Chapter Forty-Seven: Yao Cao Bijun (1)

Luohuayin is a canyon at the junction of Yunnan and Guizhou, the mouth of the valley is full of miasma for a long time, no one dares to care, only in early summer when the southeast trade wind blows, can temporarily retreat from the miasma, then you can see a narrow stream, only allow a boat to pass, the oars can not be deployed at all, the people on the boat only use their arms to paddle forward, the more the stream is more abundant, but the water surface is more turbid, the green duckweed mixed with the rotten dead branches and leaves emit a foul smell.

Looking up at the sky, the ashes are stagnant, looking around, the stone walls are clear, and the dirty and smelly underwater seems to be suddenly rising at any time, and this lonely boat seems to be floating to the netherworld that no longer belongs to the world. Yan Xueqian felt a strong chill and oppression that was almost breathless, shivered, and moved her body closer to Yu Wenbin, Yu Wenbin also sensed the panic and uneasiness in her heart, so she put her hand on her hand: "Don't be afraid, I'm here." ”

When the line was not long, a puff of luxuriant growth of blue lotus leaves stopped in front of him, against the way of the boat, Yu Wenbin stood up: "We have arrived", and then grabbed Yan Xueqian's waist, toe lightly, a few ups and downs, the two have stood on the opposite bank, the eyes suddenly opened, and changed the world: the smoke and haze are scattered, the sun and the moon shake the light, the green pine and green willows, the green cypress and bamboo, the geese fall and the warbler flies, and the crane soars.

Yu Wenbin said: "This place is called Baicao Stream, and the world often says, 'If you want not to die, you need to find Baicao Stream', although it is an exaggerated rumor in the world, it is said that this stream has included all kinds of rare medicinal materials in the human world. ”

Yan Xueqian suddenly saw this beautiful scenery, his mind was open, he was overjoyed, and occasionally saw a cluster of red plants with straight branches and thorns, and the calyxes formed a huge funnel-shaped red plant, and the butterflies and bees lingered around it, but he didn't dare to get close, he felt very strange, and was about to reach out to pick it, but was stopped by Yu Wenbin: "You first see what is in that funnel." Yan Xueqian looked down at the heart of the flower, it was filled with honey-like syrup, sweet and pleasant, and finally there was a colorful butterfly that could not resist the temptation of the aroma, slightly closer, the leakage of the red flower suddenly expanded, swallowed the colorful butterfly in one bite, the petals were tightly closed, and there was a sound that seemed to be human chewing, and after a while, the calyx opened again, and the butterfly had been eaten cleanly.

"What a sinister flower," Yan Xueqian felt a burst of hair in her heart, "If I had picked it just now, wouldn't it have bitten off my finger?" Yu Wenbin smiled: "It doesn't have so much strength, but you want it to eat any insect, it is naturally extremely poisonous, if you are bitten by it, I will spend a lot of effort to help you detoxify." ”

Yan Xueqian no longer paid attention to the evil flower, and wanted to move on, but felt that the corners of his skirt seemed to be pulled by nothing, and when he looked down, he was held in the mouth by a fat and white little monster, this strange looked like a radish at first glance, several verdant broad-leaved leaves were straight on his head, and a pair of big eyes looked at Yan Xueqian with affection, which was quite funny, Yan Xueqian couldn't help but want to reach out and touch it, but it jumped away, and stuck out his tongue at Yan Xueqian, Yan Xueqian also made a grimace at it, and was about to catch it, But he was stopped by Yu Wenbin again: "Don't pay attention to it, this monster is a snow ginseng essence cultivated for thousands of years, and it is used to playing tricks on people, always teasing people to catch it, and then taking people around in circles, until that person is completely lost, it will not stop." ”

"Then if you catch it and eat it, won't it be able to prolong its life?" Yan Xueqian suddenly flew up and pounced towards the little elf, but it stretched out two thin legs, ran as fast as it could, and disappeared into the soil as soon as it escaped, and a few ridiculous branches and leaves on its head became its most perfect disguise.

Yu Wenbin stepped forward and said, "Look! If it's so easy to catch, I won't wait for you to come! ”

Yan Xueqian was about to leave, and the little thing came up to provoke it again, Yu Wenbin threw an osmanthus candy at it, and the monster picked it up and ate it, so he didn't entangle.

Passing through the grass stream, there were dense purple vines blocking the way, Yan Xueqian reached out to pull it impatiently, but saw those vines trembling, and made a human-like laughter, Yan Xueqian was startled, and took a few steps back to hide behind Yu Wenbin.

Yu Wenbin said: "These trees are called spider purple dill, and they are most afraid that humans will touch it, and the tighter it will be entangled. Saying that, she took out a box of rouge from her sleeve, and Yan Xueqian was happy when she saw it: "You are not ashamed, but a big man brings some things for the girl's family." Yu Wenbin ignored her, and poured all the boxes of rouge on the rhizomes of the vines, and after a while, the vines gathered their branches and leaves as if they were very useful, making way for them.

Yan Xueqian said incredulously: "It seems that these vines are mothers, and they also love fat powder." ”

Yu Wenbin said: "Luo Huayin's plants are not ordinary, most of them have been cultivated. ”

Yan Xueqian said: "It seems that you are very familiar with this place? ”

Yu Wenbin said with a smile: "In the early years, I always followed her here to collect medicine. ”

Yan Xueqian naturally knew who "she" meant, her heart was slightly sour, and she didn't say anything more.

Walking and walking, a towering ancient tree broke into view, I don't know what kind of tree it is, the body of the tree is so thick that it is not surrounded by ten people, the branches are densely drooping, the leaves are slender but into a rare dark purple, but the end of the branches and leaves is still hanging like a lantern-like silver fruit, the breeze blows, the fruit swings gently, but from it wafts out of the fine powder of fluorescent flashing, it is very beautiful.

There is a small pavilion under the ancient tree, a woman sits lazily in the pavilion and pours herself a drink, this woman does not look young, but she is dressed very fancy, wearing a red complicated court dress, the towering cloud bun is full of pearls and emeralds, the eyebrows are painted with gold powder to depict a delicate begonia, although it is not very beautiful, but the eyebrows are long and the eyes are long, but there is a charm of its own.

As soon as the woman saw Yuwenbin, she smiled: "Yuwen boy, why did it take so long to come to see me, I want to die sister!" The voice is pretending to be coquettish, but it is a male voice.

Yan Xueqian only felt a big disturbance when she heard this, and asked Yu Wenbin softly: "Is she a man or a woman?" ”

Yu Wenbin replied in a low voice: "She is the tree fairy of this thousand-year-old firefly locust, androgynous, but she likes to dress herself up as a woman, and the more others praise her beauty, the happier she is." ”

Cage Firefly Fairy smiled again: "This time, you didn't come with Concubine Yan's girl?" Still is...... New for old? It's so unconscionable! She narrowed her eyes sharply and stared at Yan Xueqian. Yan Xueqian was frightened by her, and hid behind Yu Wenbin.

"Hahaha...... the little girl is not frightened, compared with the temperament of the concubine Xiao Nizi!"

Yu Wenbin arched his hand and said, "Why should the Caged Firefly Immortal ask knowingly? I came to ask for medicine for her. ”

Cage Ying Xianleng said: "Could it be that little Nizi is poisoned?" Hehe, what a strange story, who else in this world can poison her? Her eyes rolled, "It doesn't matter if Xiao Nizi is dead, you and I can do a good thing, and we can live and live together." ”

Yu Wenbin arched his hand and said: "Yu Wenbin is a common man, how dare he dare to match the outstanding Caged Firefly Immortal?" Smell that you will be successful in a few days from the earth immortal to the heavenly immortal, can you wait for me, after a hundred and eighty years, I will also cultivate a golden body and fruit, at that time together the day and the sun will rise, this is the real double residence and amphibious, okay? ”

Cage Ying Xian said: "Yuwen boy is not ashamed, although my sister likes you very much, she will never miss the future for you, you still don't want to be delusional!" ”

Yan Xueqian heard it funny, thinking that anyone could hear that Yu Wenbin's words were perfunctory to her, but this tree fairy still listened to it, it was really a wooden head.

"Did you say enough was enough? Lao Tzu couldn't listen to a word anymore. A rude voice broke the scenery. Yan Xue followed the prestige and saw a red-haired and blue-faced man sitting at the stone table in the northeast corner, his eyes were like copper bells, and his nostrils were filled with a mouth, which was very vicious and ugly.

She looked at it again, and there were already a lot of people sitting here: next to a cluster of mandala flowers in the south sat a pale and thin middle-aged woman, wearing a green Luo shirt, apricot eyes and cherry lips, black hair like a waterfall, it can be imagined that she must have been beautiful when she was young, but what is puzzling is that the corners of this woman's eyes and eyebrows are all full of a perverse and cruel atmosphere, but there is a trace of grief and sadness between the flow of her eyes. Under the ginkgo tree next to her sat an old man with crane hair and a childish face, his eyes were bright, his back was straight and his shoulders were flat, his sleeves were wide and hanging to the ground, and he was quite a bit fairy-like. On the west side of the wooden table sat a middle-aged man with a face like a crown of jade, a middle-aged man in gorgeous clothes and a beautiful beard, with an elegant style, one hand leisurely dangling a folding fan, and the other hand fiddling with the chessboard on the wooden table, playing against himself, and behind him stood four bewitching young girls, who were like his maidservants, and could communicate with him in a way that was quite ambiguous.

Under the wisteria trellis next to the man in Chinese clothes sat two thin and slender men in soap clothes, both dressed as scholars, and their appearance was very close, although the two people sat in the most stable posture, but the anxiety in their eyes was the most urgent. And at the stone table facing the pavilion of the cage firefly fairy sat two handsome young men with clear eyebrows and beautiful eyes, although their appearance was outstanding, they were only wearing simple plain clothes, but their aristocratic spirit was still difficult to hide. On a separate stone bench beside them, sitting was also a young man in white, not only handsome, but also a little strange-looking, with deeply sunken eye sockets, high and convex cheekbones, his face was so pale that he could almost see the meridians inside, his lips were as thin as a blade, and the whole person was as cold as a piece of ice, glowing with white cold light.

"Hehe, I can't imagine it so lively!" Yan Xueqian laughed dryly, looking at the people present today who were not idle, let alone good, and secretly pinched a cold sweat for Yu Wenbin.

Cage Ying Xian scolded: "Bu Chunsheng, you pig is in a hurry!" The old lady hasn't finished speaking, but you dare to come to interrupt, it's just ugly, and you are so rude, no wonder you can't get a wife now! ”

The blue-faced evil man was still fiery: "Old Tree Demon, although Yao Cao is nourished by your nectar, it is a product of the earth, don't be the master's style." Now there is less than a stick of incense left before Yao Cao Bijun appears, you know each other to get out of the way as soon as possible, make Lao Tzu anxious, and burn you with roots and leaves with a fire. ”

Cage Ying Immortal said: "Since you are here for Yaocao Bijun, you should know the rules here." Yao grass blooms in 30 years, it takes 30 years to produce a fruit, and then 30 years before the fruit takes shape, even if the life limit can be reached, it is not a coincidence that it can not be obtained, although it can not be compared with the Yaochi peach of the Queen Mother of the West, it is also the best fruit in the human world. And there is another one of these fruits, which is called 'Worry-free Fruit', which can solve any kind of strange poison in this world, even if it is the 'Three Corpse Barriers' that kill immortals and gods, and 'Xuantian Silence and Dispersion', it is not a problem. However, this fruit is cultivated in the inner pill, but the spiritual power growth is not of any help, and we must not listen to the outside world to spread false rumors, do useless disputes, and delay the people who really need it. ”

Bu Chunsheng said: "Lao Tzu is disease-free, but you still have to grab this Bijun, you old witch can't care about it." ”

Cage Firefly Immortal sneered: "I think you better go to Xiaomu Jing Mountain first!" After speaking, he raised his arms flat, his wide sleeves and clothes fluttered up, and a fragrant wind blew behind him, stirring up the flowers, leaves, mud and stones, forming a small hurricane.
