Chapter 24 How can the crab walk?
Li Chuan decided to change the topic. He asked: "How did the Frost Leaf disciple we are looking for reveal his whereabouts?"
"It was a couple who reported it to the government. What a coincidence. Both of these couple were born in a family of Zhongmingdingshi. There was an elder in the family who devoted himself to seeking Taoism when he was young. He visited all the mountains and famous rivers, but could never get in. So he read books and made elixirs by himself at home, except for regular Apart from blowing up the house, nothing happened." Zhu Qingyun's tone was a bit hasty, and it was obvious that she wanted to skip the previous topic.
“As a result, more than 20 years ago, the Shuangye Sect recruited many disciples, and the elder became a member of the Shuangye Sect, so that’s fine,” Zhu Qingyun sighed, “That’s fine, that’s fine. This elder lamented that he had been seeking immortality for many years, but it was not until he was over sixty years old that he opened the door to immortality. So for the sake of his descendants, he donated all his family wealth and obtained a pillar of plum blossoms. "
"He gathered the entire family's descendants together to taste incense." Zhu Qingyun's voice lowered again, "After the incident, a prosperous family suddenly disappeared."
"Then how did this couple escape?" Li Chuan was a little curious.
Zhu Qingyun said: "They were delayed on the road and came back a step late. When they got home, the incense had been burned out and they could only smell the last bit of fragrance. It is precisely because of this that they were able to discover The identity of the Frost Leaf disciple."
She sighed, "They are the only two people left in the whole family. Their titles are gone and their money is gone. The two of them are together. Next, he sold his remaining belongings, left the capital, and went to make a living elsewhere. Ten years ago, the man was infected with a serious disease. He invited many doctors to see him, but to no avail. Finally, he consulted a miracle doctor, who gave them a pill. , after taking it, he really got better.”
“The miracle doctor said that this pill can only treat the symptoms. To cure the root cause, it needs to be mixed with another medicine, so the couple took all the money they had. They came out and asked the miracle doctor to prepare the medicine. A few days later, the medicine was ready. When they were boiling it, the couple found that the smell of the medicine was very similar to the smell of burning plums.
They felt something was wrong. They made a plan and tied him up at night while he was sleeping. However, the miracle doctor was cunning and found a way to escape on the way to the prison, so the matter was reported to Qintian Prison. The dregs used to boil the medicine were also delivered. After comparison, some of the ingredients in the dregs were indeed the same as plum yellow.”
"Then I responded to the teacher's order to investigate the matter. After tracing along the way, I found that the Shuangye disciple had fled to Xuanshui Mountain." Zhu Qingyun finally finished explaining the cause and effect.
Li Chuan asked: "Xuanshui Mountain is very big. If he sincerely wants to hide, he probably won't be able to find it in a day or two."
After Zhu Qingyun heard this, he took out He picked up a palm-sized black jade compass, with the pointer pointing diagonally forward.
She said: "I have locked his location. It's just that for some reasons, I can't find him for the time being. This is why I want to ask for your help."
She explained: "Compass The pointed location is close to the south bank of the small peak of Xuanshui Mountain. The last time I tracked it down, the compass showed that the target was within a hundred feet of me. After that, no matter which direction I walked, it showed that I was getting closer and closer to the target. There was only one reason for this. The place where he was was hidden, so I looked around carefully and found these stones with special textures.”
So that's it.
Li Chuan thought for a moment
It sounds like the Frost Leaf relic has no strength. An ordinary couple can tie him up. If this is true, then this mission will be dangerous. It's really not high.
Compared to that couple, he has two useful monsters and a direct disciple of Qin Tian Jian Zheng.
Daozhang Wen did not lie to him.
Just sneak up the mountain, find the person, and then sneak down again.
The key point is whether he can solve the mystery of the lines on the stones.
"What if the pattern has nothing to do with the pattern sutra, and I can't find his hiding place?" Li Chuan asked.
The clouds dispersed and the moonlight once again illuminated Zhu Qingyun's face. She said: "Then we have to do it forcefully..."
Halfway through her words, she suddenly stood up and said: "Someone is coming, let's go." Li Chuan and Gong Ersan quickly packed up. Got something.
I saw blue and white electric light flying out from behind Zhu Qingyun, protecting the group of people, passing through the Feiquan and entering the stone chamber.
Not a drop of water touched it.
Then Li Chuan heard footsteps.
Looking out through the moonlight reflecting on the stone wall, he saw an old monkey and a young monkey walking into the rift valley.
The old monkey took off the wine bag from his waist, took a sip of the wine, and exclaimed, "It's really unlucky. As soon as I put down the hammer, I let him go out to patrol, and it caused more trouble."
I thought I would hug him. Thighs, as a result, I can’t eat one meal of fresh human meat for a month, and I’m not allowed to drink wine. I might as well go back to my hometown and be happy! "
The little monkey stretched out his neck and poked his head out.
The old monkey looked at his appearance and was very disgusted. "No one will come here. Let's take a break and fool around." Just go back after the time has passed. "
The little monkey was still a little hesitant, "Then you won't go to the stone dragon demon? ”
"What are you looking for? What are you looking for?" the old monkey sneered. "The stone dragon demon is a great demon with thousands of years of cultivation. If we are going to meet him, there won't be enough for him to fill his stomach.
Come on, come on. , drink and drink, don’t think about things you shouldn’t think about.”
“Yes, yes,” the little monkey echoed and complained, “This stone dragon demon is real, the king is still there at dusk. He ordered us to prepare a banquet. I wonder why this stone dragon demon angered the king."
The old monkey knew something inside and said, "Don't you remember that a section of the mine collapsed a while ago? I heard that a treasure was born, and the stone dragon demon came here for that treasure.”
“What treasure?” The little monkey’s eyes lit up when he heard the word treasure.
The wind blew and the water sounded, and there seemed to be other sounds hidden inside.
The old monkey poked his head around to make sure no one was behind him, and lowered his body, "It's a bead, a luminous pearl. It was found by a crab demon who couldn't transform yet. It turned into a human form in an instant. , There is no flaw at all."
"Really?" Xiaohou said in surprise.
“Of course it’s true,” the old monkey smacked his lips, “It’s a pity that I ran away too early that day. If I had stayed a moment longer and been illuminated by that night pearl, maybe when I transformed in the future, I would look like this The monkey's tail can be retracted."
"Then the crab demon can go directly to the king to do things?" The little monkey was filled with envy.
The old monkey said: "Isn't that right? Manager Tiger promoted him to the team leader on the spot. It's a pity that he didn't have that blessing. It was probably the first time he transformed and he didn't know how to walk. He fell down the mountain at night. You Think about it, a crab has eight legs for crawling, but suddenly it became If you have two legs, you can’t walk on a mountain road at once.”
The little monkey nodded in agreement, “Yes, that’s right, crabs just crawl.”
