Chapter 230: Poke the skull
Five days later, Tian Feng rode a thin horse to the northwest border of Lu Chenguo, and finally found a smoky mountain stream. The horse had been exhausted by the journey, and the flesh was loose, and the eyes of the two horses were full of grief and exhaustion.
"It's finally here, and it's supposed to be here. Tian Feng dismounted, pulled the reins weakly, and saw a thorny red flower through the thatch.
"Ahh......hh
"Goo-Goo......
A flock of birds flew away from the flowers, and the horses neighed and frightened, kicked and jumped up and went wild, and turned and ran.
"Horse, my horse!" Tian Feng turned around and walked quickly to chase, and in the blink of an eye, the horse was gone, he stopped chasing and hung his head: "Let's go, let's go, I'm going to tire you to death along the way." ”
Tian Feng shook his head, feeling that he was not as happy as a horse, walked back, carefully passed through the thorny red flowers, came to a slightly open space, and walked more than ten zhang to the edge of the cliff.
He saw a thick bush of grass two feet away, as if it was covering a large stone, and when he approached it, he shivered. It turned out that there was a skull stuck in the crack of the big stone, and I couldn't help sweating on my back: "It should be used by Taohuawu to scare people and warn people who come here." ”
He had just stepped out and was about to cross the big rock, when an old voice sounded behind him:
"Afterlife, and slow!"
Tian Feng was startled, turned his head to look, and breathed a sigh of relief: "It turned out to be a god who knew the senior, and it scared me." ”
The god operator held the cloth of the unpredictable prophet, approached with a smile, and said slowly: "If I didn't scare you, Tian Shaoxia would have been pierced through the heart by a poisonous arrow, hehe." ”
"Huh?" Tian Feng's back was cold, and he hurriedly took two steps back, stroked his chest, and bowed with his fists: "Thank you seniors for saving your life!"
"I came here to visit my deceased and happened to meet you. The god operator looked at him clearly, frowning slightly: "Unexpectedly, you are still alive?"
"I, should I die?" Tian Feng's face stiffened, knowing the magic of the divine operator's divination, and sighed: "After many twists and turns, it is difficult to explain it, I have exhausted my mana, and I have returned to become an ordinary mortal." ”
"Since fate has made you a mortal again, why don't Tian Shaoxia spend the rest of his life restlessly?"
Tian Feng: "I know that my life is cheap, compared to those born nobles, but I am also a living person, with my own emotions, and I am a man of flesh and blood! I want to find my woman back, and say sorry to her, even if I am broken, at least I have fought and fought for my beloved, I have no regrets!"
"What a hot-blooded offspring! It's like me when I was younger, hehe. "God is appreciative of this.
Tian Feng: "The juniors want to ask the seniors, is this Taohuawu?"
"If it weren't for Taohuawu, you would be destined to regret your trip for life, Tian Shaoxia, you are now losing all your mana, how are you going to cross the miasma in front of you?"
"What, there is a ten-mile-wide miasma ahead?" Tian Feng couldn't believe his ears, thinking that he could borrow vine ropes or something, plus the legs and feet that he had exercised in the past, he might be able to jump over the mountain stream desperately, and when he heard the god operator say this, he was afraid that he had to look at the miasma in front of him and sigh.
The god operator smiled and nodded, and handed him the cloth of the unknown prophet: "The old man sees that you are sincere, so he will take you over the ten miles of poisonous miasma, and take this well, grab my arm and don't let go." ”
Tian Feng was overjoyed, and hurriedly took over the trick, grabbed the arm of the god operator with the other hand, and said in surprise: "Senior, do you know the immortal method?" In Tian Feng's concept, he thought that he was just an old man with a good fortune teller, and he didn't know the art of cultivating immortals at all, let alone that he could take him through the difficulties in front of him.
"Hold on, hold your breath, if the poisonous gas invades your body, the old decay will not be able to save you. The god operator advised.
This ten-mile poisonous miasma is not an ordinary obstacle, and it is difficult for ordinary cultivators to safely cross it, so Taohuawu has been able to escape from the world and preserve it for hundreds of years.
Half an hour later, the scorching sun was in the sky, and the air was already a little hot.
The big white dog dragged its big tail and stuck out its tongue and struggled forward, Qianqian kept wiping the sweat on her face: "What the hell is this place, there is not even a water source nearby, it's hot to death!"
The non-cultivator said weakly: "Come here, the big tree in front of you should be there." ”
Qianqian and the big white dog were shocked by their spirits, and ran quickly to the big canopy.
"Hey, don't be so fast, I heard that the Peach Blossom Dock is full of traps, so be careful. The uncultivator swayed and ran, but fortunately, the fortune teller in the White Crane Mansion gave him a wide old robe, so that he would not die of heat immediately.
Qianqian took off the cloth package on her back, which was the new clothes she went to the tailor shop to help Tian Feng get, and the big white dog lay on it with her head tilted.
"Hey, Xiaobao, you crushed your big brother's clothes, nasty ghost!"
Qianqian pushed Xiaobao away, and Xiaobao reluctantly climbed to the side and continued to stick out her tongue and gasp.
"Well, it's much cooler under this big tree. The monk stopped, sat down, and shook the dust to knock away a few mosquitoes.
"Uncle Xiu, don't take the wrong way, we'll be tired. Qianqian thumped her calves, looked behind her, and said strangely: "Why is it still foggy there? No, the sun is getting high, and the fog should disperse." ”
The non-cultivator gasped: "This is the ravine outside the Taohuawu, which is filled with poisonous gas, and the sunlight cannot be dispersed for a while, so the Taohuawu can always be independent of the world." ”
"Is there water in the ravine there?" asked Qianqian.
"The devil knows how deep the ravine is, I haven't heard of anyone going down, and besides, some poisonous insects fly out of it from time to time, so I have nothing to do with going down to that ravine. "If you don't cultivate people, you can beat your shoulders, not to mention chasing these two little things all the way, it's too lively.
"Then what should I do? I'm so hungry and thirsty, don't repair my father, think of a way, your daughter and dog will die of thirst and starvation." Qianqian's face was sad, I really regretted eating more in that town in the morning, hey, but it was in vain to think about it, just she and the big white dog kept eating meat along the way, and the money given by the owner of the White Crane Gate was almost gone.
The non-cultivator smiled, took off the wine gourd on his body, and handed it over: "Ah, if you want to eat and drink, call me Daddy, hehe." You little ghost, take a sip of rice wine to quench your hunger and thirst. ”
Qian Qian glanced at the non-cultivator, and said angrily: "Isn't it to blame the master of the White Crane Sect?" Hmph, the money is for you to keep, Xiaobao and I can't eat some good things, it's really hard to pick the door!"
"Can you blame me for this? You and that fat dog have eaten so much meat, I can't bear to drink some wine, hmph, there are only a few dozen coppers left now, if you can't go into Taohuawu for a wine banquet, you two little things will just wait to eat grass roots and bark." ”
"Wang, Wang!" Xiaobao got up and barked at the uncultivator, Qianqian poured some rice wine into her hand, and the big white dog stuck out her tongue and licked wildly.
"Look, even the dogs are scolding you for slamming the door, hehe. ”
"Hey, you two little things, eat my wine and scold me, don't you? Hey, don't drink all the wine, leave me some!"
"Give it, give it!" Qian Qian handed the wine gourd to the non-cultivator, and the big white dog wagged his tail and rubbed it.
"Xiaobao, you are really shameless, okay, okay, don't bare your teeth, I'll let you drink a little more. The non-cultivator was helpless, poured a large sip of wine into his mouth, and shook the wine gourd: "Hey, why is it gone?"
The big white dog bared his teeth again, as if he was blaming the uncultivator for drinking the last rice wine.
"Hey, there's something hidden in this big tree hole. Qianqian got up and found that there was a small dark recess on the side of the big tree trunk, and there was a white object stuck in it.
"Ahh......h
Qianqian pointed to the recess: "Why is there a skull here?"
The non-cultivator breathed a sigh of relief: "What a fuss, this is a sign of Taohuawu's shocking outsiders." ”
"Who, who made a fuss. Qianqian stomped her little feet, and the cat looked unconvinced.
"Don't you werewolves in Beacon Wolf City like to eat two-legged sheep?
"Hey, although I'm a little wolf girl, our family doesn't eat human flesh, Qianqian and Dad both believe in Buddhism with their mothers. Qianqian pinched the dog's ears, and Xiaobao shook the white hair all over her body.
The non-cultivator turned to look at the mist not far away, and shook his head: "I heard that the poisonous miasma in the Taohuawu mountain stream is less than ten miles, and more than ten miles, alas, how should the three of us get there?"
"What, what! You said that this ravine is not only very deep, but also more than ten miles wide?" Qianqian turned around, looked at the mist of the mountain stream, and said angrily: "If you don't cultivate the old way, then you were still a ravine just now, you ...... Have you ever seen a gas ditch so wide?"
"Look, I've eaten and drunk enough and made the same old mistake again, and now I'm called the old way, hum. ”
"Didn't you say that Qianqian is a little wolf demon? If you let the world know that you are such an old cultivator and accepted the little wolf demon as your daughter, wouldn't it be a shame to kill your old face?"
"Did I say this, this, this?"
"Old fool, I don't play with you anymore, I'll be confused after drinking!"
"Okay, I'm not a cultivator, I don't have to deal with you little girl and a dog, it's a loss of my identity!" The non-cultivator tidied up his clothes and circled around the trunk of the big tree.
Qianqian watched him stare at the trunk of the tree, and shouted, "Hey, think of a way to get over?
"No, I'll see if there are any hidden passages here, I heard that there are dense mechanisms next to the Taohuawu cliff, and we can't go forward anymore, and we'll all die here if we don't make trouble." ”
When Qianqian heard this, she panicked, and pulled the dog's ears close to the tree trunk: "Then you said that Taohuawu invited the major immortal gates to the banquet this time, and someone should come to greet them, right?"
The non-cultivator shook off the dust and looked up at the big canopy above his head: "The problem is that you have to have an invitation, and the female disciple of her Taohuawu will not bring irrelevant people to wait in." ”
"That's right, if we knew this, we should have snatched the invitation card from the hand of the person who ate in the restaurant. Qianqian nodded.
"Hey, didn't your father teach you how to be a man? How can the little girl's family snatch other people's things indiscriminately? This is immoral. ”
"Go, aren't you still staring at the big brother's Tianhu artifact? Oh, I'm not ashamed to rely on the old man to teach my sister-in-law a lesson!
Xiao Bao shouted in harmony, and seemed to agree with Qianqian's defense.
"Well, you little girl, you are sharp-toothed, even if I don't serve you as a cultivator, I won't lose money by accepting you as a girl, it's just a loss of face. The monk shook his head and approached the hollow in the tree.
"Go, go, who wants to be your daughter, don't be ashamed!"
"Hmm...... You little doll, forget it, I don't care about you. The non-cultivator frowned, and in turn took the whisk.
Qianqian: "Don't repair your father...... Ahem, Uncle Buxiu, aren't you boasting all the way that your magic power is boundless? ”
The non-cultivator looked down at the big white dog, sighed, shook his head, and said, "My immortal method is profound, but I don't have a powerful magic weapon to take you." Especially this big white dog, it's too fat, and it has four legs, even Su Xiyun didn't want it that day, not to mention that I can't compare to Su Xiyun's cultivation......"
When the uncultivator found out that he had told the truth, he quickly closed his mouth and waved the dust to drive away the grinning white dog.
Qianqian giggled, holding her little belly: "I knew you couldn't do it, and what else did you say, I think you are a veteran of the rivers and lakes, cheating on eating and drinking, hehe." My Qianqian is also a little wolf girl, and I feel wronged by being your daughter. ”
A non-cultivator blows his beard, obviously holding his breath back, as an old-timer who has practiced for 300 years, he can't be angry with a little girl.
The non-cultivator poked the skull with the dust, looked around and didn't react, frowned and shook his head: "It seems that the mechanism is not here, maybe someone has already come to break the mechanism, it should be safe." ”
The big white dog's ears moved and barked.
Qianqian frowned: "Oh, you might as well bring us in twice, so you don't have to waste time here." ”
"Twice?"
"Yes, isn't it okay to carry one of us at a time, and go back and forth twice?"
"No, no, no, I'm not a cultivator, if I bump into an acquaintance on the way carrying a big white dog, won't they laugh at me to death?"
"Hey, hey, it's just you, hmph, we've never heard of the name of a non-cultivator, as if who knows you!"
"I'm me, I'm used to being incognito, and it's not strange that those juniors don't know, hmph, this is called a big hermit, understand?"
"Oh, I heard what Senior Brother Gongsun said, what is hidden in the wilderness, hidden in the city, and hidden in the court, hehe. As for you, I think at best, even an old man who is hidden in the countryside is embarrassed to brag about a big hermit!"
"Not like you two wolfdogs!" the cultivator poked the skull hard, flicked the dust, and walked out of the large canopy.
"It smells so good!" Qianqian twitched her nose as she felt the strange aroma emanating from the skull.
There was a buzzing sound, and the big white dog barked wildly, biting Qianqian's trouser leg. Qianqian looked up and saw a black poisonous bee flying not far away: "Daddy, run wow, there are so many poisonous insects!"
The two of them and a dog fled in a hurry, and after a while they were so tired that they gasped loudly.
"What the hell are you doing, it's okay to poke that skull for what!
"I, I don't know, the ghost knows that those women in Peach Blossom Dock are so good at playing, and they actually hid the incense in the skull in the big tree hole, mischief, it must be a prank done by those female dolls!"
"Ah, Xiaobao, you wait for me!" Qianqian turned her head to look at the non-cultivator shaking the dust to fight poisonous bees, and screamed when she was stung, and her heart was numb: "By the way, if you become a wolf, there will be hair on your body!"
The non-cultivator watched Qianqian turn into a little wolf cub, stepped on it, and jumped away: "You two are too unrighteous, I am blocking poisonous insects in the back, you ...... You're going to run first!" Hearing the terrifying humming sound approaching, the non-cultivator pinched the immortal method and fled as quickly as possible.
