Chapter 16: The Twilight Trout Mirror of Everything
In a blink of an eye, it was the day when the secret realm opened, Changyue went out with the little monk early in the morning, and they planned to go to the place where the entrance of the secret realm was located early to see the situation, after all, it was the first time to come.
The entrance to the secret realm is in the Barren Wind Canyon outside the city of Hundred Flowers, which is a place that few people usually go to, because of the strange wind blowing all year round and no grass grows everywhere, hence the name.
When Changyue and the others arrived there, many people had already arrived, and everyone was quietly waiting for the city lord of Hundred Flowers City to open the entrance to the secret realm.
Around noon, colorful flowers suddenly fell from the sky, and even bursts of sweet and greasy floral fragrance permeated it, causing Changyue to almost sneeze.
"It's coming!" Suddenly, someone said.
As soon as the man's words fell, a gorgeously dressed sedan chair appeared in mid-air, carried by four girls wearing veils.
Accompanied by the sound of the piano, the sedan chair slowly descended from the sky.
The sedan chair was followed by a group of guards wearing light armor and holding silver guns, each of whom was tall and mighty, and all of them looked like masters.
"The Lord of Flower City has arrived!" One of the guards shouted.
"All these bells and whistles!"
Changyue suddenly heard a whisper of complaining next to her, she looked back, and saw a girl in a cyan shirt looking at the sedan chair of the city lord of Hundred Flowers City speechlessly.
"Qi'er, don't talk nonsense." At this time, another slightly older girl next to her reminded in a low voice.
"Got it, senior sister, no one heard it!" The girl named Qi'er pouted indifferently.
Her senior sister shook her head helplessly and didn't say anything more.
After the sedan chair of the city lord of Hundred Flowers City landed, she did not come out of the sedan chair herself, but heard a girl carrying the sedan chair say loudly: "Please come and pay the entry fee, and the city lord will open the secret realm later." ”
I saw that the guards behind quickly cleared out a place, which was specially used to collect the ticket money for the warriors to enter the secret realm of the Night River.
Anyone who pays the money can receive a wooden plaque, which is not only a voucher for entering and exiting the secret realm of the Night River, but also a key for everyone to come out of the secret realm later.
Everyone lined up in an orderly manner to pay the money, not daring to have the slightest mess, Changyue really saw his cheap big brother in the crowd.
After most of the people paid the money, the city lord of Hundred Flowers City finally walked out of the sedan chair, her face was also covered with a face scarf, wearing a light green long skirt, she was tall, and she was swaying when she walked, which made people can't help but look sideways frequently.
Beauty! So beautiful! Many male warriors were dazzled and even gasped.
"Phew! These color embryos! The girl Qi'er scolded in a low voice, but reluctantly shut up under her senior sister's warning gaze.
The city lord of Hundred Flowers City is named Hua Linglong, a master of the Xiao Zhou Heavenly Realm, and it is said that he is already over sixty years old. But she seems to have a good look, Changyue looked at her appearance, and found that she was no different from a girl in her twenties, and even had an indescribable mature charm.
Hua Linglong still didn't say anything, she unhurriedly took out a jade token carved with a mysterious pattern from her sleeve, and after injecting true qi into the token, she saw that the token emitted a hazy brilliance and threw it into the void, and a vortex-shaped portal appeared immediately.
This is the entrance to the secret realm of the Night River.
"Remember, the opening time of the secret realm is ten days, and when the time comes, the secret realm will be automatically closed, and those who do not come out can only be trapped in it and wait for the next ten years. If you don't want to be locked inside, please use the token in your hand to come out in time, the method of use is very simple, just enter a trace of true qi into the token! ”
After Hua Linglong's maid briefly explained the rules for entering the secret realm, she instructed the guards to organize the warriors to enter the secret realm in batches, in groups of fifteen.
Changyue and the little monk lined up in the middle of the line, and it was about half an hour before it was their turn.
The moment they walked into the whirlpool portal, everyone disappeared in place.
Changyue appeared on a meadow after a dizziness had passed, and with her appeared the other fourteen people, including the little monk.
When different batches of people enter the secret realm, they will be randomly teleported to various places in the secret realm by the entrance of the secret realm, so there are no other martial artists on the grass except for the fifteen people of Changyue.
After the vertigo was completely gone, Long Moon immediately began to observe the surroundings, and they were teleported to the vicinity of a lake.
The area of the lake is not particularly large, but the water is crystal clear and rippling with the breeze, giving people a feeling of relaxation.
"What a beautiful lake!" At this time, a girl ran to the lake, bent down and put her hand into the lake, "Hiss~ It's so cool, it's so comfortable!" ”
But as soon as her words fell, a white light suddenly shot out from the lake, piercing the girl's head like a sharp arrow, and the girl didn't even have time to scream before she lost her breath and plunged into the lake.
Blood stained the lake red, and a group of unknown creatures scrambled to approach the girl's corpse, gnawing it into a bare skeleton in the blink of an eye.
"Xiaomei!"
The girl's companion cried out bitterly, but to no avail.
Everyone stared at the lake for a while before they realized that the girl was attacked by a small fish with an almost transparent body, because it could hide its whereabouts with the help of the lake water and light, and it was extremely fast, so it was not easy to be detected.
"Be careful, that fish can fly!" Suddenly, one of them exclaimed.
Sure enough, in the next second, those small fish burst out of the lake one after another and flew out towards Changyue and the others. If you look closely, you will notice that the fins of these fish are so wide that they can levitate them in the air like the wings of a bird.
Changyue hurriedly pulled out the ironwood knife and slashed it out, each knife could accurately hit the strange fish and split it in half.
Since Changyue's basic knife proficiency has reached perfection, she has found that every time she swings her knife, she will have a special feeling, just like the running track when you run is exactly downhill, and the water is just flowing downhill when swimming, in short, it is smooth in one word!
On top of that, she was even more powerful when she used the Bloodweeping Knife.
The first style of the weeping blood knife: dripping blood into a blade!
Changyue's blade turned into blood-colored blade light, killing all the small fish that were close to her and the little monk.
Strangely, not only does this small fish not smell fishy after being split, but their blood exudes a fresh scent of herbs.
"Ahh
There were so many transparent small fish, and their speed was extremely fast, and soon someone else was hit, and the screams were louder and louder.
"There are too many of these fish, let's evacuate quickly!"
At this time, someone proposed, and everyone agreed. So everyone fought and retreated, but fortunately, the fish did not chase after them, as long as they were away from the lake for a certain distance, they would automatically retreat back into the lake.
Of the original fifteen, only eleven remained.
"It's horrible, what's that?" Someone asked with trepidation.
"My guess is that those fish might be the legendary Twilight trout." A man dressed in colorful clothes said.
"Twilight trout? Is that the twilight trout with the blood of the alien beast three-ray shark? Hearing the words of the flowery boy, some people couldn't help but exclaim.
Changyue was also a little surprised, she had also seen a few words of the name of the Dawn Trout in the family library.
Legend has it that there is a strange beast born from the rare three-light divine water of heaven and earth, and ordinary people can get a wonderful god body by eating it, and it has been cultivated for thousands of miles in a day.
This magical beast is the three-light shark.
But the Sanguang Divine Water is already a legendary artifact, and it is unknown whether it exists in the world, let alone the Sanguang Shark.
The three-light shark only exists in legends, but the twilight trout has really appeared many times on the rivers and lakes, and it is a rare treasure.
Legend has it that there was a three-light shark that was seriously injured and near death, and was eaten by ordinary fish in the lake, so this fish had the effect of purifying the physique of warriors, and was named Twilight Trout.
No one knows whether the twilight trout evolved from the three-ray shark, but its effect of purifying the martial artist's physique is real.
"If that's really a twilight trout, wouldn't we be rich?" Someone said with a flushed face.
Sure enough, although you need to pay a high entrance fee to enter the secret realm, the opportunities inside can't be bought with money, so it's not a loss!
Another person poured cold water on him and said, "Do you have the life to catch it?" ”
Hearing this, the few people who had just been attracted to the blood by greed suddenly calmed down. Twilight trout are indeed good things, but they are also not easy to mess with, and in just a few moments, four of them died.
Although most of them retreated, there were masters among the remaining eleven people, such as the boy in a colorful green robe.
"In Xia Gongsun Long, I don't know what the girl is called?"
Just when the others were struggling with whether to stay and capture the twilight trout, the green boy walked up to Changyue and asked familiarly.
"White!" Changyue said coldly.
"I don't know if the girl is interested in joining forces with Zaixia, let's catch twilight trout together, and the harvest will be equally divided."
In the battle just now, Gongsun Long noticed that Changyue's movements were very clean and neat, and his sword skills were like gods, which was extraordinary, and while protecting the little monk, he was able to be unharmed.
Although he couldn't see through Changyue's cultivation, he was sure that he must be a master.
and the little monk who looked a little stupid, although he never made a move, but looking at his calm face from beginning to end, maybe he was an old guy pretending to be tender. (Little monk: Your whole family is old guys!) )
Changyue decisively refused: "No! "Gongsun Long doesn't feel very decent to her, so Changyue doesn't want to have anything to do with him.
"That's a pity......" Gongsun Long said with a look of regret.
The next eleven people separated, and some left to explore other places; Some of them obviously can't kill the twilight trout, but they are controlled by greed and stay behind to continue the adventure.
Changyue didn't leave, she and the little monk found a place where no one was, and asked the little monk to cover them with the Ten Thousand Buddha Golden Bowl.
The twilight trout couldn't break through the defense of the Ten Thousand Buddhas Golden Bowl, so the two began to fish unscrupulously.
The Ten Thousand Buddha Golden Bowl has a savings function, and all the little monks who caught the twilight trout were received and stored. Changyue plans to take a little more and bring it back to Mulberry Leaf and Granny Feng to taste, and the little monk also wants to get more for the abbot who loves him the most. (Wise Monk: Criminal, what about your master and me?) What about me? )
The monks of Fahua Temple are different according to the type of Buddhism they practice, not all members abstain from meat, and the appearance of the intelligent monk knows that there is no shortage of meat, so the little monk does not break the vow by eating meat.
There is no time flowing in the savings space of the Ten Thousand Buddha Golden Bowl, so the twilight trout stored in it will not deteriorate, and they can catch it as much as they want.
As long as they can resist the attack of the twilight trout, this fish is still very easy to catch, and it didn't take long for the two of them to catch a lot.
Seeing that they had caught enough fish, Changyue and the little monk planned to leave this area to take a look at other places, so they couldn't just fish here all the time!
Before leaving, they met Gongsun Long again, who also stayed nearby to catch fish, and looked like he should have a good harvest.
However, he didn't have storage items, so he couldn't take the extra Twilight trout with him, so he had to eat them on the spot. When the two of them saw him, he was tasting a few tout trouts.
This fish is so special that it can be eaten as is, does not need to be cooked, and is very, very tasty. In order not to expose the existence of the Ten Thousand Buddhas Golden Bowl, Changyue and the little monk also ate a lot of strips on the spot.
Not long after the fish meat was in her stomach, Changyue felt hot all over her body, and the true qi in the dantian became active, and every inch of muscle in her body seemed to be dancing.
After eating a whole fish, Changyue felt like she had run a marathon, but instead of running the exhaustion, she felt full of energy.
It's so refreshing!
The little monk on the side was flushed with food, and bursts of smoke evaporated from his body, as if he was driving the clouds.
"Female donor, this fish is so delicious!" The little monk squinted his eyes and said to Changyue.
"Eat more if it's delicious, it's more anyway!"
This twilight trout is worthy of its name, and it does have the effect of purifying the physique of a martial artist, and a few fish are in the stomach, and Changyue feels that his body has become extremely relaxed.
After the two finished eating, Gongsun Long was still eating there energetically, they didn't disturb each other, and left quietly.
During this period, in addition to that Gongsun Long, two of the other remaining warriors died, and two were disabled.
The two survivors were a little surprised when they saw Changyue and the little monk, and then saw the two of them holding the twilight trout in their hands, and their eyes revealed greed.
But the two knew very well that they couldn't afford to provoke anyone who could catch the twilight trout unscathed, so they could only watch Changyue and them leave.
What Changyue and the little monk didn't know was that after they left, Gongsun Long slaughtered the two surviving people directly, used their meat to attract twilight trout, and easily hunted a lot of tout to eat.
Because Changyue and the little monk had fished too much before, the twilight trout in the lake became extremely vigilant, and after that, the difficulty of Gongsun Long's fishing increased greatly, so he thought of using human flesh as bait.
After leaving the area where the lake was located, Changyue and the little monk casually found a direction and continued to explore.
This secret realm is indeed a good place, and it didn't take long for the two of them to find a lot of herbs that are rarely seen in the outside world.
In a blink of an eye, the sky slowly darkened, and the two found an abandoned cave to deal with it for one night, but they didn't expect that there were several white bones in the cave.
"It should be someone who entered the secret realm before and couldn't get out." Changyue guessed.
"Amitabha, female benefactor, let's bury them." Although the little monk never hesitated to kill the wicked, he was actually very kind-hearted.
"Okay."
So the two of them dug a pit together, intending to bury a few white bones.
"Huh? What is it? ”
When Changyue was carrying the white bones, something suddenly fell from one of them, and when she looked down, it was a gray stone mirror.
She bent down to pick up the stone mirror, but the moment her hand touched the stone mirror, an accident suddenly happened, and the stone mirror somehow cut her fingers.
The blood dripping on the stone mirror was instantly absorbed by the stone mirror.
In the next second, the stone mirror underwent a mutation, the gray stone appearance slowly receded, and the radiant brilliance slowly grew, and after a while, it changed from the original stone mirror to a white jade mirror.
At the same time, Changyue's mind suddenly had a stream of information.
The mirror of all things is a treasure that nourishes all things!
Strange treasure!
Changyue was overjoyed and hurriedly picked up the mirror of all things.
After revealing its true appearance, the mirror of all things is as warm as jade, and there are even bursts of warmth to the touch.
The front is a mirror, but it cannot be used to illuminate people, and the smooth mirror surface is hazy, as if it can attract people who look at it; The back is entangled with a variety of beautiful patterns, flowers, birds, fish, insects, birds and animals.
The main function of the mirror is to nourish all things, it comes with its own space, but this space is different from the simple storage space of the little monk's golden bowl of ten thousand Buddhas, it has a special effect, for example, if you put a fruit in, after a period of time, the fruit will not only not dry up, but will be nourished more fresh, more nutritious; Another example is if you put a piece of gold with a lot of impurities in it, and after a while, the purity of the gold will be greatly improved.
In addition, the Mirror of All Things is also the key to unlocking the secret realm in the secret realm of the Night River.
It turned out that the mirror of all things originally belonged to the master of the Night River Secret Realm, the Venerable Night River, and the Night River Venerable was a demon power, born from the Huangquan Demon Sect, the main sect of the Demon Dao, and the original sect of the Huangquan Demon Sect was located in Minzhou.
In the Great War of the Righteous Demons, the defeated Huangquan Demon Sect was driven out of the Thirteen Prefectures, and because they left in too haste, they could only seal their own secret realm, the Night River Secret Realm, and then hide it.
But then the seal was loosened, and the Night River Secret Realm was inadvertently discovered by the Chaoyun Sect.
But what Chaoyun Sect didn't know was that the Night River Secret Realm was divided into two layers, and the surface layer could be entered as long as there was a general ban-breaking card (the one used by Hua Linglong to open the secret realm), but the inner layer could only be opened by the Night River Venerable's Ten Thousand Things Mirror.
It's a pity that the artifact is obscure, since the fall of the Venerable Night River, the mirror of all things has turned into an ordinary stone mirror, and he has never recognized the second master, and others can't help it at all.
The descendants of the Yellow River Venerable used to exist, and the descendants of the Night River Venerable, who had declined many years ago, were bullied by other members of the sect, and in a fit of anger, he left the Yellow Spring Demon Sect with the mirror of all things, and returned to the Thirteen States.
More than ten years ago, that person came to Minzhou with the Mirror of Everything, and took advantage of the opening of the secret realm of the Night River to blend in, trying to use the mirror of all things to open the inner layer of the secret realm.
But the mirror of all things does not recognize the owner, and there is no way to use it as a key at all.
Later, that person was discovered by the righteous path martial artist in the secret realm, and was hunted down and killed by everyone, and finally died in the secret realm.
The mirror of all things looked too much like an ordinary stone, so it was not taken away.
After getting all the information related to it from the Mirror of Everything, Changyue sighed.
It's really a good person with a good reward, if it weren't for the little monk's proposal to bury these white bones, she wouldn't have found the mirror of all things, let alone get its recognition.
The rules for recognizing the lord of the treasure are difficult to explain, so Changyue can't figure out why the mirror of all things will take the initiative to recognize her as the master.
So I really have a bit of a protagonist aura on me, right? Changyue teased herself in her heart.
The little monk stared at the mirror of all things in Changyue's hand with wide eyes and said, "Female donor, what is this?" How beautiful it has become? ”
Changyue replied with a smile: "It is a foreign treasure like your Ten Thousand Buddha Golden Bowl, called the Mirror of All Things. ”
After hearing this, the little monk cheered: "Great, the female benefactor has the same treasure as me!" ”
Changyue shook her head helplessly when she heard this, the little monk was too simple, if others knew that this was a rare treasure in the world, they would have been greedy a long time ago, how could they think that he would be happy for himself like this.
"It's a baby, don't reveal it." Changyue gently touched the little monk's head and said.
The little monk nodded obediently: "Don't worry, don't worry, the little monk understands." ”
Changyue's mind moved, and the palm-sized mirror of all things suddenly slowly shrank, and then turned into a jade pendant the size of a copper plate.
It's not easy to be spotted!
But since the Mirror of All Things already recognizes me as the master, will I be able to open the inner layer of the Night River Secret Realm? Changyue said in her heart, I don't know what the situation is in the inner layer of the Night River Secret Realm.
But the treasure hunt will be talked about tomorrow, so let's have a good rest tonight!
After burying the white bones, Changyue and the little monk ate a few twilight trout for dinner, and once again enjoyed an ultimate delicacy.
Because Changyue also had space to store things, the little monk took this opportunity to give half of the money in his Ten Thousand Buddhas Golden Bowl and the Dawn Trout to Changyue for safekeeping.
Eggs cannot be placed in the same basket.
The two of them didn't sleep at night, and they each meditated and practiced all night.
