Chapter 214: Undercurrent
At night, near the blue wave of the island of Larue.
As its name suggests, the water is as green as jade.
The calm water reflects the surrounding scenery, like a natural ink painting.
I just helped Zhang Ling, another young female monk in the team, finish picking up the yam.
It was getting late.
The crowd decided not to go any further.
Just stop for a night in a place where there is a water source.
At this moment, everyone is sitting under the shade of the tree, eating dry food.
Although Chen Yun and his party are all powerful monks, they have not come true in the end, and they are still mortal in the flesh, so they naturally need to consume food.
Even the three high-ranking mages Wu Kejiu, Kang Yuan, and Qin Ming were like this.
Only Chen Yun leaned against the trunk of the tree, just holding the kettle and drinking two sips of water.
He cultivated the Flying Spirit Jade Talisman, which could absorb the energy to sustain himself from the outside world, and he basically didn't need to eat except for occasionally replenishing some water.
However, some people misunderstood, and thought that Chen Yun came to Sun Moon Lake Cave for the first time, and he didn't know the situation, so he didn't prepare food.
Zhang Ling, a twenty-three or four-year-old female monk in a green dress, leaned over to Chen Yun's side and stretched out her hand to hand over a pill, "Here." ”
And all the people looked sideways.
Chen Yunyi raised his eyelids and blinked, "What is this?" ”
Zhang Ling squatted down and said with a smile: "This is a satiety pill, eating it can ensure that you will not be hungry for three days, I look at Mr. Chen, you have not eaten since you came here yesterday, I am afraid that you are hungry and have no strength in your stomach, and it is not convenient for the next trip." ”
In the Sun Moon Lake Cave, food is a very precious thing.
Everyone has to stay in Sun Moon Lake Cave for a year.
Plus, not everyone can get out of the valley.
If you don't prepare enough food, although you can find something to eat in the Sun Moon Lake Cave and won't starve to death, it will be very troublesome to do and will waste a lot of treasure hunting time.
Therefore, people who come here usually prepare their food in advance and rarely share it with others.
This can be seen from the fact that Chen Yun was waiting outside for the Sun Moon Lake Cave to open yesterday, and only Qin Ming brought him food.
So why did Zhang Ling take the initiative to give food to Chen Yun today?
After all, everyone saw Chen Yun's strength today.
knew that he could provoke the beam of the entire team together with Wu Kejiu, Kang Yuan, and Qin Ming.
The next thing to search for is probably to rely on his strength.
Naturally, everyone's attitude towards Chen Yun became affectionate.
Chen Yun understands these truths.
However, he didn't take the satiety pill, and waved his hand casually: "Thank you for your kindness, I am in Bigu, and I usually don't eat grains, just drink some water occasionally." ”
"Huh?"
"Mr. Chen actually knows such a magic skill as Bigu?"
"Nonsense, Mr. Chen's Xuanmen is authentic, how can he not be Bigu?"
"I really envy the authenticity of the Xuanmen, if we want to open the valley, we have to cultivate to the realm of real people."
A group of people showed envy.
Bigu is an untold secret.
Don't talk about these foreign monks.
Even if there are some Xuanmen authentic sects, there may not be a Bigu method.
Bigu sounds like he doesn't eat food.
In reality, this is not the case.
Bigu also has a name called "food gas".
This method originally originated from the secret method of the Fang Immortal Family.
Later, it was gradually absorbed by the major factions.
How powerful is "food gas"?
Huainanzi. There is a saying in the "Topographic Training": Those who eat gas are gods and live long.
If the method of cultivating qi can live with the gods in the advanced realm, you can imagine how clever it is.
Because of this, these outsiders heard that Chen Yun would open the valley method, and they showed envy one by one.
After a while, the group finished eating.
Under normal circumstances, everyone should have a good night's rest so that they have the strength to deal with all kinds of dangers that may be encountered.
It's just that not everyone can rest.
Who knows if everyone is asleep, will there be some spirit beasts or monks coming to sneak attack?
Wu Kejiu, as the initiator of the team, has always been the core.
He looked at the people seated, "Fellow Daoists, let's discuss who will keep vigil first, and then change to the others at what time." ”
"Okay."
"Mr. Wu will arrange it, I'll listen."
A crowd sparsely responded.
Who knew that Ding Xu suddenly said: "Why don't you let Mr. Chen keep vigil first, and he can have a good rest in the second half of the night?" ”
Qin Ming agreed: "Mr. Chen has made a lot of efforts today, and it is worth keeping the first half of the night." ”
"Yes, Mr. Chen worked hard."
"Let him keep watch for the first half of the night."
Gao Chen, Zhang Ling and others all agreed.
If you have a vigil, it is better to keep it in the middle of the night.
After all, you can sleep until the middle of the night.
If you keep it in the middle of the night, you will be called up in the middle of the night.
Then wait until tomorrow night to rest again.
So keeping the second half of the night is a chore.
Originally, Chen Yun made such a big effort today, and there was nothing wrong with keeping the front half of the night.
Even the heart of Wu Kejiu, the core of the team, is ready to arrange it like this.
It's just that there's something wrong with the words coming out of other people's mouths.
Wu Kejiu always felt that everyone's "heart" was faintly biased towards Chen Yun.
If this development continues, perhaps the core will have to be replaced.
Suddenly, Wu Kejiu was secretly dissatisfied with everyone's attitude.
Of course, dissatisfaction is dissatisfaction.
These words are certainly impossible to say.
Otherwise, it will be regarded as narrow-minded.
Wu Kejiu said quietly: "Indeed, Mr. Chen had a big battle with others today, it was very hard, I originally wanted to arrange for him to keep the first half of the night, since everyone proposed it, then make sure that there is Mr. Chen in the first half of the night, and then we will determine the others." ”
He said that it didn't seem like much.
In fact, it is an oath of "sovereignty".
Tell everyone that he, Wu Kejiu, is the core.
Chen Yun didn't think about it that way.
He wasn't interested in fighting for power, so he just smiled and nodded, "Okay, thank you for leaving me the beautiful cha." ”
Qin Ming frowned slightly and glanced at Wu Kejiu.
The last time he, Kang Yuan and Wu Kejiu came to Sun Moon Lake Cave, something similar happened.
It's just that Wu Kejiu does have the means, and in the end he and Kang Yuan are willing to succumb to Wu Kejiu.
Now that he saw that Wu Kejiu seemed to be doing this for Chen Yun, he couldn't help but feel a little dissatisfied in his heart.
I saw Qin Ming say intentionally or unintentionally, "Mr. Chen has made such a great effort to win the hearts of the people today, and everyone recommended him to keep watch in the middle of the night, also out of respect." ”
"yes." Ding Xu nodded and said, "I think so too." ”
"Yes."
"We also elected Mr. Chen to keep the first half of the night out of respect."
Zhang Ling, Gao Chen and other seven or eight monks echoed one after another.
At this moment, Wu Kejiu felt that the "majesty of the boss" was provoked, and his fists hidden in his sleeves were secretly clenched, as if he was a little annoyed by Qin Ming's words, but he didn't show it, he just said with a smile: "Qin Daoyou's words are reasonable, okay, let's continue to arrange for others to keep vigil, in this way, Qin Daoyou and I will take the initiative to keep watch for the second half of the night, and Mr. Chen and Kang Daoyou will lead a team of people to keep the first half of the night......"
He didn't give Qin Ming a chance to speak, and arranged the list in one go.
Except for Chen Yun, all the people who echoed Qin Ming's words just now were arranged by him to go to the second half of the night.
Obviously, Wu Kejiu was responding to Qin Ming in this way, and at this time, he was still a non-existent in the team.
Qin Ming wanted to put forward some opinions, but Wu Kejiu took the initiative to say that it was the middle of the night, and he would lead by example, who could find the slightest fault?
In the end, it was settled.
Chen Yun and Kang Yuan, Dragon Girl Sanjiu, Xu Yang and others kept watch in the middle of the night.
Wu Kejiu, Qin Ming, Gao Chen, Ding Xu and others stayed in the middle of the night.
Immediately, the people who kept watch in the middle of the night went to sleep first.
Chen Yun and Kang Yuan, as the two of the "four major talkers", each led a dozen people to patrol the situation around the camp.
When it was almost mid-hour, they changed shifts with Wu Kejiu, Qin Ming and others.
The night was silent and seemed calm.
In fact, the whole team is faintly divided into two factions.
One faction is headed by Chen Yun and has a small number of people.
The other faction is still headed by Wu Kejiu.
The two sides are secretly fighting each other.
Of course, Chen Yun didn't compete with anyone from beginning to end.
It's just that Qin Ming is taking matters into his own hands to compete with Wu Kejiu for him.
……
The next day, the sun rose in the east.
Wu Kejiu, Qin Ming and the others woke up Kang Yuan, Dragon Girl Sanjiu and others who were asleep.
Chen Yun has been practicing in the middle of the night, so he didn't need Wu Kejiu and others to call.
Everyone washed up in the blue water pool.
Immediately, Wu Kejiu called everyone together and began to arrange today's itinerary, "Today we have three main goals, the first is to help Mr. Chen get the Xuanbai gourd vine, which is easier to obtain, and basically does not need to make any effort, and second, go to the Extreme Cold Cave to help Kang Daoyou get Xuexiong, there are powerful spirit beasts over there, maybe everyone will have to make a lot of efforts then, oh, by the way, I remember the last time I came in, I seemed to have seen a vermilion fruit tree over there, but the number is not very much, I don't know if it is ripe, if it is ripe, Maybe we can help Mr. Chen complete the task of collecting Zhu Guo together, and finally, we have to rush to the Flame Peak to help Xuyang Daoist get the Wind and Fire Lingzhi, there may also be spirit beasts guarding over there, and we need to make some efforts, do you have any opinions? If not, we'll go. ”
"Nope."
"Let's go now."
Xu Yang, Zhang Ling and others responded.
After receiving an affirmative answer, Wu Kejiu took the lead in standing up and flying in the direction of the west.
Chen Yun, Qin Ming and others followed.
While flying against the wind, he secretly pondered what Wu Kejiu had just said.
Is it very likely that there is a ripe vermilion fruit on the other side of the Extreme Cold Cave?
He had gone back to Zhongnan Mountain before and had taken twelve copies of all the other medicinal materials he needed.
plus the remaining nine ears of rain and dew from before, as well as wishing the remaining grass.
There are actually not many types of heaven and earth spiritual roots that he lacks.
It is nothing more than the main medicine of ten vermilion fruits, Xuanbai gourd vine, Xuanshui and xenokind atractylodes.
If you go to the Extreme Cold Cave later, you can really get ten vermilion fruits.
In addition, there is a high probability that you can get the Xuanbai gourd vine today.
Then collect the Xuanshui and Xenomorph Atractylodes, and boil the Heaven and Earth Spirit Roots needed to refine the Qi Soup.
Chen Yunxin said that if it weren't for Merlin's Demon Master who had made trouble before, maybe his speed of collecting medicinal materials would have become faster.
He was pondering the collection of heaven and earth spirit roots, but he didn't notice at all that Wu Ke, who was flying in front of him, turned his head to look at him without a trace.
Wu Kejiu's eyes were full of determination.
He thought that he must show off his means today.
Let everyone know that he is the real core of the whole team.
Instead of Chen Yun, who was so powerful yesterday.
It is precisely because of this kind of thought.
Wu Ke thought about it for a long time.
No matter how powerful the spirit beast is today.
He must be the first to do it before Chen Yun.
Fortunately, Chen Yun didn't know what the other party was thinking, otherwise he would definitely laugh dumbly.
He is bent on seeking immortality, how can he have any thoughts about the "core" of the small team?
