This mountain is at an extremely high altitude, with dense vegetation and thick shade. There is a wide mountain road winding up from the foot of the mountain, all the way to Yuanshui Tianhu Lake.
The golden sunlight penetrated the dense forest and cast little spots of light on the winding mountain road.
The mountain path is paved with blue-black stones. These stones have been stepped on all year round and have already been dented. Emerald green moss squeezes out of the gaps on the edges, glowing like jade in the sun.
"Deng~" "Deng~" "Deng~"
A rhythmic sound of hoofbeats suddenly sounded.
Two strong green spiritual bulls appeared on the mountain road.
These two spiritual cows are both of different species, with their hooves as black as ink and eyes as green as water. They are exceptionally steady when walking, and their speed is much faster than ordinary spiritual cows.
On the backs of two spiritual bulls, a man and a woman sat respectively.
These two people were naturally Wang Liyao and Lu Xianghui, whom she hired to lead the way.
"Junior sister, our Yuanshui Tianhu lineage is the oldest lineage in the Academy and is also the most powerful. However, our lineage has always been low-key, and our reputation outside is not as great as that of Xuanbing Palace."
"The people from Yuanshui in our lineage are the direct disciples of the dean. The dean has been in seclusion for many years and has long since stopped doing things. Nowadays, many matters in the academy are mostly taken care of by people from Yuanshui. If junior sister can really worship Yuanshui Tianhu
One lineage has many benefits."
Lu Xianghui walked forward while pulling the reins of Lingniu while introducing the situation of Yuanshui Tianhu lineage to Wang Liyao.
While talking, the two of them passed by an old tree with a particularly dense and huge crown.
Lu Xianghui pointed to the tree and introduced: "This hibiscus tree was planted by the dean himself one thousand three hundred years ago. There were hundreds of trees planted in the same batch at that time. After so many years, only
This tree is still alive."
"This white stone is nicknamed the 'love stone' by the brothers. Legend has it that Senior Brother Wan Liang and Senior Sister Qiao Wei were there to confirm their love."
"On summer evenings, there will be a lot of fireflies here, and many seniors and junior sisters like to come here to practice swordsmanship."
"There is also the forest in front. It is said that it was originally a rhododendron forest, but more than ten years ago, two senior brothers had a discussion here, destroyed the forest, and replanted it with plum trees. That's why this forest is shorter than the surrounding woods.
many……"
Yuanshui Tianhu has a long history, and every plant and tree on the mountain has its own story. Along the way, Wang Liyao heard many interesting anecdotes from Lu Xianghui, which felt like an eye-opener.
While talking, the two of them had already walked out of the plum forest, and other figures appeared one after another on the mountain road ahead.
The breeze blows, the shadows of the trees dance, sending a few wisps of moist water vapor.
"The concentration of the surrounding Yuan Shui spiritual energy has increased." Wang Liyao raised her eyebrows sensitively, "Is it almost there?"
"Junior sister is really keen." Lu Xianghui smiled, "After the forest in front, we will reach Yuanshui Tianhu Lake. According to our current speed, we will arrive in another quarter of an hour at most."
As he spoke, he couldn't help but sigh in his heart, the speed of the Spirit Cavalry was so fast.
He usually uses body movements to travel, and he has to rest for half an hour after walking for a quarter of an hour. It takes at least a day to walk from Qianqiu Hall to here. How can he get there so quickly?
He has taken advantage of this little junior sister today~
A quarter of an hour passed quickly.
After riding a spiritual ox and passing by a towering black rock, Wang Liyao felt her eyes suddenly light up. The surrounding woods suddenly became much sparser, and the sun became brighter.
After walking a little further, her eyes suddenly opened up, and large tracts of blue suddenly broke into her eyes.
It was a huge blue lake.
Under the sunshine, the smooth lake surface is as bright and clear as sapphire. The breeze blows, and sparkling waves appear on the lake surface, cutting off the blue sky and white clouds reflected in it, but bringing up more tiny floating lights.
There are also faint streams of light floating in the sky, just like silky ribbons, constantly changing colors and shapes in the sky, interweaving all kinds of strange phantoms.
Everything in front of me is like a huge picture, beautiful but unreal.
The impact of this picture was so great that Wang Liyao couldn't help but slightly widen her eyes, and was so shocked by this gorgeous scenery that she was speechless for a moment.
"How is it? Beautiful, isn't it?"
Lu Xianghui shook the reins and took Lingniu forward a few steps with a proud smile on his face. He was also shocked when he saw Tianhu for the first time, so he naturally understood Wang Liyao's mood at the moment.
.
“Yuanshui Tianhu Lake truly deserves its reputation.”
Hearing this, Wang Liyao came back to her senses and couldn't help but take a deep breath, her expression full of emotion.
Although her Zhuwei Lake is also beautiful, it is completely different from the beauty in front of you.
The beauty of Zhuwei Lake is full of poetry and painting, but the Tianhu Lake in front of you is more like a gem falling from the sky to the earth. It has a pure and ethereal beauty without any smoke and smoke, so it looks particularly holy and makes people dare not
Blasphemy.
Moreover, she was shocked not only by the beautiful scenery, but also by the concentration of aura around her.
This spiritual energy concentration is definitely several levels higher than at home.
Just standing here and breathing lightly, she felt that every breath of air she breathed in contained rich Yuan Shui spiritual energy. Her body seemed to be soaked by Yuan Shui spiritual energy, and she felt extremely comfortable and comfortable.
There is definitely a powerful spiritual vein beneath Yuanshui Tianhu Lake.
"What is that floating light in the sky that day?"
At this time, Wang Liyao had also recovered from the shock. She pointed at the floating light in the sky and asked.
"Oh, that's the Water Curtain Tianhua." Lu Xianghui explained, "This is the guardian formation of our Yuanshui Tianhu lineage. It's daytime now, so we can't see clearly. But at night, the light is floating in the sky, like...
One day the sky will flow like a river, and it will be ten times more beautiful than now."
"I see."
Wang Liyao suddenly realized.
While they were talking, the two of them had already arrived at the lake on their spiritual bulls.
Not far from the lake, there is a ferry. A small ferry boat is parked at the pier. Several young people wearing the uniforms of Yuanshui Tianhu lineage disciples are queuing up to register and board the boat.
"Although the entire Yuanshui Tianshan Mountains belong to the territory of the Yuanshui Tianhu Lake, the place where we usually practice and study is actually located on an island in the center of the lake. The Yuanshui Pavilion of our Yuanshui people is also on the island in the center of the lake.
"
Lu Xianghui tied the two spiritual bulls in the animal pen by the lake, and walked to the lake with Wang Liyao, explaining as he walked.
"We will take the ferry over later. When we get to the island, I will introduce you to the situation on the island. Believe me, you will not regret joining our Yuanshui Tianhu lineage."
While talking, the two of them had already reached the ferry.
Lu Xianghui registered her identity in a familiar manner, and asked Wang Liyao to show her pass order to the disciple in charge, then took her onto the ferry and sat down near the side of the ship.
This ferry was not much different from the ferry in Anjiang. After Wang Liyao sat down, she turned her attention back to the lake outside.
Soon, the ferry boat set sail.
Halfway through the journey, Wang Liyao's eyes suddenly fell on the lake: "Huh? What is that?"
It turned out that there were many large and small black spots floating on the lake. Judging from the outline, they were very similar to their domestic Yuanshui turtles, which made her feel friendly and familiar.
Moreover, she also discovered that there were people standing on the backs of two turtles, which looked like mounts.
"Oh, you mean the Yuan Shui Spirit Turtle~" Lu Xianghui looked over and suddenly understood, "There are a large group of Yuan Shui Spirit Turtles living in our Yuanshui Tianhu Lake. Many senior brothers' mounts are also Yuan Shui Spirit Turtles. You go back
The more you see it, the more you get used to it.”
Wang Liyao was a little surprised: "But this is too much, right? There must be at least hundreds of them here."
It is not unusual for the Zifu Academy to raise spiritual beasts, but the scale of the Yuan Shui Spirit Turtle is indeed a bit astonishing.
"Junior sister, you don't know~" Lu Xianghui smiled proudly upon hearing this, "There is a seventh-order spirit turtle living in our Yuanshui Tianhu Lake, and these are its clansmen and descendants. It is precisely because of the old turtle.
With the blessing of these spirit turtles, they are regarded as the dominant ones in Yuanshui Tianhu, and even the disciples of the Academy do not dare to provoke them easily."
"However, there are also many of these spirit turtles who are relatively close to each other. Occasionally, there will be disciples who are lucky or have good strength, and are favored by the spirit turtles and can take them as mounts." He said and pointed to the people on the lake.
Two turtles with people standing on their backs, "Those two are the core disciples of our Yuanshui Tianhu lineage. I don't know how many disciples in the academy envy them~"
"I see."
Wang Liyao suddenly realized it and felt a little emotional in her heart.
The Wang family raised a Yuanshui spirit turtle, which aroused the envy of many aristocratic families. They did not expect that there would be such a large group in Yuanshui Tianhu.
There were several young disciples sitting next to the two. When they heard the conversation between the two, they couldn't help laughing.
"Is this your first time, junior sister?" One of the young people said with a smile, "The old turtle in this lake is the dean's spiritual pet, and is considered an ancestor among us. There are also several talented turtles among its descendants.
Not bad, I heard that there is hope to become a sixth-order or even seventh-order spiritual beast in the future~"
Hearing this, another young disciple couldn't help but said: "Junior sister, if you are interested, you can try your luck. Maybe there will be a turtle that likes you~"
Several people were talking.
Suddenly.
A loud shout came from the lake ahead.
"Quick, quick! Block it! Don't let it escape!"
"On the right! Stop on the right!"
"Watch out for water arrows!"
Wang Liyao followed the sound and saw a boat about the same size as them parked on the lake to the left. On the deck, several young people wearing the uniforms of Yuanshui Tianhu disciples were surrounding the city, rolling up their sleeves.
Holding a tool, he tried to catch a giant beaded clam that was running away like crazy.
She was surprised and couldn't help but asked curiously: "What are you doing?"
"Oh. That's also our specialty of Yuanshui Tianhu, the Yuanshui Pearl Mussel." Lu Xianghui explained, "Those senior brothers were fishing for pearls. The pearls produced by the Yuanshui Pearl Mussel are fourth-grade spiritual materials and can not only be used as medicine.
, jewelry made from it can also nourish the skin and improve skin quality, and is quite popular among female nuns.”
"Qianqiu Hall can receive the pearl-fishing academy task, and the credits awarded after completion are quite generous." The young man next to him looked envious, "However, that is a task that only Lingtai realm disciples can accept. We are not cultivated enough.
I can’t even pick it up even if I want to.”
"oh."
Wang Liyao suddenly realized.
While they were talking, several senior brothers on the boat over there worked together and finally controlled the Yuanshui Pearl Clam, which was more than half a man tall, and fixed it on a shelf on the deck.
Then, one of the senior brothers took out a green spiritual grass and used some method to trick it into opening the clam shell. Then he climbed into the clam shell and took out a few fist-sized colorful pearls.
Faintly, you can still hear a few scattered conversations floating on the boat over there.
"Don't forget to plant new mother-of-pearl..."
"There is only one pearl clam left to complete the task..."
"Move quickly, maybe..."
Wang Liyao watched it with great interest and found it very novel.
This academy is really different from home~
Along the way, what I saw and heard in the academy was many different from the outside world. It was like another world with its own set of rules.
No wonder her father insisted on letting her come to the academy. He also said, "If you don't go out and experience it, you won't know how big the world is." It really makes sense.
In addition to cultivation, there must be many other things that the academy can teach her.
…
At the same time, inside the main hall of Yuanshui Island.
In the Zifu Academy, all the monks who had not gone out gathered together.
"Brother Changchun, how is the injury of the scoundrel Yu Hang?" Yuanshui, who was dressed in a water-colored robe and looked like a gentle gentleman, said to Master Changchun who walked out of the secret room.
The Yuanshui lineage is also good at healing, but this time his beloved disciple Yu Hang's injuries were too serious, the Qi Hai Xuan Core was almost broken, and the Xuan Yin evil poison was almost spread throughout the five internal organs and the lungs. It was because of Yu Hang's advanced cultivation and the rich Yuan Shui Xuan Qi.
Like a lake, and relying on the sixth-grade life-extending golden elixir to hang on to his life. If the protection is not complete, Yu Hang will die before he can make it home.
Therefore, the people of Yuanshui placed their hopes on Master Changchun.
Master Changchun's face was as moist as a baby's, slightly pale and tired: "Fortunately, he has a very deep knowledge of "Yuan Shui Zhen Jue", and he can barely stabilize his injuries, but the Yuan Shui Xuan Core in the Qi Sea is too seriously damaged.
, it is necessary to take Yuanshui essence for a long time to gradually heal.”
"However, the most troublesome thing is the Xuanyin poison. This poison is several times more dangerous and vicious than the ordinary Yin poison. Now it has penetrated deep into his five internal organs, lungs, and meridians. If this poison is not removed for a day, I am afraid that he will be seriously injured.
It won’t get better in one day. You need to take the fifth-grade fire elixir - Xuanyang Liehuo Dan for a long time to gradually neutralize and remove the evil poison of Xuanyin, and use the fifth-grade Yangyuan Dan to warm and nourish the damaged internal organs and meridians."
"It's just that, it will consume a lot of resources, and it may take ten or eight years to recover."
The tense emotions of the people in Yuanshui relaxed slightly: "Yu Hang was injured on a battlefield outside the territory. Lingyun Holy Land and Daqian Kingdom cannot stay out of the matter. In addition, with the subsidies from our academy, we can
It’s enough resources to spend.”
The other masters all nodded secretly. This is indeed the truth. We can't disciples to fight for the country and all mankind and just ignore them when they are injured, right?
To put it bluntly, the people of Yuanshui will not agree, even if they don't agree, who doesn't personally carry out missions on battlefields outside the territory?
