Chapter 18 Ghost Face Spider
For the first time to make incense, I made two incense sticks with six materials. Xiao Yu's luck was already very good.
With Xi Yunxiang, Xiao Yu began to prepare for Shangyu Longshan to find the ghost-faced magic spider.
Jiangnan County is flat and rare to see mountains. The highest peak is only more than 1,300 feet, which can be regarded as the largest mountain in Jiangnan County.
Qiulong Mountain is gentle, and the mountain is rich in elixirs, but there are few people who dare to go to Qiulong Mountain to collect medicine. Although Qiulong Mountain is not shrouded in miasma like the residual crow mountain, the poisonous insect monsters in Qiulong Mountain are much more terrible than the residual crow mountain.
Before entering the mountain, Xiao Yu should prepare some commonly used antidote in case of emergency.
After returning to Yanyu City to buy some commonly used antidote, Xiao Yu took a boat to Meizhou City on the opposite bank of Linjiang City.
For the big ship, the speed of going upstream is not much slower than the speed of going down the current, but Xiao Yu, who was sitting on the boat, still felt that the boat was very slow.
It took nearly eight days for Xiao Yu's big boat to travel from Yanyu City to Meizhou City.
When she was on the ship, Xiao Yu always felt insecure, and after getting off the ship, the feeling of insecurity immediately disappeared.
Xiao Yu did not stay in Meizhou City. After getting off the boat, she left Meizhou City directly and headed northwest of Meizhou City.
After walking about 70 or 80 miles to the northwest, Xiao Yu came to Puxi Town, which is less than 30 miles away from Wulong Mountain.
Puxi Town is not small, but there is no inn in the town.
After walking around Puxi Town, Xiao Yu stopped in front of a small farmyard in the west of the town.
There was a six- or seven-year-old boy playing in the courtyard. As soon as he saw Xiao Yu stop at the gate of the yard, the child ran back to the house.
After a while, a 30-year-old man came to the courtyard with the child.
The man looks quite strong, but he is a little short.
After the man walked to the door of the courtyard, Xiao Yu arched her hand and smiled, "Big brother, I'm a passer-by. I wonder if I can stay at your house for one night?"
"Is the prince the people around Longshan?"
"No, I'm from Taichang County."
He looked at Xiao Yu up and down. The man stepped out of his body and said to Xiao Yu, "Son, please come in!"
"Thank you very much!"
Although there was no light in the room, Xiao Yu made the situation in the house clear as soon as she entered the house.
The furnishings in the living room are very simple, with only a table, a dining table, a few chairs and a small cabinet.
"The young man, sit down and wait for a moment. The little one will get you some food."
"Thank you very much!"
After saying thank you, Xiao Yu first took out a piece of broken silver and handed it to the man as the money he borrowed for one night.
Of course, there is nothing good in the poor peasant family. The man prepared for a long time before he made two dishes, a large bowl of porridge and two newly baked dough cakes.
Xiao Yugang picked up the chopsticks and saw the six- or seven-year-old boy staring at a plate of scrambled eggs on the table and swallowing.
Seeing the little boy's greedy face but not daring to lean against the table, Xiao Yu smiled and waved to the little boy.
"Come here, I'll give you this plate of eggs."
The little boy's face was full of movement, but he didn't dare to walk to the table.
"Son, we have had dinner. Poor people can't eat after dinner."
When Xiao Yu heard the words, she looked at the man and smiled and said, "I also come from a poor family. People who know that poor families usually only eat two meals. This child must not have enough to eat. Just let him come and eat! A meal can't be a bad habit.
The man looked at Xiao Yu, then at the greedy little boy, and whispered, "Thank you, son!"
Seeing that the man agreed, the little boy moved to the table step by step.
After picking up the chopsticks and carefully putting an egg on the plate and stuffing it into his mouth, the little boy jumped to the man like a rabbit.
Seeing the little boy retreating in a hurry, Xiao Yu couldn't help thinking that he saw the little boy who gave him osmanthus cake in Yancheng.
In the day after Xiao Ni'er's disappearance, Xiao Yu's consciousness was a little unconscious, but when he was completely conscious, the many things that day became one of the most memorable things for him.
When Xiao Yu came to his senses from his memory, the little boy was no longer in the living room.
Seeing Xiao Yu coming to his senses, the man smiled and said, "Son, eat slowly, and the small one will clean up the place for you."
"Please!"
Xiao Yu quickly ate the two dough cakes and the plate of radishes, but did not move the plate of eggs.
Although the bedding prepared by the man for Xiao Yu has a lot of patches, it is very clean. It should be what they are going to cover when it is coldest.
Xiao Yu did not spread out the quilt and meditated until the next morning.
Poor people usually get up late in winter, but with Xiao Yu, the guest of lodging, the man got up early.
After washing Xiao Yu's face, the man went to prepare breakfast for Xiao Yu.
Breakfast is the same as yesterday's dinner, but the man also heated the plate of scrambled eggs that Xiao Yu didn't eat last night.
Xiao Yu still ate the dough cakes and radishes as well as yesterday.
After taking a sip of the cold porridge in the big bowl, Xiao Yu looked at the man and asked, "Has this big brother ever been to Wulong Mountain?"
The man was slightly stunned and did not answer Xiao Yu's words, but asked, "Is the prince going to Qilong Mountain?"
"Uh-huh!"
Seeing Xiao Yu nodding, the man thought for a moment and muttered, "The little one has been to Qilong Mountain, but he has only collected some common medicinal herbs at the edge."
Xiao Yu nodded, picked up the big bowl, and then began to drink porridge.
After drinking the porridge in the bowl, Xiao Yu was ready to leave.
Looking at the door with the grass curtain hanging on the right, Xiao Yu hesitated for a moment and shouted at the room, "Brother, thank you for your hospitality. I'm saying goodbye."
As soon as Xiao Yu's voice fell, the man who had just entered the room opened the grass curtain and came out.
"Sir, the black-headed flower in this sachet has the effect of preventing insects. If you take it into Qilong Mountain, some common poisonous insects will not harass you."
After taking over the strange smell of the sachet, Xiao Yu hesitated for a while and asked, "How much does this sachet cost?"
"What kind of money does this cost? The black-headed flowers inside are very common on the edge of Qilong Mountain.
Seeing the simple smile on the man's face, Xiao Yu warmed her heart and arched her hand and said, "Thank you very much!"
After leaving Puxi Town, Xiao Yu walked 27 or 28 miles to the west and came to the foot of Wulong Mountain.
The reason why Yulong Mountain is called Yulong Mountain is not because there is Yulong in Yulong Mountain, but because the whole mountain is shaped like a Yulong.
The winding Yulong Mountain is nearly 700 miles long, and the widest part is only 37 or 87 miles. The highest peak in the mountain, Longjiao Peak, is located at the northwest end of the mountain.
From the inheritance of Xia Yunchuan, Xiao Yu knew that Xi Yunxiang could lead the ghost-faced magic spider to spit out its own spider silk, and also knew that there were ghost-faced magic spiders in Qilong Mountain, but he did not know where there was a ghost-faced magic spider in Qilong Mountain.
"The spider silk of the ghost-faced magic spider is much stronger than ordinary spider silk. As long as you find the spider silk left by the ghost-faced magic spider in Yulong Mountain, you should be able to find the ghost-faced magic spider."
While thinking about it, Xiao Yu walked towards Jiulong Mountain.
At this time, there was not much green on Wulong Mountain, and the ground was covered with withered yellow leaves.
In Xiao Yu's mind, the sachet given to him by the farmer's man had no effect. Therefore, he walked very carefully on the ground full of dead leaves. However, after walking for more than half an hour without encountering any pest harassment, he had to pay attention to the sachet.
"Who says that good people don't get a good reward?"
Touching the sachet around her waist, Xiao Yu smiled and then walked towards the depths of Wulong Mountain.
If you don't see a spider web, Xiao Yu will stop to have a look.
In the blink of an eye, a day passed, and the spider webs that Xiao Yu saw could not have been left by ghost-faced spiders.
The poisonous insects in Wulong Mountain are more terrible than the poisonous insects in Cangya Mountain. Xiao Yu dares not make a fire in Qilong Mountain.
When the night was about to fall, Xiao Yu walked out of the dragon mountain along the way into the mountain.
There are many streams in the mountains of Qilong Mountain, and the surroundings of Qilong Mountain are no exception.
After catching a few fish in the stream on the south side of Qilong Shandong to fill his stomach, Xiao Yu sat on a big stone by the stream, closed her eyes and began to push down on the three secret skills in the "Inflame Heart Secret" and the Great Tibetan Sutra.
Xiao Yu actually wanted to refine the nameless magic skill, but she was worried that the murderous spirit in the nameless magic skill would affect him. Therefore, he could only suppress his curiosity about the nameless magic skill for the time being.
After the child, Xiao Yu began to practice the "Jiuyang True Body Secret" and "Flame Secret".
The next morning, Xiao Yu used "Jinwu Breathing" to absorb the first Tianyang qi emitted by the morning sun, and then went into the mountain to look for the ghost-faced magic spider.
The ghost-faced magic spider is much bigger than ordinary spiders, but it is only the size of an ordinary basin. It is not easy to find a ghost-faced magic spider in Qilong Mountain.
Xiao Yu spent more than half a month in Qilongshan, but she didn't get anything.
On this day, Xiao Yu had just come down from Longshan, and snowflakes floated in the sky.
Jiangnan County is different from Taikang County. Even if it snows, there is little snow on the ground.
"If only this snow were a little bigger!"
He turned around and took a look at Yulong Mountain, and Xiao Yu's eyes were full of expectation.
The snowflake will immediately turn into water when it falls to the ground, but it will not fall on the cobweb.
Although the snowflakes are extremely light, as long as there is one more time, it is enough to break the ordinary cobwebs.
Those immortals and demons in the cave may have a way to make the snow in a place bigger, but Xiao Yu doesn't have the ability. The first snow in winter in Jiangnan County only stopped in less than half an hour.
Although Xiao Yu was slightly disappointed, the next morning, he walked towards the dragon mountain at the same time.
For the next eight days, Xiao Yu looked forward to the snow every day, but did not expect the snow to come.
She didn't look forward to the snow, but Xiao Yu found the spider silk left by the ghost-faced spider.
After finding a cobweb with much tougher than ordinary spider silk at the mouth of a small valley, Xiao Yu saw many strong cobwebs in the valley one after another.
"There should be a ghost-faced magic spider in this small valley!"
Xiao Yu carefully searched in the valley, both excited and very nervous.
