Blue, Red and White Dark Abyss Cauldron

Chapter 299 Go Find a Mountain

When Chu Xiaomu saw Huang Jieshi's slightly exaggerated expression, he was very disapproving. He thought that although this guy was one of the three great men in the four countries, he was a little weird. He didn't know whether he was really capable or just exaggerating. Things like "Can Bicheng be preserved?" and "Can Cangmu Country be preserved?" were too alarmist.

I thought again, but if a rare starburst really appeared in the western sky three days later, I could barely believe him, because such a celestial phenomenon is extremely rare, not to mention predictable.

While he was daydreaming, Huang Jieshi suddenly turned to him, bowed deeply, and said, "I was a little anxious just now, so my words were quite disrespectful. I hope you don't take it as an offense, little brother Chu."

Chu Xiaomu thought to himself that you are one of the three great strange men in the four countries, and you really have a very strange temper. You just scolded me, and now you bowed respectfully to apologize. I am just an unknown boy, why do I need a big shot like you to apologize to me?

He hurriedly said: "It's the boy who is ignorant, how dare he blame the master."

Huang Jieshi said, "It's good that you don't blame me. It's good that you don't blame me." He paused and continued, "But Wang Mo also has something to say to Brother Chu..."

"Sir, please speak."

"The Nanding army will march south soon. Little brother, please find a place called Bujian Peak in the Beast Mountain as soon as possible." After a pause, he continued, "But you must not use the spirit-asking technique, otherwise you will offend the spirits above and it will be difficult to accomplish great things. Remember this."

"why?"

"Even Wangmo can't see that far, please forgive me."

"Where is this 'Bu Jian Feng' approximately?"

Huang Jieshi shook his head and said, "Even Wang Mo doesn't know."

Chu Xiaomu was very surprised and thought, since you don't know why you are looking for that 'Invisible Peak' and you don't know where it is, then what's the point of me looking for it? Besides, there are at least 8,000 peaks of all sizes in the Beast Mountain. Even if you can find it by yourself, it may take two or three years. You want me to find it as soon as possible. Isn't this asking too much?

Huang Jieshi said: "The God Horse Cheng Huang chose me, and everyone in Wangmo thought that I was the strange man in the rumors. But after a closer look, there was no indication in the strange vision. The reason may be that my astronomical geomancy skills have not been perfected, or that the ancient prophecy is ultimately illusory... Nothing is certain."

After hearing what Huang Jieshi said, Jinglan looked at Chu Xiaomu in shock, unable to believe it.

Chu Xiaomu smiled and said, "If I really am an alien, I would be a cowardly and incompetent alien."

Huang Jieshi frowned and said seriously: "This matter is closely related to the lives of the people in the world, and it is not a joke."

Chu Xiaomu didn't dare to laugh anymore.

Huang Jieshi finally said: "Do you two remember what I said?"

Chu Xiaomu and Jinglan both nodded and said they remembered.

Huang Jieshi looked at the sky and said, "Okay, I should go now." Without saying goodbye to the two of them, he turned around and walked back in the direction he came from, his figure gradually disappearing.

The two were extremely surprised, because it turned out that Huang Jieshi, who was talking to them, was just a shadow all along.

Chu Xiaomu and Jinglan were both worried. After chatting for a while, they led their horses over and prepared to return to the city.

Qisheng came over with a bunch of beautiful red and yellow flowers in his mouth. He gently put the flowers into Chu Xiaomu's hand and called to Jinglan a few times, as if asking him to give the flowers to Jinglan.

Chu Xiaomu carefully held the flower to Jinglan and stammered, "Master Huang said...he said that if Cheng Huang told us to eat something, we...we must eat it..."

Jinglan was puzzled and asked, "What is Chenghuang? What is it that we must eat?"

Chu Xiaomu said: "Qisheng is Chenghuang, also known as the Shenma. Huang Jieshi told me before that if it gives me something to eat, I must eat it. This flower is given to you by Chenghuang... Oh! You are not an animal, why would it let you eat this flower?!"

Jinglan was originally full of worries and was feeling unhappy. Suddenly, she heard Chu Xiaomu's joke and couldn't help but burst out laughing. She said, "Are you sure it wants me to eat this bouquet of flowers?"

Chu Xiaomu was at a loss, snatched the flower from Jinglan's hand, and said, "Let me ask it again... Why did this guy let you eat flowers? Can you eat flowers randomly?"

Qisheng glared with his round eyes, buried his head and arched his back, and suddenly knocked Chu Xiaomu onto his back. Chu Xiaomu didn't understand why, so he hugged his neck and turned over to lie on Qisheng's back.

Although Qisheng is small in age, he is quite strong and can easily withstand Chu Xiaomu's weight. However, he has never been ridden by anyone since he was a child. When he saw this guy, who usually played with him, climbed onto his back, he immediately jumped around wildly and threw Chu Xiaomu off the horse in a few seconds.

Jinglan giggled when she saw this strange and funny scene.

Chu Xiaomu shouted at Qisheng, "I won't listen to you this time. Although these flowers are beautiful, you can't eat them carelessly!" However, Qisheng still made a gesture as if he was ready to hit him, as if he was unwilling to let him go.

Jinglan smiled and said, "Will it just ask you to give me the flowers instead of letting me eat them?"

Chu Xiaomu suddenly realized what was going on. He slapped his forehead and said, "Damn it, damn it, I got it all wrong." He handed the bouquet to Jinglan and said, "It was... Qisheng who asked me to give it to you, but it wasn't... it wasn't me..."

Jinglan's face instantly turned red to the root of her neck, and she whispered: "Since you don't want to give it to me, why should I... accept it?"

Chu Xiaomu was extremely embarrassed and stood there at a loss as to what to do.

Jinglan gently led the two horses over and said, "Let's go back. If father can't find me, he will be worried again." She mounted the horse and galloped towards the east gate of Bicheng.

After parting with Jinglan, Chu Xiaomu thought that he could take this opportunity to visit Yang Dou, so he rode his horse to the general's tent.

Chu Xiaomu met the imperial guards outside the tent several times and asked them about Yang Dou's residence.

The sergeant asked, "Are you talking about Young Brother Yang?"

Chu Xiaomu said, "It's the guy with a pointy face, two sharp front teeth like rat teeth, and squinting eyes."

The soldier laughed and said, "That must be Young Brother Yang. Unfortunately, the general took him to the Water Desolate Forest early in the morning."

Chu Xiaomu asked: "When will they come back?"

The sergeant said, "I don't know about that. Maybe half a day, maybe two or three days. The general is really good to Young Brother Yang."

Chu Xiaomu couldn't see Yang Dou, so he had to return to the military tent dejectedly.
