Chapter 430 Going down the mountain
Chu Xiaomu finally understood why General Biye prohibited the use of the Spiritual Questioning Technique in Bicheng. It was because the spiritual realm was too dangerous. He said, "Master, is it true that the Spiritual Questioning Technique cannot be used?" His voice was quite helpless.
The Queen Mother and the Crow Lady had heard him say that he could use the spirit-seeking technique, and they also wanted to use it to find the murderer who killed Grandpa. So they thought about it carefully and said, "If you insist on using this technique to enter the spirit realm, no one can stop you. But it must not exceed one hour, and the entity must be guarded by a master of the Force, otherwise you may suffer a great disaster."
Chu Xiaomu nodded, thinking that he should be careful about this section.
The Queen Mother placed the half of the treasure map in Chu Xiaomu's hands and said, "Master, there is nothing you can do. This thing is much safer in your hands than in mine."
Chu Xiaomu suddenly asked: "Master, if I find the other half of the map, can I go to find the treasure of Shenwu Bumie?"
The Queen Mother was stunned. She didn't expect that the boy would ask such a question. This was something she had never thought about before.
The crow lady said, "I have also thought of this, and I have spent a lot of spiritual energy to predict this matter, but unfortunately all I saw was a blur. Xiaomu, in fact, the Queen Mother has placed a huge bet on you, you must not let her down."
Chu Xiaomu thought that what you said was unclear and hard to understand.
The Queen Mother said, "The appearance of the Dark Abyss Cauldron is still just a rumor, but the Red Sand Kingdom and the Cangmu Kingdom are already at war. If the clues to the Qishan Scroll are known, chaos in the four kingdoms will be inevitable. Xiaomu, you must be careful in your actions in the future, and never let others find out that the Qishan Scroll is in your possession."
Chu Xiaomu nodded and carefully put half of the treasure map into the lining of his clothes.
The three of them talked for a while longer, and the morning session was almost over.
The Queen Mother stood up and said, "Let's go. The Crow Lady and I will take you down the mountain."
Chu Xiaomu ran to his room to pack his things.
His personal belongings included a piece of silver armor, two sets of Bicheng military robes for summer change, a set of fire silk cotton winter clothes, a set of ice silk linen summer clothes, several pairs of underwear, a Bicheng green cloak, a book called "Guixing Fa Jue", as well as a few miscellaneous items such as fire starters and short swords.
The Bicheng Army originally issued him two sets of winter clothes. He was wearing one set now, as the other was burned in the battle with the Fire Wheel Eye. Seeing that he was dressed shabbily, the Queen Mother ordered the beast spirit who was good at weaving to make a set of fire silk cotton winter clothes and ice silk linen summer clothes. However, Chu Xiaomu thought the clothes were too precious and had never been willing to wear them.
He originally had a black iron sword, but it was shattered to pieces a month ago by a force that he could not control.
The silver armor of Bicheng was too conspicuous, and there was a big hole on the back caused by the rot, so I simply didn't bring it with me and put it in a corner of the room. I didn't know when I could come back, so I left the item here as a reminder.
He hastily packed his things, stopped at the door, looked back at the house where he had lived for more than a year, and left reluctantly.
Chu Xiaomu said goodbye to the Queen Mother and the Crow Lady, and headed non-stop towards the Bujian Peak.
Cheng Huang is over three years old now, and has completely grown into a tall horse, running more steadily and faster. Chu Xiaomu wants to test how fast it can run, so he urges it to run faster from time to time.
The rocks and trees on both sides of the path retreated like meteors, and Cheng Huang was incredibly fast. After his original force was activated, his eyesight became very strong, but he could not see the scene on both sides clearly even on Cheng Huang's back.
It only took a day and a half to reach the Tiaotiao Gorge where they met Ci Hao. It took more than three days to walk this distance, and even if there were no delays on the way, it would take at least two days.
However, the mountain road is rugged and it seems that it has not yet exerted its full strength.
When they arrived at the mountain stream of Tiaotiao Gorge, Cheng Huang stopped with a long hiss as he looked at the deep stream that was more than twenty feet wide.
Chu Xiaomu jumped off the horse, patted its head, and said, "It seems that Ci Hao has demolished the single-plank bridge. Qisheng, we have to find another way to get across."
After a moment's thought, he walked to a big tree and split it into two pieces with his palm. He picked up one piece in one hand and said to Cheng Huang, "When I tell you to step on it, you step on it, understand?"
Cheng Huang nodded as expected.
Chu Xiaomu was overjoyed. He led Cheng Huang to the edge of the stream about thirty or four feet away. He carried two pieces of broken wood, climbed onto the horse's back, and used his force to throw one of the pieces out.
He used a softer and more false force in this throw, and the wood broke slowly and steadily.
Then he squeezed his legs together and ordered, "Qisheng, catch up!"
Cheng Huang exerted all his strength on his four hooves, and suddenly leaped out as if he had a powerful mechanism installed on his body. When he reached the edge of the stream, he exerted his strength again and flew into the air to the other side.
It was extremely fast and caught up with the piece of broken wood thrown by Chu Xiaomu in an instant.
Chu Xiaomu shouted again: "Qisheng, step on the foot!" and then threw out another piece of broken wood.
Cheng Huang pushed forward with his two hind legs and landed on the broken log thrown in the air. With a little leverage, he rushed out again as if flying.
On the way, he took some strength from the broken log thrown by Chu Xiaomu and landed steadily on the other side of Tiaotiao Gorge.
Chu Xiaomu burst out laughing: "Just two jumps and we're across the ravine. Could this be the origin of the name Tiaotiao Gorge?"
After Tiaotiao Gorge, you will reach Kunhe River and Chuike Road. It is not the rainy season in Shoushan yet, so the water volume of Kunhe River is small, and the river flows quietly, as quiet as a little deer.
Coming to the place where he crossed the river last time, Chu Xiaomu squeezed his legs together and flew across the water like a big flying fish.
He was in a very good mood, thinking that it would be convenient to cross rivers in the future, and he wondered if he could cross the sea. If he could, he could take Xiaodou to Baihua Island. However, this was too unrealistic, and no matter how powerful Cheng Huang was, he couldn't be that powerful.
When he arrived at Chuike Road, Chu Xiaomu deliberately slowed down, intending to see what the beast spirits of Black Mountain looked like. If they made him unhappy, he would kill one or two of them. If he ran into the red-haired ape, he could also avenge the broken arm of the Beikan Camp commander Guan Wengang, whom he had never met.
But after waiting on the road for half an hour, no beast spirits from Black Mountain appeared, and even the people from Red Sand Country did not show up. I guess they must also be guarding the important roads. Now that Humu Pass has been breached, they must be stationed there.
Chu Xiaomu didn't think any more, whistled, and rushed towards the direction of Bujian Peak.
In just two and a half days, they arrived at the foot of the Bujian Peak, and then found their way back to the top.
Less than halfway through the journey, there was a sudden crackling sound and a strong wind blew from the right.
