Chen Lin observed the snowdrift and looked at the position of the big tree.
Judging from the focus of the man in the snowdrift, he was directed at this big tree. Since the man was so cautious, he must not be a monster like the woodcutter, but a monk.
Although he felt that his guess was accurate, he did not lean over and continued to wait and see.
This wait took almost three days.
Chen Lin was a little confused in his heart whether he had seen it wrong. There was no one in the snowdrift at all. It had been snowing for the past few days, the snowdrift was much higher, and the head never popped up again.
But just when he was wondering whether to test it out, a strong figure appeared in the wind and snow in the distance.
The dress is similar to that of the previous woodcutter, but he is taller and more imposing.
Even the hatchet in his hand is much brighter.
The other party quickly walked to the big tree, chopped it down three times, and then began to chop it into small pieces. After tying it up, he picked it up with a wooden stick and disappeared into the wind and snow.
Chen Lin secretly remembered the direction in which the other party left, and then looked at the location of the first snowdrift.
Chen Lin immediately followed.
After saying that, I stared at the other person's face closely.
Chen Lin suddenly felt happy. Sure enough, that place was not the gathering place. This person should be a guard.
If the value of the tree stump is very low, the other party will dig deeper and get as little of it as possible.
Imagine that if I violate the terms under the slate, a line will light up immediately to see if there will still be hidden dangers.
The two of them came to the side of the lowland, one behind the other.
Without talent or ability as a guarantee, Chen Lin had no scruples and dropped a drop of blood under the stone slab.
Chen Lin breathed a sigh of relief. It seemed that the contract was really special. The lines were actually revealed even after being made so easily. This meant that there was no mystery and there were too few changes.
Mainly because I'm worried that it's not the Emerald Cave outside, which would be a mistake.
Feeling more and more satisfied, Chen Lin walked around for a while and then walked towards the inn that Qu Qingzhou mentioned.
Chen Lin was walking alone, but just as he was walking too far, a person suddenly appeared out of the snow beside him. She was an older woman in white, looking at me with a wary expression.
Chen Lin also stopped far away, hiding in the snow.
After passing the eight stone gates in this way, Chen Lin felt a sound of tranquility, and at the same time the spiritual energy became much stronger. Behind him, there were steps instead of steps, but a street with ancient-style buildings on both sides. It seemed that there were not many of them.
rare.
This is to prevent the fat tiger's shape from being mistaken for a monster before meeting the monks, which may cause necessary trouble.
I saw the young man in white stepping on a snowdrift, and then there was a heavy mechanical sound, and the ground parted to both sides, revealing an upward step.
Lu Ying felt certain after hearing this and said: "It is true that we have not gone far, and we have also lost the package. If we can't fly back, we can only come to your place to seek help."
Even if the snow was deep and the retreat was difficult, I estimated that I had traveled several hundred miles. Did I find anything along the way?
Chen Lin was not firm. I had never seen the kind of contract the other party presented. I knew what type it was. I dared to sign it randomly, but I also knew how to sign it.
There is still a place to go before passing the stone gate, and there is another step going up.
That is an abnormal situation. The gathering point must have such a function, and the monks here and there will have a way to practice.
It was far away anyway, so Chen Lin called Fat Tiger back and sent him back to the nightmare world.
It turned out that the footprints of the two monks disappeared like that.
Lu Ying looked back at the sealed cave entrance. The cave door was also purely mechanical. It seemed that items such as magic weapons could be used outside.
It's not a bad time to go away for a few days.
But just to be on the safe side, I still manifested the fate line and tried to predict good or bad luck through regression.
As for telling the truth, I'm afraid that the other party will believe me and make me withdraw into the gathering place.
There has been no change in the flight path through the other party. We will continue to check backwards if it is correct.
Chen Lin immediately took out an elixir used by foundation-building monks and said, "Thank you very much, fellow Taoist. I express my sincere respect."
Using close range sensing, I could sense that the other party was a foundation-building monk. Even though I knew the resources there, if I dared to give less, I gave one.
Let the injury heal completely, then refine the True Soul Flower, and then decide where to go.
"Which cave is he from?"
"Emerald Cave, it's not that far. He's quite timid enough to come to explore such a far place."
It will be nearly half a month after I leave.
After walking for a long time again, we came to a stone gate again.
"Why, fellow Taoist, don't you have any scruples? The blood contract in your Eight Kings Cave is not a regular blood contract, and there are similarities. It's just to prevent anyone from making trouble in the cave and leaking information in the cave at will."
After digging for a long time, the other party seemed to have really moved. He took out what looked like an ax and started chopping at the roots.
After walking for nearly a day, just when I was about to change direction after passing it, I found a low land behind me.
There was also a slightly lanky young monk sitting at the foot of the steps. At this moment, he stood up and communicated with the young man in white before leading Chen Lin outside.
Chen Lin wasn't too sure. This woman changed her flight path midway. We haven't found the wrong direction yet.
I didn't get too close during the whole process. Since I was sensing it with my spiritual sense, it was still covered with snow, so it was difficult to be discovered at such a distance.
In the case of using mana, even if the two tried their best, they would be quickly thrown away in the end.
But because the soil was frozen and spells could be cast, it was very difficult for the other party to dig.
From this point of view, there are still a lot of monks at that gathering point, but otherwise they might not have the energy to arrange such a small number of people.
That lowland is much lower than other places. If you want to dig a cave through it, it is definitely a bad place.
After a while, the snowdrift trembled, and a man's figure emerged from it. Without any unnecessary movement, he went straight to the tree stump.
Down the street, there was no one walking around, and there were no shops.
Soon I was sure of one thing.
After thinking for a while, I took a quick stroll down the street, observing the people going in and out of the store, and from time to time I would retreat into the store to take a look.
The steps are very long.
"It's broken. You can only take it outside. Then the fellow Taoist broke down on his own. There is no inn specially designed to receive monks from here. Fellow Taoist, you can see it by walking along the street. You can see it in the other place."
I would like to remind fellow Taoists that when we go there, we must make sure to make trouble outside, otherwise the consequences will be very minor."
After a while, the stone door was opened.
After a pause, the young man in white said again: "If you are sure that Taoist friend wants to sign the contract, please leave now to avoid any misunderstanding."
Chen Lin hesitated for a moment and did not follow, but continued to observe.
"Elixir!"
Since the conditions there are pretty good and I can use magic, I plan to live there for a while.
Fortunately, the flying speed of the balloon was not very slow, so I immediately took Fat Tiger out of the snow and followed slowly.
Then the sound of the front machine sounded again and the cave door closed.
Lu Ying was surprised when she saw this.
After thinking about it, I clasped my fists and said, "Shang Chen Lin, from Jade Cave, what do you call me my friend?"
Chen Lin was surprised to find that there were no guards outside the stone gate.
The young monk took Chen Lin to the entrance of the street and gave him some instructions.
The young monk's eyes lit up and he immediately took it in his hand.
The other party must have been tired and walked very quickly. It took him nearly two or eight hours to get away from seventy miles away.
That gathering place on the ground does not restrict the use of mana, and there should be no facilities specifically designed to isolate the leakage of mana fluctuations.
This time, no other monks competed with each other. When the man arrived at the tree stump, he immediately began to clear the surrounding snow, then took out an object and started digging under the tree stump.
Hearing what Chen Lin said, the face of the young man in white became even more anxious. He clasped his fists and said, "No problem, you and other monks should help each other. Your name is He Wangshui. You are following the rules by welcoming fellow Taoists to your Eight Kings Cave."
It can be broken, if fellow Taoist wants to retreat, the contract still needs to be signed."
"Thank you for your reward. If I have any need, I can go to the Lishi Hall to find you. Your name is Qu Qingzhou."
After thinking about it, Fat Tiger and I separated some distance sideways, and moved backward at the same time as far as we could see from him, to prevent missing any worthless clues.
Lu Ying took the stone slab, and there were ancient writings engraved on it. The terms were indeed the same as what the other party said.
Then it stopped again.
Looking at the other party's appearance, Chen Lin knew that there was a shortage of resources there, and a foundation-building elixir was not even worth a penny.
After saying that, he left happily.
There was something like a net bag hanging on the balloon. The woman and the tree stump sat under the net bag. Their feet stepped on the ground and got lower and lower. They slowly flew up and drifted away with the balloon.
The question is, that balloon is not a magic weapon. You should be afraid of using magic to attract monsters, so it is a specially made flying object.
There were no guards on both sides of the stone gate. After the young monk explained it, the two guards glanced at Chen Lin and one of them pressed up the bulge next to the stone gate.
What makes me more gratified is that there are not many restrictions on monks from outside. In addition to signing a blood contract, there are no fees, and there is no one to monitor. It seems that there should be a distance between each gathering point.
No relationship.
Before the woman stopped, she put the wooden pile aside first, and then unloaded the package on her back. She knew that she had been tinkering with it for a while before opening it, and a huge balloon-like object floated up.
After more than half a day, the other party finally chopped off the tree stump by the roots, took back the storage bag, and left at a slow speed.
Before reaching the end, there was another corridor, and before walking very far again, we came to a stone door.
Chen Lin was dumbfounded.
The young man in white nodded when he saw this, put away the slate, then gave Chen Lin a token and said: "Fellow Taoist, come with you!"
Although it is blurry, there are no gaps.
My current natural ability only makes me so nervous when predicting certain things.
The young woman in white took out a white slate and looked at Chen Lin.
The young man in white looked up and down at Chen Lin, his expression a little anxious.
