Chapter 51: A trip for nothing
Qingling Ring is the name that Liu Lu gave to the storage ring.
To Liu Lu's surprise, and even more grateful, Xian Yi actually said that the Qingling Ring and the instrument were handed over to him for safekeeping, meaning that they were given to him.
In this regard, Liu Lu naturally did not be polite to Xianyi, and wore it on the fingers of his left hand in person, but what made people feel quite imperfect was that he could not use the Qingling Ring now, and could only be used as an ornament for the time being, and he had to ask Xianyi for help when he wanted to use it.
With the Qingling Ring, a safe and private magical thing, which can not only hold a lot of things, but also carry it with him, Liu Lu soon planned to put all his valuable things in it.
The things he cared about and were quite valuable, in addition to the small courtyard that couldn't be moved, like two stones picked up in the early years, and the very valuable night pearl, and some miscellaneous things, all of which let Xian Yi be included in the Qingling Ring.
In this process, even if Liu Lu asked Xian Yi to load a few broken clothes and broken shoes into the Qingling Ring, Xian Yi did not refuse, but only the wooden box containing the wooden statue and wooden card did not receive the Qingling Ring, Xian Yi just replied to this "can't accept it" and then directly changed back to the body and began to pretend to be dead, no matter how he asked, Xian Yi just stopped replying, although he had a lot of questions about this, but Xian Yi ignored him, and he could only regret it.
After that, Liu Lu only stayed in his small courtyard for a day, and then planned to go out again, the target was the place he inquired about in the black market a few days ago, which was the address of the copper tripod dug up by the stall owner who sold it to him.
After understanding the value of Tongding, Liu Lu was full of expectations for this trip, and even put aside Zhang Cailing's dedication to striking while the iron was hot, and had no heart to take care of it.
The place I went to this time was a place called Quanshan, not in the boundary of Star City, but it was not very far, almost three hundred miles south of Star City, on the edge of an old city with a lot of history.
Liu Lu followed the fast horse alone, and arrived at Quanshan in less than four days, a mountainous land with many water pools and deep valleys, and a wilderness with a primitive atmosphere.
Carrying a long sword, wearing a hat, carrying a half-bellied gourd filled with water, and wearing a gray and white plain coarse cloth shirt.
Standing on a low hill with a wide field of vision, Liu Lu frowned, looking at either the mountains and barren forests or the Qingxi small pools in the ravines, as for the black market man, there was a huge Wangfu stone on the top of the mountain, which was being trampled under his feet at the moment.
"I don't see anything out of the ordinary, I won't be deceived."
"Do you see anything?" Liu Lu asked Xianyi.
The beast-shaped Xianyi also stood on the stone, looking around, "I didn't notice it." ”
"I'd better look around, but if it doesn't work, I'll have to forget it."
Liu Lu and Xianyi were not too disappointed, they had already realized this matter before, and they were just gambling on luck, as for whether the black markete merchant who told them was lying to them, Liu Lu really didn't pay much attention to this, and he didn't feel anything to be angry about.
Then it took nearly two hours to look at all the surrounding ravines and ravines, but he still didn't find anything, and Xianyi didn't notice anything suspicious.
Liu Lu sat and rested by a small pool with a clear spring emerging from the mountain, and the cool water vapor swept away the fatigue of his body.
"Xianyi, don't you feel it at all, then how do you feel that copper tripod?"
Although Xianyi is in the form of a little white beast, he seems to like this waterhole quite a lot, as if he can't feel the cold, soaking in the water with only his head exposed.
"That's because the half-finished Qingling Ring was sealed in those waste residues and preserved most of the spirituality, as well as faint spiritual power fluctuations, plus the distance was close at that time, and there was nothing to cover me, otherwise with the little strength I have left now, that instrument Ding is really going to be buried deep in the ground, and I can't do anything."
"Isn't your body a buttress, can't you feel the situation in the soil when you are rooted in the ground?"
"Hey, your kid has a very bright brain, the wood spirit class does have a talent in this area, you can still think of such a layer." Xian Yi was quite impressed by Liu Lu.
"But do you still need to say it!"
Liu Lu also complained casually, since there was nothing to gain, he was not ready to stay in this barren mountain and suffer overnight.
When he was about to leave, Liu Lu bypassed the waterhole soaked in Xianyi, and filled the gourd filled with water in the upstream place, which naturally met Xianyi's eyes, and was poured down by Xianyi from the head with a beam of water, Liu Lu couldn't tell whether it was Xianyi's urine or the water in the pool, and scolded Xianyi without the slightest way.
When he left Quanshan, Liu Lu did not return according to the way he came, and he didn't even take the kind of sheep intestine path trampled by humans and beasts, but walked out of the mountain along the flow of the mountain stream.
Xianyi didn't know what was wrong, just stayed in the stream and drifted with the waves, compared to the depth of the stream, Xianyi's body shape looked really not small, but Xianyi didn't seem to have weight, floating on the water like a floating leaf, drifting leisurely with the current, even if Liu Lu said the sky on the side, Xianyi still turned a deaf ear and drifted down the river indifferently, looking like Liu Lu hated itchy.
No matter what Liu Lu said, or even threatened with a sword, Xian Yi was unmoved, and Liu Lu could only be helpless to defeat the battle, and followed closely by Xian Yi, fortunately, the place where the stream flowed was twisting and turning, and it was not very fast, so he did not let him die directly.
After running with Xianyi for half an hour, Liu Lu suddenly came back to his senses, and didn't understand when he cared so much about Xianyi, wasn't he coerced by Xianyi to get rid of him, could it be because he was corrupted by the Qingling Ring, Liu Lu touched the Qingling Ring on his finger and thought.
"No, although this guy is now my lucky boy, he still can't be manipulated by him, otherwise the team will not be easy to bring in the future, and my identity will be changed from master to slave......" The more Liu Lu thought about it, the more he felt that it was necessary to give Xian Yi some color.
Then, Liu Lu solemnly warned Xian Yi and asked Xian Yi to come out and leave, otherwise he would leave alone.
It's just that Xian Yi is still floating down the stream, and he still turns a deaf ear to Liu Lu's words, even if Liu Lu's stopped figure completely disappeared in his sight, Xian Yi is still unmoved and continues to float on the water.
"This bastard!" After seeing Xian Yi disappear, Liu Lu scolded secretly, ignored Xian Yi, and began to look for other ways out.
An hour later, when night fell, Liu Lu finally came out of Quanshan and came to the town outside the mountain.
Just as Liu Lu was passing by the stone bridge over the creek in front of the town, he was startled by an abrupt voice.
"I didn't expect your kid to be so interested, he likes to run around in the deep mountains and old forests!"
Liu Lu knew who it was as soon as he heard the voice, and then found that Xian Yi appeared on top of a stone carved beast at the head of the bridge.
"I've been waiting for you for a long time." Xian Yi said a little lazily.
Xianyi's elusive Liu Lu had seen it many times, so he was not surprised at all, but after hearing what he said just now, he quickly figured out the problem.
Liu Lu was furious, "You already knew that going down the stream was a shortcut? ”
"Ahh Xianyi let out a long moan, as if he was lying on his stomach very comfortably. "Looking at the mountains and water, it's a very simple thing."
"Then you don't tell me." Thinking of the toss on the way back, Liu Lu's anger intensified.
"I thought you knew that common sense." Xianyi also had an innocent expression.
Liu Lu understood that this was Xianyi's deliberate pastime for him, so he immediately raised his foot and kicked out, preparing to kick Xianyi directly off the bridge.
"Fuck your uncle!"
Not surprisingly, he kicked it in the air.
Before his feet landed on Xianyi, a white shadow flashed, and a rattan bracelet was completely put on his left wrist.
