Chapter 442: The White Crane Boy
Ming Qin is smart and sharp-eyed, and he can't hide anything from him in hundreds of steps.
The climate in the Chunyang Valley is humid and hot, the mountain rocks are covered with thick moss, the grass and trees are verdant, there are many songbirds, snakes and insects lurking, the clouds of the Yudai River are gloomy, and there is a bit of paradise taste.
The two walked along the river bank for three or five hundred steps, and saw that there was a dilapidated stone bridge in the center of the river, which had been washed out for more than a few years, and the arches of the bridge were still intact, and the stone beasts carved on the bridge body were also faintly visible.
"Looks like this is it?"
Ming Qin led Mei Yinxue to the stone bridge and carefully searched for the mechanism pointed out by Takagi Kite. The stone bridge is not surprising at first glance, except that several stone beasts are carved between the arches of the bridge, and their mouths are wide open, as if they can spit river water.
"Sister Xue, these ones seem a little weird, I'll go down and take a look. ”
Mei Yinxue can't see, even if she has wonderful powers, she can almost replace her eyes with her ears, and it will be inconvenient in the end. Mingqin can't rely on her for everything.
"Be careful. Mei Yinxue nodded slightly, her expression showing a hint of nervousness.
Ming Qin didn't pay attention, turned over the stone fence and buckled the uneven bridge body to the stone beast to observe, looked at the open lips and kisses, only to see the stone beast holding a round stone ball, Ming Qin secretly felt strange, reached in and carefully groped.
The stone ball tentacles were warm, as if they were alive in it, and the rest was very large, Ming Qin played with it twice, the stone ball snapped, and suddenly rolled down into the stone belly, and a bang could be faintly heard, as if falling into the water.
Mingqin was stunned for a moment, not waiting for him to figure it out. The stone bridge rumbled and shook violently, and several stone beasts spewed out hot and humid mist together. It's clear that it touched some magic circle.
"Qinzhi, come up quickly. ”
Mei Yinxue sensed that something was wrong. The soft whip shook out and drooped under the bridge.
Ming Qin felt that he had nowhere to stay, and he was almost shocked into the river. Seeing that Mei Yinxue came to the rescue, she hurriedly held the whip. Mei Yinxue felt the tip of the whip sink, and she raised her arm to pull Ming Qin up.
Ming Qin jumped onto the bridge deck, frightened, and before he could catch his breath, he suddenly felt that the entire stone bridge was booming and shook, and he quickly sank into the water. A compass-like golden circle emerged, like a whirlpool of rapidity, emitting great suction.
The two hurriedly used their skills. I couldn't jump in my eagerness. With the rotation of the circle, the wind overflowed, and it was extremely fast. The blow made people dizzy, and they were too busy to take care of themselves, and they held on for a while, and finally fell unconscious.
............
I don't know how long it took, the sound of gurgling water gradually came into my ears, and Ming Qin woke up with a spirit.
Sit up and take a look. It was still a stone bridge, a little different from the previous one, this stone bridge seemed to be made of jade, and even the lions sitting on the railing of the bridge were extremely exquisite. Under the bridge is clear clear water. It is long and winding, and you can't see the edge at a glance. The cliffs are lined with colorful flowers, fragrant and fragrant. The air is filled with a refreshing sweet scent.
"Sister Xue—"
Ming Qin thought of Mei Yinxue, who was traveling with him, and swept his eyes. I saw her clinging to the stone fence as if she was unconscious. His heart widened slightly, and he patted his clothes and jumped up. I gathered my breath and found that there was no hindrance, so I was a little relieved.
Jumped to Mei Yinxue's side, picked up her fragrant shoulder, patted her, and called, "Sister Xue, wake up." Does it matter?"
Mei Yinxue opened her eyes blankly, and after a while, she seemed to remember that her eyes had not been cured, so she brushed her hair and said, "I'm fine." It seems that this stone bridge hides a powerful magic circle, and Takagi Kite is vague, which is a bit difficult. ”
Ming Qin smiled dumbly, knowing that she couldn't see the changes in the outside world, and reminded: "Sister Xue, it seems that we have arrived at the Heavenly Fowl Garden." ”
"Really?"
Mei Yinxue asked what was going on, and pondered: "In this way, the path to enter the Heavenly Bird Garden is indeed on the stone bridge, and Takagi Kite didn't lie to us. But we don't seem to know how to go back yet?"
"The path I see is probably on this stone bridge. Ming Qin smiled: "If you come, you will be safe." Let's go find the red warbler millet first, and when we get something, we will study it slowly. ”
"Good. Mei Yinxue nodded slightly, and hesitated: "Do you know the red warbler?"
"I don't know much. ”
Ming Qin scratched his head and said honestly. It is not a very common plant, and although he has heard it from many people, he does not know anything about it.
"It's okay, if you find a suspicious flower, show it to me. ”
Mei Yinxue pursed her lips and smiled, and pondered: "Takagi Kite named the red warbler millet of the Heavenly Fowl Garden, and did not want other flower species. Presumably, this red warbler millet has been cultivated by the Venerable Master of the Heavenly Fowl and has an extraordinary effect. ”
Ming Qin nodded yes, and the two of them walked down the stone bridge, and after walking a few steps, they suddenly heard a rumbling sound on the stone bridge, and the magic circle floated, descending several young men and women.
Ming Qin was slightly taken aback, grabbed Mei Yinxue's sleeve, and dodged to hide in a lush flower. Look through the foliage to the bridge.
I saw a few men and women with strange appearances, exuding a strange aura, and they didn't look like good people.
The leader was a tall young man, wearing a vigorous leather armor, a dark cloak, a black snake-headed cane, long and narrow eyes, and a white beard, giving people a taste of gloom and compassion.
"Senior brother, the master asked us to pick the red warbler millet, where is this red warbler millet?"
A thin man followed behind the young man in black and asked.
Ming Qin heard it in his ears, and couldn't help but be surprised and happy, surprised that these people were also coming for the red warbler millet, it seems that Mei Yinxue is good, the red warbler millet is really a rare medicinal material, not so easy to get. The good thing is that people come prepared, they must know the path, as long as she and Mei Yinxue are behind, it is possible to get twice the result with half the effort.
The young man in black smiled disdainfully, and said in an urn voice: "The master ordered me to preside over the overall situation, and you just follow the orders and do so much, can the senior brother still harm you?"
"Yes, yes. The thin man wiped his sweat and nodded.
The young man in black snorted lightly, looked at the girl in yellow who was traveling with him, changed his face and said, "Yanzi, that female devil is very strict with the red warbler, and the master has repeatedly told her not to alarm her." You'll have to stay with the big brother for a while. I will protect you. ”
This girl in yellow was born like a spring flower, and her waist was like a willow. The clothes are decorated with glittering foil, and the body is plump and exquisite. The delicate chest is about to come out, it is indeed a complete beauty, no wonder the young man in black looks at it differently.
"Thank you, Senior Brother. ”
Jin Yanzi replied lukewarmly, ignoring the overtures of the young man in black.
"Goshawk, it's important to get down to business. ”
A short-haired man next to him said coldly, he called the young man in black by his name, and seemed to be not convinced by him.
Goshawk's face darkened, he stared at the strong man, and said slightly, "Senior vulture brother." If you encounter the female devil's disciples and grandchildren coming to stop you, it's up to you. ”
With a cold snort, he strode down the bridge first, followed by vultures, golden swallows, and crows.
"Sister Xue, these people are also here to pick red warbler millet, it seems that there is a cheap choice. ”
Ming Qin knew that it would not be so easy to pick red warbler millet, and Takagi Kite wanted to save the life of the demon python, of course, he would not tell the danger and the danger, but he didn't expect to encounter a group of tigers snatching food as soon as he came to the Heavenly Fowl Garden.
Mei Yinxue nodded and said, "They seem to be the apprentices of the Pharaoh Ancestor. Presumably familiar with the flower garden of the Sky Bird Garden, let's act when we see the opportunity. ”
The disciples of the Heavenly Fowl Sect seem to have a characteristic, even if it is not a change in the Feather Clan, most of them have the word "Bird" in their names. There are high wood kites in front of them, ancient Changhong's Hong, goshawks, and golden swallows are clearly the same.
Only Yin Shutong is an exception. But the dredging is a flower and tree, and the birds nest and live. It is naturally inseparable from flowers and trees.
The three major disciples of the Heavenly Fowl Venerable Master have no descendants except for Takagi Kite. Gu Changhong and Yin Shutong saluted each other, and the person who came to steal her red warbler millet was none other than Gu Changhong's master and apprentice.
Ming Qin and Mei Yinxue waited for the four of them to walk twenty or thirty steps, tiptoeing behind, both sides of the river bank were full of mixed flowers and trees, which were very easy to hide, and the goshawk and his party were concentrating on looking for a garden to plant red warbler millet, and they didn't know that they were being stared at.
The goshawk got the order of exterminating the Pharaoh's ancestor, and took out a topographic map of the Heavenly Bird Garden from his arms.
Several people turned around according to the map, passed through several round arches, and suddenly saw the sky full of sunshine, bright and dazzling, and looked at it, a colorful flower garden appeared in front of them.
The garden is divided into several furrows before and after, and the planting is a color of safflower, and the red stamens are in full bloom, as if they are dyed with rouge, which is not inferior to camellia and peony.
"Haha...... , sure enough, it was a red warbler. ”
The four of them looked at each other and smiled. Goshawk thrust his crutches into the ground, untied a spiritual qi cloth bag from his waist, and beckoned: "Everyone hurry up, don't let the master wait." ”
The three golden swallows each took out similar storage bags and picked them separately around the flower garden.
Ming Qin hid behind the courtyard wall and looked at it, and the goshawks were busy in full swing, and they were busy discussing with Mei Yinxue: "The red warbler millet is inside, they have already started picking, what should we do?"
"Wait. Mei Yinxue muttered: "We just want to pick a few red warbler millets, and we can't do anything with the apprentice of the Pharaoh Ancestor, let's see." ”
Ming Qin thought about it, what they wanted to do was to do the same thing as the goshawk brothers, if there was a big conflict in the garden, it would inevitably alarm Yin Shutong's disciples, and no one would be able to please them.
It stands to reason that the red warbler is so important, Yin Shutong should be very strict, how to let the goshawks easily succeed. There's a big deal in the middle.
The four of them were busy for most of the hour, each picking a full bag, and the goshawk looked at the sky and said busily: "Vultures, swallows, stop it." The master asked us to pick for half an hour at most, and we were afraid that things would change, so let's sort it out and return the same way. ”
As he spoke, he fastened his pockets, shook his hand, and said something in his mouth, and his pockets were like deflated balloons that quickly deflated until they were like fists.
The vultures knew that the red warbler millet could ask for merit in front of the ancestor of the pharaoh, so they couldn't wait to collect more, so they refused to stop. The goshawk urged again and again before he was reluctant to pack it up.
"Where did the thief come from, who dared to steal into my homestead to steal things. ”
A clear shout sounded suddenly, and a white-clothed young man flew on the eaves, with clear eyebrows and beautiful eyes, a tall posture, and two snow-white wings under the flank, one feather, and the wind was blowing.
Ming Qin perked up when he heard this, and pulled Mei Yinxue and said with a smile: "There is a good show to watch." ”
Goshawk took a step forward, copied the snake's head staff in his hand, and said with a smile: "Everyone pack up your things and get ready to walk." ”
"Want to leave?" The young man in white looked up to the sky and laughed, crossed his arms and said, "Leave the stolen goods, and the master will spare your dog's life for the sake of you doing long-term work for half a day." ”
The goshawk has a black face, and the young man in white has already discovered their traces, and the reason why he has not shown up for a long time is to let the four of them do some labor, saving them the effort of picking at home.
"You kid doesn't dry up, but your breath is not small. I don't need their help, and if you can get through ten strokes under my staff, I'll leave you with the red warbler. ”
"Haha......" The young man in white said proudly: "Don't talk nonsense." I, the White Crane, have been ordered to guard the flower beds, and I can let you slip right under my nose. If you don't leave anything behind, don't even think about leaving. ”
As soon as he said that, the palm of his hand was raised, and a white light flashed, revealing a bright long sword. Spread her bright wings and swooped down on the top of the goshawk's head.
"Teach the best moves. ”
The goshawk smiled gloomily, and danced the snake's head cane to see the move unhurriedly.
The white crane boy has a sharp sword move, carrying the help of his wings, and he swoops in the air, and his momentum is strong. The goshawk relies on its profound skills, step by step, and the drips of the block are not revealed.
After a few fights, the goshawk picked up a staff and smashed the long sword of the white crane boy, and sneered: "Let your kid know how powerful the uncle is." ”
As he spoke, the cane in his hand suddenly snapped up, and moved like a living creature. The colorful snake head spits red letters and flies according to the long body of the white crane boy, which is very mysterious and difficult.
The white crane boy was caught off guard, his wings flicked, dodged, and laughed instead of being angry, "You dirty snake dares to play tricks in front of the master, it's really an axe, and it's a long life." ”
He is a white crane cultivator, the natural nemesis of the python, and he naturally disdains the ingenuity of the goshawk.
The crane spread its wings, rose in the air, saw the flaws of the goshawk, slammed down in the air, swooped down, and the long sword trembled to pick up the goshawk's snake staff.
The sword and staff struck, the snake's head and staff burst open with a bang, spurting out a piece of fishy blood, and the white crane boy bore the brunt of it, and with an oops, half of his clothes were wet, and his head and neck were suddenly dirty, and his eyes were hot and difficult to see, and he abandoned the goshawk and fled in embarrassment.
Goshawk laughed, very proud, waved his hand and said: "Little ghost, I want to fight with the uncle, go back and practice for another ten years and eight years." ”
Suddenly, there was a roar in the sky, and a fiery red luan rode the wind, the red light floated, and fell to the ground and turned into a red-clothed girl with bright eyes and bright teeth, with round apricot eyes, looking back and forth at the four people with angry faces, "Which one injured my senior brother Baihe, hurry up and lead the death." ”
"It's not good, there are a lot of female demon apprentices, if they come to intercept them one by one, it will be difficult for us to get out. ”
The goshawk child secretly complained, and the joy of defeating the white crane boy suddenly disappeared without a trace. (To be continued.) )
