Chapter 69: Exploring the Ancient Battlefield
"Old man Yao, I call you Master Yao, and you have been drumming for a long time...... This...... Why haven't you found the land yet? You don't know the Tao, do you?......"
This is a month after Sun Fengzhao and others leveled the thieves' den of the three Yu brothers, Sun Fengzhao, Old Man Yao, the monk surnamed Chu and the uncle and nephew of the Chen family got together again and launched an operation to explore an ancient battlefield.
The map was provided by Old Man Yao, and after Sun Fengzhao figured out this ancient battlefield, he actually found that the ancient battlefield of the ancient monks referred to on Old Man Yao's treasure map was actually near the Blood Tomb Village.
Sun Fengzhao thought of the origin of the Blood Tomb Village, and was relieved of the original saying that the Blood Tomb Village had been circulating to guard the graves of the soldiers who died here in ancient times: it turned out that the soldiers of this ancient battlefield were not mortals, but a group of ancient monks who had a great battle here. It is no wonder that the villagers of Bloody Grave Village have not been able to tell the origin of the battle, and the final result.
At this time, under the sarcasm of the monk surnamed Chu, the old man Yao rummaged in the storage bag for a long time, found a compass, took the compass, and fiddled with it for a long time to calibrate the direction, and turned around to check the location of the ancient battlefield.
According to Old Man Yao, this ancient battlefield is located on a rare place where spiritual veins converge.
But because of the earth-shattering battle of the ancient monks back then, too much mana residue and the monk's blood spattered spiritual veins turned this place into a gathering place where blood and spiritual veins were mixed. As a result, the entire radius of this ancient battlefield is shrouded in pang*power and evil energy, isolating all spiritual energy from leaking out, and at the same time, all living things are extinct, and it is difficult for humans and animals to approach, making it an extremely dangerous place.
Legend has it that it is very difficult to form, and among tens of millions of spiritual veins, it is not possible to form a bloody spiritual vein, which is formed here. This kind of bloody spirit vein not only makes it impossible for mortals to get close, but it is also very difficult for immortal cultivators to enter it.
According to Old Man Yao, he had come to this ancient battlefield once in the early years, but his mana was low, and last time he only barely entered the edge of this ancient battlefield by chance. After finding some magic weapons left by the ancient monks, he couldn't stand the pressure of the blood spirit inside, and had to retreat. According to Old Man Yao's observation, the terrain of this bloody spirit vein ancient battlefield is a barrel, and the entire main battlefield is located at the bottom of the barrel, which forms a "trapped immortal" situation, which means that the terrain of the mountain is so sinister that even true immortals will be trapped when they arrive here.
Everything in this world is not absolute, it is constantly evolving in the midst of unpredictability, peaks and valleys can be changed at any time, and spiritual veins are also constantly moving. In this trapped dragon land, there is also a spiritual eye, where the spiritual energy of the local veins is suppressed by the evil shape of the mountain, and finally converges into this hole, as long as it is excavated with spells, it can change the luck of the trapped dragon, thus opening a gap for the monks to enter it.
Although this bloody spiritual vein is not easy to form, due to the lack of artificial mining, the spiritual vein that constantly absorbs the spiritual energy of heaven and earth is constantly growing under the sun and moon, and all the spiritual energy is absorbed into its own mountain belly, and it rarely leaks out to nourish all the surrounding things. But in the end, under this natural greed, there is a gap in this trapped immortal land, and there is space for immortal cultivators to enter this place.
Old Man Yao also inadvertently broke into this ancient battlefield a few years ago, under some coincidences, and let him enter it smoothly. It's just that because his cultivation is too low, Old Man Yao was forced to retreat because he couldn't stay long in this ancient battlefield, or if he could have greater gains. But it was precisely because of this entry that Old Man Yao drew a map and calculated the best time to enter this ancient battlefield for this ancient monk.
According to Old Man Yao's teachings, every ten years, the ancient battlefield of this trapped immortal land will break the balance of natural closed barriers because of the excessive spiritual energy, suppressing the bloody qi, and a node will appear that is convenient for monks to enter and exit.
When Old Man Yao left last time, he set up a low-level magic weapon in a secret place as a guide for the next time, and now Old Man Yao has been looking for the magic weapon he has set up.
But after many years, Old Man Yao's cultivation has not increased much, and all the low-level magic weapons in his hands are used, so when they arrived here, they have been circling around the ridge designated by Old Man Yao for three hours, but Old Man Yao has not yet found the place where the magic weapons were buried back then. Just as the group was showing irritability, the old man Yao, who was at the front of the line, also muttered in his heart: "Why is my séance needle gone?
Immediately, Old Man Yao shook his head again, thinking to himself: "Impossible, the place where I hid that séance needle is very secret, and it is unlikely that people will find out." Even if other immortal cultivators passed by this place, they wouldn't pay much attention to that place. But I've already walked some way, and I think I'm supposed to have reached the place where I descended the Divine Needle, but after looking for a long time, why is there nothing on this ground?
At this time, it was noon, and the old man Yao, who had been walking on his feet for a long time, straightened up a little tiredly, looked around, and didn't see anything unusual. So I don't think about the bad possibilities anymore. Timidly glanced back at Sun Fengzhao, who was walking in the middle of the team, and silently thought in his heart, "Don't think so much, the key now is to find my séance needle." But where did I plug it in?"
Old man Yao took the initiative to take out this treasure map that day, firstly, he wanted to curry favor with Sun Fengzhao and save his life. Second, it is also out of selfishness, the opening of this ancient battlefield, if there is the help of Sun Fengzhao, a monk of the ninth layer of qi refining, it will be much easier, and even with the help of Sun Fengzhao's great supernatural powers, it is possible that Old Man Yao can go deep into the center of the bottom of the ancient battlefield.
Thinking of this, Old Man Yao dug into the storage bag for a long time, and ruthlessly found a piece of silver-white incense that was very different from ordinary "incense" in style and color. This incense stick and the séance needle are made in the same way, and there are several materials that are naturally attracted to each other, and if the incense is lit, the smoke will lead them to the séance.
At this moment, when the compass in Old Man Yao's hand was facing a certain place due south, the pointer on the compass suddenly spun rapidly, turned more than a dozen times, and suddenly stopped moving.
Old man Yao fixed his eyes and saw that not far ahead, those withered yellow grass really showed traces of artificial pressure.
Old man Yao finally came to his senses now, and after straightening his chest, he resolutely said: "Don't worry, everyone, this is the guidance I buried myself, I will definitely be able to find it!" he said and glared fiercely at the fat young man surnamed Chu, who was the most sneering.
The fat young man surnamed Chu didn't feel it, and immediately said unrelentingly: "Let's talk about it when I really find it......!"
Old man Yao did not have a verbal dispute with the fat young man surnamed Chu, as soon as he turned his head, he lit the incense in his hand, the incense was extinguished, and the faint smoke folded straight to the southeast, although the mountain wind was strong, it was condensed and not dispersed, like a rope guiding everyone forward, which shocked all the monks who followed behind Old Man Yao.
They walked in the direction of the smoke for about fifty zhang, and under a boulder on a mountain wall, they found that a séance needle wrapped in a talisman was inserted into the ground.
When Old Man Yao saw the séance needle, he cheered and shouted to the people behind him: "It's here, it's here!"
"Is this the place?" The first one to catch up and confirm was the fat young man surnamed Chu, when Sun Fengzhao walked forward quickly, he saw a hole in the ground under the boulder, which was left by inserting the séance needle.
"Here, dig here!"
"Do you have to make a hole to go in?" the fat young man surnamed Chu shouted when he heard this. Let a group of immortal cultivators who have always been high above go to plow the ground and do this kind of manual work, how can it be a cheap thing!
"You have to lift the dust covered on it before you can see that there is a layer of prohibition underneath, and you can only enter when you open this layer of prohibition!"
"Ah, there is still a ban?" this time it was Chen Bin, the uncle and nephew of the Chen family, who shouted.
"Chen Xiaodaoyou, rest assured, these days are the most vulnerable period of this prohibition, as long as Sun Daoyou uses a little means, we can enter safely!"
Old man Yao's words made the monk surnamed Chu and Chen's uncle and nephew look at each other, and after looking at Sun Fengzhao, who was silent on the side, they also called out swords and other magic weapons, and the three of them took turns together, and Ping Pong began the digging project.
There are some big rocks here, which are very difficult to dig, not to mention, and because of the random digging and illegal digging of several people, the scene has raised a sky of sand and gravel dust.
But just as he was digging a pit more than a foot deep, the monk surnamed Chu went down with a sword and suddenly shouted: "Old man Yao, come and see, why is this like this?"
Sun Fengzhao ran faster than Old Man Yao this time, and as soon as Sun Fengzhao lowered his head, he saw that a thick red liquid was oozing out of the pit!
"Blood!" Sun Fengzhao exclaimed.
If it weren't for the fact that Sun Fengzhao was now an immortal cultivator, and his knowledge had improved a lot compared to before, he really suspected that these people had gouged the mountain gods!
"This is the product of the combination of bloody qi and spiritual veins!" The first thing that jumped into Sun Fengzhao's eardrums was Old Man Yao's description and explanation of this ancient battlefield.
The thick red blood "coo-dong, coo-dong" bubbled upward, and after a while, it was full of small pits, and the fishy sweet smell was pungent. The surrounding grass suddenly disappeared from the wind, countless rats, rabbits and other beasts rushed out of the crypt, a large number of pheasants and wild birds flew away, and the clear sky was suddenly covered with a thin layer of blood, and a mournful wail sounded around......
"How...... What's going on? Old man Yao, was it the same when you came last time?" asked the fat young man surnamed Chu and Chen Wu in fear.
"Last time, there was it last time, but it didn't seem to be so powerful......" Old Man Yao couldn't help but be a little dumbfounded as he looked at the blood flowing out of Bobo.
The last few people discussed that it might be because of the convergence of this aura and the residual mana of the ancient monks, between the rock cliffs hundreds of miles away, the only breakthrough was formed. Therefore, after being opened by them, the leakage situation was a little ferocious, but it should be no big problem, so this group of monks who explored the ancient battlefield did not stop their movements and the pace of progress.
