Chapter 9 The carving is easy to find, but it is not cause and effect
At this time, Chu Xunyu's heart was slightly cold, but he smiled and said, "Why does Senior Brother ask that?"
"Brother Chu family, although I haven't read many books and don't understand much, I still have this bit of eyesight," Gao Wei said seriously: "I think I also participated in our Ming Dynasty army back then, and I fought many battles with the troops of General Chang Yuchun Chang, and I have also seen those immortal masters flying around in the sky, so I look at the methods of the Chu family brothers and this brother, it is estimated that they must also be among the immortals." ”
Chu Xunyu chuckled: "Even so, it's not hypocritical to be in the bottom, it's true that it's just as Brother Gao said, but we are just immortal cultivators, and we are nothing compared to the immortals who really roam between heaven and earth." ”
Gao Wei said seriously: "No, in our opinion, the immortal master is the immortal master, Chu immortal master, I thanked the two of you for your help just now." ”
Chu Xunyu listened, but frowned: "How can Brother Gao also be this kind of person, what immortal master is not immortal master, since we know each other, we are not bound by the rules of the two worlds, we still want to communicate, just according to the previous title, I am still your little brother of the Chu family, and you are still my eldest brother, otherwise, it is better not to recognize each other." ”
"Hehe," Gao Wei smiled honestly, and he was also a bold person, "Actually, this is what we used to call in the army, since Junior Brother Chu said so, then I will be this big brother, but, this immortal master doesn't know ......" After saying that, he looked at Wangchen.
Wangchen smiled freely, seeing that although this man was rough, he was an honest man, so he smiled peacefully: "This is not a mountain gate, and there is no need for so many rules, so let's follow Chu Xiaoyou's words, you can call me Brother Wangchen." ”
After hearing this, Gao Wei was slightly stunned, how can the seemingly mediocre appearance in front of him be called a big brother? However, Chu Xunyu called him a senior just now, and he should not be underestimated.
Wangchen saw it in his eyes, chuckled, waved his long sleeves, and suddenly, he recovered his original appearance, only to see the burst of fragrance in front of him, a flower in front of him, and a closer look, the person in front of him, his face was like a moon, his eyes were like stars, his face was neutral, and his white clothes were light.
Suddenly, Gao Wei was stunned for a while, then reacted and muttered to himself: "Brother Wangchen, Brother Wangchen, this is really an immortal method, and it is indeed an immortal." ”
Wangchen sighed in his heart, over the years, he has been cultivating in the mountain gate, or walking in the world, he originally thought that the Dao heart was firm, but he didn't expect that when he said it casually today, he was called Brother Wangchen, and his heart was warm for no reason, and he didn't know why.
Chu Xunyu was on the side, watching calmly, this kind of scene had long been accustomed to it, and after a while, he continued to ask him: "Senior brother, how did you come here?"
Gao Wei will react, and then said the reason for this matter, it turned out that since Chenzhou a farewell, Gao Wei delivered the goods, and returned to his hometown in the north, who knows, halfway, on the side of the official road, someone hired people to send things along the way, like Gao Wei, a dart master who walks the rivers and lakes, is used to wandering around, there is money to make, why not?
The shareholders of the mine are basically big families in Yingtiancheng, and they bought the mine on the edge of the town in one go, and they don't know what the reason is, they want to send this small box over, but those few subordinates think that the road is far away, so they hire someone to send it halfway.
And Gao Wei here also gathered in response to fate, and met Chu Xunyu and the others in the town, and when he heard that they were coming to Dongshan or something, he immediately hurriedly followed, hoping to go together.
Chu Xunyu listened to the reason for this matter, then looked back at Wangchen, and explained with difficulty: "Senior brother, our trip is extraordinary, in case you are in danger, then I really can't sleep, you still wait outside the mountain, after a few days, after the matter is over, I will inform you, it is not too late for you to enter the mountain." ”
Gao Wei said hesitantly: "I promised someone else, this box must be delivered within ten days, and the contract cannot be broken, this one who goes to the rivers and lakes must keep his promise, two brothers, the means are also extraordinary, can you take me?"
Wangchen shook his head and said: "This matter is extraordinary, we don't know what the specific cause is, we only know that there is an inexplicable danger ahead, you still don't go, it's not too late to wait for our news." ”
Gao Wei thought about it, and had no choice but to respond: "Okay, I'll wait for you at the foot of the mountain." He also knew in his heart that the methods of this immortal family were already extraordinary, and even they were worried, so he couldn't participate in anything as a mortal.
The three of them said goodbye, and then parted ways. Before parting, Wangchen handed over the reins in his hand to Gao Wei, so that this spirit horse could protect Gao Wei thoroughly, Chu Xunyu and Wangchen restrained their breath and went up the river to find the traces of the cup carving.
The two of them walked along the winding path along the way, up the river, and walked for nearly an hour, Chu Xunyu said: "Senior, you have gone to the depths. If you still can't find it, you can directly use the Taoist method to search for this monster. ”
Wangchen shook his head and said: "No, it is still unknown whether there is a connection between this monster and that demonic energy, in case of using a technique, it is inevitable that the grass will startle the snake, so it is better to inspect carefully." ”
Chu Xunyu listened, thought about it, and it was not wrong, so he had to look for it slowly. After a while, as far as the eye could see, I could already see black smoke rising from the mountains in front of me, and people were surging. It turned out that in the near future, the veins of the ore would be found, and those people were the coolies who opened the mines for the owner.
The two of them looked around, in the crowd, but also alive, it didn't seem like there were monsters to do strange, the two were quite surprised, and were about to change directions to find, suddenly, heard a baby's cry floating in the air, echoing in this quiet mountain forest. The two laughed at each other, and Chu Xunyu laughed: "It's really hard to find a place to break through the iron shoes, and it doesn't take any effort to get there." ”
Wangchen chuckled: "It's okay, He's changed the destiny of heaven like this, this demon should be punished." After that, he looked for it, and after a while, he saw the other side of the river, there was no grass, all of them were strange rocks and messy, it seemed that this side was a place where monsters haunted, and the two looked around by the river. Soon, a sculpture slowly floated out of the water, but this eagle had horns on its head, its whole body was black, and its eyes were fierce, staring at the two of them. It is in response to the record in the book that "the mountain of Luwu has no grass and trees on it, and there are many gold stones." The water of Zegen comes out, and the south flows into the pouring water. The water has a beast, the name is called the Gu eagle, its shape is like a carving and has horns, its sound is like the voice of a baby, it is a cannibal"
The two of them restrained their breath, no different from ordinary people, the cup carving was not in a hurry, just stared at the two of them silently, "Huh?" Chu Xunyu was slightly stunned, "This cup carving is small, not as huge as imagined." ”
Wangchen smiled and said: "This is just a cup carving young beast, it has not yet taken shape, I saw one back then, but it is huge and has a strange personality." ”
"That's the case," Chu Xunyu breathed a cold sigh, "I have to use force, catch it, and find out the facts." ”
After saying that, he was about to make a move, and the little cup eagle was also impatient, and finally roared, like a baby crying, and rushed along the waterway, opening his mouth, only to see a mouth full of spikes of teeth, which was surprising.
Looking at the dust and looking at it, laughing but not speaking, Chu Xunyu only raised his fingers lightly, and a cyan sword qi shot out along his fingers, shooting out, just hitting the oncoming cup carving, that cup carving was just a young beast, how could it block Chu Xunyu's fierce sword qi?
I saw a splash of water, and the eagle roared again and again, leaving a burst of blood floating on the water, and then fled into the water. As soon as the two of them saw it, how could they make it escape, and hurriedly flew to catch up, Chu Xunyu raised his finger again, and a sword qi flew in the air, just hitting the back of the cup carving, the cup carving couldn't bear the pain, and suddenly the air was filled with the sound of a baby crying, and it fluttered on the water.
The two of them chased after it, and were about to take it down, when suddenly, a vague divine consciousness spread in the air, and snorted coldly. The two of them looked back, but there was not the slightest trace in the air, and when they looked back, the cup of sculpture was completely lifeless, floating on the water and dead.
Chu Xunyu said coldly: "This demon actually cut off the vitality of this cup carving, it seems that this monster must be raised by him, knowing that the matter was revealed, he killed himself and cut off the clues, I can only hate letting him run fast just now, and I won't have time to keep up with the trace." ”
"Hehe, Xiaoyou don't have to worry too much, the person just now came quickly, but it is difficult to escape my skill of observing the sky and the earth, I just took advantage of the situation, and this person hid in the group of mines in front. As he spoke, he pointed to the veins in the mountains ahead.
When Chu Xunyu heard it, he secretly admired that Tianji Pavilion was really exquisite, and then the two of them did not delay, and immediately went to the mineral vein, since they were known by that person, the two of them did not need to hide their figures, they shrank thousands of miles, and came in an instant.
When they came to the mouth of the mine, the two of them were quite surprised, it turned out that this vein had dug out countless holes for mining, twisting and turning, staggering down each other, I don't know how deep it was, knowing that the person was in the land under his feet just now, but he didn't know where to start. The construction site is full of workers and coolies coming and going, if there is no one in normal times, it is much simpler, just use the great magic power to blast the ground open, go straight down, but there are many mortals here, how can they cast such a spell? Slaughtering living beings and killing innocent people indiscriminately, the two of them will never do it.
Seeing all this, Wangchen frowned, looked around, and found that there was an old man not far away, who had set up a stall serving tea, so he walked over and asked, "Old man, can I ask you about something?"
The old man was smoking a dry cigarette, and suddenly someone asked, and he couldn't help but look up, but seeing that the two of them were behaving and looking decent, he had a good feeling for no reason, sighed lightly, and nodded: "Say." ”
"What strange things have happened in this vein lately?" asked Wangchen.
"Strange thing? Not really," replied the old man, shaking his head after a moment's thought.
Chu Xunyu took a step forward and said, "No matter what it is, big or small things can be, think about it carefully." ”
The old man squinted his eyes, took two puffs of his cigarette, and suddenly said: "The only thing is that a jade mine was mined a few days ago, and a lot was dug at the beginning, but when I dug it, I couldn't dig it." ”
"Oh, why can't you dig it?" Wangchen asked with interest.
"That's right," the old man knocked on the cigarette stick, and said: "Not long after digging, there is a stone wall blocked, no matter how you blow it up with fire, you can't blow it up, so you have to change the direction, and you can continue to dig, but you can't dig it for long, and you also hit a stone wall, it's the same, no matter how you dig it, you can't dig it, and so on, every few times, there is a stone wall that can't be dug up, it seems that the stone here is really hard." ”
As soon as the two of them heard it, it seemed that the matter had become clear, this so-called hard stone seemed to be the hiding place of that person, but the means were indeed not very clever, and it was okay to hide among mortals, but the strategy of using hard stones to block the way was not very good in the cultivation realm.
After saying that, the two of them said goodbye, and when they came not far away, they saw a person who looked like a supervisor, supervising everyone's work, and the two approached, Chu Xunyu asked, "Friend, I'm tired of asking you something." ”
The foreman was impatient with everyone, and when someone asked, he was naturally even more unhappy in his heart, and reluctantly looked back, but saw two people in front of him, one of them had an ordinary appearance, his eyes were clear and bright, and he never got tired of looking at it for a long time. The other person has a face like a moon, eyes like a star, white clothes fluttering, and an extraordinary bearing. couldn't help but be surprised, expecting that the two of them were unusual, so he immediately replied: "The two of you have something to say." ”
"That's good, that's right. Chu Xunyu said, "We want to go down to the jade vein, see the hard stone wall they rumored, and hope that the old brother will be accommodating." ”
The foreman couldn't help frowning: "This ...... It's not very easy to do, in the construction site, how can idlers be allowed to enter, besides, what is so beautiful about this hard stone, there is no need. ”
Chu Xunyu listened, and was not in a hurry, touched his right hand, took out a silver ingot from his arms, stuffed it in the foreman's hand, took two steps forward, and whispered: "I hope my brother will be accommodating, my son-in-law, from Yingtian, has never seen much of the world, I heard that it was fun here, I wanted to come and see, and I hope to be accommodating." With that, he gently looked at the dust with his hand.
Wangchen stood with his hands in his hands, still looking at it with a smile, although Chu Xunyu's voice was small, how could he hide himself? The expression on his face remained unchanged, but in his heart, he was speechless for a while, okay, I have become a pompous boy who eats, drinks and has fun, and does not understand the world.
The foreman took the silver and immediately agreed with a smile: "Okay, the prince is also from the royal capital, and if you want to see rare things, I will take you there." ”
After that, he picked up a mining lamp and walked to a hole, Chu Xunyu turned around and winked at Wangchen, and then followed the foreman, Wangchen pursed the corners of his mouth helplessly.
Entering the winding tunnel, under countless forks, has gone deeper and deeper, the whole tunnel is also more profound, the foreman holds the mining lamp, but there is no impatience at all, it seems that the road is also familiar, the mine is full of unpleasant smell, the workers around them carry baskets, look at them with numb eyes, and then continue to move forward.
After a while, I arrived at the place where there was the hard stone in the legend, and when I saw the so-called hard stone, both of them laughed, what a hard stone, it was clearly just a kind of illusion to obstruct the eyes, this is simply the entrance to a cave, and a boulder was transformed, which did not exist in the first place, of course, no matter how you use zha medicine to blow it up, it can't be exploded, not to mention that looking at this cover-up method, it is indeed not good, the breath of the person inside is already clearly visible, and it is estimated that it is also a small character who does not enter the stream.
Seeing this, Chu Xunyu whispered to the foreman: "You go and evacuate the people outside, I'm afraid there are monsters here." With that, he stretched out his hand, and a flame appeared out of thin air, intending to scare the foreman and let him go out to evacuate everyone.
But how did this foreman, a mortal, ever see this? At that moment, he screamed: "Oh, Mom, there are really monsters." After speaking, he carried the miner's lamp, used his hands and feet together, and ran towards the exit of the mine, shouting loudly as he ran all the way: "There are monsters, there are monsters...... I really don't know if I believe Chu Xunyu, or if I think Wangchen himself is a monster. Suddenly, there was a big chaos in the mine, and people were surging, running outside the cave.
At this time, Chu Xunyu was taken aback, but he didn't expect that this person's city government was too shallow, causing such a big commotion, although he wanted to drive out all the mortals here, the purpose was achieved, but it was not achieved in this way. Now Wangchen couldn't hold back any longer, laughed, waved his long sleeves, and suddenly the hard stone was gone, the entrance of the cave appeared, and he pulled Chu Xunyu and flew all the way in......
