Chapter 24: The Tale of Nanshan (4)
At this time, the old Orion, who was standing at the end, spoke:
"They still have a child with them, and they are not all the way with us, Gou Gui, let them go."
Although they were separated by a distance, the whispered conversations and small movements of several people had already been heard by Ye Qing and Hu Yingfeng.
She glanced at Hu Yingfeng, and then asked Rong Sheng to sit down and continue to drink porridge.
"Brother Dogskin, you, you, look!"
Several people were still discussing, and the woman and child on the other side had ignored them.
Immediately, Dogskin pulled out the scimitar at his waist and walked over with a gloomy look on his face.
"Gou Gui!" The old hunter wanted to stop him.
Dogskin glared at him and warned, "Old fellow, it's none of your business. β
Old Orion looked at the three people opposite him with guilt, and finally turned around and walked away.
Four men, lined up.
Dogskin clenched a large scimitar in his left and right hands, the blade was dazzlingly bright, and he struck the two scimitars twice, and the scimitar made a clattering sound.
He said loudly:
"Little white face, give you two choices, first, kowtow to Lao Tzu three times, Lao Tzu will let you and the boy go down the mountain, and second, Lao Tzu will chop you into meat residues, and none of you can leave."
Several people's eyes moved to Ye Qing, containing naked greed, they had already noticed her, the man who nested in the ravine all the year round liked this kind of little girl with fine skin and tender flesh the most.
Lushu is theirs, and the women are theirs.
Several men are young, and they are doing this job again, and they all have the motivation of newborn calves who are not afraid of tigers, and they have been working for two years, and they have tasted the sweetness, and they still have the ruthlessness of wolf cubs.
Dogskin said cruelly, but when he saw Hu Yingfeng, who looked "weak" on the other side, he stretched out three fingers:
"I'll pick third."
"No, there is no third!" The stammering man corrected his words.
"The third is that you kneel down and apologize to the master, otherwise, you will sleep here with this Lushu."
Several people's faces changed, and they rushed forward together.
Even if he doesn't have spiritual power, Hu Yingfeng is easy to deal with a few hairy boys, he changes very quickly, and there are many tricks to clean up people, and fighting with people is like a cat playing with a mouse.
Dealing with mortals who are far from his strength, it would seem too boring to kill the other party directly, and his general approach is to give that person hope first, and then disappoint that person.
"Stop playing."
Ye shouted lightly, and Hu Yingfeng was so abusive that he ignored her.
Ye Qing had no choice but to get up and kick one person away, until he kicked the four men to the ground and couldn't get up again.
Several men were dumbfounded, it turned out that this little girl was the ruthless character, and her spirit and body suffered a double blow, and the men covered their chests and even felt extremely difficult to breathe.
"Why did you hunt Lushu?" Ye Qing stood in front of the stammering man who was the least injured and looked down at him.
"Ba, Baba...... Mr. Ba's notice. β
When I asked, I learned that it was the rich man in Zhuyang City, Mr. Ba, who had died of his son again, Mr. Ba was already six out of fifty, not to mention his son, he didn't even have a daughter, he finally had a son a few months ago, and he died again when the moon was full.
A Taoist priest told Master Ba that there is a beast named Lushu in the mountains, which was originally a divine object in the sky, and its roar is like a singer singing, and mortals can have many children and grandchildren if they wear the fur of Lushu.
So, the old man Ba issued a notice, spent a lot of money in exchange for the fur of this animal, driven by interests, the hunters and strong men in the city went up the mountain one after another.
When the old hunter came back, Ye said lightly: "You can bring Lu Shu back." β
Anyway, Lu Shu is dead, so it's better to let someone bring it to Master Ba, who is missing a child, otherwise someone will always go up the mountain to hunt.
The old hunter hurriedly thanked him, and looked at a few people on the ground after speaking.
"Let them stay and worship the mountain gods."
"Girl, they are not evil by nature, but they are ......" the old Orion himself could not speak.
Ye Qing raised his eyebrows: "You want to accompany them?" β
The old hunter tied up the deer, put it on a burlap bag, and put the rope on his shoulder, and he didn't say anything more, but hurried down the mountain while it was not dark.
After the people left, she tied the four of them to a tree: "Life and death are fateful, whether you can live or not depends on your creation." β
According to the guidance of the Buddha beads, Ye Qing and the three of them went to the top of the mountain, but they found nothing.
When I looked at the beads again, it actually lost its luster.
"GPS ...... out"
Before the word "invalid" in Hu Yingfeng's mouth was finished, the moon was dark and the wind was high, and a nine-tailed fox suddenly appeared on the top of Qiyang Mountain.
"What's going on?"
Ye Qing applied mana again, and Hu Yingfeng still maintained the original form of the nine-tailed fox.
After trying this a few times, there was no change in the nine-tailed fox.
He sat on the ground, depressed.
I don't know if it's because of the abnormal spiritual power in Hu Yingfeng's body, or if there is something wrong with Qiyang Mountain, they can only find a cave to rest first, and then go forward tomorrow, hoping that someone can know the exact location of the nearby temple.
But on the second day, Hu Yingfeng still failed to regain his human form.
There was no one nearby, and there were no demons with spiritual sense, Ye Qing had to take Rong Sheng and the nine-tailed fox to leave Qiyang Mountain, it was strange to say, there was no one in the mountains recently, even if it was almost winter on weekdays, no one could see it.
Flying to Jishan, Ye Qing finally saw a big living person in the belly of the mountain.
Ye Qing was still in mid-air, and the man on the ground had raised his head and stretched his neck, looking at her with curiosity in his eyes.
The man looked to be in his early thirties, with an ordinary appearance, slightly darker-complexion, a brown robe, a belt made of hemp rope tied around his waist, several small gourds hanging from the belt, and he was clutching a chΓ‘ng fΕ« that he had just caught.
[Shang Bird] It is a bird of Kishan, with three heads, six eyes, and three wings, this bird is extremely intelligent and alert, and rarely falls into the hands of others, and mortals who eat its flesh can reduce sleep.
The man was not afraid of the woman who fell at all, he looked at Ye Qing and Rong Sheng with great interest, and finally focused his eyes on the gray-black nine-tailed fox.
He stared at the nine-tailed fox and licked his lips without a trace.
However, after just one glance, the man quickly looked away.
"Uncle?"
The man looked at Ye Qing, squeezed out a Sichuan character in the center of his eyebrows, and the corners of his mouth twitched: "The little girl is so smart, why do you speak so unpleasantly?" β
Ye Qing twisted her eyebrows, where did she say it wrong?
The man corrected her: "It should be the eldest brother." β
"Big brother, is there a temple around here?"
Seeing that she immediately changed her words, the man was in a good mood: "Are you talking about Huilu Temple?" β
There was only one temple in the entire Nanshan mountain system, and with the general direction of the previous Buddhist beads, the only place they were looking for should be there.
At this time, the Buddha beads were useless, and Ye Qing and they could only rely on the people who knew the location of the Huilu Temple.
"Where is it?"
"Little girl, where are you going, what are you doing? It's so far away and so far away that if no one leads you, you'll probably not be able to find that place. β
The man did not directly say where the temple was, but suggested that he could take them there.
Ye Qing didn't speak, and the man carefully counted the dangers that he might encounter on the road, with a sincere expression, and persuaded Ye Qing not to take risks.
Ye Qing listened quietly, she had already seen that he was not simple, although the man was a mortal, he was not afraid when he saw her flying, and he was not afraid when he saw the nine-tailed fox.
Seeing that she didn't talk, the man smiled and continued: "I have been guarding Jishan for more than 30 years, and I recently caught a stalk. β
It is also a kind of beast endemic to the base mountain, it looks like a sheep, it does not have good eyesight, it has excellent hearing, it can know any wind and grass immediately, and people will not feel afraid when they put on its fur.
The man didn't want to explain why he wasn't afraid of Ye Qing, what he wanted to express meant that he was very familiar with the neighborhood.
"There is an old saying that is good, there is a fate to meet thousands of miles away, little sister, I think we are quite fateful, you can call me a Xishi Mountain person, hehe, do you want to go to the Huilu Temple? I can take you there, just ......."
The people of Xishi Mountain stared directly at the nine-tailed fox, and the nine-tailed fox was uncomfortable.
"He doesn't have any special fetishes, does he?"
"Xiao Yezi, you must not promise him, no matter what he says!"
Ignoring the fried nine-tailed fox, Ye Qing asked, "Just what?" β
