Tang Sanqing was kidnapped by a group of ants.

It was a colony of black ants, smaller about the size of her feet, larger about half her size, mostly dark brown to black, with gray to violet bellies and long, coarse hairs.

Most of the black ants are just ordinary ants and can't speak human language, but a few of them have been practicing for many years, are big and can speak official language, and belong to the leadership in the ant colony.

She was bitten on the arm by a black ant, and the black ant's teeth had nerve-paralyzing venom and she couldn't move, so she was carried back to the nest by several black ants.

The little black ants are very industrious, have a clear division of labor, and do their own things, and none of them are idle. If it weren't for the kidnapping state, Tang Sanqing might have been able to observe them more leisurely.

But now, Tang Sanqing thought worriedly, and he didn't know if Sun Shengyin and the others would find out that they had been arrested.

The burrow built by the black ants is built under the roots of a tree, and on the outside is a very small hole, and it is almost impossible to spot it from a human perspective.

There are also seven, seven, eight and eight small caves in the cave, some of which are granaries for grain, some are shelters, and some are specially used for the big black ants of the leadership.

And Tang Sanqing was alone in the cave, there were two little black ants at the door, she tried to talk to them, but they couldn't understand, and they used their tentacles to communicate with each other.

After a while, a big black ant that could speak official language finally came, it stretched out its two long tentacles, trembled, and the two little black ants walked away.

"My lord, you are the famous Lord Tang Sanqing in the two worlds of demons, your reputation has long been across the ocean, and everyone in the world knows it, and no demon knows it."

The voice of this big black ant is a little strange, although it speaks the language of people, but it has the unique dialect charm of this area, and it seems that it usually stays in places where humans gather.

Tang Sanqing and an ant started a conversation, it was a strange feeling, it would be even better if the giant ant in front of her didn't plan to eat her.

"When did you first find me?"

"Our black ant race is all over the world, and there is news that comes much faster than other youkai. To tell you the truth, we know everything that happened to you in the Tibetan country of Us. I've been lurking around you for a long time, and I didn't have a chance to invite you to our lair until today. ”

The black ant carries human etiquette and humility in every word, and the irony is that the "please" in its mouth is coercion.

"It's useless for you to arrest me, I am now in the body of a lotus root, I can't live forever if I eat it, and my companions will never let you go."

The big black ant immediately lowered its tentacles in a panic, bent its twelve limbs, and lay on the ground, looking terrified.

"My lord, you really misunderstood, it was the little ones who offended you, but the situation was urgent at the time, and it was really forced to make this decision, I hope you will forgive me."

At this time, the two little black ants who had just left came back, and brought the fruits that they had picked out of nowhere, red and sweet.

It's eating that causes her to be locked up here now, and no matter how delicious this fruit is, she doesn't dare to be greedy anymore.

"Since you don't want to eat me, then let me go, keep me locked up, what are you doing?"

"That's not good, you're our honored guest, and your Majesty hasn't seen you yet."

The big black ant respectfully blessed himself like a human and left, and the two little black ants were still guarding the door.

I don't know why Her Majesty the Queen said in the mouth of the big black ant wanted to see him, not to eat him, why would she look for her?

In the cave, I don't know how much time has passed, Tang San was drowsy, until there was a movement, she opened her eyes, and she was instantly sleepy.

It was a black ant larger than the large black ant, brightly colored, with thick limbs, bright and dark eyes, and purple and red fur on its belly.

Tang Sanqing curled up a little frightened, this special black ant didn't know how long it had been there, and secretly looked at her while she was sleeping.

"You, don't be afraid, I won't hurt you, I just saw that you were so beautiful when you fell asleep, I couldn't bear to wake you up."

The voice of this black ant is a little sharper, which is very different from the voice of the big black ant, and it seems to be a unique voice of a female.

"You are the ...... of their mouths Her Majesty? ”

Tang Sanqing asked hesitantly, it seemed that in a group of ants, the female was king.

"Yes, I'm the queen." The tentacles of this black ant circled, it seemed to be a little proud, its voice was seductive, and at the same time, a sweet breath diffused in the cave, "Master Sanqing, my name is Xuanqing, I have admired your demeanor for a long time, the monsters in this world always covet your body, but I am not, I ...... when I first saw you"

Xuan Qing gradually fell into the memories, and her thoughts were like falling leaves, swirling, falling into the river of time, floating to the past.

About 500 years ago, it was just an ordinary black ant that had not been humanized, and compared to humans, the ant's meager strength was completely extreme. People often pinch an ant to describe how easy it is to do something, so the life of an ant is probably cheaper than any living creature in the world.

Carefully absorbing a little bit of food from nature, carefully avoiding human life, ants are hard-working, and never complain about any injustice to the heavens.

At that time, the Tibetan country of Wusi was completely different from now, there was no grass, no grains were harvested, no green and yellow crops were harvested, demons were haunted, and human beings were struggling to survive in order to survive, not to mention their insignificant little creatures.

Because there was no food, when the grass roots and bark were wiped out, many people began to search for anthill hives in large numbers, and the ant tribe in Wusi Tibet suffered the disaster of extinction and was almost wiped out.

On that day, he and his companions went to the quicksand river to find food, which was a demon river that could not even float goose feathers, and in which countless cold bones were buried, and countless demons and evil spirits were sealed.

It saw a scavenging figure standing by the river, but it didn't pay much attention to it until it and its companions were surrounded by two children, who wanted to fill them with bottles.

The bottle contained many of their companions, and it could hear that some of them were alive and dying, and some were lifeless.

The two human children were sallow-faced, emaciated, skinny, and could understand that in order to survive, they had to choose to kill, and they had to be executioners.

It understands the principle of natural selection and survival of the fittest, but it is still resentful in his heart, why does God want them to become weak and powerless ants?

Anyone can step on them, and anyone can easily pinch them to death.

However, it is so small that even the heavens cannot hear such an inscrutable whisper.

As it gave up struggling, the two children were already reaching out to pinch their weak bodies, and just then, he appeared.

He is Tang Sanzang, Tang Sanqing, but he is not them......

He reached out and took the wrists of the two children, and at that moment, for the first time in their eyes, they saw a warm light.

Ants are almost blind, their eyes can see the simple shape of some foreign objects, as long as they exceed a dozen centimeters, they can see nothing.

So they are always on a rampage, relying on courage and perseverance to move forward, and only the man in front of him has stepped in to protect them.

He was shrouded in a dazzling light, it was invisible, only warm around him.

His voice was as warm as his temperament, moisturizing things silently, and he said, "Amitabha, every living being is equal, the essence of life is equal, and all can become Buddhas. You will be hungry, and they will be hungry; You will hurt, and they will hurt; You want to be happy, and they want to be happy. The Buddha said that there is no difference in the inherent wisdom of all living beings, and that the awareness of spiritual awareness is exactly the same. So, let it go, only in the end all life is to respect yourself......"

He was so awkward and cumbersome that he couldn't understand it, but the two children withdrew, and there was an inexplicable convincing power in him.

In the end, he gave all his bags and food to the two children, and when the children left, he walked in the direction of the quicksand river.

For some reason, it followed him all the time, but it was just a small ant, and he never noticed it.

Until he walked into the quicksand river, the raging water immediately annihilated his figure, leaving nothing behind, except for it, no one knew that the river had buried a living person.

Lost and dejected, it returned to the cave, its small mind kept thinking about what he had said, but no matter how much it thought about it, it could not understand his words in its head.

So, the tasks assigned to it were treated, because the distraction was always slow to complete, and the companions began to criticize it.

However, it has been thinking, every day only thinking about survival, is that the meaning of their ants' life?

If only that man were still alive, and he could hear these strange things from him again.

In this way, thinking about these strange things every day, time passed slowly, and the ant clan suffered many casualties every day, but they also multiplied quickly. Many of its companions who were born at the same time as it are growing old one after another, some of them die unexpectedly, and some of them die of natural causes.

But time seems to have stopped on it, and decades have passed, and it is still the same, and the quicksand river has never changed.

On an ordinary day, after saving it, the man who died before entering the quicksand river reappeared.

It had a good memory, and he was the same as he was after decades, so it was instantly recognizable......
