Since the death of Qingniu, Yuchan and Chongmingniao have been worried and uneasy, not knowing when the disaster will befall them. Seeing the sword light in the air coming and going, and landing on Yinsha Peak, they grew stronger. I dared to spy from a distance and saw Sirius being surrendered by the little Taoist boy. I didn't dare to breathe. Now that my whereabouts were exposed, I had no choice but to crawl out of the mountain col with a rope shaking, and show up to beg for mercy. One of them was a fat lair, and the other was a yellow-faced aunt. Their knees weakened and they knelt down in front of Qingming, kowtowing repeatedly.
Qingming scratched his head and said with a smile: "After almost eight hundred years, I can't stand it anymore. Tell me, how did that big white dog convince you to abandon Kunlun?"
Yu Chan rolled his eyes and thought for a while, then realized that the big white dog turned out to be Tianlang Guo Kui. He looked embarrassed and said uneasily: "He, he, he defeated us with his fists. There is nothing I can do. The one with the strongest strength is me, so I can only obey his orders."
"You are a bachelor and an honest man! Forget it, it's not difficult for you. I have something to do. You two, go to Liushi Peak to accept your guilt. The elders will decide how to deal with it. Go, go!"
Yuchan and Chongmingniao looked at each other. They were not willing to go back to accept their guilt. They knelt straight on the ground and said: "I am willing to serve the master, serve as a mount, do rough work, open roads in the mountains, and build bridges in the water."
Qingming was quite moved after hearing this. He was followed by two big demons, waiting in front of him and on horseback. They were very majestic. He glanced at Wei Shiqi, as if asking him what he meant. Wei Shiqi knew what he was thinking and didn't stop him. He just said: "It's okay to follow, as long as they take the opportunity to escape, and there must be someone guarding Jietian Ridge. Otherwise, monsters will run rampant and cause trouble. After all, it is not a person." thing."
Yuchan and Chongmingniao swore repeatedly that they would not escape even if they were hit with a stick, they would donate their essence and blood, sow the heart poison, and they would be willing to be driven by their master.
Qingming felt that it made sense, and everyone would say it with empty teeth. After leaving Jietian Ridge, there was no restraint, and the two demons went to the barren mountains and wilderness to hide, and there was no place to look for them. Planting heart poison is a way, but it's a pity that he doesn't know how to do it. Qingming suddenly had an idea, stretched out his hand and patted the two demons on the shoulder, and said: "Be obedient, and I will lift the ban for you in the future. If you don't obey, hey, you will suffer!" "
Er Yao felt a numbness on his shoulders, and something seemed to be inside his body. When he looked carefully, he felt that it was ethereal and vague. Yuchan was honest and believed his words to be true, but Chongmingniao murmured in his heart. He could plant a ban with just a tap on the shoulder. Could he be fooling people?
"Then let's settle it like this -" Qingming pinched his chin and said, "The jade toad stays in Jietian Ridge, gathering and restraining the monsters. The Chongming bird can fly, so follow us and let's go play tricks!"
Yu Chan was very reluctant, but after the "guru" said this, he did not dare to say anything, so he had to watch them leave in disgrace.
Qingming shouted that he wanted to go down the mountain to play, but he had no idea, so he left it to Wei Shiqi to make the decision. Wei Shiqi thought about it for a moment and decided to take him to the mortal world.
Wei Shiqi walked with his sword, rising up and down, slowing down a little, and the Chongming Bird appeared in its original form, with a body like a chicken, double-pupiled eyes, and a bare body without feathers. It carried Qingming on its back and fluttered its flesh. The wings flew up, chasing the sword light all the way south.
So the two of them and one demon traveled day and night, crossing the vast Kunlun Mountains, arriving at a place crowded with people, and found a big and prosperous town to settle down.
The town is called Tonglu Town. It is located on the bank of the Ximin River. It is so large that it is almost equivalent to a large undefended city.
Wei Shiqi led Qingming around the town, looking at various shops - those selling cloth, making clothes, making shoes, making jewelry, selling rice, grinding flour, and selling vegetables. , those who sell oil, those who sell sauce, those who steam buns, those who make tofu, those who sell tea, those who sell iron, those who make wood, those who build houses, those who sell medicine, those who sell mules and horses, and so on. People - men, women, old people, children, young masters, maids, young men, traitors, shrews, gamblers, prostitutes, beggars, monks, nuns, rich people, poor white men, prominent people, business people The man, Bai Xiangren, bought new clothes, new trousers, new shoes, new hats and new socks for Qingming. He tasted snacks, watched sideshows, listened to operas and music, and everything the worldly life provided was presented to him.
At dusk, with smoke curling from the kitchen, the three of them came to a restaurant, ordered the most luxurious seats, ordered a banquet, looked at the street scene downstairs, drank, ate and chatted.
Qingming was very satisfied with Wei Shiqi's arrangements. He was full of energy. He wanted to ask about everything and taste everything. He saw more things in this short day than ever before. He liked it. This gave him an unprecedented understanding of secular life.
Wei Shiqi poured a glass of wine, drank it down, picked up a piece of dry-cut mutton and stuffed it into his mouth, chewed it a few times and swallowed it, and let out a long sigh of relief. It had been a long time since he had eaten such a solid piece of meat. At Wuya Temple in Liushi Peak, he lived without leaving the house, relying on bigu pills, drinking tea, and eating apricots, and almost felt like a bird was in his mouth.
It was also the first time for Chongming Bird to come to a human town. When he tasted the carefully prepared delicacies, he was stunned and almost swallowed his tongue. She was born in the Demon Suppression Tower, and was fortunate enough to be selected by Kunlun to guard Jietian Ridge for nearly eight hundred years. She had eaten wild beasts, monsters, and humans. How could the taste of consuming hair and blood be compared with the delicious food in front of her? She suddenly She felt that her previous days had been in vain. If she could stay here for the next ten to eight years, she would be willing to guard Jietian Ridge for Kunlun for another eight hundred years!
The banquet was turned over three times, and the dishes were served as if they were flowing water. They ate until late at night, and most of them went into the belly of the Chongming bird. The three of them walked out of the restaurant under the eyes of the waiter who looked like gods, and headed west under the moonlight. Take a leisurely walk by the Minjiang River.
Wei Shiqi taught him about the Qingming Festival, showed him the painted boat, listened to the melodious music, and told him about the Spring Festival, Lantern Festival, Touya, Cold Food, Qingming, Dragon Boat Festival, Chinese Valentine's Day, Zhongyuan, Mid-Autumn Festival, Double Ninth Festival, Winter Solstice, and Laba Festival. Qingming was envious of all the grand events such as the New Year's Eve, the New Year's Day, the stove sacrifice, and the New Year's Eve. He decided to stay in Tonglu Town for a while.
Wei Shiqi rented a small courtyard and settled down in Qingming. He could see new things every day. He never tired of it and never mentioned Huanliu Shifeng, which played into Chongmingniao's plan. Compared with Qingming, Chongmingniao hopes that such days can last forever. With the expectation, she quickly becomes familiar with the secular life, and under the instigation of Wei Shiqi, she becomes a female spy who flies over walls and walls. , stole yellow and white items worth tens of thousands of gold from the most splendid wealthy merchant in the town, causing a lot of trouble and panic.
Wei Shiqi stayed with Qingming in Tonglu Town for a month, and then he asked him to go to Xianyun Peak to visit his former classmates. Qingming knew that he couldn't worry about Qin Zhen, and there happened to be a Chongming bird following him, so he was able to wake him up easily and without force. He just told him to be careful and go back quickly.
