Chapter 257: Wandering Tribe
Two days later, Kashan's tribe arrived, and the tribe was not large, there were only more than two hundred households in total, and each household was also a rubber boat, the largest and longest one belonged to Elder Mannie, and there were more than a hundred knots, coiled together like a snake array.
Mannie was already in her sixties, and her spirit still looked very strong, Zhang Yue glanced at it and saw that Elder Mannie had reached the realm of internal strength and external release, according to the standards of this star, she was a martial arts master.
"Hello Elder Mannie, I am a cultivator and want to go to Black Rock City. Zhang Yue explained his intention straightforwardly.
"Hello, Venerable Cultivator. ”
Elder Mannie had already heard about Zhang Yue from Kassan.
"I haven't been to Black Rock in over twenty years. ”
"Do you remember the road, or do you have a map?"
Mannie shook her head, "We don't have a map here. She stretched out her hand and pointed in a direction: "There, the rubber boat has been on for nine months, and it is Black Rock City." ”
"How do you position yourself? It's hard to walk in a straight line all the way at such a distance. ”
"Yes, in the center of the earth, if you travel long distances, you must have a vein stone. ”
"Vein Stone, is this it?"
Zhang Yue took out his vein stone.
Mannie was overjoyed: "That's right, it's convenient for you to have it." ”
Mannie took out her vein stone and slowly approached Zhang Yue's, and when the two vein stones collided together, a burst of yellow light emitted a burst of light.
"Vein Stones are magical treasures, they remember the breath of their companions, and they can sense each other's direction no matter how far apart, I have copied the breath of the Vein Stone in Black Rock City to yours. ”
Zhang Yue retrieved the vein stone, and his divine sense probed into it, and sure enough, he felt that a small yellow dot appeared on the edge of the original map, marking the direction of Black Rock City that Mannie said.
"It's amazing. Zhang Yue thought for a moment and asked, "Won't that vein stone in Black Rock City move?"
"No, the city's vein stones never move, unless the city is breached, and the vein stones of Black Rock City have been around for hundreds of years. ”
"Thank you, I would also like to ask about the practitioners. ”
"You came to the center of the earth from the outside, right?
Zhang Yue nodded calmly: "Yes." ”
Elder Mannie sighed, "When I was younger, I also met a foreign cultivator, I was about the same age as Kasan is now, I didn't know anything, that cultivator taught me a lot, and when I was leaving, I asked if I wanted to leave with him. ”
Elder Mannie paused, her eyes looking like she was reminiscing about the past.
"Why didn't you go?"
"Let's go?" Mannie smiled bitterly, "You see our tribe, how do you feel?"
The small tribe was in full view of Zhang Yue's divine sense, and after Kasan's rubber boat returned, it docked a large rubber ball, which seemed to be the common activity area of the tribe, and Jiani immediately joined a group of children in the game.
There is no gravity in the Earth's Spiritual Domain, and inside the sphere it is like space, and all the children float in it, bouncing themselves around like a pool ball.
Like a small cannonball, Jiani hit a slightly older child head-on, and the two of them popped in opposite directions, hit the wall of the rubber ball, and bounced back like a trampoline, and all the children laughed.
"It's hard, but it's fun. ”
"Yes, it's fun in the midst of suffering. Every tribe has a vein stone, which is the foundation of the tribe, without the vein stone, the tribe's rubber ship will lose its direction, unable to track the leyline heat flow, unable to find new water and air, and will be lost in the vast heart of the earth and trapped. ”
"Only you can manipulate the Vein Stone?"
"Well, you see, in order to use the Earth Vein Stone, you need to send 'Qi' inside, although every adult in the tribe has Qi in their bodies, but to reach the realm of Qi Practitioner and release Qi, it takes talent and hard cultivation. At that time, my mother was the only Qi practitioner in the entire tribe, and her health was not very good, and I was the most promising person to succeed her. ”
"Got it, so you can't go. ”
"yes, can't go. My mother has passed away for many years, I am sixty-eight years old, I don't know how many more years I can last, and now the most promising person in the tribe to reach the realm of Qi Cultivator is Kashan. ”
"Why do you want to live a wandering life and not settle in something like Black Rock City? I can help if you need anything. ”
"Thank you, kind cultivator, those rock monster crystal nuclei that you generously gave us are a huge fortune, enough for our tribe to get a place to settle in Black Rock City, but we are used to the current life, in Black Rock City...... Maybe we'll be better off, but Jiani will never smile so happily again. Perhaps, I will save these crystal nuclei and let the people of the tribe choose for themselves in the future, whether to continue to wander with the tribe or leave to live in the city. ”
"I'm sorry, people talk a lot when they're old, I haven't answered your question yet, there are indeed cultivators in Black Rock City, and I've heard that powerful cultivators have a way to leave our world, but I don't know the specific method. ”
"That's enough to know, thank you, Elder Mannie, I'll be leaving for Black Rock City tomorrow. ”
"Okay, our tribe will have a banquet tonight, please come and come. It's been a long time since our tribe had a banquet, and I'm sure the children will be happy. ”
"I'll attend. ”
There is no alternation of day and night in the center of the earth, but the tribal rubber ships will light up and go out according to a fixed period of time.
This custom made Zhang Yue speculate that perhaps the human ancestors in the Earth Mind Domain came from the outside world, so they had this habit of simulating day and night.
Approaching the "evening", the rubber boats dimmed the brightness and switched to hazy tones, and the rare carnival of the tribe began.
With unlimited food, carefully blended drinks, legendary liquor, beautiful singing and gravity-defying dancing, this is destined to be a night to remember for the entire tribe.
According to the custom, Zhang Yue said goodbye and left when the banquet was not over, and returned to the cabin of the rubber boat where he temporarily lived.
With a pinch of his fingers, a bright and soft light cluster was lit, and under the light, Zhang Yue took out a blank booklet, and as he pressed the palm of his hand, rows of neat handwriting appeared in the book, which was the gift he was going to leave for Jiani.
The children were still partying in the banquet, and a pair of adults quietly left the scene, Zhang Yue smiled and withdrew his divine sense.
The hatch opened, and Kasan entered, her face flushed like a peach.
"You've been drinking?"
Kashan looked at Zhang Yue steadily, "What does the sea look like?"
"You want to know?"
Kasan nodded vigorously.
"Close your eyes. ”
As soon as Kasan closed her eyes, a scene that shocked her beyond words came to mind.
The tide of the spring river is even with the sea, and the bright moon on the sea is born together.
At this moment, Kashan knew what the sea was, what the spring tide was, and what the bright moon was, and two lines of tears slowly slipped from her closed eyes.
