Chapter 509: Inquire about the news
Seeing that it was far away from the battlefield of the two realms, Liu Qinghuan slowed down and jumped onto the treetops to find the direction.
He didn't know where he was in the Lunar Moon Blood Realm now, so it was best to find the nearest town and inquire. Just look at it, the forest sea is vast, the rivers are vertical and horizontal, and it is a primitive scene.
This is a completely strange world, very different from Yun Mengze in the sun, moon and stars. There are three continents in the Yin Moon Blood Realm, two of which are connected to each other, isolated by high mountains in the middle, and the other isolated from the sea.
The Great Mirage Sea was in the Dark Moon Realm below the two connected continents on the right, and Liu Qinghuan only wished that he was not on the continent across the sea now.
The northern part of the Dark Moon Realm is vast and has extremely rich resources for cultivating immortals, but the southern part is long and narrow with many islands, and the population is relatively sparse, and the Great Mirage is at the southernmost point.
The only way to do this is to leave this mountain range first.
Liu Qinghuan looked at the sun that had just jumped out of the canopy, determined the direction, and no longer hid his figure, summoned the first day of junior high school, and flew towards the south against the canopy.
Soon, he found that the originally silent mountain range had more beast roars, and all kinds of demon beasts slowly increased, and there was even a snake demon beast lurking in the canopy of the tree in the middle of the way, and suddenly leaped out when they passed.
These demon beasts that originally lived here probably fled or hid outside one after another because of the fierce battle of human cultivation.
So far, he has encountered two third-order demon beasts running out of the road to rob the road, and then died tragically at the hands of Xiao Hei.
After Xiao Hei devoured the venom of the Flame Scales, his cultivation finally made a breakthrough and rushed to the middle of the third order. He finally had the opportunity to come out and move his muscles, so he was extremely excited.
Cleaning up a third-order eagle demon beast, Xiao Hei stood in the tossed forest and beat his chest and howled.
Liu Qinghuan collected the spiritual materials that could be used on the demon beasts, and said, "Don't be complacent, if we continue like this, we will be able to get out of this area at the same time." Every now and then, a demon beast pops out to block the way, which really affects the speed too much. ”
Xiao Dark rubbed the remaining demon beast meat into his own pocket, and the two monkey-eyed thieves turned around and replied: "Master, you see that there are so many poisonous snakes and poisonous insects in this forest, why don't we stay for a few days and hunt more prey?"
Liu Qinghuan patted off the feathers on his clothes, and said helplessly: "No, I have a task to do." Shut up your gluttonous mouth for me, there are still fewer poisons that have been bought for you all these years?"
Xiao Hei muttered, "But there are very few that can allow me to improve my cultivation. ”
"Why don't you say that your mouth is too picky, you have almost tasted all kinds of poisons, but there are few effects, who is to blame. Liu Qinghuan said: "Besides, in such a dangerous jungle, if I encounter a character that even I can't deal with, how will it end?"
Xiao Hei had no choice but to put away his howl and return to the spirit beast bag angrily.
Liu Qinghuan couldn't help but shake his head, and simply took back the first day of the first year and used the escape technique again.
After a few days, at the speed of Monk Jindan, he was able to reach the outskirts of the mountain domain.
The jungle became sparse, and the demon beasts gradually became scarce, until only some ordinary beasts remained, and Liu Qinghuan finally met the first human village.
From the outside, there are only about 20 families in the village, and the houses are still built on large trees, and the roofs are covered with branches and grass leaves, which looks poor and backward.
Liu Qinghuan reined in his momentum, landed on a dirt road that he stepped on, and slowly walked towards the village.
He didn't need to look at it with his senses, he also knew that there were villagers hiding behind the windows and doors to peep secretly, and when he looked over, all he could respond to was the sudden sound of doors closing and closing windows. If you accidentally encounter it outside the house, you will immediately flee in a panic.
These people were mortals, so he didn't care.
Around the corner, a hunter man carrying a load of firewood appeared, wiping the sweat from his dark face, his eyes focused on his feet, and he didn't raise his head until he was face to face with Liu Qinghuan.
The tall man like a mountain was stunned at first, and after seeing his clothes clearly, his legs were weak in fright, and two large loads of firewood fell to the ground, and the whole person withered to the ground, snorting again and again, and begging for mercy in his mouth.
Liu Qinghuan frowned and listened, what he said was even more strange than the language spoken by the Yin Moon Blood Realm cultivator, coupled with emotion and fear, nine out of ten sentences could not be heard clearly.
Liu Qinghuan stepped forward and said, "Don't be afraid, I'm just passing by and asking for directions." ”
It's a pity that the man was so frightened that he had no master, and when he saw him stretch out his hand, he retreated in a panic, as if he was facing a fierce wolf and a tiger, and he didn't listen to what he said at all, but just begged for mercy repeatedly.
Liu Qinghuan was quite helpless, so he had to stand up straight and walk past him.
Judging from the reactions of these people, the monks of the Yin Moon Blood Realm are afraid that they have a bad reputation among mortals. He only wanted to inquire about the name of the boundary, and now it seemed impossible to inquire without forceful means.
However, Liu Qinghuan is not going to embarrass a mortal. Even if the immortal cultivators of the two realms have a deep blood feud, they are not guilty of these defenseless mortals, and he is not a person who kills indiscriminately, so he can't attack these people.
Anyway, now that he is out of the mountains, he will go to other places to inquire.
Thinking so, he walked towards the entrance of the village, and clearly heard the sound of relief behind him and in the surrounding wooden houses.
But he didn't walk long when he paused and looked back.
In the midst of a gasp, a nimble figure scurried behind a large tree and hid.
Liu Qinghuan raised his eyebrows, turned his head quietly and continued to walk forward.
From behind the big tree came the black head of a little boy looking at his back, about seven or eight years old, with a pair of big eyes that turned smartly, more curious than fearful, and sneakily followed him again.
A very low call came from a treehouse, as if to call the little boy back, but the boy was clearly much bolder than the adult and continued to dodge and follow him.
Liu Qinghuan secretly thought it was funny, pretended to know nothing, and just slowed down.
Seeing that he was almost at the entrance of the village, the little boy almost forgot to hide, and followed him a dozen steps without even knowing the sound of footsteps.
Liu Qinghuan turned around and saw the little boy jumping up like a rabbit in shock, turning around and running.
He put on the most kind smile, and didn't chase it, but only beckoned and called softly: "Come." ”
The little boy stopped after a few steps, tilted his head to look at him, and as if at last he was sure that there was no danger, he walked tentatively.
Liu Qinghuan smiled even deeper, and found two pieces of tea that he had put away at some point in the ring, and the aroma was fragrant, as fresh as if he had just taken it out of the steamer. He coaxed, "What's your name?"
The little boy bit his fingers, swallowed a few mouthfuls of saliva in his eyes, lowered his head and scratched on the ground with his toes, hesitated for a long time before whispering vaguely: "I...... My name is Dawa. ”
Liu Qinghuan squatted down and said softly: "Big baby, if you tell me why you follow me, these two pieces of dim sum are yours, okay?"
The big baby's eyes lit up, and she looked at the refreshments longingly, and asked carefully, "Really?"
Liu Qinghuan smiled and nodded, and the eldest baby relaxed her vigilance and walked a few more words, with an innocent expression: "I saw you...... Uncle Tuo...... You didn't hit anyone, and you didn't arrest Uncle Tuo. The immortals are all bad, very bad and very bad...... You're different, good guy......"
Liu Qinghuan distinguished his vague and strange accent, barely understood, and smiled: "Okay, the pastry is yours." ”
The big baby cheered, ran over to take the pastry, and took a bite.
Because they are refreshments, these two cakes are in the shape of plum blossoms, so adults can eat one in one bite, and children can only take two or three bites and stuff them into their mouths.
Liu Qinghuan sighed, this kid obviously hadn't eaten such delicate food, and he looked very happy with a delicious face, and couldn't help but say: "Eat slowly, be careful of choking, there will be more after eating." ”
As he spoke, he simply took out the plate.
The baby stuffed the pastry into her mouth and looked in amazement at his hand that had conjured something out of thin air.
Liu Qinghuan waited until he had almost eaten before asking, "Have you seen a lot of immortals?"
A trace of fear floated on Dawa's face: "It's a lot, fly over there......" He gestured and pointed to the depths of the mountain: "It's so fierce, throw fire from the sky, burn the mountain, catch Sister Chunhua, Sister-in-law Fang, Uncle Niu is dead......"
Liu Qinghuan listened to Da Wa's vague words with difficulty, frowning and thinking about what the monks of the Yin Moon Blood Realm had done to catch mortals. I heard the eldest baby say again: "There is also a beautiful fairy, who didn't let them arrest people, and sent back Sister Chunhua and Sister-in-law Fang." ”
Liu Qinghuan perked up and asked, "Did you see where they came from?"
Dawa turned her head, looked at the sky, and then pointed to the southwest: "Over there, there are many immortals, riding terrifying beasts, and big houses flying in the sky. ”
He leaned over and said with sparkling eyes: "The second uncle's family lives in an immortal!"
Liu Qinghuan was stunned, he had swept the whole village with his divine sense before, and he didn't find any immortal cultivators, so he thought about it and asked, "Where is your second uncle's house?"
Dawa pointed to the southwest again, and said crisply: "The second uncle lives outside the three mountains, and his family sells delicious dim sum...... The second uncle likes me the most, and every time he cooks meat for me, the second aunt doesn't like me, and when she sees me going, she stretches her face. ”
The child pulled his face with his hand, rolled his eyes and stuck out his tongue, which made Liu Qinghuan laugh: "Where is your father?"
"Daddy and mother......" The eldest baby immediately fell into a low mood: "Dad was eaten by a blind bear, and my mother fell ill and died." ”
"Uh......"
"But I have a grandfather!" Dawa tried to pretend not to be sad, and said in a loud voice: "Grandpa went up the mountain to collect medicine." ”
That's why this kid is not afraid of the immortals who are feared by the villagers, and no one comes out to stop him from approaching the immortals.
Liu Qinghuan listened to the little boy muttering for a while, stuffed the pastry plate into his hand, and touched his rough and stiff hair that was full of ridges: "Okay, I'm leaving." ”
The eldest baby asked expectantly, "Are you going to my second uncle's house too?"
Liu Qinghuan said: "What, you want to go too?"
The eldest baby shook her head: "I can't go, grandpa won't see me when he comes back, I'll be in a hurry." ”
He took two pieces of pastry from the saucer, and reluctantly pushed the rest out with the saucer: "The cake given by the immortal is delicious, and the sister of the second uncle's family must not have eaten it, can you help me bring it to my sister?"
Liu Qinghuan sighed and asked him to put it away: "I still have it here, and I will give it to your sister again then, you can keep these for yourself." ”
Saying goodbye to the happy baby, Liu Qinghuan followed the direction he pointed, and sure enough, he found another small market town a few mountains away.
A few mountains away, it was much better than the dilapidated village, at least the houses were on the ground, and the roofs were neatly covered with straw.
Liu Qinghuan walked along the small street paved with bluestone, and according to Dawa's description, he found two tiled houses at the corner of the street, but they were tea shops.
Without going inside, he had already noticed that there were three foundation monks inside, sitting in the dark corner of the shop whispering.
Liu Qinghuan walked in, and the three of them immediately stood up, looking at him with a warp and a wincing.
Liu Qinghuan also took a step back and looked back with the same vigilance. The two sides stood as if they were in confrontation for a moment, and the nun of the three moved her lips before they slowly sat down again.
Only then did Liu Qinghuan approach the counter sideways, and said to the trembling middle-aged man behind the counter: "Are you the second uncle of the eldest baby?"
The middle-aged man sighed and straightened up in confusion: "Immortal, immortal, you, you are?"
"I came out of the mountain, just past the village on the other side of the mountain, and met Dawa. Liu Qinghuan said, obviously feeling that the three eyes like essence converged on his body again.
He seemed to realize that he had said the wrong thing, and took out a saucer of pastry and put it on the counter in front of the middle-aged man: "Dawa did me a small favor." Do you have a little girl at home? This is the eldest baby asked me to send it, saying that it is for his sister to try it. ”
After speaking, he didn't wait for him to respond, turned around and walked out.
After taking a few steps, Guo heard a "wait", he turned his head defensively, and looked at the female cultivator who walked over.
The female cultivator arched her hand and said, "Daoist friends just said that you escaped from the Phalanges Peak?"
Liu Qinghuan said with a cold face: "I think you heard it wrong, I didn't say that." ”
It turned out that the peak was called Phalangeal Peak. He quickly searched the map of the Yin Moon Blood Realm in his mind, but the area was too large and there was no result for a while.
The female cultivator said with a clear face: "It's that I heard it wrong, in fact, what I want to say is that we also came out of the mountain a few days ago, so I want to ask Daoist friends for some news." ”
Liu Qinghuan took a step back: "I don't have any news to tell you to wait." ”
"Why do Taoist friends reject people thousands of miles away like this. Another male cultivator walked over: "Everyone has the same disease, and it is precisely because we should exchange news with each other." ”
Liu Qinghuan pretended to hesitate again before he looked convinced, returned to the store, and sat down at their table: "So, what do you want to ask." ”
When the three of them saw him come back, they all showed a little joy, and hurriedly asked, "Of course, it's the current situation in the Black Claw Mountain Range. How about we, can we beat those bandits from the other world back? Did that terrible Great Monk of God Transformation be killed by the Great Monk on our side? Did we reoccupy the Phalanx Peak, retake the spatial passage, and enter the other world?"
Liu Qinghuan was secretly angry in his heart, this is really a thief shouting to catch a thief!
"Now that the Phalanx Peak has fallen into the hands of the people of the other world, we are losing and retreating, and the dead have stained the river red. He said in a low voice, and then changed to an affirmative tone: "You, you escaped before me!" I answered your question, should I ask you what information you can give me?"
