Chapter 028: Discovery of Abnormality
Chu Yi and Juzi were chatting while carefully looking at the surrounding environment.
She wanted to choose a suitable place here to place the stone tablet they forged. When Duan Shi brings his men down to investigate the canyon, we will choose a suitable time to let them discover the stone tablet.
After feeling the spiritual energy content in the plants here, Chu Yi smiled with satisfaction. It is worthy of being the place where dragon veins converge. Within three years, this place should become a small blessed land. By then, Ning'an City will benefit from this place, and the people living here will also have their physical fitness upgraded, and their talents should continue to improve, which is pretty good.
As she was walking around, Chu Yi suddenly had an idea. She picked up Orange and held it in front of her eyes. "Juzi, what do you think about me building the first cultivation school here?"
Suddenly she lifted him up and asked a question, and Orange was a little confused, "Build a school here? Why?"
"Look, this place will become a paradise in the future, right? It's also a place where dragon veins converge. The country will no longer allow tourists to enter at will, and it will definitely be blocked off. But if you practice in a paradise, not only will your progress be rapid, but it can also slowly change the cultivators' physiques, purify their spiritual roots, and make their talents better. It's really killing two birds with one stone."
Orange tilted his head and agreed, "That's great. Has Lingling decided?"
"Um!"
Chu Yi nodded vigorously. Although it was a sudden idea, the more he thought about it, the more he felt that this idea was simply great.
She excitedly spoke of her thoughts, "Most modern people have poor talents. Even if they are constantly washed by spiritual energy, they can't go far in the path of cultivation. But this is all caused by external factors. Some people's spiritual roots are excellent, but they have not been nourished by spiritual energy since birth, which has led to gradual atrophy. As long as they practice in this blessed place, they will gradually improve. By then, they will be no different from the geniuses of ancient times."
Chu Yi became happier and happier as he spoke, and he almost wished he could build this school the next second.
She held the orange and spun around with a dreamy look on her face. "Then I'll use some vests to help them walk around the backstage and open the back door. Why would we worry about lacking high-end combat power? By then, there will be countless geniuses in growing flowers."
"Hahahaha~" Having said this, she finally couldn't help but let out a string of silver bell-like laughter.
Seeing how happy she was, Orange couldn't help but smile widely.
The two of them laughed foolishly for a while before they remembered to do their business.
Chu Yi put away his smile, pretended to be calm and composed like Qiao Ji, and began to think about where the stone tablet should be placed.
She began to wander around with oranges again, screening one place after another. Finally, she found a place that suited her taste in front of a steep rock wall.
Looking at the smooth stone wall in front of him that looked as if it had been cut by a knife, Chu Yi nodded with satisfaction.
Standing in front of the stone wall and looking around, you can see that it is surrounded by ancient vines, towering trees covered with moss, and the steep stone wall with no grass makes people dizzy at first sight. In addition, there are the fragmented light and shadows cast by the overlapping branches, and the cries of unknown creatures from time to time.
This is definitely where the mystery is hidden in the novel.
Orange didn't care about Chu Yi's choice. It just observed the place curiously, "Did you choose this place?"
Chu Yi took the stone tablet out of the accessories column, gestured around to determine the location for placement, "Well, let's put it here, the environment is not bad. And I sensed that there is a small dragon vein passing right underneath here. When the time comes, I will release the Dragon King and have him secretly activate the dragon vein to create a mysterious atmosphere. There won't be any flaws."
"So which vest are you going to wear, Lingling?"
"Damn it, Lord Dragon, I'm going to show off in front of everyone!" Chu Yi raised his hands and cheered. She is now particularly interested in playing tricks while wearing a vest. Every time an important vest makes its debut, she will appear on stage in person to play around.
Orange stroked his hairy face and did not comment on her hobby. He just asked, "What should we do with Qiao Ji? Should we let her run automatically?"
If Chu Yi was not wearing a vest, the suit would act according to her settings after being summoned. Although its ability to respond flexibly was a bit poor, it was enough to fool everyone.
"No, I'll just have to get Hashihime offline. Let me think..." She stroked her chin and thought for a while, then accidentally saw the stone tablet floating on the side. She suddenly screamed, "Wait! This doesn't seem to be our original plan!"
"?" Orange tilted her head. What was their original plan?
After thinking about it, Orange also remembered, and then he opened his mouth and shouted.
"ah!"
"......"
"......"
The two people looked at what they had carved on the stone tablet and didn't know what to say for a moment.
It was clearly a plan made by themselves, but both of them forgot about it as soon as they turned around.
"...Okay, let's stick to the original plan. I don't want to carve a new stone tablet." Chu Yi gave up his previous fantasy and decided to proceed according to the original plan.
"It's okay, Lingling. The original plan was for Long Jun to be more pretentious." Orange touched her and comforted her.
"This plan isn't just for showing off..." Chu Yi said in a tangled way, but looking at Juzi's distrustful eyes, she knew that it was useless to explain anything now.
After being speechless for a moment, she had to forcefully change the subject, "Okay, let me see how the stone tablet looks like when placed here."
Then the two of them slowly moved the stone tablet in the canyon.
On the mountaintop square, Liu Jimeng opened his eyes for the second time. This time she still couldn't sense anything unusual. She couldn't help but sigh and started to feel frustrated again.
Not far from her, Duan Shi was observing the surrounding environment.
Seeing that she was in a bad mood, he walked over and put his hands on the fence. He didn't look at her, but comforted her in a gentle voice: "Cheer up, how long have you been practicing? It's great that you can break through to the fusion stage in just over a month."
Liu Jimeng smoothed her messy hair in the gentle mountain breeze, but still couldn't feel happy, "I know, but..."
"No buts, we still don't see any hope of cultivation." Duan Shi interrupted her, "You are already in the Fusion Stage, and we are just ordinary mortals."
When Liu Jimeng heard him say this, he felt that it was a bit pretentious and a bit hurtful. She quickly explained: "That's not what I meant! I just feel that I'm not as useful as I thought."
People in the Dragon Group often looked at her and Qiao Ji with envy. She understood everyone's desire, so she just wanted to do what she could to find clues as soon as possible and help everyone.
She didn't want Duan Shi to misunderstand.
Duan Shi smiled gently. How could he misunderstand the girl's kindness? Otherwise, he would not have taken such good care of her.
He turned his head and met her nervous eyes with a smile, "Don't worry. We have a country behind us, and we will solve it."
Whatever the problem, they will overcome it.
"So just do your best, and don't push yourself too hard. And didn't Senior Qiao Ji say that for cultivators, the worst thing to do is to be too obsessed."
Liu Jimeng understood and thought that he was indeed too persistent. Just exhale slowly, relax yourself, and clear your messy thoughts.
After she calmed down, Duan Shi continued, "Senior Qiao Ji just said that she sensed that there was something wrong with the spiritual energy in the canyon next to her, so she went down to investigate alone. We will continue to collect data up there, and we will go down together tomorrow to take a look."
"Really? Senior is really amazing." Liu Jimeng was a little surprised. He didn't expect Qiao Ji to have a breakthrough.
"So what should I do now?" she asked. Since Qiao Ji has confirmed that there is something unusual in the canyon, there is no need to conduct such a thorough investigation on the top of the mountain.
"Let's go and see if Teacher Fang and the others need any assistance." Duan Shi called Liu Jimeng and walked towards the experts who were busy together.
Liu Jimeng agreed and followed.
Then the group was busy until the stars and the moon were high in the sky.
After Duan Shi reminded them several times, the experts reluctantly left the aura detection device and sat down by the campfire to rest.
They will sleep in tents in the square tonight. There are homestays on Mount Tai with very good conditions. However, because the equipment would be on all night and someone was needed to keep watch, after discussion, everyone unanimously decided to set up tents in the square and spend the night there.
The experts also slept together in the tents. They didn't have to keep watch at night, but if any problems occurred, they would have to be notified in time to deal with them, so they might as well just sleep here together and save time on the journey.
Since the experts themselves don't mind, rough guys like Duan Shi naturally won't mind either.
After everyone discussed it, they immediately set up several large tents. Then we built a bonfire in the square for heating and cooking.
Now, under the starry sky, everyone gathered around the huge bonfire, chatting happily and waiting for dinner to be ready.
Qiao Ji also came back in the evening. According to the news she brought back, there was indeed something abnormal at the bottom of the canyon. It was not just caused by the growth of spiritual plants or the cultivation of monsters, but it might be related to the Dragon King.
Everyone was excited after receiving this exciting news. The experts were so eager to carry the machines down that they were persuaded by Duan Shi.
Let’s stick to the original plan and go down the next day. We’ll rest on the top of the mountain tonight and get enough rest.
After chatting for a while, dinner was ready. Everyone went to get their own food one by one, then sat back in their seats and started eating quietly to replenish their energy.
Qiao Ji is a ghost cultivator and does not need to eat. As a cultivator in the Nascent Soul stage, she does not need any incense or candles. So she just straightened her body, sat not too far from everyone, and gently watched this heartwarming scene full of the breath of life.
But in fact, Chu Yi, who was wearing Qiao Ji's vest, was so greedy that her saliva was about to drip. She complained to Juzi in tears, "If I had known that I would have taken off the vest when I came back this afternoon and went back to the cabin by myself." Now I can only drool over the aroma, how miserable. '
Orange was also very greedy, but Chu Yi did not go back, and it did not want an elf to go back for dinner.
So it said pitifully: "I want to eat it too, it looks so delicious~"
"Ouch~ That was a mistake..."
Chu Yi sniffed inwardly, feeling very aggrieved. She works hard for this world, and is willing to work hard without complaint, but she can't even eat delicious food after completing a mission. She is really miserable.
After finally getting through dinner, everyone sat for a while and then prepared to rest. Only then did Chu Yi breathe a sigh of relief.
She released her fingers that were twisting her sleeves, and prepared to let Ma Jia enter a meditative state after everyone had rested, and then go back to the cabin to cook for herself.
At this time, she was extremely grateful that she had a small house, which was like a lifesaver.
After greeting everyone, Chu Yi sat there, closed his eyes and entered a meditative state.
She volunteered to keep watch tonight because she had the highest level of cultivation and did not need sleep, making her more suitable than the others. After Duan Shi persuaded her several times, seeing that she insisted, he agreed reluctantly.
A good night's sleep.
Early the next morning, before the sun had fully risen, Duan Shi and several soldiers got up.
Only Liu Jimeng and a few experts were still resting.
The few people who got up early began to clean up quietly. After finishing their personal cleaning, they were busy lighting the fire and started preparing breakfast for everyone.
Duan Shi did not add to the chaos, but walked to Qiao Ji who had opened her eyes and greeted her, "Good morning, senior, thank you for your hard work last night."
After meditating all night on Mount Tai, where the spiritual energy is more abundant, Qiao Ji now looks more refreshed than ever. She looked at Duan Shi and smiled, "Good morning, Team Leader Duan. It's just a small favor, don't worry about it."
Duan Shi just said something polite.
After being together for so long, we are no longer so unfamiliar with each other.
"Let's wait until everyone wakes up, have breakfast, and then go down the mountain to the canyon." He chatted casually with Qiao Ji, "Is the way down easy? These big guys are not easy to move."
Duan Shi looked at the instruments that were still working and felt a little distressed. This thing can't be bumped or scratched, but the mountain road is definitely difficult to walk on, and I don't know if it can be taken apart and worn.
