Chapter Seventy-Seven: Heavy Yin
The Du brothers and sisters were so frightened that their faces turned green.
Du Heng hurriedly threw the apple in his hand and lifted the curtain. But when he saw that it was empty, he did not know where the sound came from.
Du Heng got into the car, knocked on the board on the back of the car, and found that it was empty!
"Don't knock, I'm inside, let me out."
Du Heng almost squirted out the apple in his mouth. He groped around along the plank, and sure enough, he found two grooves. With a hard pull of my fingers, I heard a "click", and the plank opened like a door. Sitting upright inside is Sanxiu!
"Tiny Tiny ...... Miss? When did you get in? What are you doing in there? Du Ruo was dumbfounded.
Sanxiu smiled, crawled out of the dark compartment, and said, "Don't be 'Miss' or 'Miss', just call me by my name." I heard your secret conversation in the morning, and when I knew you were leaving, I hid in secretly. ”
She got out of the carriage, looked at the sunset on the horizon, and said, "Sure enough, I only knew the value of freedom after being bound, and the sunset is so beautiful......
Du Ruo said: "But what are you doing with us?" Aren't you afraid that your father will look for you everywhere? ”
"Mother-in-law will explain it to him, and now that you're gone, I won't have anyone to touch at will. I don't want to go back to that life. ”
A trace of sadness crossed Sanxiu's eyes, but it disappeared in the blink of an eye. She tilted her head and smiled mischievously at Du Heng, and said, "Brother Amu, are there still apples?" I want it too! ”
Du Heng handed Sanxiu an apple, and when he saw her swallowing it, a trace of love suddenly rose in his heart.
I didn't expect Miss Fan, who has always been dignified and virtuous, to have such a willful side. It's just that she is a mortal in the end, although she has divine powers, she can't control them. If it is really like what the old woman said, we have to go through many hardships and obstacles along the way, wouldn't it be a sin if Sanxiu made a mistake?
"Sanxiu ......" Du Heng looked at the flashing light in Sanxiu's eyes, and was a little unbearable, "Or, you might as well drive the carriage back, right?" We may encounter a lot of dangers along the way, what if you follow us, what if something happens? ”
Sanxiu was putting the apple in his mouth, and suddenly stopped chewing when he heard Du Heng's words.
"I'm not going back."
Sanxiu's voice was not loud, but it was categorical. After she finished speaking, she continued to nibble, but her expression was much colder.
Du Ruo also came over and persuaded: "Miss, you can go back, you said that you are a mortal, follow the two of us up the sword mountain and down the sea of fire, no matter how you say it......"
Samsu turned his head suddenly, his eyes full of disappointment and pain. She slammed the apple on the ground and shouted at Du Heng: "But, your wife, wasn't she a mortal before?" ”
Du Heng felt that his heart was instantly drained, and said in a trembling voice: "You...... How do you know this? ”
"She was also powerless, but you didn't treat her as a burden, but you wanted to marry her, no matter who said it, you didn't care!"
The sun is setting, the wind is blowing in the forest, and the fallen leaves are flying all over the sky, and it hurts like a knife cut on the face.
"Brother Amu, you said that I look very similar to her......" Sanxiu quieted down, with a smile on the corner of her mouth, but there were tears in her eyes, "You treat me as her and let me go through the wind and rain with you, okay?" ”
Du Heng was silent, and said in his heart, these things, eighty percent were told to her by the old woman. The old woman was clear about the disputes of the immortal clan, and it must not be difficult to know that Du Jun had married a "mortal" wife. Letting Sanxiu go back is undoubtedly the safest choice, but do I really want her to go back?
Looking at Sanxiu's smile with tears, Du Heng seemed to have returned to Wanghuai Tower in a trance. Mourning is all over the wilderness, the fire is soaring, Mu Yu is holding the jade and smiling, the tears in his eyes tell the endless love and distress.
Du Ruo looked at Sanxiu, then at Du Heng, and said: "At that time, we took Xiao Yuhua with us, and there was nothing we could do, which is different from what you are now." In my opinion, you're still ......."
Before Du Ruo finished speaking, Du Heng suddenly said, "Okay, you can come with us." ”
The light in Sanxiu's eyes returned, she took Du Heng's hand and said with a smile: "I know that Brother Amu is the best!" ”
"But don't laugh." Du Heng withdrew his hand from Sanxiu's hand.
Sanxiu was stunned for a moment and said, "Why?" ”
"You don't smile to look more like her."
Du Heng rarely spoke along the way.
The Du family brothers and sisters took turns driving, and only when it was Du Heng's turn to drive, Sanxiu was able to say a few words to Du Ruo in the car to understand the general situation. And when Du Ruo drove and Du Heng sat in the car, the two of them were relatively speechless. Sanxiu wanted to find a topic to chat with Du Heng several times, but Du Heng was perfunctory with a few words. Later, Du Heng didn't even bother to be perfunctory, so he simply closed his eyes and recuperated, and didn't hear Sanxiu's questioning right.
"Don't take it too seriously, he's not targeting you," Du Ruo comforted Sanxiu, "You just look too similar to Xiao Zhaohua, when he sees you, he thinks of Xiao Zhaohua, and he feels uncomfortable." And you really shouldn't have dragged the little yelling flower into that day......"
Sanxiu's eyes lowered and said, "However, I heard from my mother-in-law that Brother Amu's wife is the most important link in the wildfire battle, and everything is caused by her. Doesn't Brother Amu hate her......"
Du Ruo sighed: "Xiao Yuhua killed my father, separated the relationship between the Du family and other families, and killed a few friends who were very close to us, logically speaking, we should hate her." In the beginning, I really hated her, and I hated her so much. But later, when I heard Du Heng talk about her hardships, I felt that she was actually very pitiful, forced to do what she didn't want to do, and she had to take all the charges. Later, I forgave her, these ghosts, in the final analysis, Yu Kongsang did it. ”
"It seems that this woman's position in Brother Amu's heart is really important, I thought that I looked like her, and I could make Brother Amu special to me, but I didn't expect that I was humiliating myself."
Du Ruo looked at Sanxiu's appearance a little unbearable, so he laughed and comforted: "But don't be discouraged, he is reluctant to let you go, after all, the two of you look alike, and he also thinks about looking at you." ”
When Sanxiu heard this, he didn't know whether he should be happy or sad.
Except for eating and resting, the carriage never stopped, and the three-hundred-mile road finally came to an end after half a month. During this period, although Du Heng performed the methods taught by the goddess every day, his body was still weakening day by day, and in the end he couldn't even walk.
Du Ruo felt very pitiful when he looked at Du Heng, so he made a crutch out of a small tree.
At first, Du Heng was not happy, he still stubbornly walked by himself, and almost fell down several times. Sanxiu looked distressed, so he wanted to go up to help, but was pushed away by Du Heng. At this time, Du Ruo handed over the crutches again, Du Heng looked at the crutches and was stunned for a long time, and finally gave in.
The road ahead is no longer accessible by car.
The three of them jumped out of the car, only to see the mountains and rocks in front of them, uneven, and several peaks looming in the thick fog. Looking deeper, the fog is even thicker, and even the appearance of the mountain is no longer visible.
"This is the Mountain of Heavy Yin?" Du Ruo pinched his waist with both hands and looked into the distance, "It looks really cloudy......"
Du Heng unloaded the saddle, put the horse away, leaned on crutches, and walked straight towards the mountain without a sound.
Du Ruo and Sanxiu glanced at each other, and hurriedly followed.
The fog in the forest was a little choking, but Du Heng was the only one who kept coughing. There are unknown trees all around, and there is no end to the walk.
The trees are dense and the forest is poorly lit. The three of them wandered around the forest for a long time, but could not find an exit anyway.
Sanxiu looked at Du Heng's struggling back and said, "Brother Amu, let's rest for a while, if you continue like this, your body will be unbearable." ”
Du Heng didn't speak, still limping through the gaps in the branches.
Suddenly, he stopped.
Du Ruo said: "You are stubborn, you also know how tired ......"
"Shhhh......h ”
Before Du Ruo could ask again, suddenly, a vine with a thick bowl mouth came out of nowhere, instantly entangled Du Heng's arm. A thick branch also bent down from mid-air, like several giant claws grabbing Du Heng's shoulders and lifting him straight up to the canopy.
"Du Heng!"
Du Ruo sacrificed Yaohua, exerted all his strength, and flew towards those vine branches. However, although a few swords fell and fell, countless vines immediately followed.
Du Heng was bound by the vines firmly, and he lifted higher and higher, but he couldn't use any strength to break free, so he had to let the vines pull him towards the canopy. There was a gurgling sound in the black hole in the canopy, like a hungry tiger's mouth.
Du Ruo fell down from exhaustion, and the blade of his sword plunged into the moss on the ground. She was out of breath and could no longer lift her sword.
Sanxiu was anxious but couldn't help. Her eyes turned red, and she rushed to the big tree with vines sticking out, hugging the trunk and shaking it deadly. The tree was as thick as five people hugging each other, and Sanxiu's thin body was attached to the thick trunk like a small grasshopper.
"Let him go! Let him go!! ”
Du Ruo was just about to drink Sanxiu, when he suddenly heard a hissing sound from the place where Sanxiu grabbed the trunk of the tree, and two green smoke rose up.
As if the tree was afraid of the heat, it shook all over and loosened Du Heng by half.
Sanxiu slammed the tree trunk and stared at his hands in a daze, wondering what was happening.
Du Ruo saw that there were two burnt black handprints on the trunk, looked at Sanxiu again, and shouted, "Sanxiu! Go grab the vines! ”
She stepped over to Sanxiu's side, grabbed Sanxiu by the waist and threw it up.
Sanxiu reacted very quickly, and immediately adjusted his body and struggled towards the vines. There were a few more hisses, and the vine was burned off by Sanxiu's hands!
The two fell to the ground, and Du Ruo quickly grabbed the belts of the two and flew back, escaping from the attack range of the tree.
"Brother Amu! How are you? Sanxiu tore off the remaining vines on Du Heng's body.
Du Heng coughed a few times and shook his head to indicate that it was okay. He looked up at the tree, and saw that the crown was so large that countless aerial roots had fallen from the branches and burrowed into the dirt. Looking back, there were trees behind the big trees, all of which were exactly the same as them.
The trunk is brown and red, the leaves are purple, and countless aerial roots are like thousands of strands of blood.
Du Heng picked up the vines on the ground and took a closer look, and found that the vines were like a cotton rope that absorbed water, and it was soaked in a fishy liquid. He squeezed hard, and with a "grunt", the liquid splashed his face.
Du Ruo's face turned pale, she pointed to the half of the vine in Du Heng's hand, and said in a trembling voice: "This ...... It's ......"
Du Heng nodded, his face was extremely pale.
Even the leaves have turned purple, and this enchanted forest has lived for tens of thousands of years......
