Chapter 149
"The implication is that you don't need my help..."
Rumble....
The heavy checkpoint door slammed shut, shutting out the yellow sand in the sky and the old man walking away alone.
But in the warrior corner next to the city wall, a vague figure appeared. This was a middle-aged man with big and energetic eyes, a vertical line quietly cracked between his eyebrows, and he was staring in the direction of the distant tree.
Chapter 177 The Origin of Wu Sheng Sheng Rhino Art (5k
The setting sun was like blood, the clouds against it looked like they were stained with blood, and half of the sky was red.
At the foot of the low earth mountain, the land was dry and cracked, with light yellow weeds growing sparsely. A wrinkled old man walked alone carrying a large luggage half as tall as a man. The hot wind blew yellow sand.
"Many years after the Alien War, many people from the court and the people went deep into the desert to search for the ruins of the Anxi City, but they found nothing, so there was a legend that the sand city was completely wiped out by the immortals."
"According to what Daozhen said, the city was not wiped out by the great immortal cultivator, but was covered by the illusion array, which cannot be seen through by ordinary people's naked eyes..."
Qiao Mu took out a map from the package and glanced at it briefly.
This map, including the dry food in his luggage, were all gifts from the female general of Anxi Pass.
Over the years, although the Great Yan court did not find any survivors in this desert, they also left a map.
Except for the part covered by the illusion formation in the desert, the rest of the area has already been explored by the Great Yan Imperial Court.
"The coverage area of the Immortal Gate Formation is the core area of this hundred-mile desert..."
"As long as we find the formation and use the boundary-breaking talisman left by Daozhen, we should be able to avoid the influence of the illusion of the Immortal Gate Formation and find the city located in this hundred-mile desert."
Qiao Mu thought this, but suddenly his heart moved and he raised his eyes and looked forward.
I saw white shadows suddenly passing by on the mound in front of me. They seemed to be a group of soldiers holding spears and wearing armor?
"Did you find the remnant so quickly?"
With a thought in his mind, Qiao Mu quickened his pace and ran up the mound in three or two steps. He climbed to the top and looked again.
At this look, he felt a chill in his heart.
The white shadows looked like they were soldiers wearing armor, and there were probably hundreds of them in total.
According to common sense, it is impossible for such a large-scale army to march silently in the desert.
But this legion was very quiet, no one chatted, they just marched silently, and even the footsteps were very quiet.
Qiao Mu's pupils shrank, and when he looked closely, he saw that the faces of these armored soldiers were as pale as paper and expressionless.
If it weren't for the sunset, it would look more like a hundred ghosts walking at night.
Qiao Mu frowned, curious.
He was also a man who was not afraid of anything, so he immediately followed him quietly.
The light skill he practices is the latent shadow step that is good at sneaking into hiding. Although there are not many shelters in this desert, his light skill has been perfected and can be said to be able to walk on the snow without leaving a trace.
Every time he raised his body, he swept across the desert like a big eagle, leaving only a shallow footprint, which was almost impossible to detect without looking closely.
Just when Qiao Mu thought he could follow this silent army, a sudden change occurred.
This legion with faces as white as paper, starting from the soldiers at the front of the team, from front to back, disappeared into the air bit by bit.
A legion of hundreds of people just disappeared in front of Qiao Mu.
Qiao Mu stopped where he was, looked down at the ground, and suddenly frowned.
His Qing Gong has been perfected and has reached the state where he can step on the snow without leaving any trace, so he leaves almost no footprints.
But the strange thing is that the legion of hundreds of people in front did not leave any footprints.
It’s impossible for these hundreds of people to have Qinggong skills comparable to Qiao Mu, right?
"I have been practicing Qinggong for decades and have worked so hard to reach a perfect level. How could I be caught up by hundreds of soldiers all of a sudden?" Qiao Mu was immediately dissatisfied.
"So they shouldn't be human. Is this the rumored Yin soldiers crossing the border?"
Qiao Mu burst out laughing when he thought of this.
Although he still didn't know what the so-called Yin soldiers were, the disappearance of the Yin soldiers reminded him of the Immortal Illusion Formation mentioned by Daozhen.
"It seems it's time to try the so-called boundary-breaking talisman." Qiao Mu thought to himself.
Talisman is originally a tool for immortal cultivators, but the boundary-breaking talisman that Daozhen gave him seems to be specially made. It does not require the magic power of an immortal cultivator and can be activated simply by the blood and essence of a mortal warrior.
Qiao Mu bit the tip of his tongue and sprayed a mouthful of blood on the talisman paper. Immediately, the talisman paper emitted a faint golden light and slowly spontaneously ignited.
At the same time, Qiao Mu's field of vision seemed to be slightly distorted. About a hundred meters away, the Yin Soldier Army appeared in his field of vision again.
But Qiao Mu didn't catch up immediately.
Instead, he leaned forward slightly, lowered his head and grabbed a piece of yellow sand. His inner energy was surging in his body, and then he turned around like lightning and looked in a direction behind him.
Every grain of yellow sand contains surging power, like projectiles flying through the air.
But after hearing a cry of pain in the distance behind him, a middle-aged man walked out from behind a mound with a wry smile on his face and said:
"My father, have mercy on me!"
This middle-aged man's appearance is not ordinary, with a pair of big and lively eyes. The most special thing is that there is even a horizontal crack between the eyebrows, which is an eye growing sideways.
The moment Qiao Mu took out the boundary-breaking talisman from his arms, he noticed a slightly disordered aura in the darkness behind him, and then realized that there was a pursuer hidden behind him.
It's just that although this person is good at sneaking, his strength doesn't seem to be amazing. He was forced out by Qiao Mu with a handful of yellow sand.
"Who are you? Did the veteran from Xi'an Pass send you to follow? Or was it Mr. Hai before?" Qiao Mu looked sharply and kicked the three-eyed middle-aged man to the ground.
The more he looked, the more he felt that this person looked familiar. After thinking about it carefully, it seemed that he had seen this person sitting at the same table with Mr. Na Hai before when he rested at the inn outside Xi'an Pass.
"I have something to say, but please pay more attention to the boundary-breaking talisman in your hand." The middle-aged man with three eyes said with a bitter smile:
"This boundary-breaking talisman should come from the nine great immortal sects, right?"
"Once this thing is burned out and we haven't found that lonely city in the desert, I'm afraid there will be no chance again."
"If I have any questions, I will tell you everything."
"But before that, I hope you don't waste the time of the boundary-breaking talisman."
The middle-aged man stared at the boundary-breaking talisman with three eyes, seeming to feel quite hurt.
"Then let's talk as we walk." Qiao Mu captured the middle-aged man with one hand, held up the slow-burning boundary-breaking talisman with the other hand, and walked far behind the army of Yin soldiers.
"Tell me first, who are you? Why are you here? What the hell are those eyes on your forehead?" Qiao Mu asked.
"Don't worry, old man." The middle-aged man said softly:
"Have you ever heard that there are two people with clairvoyance and ears in Tingchao Tower? They are both talented and leading storytellers."
"This so-called 'clairvoyance' is even more extraordinary. It is obtained from the eyes between the eyebrows of the monster three-eyed ape..."
"If this third eye is mature, it is said that it can see thousands of miles away and see the truth through illusion..."
"And I am the 'clairvoyant' in Tingchao Tower."
After being captured by Qiao Mu, the middle-aged man was quite calm and immediately pointed out his background in Tingchao Tower and the origin of his eyebrows and eyes.
These words are actually self-declaration of identity, showing one's own worth, so as not to be killed.
And these words were indeed useful, Qiao Mu's grip on him relaxed a little.
Tingchao Tower has a far-reaching reputation, and is known for having many eyes and ears, and having intelligence all over the world. A living storyteller is naturally worth much more than a dead one.
"And my purpose of entering this hundred-mile desert should be the same as my husband's, which is to find the ruins of Anxi City."
When the middle-aged man said this, all three eyes showed sadness and almost shed tears.
"Actually, I also have relatives who died in this desert----"
"Stop it, I don't have time to listen to your nonsense." Qiao Mu waved his hand impatiently, thought for a moment, and then understood:
"You want to follow me and find that city?"
"Yeah..." The middle-aged man nodded like a fool.
He originally just wanted to follow Qiao Mu secretly, but he was surprised when he suddenly saw him taking out the boundary-breaking talisman, and Qiao Mu noticed his presence.
Qiao Mu glanced at the boundary-breaking talisman in his hand and nodded slightly:
"If you want to follow, it's not impossible, but since you want to take this ride, you have to show something, right?"
The clairvoyant understood the situation and immediately smiled.
He was not afraid that Qiao Mu would ask for benefits from him, but he was afraid that this person would be an incompetent murderer.
"How about "Violent Blood Technique"?" Clairvoyant said with a smile:
"Mr. Qiao must have seen Mr. Na Hai perform violent blood technique with his own eyes. This technique is a self-destructive forbidden martial arts technique that can temporarily enhance vision and reaction speed..."
"And it can also be used in conjunction with the Qiao family's demon disintegration."
Qiao Mu blinked.
As a storyteller in Tingchao Tower, he was not surprised to hear about the reputation of the Qiao family.
But what is the Qiao family’s disintegration of heavenly demons... Has the disintegration of heavenly demons really become the Qiao family’s signature martial arts?
However, for this self-destructive martial arts secret, the more Qiao Mu, the better.
Now, in addition to the disintegration of the demon, he also has a red moon blood-burning technique that he learned from paintings.
When he first understood the Blood Moon Diagram, he had also imagined it.
If he takes the disintegration of the demon as the basis, draws on the strengths of hundreds of schools of thought, and masters many explosive and self-destructive forbidden techniques, then maybe one day in the future, he can achieve the literal disintegration of the demon.
That is to say, the body will be disintegrated directly after use, and even the destruction of the corpse and traces will be omitted.
"Good, but not good enough." Qiao Mu still felt unsatisfied after listening to the secret manual dictated by the clairvoyant.
More, the more the better!
Anyway, he is not afraid of biting off more than he can chew, the more, the better.
Just the clairvoyant smiled slightly.
He didn't carry any martial arts secrets with him. He could still recite short secrets like "Blood Technique". Now that Qiao Mu was greedy, how could he be satisfied?
"I really can't recite other martial arts secrets..." The clairvoyant smiled bitterly:
"Mr. Qiao, why don't I trade a big secret for you?"
He glanced at the boundary-breaking talisman in Qiao Mu's hand, thinking that by the time he finished telling the secret, the boundary-breaking talisman would be almost burned out.
Regardless of whether he can find the ruins of the isolated city or not, Qiao Mu will no longer bother questioning him.
"This secret is extraordinary. It has something to do with the Martial Saint from forty years ago and Madam Bai who guarded the Anxi Pass." The clairvoyant looked mysterious.
"What? They were a couple forty years ago? If you are talking about the secret of this kind of love between men and women, then I am not interested." Qiao Mu said casually.
His clairvoyance stagnated, his face became very strange, and he spoke after a long while:
"Mr. Qiao thinks too much. The secret I want to tell you is certainly not trivial."
He solemnly said:
"Now everyone knows that the martial saint was known as a saint by martial arts. Before his death, he was already the most powerful person in martial arts."
"And the foundation of him, the strongest martial artist, is actually the so-called "Martial Spirit Rhinoceros Technique"!"
"Ever since Wu Shengren revealed his identity in Nanzhou, the world has known that it was Wu Shengren who devoured the top ten martial artists in the world, relying on that Wu Shengren's miraculous skill "Martial Holy Spirit Rhinoceros"."
"But the world only knows one but not the other. Although the "Martial Holy Spirit Rhinoceros Technique" was created by the Martial Saint, it was born out of another miraculous skill..."
"It's called "Lingxi Jue", and it's exactly the technique practiced by Mrs. Bai who guards Xi'an Pass."
Qiao Mu was slightly startled.
If so, it would make sense.
Madam Bai is also within Qiao Mu's intuition, but she is different from other practitioners of "Martial Spirit Rhinoceros".
But in this case, when he caught Mrs. Bai and asked her if she had practiced "Martial Spirit Rhinoceros", wasn't he just catching his father and asking his son?
"Then this "Lingxi Jue" is a unique skill from which famous sect?" Qiao Mu asked.
Judging from Wu Shengren's past behavior, he guessed that this "Lingxi Jue" might have been stolen.
"The person who created "Lingxi Jue" was created by Li Changge, one of the lieutenants under the command of Saint Wu when he was a general in the past." Clairvoyant said:
