I finally ate the sauerkraut braised pork. But it does not include Jin Man, who loves braised pork.

Jin Man sat in a room in an inn with a huff, and on the bed not far from him, sat a bloodless young man. Although this person seemed to be seriously ill, he was holding a bowl of braised pork and eating it deliciously.

This person is Bingyang.

Zi Ling sat at a round table, burping, and stared at Jin Man viciously on the side: "Anyway, if you don't say it, there will be no meat to eat." ”

"I don't know! What did I say! You starved me to death, and I don't have to say anything!" Jin Man looked angry.

"My master, that is, your ancestor, clearly told me that the clue to the exercises of Wuli Shuangjian is on North Changshan Island. Zi Ling stared at Bingyang, who was eating braised pork, with interest, and said slowly: "And you yourself said that if we play chess with you, you will tell us the exercises." ”

"I was trying to trick you into playing chess with me. Jin Man showed a pitiful expression and swallowed desperately.

"You have lived on North Changshan Island for so long, how can you not know the secrets of North Changshan Island!" Bingyang wiped a mouthful of oil and said inarticulately.

"I've only lived on North Changshan Island for two years!" Jin Man blinked his small eyes, looking harmless to humans and animals: "What secrets can there be in that ghost place." ”

"Then what are you going to do in that ghost place?" Zi Ling did not relent.

"It was winter. Jin Man cleared his throat and put on a posture of an old man telling a story at the entrance of the village: "I walked past Beichangshan Island and found that there was a very strange hillside on the island, and not a single tree grows. So I flew up and looked, hey, guess what, I found that the whole hillside turned out to be a big chessboard. So I shrunk the hillside and turned it into my magic weapon. I felt that by giving me a chessboard, God was suggesting that I would become a unique chess master, so I simply lived on the island and specialized in the art of chess. Now it's good, the chessboard is broken. But I finally saved your life, Master. Jin Man waved the broken chessboard in half with both hands, as if trying to remind Zi Ling that his hard work was enough to reward a meal of braised pork.

"Are you saying that this chessboard was originally on North Changshan Island?" Bingyang shouted loudly, pulling the wound on his chest, and couldn't help but cough violently.

Zi Ling snatched the chessboard over: "Is there anything strange about this thing?"

The chessboard is made of a kind of jet-black stone, which has a simple appearance and is smooth and cold to the touch. In the corner on the back of the chessboard, there are a few words:

"Looking for old trees in the twilight of the South Mountain,

Broken Bridge Wildflower Crossing.

The frost is silent and the stars are scattered,

I don't know where the soul returns. ”

"Sure enough, there is a clue!" Zi Ling shouted excitedly: "It seems that the next clue is in Nanshan!"

"It's also possible that it's somewhere called Wildflower Crossing. Bingyang was thoughtful.

"I think it's for us to find a tree. Jin Man disagreed.

This poem may be asking us to find a place, or it may be asking us to find something, and even all the clues are in this poem. "Ice Yang Analysis.

"Yes, Nanshan, Broken Bridge, and Wildflower Ferry may be different places. Let's go to Nanshan first!" Zi Ling felt a flash of inspiration.

"Please, little Master, do you know how many mountains in the world are called Nanshan? at least hundred. If we go one by one, you'll all become an old woman. Bingyang shook his head.

"But I know there's only one partridge. If the frost here is a quail. Jin Man suddenly said: "One of the five sacred birds, it is said to live in the Western Gongshan Mountain. ”

Zi Ling was very happy, "Let's go, let's go!"

"No, I'm hungry!" Jin Man cried out excitedly.

"Sympathize with patients who can't walk. Bingyang was helpless, and rolled his eyes weakly.

.

.

A month later, the West Gongshan.

Gongshan is said to be a mountain, but it looks too irregular.

It is common to see a single tree forming a forest, but it is quite difficult to become a mountain of single stones.

However, this Gong Mountain, in fact, is a lonely big stone, but it is towering and towering, reaching into the sky.

The rocky mountain is not only smooth, but also extremely steep.

It's just straight up and straight down.

Only a few huge pine trees, stubbornly digging their roots into the rocky mountains, swaying their pine needles among the white clouds.

Zi Ling, Bing Yang, and Jin Man were standing at the bottom of the mountain with their heads up, with their heads tilted and their mouths open, as if waiting to eat an egg that fell from the sky.

"Do you want to climb up?" Jin Man rubbed his eyes: "I'm not a monkey!"

"There are no such fat monkeys either. Zi Ling glanced at her lips.

"Edgeworth's flight isn't a difficult thing either. Bingyang had already sacrificed his Ke Li Sword, but he frowned slightly: "I'm afraid that there are other strange things in this mountain." ”

Soon, they found out about this oddity.

The mountains are inhabited by thousands of ants.

It's not an ordinary small ant, it's a man-tall when it stands upright. The ants are black and shiny, and they are covered in a hard shell and are invulnerable.

Fortunately, the three of them used no ordinary knives and guns.

The purple and blue light of the Wangwu Sword and the Keli Sword flickered non-stop, and Jin Man sacrificed a ridiculously shaped gourd, which was green all over, dripping and spinning. Wherever the three magic weapons went, they were like bamboos. The ants are crushed as soon as they come into contact, and the black, viscous sap sprays everywhere, giving off a disgusting fishy stench. But this ant didn't seem to have a lot of intelligence, but rushed towards the three of them one after another.

The three of Zi Ling showed expressions of extreme disgust. But he can only drive the magic weapon to fly upward.

Soon, they found that the higher they went, the fewer and fewer ants there were. The last one is also out of sight. At this time, the three of them were thousands of feet above the ground, and the clouds and mist drifted leisurely under their feet.

"Hahaha, finally keep the clouds open and see the moon!" Jin Man shouted happily.

Bingyang's frowning brows became even more solemn: "There are no ants here, is it because there are natural enemies of ants here?"

As it turns out, Bingyang is a crow's beak.

With a shrill whistling, a behemoth appeared in front of the three of them.

A turquoise praying mantis!

The praying mantis is the size of a hut, staring at the basin-like eyes, and the two mantis arms fan, bringing up a strong wind that makes people unsteady on their feet.

"Wow, wow, wow!" Jin Man shouted louder: "I, Jin Man, am rampant, and I won't become a worm's belly today!"

"It won't eat you!" Zi Ling comforted Jin Man loudly: "Because you are too noisy!" With that, Zi Ling's Wangwu sword light had already flown in front of the mantis arm. A purple rainbow fell, and with a bang, the Wangwu Sword, which once terrified the demons and evil spirits in the world, turned out to be like a mud cow entering the sea, and after a blow, the mantis arm was intact!

The praying mantis seemed to be enraged, and the two mantis arms slashed towards Zi Ling like guillotines.

"Ahh

Just as the big guillotine was about to slash Zi Ling, a figure jumped out of the oblique thorn, hugged Zi Ling's waist, and flew out from under the big mantis.

"I've saved your life again, little master. Bingyang looked at the frightened Zi Ling and said with a smile.

"It's on the account!" Zi Ling blushed and quickly pushed Bingyang away. "The three of us attack its eyes together!" Zi Ling seemed to return to her true character of a chivalrous woman.

I left the double sword and the green gourd, and flew towards the eyes of the big mantis for a while.

And it worked!

The great mantis screamed as soon as it was in pain, and turned around and fled towards the height of the giant tree.

"To chase or not?" Jin Man looked at Bingyang hesitantly.

"Of course it's chasing! This kind of monster, how can you let it be a disaster for the world!" Zi Ling said solemnly, more like he wanted to cover up the gaffe just now, and wanted to kill insects and kill his mouth.

The three of them followed the great mantis and fled all the way to the higher part of the stone mountain.

After half a pillar of incense, the three of them saw another praying mantis in a small clearing in Shishan!

Not the other one!

It's another group!

A group of small praying mantis with round heads and round brains appeared in front of the three of them.

Each little praying mantis is only the size of a puppy, and it is verdant and cute. When the little praying mantis saw the arrival of the big praying mantis, it let out a buzzing cry and rushed up, as if it was extremely happy.

"It turned out to be a female praying mantis. Jin Man said to himself, and the green gourd treasure light in his hand paused for a moment.

The big mantis saw the three chasing after him, and was afraid that his cub would be in trouble, so he suddenly let out a long roar to the sky, turned around, faced the three of them, and waved his two mantis arms wildly.

"Be careful! it's so anxious to protect its cubs, it's probably going to be desperate!" Bingyang muttered.

As soon as the words fell, one of the mantis's arms had already waved. The three of them flashed to the sides, and on the stone wall where they were standing just now, a deep ditch suddenly appeared.

The three of them gasped. Each of them sacrificed the magic weapon in front of them and made a defensive posture.

At this moment, I heard a cold long sound coming from a high place, although the sound was not loud, but it had the power to stir people's hearts. The three of Zi Ling actually felt dizzy.

"Spiritualism!" Jin Man shouted, "Cover your ears, everyone!

Zi Ling hurriedly covered her ears, still feeling like her head was about to explode.

When the three of them were in a hurry, a scene that shocked them appeared.

A behemoth flew down from the sky, with a phoenix body with fiery eyes, silver-white feathers all over its body, and the most special thing is that it has three legs!

Quails!

The quail flails its wings in a great wind, and at the same time, its slender neck rises high and emits a burst of chirps.

The three of them were unsteady on their feet, blown to the ground, and at the same time, under the attack of the Quail Dementor, the corners of their mouths were bloody.

"The three of us will attack with magic weapons together!" Bingyang shouted.

Wu Li's twin swords sensed great danger, and both of them shone brightly. Jin Man threw out a small black shield from his arms, rose in the wind, and flew in front of the three of them, cutting off the clear song of the quail. The three of them looked relieved.

In an instant, the magic weapons of the three of them had flown to the quail. Suddenly, the purple, blue, and green rays of light intertwined, forming a light curtain, approaching the quail step by step. The quail was forced to retreat again and again by coercion for a while.

With a wave of its wings, the quail immediately stabilized its body. The quail swept coldly at the three of them with fiery eyes, contemptuous of the ants crawling at its feet like a god. When it saw that it was three inconspicuous little things that disobeyed it, the quail once again raised its head to the sky and chirped, and at the same time grabbed the magic weapon of the three with its huge bird claws.

In the blink of an eye, the light shield of my twin swords and green gourd was shattered with a bang. The magic weapon of the three fell back to the ground. At the same time, the three of Zi Ling felt a huge coercion coming towards them, and they couldn't raise a trace of true qi around them, and they could no longer urge the martial arts and magic weapons, so they fell down softly.

"The Quail is an Ancient Divine Beast! We are no match for it at all!" Jin Man shouted with a bitter face, "We're going to fold here!"

"Partridges have lived for tens of thousands of years and have opened their minds, so how can they easily attack humans?" Bingyang asked puzzled.

"Probably because it thinks we've robbed it of its food. Zi Ling pointed to the big mantis with teeth and claws on the side and said.

"Those praying mantis are food for the partridges?" Jin Man also looked at the group of praying mantis huddled to the side, and suddenly shouted again: "Oops! The little praying mantis is going to be blown down the mountain by the wind!"

Sure enough, the little green praying mantis slid towards the edge of the clearing in the wind fanned by the quails.

The big mantis was in a hurry, desperately crawling towards the edge of the clearing, trying to stop the little mantis that was slipping down.

A small emerald green mantis has been blown to the edge of the clearing by the Gangfeng wind, and after a few futile struggles, it has fallen into the deep sky.

A scene that shocked Ziling reappeared.

Jin Man actually followed the little mantis and turned over and jumped down.

"Jin Man!" Zi Ling shouted in shock: "You are crazy! You have no true anger, you will fall to your death!"

After speaking, Zi Ling struggled to reach out to pull Jin Man, but he fell into the void, and could only watch Jin Man fall into the deep sky. Bingyang grabbed Zi Ling's arm, afraid that she would jump down as well.

"Jin Man!" Zi Ling couldn't help but cover her eyes and burst into tears.

I heard a clear chirp, and the sound of the quail sounded again.

Zi Ling stopped crying, opened her eyes, and suddenly opened her mouth wide, and saw a strange scene.

The quail flailed its wings and stopped in mid-air, and on one of the huge claws of a bird, suddenly a person hung on it.

An old man with a chubby head and small eyes, his originally red face had turned pale, and he was clutching a small praying mantis the size of a puppy in his arms.

"Jin Man!" Zi Ling jumped up and laughed: "It was the Partridge that saved you!"

I saw the stork throwing Jin Man into the open space. Jin Man was obviously frightened and slumped on the ground.

"It seems that the praying mantis is not the food of the Partridge, but the Partridge's friend. Bingyang came over and patted Jin Man on the shoulder: "Jin Man, you saved the little mantis, so the Partridge saved you." ”

The tense atmosphere just now is gone. People, birds, and praying mantis instantly become friendly and peaceful.

The quail landed faintly on the branch next to it, and looked at the three of them, and the bird's eyes were no longer full of anger.

The praying mantis family was reunited, and the little praying mantis let out a buzzing cry again, surrounding Jin Man, apparently already treating him as a friend.

Jin Man is an animal lover, and his good deeds inadvertently resolved the catastrophe of the three Zi Ling.
