The Lingyun Mountains are more than [-] miles away from the west coast of Nanshu, and they are all places of spirit beasts.

The spirit beast farm is backed by the Lingshan Mountain and surrounded by the sea on three sides, which is much bigger than Zhao Yudan imagined.

The person in charge in name rarely comes here, and only scans with his spiritual sense regularly.Zhao Xidan used a spiritual mask to turn himself into a chaotic citizen, and followed Li Manlong into the spirit beast farm.

"Miss Zhao, don't worry, monks and lords can't tell who we are." Li Manlong said, "No one will look at us carefully."

In fact, Zhao Haodan didn't dare to take photos casually when he passed by the water. Although he couldn't bear to comment, but to be honest, the people in the chaos are not as human as a shaved monkey.

Large-scale aquatic spirit beasts surround the main island and inhabit the surrounding waters. Their singing and waves are indistinguishable from each other.

On the land, on the south side is an endless rainforest, stretching all the way to the foot of Lingyun Mountain, with large swamps and inland lakes in the middle, and grasslands on the north.

The roaring and screaming came one after another, a little frightening. Hearing the whistling wind, Zhao Yudan raised his head and saw a giant flying bird covering the sky and covering the sun. It was more than ten feet long, and the bird's body brushed against the top of an ancient tree. , All the water drops remaining between the branches and leaves were knocked down, as if there was a light rain on the spot.

"That's Xifenglang. This is just a young bird. It hasn't grown up yet. It's a bit naughty." Li Manlong said leisurely with his hands behind his back, "Xifenglang is big, but has a docile temperament. They are free-range... Ah, these unlucky ghosts."

After the words fell, they passed a small hill again. There were many small holes on the hill, and a special musk surged.As soon as a person passed by, a head of a mob popped out of each hole, turning around in a "tickling" manner.

Zhao Xidan: "..."

Who is this going to scare to death?

Li Manlong let out two screams from his throat. Hearing this, the heads turned around in unison, revealing their true faces—a group of big-eyed monkeys, grinning and grinning.

"These hozens are called 'blind-eyed monkeys', and they can imitate the appearance of living things around them. Sometimes you see some spirit beasts or people behave differently, and then smell the musky scent, most likely they are teasing you. But these monkeys Although my son likes to scare people for nothing, it is also useful for early warning. The spirit beasts in the free-range area cannot enter the closed area. If we see the blind monkey turning into a fierce beast, we have to pay attention, probably where the magic circle is. Broken, there are dangerous spirit beasts running out."

Immediately afterwards, they encountered spirit snakes that pierced the ground, mirage frogs that spewed out dreams one after another, and fishes that suddenly stretched their legs to come ashore... There are many spirit grass and spirit beasts that Zhao Xidan has only read in books. , she was dizzying along the way, causing her to forget her terrifying appearance at this moment.

Suddenly, she heard mobsters shouting excitedly not far away. Following the whistle, she saw a spirit beast as big as a buffalo not far away, with a pair of huge horns bent behind its head like a full moon, and its chest Standing straight, with slender limbs, she is incredibly graceful.It was completely dark, standing in the forest, like a graceful silhouette, not afraid to see people, nodding towards them as if paying tribute, before walking slowly.

"It's beautiful, what is that?"

"It's Xuanyang." Li Manlong said softly, as if he was afraid of something, "One of the three auspicious things in Southern Shu, they don't accept feeding, don't recognize their masters, and they are free... We rarely see them, Miss Tuo Blessings, good things will happen in the near future, and everything you want will come true.”

Zhao Xiaodan smiled politely, but didn't take it to heart.Back then when their group entered the Qianxiu Temple, they were greeted by green luan and white deer, and the senior stewards also said it was "auspicious".On the contrary, Qianxiu Temple was blown up just after autumn, and at the end of the year, a fire in the southern suburbs of Jinping almost burned Dawan, and then...

A shadow flashed across her mind, and she quickly pulled back her thoughts, so as not to spoil her pleasure.

After walking some distance further into the forest, Zhao Oodan felt a strong magic circle nearby.

"Further inside is the closed area. This is the land beast area, and all the dangerous spirit beasts are enclosed inside. Miss, please don't approach them at will. The people who serve them here must strictly follow a fixed time and take a fixed path. Go in to feed and tidy up. When the magic circle is good, it can block people's breath. Even so, you still have to be [-] points. Those beasts go crazy, and even a half-immortal can't resist it. Once we meet... Hey, Whoever enters the closed area on his turn will say goodbye to relatives and friends before leaving."

Zhao Haodan's heart tightened, and just as he was about to say that she could help deal with it, he heard Li Manlong smile slowly again: "It was a wonderful time, any quarrel with anyone would disappear automatically, it feels like the world is vast, take a breath The morning mist is sweet, and all these good things are occupied by us old guys, let the young people get their qualifications and wait."

Zhao Xiaodan was speechless for a moment.

Li Manlong warned her again: "This place is already within the range of the Zhenshan formation. Miss Zhao is not from Lingyun Mountain. Remember what Tai Sui told you, you must not use your spiritual energy at will. Don't take out your reincarnation wood casually. If you need to send a letter to his old man, just tell me."

Xi Ping did not come along.

This spirit beast field, Zhao Yudan can enter, but he cannot enter.Because a half-immortal has no true energy and does not retain spiritual energy, as long as Zhao Xidan does not take the initiative to animate the talisman and put on a spiritual mask, she can act like a mortal.

Ascension Master is different.

Last time, Xi Ping only built the foundation, and Sanyue Mountain was mixed with fish and dragons, so that he could get in.Now that he has ascended to the spirit, he is like a giant weighing several thousand catties. Even if the "imitation" can cover his breath and spiritual appearance, his "weight" is still there.Unless Lingyun Mountain's Zhenshan Formation cracked like the bear of Sanyue back then, he would step in, and the stirring aura would immediately attract Lingyun's Mountain-Zhitting Artifact.

"Stay in peace for a while, and take whatever you see from the Spiritual Beast Farm. You're welcome." Before leaving, Xi Ping said to her, "Then wait."

"Wait for what?"

"When Zhenshan is in turmoil, Lingyun Xianshan's spiritual energy leaks out." Xi Ping said with a smile, "All the evil spirits are here, if Xianshan doesn't respond... then it will be too bad. Don't worry, if that's the case, I'll 'remind' it when the time comes."

The speech of this senior shit-stirring stick made the eldest lady speechless, so she could only say dryly: "That's much, thank you, senior?"

"Before that, you can continue to polish your Dao heart." Tai Sui said this, he became serious again, and suddenly he became a mysterious senior ascending spirit, "Your Dao heart comes from your heart, everything has to be explored by yourself , unlike the ones that were directly copied from the teacher... I had a friend in the past, and his Taoism had polished a corner of Jiazi belt. If you want, you can also talk to these Nanhe people, they will just not listen Will say, don't ask random questions to disturb your mind. This place is uncomfortable to live in, but it is good for you."

The benefits are true, the aura here is as abundant as Qianxiu Temple, and there are precious spiritual grasses and wild vegetables that are hard to buy outside, and she can use it at will to regulate the meridians, but it is a bit difficult to talk to the chaotic people.

Except for Li Manlong and a few people who can communicate with gestures and stammers, most of the chaos people are not very able to speak. They communicate with each other with different high and low whistles, and outsiders cannot hear the way.

Mr. Li is the uncrowned king of the entire spirit beast field. Every chaotic citizen will stop to pay respects when they see him, and let him stroke the top of their bare head.

It's hard to tell the difference between men, women and children. Their bodies are all curled up in the same way, and their voices are all the same high-pitched. They are covered with colorless rags.Only by very careful comparison can it be seen that the woman has a few more hairs and thinner bones.

"Girls live here, I told them to clean up the house for you in advance, the hospitality is not good, miss don't take offense."

"Where, Mr. Li, you're welcome." In fact, Zhao Xidan was already ready to live in the cowshed—it's okay, the body of a half-immortal can be free from stains, and she has no obsession with cleanliness.Establishing the foundation even has to endure the reshaping of the meridians, so what is there to be afraid of where you live?

Unexpectedly, the house surprised her.

The climate in southern Sichuan is warm, and there is no need to seal the doors and windows all year round, so the house is well lit.Mosquito-proof moxa leaf curtains are hung on the windows, and the ends are shaped into delicate little pouches.The walls and floors are spotless, and there is a hand-woven edelweiss blanket on the thatched bed. I don’t know who is so thoughtful, and put a bunch of light yellow flowers of the same color as the edelweiss at the window.

The chaos knew that she was not of the same kind, and fearing that she would dislike her, they all avoided peeping from a distance, and dared not come over.

Li Manlong pointed to the bouquet of flowers and said something in ancient Nanhe language, probably in praise, after saying it several times, a slender chaotic man ran up with a bit of shyness and stretched out his head to pat Li Lao.

Her facial features were horribly shrunk in the middle, and there seemed to be a hole on her face out of thin air... That was the terrifying smile of the chaos.She ran over in a hurry, performed an ancient Nanhe salute to Zhao Xidan, which can only be seen in books now, and slipped away again without waiting for the salute.

But for a moment, Zhao Xidan realized very clearly that this was a Nanhe girl trapped in the body of a monster.

"Old Li," Zhao Xidan couldn't help but said, "I don't mean to offend, but...you are very different from the rumors I've heard before."

"The rumors are true. Those of us who were abandoned by Lingshan can't be human beings. Most of them die before they are 30 or [-] years old. Nearly half of them are born stupid, and some of them are not stupid at first... Later, they found that they couldn't live without being stupid, so they had to Follow the custom. It was Boss Wei who gave us a way to survive, Tai Sui brought us together, as long as there is a way, we will go on no matter what." Li Manlong said, "Otherwise, who would still remember the accent of the hometown."

On the fairy island in the South China Sea, the Queen Mother of the West held down the pipa, and the lingering sound of the ancient land dissipated.

She was absent-minded for a while, as if waiting for an echo from the void, but there was none.

Queen Mother Xi sighed: "You're back, how are you?"

Emperor Guang'an landed behind her as if appearing out of nowhere: "With my cultivation base, I can't break through. The magic circle around this island is comparable to the Lingshan Zhenshan formation. The inscriptions on the bottom of the sea are unheard of... sorry."

The Queen Mother of the West shook her head: "I heard a rumor that the three islands of Nanshu and the main island were actually connected, but somehow they were covered by sea water, and there was actually a spiritual vein extending from Lingyun Mountain underneath... ...Could it be that the so-called 'South Sea Secret Realm' is that spirit vein?"

At this time, an unusually gentle and deep man's voice came: "That's right."

"Who?!"

A beam of sword energy from Guang'an Jun had already flown towards the sea, but it missed.

I saw a figure floating out of the sea, and the sword energy split the sea water into a deep ditch, but it didn't hurt the figure in the slightest.Xuying performed an ancient Nanhe ceremony to the two of them, and said in a not-so-fluent but sincere saying: "My lord, Ge Luobao, this time the preparations were hasty and the reception was poor. I was just aroused by a piece of pipa music by His Highness. Qian Sixu came here uninvited and did not intentionally eavesdrop, Your Highness forgive me."

The Queen Mother of the West said indifferently: "It's just the song of the country's subjugation for a dog that loses its home."

"Mia is sick and sympathetic to each other," Wang Geluobao sighed, "The situation of my people these years, you two must have heard about it, the threshold for my people to enter Taoism is getting higher and higher, and there is almost no way out except for Dan and Qi. Let's go. It's not that pills and weapons are bad, but they all need to be condensed and inspired. Not everyone can make achievements. Besides, these two methods are not good at fighting. As time goes by, my family is suppressed more and more in Lingshan The trend of crowding out the Mia people in the mortal world has also intensified, and there is no place for our people to stay on the main island."

The Queen Mother of the West and Mr. Guang'an looked at each other, they didn't expect Wang Geluobao to be so straightforward.

The Queen Mother of the West asked: "So, fellow daoists are backed by the Mi'a tribe in Lingyun Mountain?"

"That's right. I was originally born as a descending dragon rider who walked in the world. Because the Taoist heart I found was not in the two ways of alchemy and equipment, Lingshan didn't allow me to build a foundation," Wang Geluobao said, "The patriarch and uncle couldn't fight, so I feigned death to get away. , pouring out the strength of the whole family for my cultivation, I have just achieved my current ascension."

"Fellow Daoist must be very talented."

Wang Geluobao shook his head: "Don't dare, it's a fluke, the Taoism I inherited came from my Lingyun Mountain ancestor Tianbo Zhenren."

As Wang Geluobao said, his body turned into light smoke and he swung upwards. His voice sounded over the islands and landed in the ears of different people, presenting different languages: "Over the years, the Taoist heart of the ancestor Tianbo has been scattered in the south. In the Shu Islands, he was never born to protect the country and the people. His old man is a hybrid of Xiuyi Mi and Ah. It was through him that our two clans were united, cleared away all evil, and built Lingyun Mountain. Before the old ancestor returned Wuchen Leaving a secret letter, if the two clans are in harmony, his Dao heart will never be born, if one day the two clans split... Those who inherit his Dao heart can find the secret place under the sea of ​​Lingyun Mountain to protect the clansmen.

This was supposed to be my destiny, but to open the secret realm, it takes a cicada to molt and cultivate, but the Wing Cultivator can't wait to drive us all to extinction.This is the next time I have invited all my fellow Taoists to help me.All the resources in the secret realm, the Mia tribe is willing to share with you.Wang Geluobao can swear a heart demon oath with you all! "

At this moment, all the eyes on the Wuxin lotus in the depths of the sea opened at the same time, and Zhuo Ming suddenly emerged from the lotus root belt—someone moved the reincarnation tree, and sure enough someone was contacting Tai Sui at any time!

"caught you."

At the same time, Xi Ping's real body crushed the note, and sent letters to Lu Wu and Li Manlong respectively. He sensed that the seeds of the reincarnated wood had been hidden in the feed of spirit beasts, and passed through the Wugu Temple of some spirit beasts. It landed in the corner of Lingyun Mountain.

At this time, Zhao Xidan had already lived in the spirit beast farm for ten days.

In the beginning, she was often startled by roars coming from nowhere, and she couldn't communicate with the chaos.A few days later, when Li Manlong was teaching the rioters to speak the ancient Nanhe language, Zhao Yudan walked over quietly.Even though she was wearing the spirit mask of the chaotic people, her gestures and gestures were still very different. Everyone recognized this alien at a glance, and carefully moved an open space for her, not daring to approach her ashamed.

Old Li taught a sentence, and even the pronunciation was low.

But I heard Zhao Haodan say it generously - Nanhe destroyed the country, the language has long been used by no one, and he is as knowledgeable as Zhao Haodan, who learned a little for fun when he was young, so he can only listen to it by guessing again and again , Speaking even more with a big tongue.

Li Manlong corrected her pronunciation without changing his face, Zhao Xidan didn't seem to feel ashamed at all, like a clumsy child, he learned it loudly again.The rabble-rousers were surprised to find that this eloquent lady monk also stumbled when learning to speak, often forgetting words and getting stuck.

The next day, some bold young people let go of their courage and read along with her.

Day three, day four...

Gradually, the chaotic people began to get used to the voice who learned the loudest and made the most mistakes, and forgot that she was a different kind.When Mr. Li suddenly asked a question and she couldn't respond well, someone would secretly poke her and gesture, and when they heard her make a funny mistake, all the chaotic people's facial features would be dented together, and they would lean forward and back together to laugh.

The open space around Miss Friar gradually disappeared.

She still can't distinguish the high and low whistling sounds, she will try to learn and sell, and use the Nanhe dialect she just learned to communicate with the rioters. laugh at her.

The night wind with aura brushed her meridians, and Zhao Dandan's Dao heart, which always felt unsteady because he had no inheritance, was suddenly settled in the midst of the stern laughter of the disorderly people.

People are born different, some people are born with a golden spoon, some people are born with a golden spoon, and some people are born with a golden spoon; Divided into three, six, nine, etc... But so what?

Should the frail and sickly lie in bed waiting to die?Does one have to be born poor and humble for life?Should a woman be tattooed with the mark of slavery, and be an involuntary bargaining chip for giving birth to the cubs?

She wants everyone in this world to live a life to fulfill themselves, even if they try their best until they die, just struggling to maintain their human form.

At this moment, there was a rumbling sound like thunder in the ground.

The originally laughing rioters suddenly became nervous, and countless spirit beasts around them let out uneasily growls, and a kind of spirit beast called "Moonlight Bird" went up to the sky collectively, forming a triangle.

Zhao Xidan got up suddenly, and clasped a hand tactic - she had read the moonlight bird in the classics, and it was the most spiritual bird, which could predict the crisis.

"Be safe and don't be impatient," Li Manlong methodically directed the crowd to check the spirit beast cages and magic circles, "Miss Zhao, follow me."

Zhao Xiaodan hurriedly followed, seeing Li Manlong carefully inspected the surroundings after returning to the house, and opened a hidden compartment from behind the bed, inside was a machine that Zhao Xiaodan was very familiar with...

It is the "Xinhongji" (Note) that has just emerged in Nanwan in recent years.

Zhao Xidan didn't know the reason. He only knew that this thing was neither a fairy weapon nor a downgraded fairy weapon. It was completely mortal, but it could encode the text and transmit it from one place to another.

A note came from the machine, and Li Manlong took a densely packed cipher text and engraved it against the photo, translated the coded text, and wrote: The time has come.
