Chapter 146: Little Mountain
There was a false alarm, not a monk, but a rabbit that was chased by a fox and scurried, kicked up a few small rocks and hit the boulder blocking the passage.
Rabbits and foxes are just a little agile breath, just a kind of monsters, now Qin Que has no heart to hunt them, waiting for the two demon beasts to run away, Qin Que released his divine sense and swept for a long time, after confirming that there was no abnormal movement, he carefully pushed the boulder open a gap and drilled out.
After pushing the boulder back to block the entrance of the passage, Qin Que waved his hand to urge two spring breeze and rain techniques, and a little spiritual rain fell onto a bush at the entrance of the passage, and the branches bathed in it shook happily, and the speed was visible to the naked eye to elongate by a few inches.
After a few times, the spiritual rain fell again, and the shrubs no longer grew in strips, and Qin Que, who shook his head, couldn't help but think of the little guy's dying, if he was dying, he could completely cover the entrance of the entire passage with branches and leaves and rattans.
Look at the gap behind the bushes, although it is not conspicuous, if you have the heart to probe, you can still see new marks, but this can only be done, better than nothing.
Looking around, I saw that there was a cave on the cliff opposite the mountain stream, and the location was just right, and the Qin Que Festival took off the sword and flew straight over.
Standing in the cave and looking back, the boulder hidden behind the bushes was surrounded by more than ten zhang in full view, and the vision was not good at night, and his divine sense was enough to cover the past, so Qin Que sat down again.
This arrangement is not very proper, and it is even more difficult to say how useful it is to face the monks of the Sea Reclamation Realm, but Qin Que feels that it is better than staying by the side of the two elders himself, at least he can find out in advance, and the warning can also make the two seniors more prepared.
As for what kind of arrangement is being made at the entrance of this cave, it is necessary to arrange a formation, in the eyes of the monks who occasionally fly by in this barren mountain and remote range, it is no different from a guiding light, but it will cause unnecessary trouble. Not only did he not arrange any defenses, but Qin Que even put his Qingwu Flying Sword and a few magic weapons with spiritual yuan fluctuations into the storage bag, and after being alone, he paid attention to the opposite side, and then slowly urged his mind to move.
A few days passed, and the two elders still didn't make any movement, and they didn't even reply to the summons, what made Qin Que even more uneasy was that just a moment ago, he flew to the opposite bush without worry, and his divine sense penetrated into the belly of the mountain deep in the passage, and there was actually no breath of the two elders.
The frightened Qin Que hurriedly pushed away the boulder again, returned to the depths of the mountain, and waited until he saw that the two elders were still sitting cross-legged in place, without even moving their figures, they could be considered at ease, and at the same time they had a little more admiration for the strength of the two elders.
The relieved Qin Que left the depths of the mountain again, and returned to the cliff cave where he had been staying for a few days, his expression was a little more solemn, the injuries of the two elders seemed to be more serious than expected, if it weren't for Elder Li Hai's special order when he just fell that day, Qin Que would have already urged the transmission sword order to send the message back to the sect.
I don't know what Elder Li Hai is afraid of, Qin Que can only continue to stay here to protect the Dharma for the two elders.
Just as he was thinking about it, suddenly there was a sound of rustling, Qin Que leaned out of his sense, and found a long snake winding up along the cliff, the target was the cave where he was, this is not a long snake's lair, then there is only one explanation.
Finding that this long snake was actually coming at him, Qin Que, who was in a solemn mood, couldn't help laughing: "I was thinking of going out to find something to eat, but since you sent it to the door, don't blame me." ”
The cultivation of the Tongqi Realm is not enough to eat and drink, and if you don't eat, you still have to eat one meal in ten days and half a month, not to mention, you have not been in the cultivation world for a few years, and if you haven't eaten for a while, Qin Que will still be greedy.
As he spoke, the long snake had already revealed its head, and the scarlet letter swallowed and leaned towards Qin Que.
However, the first-grade demon beast, Qin Que didn't have to get up, he flicked his fingers at a True Yuan arrow that was seven inches in the middle, and he lost his breath after two strokes.
Stretched out his hand and pulled the long snake over, and the true yuan between his fingers moved slightly from his tongue all the way down, but in a few breaths, the snake's skin had been peeled off.
Just with a slight movement of his mind, Qin Que's fingertips True Yuan turned into a small firelight, wrapping the fresh snake meat in it, the monk does have the means compared to ordinary people, he doesn't need to set up firewood to burn the fire, and he doesn't even have to worry about the meat being roasted.
After a short time, a burst of barbecue aroma began to diffuse, Qin Que took a sip of it, then reached into the storage bag and took out a blanket full of cloth bags, took out cumin, chili noodles, and salt from each cloth bag, and began to smear it on the slightly discolored snake meat. Originally, when he went hunting in the mountains, he would only carry salt with him, but with a storage bag, he could naturally carry more and more abundant things.
The aroma grows stronger, the color of the snake meat becomes more golden, and the meal is complete.
Waving his hand to put the sundries back, Qin Que was about to enjoy his feast, when his expression suddenly changed greatly, the true yuan surged, and the thistle terrestris armor instantly appeared at will, and at the same time took two steps back, and his palm had already probed into the storage bag.
It was impossible for Qin Que not to react like this, just a flower in front of him, there was one more person in the cave, that is, when it was time for barbecue, Qin Que did not relax his monitoring of the surrounding situation. Qin Que can be sure that just now, there is absolutely no half figure in the place where his divine sense can reach near the cave, and now Qin Que's divine sense is enough to cover the surrounding area of dozens of zhang, such a distance, even the Li Haidao people in the sea realm cannot suddenly appear in front of Qin Que without Qin Que noticing.
Stronger than the two elders?, an incredulous thought flashed through him.
Just as Qin Que was thinking about whether to draw out the Qingwu Flying Sword, the person suddenly spoke: "Are you a bad person?"
"Huh?" Qin Que, who heard this, couldn't help but pause slightly, this was not like the words of a master above the sea, but like the reaction of a three- or four-year-old doll when it met a stranger.
Puzzled, Qin Que raised his eyes to take a closer look at the sudden intruder, his stature was not tall, a few points lower than himself, but he was very strong, a half of the robe made of the skin of a leopard or a cheetah was placed diagonally, revealing half of his dark arms and tendons as if they were carved, even the neck and face.
It's not like a monk, the monk didn't say that his body is powerful like this, this black man who can't see his age doesn't know why he cultivates like this, could it be because he has cultivated special exercises?
The person who came didn't make a move immediately, and Qin Que, who was protecting himself with the Tribulus Terrestris Armor, didn't pull out the Qingwu Flying Sword immediately, but he hesitated for a while and didn't speak, but the black man who came misunderstood, and said to himself: "It's not a bad person, that's a good person." That's good. ”
Immediately, the black man raised his finger and pointed at the roasted snake meat that Qin Que threw on the ground: "I have money, can I buy your roast?" As he spoke, he reached out and took out a golden and brilliant thing from the animal skin robe.
Listening to the words of the Great Han and looking at the things in his hands, Qin Que felt a strange feeling in his heart, could it be a master who has cultivated to a high level but has a bad brain? Otherwise, how could he have such childish words and use gold to trade with himself.
No matter what, as long as it's not to trouble yourself, it's not to trouble the two elders, what is a mere roast snake, Qin Que shook his head and said, "You don't need to buy it, just eat it yourself if you want to." ”
Qin Que was generous, but the black man was not happy, shook his head and said: "Dashan said, those who give things for nothing are not good people, you are not good people?"
I don't know what kind of character this mountain is, he actually taught the black man in front of him to look like this, Qin Que was speechless for a while, and when he saw the suspicious look in the black man's eyes, he hurriedly waved his hand and said: "Since you want to buy it, I will sell it to you, pay the money with one hand, and deliver it with the other?"
"Hehe, okay. The black man laughed, raised his hand and threw the gold in his hand towards Qin Que, and without waiting for Qin Que to say anything, he had already reached out and held the roast snake on the ground in his hand and feasted on it, chewing while muttering: "It's delicious, it's better than the one brought back by the mountain." ”
A long snake entered the black man's belly in a moment, obviously, he was still unsatisfied, after licking the corners of his mouth, he raised his head and asked Qin Que: "I still have money, can you sell me another one." ”
This is not easy to agree, originally Qin Que didn't have anything to worry about the two elders healing in the belly of the mountain, but after seeing the black man in front of him, Qin Que was not so relieved, but such a person, unpredictable in nature, it is difficult to say what the reaction will be if he refuses directly, Qin Que can only deal with it: "The long snake just now climbed up by itself, I can't find it when I go out by myself, or I will notify you next time I have time?"
"Don't bother, I'll just catch it. The black man waved his hand, and without waiting for Qin Que to agree, he disappeared in a flash.
The black man disappeared, but Qin Que opened his mouth wide and froze in place, if it was possible to be careless when he came, he didn't blink his eyes just now, and his divine sense had also been around without a little relaxation, but the black man seemed to have disappeared out of thin air and left, without the slightest fluctuation of the true element, let alone the light of flight. It is more unpredictable than the two long-aged breaths of spring water, which seems to be impossible for the masters of the sea realm, right?
After half a sound, Qin Que finally came to his senses, his expression became a little more solemn, and suddenly such a person appeared, I don't know if it was good or bad.
In the face of such a person, it is useless to think too much, and after thinking about it for a while, Qin Que simply stopped caring about it, and sat down again and urged the true yuan of the heart method.
Before the end of the week, the black man's voice sounded again: "Okay, let's roast." ”
Still didn't notice it at all, when he opened his eyes, the black man was already standing in the cave, this time Qin Que was not surprised that he was elusive, and as for the black man casually throwing down a bundle of long snakes with dozens of them, he was not even surprised.
The black man threw down the snake and didn't care, staring at Qin Que waiting beside him in a daze.
Qin Que could only hold the exercises, and once again urged Zhenyuan to start picking up, and without much effort, he peeled off three of them, and made a fire between his fingers and roasted them.
When controlling the flame barbecue, Qin Que tried to ask: "I don't know what to call a friend?"
"What is a salutation?" The black man's eyes had never left the few snakes in Qin Que's hand since the beginning, and when he heard Qin Que's words, he just asked back in confusion.
Qin Que became more and more sure that this head was a little insufficient: "Salutation, that is, to ask what your name is." ”
"Name, my name is Xiaoshan, it's okay if you call me Xiaoshan, okay?" The last sentence was asked when he saw Qin Que flipping the snake meat.
Qin Que smiled and shook his head: "It's still a little close, the seasoning hasn't been put in yet." Listening to the words just now, it seems that the mountain is a person who understands things, but he doesn't know what the origin of these two mountains is.
"Oh. My name is Xiaoshan, what do you call it?"
"My name is Finch. While sprinkling cumin peppers, he responded.
"Oh. The black man Xiaoshan obviously didn't have anything to talk about, staring at the snake meat that had begun to have a strong fragrance, and his eyes were shining, and he almost didn't fall off.
Finally, I heard Qin Que say, "Okay." The black man stretched out his hand and took the three snakes into his hand, and was about to send them to his mouth, when he suddenly thought of one thing that was missing, holding the snake meat in one hand, and reaching into the robe with the other hand, he took out another ingot of gold and handed it to Qin Que: "Here you go." ”
"Not this time, you caught this snake in the first place. ”
"Uh-huh, really? But you put something away. ”
"Hehe, the first time we didn't know each other, the second time we were already friends, and friends should help each other. ”
"We're friends?"
"You catch the snake, I'll roast it for you, this is a friend. ”
"Hehe, okay. I also have a friend, go back and tell Dashan, scare him, give, finch baby, you can eat one too. ”
Although there are some coaxing elements in it, Qin Que doesn't have bad intentions, he just wants to have a good relationship with such an unpredictable guy, and when he saw the black man Xiaoshan handing over a roasted snake, he was not polite, and immediately took it.
"Xiaoshan, where did you catch so many snakes just now?" Qin Que asked again as he enjoyed his meal.
"It's over there, there have been a lot of demon beasts recently, and you can catch them casually. Xiaoshan casually pointed to the outside of the cave, and he didn't know where he was pointing, but as he spoke, he suddenly thought of something: "By the way, there are many people flying around." ”
Qin Que's expression changed, what else could the people flying around have besides the monks, the surrounding area here is deserted, what are so many monks doing here?" "Hmm, Xiaoshan, where do you see those people, and how far away are they from here." ”
"It's not far away, and you can see it from dozens of hills in the past. Bird, I'm done eating, this time bake a few more. The black man didn't care much, he cared more about the bundle of long snakes on the ground that hadn't been roasted.
Dozens of mountains? Shocked by the strength of the small mountains, Qin Que also breathed a sigh of relief, no matter which direction he headed, dozens of mountains were at least thousands of miles or even thousands of miles away, and they should have nothing to do with him. Shaking his head, he picked up a few more dead snakes.
There were dozens of snakes behind, Qin Que only ate two, and the rest all went into the belly of the mountain, the mountain seemed to be reincarnated as a starving ghost, and he didn't eat enough, and in the end he was still a little unsatisfied, but after thinking about it, he still didn't catch the snake again, and waved his hand at Qin Que and said: "Bird baby, the mountain is still sleeping, I have to go back first, and I will come to you to play with you in a few days." ”
After finishing speaking, he came and went as before, and disappeared in a flash.
Qin Que shook his head and continued to urge the exercises, while monitoring the exit of the passage on the opposite side.
In the blink of an eye, a few days passed, and the two elders were still unmoved, and the unfathomable hill did not appear again, but Qin Que felt a little strange again. It seems that since the day Xiaoshan came, in the next few days, the mountains on both sides, the mountain streams below, and the demon beasts have obviously increased, although most of them are first-grade, at most second-grade grades, together, they are not Qin Que opponents, but there is something wrong with this situation, this place is deserted, there is a lack of aura, demon beasts and monks are the same, unless there is some reason, they will not want to run to this kind of place, is there something going on nearby?
If there is no matter of the two elders, it is what happens, Qin Que will not care, maybe he will go to find out, but now, Qin Que does not have this mind, for fear that something will attract the attention of the monks, the two elders hide well enough, and they can't stand the flow of people, who knows which guy will suddenly be interested in going into the passage to see?
Qin Que was not unreasonable to worry, and after a day, a sword light flashed in the sky above the mountain stream, and a monk appeared. In two days, Qin Que could already be sure that something was happening nearby, and one or two monks might have passed by by accident, but in just half a day, Qin Que had already seen four sword lights passing by, or four different monks, there was no coincidence, this was not near the sect. Just looking at the speed of the flying sword, the fastest of all people was not much faster than Qin Que himself, but he didn't know what a group of Tongqi Realm cultivators had come all the way to this remote place to do.
When Qin Que was frowning, his expression suddenly moved slightly, and with a stroke of his hand, a sword light broke through the air and fell, it was not someone who attacked Qin Que, but a summoning sword order.
The divine sense swept over the sword order, and Qin Que's expression paused slightly: "Huh?"
I thought that it was an elder in Heshan who was worried about the two elders of Gong Chi and Li Hai, and they couldn't send a message and wanted to inquire about the news from themselves, but they didn't want things to be like this at all, it was not sent by the elders of Heshan, nor did they ask the two elders about the news, but Fang De sent the message to Qin Que himself.
It has been several months since he had been separated from Fang De, if he hadn't taken the initiative to send a message, Qin Que would have forgotten him a little, as for the words of his heart, from the beginning, Qin Que didn't pay too much attention to it, he was not really a master and young master, but he didn't use the habit of a servant, looking at a white-bearded old man who was the same as his own old patriarch respectfully in front of him, it didn't feel very good.
It's just that no matter whether Qin Que cares about it or not, the original oath and the covenant of the slave owner are irrevocable, for example, now, Fang De has passed a sword message with this oath.
Seeing the content of the signal, Qin Que was stunned again: "Hunting birds?"
