Chapter Ninety-One: Mountaintop Encounter

I got up and walked down the path. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE。 info

The path is very narrow, but the bushes and thorns on both sides are cut clean, and the road winds and turns along the mountain, winding upward, and it is not as steep as the one that Liu Qingyan and I climbed before.

Isn't this the path cut by Liu Zongyuan's servants? I thought to myself, but I couldn't help but look back at the back. I always feel as if someone is following me, but when I look back, there is nothing.

Walking on the mountain road at night, listening to the sound of your own footsteps, it is easy to have such a feeling, not to mention that the road is unknown, and the road to the underworld is unknown.

I broke out in a cold sweat, desperately trying to correct myself and think about the gloom in my heart, so as to drive away the fear in my heart.

After a few turns, I actually kicked the top "easily".

Seeing that the sky suddenly opened up in front of him, at this time, a scarlet full moon as red as blood appeared from the cracks in the sky, sprinkling the blood color on the empty ground inch by inch, those rocks, soil, reflecting different shades of dark red light and shadow, and suddenly the entire mountain top was shrouded in a blood-colored halo. Looking at the scene in front of me, I can't tell the weirdness and strangeness in my heart, and I will never forget the scene in front of me in this life.

Suddenly, the feeling of someone behind me hit me again. I turned sharply, and I saw a gray, reddish figure, standing on its wits not far away. The body was round, but the head could not be seen because it was always hunched back.

"Who are you?" I mustered all my strength and shouted at him.

The shadow did not reply, but made a strange movement—it shook its body, suddenly crawled to the ground, and then crawled forward quickly, and disappeared into the grass in an instant.

I was startled, almost instinctively, and hurried after him. I saw a gap in the grass and quickly scurry down the ridge into the distance. Who is going to crawl and walk so fast? I didn't have time to think, and I didn't dare to pause and keep up.

After chasing for a while, the mountain became empty and calm again, and the shadow suddenly stopped. I also hurriedly braked and stopped more than ten meters away from him.

The thing suddenly stood up again, still hunched on its back, but gradually turned around.

For a moment, I held my breath and stared at the face that was slowly turning. I was stunned, what kind of face was that?

The face had small round eyes with pointed beaks, short white ears, and black and white hairy stripes, and turned around to find that the abdomen was covered with black hair. This is...... Badger? A small mammal. I've seen it in Animal World. Legend has it that this animal is cunning and wise, and one of its branches is called the dog badger, also known as the tengu, and somehow it appears here?

I chased for a long time and thought it was a person, but it turned out to be an animal, but it seemed to lead me here on purpose, why?

As I stared at the badger, I stole a look around, and in the distance, it seemed as if a figure had fallen to the ground. I can't help but look at it, but don't look at any wild boars and wild dogs as adults. As the mind moved, the previous badger was short and disappeared into the grass.

I panicked and wanted to chase it, but it was too late, and there was no longer the trace of the badger wandering in the grass, thinking that it was deliberately leading me over to leave a sign, and now that the task is completed, I will retire after success.

I couldn't help but sigh for a while when I figured this out, and I didn't bother to chase it anymore, thinking that what really mattered was the shadow that fell to the ground. I tiptoed over, and under the scarlet moonlight, I finally saw that there was indeed a person lying on his side on the ground, dressed in a cyan robe, with a hooded head, a square face, thick eyebrows and long eyes, and it was actually a middle-aged man in his thirties, with a somewhat heroic face.

"You are? ......" I asked, hesitantly.

The man's eyes were slightly closed, and he put his head on his hands, as if he was asleep.

"It's ...... Liu Zongyuan? "I thought about it, and it was most likely him. Liu Qingyan's father-in-law and mother-in-law once met an ancient person on the top of the mountain, and they must be the one in front of them. And the people who can "lie down and dream" here, except for Liu Liuzhou (another name for Liu Zongyuan by later generations), are definitely not Su Shi and Li Bai.

"Little girl's room Ono, I've seen Lord Sima." I pretended to make a gesture, and then secretly observed the man's movements, but the other person did not react, and did not snort.

Was it the wrong way I said hello? Or is he really asleep? I was a little unsure, I just felt that the person in front of me was not moving, and I couldn't even see the ups and downs of breathing. Isn't it a dead one? I thought to myself, I don't think it's a little infiltrating.

"What do the world seek?" Suddenly, a man's deep voice sounded in my ears out of thin air, like someone whispering to my cheek. Startled, I took a few steps back, stood still and looked around, but I didn't see any other figures.

"The world asks for peace and prosperity, abundant food and clothing, why do they burn it?" The voice rose again.

This time I was much calmer, and I was firmly focused on the man on the ground, although he was still silent, but such a question must have been raised by the person on the ground.

I took a small breath, and then replied: "People in the world pursue peace and prosperity, but they also want to live a real life, and feel the joys and sorrows of the seven emotions and six desires. Xanadu is beautiful, but it never gives a real life, and stealing life in such false prosperity is actually just a walking corpse. ”

For a long time, no one's voice sounded again, and the sky suddenly exploded thunder, and the downpour poured down, and the dark clouds quickly obscured the full moon like blood, and the West Mountain, like being covered with a black blanket, quickly swallowed every inch of land, rocks and trees. In the blink of an eye, the top of the mountain was pitch black.

However, at the moment of light and darkness, I saw the sleeping body on the ground, melting inch by inch, as if it was not rain but sulfuric acid falling from the sky, quickly evaporating his flesh and even bones.

"Liu Zongyuan!" I couldn't help but shout for birth and ran past, and the ground was empty.

It was all so fast that I didn't have time to think about what it meant, what did it mean to disappear? Destruction? If Liu Zongyuan's soul is extinguished, what will be the consequences?

The rain soon soaked me all over my body, and I lost my soul.

"Did I answer the wrong question? What am I going to do? What's next? Where are Liu Qingyan and Youyou? How do I get back to reality? ”

In a moment's confusion, suddenly two silver-gray shadows flickered in the darkness, and it was two badgers that came out of the wild grass. My eyes widened to look at it, not knowing what this thing was going to do.

The two chubby shadows suddenly stood up like people, and at the same time lifted a long object up to the leader, and then actually ran up with the object one after the other.

"Stop!" I shouted to chase after them, but they were so quick that they disappeared into the grass in an instant. However, the moment I chased after it, I could still see that they were carrying a person, and that person was Youyou!
