Gu Qingqiao looked at the jade tablet silently, without any emotion in his eyes.

After a while, he put the jade tablet back on the small table and pushed it towards Zhang Jinjin.

Zhang Jinjin took back the jade tablet, put it in his arms, looked at the ancient Qingqiao for a while without saying a word, closed his eyes and said nothing, and fell asleep after a while.

The carriage staggered, and finally arrived at Nanping Town the next morning, stopping in front of a big house.

An old servant walked out of the house. He was quite tall, dressed in green and white beard, and greeted him with a smile. He said courteously, "The young master is finally back. It's been a long time since I left for half a year. It's really hard work. I want to come back and have a good rest." .” Seeing Zhang Jinjin coming out of the carriage, he immediately reached out to help him.

Zhang Jinjin smiled and said, "Uncle Chen, I'm so old, yet you still treat me like a child."

The maroon color in Uncle Chen's eyes flashed away, and he said with a smile, "How old is it? In our place, anyone under the age of one hundred is considered a child."

Zhang Jinjin waved his hand and jumped off the carriage.Behind him, Gu Qingqiao lifted the curtain of the car.Uncle Chen was originally smiling, but now he caught a glimpse of a person sitting in the carriage, squinted his eyes, and was shocked.He pulled Zhang Jinjin behind him, pulled out a big knife from his waist, and swept forward like a wisp of smoke.In an instant, the sharp edge of the knife stuck to Gu Qingqiao's throat.

The cold blade carried bursts of murderous aura, and the devilish aura surged towards Gu Qingqiao's fragile meridians.The spiritual circle on his chest nearly collapsed, and the spiritual power in his body began to riot again.

A trace of blood spilled from the corner of Gu Qingqiao's mouth, but he stared at the old man without fear, his eyes as sharp as a knife.

"Uncle Chen, stop!" Zhang Jinjin hastily stepped forward to pull the old man, "He is not Asabo!"

"No?" The old man's eagle-like eyes fixed on Gu Qingqiao's face.

Due to burns and exhaustion of spiritual energy, Gu Qingqiao didn't dare to let the disguise gu remain in his skin, and soon after getting on the carriage, he used medicine to remove the gu insect, and restored his deep and handsome facial features.

"Really not! Uncle Chen, come down!" Zhang Jinjin shouted beside the car.

Uncle Chen glanced at Gu Qingqiao's face again, relaxed his hand, and put the saber back into its sheath.He muttered in his mouth: "It does look younger, but it really looks like it."

Zhang Jinjin, dumbfounded, pulled the old man out of the car, and came to help Gu Qingqiao again.

The blade went away, but the spiritual power in his body was still rushing, Gu Qingqiao couldn't help coughing.Zhang Jinjin quickly put his palm on his chest, poured in a small amount of magic energy, guided out the magic energy that the old man invaded just now, and explained in his mouth: "You don't have magic crystals now, and the magic energy is too domineering for you. You can only export the excess magic energy, you have to straighten out the meridians yourself."

Gu Qingqiao nodded and meditated cross-legged on the spot. It took more than half an hour before his complexion slowly recovered.

At this time, Uncle Chen had ordered the servants in the house to move all the things into the room, and arranged for the kitchen to serve breakfast. Seeing that Qingqiao had recovered, he cupped his hands and said, "The old man was blind just now, and he regarded the young master as an enemy. I hope the young master will forgive me."

Gu Qingqiao twitched the corners of his mouth, forced a smile and said: "It's okay. Since it's a mistake, it's good to explain it clearly now." After speaking, he got up and got out of the carriage.Uncle Chen immediately stepped forward and helped him down.

The old man probably felt guilty, and when he helped Gu Qingqiao enter the house, he was still rambling: "It's not been easy for Ah Ru for so many years, I have no other wishes for such a poor old man, I just want him to be safe .”

"Ah Ru?" Gu Qingqiao asked doubtfully.

"Oh, it's Jin Jin." Uncle Chen explained, "I'm used to calling him by his nickname. But to be honest, although the old man and I are old and dim-sighted, you and that kid Asabo really look alike, with a smile on your face. Injury, I immediately admitted my mistake."

"Okay, Uncle Chen," Zhang Jinjin greeted him and persuaded him, "We all know that you didn't do it on purpose."

After sitting down and having some porridge and side dishes, Zhang Jinjin called a subordinate and asked, "When will Mu Lin arrive?"

The young man took out a jade slip and handed it to Zhang Jinjin.A cold voice came from the jade slip: "The things have been received, and they should arrive tomorrow evening. If there is something wrong, we can talk about it in person."

Yu Jian received the news last night, that is to say, Mu Lin will reply that night.Zhang Jinjin nodded in satisfaction, and put the jade slip into his sleeve pocket.

Uncle Chen cleaned up the room for the two of them.Sleeping in the carriage was not safe, Gu Qingqiao couldn't hold it anymore, so he went back to his room and fell asleep.

It was already noon when he woke up, Uncle Chen was chatting with his servants outside, when he saw Qingqiao open the door, he asked someone to come in with the washing things.After watching Qingqiao finished washing, he asked someone to set up a meal again.

"Ah Ru has something to go out, let you stay at home." Chen Bo said with a smile.

Looking at the kind face of the old butler, it was hard to imagine that he was still holding a knife around his neck in the morning.Gu Qingqiao lifted the jug on the table and said with a smile, "Come to have a drink too, old man?"

"That's a good thing!" He seemed to be an alcoholic, so Uncle Chen was not polite, and sat down solemnly, and took a sip of the wine. "This is Ah Ru's treasured 'Fengming'. You are very popular in front of him."

Gu Qingqiao poured wine for himself, clinked glasses with Uncle Chen, and then said slowly: "Uncle Chen, who did you think I was this morning?"

As soon as this was mentioned, Uncle Chen started staring at Gu Qingqiao's face again. "To be honest, you and Asab really look alike. Although you are younger, your body and facial features are very similar."

"Who is Asab?"

"You...don't know? This..." Uncle Chen was a little puzzled.

"Why, can't you say it?" Gu Qingqiao asked.

"That's not true, Ah Ru said, you can tell you anything you ask." Uncle Chen drank another cup, squinted his eyes and said, "Asabo, hehe, he is the current master of the Demon Realm."

According to Chen Bo's performance in the morning, Gu Qingqiao thought he would bring out some thieves and treacherous ministers.I didn't expect the old man to give such a explosive answer as soon as he said it.

"Lord of the Demon Realm? Then your reaction today...you are quite courageous!" Gu Qingqiao teased.

"Hmph! Whoever he is, he's not the brat I watched grow up!" Uncle Chen stared, "Let me tell you, that kid has been a bad guy since he was a child, and he really messed up the wind and rain when he grew up. Fifty years ago, the battle for the position of Demon Lord made the Demon Realm restless, and now it is starting to toss again..."

Gu Qingqiao, who looked very similar to "Not a good thing", was a little speechless, but secretly vigilant in his heart, "What do you mean by tossing?"

"I don't know about this, Ah Ru has been refusing to tell me. Alas, this child always takes care of things by himself." Chen Bo blushed and complained, "Look at him, he is a good demon royal family, even if he can't inherit the demon kingdom." The position of the king, you can be an idle prince over there, and no one dares to say no to eating, drinking and having fun all your life. But he insists on coming to this human world, running around all day long, what is the plan? What?..."

Uncle Chen was a little drunk, he talked a lot more with his tongue out, and then wandered back to his room to rest.

Gu Qingqiao ate a couple of casual bites, and his energy gradually weakened again. He half-lyed on the bed, and took out an azure hairband from his sleeve pocket, which he accidentally brought out when he passed out drunk in Xiyun's room that night. .

Gu Qingqiao gently stroked the soft headband with his hands, thinking of the owner's long black and soft hair, he felt a little hot in his heart, and wanted to tie the headband on his soft hair with his own hands.

Mu Xiyun put on her hairband and checked her belongings again.He doesn't care much about what to bring into the mountains, anyway, he can walk on horseback and hike on flat ground, and he can use his sword when encountering deep streams and rapids.Qin Le is also a Jindan cultivator. Although he is a little timid, he has no problem protecting himself in case of trouble.So Mu Xiyun only checked the two matching swords and brought some dry food, and went out with Qin Le.

A young young man was waiting at the entrance of the village with a horse. When he saw them, he hurried forward and said, "Two immortals, the younger one is Zhou Yi. The village chief said that you are going into the mountains, so let me show you a way."

Mu Xiyun nodded, waited for him to get on the horse, rode the horse alongside him, and asked, "Do you know the mountain where the purple heart grass is picked?"

Zhou Yi replied respectfully: "Yes. The village chief goes into the mountain to pick purple heart grass every year, and I have followed him twice." After finishing speaking, he pointed to the mountain range in front of him: "The front is the Dragon Claw Mountain. There are five branches in total, just like the five fingers of a big hand, and the purple heart grass is born on the second finger on the right."

Mu Xiyun nodded, and asked again: "Do you know where my Senior Brother Su went to collect medicine?"

Zhou Yi replied: "Su Xianjun entered the mountain that day, and I pointed the way. Originally, I wanted to go with him, but after entering the mountain that day, we discovered that there have been changes in the mountain."

"Change?" Mu Xiyun frowned, "Is there something wrong?"

"That's not true." Zhou Yi replied: "In the past, when the village chief and I went to collect herbs, we would go up the mountain along a narrow path. There was a steep slope on the road. Regardless of the old village chief's age, he is the best in our village Yes. I would never be able to go up that steep slope by myself, but he was able to climb it easily, and then put a rope to pull me up. That day Su Xianjun and I walked to that steep slope, but found that at some point, the steep slope The rocks above collapsed and blocked the road. Su Xianjun was afraid that the road would be more difficult to walk inside, so he asked me to go back to the village first."

If it's just an ordinary mountain road that collapses, even if it's difficult to walk, it won't be able to trap a monk like Su Yanjun.Mu Xiyun and Qin Le exchanged glances, but they were still puzzled.

After half a day of horseback riding, we arrived at the foot of the mountain. Sure enough, there was only one trail leading to the mountain.Mu Xiyun and Qin Le got off their horses and followed Zhou Yi to the mountains.Longzhao Mountain is full of aura, and the flowers, plants and trees are exceptionally luxuriant.Walking on the road, from time to time, you can find rare fairy flowers and spirit grasses, which are thriving.

The path was winding, and after walking for two hours, Zhou Yi stopped.There is a bald spot on the steep cliff ahead, and the mountain road is in a mess, with large and small stones, broken branches and trunks lying across the road, making it difficult for ordinary people to walk.

"It's here!" Zhou Yi panted. "I'll send Su Xianjun here."

Mu Xiyun nodded, looked back at Qin Le, and said to Zhou Yi: "As senior brother said, you can't get in here. If there are still rocks inside, it may be difficult to get out. You'd better go back first. "

But Zhou Yi shook his head and said: "Last time I let Su Xianjun go in alone, and I haven't seen him out until now. I feel guilty all the time. Although it won't help much, I will feel better if I stay here."

Seeing that he was so persistent, the two of them stopped trying to dissuade them, and only checked the dry food and weapons that Zhou Yi was carrying.Qin Le rummaged through his pockets, took out a few charms, handed them to him and said: "This is my self-made Vajra Talisman. If you encounter a wild beast, you can burn it to repel the enemy. If there are too many enemies, use it Draw a circle on the ground with paper dust. As long as you stand in the circle and don’t come out, the wild beasts can’t do anything to you.”

Zhou Yi was overjoyed. Even though he took the initiative to stay, he was still a little scared. With this talisman, even if he encountered evil people and beasts, he could at least be safe.So he took it quickly and thanked him repeatedly.

The two bid farewell to Zhou Yi.Mu Xiyun raised her breath and lightened her body, tapped a few times on the rocks, and then quickly swept towards the mountain.Although Qin Le looks honest, he has practiced solidly since he was a child, and his feet are pretty good. Following Mu Xiyun tossing and turning, he disappeared in a short while.
