Volume 1 Southern Regions Chapter 22 Mountain Ghosts
"I know who you are. Bai Ze looked at the woman across the veins and rivers, and looked at the red leopard and civet creek on the opposite bank crawling in the grass, and the two spirit beasts were lying lazily together, without looking at Bai Ze.
"Huh?" she asked rhetorically in a nasal voice, as if curious.
The young man in front of her, she could tell at a glance that it was the appearance of the disguised queen. In fact, he is just a twelve-year-old child.
In this way, even if she is looked at, she doesn't care.
"Take the red leopard and follow the raccoon dog, you are a mountain ghost. Bai Ze said.
"Kyushu Strange Spirits" records that mountain ghosts, mountain spirits, good at singing and dancing, riding red leopards and following the raccoon dogs, gentle temperament, mostly living in the mountains.
"You're funny. The mountain ghost came out of the water and asked, "Did he let you come?"
"Ah, he?" Bai Ze was confused, "Who is he? I came here to find some earth spirit roots, is there something wrong with the mountain ghost sister?"
"Isn't it?" The mountain ghost looked indescribably sad, as if it was a flower in the fog, stepping on the water step by step, and with a single move, the broken sword on Bai Ze's waist suddenly came out of its sheath and flew into her hand.
"This sword I picked up in a nameless cave. Bai Ze looked at the mountain ghost as if he was interested in the broken sword and said.
"The broken sword has no edge, how to hide the edge?" The mountain ghost stroked the rusty sword body of the broken sword, and with a shock, Haoran's spiritual power was a thorough turquoise color, injected into the hidden edge.
"Buzz——
Abnormal protrusions.
I saw that the Zangfeng Sword suddenly emitted a dazzling halo, and the rust on the sword that Bai Ze couldn't wipe off before was actually falling off little by little!
The river was lit up by the green aura, and the red leopard on the opposite bank raised its head vigilantly, staring at the shadow of the mountain ghost, and its ears moved.
"This ......" Bai Ze was dumbfounded.
The mountain ghost Bai Shengsheng's arms were rendered by Zang Feng as if they were beautiful jade, and the soft side face was serious and melancholy, which was heartwarming.
"It's better to change the name and call it Wufeng. The mountain ghost wiped his hand, and he wiped off the sword inscription of Zangfeng, and the word "Zangfeng" was forcibly changed to "Wufeng" in an instant!
This woman, cultivation is probably at least the Transcendent Supreme Realm.
In this Dushan, there is indeed Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon! The legendary Dushan King, the Snow Winged Wolf King, what should be the strength?
The rust on the bladeless sword's body was all peeled off, and under the moonlight, the Yiren were independent, holding the sword in their hands, and the cold light swallowed it.
"Give you back. The mountain ghost only looked at it for a moment, and with a bare hand, the bladeless sword flew into Bai Ze's waist without a mistake, and the scabbard made of bamboo tubes was used.
"Sister Mountain Ghost, you are so powerful!" Bai Ze admired from the bottom of his heart, pulled out the bladeless sword at his waist, the rust faded, and the body of the broken sword was like autumn water, and the cold light was shining.
Judging from the spiritual power injected into the mountain ghost and the radiant bladeless sword, this broken sword is at least a Xuan-level high-grade spiritual weapon!
If it is not broken, I am afraid that it is a ground-level spiritual weapon, and it may not be impossible. After all, this is the personal sword of the half-step Sword Immortal King.
"When you're my age, so will you. The mountain ghost beckoned softly, and the two spirit beasts of the red leopard and the civet swam lazily from the other side of the river.
"Sister Mountain Ghost, how old are you?" Bai Ze blurted out, and then he thought that it was very impolite to ask the woman's age directly, and hurriedly changed his words: "It's okay if you don't want to tell me!"
The mountain ghost glanced at Bai Ze, tilted his head, seemed to be thinking seriously, lightly opened his red lips, and said, "About, more than three hundred years old." ”
"Huh?" Bai Ze was a little incredulous, "but it seems that you are only a little older than me." ”
The mountain ghost chuckled, this was the time Bai Ze saw her laughing, and he was fascinated, "Then you want to think clearly, do you call me sister, or grandma?"
"Of course it's called sister!" Bai Ze blurted out without thinking.
The mountain ghost sat on the red leopard who crossed the river, held the tattooed civet in his arms, walked unhurriedly towards Hengshan, and asked, "You say, are you here to find the earth spirit root?"
"That's right. Bai Ze followed, "But I haven't found one after looking for an afternoon." ”
"If you're willing to stay with me for a few days and tell me about the world beyond Dushan, I can consider sending you some Earth Spirit Roots. The mountain ghost said, sighing leisurely, "I have ...... For a hundred years, I haven't walked out of Dushan. I've almost forgotten what the outside world is like. ”
"Then why don't you go out and have a look?" Bai Ze asked her curiously.
The ...... replied to him, but there was only silence.
Starlight cruises in the boundless Milky Way, the vast Dushan, and the riverbank lit up by lantern plants, and the two move forward slowly.
The mountain ghost is barefoot, feet are not stained with dust, sitting on the red leopard, and the silhouette is like a sculpture in the Qiong Pavilion of the fairy mountain.
After a long time, when Bai Ze almost thought that the mountain ghost was angry, she finally spoke, but she changed the topic and asked, "Are you a sword cultivator?"
"Hmm. Bai Ze nodded, "The master said that there are two kinds of sword cultivation, one is called the imperial sword, and the other is called the qi sword. I practice the second type, the Qi Sword. ”
"Your master is a master. The mountain ghost said, unable to see the emotions clearly, "Then how is your Qi Sword cultivation?"
"Cultivation has not reached the other side, and the true qi cannot be released, and it cannot be cultivated with the qi sword. Bai Ze scratched his head with some embarrassment.
"Huh?" the mountain ghost asked him, "Who told you that if you can't cultivate to the other side, you can't cultivate your true qi if you can't release it?"
"Isn't it?" Bai Zeqi said.
"Aren't you too biased in your understanding of the Qi Sword?" the mountain ghost explained, "Could it be that the sword qi has to be emitted from the sword man's body? Or is it that the true qi must be a necessity when the sword qi is cut out?"
Bai Ze suddenly realized, isn't this kind of rhetoric of the mountain ghost exactly the hand that Xie Xuan taught him to ask for a sword?!
The sword qi borrowed from heaven and earth does not need to be transformed into a sword by the true qi in the body!
"Looks like you understand?" asked the mountain ghost.
"Understood!" Bai Ze nodded.
"I still have the understanding. The mountain ghost was surprised by Bai Ze's comprehension ability, and said, "In this way, if you want, I can guide you." But in exchange, during the time you are traveling with me, you need to pack my three meals. ”
"Ahh
"The rabbit was well roasted. The mountain ghost commented, touching the soft fur on the neck of the red leopard, so comfortable that it half-squinted its eyes and wagged its thick tail around.
Bai Ze remembered that when he roasted the rabbit, the mountain ghost had already gone down the mountain to bathe in the river bay. In this way, he can still know what is happening in Hengshan, isn't it that every grass and tree, every flower and stone in the mountain is her eyes?
In this way, Bai Ze, the eldest disciple of the Sword Emperor of Kyushu, became the little follower of the mountain ghost.
It's just that Bai Ze didn't expect that the Hengshan mountain system in the Dushan Mountains is warm in winter and cool in summer, and there is such a treasure land that is like spring all year round.
The mountain ghost led him into her abode, where there was literal moonlight on the lotus pond. The eyes are full of Yao grass actually blooming, the breeze passes through, the fine willows are thousands of rows, and the thatched huts and grass pavilions fall between the valleys, which is beautiful and picturesque.
There is a lotus pond, and the lotus flowers bloom forever. The eyes are verdant, the hibiscus comes out of the water, and the natural carvings are decorated.
"Lovely place. Bai Ze admired.
The mountain ghost patted the red leopard's head, and the spirit beast snorted comfortably twice and walked away alone.
The mountain ghost stepped on the moonlight, his feet were not stained with dust, and he hugged the raccoon dog and floated on the wooden bridge where the lotus pond twisted and recovered.
Bai Ze followed behind, and the fragrance of the lotus pond made people's hearts ripple. The deeper and deeper, the lotus leaves gradually submerged the figures of the two, and the moonlight sprinkled to the world, outlining the dusty shadow like a fairy in the Moon Palace.
There is a water pavilion in the center of the lotus pond, two bamboo chairs, the table is placed with nectar elixir, the yao flower is a bowl, the lotus leaf is the table, and the surrounding is dotted with hazy lantern plants, floating like a fairyland.
"You may be seated. The mountain ghost sat down with the raccoon in his arms, poured the elixir dew in the jade pot into the Yao bowl, and took a sip, his eyebrows and eyes were picturesque.
"Sister Mountain Ghost eats and drinks dew, doesn't she eat the fireworks of the world?" Bai Ze asked.
"If you don't eat the fireworks of the world, how can you care so much about the rabbit you roast?" the mountain ghost chuckled, better than the moonlight in the pond.
Bai Ze was stunned, picked up the Yao bowl, and also drank a sip of the elixir jade dew in the jade pot, the color was moist, and the taste was indescribably clear and sweet.
"It's delicious!" Bai Ze sighed, "It's much better than my master's green ant wine!"
"Can't you see, you're not very old, but you also drink?" The mountain ghost waved his hand, and a clay altar appeared on the lotus leaf table out of thin air, and before it was opened, Bai Ze had already smelled a strong aroma of wine.
"Sister also drinks?" Bai Ze felt that he had refreshed his cognition of mountain ghosts again, shouldn't fairies all eat and drink dew, not eat the fireworks of the world, and wait for those immortals who are also ice and jade to marry her?
"There is a group of monkeys in the back mountain, who have grown up over the years, and have found this method of making wine, but the wine they make is different from yours, and the materials they use to make wine are fruits such as peaches, plums, and apricots. The mountain ghost poured a glass of wine for Bai Ze, "These monkeys often bring me wine, and I have named this wine, it is called Monkey Wine." Would you like to try it?"
"Monkey wine?" Bai Ze sighed that Kyushu was so big, there were no surprises, and he was curious at the moment, so he drank all the monkey wine in the bowl.
The wine enters the throat, not as stimulating as green ants, warm and fragrant, with a faint fruity flavor, fragrant but not strong, and has an excellent taste.
"It's delicious, have another drink!" Bai Ze rose, and the mountain ghost had not been in contact with the world for many years, so he didn't stop it at the moment, poured another glass, and drank it with Bai Ze.
"This monkey wine is sweet at first, but the stamina is great. The mountain ghost reminded, "You have to be careful, don't get drunk here and plant yourself in the lotus pond, I won't catch you." ”
"If you get drunk and plant in the lotus pond, then I will go into the water to catch a few big fish for the mountain ghost sister and roast them for the sake of wine, haha!" Bai Ze drank another glass.
Between pushing the cup and changing the lamp, the two talked and laughed. Bai Ze told the mountain ghost all the interesting experiences and stories he and Xie Xuan had when they traveled to the northern realm, which made the mountain ghost often chuckle.
It's just that the smile is always less than the bottom of the eye, and there is a layer of sadness that Bai Ze can't understand.
Bai Ze was drunk. Very drunk. He had to go into the water to catch the moon, but he was caught by the mountain ghost, and he used a method of fixing himself on a bamboo chair.
"Chen Yuanfang, you and my brother are bound to reach the peak of Kyushu!" Bai Ze began to talk nonsense, shouting loudly, "I will be a sword immortal in the future, you will be a sword saint! You and I will see the world of Kyushu......"
