Why do apples fall, why does the sun rise, why do the seasons rotate?
So where does magic come from? Human beings have never stopped exploring nature and things.
Especially magic, the cornerstone that supports human prosperity, the search for its origins has never stopped from ancient times to the present.
The origins of magic vary, as can be seen from the ancient Egyptian and Chinese necromancy.
And from the twelve murals he saw after entering the cave just now, Bai Mo roughly understood where the magic on the land of Kyushu originally came from.
The answer is nature.
The ancient sages discovered that some of their people had awakened the corresponding elemental system after being exposed to rain, flooding, fire, or wind.
After a long period of trial, exploration, discovery and conclusion, it seems that by experiencing this elemental power impact, one can gain the corresponding elemental power.
Some people died of suffocation in water, some were burned to death in fire, and some died suddenly in thunder.
Experience can sometimes lead to mistakes. Magic is definitely not so easy to acquire. It doesn't mean that you can awaken it just by soaking it in water or blowing in the wind.
The following murals made Bai Mo realize that the most important things the sages discovered were the related objects containing rich elemental power and the firm belief in magic.
After this, talent and age are also indispensable options.
During the process of exploration and discovery, Bai Mo watched the characters in the murals change from wearing animal skins and linen clothes to wearing brocade and carved fur clothes.
Obviously, this summary took an unusually long time, and the murals recorded not only successful awakenings, but also failed ones.
An entire village was killed in a fire in pursuit of magic. This is a failed example in the long quest for magic, but how many real events are there?
It was relatively safe to use one's body to welcome the flood and the wind, and to feel the land, but those who welcomed the thunder, felt the frost and the fire. Even those who had a successful awakening record, but lost their lives, must be more.
Kyushu's magic is not obtained by asking for it from anyone, nor is it bestowed by gods, but is obtained from heaven and earth by one's own strength.
This also allowed Bai Mo to have a deeper understanding of the so-called natural school that he had previously learned about through Gui Yan Jian.
No wonder their awakenings one by one are so mysterious. They will understand it as they watch. The ease at that time is the accumulation of the painstaking efforts of countless predecessors.
But on the other hand, Bai Mo thought it was very reasonable.
This is a magical world after all, so magic is part of the natural rules of this world.
There is nothing wrong with the ancient people in Kyushu seeking the law from nature.
Today's awakening stones are also dug out from the mineral veins, but they are more convenient, efficient and harmless.
Bai Mo looked at the long cave ahead and wanted to know what the next step would be.
However, the front was shrouded in the power of chaos, and he could not move forward without magic power. He could not even meditate and recover here, so he had to give up.
Thinking of coming back next time, he turned around and walked out of the cave. Just as he reached the edge of the cave, he heard a voice.
"You came out? What did you gain?"
Turning around, he saw Ding Yumian standing quietly not far from his side.
"Spiritual strength has reached the sixth level."
Bai Mo smiled and glanced inside the cave. There was nothing here. The walls were just normal cave walls. However, he soon stopped breathing.
element!
Rich elemental power!
The elemental power here is not much different from that on the top floor of the three-step tower!
No wonder the three commanders and their tribes are staying here. The cave outside seems to be a huge element concentrator.
The surrounding elemental forces are raised and gathered and controlled in this cave, making it difficult for the outside world to perceive them.
"Just when I came in with you, I realized you were missing." Ding Yumian said, and then added: "You were in there for a long time."
"Oh, that's good. This place is really nice." Hearing this, Bai Mo breathed a sigh of relief.
"It's pretty good, suitable for training."
Tilting his head, Ding Yumian saw the man sitting cross-legged, with silver light and moonlight flowing on his body.
"Is this a breakthrough?"
Muttering something, she walked to the entrance of the cave and stood still, feeling her own cultivation level, looking in the direction of Yongzhou, and her words dissipated in the wind that rushed into the cave.
"I'm about to break through, too."
However, Bai Mo was stimulated by the sudden strong elemental power, and the already active summoning and space system galaxies became even more active.
So he immediately sat cross-legged, seized the opportunity, and concentrated all the power of the soul-cultivating magic weapon on the summoning system. At the same time, he added the elemental amplification in the cave to quickly advance the cultivation of the summoning system.
It was not difficult for him to break through the small realm of dimensional magic. When his cultivation reached a certain level, everything would come naturally.
As soon as the summoning system reached the third advanced level, Bai Mo immediately transferred his power to the space system.
It was still a natural outcome, and it happened to be within the validity period of the newbie experience card of this treasure land for cultivation.
"Congratulations."
When I opened my eyes, I saw Ding Yumian smiling.
"You're still trying to play the same trick on me." Bai Mo raised his eyebrows, pretending to be unhappy.
"No way."
"No." Taking a few steps closer, Bai Mo leaned in, "The congratulations are not sincere."
"What does it mean to be sincere?"
"I want a kiss."
"You are with me, and you still need Qingqing?" Ding Yumian looked at him sideways.
"Hey, that's not it, that's not what I meant, tsk~!"
Just as Bai Mo was about to explain, he saw the smile on the corner of her mouth. He immediately realized that he was being fooled and reached out to hold her down.
"I'll tell you, it's that one."
"Hmm~"
What does saliva taste like? It might be sweet. Bai Mo felt that this was the psychological hint given to him by the woman in his arms.
After enjoying it for a while, the two separated.
"Won't you get bored?"
Ding Yumian touched her swollen mouth, took out a veil and put it on, and suddenly she felt an exotic and mysterious feeling.
"Tired? How could that be, classmate Ding? If I get tired of it, you're done for, I tell you."
Seeing her put on her veil, Bai Mo smiled.
"You are telling the truth." Glancing at him, Ding Yumian said, "If you dare to say you are tired of it, you are done."
"How could that be? I feel like your veil is very attractive."
Bai Mo stroked his chin and looked at the vague face under the white veil. He continued:
"Do you have other styles? I think eye bands, hijabs, and veils are also good."
"." Ding Yumian was too lazy to pay attention to this guy whose mind was filled with lust, and just walked forward.
However, she didn't say anything, and Bai Mo shifted his attention from the headdress to other places.
"I think the rabbit ears are nice, but one part is not harmonious. We can buy a set. I think the ancient costume of the Western Region dancer is pretty good. What do you think?"
"Speaking of this, I remember I bought a few things online last time I came back. Did you bring them with you? Or we can go tonight."
Even though Ding Yumian had a calm personality, she didn't want to hear people talking about this kind of topic on the street in broad daylight, even though she didn't participate.
Seeing that this person was getting more and more outrageous, she said faintly: "If you keep talking, Qingqing and I will sleep tonight."
Bai Mo considered himself a hero, so he didn't continue.
It was already midnight when we returned to Dunhuang.
In short, he didn't sleep all night.
I have to say, the gadgets in Master Ling’s magic tool shop are quite fun.
Kunwu
As a military fortress, it has stood here for a thousand years. As the front line of the battle between Kyushu and the western demons, it has been lost several times but has never been abandoned.
As the name suggests, the city is a sword that Kyushu uses to target the demons in the northwest. It can protect itself and expand its territory.
Entering the city, you can only smell the scent of a battlefield. The entire fortress is neat and tidy, ready for battle at any time.
Every year, there are still some people who go into the northwest Gobi through Kunwu, so there is a road open in the city that goes specifically to the northwest, and they can only take this road.
In addition to the Xuandu Hunter Group, there were many other small groups and organizations traveling together. Everyone had different purposes. After leaving the city, they disappeared into the endless Gobi Desert like sand.
"There is a top-level demon tribe in the Taklamakan Desert, with a total number of demons that should exceed one million. There are also seven middle tribes and about thirty small tribes. The number cannot be fully estimated. They are densely distributed throughout the desert. Our target is the Flaming Mountain in the northern periphery. According to the demon intelligence shared with Lingling..."
Walking slowly, Wu Xuan repeated the purpose of this trip.
"Well, I brought a demon detector with a coverage range of ten kilometers. We need to bury it in advance when we see the Borg Mountains. This will ensure that we will not be surrounded by demons in the next five kilometers." Wen Du, who is in charge of command and dispatch in the hunter group, said.
Strictly speaking, the location of the Huoyan Mountain is not the real Taklamakan Desert.
But the entire northwest is covered with wind and sand, and many places can be said to be vassal territories of the Taklamakan Desert. The Huoyan Mountain is also long and vast, so it is not a bad idea to include it in the desert.
There were not many people in the group, and there were also a few from the Xuandu Hunter Group who were unwilling to take the risk. No one present had experience walking in the desert.
Fortunately, this place is not like the Sahara, with its desert maze, otherwise they would be in real danger.
Bai Mo is not afraid of this place. His fear only comes from his lack of confidence. However, he is very confident now.
This area is so vast and full of earth energy that he feels that even if he is surrounded by monsters, what he should worry about is not whether his magic power is insufficient, but whether his mind and body can keep up with a long battle.
Shen Chenhu couldn't say that he liked this place. What he liked were the mountains and hills. However, with him carrying them, Bai Mo and the others didn't have to walk.
As for Wen Du and others, he could do nothing to help them. Daju had a very clear sense of boundaries.
But there is no need to worry, as the Xuandu Hunter Group has also added a high-level summoner, and his summoned beast is very suitable for carrying people.
Those who were not carried were all mages with earth element. In this desert, they could travel by walking on the ground waves without using magic power.
The back of the Divine Dust Tiger is very broad, and its fur is soft when not in combat, making people feel like they are lying on a top-notch bed, and they want to lie lazily on it.
Bai Mo glanced at Ding Yumian and Leng Qing beside him, and felt that he had now achieved a quarter of the goal of sleeping in the same bed.
Then he looked at Lingling again, "What is their plan?"
"good."
Just then, the wizard Wang Long, who had gone to investigate the surroundings, came back.
"There is indeed a forest of withered trees ahead to prevent sandstorms. The desert entrance stated in the intelligence is correct."
Hearing the news he brought, everyone nodded happily. The entrance to the desert had not changed, which was also good news.
The desert is fluid, and you enter it from different locations with different entrances.
The reason why there is an entrance is that other places in the desert are too dangerous, and the entrance, which has already been explored clearly, is relatively safe.
Another aspect is to give yourself a direction and know where you are going, otherwise it is possible that you will walk into the demon tribe.
"Since the entrance is real, then the information we obtained about the distribution of demons can also be used as a reference."
Stepping into the entrance, Wu Xuan took out a map and said, "The latitude of Kunwu is not much different from that of the flame. If we want to go there, we will pass through the gravity corridor!"
When they saw this name, everyone's eyes suddenly fixed. Of course, they had asked about it before coming.
There are many different opinions about what kind of monsters and demons are in this desert, but outside, this endless gravity corridor is a notorious place.
This is a desert with gravity. It is constantly moving around the periphery of the desert. It is like a corridor, the only gateway into the desert.
Almost all mages who have entered the desert and gone deep into the desert have encountered this endless corridor sooner or later.
It varies in many ways. Sometimes it is extraordinarily wide, but unusually short; sometimes it is extremely long and narrow, but unusually narrow.
This gravity corridor has no shape. Only when you feel your body becomes extremely heavy and it becomes difficult for you to walk, it means that you have entered its range.
"What are you afraid of? We'll get there once we get past it. Gravity is nothing. We're earth mages, so who doesn't know how to use gravity?"
Wen Du saw that the atmosphere in the team was a bit heavy, and immediately spoke loudly.
That’s right, earth-type mages are popular in this gravity corridor, as this corridor utilizes the gravity of the earth element.
"Captain, I don't know how to do it yet, don't make it sound so simple." said the summoning mage.
"Hey, you just awakened the earth element, you know nothing, and you're still pretending in front of your brother!" Wen Du waved his hand and slapped the summoner's magic element on the shoulder.
"I'm afraid you'll think I can do it then, Captain."
The setting sun was as red as blood, stretching the shadows of everyone and the hundred-meter-high sand dunes under their feet very long.
Sitting on the back of the Shenchen Tiger, Lingling's eyes were shining brightly. Whenever she arrived at an unfamiliar place, she would look around curiously.
Bai Mo was also shocked by the scenery outside the Great Wall. There was no lonely smoke and long rivers, only the desert and the sunset.
The golden mountains stand tall and the black mountains lie flat on the ground, stretching out in a long line.
In fact, there is no need for a long river. The word "desert" is enough to describe the desolation and grandeur of the Northwest.
When I think of these two words, the images of endless sandy plains, the desolate sky and earth, the dim setting sun, and the desolate scenery all come into my mind.
"What is that!"
Suddenly, Lingling's question broke the silence brought by everyone enjoying the sunset view of Mobei.
At the end of the endless sea of sand, there stood a shadowy dark forest, like the shadow of the setting sun, dark and thick, black and vast.
Block their only way forward! (End of this chapter)
