Wind and rain in Sioux City Chapter 3: The withered pine breeds the wind vine, and the purple pupils are beginning to show the fairy fairy
Lin Man'er and the three of them traveled all the way to Meishan, because the cliff road in the back mountain was dangerous, and it was not suitable for carriage travel. Lin Man'er wanted the fish baby to guard it, and he and Huzi went to pick the evil wind vine.
Yu Wazi objected: "This car is worth a few dollars, as long as we pick the evil wind vine, we can change as many cars as we want." ”
Lin Man'er thought about it, tied the horse, and discussed the route of travel.
There are two ways to go to the cliff, one is to go up to Meishan and reach the top of the cliff; The second is to go around the foot of the mountain to the bottom of the cliff.
The fish baby felt that the bottom of the cliff was too dangerous, and it was very likely that she would encounter wild beasts, so she chose the first path.
The three of them took the rope and began to climb Mt. Mei.
Meishan belongs to the Meiling Mountains, because of its many plum trees, and every March, plum blossoms are all over the mountain, so it is named Meishan.
The mountain road of Meishan is only built to the mountainside part, and further up, the trees are luxuriant, overgrown with weeds, and there are vines and thorns intertwined, and the journey is difficult. However, Lin Man'er was already in the first stage of Lingchu, and he was full of physical strength, even if there was no road, it would not affect his speed.
Huzi is born with divine strength, and his endurance is also notoriously tenacious. However, the fish baby is a real mortal, and he is still an emaciated mortal. The successive and rapid mountaineering made his face extremely ugly, but in order not to affect everyone, he insisted on not making a sound.
However, there is always a limit to what the human body can endure, and although it can temporarily break through this limit by will, it is only temporary.
When the three of them walked to a wild meadow on the mountainside, the fish baby finally couldn't hold on and vomited.
Lin Man'er hurriedly helped him up and asked about the situation. The fish baby kept vomiting, and even vomited bitter bile. It was only then that Lin Man'er noticed that the fish baby was just a mortal!
The three of them stopped to rest, and Huzi handed over the food, but Yuwazi didn't have any desire to eat. After about half a pillar of incense, Yu Wazi's face improved slightly, and Lin Man'er decided to carry him up the mountain.
Yu Wazi refused: "No, Brother Man, you still have to go down the cliff, you can't waste your physical strength, let the tiger carry it!" ”
The three of them continued to move forward, but the way the tiger carried the person was a little special, or it could not be called a back, but a carry.
Yu Wazi said helplessly: "I know that's the case." ”
After more than an hour, the three of them finally reached the cliff of the back mountain. Lin Man'er looked under the cliff and suddenly felt half cold. I wanted to ask Yu Wazi a few words, but found that he had fainted.
Huzi put down the fish baby, patted him on the cheek, and then heard a wail. The fish baby woke up, tore off her clothes and saw that the skin on her stomach was gone. looked at Huzi and said helplessly: "I'm called a fish baby, but it's not a real fish baby." ”
Huzi scratched his head, not quite understanding what he meant. Lin Man'er patted Huzi on the shoulder and said, "Next time you carry someone, don't carry it like a sack." ”
Huzi nodded as if he didn't understand.
Lin Man'er decided to go down the cliff, first connected a few sections of rope, and then tied one end to a tree and the other to his waist. For the sake of safety, Huzi pulled the rope and let him go down little by little.
The Evil Wind Vine may not be commonly used in the secular world, but it is a very common medicinal herb in the spiritual world. In addition to the medicinal bath of the Spirit Primal Realm, it is also an important alchemy material.
The main reason why the Evil Wind Vine has this name is because of the evil way it grows. The general rattan will grow around the big tree, so there is a saying: there is only a vine wrapped around the tree in the mountain, and the tree in the world is wrapped around the vine.
However, the Evil Wind Vine is the opposite, it will pass through the trunk of the tree and wrap itself upward. From a distance, it looks like a tree wrapped around a vine.
Lin Man'er had already descended for more than fifty zhang, and the humidity between the cliffs was too heavy, and his clothes were already wet and clinging to his back. After about ten zhang of landfall, the mountain wind suddenly rose, and because of the terrain, it was like a ghost crying.
Lin Man'er calmed down and comforted herself: "I am a cultivator, how can I be frightened by the mountain wind." ”
After a few more strokes, he finally found it. However, the next scene made him shudder, and he saw a thigh-thick pine tree growing across the cliff, which had been pierced in several places by the evil wind vine like an embroidery needle, and had dried up.
There were several white bones hanging from the dead pines, as well as a corpse that had just died. The corpse wasn't decomposed, but his blood seemed to be drained.
Lin Man'er wants to say that he is not afraid is false, but he can't retreat, he must get the Evil Wind Vine before he can further cultivate. Grasp the rope in your hand, get closer and closer, thinking that if you only take one section, there should be no problem.
Interestingly, those who died, thought the same way.
Lin Man'er stopped a foot away from the Evil Wind Vine, and wanted to tear off a section with his hand. However, the tenacity of the Evil Wind Vine was far beyond his imagination, and several tosses and turns turned out to be endless.
At that moment, the corpse seemed to move, or rather his eyelids moved. Lin Man'er was startled, his feet slipped, and he almost fell. Fortunately, there was a rope to hang, and nothing major happened.
After observing for a while, he found that the corpse was not moving, and he mustered up the courage to climb up again. I thought to myself, I must have been too nervous and read the wrong thing. At that moment, he continued to pull the evil wind vine, but the corpse's eyelids moved again.
Lin Man'er was also aroused, and he didn't care about anything, grabbed a piece of evil wind vine and pumped it out. The withered pine was already dry, and the evil wind vine was stunned by him to pull out a section. Lin Man'er was overjoyed and wanted to continue to exert force, but found that the corpse's mouth slowly opened.
This frightened him, thinking that the dead had risen, and his body unconsciously retreated. It didn't take long for a white worm to crawl out of the mouth of the dead corpse, and because of the blood sucking, the original white body turned red.
The white worm looked at Lin Man'er, and Lin Man'er looked at it as well. Suddenly, the white worm bowed and jumped towards Lin Man'er's eyes. Lin Man'er didn't close her eyes for some reason, but opened them wider.
At the moment when the white worm was about to jump into his eyes, the pupils of his eyes turned purple, and the white worm seemed to be shocked and landed on his nose.
At the same time, Huai Dongwang, who was meditating in the Plum Appreciation Pavilion, suddenly woke up, looked in the direction of the back mountain, and said to himself: "Who is such a strong soul fluctuation?" ”
Huai Yonghe somehow asked, "Dong'er, what's wrong with you?" ”
Huai Dongwang shook his head slightly, and said with a puzzled expression: "I have been practicing for one hundred and twenty-seven years, and my cultivation has reached the Spirit Immortal Realm, although it is not a soul cultivation, but the strength of the Yuan Shen is not bad." But for some reason, my primordial spirit was shocked, as if it was about to leave my body. ”
After hearing this, Huai Yonghe guessed: "Could it be that we have a powerful soul cultivator in Meishan?" ”
"It shouldn't be! I have the soul weapon left by my father, and I protect my body with the water holding technique, how can I be broken through two layers of defense? ”
"Could it be that they are going and coming back? I rushed to Sioux City before, and after seeing them fight with the three Wu brothers, I left. Huai Yonghe guessed.
"Probably not! There are no powerful demon kings near Meishan, and with their cultivation, there is no need to use such a powerful soul thought. ”
Huai Yonghe smiled, glad that Dong'er was not affected. Pointing in the direction of the back mountain, he said, "I'll go down and have a look!" ”
Huai Dongwang stopped: "No, since the other party intends to surprise me, it is not good for you to go." ”
"What's so bad, anyway, it's an old bone, what's the difference between living a few more years and a few years less?"
"How can Uncle Huai be like this? There is a little nephew here, I see who dares to hurt you! ”
"Nonsense! Practitioners must not be emotional. You have excellent talent, he will ascend to the immortal realm one day, and he will become the star king, how can he be brave for a while? ”
Huai Yonghe looked at his nephew in front of him, and his heart was full of envy and expectation. He has average talent, only a secondary spiritual root. After cultivating to the realm of Taoism, he relied on his brother to help him guide the Tao to the Tao, and he barely entered the realm of human immortals. For the road behind, he couldn't afford to go any further, just thinking that his nephew could shine on the lintel.
Now, Meishan has a powerful soul cultivator, and without knowing the other party's intentions, he is naturally the guiding stone. If the other party is not hostile, invite to the plum pavilion, taste plum blossom wine, and make a good fate; If there is hostility, you can drag it out and let your nephew escape.
It's a pity that Huai Dongwang is really not the kind of character who hides behind his relatives. At that moment, he used the Pingshui technique to trap Huai Yonghe, and he went to the back mountain to investigate.

Speaking of which, at the cliff, the white worm landed on Lin Man'er's nose, and for some reason, he didn't move. Lin Man'er was frightened, and her purple pupils gradually dissipated. After returning to normal, he focused his gaze on the white worm and did not dare to move. In this way, the two sides were at a stalemate.
However, after a long time, Lin Man'er couldn't hold it anymore. Grasping the rope with his right hand, he quietly raised his left hand to knock the white worm away. Seeing this, the white worm let out a faint cry. Lin Man'er seemed to understand what it was saying, and asked, "You don't want to hurt me, right?" ”
The white worm screamed again, which was considered an affirmation.
Lin Man'er pointed to the evil wind vine and said, "I'll only take a small section, and I won't take more." ”
The white worm bowed up, Lin Man'er thought that it was going to attack again, so he directly raised his left hand and hit. However, instead of being defeated, the white worm entered his arm.
When he was panicking, Lin Man'er seemed to have a very faint voice in his mind. "Hurry up and leave after you take it, there is a multicolored water chestnut snake here."
After Lin Man'er heard this, he grabbed the evil wind vine and jerked it, and due to the excessive force, the dry pine was torn off. However, as soon as the withered pine broke and the white bones were scattered, he felt the weight of the Evil Wind Vine suddenly increase. On closer inspection, it turned out to be the evil wind vine that had hooked the dead body.
Just when Lin Man'er didn't know what to do, the white worm urged him again. Lin Man'er glanced at the corpse, noted his appearance, and then apologized: "Big brother, you are dead anyway, it's better to return to your roots as soon as possible!" After saying that, he kicked decisively.
The corpse fell, but it was hooked by the evil wind vine in a cloth bag. I saw that the word Donghao was embroidered on the cloth bag, and there was a plum blossom embroidered in the lower left corner.
Lin Man'er didn't care about it, and pulled out the entire vine and wrapped it around his body. I was just about to climb up, but I realized that it was too late.
