Chapter 397: The Villain in the Tree
What is written in the book is dead, and even if Liutao can be fully understood, the only person who can really use it is Jiang Shang. Jiang Shang can pinch and calculate, I can't be sure whether what he said is true or false, but since he can know in advance that someone is going to do something to him, at least it means that he has the ability.
This time, our forces are much weaker than Dongyue, and with someone like Jiang Shang by our side, it will be difficult to win the upper hand. In the first battle, Dongyue must win, so he will definitely come to chase after the Qingcheng Mountain Dao people, and he can only provoke them before Dongyue and Jiang Shang have reached the point of mutual trust.
I only hope that Dongyue can be tricked and transfer Jiang Shang away, and I still have enough confidence to deal with Dongyue, it is nothing more than the second Northern Emperor.
Without delaying here, all the way to a place called 'Lao Ya Mountain', here is nearly an hour away from Qingcheng Mountain, snatched the Yin Si war horse and galloped, it didn't take long to arrive at Lao Ya Mountain, there are many withered vines and old trees on the mountain, and only then did you see the Qingcheng Taoist priest on the mountain when you go deep into the mountain forest.
The Taoist priest of Qingcheng knew me and never stopped me, and when he arrived at the top of the mountain, he saw Huang Yunqiu and Sun Siren, and the two of them were worried, and they were relieved to see me returning, and I shook my head at them, "If you fail to kill Jiang Shang, you have to send someone to guard the front, and if there is an old man with a white head among the people who comes for a while, we will leave immediately." ”
Sun Siren should be good, arrange it, I looked around at the Taoist priests, talking and laughing, all this time I came to visit the mountains and rivers, I can't help but be a little worried, they were born in a peaceful and prosperous era, there is no sense of worry, such Qingcheng Mountain, compared to the Qingcheng Mountain that was gathered because of the war two thousand years ago, it is much weaker and too much.
Sun Siren returned after arranging, and when he saw that I was looking at these Taoist priests, he was also full of helplessness, "They haven't even seen the enemy, so that's the only way." ”
When I was talking to Sun Siren, I heard the Taoist priest exclaim, and all the Taoist priests immediately gathered around and stepped forward, and got together to discuss, we all got up in surprise, but when we just got up, we saw that the old tree on the old crow mountain actually had a light green light point appeared, and in an instant the old crow mountain seemed to be shrouded by countless fireflies, which was both weird and mysterious.
The Taoist priests looked up at this scene and were amazed, and after a while, there was a chirping birdsong from the mountain, and then looked up at the branches of these old trees, the light points condensed, and there were countless beautiful people manifested on the trees, and there were about six or seven on each tree.
There is also a tree next to us, and when we look closely, these beauties are only four or five inches long, about a dozen centimeters, hairless, white as jade, although they are small, they have everything, their facial features are clear, and they are extremely handsome.
Thousands of beauties were churning and running on the branches, and only then did they gather around the Taoist priests and straightened up, one of them was holding this kind of beauty in his hand, seeing so many little people on the Old Crow Mountain, they were not afraid at all, but they were full of curiosity, and they reached out, and those little beauties turned over and jumped into their palms, or staggered, or turned their heads, which was very interesting.
The three of us looked at it for a while, and then stretched out our hands, and the beauties on the branches jumped into our hands, also dancing and churning in our hands, Huang Yunqiu and Sun Siren looked at them vigilantly for a while, and then smiled, "They are so cute." ”
Another Taoist disciple stepped forward with a little beauty in his hand and asked Sun Siren curiously, "Master, how can there be such a small person in this world?" Could it be that we have broken into the realm of the legendary Lilliputian? ”
Huang Yunqiu also looked at Sun Siren, Sun Siren looked at me, and I stared at the little people in the palm of my hand, they all looked different, graceful, light steps, like birds, the only thing they have in common is that their eyebrows are full of sorrow, as if they have grievances. I said to the little man in my hand, "Can you speak?" ”
The little man in my hand seemed to understand my words, but he couldn't speak, and all he could do was chirp birds.
Seeing that I tried to talk to them, this disciple smiled, "They may have grown from trees, and they are not dangerous, and they are petite and cute, and they can also relieve their fatigue and difficulties with them, and the land of China is really wonderful." ”
Seeing that I didn't reply, Sun Siren could only say when I didn't know what they were, so he said, "They don't know where they came from, don't take them with you, let them go back to the tree, and don't hurt them." ”
The Taoist said, "Take them with you......
Sun Siren frowned, this Taoist disciple didn't dare to say anything more, so he had to say, "Yes." Then he retreated, but instead of letting them go immediately, he continued to let them churn in his hands.
I searched all the records about villains in my head, "Night Rain and Autumn Lantern Record", "Other Country Cave Meditation Records", "Reading Wei Caotang Notes", "Shan Hai Jing" There are records about villains, among which the closest to the current status quo is the tree hole villain recorded in the "Night Rain and Autumn Lantern Record", living in the tree hole, the size is about the same, but the tree hole villain in the record has men, women and children, and they are all wearing clothes, and they will wear bows and arrows on their waists.
There are discrepancies with the old crow mountain, I don't think so, I wanted to let go of the villain in my hand, but she herself didn't want to leave, holding my little finger and not letting go, I smiled when I saw this, and took it back, Sun Siren also smiled, "They are very clingy." ”
I said, "It's not a good thing, you look at this old crow mountain, all the trees and vines on the mountain are withered, but the mountains and forests next to it are lush and green, and they have a lot to do with it. ”
Sun Siren sighed, took out a small grain of cinnabar, I put this grain of cinnabar in the palm of my hand, the little man in the palm of my hand was suddenly shocked when he saw this, he refused to leave before, and when he saw the cinnabar, he jumped back to the tree, standing on the trunk of the tree and crossed his waist to make a birdsong at me, as if scolding me.
I was shocked when I saw this, and hurriedly shouted, "Let them go back, this is a feminine thing!" "Yin and yang are mutually reinforcing, and some things are difficult to detect, and can only be known after temptation.
When the Taoist priests heard my voice, they were unmoved, and said to me, "Such a small feminine thing is not as good as a piece of tomb jade, what is there to be afraid of." ”
I glared at the Taoist priest who spoke, he was a little scared, so he wanted to let them go back, but they all held the fingers of the Taoist priest and refused to leave, the Taoist priest couldn't bear it, Sun Siren also said, "Let them go, such a small yin thing is indeed not necessarily a threat." ”
I frowned, took out my sword, brushed away the fallen leaves on the ground, and scratched a mark on the dirt, and said, "Look at what's on the ground." ”
Everyone looked down, and what was exposed in the soil was actually Sensen's white bones, and they each brushed away the soil under their feet, and what they found was all white bones, and everyone was shocked, and felt that the villain in their hands was weird, so they used magic weapons to drive them away.
Sun Siren and the others were shocked by the scene under their feet, and said in amazement, "I'm afraid that thousands of people have died on this mountain." ”
I crouched down, brushed some more dirt away from the ground, found a lot of arrows, knives and guns left, got up and said, "An army has died on this mountain. ”
"Killed?" Sun Siren asked.
I looked at the old trees, shook my head and said, "Suicide, I know where these little people come from." When I said this, everyone listened, and I said, "This thing is called a flower spirit, it is a kind of ghost, as long as there are more than three people hanging themselves in the same tree, their grievances will form flowers, although the flowers are not aggressive, but they can affect people's emotions, once they get along with them for a long time, they will become depressed, and even have suicidal tendencies, you see if the bones are all under the trunk." ”
The crowd rushed to check and see what was all there, and they replied, "It's all under the trunk." ”
I've been thinking about Lilliputians before.,Didn't think about ghosts.,So the information I got was completely wrong.,After learning that this thing is a yin thing, I changed the direction to collect information.,This thing is not the first time it has appeared.,It was mentioned once in "Zi Bu Yu".,But it's just one.,Now there are so many on this mountain.,It means that this army is all suicide.,And all of them hanged themselves.。
Sun Siren and Huang Yunqiu were afraid that it was the first time they had seen such a grand occasion, so they only said, "Thousands of people, why did they die en masse on this mountain?" Could it be that he was besieged in the mountains and had no way to retreat before he chose to commit suicide? ”
I said, "Probably not, they have swords and guns, if they are besieged, they will definitely choose to fight to the death, and this Old Crow Mountain will not be able to form a siege." It should be a soldier who is on the expedition, but the commander has surrendered, or the country is ruined, and he is so disappointed that he chooses to hang himself. "I said and saluted the bones on the ground, although it was speculation, but the soldiers in the war, whether they surrendered or died in battle, were all heroes.
Everyone listened silently, and also saluted them, and proposed to recite the mantra of the past life, but I stopped them, and said, "Restore the bones under your feet to their original state, bury them with soil and fallen leaves, and then leave some magic weapons and banners neatly on the mountain, don't let people see the slightest intention of escaping, this place is so interesting, let it be given to Dongyue them." ”
