Chapter 120
The dimly lit space was filled with an unpleasant aura, and the quiet echo of breathing could be faintly heard, but it was completely impossible to see inside because there was no lighting around it. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
Duran lay in a daze, unable to exert his strength at all, and couldn't open his eyes.
She didn't know how long she had been lying here, she didn't know what it was, she could only feel the cold metal beneath her, lined up one after the other, as if she were in a metal cage.
Even if she barely opened her eyes, Duran's vision was very blurry, just like her current thoughts, in a chaos, and she could only vaguely recall what happened not long ago.
She remembers that she went down the mountain with her companions, and then stayed for two days for some reason, and was about to go back when she was chased and killed.
Surrounded by many humans armed with weapons, he had no way to escape, his face was pale, and his teeth were even trembling, and despair appeared in his eyes little by little.
Duran saw these clearly, so, without any hesitation, she came to her aid.
The mana of the mountain paste has always been not strong, and if you want to use the spell, you must disarm the transformation technique, although Duran moved extremely fast, and the group of villains on the opposite side did not notice the instantaneous change in her body shape because of the shock of being knocked to the ground in an instant and the violent wind that blocked her vision, but the sight of the man who was protected by her was not affected in any way.
Seeing those wicked people leave in a hurry, Duran was actually a little bottomless in his heart, she had never saved a human being, and she didn't know how he would react if he saw his original form.
But he didn't have any abnormal reaction, just thanked her gratefully, and then said goodbye to her happily.
He didn't seem to see her in her original form because he was nervous.
Duran couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
However, she was reassured too soon.
If she had the heart to observe, how could she, with her lame spells, escape the sight of others?
Duran was targeted, and soon, when she was defenseless, she was suddenly attacked, lost consciousness in an instant, and when she woke up again, she was already here.
If he hadn't rescued that person at that time, and hadn't shown his original form because of this, maybe Du Lan would have returned home at this time, holding his son Du Ruo and chatting with the neighbors with a smile.
But Duran chose to save people.
It's the first time to save someone, but she is so duty-free.
If you want to ask why, it's probably Duran's nature.
-- It is also the nature of "mountain ointment".
Duran has always told his son Du Ruo that "Mountain Cream" is a "demon of righteousness".
It is said that a demon is a demon, at most there is only a difference in temperament, but it is difficult to determine its good and evil by race, but Duran and her clan have always believed that the mountain paste is not an ordinary demon, but the "right" side.
And for good reason, of course.
The ancients thought that Zhu was positive, purple was evil, so the mountain paste of the color Ruo Dan fire appeared in a positive image from the beginning, although they would always scold loudly, but "scolding" is also a rule, not meet anyone will scold, but only scold the injustice, so the mountain paste was regarded as a kind of "auspicious beast" by the people in ancient times, not a "demon".
However, it is not only the mountain paste that can distinguish good and evil in this legend, but there are other more powerful creatures, and the most famous of them are naturally the "Pig Pig" and the "Raccoon Pig".
The shape of the pig resembles a unicorn, the green hair is single-horned, the body is strong, very spiritual, someone in the Han Dynasty wrote a book "Foreign Body", the book said that "the gender is straight." Seeing people fighting, those who can't touch straight; Hearing people fighting, why don't you be right", so the pig has become a symbol of justice in law enforcement in ancient times, and even the hat worn by law enforcement officials in ancient times is called "the crown of the pig", and its influence can be seen.
And the shape of the tiger is similar to the pig, "anxious for justice and righteousness, righteous and righteous, distinguishing between right and wrong, impartial and judgment" these four words can perfectly summarize its image, in ancient times, in the prison door, on both sides of the court, when the judge interrogates the prisoner or goes out on the patrol on both sides of the silent avoidance card can see its statue or portrait, enough to prove its position in people's hearts, and the origin of the fox is also terrifying, a sentence "dragon gives birth to nine sons" is enough to explain everything.
A folk chant for many years, a born as a god, the righteous image of the two has long been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, to that station is majestic, the way to distinguish between good and evil is also simple and rude, directly open the mouth to eat the evil side, compared with them, the mountain paste not only has no special appearance, even the mana is very low, what can be done is only to scold people to show their "righteous" position, this comparison is really unbearable to look at.
However, human beings are forgetful after all.
The torrent of time has flowed violently, even if it was the famous pig and the raccoon at the beginning, few people can remember it now, let alone such an inconspicuous mountain ointment?
People gradually forgot these once awe-inspiring existences, and the mountain paste that used to be called "auspicious beast" was naturally forgotten by the world, and became an unknown demon with low mana.
However, for the mages, the status of the mountain paste is not much higher than that of the "little demon", or even lower, after all, in the eyes of the mage, the spells used by the mountain paste with low mana are not lethal at all, and they can only bluff ordinary people, in addition to this, they will only "scold", which will cause some mental damage to the mage at most, and the threat is even inferior to that of ordinary carnivorous beasts, so even if they see the mountain paste, most of the mages will not bother to pay attention to it because of the trouble.
Obviously, it used to be called a "good beast" by the world, but now, it has become such a humble "demon".
Those who still remember the original meaning of "mountain ointment" are probably only themselves.
Mountain ointment is the demon of the righteous path.
Even though the situation is so sad, every mountain paste still remembers this, and so does Duran, which is why she chooses to use spells to save the human, but she doesn't want to invite disaster.
If you go back in time, you can select it again......
Thinking of this in a daze, Duran couldn't help but laugh.
If she could choose again, I'm afraid, she would still choose so.
Because she is a "mountain ointment", a "demon of the righteous path".
Paying the price for the "justice" she believes in, she has no regrets, and the only thing she worries about is her children.
As long as Du Ruo is fine, it doesn't matter.
…… It's just that without his mother by his side, will he be so scared that he cries?
The faint blue light sprinkled down, swaying and outlining many strange black shadows, and barely illuminated the huge iron cage, the gray-haired man stood on the edge of the cage, the faint blue fire came from the candle in his hand, and the strange gray-black smoke drifted from the candle into the cage along the firelight, and was wrapping around the red mountain ointment.
The unfocused gaze gradually became clearer, and the man smiled with satisfaction and gently blew out the candle.
"I see, there's a small one......"
In the cold whispers, the sound of small footsteps gradually moved away, but more small voices sounded in the darkness.
Like a chirp, like a lament, like a roar. (To be continued.) )
