Three hundred and sixty?
Knowing Yu Ci's doubts, the old man explained: "The ichthyosaur has been sent to the mountain, and Brother Lu is very satisfied. He was almost giving up, but your ichthyosaur was a timely help, so he is willing to pay more 20%, a total of 360 gongs. You should keep this brand, it will be more convenient to trade with the sect."
Beside him, Baoguang heard that Yu Ci had received another sixty good deeds in a blink of an eye. He was speechless and looked at Yu Ci with admiration in his eyes.
The increased good deeds are an unexpected blessing. However, Yu Ci was also reminded. After thanking him, he added: "I have been bothering you in the temple for many days. Now that everything is done, I bid farewell to the master of the temple."
"Oh? So urgent?"
Yu Ci smiled: "The road to immortality is long and difficult. If you can rest for a few days, you are already lazy."
Although this statement is suspected of "talking about people when seeing people and telling ghosts when seeing ghosts", it is indeed what he thinks in his heart. He just modified it a little bit, but it is still considered sincere. As expected, the old man nodded in approval:
"At such a young age, I also know the urgency of seeking immortality, which is great. But what about you?"
Yu Ci pondered for a moment and then told the truth:
"To be fair to the viewer, I have some experience in searching for herbs. The last time I found the fish dragon grass, it was not just luck. I have seen it in Tongde Hall in the past few days, but there is no news of good deeds. One plant The fish dragon grass is also worth five skills. It is a natural thing and may be higher. In this way, I want to return to the Sky Rift Valley and find enough herbs before winter. But I have also seen some requests. If you can find out about the specialty products of Skyrift Valley, you can also do it along the way."
In fact, in addition to this, there is another reason. Even if he didn't say it, the Taoist should also understand - as Jinchuan and Kuang Yan set off for the gate of Lichen Sect the day before yesterday, there were eyeliners who had been lingering outside the Taoist temple in the past few days. , they were evacuated yesterday. Although I don’t know what Bairi Mansion is thinking, but if I don’t leave now, when will I wait?
But the veteran's reaction was a bit strange. After looking straight at him for a while, he suddenly laughed. This sudden laughter made Yu Ci quite surprised: "Why is the viewer laughing?"
The old Taoist smiled and pointed at him and then himself: "You and I are destined!"
What does it mean?
When Yu Cicheng was puzzled, he saw the old Taoist take out a jade slip and handed it over: "Just in time, I have some medicines, which are specialties of Tianxia Valley and cannot be found anywhere else. I would like to ask you to help find them."
Looking at the very happy old Taoist, Yu Ci’s spiritual thoughts penetrated into the jade slip and saw that there were six medicinal materials listed inside, each with detailed illustrations. The images were lifelike and the explanations were also extremely detailed, including The habits of the medicinal herbs, possible growth locations, picking methods, and whether there are ferocious beasts or poisonous insects guarding them, etc.
This information is so detailed that I have nothing to say. Yu Ci had originally planned to pick other herbs along the way in exchange for good deeds, which did not conflict with this request, so there was no reason to refuse. However, he still didn't understand something: "Although the Sky Rift Valley is vast, it is only for us, the younger generation. With the master's ability and such detailed information, why don't he pick it up himself?"
"The Sky Rift Valley is different from other places. The Lichen Sect and the Sunset Sect have set up 'stop monuments', and monks above the Huandan realm are not allowed to enter the valley, and I am no exception."
Yu Ci was confused: "Why is this?"
The old Taoist responded with a question: "Do you know where the place is below the Sky Rift Valley?"
Why do these words sound so familiar? Yu Ci wanted to laugh, but had to hold it back, but still said: "Could it be hell?"
The old Taoist laughed: "Even if you miss it, it's not far off. The place below is not the underworld in mortal legends, but a very similar and even more dangerous place. People who practice call it the Blood Hell Ghost Palace. ”
Yu Ci's heart moved. He had heard this name before. Thinking about it carefully, it was said by Fairy Ye Binnü that day at the top of the Tiancleft Valley, but he still didn't know what was going on.
The old Taoist explained to him: "The so-called Blood Hell Ghost Mansion is the place where all the ferocious and murderous aura in the world condenses and becomes reality. It is also boundless and vast. For millions of years, this ferocious aura has transformed into countless monsters. The demonic creatures are all cruel and murderous, and they fight with each other in the Blood Hell Ghost Mansion forever. In terms of cruelty, the so-called Underworld is beyond comparison."
"There is no water or land connection between that world and the world here, but it is not completely disconnected. The world is vast, and there are also places where hostility is occasionally felt and the void is torn apart, forming tunnels for communication on both sides. This Rift Valley is one, probably the largest one in the world.”
"Is there such a place between heaven and earth?"
After listening to the Taoist lecture, Yu Ci felt that his horizons had suddenly broadened a lot. He thought for a while and asked: "So, the rumors of demons in the Sky Rift Valley are not groundless."
The old Taoist sighed: "This is not the case. You must know that the world you and I live in is very different from the Blood Hell Ghost Mansion. It is natural for us to breathe between this world, but for the Blood Hell Ghost Mansion For demons, it may be a deadly poison, and vice versa, which cuts off most communication between the two worlds.
"However, the Sky Rift Valley is a vast area, almost a boundary of its own. The energy of heaven and earth on both sides is mixed with each other. Slowly, some demons adapt to the environment and grow. However, these demons can freely travel between the two realms. Originally, this was nothing. All things had their own destiny. There were also some naturally-raised alien species in the Sky Rift Valley that were mortal enemies of demons, blocking their way here so that this world would not be disturbed by demons.
"But ninety-five years ago, two people with great supernatural powers at the level of earthly immortals fought fiercely in the valley. The fight was so violent that the sun and the moon lost light. The relatively stable species circle in the valley was seriously damaged during the war, especially with the In the area of more than 10,000 miles adjacent to the Broken Boundary Mountains, the middle and lower sections of the Sky Rift Valley are almost unrecognizable. The demons living at the bottom are only slightly affected, and there are no natural enemies above them, so they are naturally ready to move."
Yu Ci was moved with excitement when she heard this, but her emotion was not filled with fear, but with unspeakable yearning.
In order to conceal this feeling, he whispered: "In the past few decades, haven't there been no demons causing trouble?"
“That’s because we were suppressed!”
The old Taoist sneered: "The two great immortals left after the fight, but left the trouble here. In the first twenty years after the war, most of the people here and the Sunset Sect on the opposite side had to be transferred every year, and even some Comrades from thousands of miles away had to be invited to help, and it took a lot of trouble to block the invasion of demons. In those twenty years, many disciples of the sect died in the Sky Rift Valley, and the Sunset Sect even lost one. A real person, a heavy loss.
"Mere interception is not enough. We have to do everything possible to move suitable species and rearrange the species circle. This work was not completed until ten years ago. Otherwise, do you think that with the strength of the sect, why do we still want to let Bai The Japanese government helped collect the shrimp grass... In the past few decades, the medicinal herbs, minerals and other resources that were widely available in the Sky Rift Valley have been exhausted. If the mountain gate had not had a strong foundation, the consequences would have been disastrous!"
The old man looks really resentful, very different from his usual self. Maybe his relatives and friends died in this war that lasted for twenty years?
Yu Ci speculated in her heart and couldn't easily interrupt. However, the veteran realized that something was wrong with her emotions first, so she laughed and said, "I'm off topic, don't blame me, don't blame me!"
"It should have given me some insights. If the master hadn't explained it, how would I have known that there was such a world under the sun?" Yu Ci really hoped that the old Taoist would talk more about this.
Lao Dao was a little worried and hurriedly stated the final reason: "I mentioned the newly built species circle earlier. This circle was finally completed ten years ago and can operate naturally and block the invasion of demons. But after all, it was forcibly transplanted. The foundation is very shallow, and perhaps one inadvertent move by people will destroy the overall balance, and then it will inevitably cause another trouble.
"Therefore, our sect and the Sunset Sect postponed the removal of the 'stop monument' that banned people from entering the valley ninety-five years ago to prevent demons from harming people. They are preparing to open it up again after a few decades when the species circle has stabilized. . But this is only limited to monks who are above the Huandan realm, because only with that level of cultivation can it be possible to sink to the middle and lower sections of the Sky Rift Valley and have an impact on the species circle.
"In addition, we have another guess here. For Huandan monks and above, the Qi machine radiates too far, and its flesh and blood soul is a great tonic for demons. Some demons can sense this from hundreds of miles away. If the smell follows the trail and swarms in, the consequences will be worrisome. This is the most worrying thing!"
These demons are really powerful!
Yu Ci couldn't help but sigh, but this had little impact on him, so he just listened.
After talking about what happened in the Sky Rift Valley, the old Taoist pointed to the jade slip: "These six medicinal herbs are all rare, and none of them are easier to find than the fish dragon grass. I don't want you to take them all back at once, I just want to take a look. Do you understand your opportunity?"
Yu Ci could hear that there seemed to be something profound in the old Taoist's words. But this is not important. On the matter of fish and dragon, the old Taoist helped him a lot, both secretly and openly. He was troubled and didn't know how to express it. Now that he had this request to find the medicine, it was exactly what he wanted.
Moreover, he followed the divine plan, and his search range was as wide as fifty miles, reaching up to the sky and down to the earth. It would be extremely difficult for others, but it was exactly his strength.
"Please rest assured, Master." Yu Ci only said this, but it was more resolute than any other guarantee.
The old Taoist was very happy with his attitude and said: "These medicinal herbs are all for wintering. Even if you don't find enough fish dragon grass before winter comes, there is no need to rush back. You can stay for a while. See what you can gain from this, it doesn’t conflict with your affairs..."
He never mentioned remuneration from beginning to end, which made Yu Ci feel more comfortable. To be honest, until now, it is difficult for him to accept the good deeds and transactions in Tongde Hall. This is very different from the world of practice that he imagined and even yearned for.
After talking about the main business, the two chatted for a while. Yu Ci admired the old Taoist's kendo skills very much, so he changed the topic. Although the old Taoist didn't really teach him anything, some of the theories he casually shared were also useful. Yu Ci benefited a lot.
When the night got dark and he confirmed that he would leave tomorrow morning, Yu Ci finally said goodbye and came out. The more he talked with the old Taoist, the more he got along with him, which he was very happy to see. Thinking back to what the old Taoist said about his mastery of swordsmanship, just a few steps out of the courtyard gate, someone called his name from behind, and it was Baoguang who caught up with him from behind.
"Brother Yu, keep this thing."
Without any explanation, Baoguang thrust a stack of folded objects into Yu Ci's hands. Just by the gentle touch, Yu Ci knew that this was Gui Shayun.
Yu Ci was startled, and then looked over. The little Taoist priest was grinning. He couldn't tell whether he was heartbroken or laughing. He was very weird: "Since time is tight, senior brother is traveling on his own legs. When can I get to the Sky Rift Valley? I This thing is like no other, but it is the best treasure when traveling long distances. It will definitely save you a lot of time. Just remember to pay me back!"
He pretended to be heroic, which made people howl, but Yu Ci understood what he meant.
It’s not just the seasoned person who is worthy of close friendship.
Yu Ci was silent for a moment, then laughed again. He patted Bao Guang on the shoulder, saying nothing.
