Chapter 45

360?

Knowing Yu Ci's doubts, the old Taoist explained: "The ichthyosaur has been sent to the mountain, and Senior Brother Lu is very satisfied. He almost gave up. Your ichthyosaur is really timely, so he is willing to pay more. Twenty percent, a total of 360 merits. You have to keep this brand, and it will be more convenient to trade in the sect."

Next to him, Baoguang heard that Yu Ci had made another sixty good deeds in a blink of an eye, he was speechless, and looked at Yu Ci with admiration in his eyes.

The increased good deeds are a surprise.But Yu Ci was also reminded, after thanking him, he said: "My boy, I have been bothering you in the temple for many days, now that everything is over, I will bid farewell to the temple master."

"Oh? So urgent?"

Yu Ci laughed: "The road to immortality is long, and walking is difficult. If you can rest for a few days, you are already lazy."

Although these words are suspected of "talking people when you see people, talking nonsense when you see ghosts", it is indeed what he thought in his heart, only a little modification, but it is still considered sincere, and the veteran nods his approval:

"At such a young age, I also know the urgency of seeking immortality, which is great. But how about you?"

Yu Ci pondered for a while, but still told the truth:

"To tell you the truth, the boy still has some experience in finding herbs. The last time I found Ichthyosaurs, it was not just luck. I have seen it in Tongde Hall in the past few days, but there is no news of good deeds. Ichthyosaur grass is also worth five merits, and natural things may be higher. In this way, I want to return to the Rift Valley, or I can find enough 'medicine' herbs before winter. If it doesn't work, I will If you get some news about asking for the special products of the Tianrift Valley, if you can do it, you can also do it along the way."

In fact, there is another reason besides this, that is, if he didn't say anything, the old Taoist should also understand that as Jinchuan and Kuangyan set off for the gate of the Lichen Sect the day before yesterday, the eyeliner who has been lingering outside the Taoist temple for the past few days has withdrawn yesterday Now, although I don't know what the White Sun Mansion is thinking, but if I don't leave now, when will I stay?

But the old man's reaction was a little strange.After staring at him for a while, he suddenly burst out laughing.This sudden laughter made Yu Ci quite astonished: "Why is the temple master laughing?"

The old Taoist smiled and pointed at him, then at himself: "You and I are destined!"

What do you mean?

When Yu Ci was puzzled, he saw the old Taoist take out a piece of jade slip and handed it over: "Just in time, I have a few 'medicines', which are special products of the Tianrift Valley, and they are not available anywhere else. I would like to ask you to help find them."

Glancing at the very happy old Taoist, Yu Ci's spiritual thoughts penetrated into the jade slip, and he saw that there were six kinds of "medicine" materials listed in it, each with detailed illustrations, the images were lifelike, and the explanations were also extremely detailed, including The habit of the 'medicinal' grass, the possible growth location, the method of picking, and whether there are fierce beasts and poisonous insects guarding it, etc.

This information is so detailed that no one can say anything.Yu Ci originally planned to pick other 'medicine' herbs along the way in exchange for good deeds, and this request did not conflict, so naturally he had no reason to refuse.But he still doesn't understand one thing: "Although the sky rift valley is vast, it is also for us younger generations. With the ability of Guanzhu, with such detailed information, why don't you pick it yourself?"

"The Sky Rift Valley is different from other places. The Lichen Sect and the Sunset Sect set up a 'Stopping Monument', and monks above the level of Huandan are not allowed to enter the valley, and I am naturally no exception."

Yu Ci was confused: "Why is this?"

The old Taoist responded with a question: "Do you know what kind of place is below the Sky Rift Valley?"

Why are these words so familiar?Yu Ci wanted to laugh, but managed to hold back, but he still said, "Could it be Hell and Yellow Spring?"

The old Taoist laughed: "Although it's not in the middle, it's not far away. That's not the Underworld Underworld in the legends of mortals, but a very similar and even more dangerous place. Practitioners call it the Blood Hell Ghost Mansion."

Yu Ci's heart skipped a beat, he had heard this name before.Thinking about it carefully, it was said from the mouth of Fairy Ye Binnv at the top of the Tianrift Valley that day, but he still doesn't know what's inside.

The old Taoist explained to him: "The so-called blood prison ghost mansion is the place where all the murderous aura in the world is condensed and transformed into reality. All of them are brutal and bloodthirsty, fighting each other in the blood hell ghost mansion, endlessly, in terms of cruelty, the so-called Huangquan Hell is beyond the reach of the world."

"That world does not have any water and land connection with the world here, but it is not completely unconnected. The world is vast, and some places occasionally feel hostility, tearing the void, and forming a corridor for communication on both sides. Valley is one, probably the largest one in the world.”

"Is there such a place between heaven and earth?"

After listening to the old Taoist's lecture, Yu Ci felt that his vision had broadened a lot. He thought for a while and asked, "So, the rumors of demons appearing in the Rift Valley are not groundless."

The old Taoist sighed: "This is not the case. You must know that the world you and I live in is very different from the Blood Hell Ghost Mansion. It is only natural for us to breathe in this world, but for the demons in the Blood Hell Ghost Mansion , maybe it is a deadly poison, and vice versa, which cuts off most of the communication between the two worlds.

"However, the Sky Rift Valley has a vast area and almost forms a realm of its own. There, the vitality of the heavens and the earth on both sides are mixed with each other. Slowly, some monsters adapt to the environment and grow in it. These monsters can freely travel between the two realms. Originally, this It's nothing, everything has its own birth control, and there are some natural alien species in the sky rift valley, which are sworn enemies with monsters, blocking their way to this side, so that this world will not be disturbed by monsters.

"However, 95 years ago, two great supernatural beings at the level of earth immortals fought fiercely in the valley, and the sky fell apart. In this area of ​​more than [-] miles, the middle and lower sections of the Sky Rift Valley are almost completely unrecognizable, and the monsters living at the bottom are minimally affected, and there are no natural enemies on their heads, so they are naturally ready to move."

Yu Ci's heart was shaken when he heard it, but what was more in his emotions was not fear, but an indescribable yearning.

In order to conceal his intentions, he said softly: "In the past few decades, haven't there been any evil spirits?"

"It was suppressed!"

The old Daoist sneered: "The two great immortals left after fighting, but they threw the trouble here. For the first 20 years after the war, the Sunset Sect here and on the opposite side had to mobilize more than half of their manpower every year, and even tens of millions of people In the past 20 years, many disciples of the sect fell in the rift valley, and the Sunset Sect even lost a real person, which can be called lost heavily.

"It's not enough to just intercept, but we have to do everything possible to migrate suitable species and rearrange the circle of species. This work did not come to an end until ten years ago. Otherwise, why do you think that with the strength of the sect, why did you ask the Bairi Mansion to help?" Collecting shrimp silk grass...that is, in the past few decades, the 'medicinal' herbs, minerals and other resources that can be found in the sky rift valley in the past have been exhausted, if it is not for the strong foundation of the mountain gate, the consequences will be disastrous!"

The old Taoist seemed to be full of resentment, he was very different from his usual self.Perhaps his relatives and friends died in this 20-year-long war?

Yu Ci guessed in his heart, and it was not easy to 'interrupt', but the old Taoist first realized that something was wrong with his emotions, so he chuckled: "I'm digressing, don't blame it, don't blame it!"

"It should be for the kid to gain insight. If it wasn't for the explanation from the temple master, would the kid know that there is such a world under the sun?" Yu Ci really hoped that the old man would talk more about this.

The old man was a little worried, and hurriedly explained the final reason: "I mentioned the newly-built species circle earlier. This circle was finally completed ten years ago. It can operate naturally and block the invasion of monsters. But after all, it was transplanted by force, and the foundation is very shallow. , maybe a casual action of people will destroy the overall balance, and by then, it is bound to be another trouble.

"That's why this sect and the sunset sect postponed the removal of the 'stopping stele' that prohibited people from entering the valley 95 years ago to prevent monsters from hurting people. They planned to open it up after decades when the circle of species was stable. But this is only The monks who are limited to the realm of returning alchemy, probably because only with that kind of cultivation, are likely to sink to the middle and lower sections of the Tianrift Valley and have an impact on the circle of species.

"In addition, we have another guess here. The Qi machine shoots too far for monks above Huandan, and their flesh, flesh and soul are great supplements to monsters. Some monsters can sense this from hundreds of miles away. If there is a swarm of breaths following the trail, the consequences will be worrisome, this is the most worrying thing!"

These monsters are really powerful!

Yu Ci couldn't help sighing, but this didn't have any effect on him, so he just listened to it.

After talking about the affairs in the Tianrift Valley, the old Taoist pointed to the jade slip: "These six medicinal herbs are rare, and none of them are easier to find than Ichthyosaurs, and I don't want you to take them all back at once, I just want to have a look at them." Your chance, do you understand?"

Yu Ci could hear that there seemed to be deep meaning in the old Taoist words.But it doesn't matter, Lao Daoming helped him a lot secretly in the matter of fish and dragons, he was distressed and didn't know how to express it, now he has this request to find the 'drug', which is exactly what he wants.

What's more, he has the ability to follow the god's plan, and the search range is as wide as fifty miles, reaching up to the sky and down to the earth. It is extremely difficult for others, but it is his forte.

"Please rest assured, the Lord." Yu Ci only said this, but it was more resolute than any guarantee.

The old Taoist was very happy with his attitude, and said again: "These medicinal materials are for overwintering, even if you haven't found enough fish dragon grass before winter comes, you don't have to rush back, you can stay for a while, See if you can gain something from this, it doesn't conflict with your business..."

He didn't mention the reward from the beginning to the end, Yu Ci felt more comfortable instead.To be honest, up to now, he has found it difficult to accept the good deeds transactions in Tongde Hall, which is very different from the practice world he imagined and yearned for.

After the official business was finished, the two chatted for a while. Yu Ci admired the old Taoist's swordsmanship skills very much, so he brought up the topic. Benefited a lot.

When the night darkened and he confirmed that he would leave tomorrow morning, Yu Ci finally left.Talking with the old Taoist, he became more and more friendly, which he was very happy to see, recalling what the old Taoist said about the mastery of swordsmanship, a few steps out of the gate, but someone called his name from behind, it was Baoguang who caught up from behind.

"Brother Yu, you keep this thing."

Unable to explain, Baoguang stuffed a stack of folded objects into Yu Ci's hands, and just by the soft touch, Yu Ci knew that it was Gui Shayun.

Yu Ci was startled, then looked over, the little Taoist was grinning, he couldn't tell whether it was heartache or laughter, it was very weird: "Since the time is tight, brother is going on the road with two legs, when can I reach the Rift Valley? Nothing else, long-distance travel is the best treasure, it will definitely save you most of the time. Just remember to return it to me when you come back!"

He pretended to be arrogant, which caused people to howl, but Yu Ci understood his intentions.

It's not just the old man who is worthy of deep friendship.

Yu Ci was silent for a moment, then laughed again, he patted Bao Guang on the shoulder, and kept everything in silence.
