The southern border mountain peaks, were completely different from the Central Plains mountains, less elegant and serene, more lofty and precipitous.
Under the night sky, undulating mountain ranges towered majestically, crisscrossing each other, looking from afar, it exuded an austere air.
Ghost Li clasped his hands behind his back, gazed into the distance, separated by two lower mountain tops, behind a rather flat wilderness, four lofty peaks suddenly rose from the ground, linked together, encircling a valley. Behind these four lofty peaks, under the vast night sky, were innumerable shadows, it was the southern border boundless ten thousand great mountains.
And at the forefront of the four peaks, was the world renowned FenXiang Valley.
This night, the night was deep, the serene moon hanging high, a few stars glimmering indistinctly in the horizon. Under that cold clear moonlight, there seemed to be a faint mist in the distant valley, faintly drifting, like a fine veil of mist, in the serene beauty carried some mysteriousness.
Ghost Li frowned, looked away.
It was already the third day, ever since that night three days ago, he and Evil Sect HeHuan Sect Jin PingEr suddenly discovered that FenXiang Valley seemed to be secretly colluding with the southern barbarian tribes in the southern border ten thousand great mountains and decided to secretly investigate FenXiang Valley. 'FenXiang Valley' these three words in the southern border, naturally pierced the ears like thunder, both of them easily found out where FenXiang Valley was. But when they really wanted to sneak in, they discovered that things were rather troublesome.
FenXiang Valley occupied a vast area, logically it should not be difficult to sneak in. And it was indeed so, both of them with their own skills, easily avoided the FenXiang Valley ordinary disciples who were on guard day and night but who knew that every time they reached a relatively deep part of FenXiang Valley, no matter how they hid themselves, an inexplicable clear bell sound would be heard nearby, immediately attracting numerous FenXiang Valley disciples to search carefully, among them were not ordinary experts.
Ghost Li and Jin PingEr were alert people, a few times they were early and retreated in time but no matter how careful they were, they still could not avoid this inexplicable bell sound, after a few days, they were still unable to penetrate deep. FenXiang Valley instead seemed to be on alert and had already sent more people to patrol day and night.
Ghost Li pondered for a long while but still could not figure out how FenXiang Valley managed to predict their whereabouts, seemed like this FenXiang Valley, one of the three great sects of the Good Faction, was indeed a place of crouching tigers and hidden dragons.
At this moment, Xiao Hui who had been quietly lying on his shoulder suddenly moved, a low voice was heard from behind:
"Ah!"
Ghost Li turned and saw in a small open space in the forest, a fire was lit, Jin PingEr sat in front, holding a wooden stick in her hand, on the stick was a freshly washed wild rabbit being roasted. At this moment, she furrowed her brows and looked at the wooden stick in her hand, looking rather dejected.
Ghost Li walked over.
These three days, he and Jin PingEr had tried several times to sneak into FenXiang Valley but all ended in failure and their relationship was rather subtle, on the surface they appeared to be at peace but secretly they were on guard against each other, both knew that the other party was a scheming and ruthless person, nobody knew if the other party would suddenly make a killing move.
Walking nearer to the bonfire, Xiao Hui on his shoulder called out, jumped down to the ground, Ghost Li looked at Jin PingEr, couldn't help but was stunned, she looked helplessly at the wild rabbit skewered on the wooden stick in her hand, one of the rabbit's legs was actually burnt.
Both of them had been wandering around FenXiang Valley for a few days, in this kind of wilderness, naturally there were no villages or inns around, after a few days of eating rations, Ghost Li was fine but Jin PingEr could not take it anymore. That night, she happened to see a wild rabbit running past and conveniently caught it, making a fire to have a change of taste. Anyway their location was quite far from FenXiang Valley and they were not afraid of being discovered.
Just that looking at it now, although Jin PingEr's skills were high but she had never had this kind of wild barbecue experience, after a few times, she did not master her technique properly and actually roasted the food until it was burnt black. This time Ghost Li stood in front, Xiao Hui half crouched on the ground, one human and one monkey, four eyes all landed on that burnt rabbit's leg. Jin PingEr's face actually turned red, slowly retracted the wooden stick and left the fire.
[Zhi zhi, zhi zhi …] suddenly, a strange sound, it was the monkey Xiao Hui laughing loudly, crouching on the ground, its tail stood up high, swaying to and fro, its right hand clenched into a fist, continuously hammering the ground, as if it could not bear it, it actually made an unimaginable action.
Jin PingEr and Ghost Li were stunned at the same time, after a moment both recovered, Jin PingEr was shocked and a trace of anger flashed past her face, Ghost Li too did not know where did this monkey learn to ridicule others without rhyme or reason, even though it was rare for it to leave him, Ghost Li did not know from where did this monkey learn this skill of ridiculing others. He glanced at Jin PingEr, coughed once, his left leg kicked lightly, kicking the monkey who was still hammering the ground incessantly.
Xiao Hui rolled away like a gourd but the sounds, were still heard from afar.
Ghost Li and Jin PingEr looked at each other, the atmosphere became awkward, Ghost Li looked at the wooden stick in Jin PingEr's hand and then moved a rock over, sat on it, said to Jin PingEr, "Give it to me."
Jin PingEr was surprised, Ghost Li's face was indifferent, stretched his hand to take the stick, first tore off the burnt part and then placed it back on the fire, slowly turning it over to roast. His way of barbecuing was naturally very different from Jin PingEr, the flames swallowed and spat out, the wooden stick gently turned, after a short while, a faint fragrance, gradually spread out.
Jin PingEr looked up and glanced at him, saw that under the light, his usually pale face had turned rosy, in his deep black eyes, two balls of small burning flames were reflected in his eyes.
A man who was concentrating on barbecuing for her …
In the air, it suddenly became silent, no one spoke. Jin PingEr slowly looked away, picked up a few dried branches and placed it into the fire, the fire gradually burned up, drowning the branches, from time to time sounds of the branches exploding were heard.
In the distant treetops, there seemed to be a night breeze blowing past, the rustling sounds of branches and leaves, landed on one's heart.
Xiao Hui had run back again, a few wild fruits in its hands, seemed like it had just run into the forest to pluck them. It walked to the fire, looked around, sat down beside Ghost Li's feet, brought the fruits to its mouth, opened its mouth and started to chew, at the same time its long tail swayed and finally gently wrapped around Ghost Li's leg.
And like that, after a long time in silence, the fragrance in the air became thicker, that wild rabbit on top of the fire gradually oozed out oil, slowly dripping down, looking glossy, with one look it made one's appetite rise, Jin PingEr could not help but take a few more glances.
After a while, Ghost Li carefully assessed the rabbit, kept the wooden stick, with one hand holding it, the other stretched to his waist, after a while he took out a few small bottles and cans, sprinkled something that looked like powder on the rabbit's body.
Jin PingEr was surprised, said, "What is this?"
Ghost Li smiled, Jin PingEr looked at him, for some reason felt that he had some bitterness, Ghost Li indifferently said, "Just some salt and seasoning, it's an old habit, I always bring it with me wherever I go." After speaking, he passed the wooden stick to Jin PingEr.
Jin PingEr hesitated for a moment but did not take it.
Ghost Li's eyes flashed, smiled indifferently, tore a piece of rabbit meat and put it into his mouth.
Jin PingEr blushed, in the fire, a coquettish look flashed in her eyes, captivating one's soul, after a while she stretched out her hand to take the stick, quietly said, "Many thanks gongzi."
Ghost Li did not speak, turned his head and conveniently took a wild fruit from Xiao Hui, put it to his mouth, slowly took a bite and started to eat.
"Ya!"
Suddenly, Jin PingEr gave a soft cry, seemed to carry a little pain, Ghost Li and the monkey Xiao Hui looked up at her at the same time, saw Jin PingEr's fair hand covering her mouth, her eyebrows slightly frowning, indistinctly showing pain. Just that she suddenly realized Ghost Li and Xiao Hui were looking over, her face blushed and after a long while embarrassedly said, "I was not careful and was scalded …" towards the end, her voice gradually became softer.
Ghost Li heard it, the corner of his mouth twitched but his expression did not change, just that Xiao Hui beside his feet suddenly made a sound, in the sounds, it grinned, the wild fruit in its right hand dropped to the ground and then it clenched its fist and hammered the ground, seemed like it wanted to do that strange posture again.
Jin PingEr's eyes froze, her heart was ashamed and angry but before she could react, before Xiao Hui's hand hammered the ground, Ghost Li had already lightly kicked, Xiao Hui like a rolling gourd was kicked out.
After a while, Ghost Li indifferently said, "The beast is not sensible, don't take it to heart."
Jin PingEr glanced at him, composed herself, nodded with a smile and then gently blew at the roasted rabbit beside her and then used her white shallot like fingers to tear a small piece of meat from it, put it into her mouth and started chewing.
Once it entered her mouth, Jin PingEr immediately perked up, instantly felt that the fragrance seemed to have spirituality, spread throughout her body, her body seemed to become lighter, her mouth was full of saliva, this taste was something she had never tasted before. The skin on the outside was crispy but not burnt, thin but fragrant; the meat inside was smooth and tender, with the addition of the seasoning that she did not know how, the delicacy seemed to seep into her heart and spleen, this taste made her unable to stop, almost lost in thought, she never would have thought that this delicacy was made by this man in front of her.
Even with Jin PingEr's profound skills and strong will, right now her appetite was also whetted, she tore piece after piece, in a short while, she had already eaten a rabbit leg, only then did she feel somewhat full and stopped. Following which she smiled and looked at Ghost Li, said, "GongZi's skills are really good, an ordinary rabbit, can actually be roasted to such a delicacy by you!"
At this time the monkey Xiao Hui had already ran back, crouched beside Ghost Li, a pair of extremely agile monkey eyes darting around, for a moment looking at Ghost Li, for a moment looking at Jin PingEr.
Ghost Li indifferently said, "Insignificant skill, I have let Miss see a joke."
Jin PingEr smiled sweetly, her countenance charming, her eyes watery, gently said, "In my entire life, I have never eaten such a delicious rabbit!"
