Chapter 24: The Journey to the West
The weak morning light shone on the handsome face, a young man lay on the ground, rubbed his eyes with his hands, frowned, looked at the sky, and shouted excitedly: "We came out, Xiao Jiujiu!" He slowly got up, as if he was very tired, looked around, not far away there were two people lying on their stomachs not moving, he walked over, patted the two of them lightly on the mouth, the two of them were startled, they also woke up, slowly straightened up, looked around, an open place, only some extremely low ruins and broken stumps from the roots. Look into the distance, the smoke is curling, steaming, and a few small boats are rowing over the river from time to time. The early risers in the market had already set up their stalls, but they couldn't hear what they were shouting.
"Aren't we in Nanyaozhuang?
"This is Nanyaozhuang, probably swept away by the rapids trapped in the immortal mound!" replied, the white-clothed young man replied, looked around again, turned his brows tightly, and sighed in a low voice: "I only care about escaping by myself, but I forget the power of the water, I don't know how many people in the village have washed away?"
"How can the people of Tianshui City be afraid of water? You don't know, the people here are okay with water. If we die, we will blame the old man, who told him to lie to us, and we will be very happy. It's just a pity, such a good manor is gone before we have seen enough, and there must be a lot of treasures that have also been rushed! Let's go eat something! Starve me to death!" said the blue-haired boy.
The young man in white looked around again, sighed in his heart, and thought a lot.
How did he know that last night's fire had burned the Zhuangzi to ashes, otherwise how could this huge Zhuangzi be washed so clean, no matter how strong the water was.
Shi Cai Miao said that he was hungry, and the three of them walked in the direction of the market, and the blue-haired boy quickly found a small boat when he entered the water and carried the two to the shore. The blue-haired boy could only watch the two of them in the river. Because the market is full of familiar people!
These three teenagers are Eleven, Jin Jiu and Miao.
Yesterday, he was trapped in the immortal mound, and no matter how much strength Jin Jiu exerted to slam the stone wall, the stone wall seemed to be a thousand times harder than steel, and it was still intact and not damaged at all. Seeing this, Eleven and Miao asked Jin Jiu to stop, and the three of them sat on the magnet in the trapped immortal mound, in a daze. After a long time, Miao felt bored, and she couldn't sleep with worries in her heart. Jin Jiu was tired, and he sat there and slept soundly. Eleven didn't blink with his eyes open, not knowing what he was thinking. The bored Miao chatted with Eleven. Miao was not interested in Eleven's identity, but was full of energy when talking about the ethereal shirt on his body. Then we talked about a few treasures given by the master. As he spoke, he mentioned the "living spring", three drops can become a river, and Eleven seemed to understand something, and suddenly stood up. Thinking of it, the space of this trapped immortal mound is narrow, but the living spring can be three drops into a river. The water of the river poured into such a space, what a great force.
Thinking of this, the two discussed, Miao looked like she knew everything on the surface, but she didn't have any way in her heart, so she had to listen to Eleven's reasoning, sometimes nodding, sometimes pinching her chin. So three drops of the living spring were dropped, only to see three drops into one drop, one drop into two drops, two drops into four drops, so soon the water of the living spring filled the entire trapped immortal mound, and the three of them only felt that the power of the water pressure became bigger and bigger! Miao has the technique of escaping water, but the water pressure is so big that it is not very comfortable, and there is an ethereal line in the eleventh, so he controls it to resist the water pressure, but he is not skilled enough, and he can only concentrate on driving. The most uncomfortable thing is probably Jin Jiu, although there are steel and iron bones, but the water pressure is getting bigger and bigger, but the tibia of the whole body is almost deformed, and it is hard to hold on.
Although the water pressure is so huge, but this trapped immortal mound, there is still no sign of cracking, Eleven is frightened in his heart, if there is no crack, the three of them will die here! Just when the water pressure is unbearable, a sudden huge earthquake outside forced a small crack in the original stone gate, and then the temperature outside increased sharply, the outside was hot and cold inside, a huge muffled sound knocked the crack, and the water flowed like a wild lion out of the cage, gradually breaking open the crack, and the crack became wider and wider. The water pressure dropped sharply, and the three of them were relieved, but the water rushed the three of them towards the crack, but fortunately, Eleven hurriedly sacrificed the entangled beast vine and grabbed the three of them. Later, the current gradually became smaller, and then it was weakly released. The three of them were sent to the ground by the last turbulence and fainted.
Anything above the trapped immortal mound had been reduced to ashes, and the water was naturally washed clean by this violent force.
The terrain of this Nanyaozhuang is higher than the surrounding area, and the place is also remote. This sudden rapids flowed into the river, filling the river that had been burned dry by the red-haired boy yesterday. The people of the city only heard the sound of turbulence at night, because there were often rapids coming down from the heavenly pool, so they were accustomed to it. The next day, it was as if nothing had happened. But the huge manor that stood in the distance was gone. There was a vague topic of discussion.
Eleven and Jin Jiu were probably too hungry, and they didn't buy to eat with Miao, so they ate alone, and then took some to the boat, and just stepped on their four feet, one stumbled, and almost fell. I saw the boat quickly swimming towards the place where I lived, and the people on the shore were startled, and they hurriedly looked, it turned out that Miao was watching the two of them eat in the river, looking fragrant, and he had already endured it, but he was afraid that he would be recognized when he went ashore. So when the two of them got on the boat, they hurried away.
The three of them arrived at the place where they lived, Miao hurriedly ran ashore, opened the door, took the food, went in and quickly ate it, complaining while eating, one time blaming Jin Jiu for not being delicious enough, and the other time blaming Jin Jiu for not knowing the same weal and woe, and not paying attention to righteousness. Eleven looked for the thatched house, Jin Jiu lay on the bed, sacrificed two halves of the golden blade, shining in front of his eyes, and smirked while watching. Then there was a melancholy look on his face.
"Oh, are you still so sad when you find the Xuanjin Blade?" Miao had just eaten and wiped her mouth to look at Jin Jiu who was lying on the bed.
"I'll go back to the Netherworld tomorrow and surrender the Golden Devil!" Jin Jiu said.
"Go back to the Netherworld, oh! good~" Miao smiled, thinking in her heart: "Xiao Jiujiu is gone, Eleven is here, Eleven will play with me in the future, look at his honest appearance, although he is smart, he knows very little, and he is easy to deceive!"
There was a "squeak" on the door, and Eleven returned to the room after going to the hut.
"Brother Eleven, I will leave Tianshui City tomorrow and go back to the Netherworld to help my brother and them, thank you for your help this time. Jin Jiu said to Eleven.
"Brother Jin, you make me ashamed to say that, I really didn't help anything! and almost hurt you and Brother Miao. Eleven arched his hand and said.
"If it weren't for you, I don't know when I'll be able to retrieve my Xuanjin Blade!" Jin Jiu said, "By the way, Brother Eleven, where will you go in the future?"
"You don't need to ask!Of course it's playing with me in Tianshui City!" Miao hid with a smile, then turned to Eleven and said, "Brother Eleven, you said yes!"
"Brother Miao, thank you for your kindness, I still have to look for someone, I can't stay here for a long time!" Eleven replied.
Let me tell you, Tianshui City has excellent feng shui, elegant environment, many people enter the city every day, and you will definitely wait for the person you are looking for in the city. Miao said, "Besides, do you know where to look?"
"I really don't know! There is a vast sea of people, and I don't know where to find it!" Eleven lowered his head and sighed, thoughtful.
"Yes, this search is like looking for a needle in a haystack, so you can listen to me and wait in Tianshui City! There are many things in Tianshui City that you haven't seen before, such as Xu's porridge shop, lean porridge, and nut crisp, and" Miao said with a smile, saying a lot of delicious and interesting shops that are not available in various parts of the city.
Eleven just smiled, then turned to Jin Jiu and said, "Brother Jin, you go back to the Netherworld, but in the northwest direction?"
"Yes, from here to the northwest, thousands of miles away!" replied Jin Jiu.
Eleven wants to come here Xiaoting and Dayou don't know where they are, and they don't know where to look for it, although the water city is very big this day, but there are many people. It is impossible for Otomo to come to the city as a wolf, so it is better to look for it in the northwest direction with Jin Jiu. "Brother Jin, since you are going to the northwest, and I don't know where to go, why don't we go together!"
"Ah, you, you, you, you really want to go!" Miao heard this, and looked at Eleven in a daze. I thought I could learn some chess skills from that kid.
"Okay, okay, Brother Eleven, let's go together tomorrow!" Jin Jiu said with a smile.
"What about me!?" Miao frowned, sighed, and thought to herself, as soon as the two of them left, there would be no one to accompany them, wouldn't they suffocate themselves. So many people in Tianshui City are looking for themselves to settle accounts, and it is not interesting to go out alone, if you leave Tianshui City and find the other party, how can it be good! There is not so much water in Tianshui City, there is no way to escape! Thinking of this, I scratched my head and seemed to be very annoyed.
"I want to go outside, too! I don't know where to go!" Miao muttered to herself.
"Then why don't you come with us, and come together!" Eleven said with a smile. Eleven saw through his thoughts, thinking that he wanted to go with Jin Jiu, but he usually pretended to know everything, and he always pretended to be a person with ideas, so he was willing to take the initiative to follow Jin Jiu and say that he wanted to go together.
"Then I'll be reluctant to make it difficult and go with you!" Miao nodded. With a reluctant look, he said in his heart: "It's better to be arrested than to suffocate to death!"
The three of them probably didn't sleep well all night, and after talking a little, they became a little sleepy, and went back to bed.
On the second day, Eleven was woken up by the sound of ping-pong coming from Miao's room. So I got up, washed up, and went next door to take a look, only to see that Miao was rummaging through something, and dropped the cups and glasses in the room everywhere. Seeing the strangeness, Eleven asked, "Brother Miao, what are you looking for?"
"I'll know when I find you!" Miao rummaged under the bed again, smashing several large porcelain vases, and then stopped.
"Finally found it!" I saw Miao holding a three-foot-long, half-inch-thick log bar in both hands, and her eyes were shining. The strip of wood is sharpened at one end, and a groove is cut out at the other, and the shape of the arrow looks like an arrow, and from a distance, the arrow is not peculiar, gray, and the arrow is not made of steel, and the tail of the arrow has no feathers.
"Brother Miao, are you looking for one?" Eleven asked.
"Brother Eleven, don't underestimate this arrow, this arrow looks plain on the surface, you take a closer look. Miao said, and then walked over to Eleven. "Look, is there a dragon pattern on this arrow!?"
Eleven leaned up to take a look, and sure enough, the body of the arrow was covered with dragon patterns, deep or shallow. The underside of the grain has a faint green color.
"This arrow, but it is very powerful, my ancestor's Red Feather Qingling was killed by this arrow! Don't you know my ancestor's Red Feather Qingling, that is the fastest bird in the world! It is one of my most powerful archery uncles, and the arrows he shoots can't catch up!" Miao said with a sigh, his eyes saw the body of the arrow from the arrow, and the tail of the arrow from the body of the arrow.
"True spiritual creatures don't need dazzling brilliance, which is nothing more than glitz and glamour that deceives the eyes of the world. Simplicity and innocence are the nature of a spiritual creature. Eleven suddenly remembered what the withered man had said.
"Alas, but it was also this arrow that hurt me, running around, and I can't go back to my home!" Miao pouted and said to herself. I didn't know what I was thinking.
Jin Jiu packed his clothes and walked in, urging the two to pack their things and get ready to go. Eleven didn't have anything to pack, so the two of them watched Miao pack up her things from the sidelines.
Miao took this, wiped it with her sleeve, put it in the package, took it, looked at it, and put it in the package, these things usually don't feel good, they are thrown everywhere, and it doesn't matter if they are broken, but when it comes to leaving, they feel that everything is precious. looked at the porcelain vase that was broken just now because of the wooden arrow, and felt distressed again. In a short time, ten packages were packed.
Miao looked at the ten packages on the table and the ground, and then looked at the eyes of Eleven and Jin Jiu, and sighed in a low voice: "If only there was a small pocket that could fit all these things in!" Looking at the messy room, he stood up, took a package, hung it around Eleven's neck, and said: "Brother Eleven, I don't think you have anything to take! You can take this! This is the most valuable of the several packages!"
Eleven suddenly felt his neck sink and bent down half of his body. He said, "What are these? Golden lumps, where are those beautiful?" ”
"You don't understand, you can eat whatever you want. Buy whatever you want!" Miao stared at Eleven, stunned in her heart, this kid didn't even know this!
"Isn't that money? how different it is from the others!" Eleven asked.
"This money is different from place to place! Only gold, it is used everywhere! You know, you don't care about this. Just take it!" Miao said. Then he looked at the two and said, "Go first, and wait for me by the river on the east side of the road outside the city!
After saying that, Jin Jiu and Eleven opened the door, took a small boat, arrived at the dock, went ashore, ate something and went out of the city.
