Chapter 37: Slaughtering the Old and Selling the Young
After dawn, Yun Que was in good spirits.
When I went out, I stretched my waist first, and my muscles and bones stretched out and crackled.
The weather is good,
Yun Que took Mu Qingyao around the top of the mountain.
The scenery of Duckweed Mountain is beautiful, and you can see it far away.
"The scenery of nature is always refreshing."
Mu Qingyao sighed: "If the world is peaceful, I will find a no-man's land with such beautiful scenery, accompanied by blue sky and white clouds, and accompanied by green grass and fresh breeze." ”
Yun Que looked into the distance and nodded:
"It is indeed a good place, there are mountains and rivers, good feng shui, suitable for graves."
The two stood side by side on the top of the mountain.
One fantasizes about the leisure time in the future, and the other thinks about the burial after death, and there is a strange tacit understanding.
Although the two imagined different scenes, they both knew one thing very well.
The road ahead will be more and more difficult.
When I turned to the backyard, I saw a person floating in a small pond.
"Gate Six?"
Yun Que was surprised.
Looking at the posture, this one has been soaking in the water for most of the night, and it is estimated that he has long been out of breath.
Yun Que couldn't figure out how Menliu could be in the pond and went down to fish the other party up.
After going ashore, he found that Menliu was still angry, but he was not dead.
After shouting twice and not responding, Yun Que picked up his slap and opened his bow left and right.
After a pause, he finally sobered up the door six.
"What's wrong! Is it crackling? ”
After Menliu woke up, he only felt a hot pain on his face, and he was swollen to the touch.
"How did you fall into the pond?" Yun Que asked.
"Really!"
Menliu touched his soaked clothes, and suddenly said: "I was thirsty in the middle of the night, I came to find water to drink, I fell asleep again after drinking, I was fine, I had to go back and lie down for a while after drinking too much water." ”
Saying that, Menliu had a big belly and walked back slowly, looking like he didn't drink less last night.
Looking at the other party's back, Yun Que's face was full of suspicion.
"Gate Six should know how to water, otherwise ordinary people will definitely drown." Mu Qing Yao said.
"I don't know if he can water, but this guy can really drink it." Yun Que squatted on the edge of the pond and pointed to his feet.
Mu Qingyao looked carefully.
It was found that the soil on the side of the pond took on two different colors.
This situation can only indicate one thing.
The water in the pond fell in a short time!
As you can tell from the color of the soil, the small pond was originally full, but now it is half full.
Mu Qingyao's eyes gradually widened.
"He drank half a pond of water?" Mu Qingyao was extremely surprised.
Although the pond is not very large, it is also three zhang square, at least more than one zhang deep.
Not to mention the water of half a pond, even if it is half a tank, no one can drink it!
"It's quite drinkable." Yun Que muttered to himself.
After leaving the Hundred Jade City, at the creek, Menliu drank endlessly, as if he had a crazy penchant for water.
There is no cultivation, but you can pass through the door.
The body is thin, but he can drink like a cow.
This door six is by no means a normal person.
Yun Que didn't have much curiosity about other people's secrets, as long as he could use them, as for what kind of strange physique Menliu was, he didn't care.
Anyway, it's useful.
At noon, Menliu made a table of delicious food with the existing ingredients of Duckweed Mountain.
Most of them are mountain beasts, and after careful cooking, the taste is unique.
Eating three people and one tiger shouted happily.
After eating and drinking, Pingshanjun slapped the table and said:
"I've decided, I'll accompany you on a trip to Tianqi! The demon order promised by the county lord can be counted! ”
"Never break your word." Mu Qingyao smiled.
"One more thing, let's talk about the ugly things ahead." Pingshanjun bared his tiger teeth and said: "If the strong enemy is in front of you, there is really no way to live, I can run first!" ”
"Yes." Mu Qingyao said happily.
"That's fine! When will we go? Pingshan-kun was relieved.
On this trip to Heavenly Prayer, it actually didn't know the bottom in its heart, but it was still a little confident in the speed of its escape.
"It's been two days since I left Hundred Jade City, let's leave today." Cloud lacks a way.
"After the chaos in Hundred Jade City last time, the Red Lotus Sect will definitely not give up, and will definitely send more people." Mu Qingyao frowned.
Yun Que looked at Pingshan Jun and said, "How many people has the Red Lotus Sect arranged in Wuji Town?" ”
"This is not clear, they only let me set up an ambush in Xiaoshi Village, if you don't take the road of Baiyu City, they have other arrangements over there in Wuji Town." Pingshanjun said truthfully.
"This time, we won't go to Baiyu City, let's go to Wuji Town." Yun Que set a course for this.
Mu Qingyao naturally has no opinion,
The terrain of Zhiyuan County is most familiar to Yun Que as a local.
In fact, going to Wuji Town was a plan that Yun Que had already thought of.
Unlike the border cities of Baiyu City, Wuji Town does not have high city walls, and there is no need to go through the town, and you can go around from the surrounding barren mountains.
With Pingshanjun with him, the mountain forest area is no longer a problem.
Leaving Duckweed Mountain, the group did not immediately hit the road, but turned to the other side.
Before leaving, Yun Que still had to go to a place and get something.
Pingshanjun changed into a huge body, carrying the three of them to run through the forest at an extremely fast speed.
Mu Qingyao looked very novel, and her little face was blown red by the oncoming wind.
The seventh-order demon beast is used as a mount, not to mention ordinary people, not many cultivators with cultivation have experienced this kind of experience.
Especially a wild seventh-order tiger demon!
In the absence of taming, being able to ride a seventh-order demon beast, Mu Qingyao felt that there was no second person in the entire Great Jin Kingdom who had this ability except for Yun Que.
Pingshanjun's speed was far from being comparable to that of a horse-drawn carriage, and he galloped for hundreds of miles in more than an hour, and finally stopped at the foot of a dim and gloomy barren mountain.
The mountain has no name, and there is a natural huge cave at the foot of the mountain.
When you walk into the cave, you can feel the cold wind blowing on your face.
The darkness of the cave and the cold wind are a sign that this is not a good place.
"This place is called Batu Caves, and there used to be a seventh-order toad, a tiger near Duckweed Mountain, and many of them were caught here as snacks."
Pingshanjun acted as a guide and introduced Mu Qingyao.
Mu Qingyao then remembered that when Yun Que was fighting Pingshan Jun in Xiaoshi Village, the Tiger Demon had mentioned this Batu Cave, and was sure that the seventh-order toad here was hacked to death by Yun Que.
The cloud shorts the torch and strides ahead.
In the light of the fire, the walls of the cave were filled with depressions and knife marks.
Even Mu Qingyao could see that there had been a fierce battle here.
"I said, why haven't you seen that old toad come out lately, when did you come to Batu Cave?" Pingshan Jun Road.
"A year ago, at that time, there were people in Baiyu City who sold elixirs that increased qi and blood, and I was short of money, so I had no choice but to find some extra money everywhere." Yun Que said casually.
Pingshan-kun's scalp was a little numb when he heard this.
If you are short of money in the future, who knows if this fierce god will go to Duckweed Mountain to pick tiger skins!
At the end of the Batu Caves, there is a natural grotto, surrounded by a circle of animal bones, which seem to be eaten by monsters.
In one corner of the grotto, there is a small spring, forming a puddle.
Yun Que walked to the puddle, rolled up his sleeves and began to fish.
Mu Qingyao leaned over to take a look, and then was startled.
There are some black round stones in the puddle, the size of dates, the stones are slightly transparent, and there is a big eyeball inside it, and it can move!
"These stones, as if they are alive?" Mu Qing Yao said.
"It's a frog egg, not a stone." Yun Que held a frog egg in the palm of his hand and said with a smile: "This thing didn't hatch last year, but this year it looks almost over, so it's time to take it away." ”
Mu Qingyao suddenly realized.
It turned out that what Yun Que fished was the egg of the seventh-order toad demon!
"Frog eggs, can they be sold for money?" Mu Qing Yao said.
"Ordinary people don't recognize this kind of thing, there should be people in the imperial city who know the goods, even if no one buys it, it doesn't matter, Uncle Seven will definitely be able to accept it."
Yun Que took out the small bag that had been prepared a long time ago and filled all the frog eggs in the water, a total of ten.
Mu Qingyao could clearly feel the demonic aura emitted by the frog egg, and after leaving the puddle, the eyes in the frog egg widened, as if they were angry, and they looked very terrifying.
"Since it's about to hatch, will it be dangerous to take it with you?" Mu Qingyao subconsciously expressed her worries.
Yun Que explained disappreciably:
"Out of the water, the frog eggs will generally stop hatching and enter a state similar to hibernation, even if they hatch, it's fine, just roast and eat, this thing tastes good."
Mu Qingyao smiled wryly.
She forgot that what she was looking at was not an ordinary person, but a demon hunter from Qinghu Mountain!
Eating demons is really unimaginable in the eyes of others, but when it is placed on Yun Que, it seems normal.
Hunters, how can there be no one who doesn't eat prey.
Yun Que collected the frog eggs here, and Menliu kept squatting beside him, staring at the puddle with straight eyes.
It's like trying to taste the puddle of water that hatches frog eggs.
Once all the frog eggs were loaded, Menliu began to stretch his neck into the puddle.
"You can also drink this water, and you are not afraid of being poisoned." Cloud lacks a way.
"When you see water, you are thirsty, hehe, you don't drink it." Men Liu looked at the puddle reluctantly.
Then several people walked out of the Batu Caves.
Pingshanjun walked at the end, turned back from time to time, and muttered:
"Slaughtered the old one, sold the small one, it's really ruthless......"
Pingshanjun has a sad feeling of a rabbit dying and a fox.
If someone else kills a demon, it's over when they kill it.
Yun Que kills demons, and the one he kills is called clean, and he can't wait to scrape off a layer of ground in the demon cave, which is simply not an inch of grass!
Pingshanjun felt a burst of happiness in his heart.
Fortunately, I haven't had too much trouble with Yun Que over the years, otherwise there wouldn't be a single tiger left within a radius of a hundred miles of its duckweed mountain.
Including itself.
Hole.
Yun Que said loudly:
"Let's go, God!"
From now on, Yun Que's only goal was to bring Mu Qingyao alive to the Heavenly Prayer Imperial City.
Pingshan Jun said arrogantly:
"It's going to be a smooth sailing! The safety of the county lord will be handed over to this king, and the county lord can rest assured that this king will stay at the door even when he is bathing, and he will definitely not let the thieves peek in! ”
I don't like to hear this.
"Don't you want to see it yourself, the thief shouts to catch the thief."
Pingshanjun said angrily: "I want to see and see the tigress!" What is so good-looking about women, they all look the same, but the tigress is different, some are mighty and some are slim, and they are simply amorous! ”
Mu Qingyao couldn't help but laugh when she heard this.
After all, people are tigers, and it's always bad to laugh at other people's aesthetics.
One tiger, three people, set off here.
Half a day later, we arrived near the town of Wuji.
Yun Que originally planned to make a detour from the edge of Wuji Town, but he met an acquaintance in the mountains and forests.
