Chapter 14: The Holy Mountain
The Western world is different from the Eastern world, with canyons and ancient trees, and it is rare to see villages and towns!
Yechen and Fog Butterfly have been walking in the woods for more than half a month, there is no map, and they are very unfamiliar with this place, so he can only rely on the sun to distinguish the direction, all the way to the west!
On a rainy day, he also had to cut down a few trees, and then determine the direction according to the rings on the trunk, which was very primitive and somewhat backward!
During this period, he and the fog butterfly rushed on the road, while fighting fierce beasts, killing mountain monkeys, killing giant pythons, and of course, being chased and killed by other fierce beasts!
In short, I stumbled all the way, but I have survived safely until now!
As the sun sets, wisps of smoke drift high into the sky from afar!
Yechen was surprised, after walking for so many days, I finally saw the crowd!
His pace couldn't help but speed up a little, hoping to catch up with dinner, drink a few mouthfuls of hot porridge, and eat a few hot steamed buns!
These days, in addition to meat and meat, he is a little sick to his stomach!
"Woo ......"
It's so close that you can hear chickens and dogs barking from time to time, and some adults calling for children to come home for dinner!
After a while, a small village appeared in front of Yechen!
The small village is built by the water, full of ancient atmosphere, and it is clear that it has been passed down for a long time. A quaint stone bridge spans www.biquge.info water, connecting the village to the woods.
At the end of the ancient bridge, there is a stone stele, and by the afterglow of the setting sun, Yechen can see the two words on it clearly: Holy Village!
Yechen slowly walked across the stone bridge and came to the head of the village!
The buildings in the village are very old, they are all made of some stone blocks, with a grayish white color, showing the traces of time!
He walked into the village and was met by an old man!
After some conversation, Yechen knew that the old man's name was Yu Hui, and he was the head of the holy village, and he was highly respected in the village and knew a lot!
And the holy village is very old, it has been inherited for nearly 100,000 years, which is very old!
"Village chief, village chief, help!"
When talking to Yu Hui in the night, a woman ran over, pulled Yu Hui and ran towards the village, very anxious, as if something had happened!
Out of curiosity, Yechen followed!
At this time, many villagers had gathered in the open space in the village.
Yechen looked at the field and saw a lot of bows and crossbows and some rope nets, speculating that it should be a martial arts training ground, used for martial arts training or learning to hunt.
In the center of the martial arts training ground, a middle-aged man, with his upper body, lay on the ground. The woman and two children were surrounding him, tears in their eyes and pale faces.
Yechen stepped forward and saw that Yu Hui was taking the pulse of the middle-aged man, his brows were furrowed, and his face was gloomy, obviously this middle-aged man could not be cured!
Sure enough, after a while, Yu Hui put down the middle-aged man's arm and shook his head helplessly!
"Village Chief, will you think of another way?" The woman wept and pleaded!
"Wow......" The two children cried directly!
Yu Hui lamented, he really had no choice!
"Wow, kid daddy...... Woo woo...... "The woman lay directly on the middle-aged man and cried!"
A few of the children cried louder!
"What are you crying about, I've said it, the holy mountain has not been peaceful recently, you want to go!" The man who looked a little like the middle-aged man shouted angrily.
Looking at the age, it should be the elder brother of a middle-aged man, his eyes are red, and he is obviously very sad!
……
……
"Where did he get hurt?" Yechen asked, sensing that there was a special aura in the middle-aged man's body that was destroying his vitality.
The aura was a bit like a curse, but he wasn't sure!
"There's a wound in the waist, I don't know what kind of beast was injured!" Yu Hui said truthfully.
Yechen frowned, thought for a moment, and then squatted down, wanting to untie the man's wound and take a closer look!
"What do you want to do?" The weeping woman opened Yechen's hand and glared at him, preventing him from getting close to the middle-aged man!
"What do you know as a woman, get out of the way and let this little brother see!" Before Yechen could speak, the middle-aged man's brother directly pulled the woman away, please check it out!
Yechen nodded, and slowly untied the wound!
The bright red blood looks normal, but if you look closely, you will find that there are many tiny black dots wriggling inside!
When Yechen lifted the bandage, those black spots seemed to meet a natural enemy, desperately fleeing, and submerged into the middle-aged man's body!
"Sure enough, it's a curse!" The night dawned, and I felt a burst of relief!
As for why he felt this way, even he didn't know!
"Little brother, can you help?" Yu Hui looked at Yechen with a hint of expectation in his eyes.
"I want to give it a try, but I'm not sure if it will succeed!" Yechen said seriously.
His blood was indeed capable of purifying the curse, but he was not sure if it would be effective against living beings!
"Really?" Yu Hui's face was full of red light, and he was very excited!
"Little brother, just try, if it really doesn't work, that's his life!" The middle-aged man's brother said in a deep voice!
"As long as we can save him, we will give you whatever you want!" The woman pleaded that she was young and had children, and that she did not want to be a widow!
Yechen smiled and asked someone to carry the middle-aged man into the house, and then kicked everyone out of the room, he didn't want people to know his secret!
Yechen sat cross-legged next to the middle-aged man, closed his eyes, and carefully probed his situation!
After some investigation, Yechen breathed a sigh of relief, fortunately, the curse was slight, and three drops of blood should be able to completely purify and remove it!
Yechen opened his eyes, slashed his index finger, and dripped blood into the wound of the middle-aged man!
"Whew!"
Like a bronze key to purification, black smoke began to come out of the wound of the middle-aged man, and then black smoke came out of his stomach, and soon, his entire body began to emit black smoke outward!
The black smoke was like ink and exuded an evil aura, but fortunately they only stayed in the air for a short time before disappearing!
Otherwise, this room will be polluted by it and will not be able to live for a long time!
Time passed, until the last wisp of black smoke disappeared, and the middle-aged man slowly woke up!
"Who are you? Where is this? The middle-aged man opened his eyes, sat up, and looked at the night in confusion!
"This is the Holy Village, and I am a passer-by here!" Yechen said with a smile.
"You saved me! Thank you! The middle-aged man got up and wanted to thank Yechen!
Yechen hurriedly stopped and said, "Your injury is not healed yet, you need to retreat!" Can you tell me what you encountered in the Holy Mountain? ”
The middle-aged man thought for a moment and began to tell about his experience in the Holy Mountain!
He was injured by a pear monkey, that pear monkey was different, the whole body was black, and he had a violent temperament, and when he saw someone, he pounced on him, biting and scratching!
He also met a group of people, all of them were young boys and girls, the oldest was only seventeen or eighteen years old, and it was this group of people who saved him from the pear monkey!
The middle-aged man also told Yechen that there was a beautiful girl in the crowd, who was a good match for him, and gave him a chance to ask him to be his daughter-in-law!
Yechen smiled, didn't nod or shake his head, but continued to ask some other things, then got up and walked out!
Seeing Yechen come out, the anxious woman outside the door was the first to rush into the door, and when she saw the man who had woken up, she screamed!
Her scream frightened the others, and for a moment, the people outside the door were like ants on a hot pot, swarming into the room!
"Everyone is fine, what is your name!" The middle-aged man laughed and scolded angrily, he was frightened, thinking that his younger brother would never wake up again!
The woman kept crying, laughing and crying!
Others are laughing and crying!
"Thank you, little brother!" Yu Hui didn't ask Yechen how he treated the middle-aged man, just apologized simply, and turned to leave!
Yechen didn't speak, just looked at Yu Hui's back, and was stunned for a while!
As the sun sets and night falls, darkness envelops the entire village!
Yechen finally got his wish, drank a few bowls of hot porridge, ate a few hot steamed buns, lay happily on the bed, and soon fell asleep!
Since leaving the imperial capital, Yechen hasn't slept much, especially during this time, there are many fierce beasts in the mountains and forests, and he can only meditate and practice every day, and he doesn't dare to sleep at all!
Nowadays, the holy village is peaceful, the villagers are simple, and the tense nerves of Yechen are completely relaxed, and they sleep very sweetly!
"Roar!"
In the middle of the night, a terrifying roar woke up Yechen!
Yechen got up suddenly, feeling chills all over his body, the roar was so terrifying that it made people shudder!
Through the cracks in the wall, he saw an eagle fighting with a giant snake, dark clouds, strong winds, and lightning streaked across the sky from time to time, the scene was chaotic and terrifying!
The eagle is huge, comparable to a hill, and between its wings, the wind is surging, and the lightning is thundering.
The giant snake is ferocious, hunched over, like a pillar of optimus, swaying, venom like rain, eroding the sky and the earth!
An eagle and a snake, ferocious and violent, desperately fighting, from time to time bring a burst of bloody rain, which makes people tremble!
Yechen's scalp was numb, the two fierce beasts were too ferocious, too brutal, and too powerful, if they killed the Holy Village, then the Holy Village would be destroyed in an instant, and the chickens and dogs would not be left.
"Recently, the Holy Mountain has not been peaceful, and there are often fierce beasts fighting in the middle of the night, as if they are looking for or waiting for something!"
Yu Hui came over and told Yechen that not long ago, there was a change in the Holy Mountain, and even the fierce beasts became brutal and kept fighting!
Especially at night, there are some unknown fierce beasts flying over the holy village, covering the sky and the sun, which is very terrifying!
However, it is fortunate that these fierce beasts have not attacked the Holy Village, otherwise the Holy Village would have long ceased to exist!
Yechen was surprised, the Holy Village could exist for 100,000 years, and it really had its unique reason, and at the same time, he was also curious, what was there on this holy mountain that caused these fierce beasts to fight!
"Chirp!" Suddenly, the fog butterfly flapped its wings, looked at the holy mountain in the distance, and kept flapping its wings, indicating that he wanted to go to the holy mountain!
Yechen was stunned, it seems that there is indeed a unique treasure in the mountain, otherwise even the fog butterfly would not have started to play its idea!
You know, along the way, Fog Butterfly didn't have the slightest interest in those strange flowers and plants, and she didn't even look at them!
After thinking about it, Yechen nodded and promised to take the Fog Butterfly to the Holy Mountain, but it would not be until after dawn.
At the same time, he also wanted to know what treasures were hidden in the holy mountain!
