Chapter 345: Tengu and Iron Hammer
There is the legendary ghost cave, from the foot of the mountain to the top of the mountain, I have always had a question in my heart, if I don't ask it now, I'm afraid that after seeing Muji, I won't have the opportunity to ask.
It just so happened that after my torch was lit, everyone's mood was relatively relaxed, and seeing that there was still a short distance from the ghost cave, I asked Yoda: "Why is there a Ling arrow in Awu's hand?" ”
I didn't look back when I spoke, and I didn't know what the expression on Yoda's face was, and he responded to me after a while: "Because Muji is on the mountain, Awu has to send him some supplies every once in a while, and sometimes Awu is reluctant to come, and Brother Niu will do it for him." ”
I asked again, "Why Awu?" ”
This time, Yoda did not respond to my words for a long time, and I felt strange in my heart, and when I looked back at him, I saw that he was frowning and shaking his head at me.
Am I asking too much? Or is it that such a question is a taboo for Yoda.
Since he didn't want to say more, I couldn't ask any more questions, so I could only walk up with my head down, and after about a minute, we finally came to the entrance of the ghost cave.
Yoda approached me, tugged at my cuffs, and motioned for me not to go in yet.
After this, he craned his neck again and shouted into the dark ghost cave, "Muji? ”
At first, I thought that the reason why there were so many dark shadows in the ghost cave was because the moonlight could not shine in, so that a large area of shadows was suppressed inside, and I knew that Yoda shouted such a voice, and there was a sound of not being pulled in front of me, and I saw clearly that there was a black curtain hanging in the entrance of the cave, and a white hand was slowly pulling it away.
When the curtain was opened, there was a bright light of fire, and along with the light appeared in front of us, a young man with a thin figure.
I have seen quite a few people in the village, and almost all of them have very healthy bronzed skin, but this young man standing behind the curtain is so white that there is not a trace of variegation, and even the light of the fire on his face does not make his face glow much blood.
By the way, in addition to this young man, there is another person in the village, who is also so white that it is abnormal, and that person is the Great Witch of Noja.
However, the reason why the big witch is white is probably because he has albinism, and even his pupils are not normal black, although the young man in front of him is as white as paper, but his eyes are indeed as black as Awu, and under the background of pure white eyes, these eyes are like two bottomless holes.
Yoda pointed to the young man standing on the other side of the tent and said, "He is Muji." ”
I gave Mu Ji a smile: "My name is Yu Ruofei, and I was invited by the Great Witch of Noja to deal with the matter of the ghost cave. ”
Muji stared at me for a moment, nodded, and then retreated into the cave without saying a word.
His nod seemed to be a pass, and Yoda breathed a sigh of relief and beckoned a few of us to go in together.
On the other side of the curtain was a small stone hall with a wooden floor, and in the center of the stone hall was a table with three oil lamps on it, and in the corner of the table, a dozen books were piled up, and in the light of the fire, the Chinese characters on the book covers were very obvious.
Other than that, there is only a simple floor bunk and a stack of clothes.
After we entered the stone hall, Mu Ji went to the depths of the stone hall without a sound, there was only a very dark shadow, the fire could not penetrate, I could only vaguely see two things lying on their stomachs in the black shadow, but I couldn't see what it was.
Just when I was looking at one of the relatively large shadows, another shadow suddenly jumped up, I was shocked, and hurriedly grabbed Li Huaishan and asked him to retreat behind me.
It wasn't until the tiny figure rushed into the firelit area that I was stunned again.
Hammer, it turned out to be a hammer!
How did it get into the ghost cave?
Recently, the hammer's body has been developing horizontally, and it has become a big ball of meat, but the change in weight does not affect its agility at all, and I saw its pure black figure slash a long arc in the air, and then I felt my head sink, and this guy jumped on top of my head accurately, and then he stretched out a long waist, and lay down very peacefully.
I raised my eyelids to look at the black tail hanging from the corner of my forehead: "Hammer, how did you get here?" ”
The hammer moved his ass and hung his tail next to my ear, ignoring me.
Here the hammer lay comfortably on my head, and in the shadows deep in the stone hall, another figure slowly stood up, it seemed to be a four-legged animal, through the vague outline, I could vaguely see that it seemed to hold its head high and yawn for a long time, after that, red and white lights lit up in the darkness.
The red light is like blood, the white light is like snow, standing in front of us at this time, is a red-haired fox with a body length of more than one meter, it is like a fire all over its body, the red light is shining, and the white hair on the top of its head exudes a blazing white light.
This guy must be the little black sky in Hu Nanqian's mouth, no, it should be said that it is a living tengu.
A few months ago, I had seen a portrait of a tengu in the old man's books, but I never thought that I would see one of them in my lifetime.
That's right, this is a tengu, I will not be mistaken, in addition to the red hair and white top, it also has an extremely important feature, which is those eyes.
Under the intersection of red and white light, its eyes take on a very rare emerald green color, and around the eyelids, there are eyelashes that stand like steel needles.
Mu Ji glanced at the Tengu, a gentle smile on his face, and some Yi words in his mouth that I didn't understand.
Shi'er, who was standing behind me, immediately said to him, "The teacher has instructed you to speak in front of the guests to be able to understand them." ”
Mu Ji looked back at Shi'er, then at me, and said to me, "This is rare. ”
I smiled at Muji and didn't say anything.
This reaction seemed to exceed Mu Ji's expectations, and when Mu Ji looked at me, there was more curiosity in his eyes.
Shi Er didn't seem to like Mu Ji well, and asked Mu Ji very unhappily, "What do you want to say?" ”
Mu Ji obviously didn't like Shi Er either, he just glanced at Shi Er with his spare eyes, and said lightly: "It's rare to meet someone who is looked at by you." ”
Shi'er turned his gaze to me, his face a little embarrassed.
It's really rare, I didn't expect a person like Shier to know how to be embarrassed.
As we spoke, the tengu trotted up to me, and he stood upright and lay on my lap, but his eyes were fixed on the hammer lying above my head, and his mouth made a dog-like whine, as if calling for the hammer to go down and play with it, but the hammer didn't bother to pay attention to it.
At this time, the chaotic Qi field entrenched on my body had not yet been re-hidden, and I felt that the tengu probably sensed the existence of this Qi field, and when it saw that the hammer ignored it, it began to lie on me and sniff desperately again.
This guy's claws are quite sharp, and I was scratched by it, so I said to Muji, "Can you take care of your dog?" ”
Hearing me say this, Mu Ji laughed on the spot: "How do you know that Xiaotian is a dog?" A lot of people thought it was a fox. ”
I said, "Your little black sky was originally a tengu, and there is a record of it in the Book of Mountains and Seas. ”
Mu Ji: "The Classic of Mountains and Seas? I've heard about and this book, but haven't had a chance to read it, do you take this book with you? ”
I spread my hands: "No, if you want to see it, when this time is done, I'll bring you a copy." ”
The smile on Mu Ji's face bloomed even more: "A word is a certainty." ”
I have to say that Mu Ji and Awu's Chinese level is very good, the pronunciation is clear and standard, unlike Shier and Yoda, Shier's Chinese level can be said to be relatively poor, the words are often grammatical, and the subject-verb-object-definite complement of Yoda is very clear, the only problem is pronunciation, when I first contacted him, he was probably afraid that I couldn't understand what he said, and he was more deliberate in biting words, but after getting acquainted, he spoke a little ambiguous, and the problem of biting pronunciation was very big, and I was on par.
I just chatted with Mu Ji for a couple of words, but it caused Shi Er's dissatisfaction, so I heard Shi Er say to Mu Ji: "Mu Ji, you have talked too much today, if they are not here to do business." ”
Mu Ji glanced at Shi Er impatiently before beckoning to me, "Come with me." ”
After saying that, he continued to walk towards the depths of the stone hall, and when Li Huaishan and I followed, Shi Er and Yoda also came over.
The sound of stray footsteps caught Mu Ji's attention, and he turned slightly to the side, glanced at us with slanted eyes, and said, "Inconsequential people don't need to come over." ”
As soon as he opened his mouth, Shi Er became quite unhappy, and he rolled up his sleeves and strode towards Mu Ji, but fortunately, Yoda even got over and grabbed Shi Er's arm.
Shier frowned and looked at Yoda, Yoda shook his head at him, and then Shier looked at me again, I didn't say anything, just walked two quick steps to keep up with Muji.
After that, Shir and Yoda did not follow up.
In the shadow behind the stone hall, there is a long tunnel, and there are signs of collapse on the left side of the tunnel, and there are many broken stones scattered on the ground, and there are faint steps on it.
Ever since I entered this tunnel, the chaotic Qi field that spread all over my body gradually converged towards the dantian, and it didn't take long for it to hide itself again, and even I couldn't sense its presence.
It's just that after the nourishment of this Qi field, I feel as if there are some changes in my body, but this feeling is very weak, and I can't say what has changed for the time being.
After walking along the tunnel for about half an hour, there was a smooth reflection in front of me, and I deliberately raised the torch forward, and I saw the shadow of the flame faintly reflected ten meters away, and there seemed to be a mirror there.
