As Mu Lingzi said, after half an hour, the leaves began to fall off slowly, and the zhu fruit became more purple and red, and there was a fragrance in the air, and I felt refreshed when I smelled it.

Zhang Yuan knew that this Zhu Guo was ripe, so he couldn't help but glance at Mu Lingzi, and said secretly: This stinky Taoist priest is really a bit famous.

Mu Lingzi looked at Zhu Guo nervously, and suddenly said: "Okay, Zhu Guo is about to fall, don't give him the ground, you take the one over there." ”

When Zhang Yuan heard this, he also hurriedly prepared, and in an instant, all the Zhu Guo withered, and the Zhu Guo fell down like this, and the two of them pounced almost at the same time, ready to catch Zhu Guo.

Suddenly a red shadow flashed, and the two Zhu Guo were gone, Zhang Yuan hurriedly jumped up, looked around angrily, and saw a fiery red mink standing under a tree not far away, holding two Zhu Guo in his mouth, seeing Zhang Yuan's view, he raised his head proudly, and Zhu Guo rolled down his throat, and Zhang Yuan even heard the sound of him swallowing.

Zhang Yuan has never gotten anything in his hand, the precedent of being snatched away by a demon beast, with an angry roar, he picked up the stick and was about to go up to beat this little demon beast, but he just took two steps forward, and was stopped by Mu Lingzi, only to hear him say with great heartache: "This mink can't be beaten, he is the favorite of Miss Qifeng Valley, and he can't run away if he beats both of us." "There is a sentence in the back that he didn't say, you can't hit him.

Mu Lingzi turned his head and scolded at Mink again: "You damn brute, you have eaten so many good things, a Zhu Guo will rob me, next time I will give you a handful of grass grass, I want you to not be able to speak for the rest of your life." After saying that, he turned around and walked out angrily.

Zhang Yuan was stunned, this person scolded a few words and left, this is a master?

The mink showed a contemptuous look, and disappeared in a flash, Zhang Yuan hurriedly used his divine sense to check, but he couldn't find it.

Zhang Yuan looked at Mu Lingzi, who had already walked away, showed a smile, hurriedly chased after him, patted him on the shoulder and said, "Mu Lingzi, you give me back a Zhu Guo." ”

Mu Lingzi didn't look at him, just buried his head and walked forward, saying as he walked: "It's because you don't have the ability to grab it, you can't blame me for this, you have the ability to kill that mink." ”

Zhang Yuan thought to himself that I was stupid, offending the eldest lady on other people's territory, but I just relied on him, and said: "If you didn't have to ask me to wait until I was ripe to pick it, how could there be anything about that mink, Zhu Guo would have already entered my belly." ”

The corners of Mu Lingzi's eyes twitched, and he didn't answer.

"Look, you ignore it, hurry up and return me a vermilion fruit. Seeing that he didn't speak, Zhang Yuan hurriedly said.

Mu Lingzi squinted at him and roared in a low voice: "You think it's Chinese cabbage, you can have it if you want it." ”

Zhang Yuan waited for him to say this: "Then you exchange other things, I see that you can even find such a secret place, don't tell me that there are no other treasures around this Qifeng Valley." ”

Mu Lingzi's face turned a little bluer, and after a while, he said, "Okay, there is actually a treasure." Mu Lingzi stopped and looked at Zhang Yuan, and said seriously: "Today, let this Dao Master calculate it for you, so as to avoid disasters in the future." After speaking, he went to grab Zhang Yuan's hand.

Where would Zhang Yuan grab his hand, dodge his hand, and said dissatisfiedly: "You Dao Chang is too good at fooling, what if you count it for me, I have already calculated it for you today, so you sent me twice." ”

Mu Lingzi showed an embarrassed look, pondered for a while, and said: "You are in a hurry to leave the city today, this accommodation and dinner have not yet been settled, so how about this wrapping up on me tonight, and I will compensate you Zhu Guo." ”

Zhang Yuan thought that he couldn't really beat him up for the sake of a Zhu Guo, so he nodded and agreed.

Mu Lingzi suddenly became happy, and said as he walked: "Let me tell you, the place where I took you today, the main family is very hospitable, and the craftsmanship is also first-class, especially the white rice is cooked well, and the fish..."

Zhang Yuan finally knew that the shopkeeper said that he was the first one who was not fooled by him, his mouth, from noon to afternoon, did not stop in the middle, and said without repetition, mountains and rivers, geography, customs, astrology, fortune telling, food and wine can be said anyway, what he said is reasonable, if it weren't for Zhang Yuan's suspicion of him from the beginning, it is estimated that he has been fooled by him now.

Zhang Yuan watched the sun gradually set in front of him, and asked again, "How far is the place you are talking about?"

Mu Lingzi looked around and said indifferently: "It's not far, it's coming soon." ”

"You're not far away, you'll be here soon, it's been a long time. Zhang Yuan glanced at him and said dejectedly.

Mu Lingzi didn't care about his complaint at all, and said: "We have been moving forward, the road is under our feet, as long as we are walking, the goal is naturally not far away, and the time is also very fast, Zhang Yuan, you are still too young, you have to calm down....."

Zhang Yuan lowered his head weakly and said secretly, preaching again.

Mu Lingzi said for a while, seeing that Zhang Yuan didn't speak, he turned his head to look at him and said, "Little Zhangzi, you have recently had a bloody disaster, don't listen to my old man, you have to prepare early." ”

Zhang Yuan didn't know what he thought at the time, he actually came with him, this was a kind of torture, I heard him also say that he had a blood light disaster, and said lightly: "Stinky Taoist, you first resolve your own blood light disaster." ”

This sentence was like a dumb point, stunned for a while and then finally stopped talking, Zhang Yuan let out a sigh, and the roots of his ears finally calmed down.

After nightfall, the two finally arrived at a small mountain village, where Mu Lingzi boasted that it was rare in the sky and on the earth, and the scenery was extremely beautiful, and the villagers were as enthusiastic as fire.

It was pitch black all around, Zhang Yuan couldn't tell whether the scenery was beautiful or not, but this enthusiasm was like fire, hehe, Mu Lingzi tidied up his clothes, and said in a soft voice as much as possible: "Poor Dao is passing by your land, and I hope to give you a bowl of rice." ”

There was no movement in the house for a long time, Mu Lingzi knocked on the door again and said again but there was no response, Mu Lingzi returned to Zhang Yuan embarrassedly, and whispered: "I haven't been here for a long time, I forgot that the family went last time." ”

Zhang Yuan looked at him with disdain, he couldn't see his face clearly when it was dark, this was already the door of the tenth villager he knocked on, and none of them responded, seeing that he was still here, he couldn't help but say: "This is what you spent half a day bringing me to eat." ”

"It's been too long, people are old, and they may have misremembered the road, haha, I'm really sorry. I'll try it again," Mu Lingzi said with a haha.

Zhang Yuan followed Mu Lingzi speechlessly and continued to walk forward, the same rhetoric, this time the wooden door actually squeaked open, hearing the sound of the door, Zhang Yuan, who was not hopeful, looked up in surprise, and found that it was an old man who opened the door, and asked Mu Lingzi to go in with him.

Mu Lingzi and Zhang Yuan entered the house and found that the room was very simple, and the tables and benches were covered with traces of repair, Zhang Yuan doubted whether the bench could still be sitting, but the house was quite clean.

The old man poured tea on the table, and when he saw that the two of them were still standing and looking at the house, he said embarrassedly: "The little old man's house is simple, so the Taoist chief smiled, please sit down and drink water." ”

Mu Lingzi saluted and said, "In order to ask the old man for his surname." ”

"I don't dare to say that the surname Gao is a big name, the little old man, the surname is Zhuang, the second in the ranking, and the village calls me the second Zhuang. ”

Zhang Yuan sat down cautiously, for fear that the stool would fall apart if he used too much, so he picked up the cup and took a sip of water.

Seeing the two of them sitting down, Zhuang Laohan hurriedly said, "Wait a minute, I'll go to the back and get some food for you." ”

Mu Lingzi hurriedly stood up and smiled: "I'm tired, just have white rice." ”

After a while, Zhuang Lao Han brought a large pot of yellowed rice up, and a plate of bacon, exuding bursts of fragrance, and he felt delicious when he smelled it.

The two of them were not polite, especially Mu Lingzi, as if he had never eaten it in his life, a large pot of rice and bacon was basically eaten by him, Zhang Yuan just tasted it slightly and stopped moving.

After Mu Lingzi finished eating, he patted his stomach and said proudly to Zhang Yuan: "How about this rice, it's good." Zhuang Lao, why is every house in your village closed? ”

"The Taoist chief didn't know, our village used to be closed at night, but last year there was a large group of wild birds in the mountains, and they came to the village to find food at night, and we originally wanted to gather everyone to kill this wild bird, but there was a very powerful one in it, the knife and axe could not be chopped, and the power was infinite, that time my son and wife died under the mouth of the wild boy. Speaking of the death of his son's wife, Zhuang Laohan suddenly cried on the table.

Zhang Yuan heard that it was Ye Yu who was harming again, and couldn't help but think of Bai Yun, if it wasn't for Bai Yun's pursuit at that time, he would not have been separated from Yan Qingyun, and in the end, Qingyun would not have died tragically. Thinking of this, Zhang Yuan's eyes couldn't help revealing a fierce light, and his hand shook the stick hard.

Mu Lingzi swept his eyes, and said to Zhuang Laohan with a smile: "The deceased has passed away, please mourn, didn't you go and invite the people of Qifeng Valley to eliminate the harm?"

Zhuang Laohan wiped his tears, shook his head and said: "Our village can take care of food and clothing in a good year on weekdays, and if there is no good thing, where can we invite someone to do harm." ”

Mu Lingzi suddenly turned his head to Zhang Yuan and said, "Zhang Yuan, you see that Elder Zhuang invited us to eat all his rations, did we take action to remove this harm for the villagers?"

Zhang Yuanxin said, this rice and this bacon are all eaten by you, but he still agrees with killing this head, but he is a little worried: "I just don't know what the strength of this head is like, if we are successful in cultivation, I am afraid that we will not be opponents." ”

Mu Lingzi smiled and said, "Didn't Old Man Zhuang just say, when he came to the village to look for food, he couldn't cut with a knife and axe, I think he just learned how to practice." ”

Suddenly, there was a sound of gongs outside, and then someone shouted in panic: "Ye Yu has entered the village." Immediately the sound of screaming and crying was heard.

Mu Lingzi was also stunned for a moment, and hurriedly asked, "Why did Ye Yu hurt people directly." ”

Zhuang Laohan put the table against the door, and said in a panic: "Maybe the crops in the field have been eaten, so let's go into the house to find food, oops, this group of wild people who kill a thousand knives." He cried again.

Mu Lingzi saw that Zhuang Laohan was struggling to drag the wooden bed over, and took out a sword from the banner and said to Zhang Yuan: "Zhang Yuan, hurry up and do it, otherwise the villagers will suffer." ”

Zhang Yuan also knew that the situation was urgent, nodded and said, "Okay, let's go together." ”

The two jumped out of the window, sprinting all the way in search of sounds, and when they came to the entrance of the village, they found that the houses of the villagers had been set on fire, and a large group of wild people were going in and out of the villagers' houses in the firelight.
