Chapter 25: Lingyue Lake
Lingyue Lake is about four thousand miles away from the Luoyun Sect, and it takes three or four days to travel by the foot of a few people. Ximen Hammer and Wang Ye are both in the late stage of Tongmai, and the two of them went out to take over the task of the sect, which is also an opportunity to seek that breakthrough.
The Luoyun Sect was close to the Luoyun Mountain Range, and at the foot of the mountain there was a group of mortal market towns that could not cultivate, and most of these people were miscellaneous disciples of the Luoyun Sect. Because he couldn't enter the inner gate, he had to go down the mountain and live a mortal life, marry a wife and have children. Although the market town is small, it is also lively and full of life.
Li Shengtian hadn't seen such a lively scene for a long time, and at the foot of the mountain, he curiously looked at the life scenes of the residents here, which was not much different from the earth world. In the morning, the street is filled with the aroma of all kinds of food, porridge shops, desserts, and fried foods that make several people swallow.
Wang Ye patted his stomach and proposed, "Senior brothers, we don't seem to have breakfast! The food here is good, I haven't gone down the mountain for a long time to eat breakfast, why don't you try it?"
Several other people had this intention, so they found a breakfast stall, ordered a few baskets of fresh vegetable bags, asked for rice porridge and pickles, and ate them with relish.
There are three kinds of coins circulating here, namely copper, silver and gold coins, one gold coin is worth 100 copper coins and 10 silver coins. When Li Shengtian first came to this world, he didn't have these belongings on him, he knew that cultivators could use spirit stones as a trade, but in this worldly world, they couldn't pay with spirit stones.
Fortunately, the other three had already prepared, Wang Ye took out two silver coins from his sleeve to pay for the meal, and only then did the others get up and leave.
The sun was already shining on the earth, the distant mountains were covered with a layer of gold, and the weather was exceptionally bright, Li Shengtian's mood seemed to be relaxed all of a sudden, and a smile appeared on his face inadvertently.
In the first two days, a few people didn't encounter any trouble, because they hadn't reached the depths of the mountain range, they didn't encounter any demon beasts at all, but they saw a group of wild boars, wild sheep and other animals on the way.
Three days later, they had traveled more than 3,000 miles, and it was nearly dusk, and it was time to find a place to rest at night. Although it is still thousands of miles away from the depths of the Luoyun Mountain Range, after all, it has entered the mountains, and poisonous snakes and beasts are infested at night, so it is always right to be careful.
Looking around, Li Shengtian found that there seemed to be a black hole under a boulder not far away, so he beckoned Wen Jin and the others to walk there.
Sure enough, it was a stone cave more than half a person high, and the side was covered with artemisia grass, Li Shengtian took out the fire fold and lit the torch, bent down and walked into the cave, and by the light of the fire, the scene in the cave came into view.
The stone cave is not large, about five square meters, and there is a pile of burned fire embers in the center, and a thick layer of hay is spread around it, which is obviously a trace left by man.
"Senior Brother Li, this is a good place, there is no need to spend the night outside tonight. Wen Jin said happily.
"Senior Brother Wen is right, this stone cave is enough for the four of us to make do with it all night. However, this pile of ashes has obviously just been extinguished, indicating that the people before have just left this morning at the earliest, but I don't know who left it, could it be that they will also go to Lingyue Lake to pick water lingzhi like us?" Li Shengtian guessed in his heart.
"Hehe, what the junior brother said is also possible, but although Lingyue Lake is rich in water Lingzhi, it is not so easy to find and get, each water Lingzhi is guarded by demon beasts, and people who do not have real skills will be difficult to gain, and they will lose their lives if they don't do it. Wen Jin said with a serious face.
At night, a blazing bonfire was lit at the entrance of the cave, and several people took turns keeping vigil, and they got the most adequate rest in a few days in the warm stone cave.
There was no word for a night, and the next day, everyone was in good spirits and continued to move towards the northeast of the mountain range, if nothing else, they could reach Lingyue Lake today.
Several people have used their skills, like agile deer, running on the mountains and meadows, extremely fast. Li Shengtian still used the footwork he practiced when he exercised in the valley before, and combined with the footwork of "Kamikaze Legs", he walked on the flat ground in the undulating mountains and wilderness, and hurried easily. And Wen Jin's footwork is obviously to have practiced the corresponding cheats, and his body jumps and rises and falls like a spirit monkey. As for Wang Ye and Ximen Hammer, they also chased hard, their footwork was light, and they never lagged behind.
ran all the way like this, speeding up the journey, and finally arrived at Lingyue Lake at sunset.
Lingyue Lake at a glance, a piece of mountain light and water, the lake is vast, rising a water mist, a small island in the center of the lake is thousands of kilometers away from the shore, the shore is rich in water and grass, from time to time there are water birds flying out of it, circling in the sky, and then plunging into the water, splashing a wave.
Smelling the moist smell of the lake, the aura in the air seems to be thicker than in other places, like sweet lactose. Li Shengtian took a deep breath, his face full of intoxication.
Seeing Li Shengtian's intoxicated expression, Wen Jin smiled and said: "A few junior brothers, this is Lingyue Lake, the island in the middle of the lake is where the water lingzhi grows, but the distance from the shore to the island is not good, there is a kind of spirit snake silver moon snake living in the lake, which will not hurt people on weekdays, but as long as it finds that there is an object approaching the island, it will attack the intruder frantically, which is unbearable." ”
"Hearing Senior Brother Wen say this, it seems that it is difficult to reach the island. I don't know if there is a way to deal with it?" Li Shengtian wondered.
"Naturally, there is some preparation for this. Wen Jin said, smiled mysteriously, took out a round magic weapon from his arms, and said, "Nuo, this is what I prepared for picking water lingzhi for this time, a fourth-level concealment magic weapon." ”
Seeing Wen Jin take out a concealment magic weapon, Li Shengtian immediately understood his intentions, through this concealment magic weapon, when several people went to the island in the middle of the lake by boat, the silver moon snake would not find their figures, and even the breath on the body could not be easily perceived, which could be described as the best means of cover.
"Today we will cut wood and build a raft, and tomorrow we can pick water Ganoderma lucidum. I'm a fourth-level concealment magic weapon, the Silver Moon Snake in the lake can't easily find it, and their strength is the highest in the condensation realm, let's be careful, the problem won't be too big!" Wen Jin said hopefully.
"It's still senior brother who is thoughtful. Wang Ye showed a look of extreme admiration.
While it was still dark, the four of them cut down trees to build a raft, there were many trees in the mountains, and there was no shortage of ropes for weaving, and by the end of the day, their building materials were basically ready, and everything was waiting for the raft to be tied up tomorrow, and they could go into the water.
A few people sat on the ground on the dry grass around the lit bonfire, each with their eyes closed and waiting for the dawn.
By the time the first rays of sunlight sowed the earth in the morning, Li Shengtian and the others had already assembled the raft and pushed it into the lake. The raft was two zhang long and one zhang wide, and the four people stood on it, steady, and did not see how much the raft sank. These hollow woods are really an excellent material for the construction of wooden rafts.
As soon as he arrived in the water, Wen Jin took out the concealment magic weapon, and the spiritual power was input into it to stimulate the concealment formation, and a clear light flashed, and then, from the outside, the four people and the raft had disappeared from front of him, and only the water streaks that were moving forward showed that there were objects floating on the water surface.
"Hmph, if you dare to offend Senior Brother Lin Shuchang, I will teach you a lesson today! Whether you live or die depends on your creation. A cold voice sounded in a barren grass thousands of kilometers away from Li Shengtian and them.
If Li Shengtian could see this person who spoke, he would definitely be able to recognize this person as one of the group of male disciples who followed Lin Shuchang at the big point of the mission a few days ago.
