Chapter 104: The Old Man on Crutches

Thanks to the blessing of this fire spirit, Jiang Lili and Cheng Ru had a rare good night's sleep, and after waking up, they only felt energetic, not at all as sore as they had been a few days ago. When the two jumped on the bamboo raft, Cheng Ru was looking at this mountain rock and was reluctant to give up, and suddenly said: "Why don't we take this mountain stone to the hidden bag, and then release it at night to sleep well?"

Jiang Lili was a little moved, but the Yin envoy waved his hand again and again: "No, how can this be made? Let's not talk about whether your hiding bag is so big, just talk about the objects that can be included in the hiding bag need to be lifted by you, otherwise, if someone gets a hidden bag that can fit into the size of a heaven and earth, wouldn't even someone else's sect be able to steal it unknowingly?" Besides, not to mention that after this mountain rock is watered by this cold black water, it will be roasted into lava by the spirit of fire in an instant, and your treasure bag will be destroyed at that time. ”

Cheng Ru sighed secretly, "I didn't think it before, but now I know how rare it is to get a good night's sleep." Saying that, Cheng Ru stared at Jiang Lili with great resentment: "In the past, you always woke me up in the early morning, but now when I look at it, I know that I don't know how much I have suffered and how many blessings I have lost!"

Jiang Lili pursed his lips, "After you die, it's time to call you to sleep!"

The Yin envoy grinned, "That's not necessarily, maybe this guy has a deep obsession in his heart, and after he died, he turned into a ghost, and he couldn't close his eyes when he wanted to sleep!"

The bamboo raft slowly moved forward, and after listening to the words of the Yin Envoy, Cheng Ru suddenly asked, "If you want to sleep, you can't close your eyes, don't ghosts need to sleep?"

The Yin envoy was also bored, and actually fell from the sky and sat on the bamboo raft, "It can't be said that although we ghosts really don't need to sleep, but they are just a touch of obsession and a wisp of remnants of soul at the beginning, and they also need to restore their spirits. We don't have to sleep, we meditate. ”

"Meditation, I know this!" Cheng Ru said loudly: "It's nothing more than a few old monks sitting on a futon with wooden fish in their hands, and Mommy Mommy and Mommy coaxing them reading something that others can't hear clearly!"

The Yin Envoy's face was slightly embarrassed, but he also nodded, "It's not wrong to say that, it's just that these monks rely on meditation to temper their minds, and our ghost cultivation is more about cultivation!"

Cheng Ru sighed, "So that's the truth, but can't you close your eyes when you meditate?"

Yin makes blinking.

"If I can close it, why do you say that if I die and turn into a ghost, I can't close my eyes if I want to sleep?"

The corners of Yin's mouth twitched, and sure enough, he couldn't say a few good words with Cheng. Immediately rose into the sky, pointing in one direction and saying, "This side!"

After walking for about half a day, he only felt that if the oars in his hand were too strong, they would touch the mud at the bottom of the water, and Jiang Lili wondered if he was about to get out of this black water and enter the central area that the Yin envoy said?

Just thinking about it, I intuitively felt that the bamboo raft suddenly stagnated, and no matter how much I rowed, I couldn't see the slightest movement. He cautiously walked up to the front of the bamboo raft, and after a closer look, it turned out that the bamboo raft had touched the shore.

In front of this was a large piece of land, on which were not too dense with weeds, all showing the color of the plants and trees at the beginning of autumn. Cheng Ru took the oars in his hand and tested it on the shore, and the soil on the shore was indeed not hard, it was still soft and abnormal.

When I looked around carefully, I saw that the black water around me was no longer boundless, and the black water had been divided into several rivers by several pieces of land, and it felt as if it had sailed from the depths of the sea into the rivers that poured into the sea.

"The ground is still inconvenient to walk on, so let's go ahead in that narrow body of water for the time being, and we should be able to go ashore not far ahead." ”

The bamboo raft is slowly moving forward in the gap between the land and the land, and a few insects jump up on the grass and trees on the shore on both sides from time to time, so that it looks like a flat boat in the south of the Yangtze River and walks slowly, but now it is a bamboo raft, the water under the feet is black water, and the shore of the reeds that should be overgrown is only sparse withered grass, and the insects that jump up are all brightly colored, which is highly poisonous!

Today's miasma is still thick, and if the color of this miasma is changed to white, it will be more comfortable in Chengru's heart. Turning his head to look at the two banks, he saw a lizard with black water flowing from the corner of his mouth slowly coming out of the wet soil, and saw a poisonous snake not far away spitting out a letter and looking at his group very unpleasantly, and then looking at all kinds of strange-shaped insects jumping up in the grass, Cheng Ru finally couldn't help but say: "Hey, Jiang Lili, didn't that Nibao give you a Gu that can repel insects?"

Before Jiang Lili could reply, a small snake that was only an inch long suddenly rushed towards Cheng Ruyi.

Jiang Lili's eyes were quick, and with a wave of the tiger knife in his hand, he saw that the little snake turned into two pieces, its tail fell into the black water and was eaten up in an instant, and its head fell on the bamboo raft, still bounced restlessly on the bamboo raft, and it was extremely vicious and wantonly sprayed venom, and when it landed on the bamboo raft, I only heard a very heavy clang, and I saw a bamboo instantly corroded a big hole.

Kicking the snake's head into the water, Jiang Lili thought that now that he had entered the hinterland of this black water pool, he must be able to reach the Cuibi Creek in two or three days if there was no accident. Now there are many poisonous insects around, and there is such a thing that almost didn't make Cheng so stupid, too

It's time to be able to use it.

Just as he was taking out the porcelain bottle that Nibao had sent over, Jiang Lili remembered that in addition to the Gu that could poison others, Nibao didn't seem to have taught herself how to use the other two Gus!

Thinking about taking out the white Gu now, he opened the bottle, and the white Gu worm had only just seen the air, so it flew out of the porcelain bottle, spread its wings, and landed on Jiang Lili's shoulder.

I saw that the white Gu worm slowly emitted white smoke and odor towards the surroundings, and even slightly reduced the fishy smell of the miasma. The white smoke slowly spread, with Jiang Lili as the center, covering a distance of dozens of steps, and the surrounding poisonous insects smelled the white smoke and all went into the dirt, only a few poisonous snakes and a few lizards did not rush to this smoke, but they also seemed to be extremely disgusted, and after staring at Jiang Lili for a long time, they also turned around and crawled out of the smoke-shrouded range.

Cheng Ru finally relaxed, patted his chest, and said that the Gu worm given by Nibao was really a good thing, and said that it was no wonder that he hadn't seen Nibao in the past few days since he left the village, and he had concentrated on refining Gu for us.

Compared to the endless black water "ocean", the road in this black water "river" is much more complicated, because the river is divided by the land into a winding path, so the bamboo raft has to follow the waterway in a circle, and time is delayed in this circle.

It's dark in an instant, it's white in an instant.

He also invited the Yin envoy to drag the raft ashore with Cheng Ru and Jiang Lili, because of the existence of this insect repellent Gu, Cheng Ru is sleep at ease this night, but the moisture that slowly evaporated from the ground was extremely uncomfortable, even if there was a bonfire, it was difficult to avoid.

On the second day, the bamboo raft was still slowly moving ahead, and after killing a few lizards and poisonous snakes that rushed forward without knowing whether they were alive or dead, the envoy stopped in front of the two, "The river ahead is narrower and more crooked, if it is still waterway, I don't know how long it will be delayed!"

Jiang Lili stopped the bamboo raft and asked, "But can you walk on the land here?"

"It's not good here, you can go ashore a little further ashore, but you still have to be careful when the time comes, there are still many swamps covered by weeds on this land, and you won't be able to save you if you step into it!"

It didn't take long for the wide bamboo raft made for the two of them to settle down without sinking, so it was difficult to travel in this narrow black water basin, so the bamboo raft stopped along the shore, Jiang Lili picked up the oars and tried it on the shore, and found that the soil was really much harder, so he said to Cheng: "Let's go ashore here now." ”

Cheng Ru was a little hesitant, but he had seen the danger of this mud, "Can you walk here? What if I step on it and sink directly? Let's drive the bamboo raft for a while, safety first, isn't it?"

As soon as Cheng Ru's words fell, Jiang Lili stepped directly on the shore with one foot, and then raised the other foot, and the whole person was already standing on the dirt. I only felt that my feet were sinking slightly, although it was still a little dangerous, but it was not so dangerous that it was impossible to stand at all.

"It's done, there's less ink! Why don't you come up quickly? I'm going to collect this raft later!"

Cheng Ru responded again and again, and after seeing Jiang Lili standing on this shore in a good manner, he was a little less guarded, and slowly climbed to the shore on all fours, Cheng Ru smiled, "Grandma, can you really leave?"

After putting the bamboo raft and two inferior oars into the treasure bag, Jiang Lili took out another bamboo pole, cut it into two suitable sections, and handed one to Cheng Rusi. Inevitably standing in place for too long caused his feet to sink into the mud, Jiang Lili explored the path with a bamboo pole, and then carefully took two steps forward before asking the Yin envoy, "Where should we go now?"

"It's right in front of you!" replied the Yin Envoy.

Jiang Lili snorted and glanced at Cheng Rus, "Don't be stunned, let's go!"

Cheng Ru looked at a poisonous scorpion in the distance, and was a little panicked in his heart, and after listening to Jiang Lili's words, he hurriedly followed Jiang Lili's pace.

"If I go ahead, you will follow me behind, do you know?" Jiang Lili said to Cheng Rushi, "You just pay attention to your feet, just step on my footprints!"

Cheng Ru nodded again and again, but after walking cautiously for a while, he found that there was not much danger except for the sinking momentum that had just landed, and Cheng Ruye's mind also let go.

Originally, Cheng Ru was not the kind of person who followed the rules, but at this time, he completely forgot Jiang Lili's reminder, raised his head and looked around.

There are many weeds around, but there are also a lot of trees, which makes this place much more lively than the endless black water. Cheng Ru was looking around, but accidentally tripped over an inconspicuous vine, and the whole person fell to the ground in unison.

There wasn't much of a sound, just a "fluttering" sound of water.

Jiang Lili turned his head and looked at Cheng Ruis angrily, "What are you thinking about?

Cheng Ru got up cautiously, spit a few mouthfuls of spit, and Cheng Ruyi's face, hands, and body were slowly covered with fishy mud.

Jiang Lili was slightly disgusted, and only threw a clean towel to Cheng Ru is two steps away from Cheng Ru is slightly.

Cheng Ru hurriedly took it, wiped his face clean, and took off the muddy coat

He complained, "What kind of stuff is this? It stinks!"

"Stinky, if there happens to be a hidden poisonous scorpion underneath, or an inconspicuous swamp, you're really going to die!" Jiang Lili said sarcastically in a cold voice, and then took out the coat of opinion and hurriedly threw it to Cheng Rusi, "Put on your clothes and leave!

Cheng Ru took the clothes and put them on, and while following Jiang Lili's steps, he chattered endlessly: "This can't be blamed on me, no, who knew that there was a vine under my feet! That's right, it's to blame this vine for being inconspicuous, I was originally very careful about the surrounding terrain, If it weren't for the inconspicuous growth of this vine, how would I... Yikes!"

Jiang Lili turned his head, only to see Cheng Ru slowly lifting his feet from the mud covered by grass with cold air.

"What the hell is this!" Cheng Ru complained loudly, "It's this, Lao Tzu doesn't want to come again for the rest of his life!"

The Yin Envoy looked amused, and interjected: "If you accidentally die here, you will sleep here for the rest of your life!"

"Don't lecture him, he doesn't have any memory!" Jiang Lili didn't bother to pay attention to Cheng Ruo, and walked forward with a bamboo pole, "If you don't suffer a big loss, he doesn't know how to be careful!"

Cheng Ru followed crookedly, "Where do I not have a long memory? Do you see that I have tripped over the vines at this time? I haven't been able to step into the mud again!"

The Yin Envoy sarcastically said, "What you said makes sense, but the mud still doesn't work." If that mud is a swamp, you will never be swallowed by a swamp again in your life, this is truly foolproof!"

"It's done, don't quarrel!" Jiang Lili scolded coldly: "How far is Cuibi Creek from here?"

The Yin Envoy calculated, "At your current speed, it's probably only one day!"

Glancing at a lizard not far away that was spitting out a letter at him, Jiang Lili waved a knife casually, and a knife qi cut the lizard in half, snorted disdainfully, and said: "Cuibi Creek, Cui Bixi, what does this Cui Bixi look like?

The Yin envoy smiled and bought a pass, "Don't you know when you see it?"

Jiang Lili has never liked this kind of talk, but at this time, most of her mind was paying attention to her feet, so she didn't bother to pay attention to the Yin envoy, so she only replied.

Cheng Ru still refused to be quiet at this time, and suddenly asked, "Why do you say this Cuibi Creek is called Cui Bi Creek? Who gave it this name?"

Saying that, Cheng Ru's heart was excited, he looked up at the Yin Envoy and asked: "How do you know that the name of the Cuibi Creek is called Cuibi Creek, you didn't even know the name of the Black Water Pool, so you just called it the swamp jungle, but where did you know the name of the creek? Could it be that you met someone in this Black Water Pool? He told you?"

Cheng Ru can always take into account things that others haven't considered at all, and it makes a lot of damn sense!

After hearing Cheng Ru's words, Jiang Lili also felt that this matter was quite strange, staring at the back of the Yin Envoy and being silent.

The Yin envoy replied: "Lao Tzu himself gave it a name?"

Cheng Ru looked incredulous.

The Yin envoy had no choice but to reply: "When I first came to this black pool through that passage when I was a little ghost of the third mountain, I met a person, and that person told me the name of this Cui Bi Xi. ”

Jiang Lili frowned, "What person?"

"I don't know the man's name, but I know that the man is a rickety old man with a broken leg and a cane in his hand, and I don't know anything else." Oh, by the way, that man seems to be a demon cultivator!"

"Demon cultivator?" Jiang Lili squinted his eyes and muttered for a long time, and then said, "You really don't remember that person's name?"

The Yin Envoy smiled bitterly, "It's been hundreds of years, even if he might have given me his name, I forgot." But I remember he didn't warn him. ”

Cheng Ru pouted, "Then how did you know that he was a demon?"

"He himself has a mouth the size of a wall, well, no, no, no, I'm afraid it's much bigger than the wall! Maybe much bigger, anyway, he opened his mouth and showed me a closer look, isn't that a demon? I have never seen such a big mouth anyway!"

"Do you remember this, hundreds of years ago!" Cheng Ru said suspiciously.

"I was so scared at that time, why can't I remember?"

"Then why didn't he kill you casually for demon cultivation?"

"How do I know? I have never guessed the thoughts of the big man, but now that I think about it, maybe it is because it seems that I am a little ghost of the third mountain, so he is too lazy to cut me!"

As he spoke, the Yin Envoy remembered the scene when he first accidentally ran to the Emerald Creek hundreds of years ago.

I saw a rickety old man with a broken leg and a cane turned to look at him, and said with a smile: "Little ghost, where are you from? Oh, by the way, I just ate something and got stuck between my teeth, you come and see if I can pull it out, it's so uncomfortable!"

As he spoke, the old man opened his big mouth, and Qi Qi stopped the sky above the Yin Envoy's head!

I saw a dragon's tail stuck between the teeth.
