Chapter 6: Spirit Beads

The wind whistled in his ears, and Li clung to the horse's neck.

Zhi'er called this horse "Xiaobai", but in fact, her real name was "Jade Lion in the Night". There are hundreds of good horses in the Qin Palace, but there is only this one of the dragon species, and the rest are all mortal.

Such a BMW naturally enjoys first-class treatment, but the life of the Qin Wangfu makes it feel extremely cramped and depressed.

Horses are born to run. Compared with lying between the stables, galloping thousands of miles and taking off into the sea is the best destination.

Therefore, it uses the mountains, rivers and the earth as a stage, swaying the divine horse. When the four hooves are windy, sweat also flows out of the pores. Li Yan touched it in surprise, and the sweat was as red as the morning glow and as dazzling as peach blossoms.

Legend has it that there is a kind of BMW with the name of "sweat and blood", but I can't imagine that it really exists in the world.

"Xiaobai" shook off his pursuers - this is natural, no one can catch up with it, because he does not know the direction, and it is useless to intercept it. It ran aimlessly, turning into a brilliant red cloud.

When it stopped, a day and a night had passed. No matter how you calculate, Huangzhou City is thousands of miles away.

Although his life was safe, Li Yan was worried. This is a quiet valley, surrounded by thousands of walls, straight into the sea of clouds, I really don't know how "Xiaobai" ran in. And now it was munching on the grass leisurely, and it seemed that it did not intend to leave for a while.

Li Yan smiled bitterly, and could only find another way.

He walked all the way along the mountain, walked for more than two hours, and there was still no end in sight. Thinking about it, this valley is huge, and I can't finish turning it around for a while. Seeing that it was past noon, I had to build a place to live.

He picked up some pine branches, built them into the shape of a house, and covered them with hay and dirt. Then I climbed in and lay down for a while, the size was just right, and I couldn't help but feel encouraged.

When the place to live is solved, you have to find something to eat. There are many trees in the valley, and the branches hide all kinds of unknown fresh fruits. Li Zanben wanted to pick some stomach, but his legs and feet were inconvenient, so he had to give up.

Further on, I suddenly heard thunder rumbling, and when I looked up, there was a huge waterfall. It fell from the misty snow-capped peaks and plunged into a pool of cold. The water of the pond is quiet and turquoise, and there are many big fish swimming back and forth.

Li was overjoyed, don't look at him as he can't climb trees, but he is extremely proficient in fishing. In a matter of moments, he made his own fishing rods, lines and bait, and fished by the edge of the pool. From time to time, a few wild deer ran beside him, staring at him curiously. Li Yan beckoned, and the deer ran over, rubbing his head and face, very friendly.

Li Yan thought to himself, this valley has probably not been set foot since the day the world was opened, and it is even more difficult for him to get out. But fortunately, it was only the pursuers outside, and he was not in a hurry to leave, so he embraced the heart of taking one step at a time, but settled down.

As the twilight deepened, Li Yan hit four or five big fish, and the fish here were particularly easy to catch because they had never seen anyone. He went back to the small camp and lit a fire to grill the fish. The flames danced, and the smell of the fish rang from time to time. But he was stunned by the flames.

He thought of King Qin, Hongye, Lao Chen and Zhi'er, dangling in front of him like a marquee.

He shook his head to dispel the illusion, picked up the grilled fish and feasted on it. The human mind and stomach have a special connection, and once one is filled, the other is empty. Li Yan ate three fish, left everything behind, and fell asleep.

However, sleep is not sound. It was as if a boulder had been crushed in his chest, and he was extremely depressed. When I opened my eyes, I saw that the moon was in the middle of the sky, and the long night had not yet passed.

He rolled over and tried to go back to sleep, but heard several terrible wolf howls in the distance.

The sound was far away, and there was a bonfire in front of the camp, so it was reasonable that they were not afraid of wolves. But Li Yan vaguely felt that he had forgotten something, tossing and turning, and could not sleep.

Suddenly, he sat up and slapped his thigh. This meal of fish was so bad that he forgot about his only partner. He slept here, but Xiaobai remained where he was.

Actually, you don't need to worry about horses, but it's not the same if there are wolves nearby. Xiaobai has a life-saving grace for him, if he is eaten by a wolf, he will really regret it for the rest of his life.

Li Yan did not hesitate, immediately tied a few firewood as torches, took two leftover fish, and limped back.

This hard-working boy grew up in adversity since childhood, and was much more mature than his peers, so that he could still live in an unfamiliar environment. But he was only fifteen years old after all, and he really didn't know anything about some things.

For example, underestimating the power of the night.

The moonlight was bright, but everything around seemed to change its shape in the light. They are clad in silver, but the lower half of their bodies are hidden in the dark cracks, fangs and claws, which looks mysterious.

Seeing that the torches were about to run out, Li Yan couldn't help but panic. Somehow, instead of going away, the wolf howl was getting closer and closer to him.

He quickened his pace, but how fast could a cripple go, and he stumbled in less than two steps. As he fell to the ground, a loud "Oops!" came from below, not from Li Yan, but another person.

This call made him feel a lot more at ease, at least it showed that the other party was a person, not something else.

The man was a little annoyed, patted the dirt on his body and stood up: "Why don't you walk with long eyes?"

Li Yan saw a little boy standing in the moonlight that was so beautiful that it was difficult to describe in words. He is about the same age as Zhi'er, with a goose-egg-like little face that seems to be able to pinch out water, two buns on his head, and a crooked bangs on his forehead. Those eyes were dark and bright, like stars hanging in the sky.

He was wearing a big red robe and a golden bracelet on his wrist, which was very conspicuous.

As soon as the kid opened his mouth, he accused Li Yan, completely forgetting that it was a little inappropriate for him to lie in the grass in the middle of the night, and someone else might argue a few words. But Li Yan has always had a good temper, he touched his head and just smiled: "This little brother, I'm sorry!"

The child looked at him up and down, and pouted: "Hey, why are you so ugly?"

The evaluation of "ugly" is what Li is used to hearing, and he doesn't think it is angry at all: "I scared you, I'm sorry, I'm sorry!"

The child was holding back the evil fire in his stomach and was about to vent at Li Remnant, but the other party gave in so much that he was a little embarrassed. He rolled his eyes, and was about to find a new reason to quarrel, when suddenly his stomach "gurgled".

In the silence, the voice was particularly loud.

The child looked around in embarrassment, pretending to be nothing, and continued: "You ......"

Before the words could be spoken, his stomach rang again, and he screamed even more than just now. The boy sat on the ground with a sad face, and it looked like he was about to spill and play tricks.

At this time, there is a charming aroma. I saw Li Yan hand over a fat grilled fish and said, "Little brother, are you hungry? ”

The child's eyes lit up, and he snatched it up and devoured it. After eating for a long time, I remembered and said timidly: "Thank you!"

Li Chuan thought that a good person would do it to the end, and gave another fish to the child to eat. Although he is small, his appetite is really amazing, and without a stick of incense, only the skeleton of white flowers is left in the two fish.

He ate his face full of oil, wiped it with his red robe without any distress, and grinned at Li Yanle: "Ugly monster, thank you very much!"

"It's okay, it's okay. Li Yan shook his head, but suddenly asked, "Little brother, what are you doing here?"

It was only then that he realized that the child was a little strange. This child is richly dressed and behaves recklessly, like a spoiled official in the house. But how could a person of this status appear in the deep mountains and old forests in the middle of the night? He had heard the legend of a mountain ghost in the past, that kind of ghost would turn into a beautiful woman to seduce a man, and then kill him and suck his soul. The kid in front of him can't be a little mountain ghost who doesn't have enough Taoism, right?

The more Li Yan thought about it, the more furious his heart became, and his voice couldn't help but tremble a little.

The child was very aggressive, sniffed, and raised his chin: "Don't call me little brother, call me old man!"

Li Yan couldn't help but laugh out loud, he had never heard of such a sneaky mountain ghost.

The child was a little angry, and stamped his feet and shouted, "Don't laugh, I'm just small!"

Li Yan hurriedly changed the topic: "Oh, yes." Excuse me...... The old man's surname?"

When the child heard his words with respect, he couldn't help but get proud, puffed up his chest and said, "My surname is Li, and my name is Lingzhuzi." ”

"It turned out to be a spirit bead! Look up for a long time!" Li Yan pretended to be suddenly enlightened. "What are you doing in this valley without sleeping in the middle of the night?"

Lingzhuzi's nose wrinkled, and her little face looked particularly aggrieved: "I lost a bet with others, and I want to catch Sirius." ”

Li Yan touched his head, the so-called Sirius is probably the wild wolf in the valley. The child was talking incoherently, and seemed to have something wrong with his brain.

It's just that seeing him with his bare hands, Li Yan was really afraid that something would happen to him, so he advised: "Mr. Lingzhuzi, you don't have any equipment, it's not good to hunt empty-handed, I think you might as well go home first, take the beast clip, bow and arrow, and then call some servants, you will definitely be able to catch the 'Sirius'." ”

The child pursed his lips, shook the gold bracelet in his hand, and said, "Who am I? What kind of helper do you want to catch it? If I run into it, I will kill it in a circle! It's just that this guy is very cunning, and he is good at using the method of striking the east and the west, and he has escaped several times!"

Li Remnant had an idea, and thought: Why don't I help make a trap, if I can catch some small animals, this kid may be willing to go home as soon as he is happy.

He was displaced, so he couldn't see anyone else without a home.

looked left and right, but worried: "It's a pity that there is no rope?"

"What do you want rope for?"

"Make a trap and help you catch wolves. ”

The child was overjoyed: "Ugly monster, you are really a good person!" As he spoke, he untied the red rope that tied his hair and handed it to Li Yan: "You use this!"

The two red ropes emitted a brilliant glow in Li Yan's hands, which was obviously extraordinary. Li Yan was in the Qin Palace, and he had seen a lot of pomp, but he had never seen such a beautiful object. He parted the rope, split it in two, and so on. The rope grew longer and longer. It's endless.

Li Yan asked in a lost voice, "What is this made of?"

The child's eyes were happy to turn into two crescents: "Dragon tendons!"

Li Yan sighed secretly and said no more. Although he said that he was disabled, his hands were so skillful, and he set a trap in a short time. Cover it with some dirt and grass, and it's just as peaceful. He thought to himself: If you can trap a rabbit, it won't be in vain!

So he stood up with a yawn, took the child's hand and said, "Let's stay away, don't be discovered." But as soon as he took two steps, he felt dizzy and swollen, his eyelids seemed to be filled with lead, and his legs were so weak that he sat on the ground and fell asleep.

In the dream, Li Yan came to the vast night sky. The spirit bead became extremely large, giving birth to three heads and eight arms. Stepping on the wheel of fire and stirring the Milky Way into a huge wave with a gold bracelet, he really bound a red wolf. If you look closely, the wolf still has a golden thread tied to its hind legs......

When I woke up, the sun was already high. Li Yan was shocked, his heart was broken, why did he fall asleep in a daze? When he turned around, he breathed a sigh of relief, only to see Lingzhuzi sitting on the ground with a cloak of silly music.

Li Yan rubbed his eyes, walked over and asked, "How is it?

When Lingzhuzi saw him, he was even more happy, and spread his palms to show off: "Look, the heavenly wolf is here!"

I saw a scarlet bead swirling in the palm of the flesh head, which was very beautiful.

Li Yan didn't understand what the connection between this bead and the "Heavenly Wolf" was, but he was quite relieved to see that he was so happy that he had finally been busy all night.

He hugged his fist with his sleeve and said, "Mr. Lingzhuzi, I'm leaving, and I'm going back to find the horse." ”

"Hey, what's the hurry?" Lingzhu tugged at his sleeve. "You invited me to dinner and helped me a lot, if you don't sit at my house, you will look down on me too much!"

Li Yan was worried about Xiaobai and was about to shirk it, but Lingzhuzi seemed to know what he was thinking, and said, "Your horse can't be lost." ”

He looked confident, but Li Yan didn't believe it, so he followed him to the depths of the valley.
