Chapter 2 Descending the Mountain and Encountering the White Tiger
The location of Qinghua Mountain is extremely high, and the starry sky seems to be within reach.
"In three years, this should be the last day to look at the stars here," Qi Kang sighed to himself.
Suddenly, there was some reluctance in my heart, and I wanted to stop time at this moment.
Tonight is destined to be a sleepless night. With the window open, Qi Kang lay quietly on the bed and looked out.
Suddenly, a white light streaked across the sky......
"That's ...... Meteor"?
Qi Kang stood up abruptly and walked quickly to the window.
I have been on this Qinghua Mountain for three years, and it is the first time I have seen a meteor passing by, which is really beautiful.
I once heard people say that if you make a wish on a shooting star, your wish can come true.
But Qi Kang didn't. His only wish is that he can have a healthy body, which can be like ordinary people. But his wish was obviously very extravagant, and even Divine Doctor Xue was helpless, let alone a meteor.
The mountain road is winding, the scenery on both sides of the river is like a picturesque corridor, and the mountain stream is speeding down, rippling with beautiful water splashes, like the true meaning of life, never stopping.
I walked this strange path three years ago, and it is so strange now.
It was his dream to leave here, and now he is reluctant to leave.
The young man was dressed in a coarse gray shirt, carrying a square burden on his back, and a short knife stuck in his waist, and walked alone between the paths of this mountain stream.
At the top of the mountain, an old man kept leaning down and looking down, his eyes full of worry.
Qi Kang looked at the mountain scenery, walked the winding mountain path, breathed in the fresh air of the dark fragrance, and listened to the sound of the birds singing from the forest, which was like a picturesque poem.
The mountain road is rugged, but fortunately, there have been many people who have traveled back and forth to seek medical advice, making this mountain road much easier.
After half a day's work, Qi Kang was about to reach the foot of the mountain.
Suddenly, the wind and clouds in the sky changed, and the wind suddenly rose, and the sky was covered with dark clouds, as if it was about to rain.
"What the hell is this weather, it was fine just now, how did it change all of a sudden, it's really not a good sign." Qi Kang sighed secretly!
"You have to find a cave to shelter from the rain," Qi Kang walked towards the mountain wall, seeing if there was any shelter from the rain along the way.
Qi Kang vaguely listened to someone talking in front of him and down the slope.
"There's no road here, how can there be any people?" Qi Kang muttered, deciding to go over and see what was going on.
"Boss, it looks like your catastrophe is coming soon."
"You also protect the Dharma for me, if the tribulation is successful, you will definitely break the barrier of this Qinghua Mountain."
The clear words reached Qi Kang's ears, and Qi Kang was shocked when he fixed his eyes, feeling that his scalp was numb and his hair was about to stand up.
"The beast in the mountains actually spits out people's words, which is terrifying", Qi Kang's heart was pounding, and he involuntarily squatted down, carefully hiding himself.
Located on a hillside, Qikang is full of vegetation and excellent concealment.
At the bottom of the hillside, there is a clearing, and the white tiger has been squatting in the middle, and the white tiger's face is constantly flickering between people and tigers.
Not far from the white tiger there was a wolf and a bear, unusually tall, more than twice as big as the usual wolf bear.
The wolf's eyes were red, his hair was yellow, his face was hideous, and his two fangs were a little creature when he was exposed, and the wolf's claws were much bigger than an adult's fist.
The brown bear was even bigger, the size of a bear's paw the size of a basin, so you can imagine how powerful it must be.
The two monsters were looking at the white tiger in the clearing, perhaps envy, or jealousy.
Dark clouds swirled in the air, as if gathering energy. In the dark clouds, there was a muffled thunder.
"Breaking the barrier of Qinghua Mountain"? Qi Kang, who had calmed down, suddenly remembered the words of the white tiger.
"I once heard Xue Lao mention that there is an enchantment on this Qinghua Mountain, so it is difficult for demons and monsters to enter",
Qi Kang has never taken these words seriously, enchantment, no matter what, how can he not see anything after he has been on Qinghua Mountain for three years.
Demons and monsters are even more incorrect, I always think it's just a joke, just to scare children.
However, what he saw in front of him really frightened Qi Kang, it turned out that what Xue Lao said was true.
"As the White Tiger said just now, if the so-called tribulation is successful, then Xue Lao Mo doesn't want to ......", thinking of this, Qi Kang sweated.
"Could it be that there is some divine weapon on this Qinghua Mountain, the elixir of life", a series of questions appeared in Qi Kang's mind.
The three monsters below were silent, just silently waiting, waiting for the arrival of the catastrophe.
It can be seen from the eyes of the white tiger that the white tiger at this moment is extremely nervous and excited, and the three monsters are staring intently at the dark clouds swirling above.
Several bolts of lightning burst out of the sky, the light was dazzling, and then a muffled thunder sounded, deafening. The lightning slashed at the white tiger, the white tiger's face was extremely painful, and the lightning slashed on the white tiger for a few seconds.
The white tiger's eyes widened, and with a miserable scream, he crawled to the ground, unable to move, and black smoke rose from his body.
After the lightning, the sky suddenly cleared, and the dark clouds in the sky disappeared in an instant.
"Could it be that this white tiger was just hacked to death by thunder?" Qi Kang was a little incredulous. After all, it's still a demon, and the mana should be very high, how can it be easily hacked to death.
"Big brother, big brother", the two beasts next to him pounced and screamed again and again.
"It seems that this white tiger was really killed by that thunder, and he can't live for his own evil, see how you can break the barrier of Qinghua Mountain."
Qi Kang was overjoyed in his heart and slowly retreated into the mountain road. Trot all the way down the hill.
Under the mountain, above the official road.
Xue Lao once explained that after going down the mountain, he walked north along the official road, and it took about two days to reach Qingfeng Town.
Qi Kang had just been jumped by the White Tiger Robbery, and he didn't dare to stop, so he went north along the official road.
"Bell Bell Bell ......" A pleasant bell sound came from behind him.
Qi Kang looked back and saw that an old man in cloth was hurrying here on a horse, the car was full of goods, and it seemed that the goods were passing through here.
"Appeal ......"
"You little baby, where do you live, is this a place where you can come as a child?" The old man stopped at Qi Kang's side in the carriage and asked.
"I'm going to Qingfeng Town to look for relatives, passing through here, I don't know ......," Qi Kang said respectfully.
"There are a lot of demon pythons here, you hurry up and get into my carriage and leave this place quickly", the old man looked nervous as he spoke.
Qi Kang didn't stop, if he hadn't seen it with his own eyes, he wouldn't have believed what the old man said.
Qi Kang turned over and sat down beside the old man.
"Drive the ......," the old man whipped his horse, and the horse rushed forward as if frightened.
After walking for about an hour, I looked back at Qinghua Mountain, which had become a little blurry at this moment. The old man then stopped the horse.
Qi Kang looked at the old man's expression and softened, and said, "Old uncle, how do you know that there are monsters on Qinghua Mountain?"
"I'm delivering to the ferry, which is north of Qingfeng Town. I often pass by at the foot of Qinghua Mountain, and I have met the demon beast infested".
"Is that monster beast powerful," Qi Kang asked.
Speaking of demon beasts, Qi Kang pretended not to know, that is, he looked at it from a distance, but he had never seen the true strength of demon beasts with his own eyes.
"Strange to say, I have been passing by here for many years, but I have never heard of anyone dying here, but most of the horses were eaten, but the people were unharmed. Last time I saw a huge wolf, red-eyed and yellow-haired, fierce, terrible, and took my horses away." The old man sighed and shook his head.
Hearing what the old man said, Qi Kang guessed that if this demon beast didn't eat people, it must have something to do with their cultivation, could it be that if they ate people, they wouldn't be able to cross the catastrophe............?
Although Qi Kang is young, his thinking is far beyond that of people of his age, just because he usually has nothing to do all day, but his mind has become extremely active.
"Fortunately, the demon beast is dead, and Xue Lao will be able to live in peace", Qi Kang looked into the distance, let go of the demon beast in his heart, and became full of passion again, and finally could experience life in the world.
"When are we going to get to Breeze Town?"
"Tomorrow morning is coming".
"Hurry at night"?
"The official road is easy to walk, the road is smooth, and you can slow down at night."
In front of the carriage were placed this shabby coat and a coarse quilt, which must have been used by the old man for his evening rest.
Qi Kang basically didn't sleep all night last night, taking advantage of the bumpy strength on the horse, Qi Kang leaned on the quilt and fell asleep groggily.
"Cooo......", Qi Kang, who had been asleep for a long time, woke up from hunger in his belly, and the sky had gradually darkened.
The old man was still hurrying non-stop, and when he saw Qi Kang sitting up, he smiled slightly.
took out a dry biscuit from Kuang Zhong next to him and handed it to Qi Kang, Qi Kang touched his head with one hand and took the dry biscuit with the other, and smiled awkwardly.
After taking the dry cake, Qi Hao devoured it, and he also brought some steamed buns in his luggage, but after being on the mountain for so long, he really hadn't eaten this dry cake.
"Eat slowly, drink saliva". The old man also handed a heavy gourd to Qi Kang. Qi Kang was also unceremonious, and drank it with a grunt.
On Qinghua Mountain, I always heard Xue Lao say that people in the world are sinister, and there are always more bad people than good people. I met such a good person when I came out for the first time, and I guess what Xue Lao said was not entirely right.
The old man started to catch up with the car in the morning, and he didn't stop all the way, and he was tired from it.
Qi Kang smiled: "Uncle, why don't you rest for a while, how about I catch the car for you for a while?"
"You little baby, can you also drive a carriage?" the old man smiled indifferently.
"I see that it is quite easy for you to drive the carriage, you can let me try, you see that you have been in a hurry for a day, go and rest for a while."
The old man thought to himself: "This little baby is quite distressing, since he asked for it, it must not be difficult for him."
"Woo...... , Okay, you come and try it, I just have a good rest, anyway, just go straight along the official road." The old man handed the reins in his hand to Qi Kang, and the two exchanged places.
"Driving the ......" Qi Kang followed the old man's example and drove up the carriage, but he looked good.
The old man curled up on the quilt and said, "This horse knows the way, you just look at it, then I'll sleep for a while."
"Okay, you can just sleep on yours", Qi Kang was in high spirits, waving the whip in his hand.
