At dawn the next day, the hunting party was ready to go.

It was already dusk when I came down from the mountain yesterday, and this was a basin surrounded by mountains, and the light was dim, and the surrounding situation was not so real.

When I looked at it again this morning, the atmosphere of this place was different from the previous place.

Since entering the territory of the Queen Mother of the West, this is the first time that Lin Shuo has experienced the gentle side of nature.

Under your feet is a green grass, two or three inches thick layer of soil, soft and comfortable.

Not far ahead, in the rift valley, there is a fog steaming up, the fog is not thick, bringing a hazy feeling to the surroundings.

The air smells fresh, and you can hear birds chirping.

As the mist came up, countless scent messages entered Lin Shuo's nose.

Lin Shuo soon knew that the Great Rift Valley in front of everyone contained a forest in it.

This is a typical temperate forest, dominated by evergreen and broad-leaved forests, and the animals that inhabit it are also common.

At first glance, except for a few lynxes that can be called beasts, there are no big ones, and there is no smell of xenomorphs.

In this way, Lin Shuo has some confidence in his heart.

Looking at this, there should be no problem for everyone to descend to the bottom of the rift by abseiling.

And the forest at the bottom of the rift valley could be used as a makeshift camp, and there should even be a water source in it.

In this way, it can be attacked, retreated, and defended, and the hunting team has at least a foothold.

The situation seemed good, but Lin Shuo always felt that there was an indescribable weirdness.

Obviously, He Yongchang also sensed this.

The abseiling was led by Su Dongdong, and the people went down first, and soon the news of the safety below came by shaking the rope, so the others followed in turn.

And He Yongchang stood beside Lin Shuo, with a look of wanting to speak and stopping.

"Say it. Lin Shuo glanced at Lao He, "Don't hide it." ”

"Chief, this is not right. He Yongchang said in a deep voice.

"What's wrong?" Lin Shuo asked knowingly.

"You coaxed the kids all night last night. He Yongchang said.

"No, what's wrong with me coaxing the child?" Lin Shuo rolled his eyes, "Your son He Tianbiao is eight years old this year and doesn't need to be coaxed, the three in my family are still young, and they refuse to sleep at night, and Gordia can't handle it, what if I don't coax?"

"Of course it's okay for you to coax the child. He Yongchang waved his hand and said, "It stands to reason that you shouldn't have had time to coax the child last night." Not only did you have no time to coax the child, but Su Dongdong also didn't have time to listen to it all night, and I, Lao He, didn't have the blessing to be half-asleep in the tent. There's something strange about this. ”

"What's the matter?" Wei Xingshan also came over at this time.

"Based on our previous experience, it is easy to deduce that the vicinity of this rift valley is very lively at night. He Yongchang said, "The xenomorph butterflies, xenomorphic jumping spiders, and those humanoid xenomorphs we encountered before all jumped out of the rift.

So we camped last night, right on the main road where these things come and go, and according to common sense, last night should have been very lively.

In the first half of the night yesterday, the chief leader first pulled me to chat with Su Dongdong, probably just to prevent this.

But as a result, the night was calm, but it was the two sons and a young lady in the chief leader's family who stumped the chief leader.

That's not right. ”

"There's nothing wrong with that. Lin Shuo said, "Because of a very simple truth. ”

"What's the truth?" Wei Xingshan asked.

"When you go in and out, you have to know that the door is closed. Lin Shuo said, "This truth is not understood by beasts, but an existence like Li Tai'an must understand." He went out and went back, maybe he sealed the passage between the underground space and the rift, so the things under the ground couldn't get out. ”

"I see. He Yongchang muttered, "Then who is Li Tai'an?"

"This man, if I'm right, you've probably heard of it. Lin Shuo said, "In Chinese myths and legends, there is the name of this person. ”

"Huh?" Wei Xingshan asked, "Who?"

"The Princes of the East. Lin Shuo said.

"The prince of the east?" Wei Xingshan was taken aback, "Hearing this name, it seems to be the husband of the Queen Mother of the West?"

Lin Shuo said: "In the Chinese mythological system, this person is also called Emperor Donghua, and he is in charge of immortals.

In today's words, this person is the head of the organization department of the immortal world, and if people want to become immortals, they have to be guided by him.

Of course, mythology has its own historical and religious background, and there are many apocryphal elements.

However, from his own words, it can be heard that there is a saying in Taoism that has its roots.

That is, he and the Queen Mother of the West stand side by side in the world, and they are the two gods who nurture the heavens and the earth.

It's hard to say whether it's a husband and wife or not, but it's always right to be together. ”

Speaking of this, Lin Shuo didn't go down, but pointed at Lao Wei: "Hey, everyone has gone down, it's your turn." ”

While the three of them were discussing this, the hunting party was abseiling, and the others had gone down at this time.

Wei Xingshan hurriedly went down the rift valley along the rope, while He Yongchang said: "Chief Leader, then listening to this meaning, it seems that the relationship between the Queen Mother of the West and the Prince of the East is not so harmonious. Otherwise, you see that this prince of the East will not come out and tell us through the bottom. ”

Speaking of this, He Yongchang looked left and right, then put the Flying Yaksha on the side of his head, and said softly: "Chief Leader, do you say that it is possible, our Hunting Sect Patriarch Grandma Yun'er, ...... with this Eastern Prince."

"Stop!" Lin Shuo hurriedly waved his hand and said to He Yongchang earnestly, "Old He, aren't you the kind of person who tells right and wrong, how can you talk nonsense about this kind of chasing after the wind and shadows?"

"What did I say?" He Yongchang shrank his neck and flatly denied, "I didn't say anything!"

"Then what are you doing with the beast fork?" Lin Shuo glanced at Lao He, "Isn't this afraid that Master Zu will blame him, and a thunderbolt will come down?"

"Whew. He Yongchang said, "I mean, since this prince of the East has an old relationship with our Hunting Sect Ancestor, he also said that he ran out without hiding from the one inside, and this context will inevitably make people have some kind of association." ”

"What associations. Lin Shuo asked.

"It doesn't matter what associations are. He Yongchang waved his hand, "The key is that we seem to have a chance here." ”

"What chance?"

"The Queen Mother of the West and the Prince of the East are at odds, isn't this our chance?" He Yongchang asked rhetorically.

"Lao He, if you think so, then you are wrong. Lin Shuo said.

"Please also ask the chief for advice. ”

"It's very simple. Lin Shuo pointed at He Yongchang, "You Lao He is stealing people outside." ”

"What?" He Yongchang was dumbfounded.

"I'll give you an analogy, you Lao He is stealing people outside. Lin Shuo said, "Then one day, Xiao San came to the house and confronted your wife. At this time, who are you helping?"

"I don't know. He Yongchang shook his head, "I can't do that anyway." ”

"Hey, let's say what you did. Lin Shuo said.

"It still depends on the specific situation, and it's hard to say who to help. He Yongchang said, "But normally speaking, as long as a man is still sensible, he must help his wife, because this is his and his wife's home, and other women come to the house, which is out of bounds." ”

"That's right. Lin Shuo said, "Then if it's not Xiao San, but Xiao San's descendants, and this descendant should not be related to you, who will you help?"

"That's nonsense, I must help my wife. Not only do you want to help your wife, but it's best not to let this little rabbit cub into your house. He Yongchang said, "Otherwise, even if this kid is not his own species, his wife will not believe it!"

"So. Lin Shuo pointed to the canyon, "Isn't the door closed?"

He Yongchang was stunned for a while after hearing this, sweated profusely, and said softly: "Chief Leader, what you said just now seems to be a little ......."

"I didn't say anything. Lin Shuo looked up at the sky, "I'm just making an analogy." ”

"Otherwise, you might as well take my beast fork and hold it. ”

"Fuck off, it's time for you to go down. ”

......

Descending along the rope, Lin Shuo was somewhat weak-hearted.

The analogy between him and He Yongchang is actually nonsense.

casually said this, it doesn't matter if the truth is so unimportant, the main thing is to let He Yongchang relax a little and not be so nervous.

As a result, it backfired accidentally, and after finishing speaking, Lao He not only did not relax, but also sweated profusely, and his face turned white with fright.

Not only Lao He's face turned white with fright, but Lin Shuo was also uneasy in his own heart.

At first, he said this as a joke, but when he said it, he thought it was quite reasonable.

If this is really the case, the ancestor of the Yun family is not an ordinary cultivator, he has already embarked on the path to heaven like his mother, and he has a spiritual experience.

I really annoyed her old man, a thunderstorm came down and chopped herself to the outside, and she really deserved it.

So while everyone was going down and there was no one around, Lin Shuo began to mumble to himself while slowly abseiling, and whispered there:

"Master Zu, I'm young and ignorant, don't be like me. ”

"I have no disrespect for you, I was talking nonsense just now. ”

"If you really have a miracle, bless us with a smooth trip. ”

Going down this way, I don't know if Lin Shuo's prayers played a role, or if his abseiling skills were really passable, and the rope was strong enough, in short, even the weight of more than 3,000 catties of things brought by people fell to the bottom safely.

Everyone was waiting for him at the bottom of the valley, and when they saw that others had arrived, they set off directly.

Since the hunting party reached the bottom of the rift valley, it naturally marched in a hunting formation.

He Yongchang and Quinn went forward, Su Dongdong, the hunter in the scout position, had specially ordered Lin Shuo last night not to wander around, but to stay by his side behind the palace, and use her ear power to help the hunting team scout.

At present, it is speculated that the passage between the underground space and this Great Rift Valley has been sealed by Li Tai'an for some unknown reason.

To find this entrance, others can't count on it, and only Su Dongdong has a way.

Because she can listen to the mountains and know the way, this is a unique skill of the Su family hunters.

Looking at the eldest sister-in-law beside him, Lin Shuo is now in a relatively peaceful mood.

What should be said to her has also been made clear, and the two know each other, so the current relationship is relatively natural and frank.

Coupled with last night's experience, it deepened the relationship between the two.

Lin Shuo wanted to coax the child, Su Dongdong hurriedly came out to keep vigil for him, this tacit understanding is only between relatives, and the head of the hunting door is very pleased with this.

There's no need to say thank you, because it's your own family.

"Hey. I only heard Su Dongdong suddenly call himself softly.

"Huh?" Lin Shuo asked.

"According to what you said, our ancestor has been someone else's junior?" asked Su Dongdong.

"I didn't say that!" Lin Shuo hurriedly denied it.

"Even if you are not a junior, you have also been the confidante of the prince of the East, is that what you mean?"

"It could also be a brother or sister or something. Lin Shuo muttered.

"You and Godia's brother and sister?" Su Dongdong said softly, "Brother and sister scream during the day, and sleep together at night?"

"Sister, just spare me. Lin Shuo said with a bitter face, "I don't mean to be disrespectful to Master Zu, what kind of friendship does the ancestor have with someone, this is normal, we can't chew the root of the tongue in this matter." ”

"I'm not chewing the root of my tongue either. Su Dongdong said softly, "It's just that I think that since our ancestor can do this, it seems reasonable for our descendants to follow suit." ”

"No, sister, you must not think so. Lin Shuo hurriedly persuaded, "We human beings are making progress.

At that time, it was a tribal era, and the atmosphere was different.

Everyone often sings nursery rhymes by the river in spring, and then regardless of whether they recognize each other or not, the men and women go directly into the woods.

At that time, there were few moral constraints, and there was little emphasis between men and women.

Now it's different, we are today, not ancients, and we can't live in ancient times. ”

"Are you reasoning with me?" asked Su Dongdong lightly.

"You understand the reason, I just don't dare to offend Master Zu. Lin Shuo said, "If her old man really does that, I have to excuse her." In her time, the concept of marriage between men and women had not yet been formed, and the statement of the junior was even more impossible. We can't demand the ancients with the current level of morality. ”

"Then if I do this, will you also excuse me?" asked Su Dongdong.

At this point, what Su Dongdong meant Lin Shuo had already understood, and he looked straight: "Sister, I won't let you do this." ”

"Why?"

"Because I've wronged you so much. Lin Shuo said.

Su Dongdongqiao's face turned red and stopped talking.
