Brother is really tough

Chapter 147 21a. The Drinking Fox

The Miluo River flows through the Luochen Mountains, where countless sects and tribes are bred, especially in the area where the Lingyuan Sect is located. In the north of the river, there are three major sects: Lingyuan, Lingbi, and Lingchan. In the south of the river, there are Lingqu and Lingyan.

Nourished by the aura of heaven and earth, this is also the core area of ​​the entire Luochen Mountain Range, where the five major sects stand side by side, and the heroes compete for beauty.

And a lot of people means a lot of right and wrong. For a hundred years, the five major sects have been in constant friction.

Especially the two sects of 'Yuan' and 'Yu' which are only separated by a river.

Because there is only one river across, the Lingyuan Sect in Jiangbei and the Lingyuan Sect in Jiangnan are the most fierce in the competition for resources.
It is said that 30 years ago there was another battle of exterminating the sect, and later the upstream Yunlei Dao Jizong came forward to resolve the conflict.

The five major sects of Fian, Wei, Qu, Yuan, and Chan operate independently, but in the final analysis they still have the same origin, and they are all affiliated sects of the upstream Yunlei Dao Ji Sect.

That is to say, the sect that Bai Yiduo belongs to is just an insignificant small sect in the entire world of Rongcheng. Counting upstream, there are far larger and more profound sects.

……

On the south bank of the Miluo River, a pair of master and apprentice meditate facing the river.

The master is an old man with white beard, sitting cross-legged on the top of the river cliff, his expression is indifferent when he closes his eyes, and his long beard flutters.

Sitting next to the old man was a slightly fat boy with fat hanging from his chin, but his features were pretty.

Although the young man is also meditating, but his mind has wandered too far, and he doesn't know what amusing thing he thought of. The corners of his mouth tilted slightly, and he smiled unknowingly, with saliva overflowing from the corners of his lips.

"Express talent~"

The old man suddenly reminded him, his long eyebrows were flowing, giving people a majesty that could not be offended.

The fat boy named Shucai swayed his body, peeked at the master timidly, moved his buttocks, and made a new trick.

After a long time, the old man slowly opened his eyes, took a look at the churning river, and rose into the air with a bang:

"Shucai, go back to the sect for the teacher, you continue to practice, don't be lazy~"

"The apprentice respectfully obeys the master's order!"

The apprentice was ecstatic in his heart and nodded quickly.

After the old man turned into a long rainbow and flew away, the fat boy breathed a sigh of relief, looked around, took out a book from his pocket, and rubbed his palms expectantly.

"I haven't finished reading the book that Senior Brother Sun lent me! I finally took the opportunity!"

And just as he licked his lips and turned the pages of the book, Jingtao slapped the bank of the river and pushed a young man in white robe who was clinging to the floating board.

The boy climbed up the cliff, held his throat and coughed up a puddle of river water, panting on his back.

With saliva hanging from his mouth, he was panting weakly, and his expression was particularly miserable!
"Uh... why is the Miluo River so wide! I almost couldn't swim and drowned in it."

Bai Yiduo looked back resentfully, and threw away the floating board in her hand.

Fortunately, he has water-type spiritual veins, even if he is an ordinary disciple, he has already drowned.

But when he raised his eyes again, Bai Yiduo was a little dumbfounded:
"What is this place?...Damn it! It was washed down by the current!"

Bai Yiduo wiped the water on her face indiscriminately, tiptoed to look upstream, but there was no trace of the monkey or the goddess.

Just as he was worrying, he suddenly saw a young man on the river cliff who was buried in a book, and he didn't know what book he was reading, so he let out a strange laugh.

"Fellow Daoist, may I ask if you have seen a group of monkeys?"

The fat boy subconsciously tucked up the book, looked around with his face raised,
Seeing that it wasn't Master, he just let out a bad breath.

"Monkey? Didn't see it!"

The fat man waved his hand, took out the book, and continued to read without paying attention.

"You really didn't see it?" Bai Yiduo asked.

"Hey, if you didn't see it, you didn't see it. There's nothing real or fake. Don't bother me."

The fat boy glanced at Bai Yiduo impatiently, then suddenly stared again, dumbfounded.

"You... the Taoist robe on your body..."

The fat boy saw that there was a banyan tree embroidered on Bai Yiduo's chest. The banyan tree was tall and straight, and it was in the shape of the ancestor of the banyan tree.

"Me? Taoist robe? What's wrong?"

Bai Yiduo unknowingly spread out her sleeves, looked left and right, with question marks all over her face.

But the fat boy seemed to have seen a ghost, threw away the book with a wow, turned around and ran away: "The enemy attacked..., the Lingyuan sect enemy attacked...,"

Seeing such a big reaction from the fat boy, Bai Yiduo was stunned,
It was only then that I remembered that Jiangnan was the territory of the Lingwan Sect, and the two families had always been at odds with each other, so it was a lack of consideration to come here so recklessly!

Bai Yiduo slapped his forehead fiercely, thinking it was impossible to swim back, he simply gritted his teeth, took off his Taoist robe, and quickly ran upstream.

There are two things he has to do now: one is to find the monkey who took the goddess away; the other is to hide his tracks so that the people of the Linglong Sect cannot find out.

These two things seem simple, but it is very difficult to do them.

The mountains and forests in the south of the Yangtze River are luxuriant and dense, and monkeys jumped into the pond with fish here. It is too difficult to find them.

And once Lingyanzong knew about his sneaking in, he would definitely search hard, and it would be a matter of time before he was caught.

At that time, I'm afraid they will be killed without waiting for Bai Yiduo's explanation!
Therefore, Bai Yiduo, who had a sense of urgency, became more rigorous and careful in dealing with things, carefully considering every step.

At this time, looking at the familiar banyan tree in front of him and the Siguo Cliff on the other side of the river where Lingyuanzong used to confine him, Bai Yiduo's eyes narrowed slightly.

"The monkey is here to snatch the goddess away, look for it, there must be a clue."

Bai Yiduo walked around the big banyan tree twice, but couldn't find even a monkey hair.

While worrying, suddenly a crack opened at the root of the big banyan tree,
The gap was getting bigger and bigger, and when it was big enough for his face, a furry thing hugged Bai Yiduo's leg.

Bai Yiduo was startled, leaned over to look, and saw a red-haired fox.

The fox hugged the wine jar with one paw, and Bai Yiduo's lap with the other paw, rubbed its small head on his leg, swayed to and fro, drunk.

"Drinking fox?"

Bai Yiduo's eyes widened,

At this moment, the fox raised his face unsteadily,
One person and one fox, with four eyes facing each other.

After being stunned for a few seconds, the red-haired fox blinked his eyes, and suddenly his body froze, and the wine jar fell to the ground.

With a crackling sound, the red-haired fox seemed to wake up a little bit, turned around suddenly, and quickly got into the tree hole.

The tree hole was closed in an instant, and the fox didn't even have time to put its tail back, so that a large part of it was still stuck outside the tree hole.

Dazed for a few seconds, Bai Yiduo suddenly realized that the fox might be the only witness. He leaned over and grabbed its tail stuck outside the tree hole, and yanked it...

"Come out, I have something to ask you."

The fox howled in pain, but the alcohol was wrong, and he forgot to put his tail back when he ran away, so he was caught.

Seeing that the fox ignored him, Bai Yiduo tugged even harder:
"Can't you talk? Rabbits can talk, you are smarter than rabbits!"

After a long time, seeing the fox still only barking, Bai Yiduo frowned.

"Little fox, come out and tell me where all the monkeys live. May I buy you a drink?"

The little fox suddenly stopped barking, a crack opened in the tree hole, and a small furry paw stretched out.

The little paw pointed to the south, turned again, and the sharp claw tip popped out, drawing a bottle shape on the bark.

"Bottle Mountain?"

There are many mountains and forests in the south of the Yangtze River. In the hinterland of a dense forest, there is a mountain shaped like a bottle, which is called Pingshan.

"You mean, the monkey took the goddess to Pingshan?"

Bai Yiduo scratched her chin, not daring to trust the fox easily, but she didn't have any other clues.

"That's all, I'm going to find the monkey now, and I'll buy you a drink later."

Bai Yiduo patted the fox's loose tail, turned around and galloped towards Pingshan.

After leaving for a long time, a red-haired fox looked around and saw no one, so it jumped out.

The little fox held up the tail of the bulging umbrella, stood on tiptoe of furry toes, and looked in the direction of Pingshan Mountain.

"Hi~!" He burped.
