CHAPTER XXXII
Suddenly, the head of the tanuki Elvis King appeared vigilantly outside the grave. After all www.biquge.info, it still cares about Elder Ju's safety. Therefore, people still have a sense of responsibility! For example, you see that Tanuki Elvis is hurt by love now, right? You see that Hanjun's Zhaoran is also hurt by love, right? Zhao Ran is dead now! They all died of exhaustion of their vitality. But as for the Tanuki Elvis, he is responsible for his subordinates, and he can't even hide in the grave. That's the difference! At this level of worry, the tanuki Elvis will not be able to die for a while.
"Huh!" Manshu looked at it with a smile, "What would you do if I threatened you with your elder's life?" ”
Tanuki Elvis snorted and retracted his head again. It could tell Manshu was teasing him! Although it doesn't know why Manshu really caught Elder Ju's threat, and it doesn't know what medicine Manshu sells in the gourd, it always feels that Manshu's action is very unreasonable, very teasing it, and making it very unhappy! So it really doesn't want to talk to Manshudo.
"That ......" Manshu and Elder Ju looked at each other again, "Your king doesn't seem to want you anymore!" Do you want to plan for yourself? ”
Elder Ju coughed: "King Man! Let's stop laughing. Let's put it this way, if you want to go to the demon world, then we can't stop it. You have such a big weight, even if you don't want to enter the demon world, sooner or later we will have to report to the throne, and we will have someone above to meet you - it has to be the person from above! Our portion is not enough. ”
"Yo," Manshu still smiled, his mouth digging into the grave, "there's a king here!" Not enough? ”
"That's right." Elder Ju said, "If the emperor sends our king to meet you, that amount will be enough—but most of the time it will not be our king's turn." There are more other thrones that are more secure! - If you want to take you to the demon world, then don't say I can't. Our king is not qualified enough. ”
"And who qualifies?" Manshu asked with interest.
"In this way, I will go back with our king and report to the Demon Emperor-" Elder Ju just said this. Manshu interrupted it and exclaimed, "Amazing! Elder Ju was stunned: "What?" Manshu smiled: "It's not easy for me to meet the state emperor himself here." Don't be afraid of your old jokes. I've finally saved some foundation, and it's not like I can go to see the emperor himself. I don't usually deal with some small soldiers. When you go back, you report to the Demon Emperor, and I feel too impressed. ”
Elder Ju's old face flushed: "I'll report to the Prime Minister Mansion first." You're too big about it. The Prime Minister will definitely tell the Emperor immediately. I guarantee that the Emperor will take care of this matter himself. I'll pick you up shortly! ”
"Thank you very much." Manshu Dao.
"But before that," Elder Ju said, "can we get our king out of it first?" ”
Of course! How, though? Manshu asked, "Is it okay to kidnap and tie up back to the demon world?" ”
A big sweat flowed down Elder Ju's head: "King Man is laughing!" ”
"So you still have to get it out?" Manshu muttered, his hands swiped in the air, and two shadows were drawn in the air. The two shadows held out a mirror.
It's a water mirror.
Choosing Luan to shine on the water, divination. By casting spells on the surface of the water, you can see what is far away or what is happening in the past.
Manshu now uses this to see how Elvis Tanuki is doing in the grave.
As soon as the shadow of the Tanuki Elvis appeared, Elder Ju suddenly jumped back vigilantly: "King Man, please respect yourself!" "Wave your hand and hit the mirror.
Manshu stuck out his tongue. Let it break the mirror of the water.
This water mirror can look at the Tanuki Presley in the grave, and you can also use the aura of the Tanuki Elvis and Elder Ju to see the situation in the demon world!
I can't help but say that Elder Ju is very vigilant!
"If you don't look at it, don't look at it." Manshu muttered and said to Chenfeng, "Then you come." ”
If the morning breeze doesn't work, it will be by Manshu, which is usually violent, and Manshu will smash a new world with an iron fist. If Manshu can't do it, it will come from the morning breeze, which is generally a meticulous behavior, and it will be a spring breeze and a spring rain.
Chenfeng whispered to the grave, "What did he tell you before he sent you away?" ”
There is only one clue that can make the tanuki Elvis come out of his pathos. It's like opening a special lock, there can only be one key. And Chenfeng just has the key.
It's in the story that Tanuki Elvis himself told to Chenfeng.
Hey, isn't Manshu listening to this story together? Why didn't Manshu realize it?
If you ask her, Manshu will only pluck out her ears and laugh: "Ah, anyway, there are other people who are so good at it, why bother yourself, right?" ”
Sounds reasonable.
In short, Chenfeng is indeed better than Manshu in this kind of thing. He asked, looking into the grave. Tanuki Elvis remembered that sentence: In a long life, if you think about someone who has loved you, your heart will be warmer, right?
Alas, he gave it to him! He knew he had to give it this as well. A memory. One day it discovers the truth, and there is no need to be sad or hesitate, just keep it as a treasure: in a long life, think of a person who has loved him!
My heart is indeed a little warmer.
Life is so pitiful, just this can be warmed. And how many lives don't even have the slightest warmth.
Tanuki Elvis finally came out of the grave with red eyes, and the first thing he said was to ask, "What deal did you send?" ”
Hey! Immediately, it was decided that there was a deal between them!
Although the Tanuki Elvis was comforted by Chenfeng, Elder Ju should also keep his promise to take Manshu back to the Demon Realm. But it still insisted that it was not to bring it back immediately, but to report it to the demon world first.
Manshu pinned his hand behind his back, and with a roll of his eyes, he agreed, but asked Elder Ju to bring a greeting gift back to Tanuki Elvis. She stretched out her left hand and handed them the gift. This gift looks very strange, like a fragment on some machine, which is still impregnated with a large amount of spiritual and demonic power.
"In fact, in Lingzhou, there are already spiritual cultivators who can create demons. But they want to make mercenaries. "It's a piece of the machine." When you emperor sees it, he will be happy to see me. ”
Elder Ju and Tanuki Elvis solemnly put away the fragments. After they left, Morning Wind asked Manshu, "What's wrong?" ”
Manshu stretched out his right hand, and in the palm of his hand was a small mirror of the water. The Black Fork Forest Lord has sent news from here: he has found a new place, and it may be another crack that can lead to the demon world!
In other words, on the border of Huozhou, a little away from the Black Fork Forest, there is such a stone cave. The cave was lush and green, and the moss grew very quietly, and there was no one to do it.
It was a little lively, but in the end, it was silent and desolate.
The reason why the Black Fork Forest Lord can still hear about it is related to a hunter.
The hunter went hunting, and saw a coffin on the hill, half-exposed in the dirt, looking very shabby. It stinks inside. It may be that people from other states, who like burial customs, came here, died, hurriedly nailed the coffin, did not bury it well, was washed away by the wind and rain, and exposed it!
The Orion was also kind, so he sent out a fire and wanted to help them cremate the body. Well, for those who believe in burial, this kind of help is actually a kind of insult...... But Orion's level of education is not high, and his mind is relatively simple! He wanted to do it......
As a result, the coffin burned to the ground, and something shiny silver was revealed. The Orion was taken aback, put out the fire, and looked in: Wow! It's full of silver!
Uh, not Lingbao. In fact, for many spiritual cultivators, the spiritual treasure is the most important. And the low-level spirit treasure is not enough, it needs to be high-level. The more advanced the better.
- But for ordinary people, silver is enough. Real money is the most special and practical! Orion happily brought the silver back. There was also a pig's head in the coffin, which was already rotten. That's it. Orion doesn't like to eat rotten pigs' heads.
He went back with the silver, renovated the house, bought furniture, bought jewelry and clothes for his wife, bought servants, and then took the beautiful little maid, bought jewelry and clothes for the little maid, and kicked her happily......
So the wife went out and cried......
It just so happened that there was a group of beggars begging for food.
He said he was a beggar, but he looked fierce! I don't concentrate much on begging, but I pay more attention to chatting with people.
The Orion's wife went out to cry, and the beggars listened attentively. When they had heard this, they looked at each other, and with a smile on their faces, they cried out and went to the Orion.
It turns out that they are robbers!
They robbed the people of their money, but they were overtaken, and in a hurry, they saw that there was a coffin, so they took it and put the money in it first. I put a stinky pig's head again, hoping that if there is a passer-by and smells the stench, it will also think that it is a corpse that stinks, and will avoid it. Where did you think that this Orion is so eventful!
At last they had taken care of the pursuers, and when they came back, they saw that the coffin was half charred, and the silver in it was gone. The robber's mind turned, and he also knew what was happening: he must have been carried away by someone nearby!
They can't lose their money in vain! They disguised themselves as beggars (though they didn't look like them) and crossed their shoulders to the neighborhood to listen!
What they are most afraid of now is that the one who took the money will go away and fly away, incognito, or something, so that they will have nowhere to find it. I didn't expect Orion to be so interesting! Just spend it! And I got rid of my wife! It's so easy for them to find out!
They happily asked for money from the hunters.
Orion...... No money.
He spends and spends and doesn't know how, and there is nothing left to spend the money. Oh of course, he doesn't worry about the rest of his life! He bought a lot of properties and bought a lot of bonds, and it was said that they were all very reasonable investments, very principal-preserving, but the problem was ...... None of this can be transferred to the robbers.
The robber was so angry that he beat him up!
When it is, too! All the servants hated that their father and mother had two legs, and that they were swarming out from all directions, and Orion was bewildered, and wanted to discuss: "Do you know that there is a king's ......law?" The beggar—oh no, the robber—did not say a word, and drew a circle in the sky with his long stick, and then stepped with his feet, and smashed the head of the stick against the nose of the hunter. The other robbers shouted in unison, like wolves and tigers to the Orion, for a time the yard was full of sticks and shadows flying, although the Orion Spiritual Skill is not good, the eyesight that fights with the beast is still there, see that the disparity between the enemy and me is too disproportionate, and the first robber is not only profound, but also tricky, this is going to be bad!
He rolled backwards, barely holding the fork in his hand—his sidearm used to be a hunting fork, but now he's not wide! So I used a knife and a small fork for cutting steaks...... "When! "I actually hit the opponent's stick! Good head!
It's useless.
The other party's stick directly crushed him and his knife and fork to the ground, and then the rest of the robbers also beckoned.
Orion saw the shadow of the empty stick coming, and did not hesitate to turn around, so that his back met the enemy stick.
The back is a part of the human resistance to fighting. But it also depends on what to fight. If it is a Mount Tai flying head-on, then in fact, it makes no difference whether to greet it with its head or with its stomach or with its back.
In an instant, Orion did not know how many sticks he had hit, and he spasmed in pain. The robbers did not use their swords, but they rained down sticks, and they targeted him on the back of his head and spine, and used a vicious method that clearly beat him to death, or to be paralyzed for life—or perhaps it was very possible to break him first and then cut him into pulp to vent his anger.
He was supposed to be killed.
But the Black Fork Forest Lord happened to pass by.
The rest is simple. How did these robbers beat the hunters in groups, and the black fork forest lord singled them out more easily, like a kebab connected to flesh and bones, well, it can really be skewered-
"Heroes spare their lives!" In order to avoid the fate of being skewered, the robbers exclaimed, "Can we buy our lives?" ”
"You don't seem to have any money, do you?" The Black Fork Forest Lord calmly pointed out the facts.
"Hmm......" the robber racked his brains, "we still have intelligence!" ”
"Oh?" The black fork forest lord changed his posture to a more comfortable position, "From the beginning." ”
The robbers started at the beginning. The earliest source of their silver came from the cave mentioned above. The cave was deserted, but it was once wide—
In the past, people would go to the cave on a regular or irregular basis for one purpose: to offer sacrifices.
There are also sacrifices in other places, always on auspicious days, offering three animals and jade silk, burning paper and burning candles, or rewarding the gods, or comforting the ancestors.
Only on the banks of the Don River, leaving the city, there are seventy-two villages at the bottom of the Fulong Cliff, and the sacrifices passed down from generation to generation are used by people.
The so-called "birth sacrifice".
The last issue of the birth sacrifice is a story that can be sung and cried. The robber heard it from someone else and told the Black Fork Forest Lord. After the Black Fork Forest Lord went back, he told the Mercy Star again. Mercy Star has created it into a more beautiful story. The story begins like this:
At the height of the entrance of the stone cave, there is a flute horizontally, snow-white, slender, and the flute hole is so small that it is almost impossible to see. Ah Feng fetched firewood and carried water to hug the rabbit, passed by the nearby mountain, looked at it from a distance, and thought: "What kind of tune is such a flute blowing?" ”
Legend has it that there was originally a terrible monster here, but fortunately a hero sealed it in the underground and kept the peace of the place. It's a pity that even the hero can't kill it completely. It sleeps in the ground, and if it turns over and wakes up, it will cause a landslide and the ground crack, and the life of a hundred miles will be destroyed. In order to help it sleep, the people of the seventy-two villages had to hold a life sacrifice all the time.
This flute is also left by the hero. Legend has praised it for strengthening the seal, while warning everyone: never touch it! If you touch it, you will be discouraged.
Feng Sheng didn't know if his brother Yayoi had secretly touched this flute, but in short, Yayoi had mysteriously disappeared into this hole, like all sacrifices of life, and he didn't realize that it had been five years.
The people in the seventy-two villages within a radius of Fulong Cliff are almost forgetting him. For them, the cave was just the disappearance of a self-conscious and unskilled purifier. Maybe the monster ate him, like those sacrifices.
They don't know. Yayoi was the most talented purifying master in the southern continent of this era. Yayoi has never liked to show off. Whenever he went to a place, he would only silently investigate and clean, and when he was done, the local residents would widen their eyes, amazed and impressed, and Yayoi politely bowed and took out his pure bowl: "Then, if you have any precious things, you may as well give them to me to make a good fate." ”
His name and emblem are engraved on the bowl, and the pen is sharp and compelling.
Fengsheng loves moments like this the most. The stranger who came from afar quietly turned things around, and people found out that he was a big hero, what a reversal!
However, if the hero dies before he can get out of school, there will be no reversal, leaving only confusion and loss, engraved in the hearts of his relatives, like a bitter ridicule and a deep mystery.
After Yayoi disappeared, Fengsheng stayed at Fulong Cliff, hunting and collecting firewood to make a living. After gathering firewood and picking up animal skins, he sent them to the grocery store in Zhaikou, where the proprietress was so serious that she was cruel, but she had an infinitely soft daughter named Shui Pei.
When the proprietress bent down to touch the money jar, Feng Sheng would quickly glance at the girl who was sitting in the depths of the store. Miss Shui Pei definitely didn't like him, and she turned her face away every time. The proprietress straightened up and saw the customer's disappointed lowered eyes.
In fact, there is an old costume hanging in the depths of the store, which is inlaid with yellow copper plates, which can be used as a mirror. Miss Shui Pei bit her lip, turned her face away, held back a smile, and looked at the handsome foreign boy in the mirror, her eyes were so hot that her heart beated. In the corner of the eye, there was a small, red mole, like a bird kissing it on the head. In the dream, she had stroked the mole with her fingers and accidentally scalded her fingertips.
In the temple hewn out of stone, a throne was placed.
The throne is carved from a single piece of lazuli. The carved is a reckless deep forest, the shape of each leaf is different, each leaf vein is clearly identifiable, there are countless birds and beasts hidden among the thousands of leaves, and there are elves peeking out. The elves' eyes are set with emeralds, and their color is more luscious than the deepest valleys. The coat color of other animals, as well as the flowers and fruits on the branches, are made of jadeite, agarwood, crystal, agate, and opal. The rarities here are more valuable than all the jewels on the queen's phoenix crown combined.
Sitting on the throne was a maiden. There was only one girl. Her robe was as grand and glorious as a throne, but she herself was thin and stunted.
She leaned her ears and listened to the sound of footsteps outside the house.
Her hand was hidden in her sleeve.
After confirming that the footsteps had withered away, and that the people who served her had left, the corners of her pale lips relaxed, and a smile overflowed. His hand was drawn from his sleeve, and he held a flute between his fingers.
The snow-white flute, the holes on the flute are so fine, only her thin fingertips can control it freely.
The flute leaned close to her lips, and the girl hesitated a little and froze. There was no wind, her sleeves shook slightly, and according to the requirements of customs, there were many small bronze mirrors with bright and shiny faces, and at this time, with the sleeves trembling gently, reflecting the treasure pearls, like many stars.
A light and sharp voice woke Feng Sheng. He looked up and saw Yayoi wet his broom in the moonlight.
In his heart, Fengsheng said to himself, "Oh, it's a dream. ”
After Yayoi disappeared, pillowing the moonlight of Fulong Cliff, Feng Sheng didn't know how many times he dreamed of this night, the moon was gone, and the morning glow had not yet spread, so that even the dream was full of sorrow, Yayoi was wet under the moon and woke up Feng Sheng.
Feng Sheng got up in his clothes, and saw that the broom was washed by the moonlight, and the wisps of spirit were clear, as if he could make a dragon groan when he raised his beard. Yayoi was neatly dressed and said to Feng Sheng, "I'm leaving." ”
How did Yayoi decide: when to go? Where to go? To what extent is it certain that there is a fate waiting for him? - It's a mystery to Fengsheng.
Maybe when he cultivates a little higher and catches up with Yayoi a little more, he will understand. Feng Sheng took up his baggage and followed Yayoi without asking too many questions.
At that time, he thought that everything was in Yayoi's hands. Just trust. No need to ask.
They arrived at the Fulong Cliff. In the seventy-two villages of Fulongya, the shallow smile of the daughter of the grocery store at the entrance of one of the villages shook Fengsheng's mind.
At the foot of the Fulong Cliff, they saw the nameless cave, and above the entrance of the cave, there was a snow-white flute, so slender, at first glance, like the scratches of the wind on the tips of the years.
The moss at the entrance of the cave grows thick and quiet. People stay away from here, and they can't tell whether they are in awe or awe, but they leave it alone. Only when there was a commotion in the mountains, there was a gurgling sound in the ground, the well water suddenly became muddy or dried up, and the roe deer, black bears, and yellow foxes were scurrying all over the mountain.
In the seventy-two villages, is there anyone who is seriously ill and dying? That's great! The family doesn't have to spend money to buy medicine, and the seventy-two villages paid to thank their family and carry the patient into the hole, which can be regarded as a kind of waste utilization! If it is unfortunate that everyone is healthy for a while, and there is no one who is sick, just see who is the oldest, so old that he can't speak clearly, and he can't walk on the road, and it is also a sin to stay in the world, so it is better to carry it into the hole to exert the residual heat, and the seventy-two villages collectively pay for their children and grandchildren to thank them.
The monster doesn't pick any boys, girls, or birthdays, as long as he is still alive when he is carried in. So the seventy-two villages didn't think that sacrifice was a big burden, and never looked for a purifier to kill demons and demons - just kidding! Back then, the great heroes of the ancients were just able to seal monsters, so what can the Purifier do now? Don't make a bad one, wake up the monster with stimulation, that's what makes life miserable!
Now it is time for the sacrifice again. (To be continued.) )
