Chapter 8: She Runs Away from Him (1)
The weather in the fog forest has always been very unpredictable, such as the wind season, the snow season, the rainy season, it may be the wind season for half a year, and then suddenly enter the snow season, or it may just be a snowfall, and it will immediately enter the rainy season, just like now.
The recent humidity of the air is a clear sign of the rainy season, which is the most stable, and once it rains, it will be three months in a row, and the rain will not stop.
During this time, the monks of the cultivation realm generally do not come to the mountain fog forest, after all, it is raining, not to mention that the road is slippery and the vision is not clear, even the hidden demon beasts and the elixir that have been shattered by the rain, not to mention the effort, it is easy to do useless work.
This wave of caravans returning to the town is estimated to be the last wave before the rainy season, and it is also the last way for Lu Chaoyan to leave the mountain fog forest and return to the Heavenly Dao Sect.
Lu Chaoyan is also a monk who often goes down the mountain to practice, so she will not be ignorant of these common senses, but she still refuses:
"Do your thing! Don't say anything else! ”
Sang Ling was not discouraged, and nodded casually:
"What else does the fairy need, I'll pick it."
It's been like this for the past few days, Lu Chaoyan gave the list, Sang Ling went to collect it, and handed it over in a few days.
Lu Chaoyan took out a jade plate that had been prepared a long time ago and threw it to Sang Ling:
"The elixir and demon pill I want are all on it, the efficacy, useful parts, and appearance are all in the jade plate, compare them yourself!"
Xie Hanzhou is still the same, except for his cheeks are more rosy, his eyes have been closed, and he has not woken up.
Sang Ling knew that even if Xie Hanzhou continued to fall asleep, Lu Chaoyan would leave, she couldn't wait.
Sang Ling withdrew from the cave, but she was not in a hurry to leave, found a place to light a fire, and sat down quietly.
There are only three things written in the jade plaque, Firefly Zhi, Du Heng, and Ghost Mother Du.
These three things have also appeared before, and the amount he collected is large, Lu Chaoyan will definitely not be insufficient, thinking of the storage bag handed over today, Sang Ling smiled coldly:
"The elixir in the storage bag twice in a row is wrong, and I didn't find it, it seems that you won't use the elixir demon pill I collected. He also instructed me to collect every day, and now the amount is getting smaller and smaller, Lu Chaoyan, you are also in a hurry, right? ”
Lu Chaoyan was in a hurry.
They had been delayed in the misty forest for too long, and the rainy season was coming soon, and she and Xie Hanzhou had to delay in the rainforest for another three months, and the time was too long.
The communication jade pendant lit up, and the urging voice of the elder of the medicine gate came:
"Since Senior Nephew Xie is now in stable condition, you can bring him back immediately. If the delay is too long, I'm afraid it will get worse. ”
Lu Chaoyan's eyebrows frowned slightly:
"If it weren't for that demon who used the Forgetfulness Fruit on Han Zhou, which inspired him to recognize the sea's injuries, Han Zhou wouldn't have woken up by now."
The Medicine Gate Elder was puzzled:
"Forget your worries unless you take a large amount, but you won't have such a serious injury at all, Master Xie's nephew is a profound cultivator, he exercises on his own, and then cooperates with my prescription, but he can wake up in seven days. It's still the case now, maybe it's really that weird formation, and that puppet can't be killed. ”
Lu Chaoyan hated it very much, during these days, she deliberately broke away from Sang Ling, on the one hand, she didn't want to give her a chance to do anything, and on the other hand, she went back to the formation that day, wanting to depict and restore the original magic circle and study the principle.
But I don't know if it's because of the broken gluttonous formation, or if Xie Hanzhou's sword that broke the formation was too fierce and domineering, and he couldn't even find any traces of the original spell.
Seeing that she was silent, the elders of the medicine gate knew that according to the relationship between Lu Chaoyan and Xie Hanzhou for many years, now that Xie Hanzhou was like this, Lu Chaoyan must be uncomfortable in his heart.
He comforted intimately:
"I've looked through some old books here, but I've found some ways to try. You should go back to the teacher as soon as possible, and don't delay any longer. ”
Three days later.
After receiving Lu Chaoyan's summons, he was notified to meet immediately, and when he left in the caravan carriage, Sang Ling had no accident.
The rainy season is approaching and the air becomes cooler.
Under the thin sunlight, the shadows of the dense trees fell on the mud floor of the cave, and the rustle swayed in the wind.
Sang Ling touched the prominent red mole between her eyebrows, and the touch under her fingers was only the small, round Microsoft round mole, and there was no other abnormality, she let go of her heart.
After lying like a corpse in the cave for three days, Sang Ling stood up and stretched a big waist directly, smiling easily.
"After staying up for three days, this problem can be regarded as solving, and it is really rusty that people are going to lie down."
It was not early, Sang Ling cleaned up the traces in the cave, took out the storage bag prepared in advance, and hurried to the foot of the mountain.
Mohui Town.
The caravan was ready to leave, carrying a lot of goods on horseback, a businessman dressed as a boss nodded to Lu Chaoyan and said something, Lu Chaoyan politely handed over a high-quality spirit stone to the other party.
The iron law of the cultivation realm stipulates that monks are not allowed to harm mortals at will, and for a hundred years, monks and mortals have been on an equal footing, and the well water does not interfere with the river water.
Sang Ling pursed her lips, shouting and shouting at herself, but she was polite and polite to mortals, sure enough, the demon is inferior, not only lower than monks, but also lower than mortals.
Lu Chaoyan saw Sang Ling who was probing his brain at this side at a glance, and his eyes were cold.
"Since you're here, you can't come yet."
Sang Ling secretly rolled her eyes, look, this is the attitude towards herself, like a dog shouting a chicken.
With a smile on his face, he ran over, and handed the storage bag to Lu Chaoyan as if offering a treasure.
"Fairy, I have prepared the elixir you mentioned, I am afraid that I will use it on the road, so I specially collected more, so the time is a little delayed."
Sang Ling even frowned at the tip of her nose, her delicate eyebrows were twisted, and she looked at Lu Chaoyan with a little shyness, which made people can't bear to blame.
Such a delicate and gorgeous appearance can really make you annoyed by that person.
Lu Chaoyan carefully counted the elixir in the storage bag, and estimated that it was three days' supply, and Sang Ling didn't have time to do anything else, so he put his mind at ease and put the storage bag back, which didn't mean to use it.
Sang Ling knew her thoughts, and she was ready to deal with it a long time ago, but there was no danger.
Lu Chaoyan squinted at the puppet in front of him, and said slowly:
"Let's go together, after returning to the sect, when Hanzhou wakes up, I will take back the life and death talisman, and I can set you free."
Sang Ling is not blind, Lu Chaoyan's killing intention is not too obvious, okay, if he really wants to follow back to the Heavenly Dao Sect, it will become a piece of meat on the board, and it will be steamed or braised with them.
The stunning and beautiful puppet was unaware, and there was still a shy and innocent smile on his face:
"Okay, as long as I can cure the illness of the Immortal Monarch, I will return to the Heavenly Dao Sect with the Fairy, and when the illness is cured, I will go back to the Misty Forest of the Mountain and never go down the mountain again."
The two looked at each other and smiled, the atmosphere was harmonious, but they had ghosts in their hearts and calculated their own plans.
Sang Ling sat in front of the car, and Lu Chaoyan placed Xie Hanzhou, who was still unconscious, in the carriage and didn't come out again.
It was calm for several days.
Sang Ling pinched her fingers and counted the time and distance, and finally found an opportunity for her, that is, in Shuzhou City.
The Kunlun continent resembles a Kunlun, with a large head and a round belly and a slender tail, with its head to the northeast and its tail to the southwest.
The flat and fertile land in the northeast is called Dongzhou, and the Heavenly Dao Sect, the first major sect in the cultivation realm, is entrenched here.
Zezhou in the southeast, the river is more watery and the east is close to the sea, and the people are outstanding. Guazhou in the northwest, the desert has little water, and there are many demon beasts and evil cultivators. The southwest is Shuzhou, with a humid climate and many mountains and rivers. Middle, Midstate.
Shuzhou is located in the tail of the Kunlun continent, the shape is slender and long, the tip of the tail is the fog forest of the mountain, because of the perennial dense fog, sparsely populated, there are many spirits and spirits, so it is named.
Out of the mountain fog forest in the east, it is Shuzhou.
As the saying goes: "It is difficult to go to Shu Road, and it is difficult to go to the sky." It is to describe the wonderful thrilling and unsurpassable majestic momentum of Shuzhou.
The caravan traveled three days up a narrow mountain road and came to a city.
At the junction of Shuzhou, Guazhou and Zezhou, there is a city with a flat waterway, which is the most prosperous city in Shuzhou - Tianfu City.
The city of Tianfu is towering, there are many monks and mortals, and trade is developed, so the caravans will unload and rest here.
And if Lu Chaoyan wanted to go to the Heavenly Dao Sect, he also needed to change to the merchant ships of Tianfu City, travel northeast through the waterway, and return directly to the Dongzhou Heavenly Dao Sect.
The return trip by water is downstream, the speed is faster, not out of Sang Ling's expectations, Lu Chaoyan chose to take a merchant ship, the journey only takes ten days.
Sang Ling followed the flow of people and moved to the wharf, where the waterway was extremely wide, and there were many large and small merchant ships parked on the wharf.
Small merchant ships can go back and forth nearby, to go to Dongzhou must be the largest one, there is only one flight every seven days, once the ship goes straight to Dongzhou at full speed, the road will never stop, and there will be no turning back.
The merchant ship was very long and large, with cargo at the bottom of the cabin and rooms above the deck for people, and the rooms were bigger and more expensive the higher they were.
The Heavenly Dao Sect is wealthy, Lu Chaoyan naturally set a wing room on the top floor, and Sang Ling handed over a large number of spirit stones to the merchant ship steward, and exchanged them for three thin jade cards, which were the keys to the wing room.
It can also be seen from this that monks are higher than mortals, and only monks have a share in this topmost enjoyment.
Sang Ling squeezed through the crowd and handed the ticket to Lu Chaoyan, who stopped her with his backhand and warned:
"Don't give me any thoughts, honestly go back to the Heavenly Dao Sect with me, and after the matter is completed, I will naturally set you free!"
Sang Lin nodded hurriedly and said obediently:
"The fairy is benevolent, and the villain is naturally sincere and obedient, and he listens to you in everything."
It seems that there is no possibility for Sang Ling to escape in the next journey, and it may also be that Sang Ling was obedient before, Lu Chaoyan only put cruel words and drew cakes, and did not really activate the life and death charm.
Seeing that Lu Chaoyan lowered his head and wanted to help Xie Hanzhou into the wing, Sang Ling shook the white sweat that had just been scared out of his back, and did not follow.
The river is open, the wind is howling, and the sun is shining.
The strong wind blew away the cold sweat behind him, leaving only a piece of refreshment.
Sang Ling blinked her dark eyes and said flatteringly:
"Fairy, it's still early to sail, I'm going to the deck to buy some fresh fruit and pastries? And so as not to get bored on the journey. ”
Lu Chaoyan paused, and wanted to refuse, but thought that if Xie Hanzhou woke up halfway, it would not be good if there was no fresh fruit to moisten his mouth.
