Chapter 11: Journey to a New Ashram

On a hot summer day, I hid in the shade of the trees and kept singing.

At noon, in the cloud tourist inn, a strange shouting sounded in a gazebo.

"Special cultivation, must it be at night?" Bian Yao sat at the stone table, and just threw a True Luo Fruit into his mouth, but suddenly screamed. He Qingyin on the side also widened his eyes after hearing this, revealing a puzzled expression.

"Yes! What you're missing right now is grinding. If you are doing a head-to-head duel in a righteous and bright way, you may be able to gain the upper hand among dream cultivators of the same realm. If someone else sneaks up on you in the dark, or even launches a surprise attack on you in the dark night, you will be easily killed by others! Think about it, I'm not going to * you. After the night corpse finished speaking, he shook the wine gourd, got up and smiled again: "I'll go get some wine, do you want to follow?"

"I don't want to go. Bian Yao shook his head weakly, leaned forward, and pressed his face to the side of the cool table.

"Think about it, I'll come to you when the sun goes down. After the night corpse finished speaking, he got up and left the small pavilion.

"Don't go, he said it's dangerous, and it's not good if it hurts somewhere. When the figure of the night corpse disappeared, He Qingyin spoke, and there seemed to be a hint of begging in his soft voice.

"It doesn't matter, he's told me a lot of scary words, and I'm not okay now. After a moment of silence, Bian Yao smiled.

"Then you're not less hurt!" He Qingyin flattened his mouth, as if he was a little angry.

"But he healed all my injuries for me, anyway, it's not alone, he also followed, don't worry! Don't you want me to become powerful quickly?" Bian Yao raised his face from the table, turned his head to look at the girl, and blinked. A snow-white rabbit appeared in front of He Qingyin out of thin air, jumped a few times in mid-air, and then disappeared. A smile tugged at the corner of the girl's mouth.

In the evening, the sunset covers the western sky, and the summer heat fades.

In the southwest corner of the cloud tourist inn, on a high rockery, Bian Yao and He Qingyin are sitting side by side watching the sunset.

The evening breeze gently blew the girl's long black hair, and the hair touched Bian Yao's right face with the wind. Under the red glow, the black hair seemed to have turned into thin red threads, connecting the young children.

As the sun was about to set, the Night Corpse reappeared.

"Have you thought about it?" Standing next to Bian Yao, the night corpse stood with his arms crossed, his shabby gray clothes dancing lightly in the wind.

"With you with me, what am I afraid of!" Bian Yao smiled and stood up from the rockery.

"You'd better not count on me, I'm easily distracted when I drink too much. The night corpse was slightly stunned and laughed.

"I'm going too. He Qingyin also stood up from the top of the rockery, because of the fear of Gao, the girl got up and subconsciously grabbed Bian Yao's arm.

"No, it's no better at night than during the day, and this time I'm going to another place farther away, so it's not convenient to take you with me. Without hesitation, the Night Corpse refused the girl's request.

He Qingyin pursed the corners of his lips and did not speak, his eyes looked at Bian Yao, looking pitiful.

"There's going to be danger there, and I'll worry about you if you go along. We'll be back soon, but it's only a few days, and you'll be alone in the inn. Bian Yao turned his head and whispered to the girl with a smile.

He Qingyin was sent back to the guest room, and the night corpse left a lot of spirit fruits. Subsequently, the night corpse and Bian Yao left the cloud visitor inn together.

He Qingyin stood outside the guest room, silently looking at the backs of the two of them gradually moving away.

Under the setting sun, when the tall and short figures finally disappeared from the girl's sight, tears swirled in He Qingyin's eyes, this was the first time that the girl had separated from him since she met Bian Yao.

After coming out of the north gate of the cave city, Bian Yao stopped and turned his head to look west, the afterglow of the sunset had not completely dissipated.

"Hengshui Mountain Range", one of the most famous mountain ranges in Xuecheng County. Although it is not high, it stretches for dozens of miles. The main vein is about four or five hundred zhang high, and the lower branch veins are even less than 100 zhang.

"See the black line at the end, you have to get there when it's dark. The Night Corpse spoke.

Bian Yao looked back. In the distance, at the end of that flat river, there seemed to be a long hazy black line horizontally.

"Whoosh~" The body rushed suddenly, and Bian Yao rushed towards the front quickly.

The night corpse followed Bian Yao, seemingly strolling, but he took a few feet away, always following him unhurriedly.

"Hurry up! If you can't get there when it's dark, there's nothing to eat~" The nasty voice of the night corpse kept echoing in Bian Yao's ears.

After nearly two months of practicing and exercising in the forest, Bian Yao's physical fitness and speed have been greatly improved. Although he had not really fought with anyone, Bian Yao had seen many battles between dream cultivators. In terms of speed, he felt that among all his peers, he should be able to rank in the upper middle.

In the constant urging and verbal stimulation of the night corpse, about half an hour later, Bian Yao finally came to the foot of the mountain range.

At the beginning of the night, a little light and shining stars appeared in the sky.

Beside a stream, Bian Yao slowly stopped, gasping for air. Looking at the towering black mountain in front of him, he looked very excited.

For as long as he can remember, Bian Yao has been wandering outside the south gate of the cave city, most of the time in the south of the city and near the suburbs by stealing food to make a living, although he has also climbed a few low hills, but it is not comparable to what he sees in front of him.

"Are we practicing in this mountain?" Bian Yao looked around for a moment before asking.

"No! It's early, let's eat. The night corpse handed Bian Yao a handful of spirit fruits.

If ordinary people don't do physical work, they can maintain their physical strength for a day by eating one piece of green fruit every day. However, dream cultivators have to eat a lot, especially when Bian Yao breaks through to the late stage of the Dream Monk, and the "Illusory Dream Shadow" requires spiritual power to be cast. Although the spirit body can constantly absorb spiritual energy in the dream realm, low-level dream cultivation mainly relies on eating spiritual fruits to quickly replenish spiritual power. After the dream cultivator eats the spiritual fruit, the spiritual energy contained in it will be absorbed by the spirit body in the dream realm and transformed into spiritual power for storage. Now Bian Yao eats dozens of spirit fruits every day.

Different spirit fruits have different effects, but the vast majority of spirit fruits will have two similar effects, that is, to satisfy hunger and provide aura.

"Next, you just have to rest. When you get to that place, there's no time for you to rest. The night corpse suddenly smiled darkly, stepped over to Bian Yao's side, and grabbed his belt.

Bian Yao suddenly felt his body light, and he just wanted to shout.

Suddenly, the wind whistled in my ears. It turned out that he was caught by the night corpse and was flying over the mountains in the air. Bian Yao looked at the dark mountains below, and excitedly opened his mouth and shouted loudly, but his voice was all muffled by the sound of the wind in his ears.

In a few moments, the night corpse flew to the top of the mountain with Bian Yao in his hand.

At this moment, the night corpse stopped flying, and its body was suspended above the mountain. Bian Yao was put down from his waist by the night corpse, surrounded by an invisible force, and also stood in the air.

"Do you know what that white expanse is?" the night corpse's voice came clearly into his ears. Bian Yao's body shook slightly, and then he looked at the other end of the mountain range with his eyes, but saw an endless whiteness.

"Water, why can't I see Bian, it's the sea?" replied Bian Yao excitedly.

"It's not the sea, it's a big lake! There's an island in the middle of the lake, and that's the destination of this practice. The night corpse smiled, and without waiting for Bian Yao to say anything, he took him back into his waist again, and flew towards the seemingly boundless lake.

In this way, after flying for about an hour, Bian Yao suddenly noticed that a large black dot appeared in front of him, and as time passed, the black dot was gradually getting bigger. Bian Yao knew that this was the destination of this trip.

After about a stick of incense, a dark island appeared in front of Bian Yao's eyes.

Viewed from above, the entire island is about a few dozen miles in circumference, in the shape of a thick triangle. The night corpse stood in the sky for a moment with Bian Yao in his arms, and finally flew towards the southeast corner of the island.

On top of a tall stone that stood upright, the Night Corpse fell.

"Damn, what the hell is this place?" Bian Yao didn't stand firm as soon as his feet landed, his feet slipped, and his ass sat heavily on the stone, so he couldn't help but shout twice.

"I forgot to remind you that this island is covered with a kind of green moss, which is very slippery on the feet. I didn't fall on this island back then. The night corpse looked at the dark woods not far away, and said lightly.

"This is the special cultivation you are talking about?" Bian Yao sat on the stone and did not get up, his hands gently touched the wet green moss on the stone surface, and his words were a little dissatisfied.

"You think so beautifully! How can you have such a comfortable cultivation when you just fall on your head!" the night corpse opened his mouth and scolded with a smile, and suddenly his voice changed, and he said seriously: "Strictly speaking, your cultivation grounds are actually those woodlands, and your opponents are hiding in them. You have to survive until dawn in that woods that can slip at any moment, and that's what you have to do! The main purpose of this practice is to exercise your adaptability, reflection and judgment skills to see how you respond to surprise attacks in unfamiliar environments and look for opportunities to fight back. Mind you, this green moss won't do anything to your opponents, so find a way to solve this problem yourself. ”

"What's in there?" Bian Yao cautiously stood up and asked softly.

"You can almost be considered 'people', you can treat them as people, but these 'people' are killers who want to kill you!, so you don't need to be soft on them, just go for them!"

"Is it a ghost?" Bian Yao whispered.

"Fart, have you ever seen a ghost?" the night corpse cursed.

"I haven't seen it before, but I've heard it before, and I don't know what it looks like?" replied, shaking his head.

"There is no such thing at all! Even if there is, are you still afraid?" said the night corpse, grabbing the gourd in his hand, shaking it twice and asking, "Do you want a bite?"

"I'm not afraid of that, I'm just curious. I heard that it looks very scary, just like ......" Speaking of this, Bian Yao subconsciously looked at the face of the night corpse.

"Hehe~ Just like me, isn't it?" The night corpse suddenly turned his face and grinned at Bian Yao.

"I'm not afraid of you!" Bian Yao snatched the gourd from the hand of the night corpse, but accidentally slipped and fell on the stone again, so he simply sat down, raised his neck and drank a few sips of wine.

"This will be given to you first, and then I will give it to Lao Tzu when I run out. They are furious and aggressive!You remember, don't hesitate!" The Night Corpse threw the Ice Spirit Knife to Bian Yao and commanded in a cold voice.

Bian Yao stood up and handed the gourd to the night corpse, jumped up, and jumped off the boulder.

"Plop~" sat on the ground again.

"Haha~" The night corpse's happy laughter sounded behind Bian Yao.
