——Year 6——

But it is said that the golden cicada and his party left the sacrificial country, and then passed through the country of this bowl, winter goes to spring and comes again for another year, the grass buds are green everywhere, the willow eyes are full of embankment green, a ridge of peach blossoms and red brocade raccoon, half a stream of smoke and water is blue and bright, several gardens are green and dark, a wind and rain and dusk.

The four princesses of the West Sea, Ao Cunxin, originally thought that this westward journey was a trip to kill demons and demons along the way, and to hunt ghosts and monsters, and she was quite looking forward to it, and she didn't want to have encountered any demons and evil in the past half a year, so she complained to Ao Lie when she was bored.

Ao Lie said helplessly: "Bai Jingjing and Pearl don't mention, just seeing our three dragon clans in the West Sea here, the slightest wise person among the demons will flee from the wind, how dare they come to provoke?" If there is enough power to suppress the three of us, it is impossible to bully the juniors. ”

Ao Cun said in his heart: "Then you want to order this bald man to speed up the trip?" From here to the west, if the clouds and fog are lifted, it will take three or five days at most, right? Looking at his current posture, it seems that he will go for three or five years. ”

"I know~" Ao Yu raised his hands and said in a soft tone: "Golden cicada meat...... Fleshy, there is no way to ride the clouds~"

“…… It's a mortal fetus with the naked eye. Bai Jingjing, who was feeding her with dried fish, said helplessly.

Pearl didn't react and continued to clear the way ahead - smoothing out the bumps along the way with a large shield.

"At most, it's just that the spell is ineffective," Ao Cun thought about it for a while, and then said, "Why don't you show up and carry him?" ”

"Amai Treya Buddha," the golden cicada immediately responded, "This is a very good discussion!" ”

"Don't even think about it!" Ao Lie also responded at the same time.

"......" Everyone was silent, except for the sound of Ao Yu chewing small dried fish.

"Princess Qiyu," a bone-faced servant appeared to break the silence and reported to Bai Jingjing: "Scout report, there is only one mountain village within a radius of dozens of miles, if you want to rush there, I'm afraid it's already late at night, it's better for the princess to rest for a while, and we will immediately build a house on the spot." ”

"Go build it." Bai Jingjing ordered the bone-faced servant to retreat, turned around and grabbed the horse that the golden cicada was riding to stop it.

The golden cicada turned over and dismounted, and found a large stone nearby, spread the futon and meditated and chanted.

"If it weren't for the need to stay overnight, this trip would have been at least twice as fast." Ao Cunxin looked at him and said.

"The details are inconvenient to explain," Ao Lie shook his head: "Brother can only say that this speed is the most suitable for now." ”

"Oh?" The fourth princess of Xihai stared at the third prince thoughtfully, but she didn't know the essentials for a while.

"Third Prince," because the group decided to stop camping, the pearl that opened the road in front also turned around, carrying something in his hand: "I found ...... ahead"

Whew-

As if crossing a certain line, the "thing" in the hands of the sea patrol general suddenly burned, and in the blink of an eye, it was directly turned into ashes and scattered.

“…… A hat. "Pearl will finish speaking.

"When it burned, I knew that it was some kind of clothing decoration," Ao Lie shook his head: "At present, even the immortal jewelry obtained from the Heavenly Court will not be spared, and it is inconvenient for me to bring the real immortal clothes and divine armor to you to try." ”

"I'll wear my own shell armor," Pearl said, "This style is common in bandits and robbers, and there are probably strongmen's nests in the nearby mountains and forests." ”

"Strongman?" Bai Jingjing raised her hand and summoned a thin bony servant to question.

"Princess, there are no strongmen's nests within a hundred miles," the bone-faced servant paused, "unless that mountain village is their residence." ”

"People, you can't eat it." Ao Yu seemed uninterested.

"Amai Buddha," Jin Chanzi said, "If you are not strong, you will come to be weak?" If the monk and the spirit are not successful, they will come to mortals? ”

Ao Lie knew the origin of the golden cicada, and Bai Jingjing also vaguely guessed that the two looked at each other, if it was really a group of mortal robbers, who didn't know the immortals, didn't argue about Long Wei, and started to move, one confiscated would be a life.

After all, the group didn't look very intimidating at the moment, it looked like a pair of rich sisters with two strangely dressed maids, plus a capable guard, and a monk who had somehow mixed up.

Over there, Ao Cun Xin also said, "What a robber! If you dare to come, you will be slashed with a single stroke of the 'Shadowless Knife'! ”

You can't kill yourself, but if you show your original form and scare them away, and if it spreads out in the future, I'm afraid that the Dragon Kingdom of the West Sea will become a laughing stock - why can't the three princes and princesses be present against a group of mortal robbers?

"Spread out the scouts and patrol a wider area," Bai Jingjing ordered to the bone, "Arrest and tie up the robbers when they approach, but don't hurt their lives. ”

"Yes." The skinny face responded and fled into the shadows, and then more than a dozen strong bones appeared, and began to cut down trees and stones to build houses.

For the time being, there is only one way to do it, Ao Lie thought with a little apprehension.

————

Not to mention that the golden cicada and his party built a house to rest, just say that in this mountain, there is indeed a group of strong people, but they do not belong to the mountain village, they were originally just passing by, inhabiting a hidden cave, ready to turn around tomorrow and head north, but when it was close to night, the person in charge of the wind quietly rushed back, saying that there was a great good thing.

"What's good?" The leader of the strongman was a strong man over forty years old, with a fleshy face and a tall figure, and many scars on his body could be seen from the simple leather armor, and he carried a large ring knife in his hand: "If it is a matter of robbing the road and cutting the path, there is no need to mention it in the future." ”

They originally gathered in the deep mountains of Chechi country, but because they plundered a small village, they were hit by the warrior monks of that country, but fortunately they did not kill or injure people at that time, so those warrior monks did not rush to kill them all, but after taking away their accumulated stolen goods, they forced them to either leave Chechi country, or go with them to the temple to work as coolies.

If you are willing to work, why do you end up in the grass? The leader left Chechi with a group of subordinates, made a detour from the southern Yuetuo country, and finally arrived in the middle of the Benbo country.

Because of the perennial fighting between the four eastern countries, the people in the vicinity are extremely fierce, and if they go into a village and shout, "We are robbers!" Give them all over! However, the villagers will not flee in surprise as they did when the car is late, and most of them will grab their weapons and farm tools to fight them to the death.

In desperation, the leader and his men turned from "robbers" to "thieves", specializing in stealing the town's goods, only to find out that they had been in the wrong business for several years.

With the help of shadows, blind spots, and even blind spots created when guarding distractions, thieves can even infiltrate government warehouses.

However, due to the unfamiliarity of life, even if he got the luxuries, he couldn't make a move, so he specifically looked for the arsenal granary to steal equipment and food, but unexpectedly, the town lieutenant thought that there was a traitor and the enemy, and a large number of soldiers closed the city to search for it, and a group of thieves had to move again.

At this time, it is said that the lost Buddha treasures of the Sai Kingdom reappeared, and the four countries withdrew their troops, so the number of officers and soldiers who captured them increased, and the leader and his men had to finally flee all the way out of the country.

In the deserted land, no matter how high their ability to rob and steal is, it is useless, surviving in the wild, exploring the jungle, using local materials, and the ability to do their job has grown a lot.

Not long ago, they passed through the mountain village to spend the night, and they were about to take away the village's wealth before leaving, but they encountered a group of injured leopard spirits surrounding the mountain village.

How can mortals compete with youkai? The leader led his men and the mountain people to resist with the idea of fighting to the death, only to find that they had completely fallen into the wrong line.

Because usually either stealing and robbing, or fleeing in embarrassment, there is no chance to fight head-on, and when there is no way to retreat and no escape, when he confronts those leopard spirits head-on, the leader suddenly finds that he is quite handsome, and all his subordinates are outstanding soldiers.

With the strong bows and spears of the mountain people and the advantages of the terrain, from dusk to early morning, most of the hundreds of leopard spirits were killed and wounded, and finally retreated, while a group of men and villagers were injured many times, not even disabled.

If they were seen by the pursuers of Chechi or Benbo at this time, most of them would not recognize this group of vaguely formed soldiers as the prisoners they had chased.

"I'm so strong, why do I need to look up to others?" When the leader left the mountain village, he said proudly: "I heard that there is no one to govern thousands of miles west of this place, so why should we just start the country here and become king?" ”

"But you don't have a citizen." That day, the head of the mountain village laughed at him.

"This king will arrest you as a citizen!" The leader said angrily.

"Oh?" The village chief, because he had fought side by side before, did not have much objection to this, but only wrote a few words: "This is the name of a nearby place, if you recognize these words, what does it matter if you are the prime minister?" Otherwise, what is the use of a king who can't even come up with a country name? ”

When the leader looked at it, he saw that the words were "Qilin Mountain, Pig Cave".

The leader hesitated for a long time, but he only recognized the words "mountain, cave", and did not dare to pronounce "Lulu Mountain, Solve the Dog Cave" to shame, and finally walked away in anger.

At this time, he and his subordinates were resting in this "dog cave".

"It's not a robbery," the messenger said, "There is a team that looks like an immortal family from the east, why don't you come and recognize that pair of characters, and then give us a country name." ”

"Please...... No, I'll go in person, and then call everyone along," the leader stood up and said, "If it's a heavenly immortal, it just shows the prestige of the country." ”

————

“…… What's going on? When the sturdy bones were halfway up the temporary house, dozens of scouts and hundreds of grass robbers came to the vicinity of the camp, and Ao Lie was quite surprised to see it.

"Tell the third prince," the leader said, "This group of thieves rushed down the mountain, saying that they wanted to invite the princes and princesses to come as guests, and we were confronting him, but when we saw a red cloud shouting 'poison, harm' floated over, these people all fell soft, and had to bet all of them to come over." ”

"Dang, really a guest!" The strong man who looked like the leader defended himself loudly: "We want to start a country here and become king, so I hereby ask you immortals to give you a country name!" ”

"Oh?" Ao Lie ignored the sympathetic gazes of his companions looking at the grass king, looked at the half-built houses and pillars, and said, "Then it will be called 'Pillar Country'." ”

"Zhu Ziguo? Good name, thank you to this immortal family. The leader rejoiced.
