Xu Xian scratched his head in embarrassment. "Don't make fun of me, Yan 'er. I was just imagining it.
There will be people occupying such a famous mountain. If it's a monster, it's fine. They can fight it out with him.
But if it's an immortal cave, it's not good to fight it with martial arts! "
"Even if we can't fight it with martial arts, we can still lure it with benefits, right?" Yun Yan blinked her eyes cleverly.
"Lure it with benefits?"
Yun Yan said, "You still have a lot of golden pills in your hands, right?
If you use such precious elixirs to exchange, even immortals will be tempted! "
Xu Xian estimated the number of Dragon-Tiger Golden Pills in his hands. He had refined a total of eighty-one golden pills. Apart from Hu Xinyue's two, Taiyin Immortal and Emperor Jiayu's two, Pan Yu, Yun Yan, Xiaoqing, Xiaoqian, Ao Li, and Yu Lei had all taken them. In addition to the one he gave to Zhong Kui and the half he gave to his sister and brother-in-law, as well as the one he ate.
He had used thirteen, so there were still sixty-seven left.
Originally, he planned to give one each to Yu Xuanji and Sun 'er, but Yu Xuanji's attitude was strange in the capital, so he had no time to give it to them. Later, when the incident with the three holy mothers happened, he had to leave in a hurry.
However, he kept these two Golden Cores in his heart for them.
He also kept one for Yu 'er on the sea and his wife on Mount Qingcheng.
But even if he used all these golden pills, there were still more than sixty of them, which were quite valuable resources. He could use them well.
Speaking of which, no matter what Taiyin Immortal did, he did not mistreat him.
In order to refine these golden pills, Taiyin Immortal collected countless treasures, and Xu Xian probably did not even pay one percent.
Therefore, he couldn't blame this Daoist Master at all.
"That's not a bad idea. Let's go down and take a look. We can also take it as a tour. Let's see what's so special about this famous mountain that we can't see when we return from the Yellow Mountain."
Yun Yan asked curiously, "When you return from the Five Sacred Mountains, you don't look at the mountains? When you return from the Yellow Mountain, you don't look at the mountains?
Who said that? Why haven't I heard of it before? "
Xu Xian remembered that Xu Xiake hadn't been born yet, but he didn't need to find an excuse to deal with it. He pinched her nose and said, "There are many things you haven't heard of!"
Yun Yan smiled and said, "Yes, yes, my husband is wise and mighty, there is nothing you don't know!"
Although this flattery was insincere, Xu Xian still felt pleased. "It's good that you know!"
It was almost noon, and it was time to eat. There was no need to go to any restaurant or inn.
Xu Xian found a quiet place at the foot of Mount Huang. There were pine trees above, bluestones below, and running water beside him.
Xu Xian took out a few dishes from the jade tablet and placed them on the green stone. He said to Yun Yan, "Madam, please!"
"My husband, please!"
Yun Yan lowered her eyebrows and smiled faintly. She felt that there was some degree of mutual respect between the two of them, and it made her heart even more tender.
Xu Xian saw that Yun Yan's face was like a painting, and the scenery around him was like a painting. He seemed to have accidentally stepped into an ancient painting, surrounded by splash-ink mountains and rivers, and in front of him was a beautiful woman. He was moved and said with a smile, "Then I won't be polite!"
Yun Yan let out a cry and was suddenly hugged by him. She couldn't help but look at him, blaming him for ruining the beautiful atmosphere just now.
Xu Xian knew that if a woman's romance was ruined, even someone as docile as her would get angry. She laughed and said, "I'll feed you!" Just as she finished speaking, she tilted her head to listen and pushed her away.
Yun Yan asked curiously, "What's wrong?"
Xu Xian smiled and said, "Someone is coming. Yan 'er doesn't want to show our love in front of others!"
Yun Yan hurriedly tidied up her clothes that were not messy.
Xu Xian didn't hide his body. Since he met a passerby, he could ask about the situation of Mount Huangshan.
Although immortals and monsters hid themselves, they would still leave many traces after living in a place for a long time, which turned into local folklore and spread by word of mouth.
Through these folklore, he could know a little about the situation of this mountain.
If it was a monster who caused trouble everywhere, he didn't need to spend a lot of Jindan. He could directly demolish his cave.
Even if he couldn't get anything out of him, he could just treat it as a casual chat.
The wooden clogs fell on the stone of the mountain road, making a soft sound, followed by a series of straw shoes.
The owner of the wooden clogs was young, wearing an embroidered robe, waving a folding fan in his hand, and his eyes wandering. Obviously, he didn't care about the scenery of Mount Huangshan. Because he lived at the foot of Mount Huangshan and could see it every day, he didn't care about it.
The "straw sandals" that followed behind him were not servants, but a group of officials with sabers.
A constable with a feather on his hat asked carefully, "Young master, are we really going up the mountain?"
The young master waved his folding fan, "Of course!"
The constable wailed, "Young master, we can't go up the mountain. Recently, many tourists and passersby have disappeared. If it's not a tiger, then it's a bandit!
You are precious, if anything happens to you, we can't bear the responsibility! "The group of constables behind him also complained bitterly.
"Didn't my father ask you to investigate this?
You want to coax me to leave so you can run away! "
The constables' worries were exposed, and they all cried out, "Young master, you've wronged us. We're just thinking about your body!"
"Hmph, you lowly scum, how can I not know what you're thinking?
Find a place to rest for a while, then go back to the county town. Whether those people are dead or alive, it's none of my business! "
The constables were cursing in their hearts, but they didn't show it on their faces. They only shouted, "Young master is wise!
Young master is wise! "
Recently a lot of people have gone missing on this mountain, including a woodcutter collecting firewood, passing merchants, and even a rich young lady. Her family sent many servants up the mountain to look for her, but not only did they not find a single hair, even those servants did not come back.
They said it was done by wild beasts, but they couldn't find any blood or bones.
They said it was done by bandits, but they didn't ask for a ransom. They didn't see the people, dead or alive.
Everyone was panicking, saying that a monster had appeared on the mountain.
The magistrate didn't believe it, but he sent these lowly soldiers to die. How could he not be afraid?
Originally, they could just pretend to agree but secretly oppose. However, the magistrate's son didn't get along with the magistrate because of the concubine. The young master only told his father that he was coming up the mountain to die, so they couldn't get away.
Now that they didn't have to go up the mountain, they felt like they had been pardoned.
The constable said, "There's a place to rest under the Phoenix Pine in front … Young master?"
He saw that the magistrate's son suddenly stopped moving. He turned his head and looked over, and he couldn't help but be stunned as well!
Xu Xian was smiling at Yun Yan, "So this pine is called the Phoenix Pine. It's shaped like a phoenix spreading its wings. It suits Yan Er very well."
Xu Xian heard the conversation of these people just now, and he got a lot of information. There was something strange about the mountain, no wonder there weren't any tourists. This time, he could kill two birds with one stone.
At the same time, he also knew that these people were the sons of officials, and had several lackeys. He lost interest in talking.
But he didn't expect that when the other party came to talk to him, the County Magistrate's son came back to his senses, and the first thing he said was to point at Yun Yan, "You are Lady Cai Feng!"
