Chapter 262: The Divine Lord is Tiny
After resealing the evil power of the Source Sin Blood Pool in the Immortal Lake Temple, Ouyang Xiaoleng and the others returned to the previous lake along the same path. The crane boat was still waiting for them, and one of the cranes lowered the rope he was holding, which hung right above their heads, for them to climb back into the basket.
After flipping into the hanging basket, they realized that the fog on the lake was not as thick as before, and when they looked down from the sky, the giant strange fish in the lake had completely disappeared for some reason. The empty shore of the lake looks like a lifeless picture, like the heart of everyone in the hanging basket, only the reeds that sway gently in the wind prove that there is still life here.
They couldn't wait to say goodbye to the Yuhe Immortal and hurriedly left Xianhe Spring Township, and embarked on the road back to the royal city of Yongchuan, along the way, everyone just rode on their respective demon horses, and no one wanted to say more, for fear that a certain sentence would poke at the bottom of each other's hearts.
But the thorn appeared suddenly, and before they could see him, they heard the distinctive cry of the thorn bird, tearing the silence that had been enveloping the people all along.
The little red finch transformed by the thorns turned back into the tall red-haired young man a second before he landed, and when he looked at it, he knew that Ouyang Xiaoleng and the others had not succeeded in rescuing Xia Qiu in the Immortal Lake Temple, so he didn't ask much, just respectfully saluted Ouyang Xiaoleng and the others, and then said, "Lord Yong and the manager of the underground database of Ouyang Ancient Mansion have something for me to bring to you. ”
"No need to be polite, Thorns! Let's talk about it! Ouyang Hongye couldn't wait to say.
"They are all helping to find the tribute from the Songshan Temple, but I'm afraid it will still take some time, so Lord Yong asked you to go directly to the gate of Yinsongshan and wait for the tribute to be found, and then I will send it to you!" In addition, I have heard from people who have recently passed by that mountain that there have been large black wolves and monsters in the mountain recently, and Yong-sama wants you to be careful! ”
The thorns didn't bring any good news, which somewhat disappointed Ouyang Hongye and them, but he still cheered up and responded: "Okay, thank you for your hard work!" ”
"That...... How's the snow rabbit doing? Mochizuki asked him before the thorns left.
"It seems that it is not very good all of a sudden, although there is no obstacle in movement, but the color that has faded on the skin seems to have suddenly appeared again!" Thorn was afraid that Mochizuki would mention the snow rabbit, but after hesitating for a moment, he decided to tell him the truth.
"That's right, alas!"
Mochizuki's face was even more gloomy than just now, and he could think that after the symptoms recurred again, the snow rabbit would be very scared, but now he had no other choice but to continue to rush to the hidden pine where Qingyun might be and get the antidote to save her.
The Songshan Temple is located in the Hidden Pine in the northeast of the royal city, and the last time Mochizuki encountered the Yaksha in the Hidden Song, and because of this, he fell for his tricks, so that after he was escorted back to the Chenji Palace, he had the opportunity to sneak attack Ouyang Xiaoleng. In addition, his former friend Dao Lance also died here, so he always felt a little uncomfortable coming to this place again.
Compared to the other two shrines, the location of the Matsuyama Shrine is not mysterious, but it is in the deepest part of the Hidden Pine. By the time they arrived outside the mountain gate, it was already evening, and they had to wait for Thorns to bring them the tribute of the Matsuyama Temple, that is, the feathers of the nine-headed bird, so everyone decided on a place to settle down after deliberation.
Just as they were preparing their tents to rest, suddenly an unusual aura came from the mountain gate, and it kept moving in their direction. Ouyang Xiaoleng listened attentively and was sure that it was the voice of the wolves. He said to the others, "There's a big pack of wolves approaching this way, and I think they seem to be chasing something!" ”
"Could it have something to do with the wolves that Thorn mentioned recently appeared in the mountains? I remember that there were no wolves in the past, right? Ouyang Hongye turned to Mochizuki and asked.
"Well, but isn't the one who follows Qingyun called Black Fall a group of black wolves?" Mochizuki was also alert, and as he responded, he opened his stance and prepared to meet the enemy who could appear at any time.
"It's coming!" Ouyang Xiaoleng reminded them again.
There were hundreds of wolves rushing in the distance, and when they ran, they rolled up the dust on the ground like a large dark cloud. Chased in front of them was a thin figure, stumbling to dodge the wolves, ready to be swallowed up by the clouds behind her.
"Look! It looks like a little girl! ”
Spirit Feather flew out like a bullet, and ran straight for the little girl who was being chased by the wolves, and took her off the ground in an instant. One of the wolves below jumped up and nearly bit them.
The girl's body didn't weigh much, and when Ling Yu was holding her, she happened to feel a bloody wound on the outside of her thigh, and her entire face was obscured by her messy long hair, and she couldn't see her appearance clearly, except for the pale arms sticking out of her half-torn sleeves.
Thousands of horsemen faced the wolves chasing Lingyu, and performed the technique of controlling water, forming countless high-headed horses, which crashed straight towards the wolves. The wolves could not resist the powerful impact of the horses formed by the water, and many of them were injured by it, and one of them let out a long "whoosh" into the air, and the whole pack retreated back through the mountain gate with it.
Ling Yu took the girl and landed beside his companion, Ouyang Hongye pulled out a blanket from the tent and spread it on the ground, allowing Ling Yu to temporarily put the girl on top.
“……”
A faint sound came from the girl's throat, but no one could hear what she was saying, and Ling Yu leaned his ear closer to finally understand her needs.
"She wants water!" He turned to the others and said.
"Give it to her!" Ouyang Hongye said as he unscrewed the kettle and handed it to Ling Yu.
Lingyu carefully lifted her head from the blanket, then aimed the spout of the kettle at her mouth, tilting the body slightly. The girl took a few weak sips, then quickly regained some strength, snatched the kettle from his hand, and drank it herself in a big gulp.
The water in the kettle was quickly drained by her, and she shook it upside down, and when she saw that there was not a drop left, she continued to shout: "Water! ”
"How long has she been thirsty?!" Reluctantly, Mochizuki handed her her own kettle.
The girl drank the pot of water again before wiping her mouth contentedly. She looked around Sizheng with an alert gaze at every face around her, and then quickly hid behind Lingyu like a frightened little animal, grabbing his clothes tightly.
"Little girl, don't be afraid! Who are you? Why are you being chased by wolves? Ouyang Hongye asked in the gentlest tone.
The girl heard her face peeking out a little from behind Lingyu, hesitated for a few seconds, and then hid back again.
Ouyang Hongye had no choice but to glance at Ling Yu, and after Ling Yu understood what he meant, he turned around and stroked the girl's hair and said, "Good boy, don't worry, you're safe!" ”
He pulled away the hair that stood in front of the girl's face, revealing her little face, which was a little dirty, but still difficult to hide her beauty. It's just that those apricot eyes are full of fear, and I think it was because I was greatly frightened.
Ouyang Hongye saw that she refused to speak no matter what, so he decided to treat the wounds on her body first. He tentatively reached out to her, and she tried to run away at first, but with Ling Yu's comfort, she finally began to calm down.
"Ahh The moment the wound was touched, the little girl's body trembled with pain, and she couldn't help but cry out.
"So she's not dumb!" The thousand horsemen also gathered around and said.
Seeing that Ouyang Hongye not only gave her water to drink, but also healed her wounds, the girl gradually became no longer afraid, and said, "My name is Xiaoxiao, and I am the god master of Songshan Temple. ”
"You're not kidding, are you?! Are you a god?! Chiki asked with a wink of disbelief.
"Exactly!" The girl said unquestionably.
"But shouldn't your body be occupied by the Four Gods? What the hell is going on? Ouyang Hongye was also skeptical of this girl's words.
"They burst into my temple and tried to capture me, but my attendant Chu He took the poisoned arrows they shot for me and told me to escape. But I've been being chased by wolves these days, and I have no chance to escape from the Hidden Pine, and I was almost killed by them just now. "The little novel has already cried into tears by this point, and the tears are dusty, forming two black marks on the face.
"Aren't you a god? Why can't even a pack of wolves be beaten? Chiki asked.
"I ...... I'm not good at fighting, I've always been fighting my Red Deer Attendant Chu He, I'm the soul of an indigo bird living in seclusion, and my ability is limited to using song to increase the combat power and defense of my companions. The little girl heard that everyone didn't trust her, and she felt even more aggrieved.
"The god Qiansu is really a strange person, he would let such a little girl be the god master!" Mochizuki shook his head and said.
"Then who is controlling the Matsuyama Temple now?"
As soon as she heard Ouyang Xiaoleng ask like this, the little girl cried even more sadly, and her voice became choked and choked.
"First ...... He ......, and then I secretly ran back to the temple, but ...... He doesn't recognize me anymore! It's all because I'm too cowardly, and if I don't run away, he won't have to replace me......"
"How many days have it been since you escaped?" Ouyang Hongye then asked her.
"It's been nine days!"
"It's not too long, and there is probably still a chance to regain Chu He's body!"
As soon as Xiaoxiao heard Ouyang Hongye say this, she suddenly stopped crying, and asked with a pair of big eyes, "Are you willing to help me rescue Chu He?!" ”
"Our friends were captured by that gang too, so we had to go there in the first place! But now we have to wait here for a while, because the tribute of the Matsuyama shrine ...... Wait, God is here! ”
"That's right, what else is there to pay tribute to?!" Qianqi said and turned to Xiao Xiao and asked, "Hey, with your strength, you can enter the Matsuyama Temple at any time, right?" ”
Xiao Xiao nodded affirmatively and replied, "Yes! But only if we can reach the entrance of the temple, what you just saw is only a small part of the wolves, but in addition to these wolves, there are many monsters lurking in the mountains, and it is not easy to get close to the temple! ”
