Chapter 45
Xin Xiu led Taoist Niu out of Xiang Mao, thinking about where she would go next. Her mission was Xianxi, Jiuwu, and Xiang Mao. Now Xiang Mao has completed it, and there are two places in Xianxi, Jiuwu.
Xin Xiu: "Master Niu, do you know where Xianxi and Laowu are?"
Taoist Niu: "I don't know."
Xin Xiu: "Oh."
When Taoist Niu heard her say it, his scalp was numb, "I really don't know this time. All kinds of fairy mountains and blessed lands can't be found casually. I was just lucky enough to learn some magic secretly."
Xin Xiu suddenly had a whim, "You said, do I want to spread rumors and spread bad things about Xianxi and Laowu everywhere? If the monks from those two places hear the rumors, they will come to settle the score with me. Then I will know the address of Xianxi and Laowu."
Taoist Niu deliberately praised: "What a good idea! You might as well wait for someone to come to you!"
Xin Xiu slapped the head of Taoist Niu: "I see you are so bad. You want me to die. You all agree that this kind of bad method is good."
A yellow flower rose from the side of the road. Xin Xiu used the most casual method to decide the next destination, pulling the petals, counting the number, going to Xianxi, and even numbers to the old Wu, and finally came to the conclusion.
Xin Xiu: "Go to Xianxi first."
She threw away the pedicel in her hand and sighed a little, "Actually, this is not difficult to deliver a letter. I have completed one-third of the task without using it for a year. It is completely unnecessary to give me such a task for ten years."
After saying that, she paused and recalled what she said just now: "...I suddenly felt that it was not very good. It seemed that I had set up some flags. There would definitely be some troubles and twists and turns in the future, which prevented me from finding Xianxi smoothly."
——
In Xiangmao Mountain, the ghost mother Yin Huang looked at the letter in front of him, and an ordinary young man with a dark face. He said angrily, "Why are you being sneaked in again? You are still a monk from Shuling!"
He looked at the content of the letter again, and finally couldn't help but curse loudly, "Damn it!"
"There is not a good disciple of Shuling. Go and capture the brave disciple of Shuling who broke into Xiang Mao for me!"
The ghost masters below took the order and released the Bai Piaopiao army from the jar they carried. In the blink of an eye, they were covered in the sky. Pieces of white souls flew out of Xiangmao Mountain, looking like a group of white birds leaving their nests.
——
In the demon cave, the freak demon finally informed the demon king who had a grudge against Shentu.
"You said, but it's true?"
Youyan lay in a mess on the ground, and his lower body was still the crooked body. "Everything that Youyan said is true. The Deep-Color King used a human body for some reason. He followed a woman of a young age. He also said that he was his disciple."
The Red Dragon Demon King said with a ferocious expression: "Shen Tu rebeled from our demon cave and killed the tiger demon king, which made us lose such a great face. This revenge must be avenged. If he had been hiding under the hands of Lingzhao Laoer in Shuling, we would not be able to do anything to him, but since he came out on his own initiative, we would naturally avenge the tiger!"
The pheasant demon king had a bright face. Under the blurred light of the demon cave, he looked like a beautiful woman with a vivid and fragrant appearance. He raised his eyelids and said a little lazy: "It's been so long, I'm too lazy to care about it. If Aaron wants to go, he will take his own people."
The Red Dragon Demon King was very dissatisfied with his negative attitude, "Chicken Feather, are you afraid of Shentu that stupid guy! You dare not be enemies with him!"
Pheasant Demon King: "I think you are afraid of him. If you are really not afraid, you will take revenge yourself. Do you have to drag us to give you courage?"
The Red Dragon Demon King stood up in anger, "You birds are really brave!"
The Pheasant Demon King was too lazy to move: "Oh, whatever you want."
The Red Dragon Demon King was enraged and threw the Pheasant Demon King into a jade cup and walked away. He left the Pheasant Demon King's cave, turned into a red dragon and flew to the lake.
There is an island in the lake, where the Turtle Demon King is there, and he hasn't moved for many years. Because he hasn't moved for too long, flowers, plants and trees have grown on the turtle shell, and it has become an island. The ordinary demon race dare not go to this island, but only an ignorant group of ordinary birds built nests on this tree, and the Turtle Demon King didn't care about these little guys.
The Red Dragon Demon King tumbling in the lake for a long time before he woke up the sleepy turtle demon king and told her something deep, "Do you want to take revenge with us?"
The Turtle Demon King slowly asked him: "Shentu, who is it?"
The Red Dragon Demon King couldn't bear it anymore and was furious: "Are you sleeping stupid? Shentu doesn't remember it! It's the one who killed the tiger!"
The Turtle Demon King is the oldest among them and has lived the longest. In her eyes, the other monsters are all children, so she is not angry with the attitude of the Red Dragon. She just retracts her head back into the turtle shell and allows the Red Dragon Dragon Demon King to vent his anger outside, and finally has no way to leave here.
The Red Dragon Demon King suffered consecutive setbacks and was so angry that he whistled in the forest. A snake immediately poked his head out of the branches in the forest and hissed.
The position of the Leopard Demon King was obtained from his subordinates. The Red Dragon Demon King rushed towards that direction. When he saw a big black and yellow leopard lying on the tree branch, the Red Dragon Demon King fell to the ground and turned into a human body. He kicked the big tree hard: "Leopard Raid!"
The big flower leopard glanced at him and put his head back on his front paws, "Will you not get angry any day?"
The Red Dragon Demon King held back his anger and told him what Shentu was about. The Red Dragon Demon King was not sure whether the Leopard Demon King would be willing to fight Shentu with him, so the last one came to find him. When Shentu was still in the demon cave, he got along the most with Leopard. Both of them like to lie on the tree, one was in a daze and the other rested, the other was on a high tree branch, and the other was on a short tree branch, and the relationship was pretty good.
Unexpectedly, the Leopard Demon King agreed: "Go, I couldn't beat him in that battle, I will beat him this time."
The Red Dragon Demon King was then happy and announced: "Okay, let's chase Shentu together first and find his traces. We will capture him back to avenge the tiger!"
He found You Yan, who was waiting at the entrance of the cave, raised his hand and penetrated the demonic energy into his body, helping him turn his half-body crooked body into a human body. "You Yan, didn't you say that you left a breath and could feel the whereabouts of their master and disciple? Then you will lead the pioneer to stop them and wait for us to go!"
You Yan got his demonic energy and recovered some demonic power. He was surprised and bowed: "Thank you, Dragon Demon King!"
In the mountains where the demon cave is located, a roar of birds and beasts are roaring and howling, and snakes, insects, rats and ants should first come out of the mountains and scatter into the vast land.
——
Xin Xiu had just passed by a Taoist temple. Seeing that it was getting late, he was about to go and have a stay.
Taoist Niu refused to go in.
It seems like a familiar picture.
Xin Xiu: "Why, you know the people in this Taoist temple again?"
Taoist Niu looked at the sky, not looking at her, nor answered.
Xin Xiu understood: "It seems that there is a grudge again."
Humph, Taoist Niu.
Xin Xiu: "Then you stay here, I'll live by myself, and you can find a grassy field at the foot of the mountain to sleep."
Taoist Niu: If it weren't for the strange chains that tied the neck, I would have run away!
Xin Xiu walked through dozens of steps and went to knock on the door. Judging from the scale of this Taoist temple and the tidyness of the stone steps at the gate, he was a Taoist temple of some origin.
The Taoist temples in this world are different from the Taoist temples in her original world. Most of the Taoist temples here worship the original Xuanling Laojun. Xin Xiu didn't know who the Taoist ancestor, who had a full name of more than a dozen words, was sacred. However, she asked her senior brothers and uncles, but she couldn't get the exact answer. Some said they were immortals a long time ago, some said they were born gods, but no matter what, they must be in a silence in the Taoist court and could not find the inheritance.
So nowadays, most of these Taoist temples know the techniques of alchemy and medicine, and the method of lightening the body is better than ordinary people. Some Taoist temples are based on the name of Taoist temples and worship some wild gods who don’t know where they come from.
Xin Xiu, a lonely woman, came to ask for a stay, but was not rejected by the Taoist priests in this temple. They also prepared food for her politely, and even fruit after meals. The thing looked like a pear and smelled very fragrant.
"This is planted by our patriarch himself, called ginseng fruit, which can cure all diseases. The female guest came here when the ginseng fruit is ripe. The patriarch said that the female guest was a destined person, so he gave this fruit." The young Taoist priest said.
Xin Xiu was originally going to take it and eat it, but after hearing this, he stopped moving. Ginseng Fruit? Have you ever watched Journey to the West?
Xin Xiu: "I wonder, is this the Wuzhuang Temple in Wanshou Mountain? Your patron is named Zhenyuanzi?"
The little Taoist priest didn't know what she was talking about, and his expression was very confused: "No, we are Danyun Temple, and the master of the temple is Bi Zhenren."
After sending the little Taoist priest away, Xin Xiu looked at the ginseng fruit. He didn't want to eat it, so he stuffed it into the treasure bag. She lay in the bed until midnight, but was woken up by the panda jingle. The breath of a stranger approached here, and was already close to the door.
Xin Xiu dared to sleep everywhere alone, and dared to sleep on other people's territory in the middle of the night. Of course, he had some reliance. The Panda Dingdang given by the master was a competent guard. When she was resting, Panda Dingdang sat next to her head and guarded her.
Xin Xiu sat up from the bed with her head on her back. When she saw the black shadow outside the window, she muttered to herself, thinking that this was a hospitality and good Taoist temple, and there were a group of thoughtful and polite Taoist priests, but it turned out to be an illusion.
Two Taoist priests outside Xinxiu Gate held ropes and sacks and whispered.
"She should be asleep. Let's just go in and catch her directly."
"Why would the audience want to waste a ginseng fruit on her body? Even if we don't have to be dizzy with the ginseng fruit, we can subdue her."
"It's definitely right to listen to the viewer. The viewer has never misunderstood. He said that this woman is not simple and it is definitely not easy to deal with, not to mention that ginseng fruit is not a waste. Anyway, if she eats it, when she is refined into a human pill, the pill will be more effective in treating diseases."
As the two were talking, they suddenly felt a slender hand put on their necks. The woman who was supposed to be sleeping in the room stood behind them with disheveled hair and said, "You guys are using people to refine elixirs here?"
...
There was a sudden noise in the Taoist temple in the middle of the night, and then it started to burn. The fire turned red in the sky. When it was almost dawn, the fire was extinguished, and only the curling blue smoke was left to dissipate in the morning sunlight.
Xin Xiu came out of the Taoist temple while yawning, and his expression went down the steps as usual, leading the Taoist priest Niu from the woods.
Taoist Niu glanced at the fairly intact exterior wall of the Taoist temple, and saw the ruins inside from the unclosed Taoist temple gate.
Xin Xiu sat on the back of the cow and complained: "I didn't sleep well all night."
Taoist Niu laughed dryly: "Ah, haha."
Xin Xiu: "You know that there are evil ways here, so why don't you remind me, huh?"
Taoist Niu whispered: "Don't I believe you can deal with such a small thing, haha."
Xin Xiu: "Well, when I saw the big alchemy furnace they used to refine elixirs, I suddenly remembered that this style was very similar to the type you used when I first met you. So, the reason why you knew these Taoist priests was because you also stole other people's alchemy techniques here?"
Taoist Niu: "I just borrowed it to take a look. Their alchemy techniques are full of mistakes. Instead of learning from them, it is better to figure it out myself."
Xin Xiu put his hand on the cow's neck and said with a smile: "You must be glad that you didn't learn to refine human pills, otherwise, I would have killed you when I first met you."
Taoist Niu has been very well-behaved for several days after that and never dared to deliberately cheat her again.
Xin Xiu hadn't encountered anything for several days. Every day when she was on the road, she sat on the cow's back and felt drowsy. She couldn't help but look at the sunset and sighed: "It's so boring, there's nothing interesting."
An interesting thing came to her immediately.
Xiang Mao Ghost Master, with countless dead souls and corpses, caught up with her. A group of monsters from unknown places were shouting for revenge, which also blocked her.
The author has something to say:
Show: Boring, is there anything interesting?
