Chapter 85: Adult matters, singles should not ask

From north to south, the temperature gradually increases.

Lin Du's body felt warm, which was unusual for her. It was not because of the warm spring in the south, but because Jiang Liang forced her to drink three bowls of bitter medicine.

The medicinal effect of that thing can last at least ten days to half a month.

This was a rare experience for her because she had an ice spiritual root. After entering the Tao, except for a brief moment of warmth after taking medicine or eating, most of the time when her spiritual energy was circulating, she was like a walking ice machine.

After a night of intense brain work, Lin Du fell asleep lying on his back on the spirit boat.

There was clearly an awning on the spiritual boat for shelter from the sun and rain, for drinking tea and resting, but she did not go in. She just lay on the wide and thick deck, covering her face with a book and closing her eyes to take a nap.

Xia Tianwu was guarding at the bow, with hot tea boiling on the stove beside him. Mo Lin was huddled in the awning. Now he had no spiritual energy to protect him, only Xia Tianwu's spiritual power. To avoid accidents, it was better for him to hide.

Two people from the Feixing Sect were huddled at the stern. Although Tao Xian had done nothing wrong, among the three people, two were victims and one looked cold and difficult to deal with. He didn't have the nerve to go over and say hello.

What if you are asked to pay more while we are talking?

As long as the disciples of the Supreme Sect don't open their mouths, their appearance and aura are still very intimidating.

Lin Du actually fell into a deep sleep. The spirit boat was not as stable as the spirit ship, but it was more agile. Floating up and down in the sea of ​​clouds was not a good way to sleep, but it was enough to keep him alert.

There is still quite a distance from the northeast to the southwest of Zhongzhou. It took more than two hours to travel this distance, but the boat was always silent.

When Lin Du woke up in a daze, he pulled down the book covering his face, slowly sat up and took a look at the world under the sea of ​​clouds.

Today's journey was unusually smooth, with no wind or rain, and the sky was sometimes cloudy and sometimes sunny. It was a sunny day when Lin Du closed his eyes.

She suddenly felt a little dazed and didn't know whether there was a Jiangnan in the Central Plains of this world?

Lin Du heard a small gurgling sound. At first, she didn't react, she just thought it sounded familiar, but soon she remembered the day when he confronted Qi Zhun and his teeth were trembling because of the trembling. She turned around and asked, "Are you cold?"

Mo Lin was holding the sword-staff, sitting upright with his back straight, but his hands were clasped around his arms. The sword-staff, which was much longer than an ordinary sword, was clamped in his arms. If it weren't for the high-frequency sound of the end of the sword-staff hitting the bottom plate, no one would have noticed anything unusual.

He opened his mouth, "It's okay."

For people in the Supreme Sect, when they say "okay", it roughly means they are not dead.

Lin Du stood up, "Tian Wu."

She pinched the spine of the book and replaced Xia Tianwu's position.

Mo Lin looked at his junior uncle's back helplessly, and when he saw his second junior sister coming over with a look full of disapproval, he felt a little numb.

"Why didn't you tell me you were cold?"

"Fortunately, I can hold on."

They didn't tell him directly that the snake poison had broken out. After all, there were outsiders on the boat, and it would be better not to let them know Mo Lin's physical condition.

Xia Tianwu frowned slightly, and seeing that every muscle in his body was trembling, he sighed and sat opposite him, "Excuse me, Junior Master, please check the boat for me."

"No problem."

Lin Du left a trace of divine consciousness on the control of the bow, turned around and activated a small barrier array, and threw it into the boat awning as he passed by, without even a glance at the two people inside.

Things like restrictions and barriers require some understanding of the rules of space. Mo Lin knows a little, but Xia Tian knows it all. Mo Lin is unable to cast spells now, so Lin Du has to do it.

Without even pausing, she went around to the back of the awning with the book in her arms. Meeting the two men's somewhat bewildered gazes, she put down the horse's reins in her hand, then sat down on her horse with her sword in hand, facing them, and smiled kindly.

Tao Xian didn't know why, but when he saw that smile, he instinctively wanted to hold his storage bag tightly.

He paid the IOU for the 500,000 high-grade spirit stones. Of course, he didn't have that many spirit stones. It was the first time he had seen 50,000 high-grade spirit stones in his life, let alone 500,000.

I don't know why the elders made unconditional concessions. They gave as much as they wanted. This would require emptying a small spirit stone mine, right?

"Lin...Master Lin, what are you doing?"

Lin Du nodded slightly, "I've woken up, and I have a few questions to ask you."

Tao Xian took a quick look and saw that she was holding a book with the title "Records of Folk Customs in Southern Yunnan" on the cover. He straightened his back and said, "Ask me."

"At this time of year, do you have no mushrooms to eat in southern Yunnan?"

Tao Xian:?

I thought it was a big deal, but you ask me this?

He answered honestly, "It's almost the season for Lingcong, so there are still some. At this time of year, you can still eat it if you go directly to the mountain villages in the western part of southern Yunnan."

Lin Du then changed the topic to the tool making and flower-making trades in southern Yunnan, which were somewhat different from those in other places. His words were full of the curiosity of a child who had never been to southern Yunnan.

Tao Xian began to smile a little when he spoke and was no longer so cautious.

"In fact, there are also divisions in southern Yunnan. The special methods of refining weapons in those villages are not passed on to outsiders. Some are only passed on to females, and some are only passed on to males..."

While listening, Lin Du looked at Shao Fei out of the corner of his eye. She seemed a little dazed, her eyes fixed on the bamboo curtain of the boat awning behind her.

Because of the barrier of the array, it is impossible to see what the people inside are doing.

Most of the small portable arrays are used for mapping and sensing, and some are for gathering spirits and forming barriers, but their range is relatively small. Large-scale arrays related to the rules of space still rely on terrain layout. The barrier cage that Lin Du threw in only covered a small area and just fell within the boat awning.

"Speaking of which, what are Taoist Mo Lin and that guy doing?" Tao Xian couldn't help but ask.

The onset of the snake poison progressed over time. It was a bright morning, but Mo Lin felt like he was falling into an icy cave. It was a chill that came from deep in his bones. Not only was it cold, but it also brought with it a hollow pain as if his bone marrow was being sucked out.

At first, Xia Tianwu's spiritual power only needed to circulate once to have a suppressive effect, but now it doesn't work anymore and needs to circulate repeatedly for several large circles.

When Lin Du heard this question, he did not give a direct answer, "Does Daoist friend Tao have a Taoist partner?"

Tao Xian shook his head.

"Single guys shouldn't ask about adult matters." Lin Du replied with a smile, but his eyes were on Shao Fei, who looked like a naughty child who was protecting food for the elders at home.

Tao Xian: ...What's the word 'single dog'? I suddenly felt a pain in my heart.

The spiritual boat began to slowly slow down and passed through the clouds. The terrain in southern Yunnan is high, and along the way, we could see continuous lush green mountains. It was even more humid than in the north.

"Little Taoist priest, did Taoist priest Mo Lin tell us whether we should go to the sect to get the spirit stones first, or go to the city where the famous Gu doctor is?"

Tao Xian looked towards Lin Du.

Lin Du glanced at Shao Fei. She inexplicably felt that it was better to keep this person under her nose.

According to what she learned from Feng Chao, after that meeting, the three sects, six schools and ten schools only found out that thirty-nine people were ghosts in the bodies of demons. Among the two people who entered the Supreme Sect that year, one is still in seclusion, and the other died many years ago.

Feixing Sect didn't find any monster, but Qi Zhun happened to be an outer sect disciple of Feixing Sect, and he accepted the mission smoothly. Now he is willing to spend 550,000 to bring back Shao Fei, an outer sect disciple. There must be some ulterior motive behind this.

"Go to Phoenix City." Lin Du replied.

In Phoenix City in southern Yunnan, there is a highly respected dragon doctor. No one knows when she came, and no one knows how long she has existed. Usually dragon doctors live in groups, maintain their family from generation to generation, and do not marry outsiders. However, she left the group and moved to the city. She only treated outsiders who were infected with dragon poison, and the conditions were extremely harsh. If the patient did not meet the requirements, she would not treat him.

It is recorded that this insect doctor let people call her Granny Ma. Someone once knelt for a hundred days but still could not be cured by her.

Their best option now is to go to Granny Ma, and their worst option is to go directly to the Gu village where Qi Jun was born.
