Chapter 198: The Girl
Then, Xiao Yu'er took out the reason that had been made up a long time ago, the story of a lucky boy who stumbled upon the treasure, of course, this treasure was patronized by other immortal cultivators, but unfortunately a few gourds were not found, and it happened to be picked up by the lucky boy!
Looking at the flickering eyes of the dulcimer and Hang Lou, they also knew that the two of them didn't believe Xiao Yu'er's rhetoric at all. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
However, it doesn't matter whether you believe it or not, the important thing is to take this set of statements as facts.
"Since you found it, you can keep it, you don't have to take it home!" Hang Lou glanced at Zhen Jia and said with difficulty.
I really want to take it, but I have to set a good example for my son!
Xiao Yu'er didn't notice his father's reluctance at all, and joked, "Really, then I'll take it!" ”
Hang Lou nodded with difficulty, "Well, put it away!" ”
said that his eyes did not leave the mouth of the gourd, such a good armor may be seen this time in this life!
Lin Xi looked at Hang Lou's reluctant appearance, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but curl.
Yangqin glanced at Lin Xi, then at Hang Lou and Xiao Yu'er, and sighed, "You two! ”
Xiao Yu'er looked at the dulcimer and Hang Lou with a smile, "No need! These are for you and the rest of the Peach Blossom Garden, and we've left a lot of sight on us! ”
Hearing this, Hang Lou blushed a little and looked away, made a fist with his hand, and 'coughed', "That's good!" Since these are all given to us, then I will unceremoniously accept them for them! ”
Yangqin shook his head, "This is your son's filial piety to you, you can accept it!" By the way, Xiao Yu'er, did you come back to send the armor on purpose? ”
Xiao Yu'er nodded, and shook her head again, "There's one more thing!" ”
"Is Zhenshan Stone still there?"
Lin Xi raised his eyebrows, Xiao Yu'er is too direct!
Hang Lou and the dulcimer had obviously already counted Xiao Yu'er's routine, Hang Lou nodded and looked at him suspiciously, "Of course!" Otherwise, the guarding demon beasts would have sounded the alarm a long time ago! Why did you suddenly ask about this? ”
After speaking, he glanced at Lin Xi, they wouldn't have the idea of Zhenshan Stone, right?
"That's the case—" Hang Lou obviously misunderstood, and Lin Xi had to explain out loud, "We found that many trees and grasses on the mountain, including the land, have a tendency to dry up, and the scope is very wide, so we wonder if there is something wrong with the Zhenshan rocks, otherwise, there should be no other possibility to cause this effect, right?" ”
Hang Lou and Yangqin glanced at each other, what she said made sense!
However, the geographical location of Peach Blossom Land is special, and there are many rivers here, so at present, there is not much change.
"Wait now, I'll see for myself!" Hang Lou got up and said to the two.
It's better to be cautious about Zhenshan stone.
Lin Xi and Xiao Yu'er nodded, they were just waiting for this sentence.
Hang Lou no longer hesitated, and turned into his true body when he went out, and by the light, he showed the victory of a cyan feather, which was twice the size of a small fish.

A quarter of an hour later, Hang Lou was at the core of the mountain.
Today, it was the turn of the lion beast to guard the mountain rocks of the town, and at this time, a red-haired lion beast with a length of one zhang and a width of three feet was lying in front of the mountain, and two lantern-like eyes were scanning back and forth in the morning and night.
Feeling the air flow coming from the air, the body immediately stood up and tensed tightly, the body was raised high back, a large cloud of hot air came out of the one-foot-wide mouth, and two rows of sharp teeth also showed out, as long as there was any abnormality in the visitor, it could pounce on it at any time and tear it to pieces!
Soon, a huge black shadow descended from the sky.
Before the lion beast could let out a warning roar, a coercion rushed to its face, crushing the lion beast into obedience.
Then a tall young man with a handsome face appeared in front of the lion beast, "Is Zhenshan Stone okay?" The visitor asked straight to the point.
The lion beast let out a low roar, and the visitor nodded in satisfaction, "Well, though, I'll take a look." I heard that many places have shown signs of drying up and decay recently, but I hope it doesn't have anything to do with Zhenshan Rock. ”
The lion let out a low roar again, looking at the man with wide, lantern-like eyes, then nodded, and turned to lead the way.
Rounding round and turning, it was not long before a man and a beast had reached a stone platform on the mountainside, opposite which was a towering cliff, and between them there was a slit a foot wide, which became smaller and smaller at the bottom, and finally merged with the cliff.
The visitor walked to the edge of the platform and leaned down to look under the slit, where there was darkness except for one place, and there was a faint light in the middle of the slit. Through the bright light, it is clear that what is shining underneath is a stone with a sharp top and a wide mountain at the bottom.
He felt it carefully, it was indeed the breath of the Zhenshan stone, and then picked up a stone from under his feet and threw it at the light below, and the stone stopped before it could get close to the light, as if it had encountered a transparent obstacle. Then, suddenly, the stone cracked into a handful of stone dust, and the obstruction disappeared, and the stone dust fell into the depths of the slit without support.
He still stood still, his eyes fixed on the light, his eyebrows tightly furled, not knowing what he was thinking.
Seeing that the man did not move, the lion beast also walked to the edge of the platform and looked down, and then let out a triumphant roar.
The visitor chuckled and touched the lion's head, "Let's go!" Zhenshan Stone is very safe! You're going to have to keep it! ”
The lion beast let out a pleasant roar, and then lay down in front of the man, startled, and then shook his head, "Get up!" I'll go on my own! ”
The lion beast nodded its head imperceptibly, and took the lead in front of it.
Different from the previous twists and turns, this time the path was all straight and straight, and in less than ten breaths, a man and a beast walked out of the mountain and returned to the previous flat land.
Without too much communication, the person who came drew a real body jumped into the air, and flew four or five feet away in the blink of an eye.
*********
An hour later, Lin Xi and Xiao Yu'er entered the Phoenix Wood Forest, took off the invisibility cloak, turned to the left, and walked seven or eight feet, and saw everyone cultivating under the tree, and unconsciously lightened their steps.
The two of them sat quietly cross-legged under the tree not far away, feeling the aura circulating in the air, and they were inhaled into the meridians after a while.
Half an hour later, everyone opened their eyes one after another, and Lin Xi and Xiao Yu'er felt the fluctuations of the aura in the air, and they also withdrew from cultivation.
"You're back, how's it going over there? Is Zhenshan Stone okay? Xiaolan asked.
Lin Xi motioned to Xiao Yu'er to say the information she got from Peach Blossom Spring, and in exchange for Xiao Lan's puzzled eyes, she muttered, "Since the Zhenshan Stone is good, what is going on with these trees?" ”
Lin Xi found that whether it was Xiaolan, Ji Nan or Xiaoyuer, they all seemed to have a very peculiar affection for forests and mountains.
"I don't know, Xiao Yu'er's parents promised to come out tomorrow to check the situation, so let's not worry about it!" Lin Xi explained.
Xiaolan nodded, "Well, I see!" Xiao Yu'er went to see how Xue Yi and Uncle Zhong were, if you can, let's go now! ”
Everyone nodded, and went back to the cave in turn, Xue Yi and Uncle Zhong were sitting by the pool to cultivate, and they felt that several people had come back and quit cultivation.
"How does it feel?" Xiaolan looked at Uncle Zhong's face, his face was still a little pale, but his eyes looked bright.
Uncle Zhong nodded, and looked at everyone's emotions quietly, "Well, it's good!" Do you want to go now? ”
Xiaolan was not surprised that Uncle Zhong guessed her thoughts, "Well, let's leave now, there are still three hours before dawn, just enough for us to reach Pingyang City!" ”
Although with the monk's eyesight, night does not affect movement, it is still less convenient than daytime, so it is relatively safe for several people to travel at night.
"Don't worry about me, it's still no problem to stick to Binh Duong! It's going to trouble the little fish! ”
"Uncle Zhong, you are so polite, I am very happy to fly!" Xiao Yu'er said with a smile.
Rather than in human form, he prefers to fly freely in the sky.
********
When Xiaolan was the last one to come up, a few people put the fallen leaves and dead branches of the nearby surface layer at the entrance, and Lin Xi set up a formation again. Everyone sat on the back of the little fish and took one last look at the fiery red leaves, and said goodbye to the phoenix wood forest that had been there for half a month.
Except for meeting a few low-level disciples of the Lei Yan Sect who came out to practice at the beginning, however, because of Xiao Yu'er's fast speed, before they could see what was flying, Xiao Yu'er had already flown out several kilometers.
It was safer and quieter to get out of the range of Nanma Mountain, and there were no 'chances' encounters with any immortal cultivators along the way, and they arrived at Pingyang City without surprise.
At this time, the sun has just shown the horizon, the tall gate of Pingyang City is still tightly closed, and there is a long queue of one kilometer in front of the door, there are woodcutters carrying a load of firewood, and there are also peasant women carrying a one-person-high basket.
In addition, there were also richly dressed merchants and wealthy gentry in the procession, a foot away from the woodcutter in front, lest Chai He dirty his new clothes. The woodcutter was not very old, and he looked like he was sixteen or seventeen, he secretly pouted, and deliberately shook the flat shoulder on his shoulder, and the stack of firewood hanging behind him also swung around, and every time there was a fist-sized distance from the corner of the rich gentleman's clothes.
The rich gentleman looked at the young woodcutter angrily, "My clothes are twenty-two and one feet, and you can't afford to lose them if you sell them!" ”
The young woodcutter's hands trembled when he heard this, and Chai He slashed through the corner of the rich gentry's clothes again, and he hurriedly took a step forward, far away from the rich gentry. After standing up, he patted his chest, but fortunately it was not cut, otherwise it would have been necessary to buy a year's worth of firewood to make such a dress.
The rich gentleman patted the corner of his clothes triumphantly, shyly his stomach, and took a step forward with the woodcutter's steps, and when the woodcutter saw this, he had to move forward and stick to the back of the farmer in front of him.
The rich gentry was even more proud.
The expected excitement did not appear, and the peasant women in the team who were watching the excitement looked at the two of them regrettably, and then looked at the sky overhead, and sighed, time is really slow!
Behind the rich gentleman was a middle-aged man with long hair and phoenix eyes in a long robe, he looked at the brand-new clothes on the rich gentleman with disdain, and dared to pretend to be twenty taels and one feet for this kind of mainland goods that were sold for ten feet for two taels of silver, and only the countryside would believe his words.
After a quarter of an hour, the line grew longer and longer, and it was already two miles away. And the door that everyone had been waiting for for a long time finally made a "squeak" and opened a small crack.
Word of mouth spread in the procession, and after a while, even the last few women with a bunch of small turnip heads arrived, and the little turnip heads cheered even more happily, "Open the door!" It's in town! It's in town! ”
This was enough time for the guards guarding the gates of the city to open the two gates, the same as before, with three people standing on one side, and a large bucket of toll on each side.
"Quiet! Be quiet! Five cents per adult, no charge for children, and ten cents for driving! The guard shouted and stood back, signaling that the person standing first could enter.
From time to time, he roared, "Come one by one, don't squeeze!" The scene is getting more and more lively.
At this moment, there was a crisp sound of bells in the distance, and the little radish heads stretched their heads to look back.
After a while, a gorgeous car came to the back of the line, and when they saw the crowd in front of them, the beasts automatically slowed down. The seat on the frame where the driver was supposed to be sitting was empty, and in front of the four-wheeled carriage were four beasts with smooth and shiny fur, now spewing out clouds of white mist through their nostrils.
The exterior of the carriage looks very quaint, made of the finest sandalwood, and you can smell the light aroma emanating from the carriage from afar.
In the lower right corner, there is a logo carved with intricate lines, and at first glance, there are too many lines to count, and it only feels dazzling. If you look patiently and carefully, you will find that the picture on it is actually a Dapeng bird with wings spread.
There are also four bells the size of a baby's fist hanging from the four corners of the carriage, which make a pleasant and crisp sound with the footsteps of the beasts. Therefore, before the car reached the front of the team, it had already attracted everyone to look back.
There is a light blue gauze curtain hanging on the two windows on both sides, and it is clear that the gauze curtain is thin enough to see through the inside at a glance, but no matter how everyone looks at it, the gauze curtain is like a thin layer of fog, and the scene in the carriage is so tight.
Most of the people in the procession were peasants from the nearby countryside, and even those few caravans and squires had never seen such a luxurious carriage. Without waiting for the people in the carriage to speak, he took the initiative to get out of the way and let the carriage pass first.
Watching the carriage slowly walk to the front of the procession and finally stop in front of the vermilion gate, the people behind also retracted their gaze, and couldn't help but secretly guess which one it was.
The little radish heads also got together, you glanced at me and described how luxurious the car was just now, even the village chief's family didn't have such a car, especially the four-headed beast, looked at me, it's really scary!
The guards straightened their backs when they saw the car slowly coming. The car entered the city gate without a pause, and the guards did not dare to say a word.
At this time, the girl leaning in the carriage seemed to have just woken up, blinking lazily with her misty eyes, and the maid on the opposite side was beating in her heart, and the master was still as fascinated as ever!
