Chapter 32: Sell Your Birds?

The cave was filled with a disgusting rancid stench, and people couldn't help but want to escape at the slightest smell. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE怂 infoThere was a pile of charcoal ash over the ground, and there was not a trace of heat. A few craggy white bones were scattered next to the charcoal ash, and there was not a single scrap of meat left.

Next to the charcoal gray, a naked old woman leaned against the rock wall, the loose old skin on her chest was clinging to the craggy skinny bones, her face was wrinkled and pale, and her chapped lips were stained with a half-dried grass root, only a pair of eyes looked directly at the entrance of the cave, and there was a hint of expectation in her empty eyes. She was motionless, breathless, and apparently dead for a long time.

A skinny little boy was lying on his side beside the old woman, his head resting on the old woman's thin legs, his face was pale, and a pair of large bulging eyes stared directly at the entrance of the cave, but there was no trace of brilliance.

The child was five or six years old, naked, skinny, and holding a beast skull in his hand that could not be distinguished. Green-headed flies lay on the skulls of beasts, and maggots burrowed in and out of the seven orifices. The entire skull was white and terrifying, emitting a foul stench.

This old and young, who had died of illness and starvation, but who were not blind to death, showed their thirst for food and their desire for life.

When Nie Tong, Ye Wuregret, and Mu Shuiling saw the tragic situation in the cave, they were all dumbfounded, and their hearts were mixed, and it was difficult to calm down.

"Old woman! My poor grandson! ā€

The "strange old man" rushed over with a cry, shaking the breathless old woman vigorously.

"Old woman, wake up, why do you have the heart to leave first?"

The "strange old man" then hugged the little boy again, kissed the bloodless cheek, and then hugged him in his arms in distress, shaking it gently as if he usually coaxed the child to sleep.

"Good grandson, why are you asleep? Good grandson, wake up and see what grandpa brought you back? ā€

"Look, it's snow-white steamed buns, and fragrant jerky. Good boy, wake up quickly and taste the delicious food of this world......"

The "strange old man" whispered as he put steamed buns and dried meat into the child's mouth. The old tears fell on the children's cheeks, wetting the hearts of the three children watching from the entrance of the cave.

The green-headed flies had already buzzed, and Senbai's skull rolled to the ground. The little boy didn't react, like a doll that could be manipulated at will, and it was still the same if you could talk to it as much as you wanted.

"Ahh

The "strange old man" suddenly shouted in grief, abandoned his grandson, and slammed headlong into the hard rock wall.

"Bang!"

With the sound of a shattered skull, blood splattered, leaving a bright red on the rock wall! The "strange old man" collapsed to the ground and returned to the west with his life.

"Don't!"

Nie Tong and the other three shouted in unison. However, it happened so suddenly, and even the Mushui Spirit Wood Fairy didn't have time to rescue, and the "strange old man" crashed into the rock wall. None of them expected such a thing to happen.

Nie Tong boldly stepped forward to check, and found that the "strange old man" had burst out of his brain, and he had died of anger, and there was no way to save him! The bloody scene made him frightened, and at the same time, there was also a sense of grief and anger in his heart. He really wanted to shout, why? When I looked up, I saw a few big characters written on the rock wall.

"The Dog Emperor, the head of the thief, must not die well!"

Several large characters were as red as blood, and although the handwriting was dry, it still exuded a slight smell of blood. The words were apparently written in blood. The handwriting was sloppy, the strokes were crooked, but the curse of resentment came out of the wall.

Feeling the hatred conveyed by a few big characters, Nie Tong couldn't help but be stunned. It seems that he was infected by the handwriting, and a wave of anger swelled up in his heart.

Ye Wuregret and Mu Shuiling saw Nie Tong staring at the rock wall in a daze, and also looked towards the rock wall. Seeing a few big words on the rock wall, the two also fell silent.

Among the three, only Mu Shuiling knew very little about worldly warfare, so she took the lead in shouting: "Let's go out, the smell here is too bad!" If you stay for a long time, it's not good for your skin! She covered her nose, turned and ran out. After listening to Mu Shuiling's words, Ye Wuregret came back to his senses, stepped forward to grab Nie Tong's hand, and dragged him out.

Breathing in the fresh air outside the cave, the three of them still didn't speak, each thinking about their own thoughts.

Mu Shuiling didn't know much about war, but after listening to the "strange old man" roaring about war and seeing the handwriting on the rock wall, she also felt something. What exactly is war like? Why does it hurt so much? Could it be that a war was waged between the "Dog Emperor" and the "Thief Leader"? She thought to herself, but she couldn't get an answer.

Ye Wuregret can't let go of the pain brought to her by the war. She also hated war very much! If it weren't for the war, she wouldn't have been separated and homeless! Looking at the blood words on the rock wall, she also cursed in her heart the culprit who started the war.

Nie Tong also had a deep impression of the war, but he felt powerless, and his heart was full of helplessness. What can a child like him do? Seeing the tragic situation of the "strange old man" family, he suddenly felt that even if his grandfather was not around, as long as his grandfather was still alive, it was worth celebrating! He felt lucky, and his heart was filled with an inexplicable sense of happiness.

"Excuse me, whose bird is that gray mandarin duck?"

It was Mu Shuiling who broke the silence. The purpose of her trip is to help the colorful mandarin ducks find a partner, and now that they have been successfully found, what she has to do next is to think of bringing the two mandarin ducks back to the sect.

She knows that her colorful mandarin duck is a divine bird with great potential, and her future achievements are limitless. Then, as its lover, the gray mandarin duck should not be much worse.

She could see that the gray mandarin duck was always hovering beside the two peers in front of her, indicating that the mandarin duck should also be the spiritual pet of one of them. So, she asked.

"It's mine. The fairy asks what this is for? Nie Tong's mood calmed down, and his speech became much smoother.

"Excuse me, your birds, are you selling?"

Mu Shuiling also felt that it should be Nie Tong's. Being able to withstand her slap without major problems shows that he is not mortal either. Mu Shuiling carefully observed these two people and found that Ye Wuregret was just a mortal child dressed as a man, but no matter how she looked at Nie Tong, she couldn't see through Nie Tong's realm. Nie Tong's body seemed to be shrouded in a layer of light mist, making it difficult to see the situation in his body. Although Nie Tong gave people the impression that she was an ordinary child, her intuition told her that Nie Tong was definitely a monk, and there must be a powerful master behind her.

"Not for sale!" Nie Tong replied decisively. He thought to himself, it's rare to have such a bird that is so close to me, it's good, why should I sell it?

"You can open the price casually, and you can also ask for spirit stones. You say, what do you want? As long as you're willing to sell me that bird. Mu Shuiling said tentatively. She knew that if Nie Tong was really a monk, it would be impossible for her to give up her spiritual pet easily, but she didn't want the colorful mandarin duck to be separated from her lover again, so she had to find a way to get the gray mandarin duck no matter what.

"Snacks? Are you fooling the little ones? I want to trade my brother's birds for a little treat, what do you want? Ye Wuregret didn't know what the spirit stone in the monk's mouth was, so he mistook the spirit stone for a "snack".

"That bird is my relative, I ...... Won't sell. "Nie Tong has never seen a spirit stone, but even if he knows the effect of the spirit stone on the monk, he will not sell the gray mandarin duck.

"Snacks? Giggles, you brother and sister are mistaken, I'm talking about this spirit stone. Mu Shui Ling saw that Ye Wuregret interjected, and knew that they had made a mistake, so he took out a spirit stone and let them see it.

"What is this?" Nie Tong felt the aura in the spirit stone, so he asked curiously.

"How do you know I'm my sister?" Ye Wuregret asked questions almost at the same time as Nie Tong. She felt that she was obviously dressed as a boy, and the other party shouldn't see it.

"This is the spirit stone? You haven't used it? How so? "Is he really not a monk? How is this possible? Mu Shuiling saw Nie Tong asking, and felt very incredible. Seeing that Nie Tong's face was sincere, not like she was lying, she explained: "This is the spirit stone, the 'spirit' of the aura, and the 'stone' of the stone." That's good stuff, you know. What do you think? Is it for sale? What do you say? Mu Shuiling ignored Ye Wuregret, and just stared at Nie Tong, his heart full of anticipation.

Ye Wuregret saw that Mu Shuiling ignored him, so he was a little anxious, "What about you, tell me quickly, how do you know that I am a woman?" ā€

"Giggles, it's useless for me to dress up no matter how much you dress. Giggles, don't believe me, you ask him. Mu Shuiling smiled, but did not directly answer Ye Wuregret's question.

"Why?" Ye Wuregret was said to be uncomfortable, touched here, dragged there, asked Mu Shuiling, and looked at Nie Tong again.

"I ...... I ......" Nie Tong was embarrassed, but he couldn't explain it. He can't say that he has divine sense, he can see through everything.

"Well, don't embarrass him. Actually, I guessed too. Look at your fine skin and tender flesh, and you look so white, it's strange that you don't have a woman! Mu Shuiling knew that Nie Tong couldn't speak, so he hurriedly relieved him. She didn't want to dwell on this issue, so she quickly changed the topic, and continued to ask Nie Tong: "That bird, do you sell it or not?" ā€

"Not for sale! Whatever you take, I won't sell it! Nie Tong refused, his tone was resolute, and there was no room for maneuver. After speaking, he pulled Ye Wuregret and walked forward.

Mu Shuiling had no choice, and he couldn't bear to separate the two mandarin ducks, so he had to follow the two of them. It didn't take long for them to get to know each other. Nie Tong and Ye Wuregret knew that Mu Shuiling was a Flying Immortal Sect from the Western Yushan Mountain Range, and this time they were looking for the Gray Mandarin Duck. And Mu Shuiling also knew the names of the two and the relationship between the two was not brother and sister.

On the way, Mu Shuiling secretly communicated with her colorful mandarin duck, wanting the colorful mandarin duck to abduct the gray mandarin duck and take it away. However, although the gray mandarin duck is very close to the colorful mandarin duck, he just doesn't leave with the colorful mandarin duck. Nie Tong is not for sale, and the colorful mandarin duck refuses to leave alone. This is difficult to ask yourself, the smart and clever wood water spirit.
