Huaye Mountain.

A chubby bird, jumping on the ground, and every time it landed, the moss on the ground splashed with water.

Chen Beibei didn't know what kind of bird it was, when Chen Beibei walked past the bird.

The fat bird glanced up at Chen Beibei, and then continued to peck at the plant seeds on the ground with his head down.

"Aren't the birds here afraid of humans?"

Chen Beibei looked at the owner of the sea square and asked him.

"There is no need for birds to be afraid of humans in the first place, it's just that humans make birds afraid."

The owner replied.

The people in the Huaye Mountains probably won't disturb the lives of these birds.

For thousands of years.

If this is the case, perhaps the birds have become defenseless against humans.

Chen Beibei's mind came up with the road leading to Huaye Mountain.

The cement on the highway has been made into cement blocks piece by piece, and the road is completely impossible to walk.

"The people here are destroying that road just so that no one else can come here, right?"

Chen Beibei asked.

"That's right."

The owner replied.

In this way, Chen Beibei has gradually understood that the people living on this mountain probably have a set of rules that belong to them.

They don't let outsiders leak the situation here, presumably so that no one else can break these rules of life. And the people who live in the mountains of Huaye are all the statements of some people who escape from life, and I am afraid that it is also the news that these people deliberately let out.

This makes normal people have a bad impression of Huaye Mountain.

There won't be too many people here.

What's more, looking at the driver's fear of Huaye Mountain, there must be many other bad rumors about Huaye Mountain from the outside world.

Chen Beibei and they walked in the Huaye Mountains for a long time, but they still didn't see anyone.

This made Chen Beibei very uncomfortable.

After all.

Chen Beibei They have been walking for so long, and they finally arrived here, and now they haven't even seen a single figure.

"That woman won't lie to us, will she?"

Chen Beibei said with some discouragement.

Seeing that the sun was about to set, if no one could be found, Chen Beibei and they would have to spend the night outside again.

It was already cold last night, if today is the same as yesterday. Chen Beibei didn't know if he could bear it.

"Probably not."

The dog god looked at Chen Beibei and said slowly.

There seems to be no need to deceive this kind of thing. There should be, and do, many people live in the mountains of Huaye.

"I see, those people must be deliberately avoiding us!"

Chen Beibei suddenly figured it out.

Apparently.

If those people don't show up, then there's only one possibility.

As soon as Chen Beibei said this, he began to look around carefully.

Suddenly!

A certain bush moved!

Chen Beibei hurriedly ran over and picked up the leaves, but it turned out to be just a gray rabbit.

Looking at the rabbit in front of him, Chen Beibei couldn't help but fall into silence.

Just when Chen Beibei was in a daze, the rabbit suddenly pulled out its legs and began to run away, and Chen Beibei hurriedly opened his spiritual eye.

This time.

Chen Beibei decided...... Decided not to sleep out anymore!

"Inujin, catch that rabbit for me!" Chen Beibei looked at the dog god and shouted to him, "That rabbit is a monster!" ”

As soon as Chen Beibei's words fell, the dog god rushed forward with a brisk step. Chen Beibei didn't see it clearly, the rabbit was already pinched in the hands of the dog god.

The dog god pinched the rabbit's ears, and the rabbit kept struggling in the hands of the dog god.

Chen Beibei saw that the rabbit's body exuded a faint white gas.

It's the aura of a youkai!

However, the original form of this monster is just a rabbit. It has not yet passed the metamorphosis stage.

"Master, that's not a youkai. This should just be the mountain lord who gave the rabbit aura. ”

The owner of the sea said.

Looking at the rabbit in the hands of the dog god, Chen Beibei had indeed sensed the strangeness of this rabbit.

Other youkai.

The aura emanating from the rabbit's body is connected to the earth. It's as if there is a rope that comes out of the earth and attaches to the rabbit's body.

As soon as the sea owner finished speaking, the spiritual energy silk thread that connected the earth disappeared.

And the rabbit has become an ordinary rabbit.

"Inujin, let it go. It was really just a normal rabbit. ”

Chen Beibei looked at the dog god and said to him.

Chen Beibei couldn't help but feel a little deflated, and finally thought that he had caught a monster. You can ask for directions or something. It turned out to be just an ordinary rabbit controlled by the mountain owner.

"It seems that as soon as we entered the mountain, the mountain lord had already paid attention to us."

The owner of the sea said.

"Is there any way to get the mountain lord out?"

Chen Beibei looked at the owner of the sea square and asked him. At this time, Chen Beibei didn't want to meet the mountain master, but wanted to find Gao Jin as soon as possible, so that he might be able to barely get together one night at Gao Jin's house. At least a place to shelter from the wind and cold.

If you sleep in this mountain for a night.

Chen Beibei didn't dare to imagine whether he would freeze to death.

"There used to be a secret technique to call the mountain lord, but this is not something that ordinary people can learn. I'm just a monk who doesn't practice deeply, so naturally I don't have the opportunity to learn this kind of profound secret art. ”

The owner of the sea square looked at Chen Beibei and said slowly.

Now Chen Beibei can only pin his hopes on the dog god's keen sense of smell.

Of course.

There is also the mountain owner who took the initiative to appear......

……

Night.

The sky was completely dark, and the stars could be seen through the dense branches of the trees.

Chen Beibei was already on the verge of despair.

"Master, it's already night, and there's no way to continue looking for it."

Inugami said.

At night, the forest is pitch black, and only a few stars can spill into the forest through the cracks in the branches of the trees.

In this case, if you keep looking. It's easy to run into wild animals in the forest, as well as poisonous insects and the like. The beast is easy to deal with, after all, there is a dog god by his side.

There is no way to prevent poisonous insects and the like. Chen Beibei's body can't withstand these things.

"Hmm. In that case, let's make a fire and sleep. ”

Chen Beibei looked at the dog god and said helplessly.

At this time.

That's all there is to it.

The dog god went to pick up some dry firewood, and Chen Beibei took out a lighter and lit the fire.

The moment the fire is lit.

Chen Beibei felt a cool breeze blowing behind him, and the fire was extinguished.

A faint cloud of green smoke drifted into the air.

When Chen Beibei continued to touch the lighter, he suddenly found that a pair of feet appeared in front of him.

Chen Beibei's gaze slowly moved up along his feet.

Feet, knees, waist......

It's a woman!

With a slender figure, like a willow, when Chen Beibei wanted to see the appearance of this woman, what he saw was a blank piece of paper.

On the woman's face, there was a blank piece of paper. However, there is a kind smiling face drawn on the paper.

See a scene like this.

Chen Beibei couldn't help but be startled, although the smiling face on the paper was kind.

This kind of false thing is also frightening.

"Follow me......"

The woman's voice rang out, softly.

After the woman finished speaking, she raised her feet and walked deeper into the deep forest, and Chen Beibei and the dog god also followed closely behind the woman. When the woman walks, her gait is light, like an elf.

Chen Beibei and they followed behind the woman and kept walking.

When women walk, they often pick some difficult places to walk, which gives people the feeling that it is still very uncomfortable.

"Are you afraid that we will remember these paths?"

Chen Beibei looked at the woman and asked her.

The woman didn't respond, and continued to move forward at the same pace and route as before.

Even if the woman didn't answer, Chen Beibei himself had already determined this.

The woman waited until after dark before appearing in front of Chen Beibei and them to show them the way. When I walk, I always pick some strange routes to walk.

This approach is obviously because Chen Beibei is afraid that they will remember the route.

Chen Beibei and the dog god didn't pay attention to the surrounding routes, because in this way, they could reach their destination as soon as possible.

The owner of the sea said that the lord of the mountain is a kind of god. In this mountain, everything belongs to him. Maybe...... This also includes Chen Beibei's thoughts.

Really.

Chen Beibei and the others deliberately did not pay attention to the route, and soon arrived at their destination.

It is a stone cave.

"If you're afraid of the cold, you can spend the night here. I'll be here tomorrow morning. ”

After the woman finished speaking, she turned around and left.

Chen Beibei stretched out his hand and touched the rock walls on the stone cave, which were all warm.

No wonder.

It's going to be so warm inside this cave.

"Why do you want to help us?"

Chen Beibei asked.

The woman paused for a moment, but still did not answer Chen Beibei's question.

The woman walked out of the cave and disappeared in a blink of an eye.

……

"Shouldn't this be controlled by the mountain master?"

Chen Beibei looked at the owner of the sea square and asked him.

"It's not."

The owner replied.

Chen Beibei thought back to the words and deeds of the woman just now, and it was indeed similar to that of ordinary humans.

But.

Compared to ordinary humans, the woman appeared more pure.

Or rather, "nature".

It was a rhythm that was very harmonious with the mountain, as if the woman was a part of the mountain.

"That woman must be a human living in this mountain."

The owner of the sea said slowly.

Chen Beibei's hand caressed the rock wall, quietly feeling the temperature of the rock wall, "Are you human......

They didn't continue to speak.

Chen Beibei is still very curious about that woman. The woman was obviously wary of Chen Beibei and them. However, when he saw Chen Beibei and them spending the night in the forest, he took the initiative to take Chen Beibei and them to this strange stone cave.

Thus.

That woman was only wary of Chen Beibei, but there was no hostility.

Chen Beibei kept thinking about some things about this mountain in his mind.

Soon fell asleep.

In the dream, Chen Beibei saw a very fat green bird and kept looking at him. On the bird's head, there were a few small green grasses. The eyes of the fat bird are like a pool of spring water in a deep pool, deep and tranquil......

……

"Wake up...... Wake up......"

The woman's voice sounded, and Chen Beibei opened his eyes and saw a woman with a blank paper on her face.

The white paper covered the woman's entire face, and she couldn't see the woman's appearance at all.

"What are you doing here?"

The woman asked, sitting on the stone.

The woman's eyes were also covered by white paper, and she didn't know how the woman saw the road. Could it be that these roads are already familiar to me?

"There's a man named Gao Jin here, right? We're here to find him. ”

Chen Beibei replied.

At this time, Chen Beibei could only pin his hopes on this mysterious woman.

The expression drawn on the woman's white paper is still a smile.

I guess I want to show my kindness.

"None of the people in this mountain have names, so if you're looking for someone, then please come back."

The woman's tone was soft, but there was a hint of coldness.

"I'm his friend, and his family is worried about him, that's why I came to him."

Chen Beibei said.

"There's no high level here, and everyone who comes here has already lost their name. If he wants to go back, he will. Go ye, you are not welcome in this mountain. The woman got up and gently patted the dust on her skirt, "There are youkai on this mountain, if you stay for a long time, you will be eaten by youkai." But no one cares about you! ”

After the woman finished speaking, she disappeared directly into a dense forest of vines.

Chen Beibei and the dog god had to sit in place, not knowing what to do.

In the mountains.

Chen Beibei didn't dare to directly ask the dog god to stop the woman.

If a conflict breaks out, the rest of the people on this mountain will definitely be unanimous.

"Master, what now?"

The dog god looked at Chen Beibei and asked him.

"Let's continue to look for Gaojin. It seems that the people here are very special, and Gao Jin should have come here voluntarily. ”

Chen Beibei said.

Thinking that Gao Jin came here voluntarily, Chen Beibei didn't want to continue looking.

But.

Thinking of the flower and bird rolls, Chen Beibei still decided to give it a try.

"If we don't find it before dark, let's go back."

Chen Beibei said.

The lush woods are full of birds and beasts that walk and fly in the forest.

The ground is covered with fluffy moss and lichen.

The whole forest, even in winter, is still alive.

Humans live here.

Maybe.

Just like the other animals in this mountain. There are no names, and there are no advanced tools.

Just living the purest life.

You don't have to live day to day, and you don't have to be burdened with all kinds of complicated social relationships.

Chen Beibei didn't know if this was correct.

"Master Haifang, what do you think of these humans living in the mountains, how about this way?"

Chen Beibei looked at the owner of the sea and asked him for advice.

The owner of the sea is still a monk, and there should be some differences in the perspective of looking at the problem.

"As long as they do it voluntarily, then it's no different from humans living in cities. After all, everyone has what they get, and they also let go. ”。

The owner replied.

What the owner of the sea said is indeed very reasonable. Chen Beibei no longer struggles with these issues.
