Chapter 504 The Nun

The courtyard is not big, and the fence is not high, so it can be seen from the outside.There are two houses inside, all of which are made of local materials and built with giant wood. The splicing is meticulous, simple but not rough.Out of politeness, Yu Ci and the others didn't go in, seeing You Rui looking for someone inside, it was strange that no one responded.

You Rui looked around in and out of the house, but she didn't find anyone, but she didn't seem too surprised: "It seems she's gone out, but she won't be too far away, why don't we go to the village first?"

Yu Ci had nothing to do, and nodded in response.

The group of people turned inside again, and after walking for a while, Yu Ci suddenly felt a little strange, the color of the black moon in the sky seemed to be a little lighter, but upon closer inspection, it turned out to be a deep purple.

Lu Qing soon explained to him that it is said that due to the rise and fall of the sun and the moon, there is no fixed number for the strength of the formation. As the core, the color of the black moon will change, and it will be black when it is in the best state. The three 'colors' are purple, yellow, and silver in turn.Also because of this reason, there is no obvious boundary on the periphery of the black moon ring array, and the range is also like the tide, which fluctuates from time to time.

"However, when it comes to the core, there is no dispute." While speaking, Yu Ci had already heard the low sound of water, which seemed to be the sound of "swooshing" as water waves patted the shore.

"This is Black Moon Lake. This underground lake covers an area of ​​about a thousand hectares, with different depths. It is divided into dozens of blocks by sandbars. Because of the black moon formations, the scenery is unique in the Northern Wilderness." Lu Qing introduced softly, "The core area of ​​the Black Moon Ring Array is on the lake, and the villages are also distributed among them."

Underground lake...

Yu Ci stood on the shore, his face was a little delicate.The cultivation world is vast and boundless, and he has seen the surface of this lake ten times or a hundred times before, but it is quite impressive that a lake of this size appears underground.It's just that his face changed, not just because of that.

Ever since approaching the lake, the Illuminating Diagram has been strongly disturbed, and it no longer takes shape. Yu Ci estimates that within a radius of fifty miles, there are at least five or more weak steppers, and their energies conflict with each other. This density is too exaggerated, or there is simply a real-life master?

Yu Ci's heart was awe-inspiring: "Who is the owner of this place?"

You Rui responded: "The Black Moon Ring Array was built in one calamity. According to legend, it was built by a real immortal to save the calamity, but something went wrong and disappeared without a trace. For a while, this place was completely unoccupied. Afterwards, there were Buxu strong people who liked the environment here one after another, and there were conflicts when they stayed here. After running in, it formed a situation of 'no occupation, no governance'. That is, anyone can come, but they only come here for cultivation and recuperation , no one can 'intervene' in the affairs of this place, of course, no one is allowed to interfere."

"It's so rare."

Yu Ci nodded, but he didn't know how tragic the "run-in" before this situation would be.

Looking at the lake from a distance, it looks dark due to the light, but in the palm of your hand, you can see that it is clear and transparent, and the water quality is excellent.With everyone's standards, it's not difficult to raise your breath to walk across the water, or even fly over it, but You Rui stopped this practice, and made a small half circle around to find a long stone bridge before letting them cross the lake.

"Heiyue Lake is soaked in the energy of the sun and the moon day and night. The flow of vitality is unusual, and people often practice in the lake. If they collide, they will not look good."

This is a more euphemistic way of saying it. In fact, it is worried that there may be a hidden dragon and a crouching tiger here, and it may offend some tricky guy.Yu Ci was a little strange, since she was so cautious, why did You Rui travel thousands of miles to come here?

A group of people walked on the stone arch bridge. Due to structural constraints, the bridge was actually connected to the shore and a nearby sandbar. There were a few small boats parked on the other side of the sandbar, which were the tools for passing on the lake.

Seeing that he had passed the top of the bridge, Yu Ci also saw how the locals steered the boats.I saw a small boat paddling across the lake and lightly passing through the space under the arch bridge, almost silently and very lightly.The man on the boat is really good at maneuvering the boat.

You Rui was startled, and blurted out: "Sister-in-law!"

The person on the small boat didn't respond at all, You Rui took a deep breath, and called again: "Master Miaoxiang, my old friend You Rui asks to see you."

Hearing this sound, the person on the small boat turned his head, and then the small boat turned and moved closer to the shore.

You Rui showed a look of joy on her face, she wouldn't go to the sandbar, she turned her head and walked back quickly, Yu Ci and Lu Qing looked at each other and followed behind, Lu Qing reminded: "Master..."

Yu Ci expressed his understanding.

When You Rui got off the bridge, the one who had just tied the cable, straightened up and walked ashore slowly.You Rui greeted again: "Master Miaoxiang..."

The man stopped and looked this way.Under low light, with Yu Ci's eyesight, he can see clearly.I saw that the person was of medium stature, wearing black clothes and a small hat, holding a rosary, and the area above the ear pinna under the brim of the hat was clean and hairless, he was actually a nun.

In fact, you can see this from You Rui's title, but after all, the Buddhism in the east of Tianrift Valley is not prosperous, so it is difficult for people to turn this corner for a while.

In a blink of an eye, he got closer, and Yu Ci saw that the nun's complexion was fair, and although her appearance was not as glamorous as You Rui's, she was quite elegant, especially her face was like a full moon, and her posture was dignified. Standing still with drooping eyes, holding a rosary in his hand, his air is very peaceful.

Is this the person You Rui traveled thousands of miles to join?

Thinking of You Rui's first address, Yu Ci couldn't help but have some thoughts in his mind, but thinking about it now is quite boring, You Rui has already stepped forward, maybe he wanted to make a more intimate gesture, but the nun glanced lightly, and let She could only stop five feet away, saluting like a ritual.

"Master Miaoxiang, disciple You Rui pays homage to me."

Then she smiled and introduced to both parties: "This is fellow Taoist Lu Dun, come with me..."

The wonderful match even saluted, and Yu Ci also called him "Master" with all the etiquette.At the same time, I found that this bhikkhuni didn't like to talk very much, and he was a person who cherished words like gold.

You Rui smiled and said: "You Daoist Lu has profound attainments in talisman and is proficient in the art of soul and mind. He is a first-class outstanding person. If he hadn't helped me come all the way east, my disciple might not have been able to get here."

These are the polite words You Rui said, Yu Ci is not so merciful, as for the talisman attainments, it is probably You Rui's impression of him, Yu Ci smiled wryly, this kind of reputation spread, as long as there is a caring person , it is not difficult to think of his previous identity as a "soul chasing", is it a side event?

You Rui didn't introduce Lu Qing and Kou Chu, the latter needless to say, as for the former, obviously Lu Qing's acting skills are not bad, along the way You Rui also regarded her as Yu Ci's close servant, so knowing that her cultivation is profound, she also No special introduction.

Both parties have completed the etiquette, You Rui naturally has a lot to say to Miao Xiang, and she is going to return to the courtyard, so she also invites Yu Ci to go with her.But Yu Ci thought that the small courtyard where Miao Xiang was located didn't seem like it could accommodate four or five people, and there was no need to keep coming and going, so she declined.

You Rui didn't insist, but she remembered something, first asked Miao Xiang to return, then asked Yu Ci to go aside, said with a smile: "After seeing Master Miao Xiang, brother Dao will see the end of his journey. According to the agreement, this A drop of sea soul jade 'liquid' belongs to Brother Dao."

She took out a mutton fat jade bottle and handed it to Yu Ci: "The best way to use it is to catalyze it into a mist and absorb it with Yinshen when you pass through the customs, so as to consolidate the root and clear the source, and get the most effective effect."

Yu Ci shook slightly, heard a crisp sound inside, uncorked the bottle again and checked, only to see a broad bean-sized particle at the bottom of the bottle, like a blue diamond, with hidden light.In the past few days, he heard Lu Qing talk about the shape of the sea soul jade 'liquid', knowing that this is a special method of preservation, so he was not surprised, so he nodded and put it away.

"As for sending the letter..." You Rui groaned for a while, and then said, "As for sending the letter, I still follow the preface, as long as Brother Dao helps me deliver the letter to Mr. He and get back the token, the ghost king will lock you up." The ring belongs to Dao brother, I don't know what brother thinks?"

"This is..."

To be honest, Yu Ci was most interested in the three treasures that You Rui took out, and that was the Ghost King lock ring, and the others were just a way to earn extra money along the way.

As a special Tiancheng secret treasure, the ghost king lock ring is the capital of life-saving at critical times.However, You Rui's request really makes people suspicious. As long as you spend a little money, there are a lot of people who will do it. In terms of risk, it is actually no more than Yu Ci, a person who is "uncontrollable". Where to go, why don't you keep an eye on this one?

Besides, Yu Ci also had an idea in his mind: After the battle between the two immortals last time, whether that Mr. He is alive or not is a matter of choice.When the news of Xia Shuanghe's death came back, it was not known whether You Rui had confirmed the news.

You Rui also said: "In order to win the trust of Mr. He and give him a token, I have to make some preparations. Brother Dao, can you wait for three to five days?"

Yu Ci didn't want to give her a letter, and said lightly: "It depends on the situation, if I was still in Black Moon Lake at that time."

***********

It is said that news can always run faster than human legs. In Black Moon Lake, Yu Ci finally believed it.

A group of people entered this prosperous area, but found that the popularity of the village was far less than what Lu Qing and You Rui said. The news has spread here and there.

Black Moon Lake is originally the transfer station for monks in the underground forest in the Northern Wilderness. More than [-]% of the monks here are people who have been hunting for treasures, hunting, and robbing in the forest all year round. How can they resist the temptation of the news?

Overnight, the population of the village decreased by [-]% - the extra [-]% was for doing business nearby.

"It's been reduced by [-]%...the master didn't even move?"

The peddler who was asked by him responded lazily: "Master, oh, you said those masters! They moved, why didn't they move? Those few walked faster than anyone else, they walked directly from the sky, tsk, This is Buxu strongman!"

"Huh?" Yu Ci took another look at the picture of the gods, seeing that the picture was still disturbed, he couldn't help being surprised, how many masters are hidden in this Black Moon Lake?Or maybe a big one?It doesn't look like much, and the interference is not that severe.

"Immortal Immortal? Impossible, Black Moon Lake is a good place, but how can Immortals come to Beihuang? They are just passing through."

The peddler shook his head violently: "I've been here for three or forty years, and I've never heard of such a big shot. My lord, you're asking about Changsheng Daoist just by chance? Let me tell you, don't be in Beihuang, here is a The scum waiting to die, hey, don't look, I am too!"

Convinced, Yu Ci smiled and said goodbye to this interesting peddler, and at the same time spent some money as a friendship.

It was already the second day at Black Moon Lake, and when the black moon was at the head, it was the time when the aura in the formation was the strongest, and it was also a good time to practice.When he arrived at the pier of the village, Yu Ci untied a boat and went to the lake.

Only after reaching the surface of the lake, in the west, a very distant target sent back vague information.
