When Li Rui woke up from the secret realm, he heard the crisp chirping of birds before he even opened his eyes.
This is the west side of Liang Tingguo, where Lin Jing lives, and is known as the Peach Blossom Land.
If a primary school student traveled through time and came here, the opening chapter of his diary would have to be: The sun is shining brightly, the birds are singing and the flowers are fragrant.
But these two words are really correct.
There is a peach blossom above the head, surrounded by vegetation. The sun shines through the gaps between the trees, guiding a path forward.
Beside the path, there are several humanoid spirits with bodies made of rattan, hands and feet, and a patch of green "hair" on their heads. They are the rattan spirits from Peach Blossom Spring.
Several elites held weapons and looked at Li Rui warily.
"That man, why did you cross the market to go up the mountain? Don't you know that this is our clan's holy land and you are not allowed to enter without permission."
[Main mission update: Entering the Peach Blossom Spring. ]
Li Rui thought for a while. At the foot of the mountain was a market, where humans and spirits traded.
The spirits in the mountains will bring medicinal herbs and trees to the humans in exchange for items, such as the swords in their hands, and of course more daily necessities.
The reason why they can live in such harmony is because Liang Ting had been on good terms with these forest spirits since the founding of the country.
Under normal circumstances, this is the first level in front of you. You should use skills or talents related to communication and negotiation, either sneaking or fighting. Of course, relying on your fierce looks may also work.
but
The best way is to negotiate normally, because whether it is sneaking or fighting, it will reduce the favorability of the forest elf here, and then reduce the subsequent ways to gain experience.
Li Rui looked around and saw no sign of He Yang. He had no choice but to find a way to negotiate against the fierce spirit.
"Please don't be offended. I, uh, have been traveling here on the trail, and there seems to be evil in the mountain. I came here to ask if I need help."
The guide clearly states that the main plot here is to help the forest elves drive away evil spirits.
Captain Teng Jing, who was holding a waist knife, looked at him suspiciously for a while and couldn't help but feel a sense of fear.
Fright value +20.
"Are you a Taoist priest?"
The other party can see the evil in the mountain, so he must be capable, but can this fierce person be a serious Taoist priest?
Li Rui was full of confidence: "If it's true, Xiaodao Master has inherited Shenxiao Palace and is willing to help you solve your problems."
When the captain heard this name, his face turned green and his face improved a little. Shenxiao Palace is the leader of the righteous path, so he naturally has this reputation.
It asked: "I wonder what you call it?"
Li Rui always felt that it was hard to leave his real name when making up lies here, so he casually made it up: "Xiao Dao Zhang San."
As soon as the captain heard this random name, his expression turned serious again.
Li Rui laughed dryly when he saw this: "Feng, my name is Zhang Sanfeng."
The captain's face softened slightly: "Who is Taoist Master Sanfeng's apprentice?"
"The master rushes into the void."
The captain's face became serious again.
Translation: Taoist Master Chongxu is the fourth son of Shenxiao, one of the few people in the palace second only to the palace master. You are so young, how can you worship such old gods as your disciples?
Li Rui coughed again: "There is a token on the trail."
He showed the jade tablet with the savior once.
The captain's face softened slightly, and then became serious again: "Isn't this the name of Taoist Zhenyue?"
No matter how closed the place is, as long as there is a practicing person (jing), there is no one who does not know the four sons of Shenxiao.
Li Rui's expression remained unchanged: "Xiao Dao accidentally lost my master's token, so my uncle gave me this gift again."
Captain Lin Jing no longer knew what expression to use to face this person.
Call him a bad guy. He spoke so arrogantly and took out a decent token. Call him a good person. What good person could lose Master's token? Could this thing be fake?
It looked at the slightly scary face again, and saw that it was full of smiles, looking fierce and stupid.
"You and I will go to visit the elder and ask him to make a decision."
Li Rui thanked him repeatedly. He knew that he had passed the first small level. In fact, it was normal. Most people could basically pass it as long as they had a good conversation, because Lin Jing was gullible in nature, but there were other tests later.
He did not act rashly, and followed the leader of the forest elf in a disciplined manner. Behind this path was actually a giant wooden fortress. Inside were forest elfs with relatively high martial arts values, firmly guarding the door leading to the depths of the mountain. .
Along the way, Li Rui saw many forest elves with similar looks, holding vine spears and javelins, staring at outsiders warily.
"May I ask, your Majesty, have you seen other human races?"
He was asking about He Yang.
The captain said: "I've seen it. There was a person who tried to sneak in just now, but we have captured him."
"."
"I was caught before I even started!"
Li Rui estimated that the guy was He Yang. After all, there was only one entrance to the secret realm. It seemed that they were the only ones entering the secret realm this time.
Climbing up along the texture of the trunk of the towering giant tree, he followed the vine spirit leader to the huge cavity in the middle, a huge cavity like a bomb shelter.
According to the main line, after passing the first level, the secret agent will see the tree spirit elder stationed in the fortress in this cave. He has thought about 10,000 ways this so-called elder looks like, and they should all be more than ten meters tall. The ancient war tree that several people couldn't hold.
As a result, I was dumbfounded when I met.
Who is this little dwarf?
There was only a section of gray dead wood in front of him, no more than 1.5 meters tall. Most of the wood was still a big face, with a few short legs and roots underneath.
The captain stepped forward and said a few words to the little wooden man. The man nodded and said, "Taoist Master, please sit down."
Li Rui felt even more uncomfortable. His voice did not sound majestic or majestic at all, but sounded like Donald Duck.
He cupped his hands and sat down on a wooden pillar next to him.
"I heard that the Taoist Priest is a member of the Shenxiao Palace. He saw evil spirits growing in the mountain and came here to help, right?" The elder tree spirit said very politely.
"Exactly."
Li Rui replied.
"The Taoist Master is really a righteous man, but the mountain is the holy land of our forest elf tribe. It is inconvenient for outsiders to enter, and if they are not relatives, we dare not bother. The Taoist Master should rest for a while, and then go down the mountain."
[Main mission update, stage one: thank guests behind closed doors. ]
[Task goal: Obtain the permission of the tree spirit elders. ]
[Task reward: experience value +25000, excellent quality consumables x1, random quality strengthening materials x3. ]
While the elder was talking, suddenly another guy who looked like a ginseng came running in.
"It's not good! It's not good!!"
"Elder, please save Teng Yao quickly, it is contaminated by evil things!"
Ginseng Essence’s little nose and eyes were wrinkled from crying.
Behind it, a spirit similar to Captain Lin Jing lay on the ground, surrounded by billowing black energy, as thick as substance. It is estimated that this guy will be completely swallowed by the black energy after a while.
[Optional task: Exorcise evil spirits and remove enchantments. ]
[Mission goal: Remove Fujiyao’s negative status. ]
[Task reward: Permission from the tree spirit elder, experience value +15000. ]
This is the second level of the Peach Blossom Spring Secret Realm, passing through the fortress and entering the interior of the Lin Jing's residence. There are many ways to pass a level, just like entering a door. Anyway, as long as you achieve your goal, that's fine.
Faced with this optional task, of course Li Rui didn't say anything and just acted bravely.
"Wait a minute, I'm coming!"
He stepped in front of the tree spirit elder and ginseng spirit in a few steps, glanced at him and said, "Evil spirits have entered his body, and his condition is worrying, but there is a way to save him."
The previous Lin Jing captain frowned and said, "The elder said, please go down the mountain."
He was afraid that this person would suddenly cause trouble and delay their rescue.
However, Li Rui said: "Elder, your life is at stake. Why not let Xiaodao try it to dispel your doubts?"
The elder hesitated and said: "You don't know something. This evil thing is the evil spirit in Wuguang Cave in Beishan. If you want to expel it, unless you go outside the cave and find a way to lure it out, it may be difficult to save Teng Yao's life."
Before it finished speaking, it saw a flash of golden light on Li Rui's body and suddenly appeared next to the unconscious Teng Yao.
"stop!"
"What are you going to do!"
The forest spirits around were anxious and angry.
Li Rui was no longer too lazy to talk nonsense with them. He raised his hand, let the divine thunder wrap around him, and aimed at the black energy with a big hand.
