lnmao.org, the fastest update to the latest chapter of Asking Mirror!

According to the season, spring in the North should be the most suitable time of the year. However, clouds hang down all year round, covering the sky and the sun, and the temperature gets colder every year. Among the three lakes in the North, the ring lake closest to the south has not even thawed in some places. Looking at it at night, the water surface is as black as ink, and the tentacles are cold and piercing the bone marrow.

It is said that in ancient times, the Ring Lake was actually a majestic mountain range. Later, the terrain changed and turned into an inland lake with a diameter of hundreds of thousands of miles from east to west. However, there are still some mountain features, that is, the lake bottom has a huge difference in water depth. The environment, as well as the countless mountains in the middle of the lake that are exposed out of the water.

The unique environment of the lake, entrenched by ancient earth veins and immersed by the water of hundreds of calamities, has produced many wonderful heavenly materials and earthly treasures. Many monks are willing to open caves in the "mountains at the bottom of the lake" to make tools and refine elixirs. To seek longevity.

Especially since the Great Tribulation, the deep water resources in the depths of the Ring Lake, which do not rely much on sunlight and have a self-contained system, have attracted countless monks to come from all directions and settle here.

It was okay in the first few years. As the number of people increased, no matter how vast and fertile the lake was, there would inevitably be a situation where there were more monks and less rice. The medicinal materials and treasures that were easier to pick in the shallow water areas were destroyed. The picking and excavation were temporarily unsustainable.

In this case, some people left sadly; some ventured to deeper waters to try their luck; and some simply started a business without money, turning the huge ring lake into a mess.

At this time, the Ring Lake is at its most chaotic.

The darkness of night covers the entire lake, and it is also the time of day when fog is most likely to occur. But on the Tianliang Mountain Island in the southwest of the lake area, there are bonfires all over the island, thousands of boats parked outside the island, and the lake water reflects the lights, almost like a sea of ​​stars, and it is confusing.

On the horizon farther away, there is a huge boat like a mountain, going up the river and entering the lake from the mouth of the river. The lights on it are bright, and in the gradually rising fog, a huge aperture is opened, like a head. The giant beast with shiny scales swam silently.

"Damn it, what number is this?"

Tianliang Mountain Island rises nearly two hundred feet out of the water and covers hundreds of miles. It is not an exaggeration to call it a "mountain". Its most eye-catching feature is the arched hilltop that looks like a flying bridge. It is hollow inside and divides the mountain into two sides, one is the East Island and the other is the West Island.

The curse just happened was on the hillside of West Island, where a bonfire was lit. Dozens of people gathered around the fire, in small groups, but more or less they all maintained a certain attitude. The distance is obviously not all the way.

Due to the high terrain, the view here is quite good, and it happens to be where the lake and river meet. Over the past few hours, there have been no fewer than ten huge ships coming in from the mouth of the river, not to mention monks coming from other directions. There are probably more than 100,000 monks from all walks of life on mountain islands and lakes with a radius of hundreds of miles.

“Even the ‘Jade Ruler’ celebrity gathering that happens once every ten years is not like this!”

"Elixir is the ladder to ascend to immortality, color is the bone scraper, both are presented in front of you, which one do you choose?"

"Select them all?"

Some people laughed at the campfire, but there were only a few people responding, which seemed particularly abrupt. Those who were laughing fell silent in the middle of their laughter. They were sweating for a while, and soon they left with excuses, as panicked as a bereaved dog.

Forced a few idiots who couldn't tell the situation away. Around the bonfire, many monks lowered their heads again, either closing their eyes to rest, or discussing in low voices. The atmosphere was solemn and cold.

Strictly speaking, the Ring Lake is also part of the Cangjiang River system. It branches out into dozens of rivers and intersects with the main stream of the Cangjiang River. Among them, the widest and most famous one is called "Yu Chi", and the Tianliang Mountain Island is It is a landmark named Huxinshan Island stuck at the junction of Yuchi River and Huandai Lake, and it is very famous.

Over the years, due to the excessive flow of people, the nearby spiritual resources have been explored for a long time. They are mostly used as trading markets and tourist attractions. Tourists who want to enjoy the surrounding lake can rent a rental here. A painted boat goes straight into the center of the lake. During the process, it is surrounded by red and green, pointing out the rivers and mountains on the waterfront, which is the most elegant.

The "Jade Ruler Famous Actors" gathering emerged from this, appreciating flowers, appreciating arts, and evaluating talents. The leader of each session can be directly called "Everyone" in the real world, and has a very authoritative surname.

This time, however, the situation is very different.

Of course, among those who gossip, there must be bold ones who are still mumbling:

"This atmosphere is really unfriendly. Alas, the 'Jade Ruler' meeting two years ago also ended in disgrace. It was said that the Ge family who had obtained the Jade Ruler broke it off on the spot, saying that 'the name is not worthy of the name, and I am ashamed of it.' Along with his predecessors, he can be regarded as a straight man."

"In the gloom and mist of the North, who has the heart to do all those idle tasks? Ge Qiuniang is a smart person. She made a decisive move and gave her a clear name. In the blink of an eye, she became one of Mrs. Xia's three thousand guests. Isn't it better to stay under the Feihun City sign than to pick up guests on the lake?"

"Your mouth is too weak. I am a disciple of the Feihong Sect. I have always been devoted to dancing. What about receiving guests..."

"Where is Feihongmen now?"

"...Destroyed."

"Isn't that so! Without support, even 'everyone' will have to be a receptionist sooner or later. However, before, we brothers might have had the opportunity to have a romantic relationship. Now that I have voted for Mrs. Xia, I am afraid that only those Only a tycoon and a strong man can get along."

This whip struck a row of people. The monk who was joking with this person just now turned pale. Looking around, I saw that although most people didn't pay attention, there were more than ten people nearby who turned their attention, and their expressions were quite subtle.

For example, a scribe in white who was closer to them burst into laughter at this moment. He turned to talk to his friend beside him. His friend was an outstanding beauty, but her face was slightly pale and she was wearing mysterious clothes. Wearing a black skirt, the expression on his face was indifferent. Although he smiled in agreement with the scribes, his eyes when he turned to look at them were very cold.

The more I looked at it, the more uncomfortable I felt. The monk could only remind him in a low voice: "Brother Zhou, Brother Zhou, be careful."

"What are you afraid of? Brother Niu, it's not that I have a bad mouth. In fact, this time Tianliang wins the elixir, you and I will either be lucky enough to soar to the sky; or we will sink into the lake and turn to earth. To be honest, What else? Besides, I haven’t said anything even more rare.”

"Brother Zhou!"

"Hey, don't worry, brother Niu, this is not Mrs. Xia's joke. Don't you hear that 'eating **** on the ground, peeing in the sky, and bathing outside the territory'?"

It is a common saying, but it is also a bit vulgar. In addition, Brother Zhou’s voice became louder and louder, and everyone looked at him for a while.

Brother Zhou was still confused, but Brother Niu was getting more and more embarrassed. He wanted to say nothing, but felt sorry for himself, so he could only bite the bullet and ask: "Uh... how do you say this?"

Brother Zhou laughed loudly and said with high spirits: "There are nine realms of immortality. There is the ordinary realm, which refers to the movement of Qi, long breathing, and clear orifices; there is the realm of ascending to the sky, which refers to channeling the spirit, returning elixirs, and walking in the void; The realm of immortality is the real person, the calamity method, and the earthly immortal. Look at the current situation in the mortal world. Under the great calamity, people are starving and dying. The south is better. Our sects in the north can only take care of the city. The rest of the limited land is like a wild dog in the wilderness. Hey, if you can find something to eat, it doesn’t matter what it is! Isn’t it just eating **** on the ground?”

"Well, it's so devastated that it's heartbreaking. Brother Zhou is really a bodhisattva with a heart..."

Brother Niu wiped off the cold sweat on his head and could only try his best to round out the conversation. He was unable to continue and did not want to continue the conversation. But the scribe in white next to him spoke, his tone was clear and magnetic, but he had no scruples:

"What's the point of peeing?"

Brother Zhou sneered: "The last two have to be looked at together. The calamity of heaven and earth, people in immortality to avoid calamity, all go to the outside world, bathe in the pure and mysterious truth, do not eat grains or grains, blow the wind, drink dew, ride on the clouds , Yu Feilong, and travel all over the world... Isn't this just taking a bath outside the territory?"

He looked for excerpts from the article, and read them so hard that he shook his head, and finally said: "In our world, without the suppression of the Immortal Man, all kinds of monsters and monsters have come out, trying to seize the opportunity and turn around in one fell swoop. Draw a circle for this The earth is surrounded by fire, and the beasts are peeing on each other, and if they cross the line, they are bitten and beaten. What's the difference? It can be said that the sky is peeing!"

Brother Niu felt more and more uncomfortable as he listened. While sweating, he looked around again and saw the dark forest at night. In the darkness around the campfire, there seemed to be ferocious beasts lurking, just waiting to rush out. Not to mention the outside world, even among the monks nearby, some were laughing and having fun, but there were also people who had unnatural expressions on their faces, and even raised their eyebrows, which I think was spontaneous.

In short, the atmosphere around the campfire is very, very strange.

As a friend who met by chance, he had done his best, but unfortunately the effect was poor. He was so angry that he just wanted to leave. On the other hand, the scribe in white who answered the call later was still very interested, or perhaps had ulterior motives, and was still teasing him endlessly, praising repeatedly:

"Brother Zhou has a great talk."

Brother Zhou was even more happy to be praised by this, and he kept talking: "Nowadays, the world is in chaos. The strong become stronger and the weak become weaker. It can be said that 'if you lose enough, you will be rewarded', the weak eat the strong..."

Finally someone couldn't stand it any longer and sneered: "Since you know this, I'll feed you to the weak."

As soon as he said this, murderous intent flowed from all sides of the bonfire. Brother Niu sighed and was about to run away for his life. But at this moment, someone from far away shouted:

"The elixir came out."

Before he finished speaking, in the empty space between the two peaks of Tianliang Mountain Island, a treasure light rose into the sky. The light expanded and turned into the shape of a three-legged cauldron, with layers of smoke surrounding it. There were shapes of dragons and tigers, roaring and tumbling. After a while, the fragrance flowed with the wind on the lake. Whenever the monks smelled the fragrance, they only felt the roar of Qi and blood, and their whole bodies seemed to have surged with great strength. Everyone's heart was surging, too. Raise your voice and shout without vomiting:

"The elixir has been produced. Taoist Baihe has refined the Tianzi Ming Dan!"
