The entire island with a radius of three miles was littered with fallen and broken trees and branches. The large splash of water from the sky washed out a thin channel between the island and the vast white mist outside.
One man and one donkey were soaked to the skin, with water droplets dripping in strings, jumping from the mist to the other bank four feet away.
Looking back, they saw the familiar raging and narrow river, and the majestic and roaring waterfall not far away, which made them feel at ease.
The donkey shook the water droplets on its body vigorously, yelled "Uh ah... uh ah" at the top of its voice, and ran back happily. It couldn't help but cursed: "It's unlucky, Mr. Donkey will do it again next time." Don’t be a bitch and run around. Why are you so curious? A bullshit waterfall is just a pile of water from the sky that can drown people. What’s so good about it? I almost choked the donkey to death.”
Zhang Wenfeng no longer had any interest in approaching the waterfall to see its true appearance, so he left quickly without touching the ground.
He guessed that Mo Ye was too far away from here, and he didn't know how many worlds separated him, so he used the violent method of showering his head with a waterfall to remind him that he could leave.
It was like a wake-up call, allowing him to suddenly appreciate the initial state of mind of "going with the flow" of "walking to a waterless place, sitting and watching the clouds rise". It was different from "sitting and forgetting about the mind wandering". This was his understanding in a sober state, which was particularly rare.
The group of wild sheep in the river bend grassland were so frightened by the reveling donkeys that they hid in the woods.
After running back to the fork of the mountain stream, the donkey stopped. With a look of fear in its eyes, it stared at the ordinary river beach and rocks opposite. It also saw birds chirping and jumping on the treetops.
If you hadn't escaped from that place, you wouldn't believe it even if you beat it to death. Opposite it is an isolated island.
A forbidden place within a forbidden place, jumping into it is simply asking for death.
It and the Guanzhu are not dead because the Guanzhu has a great destiny!
"Don't think too much about the magic and dangers in the world of cultivation. With our current cultivation strength, we have only just touched the edge. We are at the foot of the mountain, which may be the place where the winds and waves are the biggest. Only by seeing more can we know more. When we cultivate For the sake of experience, you can go to higher places to enjoy the more magnificent scenery.”
"Hey, it's so different from the Jianghu I imagined."
"There are big and small rivers and lakes, and the rivers and lakes in the spiritual world are even wider. You are no longer an ordinary donkey. Your rivers and lakes are destined to not be the rivers and lakes that Lame Uncle has experienced. You have to adapt to this change."
"I know, I'm just feeling a little emotional. This journey through the world has been full of ups and downs... Hey, it would be better to drink after escaping from death. I need a jar of strong wine to calm down my shock."
"for you!"
Zhang Wenfeng smiled and took out the last jar of wine he had saved from the storage space.
The water from the waterfall showered his head, allowing him to recover a little bit of his mana. White steam evaporated from his body, and he was using his mana to evaporate the water stains on his clothes and hair.
"Ah uh... the master of the temple is mighty!"
The donkey bared its teeth and smiled strangely, and was in a good mood. It ran south with the wine jar in its mouth and the rope. After all, it was still worried about whether the fox in Gui Danger Valley was out of seclusion?
Fortunately, the Guiwei Valley was still filled with white mist, just like before they were trapped on the island.
The fox girl was still in seclusion and did not leave them alone to run away.
The donkey was relieved and placed the wine jar on the bluestone near the stone stove that the viewer had built before. He bit open the mud seal and porcelain cover, took a sip, squinted his eyes in contentment, and dropped his book bag while reciting a poem: "A pot of turbid wine laughs at the mortal world. , half a cup of tea will make you poor."
Then he lowered his head and took a sip of wine. He drank so much that he forgot about himself and recited some sour words that he heard somewhere to cheer him up.
"Half awake and half drunk day after day, flowers fall and flowers bloom year after year."
For the rest of his life, he was in a very good mood, shaking his head.
All its sorrows were melted into a jar of wine and then drank into the stomach.
This is its rivers and lakes and wine.
Zhang Wenfeng laughed dumbly and ignored the donkey's enjoyment. He walked to the cave on the hillside and checked the piled skins and the treasures in the two baskets. They were intact and showed no signs of being disturbed.
He organized the items and put them into the storage space, even the shriveled purple ginseng with many roots broken off. It had lost a lot of its medicinal properties, but it was still a rare treasure, leaving two Empty baskets, spider shells, hemp ropes and other items for making pots.
By night, he had adapted to the fact that he had little magic power and couldn't use it.
The donkey was reluctant to finish the drink in one sitting, and imitated the viewer's careful calculation, leaving most of it to savor slowly.
On the morning of the third day, Zhang Wenfeng, who was cooking dried meat granules and seasoning with wild vegetables and wild onions on a stone stove by the stream, suddenly turned his head and looked in the direction of the two rocks standing on the left.
In the morning mist, a fox girl wearing a white dress and a jade-colored belt walks gently like an elf with a smile in her eyes.
Their eyes faced each other, sizing each other up.
The Taoist priest smiled as gently as usual: "Breakfast is almost ready. Enough of the barbecue. Please sit down for a moment."
He turned over the roasted leg of lamb that was roasting on the stone slab until it was sizzling and filled with the aroma of meat. He also took out a leg of lamb that had been marinated in seasonings from the spider shell on the side, and quickly placed it on the edge of the stone slab for roasting. He knew the fox girl's appetite. Big, take a porcelain bowl, scoop out half a bowl of meat soup, and hand it to the ruddy fox girl.
"I'm worried about you eating fish and wild vegetables outside every day. You're living a nourishing life and you have wine to drink. It's great!"
Xin Yue noticed that Zhang Guanzhu's Taoist robe had been newly changed, and he had a new pair of cloth shoes on his feet. There was a wine jar next to it, and the utensils were also different. She took the bowls and chopsticks and joked with a smile.
Zhang Guanzhu is indeed very human. He can lift the forbidden method and take out the items from the storage space, so he doesn't have to worry about eating and drinking.
When the donkey heard the noise, it came running from the corner, covered in mud, sand and dew, and its hair was messy.
As if seeing a relative, the donkey shouted in surprise: "Ah uh..."
Xin Yue hurriedly put down the bowl and stood up, stretching out her palms to prevent the donkey from getting close. She held her hands in front of her and apologized with a smile: "Okay, okay, it's all my fault for keeping you waiting all these days. There's nothing I can do about it. I can't get out of the cage." Here. I’ll treat you to a drink later, as much as you want. We can set off and return today, keeping our word!”
She couldn't stand the donkey's enthusiasm. It looked like it had rolled in the mud countless times and was dirty. Don't make her clothes dirty.
After she walked out of the Ghost Danger Valley, her demon power was restricted, so she couldn't get a second set of clothes to change.
What woman doesn’t love to be beautiful?
After comforting the donkey who almost rubbed her into the mud, the fox girl diligently lifted the wine jar, removed the porcelain cover, and filled the donkey with a bowl of wine as an apology. She was very happy to meet the donkey again after not seeing each other for several months. .
The ferocity of the donkey is directed at thieves and bad people.
Although she occasionally rolled her eyes at people, she always behaved herself on the road.
After drinking the soup and eating a whole leg of lamb sliced with a bamboo knife, Xin Yue was very full. This meal was several levels higher than what she had eaten in Guiwei Valley. She asked curiously: "Where did you hunt this from?" Delicious food? Are there any sheep in the forbidden area?"
In her mind, it was impossible for an ordinary wild sheep like this to survive in the dangerous forbidden land.
After Zhang Wenfeng finished his breakfast, he continued to grill mutton pieces so that he could take them with him on the road. He smiled and said: "In front of you is a turbulent river. There is a large grassland at the bend of the river on the left. Wild sheep, wild deer, and hares live there. Category, there are quite a lot of them.”
He didn't ask about the situation in Guiwei Valley. He only saw that the fox girl was wearing new clothes and new shoes, and he knew that there were no forbidden laws in that place as he expected.
As the fox girl walked out, the white fog in Guiwei Valley dissipated, and it became ordinary and normal again.
Xin Yue's eyes lit up and she whispered: "Let's go catch some prey. On the way back, we can use it to exchange Caiyun Gold, Fire Brown Ganoderma, Purple Lingzhi and other treasures with strangers in Fushan Town to avoid spending too much. Time to search, what do you think?”
In her eyes, wild sheep and wild deer are for food.
If she could exchange for rare treasures, she would like to catch all the sheep and deer.
She smiled and made the sign of nine to Guanzhu Zhang, which meant that she had obtained nine fuyao fruits from Guiwei Valley.
The treasures of heaven and earth are not cabbages in the ground. After sixty years of ups and downs, it is like using the heaven and earth as a furnace to raise fire and refine elixirs. It is already a great harvest to have nine spiritual fruits left.
Zhang Wenfeng smiled and nodded. He was very satisfied with the result and said: "You can catch a few old and weak prey, but you can't catch them all. There is a reason why sheep and deer can survive. The opposite side of that place is special, it is a forbidden area. Lu Zi and I were trapped in the forbidden area, and we have only been out for three days, and we almost didn’t see you."
He stopped short of what he said, and briefly talked about the forbidden island, as a reminder to the fox girl.
He didn't mention Mo Ye, that was between him and Mo Ye.
It is not appropriate to teach to outsiders.
Xin Yue was stunned for a while. Sure enough, she couldn't wander into the forbidden area at will. The Nine Lives Ancestor told her not to stray too far, which was a warning. The fox girl was very interested and asked to go see it and take a look.
That isolated island was so close to Ghost Danger Valley, so she had to write it down and warn those who came after the fox demon tribe.
The donkey volunteered to lead the way, and went hunting with the fox girl. They were about to return, and they had to be as thoughtful as the fox girl to avoid wasting the dangers they encountered on the road.
Zhang Wenfeng once again told the donkey not to be greedy and to limit the number of prey to ten.
He would finish roasting the meat later and start absorbing the wood energy to make thorough preparations for breaking into the territory of the Albizia Tree Demon seven or eight miles away.
After walking through it once, everyone has experience and knows the passage between the albizia tree demons.
If he breaks out again, he will be familiar with the road, and he won't cause any trouble like last time when the fox girl needed to detoxify.
It took a lot of hard work when you came, but you came back with a lot of achievements.
very good!
