Chapter Twenty-Five: The Lord of the Mountain
Time flies in a blink of an eye, and Zhang Shiping has been in Gu'er Mountain for three days. In the past three days, Zhang Shiping, accompanied by Qingluo, walked around a radius of hundreds of miles. I have a relatively clear understanding of the neighborhood, especially the Shiratori clan.
The White Bird clan lives in Gu'er Shanyang, near Gushui. There, they built a semi-crypt out of mulberry and Zhemu on the mountainside of Gu'er to protect against the cold winter winds.
Their weapons are mostly wooden and less stone, and most of the materials are lacquered wood that grows on the top of Gu'er Mountain. It is a tough and heavy tree, which is very hard when roasted and not afraid of sea corrosion. The spear made of lacquered wood was the favorite weapon of the Shiratori warriors.
Although they are recognized as good fighters by the Eastern Clan, in fact, they do not like to fight. In the clan, even if there is a conflict, the metropolis is regulated by the witch.
Of course, Gao Yu has to be excluded from this. In the past three days, Zhang Shiping has been fighting more than ten times by her in the name of competition. So now Zhang Shiping basically dodged her when he saw her.
But although Gao Yu is from the White Bird Clan, she has always had a search ability that is not inferior to the Blue Bird Clan, and every time Zhang Shiping is easily found by her.
"I said, I threw in the towel. Can you always let me go?"
Seeing this cheetah-like woman, Zhang Shiping really had a headache, he was not a person who liked to fight. And more than 20 years of life on earth have made him a little machismo. If you fight with a woman, you won't be happy if you win, and you will be even more embarrassed if you lose.
"But who else can I find if I don't find you to beat me? Father, they all let me, and the others can't beat me. ”
Gao Yu tilted his head, looked at Zhang Shiping's frowning face, and said quite happily.
"Don't worry, I'm not here to fight you today. My father has also made trouble with me these days, so I asked me to go to the side of Boqi Mountain to find out the situation first. Do you want to come along?"
Hearing the news that Gao Yu was about to leave, Zhang Shiping secretly breathed a sigh of relief, he had had enough of tossing these days. After more than ten years of monasticism, Zhang Shiping has long developed a quiet and unmoving character. If there is nothing to be harassed by this Gao Yu, Zhang Shiping has a Five Thunder Fa to bombard her, so that the world can be cleaned.
"I'm not familiar with this place, so I'm not going to drag you back. ”
Zhang Shiping said calmly to Gao Yu.
"Well, I knew it was going to be like this. Qingluo, it's better for you to come. ”
Gao Yu was not annoyed by Zhang Shiping's refusal, and said behind him with a smile.
"Why do you want to go too?"
Zhang Shiping asked a little strangely. These days, Qingluo has been busy collecting herbs and solving some injuries for the Shiratori clan. I don't think I have time to mess around with Gao Yu.
"The mountain is also sealed with wild beasts, and there is a mountain lord who guards it there. But before the Kurs all head south, I need to repair the seal. So I'm sorry for you along the way!"
Qingluo leaned on Gao Yu and said with a smile.
"Where is the mountain lord guarding?"
Zhang Shiping asked puzzled. The so-called mountain masters, that is, divine beasts, with their wisdom, should not have that kind of execution ability, right?
"Well, that's a near-divine being. If he hadn't blocked the direct way of the Kurs to the south, then perhaps we would have to face the group of madmen who could go south at any time. ”
Gao Yu said to Zhang Shiping in awe. For the mountain owner of the mountain, she subconsciously expressed her awe.
"Don't worry so much. I once went to Mt. Kakuta, where the owner is quite gentle and very fond of humans. But his majesty is too heavy for all living beings to stay with him for long. ”
Qingluo said nonchalantly, looking at her appearance, the image of the mountain lord was very good.
Listening to the words of the two people, Zhang Shiping also became a little curious about the existence that had never met.
"Alright, then I'll go with you. ”
Standing up, Zhang Shiping said casually. But if you calculate the distance, it is almost 2,000 miles from here to the back and forth of the mountain. Calculate the time, at least half a month. Looking at Gao Yu, Zhang Shiping couldn't help but have a headache.
"Well, let's go!"
Quite vigorously ready things. Gao Yu's elated appearance made Zhang Shiping wonder, didn't this guy treat this trip as a tour?
When a few people gathered again at the foot of Zaigu'er Mountain, Qingluo brought three witches, and Gao Yu also brought three warriors of the White Bird Clan wearing Jiao Fur Clothes.
After such a long time, Zhang Shiping is also accustomed to walking in this pristine wilderness. Across six hundred miles of barrenness, the people came to the foot of Mount Boqi.
"We Shiratori people will stop here to see if any Kurish Wind Wolf Hunters are lurking around here. The next 400 miles will require you to travel alone. Beware of those savage wind wolf hunters, don't die. ”
Gao Yu stopped here and waved goodbye to Zhang Shiping, but the words in his mouth were not so friendly. I really don't know how her father, who is always smiling, has such a viper daughter.
"Didn't you say that the Kurs would go south when the north sea froze after the north wind blew? I guess it's not time yet. ”
Zhang Shiping has been talking with everyone these days and has a general understanding of the Kur people. They mount snow wolves, which are giant white wolves with thick fur but are not heat-tolerant. What's more, the passage on land has been directly blocked by the mountain lords of the mountain, and now they can't come here at all.
"You didn't listen carefully when I spoke. I'm talking about it - the Wind Wolf Hunter. Wind Wolf Hunter, you know? It's a giant wolf that's fast enough to run on the surface of the offshore sea. Every year, before the north wind blows, they come here as an advance party. But you don't have to worry about that, I'll find them one by one and slaughter them. ”
Gao Yu's face was full of confidence, and the other three warriors of the White Bird Clan seemed to be so convinced. This may be the source of the Shiratori clan's reputation for being a good fighter.
"This is a lucky stone I made, and I need to take good care of it. ”
When parting, Qingluo took out a piece of jade covered with runes and threw it to Gao Yu. Say it out loud.
This is the product of Qingluo and Zhang Shiping's research on the rune array these days. The rune array outlined on the jade can absorb the power of the moonlight to heal wounds, but the effect is not very ideal.
Gao Yu easily caught it, but his body did not stop because of this, and with three warriors, he crossed a few times in a vigorous posture, turning into a black spot in Qingluo's eyes.
"Let's hurry up too!"
Turning around, Qingluo shouted loudly.
Gao Yu obviously didn't have the potential to be a crow's mouth, Zhang Shiping and Qingluo took the three witches and came to the mountain safely.
To the east of the mountain, there is a clear sign of depletion of the earth's leylines. If nothing else, it should be a problem left over from the beast.
However, the mountain did not decay because of this, and with a little attention, you can detect the rising earth qi in the mountain. If you taste it carefully, you can also perceive the burning sensation unique to the power of the sun in the earthly atmosphere.
"It seems that this is the work of the so-called mountain lord. No wonder it was considered by the Shiratori clan to be close to the existence of the gods. ”
Zhang Shiping said with emotion in his heart.
Qingluo on the side easily dispersed her breath, and after a while, a spiritual fluctuation turned into a joyful voice around everyone.
"It's been another year, so let's come up since we're here. We seem to have seen this little girl in the lead, so don't be restrained. ”
Qingluo winked at Zhang Shiping with a smile, and walked towards the top of the mountain with the familiar team.
The closer they got to the top of the mountain, the more they felt a wave of heat coming. Zhang Shiping and Qingluo are fine, but the remaining three witches are a little uncomfortable. After a while, I was sweating profusely.
When they reached the top of the mountain, everyone saw a round altar with gold smelting, and under the sun, the golden altar was scorching, making people subconsciously avoid their eyes.
A half-human-tall black beast as tall as a wolf stepped down from the altar, and except for the six legs on its belly, it was basically no different from an ordinary wild wolf.
"I feel the breath of a new god in you, and the power is of the same origin as mine. This is really great news. You can call me Congcong, this is the name given to me by a wizard of the Blue Bird clan a long time ago. ”
After the divine beast named Congcong came down from the golden altar, he came to Zhang Shiping's side, raised his head, and spoke.
Just hearing the spiritual transmission, Zhang Shiping was already quite surprised. Now this self-proclaimed subordinate existence spoke directly, which surprised Zhang Shiping even more.
Although many people always think that youkai or something should speak to people. But in fact, being able to speak in the body of a beast is a sign of complete control over the body. In other words, the inconspicuous divine beast in front of him was, to some extent, equivalent to those grandmaster martial artists.
Zhang Shiping half-squatted down, his gaze parallel to Congcong. In his eyes, Zhang Shiping saw the wisdom that was as condensed as water. This can no longer be called a divine beast, the divine side of his nature has completely overwhelmed the beast nature. If it weren't for the fact that part of the veins of the Quercus Mountains were devoured by the desolate beasts, he would probably have been granted the position of a god by heaven.
However, looking back, the golden altar that constantly attracts the sun spirit to settle in the leylines, even if there is a desolate beast, it is only a matter of time before there is a god in front of him.
"The name of the god I obey is Taiyi, and he is the mountain god of the Yin Mountain of the Kongsang Mountain system. ”
Zhang Shiping said very solemnly to his subordinates.
"So, I remembered. ”
Congcong nodded, his expression was quite solemn. Although he did not look different from a normal beast, no one would find his behavior comical because of this. Such beings deserve the respect of all mortals.
"Come with me. The rat never accepted reality, and over the course of a year, it had broken a lot of runes. I'm going to trouble Hua Xu's little girl again. ”
From the cong led the five people to the east of the mountain, walking, talking.
