"Brother Ning Yue, are you sure it's okay?"

At the exit of Wing Hunt Zong Mountain Village, Shu Quan looked Ning Yue up and down, with a look of disbelief. Killing the remnant soul of the Phantom Emperor Charm Eagle was only yesterday. Early this morning, Ning Yue proposed that he could go on the road to Qingque Mountain.

"You've repeated the same question nine times since the morning, aren't you tired? If I had to experience it for myself, I'd love to. ”

After saying that, Ning Yue smiled playfully, and his right hand had already grasped the hilt of the Dark Xuan Ancient Sword.

In an instant, Shu Quan took three steps back, shook his head again and again, and said, "Forget it, I don't dare." Even the hidden danger beasts that have always been unknown to the Wing Hunting Sect are no match for you, how dare I give it a try......"

"Then stop repeating the boring questions and hit the road. If it drags on any longer, it's time for dinner. ”

Five fingers let go of the hilt of the sword, Ning Yue turned around and took a step, and at the same time, nodded towards Shu Kuo.

Shu Kuo smiled back and said, "Let's go." ”

The biggest hidden danger of the Wing Hunt Sect was solved, and he was also temporarily leisurely, so he didn't need to continue to sit down, so he simply chose to go on the road together. It's been a long time, and he hasn't gone down the mountain, just because he's worried that one day, the fierce spirit of the Phantom Emperor Charm Eagle will break the seal and threaten the sect. Now, I can finally rest assured.

The road to Qingque Mountain naturally does not need to rely on walking, and the housekeeping skills of the Wing Hunting Sect are two, hunting and taming animals. The domesticated mounts are not just the common horses with the blood of demonic beasts, but wolves, the strong demonic beasts called mountain wolves, which look fierce and majestic, but in front of Shu Kuo, they are as docile as dogs.

In addition to Ning Yue and Shu Kuo, the people who set off naturally included Shu Quan and Shu Ti, two brothers and sisters, as well as an elder of the Wing Hunt Sect, named Lin Fang. Next, there were the two elite disciples who entered the underground palace together that day, Qiao Dong and Wei Zhi.

As Shu Kuo drank, the seven mountain wolves began to gallop at the same time, the speed was extremely fast, and the fierce wind on both sides of the body was howling. Although it is a rugged mountain road, these well-trained monsters have a steady pace, and the swaying on them is very slight, so there is no need to worry about falling off if you are not careful.

"I said, the Wing Hunting Sect actually has such a good mount, why didn't you have it when I first saw you?"

Ning Yue was very satisfied with such a substitute mount, turned his head and smiled, and looked at Shu Quan on the side.

Shu Quan smiled embarrassedly and replied: "Last time, Titi and I ran out secretly, in order not to be discovered, we naturally had to reduce the movement when we left as much as possible, where did we dare to use these mountain wolves." In the Wing Hunt Sect, disciples are not qualified to mobilize mountain wolves, at least they must be elders. ”

"I see. ”

The mountain wolf is very fast, and knows the way, the next day at dusk, has arrived at the outskirts of a small town, according to Ning Yue's estimate, if he comes on foot, it will be a day and a half at night at the earliest.

When he saw the town, Shu Kuo stopped all the mountain wolves, then jumped to the ground and patted his mount on the head.

"It is the mountain post, as its name suggests, the last town before the mountain range, and one of the closest towns to the border of Ranwu Prefecture on the border of all nations. Tonight, let's spend the night here. Starting tomorrow, we will have to hike into the mountains. ”

"Huh, don't use these mountain wolves anymore?"

Ning Yue was stunned, and he was still riding on the mountain wolf, and the rest of the people all landed.

In this regard, Shu Quan shrugged his shoulders and sighed: "The mountain wolves have a huge amount of food, and we can't guarantee their food in the future, so we can only put them back and let them find the Wing Hunt Sect by themselves." In the mountains ahead, there are all kinds of terrifying monsters, and it is not easy for mountain wolves to hunt for food. Moreover, due to the instinctive nature of the monsters, they did not dare to approach that kind of area at will. ”

"Unexpectedly, there is such a reason. I thought that this way to Qingque Mountain would be much easier. ”

Helpless, Ning Yue also jumped off the mountain wolf, patted the head of the mount, and the back was well-behaved, leaning down and shaking his head slightly, as if he enjoyed Ning Yue's touch, very docile.

After letting go of the mountain wolf, a group of seven people stepped into the mountain post, for such a group of people to arrive, the people in the town only glanced at it, and did not look at it again, obviously it has long been commonplace.

"There is a good teahouse in front, there is still a little time before dinner, let's go and drink a few pots first, how about it? Although it is always full on weekdays, but fortunately, I have some friendship with the shopkeeper, and it should be okay to cut in line." ”

Shu Kuo smiled and raised his hand to point ahead.

Looking in that direction, Ning Yue's face suddenly twitched slightly, and he said with a smile: "Did Sect Master Shu remember the wrong location, I don't think it is overcrowded, no matter how you look at it, that family is overcrowded......

As far as the eye fell, there were two teahouses facing each other, and one of them had lined up to the street outside the door. However, the other one, the one Shu Kuo was referring to, was crowded with visitors.

"Strange, how can this be, could it be that the shopkeeper did something wrong and smashed the signboard by himself?"

In confusion, Shu Kuo still led everyone to the teahouse with no guests, and after greeting him, he hurriedly rushed out of a shopkeeper from behind the counter, recognized him for the first time, and hurriedly bowed and saluted.

"Sect Master Shu, it's been a long time, is it still the same?"

"Well, the same old way. By the way, let your shopkeeper come here. ”

"Come on, wait a minute. ”

While waiting, Ning Yue looked at the teahouse opposite, and noticed it carefully, and found that most of the guests who were waiting were all in good spirits, maybe like them, they all came because of the holy spring of Qingque Mountain, and they rested in front of this mountain for a while.

"It's really strange, what kind of tea can make so many people from the sect so eager to do so?"

Unexpectedly, a voice replied to his muttering.

"I've tasted the new tea on the other side, and it's really fragrant and delicious, but it's not as good as my family. It's just that it is said that after a young master of the sect drank it, he succeeded in cultivating that night. According to him, it was the tea that helped him break through the last barrier. Not only that, several disciples from the sect also had similar words, and after drinking tea, they felt that the operation of the Xuan Force had grown subtly. It was also the reappearance of the legend of the sacred spring of Qingque Mountain, and most of the people who came here were warriors, so they were naturally attracted to the past. ”

It was the shopkeeper of this teahouse who answered, standing next to Shu Kuo.

Not to mention that Ning Yue was surprised, even Shu Kuo was also surprised, and said: "No, if you take it directly, you can help a martial artist break through and increase his cultivation, there are basically only some rare elixirs, that kind of heaven and earth spirit essence can not be found, how can it be used in ordinary teahouses to entertain guests to make tea? ”

The shopkeeper sighed, "Who says it's not." At first, many people thought it was just a rumor spread by the teahouse in order to attract business. It's just that there are a lot of people who have the mentality of trying it out, and it turns out that many people really say that it is not a lie, so more and more people go. So much so that I have no business here for the past few days. ”

"In the past few days, the shopkeeper means that the tea on the other side has only changed in the past few days?"

Ning Yue muttered, and the surprise in his heart was even greater.

The shopkeeper replied, "Yes, just for a few days." To say weird, there is another thing these days, that is, the mountain spring water taken not far away is not quite right, the taste is not quite right, and people who drink too much will have red eyes. You have to throw some charcoal and soak it overnight before you can use it the next day, and you need to cook some ordinary odorless herbs to remove turbidity. Due to the proximity to the mountains, there will be turbidity in some years, and everyone will use such a water purification method, but it has not been used for many years, and it is not as serious as this time. ”

"Is there such a thing? Do you have any newly taken mountain spring water? Pour a bowl and let me see. ”

Shu Ti, who had been silent, suddenly spoke, and suddenly, Shu Kuo and Shu Quan both nodded. Shu Ti is proficient in pharmacology, and if she tries it, she should be able to detect any clues.

Soon, a bowl of mountain spring water that looked very ordinary was served, and it was crystal clear and nothing unusual.

Shu Ti picked up the bowl and sniffed, shook his head, then took out a porcelain bottle from his waist, poured a little medicinal powder into the water, and slowly shook the bowl. After a while, a wisp of green smoke quietly rose up, and a hint of brownish-red faintly flashed above the rippling mountain spring water.

"Sure enough, there's something weird in the water. It seems that some kind of medicine is dissolved in it, and with the elixir I am currently carrying, I am afraid I can't try it specifically. It's best not to drink the spring water directly. ”

"So, is it possible that the strangeness of the tea on the opposite side is related to the change of this mountain spring water?" Ning Yue suddenly asked.

Shaking his head, Shu Ti replied, "I can't say. Well, did you think of something?"

With a hint of solemnity in his eyes, Ning Yue said in a deep voice: "The holy spring of Qingque Mountain has reappeared, and the mountain spring water in the nearby mountains has also undergone strange changes, and after drinking it, it can make people cultivate and grow." Don't you think there's some kind of connection between the three?"

"That's really possible. Shu Kuo nodded, and then looked at the teahouse opposite.

"We may not be able to get a direct answer, but anyway, I'm afraid we're going to have to pay a visit to the other side. ”

Nearly two hours later, Ning Yue finally sat down in the seat of the teahouse opposite. It's not that he's been waiting, but Shu Quan volunteered to stay in line, and the rest of the people waited for dinner first, settled down and stayed, and even bathed and changed clothes, and then came over to line up together. It wasn't until near the end of the day that I was finally able to get in.

Soon, the tea was served, and when the light green tea was poured into the cup, a faint fragrance came to the nose, refreshing the heart.

Smelling the fragrance, Ning Yue opened the lid of the tea and took a look, but saw that in addition to the tea leaves, there were some crushed petals floating, several colors, but they were unknown.

"This kind of technique, shouldn't it be ......?"

In confusion, he took a sip, and his expression suddenly changed.

"Little Er, can you ask the master who made your tea to come out and talk about it?"

"Guest, this is not going to work. There are so many people here every day that people want to see, but none of them can see them. It's not that we deliberately conceal it, but the tea maker himself said that he didn't see anyone - hey, guest officer, no matter how much you tip me, it's useless, I won't see it. ”

Ning Yue shook his hand and slapped an object on the hand of the shopkeeper who was full of gold coins, and his voice became a little heavier.

"These tips are just for you to show the object to the tea maker, that's all. That way, you won't break the rules, right?"

The heavy feeling pressed on the palm of his hand, and the shopkeeper's eyes almost narrowed into a slit, and he nodded again and again: "This should be no problem." I can only show him one look, though......"

"Go!"

Looking at the back of the shopkeeper leaving, Shu Quan was puzzled: "Brother Ning Yue, what you brought him, how can I look like a chess piece?"

"That's right, a chess piece of the Demon War Chess. But this one of mine is not ordinary. ”

Ning Yue took another sip of tea, and his smile was a little deep.

Soon, a rush of footsteps came, and a bumpy figure stopped not far away, and everyone could see that he was trembling slightly.

"Ning...... Lord Ning Yue, is it really you?"
