Chapter 38 If you mess with me, you're like kicking cotton!
The stars hang down and the plains are wide, and the moon springs from the river.
At three o'clock in the morning, Yang Ling's soul left his body and flew over the Guanjiangkou area, trying to establish contact with his puppet clone, but no matter how hard he tried, there was always silence from the other end.
Yang Ling's heart sank suddenly, his brows furrowed, and an ominous premonition spread in his heart.
The details of his soul's travels in recent times flashed through his mind one by one. He vaguely remembered that Yunhua and the Taiyin Jade Rabbit went to the southeast coastal area to capture the three-headed dragon that violated the Heavenly Law.
However, the three-headed dragon was cautious and cunning by nature. After seeing Yunhua, its old rival, it dived into the Yu River without saying a word and fled towards the southeast.
Yunhua also relied on a certain tracking "magic treasure" to keep chasing the enemy. Not long ago, he had already chased them into Wuyi Mountain, and then lost contact.
Wuyi Mountain!
Although he could not sense the puppet clone and it might be that Yunhua and the others had entered some kind of restriction, Yang Ling still decided to go to Wuyi Mountain immediately to find out what was going on.
He left an avatar at home to look after the children and the home, while his original body went straight to the residence of the great magician Xuandu - Yang Ling rented him a relatively quiet courtyard in the largest brothel in the city.
Xuan Du was sitting cross-legged on a cushion with his eyes slightly closed, as if he was practicing.
Yang Ling pushed the door open and walked in, saying directly: "I have to go to Wuyi Mountain for something urgent, and I would like to ask the great master to help look after my two children."
Master Xuandu opened his eyes and looked at Yang Ling with a sharp gaze, "Daoyou, you are full of murderous aura and rage at the moment, but what happened to your wife?"
Ever since he went to the Yang Mansion last time, he already knew the true identity of Madam Yang. Now seeing Yang Ling so anxious, he naturally thought that her identity had been exposed.
Yang Ling didn't know what he was thinking, so he just nodded.
Master Xuandu was silent for a moment, then looked at him and said, "It is not convenient for me to intervene in this matter. I can only promise that I will not leave Guanjiangkou before you come back. The rest depends on you."
Yang Ling heaved a sigh of relief when he heard this.
He knew that with Master Xuandu's words, his two children would be safe.
At this time, Xuandu whispered again: "Daoyou have a long journey to go, I have a flat-horned blue ox here, which is enough to take you there."
As he spoke, Master Xuandu waved his sleeves, and a tall, strange beast slowly walked out of the void.
It looks very much like a buffalo, but its fur is blue-black, and it has a towering horn in the middle of its forehead.
The four hooves were covered with a faint green light, looking mysterious.
Yang Ling's mind moved, and he immediately guessed the origin of this flat-horned green bull.
"Thank you!"
He bowed to the great master Xuandu and jumped onto the cow's back.
The flat-horned green ox let out a low moo, and then its four hooves started to move in the wind, turning into a stream of green light and galloping towards the southeast.
The blue ox with flat horns walked in the air, seemingly slowly but actually fast. Every step it took crossed countless mountains, rivers, as if the world was folded up under its four hooves.
Yang Ling knew that this flat-horned green bull had an extraordinary origin, and its speed was probably one of the fastest in the world.
If he wasn't worried about his beloved wife at this moment, he would definitely have a good chat with this strange beast.
Not long after, when they came to the sky above a series of mountains with rich spiritual energy, the blue ox with flat horns suddenly braked, and its four hooves suddenly stopped in the air. The huge inertia caught Yang Ling off guard and flew out, falling straight down the mountain.
Yang Ling's body tumbled in the air, but fortunately he had a strong foundation in cultivation and quickly stabilized his body. But when he turned around to look for the flat-horned green ox, he found that this guy had actually drilled directly into the void and disappeared without a trace.
"This stupid cow..."
Yang Ling cursed inwardly, but he also knew that the vast mountain range in front of him should be the destination of this trip, Wuyi Mountain.
He took a deep breath, adjusted his mood, then activated the "Xing" secret and flew as fast as possible towards the place where the puppet last appeared.
The "Xing" secret possessed amazing speed, and Yang Ling soon arrived at a quiet valley.
The valley is covered with green grass and wild flowers, with silvery waterfalls cascading down and clear streams gurgling...
Yang Ling's gaze did not linger on the beautiful scenery of the valley, but was fully focused on some very conspicuous traces -
In the valley, there were rocks melted by the flames, rows of towering trees broken at the roots, huge pits and cracks on the mountain walls, and a pool of smelly blood gathered below...
All these things show that a very fierce fight took place here not long ago.
He searched carefully along these traces, observing every detail, trying to find Yunhua's whereabouts.
Soon, his eyes were attracted by the silvery waterfall.
The waterfall was like a white silk hanging upside down, the sound of water roared, and there was a dark cave hidden in the thick mist.
Yang Ling did not hesitate and walked directly through the water curtain and came to the cave behind the waterfall.
The next moment, a sharp and fierce aura came from the darkness.
Yang Ling instinctively dodged the attack by leaning sideways, and his right hand shot out like lightning, accurately grabbing the attacker's neck.
He exerted force and dragged the opponent out of the shadows, then punched him in the face with his left hand.
But when he saw the person he had captured, his fierce fist suddenly stopped. It was not an enemy, but the Taiyin Jade Rabbit he had seen before. The Taiyin Jade Rabbit's big, watery eyes were full of panic, and its limbs struggled desperately, even forgetting to use the jade hairpin magic treasure in its hand.
Yang Ling let go of his hand and said in a deep voice: "Don't be afraid, it's me!"
After escaping, Taiyin Jade Rabbit wanted to escape directly, but was slightly stunned when he heard the words. He stared at Yang Ling carefully for a long time before he suddenly realized.
"So it's you! You're the one called... called... what was your name?"
Yang Ling frowned, regretting that he didn't punch her just now. If he punched a silly little girl like this, she would probably cry for a long time, right?
"Where is my wife?"
Yang Ling looked at the little white rabbit and directly asked the question that concerned him most.
"Her Royal Highness the Princess chased the three-headed dragon to the Xianglengquan Secret Realm. Before leaving, she asked me to hide here and wait for her to come back. This glazed phoenix hairpin was also given to me by Her Royal Highness for self-protection." The little white rabbit explained honestly.
"Where is the Xianglengquan Secret Realm?" Yang Ling asked with a frown.
"Ah? You don't even know Xiang Lengquan?" The little white rabbit tilted its head and looked at Yang Ling, with a look that said "You don't even know this common sense". Yang Ling couldn't help but clench his fists again.
The little white rabbit had just been grabbed by his neck, and that arm seemed as hard as iron!
Although she was very curious about how this mortal suddenly became so powerful, the only reason she was able to survive in the Heavenly Palace for so many years was because of the word "admit defeat".
Seeing Yang Ling's unhappy expression, she immediately confessed: "It is said that the ancient demon court's emperor originally had ten little golden crows, but nine of them were later shot down by Dayi of the witch clan.
The nine little golden crows were shot to the ground, but their resentment remained and turned into nine Yang springs. The Xiangleng Spring in Wuyi Mountain is one of them.
Hearing this, Yang Ling frowned even deeper, "Since it's just a hot spring, how can it be related to the secret realm?"
“That’s because you are too ignorant… ahem, in addition to the Heavenly Emperor, there was also a Golden Crow with great magical powers in the ancient demon court, who was revered as the Eastern Emperor by the demon clan.
He has a very powerful treasure called the Donghuang Bell. It is said that this bell is infinitely mysterious and has infinite power. It can travel through the past and the future and suppress the universe...
After the nine Golden Crows fell, Donghuang planned to use this bell to reverse time and save them all!
As for how it was done specifically, I have no idea.
Anyway, since then, a small world has been left at the location of the nine Yangquans. It is said that there are secret treasures of the ancient demon court hidden in it, and there are ferocious beasts from the ancient times guarding it...
Over time, these small worlds became secret places, attracting many practitioners to search for treasures."
Small world?
So the reason why he couldn't sense the puppet clone was because Yunhua entered the Xianglengquan secret realm?
Thinking of this, Yang Ling breathed a sigh of relief and looked at the little white rabbit and said, "Can you still find my wife now?"
"Of course!" The little white rabbit was very proud. He stretched out his hand and wiped his nose. He said proudly: "My nose is very sensitive. As long as it is a scent I have smelled, I can still track it even if it is thousands of miles away!"
Hearing this, Yang Ling's face couldn't help but look a little strange: "Could there be a dog demon among your ancestors?"
"What kind of dog demon is this!"
The little white rabbit was so angry that her eyes turned red. If she hadn't known she couldn't win, she would have rushed over and bit him hard. But now she could only puff up her cheeks and mutter something under her breath.
"It's okay, it's okay, it's just a small matter... I'm not angry, I'm not angry, if you provoke me, you're just kicking cotton..."
Yang Ling didn't know whether to laugh or cry.
This little rabbit is such a coward.
"Let's go, take me to find Yunhua!"
"Don't go!"
The little white rabbit said firmly: "Her Royal Highness the Princess told me to wait for her here. I'm not going anywhere!"
"You sound so righteous, but in fact you are afraid that there are ferocious beasts in that secret realm, right?" Yang Ling ruthlessly exposed her disguise.
The little white rabbit suddenly became nervous, "This Immortal... This Immortal is not what you said! In any case, this Immortal will obey the orders of the Princess and will never leave here!"
"Really?" Yang Ling smiled. "I have two pieces of news here, one good and one bad. Which one do you want to hear?"
The little white rabbit was stunned for a moment. Yang Ling's smile made her even more uneasy. She stammered, "You, you, you...you tell the bad news first!"
"The bad news is that this valley is the territory of a very powerful snake fairy. If you continue to stay here, you will probably be eaten by him!"
"Gulu~"
The little white rabbit swallowed his saliva, glanced around nervously, and said in a trembling voice: "What about the good news? You, you, you...will you protect me?"
"No!" Yang Ling shook his head decisively, "I'm going to the Xianglengquan Secret Realm to look for my wife. As for the good news... when I find my wife and come back, I'll come to collect your body...
Well, if there are any bodies left."
White Rabbit:"……"
How is this good news?
