Chapter 13: The Feast of Demons
Master Mu Qing stopped as soon as he walked out of the village, he turned around and said to Zhibei and Moe who were following closely, "The ghost tribe is actually in the north, but we can get there soon. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info”
Zhibei looked at Master Mu Qing with a smug face in puzzlement, Mu Qing stretched out two fingers, he seemed to be holding something with these two fingers, only to see him pull suddenly, a white belt fell from the sky, and a cloud in the sky was torn down.
"Because we have cloud cars!" Mu Qing smiled, and he gently patted the clouds floating on the ground, causing the white marshmallow to tumble for a moment.
"......" Zhibei and Meng looked at the clouds that the light could penetrate in a daze, this kind of thing can really sit people?
"Come, let's go!" Ignoring the distrust of Chibei and Moe, Aoki pulled the two (?) Stepping on the clouds, Meng subconsciously immediately floated up with [telekinesis], so only Zhibei won the title of 'floating in the clouds' here (guess the stalk).
The feet seem to be stepping on the fluctuating soft mud, but the undulating force is not very large, as if receiving a massage, it is rare to be smooth and comfortable.
"How's it going, how does it feel to ride in the clouds?" Mu Qing asked.
"It's weird...... Well, but it's actually very stable...... "Zhibei replied, "Moe! Don't use [Mental Power] either! It's pretty safe here! ”
"Oooh...... (Okay!) Miss Ben is not afraid! Meng said, her small body also fell on the cloud car.
Mu Qing smiled and swiped his two fingers upward, and the clouds suddenly became fast and kept rising, and this sudden acceleration pressed Zhibei and Meng into the clouds, making them scream in fright.
"Ahhhhhh!!!!hhh
Two (?) You can see through the thin clouds the smaller and smaller villages below, the smaller and smaller forests...... It's like you're about to fall!
However, after a while, when the surrounding rolling mountains were also in full view, Zhibei turned his scream into laughter.
"Hahahaha!" He pulled his head out of the clouds, and was greeted by the cool and cheerful wind like a knife, the constantly opening and closing of the changing clouds, the blue sky as blue as the ocean, and the burning sun hanging high at the end of the sky.
This is a grand scene that is rare for mortals to see, and it is a scene that Zhibei has always longed to see. If you sit in an airplane, although you are also flying high in the sky, you will eventually have no choice but to be blocked by cold glass. This free and easy feeling of wandering in the world has to be like this.
Zhibei smiled and opened his arms, he could easily touch the elves in the sky, the ethereal clouds, in their embrace, Zhibei shouted happily: "Absolute clouds, negative blue sky!! ”
"Good!" Aoki on the side praised loudly, "Zhibei-kun, it seems that you also have the qualifications to cultivate!" Just by your heart, you can see the freedom! Hahahaha......"
"Huh!?? Don't laugh at me! Zhibei, who had just been in the second report, finally realized that he was ashamed.
"Hahahaha!!"
Mu Qing laughed loudly, Meng floated to the side, and patted Zhibei's shoulder helplessly.
-- The dividing line that is moving forward at a rapid pace――――――――――――
Although the speed of the cloud car was very fast, it was already evening when they arrived at the destination, and according to Mu Qing, the ghost tribe was on the top of the mountain, so the place where the three of them landed was halfway up the mountain. The mountain is not very high, the mountain is very gentle, and the trees are relatively sparse, but it is too huge, like a sleeping Buddha, with an indescribable solemnity.
At this time, the sky is covered with bright fire clouds, and the forest is also a mix of light and dark, and the whole mountain becomes beautiful in the ripples of fire. Of course, you can't see what the ghost village looks like here, but Zhibei has already seen the smoke on the top of the mountain.
"The rest of the road is going up, and we, as visitors, might as well be polite by our legs!" Mu Qing said.
Zhibei and Meng nodded, and followed in the footsteps of Master Mu Qing and climbed up in the mountains and forests.
Crawling and crawling, Zhibei suddenly heard a lot of voices mixed with singing, the singing became louder and louder, and Zhibei could feel more and more that the tenacity contained in the hoarse and heroic harmony, [The Voice of All Souls] once again played a role, so that Zhibei could understand the content of the song.
"Fireworks ignite the mountains and forests, and all that the gods fear (the land of no contention), all our favorite (springs of wine) will be turned into ashes and black. The Lord of Turmoil is crying out, darkness is coming with eternal calamity, and we are to light fire, kindle fire, light fire, create shadows with fire, extinguish fear with wine, bring blood with swords and spears, and exchange laughter with death. Ahhhh The spirits will give us peace, eternal invincible power......"
"This is ......," Zhibei asked.
He couldn't see Mu Qing's face clearly in the light and extinction, but Zhibei was sure that he smiled, "We came just right!" Mu Qing said, "There's a banquet going on there!" The banquet of the ghost clan, most of the ghost clan will not kill during the banquet, and will also receive visitors politely, on such a night, even humans can participate in the banquet, but after the banquet can be completely out of the two words. ”
"Is it that good?" Zhibei is a little unbelieving, in the records of the historical records, ghosts are monsters that specialize in hunting and killing humans, and they will go to human villages from time to time to burn and loot (mainly robbing alcohol). However, perhaps in this era when Yakumo Murasaki was not even born, there is a different definition of ghost!
"That's right! In fact, ghosts are the purest of youkai, and in the eyes of our cultivators, most of them are not even youkai, but mortals are still afraid of them. They are monsters that the people of chaos have turned into on their own initiative, so they still retain the temperament of the people of chaos, and they love the peaceful days of the chaos period. But because demons are often born in times of war, they become fond of killing, fond of fighting, and will fight whenever someone invades their territory (or disagrees). Mu Qing said calmly, "However, there is no need to worry about talking after the fight now, because the ghost is holding a banquet right now." ”
"That's it!" Zhibei was a little stunned, such a ghost clan is too far behind what is recorded in the history of seeking news! Could it be that youkai will evolve too? Great, my natural choice!!
"By the way, Zhibeijun, and Meng, you have to remember one thing, in the face of the ghost clan, you must not tell lies, because even if it is a banquet, they will fight because they lied!" Mu Qing reminded.
"...... "How upright are these monsters!! Zhibei was speechless.
The three of them continued to climb, and soon two rough logs stood in the mud in front of them, on a very high point (higher than the ordinary village gate). There was a sign with the name of the village on it.
"What's that? Master Mu Qing? "It's a pity that [Voice of All Souls] can't translate words, so Zhibei can't understand it.
"Can't you see? The name of the village is written there, and this is the sake village. Mu Qing said.
Zhibei looked in from the village gate, the straight dirt road leads to the center of the village, in the center of the circular square, there is a raging flame, the first two horned ghosts dance around the bonfire, in the high and wild singing, those shadows licked by the tongue of fire are reflected on the surrounding houses, like hideous dark flowers blooming everywhere.
That's what it is...... Feast of Demons!
