Ao Bai is no better than his elder brother Ao Li. Even if he doesn't use fairy arts, he still has many crooked methods to get around. So he and Ji Xiang hid in a fat cloud and studied the map head to head for a long time.

A big red circle was marked crookedly on the map, indicating that it was where Ao Li was, and a few hills were drawn around it in wild cursive, and a few curved lines were painted on the side of the most remote hill.

"This is the West Sea." Ao Bai said, pointing at the curved bar. "We're going to the imperial city."

Jixiang sat on the Hulu and looked down. There was a stretch of mountains under his feet. It was the end of summer, and those mountains were lush green under the sun.

"Go down first, go down first." Ji Xiang said. "It's hot up there."

Although they were hiding in the clouds, the heat of the sun pervasively roasted the piglets to burn them all over.

Ao Bai took the map. "If we go down, we can't fly casually. We can't attract the attention of mortals."

……

Two children dressed in silk and satin walked in the wild mountains and mountains. Although they were eye-catching, they were really not noticeable-because there was no one around.

Compared with the bustling bazaar, Jixiang and Aobai are more able to deal with this kind of mountain road with towering ancient trees and weeds growing wildly, and ordinary beasts can't hurt them.Ji Xiang took off a large wild plantain leaf and put it on his head. The sunlight filtered through the green leaves and became cool.

Ao Bai also broke off a plantain leaf as an umbrella to shade the sun, and when the thick stem and leaf were broken off, there was a crisp 'click', and juice oozes from the cut.

Neither of them had the experience of traveling on foot, and the overly sketchy map on the ground was useless, so they walked along a path stepped by wild animals or hunters and woodcutters in the mountains.The grass on the side of the road rustled occasionally, and sometimes brown rabbits jumped out of the grass and swaggered past them.

The wild fruit is not edible at this time, but there are already many exquisite and small fruits hanging on the branches, and many beautiful birds are flying back and forth among the low branches.

However, no matter how good the scenery in the mountains is, it is only charming when you are in a good mood.After walking for a while, the two pampered children felt so hot that their short legs couldn't move.

"I'm not leaving." Jixiang snorted.

Ao Bai was too tired. "There's no one here." It's impossible to find someone to rest for a while.

They didn't think that even if there were woodcutters and hunters living in this barren mountain, if two children with unusual costumes appeared out of nowhere, they would be regarded as spirits in the mountain.

"Who said there is no one." Jixiang covered his forehead with his hands and looked forward: "What is that?"

Ao Bai saw that the roof of a thatched hut was faintly exposed not far ahead.

"Someone!" Ao Bai cheered up. "We have brought money, we can ask for water!"

Thinking that there might be cool mountain spring water or cured bacon from the farm, Ao Baijixiang regained his strength and stood up again to walk forward.

But the strange thing is, no matter how much they stared at the roof and walked forward, the target was always separated from them by a short distance - they could see it, but they couldn't get through it.

"We've been walking for a long time." Ao Bai looked back, and the big banyan tree where they stopped to rest just now was too far away.

"Could the house also walk?" Ji Xiang was also puzzled.The thatched hut was clearly in front, and he could even see the smoke rising from behind the hut.

The birds in the forest chirped, as if laughing at their wasted effort.

Ao Bai thought for a while, bent down to pick up a stone, and blew on it. "go."

Ao Baiyang threw the stone onto the thatched roof in front.

He didn't use a lot of strength, but the stone that he blew on shot towards the thatched hut like an arrow that left the string.

With a "plop", the stone fell to the ground, and the hut disappeared—there was a burst of sharp laughter, and several white-tailed monkeys quickly jumped out of the grass and onto the tree.

Ao Bai let out an "ah". "That's the monkey spirit playing tricks on us!"

The animals in the old forest are a bit intelligent, and after they cultivate a little Taoism, they like to use illusions to trick people who enter the mountains in the mountains. A few monkeys have their eyes on them at some point and have been playing tricks on them.Fortunately, it is daytime and there is no miasma in the mountains, otherwise I don't know where I would be led by them.

"What?" Ji Xiang was angry. "We were bullied by monkeys?"

Seeing that they couldn't climb trees, the monkeys became even more unscrupulous. They sat on the tall tree branches, screamed and danced.There are no tigers in the mountains, and monkeys are called kings.There are no ferocious beasts in this mountain, and these monkeys have some auras. All the hunters and woodcutters who come into the mountain occasionally have been teased by them. This time it is the turn of Ao Bai and Jixiang to catch up.Although Ao Bai found out later, the monkeys achieved their prank goals, and they all happily made faces at them from the tree.

Seeing how arrogant the monkeys were, Ao Bai was also angry, and he flicked his hands twice, and a wind whip whipped to the branch where the monkeys were sitting, and the branch snapped.

The monkeys were all startled, and when the wind whip swept by, they all jumped up to higher branches with chirps, and ran away.

Ji Xiang and Ao Bai immediately started to follow.

There was no one around, and Ao Bai was not polite, he secretly chanted a wind formula, and suddenly the wind was blowing under his feet, pulling Ji Xiang across the tops of the weeds.

A few monkeys squeaked and chirped as they shuttled among the tall trees, but they didn't notice that Ao Bai, who was driving the wind, was approaching them silently.

"Squeak!" The monkeys suddenly changed their voices and stopped jumping.

Ao Bai also stopped, and found that the tree where the monkeys were surrounded by a strange fragrance, but the movements of the monkeys became a little restless.

Jixiang's eyes widened, and he saw a small white spot on the middle of the trunk, like a bird, with its tail pouted and its head buried in a tree hole.

As soon as the bird heard the monkey's movement, it raised its head vigilantly, and the monkeys had already rushed towards it.

Before the monkey's paw touched the bird, Ao Bai made his move—the monkeys already knew the power of the wind whip, and quickly backed away unwillingly.

"It looks like a pigeon." Ao Bai looked up. "Why are there pigeons in the mountains?"

The white pigeon seemed to know that Ao Bai had helped it just now, cooed twice at Ao Bai, and flew away.

"What's in that hole? Those monkeys are so angry." Jixiang was more interested in this.

"Let's go up and have a look." Ao Bai said.

The trunk was bored with a hole in the middle, and the fragrance they smelled just now became stronger as they approached the tree hole.

The hole is small, but a monkey's paw and a dove's head can fit through it.

Ao Bai looked at Jixiang's fleshy hand riding on Hulu, thought for a while, and reached into the hole by himself.

"Is it water...?" Ao Bai pulled out his hand, and his fingers were stained with a little liquid.He leaned his face against the tree trunk and looked into the hole, and found some rotten fruit inside. "It's wine! The monkeys are brewing wine in tree holes!"

Jixiang also leaned forward: "Those monkeys are so angry, they must be good things."

Now that the weather is hot, the fresh fruits stored by the monkeys are squeezed layer by layer, and after rotten, the wine is fermented, clear and mellow, clear and attractive.But the monkeys have always been very stingy, and the place where the wine is brewed has always been very secretive.If it hadn't been for accidentally seeing the white dove stealing the wine, even if Ao Baijixiang smelled the strange fragrance, he might not be able to find the wine in the tree hole.

Ao Bai asked Jixiang to sit on a branch beside him, took Hulu and waited, while he rolled a big leaf into a bucket and carefully scooped out the wine in the hole.

Ji Xiang shook his head and snored. "I don't know if Hulu can hold things..."

"Other gourds can be loaded, but Hulu can't?" Ao Bai blinked.

The grunt on Little Pig's hand immediately shrunk and shook.

"Snoring?" Ji Xiang looked and found that Bi Gourd's mouth was open.

It seems that the gourd is also not exciting.

Ao Bai smiled and poured the wine from the leaves into Hulu.

In fact, Ao Bai and Ji Xiang didn't drink alcohol, but they felt that they should take a sigh of relief after being teased by those monkeys.

Just now the pigeon just took two sips of wine secretly, and those monkeys were so angry, so they took all the wine away, and those monkeys must be pissed off.Based on this vengeful mentality, Ao Bai and Jixiang decided to empty out the tree hole in a tacit understanding!

Hulu doesn't look big, but his capacity is astonishing. Ao Bai's hands were sore from scooping it up, and he moved almost all the wine in the tree hole, leaving only a bunch of rotten fruits in the hole.

Ji Xiang shook his head and grinned happily when he heard the sound of water swaying in the gourd's stomach.

Ao Bai was about to bring auspiciousness down the tree, but when he saw the monkeys jumping out from nowhere, Ao Bai was startled, and later they took the wine and the monkeys were going to take revenge.Unexpectedly, those monkeys didn't even look at them, and quickly crawled deeper into the forest.

Jixiang looked at the panicked backs of the monkeys, and was about to laugh at them, but Ao Bai pulled his sleeves to signal him to be quiet.

The birdsong also stopped.

The sound of metal and stone clashing intermittently came, mixed with the rustling of vegetation being blown by the wind, which was a bit inaudible.

Ao Bai frowned.This place is almost a deep mountain, and there is only one possibility to hear this kind of fighting.

Their position was not far from the main road.

"Auspicious!" Ao Bai pulled Jixiang down the tree, unable to hide his excitement: "We don't have to go up the mountain road anymore!"

The two children followed the sound of swords and swords, and Ao Bai frowned every time he heard a muffled groan or scream.

Ao Bai's idea was correct, following the sound, the vegetation became sparser and sparser.

"The one fighting was a bandit?" Jixiang turned his head and asked Ao Bai, his eyes sparkling.

There are a lot of idle books in Jiumeng's study room, many of which are about the heroines and butterflies in the martial arts world. After a little guessing, Jixiang thinks that those movements are probably made by the legendary bandits!

Bandits!With a full beard and a sword with nine rings, he steals from the rich and helps the poor!

Well, it doesn't have to be robbing the rich and giving to the poor...but there must be a majestic sword, eating meat and drinking in big bowls!

Jixiang's blood boiled inexplicably.
