Chapter 18: Poisonous Mushrooms (2)

"Open the way yourself?" Jiang Chen frowned.

"Yes," Lao Dao said disapprehantly: "This stone wall is used to isolate mortals, and the road is behind the stone wall, and you can open the way with a very simple stone-breaking technique." ”

The Stone Breaking Technique is one of the basic Earth Attribute Five Elements Dao Method, which is very simple for cultivators, as long as they are just beginner Daoists, they can perform it. However, unfortunately, Jiang Chen didn't know the Dao method, and Jiang Wu was also "self-taught", and the Five Elements Basic Dao method they made up was incomplete, so Jiang Wu did not practice stone breaking techniques.

"We practice swordsmanship, brother, you can use the sword to open the way!" Jiang Chen said to Jiang Wu.

"Okay!" Jiang Wu gestured with the Dao sword, and before the sword was unsheathed, he was hurriedly dissuaded by Lao Dao.

"Don't make a move!" Lao Dao was startled, and he said: "Tianluo Wandao, the sword is the strongest! If this sword goes down, I am afraid that the stone gate of the mountain wall will be difficult to repair." Forget it, if you can take out a Dao jade of this quality, and raise a spirit beast like Yinquil, you must not be a mortal person, and the poor Dao will open the way for you. ”

As he spoke, Lao Dao stretched out a palm and grabbed it in the void, and a little bit of colorful spiritual light gathered in his palm, forming a faint spiritual light.

Lao Dao pressed his palm on the stone wall, and this layer of spiritual light immediately seeped into the stone wall.

After a while, only a rumbling sound was heard, and the stone wall cracked open to both sides, and a passage wide enough to appear appeared. The stone stairs in the passage spread upwards with no end in sight.

"Let's go in, there is only this way, and at the end of it is Linglong Pavilion. Lao Dao said.

Jiang Chen Jiang Wu thanked him and quickly climbed the stone stairs.

After seeing Jiang Chen and Jiang Wu go away, Lao Dao cast another spell to close the stone gate of the mountain wall. He said to himself: "I don't know which disciple of the Dao Sect this is, he actually disguises the Dao Qi so well, and he can't even tell that he is a cultivator on the surface, and only the big sect families have such a clever Dao method." ”

Jiang Chen Jiang Wu walked thousands of steps, and it took more than an hour before he finally walked out of the passage. Outside the passage, they looked around, and only then did they realize that they had come to the peak of Qingyun Peak.

In the mist of this peak, there are actually several courtyards and pavilions, even the mountain people who have lived at the foot of the mountain for generations, I am afraid they do not know that this unclimbable Qingyun Peak has another cave.

"This is Linglong Pavilion!" Jiang Chen and Jiang Wu walked into a courtyard together, and happened to see two young people, a man and a woman, laughing here.

When the young man and woman saw someone coming, they smiled and subconsciously distanced themselves, as if they were talking to a young couple who were bumped into by outsiders.

"I'm sorry to disturb!" Jiang Chen bowed: "May I ask Brother Dao, where is there a place to sell pills in Linglong Pavilion?"

The young man replied with a salute and said, "It's unfortunate that Daoist friends came, and Fang City is temporarily closed. The people from Yaowangzhuang came, and they were identifying the spiritual herb elixir for all the Taoist friends, and the opportunity was rare, so everyone went to the Jufeng Hall next to it, and the Fang Market would not open until the appraisal meeting was completed. ”

"I see! Thank you for your advice!" Jiang Chen thanked him and immediately withdrew from the courtyard with Jiang Wu.

Jiang Chen Jiang Wu immediately went to another courtyard next to him, and before he could go in, he heard a commotion of people, obviously there were quite a few people.

The two brothers walked through the courtyard and into a large hall, which was already surrounded by hundreds of people, men, women, and children, but mainly young men. Most of these people are dressed in Taoist robes, and some of them are dressed in secular clothes, looking like scholars or wealthy families.

"Are these people all Taoists?" Jiang Chen looked around, quite curious in his heart.

Suddenly, Jiang Chen saw a familiar face, and he whispered to Jiang Wu: "That white-clothed young man of the same age as me is not the young hall master of the Sanhe River Pavilion?"

Jiang Wu glanced at the young man in white and nodded: "That's right, it's him." ”

Sanhe Road Pavilion is a century-old Taoist hall in Sanhe County that has been passed down from generation to generation, when Jiang Chen Jiang Wu first learned Taoism, he once went to Sanhe River Museum to apprentice, but unfortunately he was turned away. Because the Taoism of the Sanhe Canal, only the eldest son and grandson can teach it. Except for the hall owner and the young hall owner, the rest of the hall is a miscellaneous person and does not know the Tao.

"After all, there was a relationship, so let's go and say hello when you see it. Jiang Chen said, then walked towards the young man with Jiang Wu, and took the initiative to greet: "Master Jiang Shao, we met again by coincidence." ”

The young man looked at them suspiciously and asked, "Who are you?"

Jiang Chen said with some embarrassment: "We are Jiang Chen and Jiang Wu, the two brothers of the Chenwu Dao Pavilion in Yunlan Town, and they also went to the Sanhe River Pavilion to apprentice the year before last, don't you remember the young hall master?"

The young man said lightly: "Every year, there are many people who want to be Taoist heroes to go to this Taoist hall to apprentice, how can Jiang remember them one by one! However, I didn't expect that in several nearby counties and towns, in addition to my Sanhe River Pavilion, there are actually other Taoist halls with real Taoist heroes, who can enter the Linglong Pavilion." Why haven't I seen you before?"

"This is the first time we're here!" Jiang Chen smiled and asked, "Why are everyone crowded here?"

"Because of them!" said the boy, pointing to the center surrounded by the crowd.

There were two women here, one of whom looked to be in her early twenties, with a dignified and elegant temperament, and was a very beautiful woman. The other is wearing a veil and can't see his face, but judging from his figure, he should also be a graceful girl.

"These two are the eldest lady and the third lady of Yaowangzhuang. The young man said: "Although Yaowangzhuang is not a Taoist family, it has a great reputation in the rivers and lakes, and all the elixirs that have been identified by Yaowangzhuang are convinced by all Taoist friends. ”

A young man dressed as a scholar next to him smiled and whispered, "If it was just to identify the elixir, there wouldn't be so many people." This time, the third lady of Yaowangzhuang also came. It is said that these three young ladies are the most outstanding and intelligent among the four sisters of Yaowangzhuang, she rarely goes out, and few outsiders can see her. This time, she followed the eldest lady to deliver the elixir to various markets, maybe it was to take the opportunity to contact the young talents in the rivers and lakes, after all, in terms of age, the third lady was almost the time to talk about marriage. ”

"No wonder so many young Taoists came! It turns out that the drunkard doesn't mean to drink!" Jiang Chen nodded, and couldn't help but look at the three young ladies a few more times.

Seeing this, Jiang Wu smiled and said: "Brother, in terms of talent, you are second to none among the Taoist heroes here! Why don't you spend some effort to marry those three young ladies, you will have a headache in the future, and you don't need me to boil medicine!"

Jiang Chen also smiled: "This is not good! These three young ladies are wearing veils, if they are ugly, it will be a big loss!"

Although the joke between the two brothers was very quiet, it was still heard by several Taoist heroes around them, and they all turned their heads and looked at each other angrily. The third lady seemed to hear it too, and glanced here.

The eldest lady coughed lightly and said, "Do you fellow Daoists still have any elixirs that need to be identified? If not, this is the end of today, and I will leave for the next Fang City." The next time Honjo delivers the elixir, he will also help fellow Daoists identify the elixir by the way. ”

"Yes, yes!" a young man hurriedly squeezed forward, presented a wooden box, and said: "All the Taoist friends of Yaowangzhuang have come from afar, why don't you rest here for a few days, and we can also fulfill the friendship of the landlord." ”

"No need!" the eldest lady took the wooden box and was about to identify it, but the young man said, "Can you ask the third lady to look at it?"

The eldest lady smiled slightly and said, "The third sister's herbal technique is indeed much higher than that of the concubine. If the concubine can't be identified, then give it to the third sister for identification. ”

The eldest lady opened the wooden box, only glanced at it, then closed it again and handed it to the young man, saying, "It's a Hundred Years of Spirit Wu." This common elixir can be distinguished by many Taoist friends, so there is no need to take it out for identification. ”

The young man took the wooden box and retreated. From beginning to end, the three young ladies didn't look at him, which made him very depressed.

Jiang Chen snickered in his heart, this young man probably specially prepared an elixir, intending to use it to set it up, but the result was completely ineffective.

"But are there any other elixirs that need to be identified?" asked the eldest lady in a loud voice.

"Yes. An old man sent over a wooden box that was a square foot, and handed it to the eldest lady through the guards of Yaowangzhuang beside the eldest lady.

The eldest lady opened the wooden box and saw a colorful Ganoderma lucidum, which was very colorful.

"It's a very rare reishi mushroom. The eldest lady frowned slightly: "But I can't tell the year." Third sister, do you know what kind of elixir this is?"

The eldest lady handed the wooden box to the third lady behind her, and the third lady looked at the wooden box for a while, and suddenly reached out and took out the colorful lingzhi.

Generally speaking, when identifying the elixir, the elixir will not be picked up directly, so the third lady's action made everyone a little surprised. However, their eyes were quickly attracted by the colored Lingzhi in the hands of the third lady.

"What kind of elixir is this, there are colored Ganoderma lucidum!" someone exclaimed.

Jiang Wu was also very curious, Jiang Chen's face changed instantly, and he remembered a kind of monster he had seen on the "Ten Thousand Demon Spectrum"!

"Be careful!" Jiang Chen hurriedly shouted, "This seems to be a poisonous mushroom!"

As soon as the words fell, the colored Lingzhi suddenly burst open with a "bang", forming countless tiny spores, like a layer of colored smoke enveloping the third lady's body.

The third lady snorted, and collapsed to the ground, without breath.
