Chapter 11 I, Li, never brag
Under the auspicious light shining around Yunhua, the poison gas on the man on the ground quickly disappeared.
He suddenly opened his eyes, climbed up, and looked at the woman beside him the first time.
Seeing that he was fine, his nervous expression finally relaxed.
He looked up at the colorful "rainbow wall", then looked at Yang Ling and his wife, and immediately understood what had happened.
He quickly clasped his hands together, bowed to Yang Ling and his wife, and said in a deep voice: "I am Li Jing, a disciple of Master Du'e from West Kunlun. I would like to thank you two immortals for saving my life!"
"what?"
Yang Ling was stunned.
He expected that his wife was kind-hearted and would definitely help to rescue people, but he never imagined that the person being rescued would be the future demon-conquering marshal of heaven, Tota-holder Heavenly King - Li Jing!
Millions of heavenly soldiers surrendered, and the golden pagoda stood high to suppress the north!
These two lines of poetry are the true portrayal of Li Jing after he joined the Heavenly Court. Even above the Thirty-three Heavens, he can be considered to be in a high position of power!
In a sense, the name of Tota-Bearing Heavenly King Li is even more famous than Erlang Shen.
Of course, that all happened after he was deified.
At this moment, Li Jing was just an ordinary Qi cultivator who failed to become an immortal and was driven out of the mountain by his teacher.
Yang Ling remained calm, turned his head to look at the woman next to Li Jing, and couldn't help but let out a light "eh".
He didn't look carefully in the sky just now, but now he realized that he actually knew this woman.
At this moment, the woman also recognized him and asked in surprise: "Brother Yang, why is it you?"
"Do you know?"
Li Jing looked up in surprise.
Yunhua also sent a message curiously: Husband, do you recognize them?
Yang Ling nodded slightly.
The woman in front of him had a handsome appearance, a strong figure, and was wearing armor. She was as brave as any man.
This woman was none other than the daughter of the general of Guanjiangkou. Her surname was Yin and her name was Shi Niang.
Its reputation is also well-known in Guanjiangkou.
As the most powerful and wealthy businessman in Guan County, Yang Ling had many business dealings with the general's mansion and often went in and out of it. Naturally, he knew this daughter of a general.
"This is my sister-in-law, right?"
Yin Shiniang looked at Yunhua and said enthusiastically, "I've heard that Brother Yang married a wife who is as beautiful as a fairy. I didn't expect that she is actually a fairy!"
"Thank you for the compliment. I'm just a Qi cultivator." Yunhua explained quickly.
After saying this, as if she was afraid that people would not believe her, she quickly dispersed the auspicious light and auspicious colors around her, then stretched out her hand.
The colorful "rainbow wall" suddenly shrank into a handkerchief and gently fell into her hand.
"Just now, thanks to this colorful neon handkerchief, otherwise I would not be able to stop the giant python."
Hearing this, Li Jing and Yin Shiniang immediately looked much more relaxed.
Obviously, Yunhua just now brought them a lot of psychological pressure. Now that they knew that she was also a "Qi cultivator", most of the pressure immediately dissipated.
"No matter what, I still want to thank you for your help, otherwise we would both be buried here today!"
"Yes, Brother Yang and his wife saved my life, Shi Niang will never forget it!"
Li Jing and Yin Shiniang once again expressed their thanks solemnly.
"You two don't have to be so formal..."
Yang Ling knew that his wife was not good at socializing, so he immediately took the initiative to step forward and start a conversation with Li Jing and Yin Shiniang.
Because they were old acquaintances of Yin Shiniang, the two of them did not have too many reservations when communicating with each other, and soon found out that they both came to Meishan to collect herbs.
They wanted to pick a magical herb called Oolong and go back to treat General Yin's chronic illness.
However, the terrain of Meishan is complex, the journey is long, and there are many monsters and demons, so they set out three days ago.
Yang Ling glanced at Yun Hua.
It took others three days to walk the same distance, but it only took you less than half an incense stick of time...
If you want to disguise yourself as an ordinary Qi cultivator, you should at least be careful!
Because everyone had similar goals, Yin Shiniang enthusiastically invited Yang Ling and his wife to join them.
Yang Ling wanted to refuse, as he really enjoyed the time they had alone together, but Yun Hua spoke first:
"There are many powerful monsters in Meishan. It is safer to travel together."
Yang Ling's heart moved slightly.
He knew that no matter how many monsters there were in Meishan, they could not threaten a deity like Yunhua.
The reason she agreed to go with him was probably to provide him with some insurance.
Sure enough, just as this thought came to his mind, he heard his wife say seriously: "My husband only has a rough understanding of the method of refining qi, and he has no ability to protect himself in Meishan. If he encounters evil spirits blocking the way later, please take good care of my husband."
Yin Shiniang patted her chest cheerfully and said proudly, "Don't worry, sister-in-law. Unless you kill me first, no monster can hurt Brother Yang!"
Li Jing also nodded solemnly, his eyes moving vaguely between Yin Shiniang and Yang Ling, with a hint of suspicion in his eyes.
Yang Ling had sharp senses and he noticed Li Jing's gaze at the first moment, and couldn't help but feel a little amused.
Could it be that Li Jing thinks there is something between him and Yin Shiniang?
However, explaining this kind of thing would only make things worse, so he naturally wouldn't bother doing it.
After agreeing to travel together, Li Jing and Yin Shiniang each flew up on their swords and flew towards the top of the mountain in the air dozens of feet above the ground.
They dare not fly too high.
Because there are many big monsters in the Meishan area, if you fly too high, you may accidentally fly into the territory of those big monsters, which will be regarded as an active provocation!
The reason why the giant python chased them just now was because they accidentally entered the python's territory.
Yun Hua still transformed into a rainbow light with Yang Ling, but her speed was many times slower, and she followed slowly behind Li Jing and Yin Shiniang.
Although Li Jing and Yin Shiniang are young and not very experienced in Taoism, they have rich experience in dealing with monsters. They can roughly determine the territories divided by the monsters through some traces and try to avoid them.
After more than an hour of hard work, they finally reached the main peak of Meishan Mountain and collected many aged elixirs along the way.
The Oolong grass that Yin Shiniang needed was also among them.
They only needed to find one more Yaoxiangcao plant to return to Guanjiangkou.
However, after searching for a long time, they still couldn't find any trace of Yao Xiangcao.
"Could it be that someone picked it up first?"
Yunhua was a little anxious.
Without one magical medicine, refining the elixir of transformation becomes a luxury!
"Don't worry, sister-in-law." Yin Shiniang comforted her, "Meishan is so big, let's look for it carefully.
By the way, does the herb have any special smell?
Brother Li once cultivated a magical power related to the nose, and is very sensitive to all kinds of smells, so maybe he can help."
Li Jing's spirits lifted when he heard this. He straightened his chest unconsciously and said with a smile, "I, Li Jing, never brag. As long as it is a scent I have smelled, I can find it within a hundred miles!"
"That's great." Yun Hua quickly took out a purple-red leaf from the brocade bag, "This is the leaf of Yaoxiangcao, you can smell it and try it."
Li Jing took the leaf, put it to his nose and sniffed it carefully, then patted his chest and said, "Don't worry, I'll take care of it!
As long as there is still Yaoxiangcao in Meishan, I will definitely be able to find it!"
After saying that, he rode the sword and flew out first.
Yang Ling and others hurriedly followed.
Several people conducted a carpet search around Meishan Mountain for another three or four hours, searching almost every corner of the main peak, but still found nothing.
As the sun gradually set, several people landed next to a huge bluestone on the top of the mountain.
Yunhua couldn't hide his disappointment, but still shook his head and said with a wry smile: "It seems that there is really no Yaoxiangcao here. Let's go back."
After that, she looked at Li Jing and Yin Shiniang again, "Thank you for your hard work today."
Yin Shiniang waved her hands quickly, "Sister-in-law, you are too polite. We are traveling together and should help each other. What's more, you are our savior."
Li Jing also rubbed his sore nose and said with some regret: "It's a pity that there is no Yaoxiangcao on Meishan Mountain, otherwise I could help a little."
"Okay, since there is no Yaoxiang grass, let's take a short rest and then go back." Yang Ling said as he walked to the big bluestone and sat down.
But this time he sat in an empty seat.
The big bluestone was clearly there, but it seemed empty and could not be touched at all.
"A blind trick!"
Yunhua noticed something was wrong at the first moment. He stretched out his hand and flicked it gently. A ray of auspicious light flashed across, and the large bluestone was split in half like a curtain, and then slowly disappeared in full view of everyone.
Instead, there was a magical herb about a foot tall with nine leaves, each of which had a different color.
"Yao Xiangcao!"
Yin Shiniang was the first to call out the name of the spiritual herb, and then glanced at Li Jing with some dissatisfaction, as if to say:
Isn’t your nose very powerful? The herb is right next to you, so why can’t you smell it?
Li Jing was also a little confused.
He sniffed hard, but still couldn't smell the scent of vanilla.
Yang Ling laughed secretly.
Young people, don't be in a hurry to show off yourself, and don't be too confident...
Easy to get slapped in the face!
