1206 Monk's Mountain
To reach the highest peak, you have to pass through at least three relatively low mountain ranges, and I don't know what the reason is, the Wind Tiger and other divine beasts have slowed down, and their expressions seem to have become nervous.
Wang Baoyu and the three of them grabbed the neck of the divine beast tightly and walked up the slope of the mountain, and when they passed under a steep cliff, the Wind Tiger suddenly roared a few times upward.
Wang Baoyu looked up and found a very simple thatched hut, with faint black smoke rising.
Could it be that Yu Ji moved down from the top of the mountain and lived here? Well, this thatched hut is very similar to what he has lived in, but it saves the trouble of climbing, Wang Baoyu was overjoyed, and hurriedly asked Yufeng Tiger to turn his head, all the way up, and went towards the thatched hut.
When the three of them came to the thatched hut, a person came out of the house in a panic with thick black smoke, choking on the smoke and coughing, and holding a small handful of dry firewood in his hand, which was supposed to be cooking. Five short figures, yellow eyes, pale skin, a few shallow strands of yellow beard, the body trembled slightly, obviously no mana.
And when the man saw Wang Baoyu clearly, his face was full of horror, and his first reaction was to flee from here, but when he looked back at the divine beast under Wang Baoyu's crotch, he looked down at himself again, sighed, and simply didn't leave, sitting on the ground and rolling his eyes.
"Hu Zhao, why are you?" Wang Baoyu asked in surprise.
Hu Zhao snorted angrily and didn't speak, the Wind Tiger suddenly jumped forward, Hu Zhao screamed in fright, fell backwards, and rolled around on the ground again, very wolf.
"If you ask something, say it quickly, or let this tiger eat you!" Zhang Qiying threatened, and Yufeng Hu glanced at her dissatisfied, meaning that this tiger never eats people, so he can't talk nonsense. Zhang Qiying immediately changed her words, pointed at the mist bear and said, "Then let this bear eat you!" ”
The fog bear also snorted coldly, we have a high IQ, and we don't eat human flesh.
That, that, Zhang Qiying looked down at her White Flame Niu, but she was speechless for a while. However, the power of the divine beasts is here, how could Hu Zhao not know their power, his face was frustrated, and finally spoke: "Wang Baoyu, I didn't expect that I hid here, but I was still found by you, is this the will of heaven?" If you want to kill or chop, listen to it. ”
"Hey, old Hu, don't be sentimental. Do you still deserve such a luxurious lineup as ours? Wang Baoyu said disdainfully: "I didn't come to look for you, if I wanted to kill you, how could I let you leave Yiling City in the first place?" ”
"Aren't you here to kill me?" Hu Zhao was surprised.
"Of course not, I happened to meet it, it's not easy for you to practice for many years, it's a pity to die." Wang Baoyu said.
"Do you really think so?"
"Do I need to lie to you?"
"Thank you King Hanxing for not killing." Hu Zhao was full of gratitude and paid a big salute.
"Lao Hu, why did you come here?" Wang Baoyu asked with interest.
"Alas, I was seriously injured by a counterattack that day, and I didn't want to get involved in the war anymore, so I could only find a place to recuperate from my internal injuries. Jungnam Mountain is the Hermit's Mountain, and this is where I used to live, and I am temporarily settled here. Hu Zhao sighed and said without concealment.
"Hermit's Mountain? Are you saying there are other practitioners here? Wang Baoyu asked in surprise.
"At least a thousand people, many of whom are strong in mana, and before I was injured, I could still sit on an equal footing with them and learn from each other. Today, there is no mana, no one can afford it, so I can only survive here. Hu Zhao smiled miserably, looked back at the grass house that was still emitting black smoke, shook his head and laughed at himself: "But it's not as good as a waste, and I can't even cook a meal." ”
Hearing that it was quite miserable, Wang Baoyu was kind and said: "In this way, as long as you are not my enemy, you can also go to Yiling, where there is a divine doctor Hua Tuo, and other masters, who may help you recover from your injuries." ”
Hu Zhao burst into tears when he said this, and bowed again: "King Hanxing is really extraordinary, Hu Zhao thanked me first, and I can heal here." ”
"There's one more thing I have to explain to you. Your sworn brother Liu Liang was not killed by me, he wanted to get the "Taiping Technique", confuse the world, and took the initiative to challenge the Venerable Master of Purple Void, but was destroyed by the Venerable Master. Wang Baoyu said.
"Alas, I'm ashamed, I've been misunderstanding the king for a long time." Hu Zhao nodded, paused and asked, "I take the liberty of asking, what does the king want?" ”
"I want to go to the cloud viewing platform and ask a former friend to come down the mountain." Wang Baoyu pointed to the top of the mountain in the distance.
"King, listen to the next sentence, you can go alone, and you must not take the divine beasts there." Hu Zhao looked panicked.
"For Mao! If I climb such a high mountain, it will be too hard. Wang Baoyu was puzzled.
"The king doesn't know, in the few valleys ahead, there are places where several masters are located, and the breath of the divine beast will definitely be detected by it, and it will inevitably have a heart of snatching." Hu Zhaodao.
"But if I go by myself, I can't handle some unexpected situations." Wang Baoyu said cautiously.
"They dare not harm the lives of mortals."
Hearing Hu Zhao say this, Wang Baoyu hesitated, most of the monks would not take the initiative to provoke mortals, but these divine beasts were indeed excellent mounts, maybe they would really be tempted and greedy.
"Brother, you don't have to listen to him, you don't have to settle down." Fan Jinqiang said in a low voice.
"Baoyu, I measured what he thought in his heart, and there was nothing vain." Zhang Qiying whispered.
Wang Baoyu didn't speak, Zhang Qiying's level of probing people's minds has obviously improved by leaps and bounds, it turned out that it was necessary to get in touch, but now it seems that as long as you don't have to go too far, you can find out.
Just when Wang Baoyu was about to give up the three-headed divine beast and take Fan Jinqiang and Zhang Qiying to climb the cloud viewing platform on foot, the Wind Tiger suddenly let out a shocking tiger roar, and at the same time, the Misty Bear and the White Flame Ox also began to roar loudly.
The roar shook the mountains, and they must have heard it for a hundred miles, and Hu Zhao's small grass house shook and collapsed.
This is providence! Hu Zhao continued to sigh, and then said: "King, these divine beasts are obviously not convinced, so let's ride them, the nearby monks must have heard it, and they can't hide it." ”
"Okay, say goodbye and take care." Wang Baoyu wanted to keep some silver or something, but Hu Zhao didn't have a place to spend it.
"Alas, I can't live here anymore, so leave at once." Hu Zhao sighed helplessly.
"What's wrong?" Wang Baoyu hurriedly asked, "Is the house collapsing?" This is easy to do, I can cut some thicker trunks for you and build a stronger one. ”
"No, I'm just afraid that those monks will come to ask for the divine beast, I can't take it, maybe I will be harmed by it." Hu Zhao shook his head, turned around and followed a path, and disappeared into the jungle with staggering steps.
