Chapter Ninety-Five: Discovery I
Yinshan Lake is located in a barren mountain surrounded by Lefu Realm, at the edge of the yang membrane that is about to leave.
There is a white mist here all year round, and you can't see your fingers. Even the most skilled fishermen don't want to come here to fish.
When Lin Xin and his entourage came to Yinshan Lake, it was already evening.
The surrounding barren mountains and mountains are faintly seen that there is a white mist in the mountains, and the mountains are undulating into the distance, until the outline is invisible.
Several carriages formed a phalanx, and several bonfires were burning in the middle.
Lin Xin stood by a carriage and looked at Yinshan Lake in the distance on the road ahead.
Everywhere you look, there is a white cloud, as if everything has been dyed black and white by the fog, and there is no other color to be found.
"Owner. Why don't you come and get something to eat?" Gongsun Li whispered as he walked up behind him.
"No, I've already used it with Lingling. Lin Xin turned around and said, "There is a lot of fog around this Yinshan Lake, there should be bandits and beasts hiding, right?"
"Yes, yes, but I don't dare to do anything to the team, and with a few of us, even if there is, it is very easy to solve. Gongsun Li said disapprovingly.
Lin Xin also accompanied them, ate something with the three worshippers, and then got up and was about to go back to the carriage to accompany Xiao Lingling, who was still weak and had not fully recovered.
"In the depths of the mountains, there is wine~~~" Suddenly a long mountain song came from the mist, it was a man, who seemed to be a little old.
"After drinking a bowl, I won't forget it~~~"
The sound is getting closer, louder and louder. After repeating it a few times, he had already walked to a place not far from the phalanx.
"But there are liquor sellers?" cried the sentry outside the ranks.
"yes, yes. Two people came out of the mist, carrying two wine jars. It's all yellow-brown earthen pots. Sealed with a white cloth stopper, you can faintly smell a hint of wine wafting out.
"It smells so good!"
The good hands in Zhuangzi suddenly couldn't help it, in this cold weather, and it was a humid fog, and immediately two people came to ask the Lu Cableway who managed the team.
Lu Suo listened to the words of the two and turned to ask Lin Xin.
"Owner, the people below want to buy some wine to quench their hunger. I don't know."
Lin Xin stared at the two people who were carrying the wine. They were two dark-skinned brut men, with gray cloth turbans tied and white-washed ordinary peasant clothes.
"The fog is big. It's good to have some drinks. He nodded, "However, first bring the two people who sell the liquor and ask about the situation." This wilderness. Beasts are rampant, and only two people dare to come out with wine."
"I also think it's a bit of a problem. Sanyuan Zen Master nodded. "It's better for the poor monk to ask on behalf of the owner. ”
"It's okay, I'm sorry for the trouble Zen master. ”
"It's not annoying. Sanyuan Zen Master took the two of them over, and stood far away and said a few words to the two wine sellers.
Lin Xin also didn't hear very clearly, and when he saw Xiao Lingling in the carriage lifting the curtain and looking outside, he walked towards the carriage, ready to tell her about the situation.
I hadn't gone far when I heard a loud shout from there.
"Go!"
Then the roar of the Sanyuan Zen Master exploded. It's like thunder.
Bang bang!
The two liquor sellers were beaten sideways like broken sacks, and they both held two daggers in both hands. Obviously, he took the opportunity to sneak attack just now. was beaten away by the Sanyuan Zen Master.
Before the two of them could hum, their heads on both sides were directly smashed into a large chunk.
"Kill!"
Suddenly, a large group of figures rushed around, brandishing mist such as firewood knives, hoes, sickles, etc., and rushed towards the phalanx attack.
"What a bandit robber. Lin Xin walked to the carriage and helped Xiao Lingling get out of the carriage.
"I'm not so squeamish. Xiao Lingling said coquettishly.
"It's okay, it's just that I want to do it. Lin Xin felt a little sorry for this girl, and learned from Senior Sister Qihuang that Xiao Lingling was still a virgin, and because of the use of the secret method this time, she overdrew her body excessively, which may also affect her own lifespan.
So her original energy is gone, and she is replaced by a weak and squeamish appearance every day. This is a sign of being hurt to the roots.
Every time he thought of this, he felt more and more sorry for Xiao Lingling.
Helping Xiao Lingling get out of the car, he looked around, at this time, Sanyuan Zen Master and four or five Jianghu experts recruited by the villa had already rushed into the bandits, rampage, and could kill a bandit with every blow.
There were dozens of bandits, but it seemed that there were many of them, and they were led by the Zen master to practice kung fu to open the way, and they went all the way through, killing two in and two out, and the entire bandit group collapsed.
Their weapons hit the Zen master, and they couldn't see even a single mark.
In a few clicks, the entire bandit was killed and scattered and fled.
"Arrest some people and go back to Zhuangzi to be enslaved. Lin Xin commanded.
The Zen master responded, and Lu Suo also sent a few more people here, cooperating on both sides, and began to surround the fleeing bandits.
In less than a few words, more than a dozen bandits were arrested.
Lin Xin walked over and saw that these arrested people had been tied up and tied up tightly. He looked at the overturned jug next to him, and the aroma of the wine overflowing from it was very tempting. Suddenly, my heart moved slightly.
"Where did the wine come from?"
"My lord, my lord, spare my life! I have an old mother at home, and a three-year-old child is waiting to be fed, and I am the pillar of support."
Boom. His words were interrupted by a kick.
The robber who shouted may have listened to the storyteller too much, and the call actually rhymed a little.
Lin Xin didn't expect to meet such a superlative, and it was really the first time he had met a guy who would beg for mercy like this in reality.
"Less nonsense!" a man on the side kicked over. A few words of scolding, "What did the owner ask you to say!?How did the wine come from?"
"Yes, it's wine, it's made by villains!" This man has thief eyebrows, sallow skin, a long and thin face, and messy hair as if it hasn't been washed for a long time, giving people the feeling that it is similar to a monkey spirit.
"You made it?" Lin Xinyiqi said. "How can you be reduced to the mountains as a bandit with this craft?"
The man immediately began to cry again, and began to tell his story with a handful of snot and tears.
It turned out that this guy was in the city because his wife Hongxing, who had just passed the door, went out of the wall, so he was angry for a while. Carried scissors to the door and stabbed his wife and her lover to death, and later fled to the mountains in order to avoid the government.
"The talking well?" Lin Xin was stunned, and the rest of the people on the side were also stunned.
"This well, can also speak?" the Sanyuan Zen master on the side was stunned.
"I think this guy is just making things up! It's better to kill it with a knife!" The good man who kicked his foot just now said recklessly.
As soon as these words came out, the man suddenly began to cry again, and his father and mother begged for mercy.
"Don't worry" Lin Xin's heart moved, this world is mysterious and weird. Maybe he could have encountered such a miracle.
As soon as the man saw Lin Xin's words, he suddenly didn't dare to delay, and hurriedly said the key things in one go.
The villain was also frightened at that time, and fainted. Later woke up. I picked it up and found that if I put it in the water for a night, I would get a steady stream of wine!"
"And such a thing?" Lin Xinyiqi said. "What about the stone?"
"Here," the man winced, pulling out a thin chunk of fuchsia from his clothes.
As soon as he took it out, he was snatched up and walked in front of Lin Xin to serve it.
Lin Xin took the stone. Take it in your hand and look closely.
"This is obviously an ordinary stone" Xiao Lingling was also surprised to hear it, and also approached to observe at this time.
"No," Lin Xin shook his head slightly.
The stone is in the shape of a rope. It is somewhat irregular, with many small honeycomb-like holes on the surface, similar to volcanic stone. The entire surface is purple and red, and it is faintly covered with vein-like lines.
"When I talked to Dongyue once, I heard him mention this thing," Lin Xin said slowly.
"The owner of the village is worthy of being the owner of the village, and such strange things are all recognized!" Gongsun Li hurriedly patted his ass.
Then a group of people around echoed in unison. They were all expecting him to explain the origin of the stone. Even the man who was caught.
"Owner, can this thing really turn water into wine?" Lu Cableway was a little unconvinced.
Lin Xin is also not sure.
"My friend mentioned that there is something called tartar that can be turned into water, but it comes at a cost. ”
"What price?" Xiao Lingling asked curiously.
Lin Xin shook his head slightly.
"The price is the corpse of a person. ”
As soon as his words came out, the arrested person's face turned pale, and he was directly a little stupid.
The crowd around them also changed color a little.
"A corpse can maintain the use of tartar for a certain number of times, although it is bloody, but the wine made of this tartar is a treasure that can prolong life. Lin Xin shook his head.
"Anyway, it's a bad treasure too. "Sanyuan Zen Master said the Buddha's name.
"Not bad. Lin Xin nodded. "However, this thing doesn't have to be a corpse in addition to this effect," he smiled, "if it's really tartar, of course." Bring water. ”
He had a bowl of water cut off and a stone to soak in. He put it in the wagon and left it alone.
"These people are left here, a few people are left to watch, and we will bring them back to Zhuangzi together when we come back. Lin Xin ordered casually.
He is not afraid that there will be rescuers behind these robbers and bandits, and this combat effectiveness is not much different from the peasants who have taken weapons.
The convoy rested for a night, and early the next morning, Xiao Lingling got up early to see the bowl of water with tartar.
"It's really wine!"
She said with some excitement.
"Of course. Lin Xin said gently, he picked up the bowl of tartar water on the table in the middle of the carriage, and when he swayed gently, he smelled a rich aroma of wine.
"This wine, also known as the wine of the dead, is brewed from the essence of human corpses, and is naturally mellow and delicious. But only we humans like to drink it, because according to my friend, if any other creature sees it, it will be very disgusting. Because instead of smelling a scent, they smell a foul smell. ”
"It's amazing" Xiao Lingling nodded, looking at the wine with some emotion and disgust.
The convoy continued to move forward and soon arrived at the shore of Yinshan Lake.
The fog on the shore of the lake is thick, and you can't see your five fingers, not to mention looking for Yinshan strangers, but it's far away, three or four meters away, you can't see the people around you.
The convoy had to use thick ropes to connect people and vehicles so as not to get lost.
After walking for a while, we reached the lake, and the fog was thick, and the calm and clear water could only be seen along the rocky shore.
Lin Xin asked the carriage to stop between the two old trees. Take out the sword case yourself and carry the newly made rune sword on your back.
The last Flame Sun Rune Sword slowly entered the sheath.
Lin Xin gently hugged Xiao Lingling.
"Wait for me right here. ”
"Yes. ”
Xiao Lingling replied softly.
Leaving the Sanyuan Zen Master, Lin Xin took Lu Cableway and Gongsun Li, as well as eight good hands, and slowly advanced along the shore of the lake, leaving traces at intervals along the way.
After walking along the lake for a while, a rather simple thatched hut suddenly appeared in front of me. (To be continued......)
