Chapter 318 Xumi
Chapter 318 Xumi
Hundreds of monks have returned to Jiaye Temple one after another, and Master Kongming has decided not to send people to search in Xumi Mountain. Others want to go to Tianquan Mountain. Since the internal test of Xuantian Sect has ended, the leader Yunhe Taoist also took dozens of young disciples of Cangyun Sect and did not return to Cangyun, but went directly to Tianquan Mountain.
Yun Qiyou shook his head and said to Ning Xiangruo: "I still think there is something here that we have not searched, but since there are traces of Xuanying near Tianquan Mountain, you sisters should go with the monks of Jiaye Temple tonight. I will stay here for a few more days and then I will meet up with you."
Ning Xiangruo knew that Yun Qiyou was very stubborn. Once she set her mind on something, even eight thousand-mile horses could not pull her back. She was more stubborn than a donkey.
In her heart, she also felt that the insistence of the junior sister was a bit absurd. Hundreds of people searched for seven or eight days in the huge Xumi Mountain because of her feeling. It would be fine if they found some traces of needles and threads, but they turned Xumi Mountain upside down and found no trace of Xuanying and Ye Xiaochuan. Recently, it was reported that Xuanying might appear near Tianquan Mountain, three thousand miles away in the west.
In this case, Ning Xiangruo could only gather in the direction of Tianquan Mountain and track and search.
She glanced at Ning Xiangruo, sighed, and said: "Okay, junior sister, let's follow the monks of Jiaye Temple to Tianquan Mountain tonight. If you still don't have any clues here within three days, join us."
Yun Qiyou nodded slightly.
Baili Yuan said: "Since everyone has made a decision, let's set off without delay. We have wasted ten days in Xumi Mountain. Now if we delay one more day, Ye Xiaochuan's life will be more dangerous."
Everyone left, leaving only Yun Qiyou.
Yun Qiyou felt a wave of sadness in her heart. Why did everyone, including the senior sister who watched her grow up, not believe her words?
She thought that the connection between Wufeng and Zhanchen was correct. It was with that subtle connection that she found Hanyang City in the Yangtze River.
That feeling was not wrong, and this one would definitely not be wrong.
Standing in a primitive forest with few people in the mountains, Yun Qiyou looked up at the figures of several people flying away in the air and sighed softly.
It was late at night. I found a valley, cleared a large open space with fallen leaves, and built a bonfire in the open space.
There was a faint smell of rotting dead branches and leaves around, which was a common smell in primitive mountains and forests.
A branch was inserted into a hard cold steamed bun and roasted over the flames. Soon the surface of the white steamed bun was roasted to a scorch.
Yun Qiyou's ability to survive in the wild is obviously much higher than that of the equally famous Fairy Yu Fu. The steamed buns were baked to a golden shine, without any burnt appearance. It seems that she has baked cold steamed buns in the wild to eat during her years of training in the human world.
The weather tonight is a bit bad. Clouds are shrouding the top of Mount Xumi. The wind blowing from the valley mouth is gradually getting stronger, blowing the bonfire sparks everywhere.
In order to prevent the mountain fire from burning Mount Xumi, after baking the steamed buns, Yun Qiyou extinguished the bonfire with soil.
She sat on a dead tree trunk that had fallen for who knows how many years and ate the steamed buns one bite at a time, but she always felt that she had neglected something in her mind.
What is it?
In the past ten days, she felt that she almost brushed past Ye Xiaochuan several times, and it was only a matter of time to find Ye Xiaochuan, but her mind seemed to have overlooked an important clue at a critical time.
Hundreds of people have been searching for so many days without any clues. Yun Qiyou doesn't think she can find it alone. Even if Ye Xiaochuan is somewhere in Mount Xumi, it is like looking for a needle in a haystack for a person hidden in the mountains and forests within a radius of hundreds of miles.
"If we can't find him on the ground, what about starting from other aspects?"
Yun Qiyou suddenly had such a strange idea in her mind.
She didn't know why she had this strange idea.
At this moment, she suddenly looked up and looked at a peak in front of her.
"Mount Xumi!"
She suddenly stood up, and the half-eaten bun slipped silently from her fingers to her feet.
Of course, it was not the monks of the Jiaye Temple in Mount Xumi who kidnapped Ye Xiaochuan. Somewhere in Mount Xumi should be the old nest of Su Nu Xuan Ying for thousands of years. The existence of that secret nest may be much older than the existence of Jiaye Temple.
"Mount Xumi!"
She once again muttered these three words to herself.
This place is located in the heart of the Central Plains, to the north of Anqing Prefecture. There are only thirty-three peaks that pierce the sea of clouds in the mountains and forests within a radius of hundreds of miles. The rest are low hills and dense primitive jungles.
The thirty-three peaks stand out like a crane among chickens, very conspicuous, like peaks rising from the ground.
Some people say that this is the origin of Mount Xumi.
The seventeen tall and straight peaks form a sharp contrast with the countless low hills around them, like one big and one small.
At the same time, in Buddhist language, the Mount Xumi where the Buddha lives is said to be 84,000 feet high, and is guarded by thirty-three divine peaks around it.
The Mount Xumi in front of us has a hidden meaning with the Mount Xumi in Buddhist language, so many people think that this is the origin of the name of this mountain.
Mount Xumi has existed for too long, and the Jiaye Temple only appeared more than three thousand years ago. Before that, this mountain range has always been called Mount Xumi.
In the world of cultivation, there is another legend about this mountain.
The word "Xumeru" does not refer to the Mount Xumi where the Buddha lives in Buddhist language, but refers to the Sumeru mustard seed.
What is the Sumeru mustard seed?
There is a classic verse in Buddhist language: A grain of sand is a world, a flower is a heaven. The Buddha looked at a bowl of water and saw 48,000 insects.
The general meaning is that there are countless lives in a small drop of water.
This is similar to the Taoist concept of "the inner universe".
Just like the Qiankun bag hanging on Yun Qiyou's waist, it looks like an ordinary small bag, but the space inside is so large that it can fit a big house.
This Qiankun storage bag is made of the extremely rare Xumi hemp in the Ten Thousand Mountains of Southern Xinjiang.
The origin of this Mount Xumi may not be because of the thirty-three peaks, but a mysterious space here similar to the Sumeru mustard seed and the Qiankun storage bag.
This is Yun Qiyou's guess at the moment, and it is also a legend about the origin of Mount Xumi that has been passed down in the cultivation world for thousands of years.
Is it possible?
Yun Qiyou asked herself.
But then, she seemed to have thought of something and turned to look at the highest peak in the darkness.
That was the highest peak in the entire Xumi Mountain, nearly ten thousand feet high, and it was Guanzizai Peak.
