Chapter 1417 Overcoming the Wall

The closer you get to the capital, the more cars and horses there are.

Bai Yujun felt that the official road was crowded and he was walking slowly, so he simply taught Fat Hu how to control water and run on the river by treading water.

I don’t know the time in the rain. When the rain stops and the clouds disperse, it’s already night. There is no wind. The moon is far above the mountain ridge. The calm river surface is like a mirror, with the same lights and stars, and the fat moon is carried by the mountains.

Several brightly lit three-story boats broke through the tranquility, with the sound of drums and music, and the chatter of laughter and chatter.

Special lamps are hung on the luxuriously decorated floors and are engraved with magic runes, illuminating each floor and the river dozens of feet away.

The maids walked around serving food and pouring wine, and the ship was full of nobles and rich people, changing glasses.

People who were leaning on the railing to admire the moon saw a strange scene. A giant tiger was running on the calm river, as if walking on flat ground.

The visibility is not good at night, otherwise we would be able to see more, but it would not be that fate after all.

Fat Tiger thought it was fun to walk on water.

Jumping, four tiger paws as big as cattail leaf fell to the ground, leaving four spreading ripples on the mirror-like water surface. The strong limbs jumped up again, running past the dimly lit building boat, feeling novel about the permeating smell of wine and meat. , but I don’t like the smell of rouge and gouache.

Bai Yujun sat on the saddle and blew in the wind, breathing in the unique smell of the river water.

We are dragons, so of course we like Dajiang.

The lynx cat is much more elegant. It can fly and fly four feet high above the river, occasionally picking up fish to eat.

You can often see fish lying flat on the water surface, alive.

The raw fish with a fishy smell tastes very delicious to wild beasts. The small fish suffocates in one mouthful, and the big fish slowly chews it.

Under the moonlight, you can vaguely see the outline of the capital. There are more and more people living along the coast. They are too lazy to go to the towns when they are hungry, so they cook for themselves.

Find a smooth reef on the river to rest.

The fat tiger lies on its back and bask in the moon, while the lynx dives into the water to catch fish.

While waiting, I quickly started to dig out the soy sauce and vinegar from the sack. I chose a small round pit on the reef, washed the pit, put the wild garlic in it, randomly picked up a long pebble and crushed the garlic, and Soy sauce and vinegar for dipping.

When the lynx emerged from the water again, it had prey in its mouth, some kind of three-foot-long fish similar to tuna.

The cat's claws cut off the head and tail, and placed the big fish on the lotus leaf. The next step was a demonstration of Bai's craftsmanship. He handled the fish neatly with his small hands, cleaned the internal organs, peeled the skin, and separated two large pieces of fish meat.

Throw the uneaten parts directly into the water to feed other aquatic creatures, and cut them into chopstick-thick fresh fillets.

The color is attractive, the meat quality is excellent, and it is especially fresh.

The simplest joy and beauty in the world is the sense of solidity and happiness brought about by the collision of delicious food and taste buds.

Chew slowly and slowly to get the flavor out, and occasionally you will habitually raise your head and swallow it whole...

Bai Yujun likes to work hard, and the feeling of being hungry is really uncomfortable. Remember, no matter when, no matter how far away from home, don't let yourself go hungry.

He didn't stop using his chopsticks until he was full.

The remaining fish meat was stuffed into Fat Hu's mouth as usual. It was not bad. Fat Hu didn't reject the taste of raw fish.

Use river water to wash your dishes and hands by the rocks.

After putting the things into the sack, Fat Hu diligently carried the sack on his back, and when Bai Yujun climbed up behind the tiger, he stood up and started on the road again.

Choose a ferry to leave the river and go ashore, and take advantage of the night to rush towards the dim city wall.

There were no people around at night. Armed forces had been lax in Taiping for many years, and checkpoints were only set up at key intersections in the suburbs of Beijing. Bai Yujun asked Fat Hu to go to the farmland in the countryside, so he could avoid the busy official roads full of livestock excrement. The soil in the farmland was soft, and Fat Hu liked it very much.

In the melon field, you can see many melons under the moonlight.

In the shack, a farm boy of about nine years old was awake, gritting his teeth and searching the melon fields.

He pricked up his ears and heard a rustling sound. The boy gently grabbed the iron fork and walked slowly on tiptoe. In the moonlight, he saw his nemesis, the melon-stealing badger.

He quietly raised his fork, preparing to turn the melon thief into oil and water on his own dining table.

Suddenly, I heard the rustling of leaves in the millet field in the distance, and the dull sound of footsteps.

When he turned his head, he was too scared to move.

He saw a huge black shadow that was taller than a cow getting closer and closer. He could hear heavy breathing. He waded through the millet field and rushed into the melon field, carrying the wind and running past him. The farmer boy had never seen a tiger, but that didn't stop him from feeling scared. .

Still holding the fork high, he watched the monster run across his melon field.

As Fat Tiger ran, he felt he bumped into something. The poor badger flew into the sky and rolled several times. He landed with a thud, turned over and burrowed into the grass, but nothing happened.

Pass through vast farmland and pass a river.

Fat Tiger slowed down and stopped under the city wall.

The big head looks up curiously at the super projects built by humans, waiting quietly for the opportunity to climb over the city wall.

The lynx climbed up the wall as nimbly as a cat and used its keen sense of smell and night vision to search. It did not find the soldiers on guard, so it threw a stone on the ground as agreed.

Fat Tiger shook and made sure that the saddle and sack were tightly tied and would not come loose.

Looking back, Bai Yujun nodded.

The big tiger jumped hard, and its sharp claws grabbed the broken wall bricks and dug into the cracks of the bricks. Like a gecko, it clung to the wall and climbed up easily.

The city wall is not vertical up and down, but has a slight slope, which is not difficult for cats.

Tigers actually have a talent for climbing and can climb trees, but they are just too lazy to climb most of the time.

Bai Yujun grasped the saddle tightly with her small hands, regretting that she should have let the lynx take her up. Fortunately, the tiger climbed very quickly, and it only took a few breaths to regain its balance.

The tiger climbed over the battlements and stood firm, sniffed the scent, faced the wind blowing in the city, and curiously looked at the endless human city under the night.

Bai Yujun waved his hands and found that the city was very unique from this angle.

Among the bungalows there are pavilions, nine-story pagodas, old trees, aqueducts and stone arch bridges. The most conspicuous and largest building is the imperial city. Bai Yujun can also see the dragon-shaped destiny above the imperial city.

Rest for a while, nothing unusual.

The imperial court has an inspection department dedicated to the affairs of the spiritual world to prevent the spiritual world from causing chaos in the mortal world, and also to guard against monsters and evil cultivators.

There are also branch yamen in various places, which use special instruments to monitor and patrol.

In particular, the capital city has stricter security measures, but a certain Bai is a special case, and he brings two monsters to climb over the wall and enter the house at will.

I looked at the time, recalled the map of the capital, and quickly planned a route through the civilian areas. In the civilian areas, there would be no hanging lanterns at the door to waste candles. It was dark and suitable for tigers to travel, and it was not like the wealthy and aristocratic areas where there were experts everywhere. Suitable for low profile.

The little short legs stamped on the tiger's back. The fat tiger understood and found a horse path to get off the city wall.

The real tiger is coming to town.

While walking on the street, Bai Yujun taught the lynx demon some rules.

With an IQ that is no different from that of a human being, the lynx learns very quickly.

Bai Yujun taught everything carefully and carefully. As a guardian spirit beast, you need to master a lot of knowledge. Cultivation is very important, and experience in the world is also very important. In short, it is best to be as stable as an old dog.

When we were approaching the imperial city, we thought about it and continued to give instructions.

"Remember, there is no need to be afraid. No matter the opponent is in the Nascent Soul stage or the Tribulation Stage, or even the gods, immortals, or demons, there is no need to be afraid. Don't worry, I will take care of everything."

That’s enough about the responsibilities, let’s talk about benefits.

"Being a guardian spirit beast is not in vain. As long as you do your job well, becoming an immortal in the future will be a trivial matter."

What Bai Yujun said was the truth, and it was also a promise. The lynx demon who listened carefully did not know that this was a great luck, a great luck to be envied by countless mythical beasts and immortal beasts.

Chatting all the way, we returned to the back gate of the imperial city at the darkest time before dawn.

Looking at the dark city gate, just a few days seemed to have gone through several months.
