C66 (2/2)

At this moment, a cool breeze blew over. Mulan shivered all over and sneezed. ”You and I have traveled through the Three Realms,” said Priest Lu. ”You are tired and tired. Your body has not been properly nurtured and nurtured.” Seeing the road ahead gradually widen, he said joyfully, ”This way, we can ride on horseback.” He took out a talisman from his sleeve, ignited it with fire, and threw it on the ground. He muttered an incantation and said: ”Buying and selling stone statues, gold and silver for service, quick!” As the voice faded, white smoke rose into the air, and a ragged beggar appeared out of nowhere. He stretched his body and slowly said, ”Who wants to do business here? ”This journey of three thousand miles is not far, pay five taels of silver first; disturb my sweet dreams, sin is great, and pay two taels of silver.” Hu Meiniang and Qi Tian hid in the darkness, and after examining them thoroughly, they could not help but sigh: ”This transaction has not even begun, and the owner already owes him seven taels of silver. With such shrewdness, even the steward of wealth could not help but feel ashamed, and sigh in admiration.”

Taoist Lu smiled and said, ”Sure, sure. I want two fast horses. You can pay for them together.” The beggar rolled his eyes and spoke loudly as if he was talking about some precious treasure: ”There are many good horses in the world, and each one has their own unique characteristics. Among them, the most famous are Lu, Xue Li leopard, Wu Sun, Jue Ying, Qing Hai Gu, and the Lion Steed. However, that Lu Ma is said to be a nuisance to the Lord, and is very unlucky, so the ones he rides less.” Mulan said, ”Han Fu Bo said, 'Xing Tian Mo Long, Xing Di Mo Ma Ma. ”Horses are the origin of armor, and are extremely useful in the country. It can be seen that this horse is naturally very useful.” The beggar nodded his head and said: ”Amongst all the rare treasures, the horse is the most precious. One, as you say, is of great use. The other, being a living thing, is the most human, the most loyal and reliable. Amongst the famous horses, they all had their own unique characteristics. However, the green mane white seal was the most bizarre. This horse travels a thousand miles a day and travels eight hundred times in the night. It is not an illusion, but it is also the one that is the most weak. With the care and care of its owner, it is feared that there might be some mishaps. ”

Taoist Lü was stunned as he heard all these strange anecdotes that he had never heard before. He smiled and said, ”Since he can run a thousand and eight hundred miles, his physique and strength must be very good. Why take such care of him?” The beggar said, ”His hooves are thinner than any other horse's. After running for a long time, they are broken. It will take half a year or even eight months before it can grow back again. It's extremely slow, so the horseshoes used for the Cyan Mane and White Seal will need a layer of soft Tianshan snow-plush inside. One of them will cost at least five to six hundred silver taels. ” Taoist Lyu clicked his tongue and said, ”Even a full set of hooves would cost two to three thousand taels of silver just because there is so much snow down there?”. If it was more particular, how could an ordinary person afford to raise it? ” The beggar shook his head and said, ”The Green Mane White Seal is not very particular about food and drink, but it is actually very easy to feed. However, its four legs were much stronger than the rest of the horses. If it was a normal horseshoe, it would be damaged in less than three months. Thus, the iron it used was quite precious. In the royal house of the Wang and Sun dynasties, there were also those that were forged with black iron. ”If that's the case, not to mention five or six hundred silver taels, it would not even be surprising if it was worth a thousand silver taels.” He looked at the couple from head to toe and ridiculed, ”As for the marriage ceremony? ”There's no need to buy a BMW like that. You only need to buy two donkeys.” After receiving dozens of silver taels from Mulan, he took out two pieces of paper and silk from his sleeve, folded them right and left, and threw them into the air. Qi Tian thought to himself, ”I once heard Yang Qi say that the Half Immortal Tea House has this kind of divine ability. Who would've known that this person would use it to buy and sell tea to make money?”

Qi Tian watched as Taoist Lu and his wife walked away. He pulled Hu Meiniang and said, ”Have you brought any money with you? How about we buy two donkeys as well?” Hu Meiniang was stunned and said, ”He also has two golden leaves on him, but I wonder if he is willing to sell it?” He only felt himself staggering and his sleeves were pulled straight by her. He then walked forward and heard her say, ”This ragged hawker, whether it's a brocade merchant or the most avaricious person in the world, where is there a person who doesn't want to sell things? He was summoned from afar, and he also broke the night's sleep, and should have been looking for an opportunity to do a few more business. ” He waited until he was in front of the beggar, but when he saw the beggar's disdainful expression, he said coolly: ”Are you fellows the Taoists who want to buy a horse and chase after the eloping women? ”Not selling, not selling?” Qi Tian was enraged, he grabbed the man's shirt, with his other hand he shook his shiny golden leaves, and shouted, ”Can you make it clear, will you sell it or not? Grandaunt has two fists, which one do you want to serve? ” The beggar's eyes lit up as he said with a face full of smiles: ”If you want a good horse, then I'll sell it. Don't hurt our friendship.” He folded two white horses and put the golden leaves into his sleeves. Then, he disappeared like a wisp of smoke.

The two girls ran and ran until they arrived at the edge of a mountain. The sky was getting brighter, and before them were white clouds that looked like white winter snow. The sound of breathing could be heard, and the howling of the mountains had cut off all paths. Between the two peaks, a light arc circular bridge spanned across the sky, its beams faintly orange and translucent. The morning sun rose behind the stone bridge, and the massive curtain was lifted. The entire mountain was golden and full of vigor. It spilled onto the stone platform beneath the bridge. It was as smooth as a mirror, like the reflection of water. On top of a green tree in front of a thatched cottage on the bridge were two livestock. They were Taoist Master Lü and Mulan's donkeys. They let out a cry as they felt the yang energy in the valley rise. The white horse purchased by Qi Tian's heavy money was also transformed into its original form. ”This natural arch bridge is connected to a mountain wall at one end and tends to be different parts of the mountain at the other end. It is an empty space with a majestic aura, truly a work of art that fully displays the power of Creation.” Qi Tian sighed. ”At such a crucial moment, I'm so worried, but big sister is in the mood to appreciate the scenery?” He ran towards the thatched cottage and saw a small wooden signboard hanging on the wall, reading ”Old Han Mountain Residence”. He didn't know whether to laugh or cry and said, ”I didn't want the relay stations in Little Liang Country to be so destitute.” Hu Meiniang smiled and said, ”That's right. Maybe that day, it was Mu Hu who moved the stone tablet and changed it to 'Feng Qiao Courtyard'. There is only a wooden plate left here.”

When they entered the room, not to mention Yang Qi and Qing Yi, even that Taoist Lu and his wife were unable to see them, they could not help but be stunned. Qi Tian stomped his feet and said hatefully, ”Those two leopard beasts used to trick us to come here. You can't get angry with them.” He kicked over the table and chairs, rushed out the door, and headed towards the cliff. Hu Meiniang suddenly thought of something and thought, ”If you want to go up the mountain, how can you disappear on the same path?” If we were to turn back, we should also be able to meet face to face with them. ” He called out: ”Sister, be careful. I'm afraid we may fall into a trap.” Qi Tian disapproved and said, ”This is the wilderness, how could there be someone with nothing better to do than to set up traps here? Could it be that they are trying to use their weapons to stop the six great beast kings? ” They stood together and jumped onto a mottled rock. However, they heard a crunching sound as the rock bounced up. She was caught off guard and was unable to dodge in time. Her body flew up into the air and fell straight towards the cliff on the other side of the stone bridge. Hu Meiniang did not have time to think deeply before she leapt up and caught her, landing on the side of the cliff. Qi Tian's face turned pale with fright, and she said in a trembling voice, ”So dangerous, so dangerous … If it wasn't for my sister, my life would have been turned into a dead spirit long ago.” Hu Meiniang was also frightened to the point that her soul was about to leave her body and she was unable to move. After being exposed to the sharp sunlight for a long while, she forced a smile and said, ”Indeed, great fortune is here. If we really fall down from here, where would our lives go?” As soon as his voice fell, he suddenly felt the rock beneath his feet go soft and he could not hold it in his hands. Before the two of them could jump, they let out a scream and fell into the valley along with a large piece of fallen rock. A curious bird flew over to take a look, only to see that the bottom of the cliff was covered in layers of clouds. The bottom couldn't be seen, and the shadows of the two girls could no longer be seen.

At the 8000 Cave Mountains, the walls of the mountains were very deep, the boulders were towering, the moisture was present, and there was nothing left behind. The valley floor was where the spirit had departed, and falling down the cliff was when one's intestines had been cut off. When Qi Tian and Hu Meiniang fell to the ground, they tried their best to save themselves. One of them pulled at a tree branch while the other frantically begged for cloud magic, both too fast and too fast for success. The two cried out, ”My life is over. I don't want to die unjustly under this cloudy cliff.” His eyes were closed, waiting for death. He no longer had any will to live. Someone laughed out loud. ”Old Wu, I've got a big fish hooked onto me. I'll definitely teach you a lesson today.” Although his voice was soft, it was like a thunderbolt that cut across the sky. The two of them listened attentively and were very familiar with each other, and it was precisely that Three-Eyed Demon Lord Li Jin who had broken the zither several times and ended the calamity on the boat, as well as the buddhist gods and monks. They could not help but feel ecstatic in their hearts as they shouted out, ”Master Fighting Master, please help me!” That person exclaimed: ”Strange! Weird! How can this big fish speak? Am I hearing things? ”Since it is such a rare item, there is no way we can let it go.” Seeing that the two girls were about to reach the bottom, three ropes flew over from the side of the cliff and drew a few circles, wrapping them tightly and resting about half a zhang away from the ground. Hu Meiniang and Qi Tong looked at each other in dismay, then suddenly heard someone exclaiming loudly before they focused and suppressed their souls. They were both drenched in sweat after this perilous event and were unable to speak. Someone from above said in a huff, ”Unlucky. I only hear the howling of the wind, and I know they are two big birds. When I look carefully, I see that they are two chicks with bared fangs and brandished claws.” Another person sighed, ”Thankfully you used three fishing rods. Otherwise, you wouldn't be able to withstand a single one. If you fell onto the ground, not only would your muscles and bones be broken, you might even be affected by the poisonous flowers and herbs, unable to survive.” Qi Tian asked happily, ”So senior Wu is here too?” It was actually Demon General Wu Jiu. He then looked at a rock. The monk was sitting cross-legged with several ropes in his hands. Each rope was tied to a green bamboo stick that was as thick as an infant's arm. Indeed, it was no different from a fishing rod.

Wu Jiu stroked his beard and laughed. ”Little girl, it's been a while since we last met.” He untied the two of them and brought them to the monk. Hu Meiniang did not dare to slack off. She slightly cleaned up, bowed, and greeted respectfully, saying in a gentle voice, ”Grandpa Buddha saved me with more grace.” The Little Demon Empress did not dare to forget the fact that she had cultivated for countless generations. ” I may be a monk, but I am not some buddha grandpa. They are all Bodhisattvas and Arhat from the Western Paradise. My abilities are shallow, and my merits are great. That's right, you are a little demoness but you are extremely intelligent. If you train hard, you will be able to achieve true results in ten generations. Qi Tian chuckled and said, ”Since that's the case, then Grandpa Buddha should've taken my gift for granted, so you should just take it as a courtesy.” He thanked her for bowing. The monk said with a smile that was not a smile, ”Girl, it's fine if you don't know what's good for you, but why are you so unreasonable? In the future, who would dare to marry you? Even if they were to be fooled, Yang Qi would certainly be incomparably fearful of you and would be deeply afraid of receiving a river lion's roar. ”

The old and the young were still arguing, but Wu Jiu Dao was chatting with Hu Meiniang as they walked along the desolate valley path. Gradually, they arrived at a karst rock. There was a large and rough axe at the entrance of the cave. Qi Tian said, ”Why would there be such a thing here? ”It's not bad to ride it in for a bit.” Wu Jiu laughed and said, ”This bamboo raft is used to escape and escape, how is it a friendly cruise ship? The two of you will survive this disaster, and you can only say that there will be a blessing after all? This place is extremely dangerous. If you are not careful, you will lose your life at the bottom of the valley, and not see the light of day. ” Qi Tingxiao knew that Lu Li never smiled. However, when he heard Lu Li's words, he became even more surprised. However, after seeing the calmness at the bottom of the valley and not hearing the killing intent in Lu Li's eyes, he became even more confused. The monk sighed, ”That Black Kylin Silver Bottle was being gently forced by Qian Yan and it was looking for an excuse to escape on a cloud. Wu Ironspear and I followed us all the way here and saw that Yang Qi was in a daze as he drifted down the mountain, then he sent it to the courtyard to recuperate. We did not want to be caught by the King of Beasts. For some reason, we became food for blood.” Qi Tian was jumping as he shouted, ”Yang Qi has been taken care of by you, so he is safe and sound. He really is Grandpa Buddha.” The monk glanced at her and sneered, ”Don't try to flatter me. I saved his life, but I can't recover my wits yet. I can only wake up after eating the Sky Flower Grass for three days.”

Hu Meiniang said, ”This Beauty Flower Grass is a rare item in the world. It's not easy to find.” Wu Jiu Dao laughed bitterly and said, ”That exhausted monk and I had originally found a ripe herb on the flower bed of the old Frigid Mountain, but when we accidentally pulled out its roots, we alarmed a gigantic phoenix in the middle of the mountain. It rushed over, secretly launched a sneak attack, and just barely managed to plunder the herb away, then with a strike of its wings, it caused a huge wind to blow in the nine heavens and overturned us all onto the ground, sending us flying towards the bitter land along the way.” Hu Meiniang exclaimed, ”The land of suffering, could it be another place where a great deity lived in the mortal world? It was said that regardless of whether one was an immortal, buddha, fiendish demon, or monster, if they fell to this stage, their entire body's mana would be sealed by the heavens and earth. They would be no different from mortals. Those who escape will continue to cultivate. Those who are restrained, their soul will report to the Underworld. ” The monk said with a snort, ”These words are a bit shameful. Compared to ordinary mortals, they are still much stronger. Otherwise, how could you have the strength and technique to hinder the descent of the two of you?”

Wu Jiu sighed, ”When I first arrived at the bottom of the valley, I didn't feel that it was dangerous at all. But every night, the valley would be shrouded in fog and poisonous miasma would erupt. Therefore, even if a hundred beasts disappeared, a thousand insects would not live. It was one of the five poisons in the world. Even in the valley, they could not find a single trace of it. Both of us used our inner breathing to conjure up the Pure Yang Barrier, and used the liquid of some rare medicine to rub it on our skin. We didn't breathe it out, and taught the miasma not to invade, but even so, our skin was itching unbearably. After a few days, when the rations had been finished, a few fishing rods were made, and the birds in the sky were caught and fed daily. ” Qi Tian said, ”No wonder the two of us were caught and kept alive.” Wu Jiu replied, ”It's just that in the recent days, the poison miasma has become even more intense. It's already extremely difficult to resist it. According to the ancient teachings, the karst cave could reach the East China Sea. However, the undercurrents were turbulent and the situation was perilous. Seven to eight out of ten people who escaped had died. If the two of you do not wish to be corrupted by the miasma today, you can only follow us old people and flee to the East Sea. ” Hu Meiniang took this seriously and said, ”Is there no other medicine that can resist it?” The monk said, ”Of course.” The two of them looked at the plants on the ground, which were made up of some iron trees, ten thousand year green vines, and fragrant patchouli. Amongst them, there were several plants. Their fruits were sparkling and translucent. They were slightly green and purple and gold in color. They were extremely eye-catching. Bi Yao replied, ”This herb is unique to this area. It only has an evergreen leaf growing on it. It's also called a Jade Leaf Pearl.” Hu Mei thought for a bit and said, ”General Bai Gu once said that if it isn't some strange poison, then there must be a way to cure it.” There is no doubt that this Jade Bead is different from the others. ” Wu Jiu smiled and said, ”He is indeed a smart person. The effects of this fruit are great. Not to mention ordinary poisons, even with the Weakening Grass, Crane Head Red, and Moneybags soaked in it, in the time it takes to drink a cup of tea, the poison could be transformed into clear water. It is a pity that this is a foot high, and the devil is a foot high. Aside from those miraculous medicines, there is bound to be some kind of strange poison, and this miasma is gradually eroding, yet a single leaf of this jade is difficult to resist. ” Pull out a leaf, see half yellow and half green, already withered state. Wu Jiu sighed and said, ”If the two of us don't have its juice smeared on us, we would have a Pure Yang True Barrier. When encountering the poisonous miasma, it would be able to completely destroy us. Now that it is unable to protect itself and the juice is becoming ineffective, you and I will not be able to avoid the poison miasma. I am afraid that it will immediately turn into dust. ” Qi Tian and Qi Yang were shocked by what they heard. Both of them held each other's hands, covered in cold sweat and chilled to the bone. The monk looked around and urged, ”Right now, it's about time to go in. Once the miasma arrives, there's nowhere to hide. No matter how dangerous our future is, we still have to create a world. The two of us will continue to be gods and devils, and the two of you will still walk west. Don't hesitate and quickly leave with me. ” Qi Tian and Hu Meiniang sighed helplessly when they saw them jump onto the raft. They looked at each other in fear and also jumped onto the raft. They thought to themselves, ”Gods and devils who don't want to be so powerful are also in such a difficult situation.”
