Monks rarely quarrel with others, but they also have a bottom line. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
Among the disciples of the Wudang faction, there are not many people who walk down the mountain, but there are also people who travel all over the world and ask for immortals. Da Huan Dan is a specialty of Jinghu Lake, and it is also a treasure in the world, which can assist in improving cultivation, everyone wants to get it, and it is more useful to the disciples of the Wudang faction. It's a pity that Mirror Lake is outside Wudang Mountain.
Suddenly sent to Jinghu to compete for the Great Returning Dan, Zhan Kaijiao was a little surprised, although he was unwilling to take risks, but his master was unable to disobey his fate, so he had to bring his two brothers to go with Li En. Before leaving, Jing Chusanren advised: "You change into civilian clothes, if you are not defeated, you can flee to the small building in the middle of the lake in the mirror lake, where there is an old friend of the deity, Ruan Xingzhu, who lives in seclusion, but remember not to mention the word 'duan' to her, and in addition, you must bypass the mixed river dragon." ”
The four of them changed their ordinary clothes and prepared to go down the mountain, when Ning Chusan rushed over and advised: "If you set fire to the river dragon, you can hide in the water, and you can pretend to be dead when you encounter a strong enemy. ”
The four of them bowed their heads and thanked them, and rushed down the stone steps down the mountain, Li En's heart was both excited and uneasy, if he was lucky enough to get the big return pill on this trip, he could go to Emei as soon as possible. When the group came to the Wudang boundary monument, they saw an old Taoist looking up at the sky, and said in his mouth: "The wind is sluggish and the water is cold, I hope you can return after you go." ”
Li En understood, so he bowed his head to him, Lao Dao looked at him, and said: "The light skills of the Wudang faction are not conducive to escaping, but you can move from low to high places in an instant, remember to exert force with your feet, and stop your shoulders!" ”
Zhan Kaijiao saluted and thanked him, and when he left the martial arts territory, they put on their robes, hats, and black scarves to cover their faces, and walked along the path.
In late July, it's early autumn, but the weather here is lukewarm all year round, with evergreen plants and flowers.
Zha Tiankuo is a disciple of Tianshan Mountain, exploring the way in front, Zhan Kaijiao reminded the other two to be careful, there are no little thieves here, only the big devil who kills people without blinking.
Li En calmed down and said, "The random appearance of the Millennium Grass is both a good thing and a bad thing for us. We can only try our luck, but luck cannot be controlled. ”
Zhan Kaijiao said: "For the random things, I can't be in a hurry, I think we should go to the small building in the middle of the lake to meet Senior Ruan first, so that we can quickly escape to the refuge in case of danger." ”
Xue Tao and Li En agreed with him, Zhan Kaijiao called back the second child, and with his own memory, he took the three of them to the small building in the middle of the lake, where the climate is warm and humid, so poisonous insects breed, and along the way, poisonous snakes were constantly seen wandering in the stream, and centipedes were infested in the grass.
At noon, the sun was a little hot, and a few people took a cool dip under a camphor tree and ate dry food.
Zhan Kaijiao said: "This kind of tree is a good material for making boxes, which can be insect resistant and rotten. However, the sap of this tree is poisonous and is often used to refine it as a poison. ”
Zha Tiankuo said, "Then why don't we take the sap of the camphor tree to deal with the enemy?" ”
Zhan Kaijiao shook his head and said: "We are not a sect that uses poison, besides, the sap of the camphor tree can only have a better effect after refining, and the crude sap can only cause a coma for a short time." ”
After hearing this, Li En said: "This is the best, it will not hurt people, but it can also control the enemy, let's take some self-defense." ”
Zhan Kaijiao taught them to cut the branches of the camphor tree with a knife, multiply the juice with a small porcelain bottle, and hide it. After doing it, the sun was no longer hot, they continued to walk along the path, still by Zha Tiankuo in front of the path, in the evening, Zha Tiankuo turned back excitedly, and said: "Boss, I saw a stone house in front, but I didn't see the owner, I don't know if it is the small residence of Ruan Xingzhu's predecessors?" ”
As they spoke, a red light appeared in front of them, and it was fleeting, Li En showed a surprised look, and hurriedly looked forward, Zhan Kaijiao immediately grabbed him and said, "Be careful of poisonous insects, when highly poisonous things infested in the past, they would also appear red." ”
Zha Tiankuo said: "Be careful, be careful, in case the thousand-year-old grass is ripe, this place is not far from the stone house." ”
The three of them drew their weapons and were on guard, Li En followed behind them and walked forward, and Zhan Kaijiao signaled the second child to hide and be on guard. By the stream, a turquoise fairy grass bathes in the sunset and sways in the wind.
The red light just now was emitted by the sunset shining on the fruit of this fairy grass, the white fruit was crystal clear, Zhan Kaijiao was overjoyed, and affirmed to his companions with his eyes that this was the thousand-year-old grass.
Li En rolled up his sleeves, took out the medicine hoe, and was about to pick, Zhan Kaijiao stopped him again, only to see a lazy crocodile in the creek disguised as rotten wood, and a colorful five-step snake was facing the fairy grass, arching its back, spitting out a bright red core, and there was a big centipede as red as fire at the root of the grass.
The three of them gasped, and the sound of eagles and horses' hooves could be heard in the distance, and Zha Tiankuo transmitted to them the gesture of a strong enemy coming, and Zhan Kaijiao hurriedly held down the two companions and hid in the bushes.
Suddenly, there was a sound from the stream, and a purple figure jumped out, reaching out and grabbing the thousand-year-old grass, but as soon as his hand touched the grass stem, he quickly withdrew it, and at the same time let out a miserable scream, and Zha Tiankuo, who was hiding on the side with a concealment technique, immediately changed his face, and wanted to show himself to rescue, but it was too late.
The purple figure was dragged into the stream, and the crocodile, disguised as rotten wood, bit its waist and abdomen, and its blood splattered on the spot.
Zhan Kaijiao tightly covered Li En's mouth, Zha Tiankuo's heart was extremely painful, but he couldn't do anything, he recognized that this man in purple was also from the Tianshan faction.
While the crocodile was enjoying its meal, a white eagle flew into the sky, and a group of staggering knights rushed to the ground, and these people smelled blood and drew their weapons.
Li En's eyes were also covered by Zhan Kaijiao, the mounts under the crotch of this group of knights were not ordinary mounts, there were wooden horses, lions, phoenixes and floats, and even a majestic unicorn.
Zhan Kaijiao's brothers were depressed, and the person who came was not only strong in martial arts, but also very rich.
If you don't have the money, you can't have a peerless mount, let alone a pet that these people haven't released yet.
This group of people came together, but they were not a group, they were all just to snatch the fairy grass and refine the Great Returning Pill.
Countless hands reached for the only one millennium grass, but the screams and fights were already heard, and the neighing of mounts and the roars of pets echoed through the sky.
At the same time as the fight, the millennium grass was uprooted by a pair of invisible hands, and was thrown into the air from the hands of a purple-clothed man, and a beggar with a hat jumped up and grabbed it, but the other hand snatched it again, and the millennium grass changed hands several times, and finally fell into the hands of an old man riding a fairy deer, and the most dazzling thing was the big fan with a cold light in his hand.
The fairy deer opened its four hooves and leaped in the mountain stream, and countless people with long spears and short knives chased after them on their mounts, but the roar of a fierce beast was deafening, and Li En saw a tiger with wings and green smoke separating the fairy deer from the pursuers through Zhan Kaijiao's fingers.
And the brook was already sprinkled with blood, and the water was dyed red.
The sun sank into the West Mountain, everything was quiet again, Zha Tiankuo quickly appeared, Zhan Kaijiao pulled Li En up, and said, "Let's hurry up to the stone house, it's not safe here." ”
Zha Tiankuo muttered: "These people are already so powerful, and they came to snatch the thousand-year-old grass from us, and we came for nothing this time." ”
