Chapter 167 Mountainside

"Oh, where?"

Yu Ci raised his head to look, the deafening sound was still there, but in the blue sky, except for a few white clouds, there was nothing obstructing the eyes anymore.

"It's too early to see. Now it's time to dock the Yihaiyunzhou and the mooring array at the pier. It will take at least a quarter of an hour to get it right. We can't get too close during this time, so let's walk back slowly."

Yu Ci nodded, watching the middle-aged man deftly sprinkle 'medicine' powder on the hawk and ape's body and surroundings to cover up his blood. Ten miles away, Yihaiyunzhou Wharf poses a threat.

After everything was done, Yu Ci took the initiative to pick up the body of the eagle and monkey, and returned with the middle-aged man.

On the way, he raised his head again, only to see that the few white clouds in the sky had dispersed amidst the rumble, and the blue sky was as clear as water, without any blemishes.However, he knew that there was a colossal creature residing in the sky beyond the reach of his eyesight, emitting a powerful shock wave and connecting with the pre-set rune array on the ground.

It's already the second month since he came to Yishan Yunzhou Wharf, and Yu Ci is beginning to get familiar with the affairs on the wharf.

Yishan Yunzhou Wharf is said to be a wharf. In fact, there are no rivers or seas around it, but surrounded by mountains. It seems that the name does not match the reality, but it is indeed the place where Yishan Yunzhou picks up passengers and supplies.When Yu Ci first arrived, he was also very confused, and he only understood it under the guidance of Zhao Xiqiao, the middle-aged man around him.

What kind of ship, there is what kind of dock.

The mountain-moving cloud boat is the largest means of transportation that is well-deserved in the practice world. It was built by Datongxing, one of the largest merchants in the world. It is larger than the mountains and floats in the sky. Boundary from east to west, north to south, and various territories.

Due to size and design limitations, Yishan Yunzhou is more like a floating city that will never sink. It can only float and fly at a certain height in the sky, and it is difficult to take off and land freely.In this way, the work of picking up and dropping off personnel and goods is completed by the "Shuttle for Picking and Leading Clouds" attached to the Yishan Yunzhou.

The wharf where Yu Ci is located is actually the place where Yun Shuo is guided and placed.

The two carried the body of the hawk and ape and walked through the mountains and forests.In fact, the wharf was over the mountain, but the two of them walked down the mountain, and found a rock nearly ten feet high. Yu Ci turned the mechanism, and the rock slid sideways, and there was a hole where the two could walk side by side. After the two entered, it closed automatically again, and the light dimmed, but the pearl lights on both sides can still provide lighting.

Most of the rumbling sound outside was cut off, only the tremors could still be heard faintly. Yu Ci and Yu Ci walked along the opened corridor, Zhao Xiqiao shook his head and said, "I don't know when the rift valley will be completely disturbed this day. Calm down, live in a place where the sun is out of sight all day, even if you don't get eaten by monsters, you will still be suffocated to death!"

The voice echoed muffled in the corridor, Yu Ci hummed, but did not speak.

The space where the two of them were located was opened up in the middle of the mountain, and it was quite spacious, but it was really inconvenient.

In the past, the people on the pier did not live here, but built a house on the other side of the mountainside, living a very comfortable life.After the turmoil in the Tianrift Valley, fierce beasts and demons were rampant, so they had to move in here. Some complaints are really normal.

Not long after walking in the corridor, the front was slightly open, and at the same time, there was a layer of bluish-white light that was different from the lights, and Zhao Xiqiao called out from a distance: "Brother Zhou..."

The sound echoed in the mountain belly, and the blue-white light flashed in front of it again, and then disappeared.

After crossing this level of restriction, going up a few more steps and entering through the door, there is a huge stone room.Arranged according to the appearance of the hall, with tables and chairs and other things placed, the shape is still quite exquisite, and the light inside is much brighter than that of the corridor. The pearly light of the lighting is so bright that it is really eye-catching.

Both Yu Ci and Zhao Xiqiao were startled, and then saluted together: "Masters."

The man still drank his tea, ignored him and left the two of them alone.

Zhao Xiqiao blinked at Yu Ci, bowed his body and said with a smile: "Masters, let's go down and deal with the hunting...uh, pick up the shuttle!"

He changed his words temporarily, but it was too late, and with a bang, the bald-headed veterans smashed the hot teacup with water at his feet, and the fragments splashed all over the place: "Children of the Zhao family, if I see you molesting Yu boy again... If you go hunting, I will break your legs!"

Zhao Xiqiao was taken aback, but fortunately he was the most tactful, took a step back, and said with a smile: "Yes, yes, if you always see me and Brother Yu going out hunting, you will break my legs, one will do, and the other will do." Don't bother you, kid, do it yourself!"

He bowed his waist and quickly backed away. Before he left, he still gave Yu Ci a wink, which probably meant "I can't help you". Yu Ci smiled and threw the eagle and monkey's body to him.

After drinking Zhao Xiqiao away, the bald-headed elders faced Yu Ci again. Apart from his bald head, he also didn't have half of his eyebrows and beard on his face.He rolled his eyes and said with a sneer:

"Are all the juniors of the Lichen Sect reckless?"

Yu Ci was about to open his mouth, but the elders immediately reprimanded him: "I was entrusted by your temple master to heal you, not for you to seek death! You have just recovered from a serious injury, and it is the time when all evils are invading. You don't want to rest. But practicing swords and killing creatures all day long, accumulating evil spirits... Hey, if you say you are evil and heretics, it’s fine, but you are still cultivating orthodox Xuanmen, you think that there are not enough demons breeding, huh?"

With the uplifting tone and ferocious features, the bald-headed elders have interpreted the word "vicious" to the extreme.But Yu Ci still held his breath, didn't say much, just smiled and said yes.

Seeing his attitude, Zhu Lao wanted to get angry again, but he thought about the result of the reprimand during this period, so he was discouraged again, so he could only cheer up, gave a bah, and waved Yu Ci to leave.

Yu Ci was neither humble nor overbearing, and saluted like a ritual, said "All the elders have worked hard", and turned to the back of the hall.

Looking at Yu Ci's back, Zhu Lao's emotional face just now gradually calmed down.He touched his smooth chin, scratching it unconsciously, the confusion in his heart was like a spreading cloud, getting thicker and thicker.

"How did this kid do it?"

Yu Ci had dealt with all the elders, and walked through the corridors of various compartments in the mountainside with ease.As the center of Yishan Yunzhou Wharf, the mountainside is divided into five areas, with two floors above and below.

The upper level is the heart of the pier and is divided into two parts.One is the core of the mooring array docked with Yishan Yunzhou, where there are complex and subtle talismans and magic circles, which are the top priority of the entire pier.Datong sends monks to garrison all the year round, and is also responsible for dealing with some common problems of the mooring formation; the second is the residence of the resident personnel at the dock.Since most of the time the resident personnel live in the house on the mountainside, this place is conveniently a bit cramped.

At this time, Yu Ci passed through the residential area and entered the central area of ​​Bozhen.

Zhao Xiqiao had been waiting for him here.Since he has received quite a few similar reprimands in the past two months, he didn't bother to mention what happened just now, he just smiled and said, "Brother Yu, come here, I'll take you to see the person who guides the flying shuttle." Mystery, you have been here for two months, and this is the first time I met you, I will see you next time, but it will be three months later!"

As he spoke, he pushed open the door of the stone room next to him, and when the two entered the room, they met one person head-on.When Zhao Xiqiao saw him, he called out:

"Brother Zhou, you have caused me a lot of trouble. You are the one on duty in the hall today, why did Zhu Lao come here instead?"

"You can't blame me. Zhu Lao finished his closed-door training and saw that Brother Yu was gone. He thought on his knees and knew what you were doing. He wants to block you. What can I do?"

The person who talked to Zhao Xiqiao, surnamed Zhou and named Hu, was a big man with a beard and a rough face, but he had a good temper.This person is one of the monks stationed here by Datongxing, but he is not in charge of mooring the formation, but is the guard of the elders in front.

Counting Yu Ci, there are only five permanent staff at Yishan Yunzhou Wharf.Among them, Zhu Lao, Zhou Hu, and Yan Hao who is 'manipulating' the Bo formation in the middle are all monks of Datongxing, and they can be regarded as the masters of this place.Zhao Xiqiao is not a member of Datongxing, but he also belongs to Sanxitang, one of the largest merchants in this world. He stays here and uses the transportation of moving mountains and boats to open a shop and do some buying and selling of rare items.

Zhao Xiqiao didn't really care about it either, he must be extremely shrewd and tactful to be able to register in Sanxitang and run a store here independently, just complaining, he also took a look at Zhou Hu's temperament, just making a joke.At this moment, he changed the subject and asked about picking up the shuttle:

"How many are here?"

"It says 34. Hey, the more 'chaotic' the Sky Rift Valley is, the more lively it is here. Shopkeeper Zhao, Gong Xi Fa Cai!"

Zhao Xiqiao shook his head: "During this time, too many people have come to hunt monsters and beasts, and the prices of similar materials have dropped. On the contrary, it is the 'medicine' materials that were worthless in the past, and now they are rising again and again...Three In 50 years, I’m afraid it’s impossible to fall back again.”

What he meant was that because of the cold tide in the valley, the species circle in a large area of ​​the rift valley was destroyed, and those raptors and beasts could still migrate for refuge, but the medicinal materials that were everywhere in the past were destroyed. It has become a rarity after the disaster of extinction.

When talking about business, Yu Ci didn't dare to be interested in it, and just looked at the interior layout.He has been to this place before, but when the flying shuttle arrived, many things here have changed.Under Zhao Xiqiao's gesture, Zhou Hu removed the curtain covering one side of the wall, revealing the round mirror hanging on it.

The diameter of the round mirror was about four feet, larger than any mirror Yu Ci had ever seen. At this moment, light and shadow flowed on the mirror surface.On the other side of the mountain, there is a valley surrounded by mountains.

When he first saw it, Yu Ci was amazed at how similar the function of this mirror was to his Bronze Mirror of Illuminating God.It was only later that I realized that this is a well-known spell in this world, called "Circle Light". Through pre-arrangement, it can project distant scenes. The situation of the main body of the central mooring array and the receiving and guiding cloud shuttle.

Receive and emit shock waves all the year round to echo the moving mountains and clouds, so that no grass can grow in the valley where the mooring array is located.At this time, there seemed to be a whirlwind blowing in the valley, and the sand at the bottom of the valley was being driven away.

"Here we come!" Zhao Xiqiao laughed.

Yu Ci opened his eyes wide, the scene displayed by the round light technique in the mirror was also under Zhou Hu's control, and moved to the sky, where a red cloud slowly settled down.
