Chapter 17: Stopping (1)
I see. No wonder they all say that the drunken array is extremely draining.
"But I still don't understand why Mo Ruyu set up a drunken array here." I say.
Stepping on this small bridge and listening to the intoxicating sound of the murmuring water under my feet, my mood was much happier.
Xiao Changfeng followed me: "He is known as the first son of the rivers and lakes, and his ideas are different from us ordinary people, in short, he will not harm us, no matter what he does so much." ”
"It's just curiosity, Mo Ruyu is too weird." When I looked down, I saw a few petals floating in the long stream of water.
I couldn't tell what the petals were, I could only see by the moonlight that they were red. It's very red, it's very red. As the river flowed a little south, then many of my petals drifted from the north to the south.
I was in the mood and ran to the other end of the bridge with my clothes kicked. was about to go down from the bridge, but was grabbed by Xiao Changfeng who ran over.
"What are you doing?"
Xiao Changfeng looked at me with a very speechless look: "Didn't you see that there was a pit under the bridge." ”
I lowered my head and took a closer look. Hey, really.
"When did you get a pit?"
At the end of the drawbridge is not a wide path, but a large crater with no end in sight. It's as long and as wide as two adults, and it's hard to see how deep it is.
"I wonder if your brain has been hollowed out by a puppet." Xiao Changfeng spoke coldly.
I said "thank you" to him. If it weren't for Xiao Changfeng, I'm afraid I would really have to load it headlong. It's such a deep pit, I'm really going to finish playing when I fall in.
"But how can there be a pit here, isn't it blocking the road to the front?" I squatted down and held my cheek with one hand: "I can't dig so deep in ten days and half a month, it looks like this pit has been around for a long time." ”
Xiao Changfeng pointed to the front: "No one has stepped on the footprints left on the bridge, and there are still lights flashing in the town ahead, so it should be isolated." ”
"Maybe there's another way to get outside."
"No, it won't. The road is full of vegetation and the surrounding area should be high mountains, so this suspension bridge should be the only way. "Xiao Changfeng preached to me.
I'm really enlightened. It's so dark around me, the water is only two steps away from me, I can't see what flowers are in the river, he's fine, he doesn't have to look at it, just guess.
I asked him, "As you said, what kind of flower did I see in the river?" ”
"Mandala flowers." Xiao Changfeng replied very neatly.
I chuckled, "So sure." ”
Xiao Changfeng raised his eyebrows and smiled: "It's self-confidence." ”
Is this still a person, I haven't even seen him look at the water a few times, and this person can guess that there are mandala flowers floating in the river.
Xiao Changfeng is right, what floats in this river is indeed a very rare mandala flower. Its petals are shaped like stars in the sky, and are bright red in color, almost the same as blood. I'm most sure it's mandala pollen or his smell. It's like the juice of grass being pressed, and it smells like roses.
"It's been flowing for so long, how many mandala flowers have to be wasted, it's a pity, this flower is so rare." From the time we got on the suspension bridge until now, the flower has been floating in the water.
Xiao Changfeng pulled me up from the ground: "It looks like a lot, but it's not much." The water is circulating and flowing back and forth around the town. ”
Is it so powerful? I didn't ask him how he could see it, and why the water kept circulating. If I had to ask him anything, he would have thought I was an idiot.
"It stands to reason that Mo Ruyu should have known that this road was cut off." I was sullen, and I immediately understood why Mo Ruyu kept smiling.
He knew we wouldn't be able to get into this town.
Xiao Changfeng touched my head: "That's why he is so relieved to let us get out of his drunken array." ”
A cunning old man. I was guilty of it.
"So what now?"
"Find Mo Ruyu."
Mo Ruyu was waiting for us in the same place, he leaned against a hay, leisurely playing with the jade fan, as if he expected us to come back early in the morning.
"We'll meet again."
I didn't feel good and said, "You already knew there was no road ahead." ”
"You didn't ask me." Mo Ruyu is still the same sentence.
I felt like I was talking to him playing the harp to a cow, and he was a wonderful, stubborn bull.
"So what's going on here?" You can tell me that.
"Tell me something, and I'll explain it to you."
"What's the matter?"
"What does your big brother like?" Mo Ruyu Shi Ran walked over.
I wondered, "What do you keep asking my eldest brother for?" ”
But he didn't answer me: "You only have one chance, and if I answer you, I'm not obliged to explain another thing you want to know." ”
I whispered to Xiao Changfeng, and seriously felt that there was something wrong with Mo Ruyu.
But people have to bow their heads under the eaves, who let there be no way ahead, and there are mandala flowers in front of them, so they can only rely on Mo Ruyu.
"My eldest brother is a martial arts idiot, and he likes to learn swordsmanship from others. Whoever can beat him all over the ground to find teeth, he is happy. ”
Mo Ruyu's eyes lit up, and she poked my head to warn me: "If what you say is true, it will definitely be indispensable for your benefits." ”
Come on, I thank you for your kindness.
I silently stepped back and plunged into Xiao Changfeng's wide arms.
It turns out that the front is called Chu Town, which is a paradise surrounded by mountains and rivers. There are not many people there, and few outsiders come in on weekdays, so it can be said that they have cut off contact with the outside world. I don't know when a woman named Chu Liu'er in Chu Town rescued a seriously injured foreign man, she took her home to take care of it, and spent some time with this man. The two gradually fell in love, Chu Liu'er fell in love with this man, and told this man all the big and small things in Chu Town. In the end, the man led a lot of officers and soldiers to encircle and suppress Chu Town, wanting to expand this paradise outward, but was resisted by all the people in Chu Town, and the man was forced to evacuate, and he was unwilling to sprinkle mandala flowers in the water around the village, so as to force the people of Chu Town to comply. Chu Liu'er became a sinner in Chu Town, was scolded by everyone, and finally chose to hang herself. When the man found out, he was furious and cut off the only exit from Chu Town.
"The mandala flower itself is mildly toxic, and it can paralyze people after smelling it for a long time. In addition, there are many precious thousand-year-old lingzhi and snow lotus in Chu Town. When cold meets hot food, it will stimulate the toxicity of mandala flowers. Mo Ruyu said: "As for what the situation is inside, no one knows." It's been two days since the poison spread of the mandala flower, and I went in to see it before it. ”
