Ye Qing has been dreaming for more than 900 years, she has also traveled in ancient time and space in a dream, and in hundreds of years, the mountains and rivers she has stepped on and the monsters she has seen are still just the tip of the iceberg.

Rong Sheng nodded slightly: "Okay." ”

Affected by Ye Qing, Rong Sheng straightened his back and clenched his small hands into fists.

Just as when they entered, through the light cluster, the two of them were in the other world.

The surroundings were quiet, Ye Qing quickly looked around, and found no danger, her tense nerves relaxed.

On closer inspection, this place she had been to before.

They are in a valley, two mountains on the left and right, the mountains are full of bright flowers, bees collect honey, colorful butterflies play, there is a small stream flowing slowly in the mountains, an elk, is licking the sweet stream with its head down, at the foot of the mountain, there are big trees of different shapes, some like waiters carrying lanterns, some like fairies dancing with long sleeves, and some seem to be ordinary trees, but the branches bear golden fruit...... Looking back ahead, between the two mountains facing due west, the sun is like a pearl held in the palm of the hand.

It is coming to the end of the Shen hour, when the sun sets.

The sunset lazily sprinkled on the side of the mountain, as if draped in a golden feather coat, everything seemed so comfortable and calm, and the ancient times were so beautiful as a picture.

The painting in front of me is called Chaoyang Valley.

Ye Qing put Rong Sheng down and said, "Rong Sheng, this place is called Chaoyang Valley. ”

Rong Sheng took a look, but asked, "Where is the temple?" ”

Ye shook his head lightly and took his hand: "There is no temple around here, let's go forward first, and find a place to rest before dark, so as not to disturb the strange old man living in the river in front." ”

"Is the old man a monster?"

"He's a monster, to be exact, but he always likes to call himself a god."

Hearing the word "demon beast", Rong Sheng's little hand pulled tighter, and he looked at Ye Qing: "Does it look scary?" ”

Ye Qing thought for a moment and continued:

"The book says that he has a face like a human face, but he has eight heads, a body like a tiger, but ten tails, and his name is Tianwu." The book mentioned by Ye Qing refers to the "Classic of Mountains and Seas", a book that records the myths and stories of monsters and gods, and includes information about geographical features such as mountains and rivers, plants, etc.

In later generations, no one knew who wrote the "Classic of Mountains and Seas".

Ye Qing boldly guessed that the person should have accidentally traveled through the gap in time and space, went to ancient time and space, and stayed there for thousands of years, recording what he saw and heard; Perhaps, the author himself is from the ancient time and space, and after Yichen opened up a new time and space, he unexpectedly left the ancient times.

Comparing the two speculations, Ye Qing leaned towards the former, because some of the descriptions of demon beasts in the "Classic of Mountains and Seas" did not match what she had seen and heard.

Taking Tian Wu as an example, the Tian Wu Ye Qing saw was not a demon beast with eight heads and ten tails.

In fact, a later saying is still more similar, Tianwu, the prototype is a white tiger with black lines, the tail is longer than the body, and it is called Yu.

The explanation of "Yu" in the ancient Chinese dictionary has this article, Yu - the upper tiger head, the lower is Wu, which is Tianwu.

When Ye Qing left Lingkun Mountain, according to the concentration of spiritual energy, Tianwu should be more than nine thousand years old, he often lived by the river, ran extremely fast, and was a strange old man who liked to shout loudly. What kind of demon beast he is, Ye Qing has never seen it, so she doesn't know, but she can be sure that he is definitely not a human.

Even if the demon beast turns into a human form, the aura of the monster is still different from the aura of a human.

Rong Sheng was only four years old, and when he heard that Tianwu had eight heads and ten tails, he couldn't help but feel a little worried: "Then we ...... Are you still going over there? ”

Seeing that Rong Sheng was scared, she specially explained to him what she had seen Tianwu, and Rong Sheng was greatly relieved to learn that Wu did not have eight heads and ten tails that day.

"There are only two roads in Chaoyang Valley, one side is the Black Tooth Country, and the other side is the Qingqiu Country." Ye Qing pointed to his Buddha beads: "Look at the Buddha beads, the more we go in the direction of Qingqiu, the brighter it becomes." ”

Buddhist beads not only have the effect of transmission, but also have the effect of positioning.

"Gently, are there monsters in the Black Tooth Country and Qingqiu Country you are talking about? Do the youkai there eat people? ”

Frightened by the leopard-like Zhuqian in Futu Temple, Rong Sheng now fears and hates those demon beasts, especially those monsters that are brutal and can eat people.

Ye squatted down, took his hand, and said softly:

"Normal monsters don't eat people, and there are vegetarians like you."

The little guy's eyes widened: "Vegetarian!" ”

Ye Qing wanted to say something like herself, but when the words came to her mouth, she still didn't say it, Rong Sheng thought she was a fairy, and the "fact" that she was a human being was better than a squirrel.

Seeing that Ye Qing was not worried about Tianwu at all, Rong Sheng followed a little bolder, and the two walked north, and Ye Qing introduced him to the Black Tooth Country.

"Black Tooth Country, as the name suggests, the teeth of the people there are all black!"

"Their black teeth are said to be born, and some say they are dyed with a plant juice from a young age, and a little bit every day until they turn completely black. I went there once a long time ago and kicked out because I was so white......"

"The skin of the Blacktooth people is also as black as coal, and it is a little late, so you have to make a lantern to find someone." Ye Qing laughed as she spoke, Rong Sheng couldn't help laughing, and she continued: "Actually, their facial features are three-dimensional and their bodies are fit, but they are too dark. ”

"They have a tradition of taking a bath once a year, washing their hands a little more often, but they don't wash their hands more than the elbow, they feel that bathing too often, it will wash away the aura condensed in the body, so they think that bathing is not to remove dirt from the body, but to wash away the filth on the soul, waiting to receive a new aura. On the fifth day of May, the whole country of the Black Tooth celebrates the day of bathing. ”

"They eat rice, their meat is mainly snakes, they feed goshawks, and they train eagles to catch spirit snakes for them."

"They don't like to go out yet, they like to stay in the same place for the rest of their lives, live their own little life......"

When it comes to the country of black teeth, Ye Qing thinks of "chiseling teeth", and I heard that it is a certain southern tribe, and their custom is very special, when they are about fifteen years old, they will have all their teeth pulled out as a rite of passage.

Rong Sheng listened with relish, and naturally forgot his previous apprehension.

"As for Qingqiu, you'll know when you go and see."

The two of them will approach the river, and the river will suddenly stir up a monstrous splash!

Ye Qing and Rong Sheng were caught off guard and poured into a soup chicken, Rong Sheng's eyes were good, he pointed to the opposite side and said in surprise: "Gently, that's a fox!" One two three...... A fox with nine tails! ”

Ye Qing covered his mouth and hid behind him with him.

She used her mana to dry Rong Sheng's wet clothes and glanced at the river.

The two shadows are entangled with each other, one chasing each other, and the other trying to escape.

"That's the nine-tailed fox in Qingqiu, let's go, don't disturb them."

I don't know what grievances they have, but Ye Qing is obviously not interested in knowing, she doesn't want to get into trouble.

The one who chased the nine-tailed fox was Tianwu, he had to ignore people, even if he didn't pay attention, he was also unreasonable.
