After entering the dark clouds, Mu Jingyu realized that this place was not like what he saw outside. Instead, it was filled with light. The reason is that these thunder and lightning are shining with dazzling light all the time.
I saw that these thunder and lightning were not like ordinary thunder and lightning, they appeared randomly. Instead, they stood like huge pillars between heaven and earth. One end connected to the dense dark clouds several miles away in the sky, and the other end plunged deeply into the lake, more than a mile deep.
After being struck by thunder and lightning, countless lakes formed a steady stream of water, hanging upside down and swaying upwards, wrapping around the huge thunder and lightning, forming a huge shining pillar.
The drunkard controlled the wine gourd and carefully shuttled between these huge thunder pillars. Follow the golden velvet ferret in the distance and drive towards the depths.
Listening to the rumbling thunder in his ears, Mu Jingyu tightly grasped the wine gourd with both hands, not daring to relax at all.
I don’t know how long it took, but the thunder in my ears finally became much quieter, and the surrounding thunder and lightning water jets also became a little weaker.
I saw a small island appearing in the center of the lightning water pillars. Unlike the lightning and thunder outside, the sky above the island was clear and the warm sunshine shone directly down, covering this peaceful place.
"We're finally here." The thunder here gradually disappeared, and the drunkard withdrew the Yunqiwuyin formation, looking at the small island not far away, and whispered.
"Master, look! That little guy has escaped inside." Mu Jingyu pointed in the direction of the island. The golden velvet ferret had just jumped to the island, turned around and glanced at the two of them, and quickly disappeared deep into the island.
"Let it go. When we get here, there is no need for this little guy." The drunkard smiled. This golden velvet ferret was meant to lead the way, and the drunkard had no real intention of catching it or harming it.
"Yes, disciple understands." Mu Jingyu nodded.
After collecting the wine gourd, the drunkard took Mu Jingyu on the waves, passing through the calm water, and they both landed on the small island.
"The scenery here is so beautiful." Mu Jingyu looked at the lush scenery in front of him and smelled the fresh breath, and couldn't help but admired.
The drunkard looked at a gravel road that appeared in front of him, pointed ahead and said: "Qijue Scholar has lived here in seclusion for more than thirty years, and has long since built this Wangyou Island into a paradise. This is your first time When entering the island, be careful not to trample on the flowers and plants she has cultivated so hard. Otherwise, Scholar Qi Jue will definitely not spare her."
"Wangyou Island? It is indeed a good name."
The two of them walked along the gravel path and saw that the entire island was covered with exotic flowers and plants. Many cute and exquisite birds of different colors circled and danced above their heads, chirping. He didn't feel the slightest bit afraid of meeting a stranger.
"Who dares to bully my spirit beast and break into the forbidden area of Wangyou Island!"
Just as Mu Jingyu was admiring this rare and peaceful scenery, a sharp cold snort suddenly sounded deep in the woods.
Qi Jue Scholar! Needless to say, he knew that the person coming was the owner of Wangyou Island, one of the four saints that the drunkard wanted to find.
The drunkard held Mu Jingyu with one hand and faced the direction of the sound. He smiled and said, "Sister, the drunkard found me here without saying hello. I hope you can forgive me."
"Situ Zhongkang? You old guy is not wandering around the Nine Provinces. Why did you suddenly come to me today?"
As the sound rang out, a woman who looked about forty years old and wore a snow-white sarong slowly emerged from the end of the gravel path with the golden velvet ferret in her arms.
"This is... Qijue Scholar?" Mu Jingyu glanced at this dignified and elegant woman, and couldn't believe that she was the Qijue Scholar who was older than the drunkard.
"Why, you little kid, do you think that I am a slovenly beggar like him?" Scholar Qi Jue snorted, how could he not know what Mu Jingyu was thinking.
Mu Jingyu waved his hands in fear and said, "Senior Qi Jue has misunderstood. I don't dare to think so."
The drunkard said in a low voice: "Don't talk too much, kid. Although Yue Mengxiao is old, she attaches great importance to her appearance. In addition, she has a high level of cultivation and has an elixir to help her refine some elixirs that can beautify her appearance. .So the appearance still retains the look of a forty-year-old."
Mu Jingyu groaned, then quietly raised his eyes and glanced at Scholar Qi Jue again. Although she was eighty years old, she had no wrinkles on her face and her skin was smooth and delicate, no less than those of girls in their prime.
She also has a delicate appearance and a slender and well-proportioned figure. She must have been the most beautiful woman in the world when she was young. It's just that his face has always been covered with a layer of frost, making him look uncomfortable to deal with.
Scholar Qi Jue stroked the golden velvet ferret that was staring angrily at the two of them with one hand, and said in a cold tone: "Situ Zhongkang, since you visited my Wangyou Island once seven years ago, you have been traveling around the world. You are free and at ease. Why are you free today and you came to my place?"
It turns out that the drunkard's name is Situ Zhongkang. Mu Jingyu has been with him for so many days, and this is the first time he knows his real name.
The drunkard was obviously a little afraid of Scholar Qi Jue, and said with a smile: "Hahaha, my elder sister also said that I haven't seen you for seven years. I just happened to be passing by here and wanted to come and visit my elder sister. "
"Are you really just passing by here?" Scholar Qi Jue sneered: "This is located in the hinterland of Demon Hades Palace. How can ordinary people come here? Besides, it's not like you tried so hard to catch my golden velvet ferret. Come and see what I mean."
"Ah? Haha, these are all misunderstandings. They are all misunderstandings. Zhenleize covers a large area, and my sister's Wangyou Island is hard to find. Zhongkang did not use any means to lure this little guy out. Let him lead us, but we can't find him here." The drunkard laughed twice and touched his nose.
"If you say that... you didn't just drop by to visit me. You came to see me for something, so you tried your best to find this place. I don't know if I'm right or not?"
The drunkard sneered and said: "Sister, you are over-worrying. Zhong Kang is really just passing by here. I suddenly remembered that I haven't seen my sister for a long time, and across the entire Zhenleize, I could smell the fragrant tea made by my sister. I just wanted to turn over and have a taste.”
The drunkard opened his mouth and was about to tell him that the medical fairy was in danger and that he had rushed here at night just to ask for her help.
But when the words came to his lips, he swallowed them in one gulp. More than thirty years ago, when the Medical Immortal refused Scholar Qi Jue's request to seek revenge, he made the Scholar Qi Jue hate him from love, and said cruel words in public that he would never see the Medical Immortal again.
Over the years, I don’t know if Scholar Qi Jue’s anger has subsided. If I rashly tell you what I came to ask for this time, I am afraid that the Qi Jue scholar will not agree immediately.
After thinking for a long time, he decided to follow her back to her residence and explore what she was saying.
"Do you really just want to come and see me and have a sip of the Qingming fragrant tea that I grew myself?" Scholar Qi Jue looked at the drunkard sideways, the meaning of which was intriguing, and he obviously didn't believe what he said.
"Squeak, squeak, squeak, squeak!" The golden velvet ferret clenched a pair of small paws in the arms of Scholar Qi Jue, gesticulating and swiping back and forth. His mouth was squeaking angrily, as if he was telling Scholar Qi Jue about the drunkard chasing it.
Scholar Qi Jue stroked the golden velvet ferret with one hand and comforted it softly: "Don't worry, dear, grandma knows that this old immortal bullied you just now, and she will definitely help you get revenge in a while."
After saying that, Scholar Qi Jue turned around and walked towards the depths of the gravel path, and said something softly in his mouth: "Looking at the friendship between you and me for so many years, I can't turn you away, sister. I won’t even give you a cup of Qingming fragrant tea. You two can go back with me for the time being, and after you finish drinking the tea and reminiscing about old times, you can go back to where you came from.”
"Hey, hey, Situ Zhongkang, thank you sister." The drunkard chuckled, and quickly pulled Mu Jingyu and followed the scholar Qi Jue.
In the center of Wangyou Island, several wooden houses made of golden nanmu stand in the middle of a small garden. The fragrance of tea is fragrant and flowers are in full bloom in the garden. It is truly a paradise.
The drunkard rubbed his hands uneasily and sat on a wooden chair in the yard. Mu Jingyu stood beside him with his hands tied, watching the golden velvet ferret squatting next to the wooden table in the middle, looking at the two men fiercely.
After a while, Scholar Qi Jue walked out of a tea room holding a tray with a pot of tea and two tea cups in one hand.
"I guess you are in luck today. The tea leaves of Qing Ming Xiang Tea were picked newly this morning." After putting the teapot and tea bowl on the table, Scholar Qi Jue picked up the golden velvet ferret and sat down next to him. on the chair.
Mu Jingyu hurriedly stepped forward, took the teapot, filled a cup for the drunkard, and delivered it to him.
"Well, not bad! I haven't seen you for many years, and my old sister's tea-making skills have improved a lot!" The drunkard picked up the tea bowl, first smelled the aroma in it, couldn't help but admired it, and pointed to the remaining tea. A teacup said: "Boy, please pour me a cup and try it."
"As you command." Mu Jingyu filled another cup for himself. Before it was brought to his mouth, just smelling the elegant tea fragrance made him feel refreshed.
After taking a sip, I felt a refreshing and elegant freshness filling my throat, making my whole body feel indescribably comfortable. Maybe his mouth was dry, so after Mu Jingyu drank one glass, he poured three more glasses and drank them all in one go without waiting for the drunkard's orders.
"Hey... Why are you so focused on your own pleasure, and you don't even have any left for my master?" The drunkard laughed and cursed a few times, then grabbed the teapot to prevent Mu Jingyu from drinking any more.
Seeing the drunkard's childlike appearance, Qijue Scholar couldn't help but chuckle a few times. Then he returned to his calm expression and said, "Okay, I've drank the tea and met the people. Situ Zhongkang, if you have nothing else to say, you can leave."
"Ah, are you going to drive me away now?" Before the drunkard could think of how to speak, he couldn't help but twist his body when he saw Qi Jue Shusheng issuing an expulsion order.
"Actually... I still need help from my elder sister for some things when I come here this time." The drunkard secretly gritted his teeth and decided to tell the story that the medical fairy was in danger and he needed her help to sneak into Danchan Mountain to steal the elixir.
Scholar Qi Jue said with a clear look on his face: "I know that you traveled thousands of miles to get here, not only because you want to be old, but also because you must have something to ask for." Then the conversation changed and he said: "However, if it is what you want, It has something to do with that heartless man called the Medical Immortal, so I advise you not to talk too much."
Scholar Qi Jue immediately blocked the drunkard's mouth. Looking at his slightly changed expression, he knew that he had guessed correctly.
"Hey...old sister, it's been so many years. Haven't you forgiven him yet?" The drunkard put down the teacup and said sadly.
"You actually asked me to forgive him? Then have you ever thought that if I forgive him, will those spiritual beasts killed by the Zhengdao disciples ever forgive him! Back then, I cried and begged him to take revenge with me, but who knew he was so cruel? He refused. He didn’t show any mercy, and now you actually ask me to forgive him? "
Mentioning the old events from those years, Scholar Qi Jue's anger welled up. With a layer of frost covering his face, he angrily questioned the drunkard.
What happened back then was indeed the medical fairy's fault. But...but..." The drunkard wanted to defend the medical fairy a few more words, but the scholar Qi Jue had already waved his hand and issued an order to expel the guest.
"I don't want to mention what happened back then! Situ Zhongkang, you don't have to defend him. I can keep you for a cup of tea today because of our long-term friendship. If you dare to say a few more words , don’t blame me for falling out with you.”
The drunkard looked at Scholar Qi Jue's determined expression, sighed, stood up, took a deep breath and said: "Hey...boy, let's go. Since the old sister is not willing to do this favor for us, if she stays here, You will be despised by others."
Mu Jingyu didn't expect that the drunkard would give up so easily. I couldn't help shouting: "Master, you always give up like this! But the old man, the Medical Immortal, is still waiting for us to steal the elixir and help him refine the antidote. If you just leave like this..."
The drunkard lamented: "Do your best and obey fate. Even if Danchan Mountain is a dragon's pond and a tiger's den, I will take you to try it! As for whether you can steal the elixir and save his life, it only depends on God's will." .”
