In the secluded forest late at night, the moon hangs on the treetops. The moonlight is as bright as water, and the mountain breeze seems to cause ripples.
Li Changan was sitting cross-legged in the moonlight, his chest and abdomen rising and falling rhythmically. It turned out that he was cultivating through the moonlight.
After a while, he let out a long breath and opened his eyes. Under the grass blades, in the flowers, on the treetops, in the cracks of the rocks... there were sounds of rustling, they were all little fairies attracted by the moonlight. Most of these little things were transformed by the essence of grass, trees, mountains and rivers, and they were harmless. Li Changan didn't care about them, he just raised the moonlight and collected the moonlight.
Then he took a sip of moon wine, and the cool breath seemed to make the wound less painful.
He put down the wine cup, only to find a "daring" little goblin lying at his feet. It seemed that the "moonlight bath" just now was so comfortable that he actually fell asleep.
This little thing is a flower essence, conceived by the essence of flowers. It looks similar to a little human girl, but is only the size of a finger. The "wings" folded behind it are two small jasmine petals.
Li Changan looked amused, broke off a grass stem and poked her face. She pushed the stem away with her little hands, turned over and covered herself with petals. Li Changan wanted to tease her even more, so he poked her again. The little flower essence just raised her hand, but suddenly froze. She gently raised the petals, poked her head out, and saw a big face staring at her with a smile.
"ah!"
She exclaimed, climbed up, and hid under the grass with her hands and feet.
Unfortunately, the blades of grass were too small, covering the head but exposing the buttocks.
Li Changan smiled and tapped her butt, and she pushed her butt under the grass, but her head was exposed.
Li Changan wanted to tease her again, but suddenly found that her little body was shaking violently.
That's right, I tried to have fun for a while, but this little thing was scared to death.
Li Changan stopped teasing her, and just stuck the moon wine with a grass stem and handed it to her little head. The little thing immediately smelled the moon wine, and regardless of fear, he quickly got out from under the grass blades. Although his face was still a little shiny, he couldn't wait to hug the grass stems and bury his face in it. In the wine drops.
Suck slip.
She drank up all the drops of wine in two or three gulps, and then looked at Li Changan eagerly, as if to say: Please have another drop.
At this time, a big black head suddenly appeared.
"Oh!"
The little thing exclaimed again, but this time he learned his lesson and got into the grass.
The big green donkey snorted, grinned and took small steps to Li Changan's side. He stuck out his tongue and licked the "moon wine" that was still half in the cup.
Li Changan didn't stop it, just patted it on the head.
"You stingy bitch, how much can a little guy drink?"
The big green donkey shook his head, took a small lick, and showed an intoxicated look like a drunkard.
This donkey is not a monster, it is just an ordinary green donkey purchased at the horse market. But after drinking moon wine by chance, it actually became a little smarter. Li Changan was also happy to see it. After all, he was often alone in the wilderness. It's okay for a donkey to talk.
Suddenly, the big green donkey pricked up its ears.
"Taoist priest……"
A clear male voice suddenly sounded. Li Changan looked solemn, but he calmly took the sword and placed it in front of his knees before turning his head.
Under the old tree in front, stood a middle-aged man with a rich belt.
"...Want to attend the cocktail party?"
Li Changan squinted his eyes and looked at the man, tapping the scabbard with his knuckles. After a long time, he suddenly smiled and said:
"OK."
……………………
Li Changan followed the man holding his sword.
With the man leading the way, the rugged mountain forest seemed much easier to navigate in the dark. Although the moonlight was blocked by the thick and dense tree canopy, many fireflies flew out of the forest and followed them all the way around, so there was no need to worry about not being able to see clearly below.
Li Changan silently took out a Chonglong Jade Talisman.
Still dressed so neatly in the middle of the night deep in the mountains and forests, this man is certainly not an ordinary person.
Li Changan started the magic spell, and the yellow talisman burned quietly, but there was a look of doubt on his face.
This man smells nothing!
Li Changan's nose only smelled of mud, water, and trees... there was no smell of monsters, and no smell of humans.
This is the first time since I learned how to rush the Dragon Jade Talisman that I have failed.
"What do you call me sir?"
The man didn't even look back.
"Just call me Mr. Heng."
Mr. Heng? Mr. Hu is a fox demon, Mr. Huang is a weasel demon, Mr. Danglu is a wolf demon, Yu Li is a tiger demon, Mr. Wu Guang is a crab demon, and which kind of monster is this Mr. Heng?
Li Changan wanted to feel the reality again.
"It turns out it was Mr. Heng in person. Pindao's common surname is Li and his Taoist name is Xuanxiao. I wonder what kind of reception he was attending? Why did you invite Pindao?"
Mr. Heng still didn’t look back.
"As long as there is good wine, of course anyone can participate."
It turned out that he was interested in the remaining moon wine in his bowl. How attractive is this moon wine to monsters?
"Is it okay if it's been licked by a donkey?"
Unexpectedly, these words made Mr. Heng stop, turned around, and said calmly:
“What a donkey drinks is no different from what a man drinks.”
Uh...well, as long as you don't mind it.
……………………
Li Changan felt that since he obtained the magical powers in the yellow shell book, his already boldness seemed to have become even fatter!
Even if he is not as good as Zhao Zilong, he is almost as good as Jiang Boyue.
Deep in the mountains and old forests, he actually dared to attend an inexplicable cocktail party with monsters who appeared out of nowhere! You should act more cautiously in the future.
But now, it’s here.
Li Changan calmly followed Mr. Heng into a forest. There was a large open space in the center of the forest. There is a large bluestone in the open space, and a small pool is carved out of the stone.
Mr. Heng walked straight to the edge of the pool, took out a small gourd, opened the stopper, and a rich aroma of wine floated out. The aroma was warm and long-lasting. Even with Li Changan's sense of smell that was magnified many times, there was still no trace of odor. It was really rare. Great wine!
But Mr. Heng didn't care at all. He poured all the wine in the gourd into the pool, then found a place, sat down cross-legged, closed his eyes and rested.
Li Changan asked several times, but received no response, so he simply followed his example, poured the remaining wine in the cup into the pool, sat down and put his sword in front of his knees.
Not long after, there were sudden rumbling sounds.
Li Changan followed the sound and couldn't help but put his hand on the scabbard.
I saw a giant with a height of three stories walking out of the forest carrying a huge barrel. He opened the barrel and Li Changan's nose twitched. It was also filled with good wine.
The giant poured the wine in the barrel into the pool. The pool was a bit strange. After pouring so much wine, it only rose a small level.
As soon as the giant sat down, a bird flew over, and a small thing jumped off the bird's back. It was a mouse in official uniform. The mouse held a small wine flask in his arms and poured the wine into the pool.
After that, all kinds of monsters came one after another, some animals became enlightened, and some plants became spirits. The only thing they had in common was that they all brought good wine.
They mingled and sat together, even among natural enemies such as snakes and frogs, without any scruples.
Even Li Changan sat down next to a big rabbit wearing a short shirt. Seeing this, he was quite puzzled. Although rabbits are cute, braised rabbit heads are also delicious!
He wanted to turn around and ask: "Rabbit Demon, I am a Taoist priest. Aren't you afraid that I will use it to drink after I surrender you?"
In the blink of an eye, the open space was filled with people, and the wine pool was gradually filling up.
Suddenly, Mr. Heng opened his eyes and spoke.
"coming."
"What's coming..."
Li Changan didn't know why, but the rabbit sitting next to him glared at him with red eyes, motioned for him to be silent, and pointed at his ears.
Li Changan was a little confused. It was the first time in his life that he was taught a lesson by a rabbit, but he still calmed down and listened attentively. It was quiet in the mountains, except for the faint and crisp sound of broken jade in the mountain wind, which was slight and intermittent. Then, the sound gradually became denser, as if it was gradually filling the forest.
Suddenly, in front of Li Changan, a small flower appeared on the tip of a hanging branch. Then, with a sound like ice cracking and jade breaking, a small flower bloomed. It had four petals, but it was translucent with a slight blue color. color.
The moonlight was just right at this time, and the moonlight reflected on the translucent petals, creating a faint halo.
Before Li Changan could see clearly, the second and third flowers had already bloomed on the branches... In an instant, the tree was filled with fragrance.
Li Changan was thoughtful and raised his head. The mountain forest had turned into a sea of flowers.
………………
The translucent petals trembled gently on the branches, like the swaying moonlight of a tree.
At this moment, under the flower tree.
Whether they are humans or monsters, plants or animals, they are all immersed in the beautiful scenery of this good night.
Until, Mr. Heng clapped his hands.
Flower essences flew out from the sea of flowers. They were no different from the little flower essences Li Changan met before, except that they were several times larger, and each hand held a palm-sized wooden bowl. They gathered on the wine pool, and then suddenly dispersed. The wooden bowl was filled with wine.
They distributed wooden bowls to every guest present, no matter their body size, no matter how much wine they brought, they all treated them equally. If you are small, you can lean on the bowl as if you are leaning against a bathtub. If you are big, you can place it carefully with only your fingertips.
Li Changan saw it interestingly. Suddenly, a burst of floral fragrance hit him, and a wooden bowl filled with clear wine was handed to him.
"Huh?"
Li Changan took it and was a little surprised. The other guests' bowls were only eight percent full, but his bowl was almost full to the point of overflowing.
He raised his eyes and saw that the flower spirits fluttering their wings of jasmine petals blinked at him, then merged into the group of flower spirits and flew into the sea of flowers and disappeared.
"Drink wins."
Mr. Heng raised the wine bowl high, and Li Changan followed suit and carefully raised the bowl, drinking together with the guests.
When the wine enters the throat, it seems that there are thousands of flavors flowing in the chest and abdomen, and they merge into one place, exuding rich vitality. Wherever it passes, the limbs and bones are all warm and comfortable, but the whole body is itchy. He rubbed the itchy area and removed a bloody scab.
Li Changan rolled up his sleeves, and the wounds left by the fierce battle on Snake Head Mountain had healed. Moreover, only a small part of the vitality bred in the wine has gone, and more has been integrated into the body.
He was a little surprised. Such a miraculous effect could not be overestimated as Qiong juice and jade liquid!
Suddenly, the big green donkey pouted and pushed its head into his arms, stretched out its tongue and licked the bowl.
What a stupid ass! Licking the bottom of the bowl has become a habit.
Li Changan patted the donkey's head and let it lick away the residue at the bottom of the bowl.
unexpectedly.
The big green donkey licked it for a few times, then staggered a few steps and fell to the ground stiffly.
Li Changan looked anxiously.
Although the stupid donkey fell to the ground, he was snoring and seemed to be drunk. Li Changan breathed a sigh of relief, but then his eyes narrowed. A few snowflakes grew out of the saliva at the corner of the donkey's mouth, a bunch of morning glories slowly emerged from his ears, and there seemed to be green buds ready to move under the fur everywhere on his body. .
"this……"
Li Changan was dumbfounded. Could this stupid donkey be turned into a potted plant?
Suddenly, Mr. Heng next to him reached out and patted the donkey's head, and all the green shoots of the flowers and plants fell off and fell into the soil.
The stupid donkey stood up unsteadily, its ears twitching as if it didn't understand the situation. Instead, it grunted and stretched its head into the wine bowl. Li Changan quickly slapped it away.
If you haven’t grown enough for potted plants, do you want to use them as flower fertilizer?
The donkey brayed a few times, then waggled its tail and went off to eat grass.
At this time, the monsters in the field had already left their places and gathered together in twos and threes to enjoy the flowers and drink.
Li Changan was alone without a demon to talk to him, and suddenly a thought came to his mind. He had no clue and couldn't find the spider monster, but there were so many monsters at the scene, could he ask them about it?
Although he also felt that it was a bit whimsical, there was nothing to do, so Li Changan shamelessly found a few kinder-looking monsters to get in touch with him.
"spider?"
This monster is only half a human tall, and most of its body has been transformed into a human form. It just carries two gauze-like wings on its back. It should be some kind of insect.
"Is he that disgusting guy with eight legs and many eyes who hunts with traps?"
The insect monster looked disgusted, but Li Changan felt happy in his heart. It seemed like something was going on.
"There must be a lot of these disgusting guys! There are mortal territories in and out of the mountains, everywhere!"
"Uh...I mean he became a demon."
"There are quite a few! There are mortal territories in and out of the mountains, everywhere!"
Li Changan blinked, there are so many?
"I'm asking about the big spider..."
Li Changan recalled the spider picture in the yellow shell book. The spider in the picture was wrapping a living person into a cocoon, and the living person in front of it was not much bigger than a chicken. So, he looked around and finally pointed at the giant sitting cross-legged.
"Someone as big as him."
"Oh..." Several monsters raised their heads together and gave meaningless praises to the giant who looked incomprehensible. "Such a big spider!"
"Where did you see it?" the insect monster asked eagerly, with shock and fear on his face.
Li Changan was quite speechless: "Didn't I ask you this?"
"Hey, I have some impression..." A round-headed monster next to him, exuding the fragrance of vegetation, patted his forehead and said, "...I heard a passing oriole say that there is a mountain in Minzhou. A big spider came, it was very ferocious and it ate all the little monsters nearby!"
Li Changan's eyes lit up and he quickly asked: "Where is the mountain?"
The monster has a round head and wide eyes.
"I do not know either!"
Li Changan was waiting to ask more questions, when suddenly, a bit of coolness fell on the tip of his nose.
He took it off and saw that it was a small petal.
Feeling something in his heart, he raised his head.
The mountain breeze brought the breath of the mountains and swamps into the forest, and the translucent flowers left the branches one after another. Under the moonlight, it was like a drizzle, and the moonlight sprinkled all over the ground.
In an instant, Li Changan's shoulders were covered with petals.
At this time, the earth trembled, and the giant who had been sitting cross-legged stood up. He cupped his hands towards the field and strode away with the sound of rumbling footsteps.
The party is over.
……………………
The lush flower scene is like a dream.
Wake up from a sweet dream, and the feast is over.
In the blink of an eye, the woods became deserted again. Li Changan still stood where he was, not that he was nostalgic, but just thinking about the information he had just learned.
"Minzhou?"
He took out a map he had bought at a high price, looked at it for a while under the moonlight, and finally nodded.
"Well, Minzhou is here. But..."
He scratched his head. According to the plan, he should be on the official road. But now, he looked up and saw mountains and trees and trees, but he saw layers of strange rocks and no villagers. In other words, he has long been lost!
"Taoist priest, what are you looking at?"
He turned around and saw that Mr. Heng was quite elusive. Li Changan smiled awkwardly and told his situation frankly.
A rare smile flashed across Mr. Na Heng's serious face. He pointed to a place on the map and said, "You are here now."
When Li Changan saw it, his face became even more embarrassed. The map mark where Mr. Heng pointed was called "Yuheng Mountain", which was thousands of miles away from where he expected.
At this time, Mr. Heng said again: "You can go down the mountain along the mountain road on the left. Down the mountain is the official road. Then follow the official road all the way north to Minzhou."
Mountain road?
There are shrubs stuck between the surrounding trees, and vines connecting the shrubs. Where did the mountain road come from?
Li Changan looked to the left and was surprised to find that the trees there were indeed sparse, and there was a vague road.
He quickly handed over his hand and thanked him. Mr. Heng nodded calmly and accepted it. He frowned and considered for a while before handing over a wooden sign.
"I'll lend it to you temporarily."
Li Changan took it in his hand and found that the sign looked like wood, but its texture was much solid, somewhere between wood and stone. There were several strong and dignified words outlined in ink on the brand. Li Changan couldn't recognize it, but he felt it looked familiar.
Thinking back carefully, I suddenly remembered the talisman left by the Patriarch. It was somewhat similar to the talisman on it!
"Yunzhuan!"
Li Changan exclaimed and raised his head. The wind blew the trees and there was no one else around.
He didn't hesitate and said loudly: "Thank you very much." Then he took the green donkey and went down the mountain.
Walking on the mountain road, Li Changan was shocked to realize the magic of the "wooden sign".
Wherever he passed, overgrown branches raised up to form a roof for him, weeds lay low, and thorns sheltered him from his path. When encountering a steep slope, trees extend their branches to serve as handrails; when encountering a ravine, vines link up to form a bridge; when encountering a stream, the truth immediately comes to light.
He was walking on the mountain road here, and everything in the mountain was clearly making way for him.
Within a few hours, Li Changan had walked out of the deep mountains and forests and onto a deserted official road.
Yuheng Mountain? Mr. Heng?
Li Changan suddenly realized that he was the God of Yuheng Mountain!
He placed the wooden sign on a bluestone at the foot of the mountain, made a sincere memorial, then rode on the big green donkey and headed north.
