Qingling Punishing Heart

Chapter 245
The three of them followed the sedan chair team for a long distance, and a city gradually came into view.

The guards in front reined in, turned off their horses one by one, and began to rest on the spot.

Su Ji said to the two people beside him: "Let's take a rest too, we have been walking for two hours."

The three quickly reached an agreement.

Niu Zhu and Jing Yang tied the cow and the pig to a big tree by the roadside, and leaned against the trunk to rest.

The unknown strange bird on the tree was chirping non-stop.

Su Ji looked up, the scorching sun shone through the branches on his face, leaving mottled shadows.

At this time, the three of them were not only hungry and thirsty, but also very tired.Niu Zhu's stomach was already growling.

The sedan chair team was resting under a tree ten feet away from the three of them. Some people took out wooden food boxes, some took out wine jars, and some people spread a square cloth on the ground and arranged glasses of wine and vegetables. It seemed that they were planning to have lunch in situ .

Niu Zhu looked pitifully at those people who were eating and drinking, swallowed and asked, "Junior Brother, are you thirsty?"

Su Ji couldn't bear it any longer, got up and said, "I'll ask them for some water."

"You must not act rashly!" Jing Yang suddenly grabbed Su Ji's trousers and stopped him, "That demon girl likes to play tricks, don't be fooled."

Looking at the capital city of Baoguo at the end of his line of sight, Su Ji had no choice but to endure it for a while and let it go.

"Junior brother, look!"

Niu Zhu let out an exclamation, staring straight at the copper plate in his hand.

Su Ji hurried over, and was shocked to find that the "Si Snake" totem on the copper plate was gradually dimming...

"What's going on here?" Niu Zhu murmured suspiciously.

Su Ji asked Jingyang: "Does this mean that my senior sister broke alone for a while?"

Jing Yang nodded, and said approvingly: "I once heard that Chai Shouzuo set up the Si Snake Formation in a cold pool, guarded by a willow fairy, which can be described as very dangerous."

Niu Zhu said in admiration: "As expected of a senior sister, she is really amazing!"

When Su Ji heard "Cold Pool" and "Liuxian", he wondered to himself, could it be related to the cold map of Liuxian?

While he was bowing his head in thought, a guard walked up to him.

The guard was dressed luxuriously, with a gentle smile, and said politely: "Three priests, we just have an extra portion of water and food. The master has always admired monks, and specially ordered me to send them to a few to quench their hunger and thirst temporarily. Don’t dislike it, please accept it with a smile.”

In the voice, the guard handed over a sheepskin water bag and a wooden food box with both hands.

The food box was warm, but the sheepskin water bag was cold to the touch.

Su Ji could tell at a glance that the sheepskin used to make the water bag was extremely precious.This kind of sheepskin water bag can insulate heat, and the water inside can still keep cold even in the desert.

Staring at the sheepskin water bag and food box, the three of them each swallowed a mouthful of saliva, and no one dared to act rashly.

Niu Zhu couldn't help but asked: "Tell me, is this poisonous?"

"Don't even think about it, this must be the witch's trick!" Jing Yang was determined, then thought about it, and said in a deep thought: "However, we dare not drink water, but we can let the cow try."

"No!" Niu Zhu hurriedly said, "If the water is poisonous, what should I do if I drink it to death?"

"Don't worry about this. When this cow rescued me back then, I found out that it was a descendant of an ancient spirit beast."

After finishing speaking, Jingyang poured the water from the sheepskin water bag into the groove in the middle of the copper plate, and brought it to the green cow.

Qing Niu licked a few mouthfuls with his tongue, and quickly licked up the water in the groove. It seemed that he was already extremely thirsty.

The three began to observe the reaction of the green bull, and saw that it had not moved for a long time, as if nothing happened.

Niu Zhu breathed a sigh of relief, and said in relief: "This water is not poisonous, let's drink it."

Su Ji stopped and said: "It's still not right. This green bull is a descendant of an ancient spirit beast. We may not be able to drink the water it can drink."

Niu Zhu and Jing Yang looked at each other, they were both downcast.

"Pfft! Pfft!"

Suddenly there was a strange sound in my ear, like the sound of eating something.

The three turned their heads and saw Jingyang's pig stealing food from the food box while the owner was not paying attention.

Jingyang turned pale with shock, and called out, "Baby pig! Don't eat it!"

However, it was too late.

The pig was so hungry that it went crazy, and even swallowed the wooden box in one gulp, chewing it to pieces with relish, making a crackling sound from its mouth.

Immediately afterwards, its eyes stared suddenly, and it fell to the ground, with its four hooves kicking wildly!
Jing Yang's face suddenly turned pale, and he rushed over and shouted, "Zhu Bao, what's wrong with you!"

Qing Niu leaned in front of the pig and made two "moo" sounds, as if asking it too.

The pig uttered two "hum hums" from its mouth, as if in response, and then twitched for a while, then lay motionless.

Su Ji put his hand in front of the pig's nose and found that the pig had died.

"Baby Zhu!" Jing Yang cried out in grief, "Baby Zhu! You can't die! I've been with you for so many years, we've shared weal and woe together! I've always treated you like my own flesh and blood, teaching you to raise you! Unexpectedly, today, White-haired people give black-haired people!"

Qingniu came to Niu Zhu's side, and called "Moo Moo" twice.

Niu Zhu nodded, and said to Jingyang: "Master Dao, tell me, Da Ben, your pig left a last word."

Su Ji was startled suddenly. Could it be that the pig knew the identity of the demon girl before she died?

"What did it say?" Jing Yang cried and asked.

Niu Zhu said: "It said the food tastes good, but it's a bit salty."

Jing Yang cried out: "Baby Zhu! You are affectionate and righteous to me, and you are devoted to me, but I haven't even given you a full meal. I'm sorry, Baozhu!"

Niu Zhu looked at his blue cow, scratched his head and said, "Why is Da Ben okay after drinking?"

Jingyang sobbed and said, "I just said everything. Your cow is a descendant of an ancient spirit beast. My pig treasure is a spirit beast that was domesticated and fed with evil spirit medicine. Naturally, it is not as good as it!"

When Jing Yang was crying, the guard who brought the food box just now came over and asked, "Master, the master asked me to ask you, how did the pig die?"

Jing Yang must have known about the consultant, and shouted: "I don't know!"

"Master asked me to tell the Taoist priest: Pigs don't know either."

Jingyang was so angry that his eyes were staring straight, but he didn't dare to approach the sedan chair, so he grabbed the guard's collar and said angrily: "You must have known that this dish is poisonous! Give me back Zhu Bao!"

The guard said, "Don't be angry, the Taoist priest, the younger one is just ordering to pass on the message."

Niu Zhu came back to his senses and persuaded him: "Master Daoist, pigs cannot be brought back to life after death, let's mourn and let the situation change."

Jing Yang let out a long sigh, let go of his hands, and said: "Zhu Bao was raised by me alone, and he has been with me for three full years. I am under the gate of the Jialong Mountain, the descendant of the Earth House Xingjun, and I was forced into such a situation by a little demon girl! I am ashamed of being afraid of leaving my master! I am ashamed of being listed as a fairy leader!"

Su Ji said: "Master Daoist, you are speaking too seriously, let your pig go to the ground for peace."

At this time, a girl's coquettish laughter came from the sedan chair, and she giggled for a long time.

That laughter was pleasant to the ear, and within that smile was the power to captivate one's soul.Hearing Niu Zhu's heart beating wildly, it feels like drinking a glass of rich and fragrant wine, which makes people feel drunk and forget themselves.

"Xiao Si?"

When Su Ji heard that laughter, the smile on his face suddenly froze.

The sedan chair was slowly lifted by four big men, and a group of people walked away.

Looking at the line of sedan chairs gradually disappearing into the distance, Niu Zhu asked: "Master Daoist, when shall we continue on the road?"

Jing Yang said in grief and indignation: "You have to go on your own! Now that Zhu Bao is gone, I will definitely fall into the nightmare of that witch. After I bury Zhu Bao, I will find a way to find revenge on that witch!"

Su Ji looked at the sedan chair going away, and without stopping for a moment, he rode on the green bull and followed.
