The pet career of Shaoqing of Dali Temple

Chapter 268 Heading to the Poisonous Insect Valley, I met four monks on the road

Ru Xiaonan followed Qing Moyan and left the capital that day.

Different from their usual trips, this time Qing Moyan didn't prepare a carriage.

Xuanyu and the others were all riding horses, and even Shi Datian rode a mule and followed in the middle of the team.

Fortunately, it was spring and the weather was getting warmer, otherwise, even riding a horse would not be able to withstand the wind blowing in front of us.

"Time is short, we can't prepare the carriage." Qing Moyan explained to her in a low voice.

Ru Xiaonan was stunned, Qing Moyan always had the final say on how to arrange the trip, she never expected him to explain it to herself.

"Are we sneaking out here?" Ru Xiaonan asked.

"Not all." Qing Moyan wrapped her cloak tightly, and covered Ru Xiaonan in her arms, "I'm out of the city to handle the case, and I'm going to the poisonous insect valley by the way, time is tight, this time I can't let others snatch it Come ahead of us."

"Are you looking for your mother?" Ru Xiaonan asked cautiously.

In fact, after listening to what sister Run'er from Qianlefang said last time, she felt that Qing Moyan's mother should no longer be alive.

Even if she really didn't die after giving birth to Qing Moyan, the Chongniang who won't even leave a corpse, she can't live for so long.

Because according to sister Run'er, the lifespan of Chongniang is not long.

"No." Qing Moyan looked very calm, "I just want to understand how the Chongniang controls the Gu worms in their bodies."

Although Ru Xiaonan taught him some yin and yang techniques, he felt that those were not suitable for him.

"Since Chongniang can control the Gu worms in her body, I think I can do it too." Qing Moyan said firmly.

Ru Xiaonan looked at him but was a little worried.

Longing for power is not a bad thing, but if it is overdone or too persistent, it will lead to falling into the devil's way, in other words, you will become an unscrupulous person.

That's what the old magic stick told her, and she wondered if she should tell Qing Moyan this sentence as well.

The crowd rode their horses and galloped at an extremely fast speed. It took only six days to reach a remote post station.

"If you go further in, you will enter the mountain, and there is only one way to the Poisonous Insect Valley." The subordinate Xuanyu sent out to explore the road came back and reported.

Qing Moyan looked up at the sky.

The mountains in the distance are like a giant lying on the ground, and the dense trees on the mountains seem to absorb all the sunlight that falls.

"What did you see?" Qing Moyan lowered her head and asked the villain in her arms.

Ru Xiaonan glanced at the mountains, then retracted her head into the cloak again, "It's the same as what you feel."

Qing Moyan frowned slightly.

His yin and yang eyes are indeed not as sharp as Ru Xiaonan's, but he can still feel the coldness emanating from this mountain.

Looking up, I saw a cloud drifting from the east.

It looked like it was going to rain.

"My lord, shall we wait until tomorrow?" Xuanyu came over and asked.

All the way fast, they have no problem, but Ru Xiaonan is a bit overwhelmed.

There is no carriage for her to rest, so she has to ride on the horse all day, with Qing Moyan.

Another person who couldn't bear it was Shi Datian. In the past, he could always hear his chattering in the team, but this time he also withered, which made everyone not used to it.

"Can't wait anymore." Qing Moyan sighed silently, he didn't dare to stop, because he wasn't sure if there was anyone following them behind.

If, like last time, someone snatched her first...

He didn't dare to think about it anymore, and immediately urged his horse to rush down the path.

Seeing this, Xuanyu and the others had no choice but to follow closely.

Everyone walked at the foot of the mountain, and after walking for half a day, they saw a small road between the two mountains ahead, and after passing this was the Poisonous Insect Valley.

Suddenly, the sound of Buddha's bell came from another path.

The crowd followed the sound.

I saw four monks in coir raincoats and hemp shoes coming from the small path.

The four monks were also taken aback when they saw them, and the first monk stepped forward and clasped his hands together, reciting the Dharma name: "Amitabha...where are you going?"

Qing Moyan didn't speak, Xuanyu urged her to come forward immediately and said: "We are going to the back mountain, what advice do you masters have?"

The leading monk carefully looked at Qing Moyan and the people around him, "The poor monk advises all benefactors, this road is dangerous, so don't go."

Qing Mo's eyes dimmed, and suddenly Ru Xiaonan in her arms poked his chest with her small hand.

He looked down and saw Ru Xiaonan raised her face and said three words to him silently, "Shi Datian."

Qing Moyan glanced back at Shi Datian.

Just now, Shi Datian, who was listless like a plague chicken, instantly revived on the spot with full blood.

He jumped off the mule, approached the four monks with a smile on his face, "Oh, we just happened to be lost. Where are the four masters going? This place is not in the front of the village. Take a break, let me make hot tea for you?"

The four monks wanted to refuse, but Shi Datian's dog skin plaster was not so easy to get rid of, and soon everyone got off their horses and rested on the spot.

Xuanyu ordered people to light the pyre, and Shi Datian graciously burned a jar of hot water and made tea for the four monks.

Ru Xiaonan sat far away, because she was transformed from a fragrant fox, so she was particularly wary of monks and Taoist priests.

Xuanyu brought hot water over, Ru Xiaonan held the cup and listened to Shi Datian talking with the four monks.

"So the four masters are going to the Poisonous Insect Valley." Shi Datian graciously refilled the water for the four.

Judging by the outfits of the four people, they should have walked for a long time on foot. At this time, they can drink hot tea, and they are obviously very comfortable.

Although Qing Moyan looked a little cold before, but when Shi Datian entertained them, he didn't see any objection, so the four monks relaxed their mood.

When Qing Moyan went to greet them again, they were not as vigilant as when they first met.

"Passing the mountain road ahead is the Poisonous Insect Valley, you can't go any further," the monk warned.

"Why can't you go again?" Shi Datian asked curiously.

"The miasma in the Poisonous Insect Valley is rampant, and many people in several villages in the mountains have died because of it. The poor monk is going to resurrect the dead, and by the way, he will do a ritual to get rid of the miasma in the valley."

When Ru Xiaonan heard this from a distance, she curled her lips quietly.

It is reasonable to talk about rebirth for the dead, if it is said to get rid of the miasma...

Hmph, it's not that she looks down on people, as far as the cultivation of these four people is concerned, even if they go, they will be brought down as well.

Everyone was resting when suddenly a gust of mountain wind blew in, mixed with a faint fishy smell.

Xuanyu looked into the distance warily.

At this time, a dead man ran over and whispered a few words to Xuan Yu.

Xuanyu's complexion changed drastically, and she hurried to Qing Moyan's side, and said in a low voice: "My lord, the wind direction has changed, and there is a thick fog on the mountain road ahead, covering the sky and the sun, should we avoid it?"
