Rather than being attacked by this ferocious beast, what shocked Lin Yan even more was the scene in front of him. It is easy to control the ferocious beast through words. In addition to the close relationship between herself and the ferocious beast, this woman's strength is extraordinary!
For Lin Yan, he is more willing to believe in the latter possibility. Because no matter how terrifying this woman's strength is, Lin Yan shouldn't be able to feel it, unless she, like Wang Xuanli, the leader of Xuantian Sect, has successfully stepped into the realm of heaven and man.
Although Lin Yan will not underestimate the world's heroes, the top experts in the Tianren Realm are not just cabbage in the vegetable market, and they are not so cheap that they can be seen everywhere.
In fact, Wang Xuanli is the only one who is sure to have entered the realm of gods and humans. There must be others in the Buddhist sect, but these are all speculations and cannot be confirmed.
Lin Yan cupped his hands towards the woman and said, "It's okay! I didn't know that this is the retreat place of the seniors, but it's the juniors who are rude!"
The woman in the white dress smiled gently and said: "It's not a retreat, I'm just taking a break here."
Lin Yan nodded, turned to glance at the snake-like beast, and asked: "Senior, this is..."
The woman in the white dress replied: "Her name is Shui Ling. She is a type of water monster, dragon. She has a trace of the blood of the ancient dragon. It is almost extinct in today's era."
"I met her by chance and she is by my side now."
Lin Yan nodded when he heard this. This water spirit should be regarded as a kind of mount, but its strength is quite powerful, and it is difficult for those below the innate realm to get close.
After all, the Northern Desert is the territory of the Buddha Sect. Lin Yan couldn't tell whether the woman in the white dress in front of him was related to the Buddha Sect, so it was inconvenient to have a deep conversation.
He was planning to say goodbye and leave, but the woman in the white dress suddenly said, "I wonder where you want to go, little friend?"
Lin Yan paused, but did not hide anything, and said: "Senior, I am going to Xiaowan City."
The woman in the white dress smiled and said: "I happen to be going in that direction, how about we go together? I can also make amends for Shui Ling's offence!"
Lin Yan thought for a while and finally agreed, saying, "Then I'll trouble you, senior!"
No matter what the purpose of the woman in the white dress was, since she was on her way, Lin Yan didn't have to show too much resistance. Just let nature take its course, otherwise it will appear to be a guilty conscience and reveal flaws.
Lin Yan cupped his hands and said, "Oh, I forgot to introduce myself. I'm Yan Ling. What do you call me, senior?"
He was careful not to use his real name, because he was not sure whether the other party knew about the Chang'an War. Once his identity was exposed, many troubles would arise.
The woman in the white dress said, "Just call me Liuli."
Lin Yan nodded and said: "Senior Liuli!"
The woman Liu Li made a move with her hand, and the water spirit lifted up from the large pool of water, forming a circle of water curtain around her body.
"Come up!" Liuli tapped her chin at Lin Yan, and then jumped onto Shui Ling's body.
Lin Yan followed closely behind, and as soon as he got up, Shui Ling twisted his body violently a few times, as if he was extremely dissatisfied that this strange man dared to ride it. Fortunately, with Liuli's comfort, it gradually calmed down.
Then, the water curtain surrounding Shui Ling closed, completely enveloping them. At the same time, Shui Ling's huge body also rose into the air, paused briefly, and then shot away into the distance.
Lin Yan didn't pay attention, he was unstable and almost fell off Shui Ling's body. This made the latter feel a little proud, like a little girl who had succeeded in a prank.
Lin Yan didn't pay too much attention to these. It was just that he was wrapped in a water curtain and couldn't feel the heat of the desert outside at all. He even felt a moist and cool feeling, which made him feel refreshed physically and mentally. !
Moreover, Shui Ling's speed was not slow, and his figure flew forward like a stream of light. Lin Yan riding on him did not need to expend any physical energy, and even rushing on the road became an extremely pleasant thing!
This made Lin Yan feel strong envy in his heart, thinking that it would be much more convenient if he could have such a ferocious beast as a mount.
But this idea is just a thought. Not to mention the rarity of water monsters and the difficulty of taming them, it is really arrogant for him to sneak into the Northern Desert Buddhist Kingdom with such an exaggerated mount!
Along the way, Lin Yan and Liuli didn't have much communication. The woman in the white dress seemed gentle, but she had a kind of indifference inside, and she was not a character that made it easy to get acquainted with others.
Shui Ling's speed was very fast. In a short time, he crossed the desolate area and could already see the outline of the city from a distance.
Liuli leaned over and patted Shui Ling's head. The latter stopped and landed slowly.
The woman in the white dress turned back to Lin Yan and said, "Little friend, let's stop here! Shui Ling's body is too big. If he enters the city, I'm afraid it will cause a lot of commotion. I hope you understand!"
Lin Yan cupped his hands and said: "This is natural! Thank you Senior Liuli for your kindness. If there is a need in the future, I will not refuse!"
Liuli nodded slightly.
Lin Yan flew off Shui Ling, and at Liuli's signal, Shui Ling rose into the air again and flew away into the distance.
Seeing that Shui Ling's huge body gradually became smaller and finally disappeared, Lin Yan retracted his gaze and swept towards the city not far away.
Although it is not as professional as bone painting, Lin Yan has traveled alone for many years and has rich experience in the world. It is not too difficult to pretend to enter the city.
Moreover, the inspections in the cities near the border are stricter, but gradually become more lax as you go inside, and only become stricter again near the Lingshan area.
Even if you don't have a reasonable identity here, as long as you have enough money to pay tribute, there won't be a big problem.
As the saying goes, "The world is as black as crows." If one amount of money is not enough, then get another amount. This is the default rule in the Northern Desert!
Even the Buddha once said, "The Dharma should not be taught lightly." Although money is a common thing, it is also indispensable! This also gives these people a reason to make money openly and honestly. After all, they are also devout Buddhist believers!
After successfully entering the city, Lin Yan did not see the message mark left by the painted bones in the city, so he concluded that they had not arrived yet.
This also shows how fast Shui Ling can travel! After all, Hua Gu and others left first at that time. Lin Yan had a battle with the old monk in the black storm and then galloped all the way to the oasis. However, Shui Ling made up for it later.
Compared with the slow traveling speed of the sand camel, the water spirit can be regarded as a mythical beast! In this harsh desert environment, the advantages are extremely obvious!
According to the original route plan, Lin Yan judged that Hua Gu would bring the rest of the people here, so he was not in a hurry, but found an inn to stay and left a contact mark in a conspicuous place in the city.
As the master of the Secret Hall, Hua Gu naturally has a mature set of signaling codes, which is completely different from the Mo Sect back then. After all, since the sect was besieged back then, some secret codes must have been exposed. If you continue to use them, you will be falling into a trap!
The improved code was more concealed. Hua Gu informed Lin Yan of some communication methods, which could come in handy now.
Two days later, Hua Gu and others arrived belatedly. They had been traveling at an extremely fast speed, but they had just arrived at this moment.
In the inn, Ming Ya stared at Lin Yan with resentful eyes. At first, she was worried. After seeing that Lin Yan was not a big problem, she breathed a sigh of relief and turned into a little resentment.
She naturally understood Lin Yan's desire to protect them when danger came, but knowing was one thing, whether she could accept it was another.
What Ming Ya wants is to face Lin Yan together, instead of hiding behind him and being a little woman!
And what's even more disgusting is that the guy dared to knock her unconscious. Was he addicted? He's so brave, I have to let him go for a few days this time, let's see if he dares to do it again!
It turns out that the girl was very angry and the consequences were serious!
After that, Hua Gu brought the topic back and asked: "Young Master, how did you get out of trouble this time? And why did you arrive earlier than us?"
The aura of destruction contained in the black tornado made even her feel palpitated. After all, what she is good at is intelligence, but she is not good at combat.
At that moment, Lin Yan recounted his encounter in the black tornado and his subsequent encounter with Liuli in the oasis.
Hearing this, Hua Gu frowned and said, "Yaksha clan? There are also flying Yakshas in the Xiantian realm? I didn't expect someone in the Buddhist sect to raise such evil things!"
This matter can definitely be regarded as a secret. Even in the Buddhist sect, there are definitely not many people who have the ability to support Yaksha and cover up the matter.
But Mingya's attention was attracted by the woman Liuli, to be precise, the water monster Shui Ling. Such a mount was indeed more popular with women.
Of course, Ming Ya's attention to this point was not all because of her curiosity about Shui Ling. She asked with a clear voice: "Xiao Yanzi, what is the strength of that woman Liuli?"
Lin Yan thought for a while and said: "I can't feel her realm. I think she used some secret method to hide it. But if she can control such a ferocious beast as Shui Ling, her strength must not be weak!"
After saying that, Lin Yan couldn't help but sigh. Ever since the black sandstorm hit, he had met many masters in a very short period of time. He didn't know whether it was because of the high density of high-level warriors in the Northern Desert or because he was just lucky. Got it!
After a while, he remembered something and asked, "Is there any news about the soul boy and Jueyuan?"
Hua Gu shook his head and said: "There is no news yet, but Anzi has already passed on this matter. I believe it won't be long before something is gained."
Monk Chen on the side looked angry and gritted his teeth and said: "That thief bald donkey is really unethical. Young Master helped him stop the enemy, but this guy just turned around and ran away. When we see him again, I will definitely stab him hard." A few shots and let him know what 'chrysanthemums are blooming' means!"
After he finished speaking, he saw the two women staring at him with unkind eyes. Only then did he realize that he had made a mistake. He laughed dryly and did not continue to speak.
Lin Yan waved his hand and said: "There is no need to force this matter! The purpose of Jueyuan is to send the soul boy to Lingshan to receive canonization, which is the same as the destination of our trip. As long as he can escape the pursuit of the old monk, sooner or later we will meet again of!"
His eyes flickered, and he thought to himself: "There must be a big change in the Buddhist sect, and this trip may be more unpredictable than expected!"
