Minghua Qiushi

Chapter 7 Grass

After the beginning of spring, the two set off for Baicao Mountain, and Su Mu, who had disappeared for a while in the winter, also went with them.Baicao Mountain is located in the southeast region, nearly a thousand miles away from Qingming Mountain.Wangqiu Yujian brought Yuhua and a snake with him, so his flight was relatively slow, he stopped and stopped during the period, and it took more than half a day to reach the foot of the mountain.Baicao Mountain is a stretch of mountains with a wide range. When Wang Qiu was near the main peak, he felt the influence of evil spirits and could not continue to use his sword. The three had no choice but to walk into the mountain.

The more he walked into the mountains, the more surprised Wang Qiu was. He had heard his master mention that Baicao Mountain is one of the important settlements of the Yaoling clan. Although the Yaoling clan are monsters, they are good at cultivation and using spiritual energy. The land is also a good place full of aura and beautiful mountains and rivers.But the place in front of me can't be described as beautiful, as far as I can see, there are either dead trees or swamps, filled with miasma and evil spirits, even the endless hell is nothing more than that.Wangqiu dare not imagine that Yuhua's hometown is such a ghostly place. They say that one side of the water and soil support the other side of people. Such a place is almost full of ghosts and snakes. No wonder Yuhua said before that this trip is dangerous.Wang Qiu couldn't help becoming alert, not daring to relax.

As if guessing what Wangqiu was thinking, Yuhua said: "Brother looks quite surprised. Baicao Mountain used to be a good place with luxuriant trees and hundreds of grasses as its name suggests. It's just that after the war more than 100 years ago, here It’s just that monsters come and go, and it gradually became like this. I haven’t been here for more than 100 years, and I didn’t expect it to be worse than I imagined. If I knew it was like this, I shouldn’t let my brother take risks.”

Wang Qiu said: "You said you came here to fetch something important, how could I let you come alone. Do you know where that thing is?"

Su Mu said: "Back to Immortal Master, Lord Yuhua sent me to investigate three months ago, and I have found out that what Lord Yuhua is looking for should be in the north of the main peak, because this area is affected by evil spirits for hundreds of miles. It can only be reached by climbing over the main peak on foot.”

Wang Qiu said: "Oh, no wonder I haven't seen you for so long. I thought you were hibernating, but you were on business." I don't know if it was an illusion, but Wang Qiu felt that Su Mu was very afraid of Yuhua, as if he even respected himself. stand up.

The three of them walked through a swamp, during which Su Mu was exploring the way ahead. Fortunately, the snake was very light, so the wayfinding played a big role.But Yuhua's white clothes were stained with mud, and he was a bit embarrassed. Such a person should be spotless, Wang Qiu gave him a distressed look.

Sensing his gaze, Yuhua hurriedly said, "Brother, don't worry, I'm fine."

It was evening after passing through the swamp, and the three of them came to a forest. More than half of the trees in the forest were dead, and the bare trunks looked like monsters with claws and claws against the backdrop of the twilight. The whole forest was gloomy and terrifying.After walking for a while, Wangqiu didn't feel right, the forest was too quiet, eerily quiet, as if... there was an ambush.As soon as he thought of this, he felt a strange noise in the dead trees, and Wang Qiu subconsciously stood in front of Yuhua.

I saw more than a dozen monsters suddenly sprang out from the dead wood. This monster looked like a giant lizard, but it had several strange heads. Some had three heads, and some had four or five. of.The same monster has different heads, some look like birds and beasts, some look like human faces, and some look like something.

Yuhua said: "Brother, be careful, these are corpse-eating lizards. They can grow the heads of the corpses they eat, and they can regenerate after being cut off. They are extremely difficult to deal with. Moreover, they are covered with corpse poison, so close combat is not good for us."

Wang Qiu took a closer look, and found that these things were covered with malignant sores, which was extremely disgusting, so he hurriedly pulled Yuhua and jumped onto a tree.Wang Qiu took out the Nebula Fan and waved it to the ground, several monsters were thrown several feet away by the Hurricane Fan.

Yuhua exclaimed in shock: "Xingyun Fan!"

"Do you recognize this fan?"

Before he could say more, dozens more came up, the number was extremely large and the stream continued, Wang Qiuxin said that there is no end to it.As a result, a group of black things flew in from a distance. When I got closer, I saw a group of crows, but their eyes were blood red and very vicious.Wangqiu waved his fan and sent out waves of wind knives, every time he swung the wind knives, he cut down a group of crows, but there were too many crows, Wang Qiu was unsteady, so he fell down with Yuhua. They were about to fall into the pile of corpse-eating lizards, but the two of them were suddenly wrapped in a big ball made of tree vines, and they were not hurt by those disgusting things.It turned out that Yuhua played the bamboo rhyme and used spiritual power to cast the spell.

This time it was Wangqiu's turn to be surprised, but he didn't bother to marvel at the ingenuity of this technique. This sepak takraw ball is shaped like a cuju ball and is very strong. If so, countless corpse-eating lizards will not be able to sustain it sooner or later. live.

"What should I do?" Wang Qiu asked.

"Brother, don't worry, we will rush out in a while."

Wang Qiu didn't know what Yuhua was going to do, but he felt inexplicably at ease hearing what he said.I saw Yuhua blowing the bamboo rhyme again, a huge flower rose from the ground, and lifted the two of them into the air. At this moment, Wangqiu waved the fan and turned around for a circle. There were continuous explosions in the air and in the air, and more than half of the corpses and crows were killed or injured in the explosions.Yuhua continued to play the bamboo rhyme, only to see countless vines growing on the ground, entangled the remaining corpse-eating lizards like spirit snakes.Seeing a road ahead, Yuhua played again, and another row of giant flowers grew on the ground, forming a long staircase.Wang Qiu hugged Yuhua horizontally, stepped on the flowers one after another and jumped forward quickly, leaving the corpse-eating lizard far behind.

Wang Qiu didn't dare to be careless, hugged Yuhua and ran wildly for a while, didn't stop to rest for a while until he heard something chasing him.After tossing and tossing for a long time, the sky was completely dark, and both of them were covered in blood and embarrassed.

Wang Qiu looked around Yu Huazhou and asked, "Are you okay? Are you injured?"

Yuhua smiled slightly and said, "I'm fine, brother, don't worry. Oh, the blood from those things splashed on me. It's all my fault. Although I know this is dangerous, I never thought it would be so dangerous. I shouldn't have let my brother come with me."

Wang Qiu said: "Hey, I will definitely come with you. Night is the time when evil things appear most, so it's not suitable to stay here for a long time, Su Mu, do you know where you can spend the night near here?"

Su Mu had been hiding in Wang Qiu's sleeve just now, when he heard the words, he poked his head out and said, "Report to Immortal Master, there is a cave about a dozen miles ahead, I checked it last time, there are no evil spirits in the cave."

"Okay, then lead the way."

The three of them didn't dare to delay for a moment, they rushed to the cave that Su Mu had mentioned in less than half an hour.Wang Qiu inspected the cave carefully, and after confirming that there was no danger, he placed a barrier around the entrance of the cave. After thinking about it, he was still uneasy, and another fire was lit, presumably monsters and ghosts are afraid of fire.After finishing it, she turned her head and saw that Yuhua also hid away from the fire, only then remembered that the tree spirit was of the wood type and was also afraid of fire, so he hurriedly extinguished the fire again.

The cave was pitch black and unable to see anything, Wang Qiu fumbled and took out a set of clothes from Qiankun sleeves and handed it to Yuhua.

"Hey, put it on." He knew that Yuhua liked to be clean, so he specially prepared it for Yuhua before he left, and he didn't pay much attention to it, just wipe it casually.

"Thank you brother, brother is very careful." Yuhua laughed and took off her clothes after speaking.

The cave was pitch black, Wang Qiu still turned around, not knowing why the man was trying to avoid it.

"By the way, Yuhua, your technique is really mysterious, I have never seen such a strange technique." Wang Qiu said.

"Brother, I'm overwhelmed, I don't dare to take it as Xuanmiao, it's just a magic technique used by the demon spirit clan to summon exotic flowers and herbs. By the way, brother, the magic weapon you held just now was the nebula fan?" Yuhua said.

"Exactly. How do you recognize this fan?"

"Oh, I just...have heard about it. How did brother get this fan?" Yuhua said.

"It was given to me by my master." Wang Qiu said.

Seeing his pensive look, Wang Qiu thought it was Yuhua who was tired, and said: "Go to sleep for a while, I'll watch over here."

Hearing this, Su Mu hurriedly said: "Master Immortal and Lord Yuhua, let's rest, just watch over here."

"Let's switch guards." After saying that, he drove the two of them to rest.In the middle of the night, Su Mu got up again to urge him, and then he lay down and fell into a deep sleep.All was well that night.

When I opened my eyes in the morning, Yuhua and Su Mu had already woken up.Wang Qiu took out two steamed buns from his sleeve, handed one to Yuhua, broke off half of it and gave it to Su Mu, and said, "You must not be able to sleep well in this barren mountain, so fill your stomach first, and wait until you are on the way back." I'll take you to the biggest restaurant in Qingcheng to eat delicious food."

Yuhua said: "My brother took good care of me, and I didn't feel unwell."

Su Mu said: "Master Immortal, Lord Yuhua, let's go as soon as possible, follow the ditch we saw yesterday all the way to the north, it is estimated that we will arrive there in less than half a day."

Wang Qiu said: "Yes, let's go quickly." After saying that, the three got up and walked out of the cave.

It was early morning, but the atmosphere in the mountains was not at all as refreshing as in the morning. It was still filled with mist and miasma.The three of them hurried along the ditch pointed by Su Mu, fearing that they would be besieged by evil things after a long delay, so they didn't dare to delay for a moment.This river has long since dried up and there is no water, but looking at the scene on the shore, it must have been a beautiful place with a gurgling stream.There were also evil attacks during the rush, but because it was daytime, there was no attack on the scale of yesterday, so it was not too difficult to deal with.It was not until after noon that the three arrived at the destination that Su Mu had mentioned.

At the end of the river is a wide pit, which must have once been a clear pool, but now there is no drop of water.On the edge of the pit is a cliff, and there are still traces of water erosion on the cliff, which should have been a waterfall.The beautiful scenery in the past has now turned into such a ghost, Wang Qiu didn't care about sighing, just listened to Su Mu say: "Master Immortal, Lord Yuhua, should be at the bottom of this pool, let's go down."

The three of them walked down the steep slope, and when they reached the bottom of the pool, there was a piece of mud, which was very difficult.Su Mu was about to go to explore the road, when suddenly the ground shook, Wang Qiu grabbed Yuhua's hand tightly, and the two barely stood still.I saw a huge monster slowly drilled out of the deepest part of the pool, it was more than ten feet high.The monster's body is a bit like a huge tree trunk, thicker than Yuhua's trunk, but the trunk is very soft, it looks greasy and twists and turns very disgusting. There are countless tentacle-like things growing on the top of the "trunk", and they are dancing violently with the huge roar of humming, which is shocking.

The two hurriedly sacrificed their magical artifacts, and Wang Qiu asked, "What kind of monster is this? Yuhua, do you know?"

Yuhua said: "I don't know either, I have never seen or heard of it in ancient books."

"Be careful, Yuhua!" Suddenly a tentacle quickly hit Yuhua, Wang Qiu pushed Yuhua away, but he was lifted up by the tentacle and lifted into the air.After engulfing the person, a big bloody mouth grew from the top of the tentacle, with two rows of fangs and mucus flowing horizontally, it was terribly disgusting.

Wang Qiu waved his fan, and the wind knife cut off the tentacles wrapping around him, and at the moment of falling, he swung it several times rapidly, and the monster's tentacles were chopped off several times.

Yuhua rushed to Wangqiu's side, and before he could take a breath, the monster's tentacles sprouted again, and the severed tentacles forked into two, more than before, and there were more than a dozen tentacles in the blink of an eye Attacked towards the two of them.Yuhua quickly played the bamboo rhyme and summoned a rattan ball to protect the two.It seems that this tentacle cannot be slashed hard, and this monster must be killed at the bottom of the pool. The two looked at each other, and Yuhua used the same method to deal with the corpse lizard, but this time it summoned the lotus leaf, the lotus leaf While supporting the two, it bends freely, avoiding the attack of the tentacles.At the same time, Wang Qiu used the technique of wind binding, and saw countless curly winds entangle each tentacles separately, and there was a stalemate for a while.

Yuhua took this opportunity to blow the bamboo rhyme again, and saw more than a dozen green bamboos growing rapidly on the ground, Yuhua leaped up and stood on the bamboo end, even fighting such a disgusting monster without losing elegance.Yuhua grabbed a handful of bamboo leaves and threw them in the direction of the monster's "trunk". At the same time, thousands of bamboo leaves turned into sharp arrows and flew towards the monster's body.The monster was stabbed by a sharp arrow made of bamboo leaves and suffered pain. With a fierce force, it broke away from Wang Qiu's wind binding technique, and the tentacles at the top danced wildly, attacking Yuhua in unison.Wang Qiu hurriedly fanned out a gust of wind, gently engulfing Yuhua and pulling him behind him to protect him, narrowly dodging the attack of the tentacle, the tentacle hit the rocky bottom by the pool, the ground instantly shattered, and a burst of sand, rocks and smoke arose.Seeing that the tentacle kept attacking the two of them again, Yuhua hurriedly called out the takraw ball again to form a defense.

"It's not an option to fight like this. We have to find a way to find the weak point of this monster. Yuhua, you use lotus leaves to lift me up a little closer to the center of the top of the monster. I think the monster's tentacles are powerful. But the few tentacles in the center have not attacked but are defending, presumably there is his weakness. You lift me up and I will attack there." Wang Qiu said.

Hearing this, Yuhua controls Lianye to lift the two together and fly towards the place pointed by Wangqiu.

"Yuhua, what are you doing? It's too dangerous! I can go alone." Wang Qiu shouted.

"It's dangerous, how can I let my brother take the risk alone." Yuhua said.

The two looked at each other, smiled and stopped talking, concentrating on the challenge.Flying closer, a few tentacles were sure to protect the center, Wang Qiu danced wildly with his nebula fan, and the wind knife stormed towards the center like a torrential rain, Yuhua also threw a burst of bamboo arrows, the two attacked together, cooperated tacit agreement.After a while, those tentacles were beaten to pieces, and the center was also split.When the two looked together, the monster's abdomen was actually hollow, and the inside looked dark green, greasy like rotten algae.

Suddenly seeing something flashing at the bottom, Yuhua said: "The thing you are looking for is in its belly!"

Wang Qiu said: "Okay then, let's chop this ghost thing." After finishing speaking, he concentrated his energy and gathered [-]% of his spiritual power to slap towards the abdomen, forming a wind beam, like sword energy, threatening towards the monster The abdomen is split over.Just hearing a loud noise, the monster's abdomen was torn apart.The fallen tentacles quickly turned to ashes, really dead.

"Brother is amazing!" Yuhua laughed.

Wang Qiu felt complacent for a while, and said, "Quickly see where the thing you were looking for fell?"

There are two swords stuck in the mire, one is silver with jasper on the hilt, and the other is golden with sun patterns carved on the hilt.Yuhua walked over and slowly pulled out the silver sword, Wangqiu was stunned for a moment.

After fighting with the monster in Tanzhong for half a day, it was already night, and a bright moon hung high in the night sky.Under the silvery moonlight, Yuhua in front of her eyes slowly grew taller, her figure was slender, her face was still so handsome and gentle, but there were a few more edges and corners of a mature man, making her even more stunning.

Wang Qiu was so shocked that he couldn't speak, and it took him a long time to ask: "Are you... Yuhua?" Even his voice trembled.

"It's me, brother. Didn't brother want me to grow up?" Yuhua smiled softly, looking at Wangqiu with sparkling gentle eyes, as if she was the only one in this world.

The person in front of him was half a head taller than Wang Qiu, and looked about 20 years old. Wang Qiu smiled and said, "Yuhua, how old are you?"

"Hundreds of years old, I can't remember. What's the matter, brother?"

"Don't call me brother, I'm only sixteen, how dare you call me that now." Wang Qiu scratched his head.

Yuhua smiled and said, "Okay, I'll call it Wangqiu from now on."

Just as he was talking, he heard a rustle in the pile of monster wreckage next to him, Wang Qiu stretched out his fan and was about to blow it away, but Yuhua stopped him.The two walked over to check, only to see that it was a half-dead plant.The plant was no longer in human form, and a pair of eyes on the branches slowly opened to look at Yuhua.

"Your... Your Majesty? You are not dead?... It's too... good... I'm dead and... rest in peace..." After saying that, it turned into ashes.

Su Mu appeared out of nowhere, and said: "Mr. Yuhua, this is Andrographis, you have not forgotten, he is also a veteran." Su Mu checked and said: "It must be that he was swallowed by a monster. I lost my mind and turned into such a terrifying monster, alas."

Yuhua said: "Well, I haven't forgotten." There was a shining pearl in the pile of ashes, Yuhua picked it up and put it in his sleeve, it must have been transformed by the Andrographis paniculata.

Wang Qiu couldn't calm down for a long time in the shock, and said: "Yuhua, so you are the leader of the demon spirit clan."

Yuhua said: "It's not intentional to deceive, don't blame me for forgetting autumn." After saying that, he turned to get another sword.

Wang Qiu looked at his back, and felt that the back in front of him gradually merged with the one buried deep in his heart.

"Yuhua..."

"Well, what happened?"

"Did I know you in my previous life?"

Yuhua nodded, handed the golden sword to Wang Qiu and said, "Well, this is your sword."
