Chapter 54: Descending the Mountain
Ling Huayin watched a few people walk away, and when she turned around, she saw Situ Yan's thoughtful expression, only to hear Situ Yan say: "The disciple who stood at the end just now ......"
"What's wrong with him?"
"Maybe I'm wrong, I seem to see a dark shadow in him. ”
Ling Huayin was taken aback: "Black shadow?"
Situ Yan nodded and muttered, "It's like the demon on the day of the trial...... You have to tell Xiao Mu to be careful when you turn around. ”
Ling Huayin frowned slightly, and felt that Situ Yan's words could not be believed, so she said, "Do you think there is still a demon in Xianze Palace?"
"You can't make any assumptions, but it's good to be careful. ”
Ling Huayin looked at Situ Yan, with a tentative attitude, and said, "Do you say that the heart demon will target Xiao Mu?"
Situ Yan looked incredulous, and smiled: "Linghua, shouldn't you be scared by the heart demon last time, don't you usually believe in your apprentice the most? What kind of heart does Su Mu have, when the heart demon meets him, it is difficult to take advantage of the loopholes." ”
"Really?" Ling Huayin suddenly fell into deep thought.
"Linghua, Linghua?" Situ Yan saw that Linghua Yin was distracted, and called her twice before she reacted, so she smiled and said: "This time, the new senior disciple went down the mountain to eliminate demons, and I heard that Linghua is going to go with him?"
Ling Huayin nodded and said, "Not long after I returned to Xianze Palace, the head of the sect wanted me to take over some more disciple affairs, and don't always stay in Qingluan Palace. ”
"What the head of the house said also makes sense, you always close the door, you should walk around and have a look. ”
"Anyway, I can't do without this Zhonghuang Mountain, it's not the same wherever I go, I'm afraid that this splendid mountain and river will not have a chance with me. Ling Huayin said that the clouds were light and light, but others only felt lonely when they heard it.
Situ Yan looked at Ling Huayin's back and couldn't help but shake his head secretly.
It is said that this going down the mountain to eliminate demons is a necessary course for the senior disciples of Xianze Palace to experience, and it is also an excellent opportunity for the disciples to temporarily bid farewell to the palace rules and travel to the mountains and rivers, so every time the new senior disciples leave the mountain gate in a majestic manner, the remaining disciples will watch them go down the mountain with envy, imagining that they are the next batch of people to go down the mountain, but not everyone has this opportunity. And Su Mu caught up with the luckiest time, he was promoted to a senior disciple within a month of coming, and he also caught up with the disciple who went down the mountain for the first time this year.
"Xiao Mu, you have really walked eight lifetimes, I have waited for a year to go down the mountain this time, it is considered fast, you are riding the Qingyun Snow Sculpture on the top of the Zhonghuang Mountain, and you are going down the mountain to eliminate demons. After a period of contact, Su Mu found that Shang Yue was a chatter.
Su Mu dismissed, "Is the Qingyun Snow Sculpture very powerful? ”
Shang Yue snorted: "Don't underestimate it, it's the most ferocious guardian of Zhonghuang Mountain, and it can tear people in half." ”
"Oh? I really don't see it. Su Mu couldn't help laughing, as if he didn't believe it, "I think it's all old, how can it tear people in half, heh!"
At this time, Zhou Yi on the side heard their conversation, flew closer, and said, "Senior Brother Su Mu, the Qingyun Snow Sculpture is the holy bird of Zhonghuang Mountain, you must not underestimate it." ”
Seeing that they were so after the eagle, Su Mu asked, "Have you seen its strength?" ”
"The junior brother doesn't know, the Qingyun Snow Sculpture is the divine eagle next to the goddess enshrined in Zhonghuang Mountain, and Lin Ge was imprisoned when he had a great credit. Zhou Yi explained.
Su Mu couldn't help but raise his eyebrows, it seemed that he really underestimated the bird, "Yes, I thought that Lin Ge was sealed by the head elders of the three palaces!"
A few people chatted all the way, and it didn't take long to see everyone landing on the ground, and it seemed that the demon plague was nearby.
As soon as everyone reached the ground, some people secretly complained: "What kind of place is this? It's different from before, there is not even a village, is it possible to sleep here?"
When Ling Huayin heard this, she heard her say coldly: "Don't you have a place to stay, then go back to Xianze Palace and wrap yourself in the quilt." ”
As soon as these words came out, the disciples did not dare to speak again. Bai Zhen, who came with him, smiled and said, "Okay, junior sister, they are still young, don't you be so strict!"
Ling Huayin glanced at Bai Zhen lightly and said, "Except for a demon, it depends on the conditions, has Xianze Palace been raising children all these years? You should set an example for them, not get used to them." ”
Bai Zhen was choked by Ling Huayin, because she was an elder, and it was difficult for her to come out again.
Cen Siwen walked to Bai Zhen's side, although he didn't speak, there was comfort in his eyes.
Shang Yue whispered in Su Mu's ear and said, "Look, it's eyebrow again." ”
Su Mu didn't like to care about this, but after listening to Shang Yue's gossip, he walked away.
At night, except for the disciples who were sent out to investigate the demon trouble, they went out with Ling Huayin, and the rest of the disciples slept by the river. Su Mu went down the mountain this time and specially brought Yin Tao out, and when he saw that the disciples were resting by the bonfire, he took Yin Tao out to look for game. Thinking that this place was not far from the Great Wilderness Mountain, Su Mu thought about the wine in the cellar, so he wanted to get some to drink.
"Yin Tao, I'll take you to see something good. As soon as Su Mu thought of the wine, he immediately sped up his flight.
According to the original waterway to the underground wine cellar, Su Mu first bowed and took a big sip of wine, and immediately felt happy, and filled it with the gourd he brought with him, and said with a smile: "Fortunately, there are enough gourds brought this time, just fill all the wine here, and then roast a hare, it is simply delicious in the world!"
Su Mu saw that Yin Tao had been staring at his gourd, so he asked, "Yin Tao, do you want to come a little too?"
Yin Tao nodded again and again.
"Here!" Su Mu smiled, took the gourd stopper, and leaned to Yin Tao's mouth.
Yin Tao took Su Mu's gourd and tasted it curiously, but he didn't expect that after a short while, Yin Tao turned into a big red peach, and Yin Tao couldn't help but burp. Suddenly, a halo of light shrouded Yin Tao's body, startling Su Mu.
"Yin Tao, you ......"
Su Mu looked at Yin Tao in shock, and saw a lovely cardamom girl sitting in front of her, dressed in pink clothes, with a drunken flush on her blown-up face, looking weak and pitiful. A voice is even softer and sweeter, and it can drip water: "Brother Mu, Yin Tao seems to be a little dizzy." ”
Su Mu looked at the girl in front of him, his mouth was wide open, a little at a loss, he couldn't believe that this was Yin Tao.
"Are you Yin Tao?" Su Mu confirmed again.
The girl looked down at herself, obviously frightened by her appearance at this time, opened her innocent eyes, and said with surprise and joy: "Ah...... Yin Tao, Yin Tao has become a human?"
Su Mu glanced at the wine in the gourd, and then looked at Yin Tao, as if he had discovered a shocking secret, and said, "This wine is also amazing, it can turn a fairy beast into a human." ”
"Brother Mu. Yin Tao called Su Mu softly.
Su Mu didn't know what to do, and said with a sad face: "You don't look good with me going back, you will be treated as a monster." It's all my fault, I shouldn't have given you this wine. ”
Seeing that Su Mu was not very happy, Yin Tao thought that she had done something wrong, and said with a crying voice: "Brother Mu, is Yin Tao's appearance ugly, do you hate Yin Tao?"
Su Mu was about to cry when he saw Yin Tao, and hurriedly said: "No, no, you look so good, it's just that you were originally a fairy beast, and now you have suddenly become a human, if I take you back at this juncture, others will definitely treat you as a monster." ”
When Yin Tao heard Su Mu say this, she said happily: "Brother Mu, am I really good-looking like this?"
Yin Tao looked at herself expectantly, Su Mu also looked at the girl Yin Tao seriously, although she was still young, she showed her innocence with her gestures, but she was already a beauty embryo, a pair of apricot eyes were still ashamed, her cherry mouth was full and ruddy, and her skin was white and red, which made people feel pity.
"Good looking. Su Mu said bluntly, but it was purely appreciation, and there was no desire for hue.
Yin Tao's face flushed, and she bowed her head shyly and said nothing.
"Yin Tao, you wait for me here first, and when I find the master and tell her about it, I will come back to you. Su Mu said.
Yin Tao said "mm-hmm" twice and said, "Brother Mu, I'll wait for you here, and I'm not going anywhere." ”
"Good. After Su Mu finished speaking, he left the mountain stream and went to find Ling Huayin.
Not long after this left, Su Mu suddenly heard a burst of women's coquettish laughter, which was very infiltrating in the night. So he grasped the hilt of his sword and looked around, but he saw no one. Unexpectedly, the laughter was getting closer and closer, wafting around Su Mu. Suddenly, there was a sound in the grass, and Su Mu looked at it intently, only to see a black snake shuttling quickly through the grass, coming in his direction. Before Su Mu could pull out the Earth Sword, the snake bit his ankle, and Su Mu immediately fainted.
After a while, a bewitching woman in black appeared on the lawn. The woman stared at Su Mu on the grass and said, "You dare to drink all my private wine, I see that you kid is not small, the woman is not here today, see that I don't teach you a good lesson, hehe......hee" After that, the woman in black carried Su Mu on her shoulders and swayed away.
It didn't take long for Su Mu to smell a good fragrance, and when he opened his eyes, he was lying on a big white bed, surrounded by smoke, as if he was in a fairyland. He hurriedly sat up from the bed, looked around, and saw that there was a pool next to the bed, and a black tail was dangling in the water, Su Mu immediately became alert, and subconsciously went to take his Earth Demon Sword, but touched his waist, and it was empty. Su Mu was startled, only to find that his coat and sword were gone, and he was only wearing a white inner robe.
"You're awake!" a delicate female voice came from the pool.
Su Mu looked up and saw a beautiful woman with a snake head swimming towards him.
"Youkai!" Su Mu exclaimed.
The beautiful snake smiled and said: "Why is it called the slave family like this, the slave family is called Wanwan." Why are you so annoying, drinking the slave's wine, and still want to just leave like that?"
"Wine?" Isn't it that the wine in the cellar is the snake demon's, Su Mu's mind quickly turned, and said: "It turns out that the wine belongs to the girl, sorry, I thought it was without a master, and I drank the girl's wine by mistake, I will compensate the girl, please return my things to me." ”
The beautiful snake covered her mouth and smiled, and immediately transformed into a human appearance, she was half-leaning on the edge of the pool, looking at Su Mu on the bed with silky eyes, two white beautiful legs looming in the water, and her demeanor was enchanting, Su Mu could not withstand this, so she was so ashamed that she hurriedly lowered her head.
