Ziyun Mountain is very high, nearly 10,000 zhang high, and it is an extremely difficult job to fall halfway up the mountain and climb it on foot. For example, now, it has only been three hours, Li Jingliu is already tired like a dead dog, holding a stick and moving forward step by step, the sweat is flowing down his head, and the mountain scenery of re-entering the saint does not have a good bed in his eyes at this time.

On the other hand, Mo Dongdu, although he was also out of breath, his shape was much better than that of Li Jingliu. Looking at the two people in front of them, they are worthy of being cultivators, walking down dozens of miles of rugged mountain roads, their faces are not red, their breath is not panting, their clothes are neat and new, there are no wrinkles, and there is not even a little sweat, especially Zuo Binu, strolling among the Ziyun Mountains, admiring the fragrance of flowers and birds, rare birds and beasts, and a bit of a leisurely feeling of visiting the garden.

"Brother Bai...... Shall we take a break?" Li Jingliu really couldn't support his trembling legs, and asked Bai Xiguang, who was leading the way in front.

"Brother Li, it's better to act quickly, there are many monsters on the mountain at night, and there is no shortage of powerful characters, even if Brother Li cultivates to the strongest, it will be difficult to stop them from rushing up, so let's do it as soon as possible." ”

Li Jingliu looked at the end of the peak, and sighed: "Brother Bai, can we reach the top of the mountain today?"

Bai Xiguang was about to take it for granted, yes. I saw Li Jing's sweat again, alas...... Then he changed his mind and said, "Why don't we find a place to rest first, and then continue walking tomorrow." ”

Hearing his words, Li Mo and the others breathed a sigh of relief, and looking at the wonders of the mountains was also two points more pleasing to the eye.

A quarter of an hour later, Bai Xiguang led them to an ancient tree, which was almost the size of a room, its green branches stretched out and pierced into the air, the huge canopy of the tree shadowed the mountain, and under the tree were scattered some scattered green feathers, which were crystal clear, like glass. However, the middle of the ancient tree is hollow, and the green vegetation on both sides wraps the hollow, and if you don't look closely, you really can't see it.

"The glazed peacock usually builds its nest in such a tree, it is a very proud bird, with very gorgeous feathers, they build their nest high in the canopy, and at night they look up at the starry sky, and as for what is under the tree, they never bother to look at it when it is not moving. But the glass peacock is also a kind of spirit beast that is relatively high-ranked, and ordinary beasts dare not approach here. ”

As Bai Xiguang spoke, he pinched a trick, and with his gestures, the vegetation wrapped around the tree trunks seemed to come to life, slowly squirming and retreating to the ground. In a short time, the ancient tree showed a hole half a man high.

There are some slippery moss growing in the ancient tree cave, and by the light, there are some white and tender small mushrooms growing on the inner wall of the tree hole. The men found some dead leaves and made a fire in the cave. After resting for a while, Li Mo and the others searched in the vicinity, both of them were not very old, and they had a childish mentality, such good mountains and rivers, they had never seen it before, they had to take a good look. Bai Xiguang was not worried about the safety of the two of them, one could knock himself into bed with one move, and the other could catch the bird with his bare hands.

In the evening, Li Jingliu spontaneously and consciously roasted mushrooms by the fire, Bai Xiguang and Zuo Binu, one is a great cultivator who has already opened the valley, and the other is not hungry if he doesn't know if he is a person. And Li Jingliu and Mo Dongdu, but they are standard ordinary people, after a day's trek over the mountains, they are already hungry.

In the evening, when Mo Dong found a huge toad in the mountain stream because he was looking for water, but the toad was slow, his saliva came down, and in the next quarter of an hour, Li Mo and the others picked up toads barefoot in the cracks of the stones in the mountain stream, and the sweaty clothes on their bodies were strangely uncomfortable, just used to wrap the toad.

The two of them instantly thought of the small mushrooms in the ancient tree cave, white and tender, not like poisonous. No, Mo Dong chose the right branches one by one outside the tree hole, and Li Jingliu set up a fire in the tree hole to roast mushrooms.

Mushrooms and toads are originally mountain fresh, and they are soaked in cold and sweet mountain spring water, which adds a sweet fragrance. After a while, the fresh fragrance permeated the entire tree hole, and the hook made people's index fingers move.

"Brother Li, it's not safe to sleep in the mountains at night, please put out the fire quickly after eating. Bai Xiguang could naturally smell the umami of the roasted toad, and the gluttonous worm in his heart was also itchy, but he really couldn't bear to rob the two people who had experienced a three-year famine and refugees.

If you want to talk about mushrooms, Li Jingliu also washed them a little and roasted them to look decent. As for the toad, alas, the trouble is dead, remove the head and roast it directly, and now when I bite into it, everything in the intestines and stomach flows out, and I don't mind the two of them, and they don't mind eating it, and they are disgusting to look at, no matter how fresh the taste is, I really can't arouse any interest.

Li Jingliu ate a big meal, about eight points full, looking at a few toads left, he was very generous to share with Zuo Binu and Bai Xiguang, Zuo Binu looked at the toad head that was about to be broken, and had to refuse politely. Bai Xiguang said that he had already opened the valley and couldn't eat anything.

"It's delicious, it's a loss not to taste it. Li Jingliu had to shake his head and sigh, and then followed Mo Dongdu, who was concentrating on eating, to continue sweeping.

On a summer night, the two of them put on their coats and ate toads around the fire, which was quite interesting.

Who knew that the two of them were eating, and suddenly heard a dense footstep outside the tree hole, as if they were hiding something, and when they arrived at the tree hole, the sound suddenly stopped, and then, the four people in the cave saw a man in a green robe rush in regardless of it.

The man was a middle-aged man, with a half-messy goatee hanging down his chin, small eyes, but unusually attentive, a crooked hook-shaped nose, and a slight red mark on his face, as if he had been caught. The middle-aged man was a little anxious, but after entering the cave, he was attracted by the roasted toad on the fire, he sniffed first, and then remembered something, and was a little anxious to state his intention to the four people in the cave.

"Four, can you allow me to hide here for a while? My lady is chasing me, but I can't be chased by the shrew again, otherwise the beard I have grown so hard will really be ripped out by her." ”

It was the first time Li Jingliu had seen a man who was chased by his daughter-in-law, although most of the women in Golden Scale Town were fierce, they were just making trouble at home, and they would not run after people all over the mountains. Compared with the two, I feel that this person is quite pitiful, and then look at this person carefully, although he is not a person, but he is not evil, and he can't look at it twice in a row.

The other three were staring at this person with a strange look, oh, being chased out by his daughter-in-law and daring to say it so openly, he should really be a good man!

"Yes, but this is such a big place, where are you going to hide?"

The middle-aged man looked around, and suddenly saw that the clothes that Li Mo and the others had used to wrap the toad before were in a mess, and said happily: "Just those clothes! ”

Immediately, the man turned into a four-legged snake with wings and swam quickly into the mess of clothes.

But after half a pillar of incense, there was a burst of incense outside the tree hole, followed by the crisp sound of bells. Li Jingliu's heart suddenly trembled...... Didn't Mo Ling come back to ask for his life? Then, he found that he was thinking too much, and a gentle voice came from outside the tree hole: "How many people are inside, can you allow the concubine to disturb one or two?"
