Chapter 57: Cicada Noise
Long Yang was suspicious and ran the ghost cave, but he didn't expect to really enter the second elder's lair that the little tiger said. Huoran? Wen???? ???.? After R?a?N ?E?n?A'c?o?m entered, what made Long Yang unacceptable again was that the Second Elder was actually barbecuing, and he was still eating deliciously, and he was never tired of it.
When Long Yang said the special method of barbecue, the second elder was even more happy, and he had to ask for advice. Based on his previous impression of the Second Elder, Long Yang was barely able to accept what he had done. But when Long Yang said that there is meat and wine, and there will be no worries at the moment, the second elder actually burst into tears and remorse, which is indeed difficult to understand.
"Isn't it, you're such a barbecue lover that you don't have a little wine to add to the fun?" Seeing the second elder's sore feet, Long Yang couldn't help but smile secretly. But he didn't take it lightly, after all, he was an old man who had lived for so long, how could he not have a hidden trick.
Seeing that these two elders are crazy, in fact, it is not, maybe he is an attitude towards life, just chatting to get by. Jin Shan is like this, Long Yang has had this kind of experience.
"It was supposed to be, but now, hey! It's all to blame for my greedy mouth, I didn't pay attention, and I drank it all! At this, the second elder wept bitterly and regretted. Long Yang didn't know that what the second elder said was the truth. When he accepted the mission, he thought that it would only be a few years, or at most a matter of decades, but who knew that guarding the entrance would be hundreds or thousands of years! How much wine has survived to this day? Especially for an alcoholic, it is even more unbearable.
The feeling of scratching his ears and cheeks, tossing and turning, and staying awake at night, like the feeling of insects crawling on his body and burrowing into his bone marrow, made him unable to recall. Fortunately, he found another way to adjust, pretending to be crazy and stupid, vexatious, in order to divert his attention, which has had some effect over the years. No one dared to say a word of wine in front of him, otherwise, he would have to twist off the man's head and kick it as a ball.
Now that the word "wine" was mentioned by Long Yang, the wine worm drilled into his heart again, biting his spirit, making him beat his chest and feel sad. If you change someone else, do you still have to live? But he was facing Long Yang, and he had to endure it.
"It's really bearable!" Long Yang seemed to be talking to himself for no reason.
"Bear with what? Is it because I've been here that long? The second elder wiped away his tears like a child and asked disapprovingly. Like him, he can only be described as wise and foolish.
"Time, time is a promise, an oath, a mission for you, isn't it?" Long Yang took a bite of the beast meat at will, deliberately testing the reaction of the second elder. Since the Second Elder was able to follow orders to guard the entrances and exits, he would not casually reveal the matter of the secret passage, even if Long Yang had been tested.
"You mean that?" What the second elder said was obscure, but Long Yang knew it. He just didn't dare to mention the word wine, and pretended to be a real person.
"That's right! That's it! "I've been with Jin Shan for a long time, and Long Yang knows the character of a drunkard. If you don't drink it for a day, it's really like every three autumns! At that time, when did the father-in-law break down, if he really didn't have any wine, there was a way to find it. He didn't want to be busy, so he let Longyang do it for him. For looking for wine, Longyang has been in the mountains for many years and is quite experienced.
"Boy, I know that your identity is extraordinary, don't play tricks with me! You passed the test of those fools, but you didn't pass my test! "Who knew that the second elder was unmoved, and actually taught Long Yang a lesson.
"Alright! Since you don't believe me, then everyone will consume it. Anyway, I've already entered your territory, you can do it! "Foolish? Longyang has a learning, come and copy it, lie down, just enough to rest.
"Humph!" Seeing Long Yang like this, the second elder threw away the beast meat in his hand and turned over and lay down.
The two were at a stalemate, no one paid attention to anyone, and no one talked to anyone. The second elder thought to himself, I've been sleeping alone, staying alone, and being idle alone for so long, and I'm afraid that you'll be a stinky boy?!
Long Yang thought to himself, how long can you last an old guy? It's not me who consumes you, it's the wine worm!
There is no distinction between day and night in the Demon Soul Forest, there is no transition of the four seasons, and there is no concept of time, but here with the Second Elder, Long Yang really feels the feeling of the world, although it is not so comprehensive and thorough.
Here, there are animals, plants, and temperature differences!
The only explanation may be the slight amount of human breath leaking from the passage. This is definitely where the mysterious passage to the Tomb City is! And is that all?
The cemetery is inhabited by humans, and there is a group of people living at the bottom of the yang world. How they came to exist is still a mystery!
Long Yang had been to the Tomb City, and was almost discovered by a wise man and killed there. If it weren't for the help of the ghost woman and Meng Po, he would not have survived until now. But there, Longyang did not find the existence of fresh animals and plants, even a breath of freshness.
And here, in the Demon Soul Forest of the Netherworld, Long Yang really saw it and breathed it.
A few meters away, the second elder tossed and turned, moving back and forth. If you were someone else, you would definitely think that he was seduced by a wine bug, but Long Yang would not. Compared with the second elder, Long Yang's sleeping posture did not move at all, but he was uneasy, and he thought more. With a mission, he has never slackened since he was a child.
"What is it called! Sick of it! In the end, it was the Second Elder who broke the silence first, suddenly stood up, covered his ears with his hands, and shouted loudly in his mouth.
Hearing this, Long Yang was even more convinced of his thoughts. "Cicadas chirping! What's all the fuss? Long Yang turned over and looked at the second elder who was already irritable.
"Stinky boy, you don't know! In the four seasons of the year, they are the most annoying, endless calls, and I don't know what to call? The second elder loosened his ears slightly, and deliberately covered his hands again.
"They are like you, dormant for three or five years, just for these few calls!" After Long Yang finished speaking, he immediately turned back and stopped talking.
"What do you mean, boy? You name it, you name it clearly! You 、、、" the second elder shouted, shouted, and kept shouting, and never stopped. He really wants to be the cicada in Long Yang's mouth, and he keeps calling. The second elder is like this, he has endured the call for so many years, and today I will let you try Longyang too.
Long Yang, didn't you say dormant? This cicada chrysalis is only three or five years, but I am nearly a thousand years, and I am not allowed to scream a few times, a few days?! The shouts of the second elder, like the cries of cicadas, were a little depressed and a little released. Not for anything else, for existence, for mission, and maybe venting!
The development of cicada calls into cicada noise did not happen overnight. There are cicadas, there is summer, there is summer, there are almost four seasons, which further confirms Longyang's idea. And the noise of the cicada shows that the cicada is not a year or two, but many years, which makes the second elder think that the cicada's cry has become noise.
"It's your wine worm barking, isn't it?" In the song of the cicadas, Long Yang said a word, just a gentle sentence, like a dream.
"What?! Long Yang, you stir up trouble! I kindly invited you to eat meat, but you provoked me with wine. You think I'm afraid of you, and if you do this, even if you are destined, I will destroy you! The second elder was stimulated, and he bounced up from the ground suddenly, with his cultivation, he could kill Long Yang in minutes.
"I was going to find wine for you to drink, but who knew that your dog bit Lu Dongbin and didn't know the hearts of good people, forget it, kill me!" Long Yang lay down, looking generous and righteous. He knew in his heart that these two elders would not be such rough people, they would only shout and kill, and they would not do anything.
According to what Ah Chuan said, only Elder Chuan's gang is the one who kills people and destroys souls, and they are the guardians of the first level, killing all suspicious enemies. Long Yang has passed the test of the first batch, and the second elder will never kill it easily. "Do it!" Long Yang didn't bother to explain anymore, and begged for death directly.
"What did you say?" The second elder glared and asked loudly.
"What can I say, beg for death!" Long Yang seemed to want to provoke the second elder, so he deliberately sat up and responded loudly.
"No, no, I said what did you say last sentence?" The second elder waved his hand again and again, signaling that Long Yang had made a mistake.
"It's your wine worm barking, isn't it?" Long Yang scratched his head and asked in confusion.
"You! Oh, I said, no, what do you say next? The second elder was just about to get angry, but suddenly changed his smiling face and continued to ask.
"Originally, 、、、" As soon as Long Yang said two words, the second elder interrupted Long Yang's words. "Yes, yes, that's it, what was it meant to be?"
"Forget it, kill me!" Long Yang didn't think about it, and immediately continued.
"No, there's another sentence in between!" The Second Elder had long since dismissed the other conversations and remembered only one of the most important words. He won't kill Long Yang, because Long Yang is a destined person, and the most promising person is the person that Shanzu is looking for, so he won't be so stupid. Besides, finding someone destined is his ultimate mission, and everything else is subsection, except for wine.
"Do you want to drink?" At this point, it is useless to say more. Long Yang has achieved his goal, and there is no need to break the bottom line of the second elder. The conversation between the two, as long as it does not involve secrecy, is negotiable. Long Yang knew in his heart that the second elder was not a fool.
In order to know about the mysterious passage, Long Yang still needs to undergo another test, and this test only comes from the second elder, and the others are no different. But what the specific test is, Long Yang does not know.
"Stinky boy, so you're kidding me?" The second elder said angrily. How could he not know that Longyang was playing tricks with him, he was just pushing the boat along the river, not only being able to drink wine, but also to learn more about Longyang.
"I didn't play tricks on you, the wine you want is far away in front of you." Long Yang was secretive and did not directly say the answer. He thought that the second elder should know, but he didn't understand why he didn't find the wine. Long Yang kept an eye on it to observe the reaction of the second elder. In terms of specific circumstances, if the second elder could find the wine, he would not suffer from this, but this is not the case, and it needs to be confirmed.
"The edge of the sky? Now? The second elder scratched his ears and cheeks, anxious like an ant on a hot pot, trampling on many nearby plants and trees.
"Did you domesticate and raise the demon monkey?" Seeing that the second elder didn't seem to be a fake, Long Yang prompted.
"Yes, I later asked it to follow Ah Chuan to protect him." The second elder didn't know why, and asked suspiciously.
"Hey! I'll get straight to the point! Otherwise, I'll vomit blood! Monkey wine, monkey wine, monkey will make wine! Long Yang shook his head again and again, a little sad and angry.
"Stop, tell me where you get the wine! That's a demon monkey, not a physical monkey, how can there be wine? The second elder didn't believe Long Yang's words at all, and anxiously urged Long Yang to tell the truth.
"Cicadas? Cicada noise? Long Yang said ambiguously, pointing to the trees in the distance of the Second Elder. The trees there are lush and luxuriant, and the sound of cicadas humming is heard without a moment's pause.
