Chapter 37: The White Snow Leopard

"Wow~" Xia Qingyun couldn't help but let out an exclamation!

She couldn't believe her eyes.

The Ruyi Treasure Pavilion in front of me is endless, and I don't know how many times larger than before.

The blue sky is as clear as water, white clouds are blooming, a red sun rises in the east, golden sunlight shines through the clouds, and colorful neon is like a fairyland bridge, spanning the sky.

Under the blue sky, the big bluestone turns into a majestic mountain, and the white snow-capped peaks are faintly visible on the top of the mountain. Green grass covers the slopes, and a small stream winds its way from a waterfall on the mountainside, forming a clear blue lake at the foot of the mountain.

The lake is like a sapphire, reflecting the blue sky and white cloud peaks, and in the distance is the green tea plantation, and the white-walled and tiled houses are scattered around the tea plantation.

Nine green snakes swam out of the tea garden, raised their heads at Xia Qingyun's feet, and spat out snake letters in a flattering manner.

She bent down and stroked their smooth scales. The snakes were obediently coiled up, sizzling excitedly, as if chatting with her.

Playing with the snakes for a while, Xia Qingyun looked at the weathery Xintiandi, and was a little worried, in such a big place, it would take several days for him to go around, for example, it would take more than half an hour to walk from the lake to the house now.

With such a thought, he came to the house in an instant.

Xia Qingyun's heart blossomed, he could actually teleport in the Ruyi Treasure Pavilion, this is simply the plot of the myth!

To her delight, she found that she could now clearly perceive the situation outside the Treasure Pavilion, unlike before, when she was cut off from the outside as soon as she entered.

She secretly wondered if this qiē had something to do with the red beads she had just gotten in the stamens of the blood-colored orchid?

No matter how much it is, it's just like the Yibao Pavilion is getting better and better, and there's nothing to worry about.

Xia Qingyun changed into clean clothes again, untied his braids, and his long wet hair fell down. She pulled up the hair on her temples, pulled it into a bun at the back of her head, took out the bamboo silver hairpin and pinned it to the bun, and flashed out of the Ruyi Treasure Pavilion.

The cat came out of the cave and saw the black python facing off the shore with a huge snow leopard.

The white fur of the snow leopard has ring-shaped leopard spots that are black and white, and a pair of gray-blue leopard eyes stares intently at the giant triangular head of the giant python.

The python's curved body dragged marks on the ground, writhing and writhing, waiting for an opportunity to attack.

Xia Qingyun liked the snow leopard very much in his previous life, it looks like a tiger, the fur around it is soft and thick, and it is covered with beautiful leopard prints, luxurious and majestic.

The snow leopard likes to be alone, living near the snow line of the high mountains all year round, detached from things, and its whereabouts are secretive, and it has the reputation of "the god of the snow mountains". Compared to the creepy python, the snow leopard with its beautiful black and white leopard print is undoubtedly more popular.

The snow leopard rarely comes out to feed during the day, and it may be just as attracted by the scent of the bizarre blood-colored orchid as it is himself, which is why it comes here.

She stood next to the cave, watching in horror at the impending fight, secretly sweating for the snow leopard.

The snow leopard lowered its head, whined and roared, slowly took a few steps back, and suddenly raised its front paws and slammed down on the python's head.

The python deflected its head to dodge the snow leopard's attack, and then its thick body rolled over, trying to entangle the snow leopard in it.

The snow leopard opened its mouth, let out an angry roar, and bit the python's neck fiercely, but the python's scales were as hard as iron armor, and the snow leopard couldn't bite it at all.

The snow leopard changed tactics and flicked its front paws to grab at the python's blood-red eyes.

The python was in pain, flipped and let go of its body, then opened its mouth and spit out a fishy breath that sprayed directly at the snow leopard face door.

The snow leopard staggered and tilted its body to the side, and at that moment, the python's thick tail rose high and slapped against the rocks above.

Boom, the rock cracked into several pieces and rolled down the cliff, hitting the snow leopard's hind legs.

The snow leopard screamed, jumped up and fled up the hillside, burrowing into the dense forest.

The giant python shook its tail proudly, turned its head and dived into the pool, and in an instant, it swam in front of Xia Qingyun, and its huge body surfaced from under the water.

"You guy, why are you bullying people!" Xia Qingyun didn't care whether the python understood it or not.

The python floated a few times in the pool water, shaking its huge head as if defending itself.

Xia Qingyun looked at the moss-covered stones all around, and hesitated to step on which one to avoid slipping into the water.

As if reading through her thoughts, the python swam to the shore and arched its broad back.

"You want me to stand up?" Xia Qingyun looked at the black python's back and asked hesitantly.

Monty Python nodded slowly, as if answering her question.

The python's back is about two feet wide, just enough for a person to stand on it.

Xia Qingyun bit her lip, hesitated for a moment, and gently raised her foot to step on the python's back.

The scales were slightly raised, but not very slippery, and as soon as she stood still, the python clung to the surface of the water, like a huge black sword, cutting a path in the pool.

Xia Qingyun was dressed in green clothes, with long hair fluttering, standing on the back of a python like a fairy, and arrived at the other side of the waterhole in the blink of an eye.

Jumping off the python's back, she turned around and patted the python's head with a smile, "Thank you!" ”

The python tilted its head slightly, its red eyes blinked twice, and then turned its head into the water, swirling a huge whirlpool in the pool, and there was no trace of it.

Xia Qingyun shrugged and walked in the direction the snow leopard had fled.

The snow leopard lives on the cliffs of the high mountains, and if it is injured, it will definitely flee back to its nest, and if you follow it, you will find the Goddess Peak.

However, even a wounded snow leopard is much more agile than a human in the jungle.

Xia Qingyun could only carefully observe the traces left by it and trace it all the way.

The further up the hill you go, the cooler it gets. Sweat soaked her clothes, and the mountain wind blew, making her shiver from the cold.

As dusk came, the light in the forest quickly dimmed, and soon the surroundings were pitch black.

The long howls of wolves came from the depths of the dense forest, and Xia Qingyun flashed into the Ruyi Treasure Pavilion, a little worried about the injured snow leopard.

If it can't make it back to its nest, or if it can't climb the tree because of an injury, it's no match for the wolves.

After listening attentively to the movement outside for a while, he didn't hear the sound of fighting, and the wolf howl gradually faded away, so Xia Qingyun fell asleep with peace of mind.

The next morning, she bathed in the Seven Star Springs and returned to the forest refreshed.

There were many animal footprints and fresh feces on the woodland, and Xia Qingyun searched carefully for a long time before rediscovering the traces of the snow leopard.

Judging from the traces, it was not lightly injured, and it was very likely that it was smashed by a boulder and broke a leg, which is a very severe injury for the snow leopard who is good at climbing the wall and burrowing on the cliff.

Gradually, the trees became more and more thin, and a large alpine meadow could already be seen in front of meadows, and colorful wildflowers were scattered on the meadow, like a beautiful carpet.

Looking up, the goddess peak towering above the top of the mountain is majestic and straight, and the branches and leaves of the trees on the peak are shining in the sun, and they are constantly shaking with the mountain wind.

Xia Qingyun wished that she could have a telescope in her hand at this time, so that she could see if there were any tea trees among the plants on the peak.

Holding her hand on the pergola and looking at it for a while, her intuition told her that there must be something she was looking for, and even if she couldn't find the tea tree, she hoped to meet the injured snow leopard so that she could use the Seven Stars Spring Water to heal it.

The mountain became steeper and steeper, and after walking for a short distance my legs seemed to be filled with lead, soreness and heaviness, and my breathing became rapid. Xia Qingyun knew that this was due to a slight lack of oxygen caused by the gradual thinning of oxygen in the mountains.

She stopped, took as deep a breath as she could, and took out a gourd with Seven Stars Spring Water and took a few sips.

The cool and sweet spring water poured down her throat, and she suddenly felt much more refreshed, and after a while, she finally came to the foot of the goddess peak.

Shennu Peak rises abruptly from the top of the mountain, composed of a whole piece of rock, the rock wall is almost perpendicular to the ground, the peak is more than 100 zhang high, it is difficult to climb without professional climbing equipment.

Xia Qingyun gritted his teeth, since he had arrived, how could he give up lightly?

Moreover, she could now faintly see that a plant poking out of the summit resembled a wild tea tree.

If you can't do it this way, just go around to the north slope and maybe find a place to climb.

Walking around the Goddess Peak, Xia Qingyun was a little disappointed.

It is surrounded by cliffs on all sides, and it is impossible to climb them by human means except for animals such as goats or snow leopards, which are good at living on them.

How good is that? Xia Qingyun sat on the grass, looking at the towering cliff at a loss.

The mountain wind blew more and more violently, and the clouds gradually accumulated, covering most of the sky.

The sun is blocked by dark clouds, the temperature drops rapidly, and a storm is approaching.

Xia Qingyun frowned. The climate in the mountains is unpredictable, and storms are likely to be mixed with snow and ice, and in case of heavy snowfall, it is even more impossible to climb the Goddess Peak.

As soon as I flashed into the Wishful Treasure Pavilion, cold raindrops fell from the sky, mixed with hail the size of soybeans, and the raindrops gradually turned into snowflakes, fluttering down, and the green meadow soon turned into a white expanse.

Xia Qingyun sighed helplessly, the more he was afraid of something, the more he came. There is no way, now I have to wait for the snowstorm to stop and find a way to go down the mountain, and then look elsewhere for tea trees.

Lying on the grass by the lake, Xia Qingyun thought of his father and mother at home, thought of Qiuyun and Huayun, and the sisters and brothers of the Hua family, and didn't know what they were doing now. There is also a sister-in-law, before leaving, she left some seven-star spring water, and the symptoms of morning sickness after drinking it were much reduced, hoping that before she finished drinking, she could find the tea tree and rush back.

Thinking of Miss Zhiqiu again, I don't know where the son she said is sacred, could it be that Huangfu is to the east? Or, is it a golden million? But if you think about it, it's unlikely.

Thinking so crankily, my eyelids gradually sank, and I fell asleep unconsciously.

Xia Qingyun felt that his body flew up lightly, flying higher and higher, and somehow came to a hanging garden with fragrant flowers and plants.

In the garden, the green grass is green, all kinds of strange flowers that cannot be named are purple and red, competing for beauty, and the trees are hung with exquisite fruits, or green, or red, or golden, or light purple, exuding bursts of refreshing fragrance.

Suddenly, a woman in red with a flowery face turned out from behind the tree, saw Xia Qingyun, ran over with a surprised face, took her hand affectionately, and said with a smile: "Sister Qing'er, you are finally here!" ”
