The land of the river, Qingtang City, is the place where Bai Fan and Huijing make an appointment to meet.

Since the rise of the Western Xia Kingdom, it controlled the area of the Hexi Corridor, and the caravans and envoys of various countries between the Song Dynasty and the Western Xia City were often plundered, so they took a detour to change to Qingtang City, and then went west from the southern part of Qinghai Lake through the Qaidam Basin. Qingtang City has become an important town on the South Silk Road and the Tangbo Ancient Road.

Bai Fan took more than a dozen women into the city, although all the women were covered with scarves, they still caused the crowd to turn back from time to time, which was very eye-catching.

"Xining Inn"

After walking half a circle in the city, Bai Fan stopped in front of this inn and said to the women behind him: "You wait here, I'll go and go back." ”

All the women agreed in unison, but Mei Jian still walked in with him.

At this time, it was the meal, and the lobby on the first floor was full of diners, Bai Fan swept it away, and saw a fat man with a short head pounced on the table alone, gnawing wildly on a pot of sauce pork hands.

The corners of his mouth curved, Bai Fan walked over and sat opposite him and said coldly: "Master Huijing, I haven't seen you for a long time, you are having a very chic life, should you forget all the things that this son said?" ”

Huijing was stunned when he heard this voice, and then he suddenly realized, and looked up at Bai Fan with a fat face, and said with a smile: "How can it, the poor monk didn't just come back from Kunlun Mountain two days ago and lost a lot of meat, and now he has time to make up for it." ”

Bai Fan tapped his fingers on the table and said, "Since that's the case, let's go." ”

Huijing looked at the dishes on the table, then looked at Bai Fan and said with a smile: "Childe, you see that the emperor is not short of hungry soldiers, let's leave after eating." ”

Bai Fan stood up and sneered: "I'm leaving, you can't go, you can do it yourself." After speaking, he turned around and walked out with Mei Jian.

"Hey, I'll go...... Can't I go......" Huijing hurriedly stood up, took a pig's hand and gnawed on it, and rushed up with a rolling belt.

At this time, the shopkeeper hurriedly chased him out and shouted: "Hey...... Guest officer, meal money...... You haven't paid for the house yet......"

Bai Fan took Ma Cong and turned a deaf ear, and the rest of the women were the same, Huijing looked at it and wanted to go back to pay, Zhu Jian glared at him and said, "Just take you", and then reached out and took out a gold leaf from his arms, and threw it towards the shopkeeper with a whoosh, and swiped past his ear and inserted it on the door panel, with a strand of hair into the wood.

Halfway through, when he was about to leave the city, Huijing suddenly patted his thigh and shouted: "Childe, the gourd I prepared has fallen into the inn, let's catch the ice silkworm and hold it in our hands, those gourds are specially made and are not afraid of the freezing of the ice silkworm, this must be taken back." ”

Bai Fan couldn't help but look at him with admiration, it seemed that he was not completely heartless, and he could still take the initiative to think of this, tilted his head and said to Zhu Jian: "Zhu Jian, you accompany him back to the inn to get it, go and go back quickly." ”

Bamboo Jian immediately led the order to rush back to the inn with Huijing, and after a while, Huijing took a burden, and Zhujian ran back with a string of about seven or eight small gourds, Huijing said with a smile: "Childe, take it all, let's go." ”

"Let's go!" Bai Fan nodded.

After leaving the city, everyone mounted their horses, and Huijing led the way in front of them, and galloped in the southwest direction.

Kunlun Mountain, "Classic of Mountains and Seas" calls it Kunlun Xu, stretches for more than 5,000 miles, since ancient times, it has the prominent position of "the ancestor of ten thousand mountains", the ancients called it the Chinese "ancestor of the dragon vein", many ancient myths and stories are related to Kunlun Mountain, vast and mysterious, and any other mountain range in the world is incomparable.

Huijing took Bai Fan and the others to a mountain peak in the eastern section of Kunlun Mountain, this peak is tall and steep, with seven or eight peaks of varying heights, and more than half of the peaks are covered with snow.

Everyone tied their horses to a small forest at the foot of the mountain, leaving only three people to watch the horses, and they followed Huijing up the mountain with everyone holding gourds and Bai Fan.

The higher you go, the colder it gets, and when you come to the mountainside, when you are about to step on the snow, Huijing stopped in a clearing and gasped and said: "Childe, the first time the poor monk saw the ice silkworm was in this mountain, and the poor monk came to this mountain to explore half a month ago, and the activity traces of the ice silkworm near this place are the most, but they are too fast, and occasionally one or two disappear in the blink of an eye, so they did not find their nest." ”

Bai Fan looked around, there were indeed many scorched black traces revealed in the grass and woods, extending until the snow before losing their traces, and there were several poisonous snake corpses with split heads nearby, he stepped forward and picked up the branches and turned them over, seeing that they had not yet decayed, he was sure of Huijing's words in his heart.

He came to the center of the clearing, put his hand into the sleeve cage, and then took out the Shenmu Wang Ding in the stunned eyes of Mei Jian and the others, all the way they took care of Bai Fan's diet and daily life, almost not leaving an inch, and he had never seen this Xiao Ding on him.

Bai Fan didn't know how to explain, so they just guessed, put the wooden tripod on the ground, took out a few pieces of spices and put them in the tripod to ignite, closed the lid of the tripod, and said, "Let's go and wait under the tree over there, all hold our breath and listen to my orders." ”

All the women agreed in unison and followed Bai Fan to hide in the bushes below.

Bai Fan stared at Mu Ding with a focused expression, based on what he saw and heard, this ice silkworm seemed to have opened its spiritual intelligence, and its IQ was not low, if it was brought to the origin world to reproduce, the kind of strange substance that could make the beast mutate into a demon beast would definitely be able to make the ice silkworm evolve, and the demon beast that evolved from this strange insect was terrifying to think about, both trembling and surprised. Taking a step back, even if the Ice Silkworms hadn't evolved, their current level of cold poison alone would be quite amazing, and they would have considerable power against those below the intermediate level.

Seeing Bai Fan's very important look, Mei Lan Zhuju Sishu quietly ordered to go down, so that the women cheered up and stood by at any time, and the mountains and forests were silent for a while.

Just when everyone was looking forward to it, they suddenly heard a shuddering sound, and saw a bright red centipede crawling over, its whole body shining with golden light, more than a foot long, more than three times larger than an ordinary centipede.

Ju Jian is the most lively wave in the four Shu, seeing this strange thing, I can't help but exclaim, at this time, Lan Jian on the side hurriedly covered her mouth, stretched out her index finger and stood up in front of her and shouted, seeing Ju Jian nodded before putting it down, but the bamboo sword on the other side glared at her fiercely, but she didn't care at all, and stuck out her tongue at the bamboo sword.

Bai Fan couldn't help but smile when he saw this, among the four sisters, Mei Jian, as the eldest sister, was the most dignified and steady, and all major matters among the four were basically decided by her; Lan Jian people are as their name suggests, Lan Xinhui is gentle, gentle and virtuous; Bamboo sword martial arts is the highest, and he also loves to practice martial arts the most, his personality is straightforward and cold, and he has never been false to others; Ju Jian is the most lively one, never worrying, and never worrying about things. Of course, these are all for himself, to others, the four of them are the same, but they can't see it, that's right, when you don't exist, if you get angry again, you will go over with a sword, and never tell you more.

The centipede smelled the fragrance from the wooden ding, swam straight to the wooden ding, and drilled through the hole under the ding, but its body was too long, only half of it was drilled into the ding, and half of it was exposed.

At this time, I heard two more "quack" chirps, and a huge toad with dark green and snow-white spots jumped over, followed the fragrance to Dingxia, and saw the centipede's exposed body, and bit it mercilessly, swallowing while biting, and the centipede was missing from its tail.
