Chapter 65: Wushou Mountain
Everyone climbed along the bluestone trail on foot, and after a few hours, they reached the halfway point of the mountain. The breeze is slow, the white mist is blown away, looking down, the mountains and rivers are beautiful, the lush woods, the Qingxi waterfall, flying down in the meantime, Zhong Lingyu is beautiful, it is beautiful.
"I didn't expect that there was such a beautiful place in the smoky Shanhaiguan. Liu Haofei looked at it, and the beauty was in full view, and he couldn't help but sigh.
Since entering the boundary of Shanhaiguan, although the small area around the Blood Sea Lake is also full of green, it is much inferior to here.
"yes, it's a paradise!"
Wu Song nodded and agreed.
Liu Haofei also looked surprised when he saw Wu Song and the others, so it was not difficult to guess that these three people were also here for the first time.
"We were ordered by the master to come here to look for an elixir called "Mist Lingzhi", and I heard from the master that only this thing grows here. β
Wu Song stopped, looked around, and then said slowly.
"Wushou Mountain, Fog Ganoderma lucidum, just listening to the name, this thing should be a specialty of this Wushou Mountain. β
Liu Haofei said with a smile.
"Fog Lingzhi is extremely rare, and as the master said, even in the entire Wushou Mountain, there are only dozens of Fog Lingzhi, so it is quite difficult to find. If it is really a specialty, it should be found everywhere, I hope this Taoist friend will not joke. β
Zhang Yu frowned and said flatly.
"Yes, yes, Sister Zhang Yu is right. β
Liu Haofei smiled at Zhang Yu, his attitude was very kind.
This sister made Zhang Yu's face look a lot better.
Looking at the little beasts playing with each other in the woods, Liu Haofei thought thoughtfully, although it is extremely beautiful here, the aura is thin, even if it is a beast in the mountains, because it can't absorb enough aura, it can't transform into a spirit beast. In a place like this, whether it is an evil spirit or a cultivator, they will take a detour when they see it, after all, there is nothing to attract them here.
Although the arrival of Liu Haofei and a few people frightened many small beasts, it did not really scare them away. Many small beasts hide and watch the movement secretly, animals have a natural acuity, they are afraid of unfamiliar things, but that does not mean that they are not curious. Among them, some of them boldly ran to the entrance of the tree hole, slowly stretched out their heads, and stared at a few people outside the cave with a pair of big eyes.
The other small animals didn't see any danger, and they came with a snort, and gathered around everyone, chattering, so lively.
Seeing that there were so many beasts around him, Xiao Jiu immediately bared his teeth and roared. The little beasts were startled and retreated, faster than the tide receded.
Everyone didn't bother to see these beasts in general, and still walked along the bluestone path, not fast or slow, towards the interior of Wushou Mountain.
"This bluestone path is very old, and it must be some of the predecessors who lived here in seclusion before. But seeing that this path is so narrow, I'm afraid I don't want others to disturb me. β
Wu Song seemed to find a boring journey and began to find a topic.
"Yes, it's a pity that the years are not forgiving, the predecessors paved the way, and the descendants walked. When we walk on this bluestone path, we can be regarded as a witness to that senior. β
Liu Haofei smiled, and then the topic continued.
At this moment, everything around is silent, and occasionally you can hear bursts of insects, light and shadow, and the chaos shines on the woods, everything seems so comfortable, but it is terrifyingly comfortable.
The deeper you go, the more strange it becomes, you could have seen beasts in twos and threes, but now there is not even a single flying insect, and the woods are so dense that even light can't penetrate them.
Unable to see anything, unable to hear anything, once these two senses are lost, even the gods will panic.
However, Liu Haofei and the others are not so panicked, after all, there are still a few people to chat.
I don't know how long later, there was a light in front of me, and everyone was shocked and quickened their pace and walked forward.
When I got to the light, I found that it was a stone tablet. There was a faint halo of light emanating from the stele. Several runes can be faintly seen on the stone tablet, and due to the age, the runes have been blurred. Liu Haofei circled around the stele, but he didn't find anything special.
The crowd had no choice but to bypass the stele and continue to walk forward, but not long after everyone left, the stele suddenly disappeared as if it had melted into the sand, and was replaced by a dead wooden stake that had long since been weathered.
Everyone walked quietly, and there was a sound around them, that is, the sound of stepping on dead leaves, and the surrounding vision was much wider, but the trees on both sides seemed to be a lot withered, the leaves were withered, and the trunks were dry, which looked out of place.
Not long after, there was a Hessian village in front of it, and the walls were all made of black tiles, and the atmosphere was a little heavy.
Everyone looked at each other for a moment, and then slowly walked to the front of the village, looked at the black gate, and began to think in their hearts, should they push the gate open and go in? After all, other people's territory is in charge, and if there is still an old immortal living in it, it will be over.
However, a gust of evil wind blew, and the door suddenly 'squeaked' a strange sound, and a large copper bell on the top of the door also made a 'jingle bell' sound, coupled with such an environmental atmosphere, it added a bit of weirdness.
Wu Song hesitated for a moment, but still knocked lightly on the door, it would be better if there was someone inside, and if there was no one, he had to break in.
After waiting for a while to confirm that no one was inhabited, Wu Song pushed a little harder, and the door opened with a 'squeak'.
The first thing that catches your eye is a towering ancient tree, the reason why it is said to be an ancient tree because it is so old that only the branches are left, and the red ribbons are hung on it, which adds a bit of color to it.
The yard is not large, and to the right of the ancient tree is an ancient well, which is as old as the ancient tree, and the stone cover on the edge of the well has been weathered.
There was only one room in front of it, and through the crack in the unclosed door, it was faintly dark inside, and there was nothing worth noting.
"This should be the retreat of the senior who paved the way, I am waiting to come here, I can take a break here, what does Brother Liu think?"
Wu Song looked at Liu Haofei and asked.
"It's okay, I'm a little tired, and since there's such a great place, of course you have to make good use of it. β
Liu Haofei nodded and replied.
Just as the crowd wanted to enter the room.
"Hey, hey, hey, heyβ"
Suddenly, a creepy laugh erupted from inside the room.
Everyone instantly took a few steps back, vigilantly watching their surroundings.
Liu Haofei squinted his eyes and looked around to make sure that the sound was not from somewhere else, so he locked his eyes on the room.
"Hey, hey, hey, heyβ"
Cold laughter came out again.
"Pretending to be a ghost?"
Wu Song sneered slightly, and there was a hint of unkindness in his tone.
