Text Chapter 60: The Crow Under the Maple Tree
"Brother Nightfire......" Satsuki stopped.
"Go back, you can't survive in nature with your skills, you only have one life, you have to cherish it. Nightfire looked at Satsuki and said.
"No problem, I'm not afraid. Satsuki said calmly.
"Impossible! you give me back!" Nightfire glared angrily, not letting go.
Satsuki knew that it was useless to say anything, she showed her answer with practical actions, and in the face of Yehuo's angry eyes, she walked forward step by step, her eyes looking firmly ahead.
"Can't you understand if I told you to go back?" Nightfire roared and opened his arms, his fists clenched and his muscles bulged.
"Enough, my strength is enough!" Satsuki shouted stubbornly!
"You're still far away! Roar!" At this moment, the night fire suddenly let out a heaven-shattering roar! Immediately afterward, his body skyrocketed! Kong Wu's powerful body instantly became several times larger than before!
What was even more terrifying was that a huge figure suddenly appeared behind him! The figure became clear in an instant! It was a blue-faced demon with red hair dancing wildly! Two huge curly horns were as sharp as sharp knives! A mouthful of sharp teeth seemed to be able to bite through everything! A pair of scarlet eyes burst out into a cloud of essence light and then dissipated into nothingness!
"Ahh
"How? If you're afraid, get back to me!" Nightfire's eyes widened, and his originally handsome face was now hideous.
"What are you?" Satsuki asked suddenly.
"What?" Night Fire froze.
"In what capacity are you talking to me?" Satsuki asked again.
"......" the night fire was silent.
"You can't stop me without a reasonable identity. After saying that, Satsuki walked straight past the night fire.
"Little Sister ......"
Nightfire spoke again, and the latter stopped for a moment.
"Listen to my brother's advice, go back, no one can be a sage, big brother he regrets it, he doesn't want to disturb your quiet life anymore. ”
"There is no regret medicine in the world, and now that I am on the boat, how can I go down easily?"
Listening to Xiao Yue's firm tone, Yehuo finally stopped insisting, he turned around, and looked at his little sister with a soft gaze stretched out a palm, and a piece of fresh raw meat lay quietly in his palm.
"What is this?" Satsuki looked at the night fire suspiciously.
"Crows are not vegetarians. "Three directions, three choices, three crows, choose one of them, and your decision will determine whether you can reach the final destination." ”
"I see, thank you, Brother Nightfire. Satsuki took the piece of meat and bowed, turned around and ran towards the mountain.
Looking at Xiao Yue's distant back, Yehuo turned around and muttered to himself: "I'm sorry little sister, my brother lied to you, but this is also what the eldest brother meant, everything depends on your wisdom." ”
Towering ancient pines grow on both sides of the road, dark green pine needles sway in the breeze, the full moon is already hanging high, and as the night is deep, Satsuki's thoughts return to 10 years ago.
"Brother Nightblade, tell us quickly, why can't you go to Lingfeng?" a child shouted.
"Hehehe, don't worry, I'll tell you. Nightblade touched his head with a smile and said: "Everyone knows that Xia Lan stands in the deep mountains, and it naturally doesn't matter in the village, but once you walk out of the village, it is equivalent to walking into the forest, and there are countless fierce beasts in the deep mountains, and you can't go without an adult." ”
"But is that legend true? Uncle Huck said that if you follow a crow, you will be dragged away by evil spirits. ”
"Yes, yes, if you touch the forbidden land, the gates of Kasumi City will be opened. ”
"The fog of trickery is full of deception, where can you see this fog?"
"Is there really one? a red moon?"
"I want to see the blood-red maple leaves!
Nightblade laughed at the children's barrage of questions: "Hahaha, your imagination is so rich. ”
"Why? Is it a lie?" asked one child.
Nightblade laughed a few more times before sitting down cross-legged and said: "Children, listen, there may be some phenomena beyond nature in this world, but most of them can be explained by our knowledge, legends are legends after all, if you follow the crows, you will really be dragged away by evil spirits, I am afraid that the human race will be wiped out long ago, the thick fog is indeed full of lies, because there are sinister beasts hidden in it, the red moon is an illusion created by the red glow powder, and the Kasumi City in Uncle Huck's mouth does not exist at all." ”
"What if they come?" Just then, a weak female voice rang out from behind the crowd.
Everyone fell silent for a moment, and they all looked back at the girl who spoke, and Nightblade's gaze was particularly hot.
"Who's here?" asked Nightblade.
Xiao Yue's voice trembled suddenly, but she still mustered up the courage to ask, "Those beasts, whether they are real or legendary, if they come, what are we going to do?"
Nightblade stared at Satsuki, and for a moment, he smiled and said, "No problem. ”
"What?" Satsuki was stunned when she heard this.
"My eldest brother said it's okay!" the voice of the night fire came again, and the next second he walked over with the night wind and the night feather back then.
"Listen to me, little devils!" Nightfire shouted with open arms, "A few of us, but we will become the pillars of the future Xialan!
"It's worthy of Brother Nightfire!!" the children cheered.
As everyone cheered, the surrounding voices became noisy, but Satsuki saw that Nightblade was still looking at her, and the voice in her ears seemed to suddenly stop.
"Listen, Ah Yue, if danger comes, there is only one thing you and everyone have to do, and that is to stand behind me, don't worry, I will block all the wind and rain for you. ”
Nightblade's voice came to Satsuki's ears, and in her shock, Nightblade had already pulled out a flute with a smile, and the next moment, a beautiful and elegant tone came out slowly, floating over the entire village......
"Gah!" a shrill cry woke Satsuki up.
Looking up, I don't know when I have come to a fork in the road, and in front of Satsuki are three mountain roads, needless to say, I also know that there are three different directions, and only one of them is correct.
There is a small road sign at the intersection of the three roads of "Crow ......", but the words on the road sign are no longer visible because of the perennial wind and sun, but there is a crow standing on each of the three road signs.
"......Quack" The crows flapped their wings and screamed when they saw Satsuki's hand, and when they saw the fresh meat in Satsuki's hands, they fluttered.
"It's... Which one to choose..."
Xiao Yue stepped forward and handed the meat in his hand forward, and the three crows immediately leaned their heads over at the same time to grab the piece of meat, Xiao Yue quickly withdrew her hand when she saw this, and the three crows had to withdraw their heads.
The evening breeze is blowing, and it is late at night, but the moon today is exceptionally bright, and in the bright moonlight, the three crows look a little bewitching.
"It's not too early, you have to choose one. Xiaoyue had no choice but to step forward again.
"There must be a difference, you can't rely on luck, it's..."
Just when Satsuki was hesitating, she suddenly noticed a phenomenon, the maple trees that could be seen everywhere along the way had become sparse here.
"No......" Satsuki looked at the first crow, behind which grew an iron thorn tree, behind the second was the emerald vine tree, and the third was the cold arrow tree.
"There's a problem!"
Xiao Yue exclaimed, and at this moment, a crow suddenly flew over like lightning and bit the raw meat in her hand, and the other two were not far behind, and quickly rushed over!
"Ahh
Xiao Yue was shocked when she saw this, and hurriedly pulled back with all her might, but the other two crows also flew at this time and pecked her on the arm!
"No, I can't give it to you! If you lose it, you lose!"
Xiao Yue endured the pain in her arm, and pulled the piece of raw meat back with all her might, but there was still half of the meat bitten off by the crow, but Xiao Yue couldn't care about it anymore, and grabbed the remaining half of the meat with both hands and turned around and ran.
There was a crow behind her, Xiao Yue didn't dare to turn back and run desperately, I don't know how long later, she was exhausted, and she couldn't hear the crow's cry in her ears, so she squatted down with a tree.
"Night Moon, calm down, now is not the time to be anxious, this is Brother Nightblade's test for you, you must be calm. Satsuki closed her eyes and cheered herself up, and suddenly a leaf fell on her head.
"This is Maple Leaf. Satsuki picked up the leaf, and after seeing it clearly, she quickly stood up and looked up.
It was a maple tree! The thick trunk of the tree could not surround even a few people! And most importantly, in the treetops, stood a crow!
"The Iron Thorn Tree has a thick skin, if this represents Sister Night Feather with the power of protection, then the tough Emerald Vine Tree represents the strong Brother Night Fire, and the branches of the Cold Arrow Tree are like Brother Night Wind's feather arrows. ”
"The maple tree is the most common tree in Xialan, unpretentious and without any dazzling places, but it is densely surrounded by Xialan Village, I believe that this simple maple tree must represent you. ”
With that, Satsuki raised her head to look up at the crow overhead, and the crow tilted its head to look at Satsuki, and suddenly flapped its wings and flew down and landed on the branch in front of her.
"Come, give it to you. Xiao Yue took out the remaining small piece of meat and said timidly: "I'm sorry, it's only so little, can you lead the way for me?"
The crow looked at Satsuki silently, suddenly opened his mouth to grasp the small piece of meat, and flew high into the air with his wings.
On the high mountain, the beautiful sound of the flute flowed from the bamboo flute in the man's hand, and suddenly, he frowned slightly, but the flute did not stop, behind him, a figure swayed, quietly leaving his side.
