"Junior Brother Liu is the person in charge, since we haven't returned yet, let's wait here for a few more days. By the way, plan for the remaining time." Jin Tianci said.
"Well, there are a few other disciples who have not recovered from their injuries, and they can also take the opportunity to rest for a while. To be honest, the danger of the ruins is far beyond expectations, and I don't know how many people will eventually return alive. "Qiulongzi said with a wry smile.
"Since they chose to enter the ruins, naturally they should have had this realization. Besides, the sect had the intention of letting these crystal transformation disciples enter here with more manpower to hunt for treasures. As for fighting with other forces and alien races, naturally they have to It's up to you and me." Jin Tianci replied with a cold look.
"That's true. Among the other disciples, only Junior Brother Liu can really help." Upon hearing this, Qiu Longzi nodded helplessly.
So next, Taiqingmen and others rested quietly in this valley stone forest for a few days, but Liu Ming never appeared.
In the secret room of the stone forest, Qiulongzi walked back and forth a few times with a solemn expression, suddenly stopped, turned and said to Jin Tianci who was not far away:
"Senior Brother Jin, now it has been a long time since you encountered the demon cultivator, but there is still no news from Senior Brother Liu, what do you think?"
"Although I don't want to admit it, it is very possible that Junior Brother Liu has something, or was involved in other things, and it is not impossible that he has even fallen." Jin Tianci frowned and said slowly after thinking about it.
"No matter what the situation is, we have been delayed here for too long and can't wait any longer." Qiu Longzi said calmly.
"Well, let's do things separately according to the original plan. Remember to leave the mark of the door along the way, and hope that Junior Brother Liu can follow along." Jin Tianci sighed.
After a meal, the two of them flew out of the valley, each leading a team of disciples as before.
"Junior Brother Qiu, be careful along the way." Jin Tianci said to Qiu Longzi.
"Brother Jin also take care. One month later, I will meet at the blue lake on the map!" Qiulongzi took out the map and pointed to a large lake on it.
"Okay!" Jin Tianci nodded.
Qiu Longzi put away the map, and after arching his hands to Jin Tianci, he took Long Yanfei, sisters Ouyang and six others and left.
"Then let's go too." Jin Tianci turned and said, looking at the escape light of Xiaolongzi and the others.
Jin Tianci brought slightly fewer people, with only five people, but they were all disciples of Luo Tiancheng, Wen Yu and other capable students.
Although the people of Taiqingmen encountered many obstacles along the way, compared with Moxuanzong and Tiangongzong, the number of fallen disciples is very small, and the route of exploration along the way has generally maintained the established plan, and has not been beaten. chaos.
"Brother Jin, wait a minute." Luo Tiancheng said suddenly.
Jin Tianci was startled when he heard the words, turned his head and asked:
"What's the matter?"
"That's it. When I was chased by the monster race before, I accidentally killed an alien monk and got a ruin map from him, not far from the area we are going to explore next. I don't know if I can pass by. Check it out?" Luo Tiancheng said, taking out a piece of jade slip from his arms and handing it to Jin Tianci, and said with some expectation.
Jin Tianci raised his eyebrows, reached out his hand to take it, and stuck it on his forehead, penetrating the divine consciousness.
Inside the jade slip is a map with a location marked on it.
"Well, it's about three or forty thousand miles to the southeast. It's really not far. In that case, let's stop by and take a look." Jin Tianci handed the jade slip back to Luo Tiancheng, nodded and said.
Others were happy when they heard that there were ruins to explore, but Wen Hu didn't know why, and they looked a little gloomy.
"Let's go." Jin Tianci waved his hand and turned into a gallop of white starlight. When the others saw this, they also hurriedly urged Dunguang and followed.
After Jin Tianci and the others left, no one noticed that outside the valley, in a winding creek, a vaguely blue shadow suddenly appeared, almost exactly the same as the stream. If you don’t look carefully, , It's hard to tell.
The shadow slowly condensed into an entity, a strange-looking alien race.
This person has few clothes on his body, is tall, and is more than two feet tall. There are some water-blue crystal scales growing on most of his body, including his face, and his pair of eyes are also blue. He looks to Jin Tianci and others. In the direction away, there was a hint of contemplation on his face.
"Remains..." the blue alien murmured to himself, and then a layer of light blue water appeared on his body, and disappeared again in a flash.
According to the instructions on the map, Jin Tianci and the others hurriedly hurried all the way, and finally arrived at the area marked on the map after seven or eight days, a huge swamp above the sea.
Within the field of vision, there are patches of low reeds, as well as dotted water surfaces. The large ones are dozens of miles away, and the small ones are only a few meters in size. The faint mist condensed over the swamp makes it impossible to fully see its truth. Allow.
"It should be here." Luo Tiancheng said in his mouth while holding the jade slip map and looking around.
It's just that the surrounding environment is similar, and the terrain rarely fluctuates. It's not easy to judge where exactly is marked on the map for a while. Even if you use the divine sense search, facing such a big swamp, it won't play much role.
"Junior Brother Luo, seven or eight hundred miles away in that direction, there is an area where the aura fluctuates a little bit abnormally." Jin Tianci closed his eyes for a moment, and said facing one direction.
"Thank you Brother Jin for pointing." Luo Tiancheng looked at Jin Tianci in the direction pointed by him. After a while, there was a trace of joy on his face, and he hurried away.
Jin Tianci and the others followed, and after flying for about a few hours, the vision in front of him was wide, and a small basin with a radius of tens of miles suddenly appeared in front of him.
What's strange is that the terrain here is obviously very low, and there is marsh water around it, and there is not even a drop of water seen here.
There are many strange rocks in the basin, and there is a towering stone hall in the center, which seems to be made of ordinary stones, but everyone can clearly see the faint blue light flowing on the walls of the stone hall. Non-stop.
"That's it!" Seeing this, Luo Tiancheng showed a look of joy on his face.
"There are no monsters lurking around here. It's safe. Let's go in together. However, the ruins here were found only after Junior Brother Luo provided the map. No matter what treasures they find inside, they must give half of them to him." Jin Tianci said lightly.
"This is natural."
"Senior Brother Jin rest assured."
No one else has any objections, and such a distribution is reasonable.
Everyone flew in front of the stone hall and looked inside through Zhang Xugao's hall door. There was a dim space inside.
"Be careful, everyone, there are restrictions on the walls of the stone temple, and it is not possible to use divine sense to probe inside." Jin Tianci said with a flash of eyes.
Others heard that their complexion changed and they couldn't use the divine sense to investigate, so they could only see with their eyesight, and the ability to perceive the enemy was greatly reduced.
"Let's go!" Everyone looked at each other for a while, Luo Tiancheng stepped into the stone hall first, and the others slowly followed.
There was only one passage inside the stone hall, which seemed to lead to the underground diagonally. After a short while, the surroundings became pitch black, and a thick mud and moist breath came to the face.
Luo Tiancheng walked in the forefront, shaking one hand, an egg-sized moonstone appeared in his hand. As soon as this thing appeared, the soft white light immediately showed the surrounding area clearly.
Jin Tianci frowned. Although the moonstone illuminated the front, if there were monsters lurking in the passage here, everyone would be an obvious target.
However, it is impossible to use the divine sense to detect here. The only thing that can be relied on is the eyesight. Lighting is necessary. He didn't say much, just watched for the surrounding movement.
There was a muddy ground underneath. Everyone stepped forward with one foot lowered and one foot shallow, but the passage was very long and narrow. Everyone walked for a full quarter of an hour, and after several turns, they still didn't see the end of the front.
However, Luo Tiancheng and others are not angry but happy, the more secret this place is, the more precious the treasures hidden here.
It was tens of feet further forward, and a corner appeared in front of him, a faint white light appeared, and a thick medicinal fragrance was exuding in the air.
"It should be an exit ahead. Be careful." Jin Tianci moved his body and blocked Luo Tiancheng.
Luo Tiancheng understood and took the moonstone in his hand. Everyone lightened their steps and slowly fumbled over.
When everyone poked their heads from the corner quietly, the scene in front of them surprised everyone immediately.
The front is indeed the end of the passage. It is an underground cave with a large area. There are many white stalactites around. The aura is very strong, almost all of them gathered into a mist.
In the middle of the cave, there is a medicine cattail, inside it is faintly discernible, there are many spiritual herbs of different colors growing, and the fire temperature is not low when it is swept away.
"It turned out to be a natural medicine garden. No wonder the aura is so strong here." A Taiqing Sect disciple said in a low voice in surprise.
Although everyone was excited, no one rushed over.
However, all the treasures of the heavens and the earth are guarded by monsters. This common sense is still remembered in everyone's hearts. Moreover, they cannot use the divine sense here, so they will naturally act more carefully.
But everyone checked carefully, and there really didn't seem to be the slightest difference in the front, and there was no monster beast guarding it, so they really relaxed and looked at the medicine garden in front of them with bright eyes.
Luo Tiancheng walked to the corner of the cave in a few steps, where a dozen green-green plants grew in front of a spirit grass carved from jasper.
"This is jasper grass, looking like this, at least it has medicinal properties for more than ten thousand years." Jin Tianci's voice came over.
When Luo Tiancheng heard the words, there was a trace of excitement on his face. No matter what kind of spiritual grass, as long as the medicinal properties exceed ten thousand years, even for the monks in the Celestial Image Realm and the Tongxuan Realm, it has a certain value.
