Now that he has been promoted to the late stage of god refining, there is no point in continuing to stay in Liangyashanfang City. After packing his things, Chai Jiangcui set foot on the road to Kyoto again.
After the beginning of spring this year, heavy snow continued to fall. After leaving the Liangya Mountain area, the official road we were traveling was covered with snow.
The little donkey walked on twenty centimeters of snow, one foot deep and one foot shallow, which seemed very difficult.
In ten days, they barely traveled a hundred and twenty miles.
But compared to the donkey's discomfort, Bai Yuan had a lot of fun playing in the snow.
As a monster, the coldness has no effect on it at all. Because no one has stepped on the white snow, it is soft and you can roll around on it as much as you like.
Bai Yuan hid in the snowdrift, revealing a small, shaggy head, and shouted excitedly towards Chai Jiangcui:
"Master, master, can you see me now?"
"I can't see it, but I saw a fox's head growing out of a snowdrift."
Chai Jiangcui curled her lips perfunctorily and continued to look at the books in her hand. Although she had already read through all the books given by the Japanese Travel God, some of the contents were quite exciting and could be used to relieve fatigue and relieve boredom.
"Just a little bit~ Master, you are so boring. Let's have a snowball fight, Shuiyue. I can throw snowballs very accurately now."
The little white fox shook off the snow on his body, stuck out his tongue at Chai Jiangcui in dissatisfaction, and then stared at the Shuiyue Sword behind her.
After these few days of getting along, Bai Yuan has become familiar with Shui Yue Sword. Every time Chai Jiangcui finds it annoying, the little white fox will run to play with Shui Yue Sword.
Regarding its proposal, Shuiyue Sword tapped the tip of the sword to express agreement. The sword lifted up a ball of snow and threw it towards the little white fox. Just like that, a fierce snowball fight began.
The flying snowballs would accidentally injure the donkey and Chai Jiangcui on it from time to time.
Blocking a snowball aimed at the door, Chai Jiangcui smiled silently.
Before I knew it, I was no longer alone on my journey.
However, halfway through hitting the snowball, the little white fox suddenly stopped. Its nose twitched slightly and screamed:
"Master, there seems to be someone in front of you, and the smell is very familiar. It seems to be the bad guy who tried to steal your mirror before."
Um?
Upon hearing this, Chai Jiangcui put down the book in his hand, his eyes moved, and his huge spiritual consciousness spread forward and swept forward.
Soon, Chai Jiangcui spotted Gongsun Ji under a pine tree five miles ahead.
It's just that Gongsun Ji looks a little embarrassed now. There are many holes in his originally brand-new brocade clothes, his handsome face is covered with dust, and half of his left eyebrow has been burned off.
Gongsun Ji's eyes were tightly closed at this moment. If it weren't for the faint rise and fall in his chest, Chai Jiangcui almost thought he was dead.
Being comatose in the wild in the middle of winter is a very dangerous move. The mountains are blocked by heavy snow and prey is hard to find. The hungry beasts nearby will not let go of such a rich piece of food.
"Let's go and have a look."
Although Chai Jiangcui didn't have a good impression of the third young master of Gongsun's family, she couldn't say she had any bad feelings. It was fate that they met, so it didn't matter if she helped him casually.
When she came to Gongsun Ji's side, Chai Jiangcui took out a kettle, heated it with spiritual power, poured a small mouthful of hot water into him, and at the same time stretched out her hand to pinch Gongsun Ji's manhood.
After a lot of trouble, Gongsun Ji was finally woken up by her.
Looking at the familiar figure in front of him, Gongsun Ji thanked him in a weak voice:
"Thank you fellow Taoist for saving me."
“It’s easy to do, no need to be polite.”
Chai Jiangcui shook his head indifferently, then asked doubtfully:
"Just fellow Taoist, why did you faint here? Where is that girl Xiaoqiu?"
She remembered that Gongsun Ji had taken on the task of slaying demons and ghosts. Could it be that there was an accident during the operation?
After Gongsun Ji woke up, he quickly took out a few healing pills from his storage bag, took them, and crossed his legs to adjust his breathing.
But after hearing Chai Jiangcui mention the word "Xiao Qiu", Gongsun Ji's breath suddenly became disordered, and the injuries he had just suppressed showed signs of recurrence.
"Xiaoqiu, Xiaoqiu was captured by the demon. Our hunt for the demon failed this time."
Gongsun Ji looked pale and gloomy,
"After parting with you, fellow Taoist, I quickly summoned three like-minded monks to jointly take over this task. I thought that the combined strength of the five of us would be more than enough to deal with the demons and ghosts in the middle stage of God Refining.
.
But we never thought that there were actually two monsters in the middle stage of the God Refining. The five of us tried our best and managed to kill one of them. But we were exhausted and couldn't deal with the remaining monster at all.
Four fellow Taoists, including Xiaoqiu, were easily captured by the demon. I also used the life-saving trump card given by my family to escape with injuries in front of me."
Gongsun Ji spoke through gritted teeth. From his words, Chai Jiangcui roughly understood the whole story.
It was just a common scenario where a few brave men went to find trouble with a monster, but ended up being killed in reverse.
Therefore, it is better to accept less unreliable tasks. Who knows whether the information he provides is accurate or not.
After talking about his experience, Gongsun Ji suddenly raised his head and looked at Chai Jiangcui, his eyes full of bloodshot eyes.
"Fellow Taoist, the remaining demon ghost has been injured. Can you save my friend? As long as you save my friend, no matter whether you succeed or not, the contents of my storage bag will belong to you."
In order to show his sincerity, Gongsun Ji reached out and patted the storage bag and poured out all the contents.
Forty-three spirit stones, three bottles of forest wood pills for stopping bleeding, three first-level talismans and magical talismans for escape, and more than thirty pieces of low-level ores... all added up, the total value is nearly seventy spirit stones.
stone.
Gudong~
The poor little white fox swallowed at the side. This was the first time since the birth of Lingzhi that it had seen so many possessions. If it hadn't been for its ability to fight the five scum, it would have agreed to it alone.
Chai Jiangcui is also a little excited about such a large amount of cultivation resources. However, she is still more cautious about what she says to people she is not familiar with.
Gongsun Ji's few words were not enough to dispel her doubts.
"There is no problem in taking action to deal with the demon, but I don't know where the demon is. In order to save time, I asked fellow Taoist Gongsun to lead the way."
Chai Jiangcui's words were very tactful. She could save people if she wanted, but she had to go with Gongsun Ji.
In this way, if the demon ghost's strength is too different from what Gongsun Ji said, he will be the first to be unlucky.
"No problem, this is what it should be."
Gongsun Ji seemed to have guessed what Chai Jiangcui was thinking, and agreed without any hesitation.
After recovering a little strength, Gongsun Ji couldn't wait to lead Chai Jiangcui and set off to where the monsters were.
According to Gongsun Ji, Hongling City is thirty miles ahead, and the demon is hiding in a temple south of Hongling City.
Chai Jiangcui briefly recalled that he had seen a map of Ningzhou, and there was indeed a city nearby, so she did not doubt that he was there and followed Gongsun Ji forward.
