Chapter 57: Spiritual Flame
Only Wu Er couldn't laugh in the whole car, not to mention anything else, the smell on Bai Yue's body was true, and every time he smelled this fragrance, his spirit would feel comfortable, but he didn't know what it was like the divine tree he was talking about? What does it have to do with Bai Yue?
was full of doubts, but couldn't find a chance to ask Bai Yue, and Bai Yue obviously heard this, and was silent and silent, which made Wu Er's heart uncomfortable, between him and Bai Yue, it was always one party who wanted to say that the other party passively accepted, and once again fulfilled the unchanging 'truth': those who raise cats, the role positioning is always a cat slave.
Coming to Sucheng again, the unique quaint wind that belongs to its side is still coming straight to the face, as if the bus has not only traveled all the way, but also washed away the lead, and led a carload of people through the world and floating dust. In Wu Er's eyes at this moment, the world of Sucheng, the left eye is gorgeous, and the right eye is black and white, such a sudden illusion makes Wu Er gradually like this place. The white moon in his arms was not as sleepy as before, and when he woke up, he only looked at everything around him, and for the first time in his eyes, he flashed with confusion and confusion.
"Let's go. Bai Yue opened her mouth softly, and took the initiative to jump down from Wu Er's arms to lead the way, Wu Er's face was stunned, surprised that a cat that had been sleeping for a thousand years was actually familiar with this place, could it be that the ancient city still held a thousand-year-old appearance?
Although there are a lot of tourists this time, Mengyun Street in Sucheng is still so lively, and Fengmo Street, another ancient street separated by the old building, is still extremely depressed, following Bai Yue through an alley, seeing the familiar ancient tree at the end of the alley, for some reason, Wu Er's heartbeat suddenly became clear in his ears.
The door of the tavern that secretly fell in love with Peach Blossom Land was open, and this time I looked back, and almost no one approached the alley that had disappeared before, and now I finally came to terms with it, and when you accepted the supernatural existence, you no longer feared the anomaly, but it was because your cognitive realm had become accustomed to it.
Stepping into the small door of the tavern, as usual, Sister Mei was busy behind the counter, cleaning up everything as if it were a treasure, and the tavern was still so clean, with a peaceful and gentle character.
"Sister Mei......" Wu Er stood at the door, a little cramped and uneasy. I didn't think that You Kemei heard his voice but smiled: "I don't know when you will come back here, so I wait for ...... every day"
“…… You know I'll be back?"
You Kemei poured a cup of hot tea and walked out of the counter, her eyes stopped on Bai Yue for a moment, and then motioned for Wu Er to sit down at the table: "I think, Ye Feisong should have told you some things, he didn't say everything, I believe you also have a lot of doubts, today is coming, you can ask each other." ”
The tension of meeting again like this was unprecedented, Wu Er closed his eyes, Bai Yue had already leaned in front of him, the familiar fragrance was refreshing, Wu Er slowed down, and spoke: "You have been waiting for the descendants of the Wu clan to appear?"
"That's right,"
"The Wu Clan has disappeared for many years, and since you have the heart to look for it, why don't you take the initiative to find it, but are willing to choose to wait in silence?"
You Kemei's expression was gentle: "Because this is the last place where the high priest of the Wu clan, Qili Yuntang, left, according to legend, the Qili clan is a clan that walks in the cycle of fate, and the descendants of Yuntang will come back one day." ”
Wu Er listened in a trance, the so-called reincarnation of fate is so consistent with the mark on his vest, "Why is Sister Mei so interested in the Wu Clan?"
Faced with this question, You Kemei was rarely silent for a while, took a sip of the tea in her hand, and smiled lightly: "Like all mothers in the world, for their daughters...... Nian'an was not in good health since he was a child, and the problems brought out of the mother's womb, reading all the medical books and pharmacopoeia, only the fruit of a rare tree species thousands of years ago could be treated, according to records, in ancient times, there was only one tribe that had been born with Ximu, that is, the Wu tribe. ”
These words were recounted calmly, but Wu Er felt a tremor in front of him, it was actually Bai Yue's reaction, it slowly raised its head, and its gaze did not take away from You Kemei's face.
"So although you know that there is a thousand-year-old temple in the Empty Mercy Mountain, but because of the lack of the blood of the Wu clan to open the ancient gate, you are really willing to wait at such a cost?"
You Kemei's eyes were loving, and she breathed a sigh of relief: "Yes, it's really at any cost, I don't even know if I'm waiting like this, and I'm not even here one day...... However, there are some determinations, until I become a mother, I can't realize it at all, for the sake of Nian'an, even if it is an unrealistic dream, I shouldn't let hope fall into a desperate situation. ”
Wu Er's heart was sour, was it also the instinct of a mother to die in the fire in order to save herself? For a long time, he said in a low voice: "Sister Mei knows the five major families, now ...... Also known as the Charm?"
Unexpectedly, You Kemei restrained her thoughts and asked: "In your heart...... What do you think it is?"
Wu Er pondered for a moment, and then his eyes gradually condensed and spoke: "People, people like you and me!"
You Kemei suddenly laughed, and laughed: "In this way, I didn't wait for the mistake at the beginning, nor did I misunderstand you, since you all think that the charm is the same as you and me, then the answer to this question naturally doesn't need me to repeat it again, Ye Feisong also told me that you woke up a white cat from the ancient temple, and after seeing it today, I realized that it looked extraordinary, I believe that there must be some special connection between you and it, you came to me this time, it should not just be to inquire about such a few questions, right?"
“…… When we came out of that ancient temple, Uncle Ye mentioned something, which seemed to be very important...... "Wu Er really didn't know how to express it, the matter of the holy weapon was mentioned by Bai Yue, it stands to reason that Bai Yue can only talk to the clansmen with the blood of the Wu clan, at that time Wu Er was in a coma, Ye Feisong took the initiative to mention the holy weapon, and he could only say to Bai Yue, the first time we met, it was a bit strange to explain such an important thing to a cat, how could he be sure that Bai Yue would be able to understand?"
"We have been guarding the city and are reluctant to leave, in fact, there is another reason, that is, the spirit of the clan is blazing, it should have been guarded by the patriarch himself, but it is a pity that after the patriarch lost his whereabouts a hundred years ago, the power of the spirit tends to be unstable, the five elements of heaven and earth, only wood makes fire, we have to use the ancient Fuxi wood in Sucheng to replace the power of the holy weapon to keep the spirit, the witch high priest Qili Yuntang's witch staff is made of Fuxi wood, in order to wait for the appearance of the descendants of the Wu clan, we really waited too much, many years, and even almost thought that there was no hope. ”
Wu Er looked at the soft light in You Kemei's eyes, although his pupils had just woken up, he didn't see the slightest trace of blue dust on Sister Mei's body, maybe Bai Yue was right, the reason why the five major families have been able to lurk among normal humans without being discovered, for such a long time, they have learned how to live in harmony with ordinary people.
"The Wu clan was coerced by the five major families to spy on the heavenly machine and was punished by heaven, and the thousand-year-old curse was added, so you are not afraid that the descendants of the Wu clan who appeared will not help you at all, but hate you to the core?"
You Kemei looked at him, and there was a rare look of surprise on her face: "I can't imagine that there is still someone who knows about such a long past......?" You are right, the Wu clan was indeed coerced by the five major families to seek the power of eternal life, but the five major families are not cursed on the body, although I know that this is the fault of the five major families, the mistake is wrong, it is difficult to forgive, but the mistake, after all, everyone committed it together, for two thousand years, the clan has been living in the abyss of the bitter sea of people and ghosts, and the full moon day is like a demon, every day of life, the food in the entrance is like chewing wax, except for blood, and then can not distinguish any taste, the desire to drink blood is like a bone gangrene, if you do not force yourself to restrain yourself, you will never be able to return to its original appearance, so the immortal body that you seek has punished the clansmen for thousands of years, the so-called eternal life, more like walking in the never-ending sea of purgatory, with only pain and remorse left in my heart. But the good thing is that ...... Time is also the most effective healing medicine, as long as it can bring the people out of the sea of suffering and return to the ordinary, what hatred can't be let go?"
Wu Er was silent, the old feud between the Wu clan and the five major families was not too obsessed with him, probably Sister Mei's mood was only the most experienced by Bai Yue, who had experienced that year, for a long time, Wu Er no longer hesitated, clenched his fists, and replied to her with a smile: "Okay! I am willing to help you!"
You Kemei leaned back slightly, let out a long sigh of relief, and then blinked, tears were already shining in the corners of her eyes, she just stared at Wu Er, and only gently spit out two words: "Thank you......"
