Chapter 18:-for-tat
Danfeng Ridge is located to the west of Dicui Mountain, between the Luojia Mountains and the dry fog forest.
The autumn wind is whisking, and the withered grass is blowing. The mountains are full of red maples, like fiery red leaves leaning on the sunset to drift wantonly, flying fire and flowing pills all over the mountains, and wild geese suddenly lift.
The sound of rustling footsteps came, and Yan Ci stepped on the footprints of the nightingale and hiked in the forest, looking for two days, but still did not see any trace of the pine cloud marten. The more the nightingale looked, the more irritated she became, but Yan Ci was silent, occasionally looking at her charming figure behind her, and a ripple rippled in her heart.
It is said that Yan said goodbye to Qingming that day, and remembered that he was scared by the nightingale in a daze, and he was inevitably a little angry, so he went straight to Dicui Mountain to find Luo Mu to settle the account.
He was not the only one who was unlucky, he bumped into Chen Cang'er and Lu Nan halfway, and was fortunate to witness two bitter gourd faces with blue noses and swollen eyes. When I asked the bottom line, I knew that I had been punched and kicked by the nightingale.
The three broken households took pity on each other, broke into Luo Mu's residence and beat him up, so flat that the little fat man cried and called his mother before he was willing to stop. Whenever he thinks of the unlucky appearance of a few people, Yan Ci always can't help laughing.
Nightingale didn't stop, glanced back and said lightly: "Sick?"
Yan Ci suppressed his laughter and walked a few steps and said, "Okay, it's just the story of a tigress." ”
Hearing this, the nightingale suddenly stopped and turned around, Yan Ci landed in a hurry, and he couldn't dodge it for a while and bumped into his arms.
The nightingale snorted coquettishly, and fell to the ground with one of her feet.
Yan Ci smelled the ecstasy smell of Lan Xun Guifu, and his expression was dumbfounded, and he didn't know what to do.
Nightingale said angrily: "Yan boy, you are looking for death!"
Before the words fell, a sneering voice came from a little distance: "Hey, hiding in the wilderness and rubbing oil, this little thief is a nasty embryo." ”
When Yan Ci raised his eyes, he saw five people standing silently under the forest over there, dressed in different clothes, both men and women.
The speaker was a handsome young man in a purple suit with a folding fan gently shaking. The rest of the people watched coldly, their expressions full of disdain.
Yan Ci said angrily: "Confused thing, polish the dog's eyes before talking!"
The purple-shirted young man laughed with a smile on his face: "Yo, the lewd thief is still annoyed and ashamed, it's really a debt of the five elements!"
This guy was obscene left and right, and he didn't provoke Yan Ci to go crazy immediately, but lit up the nightingale's hot temper.
Seeing her frowning, she didn't even bother to pay attention to even half a word over there, and a fireball condensed from the slight lifting of her slender hand and smashed it over.
Several people over there were all surprised, thinking that the ban on fighting in the door was just a matter of taking advantage of each other's tongues, but who knew that this woman would immediately turn her face if she didn't speculate.
Suddenly, a girl in a black dress came out of the crowd and said, "Let's do it slowly, my little sister has something to say." ”
As he spoke, he summoned a white mask of light towards the fireball, and with a snort in the air, the fireball disappeared.
Nightingale said coquettishly: "Talk nonsense to your pig friends and dog friends." ”
I wanted to cast another spell but was stopped by Yan Ci, who said, "Senior Sister Jiang, I haven't seen you for a long time." ”
The girl in the black dress has bright eyes, her skin is better than snow, and her appearance is sweet and bright, and she is Jiang Shuyue, who entered at the same time as Yan Ci.
Jiang Shuyue smiled lightly, and said with a smile: "Senior brother, don't come, it's okay, I don't know if the Lord of the Blue Peak is okay?"
Yan Ci smiled and groaned: "The Lord of the Blue Immortal Peak has a noble body, how can it be bad?"
Jiang Shuyue suddenly said with a smile: "What Senior Brother said is very true. ”
Yan Ci looked at everyone, glanced at a certain Junyan, and asked, "Please forgive the little brother's clumsiness, this is not Senior Brother Jiang?"
The man's face still retained a look of disdain, and he seemed to be extremely unaccustomed to the arrogant and domineering attitude of the nightingale, and even more so to Yan Ci's deliberate behavior, without waiting for Jiang Shuyue's introduction, he said with an indifferent expression: "No, Jiang Yanyue, when you have leisure, I hope to lead the teacher and brother and Ling You." ”
Yan Ci gave up his hands, first rude and then didn't dare to say anything, but unfortunately this kind of style that only knows his sister and doesn't know his brother is not clever, and it almost makes Nightingale laugh out loud.
The words on both sides are a little yin and yang, and it is clearly the rhythm of provoking each other.
The other two are Qin Tianli who sat on the Forgotten Peak and Mu Yao who returned to the Yan Peak. Yan Ci bowed slightly, Qin Tianli's face was pale, and the corners of his mouth were said to have said hello.
The female cultivator named Mu Yao had a beautiful face, her starry eyes were blurred, and she smiled and said: "I have admired the name of my junior brother for a long time, and today I am fortunate to see the true face of Lushan." ”
Yan Ci was slightly stunned, he met this woman for the first time, but listening to her words, it seemed that he had already made a reputation.
Just about to ask, Jiang Shuyueyu pointed at the purple-shirted young man and said: "Senior Brother Wu Xiu, a disciple of Jiushou Peak, came here at the invitation of the younger sister to help capture the Songyun Marten. ”
Nightingale was worried, and asked rhetorically, "Catch the pine cloud marten?"
Jiang Shuyue said: "Songyun Mink has a slight use for the little sister, and I don't think that the purpose of this trip coincides with the senior sister." ”
Nightingale's words were sharp, and she said with a slight annoyance: "I'm just afraid that my junior sister will come here and go away in defeat." ”
Jiang Shuyue's eyes flashed slightly, and said: "Since the two of you are full of confidence, you might as well act separately, and success or failure depends on chance." ”
The nightingale couldn't ask for it, so she watched Yan quit and walked quickly, so as not to delay her work blindly.
Yan Cifang began to understand the meaning, and the purple-shirted young man Wu Xiu was already quite impatient, and said bluntly: "Everyone, how about doing the right thing first?"
Nightingale's anger had not yet subsided, and she took the opportunity to attack: "Straw bale!
Wu Xiu held his breath and said angrily: "Brutal girl, and let the master say that you have a few catties and a few taels." ”
Nightingale's fighting spirit suddenly became stronger, and she took out the fairy sword and sneered at each other: "Grandma is still afraid that you won't succeed." ”
Everyone couldn't dissuade them, and when they were about to do it, they suddenly saw a white shadow swept out dozens of feet away, and a white little beast had its eyes and bones spinning, looking full of spirituality.
"Songyun Mink!" Jiang Shuyue said in surprise, and then with a wave of her hand, she shook out a cold ice pick and stabbed it towards Mink.
The Songyun mink flicked its thin legs, bringing up a string of afterimages, and disappeared without a trace after a few rubbings. Jiang Shuyue and the others didn't have time to say hello again, and they all used their escape techniques to chase after them.
From the appearance of the pine cloud marten to the startling away, the whole process is like a rabbit falling and falling, which is dizzying.
Yan Ci wanted to bounce and chase after him, but when he saw that Nightingale turned a deaf ear to this situation, he couldn't help but ask, "Don't chase?"
Nightingale smiled and said, "The Songyun Marten is trying its best to escape, how easy is it to chase it?" ”
Yan Ci pouted and said: "Fang Jia has inquired carefully, if you don't take action, it will be useless to have a Xunyu method of chasing the wind and escaping." ”
Nightingale said with a grin: "Don't worry, the mountain people have their own tricks." ”
The twilight is vast, and the tired birds return to their nests.
The two hid in the knee-high grass, Nightingale kept snickering, Yan Ci looked at her smug appearance, and longed to slap her.
Nightingale said softly: "This is called the praying mantis fluttering cicada yellow finch behind, and the nest of the Songyun mink is hidden at the feet of the uncultivated, and this blind eye is not aware of it." ”
Wu Xiu and the others were looking in front and behind the grass, and Yan Ci sighed softly: "If you hadn't told you about it, Yan wouldn't have known that Mink'er's hiding place was close at hand." ”
The nightingale said lazily, "The ghost can't see it." ”
Yan Ciqi said: "Since Mink'er's concealment technique can hide the snooping of divine thoughts, how did you find out?"
Nightingale's long eyelashes blinked and blinked but deliberately didn't speak, Yan Ci secretly scolded this damn little girl, don't try to flirt with big eyes.
Seeing that Yan Ci didn't squeak for a long time, the nightingale finally raised a small and delicate jade plate in her hand, the surface of which was engraved with the veins of mountains and rivers, and a faint fluorescence in the middle appeared and disappeared.
"It's ...... The location of Songyun Marten?" Yan Ci was not particularly convinced.
Nightingale said proudly: "Not bad. ”
Yan Ci said: "Senior sister actually has such a strange thing?"
Nightingale scoffed, "Stupid, this is the map. In the picture, a trace of mink'er's essence blood has been refined, as long as it is not within a hundred zhang range of the jade plate, the mink has absolutely nowhere to hide. ”
Yan Ci said: "Why didn't you take it out before? ”
Nightingale giggled, "I've been secretly watching, but Your Excellency doesn't know it." Speaking of which, the first deviation is vividly portrayed with that sense of pride.
Yan Ci teased: "Bragging! Songyun Mink appeared on its own, what kind of god is this jade plate?"
Nightingale said angrily: "I was so angry with that uncultivated person, how could I have thought that this little beast would come by such a coincidence." If you hadn't hit me and fallen, why would you have been so troubled? You still have the face to question me, and sure enough, the five elements are not flat. ”
Yan Ci secretly thought about this ability to use strong words, and if Nightingale wanted to admit the second, there would be no first, but he could only smile and say: "Yes, I blamed my senior sister for my mistake." ”
Nightingale said: "It's your fault, don't think that your aunt can't guess your little thoughts, and then pretend to be innocent and slap you to death." ”
Yan Ci rolled his eyes, and almost didn't spit out a mouthful of old blood.
There was a sudden silence outside the grass, Yan Ci poked his head out to look around, and said strangely: "Hey, what about people?"
The nightingale closed her eyes and released her divine thoughts to investigate within a radius of dozens of zhang.
Siye was lonely and there was no one, she opened her eyes and said: "It is estimated that it is far away, and Songyun Marten is still in the original hiding place, but it just happened to drill out of the hole, which is a little difficult." ”
Yan Ci asked: "What the five of us only did in a team, and we just did it recklessly?"
Nightingale shook her head, pointed behind her, and led Yan Ci to slowly retreat back for nearly a hundred zhang.
Immediately took out a jade box from the storage ring, the jade box has a spiritual grass, with thick leaves, on which the red glow is swirling, the heat wave is bursting, with a strong medicinal fragrance, the smell is extremely refreshing.
Nightingale explained: "The redbud grass, which has been in fire for hundreds of years, is the favorite food of the pine cloud marten. ”
She planted the spirit grass in the soft soil, and took out five small array flags and arranged them around the spirit grass in the shape of a five-pointed star. Carefully sprinkle some maple leaves to cover up the traces, and then throw a magic disk and admonish: "This is a small trapped spirit array, once the Songyun Marten drills into the array, you will send mana to activate it." Mink is extremely spiritual, and must not startle the snake before entering the magic circle. ”
Yan Ci was very interested, patted his chest and promised: "Don't worry, you will never miss something." ”
The moon stars are scarce, and the two of them hid in the maple leaf bloom, staring at the circle with burning eyes.
Waiting until late at night, Yan Ci only felt a wave of tiredness coming, and was dizzy and thinking about sleeping, when suddenly a whisper came from his ear: "Be careful, Mink is here." ”
Yan Ci's spirit perked up, and his originally somewhat lax mind suddenly became vigilant.
