Chapter 22 There is no way out of the mountains and rivers
After Hu Xiao and Xianmi left Ping'an Town, the residents of the town continued to live a peaceful life, and there was no difference from the past. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 infoIt's just that Li Xiaoming was forcibly taken home by Aunt Li. Even Zhang Sheng didn't know where he went. As a result, the top pipe restaurant is now an empty house.
The catchers in the yamen continued to run around every day, but Li Qingming patrolled every day and did not forget to go to the top crown restaurant to take a walk, but when he saw that no one had returned, he couldn't hide the disappointment on his face. Xianmi said goodbye, which was a great blow to him. He thought that with their friendship, at least she would come to say goodbye to him before leaving, but in fact this girl didn't tell anyone when she left.
Seeing that it will be a month before Hu Xiao and Xianmi leave Ping'an Town. Li Qingming felt as uncomfortable as ants in his heart, and he couldn't wait to go out of the city to find them immediately. If it weren't for Shangguan Yongsheng staring at him all day long, he would have put on his wings and flown away. This night, when he patrolled to the vicinity of the Dingguan Restaurant, he couldn't help but go in and take a look, but how could there be people in the dark house. He was so disappointed that he was about to leave, but he was seen by Shangguan Yongsheng. "When the boss comes back, ask him to check if there is anything missing in the house, even if there is a lack of cockroaches, you have to return it. Shangguan Yongsheng looked at him with a gloating expression and preached. This guy deliberately came to ridicule me, Li Qingming couldn't help but ask, "Don't pretend." That girl is gone, I don't believe you don't want her. ”
"It's a pity that there is no one to fight with me. However, even if she is still here, the pervert who secretly stands on the roof of the house every day and peeps will be bombarded down. Shangguan Yongsheng gave him a blank look.
"What a freak. Such a cute girl, you think about fighting with people all day long. Or I know how to pity the fragrance and cherish the jade, we are of the same age, talented and beautiful, and we are a natural pair. Li Qingming straightened his clothes and said confidently.
"Your face is enough to attract the average girl. Do you think that girl is going to be a normal girl?"
Li Qingming was silent. It was not that he did not fail to hear the meaning of Shangguan Yongsheng's words, and for a long time he had vaguely noticed that Xianmi did not seem to be mortal. But who would associate such a lovely little girl with a murderous goblin? he let out a long sigh and said unconcernedly, "So what? I like her to be so cute, even if she is a mouse." ”
After finishing speaking, Shangguan Yongsheng took advantage of his inattention to really grab a mouse and threw it on his back, so frightened that he immediately lay on the ground and rolled several times before getting up.
"I'll go to your uncle's, and your master's new clothes will be soiled by you. Li Qingming got up from the ground and was so angry that he drew his sword to duel him.
"Aren't you going back to do the laundry, the moon is fine tonight, so don't patrol and swim with me in the moat." Shangguan Yongsheng stuck out his tongue at him, flew away, and fled.
"Stop!" Li Qingming also chased after him.
As the night wore on, the town fell into calm again.

Early in the morning of the second day, as soon as Feng Lin arrived at the yamen, he rarely saw Shangguan Yongsheng and Li Qingming sitting upright on the bluestone slab outside the yamen, and the rest of the catchers did not go to patrol, but stood neatly at the head of the yamen, not knowing what they were discussing. Is it possible to go up and down on a mission? Impossible, what kind of mission can such a small and remote place have? He entered the yamen suspiciously, but heard the heart-rending cry of the county magistrate.
"Oh, my son, my son of nine generations, how do you tell my father to explain to the ancestors and ancestors. Ah~ah~ah~"
Feng Lin stopped, and hurriedly inquired with Li Qingming and Shangguan Yongsheng, only to learn that the son of the county lord had almost died by practicing the art of cultivating immortals in private. Fortunately, he was found fainted by the servant in his own home, otherwise he would have really died.
"When you are young, you want to live forever. I think it's better to let the ghost catch him and eat him, and make him a lonely ghost, and he will live forever. Shangguan Yongsheng sneered.
Feng Lin didn't pay attention to his jokes, as the fast catcher of the yamen, it was inconvenient for him to get involved in the family affairs of the county master, so he could only order everyone to patrol first and wait for the dispatch.
In the evening of that day, the yamen issued an order: to make every effort to arrest the god stick Hu Xiao and his accomplices. But since Hu Xiao and the others are no longer in the town now, they must go out of the city to hunt them down. It's a hard job for the lazy catchers in town, so no one wants to take on this task.
Except, though. Li Qingming was very happy, and hurriedly went to ask the county master for help. He'd had had enough of staying in this town, and now was a great time to go find Xianmi. As the saying goes, don't miss the opportunity and don't come again, after getting the approval of the county magistrate, he secretly left the city without even packing his baggage. With such a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, he didn't want to be known by that bastard in Shangguan to ruin his good deeds.
Who knows, after Shangguan Yongsheng saw him sneakily leading the horse from the stable and leaving, he immediately went to tell Feng Lin. So, for some ulterior purpose, Feng Lin and Shangguan Yongsheng also left Ping'an Town together to chase Li Qingming.
Here, three men are chasing me. Over there, Xianmi also arrived at Qingqiu smoothly after a few days of driving. Qingqiu is the capital of the demon fox, and it is difficult for ordinary mortals to approach, so only the people of the Three Realms of Demons, Gods and Demons know where the entrance is. Xianmi had only heard of this place before, but this time it took a long time to get in. The nine-tailed demon fox is scheming, and the lynx clan has never dealt with the Qingqiu fox demon, but this time she can't care so much about saving Hu Xiao. She is weak now, and if she accidentally encounters the demon fox when picking herbs later, she needs to be patient carefully, otherwise she will not be able to save Lao Hu. She secretly made up her mind in her heart that no matter what happened, she would definitely complete the task assigned by her master.
The area of Qingqiu Mountain is not small, where will there be fairy grass. She walked along the Yingshui River for a long time, but she didn't see any trace of fairy grass. She first came to the sunny side of Qingqiu Mountain, and all that was exposed from the cliffs of the mountain was crystal jade. When illuminated by the sun, these jade stones bloom with a strange light. She had never seen such a strange scenery before, and she couldn't help but stop and look at it for a long time. In the past, there was also a crystal cave in Changyang Mountain, where the rock walls were all amethyst, like a fairyland. Later, after that massacre, it collapsed. I didn't expect that Qingqiu would have such a similarity to Changyang Mountain. There was a strange bird call in the air, and she came back to her senses, only to realize that she had been stunned for a long time. Since there is jade growing here, the jade is hard, and the fairy grass cannot grow here. Could it be that the fairy grass will grow on the shady side of Qingqiu?
She walked along the Yingshui River for a long time, but she didn't find the right direction. Just as she was at a loss, she noticed that the Yingshui River eventually emptied into a water. In the middle of the water, aquatic plants grow densely, and some strange-looking fish swim in between. These fish look a lot like the carp of the mortal world, but they are several times larger than the carp. The body of the fish is no different from that of ordinary carp, but the head of the fish is strangely like a human face. They gather together and make a peculiar bird call, which attracts the attention of Xianmi for a while.
"I'm so hungry. She licked her lips and touched her belly, wondering if she should eat them all. At this time, the human-faced monster fish in the water seemed to know her thoughts, and even opened his mouth to speak human words. "Daxian, don't eat us. Although we are big, the meat is slightly acidic, and it is not delicious. They cooed.
"It doesn't matter, I have only one good thing about being a person, I'm not a picky eater. Xianmi smiled maliciously.
"Daxian, let us live. We don't have any nutrients ourselves, and eating them won't help your cultivation. In exchange, we can tell you any questions you want to ask. ”
"Oh?" said Xianmi, a little surprised. These fish are trapped in this water all day long, like frogs at the bottom of a well, and can understand the affairs of heaven and earth? Could it be that they deliberately bluff me for their lives?
"Daxian, you are the lynx spirit of Changyang Mountain. Your father Xian Wei was once the king of the demon world, and your brother Xian Mo is now also in Qingqiu. ”
"What, my brother is also in Qingqiu?" Xian Mi was even more surprised, why is my brother here? Let's see what secrets they know.
"Then let me ask you three questions. If you answer all the questions to my satisfaction, I won't eat you. ”
"Ask God, we will know that there is no end to our words. ”
"I want to know, who instructed Fengmian to kill my father in the battle of Changyang Mountain? ”
"This ......" the strange fish collectively fell silent.
"You don't know, or don't you dare to say it?" Xianmi's doubts came to her mind again. She originally thought that the battle of Changyang was deliberately designed by Feng Mian to compete for the position of the Demon Emperor. But after Xian Mo forbade her to take revenge, things are far from being so simple.
"Great Immortal, forgive the little ones who don't dare to say it. This is a leak of heaven, and it will be punished by God, and the little one doesn't have the ability to say it. ”
"Okay. That doesn't count. I'll change the question again. I don't want to embarrass you, but if I can't answer the questions I ask, I'll have to eat you to fill my stomach. I have been in Qingqiu for three whole days, and I have been wandering here and getting lost, and my physical strength is seriously depleted. If you can answer my question to my satisfaction, I will not eat you. ”
"Thank you, Daisen. Thank you Daisen. Thank you Daxian ......"
"So, why is my brother Xian Mo in Qingqiu, what is he doing here?"
