"My cultivation is too low to mention, and I don't know anything about the Immortal Sect and the family. There are many spiritual veins in the Xiaxi Mountains, which are owned by the Immortal Sect and the Clan. The larger Immortal Sect is Zhengyang Sect, and the smaller one is Zhengyang Sect. Among them are Danyuan Sect, Yinyuan Sect, etc. The remaining ones are the Wan family of Chixialing, the Mu family of Qifengpo, and the Yan family of Cuiyufeng. Could it be the Mu family in Qifengpo?" Pan Wenxuan said.
Qifengpo Mujia? It sounds similar to the Mu family in Xifengshan. Whether it is true or not, you will only know if you go there.
Lin Yi followed Pan Wenxuan over two hills, followed a stream for another two or three miles, and came to a small town surrounded by mountains and surrounded by water.
This is the Luoxia Town that Pan Wenxuan mentioned. It has about a hundred households and is the only place to pass into the deep mountains and dense forests. The houses in the town are built along the hillside beside the stream. Most of them are wooden attics, scattered in different heights, and mottled and simple.
Beside the stone bridge, under the big tree, there is a wine shop facing the intersection. Looking at the faded wine flags and the old tables and chairs in front of the door, this old shop has its age.
Seeking some fresh air and coolness, the group sat down in front of the wine shop. Pan Wenxuan pointed to the stone bridge and said to Lin Yi that after crossing the bridge, you can go deep into the mountains. However, the mountains are high and the forests are dense. Not only are there many poisonous insects and ferocious beasts, but there is also a deadly miasma. When you walk in, you can't tell the east, west, north, and south. Ordinary people can't get out after entering. To the south of the wine shop, there are several mountain roads. Although they are not smooth roads, they are well connected and can go to all parts of Daxia.
Along the way with Lin Yi to Luoxia Town, Pan Wenxuan never stopped talking. Even after sitting down at a wine shop at the intersection, he was still showing off his knowledge enthusiastically while eating and drinking. And what he said were just common things in the Daxia world of immortality, but they were what Lin Yi needed to know urgently.
After eating something casually, Lin picked up a cup of tea and looked back. He saw the Bai San man sneaking over again, as if he didn't see anyone, and went into the room to have a drink alone.
This old man is interesting! Lin Yi also pretended not to see it, but thought about it for a long time, then shook his head and put his thoughts aside.
"Since it's difficult to walk in the deep mountains, what can Fellow Taoist Wenxuan teach me?" Lin Yi asked thoughtfully.
After putting down his rice bowl and taking a sip of tea, Pan Wenxuan took out a jade slip and handed it to Lin Yi, saying, "This is what I got in exchange for ten spiritual stones."
The spiritual consciousness can store what is seen, heard, pictures and texts in the jade slips, which is like a spiritual imprint, simple and easy to use. Elder Jiang handed the jade slip to Lin Yi before he died, and left a random message in it. Although I have never made such jade slips myself, I still understand the technique.
Lin Yi took the jade slip and looked at it with his spiritual consciousness. It was exactly the same as the map of Daxia on his body. The difference was that there were more small lines on the map, which were connected to each immortal sect and family. After one glance, he understood the purpose of these lines. This was the path he could take when finding those immortal sects and families.
Putting down the jade slip in his hand, Lin Yi smiled and said, "With this thing in hand, I don't have to fumble around in the mountains!"
"But it's not worth ten spirit stones! This old man has no conscience!" The spirit stone reminded Pan Wenxuan of Bai Sanren again, and the physical pain caused by losing the spirit stone came back.
Bai Sanren in the wine shop did not come out to defend himself, maybe he pretended to be deaf for a while. Lin Yi smiled, turned his hand and took out ten spiritual stones and placed them in front of Pan Wenxuan. The spirit stone made his eyes light up. He looked at Lin Yi puzzledly and asked, "Brother Dao, is this...?"
Pushing the spirit stone in front of Pan Wenxuan, Lin Yi smiled and said, "I bought your jade slip."
"Since Taoist brother wants the jade slips, I'll give them to you! This spiritual stone is absolutely unacceptable..." Pan Wenxuan declined with a blush. A picture is only worth a spiritual stone, and you can easily buy it if you go to a place where monks gather. The other party was acting like this, and it was obvious that he had to dig into his own pocket to make up for the losses he had suffered from being deceived.
"You don't have to be polite, fellow Taoist! This map is useful to me. Your explanation just now has also benefited me a lot. Don't worry about a few spiritual stones. I can make friends with you!" Lin Yirong declined. Di said, then he put away the jade slips and stood up to greet Meng Shan to continue on his way.
Speaking of this, Pan Wenxuan accepted the spirit stone with some embarrassment, but his affection for Lin Yi increased greatly.
Pan Wenxuan's jade slip was indeed useful to Lin Yi. Otherwise, he would really have to lead people to slowly explore the mountains, which he had never thought of before. Where the road is difficult to travel, where there is poisonous miasma, these are not found on the map. In addition, buying the jade slips is also a way to make a good friend of the other party. If you don’t understand something on the road, you will inevitably have to ask others for help. After all, I came to Daxia for the first time, and there were too many unknown things.
When he turned around, he looked into the wine shop intentionally or unintentionally. The Baisan man actually nodded and smiled at him, with a rather approving look on his face. Lin Yi also smiled back, very casually.
When he walked to Meng Shan's table, he saw that Mu Qing'er and Xu Zixuan were also sitting there. After a slight hesitation, Lin Yi pulled a stool aside and sat down.
Mu Qing'er wanted to say hello to Lin Yi, but saw that his expression was indifferent and could not be laughed at, so he had to talk to his senior sister. But Xu Zixuan, who had always been polite and generous, seemed to have never seen the junior sister who was so close. After being called twice in a row, she suddenly answered.
Lin Yi ignored the fellow apprentices and sisters around him, discussed with Meng Shan, and asked everyone to prepare enough dry food, drinking water, medicinal materials, etc., and then hurried towards the mountain.
After leaving Luoxia Town, Lin Yi looked back. The white scattered man did not catch up, so he was relieved. An old man with the third level of Qi training appeared alone in Luoxia Town, which was a bit strange!
Even after walking a long way, Lin Yi's consciousness was secretly paying attention to the back, but he still did not see the figure of the old man. He felt a little suspicious.
When the group walked forward for twenty or thirty miles, they could occasionally see one or two mountain hunters. An hour later, no more people appeared, and the road under their feet was covered by weeds. The rocks became steeper and the jungle became more dense. If Lin Yi and Pan Wenxuan had not walked in front to lead the way, the people behind would not dare to move forward.
With the way to enter the mountain, even if there was no road under their feet, they would not go wrong. Lin Yi thought to himself that he had bought the right jade slip! At least for himself and the Tianlong Sect, the things bought with ten spirit stones were worth the money.
The deeper you go into the mountains, the more difficult the road under your feet becomes. Being in the dense forest that blocked out the sun, it was impossible to tell the direction. After walking for less than half an hour, the careful Lin Yi still jumped onto the treetop. After confirming the direction, he used his spiritual sense to lock the place to go forward, and then he jumped down and continued to lead everyone forward.
Seeing Lin Yi's light and free posture, Pan Wenxuan said enviously: "Brother Dao's wind control technique can be said to have been practiced to the extreme. I have never seen anyone so light and freehand!"
Wind control technique plus the nine changes of dragon walking, it is hard to look bad! Lin Yi was a little proud in his heart, but he couldn't show it on his face. After a polite word, he said: "This is also thanks to fellow Daoist Wenxuan for the jade slip. Otherwise, in this dense forest, I really don't know where to go?"
Pan Wenxuan was a little embarrassed and said: "Brother Dao is deliberately flattering me! If you are not with these mortals, what use is the jade slip to you?"
Lin Yi nodded secretly, jumped to the top of the jungle, and rode the wind away. How could he lose his way! That's what he thought before. But now that I am bringing so many people with me, I can't just follow them on the treetops! If there is no detailed route, there will be unexpected troubles.
After walking for two days, although the road is difficult to walk, there are no accidents. When camping at night, Lin Yi used the Four Symbols Flag Formation to cover everyone. Such a flag formation can immediately shelter from the wind and rain, and prevent the invasion of snakes and insects, which made Pan Wenxuan admire it again and again!
Lin Yi had no choice. This was not the time to hide his secrets. Elder Jiang entrusted him with important matters, so he couldn't just be perfunctory. And Pan Wenxuan was only at the second level of Qi training, so there was no need to hide anything from him.
The road was getting harder and harder to walk, or there was no road ahead at all. The rotten leaves were as thick as a foot, and if you stepped on them carelessly, your knees would be gone. On the vines that stretched to the ground, there were long insects of various colors. Even Lin Yi, who was leading the way in front, was secretly cautious when he saw the swallowing snake tongue, not to mention the disciples behind. Either Mu Qing'er screamed, or the inexplicable and harsh sound of birds chirped in their ears, and the dense forest that blocked out the sun was dark and damp, making everyone walking in it suffer.
