Big dreamer

Latest website: Outside Wuzhuang Temple, on the stone steps winding down the mountain.

Shen Luo did not fly directly in the air, but walked slowly down the mountain with his hands behind his back, feeling the gentle mountain breeze along the way, and thinking about the gains and losses of this trip to Wuzhuang Temple in his mind.

Originally, the ginseng fruit tree could be revived, and the matter could be settled, but the involvement of Shituo Ridge made Shen Luo a little uneasy, so he planned to go to Shituo Ridge before heading to Tianji City.

Firstly, I wanted to explore the situation of the Yin and Yang cylinders, and secondly, I also wanted to meet Fu Donglai.

Ever since the Three Realms Martial Arts Tournament, Fu Donglai had returned to Shituoling, saying that he wanted to investigate the appearance of the Demonic Void Earth Dragon in the secret realm. After he left, the two of them lost contact.

In addition, Shen Luo also wanted to know the results of his investigation.

He always felt that there seemed to be no connection between these things, but there seemed to be a hidden thread connecting them internally.

"Brother Shen..." While he was thinking about it, a female voice suddenly came from behind Shen Luo.

Accompanied by a pleasant sound of silver bells.

"Miss Man'er, don't you plan to stay a few more days?" Shen Luo asked in surprise. .

"Brother Shen, I changed my mind and decided to go to Yunmengze first." Wu Man'er caught up and said with a smile.

"Yun Mengze?" Shen Luo muttered to himself.

"I hope you can accompany me." Wu Man'er said bluntly.

Shen Luo was stunned when he heard this, a little surprised.

He subconsciously wanted to refuse, because the most important thing for him right now was to go to Tianji City and find a way to repair the jade pillow.

Going to Shituoling is just a way to go.

As for Yun Mengze, it was obviously not within the scope of his plan.

"Is there any danger in going to Yunmengze?" But just when he was about to say the rejection, the words he spoke changed.

"I don't know either." Wu Man'er shook her head in embarrassment.

Then, she added: "I have never been there before, I just heard from my master that it is a swamp that is almost as big as the ocean."

"Why do you want to go there?" Shen Luo asked doubtfully.

"Brother Shen, do you still remember why I came to Wuzhuang Temple?" Wu Maner blinked and asked.

Shen Luo frowned slightly and nodded.

Of course he remembered that Wu Man'er sneaked out of the sacred forest and came to Wuzhuang Temple in order to obtain the original juice of the ginseng fruit tree.

"It is said that deep in Yunmengze, there is also a sacred ginkgo tree. It is tens of thousands of years old. It is also bred with spiritual liquid. I want to go and collect some to strengthen the ban on the sacred tree of my tribe. This may reduce the riots of demon souls. The number of attacks will also reduce the number of casualties among the clan members," Wu Man'er said with his eyes shining slightly.

Hearing this, Shen Luo suddenly felt a twinge of guilt in his heart.

Wu Man'er had just helped save the ginseng fruit tree, which was a great kindness to Shen Luo, but it was really unreasonable for him to subconsciously refuse her request for help.

"Brother Shen, what's the trouble? If you have something urgent to attend to, just leave it at that. It's okay for me to go alone." Seeing the hesitation on Shen Luo's face, Wu Man'er said hurriedly and guiltily.

Seeing this, Shen Luo smiled and said:

"Forget it, it's not a particularly urgent matter. I will accompany you to Yunmengze first. I have seen it in a book before. There is a saying about Yunmengze that 'the clouds are steaming and the clouds are bright and the weather is thousands of things'. This time it happens to be true. Give it a chance to verify it.”

"But..." Wu Man'er hesitated.

"It's nothing but. You helped me save the ginseng fruit tree earlier and avoided the conflict between the Tang Dynasty government and Wuzhuang Temple. This time I accompany you to Yunmengze to return a favor to you." Shen Luo said with a smile. .

"I helped save the ginseng fruit trees out of selfish motives..." Wu Man'er said a little embarrassed.

"I don't care about this. I have to repay the favor anyway, but if you don't want to, then I won't force it." Shen Luo said pretending not to care.

"Of course I am willing." Upon seeing this, Wu Man'er said quickly.

"That's good, shall we set off immediately?" Shen Luo asked.

"Okay." Wu Man'er smiled and nodded immediately.

Shen Luo also put away all his thoughts, and the two of them flew into the sky in a flying boat.

…

A few months later.

Outside Yunmeng Ze, there is a small border town on the edge of the water.

The gate of the small city was open, and there were only a dozen or so soldiers with crooked armor stationed on both sides inside and outside. You could tell that the defense was loose.

Just outside the gate of the city, there is a quite lively street.

It was the early morning market at this time, and the streets were lined with simple straw mats. Fruits and vegetables were placed on the straw mats. The vendors behind the straw mats were shouting at the top of their lungs to greet business.

Walking a little further inward, there are shops and restaurants scattered here and there. Except for some doing early business, most of them are half-open and have not officially opened yet.

But there are many people rushing to the morning market on the street. Among the many leisurely figures, a tall man in a green robe is walking side by side with a beautiful woman in a blue cloth skirt. He is quite different from the residents of the small town and stands out among the crowd.

Especially the bright silver jewelry on the woman's body always makes a crisp "ding" sound when she walks. In addition, her bright and attractive appearance attracts the attention of many pedestrians along the way.

Naturally, they were Shen Luo and Wu Man'er who were preparing to go to Yunmengze.

Wu Man'er didn't pay attention to the curious looks of passers-by. In other words, she was also curiously looking at the passers-by and all the furnishings on the street.

Having grown up in the sacred forest, she learned almost everything she knew about the outside world from her mother-in-law and her master.

When I came out for the first time, I also flew directly to Wuzhuang Temple by flying in the air. I also chose some high mountains, dense forests, and inaccessible places to rest along the way. I had never taken the initiative to enter a densely populated city like now.

So everything she saw around her had a different kind of attraction to her.

In fact, Shen Luo discovered this easily on their way here and specially took her to stay in several cities for a short stay.

But even so, Wu Man'er still finds it extremely novel every time he visits a new city.

However, the two of them entered this small town today not to satisfy Wu Man'er's curiosity, but to buy something necessary for entering Yunmeng Ze.

The two of them walked along the street into the city. The farther they went into the inner city, the deserted the streets became.

"Brother Shen, can you really buy street lamps in a small town like this?" Wu Man'er asked a little doubtfully.

"Don't underestimate a small town like this. As the saying goes, you can eat mountains if you rely on mountains, and you can eat water if you rely on water. This small town is close to Yunmengze. The reason why it has been able to stand for thousands of years actually relies on Yunmengze's geographical convenience. Whether it is entering Yunmengze Rogue cultivators who seek opportunities in Mengze, as well as sect monks who come here to practice, will rest here. As a must-have item for entering Yunmengze, there are naturally places for sale in the city." Shen Luo said with a smile. .
