Chapter 35: The Sacred Lake of Nanling
Early the morning of the second day after the bonfire party, Qin Yun woke up from his tent and sat up in a daze with his swollen head covered. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 He couldn't remember what he had done last night, and his last memory was when the barbarian general walked up to the platform.
"Big brother, are you awake?" Qin Wuyue said with a smile, and then handed over a bowl of honey water to Qin Yun.
Goo Dong Goo Dong ~~~, Qin Yun drank the honey water and felt a little better.
"What did I do last night?" Qin Yun asked Wuyue in confusion, and he could still smell a distinct smell of alcohol when he exhaled.
Qin Wuyue grinned and said, "Yesterday you were overturned by a group of soldiers. ”
It turned out that after the bonfire party, the barbarian general came to Qin Yun menacingly with a group of soldiers to "settle accounts" with him. Since his bravery on the battlefield is not as good as Qin Yun, then he will take it back in the wine field. After a series of wheel battles, Qin Yun was finally completely defeated in this "infighting". In the end, he was carried back by the soldiers and let Wuyue take care of him for a night.
"That Uncle Li is exactly right, pouring so much wine. Qin Wuyue snorted and said angrily.
Unexpectedly, the heroic laughter of the barbarian general suddenly came in from outside the tent, and he opened the curtain and walked in from outside.
"Wuyue, you spoke ill of your uncle early in the morning. The barbarian general said this, without the slightest hint of blame.
"Uncle Li~"
"I've tied up the two horses you wanted. ”
"Thank you, Uncle Li. Qin Wuyue thanked the barbarian general very obediently, he had just finished saying bad things about others behind his back, and he always had to "make up for his mistakes".
"Don't be a good person. The barbarian general saw Wuyue's careful thoughts at a glance, and hurriedly waved his hand and smiled.
"Kid, when are you going to go. The barbarian general asked Qin Yun
"Afternoon. Qin Yun said truthfully, in the three years that the golden scales were asleep. Even if you can't open the atrium now, you can't go to Sunday. But Qin Yun also wanted to improve his strength, and waiting for the golden scales to wake up was not what he wanted.
"Take care all the way!" said the barbarian general solemnly as he turned his hand to Qin Yun and Wuyue.
"The Barbarians welcome the return of the two at any time. ”
With that, the barbarian general rode away. As a general, he had a lot of daily affairs to deal with, especially during this time. Being able to personally send the war horse was enough to show that he valued Qin Yun and the others.
In the afternoon, Qin Yun stuffed all his belongings into the Na Ring, and then embarked on the road back to Qin with Wuyue. Stepping out of the city gate, the corpses of the 100,000 Chu soldiers had already been cleaned up by everyone, but the red-stained land had not yet recovered its original appearance, and there was still a faint fishy smell in the air.
"Big brother, let's go. Wuyue was visibly resistant to the smell and drove the horses out of the area.
Driving~~~, the two war horses disappeared outside the border city and gradually disappeared into the Nanling Mountains. Three hundred years ago, the barbarian immortal made the demon beasts in the South Mountains make an oath that they would never attack the barbarians. Therefore, with Qin Wuyue here, the trip to Nanling avoided the trouble of being attacked by demon beasts.
Qin Yun and Wuyue were in a hurry during the day, and at night they set up a bonfire to rest for a while. There was no attack from the demon beast, and the two did not delay in the trip. In more than ten days, they have already reached the depths of Nanling, and about half the distance will be able to return to the barbarian country.
"Big brother, do you want to see the Holy Lake?" Qin Wuyue asked hurriedly on horseback.
"The Holy Lake?"
"yes, it's around here. Qin Wuyue pointed in the direction to her right.
"Let's go!" It was rare for Wuyue to have such interest, Qin Yun immediately agreed.
After a short time, the two arrived at the holy lake.
Qin Yun looked at the endless earth pit in front of him and the weapons inserted horizontally on the pit, his face showed a look of sudden realization.
The holy lake in Wuyue's mouth turned out to be the sword mound that Qin Yun had encountered the golden scales that day.
"Unfortunately, the lake has dried up now. Qin Wuyue muttered in frustration.
Qin Yun frowned, still remembering that the golden scale had said that the water in the holy lake represented its power. But after the barbarian immortal ascended, the holy lake continued to dry up for some reason in the past three hundred years. The golden scale just wanted to know the truth about the exhaustion of the holy lake before leaving the holy lake and clinging to Qin Yun.
"Legend has it that the fairy often came to this lake before ascending. Qin Wuyue's eyes were clear and clear, as if the holy lake in front of him had not dried up, and the lake was still rippling.
"What is the barbarian fairy doing here?" Qin Yun asked deliberately as he looked at the various weapons in the holy lake, in fact, he already knew the answer.
"Legend has it that the fairy challenged the Ten Thousand Emperors before becoming immortals, and then buried the weapons in the hands of the victorious Emperor in the Holy Lake. ”
"Maybe the fairy came here and did something else. Qin Yun said lightly.
"Anything else?" Wuyue looked at Qin Yun curiously, the legend of the barbarian immortal seemed to be the only one.
"Maybe the fairy accidentally discovered this lake, and by coincidence saved a small fish that was about to be devoured by a big fish. Later, the fairy fell in love with this place, came here every day to play in the water, and lived a carefree and happy life in the company of small fish. Qin Yun said jokingly, his gaze falling on a place that was farther away than the horizon.
"Big brother is talking nonsense again. Qin Wuyue pouted, thinking that Qin Yun was joking with the fairy again.
Qin Yun helplessly Yaoyao didn't refute it, but what he was telling was indeed the story of a barbarian fairy, a story of a barbarian fairy when he had never met the Great Emperor.
At night, Qin Yun set up a tent by the Holy Lake, and today he decided to rest here. Picking up some dead wood branches in the nearby woods, he skillfully lit a fire.
"Big brother, let's eat something first. Qin Wuyue took out some dry food and water from the cloth bag and handed it to Qin Yun.
Looking at the shriveled steamed bun in his hand, Qin Yun pursed his lips. It didn't matter to him if he had eaten these dry food for one or two meals, but he had been eating them for more than ten days in a row. With a hint of disgust in his eyes, he stood up and said to Wuyue, "Why don't I go and get some meat and come back." ”
With that, Qin Yun broke into the forest and began to look for the prey in his heart. In a short time, he was already deep in the woods. The surroundings were pitch black, and the absence of sunlight made the forest seem extraordinarily silent and terrifying.
Suddenly, the long roar of a lone wolf interrupted the lonely Nanling. Qin Yun pricked up his ears and slowly approached in the direction of the sound. Finally, a mile away from the original place, Qin Yun found the wolf's tracks.
To his surprise, he found not a single wolf, but an entire pack. They have just finished rounding up their prey and are now sharing their food. Qin Yun counted carefully, there were fifteen wolves, and there was a silver-white diamond-shaped inscription on their foreheads.
These wolves have long been cultivated into demons and turned into demon wolves.
"Qi Condensation Period," Qin Yun muttered as he looked at the wolves.
In an instant, a gust of wind swept through, blowing open the dense foliage. The bright moonlight swayed onto the ground, and Qin Yun couldn't help but concentrate when he looked at a demon wolf that was really lying on the boulder.
This demon wolf's hair is all silver white, and it has an indescribable mysterious feeling. At this time, it did not join in the wolves' food, but closed its eyes and rested quietly on the boulder. But even so, this special blue wolf gave Qin Yun an unusually strong sense of oppression.
