Chapter 184: The Power of the Ghost Whip in Phoenix Valley
In the blink of an eye.
A few more days passed.
The news spread like wildfire that the river god has entered the sea and that the lake will usher in ten years of peace.
Of course, the old shopkeeper helped.
There are also vigorous publicity efforts by fishermen on the lakeside.
I drove the boat into the lake for several days in a row. Not only did I not encounter wind and waves, nor did the boat capsize or kill anyone, but I returned home with a full load every time I set out.
The big fish in Fuxian Lake that I haven’t seen in a few years.
Appeared in the city again.
Then one to ten and one to one hundred.
This incident immediately caused a sensation in the whole city.
Be cautious.
When they left the city and rushed to the lake, they saw the crowds of boats rushing to the lake to fish at the port. There was no trace of surprise at the bustling scene.
Unfortunately, I heard that the river god crossed the lake and entered the sea to rush to the Dragon Palace, and he was not allowed to worship the god in the past few years.
Otherwise, you can get a glimpse of the excitement of past years.
Outside the restaurant.
The old shopkeeper leaned against the door, his face full of reluctance.
It is not easy for me to meet fellow villagers in a remote place like southern Yunnan. After getting along with each other for the past few days, this young man has a natural and convincing temperament.
His knowledge shocked him even more.
The astronomy, geography, and folk customs are so different that they almost all come out of your mouth.
If it were placed thirty years ago.
Maybe he gritted his teeth, left his family business behind, and went up the mountain with Chen Yulou.
"Old shopkeeper, Chen said goodbye. If I have a chance to pass by Chenjiazhuang in the future, I will not get drunk without stopping!"
Chen Yulou hugged his fists towards him.
In the past few days, the old shopkeeper has been busy and put a lot of thought into the affairs of the River God.
If it weren't for him, this matter wouldn't have ended so easily.
"Definitely!"
"Mr. Chen invites me, how can I not go, old man."
The old shopkeeper nodded heavily.
Just.
Why doesn't he understand?
Nowadays, the world is becoming more and more chaotic day by day. Coupled with his age and the difficulty of making a living in a restaurant, passing through Xiangyin is almost impossible.
"Perhaps, Chen will come back one day, and maybe he will come in to ask for a drink. Don't forget the old shopkeeper."
Look at the sadness in his eyes. color.
How could Chen Yulou not see what the old shopkeeper was thinking.
He immediately changed the subject and joked.
He has a ten-year agreement with Zhou Jiao, and he will definitely return to Fuxian Lake in the future to protect the formation for him.
And.
Said it was ten years.
If Zhou Jiao understood quickly, it might not even take ten years, six or seven years would be enough.
"I must not forget it."
"If Mr. Chen comes again, I will definitely sweep up the couch to welcome you."
Perhaps I was infected by his emotions.
The old shopkeeper couldn't help but grinned.
"Old shopkeeper, say goodbye!"
Chen Yulou cupped his hands, smiled loudly, and got on his horse as he spoke.
"Okay, the old man wishes Mr. Chen a safe journey."
"Thank you..."
Chen Yulou said hello without further delay.
The guys, who had been waiting for a long time, immediately rode away.
The sound of horse hooves echoed on the ancient road of Jianshui City.
On this trip, they will start from Jianshui City, cross Fuxian Lake, pass through Mile County, Shizong County, pass through Mengzi Road and Central Yunnan Road, and finally enter the junction of Yunnan and Guizhou.
It is different from when I came with countless loads.
On the way back, apart from the utensils taken from King Xian’s tomb, we only had water and food, so it was considered a light journey.
In order to return to Chenjiazhuang as soon as possible.
Chen Yulou will naturally not take the water route again.
Otherwise, it would take another month to ferry all the way.
However, at this time, southern Yunnan is about to usher in the rainy season, and the road is rugged, with mostly uninhabited mountains and old forests. Forcibly crossing the mountain road is actually taking a risk.
So, for this trip, he specially dug out the map last night and studied it for a long time.
This is how a relatively perfect route was designed.
The sound of horse hooves rose into the sky.
The group of people left quickly like smoke.
After a while, the old shopkeeper finally came to his senses, staggered a few steps forward, and pursed his lips to say something.
But when the words came to his lips, he looked at the horse team that was about to disappear from sight, hesitated, and finally shook his head and swallowed the words.
“Shopkeeper, is there anything else that I haven’t told you yet? I’d rather go chase Mr. Chen and the others.”
The guy on the side couldn't help but said when he saw this.
“Nothing.”
The old shopkeeper waved his hand, a complex look reflected in his old eyes.
"I just forgot to ask, Mr. Chen has never passed through Jialing Road. If he has, please send me a family letter."
"This is a big deal, shopkeeper, Mr. Chen and the others I shouldn’t have left the city yet, should I go now?”
"No need..."
Seeing the eager look on the waiter's face, the old shopkeeper's restless thoughts calmed down.
“How many years have passed, people from my father’s generation have been coming to southern Yunnan. Even if there are people in the same sect, they have probably moved away long ago due to the war and chaos these days.”
He said it euphemistically.
In the Beichuan Road area, most of our ancestors migrated there from Huguang.
Countless people travel south and north to do business, far away from home.
If this were the case, it would be a good thing. I am afraid that the warlords would fight, bandits would be rampant, and those people from the same clan and hometown would have lost their roots.
When his father was still alive.
As long as he met Han people on the Tea Horse Road, he would always ask them to send a letter to find out information, but until he closed his eyes, he could not wait for a reply.
He is old now.
In fact, there is not much hope left in my heart.
It’s just a thought.
I always think that one day I can go back and take a look.
"This..."
The guys looked at each other in confusion.
They are young and do not understand the weight of the words "homeland is hard to leave".
"Let's go back. Business has been good these days, and the old customers are slowly coming back. You have to serve me."
He warned.
The old shopkeeper walked slowly into the restaurant with his hands behind his back.
He was still mumbling something.
He could only hear it when he got closer. He was obviously annoyed that he forgot to ask again when Mr. Chen would be back.
Don’t take too long.
Otherwise, he doesn’t even know if he can survive until that time with his old bones.
The other side.
After leaving the city.
Chen Yulou and his party walked along the southern foot of Fuxian Lake and around the lake.
We rode very fast all the way without daring to stop. It took us several hours to cross Beacon Mountain and reach the boundary mountain between Fuxian Lake and Xinghai.
During this period, they stayed in Jianshui City for almost six or seven days.
View the lake almost every day.
I thought I already understood the vastness of the water area.
It wasn't until I took a trip around the lake today that I realized why the mountain people in the city call Fuxian Lake Chenghai and Xingyun Lake Xinghai.
In southern Yunnan with endless mountains.
Facing such a big swamp, the mountain people who have never seen the sea in their lives seem to have no problem naming it after the word Haizi.
Tima walked through the boundary mountain.
The water in the lake on both sides was floating in the wind, and it felt cool on his face, giving him the feeling of walking through the sea of stars and the Milky Way.
Separated by a mountain and connected by a lake.
Fuxian Lake is a vast expanse of glaze, and Xingyun Lake is filled with twinkling stars.
It is really a rare spectacle in the world.
Even he subconsciously tightened the reins in his hands. The dragon horse beneath him was very humane. He noticed his thoughts and immediately slowed down.
Hua Ling and Miss Hong behind her, especially the two girls, their beautiful eyes were filled with wonder.
The day before yesterday, a few people took advantage of the clear sky and took a boat trip to the lake.
In the past two months in southern Yunnan, I have seen many lakes and swamps, but few are as beautiful as Fuxian and Xinghai.
Even the big guys on the mountain are immersed in the spectacular scenery at this moment. I don’t know how long it will take.
The team just started again.
Passing through Maitreya and Luxi one after another, they finally arrived at Shizong before nightfall. However, Chen Yulou did not choose to enter the city, but camped in Phoenix Valley.
The dry food they brought from Jianshui was almost enough for their trip of three or four days.
There is no need to enter the city for supplies.
In addition, if you want to enter the city, you have to travel at night.
Not to mention the boundaries of barbarians along the way, the deep mountains and forests are full of dangers, which can easily lead to trouble.
Had a simple meal.
The guys went to rest early.
Chen Yulou did not arrange for anyone to keep vigil at night. Someone was sitting on the ground beside the burning bonfire, holding a long whip in his hand.
Surprisingly, it was the ghost whip brought back from Jiaolong Water Mansion.
At this moment, the flames rose, reflecting the golden light on the long whip.
You can still faintly see the intertwined and floating inscriptions.
“唳——”
Luofu, who was standing on his shoulder, was also looking at the ghost whip.
There was obviously some curiosity in his eyes.
Since that day when I swallowed the flesh and blood of the suppressed dragon under the sutra building, except for that day when I went fishing for a big dragon in the lake, I took it with me just in case.
Most of the rest of the time, it is digesting demon power and practicing.
So, this is the first time Luofu has seen the whole picture of the Ghost Whip.
However.
The dragon is worthy of being the existence closest to the dragon genus.
Although the black dragon is not as good as the Zhou Jiao, its energy and blood are equally powerful, especially when Luofu swallows essence and blood.
Now I am back in retreat.
The momentum has obviously improved again.
Seeing it practicing like drinking water, even Chen Yulou couldn't help but feel a little envious.
He is working so hard, working so hard, and not daring to rest even a day, and now he is still at the peak of the Hearthfire Realm.
But Luofu...
Although the practice of monsters is extremely vague, it is not as clear-cut as the practice of Taoism.
However, judging from the monsters he encountered.
The six-winged centipede can probably be used as a watershed, and the Fuxian Lake old dragon can be used as another boundary.
With the strength Luofu is showing now.
It has far surpassed the six-winged centipede of that day.
But there should still be a slight gap between... Zhou Jiao.
It is normal to think about it. After all, Zhou Jiao has been practicing for many years, and he has been king in Fuxian Lake for more than a thousand years.
It only took a few months for Luofu to realize his spiritual enlightenment.
With such a speed of cultivation, it is no wonder that he is jealous.
But there is no way. The natural phoenix breeds and the self-generated fire is equivalent to taking the step of casting the furnace. The monster's flesh and blood can be refined by itself as soon as it enters the belly.
Both are demons.
Yuan Hong also swallowed the dragon's flesh and blood that day.
But I almost never saw it showing up along the way. I practiced and tempered it almost day and night, and I was able to refine it three to four times out of ten.
This is because he devoured the remains of the mandrill.
Otherwise, in the past, it was considered rare to be able to refine one or two tenths of it with its ape bloodline.
He looked away from the ghost whip.
Chen Yulou glanced at the colorful feathers behind Luofu.
The phoenix mirror like an eye has become more real and spiritual, and the second phoenix feather has slowly grown.
As for the golden light between the eyebrows.
It is floating slightly, not as amazing as before.
The phoenix feathers represent cultivation, and the golden light under the eyebrows is closely related to the thickness and thinness of the awakened ancestral blood.
This does not mean that the ancestral blood is thin, but it just shows that Luofu has reached an unimaginable situation in controlling the bloodline.
At this moment, it is looking forward to it.
It has become more and more like a divine bird.
“What, want to try it?”
Chen Yulou gently waved the ghost whip and suddenly smiled.
Luofu's eyes lit up.
Seeing this situation, how can he delay? The most amazing thing about Luofu is its speed. It is perfect to use it to test the ghost whip.
“Let’s go, find an open place.”
Although it has not been dark for long now.
But after running around for a day, everyone was exhausted. At this moment, heavy breathing could be heard in the camp.
Even the partridge whistle, which has always been diligent.
After meditating briefly for two weeks, I fell asleep.
The momentum will definitely be huge in the future.
Chen Yu thought for a while downstairs, but still stood up and walked up, almost without using the magic walking method, his body was like a blue smoke, walking through the mountains and forests.
Phoenix Valley is named after the entire valley looks like a phoenix with its wings spread.
The campground is at the entrance.
At this moment, Chen Yulou headed straight into the valley.
We didn’t stop until we reached the depths of the rift valley.
According to the records on the map, there is an old Zhuang village on the other side of Phoenix Valley, and most of the mountain people make a living by hunting.
When he arrived at night, he asked people to explore the road, and it was indeed like a map.
But... it is not a village.
But there are two buildings facing each other across the river.
Putting away his thoughts, Chen Yulou raised his head and looked around.
Although the silver moon is in the sky tonight, the faint moonlight is difficult to illuminate the darkness in the valley, especially when it is shrouded in fog, making it even more silent.
However, both he and Luofu have far better eyesight than ordinary people.
Such a secluded place is even better.
“Come on, Luofu, I won’t hold back.”
Glancing at Luofu, which was lying on a large bluestone in the valley not far behind him, Chen Yulou grinned.
While talking.
With a flick of his wrist, the heavily wrapped ghost whip instantly turned into a ray of golden light and flew straight towards the big blue stone.
“唳——”
Luofu raised his head and let out a low cry.
Knowing that its master was powerful, it did not dare to despise him at all. It spread its wings and disappeared in an instant.
Bang!
Almost as soon as it left.
The ghost-beating whip was fiercely pulled out from the mist. Countless cracks appeared on the bluestone that was as tall as a person, and crackling sounds were heard.
The next moment, the entire bluestone was shattered into countless pieces.
Then.
The long whip is put away.
Soared into the sky again.
It was obviously heading towards Luofu who was hidden in the mist in mid-air.
See this situation.
The solemn look in Luofu's eyes became even stronger.
The golden light hidden under the eyebrows emerged, and the figure suddenly became more amazing, as if teleporting, appearing several meters away in the next second.
It seemed that he sensed the demonic aura in it.
Thirteen inscriptions on the ghost whip appeared one by one.
Chen Yulou didn't need to use his spiritual consciousness to track down the ghosts and monsters on his own, like a maggot attached to a bone, as fast as lightning.
Bang bang bang bang!
Wherever the golden whip passes.
The terrifying sound of breaking through the air continued one after another.
Luofu's eyes were so solemn that he could hardly get rid of them. He felt like he was being chased by the corpse cave in Xianwangxuan Palace that day.
One color and one gold, two streams of light like fire, flickering in the mist.
It’s so fast.
Even Chen Yulou, who is holding a ghost-beating whip, is a little hard to catch with the naked eye.
What shocked him even more.
I thought that this period of time was enough to understand the ghost whip.
But only now did he know that this large Nuo witchcraft far exceeded his expectations.
“唳——!”
In the moment of his loss of consciousness.
There was a sudden violent struggle on the long whip. When I looked up, I saw that the Ghost Whip had caught up with Luofu, entangled it heavily, and dragged it back from the mist.
It was shocked and angry.
Crazy struggle.
But the more he struggled, the more profound the inscriptions on the ghost-beating whip became, intertwined back and forth, and the terrifying power of suppression made it no longer able to resist.
"Hitting the ghost whip...this damn thing can be called the whipping of the god!"
