"Cheng Daoyou!" In the medicine field, someone shouted loudly.

Lingyu turned her head and found that it was Jiang Yuanbai, who was in charge of the medicine field on the other side.

Jiang Yuanbai is a chubby young man with a smile on his face. He has been taking refuge in the Xu family for more than ten years, and he is enthusiastic and very popular. Lingyu and Fang He had just arrived, and he had helped a lot.

"Let's have a discussion meeting in the evening, you and Fang Daoyou can come together!"

Lingyu answered.

Jiang Yuanbai is quite enthusiastic about the Tao, his cultivation is close to the tenth level, and the inferior exercises can no longer meet the needs of cultivation, and the high-level exercises are strict and require a lot of contributions in exchange, which is because he has been trying to find a solution from the experience of others.

In the evening, Lingyu and Fang He went to Jiang Yuanbai's residence.

Compared with the simple wooden house where the two of them lived, Jiang Yuanbai's residence was much more exquisite. He is a man who looks like a restaurant shopkeeper with a round smile and a smile, but he is very ingenious.

The wooden house is still a wooden house, but a layer of bamboo is carefully pasted on the outside, and a pothos plant is planted outside the house, climbing up to the roof, adding a refreshing greenery. A lantern tree in front of the house is in blooming season, and the red and white lantern flowers are blooming and hanging one by one, delicate and beautiful.

If she didn't know that Jiang Yuanbai lived here, Lingyu would really think that it was the residence of a female cultivator.

In addition to the two of them, Jiang Yuanbai also invited two monks, a man and a woman, one with a seventh-level qi refining and the other with an eighth-layer qi refining.

Jiang Yuanbai introduced to them: "This is Di Xiuping Di Daoyou. This is the time and the moon are the Taoist friends. ”

After the ceremony, the four sat around the campfire.

The sky is getting dark, and the night breeze is slightly cool. Several people are in good spirits. Serving the medicine field during the day. Like an old farmer, he was busy. Only then are they monks.

"I have long heard that two younger sisters have come, and they are good at cultivating elixirs, but I didn't expect to be so young." Shi Yue's appearance is about thirty, and her real age should be fifty or sixty years old, and her long-term work has made her look old, if she is a monk of Lingcang, she has reached this age. Generally maintain the appearance of twenty-three or four.

Looking at Lingyu and Fang He, who were no more than twenty in appearance, Shi Yue was envious. She is now at the eighth level of Qi refining, which sounds like she is not far from consummation, but she is old, and her cultivation conditions are not good, it is not easy to reach consummation at the age of seventy or eighty, and if she is more than one hundred years old, the possibility of building a foundation is very low.

"Isn't it? It's enviable to be young! Di Xiuping was young in appearance, but Lingyu could tell that his real age was over forty years old. It is one level lower than the time and moon cultivation.

"It's as if you're never young," Jiang Yuanbai said with a smile. "Rather than wasting it, let's enjoy it now."

Shi Yue and Di Xiuping nodded together, Jiang Yuanbai admired this the most, he had never seen him decadent for more than ten years, and he had always maintained a strong enterprising spirit.

The four of them began to discuss, and most of the time, Jiang Yuanbai dominated the topic.

Most of the time, Lingyu only listens and doesn't speak, and there are some differences between Monk Damengze's cognition and Ling Cangcun's, and she doesn't want to show her uniqueness. When asked about her, he only said a few short sentences, usually just to say yes or no.

Two hours later, the sermon ended. However, the five of them did not scatter, but chatted.

"Brother Jiang, you've been stuck in the ninth layer of qi refining for nearly ten years, it's not a matter if you go on like this!" Shi Yue said.

Referring to this question, Jiang Yuanbai lowered his head and said, "Why don't I know? But what can be done? If you don't contribute enough, you can't get the exercises, and you can't buy the pills that break through the realm. ”

Lingyu took a branch and wrote on the ground, listening to their chat, and suddenly asked, "Isn't there any ownerless resources around here?" ”

Shi Yue said with a smile: "Jackdaw Mountain is owned by the three surnames, and every place is a land with a master, where are there ownerless resources?" ”

Di Xiuping seemed to remember something: "Actually, it's not completely nothing. In the middle of Jackdaw Mountain is a three-way zone, where you can come and go freely. ”

Shi Yue immediately said: "Are you talking about the area of Sanglinpo?" There's no spiritual vein over there, there's no production at all, what's the use? ”

"Mulberry Slope?" Lingyu asked with interest, "What kind of place is this Mulberry Forest Slope?" ”

Shi Yue said: "If Sister Cheng pins her hopes on this, I am afraid that she will be disappointed." Sanglinpo is a piece of land in the middle of the three great families, and it is said that the scenery there is very beautiful and the mulberry forest is dense, but there is no aura, only mortal things will grow there. Also, strange things happen there from time to time, and no one usually goes there. ”

Lingyu has seen the map, and the spiritual veins of Jackdaw Mountain are relatively average, among which there are three big spiritual eyes, and the three major families have built families around this. And there is a large area in the middle, which has no spiritual veins, and this area starts from the mulberry forest slope, including the Frozen Crane Pond and the Rocky Forest.

"Strange things?" Lingyu's eyes flashed, "What kind of strange thing?" Do we monks also believe in supernatural rumors? ”

Di Xiuping waved his hand: "Cheng Daoyou, don't believe it, this is not nonsense, there was a rumor that the Yuan family monk disappeared over there a few years ago." ”

"Yes, yes, we discussed it at the time, it is said that the missing person is a monk with a foreign surname, and the foundation has been laid." As he spoke, he sighed, "Our surname is a monk, and we will survive after building a foundation, what a pity!" ”

If the foundation is successfully built, the family will not be squeezed at will as it is now, but will be treated as a sect, and the resources and exercises will be open. If there is no hope, how can the scattered cultivators be allowed to be squeezed by the family?

"Why did you disappear?" Fang He was curious, "There is no spiritual vein there, there must be nothing strange and strange, Zhuji Monk, can't you still deal with it?" ”

"Uh......" Shi Yue couldn't answer, and caught a glimpse of Jiang Yuanbai looking at them with a smile out of the corner of her eye, and stretched out her hand, "Ask Brother Jiang, he knows these things best." ”

Facing Lingyu and Fang He's gaze, Jiang Yuanbai smiled and said, "It's just a casual conversation, just listen to the two Taoist friends, don't take it seriously." ”

He said slowly: "I have been to the Xu family for many years, and rumors about Sanglinpo will rise every few years. Some people say that there are spiritual cultivators whose strength is no less than that of Yuanying, so the three major families ignore it. Some people also say that it was the place where the three great families imprisoned a certain demon cultivator. There are all kinds of rumors, and there are all kinds of things that are said. Every time rumors arise, it is accompanied by accidents where someone goes missing. Not all of these missing people did not live or die, and some came back alive, but none of them could tell what happened after they disappeared......"

"Isn't it possible that the high-ranking monks of the three great families can't figure it out?" Fang He didn't believe it.

"Here's the problem," Jiang Yuanbai said, "the upper echelons of the family don't seem to care about anyone going missing. I think there's a good chance they've probed, either they can't help it, or it just doesn't matter. ”

The more he talked, the more suspenseful he became, not only Lingyu and Fang He, but even Shi Yue and Di Xiuping were curious.

Di Xiuping thought for a while and said, "I remember, more than ten years ago, there was a Taoist friend who strayed into the Chaotic Stone Forest and disappeared for several months, I thought he wouldn't be able to come back, but one day he suddenly appeared. When asked where he went after his disappearance, he said that he was not missing at all, but only got lost in the Stone Forest and looked for several days before coming out. ”

"I've heard about it, too." Time and moon corroborate.

"Yes, the Stone Forest is the place with the most missing accidents." Jiang Yuanbai said, "I once looked at the map, and the stone forest was full of weeds and rocks, and even if there was no disappearance, it was easy to get lost. ”

Fang He shuddered when he was said: "So weird? ”

Shi Yue smiled: "Sister Fang, don't be afraid, whether the rumors are true or not, we can't tell if it's true or not." Besides, even if it's true, what does it matter if we don't go? ”

Fang He thought about it, the medicine fields were too busy, how could he have time to wander around?

"The birds and beasts there are also a bit strange," Di Xiuping said, "I have heard from a fellow Taoist before, there are flocks of birds and beasts on Sanglinpo, but there is no trace of any living creatures in the nearby rocky forest and frozen crane pond. ”

When the words fell, Jiang Yuanbai already smiled and said: "Brother Di's words are a bit strange, the mulberry forest slope is full of green trees, the climate is suitable, and birds and beasts naturally like to inhabit there." The chaotic stone forest and the frozen crane pond are all full of rocks and weeds, and the other is frozen all year round, how can birds and beasts abandon the mulberry forest slope and the frozen crane pond? ”

Di Xiuping was stunned: "It's also ...... to say"

Jiang Yuanbai spread his hands: "You see, when a rumor rises, everyone will imagine some common phenomena in weirdness, Sanglinpo may not be so weird, it is all rumors that are becoming more and more weird." ”

Everyone nodded yes.

After a few more gossips, everyone went back to rest. With their cultivation, they don't need much sleep anymore, but the errands are so heavy that they can't hold on without rest.

Lingyu returned to the wooden house and did not go out again, routinely regulating breathing and recuperating qi.

In addition to exploring the terrain of Jackdaw Mountain, her daily routine is like that of an ordinary Qi refining cultivator, as long as there is no problem with the prohibition, even if she keeps an eye on it, she will not be able to find anything abnormal.

There are often people missing in the Chaotic Stone Forest, which Xu Jibo did not mention, and she did not ask in detail. Even if he untied the knot, Xu Jibo and her would not be like normal sisters and sisters, and they wanted her to help themselves, it was a dream.

This incident was really unexpected. In this way, there are many people who have encountered that strange stone, but only Xu Jibo really got the opportunity.

She was very curious, did the high-ranking cultivators of the three great families really not know the truth about the Chaotic Stone Forest? If they know something, how can they let the juniors come and go? If they can't find out, then won't her trip be in vain?

Xu Jibo said that after she woke up, she didn't see the strange stone again, and Lingyu thought that it was likely that the machine spirit was still there, so she had a certain amount of spiritual intelligence. If even the high-ranking monks of the three great families couldn't find out, then she really didn't know for sure.

After the pranayama was over, Lingyu thought for a while and took out the map in her arms.

She has almost figured out the situation of the Xu family, and it is time to go to Sanglinpo next. (To be continued......)
