Chapter 154, Qingyun Town
Leaving the Ice Stone Tower, Lu Yun and Lao Dao hit the road together and headed south. On the way, Lao Dao told Lu Yun about the purpose of their trip.
The Reaper's Soul Snatcher Curse is very powerful, and it can turn the living into a dead soul. Thousands of years ago, many heroes were cursed by it and eventually became its slaves. The Necronomicon Legion relied on the Imperius Curse to replenish itself, spreading like a plague so rapidly that humanity could not destroy them.
However, everything in the world has its own way of restraint. Although the Imperius Curse is terrifying, there is still a restrain it, and that is the fairy spirit grass.
According to legend, the fairy grass is a sacred grass cultivated by the ancient gods, with majestic vitality and special for killing dead things. This grass will grow a leaf every hundred years, extremely precious, regarded as the treasure of the town temple by Lanruo Temple, only the great opportunity, can get a leaf.
According to legend, thousands of years ago, there was a living example of people using fairy grass blades to heal a general with a soul snatching curse.
Hearing these legends, Lu Yun frowned: "Presumably, our trip will be very difficult, and people may not be willing to give alms." ”
"They will certainly not give you handouts. Hehe, don't look at me like this, let's go to Lanruo Temple this time, originally to grab the fairy spirit grass. ”
After a few hours of travel, they first traveled west through Silver Moon City, then south through Qingfeng Plain, passed through the ghost town of mass graves, and continued south into Qingluan Mountain.
The mountain is undulating, and the top of the mountain is not high, but it is quite imposing.
In the night, everyone began to climb the mountain. On the mountain road, the pine waves are bursting, the birds are singing and the insects are hissing, which has the atmosphere of the mountains. After walking for a while, the road ahead became wider, and from time to time you would encounter some players passing by, all of whom were around level 40.
After walking for a while, the people came halfway up the mountain. There is a small town here, called Qingyun Town, which is quite large, but there are no living people in the town, and it is all some wandering lonely ghosts. As soon as he entered the town, a male ghost dressed as an ordinary townsman floated over. Lu Yun shot four consecutive attacks, killing this level 41 undead monster in a blink of an eye.
Walking in the town, you will see the ghosts of the townspeople, and the houses in the town are all dilapidated, and it is roughly estimated that this place has been abandoned for at least a few decades. "Ancient, this is a ghost town, there is no living person, where to find the fairy spirit grass?" Seeing such a situation, Lu Yun felt that he had been deceived, and glanced at Gu Wen beside him with an unkind expression.
"If there is grass, what do you want to do? Does your grass grow on the living? Gu Wen glanced at Lu Yun disapplauded. Holding up the finger in his hand, he chanted the words, and after a while, he said, "I assure you with my personality that the fairy spirit grass is in the Lanruo Temple." ”
"Your personality is only worth a few gold coins...... the corners of Lu Yun's mouth twitched twice, and he didn't reveal the words in his heart.
"Do you know why this is a ghost town?"
"How do I know?"
"Okay, let me tell you about it, this is a past story related to fairy spirit grass." As Gu Wen walked, he told Lu Yun about the past of Lanruo Temple and Qingyun Town.
Qingluan Mountain, originally a famous mountain in the boundary of Yinyue City, Lanruo Temple on the mountain, is a thousand-year-old temple, famous all over the world.
The name of Lanruo Temple lies in the fairy grass, the grass is fragrant and fragrant, it is refreshing to smell it, if you can get one of its leaves to make tea, you can prolong your life. Therefore, many people come here every year, just to ask for a fairy.
A hundred years ago, a Taoist priest named Fu Ping came here for longevity. However, the two schools of Buddhism and Taoism are already strangers, and the abbot despises Fu Ping's obsession to seek immortality. The two quarreled over this, and eventually, Fu Ping was kicked out of Lanruo Temple.
This move of Lanruo Temple angered Fu Ping, and in a fit of rage, he poisoned the monks of the temple and the people of Qingyun Town, and even manipulated their souls with occult methods, making them become lonely ghosts and entrenched in the mountains.
After getting the fairy spirit grass, Fu Ping was crazy, thinking that with the help of the fairy leaf, he could obtain immortality. However, it backfired, and after taking seven or eight fairy spirit leaves in a row, his body couldn't withstand the majestic aura, and finally died violently. After his death, he left his soul in Lanruo Temple with the method of soul control, and still obsessively guarded the fairy spirit grass and refused to let others take it away.
After talking, the two arrived at Lanruo Temple. The temple is located in a col in the east of the town, and under the shade of green trees, the courtyard walls are broken and overgrown with weeds, making it look ghostly.
In the temple, many players with more than 40 levels were leveling up, and when those people saw Lu Yun coming with an NPC, they all thought that there was a strange fate, and rushed forward to show their enthusiasm to the old way.
"Dao Chief, are you here to hunt ghosts? I have a family heirloom to catch ghosts**, and I can help the Taoist. ”
"Dao Chief, I am a teacher of the Maoshan faction, and I am of the same origin as you, if there is anything, you can tell me."
Those players tried their best to get close to the ancient Wentao. However, Gu Wen looked at him coldly, his fingers on the spell, and ignored it at all.
"There's no such thing as a miracle here." Lu Yun kindly reminded these crazy players.
"You want to be exclusive, don't you?"
A swordsman snorted coldly, seeing that Lu Yun had no special effects on all his equipment, he raised his sword eyebrows, and took a step towards him with his head held high, as if he wanted to teach him a lesson.
Lu Yun chuckled lightly, and his right hand moved to the hilt of the frost pattern sword, if this guy dared to make a move, he would make him regret it.
However, after a shield battle scanned Lu Yun's information, he immediately dragged the swordsman and whispered, "Don't be impulsive, this person is an iron-blooded boss, not easy to mess with." When the swordsman heard this, his body trembled involuntarily, and he laughed dryly, and turned to go away with the shield battle.
"It's a shame, I thought I could see a good fight." Lao Dao brushed his long beard and said with a disappointed expression.
"Hurry up and find the fairy spirit grass, Dao Chief! Haven't you heard that saving people is like fighting fire? ”
Under Lu Yun's urging, Lao Dao finally took a step, passed through several monasteries, and came to the dark depths. Here, there is a tall tower.
Looking at the pitch-black giant tower, Lao Dao's eyes flashed with a glimmer of light, and he pointed forward: "Yes, the fairy spirit grass is in the tower, and I already feel Fu Ping's breath." ”
When he entered this courtyard, Lu Yun had already seen the giant tower. It's not very tall, but the base covers a very large area, estimated to be at least a few hundred square meters, which makes it stand out from the rest.
There were six female players standing in front of the tower, talking to each other, pointing at the giant tower, and it seemed that they also wanted to enter the tower. Lu Yun glanced at it, and his heart was suddenly shocked, he actually saw the beautiful deputy gang leader of Qingfeng Pavilion, Hua Ruoxian!
At a glance, Hua Ruoxian also saw Lu Yun, and after being slightly startled, she walked over with someone and asked, "Jian Shuai, why are you here too?" Didn't you level up in Coldwind Canyon? Behind her, Qingfeng Yanan and other acquaintances also nodded to Lu Yun.
Lu Yun replied after returning the salute one by one: "Come and do the task." ”
"Hehe, boy, I didn't expect you to know so many beautiful girls, introduce me to them." Seeing the beauty, Lao Dao's eyes seemed to be full of peach hearts, and he immediately revealed an obscene look that did not match his age.
"Who is this old man?" The beauties of Qingfeng Pavilion despised the old Taoist priest one after another, and then set their eyes on Lu Yun.
Lu Yun smiled bitterly: "He's an NPC, he and I came here to do a mission to find fairy spirit grass." ”
"Fairy spirit grass can prolong life, and after taking it, it can keep your youth long. A few girls, if you are interested, let's go all the way with the old way. Lao Dao immediately added.
However, the old words did not arouse the interest of the beauties, Hua Ruoxian looked at the giant tower behind him and asked, "Do the task?" Is it also in this tower? ”
"Yes, are the girls on the same road? Let's brave the ghost tower together. Lao Dao said with a smile.
"However, this tower can't get in, we have tried for a long time, but we can't do it." Hua Ruo looked at Lu Yun and said, ignoring Old Gu Wen at all.
"This tower has been set up by someone, so it can't be entered. However, there is an old way, and the girls don't have to worry. Lao Dao continued to flatter.
Hua Ruoxian walked to Lu Yun's side and whispered, "This NPC is really strange, does he really have a way to open this tower?" ”
"I guess so." Lu Yun patted the old man, "Dao Chief, don't talk nonsense, open the tower door quickly." ”
"Howler!"
Lao Dao suddenly put away his strategy, walked a few steps towards the giant tower, took out a rune, recited a spell between his fingers, stretched out his hand and threw it, and the rune flew towards the tower door.
"Phew!" The air rippled like water waves, and five thunderbolts appeared out of thin air, and with a bang, the rune paper was shattered, burning into ashes in an instant.
"Ahem!" Lao Dao seemed to be shocked a little, and he clutched his chest with a painful expression, muttering to himself: "The Five Ghost Yin Thunder Array, it's so powerful!" ”
"Dao Chief, can you do it?"
Qingfeng Yanan's eyes were full of suspicion, which made Lao Dao greatly stimulated: "Although these five ghost yin thunder arrays are powerful, they are not unbreakable......" He pretended to shake his head, waiting for others to ask, however, Lu Yun and the others just looked at him and didn't say anything at all, so he had to say it himself.
The Five Ghosts Yin Thunder Array, composed of the resentment of the five elements of gold, wood, water, fire, and earth, is extremely powerful and can smash all objects that try to break into the formation. Fortunately, he had already taken precautions, and brought the five element spirit stones needed to break it, and he only needed to place these five element spirit stones on top of the five array eyes of the Five Ghost Yin Thunder Array with the principle of mutual restraint, and he could break this formation.
After finishing speaking, Lao Dao went to look for the array alone, and Lu Yun chatted with Hua Ruo about the purpose of their trip. It turned out that Hua Ruoxian had a strange fate mission, one of which required entering the Chongning Tower, killing the evil ghost Taoist Fu Ping and obtaining his soul.
After learning that their purpose did not conflict with his own purpose, Lu Yun relaxed and agreed with them that everyone would do tasks together to fight the boss, and each would take what he needed, and as for the equipment, whoever would roll it would want it.
After the two agreed, Lao Dao had completed the arrangement of breaking the formation, and soon broke through the five ghost yin and thunder arrays, and the heavy tower door opened with a "squeak".
Ding dong! System announcement: The forbidden ancient pagoda has been opened, the ghost Taoist Fu Ping has nothing to hide, and the resentment of Lanruo Temple will finally come to an end.
A group of onlookers flocked to Chongning Tower.
