Chapter 61: Departure
It seems to be the height of summer, and a huge insect whose name cannot be named is hiding in a shady place where the sun does not shine, and making a series of deafening sounds by shaking its joints.
Surrounded by trees, when you look up, the sunlight makes the green a little deeper, as if a thick sap will flow from under the stems and leaves at any time.
The breeze blows, bringing up tiny particles, which are carried in the wind and drift into the distance. It is the seed of a certain plant by which they spread their seed to all corners of the jungle.
Some particles got into the nose of the mouse, which couldn't help but make Ning Hao sneeze, he rubbed his nose, and planned to climb the tree to take a look, standing on a high place, he could understand his position as quickly as possible, and he could help himself decide where to go next.
The mouse was just about to act, but he felt a trace of strangeness coming from his tail, and he suddenly remembered that he had taken Shangguan Qing and them through the light gate together.
The huge triangular head looked at these friends, and the two men were okay to say, Shangguan Qing was already so frightened that his little face turned white.
If you don't experience it yourself, who can understand the feeling of being tied by the tail of a huge beast for a long time?
"Who are you, what's wrong with Ning Hao by you?" Finding that the rat looked over, Shangguan Qing's heart immediately swelled with a panicked feeling, and he couldn't help but shout loudly.
Ning Hao withdrew his tail and wanted to explain, but looking at the little girl's frightened appearance, he couldn't help but want to tease her.
"Ning Hao, he has already been eaten by me, but it's a pity that he is a stinky man, and the taste is just average. I see that your meat is tender and tender, and it must taste good after careful pickling!" the mouse tried to show a fierce expression, but this expression fell into the eyes of everyone, but it was as embarrassing as a cramp.
Shangguan Qing stared at the mouse with wide eyes, obviously believing what he said.
"You monster, be careful of being taken in by the gods!"
Seeing that the girl's eyes were already reddened and even more moist, Ning Hao hurriedly ended his boring joke.
"Hahahaha, Xiao Qingqing, why are you so stupid?"
Tears began to roll in Shangguan Qing's eyes, the reason why she was crying was because she was going to be eaten by the monster, or because Ning Hao died in the mouth of the monster? I'm afraid even she can't understand.
"You, you're Ning Hao?"
Tao Guangguang had already had doubts in his heart when he heard Ning Hao's conversation with the Taoist priest before, and saw Ning Hao change from a living person to a huge mouse, and hearing this familiar tone at this time made him almost sure of the identity of this mouse.
"It's still Master Tao's unique vision! That's right, I'm Ning Hao!"
Now that the richest man has found out, Ning Hao no longer conceals his identity, and directly tells the fact that he is a mouse.
"I have long seen that you are not ordinary, but I didn't expect you to be so 'unusual'!" Tao Guangguang said with a solemn face.
"That's right, I've been trying hard to pretend to be an ordinary person, but I didn't expect to end up revealing my stuffing!" Ning Hao said with a grin.
"No, if you don't end up like this, no one will suspect you. I don't understand, with your strength, you should be able to deal with that Zhang Li, but why did it still become... Uh, a mouse?" Tao Guangguang asked very incomprehensibly.
Ning Hao pondered for a while, only to hear him say: "I have always been just a mouse, no matter what it becomes, this is the original me." I used to try to become a human being, but unfortunately, I was just a rat after all. ”
When the three of them heard him say this, they all felt that something seemed to have happened to this master in the past few days, and they wanted to say something, but they didn't know where to start.
After being silent for a while, Ning Hao suddenly said: "In this matter, I don't regret it, it's just that we can't get together after all." This jungle, I don't know what kind of danger there will be, if you are in trouble, you can call my name loudly, if I can hear it, I will definitely come over, Tao Shoufu, thank you for being able to help me take care of 'There is a restaurant', Shangguan Qing, I am also very happy to meet you, I hope that the next time we meet, we are all standing in the fairy gate. ”
With that, the mouse attached his body to the ground and turned around to leave, but heard Shangguan Qing's voice behind him.
"On the mountain that day, did you save me?"
Ning Hao paused for a moment, and replied without looking back: "Xiao Qingqing, you are so smart, you must be able to guess!"
After saying this, Ning Hao didn't look at their reactions, and ran directly towards the woods. Ning Hao only felt that the whole person was a lot more relaxed, and in the dark, it seemed that a big burden had been unloaded.
In front of human beings, there is no concealment and inferiority because they are rats, and when they are human beings, they will not bow their heads in front of the so-called gods. Just as it is said in the "Impermanence Heart Sutra", all living beings have 365 acupuncture points, and the difference between them is only the difference in form.
Ning Hao ran in the forest for a while, only to see his body slowly shrink, until he turned into an ordinary mouse before stopping.
He found the tallest tree around, and jumped lightly to the top of the treetop, and the wind was so loud that it rippled the fluff on the mouse.
Although the animals here are not as large as those in the planet of Behemoths, they have a vast jungle that stretches as far as the eye can see.
The mountain I saw before stretched across the sky, like a huge barrier, firmly blocking half of the sky. Nimha suddenly remembered the mythological mountain called Buzhou, which was said to be the backbone of God the Father and once connected the world of man and god.
I don't know what kind of legend is on this mountain.
Ning Hao glanced at the distance between him and Gao Shan, with his fastest speed, it was estimated that it would take several days to get there. The so-called Wangshan running a dead horse is not unreasonable.
A vague whistling sound came from the direction of the mountain, and the crisp sound reached the ears of the mouse, and his spirit was shaken.
The final destination of this journey should be the mountain.
Test the sincerity, pass through thousands of forests, and climb the ladder.
If the moment you enter the Ruguang Gate, what is tested is the sincerity of everyone's asking for immortals, then the three words "over a thousand forests" should be confirmed in this vast green jungle.
"There seem to be a lot of animals and plants here that I haven't seen before, and I don't know what they will taste like. Returning to the jungle again, Ning Hao felt that his heart for food had awakened again.
I don't know if there is any time limit for this kind of test, but Ning Hao is going to stay here for a long time.
