The shadow of the snake snaked silently down the tree and disappeared without a trace.
Soon, a black-clothed scholar came from the east with a box full of books on his back.
The swordsman and the scholar met face to face, one wearing a snake-tooth necklace and the other wearing a fish-scale bracelet. After meeting, the former was slightly stunned, while the latter seemed to be smiling.
The scholar bent down, but he couldn't see much humility, his eyebrows were full of the arrogance of a young man: "This gentleman, Xiaosheng is polite. Xiaosheng's surname is Ming, the word is a night, and he was born in a scholar. This time he went to the city for a test. , but every time a serious illness occurs, it seems that I will miss the exam date, so I have to go around this mountain road. It is a blessing to meet my husband when I am in a panic. I wonder if my husband can give Xiaosheng a ride?"
After saying that, he raised his eyes and blinked frivolously at the swordsman in white.
The swordsman in white recognized him at a glance, probably because he was dressed as a scholar, he felt amused, and pressed his lips with a fan.
Seeing his behavior like this, Ye Jiming was stunned for a moment, and even once thought that the person in front of him was really his little fish, not the dashing guest who drank, cursed and talked with him, but didn't know his true identity.
Whether it was Duan Shujue's expression or his usual movements, the man imitated it perfectly.
… as real as an illusion.
Yan Jinhua was shocked.
Sure enough, everything was as written in the book, and Ye Jiming also came to the mountain.
He is most likely to capture the mountain ghost elixir, so that it is convenient for cultivation,
But after all, he is his benefactor, and he is not qualified to compete with him.
The more Yan Jinhua thought about it, the more he felt that he had done a beautiful business before.
He made a clever trick and accepted two younger brothers, one was willing to charge for himself and be a pawn, and the other, although he had no conscience, seemed to be very fond of Duan Shu.
Taking Duan Shujue's protagonist's halo alone, the mountain ghost is already within his grasp.
When the mountain ghost is slain, he only needs to entangle a few sentences with the paragraph of the book. With his indisputable softness and kindness, and the kindness he has shown to him, this mountain ghost pill is as simple as finding something from a bag.
only…
He glanced at Wen Yujing.
Wen Yujing stood quietly holding the sword, seemingly without threat, but Yan Jinhua always suspected that he was deliberately targeting him.
Otherwise, why did he have bad luck after encountering him, first lose the Haizhu, and then lose the Duan Shujue
He had better be more acquainted, and stop competing with himself for the mountain ghost elixir, otherwise, he would have to teach this person who should be the protagonist in this world.
Yan Jinhua was examining Wen Yujing, and Ye Jiming was the same.
This person did not say anything about his midway joining, but it was beyond Ye Jiming's expectations.
Was he so unguarded that he didn't even ask a question
Wen Yujing is here, Ye Jiming is not good at this time to ask Wen Yujing, who is surnamed Chi, what is the origin of Wen Yujing, only swaggeringly joined the Sanque team as a scholar, and followed the crowd all the way slowly, waiting to see what happened. How the mountain ghost intends to stir up the situation.
It was June, the sun was getting hot, Yan Jinhua walked with scorched lips, and when the bottom of his throat was on fire, a thatched hut appeared by the roadside.
A young woman picks beans in front of her house with her back to several people.
Probably hearing footsteps, she put down the beans in her hand, and her voice was clear and moving: "Four guests, do you need tea?"
After that, she turned to look at the crowd.
The woman's appearance is mediocre, and her clothes are simple, but her clothes are clean and her temperament is not like an ordinary peasant woman.
Yan Jinhua chuckled.
What is the ancient way of catching Tang monks by Baigujing
Even if you want to confuse people, you should be a little more beautiful, right
Yan Jinhua's spiritual power is the lowest among these people. I only know what means this woman used to remove the spiritual power from her body. Others can't see why. She simply pretended to be deaf and looked at Duan Shujue. With Ye Jiming, let's see how they react.
Duan and Ye looked at each other, and both saw Huan Ran in each other's eyes.
Chi Xiaochi asked 061: "Sixth teacher, is this person too high in spiritual power, or..."
After Chi Xiaochi asked, Wen Yujing looked up and examined the woman.
She doesn't have that "reiki" that can be parsed.
… There is no demonic energy, no immortal energy, and the breathing is just like an ordinary person.
061 answered Chi Xiaochi's question cautiously: "If it's not human, it's God."
Hearing this, Chi Xiaochi probably had a number in his heart, and politely cupped his hands: "Then thank you girl."
There was a small wooden table next to the woman with a thick porcelain teapot on it. She brought a few bowls with missing corners and poured tea for everyone one by one.
She said gently: "After drinking tea, let's go down the mountain."
Yan Jinhua laughed secretly.
This kind of nonsense is no different from "three bowls but no posts", right? Isn't it just setting up mysteries, pretending, and waiting for people to ask questions
And that paragraph of the book really followed her words: "Why?"
The woman said, "Don't go forward. There are evil spirits in the mountains."
Ye Jiming shuddered deliberately and leaned in the direction of Duan Shujue, as if he was really a weak scholar.
Wen Yujing glanced at him, but didn't make a sound.
Duan Shujue Ye Jiming asked, "What evil ghost?"
The woman said: "Don't you know the legend of Shiyu Mountain? Thousands of years ago, Shiyu Mountain was still a place of exile, and there was an evil ghost who only eats human flesh."
Wen Yujing said: "When I got down the mountain, I listened to it for a while, but I didn't listen carefully. Can you ask the girl to talk about it in detail?"
Before they came, they really did some research, even more detailed than the background introduction written in the book.
Thousands of years ago, the area around Shiyu Mountain was a desolate place used to exile villains.
A young girl from a peasant family went to a neighboring town with her father to defect to her relatives. She was robbed by several villains when she passed by. Her father panicked.
The girl was not good-looking, but she was better when she was young and unmarried. After being repeatedly committed by wicked people, the gang did not dare to kill people. They were afraid that she would report to the officials, so they gouged out her eyes and abandoned her in a bamboo forest.
The girl was seriously injured and died in the forest before she could get out of the bamboo forest.
Until she fell bamboo leaves all over her body and gradually became one with the land and became humus, no one found her body.
I don't know when, there is a blind girl who is always walking in Shiyu Mountain, with white cloth tied around her eyes, holding a tattered bamboo stick.
She kept encountering people, saying that she had lost her way and begging someone to take her home.
Some people out of kindness, and some out of malice, agreed to her request.
The girl took them around the mountain, and if she had good intentions, she could often send her to a small firewood yard, receive two wild fruits, and leave safely. Those who are malicious often send her to the Chaiyuan and accept the wild fruit, and then ask her with good intentions: How can this rotten fruit be enough? What else can you give me in return
The girl replied, "A pair of eyes, okay?"
After saying that, she took off the white cloth covering her eyes.
That face, where there should have been eyes, was empty.
In the next instant, the eyes of the other party and hers will be exchanged.
Eyeless mountain ghosts often rob other people's eyes, but she didn't know how cursed she was during her lifetime, and the eyes that she got in exchange would shrink and degenerate in just a few days, turning into two pitch-black holes.
She then began to look for the next prey.
Those who saved their lives but lost their eyes fled down the mountain in terror. Most of them couldn't describe the woman's appearance in detail, and only brought down the girl's name.
The girl had introduced herself to everyone who led the way, but everyone had different opinions. Some said her name was Su, some said she was Su, and some said her family name was Su. Inspired by the words in this book, it is better to call her Su Ji.
Su Ji's notoriety was spread by word of mouth, and the people nearby didn't even dare to go up the mountain to collect firewood. They complained, but they didn't know what to do.
Later, a goddess who traveled all over the world came to rest in the small town at the foot of the mountain.
Thousands of years ago, there were not many Daoist practitioners, and even fewer were Daoists. People often called those who could fly through the clouds as gods.
The goddess listened to everyone's prayers and climbed up the mountain to capture and suppress the mountain ghosts.
The legend of the mountain ghost came to an end.
In order to thank the goddess, the people at the foot of the mountain spontaneously built the goddess temple and burned incense to worship. Although the world has changed and time has changed, Shiyu Town under Shiyu Mountain has been expanded into a large-scale city, and the goddess temple has long since become a spirit for women to predict marriage. Temple, but fortunately, the incense is flourishing for thousands of years.
I don't know if it is the blessing of the goddess, but the weather in the Shiyu Mountain area is gradually getting better, and the people are more grateful for the grace of the goddess.
Thousands of years later, due to a group of tomb robbers, the spirits of the suppressed mountain ghosts were released. Seven or eight tomb robbers were killed on the spot, and only one person escaped.
The mountain ghost came out again, but the goddess probably knew it long ago and disappeared.
The mountain ghost is a spirit bound by the earth, and it is reasonable to say that he cannot leave Shiyu Mountain, but it is said that when someone was sleeping at home in the city, he felt the sky was stuffy, so he woke up in the middle of the night and opened the window to ventilate. Facing him, his hands drooped, and the gauze tied behind his head was extremely long, flying with the wind.
As if hearing the movement of the window opening, she turned around.
As soon as the resident who opened the window saw her face clearly, she was frightened and fainted and almost died.
After waking up the next day, there were rumors of the mountain ghost entering the city. Those who witnessed it claimed that the mountain ghost was not only blind now, but half of his face had rotted into bones, and his resentment would definitely be heavier.
There were several waves of cultivators in the mountains, but unfortunately, they all went back and forth.
The people at the foot of the mountain were panicking, and the incense of the Goddess Temple became more and more prosperous, and the smoke did not go out day and night.
In the incense day and night, Duan Shujue and the others went up the mountain.
The woman in front of her said that the mountain ghost hurts people, the goddess subdues the ghost, and the mountain ghost reappears. All kinds of situations are not far from what they know.
After listening to her, Ye Jiming asked curiously, "Aren't you afraid?"
The woman was coherent and eloquent: "I lived here for a long time before she came. If I leave this place, where can I go? Besides, I am a woman, not a man who harmed her, and she will not harm me. ."
Hearing this, 061 asked Chi Xiaochi, "Any ideas?"
Chi Xiaochi replied, "No."
061: "What's wrong?"
Chi Xiaochi took a sip of tea and glanced intently at the woman's hand, but did not answer.
In the book "The Immortal King of the Merman", Duan Shu never met this woman, but asked Ye Jiming to meet him, and persuaded him, who was disguised as a scholar, to go down the mountain.
In the book, Ye Jiming originally came for the mountain ghost Dan Jing, and he agreed with all his mouth, then turned around and changed the mountain road to go up the mountain. After a lot of painstaking work, he was finally captured as he wished.
When the two were thrown into the same cell, Ye Jiming mentioned the incident of meeting the woman on the road, but after that, the author hurriedly closed the Shiyu Mountain Line, so this foreshadowing was not recovered.
Based on the analysis of the information known so far, it is very likely that this woman really persuaded people to go down the mountain, rather than pretending to catch others' curiosity and deliberately leading people up the mountain, and because she was only a mortal and lacked skills, she was able to persuade Ye Jiming. I can't advise against paragraph books.
But if she is really like what she said, she is just a lonely woman, guarding a road into the mountain all day, risking the risk of being targeted by mountain ghosts at any time, just to do good deeds
Although Su Ji from a thousand years ago still has some bottom lines and has never hurt good people, who knows what she will look like after a thousand years
Where did she get the confidence that the mountain ghost would not hurt her
Besides, her hands...
The four of them finished drinking, thanked her for the tea, and turned to go down the mountain until they could no longer see the woman, then they changed lanes.
The fellow Daoists were still trapped on the mountain by the monster, and they had no reason to return home.
Duan Shujue looked at Ye Jiming, who pretended to be pitiful, wronged and helpless, and deliberately teased: "Ming son, if you are afraid, you might as well go the other way."
Ye Jiming looked at Duan Shujue sadly: "I hope the son will protect Xiaosheng, but Xiaosheng depends entirely on the son."
While he was dealing with the same paragraph of the book, he secretly looked at Wen Yujing, and scolded the surname Wen in his heart.
If Wen Yujing, who is in the way, doesn't follow, why should he pretend to be weak now
Although Xiaoyu can't manipulate his body now, he can see everything that is happening outside. If Wen Yujing is not here, why would he have to bind his hands and feet like this, fearing that the demon power will leak out, he can show these three things in front of Xiaoyu long ago. The achievements of the practice that have been advancing by leaps and bounds in the past month have been achieved.
The more time he spent with Xiaoyu through the ordeal, the more he could feel good about himself.
It was enough for Wen Yujing to occupy Xiaoyu for so many days, why didn't he let go
After walking for a while, he was almost approaching the top of the mountain. Chi Xiaochi wanted to observe the situation nearby to see if there was any change, so he asked Wen Yujing, "Master, are you tired?"
Wen Yujing understood what he meant and pushed the boat along the flow: "There are some."
Ye Jiming hurriedly interjected: "I'm tired too."
Chi Xiaochi glanced at him, Ye Jiming squinted and smiled, but his hand grabbed Chi Xiaochi's belt with force.
Wen Yujing glanced at Ye Jiming's hand tightly clutching his belt without saying a word.
At this moment, 061 and Ye Jiming were clearly thinking of different people, but they were not very comfortable.
As for Yan Jinhua, he felt that he was redundant.
He didn't expect Ye Jiming, who has always been cold-hearted, to treat him attentively, but he didn't expect to be so alienated, as if he had never known him.
What surprised him even more was Duan Shujue.
In just three short months, Duan Shujue seems to have been reborn. His face is still that beautiful face, but his temperament has precipitated a lot, and he will never see the licking dog that was eagerly looking forward to his return home.
… the contrast is scary.
Especially after enjoying the pleasure of being kneeled and licked by the protagonist, and seeing the normal Duan Shujue, Yan Jinhua just felt that something was not right. He wanted to go up and consolidate his feelings. Duan Shujue is on the left hand side is Wen Yujing, on the right hand side On the side is Ye Jiming, who can't hold his position at all.
When he was restless, he heard his system mutter: "Strange."
His system seldom speaks outside of the release of reward information, and his sudden voice made Yan Jinhua startled.
When he came back to his senses, Yan Jinhua said, "What's wrong? What's wrong with Duan Shu?"
"It's not Duan Shujue." The system replied, "...It's Wen Yujing."
"how?"
The system said: "The spiritual power emanating from him is too regular."
Yan Jinhua couldn't understand: "Huh? Isn't this normal?"
"...It's too accurate, like the result of careful calculation." The system paused and said, "Host, I can't draw a conclusion yet, I need to observe it again."
Yan Jinhua moved his butt on the hot rock: "No, your words are unclear, isn't it appetizing? What are you trying to say?"
The system said: "I suspect that Wen Yujing is also a transmigrator like you."
Yan Jinhua was startled, but the more he thought about it, the more reasonable it became.
Yes, because he is also a transmigrator, he knows how to pick up leaks and is committed to holding Duan Shujue's thigh tightly. He suddenly rushed out at the Jingxu Sword Conference, robbed his own orb, and also robbed Duan Shujue as a disciple.
It is precisely because he is also a transmigrator that he flattered Duan Shujue, and coaxed Duan Shu to be absolutely respectful, and he didn't even take himself seriously.
It was because he was also a traveler that he knew that there was Duan Shujue's luck in Shiyu Mountain, so he followed him to perform the mission.
What do you worry about as an apprentice, what a teacher for one day, and a father for life, they are all excuses!
It turned out, it turned out that this was the real reason why his plans frequently failed!
Yan Jinhua immediately found a reason for his disappointment and defeat these days, full of hope: "What if you are sure that he is also a transmigrator?"
"Generally speaking, our system is exclusive." After doubts arose, the system went to check the relevant regulations, "The charter is very clear, if there is a similar situation, in order to ensure the progress of the tasks on our system side. , our upper system will directly intercept the signal sent by the other system, imprison and detain it."
Yan Jinhua couldn't hide his joy: "In other words, can you drive it out directly?"
The system replied: "Not all, just bring it to our main god space to be temporarily imprisoned, and when it explains where it came from, and after we complete the task, we will beat him back to his place of origin. It is us who protect the host and successfully complete the task. obligations of every system.”
Yan Jinhua hurriedly said: "Then why don't you do it?"
The system replied: "Host, don't be impatient. This is not my responsibility. I need to collect considerable evidence before I can report to my higher-level system and submit a report."
Yan Jinhua had no choice but to clench his fists, trying to suppress his excessive excitement, and began to plan a beautiful plan after the disappearance of "Wen Yujing".
Once "Wen Yujing" loses the system, it will either disappear or be beaten back to its original shape.
At that time, Master will be notorious, and Duan Shu will definitely lose his trust.
But he still has the Sword in the Stone by his side, even if Wen Yujing is gone, Chi Yunzi may not let himself and Duan Shujue be together.
… there is.
Since he can destroy "Wen Yujing", he can also destroy Duan Shujue.
As long as he takes away the "Wen Yujing" system, the traverser wearing the "Wen Yujing" vest will definitely reveal his true shape. His identity came out to testify, ruining Duan Shujue's reputation, stealing medicine pills, colluding with outsiders, and his impure heart, any of which can bring down Duan Shujue, who is now highly valued by Chi Yunzi, and come forward to vouch for him. , Duan Shu will definitely fall to himself.
If you want a safe one, you can simply kill "Wen Yujing".
If Duan Shujue was charged with murdering a master, he would be completely destroyed, and he might even be hunted down by He Shan. As long as he comes forward at that time and shows kindness, he will not only get his gratitude, but also possibly get back the Sword in the Stone and the Dinghai Orb embedded in the Sword in the Stone. And his next series of luck.
Wait until his useful value is exhausted, and then try to get rid of it...
Yan Jinhua was too excited, and his mind was full of all kinds of salacious manipulations that he had seen in TV dramas before, so that when a terrifying coldness mixed with the woman's fragrance and climbed up her ankles, she was not able to immediately Aware, fainted.
