There were few people along the way during the day, and the mountain monster was causing trouble at night. Jiang Yunyi had never encountered it head-on. He could only vaguely hear the mountain monster crying at night.
He was not stupid. It was undoubtedly Lu Ningshuang's fault, but he was too lazy to care. After all, Lu Ningshuang saved a lot of time by doing this.
The two of them crossed high mountains one after another. The ancient trees on both sides of the ancient road provided protection from the sun and rain. Walking along the tree-lined path, the breeze was cool and the sunshine was bright, which was very pleasant.
Occasionally they would encounter hares, foxes, etc. Jiang Yunyi would always stop and want to tease them, but Lu Ningshuang held her hand again and again to prevent him from passing.
After three things, Jiang Yunyi couldn't bear it anymore: "Lu Ningshuang, I just want to feed these little beasts and touch them, why do you keep stopping me?"
Lu Ningshuang glanced at the wild fox coldly: "Fox spirit."
"???"
The wild fox in the mountains was originally attracted by the spirit fruit in Jiang Yunyi's hand, but now it kept moving back, getting closer to the grass little by little, as if it was very scared.
"Hey, wait..."
Seeing that it was about to run away, Jiang Yunyi wanted to keep it.
As a result, the wild fox ignored Jiang Yunyi, and still chose to retreat due to its instinctive fear. Finally, it turned around and fled, disappearing into the trees in the blink of an eye.
Jiang Yunyi immediately looked at Lu Ningshuang, with dissatisfaction on his face: "What kind of vixen? You have to fight for the favor of a wild fox that has not yet developed its intelligence!"
"Um."
Lu Ningshuang's generous admission made Jiang Yunyi feel like her punch was soft and had no effect on cotton.
Jiang Yunyi choked and didn't know what to say to her next, so she could only continue walking forward in a depressed manner.
Suddenly, Lu Ningshuang called him: "Husband."
"what."
Jiang Yunyi was still angry and turned back dissatisfied.
Lu Ningshuang seemed to have expected this reaction from him, and said calmly: "Why do you want to touch the wild fox?"
"Why else? I just like to touch it, just like you always like to pinch my face."
"Does your husband like it?"
"Yeah, I quite like it."
Jiang Yunyi mainly wanted to test the feel. If Yehu was fatter, he couldn't imagine how comfortable it would be when rubbed.
"Then I will compensate your husband."
As soon as he finished speaking, Lu Ningshuang came closer to him.
Jiang Yunyi was soon shrouded in shadow, and Lu Ningshuang lowered her head, looked at him, and said softly: "Vixens are not allowed to touch me, but my husband can touch me."
"Well!?"
These words were very strange. Jiang Yunyi was stunned for a long time before she realized that she wanted him to touch her head!
Jiang Yunyi wanted to refuse angrily, seeing how helpless Lu Ningshuang was, but when Lu Ningshuang was brought to him, he couldn't bear it.
After hesitating for a moment, he changed the conditions to Lu Ningshuang and said, "I want to rub my face."
"Can."
So Jiang Yunyi reached out and touched it. It was definitely not because he was greedy, but because Lu Ningshuang's cold face was too tempting, and a bold idea came to him.
Jiang Yunyi placed two fingers on the corner of her mouth and lifted it up. Her cold face turned into a forced smile, which looked a little stiff and even awkward.
Smiling face, sad face, angry face...
A series of simple expressions alternated on Lu Ningshuang's face.
"puff!"
Jiang Yunyi still couldn't help but laugh out loud, with some tears flowing from the corners of his eyes, and couldn't stop smiling.
It was Lu Ningshuang who gently wiped it off for him.
He laughed until he cried because Lu Ningshuang had always had a cold face, and now he had other expressions on his face.
This contrast is like a muscular man suddenly appearing in front of you wearing a fancy skirt. It is extremely awkward, but has a somewhat funny effect.
When Jiang Yunyi stopped, Lu Ningshuang returned to her original state, her expression calm, as if nothing had happened.
Her hair is slightly messy and her beauty is intoxicating.
"Husband, does this count as rubbing your face?"
"Of course, why doesn't it count?" Jiang Yunyi's anger had subsided, and now he greeted you with a smile: "If I touched your face with my hands, you can tell me whether I rubbed it or not?"
Lu Ningshuang was silent for a long time and said: "Husband, hand."
"Okay, okay, let me hold you."
Jiang Yunyi, who had smiled enough, held her tender hand without any scruples. As a result, Lu Ningshuang only held her fingers, and a cold touch imprinted on her fingertips.
Those were Lu Ningshuang's thin lips, warm and moist.
Jiang Yunyi was stunned, and her fingers fell on her lips, which was the place Lu Ningshuang had kissed just now.
In the quiet forest, the air is filled with the faint fragrance of flowers and vegetation.
But Jiang Yunyi didn't care. Instead, he felt the slightest bit of coldness at his fingertips, and couldn't help but feel a little unfinished.
After a while.
Lu Ningshuang held Jiang Yunyi's hand tightly and said calmly: "Husband, just tell me whether I am holding you or not."
.........
To be honest, Jiang Yunyi didn't expect that she was so good at flirting. Even the knowledge he imparted to Junior Brother Lei, after Junior Brother Lei combined with his own failed experience, could not achieve the same seductive effect as Lu Ningshuang.
That moment just now was an indirect kiss...
Really enlightened?
Jiang Yunyi secretly observed her.
Not wanting Lu Ningshuang to notice her gaze easily, she looked sideways and asked, "My husband, is there something on your mind?"
At this time, Jiang Yunyi quickly looked away, pretending to cough and said, "No, it's okay."
But Lu Ningshuang saw directly through his mind: "Do you still want me, husband?"
It was undoubtedly about indirect kissing.
"Only a devil wants it!"
"No fingers?"
"!!!"
Lu Ningshuang was calm and kept a normal attitude toward everything, but Jiang Yunyi couldn't. Lu Ningshuang's straightforward words would make it hard not to tempt him.
Jiang Yunyi simply broke away from holding hands and ran forward to prevent Lu Ningshuang from saying anything that would make him feel uneasy.
while walking.
Not long after, the two of them came to a pear blossom ditch in silence. At first glance, they were as white as snow. In spring, pear blossoms bloomed in elegant clusters, blowing all over thousands of mountains and rivers.
Pear blossoms hang like snow on the branches, and the trees are full of brilliant blue water.
Jiang Yunyi stopped and looked up at the pear blossoms in front of him. Some of them might be too weak to resist the wind. The petals fell due to the wind, and a faint fragrance followed.
Such beautiful scenery and just the right amount of sunshine.
Jiang Yunyi decided not to leave, but Lu Ningshuang slowly followed him. He pulled Lu Ningshuang to an open space to lie down for an afternoon rest. Lu Ningshuang also made preparations in advance and took out a large piece of fabric to spread the floor.
This piece of fabric looked valuable, but Jiang Yunyi didn't care. He lay on it, looking at the brilliant pear blossoms above his head, and couldn't help but sigh: "It's still comfortable outside."
Lu Ningshuang said nothing, and knelt down to drink tea and admire the scene quietly.
Time passes, and just like that, it’s sunset again.
Watching the sunset, a wisp of red clouds fell on the side of Jiang Yunyi's face, outlining a somewhat evil look. Lu Ningshuang's beautiful eyes rippled and moved his face.
Jiang Yunyi quickly grabbed her finger and said, "Lu Ningshuang, if you move it again, I will bite you."
"Bite what?"
Jiang Yunyi looked fierce: "Of course I'll bite you!"
Unexpectedly, Lu Ningshuang nodded lightly.
"good."
"?"
Seeing that she was not afraid, Jiang Yunyi gave up.
If he really bites, he wants to bite even more... Jiang Yunyi looked at her vaguely white neck, pursed his lips, and quickly looked away.
The sky is getting darker and colder.
They didn't light a fire, but even so, the moonlight could clearly shine around them, and the pear blossoms were flying like snow, forming a beautiful picture.
The mountain demon smells the popularity and is ready to take action.
But as fast as it came, it can also go quickly.
Lu Ningshuang just glanced at the dark place, and it seemed as if a cold wind was whistling between the sky and the earth. The murderous intent turned into sharp spears and shot out of the air!
In an instant, he pierced through several pear trees and nailed the hiding mountain monster to death. Blood stained the surroundings, and the moist vegetation absorbed the blood of the mountain monster's corpse.
"It's you who solves the problem every time, which gives me an advantage." Jiang Yunyi turned over and looked at her with his head on his side.
She sat on one side, with her back against the pear tree, her posture elegant and dignified, her face half-lit in the moonlight as she lowered her eyes, and said, "I kill quickly and won't disturb my husband."
Jiang Yunyi smiled slightly, which was in line with her reasons.
........
The next day, the dew was very heavy.
The pear blossom trees that were pierced through have long since healed under the influence of the blood of the mountain demon's corpse. After all, although the mountain demon's name has the word "demon" in it, its actual identity is a spirit.
What is essence? They are creatures that tend to absorb the essence of the sun and the moon and become spirits. They can understand human language and know the art of cultivation, and they can be said to be eager to learn.
But there is good in the world, whether it is humans, monsters, spirits, or ghosts. Although the mountain monster absorbs the essence of the sun and moon to take form, it is nourished by blood.
Beasts fight in the mountains and blood is spilled; humans and demons fight and blood flows, etc., all of which can make every plant and tree suck blood and nourish it.
The two continued to cross mountains and rivers.
On this trip to the border of Xuanzhou, he would pass by Xianlin Mountain. Since he had to pass by it, Jiang Yunyi simply went to take a look. According to past practice, he might still have an opportunity.
After all, my former self was very unlucky even if I had good luck. I was always hunted down when I got the chance. This implicated Lu Ningshuang, which made Jiang Yunyi almost want to practice in seclusion on Qingzhu Peak for the rest of his life, but his master didn't allow it.
Jiang Yunyi had already planned the next journey and said: "Lu Ningshuang, let's go to Xianlin Mountain first."
"Well, let me follow your husband's arrangements."
Not long after, they came out of the woods.
In the distance, the green mountains are as green as black and the ridges are flat. There is a hazy white mist that surrounds a most special mountain peak. You can also vaguely see the halo of fairy light shining.
It seems that there is Xianlin Mountain, but Jiang Yunyi is not sure yet. After all, the Holy State itself has countless opportunities, and there are countless Xianjiadongfu ruins in ancient times.
Of course, except for the ghost temple, Jiang Yunyi has not deliberately looked for any opportunities so far, and has always been casual. After all, their direction is to go to the East China Sea.
If it goes astray, there are many opportunities.
Jiang Yunyi felt that he would forget about going to the East China Sea and continue walking towards the blessed land full of opportunities. After three years, he would probably have to ask Lu Ningshuang to control the sword on the way.
At that time... Lu Ningshuang was not allowed to make some unreasonable requests to him.
Jiang Yunyi couldn't imagine it.
present.
The warm spring breeze felt very comfortable on their faces, and before their eyes, the fields of spring flowers and wheat fields contrasted with each other, creating a tranquil and peaceful scene.
Jiang Yunyi took out the 'map' and walked ahead. The first page was a simplified map of the Eight Wilderness Continent, followed by a map of each state, which was very detailed.
The county towns are marked, as well as detailed geographical divisions, scenic spots, including the forces in the state, sects, royal families, etc., which can be said to be quite considerate.
It's a pity that Jiang Yunyi can't understand. After all, he has gone down the mountain to experience, and he always takes one step at a time. There is no need for such a thing as a map. He will go wherever he has the opportunity.
He didn't want to ask Lu Ningshuang. At this difficult time, fortunately, in the farmland not far away, there were farmers doing spring plowing early in the morning. With joy in his eyes, Jiang Yunyi hurried away.
Jiang Yunyi was courteous and chatted with the farmer on the trail, while Lu Ningshuang was waiting for him on the avenue.
The farmer in the field saw Jiang Yunyi's extraordinary performance, and enthusiastically pointed out the current location of the map to him, and clearly told him that the hazy fairy mountain in the distance was Xianlin Mountain.
"Thank you."
Before leaving, Jiang Yunyi cupped his hands and thanked him.
When the farmer saw this, he smiled honestly, picked up the hoe still embedded in the ground, and went back to continue working.
Jiang Yunyi returned to the avenue.
Lu Ningshuang asked him: "Has your husband taken the wrong path?"
"How could I go wrong? I just want to ask if the mountain in the distance is just Xianlin Mountain."
Lu Ningshuang said nothing and just rubbed his head.
Jiang Yunyi brushed it off with disdain and told Lu Ningshuang that there was a small county town not far away and that he could stay there tonight instead of sleeping in the wilderness.
He already knew the county seat, called Qingquan Village.
Although it is remote, it is still prosperous, with various shops and people coming and going. Because it is close to Xianlin Mountain, it is like a famous fairy mountain scene in the local area.
In the past, many monks came here, either going up the mountain to look for immortals, asking for elixirs or medicines, or just for fun.
Jiang Yunyi and Lu Ningshuang belong to the latter group. If they don't encounter the opportunity, they just come here to play. Anyway, Jiang Yunyi is good, it is better than staying in the Qingzhu Peak courtyard all the time.
The farmer also said that for some reason recently, disciples from various immortal sects rarely come here to visit him, so when he saw Jiang Yunyi's extraordinary temperament, he was obviously a Taoist.
Therefore, the farmer was very enthusiastic and thought that the county town would return to its usual bustling state.
However, even if the cultivators did not come, there were still many literati, wandering poets, or high-ranking officials who wanted to seek immortality.
In short, the entire county will become more prosperous because of Xianlin Mountain, and this is also due to the mystery of Xianlin Mountain. So far, no one has been able to reach the top of the mountain. Even Taoist monks wielding swords cannot reach the top of the mountain.
Lu Ningshuang was walking silently beside him beside the avenue. She was tall and beautiful. When Jiang Yunyi saw her, she stretched out her hand for some reason and made a secret gesture, feeling a little embarrassed.
Lu Ningshuang knew the reason for his behavior and comforted him: "My husband will grow taller."
"Lu Ningshuang, I remember I almost caught up with you, why did you go back again?" Jiang Yunyi frowned.
She was half a head shorter before. Lu Ningshuang said last time that she had grown a bit taller, but until now she was still half a head shorter.
"If your husband can grow, so can I."
Jiang Yunyi was shocked: "You can still grow?!"
Lu Ningshuang replied: "Since I am the Tao, I can absorb the power from all directions, gather the spirits of all dharma, and I can also change my body shape at will."
Jiang Yunyi was speechless for a long time, and finally cursed in a low voice: "Despicable, you have a high level of cultivation, you are great, just hold me down!"
"Well, just suppress your husband."
Lu Ningshuang's eyes were crumpled into pieces, and she looked at him. His words were concise and straightforward, without any sloppiness, leaving Jiang Yunyi stunned on the spot.
This green plum... feels terrible.
