Chapter 58 Ambush on the way
After Master Huang Xian left, Lin Shan took out the Cold Iron Sword and concentrated on refining it.
Sacrifice can be divided into blood sacrifice and soul sacrifice. Blood sacrifice can improve power and physical body compatibility, while soul sacrifice can improve soul control. Both have their own advantages and disadvantages, so it doesn't matter which one you choose.
Lin Shan naturally uses soul sacrifice. The advantage is that the accuracy of the sword energy is high, and it is not easy to be taken away by other monks with strong spiritual consciousness during the battle.
Now because his spiritual consciousness cannot leave the body during the Qi training period, he can only fight the enemy with a sword.
Only after the foundation building period, when the spiritual consciousness is released, can one control the flying sword to kill enemies in the air, and even fly with the sword to enter and exit Qingming.
……
Three days later, Lin Shan had almost finished refining the Cold Iron Sword Sacrifice, so he left the headquarters and went outside to see if there was any ancient charm in the capital that could be missed.
First, I went shopping in the antique street, but it turned out that most of them were fakes, and I didn’t find any antiques at all.
Lin Shan couldn't help but ask several stall owners if they had seen anything like the Black Lotus Buddha statue. After all, in his impression, the probability of offering incense and willingness is greater.
It turned out that there was actually a stall owner who said he had met him a long time ago.
But since a year ago, the Song Dynasty court personally ordered various places to trace the movements of the Black Lotus Sect. All black lotus Buddha statues will be destroyed. Anyone who worships privately will be directly punished as a crime!
Lin Shan was dumbfounded now.
He originally gathered the Nightingale's wool, and also wanted to gather the Black Lotus Sect, but now due to the severe crackdown in the entire Song Dynasty, the Black Lotus Buddha statues have been destroyed!
This seems to be the instruction of the immortal cultivation sect behind Lei Zhenzi.
As for the people who can't find it, why don't they go find someone from the Black Lotus Sect?
At least Lin Shan is not so stubborn now.
The Black Lotus Messenger from Yelang Tomb that day used a high-level magic weapon, the Soul Wooden Fish, which could compete with Lei Zhenzi, and at worst could also be used to build a foundation. That's just a messenger!
Who knows if there are any elders like the Holy Son Cult Leader above, but my cultivation during this Qi training period was just looking for death.
In desperation, Lin Shan had no choice but to go to the antique shop to take a look.
But when I went to an antique store, I discovered that there were still no antiques with ancient charm.
Lin Shan couldn't sit still anymore, and asked the shopkeeper if there were any antiques with a rich cultural heritage and a long history.
The shopkeeper was sincere and explained patiently to Lin Shan directly.
The imperial capital of the Song Dynasty gathered a large number of powerful people, and there were more than a dozen princes alone. Generally, there are calligraphy books of famous paintings that are hundreds of years old. They have long been bought and treasured by those in power. How can they still be traded among the people?
What's more, half of the treasures of the Song Dynasty are not destined to be presented to the imperial palace!
Lin Shan now understood a little bit, and he took it for granted. After all, in his previous life before time travel, there were antiques in the exhibition hall. He thought that antiques were easy to see outside.
But in fact, in this world where the jungle prevails, famous antiques must be in the hands of the rich and powerful, and it is difficult for the public to see them.
Now Lin Shan is in trouble, the palace? He really didn't dare to go there because there were monks in the foundation-building stage stationed there.
The palace? Basically, there are immortal cultivators worshiping them, and I will definitely be able to sense them as soon as I enter the house.
If a fight breaks out, the capital is so big, and every immortal cultivator has his own small circle. If you provoke one yourself and attract a group of immortal cultivators, you will be in trouble.
"I'm still not strong enough. If I were in the foundation building stage now, and I came directly to the door and asked for it, who would dare not to give it to me?" Lin Shan said bitterly in his heart.
"When we go to Yichuan, we must improve our strength as soon as possible. The antiques cannot escape here, and they will come back sooner or later to harvest them!"
Lin Shan secretly made up his mind. The only thing that made him happy was that Nightingale still had a big wool waiting for him.
As long as he waits half a year for the Nightingale Tokens from all over the Song Dynasty to be collected, his ancient charm will definitely gain a lot!
Next, Lin Shan returned to the Bowang Houfu Nightingale headquarters and stopped hanging around.
Practice meditation with peace of mind and wait for your trip to Yichuan.
……
Ten days later, Lin Shan and Master Huang Xian arrived at the outer suburbs of Beicheng and met up with the black-robed Taoist nun and other four people waiting here.
The six of them rode a carriage together, mixed in with a caravan, and started to set off.
The carriage and caravan were all arranged by the woman in the bamboo hat who was in the early stages of Qi training in the circle of six. This woman initially introduced herself as the daughter of Duke Qi. She thought she had great power in the world, so these were just trivial matters.
Before Lin Shan left, the Supreme Elder also collected all the Nightingale tokens from the capital for him. He gained a total of 3 points of ancient charm, and Lin Shan thanked him repeatedly. The Supreme Elder gave him another Elder Token and claimed that if something happened in the field in the future, he could mobilize Nightingale manpower from various places.
Lin Shan put it away. Although he did not plan to stay in the world now, he might need it in the future. As for Protector Jiang, he took a look before leaving. This kid had recently become an innate elder and was busy fighting for power with his old rival. Without the support of Huang Xianshi, the two were evenly matched.
Lin Shan smiled casually and helped him pick out the Huangxian Master. Since he didn't owe him anything, he didn't bother him anymore.
……
This trip to Yichuan is thousands of miles away.
The territory of the Song Dynasty was vast, with a Luosong Mountain Range running through the north and south in the middle, dividing the country into east and west parts.
The imperial capital Bianliang is located on the west side of the Luosong Mountains.
The carriage caravan followed the route, first exited Dongmenguan on the right, and then headed north to Daming Mansion. After walking around for more than ten days, we finally arrived at the foot of the Yanyun Mountains in the northeast.
The six people abandoned the carriage and walked into the mountain path.
Next, we have to travel through thousands of miles of mountains and forests, and there are even monsters entrenched in some places along the way. There may even be monks seeking wealth and murder, blocking the road and robbing.
The mountain road along the way is rugged and the ancient trees are towering like swords reaching into the sky. Dappled sunlight shines through the gaps, swaying left and right with the branches and leaves in the breeze.
The six of them were talking and laughing, and the atmosphere was extremely warm.
Lin Shan also got a general understanding of Yan Yun's background through introductions from people around him.
The Yanyun Mountains were the barrier to the northern border of the Song Dynasty, stretching for thousands of miles. Further north was the Yan Dynasty.
Because Yichuanfang City is located at the junction of the Song Dynasty and Yan Dynasty, monks from the Dayan cultivation world will also travel to and from Yichuan. Therefore, there are many disputes around Yichuanfang City, and there are many monks fighting.
Along the way, while everyone was chatting and laughing with each other, they were also vaguely divided into four factions.
Lin Shan and Master Huang Xian were close to each other, the black-robed Taoist nun and the woman in the bamboo hat walked very close to each other, while the remaining green-robed old man and the hook-nosed man walked to one side.
……
After two days of trekking through mountains and rivers, the six of them were walking along a mountain stream with lush trees and bushes on both sides. The gurgling stream is accompanied by the chirping of birds, which is quite interesting.
Continuous walking on mountain roads is no problem for cultivators, and they are still in high spirits.
Lin Shan washed his face with the stream water by the stream. He was feeling the refreshing feeling in the mountains. Suddenly, through the reflection of the water, he saw the shadows of arrows flying far in the sky, and his pupils could not help but shrink.
He looked up instantly and saw dozens of blue water arrows shooting out from the woods opposite and flying toward him!
"Water Archery!"
"No, it's a monk!"
"Flash!"
……
A series of exclamations came from behind. Lin Shan hurriedly dodged to the side, and used the wind blade technique to scatter some that he couldn't avoid.
At this time, the ground suddenly became soft, and there was a faint suction force, which seemed to sink the feet.
Lin Shan quickly looked at his feet. The soil by the stream was turning into sand piece by piece.
"Quicksand!"
"There are earth monks ambushing you!"
"Spread out!"
……
Lin Shan followed his words and jumped onto the big bluestone in the stream. At this time, the woods on the opposite side not only continued to use water arrows, but also shot out ice picks one after another!
Ice cone technique! This is already the third ambusher to appear!
At the same time, on the other side of the woods behind them, quicksand spells, ground stab spells, fireball spells, and vine spells were attacking one after another. Everyone was rushing to resist, and no one could care about it for a while!
