Volume 2 Cloud Viewing City Chapter 114 Smoke Village
Seven days later, a leaf boat slowly landed on the east side of Qingyang Mountain, and then entered the territory of Qingyang Mountain twenty miles to the west.
A white figure was the first to rush out of the boat, drifting in the air for seven days, and the flowers were like snow and couldn't wait to land on their feet and breathe the air in the forest.
It's the season of spring flowers, but the branches of the trees here are withered and lifeless, as if winter is coming. Z.br>
Su Yi, Ning Shuyan, Lin Feng and other eight people followed closely, Ning Shuyan wore a blue and green dress embroidered with irises, her eyebrows raised slightly, looked around curiously, and asked, "Where is this?"
Su Yi took the boat, and when he saw the situation in front of him, he couldn't help but be a little surprised, now there is still such a thin place in the human world.
He said, "According to records, the Lingyin Underground Palace is located at the intersection of mortals, monks, and ghost clans, and the spiritual energy is sometimes strong and sometimes weak, and the yin energy is strong."
"The aura in this place is weak and matches the record, let's go to the front first." Hua Ruxue said while walking at the front of the team to open the way.
The location of the Lingyin Underground Palace was found by Su Yi from the autobiography of the Sword Immortal Su Changyou, when the Sword Immortal Master accidentally entered the Lingyin Underground Palace in order to send a resentful ghost to Huangquan Road to eliminate his grievances.
The original human realm was divided into the monk realm and the mortal realm according to the strength of the aura, and the mortal realm was adjacent to the Forest of No Return. And now the human world is full of spiritual energy, and the monk world is connected to the Forest of No Return.
The weakening of the spiritual energy here may be the precursor to finding the Lingyin Underground Palace, and it is not wrong to follow this path.
The group walked in the forest for a quarter of an hour, and there was a stump every two old trees around them, and the uneven marks on the edges of the stumps were seen, and the old trees were cut down by blunt axes, and the traces were new, and it was not a day.
The further you go, the more and more the stumps there are, the marks on the stumps become more and more old and smooth, the axe is the same and the person who cuts the tree is the same person, the only difference is that the axe is blunted.
After walking a little further, I saw a middle-aged man dressed in a coarse coat, with a slight bulge on his chest, as if he was carrying some dry food, and a rusty axe in his hand.
Hua Ruxue hurriedly stepped forward to ask the middle-aged man for directions, but the middle-aged man walked past her as if he didn't see her.
Lin Feng saw that Hua Ruxue couldn't talk, so he stepped forward confidently, but he was directly skipped by the middle-aged man, he coughed lightly twice to relieve the embarrassment, and said, "Big brother Xu is in a hurry to cut down trees."
If he is in a hurry to cut down a tree, then the axe in his hand should be sharpened no matter what. Although Hua Ruxue was puzzled, she saw that the middle-aged man didn't pay any attention to their meaning, so she had to continue to walk forward with everyone.
The further they went, the less aura around them became, until the group saw a village called Yanmiao Village, and the aura disappeared completely.
Hua Ruxue looked up and down at the boulder carved with the words "Smoke Village", which seemed to come from the Shattered Star Mountains, that is, Guanyun City.
A group of people entered the village in a mighty way, the courtyard in the village is sparse, not the impression of the white house and the cold door, than the house, there is only one every other mile, the high wall and green tiles, just look at the appearance compared to the house in the cloud city, it is also a lot more luxurious.
Passing by a few more houses, the courtyard gradually became simple, and in one of the courtyards there were still freshly washed coarse cloth clothes, and a woman was fetching water by the well.
"How does this feel like entering a country house?" Lin Feng looked at the courtyard in surprise, "I've never seen anyone who can't even use the simplest dust removal technique."
The woman who was in the clothes was clearly a qi cultivator, cleaning the house and washing clothes, but there was no need for such trouble in a matter of dust cleaning.
Hua Ruxue, who was reluctant to use the dust removal technique, silently looked away, she saw two more people coming in front of her, and just stepped forward, the two walked past her as if they didn't see her.
Lin Feng tidied up his clothes a little, regained his confidence, and walked towards the two people, before they could speak, the two of them, like the middle-aged man he had just met, directly ignored Lin Feng's existence.
Just when Hua Ruxue and Lin Feng doubted themselves, a white-haired old man walked in front of them.
Hua Ruxue saw the old man coming, and hurriedly hid away, but was ignored one after another, do you want her face as the boss?
No, she can't be the only one to be disgraced!
she
Turning his head to look at Su Yi, he said, "It's your turn this time."
Su Yi could only cooperate in the face of her childish behavior. He stepped forward and asked respectfully, "The juniors and his party strayed into this room, dare to ask the seniors where this is?"
The old man opened his slightly cloudy eyes, revealing a hint of clarity, swept over the nine people present, and said slowly: "This is Yanmiao Village, and I am the village chief here."
Without waiting for Su Yi to ask anything more, he saw the village chief smiling, he looked at the clear sky in the west and said, "The hour is still early, the sunset is not yet late, a few distant guests may wish to rest here for a day."
The village chief seemed to know something, the Lingyin Underground Palace only appeared at night, and the entrance could not be found during the day.
Hua Ruxue and Su Yi exchanged glances, and decided to rest in Yanmiao Village for a day first, and then make plans after nightfall, if they could get any news from the village chief, it would naturally be the best.
"The village chief let us borrow this place, it must be a good person, and I want to do something for the village chief." Hua Ruxuedrift stepped forward with a smile, getting closer to the village chief, and could smell the faint medicinal fragrance from him, it seemed that the village chief was still an alchemist.
The village chief refused with a smile, "The person who comes is a guest, as the village chief, I should do my best to be a landlord, but there are few outsiders in Yanmiao Village, except for me, they are very resistant to outsiders, if they annoy you, please don't blame."
"The village chief laughed, this time we were the first to disturb." Su Yi was respectful and polite, with a gentle attitude.
The village chief seemed to be very satisfied with Su Yi's attitude and personally led the way for several people.
When they arrived at a secluded courtyard, the village chief pointed to the three or four courtyards around and said, "These courtyards have been abandoned for a long time, so you can live in peace."
Before leaving, the village chief told again: "A few people who are not from Yanmiao Village, don't enter the ancestral hall."
A few people responded obediently, and they felt more and more strange in the village.
Lin Feng was the first to voice his doubts: "I have never heard of Yanmiao Village, there is no trace of aura here, but everyone else in the village is a Qi cultivation period cultivator, and the cultivation of the village chief is even more incomprehensible."
"This village does not belong to any faction, and not all monks are willing to cultivate immortals and kill demonic beasts." Su Yi looked at the furnishings of the courtyard, every grass and tree was normal.
The wooden door made of elm trees seems to have been painted with a peony, mottled in color, and it looks like it has been around for some years.
Ning Shuyan pointed to the stone mill in the courtyard, which was a stone unique to Guanyun City, she seemed to think of something, and said, "I heard from Master a few years ago that during a beast tide hundreds of years ago, a group of monks in Guanyun City escaped......
Before Ning Shuyan finished speaking, she felt the anger coming from her surroundings, and suddenly realized that what she said was wrong, and hurriedly closed her mouth.
The appearance of traitors in Guanyun City has always been a taboo in the hearts of everyone in Guanyun City.
Feng Helan and the others all understood what she was talking about, and when they looked at the courtyard again, they couldn't help but have some emotions in their hearts.
He Yuan was dissatisfied: "We are guarding the front, and they are enjoying the blessings here? How can there be such a good thing in the world?"
In the memories of Hua Ruxue and Su Yi, Guanyun City has always been a gathering place for all monks, and they have never heard of a traitor in Guanyun City, or in the tide of beasts that threaten their survival.
Lin Xi, as the eldest of several people, knew the most about the appearance of traitors in Guanyun City, and he sighed:
"There was no such high wall outside Guanyun City, and in a beast tide seven hundred years ago, a group of people suddenly left their posts without permission, followed by the second and third teams, hundreds of people disappeared without a trace as if they had been discussed, and the established defensive array was suddenly full of loopholes. If it weren't for the city lord at that time who never returned to the forest in time, how could there be a Cloud Viewing City in the world?"
After listening to Lin Xi's words, the anger in their hearts was even worse, with He Yuan as the most, they were furious, drew their swords and rushed out of the courtyard: "I'm going to ask them now!"
Hua Ruxue hurriedly stopped and stopped the person, she remembered that He Yuan had sneered at her at the beginning, she thought that he was just unhappy with no one and had a poisonous mouth, but she didn't expect her temper to be so short-tempered, and she was about to draw her sword when she was angry. I have to say that this has a fight with Ning Shuyan.
"Those people outside are only in the Qi cultivation period, according to what Lin Xi said, the defection happened seven hundred years ago, and the longevity of the Qi cultivation period is worth a hundred years, it can't be them."
Su Yiye
"Those who participate in the beast tide are at least in the foundation building period, and have nothing to do with the people in the village."
"Yes, the purpose of our trip is to find the Lingyin Underground Palace and pick the Lingyin Grass. It's not dark yet, so let's replenish our spiritual power as soon as possible." Feng Helan persuaded that whether these people were traitors or not, it was not for them to interfere.
Hua Ruxue waved her small hand and divided the two spirit gathering arrays to a few people, "Feng Helan, He Yuan, and Lin Feng have one courtyard, Lin Xi, Lin Tian and Huang San have one courtyard, you can put away the spirit gathering array, and after dark, everyone will gather in this courtyard."
Looking at the backs of a few people who were ordered to leave, Hua Ruxue was very satisfied with her assignment, He Yuan was short-tempered and windy, Helan and Lin Feng were able to suppress it, and Huang San and Lin Tian listened to Lin Xi's words very much.
"Sister!" The snake vulture excitedly ran out of the beast bag and rubbed Hua Ruxue's head affectionately, "Sister must have understood that I was bored for too long, so she deliberately drove them out."
Hua Ruxue slapped the snake vulture on the head, if she was dyed with the smell of demon beasts, how would she sneak out to find out the news?
Wait, there's a snake vulture here!
Hua Ruxue rubbed her head for the snake vulture apologetically, "Ah Jiu, look at if there is your little brother around, go out quietly and don't be discovered."
"Take this." Ning Shuyan placed a sky-blue bead around the neck of the snake vulture, "This bead can help you hide your breath, and if you encounter danger, you can break the bead and teleport back to me."
The snake vulture blinked and was in a happy mood, "Sure enough, my master's favorite is still me!"
Hua Ruxue couldn't help but show a look of envy when she saw this situation, thinking that when she was still Su Yi's temporary contract beast, it would be good for Su Yi not to pit her spirit stone every day, and there were not many people like Sister Ning who were beautiful and kind-hearted.
As if feeling Hua Ruxue's resentment, Su Yi bent his eyes, took out a piece of glass candy and handed it to Hua Ruxue.
The moment she saw the glass candy, a sentence came to Hua Ruxue's mind: You never know what will be in a monk's storage bag.
Hua Ruxue reluctantly put the sugar into her storage bag, and after several years of accumulation, she had more glass candy in her storage bag than spirit stones.
This person coaxed her like a child, is she still addicted?
Sooner or later, I will let him know that she is the most powerful fox demon in the world!
It's not a piece of sugar that can be coaxed, anyway, it also requires thousands of high-grade spirit stones!
