Chapter 152 Entering the Valley
Following the original path, Lin Bai looked for a place with tall and dense trees.
The jackdaws kept wailing, and from time to time monks who fled in the air were captured by the jackdaws.
Lin Bai was seeking good fortune and avoiding misfortune, but he no longer felt anything in his heart.
Along the way, he threw away the storage rings obtained from Wang Zhuji of the Qiaoshan Sect and the two disciples of the Tianchi Sect.
Anyway, there is a jackdaw disrupting the situation, and Lin Bai is not afraid of deductions, so there is no need to worry at all, just put it on the old jackdaw's head.
"This fog shadow jackdaw is really cruel!" Lin Bai murmured.
"Who says it's not the case!" Yang Huan chased after him, holding a gourd in one hand and an umbrella in the other, looking up.
I saw a light mist pressing down on the sky, exuding a faint fishy smell.
After a while, the fog became wider and wider. Although it was very thin, it blocked the sunlight and made the woods appear even deeper.
From time to time, wild beasts wail, causing the sound of flying feathers flapping their wings.
"The Mist Shadow Jackdaw finally showed the Mist Shadow magical power." Chun Yutong sighed, "The ground in the mountains is actually peaceful. Ten feet away from the ground, it becomes the death place for the foundation-building monks."
"That's right." Lin Bai looked at Yang Huan and asked, "Fellow Daoist Yang, aren't you going to sharpen your Taoist heart?" He was very serious.
"When we were drinking before, you always called me Sister Huanhuan." Yang Huan changed the subject.
"Sister Huanhuan."
"Brother Yun."
The three of them were all honest and did not dare to use their magical powers. They went back north quickly and slowly, and no one mentioned Gu Feixue's trouble.
I met a lot of people on the road, most of them were from Yunxia Sect and Qiaoshan sects, there were also some casual cultivators, and few from Jiuyin Mountain.
Most of them were trembling, obviously frightened.
It can be seen that no matter how arrogant they are outside, they really dare to give up when encountering trouble.
After four days of grinding, Lin Bai and others finally left Mianlong Mountain.
Seeing the light of day, all three of them felt like they were surviving a disaster.
Looking back, I saw Mianlong Mountain covered with mist covering a radius of a hundred miles, which seemed to hide countless murderous intentions.
The people stationed at the station came to welcome them, and Yang Huan and Chun Yutong were taken away by the Yang family.
Gu Feixue's killing of Lao Yu was witnessed by many people, and it was impossible to hide it.
As a witness, Lin Bai was also taken back by Gu Fang for further questioning.
Arrive at the Gu family residence of the Qiaoshan sect and check into a large tent.
Sitting cross-legged on it was an old cultivator named Gu Jinzhen. He was a Jindan cultivator with a big beard.
There was also Gu Fang and an old female cultivator who was building a foundation.
"Senior, Sister Fang, you know that I have always been honest..."
"Oh, I was supposed to lead the way into the old bird forest. I tried to persuade her again and again, but Senior Sister Gu stepped on the bird droppings and disliked it because it was too dirty, so she insisted on walking in the air. As a result, she attracted the foundation-building old bird."
< br>
"I'm not good at fighting, so I hurried back to look for reinforcements. I happened to see Senior Sister Yang Huan and Chunyu Daoist, so I invited them to help."
"I fought hard and tried my best to finally take down the foundation-building bird. But I didn't expect that the fog shadow jackdaw flew from the south... The jackdaw was fierce and stared at Senior Sister Gu to kill me. Later, Senior Brother Gu Feng lost me He took out the talisman and blocked the blow. When the smoke cleared, they were both gone."
Lin Bai bowed first and then talked nonchalantly without telling any lies.
Gu Jinzhen closed his eyes and stroked his beard, and remained silent for a long time.
Lin Bai then looked at Gu Fang, sighed, and asked, "Sister Fang, are Senior Sister Gu Feixue and Senior Brother Gu Feng okay now?"
"The soul lamp has not been extinguished." Gu Fang also looked ugly.
"That's good." Lin Bai breathed a sigh of relief and asked: "Where is Zhu Jianyang?"
"He's not dead either," Gu Fang said.
Lin Bai was really relieved now, and quickly took out the old bird's body, "This is what Senior Sister Gu got. It was sent to me temporarily and will be returned now."
Gu Fang nodded and said comfortingly: "Just go and have a rest."
Lin Bai bowed and went back to his tent.
Before arriving, Yang Shu was already waiting.
"Feixue..." Yang Shu asked nervously.
Lin Bai sighed, shook his head and entered the account.
Yang Shu's eyes were blank and he was in a daze for a long time. He went into the tent and grabbed Lin Bai.
"Really dead?" Yang Shu's eyes were blood red and tears were about to fall.
"No." Lin Bai smiled, "I shake my head to mean that I am not dead."
Yang Shu sat down on the ground and breathed a sigh of relief.
Lin Bai also sat down, but before his butt was warm, people from all walks of life came to ask.
This matter cannot be hidden, and the jackdaw's killing was so fierce that all sects and factions were harmed.
People from the Huaqing family came to ask, people from the Shang family came to ask, and the Jiang family also came to inquire. Even people from Jiuyin Mountain came to ask, and she was still a coquettish woman.
Later, people from the Yunxia Sect came to ask, which was really lively.
Lin Bai has always been honest and candid, but if he asks questions, he will answer them without hiding anything.
Of course, I also got a lot of tea and elixirs. The female cultivator from Jiuyin Mountain was even more generous. Lin Bai replied that she would take off one piece of clothing. In the end, Lin Bai had no choice but to go and talk to her outside the tent, thus preserving his innocence.
"Have you ever seen my Qiaoshan sect, Wang Ping?" An old foundation-building cultivator from the Qiaoshan sect came to the door.
"May I ask who Wang Ping is?" Lin Bai was puzzled, "I only know a few Taoist friends from the Gu and Yang families."
"Wang Ping is the direct descendant of the head master." The old cultivator said coldly, took out a scroll and threw it out.
The head of Qiaoshan Sect is actually the head of general affairs, named Yue Fengshu, who cultivated in the late Jindan period. Although the Supreme Master has an overview of the overall situation of Qiaoshan, he still has to meditate in retreat and rarely deals with general affairs, so there is a General Affairs Master.
However, although he is the head of general affairs, his power is not small. The prime minister of Qiaoshan Jindan sect, who regulates yin and yang, is the number one figure under Qiaoshan Yuanying.
This Yue Fengshu is the direct descendant of the Supreme Master, and he also has three direct disciples.
Lin Bai opened the scroll and saw a handsome young man.
It looked very familiar, as if it had turned into ashes. Lin Bai looked at the portrait carefully and thought carefully.
"Have you ever seen it?" Old Xiu asked with a frown.
"Well..." Lin Bai touched his chin.
The old cultivator stared at Lin Bai, and finally took out a bottle of elixir impatiently, "My Qiaoshan Sect's Yujing Dan can cure hundreds of poisons."
Lin Bai immediately stopped and said: "It was too hasty to escape at that time, but I have never seen this senior brother Wang from your sect."
Rolling up the portrait and returning it with both hands, Lin Bai said perfunctorily: "Senior Brother Wang must be so blessed that he can escape from the claws of the jackdaws."
"It's dead! All the lights are out!" The old repairman put away the portrait and left the tent angrily.
"This man is really rude. Even if someone in your family dies, it has nothing to do with me. Why are you yelling at me?" Lin Bai felt particularly aggrieved.
After another two days, Lin Bai never mentioned going to the mountain again, and just drank and had fun with the Yang family siblings all day long. Gu Fang didn't come to urge him. After all, going into the mountains meant risking one's life.
After five or six days of this, Lin Bai thought to himself that he might as well go back to his hometown and rest. Go back and spar with Sister Pei, then eat some fruits and amuse the apprentice.
"Don't be anxious, wait first." When I mentioned it to Gu Fang, she refused to let him go. Lin Bai had no choice but to drink every night and practice during the day.
A month has passed in a hurry, and the fog on Mianlong Mountain has not dispersed, but the aggressiveness of the jackdaws has subsided a little.
The three major sects and their affiliates also came in and out of Mianlong Mountain from time to time, and gradually realized that as long as they didn't fly in the air, it wouldn't be a big deal. There are places with tall forests and steep canyons where you can use your magical powers without any hindrance.
If a jackdaw happens to fly over your head, just hold back your breath. As long as there is no provocation and the energy is not locked, there is usually no danger.
To put it bluntly, high altitudes are the territory of jackdaws, and flying is prohibited.
Some people blamed Gu Feixue for this matter, while others said it was the fox's order. Anyway, it was very noisy. Fewer and fewer people from the three sects entered the mountain, and the roar of waves came from the Jiuyin Mountain every day, which made the Qiaoshan Sect and Yunxia Sect disciples have wild imaginations.
That evening, with the full moon half-covered and the wind rustling, Yang Huan came to visit with wine.
In fact, she came every day, but after Lin Bai finished drinking the monkey wine, she came less often. This is the life of Jiu Mengzi.
Yang Huan poured the wine he brought with him and drank a dozen glasses before asking about Houer wine again.
In fact, she had asked several times where she got the monkey wine. Although Lin Bai had never been there, he had asked Huang Ruhua and knew the approximate location, but he could not tell her.
"There has been a lot of peace in the mountains recently, and the jackdaws have become familiar with their temperament. I plan to go into the mountains again to have a look." Yang Huan held the wine gourd, very seriously, "I feel in my heart that I will gain something this time." She raised her hands With wine-red cheeks, he whispered: "Brother Yun Xian, I have always admired your ability to drink and made you my close friend. What do you think? Do you dare to follow me into the mountains to pursue that great opportunity?"
I'm here to fool you again. Do you think I'm stupid? Still looking for a chance? Want to go to a bar?
"Sister Huanhuan will go and find Chun Yutong." Lin Bai smiled.
"He went into the mountains with Yang Bing, and I don't know when he will come back." Yang Huan sighed.
"So that's it." Lin Bai pondered for a moment and then said: "Actually, there is something I didn't tell you. The last time I got wine from the territory of the monkeys, I had already exhausted all the fishing grounds and destroyed all the places where they brewed wine. If I want to get it again, I’m afraid I’ll have to wait ten or eight years for Monkey Wine.”
Yang Huan was stunned.
After a long time, Yang Huan took a few big sips and wiped her mouth casually. She was very angry and even more aggrieved. "People say that the predecessors planted trees for future generations to enjoy the shade. It doesn't matter if you don't plant trees, other people's The trees were cut down too? Why did you smash the pot after eating?" She was furious.
"Let's not talk about this for now." Lin Bai waved his hand and asked: "Sister Huanhuan, when will you enter the mountain? I will follow Jiwei then!"
Lin Bai picked up the wine bowl.
"No more." Yang Huan snatched Lin Bai's wine bowl. She drank it all, patted her butt, dropped the wine bowl, and walked away.
This is the ruthlessness of an alcoholic.
Yang Huan was angry and Lin Bai sat down to practice meditation.
Three days later, Gu Fang sent someone to invite Lin Bai to talk.
There is no choice but to go. When they arrived at Gu Fang's tent, the old Jindan cultivator Gu Jinzhen was also there.
After bowing, Lin Bai didn't say a word, thinking that something must be wrong.
"That old man got a lot of things from him last time, and they should be yours. I'll replenish them for you later." Gu Fang first asked Lin Bai to sit down, and then poured some fragrant tea.
It's been more than a month and you just remembered this? Lin Bai immediately understood that the person who came was not good and would definitely want something.
Sure enough, without waiting for Lin Bai to refuse, Gu Fang said again: "The benefits are indispensable to you." After she finished talking, she got down to business, "You have been resting here for more than a month, why not go to the mountain again and look for something?" Looking for flying snow.”
Gu Feixue was the darling of the Gu family, but he was also a troublemaker, so Lin Bai didn't want to deal with it.
"Sister Fang, it's not because I don't want to. It's just that you have gone to several groups, and they can't find it. How can I find it?" Lin Bai declined, and then said: "Besides, given Senior Sister Gu's temperament, Even if I find her, I will never be able to bring her back.”
"All you need to do is find her." Gu Fang took out a letter, "Give her the letter and she will answer it."
Gu Fang took out another small bell and explained the beauty of it in detail.
It turns out that the bell is called Yan Gui Ling, the one held by Lin Bai is called Yan, and the one held by Gu Feixue is called Nest. As long as the two are within ten miles, there will be a sound.
I haven't agreed yet? Lin Bai didn't know what to say, the Gu family was too strong.
"This..." Lin Bai sighed, "I am just an alchemist. I can't carry it on my shoulders or raise my hands. I don't even dare to kill a chicken. I was frightened in the mountains before, and I really don't dare to go into the mountains again."< br>
"If you can find her, my family will allow you to make a condition." Gu Jinzhen suddenly said.
The conditions of the Yuanying family! If you value Gu Feixue so much, why do you let her go out to hang out?
Yes, when Jin Dan spoke, Lin Bai really didn't dare not show his face.
"That being the case, how dare I, Yun Zhonghe, not fight to the death?" Lin Bai responded resolutely, saying that he could handle it, and everyone looked good.
Putting the bell on his wrist, Lin Bai asked again: "Then who should I follow?"
"Most of the manpower is in the mountains now. If you meet my Gu family, you can come with me." Gu Fang said.
Co-authored or just me? Lin Bai had no choice but to chat for a few more words before saying goodbye and leaving.
Now that we are in the mountains, we might as well do something else.
Lin Bai went to the Tianchi station to look for Gai Qiuyan and Yao Qianchi, but found no one. They were still in the mountains.
"I'm going to the mountain tomorrow. I just hope to meet two senior brothers." Lin Bai shouted a few words and went back to rest.
After a while, the Yang siblings came after smelling the smell.
Ever since Yang Huan heard about Lin Bai's incident of smashing the pot while eating, he had less contact with Lin Bai. Coming here this time is probably not a good thing.
"Brother, do you want to go into the mountains?" Yang Shu took Lin Bai's hand with great enthusiasm.
Why did it spread so quickly? Lin Bai could only nod.
"Okay! It's good to go into the mountains!" Yang Shu quickly poured wine, "If she encounters flying snow, please ask me to persuade her to come back."
"That's natural." Lin Bai agreed immediately, not daring to look at Yang Huan, for fear that she would follow and ruin his affairs.
After talking for a long time, the Yang family siblings left.
But after a while, Yang Huan came again.
"Are you still going to get some wine?" Yang Huan asked.
"It's really gone." Lin Bai wanted to stay in that cave for a few days during his trip, and by the way, he would trick a few people from the Tianchi Sect and just hang out.
"Swear." Yang Huan seemed to be prepared, "Just say, if the monkey wine is really gone, you will never drink alcohol, never sleep with women, and never get wet with bird droppings." She added seriously. , "Swear on your own life. Come on!"
This stinky drunkard is so cruel! Lin Bai remained silent.
"Let's go together! Let's go into the mountains together!" Yang Huan grabbed Lin Bai's sleeve and smiled coquettishly.
Lin Bai still didn't say anything, and Yang Huan didn't even leave, but kept saying nice things.
There's nothing you can do about it. If you're drunk and drunk, you'll be shameless and forcefully insist on it. Lin Bai had to make a three-part agreement with her: she was not allowed to drink alcohol when entering the mountain, she was not allowed to act without permission, and she had to obey orders.
In the morning of the next day, Lin Bai and Yang Huan went into the mountain hand in hand.
While walking through the mountains and forests, he met people from time to time. Lin Bai asked about the whereabouts of Zhu Jianyang and Gu Feixue, but no one knew about them.
After three days of this, the two of them walked around the old osprey forest and came to the foot of the waterfall.
Lin Bai asked Yang Huan to stay behind as an excuse to investigate, and he went to the cave where he had sex with Jiang Yatou in the past.
The storage ring was still there, but Lin Bai only took out the talisman inside.
After meeting Yang Huan, the two continued southward.
He walked crookedly, trying to avoid the monsters. This place has gone more than a hundred miles deep into Mianlong Mountain and is becoming increasingly sparsely populated.
In the past, Lin Bai came here with Huang Ruhua, but today there was a different person beside him.
Not long after, we saw a valley, which was the former residence of Huang Ruhua's master and apprentice.
At that time, there were calamity clouds outside the sky, beasts roared and birds chirped, and the heaven and earth were silent. Nowadays, things have changed and people are nowhere to be seen.
