Chapter 6: The Dawn of the Wind and the Moon

Mo Xue and Zhong Yun left the town and didn't stop until evening before they stopped. In the next few days, they went over the mountains and mountains, so it was very annoying.

"Why are there so many mountains!" Mo Xue complained.

Zhong Yundao: "Ordinary heart, the more you go to the back of the mountain, the more steep it becomes!"

Mo Xue sat on the ground and said angrily, "Ouch, I really don't want to leave." Zhong Yun said: "You have to go now even if you don't want to go, you can't turn back, it's a long way to turn back." ”

Mo Xue reluctantly got up and continued on her way. They climbed over a mountain, and there was a river in front of them, and Mo Xue immediately became energetic, because there were fish in the river!

"Look at the fish!" Mo Xue pointed to the river and said, but Zhong Yun said, "So what, I can't catch it." Mo Xue said with a gloomy face: "If you can't catch it, it doesn't mean I can't catch it!" said and pulled out her sword, jumped into the river, and plunged into the water when she saw it, she quickly inserted a few fish ashore, Zhong Yun was stunned when she saw it on the shore.

Mo Xue came up from the river, and her upper body was already soaked. Zhong Yun said: "I didn't expect you to be an expert at catching fish." Mo Xue said proudly: "Of course, I'm wandering around the countryside and fields, isn't catching fish casual?" Zhong Yun said: "It's also, unlike me, I don't know anything." ”

Mo Xue dissected the fish clean, and then skewered the fish with a sword and roasted it on the fire. She also got another fish and boiled it in her iron bowl. Then she took out a few bamboo tubes from the bamboo basket, opened a bamboo tube, first poured some oil out, then changed a bamboo tube, poured some salt, and then changed a bamboo tube, poured some soy sauce, Zhong Yun on the side was even more stunned.

"Hey, you're a cornucopia in this bamboo basket, you have everything, oil, salt, sauce and vinegar, and bowls, everything, I'll enjoy it." ”

Mo Xue looked at the bowl and said, "That's it, people, you have to be a little prepared when you go out, otherwise you won't be able to live away from home for a few months." Also, as the saying goes, relying on the mountains to eat the mountains and relying on the water to eat the water, there are treasures everywhere in the mountains and waters, if you don't use them, you will starve to death sooner or later. You can't just have money, and many times you can't buy food with money. ”

"You have a point, that's why I'm going to starve to death without money. ”

After the fish was cooked, Mo Xue gave two to Zhong Yun, Zhong Yun hadn't opened the meat for a few days, and saw that the fish was already salivating, so as soon as he got it in his hand, he was reincarnated like a hungry ghost and gnawed it.

When Mo Xue saw him like this, she said, "You slow down, dare to reincarnate a hungry ghost, and you are not afraid of fish bones stuck in your throat!"

Mo Xue picked up the bowl, set up a platform, took a pair of chopsticks, and ate the fish soup by herself. Zhong Yun saw her drinking soup and swallowing saliva again, Mo Xue saw that he was so eager, so she handed it to him and said, "Give it, don't drink it all." Zhong Yun took a few sips and said, "Ah, what a beautiful fish soup!" Mo Xue saw that his expression was not pleasing to the eye, snatched it back, and said, "Eat your grilled fish!"

After eating and drinking, Mo Xue caught more than a dozen fish to dry, and let Zhong Yun carry him on the road.

The next few days were all mountain roads, with no villages and towns in sight, and the more you walked, the more desolate it became. However, Mo Xue is also powerful, and along the way, she can always find something to eat, which makes Zhong Yun admire the five bodies.

It is said that one afternoon, while walking in the mountains, they happened to see a pheasant caught in a thorn, which made them overjoyed and immediately caught it. Zhong Yun tied his legs with a rope and took them away. In the evening, they found a good plot, picked up a pile of dry wood, made a rack, and then plucked the pheasant's feathers, and Mo Xue took out all its entrails and roasted them with swords. By the way, Mo Xue took out the mushrooms she had found during the day and the shiitake mushrooms that had been dried before, soaked them in a bamboo tube, and then took out the iron bowl to cook the soup.

Zhong Yun said excitedly: "Haha, tonight there is roast pheasant and mushroom and mushroom soup to eat." ”

Mo Xue said: "You will also eat ready-made, you won't know anything!"

Zhong Yun said with a look of grievance: "I can't blame me, I have lived in Chang'an since I was a child, and I have never even seen a pig killed, let alone in the wild, I can't do anything, so I can only rely on you, and you are also to blame for the hard work." He smiled at her as he spoke.

Mo Xue shook her head, thinking to herself that she had encountered such a burden, this will not be that, it will all depend on her alone. The pheasant was cooked, Mo Xue saw that there was little pheasant meat, and she still couldn't bear it in her heart, so she gave him the extra side, Zhong Yun saw it at a glance, and said: "It's still here for you, after all, you caught it, or you made it." Mo Xue said: "Forget it, I don't need so much." The two of them ate pheasants, and when they saw that the soup was cooked, they took a bamboo tube, and one poured half of it, and the mushrooms and shiitake mushrooms were also divided in half. Zhong Yun really couldn't help it, so he gave her the mushrooms in his bamboo tube. Seeing this, Mo Xue excused herself and said, "No need!" Zhong Yun said: "It's okay, you were supposed to contribute, not to mention that you are still a girl, so you should be allowed to eat more." ”

Mo Xue thought to herself that this guy was good-hearted, but he was used to living the life of a son-in-law, and he didn't know how to survive outside, and her favorability towards him was much higher at this time. After the two finished eating, Zhong Yun rushed to wash the dishes and chopsticks, washed the bamboo tube, and went to get a few large firewood to make the fire burn longer.

The two sat by the fire, Zhong Yun already liked to talk, so he asked Mo Xue: "By the way, your home is so far away, you are still a girl, why do you choose to go to Jishi Mountain?" When Mo Xue heard this, she exhaled deeply and said, "I didn't want to, but if I didn't come, my father would force me to marry, but I didn't want to marry." ”

"Ahh

"Yes, otherwise, but if I come out, I can't bear my father, and I will be a relative of my father in this world. ”

"What about your mother?"

Mo Xue shook her head: "I don't know what my mother looks like until now, my father said that I was born less than a year ago, and my mother fell ill and died, so my father brought me up alone." ”

"Then how did you meet the immortals?"

"When I was eight years old, my father broke his leg, and the fairy master passed by, so he cured my father's leg and gave me my father's sword. ”

Zhong Yun snorted, and said: "It's great for a girl to dare to come out alone, I'm not as good as you." ”

Mo Xue looked loveless, and just said, "Don't say it, I'm sleepy, sleep!"

Zhong Yun also stopped talking, just sleep.

On the bleak night, the cold was getting heavier and heavier, and I didn't know how long I had been sleeping, when suddenly a cold wind blew, Mo Xue's body twitched, and she woke up immediately. At this time, there was a cold moon hanging in the sky, which was very desolate, and there was only a pile of ashes left in the fire on the ground. As soon as she saw Zhong Yun, he was curled up, and Mo Xue piled the dry firewood on top of the ashes, wanting to relight the fire.

At this time, Mo Xue suddenly heard the sound of thatch in the distance, and her heart was cold, could it be some ghost. She cautiously picked up her sword and looked into the distance. It didn't take long for a flash of inspiration in the distance, two figures flashed by, and then they heard the sound of a fight on the other side of the woods, mixed with shouting. She immediately shook Zhong Yun: "Wake up, wake up, wake up!"

"What's wrong?" Zhong Yun woke up in his sleep, very reluctantly.

"I just saw a figure flash over there, it looks like there's still a fight!"

"What, why didn't I see it?" Zhong Yun rubbed his eyes, he didn't believe it, so he went to sleep again.

Mo Xue didn't get angry, grabbed Zhong Yun, and shook him a few times in a row: "You wake me up!"

"Oh, what are you doing, you, sleep well, get nervous here. ”

Mo Xue said angrily: "Who is nervous, I'll tell you the right thing." ”

Zhong Yun was really afraid of her, so he got up and said, "Okay, okay, I'm afraid of you, where is there a figure flashing, where is there a fight?"

Mo Xue secretly scolded him in her heart for being a tempeh, so she pulled and said, "You will know if you come with me." ”

Zhong Yun couldn't resist her, and was pulled all the way by her, and sure enough, as he got closer, Zhong Yun heard the sound of fighting. Zhong Yun was stunned: "There are really people fighting!"

The two of them approached, hid in the grass and took a look, and they were really shocked by what they saw. I saw a black-covered man with a snake tail and a woman with several snow-white tails and white hair. The man was black, not a single point was white, the woman's whole body was snow-white, her hair was black, but the ears on the woman's head were not human ears, but a pair of fox ears, and even her face was not exactly like a human face, but a bit of a fox.

Mo Xue and Zhong Yun looked at each other, especially Mo Xue was the first time she had seen such a strange thing, she whispered: "They are people and ghosts, why are none of them human?" Zhong Yun whispered: "Of course they are not people, they are monsters." Mo Xue exclaimed: "He, he, he, he and he are monsters?" Zhong Yun replied: "This still needs to be asked, that man is a snake tail, a snake demon, and that woman has a fox appearance, a fox demon." ”

"Huh, fox demon?" Mo Xue's face was full of doubts, "But why does she have so many tails?"

Zhong Yundao: "You haven't read the book, there is no record in the book, there is a country in the east, there is a strange race living in it, they are born with spirituality, just like people, there will be one more tail every hundred years, and after eight hundred years, there will be nine tails, so it is called the nine-tailed fox." ”

Mo Xue suddenly realized: "It turned out to be a nine-tailed fox, no wonder there are so many tails, I counted them, wow, she has six tails!." ”

Zhong Yun said: "That means that she has five hundred years of cultivation." ”

Mo Xue had never seen a monster, let alone a nine-tailed fox, and she watched it with relish for a while, and she didn't want to leave. At this time, Zhong Yun said: "Let's go quickly, neither of them can we afford to provoke." Mo Xue didn't have the heart to pay attention to him, but said, "Let me see it again." ”

"Oh, let's go quickly, otherwise it will be miserable if we are discovered!" Zhong Yun was anxious, but Mo Xue said: "If you want to go, you can go, I'll take a look." ”

"You're dying?"

It is said that the snake demon and the nine-tailed fox are inseparable, but it is obvious that the snake demon has the advantage. I saw that the snake demon pounced, and the nine-tailed fox stretched out his hand to block it, but the tail of the snake demon coiled over and entangled the nine-tailed fox. The nine-tailed fox not only has to block the attack of the snake demon, but also to prevent it from being entangled and suffocating, and the pressure is doubled. She felt that her body was wrapped too tightly, and it was difficult to breathe, so she finally couldn't bear it anymore, and immediately pulled out a hand and grabbed the snake demon's tail, but the snake demon slapped her on the head, and the two demons retreated at the same time. However, the snake demon was only scratched on the body, but the nine-tailed fox sat on the ground, spitting blood from its mouth.

The snake demon looked proudly at the nine-tailed fox sitting on the ground, and said with a smile: "How about it, little fox, I said to hand over the fairy grass, but you just didn't listen, now it's okay, I only have half a life left after being beaten, don't you want to give it to me in the end?"

"Immortal grass?" Mo Xue and Zhong Yun were startled at the same time, looking at each other.

The nine-tailed fox sat on the ground, looked at the snake demon, and said coldly: "It's just that I am not as good as others and lost to you, but if I want to hand over the fairy grass on my body, it is absolutely impossible for me to hand it over, even if I lose my life, I will never hand it over to you!"

The snake demon smiled: "You little fox, your mouth is quite hard, you still talk like this when you are dying, it seems that I have to clean you up today!"

The nine-tailed fox said: "The fairy grass on my body is a gift from a god, he wants me to take it with me but is not allowed to eat it, it is a token of my trip to the sacred mountain, if it weren't for this, I would have eaten it a long time ago!"

"What does this have to do with me?

"The god said that if someone wants to take the fairy grass, they are not allowed to eat it, otherwise they will be punished, and I will not eat it today, but I will never leave it to you!" After the nine-tailed fox finished speaking, he took out a green grass from his body, and the grass was glowing with spiritual light, and at this time, Mo Xue Zhongyun was shocked: "Could it be that this fox is also going to Jishi Mountain?"

"No!" exclaimed the basilisk. Seeing that the nine-tailed fox was about to tear the fairy grass to pieces, at this time, Mo Xue jumped out of the grass and shouted, "Stop!"

In an instant, the two of them stopped, his blood-red eyes immediately stared at Mo Xue, and the hand of the nine-tailed fox also stopped in mid-air, and before he could catch the fairy grass, even Zhong Yun was stunned. However, Zhong Yun immediately came back to his senses and scolded in his mouth: "You little girl killed me, it's really a brain in water." ”

The snake demon turned around and said with a smile: "Hehe, I didn't expect two more to pop up, or humans!"

Mo Xue stammered: "People, people, what's wrong with humans, you stinky monster, stop me, don't let you hurt that fox!"

When the snake demon heard this, he was happy: "Ouch, a little human girl actually took care of the monster's affairs, and her courage is not small." ”

Mo Xue puffed her chest and pouted, "Why can't you care about it, not to mention that the two of us still have something to do with that fox!"

"Tell me, what's the matter?" the snake demon looked at Mo Xue with interest, and folded his arms.

Mo Xue turned to Zhong Yun and said, "Take out your fairy grass." Zhong Yun had no choice but to take out the fairy grass, and when the snake demon saw it, his eyes immediately lit up, but the nine-tailed fox was stunned and said, "You, you also went to Jishi Mountain?" Mo Xue turned to the nine-tailed fox and said, "Yes, so we are the same door, and the same door is being bullied, how can we stand idly by?"

After Mo Xue finished speaking, the snake demon laughed, Mo Xue asked him, "What are you laughing at?" The snake demon stopped laughing, and said: "I laugh at you really can't help myself, I originally earned a little fox and a fairy grass that is more than five hundred years old, but I didn't expect you two to jump out and give another fairy grass and two people, this is really a double happiness." Oh, little girl, I see that you look so watery, and you have fine skin and tender meat, it must taste good, let me take a bite and try it. The snake demon came over as she spoke, Mo Xue realized the danger, she didn't know how to draw her sword with the scabbard, but she was hit by the snake demon, they both fell to the ground, and the sword was thrown aside.

Zhong Yun said: "It's over, it's all your fault, you have no ability to be strong, and now your life is not guaranteed." ”

The nine-tailed fox said: "You shouldn't stand up for me, the result will affect you." ”

Mo Xue said: "There is nothing that is not involved, everyone is a disciple of the immortal master, and they must help each other." ”

The snake demon walked over slowly, smiled and said, "Little girl, it turns out that you are all in a group, but your meat is so fragrant, let me take a bite and taste it first." ”

"Ahh The basilisk grabbed her hands with one hand, then leaned over to bite her. The nine-tailed fox immediately shouted, "Don't hurt her!" and she pounced, knocking the snake demon to the ground and scuffling together. Mo Xue was let go at this time, reached out and touched her throat, she was almost strangled to death by the snake demon just now.

It is said that the nine-tailed fox and the snake demon scuffled together, and they were quickly pushed away by the snake demon. The snake demon rolled around, jumped up, and shot down the top of the nine-tailed fox's head with one palm, Mo Xue and Zhong Yun exclaimed at the same time, and the nine-tailed fox blocked it with both hands at the same time, so that it was not hit by the snake demon's palm. But she was already seriously injured, where could she stop the power of the snake demon? She was soon shocked and flew up, crashed into a big tree, and then fell to the ground hard, spitting blood all over the ground.

"Okay, you little fox, see if I don't kill you!" The snake demon said that he was about to go over again, but Mo Xue pounced and hugged the snake demon, the snake demon shook hard, Mo Xue was shocked and flew out a few feet away, and fell to the ground in unbearable pain. And the snake demon seemed to have to kill the nine-tailed fox, and continued to go over and came to the nine-tailed fox. The snake demon said coldly, "Go die!" Then he sealed with one palm and hit the nine-tailed fox on the head.

Just when Mo Xue was lying on the ground and could not do anything, and Zhong Yun was frightened stupidly, a golden light flashed, shaking the snake demon away with one palm, and repelling the snake demon by the way.

"Who is it?" The snake demon looked around, but there was nothing unusual, even Mo Xue and the others were puzzled.

At this moment, the black Tianxing Sword on the ground suddenly emitted a golden light, and the black surface began to fall off, revealing a golden layer inside. The Excalibur shone brightly, and several people couldn't help but reach out to cover their eyes.

"What's going on?" Mo Xue said in her heart.

At this time, the sword was automatically unsheathed, although the sword was still lying motionless on the ground after being unsheathed, but the sword body was glowing with countless dense golden brilliance, which was like silk threads wrapped above the ground, and soon formed a golden ellipsoid in the shape of a silkworm chrysalis that was taller than a person, and finally the golden brilliance on the long sword dissipated. The golden silkworm chrysalis erected on the ground then emitted a more dazzling light, and when the light dissipated, everyone also opened their eyes, and the scene at this time really stunned everyone.

A man stood facing them, his skin was white and delicate, his face was like a crown of jade, he was heroic, he was wearing a golden robe, and his waist was tied with an emerald jade belt, and the tassels around his waist were like a waterfall. The clothes are embroidered with dragon patterns, and the edges of the clothes are silver patterns, which look very luxurious, and there is a faint golden glow on the body, which is also like the water vapor of a waterfall to the ground. He went to that station, and was astonished.

Mo Xue had never seen such a handsome and luxurious man, and she was so shocked that she couldn't speak. In fact, the others, especially the nine-tailed fox, looked at the man with straight eyes, forgetting that they were seriously injured.

"Who are you?" the basilisk asked the man.

The man replied, "I am the sword spirit of the Skywalker Sword!"

"Sword Spirit?" Mo Xue Zhong Yun Nine-Tailed Fox all had doubts.

"Sword Spirit?" the basilisk asked, he didn't seem convinced.

The man said, "You go, I don't want to hurt you!"

The snake demon said coldly: "No matter who you are, if you want me to go, you have to see if you have the ability." ”

The man said: "I know your ability, isn't it a thousand-year-old snake demon, and in my eyes you are not a weak?"

"What a big breath, I want to see what you are capable of!" The snake demon was very unconvinced, and after speaking, his hands were sealed, and he shot out towards the man, the man just smiled, he didn't bother to move, the snake demon's mana hit him and didn't react at all, the snake demon was surprised.

"You, who the hell are you?" the basilisk pointed at him, his expression incredulous.

"I said I'm a sword spirit, you just don't believe me. You go, or I'm really going to do it!" After the man finished speaking, a flash of light flashed in his right hand, and the snake demon knew that he was invincible, so he was so frightened that he hurriedly ran away.

Mo Xue was stunned, the man walked up to Mo Xue, reached out and touched Mo Xue's forehead, so frightened that Mo Xue hurriedly retreated. The man said, "What are you nervous about, I'm treating your injuries." Mo Xue came back to her senses, the man approached her again, stretched out his hand and touched her forehead, Mo Xue immediately felt relaxed and comfortable. The man came to the nine-tailed fox again, squatted down, and as soon as the nine-tailed fox saw him, he quickly lowered his head, and the man said softly: "Come, little fox, I will treat your injuries." The nine-tailed fox raised his head, but his eyes still didn't dare to look at him. The man grabbed one of her hands and palm-to-hand hers. In fact, the hands of the nine-tailed fox are different from those of humans, although they are palms, they are the claws of foxes, and they are covered with white hair.

Mo Xue and Zhong Yun walked over and watched the man treat the nine-tailed fox's injuries. I saw that the two of them were shining in the palms, and after a while, the man let go of his hand and said, "You're fine." ”

"Thank you. The nine-tailed fox thanked him.

The man got up, and the nine-tailed fox got up too. The man said to Mo Xue: "You have been holding me for the past few months, but you have tired me, don't do this in the future!"

"Huh, I'll take you to barbecue?"

"What do you say?"

Zhong Yun next to him pulled Mo Xue and said, "You don't know yet, the sword in your hand is him!"

"Isn't it, it's really you?" Mo Xue blinked, she didn't seem to believe it.

The man said, "Then can there be a fake?"

Mo Xue scratched her head, looked at the man with a smile, and said, "I'm sorry, I can't help it." ”

The man said again: "Okay, the matter is over, let's get to know each other, my name is Fengyu!" After speaking, he wrote the word Fengyu on the ground.

"My name is Mo Xue!"

"My name is Zhong Yun!"

The nine-tailed fox slurped and said, "I, my name is Xiaoyue." ”

"Hello Sister Xiaoyue!"

Fengyu smiled and said, "You little girl has a very sweet mouth." ”

Mo Xue smiled at Xiaoyue, and Xiaoyue smiled too.

Fengyu said again: "Let's go back to the original place." ”
