EBE Chapter 411: Purple Dust Peak
Chapter 411: Purple Dust Peak
The six beast spirits chatted along the way as the sky gradually darkened.
There was still a long way to go to Zi Chen Peak, and later all six spirits quickened their pace and ran through the mountains.
They walked like this until the middle of the night, when they arrived at the foot of a mountain. They saw the upper half of the mountain shining with purple light, and the top of the mountain reaching into the sky, which was majestic and magnificent.
The long-necked man walking in the front finally slowed down his pace, pointed at the mountain glowing with purple light and said, "This is Zichen Peak. The Queen Mother should be resting now. We will go up tomorrow."
The other five beast spirits all agreed. They didn't even bother to find a nice, flat, comfortable place, or a secluded, safe place. They just randomly found a grass nest on the side of the road, stepped on it a few times, and it became their own cozy nest. Finally, they were satisfied and fell asleep on the ground.
Only Ci Hao took off his silk clothes carefully, folded them neatly, and then put them on a pile of soft grass with great care, fearing that he would damage his bright clothes. After putting his clothes away properly, he curled up naked in a clump of grass and fell asleep peacefully.
The beast spirits behaved strangely, so Ci Hao's actions were nothing new.
The mountain was filled with moisture, and Chu Xiaomu's clothes were already half wet, so he found an open space and built a small fire, wrapped in a Qing cloak and sleeping with Cheng Huang. The beast spirits ignored him.
I slept very soundly that night.
The next day, just after dawn, several beast spirits got up and woke up Chu Xiaomu to go up Zichen Peak with them.
Chu Xiaomu was so excited that he thought he could finally meet the Queen Mother who was in charge of the thousands of beast spirits in the Western Beast Mountain, that he jumped up from the ground.
Zi Chen Peak was much taller than Bu Jian Peak. The group did not walk fast and it took them more than an hour to reach the middle of the mountain.
Along the way, we began to see all kinds of strange houses and caves, from which little heads popped out. There were men and women, old and young, and they were naturally animal spirits.
They were all very curious when they saw a few beast spirits leading a man and a horse up the mountain. The braver and more mischievous beast spirits walked out of the house and cave, ran to Chu Xiaomu's side and kept looking at him, chirping and calling softly.
Lei Ling shouted fiercely: "Go away, go away, what's there to see?"
Those beast spirits were not afraid of him, instead they gathered around him in greater numbers.
Chu Xiaomu had only watched the strange little beasts that the Baihua Islanders had brought back with his friends since he was a child. He had never thought that he would become the object of the beast spirits' attention in the West Beast Mountain. The relationship between watching and being watched was completely reversed, which made him laugh.
After walking for a while, the number of small animal spirits gradually decreased. Zichen Peak finally began to show a trace of purple air. Looking carefully, it turned out that many trees on the mountain had purple leaves, which were in the shape of tassels, floating and turning, which was very different from the common trees.
The higher we went, the more these fringed purple-leaved trees we saw. In the end, there was only this kind of tree, so much so that the mist in the mountains was turned purple.
Chu Xiaomu thought to himself, this is naturally the origin of the name Zichen Peak.
As we approached the top of the mountain, we saw a large cluster of wooden houses with different heights and flying eaves among the tassel purple-leaved trees. They were built very elegantly and contrasted beautifully with the surrounding tassel purple-leaved trees, just like something out of a painting.
Although Chu Xiaomu didn't know much about the elegance of scenery, he could see that the scenery here was beautiful and could be called the best in the world. Compared with Bu Jian Peak, it was simply a world of difference.
I thought that even if the Queen Mother and the King of Beasts didn't quarrel, and the East and West Beast Mountains didn't break up, I should still return to Zichen Peak for the sake of this unique beauty in the world, or at least come back to visit more often.
While I was daydreaming, I heard someone say, "Long Neck, Wild Bull, has that man been brought to the top of the mountain?" The voice was as mellow as the fragrance of light smoke.
Chu Xiaomu looked towards the source of the voice and saw a woman in her thirties with long black hair and dressed in black. Although she was not very beautiful, she had a very mysterious charm that made people unable to help but look at her a few more times.
Changjing stepped aside, revealing Chu Xiaomu's figure, and said, "Of course I brought him up. It's him, his name is Chu Xiaomu." After saying that, he winked at Chu Xiaomu.
Chu Xiaomu understood and immediately knelt on one knee to greet the woman in black, saying loudly: "Chu Xiaomu from Bicheng, I greet the Queen Mother of the Western Beast Mountain..."
Ci Hao immediately shouted, "You've lost your mind. She...how can she be the Queen Mother?!"
Chu Xiaomu was stunned. He didn't expect to make such a big joke as soon as he arrived at Zichen Peak. He felt extremely embarrassed and didn't know how to respond for a while.
Ugly Pig came over and pulled Chu Xiaomu up, saying, "This is the beast mountain god, the crow woman, you are kneeling to the wrong person."
Chu Xiaomu glared at Ci Hao and said, "I haven't finished talking yet, why are you yelling?!" Then he knelt on one knee in front of the Crow Woman and said, "Chu Xiaomu from Bicheng, greetings to Sister Crow Woman, the fortune teller under the seat of the Queen Mother of the Western Beast Mountain." He originally thought that the Crow Woman was an ugly old woman who was at least sixty or seventy years old, but he didn't expect her to be a young woman with a pretty good appearance.
Ci Hao said angrily: "You seem to have shit in your brain, you think quickly!"
All the beast spirits laughed.
The crow woman sternly said to Ci Hao, "If you keep using foul language in Zichen Peak, I will make you mute!"
Ci Hao was startled and dared not say a word. He quietly retreated to the back of the beast spirits.
The crow woman turned to Chu Xiaomu, with a kind and joyful expression on her face, and said, "My little brother Chu, the Queen Mother knew you were coming, so she has been waiting in the living room since early morning. Let's go there and talk while we eat." After saying that, she extended her hand as a gesture of invitation, inviting Chu Xiaomu to go first.
Chu Xiaomu smiled and said, "Sister, please go first. I don't know the way."
The crow woman chuckled and said, "Yes, it seems that I am getting old and confused." She led the way to the living room she mentioned.
Chu Xiaomu followed her and was overjoyed. He thought that the East and West Beast Mountains were in a mess. He had been worried that he would not be welcomed by the Queen Mother if he rashly came to Zichen Peak to find her, let alone teach her how to cultivate spiritual power. But he did not expect that the Queen Mother would be so polite to a boy of humble status like me. This was really beyond his expectation.
The other beast spirits followed him and headed towards the living room together.
When I walked to a taller house, I saw the door was wide open and there was a flickering fire inside, obviously there were a lot of candles lit. There was also a strange fragrance of fruit wafting out, which made me salivate.
The ugly pig smacked his lips and said, "I'm so hungry, let's go in quickly."
The crow woman stood at the door and made another gesture of invitation, saying, "Brother Chu, please come in."
Chu Xiaomu didn't hesitate to step over the threshold and walked in.
Qisheng disappeared after reaching the top of Zichen Peak, probably because he went to eat grass.
