Chapter 14: Snowy Little Shop, Moon-Watching Mountain, Purple Lion Goose

There was someone waiting outside. Perhaps after Ye Yang woke up, there was a movement in the house, which woke up the servants outside.

After a while, someone knocked on the door cautiously.

Ye Yang opened the door and saw that it was Zhang Tong, the butler of the Zhang family.

Zhang Tong was very humble when he saw Ye Yang, and asked about his well-being.

"Ye Protector, how did you rest? But if you want to eat, I have already asked the kitchen to make red dates and white fungus soup and snow mountain chicken and fish jerky. I will send it to you now."

Ye Yang was indeed a little hungry, so he signaled Zhang Tong to send it, and then Ye Yang said: "How is Patriarch Zhang? Is he awake?"

After waking up, Ye Yang felt that his fatigue was gone, so he thought about setting off for Fengxue Xiaosi in the afternoon.

Fengxue Xiaosi was more than 300 miles away from the Zhang family's residence. It would be better to leave early and spend less time in the mountains.

Zhang Tongdao: "The head of the family was seriously injured yesterday and has not woken up yet. I will report it now."

Perhaps Zhang Tong's report was effective. Ye Yang had just finished packing up his things in the house when he received a message from Zhang Liaoyuan, the head of the Zhang family, saying that he was invited to the Banquet Hall for a gathering.

...

The Banquet Hall is tall and spacious, and a row of tall welcoming pines are planted in front of the steps.

Ye Yang sat in the best seat in the Banquet Hall. Zhang Liaoyuan, the head of the Zhang family, dragged his tired body, his face was like gold paper, and he seemed not to have fully recovered.

As for Zhang Feng, the "Zhang Family Fire Sword", he was seriously injured in the previous battle with the giant crocodile and lost one arm. He still can't get out of bed.

After expressing gratitude to Ye Yang, he did not come.

In front of Zhang Liaoyuan were two warm yellow embroidered cloud pattern brocade boxes, one of which contained two crocodile eggs the size of a sea bowl.

The crocodile eggs had long been wiped clean of blood stains, and a layer of halo was visible on the blue egg surface with black spots, which was quite extraordinary.

Another brocade box contained three arms thick white lotus roots, which were crisp, tender, juicy, white and plump.

Zhang Liaoyuan was a little weak.

"Thank you for your generous help this time, Protector Ye, otherwise the Zhang family would have suffered a great loss.

"Please accept these things, Protector Ye."

"The crocodile skin is tough and thick. I have already ordered the old craftsman and the leather master to tan it overnight and make a set of inner armor for Protector Ye. It will be ready tomorrow and I will send it to Protector Ye then."

These things were obtained from the expedition. The Zhang family took out most of the harvest from the crocodile slaughter, especially the two giant crocodile eggs, which were full of sincerity.

Ye Yang would naturally not refuse.

The head of the Zhang family was so generous, Ye Yang would naturally not spoil the fun, and he also praised him.

"The success of this battle is mainly due to the Zhang family's proper preparation and elite troops. I only played a supporting role. "

Ye Yang's words were not nonsense, although he stabbed the giant crocodile's eyes.

But if it weren't for the Zhang family's joint efforts, coupled with the magic weapons, barbed wire, and talisman crossbows, the giant crocodile would definitely not be killed so easily.

Zhang Liaoyuan smiled bitterly in his heart. As the person with the highest cultivation level present, his performance in this battle was undoubtedly unqualified, otherwise there would be fewer casualties.

On the contrary, the person in front of him, although not very old, was calm and cautious in the face of danger.

Zhang Liaoyuan was deeply surprised and even envious of his control of the rhythm of the battle.

Zhang Liaoyuan sighed, then adjusted himself and said.

"Protector Ye, now that the evil has been eliminated, it's time to drink and talk happily."

"This pair of jade turtles is a personal gift from me. It has the wonderful effect of collecting spiritual energy. Please accept it, Protector Ye. "

After that, Zhang Liaoyuan took out a pair of jade turtles the size of a fingernail. The jade was warm and white, and the carvings were vivid and lifelike.

Ye Yang's face changed. Although the Zhang family had some background, it was not a big family after all, and the etiquette was a bit unrefined.

How can a pair of turtles be given? Doesn't this imply a pair of turtles (double regulation)?

In addition, Feitianmen has extremely strict regulations in this regard, so Ye Yang refused to accept it no matter what.

This made Zhang Liaoyuan look at him with a higher regard.

……

The next day, before dawn, Ye Yang took After taking the giant crocodile inner armor made by the Zhang family, he left.

These days, Tuoyun Horse was well taken care of in the Zhang family, with sufficient food and shiny fur.

After seeing Ye Yang, he called out with a hiss, and couldn't wait to spread his four hooves, calling Huan'er, and galloped away into the distance.

A puff of dust was stirred up on the ground.

The dense forest was deep and only objects could be seen vaguely. A little bit of sunlight shone through the gaps in the old trees and fell on the ground in the wasteland, forming patches of light.

Ye Yang was about to pass through the deep forest when a voice came.

"My little lover, why are you hiding from me and always not seeing me? "

Ye Yang looked up and was shocked, with cold sweats pouring down his face.

On a tree branch above, sat a woman in white.

Her hair was loose, and she was hung on the tree by a rope around her neck, with her feet swinging back and forth.

White clothes, red shoes, hair dancing in the wind, her mouth opened, revealing a mouthful of toothpick-like fangs.

It was the strange monster he had encountered on the Qianwanbi Lake Road before. At that time, he rode the Tuoyun Horse to get rid of it.

However, unexpectedly, this weirdo actually caught up with him again!

Ye Yang's hair stood on end and cold sweat ran down his face.

This weird woman smiled, revealing a mouthful of sharp teeth like toothpicks, as if she was laughing.

She handed the mummified baby in the swaddle to Ye Yang.

"Look, my lover, this is our child. Don't you remember?"

The mummified baby had a tail hanging from its buttocks, shaking constantly, and a human head was hanging on the tail, as if it was used as a snack.

The face was gnawed and bumpy.

"You've found the wrong one, I'm not your lover."

"You are, please don't run, I won't eat you, wait for me. The child can't be without a father."

"My lover, my lover, don't run, don't you want our child?"

"Fuck you! Playing tricks."

Ye Yang shouted, and the steel knife slashed fiercely, flashing a bright silver light in the air, but it had no effect.

This blow went straight through the opponent's body without causing any impact.

This weird woman still followed him closely.

"Don't run, don't run! My love, I promise not to beat you anymore, and not to cut your flesh and eat it anymore."

"My love, why don't you accept me? Is it because I'm not a human?"

Ye Yang ran away, and this weird monster chased him from behind.

A sharp pain came, and Ye Yang covered his neck, and then he found that his back was bleeding.

There was a huge wound on his back neck.

Enduring the pain, Ye Yang did not look back at all, but drove the Tuoyun horse faster and faster.

Fortunately, the Tuoyun horse was as fast as lightning, and could control vines and leap, gradually getting rid of the weird behind him.

He couldn't help but sigh secretly, thanks to the Tuoyun horse, otherwise, he would have died here today.

...

After the weird incident last night, Ye Yang no longer took the mountain road, but looked for the main road.

Around 2:00 PM, the number of people around Ye Yang began to increase.

The Tuoyun Horse had been running for a day, still full of energy, crossing mountains and ridges, leaping and dodging, with the golden horns on its head glowing slightly.

Many shrubs and weeds automatically moved to the sides, creating a path.

If it encountered a thick old tree, the Tuoyun Horse would bend its four hooves slightly, move its hooves together, step on the tree trunk, and gallop forward.

Ye Yang knew that after passing this mountain, he would reach the Snowy and Windy Market on Wangyue Mountain after walking another 80 miles on the mountain road.

Originally, this place was a dangerous peak hit by the sky, a mountain stream polished by water, located on the top of a dry stone mountain, with constant wind and snow all year round.

But this place happened to be a traffic throat and a key trade route.

The scattered cultivators of Wangyue Mountain spent a huge amount of manpower and material resources to open up the mountain, build roads, level gravel, build ladders, and build a market.

On weekdays, it is used as a resting place for merchants, and some special products are sold for exchange and liquidity.

Who would have thought that after a hundred years, this market would become more and more famous, and merchants, individual people, and clans would come here in an endless stream.

People eat and horses chew, people come and go, and business is like a raging fire, burning bigger and bigger.
