Chapter 130 The catastrophe is coming
Lu Xuan was not familiar with Wanxian City, so he wanted to find someone to ask where this Mingyue Fang was. He knew that there were always Thousand Mountain Dao disciples on duty outside the other cave, so he took a few steps forward, and sure enough, he found two Thousand Mountain Dao disciples.
To his surprise, one of those two people he actually recognized was the first disciple of Xiaoyao Mountain, Wu Qin.
"Senior Brother Wu, why are you here?" Lu Xuan walked over in surprise and asked.
It stands to reason that with Wu Qin's status, he shouldn't be guarding the door here.
Wu Qin saw that it was Lu Xuan, and hurriedly returned the salute, but Lu Xuan found that Wu Qin's expression seemed to be a little wrong, and there seemed to be a thick melancholy on his face.
"Brother Lu, you shouldn't have been out of the cave for a long time. Wu Qin smiled bitterly.
Lu Xuan nodded, "I've been practicing in it for a month, and I originally promised to invite you to eat and drink, but I was delayed because I was too busy. ”
Wu Qin smiled bitterly, "There is no hurry to eat and drink, and even if Brother Lu finds us, I'm afraid we won't be able to make it up, everyone has been too busy recently." Brother Lu shouldn't know that the disaster of Qianshan Road has arrived......"
Woe?
Lu Xuan was stunned and asked, "Did something happen?"
Wu Qin smiled bitterly, "Brother Lu, have you ever heard of the beast tide?"
Beast tide!?
Lu Xuan was taken aback, he had heard Zhi Zhan talk about the beast tide when he first came to Qianshan Dao. It is said that in the past thousand years, Qianshan Road has experienced a total of four beast tides, with an average of one attack in two hundred years, and it is precisely because of the beast tide that the one hundred and eight immortal gates of Qianshan Road have fallen one after another, and now only sixteen immortal mountains remain.
Four times in a thousand years, counting it, it is almost two hundred years since the last beast tide!
Lu Xuan was surprised: "Could it be that the fifth beast tide is coming?"
Wu Qin nodded solemnly, "Yes, in fact, the beast tide has been foreshadowed on the first day of the first lunar month, but the Dao Lord and the mountain lords have temporarily blocked the news in order to avoid causing panic. However, in the recent past, as more and more monks poured into Wanxian City, the news could not be controlled, and now the entire Wanxian City was in turmoil, and the people were panicking, so the Dao Lord ordered me to maintain order in the city, and I was sent to guard the other caves. ”
Lu Xuan's heart sank.
Although he had not seen the horror of the beast tide, even if he thought about it, he could guess that it must be a catastrophe. After this beast tide, I don't know what will become of Qianshan Dao and this Ten Thousand Immortal City.
"Senior Brother Wu, do you know when the beast tide will come?"
"According to past experience, the demonic energy is soaring in the Valley of Ten Thousand Demons, this is the omen of the beast tide that will rise, and in the next five months, the beast tide will gush out of the Valley of Ten Thousand Demons. ”
Lu Xuan calculated the time and said, "So there are still four months left before the beast tide at most?"
"yes. ”
Wu Qin smiled bitterly: "Although there are still a few months to go, there are already many scattered cultivators who have begun to escape from Ten Thousand Immortal City, Brother Lu doesn't have to worry, you might as well stay for another two months before leaving." ”
"I'm not in a hurry. Lu Xuan smiled.
Wu Qin looked at Lu Xuan deeply and sighed: "Brother Lu is a person from the outside of the Dao, and he doesn't know the horror of the beast tide. The beast tide is indescribable with a catastrophe, and after this time, we brothers and sisters don't know how many are left. The so-called gentleman does not stand under the dangerous wall, Brother Lu has extraordinary talents, and his future is unlimited, and he must not lose his life now. ”
Lu Xuan couldn't help but be moved, he could see that what Wu Qin said was from the bottom of his heart, but he really thought about himself.
So Lu Xuan couldn't help but have a good impression of Wu Qin.
"I appreciate Senior Brother Wu's kindness, but since there are still a few months left, you are not in a hurry to let me go, right?" Lu Xuan smiled.
"That's nature. Wu Qin smiled, patted Lu Xuan's shoulder and said, "When I find a time, I will call Pu Lin and Qiu Rujian, we will not get drunk and not return, and we should see you off." ”
"Okay!" Lu Xuan put his backhand on Wu Qin's shoulder, and the two smiled.
"By the way, Senior Brother Wu does know that there is a place called Mingyuefang in this Ten Thousand Immortal City?"
"Mingyue Fang?" Wu Qin thought for a while, then nodded and said: "It seems that there is indeed such a place, it should be a tavern, just opposite Yinfeng Tower, does Brother Lu know Yinfeng Tower?"
Lu Xuan nodded.
Yinfeng Tower is the industry of Red Pink Mountain, when he and Zhi Zhan first came to Wanxian City, Zhi Zhan was also rolled up with red silk by Li Sanniang, the owner of Red Pink Mountain, and fell to pieces.
After saying goodbye to Wu Qin, Lu Xuan walked in the direction of Yinfeng Tower.
Along the way, Lu Xuan was thinking about the beast tide.
He wasn't overwhelmed by the beast tide, he just felt that in this way, his time was even tighter. Now that he hadn't gone to the Valley of Ten Thousand Demons to train, and he hadn't begun to think about how to steal the Heavenly Machine Gate, the appearance of the beast tide would definitely disrupt his arrangements.
As for the beast tide itself, Lu Xuan felt that it was a rare experience for him.
In the face of the disaster, some people may feel frightened, but Lu Xuan feels that no matter how big the disaster is, there is also a reason for it.
Lu Xuan walked quickly to the long street, and after walking not far, he saw the splendid and colorful Yinfeng Tower.
He found that the number of casual cultivators on the long street had increased significantly, almost double that of the first time he came to Ten Thousand Immortal City. This made Lu Xuan a little confused, it stands to reason that the beast tide is coming, Wu Qin said that many loose cultivators began to take refuge in advance, why did the number of people in the city increase instead of decreasing?
But apparently no one can give Lu Xuan an answer now.
A moment later, Lu Xuan really found a tavern on the opposite side of Yinfeng Tower, which was not large in size and looked a little out of place among the hundreds of large shops around.
It's still early, it's not yet lunchtime, when Lu Xuan entered Mingyue Fang, there were only three or five people in the store, but Ye Li was nowhere to be seen. It seemed that the master was no longer here, so Lu Xuan casually found a table by the window and sat down, and then took out a communication charm.
It was written that he had arrived at Mingyuefang and sent it out casually, but after a while, there was no reply from Ye Li.
There are only two possibilities, one is that Ye Li is also in a secret realm similar to the Cave Heaven, and the other is that he is a hundred miles away and the communication charm cannot be reached.
Lu Xuan was helpless.
The communication character is not arbitrary, and it is generally a pair of two children and mothers, and only two people can contact each other. Lu Xuan only exchanged communication charms with Ye Li when he went down the mountain, but now he can't try to contact Mo Yizhu and Chu Linglong.
There was no way, Lu Xuan had no choice but to start looking at this Mingyue Fang.
If the master wants to come here to meet by himself, is it a casual move, or does he have other intentions?
But no matter how Lu Xuan looked, he couldn't see anything strange about this Mingyue Fang, this was an ordinary old house, the tables and chairs looked very old, and there was a layer of oil stains accumulated over the years. There were four beams and pillars in the room, which were straight and round, but they were also blackened by the smoke and fire, and they were shiny with oil.
The shopkeeper was a middle-aged woman, emaciated, pale, as if she was sick, and always had a gloomy face, looking like a stranger. In charge of greeting customers in the store, there is a fat boy who looks no more than ten years old, this doll is white and tender, and his arms are like tender lotus roots, as if he can pinch water out of the water.
At this time, the fat boy was staggering in front of Lu Xuan.
"Guest, what do you want to eat?"
Lu Xuan saw that this kid looked festive, so he liked it a little, so he smiled and said, "Do you have any good dishes here?" Why don't you just help me choose two?"
"Okay! Mother, silver carp tofu, bamboo shoots and simmered pork!" the fat boy shouted to the female shopkeeper, who nodded, and walked to the back kitchen with a straight face. It turned out that this was a mother and son, and the mother was both a shopkeeper and a cook. The fat boy shouted and smiled at Lu Xuan: "Guest officer, this is a tavern, although we are good at food, but the best thing is wine." The best wine in our Mingyue Fang is called Immortal Drunk, look at your demeanor, such as the immortal coming to the world, the immortal should drink the immortal drunk. ”
Lu Xuan couldn't help but laugh when he heard it, although this fat boy was young, he seemed very lively and clever, which made Lu Xuan feel a little better.
"Okay, then bring it to me to taste?" Lu Xuan smiled.
"Okay!" the fat boy simply agreed, and ran to get back a pot of wine and put it in front of Lu Xuan. Lu Xuan lifted the lid and smelled it, and sure enough, the wine was fragrant.
"Sure enough, it's good wine. ”
"Of course, my mother made it herself. The fat boy said triumphantly, and then turned and walked away.
Lu Xuan looked at his back, and then looked at the middle-aged woman who was busy in the kitchen, and couldn't help but think of Lu Jiaxuan's parents. If he didn't cultivate immortals, he should help at home like this fat boy, in fact, wouldn't that be a kind of happiness? Lu Xuan has been away from home for a year in the blink of an eye, and he may not be able to go back in a short time, but he is a little unhappy.
After a while, two dishes came up, and Lu Xuan wanted to wait for the news of the master uncle, so he poured himself a drink.
At this time, two people were passing by outside the door, and they caught a glimpse of Lu Xuan eating wine there, so they laughed and turned in directly.
"Brother Lu, you are so leisurely. ”
Lu Xuan heard the familiar voice, and looked up, but it turned out to be Zhizhan and Pu Lin.
"How are you?"
Zhi Zhan and Pu Lin sat in front of Lu Xuan, and Zhi Zhan said with a smile: "The Taoist Lord ordered the two of us to patrol this long street, don't you see you while walking." ”
"Is it because of the beast tide?" Lu Xuan asked with a smile.
"You know everything?" both Zhizhan and Pu Lin said with a wry smile.
Lu Xuan nodded, "I just learned from Senior Brother Wu Qin. ”
Pu Lin sighed, "I thought I could stay with Brother Lu for two more days, but now it seems that there may not be so many opportunities." The catastrophe is coming, and we can't help ourselves. ”
It seems that the matter of the beast tide has had a great impact on the disciples of the Thousand Mountains Dao, and even people like Pu Lin are worried. However, Zhizhan patted Pu Lin's shoulder nonchalantly, and said with a smile: "There is wine today, drunk today, tomorrow is sorrowful, tomorrow is sorrowful, tomorrow is sorrowful, what's the use of thinking so much? ”
Zhi Zhan glanced at the wine jug in front of Lu Xuan, and his eyes couldn't help but light up.
"Immortal drunk, you kid is knowledgeable, this is a well-known good wine in the City of Ten Thousand Immortals. ”
"Jin Qiu'er, didn't you see your brother Luohan coming? Don't you drink yet?" Zhizhan slapped the table on the mountain, and the fat boy rushed over, grabbed Zhizhan's big hand like a fan and shouted: "Brother Luohan, don't slap our table apart." ”
