Chapter Seventy-One: Mussel Meat
Three days later, Shen Mu and his party landed on a towering cliff somewhere.
At the bottom of the cliff is a rushing river.
It was not flood season, but the river was still turbulent, and the surging waves crashed against the boulders along the way, making a loud rumbling sound, which was deafening.
The shattered water splashed high, causing a hazy mist to hang over the river for a long time.
"Is this the other river? It's better to be famous than to see it. ”
Shen Mu walked to the edge of the cliff, his face was immediately wet with mist, and his long black hair was stained with a little droplets.
The Beanan River originates from a snow-capped mountain somewhere in the eastern part of Qingshizhou, rushes all the way to the southwest, and finally joins the sea, spanning a quarter of Qingshizhou.
Such a long river, in addition to giving birth to the villagers on both sides of the river, must have also bred a lot of big demons, and that mussel spirit dared to call himself the god of the river, which was somewhat unbelievable.
"We're where we're going?"
Shen Mu let go of the shock in his heart and looked at Luo Kuan on the side.
The Divine Boat traveled three thousand miles a day, and after three days of driving at full strength, they were nearly ten thousand miles away from Qinglingmen at this time, and they must have arrived at their destination.
"Not yet, this is the middle of the Beannan River, and our destination is a little lower than the middle reach, and we still have some way to go." While answering Shen Mu's words, Luo Kuan took out a black robe from his arms and covered his whole person inside.
"Let's start walking from here, so we don't get noticed by the cultists."
After saying that, he took out a weird mask and put it on.
Shen Mu looked at it and found that this mask was a fully open mussel shell, covering all the places below Luo Kuan's eyes.
And the rest of the Luo family also did the same, wearing the same outfit as Luo Kuan, black robes and mussel shell masks, but their mussel shells were uniformly white, while Luo Kuan's was red.
"I guess this is the signature costume of that sect, maybe different mask colors represent different status?"
Shen Mu looked at the few people who had finished changing clothes, and he understood in his heart, and at the same time stretched out his hand to Luo Kuan, "Uncle Shi, what about mine?" ”
"Oh, I almost forgot."
A flash of light flashed on Luo Kuan's hand, and a bottle of pill appeared in his hand, "This is a shrinking pill specially refined by the monk in order to facilitate the carrying of giant spirit beasts, which can compress the body size to a quarter of its original size, and it is as effective as a person." There are ten grains in it, and one grain can last two days, so you can eat it now, so that you can disguise yourself as a virgin. ”
"I'm talking about costumes......"
Shen Mu's original intention was to ask for the black robe and the mussel shell mask, but he didn't expect the other party to hand him a bottle of elixir. But think about it, I'm just a sacrifice, and it doesn't matter what I wear.
"Okay!"
Shen Mu took the pill, took out one, and sniffed it in front of his nose, which didn't seem to be harmful.
"Really, I'm your uncle, are you still worried that I'll hurt you?"
After Luo Kuan saw Shen Mu's actions, he put on a very hurt expression.
"Be careful to make the Ten Thousand Year Ship."
Shen Muke didn't care about Luo Kuan's feelings, and after observing the elixir again, he stuffed it into his mouth, grunted, and swallowed it.
A bitter taste came from the tongue, and then there was a hint of heat in the abdomen, and the effect of the Shrinking Pill was attacked.
Shen Mu only felt that his gaze was instantly shortened, and the clothes on his body became loose, and finally it was difficult to hang on, and the whole thing slipped off his body and piled it on the ground.
"Ahh
Several female cultivators who were watching next to them suddenly flew a red fluttering cloud on their faces, covering their red and hot faces and turned around, they were all childish children, and it was the first time in their lives to see this ugly thing, and they were ashamed but happy.
On the other hand, a few male monks did not shy away from it, looking at Shen Mu with interest, with a mysterious smile on their faces. It's like a little friend watching from the side when you are in elementary school.
After perceiving the current situation, Shen Mu hurriedly looked at his body, good guy, after shrinking the ratio, he didn't leave anything on his body, and completely returned to the state he was born in, and once again treated the world honestly.
At the moment, adrenaline rushed to the face, and a sense of urgency came to my heart.
Shen Mu coughed lightly, and hurriedly picked up his shirt and draped it on his body, although the disappearance of the bottom brought a trace of awkward vacuum, but it was better than nothing.
What's more, at this moment, he is just like the bright top back then, still under the siege of the eyes of several big men, the other side is like a wolf and a tiger, and he can't care so much at the moment.
"Hmm...... It's still quite effective, but it's a little stronger. ”
After speaking, Luo Kuan looked at Shen Mu and nodded slightly.
The current Shen Mu, in addition to being a little taller and stronger than ordinary children, looks like a real child.
"Okay, okay, stop looking, it's time to go."
Shen Mu picked up the belt of his clothes, tied his clothes tightly, and said impatiently, I don't know when these guys will see, don't they have it?
After a farce, the group returned to normalcy again, along the Beyan River, all the way to the southwest, and embarked on a journey.
Two days later, everyone finally walked out of the mountain, and the terrain in front of them gradually became flat, the river was a little wider, and the water was no longer as turbulent and vast as they had seen before.
After continuing along the main trunk of the river for a while, a mossy boulder appeared in front of them, which seemed out of place in the surrounding environment.
Shen Mu stood on tiptoe and looked at it, and found that a piece of the boulder had been recessed downward, forming a pit, shaped like a bowl, but there was a small black hole at the bottom.
He stood on the edge and heard the murmuring of water through the mossy boulders.
At this moment, Luo Kuan stopped everyone.
"Stop, everybody!"
"The destination is ahead, and one of our people will come to meet you later. After everyone enters the base, no matter what you see, don't make a noise and behave naturally. ”
Everyone nodded.
Then he walked over to the edge of the mossy boulder, stretched out a hand over the bowl-like pit, and opened his mouth, hidden behind the mussel mask, and began to whisper something.
The voice coming from behind the mask was muffled, and it was difficult to hear the exact contents.
Then the boulder shook slightly, and through the small hole at the bottom of the pit, there was a gurgling sound of water gushing out, as if something was whispering in it.
At the same time, a clear stream of water emerged from the small hole, which quickly filled the small pit like a bowl.
However, the most strange thing is that in addition to the flow of water, there is also a gray band of flesh in the small hole, like a human tongue.
It sticks out of the water and dances.
"Mussel meat?"
After contacting that the target this time was a thousand-year-old clam essence, such a word flashed in Shen Mu's mind.
Isn't this the body of the mussel in the shell? Gray, creamy, flesh like an unhealthy human tongue.
