Chapter 19: The Golden Cicada Sheds Its Shell
Then again, after the old man's expression was sluggish for a moment, he put a slight smile on his face, tried to make himself look more amiable than before, and said, "Here's how it ......."
"The old man followed the mark on this rebel and kept chasing after him, but I don't know why three and a half hours ago, the mark suddenly disappeared."
"I didn't see the smoke of firewood coming from here until I saw it, and I thought that the rebel would be here......"
It didn't take long for Mu Yuan to know that this old man was coming for the man in white before under a series of explanations from the old man.
Although the old man's words were all avoided without mentioning the Spirit Valley, how could he hide that he had experienced a lot of things at the age of sixteen and was very intelligent and witty.
"Good...... It seems that I have seen it, and I still allow the juniors to think about it. ”
Mu Yuan frowned and thought deeply, but in essence, he was thinking about how to get out, he had long known that the face of the beast in front of him had already remembered these treasures on his body.
He should not have put the boots on his feet or the ring on his hands until it was too late to regret it.
And even if Mu Yuan repents of his heart, it doesn't matter. Now, he's probably doomed!
However, he is not the master who sits idly by. No, just thinking about it for a moment, a flash of inspiration quickly occurred in my mind.
Since you are so anxious to know the man in white who has already entered the Netherworld to meet the king of Yama to redress his grievances, and Lao Tzu just wants to reach Kunyang Mountain as soon as possible, then why don't you borrow the power of the king?
Thinking of this, Mu Yuan pretended to have a bright eye, instantly struck a palm, looked a little excited, and said, "Yes, that's right!" It should be him! ”
"He also looks like a middle-aged man, and he exudes a very strong smell of spirit fruits."
"He is also dressed in white and carries a long sword in his hand, the person you are looking for should be him."
"What should be? Make it clear to the old man! The voice was a little loud, and the old man frowned, very dissatisfied with Mu Yuan's words.
And in view of the fact that he didn't know the whereabouts of the junior brother, he pretended to be embarrassed and said, "Oh, the old man is too anxious to scare you, right?" ”
"I didn't ...... It's okay! Mu Yuanxiao said fearfully.
"It's okay, that's good, that's good!" After listening to Mu Yuan's reply, the old man seemed to be completely relieved, and then asked, "Then do you know where that person is now?" ”
In fact, the old man's heart is so uncomfortable at the moment!
Like thousands of ants crawling away in it, he especially wanted to slap Mu Yuan into meat sauce with one palm at the moment, it was too fucking grinding.
Fortunately, Mu Yuan didn't let the old man wait long, and the two of them stepped on a small white cloud, and flew smoothly in the misty sky of the sunset, straight to the direction given by Mu Yuan before, and moved forward at great speed.
"Wow...... It turns out that flying in the sky feels like this! Huge mountain peaks, vast Pingchuan, wide mountain ranges, everything is in front of you here, and all of a sudden it has become smaller! ”
"But I always feel that this continent is too big, no matter how you look at it, you can't see the end, senior, do you know how big this continent is?"
On that little white cloud, Mu Yuan was next to the old man, screaming loudly for a while, looking at the east and the west for a while, standing there pointing up and down, and enjoying himself.
"You kid shut up the old man! If you accidentally fall from here, don't blame the old man for not reminding you! ”
The old man was anxiously looking for his junior brother in his heart, where would there be any spare time to deal with Mu Yuan's crackling nonsense.
If it weren't for the fact that he hadn't completely found the whereabouts of that junior brother, he would have kicked this kid off his white cloud condensed by his own spiritual power at this moment.
Doesn't this kid know that people are sweating profusely on their faces?
In fact, for Mu Yuan, who was already carried by a giant eagle at the age of eight, high-altitude flight has long been commonplace.
Now he is just trying to make himself act more like, and to confuse the old man, so let's do it.
He also knew that while the old man was flying on the clouds, he was also consuming the spiritual power in his body all the time, and besides, this was still two people in parallel in the air.
It is conceivable that the consumption of the old man's spiritual power is even greater.
It is said that Mu Yuan saw that the old man was angry, and his mood was much more restrained, and he no longer violated the old man's bottom line, and he was quiet.
However, his eyes were a little confused at the moment, and he was also a little looking forward to it, longing for the day when he could also have the old man to walk in the clouds at a height of more than three hundred zhang or more.
Well, that day will come! In advance, now you have to escape from the hands of this bad old man to have a chance to have those dreams.
……
Unconsciously, the night has come, the stars are twinkling, and the bright moon is like a guiding light, shining on the earth, so that the night is not so monotonous, not so dark and not so dark.
"Hey, you kid can't get the wrong direction, why hasn't it been so long?"
Seeing that after such a long time and not yet reaching the destination indicated by Mu Yuan, the old man couldn't help but be a little suspicious.
"Senior, don't you know, that man in white is not alone on the road."
"What do you mean by that?" The old man asked impatiently.
"This ...... I'm afraid that if you say this, maybe your predecessors won't believe it. Mu Yuan said hesitantly.
"If you kid grind like this again, believe it or not, the old man will kick you down!"
The old man's endurance had obviously been infinitely pushed to the critical point by Mu Yuan's grinding.
"Don't ...... Don't! Junior, this is how it happened......"
Seeing that his pre-planned plan had succeeded in angering this bad old man, Mu Yuan simply stopped procrastinating, and told him one by one.
"What! Are you saying that the rebel still has a mount, and it's actually a third-order spirit beast? ”
The old man wondered, if his ears had heard it wrong, it was a spirit beast mount whose cultivation was comparable to that of him, a condensing cultivator!
Although it was only a spirit beast in the middle of the third order, and had not reached the fourth order, the spirit beast was born with a combat power that was stronger than that of the human race.
Fortunately, his cultivation was already in the late stage of the condensation stage, and he was only half a step away from the Huachen level, even if he encountered it, he didn't need to worry too much at that time.
It's just that the cultivator's cultivation is only in the middle of the Qi Gathering Stage, and how did he subdue that spirit beast?
Is this kid lying? Or is it true? Or is that not the person you are looking for?
The more the old man thought about it, the more confused he became.
"Yes, it was a spirit beast that was not very common, and it was unbelievable to the juniors, and they were also frightened at that time."
"The younger generation knows that his cultivation is very good, and he is not even worthy of lifting shoes in front of his predecessors, so he doesn't dare to hide anything, let alone lie to his seniors."
Mu Yuan once again expressed his "sincerity", and tried to mislead the old man's thinking, and continued: "I wonder if the predecessors have heard of the blood oath?" ”
"Are you saying that the old man's rebel son has probably reached a certain agreement with that spirit beast!"
The old man exclaimed, feeling that it was not easy to recover those flame fruits, especially to retrieve those "hanging grasses".
Mu Yuan added again, and said, "Maybe it's a coincidence, when the junior happened to be hunting, he heard the man say that he would go to Yangshan Village to hide for a while. ”
"Yangshan Village? So you mean you know this village? ”
"Yes, for this, you can put down a hundred hearts in the seniors, because the juniors have grown up in that mountain village since they were children, and they are very familiar."
"It's just that the juniors are a little far away from that mountain village, and according to today's flight speed, it is roughly estimated that it will be close to tomorrow noon at the earliest."
"Little rabbit, why didn't you tell the old man earlier!"
When the old man said this, he grabbed Mu Yuan's arm angrily, began to reorient himself, and landed in a mountain forest, looking for a place to breathe.
Of course, Mu Yuan could only obediently stay within the range of the old man's permission, and nibbled on the big grilled fish that he picked up and harvested before.
Ordinary food in the mundane world is dispensable for the old man who is already in the late stage of condensation, and he does not need it much.
As long as he meditates and breathes for a while, he can get rid of the hunger in his body.
At this time, the old man was meditating and pranayama to replenish the excessive spiritual power consumed by the previous flight in the sky, so as to facilitate the next hurried.
Mu Yuan was so hungry that the four or five catties of grilled fish were wiped out for him in a few clicks.
He looked at the old man, stroked his belly with his hand, and stopped talking.
In the end, he could only smash his mouth, so he greedily found a place, and soon fell asleep.
The next day, under the guidance of Mu Yuan, the old man came to a stop in front of a river.
"It's home!"
Mu Yuan arched his hands towards the old man in front of him who was a little sleepy due to the excessive consumption of spiritual power in the sky flight, and said with a sincere look: "Thank you seniors, you have you on the way!" ”
The old man didn't notice that Mu Yuan's words had any other meaning, and now what made him feel strange was that this place was completely different from what he had imagined before.
Where does this mountain village come from, except for a surging river that falls off a thousand cliffs, the rest is a mountain field and a few peaks.
"It's just that this is a mountain wasteland, and the mountain village called Yangshan you mentioned before doesn't exist."
When the old man said this, his eyes suddenly widened and his voice was raised very high, "Could it be that your kid is deceiving the old man?" ”
"Yes, as you can see, there are no mountain villages here."
Mu Yuan took advantage of the fact that the old man had focused his attention on the mountains and wilderness before, and he had quietly moved away from him at a distance of six or seven zhang.
By this time, he was already standing on the edge of the cliff, his hands clasped between his fingers, and he swiped lightly on the storage ring with one thumb.
Hearing Mu Yuan's unscrupulous words, the old man suddenly became angry, looked at Mu Yuan fiercely, and scolded angrily: "You...... Are you getting impatient? Believe it or not, the old man kicked you off the cliff ......"
However, before he could say the next words, he saw Mu Yuan take out a pair of winged flying machines similar to the wings of a bat, which were constructed from animal skins, several wooden frames, and the feathers of some birds, from the storage ring, and quickly put them on them.
Seeing all this, the old man's eyes suddenly widened, he was angry, and at the same time he was a little anxious, secretly screaming that this kid was going to escape.
Then he rushed towards Mu Yuan's side.
It's just that his actions have long been expected by Mu Yuan, and they won't give him a chance.
"It doesn't bother you!"
Dropping such a sentence, Mu Yuan immediately unfolded the pair of wings behind his back and leaped towards the cliff.
"Lao Tzu made a bet, bet you don't dare to jump! Hahaha......"
