Chapter 205: Jiuyin Mountain
Xiao Du hesitated, "Okay!" After that, a ray of fire burned and expanded rapidly at his fingertips, and then he shook his hand vigorously, but when he saw a fire light breaking through the sky and water in the pitch-black sky, the water demon's black eyes instantly widened several times, and before it had time to disperse, the spirit body was burned to a corner of the body by the flames, and at the moment when the orange-red fire ball touched it, it suddenly spread rapidly, and in an instant it turned into a dark blue, even Du Yuan himself was surprised, the blazing blue flame annihilated the water demon, accompanied by a miserable wail, but it turned into nothing.
The moonlight poured back on the Wangshui River, and in the blink of an eye, the clouds opened and the moon brightened.
"No ......," Du muttered remotely.
"Remote, look at that." Huang Ying said and swam quickly forward, and the three of them followed, but when they saw a token floating on the sparkling river, it was just the size of an inch, Xiao Huang hurriedly picked it up, and looked at it through the faint moonlight, and there were three words engraved on the front: Yan Ruoshui. Turn over a few words on the back: Jiuyin Mountain Empty Yu Palace.
"Hehe, it turned out to be a monster from Jiuyin Mountain." Du remotely checked the token, "Wait for me!" ”
"Now that you know the origin of this demon animal, the little girl and your brother will also be settled." Gu Yiqiu listened to the first time he spoke, "Seeing that it is the shore, the old man will help people to the end and send you to the shore, but I can't help with the next thing, I am still proficient in the hook in the water, this land, heh, just rely on the destiny of heaven." ”
Du Yuan clenched the token tightly, "Thank you, Elder." ”
"What's polite, I'm not helping in vain, you also paid me money, I have to hurry back to the bottom of the old coffin to ask for wine." After that, Gu Yiqiu swam to the wooden boat, turned over and jumped on the deck neatly, not at all like an old man over seventy years old, and said loudly, "You guys, be sharp!" Don't mistake my steps. ”
The words were only fleeting, and in an instant, Gu Yiqiu returned to his original appearance, and Du Yuan smiled, "Okay! How dare we delay the drunkenness of the old man. With that, the three of them boarded the boat one after another, and arrived at the shore a moment later.
Gu Lao didn't get off the boat, but just stood on the bow of the boat with a bamboo pole in one hand and pinched his waist with the other hand, looking at them and said, "There is no need for the old man to go down, from now on, from the moment you step on the boundary of Qiling Mountain, whether you die or live has nothing to do with the old man, ask for more blessings!" After that, the bamboo pole was picked, the hull was back, and then the rudder was swinged, and the head was not looked back, and the Wangshui River, sprinkled with quicksilver and broken jade, echoed with Gu Yiqiu's high-pitched song, and gradually drifted away.
"Let's go too." Du Yuanyuan sighed a little in his heart, "Hurry up and turn over this Seven Spirit Mountain, without further ado." ”
At this point, the team of five people turned into three people, and quickly disappeared into the snow-capped forest of Qiling Mountain. The climate here is warmer than that of the Hidden Valley, and there are many green and yellow plants growing tenaciously under the snow, and the river is also frozen, but even so, they are still soaked and their teeth are chattering.
The horizon in the distance lit up little by little, and the gray sky reflected the snow all over the ground, plain and silent. They stumbled to the west side of the mountain, where a rugged path winded all the way to the top of the mountain.
"Huang Ying, you can't walk yet." Du asked remotely.
"Walk." Huang Ying gritted her teeth and looked at Xiao Ash, "What about you?" ”
"I'm fine, I'm just worried about you, Sister Xiaohuang, no matter how you say that you are a female ......"
"Shut up." Huang Ying straightened up and took a deep breath, "From now on, you two don't think of me as a woman. ”
Du Yuanyuan lowered his eyes and pulled the corners of his mouth and smiled, "The heroine of the female middle school, hehe." ”
"Say whatever you want." Huang Ying mustered his strength, "Before the sun sets today, we must climb over this mountain." Even though you have the name and address of the monster, can you guarantee that it won't do anything, Fluttershy is still so small, if only ......" She didn't continue, but both of them understood what she meant, and didn't say anything more, picking up the road against the whistling mountain wind, and didn't worry about any weird spirits in broad daylight, as long as she was careful not to accidentally fall down. There was nothing to say here, and at noon the three of them took a breath halfway up the mountain, and the dry food they brought with them had already sunk to the bottom of the river, so they could only quench their thirst with snow, and as for the hungry, they had to carry it. When the sunset on the horizon sank again, and the stars hung high in the night sky, they were not far from the foot of the mountain. But no one said to rest, and now as long as they pause for a moment, they are afraid that they will not have the strength to stand up and continue walking. In this way, they supported each other, and finally arrived at the bottom of the mountain at nine o'clock, and the three of them sat on the ground with their butts and gasped for breath.
"Finally passed the Seven Spirits Mountain." Huang Ying panted.
"It's okay, no surprises." Du Yuanyuan exhaled and looked up, but saw another towering mountain on the other side, "This is Jiuyin Mountain." ”
"Big brother, what's next?" Little Gray asked with a red face from exhaustion.
"I don't know anymore, from here on, the map is blurry, and we can only rely on ourselves." After resting for a while, Xiao Du stood up, "Let's go, sooner or later, it's better to be late than early." ”
The three of them looked up at the mountains under the night sky, and said in a low voice, "Since there is no road, why don't we go up from here, what do you say, big brother." ”
"It's okay, it's all fucking the same anyway." Du Yuanyuan laughed, "Huang Ying has no opinion." ”
"Nope." Huang Ying's beautiful cheeks were stained with snow and dust, and she suddenly smiled, "I have lived for eighteen years, and I have never been so happy!" Remote, thank you, it was you who let me know that there is another scenery in life. ”
"Hehe, I don't want you to know, but I can't help it." Du Yuanyuan sighed, "When things are difficult, you must be bold, and people must be calm in adversity." After a pause, "Let's go!" ”
Instead of looking for a way up the mountain, they went head-on. Compared with Qiling Mountain, Jiuyin Mountain is more precipitous, and there is no road, and it is very difficult to walk with ice, snow and thorns everywhere. The slope is slow and acute, and in some places it is almost vertical up and down, Du Yuan climbs in the front, and after making sure that there is no danger, let the yellow warbler keep up, and the little gray gray is at the end, so that the yellow warbler is in the safest position.
In the middle of the night, they were about a third of the way up the mountain, and Du Yuan stepped on the rocks with one foot, and gasped with one knee in one hand, "I don't know where the empty palace is." ”
"It's strange, why haven't you seen a goblin." Huang Ying frowned and looked around, "Remote, don't you feel a little wrong?" ”
"It's quite strange, according to the owner of the coffin shop, this Jiuyin Mountain should be full of ghosts, but after walking so far, I haven't even seen half of the ghosts."
"Maybe it's not time." Little Ash analyzed.
