Volume 4 Peach Blossom Chapter 16 Three Thousand Mountains
"Yiyaya!" The little deer made a cry towards the Lord of Qingqiu Mountain that seemed ferocious but was actually timid.
"Stay by my side for the time being, and don't even think about going out to look for Mimi by yourself." The Qingqiu Mountain Lord said fiercely, "If you don't find Mimi, you might get into trouble too!"
The little deer stopped talking, but the mist in its big eyes was getting thicker and thicker.
"Mountain Master, what happened?" Seeing this, Lu Qingshan vaguely understood the general situation, "Perhaps I can help a little?"
Being interrupted by Lu Qingshan, the Lord of Qingqiu Mountain was stunned. He looked at Lu Qingshan for a while, as if he was awakened by Lu Qingshan.
It seems that this is indeed a solution in the current situation?
The Qingqiu Mountain Master thought about it and didn't hide it anymore. He pointed at the little deer Yaoyao and asked Lu Qingshan: "Do you know Yaoyao's origin?"
Lu Qingshan shook his head.
There are too many monsters in the Nine Heavens, how can he recognize them all?
"Yaoyao is the descendant of an ancient spiritual beast named Chenghuang, and it has a younger brother named Mimi." said the Lord of Qingqiu Mountain.
Lu Qingshan was shocked. Although he found the little deer extremely magical, he did not expect that Yaoyao was not a monster but an ancient spiritual beast with noble bloodline.
The Qingqiu Mountain Lord's voice revealed a bit of sadness as he narrated, "A few years ago, their mother entered Qingqiu with them in her arms and wounds all over her body. I don't know what happened to their mother, but her injuries were so severe that even I couldn't save her. According to common sense, she should have died on the road with such serious injuries. But I don't know where the strength came from, allowing her to hold on to her last breath until she entered Qingqiu and gave birth to Yaoyao and Mimi at my feet."
"After giving birth to Yaoyao and Mimi, she was already dying. She didn't have time to tell me in detail what happened to her. She just begged me to take good care of Yaoyao and Mimi for her. "
Lu Qingshan was silent.
The Lord of Qingqiu Mountain might not be able to understand the power that kept Yaoyao's mother alive for so long, but it is easy for humans to empathize with her.
Because its name is maternal love.
No wonder a big plant demon and a little deer have such a good relationship. It turns out there is such a story.
Most of the great plant monsters are kind and honest. It is lucky for Yaoyao's mother to meet the Lord of Qingqiu Mountain when her life is hanging by a thread.
"Cheng Huang controls lightning and vitality. Since the two siblings are young, they have only temporarily awakened a part of Cheng Huang's abilities. Yaoyao awakened Cheng Huang's lightning power, and Mimi awakened Cheng Huang's vitality and healing ability."
The Qingqiu Mountain Master sighed and continued, “They all have extraordinary abilities, but they are still young and cannot exert much power.
But for them who possess such noble bloodline, they will become stronger and stronger as they grow older.
"With me guarding them, it will be enough for them to grow. In Qingqiu, I am invincible." The Lord of Qingqiu Mountain said confidently.
“But Mimi is extremely playful and likes to run around and explore all day long. Plus, it hasn’t awakened any attack or life-saving abilities, so I told it repeatedly that it can run around but must not leave Qingqiu, and I also asked Yaoyao to keep an eye on it.” Speaking of Mimi, the Lord of Qingqiu Mountain also had a headache.
With a sigh, the Qingqiu Mountain Master said, "As long as there is any danger in Qingqiu, I will be able to rescue you in the first place."
"Who would have thought that this little fellow would be so disobedient, sneaking out of Qingqiu when Yaoyao fell into a deep sleep due to the awakening of her bloodline. It's also my fault. My original body is grass and wood, and I have a long lifespan. I have never had any concept of time. I was distracted for a few decades, so I didn't notice Mimi's little move. It wasn't until Yaoyao woke up yesterday that I realized Mimi had disappeared, but it's been so long that we don't even know how long Mimi has been gone."
After all, this is the first time that the Lord of Qingqiu Mountain has taken care of a child, so it is inevitable that he will be negligent.
Lu Qingshan thought so.
“Similarly, as you can see, my true form is this peach tree, a plant that has become a spirit. My roots have long penetrated deep into Qingqiu Mountain, becoming one with it. Therefore, I simply cannot leave Qingqiu,” explained the Lord of Qingqiu Mountain.
After a pause, the Qingqiu Mountain Master said worriedly: "I can't leave Qingqiu. Yaoyao wants to find Mimi by herself, but with its limited ability, how can I let it leave Qingqiu without worry?"
"It's very dangerous outside."
Lu Qingshan nodded, understanding it in his heart.
After discovering that the vegetation here was so lush and learning that he was still in a desolate place, Lu Qingshan had already determined where he was at the moment.
Three thousand mountains.
Liu Yu once told him that the Desolate Land was mainly divided into two areas, one of which was the barren land where the Void Demon was hiding.
The other one is called Three Thousand Mountains.
The Three Thousand Mountains are also known as the paradise for monsters and beasts.
Three thousand is just a figurative word, and it is unknown how many mountains there are exactly.
The environment inside the Three Thousand Mountains is extremely dangerous. Not only are there rampant monsters, but there are also numerous miasma traps.
Not to mention ordinary people, even cultivators may die here. The degree of danger is self-evident, so no one has been able to fully explore it.
Moreover, a long time ago, when the desolate land had not yet suffered a great disaster, there was a very prosperous human race here.
Their practice school is unique and separate, and they are called witch practitioners.
The main approach is physical cultivation, but it also includes strange methods such as poison techniques and poisonous insects.
In the eyes of most cultivators, poison techniques are considered a minor art that is not worth mentioning. However, that does not mean that poison techniques are not powerful. It can only be said that the level of poison studied by those cultivators who practice poison techniques is too low.
The witch's poison technique is hard to guard against, and its toxicity is so strong that even Nascent Soul cultivators cannot ignore it.
Therefore, compared with the cultivators of other schools, the witch cultivators are not only not weak, but are even slightly better, and therefore they are also very popular.
However, it is unknown what happened in the desolate land later, and what secrets were involved that caused the witch cultivators to be lost in the long river of history.
However, according to some cultivators who had gone deep into the Three Thousand Mountains, the Wu Xiu lineage was not completely extinct, and in the depths of the Three Thousand Mountains, there were still tribes of Wu Xiu gathering, and they had seen the Wu Xiu villages with their own eyes.
Of course, most people scoffed at this news - how could a human tribe survive in such a dangerous place.
After Lu Qingshan turned the news about the Three Thousand Mountains and the witch cultivators over in his mind, there was no hesitation on his face.
Although this place is rumored to be extremely dangerous, with his current level of cultivation, it should not be so difficult to move forward.
Moreover, if he wanted to leave this place, he had no choice but to cross the Three Thousand Mountains.
Of course, the most important thing is that the Lord of Qingqiu Mountain saved his life. If he doesn’t repay the favor, he will not be able to express his gratitude.
