Fast Travel: I Don't Want to Save the World

Chapter 12: Journey to Qingqiu ([-])

Ye Qing has been in a dream for more than 900 years, and she also traveled in the ancient time and space in a dream. For hundreds of years, the mountains and rivers she has stepped on and the monsters she has seen are still just the tip of the iceberg.

Rongsheng nodded slightly: "Okay."

Affected by Ye Qing, Rong Sheng straightened his back and clenched his small hands into fists.

The same as when they came in, after passing through the light ball, the two of them were in another world.

The surroundings were very quiet, Ye Qing quickly looked around and found no danger, her tense nerves relaxed.

Taking a closer look, she has been to this place before.

They are in a valley, and there are two big mountains on the left and right. The mountains are full of gorgeous flowers, bees gather honey, and colorful butterflies play. There is a small stream flowing slowly in the mountain. At the foot of the mountain, there are big trees of different shapes, some are like waiters carrying lanterns, some are like fairies with dancing sleeves and long songs, and some look like ordinary trees, but the branches bear golden fruits...Looking back again Ahead, between the two mountains facing due west, the sun is like a bright pearl held in the palm of the hand by the two mountains.

Towards the end of Shenshi, when the sun sets.

Afterglow is lazily lying on the side of the mountain, as if covered with a layer of golden feathers, everything looks so comfortable and calm, it is so beautiful like a picture scroll in ancient times.

The painting in front of me is called Chaoyang Valley.

Ye Qing put Rongsheng down and said, "Rongsheng, this place is called Chaoyang Valley."

Rong Sheng took a look, but asked, "Where is the temple?"

Ye Qing shook his head and took his hand: "There is no temple nearby, let's go ahead first, find a place to rest before dark, so as not to disturb the old man with a bad temper who lives in the river ahead."

"Is the old man with a bad temper a monster?"

"To be precise, he is a monster, but he always likes to call himself a god."

Hearing the word "monster", Rongsheng's little hand tightened and he looked at Ye Qing: "Does it look scary?"

Ye Qing thought for a while, then continued:

"The book says that he looks like a human, but has eight heads, and a body like a tiger, but has ten tails. His name is Tianwu." The book Ye Qing mentioned refers to "Shan Hai Jing", a A book that records myths and stories of monsters and gods, and includes information on geographical features such as mountains, rivers, and plants.

In later generations, no one knows who wrote "Shan Hai Jing".

Ye Qing boldly guessed that the person should have accidentally traveled through the gap between time and space, went to the ancient time and space, and stayed there for thousands of years, recording what he saw and heard; perhaps, the author himself came from the ancient time and space. After creating a new dimension, he accidentally left the ancient world.

Comparing the two guesses, Ye Qing tends to the former, because some descriptions of monsters in "Shan Hai Jing" do not match what she has seen and heard.

Taking Tian Wu as an example, the Tian Wu Ye Qing saw was not a monster with eight heads and ten tails.

In fact, a later version of the saying is quite similar, Tianwu, the prototype is a white tiger with black stripes, the tail is longer than the body, later called Yu.

The explanation of "Yu" in the ancient Chinese dictionary has this article, Yu-the upper tiger head, the lower is Wu, which refers to Tianwu.

When Ye Qing left Lingwei Mountain, according to the concentration of spiritual energy, Tian Wu should be more than 9000 years old. He often lives by the river, runs very fast, and is a strange old man who likes to yell loudly.What kind of monster is he himself? Ye Qing has never seen it, so she doesn't know, but she can be sure that he is definitely not human.

Even if the monster has turned into a human form, the aura of the monster is still different from that of a human.

Rongsheng was only four years old, and when he heard that Tian Wu had eight heads and ten tails, he couldn't help feeling a little apprehensive: "Then... shall we... go there?"

Seeing that Rongsheng was afraid, she specially explained to him the Tianwu she saw. Rongsheng was greatly relieved to learn that Wu didn't have eight heads and ten tails that day.

"Chaoyang Valley has only two roads, one is Black Tooth Country and the other is Qingqiu Country." Ye Qing pointed to his Buddhist beads: "Look at the Buddhist beads, the more we walk towards Qingqiu, the brighter it will be."

Buddha beads not only have the function of transmission, but also have the effect of positioning.

"Gently, are there monsters in the Black Tooth Country and Qingqiu Country you mentioned? Do the monsters there eat people?"

Frightened by the leopard-like bullocks in Futu Temple, Rong Sheng now fears and hates those monsters, especially the cruel monsters that can eat people.

Ye Qing knelt down, took his hand, and said softly:

"Normal monsters don't eat people, and there are also vegetarians like you."

The little guy opened his eyes wide: "Be a vegetarian!"

Ye Qing wanted to say about herself, but she didn't say anything, Rong Sheng thought she was a fairy, and the "fact" that she was a human was better than a squirrel.

Seeing that Ye Qing wasn't worried about Tian Wu at all, Rong Sheng became more courageous, and the two walked north, Ye Qing introduced him to the Black Tooth Kingdom.

"Black Tooth Country, as the name suggests, the teeth of the people there are all black!"

"Their black teeth are said to be natural, and some people say that they are stained with a kind of plant juice from childhood, and wipe a little every day until they are completely black. I went there once a long time ago, and they were kicked out because I was too white. ..."

"The skin of the people in the Black Tooth Country is also as black as coal. When it gets late, you have to light up a lantern to find someone." Ye Qing laughed while talking, and Rong Sheng couldn't help laughing. She continued: "Actually, they have three-dimensional facial features and a healthy body. , it’s just too dark.”

"They have a tradition that they take a bath once a year and wash their hands a little more often, but they don't wash their hands above the elbows. They think that if they take a bath too often, they will wash away the aura condensed in the world. So, they He believes that taking a bath is not to remove the dirt outside the body, but to wash away the filth in the soul, waiting to receive new aura. On May [-]th, the whole country of Black Tooth celebrates the bathing day."

"They eat rice, and their main meat is snakes. They feed goshawks and train them to catch spirit snakes for them."

"They still don't like to go out, they like to stay in the same place all their lives and live their own lives..."

Mentioning the country of black teeth, Ye Qing thought of "chisel teeth". I heard that it was a certain southern tribe. Their customs were very special. When they were about 15 years old, they would pull out all their teeth as a kind of coming-of-age ceremony.

Rong Sheng listened with great interest, and naturally forgot the previous anxiety.

"As for Qingqiu, you'll know when you go and have a look."

The two were about to approach the river, and suddenly there was a huge splash in the river!
Ye Qing and Rong Sheng were caught off guard and drowned. Rong Sheng's eyes were good. He pointed to the other side in surprise and said, "Qing Qing, that's a fox! One, two, three...a fox with nine tails!"

Ye Qing covered his mouth, hugged him and hid behind.

She used her strength to dry Rong Sheng's wet clothes, and glanced at the river.

The two shadows are entangled with each other, one will not let go, and the other will not escape.

"That's Qingqiu's Nine-Tailed Fox, let's go, don't disturb their sparring."

I don't know what kind of grievance they have, but Ye Qing is obviously not interested in knowing, she doesn't want to cause trouble.

The one who pursued the Nine-Tailed Fox was none other than Tian Wu, he had to be reasonable and not forgiving, even if he didn't, he was a reckless and unreasonable person.
