Chapter 699: Peach Branch

Yuelu Mountain is very deep and secluded, and the birds and beasts in the mountain are innumerable, because of the existence of the monks of the Xianmen of Yuelu Mountain, many places in the mountainous area are cloudy and misty all year round, at least what ordinary people see.

The abundant beasts and medicinal materials in the mountain, coupled with the strange legends and fairy stories of Yuelu Mountain for a long time, lead to the whole Yuelu Mountain is very mysterious in the local area and the surrounding area, it is the fairy mountain that people yearn for, medicine pickers, hunters, literati and ink writers who visit the mountains and rivers, and people who look for legends and stories to find immortals, all year round.

Now it is the height of summer, and there are many people who come to the moon to enjoy the cool in the deer mountain.

Hu Li took a group of big and small foxes at the foot of the mountain to maintain a phantom, and when they entered the Moon Deer Mountain, they all turned back into foxes, some of them carried their own clothes, and they also carried a bag on their shoulders, and they scurried around the mountain with joy.

In a place like Xianjia Ferry, the opposition between immortal cultivators and monsters will not be so obvious, at least there will be no problem with monsters who are not evil or have special concealment methods, and of course the same is true of Huli's fifteen spirit foxes.

Hu Li was still leading the way at the front, and the god surnamed Qin had pointed out how they could bypass the maze of Yuelu Mountain in the back, so the purpose of their advance now was extremely clear.

On one side, two middle-aged woodcutters were singing mountain songs and carrying firewood on the mountain road, and one of them suddenly saw a group of foxes running past the mountain forest on one side, and even foxes carrying cloth bags, and was suddenly surprised.

"Hey, look, there's a fox over there with a burden!"

"Where?"

"Well, look!"

"Oh really! The fox carries a burden, and there are so many, is this a monster......

The other woodcutter said with some caution, but the woodcutter in front of him looked excited.

"What are you afraid of, this is Yuelu Mountain, the older generation says that it is where the fairy master lives, some spiritual birds and beasts will come here to worship the mountain, let's go up and take a look?"

"Don't, hurry up and chop more firewood to go down the mountain......"

Seeing his companion like this, the woodcutter at the beginning patted his leg.

"Oh, you, you, what do you say about the old saying that we have passed down here? There are many immortals in Yuelu Mountain, don't hesitate to meet immortals...... If you think about it, when we met two gentlemen, an old man and a young gentleman, who went up the mountain a long time ago, I should have followed them, and when I went back, Uncle Chen insisted that those two people must be immortals, and regretted that they didn't go with them in the first place......"

When the companion heard the other party mention this again, he immediately laughed.

"Look at you, you're obsessed, and mention this stubble again, maybe those two gentlemen were literati who went into the mountains to play......"

"No, no, you forgot, I reminded the old gentleman that the direction they were traveling in the rugged mountain road, and neither of them cared, but later after Uncle Chen reminded me, I also remembered that the two of them were neatly dressed and had no sweat, their faces were not red and they were not panting, you don't want to think about the old gentleman's long beard and white hair, how old he looked......"

The companion shook his head impatiently.

"I forgot, how many more years have passed, do you remember so clearly......?

"You, if you don't go, I'll go by myself!"

When the woodcutter saw that his companion was sarcastic about him like this, he was only moved by three or four points, but he was immediately aroused, and said that he would go and see what he said, and climbed up the hillside directly with the firewood on his back.

"Hey~hey~ You're really going? Hey......"

The other woodcutter shouted a few times, and when he saw that his companion was really walking quickly and climbing to a high place, he soon lost sight, and was suddenly a little overwhelmed and stunned.

The woodcutter who had chased after him was delayed by a few words, so he waited for the hillside where he saw the fox, and he didn't see the fox except for the bushes, but fortunately he remembered the direction and walked forward again without believing it.

The woodcutter was actually impulsive, and his thoughts at the moment were nothing more than a stress reaction to the sarcastic words of his companions, and he planned to walk a little way back, but he walked forward for a while, and when he reached the top of the hill, he actually stepped on the air.

"Ah......h

The woodcutter who lost his center of gravity rolled down the hillside directly, the branches and weeds crackled on his body and face along the way, and a lot of firewood behind him fell out, although it was a gentle slope, but the straight line fell at least seven or eight meters, and finally hit a tree with a "bang" before stopping.

"Oops...... Oops...... It hurts me to death...... Li Er, the second son...... Oops......"

The woodcutter felt pain all over his body, and shouted weakly for a while, but he couldn't spread far at all, and his mind was full of remorse and chagrin......

Although this mountain is relatively safe, it is not without fierce beasts, especially at night, and the woodcutter can only hope that he can rest for a while to relieve the pain, hope that there is nothing serious in his body, and hope that his companions will come to him, otherwise if it is dark and he cannot get out of the mountain, it will be dangerous.

"Rustle...... Rustle rustle ......"

Not far away, there was a sound of a rope on the side of the bush, which frightened the woodcutter, and his right hand stretched out behind his back in pain, and drew a firewood knife from the back shelf.

"Who's there? Who is it? What is it? I have a knife in my hand......"

Just when the woodcutter was very nervous, there came out a young man with red lips and white teeth, who was holding a small branch with some green leaves and buds on it, and said as soon as he came out with a complaining tone.

"You're a man who walks the mountain road without looking at the road? You're still a woodcutter who goes into the mountains to collect firewood! Can you walk?"

People's mentality is sometimes very strange, the woodcutter sees the young man scolding like this, and he has a feeling that he wants to stay away from trouble but has to take care of it, and he is suddenly relieved, and such a young man can't be a strong man, right?

"I ask you, can you go by yourself?"

"Oh, well, I'll try again......"

The woodcutter frowned and tried to stand up, but his left leg hurt so badly that he struggled and couldn't get up.

"Okay, okay, I'll help you, it's really troublesome......"

The young man quickly walked to the woodcutter's side and came to help the woodcutter, although he looked young, but his strength was really not small, and he directly pulled the woodcutter up.

The woodcutter relied on the young man to support his balance, and before he could speak, the latter asked directly.

"Let's go, I'll send you back, I'll help you go, by the way, help me hold this, where can I live?"

The boy first carried the woodcutter's right hand to his shoulder, and then handed the branch to the woodcutter.

"Hold it, thank you, thank you......"

The woodcutter thanked him again and again, and there was a faint sense of excitement in his heart, this young man suddenly appeared, and he was born so handsome, I am afraid that he has met an immortal, maybe it is his own immortal fate!

So, the woodcutter began to talk to the boy non-stop.

"I often chop wood in this month in the deer mountain, I have heard a lot of stories in the mountains since I was a child, I heard that there are really fairies in the mountains, this time I saw a group of foxes backpacking and walking, I was curious, I chased after it, I wanted to ask for a fairy fate, who had thought about almost giving my life, and thank you to the young man......"

The young man carried the woodcutter forward, the sloping hillside was like walking on the ground at his feet, even with a person, the pace was still steady and not slow, and when he heard the woodcutter's words, the young man grinned directly.

"You are indeed a person with immortal fate, especially when you see the fox this time, you have taken root. ”

The woodcutter was overjoyed, and even the pain in his body was reduced a lot, and he hurriedly asked with excitement.

"Isn't the young man the fairy boy in the mountains? Could it be that you are the one who led me to the path of immortals......? I ......"

"Oops...... Don't be so excited, I'm not the one who led you into the path of immortals, and I said that you have an immortal fate, but there are many people in this world who are destined to have no part, this is the case between men and women, and the same is true for immortal cultivation opportunities. ”

"Ah...... Then I'...... I still hope that the fairy child will advise...... I ......"

The young man seemed to be smiling, with an inexplicable look in his eyes, and no longer paid attention to the woodcutter.

Seeing that the other party ignored the people, the woodcutter wanted to say anything but did not dare to say more, so he could only limp and let the young man carry him up the hill, and then returned to the same way.

For some reason, when I went back, I was very fast, and not long after, I saw another woodcutter still walking out on the mountain road.

"This is your companion, let him take you back, I won't send it. ”

When the boy said this, the woodcutter only felt that the side was empty, and he almost didn't fall down again, and when he looked to the side, the boy who was still holding him just now was gone, but the branch in his hand was still there.

'This ...... Could this be my fairy fate?'

The more the woodcutter thought about it, the more excited he became, and then shouted at his companion in the distance.

Li Er...... Li Er......"

"Huh?"

Li Er looked back and saw the woodcutter coming not far behind him, seeing that he was limping and had abrasions on his face and hands, he immediately ran over.

"Why are you so careless, hey, you're still smiling? What do you have in your hands? It looks like a peach branch, it's not right, what season is this, it can't be that the peach branch hasn't bloomed yet......"

"Let's go, go back, talk back, say ......"

The woodcutter's face was full of excitement, and he clutched the peach branch in his hand, but what he didn't notice was that the buds on the peach branch seemed to be even more red.

Somewhere on the mountain, a young man with red lips and white teeth squatted there, grinning at the two woodcutters in the distance, and then turned his gaze to the depths of Yuelu Mountain, as if he saw a dozen foxes jumping forward in the distance.
