Chapter 8 Eagle Mountain Lake Village
"Xuanhuo!"
Seeing Li Mo summon the Xuanhuo empty-handed, this miraculous ghost skill surprised Cao Wenguo.
Then, Li Mo pointed a little bit, and the Xuanhuo snorted into Cao Wenguo's abdomen, and at the same time, a force spread towards the meridians of the whole body, and the true qi in his body was rapidly transformed.
After a while, Li Mo retracted his fingers and said with a smile: "Okay." ”
Cao Wenguo hurriedly inspected his body and found that the Xuanhuo was hidden in the depths of his abdomen, and the meridians in his body were several times stronger.
He was suddenly pleasantly surprised, fell to his knees, and shouted, "Thank you seniors for mentioning it." ”
Xu Lian was stunned on the side, and at this time he quickly knelt down, and couldn't help but ask in a low voice, "Shopkeeper, you are already a Xuan-level Dan Master?"
"Yes. ”
Cao Wenguo nodded heavily, and the excitement on his face could not be concealed.
There has been no breakthrough in penance for ten years, and now it has been reborn with such a half-pillar of incense, which is like a dream.
This can easily make people rise to the Xuan-level first-grade Dan Dao, which shows what realm the other party's cultivation has reached.
Regarding the identity of the comer, Cao Wenguo was convinced at this time.
Yong'an City is just a small county town, a yellow-level third-grade alchemist is the top figure of the medicine workshop, and a Xuan-level Dan master is even more standing on the top of this county town.
Li Mo smiled slightly, got up and helped him up, and said with emotion: "Elder Nie didn't receive much of the favor of Shopkeeper Cao when he was a child, so why worry about this little thing?"
When the words fell, he flipped his hand, and there were two more bottles of pills in his palm, which were thrown to Cao Wenguo and the others.
"This is the Hundred Veins Continuation Yuan Pill refined by the secret recipe of the Xuanmen, which can prolong life, dispel illness and evil spirits, and live to be one hundred and fifty or sixty years old is not a problem. ”
Xu Lian's hands trembled when he heard this, and the pill bottle almost fell off, and he said in a panic: "Senior, you can't afford to be so small with a spirit pill." ”
"It's okay, just be a part of the audience. ”
Li Mo smiled slightly, this Xu Lian had a very good relationship with him when he was a child, and sometimes he stayed up late to read, and he was guarding the fire next to him.
At this time, he asked: "I have a question below, and I want to ask Shopkeeper Cao to help solve my doubts." ”
"Although the predecessors said, the old man must know everything. Cao Wenguo replied immediately.
Li Mo said: "Eight years ago, more than 100 people in the Nie family disappeared overnight, can Shopkeeper Cao know where they went?"
Cao Wenguo immediately waved his hand at Xu Lian, who rushed to the outside of the inner room and guarded the entrance.
Then Cao Wenguo lowered his voice and said: "This matter is said to be related to the Eagle Mountain Lake Village. ”
"You mean, the people of the Nie family were rescued by the people of Eagle Mountain Lake Village?"
Li Mo was thoughtful.
Cao Wenguo nodded and said: "Maybe Senior Li doesn't know, that Eagle Mountain Lake is three hundred miles away from our Yong'an City, the big lake is connected to the sky, and it leads directly to the Yong'an River, there are many islands in it, torrent reefs, complex terrain, and it has been a place where water thieves and river bandits gather since ancient times, and there are many fierce and vicious people. ”
Li Mo listened and knew it in his heart.
He is a native of Yong'an City, so of course he knows about Eagle Mountain Lake.
Lake Nawashiyama was a shortcut to transporting goods, and it would take a few days to reach distant cities if you walked from there, but many merchants were forced to divert because of the number of bandits.
Cao Wenguo said: "Fortunately, more than 20 years ago, there was a Vulture Mountain Lake Village established, and the owner of the village, Liang Dong, unified the bandits on the lake, forbidding killing people and goods, but charging tolls from passing boats, and the lake became peaceful. ”
"Then what is the relationship between this person and the Nie family?" Li Mo asked.
Cao Wenguo shook his head and said, "I don't know about this old decay. ”
Li Mo stood up, took out a folded piece of paper casually, and said, "Thank you Shopkeeper Cao for informing me about this, this is a few Dan recipes I wrote on the way here, and I ask Shopkeeper Cao to accept them." ”
Before he could answer, he went out.
When Cao Wenguo sent him back, he opened the pill and looked at it, and immediately exclaimed, these are all uncommon precious pills, but I am afraid that there are few families in the state city, if this pill can be sold, then why worry that the medicine shop is not prosperous.
In the early morning of the second day, Li Mo took Liu Ningxuan to the ferry port in the north of the city.
Dozens of large and small ships are lined up, and people come and go on the wharf, carrying goods, getting on and off the ship, and they are very busy.
Li Mo found a boatman and quickly asked about going to Eagle Mountain Lake Village.
Eagle Mountain Lake Village has five islands, the main island is called Zangjin Island, which is the center of the entire lake village, and it is difficult for ordinary people to reach. However, as one of the four sub-islands, Baikeng Island has a boat branch that can be reached directly.
It was a trading island, and merchants from the surrounding cities set up shop there to sell all kinds of goods, and only paid a certain rent and a percentage of the turnover.
Regarding the matter of his previous life, Li Mo did not mention it to Liu Ningxuan, as for why she went to Eagle Mountain Lake Village, the little girl did not ask, anyway, wherever Li Mo went, she went.
got on the boat, Liu Ningxuan suddenly whispered: "Senior Brother Mo, those two seem to be Xuanmen disciples. ”
"I'm afraid that it is, and it exudes an evil aura. ”
Li Mo nodded slightly, his eyes fell on the river in front of the big boat, and he didn't even have to twist his head.
The two people Liu Ningxuan was talking about were two young men in their early twenties, one dressed in black with a crow on his shoulder, and the other dressed in gray and slightly younger.
Long before getting on the ship, Li Mo discovered that the two of them were true and pure, different from the people of the mortal land, and they were definitely the children of Xuanmen.
Of course, this matter has not been hidden from Liu Ningxuan, who is now in the spiritual realm.
"Seeing that their cultivation also has a golden body realm, they don't cultivate in Xuanmen, what are they doing here?"
Liu Ningxuan whispered.
"It's okay, let's take a look later. ”
Li Mo said.
Xuanmen cultivation, Xuanyuan realm is an important threshold, once you set foot in the Xuanyuan realm, you will be listed as a Xuanyuan master, you can accept disciples, and you have a place in the sect.
Therefore, the disciples of the Golden Body Realm level are all trying their best to cultivate in order to upgrade, and it is impossible to return to the mortal land without important things.
So suddenly two Golden Body Realm level Xuanmen disciples appeared in this small place, which naturally attracted the attention of the two.
After taking a huge ship like the Tianming, the cargo ship in the mortal river looked like ants, and it took half a day to arrive at the wharf of Baikeng Island.
Standing here, you can overlook the huge Tibetan Gold Island, on which a large village and various strong fortifications are built, and hundreds of ships are tied in front of several docks.
To the east, there are three smaller islands scattered with dwellings and the like.
An avenue on the pier leads directly to the bustling market, where silk brocade forging, fish and rice groceries and even all kinds of minerals are sold.
The two Xuanmen disciples were very familiar with the path here, and they turned around and turned around, and it didn't take long to arrive in front of a big mansion.
There was no one outside the house, but there was a pitch-black crow perched on the eaves above the door, but a closer look reveals that its claws were white.
"White-footed Jay. ”
Li Mo stopped, avoiding the sight of the thing.
Like the six-eyed condor, this creature is a bird with a wide range of vision, and is used for surveillance tasks after domestication.
If you look ahead, you will be seen by this thing.
However, even though this place is still a hundred feet away from the mansion, this does not hinder Li Mo's exploration.
As soon as he sensed it, he instantly drilled into the mansion, and every grass and tree in the house was as if he had seen it with his own eyes.
When I entered the house, there were four Xuanmen disciples in the compound.
Along the courtyard there is a vestibule, and along the corridor of the vestibule there is another courtyard, with two arches on the left and right leading to the dwellings on both sides, and the main road in front leading to the hall.
Above the hall was a large black crow pressing, and there were six Xuanmen disciples in the hall, two of whom were sparring martial arts in the middle.
In the hall sat a man in his forties, with a pointed face and a bearded and sly face.
"Master. ”
Two young disciples walked in and bowed.
"Coming back so soon, it seems to be rewarding. The pointy-faced man said.
The black-clothed young man replied: "Master, we went to the classic libraries of several surrounding cities, and according to the collected historical materials, the nine-faced dragon fish should have followed the Yong'an River all the way to Eagle Mountain Lake, and the last place to disappear was near Zangjin Island. ”
"The nine-faced Arowana likes to hide in the crypt, and it is said that there are thousands of caves hidden in the underground under the Eagle Mountain Lake, which is the place where this thing is loved, and it will be much easier to do if this thing is confirmed. The pointy-faced man said.
"But master, this nine-faced dragon fish can't drink blood, bones can't be cast, scales and armor are useless, the flesh is extremely old, and even the inner pill can't be alchemy, isn't it too much trouble for us to run around for it?" The gray-clothed young man who accompanied him couldn't help but ask.
The sharp-faced man smiled and said, "Indeed, the Nine-Faced Arowana is of very little use to us. However, what matters is not the nine-faced Arowana itself, but the contents of this thing's belly. ”
"What's in the belly?"
All the disciples listened with curiosity.
The sharp-faced man didn't say much, but said in a deep voice: "Is there news of the wooden puppet gate outside the island?"
The black-clothed disciple immediately replied, "Master Yu, the whereabouts of the other party have not yet been investigated. ”
"Be careful, it's not just our Dark Raven Sect that we have gotten information about the Nine-Faced Arowana. The sharp-faced man said, and then said, "By the way, there is news from Elder Fu's side?"
"Said it would arrive in two days. The black-clothed disciple replied.
"Okay, then in the next two days, we will investigate the specific location of the nine-faced Arowana, if this matter is done, this is a great achievement. The pointy-faced man said.
Hearing this, Li Mo retracted his perception and said to himself: "It's actually a nine-faced dragon fish." ”
Liu Ningxuan obviously also released the perception of the past, and the conversation in the house could be heard clearly, so she tilted her little head and said in surprise: "Senior Brother Mo, they said that the nine-faced dragon fish is in the belly, what is it?"
It is not known what the origins of this matter may be. However, although the nine-faced dragon fish is not of great use to humans, it is different for dragons, and it is an extremely complementary thing. If it is a nine-faced dragon fish with a thousand-year lifespan, Xiao Hei can eat it enough to ascend to the realm of spiritual aperture. ”
Li Mo said.
As soon as Xiao Hei heard this, his originally lazy appearance suddenly became energetic, and his two eyes were shining.
"If that's the case, then we will swear to get this nine-faced Arowana. ”
Liu Ningxuan said with a small fist.
"Of course, besides, the people of this Dark Crow Gate are evil, and it is estimated that they are also evil, and the wooden puppet gate is only afraid that it is about the same, of course, there is no reason to let it go to them. ”
Li Mo smiled and said, "Then I'll leave the matter of monitoring the Dark Crow Gate to you." ”
"No problem, wrap it up on me. ”
Liu Ningxuan patted her small chest and said.
Then, Li Mo rented a large mansion not far from the mansion, which was just the right distance, and the perception could just include the entire mansion.
