Chapter 292: Immortal Abode
The man who came to propose marriage not only had an extraordinary status, but also was handsome, powerful, and gentle in temperament, and I don't know how many hearts were tied to him.
I don't know what fate I cultivated in my life, but when he passed by her once, he fell in love with this woman who was no longer interested in feelings, and he did not hesitate to lower his status to propose to her.
In the face of the family interests posed by the elders, this woman knew that she had no right to resist marriage at all, so she acquiesced in this marriage.
Maybe this man can give her a new life, and after the two met several times, the man's gentleness and kindness made her heart, which had been closed for many years, begin to look forward to him.
Now the problem is that the letters left in the hands of her old lover have become a big obstacle to her marriage, in case the letters are picked up one day, not only will she have no face because she has such a relationship with a married man, but her family and fiancé will not be able to lose this face.
If this matter is revealed, at that time, even if his fiancé is unwilling to withdraw from the marriage, the elders of the man's family, who are not very satisfied with the marriage, will definitely not accept her as a daughter-in-law who does not abide by women's morals, and the marriage will definitely fall through, how can he explain to the family.
For the sake of the family's interests and reputation, she didn't dare to ask for the letter openly, the flowery man might have forgotten about himself and the letter a long time ago, if he reminded him, if he preached it one day, wouldn't he dig his own grave, and he couldn't get it back by his ability, and he wanted to find someone to help, but he couldn't find someone to trust.
She would never dare to tell the people in the clan, let alone those outsiders who were blushing and hoping that her marriage would not be successful.
Just as the wedding date was approaching day by day, she was about to marry away from home, like an ant in a hot pot, and finally one day, she accidentally discovered these three outsiders.
A pestle, a fairy-like woman, and a vermilion bird are a strange combination that I've never seen before. But she knew that all these wandering monsters were always more or less capable, otherwise how could they have come here alive? When she knew that they wanted to enter the mountains, she took the initiative to find them and proposed such a deal.
This kind of stealing of chickens and dogs is not easy for Ji Ao, and sure enough, within a few days, he deliberately made a big fuss with the mandrill, and then used the trick of diverting the tiger to let the Suzaku and the fairy go in and steal the letter, in fact, maybe the mandrill didn't notice that a letter was missing in the fire, and thought it was burned in the fire.
Things really went right, and both sides got what they wanted. It's just that after they made such a fuss, they couldn't stay in this place anymore.
Ji Ao laughed at the screams of Yan'er and teased it: "Little villain, when you are hungry, you will only scream, why don't you see how I get food?"
"It's not because of you, you don't let me get anything good to eat! It's not because of you! You! I haven't set you free yet. Yan'er jumped up and down Ji Ao's head, making a mess of his long, silky waist-length silver hair.
"Li Yao, do you still want to help Jin Ying......" As soon as Ji Ao's words fell, Li Yao had already reached out and grabbed Yan'er from his head.
"Li Yao, even you are towards Ji Ao, I want to go back and tell Hotaru that you two are bullying me together......"
In the roar of Yan'er, Ji Ao shook his long hair in a dashing manner and walked towards the field at the foot of the mountain.
"Sweet potato, sweet potato, fresh sweet potato...... Grilled and stewed, with animal meat as a condiment...... "......A very tall, handsome young man tied his silver hair into a ponytail and tossed up and down in the field, humming a strange song of his own compositing in his mouth, and in a short time, where he passed, there were many dug sweet potatoes.
"Yan'er, come, come, come, start a fire, you are responsible for roasting! Don't bake it uncooked, eat it all the way to stinky fart, hey, don't roast it, take the rest on the road as dry food." Ji Ao emerged from the ground and beckoned to Yan'er.
Yan'er glanced at him, don't look over his head and don't bother to take care of him, it spewed out a wave of fire and sprayed towards Ji Ao, Ji Ao had already prepared, and before it was burned, it retracted into the ground, and the surrounding crops suddenly burned.
"I've said it hundreds of times, I hate eating vegetables!" Yan'er shouted angrily, and gave Ji Ao a blank look.
"It's good to have something to eat, you still pick, you don't care about anything, I'm only tired of being alone, and I'm embarrassed to keep complaining there. Ji Ao jumped out of the ground and glared at Yan'er in anger.
Li Yao shook her head, put away the sweet potatoes on the ground without saying a word, and glanced at Ji Ao: "Who is helping you cook?" ”
"I don't eat vegetables! I don't eat vegetables! You abuse children. Flames flew over their heads, chirping and chattering.
"Thief, catch thief!" Suddenly a shrill voice came, "Oh my God, they stole and set fire to the crops!"
With his shout, many figures soon ran out from all directions, and Ji Ao grabbed Li Yao and ran away. Yan'er unwillingly put another fire, glanced at the people who were chasing him, and then followed Ji Ao and them with a cold snort, and when the pursuers arrived in the field, the three thieves had already fled.
Everyone jumped to their feet in anger and flew above the field as they cast spells to extinguish the fire.
They finally put out the fire, panting and squatting on the ground to rest, it is common for passers-by to get something to eat from the field, the owner of the field will not mind at all, but I have never seen such a shameless, the harvest that swept almost an acre of land does not count, and a few fires are set before leaving.
"It's that foreign Hanqi and Suzaku again! It's the ones who just burned the mandrill family!"
"Where did these bastards come from!
"Hey, don't run, hooligans, thieves, stop!"
"Don't let us see you again!
The owners kept scolding here, and of course it couldn't reach the ears of those thieves who stole sweet potatoes, because they had already escaped far away.
"Roasted sweet potatoes, lalala...... Roasted sweet potato ...... "I can't admit it, Yan'er's barbecue skills are absolutely first-class, even if its main purpose is to target Ji Ao, but it still roasts the sweet potatoes soft and sweet, which is very delicious."......
Ji Ao took one in each hand, ate as he walked, and continued to hum his ugly tune. Although Li Yao was reluctant to eat the "stolen goods" at first, since the owners "didn't" care, she no longer insisted on her principles so much, and she also gnawed on it and ate so happily.
Only Yan'er snorted and flew angrily, disdainfully glancing at the sweet potato: "Hmph, I'll say it again, I don't eat vegetables, I'm going back to tell Hotaru that you abuse me and don't give me food!"
"It's just right not to eat! There are few of them anyway, I'll save all of them, and you can eat more than the two of us combined!" Ji Ao didn't have the virtue of caring for minors at all, he kept smacking his mouth with a hot sweet potato in his mouth.
"Hmph, you think beautifully, I roasted the sweet potatoes, why don't I eat them! Bring them to me!" Yan'er flapped his wings angrily and snatched up the sweet potatoes in his hand.
They filled their stomachs in the fighting, and also walked to the foot of their destination, Lianshan Mountain.
Under the fierce gaze of several majestic mountain patrol soldiers, Ji Ao wiped the ash stains and melons on his hands a few times on the trees around him, and took out what the woman gave them, a small token, and shook it in front of the eyes of those soldiers patrolling the mountain.
The mountain patrol soldiers looked at the token, and then looked at Ji Ao and them, although they had many doubts about the appearance of this group, but they still took the token according to their duties and signaled that they could pass.
Ji Ao waved his hand, and Li Yao and Yan'er followed him swaggeringly over.
In the hand of the divine soldier behind him, the token turned into a fluorescent and disappeared instantly, only to hear the divine soldier muttering to himself: "It was sent by that family again." Really, what does the young master like about that family? If you look at this kind of friend in their family, you will know that they are people who can't get on the stage. ”
"That's right, I've seen that woman too, if you don't have a look, if you don't have the ability, I really don't know what the young master likes about her......"
"You dare to talk a lot about the master's affairs, and you will stand up for me during work hours. ”
"Yes......"
Li Yao washed her hands in the river water, dried her clothes, stood up and looked around. There are no trees on this mountain, and the craggy rocks that can be seen everywhere also block her vision, so that she has not found Ji Ao's figure who went out to explore the road for the time being.
Perched on the top of a rock, the flame fell asleep on its belly, and when it smelled the smell of the burnt food, it squirmed and woke up.
Li Yao walked towards the edge of the camp with her long skirt in her hand. She had been wearing her original clothes all the way: a white T-shirt, blue jeans and white hiking boots, but after coming to the territory of Lianshan, Ji Aobut asked her to change into the ancient clothes that people here often wear.
Li Yao was not used to wearing this kind of ankle-length skirt and thin cloth shoes, not to mention that there were all kinds of "gravel" stumbling under her feet, so she walked very embarrassed, kicking those stumbling blocks with her feet as she walked.
Some of the rubble rolling under her feet were as blue as a wash, some were white and crystalline, some were dazzling, and if you looked closely, you would find that they were actually precious stones such as jade and jade.
If you are in the human world, you can pick up any one of these stones and sell it in a jewelry store, and you will become a noble darling there.
But here, not only are the banks of the river covered with such stones, but they shine brightly in the barren mountains in the sunlight, and they are all things that can be seen everywhere, and there is no difference in status at all, just like ordinary stones.
When Li Yao returned to her makeshift pot stove with a few large pieces of jade, Yan'er had already flown down, and while picking meat in the pot with her mouth to eat, she asked, "Hasn't Han Yao come back yet?"
Li Yao shook her head, and looked in the direction where Ji Ao walked with a canopy in her hand.
After several months of trekking, they finally came to the boundary of the mountain, which was the westernmost mountain range of the mountain, and from here they had to pass through two large mountains whose names they did not know, and it seemed that it would be closer to go around from the east, but Ji Ao had always suggested taking this route.
Because the mountain in front of him is the dwelling place of the Kaoru Pond, the disposition of the god who dwells in that mountain is much more easy-going than that of the stern man of God.
This strange little team of Hanji, Hundred Flowers Fairy, and Vermilion Bird is also easier to pass through there.
However, no matter how good the temper of the gods here is, after all, this is still the abode of the gods, and it is already extremely disrespectful for low-level monsters to enter the dwelling place of the gods without permission, and if they accidentally anger the gods, even if they are the gods of the mountains, it is not a fun thing.
So they were as careful as they could, and as soon as they stepped into the range of the place, they stopped and tentatively camped here, and if the gods did not welcome them in, it would be better to be found at the border than to be found in the mountains.
After Ji Ao left Li Yao to cook and watch Yan'er, he went to the front alone to explore the way, originally saying that he would come back immediately after seeing the situation nearby, but now that the meal is ready, he still hasn't seen his figure.
"It can't be eaten by the gods, right?" Li Yao sat there with her cheeks held and muttered to herself, "But as a god, you won't eat such tasteless things......, right?"
After coming to the other world, they didn't know how many dangers they experienced along the way, but thanks to Ji Ao, a guide who had traveled through the ten continents, and Yan'er's passable strength, they finally arrived here without danger. But Li Yao knows that the most difficult journey has just begun.
Unlike the places she had walked before, the realm of the mountains was the abode of the gods, and she could no longer use the identity of a fairy to get close to the mountain gods here, nor could she let Yan'er disguise herself as a spirit beast of gods, demons, and immortals to intimidate, even Ji Ao's tricks were useless here.
What they would encounter here, what would happen, they were not prepared at all.
