Moo~ (Master, don’t be afraid that I will reveal the secret. I can swear on my inner elixir that this matter is only known to the two of us.)
People who practice Taoism have a natural liking for the Green Ox. After all, the Three Pure Ones ascended to heaven riding on a Green Ox. Now that the Green Ox is willing to keep a secret for him, he might as well help if he can.
"You want me to help you make this shapeshifting grass grow?"
Qingniu nodded at him quickly.
Moo~ (I have searched many places and only found this one hundred-year-old transformation grass. But if I want to transform, it must take more than three hundred years, so I came to ask the Taoist priest for help.)
Gu Lingze was a little puzzled, but after thinking for a while he figured it out.
Even if he didn't have the medicine basket, Taoists also had several methods to promote the growth of spiritual herbs, but how long it would take depended on one's personal ability.
For Gu Lingze, this was just a piece of cake, but he still had to sigh that this Green Bull Demon was really brave. It was the first time he saw a demon in trouble, and he ran to the Taoist priest to ask for help. He was indeed a young man at heart, and a newborn calf was not afraid of a tiger.
"I promise to help you."
After hearing his answer, Qingniu shook his head happily again and pushed the transformation grass forward with his nose.
Gu Lingze had already prepared himself mentally. After all, this transformation grass had just been regurgitated from its stomach. He did not expect it to be dry when he held it in his hand. He could not help but feel an inexplicable sense of relief.
Moo~ (Thank you for your help, Taoist priest. Let’s make an appointment?)
Gu Lingze felt strange when he said this, "Just come back at this time tomorrow."
The blue ox nodded at him and mooed. (The Taoist priest helped me, and I have a gift for him.)
After saying this, the green ox turned around and walked into the woods.
Moo~ (Master, see you tomorrow.)
On the way down the mountain, Gu Lingze explained the matter to Zhao Chengmo. After listening, Zhao Chengmo didn't know what to say.
Gu Lingze went back and carefully observed the transformation grass, then placed it in the medicine basket.
He was also worried that if it grew too big, it would backfire and that would be bad.
So Gu Lingze came in to check every hour, until the transformation grass reached three hundred years old, he took it out of the medicine basket and waited to give it to the green ox boy tomorrow.
The next day, after breakfast, the two set off for the back mountain.
They walked into the depths of the dense forest again, and Qingniu was already waiting there.
Moo~ (Master, Master.)
Gu Lingze has now become somewhat accustomed to this left and right channel.
"Three hundred year old Transfiguration Grass, I give it to you."
Gu Lingze originally wanted to put it on the ground like he did yesterday, but unexpectedly, Qingniu walked over with his head shaking, and used his tongue to roll the transformation grass away from his hand.
Moo~ (Thank you, Taoist Priest.)
After the green ox swallowed the transformation grass into its stomach, it simply mooed twice and rubbed its head on Gu Lingze's hand affectionately.
At this time, Zhao Chengmo came over and separated the man and the cow. Gu Lingze couldn't help laughing. This man was even jealous of the cow. It was a bit cute.
Moo (Master, is he your Taoist partner?)
Gu Lingze smiled and glanced at Zhao Chengmo, "Yes."
Moo~ (But he is only a mortal.)
Gu Lingze was about to answer, but then he thought that although Qingniu had practiced for hundreds of years, he still had the mentality of a teenager, so it would be better not to talk about these things with a child.
Moo~ (Master, please come with me to get your thank-you gift.)
Gu Lingze raised his eyebrows curiously. What kind of thank-you gift did he have to get by himself?
Qingniu led the way in front, with Gu Lingze and Zhao Chengmo following behind.
I didn't expect that I would walk such a long distance.
Gu Lingze looked around, "Cheng Mo, have you been here before?"
Zhao Chengmo shook his head. "No, the mountains here are connected, and I can't go too deep."
Gu Lingze nodded, and continued to follow Qingniu with Zhao Chengmo.
As a result, this walk lasted another morning.
"Qingniu, where are you taking us?"
Moo~ (Go get the thank you gift.)
Gu Lingze couldn't help but complain in his heart, wondering what kind of mysterious thank-you gift it was that they had to go get it in person? They had already climbed over a mountain.
"Cheng Mo, are you tired? How about we take a break?
Zhao Chengmo shook his head. "I'm fine. This is a much shorter distance than when we marched and fought before. Didn't you return the talisman paper?"
Moo~ (Master, you are walking too slowly, hurry up and catch up.)
Gu Lingze: ...
I didn't expect that I would be rejected by a cow.
In this way, the sun set again, and Gu Lingze felt that he and Zhao Chengmo had definitely walked out of the border of Xuyang County.
"Little Blue Ox, how long will it take us to walk? We have to go home at night." Gu Lingze was now completely helpless.
Moo~ (Master, follow me. You will not be disappointed.)
Gu Lingze had no choice but to release a paper bird, gave it some instructions, and told it to go find Gu Xiuyi.
The walk lasted until night again.
Zhao Chengmo took off his outer robe and put it on Gu Lingze, but Gu Lingze was afraid that he would catch a cold, so the two of them went back and forth, giving in to each other.
Moo~ (You two stop being affectionate and follow me!)
Gu Lingze: ...
Little Qingniu, I kind of hate you now.
When Gu Xiuyi received the paper bird from Gu Lingze, he was completely confused.
What does it mean to follow a cow to find something? What can you find by following a cow?
Gu Xiuyi's question can only be answered after the two of them come back.
After that, Gu Xiuyi deliberately walked around the door, and then walked in with a letter he had written in advance, telling everyone that something happened at Prefect Yao's place, and that Gu Lingze and Zhao Chengmo would have to stay in the city tonight.
"Cheng Mo, do you think we are still in the territory of Beiyong Prefecture?"
Zhao Chengmo looked around and said, "I'm not sure, but based on the distance, it should still be within the territory of Beiyong Prefecture."
Gu Lingze thought several times that they were almost there, but he didn't expect Qingniu to keep moving forward.
Finally, the two men and the ox arrived at a mountain wall. The way up was very steep, but the green ox climbed up very easily like a goat, which made Gu Lingze and Zhao Chengmo very tired.
After reaching the top of the mountain, the outline of the sunrise could be vaguely seen, and the blue ox finally stopped.
Gu Lingze looked around, and her first impression was that this was a primeval forest, with very thick trees everywhere and the bushes were also very tall, almost up to his waist.
The vines on the ground were tangled and the air was cold and damp, as if water vapor was constantly blowing in your face.
The little green ox had just stopped, as if it was trying to identify the direction, and now it started walking eastward again.
Along the way, there are all kinds of vines as thick as wrists hanging down from the trees, and you have to climb over all kinds of strangely shaped boulders. You can't use your body skills randomly here, otherwise you may sprain your ankle when you land.
Suddenly, bursts of roaring water sounds were heard, like a rushing river.
