Chapter 13: The City
Cultivation is like this, it is impossible to have smooth sailing all the time, there will always be all kinds of problems, especially all the cultivation is Ye Qin's exploration, and he is not born to know it.
No one is perfect, and even saints make mistakes and get confused.
Fortunately, Ye Qin's mentality is very good, and he didn't worry about it, maybe he was just short of timing.
Reaching this point now, it has far exceeded Ye Qin's expectations, originally this life was picked up, even if his cultivation stopped here in the future, it would be earned for him.
Thinking of this, Ye Qin suddenly brightened.
He took a look outside the cave, and after a night of torrential rain, there were puddles of water all around.
The low-lying areas have been submerged, and many voles and small animals can be seen looking for new homes on the ground.
The location of the cave is good, and there is no stagnant water, so Ye Qin doesn't have to worry about being flooded, otherwise, I'm afraid he will have to find a new place.
I don't know if I'm used to being here, if I let Ye Qin change places again, maybe he really won't be used to it.
And where to find such a secluded and spacious cave?
The most important thing is that he cultivated enlightenment in the cave and picked up a small life, which is equivalent to regaining a new life here, so Ye Qin didn't want to leave until he had to.
After the cave is his lair, his base camp.
Although it is now a snake, there are still some human habits, such as not wanting to get wet on rainy days.
Ye Qin didn't bother to go out, so he hid in the cave to cultivate, hoping to break through the bottleneck and find the next direction of cultivation.
After several days of heavy rain, the day finally cleared.
Seeing that the sky revealed the long-lost sunshine, dispelling the haze and dark clouds that had been in place for several days, Ye Qin also planned to go out for a walk and hunt food by the way.
Probably because of his cultivation, his appetite has become greater, and he needs to eat more energy and nutrients.
When I climbed out of the cave, I could smell the fishy smell of the dirt after the heavy rain, as well as the fragrance of green leaves.
"Huh."
As if he had discovered something, Ye Qin looked at the reflective object not far away, and quickly crawled over.
It was a small puddle, or more precisely, a footprint, with a shallow layer of stagnant water in it.
Because of the heavy rain for several days, the soil becomes very soft, and people or other large animals pass by, leaving marks.
"Could it be that there are humans passing by around here?"
Looking at the traces of these footprints, it should have only been formed for a long time.
Ye Qin's heart moved, he has no positioning now, and he doesn't have a navigation system, it is very difficult to get out of this deep mountain and old forest, but if someone guides him, it will be different.
"Maybe I can follow him and find my way out of the mountain."
Ye Qin had just crossed over, it could be said that his eyes were black, and he didn't even know where he was, so he could take advantage of this opportunity to figure out his current location.
And he had planned to go into the city once to learn some knowledge.
The snake letter shook back and forth in the air, and the last smell of the traces disappeared was in the southeast direction, Ye Qin immediately chased after it, and sure enough, he saw footprints again.
Ye Qin followed the footprints all the way, and most of the day passed, the vegetation around him became more and more scarce, and his vision became more and more open, and an asphalt asphalt avenue not far away came into view.
Occasionally, a few cars drove by quickly, and Ye Qin felt that the ground where he was was shaking violently.
"Tuk-tuk-"
Hearing the long-lost car horn, he felt like a world away.
The vehicle that he was familiar with in his previous life, in Ye Qin's eyes at this moment, was like a huge steel monster, and he could easily crush his current body into a snake.
Ye Qin was a little embarrassed, and quickly retracted his gaze, as long as he kept moving along this main road, he should be able to enter the city.
The traffic blue sign not far away let Ye Qin know where he was.
This is the junction of Wudu and Tianfu Province, surrounded by many mountains, green mountains and mountains, among which there are even strange peaks and steep peaks, countless creatures grow here.
The rich and fertile land provides them with nutrients, which leads to biodiversity and a good ecological environment.
On winding roads like this, there are occasional wildlife spots.
Ye Qin walked along the main road, and when he was tired, he found a relatively hidden place, cultivated and visualized to restore his essence and spirit, and then continued to move forward.
It wasn't until the next morning, when the sky was slightly white, that he finally arrived at his destination.
The fog capital is surrounded by mountains on all sides, the river is circulating, there are Bashan stretching in the city, the Chongqing water is vertical and horizontal, and the surrounding high-rise buildings, forming a unique scenery.
At this moment, it is just dawn, and there is still a lot of water vapor in the morning, which has not completely evaporated, and there is a thin veil hanging over the whole city, which adds a bit of hazy beauty.
Hence the name "Fog Capital".
Although it was still early, the city had already woken up, and the street vendors shouted loudly, and between the steaming heat, a handful of white noodles were sprinkled into the soup and water, starting a busy day for ordinary people.
The city is like a steel forest, the streets are lined up, the roads that are crisscrossed like a chessboard, and the workers who are rushing for life, everything is so familiar and strange in Ye Qin's eyes.
Because once upon a time, he was one of these people.
And what used to be in equal proportions was suddenly magnified several times, which could be dangerous for Ye Qin's current small body.
Not to mention a car, even a bicycle, or even a kick from a passer-by can injure him.
Fortunately, his previous experience in the wild had made him accustomed to this kind of giant perspective, and the only thing he was not used to was that the mountain was open, except for some plants, there were no obstacles.
But here it is different, all kinds of buildings, and dense crowds, all crammed into one city, it seems a little crowded.
Ye Qin didn't want to expose his body, so as not to be killed by others, after all, he had just started cultivating now, and he was far from having magical spells, so he could only use the surrounding green belt or pipelines to advance.
Although snakes are not like street rats, everyone shouts and fights, but in the eyes of modern people, they are not welcome, and there are still more fears.
The wind blew from nowhere, and a piece of paper floated over, and it was a topographic map of the city.
"It's fate......"
Ye Qin was speechless for a moment, wondering if there was really such a thing as fate.
He was worried that he couldn't find his way, and planned to walk around the city, but when the rain arrived, he looked at the map in front of him and studied it carefully, and finally his eyes fell on the location of the "Fog Capital Library".
These days, he has been confused about cultivation, but he can't solve it, and there are many books in the library, maybe he can find the answer, and even if he can't find it, at least he can answer some of the confusion.
While it may be more convenient to surf the Internet, you can't expect a snake to turn on its computer, tap on a keyboard, and if you run into it, you might be caught as a monster.
So if you think about it, it's more useful to go to a place like the library.
Ye Qin looked at the map so engrossed that he didn't notice the movement not far away.
