Chapter 6: Ghosts
In the dense forest, among the rugged mountain roads, Zhou Luo was dressed in green clothes, carrying a long sword, and lazily half lying on the gray-haired tiger Dabai, who was three or four meters long, with a relaxed and comfortable expression.
He carried a verdant, misty jade gourd in his hand, and poured a few pieces of wine in the gourd into his mouth.
The wine poured out of this small blue-green gourd, which is less than the size of a palm, is obviously not an ordinary product, and the aroma of wine in the air is everywhere after every pour, exuding an ethereal spirit, as if you are in an ethereal heavenly realm, intoxicated.
Even the big white under Zhou Luo was so hungry by the abnormal aroma of wine in Zhou Luo's green gourd.
The big white nose let out a whimpering sound from time to time, and at the same time kept looking at Zhou Luo pitifully with its pair of bowl-sized tiger eyes, and the fat tiger buttocks were also shaking, obviously also being hungry by this aura-filled wine.
In the endless dense forest, the thick and continuous wide leaves on the thousand-year-old trees, like a giant umbrella holding the sky, cut off the drizzle falling from the sky, and only leaked a little cool and moist breeze over Zhou Luo's lazy face.
Zhou Luo closed his eyes slightly, rode a tiger through the forest, listened to the quiet around him, and the sound of splashing water on the rocks added to the tranquility of the dense forest, and his heart was unpleasant.
"Don't listen to the sound of the forest beating the leaves, why not chant and walk slowly. Bamboo cane shoes are lighter than horses, who is afraid? A cloud of smoke and rain is Ren Ping's life. ”
Zhou Luo happily let the drizzle in the sky pass through the thick and wide leaves above his head and brush his face, and looked at this pleasant forest scenery with his legs swaying, and felt poetic for a while, and couldn't help but recite a poem by Su Shi to express the happiness in his heart.
"Where are the horses? is clearly a tiger, but he is an illiterate master. ”
Zhou Luo gestured several times, but Da Bai, who still didn't get a glass of wine, muttered a few words of dissatisfaction, and was so angry that he patted the back of the big tiger under him with his hand a few times, and scolded in his mouth.
"What do you brute know? Childe, I'm borrowing the scenery to be lyrical, and you can also understand the affairs of cultural people? You're a lazy, you're all talking nonsense. ”
The big white under Zhou Luo snorted a few times dissatisfiedly, muttering that he also had to drink wine and eat meat, otherwise he would be weak and unable to walk.
"You lazy, you didn't behave like this when you said you wanted me to mount a few days ago, I knew you were such a lazy thing, I shouldn't have accepted your stupid thing, but I should have pulled out your tiger skin and made a tiger skin coat to wear."
"Hurry up, when you get out of this mountain, I will buy wine and drink with you, but you don't have to think about it for the time being."
Zhou Luo scolded and patted the lazy thing's ass under him, sighed, and made a promise to let it go faster.
If it weren't for the fact that Edgeworth's flight was too physically exhausting, and this fat tiger had extraordinary qualifications, he would have flown out of this dense forest quickly, as if he had only walked more than a thousand miles of mountain roads in almost four days now.
After walking the mountain road for a long time, the night gradually darkened again, although he was not afraid of the demons and evil people in the mountains, but Zhou Luo, who had been bumping around on the big tiger for a day, was not ready to continue to move forward.
He rolled over and got off the back of the big tiger, looking at the obviously sparse woods in front of him, twisting his face, even the unknown trees that were much younger, and planned to comfort his stomach.
Zhou Luo sat cross-legged in an unknown wildflower that was blooming luxuriantly, and used the flames to roast the mountain roe deer caught by the big tiger Xiaobai, and roasted it to a golden brown in a few breaths.
Da Bai stuck out his tongue, his nose twitched rapidly, and looked greedily at the golden roe deer meat in Zhou Luo's hand like a greedy dog, and when Zhou Luo just poured the honey and spices he took out of the package, it couldn't wait to bite it and swallow it into its stomach.
Zhou Luo tapped the dishonest big guy's head heavily with his fingers, warning it to follow the rules.
Da Bai rolled around on the mud floor angrily, scratching the thick black mud on the ground with his paws in boredom, and began to play tricks.
It wasn't until Zhou Luo had divided more than half of the roe deer meat into its mouth that it stopped the indiscriminate commotion, turned to eat with peace of mind, and became quiet again.
"Old fritter, I'm still a lazy thing, how can I have such a superb mount, hey."
Zhou Luo sat on the branch of a huge juniper tree, looked at the lazy Dabai under the tree, and sighed a little funny.
The night in the mountains and forests always comes extremely fast, and quietly, Zhou Luo just finished eating the roe deer meat in his hand, and the night has become extremely heavy.
In the trance-like mountains and forests, the cold mountain wind and the misty drizzle made the temperature in the mountains and forests much colder all of a sudden.
Zhou Luo waved his hand to condense a small light curtain, leaned his body on the body of the big tiger Xiaobai, and fell asleep leisurely.
At night, the mountains and forests are heavily shaded, the pines are solemn, the rocks are dull, and it is very cold.
The land around Zhou Luo was full of whispering insects and roaring nocturnal beasts, and the damp night was as thick as ink.
At the warm belly of the big tiger and the little white, Zhou Luo's face had a slight mocking sneer, as if he was waiting for something.
In the dark of night, on the mountainside of a desolate hill less than five miles away from Zhou Luo, a pair of scarlet lantern big ghost eyes suddenly lit up in a gloomy stone cave that had long been covered by overgrown weeds and thick bushes.
At the moment when the scarlet ghost eyes lit up, this deep and dark cave** suddenly blew a biting wind with a strange wail, and all the living creatures within a radius of a hundred meters of this cave were also robbed of all their vitality in an instant, which was very weird and evil.
The deep cave ** The yin wind whistled by, and the scarlet ghost eyes with the size of the lantern seemed to be able to see Zhou Luo's every move clearly from a distance of several miles, and it looked at Zhou Luo's deeper and deeper sleep and became more and more restless, as if it was about to break out of the hole at any time.
But even if his heart was already restless, this old and refined thousand-year-old ghost was still not manipulated by his emotions.
He had already learned to restrain the greed and distractions in his heart at critical times, and at the same time, he had learned the truth of Gou Dao, even in the face of such a seemingly excellent sneak attack opportunity, it still honestly continued to wait for most of the hour.
It wasn't until the time passed little by little, and it was late at night, and the night was already extremely deep, and the starlight in the sky had lost its color and brightness under the thick clouds, that it broke out of the hole and floated towards Zhou Luo.
