Big Black Mountain.
The place where Lu Yi and others arrived was called Dahei Mountain.
The huge fleet was hiding in a vast ocean of chaotic stardust. The messy dust rubbed against each other, constantly splashing endless flames and bursting out terrifying magnetic fields. The magnetic field, light, and space were all in chaos, as if there was a top-level powerful being constantly disturbing the destiny. Unless it was an emperor-level existence, no one would be able to discover this fleet of astonishing scale in this chaotic stardust.
A precious mirror hung high in the main cabin of the bridge, the mirror light sparkling, showing the real-time scene of the vast sky ahead.
It was an endless and chaotic void composed of countless black gravels of different sizes.
There are small stones, ranging from the size of a fist to the size of a human head, from the size of a carriage to the size of a mountain... and large stones, with diameters of hundreds, thousands, or even tens of thousands of miles, are everywhere.
These rocks achieved a strange magnetic field balance in the void, like small stones embedded in amber, floating lightly, following some extremely complex trajectory, rotating and moving fast or slow, but no two stones would collide with each other.
Countless large and small warships, like flying insects, flew back and forth among these stones, busy like industrious bees.
The warships were simple, only a few feet long, covered with patches, and occasionally spewed out black smoke and sparks, looking like they could disintegrate at any time. The luxurious ones were hundreds of miles long, shining brightly, and their hulls were as smooth as glazed tiles, without any wear and tear.
In some places on those huge black rocks, simple strongholds were built, and hundreds or thousands of people gathered together. They dared to travel back and forth among the rocks, pulling a few or dozens of tattered sampans, and made a living by robbing.
In some places, they built large cities, formed formal armies, possessed hundreds or thousands of large warships, and established themselves as kings, living seriously.
There are also some extremely large black stones, covered with thick atmosphere. Some areas on the surface of the stone are piled with thick soil. There are also powerful people who arrange formations at the core of the black stone, ignite the earth fire, turn it into a vibrant earth vein, and give birth to the vitality of the entire black stone.
As a result, these originally lifeless black stones became quite beautiful. Farms and fields were opened up on them, villages, towns and cities were built, and there was a large force that unified and controlled their management, making them look like a paradise dynasty.
Of course, there is no paradise. In the area of ​​Daheishan, there is no law and order, and the strong prey on the weak. It follows the most primitive law of the jungle. So the big and small forces attack and kill each other, just like a group of bloodthirsty beasts of different species are imprisoned together, and everyone is thinking about how to tear a piece of flesh from their neighbors, no matter what means are used.
In this situation, even bandits with only three or five small sampans dared to attack those powerful forces with tens of thousands of warships... They were truly insane and lawless to the extreme.
This is the Great Black Mountain.
According to legend, this boundless black stone sky was originally a huge mountain that was completely black. Once upon a time, there was an extremely powerful ancient sect on this black mountain. Later, when the ancient Nalanda Temple was destroyed and several great emperors rose to power, the black mountain was also attacked devastatingly. The sect was destroyed, the temple was broken, and the entire black mountain was shattered by the powerful, turning into the vast and chaotic black stone ocean today.
"The place is too big, too chaotic, and there is absolutely no law." Linghu Tian looked at the messy black stones in the mirror and shook his head: "Although I know a few locations, but..."
Linghu Tian and others, as well as Laojun of Tianshu, looked at Lu Yi at the same time.
"Little monk?" Lu Yi's eyes widened: "With my little body..."
Linghu Tian coughed lightly and said, "I can only trouble the elders of the Fahai clan. After all, none of us look like the kind of people who hang out in the Great Black Mountain. If we show up, I'm afraid we'll scare those people. And the elders of the Fahai clan, as a Buddhist cultivator, a Buddhist cultivator... are the most suitable for an environment like the Great Black Mountain."
Lu Yu looked at Linghu Tian curiously: "What do you mean by that?"
Tianshu Laojun smiled and said, "That's true. Ever since the destruction of the Buddhist holy land, the ancient Nalanda Temple, the Buddhist practitioners of the Supreme Taichu Heaven have lost their foundation and their inheritance. As a result, there are not many decent monks left. The place is full of fake monks who are sanctimonious and cheat people everywhere... Ahem, no matter where you go, the Buddhist practitioners are all so dignified."
Lu Yu looked at the Heavenly Book Laojun and said, "Buddha, have mercy on me, Laojun. I am a legitimate Buddhist disciple!"
Tianshu Laojun smiled so hard that his eyes narrowed. "Yes, yes, he is a serious monk who eats meat and drinks wine and wants to have a lot of babies... That's all. Your Buddhist inheritance from Liangyi Heaven in the lower world... Tsk, it's nothing in the Supreme Taichu Heaven... After this matter is completed, I will go to the secret library of the Heavenly Palace and find you some truly powerful Buddhist true teachings!"
Then, a small boat, no more than thirty meters long, with an ordinary appearance and designed in the style of a black-sailed boat, flew out from the flagship.
Lu Yi brought A Hu and a few others with him. There were several Yakshas and Rakshasas hidden in the cabin, and tens of thousands of tiny people piled up in the shadows. They slowly left the fleet and headed straight for the endless black stone ahead.
Although it sounds unpleasant, we have to admit that in the Great Black Mountain, the temperaments of Linghu Tian, ​​Tianshu Laojun and others are incompatible with the natives here, and their flaws will be seen through at a glance.
As for Lu Yu, as a Buddhist practitioner, as long as he maintains that dignified and righteous appearance, he will not make any mistakes - isn't this how Buddhist practitioners behave wherever they go?
You wear a monk's robe and a fur cassock, and chant the Buddha's name all the time, talking about "compassion" and "karma". No matter whether you have a belly full of scriptures or a belly full of "essence" or something like that, unless we break your head and dig out your soul to make a clear distinction, who will know whether you are a real monk or a fake monk who is swindling people?
Lu Yi stood at the bow, with his hands clasped together. Thirty-six white bone relics hung on his palms. His eyes rolled around as he looked at the scenery along the way.
A few tattered boats slid by not far away, and a few young men waved their knives towards this side, as if they wanted to rush up and rob.
However, some experienced people immediately stopped these young people.
Lu Yi vaguely heard words like "poor monk", "no money", "most vindictive", "endless troubles" and so on...
Well!
Lu Yi looked down at his blue monk robe and shook his shoulders with a smile. Well, Linghu Tian, ​​Tianshu Laojun and the others were right. This Great Black Mountain is only suitable for monks to walk on.
Recalling the confessions of the Linghu clan members in his mind, Lu Yi steered the boat slowly and carefully along several public waterways inside Dahei Mountain. These public waterways were relatively peaceful, with a large passenger flow, and there were large and small forces along the way who spontaneously maintained order on these waterways.
Unless you are extremely unlucky and encounter some crazy murderer or a newly minted bandit who is driven crazy by poverty, the probability of running into trouble on these public waterways is not high.
After traveling for most of the day, they entered the edge of the Great Black Mountain for tens of thousands of miles, bypassed a huge rock with holes all over it, and suddenly a round black stone shaped like a vegetable plate appeared in front of them. On the round black stone with a diameter of less than 100 miles, there was a thin layer of soil, a lot of trees, withered grass, and some scattered small bungalows in the middle, with seven or eight streets in a crisscross pattern.
At the edge of the black stone, a Jingguan more than ten feet high was built using human skulls.
A bone flag was inserted on the top of the Jingguan, and a white flag made of human skin moved without wind. A bloody skull rolled and wailed inside the flag, and green phosphorous fire kept spewing out of its seven orifices. The monstrous yin and evil spirits overflowed, which was extremely scary.
'Skull Market' is the name of the small market ahead.
On the outskirts of Dahei Mountain, there is a very famous black market. Selling stolen goods, eating, drinking, whoring and gambling, even hiring assassins, selling intelligence... You can find all the legal and illegal businesses you can think of here.
Some people say that in Skull World, as long as you have enough financial resources and enough military force to protect them, then you are the "boss", and you can enjoy all the top enjoyments like a real emperor.
Of course, as long as you have enough financial resources, you can also buy all the treasures you can imagine, all the beauties you can fantasize about, and all the objects you know that exist in the world at Skull Collection!
All in all, although the Skull Group’s territory is not large, its reputation is extremely loud.
"All the best enjoyments? All the treasures? All the beauties? All the objects?" Lu Yi curled his lips: "I want the Eight Scenery Treasure Lantern, can you get it? I want the concubine of the Great Emperor Taichu, and you dare to sell it? I want the Buddhist treasures of the ancient Nalanda Temple, can you get it too?"
Shaking his head, Lu Yi muttered in a low voice: "False advertising, it's a scam!"
However, according to the confessions of the Linghu clan members who were thrown into the secret prison, the contact base of the person related to them was in the Skull Collection. There was no fixed time or place for the transactions between the Linghu clan and the other party. They would contact the other party at the Skull Collection and randomly arrange the meeting place according to the amount and type of goods to be traded.
There were many contact locations and contact methods extracted from the many members of the Linghu clan, but the only known, regular, fixed contact point was Skull Collection.
In addition, the regular contact channels with the other party were revealed by the imprisoned Linghu clan members. As far as they knew, the other regular contact channels were only controlled by Linghu Ku.
However, Linghu Ku had already passed away, so the only contact point that Lu Yi and others could attack was Skull Collection.
The Dahei Mountain is in chaos, with various forces intertwined and complicated. Even the Linghu family has some shady businesses here and has hired some thugs to hang out here.
The fleet brought by Linghu Tian and his men is indeed huge, and their own cultivation is indeed extremely high, but in a place like Dahei Mountain, if one is not careful, it is possible that the other party will get wind of it and escape, and the connection will be completely cut off...and this, whether it is the Linghu family, Laojun Tianshu, or even the Taiyu Emperor behind the Linghu family and the Taichu Emperor behind Laojun Tianshu, will never allow it to happen.
The boat slowly drifted towards the Skeleton Collection.
At the edge of the black stone, at the top of the Jingguan, the hideous skull-and-human skin flag swayed slightly, and a ray of evil light shone towards Lu Yu. Lu Yu snorted coldly, and a diamond light lit up on his body. With a melodious Sanskrit chant, he raised his right hand and slammed the evil light with his palm.
There was a loud bang, as if a huge bell had collapsed, and the evil light was smashed to pieces by Lu Yi's palm.
Behind the Jingguan, two skinny monks, who were only breathing a breath of life, rose into the air on the cold wind and phosphorescent fire , holding two bone swords surrounded by cold wind, and looked towards Lu Yi.
“Hehe, it’s the thief baldy!” A cultivator laughed strangely: “I’m unfamiliar with you, you…”
Lu Yi waved his sleeves, and with a clang, a large pile of 'Thunder Copper' ingots that had been refined to 90% purity, three feet long, half a foot wide, three inches thick, with a few bumps on the surface, and obviously with ordinary refining and smelting technology, flew out of his sleeves and formed a small pile at the bow.
Thunder Copper, thunder-attributed spiritual gold, is a natural top-grade treasure with the dual attributes of thunder and gold. It is an important material for forging heavenly general-level and even star-lord-level thunder-attributed offensive weapons. Due to its powerful killing effect, especially its restraining effect on certain specific skills and physiques, most of the known Thunder Copper veins are controlled by the official Heaven Court, and a few veins are controlled by the giant families of the Heavenly Valve in various places. Only occasionally, a little bit will flow into the black market.
The amount of thunder copper thrown out by Lu Yi was enough to forge more than a dozen medium-sized weapons, and its value was indeed very high.
Especially the craftsmanship of these copper ingots, which were obviously made in a small workshop. There were also traces of blood on them, and even a faint smell of blood lingering.
The two monks raised their eyebrows and chuckled, "So it's an honored guest. Great, great! Please come in, please come in... Oh, Master, you overreacted just now. We just wanted to raise this skull flag to see if Master has anything taboo on him. It won't hurt you at all!"
Lu Yi said calmly: "Good and evil cannot coexist. I cannot even look at such an evil thing, how can I let it get close to me?"
The two monks were stunned for a moment, exchanged glances, and started laughing.
Such a serious and sanctimonious look, plus these thundering coppers that were clearly obtained from robbing houses... Look at the tall and strong men standing behind Lu Yi, with a face full of flesh. Although they have shaved heads and dress like monks, they have a sinister aura and a vulgar air all over their bodies. It is obvious that they are not good people...
Come on, this is indeed a serious monk.
The two monks did not argue with Lu Yi, but pointed directly at the edge of the Skeleton Collection, where a row of wooden piers stretched out into the void: "Come on, your old boat, if you have the magical power to store it, then take it with you. If you have lost your inheritance and have not condensed the magical power of the Palm Buddha Kingdom... there is a place to dock the boat over there, thirty emperor coins per hour, you can dock as long as you like."
"However, if you fail to pay the mooring fee before leaving, the boat will belong to our Skull Group... Let me be frank with you, and everything will be done according to the rules!"
Lu Yi responded and steered the boat slowly forward.
When they reached the edge of the black stone, Lu Yi shook his palm, and the boat and the thundering copper on the bow disappeared at the same time, and were taken into the five-element small space in his body. With a few muffled "dong dong" sounds, several Yakshas and Rakshasas brought by Lu Yi rushed out of the cabin, shaking their heads, and stretched their bodies vigorously. Several Yakshas even flapped their flesh wings and flew into the air, flapping their wings and hovering above Lu Yi's head.
“Oh, what a fierce guardian!” The two monks could not help but exclaim: “Master, where did you get this strange creature? If you want to sell it, remember to go to the Skull Pavilion. I will definitely give you a good price!”
Lu Yi waved his hand and walked straight towards the Skeleton Collection.
With a "wooo" sound, the caracal that also jumped out from the cabin raised its tail, shrank its body to two feet long, and walked in front of Lu Yi with its head held high.
The big parrot naturally lay on Lu Yi's head.
The alligator snapping turtle squatted on Lu Yi's shoulder, and the green snake hid obediently in Lu Yi's sleeve.
Dahuang swung his tail and retracted his dragon-like features such as horns, scales, whiskers and claws, turning into a most standard big yellow dog. With a slight grin on his face, he followed Lu Yi happily.
The two monks laughed again.
This monk seems to be a family man... Look, look, he has cats and dogs, he is indeed a blessed man.
There were no walls in Skull Market, just seven or eight streets running vertically and horizontally, with large flat houses of different sizes and made of different materials built on both sides. Standing at the entrance of a street, Lu Yi could smell the aroma of wine and meat, hear the crowing of chickens and barking of dogs, and even the sound of stringed instruments and pipa.
"Dang Dang Dang", right next to Lu Yi, is a butcher shop that covers a large area.
Several men, over ten feet tall and strong, were chopping huge animal bones with kitchen knives behind the counter. Pieces of bright red meat were hung on iron hooks. Next to the counter was a large stove with a huge iron pot three feet in diameter on it. White soup was boiling. I don't know what kind of exotic spices were used. The meat boiling in the pot exuded an extremely rich and fresh fragrance, which made Lu Yi's mouth water, and the caracal even screamed.
"Monk, would you like a piece? This is a good thing we got yesterday." A big man chopped the golden machete on the chopping board, wiped his hands on his apron, and boasted proudly: "Have you heard of the Dugu family? One of the largest families under Emperor Taiyu. This is the favorite pet mount of one of their young ladies, the 'Baixia Jiao'... Hehe, a good man attacked the young lady, and now he is waiting to be picked up in the 'Pinxiang Pavilion'. The meat of the Baixia Jiao is in this pot!"
"An alien dragon is really rare, especially since its owner is of such a noble status!"
"Big monk, have a few pieces of dragon meat first. Once you're full, if you have enough money, why not go to the Pinxiang Pavilion and bid for one or two? Who knows, maybe you can have the first soup of the eldest lady of the Dugu family? Hehe, happy!"
The big man laughed so hard that he burped.
Lu Yi remained silent, took out a handful of imperial coins and threw them to the big man, in exchange for a clay pot of Baixiajiao meat, which he distributed to the caracal, alligator turtle, green snake and rhubarb.
Rhubarb and caracal are just greedy, and eating this meat is just to satisfy the craving.
But the green snake and the alligator turtle, after they ate the meat of the white dragon, there was a faint glow on their bodies, and it was obvious that they got some benefits from the dragon meat.
The big men standing behind the counter remained silent.
They stared at the big yellow cat, the caracal, the alligator snapping turtle, the green snake and the big parrot, with saliva oozing from the corners of their mouths.
The big parrot raised its wings and cursed at the greedy men in a weird voice: "What are you looking at me for? Is it because your real father is missing, and you want to cling to my thigh and claim me as your father for fun?"
These words... several big men raised their brows and picked up their machetes to attack.
A low roar was heard, and the scales of the several Rakshasas following behind Lu Yi stood up. Their eyes were bloodshot, and they bared their teeth at the big men, with large amounts of saliva constantly dripping from the corners of their mouths.
Several big men shuddered at the same time and took two steps back. The leading big man shouted sternly: "Monk, take care of your bird. In the Skull Gathering..."
Without waiting for the big man to finish his words, Lu Yi said in a cold voice: "I heard that Skull Market is a place with rules. I only heard that you are not allowed to use weapons, but I have never heard that you are not allowed to curse... Or, if you are not convinced, you can also curse my bird... If you can win by cursing, that is your ability."
"If you can't, or don't want to, just shut up!" With a wave of his sleeves, a gust of wind rose from the ground, sweeping up a lot of mud and sand and rushing towards the big pot. Lu Yi happily watched several big men frantically blocking the big pot, fearing that the mud and sand would enter the pot and ruin their pot of good meat.
Lu Yi clapped his hands and laughed, with a hint of madness, and took small steps with a little jumping, and staggered into the Skeleton Collection.
Several big men were furious and cursed behind him.
The big parrot was so excited that its face turned red, and it yelled at the big men. Those men were vulgar and uneducated, so how could they scold the big parrot that had been tested and experienced many battles by Lu Yi's side?
After just a dozen words, several big men were so angry that they almost wanted to draw their swords and chop people!
Not long after, all kinds of people in the Skeleton Assembly learned from their own channels that a restless foreign monk had come in... In particular, many people knew that this foreign monk seemed to have extremely lucrative benefits!
Soon, there were several openly spies around Lu Yi.
They followed Lu Yi closely, winking and smiling at him. Their expressions clearly told Lu Yi - 'We have set our eyes on you, a big fat sheep, so don't even think about running away'!
This is a provocation, an undisguised provocation.
In particular, these spies are fighting each other openly and secretly. You may nudge me with your elbow, or I may step hard on your toes, or I may put my shoulder heavily on your chest when I pass by you!
For a while, there was quite a chaotic situation around Lu Yi.
Lu Yi looked at these spies with a cold grin, and pointed at them fiercely without disguising: "Okay, okay, okay, I'll wait for you here, and see how you die one by one! When I'm done with the things at hand, we'll go to the Skull Assembly, and each of us will decide life or death based on our own methods!"
Strange laughter could be heard from the surrounding shops and the people on the street.
In the distance, someone whistled in a strange voice: "This is a fierce dragon crossing the river. You guys who are licking blood from the blade, be careful not to lick the blade!"
Lu Yi ignored these guys.
He was confident, that's it. Not to mention that once he sent out a signal, a huge army of hundreds of millions would surge in, enough to sweep across the Great Black Mountain. Just the Yakshas, ​​Rakshasas, and those little evil men he brought with him... Just these little evil men hidden in his shadow, countless millions of them hidden in his small shadow, they were enough to massacre the Skull Set with blood!
These guys who are shouting so happily are nothing but chickens and dogs and can be destroyed in the blink of an eye.
The thirty-six white bone relics jingled at his fingertips, emitting a faint warmth. Lu Yi also smiled, he would not forget these old friends... Yu Dianhu and the others had already recovered their bodies, and with the blessing of the thirty-six precious beads of the Great Emperor Taichu, their cultivation was much stronger than Lu Yi's, and their bodies were even more powerful.
And there are five uncles around me!
Uh, Lu Yi drew some blood from Yu Dianhu and the others and fed it to the five uncles.
Yu Dianhu and the others only combined a tiny bit of the power of the thirty-six gems bestowed by the Great Emperor Taichu. The vast majority of the power was still sealed in their bodies, waiting for them to gradually adapt and absorb and integrate.
Therefore, a little bit of blood in their bodies made the cultivation of the five masters soar.
Because of their innate bloodline of the five elements and five sacred beasts, their speed of improvement was extremely astonishing. The five masters seemed harmless, but one of them had a bit of a bad mouth. If they were to show their true form... As far as we can see, these people whose cultivation is at most at the Tianxiao realm can be swept away by the five masters with just a breath.
Shaking his sleeves and chanting Buddhist scriptures.
Lu Yi walked into a shop that specialized in collecting and selling stolen goods in a very serious manner, and sold all the 6,852 cubes of thunder copper and 62 cubes of electric silver on his body to the shop owner.
The number of Thunder Coppers was both zero and integer, which further indicated that it was stolen goods.
Lightning silver is a more precious mineral than thunder copper. It is usually found in very small quantities in super-large thunder copper veins. Mining is difficult, and extraction is even more difficult. Thunder copper, at its strongest, can only be used to forge weapons of the Star Lord level, while lightning silver can be used to forge treasures of the Celestial Lord level, or even the Half-Step Great Celestial Lord level.
Therefore, Thunder Copper is not easy to get, but Electric Silver is even rarer, so it can naturally be sold at a good price.
Six thousand eight hundred and fifty-two square meters of thundering copper.
Sixty-two squares of electric silver.
Six thousand eight hundred and fifty-two, sixty-two...both zeros and whole numbers.
The shop owner who collected the stolen goods took a deep look at Lu Yi and said quietly, "Monk, I don't think you are a man who follows the rules. Do you eat meat? Do you drink? Do you tease young ladies?"
"No, no, no, no." Lu Yi hurriedly shook his head: "What fun is there in life if there is no eating meat and drinking wine with young ladies? Not to mention young ladies, hey, if you get a few vixens here, I can also handle it!"
The shop owner narrowed his eyes slightly, and he smiled and said, "Vox spirits are such rare things, I have only heard of them, where have I seen them? Well, well, according to legends, they existed before. But since the establishment of the Heavenly Palace, the rules of heaven and earth do not allow creatures to become spirits after birth... If you want to see a fox spirit again, tsk tsk!"
"Difficult, difficult, difficult." With a sigh, the shop owner pointed to a huge bungalow with red lanterns hanging in front and behind the door across from his shop. "Since monks eat meat, drink wine, and play with young ladies, then I'll introduce you to a good place. Look, that Nuanyu Tower over there is a good place as famous as Skull Collection and Pinxiang Pavilion. The girls inside are not as good as vixen, but they are almost the same... Monk, are you interested in going to sit with them?"
Lu Yi looked at the shop owner suspiciously: "So attentive? Are you friends with the owner of Nuanyulou? Are you trying to attract customers for him?"
Without waiting for the shop owner to answer, Lu Yu smiled and patted his waist: "Forget it, I have an indestructible body, hehe, so I can try these annoying little demons... Oh, let's see if their worldly desires can destroy this body of mine that can subdue demons."
"Hey, I also want to see how long you can last? Three days? Five days?"
Shaking his head, Lu Yi said calmly: "Alcohol and sex are harmful to people. In three days at most, I will have to go to the Buddha and recite sutras to repent!"
Lu Yi walked out of the shop where he collected and sold stolen goods without looking back, and strode towards the Nuan Yu Tower.
Through the specific value of the goods, Lu Yi has told the shop owner who collects and sells stolen goods that he came to find them... and he will only stay for three days. After three days, he will leave Skull Market.
Moreover, Lu Yi specifically mentioned the three words "fox spirit". If the shop owner was not stupid, he would naturally know that he was from the Linghu clan.
This set of connection process, wow... Lu Yi couldn't help but grin, it seems to be quite decent?
But what's the use?
The people of the Linghu family could not bear the torture and confessed everything.
When he entered Nuanyulou, it was indeed broad daylight, with bright lights, wine and women, and a foul smell. Lu Yu was not polite and directly called the madam over, booked a small courtyard in a fine house, and called dozens of pretty young ladies to come.
Lu Yi did not discriminate against these young ladies, but he indeed had no interest in the activities of the brothel.
But it’s different for Ah Hu and the others.
These are the street heroes who grew up hanging out on the streets of Gaojing City. They are not the chaste 'boudoir men'!
For a while, in the courtyard that Lu Yi rented, there were cries and screams one after another, like three or five stringed instruments playing. Around the courtyard, the increasing number of people listening became upset and wanted to break into the courtyard, hack Lu Yi and his group to death, and directly rob the huge amount of imperial money that Lu Yi had obtained from selling stolen goods.
This went on for more than a day. One day, several pretty maids brought all kinds of fine wine and delicacies into Lu Yi's courtyard.
A figure flashed by, and a little girl who looked no more than 28 years old quietly and silently entered the room where Lu Yi was sitting cross-legged and chanting scriptures.
"Monks are very determined. You are the first one who doesn't look for a girl to have fun with when he arrives at Nuan Yu Tower." The girl, who was pink and fair in complexion and looked harmless, like a girl next door who had just grown up, came straight to Lu Yi with a smile and a friendly look, and blew a breath of warm fragrance gently on his face.
"Bang!"
Lu Yi slapped away the fragrance exhaled by the girl with a slap, and the big slap was printed on her face.
The girl was caught off guard and was hit so hard that she spun 3,600 degrees on the spot and fell headfirst to the ground.
The slap was quite heavy. The girl shook her head. After a long while, she raised her head, covering her swollen face, and stared at Lu Yi with great anger: "You thief monk, you..."
After taking a deep breath, the girl's eyes twitched violently and she said coldly, "Who asked you to come?"
Lu Yi looked at the girl coldly: "It wasn't you before!"
The girl sneered: "The problem is, it wasn't you before... What happened in Qingsang Yunlu? Linghu Yuncheng is closed and isolated inside and outside, what happened?"
Lu Yi coughed lightly and said, "Well, it seems that I found the right person. Well, our transaction will be stopped from now on."
The girl's eyes widened, and she stood up in a hurry. She didn't care about the heavy slap Lu Yi had just given her, and she said in a hoarse voice: "Stop? Haha, you just stop when you say so? This is totally incomprehensible. You Linghu clan... are simply... scary. You don't have the final say. Let the person who can make the decision come!"
Lu Yu spread his hands and said, "This is what I want to say to you. You little girl, your words don't count. Let the person who can make the decision make the decision!"
The girl closed her mouth and looked Lu Yi up and down.
Lu Yi slowly stood up, his 16-foot-tall stature standing in front of the girl who was no more than 5 feet tall. As Lu Yi slowly straightened his body, she could only raise her head with great difficulty to look up and barely see Lu Yi's chin.
The girl became more and more angry. She hissed, "Monk, tell me your origins first."
The white bone relic beads in Lu Yi's hand jingled, flowing through his fingers like water. He said in a cold voice, "I am Tang Sanzang, also known as Monk Xuanzang. Linghu Ku is my benefactor. He died at Tiemen Pass this time. The Linghu clan is in chaos due to power struggles. The elders are too old and confused to suppress the situation..."
Spreading his hands, Lu Yi said in a deep voice: "There were some irregularities in our previous transactions, which were discovered by the Linghu clan members from other factions... Many of our clan members have been thrown into the secret prison... I was ordered to contact you just to discuss and see if there is any countermeasure."
"The Linghu clan is in chaos?"
The girl's sleeves were swirling in the breeze, and they rolled up by themselves, revealing a large gold bracelet inlaid with several colored gemstones. In the middle, a blood-red gem the size of a pigeon egg was shining faintly, and a hoarse, weak voice that gave people the feeling of excessive smoking and drinking came from the flickering gemstone: "What's going on? Monk Xuanzang, right? Come with Little Jasper, quickly!"
"Well, you don't need to bring your people with you. Let them live happily in Nuanyu Tower. The responsibility will be on me!"
Lu Yi nodded slowly.
The little girl who was slapped covered her face, glanced at Lu Yi, turned around and walked to a corner of the room, and knocked on the wall lightly or heavily for 108 times in a row. Every time she knocked, a wisp of changing magic power was injected into the wall. After 108 times, the ground in the corner of the room suddenly flashed with a faint light, and a small teleportation array with a diameter of about ten feet emerged directly from the ground.
"Come here, monk!" The little girl snorted at Lu Yi, "I remember the slap you gave me just now!"
Lu Yi walked to the teleportation formation in two steps and stood still. He said in a cold voice: "There is no point in being anxious. I am here to do serious things. Your actions just now, to put it politely, are frivolous... To put it bluntly, you just don't know the priorities. You are simply arrogant because of your favor. You are really messing around!"
"If I didn't always have a compassionate heart inspired by the Buddha's teachings, it would be natural for me to kill you with one palm strike if you blew your breath on my face!"
"You!" The little girl was so angry that she almost jumped up.
"What about me? What I said is serious... Who knows if there is any evil spell, witchcraft, poison, or evil law in your breath?" Lu Yi reprimanded the little girl righteously: "Don't be like this next time... It was only this time that I had no choice but to let a humble person like me come to meet you... If it were someone else, you might have been covered in blood."
Not only was the little girl slapped in the face, she was also scolded by Lu Yi.
She was so angry that she rolled her eyes, but she couldn't do anything about Lu Yi. She could only stamp her feet angrily. The small teleportation array flashed with a faint light, and the surroundings suddenly started spinning.
Lu Fei's cultivation level is improving day by day, and his mastery of the avenue of space is also constantly improving.
In the past, when he took various teleportation arrays, he would feel his body lighten, the world around him would spin, and he would arrive at his destination.
But now, in this small teleportation array, he could clearly feel the fluctuations of the spatial Dao rhythm, and felt how strands of spatial inspiration gathered together to form a wonderful Dao restriction, which turned into a small spatial "treasure bag" that wrapped the two of them, and then broke through the void and teleported directly to the other end of the teleportation array.
During this process, Lu Yi could clearly feel the space-time images of the outside world when the space shifted.
Even the power of the teleportation array, the direction of transmission, the distance transmitted, and the time consumed were all clearly recorded... This small teleportation array had already brought Lu Yi out of the Skeleton Collection and sent him 12 million miles into the depths of the Great Black Mountain!
It was very cold all around.
This is a giant black stone that has been artificially modified.
It was shaped like a mountain, with a sharp peak at the bottom and a height of three thousand miles, and a base area of ​​about twenty thousand miles. Below the mountainside, there were only black rocks and no grass. On the mountainside, some places had opened up some "terraces", accumulated some soil, and planted some vegetation. In some places protected by formations, there were large tracts of farmland opened up, planted with some exotic flowers and plants, as well as common grains.
On the top of the mountain, there is a fortress with a radius of dozens of miles.
Surrounded by high walls, trenches, arrow towers, and various formations and prohibitions, in the void near and far, there are large and small black warships patrolling silently like a school of hunting sharks.
Lu Yi and the little girl emerged directly from a training ground inside the fortress.
There were large groups of elite soldiers wearing heavy armor standing around, all of whom were above the Heavenly School level. In the Five Armies of Heaven, this was an absolutely elite level. However, their auras were extremely impetuous, like a volcano that could erupt at any time, and wisps of blood and dry air were constantly leaking out of their pores.
Lu Yu suddenly realized that the cultivation levels of these people might have been enhanced by external forces?
Having cultivation skills but no cooperating mindset or understanding...
However, among this large group of soldiers, the leading generals had deep and profound auras, and all their auras were restrained, without leaking out at all. Under the thick armor, Lu Yi was unable to see through their cultivation without using his magical powers.
These guys are quite interesting.
Lu Yi glanced at them. The eyes of these generals were grim, like cold blades. They stared straight at Lu Yi, as if they were ready to kill him if anything went wrong. It was quite scary.
"Monk, come with me!" When the little girl Cuique arrived here, she subconsciously restrained her lively spirit in Nuanyulou and became very cautious. She called out softly and left the training ground with Lu Yi.
In this fortress, there is a sentry every three steps and a guard every five steps. In addition to the fixed sentries, large groups of strong men in heavy armor patrol in the passages. At the intersection of each passage, there are pearls hanging high and mirrors inlaid. The light of the pearls and mirrors shines in all directions. With the help of various warning arrays, this place is guarded tightly. If a fly accidentally flies in, it will be cut into 108,000 pieces immediately and carefully analyzed piece by piece.
After walking along the winding corridor for a while, the view ahead suddenly opened up. Amid the rising smoke, a magnificent garden of several hundred acres, quite reminiscent of the "Jiangnan Water Village" in Lu Yi's memory, came into view.
In the garden, there were no burly men in heavy armor, but beautiful girls with slender figures, wearing flowery battle robes and golden dragon scale armor. They were either on duty at key points or patrolling the garden in groups of three or five...
When Lu Yi took a look at these girls wearing armor and fully armed, he felt a chill in his teeth.
At first glance, the armor and battle robes on these girls looked quite decent. The aura exuded by those battle robes and armors was quite sophisticated, at least they were all excellent weapons of the Heavenly General level.
However, these armors and battle robes could only barely protect a few vital parts of the upper body. Two long white legs, two tender white arms, and a large white belly and fragrant back were exposed.
The defensive power of this armor... is really frightening!
Lu Yi murmured, "The resources of the Linghu clan have turned into these... sophisticated weapons?"
The little girl Cuique coughed dryly and said softly, "They are the young master's guards... ahem, the armor and battle robes they wear are just... just... casual clothes... The real armor for fighting the enemy, uh..."
Lu Yi looked at Cuiqiao and said softly, "Keep on making it up. I'm listening."
Delphinium rolled her eyes and kept silent.
After walking for a while along the path between the rockery and the stream, bypassing the beautiful mountains and waters , a field of flowers covering several acres in size suddenly caught the eye.
On the green grass with flowers in full bloom , two armies formed by pretty girls were wearing armors and battle robes that exposed most of their skin. They held small wooden sticks as thick as thumbs, which were painted with metallic paint and made into the shapes of spears and halberds. They changed their army formations and attacked and killed back and forth on the grass to the sound of the high-pitched and passionate pipa!
I don't know which genius set up such a deadly restriction nearby...
These girls changed their military formations and attacked back and forth. If the sticks in their hands touched the opponent's body, the shoulder armor would fall off; if they touched the breastplate, the breastplate would fall off; if they touched the battle skirt, the battle skirt would fall off...
The two groups of delicate girls fought back and forth for a while, and then they lost their armor one by one, and Lu Yi didn't know where to fall.
The sound just heard from the blood-red gem on the Delphinium bracelet came directly from a pavilion at the edge of the lawn.
"Master Xuanzang, right? Take a look at my guards. Are they well trained?"
