Chapter 16: Odd
As the night passed, the village, which had been green yesterday, was covered in a layer of white, and light snow was falling in the sky, and the snow on the road was up to the ankles.
A few daughters-in-law who got up early to do laundry were shivering with cold holding a large basin of clothes, why did it start snowing? This will be the beginning of winter, and in previous years, it would not snow until around the wax moon.
After adding a piece of clothing, several people came to the river together, there is a small river in Muyun Village, and the water flows down from Muyun Mountain through several villages.
"Auntie, why does this river seem to have risen a lot? There were seven more steps in the first two days. ”
In order to facilitate the women's laundry, the village deliberately used bluestone slabs to make a stone step three zhang wide. There are twelve steps, and in the past, the water did not pass the four or five stone slabs, but the stone slabs that can be seen today are only five steps.
The aunt who was asked nodded, she also remembered that the water level didn't seem to be so deep two days ago, "This is really strange, it started to snow before the wax moon, and the river was inexplicably rising, but fortunately it didn't freeze." ”
Another elderly lady pounded the dirty clothes on the slate hard, and panted and said, "Hurry up and go home after washing, there was a tiger roar last night, which scared me." Look at the mountain."
Everyone followed the eldest lady's gaze to the left, and Muyun Mountain, which was originally shrouded in clouds and mist, actually revealed its true face. The real Muyun Mountain is not as high as they imagined, otherwise there would not be so many royal nobles hunting on Muyun Mountain hundreds of years earlier. In addition to the steep mountain, the whole mountain has four or five hundred zhang, because of the snow, the lower half of the mountain is white, the higher the up, the trees are lush and green, a piece of green.
"...... this?"
"Don't do this, hurry up and wash up and go home, I think this year's strange things are piling up, it's not a good sign."
The clothes on the hands of the eldest lady were almost washed, and everyone quickly accelerated the movements of their hands when they saw it, who dared to be alone at this time, and rushed back after washing the clothes in their hands in a hurry, no matter how safe the home is better than the outside.
People outside were panicking, and Si Tu was sleeping soundly on the bed. Liu Chunhua and Qi Nianqiu took a look from time to time, because Si Tu used the breathing technique before escaping, and they couldn't feel the slightest bit of vitality, and they didn't feel at ease if they didn't probe their nose in person.
Qi Nianqiu estimated that Si Tu was injured by the tiger demon on the mountain, and when she moved here, she also probed the strength of the other party, and she could barely be regarded as a middle-level monster, if she came to the door, she was not without the ability to fight after taking the medicine. In this situation, it is safer to stay here. It's just that I don't know if there is a more powerful demon in the other phantom array, if it is......
Qi Nianqiu raised his head and was surprised to find that Yunding had actually disappeared, and Muyun Mountain only had a touch of green on the top of his head. She can understand this, the tiger demon's cave is on the top of the mountain, and it absorbs spiritual energy all year round to bless the surrounding grass and trees.
But has the phantom array been removed? I don't know what existed in that array, whether this heavy snow would have something to do with the disappearance of the cloud top. The snow was strange everywhere, and it made her sit still.
Qi Nianqiu's current body can't go up the mountain to investigate, looking at the green Qi Nianqiu on Muyun Mountain, he frowned, and the bones of his hand holding the medicine bottle were pale. There were still three pills in the bottle, and after hesitating, she still poured one out, and if it was wasted, it would be wasted, and if you were not afraid of ten thousand, you were afraid of what happened.
In the teapot was the hot water that Liu Chunhua had just boiled, and took another bottle and filled it with hot water, Qi Nianqiu threw the medicine he took out into it, and carefully plugged the mouth of the bottle with a wooden cork. shook it, and made sure that the medicine was chemical, and then put it away closely. Her body was badly damaged, and if she swallowed this medicine, it would take her a while to dissolve and absorb the medicinal power. Prepare in advance, if the tiger demon knocks on the door, it will not be in a hurry. It's just that if this medicine is dissolved, the power of this medicine will only last for three days, I hope it will not be used......
At the top of Muyun Mountain, Hu Xiaodong sat cross-legged on the stone bed with his bare arms and knees to meditate, a defensive barrier was covered with a radius of five meters, and a person in a gray robe stood outside the barrier and hung his head slightly and said, "Master, it is snowing under the mountain, I'm afraid it is strange." ”
That's right, a human being, a real human being. His name is Xia Xu, four hundred years ago, he heard that there were gods and demons on Muyun Mountain, and he came to learn from his teacher. Xia Xu was able to stay in Muyun Mountain thanks to Hu Bugui, if it weren't for the fight between Hu Bugui and Hu Xiaotian, according to Hu Xiaotian's hatred of human beings, where could Xia Xu still see today's sun, he would have been bitten to death by Hu Xiaotian and hung up in the hanging corpse forest to be with those old friends.
Xia Xu begged for half a moon at the gate of the Tiger Roaring Heavenly Cave Mansion, and when he was thirsty and hungry, he ate the wild fruits on the mountain to satisfy his hunger. Hu Xiaotian was so worn out that he had no choice but to accept him into the cave to do the work of sprinkling and sweeping, and the demon he was born with didn't know what human cultivation methods were, and only randomly pointed out some of his own cultivation experience. For the rest of the time, Hu Xiaotian didn't care about him, and Xia Xu was also angry, and he entered the door in just ten years. While cultivating, he took care of Tiger Roaring's daily life, and they lived together for more than 400 years.
Xia Xu looked no more than thirty years old, with a large red mark on the right side of his face, and his appearance was not handsome, but a little terrifying, but it was much better than when he first came to Muyun Mountain.
He has had a disease on his face since he was a child, half of his face is covered with poisonous sores, and he is called yin and yang face wherever he goes. Although most of the toxins have been removed after hundreds of years of practice, they can't get rid of the remaining red marks. Maybe that's why he'd wanted to get out of the mortal body in his early years, but now he just wanted to go further, and he didn't care much about the little thing on his face.
"When is it snowing?" Hu Xiaodong took out an ink-colored robe and draped it over his body, withdrew the enchantment, and his face was very impatient. He doesn't like snowy days, and although a winter is a blink of an eye for him, he just hates the white space everywhere.
Xia Xu knew that Hu Xiaodong liked to be lively, and the animals on the mountain didn't like to move in this snowy day, so it was torture for Hu Xiaodong. After pondering for a moment, Xia Xu took out two books from his arms and handed them to Hu Xiaodong, and then replied in a deep voice: "The beginning of winter has just passed, and I have been to explore, this snow is not wide, only covering a radius of fifteen miles. I can't find the problem because my strength is still shallow, so Master wants to investigate it carefully? ”
Hu Xiaodong took the book, his face was better, and he leaned on the stone bed and said lazily, "Forget it, Zuo is just some little demons who don't enter the stream, and they don't know how to practice well all day long." You've worked hard, go down and rest, and help me find a few more books when I'm free. ”
"Yes"
Xia Xu stiffened his face, for fear of laughing. I don't know who doesn't practice well.,Let him find a book all day long.,Is this a big demon to rely on the book.。
Hu Xiaodong didn't think about it so much, he didn't have any fun in retreat for two hundred years, and reading the book was his only pastime left in his demon life.
