The three of them followed the sedan chair procession for a long distance, and a city gradually came into view. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

The guards in front grabbed the reins, turned over and dismounted one by one, and began to rest in place.

Su Ji said: "Let's rest too, it's been two hours." ”

The trio quickly agreed. Niu Zhu and Jingyang respectively tied the cow and pig to a big tree on the side of the road, and each rested against the trunk.

Unknown strange birds are in the trees, chirping non-stop.

Su Ji looked up, and the scorching sun shone on his face through the tall trees, leaving a dappled shadow.

Niu Zhu's stomach growled, and at this time, the three of them were now thirsty and hungry.

The sedan chair team rested under the tree one zhang away from the three people, some people took out wooden food boxes, some people took out two jars of wine, and some people spread a square cloth on the ground, and set up cups of wine and food, as if they were planning to eat lunch.

Niu Zhu looked at the people who were eating and drinking pitifully, swallowed his saliva and asked, "Senior brother, are you thirsty?"

Su Ji couldn't bear it, got up and said, "I'll go to them and ask for some water to drink." ”

"Don't act rashly!" Jingyang suddenly grabbed Su Ji's trouser leg and stopped: "That demon girl loves to play some tricks, don't fall for her." ”

Looking at the capital of Baoguo at the end of his sight, Su Ji had to endure it for a while and give up for the time being.

"Senior brother, look at it!"

Niu Zhu let out an exclamation, his eyes staring directly at the copper plate in his hand.

Su Ji stepped forward and was shocked to find that the "snake" totem on the copper plate was gradually dimming.

"What's going on?" Niu Zhu was puzzled and muttered:

Su Ji asked Jingyang: "Does this mean that my senior sister broke alone for a while?"

Jingyang nodded, and said with an approving look on his face: "I have heard that Chai Shouzao has set up the Snake Formation in a cold pool, which is guarded by a willow immortal, which can be described as very dangerous. ”

Niu Zhuxi said: "Senior sister deserves to be a senior sister, it's really amazing!"

Su Ji heard "Hantan" and "Liu Xian", and secretly wondered if it was related to Liu Xian's cold picture?

While he was bowing his head and pondering, a guard approached.

The guards were richly dressed, smiled gently, and said politely: "Three Dao Masters, we just have an extra portion of water and food. The master has always admired monks, and specially ordered me to send them to a few people to temporarily quench their hunger and thirst. If you don't dislike it, please smile. ”

As he spoke, the guard handed over a sheepskin water bag and a wooden food box with both hands.

The food box was warm, and the sheepskin water bag was cold to the touch.

Su Ji could see at a glance that the sheepskin used to make the water bag was extremely precious. This parchment water bag is insulated and the water inside stays cold even in the desert.

Staring at the parchment water bag, the three of them each swallowed a mouthful of saliva, and no one dared to touch the water and food.

Niu Zhu couldn't help but ask, "You say, is this poisonous?"

"Don't even think about it, this must be the trick of the demon girl!" Jingyang was determined, then thought about it, and muttered: "However, we don't dare to drink water, so it's better to let the cow try." ”

Niu Zhu hurriedly said: "No! What if the water is poisonous and you drink it to death?"

"Don't worry about this, when this cow saved me, I found out that it was a descendant of an ancient spirit animal. ”

After that, Jingyang poured the water from the sheepskin water bag into the groove in the middle of the copper plate and sent it to the green cow.

The green cow probe licked a few mouthfuls with its red tongue, and quickly licked the water in the groove, and it seemed that it was already thirsty.

The three of them observed the reaction of the green cow and saw that it had not moved for a long time, as if nothing had happened.

Niu Zhu breathed a sigh of relief and said with relief: "This water is not poisonous, we can drink it." ”

Su Ji stopped: "It's still not appropriate." This green cow is a descendant of an ancient spirit beast, so the water it can drink, we may not be fine if we drink it. ”

Niu Zhu and Jingyang glanced at each other, both depressed.

"Poof! poof!"

Suddenly, there was a strange sound in my ears, like the sound of gnawing on something.

The three of them turned their heads to look and saw Jingyang's pig, taking advantage of the owner's inattention, stealing the food in the food box.

Jingyang was shocked and exclaimed, "Pig Bao, don't eat indiscriminately!"

However, it was too late.

The pig was so hungry that he swallowed the wooden box in one gulp, chewing it with relish, chewing it to pieces, and making a clicking sound in his mouth.

Immediately afterward, its eyes suddenly straightened, and it fell to the ground, and the four pig's trotters kicked wildly!

Jingyang's face turned pale suddenly, and he rushed over and shouted, "Pig Bao, what's wrong with you!"

The green cow approached the pig and made two "moo" sounds, as if asking what was wrong with it.

The pig made two "hums" from its mouth, as if in response, and then twitched for a while, and then lay still.

Su Ji reached in front of the pig's nose and found that the pig had lost its breath.

"Pig Bao!" Jingyang was grief-stricken and cried: "Pig Bao! You can't die! I have been dependent on you for so many years, sharing weal and woe, and I have always taught you to raise you as if you were my own flesh and blood! I can't imagine that today, the white-haired person will send the black-haired person!"

Qingniu walked up to Niu Zhu and called "moo" twice.

Niu Zhu nodded and said to Jingyang: "Dao Chief, Daben told me that your pig left a last word. ”

Su Ji was suddenly startled, could it be that the pig left a message about the demon girl before he died?

"What did it say?" asked Jingyang, crying.

Niu Zhu said: "It said that the food tasted good, but it was a little salty." ”

Jingyang cried and shouted: "Zhu Bao, you are affectionate and righteous to me, but I haven't even given you a full meal, I'm sorry for you, Zhu Bao!"

Niu Zhu looked at his green cow, scratched his head and said, "Why is Daben okay after drinking?"

Jingyang sobbed, "I just said it. Your cow is descended from an ancient spirit animal. My pig treasure is a spirit beast that is fed with herbs to ward off evil spirits, and it is naturally not as good as the one that is domesticated!"

When Jingyang was crying sadly, the guard who had just delivered the food box came over and asked, "Dao Chief, the master asked me to ask you, how did the pig die?"

Jingyang pointed to the sedan chair angrily and shouted, "I have to ask the demon girl!

The guard said: "The master asked me to tell the Taoist: Pig, I don't know. ”

The corners of Jingyang's mouth twitched slightly, his eyes stared, and he was so angry that he couldn't speak! However, he still didn't dare to approach the sedan chair, so he had to pull up the guard's collar and said angrily: "You must have known that there was something wrong with this dish?

The guard chattered: "The Taoist chief is angry, and the little one is just ordered to pass the word." ”

Niu Zhu came back to his senses and persuaded: "Dao Chief, the pig can't be resurrected after death, so let's mourn and change." ”

Jingyang let out a long sigh and let go of his hands to guard. said: "Zhu Bao was raised by me and has been with me for three years. In vain, I was under the gate of Jialong Mountain, and the heir of Tufu Xingjun was forced into such a situation by a little demon girl! I am ashamed to be afraid of the master and ancestor! I am ashamed to be listed as an immortal in the teaching!"

Su Ji said: "Dao Chief, you are a bit far away, let's bury your pig treasure." ”

At this time, there was a girl's coquettish smile from the sedan chair, and she giggled for a long time.

The laughter is pleasant to the ear, and in the smile, it seems to contain the power of seduction. Listening to Niu Zhu's heartbeat, it feels like drinking a glass of rich and fragrant wine, which makes people feel intoxicated and forget themselves.

"Xiao Ji ......"

When Su Ji heard the laughter, the smile on his face suddenly froze.

The sedan chair was slowly lifted by four big men, and a team of people walked away.

Looking at the sedan chair procession that gradually disappeared into the distance, Niu Zhu asked, "Dao Chief, when will we continue on the road?"

Jingyang said sadly: "You have to go and go by yourself." Now that I'm gone, I'm sure I'll fall for the witch's tricks. When I bury the pig treasure and think of a way, I will go to the demon girl to take revenge!"

Su Ji looked at the sedan chair in the distance, did not stop for a moment, and rode the green ox to follow.
