Chapter 173 Golden Pool Banquet
Du rolled up his sleeves and didn't know that Ding Xing had left the scorched earth slope at this time, and went west alone to Gaofeng Kingdom alone, crossed mountains and ridges to find the birthplace of the Xingteng River. Then he walked along the river, starting his long journey of thousands of miles.
There is no end or even a goal for this trip. Ding Xing decided to travel along the river bank and wait for him to search the Shengteng River. If he still cannot find out the traces of Hu Yanluo and Kang Changqing, the Qiongtai Sect fellow disciples, he will not be too persistent. He will return to Yuexing Winery by then.
It will take more than a month in a flash.
Since Ding Xing entered the territory of Gaofeng Kingdom, he has traveled thousands of miles along the rising river bank. Whenever he encounters a horde of wild cultivators, he will go to inquire.
He focused on those wandering monks who moved from overseas. He Xijing said it very clearly that Kang Changqing's natal magic weapon was found by a group of pirates. As long as he found overseas wild cultivators who knew these pirates, he could follow the clues about Kang Changqing and find Hu Yanluo.
Of course, this is Ding Xing’s plan. Whether the results can be achieved depends on his luck. Anyway, in the past month, he has gained nothing.
This day.
Ding Xing rode the Qingfeng through a land called "Flying Bat Ferry". It is rumored that hundreds of years ago, mortals built towns on the shore, but later they encountered the disaster of water monsters, destroyed the embankment, and the river water began to flood, and frequent floods and natural disasters broke out, causing all the towns to be flooded.
From then on, people were deserted.
Even the ferry is no longer available. After a long time of waste, monsters gradually occupied the shore territory, especially because of the largest number of bats, the name of "Flying Bat Ferry" is also famous.
Near the ferry, there are foggy jungles along the coast for hundreds of miles. Ding Xing is walking through the forest at this moment, his foot speed is extremely slow, and it is still daytime, but the gray-brown fog is almost spreading against the ground, and the trees are towering into the sky, making it difficult for the sun to shine in, and the sight is filled with dark and unlucky colors.
Qingfeng's demonic power was still shallow. He had just walked in the forest for an incense stick, and he lost his way. He had to stop the deer hooves and turn his head to ask Ding Xing for help.
"This is the ferry. There are many monks going back and forth between the two sides of the Shengteng River. We don't have to hurry to go, let's take a break first."
After saying that, he put down the deer's back and threw a jar of spiritual wine for Qingfeng to let it drink it on its own.
Ding Xingze walked to one side, stretched out his fingers, and pointed it at the center of his eyebrows.
I saw a vertical crack slowly cracking in his seal hall, gradually revealing a blood-red vertical eye.
While the eyes opened and closed, the vague foggy environment in all directions suddenly became clear.
He directly looked through the layers of clouds and mist and clearly captured the landform scenery within a radius of more than ten miles.
In fact, he carries the Divine Wine with a strong divine consciousness, and the detection range of divine consciousness is farther, but every release of divine consciousness will consume mana. The third item on his forehead is to observe naturally, which is more convenient to use.
Moreover, some fogs in the earth will interfere with divine thoughts, and at that time, the third purpose will become extremely important.
This third magic eye is the demonic eye that Ding Xing sacrificed in "Blood Orifice Tongshen Gong". It took him nearly a year to successfully integrate the demonic eye into his body and refine it as freely as his natural eyes.
But the magical powers of the demon eyes are a bit unsatisfactory.
At present, Ding Xing’s known power is only perspective fog and invisibility detection. When encountering some powerful illusion restrictions, it is a bit stretched and cannot be used.
The key is that he cannot use the magic eyes to attack, he can only watch, not fight.
However, when he first entered his body with his eyes, Ding Xing sensed the powerful magic power contained in the magic eyes. He used the "Blood Orifice Tongshen Gong" to refine it, which actually brought his cultivation to a higher level and broke through to the mid-stage realm of the Xuanfei. This was an unexpected joy.
Even though the third purpose magical power was not as expected, Ding Xing was still very satisfied with the retreat for more than half a year.
Since he entered the plateau area of Gaofeng Kingdom, he has traveled through clouds and mist almost all day long. The third eye has really helped him a lot and greatly reduced his time to find his way.
At this time, Ding Xing opened his third eye and detected the nearby environment. He did not find any abnormalities. Unexpectedly, he was about to call Qingfeng to continue on his way when he suddenly saw several sword lights flying over from a distance.
They came from the north, but they did not rush to cross the Xingteng River. When they approached the ferry, they fell into the jungle one after another.
Considering that monsters appeared in the jungle, Ding Xing had already used the Yueyin hexagram before entering the forest. He and Qingfeng had long hidden their traces, and the distance between the two sides was also far away, so his direction was not exposed.
Ding Xing had been traveling on the river bank for a month. No matter what monk he met during this period, he would inevitably have to approach and inquire, and this time it was the same.
He signaled Qingfeng to stay where he was and approached two or three miles alone. The conversation between these monks was clearly heard. He was curious after hearing the beginning.
"Brother Cai, are you sure the Jinchi Banquet will be held tonight?" This was a middle-aged man asking questions. There were only three people in his group. On the left was an ugly woman, on the right was an old man with a white beard, and on the right was also the brother Cai he mentioned.
Brother Cai stretched out a finger and poked the sky: "Hehe, only on the full moon night will spiritual wine gush from the golden pond. Today is the full moon, and the banquet will undoubtedly be held!"
The ugly woman immediately continued: "What is the origin of that spiritual wine that can actually increase the Taoist practice of our Xuanfei monks? Our fellow practitioners have been seeking a hundred years of life at the Feibat Ferry. Every three or five years, they have to sneak into the heart of the Shengteng River to capture the water demons, but they have never seen an island in the river!"
She had a little doubt in her tone, as if she didn't believe Brother Cai's words.
It is no wonder that she is an indigenous monk and is very familiar with the environment on both sides of the Shengteng River. There has never been an island in the nearby waters of hundreds of miles. However, Brother Cai just said that there is a big island in the river, a golden pool on the island, and there is spiritual wine with diligent cultivation in the pond. How can she not be confused?
Brother Cai muttered in anger: "The so-called hearing is false, and seeing is true! Does the island exist? Is there a golden pool and spiritual wine? If you go to the island to take a look, will the truth be revealed? If you don't believe it, it's useless for me to talk nonsense! If it weren't for our decades of friendship, I wouldn't have revealed this beautiful thing, don't be ungrateful!"
Seeing that he was angry, the middle-aged man quickly tried to smooth things over: "Brother is serious, how could he not believe you? But what you said is really incredible! In just a few months, there is more than a thousand acres of island in the river. You must also see the island clearly at night. You must collect Jinchi Lingjiu on the full moon night. No matter how you hear it, it looks like a mirror flower and water moon!"
