Chapter 366: Green Snail Burial
Last time, we talked about how Li Yi successfully gained the attention of the King of Chu through the moon worship ceremony and was appointed as the Moon Worship Doctor and served in Tianshuyuan. However, Qu Xia's master, Granny Lan Die, asked Qu Xia to take Wei Le to Qinglong Mountain to find her. What's going on? Let's read on.
It would definitely take some time to review and reprint the draft edict. When the eunuch who announced the edict came to Li Yi and Qu Xia's courtyard, the two had already left.
Qu Xia naturally left immediately after hearing the master's order. She hadn't visited the master for a long time, so she hurriedly started packing her bags when she got home. Li Yi looked at her packing and asked, "We are not going to live there, we are just visiting. What are you doing with all these bags? Just take two sets of clothes to change into."
"I plan to stay with my master in the mountains for a while. There's nothing to do anyway, so I can stay a few more days."
Li Yi shook his head and said, "You can stay here if you want. I can't. The king will probably summon me soon, so I can't miss the important business."
"Then my husband will go back first. I will stay for two more days. You can leave the housework to Aunt Liu next door. She can do the laundry and cooking, but you can't go out and fool around!"
"Just stay in the mountains without worry. I can take care of myself. Besides, I have Jing Xin and Xiang Ying. With them around, where else can I go to fool around?"
"Jing Xin spoils you in every way, Xiang Ying is an idiot who is fooled by you. How can they keep an eye on you? I'm telling you, Mr. Wei, I'll send someone to watch you every day. If I find out that you dare not come home at night, I will break your legs!"
Li Yi scratched his head helplessly and said, "Well, it's up to you. The most I can do is go to the Jing Family Villa. Can I go to a brothel?"
When Qu Xia packed up and was about to go out, Li Yi said, "No need to prepare a car, I will take you there on my flying sword."
Qu Xia looked puzzled and asked, "Flying a sword? Can you do it? I've never seen you do it before! Don't let anything unexpected happen again!"
Li Yi took out the measuring ruler without any further ado, and turned it into a broadsword that was big enough for two people to stand on. Then he said, "Come up and hold me tight!" After that, he stretched out his hand to pull Qu Xia up, and with a casual wave of his hand, the broadsword soared into the sky, scaring Qu Xia so much that she hugged Li Yi tightly. Now he no longer needed to keep a low profile.
It is said that Qinglong Mountain is more than 200 miles northeast of Baidi City. It was winter at this time, and Li Yi and Qu Xia felt extremely cold while flying in the air with their swords. Fortunately, Li Yi used his talent to form a circle of insulation around them, so they were not shivering with cold.
After more than half an hour, they arrived at Qinglong Mountain. Qu Xia asked Li Yi to land in a bamboo forest halfway up the mountain. Li Yi put his sword back into his bag and asked, "Why do you want to stop here? Why don't you fly directly to Senior Lan Die's residence?"
Qu Xia chuckled and said, "I'm here to visit a friend!"
Li Yi looked at the bamboo forest and asked, "Is your friend a giant panda?"
"What's a panda? I came here to see the white bears. They're cute."
"That's right, this white bear is the panda I mentioned, also called the iron-eating beast, which is Chi You's mount."
Qu Xia laughed out loud when he heard this and said, "You said it was Chi You's mount? Where did you hear that? It's not Chi You's mount. If Chi You rode it, what's the point of fighting?"
Li Yi thought about the giant panda's naive appearance and lazy habits, and nodded, "It seems to be nonsense on the Internet. I also don't think it is possible for Chi You to ride on it to fight!"
The rumor that Chi You's mount was a giant panda is a fabrication on the Internet. Just based on the name of an iron-eating beast, the giant panda became Chi You's mount and also took the blame for the defeat.
The giant panda is nicknamed the iron-eating beast because these cubs often come to villagers' homes to look for food, lick cooking utensils, and some even bite the iron pots, hence the name.
In fact, pandas venture into human settlements to replenish salt and minerals, just like blue sheep like to lick rocks. Otherwise, these cute but ferocious babies would not be willing to show up in front of the more terrifying humans.
After listening to Qu Xia's explanation, Li Yi said, "So that's how it is. Since this white bear is so ferocious, how come it became your friend?"
"They are all pets raised by the master to guard the mountain. When I was a child, I got lost in the bamboo forest and it was Wuwei who led me back home!"
"Tailless? Is that the name of a white bear?"
"Yes, Wuwei is the guardian beast of Qinglong Mountain. It is the largest and most powerful one!"
Li Yi pointed at the huge panda behind Qu Xia and said in amazement: "Are you talking about this one? This is the first time I've seen such a big panda!!"
Li Yi stretched out his voice and ran away, because the giant panda named Wuwei had stood up and rushed towards him with an angry face! Li Yi shouted while running: "Wife, please talk to it, don't let it chase me! Why is it chasing me! We are all family! I can't hurt it! It's a national treasure!"
Qu Xia looked at Li Yi who was being chased by a giant panda in the bamboo forest and smiled, "It's okay, it's okay! Just treat it as an after-dinner activity. It's a good opportunity to play with Wuwei for a while!"
Li Yi said unhappily: "I don't want to play with it! Stop it from chasing me!"
Qu Xia spread her hands and said, "I can't do anything about this. Wuwei only listens to the master!"
Li Yi leaped up, stepped on two long bamboos and used them as stilts, then made a face at the giant panda on the ground and said tauntingly, "You can't reach it now! Lululu!"
What he didn't expect was that Wuwei was not stupid. It broke a long bamboo with one palm and used it as a stick to hit Li Yi. The latter raised his body to avoid it, but Wuwei threw the bamboo out again as a javelin.
Li Yi dodged it easily, but he shouted at Wuwei: "Aren't these bamboos your food? You are wasting food!"
Qu Xia smiled and said, "So there are things you don't know. Unless they are extremely hungry or they really can't find new bamboo, polar bears won't eat these old bamboos, so it's not a waste if they don't have a tail!"
Li Yi looked at Qu Xia with contempt and said, "Aren't you afraid that it will destroy the entire bamboo forest?"
"Don't be afraid! Wuwei knows his limits!"
Li Yi said coldly: "Then aren't you afraid that I will lose my sense of propriety?" After saying that, he jumped back to the ground and stood in front of Wuwei.
When standing up, this giant panda was a head taller than Li Yi. Its sturdy body looked like a mountain of flesh. When it saw Li Yi falling in front of it, it roared and slapped him with its palm.
Li Yi stretched out his hand to summon the Qi barrier of the Vajra Divine Art, but he never expected that Wuwei would smash the Qi barrier with one palm, which really scared him. Moreover, Wuwei exploded again after smashing the Qi barrier, and was about to use a set of Return Me Beautiful Palms against Li Yi. At this moment, Li Yi suddenly remembered the scene of Dayi fighting with the Panda King:
It was a wonderful fight, a close combat where you hit me with a palm and I hit you with a punch, and whoever gets in the way will be the bastard!
Li Yi looked at Wuwei in front of him with a sly smile, thinking: After my martial arts advancement, I haven't tried firepower yet, so I'll just use your thick skin to try it out, you better hold on!
So, Li Yi clenched his fists and used the "Give Me Back My Beauty" punch at Wuwei. However, because Wuwei's huge body blocked Qu Xia's sight, she had no idea what Li Yi did. She could only hear Wuwei's wailing.
Finally, Li Yi used his Iron Mountain Skill to knock Wuwei away. In front of Qu Xia, the meat mountain performed a backward flat sand falling wild goose style, and then flew into the depths of the bamboo forest. Wuwei's strength was close to the peak of the fourth level, but it was the first time that he was beaten so badly.
Qu Xia exclaimed: "Why did you hit him so hard?"
"It's a rare opportunity to beat a national treasure without breaking the law, so I can't miss it. Don't worry, I didn't even use the Qi base, so it should be convinced."
Qu Xia stamped her feet, sighed, and turned to run into the bamboo forest. Li Yi followed her in with a smile. When they found Wuwei, the poor giant panda was curled up in the bamboo shed with his head in his arms.
Qu Xia walked up to Wuwei and stroked his back, comforting him: "Oh, don't be sad, it's not the first time you've been beaten. Didn't my brother teach you a lesson before? Have you forgotten?"
Wuwei put down his front paws and looked at Qu Xia with a face full of grievance and resentment. The latter could not hold back any longer, because Li Yi had beaten a good giant panda into a giant bear pig. Its head was originally round, but now it was even rounder and flatter, as if a big pancake was hanging on its body.
"Wei Le! Look at what you've done to Wuwei!"
Li Yi laughed and said, "Hey, it's lying there! You can't blame me for this. It was it that started it. I didn't use much strength. When it recovers, it can come and seek revenge on me!"
Wuwei roared at Li Yi.
"You look quite energetic, the injury is not serious!"
Qu Xia glared at Li Yi and said angrily: "Shut up! If you don't speak, no one will think you are dumb!"
When Wuwei saw that Li Yi didn't dare to act rashly in front of Qu Xia, he immediately transformed into a crying monster and tried hard to get into Qu Xia's arms. His big head was even wider than Qu Xia's back.
Li Yi reprimanded him, "That's enough! Don't take advantage of my wife. Although you are a beast, you are still a man. If you are so scheming now, what will happen when you cultivate into a human form in the future?"
Qu Xia yelled, "What nonsense are you talking about! Come here and apologize to Wuwei!"
Li Yi sighed and walked into the shed, touched Wuwei's head and said, "Okay, I apologize to you. I shouldn't have hit you so hard. I just suddenly remembered something from the past, so I played with you like this. I won't do this next time. We can still be friends, right?"
Wuwei glanced at Li Yi, then turned around and went to Qu Xia's arms. Li Yi grabbed its head and pulled it out of the nest, but Wuwei took the opportunity to bite Li Yi's neck!
You know, the bite force of pandas is ranked in the top ten in the animal kingdom, so this scene shocked Qu Xia and made her scream. But Li Yi seemed to be prepared, holding its mouth with both hands and kicking the tailless beast away!
At this time, Granny Landie came behind them and asked calmly, "Do you realize what the problem is?"
Qu Xia quickly stood up and saluted, saying, "Greetings, Master! What happened to Master Wuwei? Why did you suddenly become so irritable?"
Li Yi bowed and said, "Junior Wei Le, greetings to the senior."
Landie nodded and said, "About two months ago, Wuwei attacked farmers who went up the mountain to pick bamboo shoots for the first time for some reason. I didn't take it seriously at the time, thinking it was just angry because someone stole its food.
But a few days later, it injured someone again, and the victim was a child, and it also ate the child's cow. I felt something was wrong, so I locked it up in this bamboo forest. Wei Le, you are a Confucianist, you should know the reason, right? "
Li Yi shook his head and sighed: "The spirit of the demon beast in its body has awakened."
Granny Landie asked, "Why is it that only Wuwei is going crazy, while the other white bears are fine?"
"Because Wuwei is the descendant of the Panda King, he has the blood of a demon beast in his body. This matter has to start with the Three-legged Golden Crow."
"Are you talking about the three-legged golden crow that was shot dead by Dayi?"
Li Yi nodded and said, "Ten suns appeared at the same time, and all the grass and trees withered. Yi shot down nine of them, but one survived. The surviving Golden Crow hid in Kunlun Mountain to recuperate, and was captured by Lu Sheng, the high priest of the Zoroastrianism. He separated its spirit and ate its flesh, and sealed its essence in the body of his disciple Sadik..."
Li Yi told the story of how the Golden Crow used its original spirit to transform the land of Kyushu into a breeding ground for demons.
Qu Xia didn't understand what he was saying at all, but Grandma Landie's ancestors had fought against the demons, so she naturally understood the horror of the demons' revival.
Granny Landie sighed and said, "Alas, if this is the case, won't there be trouble again? Do you have a way to suppress the demon beast bloodline in Wuwei's body so that it can recover?"
