Chapter 88
It was already getting late after he got off the bus, but in order to catch up with the time and see if he could see the scene Hong Xuewei mentioned, Ling Yuan did not stop in the county town, but went there directly. After a while, when he arrived at the place where Hong Xuewei and the others were camping, it was completely dark.
But this is not the most important thing. What is important is that at night, Ling Yuan only appears that there is no moon at night and dark clouds all over the sky. This is not easy to deal with. If there is no moon, you will definitely not be able to see that scene. After all, people come out to worship the moon for practice, but they are not going to enjoy the scenery. Without the moon, why do you come out to do it?
But there was no way. Since I had come, I might as well stay here first! Besides, I was not in a hurry, so I opened the tent I prepared with me, so I spent the night here. Fortunately, the weather was good the next day, and I thought, if there was no problem, I would have seen the moon at night.
During the day, he stood in the place Hong Xuewei said, looking at the boundless forest behind the hillside, his thoughts that he wanted to go in and look for it first were extinguished. Because this forest was too big and too dense, the other party was still uncertain about what it was. If he entered rashly, he might have alarmed the other party first.
The location he is at the moment is at the dividing point between the primeval forest and the ordinary forest. The place they took before was actually in the ordinary forest on the hillside. After passing the hillside, they went down to the boundary of the primeval forest. Because the terrain near the hillside is higher, when people stand on the hillside, the treetops of the primeval forest below are almost the same height as themselves. At a glance, they can only see the surface of the entire primeval forest, and the situation below cannot be seen.
After observing there for a day, it was finally at night that a crescent moon appeared in the sky. Although it was not round, it also shone brightly on the entire wilderness. Ling Yuan sat on the hillside, keeping close attention to the treetops opposite.
According to Hong Xuewei, the other party's appearance should be at midnight, which means it was just midnight. But Ling Yuan waited until the end of the month and did not see any Taoist priests or worshiping the moon. When the moon gradually set, Ling Yuan finally confirmed that he could not see it, which made him very confused.
"It's weird, how could it be that there is no one? Could it be that Hong Xuewei was dazzled at that time, so she misread it? Or, the other party actually realized her trace at that time, but she didn't show it, but then left here?" Back in the tent, Ling Yuan began to think about this question.
This is not impossible. After all, Hong Xuewei is just an ordinary person, and many things cannot be understood as well as cultivators. Even if she sees a mirage, she may think it is a god and a ghost! After all, after experiencing Zhao Qing's incident, she may feel a little panic, which is normal.
The second guess is not unreasonable. Generally speaking, such people who practice hidden worlds will basically become weird over time and are unwilling to contact outsiders. Moreover, if the other party is a cultivator with good cultivation, Hong Xuewei will watch from the side, and the chance of being revealed is very high. If she is an evil cultivator, she may attack her directly.
But if the other party is not bad in his mind, or does not want to interrupt his practice, and does not want to contact strangers, he may leave this place without knowing the truth and practice in another place to avoid being disturbed by outsiders after the practice of the day.
However, no matter which possibility it is, for Ling Yuan, it may mean that he has been in vain this time. Although he has not suffered any losses, he will not be happy after all such a thing.
"By the way, I almost forgot. I remember Hong Xuewei said that the moon was very round that night. Could it be that this scene must appear on the full moon night?" Just as Ling Yuan was a little disappointed, he suddenly remembered the scene mentioned by Hong Xuewei and herself the night before, and couldn't help but think.
At this time, there are still several days before the full moon night! Moreover, it is not certain whether this is the case. But Ling Yuan thought about it and decided to give it a try. After all, this is also a glimmer of hope! What if it really comes true! Moreover, after checking the weather, it was good in those nights, so you should be able to see the moon coming out.
Since there was still plenty of time, Ling Yuan began to practice. For him, this was the best way to fight time. This was the place that was rarely visited, otherwise he would not have been able to practice in the tent like this.
During the practice of practice, time always passes quickly. A few days pass by. This day finally comes the full moon night. As expected, the sky is clear and without a trace of dark clouds. A full moon hangs in the sky, illuminating the entire wilderness.
"Okay! Let me see if this is the case!" Ling Yuan said to himself while sitting on the hillside. At the same time, in order to prevent shocking the other party, he also added a hidden word to himself.
When the night gets darker and the moon is as cool as water, the hour of the hour comes.
"Here! It seems that Hong Xuewei is not dazzled!" Seeing the moonlight, a golden light appeared from the forest at this moment. Then, on the treetops of the forest, a Taoist priest with fairy spirit seemed to slowly climb up the invisible steps from the ground, stepped up the air, and finally stopped in the air.
This scene was as Hong Xuewei said before, wearing a purple Taoist robe, a Jiuyang scarf, a whisk and long silver beard in his hand were neatly combed. He was tall and thin, with white cloth shoes, but his face looked very blurry.
After the old Taoist appeared in the air, he was dressed and looked in his posture, and then he began to worship the bright moon in the sky with Taoist etiquette. Ling Yuan himself was very familiar with this set of things. Although he and this old Taoist priest may not be from the same sect, he still understood the general etiquette of each sect in Taoism.
Of course, these are not the focus of his observation, because there are quite a few people from each Taoist sect. Even if he recognizes these, he cannot recognize the other party's origin. What attracted his attention even more was that after this old Taoist worshipped the moon, a faint light suddenly dropped from the bright moon in the sky, forming a pillar of light, and pouring into the old Taoist.
"Although it is a good way to absorb the essence of the sun and the moon to practice, it is considered a right way, but the other party should not be a right way. Otherwise, just absorbing the moonlight, but not seeing the sunlight during the day. How could a normal practice method be so biased!" Seeing this scene, Ling Yuan immediately had some questions in his heart.
But he did not act immediately, but waited. An hour passed quickly, and the old Taoist ended his worship, turned around and slowly headed towards the forest below. The closer he got to the ground, the blurry the figure became. Finally, it turned into a golden light again and disappeared into the forest!
When he saw this, Ling Yuan jumped up immediately and ran towards that place. At this moment, he had somehow confirmed that the other party should not be alone, but he just didn't know what it was. The most likely thing was that something in this place had become a spirit, otherwise such a situation would not have happened. But from the other party's appearance, if it was really a monster, it would probably be much stronger. After all, the other party's appearance still couldn't see clearly. Think about the snake demon, which is just a demon cultivator in the Golden Pill stage, but it basically has no difference with humans!
Following and sneaking all the way, Ling Yuan quickly passed through the dense forest and came to the place where the old Taoist disappeared before. However, there was nothing strange about the scene. At first glance, there were old vines everywhere besides the trees.
"It's weird, why is there no trace all at once?" Ling Yuan couldn't help but wonder.
This scene seemed to remind him of the situation when he found the sundial flower before, so he began to carefully observe again. But there was nothing else on the ground except the old vines everywhere.
"Can it be that this old vine has become a spirit?" After checking for a while, Ling Yuan only found one, that is, the vines all over the ground actually came from a root, which made him think. But after he saw it with the magic of seeking the Qi of Jiamu, he was sure it didn't matter. Because although this old vine grows lushly and has lush branches and leaves, its Jiamu essence is not special, that is, it is just an old vine that grows well, that's it.
"No! This place is strange! How could such an empty place appear in a primeval forest like this? Moreover, big trees are growing next to it, but old vines grow here?" Looking left and right, after observing for a while, Ling Yuan suddenly discovered a problem that he had ignored before.
In the primeval forest, although some places have empty spaces, they are in some special places, which is obviously not here. Moreover, even in the open space, weeds and shrubs will grow. How could it be as clean as here? The old vines cover the entire open space and cover it tightly.
