Chapter 12 Riding the Crane

After the girl entered the inner mountain gate, she immediately ran and jumped up the stone steps.

Her figure was light and she kept going up the stone stairs on the mountain road. After a while, only her back was left.

"Follow me quickly!" The girl turned around and shouted to Mu Yi, who was stunned at the foot of the mountain.

Mu Yi hurriedly strode to catch up. He was used to walking on steep mountain roads every day. To him, these layers of stone stairs were like a flat road.

After a while, the two of them walked out of more than a thousand stone steps, and the lowest cloud layer was already stepped on by the two of them.

However, when Mu Yi raised his head and looked up, it was still cloudy and misty. He couldn't see the end of the stone steps, and he didn't know how high they were.

"Senior sister, do you want to build a stone pavilion here?" Mu Yi asked when he saw the girl stopped.

The girl shook her head. She took out a jade flute that was only three inches long and full of emerald green from her arms. She licked her lips slightly and blew a long and long flute sound.

The sound of the flute echoed across the mountain peaks, spreading farther and farther.

"It sounds so good!" Mu Yi sincerely praised it. Although the girl was not playing any music, the sound quality was very pure and far from being comparable to the bamboo flute in the hands of a child in the mountain village.

Not long after, a crane's cry came from a distance, as if echoing the girl's flute.

"Here we come!" The girl smiled slightly and put away the jade flute.

"Be calm later and don't scare Xiao Qing." The girl ordered Mu Yi.

"Yes, senior sister!" Mu Yi asked doubtfully, "But who is Xiaoqing? Is she also an inner sect senior sister?"

Before the girl could answer, she saw a white shadow flashing in the distance on the horizon, flying towards here.

"What a big strange bird! Could it be a demon bird!" Mu Yi squinted his eyes and looked at it, shocked. Mu Yi had heard that among the sea monsters, there is a type of demon bird that is called a demon bird.

Very large, much larger than ordinary seabirds.

"Bah! This is a red-beaked crane. It is a spiritual bird that we Xuanshi have domesticated since childhood. How can it be compared with ordinary monster birds!" The girl gave Mu Yi a blank look.

"It turns out that they are spiritual birds that were domesticated by the Xuanshi who cultivated immortality. Well, spiritual birds are like domestic loyal dogs, and demon birds are like wild hyenas." Mu Yi thought to himself, but did not dare to talk nonsense anymore.

After a while, the crane folded its wings and landed on the mountain peak. The girl immediately rushed up and gently touched the crane's wings, which seemed very intimate.

Mu Yi was shocked. The crane was much taller than the girl. After spreading its wings, it was three feet long, which was several times larger than the average crane and sparrow.

The crane has white feathers all over its body, but only its long beak is red. This is probably why the name of the crane is red-beaked.

Although the crane is very big, it has a very docile temperament and allows the girl to touch it without any resistance.

Suddenly, the girl took a step, jumped up, and sat on the back of the crane.

Mu Yi was startled, but the crane remained unmoved.

"Why are you still standing there? Come here quickly!" The girl turned around and waved to Mu Yi.

Mu Yi was extremely confused, widened his eyes and murmured: "Sister, do you want me to follow the crane?"

Mu Yi's embarrassment made the girl giggle: "Idiot, you don't know how to fly in the air, how can you keep up with the crane! In order to build the stone pavilion, today I will let you broaden your horizons and take a ride on the crane!"

"Thank you, senior sister!" Mu Yi was surprised and happy, but still a little hesitant: "It's not dangerous to ride on the crane!"

"It's hard to say this!" The girl suddenly said with a straight face: "If you offend the crane, you may be thrown down halfway!"

Mu Yi was stunned for a moment, but then he saw the girl couldn't help laughing and knew she was joking.

"I don't know if spiritual birds like the crane understand human nature." Mu Yi murmured in his heart, slowly walked to the crane, bowed to the crane, and said politely: "Brother He, I don't mean to offend, I just want to follow my senior sister.

To complete the mission, please give Brother He a helping hand."

Xianhe seemed to turn a deaf ear and didn't even look at Mu Yi.

Mu Yi hesitated for a while, but in the end he did not want to miss this rare opportunity, so he jumped onto the crane's back.

At this moment, the crane suddenly spread its wings, and a strong wind roared, immediately rolling Mu Yi backwards several feet.

Mu Yi was so horrified that he flipped upside down in mid-air due to the force of the wind, and then fell onto the stone steps.

"Hahaha!" The girl let out a laugh like a silver bell, and then said to Mu Yi: "It's not broken. I'll give you this thing."

The girl put her hand into her arms, and after a while, she took out a palm-sized silver fish and handed it to Mu Yi.

"What's weird in her arms? Why can she hide everything but not see it?" Mu Yi was curious. He saw with his own eyes that the girl took out long feathers and jade flutes from her arms, and now she even took out another one.

Dried fish!

Moreover, after putting the feathers and jade flutes back in my arms, I couldn't see them at all.

Mu Yi took the small fish, and the crane immediately noticed something, turned around, and stared greedily at the silver fish in Mu Yi's hand.

"This is saury!" Mu Yi's heart trembled. It is rumored to be the most expensive fish.

The swordfish is shaped like a knife, the meat is tender and has no fishy smell, and the yield is extremely low, so the price is extremely high.

Mu Yi heard from his father that when he was young, he was lucky enough to catch three saury fish weighing less than a pound. He used these three saury fish to buy a pair of extremely high-quality jade bracelets in the market, as a gift for him and Mu Yi.

Mother's token of love.

"The crane likes to eat this kind of saury the most. If you feed it once, it will become familiar with you." The girl pointed out.

"Yes, senior sister!" Mu Yi replied, but there was something in his heart.

The swordfish, which is regarded as a rare treasure by the outside world, is just food for feeding spiritual birds in the eyes of Xuanshi. The world of Xuanshi is indeed a different world.

Mu Yi brought the saury to the crane and followed the instructions of his senior sister. While watching the crane swallow the saury, he gently stroked the crane's feathers.

After the crane swallowed the swordfish, he couldn't help but squeal softly and seemed to be in a much better mood. Mu Yi took the opportunity to jump on the crane's back and sat behind his senior sister, without being stopped by the crane.

The girl hugged the crane's neck and asked Mu Yi behind her to sit firmly.

Mu Yi nodded nervously.

The girl whispered a few words to the crane, then gently touched the crane's neck and pointed to the distance in the southwest.

Mu Yi felt his body suddenly light up. The crane spread its wings and flew dozens of feet away, already floating in mid-air.

Mu Yi was so frightened that he hugged the crane tightly with his arms and buried his head on the crane's back, completely ignoring his embarrassed posture and the ridicule coming from his senior sister.

After a while, feeling that the crane seemed to be flying more smoothly, Mu Yicai finally had the courage to raise his upper body.

After all, this was his first time flying in the air, how could he miss this wonderful scene before his eyes!

The breeze blows in front of you, and the clouds fly past you. You even occasionally pass through the clouds and feel a sense of moisture.

The shadows of the mountains in the distance gradually became clearer, and the beautiful peaks on both sides continued to recede. Occasionally, you could even see other cranes flying in the sky, with people riding on them faintly.

Mu Yi overcame the fear in his heart and looked down. The hills looked very low. The wide stone-stepped mountain road seemed like a thin line in the forest, flickering. Mu Yi even saw the mountain gate.

The few guards nearby were just a few small black dots at this time, like insects and ants.

Just looking at this kind of scenery for a moment will open your mind and make all your tension and fear disappear.

Looking at the dreamlike scenery around him and smelling the fragrance of the girl floating in front of him, Mu Yi felt so comfortable in his heart. All the hardships of joining the Pinghai Sect were worth it just for this moment!

"Senior sister, your status in the sect is not low, you can actually own a crane and a spiritual bird!" Mu Yi couldn't help but ask.

"I'm just an ordinary inner disciple, I just happen to be responsible for raising this crane." The girl shied away with a slight smile.

At this time, the crane carried the two of them and happened to fly over a waterfall as high as a thousand feet. Looking at the silver horse that seemed to fall from the sky, Mu Yi, who had witnessed such a spectacular scene for the first time, could not speak for a long time.

"Here we are!"

Unfortunately, the girl was directing the crane to stop on an inconspicuous mountain peak opposite the waterfall.

Mu Yi withdrew his gaze and looked at this place. There were rugged rocks here, and this small mountain peak stood upright like a penholder. There was no mountain road leading to the bottom of the mountain.

Only by relying on cranes can we reach the top of this small mountain.

The two of them got off the crane. The girl pointed around, making a circle of several feet in size, and said to Mu Yi: "Junior brother Mu, we want to build a stone pavilion here so that we can see the waterfall on the opposite side.

When autumn comes in a month, you can still see the fiery red maple leaves on the hillside over there."

"It is indeed a good place to enjoy the scenery!" Mu Yi nodded and suddenly asked: "Senior sister, am I the only one to build the stone pavilion? Why not let other inner or outer disciples come to help?"

The girl's face was slightly red, and she said with some embarrassment: "Haha, because I want to give someone a surprise, so this matter must be done quietly, and you must keep this secret for me!"

"After the stone pavilion is built before autumn, I will give you some benefits, and I guarantee that you will not be disappointed!" The girl promised again with inducements.

"It's difficult to repair the stone pavilion in a short time. So, in the next period of time, I can fly on a crane every day!" Mu Yi thought excitedly, and he assured the girl: "Junior brother will definitely do his best.
