Chapter Seventy-Eight: Little Clay Man
In front of the bungalow, Ye Xiaogu frowned and looked at the direction Li Wenjie left, vaguely hesitating. These gods and ghosts are bizarre, and it is not strange that Ye Xiaogu is lonely.
Ye Xiaogu was only faintly worried about this Li Wenjie's personality. Although this Li Wenjie looks righteous and awe-inspiring, his appearance can be regarded as handsome, and the things he thinks and thinks are not bad, but the demeanor between Li Wenjie's words seems to be quite obsessive, but it makes Ye Xiaogu a little worried.
"Ye Xiaogu !!"
Ye Xiaogu frowned and looked in the direction Li Wenjie left, before he had time to sort out his thoughts. Unexpectedly, Xu Xiaoman in the bungalow was sober up quickly, Ye Xiaogu and Li Wenjie had only talked for about ten minutes, and Xu Xiaoman came to his senses as soon as Li Wenjie left, opened the door of the bungalow directly, and rushed out.
Ye Xiaogu waved the long sleeves of his gray-blue robe, "Don't make trouble, speaking of which, why did you go back to Maoshan?"
"Huh?" Xu Xiaoman was still holding the copper coin sword in his hand, and was about to come up and wave it a few times, but he still hesitated when he looked at Ye Xiaogu's appearance, "There is no money...... I'm back. ”
After Xu Xiaoman finished speaking, Ye Xiaogu glanced at Xu Xiaoman with a flat face. Xu Xiaoman still looked dazed between his words, and Ye Xiaogu didn't want to ask anything, just looked up at the sky, and didn't say anything for a while.
Xu Xiaoman originally planned to make trouble for a while, but when he saw Ye Xiaogu's appearance, the copper coin sword in his hand was slowly put down, and he looked a little restrained for a while, "What's wrong?"
Ye Xiaogu retracted his gaze and looked at Xu Xiaoman, but he didn't know what to say for a while. After all, this little Daogu didn't seem to know anything, and Ye Xiaogu didn't want to pull this little confused into this big mystery so plainly.
"I want to go back to Nanshi in a few days. Ye Xiaogu thought about it and said solemnly.
The corners of Xu Xiaoman's mouth raised slightly, revealing an ambiguous smile, "You really can't help it, this green mountain and little water, don't you miss the fox spirit at home very much?"
Ye Xiaogu took a few steps closer to Xu Xiaoman, stretched out his hand and patted Xu Xiaoman's forehead, "Does your neck hurt? If it doesn't hurt, I'll give you another ......."
When Xu Xiaoman heard this, he took a step back, pushed Ye Xiaogu's hand away, and frowned, "You dare!"
The corners of Ye Xiaogu's mouth raised slightly, somewhat disapproving.
It was almost night in the mountains and forests, and although Xu Xiaoman had made a few gaffes when he saw his second senior brother at the beginning, he was a little confused after all. In addition, Ye Xiaogu talked back and forth several times, and forgot about his cheap second senior brother for a while.
"Tonight, do we want to go back?" Between the mountain roads, Ye Xiaogu looked at Xu Xiaoman's shallow foot in front of him, and he was still a little worried.
Xu Xiaoman dragged a small fireball in his hand, barely able to see the road on the ground, as for the stones, the puddle was a little reluctant, "What else do you want? You are so powerful, your wings are stiff, why don't you come to the front to guide the way...... Don't think that my master has a good temper, his house won't let outsiders in, and it's impossible for us to stay for one night. ”
When Ye Xiaogu heard this, he thought of Li Wenjie for some reason, "You can see through the inside of that bungalow at a glance, what is there that makes your master so concerned?"
Xu Xiaoman's feet were crooked, and he almost rolled out, and turned around angrily for a while, looking at Ye Xiaogu, "Ask!! I asked you to go and see it just now, but you didn't look at it." ”
Ye Xiaogu thought about Li Wenjie's matter, and didn't react for a while, at this moment Xu Xiaoman suddenly turned around, and Ye Xiaogu bumped into it without paying attention. The fireball that Xu Xiaoman was dragging in his hand flashed, and it was directly extinguished when he got out of his hand, and it was pitch black for a while.
Ye Xiaogu didn't notice it for a while, but in the end, he reacted quickly, pressed Xu Xiaoman, reached out to hug Xu Xiaoman, and held her in his arms between his staggered bodies, and his steps were wrong, but he didn't fall down.
"What are you doing?!" Xu Xiaoman didn't react for a while, waited for a while, and felt the heartbeat in Ye Xiaogu's chest before shouting loudly.
"You stand firm first......" Ye Xiaogu frowned, it was dark all around, and for a while, Ye Xiaogu didn't have much to say.
Xu Xiaoman stabilized his body, barely stood firm, "Stand firm......"
"Hmm......" Ye Xiaogu slowly let go of Xu Xiaoman, "My waist is really good." ”
In front of him, Xu Xiaoman took out a yellow talisman from his sleeve, waved it casually and drew out a small fireball, looked at Ye Xiaogu, frowned and said, "Do you think I'm young and beautiful, and want to take advantage of the dark wind this night!"
The corners of Ye Xiaogu's mouth raised slightly, Xu Xiaoman dragged the fireball in front of Ye Xiaogu, squinted his eyes for a while, and said casually: "Don't do it...... Let's go back to the disciple's room first, this wilderness is really difficult for you and me to drag on until the second half of the night. ”
"Hmph!" Xu Xiaoman turned around with the small fireball and said, "I'm not afraid to tell you that I like my second senior brother the most, you can see it too." My second senior brother is handsome and chic......"
"Good-looking, handsome and dashing don't like you. Ye Xiaogu said casually, and was about to take a step under his feet, but he didn't expect Xu Xiaoman to stop abruptly holding the small fireball.
Ye Xiaogu didn't notice it for a while, and suddenly pressed Xu Xiaoman to the ground, and the small fireball was suddenly extinguished, thanks to Ye Xiaogu's quick reaction, he directly protected Xu Xiaoman in his arms, but this mountain road is really a bit steep, if it was okay during the day, now in the dark night, Ye Xiaogu didn't know where to borrow, and directly rolled down the mountain road with Xu Xiaoman.
Between the seven meat and eight vegetables, Ye Xiaogu couldn't even distinguish between the north, the south, the west and the east, but he felt that his head was faintly dizzy, and there was a faint pain between his back, legs and feet.
Ye Xiaogu hugged Xu Xiaoman and said weakly, "Why did you stop this time?"
"My second senior brother likes me, I feel it!" Although Ye Xiaogu has a weak appearance at the moment, I don't know if it is because Ye Xiaogu is protecting Xu Xiaoman, or because Xu Xiaoman is originally in exquisite shape, and now he is talking, but he is full of spirit and more than enough energy.
"Don't do it, you can see if I have a lot of color on me first, and we will have time to discuss your unlucky second senior brother......" Ye Xiaogu let go of Xu Xiaoman between words, and touched his forehead casually, vaguely feeling that he was really seeing blood.
Xu Xiaoman slowed down, and originally wanted to say a few more words, but he also seemed to feel that this place was not very suitable, so he pulled it into his sleeve casually, and his face was a little embarrassed for a while, "My talisman is gone......"
Ye Xiaogu sighed slightly in his heart, and said weakly: "Isn't this Maoshan? You can't be without yellow paper cinnabar here, you little girl......"
"Don't say it...... Xu Xiaoman's face was slightly red, his hands were sealed, and there was a faint wind in his hands.
"It's not that you question your professional ability, high-risk occupations, and insurance is not guaranteed, you are still a little girl who prepares something like that......" Ye Xiaogu eased up between his words, thinking that this physique is still extraordinary, but his back hurts, and he didn't get up for a while.
"It's done!" Before Ye Xiaogu finished speaking, Xu Xiaoman finally condensed a small ball of pure white light, which was not big, but half the size of a fist, and the light was a little scattered, but it only illuminated a place of about a meter around here.
But it's much better than that fireball, under this ball of light, Xu Xiaoman looked at Ye Xiaogu and frowned for a while, and hesitated: "Are you okay?"
Xu Xiaoman held the ball of light, Ye Xiaogu squinted his eyes for a while, and said: "I'm still panting, I can't die for the time being, please see if I hit the stones on my back and legs......"
Ye Xiaogu ...... Your leg ......" Xu Xiaoman frowned between his words, but still said, "It seems to be broken......"
When Ye Xiaogu heard this, he raised his eyebrows slightly, but he felt that his neck seemed to be unable to move and he didn't know what the situation was now, so there was nothing he could do for a while, "Then wait a while, if you really ask you to help, you can tear me in two, I really don't know if I can spell it together." ”
Xu Xiaoman's face was slightly pale, and he still said with some hesitation: "Why don't I go find someone......
Before the ball of light, Ye Xiaogu tilted his neck against a pine tree, and his back was still not clear, but the right leg was indeed folded, and even the well-informed Xu Xiaoman felt a little flustered for a while.
"Was Li Wenjie so handsome when he was a child?" Xu Xiaoman's face was somewhat pale, and he was still hesitating whether he should leave Ye Xiaogu to find someone, but he was a little worried about this wilderness, if Ye Xiaogu didn't take care of him, he would die like this, and it would be really difficult to do it at that time. Unexpectedly, Ye Xiaogu talked about Li Wenjie when he opened his mouth.
"Of course, from handsome to big. Xu Xiaoman said that Li Wenjie seemed to have eased up a little, and his words were a lot calmer. A smile flashed in Ye Xiaogu's eyes, "This little Dao Gu is ......."
Although Ye Xiaogu didn't know his situation at the moment, he seemed to be able to breathe vaguely, plus he had always had an outstanding physique and a super recovery ability, so he couldn't say that he was worried now. It's just that looking at Xu Xiaoman's small face, the worry that can't be concealed can't help but divert from this topic, this Xu Xiaoman seems to have really been diverted from attention, and he is also honest.
“…… You and Li Wenjie are childhood sweethearts?" Ye Xiaogu tried to move his legs and feet, but he couldn't move at all, so he had to continue chatting at the moment.
Xu Xiaoman showed an inexplicable look on his face, looked at Ye Xiaogu, and still said, "Sort of, it's just that I don't often see senior brother." ”
Ye Xiaogu eased the depression in his chest and tried to move his neck, "Speaking of which, why did Li Wenjie go down the mountain? This Maoshan is not a big faction in the first place, one by one is so scattered, leaving a little girl to be in charge, it is also a loss to your senior brother, the master has a big heart." ”
"It is incumbent on me to uphold justice and eliminate demons and defend the Dao, my senior brother has the world in his heart, what's wrong?" Ye Xiaogu teased casually, but Xu Xiaoman didn't want to let it go at all.
When Ye Xiaogu heard this, he didn't respond for a while, he just frowned, tilted his neck, and then felt a clear sound between his necks, and then his eyes went dark, and he almost didn't slow down, "Your cheap senior brother really has the world in mind...... The dedication is too strong, and I can't get along in this Maoshan in the future, so it's quite appropriate to find a salesperson to do. ”
Xu Xiaoman frowned and was about to speak, but Ye Xiaogu tilted his head, looked at his feet, and when he reached out, he folded the foot directly, snorted in a muffled voice, and only listened to the staggered movement of the joints on his legs.
This sound was clear in this silent night, Xu Xiaoman's face sank, and he was about to say something, but Ye Xiaogu opened his mouth and asked, "What is this thing in your hand?"
When Xu Xiaoman heard this, he raised the ball of light in his hand, "I don't know...... It can be regarded as a kind of illumination method. ”
"Awesome, everyone else only uses fireballs and torches, and you've jumped to the age of electric lights all of a sudden. Ye Xiaogu supported his hands on the ground between his words and reluctantly got up.
Seeing this, Xu Xiaoman hurriedly stepped forward to help Ye Xiaogu, but forgot to talk back for a while.
"Little things...... Little things ......" Ye Xiaogu still wanted to take two steps between words, but before he could take a step, he saw that his legs were full of blood, which made Ye Xiaogu also change color slightly for a while, "it...... This Nima ......"
"Are you okay?" Ye Xiaogu's face changed, and Xu Xiaoman beside him held Ye Xiaogu with one hand, and naturally he could see it clearly.
Ye Xiaogu looked at Xu Xiaoman, and wanted to say something, but the words were still a little flat, "Stand for a while...... Let's talk about your cheap brother, I think he has a lot of temperament, and he seems to be a little imposing. ”
Xu Xiaoman looked at Ye Xiaogu, hesitated for a moment, and then followed Ye Xiaogu's topic, and said, "Sort of, after all, I am the third master of Maoshan Mountain." ”
"Then you are the fourth?" Ye Xiaogu seemed to think of something, the corners of his mouth raised slightly, but he couldn't help but make fun of this little Dao Gu.
Xu Xiaoman frowned slightly, looking at Ye Xiaogu's ruffian face, he suddenly wanted to let go, but after a pause in his heart, he still said: "Don't look down on me, I'm very powerful." ”
When Ye Xiaogu heard this, the smile on his face became even more obvious, and he was about to say something, when his face suddenly changed, he looked into the distance, and suddenly said, "Someone is coming." ”
Xu Xiaoman's face was stunned, and he looked at Ye Xiaogu's gaze, it was still pitch black, and he didn't see any movement, nor did he hear any sound, but he frowned at the moment, and asked in a low voice, "Where?"
It's just that Ye Xiaogu didn't respond at this moment, but casually slapped away the small ball of light in Xu Xiaoman's hand, stretched out his hand to cover Xu Xiaoman's mouth, and there was silence for a while in the dark.
"............" In the dark, Xu Xiaoman opened his eyes and reached out to pick Ye Xiaogu's hand, but Ye Xiaogu seemed to be extremely resolute, and Xu Xiaoman was just silent for a while.
I don't know how long it took, Xu Xiaoman was a little drowsy, and Ye Xiaogu slowly let go of his hand, "Let's go back to the disciple's room first." ”
Xu Xiaoman was about to take a step in a daze, and then as if he had thought of something, he asked, "What happened just now?"
Ye Xiaogu's face was solemn, and he said: "I don't know, I vaguely feel that something is looking at us, but then it fades ......"
Xu Xiaoman frowned slightly, "You're not joking, Maoshan can't even see a little monster, where can there be such a mysterious thing? You don't want to take advantage of me, right?"
Xu Xiaoman was about to seal the seal with his hand to condense the light ball used for illumination at the beginning, but he didn't expect Ye Xiaogu to suddenly hug Xu Xiaoman.
“…………” Xu Xiaoman's hand moved slowly, but he was silent for a while. In the dark, after three or five minutes, Ye Xiaogu suddenly jumped up, and then hugged the pine branch, holding Xu Xiaoman in one hand, and barely brought her to the branch.
This pine branch is not high, and it is a bit redundant to say that it is far away. It's just that Ye Xiaogu took Xu Xiaoman to sit on the pine branch, and breathed a sigh of relief for a while, "It should be fine." ”
Ye Xiaogu let go of his hand, Xu Xiaoman also reacted, and asked, "Are your legs okay?"
In the dark, Ye Xiaogu just stretched out his hand to protect Xu Xiaoman, but said in a low voice: "...... Here it comes. ”
"Huh?" Xu Xiaoman answered, and before he could ask more, countless black villains suddenly came densely on the mountain road in the distance. Although there was nothing to see in the night, the countless black villains walking in the distance were more pure than the night, and even deeper than the night.
Ye Xiaogusheng naturally saw clearly with his yin and yang eyes, but those black villains were as bright as points of light at the moment, although they couldn't distinguish the contours of their faces, but their hands, feet, shoulders and backs were similar, but they were only thirty or fifty centimeters in size, but vaguely they seemed to be made of black silt.
“…… Soul. Ye Xiaogu was looking at the little clay figure walking over in the distance, and Xu Xiaoman beside him also whispered.
Ye Xiaogu frowned, although he vaguely knew that these things should be souls, but he didn't expect these things to be souls, "What kind of souls?"
"The soul of man...... The mud returns to the earth, the souls of ordinary people in the world are filthy, people have three souls and seven souls, among the three souls of heaven and earth, the two main souls of heaven and earth return to heaven and earth, and the soul of life enters reincarnation...... These little clay figurines are the souls of people. It's just that the three souls and seven spirits should be one, why did they be stripped apart?" Xu Xiaoman's body moved slightly between his words, as if he was going down to see the situation.
Ye Xiaogu was more or less attentive, protecting Xu Xiaoman with one hand, while looking at the pitch-black clay figure gradually approaching in the distance, "You learned well, Maoshan taught you?"
Although Ye Xiaogu simply stretched out his hand to stop Xu Xiaoman, Xu Xiaoman also somewhat pressed his heart, looked at the little clay figure in the distance, and frowned, "Self-taught." ”
"Awesome...... Are you interested in learning to cook with me?" Ye Xiaogu smiled especially between his words, but in exchange for Xu Xiaoman's eyes, "Don't stop me, I'll go down and take a look." ”
"Don't be, Aunt Xiaodao, if you go down, how can I live as a half-cripple hanging on this tree?" Although Ye Xiaogu teased, his face was much darker, and the pitch-black clay figures in the distance had gradually approached, and there were hundreds of them, densely packed as if ants were moving.
Ye Xiaogu is not familiar with these pitch-black little clay figures, but he faintly feels that these little black clay figures should not be as weak and deceitful as they look.
"Speaking of which, do these little clay figurines have any means?" Ye Xiaogu frowned and asked.
"Where does the soul come from? Xu Xiaoman didn't look down on these pitch-black clay figures, and he looked disdainful between his words.
Ye Xiaogu raised his eyebrows, but he didn't respond for a while.
Although these pitch-black little clay figures were slow but also happy, crooked, after all, they still walked over from the mountain road, during which there were naturally little clay figures who glanced at Ye Xiaogu, but they seemed to be persistent forward, but they didn't care about Ye Xiaogu a lot.
When all the dark clay figures were gone, Ye Xiaogu waited for a while before coming down from the pine tree, and the blood between his legs and feet stopped.
"It seems that your Maoshan is really beautiful, the birds are singing and the flowers are fragrant, and it is a tour group at every turn, half-price tour...... In the middle of the night, there were people who came up to the mountain to visit. Ye Xiaogu pressed his knee between words, and it was much easier for a while.
Only Xu Xiaoman was left frowning and looking at the direction in which the pitch-black clay figure in the distance left, and he didn't know what to think for a while.
About three or five minutes later, Xu Xiaoman finally stepped forward, but he was not yet sure, but one hand was pulling Xu Xiaoman's bag head, and he directly ripped the hair rope between his hands.
"What are you doing?!" Xu Xiaoman frowned, but before he turned around, he opened his mouth to complain.
"I think something is wrong...... Ye Xiaogu gritted his teeth again and reluctantly took a step, but then there was a burst of pain that was unspeakable.
Xu Xiaoman frowned, condensed a ball of fireball, tried to find the hair rope on the ground, and said: "It's definitely not right, the souls of these people should have entered reincarnation, otherwise the three souls would not have been separated, and only this group of life souls was still hanging around in the mountains behind my Maoshan Mountain......"
Between the words, Xu Xiaoman suddenly raised his head and glanced at Ye Xiaogu, "This is my Maoshan Heavy Land!
Ye Xiaogu raised his eyebrows, but secretly thought in his heart, "Oh, I finally reacted, fortunately, my leg injury has also healed for three or four points." ”
Before his thoughts were endless, Xu Xiaoman was about to get up, but Ye Xiaogu pulled Xu Xiaoman's hair but didn't speak for a while.
"Don't stop me!" Xu Xiaoman whispered, vaguely imposing.
Ye Xiaogu casually tied the hair rope that he had just pulled down to Xu Xiaoman, and said lightly: "Don't worry, it's even more urgent for the eldest daughter to get married." ”
When Xu Xiaoman heard this, he snorted in a low voice, but walked forward directly, and for a while his hair was scattered, which made Ye Xiaogu raise his eyebrows.
