Chapter 11 Bright Lights (Part 1)

On the fourth day of the winter moon, the setting sun melts gold.

It was dusk, and the beautiful clouds were like fire, burning through half of the sky. Qin Xi stood by the cliff and looked around, and he seemed to be lost.

The boring mountains and rivers of the Great Wilderness seem to look the same, with rugged rocks and entangled with wildly growing trees. I really can't recognize whether I have walked through it before.

He simply waited to be where he was, just like the previous few times, waiting for Linghu who knew the way to find him.

Soon, Linghu's voice came from a height not far away, and he screamed with anger: "Too-top--! Lost again?! Too-top--!"

It's still too far, why is she just calling out wrong?

Qin Xi put his hands together and shouted: "Miss Linghu, here."

After a while, the fiery red figure arrow rushed out of the dense wild forest. Linghu, who could be called the peerless devil, was running towards him in an act that was not devilish, and screaming in anger: "You are running around again!"

He reminded: "Miss Linghu is the Taishang Mai, my name is Qin Yuanxi."

No matter what his name is, it's so annoying that I don't want to remember my name.

The first time Linghu Zhenzhen encountered such a person who completely disobeyed the way. In the morning, he didn't know what was going on, so he got lost by himself. In the afternoon, she found a source of water to wash her hands and drink water, and when she came back, he lost it again. Just now, when she picked wild fruits, he lost it again. If it weren't for him, she would have crossed this mountain today.

She suddenly stopped again and turned her head to stare at him: "You are lost three times today, so you will offset the three life-saving debts."

This man asked for a lot of prices, and actually calculated the life-saving money by number. He met more than a dozen patrol demon soldiers yesterday alone. Tangyuan Demon Lord may have taken out the entire family's assets. According to his sky-high price algorithm, the money she owes will sooner or later be as heavy as all the mountains in Xizhihuang combined. He must not let him dig a bottomless pit for himself.

Qin Xi turned his head and thought for a while, "Oh" and did not object.

She immediately became happy again. The Qin surnamed did not recognize the way and liked to walk around. It was very good. Maybe he would have to find money when he arrived in Dingyun City.

"Didn't you say that food and accommodation are all included? What about food?" She asked him naturally. He had not given food after escaping for three days. Or she found wild fruits to satisfy her hunger, but she didn't give it to her today.

It seems that this is the case.

Qin Xi took out the water bag and handed it over: "There is only water, and monks don't have to eat every day. However, there are many wild monsters nearby, so I can grab some food for you."

...Would he think that the wild monster is the same as the monster living with people in the town? He is really a big deal when he encounters such a Middle-earth monk who has no common sense than her.

"Wild monsters are all vegetation, and they don't eat anything." She began to instill common sense in the wilderness. "Only beasts become monsters, they have to eat them. However, it is difficult for beasts to become monsters, and half of them can only be monsters. Most of the remaining ones who can become humans will not linger in the wilderness, mountains and forests, and only a very small number will linger in the wild, eating raw meat and eating people."

I see.

Qin Xi pondered and said, "It's completely different from Middle Earth. Perhaps it's because there is no essence of the sun and the moon here."

"What is the essence of the sun and the moon? The spiritual energy of heaven and earth?"

"It is rumored that Middle Earth was once the place where gods lived. After Pangu opened the world, Xihe sent the sun and looked down on the moon. Therefore, there was the essence of the sun and the moon, and the world was filled with spiritual energy."

What is that? Linghu Zhenzhen felt extremely unfamiliar and could not imagine what it was. But suddenly he heard him say, "You are right. I should keep food and accommodation. I'll look for any hares and pheasants."

Come again? She pinched his arm tightly: "Don't go!"

However, this brother had no intention of repentance, and he could not understand the hardships of her leading the way at all. He still said the same words: "Just be near here, you won't get lost."

She was so annoyed to him that he would catch hares and pheasants. He was afraid that he would not know how troublesome it would be to deal with it. He would have to spend a long time with a good time. He was so proud that he had never been in the wild. If he could get rid of him and leave by himself, she would have left long ago.

"You can only get lost during the day! Not at night!"

Linghu Zhenzhen tried her best to stop him and forced him to leave.

Qin Xi felt that her arm was about to be cut off, so she had to say, "Miss Linghu, I will follow you, can you stop pinching me?"

"No, I'll feel relieved when I hold it." She refused.

Hey, the people of Dahuang have a barbaric style. Forget it, this is Dahuang, she is the boss, listen to her.

The sky gradually darkened, and a moon hangs far away at the edge of the night. Linghu Zhenzhen listened carefully, and felt that there seemed to be a vague noise in the distance - the wilderness of the mountains and forests, where did the crowd come from?

I accelerated my pace and walked up a hillside. I suddenly realized that there was a clear space on the hillside. At the foot of the mountain was an endless forest. There was a small village built in the valley and forest, with brilliant lights, like a pearl dotted on black velvet cloth.

Linghu Zhenzhen suddenly stopped.

Because she came to Nanzhihuang for the first time, in order to prevent her from getting lost, she carefully recited the map of craftsmen that her master often used. Juntan Palace is on the east side of Nanzhihuang for the map. According to the map mark, you can see the Avenue by climbing three mountains to the west. After walking the Avenue for another two days, you will be Shuiqing Town.

The problem is that the mountains are all barren mountains and there are no villages. Moreover, the Tangyuan Demon King's family doesn't like people. It is not too far from Juntan Palace, and there is no village.

"What's wrong?" Qin Xi asked.

She thought for a while: "According to the map, there shouldn't be a village here. If you are afraid, we will sleep in the mountains and forests overnight, and the water source is nearby."

Qin Xi couldn't help but look at her: "Is the person you think you are afraid of?"

The person I am afraid of is obviously her. She is afraid of meeting demon soldiers and collecting money according to the number of times. It is a trick that can be seen through at a glance.

Qin Xi pulled her back and jumped down from the edge of the cliff.

The wind suddenly roared, gathering around me. The Great Wilderness had no spiritual energy and could not soar on the spot, but it was still more than enough to slide from a high place with the wind for a distance.

Looking down from a high place, people come and go in the brightly lit village. There are various glazed lanterns for lighting several dozen steps away from Baishi Avenue, and there are many stalls, ranging from food to miscellaneous items.

Villages isolated in barren mountains but extremely prosperous are very common in Middle-earth.

Qin Xi was about to control the wind to fall, but she felt that Linghu Zhenzhen was approaching. She was still very heartbroken. She jumped back to the cliff and was dizzy. This time she was very calm.

The cold wind wrapped her dress and long hair and rushed towards him, it was very itchy. He turned his head and let the soft silk on his neck constantly scrape. The next moment, the heat from her mouth sprayed onto her ears.

“It’s weird here, be careful.”

Qin Xi touched his itchy ears, and the wind roared around him, so he could only lean into her ear and ask, "Why is it strange?"

Linghu Zhenzhen looked around for a while: "This is not the case in the normal villages in the mountains."

She came from the west to the south and encountered many mountain villages along the way, most of which were isolated from the world. Anyway, this was not the case. The master said that there were many strange things in the big wilderness, so when encountering abnormal things, you should be extra careful.

Qin Xi has not agreed.

It is naturally the best for a normal village. If not, then it doesn't matter. There is no taboo for the Taishang Cultivator, especially for him, it is more pleasant to encounter any monster or monster than sleeping in the mountains and forests.

The wind sent them down and just landed at the gate of the village. There was a crowd of people coming and going, which was very lively. There was a huge white stone tablet at the door, engraved with the three words "王机有有" and the font was extremely ancient.

Interestingly, he only knew about the Republic of China, and it was rumored that the alien races that existed in the Great Wilderness in ancient times.

But since the Great Wilderness divided the four directions, there were Emperors of Desert in all directions. These once glorious aliens in the Great Wilderness have fallen into scattered places, and most of them have become legends. Unexpectedly, there are still descendants who gathered here into villages.

Seeing that he was about to enter the village without hesitation, Linghu Zhenzhen immediately spoke out: "It's okay to go in, but if something happens, I won't give you money, I've reminded you."

Qin Xi asked kindly: "Why would Miss Linghu stay overnight in the mountains and forests alone?"

It’s not possible to be alone. The wilderness forest at night is full of dangers, and she is unarmed, so it’s extremely troublesome whether she encounters monster soldiers or wild monsters.

Linghu Zhenzhen wanted to say something else, but a gust of wind blew, and a very attractive fragrance penetrated into her nose. The few wild fruits she had just eaten disappeared in an instant.

What's so delicious!

Her legs were uncontrollably following the smell, like a wolf smelling meat, and entered the farm in the blink of an eye.

This man from the Great Wilderness refused to enter the previous moment, but ran faster than him the next moment.

Qin Xi couldn't figure out her style for a moment, so he followed behind. At dinner time, all kinds of food in the village were spread out lively. Although the many foods were simple and rough, they were completely incomparable to Middle Earth. However, the aroma of oil smoke continued to spread, and even he was attracted by a hint of greed.

On the other side, Linghu Zhenzhen had accurately found the source according to the taste - a cake stall with various fillings in the cake, and frying them with ghee to make them golden, and the aroma was almost infiltrated into her mind.

It smells so good.

She stopped opposite and sniffed hard. The boss was originally busy making pancakes. He suddenly looked up and saw such a gorgeous beauty in luxurious clothes. He couldn't help but be shocked and just chose the largest pancake bag from the pot, as if he offered treasure: "Miss, are you hungry? Take it, don't have any money."

Linghu Zhenzhen shook her head: "I don't want it."

She has no money and cannot give her gifts back.

It’s okay to buy it, but it should be paid by someone named Qin, so he agreed to include food and accommodation.

Before she could turn her head and find someone, a slender hand was already carrying the money from behind, and Qin Xi's voice sounded above her head: "Come six yuan."

If you buy so much, you must have her share, right? She doesn't believe that he can finish six cakes by himself.

Linghu Zhenzhen suddenly turned around and saw him wrapping three cakes with white paper and handing them over: "Hold it, I said I'll pack food and accommodation. Add two more, I owe you two days ago."

Isn't this the right one? If he had been so in such a way and not asking for a price everywhere, it would have been much easier to go to Xizhihuang.

I don't know if it was because he was too hungry, so he looked very pleasant when he gave the cake. Linghu Zhenzhen bit the cake and looked up at him. The bright lights in the village fell into his dark eyes, as if there was a clear fire burning. The layer of light was extremely beautiful, and she couldn't help but stare at it.

Qin Xi looked at her for a while without understanding.

The Great Wilderness has many strange words and deeds. What is she looking at? It doesn’t look like looking at people, but it seems like she is looking at a scene, a flower, or a stone, which is so weird.

"Linghu?" He called her in confusion, "What's the matter?"

She was fine, but she liked the clear lights on the eyelashes lingering in his eyes. It was indescribable and beautiful, reminding her of the charming colors she had seen before.

For example, the bright sunlight reflected on the silver money when the master bought her as a closed disciple; for example, the uncle who could only go back to the deep mountains in a few months, walked on the mountain road in the sunset, with the extremely soft and moving colors all over his body.

All are rare colors.

Finally, she saw enough and bit the cake and the aroma of ghee came to her face: "You will leave after eating the cake. It's very strange here, so it's not suitable to stay for a long time."
