Chapter 41: Strangeness on the Foggy Mountains
Lingzhi walked to the ancient tree and stood still, in her opinion, it was an ancient black-barked tree that was a little outrageously large and leafy.
If you look closely, there seem to be a lot of small orange-red fruits hanging on the branches, and they are still shining under her gaze, and even the surroundings of the ancient tree are illuminated.
She admitted that the moment she saw the fruit, she really felt that she was hungry, swallowed her saliva and turned her head to look at her own young lady who was still unconscious, she still gave up. Even if the fruit looks so tempting!
She circled the ancient tree a few times, and found that there was nothing peculiar about it, and she was inevitably a little frustrated.
"Lingzhi girl!"
It's the voice of a little bad wolf!
Lingzhi hurriedly looked for prestige, and it was not the little bad wolf who could come from the depths of the night.
"Lingzhi girl, get out of here, it's dangerous here!"
"Why are you here?"
Lingzhi asked with some joy, and walked a few steps quickly to Xiao Ash.
"Actually, I've been following you all the way up the mountain. It lowered its head and licked the wound on *, and Lingzhi noticed that it had a lot of blood on its left front foot.
"What's going on?"
"Do you remember that cat meow halfway through?"
Seeing that she was stunned for a while, she was a little scared, and Xiao Ash said again: "Actually, it is the secret guard of the jade-faced old man, but for some reason it is less than half of usual, so I just served them to a pot, otherwise you would have been hunted by them halfway, and I am afraid that they would have become sacrifices at this time." ”
"Ahh......h
"Miss, what's the matter?" asked Xiao Ash as she looked at Tang Wanwan, who was lying unconscious on her back.
"Miss, she was poisoned by the she-wolf demon, and the demon said that if you want to save your life, you must come to this foggy mountain to find the jade-faced old man. ”
Speaking of Tang Wanwan Lingzhi, he fell into sadness again.
"Alas, I can't imagine that she still hasn't given up!"
"Huh?"
"It's okay, it looks like we're going to have to break through. By the way, have you ever eaten the fruit of that tree?"
"No, I didn't. ”
"Well, remember, you can't eat the fruit later, no matter how fragrant or tempting it is, or it will be a disaster. ”
Although he didn't understand a little, Lingzhi nodded affirmatively.
Little Ash sighed, and they walked towards the ancient tree first past Lingzhi, and Lingzhi hurriedly followed when he saw it looking back.
Approaching the ancient tree again, Lingzhi suddenly felt that the fruit seemed to be more and more translucent and attractive, she couldn't help licking her lips, and freed up one hand to pick one, but fortunately, the little gray wolf's eyes were quick, and he waved her away with a paw.
As if she had come to her senses, she hurriedly shook her head that was a little swollen and painful, and made up her mind not to look at the fruit again.
"Follow me. Little Ash turned around and left such a sentence, and his body disappeared out of thin air in a flash.
Lingzhi was stunned suddenly! "This foggy mountain is full of weirdness, is Brother Wolf a trick?"
"Wolves... Big Brother Wolf, Big Brother Wolf!"
After a few calls and no response, she couldn't help but take another step forward towards the ancient tree.
She suddenly felt as if she had stepped on something hard under her feet, and then a flower in front of her eyes was sucked forward by an invisible pressure, and just when she thought she was going to hit the ancient tree, her body sank violently!
When I opened my eyes again, I found that I had come to a completely different place than before.
The starry sky is covered here, and the moonlight is like a wheel. Not far away, there seem to be a few big red lanterns hanging with the three big characters "Yuyanju" written on them.
Lingzhi saw clearly that he had taken the young lady to a mansion.
"Don't be stunned, hurry up and keep up. Not far away, there was a low voice of the little gray wolf, and Lingzhi hurriedly walked towards it.
"Big Brother Wolf......
"Shhhhhh On the night of the full moon today, I think that the jade-faced old man is not in the mansion at this time, otherwise we are afraid that we would have died a long time ago. ”
"And where did she go?"
"I think I'm going to sacrifice. Is the bead I asked your young lady to help keep it before?" the little gray wolf asked suddenly.
"Oh, Mademoiselle has been inquiring about the whereabouts of the owner of the bead, but there has been no news yet. ”
"But it's still on Miss?"
"Naturally. ”
"Then you take it out and let me urge its spiritual power, so that I may be able to protect you in a critical moment. ”
"Good. ”
Lingzhi knew that this jade-faced old man was definitely not a good person, so he quickly took out the bead from the young lady's purse and handed it to the little gray wolf.
This is the same shining bead that the little bad wolf spat out in the forest that day, and ask them to use it to find its mother's whereabouts.
With tears shining in his eyes, the little gray wolf took the bead and placed it in mid-air, and then meditated on it, and the bead became more and more luminous.
After a while, it was not until it gradually faded that the little gray wolf pushed it into Lingzhi's hand with his telekinesis.
Lingzhi smiled and directly put the beads back into Tang Wanwan's purse.
The little gray wolf still didn't say anything, it understood Lingzhi's feelings for his own young lady.
"Brother Wolf, I must see the old man with the jade face, so that my young lady can be saved. ”
Lingzhi, who was following behind Xiao Ash, couldn't help but open his mouth.
"I know, but what you don't know is that you were tricked by Lu Zhiyu this time to open the way for her, and she should be there soon. Xiao Ash said thoughtfully.
"Lu Zhi... Who is it, and why is she doing it?"
"She is the she-wolf demon in your mouth, in fact, she is not a wolf demon, but a cat raised by the jade-faced old man who has cultivated into a refinement, but there is a deep blood feud between them. Do you feel like you're so and tireless?"
It abruptly changed the subject, and Lingzhi nodded, "That's true." ”
"That's it, she should have given you a decoction infused with cultivation, so you will be like this, remember, if you really see the old man with the jade face, you must not force your head out, in fact, there is no solution to the poison, even the old man with the jade face has no way. ”
"Then what should I do, isn't Miss ......?"
"You should take care of yourself first, don't be misled by others into becoming a substitute for the dead, in that case, the young lady will really be hopeless. ”
Seeing that she looked very depressed, Xiao Ash couldn't bear to break her hope, shook her head and said, "Actually, Miss's poison is not completely unsolvable. ”
"Really!"
Seeing her smile, Xiao Ash nodded again and affirmed: "Well, it is said that the jade-faced old man has a Thousand Turns Pill, but no one knows where she put it, and I am afraid that another reason for Lu Zhi to come this time is to find it." ”
It paused and continued, "It can bring ordinary people back to life, and if a cultivator eats it, he will instantly improve his cultivation. ”
"Great! but... Since this medicine has such magical powers, why doesn't the jade-faced old man take it himself?" Lingzhi suddenly thought.
"Because it was originally practiced by her own cultivation, it can be said that she is the guardian of her inner dan, so naturally she figured it out, and the truth is actually the same whether to eat or not. ”
"Then let's go find it!"
Seeing that she could still move forward like a gust of wind with her young lady on her back, Xiao Ash still shook her head worriedly.
The old man's mansion was not guarded, and it seemed very quiet and terrifying, and Lingzhi didn't have the heart to think about terrible things now, and was all focused on finding the Thousand Turning Pill.
Even if there is no one, she is still careful not to let herself make a sound, since the old man in the jade face is so unguarded, there must be a mechanism in secret, it is better to be careful.
She staggered away from Little Ash, and carried her young lady to the left corridor, at the end of which was a garden with a stone path, and Lingzhi looked at it carefully, and saw that there was nothing unusual, so she stepped down the steps, wanting to go through this garden to the attic at the other end.
Just after walking a few steps, she suddenly found a black shadow running from the direction of the attic to the other side of the garden, Lingzhi hurriedly carried Tang Wanwan and hid in a camellia bush, until the black shadow left, she came out of the cat.
"The man's form... How could it be familiar?" she muttered as she stared in the direction the shadow was leaving.
After thinking about it, he felt that it was a little impossible, so he shook his head and continued on his way.
I just secretly said in my heart: "I hope that person is not here to find the Thousand Turning Pill......"
。。。。。。。。。。
"The old witch really didn't come back?"
In a hidden stone cave halfway up the Foggy Mountain, a woman in yellow shouted angrily.
"Madame, it's true. ”
"Heh, that mortal is really good, she can actually avoid the temptation of the Phantom Soul Fruit, it seems that I really underestimated her!"
This person is Lu Zhi, it turns out that she has also brought people up the mountain, and the reason why she is hiding here at this moment is to let Lingzhi lead back to the jade-faced old man who sacrificed in the Xuan Realm, but this wishful thinking is obviously wrong.
But they didn't know that the little gray wolf had also gone up the mountain, just that this Lingzhi had some ability.
"Go, send someone to pick the Phantom Soul Fruit!"
"Madame can't! Once this fruit is picked, the person who picks and eats it will definitely die, and all the people related to her will eventually be pulled and discovered by the jade-faced old man, with our current strength, we are definitely not her opponent, please think twice!"
"You still need to remind you!" she flicked her sleeves and continued: "If this fruit is not picked, how can we bring her back? Mrs. Ben just can't wait, she must make a break with her tonight, you must know that the day of the sacrifice is the time when her vitality is the weakest, and I have to wait another hundred years if I waste this opportunity, I am not reconciled!"
"Madame, rest your anger!"
"Madame...... angry!"
"Don't go yet!"
"Yes, my subordinates will send someone to go. Seeing that Lu Zhi was so angry, her personal wolf maid hurriedly took the order to make arrangements.
"Wait!" Lu Zhi suddenly stopped it.
"What else does Madame command?"
The maid said cautiously, beads of sweat squeezing out of the hairy wolf's head.
"Let people eat and go directly to Yuyan Ju to find a way to get close to those two mortals, that mortal drank my special decoction, don't waste your cultivation at this moment!"
"Yes, my subordinates will do it. ”
The wolf-headed maid withdrew, and in a short time sent another maid up the hill. It's just that it kept sobbing, and from time to time it looked back at the rest of the maids, as if hoping that they would suddenly call back to itself.
It's just that until they faded out of sight, the moment it hoped for still didn't come, and I couldn't help but feel a pain in my heart, and finally I had to give up.
"I hope she can live up to her mission. The wolf led the maid with some reluctance, and the rest of them all bowed their heads, sad and glad for themselves at the same time......
"Sister Miao, is Xiao Lin going to die if she eats the Phantom Soul Fruit?" a good maid who usually played with Xiao Lin cried and asked the maid who took the lead.
"Alas, eating that fruit will only make her completely lose her mind after half a pillar of incense and become the food for the jade-faced old man to study, I hope she can find those two mortals as soon as possible when she is sober and complete Madame's mission. ”
"Xiao Lin ......"
The maid covered her mouth and cried bitterly, driving the other maids to cry too, and the maid who took the lead hurriedly stopped her, and when she glanced at the cave, all the maids had a cold back, and had to stop it!
I think since the previous leader was killed, and the current leader succeeded to the throne and married this lady, they have not lived in such a frightened way for a day, and they don't know when they will be the head?
。。。。。。。。。。
Besides, Lingzhi was completely unaware of Lu Zhi's conspiracy at this time, and at this moment she had already entered the attic, and when she was looking around and was about to go up to the second floor, there was a sudden sound from the roof.
"Who!"
