The sun is setting and the cool breeze is blowing.

A black horse-drawn carriage with the cheerful sound of bells drove along the winding mountain road.

But the strange thing is that the black carriage is pulled by a huge scalper.

What's even more strange is that on the thick horns of this big yellow ox, there is also a delicate little yellow flower, the small yellow flower has a total of five petals, slightly curled together, obviously has begun to wither, the yellowish stalk bent into a dangerous arc under the wind brought by the high speed, as if it will be blown off by the wind at any moment.

"Moo-"

From time to time, a cow's howl sounded, startling a large number of birds in the forest by the roadside.

"Why is Rhubarb so happy today? I kept calling all the way, and I have been calling for a long time. Huang Zhen leaned on the side of the car window, looking out the window at the woods that looked a little hazy due to the rapid passage of time, and said boringly.

Since he completely left the boundary of Yunzhou and rushed for several days in a row, he has become in this salted fish state.

However, the old and the young in the carriage, Du Lao was fiddling with his bottles and cans, and Huang Qi was holding the scroll and looking out the window at the remnant sun in a daze, and no one paid attention to him.

Huang Zhen looked at this scene sadly, he felt that he might die on the road before he arrived in Jiangnan, and he would die of boredom.

Call......

"What sound?"

A violent whistling sound similar to a strong wind suddenly came into Huang Zhen's ears, and he looked over, but the branches on the side of the road outside were still only shaking slightly, and there was no sign of the wind blowing.

"What's wrong?" asked Du Lao, raising his head.

Huang Zhen frowned and said, "There was a strange sound just now, didn't you hear it?"

Du Lao shook his head again and again, indicating that he hadn't heard anything, and said:

"Maybe it's the cry of some kind of beast. ”

Huang Zhen shook his head, and was about to turn his head to call Hu Dali outside to see if he heard any strange sounds, but found that Huang Qi, who had been looking at the scenery outside since he set off in the afternoon, finally retracted his gaze and was flipping through the scroll in his hand.

"Big brother, did you hear any strange sounds just now?" asked Huang Zhen.

Huang Qi shook his head slightly and said, "No, maybe you heard it wrong." ”

Hearing this answer, Huang Zhen looked depressed, and went out of the carriage to find Hu Dali.

Soon, Huang Zhen's somewhat depressed voice outside the carriage came into Huang Qi's ears, and it was obvious that Hu Dali didn't get the answer he wanted.

Huang Qi shook his head and chuckled, he didn't expect Huang Zhen's soul to be so sensitive.

There were indeed some sounds just now, which were made by Huang Qi when he tried to use the soul separation effect, but ordinary people couldn't detect it at all, and only people with sensitive souls could sense it.

It had been more than ten days since he left Lianshan City, and it was only today that his spirit had fully recovered to its full value, and this was still under the condition of using soothing incense every day.

Of course, this is also related to the fact that he sends a large number of divine thoughts into his heart every day, and the differentiation of divine thoughts also greatly slows down the speed of his spiritual recovery.

Now in the heart realm, Huang Qi has sent more than 100,000 divine thoughts, and these divine thoughts are growing every day, and the first batch of 1,300 divine thoughts has been more than twice as strong as before.

But since the last batch of divine thoughts were divided and sent into the heart realm a few days ago, the special effects were completely dimmed, obviously having reached Huang Qi's current limit, and he couldn't divide any more.

So until today's spirit is complete, Huang Qi tried another special effect: soul separation.

After using the soul separation effect, Huang Qi understood what kind of ability it was.

It is to make the soul out of the body, to achieve an effect similar to the out-of-body of the original spirit.

However, there are still some differences from the original god out of the body, because it is not the main body of the soul that is separated from the soul, but a differentiated divine thought, a divine soul subbody, but this divine thought is far more powerful than the special effect of the original soul.

Huang Qi estimated in his heart that maybe the hundreds of thousands of divine thoughts he had differentiated in the past ten days were not as strong as the soul departing from the soul together.

And unlike the simple divine thoughts, after Huang Qi used the Soul Separation, it felt like he had differentiated into another self, a completely independent existence.

Except for the absence of a physical body, this divine soul subbody is no different from itself, so it gives Huang Qi a strange sense of being out of the body.

However, with the ability to leave the soul, Huang Qi has only explored two abilities: detection and attack.

As for whether there are other effects, Huang Qi does not know, and he will have to slowly explore it in the future.

"The little yellow flower on the rhubarb's head seems to have begun to wither. Huang Zhen, who got back into the carriage, sighed.

He clearly remembered that on the day when Lianshan City had just set off, Huang Qi found a small yellow flower out of nowhere and placed it on the horns of the rhubarb, originally thought that it would wither in less than two days, but he didn't expect that after so long, not only did it not wither, but it has always been vigorous, and it was only now that he found signs of withering.

"Really?"

Huang Qi's spirit perked up, and under the perception of his soul, he found that the yellow flower had indeed shown signs of withering.

He was slightly happy in his heart, but he didn't expect that he really succeeded.

This little yellow flower is called a withered spirit flower, it seems to be weak, but it is actually a strange flower, which grows in the vicious place where the miasma of the poor mountains and evil waters is everywhere, the more vicious the place matures, the faster it matures, and after it matures, it is the main medicine for refining the small elixir, and the small elixir ordinary people can increase their strength for ten years out of thin air, and it is a good thing for innate martial artists to have hot eyes.

This withered spirit flower is also one of Huang Qi's harvests in the Wanbao Pavilion, a space secret treasure of an earth element martial artist, a large number of withered spirit flowers are stored, but unfortunately, they are all in the growth period, and they are not ripe at all.

Huang Qi still recognized the withered spirit flower through the rhubarb, and after recognizing the withered spirit flower, he was enthusiastic about its effect, but he was suffering from the fact that it was all immature, and he didn't know where to find the so-called vicious place.

Is there anything more vicious than the top of a big demon's head?

It turned out to be a success......

The withered flower begins to wither, and that's when it really matures.

It is precisely because Rhubarb notices that the withered spirit flower on its head is fully ripe and can finally be plucked from its horns, so it looks so cheerful in the afternoon.

What is the matter with a big demon who has a broken flower on his head all the time?

Poor Rhubarb didn't know that Huang Qi had much more than a withered spirit flower in his hand......

"Here it is again. Huang Zhen suddenly said with some sadness.

Huang Qi looked out, half of the sunset had already set, and the remnant sun was like blood, dyeing half of the sky blood-red.

A low hill appeared in front of it, and the afterglow of the setting sun sprinkled on the mountain, covering the hill with a layer of golden glow, like a huge robe shining with the light of the Buddha.

Mingxin said at that time that the woman's pipa sound was the most perfect sound in the world, and I tried my best to refute him at that time, but now that I think about it carefully, maybe the rhythm she played was not the most perfect, but the charm expressed in it was something that Sister Su had never shown. ”

In Huang Zhen's heart, the most moving music in the world is the sound of the piano played by Su Muqing, and at this moment he can compare the woman with Su Muqing, which shows that he has recognized her skills deep down.

The nameless hill in front of us is where Ming Xin, the master of the Huangquan Knife, has lived with his master, the old monk Hollow, for more than ten years.

Huang Qi and the others returned to Jiangnan this time, so they came here again.

Hearing Huang Zhen's words, the figure of the woman in white flashed through Huang Qi's mind, he shook his head, touched Huang Zhen's head, and chuckled: "Why are you so sad all of a sudden." ”

Huang Zhen shook his head and said: "It's nothing, I heard that the temple has been taken down and turned into an inn, and today we finally don't want to sleep in the wild." ”

After all, it is a child, and when it comes to this, Huang Zhen is a little excited again.

The temple had been converted into an inn, and they had heard from the townspeople when they passed through the town of Jin in the morning to replenish supplies.

Then he was a little puzzled: "Big brother, how could anyone think of opening an inn on a barren mountain? ”

Huang Qi said with a smile: "What do you know? If you open it on the mountain, you only need to repair and restructure the temple a little to open it, and you have to build it from scratch under the mountain, and it takes more than ten times as much manpower and material resources as before."

Again, there is no competitive pressure here. They only need to place some street signs on the side of the road, and the pedestrians will naturally go to their inn, otherwise they can only go to the two small towns that are still a day's journey, so why worry about no business?"

Huang Zhen looked at the street sign on the side of the road that read "Chengfeng Inn" and nodded thoughtfully.

Huang Qi also turned his head to look at the street signs, the inn was open on a barren mountain, in addition to the reason he said, there was another reason he didn't say.

That is to facilitate the handling of some unclean things.

Above the street sign, a layer of black smoke invisible to the naked eye was shrouded in it, and the thick black smoke turned into a skeleton form, and it roared at Huang Qi and their carriage with their big mouth open.

The gravel path up the hill seems to have been re-trimmed, not only doubled in size, but also much smoother, and the many potholes have disappeared, making it much easier to walk than before.

Amid the sound of the wheels crushing the rubble, the carriage soon reached the top of the mountain.

"Wow, this inn is so magnificent, it doesn't look like the old little temple at all. Huang Zhen leaned out of the car window and shouted.

Although it is not yet completely night, two red lanterns with red candles have been raised high and hung on both sides of the plaque, and the brand-new plaque is still wrapped with red embroidery, writing the four big characters of "Chengfeng Inn".

A smell of meat came from the door of the inn and wafted into the carriage, making Huang Zhen, who was already a little hungry in his stomach, salivate and swallowed his saliva violently.

"A few guest officers, come inside. ”

As if attracted by the sound of bells, a sturdy young man walked out of the inn and said to Huang Qi and the others who got out of the carriage.

The young man had a simple smile on his face and a white towel draped over his shoulder, which made people feel a sense of trust at a glance.

Under the leadership of the young man, Huang Qi took Huang Zhen and Du Lao into the inn, and Hu Dali drove the carriage to the backyard first.

The lobby has been enlarged and wider than before, and the original statue of the Bodhisattva is still there, but it has stepped back a lot, clinging to the wall.

Five or six tables were placed inside, and when Huang Qi and the others came in, there were already three tables of guests starting to eat.

Huang Zhen sat next to Huang Qi and looked around curiously, he didn't expect this kind of barren mountain and wild shop to have such a good business, and the lobby was actually half full.

The shopkeeper behind the counter was a woman in her thirties, but she was also quite beautiful, and when she saw Huang Qi, who was handsome and handsome, walked in, her eyes lit up, and she put down the accounts in her hand, walked out directly from behind the counter, waved the young man to the side, and personally entertained Huang Qi.

With a gentle smile on his face, Huang Qi glanced at the six fiery red tails that were wagging wantonly behind the shopkeeper and talked to her casually.

The shopkeeper called himself Yun Niang, her husband had just died and left her alone to be widowed, and when she returned to her hometown in Yunzhou from Jiangnan, she slept in this deserted temple, and felt that the area here was acceptable, so she used the money left by her husband to change it into an inn from the hands of the government to make a living.

There were four people in the inn, including her, the stout boy was her own nephew, there was a cook hired from Golden Town, and finally a half-grown girl was her daughter.

"This son, but the Jiangnan clan?" seemed to hear the conversation between Huang Qi and Yun Niang, and on the table not far away, a person shouted.

Huang Qi turned his head to look, there were three people sitting at the table, shouting a handsome young man, next to him sat a scholar with slightly shabby clothes, and on the other side was a beautiful woman in a light skirt.

"Big brother, this person looks like you. Huang Zhen whispered in Huang Qi's ear.

He had noticed the teenager for a long time.

Huang Qi knew that what Huang Zhen said was not the appearance he meant, but the descriptive temperament on his body.

This boy looked to be no more than fifteen or sixteen years old, wearing a jade crown on his head, dressed in brocade clothes, and his eyes were as dark and bright as black jade, which brought him a different temperament.

It's just a copy of Huang Qi.

You must know that Huang Qi is only fifteen years old this year, but because he used to practice martial arts and developed rapidly, his body looks almost the same as an adult, which is the result of his extreme suppression of his own growth, otherwise he would have become a muscular hunk long ago.

"It's the same people in Jiangnan and Tongzhou, dare to ask Gongzi's surname?" Huang Qi bowed, his voice a little hesitant.

Could it be another acquaintance like Jiang Xinming?

The young man stood up from the table, walked towards Huang Qi, and said with a smile: "In Xiafugui's surname is Xia, and his single name is a Lin character, which is a Yunzhou person's name, but he grew up in Jiangnan since he was a child, and he only moved to Yunzhou in recent years. Meeting is fate, with good wine, why don't you share the table with me and have a drink. ”

The noble son, who called himself Xia Lin, came to invite Huang Qi to drink with him at the same table.

That Yun Niang had been silent since Xia Lin spoke, and even glared at him fiercely when everyone couldn't see it, as if she was extremely annoyed that he interrupted her chat with Huang Qi.

Xia Lin looked at Yun Niang's angry glare in his eyes, but he still maintained a gentle smile on his face and looked at Huang Qi, as if he hadn't seen anything.

However, the two didn't know that under Huang Qi's divine induction, all their actions and actions were fully seen by Huang Qi.

"Please. ”

Huang Qi stood up and said with a smile.
