Chapter 25: The Flying Dagger Shines Again

  Tree god, tree god, please grant me power quickly. I just want to face you and make a wish for my marriage destiny, so I climbed Qinglong Mountain. If you give me the power, I can take faster steps and see you sooner.

  Tang Danqing thought so, but her footsteps slowed down, and her long legs began to tremble.

  Huā Dié grabbed Táng Dān Qīng's arm and scolded, "Liáng Fēng Yáng, you little brat, how did you become a guide? What kind of broken road are you leading us on? Walking this road is even harder than cutting through the enemy lines! Are you intentionally trying to exhaust me and Táng Dān Qīng so that you can stand in front of us and laugh loudly?"

  "I never thought that exhausting both of you would bring me any benefit or give me a sense of accomplishment. The path to the Green Dragon Mountain and the path to the Tree Spirit are indeed multiple, but none of them are easy to walk."

  Liang Fengyang could naturally see that Huadie's physical strength was more than enough to climb to the top of the mountain in one breath, but the key was Tang Danqing, this young lady from a wealthy family whose physical strength had been exhausted to the extreme.

  "Carry me on your back and I'll carry you up the mountain."

  "Not used."

  "No need to be polite, come on up." Liang Fengya nodded and came down to make a gesture of wanting to carry Tang Danqing.

  "I'll climb myself." Tang Danqing seemed to want to kick Liang Fengyang, but her long legs had just lifted off the ground when her slender body swayed on the steep mountain road. If Liang Fengyang hadn't grabbed her arm in time, she would have fallen over.

  "Sit down and take a break, drink some water before continuing to climb." Liang Fengyang supported Tang Danqing as they sat down together.

  The butterfly also sat down, took the mineral water handed over by Liang Fengyang, opened the lid and drank half a bottle in one breath, tilted her head to look at the mountain: "How far is it from the tree spirit?"

  "We've only walked a third of the way so far. At this speed, it would be good if we can reach the foot of the Tree God by 12 o'clock noon."

  When Liang Fengyang said this, Hua Die didn't care, but Tang Danqing was almost in tears. It's really not easy to face the tree god and ask for a marriage.

  "There's a snake!"

  The butterfly's eyes were sharp and saw that flower snake crawling up Tandanqing's calf, so it screamed.

  This snake is highly aggressive and will attack without hesitation if a pedestrian disturbs its quiet.

  The butterfly discovered the snake but it was too late, Tang Danqing would be bitten by the snake in an instant.

  The snake has spat out all its venom, the situation is extremely urgent!

  With a metallic whoosh, Liang Feng's flying dagger shot out like lightning towards the flower-spotted snake and struck its head. The snake's body twisted and shook for a moment before coiling into a ball.

  It was a scene that could only be described as swift, ruthless and accurate.

  Liang Fengyang picked up the spotted snake that had attempted to attack Tang Danqing, with a faint smile on his face. He walked over and stepped on the snake's body, making sure it was dead. Then he pulled out the flying knife stuck in the snake's head, poured some mineral water on it, and wiped it clean with a paper towel.

  Once again, they witnessed the might of Liang Feng's flying knife, and Tang Danqing and Huadie were once again shocked by its powerful force.

  Qinghu County, a small mountainous place, unexpectedly has such a capable person, which verifies the saying that high-handed people are in the folk. Tang Danqing and Hua Die were shocked beyond measure.

  First, the flower snake startled him, and then the flying knife that Liang Fengyang suddenly threw out surprised him. Tang Danqing couldn't get out of it for a long time, staring at Liang Fengyang's handsome face with an incredulous and disbelieving gaze.

  "You're really amazing, that instant just now was enough to prove that your flying knife wasn't wasted! If it weren't for your flying knife being fast enough, I'm afraid I would have been bitten by that spotted snake and might have died on this Qinglong Mountain, Feng Yang, thank you so much!"

  In the face of Tang Danqing's praise and gratitude, Liang Fengyang didn't say anything, his smiling face became even more radiant.

  On Liang Fengyang's face, Tang Danqing saw two words: Powerful!

  Tang Danqing said: "Let me appreciate your flying knife."

  "Good."

  Liang Fengyang placed the snow-bright steel knife in Tang Danqing's soft small hand, and the instant touch of Tang Danqing's skin felt like an electric shock.

  Tang Danqing gazed at the sharp steel knife, about 15 cm long, with a fascinated expression. After a moment, he smiled and said: "Where was your flying knife just now? And how did it get into your hand?"

  "Confidential."

  Tang Danqing said urgently: "Feng Yang, tell me."

  "I won't tell you."

  “……”

  Tang Danqing was speechless, and she pinched Liang Fengyang's arm, turning her head away, refusing to look at him.

  Liang Fengyang smiled and said: "Dan Qing, don't be angry, because I almost never tell others where my flying knife is hidden, this is my principle."

  "I understand."

  Tang Danqing didn't plan on asking anymore.

  The butterfly wanted to search Liang Fengyang's body, to see how many flying knives he had hidden on him, but she knew that Liang Fengyang would not agree to this, so she eventually gave up the idea.

  The butterfly said: "You put that snake in your bag, it seems we have snake meat for lunch?"

  "Yeah, the wild game we had at noon included snake meat. Actually, I don't usually kill snakes on my own initiative, but this striped snake was too arrogant and even dared to bite my friend, so it deserved to be eaten by us." said Liang Fengyang.

  Tang Danqing and Hua Die both burst out laughing. They had both eaten snake meat before, but they didn't know what this flower-spotted snake tasted like.

  Continue climbing the mountain.

  Still it was Liang Fengyang in the lead, Tang Danchen and Hua Die in the rear. Before long, Tang Danchen was exhausted again, even letting out some sighs from her red lips, her feet as if wearing fetters, slowing down to an extreme degree.

  If we climb at this speed, I'm afraid it will be sunset before we see the tree spirit.

  The butterfly said helplessly: "Dan Qing, in order to see the tree spirit sooner, why don't you just let the wind carry you on your back!"

  Liang Fengyang also meant this, Tang Danqing could only compromise and climbed onto Liang Fengyang's back, with the soft upper body tightly attached to Liang Fengyang's back.

  Liang Fengyang's hands held up Tang Danqing's plump buttocks, and he quickly marched forward towards the mountain, the flower butterfly indeed able to keep up with Liang Fengyang's footsteps.

  Carrying a woman of over 100 catties on his back, walking up such a steep mountain road, Liang Fengyang's footsteps were as swift as the wind, showing that his physical strength was indeed exceptionally strong.

  Buttocks were held by Liang Fengyang's hands, Tang Danqing was very shy and whispered: "Fengyang, how much power do you have in your body?"

  "I don't know either."

  Carrying Tang Danqing up Qinglong Mountain made Liang Fengyang feel very accomplished, and he hoped that after meeting the tree spirit, Tang Danqing's wish would have something to do with him.

  Huā Dié Qīnpèi said: "Fēng Yáng, you are the man with the best physical ability I have ever seen. You must have undergone devil training before?"

  "It's always been me training myself, but I'm not a devil, so I haven't undergone devil training."

  Liang Fengyang's footsteps quickened, and Tang Danqing's slender body almost tumbled onto his back. The butterfly was about to fall behind Liang Fengyang's footsteps.

  The tree god is right in front of you.

  Tang Danqing and Hua Die finally saw that the sturdy and tall tree god was a pine tree, with its neck twisted but looking very honest.

  Two beauties from big cities, it's their first time to see such a sturdy pine tree, they even think this crooked-necked pine tree is more amazing than the Welcoming Pine of Huangshan Mountain, and are taking pictures in front of it.

  A majestic and bizarre posture greeted them.

  Tang Danqing said in a genuine Yanjin accent: "Are you a tree spirit?"

  "I am the tree spirit, I am the tree spirit on Qinglong Mountain in Qinghu County. Tang Danqing, big sister, you can make a sincere wish to me, and I will fulfill your wishes."

  This low and mysterious voice was definitely not the voice of the tree spirit, but rather the voice that Liang Fengyang had deliberately made.

  The butterfly heard very clearly, it was just Liang Fengyang speaking earlier. She suppressed her smile and lifted her long legs to kick Liang Fengyang. Liang Fengyang patted the butterfly's small leg, and the butterfly glared at him with her eyes, as if reminding him not to eat her tofu in front of the tree god.

  Tang Danqing's brain short-circuited, and she didn't even realize that the sound just now was made by Liang Fengyang. She thought it was the tree spirit speaking, and only she could hear the tree spirit's voice, while Liang Fengyang and Hua Die couldn't hear it.

  Tang Danqing's beautiful melon-seed face appeared with a mysterious and infatuated expression, she turned her head to look at Liang Fengyang: "The tree spirit has already communicated with me, I want to make a wish in front of the tree spirit, do I need to kneel down in front of the tree spirit?"

  "In our Qinghu County, when people face the tree god to make a wish, some kneel down, while others bow. My suggestion is to bow. If you want to kneel down, it's also okay," said Liang Fengyang.

  Tang Danqing gazed at the tree spirit in a daze for a while, then knelt down in front of it, gave three head knocks, clasped her hands together and placed them on her chest, making a sincere wish.

  Liang Fengyang was moved, his eyes were even slightly red, he wouldn't ask Tang Danqing what wish she had made, but he could be sure that the wish Hu Die had made was related to him.

  Finally saw the tree god of Qinghu County, finally made a wish for himself. After getting up, Tang Danqing felt much lighter, and a sweet smile appeared at the corner of his mouth. The warm light flowing from Danfeng's eyes fell on Liang Fengyang's face.

  "It's great, I made a wish in front of the tree god."

  "The tree god must have seen your sincerity and will make your wish come true," said Liang Fengyang.

  "Feng Yang, Hua Die, you two also make a wish in front of the tree spirit."

  "I'll go first."

  The butterfly didn't kneel down and knock its head three times to the tree god, but just bowed slightly, closed her eyes lightly and made a wish.

  Huā Dié smiled and said: "Fēng Yáng, you wild local young man, come guess what wish I've made."

  "I don't even know who my own mother is, and you dare to pretend to be my mother in front of the Tree Spirit? Don't you fear that the Tree Spirit will make you have your period every day? Let me tell you, the Tree Spirit is my buddy!" Liang Fengyang said with a smile.

  "I'll let you in on a secret, the wish I just made was: Oh tree spirit, oh tree spirit, I hope that one day your crooked neck will straighten up!" Huā Dié laughed until her flower-like branches were shaking.

  Liang Fengyang burst out laughing, he found that the Thai beauty Hu Die was too mischievous, daring to be so playful in front of the tree god of Qinghu County, it's wild enough.

  Tang Danqing couldn't help but laugh and started looking at Huadie with an incredulous gaze, scolding her: "The tree spirit is sacred, you shouldn't be so frivolous."

  "Alright, my little sister, as long as the tree spirit sees your sincerity, that's enough. This tree spirit has been so solemn for many years, and the people who make wishes in front of it are also very solemn. I'm afraid the old tree spirit would get depression. It urgently needs a mischievous wisher like me to tease it. I'll keep the old tree spirit company and play with it, and it will surely bring me good luck."

  Tang Danqing thought that what Huadie said was nonsense, and the old tree spirit was about to cry with anger, but Liang Fengyang felt that Huadie's explanation just now made some sense.

  Tang Dan Qing looked at Liang Feng Yang's face again, and once more saw the determination on this handsome face. She said softly: "Feng Yang, you also make a wish to the tree spirit, I know that in the past you've made many wishes to the tree spirit, whether or not it really works, you have your own thoughts about it, but right now, at this moment, I really want to see you make a wish to the tree spirit."
