Chapter 2 Zangjiao Thatched Cottage, Cleaning Up the Autumn Water and Spring Clouds

When Xingyan kidnapped Yingfu and escaped by the waterway, it was already getting dark. When the red sun in the western sky finally sets under the sea, a huge black curtain envelops the vast ocean. At this time, the sea water above his head still had the heat of the day, but the young man who was below the shallow surface of the sea only felt that the sea water around him was cold to the bone.

At this time, the night is shrouded, the sea is boundless, and the salty sea water is pitch black, like a ghost, very terrifying. It's just that being in the dark night of annihilation during the escape makes Xingyan feel particularly cordial. Rushing through the water, occasionally turning his head to look around, he saw Qiong Wei following closely with a solemn expression. Seeing a firm face on her soft face, the young man who was originally full of grief and anger suddenly felt a warmth in his heart, and unconsciously choked in his throat.

The mood was slightly turbulent, and Xingyan subconsciously clamped his arm and held the witch under his coercion more firmly.

Thus they raced through the icy black waters, until the water above them grew brighter, and the two captives approached their destination. It turned out that the trip was expected to go to the place where he was going to hide and hide, which was a huge water in the wilderness near the southwest Haikou - Guanze. From Lingyi Xueyi's fall to the Demon Clan's resolute abduction of the Demon Palace Master in the evening, it was only six or seven hours. But in just half a day, Xingyan has planned all the strategies for retreat. The geography of this irrigation was learned from the mouths of the two wild gods of the mountains and rivers, Red Tiger and Qingqi, when I was chatting the day before yesterday.

Ever since he intended to kidnap an important demon clan as a hostage, Xingyan has been pondering how to escape the eyes and ears of that powerful heavenly demon after robbing people. Since the tiger's mouth is extracting teeth, it is natural to pay special attention to the escape after that. After pondering for a long time, he decided to hide in a swampy wetland, relying on the miasma and water vapor to avoid the eyes and ears of the heavenly demon with extremely strong fire mana.

With this in mind, when he saw the water in front of him gradually turning from blue to blue, and then to ochre, he knew that he was approaching his destination. All the way to the water, from the South China Sea, to the mouth of the Red River on land, and then along the ochre river upstream, not long after, they came to the southwest wilderness of the vast swampy wetland, irrigation.

Thousands of miles have come, and when he approaches this swamp filled with water and trees, Xingyan's tense mind can finally relax a little.

"Boom" broke through the water, jumped ashore from a place where water and grass were sparse, and Xingyan saw that under the low rain clouds in front of him, a large broad-leaved green forest covered the sky and the sun, and there was a huge water vapor like a violent wind, which seemed to rush people away in a trance.

Just now, the Red River, which Qiong Wei was tracing upstream, just passed by the edge of the irrigation river, took away some water vapor and red sand, and then turned a corner and meandered upstream. When they arrived at the shrub, Xingyan took the hostages, trampled on the half-submerged green grass, and hurried to the depths of the swamp with Qiong Wei.

Walking in the swamp for the first time, although Xingyan and Qiong Wei's body skills are very agile, they are still one foot high and one foot low, and they are quite embarrassed. Of course, there are occasionally some hidden and dangerous swamp traps, which will never pose a fatal danger to Xingyan Qiongwei;

It was about the end of the morning, and it was the time of the most life in this barren swamp. The wetland is full of sprawling water trees, fat green leaves are greedily inhaling muddy water vapor, and among the verdant grass and trees that are so green that water can flow, countless insects and moths are flying, looking for their own food. Beneath them, the dark green swamp water was slowly swirling and flowing at an imperceptible speed, soaking the rotting grass at the bottom of the water, and puzzling bubbles from time to time.

The first time I was in Daze, for the two of them, the most peculiar thing was the birds and beasts they saw along the way. Walking on such an inaccessible swamp and grass road, they did not alarm the birds and beasts that infested the grass along the way. Perhaps because there were few human tracks in the past, these birds and beasts were not afraid when they saw the awakening. For some time, there is even a large group of snow-white egrets and waterfowl dancing with them, looking back at the past, a large area of white flowers, it is spectacular and beautiful.

Different from the mountains and lakes of Raozhou and Luofu in the past, these water birds in the irrigation in front of you, except for this group of snow-white herons, are all colorful and bright, adding a different color to this swamp full of thick and light green. Of course, in this swamp full of vigorous vegetation, there are also some ferocious beasts. It's just that these beasts in the wilderness seem to be very sensitive, and when they smell the breath of these living people from afar, they all droop their heads and quietly retreat into the distance.

The southern wilderness shrub mentioned by this Qingyu Ze monster is really very vast, and after walking for more than an hour, I woke up and saw a suitable hiding place. Not far ahead, there is a woodland surrounded by water and grass, and in the middle of the woodland, a corner of thatched huts peeks out under the shade of green leaves. When I got closer, I saw the whole picture of the hut and saw that the roof was in the shape of a steep triangle, so that the rain could flow smoothly. The woodland in the water, where the hut is located, is like an isolated island, surrounded by clear streams, flowing slowly over a section of fallen tree trunks, bringing up a fluffy green water weed.

It seems that this irrigated rainforest is not completely uninhabited. The steeple hut is supposed to be a resting place for local indigenous hunters to hunt in the swamp rainforest.

Seeing that the stream is now rising, submerging the broken timber that is likely to be used as a road and bridge, he guesses that the hut should be uninhabited for the time being. Thinking so, he beckoned, swept up like a roc, dotted the water on the stream flowing in all directions, and came to the forest house with Qiong Wei to check. As he expected, some of the crude utensils in the cottage were all covered with dust and cobwebs, and it seemed that the owner of the house had not lived in it for a long time. So in the midst of the cry of waterfowl and finch, Xingyan put Yingfu in the open space in the house, and used this grass house as a place to stay for the next few days.

Gossip was skipped, and when the groggy demon palace master woke up, he found that his hands and feet were sore, and his whole body couldn't move.

"I'm ......"

You let out a sigh of relief, and Ying looked around, especially when she saw the young man who was staring at her solemnly, she suddenly came to her senses. When he remembered everything before, Yingfu was a little confused: "...... Strange, why was I like to fall asleep just now?"

"Didn't I cast a spell to resist before this thief became obsessed with me? ”

The witch who had regained her memory was puzzled, she had originally resisted with the power of the Heavenly Demons, trying to stay awake secretly, but now it was clear that she had been unconscious just now. When I wake up now, I not only feel weak, but also have a dull pain in my forehead.

Tilting her head and thinking for a while, Yingfu suddenly woke up: Now is the time to be in a daze!

So she struggled to move, and the witch who was kneeling on the ground curled up took out her former majesty and shouted at the majestic voice of the young man who was staring at her: "What a demon! What have you done to this palace?"

Listening to her angry words, Xingyan suddenly breathed a sigh of relief: "Fortunately, it turned out that he was not dead." ”

After saying this, no matter what Yingfu thought, Xingyan told her honestly: "You asked me what I did? Ahem, since I am a demon, I naturally have to cast a spell!"

As soon as she heard this, Yingfu quickly looked down, and sure enough, she saw a thin piece of bark on each of her legs and ankles. On the thin bark of the pale yellow tree, there seem to be strange patterns drawn with purple juice, and at a glance it is a talisman that is good used by the Taoist sect in the world. At this time, the bark of the tree is like silk, and the girl's jade feet are crystal clear, and it looks quite good with it. However, at this time, Ying Yu was not interested in appreciating them, and after looking at these two rough talismans, the little demon lord sneered, pouted and said with a disdainful face: "Ho! Such a tattered talisman, and you still want to trap the palace master?!"

As he spoke, before the kind-hearted Qiong Wei could remind him, the little demon lord who felt that he had fully recovered worked hard, and wanted to fly up as usual to hit the rude young man. It's just that as soon as she struggled, the two firmly attached tree talismans on her feet were clear and prosperous, and in an instant, they were like the scorching sun shining on the snow, and in an instant, the chaotic power of the heavenly demons that she had finally condensed was completely dissolved!

Seeing her embarrassed appearance like this, Xingyan suddenly relieved his heart, and laughed and said, "Ha! It doesn't matter if it's a broken charm or a broken spell, as long as it can trap you!"

After that, he ignored it and went to clean up the utensils in the house with Qiong Wei. So since then, the angry witch has been scolded as a "thief" and "scoundrel", and it has been lingering in this grass hut in total. It's just that these are useless to wake up; back then, in the wells of Raozhou City, I don't know how many worse scoundrels I have seen; now Yingfu's angry scolding is repetitive and has no new meaning, and he only thinks she's reciting a toothache curse when he hears too much, and he doesn't care.

After arguing like this for a while, the angry wayward witch finally found that her insult had no effect. No matter what he said, that guy only pretended to be deaf and was not angry, but it was himself, who was so noisy that his mouth was dry and his fire was rising, and it was really not worth it. The little demon lord of the Weizhen Demon Domain is also decisive, and when he thinks of this, the scolding in his mouth immediately stops, and he suddenly quiets down. The change was so fast that the two busy figures stopped and gave her a strange look.

After calming down, and then looking at Xingyan's unmoved appearance, Ying Yu was secretly surprised in his heart: "Look at his kung fu of pretending to be deaf and dumb, he is extremely skilled, I'm afraid that these pure cultivation schools in the mortal world are really a little strange!"

After closing his mouth and thinking for a while, the little demon lord who had originally come to find something fresh felt a little bored, and he wanted to see what was new, but now he didn't even have anyone to talk to. With a roll of her eyes, the little witch who was curled up in Jiaona looked down at the disheveled and embarrassed appearance on her body, and shouted at Xingyan, ready to cause a topic: "Hey!"

"I said, man, are you a gentleman?"

Hearing her ask, Xingyan glanced back at her and quickly replied, "Of course not." Don't you call me a thief? ”

With that, he took a piece of water-soaked cloth handed by Qiong Wei, and continued to wipe down the cooking utensils that could still be used in the stove.

Listening to Xingyan's answer, Ying, who was having countless afterwords, suddenly froze, and only felt very depressed. The little demon lord, who was once feared and cherished by tens of thousands of people, pouted like this, and sat on the side sulking infinitely aggrieved. When I sit bored, I can't help but think about why I was so easily trapped by this teenager. Unlike Elder Fierce Plough, Ying Yu had been paying attention to Lingyi for a long time, and incidentally knew that this young man was just a small Taoist priest of a Dao sect. Knowing this, Ying was particularly confused, knowing that even the most outstanding young hero in the world would still be vulnerable if he fought against her.

"Could it be that after he was teased by me last time, he went to practice some evil art and deliberately tried to restrain me?"

The hostage, who was snubbed by the victim, began to think crankily in a corner.

The days in the southern wilderness are hot and humid and short, and such a noisy day is almost over before you know it. When the white sun that baked the swamp set in the west, the rain clouds that seemed to be forever low overhead also quietly dispersed. When the chirping of the worms and the water frogs are intertwined, the starry night will descend on the rainforest.

Coming out of the stuffy house, Xingyan and Qiong Wei ate the wood picked from the forest with the spring water in the green scoop. At this time, their important hostages were naturally swept out of the house, leaning against the bottom of a giant tree's air roots, so that the two of them could keep an eye on them.

The hustle and bustle of the day has finally passed, and everything seems to be going smoothly as expected. Looking at the witch next to him who was full of anger, Xingyan seemed to see a clear spring, which calmed his originally anxious heart.

It's just that at such a peaceful moment, he suddenly heard a clear "ticking" sound in the mixed and harmonious singing of insects and frogs.

"Huh?"

When the surprised young man turned his head to look, he saw that the little girl who had been busy with him all day long had become quiet at the moment, holding the green scoop of water, and was stunned. Under the starry sky, he could see clearly, and a few thin ripples were gently swaying in the water scoop held by Xiao Qiongwei in both hands.

"Oh, it was Qiong Wei who cried. ”

When the awakening was seen, the pure-minded little girl suddenly burst into tears, and the crystal tears flowed down her eyes and slid silently down her cheeks on both sides.

"I, I want Sister Xueyi ......"

In the starlight night, listening to the innocent girl sobbing and choking after saying this, the hall master of the four seas, who had been dealing with it stoically, finally couldn't help but feel sad at this time.
