Chapter 78: Dry Rations and Bandages

  Jin Gang Pao and Hei San were drunk and lost their composure, sleeping with their limbs splayed out in all directions. I hastily helped Jin Gang Pao up and dragged him out of the main hall.

  Lunch was sent by Bai Jiu Yu, and at the time of lighting the lamp, Jin Gang Pao finally woke up. I picked out some important points from my previous conversation with Bai Jiu Yu and told him about it, of course, words like "tying a knot" were not to be said to him.

  "It's a good thing she was sent out, otherwise let her possess and see, when the time comes to wake up Murong Zhui Feng, that would be lively." Jingang Cannon snorted coldly when I mentioned possession.

  "Old Cow, don't you like Murong Zhui Feng?" I asked seriously and solemnly to the furious Golden Cannon.

  "There's a bit of it, unfortunately she's not quite clear-headed." Jin Gang Pao looked slightly dejected.

  "If there's a way to bring her back to consciousness, would you marry her?" I said half-jokingly. Given the current situation, it's not impossible for Murong Zhui Feng to regain consciousness, provided that I can pass the Purple Air Mystic Gate.

  "If she were awake, would she like me?" Jin Gang Pao sighed with a bitter smile. His worries weren't unfounded; if Mu Rong Zhu Feng woke up and found Jin Gang Pao being affectionate towards her, with her temperament, he'd definitely be in for a world of trouble.

  "No matter what happens in the future, one thing is certain. If Murong Zhui Feng doesn't disperse her energy and gather her strength, she only has a little over three months to live." When we first met her, she herself said that she was twenty-three years old, and had been with us for over a month. People who have used the Ling Jing Jue can't live past two hundred years, this is something we've known all along.

  "Lao Yu, although I don't know how to calculate accounts, but I can observe the aura. Look at her main destiny aura is almost exhausted, and I'm not blind..." Jin Gang pointed at the door outside where Mu Rong Zhui Feng was feeding Bai Lang.

  "Old Cow, we can't delay any longer, the remaining time is not much. If we can't reach the main peak of Kunlun within three months, she will surely die." Whether it's Fengdao Ren or Murong Zhui Feng, when they are sober, they both involuntarily guide us to rush to the main peak of Kunlun, presumably there will naturally be a way to save her.

  "Let's go quickly." Jin Gang Pao stood up and walked out of the room, shouting at a few scattered people in the distance "Hey, get your clan leader and Hei San over here, we're leaving!" He had already become familiar with Hei San, who was a nickname he had given him.

  In the blink of an eye, Bai Jiuyao and Hei Sanchang with his staggering footsteps appeared at the door. In fact, there was no need for anyone to spread the word, as Jin Gang's loud voice could be heard by people ten miles away.

  "Are you guys leaving?" Bai Jiuyi's voice was crisp and clear, and when there were many people around, her tone of address would naturally not be as intimate as it was when they were alone.

  "Yes, time is not waiting for us, I won't hide it from you, our trip this time is to find the previous master at the main peak of Kunlun. The time is urgent and cannot be delayed. I hope that the White Clan Chief can guide us out of the mountain path." I stood up with a serious expression. The place where Tu Shan Ling Hu lives has been laid down with some kind of protective array by Da Yu, and without someone to guide the way, it is impossible to leave this area.

  "Bai Jiuyue had already seen the true intention of Zhenren's departure, so she ordered her clansmen to prepare dry rations and travel expenses." Bai Jiuyue said, slightly raising her hand, and two young women came out from behind her, placing the two packages they were holding in front of us, and after a slight bow, retreated. The women of the Tu Shan clan were all beautiful, I didn't dare to look around, pretending not to notice.

  "Thank you for the kindness of the Bai people." As for dry rations, we couldn't be polite, although their noodles weren't very tasty, they were still better than gnawing on bear meat. Along the way, the three of us suffered miserably, but only the white wolf benefited, eating its fill and growing strong and fat.

  "It's unusually cold here, and the crops are not easy to harvest. Our people are not skilled in craftsmanship, so I'll just have to make do." Bai Jiuyi said, her slender body slightly tilted, as she took out a white long gown from beside her wheelchair. "Your Taoist robe is damaged, so I've brought this especially for you."

  I walked forward to take the white long gown from Bai Jiuyi's hand, and after a brief examination, I found that it had golden silk trimmings, was light in my hands, and was not an ordinary object. Because it was folded, I couldn't see its full appearance. "Thank you, White Clan Leader."

  "My clothes are also broken, why don't I have any?" Jin Gang Pao looked at the robe in my hand with fine workmanship and suddenly said so. Bai Jiu Yu was slightly embarrassed for a moment, obviously they hadn't prepared any for him.

  "What's the use of clothes? I have good stuff to give to little brother." Black Three, who was standing aside, suddenly spoke up. His tongue was stiff and his body was tilted, still not sober from drinking.

  Hei San approached Jin Gang Pao, and with a sleight of hand, pulled out two jade bottles from behind his back and handed them to Jin Gang Pao. "There are only three bottles of Amber Wine left, I'll give you two, brother."

  "Are you reading my mind again?" Jin Gang Pao happily grabbed the wine bottle, with a hint of excitement in his tone. What he meant by "reading his mind" was that Hei San Chang had somehow read his thoughts again, or else how would he have known he liked this?

  "The clan leader is in front, how dare I be presumptuous. Moreover, the Tou Shan mind-reading technique greatly injures one's vital energy, unless absolutely necessary, I wouldn't dare to use it arbitrarily." Hei San patted Jin Gang Pao's shoulder very intimately.

  "The head of the White family often says, 'Having come but not gone is impolite.' I also have something to give you." I said, opening my backpack and taking out that book "The Secret Method of Stargazing" and handing it over. This "Secret Method of Stargazing" I had browsed through in my spare time, the book records the secret methods for stargazing and divining the heavens, although the reasoning is ingenious but the language is awkward, I really couldn't muster up the interest to study it again. Moreover, having many skills can also make one easily envied by heaven, giving it to Bai Jiuyue wasn't a bad choice either.

  "Thank you so much," said Bai Jiuyi as she accepted it, placing the book by her side and turning to look at me, her mind clearly not on the book.

  "Here, Hei San, this is for you." Jin Gang Cannon saw that I had brought a gift and felt embarrassed himself. He put the wine bottle into his backpack, pulled out the Dusk Blood and took a look at it, then reluctantly put it back and finally grabbed out his Divine Turtle Cannon.

  "Little brother, can you read minds too?" Hei San Chang was very curious about the guy who had blinded himself, and not afraid, he grabbed him in one go.

  "Something urgent has come up, so I won't keep you here any longer." Bai Jiuyue turned to Hei Sanchang "Third Uncle, since I'm not feeling well, please see the two of them off the mountain. Send them to the foot of the mountain and return immediately, remember."

  "Obeying the elder's order." Hei San Chang was actually quite respectful towards Bai Jiu Yu.

  Bai Jiu Yu led a group of people to see us off at the village entrance, bidding each other farewell...

  Hei San led us left and right, finally sending us to the mountain pass at midnight, and then ran back like escaping.

  "Haha, the old thing still wants to hide its secrets." Jin Gang Cannon looked at the bottle of amber liquor that he had flipped out from Hei San Chang's body with great satisfaction. This guy had searched every inch of him on the way here, almost leaving nothing behind but his hair.

  "What did you say to him in the end?" I asked with a smile. When they parted ways, Jin Gang Pao pulled Hei San Chang aside and whispered for a long time, the old and young pair of them plotting something with sly eyes.

  "I told him our address, let him come and play with us when he's free!" Jin Gang pao burst out laughing.

  "They are the Tu Shan tribe and cannot leave here at will." I tightened my backpack, with a lot of dry rations sent by Bai Jiu Yu, weighing heavily on my shoulders.

  "He also said that, but I told them that their beautiful clan leader likes you, and when the time comes, let you plead for him, hehehe..." Jin Gang Pao's face was full of sly smiles.

  "Hei San Chang, this guy must have a shady background, otherwise Bai Jiu Yu wouldn't have specifically reminded him to send him off at the mountain pass and return immediately. Did he agree to go see you in the end?" I'm still somewhat dissatisfied with Jin Gang Pao's unnecessary meddling.

  "Alright, I'm delighted! I just casually mentioned it, aren't they forbidden from leaving the mountain?" Jin Gang Pao said nonchalantly.

  "Hei San, if you've never been out before, where did the amber liquor in your hand come from?"

  Jin Gang's careless remark had sown the seeds of trouble in the unseen. After the Tu Shan clan returned to their hometown, Hei San Chang surprisingly really came out of the mountains to look for us two, and as soon as he came out, he was detained by the police station for illegal possession of firearms. Those stories will be told later.

  "Big brother, I'm hungry." Murong Zhui Feng suddenly said this as he walked in the middle.

  I reached behind me and pulled out a small bun from my backpack and handed it to her. "Eat slowly, don't choke."

  "Yu Ge, what is this you've given me?" Murong Zhuifeng held the thing I handed over in his hands and looked up at me.

  I lowered my head and grabbed the small bun from her hand, took a look and was shocked: Yuanbao!

  No wonder it was so hard to catch earlier, I thought the Tushan tribe wouldn't cook, and made a dead-faced bun, but after messing around for half a day, it turned out to be Jinyuanbao.

  "Haha, I've struck it rich!" The Golden Cannon, who was walking ahead of me, heard my shout and ran over to open up my backpack. There were dozens of gold bars inside, no wonder it felt so heavy when I was carrying it earlier!

  "Lao Yu, you're done for! That fox spirit really has her eyes on you, and she's even sent over the betrothal gifts..."

  “......”

  A group of travelers journeyed day and night, and after more than ten days, an unexpected situation arose.

  "Old Yu, is it really popular?" The Golden Gun was panting with frost, and the further north they went, the colder it got, with temperatures below minus twenty degrees.

  "It should be a human." I nodded. This morning, on top of a mountain, I pinched my fingers to observe the air and find the way, and unexpectedly found that there was a human aura appearing in front of me about 100 miles away.

  "Are we lost?" The words in my mouth should sound like I didn't say anything at all to Jin Gang.

  "Absolutely not." I'm quite sure of this point, because the direction of the mountain range in front of me is correct, it's just that the gray air column on the map has never been seen.

  "Dragon energy nourishes and transforms external objects, mysterious mist adheres to bones and hides in the shade of the mountain." I furrowed my brow and recited the Road of Inducement once again.

  "Stop muttering to yourself, you've been doing it for days and still can't figure out what it means." Jin Gang Pao walked away impatiently "As long as I don't get lost, I'll see it sooner or later."

  Jīn gāng pào said it was also right, the boat will naturally go straight when it reaches the bridge head, and there must be a road when the car reaches the mountain front. I tightened my backpack and quickly caught up with Jīn gāng pào.

  Walking in the mountains is not comparable to walking on flat ground, a hundred miles in the mountains can be equivalent to two hundred miles on flat ground. We walked for three whole days and still didn't reach our destination. However, the further we went, the more frightened we became. Because we actually found plastic bags blown by the wind and some modern trash that only exists in today's society in the mountains, which left me and Jinkangpa very puzzled.

  At last, when we had climbed a mountain with great effort, the scene that appeared before our eyes left us speechless.

  "How could this be?" I muttered to myself.

  "Lao Yu, I'm convinced by you now, how did your navigation lead us into a trap again and again......"
