Chapter 26: Killing the Evil Slave Trapped in Chang'an
The next day, early in the morning.
One man and two beasts roasted and ate the two wolf corpses left over from last night, and the remaining ones were cut into small pieces, kept as dry food for later use, and everything was packed up before they were ready to go on the road.
Seeing that Qi Feibai was injured and had no mount, the yellow monkey said: "This west is tens of thousands of miles away from Xiniu Hezhou, but why doesn't Brother Qi have a mount, this mountain is high and the road is far away, but when can he get to Xiniu Hezhou?"
Being asked by the yellow monkey like this, Qi Feibai sighed a little embarrassed.
"Why is Brother Qi sighing?"
Qi Feibai explained: "It's not a secret, there is a good horse in Xiayuan, but he can travel 800 miles a day, but yesterday he was caught in the wolves, and the evil animal was frightened, broke free from the reins, and didn't know where to run." ”
The yellow monkey suddenly said: "So that's the case, even so, Brother Qi is injured, so he will give up his mount to Brother Qi, and Brother Qi will ride a leopard and walk below." ”
Qi Feibai was stunned, he only knew that this leopard obeyed the orders of the yellow monkey, but he didn't expect that this leopard would be the yellow monkey's mount.
I didn't expect the yellow monkey to be so generous, Qi Feibai waved his hand again and again: "How can this be made." ”
"Brother Qi, don't be polite, if you meet a tiger and leopard again on the road ahead, you will surrender one more head in the next one. The yellow monkey said heroically.
The yellow monkey and Qi Feibai were polite, and at this time, the leopard snorted very unhappily.
"What, do you have an opinion?" asked the yellow monkey coldly.
"No... No, I just had a sudden discomfort in my nose. ”
"Hmph, if you have an opinion, just mention it. The yellow monkey's voice was as cold as the frost of the wax moon.
"No... No. Seeing that the yellow monkey was displeased, the leopard was suddenly silent.
"Since the leopard has no opinion, Brother Qi, you don't have to shirk it, isn't it a man's doing? ”
"Since this is the case, then it is better to be respectful than to obey the order, and thank Brother Monkey and Brother Leopard first. ”
Qi Feibai arched his hand, and after speaking, he turned over the leopard.
"Brother Qi, how is this mount?" asked the yellow monkey with some smugness.
"He is very brave, but he is a little panicked, and without a saddle and reins, I am afraid that it will be difficult for Brother Leopard to run steadily. ”
"Uh... No wonder I can't sit still every time the leopard runs, it turns out that the saddle and reins are missing. The yellow monkey said with some embarrassment.
"It's okay, stay in front of you and buy a pair of saddle reins. ”
"Then there is Brother Lao Qi, in this case, let's hurry up. ”
With that, the yellow monkey pestled the leopard's ass with a stick.
The leopard was in pain, and rushed forward with a "whoosh", almost throwing Qi Feibai off, and the frightened Qi Feibai hurriedly leaned over and grabbed the leopard's fur.
Brother Qi sat firmly. ”
The yellow monkey shouted, jumped up, and followed the leopard closely.
After traveling for more than 200 miles, it was close to noon that the man and the beast found a place with a water source to rest.
Qi Feibai's bookcase carried a lot of bamboo slips, clothes, and elixirs picked on the road.
After eating and drinking, Qi Feibai fried some herbs and took them.
Then he took out the bamboo slips from the bookcase and taught the yellow monkey and the leopard to read.
The yellow monkey is talented and studious, Qi Feibai just read it once, and he has memorized it firmly.
Unexpectedly, the yellow monkey had an unforgettable talent, which really surprised Qi Feibai.
On the contrary, it is the leopard, with average qualifications, but lazy, and can't teach, and after teaching it several times, the leopard is really bored and simply doesn't learn.
Qi Feibai was also happy to relax and didn't force it.
The yellow monkey held the bamboo slip, read it carefully, and when he encountered something incomprehensible, he humbly asked Qi Feibai for advice.
Qi Feibai has to answer all questions, but he is not stingy at all.
In just one afternoon, the yellow monkey memorized the words of a bamboo slip backwards.
The yellow monkey is so smart, let alone a monkey, it is a human being, Qi Feibai has never seen such a smart person in his life, and he was shocked for a while.
After resting for an hour, one man and two beasts continued westward.
Encountering some precious herbs along the way, Qi Feibai told the yellow monkey that he picked it easily, and explained the use of various precious herbs by the way, which made the yellow monkey benefit a lot and was pleasantly surprised.
Under Qi Feibai's guidance, he picked a lot of Ganoderma lucidum fairy grass and ginseng spirit fruit.
I thought that there would be a scholar of the human race to teach words, but I didn't expect that Qi Feibai not only read poetry and books, but also proficient in pharmacology, which was an unexpected joy for the yellow monkey.
On the way, I encountered some small beasts and yellow monkeys, so I killed them and kept them for dinner.
It was only about a hundred miles along the way, but he did not encounter any large beasts, and only caught a few pheasants, hares, and a fox.
"Brother Leopard, there is a hundred-year-old Ganoderma lucidum in front of you, and you can walk slowly. ”
In a hurry, Qi Feibai pulled the hair on the leopard's neck and said hurriedly.
"Then I said, don't pull the fur on my neck next time, if this hair is bald, it will not look good, and it will not grow again. The leopard muttered, slowing down.
Qi Fei smiled apologetically and said, "I'm sorry." ”
Huang Monkey smiled: "Brother Qi, don't pay attention to him. ”
Qi Feibai said with a smile: "What Brother Leopard said is reasonable, if the hair on his neck is bald, it will really affect the appearance." ”
While talking and laughing, the group had come to the bottom of the pearl of Lingzhi.
Qi Feibai said: "Brother Monkey, this thing is commonly known as 'immortal medicine', although it cannot be truly immortal, it has the effect of prolonging life, and eating it is beneficial to future cultivation." ”
The yellow monkey was overjoyed when he heard this, and hurriedly climbed the cliff to pick it.
On the cliff of more than three zhang, the yellow monkey has picked the hundred-year-old Ganoderma lucidum in a few ups and downs.
The figure fell, and the yellow monkey asked, "Brother Qi, let's see what the quality of this 'immortal medicine' is?"
Qi Feibai looked at the lilac Ganoderma lucidum in the yellow monkey's hand, first surprised, and then regretted: "This Lingzhi is Ziyanzhi, judging by its quality, it should be less than a hundred years, but unfortunately! If this Lingzhi can grow the year before, it will be the best, but now this year is not enough, it can only be regarded as a middle and lower grade." ”
Hearing this, the yellow monkey was a little disappointed: "It turned out to be just a middle-grade elixir." ”
"Brother Monkey don't have to be disappointed, it is a chance to get this elixir here, although this purple Yanzhi is only a middle and lower grade, it is also a rare medicine, I will eat it, it will be of great benefit. ”
"Brother Qi is right, let's continue on our way. ”
Walking all the way, hunting animals, collecting medicine, walking and stopping, and walking for more than 200 miles, it was getting late.
At sunset, they found a water source, drank some water, filled some water for later use, and then found a place to rest by the river.
The prey they hunted along the way was enough to eat, the yellow monkeys skillfully skinned and washed it, and the leopards went to pick up some hay and firewood.
The yellow monkey was roasting pheasants, hares, foxes and other game, and on the other side, Qi Feibai started another stove and boiled a large pot of elixirs picked along the way.
Soon, the aroma of roasted meat and the aroma of boiling soup spread.
The yellow monkey and Qi Feibai each kept a chicken, and the rest of the barbecue was thrown to the leopard, who happily took a skewer of barbecue in his mouth and ran to the side to feast.
After eating the barbecue, you have to share the elixir.
Qi Feibai said: "Although this pot of elixir is not of the highest grade, it is also extremely rare. After Brother Monkey and Brother Leopard take it, there should be some spiritual power in their bodies, and this spiritual power is the foundation of cultivating immortals, so don't waste it. And let the two of them first teach a set of mental methods of breathing, and the two of them will practice according to the mental method after taking the elixir. ”
"So, there is Brother Lao Qi!" Hearing this, the yellow monkey was pleasantly surprised, and hurriedly got up and saluted.
The leopard was also excited, and thanked him again and again.
