Chapter 16: Danger lurks
Xiao Ran, Ziqin, and Yun Yao took the antidote to the poison of the Yin Bat, and after a day of rest, their health improved a lot. Seeing that the fox clan had no intention of staying, and they had important things to do, they needed to go to Yaowang Mountain to retrieve the soul restoration incense as soon as possible, so they didn't stay too much and decided to leave immediately.
They went through calamities, Xiao Ran thought that they had already died in the mouth of the Yin Bat, but he didn't expect that by chance, the fox woman was rescued from the Miao tribe. Xiao Ran remembered that before, looking for death and life, he was so ashamed. Seeing that the two of them were safe and sound, they were jumping around, and they inevitably cried with joy, with a little tears in the corners of their eyes, but they didn't know what to say for a while, but they felt that the love between them was one step closer.
Ziqin and Yun Yao walked in front, scolding and laughing along the way, like a pair of grudge couples, but they really wanted to envy Xiao Ran.
Xiao Ran walked behind them, looking into the depths of the peach blossoms from time to time. Won't she show up? Will we see you again?
Once, she pinned a peach blossom at the intersection here, her eyes, her tone, accompanied by her faint fragrance, vaguely in front of his eyes, the dark fragrance remained.
Her girlish feelings, her tears, her laughter, and her sorrow are in this ten-mile peach blossom, staying in that rainy season.
However, Xiao Ran was about to leave, but she didn't appear. There has never been such an expectation, and the smoke and rain of peach blossoms have not come for a long time.
That's it! Red edge is like the wind, and the mirror flower is a dream! That's it! After that, the world is from the south to the north, and it will be difficult to see each other again at the end of the world! Little fox, cherish, I will always keep you in my heart. He only hoped that he could see her one last time before leaving, but unfortunately, she never appeared! Xiao Ran looked lost and depressed, and he couldn't lift his spirits.
Seeing that Xiao Ran was sullen, Ziqin stepped forward and asked, "Brother Xiao, what's wrong with you?"
Yun Yao strode in front without looking back, and said coldly: "It's the heart that people are uncomfortable with!"
Ziqin always felt that Yun Yao was raising the bar, "How do you know?"
"I don't need to think about it, I must have fallen in love with someone's little fox, what a beautiful girl! If I were a man, I would marry her home!"
Ziqin wanted to comfort Xiao Ran, but he didn't know what to say, "It's because I don't understand this child's business, I have been cultivating behind closed doors for many years, and I am still alive today." β
"You deserve to be cumin, it's best that you all your life, you fish and wood head, clumsy and clumsy big wood, whoever girl will take a fancy to you, whoever takes a fancy to you is unlucky!"
"Hey? What you said is not right, what's wrong with my Ziqin, why can't people look down on it? We Qing cultivators want to cut off the seven emotions and six desires, besides, you are not alone!" Ziqin changed his words and said to Xiao Ran: "Xiao Ran, a good man is determined in all directions, it is better for us to go to the rivers and lakes to have a good time and make a vigorous heroic career!
"One day, I will become a big hero who stands up to the sky, protect the little fox, protect Brother Ziqin and Sister Yun Yao!" Xiao Ran seemed to have a lot of understanding of Ziqin's words.
Thinking that the people in the village urgently need the soul rejuvenation incense to save their lives, it is better to think about how to find Yaowang Mountain and obtain the soul rejuvenation incense, which is the most important thing at the moment. Since ancient times, Hongyuan has more hatred, just like the day he left the village, Dao Tianshu sang the ballad: Shengxiao drunken speech, it is a dream of the mirror flower, and it is difficult to wake up even if the red edge is a thing!
Yun Yao sighed twice, "One is stunned, incomprehensible about men and women, the other is indecisive and trouble-seeking, the two of you combined, you are really the most perfect match in the world!
Xiao Ran and Ziqin listened to her words, they really wanted to spit out a mouthful of old blood, and let her say all the good and bad.
Ziqin was very unconvinced, and he stepped forward to argue with her, and the three of them talked and laughed along the way, and the troubles faded away for a while.
However, their adventure was full of thrills, but fortunately, everyone was safe and sound, and God blessed, when it comes to gains and losses, what is more important than life? The experience of calamity has made their originally naΓ―ve faces more mature and indifferent.
In the southern Xinjiang area, there are many poisonous insects and beasts, and after experiencing the harm of yin bats, they decided to take the waterway and avoid the territory of the Miao people. On the one hand, they are afraid of the Miao people, and the land of southern Xinjiang is indeed poor mountains and bad waters, for the sake of safety and proper; on the other hand, there is a river in southern Xinjiang, and the water flows straight to the south, and if you find the Yixian Valley, you can find Yaowang Mountain, and the distance is shorter and faster.
Ziqin and Yun Yao came from the Cloud Void Dao and naturally learned the art of flying in the sky, but flying in the sky and its consumption of true qi, their cultivation was still shallow and difficult to last. Wouldn't it be easy to fly if you could afford to travel in such a hurry!
It's just that the rivers and waterways in southern Xinjiang are not as dangerous as the land, but there are occasional water beasts and strange monsters, so you need to be careful.
They came to a ferry, and at the head of the ferry sat an old man, who was fishing with his eyes closed, and very leisurely. On the ferry, there are many available ferries, which are probably often sold to people in the rivers and lakes for travel or escape, and make a living.
Lao Suo sat at the ferry fishing, wearing a cloak and a hat, he couldn't see clearly, and it was a little weird. This blue sky and white day, living like a water ghost, the yin energy is extremely heavy, not like the yang energy that normal people should have.
Lao Suo could hear their footsteps from afar, "Heroes, are you in a hurry? There is a good ferry, which can seat five people." β
Xiao Ran looked at Lao Suo's back, and vaguely saw Lao Suo's side face, a sharp and slender chin was revealed under the edge of Lao Suo's hat, where is the appearance of a normal person, Xiao Ran felt a little terrifying, and didn't dare to look at Lao Suo's shadow anymore, he just strode forward, because Ziqin and Yun Yao would be more or less at ease in him.
Yun Yao's heart sank, "This old man is really weird! What a heavy yin qi! I can't see his face clearly, and he only shows people with his back, which is not like a normal business at all!"
Zi Qin also noticed it, "It's not good to stay here for a long time, let's go first!" Zi Qin was about to pay Lao Suo the money to buy a boat, but Lao Suo just waved his hand and said in a weird manner: "Let it go!" Lao Suo still didn't turn his face and caught his own fish!
They took the boat, and pushed the ferry forward quickly with their true qi, and left the strange man far away, and they were relieved.
With the flow of water, the scenery on both sides of the river flies backwards.
In front of you, the clear waves and green water, the trees on both sides of the bank are shady, the mountains are reflected, and the sky and clouds are hovering above the water. Looking at the sky, the water and sky in the distance, the clouds cover the mist, and there is a faint vast atmosphere, and the heart is suddenly vast. Occasionally, the cry of wild beasts, accompanied by the cold mountain wind, inadvertently, even saw the trace of apes, climbed the rock and walked quickly, quickly flew into the lush forest, and disappeared.
After twists and turns along the way, Xiao Ran picked up the water and patted his face, it was very refreshing, looking at the reflection in the water, he suddenly felt that his eyebrows were much clearer, and there was a little more sharp air between his eyebrows, which was slightly different from the original appearance. I thought to myself: The old saying is born from the heart, could it be that my heart is different? Why didn't I notice it!
He thought that when he first entered the rivers and lakes, he rode on the treasure gourd, sometimes went up to the sky and into the clouds, and sometimes rowed through the waves, so he was so happy! He took out the treasure gourd on his waist, shook it and had a lot of wine in it, and for a moment felt unbearable with pride, so he took a sip of himself. I didn't expect that the wine in this treasure gourd tasted very different from the secular wine, it was strong and choking, the wine was so strong that it could be intoxicating when you smelled it.
Ziqin smelled the aroma of wine, "Brother Xiao, you still have wine! Reborn after the catastrophe, you must have a good drink! I will also taste it!!"
Ziqin took the treasure gourd, drank it, and squirted out, "This is really the most unpleasant wine I've ever seen in my life!
Ziqin and Xiao Ran hurriedly squatted down, sent the river water into their mouths, kept coughing and rinsing their mouths, and it took a long time to get better.
The wine in the treasure gourd, the smell of wine was so strong that it dripped on Xiao Ran's clothes.
He patted it, trying to get rid of some of the alcohol, and suddenly his clothes caught fire.
Seeing this, Ziqin hurriedly used his true qi and stirred up the river water to extinguish the flames.
"Even water can't extinguish this fire!" it's a demon fire!" Ziqin exclaimed.
Xiao Ran hurriedly took off his coat and threw it into the water, and the clothes burst into flames until they were submerged in the water, and they were still shining with fire. In the place illuminated by the firelight, a dark shadow quickly swam past, and he rubbed his eyes, but he did not see anything unusual, and was a little surprised. Am I mistaken?
"Ziqin owes you a cultivator, don't you know that this is the true fire of Qiankun?" Yun Yao shook her head, looking like she was used to messing around like children with the two of them, but she was helpless.
"Qiankun True Fire, what is Qiankun True Fire?" Xiao Ran asked.
"Qiankun True Fire originates from Buddhism, and it is a magical technique that turns true qi into fire! Because Dao Tianshu had saved the life of Master Prajna of Linghong Temple fifteen years ago, Master Praruo thanked him for passing on this Qiankun True Fire Technique to Dao Tianshu. Ziqin said with a smile, his eyes couldn't help but light up when he talked about the three words Dao Tianshu, Dao Tianshu's ability to reach the heavens is a gap that all people in cultivation cannot cross!
In the Lingjiang Lake, the Hongsi exercises are the most strong, the true qi gathers in the dantian, condenses into the danhuo, and the cultivation can turn the true qi into the true fire of Qiankun, which is the great achievement. Due to the limitations of cultivation, only Master Prajna and the four holy monks can play the true fire. However, the Holy Monk's skill is not as good as that of Master Prajna, and he only barely uses the power of the True Fire in one or two moves!
On that day, Dao Tianshu and the demon Dao people fought the law, and the Dao Tianshu directly condensed the true qi into the true fire of Qiankun, and took the wine of the treasure gourd as a guide, and spewed out several fire dragons, burning the yin spirit and destroying the Ah Bi Avenue that the demon Dao people had painstakingly arranged, and the cultivation of the Dao Tianshu can be seen. This world's number one ability is really shocking!
"This Qiankun is really powerful!" Xiao Ran swallowed, almost burning the entire ferry. He didn't dare to touch the gourd's wine anymore, so he tied the gourd back to his waist.
Yun Yao crossed her hands and stood at the bow of the boat, "Extinguishing it, not extinguishing it, not extinguishing it, being yang to being strong, and the fox clan's yin to the evil fire are all the most important exercises in the world." That treasure gourd is the treasure of Dao Tianshu, presumably after his tempering, the wine in it will turn into real fire at any time, just a little bit to burn your clothes, you guys are a little bit more nonsense, maybe you can burn the whole of southern Xinjiang!
Xiao Ran exclaimed: "Is it so powerful? Can you burn the entire southern Xinjiang?"
Yun Yao snorted, "You and Ziqin are really good brothers, one is stupid and the other is stupid!"
Xiao Ran glanced at Ziqin, Ziqin smiled awkwardly, his face was very ugly.
"She's fooling you, leave her alone!But the wine in this treasure gourd needs to be kept well, maybe when will it be of great use! Did that Tianshu teach you any driving spells?"
"Yes, it is said that when you encounter danger, you can recite a spell, the demons will not be near, and the evil spirits will not invade, but you can keep safe. Xiao Ran looked at the palm of his hand that had been stained with wine, once Dao Tianshu had written the spell in the palm of his hand, and he could drive it by reciting the spell in case of danger.
He took out his hand and looked at it, and there was a faint distorted spell pattern.
Ziqin came in and took a look, "That's it! It must have been the hand you drew with the charm that accidentally got on the gourd's wine that burned the true fire of Qiankun." Qiankun is a real fire, it can't be extinguished, it won't be extinguished when it meets the water, if it is paired with your spell, hehe, the three of us will be burned to death on the ferry. β
Yun Yao interjected, "Yes! How embarrassing it should be to spread it! What kind of heroic ambitions, what heroic deeds, the result is good, and he died at his own hands inexplicably! In the future, I met my master in the Netherworld Mansion, don't you dare to say that you burned yourself to death by playing with fire!"
Ziqin was about to say something, but was interrupted by Yun Yao.
Xiao Ran nodded, "Brother Ziqin, why does Sister Yun Yao keep saying that you are a fish and wood head?"
Yun Yao glanced at Ziqin, "He's ignorant! Ignorant! He doesn't understand the amorous feelings! His head is made of the monk's fish and wood, Amitabha, no matter how he knocks, he won't become smart!"
"Uh! Senior Sister Yun Yao! What's wrong with you? Since you went through the Yin Bat Tribulation, why have you called me Yumu and my head has not stopped? Fortunately, our Sanfu has a great life, and I have not explained it to the Miao people, I have neither recruited you nor provoked you, so I can be guilty of fighting with me!"
"Where did you not recruit me, did you provoke me?
"Me!"
"I said you recruited me to provoke me, you recruited me to provoke me!
Just as Yun Yao and Ziqin were arguing, a shadow swam under them in the water, I don't know what it was!
The light of the sky refracted in the water, and Xiao Ran vaguely saw that thing, covered with silver-white scales, the size of a man's palm. It contracted rapidly, swam violently, and came to the surface.
At this time, a huge whirlpool was set up on the surface of the water, the water splashed, the waves were bursting, and the ferry boat was involved in the whirlpool, and everyone was shocked, afraid that they had encountered some powerful monster, and one would be confessed here if they were not careful!
Everyone suddenly felt that the surroundings were shaking violently, and the fishy smell came from the surface of the water, which was disgusting. The blood of the people was disordered for a while, and the world was spinning, and they couldn't distinguish between east and west, north and south.
The water monster came so fast that it barely gave them a chance to breathe, and it was a surprise that would kill them!
The water monster suddenly burst out of the middle of the whirlpool, opened its bloody fangs, exposed the foul-smelling esophagus and sticky walls, and bit the ferry to pieces. The crowd was swept into the water, drowning in the rolling waves.
A behemoth basilisk, soaring from the curling mist, wings spread, the water curtain flying, falling with a bang, the mist rising up, accompanied by the deafening roar of the water waves, the basilisk raised its head to the sky and let out a violent roar.
The basilisk dived into the water, stirring up the river and stirring up the waterfalls, which slammed into the trees and rocks on both banks, uprooting the trees and cracking the rocks, and being swept into the river with the current.
In an instant, the river mist was confused!
