After nine days of riding, I finally arrived at the foot of Changbai Mountain.

Changbai Mountain, which is also one of the four major sects of martial arts, is not secluded in the uninhabited mountains like other sects, but is surrounded by large and small villages, which is not lively or desolate.

However, even in such a position, the children of Changbai Mountain usually have nothing important to do and cannot go down the mountain.

Usually, if you see a woman dressed in white and wearing a white veil on her head, then she is a quasi-Changbai Mountain disciple.

As soon as the two arrived at the entrance of the village, they dismounted and walked, crossing the village without riding.

For some reason, the closer he got to Changbai Mountain, the more strange the lonely man's expression became, "Baby, find a place to rest and go up the mountain." ”

Xinghe glared at him and said, "Endless?"

Originally, it only took six days to travel, but the lonely man was always grinding along the way, and it took nine days to arrive.

Every day Xinghe talks about him, he is mostly stuffy and doesn't speak, whatever you say, he just doesn't leave. Occasionally, I will quibble: At my age, can I withstand such a toss from the Lord like you?

is so angry that Xinghe's teeth itch, and he wants to beat him, but when the time comes, he is afraid that he will pretend to be a game and rest for ten days and half a month, which will outweigh the losses. If the destination is not Changbai Mountain, I really want to beat him to lie down for more than ten days, so that he can rest enough.

Sometimes Xinghe can't help but wonder if all the wandering masters in the rivers and lakes are like this. Even if the Chu madman is like this, the current Duguzi is still like this, he is simply relying on the old and selling the old.

In the end, they couldn't turn the old man, and the two found a simple herbal tea house and sat down.

This herbal teahouse is no different from the city, it is a simple pavilion built of thatch to shelter from the rain and sun, and a few tables and a few stools can be placed underneath. However, when it comes to the taste of this herbal tea, Xinghe personally feels much better than the one in the city, sweet and slightly bitter. The price is also affordable, you can buy a pot for five cents, and there are about four or five bowls.

Duguzi stretched his waist, leaned comfortably on the pillar, and said with a smile: "Do you know where the tea leaves and the water for boiling tea come from?"

Xinghe said angrily: "I don't know, and I don't want to know." ”

Duguzi was not angry but happy, and laughed: "This tea is the wild mountain tea that grows at the foot of Changbai Mountain, as for this water, it can be big." ”

Xinghe turned his head to the side, too lazy to listen to his nonsense.

The lonely man was not bored, took a sip of tea, and said leisurely: "The water that boils tea is a mountain spring water that flows down from the east side of Changbai Mountain, and the source is naturally the Tianchi water that is regarded as a holy pool by the group of female monks in Changbai Mountain. ”

Xinghe still ignored him.

Duguzi continued: "This Tianchi is a god, it is rumored that there is a hundred zhang long dragon living in it, Changbai Mountain can be inherited for a hundred years, and this dragon has an inseparable relationship. ”

Xinghe squinted, naturally not believing the words of the dragon in his mouth. "Have you seen it?"

The four mythical beasts of folklore, he hadn't heard of them, but he had only seen two. Xuanwu and White Tiger.

Among them, Xuanwu is still a king who has eaten half of the snake and has not eaten it in his stomach.

He had really seen the white tiger, but he couldn't remember exactly where it was. I only remember that the tiger has white hair all over its body, and it is also larger than other tigers, and its momentum is more powerful. However, later, Xinghe saw in a medical book that this kind of white tiger is the same except for the difference in coat color from other tigers, and it does not have any divine power like the legendary beast White Tiger at all. In layman's terms, it is the freak among the tigers, but the number is relatively small, and it is not common, so people will spread it to be miraculous.

As for the divine dragon in the mouths of Suzaku and Duguzi, he didn't believe it at all, at least he didn't believe it before he had seen it.

"I haven't seen it. However, the lonely man still said in one sentence: "These things, if you believe it, you will have it, and if you don't believe it, you will not have it, the old man has heard of it, but he has never seen it, so he is half skeptical." ”

"Then you're still talking here. "Star River Channel.

Duguzi smiled and said, "Why can't you say it, old man, I'm just trying to be addicted." ”

"Get out. Xinghe snorted coldly and said to the busy shopkeeper: "Shopkeeper, do the people of Changbai Mountain often go down the mountain?"

The shopkeeper came over with a teapot and said, "I didn't see much of it before, but in recent months, I have often seen a female disciple in white clothes riding a white horse often descending the mountain. ”

"Oh?" Xinghe wondered.

The shopkeeper smiled and said, "Your son, you are from a foreigner, right?

Xinghe nodded, not saying anything more.

The shopkeeper put the teapot on the table and explained with a smile: "We are all mountain villages here, and the government doesn't care about it, and it doesn't care, and it often makes people panic." Although the people of Changbai Mountain will occasionally help us solve some troubles, this is not a long-term solution, and the people of Changbai Mountain will not go back to the mountain for a while. Over time, those bandits also understood that whenever the people from Changbai Mountain went down the mountain, they would not come out to make trouble, but as soon as the people left, they began to come out again to rob money and people everywhere. Speaking of luck, a few months ago, a woman in white on a white horse in Changbai Mountain heard about these things from somewhere, and always went down the mountain twice in three days to help us solve the problem of banditry, and asked door to door as soon as they came, so that those bandits did not dare to come to make trouble. ”

Xinghe smiled: "Is that woman very good-looking?"

The shopkeeper was stunned and said, "How do you know?"

Xinghe took a bowl and poured a bowl of tea for the shopkeeper, pulled him to sit down and said, "You can tell me about it." ”

Now there were no customers, and the shopkeeper sat down and began to say: "That woman is really good-looking, we are a mountain savage, and I don't know how to say it." But what is it that Ann said by those scholars...... Sinking fish and geese, captivating the city and the country...... Anyway, we don't understand, we know that I look good. More beautiful than the women in our village, just like the women in the city. ”

The shopkeeper looked around as he spoke, and found that his wife was busy with her head down, and said in a low voice: "I am not satisfied with you, she also came to me to drink herbal tea, and praised me for my good craftsmanship and rewarded me with two taels of silver." When you come, sit in the same position where you are sitting now. ”

Xinghe smiled, riding a horse? I am afraid that the only person who can raise horses and play horses in Changbai Mountain is Xiaoyao City. Presumably, no one else has this privilege except her.

I just don't know whether to be happy or sad for the head of Changbai Mountain, I must have a headache after accepting such a disciple. Well, you deserve it. The county lord should be a good one, you have to cheat and deceive people to Changbai Mountain.

The more I thought about it, the happier I became, and I picked up the tea bowl and said, "Shop, drink one." ”

The shopkeeper happily picked up the bowl and drank it.

Before leaving, Xinghe paid two taels of silver more.
