Seeing Ni Chenyi's arrival, everyone hurriedly stopped talking and stood up to greet them. Ni Chenyi not only brought a large amount of dry food and dried meat, but also thoughtfully brought everyone clothes to keep out the cold.
After handing the things to Datou and others, Ni Chenyi smiled and walked over to Changsheng, "Don't worry, I will definitely help you handle the things you told me."
Ni Chenyi had never met Batulu before, so Changsheng took her to introduce her. Unlike Datou and others, Batulu was not Changsheng's subordinate, but his senior brother. As the saying goes, an elder brother is like a father, so Ni Chenyi's meeting ceremony He was very solemn and bowed before saying, "Meet my eldest brother."
"Haha, I've seen you before." Batulu smiled.
Seeing the confusion on Ni Chenyi's face, Changsheng explained casually, "When we used the Void Mystic Sect to transmit the rhinoceros horn a few days ago, Senior Brother was also there."
Hearing Changsheng's words, Ni Chenyi's doubts disappeared, "I often hear Changsheng mention my eldest brother. He always says that my eldest brother is very brave and has the courage to be invincible to ten thousand men."
Everyone likes to hear good things, and Batulu is no exception. Ni Chenyi's compliment made him very happy, and he grinned, "Haha, you can talk better than his wife."
As soon as Batulu said this, the originally harmonious atmosphere suddenly turned a little awkward. Batulu got into trouble without knowing it. He pointed to the copper box placed under the tree and said, "The thing is over there. Come and take a look." look."
At this time, Yu Yi also returned through the Void Xuanmen and brought back drinks and lunch. Everyone sat around under the tree, drinking and eating.
There was no need for Chang Sheng to open his mouth when Datou and others were there. Everyone talked to Ni Chenyi about how they got the Sun-Chasing Boots and the magical features of the Sun-Chasing Boots. Ni Chenyi was also very interested in the Sun-Chasing Boots and did not pretend to refuse. He was overjoyed and thanked him profusely.
Datou rushed to Ni Chenyi and said, "According to the snake spirit, the water pool for soaking straw shoes is on the top of the mountain. The mountain is too steep. It will be very troublesome to climb up. You should stop climbing. After dinner, I will send you up with a golden eagle." .”
"My sacred cow flies more steadily than your bird." Batulu said.
Yang Kai said, "Chengdu Zaitian is the place where the Kuafu family has lived for generations. It is rare to come here, so it is better to search for it."
"Okay, let's climb up and look for it as we go, so we don't miss anything good." Big Head nodded.
Since everyone had just returned from the Western Regions not long ago, nothing important happened in Khotan during this period. Food and grass to support the Tang Dynasty were still being shipped non-stop, and the convoy returning to Khotan from the Tang Dynasty was still on the road.
Except for Batulu, everyone else and Ni Chenyi were old acquaintances, and they spoke mostly casually. During the chat, they mentioned the rhino horns that they had sent over before. Ni Chenyi only said that those rhino horns were indeed rare and valuable, but things were so rare. Because they are expensive, if too many of the same thing appear in a short period of time, the price will inevitably be affected. Therefore, all the rhino horns cannot be sold immediately. They need to be hoarded and sold at a later price.
Worried that Changsheng and others were under too much pressure, Ni Chenyi comforted everyone, saying that the Ni family had strong financial resources, and even if they shipped a large amount of grain and grass, they could support it in a short period of time. Everyone could do their own thing with peace of mind and don't need to be too distracted by the Ni family.
After lunch, everyone started to climb the mountain. Ni Chenyi's cultivation was too poor, so for safety reasons, Batulu drove the fire unicorn to carry the load into the sky, while Datou drove Bai Girl to fly with him for protection. Changsheng and others flew across the mountain from all sides.
There are many apricot trees below the mountainside, and some tall trees begin to appear above the mountainside, mostly tall fir trees and catalpa trees. There are also some small birds and beasts in the mountains, but not many in number.
The Kuafu clan has long ceased to exist. After thousands of years of wind and rain, the buildings in the city have long been weathered. Everyone only found a cave at the southern foot, but there was nothing else inside except a few broken stone tools. According to the size of these stone axes and knives, it is not difficult to see that the Kuafu clan is very tall. They should be similar to Batulu, and they are not the legendary giants who are several feet tall.
Continuing to go up, the mountain becomes steeper. There are falcons nesting among the cliffs, but they are just ordinary falcons, with a wingspan of only three feet. In order to protect the chicks that have not yet left the nest, two adult falcons scream and attack the nest. Shi Xuanming, but because the falcon is too small, it does not pose a threat to Shi Xuanming.
Although they have not yet climbed to the top of the mountain, everyone already knows that there is indeed a water pool on the top of the mountain, because there is a small waterfall on the top of the mountain. Due to the strong mountain wind at high altitude, the water from the waterfall is blown away by the mountain wind, forming a dense cloud of mist from above the mountainside.
After burning incense, everyone climbed to the top of the mountain. The top of the mountain was only two feet square, and half of it was occupied by a pool in the middle. The area around the pool was covered with moss. Everyone was scattered around, barely standing.
The ancients said that the water is as high as the mountain. The scene here perfectly interprets this sentence. On the steep and towering mountain, there is a self-generating spring with extremely abundant water. The water is clear and freezing cold.
"Someone must have been to this place," Big Head said, "Nothing was left behind."
"It's possible that Chengdu Zaitian is much more famous than Yufa Mountain and Shanhu Mountain." Changsheng held it in one hand and soaked the entire copper box in the pool.
Since there are few and small holes in the copper box, the pond water cannot completely fill the copper box in a short period of time. Therefore, the sun-chasing boots in the copper box are still colliding violently at the beginning of entering the water. However, as the pond water pours in, the boots in the copper box are The movement is getting smaller and smaller.
Just when the snake spirit of the secret path of longevity was not lying, he suddenly found a pair of glowing eyes deep in the pool at a glance. He felt awe-inspiring and hurriedly withdrew his hands to lift the copper box out of the water.
Datou and others also noticed it, Datou said eagerly, "There is something in the water!"
Just when everyone was on alert, Tan Zheng's strange eyes slowly disappeared as an undercurrent surged.
"What?" Shi Xuanming frowned in confusion.
Seeing that the danger was gone, Da Tou relaxed a lot and said, "Why don't you jump down and have a look?"
Batulu didn't know that Big Head was just joking, so he said seriously, "Don't go down, what if it bites someone? This place is like a big chimney. We can smash a hole in the chimney and release the water inside."
"There is no need to add extraneous branches." Changsheng dipped the copper box into the pool again.
As the pond water immersed, the copper box that was still about to move gradually became quiet. Since the mountain wind was too strong to try, Changsheng took the copper box out of the pond and said, "Let's go down."
Going down the mountain is always faster than going up the mountain. After a while, everyone returned to the tree where they rested. At this time, the water in the copper box had not yet finished flowing and was still dripping slowly.
After confirming that the Chasing Sun Boots had been soaked in the pond water, Changsheng drew his sword and opened the copper box, and two emerald green straw sandals came into view.
The straw sandals soaked in the pond water are not only more emerald in color, but also seem to be alive. Each grass stem that weaves the sandals is winding and trembling.
Worried that touching would lead to recognition, Chang Sheng did not dare to get too close, "Just give it a try, there shouldn't be anything wrong."
Hearing Changsheng's words, Ni Chenyi immediately reached out to take it, never thinking that he would shrink his hand as soon as he touched it.
The immortality is close by, and you can see it clearly. The grass stems that weave the sun-chasing boots will actually pierce the skin and suck the blood.
"It's reasonable to suck blood and recognize the master." Changsheng said in a low voice.
After Chang Sheng said this, Ni Chenyi reached out for it again. This time he was not stung again and successfully picked it up, "Do you want to take off your shoes?"
"You shouldn't need it, just put it on the outside." Changsheng said.
"Why don't we distinguish between left and right?" Ni Chenyi asked again.
"In ancient times, there were no distinctions between left and right shoes, you could wear them casually," Changsheng said.
Hearing Changsheng's words, Ni Chenyi immediately put the straw sandal on his left foot and then took the other one. Unexpectedly, he was stung again.
Having learned from the past, Ni Chenyi stopped panicking and picked up his right foot again.
"How does it feel?" Changsheng was a little nervous.
"It seems like I don't feel anything." Ni Chenyi replied.
"Try running." Changsheng said.
Ni Chenyi nodded slowly, took a deep breath, and walked quickly.
As the wind suddenly rose, Ni Chenyi suddenly disappeared...
