Chapter 023: White Deer Ridge
Li Maicheng and their Han envoys walked in the mountains and forests, climbing over mountains and wading through rivers. Finally, when I came to Bailuling, I saw a pavilion in the mountain.
Li Maicheng and the others were also tired of walking, so he said to Master Zhang Qian: "Master, everyone is also very tired from walking, I'll go to the front to find something to eat." ”
Zhang Qian's envoy said: "Okay, by the way, let Su Chengxuan go with you, let him be familiar with it." ”
Li Maicheng said: "Okay, let's go now, you have to be more careful here." ”
Then Li Maicheng and Su Chengxuan flew away, they flew to the Bailu Ridge, saw the pavilion in the mountains was smoking, flew over, came to the pavilion, only to see the pavilion with the words Bailu Ling written in it, and there were several beautiful women cooking food in it.
Li Maicheng entered the door and said: "Female donor, in Xia Li Maicheng, we are the envoy of the Han Dynasty to the Western Regions, passing by here, can you give us some food, I have silver taels." ”
One of the beautiful women said, "Okay, just the two of you?"
Li Maicheng said: "There are many people in our mission, more than 20 people. ”
When the woman heard this, she said, "There are so many people, I'm afraid we will have to collect more of your silver." ”
Li Maicheng said, "Okay, then I'll go and call my brothers to come over." You're waiting here. ”
Then Li Maicheng flew away, and Su Chengxuan was waiting in this pavilion, and another woman saw that Su Chengxuan was so handsome and chic, and she also had horns on her head, and said: "Brother, what is your name, little girl Xianglan." ”
Su Chengxuan said: "In Xia Su Chengxuan, it's a pleasure to meet you." ”
Xianglan said: "The other four women are my sisters, they are Xiang Tao, Xiang Ling, Xiang Qian, and Xiang Ye. ”
Su Chengxuan then greeted the other women: "Hello sisters, I am Su Chengxuan, we are going to the Han Mission to the Western Regions, passing by here, looking for something to eat, please take care of it." ”
Xiang Ling said: "Little brother, you are just like this family, you must be very tired all the way west." ”
Su Cheng said: "I'm not tired, I'm not tired, it's just that I'll encounter some demons and monsters along the way, and it's hard to deal with." ”
As they were talking, Li Maicheng had already come over with the people of the mission.
Xianglan went out to greet her and said, "Maicheng, you brought so many people over, I'm afraid we have to prepare some more food." ”
Li Maicheng said: "Then I'm sorry, I'm sorry to bother you, then I and a few senior brothers and I will go to the river to catch a few more fish." ”
Xianglan said, "Okay, I'll let Xiangtao take you there." ”
Then Xiang Tao took Li Maicheng, Zhou Xiaotian, and the giant ape monster to catch fish, and they came to the Baixun River at the bottom of the mountain, only to see Xiang Tao take out the fishing net, and then throw it into the water, and then pull it up violently, and suddenly pull up a lot of fish, shrimp and crabs.
When Li Maicheng saw this, he also hurried to help pull the fishing nets, pull those fish and shrimp ashore, and then put the fish and shrimp into the basin, and suddenly the basin was filled with a large number of fish and shrimp.
Xiangtao threw the net a few times and netted some fish and shrimp, it should be almost, they took the fish and shrimp in a basin to the White Deer Pavilion, and came to the White Deer Pavilion, Zhang Qianhan made them eat fruits, Xianglan saw that they were back from the net, and picked up the fish and shrimp and began to cook.
Li Maicheng asked Bai Ruoxue to also help with the cooking.
While Li Maicheng was talking to Xiangling, he asked, "Xiangling, are you five girls here in Bailuling?
Xiangling said: "I'm used to it, the folk customs here are still very simple, and there are no bad people in the mountains, at most, jackals, tigers and leopards often haunt them." ”
Li Maicheng said casually: "You five women can get married. ”
Xiangling said: "Not yet, there are few people here, and none of our five women are married." ”
Li Maicheng thought for a while and said: "It just so happens that I still have a few junior brothers, and none of them have married wives, like the powerful Zhou Xiaotian, the handsome and dashing Su Chengxuan, the intimate and down-to-earth Zhou Fangyu, and Song Xun'er who is in the wind in Yushu." ”
Xiangling looked at the juniors introduced by Li Maicheng, and then said: "Your juniors and disciples are all talents, but I'm afraid that it will be inconvenient for you to travel all the way west with our sisters." ”
Li Maicheng said: "It's not inconvenient, Bai Ruoxue who went to help is my wife, we take care of each other all the way, it's good." ”
Xiangling heard this and said, "Okay, when we have dinner, I'll ask my sisters if they're willing." ”
They chatted for a while, and the meal was ready, only to see that the dishes on the table were so rich, including braised fish, spicy shrimp, stir-fried meat with mushrooms, tomatoes and eggs, hairy crabs, stewed chicken with fungus, and stewed pork ribs with carrots. They ate happily, the soldiers of the mission devoured it, and they also ate steamed buns and rice while eating hearty dishes.
Xiangling said while eating: "Xiangye, Xianglan, Xiangtao, Xiangqian, Brother Maicheng said that he was willing to introduce Ruyi Langjun to us, do you have this plan." ”
Xianglan's face turned red when he heard this, he glanced at Su Cheng a few times, and then said hesitantly: "Sister Xiangling, you are our eldest sister, and we will listen to you for our marriage." ”
Xiangqian also said: "Listen to my sister." Peach and Fragrance also nodded.
Xiangling heard this and said: "Okay, then I will decide the marriage matter for you, I plan to introduce you to the people of the mission here, as long as you like it inside, just point it to me." Except for Li Maicheng, he has already married a wife, which is Bai Ruoxue. ”
When Xianglan heard this, her face turned even redder, and she said embarrassedly: "Okay, I've always listened to my sister." ”
Later, Xianglan looked at all the soldiers of the mission and chose Su Chengxuan, Xiangtao chose Zhou Xiaotian, Xiangye chose Song Xun'er, and Xiangqian chose Zhou Fangyu.
After they finished choosing, Xiangling chose Zhang Qian.
After Li Maicheng saw that they had finished choosing, he then said to the master and junior disciples: "Master, junior disciples, are you satisfied, do you have anything to say?" ”
Zhang Qian said: "Senior brother Maicheng, don't be naughty, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty sent us to the Western Regions, with Lian Shibi, who can live forever, and encountered so many demons and monsters along the way, but we are full of dangers all the way, and now I just want to go west wholeheartedly, and don't think about marriage." ”
Li Maicheng heard this and said: "Master, the apprentice is also thinking about you, finding you a daughter-in-law, and finding us a teacher's wife, also so that you can solve the lifelong affairs as soon as possible." ”
Zhang Qian's envoy said: "Forget it." ”
Xiangling heard this and said with a dull face: "Forget it, the little woman feels that she is not worthy of Zhang Qian's envoy." Don't bother your Master. ”
Zhou Xiaotian said: "Sister Xiangling, don't be angry, my master is a little unfeminine." But for the peach, I'm very willing. She seems gentle and quiet, and she is hardworking, which I think is very good. ”
When Xiang Tao heard this, she was very happy and said, "Thank you, Brother Xiaotian." You are brave and powerful, and you are a hero in my heart. ”
Zhou Xiaotian said: "Thank you sister for the compliment." ”
Li Maicheng heard this and said: "Then it can be regarded as a pair now, then Zhou Fangyu, it's your turn, are you willing?"
Zhou Fangyu said: "Miss Xiangqian, I'm sorry, I've married a wife before, my name is Cui'er, and I'm actually a koi demon, I don't know if you mind, I want to be honest with you, I don't want to hide these things." Then Zhou Fangyu transformed into a koi-like head.
The giant ape monster saw that the koi fish had transformed, and it also transformed into the head and body of the giant ape.
Xiangqian saw Zhou Fangyu turn into a koi monster and said, "Sister Xiangling, they are monsters, I don't want to." ”
When Xiangling heard this, she shouted, "Sisters, do it quickly." ”
Then a black demon wind blew in, and then swept Zhang Qian's envoy and Lian Shibi away.
Seeing this, Li Maicheng shouted: "They are monsters, chase after them." ”
Then Li Maicheng, Zhou Xiaotian, Koi Monster, and Su Chengxuan flew out to chase them, hovering in the mountains, but those female monsters ran too fast, and they disappeared as soon as they slipped through the smoke.
Li Maicheng had no choice but to stop on the mountainside, he knocked on the mountain soil with the Zhuying Sword, and suddenly a cloud of white smoke came out of the soil, and then a mountain god came out.
The mountain god then said, "Donor, what do you have to ask?"
Li Maicheng said: "Mountain God, what kind of monsters are there in this Bailu Ridge, my master was captured by monsters. ”
The mountain god said: "There are monsters, and they are a few white deer spirits, who have been doing evil in this area, and have caught a lot of passing men sucking blood. ”
Li Maicheng heard this and said, "Then those white deer goblins' lair is there." ”
The mountain god pointed to a hole in the cliff at the top of the mountain, and said, "There they are, they are very powerful." ”
Li Maicheng said, "Thank you to the mountain god." ”
Then the mountain god turned into a wisp of white smoke and disappeared.
Li Maicheng looked at the hole in the cliff and shouted to Zhou Xiaotian: "Senior brothers, go, fly up the cliff with me, catch those white deer demons, and save the master." ”
Then they flew up the cliff, and then stopped at the mouth of the cave, and the koi monster smashed the stone door at the entrance of the cave with a sledgehammer, and a rumbling sound resounded through the deer spirit cave.
The banshees were so frightened that they didn't dare to come out, hiding in the cave, and Li Maicheng shouted: "Goblin, come out quickly, goblin, come out quickly." ”
The white deer goblin was too annoyed to hear the shout, and then Xiangling and Xiangqian came out.
One of them was holding a big knife and the other was holding a long sword, and seeing Li Maicheng's four senior brothers at the entrance of the cave, Xiang Ling said casually: "Li Maicheng, if you want to hand over your master, you can, unless he marries me, otherwise you will blame me for being unkind." ”
Li Maicheng said: "You Bailu Spirits should surrender and hand over my master obediently, otherwise you will be beaten to the ground." ”
Xiangling heard this and said, "Li Maicheng, you are too confident. After speaking, Xiangling took out a gourd from her clothes and shouted to collect it, Li Maicheng and Su Chengxuan were taken away by the gourd, and then Xiangling and Xiangtao closed the stone door and entered the cave.
