Chapter 3: Towards the Forbidden Land
Early the next morning, Yan Lingyun got up early, greeted her mother, and after eating breakfast with Ping'er, she packed up and planned to go out. Pen Γ fun Γ Pavilion www. ο½ο½ο½ο½ο½ο½ γ info[η^ζ^δΉ¦εΊ][]. [774] [buy]. []
Ping'er saw that he was not as usual, and there was a frame to go out, so he couldn't help asking, "Young master, where are you going?"
Yan Lingyun pulled Ping'er aside and whispered to him, saying that he was just going out for a long time, and he would return in a few days, asking her to take care of his mother Yunyun, and then walked out of the small courtyard and looked for the back door out of the mansion.
Ping'er kept Yan Lingyun walking without seeing anyone, and only then did she retract her gaze, and her pretty face was full of worry. Although the latter didn't tell her what to do, and walked calmly, but intuitively, she felt that his going was dangerous, and there was a situation of putting life and death aside and vowing not to return it if he didn't achieve his goal. But she couldn't tell her wife, for fear of causing her to worry, and if her wife asked, she would have to talk to Yan Lingyun. The torment in his heart is indescribable!
Yan Lingyun walked out of the "Lianyun Capital", did not alarm anyone, walked westward, and walked into the mountains alone. He went here to find an elixir for his mother to continue his life. And the elixir, which is known here in the wilderness, has only one source, the Sunset Forest!
Sunset Forest, legend has it that it is an endless primeval jungle. In the meantime, there are countless poisonous insects and beasts, and the complex geographical environment is even more daunting, so the people in the border wilderness call it "forbidden land".
Yan Lingyun collected medicine this time, and it was to go to this forbidden land.
He is a person who has no force in his body, and if he goes, he will die for life!
The sun slowly rose, and the golden light sprinkled over the mountains, melting the chill that had not yet melted in the air. The temperature is starting to warm up.
Yan Lingyun stepped on the long figure stretched by the sunlight in front of him, walking on the rugged mountain road.
Midsummer is the warm spring of the border wilderness, the mountains are full of flowers, birds are singing and fragrant, the scenery is extremely beautiful, but he has no intention of appreciating it, and he is in a hurry. He only knew the general location of the Sunset Forest, but he had never been there, the distance was far and near, he had no bottom in his heart, and he only carried the dry food needed to last a few days, so he had to buy time and make plans early.
When I walked to a mountain corner, I suddenly heard a strange sound from the corner, followed by an "ouch", and someone cried out in pain, as if he had fallen.
Yan Lingyun turned around the corner of the mountain and saw a brightly dressed man standing up angrily, dusting the mud on his robe with both hands, rubbing his knees, and muttering: "It's not good to go out, it's really unlucky, it seems that today's gambling luck is not good!" He tucked his bulging waist with his hand, breathed a sigh of relief, and said, "Fortunately, the gambling book is not scattered."
When Yan Lingyun saw this scene, he knew that he was a young man in a certain tribe, in his thirties, and he looked dignified, but he didn't want to make progress, indulged in gambling, and didn't practice martial arts, otherwise he wouldn't have walked and wrestled. Immediately, he was not good-willed and prepared to leave.
But when the man saw Yan Lingyun, it was like seeing the God of Wealth, and he greeted him with a smile on his face, and said familiarly: "Little brother, borrow an auspicious word from you, how do you think my gambling luck is today?"
Yan Lingyun knew that he was trying to please a good omen, but he didn't have a good impression of it, so he bluntly persuaded: "Uncle, since ancient times, you have lost nine out of ten bets, don't indulge in it."
When the man heard this, he immediately sank his face, snorted angrily, took steps, and disappeared after three turns and two turns.
Yan Lingyun shook his head, didn't care, and continued on the road. When he walked to the place where the man had fallen, he suddenly stepped on something under his feet, and when he looked down, he found that it was a small square box, flat, dark in color, and the size of a palm. He picked it up, and it was very light in his hand, and there was no opening around it, and he shook it with his hand, feeling hollow in his belly, hiding something, and it seemed that the box had an ingenious mechanism.
He also recognized the box's material, which was made of metal called Ugin.
Ugin, a rare metal in the Frontier Wilderness, is light in texture but extremely hard. If it is used to cast weapons, it is definitely blowing hair and cutting iron like clay. Even if you add a little bit of ordinary steel, you can also create a sharp treasure. However, due to its scarcity of production, it existed as a circulating currency in the frontier wilderness, and was minted in the form of strips, cakes, and varying values.
Nowadays, a box is made of Ugin throughout, with an ingenious mechanism that holds things, and the objects in it are also precious.
"Could it be that the man just lost it?" Yan Lingyun immediately thought of this possibility. Because the man fell here and accidentally fell, the situation coincided here.
"A gentleman doesn't take people's love, no matter what is in the box, this box alone is worth a lot of money, if it is really owned by the man, he must value it very much, sooner or later he will find it lost, and then he will definitely go back to look for it. I'll just wait for him, and if he doesn't come, I can't blame him for taking it for myself. This is a pedestrian haunt, I don't pick it up, others will pick it up. After thinking about it carefully, Yan Lingyun made a decision. He took the box into his arms, took out a knife from the satchel around his waist, ran halfway up the mountain, cut an arm-thick green bamboo, dragged it to the corner of the mountain and sat down, and slowly sharpened the bamboo pole.
The sun gradually rose, and after about a meal, Yan Lingyun cut a bamboo flower on the ground, made five small bamboo tubes, and sealed them with bamboo lids. He put four of them in his waist satchel, and the rest was ready to be used to fetch water. After walking for half a day, my mouth was thirsty.
Still nowhere to be seen, the man returned, he observed the mountain, found a spring in the nearby mountains, and returned with a bamboo tube of mountain spring water. With the spring water, he took some dry food out of his satchel and began to eat lunch.
But until he finished eating, the man was still nowhere to be seen, and the sun rose to midheaven at this time. Yan Lingyun didn't have time to wait, and planned to set off. At this moment, he suddenly saw a white-haired old man rushing from the front, and the speed was amazingly fast, he was like a gust of wind, and instantly blew in front of the former.
"Little friend, it can be seen that a man has passed by since then, and he looks ......" The old man saw Yan Lingyun, stood still, looked at the latter carefully, and glanced at the bamboo flowers all over the ground, his originally serious expression eased slightly, and he opened his mouth to ask. But his shining eyes firmly grasped Yan Lingyun.
Yan Lingyun was shocked, and was stared at by the old man's gaze, just like facing a fierce ninth-order beast, there was a feeling that there was nowhere to escape. He knew that he had met an unfathomable master, so he didn't dare to slack off at the moment, stood up, straightened his robe and said: "Go back to the old man's house, the boy did see a person as you described passing by, dare to ask you what the old ......man is" He did not say where the man was going or how long he had walked, but implicitly asked the old man's intentions, because he was afraid of bringing disaster to others for no reason.
He had no grudge against the man before, and although he did not like his gambling, he was not so bad as to frame him. According to the old man's description, the person he asked was the middle-aged man from before.
Yan Lingyun kept an eye on the old man's intentions when his intentions were unclear.
How could the old man not know his intentions, not only was he not annoyed, but he recognized his approach very much, and his attitude couldn't help but soften a little, he took away the essence of his eyes, and sighed slightly: "Don't hide it from Xiaoyou, that son is not filial, and is addicted to gambling, this time not only rolled up the family's money, but also an important thing is missing, presumably he also took it." That thing is very important, and if one is not good, it will invite boundless disaster! I also ask Xiaoyou to tell me the truth, hoping that it will be recovered in time to avoid a big mistake. β
Yan Lingyun's heart moved, and he thought of the box in his arms. He looked at the old man carefully, looking at his white eyebrows and white beard, although his face was close to ancient times, but his style and bones were tough, he was still not angry and arrogant, and he was born with a righteous face. The middle-aged man did look a little similar to him, but it didn't seem to be fake, so he said, "I don't know what the old man said looks like?" Maybe the kid has seen it. Before, your grandson fell here, and things were scattered all over the ground, and the boy happened to meet him. β
The old man was stunned when he heard this, and sighed helplessly: "When my grandson Bai Qiu was young, he was greedy for comfort and did not practice martial arts, and his body has always been weak. In addition, it is also worry-free. But since he gave birth to his wife and died, he became playful and addicted to gambling. His parents died young, and his wife was like that, and I can't bear to blame him too much. Money is something outside of the body, and if you lose, you lose. But this time, that matter is too big, I will definitely investigate it to the end, and if it can be confirmed by Xiaoyou's mouth, it will also give me a sense of direction. That's what it is......" The old man immediately told the character of the thing.
After listening to the old man, Yan Lingyun confirmed that what he said was the box in his arms, and said, "Please forgive the old man, the kid just played a trick on you." Actually, I didn't see anything on your grandson, I just found a box in the place where he wrestled, and thought it might have been lost by him, and I was waiting for him to come back and claim it. I never thought that I didn't wait for your grandson, but I waited for your old man, but it was also wrong. Now return the box to its rightful owner. He took the box out of his bosom and handed it to the old man.
The latter looked at him in a daze for a long time before taking the box and sighing, "It's so commendable! Little friend, I, Bai Qianshan, have inherited a great kindness from you. β
Yan Lingyun smiled and said, "The old man doesn't have to be like this, I just did my duty, and I don't dare to say anything." I'm still in a hurry, so I'm leaving, take care. He arched his hand at the hundred thousand mountains, ready to continue on the road.
"Little friend, slow down."
Bai Qianshan stopped Yan Lingyun and said, "Forgive the old man for asking more, I don't know what Xiaoyou's intentions are?" β
Yan Lingyun's mood suddenly fell, he thought of the purpose of this trip, thought of his mother's condition, and couldn't help but sigh: "Sunset Forest!"
"Sunset Forest!"
Bai Qianshan's eyes widened suddenly, and the two slender white eyebrows seemed to fly, he couldn't believe it, thinking that he had heard it wrong.
Yan Lingyun nodded gloomily!
The former saw that he didn't seem to be joking, and looking at his expression, he should have unbearable hardship, so he said: "Little friend, the old man sees that your muscles are loose and your spirit is scattered, you are not a person with force, and the sunset forest will never go!" If you have any problems, you might as well tell the old decay, maybe I can help you with one or two. β
Although Yan Lingyun can't practice martial arts, his eyesight is not bad. He knew that Bai Qianshan was a generation of masters, and the so-called people were old and sophisticated, and they must be knowledgeable, so maybe they could really get a turnaround from him. Seeing that he took the initiative to mention it, he was not hypocritical at the moment, so he told him about his mother's illness and the situation of the mother and son, and finally sighed: "The kid is incompetent, and finally has to make this decision, go to the sunset forest to fight for his destiny!"
After hearing this, Bai Qianshan was very moved, and after a long silence, Fang said: "According to Xiaoyou's analysis, your mother has been in bed for many years, and her body is afraid that she is already weak, so she must not be angry with her. Although the old man has some confidence in his own internal cultivation, he is also not sure about your mother's condition. Maybe you can only find a mild elixir as Xiaoyou thinks, and slowly recuperate, so that there is a possibility of returning to heaven. But you're going...... Forgive the old man for saying a word that he doesn't like, it's hard to climb to the sky! β
Yan Lingyun saw that there was nothing to be done about characters like Bai Qianshan, and his heart couldn't help but be gloomy, and sadness came from it. But he has a strong temperament and will not give up easily, since he has made a decision, he will continue to walk towards the goal, regardless of the difficulties and obstacles ahead. He bowed to the latter and sighed: "If you succeed, you will be happy, and if you lose, you will have no regrets!" The old man was kind, but the boy had to go on his way. β
Yan Lingyun sorted out his belongings, waved his hand to Bai Qianshan, and walked forward.
Bai Qianshan stroked his beard with one hand, looked at his back as he gradually walked away, and nodded.
