Chapter 11: On the Way Home
Zhou Kui followed behind Qinglan and walked along the river beach all the way to the lower reaches of the creek.
"There's a cave in front, let's go there and take shelter from the rain first!" Qinglan pointed to a stone mountain in the distance and said softly.
At that moment, a sudden heavy rain and strong winds poured down, and the whole valley suddenly became dark, making it difficult to tell whether it was day or night.
The two hid in the cave before the rainstorm came, and Zhou Kui was worried that the torrential rain might cause a mudslide to block the entrance to the cave, so he asked Qinglan: "Is there any other exit to this cave?" ”
Qinglan nodded lightly and said in a gentle tone: "There is a hole that leads directly to the Meridian Valley, little master, please come with me!" ”
Looking at the back of Qinglan walking in front, Zhou Kui couldn't help but think about it.
In line with the principle of creating a topic if there is no topic, Zhou Kui quickly stepped forward to keep pace with Qinglan, and he asked curiously: "You are very familiar with the terrain around here, do you live in Broken Dragon Mountain?" ”
Qinglan shook her head in a slightly invisible amplitude, and said in a cold voice: "The little master's words are wrong, Broken Dragon Mountain is just a temporary foothold for the little woman. ”
"Something is wrong, how could a young woman appear in such a fierce place as Broken Dragon Mountain?" The doubts in Zhou Kui's heart became stronger and stronger.
"Little master, don't worry too much, Qinglan is a human, not a demon or a monster."
After hearing this, Zhou Kui said in a distraught mood: "I also believe that you are a human being, but why did you, a weak woman, use Broken Dragon Mountain as a foothold?" ”
Qinglan turned her head to look at Zhou Kui, her smart and beautiful eyes were breathtaking. Zhou Kui lowered his head a little embarrassed and staggered Qinglan's gaze.
"It's not a secret, the little woman fled all the way here from elsewhere, only because Broken Dragon Mountain is isolated from the world and there is no trace, so she uses Broken Dragon Mountain as a temporary place to stay."
This statement did not convince Zhou Kui, and the curious Zhou Kui continued to ask: "Broken Dragon Mountain is a very fierce place in feng shui, you are a weak woman who fled here, if you encounter any mountain monsters and beasts, how should you deal with it?" ”
"Little master, don't worry, I can protect myself!" Qinglan replied with an oath.
There was a dead silence in the dark and deep cave, and occasionally there was the click sound of Zhou Kui and Qinglan stepping on the gravel, and the dull and depressing atmosphere in the cave made Zhou Kui a little breathless, in this dark environment, Zhou Kui remembered the experience of dying in the cave of Meridian Valley yesterday.
"Qinglan, how long have you been in Broken Dragon Mountain?"
"I don't know, I don't have a sense of time."
When the white rat spirit heard this, he excitedly got out of Zhou Kui's arms, and he said to Qinglan with curiosity on his face: "You still say that you are a human being, I clearly see the blue and white demonic aura in you!" ”
"Demon ......"
When Zhou Kui heard this, he was so frightened that he took a few steps back, and looked at Qinglan with a little more vigilance.
However, Qinglan didn't care about Zhou Kui's reaction at all, she turned to face Zhou Kui, and stared at the white rat spirit in Zhou Kui's arms with a pair of smart eyes.
"Little pig, you can't talk nonsense, how do you see that I have demonic energy?" Qinglan's voice at this time was very charming.
The white rat spirit blushed slightly, and retorted in a somewhat unwilling tone: "When I first saw you, I knew that you were my kind. No, to be precise, we all have the same smell on our bodies, a unique aura that only goblins can emit. ”
Qinglan raised Qianqianyu's hand to cover her small mouth, and chuckled: "The guinea pig is really good at laughing, but you are telling me where I look like a goblin?" ”
Zhou Kui unceremoniously pinched the head of the white rat spirit with his hand, and said angrily: "Qinglan is a normal person no matter how you look at it, don't guess anymore, wronged a good person!" ”
The white rat spirit was red-eyed, and said angrily: "Zhou Kui, you guy who is heavy on color and light on friends, I will ignore you!" ”
With that, the white rat spirit burrowed into the pocket of Zhou Kui's robe in annoyance.
"Lao Bai, I have always been very accurate in my eyes for people, Qinglan is definitely not a bad person, I can swear to Patriarch Sanqing on this." Zhou Kui said in a resolute tone.
The white rat spirit sighed helplessly, and teased in a strange way: "What is the saying? Love is blind. ”
Zhou Kui didn't make a sound, and complained silently in his heart: "You say yes, I don't want you to think, I want me to feel!" ”
"What is the relationship between the little master and that little mouse?" Qinglan's eyes widened, and her sweet voice was full of curiosity.
Zhou Kui pretended to clear his throat, and then he told Qinglan about his acquaintance with the white rat spirit, pouring beans into a bamboo tube.
"I didn't expect the little master to have such a skill, he subdued a spirit beast when he first entered the Heavenly Master's Mansion, the future is really limitless!"
Listening to Qinglan's words of praise, Zhou Kui felt a little fluttering.
The two continued to move forward for dozens of meters, and saw a light not far away, Zhou Kui said excitedly: "It seems that there is the exit!" ”
Walking out of the cave, the sky was bright, and there was almost no sign of rain on the ground. Zhou Kui sighed in his heart: "It's really a mountain divided into four seasons, ten miles of different days!" It was still pouring rain on the other side of Broken Dragon Mountain just now, but after coming to the Meridian Valley, the sun was shining brightly and the sky was clear. ”
"Little master, this place is only a mountain away from your Heavenly Master's Mansion, so the little girl will send you here. The green mountains do not change the green water for a long time, we will have a period later! Qinglan bent down her slender willow waist and said goodbye solemnly to Zhou Kui.
Zhou Kui looked at her reluctantly, and said hesitantly: "What, what, what do I want to say?" Oh, by the way, Qinglan, where do you live? If you really don't have a place to live, come to the Heavenly Master's Mansion, and I'll ask the Master to find you a vacant room. ”
Qinglan raised her head, her delicate face showed a shallow dimple, and she politely declined: "Thank you for the kindness of the little master, Qinglan already has a place to live." ”
"Really?" Zhou Kui sighed dejectedly.
Before parting, Zhou Kui reluctantly looked back at Qinglan: "Where do you live?" I'll come back to you when I have time. ”
Qinglan still had a faint smile on her face, she glanced at Zhou Kui, then turned her gaze to the blue sky, and said meaningfully: "Little master, if there is fate, we will meet!" ”
Zhou Kui nodded silently and expressed his heartfelt thanks to Qinglan: "It's really thanks to you this time, otherwise I would have died in that fog." ”
"The little master is serious, Qinglan just saw that you were in trouble, so she came to help."
"Anyway, after all, you saved my life, and I will report this to Master and my brothers when I go back."
When Qinglan heard Zhou Kui's words, her face changed slightly, and she said in a somewhat embarrassed tone: "It's good that the little master remembers me, please don't tell others about me saving you." ”
"Why is that?" Zhou Kui asked confusedly.
Before Zhou Kui could react, Qinglan flashed in front of him at a speed that was imperceptible to the naked eye, which surprised Zhou Kui.
Qinglan approached Zhou Kui, their faces almost touching each other, and they could feel each other's breathing and heartbeat.
"Because, this is a secret between Qinglan and Xiao Master!"
These affectionate words came out of Qinglan's mouth, and Zhou Kui only felt that the bones in his body were about to melt.
"This woman's voice is so beautiful, it's a pity that I don't have a mobile phone, otherwise I would have recorded it and listened to it a hundred times every night!" Zhou Kui's heart is restless and wants to be wrong.
Qinglan found that she was too close to Zhou Kui, her jade-like face flushed, she took a few steps back with some embarrassment, and solemnly said goodbye to Zhou Kui: "Little master, say goodbye, we are destined to see you again!" ”
Zhou Kui waved his hand at Qinglan and said reluctantly: "See you again!" ”
Seeing Qinglan's shadow disappear into the Meridian Valley, Zhou Kui was stunned, and felt empty in his heart.
"If you can't bear that beauty, why don't you catch up with her and bring her back to the Heavenly Master's Mansion?" The white rat spirit said with a wicked smile.
Zhou Kui stared at the direction where Qinglan had gone, and said in a somewhat sad tone: "This time, I don't know when I will see her again." Forget it, let's go back and report to Master first! ”
"Just waiting for your words!" The white rat spirit is gearing up, and the thought of finally being able to go home can not be excited?
......
After Zhou Kui walked away, Qinglan returned to the place where they had just said goodbye, she looked up in the direction where the Heavenly Master's Mansion was located, and there was a faint longing in her eyes.
"Maybe I'm thinking too much, after so many years, he must no longer be alive......"
"Even if he is reincarnated and reincarnated and drinks Meng Po soup, he may not remember me."
"I want to renew my relationship with him, but I'm afraid it's ......"
Just when Qinglan was full of sorrow and depressed, she keenly sensed that there was a monster approaching behind her.
"It's this strange octopus monster again, last time it was in the Savage Valley......" Qinglan turned to look at the attacking monster, her willow brows furrowed.
The octopus monster opened its barbed mouthparts, and the black giant tentacles flung towards Qinglan like a long whip.
"Under natural conditions, it is impossible for this type of monster to be born in the land of the Southern Barbarians. Could it be that it was artificially created? ”
Seeing that the tentacles would soon stab Qinglan, she decisively left an afterimage and teleported to the octopus monster in a ghostly way.
"Flying flowers and moons!"
Qinglan Jiao snorted, and a powerful spiritual power condensed in the palm of her right hand, and blasted towards the octopus monster like a mountain.
Hearing a loud "bang", the bloated body of the octopus monster was blown to pieces in an instant.
