Chapter 9: The Moat

At noon, in the depths of the moat forest, one tall and one short, two tall and one short figures shuttled through the shadowy shade of the trees, sneakily not knowing what they were doing.

Looking closely, the small orange figure made people a little speechless, carrying a lot of sharp weapons such as knives and shovels on his back, and carrying a large bag of dry food in both hands, looking left and right as if he was afraid that others would snatch it. Behind her, a white figure followed vigilantly.

"Senior brother."

"Huh?"

"Squat down and walk."

"Why?"

"You're so swaggering, it's easy to be exposed."

"Exposed?" He looked around, but he didn't think he could be exposed, could anyone else in this inaccessible place be so boring except for the two of them? Besides, this is a dangerous place that people in the human world avoid and fear, will anyone be sent to death?

"Senior brother, hurry up," Xue Ling urged.

Qingjian had to resign himself to learning Xue Ling's appearance and walking on his side, this girl is their Penglai's group pet, he can't do it if he wants to, otherwise the seven weirdos will definitely complain that he didn't take good care of this little junior sister, and then he must have a 'love education'.

"Cher, where the hell are we going? It's not all in the moat now. ”

"Well, let's go again", Xue Ling thought to herself: I don't know myself, how can I tell you! If you walk around again, you should be able to see rare things like those mechanisms in the human world.

Qingjian nodded, thinking, whatever, just protect this little junior sister, as for the junior sister's thoughts, he can't understand or understand, so why bother asking for trouble.

He looked up at the hour, which should have been the warmest time of the day, but the moat was eerie, and the deeper he went into the jungle, the more lonely and cold it became. At the same time, Xue Ling on the side also felt this way, but he couldn't resist the attraction of those novelties.

Slowly, as if they were being pulled by something, they walked step by step towards the deepest part of the moat.

When night falls, the sky is dotted with cold stars, slightly flashing a little light, the originally cold moat is even more bleak and cold at this time, like the deserted Gobi, and like the deep yin Lechuan River.

In this case, among the verdant trees, there are two outstanding figures.

"Why are these two people, do you want to go with them?" A bored question.

The person on the other side seemed to have no time to respond to this person, looking at the backs of the two who were going deeper into the jungle step by step, he said lightly: "It seems, what's wrong?" ”

After saying that, he went straight to the two of them.

"Isn't that right? What's wrong? You can make it clear, hey ............" Looking at the back of the North Stygian Ink without looking back, the flaming little heart was injured again: This ink, do you want to do it every time.

He threw away the branch in his hand sadly, and still followed with a fart.

As for why they are here, it is much simpler, one is to investigate the fact that people in the human world are constantly being killed, which has caused resentment in the underworld, and the other is to be curious about the so-called guardian saint of this Yu Dynasty.

Legend has it that the reason why the Yu Dynasty has existed for more than a thousand years and no one has broken through it so far is that the biggest credit comes from the institutions in the moat, as well as the phantom, the guardian god of the Yu Dynasty called by the Yu people.

Phantom is the most upright general of the Yu Dynasty. When the Yu Dynasty was first established, demons were rampant, and in order to protect the demons from invading the Yu Dynasty and harming its people, the Phantom went to the unknown realm of chaos alone.

The next day, a large area of deep forest suddenly appeared around the Yu Dynasty, and the king at that time also inexplicably decreed that all the people of the Yu Dynasty and no one should trespass into this forest, otherwise the whole family would be affected.

At that time, people could not understand this will, and no one could have imagined that there was another meaning.

Since then, no external threat has threatened the Yu Dynasty anymore, and they have discovered another very important problem, the phantom of the great general, whom they respect the most, has not appeared since the appearance of this forest.

After a long, long time, rumors began to circulate that the Phantom General made a deal with heaven and earth in order to protect the Yu Dynasty, and incarnated into this forest to protect the Yu Dynasty.

Another rumor has it that the Phantom General created the most sophisticated mechanism to install in this forest, and his own body transformed into this forest to protect everyone for the rest of his life.

Others claim to have seen apparitions near the woods.

Gradually, under the tempering of time, various versions emerged one after another, so the more and more gods were spread, and people slowly began to believe in these legends, and slowly regarded this forest as a moat, and the phantom as a guardian spirit.

Of course, there were also some people who did not believe that their respected general had left them like this, so they went to the moat to find out, but never came out again.

Some people say that the general took them under his command and guarded everyone together; Others say that because they went into the woods and trampled on the general's body, the heavens would punish them by imprisoning them in the depths of the jungle forever.

In short, for more than a thousand years, because of these things, coupled with the deterrence of that will, no one dared to trespass into this forest without permission.

Until today, the only one who can come and go freely here, except for the Northern Stygian and Fire, has not had a third person so far.

The deeper you go, the air is filled with a faint fragrance of flowers and a faint fragrance of plants and trees, which makes people can't tell what they taste, but they feel that the two aromas are converging and intertwined, which is fascinating, and I want to go deeper into the forest more and more.

"Mo, why do I start to think that something is wrong with that senior brother and sister?" Huo Lie said to himself, turning his head to look at Bei Mingmo and found that his brows had been slightly furrowed, although he had imprisoned his mana, he still faintly felt that something bad would happen.

Looking at the two people who kept walking forward, Bei Mingmo didn't have time to care about what Huo Lie said.

"Keep up," he said anxiously.

When the two men came to a rushing waterfall, they finally stopped, but they seemed to want to enter the waterfall.

However, just as the tall figure was about to leap into the rapids of the waterfall, the little figure next to him did not seem to obey the instructions like the previous marionette, and stretched out his hand to drag the people around him. Moreover, she seemed to be saying something in her mouth, but the distance was too far, and there was no divine power, and the fire could not be fully heard.

"Mo, what did she say?"

"Don't go in."

"Interesting, that Xue Ling is actually sober."

Bei Mingmo didn't have time to care about the words of the fire, just stared at the person in front of the waterfall. What the hell is going on? How could the two of them be controlled? Why did she suddenly sober up again? When I saw them about to jump in just now, I almost couldn't help but rush over, what was going on with me?

With a mind full of questions, Bei Mingmo had a feeling of being dozens of big for the first time.

At this time, the clear stream in front of him suddenly pushed away the snow spirit vigorously, so Bei Mingmo was inexplicably angry, and he didn't know what was going on in his heart, he actually rushed to the front of the waterfall and waved away the clear stream with one palm.

Wen Guxue, who reacted, looked at Qingjian who was unconscious on the ground and there was blood flowing from the corner of her mouth, and she panicked.

"Senior brother" She ran to Qingjian to check on his situation, and then said to Bei Mingmo: "Why did you beat my senior brother?"

Bei Mingmo clasped his hands around his chest and raised his head arrogantly: "Benjun just can't see a man bullying a woman." ”

"What? When did you see him bullying me," she said.

But in fact, she was grateful to him in her heart, after all, if he hadn't made such a fuss just now, the senior brother would have jumped into the waterfall long ago, and the blessing and misfortune would have been unpredictable. It's just that this person's method is a bit excessive, so that she feels sorry for her senior brother.

And Bei Mingmo on the side listened to Xue Ling's faint reproach, and thought: This woman who doesn't know what to do, Benjun saved you, just forget a word of thanks, and even complain about Benjun, it's really unreasonable.

Just when a certain Yan Jun was displeased, a bird's cry pierced the cold and quiet night, and countless crows flew out of the waterfall, one by one emitting a fluorescent glow. At the same time, the waterfall under the cliff is also flooded, spreading in all directions, as if it is about to submerge this place.
