Dawn of the Immortal Mountain Chapter 21: Tongchang Mountain, the jungle envoy

Three days later, at dusk, Su Mu and Tan Rusu came to the foot of Tongchang Mountain in Gufeng County.

At the foot of the mountain, there are only a dozen or so scattered families, all of whom are said to make a living by hunting and chopping wood.

Su Mu and Tan Rusu are in one of them at the moment, and the owner of the family is the jungle envoy of the Shushan Shangong Pavilion.

The so-called jungle envoys are the people who are stationed in the mountains and jungles in Shushan, and the rivers and lakes are responsible for observation.

There are 100,000 mountains and jungles in Shuzhong.

Not all of them were monks, and even more of them were ordinary mortals, but they all had one thing in commonβ€”they were extremely good at lurking and observing.

Tongchang Mountain is not a big mountain, and there is only one person stationed in the jungle here, who has the cultivation of entering the Dao realm.

He was very happy to learn that someone from Shushan finally came to solve the matter of the fox demon.

"My name is Detective Song, I'm a local, the two immortal chiefs are finally here, please come in."

Song Tan was dark-skinned and not tall, followed by a little boy, always grabbing the corner of his clothes, "This is my younger brother, called Ah Zhen, Ah Zhen, quickly meet the two immortal masters." ”

The jungle makes non-Shushan disciples unable to be commensurate with brothers.

However, there is another possibility, such as entering Shu Mountain, and finally having no choice but to go down the mountain and choose to become a disciple of Shu Mountain.

Ah Zhen was born chubby, and compared with his brother's thin body, it was a great contrast.

He was afraid of strangers and did not dare to step forward.

But in recent days, I have heard my brother say many times that as long as the immortal masters of Shushan come, they can continue to live a peaceful and stable life in the future, and he can continue to play in the mountains.

He timidly looked at Su Mu and Tan Rusu, and found that the two faces that came into view were very good-looking.

Perhaps, in the eyes of children, what looks good has become beautiful, kind, good people, and so on.

So he wasn't so scared anymore and asked, "Brother Daoist, Sister Fairy, can you really beat away the monsters?" ”

The interior of the house is simple, and the slightest movement of the stool that sits down makes a creaking sound.

Song Tan was a little embarrassed to take out some white-flour steamed buns, he knew that this kind of food was a delicacy for them, but it was very inappropriate to entertain the immortal masters on the fairy mountain, "I'm really sorry, because there are fox demons in the mountain, and there is not much food at home, and I hope the two immortal masters will forgive me." ”

"You know that we are on the immortal mountain you are talking about, and we are asked to open the valley every three or five times, and we can't eat anything,"

Su Mu picked up a steamed bun, accompanied it with the dried vegetables next to it, and said with a smile: "This kind of steamed bun is simply a delicacy in the world for us." ”

Tan Rusu didn't move her chopsticks, and cut the topic to the right track, "In the past few days, has the fox demon reappeared?" Are there any missing people in the village? ”

"I'm not very clear,"

Song Tan looked ashamed and said, "I haven't been up the mountain since I last recognized the identity of the fox demon with the goggles. ”

"You're a jungle envoy, but you didn't go to investigate?"

In this regard, Tan Rusu was a little incomprehensible.

In her opinion, since she takes the money of Shushan, she naturally has to be conscientious, if she is afraid, why choose such a job?

Su Mu motioned for her to be calm, he still had some doubts in his heart.

As far as he knew, the jungle made him pay well, because the job was risky.

But Song Tan's family background looks very poor, and even the white-flour steamed buns on the table are obviously specially prepared for them, presumably they eat worse on weekdays.

"It's okay, we can understand,"

Su Mu said: "Then now the surrounding villagers, there should be no one who will go up the mountain again, right?" ”

Song Tan's hands under the table were pulled together, and he lowered his head and said: "After I confirmed that it was a monster, I informed the surrounding villagers, at first they didn't believe it, and then the people who went up didn't come down, and in recent days, no one dared to enter the mountain again, but..."

"But what?"

"But this morning, there was a group of hunters from other villages, they learned that there were monsters on Tongchang Mountain, so they said that they would go into the mountain to hunt fox demons and sell them for money, and they have not yet come down the mountain."

Upon learning of this, Su Mu and Tan Rusu also immediately decided to go up the mountain immediately.

"Two immortal masters, I suggest that you pretend to be a hunter and go into the mountain,"

When Song Tan heard the decision of the two of them to enter the mountain, he got up and said: "After entering the mountain, they will march to the dense east side of the mountain forest, which is where hunters often go, but the fox demon set up a phantom array in the forest, lost mortals, and was not released until nightfall, and finally they had to go into the ancient temple in the mountain to rest." ”

"I've checked that phantom array, it's not complicated..."

......

"See what?"

Out of the Song family, Su Mu and Tan Rusu left the village as fast as possible and came to Tongchang Mountain before entering the mountain pass.

Tan Rusu held the wine gourd and drank, the aroma of the wine was very strong, but he could still smell the smell of medicine from it.

Her demeanor was a little cold at the moment, and her tone was unusually calm, and at the same time, there was a bit of indifference in her calmness, "There is something wrong with this person." ”

Su Mu was keenly aware of the subtle changes in Tan Rusu's whole temperament, but he couldn't describe this subtlety, looked at her and said: "He first said that he hadn't gone up the mountain since he saw the fox demon's true nature, but later described the fox demon's phantom array very clearly,"

"yes."

Probably feeling Su Mu's eyes, the cold color on Tan Rusu's face changed, and said: "He is just a cultivator who has entered the Dao realm, even if he is given a day and a night, it is impossible to figure out the phantom array laid by a fox demon." ”

"Exactly, but why didn't he tell us the truth?"

"Hell knows,"

Tan Rusu suddenly lost interest and said, "Whatever, I just want to catch that little white fox in Qingqiu as soon as possible now, and then sell it in the city for a good price." ”

Su Mu looked at the girl's petite and delicate back, and thought to himself that he needed the spirit stone for a broken body, what are you for?

Immediately, he summoned the sea monk.

Monk Hai poked out a head from the bag, his body was big or small, but it was easy to retract.

I saw him sniff at the mountain with his nose, and then looked seriously into the dense deep mountain jungle, and finally came to the conclusion, "Dao Chief, there seems to be a strange breath in the clouds and mist above the mountaintop, but..."

"What are you?"

Monk Hai said with a smile: "I smell that in the depths of this mountain forest, there are a lot of water quality spirit grasses. ”

Their clan itself lives in the water, and they are born with a strong perception of water-attribute spiritual objects, otherwise Tan Rusu would not have encouraged him to go to the Meng family to steal the spirit grass.

"Then why don't you go and pick the spirit grass, and we will divide it fifty-fifty at that time, how about it?"

In the face of such a rare share, the little monk was unmoved, "Don't, don't, there are a few demon beasts in this mountain, if they eat me, there will be no little demon to help you see the road in the future." ”

He was really afraid that the Taoist would arrange for him to work alone in order to make money.

This little monk is really good, no wonder he can survive the great terror of the black water of the East China Sea.
