Volume 7: Frost Chapter 68: Moon Viewing
Jiang You and Zhang Xianren were chatting idly.
The sky gradually darkened.
Suddenly, the rabbit shook its ears and jumped backwards.
Tang Butian saw Jiang Mo stand up, turn around, bend down and pick up the rabbit, and a hint of dark red seemed to flash in his eyes.
It turned out that the fog had dissipated.
Footsteps.
It was Jiang You who walked down the steps and out of the pavilion carrying his backpack.
Just as Zhong Minghong was about to move forward, Zhang Xianren called out to him, "Minghong, it's getting late. Let Xiao Tang take the guests to rest."
After saying this, he flicked his sleeves and disappeared into the mountains.
Zhong Minghong glanced in the direction of Jiang You and Tang Butian, gave Tang Butian a few words of advice, and then left with Wang Jin.
The shadow twisted in the grass, spread over the tips of her shoes, and gradually squeezed out the light on her body.
The mountain wind is howling.
Jiang You reached out and brushed away a strand of hair that was stuck to her cheek.
Tang Butian turned her head and asked, "What did you do?"
"I didn't do anything. I just talked about my requirements for the living environment and asked if I could bring some pets down the mountain. I was rejected," Jiang You sighed. "What are we having for dinner?"
Tang Butian pursed her lips.
"I don't think it's..." Jiang You felt the wind direction, "Maybe it's really northwest wind."
"There are fasting pills."
“Is this what you eat in the mountains?”
"If you need to eat, the commander will prepare it. Once you are independent, you will be responsible for it yourself."
"Sweet? Bigu Pills."
“It’s a bit sweet.”
"Try two first."
"At my home." Tang Butian raised his leg and walked down the mountain.
"Can't you teleport?" Jiang You shouted behind her.
"cannot."
"Where are the cranes? Are there no cranes at all?" Jiang You was a little desperate.
"You're afraid of heights."
"I can take off my glasses. It's so dark and my myopia is so severe. I can't see anything when I take them off. I'm not afraid of heights anymore."
Tang Butian stopped.
Jiang You took two steps forward and said, "On the mountain, the strong are respected. If this is the rule, then if I come to live on the mountain, wouldn't that mean I'm the king of the mountain? Neither Zhang Xianren Zhong, the head of the mountain , nor you would be happy about it, right?"
He looked at Tang Butian's slender back, "I'm not happy about it either. In fact, the threats we can see are nothing. If we know who the enemy is, where they are, and what they have done, we can always find a way to deal with them. If we can't solve it in a short time, we can use various means to delay it. In the end, we can't tell whether we were destroyed by the other party or our luck has run out. The truly fatal threat is the threat beyond our ability. Before the moment of destruction, we are not even aware of it, and naturally there is no way to deal with it..."
Tang Butian turned around and said, "You beat Zhang Xianren."
Her tone was certain.
"Forget it. If we really have to fight," Jiang You thought about it seriously, "I can't win."
"You're not going to be the king of the mountain anymore?"
"Am I good at chatting? Immortal Zhang is quite reasonable. I explained the truth to him..."
As soon as he finished speaking, he saw Tang Butian waving towards the distance. Soon three cranes flew over and landed beside Tang Butian.
Jiang You asked: "Aren't there no cranes on the main peak?"
"It was arranged by Manager Zhong."
"Okay, then when we get there, can we stew it on the way? Or have a barbecue by the waterfall?"
“…”
"Forget it, it's definitely not delicious. The little animals here don't look delicious," Jiang You put on his backpack again and walked to Tang Butian. "They also want to practice, and they want to break through from time to time. From a biological point of view, this or that hormone needs to burst out, and the result is a fishy smell. In an era when immortals are flying around, there can still be a few gifted immortal chefs who can turn the fishy smell into deliciousness..."
"Not now?" Tang Butian asked.
"It's difficult. The ecosystem has to be complex enough, that is, no matter if they are talented or not, practitioners can get something from their practice, and ordinary people can also get something from it. Everyone gets what they need. In such an ecosystem, there will be all kinds of possibilities and accidents. Now is the age of humans. We should wait until we can go down the mountain and find those small animals that are specially raised, that don't work, don't reproduce, and are born just to grow tender and delicious meat."
The three cranes suddenly took a step back together.
Jiang Mo walked closer holding the rabbit.
Tang Butian sat on the crane lightly. After taking off, the crane circled the main peak half a circle and then flew towards her mountain top.
Then Jiang Mo sat on the crane, holding the rabbit, and flew away from Jiang You, his wings almost hitting Jiang You in the face.
Jiang You sighed.
The cranes left for him were the strongest.
Sit down.
Fly up.
He saw Tang Butian in front of him turning her head to look at him, the wind ruffled her hair, and her face illuminated by the moonlight collided into his eyes, smooth and clear, as if he could count the number of eyelashes.
The crane under him shook a little. He looked down, then closed his eyes, grabbed the crane's neck, and bumped all the way back to Tang Butian's hilltop.
When he arrived, he sat down on the ground, panting and saying, "I, I will never ride a crane again, I..."
He heard some noises.
He reached out and grabbed a porcelain bottle. He looked up and saw Tang Butian standing not far away.
He unscrewed the porcelain bottle and poured out two brown balls. After looking at them for a long time, he made up his mind and stuffed them into his mouth.
Not sweet.
There is no taste, it's like chewing a candle.
He lay down.
The illusory moonlight enveloped him, and he said, "Do you know where the moon, the stars, and the entire night sky come from?"
Tang Butian sat down next to him, "Where did you come from?"
Jiang You said: "It is a projection of the present world."
"so."
"I built a box similar to this."
"You did."
"It's beautiful, but it's just beautiful."
"Where are you now?"
"It's gone, broken. There's only a place to sleep, which is probably gone now. There's also a broken fish tank," Jiang You pulled a handful of grass beside him, "The laws contained in the fish tank are incomplete. The laws that he comprehended from it are somehow between existence and non-existence. This is my guess. So after he came here, the people on the mountain, including Zhuang Zekun, couldn't catch him. To some extent, he is not restricted by the laws of heaven."
"What's going on with Meng Yuanbai?"
"Xie Dong must have sensed something before he died. He may not remember everything, but he left the key behind," Jiang You threw the grass in his hand aside, "The small piece of paper with the names of Meng Yuanbai and Luo Zhen is the key."
He turned his head to look at Tang Butian, "After the body is sent back to the mountain, I plan to find an opportunity to destroy it completely. I need your sword."
Tang Butian was a little confused, so she asked, "Why?"
"It has been studied for too long. The ecology at the foot of the mountain is complex enough. Who knows, there might be some weirdos who have comprehended something strange. But at the same time, it is at the foot of the mountain and is restricted by the laws of nature. And here..." Jiang You smiled and sat up with his hands on the ground. "This is just a beautiful and fragile box. Thousands of demons sacrificed themselves to send it to the world, so there must be thousands of demons waiting for rewards."
