The sky was dim, and the setting sun was radiating its last remaining heat to the earth. The forest soon became a paradise for hunting wild beasts at night.
Li Yu discovered that there were many monsters hidden in this inaccessible mountain forest.
They may be strong or weak. They call themselves a small world and have their own rules and ways of survival.
This stretch of high mountains, which stretches for thousands of miles, cannot be built with villages or towns due to its steep terrain and continuous mountains, so there are almost no traces of human beings.
Here, what prevails is the purest law of nature, the law of the jungle.
Li Yu was like a fish in water in a place like this, with no human ties or worldly worries. He climbed the mountains at sunrise and went to sleep at sunset, slowly walking towards Chengdu.
The monsters, demons and monsters in the mountains are no match for him.
When encountering Li Yu, they would either run away and hide, or crawl on their stomachs and dare not move.
Occasionally, there were a few people who didn't open their eyes, but Li Yu took care of them smoothly, and sometimes the food could be improved.
Li Yu strolled to a valley and saw mountain flowers stretching for several miles. They were as brilliant as flames and the fragrance of the flowers was indeed overflowing.
There is still a chill in the air, with smoke and rain, and the air is gloomy. The power of the wood spirit here is strong, and it is a good place for dual cultivation.
Li Yu couldn't help but marveled. He stepped forward and crushed a petal with his fingers, but he didn't see what kind of flower it was.
He picked up some dead branches and piled them into a small tower shape by the stream, and then used a fireball to hit the firewood.
I made a hammock with two vines and planned to rest here for the night.
Just as he closed his eyes, he heard a rustling sound. Li Yu pretended not to know, but with a slight movement of his fingers under his body, a paper crane the size of a ladybug flew into the air.
Using the crane as an eye, I saw two little monsters hiding among the mountain flowers. These two little monsters were red all over and had horns on their heads. I don't know what kind of strange species they were.
The two little demons were sneaking around, peeping at Li Yu among the flowers, and slowly getting closer.
Li Yu didn't move, but looked at them quietly, wondering what they were going to do.
Soon, the two little demons could no longer hold themselves back. They swarmed up from the flowers, lifted Li Yu and walked forward.
When they walked out of the valley, the camellias on both sides disappeared and there were thorns everywhere.
This time, the bushes were as dense as barbed wire, with thorns on them that were sharper than needles.
The daisies are wrapped around the ancient trees, and the vines and kudzu are wrapped around the weeping poplars. The coils are like a frame, and the connections are like a bed. It is said that it is difficult for people, even birds and beasts, to escape.
Fortunately, the two little demons knew the secret passage and moved quickly, carrying Li Yu without losing breath.
Li Yu let them carry him and soon arrived at a manor.
This manor was built next to a stream, and there was even a large plaque on the door lintel with the words "Muxian Temple" written on it.
There is also a couplet on both sides, which reads: The thorns climb eight hundred miles, but in ancient times there were roads that were rarely traveled.
When the two little demons carried Li Yu inside, someone greeted him and said in a low voice: "Where is the king?"
"Let's entertain guests in the back garden."
Li Yu secretly thought to himself, there is indeed a demon. He is really tired from climbing up and down the mountain. He will take a look at his physique and pick up a mount if it suits him.
Someone led them to the back garden, where a banquet was set up. The banquet was filled with fine wines and delicacies. Several people were sitting around, making it very lively.
"Your Majesty, I have captured a handsome man." The little demon asked for credit.
Li Yu secretly thought to himself, this little demon has discernment and will spare your life soon.
"How many years have passed since there were humans in Briar Ridge? Where did you catch them?"
"This guy was sleeping in the Yanxia Pavilion. He was too big-hearted and was carried back by our brothers."
The banshee at the table laughed and said: "It turns out he is a sleeping god. As expected, his heart is bright and his belly is spacious."
Those people turned their heads to look, and immediately stood up. A plump and beautiful woman was the leader, and she glanced at Li Yu and said, "The appearance is not ugly, but the physique is not very strong, and does not have the masculine beauty of a man."
"No, no, that's wrong. The beauty of a man lies in his elegance and purity, his richness and splendor, but not his physique."
Another old man twisted his beard and said: "Yes, it seems that we are born solid, with different body functions. We feel the heaven and earth to give birth to our bodies, and are nourished by the rain and dew. We laugh proudly at the wind and frost, while the sun and moon are passing away. Not a single leaf withers, but a thousand branches are stagnant.
He is a truly handsome man.”
The beautiful woman giggled and said: "They are all like you old guys, they are fancy but useless."
"You are also vulgar, you are not as elegant as Xing'er."
"Pooh!"
Li Yu also took a look at the banshee and felt a little disappointed. It couldn't be used as a mount, at least not during the day.
Looking next to her, there are four old men, all dressed as scribes.
Li Yu did some testing and found out that they were all wood-type monsters, probably the same as Qin Keqing, but after practicing for so long, their auras combined were not even half as high as Keqing's.
Limited by their talents and the aura of this place, if they continue to practice, their achievements will probably be difficult to reach Keqing's current level.
This female demon is a peach blossom spirit who has practiced Taoism for a thousand years. The four old men are respectively pine, cypress, juniper and bamboo demons, and have practiced Taoism for more than a thousand years.
"Strange, why doesn't this young man wake up?"
She stretched out her hand to touch it, but was stopped by an old man, "Don't you know that men and women are not intimate with each other?"
"Sister Xingxian is not married yet, so I just want to make her a wishful husband."
Peach Blossom Spirit pinched her waist and said angrily: "You old guys are so partial."
While they were talking here, they heard sweet laughter coming from outside the stone house.
There were two girls in green clothes, choosing a pair of gauze lanterns, and leading a woman behind them. The woman held a sprig of apricot blossoms in her hand and walked in to meet them with a smile.
"A few people are talking about me behind my back again."
This woman was wearing a crimson brocade jacket, with apricot blossom lace embroidered on the edge, and a white jade hairpin in her bun. Her skin was fair and delicate, her eyes were full of water, and her cheeks were tinged with pink.
It looked more and more delicate and tender. Li Yu took a closer look and found out that it was an apricot tree demon. No wonder it was called Xing'er.
"Hey, sister Xing'er is here. She has just found a suitable husband for you and is about to send someone to call you."
Li Yu secretly thought, these fairies in the mountains are really bold and bold.
"Sister Xingxian, do you really want to get married to him?"
Xingxian glanced at Li Yu and said with a blushing face: "What are you going to do if you don't play around while you're having a good night? What kind of situation can you have in life?"
"If Xingxian is interested, he can teach Fuyunsou to be a matchmaker with Shiba Gong. Lingkongzi and I will stay married and we will get married. Why not be happy!"
All the demons burst into laughter.
Li Yu sighed, sat up, held his knees and said, "I originally wanted to catch a mount, but I didn't know that I would encounter some of you bad guys. It's really unlucky."
The little demon next to me shouted: "Be bold!"
Li Yu no longer restrained his spiritual energy, and his aura was released, making all the little demons tremble in fear.
The pines, cypresses, junipers, bamboos, peaches and apricots all looked shocked and frightened.
"The little demon does not know the immortal. I have offended you. Please forgive me."
Li Yu walked to the table, sat down, raised the wine bottle and took a sip, "Good wine. Who are you?"
When several fairies heard this, they hurried forward. The oldest one said: "So that the immortal will know that we are all old trees in the forest and have become fairies. I am a pine tree, named Jin Jie Eighteenth Duke, and this is a cypress tree."
The name is Gu Zhi Gong, this juniper tree is named Lingkongzi, this bamboo pole is named Fuyunsou, this is Tao Yaoyao, and this is Xingxian'er."
Li Yu took a closer look and asked, "What's the backstage?"
Tao Yaoyao rolled her eyes, stepped forward to pour a glass of wine for Li Yu, and said coquettishly: "If the Immortal does not give up, you will be our backstage."
Li Yu asked calmly: "I ask you, have you ever harmed anyone?"
"Never!"
Fu Yunsou smiled and said: "Shangxian Mingjian, even if we want to harm people, no one will harm us. No one can come to this place for hundreds of years."
Li Yu hesitated in his heart, whether he should establish a branch of the Jingjing Ridge of the Zhengjing Sect here to carry forward my Qingmu Jue.
