Chapter 188: The Way Come
The Western Little Spirit Realm is somewhat similar to the "exotic" country in the mouth of Jiang Yingchao.
Once you enter the fork, the illusion of the barrier automatically activates again, covering up the entrance. Jiang Ying and Yin Sanzhen entered together, walked for about half an hour, and saw a small village built on the mountain.
The people inside were all wrapped in turbans, had peculiar hairstyles, and their complexions were darker than the general skin tones of the people of the Eastern Minor Spirit Realm.
When they saw someone coming, they looked at them as if they were used to it, and then they went back to work.
Jiang Ying and Yin Sanzhen couldn't help but glance at their dress: In such a comparison, their identities as outsiders are obvious.
But they didn't know how to wear their hair in such a bun, and they didn't have similar clothes to disguise temporarily, so they didn't care about it and went straight inside.
After stopping and stopping, they finally found a post station, and the two decided to rest here for one night, and by the way, they would explore the customs and folklore of the Western Little Spirit Realm and the situation of the Immortal Sect.
Fortunately, even if the local people's attire is different from that of the Dongxiao Spirit Realm, the language of the people here is inseparable, and they can basically understand it.
It's as if Jiang Ying came from the dynasty, and after a period of familiarity, he was able to understand the words of the Dongxiao Spirit Realm without any pressure.
"What do you need to eat and drink?" The shopkeeper in the post station took a long white handkerchief and greeted Jiang Ying and the two with a smile.
Yin Sanzhen didn't answer immediately, and first asked Jiang Ying: "Do you need to eat?"
Jiang Ying took out the spirit coin and put it on the table, and asked the shopkeeper: "I don't know if your store can accept spirit coins?"
The common currency of the Eastern Small Spirit Realm is the spirit currency, even in the people, people use the spirit currency, so there are few other currencies here except the spirit currency.
But she didn't know what the rules of the Western Little Spirit Realm were, in case ordinary people used the local ordinary currency, it would not be suitable to eat and drink here.
I didn't think that the shopkeeper glanced at the spirit coin, and said with a smile: "If you collect it, what else will you collect if you don't collect spirit coins?"
Glancing at Jiang Ying and Yin Sanzhen's dresses again, he asked with a smile: "The two guests are not locals, right?
Only then did Yin Sanzhen speak: "There are many people who come here from other spirit realms?"
The shopkeeper said: "I don't know about other post stations, but this store is located right at the entrance of the spiritual realm, and there are occasional guests from other spiritual realms who come to rest here." ”
So Yin Sanzhen nodded and diverted the topic: "Then it's better to put on the special food of your store, let us taste the unique flavor of the Western Little Spirit Realm." ”
The shopkeeper immediately responded with a smile, and was about to shout at the cook to cook when he turned around and suddenly remembered something important, stopped and turned back, and asked with a smile: "I don't know if the two guests are monks?" In addition to the ordinary ingredients eaten by our people, this store also has spirit animal meat and spirit vegetables and fruits.
It is this small sip, it is like a spring breeze and rain, drinking spring in summer, dew in autumn, and cooking wine in winter.
The shopkeeper said, quickly licked his lips, looked up at the sky and gave a thumbs up, and his face was endless.
Yin Sanzhen and Jiang Ying laughed at him, and Yin Sanzhen smiled: "This sounds like you praised it because you tasted it yourself." ”
The shopkeeper hurriedly came back to his senses, retracted his gaze and scratched his head to look at Yin Sanzhen: "The guest laughed, I am an ordinary person, and I work in the store, how dare I taste it?"
One day, a monk passed by here and tasted this snow-capped mountain spirit goat meal. I saw that he ate it with relish, so I asked him to describe the taste, and came up with a prescription evaluation - hehe, I memorized it all!"
Yin Sanzhen and Jiang Ying looked at each other and smiled, this straightforward junior made them feel good.
However, the two of them didn't want to get off the spirit sheep, Jiang Ying said: "It's a pity that we don't have the blessing to enjoy - we only need ordinary dishes." ”
The shopkeeper nodded suddenly: It turns out that he is also an ordinary person!
"I see that the two guests look better than the fairies who cultivate immortals in the Immortal Sect, and I thought that the two of them are also fairies! Haha, I know, I immediately asked the cook to cook the special cooked sheep of our store for the two guests - we are very happy with mutton in the West Little Spirit Realm, there are all kinds of sheep banquets, the two of you taste it, and I don't want to leave the West Little Spirit World!"
As he spoke, he trotted into the house and beckoned to the cook to cook.
Yin Sanzhen and Jiang Ying glanced at each other, and learned about some customs in the Xixiao Spirit Realm, which was not for nothing.
After tasting the special mutton cooking, it really has a different flavor - of course, it may also be that they have eaten too much spiritual food. The two chatted with the shopkeeper for a while, mastered some information, and then stayed in the store for one night.
This night, they learned more information, and also learned that the most well-known Great Immortal Sect in the Western Little Spirit Realm at the moment was a sect called Xuantian Sect.
Hearing the news, Yao Bao whispered to Jiang Ying: [It's different from when the general was there. 】
Jiang Ying asked her: [Which Immortal Sect was the most famous at that time?...... Aren't you the spirit rabbit of the Western Little Spirit Realm? Why don't you seem to know this place at all? 】
[I am a medicine rabbit, not a spirit rabbit...... However, although I have been in the Western Minor Spiritual Realm for a long time, it does not mean that I am familiar with the Western Minor Spiritual Realm. Before I developed my intelligence, I was still a rabbit, how can I remember so much......]
Jiang Ying said helplessly: [What is the well-known Immortal Sect at that time?]
[Hmm...... I want to think about it...... That's right, it's called Mingyue Gate!]
Jiang Ying turned his head and asked the shopkeeper: "When we entered this place, we heard of a sect called Mingyuemen, but we didn't know ...... it."
The shopkeeper's face changed suddenly, and he looked at her suspiciously: "Do you know Mingyue Gate?...... What people have heard on the road? Which family of people dares to mention Mingyuemen these days?"
Jiang Ying didn't expect such a result, and was slightly stunned.
Yin Sanzhen also looked at Jiang Ying suspiciously: Mingyuemen? Since they entered the realm, where have they heard of the Mingyuemen?
After Jiang Ying thought for a while, he gave Yin Sanzhen a look, and then said, "I don't know, I just heard a passerby mention it, so I remembered it." ”
The shopkeeper nodded suddenly, and immediately smashed his mouth: "Oh, this Mingyue Gate...... It's a sect of the top evil sect. ”
"Evil Sect?"
"Hmm. Let's just talk about it privately, the two of you left the inn and went to other places, but don't mention this name again. ”
"So what the hell happened to it?"
The shopkeeper sat on the bench of the tea table next to them, snorting melon seeds and saying, "A few years ago, the Mingyue Gate was still a big immortal gate in the Western Little Spirit Realm. I didn't expect that in just a few years, all the real people and true monarchs in it would pass away one after another in just a few years!
Jiang Ying and Yin Sanzhen glanced at each other, Jiang Ying turned around and asked, "Why did the immortal die?...... I've heard that the lifespan of a monk increases with the ascension of cultivation, but the length of the extension is also related to the level of cultivation, isn't it because cultivation limits their lifespan?"
The shopkeeper sneered, and the melon seeds rattled: "How can this be? If this is the case, it will not make people jealous."
Guest, let me tell you, the inside story of Mingyuemen is like this-it is rumored that these cultivators and great immortals in Mingyuemen have indeed passed away one after another because of the problem of cultivation. However, this cultivation problem is extremely strange - it has actually gone backwards!"
"Backwards?!"
Jiang Ying and Yin Sanzhen were shocked.
The shopkeeper wanted this effect, and with a proud look of "only I know the inside story", he continued to explain to the two of them with melon seeds: "It is rumored that at the beginning, these great immortals only had the phenomenon that their cultivation could not rise.
But the Xixiao Spirit Realm is not a place where there is abundant spiritual energy, this cultivation has always been a thing that relies on seven points of hard work and three points of life, but these three points, in front of people with poor qualifications and in front of the power that has reached a certain height, it seems to be much more important than the seven points of hard work.
Therefore, it is understandable that these great immortals are not qualified enough to go further.
But the problem doesn't seem to be that way.
Almost at the same time, all of them struggled to move forward.
This is not a big problem, the biggest problem is that suddenly one day, these immortals began to regress in cultivation.
There are a total of two Yuanying Zhenjun and five Jindan Zhenjun in the entire Mingyue Gate, and they all have lost their spiritual power.
In just a few years, the cultivation of the six immortals regressed to the point where they could not support their lifespan, and they passed away one after another. The rest of the sect did not know why, and they couldn't find out the truth, so in order to avoid a similar situation, they left the sect one after another.
Since then, the Mingyue Gate has become a taboo place in the Western Small Spirit Realm, and the Immortal Family never mentions the Mingyue Gate, and the world does not dare to mention this door in order for their children to be able to practice smoothly, or in order for future children to have the qualifications to practice. ”
The shopkeeper finally looked at Jiang Ying: "So I see that the guest officer is young, I'm afraid he wants to enter the West Little Spirit Realm to seek immortals and ask, so if there is such an unfortunate sect as Mingyue Gate, it is better for the guest officer to mention it less." ”
Jiang Ying and Yin Sanzhen finally figured out the whole thing, but their feelings became very complicated because of this.
Jiang Ying said that he wanted to come to the West Little Spirit Realm at the beginning?
- See if there is the same phenomenon of obstruction here.
Unexpectedly, they just came, and they got the answer.
Even if it is only known from the mouths of the common people, but it can be made for the common people to describe the inside situation so carefully, even if there is an ingredient of adding oil and vinegar, the core should not be wrong.
Moreover, this is exactly in line with her guess and the truth of the Eastern Little Spirit Realm, and the chance of being biased is even smaller.
The two looked at each other and couldn't speak for a long time.
The shopkeeper thought that they were frightened by themselves, and hurriedly comforted them: "Of course, this kind of thing must be a problem of Mingyuemen itself, what is unfortunate or not, everyone wants to be auspicious and casually mentioned, the guest officials don't have to worry." ”
Only then did the two come back to their senses, Jiang Ying smiled, and asked the shopkeeper: "You mean, only Mingyuemen has such an encounter in the entire Western Small Spirit Realm, and other immortal sects do not?"
The shopkeeper thought for a while, and his expression was uncertain: "I haven't heard of it." Isn't this enough, if other immortal sects also have such a vision, this small spiritual realm in the west is not chaotic?"
Jiang Ying didn't ask, at least in the second person of the shop, he couldn't get the relevant information.
She and Yin Sanzhen knocked on the side and asked some more questions, but he didn't provide any more useful information, and the two of them returned to the guest room on the pretext of resting.
In the guest room, the two discussed the problem for a while, and finally rested with heavy hearts.
Jiang Ying released the medicine treasure and skin flower in his room, and then said to the medicine treasure: "Now you can tell me my father's footprints in the West Little Spirit Realm." ”
Yao Bao jumped onto the log table in the room, lay down in front of her, and said obediently: "After the general entered the realm, he met a loose cultivator, who was taken in by the loose cultivator and taught immortal arts, and his alchemy technique was taught by that scattered cultivator grandfather. ”
"Grandpa?"
"That grandfather is five hundred years old, and he is a foundation-building cultivator and Dan cultivator, and he teaches the general many things!"
"And how did you meet my daddy?"
"Well, at that time, I was targeted by an evil cultivator, who chased me all the way and seriously injured me, but it was the general who found me, picked me up, and treated me. Later, I needed a large amount of pills to restore my cultivation, and it happened that the general knew how to refine pills again, so I stayed behind and helped him out. ”
"You've followed him all the way after that, haven't you ever thought about leaving?"
"Well, the wound I suffered at that time was that the general did not fully recover even when he returned to the dynasty. Besides, the great general always mentioned to me many interesting things about you and the general's wife, and about the dynasty, and I thought, what kind of place are there so many interesting things?
Jiang Ying smiled and said, "You're not afraid that you won't be able to return to the fairy world in the future?"
"It doesn't hurt. If I can't go back to the Immortal Realm, I will be the biggest Immortal of your mortal dynasty! ”
Jiang Ying rubbed her head angrily, amused by her strange but very reasonable thoughts.
After a while, she asked again, "Then how did you leave this place and go to the dynasty at that time?" In the Boundary Roulette, you said that you did not return the way you came, and we could not find a way to return, so where did you leave from, and how did you know that you were able to leave?"
"It's the grandfather. ”
"Huh?"
"That Grandpa Dan Xiu is well-informed, and he just knows such a secret technique, the general cares about you and the general's wife, so he begged Grandpa Dan Xiu to help him leave, although Grandpa Dan Xiu disagreed at first, and then he couldn't bear the general's affection and reason, so he let him go. ”
"What kind of secret art is it?"
"Hmm...... I don't know, I don't understand. With the general's cultivation, he couldn't see through the principles of the secret arts, and even the process of Grandpa Dan Xiu's casting spells couldn't be seen clearly. ”
"This ......"
Jiang Ying was helpless: It seems that there is no way to return to the dynasty through the medicine treasure.
But she didn't give up, and asked again, "Where is that old man, does he have a permanent home, and can I go and find it?"
Yaobao hesitated.
