Ask the Mirror Chapter 87: Nun

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

The courtyard is not big and the fence is not high, so you can have an unobstructed view from the outside. There are two houses inside, both built with local materials and giant wood. The splicing is meticulous and simple but does not give people a rough feeling. Out of politeness, Yu Ci and others did not go in. Seeing You Rui looking for someone inside, it was strange that no one responded.

You Rui walked around the house and found no one, but she didn't look surprised: "It seems she has gone out, but she won't be too far away. Why don't we go to the village first to take a look?" See?"

Yu Ci was obedient and nodded in agreement.

The group turned inside again, and after walking for a while, Yu Ci suddenly felt strange. The black moon in the sky seemed to be lighter in color. Looking carefully, it turned out to be deep purple.

Lu Qing soon explained to him that it was said that due to the changes in the rise and fall of the sun and the moon, there was no fixed strength of the formation. As the core, the color of the black moon would change. It was black when it was at its best, and then purple after that. , yellow, silver and white three colors. For this reason, there is no clear boundary on the outer edge of the Black Moon Ring Array, and the range is like the ebb and flow of the tide, sometimes getting larger and sometimes smaller.

"But when it comes to the core, there is no dispute." As he spoke, Yu Ci had already heard the low sound of water, which seemed like the sound of water waves lapping at the shore.

"This is the Black Moon Lake. This underground lake covers an area of ​​about a thousand hectares, with different depths. It is divided into dozens of pieces by sandbars. Because of the black moon formation, the scenery is unique in the Northern Wilderness." Lu Qing He introduced softly, "The core area of ​​the Black Moon Ring Array is on the lake, and the villages are also scattered among it."

Underground lake...

Yu Ci stood on the shore with a subtle expression on his face. The world of cultivation is vast and boundless, and he has seen lakes that are ten or a hundred times this size, but a lake of this size appearing underground is still more outstanding. It was just that his expression changed, not just because of that.

Since approaching the lake, the Illuminating God Diagram has been strongly disturbed and has never taken shape again. Yu Ci estimates that there are at least five or more powerful Buxu people within a radius of fifty miles. This situation, this density, is too exaggerated, or is there simply a real-life master?

Yu Ci was awestruck: "Who is the owner of this place?"

You Rui responded: "The Black Moon Ring Formation was built in a calamity. Legend has it that it was built by an immortal immortal to save the calamity, but something went wrong and disappeared without a trace. For a while, this place was completely ownerless. Later, some strong people gradually liked the environment of this place. There were conflicts during their stay. After getting along, it became a situation of 'do not occupy, do not rule', that is, anyone can come, but only here. No one can interfere with the affairs of this place while practicing and recuperating, and of course, no one is allowed to disturb it."

"This is rare."

Yu Ci nodded, but he didn't know how tragic the "run-in" ahead would be if this situation occurred.

Looking at the lake from a distance, it looks dark due to the light, but holding it in the palm of your hand, you can see that it is crystal clear and the water quality is excellent. By everyone's standards, it was not difficult to walk across the water, or even fly across it, but You Rui stopped this approach and made a small circle around it to find a long stone bridge before letting him cross the lake.

"Black Moon Lake is soaked in the essence of the sun and moon day and night, and the flow of vitality is unusual. People often practice in the lake. If they collide, their faces will not look good."

This is a more euphemistic way of saying it. In fact, I am worried that there are dragons and crouching tigers hidden here, and I might have offended some troublesome guy. Yu Ci was a little surprised. If you were so cautious, why did You Rui travel thousands of miles to come here?

A group of people walked onto the stone arch bridge. Due to structural limitations, the bridge was actually connected to the shore and a nearby sandbar. There were several small boats parked on the sandbar, which were the tools for traveling on the lake.

As he passed the top of the bridge, Yu Ci also saw how the locals controlled the boats. I saw a small boat rowing across the lake, passing lightly through the space under the arch bridge, almost silently and very light. The man's boating skills are really impressive.

You Rui was shocked and blurted out: "Sister-in-law!"

The man on the boat showed no reaction at all. You Rui took a deep breath and called out again: "Master Miaoxiang, my old friend You Rui wants to see you."

Hearing this sound, the man on the boat turned his head, and then the boat turned and moved closer to the shore.

You Rui's face showed joy. He didn't want to go to the sandbank anymore. He turned around and walked back quickly. Yu Ci and Lu Qing looked at each other and followed behind. Lu Qing reminded: "Master..."

Yu Ci expressed understanding.

When You Rui got off the bridge, the man who had just tied the cable rope straightened up and walked slowly onto the shore. You Rui greeted again: "Master Miaoxiang..."

The man stopped and looked this way. In the dim light, Yu Ci could see clearly with his eyesight. I saw that the person was of medium height, wearing a small hat, holding a rosary. The area under the brim of the hat and above the auricle was smooth and hairless, and he turned out to be a nun.

In fact, this can also be seen from You Rui's title, but after all, Buddhism is not popular east of the Sky Rift Valley, making it difficult to turn around for a while.

As he moved closer, Yu Ci saw that the nun had a fair complexion. Although her appearance was not as stunning as that of You Rui, she was still quite elegant, especially her face was like a full moon, her appearance was dignified, and she stood with her eyes lowered. Meditate, hold the rosary in your hand, and feel very peaceful.

Is this the person You Rui traveled thousands of miles away to seek refuge with?

Thinking of You Rui’s initial title, Yu Ci couldn’t help but have some thoughts in her mind, but it’s quite boring to think about it now. You Rui had already stepped forward, maybe because she wanted to get closer, but the nun’s eyes were indifferent. , so she could only stop five feet away and bow politely.

"Master Miaoxiang, my disciple You Rui pays my respects."

Then she introduced both parties with a smile: "This is fellow Taoist Lu Dun, come with me..."

The perfect combination of courtesy and etiquette, Yu Ci is also known as "Master", and the etiquette is thorough. At the same time, I found that this bhikshuni didn't like to talk much and was a man who cherished his words like gold.

You Rui said with a smile: "Fellow Daoist Lu has profound attainments in talismans and is proficient in the art of soul and mind. He is a first-rate talent. If he hadn't helped me come all the way east, my disciple might not have been able to get here."

This was a kind word from You Rui. Yu Ci was not that compassionate. As for his attainments in talismans and the like, it was probably You Rui's impression of him. Yu Ci smiled bitterly. This reputation spread. As long as a person is interested, it is not difficult to think of his previous identity as a "soul chaser". Is it considered a side issue?

You Rui did not introduce Lu Qing and Kou Chu. Needless to say about the latter, as for the former, it is obvious that Lu Qing is good at acting. Along the way, You Rui also regarded her as a close attendant of Yu Ci, so she knew her cultivation level. It’s in-depth and not specifically introduced.

After both parties completed the etiquette, You Rui naturally had a lot to say to Miao Xiang, and was about to return to the courtyard, and also invited Yu Cici to go with him. However, Yu Ci thought that the small courtyard where Miao Xiang was located did not seem to be able to accommodate four or five people, and there was no need to follow him around all the time, so he declined politely.

You Rui didn't insist, but remembered something. He asked Miao Xiang to return first, and then asked Yu Ci to go aside. He smiled and said: "After meeting Master Miao Xiang, Brother Taoist, this journey has been completed to the end. Press It is agreed that this drop of Sea Soul Jade Liquid belongs to Brother Tao."

She took out a mutton-fat jade bottle and handed it to Yu Ci: "The best way to use it is to catalyze it into mist when breaking through the barrier, and use the Yinshen to absorb it. Only then can you consolidate the source and get the best effect."

Yu Ci shook it slightly and heard a crisp sound inside. He uncorked the bottle and took a look. He saw a particle the size of a broad bean at the bottom of the bottle, which was like a blue diamond, shining through. In the past few days, he had heard Lu Qing talk about the shape of Sea Soul Jade Liquid, and knew that it was a special preservation method. He was not surprised, so he nodded and put it away.

"As for delivering the letter..." You Rui pondered for a moment, and then said, "As for delivering the letter, it remains as mentioned in the preface. As long as Brother Dao helps me deliver the letter to Mr. He and get the token back, the Ghost King Lock The ring belongs to Brother Dao, what do you think?”

"Well..."

To be honest, Yu Ci was most interested in the three treasures You Rui took out, and the Ghost King's Ring was the one he was most interested in. The others were just for making extra money along the way.

As a special natural secret treasure, the Ghost King's Ring can be life-saving in critical moments. However, You Rui's request is really suspicious. As long as you spend a little money, a lot of people will do it. In terms of risk, it is actually no more than Yu Ci, a character who is "uncontrollable". Where are you going to keep an eye on this one?

Besides, Yu Ci also had an idea in his mind: after the last battle between the two Immortal Masters, it was a matter of choice whether Mr. He was still alive or not. When the news of Xia Shuanghe's death came back, I don't know if You Rui confirmed the news.

You Rui also said: "In order to gain the trust of Third Master He, I have to make preparations to give him a token. Brother Taoist, can you wait for three to five days?"

Yu Ci didn’t want to give her a sure word, and said calmly: “It depends on the situation, if I was still in Black Moon Lake at that time.”

**********

It is said that news can always run faster than human legs. At Black Moon Lake, Yu Ci finally believed it.

The group of people entered this prosperous area, but found that the popularity of the village was far less than what Lu Qing and You Rui said, and even a little deserted. Strangely, they inquired and found out that the so-called village thousands of miles away The news about the Secret Mansion Cave Heaven has spread a lot here.

Black Moon Lake is originally a transit point for monks in the Northern Wilderness in the underground forest. More than 60% of the monks here are people who hunt for treasures, hunt, and rob in the forest all year round. How can they resist the temptation of that news?

Overnight, the population of the village dropped by 70% - the extra 10% was needed to do business nearby.

"Reduced by 70%...didn't the experts even move?"

The hawker who was asked by him responded lazily: "Master, oh, you mean those guys! They moved, why didn't they move? Those guys walked faster than anyone else, they walked directly from the sky , Tsk, this is the strong man Bu Xu!"

"Huh?" Yu Ci took another look at the Zhaoshen Picture. Seeing that the picture was still disturbed, he couldn't help but wonder, how many masters are hidden in this Black Moon Lake? Or maybe a large one? It doesn't look like much, the interference is not that severe.

"Immortal Immortal? Impossible. Black Moon Lake is a good place, but how can a Immortal Immortal come to the Northern Wilderness? He is just passing through."

The hawker shook his head violently: "I have been here for thirty or forty years, and I have never heard of such a big shot. Sir, do you want to take a chance by asking about Changsheng? Let me tell you, don't go to Beihuang. , here is a bunch of scum waiting to die, hey, don’t look at it, I am too!”

Yu Ci was convinced and said goodbye to this interesting vendor with a smile. She also spent some money to make friends.

It was already the second day after arriving at Black Moon Lake. The black moon was shining, which was when the spiritual energy in the formation was the strongest, and it was also a good time to practice. Arriving at the village pier, Yu Ci untied a small boat and headed to the lake.

I just went to the lake, to the west, to a very distant target, and vague information was sent back.

The closer it is to the weekend, the more things get lost...it’s even later, sorry
