Chapter 89
Leave Qiufeng Tower.
Qin Luo walked out of the bamboo forest and headed south. He originally planned to take a boat to Jiangling City. After mastering the water transportation of Luoshui, he knew Luoshui well, so he changed his mind.
A warm spring afternoon.
Qin Luo was dressed in a white robe and walked leisurely on the road. There were many grid-shaped fields on both sides of the road, and the people were working hard in the fields.
Hum! Hum!
The bald old man was digging in the field near the roadside, his body wet with sweat.
Qin Luo walked to the roadside and bowed slightly, "Old man, may I ask where this place is?"
The bald old man stood up and wiped the sweat from his face with the cloth around his neck. "This is Yongji Village. Where are you going?"
"I plan to go to the capital of Daxia."
The bald old man's eyes were full of envy, "I have never left Jiuyang County in my life."
"Ahead is Fenggu Town, and further south is Hongmulang City. You can go to the city and take a carriage to the royal capital."
Qin Luo smiled and said softly: "Old man, are there any interesting places nearby?"
The bald old man pointed to the southeast, with a proud look in his eyes, "In the southeast of Hongmulang City, three hundred miles away, there are nine mountains. Legend has it that nine suns are buried, and the nine mountains are burning. It's so damn roasting." Man, if you haven’t been to Jiuyang Mountain, don’t say you’ve been to Jiuyang County.”
Qin Luo looked to the southeast. He could feel special energy fluctuations in the distance, and his heart suddenly trembled. This feeling had happened when he obtained the law of time.
"Thank you, old man."
"You're welcome."
The bald old man continued to dig in the ground. He saw a shiny copper plate in the ground. He immediately bent down to pick it up, took the copper plate to his mouth, blew on it, and then put it to his ear, with a joyful smile on his face. "I'm so lucky today." Yes, copper plates can still be found in the ground, so it looks like it will be another good harvest year."
Qin Luo passed through Fenggu Town. There were many wild mulberry trees in the mountains, and many of the mulberry fruits on the trees were red and purple.
Xiaotuanzi flew to the tree to eat mulberry fruits, his hair stood up, his little face was excited, "Boss, the mulberries here are so sweet!"
Click!
Xiaotuanzi returned to Qin Luo's shoulder with the mulberry branch in his mouth. Qin Luo reached out and picked the half-red and half-purple mulberry fruit, put it into his mouth and tasted it. It melted with a sip. It was very moist and sweet.
Qin Luo finished eating the mulberry fruits, and then put Xiaotuanzi's broken mulberry branches into the Qiankun bag. He planned to plant the mulberry branches in Luoxia Peak so that the junior sister could also eat sweet mulberry fruits in the future.
Red Mulberry City is rich in silk. There are many shops selling silk in the city. The silk here is cheaper than other places, so there are many vendors who come here to buy goods.
Red Mulberry City is more lively than Yong'an City in Yanbei County. Qin Luo walked into Hongmulang City. He liked to see all the living beings. The busiest thing on the street was the teahouse. The storyteller was telling strange things about the mountains and fields on the stage. There were many children around the teahouse. Listen to stories outside.
Xiaotuanzi looked around, swallowing his saliva, "Boss, can you give me something to eat?"
"What do you want to eat?"
"Boss, I want to eat meatballs."
Qin Luo saw many children holding skewers of meatballs in their hands. There was a small stall cooking skewers not far away. There were various kinds of skewers in the pot. "Boss, how do you sell these skewers?"
The middle-aged vendor enthusiastically said: "Master Tao, you get one penny for vegetarian skewers, and three cents for meat skewers. If you buy ten skewers of vegetarian ones, you will get one vegetarian skewer, and if you buy ten skewers of meat ones, you will get one skewer of meat."
"Here's some meatballs."
"Okay."
Qin Luo handed the boss three copper coins.
He held a bunch of meatballs and handed them to Xiaotuanzi.
"Thank you, boss!"
The little dumplings were eaten with gusto.
Qin Luo quickened his pace and walked out of Hongmulang City.
In the evening, in the mulberry forest outside the city, there were many women picking mulberry leaves, and children under the trees picking mulberry fruits to eat. They were busy with their lives, which was both hard work and happiness.
After the sun sets.
There are still burning clouds in the sky.
Qin Luo could feel his heartbeat speeding up. He had this feeling when he first met Huaying.
"That should be Jiuyang Mountain."
Late at night, on the dark red ground, Qin Luo saw a white-haired old man riding a donkey in front of him. He felt very uncomfortable, so he quickly walked forward and said hello, "Senior, where are you going so late?"
The old man has a childlike face with white eyebrows and a white beard falling to his chest. He looks like an immortal.
The donkey was very small, and the white-browed old man was not as tall as Qin Luo sitting on the donkey's back.
The old man with white eyebrows looked at Qin Luo, pointed forward, with a calm expression, and said with a chuckle: "Little friend, I am going to Jiuyang Mountain. The evil there is almost unstoppable."
Qin Luo bowed and saluted, "Junior Qin Luo, Longhu Guan, happens to be planning to visit Jiuyang Mountain. If you don't mind, senior, I would like to go with you."
The white-browed old man's eyes widened and he raised his eyebrows, "Longhu Temple? Who is your master?"
"Zhang Fulong."
Qin Luo answered truthfully.
The white-browed old man looked up to the sky and laughed, and couldn't help but sigh: "I didn't expect you to be Zhang Fulong's disciple. It seems that guy is not dead yet. I discussed Taoism with your master in Luofu a long time ago. If he said he didn't win, he would fight. Don't imitate me." he."
"Choo Choo Choo!"
The little dumpling laughed heartily.
It knew that Zhang Fulong was not a good person.
Qin Luo was a little surprised. He didn't expect to meet Master's friends on the road. "I wonder what you call me, senior?"
"Xu Wuyou!"
"Mr. Xu."
Qin Luo gestured with his hands.
It is not easy for anyone to know Master.
Xu Wuyou stroked his beard and nodded with a smile, "Your master can't be reasonable, but you seem to be quite reasonable."
"Senior is joking."
Qin Luo then asked: "Senior, do you have any plans to go to the capital of Daxia?"
Xu Wuyou shook his head and chuckled, "Not yet, I would like to visit your master at Longhu Temple."
Qin Luo said with a respectful expression: "Senior, do you think man is destined to defeat heaven, or is nature determined to defeat man?"
Xu Wuyou seemed to have the answer already, and said without hesitation: "Heaven and man will either coexist or both will perish."
Qin Luo nodded, "I think the same as my predecessors. I support the unity of heaven and man, but I have no reason."
"You don't need a reason, you have to use your fists. Back then, I was so stubborn that your master almost beat me to death."
"..."
"Choo Choo Choo."
Xiaotuanzi tilted his head and smiled.
Qin Luo didn't know what to say.
Xu Wuyou took off the wine gourd from his waist and drank heavily, "I want to take revenge on your master!"
"Are you planning to go to the royal capital?"
"Yes."
Qin Luo nodded lightly.
Xu Wuyou's eyes narrowed slightly, and he reminded kindly: "The cause and effect in the royal capital is too big, you have to be careful."
"Thank you, Mr. Xu, for reminding me."
Qin Luo knew that Wang Du was in danger, but he couldn't wait for trouble to come to Longhuguan, he had to go.
Xu Wuyou rode a little donkey, and Qin Luo had a little dumpling standing on his shoulders. They discussed enlightenment and practice together, and rushed to Jiuyang Mountain in a hurry.
"My way lies in observing, the way of observing the sky, and the way of holding on to the sky."
"The Tao exists among all things."
"The way of the younger generation lies in the heart. My nature is self-sufficient and I don't seek anything from outside."
"If your heart is facing the sun, the Tao will continue to grow."
...
Jiuyang Mountain.
Nine mountains burned.
Fire can be seen for hundreds of miles around, and the surrounding area is deserted. This place is not suitable for ordinary people to live.
"What a rich flame energy."
There was light in Xiaotuanzi's eyes.
Xu Wuyou said in a deep voice: "The great evil sealed here is Jiufeng. When Daozu died, Jiufeng grabbed a fragment of Heavenly Dao. During the refining process, it was backlashed by Heavenly Dao. It turned into a violent and murderous beast and was suppressed by Heavenly Court. it's here."
Qin Luo thought there really were nine suns in Jiuyang County. He was a little confused, "I heard that the Imperial Master was collecting fragments of Heavenly Dao. Why didn't he come to seize the fragments of Heavenly Dao here?"
"Jiu Feng swallowed the fragments of Heavenly Dao into his body and possesses terrifying power. If the Imperial Master wants to capture it, he will have to pay a huge price." Xu Wuyou explained.
Qin Luo could feel the ominous power from a long distance away. His eyes were glowing with golden light and he could see the formations on the nine mountains. "Senior, the formations here have signs of being tampered with."
"That's right."
"The formation must be repaired immediately!"
Xu Wuyou formed a seal with his hands, and a Bagua array appeared in front of him. Qin Luo frowned slightly. His master had used the same sealing technique on Huaying.
Thinking of Xu Wuyou's acquaintance with the master and his experience discussing Taoism with him, they might all be from the same lineage as Taoist ancestors.
The Bagua array continued to expand, and finally formed a huge array covering nine mountains. Xu Wuyou urged the array to fall. When the array approached Jiuyang Mountain, the ancient array that had been manipulated suddenly collapsed completely, and Jiufeng lost bondage.
Nine pillars of fire hit the Bagua array.
Boom!
A huge explosion sounded.
The huge Bagua formation in the sky was torn to pieces, nine mountains were cracked at the same time, and the fire illuminated the heaven and earth.
Xu Wuyou frowned, his expression was horrified, "It's bad, a big evil has appeared, and the world is in trouble!"
