Chapter 7: The First Encounter in the Red Forest (6)
"During the pre-Qin period, the Central Plains was in turmoil, and some refugees fled here, including the ancestor of the Yue family, that is, Yue Honglin, the first generation of the Yue family. He had no father or mother, he had been living on the streets since he was a child, and he fled with the crowd to get here, but he broke into the red leaf forest, which the locals avoided very much."
He looked at the sky, then at Yue Yue, and pulled her to the side in the shade of the tree and motioned for her to sit down.
"The locals say that this forest is a cannibal, and no one has ever come out when they go in. But the ancestor Yue Honglin was young at the time, how could he believe this, he insisted on going in to find out.
But when he entered the forest, he found that it was not an ordinary forest, and the trees seemed to move, and he was completely lost.
He walked and walked and walked for seven days, and he was already hungry, but suddenly he saw a man appear in front of him, coming out of the fog. He thought he was dead, and when he saw the gods, he knelt down and kowtowed.
The man stretched out his fingers and grabbed his head! As he spoke, he opened his five fingers and closed them fiercely.
Pinching your head?
Yue Yue thought to herself, Holy Lord?
It's scary to think about it now.
I only heard Yue Ling continue, "According to the records of the ancestors, at that moment, he saw the ups and downs of life, the end and change of time, the secret understanding in the ancient legends, and the countless nodes and changes in the past and the future......
Yue Ling paused for a moment and continued: "In the next few years, a mansion appeared on the edge of the red leaf forest, called the Red Forest Garden, which was only the size of an ordinary house at first, and then it became bigger and bigger.
People know that the owner of this garden is named Yue Honglin, who seems to be a dignitary who fled to the capital, but this is just a folk rumor.
The truth is that the ancestors worshipped the man as a god and promised him to live here for generations to protect this red-leaf forest from outsiders.
And the ancestor had no name and no surname and asked that person to give him a name, and that person only said 'Ten thousand years of bright moon, eternal red forest'
So the ancestors took the homonym and named it Yue Honglin."
"And the person that the ancestors met is the Holy Lord you see, who has existed in this world for thousands of years.
As far as I know, he is an ancient god and holds a holy order, but I only know what this holy order does, and I only know that it is related to the soul demon of the same period as him, and this soul demon is recorded in the stone room, you can see it yourself. ”
Yue Yue listened attentively, but she didn't believe what Yue Ling said at all, just like listening to a story, how could this fabulous thing happen?
You have to find a better reason to stay if you lie to yourself!
But judging from the strangeness revealed by this forest, there were many unexplainable mysteries, and it seemed that more and more questions were gushing out of her mind.
"Let's go, let's go eat" Yue Ling stood up and stretched out his hand to Yue Yue.
After a while, the two of them returned to the white-walled house with reclining chairs that Yue Yue had just come out of, and when they approached the wall with a secret door, the secret door actually opened, and there was a person standing inside, it was Li Lot!
Yue Yue thought that the person in front of her was said to be a god, and he was still a thousand-year-old immortal, she didn't believe in such a thing from her subconscious, she felt that his brother had lied to her, and she had colluded with them!
I don't know where I got the courage or brain convulsions, I actually shouted to the people inside the door, "Uncle Li!" ”。
As soon as he finished speaking, Yue Yue felt his hair stand on end.
I haven't figured out the situation yet, there are many strange things in this world, and there are countless things that can't be explained, how can I be sure that this thing is not true?
How can we be sure that there is no God in this world that has existed for tens of thousands of years?
And I don't know what the origin of this person in front of me is, so I just make a fool like a joke, what will be the end?
If he was real, would he destroy the entire Yue family in one go?
When the time comes, not only yourself, but also your clansmen?
Probably not! She thought that if it was really a god, she would not be so stingy!
If not, if she lied to her, she could take her group of younger brothers to play with these people, and the preview of the start of the game was this sentence "Uncle Li".
She was thinking about it, but she felt a tremor come from where Yue Ling was holding her hand.
Oops, seeing Yue Ling scared like this, could it be true that what he just said? Could it be that Li Zhu is really a god as Yue Ling said?
That's the end, I can be regarded as gambling on the street and blocking the whole family! Yue Yue thought and looked at Yue Ling beside him.
But what Yue Yue can't forget in his life is that Yue Ling is afraid! Yue Ling was obviously holding back a smile, and his body would tremble!
Yue Yue saw that Yue Ling's face was flushed, and he couldn't breathe, looking uncomfortable and funny.
In Yue Yue's impression, Yue Ling had never had such an expression, and even smiling was rare.
Yue Ling is eight years older than Yue Yue, Yue Yue has seen his brother since he was a child, he is a serious and unsmiling person, and the occasional smile is just a slight increase in the corners of his mouth, smiling like this, Yue Yue really has never seen or thought about it.
But just when Yue Yue wondered, was the uncle she called so funny.
I saw Yue Ling let go of her hand and knelt down towards Li Qian with a plop!
Immediately, Yue Yue noticed that the expression on Yue Ling's face just now was gone, replaced by an indescribable expression, containing extreme humility and respect, mixed with the kind of determination to die if he made a mistake.
Yue Yue was stunned for a moment, and he didn't know what to do next.
Suddenly, Yue Ling's voice sounded, "Yue Yue is not sensible, Holy Lord, I'm sorry."
Yue Yue immediately turned his head to look at Li Qi, only to see that there was still no trace of waves on his face, and his lips moved "It's okay"
Then it seemed that he was about to say something, but he didn't say anything, just turned around and went down the stone steps.
Yue Yue didn't expect it to be like this at all, according to the assumption just now, if Li Qian was an immortal, then Yue Ling, who respected him very much, would laugh like this?
But if not, then how can Yue Ling's series of actions and the expression on his face that can't be pretended to be at all explained?
"Brother," she pushed Yue Ling, who was still kneeling on the ground
"He's gone" said and pulled Yue Ling's clothes up, Yue Ling didn't hesitate, he stood up directly with this force, breathed a long sigh of relief, and walked directly down the stone steps without looking at Yue Yue.
Yue Yue was stunned for a moment, and then followed.
Yue Ling took out the fire fold he was carrying and blew it and handed it to Yue Yue, leading Yue Yue to one of the forks she saw when she came out.
"I'm hungry, let's go eat," he said, took Yue Yue's hand again, and walked inside.
Not surprisingly, this road is full of white marble, and the gold edges inlaid in it reflect the golden dazzling light when they encounter the firelight, and Yue Yue's eyes are hazy.
After walking a distance of about thirty zhang, Yue Yue saw a white light in front of her, she thought that there was another exit to the ground here, so she excitedly ran in front of Yue Ling and leaned towards the light source.
But when she got closer, she was stupid, it was still a stone room, and there was no door.
From here, there is a carefully carved black stone table, surrounded by stone benches of the same type.
Yue Yue walked in, and it was not surprising that this stone room was full of white marble, but there was no gold trim decoration.
But when Yue Yue saw it clearly, her eyes were about to pop out, and she saw that inside the stone walls of white marble around her, there were large and small glowing white jade pieces inlaid one by one.
It is the kind of fluorite mineral that can be polished into a night pearl, because the surface impurities have been cleaned up, it looks like there is no flaw at all, and it is integrated with the wall of white marble.
And the stone table placed in the middle was a zhang long and wide, and looking at the material, it was the same as the black wall that Yue Yue saw in the forest!
Yue Yue took a closer look, and saw that the wide table top was carved with five dragons intertwined, and in the middle, there was also a gray-white box-like thing, but this table was too big, no matter where Yue Yue was standing, he couldn't reach the box in the middle.
At this time, Yue Ling pressed a glowing place next to the wall, and then he heard a sound of "click, click, click".
Then, on one side of the wall, something like a drawer protruded.
Yue Yue walked over to take a look and found that there was a plate of vegetables and a bowl of rice in the drawer.
"This is what Uncle Yue Zhendong brings to 'sacrifice the dragon' every day"
Yue Yue was shocked again.
Uncle Yue Zhendong, Yue Yue knows this person, although he doesn't know if he is the son of his grandfather's son or the son of his grandfather's grandson, I don't know which generation he is a relative, anyway, he is a member of the Yue family.
And everyone knows it, not because he did anything terrible, but because this uncle was born only to stir-fry, and his mind is not very clear, and he often says things that have no origin.
For example, this "sacrificial dragon", since ten years ago, he insisted on serving one meal and one dish three times a day, and sometimes even brought a plate of pastries, to the east of the Yue family, which was very close to where he lived, and put all the things he brought under a maple tree.
The strange thing is that every time he puts something is gone, the next time it comes, and when he goes to deliver it the next morning, there are empty plates with food three times the day before.
Yue Zhendong said, "There is a dragon in the east, and all three meals must be sacrificed."
Ten years, at the beginning, everyone didn't care so much, because he was crazy all the year round and didn't care about him.
Later, he heard from an outsider that he saw three sets of dishes coming out of the ground!
He walked over to check and found no dirt on the dishes, and he began to think that he had mistaken it.
But that day, he specially followed behind Yue Zhendong, watching him put the dishes under the tree, when Yue Zhendong turned around and walked back, he hid in the grass, but after Yue Zhendong walked away, he poked his head out again, but saw that the dishes he had just put down were all gone!
He ran over to check it, but saw that there was not a trace on the ground.
He thought that this was the land lord begging for food, and finally bowed three times and left.
The Yue family was accustomed to it, and they didn't care about him, and no one discussed and investigated this trivial matter again.
"This is for Yue Ronglei." Yue Ling spoke.
"What?" Yue Yue then thought that Yue Zhendong had persisted in "sacrificing the dragon" for ten years, and Yue Zhendong had entered the red leaf forest for ten years, could it be that Yue Zhendong would send food to Yue Zhenlei in this way every day?
Yue Zhenlei has eaten the food cooked by Yue Zhendong for ten years!
