Chapter 27: The Whereabouts of the Silkworm
In the hall, the carbon fire was blazing, and a group of people sat around the brazier.
In order to express his gratitude, Liu Laohan specially took out the ginseng tea that he was usually reluctant to drink, and made a cup for Qin Xuan and the others.
After thanking Qin Xuan for his kindness, Yang Baishan glanced at his youngest son and said, "Qingsong, you have been hunting with your eldest brother since you were a child, have you ever seen that yin silkworm? ”
"It's a cloudy silkworm. Qin Xuan corrected, took out a piece of paper from his arms, and handed it to Yang Qingsong.
Yang Qingsong unfolded the paper, and when he saw the strange-shaped silkworm on the paper, he was obviously stunned for a moment, looking like he wanted to speak and stopped, but after hesitating for a long time, he finally shook his head. Although he was born with a tiger's back and a bear's waist, he is too young after all, and anyone with a discerning eye can see that he obviously knows but seems to have scruples and is reluctant to speak.
Qin Xuan, Ximen Feilong and the others glanced at each other and did not speak.
Knowing his son Mo Ruo's father, the old man Yang Baishan was anxious, and scolded angrily: "Little rabbit cub, if you know, say it quickly, forget who saved your eldest brother just now?
Ximen Feilong said coldly: "If you have any scruples, but it doesn't hurt to say it, don't hide it, my name is Ximen Feilong, and I am from the Dongxuan Ximen family." ”
Mu Youzhi on the side snorted coldly in his heart, and the secret path was really a gentleman who would only oppress people with his family background wherever he went. The egret remained silent, carefully tasting the cup of tea in his hand.
However, when the father and son of the Yang family heard the words Dongxuanximen, their faces obviously changed, the Ximen family of Dongxuanjianchi, that is the gate of the rivers and lakes that is the top of the sky, and the women and children in Dongxuanzhou know it, and they can't afford to provoke these small people.
Although Yang Qingsong was shocked, he breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, thought about it, and asked with some uncertainty: "Are you really from the Ximen family of Dongxuan Sword Pool?"
Ximen Feilong smiled, sat up straight, pointed with his empty hand, and the crimson sword behind him suddenly flew out of the scabbard, quickly turned around in the huge living room, and with a sigh of relief, it actually passed through the beam of a bucket, and finally returned to Ximen Feilong's scabbard in the blink of an eye.
Old man Yang looked shocked, he knew very well how hard the beam was, when he built the house, he spent a lot of money to buy a beam known as an immortal iron pine, but at this moment it was easily penetrated by this young man, it was easier than wearing tofu with chopsticks, where had he ever seen such a method, he was so frightened that he couldn't speak.
Yang Qingsong calmed down a little, as if he had finally dispelled his scruples, and said: "Actually, it's not that I don't want to say it, but I'm afraid that it will bring you trouble in the future, since Ximen Shaoxia's martial arts are so good, then I'll tell you." ”
Yang Qingsong said: "About six or seven years ago, I was only hunting in the mountains with my eldest brother, one day my eldest brother said that he wanted to go to other mountains to see if there was more valuable prey, I was young at the time, and I didn't know how to be afraid, so I went with my eldest brother to the mountain that no one else dared to go to, not to mention, I really hunted a lot of rare things, that is, from that time, my family's life gradually improved." Later, when we entered the mountain as usual, and while chasing a red fox, we ran into an old fairy. ”
Ximen Feilong frowned and said, "Immortals?"
"Yes, it was a man in white clothes, about thirty years old, carrying a wooden box in his hand, it was so cold in the snowy mountains, but he was very thinly dressed, after seeing me and my eldest brother, the man was a little angry, and told us not to go to that mountain in the future, the eldest brother didn't know his details at the time, so he contradicted him a few words, saying that the mountain is not his family, why don't you let us go up the mountain to hunt? The man smiled, carrying the box in one hand and pushing it out with the other, my eldest brother and I heard a loud noise, and when I looked back, it turned out that a big tree behind me was broken at the waist, and the big tree was at least two people hugging each other, and it was interrupted by his empty palm, you say, is he a fairy?" Yang Qingsong said this, his eyes swept around the faces of everyone.
Ximen Feilong's face changed, of course he knew that the person Yang Qingsong said was not a bullshit immortal, but a martial arts master, in comparison, he had just pierced the beam with a flying sword, and he looked a little dwarfed, and he snorted coldly at the moment.
Qin Xuan asked, "And then, what does this have to do with the Yin Heavenly Silkworm?"
Yang Qingsong took a sip of the tea in his hand, "My brother and I saw that person was so powerful, where did he dare to make a mistake, so I thought he was a god, and bowed his head, the man seemed to be a little happy, so he told us that he would be punished for trespassing on his realm, but he didn't want to kill in vain, so he spared my two brothers, and specially allowed the two of us to hunt on that mountain, but to help him find something, my eldest brother and I asked what it was, and the man opened the box in his hand, which frightened me and my eldest brother at that time." ”
Speaking of this, Yang Qingsong spread out the piece of paper that Qin Xuan gave him with both hands, "The box is full of this kind of insects, at least there are hundreds of them." ”
Hearing this, Qin Xuan suddenly got up and exclaimed, "Hundreds?"
"Yes, this thing is not like a snake, and the insect is not like a worm, and it looks quite scary at first glance, although your painting is not very similar, but I can be sure that it is that thing, and I also heard the fairy call this a silkworm. He also told us that this thing comes in pairs, and if you touch it, you must catch all of them, and you must not leave them alone. ”
"Yes, then did you help him catch the Yin Heavenly Silkworm later?" Qin Xuan couldn't help but ask.
"Yes, in the first two years, my brother and I helped him catch a lot of silkworms, and every time we caught them, we sent them to a stone cave on the top of the mountain, and if he was not there, we would blow the horns of the cow that he had put in the cave, and when he heard the sound, he would go up the mountain to get them. After coming and going, my eldest brother and I gradually became familiar with him, and when he sent the silkworm to him for the third time, he said his name Nangong Qingyu, let us call him Qingyu Shangxian, my eldest brother and I called out one by one, and as soon as he was happy, he passed on some kung fu to me and my eldest brother. Since then, every time my eldest brother and I go up the mountain to hunt, we have paid special attention to the traces of the Yin Silkworm, and we have caught at least twenty pairs of silkworms for the Qingyu Shangxian, but in recent years, we have never seen any trace of the Yin Silkworm, and we have not dared to go to the top of the mountain to disturb the Qingyu Shangxian. He had warned us more than once not to tell anyone about it, so we didn't even dare tell Daddy. ”
Qin Xuan listened to Yang Qingsong's words, and his heart was very depressed, if only they could have come a few years earlier, now if they want to find the Yin Silkworm, it seems that they have to go deeper into the Kunlun Mountains, and listening to Yang Qingsong's words, there are already people in the Kunlun Mountains looking for the Yin Silkworm everywhere, and I don't know if it is extinct now?
That night, Qin Xuan gathered everyone and discussed the matter of climbing the mountain to find medicine tomorrow, and then returned to the room to rest.
In the early morning of the erection day, the day had just dawned, and the group was led by Yang Qingsong and entered Kunlun Mountain.
Kunlun Mountain, also known as the Tianshan Mountains, stretches for thousands of miles, the mountains are stacked, countless strange peaks are scaly, one peak is higher than the other, and the climate is cold, few ordinary people are willing to go into the depths of the mountain range.
After turning over the two big mountains on the periphery, Qin Xuan and the others came to the foot of a mountain peak that towered into the sky, Yang Qingsong pointed to the high mountain in front of him and said, "This is the big mountain I talked about yesterday, and I don't know if Qingyu Shangxian is still on the top of the mountain now." ”
Qin Xuan raised his eyes, and as far as he could see, there was a tall mountain where black and white intersected and could not be seen on either side, the black was all kinds of towering ancient trees, and the white was the snow on the mountain and the branches. After looking at it for a moment, he said: "Brother Yang, thank you for leading the way, now that you have arrived, you can go back first, it will not be good if we bring you trouble." ”
Yang Qingsong didn't insist, and after saying goodbye to everyone, he turned around and left.
After Mu Linchun went deep into Dongxuan, he couldn't wake up all day, and after everyone discussed it last night, they decided not to wake him up first, and then talk about it when they found the Yin Tiantian, and Mu Youzhi stayed at Yang Baishan's house and was responsible for taking care of his brother.
Qin Xuan, Ximen Feilong, Han Diaoyi, Li Hanyi, Bai Lu and Yue Yao entered the mountain in front of them without hesitation.
From the outside, it seems that the mountains are all over the white expanse, and when you get closer, you know that there is not much snow in the mountains and forests, but the vision is dim, and there are thorns and thorns, and the strange trees are forested. Towering trees that are more than ten feet tall can be seen everywhere, and it is not uncommon for strange flowers and plants that are not afraid of the cold. Occasionally, one or two beasts trying to feed a group of people for lunch are destined to be the opposite.
After going deep into the mountains and forests for a few miles, the Great Elder Han Diaoyi said to everyone: "This is not a way, it is better for us to look for it separately, and then meet at the top of the mountain." ”
Naturally, there was no objection to this proposal, and the last six people divided into three teams in pairs. Qin Xuan and Egret were in a group, Yueyao and Ximen Feilong were in a group, and Han Diaoyi and Li Hanyi were in a group.
Once the team was assigned, the three pairs dispersed.
Qin Xuan and the egret walked a few miles to the east before turning to the direction of the top of the mountain, the egret was still dressed in white clothes, white shoes and white hostas, looking like he did not eat the fireworks of the world. She is a master of the Tianyuan Realm, so since she entered the mountains and forests, she has almost never touched the ground, stepping on branches and leaves, and stepping on snow without a trace, just like an immortal. This made Qin Xuan, who was also walking hard, envious, and he said: "You are walking so fast, why don't you go around the neighborhood more, the two of us walk together, and the places we can see are limited after all." ”
The egret showed a rare smile, "If I say that the wind and grass within a radius of five miles can't escape my qi induction, do you believe it or not?"
Qin Xuan smiled bitterly, "Okay, just when I didn't say it." ”
"You seem to have ascended?" the egret suddenly diverted the subject.
"Hehe, I only touched the threshold of the Divine Martial Realm a few days ago, but I haven't broken through it yet, and now at most it is the Great Perfection of the True Martial Realm, so I guess I can survive ten moves in your hands, right?"
Egret glanced at him, "Hmph, that depends on my mood, if I want to kill with one hit, you can't make a second move." ”
Qin Xuan was a little stunned, and said with a smile: "Egret, I found that you seem to be moving closer to Mu Youzhi, can you not be so honest?"
Bailu stopped her body, her beautiful eyes flowed, looked at Qin Xuan, and said, "What's the matter, I flirt with Mu Youzhi every day, and it's only been a day apart, so you miss her?"
"Look, you're here again......"
The two joked with each other while walking towards the top of the mountain, usually, the egret didn't like to talk much, let alone talk back to Qin Xuan like this, Qin Xuan thought that it might have something to do with her personality, so he was willing to laugh with her.
Since the egret could sense all kinds of wind and grass within a radius of five miles, the speed of the two of them was relatively fast, and after about two hours, they reached the top of the mountain.
