The wind blew through the forest, and in the rustling sound, accompanied by Chen Yuan's words, the chewing old cow looked at the approaching middle-aged scholar and let out a "moo", and a creepy feeling crawled up his back.
As if seeing the strong demonic energy suppressed in the opponent's body, Lao Niu turned around and ran behind Chen Yuan with the grass in his mouth, carefully moving half of his face to take a peek.
"There's something evil about it!"
The crazy old man who was playing in the mountain valley raised his face, jumped on the shoulders of the two shadows, crossed his arms on his chest, and came up with great dignity, "Good disciple, there is a monster! Let me, my master, finish it!"
"Master, no need."
Chen Yuan stretched out her hand to stop the crazy old man, and greeted the scholar who was also walking towards him with a smile. Chen Yuan felt that she had no grudge against him, not to mention that they had met each other and were quite harmonious. There was no need to be cautious in everything, but it seemed that she was making a fuss.
The middle-aged scholar was the same Hu Yong who was on his way to Luodu. Unexpectedly, he met him here, or did he find him deliberately?
Four or five steps away, Chen Yuan raised his hand: "I've met Brother Hu."
"I'm afraid you already knew my identity five years ago, but you still pretended not to know, which made me want to hide it and give you a surprise." A middle-aged scholar named Hu Yong returned the gift and looked at it.
The young man in front of him had a faint smell of incense. "It seems that a lot of things have happened to Brother Chen in recent years. Why don't we sit nearby and talk over there."
"Brother Hu, I'm eager to invite you." Chen Yuan stretched out her hand and said, "Please."
"please."
The two walked side by side, one on the left and the other on the right. Standing in the shadow of a lone tree in the forest, the crazy old man shouted to his apprentice: "Don't fight? You finally have something fun, why don't you fight?"
"
The old man rubbed his messy beard, turned his head, and looked at the old cow beside him.
'Look what I'm doing?'
The old cow looked at the crazy old man and gradually revealed a terrifying smile. The cow's tail that was swinging back and forth stood up straight, and he stepped back step by step: 'Master, I'm from your side... don't come here!'
It turned around and ran away. Behind it, nine black figures and a crazy old man waving a bell excitedly chased after it, flying all over the mountain col.
Unlike the excitement there, it seemed much quieter here under the tree.
Chen Yuan looked at the scene of the chase over there and peeked out from the oxcart to see a group of wood carvings gathered together again to place bets. He couldn't help but smile and looked at the middle-aged scholar next to him.
"How did Brother Hu go through this? I still remember...when we parted ways, Brother Hu had promised to come to Luodu to listen to the opera, so I could wait for a while."
Surrounded by woods and fields, with the foot of the mountain in the distance, few people pass by here, so don't worry about being overheard by others.
Over there, Hu Yong laughed, stood up and bowed to Chen Yuan.
"I broke the promise first, can't you forgive me, Brother Chen?"
It was just a joke, but this man took it seriously. Chen Yuan hurriedly stood up and helped him up, "It's just a joke, brother Hu, get up quickly."
Hearing these words, Hu Yong was stunned. He suddenly realized that human beings love to laugh at these words, but he took them too seriously. He couldn't help laughing out loud, stroking his short beard, and sat down again.
"Being a good person is not difficult, but learning how to be a good person is really difficult. After five hundred years of learning, I still haven't learned well enough."
Chen Yuan, who followed him to sit on the grass, twitched the corner of his mouth, "Good guy, you are a five-hundred-year-old fox, but shouldn't foxes be the smartest among monsters?"
How come you can't even recognize a joke?
Over there, the scholar smiled and said: "Brother Chen is secretly thinking about Hu again. To be honest, although I often leave the world, I just do things for others. I mostly deal with the monsters in the mountains and water. Brother Chen is the first one here."
Someone you know."
"That Yuan is so honored!"
"Are you joking again?"
"Truthfully."
The two looked at each other and then laughed together, causing the tired green cow and the crazy old man to lie down in the grass beside the mountain col and watch secretly.
"What are they laughing at? They are laughing so happily."
"I don't know... Master, you will know if you go over and listen."
The little white snake also swam into the grass and spat out a message: "It's better not to do it. That fox has a very high level of cultivation. It's better not to do anything to anger him."
One person and one cow turned around, looked at her, and all uttered a cry.
"Cowardly."
Little White Snake's eyes seemed to be full of anger, "Then you go."
The crazy old man flipped his hair and snorted: "I am crazy, but not stupid. I don't want to make my apprentice angry."
…
The rustling words rang in the distance. Even if the two people under the tree heard it, they actually didn't care. Hu Yong stopped laughing and looked at the people in the distance who retracted their heads: a man, a cow, and a snake.
, for a moment, he turned his gaze back.
"Brother Chen, were you the one who killed that litter of civet cats?"
Chen Yuan looked at the man with a gentle face. Even if he knew that the man was a demon, he did not hide it and nodded: "I killed him."
"You don't have to look at me like that." The scholar was embarrassed by being stared at by Chen Yuan. He waved his hand and turned his face away: "I also want to say that the killing is good. This nest of civet cats has long wanted to kill them."
The scholar narrowed his eyes.
"The old monster in the nest of civet cats was a white-haired civet. This monster used to practice in Juwu Mountain in the south, and I was relatively acquainted with it. Unfortunately, he was greedy and stole a monster king's treasure and escaped. In the past few years, I have gone out.
When I was on an errand, I was also searching for their whereabouts. But it seemed that they were deliberately hidden and misled me. I came here after finding out the news a few days ago, but I didn't expect that they had been taken away by Brother Chen. However, it was Brother Chen who killed him.
I killed those who were related to them and sought revenge, and I will take the responsibility for Brother Chen!"
As the scholar spoke eloquently, Chen Yuan never thought that he could kill the demon easily and accidentally help the other party. As for whether there was a demon coming to seek revenge, Chen Yuan didn't care. On the contrary, he was somewhat interested in that thing. After all,
The previous message sent back by Dian Wei also generally knew about the existence of this magic weapon.
"Then can you get your stuff back?"
"Isn't this?" Hu Yong didn't hesitate and pulled out a green vine branch from the bag, "This thing is called the wind raccoon stick. It refers to the thing that removes thoughts from the mind. It will be delivered to you on its own in the middle of the night..."
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! However, just when he took it out and wanted to demonstrate it to Chen Yuan, the ivy branch was touched by the sun and in the eyes of the two people, it withered instantly and turned into gray and black.
One place.
"Fake!" Hu Yong had a look of surprise on his face. Originally, he had checked and found nothing wrong. He wanted to show off in front of his friends, but now he actually slapped him and threw him away.
face.
"Brother Hu, this thing..."
"Someone has taken the civet staff a long time ago..." Hu Yong pressed his hands on his knees and sat cross-legged, staring at the ashes on the ground with a solemn look: "It should be the person who helped the civet cat avoid this place."
As he said that, he looked at Chen Yuan: "Brother Chen, be careful. If the civet family is dead, that person will definitely know about it and will probably come to find them."
"It doesn't matter if you come here. If you can get along with this nest of harmful civet cats, you may not necessarily be a good person. Let's go together and send them down to reunite."
Chen Yuan seemed to say it easily, but he was very vigilant in his heart. After all, this five-hundred-year-old fox had been looking for him for a long time, so he must have advanced cultivation.
After saying a few more words, the scholar lost his treasure and had no intention of staying, so he stood up and left. Without waiting for Chen Yuan to return the greeting, he cupped his hand and hurriedly went into the forest. However, within a moment, the other party
Turned back again.
"By the way, Brother Chen, I have another thing for you. I encountered it on the road, and it seems to be following you. You can handle it on your own."
The scholar took out a black object from his bag and threw it away, then cast a spell to float it away.
And the thing opened its teeth and claws, and landed in front of Chen Yuan's feet with a clatter. It was the big toad that was behind the oxcart all the way. At this time, its long tongue was hanging out, and its eyes were spinning in its sockets. When it saw Chen Yuan,
"Quack!" he said and fainted.
"I really don't want to give up."
Chen Yuan picked it up with his fingers, took it to the bullock cart, threw it into it, and called the master and Lao Niu over there to come back.
"It's still a long way from Liangya Mountain, so we have to hurry up."
"I know, I know." The crazy old man stepped into the car and rang the bell: "But eat your food first before leaving."
hehe!
Chen Yuan nodded with a smile, whipped up his whip, and Lao Niu dragged the carriage and quickly disappeared into the woods. He passed through a nearby town, bought food, and continued on the official road, following the map's guidance.
Go long pickaxe.
It will only take two or three days to go to Liangya Mountain.
…
The oxcart drove through Xiazhou to Changhao. During the one hundred and seventy miles it passed by Juwang Mountain, the mountains were steep and the green forests and wild birds scattered in panic.
Under the setting sun, birds were circling and not daring to fall.
Roar~~
The loud roar of the tiger shook the mountain, and then the sound disappeared. A striking tiger hit the mountain wall, with blood flowing out of its mouth and nose. The traces of blood turned into red threads flying, and the majestic and colorful tiger body instantly turned into
A shriveled corpse.
In the direction where the countless silk threads extend, on the cliff in the distance, an old man in red robe is enjoying the comfort of red silk.
Beside him, there was a branch of ivy lying quietly.
Soon, the old man opened his eyes and looked at the rolling green fields outside the mountain.
"Chen Yuan...it's so wonderful that you came this way."
