Chapter 117: Separation
Qingchen Daoist asked Zhou Xingyu what he knew about Niujiao Mountain in Qingtan City, and in exchange, he also told Zhou Xingyu some information he already had.
It turned out that the man Zhou Xingyu saw in Niujiao Mountain before was a ghost from the netherworld, called Rakshasa, and his strength was equivalent to the Jindan realm among monks, but because he had been sealed for too long, his ability was weakened a lot.
This time, Qin Tianjian was able to seal it again for this reason, if it was the Rakshasa in its heyday, it was not something they could deal with at all.
As for the heaven and earth they had been to before, it was a small plane formed by the breath of the Netherworld penetrating into the human world, usually called the Yin and Yang Realm, there were many such small worlds, the small ones were as big as a room, and the big ones were almost as wide as the entire Mirror Country.
At present, the largest Yin and Yang Realm is inhabited by a powerful ghost named Yin Yang Dharma King, and his strength is also considered a strong one among Yuan Ying.
The Bailu Palace, where the Dragon Sect is located, once dispatched the Yuan Infant Ancestor to kill the Yin Yang Dharma King, but unfortunately failed in the end, so the Ancestor has been in retreat on the mountain until now, and he still has not recovered.
Zhou Xingyu also asked the old man Qin Tianjian if he had anything to do with the cultivation realm, after all, he had seen Jiazi and them use talismans, and he had also opened an altar to find ghosts.
In the end, the answer was that Qin Tianjian was a special institution that belonged exclusively to the royal family of the Mirror Kingdom, because the relationship between the Bailu Palace and the royal family of the Mirror Kingdom was quite good, and every year the Qin Tianjian would send a group of members to ask the Bailu Palace to help train.
Of course, in exchange, the royal family of the Mirror Kingdom must provide some of the resources needed by the Bailu Palace, after all, cultivators can't do Bigu when they haven't reached a certain level, and the cultivators at the bottom are no different from ordinary people in the rivers and lakes.
In addition to material supplies, the White Dew Palace can also select immortal materials that can be cultivated within the scope of the Mirror Country.
In addition to the above, when the mirror country encounters an anecdote that is difficult to solve, it can ask the White Dew Palace to solve it.
The array disk that Qin Tianjian used to seal the Rakshasa before came from the White Dew Palace.
The reason why he came to Xuanzhou this time was also because the Bailu Palace had been invited by the royal family of the Mirror Kingdom, and wanted them to confirm how long that seal would last.
After talking with Qingchen Daoist for a long time, Zhou Xingyu felt that he had gained a lot, thinking that he would have to deal with Bailu Palace and the royal family of the Mirror Kingdom in the future, Zhou Xingyu took out an object from his arms and said: "Dao Chief, this farewell, I don't know when I will be able to see you again, this is an invitation token from Tianxing Auction House, and the holder can use this to participate in the auction held in Yunshan City once a month, before I gave Daoist Huang Longdan and several other pills will be auctioned at Tianxing Auction House, In the future, if the Taoist still needs Huang Longdan, he may wish to go to the Tianxing Auction House. ”
Qingchen Daoist hurriedly took the token handed over by Zhou Xingyu, and thanked him: "Thank you Zhou Daoyou, this thing is exactly what I need." ”
For these disciples of the sect with limited qualifications, there are very few cultivation resources that can be obtained from the sect, and sometimes they have to risk their lives again and again to complete the tasks assigned by the sect for the sake of a pill, and now there is more Tianxing Auction House as a channel, which undoubtedly saves him a lot of trouble.
Outside the gate of the dilapidated mountain temple, Wang Ye, Zhou Xingyu, and Li Mubai stood in a row, and on the opposite side were the Qingchen Daoist and the little Taoist priest.
Qingchen Dao Chang asked softly to Li Mubai: "Li Gongzi, there are still some things for you to talk about in the poor road, can you move?" ”
Li Mubai glanced at Wang Ye and Zhou Xingyu, and seeing that the two nodded, he said respectfully to the Qingchen Daoist: "Daoist, please!" ”
The two of them walked towards the side of the cliff, and they came back not long after, I don't know what Qingchen Daoist and Li Mubai said, Wang Ye and Zhou Xingyu can see that Li Mubai after coming back has changed significantly from before.
Li Mubai before was like a heavy burden on his shoulders, although he pretended to be calm, he was actually tense all the time. Now he seems to have taken off the burden on his body, and the whole person is much more relaxed.
"Three donors, the green mountains do not change, the green water flows forever, if there is a fate, we will meet again in Yunshan City." The Dust Clearing Daoist said goodbye to the three of them.
The little Taoist priest on the side hurriedly bowed respectfully to a few people, and said in a tender voice: "May Dao Ancestor bless several donors to the end of the destination." ”
After saying goodbye to each other, Daoist Qingchen turned around and walked into the distance, followed by the little Taoist priest, behind him was a small cotton cloth package, which contained the dry food that Li Mubai gave them for use on the road.
Knowing that the figures of the two disappeared on the hillside, Wang Ye and the others turned over and got on their horses and continued to set off in the direction of Jinyang City.
……
"See? Over there. A stout man, dressed in a thick dark coat, said to the young boy who was crawling in the yellow grass beside him.
His skin was a healthy bronz, his lips were chapped and peeled from dehydration, and his deep eyes stared at the wild deer that was grazing on the lawn not far away.
"Elk in the wild have an excellent sense of sight and smell, and if they spot predators lurking nearby, they will choose to flee as soon as possible. So when hunting them, we should try to choose the downwind and behind the elk, so that we can get close to them quietly. The stout man whispered in the child's ear, and at the same time quietly picked up the bow and arrow that he had in his hand, and took out an arrow with a sharp arrow from the quiver behind his back.
"Bow and arrow is the best choice to deal with this kind of sensitive prey, when shooting with a bow, you must pay attention to the stability of the body, breathing and aiming, a good hunter even has to consider the light and wind direction and wind speed. There is no turning back from the bow, and the opportunity is fleeting, so be sure to hit it with one hit. ”
He clenched the grip of the bow in his left hand, twisted the arrow feather in his right hand, and his eyes were fixed on the elk in the distance, looking for the perfect moment to kill the opponent with a single blow.
The elk leisurely stretched out its tongue, swept the grass on the ground, and walked leisurely across the field, seeing that the grass in one place had been eaten clean, it turned slightly sideways, intending to nibble on the grass in another.
"It's now!" The strong man stood up suddenly, his body was like a mountain, his muscles and bones were open, and the heavy hardwood bow in his hand was directly pulled into an exaggerated arc by him.
At this time, the elk did not notice the danger on the back of its body at all, and was still leisurely gnawing on the grass, its body facing the strong man, with its head bowed, extremely comfortable.
The right hand was released, and the hardwood bowstring was unrestrained, and like a wild horse on the loose, it pounced straight towards the elk, castrating quickly and faster than the average human eye could reach.
Sou!
Almost instantly, the long arrow pierced into the elk's body, hitting it in the heart, and the elk's body was instantly pushed to the ground by the tremendous force of the arrow.
It only had time to scream before the corpse lost the strength to resist.
"Shot! Shot! Abba, you shot! The boy found the elk still gasping for breath in the distance, stood up and shouted happily.
He held a toy carpenter in one hand, picked up a branch on the ground, and swished out as a stout man who had just drawn his bow.
The man didn't say anything, he stretched out his calloused palm and touched the child's head, and then took the child's hand and walked to where the elk was.
When they approached and looked at the elk lying on the ground, struggling to breathe, with its belly rising and falling slightly, the smile on the child's face was gone, and he turned to the strong man and said, "Father, it looks so painful, or shall we let it go?" ”
Hearing the child's words, the man shook his head and walked up to the elk, he lowered his body and took the arrow out of the elk's body, and it didn't take long for the elk to completely lose its breath of life.
He stretched out his palm and touched its eye sockets, then turned to the child and said, "Hu'er, remember what my father said next." ”
Looking at the solemn eyes of the strong man looking at him, the immature child instantly stood up and made a listening gesture.
"Whoever hunts must be hunted for survival!"
After saying this sentence seriously, the strong man's face changed, and he instantly showed a big smile, and said to the child: "Let's go, let your grandma make you roast deer steak for you when you go back tonight." ”
The child's emotions came and went quickly, and when he heard that there was a roast deer steak to eat, he instantly happily circled around the strong man.
The man smiled, lowered his body and picked up the elk from the ground, adjusted a comfortable position, and said to the child, "Let's go!" Your grandma must be in a hurry! ”
……
"Young master, according to the map, there is Hongyao Town in front of you, it is the only town within a radius of 100 miles, should we go inside to replenish the food and the items used in the hurry?" Shopkeeper Wang stood respectfully in front of Li Mubai.
After a small half-month journey, the group finally came to the edge of Heimeng Mountain, and then walked forward, it would not be long before they could get out of this mountain, and then the journey to Jinyang City would be a smooth road.
I have to say that there is an old man in the family, because of the existence of the old shopkeeper Wang, Zhou Xingyu and they have almost nothing to do along the way except for occasionally appearing to solve some mountain bandits who have no eyesight, they don't have to worry about it, anyway, everything will be arranged properly by the old shopkeeper Wang.
Li Mubai looked at the sky, the sun was already setting in the west, and the surrounding mountains were all pitch black, he just thought for a moment and then nodded and said: "Well, Uncle Wang will follow the arrangement you said, it's late today, we will repair in Hongyao Town for one night, replenish the supplies, and set off tomorrow." ”
After finishing speaking, Li Mubai retracted into the carriage from the beginning.
With Li Mubai's permission, the shopkeeper Wang began to arrange.
A group of carriages drove into Hongyao Town, attracting onlookers along the way.
"Who are these people? How many carriages were dispatched at one time? Could it be that which big man can't do it? A man with his hands around looked at the carriage slowly passing in front of him, and asked curiously to his companion.
"It's really a big man, do you see those words on the carriage window, these should be the caravan of the Li family in Qingtan City, I have been to Qingtan City once before, and this sign is exactly the same as the logo of the Li family's caravan." A well-informed companion beside him replied in a low voice.
"The Li family? That Li Bancheng in Qingtan City? Are they also interested in something like that in the mountains? ”
