The Mystery of Mountains and Rivers

Chapter 38 Bringing Maid Tianqi out of the Mountain

The next day, Tianqi took the elated maid Xiaokui down the mountain.

Not far from Wuyin Mountain is a town, and next to the town is the official road connecting Qingzhou and Yunzhou.

"Oh my lord, it turns out that the place below the mountain is so lively."

Xiao Kui followed the helpless Tian Qi with two bunches of candied haws.

"Holyhock, can you stop being so worthless, how many snacks have you eaten?" Xiaokui's surname is Shu, and she has served Tianqi since she was a child, so Tianqi talks to her very casually, unlike an ordinary master and servant.

"Have I eaten a lot? Have I?" Xiaokui asked with big innocent eyes.

"For a while, you have eaten three servings of sesame candies, one candied haws, and two servings of flower cakes. You didn't eat breakfast today?" Tian Qi looked at Xiaokui who was pretending to be stupid, and couldn't laugh or cry.

"Oh, the food at the foot of the mountain is really delicious. I haven't been down the mountain for many years. Would you like a bunch of candied haws?" Xiaokui said, stuffing the candied haws into her little mouth again.

"I don't want it." As soon as Tian Qi finished speaking, he saw a familiar figure sitting at a tea stand in the distance.

Xu Tingbai!
How is he here?
Tian Qi wanted to go up to have a look, but felt that it was not appropriate, so he suppressed his curiosity and took Xiaokui away.

Xu Tingbai is waiting for someone.

Not long after Tian Qi left, Xu Tingbai waited for the person he wanted to meet.

An old woman, all wrapped in black.

Xu Tingbai stood up and said in a low voice, "You're here."

The woman said lightly, "Take me to see him."

Xu Tingbai didn't dare to neglect, he hurriedly waved someone to lead the carriage, and took the woman in black to Wuyin Mountain.

Arriving in the Wuyin Mountain, Xu Tingbai led the woman directly to Wuwang Cave Mansion.

"Dao Zun is waiting for you inside, so I won't go in."

The woman in black ignored Xu Tingbai and walked slowly into the cave.

"You came."

Dao Zun's voice is always so vicissitudes.

"I am coming."

The woman in black nodded.

"How have you been these six years?"

Under the dim light of the oil lamp, the distressed expression on the woman's face was extremely vague, and she sighed softly, "I found the third son in Hongshi City."

Dao Zun was stunned: "Third Young Master? Where is he?"

"He is already an excellent soldier, don't you know the news about him?"

"How would I know?"

The woman in black sneered: "Isn't it the Red Stone City you sent the eldest son to? When I found the third son, he was dying, and I found the Tianyuan Shendan you refined in his body. You actually told me that you didn't know ?”

Dao Zun became anxious, and his voice became louder for a while: "I asked the eldest son to go to Hongshi City to do something. After he came back, he didn't tell me anything about the third son. How could I let them kill each other?" Among them, he seemed to be terrified of the woman in black in front of him.

"Picking mulberries! Don't think that I don't know about your tricks. We have received great kindness from the master. On the day the master died, we swore a blood oath. If you dare to harm the young master, not only me, but all the souls in the Wandu Mountain, I won't let you go."

Dao Zun's body shook violently, no one had called his name for many years, at first hearing it, it seemed to be a call from ancient times.

"I have no intention of harming your son, I just want to avenge my master!"

The woman in black sneered constantly: "Revenge? Don't you know who the enemy is? With your current force, you can kill him yourself."

"Bite the green!" Dao Zun was also anxious, calling out the name of the woman in black.

"Do you think that person is so easy to kill? It's not that I haven't tried it before, but there is a master of heaven hiding beside him, and I am restrained by the poisonous weeds in my body, so I am no match at all."

It turns out that the name of the woman in black is Biting Green, Spring Silkworm Picking Mulberry, Kingfisher Biting Green, and the two have known each other for decades.

The woman in black snorted, took out a wooden bottle and threw it to Dao Zun, "This is the medicine I made for you, it should last you a few more years, and I have to figure out other ways."

Dao Zun took over the wooden bottle, which contained his life-sustaining medicine. Ever since he was planted with poisonous weeds in his body, he was tortured day by day.

"Where is the eldest son?" Biting Green's voice never contained a trace of emotion.

"He has gone to Yunzhou. By the way, the Eldest Young Master has broken through the first rank of the Profound Realm, and is now a first-class master." Dao Zun's words revealed a hint of complacency. Not everyone can teach the first rank of the Profound Realm. .

"He has the master's blood on his body, so it's no surprise to become a master. But you, I'm afraid you didn't want him to see me, so you sent him away on purpose?" Although Yaolu was old, his thinking was still clear.

"No!" Dao Zun secretly said in his heart that he was still so smart, and hurriedly denied it.

"Picking mulberries, whether it is true or not, you know in your heart, you put away the medicine, and I'm leaving." After speaking, the woman in black got up and was about to leave.

"Bite the green!" There was a trace of sadness in Dao Zun's vicissitudes of business. Although the woman in black didn't look back, she stopped.

"You, don't you want to see me? It's been 18 years, you've been here three times, don't you want to see me now?" Dao Zun's voice was pleading, and the woman in black slowly turned around. nod.

For decades, they were the closest partners. What happened later made them go on different tracks forever.

Dao Zun walked slowly from outside the firelight, and his figure gradually became clear in the eyes of the woman in black.

What a face this is!
Only half of Dao Zun's face was left, and the other half had shrunk so that it was invisible to the naked eye. Only half of the eyes, nose, and mouth remained.Although the woman in black could not bear it on her face, her tone was still cold: "The spirit-leading grass is attacking faster than last time."

Dao Zun nodded: "That's true, I'm almost unable to resist. Although I'm not afraid of death, but if I delay revenge for my master, I will die with regret."

"Hmph, what you said is high-sounding, do you know that the second son almost died in your plan?" The woman in black put away her compassion and asked loudly.

"I don't know about this matter. It was arranged by the people below. I have ordered them to inquire about the whereabouts of the Second Young Master."

"Cai Sang, don't think I don't know your thoughts, revenge and revenge, are you trying to avenge your master or yourself? If you want to take revenge, go there quickly, but if one day I find out about your secret deeds, I will I will definitely plant [-] downs on you, and you will go to hell, and I will go with you." The woman in black walked away after finishing speaking.

Dao Zun stared at the direction in which the woman in black was leaving, and cast a venomous gaze from his only remaining eye. He glanced at the wooden bottle in his hand, opened the bottle cap and took out a dark pill and stuffed it into his mouth.

A moment later, Dao Zun's body began to tremble violently, and the flames of the oil lamps in the cave shook accordingly, and the pain of bone erosion made him let out bursts of low-pitched roars, like a wild beast, like an undead.

Half an hour later, Xu Tingbai in white walked into the cave gently.

"Dao Zun."

"she left?"

"Exactly, is Dao Zun better?"

Dao Zunxin hid his figure in the darkness, and said in a low voice: "Strengthen your guard tonight, I'm going to practice in the valley. Then send someone to Yunyan Grassland and tell Hu Erzhi to raise troops after the snowy night."

Xu Ting's eyelids twitched: "Yes."

"Bite green, do you think I can't do it without your antidote? If you want me to go to hell, I will send you all away together."

Xu Ting looked at his nose with white eyes, and his heart with his nose. He didn't hear a word of what Dao Zun said.
