Chapter 1: The Reunion in the Jungle
One morning in November, Huo Xiaolu and Huo Liuli flew to a small city in the northeast. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
At this time, it is already very cold in this black land, and in previous years, snowflakes have even begun to fall. Huo Xiaolu was here for the first time, but he didn't have the opportunity to see those exotic buildings for the time being, nor did he see the legendary Heilongjiang and Songhua rivers. Unfortunately, he didn't have a good rest on the plane, so he ran around the road all day. It was the first time Huo Xiaolu had been in such a hurry, he felt that it was not so hard to squeeze the train home, he was already a little groggy in the car, holding his backpack and dozing off all the time. Walking and walking, I don't know why the road seems to be getting more and more uneven, Huo Xiaolu in the confusion was almost reversed, but it made him sober up a little. In this way, he sat in the car with Huo Liuli half-asleep until dawn, and did not get off the car in a small village until evening.
When he got out of the car, Huo Xiaolu almost groaned happily. After driving for such a long time, not only was his stomach empty and he was hungry and panicked, but more importantly, he felt that his brain had been turned into a pulp, and now that he was blown by the cool wind, he felt like a prisoner who had been tortured and saw the light of day after being released, and his whole body was indescribably comfortable.
Stretching his waist and moving his muscles and bones, which had almost twisted into a ball, Huo Xiaolu asked Huo Liuli, who also looked tired: "Senior sister, aren't we looking for the Yin Lord, where is this?" ”
Putting the luggage in his hand heavily on the ground, Huo Liuli exhaled a long breath and said, "I don't know what this place is called, it seems to be called Dalin Village, this place is leaning on a very vast dense forest, and the Yin Lord is there." ”
"In other words, the tomb of King Qing we are looking for is also here?"
Huo Liuli nodded: "Okay, you wait here for a while, I'll go find the car, and then we'll go to the Yin Lord." ”
Hearing this, Huo Xiaolu turned into a bitter gourd face: "Isn't it, you want to take a car again?" ”
Huo Liuli pursed her lips: "You think I'm willing?" But the place was more than twenty kilometers away, and we wouldn't have been able to reach it overnight if we had walked there. ”
Huo Xiaolu suddenly felt a headache, but there was nothing he could do but lament and express his depression.
Huo Liuli went to the village to look for a car, and Huo Xiaolu looked at the luggage in place. He wanted to call Yi Ran to report his safety, but when he took out his mobile phone, he found that there was not even half a signal in this place, which made his mood even worse. Where there is a car, there is no signal? Hell yes.
There was no way, Huo Xiaolu couldn't do anything, so he could only wait honestly in place. Now that it was completely dark, the surrounding environment was unusually quiet, so quiet that Huo Xiaolu could hear his own breathing. Looking around, by the faint starlight, he realized that this was a small mountain village, which looked very primitive, and it didn't even seem to be electrified, and there were only a few lights and shadows of candles flickering as far as the eye could see. The light was too dim at night, and Huo Xiaolu couldn't see the rest of the things clearly, and could only see a few hills that seemed to be not tall in the distance.
The night was a little cold, but fortunately Huo Liuli had the foresight to let him put on a thick coat, so he was interested in admiring the monotonous and quiet scenery. However, he didn't have much patience in this environment, he just wanted Huo Liuli to come back as soon as possible, but he didn't wait too long, and after a while, the light pillar of the car lights in the village lit up, and it was accompanied by the faint sound of the engine.
A dark black off-road vehicle stopped on the side of the road, and Huo Liuli poked his head out and shouted, "Come on, get in the car!" ”
Huo Xiaolu threw his luggage in the back seat, opened the door and jumped into the car. After getting into the car, looking at the simple but exquisite configuration in the car, I couldn't help but whistle: "Wow, this car is powerful enough, where did you find this?" ”
Huo Liuli drove the car steadily, and said, "This car belongs to the Yin Lord, and he deliberately left it before he left here, just for our convenience. ”
Huo Xiaolu nodded, still looking around: "This is his own car?" You are really worthy of being the children of a family, and you are really not short of money. ”
Huo Liuli threw him a roll of his eyes: "Come on, although we seem to be quite rich, but this is all in exchange for our own blood and sweat, otherwise, no matter how rich the family is, we will not let us squander it." ”
After that, she looked at the guy who was still restless in the co-pilot, and said, "Besides, now you are also considered a rich man, right?" I guess the Yin Lord didn't treat you badly. ”
In this regard, Huo Xiaolu smiled and did not speak. Indeed, the amount of money in the card given to him by the Lord of the Yin took him by surprise, and even felt like a dream for several days. The seven digits before the decimal point almost missed him, and even the first two days were as frightened as a thief, feeling as if he had stolen ill-gotten gains. Later, his mood calmed down, but he didn't know what to do, and he didn't even know how to spend it when he saw so much money for the first time in his life. However, after thinking about it, he still decided to give some of it to his family, and he didn't plan to spend the rest for himself, because he knew that the future would not be easy, and the money would definitely be used.
With the bright headlights on, Huo Liuli and the two left the small village and drove towards the hills behind the village, Huo Liuli said, in the past two small hills, behind them is a dense forest, where the Yin Lord is waiting for them.
The car staggered away, and Huo Xiaolu's eyelids began to fight up and down again. Looking out of the window, it was pitch black, and I couldn't see anything except the small piece of the road ahead that the headlights were shining on. Huo Xiaolu pursed his lips, a little irritable in his heart, and didn't know what to do.
Suddenly, he thought of a question that he had ignored for a long time, and he asked Huo Liuli on the side: "By the way, senior sister, can you help me explain a question?" ”
"What's the problem? Go ahead. Huo Liuli said while playing the steering wheel.
After organizing the language a little, Huo Xiaolu asked, "That's it, didn't the ancestors and Granny Lin in our village go to our school in my hometown before?" At that time, they seemed to use some kind of escape technique to go back and forth, that is, hundreds of thousands of miles away in the blink of an eye, and they were used to travel very quickly. You and the Yin Lord's Taoism should be much stronger than my ancestors, right? Why do you never use it? ”
After listening to Huo Xiaolu's question, Huo Liuli smiled: "The reason is very simple, we can't use it." ”
"Huh? How do you say that? Huo Xiaolu was a little incomprehensible.
Carefully bypassing a small pit, Huo Liuli asked him rhetorically, "Do you think that our Dao cultivation is higher than that of your ancestor and that Granny Lin, and even stronger than most people you have ever seen?" ”
Huo Xiaolu nodded: "Isn't it?" For example, the evil spirit, and the evil ghosts in me before, many people, including the ancestors, had no way, and in the end you solved it, doesn't this mean that you are much stronger than them? ”
For his cognition, Huo Liuli could only smile: "If you think so, you are wrong." Don't forget, we are just a group of juniors who have cultivated for more than ten years, and the most important thing for our families is to have a solid foundation, and it is impossible for us to find some natural treasures to make our skills a thousand miles forward or greatly increase our Taoism and so on. Therefore, our Taoism is far less profound than that of our predecessors. ”
At this time, Huo Xiaolu was puzzled again: "But how can you explain the strength you show in this case?" Looks like you're a lot better than those guys, huh? ”
Seeing his posture of breaking the casserole and asking the end, Huo Liuli simply explained to him directly: "Let me tell you this, Taoism does not mean combat effectiveness, understand?" Although we don't have advanced Taoism, and we can't use those powerful spells, our hard work and continuous refining of our mana have given us extraordinary control, and we can freely regulate every trace of mana in our body, so as to produce extraordinary destructive power, which is why you can see that our strength seems to be very strong. ”
"Oh." Huo Xiaolu seemed to understand, and said: "In other words, your strength is not as exaggerated as I imagined, just because you can really exert your combat power one hundred percent?" ”
"To be precise, it's one hundred and twenty percent, don't forget that we all still have magic weapons that are not weak." Huo Liuli said with a little pride.
Huo Xiaolu looked thoughtful, and at the same time said by inference: "That means that with your Taoism, you can't actually use that kind of escape technique?" ”
"Bingo."
Tilting his head, Huo Xiaolu muttered in a low voice: "Okay, it seems that I worship you for nothing." ”
Huo Liuli, who was close at hand, didn't seem to hear his words, but drove the car over a mound of dirt protruding from the road, causing the car to shake violently, and Huo Xiaolu almost hit the front window glass of the car. He hurriedly fastened his seat belt while looking at the cautious woman with a look of horror.
The vehicle kept moving forward, and Huo Xiaolu and the two soon came to the dense forest they had mentioned before. It's a pine forest, and it's still lush this season, but it looks like it's full of life. Originally, Huo Xiaolu was worried that the car would not be able to drive in, but when he got closer, he found that there was a small road in the forest that had been artificially opened up, although it was crooked and very narrow, but the vehicle could barely pass, and with the skillful driving skills of the fire glass, there was no problem.
"Shouldn't this place be off the beaten track, how can there be such a path?" Huo Xiaolu asked.
Huo Liuli lowered the throttle and explained while driving the vehicle carefully: "This road was opened up when the tomb of the prince of the Qing Dynasty was built, although outsiders did not dare to come here later, but it has not been abandoned over the years. ”
"Huh? In that case, wouldn't the mausoleum have already been turned upside down by the tomb robbers? What's the point of us coming this time? ”
Before Huo Liuli could answer, a chuckle came from outside the car window: "If this is so easy to steal, this place won't interest us." ”
Huo Xiaolu immediately heard the owner of the voice, and said in surprise: "Yin Lord! ”
