Chapter 24 Xiyue Lake
Ying Ruo's expression was a little hesitant, which made Duanmu Yu feel very rare, because this person always seems to be decisive in killing! How could he become hesitant? Could it be that the sun came out from the west?
"Senior Brother Yingruo, please speak!" Duanmu Yu said calmly.
"This matter is indeed a bit difficult to describe! Do you still remember that I went down the mountain to Xiyue Lake to kill the water demon?" Ying Ruo's sword eyebrows were frowned, as if he was still struggling. After a long time, he sighed and recalled: "That day, the water demon did not appear. I was anxious for a moment, so I used magic to make a huge wave in Xiyue Lake, trying to lure the water demon out and kill it, but unexpectedly, there was a fishing boat in Xiyue Lake. I thought that if there was a water demon in trouble, no one dared to approach Xiyue Lake, so--"
"How could the fishing boat be so thin that I could withstand the huge waves that I used to spell, so I was overturned and sunk in an instant. Fortunately, I discovered it in time and rushed to rescue me. But at this moment, the water demon suddenly appeared and launched a fierce attack on me. For a moment, I had only time to rescue one person on the fishing boat. After I killed the water demon, I went to find another person on the fishing boat, but it was too late. That person - dead!"
Speaking of this, Ying Ruo shook his head and smiled bitterly, "The owner of the fishing boat was originally a father and daughter. The reason why he risked being swallowed by the water monster and wanted to fish in Xiyue Lake was because he was poor and could not fill his stomach. However, because I was reckless for a moment, I died at my hands. But the daughter still thought I was her savior, and she only thought it was the water monster and did not blame me at all--"
After hearing this, Duanmu Yu understood. It turned out that Yingruo felt guilty about this. To be honest, he didn't like the attitudes of Yingruo, Suo Li and Cheng Yue at all. According to his standards back then, it was pedantic and extremely pedantic!
However, it is precisely this kind of pedantic nature that makes Duanmuyu feel at ease to deal with them, and even likes to be friends with them, because, when you are with them, you are completely worried about not being betrayed or betrayed! They will never let any flaws appear behind you, as long as they are not dead! They can really use their lives to practice the word "trust".
This is also one of the most important reasons why he chose to come to Fuyun Mountain with Suo Li Chengyue in the desert!
"I understand, Brother Yingruo, are you trying to help the orphan of the fishing boat owner? If you are not convenient for you to come forward, I will go there! I will guarantee that she will be able to have food and clothing for the rest of her life. Also, the brother doesn't have to blame herself too much. Since they know that there is a water monster in Xiyue Lake and dare to come out to fish, there is a possibility that they will be killed by the water monster. From this point of view, Brother, you are indeed wrong in your reckless work, but they have to bear certain mistakes!"
Duanmu Yu thought about it and said that the fisherman was dead, the facts had been caused and irreversible, but it would be unfair to ask Ying Ruo to bear all the guilt for this. The key is to try his best to unravel the knot in his heart and then compensate the fisherman's daughter with all his heart.
"Uh--" Ying Ruo was stunned for a moment. Obviously, Duanmu Yu, who had always been taciturn, would say so many things at once, and he had clear ideas and thoughtful thoughts, without any slight silence!
Looking at Duanmu Yu, Ying Ruo shook his head sadly, "Dunmu, you can't say that. Right is right, wrong is wrong. Even if it's just a part of the mistake, it's still wrong. I have reported this to my master. When the third junior sister comes back, I will face the wall for twenty years to punish myself. Now my only wish is to make up for the fisherman's daughter. I was eager to go back to the mountain to report that day, and I only repaired the damaged fishing boat, but this is still difficult for the fisherman's orphan."
"But now that the eldest brother is not here, the fourth brother and the fifth sister are still inexperienced and cannot handle this matter properly. I need to take care of the mountain gate and cannot get out of the mountain for a moment. During these days, I am satisfied with what you do, so I want to entrust this matter to you! I am a practitioner, and I do not have the gold and silver of the world in my hand. This bottle of Peiyuan Pill was refined by me. You can sell it to the rich and noble families in the world, find a way to raise some gold and silver, and try to place the orphan of the fisherman family as much as possible. Also, you have achieved some achievements in your practice now, but you cannot act recklessly in the world and expose the identity of the practitioner. It is important to know that there are countless experts in this world, and there are also many powerful demons hidden in the world, which is not something you can deal with. Only by being cautious can you be safe."
After hearing Ying Ruo's words, Duanmu Yu nodded and agreed to deal with a secular matter, which was only natural and simple. As Ying Ruo said, he is really the most suitable candidate for the entire Fuyun Mountain. However, he did not agree with Ying Ruo's decision to face the wall for twenty years, but he did not persuade him. After returning to the small building to clean up, he left Fuyun Mountain by himself.
Xiyue Lake is three thousand miles southwest of Fuyun Mountain. Ying Ruo can fly with his sword and travel back and forth day and night, but Duanmuyu cannot. Although he has just had a little magic power, he can only activate the Fuyun Ladder and go up and down Fuyun Mountain.
However, even so, Duanmuyu is now a world of difference from three months ago. After sorting out the three levels of qi, blood, muscles, bones, and meridians, his physical strength is no longer comparable to ordinary people in the world. In terms of strength, he can easily lift hundreds of kilograms of heavy objects. In terms of speed, it is easy to run 300 miles a day and night!
Although the distance of three thousand miles is very long, it only takes half a month to reach it!
Of course, if there were two black wind riders taking turns to travel, it would not only be easy, but the time would be shortened to three or four days. However, Duanmuyu didn't care about these things, nor did he follow Yingruo's instructions and follow the prosperous official path.
He just chose the right direction and walked straight through, crossing mountains and crossing rivers. He walked along the way, let alone the towns and villages of Guandao, all of them were deserted wild forests.
At dusk that day, Duanmuyu walked out of a dense forest and saw a steep mountain stream ahead, and a big river flowed through the mountains. In a short period of time, he was afraid that it would be difficult to cross it. At this time, he was also quite tired after walking for more than ten hours in a row. He immediately decided to rest here for one night and cross the river again after dawn tomorrow.
There is no shortage of things that fill the belly. Along the way, wild beasts in the mountains and forests are often seen. With Duanmu Yu's current strength, hunting a few is just a piece of cake. However, he did not encounter that kind of more powerful monster, which made him very regretful.
Because Duanmu Yu has just officially started practicing, his magic power is low, and his practice of dividing magic power into three parts makes him unable to use powerful sword weapons like Suo Li for a long time in the future, let alone use magic power to temper the cold iron for a hundred years.
Since that's the case, he had to get a suitable weapon first. Among the many weapons, he had a good impression of bows and arrows. After all, without much magic power, the lethality of one bow and one arrow will be stronger, especially at critical moments, he can use the Blood Sacrifice method to increase his power!
It can be said that as long as he has a strong bow in his hand, he will not be afraid even when facing a practitioner in the late stage of Tibetan Feng!
However, Duanmu Yu really looked down on the so-called strong bow in the secular world, otherwise he would not have rejected the top-grade Tuogong given by Da Shangtou that day. In his opinion, it was just a child's thing.
The strong bow that is truly suitable for him must be used as the bowstrings of powerful monsters, and the bow body of a century-old or even a thousand-year-old guillo wood core. Such a bow, combined with a special feather arrow, will not even be weaker than a master who can perform sword-control skills, especially in his Duanmuyu's hands, which will definitely be a very terrifying existence.
This is also why Duanmuyu traveled specifically to the remote mountains along the way. On the one hand, it was to find the extremely scarce twisted wood, and on the other hand, it was to encounter a demon beast of the green or red eye level.
But in the past few days, he has gained nothing except for a thousand-year-old iron tree!
