Chapter 131 Old friends meet
"Heaven and earth are the reverse journey of all things; time is the passerby of hundreds of generations."
When it got a little brighter, Lin Bai whispered and opened the door and went out.
Being on an adverse journey, even though he was guaranteed safety, Lin Bai still didn't dare to be careless, so he didn't sleep a wink all night.
Especially thinking about the Yuanying sword in Qingzaofang in the past, Lin Bai was afraid that another Yuanying would come and destroy Longmenfang with a sword.
After walking a few steps, I saw several intellectuals coming up, holding signs in their hands, and knocking on the door.
I saw a door open, and then Zhike went in, and soon led out an ape.
This water monkey is a common name, but its formal name is White-browed Water Monkey.
The water ape is light gray all over, with gray eyebrows and khaki eyes. The adult water ape is about eight feet tall. He has always lived by the lake and is good at swimming. It feeds on fish, aquatic plants, melons and fruits in the water. It has a docile temperament and is quite intelligent.
Those knowledgeable people quickly led out a lot of water apes, all wearing muzzles and having iron chains on their limbs.
These water apes are obviously just ordinary beasts. They have not yet received spiritual energy into their bodies. They only have a little spiritual energy and cannot be called monsters. At most, they are stronger. At this moment, everyone was weak and had no intention of resisting, and their eyes were filled with tears.
"I've been working so hard outside that I finally had two days of rest! You didn't blow anything last night, but the result was just those three or two blows!" A female Qi practitioner in her forties stood at the door with a loud voice, one hand on her hip, and another Pointing at Zhike with one finger, she kept yelling and scolding, "I ordered a water monkey, but in the end, I asked my wife to take three tiger and wolf pills! That's all, you haven't made a difference even after taking the tiger and wolf pills!" She spat at Zhike with Xingzi. One face.
There are actually female cultivators having tea? Lin Bai was greatly shocked.
Zhike was holding an extremely weak water ape by the hand. He also had a helpless expression and said, "Sister Chi Lian, the water ape is really bad. Why don't you wait for me to host you tonight and spend the night with your sister?"< br>
"Bah! Who are you? You still want to sleep with me? Do you really think that you are better than a water ape, and you will be more successful? Shiver, you are not even as good as a dog!" The female cultivator looked contemptuous, and then said He whispered: "I heard that the last one of you caught a sapphire rock donkey..."
"Sister, that's a monster in the late stage of Qi training. Can you afford it?" Na Zhike was also shocked.
Lin Bai's scalp was numb and he didn't dare to listen anymore.
In the past, I heard people talking about Longmenfang in Xinyifang, but I haven’t seen as much as I did in the past two days.
These casual cultivators make a living on Mianlong Mountain. Once they enter the mountain, they need to be focused at all times, with bright eyes, quick hands, and ruthless hearts.
He had to guard against backstabbing by his teammates, and he had to guard against attacks by monsters. Over time, his temperament became more and more different from ordinary people.
Even hobbies are becoming more and more unique.
"Comparing the two, Xinyifang is really a paradise on earth. When Sister Zhen recommended me to Qiaoshan, was she worried that I would not follow Pei Ning's dignified path, but instead follow the crooked path of a monster?"
Lin Bai murmured and came to the lobby on the first floor.
It was now bright and clear, and the whining sounds of monsters and beasts could be heard outside from time to time. There were a few casual cultivators sitting here and there, not talking to each other.
Meals are provided here, but they need to be purchased separately and are not included in the room rate.
Lin Bai always asked about the customs of each place he visited, so he went to the counter to ask about the food.
After chatting with the female cultivator for a while, Lin Bai realized that the food here was rarely bland. It was all the flesh and blood of monsters and beasts, and was the game he caught in Mianlong Mountain.
The sinews and bones of monsters can often be used as utensils, the essence and blood are useful in talismans, and the fur is even more useful. Animal meat is difficult to prepare, and because it contains spiritual energy, it is used as food.
Some are fishy, some are tough, some are tooth-sticky, and some are delicious. It all depends on the kind of monster.
"What's the cheapest today?" Lin Bai kept searching.
"Water ape meat." The female cultivator smiled happily and said: "It contains a little spiritual energy and the meat is strong. Ape whip, both inside and outside the kidneys. I was tired last night, so it's a good time to replenish it in the morning."
The water ape was last night's tea, right? Drink the tea and then eat the tea? Simply outrageous.
Lin Bai rubbed his head, missing the ginger fish soup even more.
At this moment, Lin Bai vaguely felt as if someone was spying on him.
Lin Bai calmly chatted with the female cultivator at the counter, and then casually glanced around. There were only seven or eight people sitting on the first floor, both men and women, and there was no foundation. Most of them are dressed in rough clothes, and some wear hats and veils.
There was nothing familiar about the figure, nor was there anything familiar about the breath.
However, there were still many people in the inn who had not gone out, and Lin Bai was not sure who was looking at him, but he did not notice any malicious intent, so he paid no attention to them and only searched carefully.
"Two whips!" A rough voice came to the cabinet.
"My share will be taken from the water monkey who served Chi Lian's sister last night!" Someone else said anxiously.
It was the bearded man and the short monk whom I had seen last night.
Lin Bai felt more and more headache, but still smiled and said: "Are you two here to buy a whip?"
"That's what I like!" The bearded man looked at Lin Bai and asked, "Do fellow Taoists buy it too?"
"I'm extremely talented and don't need to make up for it." Lin Bai shook his head and said calmly: "The donkeys and horses are not as good as me, let alone a mere water ape."
The bearded man and the short monk looked at each other with disbelief.
However, the female cultivator standing at the counter seemed to be quite interested and asked: "What do you call fellow Taoist?"
"I'm in Xia Lin Zhuan Lun." Lin Bai said frankly.
The female cultivator nodded meaningfully, looked down again, and said: "As the name suggests, can you turn the wheel?"
"The wheel spins like flying." Lin Bai smiled proudly. Seeing the interest of the bearded man and the short monk, he said to them: "This is a secret skill. It was a sister from Jiuyin Mountain who saw that I was very talented. Teach me the secret technique.”
"Jiuyin Mountain? That's really possible." The short monk nodded and looked at Lin Bai carefully. "He looks neat, and he is indeed a seducer."
Lin Bai smiled lightly, left the counter, found a table and sat down, looking like a master. Of course, this level is not the level of cultivation, but the level of ability on the couch.
Sure enough, the two people immediately gathered around, looking itchy.
Finally hooked up.
"My name is Shang Xiaoshui!" said the bearded man.
"I'm still in the sky." The short monk said.
The short one is named Tiangao, and the one with curly beard is named Feminine.
"Nice to meet you." Lin Bai said with a smile.
After chatting for a while, Shang Xiaoshui and Yu Tiangao asked about the secret skills of wheel spinning, but Lin Bai always refused to answer.
After another quarter of an hour, the dishes they ordered were served. After Hululu finished eating, he was very smelly.
At this time, there were gradually more people on the first floor. Most of them were Qi practitioners and casual cultivators. There were many sinister people, and blood was obviously common.
Lin Bai and Shang Yu chatted for a while, and then got a little idea of his character. Shang Xiaoshui was rough and careless, but Yu Tiangao didn't talk much, but when he spoke he talked about important things, and his brain was quite effective.
People who have been in Longmenfang for more than ten years are more or less capable. Don't just look at the appearance. Lin Bai did not dare to underestimate them,
After chatting for a while, Lin Bai couldn't get through it, so he talked a little bit about the secret skills of wheel-turning.
"You mean, you have to use the hot fire stone sand to forge... forging?" Shang Xiaoshui's beard trembled, with a look of disbelief on his face.
Lin Bai nodded.
"Seriously?" Yu Tiangao still didn't believe it.
"Three years is a small revolution, and five years is a major revolution." Lin Bai stretched out his hand and said, "I have achieved a little bit, fellow Taoist, give it a try."
Yu Tiangao hesitated, but Shang Xiaoshui couldn't hold it in anymore. He stretched out his finger and pointed, and a small flame fell on Lin Bai's palm.
The flame lasted for a long time, but Lin Bai didn't even burn the skin on his palm.
"It is tempered by Fire Lin Stone Sand, and there is something wonderful about it." Lin Bai smiled lightly.
Shang Yu and the other two finally believed it.
After chatting for a while, Lin Bai became more familiar with him and heard them talk about the beauty of various monsters.
Lin Bai didn't understand, but he was greatly shocked. "I saw two people cheating last night. I wonder who Yun Zhonghe is? I'm also a little wary." Lin Bai asked casually.
The bearded Shang Xiaoshui was a careless person, so he immediately started pulling.
It turns out that the so-called Yun Zhonghe came to Longmenfang ten days ago, and then searched for someone to sleep in Longshan.
There are many monsters and beasts in Mianlong Mountain. Entering the mountain requires risking your life, so most of them work in teams and few work alone.
The people who form the team are either acquaintances who have known each other for a long time, or they have high-level cultivators to control the formation, otherwise no one would dare to randomly recruit people to form a team.
That Yun Zhonghe was a girl of seventeen or eighteen years old. She looked harmless to humans and animals, simple and ignorant. She would bow to everyone she saw and always smile silly. Judging from his behavior, he must be a disciple of the sect, and he is a good boy who has never been out of the house.
Naturally, no one of this class would dare to look for someone to form a team, for fear of being too much of a burden. And because she is probably a disciple of the sect, this place is not very far from Qiaoshan and Yunxia Sect, so no one dares to bully her openly.
"My brothers took her into the mountains with good intentions, acted as guides, and helped her kill two monsters. But when it was time to sort them out, they were hit by some incense and they both fainted. When they woke up, the storage ring was gone. , All the demonic beasts and spiritual materials were taken away! If my brothers hadn't fought hard for a while and got some things, not to mention the sleeping water ape eating the ape whip, he wouldn't even be able to eat the ape dung!" The bearded Shang Xiaoshui sighed.
"The two of us thought she looked like a disciple of the sect, so we wanted to make friends, but we didn't expect..." Yu Tiangao sighed.
"This person is so vicious!" Lin Bai slapped the table angrily, "Brothers, what does Yun Zhonghe look like? This time I go into the mountain, if I encounter him, I will kill him quickly!"
< br>
The bearded Shang Xiaoshui described it for a long time without saying anything. On the other hand, although Yu Tiangao spoke little, he always hit the point.
Lin Bai can be sure that Yun Zhonghe is indeed Jiang Yatou!
However, Lin Bai didn't believe what Shang Yu said at all. Although Jiang Yatou had a wild temper, she was a child of the Jiang family with strict family rules, and she had never made any mistakes in matters of right and wrong.
Therefore, if the remaining two people are really helping people, and Jiang Yatou is here to look for opportunities, she might be happy to give them some more spiritual stones to thank them for being a guide.
But Jiang Yatou tried to trick people. With her cleverness and intelligence, she must have seen that Shang Yu and the others had ulterior motives, so she punished Xiao Jie slightly.
A person who has never traveled far has actually deceived a casual cultivator who has been practicing for many years. Jiang Yatou is really capable.
"When will you two go into the mountains again? You might as well come together then." Lin Bai made the invitation with a hint of eagerness.
These two people could be tricked by Jiang Yatou, so Lin Bai had a better impression of them because he could also trick them. If they really have bad intentions, they might as well let them suffer another loss.
"Let's go after a while!" Shang Xiaoshui said with a smile.
Yu Tiangao didn't say anything and just nodded.
"That's fine." Lin Bai nodded, "We'll be together then."
After a while, there were more and more casual practitioners here. People gathered together in twos and threes, and most of them chatted about what they had learned from the mountains.
Some bold monks even openly flirted in broad daylight.
However, there are also people who gather information from each other, but they always find a place to talk privately.
Lin Bai is becoming more and more knowledgeable.
After another half an hour, several well-dressed Qi-training monks arrived, who were familiar customers of various shops in Longmenfang.
"Quiet." There was a voice from Zhuji.
As expected, the lobby became quiet, and then the Qi Practitioners from several shops came forward one by one and said that they wanted to buy such and such spiritual materials, such and such monsters, etc.
Most of them are slightly rare and rare things. You don't want to get them, but they are just for the casual cultivators who enter the mountain to keep in mind.
This move is to spread the word to prevent some casual cultivators from getting something and traveling all the way to Xinyifang or Haishifang in the east.
Some shops in Shangxin also make special picture albums to teach people how to identify spiritual materials or monsters, their characteristics, and where they like to be born.
In less than two-quarters of an hour, the customers in these shops left in a hurry, as if they were just going through the motions.
"Fellow Taoists!" After the shopkeepers left, a forty-year-old female Qi practitioner stood up and said angrily: "Who knows the traitor Yun Zhonghe?"
This is the sister Chi Lian who wants to ride the donkey. She has an average appearance and a charming look on her eyebrows.
Lin Bai touched his chin and did not dare to say a word.
"I recognize it!" Shang Xiaoshui slapped the table and stood up, his beard trembling. "Sister Chi Lian, have you been deceived by her too?"
The female cultivator named Chi Lian kept snorting coldly, raising her hands and holding them tightly.
"I just came back from the mountains yesterday, and I know that witch!" An old Taoist stood up and cursed. "I showed her the way with good intentions, but she actually...haha, people's hearts are not as old as they used to be."
Lin Bai looked over and saw that the old Taoist was obviously full of blood, so how could he have the nerve to say, "People's hearts are not ancient?"
"I also met her in the mountains!" A young male cultivator said, "She lied to me about her magic weapon and humiliated me!" The monk bowed in all directions and asked: "Everyone, if anyone knows her whereabouts, please tell me. Let me know below.”
This person is a Qi practitioner, around 20 years old, with fine features and beautiful eyes. The person sitting at the same table with him was a beautiful woman in her thirties, who was obviously a foundation-building monk.
How much evil has Girl Jiang done? Use my name to do bad things?
However, none of these people mentioned the specific incident. Presumably Jiang Yatou did not take action for no reason.
Lin Bai slammed the table angrily, "I will kill these monsters!"
"Fellow Taoist, have you been deceived too?" asked the male Qi practitioner next to the beautiful woman.
"That's not true." Lin Bai said truthfully, "But this person is so vicious. If I go to the mountains in the future, if I meet her, I'm afraid I will be deceived by her!" Lin Bai was very angry, "I, Mr. Lin, hate liars the most. ! ”
As soon as these words came out, no one resonated, but they provoked laughter and boos.
Lin Bai didn't say much.
Many casual cultivators chatted for a long time, saying that after entering the mountain, if they met Yun Zhonghe, they would not let her have an easy time.
The male qi practitioner next to the beautiful woman even offered a reward, which showed that she was really angry.
After the commotion, all the casual cultivators dispersed.
Lin Bai was still searching for the person who was observing him, thinking that Girl Jiang was also there, right?
At this moment, a female cultivator wearing a bamboo hat walked out, came to Lin Bai, sneered, and said: "Then Yun Zhonghe didn't bully you, why are you making such a fuss?"
With a hoarse voice and an ugly face, she threw out a bottle of Qi-nourishing pills and said: "Nurture your Qi well! Don't get angry."
After saying that, he walked directly out.
"Don't leave if you have the guts!" Lin Bai shouted angrily, holding the bottle of Qi-nourishing Pill in his hand, and then followed him.
"Brother Lin, that bitch is trying to lure you out!" Yu Tiangao said.
"That's right!" The bearded Shang Xiaoshui also said.
It was just that the two of them reminded each other without leaving their buttocks.
Lin Bai chased him out of the inn and followed him quickly.
"Sleeping water ape, eating water ape, Taoist friend is getting better and better now." The voice of the woman in the bamboo hat is still hoarse, but her tone is smiling.
"I haven't eaten yet." Lin Bai quickly explained and asked: "Why are you here?"
"Why can't I be here?" The woman still stepped forward and said: "Shang Xiaoshui and Yu Tiangao are not good people. Their surname is Yu Shang. If they meet, they will suffer. Don't get too close to them. , let alone go out with the two of them." She stopped, looked at Lin Bai, and said: "The kindness of the Qi Yang Dan has been paid off."
"You gave me spiritual stones in the past, and the matter of nourishing qi pills has long been over." Lin Bai smiled, "There is no kindness between you and me, only favors."
This woman is none other than Huang Ruhua.
Huang Ruhua bit her lower lip and said, "You are the best at saying nice things and good at confusing people's hearts. Fellow Daoist Xiao Jiang is really right."
"Do you know where she is?" Lin Bai asked curiously.
"She is catching aquatic monkeys for you, and she said she would make your wives and concubines a group." Huang Ruhua smiled.
