Chapter 861: The city is hard to find
Good and Evil Stone Forest...
Saying goodbye to the medicine people, Li 13 learned such a name: "Good and Evil Stone Forest".
The desert transitions to the middle of the 15th district with abundant water and grass, separated by a huge wind-eroded landform area, hundreds of kilometers wide at its widest point, and the length is terrifying, starting from Zaomu City and extending horizontally from east to west.
It passes through Zaomu City in the east, and even exceeds the coverage area of the Zaomu Mountains in the west, stretching for three or four thousand kilometers, and entering the seventh forbidden area.
The Yadan wind-eroded landform area with an astonishing range has been known as the Good and Evil Stone Forest since ancient times.
The word "Stone Forest" is very easy to understand, referring to all kinds of strange stone pillars eroded by the wind.
The "good and evil" of the Good and Evil Stone Forest means to distinguish between good and evil.
When the ancient human settlements could not determine whether someone was guilty or not, they took him blindfolded to the depths of the Stone Forest of Good and Evil, and instructed him to continue walking inside, until the figure disappeared before he could remove the blindfold himself.
If that person can return from the stone forest of good and evil, it means that the gods are protecting him and he is not guilty. If they cannot return, it means that the guilty person has been taken away by the devil.
A very classic ancient trial method, Li Shisan knew that there were many similar methods in history, such as making people jump into a random sand pit where sharp blades were buried, and if they were not stabbed to death, they would be found not guilty.
And the good and evil stone forest a truth.
As for the difficulty of walking the maze, Li Shisan had previously taken a fossil pterosaur to observe from a high altitude, and the terrain of the Good and Evil Stone Forest was indeed complicated.
After two turns, the scenery around you is ever-changing, and there are even magnetic field interference, signal blind spots, and it is difficult to find food and water inside.
Not to mention ancient times, modern medicine people may not be able to get out easily when they go in with equipment, so most of the herbs are picked on the periphery.
There was no decent clue in the field, and Li Shisan once again confirmed that the thick scarf could block half of his face and move towards Zaomu City.
In the winter of the high latitudes, the streets are full of pedestrians wearing overcoats, and you can see furry hats everywhere hugging most of their heads, and high collars and scarves are combined, so you can't see your face clearly.
Li 13 is in the mix, and there is no problem at all.
The question is... I can't find a clue.
One day later, let the Eight Desolation Sect know that the Scar Rabbit is in Zaomu City, and they will send more people to investigate in Honghai City for one more day.
Yu Yan's injuries are not healed yet, they have to be as soon as possible.
"Wait, you don't have to look for the Eight Desolation Sect, you need to find their disciples!"
Li 13 thought of a clue: the college league.
Most of the players who can get good results in the college league are players with good backgrounds, not that ordinary children have poor qualifications and don't work hard, but they are too resource-intensive in practice.
No matter how good the talent is, no one will guide you, and after a few years of detours, you will basically open an insurmountable gap with the elites of the same age.
The Eight Desolation Sect is located in District 15, and their disciples have a high probability of participating in the college league and getting a good ranking, so it may be rewarding to investigate the league list.
Thinking of a new idea, Li Shisan turned to a drink shop on the street and sat down on the row of single seats in front of the bar.
There were no noteworthy guys around, and after removing the scarf, Li Shisan, out of prudence, still buttoned the hood of the windbreaker.
The text on the menu is transformed into recognizable information by the action of the instant messenger.
… There are a lot of alcoholic beverages.
A variety of milk wines, fruit wines, and liquors made from grains are also marked with optional alcohol content.
It's hard to imagine roadside bubble tea shops selling drinks with an alcohol content of more than 40 degrees.
(To be on the safe side, I have to say: Return, minors don't drink.) )
"A sweet milk wine, a fried taro."
I don't know what the taro is for the time being, there is a "taro" in the name, and Li Shisan speculates that it is a taro in the desert area.
"Okay! My brother is not a local. ”
"Ah, yes, I'm from District 9."
Li Shisan, with an unskilled accent, reported the wrong origin.
In addition to District 6, District 9 is the most familiar, and if someone talks about similar topics, it can handle it.
"District 9, that's enough to choke, how are you doing lately?"
A guest interjected from the side.
The customs of Zaomu City are relatively open, and the drink hall has the taste of an ancient teahouse and wine shop.
If it weren't for the wild collection of medicine, we must be vigilant, and eighty percent of those medicine people are also good talkers.
Li Shisan knows District 9 too well, and after leaving Yuanxi City, he paid attention to the disaster situation from time to time, and occasionally contacted Wan Rui and said that he would return to District 6 in the near future.
This shows that the situation in Area 9 has been brought under control, and the official cultivators sent by other districts to support have begun to retreat.
The demon suppression group is still there, although they are divided into 20 bureaus corresponding to the 20 human safety zones, but there is no division of districts, where there is a major disaster, the force will be tilted until the disaster is basically eliminated.
Li Shisan chatted about the situation in District 9, which attracted the attention of many guests, and the boss listened to it with relish, and kept moving.
Soon, hot sweet milk wine and taro were served.
A little different from what I imagined, taro is a plant similar to a potato, and it is very large, and the fried ones are not called fries at all, they should be called potato sticks.
Grabbed one of them and held it in his hand, it was like a glow stick.
"Little brother is a cultivator?"
The boss asked casually, and Li Shisan responded by chewing on food, "Uh, well, barely a beginner cultivator." ”
"That's amazing, no one in our family has any cultivation talent, but we envy cultivators."
"There's nothing to envy, that is, when I watch the college league, I think it's more exciting."
Li 13 deliberately directed the topic to the college league.
Just after the winter vacation, except for the 9th, 10th, and 11th districts that suffered disasters, the city stage of the college league in other regions ended at the same time, and the top three players and teams were determined, which was a very topical topic.
Sure enough, when it came to the college league, the atmosphere around the guests was even more lively than before, discussing which players had achieved good results in themselves or their children's schools.
The smell of star anise spices mixed with french fries exuded from his mouth, and Li Shisan saw that the atmosphere around him was similar, so he pretended to have no intention of chatting and continued to delve into the topic.
"I've just come to District 15, and I want to see the college league video here, what are the great players?"
"The players who have advanced are very good, and the top three in Zaomu City this year really hope to get good results in the regional competition."
"Yes, yes." The diner drinking liquor next to him was a little drunk, his face was flushed, and he was talking in his throat with a fever.
"The strongest player in District 15 is in Tengchao City, the frost year of the Eight Desolation Sect, and he retired unexpectedly a while ago, haha... Ahem, ahem. ”
The drunkard was halfway through his sentence when he was elbowed by his companion at the next table, giving him a warning with a very jealous look.
The drunkard suddenly became smart, the wine on his body dissipated seven or eight points, and he muttered what it mattered, but in fact, he had already curled up like a little sheep.
Li 13 looked at the bartender owner with a puzzled look.
The boss was not as arrogant as before, "They are talking about the frost year of the first place in the standings of the Tengchao City Single Ring Tournament, a disciple of the Eight Desolation Sect, who retired from the competition a while ago..."
