Theoretically speaking, Song Ciwan should not have known Tushan Keji, and Tushan Keji should have "met" Song Ciwan for the first time.
However, it was not a slip of the tongue that Song Ciwan took the initiative to call out the origins of Tushan Keji. She said bluntly: "Tushan Keji, the genius of the demon clan, traveled throughout the nine states. Who in the world doesn't recognize him?"
This is true.
After all, the last time the fox demon blocked the road, Song Ciwan discussed matters with him in the Sitong Escort Bureau. Although the two sides had a mysterious confrontation, the fox demon did not take the initiative to introduce himself last time.
He never said "I am Tushan Keji" to Song Ciwan. He only introduced himself to Duan Xinghun.
Of course, this section was unknown to Song Ciwan. Song Ciwan didn't even know that Tushan Keji had used Song Ciwan's theory of species balance to preach to Duan Xinghun.
Tushan Katsumi was able to extend a fallacy on his own, which even made Duan Xinghun vomit blood!
Song Ciwan didn't know all of this. She only had her own perspective, and it was inevitable that she was sometimes lacking.
Song Ciwan was certain that this person was Tushan Keji, and it was also because she later went to Pinglan City and deliberately searched for some information about the demon clan, and was able to accurately determine the origin of this person.
Tushan Keji said: "My fellow Taoist knows me, but I don't know my fellow Taoist. Logically speaking, my Taoist friends are extraordinary and should not be unknown."
Although this genius of the demon clan had never fought head-on with Song Ciwan, the previous chase between the two sides was actually an invisible contest.
When Song Ciwan crossed space, Tushan Keji followed him like a shadow and never chased Song Ciwan away. Tushan Keji won; but before that, Song Ciwan revealed that Tushan Keji was hiding in the mountain wind. A little, but Song Ciwan won again.
Being able to tell Po Tushan to control Ji Xingzang is already a proof of strength.
The back-and-forth between the two sides seems to be gentle and peaceful, but in fact it is an undercurrent.
Song Ciwan smiled and said: "The world is so big that those who can achieve greatness in one area are as numerous as the sands of the Milky Way, and they are not worth mentioning. My Taoist friends call me extraordinary today, but it is because my Taoist friends are extraordinary, so they see me as extraordinary."
Tushan Katsumi said: "I see how charming Qingshan is?"
Song Ciwan said: "I expected Qingshan to see me like this."
Tushan Keji immediately put his hands on his hands and smiled: "So that's it! Fellow Taoist is really a wonderful person. If this is the case, I will see that fellow Taoist is extraordinary!"
While the two were talking, Song Ciwan took another step and crossed thirty miles.
This time, she came directly to the foot of Tianlong Mountain!
After crossing the mighty Tianlong Mountain, Fengling County is in front of you.
Tushan Katsumi followed closely behind and also stood at the foot of Tianlong Mountain.
I saw that Tianlong Mountain is so high that it can be said to reach straight into the sky. There is a plank road built on the mountain, but this plank road follows the mountain. It is as steep as a knife, trembling and dangerous every step.
Such a steep Tianlong Mountain is impossible for ordinary people to climb.
Those who can climb mountains and ridges must at least be warriors with a certain level.
Another unique feature of Tianlong Mountain is that the mountain is not only steep, but also has an unspeakable evil spirit that radiates from the inside out like a awn.
Even if ordinary practitioners can fly, it will be difficult for them to fly over Tianlong Mountain.
To cross this mountain, the only way is to climb the plank road - that is, take this official road set up by the Zhou court.
The official way of the Great Zhou Dynasty and the national destiny are passed.
Even if the evil spirit of Tianlong Mountain is difficult to eliminate and there is an official road, it will certainly not be able to block the traffic between the two counties.
Song Ciwan stood in front of the official road at the foot of Tianlong Mountain. Although it was getting late, there was still a group of more than ten people on the official road walking towards the mountain——
Here, Song Ciwan paid special attention to this group of people, mainly because there was a common sense among the people of Zhou Dynasty: it is best not to travel at night.
If you are traveling for a long distance and have to stay out at night, the generally correct approach is to camp where you are and light a fire to keep vigil.
And I would never say that I was still climbing Tianlong Mountain in the evening.
This approach was against common sense, so Song Ciwan took another look at it.
Tushan Keji noticed Song Ciwan's gaze, but said: "Those in front are merchants. These merchants resell from north to south. Some goods are seasonal and cannot be delayed on the road. Businessmen cherish things and money, and would rather abandon the perfect method than carry them. My head is on its way. I was puzzled at first, but now that I have seen it a lot, I am no longer surprised."
I see!
Tushan Keji has traveled across Kyushu for many years. Compared to Song Ciwan, who has never left Cangling County, Tushan Keji is actually more familiar with everything in the world.
Song Ciwan withdrew her gaze and stepped lightly onto the plank road ahead.
On this special official road, although she could no longer perform the art of crossing space at will, her steps were still as fast as the breeze and as fast as lightning.
In the blink of an eye, she could cover a distance of tens of feet, with Katsumi Tuyama still following close behind.
One person and one demon soon surpassed the group of merchants. The merchants were carrying burdens and chatting lively as they hurried on, completely unaware of the two figures passing quickly by them.
Tushan Katsumi said: "Friend Taoist, I have a bet, which is very interesting. I wonder if you are interested?"
Song Ciwan asked: "What is the bet?"
Tushan Katsumi said: "Let's make a bet on whether the group of people just now can successfully cross Tianlong Mountain. If not, there will be many casualties. The more accurate the guess, the winner. What do you think, fellow Taoist?"
Song Ciwan didn't like this bet in her heart. She said: "To put other people's lives as a bet means to despise life. To be honest, fellow Taoists, sad things happen all the time in the world. Although I don't understand common sense, I don't think so. The lives of others are being gambled. If things go on like this for a long time, people’s hearts will no longer be human, so how can they still be human?”
Tushan Katsumi didn't expect that Song Ciwan would refuse, let alone that she would refuse so straightforwardly.
He was completely puzzled and asked: "Why don't fellow Taoists listen to the bet?"
Song Ciwan said: "Fellow Taoist, you can talk about the bet."
Tushan Keji smiled and said: "I have a handful of spiritual tea, collected from Kunshan. This tea has the foundation of immortality. It is called Kunshan Yunwu. Taking it can improve your understanding to the third level. Kunshan Yunwu is a five-star spiritual tea. Taoist friends take it seriously." Don’t want to gamble?”
Five stars!
So far, Song Ciwan has only obtained one five-star rare item, which is the Golden Cicada and Jade Slough.
The bet that Tushan Keji casually took out was Five-Star Spirit Tea. Not only ordinary monks could not resist such temptation, but even the children of wealthy aristocratic families might not be willing to refuse.
After all, even if I have it, I can definitely not have too much.
Song Ciwan still refused, she said: "So that fellow Taoists know that the reason why I heard about the bet is not to weigh the pros and cons and decide whether to agree to the bet. But I want to make fellow Taoists willing to understand. No matter what the bet is, if you can’t gamble, I will definitely not gamble.”
This attitude, to put it mildly, can be said to be almost fooling.
Song Ciwan was prepared for Tushan Keji to get angry and fall out, but to his surprise, the fox demon remained calm and peaceful.
Tushan Katsuki just smiled slightly: "No, fellow Taoist, you haven't heard the bet yet, so there is no need to draw a conclusion so early."
