Chapter 27: Into the Mountain

It's the day of departure.

Yue Feng early in the morning, the sky was bright, and he left Yue's Mansion and rode to the Yuan Governor's Mansion.

"Ladies and gentlemen. ”

The prefect received Xiao Qing, Yue Feng and Qian Chengbiao's master and servant in the main hall.

"The thousand-year-old jade comb fruit is related to the life and death of old decay. The prefect said solemnly, "On this trip, please do your best to pick up the strange fruits, if it happens, the old man will never forget your kindness in his life." ”

"Uncle Yuan, we agreed, and naturally we will do our best. Xiao Qing hurriedly said.

"The prefect is waiting for good news. Yue Feng then said.

"This strange fruit, I will definitely get it for the prefect. Qian Chengbiao also said confidently.

Beside him, a waiter holds a plate with five bronze wine glasses, in which wine has been poured.

The prefect took a glass of wine.

Xiao Qing, Yue Feng, Qian Chengbiao, and Uncle Zhao, the old servant of the monster, also took a glass of wine each.

"Go to Yuanqi Mountain, you all listen to Xiao Qing's orders, don't make your own decisions, I will also rush to the foot of Yuanqi Mountain tomorrow, and I will be at the bottom of the mountain when the time comes, waiting for you. The prefect raised his glass and said, "Anyway, everything is up to you." ”

Xiao Qing, Yue Feng and the other four also raised their glasses.

Drink all the wine in the glass together.

"Uncle Yuan, take your leave. After Xiao Qing finished speaking, he walked out of the hall, and the four of them all got on their horses and quickly left the Yuan Mansion.

The prefect watched them leave from afar, his eyes full of anticipation.

"Dad, the thousand-year-old jade comb fruit will definitely be obtained. Yuan Ye also stood beside his father and whispered.

"Da-da-da-da. ”

After Yue Feng and the four of them got out of the mountain forest, they went all the way west along the avenue, and the horses' hooves galloped fast.

If the forest is densely populated, people want to live in safer places, and even the price of residential housing is extremely high.

Outside the forest, it was sparsely populated, and it was often a long time without seeing a single person, and occasionally a village was a large village with thousands of people.

Because the common people gathered enough, they formed a strong enough village protection group, equipped with a large number of bows and crossbows to deter some little demons.

In addition, some family forces will also come to hang out of the forest, and they can rush to support at any time in case of some situations, so that the human race can survive in the mountains and forests.

If you talk about mountains and forests, the government occupies absolute control.

Beyond the forest is the land of the human race and the monsters, each dwelling place.

"Ahead is Yuanqi Mountain. At noon, Qin Yun and the four of them arrived at the foot of the mountain, and they didn't encounter any danger along the way. Because youkai are scarce compared to the human race, they are not so easy to encounter them.

Xiao Qing asked, "Let's stay at the foot of the mountain for a night, and then enter the mountain tomorrow morning." ”

"Listen to Miss Xiao Qing. Qian Chengbiao hurriedly said.

He was also very helpless, when Xiao Qing was in the Yuan Mansion a few days ago, he also went to visit and wanted to see him often.

However, Miss Yixiao has been in retreat and has not seen any visitors.

"Dismount. ”

Yue Feng and the four of them chose a good inn at the foot of the mountain and stayed.

The summer nights are cool, but there are many mosquitoes.

Yue Feng sat alone on the roof of the inn, drinking wine. It's rare that he doesn't practice martial arts for a day, and he can't sleep happily, not being constrained by his father and Liu Ye's noise, he went to the shopkeeper and took a pot of wine, and drank it slowly.

"Whew. A figure floated down on the roof, like a fairy descending.

"Brother Yue doesn't sleep so late. Xiao Qing sat aside and asked with a smile, "Are you thinking about entering the mountain tomorrow?"

"Just enjoy and appreciate the night, no, now there is a beautiful view, there is wine, and Miss Xiao is with you, if you go to bed earlier, how can there be such a good thing. Yue Feng said with a smile.

Xiao Qing pursed her lips and smiled: "Don't drink alone, give me a taste." ”

"Give. Yue Feng threw it away.

Xiao Qing took it, looked up at the spout of the wine jug and poured the wine directly, and took a big sip, but choked and coughed twice, wiping the wine from the corner of her mouth.

"Usually drink less?" Yue Feng asked when he saw this.

"Usually in the sect, the master is very strict, and there is very little such thing as drinking. Xiao Qing said simply, and then said, "By the way, Brother Yue, this time I went to Yuanqi Mountain, I think that Qian Chengbiao's monster servant is still somewhat useful, although he is very loyal to the Qian family, but after all, he is a monster, if you find something wrong, whether it is you or me, you can directly get rid of him." ”

"There are many monsters in Yuanqi Mountain, if he calculates us, he will naturally be able to get rid of them. Yue Feng nodded affirmatively and said, "The prefect also said, this time everything is up to you, and you can do what you say." ”

"That's Uncle Yuan trusting me. Xiao Qing smiled, "In terms of experience, Brother Yue is much richer than me, and I would like to ask Brother Yue for more advice." ”

"There's not much to say. Qin Yun said hesitantly.

"Brother Yue, please say a few words, I don't have a score in my heart this time. Xiao Qing hurriedly urged.

Yue Feng paused when he saw Xiao Qing's expectant eyes, and said: "There's no need to worry, picking strange fruits, the key is that you have to hide your strength at the beginning, it's best not to reveal your whereabouts and sneak into the place where the thousand-year-old jade comb fruit is, if it's really exposed, it can only expose part of your strength, so that the monsters don't feel too much threat, and you can't let the monsters feel unstoppable and destroy the strange fruit." ”

"As soon as the fruit is ripe, it is natural to grab the fruit immediately. Yue Feng said, "This fruit grabbing must be fast, and it must be too good to be secretive, because there must be monsters guarding the side of the spirit fruit." If they see that they can't stop it, I'm afraid they will destroy the fruit. ”

"As for getting the fruit, then hurry down the mountain and flee for your life. Yue Feng said, "Because the fruit is in hand, it will definitely alarm the monsters, and the monsters will definitely go crazy." ”

Yue Feng's seemingly calm words attracted Xiao Qing's appreciation, he didn't expect the young man in front of him to have such thoughts, and he was still a young man who only had internal cultivation and strengthened his body.

Yi Xiao nodded when he heard this: "I think the same way." ”

"The process is simple, but when you do it, you have to be bold and careful, and you have to be neat. Yue Feng said, "In case of some unexpected situations, you can take temporary measures, do you know that the monster knows when the strange fruit is ripe?"

"The thousand-year-old jade comb fruit used to ripen once in a hundred years, and it took ten times before there was a thousand-year-old jade comb fruit, because the time was too long, and it was impossible for the monsters to calculate which day and hour it was when it was ripe. Xiao Qing said, "Uncle Yuan also invited a master who is good at deduction to deduce in detail, so that he determined that when the thousand-year-old jade comb fruit is ripe, it will be tomorrow." ”

Yue Feng nodded slightly and said, "That's good, the monsters don't know exactly what day and hour, they only know about the past two months, then we have a lot of certainty." ”

"If the youkai knew when the fruit was ripe, it would be difficult for us to stealthily pick it. Xiao Qing smiled, "As for tomorrow, I will ask Brother Yue Feng to help me more." ”

"I try my best to help, but I have to rely on Miss Xiao Qing. Yue Feng said, "I'm good at close quarters, I know a little boxing, but I'm not good at attacking from afar." ”

"I'm the opposite, I'm not good at getting close. Xiao Qing said with a smile.

Those who practice generally try to keep a distance from youkai, and youkai melee combat is generally very strong.

Close combat monsters like Yue Feng are indeed rare.

The next morning, the sky was bright.

Yue Feng and the four of them immediately left the inn, and when the gate of the county town was opened, they left the inn and headed for Yuanqi Mountain.

"Yuanqi Mountain. ”

Only five miles from the inn, I galloped and soon arrived.

"The highest mountain in the mountain forest. Yue Feng looked up, the mountain was majestic, and the mountain was even higher into the clouds, and he didn't know how many monsters were hidden in this mountain, and there was a scene of dark tides surging.

The four of them dismounted and tied their horses to the woods.

"Ladies and gentlemen. ”

Xiao Qing looked at Yue Feng, Qian Chengbiao and the monster servant Uncle Zhao, and said: "Ugly words are ahead, everything is done according to what was said before, this time we enter the mountain, we must quietly try not to alarm any monster, if anyone is too careless, or deliberately alarms the monster, don't blame me for not being merciful under the fire and thunder." When he said this, Xiao Qing's eyes had fire and thunder flickering in the dark.

Qian Chengbiao couldn't help but feel afraid, and hurriedly said: "Don't worry, Miss Xiao, what do you say, what do we do." ”

"Everything listens to Miss Xiao. Uncle Zhao, the old servant of the monster, also said, even the old servant Uncle Zhao did not have the confidence to resist in the face of the famous fire and thunder.

"The disciples of the top immortal sects are indeed extraordinary. Seeing this, Yue Feng secretly sighed.

"Let's go, into the mountains. Xiao Qing said affirmatively.

The four of them went up the mountain quietly, and Qian Chengbiao, who was the weakest, was by no means idle in the face of such a high mountain.
