Zhixiu has already made up his mind to take care of the mess of Po Whirling Star, which is related to his accumulation of Buddhist practice in several generations, and Lin Luoran is not good at expressing his opinion, although the strong smell of spices at the source of Luoye River still reminds people of the rat demon and its Po Whirling Feeling uncomfortable because of the teaching, she and Mu Tiannan have already decided to leave through the interstellar teleportation array.
Thousands of resentful spirits are trapped on the top of the tree, which is not only the guard of the interstellar teleportation array, but also another kind of protection. Zhixiu opened up a passage for Lin Luoran and the two of them in the resentful spirits. After checking that the formation was not damaged, it was a blessing in misfortune.
Lin Luoran knew nothing about the sub-spiritual world. Zhixiu was chased by Yin Shanzong all the way to Posuo Star back then, and the teleportation location was randomly set without coordinates.
After entering the teleportation formation, she was still reminded by Mu Tiannan that she still had the "star map" of the jade steps.
Take it out and take a closer look. There is a star on the back of the second step that is a "red dot" that is lit up. Could it be the whirling star where the two of them are
Thinking of Zhixiu's saying that after leaving the Po Whirling Star, going westward promises to be rewarding, Lin Luoran's heart moved, and he tried to use his spiritual sense to connect the Po Whirling Star with the nearest star spot to the west of it in the star chart, and the thin white line connected it. The brilliance of the interstellar teleportation array where the spirit stone was placed was circulating, and it started to work by itself!
It was too late to say goodbye to Zhixiu, Lin Luoran and Mu Tiannan disappeared in the teleportation light curtain.
This time the teleportation is to two adjacent planets, and the time is much shorter than Xin Yuanping's conspiracy from Tiankui to Posuo.
The uncomfortable teleportation process passed quickly, Lin Luoran and Mu Tiannan walked out of the teleportation array, and found that the teleportation array at this end was built in a quiet stone palace, opened the door and walked out, and it turned out to be a very lively market.
The same race and skin color, row upon row of houses, the same color of blue bricks on the floor, men, women and children in ancient Chinese costumes walked among them, turning a blind eye to the two people who walked out of the stone house.
Those who sell talismans, those who practice qigong, and restaurants in foreign lands, all walks of life, give people the feeling of traveling through time and space.
If the only difference from the usual market is that the pedestrians on the street and the shopkeepers on the roadside are all monks!
Among them, Qi training and foundation building stage monks are the most common. Occasionally, I saw the monks who formed the alchemy walking in a hurry, and the monks who were in the Yuanying stage were even less visible. Lin Luoran was very sensitive to the fact that the low-level monks did not turn a blind eye to the two people who walked out of the teleportation array, but more secretly looked at them. A few people were eager to try, as if they were going to come forward to talk to them, but Mu Sange had a cold face. They all felt the physical pressure around them, and hesitated for a while.
I haven't seen anything after living for hundreds of years, and wanting to know the local situation as soon as possible, Mu Tiannan suggested that I could go to a restaurant.
Seeing the two of them went to the nearest restaurant side by side, the few people who were eager to try before were annoyed.
The talisman seller complained about the timidity of the elixir seller, and the latter murmured unconvinced, "Who knows whether the rich man or the eccentric senior came here this time, Zhu Qi, why don't you try going to the restaurant again if you are so brave?"
Zhu Qi, who sold the talismans, snorted twice, raised the corner of his robe and went back to the stall, still selling a bunch of messy talismans.
There are a lot of monks selling things in the square market, and it is really difficult to do business. When Zhu Qi looked up, he could see that Lin Luoran and the two had ordered a seat by the window on the third floor, neither avoiding people nor involving privacy. He could try it.
After another meeting with his son, the monks who wanted to compete with him for business all dispersed, Zhu Qi rolled his eyes twice, and only bowed to Mu Tiannan:
"Senior's interstellar journey is boring, would you like to listen to this junior talk about the new things about this Lanhu star?"
Mu Tiannan and Lin Luoran naturally noticed that the little monk downstairs was paying attention to them, and they didn't really choose the place by the window to taste the local food. Looking at the direction more, he behaved fairly well, so he nodded at him to signal him to come up.
For a person like Zhu Qi who has been hanging out in the market for a long time, if he has a chance to talk to him, he might be able to make two big deals. Seeing that Mu Tiannan agrees, he will not set up a stall, so he packs up his things and sneaks out. Drill in the restaurant.
Seeing the previous few monks who wanted to get business beat their chests and stomped their feet, Zhu Qi took advantage of this in vain.
After ordering the spirit wine and serving it on the table, the taste in the throat is endlessly reminiscent, and the spirit energy is not as good as the fruit wine Lin Luoran brewed by himself back then. With the two people's current cultivation, the restaurant's various spirit wine fruits and vegetables are not as good. It can be seen in the eyes, but Zhu Qi is different.
The mellow smell of wine and the scent of spiritual fruit placed on the table lingering in the nose, Zhu Qi was shocked as soon as he entered the private room on the third floor.
Zhu Qi had a flattering smile on his face, he looked like he was in his thirties, he was neither a monk nor a Daoist, he looked like a casual cultivator seeking a living in the market. In fact, Mu Tiannan had asked about the general situation of Lanhu Xing, a restaurant employee, and had taken up a high position with a panoramic view of Fang City to collect information. It was Lin Luoran who said that the middle-aged man downstairs kept winking, even monks Level, the little people in the market are trying to make a living, and they probably know the situation of this star very well.
Zhu Qi met with the two of them again, and Mu Tiannan motioned him to sit down and talk in detail.
The waiter in the restaurant refills wine glasses for Zhu Qixin, and takes them out with a wink. There were only three people left in the box, and when Lin Luoran glanced at them, the well-informed Zhu Qi suddenly couldn't help being nervous.
Lin Luoran slowed down his tone, "We're new here, and we don't know much about Lanhu Star. We just wanted to talk to you about local customs, so you don't have to be nervous."
Zhu Qi laughed twice. Lin and Mu came out of the teleportation formation, and they didn't have the slightest sign of the sect on their bodies. The monks who were eager to sell them thought that the two were senior Nascent Souls who could travel through the stars by themselves. Dare to make mistakes easily. But looking closely at the expressions of the two, there is no arrogance of high-level monks who are accustomed to having eyeballs on the top of their heads. Zhu Qi thought that maybe they were really two famous disciples who did not want to reveal their identities—you must know that cultivation bases below the Nascent Soul stage require interstellar teleportation. In addition to the need for a magic weapon for protection, the high amount of spiritual stones consumed by the interstellar teleportation array, not to mention small native cultivators like them, even the non-core disciples of the Lanhu Star Sect can't afford it, the teleportation array flashes white light, It was all spirit stones!
"I don't know what kind of information the two seniors want to know, but the junior must know everything." He was very uncomfortable sitting on the chair, and the attitudes of the two people opposite him were obviously very kind. In a blink of an eye, he mistakenly regarded the high-ranking monk as a "fat sheep" traveling the interstellar world relying on his teacher, Yu Yin.
"For example, what sect powers does Lanhu star have?" Mu Tiannan tapped on the table with his slender knuckles, looking elegant and comfortable, which relieved Zhu Qi from the heart, sorted out what he knew in his mind, and got Only when you are seventy or eighty percent sure do you speak.
It turns out that the "Lanhu Star" adjacent to Posuo Star is a little-known planet in the sub-spiritual world.
Seventy-five percent of the planet's surface is land, and the terrain is dangerous. It's not easy for ordinary people to live in. The poor mountains and rough waters of the continent are very suitable for hiding all kinds of monsters. Although monsters are troublesome, they also represent "wealth" in the eyes of monks. Thousands of years ago, the Lanhu star was first included in the star map of the cultivation world, and the mainland was divided up by many big factions.
And the teleportation array was built in such a square city where most of the low-level monks are, it is precisely because the king of the big faction doesn't see the king, and they don't trust each other, so they deliberately chose such a desolate area that is considered desolate in the mortal world of Lanhu Star An interstellar teleportation array was built, and it was agreed that no faction should reach out to the teleportation array. Lanhu star is rich in monsters, and it is also a special kind of cultivation resource. Forging tools into alchemy and painting talismans, many parts of cultivation are inseparable from the materials on monsters. Once the teleportation array of Lanhu star was established, many monks traveled to and from this star. It was a very lively year, so the interstellar teleportation array originally established in the desolate place gathered casual practitioners, and gradually formed a big city.
"I heard from some seniors that the Lanhu star used to be very famous in the entire cultivation world, but the name of the rich monsters is also the old Huangli. After thousands of years, no matter how many monsters there are, they will not be killed. Now they are left in a dangerous place. The monsters here are either low-level little monsters that the big sect doesn't like, or big monsters that even the sect dare not chew on."
Monster beasts are not leeks in the field, they will grow back soon after cutting a pile, and there are no other mineral deposits in Lanhu Star, so the excitement passed quickly.
The influence of the world of self-cultivation on this planet is more than that. This planet has already seen the wonders of cultivation, how can it be willing to return to the state of ignorance? A casual cultivator like Zhu Qi, who was born and raised like Zhu Qi, dreams of joining the big sect, hoping to leave in the end Lanhu Xing, who is getting more and more difficult to mix with.
In other words, Lanhu Star, like Tiankui Star, is a semi-abandoned planet by the standards of the cultivation world.
Is it necessary to continue westward to the next star
Lin Luoran thought for a while and still didn't give up, and asked: "Do you know the detailed division of power in Lanhu Star?"
The Zongmen's division of Lanhu Star did not involve any secrets. Zhu Qi divided it into southeast and northwest, and sorted out the sects that had branches on Lanhu Star today. Lin and Mu knew very little about the cultivation world, so they Having come into contact with a Yinshan sect, the name of the sect Zhu Qikou mentioned was very unfamiliar to them.
Zhu Qi was indeed a good guide, and he spoke clearly, so after he finished his narration, Lin Luoran caught the missing light in his mind.
"Where is the West? Could it be that the West is a blank?"
Zhu Qi was taken aback, and then smiled: "Senior, I don't know that the rivers and rivers of Lanhu star converge to the west, and the land in the extreme west is a sea area that occupies a large area of Lanhu star."
Mu Tiannan withdrew his right hand that had been placed on the table, "There are always water-type monsters in the sea, such a big piece of cake, it won't just be let go for nothing."
Zhu Qi shook his head: "It is said that there is an isolated island in the westernmost sea area, which is the sphere of influence of the Tianji Sect. However, the Tianji Sect never competes with other sects. Monsters, so Lanhu star monks seldom mentioned this sect... But when the senior asked, the junior remembered that a group of people came out of the teleportation array half a month ago, and went west after leaving the city."
Lin Luoran's eyes brightened slightly, "Are you from the Tianji Sect?"
Zhu Qi sneered, "Tianji Sect is very mysterious in the realm of comprehension, and the juniors don't dare to confirm it because of their superficial knowledge."
Zhu Qi didn't know much about the Tianji Sect. It should be said that the entire cultivation world held a far-reaching attitude towards this sect that was said to be able to calculate the heavenly secrets. Naturally, there were very few news from the Tianji sect.
Lin Luoran was extremely moved by just saying "can calculate the secret of heaven".
She vaguely believed that Zhixiu's farewell words should be here. Mu Tiannan had the same opinion as her. Half a month ago, a group of people went west, and the timing was too coincidental.
Zhu Qi came out of the restaurant in a daze, and the monks who sold the pills came up to ask him if he had made a small fortune, but he fooled him.
But thinking of the Lingshi in the storage bag, Zhu Qi's heart was burning hot.
As for the low-key Lin Luoran and Mu Tiannan, they had already quietly left for the west.
...
One month later, Lanyuexing is on the edge of the West Sea.
Mu Sange with healthy arms stood side by side with Lin Luoran by the seaside, the blue waves chasing each other, and the sea breeze blowing the newly grown left hand from the broken arm made him feel a little weird.
Along the way to the west, I also encountered a few monsters who were not open-eyed, but this was not the reason why Mu Tiannan decided to use the dragon marrow to extend his arm.
Beauties in the cultivation world are very common, but crooked monks are hard to find. Even if the body is mutilated, the monks will try their best to solve it. A situation like him that can be cured but he doesn't care about it is really against the mainstream aesthetics. Walking side by side with Lin Luoran, Mu Tiannan, who was missing his left arm, attracted a lot of scrutiny. Brother Mu couldn't stand the dark eyes, so he just had his broken arm healed on the way west.
To cross the sea, Lin Luoran has a bone boat, but the sea area is vast, and there are many water monsters and ants in the deep sea, Lin Luoran has no time to entangle with monsters.
Lin Luoran and Mu Tiannan were standing by the seaside, of course not for a romantic walk, the supernatural power "Listen" came in handy at this time, she was trying to communicate with the water monster to ask for directions!
The monsters have keen senses, Lin Luoran didn't want to kill them, and there was a "big monster" standing next to them, and ordinary little monsters would not dare to do anything wrong, so she really got the information she wanted through communication.
According to the monsters, there is indeed an isolated island facing the water in the middle of the West Sea. The small island will appear on a star-studded night, and there are traces of human monks' activities on the island.
Normally, the island is covered by the formation, and it looks like a flat sea area. The water-type monsters who strayed into the range of the maze have more or less suffered. More importantly, not long ago, a group of monks crossed the sea and went to the island. Whether it is the "Tianji sect" in Lin Luoran's mouth is not in the scope of the monsters' concern, and they don't know.
When Lin Luoran and Mu Tiannan Yufeng flew away, the little demon who was questioned was so confused, it actually easily told the truth to the human monks - Lin Luoran is the true god in charge of a water area, and has a natural affinity for the water races, But the little monsters of the water system don't know about it.
Islands will appear on star-studded nights. There are many examples of astrology and divination in Chinese legends. Lin Luoran has personally seen the unusual celestial phenomena when the secret realm of Bermuda was opened. Being able to subdue the false saintess, she didn't dare to underestimate the Tianji sect because of her own strength: the Tianji sect always has two brushes that can make many forces in the cultivation world afraid.
Compared with all kinds of difficult monsters encountered in January on the road, the water-type monsters in the West Sea are really gentle. When Lin Luoran and the two determined the location of the island without any surprises, they were still a little afraid. sure.
"It's really hard work by nature. Things are going too well, so I don't get used to it." Lin Luoran muttered softly, and the muffled smile at the corner of Mu Laosan's mouth was obvious.
The star map has been in her hands for so many years, and Lin Luoran still has a little experience in the formation. He can fool the maze of water monsters, but he can't fool her.
"We can't just stop in mid-air and wait for the good night to come, can we?"
Lin Luoran glanced at Mu Tiannan, took out a piece of paper, quickly folded a small paper crane, and let it fly after holding back his breath.
Seeing the little paper crane trembling and disappearing in the middle of its flight, Lin Luoran felt a little regretful: "If the sub-spiritual world isn't too big, it's not impossible to use paper cranes to find someone."
Mu Tiannan didn't answer. The sub-spiritual world is not an earth that can be controlled by a few of them alone. If the origami crane is looking for someone, as long as the other party is about the same level as the origami crane, it's too easy to be stopped halfway.
Lin Luoran used a paper crane as a "worship card", and within two quarters of an hour, he got a response: first, the waves in front of the sea fluctuated, and at the same time, thick fog formed on the sea surface. After the sound of the wind and waves, the water fog dispersed, and a small island with beautiful scenery appeared in front of.
A few beautiful young women in fancy dress appeared in mid-air stepping on the flying magic weapon, and smiled at the two of them:
"Eldest brother made a divination yesterday and said that there are distinguished guests coming. It's all because of us sisters who are procrastinating and keeping the two seniors waiting for a long time."
Plum blossoms, orchids, bamboos and chrysanthemums, each of them has a youthful charm, and more importantly, they are all Nascent Soul cultivators. They open their mouths to address Lin and Mu as "senior", and they can't find any disrespect. Yesterday a divination said that a distinguished guest was coming." They still locked themselves up on the island to avoid living, and Lin Luoran just pretended that there was no inconsistency.
In the Lanhu Xing stronghold of Tianjizong, which has already gone downhill, there are actually a few Nascent Soul female cultivators who are randomly dispatched to act as "welcome guests"... Lin Luoran's thoughts were wandering, and he only said "excuse me", without showing any timidity in his actions , and Mu Tiannan set foot on the island with a calm expression.
Under the magical use of the formation, the island is like spring and the breeze is blowing all year round. The cobbled path winds all the way to the depths of the island, where the grass is lush, and there is a Taoist temple in the depths of the dense forest. Lin Luoran has a strange sense of familiarity.
For a short distance, several female cultivators kept chattering non-stop, all talking about senior brothers, so noisy that Mu Tiannan really wanted to grab one of them with one hand and throw them all into the sea in twos and twos.
Lin Luoran saw that they didn't seem to be fake, and was curious about the "big brother" whom they called "big brothers", and even more curious about the Tianji sect that raised a group of naive and ignorant female cultivators.
Finally, the cobblestone path came to an end, and the rest was the bluestone steps to climb up. Several female cultivators pursed their lips and smiled: "We will send the two seniors here, and the elder brother will wait in the audience."
After talking, pushing and yelling, a gust of wind seemed to run away, leaving Lin Luoran and Mu Tiannan looking at each other.
Neither of the two are timid, seeing each other want to play mystery, they also went along with the situation and climbed slowly along the stone steps.
The terrain is not high, and the stone steps winding around the hills are more like an embellishment that allows people to better appreciate the beautiful scenery. Walking on the stone road in the forest can relax your mind.
Not long after reaching the highest point, a large pine tree with a crooked neck covered most of the vermilion lacquer gate. There was a large open space in front of it. Stone benches and tables were placed under the shade of the tree. A small road boy was cleaning the fallen leaves. A little shy, he performed a Taoist etiquette with one hand on his chest.
Lin Luoran followed Xiaodaotong inside, walking more and more slowly, Mu Tiannan saw that her expression was still and asked in a low voice, "What's the matter?" She had a half smile on her face: "This is Qing—"
"Senior Sister Lin, are you safe?"
A Taoist in Tsing Yi asked in front of the arched door, and at that moment Lin Luoran felt something explode in his head with a bang.
Exactly the same, exactly the same, whether it is a Taoist temple or a human being—this is Qingcheng Temple!
