Chapter 32: The Patriarch's Tracks

Lan Lan cried for a long time, Su Su sat quietly with Lan Lan, and Bai Xin and Tong Jun silently picked some wild flowers around.

"Mother, Lan Lan didn't become a sacrifice, the three benefactors behind me saved me. Lan Lan placed the wildflowers in front of his mother's grave, "I don't want to go back to the village, don't blame me." You are gone, and your hometown is not as good as the end of the world. I'm going to the north with my benefactor, and I probably won't come to see you often in the future. You've bothered over the years, and I wish you could be with me. I will try to live and be strong enough to live like you. ”

Tong Jun patted Lan Lan on the shoulder and comforted: "Don't worry, we will protect you." ”

Lan Lan turned around and smiled at Tong Jun, the red light of the setting sun was reflected on Lan Lan's fair face, although Lan Lan was sad because of her mother's death, but she tried not to express her sadness, forced a smile and said to Tong Jun: "Well, I believe in you." ”

It's just that Lan Lan endured her grief like this, which made Tong Jun and them even more heartbroken, Tong Jun looked at Lan Lan gently and said, "We all have to live happily." ”

Su Su hugged Lan Lan and nodded firmly. Bai Xin hugged Qinglong and looked into the distance, not knowing what he was thinking.

After Lan Lan worshiped her mother's grave, the four of them got up in the moonlight and began to walk north.

Lan Lan lay on the side of the stream, looked at her pupils curiously, and said, "It's really red? ”

Bai Xin asked, "Are you really not feeling any discomfort?"

Lan Lan glared, shook innocently and said, "No." It's no different from the original. ”

"Your eyes turned red when you entered the sacrificial barrel. Did something happen in the barrel?"

"I was in the midst of a barrel, in the dark, and there was a hint of despair and hatred in my heart, as if it was then that I felt a little stinging in my eyes. ”

"It should be at that time that your power awakened. Bai Xin said with his chin dragged.

"What awakening? Do I have any special powers?" Lan Lan didn't know anything about herself, and asked Bai Xin suspiciously.

"The Taoist priest took great pains to buy you from your father and sacrifice you to the mountain god, you should not be an ordinary person. ”

"Yes, I am so powerful!" Lan Lan said self-deprecatingly. Tong Jun saw that Lan Lan was so cheerful, it seemed that the previous events had not caused her a psychological shadow, and she was gradually relieved.

"I vaguely remember that the mountain god said that you are a sacrificial body, maybe there is some power in your body that has not been discovered!" Although Bai Xin understood why the mountain god wanted to catch Lan Lan, he couldn't pierce it directly, so he found some words and prevaricated.

Lan Lan pouted, grimaced at Bai Xin, and said, "I don't want to be a sacrifice anymore, I want to be with you." ”

Tong Jun hurriedly said to Lan Lan: "Don't worry, no one will want to use you as a sacrifice anymore." ”

When Lan Lan heard Tong Jun say this, she immediately said happily: "Thank you, benefactors." ”

After a tiring day, the four of them found an open place and lit a fire for the night.

Bai Xin squinted his eyes, saw that Tong Jun Susu and Lan Lan were sleeping deeply, and quietly got up and walked away. He hid behind a tree, and a yellow-green fluorescence flashed in front of him, which was the fluorescence that overheard the mountain god and the Taoist priest talking, and Bai Xin said to the light, "You have to do me a favor." ”

The light point said, "Yes." ”

"Although we killed the wild boar today, the mountain god was still escaped by him. ”

"You want me to find the mountain god and destroy it?"

"Well, although those villagers are pedantic, they are also confused by the gossip of the boar monster, they are not bad in nature, I am afraid that the mountain gods will still be unfavorable to them in the future. ”

"Okay, but the mountain god will not be destroyed, I can only seal it. ”

"I see. You see, at least we did our best. ”

"Yes. With that, the yellow-green light flickered and disappeared into the night.

A few people went all the way to the north, but they didn't expect Lan Lan to look weak, but they had done rough work since childhood, and their physical strength was not bad. After a few days, Bai Xin's waist that was injured by the young man's fall gradually recovered.

Although Su Su was as big as a boy when they first met, but after the changes of the Yushi clan, he has been silent, and when he rests, Su Su always looks at the sky silently alone, or meditates quietly cross-legged, and concentrates on practicing stone language with the black gilt golden stone.

After Lan Lan was rescued, she has been in a very good mood, she is actually a very cheerful girl, and she always loves to smile and follow Tong Jun. After Tong Jun told Lan Lan what happened to Su Su, she often accompanied Su Su and made Su Su happy.

On this morning, when they were still hurrying away, they saw a group of people approaching them, some of them carrying large bags to salute, some pushing wooden carts, driving livestock, and many women behind them, or carrying babies on their backs, or leading children, as if fleeing from the famine.

When this group of people saw the four of Bai Xin, they hurriedly stopped and said, "Don't go any further!"

Bai Xin ran over head-on and saluted the group of people in front of him: "Dare to ask Uncle, what happened ahead?"

A middle-aged man with a sad face shook his head and said, "The front is full of poisonous gas, and you can't get by." You guys come with us and turn around and run for your lives!"

Bai Xin said politely: "Thank you Uncle for your concern, but we plan to go to the Central Plains, is there any other way?"

"If you can't get by, go back quickly, you will definitely die if you enter the poisonous gas." An old man came out of the crowd and said.

"I see grandpa, you look like people fleeing the famine, were you forced by poison gas?"

"Yes," said the old man helplessly, "in fact, our village is in the mountain stream not far ahead. ”

"Is it because of the monsters that you have to flee from your original village?"

The old man showed a reluctant expression and said, "So to speak, but that monster has always existed. ”

"Oh, what do you mean?" Lan Lan asked, puzzled.

"That monster is a highly poisonous salamander, in fact, it is not recent, it has been living in the mountains near our village, but in my father's generation, a master came and sealed it in a cave behind the village, and since then it has been falling into a deep sleep for decades, and has never come out to harm us, and my village has lived a peaceful life. The old man said, "But a few nights ago, the people of the village saw a monster with a snake head and a human body flying in the sky, and the monster looked so hideous and terrifying that it had four wings, and its cry was like that of a bell, and it shook people's ears!"

Su Su's eyes suddenly widened when she heard this, and she almost exclaimed, Bai Xin shook her head at Su Su and motioned for her not to speak.

Su Su held back and remained silent, and the old man continued: "Not long after that monster flew by, we heard a huge explosion in the mountain, and we didn't pay attention to the monster and the loud noise at that time, until a few days ago the woodcutter in the village went to the mountain to cut wood, and found from a distance that a large number of trees were dead, and one mountain had turned into flat ground! We guessed that it must have been the snake-headed monster who broke the seal of the giant salamander for decades! We had a hard life, so we had to flee quickly to save our lives while the poisonous gas had not spread. ”

"I advise you not to go any further, the poison of the giant salamander is incomparable, so go back with us. A woman said warmly.

Bai Xin looked at Su Su, and then said, "Thank you Auntie for your concern, but we have to go to the Central Plains, we can't go back with you, I think we should find other ways to pass." ”

"Alas, you'd better listen to us. It's already hell ahead, so why send you to death?" the old man also persuaded.

"We'll be careful, thank you!" Bai Xin said as he bowed to the villagers.

Seeing that the children were so persistent, the villagers shook their heads and said, "Hey, then be careful." We can't give them away. ”

"It's okay!"

The villagers drove the car, carried the salute, and continued to flee. Seeing that the villagers were walking away, Su Su exclaimed with tears in her eyes: "Patriarch! The snake-headed monster in their mouth is the patriarch's four-winged snake god!"

"It should be your patriarch who can't be wrong. ”

"I'm going to find him!" As soon as Su Su heard the news of the patriarch, he immediately lost his breath.

"However, the villagers also said that there was poison gas in front of them, and your patriarch ....... him."

"He must still be alive, and the patriarch's four-winged snake god will not be invaded by poison, and he will not be harmed. ”

"Then let's go and check it out! I have purple beads, but how can you resist the poisonous gas?" Tong Jun said worriedly.

Bai Xin thought for a moment and said, "How many scales are there from the perch we found from Mosen?"

"I haven't used it, there are three tablets. ”

"I used one antidote to snake venom before, and there are two left. Let's try it with scales first, no, I'm thinking of other ways. Bai Xin said and took out the perch in his arms.

"What are the scales of a perch?" Lan Lan had never heard of this thing.

"It is the scales of a strange fish, which can avoid poison and detoxify. When we came over in southern Xinjiang before, we got it by luck from Mosen. ”

Bai Xin Susu and Lan Lan each took a piece of scale, threaded it through it with a string and put it on their chests, and Bai Xin hung another piece on Qinglong's neck.

Tong Jun sacrificed dark purple beads, and he didn't have a problem without scales at the moment. Several people got ready and rushed in the direction where the villagers had fled.
