Chapter 147 Participation
Go all the way out of the city, cross the river, go around Wangjiang Cliff, and continue south.
It is already July, and the heat is steaming.
Mingyue wears a bamboo hat on her head and urges her horse to go fast. The horse underneath her is sweating like rain and panting.
She didn't pity Ma Li, just like she didn't pity Meng Yuan.
Meng Yuan could only follow closely. Although he felt sorry for the little red horse, he had no time to pity him.
Mingyue didn't pay much attention to her after talking to her twice, so Meng Yuan stopped asking.
After resting and resting, we finally saw Qishui Town after noon.
Mingyue led the horse into the town and came to a yard next to the medicine market.
A middle-aged man in a Confucian shirt came out to welcome him, bowed politely, and then asked the servant to take the reins.
"Excuse me, please get some fine ingredients to feed me." Meng Yuan took out the broken silver and told the servant.
There are several donkey carts in the courtyard with goods piled on them. Meng Yuan could clearly see that this middle-aged man should also be one of his own, borrowing the identity of a medicine dealer to station here.
Following the middle-aged man to the room, he asked Mingyue to sit down, and Meng Yuan followed suit.
The middle-aged man glanced at Meng Yuan and didn't say anything. He just cupped his hands and said, "Miss Mingyue, Taoist Master Ke has repeatedly warned you not to go into the mountain in person."
He was very sincere and said: "There are many of us, so this will happen, and the girl does not need to step into dangerous situations."
"I have made up my mind." Mingyue said calmly.
Seeing this, the middle-aged man sighed and stopped trying to persuade him. He just said: "Today is July 3rd, and there are still a few days before the Taoist meeting can be held again. It's better to wait for two days before going. Not even a single person serving in the mountain is here." No, the food is not convenient, there is no reason to go in and suffer.”
"Don't worry, I brought my servants." Mingyue said.
The middle-aged man looked at Meng Yuan.
So I'm a servant? So I shouldn’t be sitting? Meng Yuan opened his mouth, glanced at Ming Yue who was sitting above him, then stood up and stood behind Ming Yue with his sword pressed.
"Do you practice martial arts? Have you entered the seventh level?" the middle-aged man asked.
"Fortunately, I have entered the seventh level." Meng Yuan said.
"Are you from Songhe Prefecture? I haven't seen you in Beijing." The middle-aged man said.
From Beijing?
"I am the banner of Baihusuo. With the support of Miss Mingyue, we are where we are today!" Meng Yuan will never lose Mingyue's face.
Mingyue frowned slightly.
"A seventh-grade flag officer? Is the Songhe Prefecture Guard crazy?" The middle-aged man looked at Meng Yuan and then understood, "Are you from Zhang Guinian? That Meng Yuan and Meng Xiaoqi?"
"Exactly." Meng Yuan bowed his hands.
"My name is Xiang Qingshan." The middle-aged man returned the gift and asked, "What kind of divine power has Meng Xiaoqi cultivated?"
"Spring thunder blooms and the sky floats with light." Meng Yuan replied
"They are all learned by people who have just entered the seventh level, so it's not bad." Xiang Qingshan nodded slightly and said, "Do you know how to do it?"
"Swear to protect Miss Mingyue to the death!" Meng Yuan said.
"Very energetic!" Xiang Qingshan said with a smile on his face: "Do your work well, and when you are done, I will guarantee your promotion! The Demon Suppressing Division's divine power can also be passed on to you again!"
"Thank you, Mr. Xiang!" Meng Yuan thanked.
He nodded slightly to Qingshan, then looked at Mingyue, and said: "Girl, you might as well rest for a night and start again tomorrow morning. I have ordered people to prepare a clean yard. If we start tomorrow morning, we can arrive before evening, and we will avoid the hard work of traveling at night." ”
"No need. Let's leave now." Mingyue said in a cold voice.
Xiang Qingshan sighed and stopped trying to persuade him.
Seeing Mingyue walking out, Meng Yuan quickly followed.
Xiang Qingshan also hurriedly followed and grabbed Meng Yuan. Meng Yuan also wanted to chat with Xiang Qingshan so that he could get more news.
The two of them followed Mingyue and whispered.
"Mr. Xiang, how many people are there in our profession? If it's not convenient to say, just pretend I didn't ask." Meng Yuan said.
"There's nothing inconvenient to say." Xiang Qingshan kept walking and said, "This time, the commander of the Demon Suppression Department, Xiao Taotao, is in charge of this matter. He is also in the mountain. There are also three sixth-grade warriors and seven-grade warriors. Eleven, their positions are different, some will attend Taoist gatherings, and some will support others outside.”
Meng Yuan wrote it down and asked the person's name in detail about the sixth- and seventh-grade warriors.
Xiang Qingshan explained in detail, and then said seriously: "You don't need to worry about capturing the demon and the Buddha. You only need to remember that you have only one mission, which is to follow Miss Mingyue."
"I know." Meng Yuan didn't ask about Mingyue's identity, and the other party didn't mention it either.
"What pills did you bring with you on this trip?" Xiang Qingshan asked again.
Glancing at the bright moon in front of him, Meng Yuan whispered: "I only have two bottles of Huansheng Dan in my hand."
Meng Yuan was very poor, which he could only borrow from Huang Yousheng and Qiu Bulai.
"Huansheng Dan is a wonderful medicine for healing. It's enough for you." Xiang Qingshan smiled reassuringly and said, "Miss Mingyue has a cold temperament and doesn't like to talk. Please pay more attention to the chores on the road."
"Sir, you can ask me to kill people with a knife, but I'm not very good at serving people." In fact, Meng Yuan knew how to serve, and Nie Qingqing was very comfortable being served.
Xiang Qingshan took out two blue porcelain bottles from his sleeves, "This green bottle contains the Huiyuan Pill. You don't have much ability. After using it in Fuguangdongtian, take this pill again, and the jade liquid will be full again in three or four hours." . All for you.”
"Actually, I am a servant, so I can still serve people." Meng Yuan took the porcelain vase and said, "Although I have been fighting and killing now, I have not forgotten my original craftsmanship."
"That's good." Xiang Qingshan took out another small black bottle and whispered: "This is reserved for Miss Mingyue. If she is seriously injured, let her use it. But it shouldn't be needed this time."< br>
Meng Yuan immediately put it away, "I will serve Miss Mingyue well!"
Mingyue walked in front of her and didn't pay any attention. She didn't even make a single step and only held her sword a little tighter. But Xiang Qingshan was very satisfied. He put his arm around Meng Yuan's shoulder and said, "I know that Li Qianhu suppresses the people in your guard house, and you are not welcome either. But don't worry, it doesn't matter."< br>
"Thank you for giving me some advice, sir." Meng Yuan didn't care about the official position at all, and asked: "Sir, does he know who is coming from Lanruo Temple?"
"The person from Lanruo Temple is Zen Master Wuyuan, a sixth-grade warrior monk. He also brought two young ones, Xuanbei and Xuanjing. The former practices Buddhism and the latter is a warrior monk." Xiang Qingshan knows everything.
Three more came from Lanruo Temple, and together with Xuanzhen, there were four bald donkeys in total.
"But who else is there?" Meng Yuan just wanted to know more.
"You can't say for sure, the invitations are widely distributed, so you may not know who will go." Xiang Qingshan was very safe and warned: "Maybe people from the Western Buddhist countries will be there, so you should be more careful."
Meng Yuan nodded.
After talking for a while, Xiang Qingshan stopped after seeing Qishui Town.
Continuing to the south, after passing a few small villages, we entered the boundary of Funiu Mountain.
It's still sunny, but it's rare to find coolness in the mountains.
Check out the 16-9 book bar and see the correct version!
From time to time, you can meet herb collectors, and even see herb collectors doing business with spirits.
Both of them avoided it and only went all the way to the southwest.
Meng Yuan is a seventh-level martial artist, and Ming Yue has entered the sixth level. Although it is difficult to walk in the mountains, it is not a big problem for the two of them.
After going more than ten miles deep and climbing over six or seven mountains, it was already getting late.
"Climb two more mountains, about ten miles, and you'll reach the boundary of Calabash Mountain. Let's take a rest first and start again tomorrow morning?" Meng Yuan suggested when he saw a stream in front of him.
"That's fine." Mingyue responded.
Meng Yuan put the bamboo hat behind his back and leaned over to wash his face with water from the mountain stream.
The mountain stream is cool and refreshing.
Mingyue didn't sweat, but when she saw how comfortable Meng Yuan was after washing, she was moved, so she washed her face upstream of Meng Yuan and wiped it gently.
She is naturally fair, but also very good-looking. Although her temperament is cold, it fits the feeling of loneliness in the mountains.
The two talented people were brave and did not light a fire. They just sat down on the bluestone by the stream.
"Miss Mingyue, I'm here to keep watch. You have a good rest," Meng Yuan said.
Mingyue didn't reply, as if she had something on her mind.
It was early July, and there was a crescent moon in the sky. The mountains are densely covered with trees, insects and birds chirping, making it even more lonely.
"Miss Mingyue, what are our plans for tomorrow?" Meng Yuan had nothing to say.
Mingyue looked at the stream and said, "Act according to the opportunity."
Seeing that the person's voice was very cold, Meng Yuan didn't bother to put his hot face against his cold butt.
After a long time, Meng Yuan finally said: "Miss Mingyue, you have a rest, I will keep watch."
"Can't sleep." Mingyue shook her head slightly.
"The night is long and I have no intention of sleeping." Meng Yuan smiled, "I thought I was the only one who couldn't sleep, but it turns out that you, Miss Mingyue, can't sleep either."
The bright moon turned its head slightly and looked at the waning moon reflected in the stream. "Under the moon in the mountains, there are only two of you and me here. There is no need to use the word 'ye'."
"The night breeze is cool, the stars and the moon are shining brightly, and you and I are both idlers at this moment." Meng Yuan said with a smile: "There is no moon anywhere, and the moon does not shine on people, but there is no one like me."
< br>
Mingyue sat on the bluestone, with a long sword lying across her knees, holding her sword in one hand, and making random gestures with a short wooden stick in the other hand. She glanced at Meng Yuan, and there seemed to be a smile on her lips.
At dawn, the two of them washed their faces in the stream, ate something, and then moved forward again.
Within half an hour, they arrived at the boundary of Calabash Mountain.
This Calabash Mountain looks like a gourd, but it is not a small mountain pressing down on a large mountain. Instead, it looks like a lying gourd when viewed from above, with its upper belly in the north and its lower belly in the south.
After walking for a while, the two of them saw a path in the mountains, which must have been trampled by spirits.
Sure enough, not far away, I saw a little demon showing up, a gray rabbit and a gray donkey.
The two little monsters pointed at Meng Yuan and Mingyue and whispered to each other. Not only were they not afraid, they seemed to be judging them.
"Among the people who have come here these days, I think these two are the most handsome!" A rabbit spirit stood on the back of a gray donkey, "I just don't know if they are married yet?"
"Are you blind because of your red eyes? The thinner one is a woman! She is wearing men's clothes!" an old donkey said.
"You two are so polite!" Meng Yuan simply stopped and raised his hands towards the rabbit and donkey, "Is the Taoist meeting in front?"
"I won't tell you!" The gray rabbit grinned, showing his big teeth, and said expectantly: "Unless you sleep with me for one night!"
Meng Yuan held down the handle of the knife, and the donkey hurriedly said: "Just go forward!"
The two continued to move forward, and after walking for half a mile, two mice suddenly jumped out from behind a large stone.
These two mice were clearly high-end, about half a man tall, one with black skin and one with red skin, each holding a spear.
"I am the little inspector of Hulu Mountain! The Immortal Taoist Association welcomes guests!" The black-skinned rat spirit said carelessly: "Who are you? Where are you from? Where are you going?"
You are not yet the senior official of Xiangling, but he is the chief inspector of Lao Turtle Keng in Dutoushan!
Meng Yuan didn't reply. He just took out the rosary and waved it in front of Er Shu.
