Chapter 14: Stealing Wine
The shopkeeper patted his thigh and looked left and right before he whispered: "It's really weird, if you want to say that although there are monsters in this peach blossom mountain, the brave people still dare to hunt and collect medicine, but no one dares to enter this rotten peach valley, a year ago, a sheep herding two stunned because the sheep walked into the rotten peach valley, he also stupidly followed in, and finally found that people and sheep died at the mouth of the valley, the strangest thing is that the corpse is only left with a skeleton, adults do you know, just one day!
Zhang Yuan pondered with a wine glass, and the shopkeeper next to him looked at it and hurriedly said goodbye.
"What's the matter, what problems have you found?" Yan Qingyun asked as she looked at Zhang Yuan, who was thinking.
"There is a problem, one of which is the inexplicable disappearance of the peach tree, and the second is the rotten peach tree and human bones of the peach valley. Zhang Yuan picked up his wine glass and drank a glass and said: "The collective extinction of a species in a place shows that there are foreign natural enemies, but this does not explain the immortality of the peach trees in the rotten peach valley, and the human bones, I suspect that there are ants and monsters in the valley that cause the problem of turning white bones in one day." ”
"What you said may be a gold-eating ant, if it's a gold-eating ant, then it's troublesome, this kind of demon beast is the best to deal with the fire system. Yan Qingyun also guessed.
"Aren't you from the Five Elements, how are you practicing the fire system? Zhang Yuan said curiously.
"You can put a fireball or something, it's bad. Why do you ask so much, the fish you want also came up, and quickly ate us into the mountain. Yan Qingyun suddenly got angry.
"Do you want to urge anything to eat, it's getting less and less gentle. Zhang Yuan sandwiched a piece of fish hair and said vaguely in his mouth.
"What did you say?" Yan Qingyun was taking a fresh fruit to eat.
"It's nothing, I said that this fish is really good, it is fragrant and tender, you can also taste it, senior sister, and this wine is good, I salute senior sister with a glass." Zhang Yuan hurriedly diverted the conversation.
Zhang Yuan saw that he didn't really eat, he tasted a little bit of everything, took the wine gourd and found the shopkeeper, and after a while, Zhang Yuan proudly beckoned Yan Qingyun out of the restaurant together, leaving only the shopkeeper behind with a reluctant face.
The two of them went out of the restaurant, and they didn't have a sword, so they walked towards Peach Blossom Mountain, but they were both very fast. After walking for a while, Yan Qingyun suddenly asked curiously: "What did you and the shopkeeper mutter, he didn't want to!"
Zhang Yuan held back a smile and said: "I didn't say anything, I originally wanted him to lead the way, but I knew that he didn't want to, so I threatened him." ”
Yan Qingyun looked at him suspiciously: "Do you know where the rotten peach valley is, and you still need someone to lead the way?" Why did you bring all the wine gourds from others." ”
Zhang Yuan smiled, patted the wine gourd behind him and said, "You just follow me." ”
In a jungle, Zhang Yuan and Yan Qingyun were hiding in a big tree, nervously watching a group of monkeys in the distance who kept putting the fruits they had picked into a stone mortar, and another monkey was holding stone sticks to mash the fruits. Yan Qingyun was already strange, she was obviously talking about the valley, and she did take herself to the mountain, but it turned out that she had brought herself to find the monkey, and she couldn't wait to kick him down.
"What are you doing, I don't know if time is precious, and I'm still thinking about your monkey wine at this time. Yan Qingyun hated that iron could not become steel, and accused.
"Senior sister, help lure the monkey away, I'll go in and get some wine." Zhang Yuanyuan did not reply to the order.
"Hmph, you want me to help you steal the monkey's wine. Yan Qingyun's chest was bulging, it was magnificent, but unfortunately Zhang Yuan didn't look back to see it, thought about it and said, "Okay, I'll help you trap the monkey directly." After saying that, he jumped directly towards the monkeys.
Zhang Yuan was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly followed and shouted, "Senior sister, don't hurt the monkey, I promised the shopkeeper." ”
When Zhang Yuan arrived, he found Yan Qingyun standing in the middle of the group of monkeys, and the monkeys around her were tied up with water hoses, squeaking and screaming angrily.
Zhang Yuan couldn't help but give a thumbs up: "Senior sister is awesome, she has tied up so many monkeys with one move." ”
Yan Qingyun turned her head and said angrily: "Don't be a sycophant here, don't hurry up and get the wine." Following him, Yan Qingyun also learned a lot of new words.
Zhang Yuan laughed, he felt the aroma of wine on the side of the stone mortar, there was a concave pit under the stone mortar, full of wine, Zhang Yuan unceremoniously filled everything that could be used to hold wine, and then entered a cave on the side, and took away all the wine in several stone altars on the side, and then greeted Yan Qingyun with satisfaction.
Yan Qingyun followed behind Zhang Yuan, watching him laugh proudly from time to time, and couldn't help but sneer: "Is it worth being so happy to steal a few monkeys' wine?"
Zhang Yuan suddenly stopped and turned around, Yan Qingyun almost threw herself into his arms, and hurriedly flashed to the side and scolded: "What are you doing, why did you stop suddenly." ”
Zhang Yuan Zhengse said: "Senior sister, you didn't taste this monkey bar carefully in the restaurant before, you can taste it now." ”
Yan Qingyun saw that his expression was serious, and took the gourd over and tasted it, but felt that in addition to the good taste, there was nothing special about it, so she looked at Zhang Yuan suspiciously.
"You try it. ”
Zhang Yuan knew that such an expression made her a little crazy, and sat down cross-legged according to the words, and found that the exercise was different, and the speed of the exercise was accelerated, although it was still far from catching up with the spring water in the door, it was also comparable to the lower grade spirit stone.
When Zhang Yuan saw her expression, he knew that she had discovered the secret, and immediately smiled proudly: "How about it, I have a small low-grade spirit stone, and I have exchanged so much wine, I am amazing." After speaking, he patted the gourd proudly.
Yan Qingyun also had to admire him now, and he could eat spirit stones after eating, although he didn't look down on these things, but he didn't care about his smug appearance, and said with a smile: "According to what you usually say, half of the score is when you meet, hurry up and bring it, I just saw that you took several gourds, don't want to hide it." ”
Zhang Yuan was stunned for a moment, hurriedly took two gourds out, and stammered: "It is my blessing to honor my senior sister." ”
Yan Qingyun looked him up and down a few times as if she didn't know him, then she took it over and said, "Then I'm welcome." ”
Zhang Yuan saw her take the gourd and said, "The Rotten Peach Valley is on the other side of the mountain, and it will be there soon." ”
Yan Qingyun looked at Zhang Yuan, who turned around and ran out, and couldn't help but think: "Is he stingy from time to time, last time I asked for a little medicinal herb to give him, why did he give me wine so generously this time." Seeing that Zhang Yuan had already run away, he hurriedly followed.
It didn't take long for Zhang Yuan to see a place where peach blossoms were blooming, Zhang Yuan knew that this was the Rotten Peach Valley, so he couldn't help but slow down, looked around vigilantly, and slowly walked towards the valley.
From a distance, I saw that the whole valley was full of peach trees, and the cliffs on both sides of the valley were peach trees, and the trees were full of peach blossoms, and strangely, there were many peaches hanging on the trees.
Zhang Yuan and the others cautiously came to the mouth of the valley, and saw that there was indeed a thick layer of peaches on the ground, and a rotten smell came straight to them.
Zhang Yuan outside the valley said with a smile: "This smell, ordinary people go in, not to mention that there are demon beasts, even if there are none, they will smoke people to death." ”
Yan Qingyun pinched her nose and said with some disgust: "Let's go in, and try to talk as little as possible after entering." ”
The two entered the valley again, this time they were on guard, and finally they were not smoked again, and when they entered the valley, Zhang Yuan saw that the peach trees were densely packed, and there was no road at all, so he had to swing his sword and cut it down, preparing to clear a road.
Just when Zhang Yuan's sword was about to cut into the tree, the tree actually moved and retracted into the ground, and Zhang Yuan was stunned for a moment. Immediately after that, all the surrounding peach trees also moved, countless branches waving and pumping towards them, and the petals flew towards the two of them like darts.
Yan Qingyun has been vigilant, and at this time, she didn't want countless water swords to fly out and spin around herself, trying to crush all the branches and petals that were waving, but she found that the sharp sword in the past could not cut these branches at all, so she could only reluctantly bounce the branches away to ensure that she was okay for the time being, at this time, Zhang Yuan had been wrapped into a big dumpling by countless branches and petals, and her heart couldn't help but sink.
"Haha, cultivator, I didn't expect my peach fairy to have such a sumptuous snack today," a burst of arrogant laughter came from the valley.
"Hey, why can't I suck your flesh essence? Immediately there was another voice of confusion.
Speaking of slowness, things happen in a moment.
Zhang Yuan, who came back to his senses, had already found that he was bound by countless branches, and countless small thorns were born on the branches, piercing into his body.
Zhang Yuan heard the words of this so-called peach fairy at this time, no matter how stupid he was, he knew what was going on with the white bones, seeing that the little thorn couldn't help himself for the time being, he knew that he was okay for the time being, so he was careful about Yan Qingyun's situation, and hurriedly shouted: "Senior sister, how are you?"
Yan Qingyun has been struggling to resist these peach branches and peach blossoms, but there are too many peach branches, and they are not cut at all, at this time, when she heard Zhang Yuan's voice, she immediately shouted happily: "Are you okay, I'm trapped now, I'm here to save you." After speaking, he didn't keep it anymore, the exercises were running at full strength, and he rushed forward five or six steps, and he was about to reach the place where Zhang Yuan was trapped, but the density of the peach branches increased again.
"I don't believe it, I can't suck you. The voice came again.
"Ahh There were more small thorns on his body with that voice, although he was not able to absorb his flesh essence as Peach Fairy's wish, but so many thorns entered his body at the same time, this pain can be imagined.
When Zhang Yuan was in pain, his mind was indeed clearer, and at the moment of life and death, he couldn't care about what to hide and shouted: "Senior sister, don't use a water sword, this is a tree demon, you can use a fire sword to restrain him." ”
Yan Qingyun gritted her teeth, put all the surrounding water swords into her body, and suddenly a mouthful of blood spurted out, her face turned red, and she finally arranged a faint ring of fire in front of Taozhi.
As soon as the peach branch touched the ring of fire, it burned directly into ashes with a bang, and suddenly black ash was flying all around, and there was a roar in the valley in the distance, and the peach branches and petals flying around it retreated one after another.
Yan Qingyun saw that Taozhi was not dead and wrapped around Zhang Yuan, and tried to escape underground, and immediately threw a fireball, the fireball passed, Taozhi avoided it one after another, and soon revealed Zhang Yuan's body, hurriedly leaped over, grabbed Zhang Yuan's hand and quickly retreated outside the valley.
