Chapter 8 The Way

There are two roads to Shushan from Zhejian Villa, one is the avenue, first go south to Chenzhou, then turn west, to Shushan, there are two big rivers to cross in the middle; there is also a road that goes straight to the southwest and go straight to Shushan, this road is mountainous, the road is precipitous, to climb over the Siyun Cliff of the strange peak and the Xihua Mountain of a thousand-year-old tree, but the distance is shorter by nearly half. Hai Fugui wanted to rush to Shushan as soon as possible, so as not to change things, don't go late, the chief of the iron pen thought that he would not go, and if he went out to visit friends or something, it would be a loss.

Out of the Folding Sword Villa, Hai Fugui still walked the trail behind the mountain, feeling as if there was more power on his feet, he was still walking like flying on the snow, and it was much easier to walk than when he went up the mountain, and his steps were also light. Hai Fugui didn't care about the reason, maybe it was because of going down the mountain.

Outside the snow peak, it was still autumn, and the weather had not turned cooler, so Hai Fugui gave the cotton clothes to the nearby farmers, asked the direction of Siyun Cliff, and then stepped on the road.

For a few days, all the way Shanghai Fugui starry night non-stop, tired to stay in the farmhouse or on the side of the road to make a fire to lie for a while, along the way is also safe, there are no accidents, the only change is that Hai Fugui is dusty. Hai Fugui found that the scenery and landforms on both sides gradually changed, various strange peaks began to increase, and trees and vegetation became more and more rare.

After Hai Fugui crossed a canyon, the scene that appeared in front of him made him stunned. Concentrate and look up, but see the peaks and peaks undulating, overlapping and surrounding, the road is winding and deep, everywhere are cliffs, high mountains and deep streams, ancient pines standing on the rocks, cookies are twisted and turned, clear streams come from nowhere, fly straight down, and are blown away by the wind into showers of rain and fog, and the rain and mist wrap around the mountainside. Sure enough, in response to the sentence "looking horizontally at the side of the ridge into a peak, the distance and the height are different", I only feel that the natural creation is vast and magical, and the magic is amazing. In the face of such a beautiful scenery, Hai Fugui was intoxicated, if one day he could build a small wooden house on the top of a mountain like a soaring eagle with his beloved, and then lead a stream to flow in front of the house and behind the house, plant some orchids and green grass in front of the door, and small melons, fruits and vegetables behind the house, Hai Fugui's thoughts drifted farther and farther, as for who his beloved was thinking about at this time, there was no need to say much.

This is Siyun Cliff, there is a sheep intestine trail at the foot of the mountain, moss grows on the stone steps, Hai Fugui carefully holds the rocks on both sides with his hands when he walks, and he doesn't know how many times he touched the small insects.

Coming to an open area with a radius of three zhang, Hai Fugui sat next to the tall stone in the middle, with a cool breeze blowing on his face, comfortable and natural. Suddenly, Hai Fugui heard a faint piece of music in the air, and Hai Fugui repeatedly confirmed that it was not his own delusion. There was indeed an ancient piece of music wafting in the air, not like it was made by a musical instrument, like the sound of the wind blowing. For this reason, this place is called Quyin Ao.

Hai Fugui carefully searched in the open area, but did not find the source of life, Haifu can only admire the stereo sound effect is too strong. A frustrated hand slapped on the stone beside him, and this palm just slapped on the hole in the stone.

With a "......" sound, Hai Fugui jumped up in fright, but he didn't expect this stone to make a sound. Hai Fugui carefully observed this oval-shaped stone, and found that there were five small holes the size of a fist in the front, and there was also a large hole at the top, and the wind blew in from the top, and each small hole on the side made a different sound, some high and some bottom. Hai Fugui has to admire the miracle of the creator, it is really a hundred thousand worlds, there are no wonders.

What makes Hai Fugui feel most strange is that the faint music in the air seems to be able to be interpreted through this big stone. With a little fur music theory that he learned for the bubble girl, Hai Fugui tried to play. Mo searched for a while and finally matched with the music in the air, and the two complemented each other, to the point that there was a feeling of main harmony, which made people feel refreshed. Hai Fugui auditioned for a while, and then stopped. After all, you have to rush to Shushan, so don't stay too long on the road.

"Hey, the road just now seems to be on the left, how did it become right, alas, is it left or right in the end?" Hai Fugui couldn't remember clearly, if there is a road, let's go, anyway, there is only one way.

What Hai Fugui didn't know was that not long after he left, the Quyin Pass changed, the road on the right disappeared, it became a natural rock wall again, and the road on the left that had disappeared also reappeared.

Hai Fugui found that this section of the road was more remote than the previous one, and it could be said that it was really inaccessible, although there were no overgrown weeds, but the moss on the stone steps was extremely thick, and if you stepped on it a little carelessly, you would slip.

Gradually, Hai Fugui walked higher and higher, and suddenly found that he had exceeded the clouds, Hai Fugui couldn't help but have a question in his heart, the mountain peak he saw at the foot of the mountain before seemed to be different from the one he climbed now, but he didn't feel any difference, at this time Hai Fugui was deeply attracted by this magical mountain and river, so he didn't care too much.

Seeing the feeling of clouds and mist shuttling under his feet, no, Hai Fugui couldn't help but recite the poem, "Qingming leans on the sky, and the color is wrongly drawn." Purple glow reward, fruit tricks. Singing in the clouds, making Bao Se on the stone. There is a slight fashion in his life, and laughter has been over since then. ”

Hai Fugui looked up to the sky and shouted: "Ah...... Oh ......!" It's a memorable place.

Hai Fugui packed up his mood and continued on the road, and when he turned a corner, he suddenly heard a child's voice: "The bad guy is coming, the bad guy is here again......" Three or four voices, chattering noisy and lively. It's strange how there could be children in this quiet place in the mountains.

Hai Fugui followed the voice and looked for it. Although he was shocked too much today, the scene in front of him still made him speechless, only to see four children more than a foot tall, white and tender, fat hands and feet, round faces, round eyes, no eyebrows, no hair on the head, but four leaves, hands and feet full of roots.

When the four strange children saw Hai Fugui, they leaned close together, their faces were nervous, and they stared at Hai Fugui with bulging eyes, without blinking.

One of them was bold and said in a milky voice: "You're not a bad guy, are you a friend of a bad guy?"

Hai Fugui's heart was soft for a while, and he didn't know if these four children had been abandoned in the mountains since they were children, so they grew up like this. Try to say in the gentlest voice possible: "I'm not a bad guy, and I'm not a friend of a bad guy." ”

The four children cheered, "Oh, great, you're not a badass, you're not a badass." ”

What a child, extremely easy to satisfy. Hai Fugui asked, "Who is the villain?"

"A bad guy is a bad guy!" the four children wondered why Hai Fugui asked this "mentally retarded" question.

Hai Fugui was defeated and shrugged helplessly.

Then a loud ape cry resounded through the mountain stream, and the four strange children, who seemed to be very frightened of this voice, gathered together, blocked the youngest one in the middle, and cried out, "The villain is coming!

Hai Fugui finally saw the villain in their eyes, it was a tall gibbon monkey, and its silver-white hair was so dazzling against the sun. The ape didn't seem to see Hai Fugui, and walked straight towards the four strange children.

The four children shouted louder and louder: "Badass, go away!" and the four children also had no vocabulary, and they were "badass", "Go away".

The ape roared, and he was able to speak: "The old man was ordered by his master to guard this mountain, and put an end to all flowers, plants, birds, and beasts from cultivating into demons. You are originally a plant and a tree, and now that you have opened your mind and turned into a human form, don't blame the old man for being ruthless. After saying that, he stretched out his big hairy hand and swept forward quickly, and it was like flying sand and rocks by the wind.

These strange children are not big enough for a hand, and if they are really swept away, they will definitely not be able to escape.

I saw these four children, with a coquettish shout, a pale yellow circle of light appeared around them, blocking the ape's giant hand from the outside. The ape smiled and said, "If it was a few days ago, the old man wouldn't have been able to take this turtle cover of yours, but now he can't stop me." ”

The ape turned his palm into a fist, "bang, bang, bang......", and punched on the pale yellow aperture. Hai Fugui felt like the earth was shaking, and the gravel on both sides rolled down. Hai Fugui estimated that this ape was only afraid that he had achieved cultivation, and the four strange children who were fighting against it must not be ordinary, seeing that the pale yellow aperture was gradually shrinking smaller and smaller, and the light was getting weaker and weaker, and the four strange children in it were really struggling to eat at this time, their little faces were flushed, and a trace of green had already flowed from the corners of a child's mouth.

A child struggled to shout, "Three, three, one, one, one," as if to tell the third child to hold on.

The ape was about to break through the pale yellow aperture when he heard a weak voice behind him: "This, can you stop and listen to me?" The ape really stopped and turned around and said, "Human, what do you say? Since the closure of this mountain, no ordinary man has ever set foot in this place. ”

Hai Fugui saw that this ape spoke clearly, he must have been successful in cultivation and had a high level of intelligence, and he hoped that he would not be like the snow demon last time. Try to use polite words as much as possible: "Ape demon, I don't know what grievances you have, but it's not appropriate to settle the dispute, why don't you talk about it and resolve this contradiction?"

The ape closed his eyes, as if recalling something, and let out a long breath before he said: "The old man has been ordered to guard this mountain for many years, and he has been alone for thousands of years, and of course he also wants to have a companion who can speak. It's just that the owner has left a rule for the little demon to take care of the creatures in this mountain. ”

The more Hai Fugui listened, the more confused he became, and asked, "Since you also need companions, why do you want to kill these four?"

The ape sighed and said, "You don't know, although the master asked me to take care of this mountain, I was not allowed to let the creatures become intelligent and transformed. For thousands of years, this demon has followed the rules of its master, and whenever it sees something that is about to be enlightened, it will send them into reincarnation in advance. ”

Saying this, the four strange children shouted again: "Badass! Badass......"

Hai Fugui exclaimed: "There are still such rules?"

"Alas, the master said that the spiritual power of this mountain is limited, if there are living beings who cultivate into demons, then it will greatly increase the absorption of spiritual power, causing the spiritual power of this mountain to be exhausted, so such a rule is set."

Hai Fugui felt very strange, this vast world, how could there be more of these two monsters to cause the depletion of spiritual power, could it be that the owner of this place is an extremely environmentalist paranoid? So he said: "Then it won't be long before the cultivators who have become demons are sent out of this mountain." ”

The ape sighed and said: "Sooner or later, you still have to know, after this mountain is closed, don't say it, it's difficult to get in, you are still the first mortal I have seen since I sealed the mountain." ”

As soon as Hai Fugui heard this, he panicked and couldn't get out, so how can I go to Shushan, is it possible that I want to die in this mountain? And I have been in the company of monkeys all the time, God, what are you going to make trouble with? Hai Fugui immediately wanted to go back.

Before he could move his footsteps, he was stopped by the ape: "No need to look back and try, the way you came has long been gone." ”

Hai Fugui sat on the ground and muttered, "Ape Demon, there is really no other way out?"

The ape said, "I haven't seen my master for thousands of years. ”

Hai Fugui was completely desperate.

The ape continued, "I remember that there seems to be an exit at the top of the mountain, but there is a formation blocking it, and if you can break that formation, you will have a chance to get out." ”

When Hai Fugui heard this, he was hopeful, and immediately jumped up from the ground and said, "Let's go, and ask the ape demon to take the kid there." ”

The ape said: "So that you are completely dead, and I will leave after I have cleaned up these grass demons." ”

Hai Fugui hurriedly stopped: "Ape Demon, if you can really go out and let these four grass demons out of this mountain, why bother to fight and kill and hurt their lives? ”

The ape pondered for a moment, and said to the four little grass demons: "Okay, let's stay for a while, if this son cracks the formation, you are willing to go out with the son." ”

The four grass demons closed the defensive aperture and nodded desperately: "Yes......! ”

"Alright, come with me. ”

I saw that the four grass demons didn't move, they were still in place, they just looked anxious, they didn't know how to express it, they were pointing, uh-huh.

Hai Fugui took a closer look, it turned out that the feet of the smallest of the four were still in the dirt, and it was estimated that his cultivation had been poor for some time, and his transformation was not complete. Presumably, the reason why the other three stuck to this place before was because one of their companions couldn't move around yet. So he said, "Do you want me to wait until he transforms?"

The three grass demons nodded again like chickens pecking rice, and said, "Well, well......" The youngest one was still a little shy, and a slight red appeared on his round face.

"Okay. Hai Fugui turned his head to the ape and said, "Ape Demon, it must not matter if you delay for a few days." ”

The ape said: "Speaking of which, the reason why these four grass demons were able to transform is also my dereliction of duty, twenty years ago, I shouldn't have eaten a fruit, and I fell asleep so far, fortunately, only these four grass demons were transformed during this period, otherwise the evil would be deep." Let me help you. After speaking, a green breath came out of his mouth and blew towards this little grass demon, which was transformed by the ape's natal essence.

The little grass demon is also clever, opening its small mouth and immediately absorbing the natal essence spit out by the ape, leaving nothing behind. Hai Fugui saw that after the little grass demon absorbed the essence, the feet buried in the soil gradually changed, and slowly turned into a human form, and finally there was no difference between his three elder brothers, and after his feet left the ground, the little guy waved his hands happily and wanted to run, but he just transformed and fell to the ground before taking two steps. Hai Fugui hurriedly hugged him. The little grass demon shyly covered his face and hid in Hai Fugui's arms. The other grass demons saw that the youngest one had also successfully transformed, and they jumped up and down happily, chattering non-stop, and running happily around Hai Fugui.

The ape also had a rare smile on his face and said, "Okay, let's go." ”

On the road, Shanghai Fugui heard the ape say that the four grass demons are four glazed foxglove grass, the four little grass demons just comprehended this natural magic power "earth shield", the four grass demons jointly exerted, as long as they stepped on the earth, it was difficult for the apes who had practiced for thousands of years to break their defenses at the beginning, and one of the biggest characteristics of their magic power was that they could provide a steady stream of mana with the help of the power of the earth to support the "earth shield". This time, the ape ingested a vajra fruit, and in a short period of time, he increased his huge strength before he was able to suppress it steadily.

Hai Fugui didn't expect these four little guys to have such ability, and couldn't help but boast: "Little guys, you guys are awesome!"

"Eh, I can only hold one, you have to walk by yourself as a brother. ”

"Oh, don't tug at my pants, huh...... , itch, don't pull out your hair. ”

"It's up to the neck, oh...... , I'm dead, hehe......"

When he was about to reach the top of the mountain, the ape pointed to a big stone in front of him and said: "The front is the formation that blocks the way to the top of the mountain, first remind you, don't use brute force to force it, so as not to hurt yourself, this formation can rebound all attacks." ”

Hai Fugui listened to the ape will say that the formation is magical and incomprehensible, after seeing it, I can't help but feel steady, it turns out that the formation at the foot of the mountain is the same, it is a piece of rhythm stone, but the rhythm floating in the air here is a little longer, there are hundreds of notes, forming a beautiful and simple song, Hai Fugui groped for more than an hour, and finally made the sound of the rhythm stone and the air floating in the same, only to see ahead, this is the place of the cliff, quietly appeared a passage.

Hai Fugui's happy siblings danced: "It's open! It's open! Ape senior, the road is open!" The four grass demons also rolled on the ground happily.

Seeing that the thousand-year-old formation he had studied had made no progress, and the human in front of him had only taken an hour to crack it, he couldn't help but sigh: "Human intelligence is really blessed, far beyond the comparison of our spirits, congratulations to Hai Gongzi." ”

Hai Fugui said: "This formation is the same as the one at the foot of the mountain, it is enough to control the music of the rhythm stone and the music in the air to be synchronized." ”

Hearing Hai Fugui's explanation, the ape suddenly realized and said, "I see. It turned out that there was still a sound floating in the air, no wonder he had been groping for thousands of years without results, but he couldn't hear this sound as a demon clan. Not only the demon clan can't hear it, but even ordinary humans can't hear it. And if you can't hear this song, let alone a thousand years, even if it is ten thousand years, you can't crack this formation.

Hai Fugui picked up the little grass demon and said, "Let's go!"

"Ape senior, come quickly, or the passage will be closed. Hai Fugui looked back to find that the ape was still standing in place.

The ape waved his hand and said: "Hai Gongzi, the old man will not leave, he promised the master to take care of this mountain, and now that the master has not returned, how can the old man leave without permission." ”

"Your master has not heard from you for a thousand years, and you don't have to leave this mountain all the time, it's better to go outside first to breathe, and then come back in a few years. Hai Fugui persuaded unwillingly.

The ape didn't answer, just shook his head, and then turned away, leaving behind a back glowing silver-white as it faded away. In fact, it is not that the ape does not want to go out, but he does not dare, he is afraid of being attracted by the thousands of worlds in the outside world, he is afraid that he will forget to come back, and he is afraid that he is reluctant to come back, thus delaying the master's entrustment.

For such a "brainless" guy, Hai Fugui didn't have a trick, and said: "Okay, ape senior, you have memorized the method of opening the formation, if you want to come out one day to relax, come to Shushan to find me." ”

At this time, the passage slowly closed, and when the passage was about to be completely closed, a mass of things flew out of it, Hai Fugui reached out to catch it, and saw that it was a round thing, the size of a fist, with a hard shell, and a ginseng plant, which seemed to have at least a thousand years of fire.

When Hai Fugui saw that the passage was completely closed, it turned into a mossy cliff, and there was no trace to be found. He didn't delay any longer, and greeted the four grass demons and said, "Let's go, we have the opportunity to come back and visit the ape seniors." ”

The four grass demons shook their heads together like a rattle, and said, "Don't come, don't come." ”

Hai Fugui smiled helplessly and said, "The ape seniors are just doing things on orders, you four little guys, don't have a grudge against him." ”

Four Grass Demons: "No, not coming." No, not coming. "It's not that you don't hold grudges, and if you don't come, you don't mean you don't come here to die.

Hai Fugui didn't understand what these four grass demons meant, so he didn't bother to care, so he beckoned: "Let's go, keep up." ”

Alas, before this Shushan arrived, he received four grass demons, and I don't know what the attitude of the Shushan party is towards this kind of spirit, so I don't care about it for the time being, and I will talk about it when I arrive.

Soon, we came to the top of the mountain. In front of me is a wide circular flat land jutting out of the edge of a cliff, surrounded by high rocks, full of moss and vines, and in the middle of the dome there is a large dome containing "rain".

It doesn't make sense, the ape senior said that he was on the top of the mountain, why is it a cliff? Do you want me to jump off the cliff? Hai Fugui came to the edge of the cliff, poked his head out, looked at it, and saw nothing, except for a cloud and mist. Hai Fugui picked up a piece of gravel, threw it down, and counted nearly forty times before he heard it, this height made Hai Fugui dumbfounded.

Hai Fugui said helplessly: "Little guys, we are only afraid that we will be on the top of this mountain and the northwest wind." "Walking next to Dading, walking for so long, my mouth was dry, and when I was about to reach out to hold the water, I found that something was wrong.

It turns out that this big tripod is not filled with rainwater, but a "water mirror", which shows a miniature version of the mountain terrain, which is called a satellite map with the explanation of Hai Fugui. Hai Fugui is a little skeptical that this Dading is a product of aliens. Only then did I carefully observe this big tripod, the tripod body is square, six feet wide, the tripod body is engraved with ancient patterns and lines, and the sea wealth can not be recognized. The pattern on the four tripod feet Hai Fugui even guessed that he recognized two, one dragon and one phoenix, and the other two were like tigers and turtles. This mysterious tripod is certainly not a natural occurrence, and is estimated to have been made by the owner of the ape.

Hai Fugui came to the front of Dading, and found that there was a fist-sized red gem embedded in it, Hai Fugui couldn't help but buckle it, his palm just touched this red gem, his head banged, and a huge amount of information poured into his mind uncontrollably, and after a period of dizziness, Hai Fugui woke up. Only then did I understand that the circular flat on the top of this mountain was a whole large stone that could fly, and it was controlled by the mountains and rivers in this tripod, and the key to opening it was the red stone. The red stone contained the methods and spells of manipulation, and just now, in the process of contact, it poured into Hai Fugui's mind.

Hai Fugui took a closer look at the map of mountains and rivers, and the entire mountains and rivers continent was surrounded by gray, and the east and south were the sea. Hai Fugui carefully looked for his familiarity on the map of mountains and rivers. If the seaside town here is Mingzhou, then this is Suzhou, this is Kaifeng? This is the Snow Mountain, there is only one small point in the valley of Zhejian Villa, to the southwest, Hai Fugui found the Siyun Cliff where he is, and then to the southwest, this piece of strange peaks and mountains, and a small palace, is it Shu Mountain, this palace is really majestic, Hai Fugui can't help but point with his hand.

I saw the flying stone, which vibrated violently, swayed from side to side, and gradually broke away from the mountain and floated. Hai Fugui didn't check for a while, and actually fell to the ground, and said: "Startle me, it can really fly, it seems that the master's mana cultivation here is unfathomable, and he can actually refine such a huge flying magic weapon." ”

The flying stone flew higher and higher, faster and faster, Hai Fugui felt like passing through a transparent light curtain, the clouds and mist suddenly disappeared, and the previous mountains and rivers were seen in his eyes again, but the position was a little high, for Hai Fugui, who was afraid of heights, there was only one result, that is, "vomiting".

Some people say that you get used to it when you spit and spit it. Hai Fugui tried not to go to the edge and shrank near the big tripod in the middle. On the contrary, the four grass demons played very happily, somersaults and rolls, which was a novelty to everything in the outside world.

Hai Fugui saw that the speed of this flying stone was extremely fast, but there was no obstruction of the air flow on it, as if there was an invisible cover to isolate the air flow. Alas, if you don't understand this kind of immortal method, don't worry about it for the time being.

Hai Fugui thought that if nothing else, he would soon be in Shushan, and these four grass demons still had to communicate with them, so he called the four grass demons over and surrounded him. Dao: "You are all cultivating into demons, do you have your own name?"

The four grass demons shook their heads in unison,

"Shall I give you a name?"

"Yes, yes," the four grass demons happily tugged at their trouser legs and somersaults.

Hai Fugui asked, "Which of you is the boss?"

The tallest of the sons pointed to himself and said, "I, I ......." ”

"Okay, your body is glazed ground yellow grass, it's better to be surnamed Huang, the eldest is called Huang Cong, the second is called Huang Ying, the third is called Huang Ling, as for the old, it's called Huang Qiao. How, when connected, it is called smart and dexterous. ”

When the four grass demons heard their own names, they didn't care if the names were good or bad, and they ran happily, playing around Dading, and Huang Qiao might not be able to walk on a stable road because he had just transformed. Therefore, he sat quietly beside Hai Fugui, watching the three elder brothers play, occasionally clapping his hands with fat meat to show encouragement.

Due to the fear of heights, there may still be a little "airsickness", facing the sunset, Hai Fugui didn't know when to sleep.

To find out what happens next, take a look at the next breakdown.
