Chapter 36 Forget your worries
There is a large lake called Qingyun in Phoenix, which is home to a rare fish that the locals call the Seven Stars.
This fish is born in freshwater and is not large, but it has a unique taste and is very delicious.
Hu Man'er picked up the last bite of fish and touched the belly that was rolling away.
"We've done this good guy too, isn't it time to discuss the important matter. ”
Due to the fact that the Ghost Hand Sect has been rampant for a long time, there are countless treasures in the sect, and for Hu Man'er, there are not many such opportunities. Naturally, the Ghost Hand Sect was swept up and down.
Originally, Hu Man'er wanted to take it for himself, but he couldn't bear everyone's soft grinding and hard bubbles, and finally decided to be charitable, scattering all the gold and silver to some ordinary people from poor families, and setting up a porridge hall at the city gate to relieve those beggars in the city who were not well fed and clothed.
Of course, with Hu Man'er's temperament of treating money as his life, there will inevitably be some secrets, and everyone knows it, but no one cares about him.
No, Hu Man'er felt ashamed, and specially invited the big guy to the most famous restaurant in Phoenix City to eat this most famous fish.
"Brother Barbarian, where are you going?"
Qian Yu stretched out her small tongue and licked it lightly on the sugar gourd, blinking her big bright eyes and asking Hu Man'er.
Hu Man'er reached out and pinched Qianyu's little face and smiled lightly.
"To get down to business, don't ask adults about children. Isn't the sugar gourd delicious?"
Jiang Qianyu nodded and tilted her head to look at Hu Man'er. It's cute.
The old beggar spit out the fish bone in his mouth.
"Brother Hu, I said that you really don't want to learn swords from me? Think about it, how many people rush to learn from the old man, and the old man still doesn't want to teach. ”
In the past few days, the old beggar doesn't know which style to smoke, and he wants to pull Hu Man'er to learn the sword from himself, and he calls what he says is powerful, and he can do everything in heaven and earth.
Hu Man'er knew that the old beggar was not very human, but every time he looked at his dirty appearance, even if he praised himself as a flower, Hu Man'er didn't want to believe it.
Just last night, this guy was drunk and drunk, so he dragged himself to visit the kiln, saying that he wanted Hu Man'er to see what it means to be "a beautiful woman in the bush, and the leaves do not touch the body." ”
With this virtue, what good apprentices can be taught? Besides, if one person does not worship the second teacher, this is called respecting the teacher.
"I want to cheat from me to drink, but I told you that I have a master, and my master is very powerful. ”
"Isn't it just Ling Xiaoguan's bull noses, they are all ants in the eyes of the old man. ”
As soon as the old beggar finished speaking, he suddenly noticed that several pairs of vicious eyes were staring at him, including Hu Man'er.
Hurriedly waved his hand and changed his words.
"That...... The old man is an ant, and the old man is an ant. ”
Hu Man'er glanced at the old beggar, stuffed a chicken paw into the old beggar's mouth, and asked.
"How's the investigation going?"
The old beggar had just spat out a piece of bone and was slurring his words.
"Ah...... Examine...... Cleared up. From then on about twenty miles there is a mountain called Ape Mountain, which you are looking for...... Forget the Sorrow Gorge, right there. However, I advise you not to go. ”
Hu Man'er raised his eyes and looked at the old beggar.
"What do you mean by that?"
"That place is in the deep mountains and old forests, and ordinary birds don't even want to fly there, let alone people. I've heard that the demon beast Hengsheng in that place is trekking on the road. Legend has it that there are dragons. Dragon, that's an ancient murderer. If you don't care, your life will be gone. ”
The old beggar swallowed the last piece of chicken, took a big sip of wine, and talked about the oil on his hand.
Hu Man'er and Zuo Liangqing glanced at each other, and they both saw a trace of firmness in each other's eyes.
"Little Er, settle the account. ”
As soon as Hu Man'er stepped out of the restaurant, a beautiful woman in white appeared at the door of the restaurant.
Liu Fusang looked at Hu Man'er's back and frowned slightly.
At this time, Liu Fusang was not alone, and there was an old woman with gray hair behind him.
"Your Majesty......"
Liu Fusang turned his head and glared at the old woman.
The old woman hurriedly changed her words.
"Girl, do you know this kid?"
"I don't know. ”
Liu Fusang denied it, and then turned around and walked towards the restaurant.
Ape Mountain, as the name suggests, is home to a long-armed monkey that is good at climbing and never fears people.
At first, when Hu Man'er and his party had just stepped into this land, they would often be harassed by these monkeys, either smashing them with dried fruits or taking advantage of their unpreparedness to rob them of dry food.
If there are one or two, there is no need to be afraid, the key is the large number, which is overwhelming.
Until Hu Man'er sent his own generals, money, and horses. That's when these annoying monkeys were cleaned up.
Standing in the group of monkeys, Lai Qian has an indescribable kingly demeanor. And the monkeys are willing to listen to him. It's like a born monkey king.
As for Qianyu, Hu Man'er and the others still decided to leave her to the old beggar, and Hu Man'er also left the silver he had hidden to the grandfather and grandson, but it was put in Qianyu's hands, if it was given to the old beggar, he would not have to exchange it for wine.
If you have a house, you have money. Hu Man'er and the others were naturally not worried that the two would sleep on the streets.
Besides, this long journey is indeed not suitable for bringing a child around, one is dangerous and unpredictable, and the other is not very convenient.
As the old beggar said, this ape mountain is risky, and there is no way up the mountain at all. As the saying goes, there is no road in the world, and when there are more people walking, there is a road. But this deep mountain and old forest doesn't even have a figure on weekdays, how can there be a road.
Hu Man'er carried Shankui and opened the way in front. From time to time, swing your sword and cut off the branches that stand in your way.
Along the way, he was wronged by the sword spirit of Shankui, which is nothing more than that the famous sword of Shankui has fallen to the point of chopping wood.
Hu Man'er knows that he is at a loss, so he listens to this ear, at most he will pay for it. It can't be helped, who made him forget to bring a hatchet.
"Smack. ”
Hu Man'er stretched out his hand and slapped a mosquito the size of a mung bean to death.
"Damn it, the mosquitoes here are almost catching up with the cows. And it is especially capable of giving birth. ”
Hu Man'er walked all the way, complained all the way, but in fact, he didn't complain about it, this mosquito is really annoying, Hu Man'er's originally handsome face has been bitten all over the big red envelope. It's ridiculous.
"Huh, why are you two okay?"
Hu Man'er's footsteps stopped slightly, and he looked back curiously at Zuo Liangqing, who was leisurely and complacent, and Lu Yanran, who covered his mouth and snickered. There was not a single red envelope on the two of them, and those mosquitoes seemed to be afraid of the two of them, and they were far away from each other.
Even the two brothers Zhang Chao and Zhang Hu were like no one, but only Hu Man'er was bitten by mosquitoes.
"That's not right. ”
Hu Man'er touched his chin, circled around a few people, and found that it was indeed wrong. Hurriedly asked.
"Why aren't you bitten by this mosquito?"
Looking at the smiling and flushed faces of several people, the more Hu Man'er thought about it, the more wrong it became.
Lu Yanran couldn't help it first, and laughed out loud, and after laughing for a while, she took out a delicate small porcelain bottle from her bosom, handed it to Hu Man'er, and explained.
"Knowing that there are many mosquitoes in the mountains, Senior Brother Zuo specially prepared deworming medicine, and a few of us applied it in advance. ”
"I'll go, why don't you give it to me early. ”
Hu Man'er's eyes widened, and his face was incredulous.
"Senior Brother Zuo didn't let it, saying that it was to punish you for hiding silver taels. ”
Lu Yanran cautiously glanced at Zuo Liangqing, and saw that there was no displeasure on his face, but a smile. That's when he explained.
When Hu Man'er heard this, he was about to scold Zuo Liangqing, but Zuo Liangqing's face changed, and he raised his hand to stop it.
"There's movement. ”
Hu Man'er listened attentively when she heard this, and sure enough, she heard some rustling sounds.
Several people gathered in an instant, in a square position, and became vigilant.
If you want to talk about tacit understanding, these days together, several people are not badly cultivated.
After a while, the sound disappeared.
Hu Man'er touched Zuo Liangqing with his arm and said softly.
"What's the situation?"
Zuo Liangqing shook his head and was silent.
After waiting for a while, everyone regained their true anger and breathed a sigh of relief.
"Probably the beasts of the jungle came out to feed. ”
Zuo Liangqing explained.
As soon as the words fell, a huge figure pounced out of the bushes and was rushing towards Lu Yanran, who was nearby.
This is a strange wolf of huge size, and unlike normal wild wolves, this one has two heads. It is about two or three times the size of a normal wild wolf.
Lu Yanran subconsciously turned sideways to avoid the bite of the wild wolf, and the autumn water came out of the sheath and swept with a sword, but due to the dodge, the foot was unstable, and the sword failed to cut off the wolf's head, but it still opened a hole in the wolf's front paws.
The wolf landed, turned his head to look at his wounds, and stared at everyone viciously, ready for the next bite.
Hu Man'er looked at this uninvited guest and shook the mountain kui in his hand.
"Why is this wolf so weird. ”
"This is the Kui Timberwolf. Zuo Liangqing spoke slowly.
