Chapter XXXVII

Zhang Yuan secretly said in his heart, this person who can come out to run a business is really not kind, and when he saw that he wanted it, he immediately raised the price. But he really didn't care about this money, he took the money from the bag and handed it to him, the man's eyes immediately showed a look of joy, but he didn't immediately reach over, but subconsciously looked at the clay pot below, and couldn't help licking his lips.

Zhang Yuan saw his eyes, and immediately said coldly: "The price you said was good, do you still want to regret it?"

Zhang Yuan's words instantly sobered up the man, maybe he was a cultivator, he hurriedly took the money and stuffed it into his arms, bowed his head and said with a smile: "My lord, you are joking, I just have never seen so much money, I am a little stunned, these things are all yours." ”

Zhang Yuan sneered, put all the clay pots on the ground into the bag, the man saw that he could hold so many things in a small bag, and immediately knew that he must be an adult of cultivation, thinking that he was actually going to slander him just now, he suddenly felt that his legs and feet were weak, his head was sweating, and his face was piled up with a smile that was more ugly than crying, and he watched Zhang Yuan squat directly on the ground after leaving and wiped his sweat.

"Dao Chief, this stall owner is clearly cheating on you, why spend this money. "Old man Zhang didn't understand why Zhang Yuan bought so many clay pots, there are many of these things, and you can take all the money.

Zhang Yuan smiled mysteriously: "You don't understand these things. "I secretly said in my heart that this thing is not to mention five hundred dollars, even five hundred spirit stones are cheap. He guessed that the lake was a large array of stars, so naturally there was Shengjimen in it, and it was indeed possible that the stall owner had accidentally broken into the island and brought out such things. Zhang Yuan didn't find the secret of the clay pot at first, but in line with the curiosity of archaeologists, he looked at this jar well, but when he reached in, he found that there was a pattern in it, and he couldn't say that he used his divine sense to check it, and he actually found that it was the two stars of the Eastern Canglong and the Northern Xuanwu.

Zhang Yuan thought of the two stars, so he smiled inexplicably, the old man Zhang on the side looked at him curiously, Zhang Yuan hurriedly asked, "Are the boats ready?"

"It's all right, but the rent has risen a lot, in previous years, when we came back to our village, we only needed to pay two and Dilian, but this year it has risen to five, and I don't know how much we can pick this year?"

Zhang Yuan said curiously: "How much can you pick in previous years?"

"It's usually about ten, but this year there are more people, and it is estimated that there will be fewer people. Old man Zhang looked at so many people this year, and his heart was a little drumming.

Zhang Yuan asked a little strangely: "No, this is not a lotus, it grows, it is a large area, so there is only so much?"

Old man Zhang explained: "The Taoist chief doesn't know, there are indeed a large area of lotus in this lake, but unfortunately we can't pick it, it's all in the place where you can't get out if you go in, and most of the ones born outside are ruined by demon beasts." When he said that he was spoiled by the demon beast, his tone seemed to want to eat the demon beast.

Talking to the dock, the villagers have already arrived at the two of them and a boat has been allocated, just waiting for the two of them, seeing them coming, one by one have gone offshore, Zhang Yuan knew that he had delayed everyone's trip a little, and hurriedly got on the boat with Old Man Zhang, Old Man Zhang rocked the oar behind, and also followed the big team to the lake.

Zhang Yuan didn't notice a strange cloud floating in the air behind him, in which a woman in white and an old man in red were talking.

"Sword Dance, why do we have to follow these villagers, let's fly over directly, isn't it. "The old man in red is very dissatisfied with such sneaking,

Jian Wu smiled slightly: "Uncle Shi, I'm not interested in these villagers, I'm just a little interested in that Taoist priest." After speaking, he pointed at Zhang Yuan.

The old man in red was immediately angry when he saw Zhang Yuan, to be precise, he saw that his banner was more similar to someone, and he immediately said angrily: "It's that stinky Taoist." After that, he was ready to go down and do it.

Jian Wu hurriedly stopped him and said with a smile: "Uncle Shi, it's not that person, but Hongyun said that this person once appeared in the forbidden land of the back mountain with the stinky Taoist priest, and wanted to steal Zhu Guo to eat, but in the end, Zhu Guo was still eaten by Hongyun." After saying that, he laughed scoffingly.

The old man in red scolded: "You are embarrassed to say that you won't give it to your uncle." Seeing that Mink was staring at him, he hurriedly said: "Then you mean that this kid should be his disciple and grandson, and he can also form formations." ”

Jian Wuyu clenched his fist and waved it proudly, and said: "Yes, this kid must know the formation, let's follow him, and a praying mantis catcher and yellow finch will follow, and wait for the last chance to snatch his things away, see how ugly his expression is." After saying that, he smiled proudly.

"Yes, that stinky Taoist priest's cultivation is not very good, but the way of the formation is really good. The old man in red nodded in praise.

"Not only is the formation good, but also that mouth is too capable of talking, how many times has my father been fooled by him, and every time he angrily said that he would not be fooled next time, but he was fooled by him next time, uncle, I was very angry when I saw you just now, what did you fool?" Jian Wu suddenly pursed his lips and smiled.

The old man in red didn't reply to her words, but just snorted heavily. , the face is very ugly.

Zhang Yuan didn't know that someone was staring at him behind him, and he didn't know that this hatred was pulled by Mu Lingzi, just watching the scenery in the lake. Luoxing Lake was too vast, everyone stepped up their rocking, and it took half a day to reach the edge of a small island, but they only saw a few residual leaves swaying in the water, and Tilian had been picked away, and the villagers couldn't help but be a little discouraged, and the teacher was not good, and everyone's mood was a little depressed.

Zhang Yuan looked at the remnant leaves and asked, "Was this picked by someone else, or was it eaten by a demon beast." ”

Old man Zhang's expression was quite ordinary, and he said with a smile: "These should be eaten by demon beasts, you can know by looking at the leaves, if we pick them, we only pick lotus seeds, and the leaves are well protected, and they will be picked again next year." These guys still have a little less knowledge. He raised his voice and shouted, "Everyone, don't worry, let's hurry up and go to other places." ”

Who knows, after running three places in a row, all the leaves you see are remnants, and even the old man Zhang panicked, seeing that the sky was dark, everyone lit the torches, and more than 50 boats were connected into a fire dragon in the lake.

Zhang Yuan held the torch, looked at Old Man Zhang's face, and asked in a low voice, "Is there still a Tie Lian in other places?"

"Yes, but I don't dare to enter, these places are places where we are sure to be safe, like the devil in the fog, it looks like it is all and Dilian, but they don't dare to enter, and if they enter, there will be no people. Old man Zhang said.

"Where's the Devil's Mist?"

"Around the island in the middle of the lake, don't look at us walking for a long time, we didn't dare to go to the lake, only around a few small islands on the side. Old man Zhang explained.

While the two were talking, the team drove to the edge of an island again, this time the lotus leaves were intact, and it seemed that others had preempted them.

When the leader saw that it was too late, he ordered a rest, and everyone stopped the boat together, tied it with ropes, and did not make a fire, but silently gnawed on dry food.

Zhang Yuan looked at the dry food in his hand, but he couldn't swallow it, looking at the old man Zhang's delicious food, he simply handed him the dry food, and the old man Zhang was not polite, took it, and ate it in two bites.

Seeing that he had finished eating, Zhang Yuan pointed to the island and asked, "Why don't you go to the island to rest." ”

Old man Zhang was lying on the side of the boat drinking water, hearing this, he said with a smile: "This island is too dangerous, when I was young, I saw with my own eyes that some people didn't believe in going to the island, but as soon as they stepped on it, the person disappeared, and after waiting for a long time, there was no trace, it is estimated that they were eaten by the monsters on the island." ”

Zhang Yuan's heart moved, could it be that the formation was also arranged on the outer island, and the scope of the formation of the Falling Star Sect was too large, and he thought of the clay pot he bought before, and hurriedly took it out, carefully looked at the starry sky pattern in it, and combined with the route traveled all the way, it took a long time to put it down, and he already paid attention to it in his heart.

Zhang Yuan saw that Old Man Zhang had fallen asleep, so he called him up and told him that he was going to the island to have a look.

Old man Zhang was woken up in a daze, and when he heard that he was going to the island, he suddenly woke up, and hurriedly shook his hand and said: "Dao Chief, this can't be a joke, the island is very dangerous, I want to be back then..."

Zhang Yuan patted him on the shoulder and said confidently: "Don't worry, it'll be fine, this is just a small formation on the periphery, and it won't be difficult for me, you can just row a boat to send me over." ”

Seeing that he had made up his mind, the old man Zhang did not stop at the moment, untied the connecting rope, rowed the boat carefully to the island, Zhang Yuan continued to use the compass to the direction, and looked up at the starry sky from time to time, walked around the island for half a circle, and came to the east of Kangsu, Zhang Yuan asked the old man Zhang to stop at a willow tree.

The boat stopped, Zhang Yuan did not go ashore from the edge of the tree, but went directly into the middle of the tree, Old Man Zhang instantly screamed out in fright, and then heard Zhang Yuan's voice: "Old Zhang, what are you calling blindly." ”

Old man Zhang fixed his eyes and saw that Zhang Yuan had already appeared on the side, he rubbed his eyes, and asked with some uncertainty: "Dao Chief, are you okay?"

Zhang Yuan said angrily: "Do you really want me to have something?"

Old man Zhang subconsciously shook his head and hands together, and said, "No, I'll wait for you here." ”

"Well, don't touch anywhere else, I'll come back to you later. Zhang Yuan instructed, and walked towards the center of the island after speaking.

In mid-air, Jian Wu grabbed Uncle Shi's hand and shook it, and said excitedly: "Look, he has entered the island." ”

The old man in red hurriedly said, "I saw it, don't shake my old bones apart." ”

Jian Wu put down his hand embarrassedly and asked, "Then should we follow up?"

"No, this one hasn't reached the lake yet, so there shouldn't be anything good in it. "The old man in red has obviously also been to Starfall Lake and knows some information.

Zhang Yuanxian, who went to the island, carefully walked around the edge of the island, the island was not big, he quickly finished, except for some formations on the shore to defend against demon beasts, there were no other formations, and there were no poisonous insects and monsters in the middle, so he walked to the middle.

In the middle of the island is a row of low houses, which are built with the wood of the island, not even the bark has been peeled off, full of natural feeling, Zhang Yuan shouted a few times, and no one answered, he carefully pushed open the door of a house, and found that the house was a row of wooden beds, and there was a sword hanging on the wall, Zhang Yuan took off the sword, and found that the scabbard was very beautifully made, and the hilt of the sword was also engraved with "Uncle Sun of the Falling Star".
