Chapter 111 The Master of the Purple Copper Cave
Wen Lanzhi couldn't think of it, but she felt that if she said it directly, she would seem stupid, so she simply lay down on the table and fell asleep.
Wu Ciyan had no choice but to drag her to the bed.
Parrot Twelve said that he couldn't find Deputy Chief Zuo's original skin, and it was probably buried by the fox demon, so he found him another skin and asked him to use it for the time being.
It was the skin of a white-haired old man. Judging from the degree of wear and tear on the skin, the old man had probably died of old age. Parrot Twelve had specially picked it out from the mass grave. He felt that there was no psychological burden in using it.
The next morning, Wu Ci Yan said that he wanted to send Deputy Chief Zuo back to his original place and be with the fox. However, Deputy Chief Zuo refused to do so and insisted that he would be regarded as a traitor if he went back like this, and he still wanted to follow Wu Ci Yan.
Wu Ci Yan didn't want him, so he let him follow Wu Twelve back to the imperial city of the demon world. If he could find a better skin during that time, he would change it for him and compensate him with a house.
Qin'an boasts picturesque mountains and beautiful scenery. If it weren't for the demon-hunting, it would truly be a wonderful place for a stroll. This demon has truly chosen a prime spot for her cultivation. It's said that after she took possession of this area, the demons below the mountain are forbidden to pass through. If they insist on crossing, they must leave money for passage. Mortals passing through here are doomed to die.
Wen Lanzhi completely forgot what she came here for and ran the fastest. Wu Ciyan found a rope and tied one around Wen Lanzhi's waist and the other around his own waist.
"Hmm?" Wen Lanzhi tilted her head in confusion.
Wu Ciyan said: "You will know why in a moment."
These words came true quickly. In less than half an hour, Wen Lanzhi understood.
The mountain was too high and the road too steep, she really couldn't climb anymore. Murong was walking in front, not noticing Wen Lanzhi's condition. Wu Ciyan kept slowing down his pace, and when he turned around, he saw Wen Lanzhi had bent over, holding the rope tightly, as if she was holding a lifeline.
When they reached a stream, Murong stepped across it, followed closely by Wu Ciyan, who turned around and extended his hand to Wen Lanzhi.
Wen Lanzhi took a step forward and raised her neck.
Wu Ci Yan hesitated for a moment, then grabbed Wen Lanzhi's collar in front of Murong and carried her across the stream.
Murong's pupils shrank slightly, and she asked with a helpless smile: "What are you doing?"
Wu Ciyan found a big tree by the stream and sat down. "I'm tired. Let's rest for a while before we go on."
"Okay." Murong responded and sat down.
Wen Lanzhi was already exhausted. When she heard that she could rest, she grinned and sat down next to Wu Ciyan.
Wen Lanzhi asked, "What did you say the Moon Goddess wanted to do last night?"
Wu Ciyan said, "He's so afraid of the truth being exposed, so of course he doesn't want me to meet the master of the Purple Copper Cave. As long as he finds the Jinyu first and gives it to me, I won't have to go to the Purple Copper Cave again. Or, even if I discover the truth, as long as he has the Jinyu, he can use it in exchange for me. I'll keep it a secret for him, and he'll give me the Jinyu. He's sure this matter doesn't matter to me, so there's no need for me to go against him for a cave master I don't know."
"Oh—" Wen Lanzhi nodded and responded, "You are really amazing."
Wu Ciyan said, "Of course."
Murong asked, "What kind of person is the cave master?"
Wu Ciyan said, "It's something that will not embarrass the gods too much."
"Nine-tailed fox?" Murong asked.
Wu Ciyan nodded, "You know?"
Murong said, "I have a vague suspicion, but I'm not sure. I've been in heaven for a long time, and I've had some interactions with the Supreme God Yuehua. His character isn't great, but he knows his limits. I always felt he wouldn't adopt a monster as his adopted son, but it turns out to be a nine-tailed fox."
Wen Lanzhi didn't understand and asked, "Isn't it because the cave master is pregnant? What does it have to do with the nine-tailed fox?"
Wu Ciyan snorted coldly and said with a smile, "That's a huge difference. The Nine-Tailed Fox's ancestors have quite a connection with the gods. If Yuehua had taken in an ordinary monster, even if he only occasionally taught it some magic, all kinds of rumors would have arisen. At the very least, it would be a debt of love, at the most, it would be a profit exchange. But the Nine-Tailed Fox is different. The gods in the heavens all think that the Nine-Tailed Fox was born with a destiny to be an immortal, but just lacked an opportunity. The Lord Yuehua gave the Nine-Tailed Fox this opportunity out of his compassion. Even if the Nine-Tailed Fox ascends to heaven as a mount in the future, it will be thanks to the Lord Yuehua's blessing. The whole world is grateful for his kindness on behalf of the Nine-Tailed Fox."
Wen Lanzhi asked, "If the Nine-Tailed Fox can't become an immortal, wouldn't that ruin Yue Hua Shangshen's reputation? So he has to do everything he can to help the Nine-Tailed Fox become an immortal?"
"That won't happen." Wu Ciyan said, "If the Nine-Tailed Fox can't become a god, it's because she didn't work hard enough and has no talent, and she has failed the kindness of the Goddess Yuehua. Yuehua would rather she stay in Qin'an Mountain forever and never come out."
Wen Lanzhi leaned against the tree trunk, tilted her head, and rested her head on Wu Ci Yan's shoulder. The wind blew over and made her sneeze. She rubbed her nose and continued to lean on Wu Ci Yan's shoulder.
"Okay, the sun is setting." Murong stood up. Her hair was a little messy from the wind. She took off her hairband and tied it up again. "Let's continue on our journey."
Wu Ci Yan patted Wen Lanzhi's head, turned her into a rabbit, stuffed her into his purse, and continued on his way.
A huge roar suddenly came, and even the ground shook. The two people looked in the direction of the sound and saw a huge rock falling from the mountain and coming towards them.
The stone rolled very fast, and in the blink of an eye, it was in front of the two of them.
Wu Ci Yan stretched out his hand and pointed, and the stone immediately stood still, without any danger.
Murong knew that a stone could not do anything to them, so she did not show any fear. Wen Lanzhi was scared silly. Only after she was completely safe did she remember to be afraid. She grabbed Wu Ciyan's legs twice through the purse and clothes, and rolled around in the purse.
Wu Ciyan reached into his purse and pinched her front paw, "Stop it."
Murong turned around in confusion, "Talk to me?"
Wu Ciyan said, "Talking to ghosts."
Murong saw his hand reaching into the purse and understood.
Wu Ciyan pointed again, and the stone instantly shattered into powder.
"It's a bit strange." Wu Ci Yan said.
"Yes." Murong said, and was about to speak when she was interrupted by Wu Ciyan.
"Come, take a look and see if there's anything strange." Wu Ciyan pulled Wen Lanzhi out of the purse, supported her with his other hand, and forced her to face the direction the stone came from. "Use your brain quickly, or your brain will rust if you don't use it."
As soon as she finished speaking, Wen Lanzhi suddenly began to struggle violently, all four legs struggling hard, her two big feet taking turns slapping Wu Ciyan's palms, making crisp sounds. Wu Ciyan thought it sounded strangely nice, so he moved his hands closer to her feet. Wen Lanzhi became even more angry, slapping even harder, and the sounds became faster and crisper.
Murong held her forehead and said helplessly: "You two, stop playing."
Another stone flew out of the cliff and rolled along the same road, interrupting the conversations of several people.
Wu Ci Yan had just put Wen Lanzhi back into his purse when two, three, four, eight, nine, ten, eleven, and twelve stones all flew down and rolled towards him from all directions.
Wu Ci Yan raised his hand and erected four solid rock walls. The rocks smashed down, making a loud noise, then broke into pieces and collapsed to the ground.
Murong said, "It's amazing! These rocks are so big, but not a single one of them got stuck in the trees. They didn't even touch anything. The path these rocks took to slide down seemed perfectly planned."
Wu Ciyan said, "How else can it be said that mortals can enter but cannot leave?"
Murong looked at the purse on Wu Ciyan's waist and said worriedly, "Rabbits are easily frightened. She didn't move at all despite such a loud noise. Maybe she was frightened to death."
Wu Ciyan said, "I used magic to block her ears. Besides, no matter how stupid she is, she is still a monster. How could she be frightened to death so easily?"
Murong shouted, "After this incident, I'm afraid she won't dare to follow you again."
Wu Ciyan said in a normal tone, "That's hard to say."
"What did you say?" Murong asked loudly, "Speak louder. The noise is too loud and I can't hear you."
Wu Ciyan shouted, "I say! It would be best if she doesn't follow me! I'm so annoyed! I'll send her away when I get back!"
Murong shouted, "Why not give it to me? I want it!"
Wu Ciyan paused, then shook his head twice seriously.
Murong smiled and stopped teasing.
There were loud sounds of killing outside, but Wen Lanzhi was feeling relaxed in her purse. Wu Ci Yan's body temperature was very cold, which caused the temperature in the purse to drop as well. Wen Lanzhi rubbed Wu Ci Yan's legs twice and felt her whole body cool down.
She stuck her head out and saw that the rocks outside had stopped and the rock wall had been lowered.
Wu Ciyan lowered his head, looked at her, and asked, "Why did you come out?"
Wen Lanzhi scratched his hands twice with her claws.
Wu Ciyan asked with a smile, "Are you worried about me?"
Wen Lanzhi nodded.
Wu Ciyan's smile widened, "You're just worrying for nothing."
Murong sighed and said, "Just now I was thinking that if we follow the direction where the stones came from, we should be able to find the master of the Purple Copper Cave. But now stones are coming from all directions. Where should we look for him now?"
Just as she finished speaking, she suddenly heard a shout: "How skilled are you!"
A man appeared on the top of the hill.
Wu Ciyan said, "This is the former residence of the master of the Purple Copper Cave."
Murong asked in surprise: "Why do you know her?"
Wu Ciyan said, "It's a long story."
Murong asked, "Then why doesn't she recognize you?"
Wu Ciyan said, "Uh...we knew each other before, it's a long story."
Shi Ju saw that the two people were actually chatting and had no intention of paying attention to her, and she became angry, "Great! How dare you ignore this cave master! Come! Give me..."
"That's not the case!" Murong shouted. "Cave Master, please calm down. We didn't know your identity just now. We apologize. I am the Heavenly God Murong, and this is the Demon King Wu Ciyan. We both have a favor to ask of you. I heard that the God Yuehua has already sent a letter to the Cave Master. I wonder if you received it?"
Silence resounded through the sky.
The two sides looked at each other for a long time, but no one spoke.
Shi Ju thought about it. She had received a flying letter from Yuehua, but she had already made up her mind to break off all ties with Yuehua. She thought that Yuehua would come back today and talk to her about it. She thought about it for a long time last night, whether to kill him or let him go, but that guy only left a letter and disappeared at all.
At this moment, Yuehua’s friend came, should we receive him?
It seems that she has no choice. Even if she can defeat the God Murong, she cannot defeat Wu Ci Yan.
She said, "Then come into the cave and rest your feet. But let me be frank, this cave master has no relationship with the Moonlight God. Don't think that just because you are his friends, I will help you."
