Chapter 187: A new breath? These breezes follow the orders of the ghost scholar...
These breezes gathered in the cave at the command of the ghost scholar, and gently swept across every corner of the cave. After a moment, the ghost scholar opened his eyes and met the inquiring gazes of Ye Lu and Xi Mingren.
The ghost scholar shook his head slowly and said, "I didn't sense any strange aura."
"Nothing? Nothing?" Ye Lu asked unwillingly.
The ghost scholar said, "Nothing. According to our speculation, there should be some clues in this cave." Originally, Ye Lu and the ghost scholar thought that the Taoist should leave something in the cave, such as information about his own heritage.
Isn't that what happened in Wan Yao Valley in the beginning? Even if there was no news from the insect corpses, as long as Ye Lu and the other two went around the cold pond, they would definitely find a lot of clues.
However, contrary to the ghost book's expectations, he found nothing. Even though he used his divine power to search, he still saw nothing in his field of vision.
Ye Lu touched his chin, looked up at the cave again, and said, "Ah Xi, what did you find?"
It turned out that while the ghost book was exploring, the playful man was not idle either. He was using his five senses to feel the cave.
The curve of the Ximingren's mouth was not as high as at the beginning, but drooped silently. He shook his head and said, "I didn't feel any traces of wild beasts in the cave, but the traces of evil power are the same as what Ah Gui said." There were no living creatures either.
Ye Lu frowned. He was also exploring the cave in his own way. He explained, "There is no barrier in the cave. I used the earth veins to sense it for a while, and the earth veins told me that there is no barrier either."
After listening to what the people present said, the ghost scholar fell into deep thought. After a moment, he said seriously: "Master Dao, do you think it is possible that we are all wrong and there is really nothing in the cave?"
After saying this, Ye Lu turned and looked at him.
The ghost scholar said what he was thinking: "This Taoist knows that he will die, so he may not leave the inheritance in this cave. What if it is in the forest outside?"
Ye Lu thought for a moment and had to admit that the ghost scholar's words woke him up. Yes, according to their speculation, this Taoist came to find Wan Yao Valley, and had to die on the way because the seal exploded. In this way, the Taoist must have had some time to deal with his affairs after his death.
The ghost book student continued to speak slowly behind Ye Lu: "I speculate that the reason why this inheritance is in the White Mist Forest is that the Taoist came out to look for the whereabouts of the Myriad Medicine Valley. He must have discovered the seal in his blood halfway. If he knew it from the beginning, why would he come out? He could have stayed where he was and maybe he could have lived a little longer. If he was lucky, he could have found a suitable host."
"So what you mean is?" Ye Lu raised his chin and spoke after the ghost book behind him was born.
The three brothers were now completely in front of the cave. In front of them was a lush white mist forest. Compared with the desolate forest they saw last time, this time it was a tremendous change. The white mist dissipated, and the strange power was restored. Although it was not as good as the territory of the He Village in the forbidden stone ridges, it was still much better than before.
Ye Lu's eyes swept across the tree trunk in front of him bit by bit, trying to see something from it.
"So I must be in the White Mist Forest, or not far from the forest, but we can't see it and can't find it now." The ghost scholar said all the doubts in his heart: "Master, I even doubt whether the strange plant we encountered before was really originally in this forest? And this white fog covering the entire forest, the Xionghuanlin does use the corpses of its prey to create some white fog, but we have killed other Xionghuanvines before, and they have white fog, but it is not as good as the one in this forest."
Xi Mingren also nodded and said, "The white fog caused by the bear illusion vine I encountered later was indeed not as big as the one we encountered before."
"This white fog must be covering something." The ghost book student looked at the forest in front of him with a look of pity, and said helplessly: "We still have too few clues. We only know the approximate location, and we can't do anything else."
This kind of inheritance can also be seen from the last Wan Yao Valley. For example, the ruins must go through specific rituals or procedures, or have special bloodlines. Each ruins will be protected by an extremely large barrier. That's right, if there was no such protection, these forces would have disappeared in the long history, let alone left any inheritance.
Because for the sake of inheritance, these forces will definitely leave behind this last resort.
Breaking in by force will only destroy the barrier and all the good things along with it.
The ghost scholar believed that the Taoist must have also learned such methods. Taoism is not passed on to outsiders, and good things cannot be found without going through rituals.
"What a pity..." Ye Lu also knew what the ghost book student was talking about. He looked at Bai Wulin with the same gaze as the ghost book student.
"You can ask Yang Teng when you get back." Ximingren waited for his two brothers to finish sighing before he slowly said everything he wanted to say.
"It was still a seed at that time." The ghost scholar raised his eyebrows.
The playful man said in a bored tone, "An ordinary seed would definitely not be brought out by this Taoist. If it could be brought out, it must be special. Isn't it the same with the black peach we encountered? Its level and function are not outstanding, but it has one thing, it has inherited memory."
"I remember that Yang Teng's original cultivation level was not the Qingyou level it is now."
"Even if it doesn't know everything, even if it reveals a few words from its blood, we have found a clue. It's better than groping in the dark here now."
The ghost scholar thought that the man was right, so he tried to persuade Ye Lu, saying, "Master, it would be a good idea for us to go back to Yang Teng Tree and ask."
"Of course, we can. We came here from afar just for this matter. I thought we would find some clues, but there is nothing. So we just came here and are we going to go back like this?" Ye Lu was reluctant to go back now. He could come out but he couldn't go back disappointed.
The ghost scholar is sometimes willing to coax his master, who usually looks like a boss and rarely shows emotions.
"We can also find some strange plants."
"Who knows if that Taoist will leave behind new strange plants." The ghost scholar chuckled and said, "If we are lucky, we can encounter another strange plant. Besides, if it is really as we expected, Yangteng Fruit is not a strange plant in this area. We killed a plant strange beast. According to common sense, we should find another strange plant in this area."
This is also mentioned in the Materia Medica.
Weird plants and plant-based strange beasts are very different, but they complement each other. Where plant-based strange beasts are born, strange plants will occasionally be born as well.
I have to say, when the ghost scholar said this, Ye Lu was moved.
The three brothers were searching in mid-air, mainly Ye Lu and Xi Mingren. The ghost scholar was very self-aware and knew that his luck was not good, so he would not make a fool of himself. He did not have any hope at all about finding the strange plants or anything like that.
The ghost book was suspended in mid-air, guarding beside the two brothers to see if there was anything strange around them, while quietly watching the expressions on Ye Lu and Xi Mingren's faces.
Ye Lu shook his head: "There are none in this forest."
"Where is Ah Xi?" The ghost scholar looked at the man who had ordered Xi to die.
The playful man also shook his head, he also found nothing.
The three continued searching. This white mist forest seemed very small at first glance, but in fact, there was a mountain range behind the white mist forest. This mountain range was neither high nor low, and was definitely smaller than the forbidden stone mountains, but it was very conspicuous in the wilderness. The three slowly moved from the white mist forest to the top of this mountain range.
Ye Lu fell from the air again, and behind him, the ghost book student and the playful man followed down.
Ye Lu looked at the Chinese toon tree in front of him. Under the green branches and leaves were clusters of fruits. The fruits were long and oval in shape. What caught Ye Lu's attention was a Chinese toon fruit with a bit of mysterious power.
"This is also a half-ghost food." Ye Lu said helplessly to the ghost book student and the playboy behind him.
"This search is such a waste of time." Ximingren shrugged and complained for the first time. They had gone up and down many times along the way, but each time they got nothing. The best thing was that they encountered a piece of semi-weird food.
But the half-weird food has little effect on them, and it’s useless to take it.
"There's no other way. We all rely on the breath of strange power to find strange plants." The common feature of strange plants is that they have the breath of strange power. Unfortunately, half-strange food also has the breath of strange power.
The other two were silent.
After the ghost scholar finished speaking, he looked at the sky. It was already evening, and the sky was tinged with a yellow haze. He stretched lazily and said, "It's getting late. Let's go back to the mountain early. If we can't find the strange plant this time, then we can go back to the Forbidden Stone Mountains and continue looking for it."
There are so many mountains in the Forbidden Stone Mountains that even the people who go into the mountains every day dare not say that they have seen them all.
Ye Lu was somewhat reluctant, but he also knew that the ghost scholar was right. He sighed and didn't know when they would come out next time. He estimated that after returning to the mountain, the three of them would be busy with their own things.
The ghost book student has to take care of the affairs of He Village, the people have to go out to practice martial arts, and occasionally he has to follow his instincts to help the people who worship him complete some things.
The dolls that were enshrined in the Xi Ming Ren were also discovered by the villagers. At first, the parents and elders of the dolls were terrified when they saw them. There could not be two gods in one place, and He Village could not serve two gods. They already had the Fude Zhengshen who eats wind and drinks dew as their home.
Unfortunately, the children were so young, so the parents had to go and ask the ghost scholar for advice. Only after getting a positive answer did they avoid smashing the altar.
Also because of the offering, the people of Ximing are much busier than usual.
Ye Lu himself also has his own things to do. He has to go back to practice. He is now at the Qingyou level, and he will continue to climb to the Xueyuan level, the Heigui level, and the growth of his companion strange plant.
Ye Lu hopes that his companion plant can get the best. This will require more resources to be invested, and Ye Lu will be even busier.
This period of time is their rare free time.
Unfortunately, the relaxing time passed in a flash, and Ye Lu also knew that they needed to go back as soon as possible.
Ye Lu sighed softly, rubbed his forehead, and said nothing. He gathered his thoughts, turned around and prepared to go back to Chongshan. The ghost scholar and the playful man also showed a little reluctance on their faces, but they still followed Ye Lu obediently.
Three figures flashed across the sky, and Ye Lu was still leading the way in front.
Suddenly, the figure at the back stopped abruptly, and floated up and down and left and right in the air, as if doing something.
"......!" Ye Lu was the first to notice that the playful man had stopped. His face changed and he also stopped moving. The ghost book student stopped behind him and turned his head, just in time to see the playful man sniffing something like a big cat.
The playful man frowned for a rare moment, as if he had encountered something puzzling.
Ye Lu and the ghost scholar looked at each other, and the same meaning was revealed in their eyes. None of them knew the talent of the Xi Ming people. Could it be that they really found the strange plant this time?
Ye Lu couldn't hold back his thoughts, so he stepped forward and asked, "Ah Xi, what do you smell?"
The playful man tilted his head. When he heard Ye Lu's words, he rarely raised his head from the smell he smelled and doubtfully expressed his current feelings: "I smelled a very strange smell, somewhat familiar, yet a little strange, but too weak and disappeared quickly."
"Could it be a strange plant?" The ghost book student added.
"No." The man shook his head and said with certainty: "It's not a strange plant. A strange plant doesn't have this aura."
"It's very new, very tender, and has a familiar smell. What is it?" Ximingren was also in distress.
"Is there any strange power?" Ye Lu followed the playful man's train of thought, thought for a moment, and asked.
"have!"
