"The reason why it's called soul branding is because of its third eye." On the way to the territory of the wolf pack, Torlie explained to the torture technique and Lian Jiuqi, "The old man of the tribe said that the third eye is the soul of the wolf spirit, which was branded by the god of nature with the heavenly fire, so it is called the soul brand. ”

After listening to the torture, he asked, "Brother Torlie, the prophet we learned about in the Golden Eagle Tribe and the nature gods worshiped by your tribe should be regarded as a person, right?" ”

When Torlie shook his head, Angu, who had been silent, finally spoke: "Yes, it's a person, but the pronunciation is different, if you write from the ancient Khitan language, the writing of the god of nature and the prophet is exactly the same, the Golden Eagle tribe because it is in the deep mountains, has no scruples, and basically does not meet foreigners, so there is no change in the title of the prophet, and the Ural Khan tribe is different, they wander in the steppe, worried that calling the prophet's name will bring unnecessary trouble." ”

Torture nodded, and whispered to himself, "Prophet, nature god, snowstorm......"

Lian Jiuqi immediately asked, "What are you muttering about?" ”

Xingshu raised his eyes and said: "It's nothing, I still think that all the problems are in the cast iron immortal, there is no doubt, whether it is Yelubei or the prophet, the god of nature, all the important people known are related to him, and also, in the Golden Eagle Tribe, we have also heard that the prophet has three abilities, the first is to be able to see through people's hearts, the second is to heal all life and death, make people come back from the dead, and can turn iron into gold." ”

Ma Fei asked next to him, "What does it mean to heal all life and death?" Sounds like a sick sentence, right? ”

Mo Duqiao said: "Maybe it means that it can cure all diseases, Angu, is that what you mean?" ”

Angu said: "Almost, my master said that when the mountain riders met the prophet, many of them were sick and injured, and the prophet just touched their bodies with his hands and made them heal. ”

Maffei exclaimed, "This prophet is almost a god......"

Hearing Ma Fei say this, the torture technique suddenly stopped, everyone looked at him, and the torture technique said: "You guys think backwards, what is Qimen?" ”

Everyone shook their heads, and looked at Lian Jiuqi: "Mr. Lian, you have a lot of experience, you have followed the Cusco Company for so many years, what do you think, what is Qimen?" Is it just a treasure full of gold, silver and jewelry? ”

"No, it's not that simple, the name of Qimen comes from strange goods, and the legend is full of rare treasures in the world." Lian Jiuqi frowned and said, "But what is the definition of the so-called rare treasure?" Let's put it this way, according to the definition of a strange product, the soul brand is even a strange product, and the Soul Sealing Knife is also a strange thing, broadly speaking, it is a very rare thing with its own legend and story, and it also has a certain special effect. ”

After speaking, Lian Jiuqi took out a piece of jade from his belt: "Do you think there is anything strange about this jade piece?" ”

Ma Fei picked it up, looked at it carefully, and then handed it to Mo Dui Bridge, who glanced at it, smiled and gave it to Angu, who shook his head and handed it to Torlie, and finally came to the hands of the torture technique.

Xingshu looked at the jade piece that was inconspicuous at all, shook his head and said: "It's just a very ordinary jade piece, it looks like it fell from other jade objects, and the original broken edge has been polished and rounded because of time, so it can't be judged from the port what object it fell from." ”

Lian Jiuqi asked, "What about the texture?" ”

Xingshu looked at it carefully: "I can't see it, I only know that it's jadeite, but this kind of thing is a big deal in the antique market." ”

"Yes, it's ordinary, it's worthless, but to me, it's a wonder." Lian Jiuqi smiled, pointed to the jade tablet in his hand and said, "This is the first time my wife and I went to the market, she exchanged it for an industrial voucher that was very precious at the time, yes, she was deceived, she thought it was a good thing, she thought that after giving it to me, I would be very happy." ”

Xingshu looked at the jade piece in his hand and understood the meaning of Lian Jiuqi's words.

Lian Jiuqi took back the jade piece: "In the era of planned economy, what does the industrial coupon represent, maybe you don't know too well, I can only say that it is very precious, you can exchange an industrial coupon for a ton of jade that is nothing, but the reason why she was fooled is because she knows what I do, she wants to try her best to cater to me, make me happy, and shorten the distance between me and her." It's like you don't understand perfume and spend dozens of dollars to buy a fake bottle of Chanel and give it to your girlfriend, you're just making her happy, that's all. ”

Speaking of this, Lian Jiuqi deliberately glanced at Ma Fei.

"So, I didn't blame her, I just told her, don't go to the stall to buy these things in the future, although an industrial voucher is precious, but for two people who want to stay together for a lifetime, it is nothing, and this piece of jade itself has no value, but it contains her affection for me." Lian Jiuqi pinched the jade piece in his hand, "So, this jade piece is a strange thing, torture, do you understand?" This is what Master used to say to us, there are only relative absolutes in the world, and there are no absolute absolutes, there are no absolute odd goods, only relative strange goods. ”

Xingshu nodded and said, "Mr. Lian, I understand what you mean." ”

Lian Jiuqi smiled and patted the shoulder of the torture technique, and at this moment, Di Lie in the distance ran over and said to Torlie: "Big brother, there is a wolf drink in front." ”

Torret immediately led the group towards the small hill where Gu Lie was, and then lined up, lying on the small hillside, looking at the spring below the depression that kept gushing out.

The so-called wolf drink, is the wolf pack to drink water, generally speaking, this kind of place is near the habitat of the wolf pack, not too far, and usually flowing water, or a large lake, which will make the wolf pack feel safe, only the lone wolf out of the wolf pack will choose to drink in the puddle of water.

Gu Lie lay on the ground and looked at the spring: "The wolves will come three times a day, and the time is almost the same as the time when we eat, but only at noon, the wolves will bring the young wolves to come, and the wolves with the soul are very strange, their female wolves will not take the young wolves away from the wolves." ”

Torreen calculated and asked, "After so many years, there should be a lot of children in the soul brand, right?" ”

Di Lie's face became ugly: "Yes, a lot, as for how many, you will know for yourself when you see it." ”

At noon, when the sun climbed above everyone's heads, five pitch-black wolves appeared on the opposite hillside, at this time, Torrei took it in his mouth with his fingers, raised his fingers to identify the direction of the downwind, and then touched the torture technique, and whispered: "Let the person on your right retreat down the hillside, move ten meters to the right, and then go up the hillside." ”

Torri did this to keep everyone in the upper hand of the wolves at all times, so that the wolves would not smell them, and of course, they had to constantly move their positions with the direction of the wind, after all, the wolves would try to find ways to keep themselves in the lower wind, but fortunately, once the wolves entered the depression, the situation would improve.

After the five black wolves patrolled around the depression, one of them quickly ran towards the rear, and soon, the black wolf appeared again, and behind the black wolf there were at least fifty or sixty wolves of different appearances, and when those wolves approached the edge of the depression, Torri was directly dumbfounded, because most of those wolves were golden-eyed wolves, and their size was at least twice as large as ordinary wolves.

"These ......," Torret retracted down the hillside, gasping for air, "these are wolf herders?" The wolf pack of soul branding is not a wolf pack at all, but a group of wolf herds, how can this be? ”

Di Lie, whose face was pale, also slipped down and said in a low voice: "That's why, the leader has made us keep an eye on the soul brand for so many years, and you will see a scene that will surprise you even more later." ”

Torret climbed up again, and this time he was greeted by a group of huge shepherd dogs, about twenty of them, all of whom looked to be old, and slowly entered the depression under the protection of the other wolf herders, lying on their stomachs by the spring and drinking water.

Torrei was so surprised that he couldn't say a word, and at this moment, a white wolf with what could be said to be a huge figure appeared at the top of the hillside opposite the depression, followed by two other white wolves with smaller stature, but similar in appearance.

The three white wolves stood there, scanning their surroundings with wary eyes.

"Soul branding!" Torret almost stood up, but was grabbed by Dilie and Gulie on either side of him and pressed down.

Xingshu and the others looked at the white wolf intently, and felt that standing at the foot of the grassland hillside, with the blue sky and white clouds above their heads, and facing the noon sun, the soul brand was simply a painting—how could there be such a beautiful and majestic creature in the world?

Torret finally knew what Soul Brand had done all these years, not only did it collect the other wolves, but it also managed to get back a large number of sheepdogs, so that the wolves could mate with the sheepdogs, give birth to more wolf herders, and become a unique wolf herding group on the grassland.

Why would Soul Brand do this? Was it because its parents were bitten to death by a sheepdog? From the previous wolves protecting the shepherd dogs to drink, it can be judged that the soul brand must have been haunted by the events of the past, so that it ordered the tribe to spare no effort to protect its wives and mothers, and it is no wonder that the size and appearance of those wolves are very different from ordinary wolves.

After climbing a rock, Soul Brand looked down at the depression spring below, and the two white wolves behind him turned and ran towards the grassland, and soon disappeared from the field of vision of the torture art and others.

The torture technique slipped down and asked Torreux, "What now?" ”

Torrei shook his head: "I don't know, and I don't know if Soul Brand still knows me." ”

Lian Jiuqi saw Di Lie and Gu Lie become nervous, and looked at the grasslands on their left and right respectively, both holding the long knives and bows and arrows in their hands, as if something would appear there.

Finally, Di Lie and Gu Lie jumped up, dragged the others down the hillside, and said in a low voice, "Hurry up!" Come on! We were discovered! ”

Angu didn't know why, so he hurriedly asked, "What did we find?" ”

"Wolves! Come on! When Di Lie dragged Angu back, as soon as everyone raised their eyes, they saw that the two white wolves who had originally followed the soul brand around them didn't know when they actually went around behind them, one left and one right in an attacking posture and looked at them viciously, and let out a fierce "whine" sound from their mouths.

"It's over." Di Lie trembled, subconsciously raised his bow and arrow, at this moment, Ma Fei and Mo Dui Bridge behind him noticed a movement on the hillside, turned around suddenly, and saw a black wolf appear on the hillside where they were lying before, and while the black wolf looked down on them, other wolf herds appeared on his left and right sides in an instant.

Immediately afterwards, the left and right sides of Xingshu and the others were also surrounded and killed by other wolf herdsmen.

Murwilight pulled the bolt of the gun and aimed it at the wolf herd behind him, his face becoming extremely ugly, they knew very well that even if each of them had an automatic weapon in their hands, in this form, the probability of total annihilation was ninety-nine percent.

"It's dead this time." Gu Lie gritted his teeth and said, "I can only fight, at least I can die with dignity!" ”

Di Lie nodded, aiming at one of the white wolves, but Torri held his hand: "Don't move, don't move, listen to me, you gather together, hide behind me." ”

After saying that, Torret had everyone gather back to back, while he stood on the periphery and shouted, "Soul branding! I'm Torre, I've come for you, Soulbrand—"

Torreux shouted for a long time, and everyone saw the soul brand appear on the hillside in the distance, and looked at Torreux intently for a long time, and then slowly walked along the back of the hillside.

Torrei looked at Soul Brand and said, "Soul Brand, do you still know me?" I'm Torre, I'm your brother! ”

Soul Brand didn't react, just trotted slowly behind the wolves, raising his eyes from time to time to look at the anxious Torre, and after he walked around the periphery four or five times, he finally stopped, got out of the middle of the bodies of the two wolf herds, and slowly approached Torre.

Torret squatted down, as he had done on the day he found out that Soul Brand's parents had been killed many years ago, stretched out his hand, and whispered, "Soul Brand, it's me, I'm Torre, I'm your brother, I'm back." ”

Soul Brand vigilantly approached Torreo and sniffed Torlie's hand, and at this moment, the torturer and the others felt that their breathing and heartbeat had stopped at the same time, and they stiffened as they looked at this scene that they didn't know what the outcome would be.

Soulburn's nose moved from the back of Torri's hand to his wrist and then slowly to his chest, before backing away.

Torrei was a little anxious, and took a step and said, "Soul branding, you don't know me anymore?" It's me! ”

As soon as he finished speaking, the soul brand suddenly became fierce and roared at Torlie, and after this sound, the other wolves also let out a roar, and they all took two steps forward, and the torture and others immediately became nervous and raised the weapons in their hands.

"Soul brand—" Torreux became more anxious, but didn't flinch.

Soul Brand looked straight into Torre's eyes, and suddenly he stared at Torre, rushed forward, pounced directly at Torre, and then opened his mouth to bite Torre's throat.

Seeing that the situation was not good, Lian Jiuqi, who was closest to Torre, raised the knife in his hand, and stabbed it towards the top of the head of the soul brand, as soon as he stabbed down, Torrei actually raised his hand directly to grab the blade of Lian Jiuqi, when the blood dripped down his fingers, the soul brand that was originally biting his throat also raised his head, looked at Torre's hand that grabbed the blade, and then looked down at Torlie, and then made a move that shocked everyone - Soul Burn took a step forward and roared at Lian Jiuqi, forcing Lian Jiuqi to take the knife out of his hand, He began to lick the blade wound in Torre's palm.

Torre's tears slid down his eyes, and he hugged Soul Brand: "Soul Brand, I know that you recognize me, I know, I know that my brother will not forget me!" ”

At this time, the soul brand also made a mournful sound like a puppy, and squirmed in Torre's arms like a coquettish, but because of the size of the volume, Torri directly arched to the ground.

The surrounding wolves also sat down one after another, put away their fierce expressions, and tilted their heads to look at this warm scene.

"It's okay, it should be okay, right?" Although he said this, he still kept asking Di Lie and Gu Lie.

Di Lie and Gu Lie were already stupid, slumped on the ground, swallowing saliva, gasping for breath like everyone else, completely unable to believe that they were still alive.

Even Jiuqi was even more afraid, if his previous stab really fell, even if he killed the soul brand that might bite Torree, he would be torn to pieces by the angry wolves in the next few seconds.

In the evening, Soul Branding and the others returned to the habitat of the wolves, at the foot of a small mountain range, where there were dozens of caves of different sizes, and from the traces around those caves, it could be seen that these caves were dug out by wolves with their claws, just like caves inhabited by humans.

Torture looked at the caves in amazement: "Are these wolves or people?" ”

Lian Jiuqi said beside him: "This soul brand is simply a wolf spirit, and they are about to become immortals, I have traveled so many places in the world, and it is the first time I have seen such an orderly wolf pack." ”

Wolves were seen all over the mountain, most of them patrolling in groups of two, some on high places, some in the shadows, and some on higher posts farther away. The shepherd dog outside the cave was playing with the surviving wolf herds, and several of them also ran towards Maffei, bumping into Maffei's feet, constantly scraping Maffei's heels with their paws, as if they were not afraid of people at all.

What's even more bizarre is that everyone also saw that at the mouth of a large cave, Torret was talking to Soul Brand, who had been lying beside Torre, like an extremely docile pet dog, and from time to time he looked up at Torre, as if he could understand every word he said.

Xingshu looked at Di Lie beside him and said, "It seems that Soul Brand has completely learned the composition of the Ural Khan tribe, and also learned your living habits, and merged into the wolves. ”

Di Lie nodded: "Yes, we have known this for a long time, and this is also the reason why the leader has been worried all along, the soul brand is too unlike a wolf." ”

Mo Duqiao raised his head and fell to the ground: "Tonight, none of us have to be on duty at night, we can sleep until we wake up naturally." ”

Lian Jiuqi looked at Angu and Ma Fei, who were playing with the little wolf herd in the distance, and then turned his gaze to Torree and Soul Brand in the cave: "I just don't know, tomorrow morning, Soul Brand will follow us into the mountain." 2k reading network
