Chapter 96: The Night of the Full Moon (1)
There are many rivers and lakes in Boyang Province, but about one-third of them are located in the eastern and central part of Icheon Province, and the Lord's Mansion of Hayang Province is located in a large lake on the west side of Icheon Province, which covers about one-sixth of the entire Icheon Province, hence the name of Lake Boyang.
There are about 10,000 islands in the lake, including 12 large islands with towns, and other islands are more or less inhabited.
On the largest island in the lake, there is a "Hongyi City" in the Daoist City of the Beneficial River, which is only more than 200 miles away from the island where the Mansion is located.
Usually, you can often see merchant ships and passenger ships coming and going in Boyang Lake, and most of the operators and passengers are ordinary mortals living in the towns in Boyang Lake, and occasionally there are spiritual practitioners who will not reveal their identities, and the spiritualists generally choose to tread water directly or simply fly over from the sky, and the rich and powerful will use floating boats to travel, but the number is very small.
But recently, there was almost no shadow of the ship in the southern part of Boyang Lake, and they all chose to hide temporarily, because the number of spiritual retreats in this area was increasing exponentially. While most spirituals disdain to fight with mortals, it is not excluded that some psychologically deformed people will make fun of mortals, and in fact there have been many such incidents. Human beings are very good at judging the situation, it is their nature to seek advantages and avoid disadvantages, in the face of the edge of spirituality, mortals will endure even if they are uncomfortable, otherwise their lives will be lost, but there will be nothing.
According to statistics, there are more than 2,000 inhabitable islands in the southern part of Boyang Lake, and the smallest one is enough for two or three people to build a small room and squeeze in, but even so, there are still many spiritual cultivators who have no harvest when looking for a place to stay, and finally they don't know where to cut a few trees to make a raft and float on the lake.
Li Qingyu and Yu Chen were lucky, when they came here, there were not so many people here, and after transferring a total of four families to Hongyi City, they occupied their residence, of course, it was not for free, they paid this family a wealth that ordinary people could not imagine in their lifetime.
The family's dwelling is not large, two tiled houses and a small courtyard, and it is located on a small island, on which there are two small villages, about a hundred miles from the nearest city, and life can only be said to be passable.
casually packed the things that were not needed in the room and threw them into Boyang Lake, looking at the room that could be described as "four walls", Li Qingyu pursed his lips and handed over the rest of the work to Yu Chen.
As a spiritual cultivator with obsessive-compulsive disorder, Yu Chen spent less than a day making two sets of wooden furniture from the wood of the three big trees outside the courtyard that could not be said to be high-end but absolutely regular and pleasing to the eye at a glance, which made Li Qingyu breathtaking.
Of course, she didn't do nothing. Although there was furniture in the room, the two of them didn't bring mattresses or anything like that, and they didn't know how to weave them, so they had to deal with them in a convenient way, such as weaving a reasonably acceptable fabric from the fibers of a soft grass unique to the island, of course, all of which was achieved with her natural skills, and it was not difficult.
When this residence was finally able to live in people, the small courtyard that was still a little dilapidated the day before suddenly looked like a wooden spiritual cave, how to look at the flowers and plants in the first courtyard How pleasing to the eye, in order to maintain the lushness of these plants and trees, Li Qingyu had to supply them with spiritual power at any time, but fortunately, it was very easy for her.
Later, when a few spiritual cultivators passed by, they guessed that there must be some spiritual cultivator who lived here at least in the Cheng Dan stage, and they left without any intention of snatching the dwelling.
Half a month passed quickly, and there was no ordinary mortal on the island where Li Qingyu and the others were located, all of them had been replaced by spiritual cultivation, and the nearby city was almost chaotic, and the conflict between local spirituality and foreign spirituality was escalating day by day, and the people from the Dao Lord's Mansion and the Mansion Lord's Mansion poured out to maintain order everywhere, and even the Boyang Mansion Lord, who had been in retreat for many years, had to go out of the customs in advance to deter Xiaoxiao.
Presumably, the people of Boyang Mansion at this time already hated the lord of Zhaoyang Mansion, right?
It all started with the last auction of the Wanbao Club.
That afternoon, not long after Li Qingyu returned to the inn, the auction went to the last item, thousands of mansion lords wearing Xuanyi mansion spiritualists distributed jade slips engraved with the map of the ruins in the crowd, and provided free service to copy the jade slips at any time, but in more than an hour, all the spiritual cultivators in Jinling City who were interested in the ruins had a map in their hands and a map description that was said to have been written by the Zhaoyang Mansion Lord himself.
Then, like locusts, these devotionals flocked to the southern part of Lake Boyang, the site marked on the map.
The reason why Yu Chen, including Yu Chen, was looking for a place to stay after they arrived, rather than hurrying to find the entrance to the ruins, was because the lord of Zhaoyang Mansion wrote in the map description:
The ruins are located in the gap between the spaces opened by Kunzu himself, except for Kunzu himself, others need to meet certain conditions to find the entrance, firstly, the entrance opens when the moon is full every month, and the clues to the entrance can be found by following the moonlight; Secondly, if you want to enter the ruins, you must ensure that you can pass through the entrance so that you will not be obliterated by the chaos of the spatial gap; Finally, the entrance is open for a limited time, and if you can't enter the ruins during this time, you'll have to wait for the next opportunity, if the ruins haven't been emptied by the people in front of you by that time.
There are still three days before the full moon, and the more impatient spiritualists have begun to fly around the lake to determine the location of the entrance in advance, and some spiritualists even live directly under the lake, wanting to take the lead. Spiritual practices that focus on prudence take advantage of this time to practice hard so that they can stay at the top of their game and be ready to face the challenges that may come their way.
Yu Chen belongs to the kind of person who can't sit still, in the past few days, he has left Li Qingyu alone at home several times and then went out to see the surrounding environment, the only harvest is to bring a lot of unique plant seeds in Boyang Lake to Li Qingyu for research.
Playing with these plant seeds, which were actually not very special, Li Qingyu's thoughts flew back to the day of the auction.
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
"Uncle Wei Li, what you want, the master asked me to send it to you."
This was the only sentence Li Qingyu heard before the door closed.
Wei Li's mentorship was a secret that the entire Huayang Mansion was curious about, because he was a master who appeared almost out of thin air, and with an apprentice he picked up, he quickly became famous throughout Huayang Mansion and even the Ten Thousand Spirits Realm. After he became famous, he single-handedly established Jingnan Mountain, a small spiritual force, and he never mentioned it himself, and no force stood up and said that this is my descendant, as if he jumped out of the stone.
Seeing him so familiar with the uncle who was speculated to be the Taishang Elder of Qinghe Valley before, she was wondering if his mentorship was related to Qinghe Valley, but the experience of her previous life told her that Wei Li was just having a relationship with some people in Qinghe Valley, and his mentorship was definitely not Qinghe Valley, but in this case, why did those Tsing Yi spiritual monks call him "Uncle Shi"?
The spiritual cultivators in Qinghe Valley call him Uncle Shi, but he himself is not a spiritual cultivator in the Qinghe Valley lineage, which means that there is a spiritual cultivator in Qinghe Valley who has the same master as him, and this master is not from Qinghe Valley.
But this is even more strange, to be called a master by the people of the Tsing Yi squad, this person is definitely not a half-registered disciple with a heritage outside the valley, it must be cultivated by Qinghe Valley in his own spiritual system, spiritual cultivation attaches great importance to the teacher, a spiritual cultivation usually does not have two masters, let alone a big force like Qinghe Valley, how can that person have a master who is not a spiritual cultivator in Qinghe Valley?
The more I thought about it, the more strange it became, Li Qingyu pinched the freshly ripened grass seed in his hand, watching it sprout between his fingers, pull stems and grow leaves, and then bloom a small pink flower, always feeling that he must have something he didn't think of, and this clue that he missed was to be able to know the decisive information about Wei Li's inheritance.
Back at the residence, Yu Chen saw Li Qingyu holding her chin on the table with one hand, and holding a plant in a daze with the other, while the chair she was sitting on and the table in front of her were already overgrown with unknown plants, and they were still growing slowly, and they were about to drown her completely.
"What are you doing here?" Yu Chen felt a little inexplicably creepy about this phenomenon, although those flowers and plants were very good-looking, and the verdant appearance was also vibrant, but the scene in front of him reminded him of the corpse of a rotting mouse he had seen when he was a child, and there were a few blue-green mold spots on the small piece of carrion, and there were a few dwarf plants in the middle of the mold spots that looked very cute, and countless ants were constantly shuttling between the carrion, and that scene left an indelible impression on his young heart, I had nightmares for days.
"Huh?" Li Qingyu turned his head to look at Yu Chen a little dazedly, but found that his vision was blocked by a few leaves, and he suddenly came to his senses, "Ah...... It's a bit distracted. ”
Without the support of spiritual power, the plants that grew on the tables and chairs instantly withered, turned into ashes and fell to the ground, leaving only a few tiny traces on the wooden tables and chairs to prove that they existed.
Without those flowers and plants, Yu Chen felt much better, and took a few steps forward and sat opposite Li Qingyu: "Tonight is the night of the full moon, the people outside are a little impatient, you can see people fighting everywhere, the situation at night will only be worse than now, I regret bringing you here." ”
Li Qingyu blinked and smiled: "I'm afraid that something will happen to me, you might as well leave me in your small courtyard and not even let me go down the mountain, that would be safer." ”
Yu Chen was obviously a little surprised to hear such an answer, because in his impression, this girl was a person who was very afraid of trouble and liked to be quiet, it seems that she has grown up these days.
The guilt in Yu Chen's heart disappeared in an instant.
