Do not die

With a decision in his mind, Meng Zhou immediately left the cliff cave and entered the forest on the right.

Walking to a hidden place, Meng Zhou looked around, dug a hole in the ground with his long sword, threw a package in, and then filled it with soil. The ups and downs were the same as before, even the turf on the ground was no longer there. Restore.

In order to avoid the embarrassing situation that he himself could not find, he made some reminder signs in other places that only he could understand.

After dealing with all this, Meng Zhou set off again.

The objects wrapped in the pit were the first-order high-grade robe and the first-order high-grade flying sword obtained from Master Mo.

The reason why he did this was because he heard that the magical weapons of the children of the big family had some hidden backdoors or special auras that were difficult to detect. He was worried that bringing these two magical weapons into Jade Lake would bring disaster to him.

Now, in addition to carrying the spirit stone with him, he also has a long sword, eighteen crescent-shaped blades, and dozens of taels of gold. These are all trophies provided by the two casual cultivators who broke into the courtyard that night.

…

Five days later, in the evening.

There is no breeze, and the lake is like a mirror.

A tall figure walked on the water. Every time he took a step, he tapped his toes on the water, breaking through the clarity of the lake and making ripples appear, while the figure disappeared gracefully away.

Meng Zhou suddenly stopped and looked at a piece of land rising suddenly from the water in the distance, "It should be here."

The best part of the 800-mile Jade Lake is the Jade Island located in the central area. Several forces that dominate the Jade Lake, including the Mo family, are rooted here.

In addition, there are hundreds of islands, large and small, scattered in the lake. Baiyue Bay is one of them, so named because it looks like the crescent moon on the seventh and eighth day of the lunar month.

However, this can only be achieved by looking down from a high altitude. Meng Zhou was standing on the lake now, but he had no idea what the shape of the land in front of him was.

When he found this place, he made a long circuit and asked questions all the way. Otherwise, with his pace, it wouldn't have taken him five days to get here.

As we got closer, we gradually saw a curved white line between the water and the land, spreading out in our field of vision like a ribbon.

It was a beach made of fine white sand. Seeing this scene, Meng Zhou was shocked.

"This should be Yuewan Beach, right?"

According to the information he learned along the way, Yuewan Beach is a unique sight in Baiyue Bay.

The tip of Meng Zhou's right toe was just a little bit above the water, and his body jumped up lightly. The next moment, he landed on the white sand beach.

Meng Zhou closed his eyes for a moment, and when he opened them again, his expression showed a lot of surprise, like a traveler who had been trekking in the desert for too long and finally saw an oasis.

Reiki.

After leaving the quiet room in the small courtyard, he finally felt the rich spiritual energy again.

After looking at the sky, Meng Zhou didn't dare to delay and strode forward.

Just as I was about to walk out of the beach, I saw a rock that was less than two meters high but several miles long.

Surrounded by sand and soil, this rock rises abruptly, like a screen.

Seeing that there was a trail formed by people walking frequently in front of the rock, Meng Zhou started walking along the trail in order to find the people on the island as soon as possible.

Along the way, Meng Zhou discovered that the rock did not have any cracks or layers, but was a complete piece.

He couldn't help but think of an anecdote he had read in his previous life. The shortest mountain in the world was less than one meter. At first glance, he thought it was the product of another shocking editor scratching his head.

After understanding it carefully, I realized that I had misunderstood and understood the difference between mountains and rocks.

Mountains have roots, but rocks have no roots.

The above-ground part is less than one meter, but the underground part is likely to be thousands of meters deep, stretching even wider, and is firmly rooted in the earth.

"Could this also be a low mountain?" Meng Zhou speculated in his mind.

On this rock wall less than two meters high, Meng Zhou also saw a lot of graffiti, with high and low levels, some realistic, some impressionistic, and more lyrical. Perhaps no one except the graffiti artist himself You can understand what it depicts.

Moreover, new graffiti overwhelms old graffiti, and the older graffiti becomes darker and mottled in color, gradually blending into the rock wall itself.

Along the way, I could hardly find a clean rock wall without any human traces. From time to time, I also saw some carvings that were more resistant to the erosion of time.

This rock wall has been turned into a special message wall by the locals. While walking around, Meng Zhou looked at it and made wild guesses in his mind, which was quite interesting.

Suddenly, Meng Zhou looked away from the rock wall and stopped walking.

Sitting on the sand beside the path ahead was a little girl with yellow hair and a slim body. She was focusing on her own world with her head down.

A long grass rope slowly turned into a lifelike and vivid green grasshopper under her slender and dexterous fingers.

If this straw grasshopper had not been completed under Meng Zhou's own eyes, and if he had placed it on the grass blades, Meng Zhou would not have suspected that it was a fake, and would have even thought that it would flap its wings and bounce up in the next moment. Disappear.

Meng Zhou was completely fascinated by this unexpected performance scene.

The little girl finished braiding the grasshopper with straw rope, and her attention returned to reality from the work in her hand. She looked up and saw Meng Zhou looking at the grasshopper in her hand without blinking, with a look of surprise and curiosity on his face.

Although she didn't speak, her bright eyes seemed to be asking: "Uncle, who are you? Why are you looking at me like that?"

Meng Zhou coughed slightly in embarrassment and asked, "Kid, is this Baiyue Bay?"

The little girl nodded.

Meng Zhou asked again: "Which direction is the end of the bay?"

The little girl pointed to the distance behind Meng Zhou.

Meng Zhou suddenly had a dark look on his face.

The direction is reversed.

Meng Zhou thanked the little girl and walked in the other direction.

The little girl sat on the sand and watched Meng Zhouyuan go away. After his figure disappeared, she released her clenched fist, revealing a vivid straw grasshopper.

He carefully put it into his arms, and finally patted it gently through his clothes, as if to reassure it that no bad guy would come to snatch it.

She got up from the ground and ran in the other direction.

About half an hour later, Meng Zhou's figure appeared on this road again.

Looking at the spot where the little girl had been sitting just now, he shook his head and muttered: "You are a deceitful little girl."

…

Meng Zhou rushed to the end of the bay before it got dark.

There are two cross-shaped streets here, both of which are no more than 500 meters long. One is called Laohuai and the other is called Gujing.

Many qi-training monks live here, and you can also see some sporadic small shops that purchase spiritual materials, supply spiritual meals, sell basic talismans and elixirs, practice hotels, etc. It is also a detailed and detailed practice place.

Turning around Laohuai Street and entering Gujing Street, Meng Zhou looked more carefully.

When he reached the door of a grocery store, his steps became slower.

"The fifth ancient well house, is this the one?"

Meng Zhou thought to himself, while walking slowly, he turned his head and looked inside curiously.

At this time, an old scolding voice came from deep inside the store:

"Girl, if you don't know how to do this pair of sparrow-head knots, you won't be allowed to go out to play in the future, or your legs will be broken!"

"Oh." A clear and childish voice responded.

The image of a little girl with withered and yellow hair immediately appeared in Meng Zhou's mind, and he was very surprised.

"So destined?"

With this thought in his mind, he passed by the door of the grocery store.

He continued walking forward without any intention of turning back and taking a closer look.

Now, he knew nothing about the situation here, and he planned to learn more information elsewhere before considering it.

not to mention--

Meng Zhou looked up at the sky, which was rapidly darkening, and then at the few pedestrians on the street who were quickly disappearing.

Meng Zhou couldn't help but speed up and entered a training hotel.

"Stay in the hotel."

"We have upper, middle and lower third-class rooms. Which one does the guest want?"

"medium."

"Okay, I will pay one low-grade spiritual stone a day, twenty low-grade spiritual stones a month, and provide three meals a day for free. Which one does the guest want?"

Meng Zhou had a look of hesitation on his face. He touched his body and took out eight from his left sleeve, five more from his arms, and finally five from his belt. There were a total of eighteen low-grade spiritual stones, which he divided into three. There is a place to store it. At this moment, he carefully placed it on the counter and asked a little embarrassedly: "Is it okay to stay for a month?"

The shopkeeper looked embarrassed. He looked at the spiritual stones on the counter for a while, and then looked at Meng Zhou who looked shabby. After a while, he swept all the spiritual stones into the drawer under the counter and said:

"Okay, I think you are also honest. If it were anyone else, I would definitely disagree."

Meng Zhou's face was full of gratitude: "Thank you, thank you."

The shopkeeper smiled and said, "Just remember to take more care of my business in the future."

"sure."

While the two were chatting and laughing, he had already led Meng Zhou to the second floor.

At this moment, the sky outside has become completely dark.

As I was walking, I suddenly heard two short screams coming from the forest in the distance.

Meng Zhou's heart trembled, but the shopkeeper sneered:

"There are so many people who don't know whether to live or die. After all these years, there are still people who are lucky.

Is the aura of our Baiyue Bay so easy to exploit? "

Soon, the shopkeeper started joking with Meng Zhou again, and he didn't seem to feel any disobedience at all.

He took Meng Zhou to the door of a room, handed Meng Zhou an iron token, and said:

"You keep this entry and exit token. Each room has a soundproofing and defense formation. During your stay in the hotel, with this token, you are the sole owner of this room.

Even I have no right to enter the room beyond you! "

Finally, seeing that Meng Zhou was not in high spirits, he specifically said when bidding farewell:

“A small shop is run with integrity, the price is fair, and everyone is honest.

This is the purpose that our Baiyue Bay merchants jointly maintain!

As long as you hand over the spirit stone, you will be our most distinguished guest. You can rest assured about safety. "
