Chapter 119 Hongmeng III Mirror
Since a lot of people left at once, there were quite a few vacancies in the hotels and villagers' homes.
Finally, Bai Ningyu and her group chose to stay in a hotel for one night.
In fact, it is not a hotel, but a small farmhouse. Each room can only fit a bed and a table, and even the bathroom and toilet are shared.
By the time the group settled down, it was already completely dark.
The boss had built an awning in the yard, and many people were already sitting at the dining table in the yard eating.
Seeing Bai Ningyu and her group coming out, the boss hurriedly invited them to sit down: "The menus are on the table. What would you like to eat?"
"Boss, pick out your signature dishes and serve two tables for us." Li Shang didn't even look at the menu on the table.
After all, they came out just to get some information, not really to eat.
It is better to be cautious when going out. The food and supplies they brought with them are enough for several months, so they will try not to touch food from outside if possible.
After a while, several more tables of people arrived, and the courtyard, which was not very big to begin with, suddenly became full, and at first glance it looked full of the atmosphere of life.
Most of the people present were discussing the treasure hunter who died at the foot of the mountain. Many of them planned to stay and wait for a few days to see if any of the people who entered the mountain could come out unscathed.
Just when everyone thought they would not hear any useful news, a bearded Dark Force warrior in the early stage at the opposite table began to talk with his companions.
"It is said that the Su family saw a red light flashing in the direction of Yumen Mountain last night. It seems that some rare treasure has appeared in the world, so they chose to rush into the mountain."
At another table, a cultivator in the middle stage of the second rank said, "I was here yesterday, but I didn't see any red light. That's just an excuse the Su family used to enter the mountain early and seize the initiative."
"I don't think so. If they didn't see something, why would they take such a big risk and violate the agreement and go into the mountains early?" Another second-grade cultivator said.
The bearded man continued, "It is said that when the King of Qin found the Hongmeng Three Worlds Mirror, one of the Eight Mirrors, it was also filled with red light. It later fell into the hands of the Southern Witch Kingdom, which allowed the Southern Witch Kingdom to prosper for a time. However, after the Southern Witch Kingdom was destroyed, the Hongmeng Three Worlds Mirror disappeared. So it seems that it can be connected."
After hearing what the warrior with the screw-stuffed beard said, many people started talking.
The dishes began to arrive on the table one after another. Li Shang and the Great Elder looked at each other, and no one said anything.
The purpose of their trip was to find magic weapons and the Biluo Fruit. The Biluo Fruit is available only once every ten thousand years. After eating it, cultivators above the ninth rank can avoid thunder tribulations and ascend to heaven on the spot.
If the Hongmeng Three Worlds Mirror is really in Yumen Mountain, then they will definitely look for it.
It is said that this item can see a person's appearance in the past, present and future lives, and also has the ability to predict the future. It is a rare treasure. If you get this item, your family will prosper in an instant.
Soon all the dishes were served, including horse-riding dishes, grilled fish, and mushroom hotpot. Not only were the dishes large in quantity, but the aroma was also no less delicious than those in Kyoto's star-rated hotels.
Several people pretended to pick up chopsticks and put food on the plates, but no one took a bite.
Li Shang began to instruct, "Everyone has prepared a sachet in their supplies to protect against poisonous insects. Take it out and carry it with you tomorrow. The clothes are made of special materials that can resist rain and insect bites. Avoid touching unnecessary things after entering the mountains."
"But... as for the poisonous insect, Miss Bai, do you have any good ideas?" Li Shang said, looking at Bai Ningyu.
Bai Ningyu thought for a moment and then said, "I'll draw a Gu-repelling talisman for you all to keep on hand. But be careful with anything at the entrance to the mountain. After all, a powerful Gu Master can make Gu insects appear anywhere."
"Miss Bai is actually a talisman master?" Great Elder Du Heng exclaimed in amazement.
But in the blink of an eye, he asked with a puzzled look on his face, "But I have lived for so many years, and I have never heard of any talismans that can ward off poisonous insects. I wonder..."
"Grandpa Du, this woman is just bragging!" A hearty female voice came, and a short-haired woman, accompanied by a warrior in the early stage of dark energy, appeared in front of everyone.
"Chu Ran, why are you here?" asked the fourth brother Li Yanchen in surprise.
"Of course I came into the mountains with you!" As he said that, Li Churan sat down next to the Great Elder Du Heng.
Du Heng stroked his beard disapprovingly and advised, "Chu Ran, this Yumen Mountain is not a fun place. You should go home quickly to save your parents from worrying."
"That's right, Sixth Sister, as a girl, you shouldn't come to this kind of place." There was a hint of mockery in Li Jingze's tone.
"No, why can this woman go to Yumen Mountain with you but I can't? I want to go too~" Li Chuyan hugged the elder's arm and started to act coquettishly.
But her eyes were full of resentment when she looked at Bai Ningyu. She had heard from her fifth sister that this woman was shameless and kept pestering her third brother. What should Sister Gu Qing do? She didn't want this woman of unknown origin to be her third sister-in-law. She must keep a close eye on her third brother this time!
Bai Ningyu met Li Churan's gaze, rolled her eyes, turned her head away, and ignored her. She complained in her heart, "Are all the women in the Li family mentally ill? Do they really think that your third brother is so popular that everyone wants him?"
However, this time Du Heng didn't indulge Li Churan like he had before. His tone was firm and resolute, as if he didn't want to be argued with. He said in a cold voice: "Churan, you are still young. This is not a joke. Go back quickly, or I will ask your grandfather to send someone to bring you back!"
At this time, Li Shang's phone rang. He picked up the phone and heard the angry voice of Mr. Li from the other end: "Xiao Shang, is that girl Chu Ran with you?"
"We just met." Li Shang glanced at Li Churan and said.
When Li Churan heard Old Man Li's voice, she was a little frightened, but she still shouted bravely, "Grandpa, I want to go into the mountains. Why can't girls go out and gain experience? I don't care. I must go this time!"
When Old Master Li heard this, veins popped up on his forehead. He said angrily, "Xiao Shang, tell Li Churan that she can go if she wants, but don't think that if something happens, everyone has to rescue her. Whether she lives or dies is all up to luck!"
After saying that, Mr. Li hung up the phone.
Li Chuyan breathed a sigh of relief upon seeing this, and stuck out her tongue, saying, "Grandpa Du, Third Brother, Grandpa has already let me go, so just take me with you. I'll be obedient, and I can protect myself. I've also brought Ah Song with me, so there won't be any problems!"
Great Elder Du Heng and Li Shang looked at each other and sighed helplessly.
Li Shang looked at Li Churan mercilessly and said, "How can you, a water-type psychic at the early stage of the first rank, protect yourself? This is simply nonsense!"
Seeing that his third brother was about to get angry, Li Churan quickly said politely, "Third brother, I brought Ah Song with me, didn't I? Don't worry, I'll just follow you everywhere after we enter the mountains and won't cause any trouble for you."
I will not let this Bai guy have any chance to take advantage of me!
At this point, Li Shang said nothing more. He took out two sachets from his space and handed them to Li Churan. "Here, you and Asong each have one. Wear them and don't lose them. Yumen Mountain is extremely dangerous. You must ask me before doing anything. Otherwise, if something goes wrong, we may not be able to save you!"
Seeing this, Li Chuyan nodded happily and took the sachet.
The group returned to the house and prepared to go into the mountains tomorrow.
Bai Ningyu took out the yellow talisman and cinnabar and began to draw. After a while, the twelve talismans were completed.
It was only seven o'clock in the evening, and since it was still early, Bai Ningyu took an umbrella and prepared to go out for a walk around the village.
As soon as she entered the village, she discovered the evil spirit rising from the Prison Gate Mountain, but the village was not affected by the evil spirit. This made her feel very strange. Could it be that something was blocking the evil spirit?
