Chapter 116 Chapter 116 (Catching Bugs) "Ayan's flute music...
The bamboos are straight and green, and the leaves rustle.
The residual warmth from the young master's warm hand in his palm was also carried away by the wind blowing through the bamboo forest.
Jiang Yan stood there for a while, his head half lowered, and no emotion could be discerned on his delicate face.
After a while, he raised his eyes again, his eyes calm.
There was a random teleportation formation at the entrance of the cave, which was something no one had expected.
It seems that the formations of the four gates in the east, west, south and north are not consistent.
The Snow Demon King once led a few people to enter through the north gate and had never encountered such a thing, otherwise he would have reminded them in advance.
The disciples who can come to Beizhou are all the best in the Sword Sect, and Gu Jingyun is the chief disciple. He has a strong ability to deal with crises and will never get into trouble easily.
There's no need to get anxious or angry, but worry is inevitable.
Especially...
Jiang Yan felt the spiritual power that was almost suppressed in his body. His body, which had always been as light as a feather, now felt as heavy as that of an ordinary person.
He couldn't even use any spiritual power.
Jiang Yan drew out the Demon-Breaking Sword and performed two experimental moves.
He has been exercising actively for many years and is still young, so he doesn't seem to be out of breath. He is also more agile than the average person and looks like a professional martial artist.
But in the eyes of the monks, they are indeed no different from ordinary people.
I don't know if the spiritual energy is suppressed only in this bamboo forest or in other places as well.
Jiang Yan sheathed his sword, frowned, pondered for a moment, then took a step forward and walked along the bluestone slab.
Anyway, he had to explore the surroundings to see if anyone was assigned near him. At the very least, he had to get out of this bamboo forest.
The bamboo forest is rustling.
Jiang Yan looked around and saw that after a few hours, the "sun" in the sky had passed the sun.
I walked almost all over the bamboo forest, but still couldn't find anyone.
His spiritual power was suppressed into a mortal body, and his physical strength also decreased significantly.
Jiang Yan was tired from walking, so he picked up a big stone at the edge of the bamboo forest, brushed off the dust on it, and sat down.
He pulled out the map and looked at it.
"Where is this place..." Jiang Yan tried to find a landmark to match.
Being randomly assigned, he might be thrown from the east to any corner of the cave, and the originally planned route would be useless.
He had a good memory and sharp eyesight, and he quickly found a bamboo forest in the southeast direction of the map, named "Qingzhu Garden".
Based on the terrain and topography I have just walked through, as well as the map index, I can almost confirm that I am now in Qingzhu Garden.
Qingzhu Garden is located on the hillside of a mountain called "Qingyang Mountain". If you want to go anywhere else, you have to go out of Qingyang Mountain.
If you have spiritual power, it would be fine. You can just fly away on the sword.
At worst, he still had a magic broom in his Xumi Ring! He was an expert at controlling a broom.
Thinking of this, Jiang Yan's eyes lit up.
yes!
Is he stupid? He actually forgot about the magic broom.
If I can’t use spiritual power, can’t I use magic power?
Jiang Yan took out his magic wand and tried to mobilize the magic power in his left hand.
Half a second later, a look of joy appeared on the young man's face.
The magic is unlimited! Unhindered!
I guess when my father left the cave, he hadn't known about magic yet, and the formation only targeted the spiritual power of monks.
Jiang Yan used several magic spells in succession, and the magic power required and the difficulty of the spells increased successively.
The simplest ones are household magic, such as the simplest cleaning spell - making the whole body look brand new.
The second is spells with elemental attributes, such as ice blades, fireballs, etc. Jiang Yan does not have these attributes, and the corresponding spells have attack power, but they are all basic attacks.
Jiang Yan tried to use his most familiar wood spell, Revival of All Things - speeding up the recovery of magic power and physical strength, slowing down and recovering from injuries.
There is also light magic, holy light shining - dispel negative states and slowly restore health.
These all work.
It’s a pity that the magic factor in the cave is even less than that in the outside world. The magic factor in the secret realm is consumed twice as fast as outside, but the recovery speed is 0.5 times faster.
Don't panic.
Jiang Yan touched the face of the Sumeru Ring and found many magic stones inside.
In an emergency, you can restore your magic power by absorbing magic stones.
The highest level of the Philosopher's Stone is more expensive.
Fortunately, he is very rich.
Jiang Yan calculated the remaining magic power and decided that he could still fly down the mountain using a broom!
He exhaled the broom and sat astride it, pointing the tip of his wand at it.
"……rise!"
A low and fast magic spell was uttered quickly from the young man's mouth. At the moment the last syllable fell, a beam of light burst out from the tip of the wand and fell into the broom.
The broom carried Jiang Yan into the air.
His feet left the ground and flew up less than ten meters, just above the top of the bamboo. Suddenly, a huge thunderclap sounded in the sky above his head, which scared Jiang Yan.
Jiang Yan looked up blankly.
The sky, which had been clear just a moment ago, changed in an instant. A few dark clouds floated precisely above him, and more dark clouds were rolling in from the distance.
Jiang Yan: “…”
Warning thunder roared overhead again.
Jiang Yan tentatively flew forward half a meter.
Thunder roared down, and if Jiang Yan hadn't dodged quickly, he would have been struck directly. Unfortunately, the bamboo that was struck was directly broken in two from the middle, and when it fell, it also crushed a lot of innocent green bamboos.
"I'm not allowed to cheat." Jiang Yan landed sullenly and muttered, "Isn't it my ability to fly? Why can't I fly?"
My father is really going too far.
Without full confidence, Jiang Yan did not dare to fight head-on. A few clouds had such power. If all the dark clouds in the distance gathered together, if they were accidentally hit, this "mortal" body would be seriously injured.
Unless it is extremely urgent and you are at your wit's end, do not challenge the "rules" of the secret realm.
Just rely on your own two feet.
After Jiang Yan landed steadily, the dark clouds above his head slowly dissipated and the sky returned to blue.
Jiang Yan: “…”
He lost his temper slightly and humphed quietly.
The dark clouds above seemed to have heard it and gathered back quickly, hovering above for a long time.
...Threat! An obvious threat!
Jiang Yan closed his mouth and glared at the dark clouds. He angrily stuffed the broom back into the Xumi Ring and turned away.
He walked for a long time along the downhill path.
This road seems to have no end.
Jiang Yan looked up; the dark clouds had dissipated without him noticing, and a rosy glow spread across the horizon, with the entire sky being a brilliant crimson color.
It's almost dark.
Jiang Yan frowned slightly.
The scale of the map was not clear and was quite vague. But no matter how exaggerated it was, it was not possible to walk all day and still be halfway up the mountain.
This is not right.
The young man's stomach growled.
This was strange. On weekdays, he had been fasting, and eating three meals on time was just a routine to satisfy his appetite... He was also used to being fed by Gu Jingyun.
Nowadays, I really have consumed too much physical energy. It is a basic need and I cannot do without eating.
Jiang Yan sat down on the green grass beside the road.
There were quite a few snacks and biscuits in the Sumeru Ring. Although there was no tea, there was quite a lot of water and wine.
I don’t know if my brother has any food or drinks with him. What if he is hungry or thirsty?
If you are thirsty, you can drink mountain spring water. If you are hungry, there is not even a hare to be seen on the road, no matter how advanced your hunting skills are, there is nothing you can do.
Jiang Yan didn't touch the wine, just drank a few sips of water, and picked a few biscuits that were filling but not very tasty.
"Leave the rest to my brother." Jiang Yan carefully packed the delicious and filling snacks into a box and put it away carefully.
After eating and drinking, Jiang Yan was not in a hurry to leave.
He is reviewing.
It's still too hasty.
As we walked along, the surrounding scenery seemed to be changing at a glance, but upon closer inspection, it had not changed at all.
He should have noticed the clues earlier, but he ignored this important information because he was in a hurry to go down the mountain to find Gu Jingyun.
There is probably not only a formation here that suppresses spiritual power, but also an illusion similar to a "ghost wall"!
In other words…
Is this really Qingyang Mountain?
Although the map only specifically marks "Qingzhu Garden" - the only landmark with "bamboo" - what if the map is incomplete?
Jiang Yan began to think. If he wanted to get out of Qingyang Mountain, it was useless to just "walk". He also had to break the formation.
He closed his eyes and carefully recalled every scene since entering the cave.
There are two bluestone slabs on the ground: one path goes down the mountain, and the other goes deep into the bamboo forest.
Green bamboos that are taller than ordinary bamboos lead to the lush shrubs in the mountains and the sparse and open vegetation at the foot of the mountain.
The reason why we are not allowed to go higher must be because of what we can see after going higher.
The dark clouds in the sky floated and dispersed in the direction, and the bamboos fell towards the direction where the dark clouds floated after being split, also pointing to the depths of the dense forest.
"...I did something wrong." Jiang Yan opened his eyes and whispered, "I shouldn't have gone down the mountain, I should have gone up the mountain!"
He wanted to go back to the place where he first landed and explore the surroundings carefully again.
There must be an antidote within ten steps.
The sword master creates a maze not to trap people to death, but to see people solve the puzzle and break the formation!
Jiang Yan dusted off the dust on his body, stood up and prepared to go back.
Just as he took half a step, a light suddenly flashed around his waist.
Jiang Yan looked down and found that it was the Cold Dragon Flute that Gu Jingyun had given him.
The magic weapon has a spirit, as if it wants him to do something.
Jiang Yan was puzzled: "Do you want me to play a song?"
The cold dragon flute flickered, as if in agreement.
"At this time?"
Han Long Di flashed faster and kept urging.
"Okay." Jiang Yan compromised, "Although I'm not in the mood right now... Can I just play a random song?"
Han Longdi did not object.
Jiang Yan didn't deliberately strike any poses, nor did he intend to play any particular tune. He admitted that he was still a little anxious...
Because I miss Gu Jingyun.
He never knew that being separated from Gu Jingyun would be so painful.
Jiang Yan had been separated from Gu Jingyun for more than half a month near the Mid-Autumn Festival, which made him very uncomfortable.
It had only been one day—or even less than a day—but he had already begun to miss her.
Jiang Yan didn't understand why Hanlong Flute forced him to play the flute, but since the magic weapon recognized its master, it would not harm the owner.
He whistled a random tune.
It's really nonsense.
This piece of music does not have an accurate score, and it is not even a complete piece of music, but a mixture of two or three pieces.
Sometimes I get confused while playing. I should have transitioned from this syllable to the second half of song A, but I accidentally jumped to the middle of song B along a similar syllable, and then jumped to song C...
Anyone who hears this will have to say, what a hodgepodge!
Han Long Flute did not stop. Jiang Yan guessed that it just wanted to make a sound and had no idea what kind of sound it wanted. It was probably also aware of its owner's musical attainments and did not dare to put any hope on it.
Jiang Yan hadn't finished his impromptu song yet when he heard familiar footsteps that were heavier than usual in the distance.
Jiang Yan suddenly turned his head and stared at the person who came.
In the afterglow of the setting sun, a handsome man in black clothes, carrying a long sword, came towards the light.
"Ayan's flute playing... has improved again." The man walked up to Jiang Yan and thought for a long time before he found such a euphemistic description.
Gu Jingyun touched the young man's cheek and chuckled, "Why are you stunned?"
Jiang Yan finally came back to his senses.
"Brother?! How did you know I was here?"
Jiang Yan was extremely surprised and hugged Gu Jingyun tightly. He looked up at Gu Jingyun, with him in his eyes and heart.
Gu Jingyun let the young man crawl into his arms.
He coaxed her gently, "I heard the sound of your flute and followed it to find me."
"I thought I would be separated from you for a long time." Jiang Yan said.
"How could that be?" Gu Jingyun said, "No matter when, I will find you as quickly as possible."
