Chapter 51: Strange Island

Lord Ge pondered for a while, and then said with a little hesitation: "Yes, but it's very troublesome, the Taoist chief traveled all the way west, found a place called Water Town after arriving at Yunmengze, and then found a bald boy under a banyan tree near the lake in the town, and sent him the moon cordata, and asked him to send you to the other side, and then go west, to a place where it is said that the phoenix fell, where there are many adventurers, and they all have a door to pass by the galaxy." ”

Zhang Yuan silently remembered the name of the place he said, and when he finished speaking, he asked: "What is the cordata grass, I haven't heard of it, why does the bald boy want this?" As for the place where the phoenix fell, it was not too late for Yun Mengze to inquire again.

Lord Gemen seemed to know that he was going to ask this, and explained with a smile: "That young man is said to be a demon beast, no one knows what the body is, and his skills are not high, but he can transform into shapes, and he thinks it is the talent of the race, but this demon beast likes to eat this moon cordata, and I also discovered it by accident once." After a pause, he explained: "The cordata cordata has the effect of refreshing and anti-poison gas when placed around, but Yun Mengze does not have this grass, but my Xihai is everywhere, and the Taoist will bring it later." As he spoke, he pointed to the grass in the yard.

Zhang Yuan looked at the grass all over the ground, couldn't help laughing, and said: "There is a way to go over, where is the trouble, thank you for the guidance of the door master, the poor road will leave." With that, he was ready to leave.

Master Ge Men grabbed him and said, "Why should the Dao Chief, why do you have to rest for a few days before you leave when you come to my Xihai, besides, Lao Hei still has a lot of questions to ask you? ”

Zhang Yuan saw that he was resolutely unwilling to let himself go, so he had to agree to stay for a few more days, and then Zhang Yuan discussed the formation by the black elders during the day, and was drunk by the elders at night, almost every day, although the exercises can relieve hangover, but Zhang Yuan also felt that the whole person was a little wooden, and after staying for ten days, Zhang Yuan had to leave the Xihai faction, and he was a little afraid of the enthusiasm of the Xihai faction.

All the way out of the West Sea are lofty mountains and mountains, all kinds of heavenly and earthly treasures are distributed in it, naturally there are many demon beasts, Zhang Yuan in line with the principle that more things are better than less, and then he can't look down on these things now, directly relying on his divine sense to avoid them, it took two months of hard work to see a lake shrouded in smoke, but unlike the Misty Lake, the more you go to the lake here, the thicker the fog becomes.

There are still a lot of people fishing in the lake, which makes Zhang Yuan feel a little surprised, you must know that this Yunmengze is also connected to the galaxy, and someone dares to enter it to fish!

When Zhang Yuan arrived at the lake, he saw an old man and a young man collecting the net from a distance, and shouted loudly: "Old man, I want to ask you about something." The voice was heard far away.

The two of them looked at each other hand to eye, and the old man asked loudly, "What's the matter with the Daoist?"

"How do I get to Watertown?"

"The little old man is from Shuizhen, the Taoist will wait a while, we will dock and take the Taoist to go. The old man said enthusiastically.

"Thank you so much, old man. Zhang Yuan said with some surprise, secretly saying that it didn't take any effort to come here.

The two quickly put the net up and rowed to the shore, Zhang Yuan saw that their skin was black and red, their hands and feet were cracked, and they were begging for a living on the water all the year round, so he immediately got on the boat and thanked: "There are two laborers, dare to ask the old man's surname." ”

"Don't dare to have a surname, don't have a surname Ding, just call me Old Man Ding, this is my grandson. Old man Ding said, his grandson was a little shy, but he just smiled at Zhang Yuan.

Zhang Yuan sat down in the boat and asked the question in his heart: "Lao Ding, are you fishing here, aren't there any demon beasts attacking?"

Old man Ding said with a smile: "The Taoist chief came from afar and didn't know, there are no demon beasts in this Yunmengze, our town is built on the island, just to avoid the demon beasts in the mountains." ”

Zhang Yuan was even more curious: "Why is this?"

Old man Ding smiled and said: "I don't know about this, it's just that there are no demon beasts, there are enough fish and shrimp in this water, which feeds us people." Is there something going on with the Taoist Governor coming to our town?"

Zhang Yuan didn't hide it from him, and said: "I'm looking for a bald boy, it is said that he can send me over this Yunmengze, this Yunmengze has no demon beasts, can you go?"

Old man Ding said with a smile: "The Taoist said that he was joking, Yun Mengze has no demon beasts, but the more you go to the lake, the thicker the fog becomes, and the boat rows in, and I don't know where to row." That is, Sixteen Lang can row over, and Sixteen Lang is the boy that the Taoist is looking for. ”

Zhang Yuan's heart moved when he heard that the boat was disoriented, did this Yunmengze also have a formation arranged by the ancient sect?

"Sixteen Lang is a demon beast, it is said that he is ranked sixteenth, but he is very generous, and he does not bully us, and he just stops under the banyan tree every day. "Old man Ding obviously has a good impression of Sixteen Lang.

Zhang Yuan became more and more curious about this sixteen, it was not easy for a demon beast to be recognized by humans like this, and he already wanted to see him.

The town soon arrived, and when he went ashore, Zhang Yuan wanted to give some money, but Old Man Ding resolutely refused to accept it, and said: "Dao Chief, this is also a matter of the way, how can I accept your money! ”

Zhang Yuan secretly said that this old guy was shrewd, and he didn't shirk it, and looked at his grandson carefully, only to see that the young man was smiling shyly, and Zhang Yuan could see that he was blushing on that black face, and when he saw his forehead wide and prominent, thick eyebrows and big eyes, and a big mouth, he was born with a small nose, and he secretly shook his head in his heart, and said: "The fate of the grandson is that he is too cautious, and he wants to have more girls, so he can naturally find the right one." ”

Old man Ding thanked him again and again, turned around and said to his grandson: "Go and talk to those girls more in the future." He also invited Zhang Yuan: "The Taoist chief will go to the little old man's house for dinner first, and then go to Sixteen Lang." ”

Zhang Yuan hurriedly waved his hand and refused: "Don't bother, I'm still in a hurry to pass Yun Mengze, I understand your kindness, where is this sixteen lang." ”

"The chief walked this way along the island, behind the hill. Old man Ding was not reluctant, and pointed in the direction of his finger and said.

After Zhang Yuan said goodbye, he looked for it along the road, the town is not big, the villagers' houses are lined up along the lake, there are small boats parked in front of every house, fishing nets are hung, and several children see him and follow him curiously.

Zhang Yuan saw the banyan tree from a distance, and when he walked under the tree, he saw a bald young man, he took off his shirt, revealing his dark body, sitting in the boat and staring at the lake in a daze. Zhang Yuan was still looking at him, and several children who followed him had jumped onto the boat, arguing around Sixteen Lang to ask for something to eat, only to see Sixteen Lang smiling innocently, taking some lotus seeds and water ginseng from the cabin and distributing them to the children, and the children got something, so they laughed and went ashore to leave.

Zhang Yuan smiled and went to the boat, holding a handful of L'Houtynia cordata in his hand and said, "Sixteen Lang, I have thought about Yun Mengze. ”

Sixteen Lang stared at the moon cordata with his eyes shining, rubbed his hands excitedly and said, "Okay, no problem." You sit down. With that, he untied the rope and walked away.

Zhang Yuan didn't expect it to be so easy, sitting on the boat and finding that Sixteen Lang was holding the boat very fast, casually holding it, the boat slid out of the water for a long distance, watching the boat gradually enter the fog area, Zhang Yuan suddenly asked: "Why do you want to have L'Houtynia?"

Sixteen Lang smiled innocently and said, "The ancestor wants to use it." I don't know what to do. ”

Zhang Yuan thought to himself: Ancestor, there is an old demon beast in this Yunmengze, why do you just want this month of cordata? Then he asked: "Then you are specially giving this away, won't you go to other places to find it?"

"The ancestor won't let us leave here, there were a lot of things here before, all of which were used by the ancestors, and they have only recently started to be collected. Sixteen Lang obviously didn't have much experience, Zhang Yuan asked what he said.

"How long have you been collecting lately?"

"Well, I want to see it,... I guess it's been 3,000 years. Sixteen Lang snapped his fingers for a long time before saying.

Zhang Yuan's face twitched, he was unprepared to talk to an old demon beast who had lived for three thousand years for so long, but it was only when he saw that he was good to the villagers that he forgot his identity as a demon beast.

"Then you have been practicing for so long, you should be very powerful. Zhang Yuan said curiously, such a powerful demon beast actually came to support the boat.

"I'm not qualified, I've been practicing for 20,000 years and I've just reached the Yuan Dan stage. Sixteen Lang bowed his head a little embarrassed and said.

Zhang Yuan felt that his face was going to be numb, and in the twenty thousand years of the Yuan Dan period, he immediately realized a question and hurriedly asked: "Didn't you say that you can only transform into a human form until you reach the eighth level of condensation?

I don't know that Sixteen Lang said directly: "I don't know this, the ancestor taught me." ”

Zhang Yuan didn't want to ask again, he didn't speak, Sixteen Lang didn't speak, the boat was quiet again, the boat passed through a water ginseng area, Zhang Yuan stretched out his hand to fish, and didn't want Sixteen Lang to hurriedly stop him: "Don't pick this, it's poisonous." ”

Zhang Yuan hurriedly withdrew his hand and asked puzzledly, "Isn't this water ginseng?"

Sixteen Lang explained: "This is not called water ginseng, it is ghost ginseng, and it is highly poisonous when eaten. ”

Zhang Yuan heard about ghost ginseng for the first time, looked at it carefully, and couldn't help asking, "Is there any difference between this one?"

"It's called because he grew up here, and the rest are non-toxic. Sixteen Lang explained.

After this ghost ginseng place, the white mist suddenly dissipated in front of me, and a huge bare island was exposed, and what was even more peculiar was that the islands were crisscrossed by deep ditches, and a trace of smoke came out of the ditch from time to time.

Sixteen Lang leaned the boat up, quickly ran to the edge of a deep ditch, hurriedly threw the moon cordata in his hand and hurriedly ran back, it seemed that there was something terrifying there, Zhang Yuan had been looking at the scope of the island with his divine sense, and found that his divine sense could not be completely covered, and suddenly when Sixteen Lang threw the grass down, he felt that the island seemed to tremble, and when he looked carefully, there was no movement, and he couldn't help but doubt in his heart: Am I too nervous.

Sixteen Lang, who came back, didn't seem to stay for a moment, and hurriedly pushed the boat away, Zhang Yuan asked curiously: "Can you just throw the grass there?"

"Yes, the Ancestor said that this is fine. "Sixteen Lang still has questions to answer.

"What's in the ditch, you seem to be scared?" Zhang Yuan continued.

Sixteen Lang seemed to hate the things in the ditch, and said with a frown: "The things in the ditch are highly poisonous, I remember when I was very young, one of my brothers fell and died directly, and as soon as this grass was put in, the poison floated out directly, so I had to flee quickly." ”
