Chapter 31 Fortune from the Sky
It was getting late now, and the team was looking for a place to rest on the bank of the Heishui River, waiting for two early mornings in a row, and Yu Lu was ready to go.
The Miaoyin Bird returned, chirped for a while and threw himself into the spirit beast bracelet, Yu Lu said: "The people of the Great Wilderness Ruins Gate have not stopped all the way, they are passing through the rich woody swamp in the north, and they will soon reach the edge of the Cangming Ze. ”
Lin Hao said: "Will the demon cub pretend to leave, and kill him after I leave?"
Yu Lu said: "Although Ji Chong's excuse is far-fetched, it is intended to avoid conflict, and we will not pursue it." If they return, they will be seen as an opportunity for war in the main garden. That person seems to be full of femininity, but in fact, he is very scheming, and he will never be so ignorant. In addition, the Dry Fog Forest is full of Miaoyin Birds, and it is not easy for them to break through the surveillance defense line and go further. ”
Everyone thought about it and felt reasonable, Xia Lian said, "What to do next?"
Yu Lu said: "Continue to inspect as originally planned, go northwest first, and then return to the garden when the March period is approaching." ”
Qun Xiu was quite upset about Yu Lu at this time, so he naturally had no objections.
"Ha, ha, ha." Ji Chong sneezed, "Don't try to get close to the Dry Fog Forest, that Miaoyin Bird is the eyes and ears specially domesticated by Tongchen Yuan, and it is extremely difficult for outsiders who are close to the forest to hide their traces, and for many years, without exception, Luo Wangshu must not be allowed to take the opportunity to go crazy." ”
Chen Xuexia asked, "The ruin master and the deputy ruin master have advanced to the Void Netherworld for a long time, why are they still afraid of Tongchen Yuan?"
Ji Chong slightly retracted his motherly spirit, and said: "Senior sister doesn't know, Luo Wangshu, the master of Tongchen Garden, is a spiritual ginseng, and the Taoism is extremely exquisite, and I heard that he also knows the magic of the fairy world, even if he is caught between two ordinary monks of the same level, he can come and go freely." ”
"Not only the owner of the ruins, but even the abbot of the Jialan Temple, the head of the Huaqing Sect and other powerful monks have treated him with courtesy, not to mention that Luo Wangshu is ruthless, and the rest of the people dare not offend easily no matter how extraordinary their magical powers are. Moreover, the head of the Tongchen Garden, Yuan Duyun, is also a supernatural figure, and even the infant girl cultivating the Qing Ming is not dared to be underestimated by ordinary people. ”
Qiao Li said worriedly: "Tongchen Yuan's strength is outstanding, but will it use our snooping to play the problem?"
Ji Chong said with a smile: "Although the master did not explicitly indicate what he was looking for, it is very likely that there is a certain heavy treasure in Tongchen Yuan, if the benefits are enough, what is the harm in taking some risks? ”
Qiao Li muttered: "I don't know what a heavy treasure it is, it can make these mystic people think about it. ”
Ji Chong said: "There is no need to speculate, just act according to the will of the master." ”
Qun Xiu's heart was not cold, and he was busy saying yes.
Qiao Li said hatefully: "If it weren't for the sudden appearance of that flat-haired beast, Qiao would definitely have to learn Yu Lu's skills." After a slight pause, he sighed: "This battle has lost two people, and it doesn't hurt that Senior Brother Mu has no backer in the door and dies, but Song Jiwei is ...... Senior Brother Zhang, I heard that the old cultivator in the door is extremely fond of him, is this really the case?"
The evil male cultivator said: "Song Jiwei is a descendant of the human race, and he is afraid of falling and afraid of turning on weekdays, and he is indeed extremely spoiled. ”
Ji Chong said coldly: "The fool surnamed Song is doing everything he can to sow discord with his backers, and it is not a pity to die." Ji didn't believe that the old man didn't dare to ask for the crime. ”
Qiao Li said: "Senior brother is a master of the ruins or a coquettish son of the Ji family, so he is naturally not afraid. The old man who didn't cultivate his usual life yelled at us to drink five and six, and I was afraid that I would inevitably suffer from cramps and peeling. ”
Ji Chong said: "Don't worry, Ji will never affect you in handling this matter." ”
Several people were overjoyed when they heard this, and they thanked them one after another.
Ji Chong stared at him and said: "It's a little strange to say, no matter how bad the waste Dao is surnamed Song, after all, he is dealing with a monk of the same level, how can he be cleaned up by that hairy thief in three or two clicks?"
Qiao Li touched his chin and said: "That thief seems to have been on the battlefield for a long time, and he can't take him for a while with Qiao's ability." ”
Ji Chong was a little distracted, and muttered, "I see, and the female cultivator who killed Senior Brother Mu is also of interest." ”
Qiao Li smiled: "That woman is immortal and jade, could it be that Senior Brother wants to take her into the bag?"
Ji Chong also smiled and said: "My Fair Lady, I can't ask for it, I can't ask for it, I can't ask for it, I can't think about it, what's the blame for this?"
Qiao Li said with a smile: "Senior brother, don't be lovesick, when Qiao captures it in the future, he will be sent to senior brother as a double cultivation partner." ”
Ji Chong smiled slightly, and immediately fell silent.
Cangmingze is more and more remote the further west it goes, and there are countless demon beasts here, and they can meet it every three or five times, so the huge area has been inaccessible for many years, and even with the people of Chenyuanmen, there is little contact.
However, the more treacherous it is, the more unexpected the scenery.
The fresh air, the verdant mountains, the verdant greenery of the mountains and the blue lakes make it extraordinarily enchanting, and the strangers who intrude are stunned by the elegant landscape.
Qun Xiu was relaxed and happy, especially Han Bing liked it very much, and stopped to watch it greedily several times, so that Yan Ci urged him many times before he reluctantly turned around and left.
Walk again and encounter a piece of reeds, first smell the wisps of fragrance, refresh people's hearts, and see several red blood lotus pavilions.
The huge lotus leaves are spread in the water, bright as the morning glow, the delicate lotus flowers are swaying in the wind, and the tender stamens are condensed, showing the noble charm.
Yu Lu let go of his mind and looked at it carefully, and said in a low voice: "This thing is called the Draining Blood Lotus, and it takes sixty years of wind and sun exposure and severe cold and heat to grow. Under normal conditions, it is not suitable for medicine, but if it is mixed with ice grass and soaked overnight, the surface of the lotus flower will ooze blood-like droplets, which is a holy object for infantile monks to instantly restore their mana. ”
Xia Lianqing's eyes moved slightly, and he asked, "Is it applicable to us?"
Yu Lu said with a faint smile: "The spiritual power of the leaching liquid is extremely abundant, but if the monks below the infant take it, even if there is even the slightest hidden danger of completely detonating the mana surge, it is extremely dangerous, and this lotus can be exchanged with the elders of the sect." ”
He cautiously probed again, and continued: "There is a fire spirit toad sleeping under the water, you wait and retreat to the distance first, and then go over to meet after picking the blood lotus for your brother." ”
Hearing this, the four of them quietly withdrew several miles away to wait, and after half an hour, they saw Yu Lu coming, and his face could not hide the excitement, and he actually shook out ten glow-filled blood lotus plants into the storage ring in one go.
The monks were pleasantly surprised, and Lin Hao said happily, "Hey, how could so many blood lotuses appear out of thin air?"
Yu Lu said with a smile: "Yu accidentally woke up the fire spirit toad when he took the lotus, and the toad demon gave up his life after seeing the loss of the blood lotus, and it was difficult for his brother to get rid of it for a while, so he took it around in circles. ”
"It's really lucky, just a little far away in the north, I met a few blood lotuses, which are also guarded by the fire spirit toad, the two beasts seem to have an old feud, and when they meet, they cooing and calling for a direct fight, but let me pick the other four by hand. ”
Lin Hao stroked his palms and smiled: "What a fisherman!"
The hearts of the rest of the people were full of joy, and there were four more blood lotuses in a daze, and each person could get two plants, which was undoubtedly the icing on the cake.
The group cultivators seemed to have hit a lot of luck all of a sudden, and in the next few days, they could often encounter elixir and spirit grass.
Although there are demon beasts guarding a variety of rare grasses, several people have good skills, magic weapons, and good minds, and when they encounter demon beasts, they either rush up or circle the wheel attack, and it takes several efforts, and finally each person accumulates more than ten spirit grasses, which is really worth the trip.
On this day, the group cultivators unexpectedly found a piece of purple leaf spirit orchid that had just matured, Lin Hao was overjoyed, and he stepped forward to pick it regardless of it, and as a result, a xenomorph monster with a body like a pig and a single horn was born.
This beast is ugly, with rough skin and thick flesh, but it has the magical power to shake the mountains and the sea, especially the sharp horns that rush forward, and the cold energy can't even withstand Yu Lu.
The strange beast picked up the pestle in the west, and the group of cultivators fled in panic, if it weren't for the slightly slower flight speed of this beast, it would be easy to add five corpses to Cangmingze.
Trembling and fleeing a hundred miles away, Qunxiu finally got rid of the monster, Lin Hao was extremely guilty, embarrassed and annoyed to apologize to the others one by one.
Although Qun Xiu's shock was undecided, he never embarrassed him, and Yu Lu only told him to be careful next time, and did not blame him for his recklessness.
After many days of getting along, the team continued to talk and laugh, and the relationship between them gradually became closer.
At the age when the group corrected the beginning of love, it felt that the slightest ambiguity and even the slightest embarrassment flying out of the team were quite useful.
Yan Ci looked at Han Bing's delicate appearance with fluttering hair and a smile, and her heart swelled with warmth, only feeling that if Han Bing was not there, it seemed that nothing was as interesting as she imagined.
What is hateful is that Lin Hao also seems to have a secret affection for Han Bing, and often looks for opportunities to talk to Han Bing or hide behind his back and sneak peek.
Han Bing was slightly aware, or because of his kindness, he didn't want to embarrass Lin Hao, so he could only deal with it quietly and perfunctorily.
Yan Ci was full of sullen stomach and slander. Yu Lu and Xia Lian saw this scene in their eyes, and secretly laughed through their bellies.
Time flies, the cold winter is quietly coming, the sky above the cangmingze is covered with clouds, and the cold north wind is whirring and blowing for a night, and it is full of swan feathers and heavy snow.
Snowflakes fluttered, with a unique dullness and inexplicable loneliness of winter.
Yan Ci likes to watch the snow, and the snow when he was young was like a white quilt, which was warm and magical.
When I was young, the snow was like a little elf, which was elegant and pleasant.
At this time, the beauty of childhood is gradually lost, snow is just snow, except for the cold voice, there is no such emotion of moaning without disease.
The whole swamp was covered in silver, the grass and trees withered and weakened, and the monsters and beasts all hid in the grass nests to avoid the harsh winter.
As March approaches, the team heads south to make their way home.
Half a month later, when I returned to the door, I felt that the cold wind invaded the muscles, Luojia Mountain was covered with snow, the pines and cypresses were bent over by the heavy snow, and the ice picks hung under the eaves, crystal sharp, like the fangs of foreign beasts.
Cangqi's plum groves are sparse and sloping, plum blossoms are blooming, and the cold wind floats with a refreshing dark fragrance.
There are few people in the empty mountains, and there are several people who encounter snow, and the fat dundun is extremely cute.
Gathering is not a short time, the parting party knows deeply, the life and death of the past few months, the friendship is not general, the group of cultivators in their eyes contains the sorrow of parting, the atmosphere is very dull, although they are both practicing in Luojia Mountain, but they live in a simple place and meet the period is still far away.
Yan Ci said goodbye one by one, and returned to Dicui Courtyard with Lin Hao sullenly.
