Chapter 23: The Tale of Nanshan (3)

Before the construction started, in order to show respect for the mountain god, the lord of the castle personally led people to worship the mountain god and asked for the protection of the mountain god to allow them to dig and dig the ditch smoothly.

In ancient times, it was important to pay attention to the people's food as the sky, and food was the root of the people and the foundation of the country.

But why did they build another aqueduct at this time?

Ye Qing stood at the end of the crowd, her eyes moved away from the ritual process, she looked at the ravine on the side, which used to be the ditch that led water from Qiyang City, about half a zhang wide, one person deep, but the water in the ditch was only knee-high, and there were a lot of gravel, wooden branches, dead leaves and soil.

How did a ditch that should normally be guarded suddenly be destroyed?

Ye Qing looked at it, the mountain a little farther away seemed to be cut by a sharp blade, the sheath was fast, the wound was smooth, she pushed her eyes farther away, and found that the cliff at the top of the mountain was broken by roots...... This reminded Ye Qing of the raccoon force he met earlier, rumored that where the raccoon force appeared, where there would be a lot of soil and water works, and the raccoon force said that she came when she heard that there would be a canal in the vicinity.

Tanuki's "heard" would not be to listen to what humans say, it should be her kind.

Thinking of this, Ye Qing wiped away the doubts in his eyes.

Based on the traces near the ditch, she could be sure that it was a divine power that destroyed the ditch, and that the culprit who destroyed the ditch was a sage!

Divine power is different from spiritual power, even the divine power possessed by those who have just become saints is far superior to the spiritual power held by immortals or demons.

Only the Holy One has the divine power to open up space, to create things and even to life.

Like raccoon power, she is a non-subjective consciousness to absorb the aura between heaven and earth, and then convert it into her own spiritual power, but she only has the consciousness of a human being, so her own spiritual power is very low, she can't even accurately judge where to run, and the spiritual power she has allows her to live longer, unless she has another opportunity.

Another example is Hu Yingfeng, the blood of the nine-tailed fox family is higher than that of ordinary creatures, they are originally divine beasts, they are born with high intelligence, and their bodies contain the spiritual power of their parents, the growth of the nine-tailed fox will be close to that of humans, and then surpass humans, and the nine-tailed fox can generally live for thousands of years.

And like Ye Qing, who became a squirrel, it stands to reason that a low-level creature like her can live for more than ten years, which is already a blessing accumulated in her previous life.

Of course, she's an outlier.

Human beings can surpass ordinary creatures, mainly because of the wisdom possessed by the former, and the high starting point of human beings, so that the number of human beings cultivating to become immortals is far more than that of demons, but the demons who have entered the realm of sages are often more capable than humans, perhaps, because they have experienced more suffering.

In general, the world is fair.

Then again, why did that Sage damage this Qiyang Mountain?

Is the Sage still around?

Seeing that the more she thought about it, the farther she went, Ye Qing pulled her mind back, these questions had nothing to do with her for the time being.

Half an hour later, the ritual is over, and those who want to go up the mountain are allowed to enter.

The four young men who were laughing at Ye Qing and the three of them in front of them took the first step up the mountain with their equipment on their backs, as if they were going to suffer a big loss if they let others take the first step, an old hunter followed behind them. In addition, there were two teams of three people, and when they saw that the group of five people had picked the best mountain road, they left and left to find other roads up the mountain.

"Which way?"

Hu Yingfeng looked at the direction in which the five-person team left, squinted his eyes and said, "It's good to enjoy the shade under the big tree." ”

Waiting for the team in front of them to go away, the three of them slowly walked forward.

Halfway up the mountain, it was getting dark.

Ye Qing took out the vegetable porridge and fresh fruits that he had boiled at home in the morning from the Qiankun bag, and asked Rong Sheng to wash his hands and eat them. Before coming, Ye Qing specially picked out a large-capacity refrigerator, a small generator and all kinds of convenient kitchen utensils, prepared nearly a month's worth of food, and put them all into her Qiankun bag.

Although there was no meat, Hu Yingfeng wanted it fresh and went over to eat it.

He leaned against the trunk of the tree and nibbled on the red apple: "What kind of broken temple will be in this mountain col?" Little leaf, don't go in the wrong direction. ”

It was not Ye Qing who answered him, but Rong Sheng.

"Once upon a time there was a mountain, and there was a temple in the mountain."

The implication is that Hu Yingfeng is lonely and unheard, and there are many temples in the mountain col.

"There are only two temples for monks, and they are also temples." Hu Yingfeng looked at Rong Sheng and smiled ruffianly: "Little monk, why don't you shave your head?" But ready to be vulgar? ”

"It's called following the locals."

"Customs?" Hu Yingfeng grinned and continued to laugh: "Then do you want to eat meat instead?" Will you marry a daughter-in-law in the future? ”

Hu Yingfeng deliberately teased, a touch of red rose on both sides of Rong Sheng's cheeks, he stared at the ground without squinting, and his ears quietly turned red.

He took a breath and whispered, "You wait and see." ”

Hu Yingfeng was about to say something more, but Ye Qing put his hand in front of his mouth: "Shhh ”

The two turned their heads and saw Ye Qing lowering his body, staring at the grass ten meters away.

There was a faint sound of horses' hooves behind the grass, and in about five or six seconds, a wild beast rushed out from behind the grass that was a man tall!

The beast resembled a horse, but it was not a horse, with a pure white head and neck, tiger stripes, and a long dark red tail behind it, and its eyes sparkled with a breathtaking brilliance.

An arrow stuck in its hind hip, blood dripping down its leg and onto the ground, and its long swaying tail turned a bewitching scarlet.

It was obviously lacking in physical strength, but it still ran hard.

It wants to escape!

"Whoosh-" Another arrow chased after him.

The beast was choked by an arrow and fell to the ground, blood gushing out.

"Be careful."

Just when the arrow was shot at the beast, it passed by Hu Yingfeng, Hu Yingfeng's attention stayed on the beast, and he couldn't notice the hidden arrow behind him in time, if Ye Qing hadn't pulled him, he might have been injured by mistake.

If Hu Yingfeng is injured, he will really die before he can get out of school.

Ye Qing promised that she would go to the cemetery to visit Hu Yingfeng, who died young: "By the way, do you want to be buried in the ancient world, or in the Babaoshan Cemetery?" ”

Hu Yingfeng reacted, turned around angrily, and looked at the grass.

And on the other side of the grass, there were the excited voices of several men.

"It took more than ten times to go up the mountain to catch this beast, what a special effort to pay off! Brothers, we can finally go back and exchange for silver! ”

"Let's go and see, is Lu Shu dead?"

As soon as these words fell, the faces of the group that shot the beast appeared.

The person who came out of the grass was the young man who was inexplicably laughing at Hu Yingfeng and them under the mountain.

"Brother Dogskin, there is, there is, someone is here."

The man who ran first stopped and stopped outside the grass, he ran very fast, but a little timid.

"Yo? It's you again! ”

The man in the lead of this team is nicknamed Dogskin, he pushed away the head of the stammering man, glared at a pair of bull's eyes, tore his voice, and yelled at Hu Yingfeng: "Don't give Lao Tzu a hurry up——"

"How do you get out? Will you roll out and show me first? ”

Hu Yingfeng took a dog's tail grass in his mouth, raised his chin, and squinted at it.

Obviously provocative words, a few people only felt a hot breath rushing to their heads.

As soon as Dogskin's hand touched the scimitar at his waist, the man next to him said in his ear: "Brother Dogskin, it seems that they want to pick up the peaches on the ground." ”

"Do you want to ......," the man gestured to wipe his neck.

Several people looked at the dogskin, waiting for his instructions.
