Chapter 45: Mirage City
Li Qianmo escaped out of Lotus Peak, he didn't dare to turn his head back, and crossed the cloud platform three times and two times, only then did he breathe a sigh of relief, and when he relieved himself, he was a little confused: "Then Yu Jianqiu clearly said that I can never leave Lotus Peak, now why let me come down?"
He was puzzled, and walked all the way back to the room, and when he went in, he found Mingyue sweeping the floor.
As soon as Mingyue saw Li Qianmo coming back, she happily threw away her broom and ran over: "Ah, Senior Brother Li, you are finally back." β
"Well, I'm back. Li Qianmo smiled and asked, "Why did you come here to sweep the floor?"
Mingyue smiled and said: "My master asked me to clean it, he said that you may come back at any time, let me come to clean it every half a month, so as not to fall dust." β
As soon as he talked about Feng Yuanshan, Li Qianmo secretly thought to himself: "Could it be that Senior Uncle Feng knew that I was in Lotus Peak, and then secretly went to let Yu Jianqiu let me out?"
After thinking about it, he also felt that this possibility was relatively large, but he thought that he had accidentally broken into the Pure Yang Forbidden Land, which really shouldn't be, and he must not mention it later, so as not to embarrass both parties.
He was pondering, and Mingyue suddenly said: "Senior Brother Li, I went to tell my master that you are back, and he told me that as soon as I see you coming back, I will notify him as soon as possible." β
"Good. Li Qianmo smiled and nodded, and Mingyue ran out of the room happily.
Watching Mingyue leave, Li Qianmo picked up the broom on the ground and continued to sweep the floor, just after sweeping the room, Feng Yuanshan came in with a smile, and said as soon as he entered the door: "Senior nephew Li, I haven't seen you for a long time." β
Li Qianmo smiled awkwardly and said crampedly: "I'm sorry, Uncle Feng, I'm sorry for causing you trouble." β
"No, no. Feng Yuanshan waved his hand again and again.
The more Li Qianmo saw him being so generous, the more embarrassed he felt, and hesitated for a moment and said, "Uncle Feng, I've been here for a long time, it's time to leave." β
"Oh. Feng Yuanshan nodded, "Also, you are in the trial, you can't stay with me all the time, but, Senior Nephew Li, have you thought about where to go?"
Li Qianmo shook his head: "Not yet." β
"Then I can suggest you go somewhere. Feng Yuanshan smiled mysteriously and said, "Have you heard of the Land of Scattered Cultivation?"
Li Qianmo nodded, and said in a deep voice: "Master told me that there are many places where scattered cultivators gather in the five continents, and there are also monk cities there, which should be very lively. β
Feng Yuanshan smiled and said, "It's a sure thing to be lively, but it's a bit dangerous. β
Li Qianmo was stunned when he heard this, and blurted out, "What's the danger?"
Feng Yuanshan took a stool and sat down, and said slowly: " The place of scattered cultivation naturally gathers a lot of scattered cultivators, scattered cultivation is different from those monks who have sects, they do not have a strong back mountain and resources, all the cultivation is on their own, if those monks with dull qualifications are not enough to fear, those who are talented are powerful, they have experienced countless killings in order to save their lives, so they are decisive in killing, and their combat power is outstanding, even if they are one or two realms lower than others, they can also fight back, the most terrible thing is that these monks often kill people and seize treasures by unscrupulous means in order to improve their cultivation and combat power, and plunder the spirit stone elixir and magic weapon of other monks, so the general sect monks rarely go thereγ β
Li Qianmo was stunned when he heard this, and muttered, "In this way, that place is really dangerous. β
Feng Yuanshan smiled faintly and nodded: "The danger is certain, but there are not many monks who kill people and seize treasures, as long as they have done such a thing, they will be despised by some righteous monks, and they will be classified as evil demons. β
"I see. Li Qianmo muttered, "Then I have to go to that place to take a look, Master told me that the main reason for letting me come out to experience this time is to let me come out to open my eyes and help improve my cultivation." β
"Then when are you going to leave, I will see you off. β
"Without further ado, go now. Li Qianmo was a little excited, he really wanted to see what the situation was like in the monk's city.
"So anxious?" Feng Yuanshan was stunned, and then smiled, "Okay, I'll send you out of the city and come with me." β
Feng Yuanshan took Li Qianmo out of the door, and the two flew up together and went straight to the northwest.
Soon, the two of them went out of the Huashan realm, Feng Yuanshan and Li Qianmo both stopped in the air, Feng Yuanshan advised: "From here to the northwest, about more than 600,000 li, there will be a very big sea, called the Chaos Sea, that is the place of scattered cultivation, the scattered cultivation city is in the middle of the sea, called the mirage, that sea island is innumerable, generally occupied by scattered cultivation, you must not stay on those islands after entering the Chaos Sea, otherwise you will be targeted by scattered cultivation." β
"Yes, thank you Uncle for mentioning it. Li Qianmo bowed and thanked him.
"Let's go, be careful on the road. β
Li Qianmo shook his body at Feng Yuanshan again, turned around and broke through the air in the northwest direction.
I don't know when the road began, there is a more unit of measurement in this world, called "post", which is a unit used to measure speed, because of the need to transmit information, documents, military intelligence, on the way to set up a post station for people and horses to rest and stay, in order to transmit information faster, and later derived the word "post" in the military camp, indicating the distance traveled in an hour.
The unit of measurement of "post" was widely spread in the mortal world, and was later used by monks, Li Qianmo's current speed is almost 1,000 stations, and he can fly 12,000 miles without sleep for twelve hours a day.
And the Chaos Sea is more than 600,000 miles away, and it is impossible for him to fly without sleep all the time, so it will still take a long time to fly there.
For two whole months, he took less rest and traveled more, and he hurried with stars and moons, but he was still 100,000 miles away from the Chaos Sea, but he also became excited about hope.
Seven days later, he finally arrived and saw the sea of chaos, and the smoke was faint from afar, covering a vast sea, the sea was far away and blue, and the end of the sun was hidden in the west, and the sky was blue.
Seeing such a beautiful scenery, Li Qianmo's heart felt relieved for no reason, as if his chest was much broader. He remembered that Feng Yuanshan had told him not to look for islands to stay in the Chaos Sea, so as not to provoke Sanxiu, so he found a mountain forest to sleep in the open for a night, and only after he had enough spirit did he step on the flying sword and fly towards the center of the sea.
The Chaos Sea was very large, and he flew for three days and two nights at his speed, and on the evening of the third day, he saw a city suddenly looming on the sea in front of him, looming in the vast sea water, ethereal, like a mirage, and it was no wonder that this city was called Mirage City, and this name was very appropriate.
When he flew closer, he saw clearly that the original mirage city was built on a huge island, which occupied nearly half of the island, and there were many markets outside the city, and the whole island was very lively.
Li Qianmo fell in front of the city gate, only to see people coming and going, all monks, just here to see hundreds of people, he couldn't help but secretly exclaimed: "It turns out that there are so many monks in this world, there are so many at the city gate, and there are still inside." β
He sighed and walked towards the city gate, and as soon as he arrived at the city gate, he was stopped by two monks in black robes, and the bearded monk on the left shouted, "Go to the city and show the token!"
Li Qianmo was stunned when he heard this, and said puzzledly: "What token?"
The monk on the right pointed to his chest and said, "The token of Mirage City, you can only enter Mirage City with this token, if you don't have it, you have to buy one with a spirit stone." β
Li Qianmo looked at his chest, and sure enough, there was a token the size of an egg, purple, with a pattern engraved on it, and half a sun rose on the sea, and he didn't know if it was a rising sun or a sunset.
He nodded after looking at the token: "Okay, I'll buy one, how many spirit stones?"
"Ten pounds. β
"So much!"
"Not much. The monk on the left smiled and said, "If you can't afford it, go to the market outside the city, where you don't accept spirit stones." He said and looked at Li Qianmo with a mocking expression, in his opinion, how could such a low-level monk get ten catties of spirit stones.
Li Qianmo directly ignored his mocking face, took out ten catties of spirit stones and handed them over: "I'll buy one." β
The monk was stunned, accepted the spirit stone, took out a token and handed it to Li Qianmo, Li Qianmo took it in his hand, and found that the material of this token was very strange, as light as wood, but it felt as warm and silky as jade.
Seeing that Li Qianmo kept stroking the token, the monk sneered: "I haven't seen it, this is made of Nanling wood, and there is a formation pattern carved by the commander of the city himself, which no one can imitate." β
Li Qianmo glanced at him and said lightly: "I eat it with red sandalwood ambergris wood, and I have never seen this kind of low-grade wood." With that, he flicked his sleeves and walked into the city gate, leaving only the monk standing there dumbfounded, while the other monk covered his mouth and snickered at the sight of his companion's cowardice.
