Chapter 108 Qingluan Peak (Part 1)
After a while, Lin Shen came back with a melon and handed it to the shop owner, asking him to cut the melon into pieces.
After Lin Shen sat back in his seat, Anu asked, "Brother Anos, where did you go just now? What were you holding in your hands?"
Lin Shen said, "Oh, it's Hami melon, a local specialty. The temperature difference between day and night is large in the desert, and the melon is rich in sugar, making it a great after-meal dessert.
It's my fault too. I forgot about this when I first got here. I only remembered it after I sat down. If Ling'er can't eat barbecue, she can eat grilled naan and that."
When Zhao Linger heard this, she said, "Brother Anos, I...thank you for thinking about me."
After a while, the melon slices were brought over. Anu grabbed a piece and said, "Anu, take a look at the specialty that Anos mentioned. How does it taste?" As soon as he took a bite, Anu covered his mouth with one hand.
Li Xiaoyao said, "Anu, how is it?"
After swallowing it, Anu said, "This melon... is too sweet."
Li Xiaoyao, Zhao Linger, and Lin Yueru all picked up a piece, took a bite, and said, "This... is so delicious."
Lin Shen thought: Fortunately, the melon is ripe. But it looks like it, just eat it if you like it.
Lin Shen said, "Take it easy, or you won't be able to finish the barbecue and naan."
Not long after, the barbecue and naan were served.
Xiaoyao grabbed a skewer of barbecued meat and started eating, saying, "This barbecued meat is really hard to find in the Central Plains. The meat is fragrant and juicy. It tastes really good."
Lin Yueru said beside her, "This baked naan is not bad either."
At this moment, they noticed Lin Shen's actions. Lin Shen took a naan and placed four skewers of meat on it. Lin Shen held the naan tightly, then pulled out the skewers and put them aside, leaving only the meat on the naan.
Lin Shen was eating by himself and didn't notice the looks from the other four people. Only after he finished eating the naan roll with meat in his hand did he notice that Li Xiaoyao and the other three had been looking at him.
Lin Shen looked surprised and asked, "You guys, what is this...?"
Li Xiaoyao asked, "How do you eat this?"
Lin Shen said, "This is a way of eating in our area. It combines the aroma of meat and noodles."
After hearing this, Li Xiaoyao and the other three followed suit. After taking a bite, Anu said, "Really? It's really delicious. Brother Anos, you are so stupid. You didn't tell me earlier that there is such a way to eat it."
Lin Shen smiled bitterly and said, "Blame me, blame me."
Just like that, after finishing a barbecue dinner, Lin Shen ordered a few more pieces of baked naan as dry food. After paying for the meal, he found a store and bought some beef jerky.
After packing up, Lin Shen and his companions left Boxian Town, found a deserted place, and left using the Yuexing technique.
When they opened their eyes again, they found themselves on a hillside surrounded by green mountains, clear waters and lush vegetation.
Zhao Linger said, "Is this Qingluan Peak? It's so beautiful."
Lin Shen said, "It seems to be correct. It is Yun Tianhe's retreat. I just don't know how he has become after five hundred years."
Lin Yueru said, "Speaking of which, I have always had a question. Yun Tianhe didn't practice immortal cultivation, so how did he live for so long?"
Li Xiaoyao said, "I don't understand this question either."
Lin Shen said, "That's because five hundred years ago, he, Han Lingsha, and Murong Ziying came to Buzhou Mountain in order to go to the Fantasy World to search for a demon named Liu Mengli.
You need to go from Buzhou Mountain to the ghost world and look for something called a shadow branch. In Buzhou Mountain, you will encounter a candle-holding dragon and fight with it.
After the battle, he obtained the Candle Dragon's Breath. And it was this Candle Dragon's Breath that allowed him to live far longer than an ordinary person."
Anu said, "Wait a minute, you mean they are looking for a demon?"
Lin Shen said, "That's right, Liu Mengli is from the Meng Mo clan, which is a branch of the demon clan.
More than ten years ago, when the Qionghua Sect was fighting against the Huanming Realm, he was rescued by Yun Tianhe's father Yun Tianqing and given to someone else to raise.
At the age of twenty, his memory was restored and he returned to the Fantasy World. If nothing unexpected happened, he should still be alive at this time."
Lin Yueru said, "So there is such a past. Let's quickly find the Tianhe Stone and the Tianqing Stone. We can't let Murong Xianren wait too long."
After that, the five of them started looking for it together, but they couldn't find it after searching halfway up the mountain for a long time. Lin Shen searched every crack in the rocks, but still couldn't find it.
Li Xiaoyao said, "We've been searching for a long time, but we haven't found any ore."
Lin Shen thought for a moment and said, "I'm thinking that the two minerals might be on the top of the mountain. There's a place called Shichenxi Cave on the top of the mountain, so maybe they'll be there."
Zhao Linger said, "The stone sinking into the stream cave... has a deep understanding of the world. People in this world are trapped by lust, how many people can truly understand the world?"
Anu said, "The person who picked this name must have experienced a lot and seen through the world."
Lin Shen said, "The name Shichenxi Cave was given by Yun Tianhe's mother, Su Yu. It is also the location of her and Yun Tianqing's tombs."
Li Xiaoyao was stunned when he heard this and said, "No way, you want us to go to other people's tombs to look for minerals, what do you think?"
Lin Shen said, "I don't want to either. The problem is that I've been searching Qingluan Peak for a long time and can't find it. I can only go there to see what's going on."
At this moment, several people heard a "hum~" sound. Zhao Linger said, "Did you hear anything?"
Lin Yueru pricked up her ears, listened quietly for a while, and then said, "This... is the sound of a wild boar."
Li Xiaoyao asked, "How did you hear that?"
Lin Yueru said, "I used to go hunting with my father often, and I can still recognize the sound of wild boars."
Zhao Linger said, "Is that wild boar... powerful?"
Lin Yueru said, "It's okay. We are all martial artists, so it's not difficult to deal with it. It's just that the fangs are a bit annoying."
Anu said, "Sister Ling'er, have you never seen a wild boar?"
Zhao Linger shook her head, and Lin Shen said, "Please, Linger has never left Xianling Island since she came to practice Taoism. How could she go to see a wild boar?"
What Li Xiaoyao and his companions didn't know was that someone had been listening closely since they arrived. When he heard that they were going to the Shichenxi Cave on the top of the mountain to look for ore, he hid himself.
A few people continued to walk forward, and as they walked, they found that there was no road.
Li Xiaoyao said, "Oh no, there's no way out. Anos, where is the Shichenxi Cave you mentioned?"
Lin Shen pointed upwards and said, "It's up there."
Anu said, "Then how do we get up there?"
Lin Shen looked around and found many vines, many of which had traces of being held by people. He said, "I'll go up and take a look first. You guys wait here for me."
Zhao Linger and the others nodded, so Lin Shen used the Moon Step to jump up. When he reached the top of the mountain, he saw a small wooden house. Next to the cabin was a towering tree. On the other side of the cabin was a small river with clear water flowing slowly.
There is a grave in front of the cabin, but it is a bit far away and I can't see clearly what is written on the tombstone.
Lin Shen thought: This seems to be where Yun Tianhe lives. That grave should be Han Lingsha's. It's a pity that I can't help Han Lingsha return to life. "Miss Han, I did what I promised you. I just don't know if Yun Tianhe is in there right now."
Lin Yueru shouted from below, "Anos, have you found a way to take us up?"
Lin Shen finally came to his senses and shouted to the people below, "You can grab these vines and climb up."
So the four of them found four vines and climbed up little by little. But unexpectedly, the vine Zhao Linger grabbed was too thin, and when they were almost halfway up, the vine suddenly broke.
Zhao Linger fell to the ground, and at this time an adult wild boar approached Zhao Linger. Zhao Linger had never seen a wild boar before, so she was a little scared.
When the wild boar saw Zhao Linger, it dug the ground with its hooves twice, grunted a few times, and then rushed towards her...
