Chapter 46: The Man Without a Soul

No wonder Senior Brother Dashan will not see each other for a long time during the New Year, it turns out that his hometown is here, I wonder why he didn't go home to see this time, Uncle Qingcang said: "Your senior brother has no relatives at home, and he went back to see the villagers in the village during the New Year, and he will go back once after we collect medicine this time." ”

After saying a few words, Senior Brother Dashan had already lit the torch, and the flames and smoke quickly dispersed the wild bees, and then he leaned against the cliff wall, gently cut a piece of honeycomb down, put it in his bag, and climbed down.

Lin Yue was happy, and when he came down, he asked mischievously: "Senior brother, are you a monkey, you are so powerful." ”

Senior Brother Dashan blushed and didn't speak, but handed us the honeycomb stained with honey.

The first feeling in the mouth is sweet, and there is a fragrance after a taste, this wild honey is really a good thing, Uncle Qingcang looked at the two of us lovingly: "Don't eat them all, it's easy to be thirsty if you eat too much." ”

I raised the honey in my hand and asked him, "Uncle, do you want to eat it?" ”

"I'm an adult, you can eat by yourself." Uncle Qingcang smiled and said.

Lin Yuexue and I obediently handed it to Senior Brother Dashan, but he was coquettish if he didn't eat it, so he had to take a piece and eat it.

It was a short break, and then we continued our journey to collect medicine, and there was no trace of a fight until one o'clock in the afternoon, Uncle Qingcang said: "We have gone far enough, and if we go any further, we can't rush back before dark, so turn around and go back now." ”

We had to go back the same way, and there was no more looking for herbs on the way, so we went back quickly, and when we arrived at the camp to relight the fire and cook, Uncle Qingcang began to sort out the herbs we had collected.

I was in charge of helping out, and my uncle told me about the efficacy and usage of each herb while sorting it out, and I listened carefully and memorized it in my heart, which made him feel very happy, and told me a lot about the habits of herbal medicine.

I'm not tired today, so Lin Yue is very active, helping Senior Brother Dashan to do this and that, and when it was time to go to bed at night, I secretly whispered in her ear: "Do you like Senior Brother Dashan?" ”

Lin Yue immediately pinched me, and I couldn't see her face in the dark, but my voice heard a shy ask, "Don't you talk nonsense, okay?" ”

I smiled and didn't ask anything more, turned to get ready for bed, only to hear a "click" from behind the tent, like the sound of wood being trampled on.

I immediately turned over and sat up, pulled Lin Yue, and she asked me a little confused what was wrong.

I whispered, "There's someone out there." ”

Before I could continue, Uncle Qingcang smiled outside: "Who is your friend, why don't you show up to meet you?" ”

Lin Yue and I hurriedly unzipped the tent and walked out, and through the light from the fire, we saw five young men with swords surrounding us.

The dim light of the fire shone on the faces of those people, and it seemed that their faces were cloudy, and Uncle Qingcang then asked, "It seems that you are actually from the passage, it is difficult for you to be a disciple of the Cloud Gate?" ”

No one spoke, and all five of them stared at us, not knowing what they were thinking.

Uncle Qingcang's face suddenly changed, and he said to us: "Be careful, these people are on the road!" ”

As soon as the words fell, the five people raised their swords in their hands at the same time and were about to attack us, and I immediately threw two thunder talismans at the guy closest to me, and the two lightning bolts scattered the man's hair, his face was scorched, and he fell to the ground with a scream and rolled his eyes.

It's that easy? I subconsciously looked at my hand, looked back at Lin Yue, and found that she was also surprised, the peachwood sword in her hand pulled away a long sword that stabbed at her, and slapped it on the person's face, making a snapping sound.

That guy also fell down with one blow, and the remaining three were also subdued by Uncle Qingcang and Senior Brother Dashan in the flash of light.

We all felt very puzzled, and didn't understand how it was so easy to subdue the five people, until Uncle Qingcang bent down to check it out before he said to us: "These five people have no soul, and they are almost the same as walking corpses, only instinct remains." ”

"Can you live without a soul?" Lin Yue asked in surprise.

"Not long to live, I wonder what happened to them? How did it come to be like this? Uncle Qingcang thought with a frown.

Senior Brother Dashan found that one of them had no hands, and he knew that these people were what we were looking for, but he didn't expect them to become like this now.

After thinking for a while, Uncle Qingcang had confirmed their identity as Yunmen through the mark on their swords, and then said to Senior Brother Dashan: "You will go down the mountain early tomorrow morning, go to the village and call Yunmen, we can't interfere too much in this matter, and if we have notified it, we will be considered to have fulfilled our obligations as fellow Taoists." ”

Senior Brother Dashan nodded in agreement, and Lin Yue asked, "Uncle, what about these people?" ”

"In order to prevent them from making trouble again, let's tie them up first, and if the people of Cloud Gate have time, it will be good to hand them over before they die." Uncle Qingcang said.

So we passed and worked together to tie up all five of them who had fainted and put them next to the fire.

Because of this matter, we were not sleepy, sitting by the fire and discussing the next trip, Uncle Qingcang now retreated, and decided not to go to the mountain again, and we will go down the mountain immediately after the people from Yunmen come.

"The trees want to be quiet and the wind doesn't stop." Uncle Qingcang sighed and said after arranging.

Lin Yue and I didn't understand what was going on, we looked at him together, and Uncle Qingcang continued: "There seem to be a lot of supernatural events this year, just take this time into the mountain as an example, I have encountered it twice, in previous years, I went to this Kunlun Mountain to collect medicine, and I have not encountered it once." ”

"Twice?" Lin Yue didn't understand, so I hurriedly told her what happened the night before, and then said to Uncle Qingcang: "What happened the night before was because of my relationship, right?" We can't get along. ”

Uncle Qingcang shook his head: "No, even if your yin qi is easy to attract evil spirits, but it will not be so frequent, I always faintly feel that the world seems to be chaotic." ”

"Wouldn't it? Could it be that there are demons who want to do big things? Lin Yue asked.

Uncle Qingcang shook his head and said: "It's just a feeling, I can't say for sure, but it's a pity that the master and his old man don't know where he has gone, otherwise he should know by watching the sky at night." ”

Lin Yue was surprised: "Huh? Do you still have a master? ”

We are all speechless together, whose ability is natural? Of course, there will be a master, but I've never heard Uncle Qingcang mention it.

Uncle just said casually, and didn't talk about his master, just let us go back to the tent to rest, because Senior Brother Dashan is going to be in a hurry tomorrow, so he can only come alone tonight.

I couldn't fall asleep tossing and turning in the tent, and after Lin Yue fell asleep, I quietly got out of the tent and sat down next to Uncle Qingcang.

He turned his head to look at me and smiled, "Can't sleep?" ”

"Hmm." I nodded.

"Isn't it...... Missed your mom? Uncle Qingcang hesitated and said.

I shook my head, "Mom must be very happy with Dad, otherwise why wouldn't she come back to me." ”

"Well, maybe they all have their own troubles, right?" Uncle Qingcang sighed and said.

I looked up at him, not understanding the meaning of this, so he had to continue: "Actually, I have never given up helping you find your mother for a while, I have been to your village many times, I know many people, and I know a little about what happened at that time, but I don't understand why your mother disappeared." ”

I didn't expect him to do so much for me behind my back, and I said very gratefully: "Thank you for worrying about me, I don't really understand why, but I know that my mother raised me from childhood to adulthood, and it must be for my good to leave me." “

"Well, in fact, your father also has a lot of hardship, but he didn't meet the right opportunity, right?" Uncle Qingcang muttered.

"What?" I asked, "What's wrong with Uncle Qingcang today?" It's always weird to talk.

I used to think that it would be nice if he were my father, but my mother wasn't with him, and he didn't recognize me, so I thought he might just think I was so kind to me, right?

There are some things I'm embarrassed to say, in fact, I really want to recognize my uncle as a godfather, but I never know how to speak, I've known him for almost a year, and I've become more and more dependent on him.

This kind of dependence is different from that of Su Che, Murong Yu and Wei, and I still know it in my heart.

After chatting for a while, I was still driven back to the tent by my uncle to go to sleep, saying that the humidity of this big night was not good for my health.

When I woke up the next day, Senior Brother Dashan had already gone down the mountain, and Uncle Qingcang said that he would be back at noon, and he would bring back the news at that time.

"So fast?" Lin Yue and I didn't expect that when we came, it would take us a day each way.

Uncle Qingcang told us with a smile that it was to take care of us that he deliberately walked very slowly, and if they entered the mountain with two masters and apprentices, the time would indeed be reduced by more than half.

Since we had to wait for him to come back, we didn't go too far, but just walked around the mountains around the camp, and we also harvested a lot of medicinal herbs, a large part of which I already knew, which made Uncle Qingcang very surprised and happy.

At noon, we returned to the camp, we boiled a little porridge for the five unconscious people to drink, although there were no souls, but they were not dead, if only food could keep them alive longer, but Uncle Qingcang told us that this would not have much effect, and that we could only do our best to ensure the destiny of heaven.
