Chapter Seventy-Nine: At the Foot of the Heavenly Mountains

The Tianshan Mountains are on the west side of Fengzhou, at the intersection of the three counties of Lingxi, Fengming and Lingwu.

It is said that it is the highest mountain range of the Daqian Dynasty, and many peaks reach into the clouds, and are covered by heavy snow all year round.

Rare to visit!

Ning Chu's desire to find the place where Dao Chang and Qi Yuan had been in the vast mountains was tantamount to looking for a needle in a haystack.

But that's the only clue they have now.

Whatever the outcome, you have to try your luck in the past.

And just as Ning Chu was about to leave, Bai Su suddenly stopped him, and then took out a jade plate similar to 'Sinan' from the storage ring.

"What is this?"

Bai Su smiled and explained: "This is a gift given to me by my father on my birthday, called 'Ruyi Plate', as long as I think about the problem when urging, it can give instructions to a certain extent. ”

"So amazing?"

Ning Chu was surprised, he didn't expect that there would be such treasures in the world.

Looking closely, he soon found that there were many tadpole scriptures engraved on the 'Ruyi Plate', which should be something from the Buddhist family.

And on the plate is not a spoon, but a small delicate wish.

Because of the six-character mantra of Buddhism, Ning Chu could clearly feel that the Buddhist atmosphere on the 'Ruyi Plate' was very profound.

Under Ning Chu's gaze, Bai Su held the Ruyi plate in his hand and said lightly:

"In which direction did the head of the distant mountain road go?"

As her words fell, the tadpole scriptures on the jade plate flickered, and an indescribable charm flashed away, as if it was connected to some kind of power in the dark.

The originally static jade Ruyi seemed to be pushed by an invisible force, slowly shifting a few inches.

"This way!"

Bai Su looked in the direction that Yu Ruyi was pointing, and just when Ning Chu showed a look of joy, he added: "The 'Ruyi Plate' is not omnipotent, what can be given is only a general direction, and it will not be very accurate. ”

Ning Chu nodded knowingly.

"Enough!"

The two continued to set off in the direction Ruyi pointed.

After walking for another six days, during which he used the function of the Ruyi Pan many times to adjust the direction, and finally arrived at the foot of the nearest Tianshan Mountain.

As the saying goes, relying on the mountains to eat the mountains and relying on the water to draft the water.

The Tianshan Mountains stretch for thousands of miles, there are countless birds and beasts in the mountains, the land is vast, the resources are extremely rich, and there are countless towns and cities naturally gathered.

The only thing that is not lacking here is restaurants and inns, for people who enter the mountains to rest and reorganize, thus forming a complete supply chain.

The town where Ning Chu and Bai Su are now located is called Baiyang Town.

Although the town is small, it is much livelier than they expected!

The most common here are muscular mercenaries, who deal with all kinds of dangers in the mountains all year round, many of them have scars on their bodies, and they can be seen drinking in large bowls and eating meat in many taverns.

In addition, there are all kinds of cries in the town.

Most of them are various supplies obtained from the mountains.

There are ores, elixirs, all kinds of monsters or materials on monsters, and some miscellaneous things, all kinds of things, countless.

In addition to these, groups of monks dressed in uniform can occasionally be seen.

And most of them are young people.

Ning Chu speculated that it should be a disciple of some sect who came here to exercise.

At this time, Bai Su wore a kitten mask on his face again, holding the Ruyi Pan and silently reciting in his heart: "In which direction did the head of the distant mountain road stop?"

Yu Ruyi slowly rotated and pointed to the front of the two to the right.

Ning Chu looked over and found that it was a small inn.

"Could it be that the Elder of the Far Mountains has stayed here?"

"Let's go, let's see. ”

The two of them rushed for six days in a row, although it was nothing in terms of their cultivation, but it was also a little boring, and they just found an inn to rest and settle down at this moment.

When he came to the first floor of the inn, Xiao Er immediately greeted him warmly.

Ning Chu looked around the restaurant, and there were only a few tables of mercenaries drinking.

The two followed the shopkeeper to the corner and sat down, ordered a few dishes casually, and then Ning Chu took out a handful of spirit stones and put them on the table.

The shopkeeper immediately showed joy.

Occasionally, there will be monks who enter the mountain, and they will unexpectedly get a big harvest, and after going down the mountain, they will generously reward them with some spirit stones.

In the eyes of the shopkeeper, Ning Chu is obviously not in this situation, so it is another situation.

Inquire about things.

The shopkeeper in the restaurant often listens to the chat of the drinkers and is the most well-informed person.

"I wonder if the guest officer has anything to ask?"

The shopkeeper was quite professional, so he didn't go to get the spirit stone, but asked them first.

Ning Chu pushed the spirit stone over, and then asked:

"Little second brother, I have a friend who has been here, he is a Taoist priest, and the road number is far away, I don't know if you have any impression?"

"Daoist?"

The shopkeeper frowned and thought about it.

"It's not common for Taoist priests, oh...... I remember, there was a Taoist priest two months ago, I don't know what it is, about forty years old, medium build, not very talkative, I wonder if it's your friend?"

"That's it. ”

Ning Chu was overjoyed, and the reason why he was so sure was nothing more than three reasons.

First, the time coincides, and the head of the distant mountain road left two months ago;

Second, he doesn't like to talk, which is very in line with the biased character of the head of the distant mountain;

Third, it is because there are few Taoist priests here, and once there is, then nine times out of ten it is a distant mountain.

"How long he lived here, what he did, who he met, remember it. ”

As he spoke, Ning Chu took out another handful of spirit stones.

As the saying goes, money can make ghosts grind, and money is always the best thing to use.

Sure enough, the shopkeeper couldn't close his mouth with a smile and kept recalling.

"I remember that after the Taoist master came, he hid in the inn, and he was sent food on weekdays, and he didn't see anyone, but someone came to inquire about him after he left. ”

Ning Chu stood up abruptly.

"Who?"

"I remember being an old man, and I asked from inn to inn if he had seen a Taoist priest, and I received him at that time, and told him that the Taoist priest had gone up the mountain a few days ago. ”

Ning Chu and Bai Su glanced at each other.

Needless to say, it must have been Qi Yuan who came later.

"How do you know that the Taoist priest is going up the mountain and not leaving?"

Compared with Ning Chu, Bai Su's personality is more delicate, and he can always capture details that others can't think of.

The shopkeeper politely explained:

"Because that Dao Ye bought a lot of dry food and equipment, and even asked the little one to cross the map of the outer mountain range, there happened to be a group of mercenaries who were going up the mountain to settle down in the small shop, or the little one helped to match, so that the Dao Master could go with them. ”

"I see. ”

Bai Su turned his head to look at Ning Chu, waiting for his arrangement.

Ning Chu didn't rush to speak, and motioned to the shopkeeper to accept the spirit stone and go to prepare wine and food for them.

After the shopkeeper left, Ning Chucai said softly: "Let's stay here for one night first, and then use the Ruyi plate tomorrow to determine the direction, and let's go up the mountain to have a look." ”

"Good!"

Bai Su had no opinion, and he could eat some casually when the wine and food were served, and then booked two rooms.

Ning Chu returned to the guest room to meditate, and his heart suddenly throbbed for no reason, always feeling that something was going to happen......

PS: I went out today, and the old problem of headache was made again, and I can only have one chapter today, and I'll make it up tomorrow, sorry, sorry!
