Chapter 15 The Beast
When Xin Yibo returned to the inn, Qiu Ze had already been sent back by the soldiers and was packing the luggage of the two.
"Where have you been?"
Xin Yibo shook his head, did not speak, and carried his burden behind his back.
Qiu Ze suddenly knelt on the ground: "My family matter has been settled, Master is above, please accept the apprentice's worship!"
Xin Yibo smiled at this time: "Boy, your revenge is not for me to help you avenge. ”
Qiu Ze was surprised: "Master, you know?"
Xin Yibo nodded: "Well, I just went to the palace, I know everything, you kid, you hide deep enough, I thought you had been admitted to the Jinshi." ”
"Master, this is a matter between me and the old man, please forgive my disciple for not saying it!"
Xin Yibo waved his hand: "I won't blame you, speaking of which, I also have some connections with him, I just can't figure out why Tang Yin and Xu Jing were arrested." ”
Qiu Ze muttered: "In the world, no one can stump Tang Yin! And Xu Jing, although he has some talent, but in my opinion, he is far inferior to Tang Yin, but he said that he can win the champion, therefore, I conclude that he must have done something disgraceful, and Tang Yin has always been frivolous and flamboyant, and before the list was released, he said that he was the champion of the current department, and the two came to Beijing at the same time, and the relationship was close, and it was understandable to arrest them together. ”
Xin Yibo said: "Well, but that's fine, that kid Tang Yin, after experiencing this incident, should be able to make him restrain a little...... I ask you now, are you really willing to be my disciple?"
"Master, if it weren't for you protecting me all the way to the capital, I'm afraid that those adults in Nanzhili would have assassinated me a long time ago if they knew that I was still alive!
Xin Yibo nodded and said, "Okay, from now on, you can call me Master, but the apprenticeship ceremony is not as simple as inviting guests to dinner, it can only be carried out when you return to the mountain with me." ”
"Master, when are we leaving?"
"Now that you've packed your bags, let's go now. ”
Under the moonlight, the two walked quickly towards the city gate, Xin Yibo took Qiu Ze's hand, jumped out of the city wall, and came to the post station outside the city, Xin Yibo took out a letter from his pocket and took away two fast horses, Xin Yibo was in front, Qiu Ze was behind, the horse's hooves did not stop, turned his head to look at the gradually distant capital, Qiu Ze had some inexplicable emotions in his heart, this time, I am afraid that I will not return for many years!
————
The two bought some dry food on the way, changed a few fast horses, and traveled all the way south for more than a month, and finally entered the territory of Huguang Province.
On the way, Xin Yibo once said to Qiu Ze that Nanhan Mountain is located near Qingyan Mountain in Huguang Province, Qiyun Temple is a Xiuzhen sect on Nanhan Mountain, and there is a vein, two valleys and five peaks under Qiyun Temple, and Xin Yibo is one of the two valleys on Nanhan Mountain.
After walking in Huguang Province for a few more days, the two finally came to the top of a peak in the Qingyan Mountain Range, and under the peak, a stream flowed by.
After days of hurrying, Xin Yibo, who had not yet healed from his serious injuries, was not tired at all, but Qiu Ze was so tired that he couldn't bear to die, his buttocks were not known how many blood marks were worn out by the saddle, and his internal organs were also shaken out of place, and even the soles of his feet had a lot of blisters.
But when he saw everything in front of him clearly, he couldn't help but let go of his tired body and mind, and his mouth was open enough to stuff a goose egg!
The various peaks in front of him are towering into the sky, and the shape is peculiar, as if it is made by a ghostly axe!
Looking at it, Qiu Ze gradually became stupid, and Xin Yibo said with a smile: "More than eighty years ago, when I was taken up the mountain by the master, my expression was similar to yours, and so many years have passed...... When I see this scene again, I am still excited!"
Qiu Ze looked at the spectacle in front of him and asked, "Could this be Nanhan Mountain? But isn't this Qingyan Mountain? I didn't see a house on the mountain, could it be that you live in the woods and cultivate?"
Xin Yibo scolded with a smile: "Stinky boy, you should be a cultivator, you are a monkey on the mountain? Lao Tzu is not a monkey, that's right, this is Qingyan Mountain, not Nanhan Mountain, Nanhan Mountain, not here." ”
Qiu Ze was stunned: "Nanhan Mountain is not here, then what are we doing here?"
Instead of answering him, Xin Yibo asked, "Boy, let me ask you, how is the mountain here?"
Qiu Ze pondered for a moment and said: "Qingyan Mountain is steep, and rare and exotic beasts are hidden in it, making it difficult to pass, and no one dares to climb it except for medicine pickers and hunters. ”
"Hunters and medicine pickers are also mortals, as long as they put in a little effort, it is not impossible to climb to the top of Qingyan Mountain, how can Nanhan Mountain be located in a place where mortals can reach it?
Xin Yibo looked around Qingyan Mountain, and after confirming that no other mortals were present, he blew a whistle, the whistle was not loud, but it spread far away, startling the birds in the woods in the mountain peaks to fly out, and after a while, on the top of the mountain opposite Qiuze, there was the sound of horses' hooves.
Qiu Ze was startled, he recognized the horse, that horse, it was the old horse that Xin Yibo had been carrying before entering Beijing, after leaving halfway, Qiu Ze didn't ask, he didn't expect it to be here.
The old horse shook off the horse's hooves, and soon came to the top of the opposite hill, and looked at the two from a distance, but the horse's hooves did not stop, and jumped out of the air!
It's over, the stupid horse is going to fall to his death......
Qiu Ze thought in his heart, his eyes widened, he didn't expect the old horse to float in the air, and he didn't fall into the mountain stream, only to see the old horse open the horse's mouth and let out a long howl, Qiu Ze was shocked when he heard it, it was not the sound of the horse barking at all!
The sound that came out of the old horse's mouth pierced the entire mountain range, shocking people's hearts! At this moment, Qiu Ze seemed to lose his mind, faintly, he heard a sense of oppression from the old horse's cry!
After the old horse neighed, his body was rapidly elongated at a speed visible to the naked eye, his waist became thinner and thinner, and his limbs gradually deformed.
It didn't take long for the old horse's change to stop, and at this time in mid-air, where was the horse, but ...... Dragon!
It was a green dragon about ten zhang long, and the dragon whiskers on the dragon's head were already gray, but its eyes were still sharp! The green dragon that had finished its transformation quickly twisted its body and flew towards the two of them.
Glancing at the stunned Qiu Ze beside him, Xin Yibo smiled: "It is one of the ancient green dragons of the four elephants, which has lived for thousands of years! It is also the only dragon in the world, it used to be the god of Zhenshan in Nanhan Mountain, and later, in a great war hundreds of years ago, it lost most of its divine power, and my master freed it, and when he left Nanhan Mountain ten years ago, he left it to me." ”
Qinglong flew in front of the two, Xin Yibo jumped and jumped on the dragon's back, Qiu Ze glanced down, the bottomless mountain stream made him tremble a little, Qinglong lowered his head and stretched his horns in front of Qiu Ze, Qiu Ze swallowed a mouthful of saliva.
This is a dragon! the only dragon in the world! a green dragon, one of the four great beasts!
Qiu Ze simply got heartbroken, grabbed the dragon horn and walked to the back of the dragon head and sat down.
"Boy, hold on!"
Without waiting for Xin Yibo to remind, Qinglong straightened his body, shook the dragon's tail towards the sky, and flew up, Qiu Ze only heard the "whirring" wind in his ears, grabbed the dragon's horns with both hands, and closed his eyes.
Qiu Ze couldn't have imagined that he was actually grabbing the dragon horn of the ancient beast Qinglong and flying!
After the green dragon flew for a while, Xin Yibo behind him spoke: "Shut your mouth and hold your breath!"
Akisawa did so, his eyes narrowed with curiosity.
Above his head, there was a huge white cloud, and the green dragon plunged into the white cloud, and Qiu Ze suddenly felt cold and woke up.
It turned out that the clouds were full of water!
The green dragon quickly shuttled in the water, Qiu Ze was startled, bubbles kept coming out of his mouth, and in the water, there were many strange fish passing by him, and Qiu Ze was frightened.
Fortunately, the water didn't seem to be too deep, and it didn't take long for the green dragon to emerge from the water.
(Qingyan Mountain in ancient times is now the Zhang family.) Circles)
