After walking a few hundred meters along the gentle mountain path, Zhou Kui was surrounded by thorny bushes in front of them.

Zhou Kui took out a woodcutter and chopped the criss-crossing bushes while swinging the knife while cautiously moving forward.

"Brother Zhou, there seems to be the sound of running water ahead!" The white rat spirit hid in Zhou Kui's arms and whispered.

Zhou Kui struggled to cut through a thick bush, and when he looked up, he saw a clear mountain stream not far ahead.

"After walking for so long, I finally found a water source!" In the yellow cloth bag on Zhou Kui's shoulder, the mineral water has been completely exhausted, and he urgently needs to replenish a lot of water.

The white rat spirit slipped out of Zhou Kui's robe and ran all the way to the edge of the stream.

"Brother Zhou, this stream looks very clean, it shouldn't be polluted." The white rat spirit lay on the bank, intently observing the babbling stream.

Zhou Kui stepped forward, learned to lie on the ground with the white rat spirit, and stretched out his hands to hold a handful of clear springs.

"What a sweet stream!" Zhou Kui tasted it, and the taste was unexpectedly good.

The white rat poked out his head and carefully licked the stream with his tongue, and after a while, he suddenly lost his voice and shouted: "Brother Zhou, this water is poisonous and cannot be drunk!" ”

As soon as the words fell, Zhou Kui didn't have time to respond, only to hear a pop, and Zhou Kui clutched his stomach and fell painfully on the shallows on the shore.

Seeing this, the white rat spirit immediately ran to Zhou Kui's side, and said worriedly: "Spit out the water, hurry!" ”

Zhou Kui tried to scratch his throat with his hand, and couldn't help but crawl on the ground and retch.

He felt that his stomach acid was about to vomit, but the sharp pain in his stomach did not lessen at all, and in just a few minutes, Zhou Kui's face turned a terrible purple black, and his breathing became very short.

The white rat spirit first ran to Zhou Kui's chest, put his ear on Zhou Kui's chest, and then he flew to Zhou Kui's right wrist and stretched out his claws to check Zhou Kui's pulse.

"I'll go, it's so poisonous!"

At this time, Zhou Kui was so painful that he couldn't speak, his face became more and more terrifying, and the white rat spirit was forced to helplessly, stretched out his tail and wrapped up the woodcutter, and lightly slashed Zhou Kui's right wrist.

"Poof!"

In an instant, a stream of purple-black blood with a fishy smell gushed out from the wound on Zhou Kui's right hand, and it flowed for several minutes, until the blood gradually coagulated, Zhou Kui's mind was slightly sober, and his face gradually returned to normal.

"Brother Zhou, are you okay?" The white rat spirit let go of his tail and put down the woodcutter, and asked in an anxious tone.

Zhou Kui, who had survived the disaster, lay on the rocky beach and replied in a soft voice: "Thank you Lao Bai, it's great that I'm still alive!" ”

When the white rat spirit heard that Zhou Kui was fine, the big stone hanging in his heart finally fell, he lay on the bank, silently stared at the calm flowing stream, and muttered to himself: "This seemingly safe stream, I didn't expect it to hide a murderous intention, the danger of Broken Dragon Mountain is really not alarmist, this has not reached the foot of the mountain, just give us a dismount, I think we should go back." ”

Zhou Kui slowly got up from the tidal flats, he took out a clean toilet paper from the yellow cloth bag, bandaged the wound briefly, the white rat spirit pulled the sleeve of his Taoist robe, and said with a frightened face: "Brother Zhou, it is important for us to save our lives, you are a newcomer, even if you don't complete the task, the master will definitely not blame you, let's go back, we can't go on!" ”

"Lao Bai has a point, although Master won't blame me, but I always feel unwilling!"

The white rat spirit trotted onto Zhou Kui's shoulder, and said with righteous words: "My brother, in this dangerous situation, you should take saving your life as the first priority, and the rest are floating clouds!" ”

Zhou Kui stretched out his hand to scratch the little head of the white rat spirit, and sighed helplessly: "Okay, let's go back!" ”

"You're finally enlightened!" Seeing that Zhou Kui finally changed his mind, the white rat couldn't help but bloom with joy on his face.

Just as they were about to return the way they came, a bitter wind suddenly blew in the empty valley.

"Look, it's foggy!"

Zhou Kui frowned, looking at the condensing white mist in the valley, his eyelids jumping wildly for no reason.

"If something goes wrong, there must be a demon, Brother Zhou, let's go!" The white rat spirit retracted into Zhou Kui's arms, and his tone seemed a little anxious.

Zhou Kui quickly got up and quickly found the way he had just come, just when he stepped into the bushes with one foot, the white mist that permeated the surroundings suddenly became thick, and his eyes were almost blurry, and he couldn't tell the difference between southeast and northwest.

"This fog is so strange!" Zhou Kui scratched his hair and said nervously.

The white rat probe came out and saw the vast fog around him, and his eyebrows couldn't help but squeeze together, and he didn't say anything for a long time.

"Lao Bai, how do you go now?"

"Don't run around, just stay where you are, and wait for this white fog to dissipate!"

"If this white fog doesn't dissipate, aren't we going to be trapped here?"

The white rat spirit felt that Zhou Kui's worries were not unreasonable, but in the face of the current predicament, he had no idea.

Just when Zhou Kui felt a dilemma, a female voice as crisp and sweet as a silver bell suddenly sounded in his ears: "This little master is so bold that he dares to break into Broken Dragon Mountain alone." ”

"It's weird, how can there be a young woman's voice in this deep mountain and old forest?" Zhou Kui clenched his fists and stared at the vast mist in front of him.

"The little master stands there and doesn't move, the little woman will take you out!"

As soon as the words fell, the fog around Zhou Kui quickly dissipated, and a white-haired beauty dressed in pure white Hanfu appeared in front of Zhou Kui.

Seeing this otherworldly beautiful woman for the first time, Zhou Kui immediately thought of a few sentences in "The Book of Songs, Weifeng, Shuoren": "The hands are like soft wattles, the skin is like clotted fat, the collar is like a grub, and the teeth are like rhinoceros." The head of the mantis has eyebrows, a clever smile, and beautiful eyes. ”

"These lines of poetry are really appropriate to describe her beauty." Zhou Kui whispered.

"Why did the little master come here, could it be that he was lost?" The white-haired beauty lightly opened her lips, and her voice was so pleasant and beautiful, which made people feel extremely intoxicated.

Facing the beauty's question, Zhou Kui smiled embarrassedly: "I'm a travel friend, I came here to explore, but I didn't expect to get lost." ”

"Little master, you are obviously a Taoist priest, why do you lie to the little girl?" The white-haired beauty looked at Zhou Kui with rolling eyes, and her smile and smile were extremely beautiful, which made Zhou Kui's heart ripple.

Zhou Kui felt that his cheeks were a little hot, and his face must have been as red as a ripe apple.

"This sister, my brother is a newcomer who has just entered the Heavenly Master's Mansion, and the master asked him to run from the Heavenly Master's Mansion to the Broken Dragon Mountain Savage Valley, and then return the same way." The white rat spirit came out of Zhou Kui's robe, and explained the reason for the matter to the white-haired beauty without concealment.

"I see!" Her gentle nodding demeanor is also so impressive.

Zhou Kui pretended to cough, trying to attract the attention of the beauty, he forcibly stuffed the white rat spirit back into the robe, and asked in a gentle tone, "May I ask my sister's name?" ”

"The little girl's name is Qinglan, Qing is the green of childhood sweethearts, and Lan is the orchid of orchids." After speaking, she silently saluted Zhou Kui.

"This sister, did you travel from ancient times? I think her gestures and behavior habits are exactly the same as those of ancient feudal society. Zhou Kui suddenly doubted the identity and origin of this white-haired beauty.

Out of politeness, Zhou Kui also returned the salute to Qinglan, but what he didn't expect was that Qinglan saluted him again, and the scene became a little embarrassing for a while.

"I said Qinglan, it's a modern society now, and we don't need to stick to these red tapes when we greet each other normally." Zhou Kui said seriously.

After hearing this, Qinglan's delicate face as delicate as ceramics showed a puzzled expression: "Dare to ask the little master, is the Anshi Rebellion over?" ”

"What nonsense are these sisters talking about in broad daylight!" Zhou Kui thought Qinglan was joking with him.

"I don't want to talk about that, I haven't introduced myself yet. My surname is Zhou, and my single name is a Kui character, and Kui is Zhong Kui's Kui! ”

I don't know why, every time Zhou Kui introduces himself in front of others, he always has an inexplicable sense of superiority in his heart, maybe because his name is pronounced similar to Zhong Kui?

"The little master's name is Zhou Kui, but why does the little girl always have an inexplicable sense of familiarity when she first sees you......"

The two were talking happily, and at this moment, the sky gradually darkened, and the valley suddenly became fierce, thunder and lightning, and a storm was ready to start.

"Little master, please come with me!" Qinglan looked up at the sky and beckoned to Zhou Kui gracefully.

The white rat spirit saw that Zhou Kui's soul was sucked away, and complained with disgust: "What are you doing in a daze?" Let's go with them! ”

Zhou Kui muttered in a low voice: "I want you to be verbose!" ”

This is the first time and probably the last time he has been tempted by other women since he broke up with his ex-girlfriend Ling Chuixue.
