Chapter 2 The Pillar of the Cloud Section 1 Looking for a Kiss

Lying on the hot stones of Qixia Ridge was a three-legged toad, his name was Wu Enqi, he was originally the son of the boat people, and he was a learned wise man of the worlds. He once called for wind and rain in the Demon Capital of Desire, and even the Demon Kings were impressed by him, but he offended the Demon Mother and was turned into an ugly toad.

Beside the toad Unki sat a beautiful spirit named Monica, who was supposed to die miserably, but out of nowhere, the Holy Spirit got a magic core and gave it to her, turning her remnant soul into a mysterious and powerful spirit.

Just like reward and punishment are the two sides of power, the Holy Spirit and the Demon Mother are also the same great existence, she is the shepherd of the three races of humans, demons and demons, and is the creator god and the god of the original demon world, she often plays the world in a sack, she is best at stealing and robbing, she calls herself a thief in a sack. Such a great god had to wear a sack, because the sack was very convenient, and when he needed face, the sack could cover his shame, and when he didn't need face, the sack could be used to hide stolen goods.

Toad Unki reiterates to Monica that she was able to get a new life thanks to his Core, which the Mother had scooped out of his body and turned her into a Spirit, so she should be grateful to him and give him an affectionate kiss. Monica has lost her memories of the past, but she is still as lively and happy as ever.

Monica smiled happily: "Liar, I don't believe you? I know you're telling the story of The Frog Prince, and if you're a frog, I'll kiss you and lift the curse for you." But you're actually a toad, it's disgusting to kiss a toad, and I'm not a princess. ”

Unqi pleaded, "If you kiss me, I won't be a toad." Who says you're not a princess? You're my favorite princess, please, can you just force yourself?"

Monica, a kind girl, hesitated for a moment, picked up the toad, and brought her cute little mouth to his mouth. However, offering the sacred first kiss to the ugly toad is beyond the realm of goodness, and Monica maintains this action, refusing to kiss it for a long time. Unki was in a hurry, and he jerked forward, trying to touch Monica's lips, but he didn't move fast enough, and Monica pressed his big mouth with her sparkling fingers.

Monica said angrily, "Don't kiss me secretly! I'm going to be angry." Since you are my benefactor, I will not leave you, I will take you to find other girls, probably...... There will always be a girl who is willing to give you her first kiss. ”

The kiss failed, and Unqi couldn't think about it, so he had to let Monica's arrangement go.

Qixia Ridge is a low mountain range in the Jinyun Mountain, and the Jinyun Mountain is the home of the boat people. The mountain is located in the sea of phantom fire, seven peaks stand side by side, thousands of low peaks and countless low ridges criss-cross, under those peaks is the sea of fire, in the middle of the seven peaks is the white river in the sky, the water of the white river and the sea of phantom fire are constantly rolling, the clouds are churning, straight into the nine heavens.

There is no shortage of water or heat, but there is not enough soil. There is no land available for cultivation on Qixia Ridge, so there is no human settlement. There are not even people, so naturally they can't deceive a kiss that can lift the curse.

Unqi said to Monica: "Yunyun Mountain is my hometown, you take me to Kaiyang Peak, my sister Shalina likes small animals, she may save me." ”

Even her sister's kiss had to be cheated, and Monica looked at Unchi with extreme disdain.

Wu Enqi sighed and said: "If you are turned into a toad, you are also in a hurry, anyway, Kaiyang Peak is nearby, you can send me over, don't hand me over to the cook, I'm afraid they will stew me." ”

Monica said, "No, then you can't lie to your sister, I'll take you to the market, there are many beautiful girls, I haven't been to the boat people's market, there must be something good I haven't seen." ”

Wu Enqi shouted: "My princess, don't be greedy, the alliance of the three clans of the demon clan is going to attack our Qianyun Mountain, I will go home to see that the King of Kaiyang has something important, and when I have time, I will accompany you to visit Qianyun Mountain." ”

Monica said, "Bah, you're a toad, who wants you to accompany you?" but since you're in a hurry, I'll send you home first." ”

Monica looked left and right, Qixia Ridge was just a low hill, surrounded by a sea of fire, the mountains were full of hard rocks, and the sky was a rolling white river, but the river of this sky river looked downward, and there seemed to be an indescribable sense of disobedience.

Monica said, "There is fire all around, there is no road at all, how can I get to Kaiyang Peak?"

Unqi said, "Aren't you a light spirit? ”

Monica's beautiful eyes widened, "Lightwalking? What kind of spell is that? I won't." By the way, you are not allowed to stare at me, I have no clothes, and I feel strangely shy. ”

Unqi rolled his eyes, the light spirit is the light of life, and the whole body of the light spirit Monica is shrouded in bright light, graceful and dazzling. She was originally the light, but she couldn't travel like the light, it was a joke.

Unqi taught her, "I'm not a light spirit, and I don't know how to use light magic, but it shouldn't be difficult for you. You look at a place and think, 'I'm going to go over,' and you're going to fly there." ”

Monica nodded, she looked into the distance, Unki was about to stop her, but the light spirit Monica had turned into a bright light, flying out at a speed of 300,000 kilometers per second, the white light she incarnated into was gone and never came back, she went too far and forgot the direction of return.

Unqi fell on his back on the hot stone, and his white belly turned out in anger, so he had to think of another way out of the predicament.

However, it is unimaginable that Unqi once practiced divine sense, fighting qi, witchcraft, swordsmanship, and used magic energy, but the Holy Spirit who gave him magic energy charged some interest, and when she took away the magic energy, she took away Unqi's right arm and all the power, so that Unqi became a three-legged toad with an empty stomach full of knowledge. Wu Enqi climbed around Qixia Ridge, and there was no way to leave here, and even survival became a problem.

Fortunately, although there is no land on Qixia Ridge, it is not without plants. The hungry Unch found several bushes growing on the edge of a cliff, which he quickly identified as fire bog trees with many mature tinder on the trees. Unqi carefully climbed the cliff and jumped onto the fire swamp with all his strength, and with his two hind paws hooked the branches of the fire marsh, stretched out his front paws to reach a few fires, and swallowed a few fires with a strong burning sensation.

The fire bog and the spark it produces are not elixirs or valuable, but Unqi finds the fire bog and lets go of his hanging heart. Fire can be made into healing ointment, and now that the demons are about to besiege Jinyun Mountain, there will definitely be boatman girls who collect medicine to pick up the fire, and they are the hope of Wuenqi to lift the curse and restore him to humans. As for Monica, Unqi doesn't have any hope, and she doesn't know that she will be able to find Jinyun Mountain in the Year of the Monkey.

After three days of eating the tinder, Unki's stomach was burning and his eyes were blazing, he was too naΓ―ve and too optimistic. The area of Qiyun Mountain is vast, and Qixialing is just a very inconspicuous hill, not to mention the boatman girl who picks herbs, and no one may come to this kind of place where birds don't for a few months. No one came, and Unqi was naturally still a three-legged toad.

On this day, Wu Enqi finally looked forward to a savior, a straw raft made of empty grass slowly approached Qixialing from the air, the grass raft was afraid of fire, so it was far away in mid-air, what made Wu Enqi more disappointed was that it was not a boatman girl with a green fragrance who slipped down the grass ladder from the empty straw raft, but a boatman stinky boy with snot and tattered clothes. After he came down, the raft in mid-air carried several other boatmen and boys and flew away slowly.

Although he was a little disappointed, he climbed over excitedly, and he opened his mouth to speak, but he forgot that there was a saying called "Toad jumps on the feet, does not bite and disgusting people". In Wuenqi's feelings, he was moved to tears by the villagers he finally saw again after more than a year away from his hometown, and in the eyes of the boatman boy, he reluctantly went to this barren mountain to collect herbs, and as soon as his feet touched the ground, a big toad pounced on him.

Annoyed, the boat boy flew up and kicked the crawling toad into the sky. If it was just a kick, next to it was a cliff, and the toad Wuenqi group flew in the air for two and a half weeks, and then turned 7,200 degrees, and fell into the sea of fire under Qixia Ridge with an elegant posture.

Wu Enqi blessed the eighteenth generation ancestor of the stinky boy in his heart, the sea of fire under the Qixia Ridge was arranged by the Holy Spirit himself 30,000 years ago, if she hadn't laid the boundless phantom fire, the ancestor of the boat people, the human expeditionary army led by General Zhong Ziyou, would have wiped out the demon race a long time ago, at least every boat person thought so.

The phantom fire that trapped the boatman in the Yunyun Mountain burned for more than 30,000 years, bottomless, and scorching, as if it could burn everything to ashes. For 30,000 years, the boats of Yunyun Mountain and the demons in the demon realm have known that this boundless sea of fire is a sea of illusory fire, but if they fall into it, they will definitely be burned to death, and even if they are not burned to death, they will definitely not be able to return it, because it is an illusion laid by the Holy Spirit, and no human or demon can see through it.

Unqi fell into the sea of fire, and his first thought was "I'm finished", but Unqi's body encountered a raging fire, just like ice and fire cannot be the same furnace, like light and darkness are mutually exclusive, like life and death will eventually be separated, like a stubborn rock thrown out to wash away the sky under the water.

Unqi tumbled and fell into the rubble, he turned over and stood in the phantom fire and looked up, less than ten meters from where he had fallen, and could clearly see the grass raft in the sky and the boatman and wild boy climbing the bush to pick the fire.

Unqi rolled his eyes and thought about it, it was the Holy Spirit who turned him into a toad, and it was also the Holy Spirit who planted the phantom fire, and the mana of the same origin interfered with each other, perhaps it was for this reason that he was not affected by the phantom fire. However, this alone is not a good thing, he is still a toad. Wu Enqi turned around and looked around, his position was still extremely high, he was still on the Qixia Ridge, but there was no phantom fire under the ridge.

The land under the Qixia Ridge, which was covered by the phantom fire, was full of red and bright gravel, and there was no end in sight. Many towering mountains stand on the red earth, Qixia Ridge is actually very high, so its top is exposed beyond the phantom fire, under the cover of the phantom fire there are more low hills, mountain streams, valleys, rivers, and even far away can see the fields and villages and towns that have been reclaimed.
