Chapter 3 Chapter Two

Two hundred years later, Mount Shennong. Shennong Mountain is the mountain where the royal family of Shennong lived. It is located in the hinterland of Shennong Kingdom. There are four rivers, nine mountains and twenty-eight bees. Because Emperor Yan has been obsessed with medicine in recent years, Prince Yuzheng is the agent of all trivial matters such as documents and documents. Yuzheng is the only son of Emperor Yan. It is also quite supported by the courtiers and princes of various countries. After the court meeting today, Yu Wang did not go down the mountain. Instead, he left his attendants and rode quietly to Caoaoling, the forbidden area.

Caoaoling was listed as a forbidden area by Emperor Yan 200 years ago, but Yugong is obviously familiar with it.He stopped his mount in a hidden open area, parted the thorns and weeds, grabbed the rocks, and climbed up the cliff. On the top of the cliff, there is a thatched hut built against the mountain wall, and there is no one in the hut.Outside the thatched hut, the clouds and mist are misty and you can't see them as far as the eye can see, but Zhang Xu is a steep cliff with green pines and cypresses growing obliquely on the edge of the cliff. Then it flew over, landed on the treetops, and groaned.

Yu Wang stood on the edge of the cliff, looking at the sea of ​​clouds, and waited quietly. After a while, he said to the macaque and the kite, "I'm afraid I'm still in the air, and you guys have already informed Chi You. Why haven't you seen him yet?" The macaques gnawed wild fruits and played, and the kites pecked their feathers and croaked. Obviously they didn't understand human language, so they couldn't answer Yuwang, but there was a voice from under the cliff, "I didn't smell the smell of wine, so I ran slowly." ." Just when a gust of wind came, the humidity became heavier, and the clouds and mist billowed like a veil, covering the surrounding fields, the pines and cypresses fluttered, and the rock walls were shadowy.A figure as red as blood, like the scorching sun, swept out from the sea of ​​clouds and flew towards Yugong, seemingly carelessly, but in fact it was extremely fast.

When the red shadow settled and the clouds cleared, I saw a tall man standing lazily, his clothes were wrinkled, his hair was loose, and his whole body showed indifference, but his eyes were extremely sharp. She lowered her head slightly, avoiding his gaze. The man in red was Chi You who was waiting for Yugong. Looking at Yugong's empty hands, he muttered, "Why did you sneak into the forbidden area to find me without any wine?" Yu Wang smiled and said: "If you help me find out one thing, I will go to my father's underground palace to steal the top-quality tribute wine for you."

"You have so many capable subordinates, what can I do for you?" "I heard that Zhu Rong coveted the ground fire of Bofu Mountain and turned a mountain into a practice furnace. There is no grass in the area for hundreds of miles, and the people of Bofu are living in poverty, but no officials have dared to report to the father. I want to send a god to find out about this. If it is true, tell your father immediately and order Zhu Rong to put out the practice stove. It’s not a big deal, but you also know Zhu Rong’s fiery temper, and few gods dare to offend him. After thinking about it, you are the only one who is not afraid of him.”

Chi You scolded twice, and an old white-eared macaque leaped up the cliff, respectfully held several vermilion wild fruits in front of Chi You, Chi You picked up the wild fruits and threw them into his mouth, and said vaguely: " I'm not afraid of him, but it doesn't mean I'm going to provoke him. My grudge with him is deep enough. You should also know that Master has designated this place as a forbidden area, which means that Zhu Rong is forbidden to contact me, for fear that he will lose control and kill me for a while. ." Yu Wang knew that Chi You's temperament was soft and not strong, so he bowed and bowed sullenly, trying to grind his kung fu, "Brother, please help me."

Chi You smiled and shook his head, "Go, go, go! I'll help you take a trip to Bofu Mountain." Seeing that Chi You agreed, Yu Wang felt worried again, "Be careful, just quietly find out whether the rumors are true, and leave the rest to me. Don't confront Zhu Rong head-on. Also, comb your hair Combing, tidying up the clothes, the outside is a place where human races live together, not like on the mountain, don't scare those honest people..." Chi You frowned, flicked a wild fruit into Yuzheng's mouth, jumped off the cliff, and disappeared into the sea of ​​clouds in an instant. Yuzheng, with his mouth half-opened, froze for a moment, smiled and chewed the wild fruit and left.

On the wilderness of Bofu's country, Chi You stepped on the ground, looked up at the sky, explored the overabundant fire spirit, felt the struggle and crying of all things, and Zhu Rong really practiced here. He didn't think that Zhu Rong had done anything wrong. All things in the world were preyed upon by the weak and the strong, but Yu Wang was too kind-hearted and always liked to meddle in other people's affairs.However, if it weren't for Yugong's meddling, Xingye chased him back to Shennong Mountain, and there would be no Chi You today. He withdrew his spiritual power, looked back casually, but saw-

Under the westerly wind, beside the ancient road, a young girl in a half-new Tsing Yi came slowly from the sunset.The surrounding fields are barren and the world is dark, but she is full of vitality, like wild flowers blooming in the wind on the top of a cliff. The wild wind blew up her hair, her eyes swept around the road, and when she fell on him, she smiled. At that moment, the setting sun shone brightly, and the sunset glowed brightly. Thousands of trees and thousands of peach blossoms bloom successively, with gorgeous colors and colorful pistils. Chi You's heart was full of spring, but his expression was still as indifferent and desolate as the earth under his feet. His eyes swept over the woman in Tsing Yi, and he walked straight past her, preparing to rush back to Shennong Mountain.For two hundred years, he learned to be a man from a wild beast. The first thing he learned was that ferocity was often hidden under a smile, and the first thing he learned was to hide the ferocity with a smile. He didn't want to explore the content behind her smile.

The woman in Tsing Yi quickly chased after him, and smiled before saying anything, "My lord, how can I get to Bo's father's country?" He stopped walking, did not speak for a long time, did not turn around, but did not leave either, he just stared fixedly at the red clouds in the sky, his expression was cold and serious, but there was a little struggle in his eyes. The girl was puzzled, and lightly grabbed the corner of Chi You's sleeve, "Young master? Are you uncomfortable?" But she didn't know that what she was holding back might be a catastrophe. Well, let's see her real face!The moment he turned his head, Chi You changed his mind and expression, and said with a smile: "I happen to be from Bofu country, girl... oh, if you don't mind, miss, you can go with me."

"Great, my name is Xiling Heng (heng), a rough man from the mountains, you don't need to be polite, just call me Ah Heng." Chi You stared at Xilingheng for a moment, and then slowly said: "My name is Chi You." Ah Heng and Chi You traveled all the way, arrived at Bofu City on the second day, and found an inn to stay. Bofu Mountain in the distance is braving raging flames, reflecting the sky brightly, no matter day or night, it is full of luxury. Because of the extreme heat, the clerks in the shop were sitting listlessly. They saw a man and a woman coming in side by side. The man's scarlet robe was yellow with age, and he looked downcast.The guy didn't even bother to get up and pretended not to see it. Chi You shouted, "Get water quickly, I'm dying of thirst!" The man rolled his eyes and spread his fingers, "A pot of clean water is five jade coins!" The implication is, can you afford it? Chi You also rolled his eyes, really can't afford it!But he looked at Xilingheng with a playful smile.Along the way, he kept eating and drinking, and Xiling Heng had gotten used to it, so he took out his purse and counted it, it happened to be five jade coins. "Drinking water without eating is not enough." Chi You said with concern. "Then you have money..." Before Xi Lingheng finished speaking, Chi You spread out one hand and pointed to the jade earrings on her ears with the other, "Just use them, although the color is not good, it should be okay for a meal." Xiling Heng smiled wryly, took off the earrings, and put them in Chi You's palm. The clerk swiftly took away the jade coins and earrings, and before leaving, he gave Chi You a blank stare. I have seen rascals, but I have never seen such rascals! After the waiter brought water and food, Chi You rushed to pour himself a glass first, but Xi Lingheng frowned and looked at the "Flame Mountain" in the distance. Chi You slowly sipped the water in the glass, squinted at Xilingheng, his eyes were full of inner light, like a leopard just waking up from a nap lazily examining its prey. As if Xiling Heng had sensed it, he turned around suddenly, only to see Chi You sneakily pouring water again. Seeing that she noticed, Chi You giggled, "Drink?" He handed the water glass to Xiling Heng. Xi Lingheng shook his head in a good-tempered manner, "Drink more!" Xilingheng called his buddy over, "I heard that Bofu's country is in good weather and the people live and work in peace and contentment. Why is it like this?" "Decades ago, the Bofu country had good weather and abundant crops, but I don't know when Bofu Mountain started to catch fire. The weather is getting drier and the water is getting less and less. People fight every day for water. Human life is precious!" The man looked at the flames in the sky, sighed and said, "The old people said that the flames on Bofu Mountain were lit by the gods to punish us, but what did we do wrong?" An old man in his sixties with a goatee and a three-stringed string on his back walked into the inn. His face was purple and his forehead was covered with beads of sweat. He tremblingly said to the clerk, "Brother, please give me some water." The man had long been used to such scenes, so he put on a face unmoved.The old man hunched over and pleaded with the few scattered customers in the store: "Which guest officer will appreciate your saliva?" Everyone turned their heads. "Come over here and sit down!" The old man rushed to the table, and Xi Lingheng wanted to pour water for the old man, but Chi You grabbed the water bottle and kept winking at Xi Lingheng, implying that she had no money.Xilingheng pulled it over, and he pulled it back, only to see that the kettle turned left and right for a while, and the old man's eyeballs also turned left and right for a while. Left and right, left and right... After a few laps, the old man's eyes burst out with gold stars, and he almost passed out. Xiling Heng hit Chi You hard, and he reluctantly let go, and the old man also heaved a sigh of relief, and sat down softly. The old man drank a glass of water, his complexion gradually improved, and he thanked Xilingheng, "Thank you for your life, the young lady. The little old man has no possessions, so I played the first three strings for the lady, told a strange story, and thanked you all." He adjusted the tune Qin Xian, cleared his throat, "I just heard the young lady ask about the fire in Bofu Mountain, and the little old man risked his life to tell the truth. In fact, Bofu Mountain Fire is not a sky fire to punish mortals, but the fire god Zhu Rong to ignite Because Bofu Mountain is connected with the earth fire, and the fire spirit is abundant, in order to temper his own fire spirit, Zhu Rong led the earth fire up and turned the whole mountain into his practice furnace. The nearby villages lived in harmony. Nowadays, in order to snatch water, there are frequent fights. The middle-aged men either die with knives and axes, or their legs are broken. feet, I can't escape..." Chi You interrupted the old man's words, his face full of fear, "Stop talking! Criticize the protoss, you don't want to die, we want to die!" The old man stared at Xilingheng without saying a word, as if he was praying for something, after a long while, he put away the sanxian and left quietly. Xiling Heng looked at the "Flame Mountain" in the distance, meditating silently.The fire is easy to extinguish, but Zhu Rong is difficult to deal with!Zhu Rong is one of the top ten masters in the Protoss. Rumor has it that he is narrow-minded and will take revenge for every grievance. Chi You leaned close to Xiling Heng's ear, and whispered, "I think there is something wrong with this old man. He said he was dying of thirst, but he was sweating profusely. He didn't look like a person short of water at all. I don't know what he's thinking." Xiling Heng nodded, "I can see that he is not a human... not an ordinary old man." The old man is a monster, and his spiritual power is not weak, but unfortunately he is a wood demon, who is naturally afraid of fire. I think he can see that she has spiritual power , came here to save the grass and trees here, although they have other plans, their intentions are not sinister. Taking advantage of Chi You's rest, Xilingheng secretly abandoned him and rushed to Bofu Mountain. Because of the geothermal heat, the surroundings of Bofu Mountain are full of dangers. Hot air is emitted from the cracks in the land from time to time. Some of the land looks solid, but the bottom may have already melted. Xilingheng carefully avoided the jet of hot air and walked towards Bofu Mountain with difficulty.She raised her right foot and was about to step on it when there was a scream suddenly, she hurriedly turned her head and saw that Chi You was burned by the air column and fell to the ground, she hurried back and helped him up, "Why are you here?" There was a huge explosion from behind, and scalding heat swept in. Xilingheng immediately covered Chi You with his body, hugged him and rolled away. The place where she was going to step down just now has turned into a bottomless cave, billowing steam is like a giant white dragon soaring into the sky, and even the hard rock has been crushed into powder. Xilingheng broke out in a cold sweat, and didn't dare to think about what would happen if she stepped on it just now. Chi You put his arms around Xiling Heng, and said coyly: "Miss Xiling, I'm not married yet, if you want to be my wife, I have to go back and ask my mother first." "Ah?" Xiling Heng was restless and didn't understand Chi You's meaning, but when she saw that she was pressing on Chi You and holding him tightly with both hands, she immediately stood up blushing, "I'm not... I'm here to save you." You. By the way, why are you here?" "Why are you here?" Chi You asked back. "I want to destroy..." Xi Lingheng became angry, "I'm asking you!" "I'm asking you too! You say it first, and I'll say it later!" Xiling Heng had already seen Chi You's scoundrels, so he turned around and left, "You have seen it too, this place is very dangerous, go back quickly." After walking cautiously for a certain distance, he saw a patch of muddy ground, it was not dangerous to try it out, Xiling Heng was about to step in when he heard a scream from behind. Chi You hugged his foot that was scalded by the lava, and danced in pain, while waving at her with grinning teeth. "Why are you still following? Are you not afraid of death?" "Whoever sees it has a share, I don't want too much, as long as four achievements are enough!" "What do you want to share with you?" "Baby! Are you sneaking around and sneaking around, aren't you going to dig for treasure?" "I'm not digging for treasure!" Chi You shook his head and said, "Birds die for food and people die for money. Don't try to lie to me. I'm smart!" Once here, it would be very difficult to turn back, Xiling Heng had no choice but to walk over, "Follow me, don't run around." Chi You nodded repeatedly, clutching Xiling Heng's sleeve tightly, with a nervous expression on his face. Because of Chi You's flinching and dawdling, it took a while for Xilingheng to return to the muddy ground just now.Seeing one yellow bubble after another emerging from the soil, Chi You happily rushed over, "It's so beautiful!" Xi Lingheng grabbed him, "This is the poisonous gas from the ground, very poisonous!" She secretly rejoiced that if she hadn't been delayed by this rascal, she would have already walked in. Xiling Heng led Chi You on a detour.After walking for a whole day, I finally arrived at the foot of Bofu Mountain without any danger. The heat wave was rolling in, and the body was almost cooked. Chi You kept screaming. A-Heng could only hold his hand tightly and try to cover his body with spiritual power. She herself felt more and more uncomfortable. The clothes are woven by the mother mixed with ice silk, which can restrain the ground fire. After walking for a while, Chi You's face turned red and he had trouble breathing, "I, I really can't walk anymore, just leave me alone and go dig the mountain by yourself, I'll wait for you here." "I told you it's not digging treasures!" If Chi You were left here, I'm afraid he would be corroded by the spirit of fire until he disappeared without a cup of tea.Xilingheng thought for a while and took off his outer shirt. Chi You still didn't want to put on women's clothes, Xiling Heng forced him to put them on, and Chi You suddenly felt his body go cold, "What is this?" "You should dress well!" Xi Lingheng smiled reluctantly, her spiritual power was not high, now that she has no clothes, she has to take care of Chi You, which is very strenuous. As Chi You walked, he looked at Xiling Heng.She blushed and was obviously upset after giving him the clothes. As Chi You was walking, a sly smile suddenly appeared on his lips, and just as the smile started, he stepped on the ground and fell to the ground. Xi Lingheng wanted to help him up, but he screamed miserably as soon as he tried hard. Xiling Heng touched his leg bones and asked him where the pain was, Chi You groaned, his face turned pale, obviously he couldn't walk. "I'll carry you on my back!" Xi Lingheng squatted down. Chi You was not polite at all, and lay down on Xilingheng with a playful smile, "I'm sorry, I'm sorry!" Xilingheng climbed up the mountain, he didn't know whether it was an illusion or too much spiritual power, but he felt that Chi You was getting heavier and heavier on his back. Later, he felt that what she was carrying was not a person at all, but a small mountain. It weighed her down. "Why are you so heavy?" Chi You's entire back was petrified, causing the weight of the surrounding rocks to gather and press on Xilingheng's body, but he said unhappily: "What do you mean? If you don't want to carry it, let me down! I will risk my life to accompany you up the mountain Di Bao, you actually want to abandon me because I was injured!" "I didn't mean that, I just thought you were so heavy..." "You think I'm heavy? Do you think I shouldn't let you carry me at all? But I was hurt because of you! You think I'm a burden, and you want me to die quickly! Then you drop me and let me die Here it is! Poor my eighty-year-old mother is still waiting for me to come home..." Chi You said with a trembling voice. "Forget it, it's my fault!" "What does it mean to count your fault?" Chi You refused to let go, struggling to get off the ground. In order to calm things down, Xi Lingheng could only swallow his anger and say: "It's my fault." Xilingheng walked hard with Chi You on his back, and had to be on guard against falling fireballs and avoid traps on the ground. There were many dangers along the way, and he almost died several times, but Chi You yelled and thought she could recite it well. Not smooth enough. Xiling Heng was so angry that he gritted his teeth, but he couldn't really disregard his life and death, so he could only curse Chi You in his heart, while secretly vowing that after this time, he would never deal with this rascal! After finally climbing to the side peak near the top of the mountain, Xiling Heng put Chi You down. Xiling Heng was sweating profusely, his body was covered in dirt, and he was in a terrible state of distress, but Chi You didn't take a step forward, didn't waste any effort, he was refreshed and clean. Xiling Heng wiped the sweat from his forehead, and suddenly felt something was wrong, only to realize that the noisy Chi You hadn't spoken for a long time, turned his head wonderingly, and saw Chi You was staring at her, his eyes were strangely focused, he was almost domineering, with a full face. The world doesn't look down on it. Xiling Heng was startled, feeling that Chi You had changed, "You, what's wrong with you?" Chi You grinned, with a shy face, grabbed Xilingheng's hand and said, "You might as well be my wife, with such strength, you are a good hand at crop work." Still that rascal! Xilingheng didn't bother to talk to him, shook off his hand, looked up at the huge flames soaring into the sky, and lamented that Zhu Rong was indeed the God of Vulcan, and that just a kung fu furnace was so powerful.If she puts out the fire, it may be very difficult for her to escape Zhu Rong's pursuit, and she can only take one step at a time. Xilingheng took out a "jade box", which looked like white jade, but was actually Wannian Xuanbing. Two almost transparent white ice silkworm kings emerged from the Xuanbing, with transparent wings as thin as ice on their bodies. The surrounding air seemed to drop to freezing point all of a sudden, and Chi You was trembling with his arms folded.Xiling Heng handed the "jade box" to Chi You, "Stand behind me." Using her spiritual power, she drove the two ice silkworm kings to fly up, and began to weave silk and weave densely around the flames. As the nets became more and more dense, Xi Lingheng's face became more and more red, and beads of sweat rolled from his forehead fall. Finally, a huge ice silkworm net was formed, and Xiling Heng mobilized his spiritual power to press down on the net. The flames began to subside little by little, and when they had already entered the mountain pass, the ground fire blazed up and exploded again, trying to break through the ice silkworms. Xilingheng was so shaken that he took three steps back and almost fell off the cliff, but luckily Chi You grabbed her. Xilingheng didn't have time to speak, nodded to express his gratitude, and forced the ice silkworm net to continue to draw in a breath. The flames were still not suppressed, but grew higher and higher. Xilingheng's face turned from red to white, getting more and more Yue Bai, his body wobbled. There was a fishy sweetness in her throat, blood spurted out and splashed on the ice silk, there was a loud bang, the ice silk burst into dazzling white light, but the red light also soared, engulfing the white light.The flame broke through the ice silkworm net and rushed towards Xilingheng. Xilingheng was hit by the heat wave, his eyes went dark, and he passed out on the ground. At this time, everyone on the street stared at Bofu Mountain in the distance. Originally the bright red light in the sky was oppressed by the white net-shaped light and shrunk a little bit, the whole sky became dim, and the fire was about to be completely extinguished, but suddenly it started to skyrocket again, the white net disappeared, and the flames turned red half the sky. Just as the flames were raging and dancing wildly, a dazzling white light suddenly appeared, and everyone turned their heads subconsciously and closed their eyes. When everyone opened their eyes, they found that the white light and the red light had disappeared, and the whole world became an unacceptable darkness. The sky is dark and dark blue, like the purest black crystal in the world, with countless stars shining in it, and the breeze that hits the face brings the refreshing coolness of the night. This is the most ordinary night in the world, but it has never happened in Bofu country for decades. Everyone stood there stupidly, staring up at the sky, as if the entire Bofu Kingdom had been cast with a holding spell. After a long time, water columns gushed out from the dry cracks on the ground, some high and some low, forming beautiful water flowers, one after another blooming in the night.It is not dazzling, but it is the most beautiful flower in the eyes of people who have suffered from drought for a long time. Seeing the water, all of a sudden, people on the street started screaming and running wildly. Everyone hugged each other whether they knew each other or not. The old people burst into tears and put water into their mouths with their hands. Jumping from column to column.The giant children took the stone troughs, and the mortal children took the casks, and splashed water on each other, laughing as they splashed. When Xi Lingheng woke up from the coma, he saw the sky full of stars, twinkling and twinkling, peaceful and beautiful. She froze for a while before realizing where she was, "The fire is gone, the fire is gone!" She excitedly shook Chi You who was unconscious Say: "No, no fire! Have you put out the wildfire?" Xiling Heng stared at Chi You suspiciously, "I don't know who put out the fire, maybe it was you." At the moment before she fell into a coma, she clearly saw the tongues of flames sweeping towards her, and she thought that she would be seriously injured if she didn't die. Chi You jumped up immediately, and patted his chest proudly, "It's me! I saw two fat silkworms about to be swallowed by the fire, so I poured my whole body of spiritual power into it, threw the box in my hand, and the mountain fire was swallowed by my powerful spirit." The power is gone!" Chi You seemed to think that when he went down the mountain later, he would be thanked by all the people, and his face was intoxicated. On the contrary, his confession as if he was robbing made Xi Lingheng feel suspicious, and burst out laughing. It seems that he hit by mistake. This person doesn't even recognize the Ice Silkworm King. After secretly learning some messy quack spells, I thought I had high spiritual power. Chi You said dissatisfiedly, "What are you laughing at?" Xiling Heng said with a smile: "Have you forgotten who owns this mountain fire? This is the fire lit by Zhu Rong. The fire god Zhu Rong's temper is hotter than his fire. He only needs to flick his finger..." Xi Lingheng Heng stared at Chi You, "I can burn you to powder!" Chi You shivered, his expression frightened and uneasy, he hummed and wanted to shirk his responsibility, "Actually, I was already so frightened at the time, seeing the fire suddenly go up, I threw the box and ran, and I fell and lost everything." I no longer know." When Xiling Heng saw that the scoundrel was finally feeling exhausted, he laughed and pushed him to rush down the mountain, shouting as he rushed, "Here comes the fire-fighting hero!" Chi You tightly grasped Xilingheng's hand, his face turned pale, "Don't, don't scream, I didn't put out the fire." Xilingheng laughed so hard that he kept roaring, "Here is the firefighting hero!" Everyone gathered around and knelt down in front of them. Xiling Heng pushed Chi You into the crowd with all his strength, walked up to them, and said with arrogance: "I put out the fire." She winked at Chi You, just kidding you, coward! Everyone poured water on Xilingheng, she hid and laughed happily, "Remember, my name is Xilingheng, if anyone comes to ask you who put out the fire, you should say it was Xilingheng." People immersed in ecstasy splashed water and shouted with laughter: "Xiling, Xiling, it was Xiling who saved us." Chi You, who was squeezed in the crowd, silently looked at Xi Lingheng who was hiding and laughing, his eyes were strangely dark, and the lazy smile on his lips brought out a little bit of warmth. In the early morning of the second day, when Chi You woke up, Xilingheng had disappeared. The clerk smiled and brought a pot of water to Chi You, "Miss Xiling has left, no one will buy water for you today, but now the water in Bofu Country is free to drink!" Chi You took the water bottle and thanked him lightly. The man was taken aback, feeling that the person in front of him seemed completely different from yesterday. Birds chirped a few times in the sky, but no one paid attention, but Chi You immediately stood up and opened the window. In the blue sky, mortal eyes can only see a small black dot, and if you don't pay attention, you will ignore it, but he can see that it is a huge Bifang bird. of Zhu Rong. Chi You was very surprised, he thought that Zhu Rong would be angry, but he didn't expect that he would be so angry that he would chase and kill Xiling Heng, who was his practice furnace, regardless of his status.If Xiling Heng was caught up by him, he would surely die. Chi You immediately put down the cup and walked away, seemingly displeased, but quickly disappeared into the field.
