Chapter 121: Huang Yuting Appears
Surrounded by thick fog, there was silence all around.
It's quiet, so quiet that you can hear your own heartbeat.
The ghost boy disappeared, and there was no movement from the mountain whip.
It is not known if it has burrowed into the whip, or if it has been devoured by the spirit bird before entering the whip.
When I opened my eyes, I saw a large field of colorful birds perched on top of the bulging roots of the trees around me.
They tilted their heads and didn't move.
At first glance, it looks like a patch of colorful flowers blooming, but when you look closely, you find that those smart eyes are staring at you without blinking.
Their eyes are so insightful that I feel like I'm seeing through them.
It was as if I didn't have any clothes on, which was weird and even embarrassing.
"Gollum ......"
Seeing the countless spirit birds surrounding me, I swallowed a mouthful of saliva with difficulty, a little panicked and uneasy.
Half way through the ring, the spirit birds were still staring at me.
It's horrible!
My mind was blank, and I didn't walk away with a whip in my hand, nor did I stand still.
"Ahem!"
I coughed lightly twice to scare them away, but they didn't move at all and didn't make a sound.
It's strange that they didn't attack me.
It seems that these things only appeared for the ghost boys, they just fell from the sky, could it be that they were all perched on the giant tree before?
To avoid misunderstanding, I put away the whip and carried it behind my back.
Sure enough, the eyes of those spirit birds moved with the mountain whip.
In an instant, I understood what was going on.
These birds are weird, and the reason why they appeared in the deep valley before is probably because there are countless unjust souls in that place, and they are extremely aggressive towards soul yin qi and the like.
They seem to be the embodiment of justice, not the so-called undead birds.
To be exact, they should be nemesis like the Shade.
And now, the reason why they are staring at me is probably because they are suspicious of me, but they are not sure. After all, I am a living dead person, and after swallowing the Yin Pill, there is endless Yin Qi stagnation in my body.
At the thought of this, my heart was at ease.
At this moment, the sound of flapping wings was heard again overhead, and a spirit bird that looked more handsome than other spirit birds hovered over my head, and finally stopped directly on my shoulder.
I was stunned for a moment, and then immediately recognized that this bird was the one I had encountered in the deep valley.
Cuckoo...... Cuckoo......
This spirit bird screamed, its temperament was extraordinary, and it tilted its head to look at the countless spirit birds around it, as if it was giving orders, which was amazing.
It should be the leader of this group of spirit birds, just like the Ghost Face Crab King I saw before.
Sure enough, the surrounding spirit birds, which had not moved, heard its call, and immediately flapped their wings and took off, penetrated into the dense fog, and disappeared.
I tilted my head sideways to look at the strange spirit bird, remembering that when I was in the deep valley, I slapped it to the ground.
Now, this little thing must be angry and deliberately invited a group of men to intimidate me, right?
I shook my head, feeling that this idea was ridiculous, considering that there was a bird in front of me, how could it have such a high level of intelligence? Not to mention being angry like a little girl.
But right now, that's how it feels to me.
Cuckoo! Cuckoo......
The spirit bird chirps as if it wants to say something to me, but I'm not an animal expert and can't speak birdly at all.
Fluttering ......
Eventually, the bird flew away, pierced through the fog, and disappeared.
Watching it fly away, I was stunned for a while before I woke up, took the mountain whip and felt it carefully, and found that the ghost boy was still inside, and he was not completely destroyed.
It's just that it's too weak to release it again and take me through the clouds.
What's more, I don't dare to summon it out now.
After that delay just now, the sky became darker and darker, and the temperature became colder and colder.
The rain and mist soaked my clothes, and the wetness clung to my skin, oozing the wounds on my body and making it very uncomfortable.
Worst of all, the only remaining flashlight actually broke down and could no longer be used.
Seeing that the sky is dark, there is no difference between rushing in this complex terrain and looking for death without lighting tools.
In desperation, I had to take advantage of the faint light to find a relatively safe and secure small arch hole nearby, and hide in it for a while.
By the end of the day, it was completely dark.
Although the rain outside was not heavy, the wind was fierce and cold, raging everywhere, blowing the surrounding tree holes and wooden bars trembling and whirring.
At first glance, it sounds like countless evil spirits roaring in your ears, which is very penetrating.
I cowered in a corner, feeling lonely and helpless for the first time, like a person abandoned by the world, at a loss and at a loss.
I lit a cigarette, used the smoke to dispel the cold and some pain in my body, and ate some dry food to satisfy my hunger.
Calculating the time, almost five days have passed since Lao Fei and Yan Xiaoying entered here from Shuanglong Cave.
But until now, I don't say that I have found Jingmei, and I have not even found a trace of her, which is bitter and cannot be described in words.
What the hell happened to her?
It stands to reason that this is her territory, and if she is here, she should be the first to sense it.
The jade pendant was broken, could it be that she really had an accident?
Could it be that I started from the fork in Shuanglong Cave, and I made the wrong choice, the fork in the cold and cold air is where Jingmei really is?
I even have some doubts that everything I experienced after entering the cave was my own hallucination, otherwise how to explain how this strange secret realm came to be?
Such a large tree is not at all in line with common sense and beyond the scope of cognition.
The ghost boy was attacked by the spirit bird and was seriously injured, and I tried to communicate with it, but no response was received for any call, as if it was falling asleep.
Outside, the cold wind was howling and incessant, and cold raindrops were dripping down through the cracks in the roots of the trees overhead, and it was unbearable to fall on the body.
I was going to make a fire to keep warm, but the dead wood and roots around me were so wet that I couldn't light it at all.
In the harsh environment, my body was even worse, and the pain was unbearable.
In the second half of the night, the rain didn't fall heavily, but it showed no signs of stopping.
I curled up in a ball, my eyelids became heavier and heavier under the devastation of my spirit, but the pain was faint, stimulating my nerves all the time, and it was difficult to really close my eyes and rest.
It was so tormenting that I fell asleep before I knew it.
This night, I slept very uncomfortably, because I always felt as if something was pressing on me.
What's even more terrifying is that in the end, my consciousness was completely awakened, but I couldn't open my eyes.
It's like what people often call a ghost press.
After struggling for about ten minutes, I was finally able to hook my fingers, and then suddenly woke up.
When he opened his eyes, he saw a fire burning faintly in front of him, and by the light of the fire, he could see a person sitting next to the campfire.
It was a woman.
She has long black hair, delicate facial features, her clothes are stained with water, and she is close to her skin, outlining a perfectly curved figure, although it is not as good as Jingmei, but it is not much different.
"Huang Yuting!"
My eyes widened and I exclaimed, I never imagined that I would see her again under such circumstances.
It's incredible.
I can't believe that she has been missing for a long time, when I went to the room where she disappeared and speculated with Li Guodong that something mysterious might have happened to her, and she was finally abducted by an inexplicable creature.
And Li Guodong took the people from the Heavenly Master's Mansion into the Shuanglong Cave this time, and he also used this as an excuse to suspect that there were demons and evil spirits on the Heavenly Mountain.
Although I suspected that she might have entered the Double Dragon Cave, I never imagined that we would meet in this situation.
She didn't look much different now, except that her face was paler and her clothes were more tattered, at least not as embarrassed as I was.
"You ......"
I moved my body and was about to ask a question when I suddenly felt something strange in my body.
Looking down, the whole person was stunned again, because I found the wound on my body, and I didn't know when it was bandaged with a strip of cloth.
The bandaging is very careful, and it is also covered with an herb that smells bad.
I frowned, I had slept too deeply, and someone had bandaged my wounds, but I didn't even notice it.
"You were badly injured and then had a high fever and had slept for a day and a night." Huang Yuting spoke, staring at me with a faint gaze, and spoke.
"I've been asleep for so long? How does it feel like it's only been a while? ”
I was surprised in my heart, looked at Huang Yuting and frowned and asked, "You...... How could it be here? Before...... What the hell is going on? Why did you suddenly disappear? ”
Huang Yuting looked at me and didn't answer for a long time, and finally walked in front of me, leaned down, sighed faintly, and said softly: "Tianyan, did you risk your life to come here to find her?" ”
Instead of answering my question, she asked me this question.
I was full of doubts, and was silent for a while, and finally replied, "Yes, I ......"
"Do you really like her?"
Before I finished my sentence, Huang Yuting suddenly asked again.
I shuddered in my heart, feeling that she was a little inexplicable and a little embarrassed at the same time that she was asking this question. Because of the person in front of me, she was the person I loved the most after all, and I had spent a long time with her romantic, warm, but innocent.
For a moment, I didn't know how to answer, and I didn't understand why she was asking.
Seeing that I was silent, she suddenly smiled, her eyes gentle.
"You are still the same as before, you have not changed, for some people, some things, on the surface pretending to be ruthless, but in the heart you still can't completely let go."
Huang Yuting stared at me without blinking, and said faintly: "I have said before that a character like you can't do big things, you can only be mediocre all your life, and sometimes you are not ruthless enough, which is a manifestation of cowardice." After all these years, you haven't changed at all. ”
My heart sank, I looked at Huang Yuting in front of me, and said coldly: "You suddenly appeared, what are you telling me all this for?" Who are you? ”
