Chapter 32: Going South (1)

Su Tang?

Another member of the Su clan?

Chen Xun thought that in this thousands of miles of area, besides the Tianman strong men of the large tribe, perhaps only the Su clan of Canglan, have such a young strong men produced?

"My name is Chen Xun." Chen Xun wrote the word "Chen Xun" in the snow with his fingers, and then wiped it off casually.

He didn't have much favoritism for the Su family. Although Su Tang was really not bad, compared to the cultivation of the two, one was in the sky and the other was on the ground, and there was nothing to talk about. He squatted on the ground and observed the footprints of the three people passing by in order to see more information from it.

Su Tang sat aside and patiently looked at Chen Xun squatting on the ground to observe the traces on both sides.

The ten-year cold wave will cross Xiling in autumn and sweep the lake and wasteland north of Mangyaling. This is no secret for the cultivators in Canglan City.

Su Tang has reached the critical stage of cultivating spiritual energy in nature, so after autumn, she entered the depths of the lake and wanted to absorb the spiritual hell of the world full of spiritual energy.

Just as Chen Xun said, she was practicing alone in the depths of the lake and wasteland. She was so bored that she could watch for a long time when she watched an ants fight.

That night, he saw the top of the lonely peak soaring into the sky. He ran over to see what happened, but he could not save the barbarians from the mouth of the wolf pack, but he also saw Chen Xun collecting corpses in the valley.

She was very curious at the time:

How could the barbarians of Mangyaling let a young man who was not yet adult and had a pretty talented person enter the lake and wasteland where beasts appear alone in the cold winter when the cold wave hits south?

She also wanted to know, why did a guy with such a low cultivation level dare to enter the lake and wasteland alone? Are you really not afraid of those wild beasts?

After that, she followed Chen Xun intentionally or unintentionally.

With Chen Xun's low cultivation level, he could not notice that she was following her, so she regarded this as a adjustment for her practice in the depths of the lake and wasteland.

At first, she helped him drive away a few evil birds, but she never thought that his ability to hide was so great. In the end, he had to rely on him to save himself from the lake and wasteland.

***************************

Three days later, Chen Xun and Su Tang walked out of the search circle surrounded by Baixi tribe and went deep into the lake and wasteland five hundred miles away from Xiling.

The people who could not be found in three or four days, Chen Xun thought that the Baixi tribe should also give up the idea of ​​killing people and robbing treasures.

However, going south through the lake and wasteland, the threats brought by ferocious birds and beasts even worse.

In the past, as long as Chen Xun was not a particularly powerful wild beast, he could still escape by terrain. Now he was carrying Su Tang on his back, so he had to be more cautious and delayed his speed even slower.

Su Tang's injuries did not relieve along the way.

Her soul and consciousness sea was shaken into pieces in the evil battle with the giant ape and was severely damaged; the mysterious orifice was silent, and no Taoist true yang could be produced.

The Tao cannot produce true yang. Even if Juyuan ointment is used to nourish qi and blood, Su Tang cannot completely resist the infiltration of extreme cold and mysterious energy, and the injury becomes more and more serious.

Su Tang would never complain to Chen Xun, who was two or three years younger than her, but looking at Su Tang's increasingly pale cheeks and his dry eyes, Chen Xun knew that her injuries were aggravating.

Fierce birds flew across the sky, and the speed of moving south could not be accelerated.

Chen Xun was also worried that after spring, the ice-covered snow fields on the wasteland would melt, and poisonous insects, snakes, dragons and other evil objects would emerge from the ice mud cave. He and Su Tang might even be trapped in some wilderness and could not go south.

Chen Xun looked up at the lonely peak in the distance, which was three or four thousand meters long, like a stone pillar that stood suddenly on the snowy land in the forest, extremely magnificent.

The primitive dense forest is like a huge carpet, hanging from the hillside of the big lonely peak, extending to the edge of the lake where Chen Xun stood, called the extremely thick ice-covered area.

In the past, Chen Xun would not have easily ventured into the dense forest and into the mountains to find spiritual medicine, but the remaining Juyuan ointment would not make Su Tang's injury worse.

For Su Tang's injury, he always had to take a chance.

"Don't go there, there are several ferocious beasts in the mountain. Even if you have Tianman's cultivation level, you may not be able to escape unscathed." Su Tang saw Chen Xun dig a snow cave and wanted to hide her in the snow cave and go up the mountain alone, pulling him, "Now if you go up the mountain and ask those ferocious beasts to hit you, there is no reason to survive."

"I'm not going to make a desperate attempt, there's no chance at all." Chen Xun said, asking Su Tang's nests of ferocious birds and beasts to tell him.

The stronger the ferocious beast, the stronger the concept of territory.

Since these ferocious beasts can be peaceful in a mountain, it is also a balance formed by years of fierce fighting, there will be enough buffer areas between their respective territories, and it will be much safer to walk from there.

Su Tang has never heard of Chen Xun's ideas, but when you think about it carefully, it makes sense.

Not only are the wild beasts like this, but also the powerful forces in the Western Wilderness. Isn’t the lake and wasteland north of Mangyaling and south of Xiling the buffer zone between the Su family and the Xuanhan Sect?

If she was within the Su family's sphere of influence, she would not be so embarrassed even if she was seriously injured; and if it accidentally fell into the hands of the Baixi tribe, even if the five Baixi masters did not dare to kill her and seize blood, they would probably offer her to Xuanhan Sect...

"Then I'll go with you." Su Tang said. If Chen Xun had any accidents, she would never walk out of the lake and wasteland alone.

Although her mysterious orifice is dry and silent, she cannot produce the true yang of Tao, and cannot resist the infiltration of the internal organs by the mysterious and cold energy, she has reached the peak of the middle stage of the fetal realm, and the spiritual orifices all over her body are mixed together. The strength of her physical body tempered by spiritual energy is actually slightly stronger than Chen Xun.

Otherwise, even if her last blow caused the evil ape to fly for more than ten miles and rely on the residual armor to remove most of the impact, she would not be able to escape the ending of her body shaking into pieces.

She did not start with the foundation building of martial arts, but after she entered the realm of returning to the fetus, she also had some knowledge of martial arts. As long as she controlled her injuries and did not worsen violently, she followed her up the mountain and would not be of use to encounter any accidents.

Chen Xun gave her the iron-tied giant bow and quiver pot and asked, "Why are you fighting with that evil ape in Xiling?"

He was always curious. With Su Tang's strength, it was not difficult to avoid the evil ape. What should he fight with the evil ape to death?

"The evil ape led dozens of snow apes from the ice field north of Xiling, and liked to eat human brains. There were several villages in Xiling along the way but they were not spared," Su Tang said, "I never thought I could kill it. I thought I could drive it back..."

Chen Xun remembered the more than a thousand broken skulls that he had seen in the nameless mountain when he first entered the lake and wasteland. His flesh and blood were all caused to be eaten by the wolf pack, and his heart was silent. Can he say that Su Tang was stupid?

But when Chen Xun heard that the giant ape led dozens of snow apes through Xiling, he was even more shocked. He never thought that the giant ape was not fighting alone.

The giant ape is already so powerful. Even though the dozens of snow apes are not as good as the giant apes, they are all wilderness aliens and their strength is not that bad.

How tragic would it be if the giant ape led dozens of evil apes who like to eat human brains into Python Ya Ridge?

Seeing that there was a worry in Chen Xun's eyes, Su Tang said:

"Don't worry, I didn't expect that the ancient bloodline in the evil ape would breed a trace of divine power, so I was careless and severely injured by it. But with the last blow, I also shook the divine power in its body. Maybe this evil ape had already been called to Baixi and Wuzun to clean up..."

"Canglan Miscellaneous Records" records that the Baixi tribes in Xiling and fought and killed endlessly. If the five strong men of the "Baixi Five Lords" were not part of the same tribe, it would be hard to imagine that they would join forces to deal with the evil ape.

Otherwise, if they stood up early and joined forces with Su Tang, wouldn’t the chance of winning be greater?

In the past few days, the five monks of Baixi have not personally gone out of Xiling to chase Su Tang. It is very likely that the five monks of Baixi have restrained each other and can only send the barbarians of the clan to do stealing things.

From this point of view, he still had to save Su Tang back to Canglan.

If the giant ape leads dozens of evil apes into Python Ya Ridge, he can only save Su Tang to call Su family Su even more without reason.

However, thinking that the giant ape was not fighting alone, which was beyond Chen Xun's expectations, I felt a little worried.

*********************************

The ferocious birds and beasts have their own nests. Su Tang passed by here last time and had already figured out the nests of the ferocious beasts in this strange and lonely peak. This provided great convenience for her and Chen Xun to enter the mountain at this time.

Some ferocious birds and beasts that are not cold-resistant have long gone south to avoid the cold current, and the poisonous insects, snakes and dragons are even more dormant in the mud holes and ice caps, and the dense forests seem particularly empty.

Chen Xun and Su Tang carefully climbed up the mountain, looking for spiritual medicine along the edge of the territory of the wild beasts in the mountains.

Except for the occasional cultivators passing by, who will enter and collect spiritual medicines and exotic herbs, this strange and lonely peak may not have lived in it for thousands of years.

After the spiritual medicine grows, it will emit spiritual medicine energy and lure nearby wild beasts to come over, but some very ordinary herbs in Linjian Valley grow particularly lush.

There are many herbs needed to refine Juyuan Paste, but they have grown to the level of condensing spiritual aggregates. Chen Xun thought to himself that if you have the chance next time, you will come and search for it carefully. He will mark this big lonely peak on the map immediately.

However, Su Tang's injuries were very serious. Ordinary herbs and even Juyuan ointment, which Chen Xun regarded as treasure medicine, could not relieve her injuries. Chen Xun could only climb with Su Tang on the mountainside.

When Su Tang saw Chen Xun and she went into the mountains to look for medicine, watching the water terrain from time to time, she was very organized, and when she hid in a cliff cave to rest, she couldn't help asking him: "Who did you learn from when you are looking for medicine? According to your ability to find medicine, you should be able to refine more advanced elixirs?"

Grandpa Zongtu also taught him all his strength, but after Chen Xun was familiar with the Western Wilderness Sutra and the Canglan Miscellaneous Records, he could identify less than forty or fifty kinds of herbs.

However, when it comes to the knowledge of finding medicine, Taoist Aoki said it more thoroughly in "The Remnant Explanation of the Daoyun".

Chen Xun knew that Su Tang had learned was a hundred times better than him, and there was no need to hide some things. He told her some of the experiences he had summarized in recent years, and showed her the "Repentance of Daoyun" from her arms.

"..." Su Tang was extremely talented since she was a child. Although "The Remnant Interpretation of Taoyuan" was written in barbarians, she could read it quickly. The book said that it was just the lowest way to build the foundation of martial arts. She never thought that Chen Xun, who was only thirteen or fourteen years old, could understand so many things from it. She asked in surprise, "This book does not talk about how to find medicine. Why did you understand the principle of finding medicine?"

Chen Xun said: "Grass and trees cannot move, but if they want to grow, they must grow in places where the spiritual energy of heaven and earth is abundant. The mysterious and cold air is Taoist spiritual energy, the moon and stars, the morning light, the sun shines, the clouds and rain are Taoist spiritual energy, the mountain wind and mist, the earth and the earth are cold and the sky are also Taoist spiritual energy, all of which are born from the sky traces and the earth flow and gather. The spiritual energy of heaven and earth is easier to grow, where is it easier to accumulate, and where is it more rich,

Although I can't directly sense it, the principle of "Tianhen terrain, Tao is full of heaven and heaven" should be connected. When it comes to Tianhen terrain, the south of the mountain is facing the sun, the north of the mountain is back, the stars are shining, the moon shining in the valley, the left side of the mountain is facing the wind, the right side of the mountain is frost, the water circles the mountain, and the cliffs stand on the ridges, they should be the common Tianhen terrain? My grandfather and I collected herbs in Mangyaling for four years. Which terrain is easier to generate spiritual medicine? It can be considered as finding some rules..."

Su Tang shook his head. Chen Xunzhi said these principles simply, but how many of the powerful people in the Su family who think of themselves as superior to all living beings can think so clearly?

Su Tang was stunned for a while before saying to Chen Xun: "You have such a high level of understanding, but you should not say some words to others..."

Grandpa Zongtu was also surprised by his high understanding, and Chen Xun smiled in his heart:
