Volume 1 The Road to the World, the Road to the World Chapter 27 Sail to the Lok Ma River
"Elder, you're looking for me"
"Sit" Feng Jing sat beside the Great Elder Qi De of the Famen.
"You went on retreat for a year, how did you learn?"
"The disciple is stupid, and it took him most of the time to understand the spells taught by the five elders."
"Don't be discouraged, spells are originally created by shapeshifting level masters, and it will always be difficult to learn"
"Yes, Elder"
"I called you here today to appoint you to do something, which is considered a trial for you to get out."
It is said that one day a thousand years ago, it was the late winter season, the heavy snow was wrapped in the mountains and creatures, the sky above the river suddenly emitted a dazzling light, like an extra sun, and then there was a sound of wild horses neighing from above, a red horse, stepping on the white air straight into the river, the river rolled a few times and then calmed down, and after half a pillar of incense, the wild things crawled out of the snow, and swarmed to the river, Such a strange thing is really unheard of by the surrounding residents, guessing to each other that the red horse is a treasure in the sky, gathered the whole village to go to the river to fish, this search is a hundred years, generation after generation of villagers into the long river, but never found the figure of the red horse, and into the river of wild things have long disappeared, even the corpse has not appeared, people more and more believe that the events of that day are just a joke of the ancestors, or distorted and exaggerated facts, there is no Pegasus falling into the river, the villagers gave up the instructions of the ancestors, And warn future generations not to waste any more time.
Hence the name of the Lok Ma River, although no one goes to the river to explore the treasures, but this legend has been passed down for thousands of years, and now, in this river, another strange thing happened, in the middle of the Lok Ma River, a white lotus cry was born.
"Elder, what is the White Lotus Cry?"
"It's a treasure," said Zid,
"After the transformation and movement, out of the mortal realm, Wu Gang and mana transformed into martial energy and magic energy, at this time the use of mortal herbs is much smaller, like the most precious alfalfa grass has no value, although the blood root nagi can restore the effect of qi and blood but reduced by more than ten times, then it needs special herbs, not born in the soil, not grown in water, do not follow the rules of the world, emerge from the different, born with a vision, but where there is one to achieve, it becomes a treasure needed by the master of transformation and movement, such as the black stone wood buds born on the black scorched stone, mortals will be poisoned and die if they eat a little, but it can restore the magic qi for the master of magic, such as floating mushrooms, which survive at a hundred meters in the sea, and the shapeshifter can eat it to strengthen the physique"
"What is the purpose of the White Lotus Cry?"
"I have only seen the white lotus cry in the scriptures of the sect, the appearance is similar to the lotus but there are no roots and no leaves, the scriptures record that four hundred years ago in the Tianhemen domain of Huzhou there was a flower, growing in the air of the Valley of the Troubled Wind"
"In the air?"
"Well, I don't know the truth, that's what is recorded in the scriptures, back then, the ten major sects except for the dust gate all entered the Valley of the Troubled Wind, and all of them returned with a feather, even if several heads joined forces, they couldn't get close to the white lotus cry ten meters, a little closer, the treasure would disappear, and it would not reappear until it retreated far enough."
"Does anyone get it eventually?"
"Yes, but I don't know who it is, after the sect gave up for twenty years, the treasure disappeared, the white lotus cry is the supreme treasure but has no spirituality, it will never leave by itself, it will only be taken away by people or beasts, the sects have been secretly looking for many years, and I don't know if they have found it, at least Qingshan Peak has no results."
"Elder, what is the effect of the White Lotus Cry?"
"Recasting the martial qi and the magic qi, to be precise, squeeze out the breath in the body, and integrate the heaven and earth qi of the white lotus cry into it, this will be a qualitative change, and the front and back are the separation between heaven and earth."
"After the transformation technique, can you still become stronger?"
"Perhaps, the art is a sign of detachment from mortals, and it is difficult to say that it is not the beginning of another form."
"Did the elder let me go and get the White Lotus Cry?"
"Well, in fact, from that time four hundred years ago, all the sects have already understood that this kind of treasure will not be chosen by people, but can only be fulfilled by destined people, not only the forces of various sects, but even many people in the rivers and lakes have tried it, and they all ended in failure, I sent you just to let you try your luck, mainly to let you compete with those forces a few times and gain some experience, which will help you participate in the Lianzhuang War soon." Less than two months later, it was Feng Jing who was sent by the Famen, Feng Jing had already been told that this matter could not be refused and would not be refused, only the successor would be selected, this is both glory and opportunity.
"There are quite a few disciples sent by Qingshan Peak, you can choose friends to go with you, and the elders will secretly protect the safety of all disciples."
"Really? Can I choose disciples from other sects? ”
"Yes, who do you choose?"
"I choose Mu Ziyun from Yumen, Du Hu from Dimen, eh, no" Feng Jing originally wanted to talk about Li Mu, but thinking that this time there was a lot of conflict with other forces, Li Mu's strength was too weak, if he participated in the war, he would probably lose, which would be a harm to him.
"Well, the kid from Yumen has already been chosen, and I originally wanted him to be with you, but the guy from Dimen, I've never heard of it, and I don't know what the strength is"
"Elder, he is the disciple of Qingshan Peak who challenged the various city sects in a row a few days ago."
"Oh? He's the mad boy from the Hellgate? In this way, there are some qualifications, okay, just the two of them, I will arrange for the elders to accompany you, you go and prepare."
"Yes, the disciple retires" The next day, the group went down the mountain, sat in the carriage that had been prepared at the foot of the mountain, and several people changed into civilian clothes, three disciples, two elders, Mu Ziyun guessed that there would be elders with him, but he didn't expect it to be two, and one was Zigui, the fourth elder of the Famen who had seen before, and the other was Liu Changshan, the third elder of the Dimen, all of whom were the best among the elders of each sect.
The carriage was very large, the five of them were sitting on the carriage, Elder Zigui had his eyes closed, and he was still holding a beaded chain in his hand, Liu Changshan was very easy-going, and he could talk to the three of them.
"You go to get the White Lotus Cry this time, you will generally fail, this is not the purpose of this mission in the first place, Qingshan Peak wants to test your strength, so that you can fight with other forces and suffer some hardships"
"Elder" Mu Ziyun asked,
"You can't test your strength in the sect?"
"You don't understand this," Du Hu said.
"I went down the mountain for a year to challenge, and I realized how different it is to go up and down the mountain, learning in the mountain is the foundation, and going out to hone can you learn the skills"
"Well, Huzi is right," Liu Changshan said,
"After all, the sect is away from the rivers and lakes, and only when you suffer a loss do you know what it is like to be killed, and only when you kill can you know what it is like to be killed"
"Hehe, I've been fighting under the mountain, and I haven't done anything like killing people" Indeed, Du Hu is not a soldier, and he has not received a battle order, and Feng Jing is the same, his hands are clean and have not been stained with blood, of course, the two of them don't know about Mu Ziyun, they don't know that their youngest brother opened meat a year ago, and they don't know the culprit of the natural disaster.
"Okay, next, let me introduce you to the Qingshan Peak Domain, as well as the situation of the major sect forces in Huzhou."
