Chapter 2 First Encounter in the Woods
The sky was dark, the sky was sparsely starry, the earth was pitch black, and a black cat in the dense forest struggled to run, its eyes glowing with green light, looking ahead. Behind it, there were countless black shadows shuttling around, and the speed was extremely fast.
There are so many lonely souls and wild ghosts in this deep mountain that they block its way one by one. The black cat has been running for a long time, and it is also a little physically exhausted. A moment later it took on the form of a woman, sweating profusely, her cheeks slightly red, and still running. A soft light of bright yellow faintly appeared in the dark mountain forest, enveloping a small area of woods. The civet looked at the light suspiciously, and the ghost sent the god to run towards it, and in a few steps he stepped into the bright yellow. Behind him, the lonely ghosts retreated like smoke.
Suddenly, I saw a man holding a white lantern with a bright yellow light. He was slender, dressed in a black cloak and a white jade pendant faintly visible around his waist. His face was amazingly handsome, and his eyes were as tepid as the sky of June. It seems like I've seen it somewhere, and it's like I've never seen it before. His whole person is like a painting, not colorful, but fascinating. There was an indescribable indifferent look between his eyebrows and eyes, as if he was alienated from people thousands of miles away in an instant. The civet has never learned the tactful words of this world, and I don't know how to use words to describe this kind of handsomeness.
The bony civet looked stunned, forgot to take his steps, and immediately pounced on the man, the man staggered two steps, but did not stabilize his footsteps. The two of them fell to the ground together, and the lantern fell to the ground.
The bone civet elbow pressed against the man's chest, and the man's face was magnified in front of the bone civet in this way, which instantly made the bone civet forget to get up, and he was already stunned.
The man glanced at her coldly, but there was a hint of blush on his cheeks, and said lightly, "Get up." ”
The civet came back to her senses, and the man's words seemed to force herself with an invisible sense of oppression, and she quickly got up.
The man then got up calmly, took off the cloak he was wearing, and instantly wrapped the body of the bony civet* tightly. He picked up the lantern on the ground, and looked sideways at the civet cat, so late at night, a woman was alone in the deep mountains, her hair was dirty, and the smell was unpleasant, and the man couldn't help but wonder.
"Who are you?" asked the civet as he tightened his cloak.
The man's eyebrows were raised slightly, and he said indifferently, "I should ask you this sentence." ”
The bony civet looked at the man in a daze, silent.
The man didn't look at the civet cat, his cheeks flushed, he turned away, and then he didn't pay attention to the civet cat, and walked forward.
Seeing him go, the civet cat also took a few steps forward, and suddenly stepped on a hard object. She looked down and saw that it seemed to be the jade pendant on the man's waist, she bent down to pick it up, patted the soil on the jade pendant, took the jade pendant in her hand, and caught up with the man.
"How did you go?" asked the civet as he followed.
The man ignored it and continued to walk with the lantern in his hand, unhurried.
"Hey, why don't you speak. The civet cat got a little impatient and continued to follow the man.
The man did not answer, and the civet cat continued to follow him for a long time.
What a woman, how can she be so shameless?
The man was aloof and detached. Seeing that he ignored him for a long time, the bone civet was displeased.
After a long time, the bone civet finally couldn't help but say quietly, "If you don't talk to me, then don't regret it." The man suddenly stopped.
"Don't follow me. The man's back was to the bone, his voice was cold, but there was a strong sense of oppression.
Follow him, the Bone Raccoon just wanted to see when he would find out that his jade pendant was gone, and since he didn't want it, forget it. The civet suddenly laughed, jumped onto a tree trunk, and threw a sentence at the man, "Childe doesn't want a jade pendant, then I will treat it as a gift from Childe." He turned and flew away from the trunk of the tree and disappeared without a trace.
When the man heard this, he put his hand on his waist, and there was nothing, and then he looked back, and there was still a woman behind him. His hand holding the lantern tightened, but his expression did not change much, it was still the same cold expression, as if it was none of his business. He turned around and walked into the depths of the mountain.
In the middle of the night, the stars hung high in the sky.
Deep in the mountains, a man stood on the edge of a deep pool, the water of the pool was more transparent and clear in the dark night, and the stars in the sky were reflected in the pool. The man was dressed in a purple robe, and his eyes were slender, and he looked a little sinister and cunning.
Seeing another man, dressed in black, carrying a lantern approaching the edge of the pool, he was handsome and astonished.
When the man in purple saw the visitor, he was stunned for a moment, and then he half-knelt down and saluted, "See the king." ”
"No courtesy. The man silently glanced at the man in purple, and his tone was indifferent.
"It is a great honor for the king to meet the grass people here. Han Zhongyuan got up and made a gesture, his voice yin and yang.
Ying Zheng looked at the pond, didn't look at the man in purple, and asked, "Yin and Yang family, what are your plans for this move?" The voice was cold and empty, without a hint of doubt, as if he had already known it.
Han Zhongyuan replied, "Now that the world is dominated by the Qin State, in this huge world, only the Qin State is needed by the Yin and Yang Family, and the king also needs a good friend like the Yin and Yang Family, Your Majesty, what I said can be described as the truth?" Han Zhongyuan's eyes were cunning, like a fox.
The facts are the facts, but they are rhetorical questions about Yingzheng, and Han Zhongyuan's tone is arrogant that cannot be concealed.
Ying Zheng didn't answer Han Zhongyuan's words, but said indifferently, "It is said that the left protector of the Yin and Yang family is a talented young man, and what he said is true." ”
The degree of this Han Zhongyuan's insidious cunning is really not to be underestimated.
When Han Zhongyuan heard this, he looked a little surprised, raised his head slightly, and a slight smile hung on the corner of his mouth. It was a small action, but Ying Zheng saw it in his eyes.
But he is also a complacent person, and he looks sideways. He said lightly, "This Qin State is now occupied by Prime Minister Lu Cheng, and the protector can find Prime Minister Lu Cheng to marry, what does it mean to ask such a person who has no real power to come to this deep mountain?"
When Han Zhongyuan heard this, he pretended to be frightened and said, "I'm really scared, the king succeeded to the throne at the age of thirteen, and it has been six years now. After he finished speaking, he pointed to the water in this deep pool, which clearly reflected the stardust, and said, "The astrology of the Yin and Yang family looks at the brightest stars in the Qin Kingdom, not on the side of Prime Minister Lu Cheng. Han Zhongyuan paused for a moment and said, "Now, not only our Yin and Yang family needs the Qin State, but the world also needs the Qin State. "It's still a sinister and cunning look.
The world needs the Qin State. Although these words are not fully enlightened, they are no different from Taoism. Both of them knew the ambition contained in those words, and they understood what they each needed.
Ying Zheng looked at the pool, silent and unaware of his emotions. The evening breeze gently blows the water in the pool, setting off ripples, and the stars on the water surface loom brightly.
Another part of the mountains.
The civet walked to a stream, she found a tree and sat down, took out the jade pendant from her sleeve and looked at it, the moonlight illuminated the jade pendant crystal clear, and the jade was engraved with a word, but the civet could not read, she was illiterate.
This jade pendant didn't seem to be of much use in her hand. But why did she run away with the jade pendant, most likely because she saw that the man ignored her, so she wanted to give him a little revenge.
She held the jade pendant and looked at it for a long time, suddenly felt bored, and waved it aside. Yu Pei lay quietly on the side, and suddenly saw a hand pick it up, the knuckles were slender, and the skin was like congealed fat. When the civet raised his eyes, he saw a woman, dressed in a cyan brocade dress, with a playful little face accompanied by a smile, it was Xiaotang.
There are three blue birds under the seat of the Queen Mother of the West, all of which are three-legged sacred birds, and Xiaotang is one of them.
When the bone civet saw that it was Xiaotang, he was surprised and delighted. "Xiaotang, why are you here?"
Xiaotang looked at the bone civet and said with a little reproachful eyes, "Raccoon dog, why are you so stupid, why did you steal the elixir of the Queen Mother of the West?"
The civet cat lowered its head and looked at its bare, dirty feet, and did not answer.
Seeing that the civet was silent, Xiaotang had no choice but to sigh helplessly and said, "Tanuki, do stupid things for a day. ”
The civet finally looked up at Xiaotang and spoke, with tears in his eyes, "But Xiaotang, I also want to become a human, the Queen Mother of the West said that I am a kitten picked up from the mortal world, so I can only be a cat for the rest of my life, but I don't want to." If you want to bring me back to Heaven to the Queen Mother of the West, I won't run away. ”
Xiaotang looked at the civet with red eyes, she has known the civet for three hundred years, when she cultivated into a human form, although the civet cat can speak, but it is still a cat, the Queen Mother of the West said that the civet cat is a mortal thing, and it can't be cultivated in the heavenly court, and it can't be turned into a human.
Xiaotang shook his head and said, "Tanuki, no, I'm just here to see if you're doing well, I'll never tell anyone about you." ”
The cuvet looked moved, and looked at Xiaotang with teary eyes, Xiaotang is the best person in the heavenly court for himself.
Xiaotang looked at her and sighed lightly, "It's okay if you're not hurt." ”
Xiaotang remembered that she was still holding a jade pendant in her hand, she looked at the bone civet and asked, "Tanuki, this jade pendant is not yours, how did you get it?" ”
The bony civet stammered and said, "Pick it up." ”
Xiaotang sighed, looking at the stammering appearance of the bone civet, knowing that it must not have been picked up, she stuffed the jade pendant to the bone civet and said, "The word on this is the word "government", you want to return the thing to the original owner." ”
The bone civet looked at Xiaotang in a daze, and repeated "political ......" in his mouth
Then Xiaotang took out a red rope from his sleeve, and the red rope was wrapped with a white fang. Gardenia squatted down, brushed up the bony civet's hand, and wrapped her wrist around her. She said, "This is the tooth of a dragon, but you can hide the fairy energy on your body, don't stay in the mountains in the future, blend into the world, and it will be difficult for others to find you." I'm here to help you. ”
The civet looked at the fangs on her wrist, and there was still a little joy in her heart, if this was the case, she could go to the mortal world to have a good time.
The bone civet turned to wonder and asked, "But this thing, Xiaotang, where did you get it?"
Xiaotang said of course, "Of course it was stolen, how can I have this thing." ”
The bone civet looked at Xiaotang with a touched face and said, "I didn't expect Xiaotang, you to steal the things of the Queen Mother of the West for me." ”
"The Queen Mother of the West doesn't have this either. ”
"Whose thing is this?" asked the bonecat, shaking the fangs on his hand.
"The second son of the Yu clan, Gardenia, is approaching the second son's birthday in recent days, and the Queen Mother of the West sent me to send a congratulatory gift to the second son, and the second son happened to be absent, so I took a chance.
The second son of the Yu clan is elegant and gentle, but he is already a celestial but a celestial man, and the civet is just a mortal kitten, and he has never seen what he looks like.
The civet looked moved, Xiaotang did not hesitate to take risks to help himself, and he didn't know how to repay Xiaotang. "Xiaotang, thank you. ”
Xiaotang looked at the moving eyes of the bone civet, smiled and said, "I think you have the crime of stealing the elixir, it doesn't hurt to have one more, don't thank you, these things are all recorded on your head, the advantage is that you hide the fairy energy, and the disadvantage is that you have to guard against those birds, I am a spirit animal under the seat of the Queen Mother of the West, naturally I don't obey the orders of the Yu clan, don't guard against me." I've heard that these fangs are very important to Gardenia. ”
The bone civet's expression froze, and his heart was cold, did Xiaotang really come to help him? Now not only the elite soldiers of the Heavenly Court, the demons and monsters, but even the Yu clan are coming to find him, where should he go?
Xiao Tang ignored the expression of the bone civet, and couldn't help but smile, "I've been out for too long, I'm afraid it will make the Queen Mother of the West suspicious." I'm glad I brought you some clothes, otherwise you'd be naked, no, and the clothes are here. You go to the world to find a place to live, and I will come back to you later. ”
Xiaotang put down his clothes, and then flew away against the wind, leaving the bony civet to sit alone by the tree.
The tanuki sat for a moment and then got up.
It's useless to think about anything, so let's just take a shower here.
