Chapter 12: Departure (1)
The next day, Mengxian and Chu Xingnan went to see His Holiness and asked her for permission to go to Zongye Mountain to find the Ninefold Immortal Grass.
His Holiness agreed very casually, and basically did not say anything. Not only that, but he also assigned additional tasks to Mengxian.
There is a local animal endemic to Jongye Mountain, the Iron Armor, its leather is extremely tough, and it is covered with a layer of fine Lin armor, which is a rare treasure. After successfully hunting the Iron Armored Beast, His Holiness agreed to refine a new spirit treasure for her and her senior brother.
In addition, she also had to independently complete the investigation of the spiritual plants of Zongye Mountain and organize them into an illustrated book.
Mengxian made a bitter face, but obediently agreed.
The two walked side by side to the courtyard of the back mountain, chatting with each other.
"Hey, speaking of which, I've always felt that you and that Venerable Lord look very similar, are you any related?" Chu Xingnan stared at her vigorously.
"Nope. Mengxian glanced at him, he couldn't tell him that he was a spirit body, and the Venerable looked very much like his mother in his previous life, so when he was growing up, he deliberately shaped his human form according to the appearance of his previous life.
Seeing that Mengxian was displeased, Chu Xingnan changed the topic with interest.
"What do we have to prepare for going to Zongye Mountain?"
"Sturdy ropes, antidote elixirs, breathing pills, beast water, huh...... It's a good idea to bring a few sets of thick clothes. Meng Xian crossed his fingers and counted carefully, "Master Venerable said that the Nine Immortal Grass will grow in the ice cave that extends to the ground of the Constant Ice Land, where it must be extremely cold. ”
This silly girl, do you really think that a few thick clothes can withstand the cold of the land of constant ice?
Chu Xingnan smiled slightly, but did not break it. Just followed her, "Well, is there anything else?"
"For the rest, you can bring whatever you want. Mengxian's tone was like a child who was about to go on an outing discussing what to bring, "Anyway, it's enough for me to bring only my belongings, and the master has also assigned me a task." ”
"Alright, then let's meet in the main hall in four days. ”
The two nodded goodbye, those who should refine the medicine went to refine the medicine, and those who should prepare things went to prepare the things, and they didn't meet again for a few days.
Four days later.
Mengxian waved hello to the young man who came in a hurry from afar.
"Have you waited for a long time?" Chu Xingnan's panting appearance made the dream fairy giggle.
"No, I'm afraid you'll wait a long time, so I'll come here a little earlier. As soon as Mengxian spoke, he was stunned.
Well, how do two people go on a date?
Mengxian coughed a few times to hide his embarrassment, "Ahem, that, let's go." ”
Chu Xingnan noticed such an atmosphere, and his heart was full of joy, and even his face was full of smiles.
"Good. ”
Looking at the young man's pure smile, Mengxian forcibly suppressed the throbbing in his heart, and took the lead in striding out, quite a bit of a deserted escape.
Looking at the girl's movements, Chu Xingnan smiled even happier.
Out of the valley, Mengxian didn't care if the atmosphere was embarrassing or not, like a bird that flew out of the cage, and spread joy everywhere. Picking a few spirit fruits here, picking a few small flowers there, Chu Xingnan was very helpless.
"Sister Xian'er, this road must be very dangerous, so let's save a lot of strength and hurry up. ”
"Dangerous?" Mengxian took the spirit fruit in his mouth and threw it at him. Seeing that the fruit hit the young man's head accurately, and was caught in a hurry, he smiled and said, "That's not likely." ”
Then he took out a piccolo carved by the bones of a spirit beast, put it to his mouth and blew it idly. Chu Xingnan was stunned for a moment.
"Do you still have the leisure to play the flute?" Chu Xingnan couldn't cry or laugh for a while, and didn't know what to say. He stared blankly at the fruit in his hand, and the ghost sent the god to take a bite, and then his ears turned red with shame.
Mengxian didn't pay attention to the situation of the people around her, and listened carefully to something while playing a playful and brisk tune with a piccolo. It seemed like they were waiting for something to come.
"——!"
A clear chirp resounded through the forest, accompanied by a gust of wind, and the huge bird-shaped spirit beast came to a steady stop in the clearing not far away.
"This ...... This is a sixth-order red-winged Dapeng!" Chu Xingnan's voice trembled in fright.
Dream Fairy glanced at the frightened little kid with a smile, and walked in the direction of the Red Wing Dapeng.
"Sister Xian'er, don't go over!" Most of the spirit beasts are wild and untamable, and if they break out and hurt people, the consequences will be unimaginable.
Mengxian jumped over like a big horse monkey under the nervous gaze of the young man, handing over a few freshly picked spirit fruits, and at the same time touching the soft feathers on the chest of the red-winged Dapeng with hairy hands and feet.
The Red Wing Dapeng did not tear the girl's small body as he imagined, but tilted his head to look at it before pecking at the spirit fruit handed over, and deliberately lowered his body so that Mengxian's little hands could touch his feathers.
Mengxian rubbed wildly at the red-winged Dapeng, and he couldn't wait for the whole person to sink into the fluffy feathers. After rubbing enough, he beckoned to Chu Xingnan, who was stunned on the side.
"This is my second brother's bird. She laughed.
