Don't be afraid, fairy, I'm blind

Chapter 235 Brother, You Smell So Good (5k)

The night wind is blowing gently. Without the lights of the world, the stars and the moon in the sky are even more dazzling and bright. Under the reflection of the Milky Way, it seems that it is not yet dark.

Lingxu Mountains are located in the north of Zhongyuan Continent and are the largest mountain range in the north of Zhongyuan Continent.

It stretches across this majestic land, blocking the thousand-year-old cold wind blowing from Beiaozhou, so that the climate in the center of Zhongyuanzhou is not affected by Beiaozhou. It is known as the northern gate of Zhongyuanzhou.

The snow accumulated on the tops of the Lingxu Mountains melted and merged into a long and flowing river, the Lingxu River, which fed the people in countless cities. The Quhuai River in Moye City, far away in the southern end of Zhongyuanzhou, is a branch of the Lingxu River, which shows its far-reaching influence.

Just at this moment, a ripple passed by, and a gorgeous fairy boat dotted with five-colored luminous pearls slowly descended from the sky and landed on the wide and turbulent Lingxu River.

After three days, You Su, riding on He Kongyue's boat, finally arrived at the foot of Lingxu Mountains.

In this vast river reflecting the starry sky, Ye Xianzhou is like a star in the sea of ​​stars, blending into it.

On the deck of the fairy boat, He Kongyue leaned against the fence. He looked around with bright eyes, touched by the ethereal and magnificent natural beauty, and couldn't help but sigh:
"If you ask me, the night view of Lingxu River is one of the five blessed places for spiritual life in the five continents!"

The reason why Lingsheng Blessed Land is famous is not only because it has unique conditions for cultivation, but also because every blessed land has unforgettable beauty, which is the beauty that truly belongs to nature and the wonders of heaven.

"If it becomes a blessed place for spiritual life, it may not be so beautiful anymore."

You Su could not see the beautiful scenery and could not empathize with He Kongyue.

But he had been to the Yuhuan Pool, which was considered to be the most beautiful among the eleven blessed places for spiritual life. He knew that a blessed place meant there would be people, and when there were too many people, the natural beauty would be destroyed.

He Kongyue glanced at You Su and felt that the boy's lifeless eyes seemed somewhat deep, as if beyond his age.

"Brother You is right... Indeed, many sects want to relocate to the Lingxu River. Although the cultivation resources here are not as good as those in Lingsheng Paradise, they are better than most areas in Zhongyuan Continent. But no sect has been able to establish a sect here so far because of the obstruction of Henggao Divine Mountain. This river is the foundation for many people to survive. If it is controlled by some people with ulterior motives, the consequences will be disastrous. Instead of doing this, it is better to leave it to nature..."

"Eh?! No! Brother You, why are you taking off your clothes?!"

He Kongyue was leisurely telling the story about Lingxu River when she suddenly caught a glimpse of You Su taking off his clothes and was stunned.

"Brother He described the Lingxu River as so beautiful, but I can't see it. What a pity."

You Su answered while taking off his clothes.

"No, what does your not being able to see have to do with you taking off your clothes?"

He Kongyue frowned, tilted his head slightly, and his eyes flickered.

"I can't see it, but I can touch it." You Su said matter-of-factly, "I finally came here, how can I not experience it?"

"Are you going to jump in and take a shower?!" He Kongyue glanced at You Su's strong chest in disbelief.

When You Su was at Lotus Peak, there was a large bathhouse, so he took a comfortable hot bath every day. Bathing and relaxing every day became a habit for him.

But sitting on the pleasure boat, either practicing meditation or chatting with a man named He Kongyue, there was no place to take a shower, and I felt uncomfortable all over. How could I resist swimming in a natural river when I came across it?

"Warm springs are comfortable, but this natural ice spring is also a rare experience. In the cold winter, taking an ice bath can actually invigorate blood circulation and invigorate the spirit. Brother He, why don't you join us?"

As You Su spoke, his hand reached up to the last pair of underwear left on his body.

He Kongyue's pupils widened, and he hurriedly stopped her:

"Brother You, you can't do that! You are not exposed to the wind or sweat on the pleasure boat, and you are not dirty at all. Why do you want to take a bath?"

You Su smiled and said, "Taking a bath doesn't necessarily mean washing away the dirt on your body, it can also be a pleasure. I'm not lying, Brother He, taking an ice bath occasionally can really be a novel experience, you can give it a try."

As soon as he finished speaking, You Su pulled down a corner of his underwear, revealing half of his buttocks.

He Kongyue had a wonderful expression, clapped his hands and shouted:

"no!"

You Su was so frightened that he stopped moving and asked, "Brother He, what's wrong?"

He Kongyue coughed twice before speaking in a serious tone:

"The water of Lingxu River is the lifeblood of many people. If you bathe here, aren't you polluting other people's water sources? This is inappropriate! As cultivators, we should still have some sense of public morality."

You Su felt embarrassed when he heard this, and quickly pulled up his underwear:
"Brother He is teaching me that I was confused for a moment."

He Kongyue felt relieved and nodded to show his praise for You Su's repentance. Because he was facing You Su, he took a casual glance and saw that there was an elephant's head embroidered in the crotch of You Su's underwear.

? ?
No, are you a three-year-old?!
You Su didn't know that this was Ji Lingruo's little trick when she packed his clothes. She stayed indoors not to sleep, but to embroider You Su's underwear.

What I want is that if You Su meets a female cultivator who throws herself into his arms outside, she will probably lose all interest in him once she sees the embroidery under his crotch.

Before He Kongyue could recover from the shock brought by You Su's eccentricity, You Su took the lead and said:
"Brother He, I have an unwelcome request."

"What's the matter?" He Kongyue frowned.

"Is your colorful cloud boat waterproof?"

"Flying magic weapons are bound to face thunderstorms, so they are naturally waterproof and electrical," He Kongyue explained.

"Okay, then I won't wash in the river. I can just fetch water from the river to wash..."

You Su still couldn't let go of his obsession with washing.

He Kongyue gritted his teeth, took a deep breath, and then said calmly:

"Brother You, please move as fast as possible. Don't... catch a cold."

After saying this, He Kongyue turned away and turned around.

"Brother He, are you really not going to take a shower? Hey, where are you going? Is it inappropriate to take a shower on your colorful cloud boat? If you don't want to, just say so. Don't make it difficult for me!"

He Kongyue had already jumped ashore and curled his lips when he heard this:
"I'm just going to check out the surroundings. Don't worry, Brother You, just wash. I'm not that particular!"

"Brother He is so generous..."

You Su looked in the direction where He Kongyue left and nodded with emotion.

Little did he know that even He Kongyue himself had never taken a bath on this beloved magical weapon.

……

The Lingxu Mountains are steep, with towering ancient trees on the mountainside. The streams in the mountains are gurgling, and the sound of water on the rocks is as melodious as the sound of stringed instruments. There are exotic flowers and plants everywhere in the mountains, and the fragrance is refreshing. The spiritual energy here is rich and ethereal, as if it is the back garden of the gods, full of mystery and beauty.

Two men were walking together on the mountain trail. The leader wore a square scarf and dressed like a weak scholar, looking frail. The man following closely had a full beard and was wearing a fur coat made of tiger skin, looking rough and tough.

The two unfamiliar faces were naturally He Kongyue and You Su in disguise.

He Kongyue's Caiyun Boat has the function of isolating observation, and thanks to this, the two of them can travel north unimpeded without being noticed by the many cultivators who are also rushing to the Lingxu Mountains, thus avoiding a lot of trouble.

"Brother He, is it really necessary to disguise yourself?"

You Su touched his beard, still feeling a little uncomfortable.

He Kongyue didn't look back, and focused on the road:

"When you go out, it's always better to be more cautious."

"Oh……"

You Su is blind and cannot see others, so he naturally does not care much about how others see him. Therefore, he naturally has no habit of going out in disguise, which is quite like "covering one's ears and stealing the bell".

The cave of Master Dongxu is extremely difficult to find. Without the mysterious Qi that comes out of the cave as a guide, it is like looking for a needle in a haystack in this vast mountain range.

But we must not slack off in our exploration because the closer we are to the final destination, the greater our chances of seizing the opportunity.

However, treasure hunting is a technical job. The Lingbao Sect is famous for its Nine Palaces and Eight Diagrams and Feng Shui and physiognomy, and the twelfth peak of the Xuanxiao Sect is also a fairy peak dedicated to practicing treasure hunting secrets. After all, treasure hunting is a huge source of resources for cultivators.

You Su is blind and doesn't know any method of treasure hunting, so he can only pretend to follow the knowledgeable He Kongyue and wander around.

He Kongyue suddenly stopped, bent down and knocked on the stone pestle in front of him, and tilted his head to listen to the movement. Because of the large range of bending, the lower robe was tight, without even a wrinkle, outlining a full of tension curve.

You Su couldn't see the details, but his spiritual sense could already sweep out the general outline. He secretly admired in his heart: Brother He's lower body is extremely stable. Even if he is not a sword practitioner, he must have studied martial arts diligently.

He Kongyue naturally didn't know what You Su was thinking. After knocking, he looked disappointed and shook his head:
"Still wrong."

You Su has not contributed much, so he can only provide emotional value:
"If this opportunity was so easy to find, the treasures buried in the ground would have been dug up long ago, so how could it be our turn? Brother He, you've been searching for a whole day, why don't you take a break and continue tomorrow?"

He Kongyue stood up, looked at the sky which was gradually getting darker, and decided to give up.

They had just arrived at the Lingxu Mountains last night, and had gone up the mountain to explore this morning. There was no way they could go down the mountain to rest and start all over again tomorrow. If they waited until dark, it would be difficult to find a place to stay.

"That's fine too."

He Kongyue nodded. Seeing You Su leaning against the tree trunk leisurely, he was immediately furious. "Brother You, there should be a cave behind this stone pestle. Let's move all the stones away and rest inside tonight."

You Su understood what he meant, and he no longer felt comfortable letting He Kongyue take action, so he said:

"Brother He, don't move. You are a weak scholar and I am a rough and savage man. I can do the stone moving alone. You have to live up to the character's character."

Having said that, You Su started moving the stones obediently.

Gradually, the outline of a cave began to emerge.

A faint fragrance wafted through the dusty air in the cave. He Kongyue took a deep breath and said with a surprised expression:
"I didn't expect there would be such a pleasant surprise! Brother You, let's go in!"

You Su also smelled the strange fragrance and hurriedly followed He Kongyue's footsteps.

He Kongyue took out a luminous pearl from his Qiankun bag, and the dim cave instantly became bright.

He Kongyue focused his eyes and saw the source of the faint fragrance - a small grass with tender white palm-shaped compound leaves.

The noble young man seemed extremely excited to see it, and trotted over to the grass in a few steps.

"Brother He, what is this?"

"If I'm not mistaken, it should be the White Leaf Ginseng."

You Su also learned about white-leafed ginseng in the Hehuan Gong volume. It is a very precious medicinal material.

Most common white ginsengs are water ginsengs, except for the white leaf spiritual ginseng. It grows in the soil, but its stems, leaves and flesh are all white. Because it is white in color, it is different from ordinary spiritual plants. It is very afraid of light and high temperature, so it often grows in the dark places in the mountains.

Thanks to this, the white leaf ginseng has a strong yin energy and is a rare yin-nourishing medicine. Some alchemists even refine it into an aphrodisiac to treat sexual indifference...

However, even if this thing is rare, it would not be enough for He Kongyue to treat it as a treasure. Such a thing that can be bought should not be considered a treasure to him, not to mention that he is a man who has no use for the White Leaf Ginseng.

Presumably, this rich kid from a top wealthy family was more excited about the novel experience of getting unexpected surprises during his travels than encountering the White Leaf Ginseng itself.

"It seems that the heaven is watching over you. Seeing your hard work, Brother He is being rewarded."

You Su wiped the dust off the surrounding stones and sat down. He didn't want to compete with He Kongyue for this thing, after all, even this cave was found by the other party.

"It's only been one day since I last saw you. Heaven is too merciful." He Kongyue smiled and sat on the ground, not caring about the dust on his elegant scholar's clothes. "White leaf ginseng usually takes seventy years to mature, and it grows a leaf every ten years. This ginseng only has six leaves, so we can't take it away."

"Brother He, remember this location and come back to pick it when it's ripe, right?"

He Kongyue shook his head: "There are rocks piled outside the cave entrance and a stone bed inside the cave. This spiritual ginseng must have an owner. I guess a snow bear with nascent spiritual awareness discovered this spiritual ginseng and built this place as its hibernation residence, waiting to harvest this spiritual ginseng."

"Look at the dust on the stone and the stone wall outside the door. I'm afraid the snow bear hasn't been here for a long time. Maybe it died outside a long time ago."

What You Su meant was to persuade He Kongyue that this spiritual ginseng might be ownerless and he could take it if he wanted.

"This isn't the only place a bear can live. How do you know it's dead?"

He Kongyue is not greedy at all.

You Su secretly laughed: "Brother He is really a man of high moral character. He even agreed with a spirit beast he has never met before, that it should be served first."

He Kongyue raised his eyebrows, thinking that You Su was sincerely praising him.

The two of them continued to chat around the white leaf ginseng. As the sky gradually darkened, the cave became deeper and deeper. Fortunately, with He Kongyue's night-shining pearl for lighting, they didn't need to look for firewood to make a fire, which saved a lot of effort.

But the altitude here is high, it is winter, and it is in the northern part of the continent, so the cave is too cold.

Even with You Su's physique, he couldn't help but put on an extra layer of thick clothes.

He Kongyue saw You Su pretending to be fierce and vigorous, but he could still put on more clothes by himself. He found the contrast so funny that he couldn't help laughing out loud.

He rummaged in his Qiankun bag again, took out a red down blanket and said:
"I'm giving you this blanket made from the feathers of the Lihuo Crane from Nanyangzhou. By the way, remember not to wrap it too tightly, as it will make you sweat easily."

Speaking of sweating in the mountains in winter, what a niche word it is...

No merit, no reward. How could You Su have the nerve to ask for it?

"Brother He, you should keep this treasure for yourself. I'll go out and find some firewood to make a fire, and it will warm you up."

Unexpectedly, He Kongyue smiled and said, "This is what I usually use to wipe my feet. It's not a treasure at all. If you don't mind, you can use it."

"..."

If You Su hadn't felt it was impolite, he would have thrown away the fire blanket long ago.

He Kongyue couldn't help laughing when she saw You Su's tangled look:
"Don't be nervous, Brother You. I usually throw away these foot towels after use. This one is new and has not been used yet."

You Su knew that the other party was teasing him on purpose, so he didn't bother to continue being polite, "Thank you, Brother He."

You Su sighed in his heart, the gap between the rich and the poor in this world is too big, such a magical blanket is just a disposable foot cloth in the eyes of others...

Don't mention it, rich people's foot towels are all fragrant, You Su almost said:
Brother, you smell so good...

Not only that, He Kongyue took out a lot of food from the Qiankun bag, including a wide variety of rare foods such as yak jerky from Beiaozhou and dried small silver dragon fish from Nanyangzhou.

You Su pinched the matcha cake he bought from Xuanxiao Sect's Guyueju and actually felt like a country bumpkin who had never seen the world.

He Kongyue tried to suppress his smile. This was not him deliberately showing off his wealth, this was just his daily routine. Fortunately, he was very alert and took a piece of matcha cake from the oil paper bag in front of You Su and put it in his mouth.

As he tasted it, he nodded:
"Hmm... I didn't expect that the snacks used for entertainment in this restaurant would actually have a unique flavor..."

In his opinion, this matcha cake is not even a proper dessert...

"It's delicious. Come on! Brother You, try mine too."

He Kongyue ate You Su's food first, so naturally he had a reason to share the food with You Su.

You Su saw through his thoughts and could only shake his head helplessly. He felt more and more that being able to make friends with a rich second-generation man was something worth secretly rejoicing about.

But before he could put the meaty yak jerky into his mouth, He Kongyue's handsome face suddenly became serious:
"somebody is coming."

When You Su heard this, he immediately held his breath and concentrated.

Sure enough, there were rustling footsteps on the mountain path outside the cave, and faint voices of conversation were heard:

"Junior Sister Fu, it is very dangerous to find a way at night. Why don't we find a cave to rest for the night and continue tomorrow."

"Alas... this is the only way. But Senior Brother Huo, it's so dark at night. Where can we find a cave? Otherwise, we can just stay in the tree for the night."

"How can that be possible? Junior Sister Fu is a beautiful girl, how can I treat you unfairly? Isn't there a cave right here?"

"Ah? But the light is on. I'm afraid there are already monks resting inside? I just want to be with Brother Huo. I don't want to squeeze in with others..."

"Isn't this easy? Can't I just ask the fellow Taoists inside to leave?"

After he finished speaking, the pile of stones that You Su had piled up at the door to protect against wild beasts was smashed to pieces.
