Chapter 335: Curse
There are some things that Ling Xuanying doesn't plan to talk about, at least seeing that she is doing well now, he can basically rest assured, as for the future, it depends on her own creation......
Mu Changning's eyes turned slightly, glanced at him, and couldn't help but sigh secretly. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
Every time I asked this kind of question, I ended up in nothing, or I was prevaricated by him...... People don't want to say more, and she won't force herself to ask the truth.
Honestly, this kind of thing is relative in the end, everyone has their own secrets and doesn't want to be known, comparing hearts to hearts, how can she not be like this.
Mu Changning was no longer at ease, and Ling Xuanying looked away, and lowered his gaze to see Wangchuan on the side staring at him inexplicably, bent his lips and smiled lightly, even if he got a grimace from Wangshen, he didn't care at all.
In view of the fact that they were going to stay on this Qianyang Island for half a year, the three of them first rented two cave mansions in the steward's office, and then they wandered around the market at will.
Qianyang Island is a relatively prosperous island group in the busy sea, the people on the island often come from all over the world, dressed differently, and there are many girls who repair their clothes and wear cool and exposed, walking on the road is enough to become a beautiful scenery.
When he arrived in a strange place, his curiosity also came up, of course, his focus was not the same as others, and he couldn't stop staring at the girl's house.
Mu Changning simply gave him some spirit stones for him to go around by himself, anyway, this guy will never let himself suffer, just find his own location and feel it at any time, Ling Xuanying didn't even ask much.
The things in the sea are also very different from those in Middle-earth, and the two of them looked all the way over, but they found a lot of strange things.
Mu Changning first went to the bookstore to buy some jade books, the first thing is of course the specific map of several nearby sea areas, followed by the illustrated book of various sea beasts, and then there is the summary of the regional cultivation of immortals and the customs and customs here, and what miscellaneous and interesting things he liked, all of them were put into storage bags.
Ling Xuanying looked amused on the sidelines and teased, "Why don't you just empty this bookstore?"
Mu Changning spread his hands, "Learn to live to be old, these things may not be able to be bought elsewhere even if you want to buy them, if you don't make up for it first, you can't even talk about it on paper." ”
Mu Changning was generous, and the waiter in the bookstore smiled happily, and when the spirit stone was settled, he enthusiastically sent the two away.
Ling Xuanying raised her eyebrows, "What do you mean by this, are you going to go to the waters near here to sharpen your face?"
"There's still half a year to go, and it's boring to wait on the island, so I just want to meet the sea beasts here. She paused and asked, "Is the fifth brother's injury all healed?"
Ling Xuanying nodded, "It's already fine, but I still need to retreat and refine some things, so I won't accompany you." ”
"It's good to be alone. Mu Changning didn't care, when he saw a rejuvenation hall, he couldn't help but be happy, and his heart said that this Dan Dao Alliance is really powerful, and the business is all over the country, and the branches have opened here.
She walked in quickly, and Ling Xuanying smiled silently and shook her head.
Mu Changning began to learn alchemy when he was a child, and now he has been immersed in this Dao for decades, and he has been working steadily all the way, refining the Seven Rank Pill has long been no problem, and he may be able to try to refine the Eight Rank Pill.
However, the more high-grade the elixir, the more difficult it is to put together the materials, and the opportunity to refine the high-grade elixir is rare.
Shenzhou is far away from Middle-earth, and it has its own uniqueness in all aspects, I don't know if I will see any rare elixirs.
Mu Changning's eyes swept over the shelves, not to mention the categories of various pills, just seeing their prices, she couldn't help but be stunned, "It's so expensive!"
The Rejuvenation Pill taken during the ordinary Jindan period sells one hundred spirit stones, one hundred and fifty spirit stones for the rejuvenation pill used to treat internal injuries, and the most common miasma breaking pills, detoxification pills, and other second-grade pills are all fifty spirit stones, even the cheapest one-grade Bigu Pill requires thirty spirit stones......
That's almost three times the price of Middle-earth!
When the waiter of the Rejuvenation Hall heard her sigh, he did not mean to despise her.
First, the other party is a senior of the Jindan period, and secondly, the Rejuvenation Hall has chain branches all over the Lingtian Continent, and the prices here on Qianyang Island are indeed much more expensive than other places.
"The fairy came from afar?"
Mu Changning was slightly stunned, and the waiter explained: "There are few spiritual plants growing in the several large seas of Jinshayang, even if the seeds are taken from elsewhere, they cannot be cultivated, in comparison, only the land of Luoying Island is suitable for cultivating spiritual grass, and in the past, spiritual plants were sold from Luoying Island to the nearby seas, but now Luoying Island is closed to the outside world, and this spiritual herb elixir can only be transported in large quantities from other places by boat, which is not only time-consuming and laborious, but also has to be much more expensive." ”
"I see. ”
Mu Changning knew that the Shenzhou was vast, and the traffic was indeed inconvenient, if this factor was counted, it was no wonder that the pill would be so expensive.
But...... Why is it Lok Ying Island again?
Mu Changning asked: "What happened to this Luoying Island, as a transmission link in the nearby seas, why did it cut off all external contacts?"
The waiter couldn't help but smile bitterly: "The question of the fairy is a small one, the four seas of the Jinsha Ocean, the Luoying Island in the Hui Sea should have been the most prosperous island group in this ocean, and now it is isolated from the world, how many people want to know the mystery here." ”
He paused, saw Mu Changning looking at him with a pair of clear eyes, his eyes showed curiosity, and he couldn't help but continue, "But to really talk about it, there are indeed several theories, among which the most widely spread is that this Luoying Island has provoked evil. ”
Evil?
Mu Changning was stunned for a moment, glanced at Ling Xuanying, and continued to listen.
"The lord of Luoying Island Zhao is a monk of the Yuan Dynasty, with a pair of talented children, and a deep relationship with Taoist couples, plus Luoying Island is famous all over the world, it was originally happy, but one day it suddenly caused trouble......"
About forty or fifty years ago, the most prosperous island in the Hui Sea was undermined by a great change.
Pieces of shark crowds around the island group to sing to the moon, the song is sad and complaining, the sound is tear-jerking, provoking the sea monsters in the nearby waters to respond, the entire Luoying island group is surrounded by all kinds of sea beasts, the sky above the island changes color, there is no day, in the deep sea, rolling up one after another monstrous waves, rushing to the island group.
The lord of Luoying Island Zhao opened the island protection array in time, but the huge waves roared, overwhelming the mountains and the sea, and attacked the entire island with a devastating momentum, the houses were washed away, the people were washed up on the high crests of the waves, and the island was flooded by the sea......
Several Yuanying monks joined forces to protect the main island of Luoying Island, but most of the surrounding affiliated islands were destroyed, and some were directly swallowed under the sea.
The sea beasts dispersed, the sky cleared again, and the spirit plants that were originally all over Luoying Island withered overnight, and the daughter of the island lord of Zhao Island disappeared from then on, and his son also became a monster......
The former prosperous place is now barren, and the owner of Zhao Island has no choice but to close the island from now on and not ask about the world.
The waiter said with emotion: "Since then, on the second day of the ninth month of every year, there will be all kinds of sea beasts gathering near this Luoying Island, making waves, and you can hear all kinds of ghosts crying wolf howls, which is very scary, all the ships sailing on the sea avoid this time period on their own, and many people say that this island has provoked something, otherwise, you say that it is decent, why did all the disasters come to the door?"
Mu Changning suffocated slightly, the waiter who spoke was knocked on the head suddenly, and the male cultivator who looked like a shopkeeper glared at the waiter fiercely, "I'm lazy again! I recruited you to do business, not to tell stories, what are you doing here!"
The waiter hugged his head suddenly, "Shopkeeper, I was wrong, I don't dare anymore!"
Mu Changning hurriedly said: "Shopkeeper, I have to ask, I hope you don't blame." ”
The shopkeeper was also frightened, but he glanced at the waiter, and then looked at Mu Changning and Ling Xuanying with a kind smile, "What do you two want to see?"
Mu Changning coughed, picked out some uncommon pills and bought them, and then walked out of the Rejuvenation Hall, but involuntarily, remembering what the waiter said before.
Ling Xuanying glanced at her and asked, "Are you thinking about Luoying Island?"
Mu Changning sighed lightly: "Why is this?"
Disasters from heaven are often caused by too deep evil obstacles, but what happened to provoke this kind of disaster?
Ling Xuanying was silent for a moment, and said, "Maybe it's a grudge." ”
"Curse?"
She had heard of this thing, it was a resentment generated by the anger and unwillingness of living beings after they died in vain, and it persisted in the place where they lived in front of them, thus forming a dark curse force.
The greater the resentment in life, the stronger the curse.
"What kind of curse can have such a powerful power?" Mu Changning was stunned.
Ling Xuanying touched her chin and pondered for a moment, and slowly shook her head, "It's not clear what it is, what I hear from others may not be accurate." ”
"But......" he still wrinkled his brow for a moment, "if what that man said is true, the power of this grudge is so great that I am afraid that it comes from more than one living being. Moreover, the power of this curse can attract countless sea beasts to cater to it, and it may be a thing in the sea. ”
Something in the sea?
It could most likely be a sea beast, and of course it could be some other creature.
Mu Changning turned his head and glanced at Ling Xuanying, his face was plain, he was really an inconspicuous one in the cultivation realm where handsome men and beautiful women were gathered, but Mu Changning always felt that he knew a lot, and he couldn't help but ask him for advice.
"Fifth brother, can't the curse be lifted? Just like the Brahmanja Prajna, if they can transcend the undead, why can't they transcend this resentment? ”
Ling Xuanying glanced at her helplessly, "The Buddha's mantra of rebirth is able to surpass the undead, but the individual's ability is limited, not to mention that everything has a cause to have an effect, if this layer of cause is unsolved, no matter how profound the Tao is, no matter how boundless the Dharma is, it will not be able to truly solve the problem from the source." ”
