Xiaodieer and Pianpian on Fushan Mountain were playing in the mountains, followed by a cheerful peacock.
The crow stayed with Huajiao in front of the old man's cave. It couldn't fly at the moment, but Huajiao was slowly refining after taking the elixir given by the old man.
In the words of the old man, in the next ten or twenty years, Zanthoxylum bungeanum will no longer need to take magic medicine.
This elixir can help her practice until she reaches the mid-transcendent stage, which is what Xiaodie'er looks like now.
Only then did Huajiao understand why his senior sister and senior brother no longer needed the old man's elixir.
The old man looked at the crow and said with emotion: "Everyone in the world thinks that you can become a god by going to Mount Fu. If that's the case, why should I practice hard here?"
Crow Crow smiled when he heard this and said, "I won't think about cultivation matters. If I do, it's my master's business."
The crow is lazier than Xiao Die'er. Now it is taking advantage of the fact that it has not transformed and puts all the responsibilities on its master Li Xiuyuan.
When he was in Shura Heaven, and even when he went to the wilderness, he refused to call Li Xiuyuan master.
Until she came to Furong Town and saw Li Xiuyuan taking Huajiao as his disciple, teaching her how to practice while letting her cultivate her mind with her senior sister.
Only then did he willingly call Li Xiuyuan master.
The old man smiled and said, "Next time you and Xiaodie'er come to the East China Sea, remember to bring your master with you. The matter of my little peacock's transformation will fall on your master and apprentice."
The crow croaked and said with a smile: "No problem, my master personally taught a little green snake, and he just talked to her about Buddhist scriptures for three days. Soon after, it is said that she transformed into a human form and survived the tribulation."
"This is true. My senior sister Xiaodie'er knows it. Junior sister Huajiao didn't enter that mountain forest, so of course she doesn't know."
Sighing, Wu Wu smiled bitterly and said, "I heard from another senior that the green snake later fell in love with a woman that the master didn't like very much."
When Huajiao heard the crow mention the mysterious mountain forest, she couldn't help but sigh quietly.
Looking at the old man, he explained seriously: "Fortunately, my husband didn't make way for me, otherwise I'm afraid I'll never meet a person as good as my husband in this life."
The crow flapped its wings with feathers that were not yet fully grown: "Yes, that's the truth."
After listening to what the two said, the old man couldn't help but be fascinated by Li Xiuyuan.
After thinking silently for a long time, he said: "Pianpian's matters are important right now. I have to take her back. I will wait for the arrival of your master and disciple in the East China Sea."
The little princess of the East China Sea almost died in the Wandao Imperial City. For the old turtle, this was a bigger deal than the peacock's transformation.
Although until now, he still has not revealed Pianpian's identity to Xiaodie'er and others, it does not affect him from taking her home quickly.
But at this time, Meng Wuhen had to leave the imperial city and his home.
The reason was that he failed to get news about Duanmu Qingyun and a group of forbidden troops, but he got a lesson from Queen Helian Mingyue.
If it weren't for some reasons, he would have been in the prison of the Imperial City and squatting there.
The reason is simple. According to what Li Xiuyuan said, Gongyang Bo sent nearly 450 of the 500 military horses back to the government in Wanping Town.
Naturally, the reason will not be stated clearly. I just told the Wanping government that I picked it up on the roadside.
So many military horses appeared in Furong Town and were sent back to Wanping by the villagers. Naturally, the garrison here did not dare to hide it.
Report it to Dongfang County immediately and report it to the Imperial City at the same time.
An official document finally landed on Helian Mingyue's desk, and at this time Yun Qingjiao had already led a group of disciples to Tianshui Town.
The war horses were sent back to the Wanping government office. It was obvious that the five hundred forbidden troops who went to Furong Town never returned, and all of them were dead.
Without even thinking about it, I knew what was going on.
Helian Mingyue first called Meng Yidong, the head of the Meng Mansion and Meng Wuhen's father, and scolded him, and then brought Meng Wuhen into the palace and slapped him several times.
She hated that iron could not become steel, and Helian Mingyue wished she could be thrown into a prison and locked up for a few years.
.
Meng Wuhen didn't expect that things would turn out like this, so he didn't care if he got slapped a few times. He apologized and hurried back to the Meng Mansion.
Unexpectedly, as soon as he returned home, he was beaten severely by his father in front of the old man. He said that the queen was reluctant to beat him and it was Meng's turn to teach his descendants.
Meng Wuhen couldn't get out of bed for five days after this beating. On the sixth day, before dawn, he sneaked out of Meng's mansion and all the way out of the imperial city.
Thousands of miles away from Wandao Imperial City, but only two hundred miles away from Dongfang County, there is a vast stretch of mountains.
The highest one is called Tongguling, and there is a village on the ridge called Wangyun Village.
It is better to say that it is a copycat, but it is better to say that there is a group of bandits entrenched here, and the third leader of the bandits here caused some trouble in the imperial city, and finally asked Meng Wuhen to settle things for him.
As a result, the two of them got in touch. When something happened to him, Meng Wuhen also remembered Ouyang Long, the third boss he had helped.
A monk who has reached the sixth level of extraordinary cultivation is many times stronger than the previous Duanmu Qingyun.
It was only then that Meng Wuhen remembered that he had been too careless and should not have believed Duanmu Qingyun's words and let that guy lead the five hundred forbidden troops to Furong Town.
All the way to Wangyun Village, I asked the bandits at the foot of the mountain to report, and finally came up to see Ouyang Long.
Seeing Meng Wuhen's helpless look, Ouyang Long couldn't help but laugh and said, "I said, who provoked you? You look so ugly."
As soon as these words came out, Meng Wuhen was not angry. Instead, he smiled and said mockingly: "I blame my carelessness in making friends. I deserve to be beaten by my father."
Ouyang Long was shocked. To this day, Meng Wuhen's reputation is not very loud in the world.
But he knew in his heart that if he could prosper in the imperial city and solve the trouble for him back then, how could this guy in front of him be an ordinary person?
After thinking for a while, he asked calmly: "Tell me, why did you come to me? What do you want me to do?"
Facing Ouyang Long's gaze, Meng Wuhen replied calmly: "Originally, I didn't want to care about that matter anymore, but this time too many soldiers died. I want to ask you to help me."
At the moment, Meng Wuhen was self-aware and knew that with his own cultivation level, he was not afraid of confronting an expert in Furong Town.
But the current third master is different. Not to mention that Ouyang Long's cultivation is much higher than him. The key is that the second master and the first master here are well-known figures.
Hopefully Yunzhai will take action for him, and he can either pay or owe a favor.
As long as the trouble Duanmu Qingyun and others encountered in Furong Town can be settled, even if he returns to the Meng Mansion, or has a clear explanation with Queen Helian Mingyue.
Ouyang Long looked at him without replying, and the place became quiet for a while.
Meng Wuhen didn't know what he was thinking, thinking that this guy was just worried that the benefits he gave were not enough, or that he was afraid of getting into trouble with the government.
After pondering for a moment, Meng Wuhen took out a space ring and placed it in front of Ouyang Long.
He whispered: "I can greet the officials along the way and ask them to let you pass. You have to trust me on this."
"This is just a deposit. I'll pay the other half after everything is done. How about I owe you another favor?" Meng Wuhen said quietly.
Ouyang Long picked up the space ring and played with it for a while, then nodded slowly and replied, "You can't rush this matter. I have to make a plan with the eldest brother and the second brother."
"It's not urgent, as long as you can finish it in the summer, or even in the fall."
There was a faint glint in Meng Wuhen's eyes, and he sighed and said, "In that case, I'll leave this matter to you."
Ouyang Long nodded silently and said with a smile: "Since this is the case, you can rest assured."
The two drank two more cups of tea. Seeing that it was still early, Ouyang Long couldn't help but ask: "Master, where will you go next, or will you stay with me in this mountain for a few months?"
Meng Wuhen shook his head and said with a bitter smile: "Before you solve this trouble for me, I can't go home. I want to go for a walk in the East China Sea. After all, I don't know where to go."
Always wanted to go. "
Ouyang Long was shocked when he heard this and couldn't help blurting out: "That's really a good place!"
At the moment, he really wanted to say that if he hadn't promised Meng Wuhen to avenge him, he would have put aside the things in the village and gone to the East China Sea to see him. .z.
After all, that legendary island is where every monk wants to go.
Meng Wuhen smiled faintly, played with the jade ring on his finger, and said softly: "What are you in a hurry for? I'll go explore the way first. When you finish this matter, it won't be too late for us to go there next year."
Even Meng Wuhen never thought that he would be able to find the opportunity he wanted in the East China Sea just once.
If that were the case, the masters of the Imperial City would have been ruined for a long time. How could he be allowed to continue looking for a panacea to break through the realm now?
Ouyang Long laughed when he heard this, patted his thigh and replied, "Then we've decided, you go explore the road first, and we'll go there next year."
The mountains are beautiful, the sun is high, and it’s a good time for an outing.
With the help of the old man, Huajiao finally broke through to the first level, but the elixir in her body had not yet begun to be refined.
The old man told her that this elixir would not be slowly refined by her until autumn, or even when it snowed.
In other words, in winter, Zanthoxylum bungeanum can break through again, which is really a happy thing for her.
After staying in the mountains for a few days, the crow's feathers still haven't grown much. It seems that they can only wait until they return to Furong Town to slowly grow them.
On this day, the old man led a group of people down Fushan and all the way to Tianshui Town.
Xiao Die'er and the other three bid farewell to the old man and Pian Pian all the way. When Peacock arrived at the dock, there happened to be a merchant ship heading to Haiyun Town at the mouth of the East China Sea.
Xiao Die'er thought about going to the town to buy two skirts to wear on the road, so she waved goodbye to Pianpian: "Sister Pianpian, you go first. Junior sister and I will rest in the town for the night."
The old man coughed, looked at her and replied: "I hope we will meet again one day..."
Pianpian hugged Xiaodie'er and whimpered, "Sister, remember to come to the East China Sea to see me."
After saying that, he gave Xiao Die'er a jade pendant. Xiao Die'er saw that it was a light yellow jade pendant with a small dragon carved on the front and the word "Jade" on the back.
Then he chuckled and said, "I am a poor man and I have no treasure for my sister."
Pianpian shook her head and explained: "After I go back with Grandpa Turtle this time, from now on, all the elders and disciples of the Zoroastrian Cult, as well as the monks of the Wandao Imperial City, will not be allowed to set foot in the East China Sea."
"When my sister comes to see me, you can board the ship with this square jade pendant. Sister Peacock and I will wait for her on Fairy Island."
When the crow heard this, he immediately croaked: "Don't worry, I will definitely convince the master to let him go to the East China Sea to play."
Huajiao and the old man Yingying Yifu said, "Senior, it's a good journey. If the master travels next time, Huajiao should follow him to the East China Sea."
The old man stroked his beard and smiled and said, "Well, let's say goodbye and Pianpian take your peacock sister on board."
The peacock nodded to Xiao Die'er and the crow, called "Chirp!" twice, flapped its wings and flew up to the merchant ship.
Pianpian took the old man's hand and got on the boat. The boat slowly started to leave the dock and headed towards the East China Sea.
Hua Jiao was heartbroken and waved desperately to Pian Pian and the old man: "Goodbye Pian Pian, goodbye senior..."
The old man standing on the bow of the boat smiled slightly, touched Pianpian's head and said, "I think within a year, their master and apprentice will come to the East China Sea."
Pianpian sighed and said quietly: "Grandpa Turtle, they are all Pianpian's saviors, from the hands of that little snake, from the hands of that evil woman..."
The old man replied calmly: "Then you must remember not to come here again in the future."
