Chapter 67: A Night Encounter in a Deserted Temple
Chapter 67 Night Encounter in the Deserted Temple
The north wind was bitter, blowing head-on, as fierce as a bayonet, and God could not bear to let the earth be exposed in this bitter cold weather, so it sprinkled cotton wool one after another, so the mountains were snow, and the roads were white.
In the vast deep mountains where birds are extinct and people are rare, a fast-moving black shadow is particularly prominent, I saw that this person was wearing a cyan robe, carrying a huge animal skin package, looking like that, it was clearly a weapon, he was flying forward in the snow half a foot behind, if you observe carefully, you will be surprised to find that the place where this person has passed, there is no trace left, this person is Xie Lan, and he has been away from Liangyue Country for two months.
After ten years, he finally saw this natural snow scene again, and after several days of excitement, his joy calmed down a little.
Suddenly, a white shadow moved in the corner of Xie Lan's eyes, Xie Lan couldn't help but be overjoyed, he had been dried meat every day for the past few days, and he could finally improve his food, thinking of this, he immediately changed his direction, and with a flick of his fingers, a small ice archery came out of his hand, and the white shadow was fixed in place, a fat snow rabbit, Xie Lan skillfully handled it, and after half an hour, a pot of delicious rabbit soup appeared in front of him, he took out a jar of spirits from Zhai Yun's bracelet, and enjoyed the beautiful scenery in this ice and snow.
After he was full of wine and food, his spiritual sense sensed the jade slips placed by Elder Taishang in Zhai Yun's bracelet, and there were some simple five-element spells in these jade slips, as well as the tasks of the master, as well as the various spiritual objects in the cultivation realm. These simple Five Elements Techniques are naturally effortless to use with the strong spiritual power of the late stage of his foundation building, and they have been fully manifested since he made rabbit soup, making fire, condensing water, and the ice archery technique just now. He just scanned it briefly, and stopped at the "Compendium of Heaven and Earth Spiritual Objects", which was sorted out and perfected step by step by the predecessors of Qingxuanzong, looking at the detailed introduction above, Xie Lan was deeply addicted to it, and after a while, he locked on two kinds of spiritual plants: Blue Lotus and Purple Lotus Ice Heart Grass. These are all third-level spirit plants, which are the main materials for refining the Qingxin Pill, although they are not ranked very high in the master's tasks, but in terms of their own strength, finding this kind of spirit plant is the most suitable for themselves at the moment. Moreover, this continuous northern mountain range is where these two spirit plants grow. Imprinting the characteristics of the two spirit plants in his mind, Xie Lan raised his head and sighed deeply.
It was a rushing face, two months of long-distance travel, Xie Lan traveled through several countries, and then came to the northern power of the Xiayun Continent - Beiming, Xie Lan unfolded a map, which he bought in the market when he first entered the country of Beiming, this should belong to the border area of Beiming, as a superpower in the Xiayun Continent, the understanding of monks is not known to be many times stronger than that of Liangyue Country, when listening to the people here talk, it seems that there are many monks enshrined in this palace, There was even a trace of the Heavenly Dao Sect, one of the eight major sects behind him, Xie Lan took another deep breath, felt the cold air in the mountains, simply cleaned up, and set foot on the road ahead again.
In the blink of an eye, it is another day, when your eyes are full of dazzling white for ten days and a half months, it is inevitable that there will be a trace of tiredness, running around for days, Xie Lan's excitement about the snow scene has long faded, since his Dao heart has recovered, he has never slept again, rushing during the day, and meditating and cultivating at night.
It was nearly evening, and the setting sun shone softly, and the white world seemed to have drunk too much of this halo, showing a large area of red as if drunk, and then stepped into the night in a daze. At this time, Xie Lan was still running around in the mountains, he looked around, only the mountains in the distance were continuous, and he was surrounded by small mountains, it was difficult to find a cave, seeing this, Xie Lan suddenly jumped up, and a blue light came out at the right time, taking him as if flying away.
After walking for about an hour, a reddish flame was very obvious in this dark night, since entering the Deyasi Mountains, he had not seen people, and dared to stop in this cold deep mountain at night, could it be a person in the same way?
Xie Lan pressed the sword light, after all, he couldn't bear the loneliness on the way, and approached the firelight with a hint of curiosity. With his sharp gaze, he found that it was a ruined temple, and after tidying up a little, Xie Lan walked into that temple.
As soon as he stepped into the threshold, Xie Lan met a beam of eyes, obviously this person was also a cultivator, and he already knew that someone outside was coming in, so he looked at the door. It was a young Taoist priest dressed in a dark blue robe, he was half-leaning on a pillar in the temple, with a slightly darkened complexion, a slightly chubby face, and small eyes, and at this time he was holding a yellowed ancient book in his hand, and after seeing Xie Lan come in, he stood up, and said unhurriedly while bowing: "This Taoist friend, seeing each other is fate, poor Dao is Jiao Yong, presumably you are also for the Deyaxi Mountain Range's monster mutation, right?" β
"Dao You, my name is Xie Lan, I don't know what is going on with the monster beast mutation in the Deyaxi Mountain Range that you said?" Xie Lan returned the salute and asked curiously.
"Oh, Dao friendly, that ...... I'm Jiao Yong. β
"Well, Dao friendly, I'm Xie Lan." Xie Lan felt a little strange and had to reply.
"That, I'm Jiao Yong, from the Heavenly Dao Gate."
"It turned out to be the senior brother of the Heavenly Dao Sect, and I am from the Qingxuan Sect." Xie Lan felt more and more strange, but looking at the serious look of the Taoist, he had no choice but to report to his home.
The monk felt a hint of surprise, and then said, "I'm Jiao Yong, haven't you heard my name?" β
Xie Lan then understood what the Taoist meant: "I'm sorry, Daoyou Jiao, I've been in retreat and cultivating, this is the first time I've gone down the mountain, I don't know the situation in the cultivation world, if there is anything offended, I hope that Daoist friends will understand." β
"I see, those who don't know are not to blame, not to blame."
Xie Lan then asked, "I don't know what happened to the demon beast mutation that Jiao Daoyou just said?" β
Jiao Yong saw that Xie Lan really didn't know him, and he was feeling a little embarrassed, and suddenly heard Xie Lan ask about it, and immediately said it seriously.
It turns out that the Deyasi Mountains stretch for hundreds of thousands of miles, and the southeast of the mountain range is the subordinate territory of the Northern Ming, including several small vassal states, and the northwest is the sphere of influence of the demon clan, but the two clans can generally live in peace, about twenty years ago, many demon beasts suddenly poured out of the Deyasi Mountain Range, attacking the nearby mountain people, and with the advancement of time, the scale of the demon beasts has become larger and larger, and the degree has become more and more frequent, which has never been done before, and the people in the cultivation world near us, I also used this place as a place of trial, after all, all the materials of the demon beast are very useful to us and others.
But in recent years, the behavior of the demon beasts has been particularly violent, and it has destroyed more than a dozen villages, according to the surviving mountain people, there are several black rhinoceros monsters, their eyes are red, and they are several times larger than ordinary rhinoceros, and the elders of my Tiandaomen happened to pass by there, and they went over to check it out, and came up with a surprising result, those rhinoceros demon beasts are likely to have been demonized, and may even have become demonic beasts.
Hearing this, Xie Lan asked suspiciously, "What is a demon beast?" What is the difference between a demon beast and a demon, and what is a demon beast? β
Jiao Yong put away the yellowed ancient book in his hand, and after changing his posture, he said slowly: "It seems that you haven't read the book "Gods and Demons", this book records the origin of my Xia Yun Continent, and also mentions the great war tens of thousands of years ago, I don't know the specific situation, but I know that the original thirty-three heavens collapsed, countless interfaces fell apart, human race, demon race, demon race, and many other races suffered countless casualties, and finally they each controlled some interfaces, My Xia Yun Continent should be a small area controlled by the human race, as for the specific status, I don't know," Looking at Xie Lan's stunned scene, Jiao Yong seemed to finally feel a little satisfied, and continued: "The above are all inferred by me from some wild books, and they can't be true, but the following ones have a deep relationship with the question you asked just now, the wilderness in the northwest of the Deyasi Mountains has always been the sphere of influence of the demon race, because there has been an experience of people and demons cooperating to fight against the demon race, so although the races are different, But all along, there is nothing to do between the two, but the demon and the demon beast are different, after experiencing the transformation of the catastrophe, most of the demons will be enlightened and successfully transformed, but there are also some people who survive the catastrophe and are still ignorant and lead to the failure of the transformation, that is, the demon beasts, although their intelligence is not high, but their strength is very strong. In the Deyasi Mountains, there are still many demons exiled by the demon clan, and after thousands of years of breeding, I don't know how many different demon beasts exist. β
Jiao Yong licked his lips, Xie Lan immediately took out a jar of bamboo leaf green and two small bowls from Zhai Yun's bracelet, poured two bowls of wine respectively, and handed over a bowl, Jiao Yong was not polite, took a sip, and then continued: "As for the appearance of demonic beasts, there are many reasons, and combined with the situation here, there are no more than two kinds, one is that there is a spatial crack in the Deyasi Mountain Range, which may directly lead to the demon world; The second is that the demon beast is demonized for unknown reasons. But no matter what the reason, it may be inseparable from the demons. The demonic beasts are ferocious and murderous, and after learning the news, the nearby Daomen Buddhist Temple and other cultivation sects have sent some disciples to find out the reason and kill these demonic beasts. β
After hearing this, Xie Lan secretly thought for a while, and then said, "I heard that there are third-level spiritual plants in the mountains in this northern area, such as the Blue Lotus and the Purple Lotus Ice Heart Grass? Can Jiao Daoyou know the specific location? β
Looking at Jiao Yong's somewhat strange gaze, Xie Lan explained: "I went down the mountain this time to take on some master's tasks, which include these two kinds of spiritual plants, so I came here nearby, since I have listened to the introduction of Daoyou, I will definitely stay to contribute to my cultivation world, but I just hope that at the same time, if the two are not far away, by the way, I will also complete one or two of the master's tasks." β
"I see, hehe, I'm too worried, but fellow Daoist, do you know that this demon beast still has the value of a demon beast, just talking about demon beasts, they generally have a demon core in their bodies, and the worst ones also have demon yuan, it can be said that they have condensed pure spiritual power, if we refine it, we can enhance a lot of strength, and their flesh and blood are also very valuable, they can make alchemy talismans, and even refining weapons, even if they can't use it, they can go to our monks' shops, or exchange what they need or exchange for spirit stones. As for the demonic beasts, their bones are extremely hard, but they are the main material for refining spiritual weapons. β
Hearing this, Xie Lan was overjoyed, "In this way, can you join Jiao Daoyou?" β
"Of course, the journey is lonely, and it is good to be able to go together. By the way, the two spirit plants you said are in the depths of the Deyasi Mountains, this time you will go deep into the mountains to find out the reason, and you may be able to encounter these two spirit plants, and if you get enough demon beast materials, you can also exchange some of them when you go to the market, and presumably there should also be these things about demon beasts in your master's mission. β
When Xie Lan heard this, he couldn't help but be stunned, and then Lingjue swept the task of the master in Zhai Yun's bracelet, and sure enough, it contained some demon beast materials, and saluted Jiao Yong: "Thank you Daoyou for reminding you." β
Jiao Yong smiled, and the two continued to talk.
