Chapter 197: 'Returning Home'
Lin Xi and Xiaolan already have the main information of the Zhenjia vein, so there is no need to stay here any longer. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
However, before leaving, everyone packed a storage bag of armor, and Lin Xi deliberately found a few jade boxes with a large capacity and also filled the whole piece of armor.
Although half of this armor vein has been given to the Blue Flower Chimbunk Clan, no one in the clan has come to visit it now, so these armors are considered as gifts to them.
When passing through the underground river, at the request of Uncle Zhong and Xiaolan, Lin Xi deliberately filled the water of the three gourds with a jade gourd with a capacity of ten cubic meters.
"Because the underground river is not far from the Jia, the water of this underground river is also rich in the Jia, and it is directly edible. If you use this water to cook food with spirit vegetables and spirit animal meat, it can not only speed up cultivation, but also strengthen bones. Uncle Zhong explained to everyone why he asked Lin Xi to fetch water.
Xiaolan thought for a moment and added, "Well, yes. Lin Xi had taken the Bone Cleansing Pill earlier, and the strength of the bones was not ordinary for a long time, but it did not reach the maximum limit, and after consuming the Bone Cleansing Pill, the strength of the bones could still be enhanced again. Moreover, the consumption of the nail not only increases the strength of the bones, but also the strength of the muscles and meridians. Otherwise, how could the armor become the most scarce thing on the mainland? ā
When everyone heard this, their eyes were different when they looked at the underground river, and without Uncle Zhong and Xiaolan urging, Xiao Yu'er immediately took out the utensils he was carrying and filled them with water, not only his, but even Xiaolu's, Ji Nan, Xue Yi and others were not let go. The storage bag is stuffed to the brim.
Lin Xi said with a smile, "Fortunately, I gave you a storage bag to put the armor in, otherwise wouldn't you have to go out with the armor in your hands at this time?" ā
Xiao Yu'er grimaced when she heard this, and then pulled Lin Xi and asked quietly, moaning with apprehension, "Can I give the armor to the Peach Blossom Spring?" ā
He knew that the secret here couldn't be told, but the demon clan in the Peach Blossom Land was either a partner who had fought together since childhood, or an elder who watched him grow up, if only they could use the armor as well!
Lin Xi smiled when he heard this, and nodded in Xiao Yu'er's anticipation, "Yes!" But you have to figure out how to tell them where the armor came from! ā
Xiao Yu'er is willing to follow her, and for this point, Lin Xi will agree.
Xiao Yu'er patted her chest with a smile, "Don't worry!" I'll definitely find a good reason! ā
Lin Xi patted him on the shoulder and nodded at his storage bag, "Well, then you send it over as soon as possible, and besides, I don't have a storage bag here to fill your armor, you'd better pour out the water from these gourds in Ji Nan!" ā
Xiao Yu'er's happy eyes were bubbling with happiness, and she replied happily, "Well, I'll be back soon!" ā
After speaking, he poured the water in the gourd back into the river, transformed into a real body, flapped his wings, and disappeared in a blink of an eye.
"Why did Xiao Yu'er go?" Seeing that after the two of them whispered for a long time, Xiao Yu'er suddenly turned into her real body and flew away, startling several people, Xiaolan hurriedly looked at Lin Xi and asked.
"Oh, I'll ask him to go and get some more armor, and give some to Peach Blossom Garden before leaving." Lin Xi said.
"Let's go slowly, he'll come out by himself in a moment." After thinking about it, Lin Xi greeted again.
Everyone walked slowly along the underground river, and after a while, the little fish flew back.
It may be because I was in a good mood to find the armor, and the journey back was only half an hour away.
Now the cave under the phoenix wood forest has been connected, in order to prevent someone from entering the cave by mistake and discovering the armor vein, after a few people came out, Xiaolan and Xue Yi cooperated to seal the connection, and set up a few formations that can not only confuse people but also play an alarm role.
In the cave, the people poured out the armor from the storage bag, which was almost the size of a room.
Although there are no requirements for the utensils to be contained, according to the experience of Uncle Xiaolan Zhong and others, it is better to use jade, so several people took out all their jade boxes to fill the armor.
At this time, Uncle Zhong suddenly patted his head and said, "With the armor, you can refine those gourds as soon as possible!" ā
Adding armor to the refining weapon can increase the strength of the magic weapon, so that the same magic weapon can be refined.
"Really?" Lin Xi asked in surprise, he had long wanted to see what kind of magic weapons those gourds could refine.
However, when Lin Xi saw Uncle Zhong's pale face, he still shook his head, "Forget it, the gourd is here, and you can't run, let's wait for your body to recover!" ā
Although there was Xiaolan's suppression, after some actions in the cave just now, Uncle Zhong was faintly unable to hold on, his face was pale, a thin layer of sweat appeared on his face, and his breath was still stable.
When Xue Yi heard this, he couldn't help but hang his head a little ashamedly, if he hadn't been gone for so long and wouldn't come, Uncle Zhong's poison would have been solved, "Uncle Zhong, it's my mistake, you wait, I'll refine the antidote for you soon!" ā
Uncle Zhong shook his head, "I can still hold on!" Let's wait until we get to Hongji Temple! "It's not safe here.
Xue Yi nodded, thinking to himself, I still have to prepare some pills first to suppress the toxins later.
*********
Soon it was dusk, and there was no sunlight in the cave, and after eating the meal cooked with the water of the underground river, Lin Xi and Xiao Yu'er quietly walked out of the cave in their invisibility cloaks and came to the phoenix wood forest on the ground.
The sun had sunk into the ground, leaving only a faint glow on the horizon. The phoenix woods were as quiet as ever, and there was not even the sound of a bird flying at this moment.
I don't know if it's because of being underground these days, I always feel that the phoenix wood forest seems to have changed a lot, the original fiery red leaves have turned a little yellow, and the fallen leaves on the ground seem to have increased again, and the newly fallen leaves make a crisp 'click-click' sound when stepping on the feet.
Not only the leaves, but also the green weeds on the ground have become wilted and wilted, and the tips of the grass have also turned slightly yellow, and if you look closely, you will see that the ground on the surface seems to be a little cracked.
Lin Xi's first reaction was that something was wrong!
Although there are few large rivers in Nanmashan, there are still many streams with a width of feet, and there is an abundance of underground water, whether it is grass or trees on the ground, there has never been a shortage of water.
Thinking of this, Lin Xi raised her head and looked at the mountain peaks in the distance, as she expected, there was no longer the original feeling of verdant, the only feeling was dry, dry green.
Xiao Yu'er didn't think so much as Lin Xi thought, the two of them came out in advance to breathe, and when it got dark, they had to go to the Peach Blossom Spring, take the armor to their parents, and say goodbye to them for the last time.
"Sister, there's no one around, let's take off the invisibility cloak and call them all up! I didn't come out for a day, and I was stuffy! Xiao Yu'er deliberately blinked her cute eyes and said coquettishly to Lin Xi.
Lin Xi also had this intention, took off the invisibility cloak, and asked Xiao Yu'er to go to the entrance of the cave to call him and everyone out.
After a while, except for Xue Yi and Uncle Zhong, who were suppressing the toxin for Uncle Zhong, even Xiaolu also came up.
"What's wrong?" Ji Nan stretched and looked at the void in the distance and asked.
Without waiting for Lin Xi to answer, he sighed again, "Sure enough, it's more comfortable outside!" I don't want to live underground again in my life! ā
Lin Xi glared at him, do we want to live?
"Yes, look! Here and here, well, and there! Lin Xi pointed to the leaves, the grass, and the distant mountains and said, "Do you think something is going on on the mountain?" ā
Hearing this, everyone lowered their heads in thought, and after a while, Xiaolan raised her head, "Do you remember the stone that Xue Yi picked up at that time?" ā
Lin Xi understood this, she nodded, and asked, "You mean, lost it again?" ā
Xiaolan spread her hands, "Then what other reasons do you say can cause such a large-scale effect?" ā
"Isn't there a demon beast guarding there?" Lin Xi remembered that there seemed to be a demon beast guarding there at that time.
"Who knows?" Xiaolan said depressedly, how can such an important thing be lost?
"Stop!" Xiao Yu'er interrupted before Lin Xi could speak, "What are you talking about?" We don't know. ā
Oh, yes, only Lin Xi, Xiaolan and Xue Yi were there at that time.
"Is it Zhenshan Stone?" Before Lin Xi could say anything, Xiao Yu'er asked again.
Xiaolan nodded, "Well, it's Zhenshan Stone!" ā
"No, there are demon beasts guarding the mountain core in turn, how can you lose it? No kidding! Xiao Yu'er didn't believe it.
"How could it not be? You have seen it yourself, this situation is not in the core of the mountain, what else can have such a big impact? Ji Nan glanced at Xiao Yu'er and said slowly.
Anyway, I'm going to leave Nanmashan, it doesn't matter what, it's just that Xiao Yu'er's family is still here, and as one of his 'buddies', he can't stand by and watch.
Xiao Yu'er touched his head, he lived so big, the most he did was to cultivate, cough, and eat fish, and he didn't care much about other things.
"Forget it, don't guess! It's getting dark, Lin Xi and Xiao Yu'er should also hurry up, by the way, see if the situation in other places is the same as here, and then probe the news from the Peach Blossom Spring, see if they know about this matter, and how they can solve it? Xiaolan waved her hand and commanded.
If it weren't for the fact that there was only one invisibility cloak, she and Ji Nan could go to the mountain core first.
Lin Xi nodded, "We'll be back as soon as possible!" ā
After speaking, Lin Xi and Xiao Yu'er put on their invisibility cloaks again, and walked for about two or three kilometers before Xiao Yu'er turned into his true body and took Lin Xi to the Peach Blossom Spring.
A quarter of an hour later, the two of them stopped two or three kilometers away from the Peach Blossom Spring, Xiao Yu'er turned into a human form, and the two of them hid under the invisibility cloak again, avoiding the disciples of the Lei Yan Sect who were watching outside, and quietly touched the Peach Blossom Spring.
Since being attacked by the disciples of Lei Yan Sect, the entrance of the Peach Blossom Paradise has also been set up with a formation, and there is no corresponding identity jade plate, once the formation is forced, it will make a vigilant sound, attracting the demon clan in the Peach Blossom Paradise and the nearby demon beasts.
The formation was set up after Xiao Yu'er left, so he didn't have an identity jade plate. The formation not only blocked the disciples of Lei Yan Sect outside, but also blocked Lin Xi and Xiao Yu'er at the entrance.
"What now? Is there a way for you to send a message to the people inside and get them to come out? Lin Xi asked.
Xiao Yu'er nodded, "I'll try!" ā
After speaking, he plucked a white feather with the length of Lin Xi's palm from his body, and then used his aura to scratch the feather's pole a few times, and then threw the feather towards the formation.
The speed of the feathers was very fast, and before the formation could make a warning sound, the feathers had already seeped in.
Then, the formation made a piercing alert sound, and Lin Xi and Xiao Yu'er put on invisibility cloaks and waited aside.
*******
The sudden outbreak of alarm over the Peach Blossom Land woke up all the demons, and the demons immediately picked up their magic weapons and rushed to the entrance, and Xiao Yu'er's parents also followed the demons out.
When they were about to walk to the entrance, Xiao Yu'er's parents felt a strong familiar breath, Xiao Yu'er's mother, a white Shengyu named dulcimer, had a flash of inspiration in her mind, and blurted out, "Xiao Yu'er is here!" ā
Xiao Yu'er's father, a cyan Shengyu named Hang Lou, saw that the demons heard the sound and looked over, and nodded busily, "Well, it is indeed the breath of Xiao Yu'er!" ā
One after another, some demons felt a familiar breath and affirmed the statements of the two.
Xiao Yu'er doesn't have an identity jade plate, and if he wants to come in, he will definitely trigger the formation.
At this moment, a small red spirit bird pointed to a distance of one zhang from the formation and said, "Look! What is that? ā
"It's the feathers of a small fish!" The dulcimer recognized at a glance that the feather came from the small fish.
After speaking, he looked at the feather carefully, and said happily, "It's him back!" ā
Since it wasn't the disciples of Lei Yan Sect who attacked, the demons also said goodbye and left, leaving only Xiao Yu'er's parents to open the formation.
The demon beasts that heard the sound also left one after another after searching to no avail, while Lin Xi and Xiao Yu'er quietly slipped in after the dulcimer and Hanglou opened the formation.
The hopeful dulcimer and Hang Lou did not find Xiao Yu'er's figure, and closed the formation sadly. Unexpectedly, as soon as he turned his head, he saw his son appear in front of him, and the dulcimer happily hugged Xiao Yu'er.
If it was usual, I would hug it, but today Lin Xi was also here to watch, Xiao Yu'er's face turned red, and before the dulcimer could vent, he twisted and broke free from her embrace, and said reluctantly, "I'm so old, can you stop hugging me in the future!" ā
Lin Xi didn't laugh at Xiao Yu'er, but gave him a look, there are still many things!
"By the way, we have something important to do, let's go back first!" Xiao Yu'er received Lin Xi's eyes and hurriedly urged.
Yangqin and Hang Lou only noticed Lin Xi at this time, and before the two could speak, they were pushed home by Xiao Yu'er.
******
"Oh my God! Is this the armor? Yangqin and Hang Lou looked at the armor in the gourd in disbelief and asked.
Xiao Yu'er nodded and was happily waiting for the two to praise him, and his head was slapped by Hang Lou, "Where did you steal it?" ā
The known armor veins in the mainland are all ownerial, and according to Xiao Yuer's financial resources, he can't afford to buy so many obviously very good quality armor, of course, even if he can afford it, people won't sell him so much!
Xiao Yu'er rubbed her head aggrievedly, "I didn't steal!" These are all mine! If you don't believe me, you can ask Sister Lin Xi! ā
