Chapter 75: Ambush (Part 1)
The high-pitched and miserable sound of suona rang out, accompanied by the sound of cymbals. A man and a dog played funeral music in front of the big earth pit. After that, they filled the pit with soil and erected a tombstone in front of the grave. On it was engraved the vigorous and powerful words: "Erected by the mourners themselves".
"I say, this is a medicinal garden opened up by an ancient great man. It is sacred and inviolable. How can you build a tomb here? Isn't it inappropriate?" Little Black Stone whispered.
Gu Chi brought his big black dog and scattered large pieces of yellow paper on the earthen grave. He said nonchalantly, "People have already killed and robbed here. Why should we be violating any taboo by building a grave for our deceased Taoist friend?"
The big black dog nodded repeatedly and said, "We are doing good deeds, which will bring us merit!"
Half an hour later, they found eight spiritual herbs in the outer area of the Divine Garden and dug them out along with their roots and soil, intact.
"I can take it back and use the [Root of Tao] to nurture and plant it." Gu Chi thought.
At this time, the battle in the Divine Garden had long ended. The people who came before had either left or continued to explore deeper into the Divine Garden. Apart from Gu Chi and the others, no one could be seen in the outer area, and it was relatively peaceful.
"Can you find the location of the magical flower?" Gu Chi looked at the small black stone. This ancient medicinal garden covers a large area. If they just search without any direction, who knows when they will find the whereabouts of the magical flower.
Little Black Stone said, "It won't stay in one place for too long. Its location is not fixed. I don't know where it is now, but we can ask someone. I know a lot of people here."
In the Divine Garden, there are many plants whose spiritual intelligence has been awakened because of the pollen of the Spiritual Flower, but these plants have not encountered the Spiritual Flower for a long time and cannot provide any useful information. However, they accidentally got a clue about the Mysterious Ice Flower.
"A few hundred meters ahead, there's a stone cliff with four or five black ice flowers. I wonder if anyone has discovered them. You can go over and take a look."
This is a green vine, which also gained intelligence due to the pollen of the spiritual flower. It has a good relationship with the little black stone and twisted its body to point them in a direction.
After expressing his thanks, Gu Chi took the lead and walked forward. After walking about three or four hundred meters, he indeed saw a straight stone cliff.
This stone cliff is not high, only about 100 meters high. On a steep cliff, there are six magical herbs growing, which are light blue in color and as crystal clear as ice jade. They are the black ice flowers.
This location is relatively remote and no one has explored it yet, which gives Gu Chi and his team an advantage.
Gu Chi spat on his palm to increase the friction, and then climbed up the steep cliff.
She used her hands and feet, and was very agile and nimble. In just an incense stick of time, she reached the location where the black ice flower was and picked it carefully.
There are a total of six strains, plus the four strains obtained earlier, which should be enough for them to try and error.
"buzz"
Auspicious light burst out, and Gu Chi untied the special storage bag hanging around his waist, put the six black ice flowers into it, then turned over and jumped down, raising a cloud of dust when he landed.
"Hey, Lao Hei, retreat quickly!"
Gu Chi shook the storage bag in his hand, and no longer thought about looking for the whereabouts of the spiritual flower. He was about to run away with the big black dog.
As she was about to leave the Hundred Medicinal Herbs Garden, she stopped and said to Little Black Stone, "Do you want to come with us? I mean, leave the Beiyin Mountain Secret Realm with us."
She didn't want to force him, so she decided to ask him what he wanted.
When she asked this, Xiao Heishi immediately fell into hesitation.
To be honest, it really wants to see the outside world, but after living in Shenyuan for so many years, it still feels a little reluctant to leave.
"Forget it, I'd better stay here. Although my realm cannot be improved, I can still be free and easy." Xiao Heishi said. In fact, he still felt that this man and dog were not good people who would keep quiet. If he followed them out, he would probably have to share the hatred value with them.
"Okay, if you have a chance to go outside in the future, tell me your name and I guarantee no one will dare to touch you."
Gu Chi said half-jokingly, without forcing it, and jumped onto the Cuoyuqie with the big black dog, turning into a long rainbow and disappearing in an instant.
"The problem is you haven't told me your name yet!" Little Black Stone shouted.
"Gu Qing." Gu Chi's voice came from far away.
"Gu Qing..." Xiao Heishi murmured, silently memorizing the name in his heart. If he goes to the outside world in the future, he must not mention this name to anyone!
……
A long golden rainbow streaked across the sky. Gu Chi, driving the Cuo Yuqie, took the big black dog and galloped all the way to the outer area of the Beiyin Mountain Secret Realm.
"Now there are only a few months left before Beiyin Mountain is closed. We just need to find a hidden spot in the outer area to hide and wait for the portal to reopen." Gu Chi said.
They have already gathered all the medicinal ingredients needed to refine the Foundation Establishment Pill, so there is no need to take any more risks and compete with others for other opportunities.
After all, they have made enough enemies since the first day they entered the secret realm of Beiyin Mountain.
Lingxi Sect and Xiangwang Mansion, one is an ancient sect with a foundation that is not inferior to the ten major immortal sects, and the other is the government office of a prince of the dynasty. Both are powerful forces that can stir up great waves. There may be strong people above the foundation building level, which they cannot contend with at all.
"It's a pity that we still failed to eliminate Jiang Xinli, the great threat to us." Gu Chi whispered.
But on second thought, they did not reveal their true identities. Except for their fellow disciples, most of the people who knew that they were practicing in Heming Sect had been killed by them.
Once they reach the outside world, it will be like a fish entering the ocean. Even if Jiang Xinli's deduction skills are superb, it will be difficult for him to deduce their location.
"No! Jiang Xinli knows that we are practicing in Heming Sect!"
Gu Chi suddenly remembered this. At the Treasure Cliff, it was Jiang Xinli who deduced her relationship with the Heming Sect, which led to the ambush of Le Huaxin and other fellow disciples.
"She is the source of all dangers. If we can't get rid of her completely, it will be useless even if we silence as many mouths as possible." Gu Chi frowned, and his previous confidence disappeared in an instant.
"Lao Hei, we definitely can't go back to Heming Sect. As long as Jiang Xinli is not eliminated, we will be walking into a trap if we go back." For the first time, Gu Chi felt what it was like to want to kill someone but not be able to.
The same is true for the big black dog. The feeling of having a sword hanging over one's heart is really uncomfortable.
If he wanted to avoid danger, he could just not return to Heming Sect, but Gu Chi didn't like the feeling of being passive, so he decided to find a place to hide near the exit and see if he could set up an ambush.
