Chapter 150: The Road Meets the Foundation
[Ran^ζ^Library][]. []. In just five days, in the area of Guanjiang, all the areas near the Three Demon Mountains, whether it is a town market or a mountain forest, monks who came in search of treasures came one after another. γRan Library (7764)γ
Cangzhou City, as a state and county across the east of the Yangtze River, has naturally become the main foothold of the cultivators.
Along the lower reaches of the Guanjiang River, there are many markets, which are also convenient for many monks. In this way, as long as you arrive at Cangzhou City, it is only three or four days away, and you can reach the foot of the Three Demon Mountains.
And the most important thing is that Cangzhou has a special geographical location, when the Huanhe River was flooded, after the riverbed collapsed, when the state government raised funds to repair, it opened up a mountain near Cangzhou, led the river into the canal, and went from south to north Guanjiang, which naturally gave the Huanhe, and then a few years later, it was collectively called: Zhoujiang.
Out of Cangzhou, once across the confluence of the Huanhe River and the Guanjiang River, over the Chongshan, it is the "Three Demon Mountain".
The Zhou River is turbulent, come along the way, see the river mercury falling for nine days, whirl like a dragon, the mighty and endless, the monstrous waves, slap the stone and hit the shore, the momentum is amazing.
Shangguan and his party of ten people, except for the four elders who had long been surprised by this, the rest of the scattered cultivators who followed were all discolored in their faces, even if they were flying high, but the sound shook under their feet, and it was extremely deaf, which still made people feel a chill.
The river was more than a hundred zhang wide, turbulent and rapid, meandering, Lin Ning and the three of them flew at the back of the team, he looked up, all the way forward, until he disappeared into the depths of the mountain range.
The dense forests on both sides of the bank were misty with fresh water, and Lin Ning found that the closer he was to the Demon Mountain, the more turbid the river became, and the denser the dense forests on both sides of the bank became.
I vaguely remember starting from Cangzhou, the places I passed through, and the town markets became more and more scarce. After four days of non-stop rushing, we arrived at the confluence of the Zhoujiang River, and this day has been without any people.
"Beyond the Demon Mountain, there are groups of mountains and countless dense forests. If you're a first-time visitor, it's easy to get lost in the neighborhood if there's no one to guide you. Seeing Lin Ning looking around, a casual cultivator who came with him stepped forward and said.
Lin Ning turned his head and saw that this person was a black-faced man with five big and three thick, he was wearing a gray and white gown, extremely rough, especially a cyan plate axe on his waist, which was extremely eye-catching. The double-edged plate axe, the size of an adult's palm, exudes a faint blue, so far, at a glance, you know that this axe is not ordinary.
He was as tall as a mountain, with an axe, which was extremely suitable, and his whole person was full of a sense of strength.
"Thank you Daoyou, in Xia Linning, I am a newcomer, and I hope that Daoyou will bear with me." Lin Ning turned around and hurriedly saluted him, and remembered that this person was one of the loose cultivators who were recruited with the Shangguan family into the mountain like several of them.
In the early stage of the eleventh level of qi refining, there were low-level high-level magic weapons by his side, and his strength was indeed not to be underestimated. The big man grinned and said quite boldly: "It turned out to be Lin Daoyou, my name is Chang Dashu, I am a rough man, I have been traveling and cultivating all year round, and I am used to being lazy. β
"Chang Dashu, uncle? This ......" After Lin Ning heard the name, he muttered a few words, but he didn't want to read it more and more wrong, so he only attracted smoke on the side, and couldn't help laughing.
Chang Dashu fanned his big palm, waved it in front of him, fanned a gust of wind, and said indifferently: "If Lin Daoyou thinks it's inappropriate, just call me Lao Chang, this name was given by my parents, but they died decades ago, and they often miss it, so this name has been used, hehe......"
He saw Lin Ning beside him like smoke, his skin was snow-white and condensed, and the jade fat was delicate, although he couldn't help but laugh and laughed, but the trembling appearance of the flower branches fell into his eyes, and he couldn't help but blush, and he was a little embarrassed.
"This is ......" Chang Dashu touched the back of his head, and saw that this woman had been walking very close to Lin Ning for a few days, so he took this opportunity to ask.
Like smoke covered his mouth and said: "Chang Daoyou, the little woman is like smoke, just offended, and I hope that there are a lot of Taoist friends." She stood on top of the artifact and nodded and smiled.
"Like, like a smoke girl, where is it...... I'm used to the name, so I don't have to worry about it. Ruyan nodded and smiled, which made his face blush even more.
But as soon as he realized the other party's cultivation, his eyes couldn't help but change slightly, but then he returned to normal.
When Kong Xuan also got acquainted with him, he looked at Lin Ning's eyes again, and they became intriguing, and he was slightly in awe.
It's no wonder that a woman who cultivates Buddhism and cultivates Qi twelve-fold follows her, and anyone will guess it in private, especially since her cultivation is far inferior to the two of them.
In this regard, Lin Ning just laughed and didn't say anything.
The sound of a few people laughing and talking came out without any scruples, causing the rest of the monks to look sideways, and two of them were loose cultivators, their eyes swept over, and they stayed on Ruyan and Kongxuan for a few more moments, and then turned their heads away, ignoring them at all.
I don't know if it's because the two of them are withdrawn, or because of distrust, Kong Xuan threw a kind smile, but was treated coldly by the two. Seeing this, Ruyan frowned, so strong, if Lin Ning hadn't stopped him in a hurry, I am afraid that he would have stepped forward to theorize.
At the front of the team, after hearing this, he was giggling, and Shangguan took a sip of pride, "Laugh, laugh." When you get into the mountains, see how you can laugh. β
Shangguan Wenjing just wanted to speak, but his face changed, his heart jumped suddenly, and he hurriedly looked around his head, and at the same time, the rest of the people were all shocked.
But as soon as I breathed, I saw a long tail of a meteor in the distance, breaking through the sky at great speed, and the speed was staggering.
Everyone's breathing changed suddenly, and Shangguan Wenjing said urgently: "It's a foundation building period monk." β
"I think we'd better hide." At this moment, Shangguan Qitian's proposal was immediately approved by everyone. Everyone gathered their breath and slowed down.
Quiet in the low altitude, all the atmospheres dare not come out, all waiting for the senior master to go away.
Above, a long-bearded old man with crane hair and a childish face was sitting cross-legged on a gossip plate with eight faces and a white jade body, followed by a Qi refining period monk, and a jade cane was placed on his body, also sitting upright.
It was the old man Yuchi of the Tainan Xiaohui, her heart moved, and when she noticed that there were a few quite familiar aura among the Qi refining cultivators below, she couldn't help but look down.
"Isn't it just a group of Qi refining stage disciples, what's there to see." The old man suddenly opened his mouth, and the old man Yuchi pretended to cough, "I can't hide it, senior Hong, there are still a few acquaintances in the dry qi refining period below." β
Saying that, she changed the topic and said: "This trip is fortunate to have the help of the old predecessors, otherwise with the old body cultivation, I am afraid that I will not be able to catch up with the Demon Mountain, and I will arrive at the Zhoujiang River in three days, at this speed, at most one day, you can reach the foot of the Demon Mountain." β
The old man surnamed Hong nodded, "That's good, with you to guide the way, it also makes the old man take some detours." This mountain is dangerous, after entering the mountain, although there is not much foundation for this trip, but it is not nothing, you have to be more careful yourself, and you have to refine medicine for me afterwards. β
"Yes." The old man Yuchi agreed heavily, and his gaze was retracted from below.
A Qi Refining Stage cultivator, located below, with an envious and respectful gaze, watched the meteor go away until it disappeared, and when he came back to his senses, Shangguan Wenjing said, "Let's go." β
However, everyone is as pale as dirt and extremely ugly.
Even Lin Ning is no exception.
"How could there be a foundation monk interfering? Isn't it death to use our cultivation as a way to enter the mountain? Chang Dashu pursed his lips and suddenly regretted it.
Shangguan Qitian said: "The demon mountain is so big, and it is not necessary to meet the monks of the foundation building period, and most of them are righteous sects who come here, along the way, it is rare to see a demon sect, as long as it is not a person who kills and kills, even if it is encountered, as long as you don't fight for other things, how can you not have a chance to cause trouble?" β
He came over and patted Chang Dashu on the shoulder, and comforted: "It's okay, they've all come here, how can there be any reason to return?" β
"Monkey King Daoist is right." Chang Dashu gritted his teeth.
As he spoke, an invisible murderous aura gradually permeated the crowd......
