Chapter 7 Into the Mountain
Renxiu only haunts the edge of Damang Mountain, and will not enter the depths of Damang Mountain unless it is a last resort. It is the cultivation of Ma Kui, scruples, and Hua Wu. If you want to cross the Damang Mountain, you can go to Acura in the south, and you have taken a big risk.
Li Wumang is not willing to fly to Damang Mountain like this, after all, the distance used by the "Tengyun Fu" is limited, and he still expects it to escape in the future. After flying for more than ten miles, a silver-like river appeared on the earth, and there was a riverside wharf three miles away from Li Wumang. Li Wumang fell.
This river, known as the Jinjiang River, originates in the Damang Mountains and winds northward.
Li Wumang walked down the avenue and walked to the riverside wharf. See some of the boats docked at the pier. The men who make the ship are mortal. A boatman saw Li Wumang coming, jumped off the boat, and ran quickly towards Li Wumang.
When they got closer, the boatman beckoned Li Wumang: "Guest officer, do you want to hire a boat?" The villain's clipper is newly painted, fast and good. ”
"I'm going to Quangang. ”
"Quangang is more than 1,000 miles away from here, and it is to go up the river and ask for three spirit stones. The boatman was in his twenties, and he smiled with a mouthful of white teeth.
"Why do you still have to collect spirit stones on this ship?" Li Wumang had never dealt with mortals on the mainland, which was a little strange.
"Guest officer, you have to pull the fiber upstream, and the villain wants to rent two demon beasts named 'three-tailed carp'. Get two spirit stones, and the ship price is one spirit stone. ”
"How much silver is a spirit stone worth?" Li Wumang was a little curious.
"Guest officer, a spirit stone is a hundred taels of silver. "The boatman also felt that the price was a little higher, and he was a little embarrassed.
"Look at your ship. Li Wumang figured out one thing, it turned out that spirit stones could be exchanged for silver.
The boatman hurriedly turned around and took Li Wumang to look at his clipper. The boat was four zhang long and one zhang wide, and it was covered with black felt. The new black paint was painted, and Li Wumang was still satisfied with it, so he took out three spirit stones and handed them to the boatman.
"The guest officer waited for a while, and the villain went to rent the 'three-tailed carp'. After saying that, he ran away. After a while, the boatman ran back: "Guest officer, please come on board." After setting up the gangplank, Li Wumang walked onto the boat and stood at the bow of the boat.
The boatman quickly put away the gangplank and untied the anchor. Walking to the stern of the boat, the clipper left the dock and headed for the center of the river.
"Boatman, where is the three-tailed carp you are talking about?" Li Wumang couldn't help but ask when he saw that there was no trace of demonic energy around the boat.
"Guest officer, the three-tailed carp will be here soon. ”
As he spoke, a flat boat broke through the waves. The one who drove the boat was a person who practiced qi at the fourth level. At this time, Li Wumang faintly felt the demonic aura underwater.
It's close to the clipper. The man on the boat was in his thirties. Seeing Li Wumang, he said, "Brother Tai, I will greet you below." "Hold your fists on the boat. Li Wumang waved his hand. "No need to be polite. ”
Seeing that the boatman threw two thick ropes into the water, the man on the boat said, "I'm offended." Then he shouted: "Go!"
The backs of two three-tailed carp were exposed on the surface of the water, and seeing that the scales were the size of a sea bowl, Li Wumang estimated that the three-tailed carp should be two zhang long.
The three-tailed carp one by one, with a thick rope in their mouths, dragged the fast boat upstream, and threw the flat boat out of the distance in a blink of an eye.
The boatman brought the oars up from the water. "Guest officer, the three-tailed carp is a first-class demon beast, and it is the most spiritual, so this ship doesn't have to worry about it. Naturally, we will arrive at Quangang. ”
"The three-tailed carp is a demon beast in the river?" Li Wumang saw that the boat was going fast, and he was very satisfied, so he asked the boatman.
"The two sides of the river are densely populated, there are many immortal cultivators, and there are no demon beasts. The three-tailed carp is in the big lake in the Damang Mountains, and Renxiu caught it and brought it out. The boatman replied as he cleaned up.
"A three-tailed carp has a spar, these two are worth four hundred taels of silver, aren't you afraid that people will snatch them?" A first-class demon beast spar, in Hengmaoxiang for two spirit stones.
"Although the guest officer can rest assured, mortals dare not touch the demon beasts of immortal cultivators, there are many three-tailed carp along the Jinjiang River, and they are all bought and sold by some disciples outside the sect of immortal cultivators. Ordinary immortal cultivators would not have this idea. The boatman glanced at Li Wumang.
The boatman listened to the people on the boat and was very respectful, knowing that Li Wumang was also an immortal cultivator, and his cultivation must be higher than that of the person just now.
"You don't have to look at me, and I don't want these two hedrons. "Li Wumang has always been in the company of mortals, although he is a cultivator of the eighth layer of Qi training, he does not despise the boatman. So it was a joke.
The boat family makes a living in Jinjiang, and they have seen many immortal cultivators, and it is the first time they have seen such a casual one as Li Wumang. The guest officer laughed, these three-tailed carp are a business repaired by people, and mortals such as us are just renting them, and even if they run away, they don't need compensation from the boatman. ”
"That's right, boatman. You three-tailed carp don't have any restraints, so honest and just pull fibers, why can't you run away?"
"These three-tailed carp are all tamed, and I don't care when I get to Quangang, and the two three-tailed carp will return to their owners on their own. The boatman said with a smile.
The scenery on both sides of the Jinjiang River is beautiful, Li Wumang stands on the bow of the boat to watch, the river breeze blows, the clothes flutter, handsome and good.
The boatman looked at Li Wumang and said, "It's a pity that it's not going down the river and can't hang the sails." ”
"What about hanging sails?"
"The guest officer is a talent, and the mortals on the Jinjiang River have a word: the white ramie spring shirt is like snow, and the river is full of sails. It is the immortal characters like the guest officer who are admired. The boatman said sincerely.
"I only said that the boatman was in charge of the boat, but it turned out to be an elegant person. Li Wumang smiled.
"Don't dare, the villain just felt it. The boatman didn't dare to say any more, and lowered his head to clean up the affairs on the ship.
Li Wumang sat in the black felt tent, pranayama and recuperation.
Wangcheng is more than 1,000 miles away from Damang Mountain, and the clipper boat towed by the three-tailed carp can go 50 miles in an hour, and Li Wumang arrived at Quangang the next day.
Quangang falls at the foot of Damang Mountain, and there are no mortals living here. The wharf is more than a dozen ships docked. On the shore there are three houses, one of which is an inn.
Li Wumang went ashore, walked to the front of the inn, and saw a plaque hanging on the lintel of the inn, with the book "Daan Inn".
I went into the inn and asked for a room. Let the guy bring the food and drink into the house. "If you enter the mountain, you won't eat the fireworks of the world. Li Wumang said in his heart.
The second morning, he came out to settle the bill, and the shopkeeper was in his forties, and like Li Wumang, he was also a cultivator of the eighth layer of Qi training, "Is the son going to enter the mountain?" and received the spirit stone, and the shopkeeper asked.
"The first time I came here, I wanted to go into the mountains to find a place to cultivate, but I didn't know where it was suitable. Li Wumang saw the shopkeeper's initiative to talk, and thought that he had something to say.
"The shop has a guide's business. Although the 'Daan Inn' is small, it has also been operating here for hundreds of years. is very familiar with the neighborhood, and the guest officer might as well hire a guy from a small shop, two spirit stones a day, and go with the son. The shopkeeper said with a smile.
"Okay, I'm going to leave now, don't you know if it's convenient?"
"Wait, officer. The shopkeeper called a guy in his thirties who practiced qi at the sixth level, and asked him to bring Li Wumang into the mountain.
The guy and Li Wumang left the inn and headed for Damang Mountain.
"Guest officer, ten miles ahead is Damang Mountain, there are three directions from the inn past, I don't know ...... guest officer"
"I also have countless hearts in my heart, man, you can do it. ”
"Well, it's a little farther to take the left road, but there's more to choose from. With that, the man struggled forward. Li Wumang knew that this was a guy who was not as good as himself, so he was doing his best, and he followed behind him.
The guy is also a sixth-level Qi cultivator, and ten miles is only ten breaths.
"Guest officer, those who come to Damang Mountain to cultivate, and those who cultivate below the foundation building period will not go deep into thirty miles away, please come with the small ones. "The guy didn't dare to ask what Li Wumang meant, if there was a person who didn't know whether he was alive or dead, he had to go into one hundred and eighty miles, wouldn't he want to kill himself?
The guy had an extra machete in his hand and walked towards a mountain road, with Li Wumang following behind. The man cut some thorns in front of him, followed a path that the demon beast had stepped on, and walked with difficulty into the mountain.
After walking for more than 20 miles, the guy stopped, and in front of him was a pool of more than 300 acres, and the pool was bottomless. A waterfall hangs down from the opposite cliff and falls into the pool, and the trees on both sides of the mountain peak reflect in the water, which is really picturesque.
"Guest officer, this place has penetrated more than 20 miles into Damang Mountain, and the aura can be cultivated within a radius of 30 miles. The little ones thought it would be better to find a cave here. ”
"Man, have you brought anyone else here too?" Li Wumang looked left and right, and asked casually.
"Guest officer, there are more than 100 places nearby where you can cultivate. Three years ago, the villain once brought a person to repair here, and I think this person has already left. ”
"How do you know he's gone?"
The man replied, "Guest officer, although this Damang Mountain is famous, there is actually no place with abundant spiritual energy nearby. When people cultivate here and become familiar with the environment, they will grope to find a more suitable place to cultivate. ”
"Okay, that's it. Li Wumang gave the guy two spirit stones, and the guy thanked him, turned around and went back to the inn.
"The aura here is just barely cultivating, and if you want to have a better place, you have to venture deep into the mountains. Li Wumang found a stone and sat down, looking at a pool of clear water, thinking about whether he should go further.
Make up your mind and stand up. Lift up the "Soaring Cloud Talisman". Li Wumang felt the changes in the aura around him, and went to the depths of Damang Mountain to the sky. Chasing a wisp of pure aura, he landed in a valley. Li Wumang estimates that this place is also a hundred miles away from the waterhole.
Settle on a boulder. Sweeping around with his divine sense, there was no powerful storage in the vicinity for ten miles. "It's good to be able to improve the level, and the eight-layer divine consciousness of Qi cultivation can be released. And it can be released for ten miles. When practicing the seventh layer of qi, it is simply unimaginable. Li Wumang said to himself.
Find a stone cave nearby, and use your spiritual power to clean up the gravel, dust, insects, ants, snakes, and rats. I found a big rock outside the cave and blocked the entrance to the cave.
Li Wumang sat down cross-legged and practiced "Peep Dao Decision". After practicing the exercises for nine weeks, I received the exercises and closed my eyes to breathe. I secretly rejoiced in my heart: "The aura here is more pure and abundant than the 'Qingyun Cave'." You can try how much aura the 'Phoenix Relic' can absorb. ”
