Outside Wu Zhuang Taoist Temple, on the winding stone path down the mountain.
Shen Luo did not fly directly. Instead, he walked down the mountain slowly with his hands behind his back. Along the way, he felt the mountain breeze and thought about the gains and losses of this trip to Wu Zhuang Taoist Temple.
Shen Luo could have put an end to this matter after the ginseng fruit tree was saved. However, Lion Camel Ridge was involved and Shen Luo could not stop worrying. Therefore, he decided to go to Lion Camel Ridge before going to Tianji City.
Firstly, he wanted to investigate the situation of the Yin and Yang Bottles. Secondly, he wanted to meet Fu Donglai.
Since the Martial Meet of the Three Realms, Fu Donglai had returned to Lion Camel Ridge and said that he wanted to investigate the appearance of the Devil Void Earth Dragon in the Mystery Land. After that, they had lost contact.
In addition, Shen Luo also wanted to know the results of his investigation.
He always felt that these things did not seem to be related, but there seemed to be a hidden thread connecting them.
"Brother Shen …" While he was thinking, a woman's voice suddenly came from behind him.
Along with it, there was a pleasant tinkling sound of a silver bell.
"Miss Man Er, didn't you plan to stay for a few more days?" Shen Luo asked in surprise.
"Brother Shen, I changed my mind and decided to go to Dreamy Cloud Swampland first." Wu Man Er caught up with him and said with a smile.
"Dreamy Cloud Swampland?" Shen Luo muttered to himself.
"I hope you can come with me," Wu Man Er said straightforwardly.
Shen Luo was stunned and a little surprised.
He subconsciously wanted to refuse because the most important thing for him now was to go to Tianji City and find a way to repair the jade pillow.
Going to Lion Camel Ridge was just along the way.
As for Dreamy Cloud Swampland, it was obviously not in his plan.
"Is there any danger in going to Dreamy Cloud Swampland?" However, just as he was about to refuse, he changed his words.
"I don't know." Wu Man Er shook her head embarrassedly.
Then, she added, "I have never been there before, but I heard from my master that it is a swampland as big as the ocean."
"Why do you want to go there?" Shen Luo asked doubtfully.
"Brother Shen, do you still remember why I came to the Fifth Manor?" Wu Man Er blinked and asked.
Shen Luo frowned and nodded.
Of course, he remembered that Wu Man Er had sneaked out of the Forest of God and came to the Fifth Manor in order to get the Original Sap of the Ginseng Fruit Tree.
"It's said that in the depths of the Dreamy Cloud Swampland, there's also a Ginkgo Divine Tree. It's tens of thousands of years old, and it's also nurtured with spiritual liquid. I want to go and collect some of it to reinforce my clan's Divine Tree Restriction. Perhaps, we can reduce the number of Devil Souls' rebellions and reduce the casualties of our clansmen, "Wu Man Er's eyes lit up as she said.
Hearing this, Shen Luo suddenly felt a trace of guilt in his heart.
Wu Man Er had just helped to save the ginseng fruit tree, which was a great favor to Shen Luo. However, he subconsciously wanted to refuse her help, which was somewhat unreasonable.
"Brother Shen, is there anything that's difficult for you? If you have something urgent to do, I'll let it go. I can go alone, "Wu Man Er said guiltily when she saw Shen Luo's hesitation.
Shen Luo smiled and said, "Forget it, it's not a big deal.
"Forget it, it's not something particularly urgent. I'll accompany you to the Dreamy Cloud Swampland first. I've read about it in a book before. There's a saying about the Dreamy Cloud Swampland being filled with a myriad of phenomena. This is a good opportunity to verify it. "
"But …" Wu Man Er hesitated.
"No buts. Previously, you helped me to save the ginseng fruit tree and prevented the conflict between the Tang Empire and the Fifth Manor. This time, I'll go with you to the Dreamy Cloud Swampland to return the favor," Shen Luo said with a smile.
"I helped to save the ginseng fruit tree because I was selfish …" Wu Man Er said embarrassedly.
"I don't care about that. Anyway, I must return the favor. However, if you don't want to, then I won't force you," Shen Luo said, pretending to be indifferent.
"Of course, I'm willing," Wu Man Er said quickly.
"That's good. Let's go now?" Shen Luo asked.
"Okay." Wu Man Er smiled and nodded immediately.
Shen Luo put away all his thoughts. The two of them drove the flying boat and immediately soared into the sky.
…
A few months later.
Outside the Dreamy Cloud Swampland, there was a small border town.
The gate of the small town was wide open. There were only a dozen soldiers with crooked armors guarding the two sides of the town. It was obvious that the defense was lax.
As soon as he exited the cave in the city, there was a rather lively street.
It was the early morning market. There were simple straw mats on both sides of the street. Fruits and vegetables were placed on the straw mats. Behind the straw mats, the peddlers were shouting loudly, trying their best to sell their wares.
After walking for a while, there were shops and taverns. Except for some shops that were selling breakfast, most of the shops were half-open. It wasn't time for business yet.
However, there were many people on the street who were rushing to the early morning market. Among the many leisurely figures, a tall man in a green robe was walking side by side with a beautiful woman in a blue dress. The two of them were dressed very differently from the residents of the small town. They stood out in the crowd.
The woman was wearing bright silver ornaments, which always made a crisp tinkling sound as she walked. Coupled with her beautiful appearance, she attracted a lot of attention along the way.
They were Shen Luo and Wu Man Er, who were preparing to go to the Dreamy Cloud Swampland.
Wu Man Er didn't care about the curious gazes of the passers-by. Or rather, her eyes were filled with curiosity at the moment. She was constantly looking at the passers-by and the furnishings on the street.
She had grown up in the Forest of Divine Trees. Her understanding of the outside world was almost all obtained from her mother and master.
Previously, when he came out for the first time, he also flew directly to the Fifth Manor. Along the way, he also chose to rest in some high mountains and dense forests where there were few people. He had never taken the initiative to enter a crowded city like this.
Therefore, everything she saw around her had a different kind of attraction to her.
In fact, on their way here, Shen Luo had easily discovered this point. He deliberately brought her to a few cities to settle down and stayed for a few days.
Even so, every time Wu Man Er arrived at a new city, she still felt very curious.
However, they didn't come to this small town to satisfy Wu Man Er's curiosity. They came to buy a necessary item to enter the Dreamy Cloud Swampland.
The two of them walked along the street into the city. The closer they got to the inner city, the more deserted the streets became.
"Brother Shen, is it really possible to buy a Guiding Light in this small town?" Wu Man Er asked doubtfully.
"Don't underestimate this small town. As the saying goes, those who rely on the mountain live off the mountain and those who rely on the river live off the water. This small town is close to the Dreamy Cloud Swampland. The reason why it can survive for thousands of years is because of the geographical advantage of the Dreamy Cloud Swampland. Whether it's the Individual Cultivators who enter the Dreamy Cloud Swampland to seek opportunities, or the Sect Cultivators who come here to gain experience, they all rest here. The Guiding Light is a necessary item to enter the Dreamy Cloud Swampland. Naturally, there are many places in the city that sell it, "Shen Luo said with a smile.
