Chapter 15 A Little Girl Who Can Weave Grasshoppers
With a decision in his heart, Meng Zhou immediately walked out of the cliff cave and entered the mountain forest on the right.
Walking to a hidden place, Meng Zhou looked left and right, dug a hole in the ground with a long sword, threw a package into it, and then filled in the soil, the height and fluctuation were the same as before, and even the turf on the ground was restored to its original state.
In order to avoid the embarrassing situation that he couldn't find himself, he made some signs in other places that only he could understand.
After dealing with all this, Meng Zhou set off again.
The things wrapped in the pit are the first-order high-grade magic robe and the first-order high-grade flying sword obtained from Mo Shao.
The reason why he did this was because he had heard that the magic weapons of the children of the big family had some hidden back doors that were difficult to detect, or special aura, and he was worried that he would bring these two magic weapons into the Jade Lake and bring disaster to himself.
Now, in addition to the spirit stones he carried with him, he also had a long sword, eighteen crescent-shaped blades, and dozens of taels of gold, all of which were trophies provided by the two loose cultivators who broke into the small courtyard that day and night.
……
Five days later, in the evening.
The breeze is not strong, and a lake is like a mirror.
A long figure treads the water, and every time he takes a step, he taps on the surface of the water with his toes, breaking through the clarity of the lake, rippling at the starting point, and the figure has flown away.
Meng Zhou suddenly stood on his feet and looked at a piece of land that suddenly rose in the distant waters, "It should be here." ”
The most elite area of the 800-mile Jade Lake is the Jade Island located in the central area, where several forces that dominate the pattern of the Jade Lake, including the Mo family, are rooted here.
In addition, there are hundreds of islands of all sizes, including Hakutsuki Bay, which resembles the crescent moon on the seventh or eighth night of the first lunar month.
However, this has to be seen from a high altitude, Meng Zhou is standing on the surface of the lake at the moment, but he doesn't know what shape the land in front of him is.
When he found this place, he also made a big detour and asked all the way, otherwise, with his footsteps, he would not have come here in five days.
As we approached, we gradually saw a white line between the water and the land, spreading out in the field of vision like a ribbon.
It was a sandy beach formed by delicate white sand, and seeing this scene, Meng Zhou's spirit was shocked.
"This should be Moon Bay Beach, right?"
According to the news he inquired about along the way, Moon Bay Beach is a scene of White Moon Bay.
Meng Zhou's right toe was a little on the surface of the water, and his body had jumped lightly, and the next moment, he landed on the white sand.
Meng Zhou closed his eyes for a moment, and when he opened his eyes again, there was a lot of surprise in his expression, like a traveler who had trekked in the desert for too long finally saw an oasis.
Nimbus.
Since leaving the small courtyard retreat, he finally felt a strong aura again.
Looking at the sky, Meng Zhou didn't dare to delay any longer, and strode forward.
Just as I was about to step out of the beach, I saw a rock less than two meters high but several miles long.
Surrounded by muddy and sandy soil, the rock rises abruptly, like a screen illuminating the wall.
Seeing that there was a path formed by people walking often in front of this rock, in order to find the people on the island as soon as possible, Meng Zhou walked along the path.
Along the way, Meng Zhou found that this rock did not have any cracks and stratification, but a complete piece.
He couldn't help but think of an interesting anecdote he had seen in his previous life, the shortest mountain in the world was only less than one meter, and when he looked at it roughly, he thought it was the product of a series of scratching his ears and cheeks by the editor of the shock department.
After a careful understanding, I realized that I had misunderstood, and I also understood the difference between mountains and stones.
Mountains have roots, but stones have no roots.
The above-ground part is less than one meter, but the underground part is likely to be thousands of meters deep, stretching more widely, firmly rooted in the earth.
"Isn't this also a low mountain?" Meng Zhou guessed in his heart.
On this rock wall less than two meters high, Meng Zhou also saw a lot of graffiti, the level was high and low, some were realistic, some were impressionist, and more lyrical, perhaps no one could understand what it was depicting except for the graffiti himself.
Moreover, the new graffiti overcomes the old graffiti, and the older graffiti becomes darker and mottled in color, gradually blending in with the rock wall itself.
Along the way, there was hardly a rock wall that was clean and free of any traces of human beings, and from time to time I saw some notches that were more resistant to erosion by time.
This rock wall has been played by the locals into a special message wall, Meng walked around and looked at it, and guessed wildly in his heart, which was quite interesting.
Suddenly, Meng Zhou's gaze moved away from the rock wall, and his walking footsteps stopped.
On the sand beside the path ahead, sat a slender little girl with yellow hair and a slender body, her head bowed and focused on her own world.
A long rope of grass, under her slender and dexterous ten fingers, slowly turned into a lifelike and vivid blue-green grasshopper.
If it weren't for the fact that this straw grasshopper was completed under Meng Zhou's own eyes, if it was placed on a blade of grass, Meng Zhou would not suspect that it was a fake, and even thought that the next moment it would flap its wings and disappear.
This unexpected show scene, Meng Zhou was completely fascinated.
The little girl braided the straw rope grasshopper, and her attention returned to reality from the work in her hand, and she looked up and saw Meng Zhou, who was looking at the straw grasshopper in her hand without blinking, with a look of surprise and curiosity.
Although she didn't speak, her bright eyes seemed to ask, "Uncle, who are you?" Why are you looking at me like that? ”
Meng Zhou coughed awkwardly and asked, "Little friend, is this Baiyue Bay?" ”
The little girl nodded.
Meng Zhou asked again: "In which direction is Wanwei?" ”
The little girl stretched out her hand and pointed to the distance behind Meng Zhou.
Meng Zhou's face instantly had a black line.
Gone in the opposite direction.
Meng Zhou thanked the little girl, and then reflexively walked in the other direction.
The little girl sat on the sand and watched Meng Zhou go away, and after his figure disappeared, she let go of her clenched little fist, revealing a vivid straw grasshopper.
Carefully carried it into his arms, and finally patted it gently through his clothes, as if to reassure it that no bad guys would come to rob it.
She got up from the ground and ran in the other direction.
After about half an hour, Meng Zhou's figure reappeared on this road.
Looking at the position where the little girl had just sit, she shook her head and muttered, "Little girl who loves to deceive." ”
……
Meng Zhou rushed to Wanwei before it was dark.
There are two cross-shaped streets here, both of which are no more than 500 meters long, one is called Laohuai and the other is called Gujing.
Many Qi cultivators live here, and among them, you can also see some sporadic shops, purchasing spiritual materials, supplying spiritual food, selling basic talisman pills, practicing hostels, etc., which is also a specific and subtle cultivation place.
Turning Laohuai Street and entering Gujing Street, Meng Zhou's eyes looked more carefully.
As he reached the door of a grocery store, his steps became slower.
"The Fifth Ancient Well House, is this one?"
Meng Zhou thought in his heart, and while he walked slowly, he turned his head to look in.
At this time, an old reprimand happened to come from the depths of the store:
"Girl, if you don't want to do this pair of bird's head knots again, you won't be allowed to go out to play in the future, otherwise your legs will be broken!"
"Oh." A clear and immature child's voice responded.
The image of a little girl with withered yellow hair immediately appeared in Meng Zhou's mind, and he was very surprised in his heart.
"So fateful?"
Thinking like this, his figure had passed in front of the grocery store.
He walked on, without any intention of turning back to take a closer look.
Now, he doesn't know anything about the situation here, and he plans to learn more from elsewhere before considering it.
What's more-
Meng Zhou looked up at the sky that was rapidly darkening, and then at the already small number of pedestrians on the street who were rapidly disappearing.
Meng Zhou couldn't help but speed up and entered a cultivation hostel.
"Stay in the hotel."
"We have upper, middle and lower third-class rooms here, which one do guests need?"
"Medium."
"Okay, one lower grade spirit stone a day, twenty lower grade spirit stones a month, and three meals a day for free, which one do guests need?"
Meng Zhou's face showed hesitation, touched his body, took out eight from his left sleeve, took out five from his arms, and finally took out five from his belt, a total of eighteen lower-grade spirit stones, which he divided into three places to store, at this moment, he carefully put them on the counter, and asked a little embarrassed: "Is it okay to stay for a month?" ”
The shopkeeper's face was embarrassed, he looked at the spirit stones on the counter for a while, and looked at Meng Zhou with a shabby face for a while, and after a long while, he swept all the spirit stones into the drawer under the counter, and said:
"Okay, I think you're also an honest person, and I definitely don't agree with anyone else."
Meng Zhou's face was full of gratitude: "Thank you, thank you." ”
The shopkeeper smiled: "Just remember to take care of my business more in the future." ”
"Definitely, definitely."
While the two were talking and laughing, he had already taken Meng Zhou up to the second floor.
At this moment, the sky outside has completely darkened.
As he was walking, he suddenly heard two short screams from the mountains and forests in the distance.
Meng Zhou's heart froze, but the shopkeeper let out a sneer:
"People who don't know whether they are alive or dead are really dead, it's been so many years, and there are still people who are lucky.
Is the aura of our White Moon Bay so easy to rub? ”
Soon, the shopkeeper laughed with Meng Zhou again, and he didn't seem to feel disobedient at all.
He took Meng Zhou to the door of a room, handed Meng Zhou an iron token, and said:
"You put away this entry and exit token, each room has a soundproof and defensive formation, and during your stay at the hotel, by this order, you are the sole owner of this room.
Not even I've the right to get past you into the room! ”
In the end, he saw that Meng Zhou was not in high spirits, and said deliberately when he said goodbye:
"Small shop management, integrity-based, fair price, no bullying.
This is the purpose of our Baiyue Bay merchants!
As long as you hand over the spirit stone, you are our most honored guest, and you can rest assured of safety. ”
