In Ning’an County, apart from Shuixian Town, the closest villages to Niokui Mountain are the villages at the foot of the mountain.
This time Ji Yuan made a special trip to take Yin Qing and Hu Hu along the trail from the mountain village to Niokui Mountain.
After having a simple lunch with Ji Yuan, Yin Qing, who changed out of school clothes when she returned home, jumped up and down and followed Ji Yuan out of the city.
The red fox had been hiding in Ji Yuan’s arms before leaving the city, and was only released to follow him after leaving the city.
The straight-line distance from Ning’an County to the nearest foot of Niukui Mountain is about ten miles. Based on Yuan’s current journey, it would take less than a quarter of an hour even if he didn’t use all his strength. But with the addition of Fox and Yin Qing, it would only take about a quarter of an hour. The tour is over.
Children in this era, especially scholarly children like Yin Qing, did not have many opportunities to travel far away when they were children. Even though they were both in Ning’an County, the mountain village scenery was particularly charming for Yin Qing.
When a child plays, his physical strength is like a bottomless pit. No matter how tired he is, he immediately becomes energetic again after resting for a while. What’s more, Yin Qing’s physique is somewhat special.
One moment I exclaimed and laughed at the waterwheel, the next moment I jumped into the field to catch frogs and bugs to flatter the fox, and the next moment I wanted to jump into the river to take a bath like the children in the village, and from time to time I looked at the vastness. The fields and woods roared loudly.
Ji Yuan did not hesitate to prepare pastries and shortcakes, allowing Xiao Yinqing, who had a strict tutor, to enjoy what is called a carefree outing.
He had food, drink, and even a dog, well, a fox!
While playing and walking, about an hour and a half later, the two of them arrived at the foot of Niokui Mountain. They followed a mountain road trodden by mountaineers and climbed a small hill in about half an hour. mound.
When they got to the mountain, Ji Yuan didn’t let Yin Qing run around casually. If he was bitten by some poisonous insect or snake, he wouldn’t be able to explain to Yin Zhaoxian.
The wind in the mountains is cooler than at the bottom. Although the hills are not high, there are towering trees and strange rocks.
Ji Yuan looked at the red fox who had been excited for a long time, and pointed further into the forest.
“Let’s go. I hope you are not just a passerby in my life. See you again when we are destined!”
“And me, and me! Don’t forget me, little fox! Don’t forget me!!”
Yin Qing has been holding it back, and she was crying when she shouted this sentence.
“Yes, there is also Xiao Yinqing”
Ji Yuan smiled, with mixed feelings in his heart. Yin Qing’s look reminded him of the three tortoises, two rabbits and a parrot that his childhood self had raised to death in his previous life.
The red fox purred twice, walked away from Ji Yuan, jumped onto a stone a few times, then turned around and looked at the big one and the small one in front, with a humanized reluctance in his eyes.
Ji Yuan and Yin Qing just stood there and stared at the fox for a while, but they didn’t see the fox wanting to leave.
“Mr. Ji, the little fox doesn’t want to leave!!”
“Maybe you have to watch us leave.”
After finishing speaking, Ji Yuan didn’t explain any more and led Yin Qing, who turned around after a few steps, to turn around and go down the mountain.
After walking about a dozen steps, Ji Yuan looked back and saw that the red fox was still squatting on the strange rock watching them.
“Since we have met each other, Ji will give you another gift…”
Glancing at the clouds in the sky, Ji Yuan said to the red fox.
“Now that you have embarked on the path of spiritual practice, you are no longer an ignorant beast. You can lack anything, but you cannot lack a name. If you don’t dislike it, you will be called Hu Yun from now on!”
Hearing Ji Yuan’s words, Red Fox’s eyes lit up. For a moment, he ignored Ji Yuan’s previous instructions and kowtowed to Ji Yuan with his paws in front of Yin Qing!
“Ah!!! Mr. Ji, the little fox really knows how to worship people!!! Ahhhhhh!!!”
Yin Qing, who was still struggling with the strangeness in Mr. Ji’s previous words, was so surprised when he saw Red Fox paying homage to him that he screamed.
“Haha, let’s go home!”
Ji Yuan patted Xiao Yinqing’s back and led the child, whose emotions diluted his sadness, down the mountain.
Ji Yuan was also very happy, much happier than the smile he showed. Although he was still a little confused, he felt an electric shock in his arm just now, and the shadow of a chess piece flashed at his fingertips. And passed away.
. . .
Maybe she was exhausted, so Xiao Yinqing fell asleep on Ji Yuan’s back on the way back.
This directly led to the fact that when he returned, he was many times faster than when he came. Ji Yuan used his spiritual energy to move his body and rushed back to Ning’an County in a short time.
When Yin Qing was sent back to the Yin family, it was not even the Yin family’s meal.
Just after Ji Yuan returned home, he immediately went out again. He took off his regular green robe and changed into rough clothes with tight arms. He also used a tie to tie up his long and free-spirited hair. behind.
After quickly completing these preparations, Ji Yuan jumped directly using the elasticity of jujube branches and jumped out of Ju’an Pavilion. He then frequently used strength on the roof and left the city in an instant.
Ji Yuan only knows two simple blinding methods, one of which is to disappear and return, and the other is to blind the eyes with one leaf. The definition is relatively vague and general, but it also has scope of application.
Blindfolding Blinding is just a method of blocking or diverting other people’s sight so that they can’t see the truth. To put it bluntly, you can’t rely too much on it. At least Ji Yuan doesn’t think that he can really become invisible if he disappears, even in front of ordinary people. It would be more realistic to blind one’s eyes with a leaf.
The so-called “one leaf” is just a concept, which refers to small things. The method of “one leaf blinding one’s eyes” also refers to the fact that one cannot always see the whole picture or the truth because of the obstruction of a small thing.
Ji Yuan uses a few strands of his bangs to cast a spell, making those who look at his appearance unable to see clearly or seeing him as something else. Because bangs are real as “a leaf”, this spell is small but reliable. Much more.
Ji Yuan went out in a hurry at this moment because he saw a carriage driving on the official road from a distance on the way back. The two people riding horses beside the carriage were the well-dressed men he saw at the county government office at noon. The voice of the chatter was unmistakable, so it was self-evident who was in the car.
Of course Ji Yuan is not as angry as Xiaojiazi to the point where he wants to retaliate against others for talking behind their backs. It’s not that he says bad things. It’s mainly because he heard the conversation between the county magistrate and the fat man at noon and glanced at them subconsciously. Ji Yuan saw a faint aura on the collar of the slightly fat man.
That’s definitely not the fat man’s fault, it should be something extraordinary about him.
At this stage, Ji Yuan is in a state of hunger for things like cultivation, but his reason prevents him from asking for immortality everywhere. Now he will not let go of this opportunity. No matter what happens, he has to confirm it himself. Find out what it is and find out the source.
At noon, I clearly heard that the master and servant would not leave until the next day, but now they had already driven the carriage onto the official road.
The surrounding wind kept brushing against his face, and he was still restrained in the city. After leaving the city, Jiyuan’s body skills were fully activated, and he pursued with all his strength in the direction he had just remembered. About two moments passed, and in the distance, Finally, the carriage that was about to leave the boundary of Ning’an County appeared in his sight.
At this moment, the sky was gradually getting dark, and Ji Yuan fell silently far behind, a little worried about how to achieve his goal.
‘Catch up directly and have a friendly exchange? Are you still thinking of other ways, or just stop them from searching for things and then ask? Act a little more vicious? ’
Ji Yuan bared his teeth nervously and rehearsed his ferocious appearance. He thought he had some acting talent.
However, before Ji Yuan could think about it any further, something new happened. In the woods on the left side in front of the official road, several figures wearing dark linen clothes suddenly jumped out, waving weapons and attacking in the direction of the carriage. .
“Not good!! There is a strong man!!”
The two guards slapped their horses and jumped up to fight the attackers.
Facing the intruder, the well-dressed man in yellow clothes jumped off the horse, stepped on the horse, took advantage of the force, clenched his fists, and aimed hard at them. A robber.
“Die to me!!”
“When~~”
The powerful and heavy punch was actually blocked by the back of the opponent’s knife, and he drew the knife to separate the fist in an instant. The blade turned and slashed diagonally upward towards the opponent, and the sword seemed to be split into three.
“呲呲呲噗…”
Three knives cut open the guard’s fists, and one of them caused blood to surge from his shoulder.
“Yan Ling three times!!! You are Xiang Feng, the Thirteen Thieves of Yan Di!!”
The yellow-dressed guard jumped back to avoid the other two gangsters who were attacking together, and shouted in horror.
As far as I can see from the corner of my eye, my companions are now in a precarious situation with one to four, and they have been injured in several places.
There was a muffled sound of a hammer being hammered, and another guard received a heavy kick, hitting the body of the moving carriage with a “bang…” sound.
“Stop the car for me!!”
One of the gangsters shouted loudly.
“Ouch…”
The driver of the carriage quickly grabbed the reins and squatted there shivering, not daring to move. The people inside the carriage were too frightened to make a sound.
Xiang Feng didn’t even look at the two guards who looked like they were facing formidable enemies. He held a knife and looked at the carriage with a smile.
“Wei Wuwei, it is said that a piece of blue jade has been passed down from generation to generation in the Wei family, which can protect against evil spirits. You should take it with you, right?”
