Nine-layer armor-breaking

Chapter 101 Lingsong Lake

At dawn, an old man and a young boy, exhausted from all the travel, walked to a place.

The two stopped and stared at the shocking scene in front of them.

The faint light of early morning shines through the mist, covering everything in front of me, neither dim nor bright.

The old man and the young boy were none other than Sha Lao and Jiang Xuan; and the shocking scene before their eyes was Lingsong Lake.

The Lingsong Lake, which I have heard of for a long time, is now sparkling with waves under the reflection of the morning sun.

Although Lingsong Lake is just a lake, it is so big that one can't see the end of it at a glance.

If it weren't for the clear, turquoise water, Jiang Xuan would have thought that the Lingsong Lake in front of him was a vast ocean.

The beautiful scenery that Jiang Xuan had seen before only existed in the paintings of painters.

Today was the first time he saw such a beautiful lake with his own eyes, and he was quite excited.

He finally realized the truth that seeing is believing.

After the two of them had enjoyed the beautiful scenery for a while, Jiang Xuan finally interrupted his spiritual communication with the beautiful scenery in front of him and spoke.

"Mr. Sha, how do we get there?" Jiang Xuan asked.

Hearing Jiang Xuan's words, General Sha withdrew his thoughts.

If Jiang Xuan was shocked when he saw Lingsong Lake just now, then the thoughts revealed in Sha Lao's expression at this moment were definitely different from Jiang Xuan's.

As Mr. Sha looked towards the endless other side of Lingsong Lake, it seemed that he was not appreciating or admiring the beautiful scenery, but rather had a familiar feeling.

Sha Lao cleared his throat and said, "We've come such a long way. Now that we've reached Lingsong Lake, there's no need to worry about anyone chasing us."

"It's not a big deal to waste a day on the journey to the Qixi Desert. Let's take a break here before continuing on our journey."

Although Jiang Xuan always remembered the purpose of his trip, he also did not forget the person his father had assigned to him.

But he felt that since his father asked him and his sister Jiang Xian to go to the Qixi Desert to look for the Shalan fruit, it must be that he not only wanted him to bring back the Shalan fruit, but also wanted to train him and Jiang Xian.

Jiang Xuan understood that when he was at home, he also listened to his father's words every day and focused on improving his martial arts. He didn't need to take care of any matters at home.

There is nothing useful for me at home now, so I might as well travel outside and see more.

Moreover, Jiang Xuan has not delayed his own improvement since leaving home.

Now he is a seventh-level Heavenly Stage warrior, and his progress is even faster than when he was training at home with his father.

No matter what, Jiang Xuan still wanted to stay at Lingsong Lake.

Whether it is because of one's tired body, one's desire to see something, or simply for the beautiful scenery, one wants to stay for a while.

"Cough cough!"

Old Sha coughed lightly, and Jiang Xuan's thoughts were withdrawn.

Jiang Xuan glanced at the surrounding environment and found that there were indeed vendors and some scattered shops as Mr. Sha said.

After looking around, I didn't find any inn.

Moreover, the surrounding shops and stalls were obviously deserted, with few customers and a lack of bustling atmosphere.

But on second thought, Jiang Xuan felt that it was probably because the population here was sparse, so business was not very good.

In this way, we can keep the beautiful scene before our eyes for a longer period of time.

Thinking of this, he nodded with satisfaction, and then looked at Mr. Sha.

"Mr. Sha, do you know where there is an inn nearby?" Jiang Xuan asked.

Old Sha nodded and said, "Of course I know. Let's not stay here. Let's go to the front and take care of it first." "Not stay here anymore?" Jiang Xuan was puzzled.

"Look around carefully. Do you see any boatmen sailing?" Old Sha asked Jiang Xuan.

"Boatman?" Jiang Xuan muttered to himself after hearing this while carefully surveying the surrounding environment.

After a long moment, Jiang Xuan looked at Old Sha and said, "It's really strange. How can we get across without a boat?"

After saying that, he glanced at the other side of Lingsong Lake with a confused look in his eyes.

"So, we haven't reached the place where we can board the boat yet." Old Sha said, raising the corner of his mouth slightly.

"How far is it?" Jiang Xuan asked.

Old Sha shook his head. "It's not far. I estimate it'll take less than an hour to walk. If we walk faster, we might be there in half an hour."

Jiang Xuan hummed, then asked, "Then, Mr. Sha, where should we go to get some food first?"

"There's an old store just ahead. Let's go take a look!" Old Sha waved his arms and pointed with two fingers, his tone sounding a little more expectant.

Jiang Xuan actually wanted to ask Sha Lao why he didn't wait until he got there to have a good meal. But then Jiang Xuan thought about it and forgot Sha Lao's age. Naturally, he couldn't compare Sha Lao with his younger self.

After all, I have been hungry for a long time, so it would be a good thing if I could eat something before continuing on my journey.

Thinking of this, he picked up the package at his feet and quickly quickened his pace to catch up with Mr. Sha who had already cleared the way ahead.

……

Although Jiang Xuan and Sha Lao should be quite tired now, they are warriors after all, not ordinary people.

The two of them walked quickly to the location where Mr. Sha had pointed with his finger in the air, and arrived there in the blink of an eye.

For warriors, especially high-level warriors like Jiang Xuan and Sha Lao, this distance is naturally not a problem even if they are hungry.

However, when Jiang Xuan and Sha Lao actually arrived at the door of this store, Jiang Xuan realized something was wrong.

This shop has no name. The only thing that tells us what it does is a tattered wooden sign standing on the roadside in front of the shop, with the word "tavern" engraved on it.

However, perhaps because the wooden sign had been there for too long, the two words "Tavern" could only be barely recognized, and some of the strokes had been worn away by wind and rain.

From the appearance point of view, if you compare it with any other store nearby, this store has no chance of winning.

The building is old, and even the important wooden sign displaying the name of the tavern is directly erected on the side of the road. The name has been eroded and is about to be erased, and no more additions will be made.

All of this made Jiang Xuan feel confused.

……

"Shopkeeper!" Old Sha stepped over the threshold of the tavern and shouted first.

Hearing Sha Lao's voice, a young boy who was sleeping on the table and was a few years younger than Jiang Xuan hurried to Sha Lao.

"Sir, what would you two like to eat?"

The young boy hadn't completely shaken off his sleepiness yet. With his hazy eyes and skillful words, it really made people feel a little distressed.

Old Sha smiled at the young boy and replied, "A pot of wine and three sets of Lingsong."

He said crisply, "Alright! You two go find a place to sit down first, I'll be right back!"

At this point, the young boy's sleepiness disappeared, and he became full of energy and recovered as before.

Seeing the two of them randomly choose a square table to sit at, they walked towards the narrow back hall...
