3.2 The Great War (1)
The sun soon rose, everyone extinguished the bonfire, ate some wild fruits to satisfy their hunger, and continued to set off towards the Lingwu Secret Realm. No longer have to sneak around, and with the guidance of experienced Hulan, the road ahead seems to be much smoother and safer.
The sun was shining just right, and the forest was already full of life, which made Rui Gong's tense spirit relax. She looked at the fox mulberry jumping in front of her and fell into deep thought. The conversation between Linghu and his son just now made her deeply feel that in this world known as the "Mountain and Sea Realm", what is happening is far more complicated and dangerous than imagined, and the process of returning to the human world should not be so simple - of course, if things are really as serious and serious as they say.
But if it's true, what kind of chaotic and middle-two things such as the Phoenix Emperor, Demon Spirit, and Light Gem are mixed together, then it's not to mention the way home, it's strange that the way to the secret realm can be simple...... That's right, middle two, it's middle two, that's right, for example, the little fox with nine tails in front of him, what he said just now is really cute. Unexpectedly, animals also have the same spirit and mind as humans, which made her a little impressed.
Just thinking about it, I suddenly heard the fox and Ke Zhenshi who were running in front of me shouting, and when I looked up, I saw that these two guys were standing on a big rock, and below was a low green cliff, and there was a wide waterfall hanging on it. Since entering this mountain and sea realm, I have encountered a lot of scenery, but I have spent my days in tension and panic, and I have never had the intention of appreciating it. Today, I was finally able to take a break, and I felt that this area without human involvement was really a peerless beauty. If there weren't so many scary things, the beautiful scenery here would be overshadowed even by Taowu Village.
There were suddenly water drips on her face, and when she saw that Ke Zhenshi was looking at her with a smile, her hands were still wet; The fox mulberry next to him was flicking the water with his tail.
Rui Geng's young heart surged up all of a sudden, "Whatever! There must be a road before the car reaches the mountain, and the boat is naturally straight to the bridge, anyway, I haven't gone to class for so many days, even if I go back now, there must be no good fruit to eat, what can I do in the end, just let it go! After thinking about it, he bent down and poured a handful of water from the pool towards Ke Zhenshi.
Hu Lan stood aside, watching his son frolic with the three human teenagers, both relieved and helpless. It is gratifying that the son has been incompatible with the spirit fox of the same age in the village since he was a child, and he is often ridiculed because he has no spiritual power. Helplessly, these three Terran teenagers are also newborn calves who are not afraid of tigers, and they can't hide their childishness, they don't have much ability, and they haven't really seen the cruelty of the jungle in the mountains and seas, so they are full of big words, and they really think that they are the king of heaven. His own son is with such a guy, as a father, how can he rest assured? At that time, I was moved by the words of the Terran girl and her son, and my heart was hot; The second is selfishness, hoping to find a way to use the human race to stimulate the spiritual power of the fox as soon as possible on the way, so he agreed to his son to go to the Lingwu Secret Realm with them, and now I don't know whether it is right or wrong.
In a nameless frozen ice cave hundreds of miles away, a cunning man was walking towards the cave.
The place at the foot of the mountain where this frozen earth ice cave is located has always been a natural survival blessed place for the Tumole people. At this moment, however, I saw only hundreds of mole crawling to their knees, their faces pressed tightly to the ground, their buttocks pouting high, and their mouths muttering, bowing down the muddy path along the edge of the mountain on both sides, leading to the depths of the dark and damp cavern.
In the middle of the road where the earth mole knelt, the swaggering figure appeared. I saw that he was slender, covered with a brownish-black mane, and his arms were so long that they were about to hang down to the ground.
The road into the hole has eighteen bends, and it is winding and long, which makes the slippery wrap very impatient. I saw him flick his tail and slap it the head of a strong mole mole, which hurriedly rolled to the foot of the slippery wrap. As soon as he lifted his legs, he rode on the back of the earth mole, humming and chirping in his mouth, singing a little song that no one could understand, shaking his legs proudly a few times, and signaling the earth mole to hurry forward. The mole didn't dare to slack off, carrying a huge slippery wrap and moving it in little by little. The rest of the moles didn't dare to step forward, but just crawled on their knees and followed behind.
After entering the cave, the slippery wrap first circled the hole, picked a tall stone and climbed up, and the earth mole hurriedly surrounded it and continued to crawl. When he was comfortable seated, he glanced condescendingly at the black press below, and said, "I said...... You all know who sent me...... Ahem...... You know who I represent, right? ”
As soon as the words fell, hundreds of moles "creaked" and screamed, like hundreds of broken wooden doors opening and closing at the same time. Although the voice was harsh, the slippery wrap on top of the high stone was obviously satisfied with the response, and he continued, "I, the slippery wrapping immortal, am entrusted to you by the Heavenly God of the Poor Strange Tyrant, and I have entrusted you with a heavy responsibility! Hearing the words "Poor Qi Batian", the earth moles squeaked and screamed even more happily.
"From now on, you are the subordinates of this great immortal, as long as you are loyal to this great immortal, that great immortal will definitely be closer to you than to your own cubs, and in the future, you will also remember your first merit in front of the god of the heavens, and also make you a god or something, in the future, you can also on other people's necks!"
When all the earth moles heard this, they immediately squeaked and made a mess. There were a few young moles jumping vigorously, trying to express the joy in their hearts, but no matter how they jumped, they couldn't jump half a foot high.
Slippery Wrap looked at the scene of this group of moles dancing wildly, full of joy. I saw him spit and say, "Ahem, the ambition of the god of the heavens, I think you all know it, this great immortal will not waste his tongue." Only when we are good pioneers can the gods of the sky ...... In order to create a great cause! Ahem...... So, no matter the size, no matter the shape, no matter the color, no matter whose it is, no matter what method it is, all – listen, it's all! Ruined for me! ”
The moles pounded the garlic in the ground. Sleek scarlet eyes scanned them and continued, "If you miss even one, the Heavenly God will kill me, so don't think about it then!" Our slogan is: Rather kill a thousand by mistake than let one go! ”
The creaking cheers of the mole echoed through the frozen ice caves. Slippery Wrap stood up, took a posture that he thought was domineering, and pointed to the hole and howled, "Let's go!" ”
So the mole that received the signal came out of the hole and poured out of the nest. The rest of the slippery one stayed where he was with a smug face, yawning and stretching, "Ouch, I'm so tired of talking so much!" Go first, I'll rest for a while! After saying that, no matter how filthy the mole hole was, he fell to the ground and fell asleep.
Eyes draw back to a few of our protagonists. The three foxes, the three human teenagers, walked in the forest for several days in a row, and they were all safe and sound, and nothing dangerous happened. They are always shuttling and moving, and they seem to get tired of seeing too much scenery.
Rui Gong and the other two friends were a little depressed, not to mention the figures or animals, not even the big mushroom with the little bugs and the woods like the big octopus that they had before. Thinking of what Hu Lan said before, such as "the place where he died" and "there are no bones", the three Terran teenagers began to feel that the old fox was too much of a fuss.
On the other hand, it was probably the first time he was so far away from home, so he always stopped and stopped, carefully observing the surrounding land and plants, and from time to time let out exclamations of "ah", "wow", and "oh".
Before they knew it, they had entered a meadow and walked in it for half a day. Ahead, however, a few abrupt peaks suddenly grew like a trick. The hills were towering, and between the two highest peaks formed a long and narrow valley, and between the valleys was a forest. The forest is purple and the trees are verdant. Seeing this forest, Hu Lan opened his eyes and smiled, "We have arrived at Yushan, and in front of us is the Bird Forest. ”
The fox said, "Birds? Is it the bosom friend that Dad said? ”
Hu Lan said, "Exactly." The bird king is very hearty and open-minded, chic and heroic, and chivalrous. A hundred years ago, I met by chance in Qingqiu Mountain, and we fell in love with each other. Since then, although they have been busy with their own work and do not come and go often, they also miss it very much. This bird forest is a necessary place to go to the secret realm of Lingwu, and now that we have the opportunity, we must go and visit it. ”
Hearing this, Rui Geng's mood suddenly brightened a lot, thinking that this time he could finally see something new. Hurriedly followed the footsteps of Hulan.
It didn't take long to reach the outside of the valley. Look at it more closely, the forest here is very peculiar, like wood bamboo, with branches, no more than eight or nine feet long, from the branches and leaves of the main road are covered with a layer of milky white brilliance of the palm of the hand.
"This tree grows really strangely, one section at a time like bamboo, but the wood looks very strong and vigorous. ”
Looking at the light attached to the tree, Ke Zhenshi remembered what Hu Sang said before that plants would glow because of assimilation of spiritual power, and said, "The light on this tree is so bright, presumably the spiritual power of this tree must be very high!" ”
"Of course, this is Lingshou Wood, and it is a precious thing." Fox Sang said, "The book says that this tree has two magical features, first, the most powerful thing about this Lingshou Wood is that the old man uses this staff to help him walk, he can be sensitive to think quickly, dispel diseases and prolong life, so it is called 'Lingshou Wood'; ”
Ke Zhenshi was surprised, "This tree is so powerful?" Wouldn't it be invincible to use it as a weapon? Fight all over the world invincible! ”
"Use Lingshou wood as a weapon?" Husang looked at Ke Zhenshi and said, "This is an auspicious tree, how can you use it as a weapon to harm living beings?" ”
Ke Zhenshi was a little gray when he was asked by Husang, so he stopped talking.
Hu Lan watched them talk, lost in thought. When he looked back at the Bird Forest, his face looked quite heavy. "Although I have only been to Yushan three or five times before, the mountains are fragrant and fragrant, and hundreds of birds are chirping. Now, except for the occasional rustle of the wind blowing the leaves, there is not a trace of insects and birds, as if there is no life at all, which is really strange. ”
Hu Lan squinted and looked ahead for a while, his face changed greatly, "Not good! The Bird Forest should have an enchantment set by the spiritual power of the Bird Clan, why can't I see it? ”
Fox Sang's nose sniffed carefully in the air, "It seems to have a bloody breath!" ”
"Not to mention the smell of blood, but also the smell of earth, like ...... That's right, the smell of the mole! Fox said.
Rui Gong couldn't help but think of what happened that night, and a sense of foreboding came over her. As she traveled for the past few days, she felt that she could vaguely sense something, such as the scent of the woods.
Although there is a fox mulberry who says that the trees in this forest are auspicious trees, according to the experience of the past few days, if it is really a friendly place, then she will definitely have a sense of detachment and tiredness here. But there was a gloomy energy in the forest in front of her, which made her uneasy, so she asked, "Father Fox, your friend lives here?" How do you contact him? Are we going to wait here for him to come out? ”
Hu Lan hesitated, "It's really a little strange today, the Bird King is very hospitable, it shouldn't be like this." ”
As he was talking, a bird's cry suddenly came from the Lingshou Wood Forest, which was short and poignant, startling everyone. Hu Lan frowned, and said to Hu Lan, "You and Hu Sang are waiting here with them, I'll go and see first." ”
