followed the great prince out of the city, and walked briskly for less than an hour, and the terrain gradually rose.

A bluestone road leads straight into the mountain. Then the prince ordered the guards to wait in place, and took Chen Ke up the stairs.

The mountain road is winding, the ancient trees are forested, and the scenery of Qingcheng Mountain and Cuiwei Mountain is very different. The trees are dark and dark, and beneath them are colorful nameless insects flying back and forth. There are also many flowers and plants dotted around. The whole forest is like a sleeping baby, which is quiet and serene, but it makes you feel that it is alive.

"Since the old lady returned to this Qingcheng Mountain more than 2,000 years ago, I have not allowed the trees on the mountain to be cut down in all dynasties. Therefore, many of the ancient cypress camphor ficus here are more than 1,000 years old. The officials all felt that this place was too quiet, and they were reluctant to come, let alone ......" Before the prince who led the way in front finished speaking, Chen Ke felt that someone was watching them.

Tilting his head suddenly, he vaguely saw a woman's face appear behind a large banyan tree, and then disappeared.

"Not to mention the mountain ghosts. Shizi looked at the place where there was movement and smiled.

"Mountain ghosts?" Chen Ke asked suspiciously, and Da Shizi didn't seem to be afraid of this so-called ghost.

"Yes, it's a mountain ghost. Da Shizi smiled and said, "It was the concubine who took pity on those girls who died in vain and took in their souls." These female ghosts usually lodge on the ancient wood beasts in the mountains and wait to enter the netherworld, which looks quite scary. ”

"Well, they're just curious. As long as you don't take the initiative to provoke them, you don't have to worry about any danger. ”

"I see. Although Da Shizi explained, Chen Ke still felt that there were so many pairs of eyes watching him in the forest, which made him feel very uncomfortable.

The mountains and forests are getting denser and denser. I don't know when, a few small bark lanterns appeared on the side of the path. There are huge fireflies that gather and sparkle on their own, like natural street lamps.

Slowly going up, the path became wider and wider, and at last the two of them seemed to be walking under the steps of a large house. It's just that this step is based on bluestone, and it is covered with moss from tree roots, which looks old and full of natural atmosphere.

Halfway up the steps, Chen Ke saw a big tree on the side, which was at least dozens of hugs thick and not high, stretched out a thick branch.

At the end of the branch, there is a five-foot bud. As the branch approached the steps, it slowly opened, revealing a flower demon with only half a body inside. The flower demon's skirt was like flower petals, her hair and face were all colorful, and she was carrying a firefly lantern in her cyan-colored hand.

"Madame has an order, don't see any outsiders, wait and ask the prince to wait in front of the guest desk. The flower demon bowed to the great prince, and the silkworm letter also returned the salute.

After saying that, the branches swayed slowly, and the flower demon stood in front of the two, as if leading the way.

The steps became wider and wider, and Chen Ke saw a wooden palace orchid platform appear in front of him. The palace has no walls, and is surrounded by green gauze tents, and there seems to be a woman lying in it.

It's just that the view is blocked by the light veil, and only her vague figure can be seen. She seems to be wearing a very large headdress, and her figure lying horizontally is undulating, looking very plump and charming.

"You're here?" a slightly mature, but very soft female voice came from the stage.

The eldest prince motioned for Chen Ke to wait in front of the steps, and then leaned over to bow.

"Erchen, greetings to the ancestor Jin An Wanfu. ”

"Okay, what's the matter, let's talk about it quickly. The lady said, and the eldest prince got up and walked in.

Chen Ke sat on the steps bored, and Da Shizi had been talking to Madame Hua Rui since he entered. It's just that they spoke very quietly, or they were imposed, and Chen Ke couldn't hear what they were saying for a long time.

In the dense forest in the distance, a few more pairs of dark and deep eyes suddenly appeared, glowing with a faint fluorescence, looking at Chen Ke.

Chen Ke also noticed these eyes, and he felt a little hairy.

Suddenly, a huge white-fronted tiger jumped out of the woods, and a naked woman sat on its side.

And then there were a few other leopards, green snakes, and the like. He also ran out. On their bodies, without exception, they all carry a young girl.

The women were undressed, and some of them were covered in strange patterns. The body is also translucent, and you can vaguely see the trees and flowers behind it.

The mountain ghosts rode fierce beasts and slowly approached Chen Ke. Chen Ke couldn't help but feel a little flustered when he saw that there was no one around him. Although the figures of these women are very eye-catching, this scene is also a little too weird.

"Woohoo. The big tiger that approached licked Chen Ke's cheek fiercely with his tongue, making his face full of saliva. The nearest female mountain ghost is also next to the red panda, like a puppy, sniffing around.

Of course, the red panda doesn't like this way of greeting and reluctantly shrinks its body.

"Uh. Chen Ke didn't expect that this mountain ghost would have the same mind as a child beast, unable to speak, and full of curiosity. A few bold female ghosts had already stepped forward and began to touch the stone horns of Chen Ke's armor. The big tiger just now was even more excessive, it actually opened its big mouth and gently bit Chen Ke's fingers, as if it wanted to taste what it tasted like.

Chen Ke had no choice but to release his demonic energy, wanting to scare off this big cat that was biting things. The tiger was startled, and immediately jumped to the side and roared at Chen Ke in a low voice. And the mountain ghosts were also alert, and retreated a few steps away, like wild beasts, opening their small mouths, revealing their sharp teeth, and making all kinds of grimaces at Chen Ke.

Just when Chen Ke didn't know how to save the relationship with the mountain ghosts, the great prince had already walked out. When the mountain ghosts saw Shizi and the flower demon coming out, they jumped on the tiger and leopard and ran into the woods.

"Mountain ghosts are amorous, these girls have never seen a man, and they are naturally attracted to yang energy, don't be surprised. Da Shizi looked at Chen Ke, who was about to lie on the steps on his back in order to avoid the mountain ghost who was sniffing and licking just now, and said with a helpless smile.

"However, if an ordinary man is entangled by these ignorant mountain ghosts, he will either be sucked away from his yang energy, or he will accidentally offend the beast and be attacked. That's why the world doesn't like them very much. As he said this, Shizi handed over a brocade hand.

"I see. Chen Ke took the towel, wiped the tiger saliva on his face, and got up to leave with Shizi. The red panda muttered on the side, but Mrs. Hua Rui didn't see it, but was licked by the tiger.

"After the hibiscus flower meeting, you better go up the mountain to clean up. The female voice unexpectedly came from the gauze tent again.

When the prince heard this, he stopped, his expression darkened, and he asked without turning his head, "Even the old ancestor has no confidence in me?"

"You're a good boy, you shouldn't have given your life for fame and fortune. Although the old woman is old, as long as you go up the mountain to cultivate, they will not do anything to you. The woman in the gauze tent seemed to sigh slightly, "Left and right are his descendants, what can you let me do?" for thousands of years, I still owe it to your ancestors." ”

"Thank you for the kindness of the old lady, but my grandson thinks that this way of heaven is constant, and he will still stand on the side of the righteous people. I was born as a son, so naturally I want to be the king of Shu. Da Shizi frowned, clenched his fists slightly, and walked down the steps without looking back.

There was a faint sigh from the tent.

On the way down the mountain, the great prince did not say a word and went straight into the city. gave Chen Ke a small jade plate, saying that it could be used at the flower viewing party tomorrow, so he took the armor to say goodbye to Chen Ke and left in a hurry.

........

"It seems that the great prince did not win the support of Madame Blossom. The red panda floating on the road said to Chen Ke with a blank look.

"Whatever, I just look down on the second son anyway, if he really wants to rebel, I will definitely help the eldest son. Chen Ke said that it is not his character to know that he does not repay his kindness.

Back at Yuelai Building, Xiaoyao Xian was already eating, drinking and listening to music on the third floor again.

"What's wrong with you, old-timer. Did you encounter any difficulties?" Chen Ke asked, today's Xiaoyao Immortal sat in front of the couch, looking thoughtful, not as profligate as when he saw him last night.

"It's not like that, it's just that I accompanied Master into the palace today. Suddenly, I saw the glow cave open at the mouth of the Guan River, and it seemed that the Holy Monarch's house had opened the gate of heaven and some guests had come. By the time Master and I rushed over, there was only the glow left, and now I want to think about it. Xiaoyao Xian saw Chen Ke come in and explained with a smile.

"Manifest Sage Monarch?" Chen Ke was puzzled, didn't he say that the biggest demon king in Shu was this Lady Stamen. Why did another Manifestation Monarch appear?

"Guan Jiangkou Erlang Immortal Jun is the only well-documented immortal in this Shu!" I didn't expect Xiaoyao Immortal to speak amazingly.

"Are there really immortals?" Chen Ke was also very curious, he originally thought that ascension was the last step, but now Xiaoyao Immortal actually said that there were real immortals.

"Legend has it that 2,000 years ago, there was a family surnamed Yang at the mouth of the Guanjiang River. With the blessing of the Heavenly Maiden, she gave birth to a child and named her Erlang. I don't know how, this Yang Erlang became an immortal. Xiaoyao Xian said slowly.

"Then how do you know that he is an immortal?" Chen Ke was puzzled.

"This Yang Erlang, the mansion is at the mouth of the Guanjiang River, and he doesn't care about the world. But there are rewards every year in the Great Xia, and the specifications are even higher than those of the King of Shu. I have read the document given to him, and it is written that Erlang Xiansheng Immortal Monarch, and the payment turned out to be those wonderful and even feathered realm of the Great Xia Kingdom, and the words are extremely respectful. ”

"Besides, a thousand years ago, the Dragon King of the West Sea married the fifth princess and the immortal monarch as his wife. It stands to reason that the dragon king marries a human being, but in fact, he can't afford it. But that time the historical records recorded that the Dragon King of the West Sea was very happy and did a great job. ”

"Five hundred years ago, when I was young, I once saw the Dragon Lord come to the province. The Dragon King is rich in the sea, and his strength is only second only to Great Xia and overseas, and even the King of Shu can't compare. But at the door of the mansion, he began to greet his head. And it is rumored that the dragon clan of the four seas is the only demon clan that still has dealings with the gods in the sky, you say that they are all so respectful, so what is Yang Erlang not an immortal?"

Thinking of this, Xiao Yao said with a fascination, "His usual mortal mansion is rumored to be inhabited only by servants. That year, the dragon king was provincial, and I only saw the glow in the sky, and the dragon king bowed and walked up. Now I think about it, but I don't feel it. The profundity of this realm is really beyond our imagination. ”

"Feathering and ascending, becoming an immortal and attaining the Tao, if I hadn't seen it with my own eyes, I wouldn't have believed it. But even this real fairy is also seeing flowers in the fog, how few. Xiaoyao Xian picked up the gourd and poured a sip of wine.

"Ge Laozidi, come, little black bear, drink wine and eat meat. Xiaoyao Xian seemed to have figured it out, and he changed back to a warm gesture to entertain Chen Ke and sit down.

"Honestly, did you sell these things in exchange for the mistress last time?"

"Hehe, you know all about it and ask. Eat and drink well, let's go to see the Hibiscus Flower Club tomorrow, you just said that the prince gave you a VIP brand? Then we can see comfort this time. Xiaoyao Xian squeezed his eyes, and covered the matter of water cloud stone with a haha. Chen Ke had no choice but to accompany him to drink.

In the distance, the glow of the sky is slowly dissipating.......
