Chapter 24 How Can Crabs Walk?

Li Chuan decided to change the subject. He asked, "How did the remnant of the Frost Leaf we are looking for expose his whereabouts?"

"It was a couple who reported to the government. What a coincidence. The couple came from a family of Zhongming Dingshi. There was an elder in the family. So I read books and made alchemy by myself at home, and apart from blowing up the house often, nothing happened." Zhu Qingyun's tone was a little rushed, obviously she also wanted to skip the previous topic.

"As a result, more than 20 years ago, Shuangyemen recruited many disciples, so that elder worshiped in Shuangyemen, so that's fine," Zhu Qingyun sighed, "That's okay, this elder, I feel that I have been begging for many years. The fairy asked, he didn't knock on the fairy door until he was over sixty years old, so for his descendants, he donated all his family wealth and asked for a plum blossom."

"He gathered the descendants of the whole family together to taste incense." Zhu Qingyun's voice dropped again, "After the incident, a prosperous family disappeared all of a sudden."

"Then how did this couple escape?" Li Chuan was curious.

Zhu Qingyun said: "They were delayed on the road, and came back a step late. When they got home, the incense had been burned out, and they only came to smell the last bit of fragrance. It is precisely because of this that they were able to discover the frost leaf disciple. identity of."

She sighed, "there are only the two of them left in the whole family. The title and money are gone in their generation. The husband and wife made a total calculation, sold the rest of their belongings, left the capital, and went to other places to make a living. Ten days ago, the man contracted a nasty disease. Many doctors were invited to see him, but none of them worked. Finally, he went to a divine doctor. The divine doctor gave them a pill, and they got better after taking it.”

"The genius doctor said that this pill can only cure the surface, and if you want to cure the root, you need to make another medicine. So the couple took out all their money and asked the miracle doctor to prepare the medicine. After a few days, the medicine was ready, and the medicine was boiled. At the time, the couple found that the taste of this medicine was very similar to the smell of plum yellow when it burned.

They felt that something was wrong, and the two of them made up their minds, and at night when the genius doctor was asleep, they tied him up and sent him to the police.It's just that the miracle doctor was cunning and found a way to escape on the way to the official.The matter was reported to Qin Tianjian, and the dregs of the boiled medicine were also sent. After comparison, some ingredients in the dregs were indeed the same as plum yellow. "

"Then I was ordered by my teacher to investigate this matter. I traced it all the way and found that the remnant of Frost Leaf fled to Xuanshui Mountain." Zhu Qingyun finally finished the cause and effect.

Li Chuan asked: "Xuanshui Mountain is very big, if he sincerely wants to hide, he probably won't be able to find it in a day or two."

After hearing this, Zhu Qingyun took out a black jade compass the size of a palm, with the pointer pointing obliquely forward.

She said: "I have locked his location. It's just because of some reasons that I can't find him temporarily, which is why I want to ask you for help."

She explained: "The position pointed by the compass is close to the south bank of the small peak of Xuanshui Mountain. When I tracked down there last time, the compass showed that the target was within a hundred feet of me. After that, no matter which direction I went, it showed I am getting farther and farther away from the target. There is only one reason for this situation, the place where he is is hidden. So I carefully searched around and found these stones with special patterns."

It turned out to be the case.

Li Chuan thought for a moment

The remnant of Frost Leaf doesn't sound very strong, and an ordinary couple can tie him up. If this is true, then the mission is not very dangerous.

Compared to that couple, he has two useful monsters and a direct disciple of Qin Tianjian.

Daoist Wen didn't lie to him.

Just sneak up the mountain, find someone, and then sneak down quietly.

The key point is whether he can solve the mystery of the texture on the stone.

"If the pattern has nothing to do with the scriptures, I can't find his hiding place?" Li Chuan asked.

The clouds parted, and the moonlight once again illuminated Zhu Qingyun's face.She said: "Then you can only force it..."

In the middle of speaking, she stood up suddenly and said, "Someone is here, let's go."

Li Chuan and Gong Er Pang San quickly packed up their things.

I saw blue and white lightning flying out from behind Zhu Qingyun, protecting a group of people, passing through the Feiquan and entering the stone chamber.

Not a drop of water got on it.

Then, Li Chuan heard footsteps.

With the moonlight reflected on the stone wall, he looked out, and an old monkey led a young monkey into the rift.

The old monkey took off the wine bag on his waist, took a sip of the wine, and let out a high, "It's really unlucky, just put down the hammer, and let it go out to patrol, it's more troublesome than it is."

I thought I could hug a thigh, but I couldn't eat a meal of fresh human meat for a month, and the wine was not allowed to drink, so I might as well go back to my hometown and be happy! "

The little monkey stretched its neck and poked it out.

Seeing his appearance, the old monkey was very disgusted, "No one will come here, let's take a rest and go back after we have time."

The little monkey still hesitated, "Then why don't you go to the stone dragon demon?"

"What are you looking for, what are you looking for," the old monkey sneered, "Stone Dragon Demon is a great monster with a thousand years of cultivation, we are about to meet, there is not enough for him to fill his stomach.

Come, come, drink, drink, don't think about things you shouldn't think about. "

"Yes, yes," the little monkey echoed and complained, "This stone dragon monster is really real. At dusk, the king ordered us to prepare a banquet. I don't know why this stone dragon monster angered the king."

The old monkey knew something inside, and said: "Do you remember, didn't the mine collapsed for a while ago? I heard that a treasure came out, and the stone dragon demon came for that treasure."

"What baby?" The little monkey's eyes lit up when he heard the word baby.

The sound of wind blowing water, it seems that there are other sounds hidden inside.

The old monkey poked his head left and right to make sure that no one was behind him, then lowered his body, "It's a pearl, a night pearl, found by a crab monster who can't transform itself, and it immediately transformed into a human form, without any flaws. "

"Really?" the little monkey asked in surprise.

"Of course it's true," the old monkey smacked his lips, "it's a pity that I ran too early that day. If I stayed a little longer, I would be photographed by that night pearl. Maybe my monkey tail will be able to take it in later gone."

"The crab has turned into a human form, can't it go directly to the king's side to do business?" The little monkey looked envious.

The old monkey said: "That's right. Manager Hu promoted him to be the team leader on the spot. It's a pity that he didn't have that blessing. It might be his first transformation. He didn't know how to walk and fell down the mountain at night. You Think about it, crabs have eight legs, they are for crawling, but they suddenly become two legs, and if they want to walk, how do they get there all at once? It’s still a mountain road.”

The little monkey nodded in agreement, "Yes, yes, crabs just crawl."
