By coincidence, Nie Yueming fell from the tree and rolled down the hillside. He was surprised to find that hundreds of pheasants were nesting and breeding here.
This place is adjacent to the river, has abundant rainfall, and is covered with rare mushrooms under the peach trees.
The group of people harvested seven or eight pheasants almost effortlessly, as well as baskets full of mushrooms.
Mr. Song was in a rare mood, so he set up a pot and cooked in person, making an original dish of chicken stewed with mushrooms. In the wilderness, there were not many tools available, so he simply used a bamboo hat as a lid for the pot, poured in the extra osmanthus wine, and cooked it.
After a while, bursts of strong fragrance wafted out.
Xia Ze led Mu Tao and dug out a mud kiln ten steps away from Song Xi's stove. He picked up some dry peach branches and lit a fire. After about half an hour, the originally dark mud kiln turned purple-red.
Mu Tao put on a floral-blue coat and skirt, with a bright peach blossom attached to her soft blue silk stockings. Her hands were covered with soil, and her watery almond eyes were full of smiles.
She didn't know what Xia Ze wanted to do, but she thought the kiln-burning thing was particularly interesting, so she became more playful and got together with Xia Ze. She did whatever Xia Ze asked her to do.
Occasionally, Fu Qi and Li You would come over to take a look. After looking for a long time, they couldn't find any clues, so they continued back to the stove fire and stared at the fragrant pot of chicken stewed with mushrooms.
Mu Tao's pretty face was flushed by the kiln fire. Suddenly she heard Xia Ze stand up and say, "It's almost done." Then he pulled up the soil on the top of the kiln and threw in a few pheasants wrapped in lotus leaves.
Kicked down the earthen kiln that had been built with great difficulty.
Mu Tao was shocked beyond measure. In her own sect in Longshengzhou, the cooks at home were very skilled in cooking, and she had long been tired of eating all kinds of delicacies. She had never heard of such a rough cooking method.
Fu Qi looked at the two people lighting the fire, and smiled at Li You.
Li You said doubtfully: "I have never quite figured it out. There are so many experienced headhunters in Yunxi Town, why did Uncle Yao choose this guy?"
Fu Qi thought for a while and said, "That's true."
When it was time for dinner, the two women were responsible for distributing the food. Mu Tao was dressed less heroic today and looked fresh and well-behaved. Nie Yueming couldn't help but look at her a few more times.
Mu Tao smiled sweetly at this time and handed over a bowl full of rice soaked in soup: "You are sick, you should eat more and recover soon."
Nie Yueming was immediately flattered and couldn't help but be ecstatic. He took it tremblingly and took a bite. There was an itchy sound of sand and gravel cracking between his teeth.
His expression suddenly changed, and he opened his mouth to spit out the food in his mouth. Mu Tao opposite him narrowed his eyes and smiled: "Mr. Nie, is this food still to your liking?"
But Mu Tao's voice sounded in Nie Yueming's heart: "Eat it all. If you dare to spit it out, if there is any leftover, I will cut off your tongue."
Su Xian noticed that Nie Yueming's face was a little ugly, and asked with concern: "Senior Brother Nie, your face looks so bad. Is it because the previous injury has recurred?"
Nie Yueming, a mute man, ate Coptis chinensis and couldn't express the pain, so he had to swallow the bitter water in his stomach: "It's okay, I just ate too quickly and choked."
The corner of Xia Ze's mouth curled up slightly, and he walked up behind Nie Yueming and patted his back gently: "Oh, Brother Nie, it's true, no matter how delicious this meal is, you have to chew it carefully and slowly."
Nie Yueming made a sound of vomiting and kept vomiting.
"Senior brother, what's wrong with you!" Su Xian was startled and hurriedly stepped forward and asked with concern.
"Oops, Oops, what's wrong with you, Brother Nie? Did I shoot too hard, but I just tried to help you, but I wasn't very strong." Xia Ze pretended to be concerned.
He secretly hid his hand behind his back, and a thin electric current flashed through his palm.
"This food is so sweet and delicious. I ate it too quickly and bit my tongue." He looked tired, "I'm going to take a nap."
When he passed by Mu Tao, he glanced at Mu Tao guiltily, and in his heart, Mu Tao's voice sounded again.
"I will let you go this time. If you dare to do such ungrateful things again, even if you escape to the ends of the world, I will still find ways to make your life worse than death."
Until everyone finished the meal, Nie Yueming was leaning alone under a peach tree, feeling depressed.
"Lord, there are some important matters related to the avenue that need to be decided by you personally. Can you move elsewhere?" Wu Zhuan asked.
Xia Ze frowned: "Okay."
After arriving at a secluded place, Wu Zhuo asked: "Master, are you blaming me for taking matters into your own hands and scattering money to various immortal families?"
Xia Ze shook his head: "You are more familiar with the world than me in terms of how to deal with people. You don't need to ask me about these things. Mu Tao asked you to move the money in the house. I don't ask you for it. How to spend it is your business.
, but seeing the huge amounts of money flowing out, it would be a lie to say that I don’t feel distressed.”
"My lord, it is true that I have seen something outside. You and I are connected by the same road. Your business is my business. This amount of money seems to be quite large, but there is an old slave, a not-so-big and not-so-small quasi-Five Mountain God, watching over it. No matter how misty it is,
Which sect on the continent, let me see who dares not to give you face. From now on when my lord travels around the world, this will be a useful incense."
Xia Ze nodded.
"Now that my lord understands my good intentions, I have one more thing that I dare to report to you."
"But it doesn't matter."
He thought for a moment and said solemnly: "My lord, please, on this trip, only send Miss Mu to the outside of Mawei's grave, and then return the same way. Don't follow everyone in."
Xia Ze was stunned: "Why is this?"
"When I was working here as a landowner in the early years, I heard that the leader of the nearby spirits and monsters who had achieved little success said that this Yunxi Town, which is the Divine Eye Cave in the Thirty-Six Cave Heaven, was created after the Emperor of Heaven spread his religion.
The place where the eyes fell has so much energy that it can be ranked among the top ten of the thirty-six caves. In the past ten thousand years, outstanding people, countless spiritual embryos, spiritual treasures, and spiritual beasts have been born here. People from the outside regard this as an opportunity for expansion.
Great place.”
"With the loss of spiritual energy, it is almost certain that the cave sky will fall to the ground one day. But thousands of years ago, Taiyi saved Ku Tianzun and couldn't bear to see the human race here. He died in vain because of the shattering of the cave sky. He voluntarily came here to repair it with his own godhead.
Only then can this divine eye cave survive to this day.”
"But the uprising of the zombie king, the fox demon Ayu, can only show that the collapse of the divine eye cave is still unavoidable. The old slave knows a little about divination, and boldly made a fortune for the Lord. This time it is like a mountain.
, I’m afraid it will only be extremely dangerous.”
Xia Ze suddenly remembered that at the beginning, Mr. Qi'er also predicted that this job would be a sign of good or bad luck. Now, as a mortal, he had obtained a semi-immortal weapon and an unknown creature with unknown name and feet.
Beast, three magic books given by Lord Beggar.
What is the sign of great misfortune? You may not believe Wu Zhui's words, but Mr. Qi'er is a god among gods, and there is no reason to trust him.
In other words, walnuts are dangerous.
"What about Mu Tao and the others?" Xia Ze suddenly raised his head and asked.
"Yes," Wu Zhui nodded, "The sect behind Miss Mu is so powerful that it is unimaginable. Even the eyes of my Five Sacred Gods could not get a glimpse of it. They must have already prepared it before they set off.
All arrangements have been made, so there is nothing for my lord to worry about."
"That's it." Xia Ze felt disappointed.
"There are some things that involve leaking secrets, and I dare not speak out without permission. But my lord, please know that it is not just a single sect, but many sect forces from all over the Nine Provinces. They have been eyeing you many years ago. Your
The birth chart has even been tampered with. If the Lord wants to fully understand the reason, it is better to escape from this incident as soon as possible. Not only for the sake of you and me, but also for your relatives and those children.
"
"Okay, thank you. I'll think about it carefully." Xia Ze nodded.
When the two returned to the place where everyone was camping, Wu Zhuo suddenly said that there were some government affairs to deal with, so he and Xia Ze resigned.
He handed something to Xia Ze: "There were too many people before, so I had to help my lord keep it safe first. This is the demon pill that the zombie king has cultivated for thousands of years. Its aura is so pure that it can be thrown to the farm at a critical moment."
.”
After saying this, he turned into a rainbow and disappeared into the clouds, disappearing without a trace.
So the group of people rode on their horses and continued on their way, heading north for another thirty miles. The vegetation gradually became thinner, and they could even hear the howling of the dark wind.
Mu Tao looked at Xia Ze beside him, who was unhappy, so he drove his horse to follow, and joked with a smile: "Xia Ze, just now you were groping in the peach forest, what were you doing? Is it because you were a headhunter in the first year and you are not good at it?"
, seeing this result, I am giving up. It doesn’t matter, I allow you to escape before the battle..."
Mu Tao only saw Xia Ze glance at her, but it didn't look like he was looking at her, so she was confused.
Xia Ze grinned bitterly: "Miss Mu, this is for you."
"Send it to me? What is it?"
Mu Tao took it and saw that it was an exquisite jade hairpin. The jade material could not be said to be too expensive, but the color and texture were good. There was also a budding peach blossom carved on the head of the hairpin, which was used as a gift to the woman.
The object is just right.
Just as she was about to speak, she suddenly heard the silly black boy murmur: "Miss Mu must ask me why I gave you this hairpin."
Without waiting for Mu Tao to reply, he added: "Miss Mu already has a hairpin and a sword for fighting with others. Every time she makes a move, she takes out the hairpin and scatters her waist-length black hair."
Mu Tao was stunned. He paused and then said, "Miss Mu may not know that every time you pull out your hairpin, the way your black hair is flying is very beautiful."
"I have some small selfish motives. I don't want Miss Mu to start a fight with someone in the future and outdo the other person in martial arts. And the other person is a dashing swordsman who likes beauties. This... this is... to me
It's a distressing thing, and something I dare not think about now." At the end, the black boy's voice was almost inaudible.
The dazed girl chuckled and neatly inserted the hosta in her hand into her bun.
"Xia Ze, does it look good like this?"
There was an urgent emotion in her eyebrows.
Xia Ze's eyes were red and he smiled faintly: "Miss Mu, you are so beautiful."
When we were about to arrive at a place that was still one mile away from Mawei's grave, the canyon was already desolate and barren of grass. The Calabash Peak in the distance was really a dangerous peak in the shape of a gourd, reaching straight into the sky, as if it was sucking in all the heaven and earth.
Among the gourds.
There was a skinny horse covered in sores, screaming and neighing in that canyon, running non-stop.
This desolate place is filled with all kinds of bones, old and new; the daggers left by various immortals are broken and still murderous.
Mu Tao could not control her patient excitement, and was about to turn back to call the young man when she saw a panicked figure in the distance, leading a horse and walking towards the south.
She stared blankly, a little disappointed.
Both Li You and Fu Qi had complicated expressions. After spending the past few days together, they had almost forgotten that the young man who was fearless was only fourteen this year, and before that he was just an ordinary person.
