The long fairy road is wonderful

Chapter 118 Good Stone Village

The practice of spells is no more than fists and minds, the movement is too big.

Therefore, Lin Tianci and the others have never been close to the official road during this period of time. They mainly choose sparsely populated places to quickly pass through. Even if they occasionally meet people, they only stay temporarily in small villages.

Although the speed is much slower than before because of the stop and go, but after all, he is a monk, so he is much faster than ordinary mortal merchants.

It's been more than a month of sleeping in the open air like this, let's talk about the results of practice...

I don't know if it has something to do with the Thick Earth Pill. Lin Tianci felt that the Flying Stone Curse of the Earth Walking Mantra is getting smoother and smoother, which is quite comparable to his most commonly used Fire Spirit Curse.

But the other spells of metal, water, and wood have progressed quite slowly, and their power may have improved a little, but they still don't feel smooth and silky when used.

The five-element mantra is easy to learn but difficult to master. Lin Tianci's progress is already quite fast, and this cannot be forced.

However, the practice of Aoxue Palm has achieved some results, once again demonstrating Lin's excellent talent in boxing skills and mental skills.

If he slapped the big tree with enough mana now, the bark would look like a layer of frost on the surface, but if he cut the big tree open, he could see that the inside was densely packed with crystal clear ice crystals.

Linglong was not bad either, she was originally a highly talented ghost cultivator, her weak combat power was mainly because she didn't like to learn how to fight the enemy, besides, she didn't have time for her master to teach how to fight the enemy.

She has practiced Anxiang Fist quite well. For example, hitting a big rock for half an hour. At first glance, the rock looks fine, but if you press it a little harder, the rock will collapse like tofu, and it will be full of Corroded into a honeycomb hollow.

The power of Aoxue Palm and Anxiang Fist looks very powerful, but after all, they have only practiced for a short time, and their power is still far from being brought into play.

It is not so easy to use against enemies, especially against monks, because monks have mana protection, whether it is Aoxue Palm or Dim Fragrance Punch, the effect will be greatly reduced, unless you play against them. Being ruthless may have a miraculous effect.

Speaking of it, why Yang Xiucai's mother hid the cheats instead of directly teaching Yang Xiucai to practice is somewhat confusing.

If you want Yang Xiucai to be a happy mortal for a hundred years, then there is no need to leave clues and keys in the Tang family, and there is no need to add an extra copy of Qijue to the cheat book.

If it is hoped that Yang Xiucai will embark on the path of practice, why not teach him carefully?Being taught by someone and holding on to a book by yourself are completely different things. Casual cultivators are far inferior to monks with teachers in this respect, and they have suffered a lot because of this.

Yang Xiucai's mother's move gave Lin Tianci a very contradictory feeling. Perhaps his mother was very contradictory about whether to teach Yang Xiucai to cultivate.

On the one hand, he couldn't bear to lose his unique skills, and on the other hand, he didn't want Yang Xiucai to be involved in the world of monks, so he could only resign himself to fate.

The reason for the speculation is mainly due to the issue of the exercises.

Both the Aoxue Palm and the Anxiangquan are very vicious methods. As the saying goes, if you use people as good, you will be good, and if you use people as evil, you will be evil. The magic weapon in the secret book is dead, and people are alive. Still human.

But it is precisely because we are human beings that everything exists.

If Yang Xiucai learns it, it will inevitably attract the prying eyes of some people with malicious intentions. The world of self-cultivation is calm and peaceful on the surface, but it is not really peaceful. People's hearts are sinister. Isn't there little blood shed for snatching the secret books?
Apart from this point, there are also many things that I can't figure out about the whole thing, such as where did Yang Xiucai's mother go, such as where did the possessed demon with a rather magical painting style come from, and where did he get the news of the secret book? Speaking of which, the cheats used by a demon to snatch a cultivator have a lot of holes in themselves!

However, these issues are basically unsolved cases, and Lin Xiaogeer said that he has no way to start, and there is no need for him to investigate.

Anyway, the master had been notified earlier, and it was not Lin's turn to worry about these things. I think the senior brothers and sisters would definitely check it out. It would be more reliable for Lin Tianci to continue his grand tour.

Zhang Baixi asked Lin Tianci to go to Qixia Valley. During this period of time, he was heading towards Qixia Valley.

After taking the marching pill for breakfast, Lin Tianci walked out of the dense forest with his bags on his back, and a wide river appeared in front of him.

The river is rippling with blue waves, and a few lighted lights can be vaguely seen on the river surface, which are fishermen fishing with ospreys hunting in the morning.

Looking in the direction from which the river flows, the green hills are dense, undulating, and the mountain walls look like they have been cut by knives and axes. The river passes under the peaks.

The other side of the river is a different scene. There are very few high mountains. Although there is thick mist blocking it, you can vaguely see the green land and neat farmland on the other side.

After walking for more than a month, and it was still a monk's footsteps, Brother Lin had already left the border of Yueguang Kingdom, and even came to the edge of Leizhou.

On the other side of the river is Quanzhou, a well-known and rich land of fish and rice in Eastern China, a really good place.But Brother Lin doesn't need to go there now, so let's not mention it.

The big river in front of him is called Ranjiang. Legend has it that a man of god split the spring, and the spring water gushed more and more quickly, and finally formed this big river spanning several states.

The authenticity of this legend has yet to be verified. This river was only called Ranjiang in Leizhou, and it had other names in other states, and its source was not in Leizhou, where the legend prevailed, but in a more Southwest Dashan.

The southwest mountain is the only area in Eastern China that has not been touched by civilization. Except for a few aborigines, there are almost no human traces there.

This is mainly due to the harsh natural conditions, numerous mountains and forests and extremely scarce arable land.

If it's just this, it can't stop the civilization's footsteps, and it's also because there are a lot of monsters and spirit beasts in the southwest mountains, as well as monsters called 'demons'.

Fortunately, the first two were recruited by the Demon Spirit Protection Association long ago. Although they were raised in the wild, they would not attack monks.

The biggest problem is those demons.

No one knows where these abominable monsters come from, they are completely irrational, unable to communicate, and they are inexhaustible.

The so-called Qixia Valley is actually not just a sect, but also a place name. It happens to be stuck on the passageway to and from the Southwest Mountain, and its purpose is to prevent these monsters from running out of the Southwest Mountain.

This also caused Qixia Valley's sect to be different from most practice sects. General sect disciples, such as Lin Tianci, most of the novice rookies who travel abroad have the least combat experience, while Qixia Valley is just the opposite.

Because they shoulder the responsibility of stopping the monsters, the cultivation path of their disciples is created, and they are the true combatants among the monks.

It is estimated that their martial arts trial is also very simple and rough, and it is painful, so Brother Lin is not very willing to go to Qixia Valley.

But it's a bit early to say these things now, because Qixia Valley is still far away.

Go upstream along the river, from early morning to noon, and from noon to afternoon.

Because the road Lin Xiaogeer is taking now is the official road, in order to avoid shocking the world, he didn't follow the wind, and measured the past step by step like an ordinary traveler.

The further he went to the southwest, the more he felt that this place was not suitable for living. The road he was walking on was called the official road, which was actually the riverbed of the Ran River. When the flood season came, it would be impassable at all, and even the traffic would be quite inconvenient.

It wasn't until Brother Lin walked to Maoshi 3:45 pm that he saw a tributary beside the Ranjiang River.

The water in this tributary is not deep, but it is very wide. Walk along the tributary until sunset, and finally see traces of human habitation.

A small village.

The village is surrounded by fences, and a wooden archway is erected at the main entrance, with the inscription "Good Stone Village".

——It’s really a simple and crude nomenclature.

Most of the names of villages and towns have meanings, and Haoshi Village is no exception.

The tributary on the edge of the village is very magical. Don't look at it, the water is not as deep as the calf. Except for being extremely wide, it is basically a stream.

As long as it gets dark at night, the water flow will become like a surging river, and the flow speed is extremely fast, boats and people cannot cross, and the water is extremely fierce.

But in the daytime, the water flow will slow down again, and the water quality will be crystal clear, slowly blending into the Ranjiang River.

If that was all, it would be a spectacle, but the ferocious currents of the night will bring the treasure of the mountain, a large pile of stones.

These stones are not ordinary stones. If you are lucky, you can get priceless top-quality jade from the stones. It is true that the output is not good, but in terms of quality, no one in the entire Eastern China can match it.

Therefore, in Haoshi Village, many wealthy businessmen with luxurious clothes come here to buy jade materials, and there are also many people who make a living from it.

When she went to Qingshui Village to help the old woman treat cold poison, she used to be a worker in Haoshi Village, trying to get rich overnight.However, after all, the rich are still a minority, soaking in the cold water all day long, and have suffered from many old cold legs and rheumatism.

Lin Tianci himself really has no pursuit of jade, otherwise he would have bought jade pendants and the like to wear with him. The only jade ornaments are the jade pendant on his neck and the warm jade ring on his hand, both of which have functions rather than pure decoration.

Compared with decoration, the first thing Lin Xiaogeer did when he entered Haoshi Village was to find the largest inn in the area, and then order a good dish.

Obviously eating is more important.

This month, eating and sleeping in the open, not to mention Brother Lin, even Linglong can't bear it.

As the saying goes, it is easy to go from frugality to extravagance, but it is difficult to go from luxury to frugality. Linglong used to be used to not eating in the body of a ghost when she was in the teacher's school. The problem also caused these two people to be particularly obsessed with eating.

In Haoshi Village, because most of the villagers make a living by panning stones, the weather is very cold and humid, so the food is very spicy.

The waiter in the shop brought up their signature dish, called fish in red soup, which tasted like boiled fish, and the soup was also fiery red.

Lin Tianci originally disliked this kind of simple spicy food, thinking that simple spicy food has no technical content, but just adding more peppers.

But the fish in red soup changed Brother Lin's opinion.

What is spicy and delicious?That is, you are clearly choked by the heat, but you still can't stop your chopsticks at all.

It's hot in the throat, and sweet in the stomach, making people want to stop.

Pair it with the local unique 'ice wine'. This wine is different from the usual warm wine. It must be drunk cold because it is too strong.

The cold wine immediately turned into a ball of fire when it entered the mouth, and the spiciness became more spicy, but it was delicious.

——I always feel that this book will become a gourmet series.
