Chapter 102: Light Band
The group stayed overnight in the place of trial, and the safety issues, food and accommodation problems that they should face, with Yang Zhangzhen present, were not a problem.
In the evening, under the leadership of the company elder, the three of them caught three long water eels in the river below a waterfall. Even if the elder called him a water snake, Xia Yi naturally wouldn't correct him.
After returning to the station, Xia Yi, who had become a "waste material" since entering the place of trial, began to do it, dealing with water snakes, building bonfires, and finding some harmless and stimulating plants under the guidance of the company elders.
Flatten the water snake for the barbecue, sprinkle some fine salt to taste from time to time, and it didn't take long for the station to waft with an enticing aroma.
"Just sprinkle some salt and it will become so fragrant, why didn't we notice this before!" Elder Lian stared at the water snake on the barbecue grill with his eyes firmly fixed, and couldn't help but swallow.
Warriors will not have a problem if they don't eat for a few days and nights, but in the face of food, there is no distinction between ordinary people and warriors, and everyone can't help but drool when they see food.
Xia Yi looked at the baby's arm, which was as thick as a man's water snake, and couldn't help but say, "I've never seen such a long and thick water ...... Water snake, I don't know how to bake such a big water snake, whether the heat and time are well controlled, you can taste it first, if it is not fully cooked, I will roast it for a while. ”
Without waiting for Xia Yi to make a move, a cold light flashed, and even the elder took up the knife and fell, cut off a piece of water snake, cut off a piece of meat from it, and said after tasting it carefully: "It's ripe and it tastes good." ”
Xia Yi pointed to the spice dish spread out on the wooden board and said, "It's more fragrant to eat with dipping." ”
Elder Lian and Yang Zhangzhen moved quickly, and according to Xia Yi's instructions, they quickly ate with their mouths full of oil.
Seeing this scene, Xia Yi couldn't be happier, when he came to the place of trial, he finally had his own place to use.
Don't look at the three water snakes are long and thick, but they can't stop the appetite of Xia Yi and the others, and after a while, the three water snakes are gone, only the air is still wafting with their body fragrance.
Xia Yi sat by the campfire, watching the light outside the gap in the leaves getting darker and darker, and asked Elder Lian with some expectation, "What surprises will there be at night?"
Elder Lian sold the guanzi: "You will know when the time comes." ”
Before the time came, the three of them were idle and bored, and at Yang Zhangzhen's suggestion, they sat around the bonfire and began to exchange experiences in the Tao Te Ching. Of course, in the hearts of Elder Lian and Yang Zhangzhen, they pay more attention to Xia Yi's experience, perhaps in the hearts of many people, Xia Yi's experience of the Tao Te Ching belongs to "orthodoxy".
Xia Yi understands that no matter which world it is, people have a very persistent pursuit of "orthodoxy", which permeates almost every corner of the world.
This is not right or wrong, but here, being regarded as "orthodox" by people makes Xia Yi very embarrassed and frightened. This is not very his thing, but he uses it to deal with the situation, but by accident he turns out that he is "orthodox", and this absurdity makes him constantly remind himself not to take this for granted.
Unconsciously, the three of them were very engaged in their discussion, and when Elder Lian raised his head to observe the light between the gaps in the leaves, he couldn't help but pat his head.
"How did I forget the time!?" Elder Lian hurriedly stood up and looked around quickly.
At this time, Xia Yi and Yang Zhangzhen came back to their senses from their previous discussion, and then they remembered that even the elder had said that there would be surprises at night, and they all hurriedly stood up.
"Where's the surprise?" Xia Yixue looked around with the appearance of Elder Lian and found that there was no surprise.
"The surprise is not here. Elder Lian silently calculated the distance and time, and said to the two: "If we speed up, we may be able to see a 'tail', or maybe we won't see anything, do you still want to go?"
"Of course I want to go!" Xia Yi immediately said: "Anyway, it's okay to stay here, it's better to give it a try, maybe you can see a surprise!"
At this time, Xia Yi probably had an idea in his heart, even the so-called surprise of the elder was probably some kind of shocking natural scene.
The three of them didn't talk much nonsense, and hurried according to the queue they had traveled before, and after about a quarter of an hour, the three of them came to a dense jungle.
The weeds here do not scrape people's legs and feet, but scrape people's faces, and the cilia on the weeds scrape the surface of people's skin, irritating the skin and itching unbearably.
Xia Yi faintly heard a loud roar, which seemed to be the sound of water. Walking through the tall bushes and grass, the sound got closer and closer, at this time, Xia Yi reacted, this sound should be the sound of the waterfall, and they came to the upstream of the waterfall where the water snake was caught.
Picking up the weeds and shrubs in front of them, what appeared in front of the three of them was a turbulent river, the river was about ten meters wide, the water was quite rapid, and it rushed to the cliff in front of it with a roar, and then fell from the air to the bottom of the cliff, making a huge roar.
"What is this?!"
Xia Yi and Yang Zhangzhen's eyes widened instantly, looking at the magical scenery on the river, they couldn't help but lose their minds.
On the surface of the turbulent river, there is a "ribbon" that exudes a soft halo like moonlight floating, stretching for several miles, and the "ribbon" that exudes a halo seems to cover the surface of the river, constantly rising and falling, floating.
Elder Lian, who had always popularized the knowledge of the trial land to Xia Yi and Yang Zhangzhen, also shook his head at this time, saying that he didn't know what it was.
"We tried to observe this in many ways, but unfortunately we found that the probing aura could not be approached, and every time we leaned out of the jungle, we would find that there was an invisible wall that blocked the aura from the outside, and could not get close to the 'light belt'. Elder Lian looked at the dreamlike ribbon of light and said softly.
"Can't use the aura to probe?" Yang Zhangzhen frowned.
He took the initiative to release his aura to get close to the river, and sure enough, as Elder Lian said, just as he was about to leave the jungle, his aura stagnated, and no matter how hard he tried, he couldn't get close to the river to find out.
"It's the same as the wall?" Xia Yi muttered and said to Yang Zhangzhen: "Try to go up along the 'wall' to see if you can cross the isolation of the 'wall', this 'wall' can't always lead to the sky, and always isolate the aura!
Yang Zhangzhen nodded, controlled his aura, and walked up the "wall".
