Chapter 219: Rising from the plain ground

The grass and trees are stained with frost and vicissitudes of life, and the morning fog in early winter is cold.

The group of people came through the fog and walked westward along the river valley. Xu Yuanchang was walking more than ten feet in front. From the distance, the sound of roaring and splashing water gradually became clearer, and the drifting fog became more and more wet.

"Meng Yiyi, don't fall behind. A few broken stones are worth picking up. Don't go near the river."

"Come, come, aunt, look, look, look at the beautiful stone I picked up."

Meng Yiyi, who is lively and loves all beautiful things, accidentally discovered some beautiful stones among the pebbles on the river beach. After asking his aunt, he found out that they were natural jade seeds.

After thousands of years of river erosion and sand and stone grinding, it has achieved various roundness and colors.

While walking along the roadside, she searched hard for all kinds of stones that she liked, and wanted to show them off in all directions when she saw Mulmo next time.

Do you have it? Do you have it?

Ordinary jade stones that are worthless in the eyes of monks are wonderful fantasies in her eyes.

Liu Xianfeng was laughing and joking without any formality. Seeing that the hanging waterfall near the bend of the valley ahead was less than three miles away, she suddenly sent a message to remind the two people in front and behind: "There are two monks hiding on the opposite hilltop."

The number of monks wandering around them has increased significantly in the past two days, and they don't look like good people.

Xu Yuanchang released his spiritual consciousness to observe the area. The two hiding monks from the Sanzhonglou found their whereabouts exposed and took the initiative to fly back to the south. He took a little caution, stopped, and said: "Let's climb up the mountain to the north, and use some effort to walk along the way." When traveling at the foot of the mountain on the north bank, there are many narrow places in the valley, making it easy for people to ambush you.”

With the help of trees and hanging vines, Zeng Shanlang climbed easily while carrying the bamboo box, and jumped as nimbly as a monkey.

Liu Xianfeng entered the woods like a fish in water and didn't know where she went.

By the way, he pinched the little girl and put a few mud fingerprints on her pink cheeks.

Meng Caiqin was still worried about this problem. Although it was comfortable for the two children to walk along the river beach, there were potential safety risks. She had been tightening the string for dozens of miles just now, alert to the movement on both sides. Seeing Director Xu offered to change the difficult path, On the way to the mountain road, I immediately expressed my approval.

Most of the monks who work in the Wuxian Mountain Region are active in the outer two thousand miles.

Even when he smiles, it's three points lighter than others.

She has always been flying, often out of sight, or hiding in a bamboo box.

Aunt Liu also made fun of him for looking like a "little old man who lost his coins."

Zeng Shanlang didn't look back, his hands were like paddling water, maintaining a steady rhythm.

Just be diligent on the way and pick it up again.

But she was sensible and took the time to climb up the mountain without waiting for Meng Caiqin to urge her.

The group turned to climb up the mountain.

The quirky little girl learned to tell lies with her eyes open.

In the past, Lao Shi was ambushed and plotted in the water, and Yuan Bao lost a hind limb for this, which cost a heavy price.

As a guest, she doesn't have to worry about the hard work of practicing the rules.

"No, Aunt Liu is the best, why would she snatch things from children?"

During the journey, she was the only one who didn't have to walk.

Xu Yuanchang slowed down, and he was already aware of the looming prying eyes on the hilltop on the other side of the river valley.

"Meng Yiyi, if you continue to accuse me of stealing your stones, I will really steal them next time."

Not far from the opposite bank, a waterfall hanging from the top of the mountain was made of melted snow and crashed down.

The group of people had passed fifty miles away when a talisman's light penetrated into the narrow and fast river at the bend of the river. A figure emerged from the mist, blurring like water waves, and left in a hurry.

Meng Yi fell behind, a little disappointed, her beautiful pebbles.

He figured out how to practice the basic boxing skills of Xuanji when he was on the road, and specifically asked Taoist Master Xu for advice.

Climb over the hills on the north bank and find the mountain road again to zigzag forward.

Not attracting other people's attention has almost become an instinct engraved in his bones.

There is no need to cast spells like before, which saves a lot of time.

Meng Yiyi screamed and jumped with his little fists: "The big bad Aunt Liu, if you try to steal my stones again, I won't play with you anymore."

She has newly learned the ability to communicate with vegetation. She scans her eyes and sees that there is a place with live vegetation within five miles. The trees and bushes she passes along the way are her eyes and ears, which can help her detect subtle abnormalities.

Show off your goodies in front of her?
Gone.

Liu Xianfeng, who was flying invisible in the air, suddenly reached out and snatched away some colorful jade stones that Meng Yiyi had just picked up.

Meng Caiqin has become accustomed to it, and the progress of her little niece is obvious to all.

If I didn't have two children, I wouldn't have so many worries.

Although Zeng Shanlang also likes to look at colorful stones that make his heart beat, he is young and mature and would not subconsciously do anything that would displease adults. He seems to have never been carefree since he can remember.

After getting the Taoist priest's approval, he rowed his hands without scruple to make turning movements, and practiced breathing exercises. Now, after running more than 300 miles a day, he doesn't feel tired at all. Instead, he is full of energy, and his cultivation and strength are strong. Strength increases day by day.

"It's still more than two hundred miles along the river valley to Qianyan Crossing at Wuya Lake. We will definitely make it there this afternoon."

Meng Yiyi burst into laughter and ran very fast on her short legs. She had no objection to giving it to Brother Shanlang.

Seeing the beautiful stones falling one by one into the bamboo box behind Zeng Shanlang in front of me, there was a "pop" sound, and the lid of the bamboo box was closed again, blatantly framed.

Liu Xianfeng saw that the young master pointed at the river which was not wide. During the dry season in winter, a large area of ​​​​the river beach was exposed. She understood that the young master was worried that there were monks hiding in the river and setting up an ambush. She was not able to detect the movement in the water.

At noon, when the sun was slightly tilted, a group of people walked out of the rolling mountains.

Ahead is a rare plain wilderness area. The river stretches and twists like a jade belt. The river beach is wide, with large and small pebbles spread out on the fine sand. The sun shines and the colors are colorful.

"Have a rest for half an hour and the afternoon journey will be easy."

Xu Yuanchang chose to plant red willow branches on the grass at the edge of the river beach and warned: "Yiyi, don't pick up stones near the river."

Meng, who was happily picking up pebbles on the river beach, responded one by one: "I know."

Zeng Shanlang put down the bamboo box and was busy cutting down branches, preparing to dig a pit to make tea and boil dry food and meat into a paste.

Meng Caiqin simply arranged a few arrays, and accompanied the little girl who had not had enough fun, picking up stones on the river beach in order to stop Meng Yi from walking to the river in time.

What can you do with all the stones on the ground besides occupying space?
Ordinary jade and money are of little use to monks.

After inspecting the nearby Liu Xianfeng for twenty or thirty miles, he returned and casually pushed the red willow branches to take root and said: "Sir, I followed the river to Wuya Lake a hundred miles away, but I didn't see Song Shuqian and Nan Baolin. I didn’t find any secret signs they left. They must have been delayed on the way and haven’t arrived yet.”

"When we arrive at Qianyandu where we agreed to meet, we will wait for them for three more days."

"That Wuya Lake is so big that you can't see the edge at a glance. It's very windy and rough in winter, so you have to cut down trees to make a row upstream from the lake. There are also water monsters in the lake. I'm afraid it won't be easy to cross."

"The lake is thousands of miles away, and there is no wind and three feet of waves. There are many small islands in the lake where you can rest and rest. When the time comes, Fairy Xianfeng will show off her skills and catch a water demon to pull a raft for us. We can ride the wind and waves. It's so majestic. "

Xu Yuanchang joked and walked towards the riverside.

The hard journey is never easy, it takes luck and strength.

Liu Xianfeng didn't want to be fooled. Don't expect her to fly in the air to pull the boat. Xu Daoyou was so bad that he even tricked his own people. She was a lady. She smiled and said, "Don't you have two fox spirits as soul pets and let them go into the water?" Pushing the raft is fast and steady."

The rabbit in the ring space heard Wuya Lake, jumped out of the nest of the colorful crystal stone, and shouted:
"Under Wuya Lake lies the former super Shinto sect Wuya Sect. I know the location of Wuya Sect's mountain gate and back mountain treasure house. I will teach you how to break the Shinto formation and find the treasure along the way. The Wuya Sect back then used the Qingjing Stone Paving roads and building walls with Chaoyang jade is so extravagant that after all these years, there should still be some remnants left, which are rare good things for you." Xu Yuanchang was unmoved and refused: "I won't go."

"Why? I'm doing this for your own good. Don't miss it if you pass by. It won't waste much time."

Rabbit kept trying to convince his boss.

During that war, he hid in the distance and watched the excitement. Since then, Shinto has turned from prosperity to decline. However, he was caught and suppressed after two thousand years of leisure.

Xu Yuanchang was hesitant in his heart, too lazy to expose the lies about who the rabbit was for.

It is impossible to boil a frog in warm water and constantly give him benefits to make him relax his vigilance.

He is at odds with the legendary rabbit who does all evil.

"Wow, Aunt Liu, brother Shanlang, come and see, I picked up a quiet stone."

From the other side of the river beach, Meng Yiyi screamed excitedly after finding the treasure.

She didn't know the quiet stone, so she picked it up as a blue-white stone, but her aunt knew the goods and made the little girl jump up and down with joy. I heard it was valuable.

"Ah? You really picked up something good."

Liu Xianfeng floated over quickly.

She also picked up two Quiet Stones back then, and gave them to the young master in exchange for many benefits.

The rabbit in the ring space immediately shouted: "What? I told you there was a quiet stone. Those things were everywhere back then, and there must be a lot of them in Wuya Lake."

Xu Yuanchang walked toward the three of them, not wanting to talk to the rabbit. He suddenly turned his head and looked northeast, seeing two black spots flying from the direction of the mountains.

Before he could remind him, Meng Caiqin and Liu Xianfeng both noticed.

Liu Xianfeng took the jujube-sized Jingjing Stone and disappeared.

Meng Yipai became anxious. She hadn't had enough fun yet, so he came to snatch her things again.

"Bad Aunt Liu, please pay me back quickly."

"Someone is coming, you go and hide under the tree."

Meng Caiqin warned the little girl in a low voice.

She should not be careless at any time. According to the classics she had read, the second half of the painstaking journey through the Infinite Mountains was the most dangerous time.

Those who took advantage of the situation to rob, those who ambush for revenge, and those from other dynasties who secretly caused mischief, all kinds of strange things.

"There's an ambush by the river!"

Xu Yuanchang shouted, and three cold lights shot out.

The flying knife broke through the air and shot towards the sudden surge of water by the river.

Just now, their attention was attracted by the monks flying from the northeast.

The thief lurking in the river quietly attacked Meng Yi, who was ten feet away. A slight fluctuation in mana was detected by Xu Yuanchang, who was very perceptive. He had no time to intercept the attack and immediately counterattacked the insidious thief.

Meng Caiqin noticed something was wrong, so she stepped forward to block Meng Yiyi.
"Bang", a wave of transparent water hit the back of Meng Caiqin, who suddenly burst into glory, and a huge cold mist sprayed out.

Meng Yiyi was too confused to react. She flew like a cloud in the direction of a small red willow tree twenty feet away. Her aunt used her skill to throw her out while resisting the attack.

A red willow branch appeared out of thin air, curling around Meng Yi and dragging it faster, avoiding several sharp light blue ice needles flying out of the cold mist.

With Meng Yiyi's low level of cultivation, any casual blow will kill him.

Liu Xianfeng was furious. She placed the dizzy little girl under the tree, blew out a breath of green air, made a hand in her hand and shouted softly: "Get up!"

Countless roots sprouted from the sand on the river beach, and small red willow trees grew rapidly, surrounding Meng Caiqin who staggered forward after receiving the blow, and the roots continued to extend towards the river.

In just a short moment, a thirty-foot radius was covered with small trees.

Yingying's wood energy permeates the air, and a single tree becomes a forest. It is her most powerful defense and a means of large-scale attack.

The three magic weapons and flying knives that Xu Yuanchang took hastily were dissolved by the sudden surge of water and swept into the bottom of the water.

He had already flown into the air, and shot three flying knives again from a high position, two fast and one slow. The flight trajectory was slightly different from the previous time, and it looked like a flexible fish swimming in the air with its tail wagging.

They ignored the flying sword and spell attacks launched by the two people flying rapidly from the northeast, three miles away.

He has already made up his mind to kill the guy hiding in the water first.

It's so hateful that he used insidious means to plot against a child.

Above the tamarisk forest, which is beginning to take shape, the wood energy hovers like clouds, making a sharp "chirp" sound. The inch-long wood air blades are densely covered like a sky and earth net, intercepting the flying swords and a ball of sharp golden light.

There was a burst of explosions like exploding beans.

The sharp golden light broke into pieces and disappeared without a trace within a moment.

The flying sword rushed left and right, trying to carve a way out of the trap.

However, there were too many wooden air blades, and the wood air cloud below was still shooting out new wooden blades.

Liu Xianfeng shouted: "Get down here."

"Pa", a branch flashed out of thin air and hit the flying sword that had lost speed from top to bottom. The branch was broken, and another branch then appeared and whipped, once, twice and three times, forcefully knocking the flying sword down into the woods. Countless The roots entangled the violently struggling flying sword and dragged it into the ground.

"Attack with fire and burn the trees!"

The man in gray who lost his flying sword in the air shouted angrily.

They no longer care about dealing with Xu Yuanchang, and instead focus on attacking the mangroves below that are still growing.

The river surged and rushed out of a huge water column, splitting into three waves to try to block the flying knife.

With two "Puff" sounds, the first two flying knives penetrated the waves with subtle force, and then destroyed half of the water column, revealing a hidden figure in black.

The third flying knife sank close to the water surface, followed one after another, and stabbed the black shadow with a sharp scream.

The huge force pierced the black shadow's chest and took it out of the water.

Xu Yuanchang's consciousness moved slightly, and the three flying knives turned over the river, and once again killed the heavily injured black figure that was dancing and making weird "ho ho" sounds.

The water on the river rose several feet high, and jade was splashed by flying beads.

He suddenly realized something was wrong. The black figure was pierced through the chest by a flying knife, and there was no trace of blood flowing.

What he hit was a dead thing, a puppet controlled by someone.

He stepped back with his left foot, swerved to the right, and performed the Great Breaking Fighting Technique that had become almost instinctive. His body was light and strange, and he moved up and down in a three-step, nine-step pattern. Without any delay, he escaped. The transparent flying blades of water droplets shot out from the splashing water attack.

There is another person hiding in the river.

Maybe there's a second one, waiting to deliver the fatal blow?
The puppet was thrown out to attract him.
