Chapter Seventy-Four: Ascending the Heavenly Mountain
In the simple wooden house, Ethan lay there quietly, the afternoon sun shone on his fair face, his cheeks were faintly red, no matter how he looked at it, he felt that he was so healthy, why didn't he wake up? Xi Ning sat on the edge of the bed when he returned to the house from the front garden, staring at Ethan's face and thinking about his thoughts.
The "master" pushed the door in with the sound.
"Master, we've made contact with the Dark Guard, and they've all stopped in Shinnomura for the time being. The shadow is on standby over there. ”
Xi Ning got up and walked to the window, looking at the snow on the pine branches from a distance through the dilapidated window, and was silent for a long time, as if he was waiting for someone to arrive, and as if he was thinking about what the lore had said.
"Send a message to Ying, let him lead someone to the Tianshan Mountain first, try to find the specific location of the immortal cave, I will go to the Tianshan Mountain at the latest." Xi Ning's voice was extremely heavy, inexplicably making the lore kill feel like a warrior would never return.
Shortly after Lore left, the hut welcomed another expected guest.
The bearded old man sat on the edge of the bed opposite Xi Ning, looked at Ethan who was lying behind Xi Ning and said, "He, the old man, I can save him!" But there is one condition. ”
"What conditions the seniors say, as long as the juniors can do it." Xi Ning's anxious mood has been lost in this negotiation, and the old monster of Xishan, who used to make people fearful on the rivers and lakes, seized the opportunity and said first: "Marry Yuchen, that is, my apprentice of the old monster of Xishan." ”
"What?"
How could Xi Ning not be surprised, was this transaction a little too sudden, did the party agree? I already have Qianao, Ethan, Miao Ren, Xiaojun, and Dongfang Yue. Can such a self marry such a beautiful person like an elf!
"Senior, your love Xi Ning knows, but I already have a five-room husband, and you still let Yuchen marry a woman like me, is it too wronged for him. And knowing that he doesn't like me either, how can I force him for my own selfishness? I can't say yes. ”
"Yuchen must follow you!" The old monster of the West Mountain is very persistent.
"Senior, why are you so troubled!"
"Because you're Xi Ning! is the strongest woman in the world, and only you can protect him in this world, and only you are worthy of his marriage! The tone of the old monster in Xishan was so destined, as if he knew everything well, so that Xi Ning had nothing to hide, and a chill ran down her spine.
"Don't be surprised, you just said that your name is Xi Ning. The only people in the world who can call Xi Ning and dare to call Xi Ning the name are King Ning, the god of war in Beijing, and His Majesty today. The thin body of the old monster in Xishan is so resolute, the beard covers most of his face, Xi Ning can't see the expression, only from his wise eyes, he sees the conceit, and the conceit of despising the world.
"If so, I do!" Xi Ning compromised not only because she didn't lose this deal, but also because the snow-like man could really make her tempted. However, she finally said: "If he doesn't want to, I don't want to force him." ”
"You're going to Tianshan to look for medicine, aren't you? That kid is the best guide, and he is more familiar with the Tianshan Mountains than anyone else. Old man, I'll let him take you there, and it's up to you how you get the heart of the king. The old monster pointed to Ethan on the bed and said, "He stays here and lets your guards take care of him, and when you return, he will surely return it flawlessly." ”
What reason does Xi Ning have for disagreeing? It's really a sure win. However, the words of the old monster in Xishan were so reasonable, but Xi Ning was still suspicious. Miao Ren's master Daoxing is like this, and the one in front of him is also like this, they all stuff their apprentices to themselves, there must be something in them that they don't know yet, just like the 'fairy grass' that the little fox needs, although she doesn't understand why only she can, but she believes that there will always be a day when the truth will be revealed. Anyway, the beautiful man is in front, and she won't play the role of a gentleman.
"Good! Tonight's dishes continue to be cooked! The old monster got up and left.
"These two old men are really weird!" Xi Ning muttered to himself.
Because Lore is a woman, taking care of Ethan made Xi Ning feel slightly unhappy, so he temporarily ordered the shadow to rush back to take care of it, and Lore followed Xi Ning up the mountain.
Everything was ready, and Xi Ning and the others appeared in the 'Xinye Village' at the foot of the Tianshan Mountains with a new look.
The village is sparsely populated, with a dozen or so scattered families, all of whom make a living from hunting. There were very few old people in the village, so Xi Ning searched around, found one of the oldest hunters, and asked for some information and legends about the Tianshan Mountains.
The old man said: There is a legend about the fairy cave that Xi Ning wants to find. At that time, he was still very young, and some old people said that Tianshan was a blessed place where spiritual energy gathered, and it was the closest to Heavenly Court, so there were many immortal cultivators who went here. However, there are very few people who can really cultivate immortals and become gods. I only heard that only one of the immortal cultivators who went forward and succeeded had achieved positive results, and she was Feng Tian. On that day, there was a strange sight in the sky, as if a huge black hole had taken her in. Others say that it is the ascension after experiencing calamity. It's just that no one has ever confirmed it again.
Xi Ning listened to him, Feng Tian should be the founding emperor of Tianfeng. It's just that there is no news about the empress's ascension to heaven in the official records, only the disappearance of the emperor on a certain year, month, and day.
Walking out of the house with the name of the village, Xi Ning left him some silver taels and embarked on a journey to find medicine.
Yuchen was very puzzled by Xi Ning's behavior of having to go to the villager's house before leaving, and he didn't bother to explain, so he let him hesitate and be embarrassed at the door of the house.
As they make their way to the top of the snowy mountain, Ethan is bent over on the bed by the old monster of the West Mountain. The shadow handed the hot flints to the old monster of the West Mountain, and the old monster of the West Mountain pressed several large holes on Ethan's back, and dozens of large and small ones were placed in a diamond shape. Ethan's forehead was covered with sweat.
Half an hour later, Ethan was hung upside down from the beams. On the ground was a boiling cauldron, and the medicinal herbs in the pot tumbled out from time to time, and after fumigation for half an hour, Ethan threw it into the liquid medicine to soak, and this soak was a day and a night.
According to the words of the old monster of Xishan, the shadow knew that he was dredging the meridians, detoxifying, and guiding the internal force to eliminate the body and release the pressure. The shadow didn't understand the reason, but he remembered the process one by one, and he was afraid that one day Xi Ning would ask about the process, and if he couldn't answer, he shouldn't be careful.
The old monster of Xishan gets along very well with this wood-like hidden guard, this wood works hard, has strong execution, and the main cooking skills are not bad, at least it is better than what he does.
Xi Ning and Lore climbed up step by step along Yuchen's footsteps, rested for a while and continued to hurry. Along the way, she didn't find the guards she sent, and there were no footprints left.
There are almost no people who know about the 'fairy cave', so finding a cave of uncertain size on the snow-capped mountains is like looking for a needle in a haystack. Xi Ning didn't dare to give up, didn't want to fail, looked at the endless mountaintop, and made up his mind not to give up. No matter how difficult the road ahead is, we must find the last person, and we must continue to find it.
"Little fox, you'll be fine, wait for me!"
