Chapter 5
Su Xiaoqin is a very interesting girl, she has traveled a long way to Qingming Mountain, and with her, this road is not so boring. Even if Gu Xiangcheng had a heart, he inevitably had a good impression of this girl, and couldn't help but talk to her more.
It is not unreasonable for Su Xiaoqin to be called "plain hands and clean face", she looks only seventeen or eighteen years old, and she looks like an innocent girl, but she is actually a three-hundred-year-old senior. Needless to say, Gu Xiangcheng prides himself on being an old ghost who has lived for tens of thousands of years, and sometimes he has to admit that Su Xiaoqin is really a little higher than him.
- At least in terms of identifying herbs, he is inferior to Su Xiaoqin.
"Don't move!" A white and tender hand patted the back of Gu Xiangcheng's hand, and the owner of the hand warned him very seriously, "This kind of grass can't be touched like this, otherwise you will become a pile of white bones tomorrow." ”
"......" Gu Xiangcheng withdrew his hand and looked helpless at an extremely ordinary-looking fairy grass, "What is this grass called?" ”
"Three panics." Su Xiaoqin said quickly, "Panic." ”
"Three panics?" Gu Xiangcheng said in surprise, "This ...... What's the name? Rao was well-informed, and he was also shocked by this unreasonable name.
Su Xiaoqin smiled: "This is the name given by the pavilion master. This kind of grass does not look amazing, but in fact it is extremely poisonous, no matter how capable you are, if you get a little of its juice, it will rot in half a day and turn into a pile of white bones. When the Cloud Makeup Pavilion was first built, the pavilion owner was too lazy to deal with the people who came to the door to provoke, so he simply planted a large area of three panics at the door, and threatened that if someone could walk through the three panics unharmed, the power of the Cloud Makeup Pavilion would be handed over. Results...... You should know. ”
I can't complain about three panics. Gu makeup became natural, and then chuckled. His smoke is so cute, but he has been absent for so many hours, it's a shame to think about it.
Su Xiaoqin took him around the large area of three panics, and continued, "Gradually, no one in the Cloud Makeup Pavilion dares to come to the door to provoke, the pavilion master is afraid that this thing will accidentally hurt everyone in the pavilion, so he ordered a fire, I didn't expect that there is such a thing here." You have to be careful, otherwise don't say it's me, even if the pavilion master comes in person, I won't be able to save your life. ”
Gu Xiangcheng smiled, and he was really surprised. Even Shen Yan can't save it, it seems that this thing is really not a good thing. But...... If it can be used on Xie Qingming?
His heart moved, and he asked, "Senior Su, can you eat three panics?" ”
Su Xiaoqin was leading the way in front, but when she heard the words, she was so frightened that she almost fell off the slope! She looked back in astonishment, looked at him like a fool, and asked, "Why do you still eat things that you can't touch?" ”
"No, no, no, the junior means...... If we can use this thing on Xie Qingming, maybe it will save us half of our effort. Gu Xiangcheng couldn't cry or laugh, and hurriedly explained.
Su Xiaoqin shook her head and said distressedly: "If I can, I want to use this method too." Save time and effort, what's the bad? It's a pity that this grass is too toxic, and it took a lot of effort to plant some in the Cloud Makeup Pavilion. It's better for you and me not to be self-conscious. ”
Gu Xiangcheng wanted to ask again, but Su Xiaoqin didn't want to say it.
The two climbed an entire hill without incident, with a long stretch of village at their feet. Gu Makeup clearly remembered that this was not the way to Qingming Mountain, but he couldn't ask, so he had to follow Su Xiaoqin and enter the village before dark.
At first, Gu Chengcheng only thought that there was some treasure in this village, so he attracted Su Xiaoqin to come. Who would have thought that this senior led him to a small restaurant, asked for the signature mutton noodles, and feasted on it without any image.
Gu makeup: "......"
He broke open his chopsticks, picked up the noodles and ate them. The mutton noodles taste good, but they are not particularly outstanding, but Su Xiaoqin seems to have eaten some delicacies from the mountains and seas, and she can only stop eating three bowls in a row.
The owner of the restaurant was a chubby middle-aged man, who seemed to be very familiar with Su Xiaoqin, and after seeing that people had finished eating, he happily sent a pot of sweet tea and asked, "Miss Su hasn't been here for a long time, what about Shen Gongzi?" The dried fruit he asked me to make last time is ready! ”
Su Xiaoqin smiled and said, "Childe is busy, so he can't come, so he sent me over." ”
"Oops! Hey? This boy is very angry, is it the first time he has come? The fat boss hurriedly beckoned his mother-in-law to get dried fruits, turned his head and saw Gu Xiangcheng, who was trying to reduce his sense of existence, and said with a smile.
Su Xiaoqin said: "This is a friend of Childe, when he was young, Childe asked me to take him out to see the world." ”
"Ouch, look at this little brother's talent, sure enough!" The fat boss laughed and patted Gu Xiangcheng's shoulder, "Little boy is lucky, I can make friends with Shen Gongzi!" ”
Gu Xiangcheng raised his eyebrows and smiled, and said, "I also feel very lucky to be able to make friends with Shen Gongzi." "If you're unlucky, I'm afraid I'll never see him again in my life.
Su Xiaoqin did not accept the fat boss's proposal to live next door to him, but came to a small dilapidated temple outside the village. Although the small temple looks broken, the inside is clean, and someone often cleans it. And there is a lot of hay and firewood piled up in the corner, and there are flints on the table.
"It's getting late, Gu Gongzi should rest early!" Su Xiaoqin quickly laid out the hay with his hands and feet, lit the firewood, "If you hear anything at night, don't open your eyes." ”
Gu Xiangcheng was looking up at the statue of the god with ashes and cobwebs in the temple, and was slightly stunned when he heard this. It seems that this village is not as simple as it seems.
But he didn't ask anything, just bent his eyes slightly, and laughed in a low voice: "Yes, the junior knows." ”
At night, he really heard the whispered voice, but the voice was too far away and hazy for him to hear. After a while, his voice gradually weakened, and Gu Xiangcheng was full of thoughts, but he fell asleep unconsciously.
There was no dream all night, and it was already dawn when he was woken up.
The young man rubbed his eyes, his mind was not very clear for a moment, but the person beside him did not speak, but with a movement of his fingers, a column of water sprayed onto the young man's face, and the cold water stimulated his nerves fiercely, and Gu Cheng woke up completely.
He turned his head and saw a strange woman. Rao is his heart is firm, and he is also fascinated by this woman's appearance. He has seen many beauties, such as the landlord is as upright, the ghost prison Xianglian is as charming, and the wonderful hand is as elegant as Tianlin Yueyue...... But there is no one who can compare to the man in front of him.
If it is true, only Shen Yan can compete with her. However, Shen Yanmei is beautiful, but his body is surrounded by male masculinity, and there is no femininity at all, so even if he wears a skirt on the street, no one will admit his mistake.
"W-this girl?" Gu Xiangcheng was inexplicably a little nervous for some reason, he swallowed his saliva, and crawled up, feeling that he must be very embarrassed at the moment.
The woman glanced at him, her eyebrows faint and her thin lips pursed.
Embarrassed.
Gu Xiangcheng touched his hair and touched a few straws. He looked around, but Su Xiaoqin was nowhere to be seen, so he thought in his heart, could it be that Shen Yan had something to recall, but he sent another guide to take him to Qingming Mountain?
Thinking of this, he asked. The woman hesitated for a moment, then nodded slightly. Then without saying a word, he got up and left.
Gu Xiangcheng sat on the ground and was stunned for a while, then quickly got up, ran out of the broken temple, and squatted next to the well in the courtyard to wash.
He thought that if he hadn't met Shen Yan earlier, maybe he would have to go up the sword mountain and go down to the sea of fire for this woman, and there would be no difference between birth and death from now on.
According to Su Xiaoqin, this new woman's name is disgusting Qing, and she is one of the twenty-eight pavilions of Yunxiang Pavilion, and she is also the closest person to Shen Yan. It's just that she was born dumb, can't speak, and has many inconveniences in communicating with people, and after a long time, she has developed this indifferent appearance.
Su Xiaoqin clasped his hands together, looked at him with an apologetic look, and said: "Gu Gongzi, the slave family was urgently summoned by the pavilion master, I am afraid that there is something important, so I can only let the disgusted Qing take him to Qingming Mountain, if there is anything offensive on the way, please don't be surprised." ”
Gu Xiangcheng hurriedly said: "It's okay, since the Lord of Shen Pavilion has something to do, Senior Su will go back." "Anyway, he can walk to Qingming Mountain with or without someone to lead the way, so he doesn't have to worry.
Su Xiaoqin breathed a sigh of relief, left some poison powder pills, and hurriedly left.
Gu Xiangcheng withdrew his gaze and put it on the person who was holding a coarse porcelain tea cup and drinking tea. Sensing his gaze, he raised his eyes lazily and stared at him expressionlessly.
Gu Xiangcheng was not embarrassed when he was discovered, he only smiled slightly, and said, "I am tired of young girl, I will have to work hard in the next few days." ”
Yiqing pursed the corners of his mouth, bowed his head slightly, and then drank the tea, signaling him to hurry up.
The new youth-weary girl is extremely efficient, but she is not as good as Su Xiaoqin, and the two of them only care about hurrying along the way, and they have little conversation. When Su Xiaoqin was there, Gu Jiaocheng could still ask some things about Shen Yan openly and secretly, but now he was disgusted with Qing...... Gu Xiangcheng only felt a headache.
"Misty-young girl, you can't go any further." Gu Xiangcheng frowned and stopped Yiqing, "It's getting late, if we don't find a place to live, we can only sleep in the forest." ”
Disgusted Qing frowned slightly, seemingly very puzzled.
Gu Xiangcheng said helplessly: "The skin is rough and the flesh is thick, and if you sleep in the forest, you will sleep in the forest, and it is not a big deal." It's just that the disgusting girl is a woman after all, so it's better to find a place to live in shelter from the wind and rain. ”
Gu Xiangcheng didn't know why, he just felt that Yiqing and Shen Yan should be the same kind of people, they should be people who were held in the palm of their hands and carefully cared for, how could they be willing to ask her to sleep in the forest? It's dirty and messy, and it's dangerous.
- In case the hero fails to save the beauty, but becomes a beauty to save the bear, it is a shame to say it.
There is nothing wrong with being disgusted. After so many days of traveling, she was also tired, so she followed Gu Xiangcheng into a nearby town with kindness.
As soon as they stepped into the town, both of them looked awe-inspired.
Gu Jiaocheng frowned, staring at the large cloud of thick black gas that shrouded the town. This town looks peaceful, but it doesn't want to be plagued by demons!
The disgusted green pulled his sleeve and wrote in the palm of his hand: "Green Mountain." ”
Gu Xiangcheng suddenly realized that this place was close to the Qingming Mountain, so it was naturally affected by the evil qi on the Qingming Mountain, and the nearby spirits used this as a basis to gradually cultivate into evil demons, disturbing the town from time to time.
The two walked all the way, and from time to time they could see the dilapidated yellow talisman pasted in the corner, thinking that there should be a master who had done the trick to clear the evil spirit in the town for a while, so the town was barely safe. Otherwise, there are hundreds of people in this town, and I am afraid that there will be more than one luck.
Gu Xiangcheng's face sank like water, he couldn't have imagined that Xie Qing's mad demon would endanger the surrounding cities at this point! If you can't clear the evil qi early, and when the power of the spell is exhausted, the group of demons outside will only rush up and slaughter the people in the town.
Thinking of this, he took a deep breath, forcibly suppressed the anger in his heart, turned his head to look at the disgusting youth, and discussed: "Disgusting girl, why don't you and I stay here for a few more days, how about going to Qingming Mountain to deal with the difficult matters in the town?" ”
Disgusted Qing stared at him for a while, and wrote, "If all towns are like this from now on, you have to take care of it too?" ”
Gu Xiangcheng said categorically: "Of course you have to take care of it!" ”
Disgusted with Qing: "But this is just a symptom but not a cure." It is better to rush to Qingming Mountain as soon as possible and kill Xie Qingming. ”
Gu Jiaocheng: "I'm afraid that these people can't wait for the day when Xie Qingming dies, and they will be devoured by things outside first." ”
Tired of being green and no longer writing. She tilted her head, a little disgusted with this kind young man, but she also knew that what he said was true, so she had to agree sullenly.
Gu Jiaocheng was overjoyed, and hurriedly coaxed: "I saw someone selling maltose in the town, I went to buy some and came back for you to eat?" ”
As soon as these words came out, both of them were stunned. After looking at each other for a long time, Gu Xiangcheng ran away, disgusted with the blue and pale.
