Chapter 35: Heading South
All the way south, trekking through mountains and rivers, Qinghe and his party saw the scenery along the way, and the great mountains and rivers were in full view.
When I got tired of walking, I stopped by a small stream to rest.
Mudon was the first to jump off his horse and ran to the stream to drink water to quench his thirst, and the others also dismounted.
It was noon, the sun was very big, fortunately there were trees around, Qinghe walked to the shade of the trees to enjoy the shade, occasionally there was a breeze blowing, very comfortable.
The little red bird incarnated by the nine-headed fire phoenix stood on her shoulder and fiddled with its feathers, and its two small eyes blinked and were a little cute.
She suddenly remembered that Mo Junqian's Jiaolong was also a high-level demonic beast, and she could speak people's words, raised her hand and touched its head, and said casually: "Can you also speak?"
The little red bird didn't react, still licking its feathers.
Qinghe glanced at the sword in Mo Junqian's hand: "Why don't I give you a name too, I guarantee that it is more domineering than that dragon, it is better than ...... It's called Xiaohong?"
The little red bird stiffened for a moment, and quietly turned his head away and turned his back to Qinghe.
Shen Xun laughed at her on the side: "How did you associate Xiaohong with domineering?"
Qinghe: "You don't understand this, the so-called big hidden in the city, many masters are famous with an ordinary name, I don't think there is anything wrong with the name Xiaohong." ”
She held the little red bird in her hand and forced it to look up at her, and said in an almost soft tone, "Right, little red?"
Shen Xun looked at this scene with disgust on his face, if the nine-headed fire phoenix had an expression, it must be an expression of 'I was kidnapped, save me'.
Li Jiang took the filled water hyacinth and walked to Mo Junqian, who was standing by the stream in a daze, and handed it to him, Mo Junqian took it, but did not drink it.
"What are you thinking?" Li Jiang followed his line of sight, and all he could see was the emerald green peaks.
"I'm wondering, who is the person who rescued Mo Zhanli, could it be the person behind the scenes that the master said?"
Li Jiang: "I thought you would think of something else. ”
Mo Junqian smiled: "I'm not as fragile as you think. To be honest, my impression of my parents has long been worn down by time, and I have lived a good life without them for so many years, isn't it?"
Li Jiang sighed: "Yes, the process of growing up is like this, cruel and realistic. He patted Mo Junqian on the shoulder, "For us cultivators, this is the experience. ”
Mo Junqian nodded, and his gaze softened when he touched Qinghe, who was playing happily with Xiaohong in the shade of the tree.
Mu Dong stared at it for a long time with a handful of water from the stream, and said to himself, "Strange ......"
Li Jiang walked over, looked at him stupidly observing the water, and raised his hand to give his head a loud brain crash.
Mu Dong was excited, and the water in his hand fell back into the stream, splashing a cluster of waves.
Turning his head and just about to scold, he saw that Li Jiang had already walked to the place where the horse was tethered, untied the reins, jumped onto the horse, and beckoned: "Let's go, be sure to rush to Luochuan City before dark!"
Qinghe in the shade of the tree stood up slowly, Xiaohong broke away from her palm, spread her wings lightly, circled in the sky a few times and flew in one direction, leaving Qinghe standing in place.
Shen Xun: "Look, it really doesn't like your name, and it wants to run away for a long time." ”
Qinghe: "You don't understand, it's because I like it so much that I can't wait to show you the new name." ”
Shen Xun didn't understand, and the next moment he heard Qinghe shouting to the sky: "Xiaohong, wait for me!"
After hearing this shout, the nine-headed fire phoenix in the sky shook its wings and almost fell into the sky.
After the laughter, the horses neighed, and the group embarked on the journey again, the sound of hooves rolled up a wave of earth, raised their hands and whipped them, and rode away.
Not long after they left, a figure quietly landed on a tree, covered in a black robe, revealing only a pair of dark eyes.
His gaze followed a few figures in the distance, until he couldn't see anything, the black-robed man waved his sleeves and disappeared in place, as if he had never appeared, only the branches that had stayed were still trembling slightly, and after a moment everything returned to calm.
......
The plan could not catch up with the change, and the original plan to arrive at Luochuan Castle before dark was ruined due to a heavy rain, so he had no choice but to stay overnight from the sentry tower outside the city.
It is said to be a whistle tower, but it is actually a small inn, which looks a little old on the outside, and there are several big red lanterns hanging around, and the light illuminates a place around it, so that guests who come at night can see the road clearly.
Because of the rain, there were a lot of people staying at the inn, and Li Jiang finally broke out of the encirclement of the three floors inside and the three floors outside, and successfully booked three rooms.
One was given to Qinghe, a deluxe single room.
The remaining two rooms are divided equally by four people, Li Jiang and Mu Dong, Mo Junqian and Shen Xun.
After a tiring day, Qinghe originally wanted to take a hot bath, but seeing that the boss was busy, the only guy was busy dealing with various guests, and suddenly dispelled the idea of taking a bath.
Regardless of the three-seven-twenty-one, the luggage was thrown away, and he lay down on the bed, and he fell asleep not long after.
Mu Dong and Li Jiang are brothers, and they have slept in the same room when they went out to run errands before, but this time it was nothing special. It's just that Shen Xun and Mo Junqian are suffering.
Along the way, the two of them spend very little time together, and they are both people who don't talk much, and it is inevitable to be embarrassed in a room, just like at this time, Shen Xun sat on the bed with an indifferent face, and Mo Junqian also sat at the table with an indifferent face and drank water.
From entering the inn to entering the guest room, the only sentence he said was probably the word 'good' that Li Jiang said when he divided the room to solicit opinions just now.
No matter who Shen Xun is, his image at this time is always an eight-year-old child in the eyes of others, and he himself doesn't care too much about others treating him as a child, for Mo Junqian, he is still a cold and indifferent character to adults, and he doesn't know how to get along with children, thinking about it, in order to avoid embarrassment, he still knocked on Li Jiang's door next door.
The door opened, Li Jiang had already taken off his coat and was about to sleep, Mu Dong was lying on the bed covered with a quilt, and he could vaguely see the smooth and regular ups and downs.
Mo Junqian whispered: "Can you change the room, I'...... Not very well with small children. ”
Li Jiang was so smart that he knew it in an instant, so he took his coat and baggage and nodded at him and walked into the next room.
Mo Jun Qianshen took a deep breath, entered the room and closed the door.
Shen Xun was doing it on the bed, his two little legs couldn't reach the ground, swaying leisurely, his little head hanging, and the movements of his legs little by little, until Li Jiang put down his burden and sat down before raising his head.
The lines of sight exchanged, Shen Xun was calm and waveless, and Li Jiang was very vigilant.
This made Shen Xun find it interesting, although he didn't help much along the way, but he never harmed them, where did the vigilance of this person in front of him come from?
He simply asked, "Do you know that it is very unfriendly for you to look at a child with such eyes?"
