Vol 2 Chapter 15: Chance encounter

Little Black Pig’s talent for searching for spirit grass is strange but indeed powerful. It was only an hour or so that he took Shen Shi to find five spirit grasses, and one of them was the second-grade spirit grass "Tian Shui Lan". It is often used in alchemy and is an important ingredient for several alchemy prescriptions and is of great value.
During this process, Shen Shi also fully realized for the first time the powerful ability of this little pig to search for grass. He often walked around. Without the slightest warning, the little black pig suddenly noticed something. , And then turned his head and rushed into some wild grass or some dark hole, and found those spirit grasses in some strange corners that ordinary people would never notice.
With such a talent, Shen Shi was also amazed, and after collecting five spiritual grasses, he kept his promise and took out a spiritual crystal, and gave it to the little black pig who had been around him grinning and smirking. He gave this spiritual crystal willingly, and even felt somewhat impressive in his heart. The value of the five spiritual plants found by the little black pig, if they go back and sell them in Broken Moon City, the spiritual crystal that can be exchanged is far more than this one. Lingjing.
But... everyone is good friends, don't think too much about this kind of thing!
Shen Shi squatted down, stuffed the spirit crystal into the little pig’s mouth, and then gently touched it with his little head. The little black pig was immediately happy, with the spirit crystal in his mouth, like a child eating When it comes to the sweetest candy I dream of, I look very happy.
Shen Shi was still a little curious at first, and he had doubts about how the little black pig should eat this spirit crystal. It is impossible to swallow it directly like other food, right? If it is said that it is like eating spirit grass, it is impossible, after all, the spirit crystal is very hard, but it will break the tooth.
It just looked like it seemed that the little black pig was happily holding this spirit crystal in his mouth, really like a child eating candy, his mouth moved gently, neither biting nor swallowing. However, after Chen Shi observed for a while, he suddenly found that the luster of the spirit crystal seemed to be slightly lighter than before.
Shen Shi was stunned. As a monk, he was familiar with this change of spirit crystals. It was exactly in the past every time he took the spirit crystals to cultivate the spirit into the body, because he lost a part of his spiritual power. The luster of the crystal will naturally dim a little.
And the scene in front of me seems to be exactly the same situation... Is this little black pig carrying this spiritual crystal, when he walks around and happy like nothing, he is actually doing the cultivation work of drawing the spirit into the body?
Shen Shi looked at this increasingly weird little pig in disbelief, but no matter how he looked at it, he felt that the little black pig seemed to be playing there happily with the spirit crystal in his hands, and there was nothing serious about cultivation. sign. In this period of hesitation and hesitation, he vaguely saw that the brilliance on the spiritual crystal seemed a little darker.
Shen Shi shook his head, thinking that since this little pig had eaten the two beads, the strange thing was that he couldn't make a lot of things, and he couldn't manage that much. Anyway, everyone is together, and I will take a closer look later. He greeted the little black pig and continued to move forward.
※※※
According to Shen Shi’s original intention, this day has just begun. With such a powerful talent as the little black pig, of course, he must continue to search for all kinds of spiritual grass. Wherever cultivators think that there are too many spiritual grass materials, it is really true. Isn’t it great to find too many spirit grasses that you can’t use, and to replace them with spirit crystals on the market?
It’s just that he is looking forward to it, but the little black pig who has eaten the spirit crystal seems to suddenly start to become tired, although he is still a pair of joyful spirit crystals, running around and playing with him. Look, but the little black pig clearly showed that he had lost interest in finding spiritual grass. In the next hour, Shen Shi and the little black pig walked around the Silver Moon Lake, but it was a spiritual grass. did not find.
This is obviously a sharp contrast to the quick and effective finding of the five spirit grasses in the previous hour. Shen Shi tried to urge the piglet several times, but the little black pig was a lazy appearance. Inherent inertia cannot be changed. I don’t want to move when I'm full...
Shen Shi was also helpless with a headache, but he was helpless towards this tired piglet. In the end, he simply comforted himself and thought, anyway, if there are five spiritual plants in the account every day, this day is already very good, and it is not too greedy. it is good.
After thinking through my thoughts, my mood improved a lot, and I laughed and scolded a few words, little black pig, you slacker, and then walked along this wild grass with the little pig who had been smirking completely indifferently.
Just walking, Shen Shi suddenly stopped, but saw that the front suddenly opened up, and there was a large and calm water in his sight. Needless to say, this is naturally Silver Moon Lake.
Shen Shi was taken aback. Most of his thoughts were on Little Pig this morning, and he didn't pay much attention to the almost identical scenery around him. As a result, before he knew it, he actually walked to the edge of Silver Moon Lake. .
According to the information he received, Yinyue Lake covers an area of ​​one thousand acres, including a large area on the lakeside. It is considered a treasure land rich in various spirit grasses and many monsters. Generally speaking, the land around the lake includes those dense ones. The reeds, wild grasses, and some woods are all considered to be the outer areas of Yinyue Lake, and the ones on the edge of the lake are already quite deep.
When you reach the lakeside, the spirit grass produced will gradually appear high-grade, but with it, more powerful and fierce monsters will appear, and because it is the edge of the big lake, except for some terrestrial monsters, they will also appear from time to time. There will be some mysterious and peculiar water monsters, and occasionally they will come out to injure people, making it hard to guard against.
For this reason, ordinary cultivators or disciples of sects with a lower level of Taoism usually gather medicine in the periphery of Yinyue Lake for safety reasons. The monks who will actually walk to the edge of Yinyue Lake are actually not counted. Especially many.
It's just that... Shen Shi looked around, and saw that the lake was as smooth as a mirror, and the surrounding area was peaceful and beautiful, with no signs of half-differentiation, let alone any dangerous monsters.
Walking along this road today, it seems that you haven't seen a monster beast?
Shen Shi was a little surprised in his heart, called a little pig, to tell him not to be too far away, and then proceeded slowly with a little caution while paying more attention to his surroundings.
On this lakeside ground, there is no such kind of reeds that are as tall as a person. It seems that the forest-like reeds are only distributed in the direction of the lake where he has been before, and at this moment, most of them are slightly low. The wild grasses grow very luxuriantly, and the height is knee-high, and in some places it even reaches waist-deep places. If some dwarf monsters hide in the wild grass, it is really not easy to spot. Not to mention how difficult it would be to find those humble spirit grasses that grow in these bushes.
A little further away, on the west side, there is a dense mangrove forest extending from the shore to the shallow water area, which is also very lush.
Shen Shi walked to the lake and looked into the lake with some vigilance. However, the water was clear. Some sand and rocks in the shallow water could be clearly seen, except for some leisurely swimming fish. Did not see any monsters that could threaten people.
At this point, Shen Shi finally felt relieved, but he couldn't help but feel a little strange. It stands to reason that he shouldn't be so peaceful in a place like Yinyue Lake that is quite deep. What happened today?
Could it be that it has something to do with the unexpected actions of the Yulong faction yesterday?
He was thinking in his heart. At this moment, he only heard a sharp roar suddenly sounded somewhere in the distance, like a famous sword out of its sheath, sound like a dragon, with extraordinary momentum, and shocking the world.
Even after such a distance, Shen Shi was shocked in his heart. He turned his head subconsciously and looked around, only to see a sword light rising into the sky at a lakeside in the far east. It was clear and majestic, with unparalleled momentum, and it followed. But there was a raging noise, and it seemed that countless people suddenly came bravely, and a melee suddenly started in that place.
Shen Shi's heart suddenly jumped, thinking that the direction was the depths of yesterday's reed, it seemed that the secret was still not kept.
And as the melee suddenly unfolded with great fanfare, the place by the Silver Moon Lake suddenly became like a pot, instantly chaotic, and quickly spread out.
Shen Shi felt uneasy. When he was thinking about whether he was going to be farther away, he heard a burst of anger mixed with shouts, shouts, and screams, and at the same time, there was a faint sound of footsteps. Hastily, it rang from several directions, as if a messy herd of animals rushed over.
Shen Shi's face changed slightly, and he was about to leave. Suddenly, if he felt something, he looked back and saw several people coming from a distance among the wild grass behind him. They seemed to be casual cultivators, separated from the front and back. There are males and females. At the end is a tall monk. Somehow, although he just glanced past him, Shen Shi always felt that the man seemed familiar, but he couldn’t remember where he saw him in a hurry. .
And the few casual cultivators who came by saw Chen Shi standing alone by the lake, but this Silver Moon Lake was originally a land without a master, and naturally everyone came, presumably a monk who came here to gather herbs. Well, so these people didn't care too much, just a little bit of vigilance in their expressions. After all, it is not easy to survive in the wilderness in the wild, and it is normal to be wary of such people of unknown origin.
However, among these few people, the tall monk who walked at the end seemed to have a trace of frustration and unlucky expression. After seeing Shen Shi, his body suddenly shook. The expression on his face suddenly changed, and he was surprised. However, at the same time, he seemed to gnash his teeth faintly, and seemed very annoyed to see Shen Shi.
Naturally, Shen Shi would not understand the kind of depression that a person has been looking for for a few days and wanted to rob him but could not find anyone. In fact, he didn't care much about those casual cultivators, even if he seemed a little bit I don’t think of a familiar guy, but I’ve never seen it before. There are people everywhere in the world. Who can remember them all?
(To celebrate the anniversary of my first trip to the swimming pool, I learned how to swim. I will write another chapter for my hard work today. I will post it at 12 o'clock.)
