Chapter 780: Treasure Map of the Flood Desolation
It had already arrived at the flood wilderness, and Zhao Yuan collected the unfinished stone boat into the Lingtai World Realm, and randomly fell into a scenic canyon.
Dense forests, tall trees, shade the sky and the sun, ancient vines entangled, the valley bottom stream is clear and turbulent, the spring water trickles, the cliffs on both sides, the clouds on the top, the strange peaks and different stones, the ghostly axe, the shadows of the mountain rocks and trees are swaying, lush, the mountain flowers in the rock crevices are brilliant, gorgeous and colorful.
Although the Great Qin Empire is a cold winter with dripping water into ice, this flood is like spring all year round.
Walking in the canyon, breathing in the fresh and pleasant air, listening to the birds and chirping in the forest, and the cry of apes, Zhao Yuan reminded Zhao Yuan of the artistic conception of "the tiger roars and the dragon sings a river, and the birds sing and the flowers are fragrant in spring on both sides".
Zhao Yuan almost forgot that he once had the dream of becoming a poet.
Back then, Zhao Yuan was not only famous all over the world because of the list of villains, nor just because of his great military exploits, his poems are still widely circulated in the Great Qin Empire and are popular.
Zhao Yuan found a clean stone, sat on it, and summoned a pot of wine from the Sumeru ring.
"The weather in Jiangnan is good in October, and the poor winter scenery is like spring. The frost is light and does not kill the grass, and the desert sand is dry at the beginning of the warm day. The old leaves are yellow like tender trees, and the cold cherry branches are white flowers. At this time, he was drunk with envy, and the five horses had no reason to enter the restaurant......"
"Sour Xiucai, do you know how to know the mountain?" A pleasant voice interrupted Zhao Yuan, who was immersed in the artistic conception of poetry.
"I don't know what to do. β
Zhao Yuan glanced at the bottom of the rock, there were five young people, one of them was a girl with a graceful figure and good looks, and the other four were all young people with lofty instruments.
Judging from the clothes of the people and the weapons they wore, the five people should have been cultivators of different sects who were temporarily traveling together.
Taking risks together when the cultivation realm of the Great Qin Empire was prevalent was not only to make friends, but also to deepen the relationship between sects.
Of course, the biggest reason is that more people means safer, after all, no one wants to offend several Xiuzhen sects at the same time.
"You're a cultivator?"
A slender young man with thick eyebrows and starry eyes looked at Zhao Yuan curiously.
At this time, Zhao Yuan's long hair had been pulled up, a scholar-like bun was tied, and a gray robe covered his sturdy body.
Of course, usually scholars don't go to this desolate area to play, so the young man asked.
"Yes. Zhao Yuan's face was restrained.
"Childe, in this barren mountains and mountains, fierce beasts are rampant, a few more people are safer, it is better to go together" The graceful girl was very enthusiastic and invited.
"No, thank you. Zhao Yuan nodded politely, he had already seen that this was a group of rookies who went out to practice, so he was naturally unwilling to be with a group of rookies, so as not to be burdensome to a group of them.
The girl just nodded, and did not talk nonsense to persuade her, and then, gathered together with a group of young people, chattering and discussing something, as if there was no agreement.
Treasure hunting.
Map.
Route......
......
Listening to the words that kept spitting out the mouths of a group of people, Zhao Yuan's heart moved, it seemed that this group of people should have a map on them.
Zhao Yuan regretted it for a while, knowing that they had a map, and he should have promised them to go together just now.
"Childe, do you know how to look at the map?" Just as Zhao Yuan was remorseful and thinking about approaching them, the girl suddenly raised her head and beckoned to Zhao Yuan.
"Some. Zhao Yuan was immediately overjoyed.
"Help us see, we can't tell the direction anymore. The girl and a group of young people were also pleasantly surprised.
"Good. β
Zhao Yuan cautiously climbed down the boulder, but it caused a group of young people to laugh.
Sure enough, it was a gathering of likes, and this group of young people looked extremely innocent, without the slightest scheming, and directly handed an ancient parchment scroll to Zhao Yuan, without any vigilance.
The parchment scroll has been yellowed, and the handwriting lines inside are a little blurred, and only the mountains, rivers and stars can be vaguely seen, and it looks like something ancient.
"This map, at present, I can only guess the approximate path, the specific walking route, I need to wait until dark, wait and see the stars to be determined. Zhao Yuan glanced at it and handed the parchment roll to the curvaceous girl.
"Ah...... That's ......."
Everyone looked up at the sky with a disappointed face, it was noon, and it would take at least a few hours to wait for the stars to come out.
"Brother Tai, you are alone, and there are many snakes, insects and beasts in the flood wilderness, it is better to go with us, there is a little to take care of, besides, what we are looking for is a treasure cave, according to legend, the treasures in the cave are piled up, and I don't care about one more point, Brother Tai may wish to consider it!" said an older young man.
"Yes, yes, in this barren mountain range, you walk alone, in case you encounter some evil demons and beasts, it will be terrible, and with us, it is much safer. β
"Childe, don't worry, we are all people who cultivate the truth, and we are the most upright!"
β......β
The five of them chattered and persuaded Zhao Yuan to join the gang.
"That's it!" Zhao Yuan looked like he had been thinking for a long time, and finally, he nodded and said: "It is also a kind of fate that everyone can meet in this barren mountain and wilderness, since this is the case, let's accompany everyone into the mountain together!"
When everyone saw Zhao Yuan agree, they immediately cheered happily one by one, and they were overjoyed.
According to the instructions of the map, everyone walked along the canyon towards the inside, and after some conversation, Zhao Yuan had a general understanding of this group of people.
The five of them came from three little-known sects, and the mountain gate was on the edge of the wilderness, and the relationship was good, and they often played together, which was also a childhood sweetheart.
Not long ago, when the girl among the five was in the nearby market, she accidentally got a sheepskin treasure map from the hands of an original resident, and she germinated a treasure hunt.
Zhao Yuan was originally worried that they would find out his identity, but when he said that his name was Zhao Yuan, the expressions on the faces of the five people did not react at all, obviously, these five people basically grew up in the mountains, and they had very little contact with the outside world, and they didn't know that there was an undefeated god of war called Zhao Yuan in the Great Qin Empire.
Seeing that everyone had never heard of his name, Zhao Yuan was relieved a lot.
In addition to having rich experience in living in the wild, the five people have almost zero sophistication, which can be described as naΓ―ve, and they didn't even ask Zhao Yuan's identity.
For the five of them, Zhao Yuan is dressed as Sven, looks loyal, and doesn't look like a bad person.
Inexplicably, Zhao Yuan thought of the group of senior brothers in the Black Forest back then, compared to the group of intriguing cultivators, this group of five people was simply incredibly simple......
Zhao Yuan didn't know what to do, these five people had very special identities, they were all the children of the head of the sect, and they were usually cared for in the palm of their hands, plus they had never left the mountain gate to enter the rivers and lakes, so they naturally didn't know that the rivers and lakes were sinister.
However, Zhao Yuan was amazed by the experience of five people living in the wild.
After walking for more than an hour, everyone found a small stream to settle down, and then, looking for traces of mountain bird activities around, soon, they found a place where birds were active, set a trap, but less than half an hour, they hunted more than 20 fat birds and a big rabbit, its high efficiency, so that Zhao Yuan was amazed.
Zhao Yuan carefully observed the trap, the structure is very simple, a piece of stone, supported by a small wooden stick underneath, on the wooden stick, tie a thin thread, and then, under the piece of stone, sprinkle some grain, until a bird enters, as long as it is gently pulled, the stone falls, and the bird is pressed to death......
......
Of course, although the five people are simple, they are not stupid, and they are also observing Zhao Yuan.
The five people were able to accept Zhao Yuan, in addition to needing Zhao Yuan, mainly because Zhao Yuan was the same age as them, and the gap was not very big, and Zhao Yuan didn't look like a vicious person, besides, there were five of them, and they had an absolute advantage in numbers, so they were naturally not afraid.
After some observation, Zhao Yuan gave them the impression that he was a somewhat withdrawn and high-minded cultivator, looking at his age, his cultivation should be similar to them, and judging from Zhao Yuan's curious look, the experience of the rivers and lakes is not good......
