Chapter 140: Waiting for the Clouds
Hua Yu threw off Qi Ding, ran back to Liuyunguan to lock herself up, opened the booklet that Qi Feng gave her, and thought about it.
There are two possibilities for those demon Daoists in the Rong'an Hou Mansion to leave suddenly, either they leave on their own initiative or they are forced.
The former is unlikely. Hua Yu knew that those demons were bloodthirsty and didn't care about depriving their lives, their cultivation was so high, they shouldn't care about the laws maintained by the cultivation realm, if they didn't want to leave, Rong Anhou shouldn't be able to drive them away.
In other words, there might be a cultivator who is directing them to leave.
As for this master, it is almost certain that this person is the missing Yunyin, and the reason why he let these people evacuate Chang'an is also very obvious.
If he wanted to refine the elixir for these demons to keep their bodies functioning normally, then he would have to keep them within the scope of his understanding, and he didn't dare to show his face now, so he had to let them come to him.
What would I do if I were Yunyin? Hua Wei empathized, first of all, she needed a safe place to stay, and it was a vast place, and there were few people. He not only wants to settle himself, but also to settle the demon road, this place should not be in Chang'an, but it is also not far from Chang'an.
Secondly, since he wants to refine the pill, he has to open the furnace, and the high-grade pill may cause changes in the heavens when it becomes a pill, and it is very easy to be noticed, if he doesn't want to be noticed, he has to find a place where the spiritual power fluctuations are already very strong, and hide people's eyes and ears.
Then, these people he brought with him needed to change new skins from time to time, and if he wanted to keep killing people, then the place where he settled would be inaccessible and infested, and it would not be easy for people to detect that someone was missing.
Finally, and the most critical point, Hua Yu saw an elixir for alchemy in the booklet given to her by Qi Ding, called Blood Clotting Zhi, this kind of spiritual grass is not rare, it can grow in a large area in the valley where spiritual power is flourishing, the effect of this thing is to quickly coagulate blood, and it has a great effect on the recovery of those demon paths, and the amount is also large, so Yunyin is very likely to settle down in a place where Blood Clotting Zhi grows, and use local materials.
To sum up, she already has an answer in her heart.
Qingliang Mountain.
Qingliang Mountain is the place where Dayan holds the rain prayer festival every year, and the reason why there is always a rain shower there is because it is a spiritual mountain, shrouded in spiritual energy.
There is also a fierce sword called the citrus head sword sealed on the mountain, it is said that this sword was left by a general during the melee of the mainland countries hundreds of years ago, and the souls of countless dead under the sword gathered into a sword spirit, because it could not completely purify its resentment, so the Taoist who was superb at that time sealed this sword here.
At this moment, Hua Yu was already ninety percent sure, Yunyin was hiding on Qingliang Mountain, she was hesitating whether to tell her senior sister and let her take someone to arrest her.
Maybe she should go and investigate first, otherwise the senior sister will take people with great fanfare, and Gongguan may not be dissatisfied, and there will be some gossip controlled by Liuyunguan behind her back.
After making up her mind, Hua Wei simply cleaned up and slipped out of Liuyunguan.
It's not that she can't go back tomorrow, but considering that she has to avoid Qi Ding's surveillance, and be careful not to let her senior sister find out that she has broken the seal, she decided to slip away immediately, this is the peak time to go out of the city, and she will not be noticed if she mixes in.
Hua Yu thought very well, but when she passed through the city gate, Xie Tian and Xie Yao, two siblings, were returning from outside the city, and Xie Yao said casually: "Isn't that the Taiyuan Guanhua Dao Chief?
Xie Tian looked up at the dim and gloomy sky, and strange things flashed in his eyes.
"Do you want to say hello?" Xie Yao said and wanted to walk over.
Xie Tian grabbed her, "Forget it, it seems that she is in a hurry, so don't go over." After speaking, he said strangely: "You like her very much?"
"Yes, Ikebana has a peaceful temperament, no ordinary women's twisted manners, and his demeanor is frank and generous, I am happy to have a lot of contact with her, and I am thinking about inviting her to my house in the next post. ”
Xie Tian looked at his sister, but there was a little smile in his eyes that had always been expressionless, and said softly: "It's rare to have someone you like, so invite her to play at home more in the future, she has a good heart and won't brush you off." ”
"Hmm. Xie Yao became happy when he heard this, "Then I'll give her a post tomorrow, what does she like to eat?
Xie Tian shook his head, "How do I know this." ”
Xie Yao was stunned for a moment, "In this way, looking at the appearance of the eldest brother last time, I thought you were very familiar." ”
Xie Tian said: "I don't know what she likes to eat, but maybe you can ask King Huai." ”
"King Huai?"
——
Hua Yu didn't see Xie Tian's two siblings at all, and after leaving the city, she rode on the little flower donkey and went to Qingliang Mountain.
Qingliang Mountain is a spiritual mountain, and the mountain is raised all the year round, so there has always been a Taoist priest guarding the palace, and if Hua Yu wants to sneak in, she must avoid the roadblocks set up by these Taoist priests.
Originally, she wanted to ask Nangong Yi for help and swaggered in, but first, he had a tense relationship with Gongguan, and secondly, Hua Yu was not sure that Yunyin was hiding here, whether Gongguan knew about it, so she didn't go to him in the end.
It's strange enough to say that Gongguan and Cui Li seem to be allies, competing with King Huai in the court, but in the matter of colluding with evil sects, they are in cahoots with Shangyinguan, and Gongguan seems to be kept in the dark.
Hua Yu still clearly remembers that in Huaiyang Houfu, Danhe was angry and almost killed Nangong Yi, she hated Nangong Yi for forcing Huaiyang Hou to death, but she didn't seem to know what her family did in Qiongzhou.
When she thought of Danhe, Hua Wei sighed again. A good young and promising Taoist, but ruined by the worldly interests competing for life, Danhe's nature is actually not bad, but it is too easy to be induced by external objects.
King Huai doesn't like her, maybe it's not because she's a cultivator, but because she's not firm enough, right?
So what kind of person does he like? Hua Yu walked slowly in the night alone, and her heart couldn't help but be curious.
Since he has someone he likes, why don't he marry a wife? With his power in Dayan, it is not difficult to marry a woman with a decent family background, right? Unless this person's identity is complicated, so he has some scruples?
The little flower donkey snorted twice, Hua Yu came back to her senses, her face suddenly turned red, what did she think, why did she think about King Huai, who Nangong Yi liked, and who was with whom it had to do with you.
Hua Yu looked around weakly and coughed.
Coming to the outermost barrier, Hua Yu used her spiritual power, and a faint gold appeared around her body, just like the moon at night, easily passing the enchantment.
After passing through the enchantment, she arrived at Qingliang Mountain, and Hua Yu thought that Yunyin should not go to the Star Picking Platform, because the square was empty and not hidden enough, so she deliberately walked around the mountain and wanted to go to the valley.
After walking for more than an hour, she had reached the depths of the dense forest where she could not see her fingers, and the weather did not seem to be very good tomorrow, and there were dark clouds covering the moon in the sky this night, and there was not even starlight.
Hua Wei felt that she was lost, she didn't feel any evil and crooked aura along the way, and she didn't encounter any attacks, everything was quiet.
"Could it be that I guessed wrong?" said Hua Wei, tilting her head, and as she spoke, she squeezed out another drop of blood from her fingertips and smeared it on the forehead of the little flower donkey.
After waiting for a long time, she still waited for nothing, Hua Yu sighed and jumped off the donkey's back, "Don't talk about demons in this mountain, there is not even a wandering spirit, why don't you go to the top of the mountain to see?"
She saw a white rock the size of an elephant on the mountainside, and was about to sit up and rest for a while, but when she got closer, she was startled.
The white boulder is in the shape of an eyeball, from the eyelids, eyelids to the eye sockets, it really looks like one eye is staring at you, the gaze is cold and focused, and it makes people hairy.
Hua Yu was only startled, so she climbed up and sat on it and looked at the sky in a daze, not knowing what she was thinking.
It's almost winter, and before she knows it, she has spent three seasons in Chang'an, but she still hasn't found the [Misfortune], when will she be able to return to Jihua Mountain?
But maybe it's because she's been busy for nearly half a year, so she feels that life passes faster than when she was in Jihua Mountain, and the days when the master comes out of the customs are not so difficult.
She lay on her back on the grass, the grass and trees on the mountains elsewhere had withered, but the aura on the cool mountain was strong, and the grass on the ground was still very tender at this time.
Hua Wei sniffed the tip of her nose, well, it was the aroma of blood condensation mushroom.
Hua Yu sat up suddenly, and then she found that there was a large piece of blood condensation mushroom growing on the hillside where she was sitting.
She picked a little and put it on the tip of her nose and smelled it, it had just grown, and it was very fresh.
So it means that not long ago, the blood coagulation mushroom in this place should have been collected, and as for who it is, the answer is self-evident.
Hua Wei looked at the terrain, climbed the opposite slope of this hillside, and quietly squatted under a tree to guard.
Hua Wei believed that the people who picked the blood mushroom would definitely come again, so she waited here for the rabbit.
The time is not difficult, but the stone eyes facing the half-uphill slope make her feel a little gloomy.
The hard work paid off, and after she squatted for a day and a night, at dusk on the second day, she finally waited for Yunyin.
