Chapter 47: Maoshan Inn
Lin Jing packed up his mood and entered Lanzhou Mansion, it was noon, he had been with Ah Lang for more than a month, and he had learned a lot of things, and he was no longer the chick who had just entered Wutong Town. He first found a noodle restaurant, ate a bowl of noodles, and then walked around the city of Lanzhou.
Before, Ma Dahai told Lin Jing that when he arrived in Lanzhou City, he was going to find a shop called "Maoshan Inn", but Lin Jing asked all the way, and no one had heard of Maoshan Inn, but fortunately, he was dressed as a Taoist priest, and no one thought it was strange.
Lin Jing spent most of the day and traveled half of Lanzhou City, but he didn't get any news of the Maoshan Inn, so he found an inn to live in. The next morning, he continued to search, from the east of the city to the west of the city, just as he was about to go to the north of the city to search, someone stopped him: "Little donor, are you looking for Maoshan Inn?"
Lin Jing looked back and found that it was a middle-aged man who was also wearing a Taoist robe, and he couldn't help but be overjoyed, and said, "Exactly!
The Taoist smiled slightly and said, "You and I are originally fellow Daoists, I am a few years older than you, and I know a little bit about Maoshan Inn." ”
"Then may I ask the chief, where is the Maoshan Inn?" Lin Jing asked anxiously, in three days, it will be the day when Ma Dahai told him that the Maoshan Sect will accept disciples, and if he doesn't find the Maoshan Sect again, he is afraid that he will not be able to enter the Maoshan Sect to learn the arts.
"Walk along this gate, go all the way, and you will find the Maoshan Inn. The Taoist pointed to Simon and said.
Lin Jing looked out over the west gate, and saw that there were two roads, a wide official road and a small road, and asked, "Dao Chief, should I take the avenue or the trail?"
"Whether it's an avenue or a trail, it's all the same everywhere it leads. The Taoist said.
Looking at the meaning of the Dao Chief, it seems that both roads can reach the Maoshan Inn, he doesn't want to say, and I don't want to ask again, it's a big deal to take the wrong road, and then turn back and change the other! Lin Jing made up his mind in his heart, bowed to the Dao Chief, and said, "Thank you, Dao Chief." ”
The Taoist smiled and waved his hand, but did not answer.
Lin Jing walked out of the west gate, and there were many people rushing on the official road, but he walked forward along the sheep intestine path, there were few people along the way, and the farther he went, the more trees there were around, and finally he came to the edge of a forest.
The path disappeared by the edge of the woods.
It seemed that he was going to pass through this forest, Lin Jing was not in a hurry to get into the woods, he walked around the periphery of the woods unhurriedly, and after confirming that there was indeed no other way to go, he walked into the woods.
The woods were densely wooded, and there were fallen leaves everywhere under his feet, Lin Jing had a particularly hard time walking, he was afraid that Xiaobai would return to the woods and would have the idea of escaping, so he hurriedly took Xiaobai out of the package and hugged it to his chest.
After continuing to touch a stick of incense, Lin Jing finally walked out of the woods, but he was startled by the scene in front of him: skeletons scattered on the ground everywhere, and several graves scattered here and there.
It's a mass grave!
How could this be? Could it be that we are going the wrong way?
Lin Jing has been afraid of seeing dead people's bones since he was a child, although he has been training with Ma Dahai for a period of time, and has personally experienced Qian Ah Si and the zombie incident, but the fear of skeletons in his bones still makes him shudder.
Do you want to go back?
Is that man lying to me?
Lin Jing's heart was so confused that he was almost losing his square inch, and at this moment, the picture of his father Lin Kun's tragic death suddenly appeared in his mind.
No! I don't want to be a coward! I want to avenge my father and mother! The nostalgia for his parents and the hatred for the corpse made him calm down in his cultivation, and he slowly walked a few steps forward, while looking around, trying to find a way forward from the mass grave.
"Whew"!
A strange noise caught Lin Jing's attention, he turned his head to look, and found that a skeleton had actually stood up! Then, the skeletons around him all stood up and slowly walked towards him.
This frightened Lin Jing, his heart was raised to his throat, and he wanted to run away, but at this moment, he suddenly found that every skeleton standing up seemed to be the same height and size, and there was a black bone on the left side of his chest, at first glance, it was even about the same position!
How could it be so coincidental? Lin Jing boldly guessed: Perhaps, this is a test? Those who do not have courage are destined to be eliminated!
Thinking of this, Lin Jing took a step forward and walked forward. Strange to say, when those skeletons saw him walking forward, they all stopped and let him move forward, which strengthened Lin Jing's thoughts: This is a test!
It seems that the Taoist didn't lie to me! Lin Jing was no longer panicked, but was a little happy. He walked a mile forward, and sure enough, he found a path!
Further along the path, he saw another grove. This time, without hesitation, he went straight into the woods, and when he got out of the woods, he saw a great river as wide as a hundred feet! The surface of the river was calm without even a trace of ripples, like a smooth mirror.
And by the river, there was a chubby little boy with a bare head, he heard footsteps, turned around and said, "Are you also here to study art in Maoshan Sect?"
Lin Jing nodded, and was about to speak, but the fat boy ran over, grabbed his wrist, and dragged him towards the river.
"My name is Tong Xiaojie, what is your name? You can pass the first level, you must be very bold, my father has studied spells with the demon hunter of the Laoshan faction for a few years, and he is half a demon hunter, is your father and mother also a demon hunter? I am eight years old this year, how old are you......" Tong Xiaojie asked several questions in a row, and after Lin Jing reported his name, he didn't know where to start, and he couldn't answer.
Tong Xiaojie didn't care, and continued to say to himself: "Look, if we want to pass this level, we must cross this river, but this river water can't be touched at all, put your fingers in it, and it will be gone all of a sudden!"
When Lin Jing heard this, he was shocked: The water of this river is incomparably clear, how can it be so powerful! He suspiciously picked up a branch from the ground, put it into the water and stirred it gently, and took it out to see that half of it was missing!
The water of this river is really weird!
"Look, I'm right!" Tong Xiaojie said proudly: "Lin Jing, I just looked around this area and found that there are a few boats over there, I guess it's useful, I'll take you to see it." ”
He led Lin Jing to the side of the woods, gently brushed aside the dense branches and leaves, and there were three small boats lying quietly, not large in size, which could only accommodate three to four people at the same time.
"I guess we'll have to get through this boat. Tong Xiaojie said: "But how can I get there without oars?"
Lin Jing thought for a while and said, "We can pick up more branches, although they will be melted by the river, as long as there are enough of them, we can still pass." ”
"Hmm...... Then listen to you!" Tong Xiaojie thought for a moment and said briskly. The two went their separate ways and each picked up a large pile of twigs and put them in the boat.
"This boat is not sinking at all!" Tong Xiaojie and Lin Jing pushed the boat hard, and found that the boat was very light, the two quickly came to the river bank, easily pushed the boat into the river, splashed the boss's water, and frightened them to run back with their heads in their hands.
"Fortunately, it didn't splash on the two of us, otherwise we would have to make a few holes!" Tong Xiaojie stuck out his tongue and breathed a sigh of relief. The two looked at each other and smiled, and returned to the shore.
"Ahh
"What can I do!" Tong Xiaojie sat on the ground, and said with a sad face: "I don't think I can pass this level......"
Lin Jing was also very disappointed, but he had the experience of the first level and firmly believed that there would be a way to pass the level, so he did not give up, but walked around the river. Although the river is wide, the length is only three or four miles, and when Lin Jing walked to the middle of the river, he found a long rope stretching out of the woods!
The long rope is only one finger thick, transparent and snow-white, as if it is made of it, suspended in mid-air, and if you don't look closely, you can't find it at all.
"Hey, did you also come to Maoshan Sect to learn art?"
At this moment, Tong Xiaojie's subtle voice sounded behind Lin Jing, and he turned his head and saw a boy with thin cheeks walking out of the woods from a distance.
