Zhuji Taozhu Mountain, as the locals call it Eagle Mountain, is not a famous place.

There is a tiger head rock in the mountain, and there is a Fan Li Ancestral Hall on it, which is barely a historic site, but even the mountain people who have lived in the mountain for several generations are not very clear about when the decaying ancient ancestral hall was built.

There are few people worshipping there, so it fell into disrepair.

Some old people said that hundreds of years ago, when the Great Chu Dynasty was newly built, there were officials and family members who came to repair the ancient shrine, and the emperor came to worship, but only a few times.

After that, the Fan Li Temple, like this Tao Zhu Mountain, seemed to have been forgotten by the outside world.

The Great Chu Dynasty listed this mountain as a forbidden mountain, except for a few mountain people who live in the mountain all year round, outsiders are not allowed to enter the mountain, just like artificially carved out a paradise.

After Zhao Hu usurped the throne in the south, he also sent people to Taozhu Mountain to visit, and Zhao Biao, who liked to ask for immortals, entered this mountain twice or three times, but found nothing.

The three-hundred-year ban has made the environment in this mountain extremely well protected.

Shen Qiu and his entourage entered the foothills of Taozhu Mountain in the evening, and in one night, they encountered all kinds of animals, rabbits, mountain deer, wild boars, all kinds of snakes, and even leopards passing over the bonfire they had started.

These animals are rare to humans, and they are not afraid of these two-legged beasts at all.

There were even a few curious little foxes hiding in the forest in groups, and after getting some snacks from Qingqing, they happily followed behind the convoy.

They didn't dare to come near either.

The most daring predators are only looking from afar.

The perception of animals is very keen, and although Bai Ling'er in Zhang Lan's arms has been napping, she is still like the natural enemy of these creatures.

"There are even hot springs in this mountain."

Zhang Lan stood on the resting high ground, looking into the distance, a warrior like him had excellent eyesight, and under the moonlight, he could faintly see the light spots reflected in the distant pools.

"Naturally, there is."

Shen Qiu sat by the bonfire, stirring the fire in front of him with a wooden stick, and said casually:

"Do you remember the director Dao you saw in Luoyang?"

"Remember, that person didn't follow Li Baoguo and join the Tiance Army."

Qingqing threw the dried fruit in his hand far away, gave it to the little foxes who were hiding a few feet away from the bonfire, and turned around to answer the call.

She said:

"Has he been here before?"

"He's not just here."

Shen Qiu said as if telling a story:

According to him, when he was a teenager, he also had a period of middle school and two years, often entering Taozhu Mountain to visit the relics of immortals.

The boy was a coordinated, and when he was fourteen years old, he had seen a miracle under the moon by the hot springs.

It is said that there is a white ape dancing a sword under the moon, he has seen it with his own eyes, and from that sword technique, he has danced some exquisite sword styles.

I fought with him in Luoyang, and although the Moon Picking Star Sword was only a remnant move, it did have a bit of the charm of the world that only heard its sound and did not see its shape.

And the white ape arm fist inherited by his family is also said to have been obtained from Tao Zhu Mountain. ”

"Is it so evil?"

Xuanyu, who was fiddling with two strange little snakes in her hands, turned her head, and the little witch seemed to recall some things about herself, she pursed her lips and said:

"I've been to Dali, where it is said that there is a sword mountain outside the sky, and there are also immortal ruins, which are said to be miraculous, but I have been there many times, except for some exotic flowers and fruits, I have not found anything.

There are many such legends in Miaojiang, but Master told me that nine times out of ten, they are all false.

But having said that, when Master occasionally rises, he will go to the 100,000 Mountains alone, and my five-colored poisonous toad was found by Master from a ruin in the 100,000 Mountains.

You said that we are all people with great luck, why haven't we seen such miracles with our own eyes? ”

"Maybe it's bad luck."

Sitting cross-legged by the campfire, wearing a small iron in Tiangang armor, the urn interjected angrily and said:

"When Master and I lived in Liaodong, I also heard that there were gods and ghosts haunting the land of Sanhan, and Master also went to look for it, but every time I was disappointed.

He often said that although this world is prosperous, there are miserable cemeteries everywhere you look. ”

"He was right, the same scenery has to be seen by different people."

Shen Qiu looked at the bonfire burning in front of him, and in the background of the fluttering flames, he whispered:

"Thousands of years ago, in the era of Reiki, immortals walked on the earth of the world, and there were their footprints everywhere, but immortals were not immortal.

Their legends have turned into human myths in time, and some lucky people have to meet some few words, and all kinds of theories can be passed on.

In our opinion, it was a wonderful thing for the immortals.

But in the eyes of the true immortal heirs, it is all a lonely grave, and there is nowhere to talk about it. ”

"That being said, but Young Master Ben still thinks that only dead immortals are good immortals."

Zhang Lan turned her head in response, and asked everyone to nod silently.

The atmosphere was silent for a few moments, Qingqing rolled her eyes, she snuggled up to her senior brother, looking at the surrounding mountains and forests that were moving from time to time, and it was a wild beast walking through it.

She yawned and said:

"Shall we go to Fan Li Temple tomorrow, cross Hutou Rock, and go to the mountains?"

"That's the ancestral temple of your Fan family, and it is said that it is still the place where Fan Li and Xi Shi fell in love."

Shen Qiu flicked Qingqing's forehead, and he said:

"Since you are passing by, you must be going to pay your respects.

You, the last descendant of the Fan family, tell the old ancestor about the current situation, and ask him to give us a little blessing. ”

"Brother Shen Qiu, you can pull it down."

Xuanyu's slender arms were wrapped around two small snakes, and he said with a look of invigoration:

"I also heard the story of Xi Shi, saying that she was born by the Huanxi River, but now that a thousand years have passed, the Huanxi has been rerouted, if the ancestor of the Qingqing family is really miraculous, how can this kind of thing be allowed to happen?

That Tao Zhu Immortal didn't even care about his own affairs, which was really disappointing. ”

"Hey."

Qingqing jumped to Xuanyu's side, grabbed the little witch's hair, shook it around, and said:

"You demon girl, you are not allowed to insult my ancestors.

My immortals may be listening to this, but you are talking nonsense and disturbing him, and if he doesn't come out to see us, this trip will be in vain. ”

The two girls had a fight, which made the atmosphere more lively.

Just like the night talk around the fireplace, everyone chatted a few more words, and when the moon stars were scarce, looking at the quiet mountains and forests, Yaoqin was interested, so they moved to the moon qin and adjusted the strings.

She said to the people:

"It's rare to encounter such good things, so let's play a fishing song."

"Yes, yes."

Qingqing clapped his hands and said:

"I didn't hear my sister play the piano all the way, this will be just the sound of the piano, and the scenery, maybe the immortals are happy to hear it, and they will show up to meet each other."

Yaoqin chuckled.

She didn't expect a song to attract immortals, but she was always with the Falling Moon Qin, not only was she moving the qin, but this treasure qin was also influencing her, making her natural qin heart seem to be more clear and divine.

In Shen Qiu's words, it was a little more emotional.

Whenever you encounter all kinds of scenery, you want to use the sound of the piano to oppose.

Give up the words, and blend the mind with nature.

Yaoqin sat by the fire, let out a long breath, calmed down, stroked the strings with ten fingers, and saw that the momentum around her body changed, as if she was one with the baoqin.

In addition to the temperament of the beauty of the world, there is more ethereal dust.

Shen Qiu sat on the other side, admiring the charm of his beloved wife at this time, the more he looked at it, the more happy he became, and his eyes were full of pity.

With a sound of string movement, the sound of the piano spreads out, without a trace of the world's prosperous fireworks, as if emerging from the surrounding mountains and forests, and the jade fingers of the yaoqin are played.

The Tongling Baoqin is in harmony, and it seems that he is also satisfied with the beautiful sound in this world sounding from his own place.

It's like a phantom sound heard in the Taihang Mountains.

A touch of illusion-like artistic conception, with the sound of the piano spread far away, and the quiet atmosphere in the mountains under the moon blended together, everyone's ears, there are no questions and answers about fishing wood.

Fame and fortune in the world are tempting.

But the rise and fall of the past and the present, if you look back, only the green mountains and green waters, solid and unharmed.

Thousands of years of gains and losses, pay for this fishing wood.

The music is melodious, meaning free and easy, there are the towers of the mountains, the ocean of water, occasionally the sound of the piano rises and falls, and it is like the sound of the axe, and even the kitten in Zhang Lan's arms raised its head.

The greedy little foxes hiding around the convoy even got up from the grass, their dark eyes, and looked at Yaoqin with joy.

After the song was played, the afterglow remained, and everyone sat by the campfire, silent for a long time.

Ten breaths later, Shen Qiu blinked.

He looked at Qingqing, who was gentle beside him, and said:

"Qingqing, how many people are there in our line?"

"You, me, Sister Yaoqin, Xiao Xuanyu, Xiao Tie, and Zhang Lan, six people."

Qingqing replied.

Shen Qiu pointed to the bonfire in front of him with strange eyes, and said:

"Then why is there seven shadows when the flames shine away?"

"Ahh

This rhetorical question woke up several people around.

The little witch who seemed to be bold turned pale with fright, hid behind Yaoqin with her head in her arms, trembling, and Xiao Tie grabbed the heavy sword fiercely and looked back.

The kitten in Zhang Lan's arms jumped to the ground, arched itself, and screamed sharply.

The song that Yaoqin played just now really led to some sneaky things in this mountain forest.

Just like a horror story with a sudden ending, everyone's eyes were at this moment, looking at the campfire, silently, the extra seventh figure.

"Monkey!"

Qingqing, who was clasping six darts in both hands, exclaimed.

The faces of the others also became strange.

It was a monkey.

It's not big.

As old as a child of seven or eight years old, squatting by the campfire, nimble in his hands clutching dried fruit stolen from the wagon.

It didn't seem to be at all afraid of the fire beating in front of it, and it didn't care at all about everyone's startled reaction.

The moonlight sprinkled down, reflecting the silver light on the mane on the little monkey's body, and the flexible tail wagged around behind him.

Its hairy face, its eyes squinted, as if it was still immersed in the afterglow of the music just now.

It's like the owner of this mountain forest, and he doesn't want to deal with the guests passing by.

But when he saw that the guests had strange treasures, he couldn't help but be curious, and he came out to meet him.

Even in the face of Xiao Tie's heavy sword, Qingqing's dart, the black fan that Zhang Lan pulled out, and the porcelain bottle Gu worm that the little witch girl held in her hand, she was not afraid at all.

It's very arrogant.

"White Ape."

Shen Qiu waved his hand and motioned for the others to put down their blades.

If you guessed correctly, the miraculous white monkey in front of you is very likely to be the protagonist of the director's adventure and sword dancing by the hot spring under the white ape.

"I guess it's the fairy family's pet."

Shen Qiu said to the people around him.

He glanced at Zhang Lan, who understood very well, bypassed the fire, took out a snack from the car, and handed it to the white monkey who was eating dried fruits by the campfire and looking at everyone with his eyes.

It's just that Zhang Lan's hand was just five feet close to the white monkey, when the wind flashed, and the playboy shrank his fingers and dodged the attack, but the snack in his hand fell to the ground.

By the light of the fire, Shen Qiu could see clearly.

In the hand of the white monkey, he was still holding a piece of green jade bamboo, with bamboo leaves that had not yet been removed, like a short sword.

It hit Zhang Lan's hand, and the shot was fast, unusually concise.

It's like swinging a stick indiscriminately, but it's closed in an instant, like a very good swordsman, and the action when he shoots is a little weird, but he can vaguely see a trace of swordsmanship.

Monkeys are good at imitation.

This sword law was learned from other places.

"Meow~"

Seeing Zhang Lan being attacked, the little white cat's teeth cracked, jumped over, crossed the firelight, and grabbed the lawless white monkey with its teeth and claws, the latter held the snack, and squeaked, waving the short bamboo pole in his hand.

After a few sticks, the little white cat was knocked to the ground, and the monkey who was not afraid of the ground that day was also upside down by Bai Ling'er's demonic mane.

Flicking his tail and dragging a bamboo pole, his movements are as fast as lightning.

Two ups and downs, and then rushed into the mountains and forests.

It's just that Shen Qiu's movements were faster, he got up and floated like a phantom, and the bell tied to his belt swayed from side to side, but he didn't make a sound, and rushed into the forest with the white monkey.

"Boom"

After a few breaths, there was a loud noise, startling the surrounding beasts to run around, and between the grass and trees, Shen Qiu jumped back to the campfire with the squeaky white monkey.

He used the Xuan True Qi to inject it into the monkey's body, and used the method of destroying the soul claw to tie the monkey's limbs.

The white cat, who had just suffered a loss, had to pounce on it, and then give this bold monkey a few paws, and was hugged back into his arms by Zhang Lan, who was quick-eyed, and the five-colored poisonous toad of Xuanyu jumped over, and under the order of the little witch, surrounded the white monkey.

The toad opened its mouth, and poisonous smoke wafted.

Qingqing whistled, four crested eagles fell from the night and landed around the mountains and forests, four pairs of eagle eyes stared at the strange white monkey, and two defensive circles were formed.

This monkey seemed to know very well, and after being dropped by Shen Qiu, it also curled up in a ball, not daring to move again.

"It's not a monster."

Shen Qiu sat down and stroked the monkey's smooth fur as he said to the others:

"Like the crested eagle, the five-colored poisonous toad, and the strange snake in the Taihang Mountain, they are all alien species, and there may have been supernatural thousands of years ago, but now, they are just smarter and more powerful beasts."

As he spoke, Shen Qiu stretched out his hand to Qingqing, and the little junior sister took out the Fan family emblem from her sleeve and handed it to the senior brother.

He took the round, square-hole emblem in his hand, picked up another piece of dried fruit, and stuffed it into the paw of the white monkey with a frightened face.

"Do you recognize this?"

Shen Qiu shook the emblem in front of the monkey's eyes, and said:

"Take us to your master."
