"Erfu had a human face and a snake's body. Erfu's minister was named Wei. Wei and Erfu killed Yayu. The emperor then imprisoned Wei on Mount Shushu, shackled his right foot, bound his hands and hair behind his back, and tied him to a tree on the mountain. Erfu was then trapped on the shore of the North Sea. Cough cough cough cough, a thousand miles east of Queshan."
This passage is only a few words long, but Xingxing changed his voice several times, from the voice of a young child to the voice of a young woman, and finally to the voice of an old man in the last sentence. He even imitated the cough perfectly.
The meaning of this passage is actually quite simple, roughly the same as what Yin Wenjiao said. It is said that Erfu is a god with a human face and a snake body. He conspired with his minister "Wei" to murder Yayu. As a result, the Heavenly Emperor punished Wei by binding Wei's feet, binding his arms and hair behind his back, and tying him to a place called Shushu Mountain. Erfu was trapped on the shore of the North Sea, a thousand miles east of Queshan.
"Thank you for pointing me in the right direction."
Xu Milu was in a hurry to get on her way. After getting the answer she wanted, she immediately headed in the direction the Xingxing had pointed out. However, the Xingxing still did not show itself; all that could be seen was its tail hanging down from the treetop and swaying.
After the wind blew, the forest returned to calm. Small animals of various shapes continued to roam the woods, and the flying pheasants flew back to the sea. The orchids under the trees swayed in the wind, as if Xu Milu had never appeared.
Xu Milu climbed onto A Chou's back, glanced back at the still glowing Zhaoyao Mountain, and couldn't help but want to record the beautiful scenery in her mind.
—This mountain has existed for so long that, to it, she was just a creature that passed by in a certain year and month, no different from the ostriches running in the mountains or the birds flying in the sky. The mountain wouldn't even remember that she had ever been there.
But for her, the trip to Queshan was destined to be an indelible memory. Although it was just a fleeting glimpse, the unique romance and fantasy of Journey to the West was deeply imprinted in her heart.
Perhaps that's the allure of adventure.
...
...
Xu Milu sighed for a while before gently patting Ah Chou's shell, signaling it to continue on its way.
"Caw caw caw!"
Ah Chou was unusually excited. Xu Milu looked down and saw the dog sneakily move away from where it had been lying, revealing a large patch of gold that had been hidden under the tortoise shell.
The impact of a single piece of gold is different from that of a mountain of gold. The glittering gold nuggets piled together, large and small, shimmer with a mesmerizing brilliance under the glow of the magnolia tree; any earthling who sees them would find it hard to breathe.
Whether in fairy tales or myths, people often use "gold mountains" to describe immense wealth, but only after seeing the real thing can one truly appreciate how awe-inspiring it is to see so much gold piled up here.
Valuable precious metals on Earth are just "stones" that can be found everywhere on the beach, casually and capriciously thrown on the sand.
Xu Milu suddenly lost her artistic flair.
Ah Chou dug up so much gold, no wonder this thing didn't follow her when she first arrived in the mountains, it turns out it was panning for gold here!
Although she had just dug up a few pieces of gold, compared to Ah Chou's "gold mountain," those pieces of gold paled in comparison.
"Gaga gaga gaga! Gaga gaga! Gaga gaga gaga!"
[Buy, buy, buy! Wow! Buy it all for Mom! To exchange for delicious red, green, and yellow berries, so she can eat and eat and eat and eat and eat and eat!]
Ah Chou cried out joyfully, its beady eyes shining with a clear yet foolish light. Xu Milu understood its meaning almost instantly.
"Red fruit" is ping-pong grape, "green fruit" is giant delicious radish, and "yellow fruit" must be wheat ear egg.
She ruffled Ah Chou's big head, stored that small "golden mountain" in her system inventory, and surprisingly refrained from correcting Ah Chou's way of addressing her:
"Okay, I'll rely on you to support me from now on. Let's go, let's continue our search for the Ghost Kingdom."
"Caw caw caw caw!"
When Ah Chou saw Xu Milu accept the gold, he happily dived into the water, splashing his four feet on the surface.
Xiaoqi suddenly retorted, not wanting to be outdone:
[Host, although I don't understand Earthlings' obsession with gold, if you like gold, once the dimensional jump system is repaired, I can help you circumvent the risks of interstellar law and directly buy the entire development rights to the Journey to the West dimension. Then this mountain will be yours.]
Xu Milu: "..."
Why do I always feel a faint sour smell in the air?
Is this the legendary moment of the first and second child vying for favor?
She suddenly realized.
