Chapter 207: The Unexpected
"Tap, Tap, Tap, ......"
In the silent and eerie dark forest, there was a sound of footsteps. The footsteps came from far and near, and the direction was towards An Yun.
An Yun's pupils shrank slightly, and the Zixiao Thunder Sword Qi was wrapped around his fingers without triggering, and he looked vigilantly in the direction where the footsteps came from.
In this weird dark forest, even the fifth-order demon beasts had to restrain their breath and hide it, and they didn't dare to come out and walk around, but there were actually footsteps swaggering out of it, but it didn't cause the attack of the black strange tree, what was it that came out?
Whatever it is, it seems extremely abnormal. If it was usual, An Yun would definitely find a place to hide temporarily, but on this isolated island, she didn't even have a place to hide, so she had to wait for the appearance of the comer with all her attention.
The footsteps were getting closer and closer, but An Yun's expression was getting calmer and calmer, and a strange look appeared in the depths of her eyes, as if there was something she couldn't understand. The bearded macaque and Bai Xue, who were waiting for the battle, also relaxed, and their eyes were also a little confused.
In the depths of the dark forest, a little firelight appeared, like a small firefly flying in the dark night. The glow of the fireflies is weak, but it attracts the attention of all creatures in the night. The fluorescence got closer and closer, and gradually became clearer, and it turned out to be a small torch. The light of the torch was bright, but it illuminated the dark forest along the way, and a small figure walked out of the darkness.
He walked through those terrifying black vines, walked through those terrifying nether flowers, step by step, as if walking easily. I didn't realize that I was walking in the world of hell, and I would be devoured by corpses at any time.
An Yun narrowed his eyes. Her divine sense swept over and over the person who came, and in the end, she still didn't notice any powerful aura on the other person's body. Some are just ordinary, weak, and vulnerable.
The man who came was a mortal, and a mortal little boy.
He came out of the darkness with a small torch in his hand. The faint light of the torch shone on his thin face, and those dark eyes looked at An Yun fixedly, with unease, with trepidation, and with a glimmer of hope in despair.
He just looked at An Yun like that. Quietly, weakly, and defenselessly, he looked at her, rubbing his feet restlessly on the ground, and it was obvious that he was nervous.
"Are you the landlord?" He opened his mouth weakly, and immediately straightened his back again, staring at her without blinking.
“……”
An Yun was really surprised, only the people on the thirteenth floor of Tsing Yi called her the landlord. Everyone else calls her a little girl or An Yun Xiaoyou, why does this child ask her if she is the landlord when she meets?
"Who are you? Why do you call me landlord? An Yun was silent for a while and asked.
"I've seen you." The child's words were not shocking, and as soon as he opened his mouth, An Yun was taken aback again.
How powerful is the memory of a cultivator. The events of thousands of years are clearly remembered, even if it is just a passing moment, you can still clearly remember the appearance of the other party after a thousand years. However, An Yun was sure that he had not seen this little boy. Regardless of past life or present life.
"I've really seen you." When the kid saw that An Yun didn't speak, he thought An Yun didn't believe him. Hurriedly spoke.
"I haven't seen you, and I don't remember I've been here. So how did you meet me? If he wasn't so sure that this kid didn't pose the slightest threat to him, An Yun couldn't help but take action to control this strange little ghost.
"It's true that you haven't seen me, but I have seen you, in my dreams." The child's free hand gestured and said, his eyes were very serious.
An Yun couldn't help but want to laugh: "In a dream? What do I look like in my dreams? ”
The child thought about it seriously, and then said, "It's exactly the same as now." ”
An Yun laughed out loud, and heard the child's voice in his ears and continued: "There is also this snow-white dog, and it is also standing beside you like this in your dream." ”
"Woo woo...... "Whoa," the snow-covered Yang Tian long screamed, using his voice to prove that he was a wolf, not a dog in a child's mouth.
"Oh, and what?" An Yun said to the child indispensably.
"And there were a lot of people around you at the time, but now they're not with you anymore. I still remember a man holding three very large turtles in his hands, and they all called you landlord. The kid added.
An Yun's face changed, his playful expression was put away, his eyes were staring at the child, and he asked solemnly, "What else?" ”
"And then there was an old man who appeared in my dreams and said to me, remember her, she can save our people." The child said seriously, looking at An Yun with hopeful eyes.
That gaze was so hot, that gaze was so focused, An Yun was a little unbearable, and lowered his eyes slightly to avoid his direct gaze.
"So...... Are you a landlord? He asked, looking cautious.
An Yun was silent, she seemed to understand.
The art of separation of two hearts! In ancient times, the secret technique that only some cultivators would practice was an extremely strange secret technique. The effect of this secret technique is similar to that of the soul lamps or reincarnation stones of the major sects.
The soul lamp and reincarnation stone of the sect store a wisp of the monk's primordial spirit, if something happens to the monk, the soul lamp will be extinguished, and the reincarnation stone will be broken. In this way, people in the sect can know that the person is dead.
The effect of the technique of two-heart separation is better than that of the soul lamp and the reincarnation stone, and the technique of two-heart separation is that the monk forcibly seals a trace of his own divine soul in the soul of his own children, and from then on, his children and the descendants of his children can sense his existence. If he dies, the trace of his soul that remains in the soul of future generations will awaken and replay the scene of the moment before his death in the minds of his descendants, so that his descendants will know who the enemy is, or what happened to him.
This secret technique has long been lost, and it is only suitable for use in the family of cultivators, and it is only effective if there is a blood relationship.
An Yun didn't expect that Sun Bu'er would also practice such a secret technique, and the situation at that moment before death would be replayed in this child's mind. The child still thinks he is dreaming, but this qiē is a real thing.
"You...... But the surname Sun? An Yun asked tentatively.
The child was happy and hurriedly responded: "Yes, the landlord." My surname is Sun, and my name is Sun Lingyun. Landlord. How do you know what my last name is? ”
"......" Lingyun? Do you want to break out of your cursed fate and get out of this cage?
An Yun smiled reluctantly: "I also had a dream." So know your surname is Sun. ”
"Really? That's great, it turns out that the landlord also dreamed of me. When the child heard An Yun say this, he consciously became close to An Yun, and couldn't help but walk to An Yun's side, raised his head and looked at her happily.
An Yun sighed again: The promise really can't be promised indiscriminately, people's hearts can be bullied, and heaven can't be bullied.
She touched Sun Lingyun's head, and Sun Lingyun lowered her head very cooperatively, making her feel more comfortable.
"Sue me. How did you get out of this dark forest? Those strange trees, why don't they attack you? An Yun asked.
Sun Lingyun smiled and took out a dry black block from his arms, held it up in front of An Yun and said, "Landlord, as long as you carry this thing, those black strange trees will not attack me." ”
"Oh?" An Yun picked up this black thing from his hand in surprise, Sun Lingyun's fingers shrank slightly, as if he wanted to take back the black object, but he forcibly held back and let An Yun take it from his hand.
An Yun noticed that his expression was nervous. I pinched the black block, and it felt a little soft, a bit like a dried mushroom. She felt very uncomfortable with the black oval block. There was an aura that made her very uneasy, like the eyes of a ghost, staring at her with gloomy indifference.
This ghostly aura is very ominous. Presumably, this thing also came from the netherworld, so Sun Lingyun carried it. The Dark Forest wouldn't attack him.
"Is this thing important?" She asked.
Sun Lingyun nervously looked at the deformed black mass in her palm, rubbed her hands and said, "Important." It's very important, we only have this in the village. I sneaked into the ancestral hall today, quietly took it out, and put it back later. ”
"It's so important! So why did you steal it out? ”
"I knew that the landlord was here, so I was worried that the landlord wouldn't be able to come in, so I came out with black pupils to pick up the landlord." Sun Lingyun said with a blank look.
An Yun was stunned, and after a while, he asked curiously, "How did you know that I was here?" ”
"I don't know, I just felt that the landlord was coming, so I came out." Sun Lingyun buckled his head, his eyes were a little confused, and he didn't seem to understand why he knew that An Yun was coming.
An Yun thought about it for a moment and roughly guessed the reason. It seems that Sun Buji's technique of separating two hearts is working. When she first woke up, she had searched the entire island with her divine sense, and found that there was a human breath in the depths of the dark forest. It was at that moment that the trace of Sun Buer's soul that remained in Sun Lingyun's soul sensed her breath and acted on Sun Buer's body.
So he knew that An Yun was coming, and came to pick her up with the so-called black pupils.
This qiē finally makes sense.
However, An Yun was a little hesitant, should he follow the child in? What can I do when I get in? Sun Buji told Sun Lingyun that he was the hope of their clan, but he didn't know where he could help them. Even herself, isn't she trapped on this isolated island and doesn't know how to leave?
This island is called Funiu Island.
Funiu Island is the land of evil.
Before Sun Buji died, he deliberately said that it was Funiu Island, the purpose was to test whether An Yun knew this place, this allusion. Unexpectedly, An Yun frowned when he heard the name of Funiu Island, and Sun Buer immediately knew that An Yun knew this allusion, so he would entrust the fate of the clan to her.
He may have chosen to trust An Yun only out of desperation before he died, he didn't know what she could do for their clan, but at least there was a hope to save it, to keep a thought so that he could be blinded.
"Actually, there were two black pupils, but then there was only one, and I heard from the people in the village that the other black pupil was taken away by my grandfather and some other people. They left the island of Funiu and never returned. Everyone said that they died in the Netherworld, because the Nethersea has no boundary, and it is impossible for them to cross the Netherworld. Sun Lingyun remembered something, so he said.
"Your grandfather's name is Sun Buji?" An Yun asked.
Sun Lingyun thought hard for a while, shook his head and said, "I don't know, they didn't tell me grandpa's name." ”
"Well, how many people are there in your village? Are you the only village on this island? "Since he is here, and there is no way to leave for the time being, An Yun naturally wants to know about the situation on the island.
Sun Lingyun thought for a moment, and said loudly: "There are a total of seven hundred and fifty-two people in our village, and we are the only one on this island, and there are no other people. ”
Are they all ordinary people? How did they survive?
An Yun was very sure that the people in Sun Lingyun's village must be the group of traitorous monks in the cultivation world who were sent to the land of evil by the Heavenly Dao Alliance in ancient times, as well as their relatives. I didn't expect that tens of thousands of years have passed, they are still alive and strong, and they are not dead, and their descendants have actually taken root on this cursed island.
Listening to Sun Lingyun's words, Sun Buer and some people had left the dark forest with a black pupil, presumably the purpose of their group was to find a way out and lead their clansmen out of this cursed island and return to the human world. The clansmen who stayed on the island thought that Sun Buji and they all died in the Netherworld Sea, but An Yun knew that no, at least Sun Buji survived, and searched all over the world for a way to lead the clansmen back again.
Perhaps, after Sun Buji left this Funiu Island, he couldn't remember the way back. Otherwise, he should have returned here a long time ago and led his people to leave.
"Xiaoyun, can you take me in?" An Yun asked, after all, there was only one black pupil, and she wasn't sure if it was effective.
"Yes, landlord, as long as you are within a foot of the black pupil, these black trees will not attack you." Sun Lingyun took An Yun's hand and reassured. After a pause, he said, "But we have to hurry, and we must return to the village before dawn." ”
"Why is that?"
"After dawn, these dark woods will sleep, and then the demon beasts in the woods will come out, and if they are discovered by the demon beasts, they will eat us." Sun Lingyun said in horror, as if he remembered something terrible.
"Okay, let's go." An Yun took out the beast spirit bag, and Bai Xue quickly got into it. The bearded macaque refused to enter the beast spirit bag, but jumped onto An Yun's shoulder.
An Yun held the black pupil in one hand and Sun Lingyun in the other, and slowly walked into the dark forest.
Her divine sense was highly vigilant, and she finally found that as Sun Lingyun said, the black strange tree did not attack her, so she slowly relaxed her heart. Under the guidance of Sun Lingyun, the two of them and a monkey walked in the eerie dark forest with the faint light of the torches. (To be continued......)
