Chapter 39: The Inheritance of Mountain Ghosts
"By the way, there are a lot of old subordinates of me and your father in this mountain, do you have time to get in touch?" Mother Xiaoyue suddenly said to Mu Qingyang as if she remembered something.
"Tell me your story, okay?" Mu Qingyang has always been yearning for the legend of mountain ghosts.
"It's just a silly little priest who fell in love with that stupid youkai, and then there was the story of you, the little one. What is there to talk about......"
"Is this where you used to live?" Mu Qingyang was a little curious, it looked empty here, why a mural was specially carved on it.
"I guess your father used to live...... At that time, he made a mistake and was locked up here by the Great Elder of the Wei Clan. ”
"What's so serious about locking him up?"
"The relationship between him and me is a big taboo for both families, just as it is often unacceptable to intermarry between different races of human beings, although the two families are interdependent of companion families, but the future patriarch of one family and the only priestess of the other family are always a little shocking together!"
"It looks like you once had a vigorous love."
Actually, we later learned the reason why the two families rarely intermarried. We have lived together for a long time without children, and it turns out that it is almost impossible for the combination of demon clans of different bloodlines to give birth to offspring......"
"And how did I get here?"
"Your birth was an accident, it was the gods who fulfilled us!"
"Mom, what are you kidding, how can there be gods in this world?" Mu Qingyang couldn't help but shake his head.
"What about us? If you can accept the existence of monsters and ghosts, why can't you admit that there are gods in this world? ”
"Even if he had, how could he help you? I've read it in books, whether it's a god or a demon, it's probably all the same magnitude of characters, right? ”
"But he's the first Nether god after the Great War of the Ancients!" Xiao Yue's face was full of horror, maybe for her, this god was really different.
"In any case, your birth is indeed a blessing to him, and in the more than 2,000 years since we got married, you were our first child...... But I'm afraid it's the only child! Xiaoyue's mother touched Mu Qingyang's head again and said.
"Scared! Are you over two thousand years old? Mu Qingyang was full of excitement, doesn't that mean that he will live so long? What about Qingqing!
"Don't be afraid, your little girlfriend isn't an ordinary person." The old mother seemed to see Mu Qingyang's worries and comforted him.
"How do you know?"
"She's also one of my targets...... Belch...... It's nothing, you don't have to worry about it. Mom's expression was embarrassed.
"I still have something to do, you can rest first. Your cousin will take care of everything, don't worry......"
She seemed to have suddenly remembered something, hurriedly scratched the air in front of her, and said it was like a dream, and she said it was coming, and she was leaving......
Mu Qingyang was the only one left in the empty cave, and his mother was not there, he almost had the urge to take out the book and summon Liao Qin and them, but thinking about the four Mu Mu's stupid half-human and half-ghost appearances, he couldn't help but sigh and dispelled this idea.
I touched the mural on the wall, and suddenly remembered that since my foot injury had healed, why didn't I go out for a walk?
The hole that ran through the outside diagonally upwards was very smooth, and Rao is Mu Qingyang was now nimble, and it really took a lot of effort to barely climb out.
"Whew...... It's so comfortable! ”
The gray sky had a whitening cloud gap, and the blue sky could be seen farther away, the cloud gap was larger, and a ray of sunlight shone through the gold-rimmed gap, which looked dazzling and sacred against the background of the twilight and dreary.
Outside, there is a world of freshness after the rain, walking on the green path, the sun warmly casts long or mottled shadows from the trees and leaves, which is both warm and cool. Shuttling in the light and shadow, like the mountain breeze in the forest, casual and casual. Mu Qingyang walked comfortably as he wanted, couldn't help but close his eyes and breathe affectionately, the mountain wind, the green trees, the stream...... It's all sucked into my heart, it's so beautiful! Mu Qingyang sighed softly from the bottom of his heart!
The wind blows, the trees in the distance ripple waves, the sound is like thunder, from far to near, from near to far, a moment to the east, a moment to the west, like a drunken person, some tragic, also some desolate, the waves cover the chirping of the birds, the clouds in the sky under the agitation of the wind, moving quickly in the sky, staring a little dazzling, a little dizzy. The weeds in the vicinity are also blown up by the wind, and the waddles on the tips of the grass are lifted by the wind and flutter in the sun, which leads people to infinite reverie.
"It's a dream world......
Randomly found a tree to sit down, and at this time Mu Qingyang found the feeling of traveling, and enjoyed this rare tranquility in it.
"Pretty good, right?"
"Hmm...... Well? ”
Suddenly, a voice sounded in his ears, and Mu Qingyang unconsciously agreed, only to realize that someone was beside him.
The person who came was a young man, who was looking at Mu Qingyang from the tree at this time, his brown eyes flashed, like a pair of shiny gems shining brightly. Through the colorful shadows, his clothes were also dyed with patches of moire, as if they were integrated with the environment.
"Hello!"
"Hello, young master!"
"You ......"
"My name is Red Leopard, and I was asked by Lord Mountain Ghost to take care of you."
"And me!" A delicate little girl came out from behind the tree silently, not tall but very energetic, grinning and revealing two small pointed canine teeth. "I'm Wen Li, Young Master."
"You...... Hello! Mu Qingyang was stunned for a moment and immediately smiled bitterly, it seems that this old mother who has not seen him for many years is really not worried about him alone! But it was exactly what he wanted, and now Mu Qingyang didn't know why he was always afraid of being alone, and he wished that someone could come and talk to him...... Not to mention two?
"Young master, your alertness is too poor, you need to exercise well!" The red leopard frowned, and jumped down from the tree with a serious face, and there was no sound.
"You're so rude!" Wen Lixi suddenly hid behind Mu Qingyang, stuck out his tongue at him and made a grimace. Just now, the red leopard was clearly rushing towards her, but it didn't seem to have succeeded.
"Wen Li, you don't need you here, it's enough for the young master to have me by his side!" The red leopard bared its teeth, revealing a blood-red mouth and Bai Sensen's giant teeth, and roared in a low voice.
"You brute, you're superfluous!" Although Wen Li's stature was small, he was not to be outdone and yelled at him.
"Don't make any noise!"
"You two are also famous monsters, as for fighting when you meet like this?"
Seeing that the two guys were about to scuffle again, he hurriedly stood between them and said.
"Young Master, this guy will only do bad things, it's better for you not to take her with you." The red leopard still looked reluctant, and the cool face was full of how much I hated her.
Wen Li's eyes rolled and pretended not to hear. Pointing to the small waterfall in the distance, he said to Mu Qingyang: "Young master, that is Wujiao's territory, shall we go over and play with him?" ”
"No! Xiao Wu is now preparing to become an adult, and it is a critical time, so you can't disturb him. The red leopard coldly stopped.
"Isn't it just molting? It's not like I haven't seen it, what are you afraid of! ”
It seems that this Wen Lifu is really not a character who keeps to himself?
Although Mu Qingyang was curious, he was a little reluctant to see the meaning of the red leopard, so he couldn't help but persuade Wen Li to say: "Since Brother Red Leopard said that people are inconvenient now, why don't you talk about it another day?" ”
"Young master, there are two night pearls in Wujiao, so big!" Wen Li's two hands compared, it seemed to be the size of a fist, and then bewitched him: "Don't listen to the old old words of the red leopard, he never gets along with everyone, and he can't get along with anyone." ”
"What nonsense are you talking about, we are guarding this family holy place for our master, don't forget, there are still a lot of guys here who are ready to move, have you forgotten all about it?" The red leopard's face tensed even tighter.
"You will use this as an excuse, the master has been gone for so many years, which of them dares to move their minds? Besides, now the young master is back...... Why don't you take him to familiarize yourself with our place? Wen Lixi shouted unconvinced, and then simply pulled Mu Qingyang's sleeve and walked directly to the waterfall.
"Let's go, don't pay attention to that weird guy who doesn't understand the world."
It seemed that this kind of thing was already commonplace, and although the red leopard gritted his teeth with hatred, he still followed them panting. Mu Qingyang was a little worried about him, and quietly asked Wen Li, "Brother Red Leopard won't be angry, right?" ”
"Snort...... He's just a stubborn head, don't worry, we've been used to it for so many years...... But to be honest, I haven't seen my master so happy in a long time...... Although, we haven't seen each other for years? Wen Li smiled reluctantly, but Mu Qingyang could see that she had a stomach full of grievances.
"Why, Mom rarely comes to see you all?"
"Of course, the master is very busy, and every time she comes back, she is in a hurry, and this time the young master is still the longest time she has stayed!"
"The master has serious things to do, how can you be like you, who makes trouble all day long and doesn't do your job?" The red leopard rushed over from behind and interjected, glaring at her fiercely.
"You care about me?" The civet's small nostrils are higher than the sky.
"You two are really endless, isn't it interesting?"
Mu Qingyang was still afraid of loneliness just now, but now he only felt that they were really annoying enough. took out the majesty of the chief and reprimanded the two people who were not very old, only to find that they had already walked in front of the waterfall.
When I got closer, I found that this place was a huge waterhole, and the waterfall rushed down to the sky, and the huge sound was like the roar of a wild lion, which was deafening. Hitting the surface of the water, the water waves rippled, and it stirred up a splash like white waves, and the momentum was like a galloping horse, which made people's blood boil.
"Great place!"
Mu Qingyang couldn't help blurting out praise, this is a unique place.
Like a civet cat, he jumped behind the silver-white water curtain and shouted with a sharp voice: "Come on!" ”
Mu Qingyang looked at the pool that was several feet wide and the waterfall like an angry dragon, and couldn't help but take a few steps back.
The red leopard just laughed dryly on the side, and it seemed that the first-level thug next to this old mother didn't have the heart to help him at all.
Gritting his teeth, when Mu Qingyang was about to swim into the water, the red leopard finally sighed and walked over.
"Young master, I found that you are too strong!"
With a low roar in his throat, he turned his body on the spot, and a huge spotted leopard showed its true body, its white fur embroidered with cloud patterns, shining in the sunlight and mist, and it looked even more abnormal!
"Come up! I'll take you there. ”
A little embarrassed to sit on it, only to feel that the fur under it trembled slightly, it seemed that it was also a little nervous like Mu Qingyang; However, because of the environment here, he was a little uncomfortable being ridden by outsiders for the first time.
Suddenly, there was a wind in my ears, and I was cold, and I had already broken through the water curtain to the cave, only to find that this place was very dry, and a path zigzagged and went straight to the deepest part.
"Right ahead!"
Far away, in the deepest part of the world, the voice of the civet came.
The red leopard waited for Mu Qing to come down, shook his head and recovered his body and said, "Young master, let's go quickly." Brother Wu can't be disturbed right now, and it won't be possible if he goes mad! ”
"Is Wujiao also my mother's subordinate?" Mu Qingyang asked as he walked.
"Yes! Brother Wujiao is a hot-blooded man, and he is the most loyal subordinate of his master. ”
"He hasn't incarnated yet?" Mu Qingyang asked a little strangely.
"Jiao is a dragon species, born with extraordinary talents, brave and strong, but because of this, every step of his advancement is extremely difficult, a full three thousand years...... It's not easy to get this far. The red leopard couldn't help but sigh.
"Three thousand years! God. Mu Qingyang said.
"Oh my God? Hehe......" The red leopard pursed his lips and did not say any more.
Walking through a winding passage, a wide hall appeared in front of me, the walls of which were inlaid with bright pillars, and the light was softly scattered in all corners, making people dizzy.
Wen Li's eyes were shining here.
"This guy just likes these little things that glow, and he can't walk when he sees them." The red leopard looked disdainful.
"Young master, look, how beautiful these little beads are!" Like an ordinary little girl seeing her favorite toy, Wen Liu spun in circles in place.
"Do you like it, ask Wujiao to send you a few?" Mu Qingyang couldn't see the girl like this, so he said pityingly.
"That's not good, these beads of Brother Wujiao are all transformed by his essence, every time the moon is full and he sucks the moonlight, the beads here will help him condense his spiritual power, all of which are indispensable." Wen Lifu was a little frustrated, but shook his head firmly.
Mu Qingyang couldn't help but be a little surprised, he didn't expect this little girl to be so knowledgeable? After thinking about it, the little girl in front of me is also one of the mother's entourage, and she doesn't look big, but she is thousands of years old...... Little girl? I'm afraid that the old can't be any older!
"Wen Li! Is Brother Wujiao still cultivating? The red leopard asked, glancing to the side of a hole.
"I don't know, I didn't dare to alarm him, but he didn't come out after we came in for so long, isn't it a critical time?" Wen Li's voice was much quieter, and it seemed that he was also afraid of disturbing the owner here.
"Let's go in and have a look, we must be careful not to alarm Wu Jiao's cultivation!" The red leopard looked a little worried, and thought for a moment before saying to them.
Mu Qingyang and Wen Li looked at each other and nodded solemnly together......
