"Comfortable."
"Come on, drink, I haven't been this happy for a long time."
"I must not get drunk today."
"Take it easy, tomorrow morning We still have to look for the city. We have to turn the ancient city upside down. Otherwise, wouldn’t it be a waste of resources to bury so many good things underground?”
The night fell.
Countless figures sat around on the sand.
A giant bonfire with a radius of at least three to four meters was burning brightly in the middle.
On the simply built grill, six or seven beasts were hung.
Engulfed in flames.
The golden oil is sizzling and fragrant.
Blow again.
I don’t know how many people secretly swallowed their saliva.
Those are the things that Chen Yulou specially asked Luofu to hunt in order to reward the guys for their hard work during this time.
Although the Black Desert is known as a lifeless place.
But there are actually not a few wild animals living in it.
They have long been accustomed to the harsh environment of the Black Desert.
Be able to predict sandstorms and snowstorms.
The oases and water sources in the Black Desert are even more treasured.
Even for the most experienced hunter, hunting them is extremely difficult.
What a pity...
What they encountered was Luofu.
The snake god was sealed and the demon died.
It is the well-deserved overlord of this desert.
Flying high into the sky and letting out a little breath, even if it is a ferocious beast, it can only be captured without mercy.
It takes less than half a quarter of an hour.
Then he brought back six or seven wild beasts.
In addition to the most common sand wolf, there are also blue sheep and lizards, and the most amazing one is undoubtedly a wild camel.
It weighs at least six to seven hundred kilograms.
When it was thrown down from a high altitude.
The whole camp was shaken at once.
As for the drinks, there was not much left in stock. In order to celebrate today's victory, Chen Yulou asked Huamaguai to move most of them out in one go.
Let the brothers eat meat and drink wine.
At this moment, far away from the bonfire and on a sand dune close to the ancient city, Chen Yulou and his party were sitting casually on the ground, each holding a wine bottle in their hands.
Even Oona, who had never had a drink before, took a bottle for the first time.
The Turks were the former kings of the grasslands.
Drinking alcohol is almost engraved into the bone marrow.
However, since she was a child, she has been trained by her father as the next generation of wizards. She is worried that drinking too early will damage her mind, so she has never been allowed to drink.
In addition, she has been trapped underground for more than ten years and has no chance to drink.
Nothing more.
On this trip to the ancient city, I not only found the legendary sacred tree as I wished.
I even saw my mother’s corpse.
The emotions in my heart cannot be suppressed by just a few words. Now a pot of kumiss can just relieve the depression that is difficult to release.
Except.
There are also flower spirits.
Hold a bag of kumiss and sip it in small sips.
Under the swaying firelight in the distance, her delicate and beautiful face was flushed, looking pure and somewhat indescribably charming.
She wanted to study pharmacology since she was a child.
Tobacco and alcohol are the most taboo things.
After all, drinking alcohol is not only harmful to the body, but also seriously damages the sense of smell.
So she has never been a teetotaler.
The same is true for old foreigners.
Only Senior Brother Guan Xiang, when he is really depressed occasionally and has no one to talk to, would drink a dime and a half of strong liquor, wait for the two of them to fall asleep, and drink a few sips alone in front of the night.
But today is different.
The ghost curse is eliminated.
What the Zagrama clan has been waiting for for thousands of years has finally come true.
Even though she never drank alcohol, she still asked for one.
“Wine is not a good thing either.”
“Girl Hualing, just try it.”
Seeing that her face was so hot that even her snow-white neck was stained with it. With a layer of blush, the red girl next to her couldn't help but shake her head and persuade with a smile.
That being said.
But she was carrying a bag of kumiss.
Like drinking water.
Being able to hang out in Changsheng Mountain for so many years as a daughter is not for nothing.
In addition, she was born in the Moon Gate, and her family has been an opera troupe for generations.
Have a good ancestral wine-making skill.
Count forward a few years.
When autumn comes, she will make a special trip to the mountains to collect medicinal herbs, hunt tigers, collect bones, snake gall, and herbs to brew several jars of tiger bone wine.
It’s the hellish winter season.
A few people were sitting around the fire.
Take half a liang and a dime of wine and drink.
No matter how cold it is, it still feels warm to the bones.
Which person who is good at winemaking is not a good drinker?
In addition, these years, I have been alone in Xiangxi, and it is difficult to vent my depression, so Miss Hong always takes a few sips.
That’s why I saw this scene.
Charming and handsome, the beauty in red dress is intoxicating.
"It's so spicy..."
Hearing this, Hua Ling secretly stuck out her tongue. At the moment, she felt a strong burning sensation spreading in her chest, her heartbeat accelerated, and her head felt dizzy.
I don’t know what’s so good about this.
Why does Brother Chen always like to have a few drinks no matter when he is in a hurry or thinking about something?
And Senior Brother.
Many times, she saw him alone with a wine bottle.
At first, she thought that the wine smelled spicy, but it actually tasted good. But after drinking it, she realized that compared to the smell it gave off, the moment it entered her throat, it was really biting.
"Sister Hong, why do you still drink?"
Holding the wine bag.
Hua Ling sits on the ground like a little girl.
She glanced around. Everyone was laughing and talking, changing glasses, with smiles on their faces. They didn't look like they were in pain at all. The curiosity in her heart became more and more intense.
"Maybe..."
"A drink will relieve a thousand worries."
Miss Hong's hand holding the kumiss paused slightly.
Then he shook his head, a trace of sadness flashed in his clear eyes, and his smile concealed the complexity.
"Oh."
Flower spirit seems to understand but not understand.
Replace the cork.
Hold your knees with your hands and just look around.
The bonfire in the distance became more and more prosperous, and sparks flew in the wind like sky lanterns. The guys who had drunk too much began to play guessing games, and there was excitement in the noise.
There were two senior brothers beside him, Brother Chen, Kunlun and Yang Fang.
It is much quieter than the noisy over there.
But the smile on his face could not be concealed.
Especially Senior Brother.
Hua Ling couldn't remember how long it had been since she had seen him so relaxed.
It was as if a thousand pounds of weight had been lifted off my shoulders.
There is no longer the sad look between the eyebrows.
Speaking of happiness.
I will dance like a child.
Speaking and gesticulating.
Who has not been a child?
They also had a senior brother holding an umbrella, who always stood in front of them when encountering danger. However, when the senior brother came out of the mountain, the previous generation of Taoist mountain movers were already in their twilight years.
A ghost curse breaks out.
Worried that I might not be able to hold on at any time.
So I am extremely strict with my senior brother.
I just hope that he can shoulder the heavy burden of Zagrama and Shishan in the shortest possible time.
But when it came time for me and my senior foreigner brother.
But he tried his best to bear everything on himself.
After today...
None of this should happen again.
As she thought about it, two tears fell uncontrollably from her cheeks.
Even they themselves could not have imagined that the curse that had been placed on them for thousands of years would actually be broken.
I don’t know how long.
She suddenly came to her senses.
I realized that Miss Hong got up at some point.
He gently put his hands around his shoulders and comforted her softly.
"Okay, it's okay, there will be dawn after tonight."
Hua Ling raised her head, raised her hand to wipe away the tears from the corners of her eyes, nodded and smiled. Like a blooming bud.
Only through experience can you know.
Everything today.
How hard it is to get.
For ordinary people, what is within reach was once an unattainable dream for them.
But after today.
They can have it too.
At this moment, the ancient city behind you stands quietly under the sand dunes and black mountains.
The night is quiet and the atmosphere is indescribably comfortable.
She had fantasized about this scenario so many times, and now it finally became a reality.
And all of this...
Hua Ling raised her eyes and glanced furtively not far away. The long sleeves were straight. Even if she was sitting on the ground, she could not hide her elegant figure.
My vision blurred for a while.
Countless images flashed in the back of my mind.
We pulled it all the way to the bottom of Pingshan Mountain.
If it hadn't been for Brother Chen, today, according to the previous plan, the three brothers and sisters should still be climbing mountains and wading in the 100,000 mountains in southern Xinjiang.
Not him.
Entering the country to practice Taoism is even more extravagant.
Get the practice method at Pingshan Mountain, find the Muchen Bead at Zhelong Mountain, and break the ghost curse at Shuanghei Mountain.
It's like having a pair of invisible hands.
Turning the wheel of fate.
"Hey, what are you thinking about? Your senior brother is calling you."
Just as she was in a daze.
The smiling voice of the red girl on the side suddenly came.
Hua Ling subconsciously raised her head, and what she met was a pair of deep, clear, still-water eyes, which made her feel panicked.
Pingshan time.
The girl's feelings are revealed for the first time.
I don’t quite understand this yet.
Only girls are naturally reserved and shy.
But now that more than half a year has passed, a look or a word can often tug at her heartstrings.
"What's wrong, senior brother?"
He breathed out secretly.
Suppressing the random thoughts in her heart, Hua Ling quickly walked outside the partridge whistle.
"It's nothing."
"I just discussed with Brother Chen about the next plan."
It seemed that he could sense that the junior sister was a little nervous.
Partridge Whistle waved his hand, asked her to sit down, and said warmly.
"What's the plan?"
Hua Ling was immediately attracted.
"Of course it's about the continuation of the Zagrama lineage."
"Huh?"
Hua Ling didn't know what he was thinking of.
His eyes suddenly widened, and his thoughts, which were already in a mess, were even more messy now.
Tribe continuation?
Do you want to discuss marriage for yourself?
In this day and age, a girl of sixteen or seventeen years old who is still waiting for marriage is indeed considered an old girl.
However, their clan was really in decline, and at that time they were focused on searching for the Muchen Bead, so they had no time to think too much.
She didn't know what the junior sister was thinking about, so she just glanced at Hua Ling strangely, and then continued to add.
"According to Brother Chen's wishes."
"It is to find a place to practice. It should not be too remote and far away from people. Only by entering the world of mortals can you refine your heart."
Hear his explanation.
Hua Ling finally understood.
"Nowadays, we have several choices."
"The first is Kuanglu Mountain, which is where Master Lingchen practices."
"Kuanglu Mountain has been a blessed land of cave heaven since ancient times, with spiritual energy It's rich, the scenery is good, and it's not far from the river, so it's very convenient to travel."
The Partridge Whistle didn't notice anything strange about her.
Still talking to himself.
"As for the second place, it is Pingshan. Once the poison is eliminated, the Taoist fairyland can be regarded as a treasured place for cultivation."
"Is there anything else?"
The flower spirit has been suppressed by now. He was panicking, and curiosity flashed in his eyes.
“The last place is Junshan Island on Dongting Lake eight hundred miles away.”
Junshan Island was naturally proposed by Chen Yulou.
Before coming, he specifically asked Uncle Yu to send someone to explore the way.
Just to prepare for the next step.
Practice is unusual.
If you just want to practice martial arts, Chenjiazhuang or Changsheng Mountain are the best.
But practicing Taoism and breathing.
There are great requirements for spiritual energy.
If it weren’t for the fact that the journey to southern Yunnan is too far away, Zhelong Mountain and Fuxian Lake would actually be pretty good, and they would be far away from wars, troubled times, and natural and man-made disasters.
But transportation is inconvenient these days.
The round trip time is too long.
We can only abandon and give up this idea.
"Is that the big lake we passed by before returning home?"
When Hua Ling heard about Dongting Junshan Island, her heart moved.
At the end of Bottle Mountain.
Senior brother and shopkeeper Chen had an appointment for one month.
They had returned to Peacock Mountain from Dongting.
"Not bad."
"What do you think, Junior Sister Hua Ling?"
Chen Yulou smiled faintly.
"Okay, it's surrounded by mountains and rivers, with a line between sky and water, and it's not far from Chenjiazhuang."
As expected.
Hear her answer.
A few people couldn't help but smile at each other, as if they had expected it.
"Then it's settled. When we return to Chenjiazhuang, we will go to the island to see the situation."
Chen Yulou nodded.
This matter is settled.
In due course.
Yang Fang put down the koumiss and suddenly said.
"Shopkeeper Chen, what about Kunlun Mountain..."
"What Kunlun Mountain?"
Hearing this, not only Hua Ling, but also Guaizi and Miss Hong also looked surprised. looked over.
They have been in the ancient city these past few days, responsible for digging out antiques scattered everywhere.
"The Ghost Cave Clan originated from the Snowy Demon Kingdom. Their old capital was built on Kunlun Mountain. We are discussing the plan for the next few days."
Chen Yulou explained briefly One sentence.
“You mean, there is an ancient city under Kunlun Mountain?”
Hua Maguai’s eyes lit up.
The harvest from just one exquisite ancient city can be worth several great treasures.
After two days, there were almost a hundred or so three tripod artifacts.
For him, there is no difference between gold and silver.
Those antiques of excellent quality are buried in the yellow sand, waiting for them to pick them up.
It is easier than a pharmacist going into the mountains to collect herbs.
Now that he heard that there was an ancient city at the foot of the Kunlun Mountains, and that the Jingjue Ancient Kingdom was only founded by one of their tribesmen, how could he not be extremely moved?
“You kid, don’t even think about it.”
“Kunlun Mountain is extremely dangerous, and it’s really not worth risking your life for just a few bright weapons.”
>The kidnapper has been following him for so many years.
As soon as the boy opened his mouth, Chen Yulou knew what he was holding inside.
"It's not that far away. There are so many brothers here, so everything should be fine, right?"
Hua Ma turned around and smiled.
I don’t blame him for saying that.
It has been so easy and casual to dig for treasure these two days, but when I think about the past fights, the difference is heartbreaking. Even a child of three or two years old knows how to choose.
"There are monsters running rampant in that place. If you really think you have nine lives, you can try it."
Chen Yulou raised his eyebrows with a serious look on his face.
His words were definitely not meant to scare.
Infinite Karmic Fire, Neqiong Shenbing, Sin-eating Balu, Snow Maitreya, Molting Turtle, Black Fierce Skin, Spotted Jiao, Salamander, Earth Guanyin.
Compared to the ancient city of Jingjue, only Jingjian Ahan can be called the Kunlun Temple.
Ordinary people will definitely have a narrow escape from death.
Sensing the solemn tone of the shopkeeper, Huamaguai didn't dare to say anything more, but felt regretful, saying that it was definitely a lie.
“That’s it.”
“You kidnappers, continue to clean up the ancient city in the next few days.”
“A few of us will take a trip to Kunlun Mountain and try to clean up the ancient city in the shortest possible time. Return."(End of this chapter)
