Chapter 204: The Woodcutter and the Shepherd Boy
Lingchuan didn't want others to mistakenly think that he was in the same group as Niu Yong's grandfather and grandson, so he hid aside and pretended not to know them.
The middle-aged man picked up a plaster, and when he asked the price, he was shocked that a plaster was asked for two yuan stones.
On the Spirit Seeking Continent, there are different sizes of Yuan Stones, and only seventeen or eighteen ordinary size Yuan Stones are needed for a fierce horse.
Although the flesh hurts, but being shouted by Grandpa Niu to die or live, he can only consider himself unlucky, pay the bill, scratch his head and leave.
"Grandpa, you screamed so badly just now, I almost thought you were really going to die. Niu Yong smiled naturally, and didn't feel that there was anything wrong with what he said.
"It's not easy to do business!" Grandpa Niu put the plaster he had sold back into the distance.
"That's right, grandpa, ...... over there" Niu Yong pointed in the direction where Lingchuan was, wanting to tell grandpa that the monk brother was back.
Grandpa Niu's eyes widened, and he let out a 'shhh', interrupting Niu Yong's words, and suddenly rushed forward, directly hitting Lingchuan's body......
"Damn!" Lingchuan was startled and hurriedly jumped back.
"Oops, hit someone......" Grandpa Niu fell to the ground, screaming, just like the scene just now.
"Damn, the porcelain touched me!" Lingchuan was shocked and helpless.
"Grandpa, grandpa!" Niu Yong hurriedly chased after him, "he ...... He's not human......"
"Oh, it's really not human to knock the old man like this!" Grandpa Niu didn't raise his head and shouted homeopathically.
"Grandpa, he, he's a spiritual monk who saved our lives. Niu Yong opened his mouth to explain.
"What?" Grandpa Niu stopped crying and looked up at Lingchuan, "Yo Yo Yo, it turned out to be a spiritual monk......! What a coincidence. He patted the dirt off his body, smiled stiffly, and stood up.
Hearing what he said, Lingchuan almost suffered an internal injury, "Yes, it's quite unfortunate...... Are you okay old man?"
"If you want to say it's not good, can you give some money to see a doctor?"
"This ......" Lingchuan was really speechless.
"I'm fine!" he grinned, his kind eye.
Lingchuan smiled awkwardly, and after hesitating for a moment, he still took out the only few yuan stones from his arms and handed them to Grandpa Niu, "In the future, I will still do some serious business, don't be like this." ”
"One, two...... Six yuan stones can't do serious business, is there anything else?"
Lingchuan sighed, "This is all my belongings!"
"Alas, it turns out that the spiritual monks are also so poor. ”
Lingchuan was afraid that he would be angry if he stayed any longer, so he asked directly, "Grandpa Niu, what happened in Jingyu Tiandong recently?"
"It's nothing~"
"Nothing?" Lingchuan wondered.
If Gollum is sealed in place again, something should happen during this period, the side of the Bafang Heavenly Array has been detected by the ghost, just in case, the Qinglin Sect will definitely send people to guard against it, ordinary people should not be easy to get close again, how can nothing happen?
"It's not that there is no situation, but that Jingyu Tiandong is gone! Otherwise, with my ability to make wine, I would go to the streets to do this kind of thing?"
"Jingyu Heavenly Cave is gone,......," Ling Chuan exclaimed.
"Yes! The cave was washed away by a heavy rain the other day, and now it is a big lake, gloomy, and no one dares to go there on weekdays. Niu Yong took over the conversation.
"What a big deal!" Ling Chuan sighed in his heart. He didn't believe that a single rain could wash away the cave, and that it was even more unusual that it suddenly became gloomy.
This convinced him that Gollum had been brought back, because, if it weren't, there wouldn't have been any need to go through such a big deal.
As for why Jingyu Heavenly Cave disappeared, you still need to get there to know.
"Brother Monk, what are you asking Jingyu Tiandong to do?" Niu Yong then asked.
"I want to revisit the old place. ”
"Then I guess you won't have a chance in your life!" Niu Yong said casually.
"Yes, yes...... It's going to rain, so go home early, or you'll get drenched. Lingchuan couldn't help but tease, and then turned around and left.
Grandpa Niu was still playing with the Yuan Stone in his hand, and when he looked up and saw Lingchuan walking away, he complained to Niu Yong, "You kid, why don't you tell him that there are monsters in the big lake, and anyone who goes there will be thrown out." ”
"The eldest brother is a spiritual monk, and he is not afraid of monsters......"
Out of Sedum Town, Lingchuan jumped towards the direction where Jingyu Heavenly Cave was located.
The mountain is still lush and green, but I didn't see anyone along the way.
After a while, he stood in front of a green open field at the top of the mountain, looking puzzled......
According to his memory, the front should be the original location of Jingyu Heavenly Cave, but at this moment, the original pinnacle has disappeared, replaced by a lake surrounded by weeping willows.
Wisps of cold air are coming out of the lake, filling the air, and even at noon, there is no sunlight, and the eerie atmosphere is full of chills.
"This ...... How does this look like it was washed out by water?" Lingchuan was shocked and a little puzzled.
He had thought that if Gollum was really brought back here, there would definitely be many spiritual cultivators nearby to guard him and prevent people from approaching, but right now, there didn't seem to be any guards around......
"Big brother, big brother!"
Just when Lingchuan hesitated, he suddenly heard a child's voice, so he looked around in surprise, and dozens of meters away on the left, behind a thick and leafy tree covered with moss, he saw a child poking out his head......
The child was only five or six years old, with white cheeks, red cheeks, finger-length braids on the top of his head, and shaved hair all around.
"Didn't Niu Yong say that no one dares to come in normal times? How can there be a child here?" Lingchuan felt that it was not normal, so he didn't step forward directly.
"Big brother!" Seeing that Lingchuan didn't move, the child then shouted, his tone was already crying, "I, I'm lost, my foot is twisted, and the green yak has lost ......."
"It turned out to be a shepherd boy who came out to release the green yak, and got lost and ran here. Isn't it just a child, what are you afraid of? It's all soldiers!" Lingchuan laughed at himself and replied, "Don't be afraid, I'll go over now." "Straight ahead.
If the Yak is equivalent to a horse on the earth, then the green yak is a cow on the earth, almost twice the size of an ordinary cow, herbivorous, flat, with horns on the top of the head, green throughout the body, which can produce milk and can also be used for meat.
"Where did you twist?" Lingchuan stepped forward, bent down, and looked at the little guy.
The shepherd boy sobbed a few times and pointed to the ankle of his left leg, "Thank you, big brother, if I hadn't seen you, I, I would have been scared to death." ”
Lingchuan shook his head and smiled, stretched out his hand and gently kneaded his ankle a few times, the ankle was a little swollen, it was indeed twisted, but it did not hurt the bones.
"What's your name, how did you get here, do you know where it is?"
The shepherd boy was in pain, sighed, pouted, and looked helpless, "My name is Mingshan...... I don't want to! My big green used to come here to graze, but then there was a big flood, and it became strange here, and my father wouldn't let me come up. ”
But today, if you don't pay attention, Big Green runs up again. I can't tell the direction here, and the big green is gone......"
What Mingshan said was reasonable, Lingchuan didn't think much about it, raised his eyes and searched around, but he didn't find any herbs to heal the wounds, so he said, "You wait here for the eldest brother first, I'll deal with some things, and after the matter is over, I'll send you down the mountain." ”
"Mmmm, thank you, big brother, you are my savior, I will definitely repay you!" Compared to Niu Yong, Mingshan is much more sensible, "Big brother, you ...... Can you help me find the big green?"
Mingshan looked expectant.
Lingchuan knew that the big green in Mingshan Pass referred to his family's green yak, and now he didn't know how to find Gollum for a while, in short, he wanted to look around, and he could help the little guy by the way, so he nodded.
"Great! Thank you, big brother!" Mingshan was very excited, and suddenly looked into the distance and shouted, "Big green, big green!"
"Moo~"
At this moment, a roar more penetrating than the barking of a cow came, and then a big green guy walked out of the woods a few hundred meters away, shook his head, and walked slowly to the lake.
"What a strange-looking big guy...... Lingchuan was taken aback when he saw the green yak for the first time, in his opinion, many creatures on the Spirit Hunting Continent were like science fiction movies.
"Huh?"
Suddenly, Lingchuan let out a startled sigh and frowned. He found that there was actually a person by the lake where the green consumption appeared, not far behind!
A man wearing a straw hat and not seeing clearly, sitting cross-legged by the lake, fishing as if nothing had happened.......
"Why is he fishing here? Mingshan called for help just now, didn't he hear it? Why didn't he move? Why didn't I see him just now?"
A series of doubts appeared in Lingchuan's mind, making him instinctively feel that this fisherman was not normal......
