Five days passed in a flash, and the day agreed with Zhao Ting came, Zu Zhenlin and Li Cao had already bought dry food in advance, and asked Li Ji to take care of Lin Xi.

The sky was slightly bright, Zu Zhenlin and Li Cao got up, neatly packed up, and prepared to set off to meet Zhao Ting. Unexpectedly, Lin Xi actually got up early, opened the door of the house, and walked into the courtyard, although he had a smile on his face, but there was a faint worry in his eyes.

"Alas, didn't you say you didn't need to send it, why did you still get up?" Zu Zhenlin said with a smile.

"I couldn't sleep and got up, so I came out to deliver it. Lin Xi smiled.

"Okay, let's go to the door, and we brothers will not be polite to each other. Zu Zhenlin said.

"Then I won't send it anymore, little brother, I wish the two brothers a smooth journey and return as soon as possible. Lin Xi said with his fists clenched.

"I lend you good words, but you are in good health, so you should also pay attention to rest, and do not practice excessively. Li Cao couldn't help but admonish.

"Yes, I remember. Lin Xi nodded.

Zu Zhenlin and the two said goodbye to Lin Xi, went to the canteen to buy a few steamed buns for breakfast, and then rushed to the gate of the college. Zhao Ting was already waiting there, and there was another person beside her, both of whom were wearing men's clothes. Zhao Ting is wearing a green shirt, heroic, and she knows what it means to be a woman who does not let her eyebrows go. The woman beside her was dressed in white, with a slender figure, a handsome and beautiful face, and she was definitely a beauty, but her expression was cold and rejected.

Zhao Ting saw Zu Zhenlin and them, waved hello, and when the others came closer, she took the initiative to introduce: "This is my friend and senior sister, called Leng Xue." ”

Then he pointed to Zu Zhenlin and the two respectively, and then said: "Senior sister, his name is Zu Zhenlin, and his name is Li Cao, they are all good friends of mine, we knew each other before entering the academy, but we have experienced life and death together." ”

Leng Xue said coldly: "Since you already have someone to help, why do you still call me?"

"Senior sister, don't wronged me, although I want you to help, but it was Teacher Lin Songlin who let you out. Zhao Ting didn't care about Leng Xue's tone.

"The teacher is also really, in order to please the dean, you have to work hard for the apprentice. Leng Xue said dissatisfied.

Zhao Ting pretended not to hear it, in fact, she met Teacher Lin Song because of Zu Zhenlin, who was not qualified to enter the academy at the beginning, but by chance she did a good deed and was appreciated by the dean, so she made an exception to admit her, and the person who the dean ordered to do this was Lin Song.

At that time, after Lin Song finished speaking, he happened to go out, Zhao Ting came to the door to thank him, but he didn't see the deity, and happened to see Leng Xue who came to the yard to get something. It was the first time they met, but because Leng Xue had an indifferent personality and didn't like to talk, the two didn't say a few words.

When Lin Song came back, Zhao Ting went to thank him again. After Lin Song understood, he only said that it was a trivial matter, not to mention that it was ordered by the dean, how dare he not do it? Zhao Ting still expressed his gratitude, Lin Song felt that Zhao Ting was real, so he begged her to help with one thing, that is, to be friends with his apprentice Leng Xue.

Lin Song was the teacher of the previous class, and there were several students who were talented and intelligent, and Leng Xue was one of them. However, Leng Xue's temperament was withdrawn and too cold, which made him, a teacher, a little worried, afraid that she would have obsessions, which would make her mood unstable and affect her practice, so Lin Song decided to introduce a few friends to his apprentice. Zhao Ting came to the door and became one of them. However, because of Leng Xue's temperament, the friendship between the two is really not deep. This time Zhao Ting went out, and Lin Song asked to bring cold snow after he found out.

"This time, I rely on my senior sister to take care of it. Zu Zhenlin bowed and saluted.

Li Cao didn't speak, and gave a salute with Zhenlin.

Leng Xue didn't respond, just nodded slightly, pulled the corners of her mouth, and took it as a response.

"Don't worry about it, Senior Sister Leng is this kind of character, not for you. Zhao Ting explained.

"It's fine. Zu Zhenlin said softly.

Li Cao also shook his head, indicating that it was okay.

The four of them didn't say much, and began to set off on the road, under the leadership of Zhao Ting, to the southeast. All the way, instead of taking the official road, but the barren mountain path, over the mountains and mountains, day and night. Only when Li Cao was exhausted did he stop to rest for half a day.

After a month, Zhao Ting and the others finally arrived near the Dongyao Mountain Range, and they could see that the mountains were endless and the mountains were stacked on top of each other. The four of them were dusty, and they were all a little unkempt. Zhao Ting did not rush into the mountain, but found a small city, lived in an inn, and recuperated for two days.

Two days later, I set off at dawn, and after half a day, I came to the foot of a mountain called Niutoujiao, where there is a small mountain village, but dozens of families, this place is Zhao Ting and they heard about it in the city. There are many small mountain villages like Niutoujiao in Dongyao Mountain, and to put it bluntly, they are not mountain villages at all, because everyone gathers together just to have a place to do business and facilitate travel.

There are countless treasures growing in the Dongyao Mountains, which naturally attract cultivators to come, but since there is an organic fate in the mountains, there are naturally dangers, not only fierce divine beasts and monsters, but also the power of nature, even if they are practitioners, some can not wait to ignore them, so in order to avoid danger, they will find local experienced woodcutter hunters to lead the way, the so-called wealth is moving, and real money can make people forget about death. As a result, the villagers who were born here also discovered the way to make money, and they began to explore Dongyao Mountain for generations, looking for a safe way, and they were not afraid of life and death, so they really found the hidden way, and thus became the guide. Some of the people who lead the way are very far-sighted and don't want money, but choose to practice the exercises, although they are not high-level exercises, but they also make them different from before.

Since ancient times, if they have gained great treasures and do not want to leak their secrets, they will kill people and kill them. And some of the people who led the way were greedy, and although their own strength was insufficient, they used the power of heaven and earth to kill people and seize treasures. With a guide, there are naturally robbers, these people don't want to spend time looking for treasures, or can't deal with the sacred beasts that protect the treasures, so they wait for others to get their hands on it, and then come to a praying mantis to catch cicadas, and the yellow finch is behind.

As the saying goes, the predecessors planted trees and the descendants enjoyed the shade, and after countless people were killed and injured, the descendants also gained benefits and experience. In order to prevent practitioners from killing people and destroying their mouths, the people who lead the way will no longer talk about the dangers on the road. And in order to prevent the people who lead the way from being greedy and deliberately causing evil, when the practitioner enters the mountain, he will find two or three groups of people to lead the way. As for the robbers, they can only be cautious. In short, when you arrive at Dongyao Mountain, you will remember a sentence that the heart of guarding against people is indispensable, and everything has multiple eyes.

Before Zhao Ting set off, she had already been informed of the situation, so she came directly to Niutoujiao, wanting to find out if there was anyone who knew the location of the golden thunder eagle or the strange fruit she was looking for.

There are many stalls outside Niutoushan Village, some with a wine word written on the banner, while others write a quotation. The stall that writes wine is an ordinary stall for drinking, eating, and resting, and the stall that writes the quotation is the stall that leads the way. When Zhao Ting and the others came here, they found that there were many people coming in and out of the word booth, and it seemed that they were all practitioners who were going to enter the mountain. The four of them did not rush to inquire about the news, but walked around to find out the situation. After figuring it out, they went their separate ways, Zu Zhenlin and Li Cao together, Zhao Ting and Leng Xue together.

Zu Zhenlin and Li Cao visited a few stalls, but they found nothing, some people wanted to fish in troubled waters, but it did not match the details that Zhao Ting said, and they were recognized by the two.

"Let's go get something to eat and fill our stomachs. Zu Zhenlin proposed.

"Okay, let's wait until we find someone to eat. Li Cao said.

"Then if we're unlucky, don't think about eating today, and we may not be able to eat it in the next few days. It's okay, as the old saying goes, you can't eat hot tofu in a hurry, so don't be in a hurry for a while. Walk, eat. Zu Zhenlin walked towards a stall with a wine banner.

Li Cao was a little helpless, but according to what the eldest lady said, this area is the most likely place where there are people who lead the way to know what they are looking for, but there are not many small mountain villages like Ngau Tau Kok, if the sky is not merciful, they may have to find the last village to find the person they are looking for. The four of them rushed all the way to save time and spend it here. Now that it's already here, I don't care about more than one or two days. Therefore, he didn't say anything more and followed Zhenlin to eat.

Because after the meal, there were not many customers in the stall, Zu Zhenlin and they picked a clean-looking one and went in to eat.

Xiao Er was very diligent, and when he saw people coming to them, he immediately got up and went out, "Are you two eating or drinking?" Although the dishes are a little less, they are definitely delicious. None of the guests who have been here have not said good. Come, please ......."

There was a young man who was drinking at the stall, he was fat, his face was red, his eyes were very small, and there was only one line, and he turned back and echoed: "He is not lying, it is indeed good." ”

The fat man had a gentle face, and he spoke with a smile, laughing so hard that his eyes were gone.

"Thank you. Zu Zhenlin nodded.

"It's okay, look at your appearance, you're going into the mountains, right? Me too, if you meet in the mountains, you have to take care of it." The obese man is familiar.

"Definitely. Zu Zhenlin smiled perfunctorily and didn't take it seriously.

The fat man smiled and turned around and chatted with his tablemate.

After Zu Zhenlin and Li Cao sat down, they ordered flatbread to satisfy their hunger, and then ordered a chicken, two vegetarian dishes, and two bowls of wine. This small stall sells wine in bowls, saying that although the wine is good, it is easy to get drunk, so the two of them want two bowls to taste first.

After a while, Xiao Er brought the meal and poured two bowls of wine. The dish is fine, not very brilliant. The wine is eye-catching, the wine is clear and transparent, and the smell is fragrant.

Zu Zhenlin couldn't help but take a sip, there was no strong stimulation, the entrance was soft, the mouth was sweet, and the aftertaste was delicious, "It's really good." ”

"Really? Then I'll try it too. After Li Cao finished drinking, he also nodded in praise.

Zu Zhenlin drank a bowl directly and shouted, "Little Er, another bowl." ”

Xiao Er was kind, and when he saw this, he reminded softly: "This son, although our wine doesn't feel like much to drink, but it has a lot of stamina, you drink so violently all of a sudden, it's easy to get drunk, so don't drink it." ”

"It's okay, pour another bowl, I'll drink it slowly. Zu Zhenlin said.

Xiao Er could only pour him another bowl.

Zu Zhenlin and Li Cao began to eat and drink at the same time, neither of them was considered to be a good drinker, and slowly began to turn rosy.

"This wine is really strong, so don't drink it. If you are drunk, it is not good to delay finding someone. Li Cao persuaded.

"Know, won't drink anymore. Do you say that anyone knows about the Golden Thunder Eagle?" Zu Zhenlin said a little vaguely.

"How do I know?" said Li Cao.

The man who was eating at the same table with the fat man came over and asked with a smile, "Dare to ask the two of you, but you are looking for a big eagle full of gold?" Oh, by the way, the head, mouth and claws of the eagle are all silver. ”

"You know?" said Zu Zhenlin in surprise.

"If so, then I just know. The man replied.

It's really hard to find a place to break through the iron shoes, and it takes no effort to get it.
