Chapter 19 1 [Jumang and Kuafu 1]
Leaving the Kunlun Mountains, the terrain became flat. Only the low plants swayed in the wind on the dry yellow earth, and even the streams became scarce. Farewell to the lush green of the Kunlun Mountains, ushered in a boundless yellow earth, looking back, even the majestic peaks have gradually become smaller.
Maybe after [***], Zhu Li, and Mu Changfeng left one after another, Li Chuxun became silent, but Chang Xian could always find some ways to help him relieve his boredom. In the end, in order to reach their destination as soon as possible, Li Chuxun decided to teach them some simple steps to get lost. Under the guidance of Li Chuxun, Chang Xian and Fenghou learned the mantra of Lost Trace Steps while stepping on Bugangdou, and this was also the best way for them to speed up their journey.
"Brother Chu Xun, why are some plants obviously scarce here after leaving the Kunlun Mountains?" Chang Xian was a little puzzled, so he couldn't help asking.
"Plants are not scarce, but they have become short, right?" Looking at the grass and trees that were so low that they could only touch their calves, Li Chuxun said first.
"Brother Chu Xun is still powerful!" Chang first scratched his head, and then continued, "By the way, is Xuanyuan Hill a hill?"
"Well, I don't know yet......" Li Chuxun said as he found that there was a stream one zhang wide in the distance, and the small branches that shimmered around it were like tree roots, all of which trickled into the stream.
Just when Chang Xian was about to bypass a muddy wetland, Li Chuxun called out to him, and then he pinched the trick with his left hand and sent it out with a gust of palm wind. It was still a moss-like wetland, and it was sunken by Li Chuxun's palm wind in an instant, and then a stream of earthy yellow silt was revealed. At this time, Chang Xian realized that the muddy wetland was actually a swamp, and Chang Xian couldn't help but stick out his tongue.
The view along the clear stream is not at all harmonious with the loess surrounded by sand and gravel. Looking down the stream, he saw a figure in the distance who seemed to be planting something in the lower reaches of the stream, so Li Chuxun beckoned Chang Xian and Fenghou to come over and take a look.
"It's so far away, I can't see it clearly!Is it Chu Xun Dao Immortal, you are mistaken, this desolate area, how can there be a figure?" Feng Hou put his hand between his eyebrows, and he didn't see half a figure at all.
"Yes, Brother Chu Xun, your cultivation is so high, if you are not sure that it is a human figure, then how can we see it. Chang Xian also said.
In fact, the figure didn't need to care about Li Chuxun at all, but the figure had a faint pair of wings, and in terms of figure, it really had some similarities with Kunpeng, but it was impossible for him to appear here. If he hadn't been able to forget Kunpeng's right-hand man, he wouldn't have been so concerned about his safety.
The direction of the stream is just a flat piece of yellow earth, so the only way to get to Xuanyuan Hill is to follow the wider and wider stream. They walked around the seemingly muddy swamp along the stream, getting closer and closer to the figure, and the pair of wings behind the hunched figure were especially visible in the setting sun.
"Kunpeng?" Chang asked first, and he stared keenly at a place less than ten zhang away from him, where a figure with two wings was planting a willow tree.
Is it really Kunpeng, Li Chuxun seemed a little excited, and suddenly regardless of what Fenghou was going to say, he jumped lightly, landed behind the figure and said, "Kunpeng!
The figure turned, revealing its true face. I saw that his majestic body had a fresh and handsome face, a solemnity between his eyebrows, feathers on his buns, and his ears were like folding fans. The only difference is that his hands are not human hands, but a pair of phoenix claws.
"Dare to ask, are you calling me?" Seeing Li Chuxun's stunned look, the man said disapplausively.
"I recognized the wrong person, I'm sorry!" Li Chuxun said, but his eyes were still looking at his whole body, as if he was looking for every difference from Kunpeng.
"In the next sentence, there are poor clans in the East. The man bowed slightly, and then paid no attention to them, but continued to plant willows.
"Under Li Chuxun!" Li Chuxun wanted to return the gift, but seeing that he continued to do his own business without distraction, he couldn't help but shake his head.
Ju Mang still tore off a willow branch full of catkins from a willow tree that was almost wilting on the side, and then put it into a dug pit and buried it with loess. Seeing that he had already planted more than a dozen branches after a while, Li Chuxun couldn't help but be a little amazed, "Is this a willow tree?"
"Willow? That's a good name, so let's call him Willow. Ju Mang seemed to be talking to himself, and his voice was very low, but he still kept digging pits, pulling willow branches, and sowing seeds in his hands.
"Chu Xun Dao Immortal! Since he doesn't even want to pay attention to you, why bother with him! Let's hurry, otherwise it will be dark and I don't know where to go to spend the night." Fenghou was a little impatient and shouted at Li Chuxun.
Just as Li Chuxun was about to turn around, Ju Mang stopped what he was doing, and then said excitedly, "Are you a Dao Immortal? Then I won't be saved?" Chu Xun Dao Immortal, please save our clan!"
Seeing Ju Mang kneeling down on one knee while speaking, Li Chuxun was suddenly a little flattered and said: "Ju Mang, why is this, get up first and then talk!"
When Li Chuxun supported Ju Mang with both hands, Chang Xian and Feng Hou also brought water from the stream on the side to wash off the sludge on Ju Mang's paws, and then Ju Mang told all the disasters of their poor clan.
Originally, in the land of Dongyi, this stream was not only a few zhang wide, but was gathered by many streams to form a wide river. Every summer, the water of that great river rises and causes a torrent. The place where the torrent was raging was like a vast ocean, which made the poor clan people in the hinterland of the river miserable, so before the torrent flooded, many clan warriors were sent to the source of the river thousands of miles away to start planting trees.
"In that case, then what can I do for you, not to mention that I am only a disciple of the Dao, not a real Dao Immortal. Li Chuxun said with some doubts.
"It's easy! If you can change the direction of the stream, won't our clan be plagued by floods again? As he spoke, he seemed to see a ray of dawn, and his eyes were shining as he stared at Li Chuxun.
Chang Xian saw that Li Chuxun didn't speak, and he himself added: "Brother Chu Xun won't do these things that hurt heaven and reason! If you change the direction of the flow, won't it harm other clans? I think, you should plant trees with peace of mind!"
In Li Chuxun's opinion, the smart Chang Xian can always help Li Chuxun solve these trivial matters, so he touched the back of his head, revealing a look of approval.
"In that case, then don't work hard. After saying that, he turned around and continued to plant willow branches.
The sky gradually darkened, and after saying goodbye to Jumang, Li Chuxun and the others walked along the stream, gradually losing their way. The ancient sky was not so turbid, but there were no objects to guide the direction, and it was really not easy to distinguish east, west, north and south.
"Wait!" Suddenly, Li Chuxun let out a low roar, and Chang Xian and Fenghou were also frightened and stood aside.
"Is there an earthquake?" Immediately after, Li Chuxun stopped, then leaned down and put his ear on the ground. With his keen senses, he seemed to feel a slight tremor getting closer and closer, and the magnitude of the tremor was such that even an elephant could not fall so much.
"Why don't I feel any movement?" said Fenghou, who listened carefully, and could not hear anything on the banks of the silent stream except for the slight flow of the stream.
"You have to believe Brother Chu Xun! Every time he predicts the situation, he never misses it!" Chang said first, and also learned that Li Chuxun put his ear on the ground.
"It's not good! Although it's not an earthquake, it's also a behemoth, listening to the direction is coming from this side, everyone quickly bypass this way!" Li Chuxun said, feeling the Ying Dragon Ball with one hand of the Dao Fa, and the other hand pinching the trick to prepare for the danger that may arise at any time.
They avoided the path along the river and instead walked towards the grassy loess slopes. However, the soil seemed to have a magnetic surname, and with each step, the soil on his feet accumulated more and more, and finally it became difficult to walk normally. But soon, Li Chuxun found that the previous tremor had disappeared, and as if it had never appeared, the surroundings fell silent again.
"I think we'd better walk along the river, and I think it won't be long before we'll find a place to stay. Li Chuxun looked directly at his eyes, and in the gradually darkening dusk, he saw the faint light dozens of miles away, like candlelight, and a little like a pile of wood fire.
"Brother Chu Xun, you see, the river seems to be all gone!" Chang Xian said, Li Chuxun also turned his head, only to find that the wide river formed by the streams they saw not long ago had disappeared in less than half an hour after they had detoured, leaving only the dry riverbed.
"Looks like we've encountered a lot of strange things along the way...... Windhou muttered to himself, then picked up a piece of gravel and threw it at the dry riverbed.
I thought I heard a "bang" impact, but there was an unexpected roar, "Who smashed it!"
Could it be that there is someone under the riverbed? Fenghou and Chang Xian were suddenly a little creepy, under this dark riverbed, there was obviously only a pitch black left, how could it be......
"Be careful, let me see the situation first!" Li Chuxun said, taking a step forward along the embankment, but then he showed that look of disbelief.
An indescribably tall body rose from the riverbed, and an arm stretched out from that body several feet above where they were. With the support of the arm, a behemoth stood up from the riverbed, and the magnificence of its body could not be described as a mountain.
"Which of you smashed it?" it doesn't hurt or itch, and the Tao can be regarded as waking me up!" the voice was deafening, and his saliva dripped on the riverbed.
A scene of the giant country that only existed in the movie came to Li Chuxun's mind, if it was in modern times, seeing this giant might be able to make the world pay attention, but now is the ancient period, and he is used to seeing strange and strange people have long been able to accept the appearance of people in any form in front of his eyes.
