Chapter 34 (2/2)
”At this time of the year, it's a hundred years old again, so some practitioners come here when the mountains are closed by heavy snow in this severe winter. However, because fewer and fewer people know and believe it, they come only to those who have nothing to do and hope to take a chance. Otherwise, at this time, only a small number of practitioners who collect winter herbs and hunt spirit beasts should be right.”
At this time, the hotel owner just came to renew the wine and heard tenglin's words and said: ”I've known this rumor for a long time here, and there are different versions. Some say that the four disciples in the nest fought against each other and divided the spoils unevenly after killing Shifu, resulting in the disintegration of yunxianzong; some say that they became obsessed with practising martial arts, changed their mind and began to kill indiscriminately, and destroyed the sect; others are even more outrageous. They say that heaven saw that the spirit pulse was demanded to be exploited indiscriminately and sent down Tianlei generals The spiritual pulse pressed into the depths of the earth, causing a series of subsequent changes. ”
Yi LiuNian asked, ”did anyone really get the vein aura later?”
The boss shook his head: ”Jianghu rumors come out of nowhere. Maybe things happen for a reason, maybe they are just made by later generations. I hope it's true, otherwise my store is rarely patronized and its business is light“
”But then again, around the winter solstice every hundred years, there are more clouds in the mountain, and thunder falls from time to time, which is very strange. It should be true that the other four disciples later set up their own portals. It is said that Ling yunzong, the second-class sect in the west of Xianzhou, was founded by the first disciple and continues to this day. The second disciple went far to the north of Xianzhou and founded Qingyun sect, but later heard of the war The sect was destroyed during the chaos; the third disciple went to the South and is now unknown; the fourth disciple is a woman and later became a nun. Some people say that the dilapidated Liuyun nunnery in the mountain was once her residence“
”By the way, I remember my great grandfather once told me that when he was young, on a hundred year winter solstice, he heard hunters in the mountains say they saw practitioners fighting. Who can tell the truth of this rumor.”
At this time, the guest at the next table said, ”our brother traveled here. He heard this rumor by chance, so he stopped by to have a look. He doesn't want to see the mineral vein, but boss, do you know what kind of spirit and animal medicine is produced in the mountain, so as to prevent our brother from going there empty handed in this cold day.”
The boss replied with a smile: ”my guest, you're the right person. Although Wulan mountain has no spiritual pulse, it always contains a little aura in the perennial clouds. After hundreds of years of nourishment, there are really many unique products in the mountain, attracting outsiders to enter. Otherwise, I won't open a shop here in the cold winter and December. It's better to go home and warm the Kang with my wife and children.”
”There are two famous ones. One is the red tailed spirit fox, which only haunts the mountains in winter. First, it has a keen sense of smell and is often kept by Xiuzhen sect for tracking and treasure hunting. In addition, a red tailed water and fire can resist spiritual exploration“
”Another is the fan palm flower on a snowy night. It opens in winter every hundred years. It looks like an upright palm. It is more than half a person tall, red, green and white, and its leaves are like six snowflakes. This flower can be used as medicine to refine into a elixir. Taking it can solve most of the cold poisons and increase the power of ice magic by 10%. Of course, there are many treasures. Only these two are produced here. You can try your luck in the mountain. ”
Yi LiuNian was still immersed in the rumors and asked, ”did anyone say what a treasure hunt Keepsake is?”
The boss smiled and said, ”young man, I don't know. I won't say, OK?”
Yi LiuNian also smiled, and suddenly heard the boss shouting, ”my pickled meat!” when they saw that it was Zhang Hanyun's spotted kangaroo mink and Yi LiuNian's spotted winged flying lizard competing for the pickled meat hung by the boss at the door. They laughed and stopped talking about this rumor in their laughter.
After dinner, everyone gathered in a room for a meeting. Teng Lin took out a map, quickly pointed to the map and said: ”There are two roads after entering the mountain tomorrow, one is the main road and the other is the mountain road. Tenglin and I lead one group of Lanting to go up, and one Yun leads the other group to go up the mountain road. We will meet at the former site of Wulan yunxianzong in the middle of the mountain. If nothing happens, we will continue to separate and cross the mountain to Beishankou to concentrate and return to the sect. If you find the enemy on the way, you will follow the instructions and act accordingly.”
After the meeting, everyone went back to their rooms to have a rest. Tenglin only said that he wanted to go out again to visit his old friend to inquire about the situation. Mu hurriedly asked him to take tengzhen with him just in case. Tenglin said that he was very familiar here and would not have a problem, so he went out alone.
That night, there was no moon. It was dark outside, everything was quiet, and the falling snow could be heard. An gray carving slipped quietly in silence, flew low for hundreds of meters, rose in the air and disappeared in the night.
In the small town, several spiritual senses and eyes swept across the sky. No one moved and some thought.
At this time, the wind and snow in the whole Wulan mountain area became heavier, and gradually there was a thick fog. There was occasional thunder shining in the middle. Many people didn't sleep in different places of the mountain.
