The steaming cloud Mengze shook Yueyang City.

After leaving Longshou Mountain, the people of Jixia traveled south for another ten days and reached the boundary of Yunmengze.

In ancient times, Yunmengze and Chuanze were surrounded by miasma, summer and autumn news rose like the sea, and the water was dry and muddy in spring and winter, but it was difficult to move with each passing day, and the Chuanze in the Yunmeng Daze in the past had already disappeared and faded, and it was divided into lakes and swamps scattered all over the place, and since then the imperial courts of all dynasties began to lay official roads in Yunmengze, connecting the north and south.

Although today's Yunmengze is not as simple and vague as in ancient times, the wind and clouds are unpredictable, but the whole Daze is covered by the dense forest through the sky, there is a dangerous terrain everywhere, the fierce beasts in Daze are even more to make visitors respect and stay away, in spring and autumn, it is surrounded by fog all day long, once people encounter the overwhelming fog in Yunmengze, deviate from the official road and can no longer distinguish the southeast and northwest, not to mention the invisible miasma that puts people to death, if you encounter the fierce beast that eats people and does not spit out bones in Yunmengze, it is also certain to die, so few tourists dare to walk through Yunmengze alone。

From north to south, all the way to the autumn rain, the charm of the south is getting stronger and stronger, and the originally smooth and wide official road has become uneven and muddy under the washing of rain.

The yellow mud water soaked everyone's boots, but it was delayed for a lot of days in Longtou Mountain, and everyone didn't care about God's gloomy face and continued to rush in the rain, under the effect of the Buddha's fetal Dao root and the elixir returning qi pill, Bai Yun's body had basically healed, and his face faded away from the paleness of the previous days and reappeared bloody.

The bookcase on Bai Yun's back was empty, and although it was much lighter to get on the road, he tried hard to suppress the thoughts in his heart, trying not to show a look of non-contemplation.

"White clouds... Zhang Zishan shouted several times, and then grabbed Bai Yun's shoulder.

Bai Yun hurriedly came back to his senses and was surprised to find that there was a puddle full of yellow mud under his feet, but fortunately Zhang Zishan reminded him in time, otherwise he would have to fall and be covered with mud dogs eating.

"Are you still worried about the little monster?" Zhang Zishan asked.

Bai Yun didn't deliberately hide it, his eyes were full of worry: "On Feilai Peak, the little monster and I are inseparable, wherever I go, the little monster will go every inch, practice swords, cook together, sleep together, even down the mountain It has to follow me down the mountain, it has been lost for almost ten days, how can I not worry." ”

"Bai Yun, there are some things I don't know whether to say or not. Zhang Zishan held one hand on his chin and muttered for a moment before speaking.

This usually cynical boy showed a rare solemnity, Bai Yun was a little dazed for his unknown meaning, and his pace slowed down a little, intentionally or unintentionally pulling out a short distance from the people in front of him: "If you have something to say, just say it." ”

Zhang Zishan glanced at the scenery next to the official road, and said: "The little monster was born into the string realm, and it has always been a desolate spirit beast born once in five hundred years, once it grows up, it has the ability to be no less than the Tiangang realm, and it will no longer be willing to be confined between heaven and earth, and on the day it awakens, its previous memories will also be erased, maybe even you and I will not remember." ”

Zhang Zishan didn't look at Bai Yun's stunned look, paused and continued: "I know that you and the little monster are close to each other, but if you just want to keep the little monster as a caged bird, then it will never grow, even if it has an earth-shattering talent? What is the difference between it and ordinary bears? The little monster will leave one day, just like the sky is going to rain, the mother wants to get married, you can't stop it, if it wants to come back, it will naturally come back, it is useless to worry, it is better to go with the flow." ”

Bai Yun fell silent after hearing this.

"Helplessly, the flowers fell, and the familiar Yan returned, but there is no banquet in the world that will not be dispersed, just like you and I have become close friends, and you can talk about it for decades, but after a hundred years, it is not a cluster of rootless sand scattered in the wind, maybe at this moment the little monster is breaking through Tiangang and taking off the mortal womb to become the real desolate spirit animal. Zhang Zishan opened the mountain and river fan with a bang, and said earnestly.

Bai Yun was dumbfounded when he heard this, can the little monster really become a desolate spirit beast in the Tiangang realm? Zhang Zishan's words were like a slap in the face, so that Bai Yun, who had fallen into a dead end, cleared his thoughts, if the little monster really wanted to open up a world and grow into a desolate spirit beast that trembled together with heaven and earth, he should be happy for it, instead of worrying about the sky, Zhang Zishan, who was not serious on weekdays, could also say such incisive golden and jade words to guide the maze, the corners of Bai Yun's mouth curled, revealing a heartfelt smile.

"What? Am I not right? Or do you really want to treat the little monster as a canary in the cage and are reluctant to let go?" Zhang Zishan asked when he saw that Bai Yun's reaction was a little abnormal.

"No, that's right. Bai Yun stretched his brows and replied calmly: "If the little monster really breaks through the Tiangang realm, it's too late for me to be happy for it, how can I be reluctant to let go?"

"That's right, all the days are sad and sad like a bitter melon, if Yuruo sees it and thinks that your injury has recurred, it won't be good. Zhang Zishan was still serious a moment ago, and he smiled strangely.

"Full of nonsense. Bai Yun retorted, and Shicai's admiration for Zhang Zishan was completely gone.

"I'm not talking nonsense, I can see it clearly on Longshou Mountain, you fainted after being slapped, the one-eyed eagle waved a big knife to kill you, and it was about to fall with a knife, Yu Ruo was stunned to save you regardless of the old injury, which added a new injury. Zhang Zishan said with his mouth cocked.

"New injuries, is it serious?" Bai Yun looked at the white-clothed back like a storm.

"What? Didn't you tell me to stop talking nonsense? What are you doing so nervous?" Zhang Zishan sneered.

Bai Yun concocted an elbow to Zhang Zishan and repeated, "Is it serious?"

"Look, what makes you nervous. Zhang Zishan squeezed his eyebrows and said, "If the rain is fine." ”

"Alas, it's really a sad year, only envy the mandarin ducks and not the immortals. Zhang Zishan shook his fan and pretended to sigh.

After learning that Zhang Yuruo was fine, Bai Yun breathed a sigh of relief, but when he heard Zhang Zishan chanting poems on the side, he suddenly felt a buzzing in his ears and was upset, so he simply ignored it and walked forward quickly to keep up with the team walking in front.

"Play the harp to the cow. Zhang Zishan, who had a hot face and a cold buttocks, pouted, holding an oil umbrella while reciting poems and songs in the rain.

The heavy rain did not weaken, suddenly there were two horses on the official road stepping on the wind, galloping beside everyone, the golden mane flew with the wind, the four hooves were churning like the sea, the two people on the horseback were dressed in robes, the horses were like two lightning bolts rushing by, they couldn't see the faces of the two people clearly, the muddy and waterlogged official road splashed countless loess mud, everyone didn't have time to dodge, they were splashed with yellow mud.

Zhang Zishan wiped the mud off his face, but he didn't have any anger, looked at the two horses that were gone, and praised: "The golden haired male has a long mane, his limbs are like pillars galloping in the air, and he travels thousands of miles a day like the wind, which is amazing." ”

But the next sentence almost didn't make Bai Yun fall on the spot, Zhang Zishan's eyes lit up, and he said to himself: "If you take it to the market to sell, you have to sell it for hundreds of taels of silver, but it's a pity to sell it, if you can stay by your side as a mount, it will be very majestic." ”

Bai Yun was angry and funny after hearing this, remembering that time when he listened to Li Zhangjiao's sermon on Sanqing Peak, Zhang Zishan even coaxed and deceived him, and the scene of wanting to exchange rosewood beads with Baiyun is still vivid.

"Are these two people in a hurry to reincarnate? Seeing that people don't know how to slow down and dodge, the pedestrians are covered in mud, and they leave in a hurry without apologetic. Chen Cheng, who has always been straightforward, scolded.

Qi Yuzheng, who was walking in front of the team, said with a smile: "Maybe there is something urgent, and there is no time to look around in a hurry, just wipe this little mud away." ”

Walked more than ten miles, a mountain in front of blocked the view, everyone walked in the rain for a long time did not meet the resting place, the drizzle and the muddy mud and mud all the way wet the robe, look around, at the foot of the hill there is an official post station, just let everyone take a break, and then go ahead is the famous ancient Sichuan Ze Yun Mengze, just to be able to ask the post guard here to inquire about the surrounding road conditions, since the dragon head was placed as a chess piece by the prince of the Zhao family, no matter what everyone does along the way, they have to keep an eye on it, maybe they can also find a shortcut through Yunmengze, so that it can save a lot of time。

Outside the post station, there were several skinny and skinny bad horses, which were different from the golden-maned horses that had galloped along the official road not long ago.

As they walked into the station, three lazy fritters in poor clothes were shaking the dice and shouting at a square wooden table, on which were scattered with bits and pieces of loose silver.

Seeing that everyone came uninvited to use the post station as a teahouse to rest and shelter from the rain, the post man who was dancing and shaking the dice and shouting suddenly became angry.

A bearded postman asked: "What are you doing here? This is a place where the imperial court office is on a messenger, and if you lose something, it will be a big mouth with a lost head, and you can't afford it, so you have to take shelter from the rain and go somewhere else." ”

"Brother Yicha, the drizzle is constantly drizzling outside, I am waiting for the rain to hurry, my robe is already wet, and I can't see the teahouse restaurant along the way, can you let me wait here for a while. Qi Yuzheng, who was active in his heart, took out a few ingots of broken silver, and gently put them on the four corners of the table, these broken silver were handed over to him by his teachers before going down the mountain.

Seeing that the comer was generous, the postman with the beard immediately changed his face and said: "Where is there a teahouse restaurant in this barren mountain and wild mountains, you can sit casually, and then hurry when the rain stops." ”

After that, the post guards divided the pork and silver, turned a blind eye to the people who came to shelter from the rain, and continued to indulge in their own indulgence.
