Chapter 255: The Boundless Pavilion
Very simple tones, very desolate place, but it made a group of monks who were confident that they could crisscross the heavens and the earth feel their insignificance. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
Several people glanced at each other, nodded slightly, and immediately jumped out one after another.
The wind whistled in his ears, and a group of people glided out of the mountain peaks, like flying ants between heaven and earth, landed on a sand dune, and then got up again and flew out.
A group of people rose and fell in the vast sea of sand, quickly fleeing to the depths of the desert.
Two hours later, Ling Huqiu raised his hand and signaled, "Don't worry, take a break, recover your mana, don't let your mana consume too much, otherwise it will be difficult to deal with trouble." ”
It is not for nothing that he can be so intimate, he knows very well that someone is eyeing Niu Youdao, not afraid of 10,000, just in case.
Here he and the two maids are Jin Dan cultivators, and Niu Youdao is all cultivators in the foundation building period.
Ling Huqiu took the sheepskin kettle in his hand, motioned to the two maids to stay on guard, and opened the kettle to drink slowly.
Niu Youdao and the others also took out the kettle to drink water one after another, and looked around at the same time.
There was nothing to be seen except blue skies, white clouds, and sand dunes, and there was nothing to be seen around, and there was an occasional gust of wind that caused the sand particles on the dunes to roll and slide.
"Have you ever been to the Boundless Pavilion?" Niu Youdao, who put down the kettle, asked Black Peony and Duan Hu.
The two nodded, and Black Peony said, "We've been together three times." ”
Niu Youdao bowed slightly.
Several people then sat cross-legged on the hot sand one after another, took out the Lingyuan Pill and took it, and the pranayama recovered.
Ling Huqiu was the same, with red sleeves and red whisks on everyone's left and right.
About half an hour later, there was an unusual movement, and everyone who was meditating cross-legged opened their eyes one after another, and turned their heads to look at the sand dunes not far away, only to see five huge earthy yellow scorpions shaking their heads and tails on the sand dunes.
This thing Niu Youdao has seen a description in "Shangqing Records", named Sand Scorpion, which can be described as a monster living in this desert, coming and going like the wind in the desert, crawling fast, hard carapace, tail stinger is highly poisonous, seeing blood to seal the throat, the attack power is very strong, there is a weakness, afraid of water!
It is said that the hard shell of the sand scorpion will soften immediately when it comes into contact with water, so it is afraid of water.
Although I have seen the description, it is the first time I have seen this scorpion as big as a calf, except for the gray-white eyes, the other parts of the body are completely integrated with the color of the desert, which is not easy to see if you hide in the desert.
It is said that larger sand scorpions can be more than a foot long, even if the length of the tail is not counted.
The five sand scorpions shook their tails violently, as if signaling an attack, and slid down the sand dunes with a thud.
That's right, it's not climbing down, but with the help of the special structure of the abdomen, it slides down with a whoosh like a skateboard, and the limbs and legs can also be used as an acceleration paddle, so the speed is very fast.
What's even more terrifying is that the abdomen can slide close to the ground, the abdomen can bounce off the ground, and the limbs and legs flick, and they jump up to the sand dunes.
The red sleeves and red whisks flipped their palms in succession, and quickly slashed out a palm force in the air, shocking the sand scorpion that pounced and flew out.
The five sand scorpions couldn't get close to this side of the sand dunes, but they didn't repent and rushed up again and again.
Niu Youdao reached out and grabbed the hilt of the sword.
Ling Huqiu, who noticed it, hurriedly stretched out his hand and made a gesture to stop, and said: "It's not that they can't be killed, but these monsters have long adapted to the environment in the desert, in order to obtain food in a harsh environment, they are born with a keen sense of smell, once they smell blood, sand scorpions within a radius of a hundred miles may come." This thing is all over this desert, a small amount is easy to deal with, once it comes densely from all directions, it is tantamount to falling into a large army, and the more you kill, the more you kill, the more you are not careful, you may be hit, and then we will only have to escape. Therefore, they can only be repelled, not killed, and when they can't bear it, they will naturally retreat. ”
Niu Youdao knows this aspect, and he has seen the description in "Shangqing Collected Records", and he only holds a sword just in case.
"I heard that there is an ancient city under this desert?" Niu Youdao asked.
Linghu Qiu's head: "There is such a saying, it is rumored that a long time ago, this was still a land of abundant water and grass, and then the world changed, and the yellow sand buried this place, and the ancient city was also buried in it." Occasionally, someone will come across the ancient city by accident, but even if they do, it doesn't make much sense. ”
As if to confirm what Ling Huqiu said, the five sand scorpions were indeed beaten and couldn't bear it, and seeing that they couldn't help it, they finally turned around and quickly disappeared from everyone's sight.
What should everyone do and continue to do it, Ling Huqiu got up, changed his red sleeves, and resumed his breath with a red whisk.
Ling Huqiu looked into the distance with his hand, and occasionally saw people flying back and forth in the distance, needless to say, they must all be monks who came and went from the Boundless Pavilion.
The group set off again, resting for a short time, and then arrived directly at the Infinity Pavilion.
There is a huge black stone mountain standing abruptly in the desert, and there are large and small lakes on the top of the mountain, like a large and small pearl on a plate, reflecting the blue sky and white clouds, which is refreshing.
There is almost no rain and it is arid, but the water level of the lake on this mountain is maintained all year round and has never dropped, which is quite magical.
Ling Huqiu said this, but Niu Youdao knew the principle and didn't think there was any magic.
Since it was discovered by the monks, the large and small strange peaks and strange rocks erected in the lake have been renovated and carved into pavilions and caves, and have become shops of various sects.
The lake is full of high and low, up and down stone bridges, connecting all places, and it is strange for unfamiliar people to come here and not get lost.
Therefore, no fighting is allowed here, and once discovered, it will be severely punished. It is also understandable that once the monks fight, some bridges may not be able to withstand the toss of the monks.
The highest place on the peak of the lake, the most exquisite place of carved beams and cornices, can see the desert majestic, it is the boundless pavilion.
There is an inn on the side of Your Excellency, called Tianhu Inn!
Niu Youdao and his entourage naturally want to settle in the Tianhu Inn, and Black Peony and others are also used to it.
When walking on the staggered stone bridge, he suddenly saw the dark waves on the water surface surging, Niu Youdao stopped and watched, and faintly saw a huge black shadow turning under the water.
Ling Huqiu, who was following and stopped, said with a smile: "The pet of the Boundless Pavilion Lord, the dragon in the Heavenly Lake, it is said that as long as the opportunity is right, it can evolve into the legendary true dragon. This is also a scene of the Boundless Pavilion, whenever the moon is bright at night, you can often hear the dragon's groan, but few people can see their true faces!"
Niu Youdao nodded slightly, he had also seen this in the "Shangqing Collected Records".
It is said that this place was originally a pool of stagnant water, at that time the Boundless Pavilion did not exist, and the monks who came and went here supplied water, and then the water did not know what was going on, and suddenly two dragons appeared, and I don't know where it came from, the legend is drilled out of the center of the earth, a male and a female, making waves, causing many monks to die and be injured.
Lan Daolin, one of the Nine Supremes, heard the news and surrendered the two dragons, and then Lan Daolin took this place as his own and created the Boundless Pavilion here, and the master of the Boundless Pavilion was Lan Ming, the son of Lan Daolin!
Later, there was a small dragon in the lake on this day, and everyone estimated that it should be born after the mating of the male and female dragons.
The legendary dragon, Niu Youdao naturally wanted to see the true face of this thing, but he only vaguely saw a black shadow under the water, standing and waiting for a long time without waiting for the reappearance of the body, and even the general outline was not seen clearly, which was inevitably a little regretful.
After checking in in the Tianhu Inn, Niu Youdao pushed open the window, and the location was slightly higher than most of the shops outside.
looked at the people coming and going on the stone bridge outside, stared at the blue waves and deep pools below for a while, and turned back to the black peony and said: "The shops of the three factions, you go to recognize the way, in case something happens, you can contact and communicate in time." ”
Black Peony was checking in the house, and when she booked a room, she made her own decision and asked for a room with Niu Youdao, which can be said to be living together.
She doesn't care, Niu Youdao doesn't care what outsiders think.
"Yes!" Black Peony replied and turned to leave.
Duan Hu quickly came in, took Black Peony's hand, and carefully inspected every part of the room, and then boiled tea on the charcoal stove.
When Black Peony came back, he brought the shopkeepers of the three factions to see Niu Youdao.
The two sides talked for a while, and Niu Youdao asked a lot of questions, mainly about the situation on the Boundless Pavilion.
When I came here, I inevitably took a look and opened my eyes, and Ling Huqiu has always been with me.
The group walked around until late before returning to their respective rooms, Niu Youdao had just sat down to admire the moon with a cup of tea in front of the window, and a golden wing swept from the night sky and went directly into the window.
Black Peony stretched out his hand to take the golden wings, took out the secret letter in the foot, found a pen, ink, paper and inkstone, translated the content of the secret letter, and walked to the window to present it, "Master Dao, news from Beizhou." ”
Niu Youdao looked back and took the secret letter to check.
At a glance, he knew that it was a message from Chen Guishuo, but the content of the letter made him frown, and he couldn't understand what it meant, and Chen Guishuo himself didn't know what it meant.
Anyway, he was suddenly transferred by Shao Pingbo to do things, it was too sudden, and he cut off contact with the people in Beizhou for a while, and it was not good to convey it on behalf of someone else's hand, and he didn't pass the news out until he returned to the capital city of Beizhou.
"Map of Korea!" Niu Youdao put down the teacup and got up.
Black Peony immediately took out the map he wanted from the package and spread it out on the table.
Niu Youdao stared at the map for a while, asked for a charcoal pen in his hand, compared the content in the secret letter, found the waterway that Chen Guishuo said, and marked and connected the waterway sections of various sections.
Just talking about place names, there are so many place names and so many rivers in South Korea, and the ghost can figure out what is going on, and after marking it, everything seems much clearer.
"Beizhou Pass to the sea... The mouth of the sea leads to Beizhou..."The fingers were compared twice on the route, Niu Youdao was thoughtful, the corners of his mouth gradually curled, revealing a sly smile, and muttered: "War horse!"
Black Peony tried to ask, "Beizhou wants to transport war horses by sea?"
