Marvel: I am the leader of the mutant race

Chapter 193 Chapter 193: Bamboo Sea

The ancient scroll floated slowly about two meters in front of Yuri and his party.

The opened light mask was like a huge bubble. Under its protection, the densely packed bamboo sea crowded around everyone seemed to be alive and sentient, and dispersed to both sides without waiting for them to approach.

"What an amazing way to use energy."

Yuri looked back at the sea of ​​bamboos that quickly closed together after passing by. He knew that if he were an ordinary person, without the guidance of the scroll, he would become a turtle in a urn if he strayed into this sea of ​​bamboos. Completely losing freedom and direction.

"If I admit my mistake correctly, this should be Qi Men Dun Jia."

Seeing that Yuri was interested, Xu Wenwu explained in detail: "Qimen Dunjia, as the name suggests, is composed of three concepts: "Qi", "Men", and "Dunjia" - "Qi" means B, C, and Ding. ; "Gate" means Xiu, Sheng, Shang, Du, Jing, Death, Jing, open the eight doors; "Dun" means hiding, "Jia" refers to Liujia, namely Jiazi, Jiaxu, Jiashen, Jiawu, Jiachen , Jiayin."

"Dun Jia" is the most noble among the ten stems. It hides but does not show up, hiding under the six rituals. The "six rituals" are Wu, Ji, Geng, Xin, Ren and Gui. The principle of hiding is that Jiazi is the same as Liu Yi. Wu, Jiaxu is the same as Liuji, Jiashen is the same as Liugeng, Jiawu is the same as Liuxin, Jiachen is the same as Liuren, Jiayin is the same as Liugui... In addition, it also cooperates with Peng, Ren, Chong, Fu, Ying, Rui, Zhu, Xin, Bird Nine Stars.”

"Can't understand."

Yuri frowned and understood for a long time, and finally shook his head helplessly and said truthfully: "There are too many professional terms in this. Without systematic study, even the most talented person will not be able to understand what each of these names represents." significance."

"Hahaha, you are right!"

Although Yuri was criticizing Qimen Dunjia for being incomprehensible, Xu Wenwu still smiled proudly. He sighed: "After all, it is a country that has existed since the emergence of human civilization. As we all know, the cultural tolerance there is Openness allows any other culture to learn from it, but in fact, when a culture starts to try to get something from it, it is always inevitable to assimilate itself into a part of it.”

"And by this time, there is basically no distinction between you and me between the two different cultures!"

Yuri nodded frequently when he heard this. This is why he chose Xu Wenwu among the 70 billion people on the earth: a person who has been nurtured in this cultural environment for thousands of years has actually become a member of this culture. A spiritual manifestation, with him, the human civilization on earth will move in the right direction.

"Can Qimen Dunjia make these bamboos move back and forth like this?"

Like Yuri, Vanax didn't understand what Xu Wenwu said about Qimen Dunjia, but this didn't affect her curiosity: "Look at the ground, the bamboo scratched it, and there was even a little bit of soil on it. The scum hasn’t even been turned over!”

Xu Wenwu met everyone's doubtful eyes, but this time he shook his head and said that he didn't know what was going on: "Yingli said that there are many magical creatures in Taluo Village, and they all have their own magical powers. Ability...perhaps, this bamboo is one of them?"

"Bamboo is fine."

Yuri stopped and stared at a slender bamboo not far away that had just made way for everyone. His eyes slowly moved down and finally settled on its roots: "When these bamboos are moving, not all of them are moving." The smooth displacement, it is easy to see through its shape changes, is that something is moving under the ground, and the movement of the entire bamboo is just driven by it."

"Is there something underground?"

Vanax raised her foot and stamped her foot curiously. She looked at Yuri and asked wisely: "What is it?"

"Dig it out and take a look. Will you find out soon?"

Kate also looked curious. Logically speaking, her perception could be said to be ridiculously strong, but with such perception, she still didn't notice anything before the bamboo began to move. Before Xu Wenwu could say anything, Kate directly summoned After taking out his symbiote reproductive suit, the pitch-black slime symbiote turned into a huge shovel in an instant, and under the control of the owner, it was fiercely buried at the bottom of a bamboo.

"Susususu..."

The moment the giant shovel was pulled out by Kate, the entire bamboo sea began to tremble slightly.

They moved quickly, trying to take away the bamboo shoveled out by Kate in this way, but Vannex's quick eyesight and quick hands took in the lump of soil at the root of the bamboo that was trying to escape in the chaos. Your own storage space.

The storage space was isolated from everything. The moment the lump of roots, soil, and some unknown object entered, the entire bamboo sea slowly became quiet. Yuri lowered his head and looked at the place where Kate had shoveled him just now. Shovel out a deep hole in the ground...

Sure enough, in just a blink of an eye, it returned to flatness again.

"These things can transmit information to each other that we can't detect."

Yuri stopped Vanax from taking things out of the storage space. He looked in all directions that were completely covered by the tall bamboo sea, pointed at the ancient scroll suspended in front of him and said, "They are intelligent. , but obviously not many, we advanced Tarot, and it won’t be too late to look after we get out of this bamboo sea.”

When the bamboo roots were shoveled out by Kate, the entire bamboo sea reacted in an instant. This shows that the invisible group of guys underground can sense each other's existence. They dragged the shoveled bamboo away, which shows that they have a certain They are intelligent, but as soon as Vanax takes away the bamboo roots, they instantly regain their tranquility. This shows that they cannot accurately perceive each other's status, or that they cannot detect the disappearance or existence of a certain kin at all.

Sure enough, the group of people walked through the sea of ​​bamboos under the leadership of the ancient scroll. Without a few people taking the initiative to cause trouble, the bamboos were like machines that were running on their own without consciousness under the control of some kind of program.

"We're out!"

The scene before and after leaving the Bamboo Sea is completely different: one second, there is an endless sea of ​​bamboo covering the sky and the sun in all directions, and the next second, there is a sun-drenched waterfall in front of you, and what shocked Yuri the most Yes, even with his perception, he didn't hear the sound like thousands of horses galloping before walking out of the bamboo sea.

"Qi Men Dun Jia disturbed my senses!"

Looking back, I saw that the entire bamboo sea had closed again. A breeze blew by, and the outer circle of bamboo rustled. Several slender bamboo leaves flew down, and landed swayingly on the edge of the gurgling stream formed by the waterfall. Above the clear water.

"Chief, can you take it out?"

Completely different from the others, Vanax had no idea at all about the picturesque scenery in front of her after walking out of the bamboo sea. She approached Yuri in a sly manner, looking like someone who had stolen something to dry in the house next door. A silly cat eager to share the joy with his owner. "Take it out and wash it with water."

Glancing at the bamboo sea behind him, Yuri directly asked Vanax to take out the bamboo roots. He didn't take them out because he was worried that the riot of bamboos would cause some changes in the Qimen Dunjia Formation, but now they are all out. , there is no need to worry so much.

After hearing this, Vanax ran to the stream, took out the bamboo roots from the storage space, and started washing them. Under the wash of the water, large chunks of soil peeled off from the bamboo roots. After a while, , a bamboo root ball the size of a baby's head, intertwined with countless bamboo roots, was exposed to everyone's sight.

"Chief, come here and take a look!"

After holding the bamboo root ball and observing it for a while, Vanax suddenly called Yuri over. She saw that she gently opened the tangled bamboo roots with her fingers. There was actually a piece of bamboo root that looked white and raw, like a big jelly. The same spherical object.

"what is this?"

Yuri had never seen this thing before. He took the bamboo root ball and curiously poked the big white jelly inside with his fingers. According to his perception, it was a mass of organic matter without consciousness and soul.

"This is... Tai Sui?"

Xu Wenwu also came over when Vanax greeted Yuri. He took the bamboo root ball handed to him by Yuri and looked at the big white jelly inside carefully. After a while, he was quite sure. Confirmed: "Yes, this thing is Tai Sui!"

A good subordinate would never let the boss ask questions. Without Yuri opening his mouth, Vanax asked curiously: "What is Tai Sui?"

"Scientists now generally believe that Tai Sui, also known as Ganoderma lucidum, looks like a meat ball, is elastic, lives in the soil, and has strong vitality. It is a very rare multi-bacterial complex in nature. This slime mold has active It is very strong, mainly relying on spores and mycelium to reproduce, and its regeneration ability is also very strong. It can be cut at will and it will regenerate."

"But the Tai Sui in front of us..."

Xu Wenwu bent his fingers and flicked the big white jelly in the bamboo root ball, and circles of wave-like lines rippled out: "It is obviously something that scientists have never seen before. of a variety.”

"This is not an ordinary Tai Sui, this is the legendary Tai Sui!"

As a veritable ancient man, Xu Wenwu has listened to countless myths and legends since he was a child. Now when he tells it to Yuri and others, he is very excited: "According to legend, when the heaven and earth were first settled, a group of Tai Sui was quietly born from the ground. , under the erosion of the years, this Tai Sui continued to absorb the essence of the sun and the moon, and finally spiritual wisdom was born."

"This Tai Sui saw that everything in the world has a name, so he also wanted to give himself a name. He thought that he was born from the earth and could walk anywhere on the earth, so he gave himself the two names of Earth Elements. Later, after studying under him, his master added the word 'Sun' to the end of his name because he was afraid of leaving Sun, so his full name became - Tu Xingsun."

"According to legend, this earth-walking grandson was short in stature, no more than four feet tall, with an earth-colored face. However, he was highly capable and agile. He used iron rods as weapons and used earth-moving skills, that is, earth-escape skills, to dominate the gods. During the Great Catastrophe of Conferring Gods, You can see his shadow in many places.”

Under everyone's puzzled gaze, Xu Wenwu directly tore off a piece of the big white jelly in the bamboo root ball: "If you want to verify whether this guy is really Tai Sui, the method is very simple: when Tai Sui is buried, he will It disappears in an instant, so I just need to gently place this piece of Tai Sui meat on the ground..."

In full view of everyone, the moment Xu Wenwu let go, the piece of Tai Sui meat in contact with the soil disappeared out of thin air!
"Hey! It's really missing!"

Vanax covered his hands with the symbiotic reproductive suit, and then quickly dug at the place where the Tai Sui meat disappeared. However, the digging range expanded to half a meter deep. Not to mention finding the piece of Tai Sui meat. Not a single trace of the other party's movements underground could be seen.

"The secret realm of Tarot is really amazing."

Yuri looked back at the boundless sea of ​​bamboo. Under every bamboo here there was probably a Tai Sui wrapped in a bamboo root ball.

In front of Xu Xialing, it was not easy for him to directly reveal his true form as a mutant to try to absorb Tai Sui's magical ability to escape from the earth, so he had to ask Vanax to put away the bamboo root ball containing Tai Sui again, and wait until he found an opportunity. Then do some good research.

Over there, Xu Xialing was still trying to catch small fish and shrimps in the stream. Although she was making a loud noise, judging from the disappointed expression on her face, she probably had no harvest.

"Stop playing! Prepare to enter the secret realm!"

Yuri called Xu Xialing over, and Xu Wenwu hugged her and very carefully dried her trouser legs and shoes that were soaked by the stream with ten rings of energy. Several people followed the stream, led by the ancient scroll. Walked straight towards the rushing waterfall.

This is the gateway to the secret realm of Tarot.

The shield inspired by the scroll not only prevented the Bamboo Sea from attacking the people inside, but also protected everyone from the impact of the waterfall. They slowly passed through the waterfall, and the moment their vision became clear, they only saw a stream of Extremely unreal came into view.

The water splashes stirred up by the reaction force were frozen in mid-air. The waterfall was clearly behind you, but the deafening sound just now disappeared in an instant...

"This is the connection between the secret realm of Tarot and the real world."

As Yuri walked forward unhurriedly, he explained to the timid Xu Wenwu and the timid Xu Xialing in his arms: "Not far ahead, there may be a place where you guys can stay." Guys who are not familiar with space jumps may experience physical discomforts such as dizziness and nausea. Don’t be afraid, these are normal reactions.”

As soon as the words fell, a strong suction force came from in front of the people without any warning. While everyone staggered forward, they discovered that the water spray on the road was moving in the opposite direction as if it was being acted upon by the opposite force. Their direction accelerated.

Before anyone could ask why, the attraction that appeared without warning suddenly disappeared without warning. In this way, it was like a rope that had been holding you suddenly broke. Fortunately, One by one, each of the people here is a powerful warrior with superhuman skills. They quickly stabilized their bodies and clearly realized that they had probably successfully entered the Tarot Secret Realm.
