Even Mu Qingyan was speechless for a long time, and finally said: "Why don't we leave first? Looking at the situation, it won't be so powerful for a while."
As soon as he finished speaking, there was another violent vibration in the stone room. The giant python was obviously not far away. Through the open stone window, the familiar and thick smell of blood drifted down the wind.
Just when everyone was about to leave, the cub on the stone table suddenly stood up, its originally hazy and swollen eyelids suddenly opened, and a low roar came from its throat.
Mu Qingyan thought to himself, and just when he was about to reach out to hug the cub, he bared his teeth and looked fierce. He had no choice but to say to Cai Zhao, "Hurry and carry it to the window!"
Cai Zhao understood and immediately carried the cub to the window so that it could hear the movement outside and smell the python's breath.
The fishy smell mixed with countless bones and flesh floated on the top of the snowy ridge, and accompanied by a heart-shaking hissing sound, the giant python slowly approached. The cub became inexplicably excited, its wings spread out under its ribs, and the bright scales on its back stood up. At the same time, it raised its neck and roared loudly - the roar was not very loud, but very low, very low and deep. , like a trumpet blowing from the ground.
It’s no big deal for others, but Mu Qingyan knows that the ear canals of humans and animals are different. There are some sounds that humans can’t hear, but animals can hear them.
The cub straightened its slender neck and kept roaring, and the fishy smell in the air seemed to freeze.
Twenty years later, the fear engraved deep in the blood of the giant python was once again aroused. This roar came from the natural enemy that had devoured countless similar species from ancient times to the present. The once unscrupulous giant python family would be easily defeated in front of this natural enemy. Cramp and peel off the skin, then eat alive.
After waiting for an unknown amount of time, the tremors under my feet gradually disappeared, and the air returned to the coldness of the ice and snow before.
"The big snake... left?" Cai Zhao was not sure and looked down at the cub in his hand. "It barked a few times and the big snake ran away obediently?"
Mu Qingyan stared at the meat ball in the girl's arms with dissatisfaction: "Do you know what a natural enemy is? A natural enemy is a nemesis that can kill an entire clan for generations, no matter how many generations it is reproduced - for example, what our divine religion does to you in the north Chen Liu Sect."
Cai Zhao: "... As long as my brother is happy."
The snow girl estimated that the giant python would hide underground in the heart of the mountain again. After the crisis was resolved, everyone started acting again.
Mu Qingyan was very suspicious. Even if the cub was really a snow-scale dragon beast, there was no guarantee that the saliva could really break the body-changing technique.
At his request, Qian Xueshen meditated and burned a stick of incense, took out the silver needle that sticks to the flesh from her arms, and transformed Mu Qingyan into a middle-aged wretched man with a face full of flesh and blood butcher.
Cai Zhao: ...You are seeking personal revenge.
Mu Qingyan was unhappy and looked at Qian Xueshen coldly, but Qian Xueshen pretended not to understand.
After Mu Qingyan took the saliva, his whole body was as cold as dead, and he returned to his original shape after a while.
Cai Zhao was overjoyed: "It seems to be true!"
What is the most important thing for newborn babies is saliva.
The meaty dragon beast cub grinned stupidly and drooled randomly. Xue Nu took out a half-foot-tall jade bottle from the back room and filled it with saliva for Cai Zhao, "If it's just to break the spell of the Thousand Faces Gate, In fact, a little bit is enough. I don’t know how many people you want to test, but this big bottle is enough.”
Cai Zhao noticed the details in the words, "Is a little enough? In order for a person to reveal his true form, how much saliva must be drunk at least."
The snow girl shrugged: "I don't know, but my master said that back then, someone poured a small cup of saliva into a twenty kilogram wine jar, and then forty or fifty people appeared at the banquet."
"What?!" Cai Zhao was surprised, "It's okay to mix it with wine, but is it okay to mix it with water?"
"Of course." Snow Girl said: "Otherwise, why do you think the founder of Thousand Faces retreated to the rivers and lakes? As long as the Snow Scale Dragon Beast spits into the water tank, anyone who drinks the water will appear. With such a big flaw, Thousand Faces Grandmaster, if there is anything else to do, he will naturally go into seclusion."
Cai Zhao and Mu Qingyan looked at each other, and Qian Xueshen suddenly realized: "So that's it. So until it is confirmed that the Snow Scale Dragon Beast is completely extinct, our faction dares to come out one after another."
Mu Qingyan laughed sarcastically: "Actually, Patriarch Beichen had long foreseen that the practice of body-changing would have too many taboos, and sooner or later it would become the target of public criticism. Before he died, he exposed the method of breaking the body-changing practice, in fact, to protect them, but it's a pity..."
Cai Zhao sighed: "It's a pity that no matter how great Ancestor Beichen is, he can't be considered greedy. The Thousand Faces Sect will eventually be destroyed."
Xue Nu filled a pot full of saliva for Cai Zhao, saying that it was enough to examine thousands of people.
The life and death of the two elders are still uncertain, and Cai Zhao does not want to delay any longer.
When we were saying goodbye, the chubby cub kept nuzzling Cai Zhao, feeling very attached to him.
Cai Zhao felt sad in his heart, "It's not that I don't want to take you down the mountain, but there are too many bad people outside. You are still safe here. Alas, why don't I go up the mountain to accompany you before I can find my master and father."
Mu Qingyan sneered and said, "Forget it, you have been complaining about the lack of green onion in your wontons for several days. You are so attached to the bustling world of fireworks. It's hard for you to live on the top of such a cold and silent snow-capped ridge for three days. Still want to stay with it forever? Haha."
Cai Zhao's face turned red when his true identity was revealed, and he said to Xue Nu in a sullen voice: "When I have time, I will come to the mountain to see you and Xiaoxue."
The corners of Xue Nu's lips curved, as if she remembered something: "Back then, your aunt said the same thing to my master before she left."
Cai Zhao was startled.
Snow Girl: "But my master has been waiting for more than ten years, and your aunt has never come back. Before his death, my master wanted to see her again, but he couldn't." She has always been cold and rarely has emotions, but she can't hide the blame in her words. .
Cai Zhao lowered his head: "... Not long after my aunt left here, the world was in chaos. Later she fought a big devil. When the devil died, she was also disabled. She stayed on the bed for more than ten years. She was in this snowy mountain. Can’t get up.”
Snow Goddess's expression brightened slightly: "I see, is she feeling better now?"
"She passed away three years ago."
Before leaving, Cai Zhao repeatedly told Xue Nu, "If you get tired of staying here, you must come to Luoying Valley to find me."
The snow girl showed a faint mockery, "It's a good place here. I won't get tired of staying here. People are the source of all evil. I never want to go to the world under the mountain."
On the way down the mountain, Cai Zhao sighed repeatedly, "For my own selfish reasons, I hatched Xiaoxue. I don't know whether it was right or wrong. Now that there is only one snow-scaled dragon beast left in the world, it must be so lonely."
Qianxue thought deeply that she was alone and her master and family members were all dead. She felt the same and sighed softly.
Unexpectedly, Mu Qingyan said coldly: "You two save it, the Snowscale Dragon Beast has an extremely long lifespan, at least two hundred years. After two hundred years of vicissitudes of the sea, maybe another one of its kind will appear in any corner of the corner, but By that time, our grandchildren will all turn into ashes - we ordinary people should not worry about the long-lived little ones!"
Qian Xueshen suddenly stopped feeling sad.
Cai Zhao gave Mu Qingyan a dull slap: "You really don't understand amorous feelings."
Walking to the mountainside, Qianxue Shen suddenly stopped walking. He said: "You go, I won't leave."
Mu Qingyan raised his eyebrows: "Don't you want my antidote?"
Qianxue smiled deeply and shook her head: "The poison is fake. Mu Shaojun, I'm afraid you have seen many of my shortcomings along the way. Thank you for your tolerance and patience." With that, he said to Mu Qing Yan bowed deeply.
Cai Zhao was puzzled: "But what are you doing here? Why are you staying here in this deserted place of ice and snow?"
Qian Xueshen smiled slightly: "Some of what Miss Xue said is right, and I have some insights after listening to it. Whether it is the Snow Scale Dragon Beast or the body-changing method, they are things that should not reappear in the human world. In fact, it would be better for me to die, but I I still can’t bear to part with this skin.”
"This is the place where my whole family once lived. I feel safe staying here. I will slowly raise Xuefeng Xuezhu's children. Little Cai Nvxia and Mu Shaojun, the two of you I met are mine. Blessing. There is always a feast that must come to an end, so let’s just say goodbye to it.”
"I don't want to go to the human world at the foot of the mountain anymore."
It was getting late, and the wind and snow started to rise again in the mountains. Amidst the long wind and drifting snow, the three of them said goodbye.
Looking at the back of the girl who was gradually going away, Qian Xueshen suddenly said loudly: "If we encounter mountaineers in trouble in the future, I, I will still save them!" After saying this, he picked up four white-haired babies. The beast turned around and left without looking back.
Two lines of hot tears rolled down his cheeks, and he walked into the wind and snow, choking.
There was something he kept in mind but never said to Cai Zhao.
--Thank you.
Thank you for saving me several times.
Thank you for defending me and helping me get revenge.
Thank you for always believing that I am not a bad person.
Father, mother, uncle, aunt, they are not wrong, it is the evil people who are wrong.
His great revenge has been avenged, he has been reborn, and he is willing to protect this snowy ridge for the rest of his life.
There is no great good.
Chapter 64
After passing the deserted Snow Mountain Inn, Mu and Cai rode on the golden giant roc and traveled day and night. They returned to the bamboo forest monastery in two days. After a short rest, Cai Zhao was about to set off back to Jiuli Mountain. Who knew that Mu Qingyan said, "I won't go with you."
Cai Zhao was surprised that this guy had stuck to him like brown candy along the way, so why did he suddenly change his gender?
Mu Qingyan smiled: "Uncle Cheng has told me what happened in the past ten days. After you broke through the pass and went down the mountain, although no one dared to kill the counterfeit to verify the authenticity, no one took him seriously again. It is the master of a sect, Song Yuzhi and Li Wenxun teamed up to surround Muwei Palace, and they are only allowed to enter but not to leave."
"Sect leader Qi and your father are very popular, but Song Shijun and Zhou Zhizhen actually put aside all the affairs of the sect and rushed to Jiuli Mountain two or three days ago. The situation in the sect is now reversed. The impostor and his men are actually He is under house arrest, but the method of changing one's body is really perfect, and the impostor bit him to death because he is the leader of the Qi clan, so no one can be a bad person."
"Now that you have a solution, Guangtianmen and Peiqiong Villa will support you. It doesn't matter whether I go or not. If I go up the mountain with you and someone sees my identity, it will be detrimental to you - I'm afraid these principles have gone through your mind hundreds of times, but actually you don't want me to go with you."
Cai Zhao's face turned red: "I did think so."
Mu Qingyan leaned quietly by the bamboo window. The sun was setting in the west. The light red light fell softly on his body. His eyebrows were elegant and gentle. He said: "What to do, you have already made a plan in your mind."
Cai Zhao nodded: "I have been thinking about it all the way, and I have already thought about it."
Mu Qingyan curled his lips slightly: "You are very smart and have a good idea. I believe you will get what you want."
"Well." Cai Zhao put a hand on the door, "Then...I'm leaving then."
"Let's go, watch out for yourself."
Cai Zhao lowered his head, shuffled his steps, and turned around slowly.
"Zhaozhao." Mu Qingyan suddenly said, "Is there anything else you want to ask me?"
Cai Zhao leaned against the door frame and tilted his head. After a moment, he said: "...Why did you ask whether Xue Nu's master was a boy or a girl?" In fact, she had nothing to ask.
Mu Qingyan smiled, "Because, I thought Xue Nu's master was your aunt's sweetheart."
"Nonsense! My aunt is engaged, and she is in love with Uncle Zhou's childhood sweetheart. Stop saying these unsubstantiated words!" Cai Zhao sneered.
"I know there is no proof, but I just feel that your aunt has someone else in her heart that she loves." Mu Qingyan said.
Cai Zhaoqi asked: "Why do you have this idea?"
Mu Qingyan looked at her quietly, "Anyone who has a little bit of energy can't let his sweetheart marry another person so easily. If it were me, if I really let go, it would be the last time in my life."
Cai Zhao slowly looked away, feeling that today's sunset was particularly dazzling.
Mu Qingyan turned his head and chuckled, "But your aunt not only happily persuaded Zhou Zhizhen to marry her childhood rival, but she also kept going back and forth and getting along harmoniously for more than ten years after that - is this reasonable?"
Cai Zhao bit his lip: "You can't judge others by yourself. My aunt is a very open-minded and generous woman. She just laughs off things that seem big to others."
Mu Qingyan suddenly darkened his face: "What's so good about being open-minded? I just like petty people. The more petty-minded the better! You should leave quickly, it will be dark if you don't leave!"
Originally, he was free to leave, but in the end he was almost kicked out of Zhulin Jingshe. Cai Zhao felt that Mu Qingyan was really moody to the extreme.
She was so angry that she didn't dare to delay the important matter. She rushed into the city gate at night and finally entered the city gate of Qingque Town. Then she entered a house in a remote alley and sneaked into an unused utility room in the backyard. In the house, he pried open three wall bricks, found the disguise box that Jade had left there, and slipped out like a fish.
Fengyunding is heavily guarded, and disciples coming and going not only need tokens, but also need to identify their faces.
Cai Zhao secretly observed for a moment, knocked out a Guangtianmen disciple who was about to cross the cliff, dragged him to the woods and took off his outer robe, then disguised himself in the moonlight so that he looked more or less like him, and then put it on again. His coat, carrying his token.
Her disguise skills can only be temporarily deceived, and the secret will be exposed immediately when she meets an acquaintance. Fortunately, a large number of disciples have come to Guangtianmen and Peiqiong Villa in the past few days. The disciples on duty at Fengyunding and the person who was knocked unconscious by Cai Zhao But there were only a few faces, and it was already dark, so they let her cross the cliff.
Cai Zhao was like a fish in water after climbing thousands of mountains and rivers. He easily visited various kitchens and found that the cooks were preparing midnight snacks. From their complaints, Cai Zhao heard that after the master of the Da Song Dynasty went up the cliff, he wanted to face the impostor for twelve hours, trying to find out the flaws, so snacks and snacks were unavoidable.
He was really dozed off when he met the pillow delivery man. Cai Zhao smoothly poured some saliva into the water tank for late night snacks, then poured some saliva into the water tank in the tea room, and finally slipped away to Chuitianwu to find the reliable Song. Third senior brother is leaving.
