Qeng Ho Mage

Chapter 9 Qingqing
The skeleton banshee pointed to the south: "The slaves escaped from the Lishui River."

The Liangjie Mountains stretch for thousands of miles from north to south, separating the two mortal kingdoms from east to west.

To the east is the country of Li.

The country is named after the Lishui River in its territory.

This river passes through the eight states of Li State, and finally flows into the Shituo Canyon in Liangjie Mountain, which is also the end of the river.

"A slave is not a fugitive slave."

The skeleton banshee revealed her life experience: "The slave girl rotted into bones in the river, and then turned into a demon. After she landed, she was taken in by the Golden Fan Empress. Seeing that the slave girl was lonely, she let the servant girl live in her cave and cast river pearls for her."

Her voice is clear and youthful.

Her tone of voice is not like that of a sophisticated adult, and she has a sense of immaturity. This may be the reason why she has been a demon for too short a time. Her demon power is very shallow, even Fang Dushu can't match it.

No wonder he couldn't even beat a black bear.

Fang Dushu asked her: "Miss Jinshan? Is it your master?"

She shook her head: "The empress is not a human being, the empress is a female ghost!"

Fang Dushu asked again: "Ghost? What does the ghost Lian Hezhen do?"

"Sell it!"

She explained in detail: "Hezhen can refine magic tools and make pills. Renxiu on Shituo Gorge likes it the most. Empress Jinshan often pretends to be a human being to do business with Renxiu."

It's pretending to be a human being again.

It seems that this golden fan lady is a female flower detective.

Fang Dushu smiled and said: "Isn't it good to do business, why don't you follow your mother?"

The skeleton banshee said sadly: "The empress had an enmity with the people from the Shituo Gorge, and was killed by his partner. Those people were relentless and came to rob the empress's cave. The slaves had no shelter and had to run away. .”

"Why didn't those people hunt you down? Logically, they should let you reunite with your mother."

"The empress raised a dozen or so children. When Renxiu came to kill her, the servants ran away in the chaos. The empress's cave was built by the Lishui River. The servants knew water and hid at the bottom of the river. Renxiu dared not go down the river to search."

"Then you should stay in the river to practice. After all, you are an aquatic monster, aren't you safer than on the shore?"

"So that benefactor knows that there are river demons living in the river, who are ignorant of human intelligence, bloodthirsty and easy to kill, hunting and looking for food everywhere! Although the servants and servants are fast, it is difficult to escape their pursuit. After wearing the bone melting bracelet, The situation of slaves in the river is even more difficult."

The skeleton banshee shook her wrist at Fang Dushu.

She continued: "At that time, the servant escaped from the empress's cave, Renxiu used this bone-bone bracelet to beat the servant, suppressing the slave's demon body, and it can interfere with the servant's swimming. The danger in the river is much greater than that on the bank."

When the people on the shore caught her, at most they would dismantle her body to make treasures. If caught by the river monster, she would be eaten alive.

On balance, she decided to go ashore.

She has also been through hardships.

But when she told the story, she was always flat, without showing hostility or self-pity.

Of course, this does not mean that she is naturally optimistic.

It may also be that she thinks that a skeleton monster should be like this, and being beaten and killed is inevitable, so she is used to it.

"The slave girl didn't stay in the water for long, and didn't dare to stay in Shituo Gorge anymore, so she wandered all the way to the north. When she came here a month ago, she saw this peach garden full of mountains, it was very beautiful, and there were no fellows to live in, so she simply settled down. Family."

Speaking of this, the skeleton banshee lowered her tone: "Who would have known that this place turned out to be the territory of benefactor."

She began to wait quietly.

Fang Dushu didn't look at her, but turned around and looked to the south: "Shituo Gorge is at least a hundred miles away from here. The boundary you're wandering around is really not close."

She also didn't want to run so far: "If you get too close, you will be caught by Renxiu from Shituo Gorge."

Fang Dushu is not interested in Renxiu, nor does he care about her experience.

He held up a mirror in his hands.

This is the Progenitor Mirror obtained in the valley.

Fang Dushu showed the mountain scene in the mirror to the skeleton banshee: "Take a closer look, do you recognize this place?"

She just took one look and was startled.

Fang Dushu couldn't help but brighten his eyes, it seemed that there was something going on.

"Have you ever seen it?"

"Gongong, this cliff is very similar to Yeguangbi."

"What luminous jade? Please be more specific."

"When the slaves fled, they hid during the day and drove at night. That night, the slaves passed a high cliff. The shape was just like the cliff in the mirror. It was as flat as a knife, and there was a yellow light shining on the cliff wall."

Originally, Fang Dushu looked for the skeleton banshee to observe the mirror without any hope, he just asked casually.

Unexpectedly, the banshee gave him a surprise: "Where is Ye Guangbi and how far is it?"

The Skeleton Banshee calculated: "The servants should be very careful on their way. They can walk up to twenty miles in one night. The Luminous Jade is about two nights away from here."

Fang Dushu immediately said: "Take me to look for Yeguangbi, as long as you find it, then I will forget about your trespassing on my territory and picking my flowers and fruits."

"This……"

She hesitated a little: "Grandfather, there is a giant gorilla living on the luminous jade, its fist is bigger than the slave's skull, you'd better not go, this Taoyuan is so comfortable to live in, why bother to take risks."

"Stop talking nonsense."

Fang Dushu didn't argue: "Just say you're going or not?"

She no longer hesitated: "If benefactor insists on going, then this servant will definitely lead you the way."

"Very good!"

Fang Dushu signaled her: "Pick up the bear corpse and follow me."

She deftly used the demon wind, rolled up the bear carcass, followed Fang Dushu, looked in the direction, and couldn't help reminding: "Grandfather, go find Ye Guangbi, we're going south."

The direction is now west.

Of course Fang Dushu knew: "Ben Engong hasn't eaten meat for several days, so roast a bear's paw first, and after a full meal, it's not too late to go on your way."

He wanted to go back to tidy up the cave, and this time he went to look for Ye Guangbi, no matter whether he could find it or not, he would never come back.

The skeleton banshee didn't say much anymore, and followed him silently to a stream.

He walked along the bank of the stream for half a stick of incense, and stopped at the foot of a mountain.

This is where Fang Dushu's cave is located.

"Do you know how to cook a barbecue?"

"Slaves are useless."

The skeleton banshee said ashamedly: "The servant is a skeleton, so she doesn't usually eat, and the Golden Fan Lady doesn't eat blood. There is no stove in her cave, so the servant has no experience in roasting bear's paws."

"Then you are really useless."

Fang Dushu did it himself, peeled off the bear's skin, cut up the bear's meat, cleaned it, lit a fire again, strung together several bear's legs, and put them on the iron frame.

During the baking, Fang Dushu went up the mountain alone, and went back to the cave to pack his luggage.

Stop busy and close the cave.

When Fang Dushu came to the shore again, the bear meat was just cooked, and the timing was just right.

He sat down by the fire, took off his cinnabar hat, rolled up his sleeves, fetched a leg, and ate the barbecue.

The skeleton banshee stared blankly at him for a while, before she dared to ask: "Grandpa, why did your appearance change?"

Fang Dushu laughed: "This is the true face of my benefactor!"

The skeleton banshee couldn't figure out why Fang Dushu wanted to change his appearance. He was human anyway, so why bother.

She thought to herself again, Fang Dushu now has a big beard, and he is not as white-faced scholarly folk monster as before.

She dared not speak any more.

Fang Dushu took the initiative to ask her, "Do you have a name?"

"The maidservant's name is Qingqing."

"What's your last name?"

"The servant's surname is He, the river of the river."

"It's easy for you. You were born in Heli with the surname He."

"The servant also wants to trouble, but the servant has no parents."
