A Guide to Modern Cultivation

The greedy orange cat couldn't eat the delicious-looking but a little dehydrated big catfish in the end, because Yunling and the others weren't sure if the fish demon had any other measures to prevent being eaten?Or maybe there are some toxins in its body that only the big monsters after becoming a spirit can have?Just to piss off whoever eats their flesh after they die?

Of course, this kind of assumption seemed far-fetched and even more nonsensical, but after the two masters said so, even if Fat Orange didn't like this fish, he would have no part in it at all.Fortunately, they returned to the city early the next morning. The two of them went to the most famous restaurant in the city. They ordered a table of all kinds of seafood, and even ordered a steamed fish that was completely steamed without any seasoning. It's just to satisfy their craving for fat oranges.

After disposing of the fish demon, the two of them returned to the boat and swam downstream along the waterway. There may be anything else on the way, but the only thing they want to eat is fish, which can be caught from the river every day. The freshest ones come.

Sometimes Yunling thinks about it and thinks that insisting that the two of them don't eat monster meat, and that they don't allow their two spiritual pets to eat monster meat is a bit hypocritical. After all, they are all fish, and those fish in the river eat insects. In terms of food source, the human flesh eaten by the Yaozu may be cleaner. However, since I can't get over that hurdle in my heart, I still have to be hypocritical about the hypocritical issue.

The two of them took a leisurely boat all the way to the south, and every time they passed a village on the road, they would stop for a day or two to go ashore and have fun. The supply is sufficient and the boatmen are not too busy, so they treat it as a sightseeing trip. As long as they send the two of them to the farthest town they usually go by water, they can take the rest of the boat with a high price. Go home happily, this is really a good deal.It's a pity that employers like the two of Yunling are too rare to see on weekdays. If they want to make money, it is more practical to pull goods on the road.

On the journey to the south, the two also listened to new stories and gossip in various towns along the way. Among them, the most talked about was the rumor about the monster in the river. At the beginning, the rumor about the monster was quite scary. What's worrying is that because merchant ships and cruise ships appeared one after another on the river, most people in the villages and towns on the bank knew that the monsters had been wiped out by some big factions.But in the towns that are closer to the Water Mansion, because of the terror of the water monsters digging boats in the past year and the incident of the water monsters attacking the city in winter, everyone is still uneasy.On the back foot, Shuifu returned to the carbine again.

Fortunately, the campaign against the monsters this time seems to be really powerful, and the water demon cave seems to have been completely overthrown by the monks. Although there are still fish that slipped through the net, but with the power of the monks, those monsters God knows where they went?At least in a short period of time, they dare not come back and continue to make trouble.

So what the two of them heard later in the taverns in those villages and towns was all about the prestige and prestige of the few sects leading the crowd to attack the Water Mansion that day?How did the people killed in the water be so dark?Even the lower reaches of the river have seen the scene of blood rolling down the river for several days in a row.These rumors were so vivid that the two of Yunling almost believed them.

After moving away from this section of the river where water monsters are often troubled, the number of rumors and rumors related to it gradually decreased, and was replaced by another legend in the monk world-it is said that a monster appeared on this waterway. A wicked way!

The thief first committed a shocking crime by the Bolan Lake, and stole the treasure of Zhuocheng City Lord's Mansion overnight, so angry that Zhuocheng City Lord was furious and issued a high reward order!As a result, after several months, there was no follow-up at all. Just when everyone thought that this was a forbearance monk who made a deal and turned around, took the treasure and ran to somewhere to have fun, or went to practice secret arts. There will be no follow-up news for a short time.

As a result, the thief actually went down the river to Lin'an City, looted the internal warehouse of Lin'an City, the private warehouse of the city lord's mansion, and the heads of various factions who were still there at that time, and swept away countless universes. bring!At this time, the thief no longer knew where to go to enjoy himself!

The rumors spread equally well, and even who were the leaders of those major sects that were looted?What was your expression when you found out that all your property had been stolen?They all described it vividly, as if the person who said these rumors was in that city at the time, and they witnessed all of this with their own eyes.

And then there are other rumors related to it. It is said that the person who committed this series of shocking crimes was an enchanting beauty. Standing there in a daze and letting others do what they want, let alone just stealing a universe bag from them, even if they wiped all of them on their necks, no one would resist.

It is also said that the person who committed this shocking crime was a man with a very ugly appearance. Because he was too ugly to get a wife, he practiced the magic of stealing hard, committed repeated serious crimes, and then took a large sum of money The gold and silver were squandered in various cities, causing the girls in brothels in the city to bow down under the gold and silver trousers like wild butterflies.

There are also people who say that the person who committed this big crime was a powerful and powerful monk who took the money not for himself, but for the purpose of distributing it to the poor and benefiting countless people along the way...

After Yunling and Wei Jingcheng heard these words, when they returned to the hotel at night, they all looked skeptical about life, and deeply sighed—the wind of gossip really crosses the world, no matter which world people are The more bizarre the news sounds, the more confident they are, and they are willing to add fuel and vinegar to it and spread it everywhere.

For Yunling and Wei Jingcheng, two people who are relatively clear about the whole story of these two incidents, they can still make it clear which of what is said here is true and which is false?But to outsiders... Anyway, it's just a rumor, everyone just spread it, and no one needs to be responsible for these messy things?

Hearing all the gossip related to themselves made Yunling and the two feel dizzy, so they accelerated their walking speed on the river and reduced their mood of wandering on the shore.Anyway, the cities along the river that I have passed recently are not particularly large. The styles and even the accents of the adjacent cities are relatively similar. They only need to look at one of them every few cities. If you go around a relatively large city, you can get a general idea of ​​the customs and features of this area.

This walk lasted about three or four months. The two of them went down the river from early spring to midsummer. The trees on both sides of the river seemed denser than in early summer, and the color changed from light green to dark green. , giving people a visually cool feeling in the hot summer.

On this day, the two of them stood at the bow of the boat, with a corner of the canopy specially stretched out above their heads, casting a shadow over their heads.For monks, although they are not afraid of the scorching sun and the severe cold, monks with relatively low cultivation levels will still get tanned if exposed to too much sun.

The two of Yunling were also not sure that the so-called "low-level monks" they had read from various books referred to the monks who had just started to refine the Qi Realm?Or is it a collective name for monks below the Golden Core stage?So it’s better to have less sun exposure or less sun exposure.

At this moment, the two stood at the bow of the boat, looking far away at the place where the city wall could be faintly seen on the shore.

"Isn't Longli City over there?" Yunling raised his finger and pointed to the distance.

Wei Jingcheng nodded: "This is said to be one of the largest cities in the downstream section of the waterway next to the river."

Yunling stroked his chin: "I always think the name of this city is quite delicious."

Longli City, Longli Fish... Well, it seems like it's been a long time since I've eaten it?Moreover, although they have been constantly fishing, shrimping and crabs during this time, they are all river fresh. I am afraid that they will not have a chance to eat seafood until they come to the mouth of the sea in the future, right?

Wei Jingcheng glanced at Yunling and calculated in his mind that they would have to go to the coast this time no matter what, so why not buy some seafood and go back?Although the various freezers they carry with them are basically full, it would be nice to have some space for fish before going to the beach.

Although the Longli City not far ahead is homonymous to some kind of fish, the dragon they refer to is a real dragon.It is said that thousands of years ago, there was a real dragon endangering one side here, and a real fairy came down to subdue the evil dragon, and subdued the evil dragon here and brought it back to the Heavenly Palace to be a chariot-drawing beast.

The evil dragon broke out in this river section that day and flattened countless mountains. Even if it was brought back to the sky, there were still residual malicious ravages on the ground. Acting ruthlessly and pervertedly until hundreds of years later, a certain powerful man passed by here and couldn't bear to lose his life. He established a mountain gate here to suppress the evil dragon's breath.

Yes, the above paragraphs are all claimed by Yucang Party, the power behind Longli City, so it is true or not... well, everyone just listen to it as a legend, and don't take it seriously.

However, this Longli City is indeed one of the most prosperous and rich cities in the lower reaches of the river, which can be seen from the tall city walls that the two of them can see from a distance.

When the boats got closer, the two of them could clearly see the boats coming and going on the waterway below the city, and these boats were not like other cities along the river, they only had docks near the river, and it was very strange here. A small artificial lake was artificially dug on the west side of the city!All the ships docked inside!

And Longli City is even more proud to extend this artificial lake out of a river, enclosing the other two directions of the city, forming a natural barrier surrounded by water from the river itself.
