377, Yinshan City
Three people take a mission to investigate, which is rare, although Yuan Ningzi said that the situation in Xuan Iceland is complicated, Lingyu still feels that most of them are not good to watch the three of them make trouble, it is not good to be partial to any of them, so simply let the three of them take it at the same time.
It's not just her who thinks like this, Song Xu and Lu Yingfeng also know it. Although they didn't think so, they didn't object, did they really want Yuan Ningzi to choose one among them? Isn't that to make Yuan Ningzi unable to step down?
The three task tokens were handed over to them, and Yuan Ningzi said with a stinky face: "The task time limit is one month, and if you understand the rules, you can do it yourself." β
According to the rules of the sect's mission, unless there are special circumstances, no remuneration shall be allowed for exceeding the task time limit, and the three of them did not go for the reward when they received the task, but just responded. A month's mission time, even if you add the cost of rushing in the middle, is enough.
After Yuan Ningzi left, Lingyu and the other three did not leave immediately, they glared at each other for a while, and Lu Yingfeng asked, "What do you think?" β
She couldn't make it clear, but the other two understood. Lingyu said: "What does Senior Sister Lu think? β
Lu Yingfeng said: "It's just a reconnaissance mission, there's no need to be together, right?" β
"Separate and each to his own?"
Lu Yingfeng didn't answer, but looked at Song Xu.
Song Xu said coldly: "I never go on a mission with others. β
This tone, this face, is really inadequate! Lu Yingfeng secretly gritted his teeth and said angrily: "That's just right, I didn't want to be with you." β
Having said that, there was no need to continue, and the three of them left the consular hall and went back to their respective nests.
Lingyu didn't pack up her things and leave immediately. Instead, he ran to Guanyun Peak to find Cheng Xiaoyu.
Cheng Xiaoyu doesn't like to deal with people. It's a bit cold to outsiders. But because of his superb skill in cultivating elixir, many people came to ask for advice, and he knew quite a lot of people, and he could often know some gossip.
The time when she arrived at Guanyun Peak was just right, and Cheng Xiaoyu happened to send off a guest: "Senior sister, your task is complete?" β
Over the months, he had adapted to Lingyu's rhythm with each task she had completed. I will adjust the time for a few days, and the last time I came was the day before yesterday, so it stands to reason that I should take the task.
Lingyu waved his hand, moved a stone bench and sat next to him to watch him loosen the soil for the elixir: "I haven't gone yet." β
"Why?" Cheng Xiaoyu asked casually.
"Alas......" Lingyu told him what happened in the consular hall, and finally said, "I think this task may not be so simple, so let's see if you have heard any rumors." β
It stands to reason that the task of the Yudan period. The foundation monks can't reach it. However, Xuan Iceland is a little famous in Lingcang, if something happens. There may already be news circulating.
"Xuan Iceland?" Cheng Xiaoyu thought for a while, "I did hear a piece of news a few days ago, I don't know if it is related to this matter." β
"What?"
"Hmm...... It seems to say,The monster of Xuan Iceland escaped or something.,I don't know the specifics.γ β
Lingyu remembered the content on the task scroll, and a disciple reported that the Xuan Ice on Xuan Iceland began to melt, and the number of monsters increased, so it was reported to the sect.
Thanks to the leakage of the Ming Yuan a hundred years ago, Xuan Iceland was surrounded by the Qi of the Ming Yuan, and the strength of the original monsters inside had greatly increased, and the Zhuji monks could no longer enter the inner island. That's why Genningko hung this quest on the Yudan scroll.
Cheng Xiaoyu is not a bag after all, and I don't know what the inside story is.
Lingyu was full of questions, and when she returned to Tianchi Peak, she probably cleaned up and set off.
Perform the escape technique and fly to Lingyun City, and then directly pass through the GuΓ² Teleportation Array to Yinshan City, which is closest to Xuan Iceland.
Xuan Iceland is located in the northeast of the mausoleum, hanging in a lonely corner, and the nearest to it is the Ghost Crying Mausoleum. This mysterious sect of the Demon Dao was built on the seashore, half on land and half in the sea, facing Xuan Iceland from afar.
On the side of the Ghost Crying Mausoleum, there is a low mountain range, which is full of yin and gloomy, and there are zΓ i natural yin veins, which are called Yin Mountain. Yinshan City is located in the Yin Mountain, and unlike other immortal cities, it is not built on the mountain, but is directly embedded in the basin surrounded by the Yinshan Mountain Range, and it is impossible to find it without a guΓ² teleportation array or a flying boat.
This is the characteristic of Yinshan City. The Ghost Crying Mausoleum is one of the five major demon gates, but it rarely goes out and about, and it is very mysterious in the eyes of outsiders. A hundred years ago, the demon cultivators invaded, and the ghost cried the tomb to fight, and the monks of Lingcang knew something about it. This sect, similar to the White Bone Temple, plays with corpses, but the White Bone Temple plays with bones, and they play with ...... Probably a kind of ghost.
The five major sects of the Demon Gate, the Netherworld Sect is good at the art of the Netherworld, the Seven Killing Valley belongs to the blood-shattering branch, the Senluo Temple cultivates the recipe of life and death, the White Bone Temple fiddles with skeletons, and the Ghost Crying Tomb drives the Yin Spirit. Among them, the Ghost Crying Tomb is the most similar to the ghost cultivator, and it is gloomy, not like a living person.
Therefore, most of the people gathered in Yinshan are monks who practice this way, and they don't like outsiders and hate to see the sun, so this Yinshan city is built secretly, and ordinary people can't enter.
Lingyu came out of the teleportation array, feeling that it was gray in front of her, and she couldn't see it really.
This is the characteristic of Yin Mountain, the spiritual veins of this mountain are biased towards the negative, the yin qi is pervasive, and there is no sunlight for many years, and the sky above the city is always shrouded in a layer of gray fog, blocking the view.
In this kind of place, the Jiedan monks have no effect, and if the foundation building and qi refining monks have lived in Yinshan City for a long time, they are afraid that they will be affected, and they may even lack vitality.
Walking out of the teleportation hall, Lingyu took a look. Sure enough, the scale of Yinshan City is very small, not comparable to the immortal city of millions of characters, at most it is the scale of a town. Most of the monks who live here are gloomy, gray-faced, stiff in walking, and rigid in tone, like zombies.
Standing on the street, you can't hear the sound of shouting at all, and the business people just silently guard the shop, or set up a stall, waiting for customers to come. Even, when the two monks bargained, the tone was not fluctuating, and they did not feel angry.
No wonder some people call Yinshan City a ghost town, and it is really creepy for living people to stand here.
Most of the people who come and go are demon cultivators, and other cultivators are rare here, and they don't like to come unless necessary.
Lingyu rubbed shoulders with a foundation-building monk. This person was wearing a shroud, and it seemed that the joints of his whole body were stiff, and he walked very strangely, as if he was jumping and jumping. Beside her, there was a black monster, with a huge head, short limbs, no facial features, not walking, but floating, with a strange aura on its body, she sensed the aura of the abyss, and guessed that this thing was probably the monster of Xuan Iceland.
It is said that there is such a monster growing in Xuan Iceland, similar to the Yin Soul, the general strength is ordinary, the spiritual intelligence is not high, after calcination can get a material called black chalcedony, when Xuan Iceland was not covered by the breath of the abyss, there are often monks come to hunt this thing, earn spirit stones.
The monks of the Devil's Crying Tomb are blessed, and they will take the good intelligence and strength of the tomb for their own use, just like ordinary monks with spirit beasts, for riding or fighting.
Now that the aura of the Xuan Iceland Shangming Abyss is pervasive, few monks will go to the temple, and the production of black chalcedony has been greatly reduced, but it has made the Ghost Crying Tomb make a lot of money.
Lingyu walked for a while, and saw that there was a shop next to the street, which was quite wonderful, and a formation was set up at the door to isolate the yin qi, and it was also an ordinary Taoist cultivator sitting inside.
She thought for a moment and stepped inside.
Seeing her come in, the elderly foundation building monk hurriedly stood up: "This senior. β
Lingyu looked around, his shop pΓΉ, selling very common spirit weapons and spirit runes in the fairy city outside, the quality is very ordinary, and the price is a bit high.
She pointed to the spiritual artifact on the counter and asked, "Isn't it a bit out of place to sell these things in Yinshan City?" β
This foundation building monk recognized the sect mark on her robe, and did not dare to slack off, and replied honestly: "The seniors don't know, in Yinshan City, there is also a general Taoist cultivation life of the juniors, and they need to go to other immortal cities to buy what they need for cultivation, and it takes a lot of money to come and go. The younger generation took a trick and opened such a shop here, and he didn't make much money, but he barely made enough to live. β
Lingyu nodded slightly. I see, she doesn't know how to do business, it turns out that there is still this.
"Dare to ask the seniors, come to Yinshan City for shopping? The younger generation mainly does the same business, in addition to selling these ordinary Dan charms, in addition to buying Yinshan specialties, if the seniors need something, the younger generations can serve. β
The old monk was flexible in his business. Lingyu casually threw him a spirit stone and said, "There is no need for special products, I will buy some news from you, and if you are satisfied, there will be another reward." β
There was not much spirit stone, and the old monk was not very interested, but when he heard that there was another reward, he immediately showed a courteous smile: "Senior, please ask, the junior must know everything." β
Lingyu asked, "You have been in Yinshan City for many years, do you know the news of Xuan Iceland?" β
"Xuan Iceland?" The old monk looked at her suspiciously, "Xuan Iceland is the closest to the Ghost Weeping Tomb, and Ling Cang knows the most about it, and it is our monk from Yinshan City." It's just that a hundred years ago, Xuan Iceland was already covered by the aura of the Ming Abyss, and the seniors asked what it was doing? β
Lingyu waved her hand: "You don't have to care what I do, just answer my questions." β
"Yes." The old monk hurriedly put away his doubts and answered respectfully. For casual cultivators like them, the monk is a high-ranking being, and he must not be offended, even if Lingyu is not paid at all, he does not dare not answer the question. Of course, without the drive of money, it will not be so attentive.
"Have you heard of any strange phenomena in Xuan Iceland these days?"
The old monk thought for a moment and said, "The junior did hear a news a few days ago, there is a fellow Taoist who wanted to go to Xuan Iceland to hunt and kill Yin Monsters a few months ago, but he almost broke inside, saying that there are countless Yin Monsters in Xuan Iceland. β
"Shade Monsters?"
The old monk explained: "It is the monster that produces black chalcedony, and we call it the Yin Monster. At present, the price of black chalcedony is too high, and several colleagues are very greedy. β
Lingyu nodded, indicating understanding, and continued to ask: "What else, you can tell me about it." The more you say, the more you get paid. β
"Yes." The old monk's eyes lit up, and he spoke very enthusiastically. (To be continued......)
