Yes!
Zu Lin was not in the village, and in the stern words of Grandpa He San, "With your footsteps, you will have to walk for at least three days and three nights!"
There are many water flows in Hejia Village, if you draw a circle from the origin of the most dense place in Hejia Village, then it will be very obvious that Hejia Village is divided into three equal parts by the river called "River" and the fork of the stream.
The thatched house of the Fu family is at the foot of the mountain a little further to the east than the village, and the living water on the left and right comes from the mountain, and the back of the house is facing the mountain.
Old Man He San took Fu Kui and He Xiuxiu all the way west along the river. The surrounding trees are getting denser, and the shadows are full, and they are illuminated by the miserable white sun, so it is not scary.
Fu Kui looked up as if he had a feeling, and it seemed that something had flown over just now, feeling very dangerous.
Fu Kui didn't know that there was a small pond not far from her. The wind blows the reeds on the surface of the pool, the water surface is sparkling, the fish are shallow in the waves, and the river mussels sleep under the grass at the bottom of the pool. But the water was thick and green, and it was obviously a stagnant pond! The thing that Fu Kui thought was dangerous was circling around such a stinking stagnant pond the size of a palm, and for a while, as if he was sure of something, stopped, twisted off his wings and snake tail, and turned into a beautiful human form like a flower.
The man frowned and looked at his reflection in the water, and sure enough, this kind of water can even be ugly like this! I really don't know what is good about this kind of place, there is not even the slightest aura around...... No, it should be said that there is no breath at all. It had obviously fanned up a huge wind spirit, but it was accompanied by an ordinary, mortal wind!
The man yelled at the pool, "Hey, how long are you going to stay in this muddy pond?"
It seemed to be awakened, and there was a faint tremor around him. The pond starts in the center and slowly rises above the water level. A huge orange-yellow, golden vertical pupil gradually appeared, slowly constricting the light.
"Fuck it! fuck it!" the flower-like beauty said in a male voice, "Sure enough, it's a pervert in the clan that has been hard to find for thousands of years!" In other words, in such a harsh environment, it can actually cultivate successfully!
"Thirteenth brother, it's more interesting for you not to speak. The hoarse bass revealed the discomfort of not speaking for a long time.
"You're really here! It's been 500 years, what are you going to do here? If it weren't for my mother's compatriots, I really wouldn't be sure you're here!"
No, it's not sure at all, it doesn't feel it at all, thinking it's dead, and it's just trying its luck this time. Can it even hide its breath? It seems that it has cultivated to the legendary incarnation tribulation period. In the nest of colorful poisonous snakes back then, the only black and white ugly snake actually grew to the ......
Hmph! It doesn't admit it's jealousy.
"Oh~ This is the Ancestor asked me to hand over the Flowing Pulp Talisman to you, and a year later, the Demon Monarch held a Flowing Pulp Banquet. Two Yi springs, one spring dies, and the other spring lives in vain. When the yin and yang of heaven and earth meet, the golden sycamore leaves fall to lead the way, which can allow us to temporarily return to the Demon Realm Ten Thousand Demon Inheritance Platform......"
“...... Got it. ”
The surface of the water is restored, and it doesn't say "I'll go". It's not that I don't know the importance of the Flowing Pulp Feast, but it's ...... It's been waiting for thousands of years.
How long will it take? I'll go in circles and forks!" Fu Kui cursed in his heart.
They have been walking for a day, and they have not rested for a day! The most terrible thing is that the dead old man does not give them food! Even her own granddaughter is the same! Obviously, if she makes reasonable arrangements for food and rest, she will walk faster, I really don't know what his old man thinks.
"Alright, let's rest here for three hours. You take care of eating and sleeping by yourself. Old Man He San said.
Fu Kui and He Xiuxiu were stunned. No matter what to eat? When the sky is getting dark, they still have to take advantage of the night to hurry? Just kidding! The woods are so dense that they can indeed find food, but they don't know each other! Not to mention before, they don't even bring a piece of flint and steel, even if they find something to eat, do they want to eat it raw?
Besides, three hours except for the time spent looking for food, the rest of the time is not enough to sleep on the quilt! The two of them are dressed in clothes, even if the village girl in the countryside is not hypocritical, she can lie down and sleep, but there are all kinds of snakes, ants, poisonous insects in this forest!
Seeing that Fu Kui and He Xiuxiu were staring at him stupidly, Grandpa He San shouted: "What's the matter? You still expect me to cook for you like an old immortal?
"......" Fu Kui touched her stomach, she was the most hungry, "I'm hungry! Your grandfather hasn't eaten either, let's follow him quietly and see what he eats!"
"Okay!" He Xiuxiu's eyes suddenly burst into a dazzling light, this girl wouldn't think she would grab food, right?
When the sun sets, the tall trees shake like a flock of monsters dancing with gusts of wind, and the strange birdsong from time to time makes people feel creepy. Fu Kui and He Xiuxiu secretly followed behind Old Man He, and when they saw him, they picked anything.
"Is this what my grandfather is picking now?" He Xiuxiu brought over a tender green pinnate leaf.
"No, you look at this carefully," Fu Kui motioned to He Xiuxiu to look at the back of the leaf, "The back of the plant in your grandfather's hand is smooth." ”
After Fu Kui finished speaking, he learned from Old Man He San to throw the correct leaf into his mouth and chew it. The spicy and cool feeling directly cleared the brain, and even the sleepiness was much less, and it was really a good thing to refresh the mind.
Isn't Old Man He San really teaching them? In just a short time, she and He Xiuxiu collected two kinds of wild fruits, four kinds of mushrooms, and a kind of herb that can stop bleeding. Okay, they've got another antidote to the herb.
......
When Old Man He came back, he didn't see the slightest trace of being bitten by a snake, and he spread the grass he cut back on a flat place, which seemed to be his bed. He put the bright red fruit that he touched at the bottom of the water on the dry wood, cut it with a dagger, and the next moment the green smoke rose from the place where the juice was poured and ignited a flame! It was amazing! But then he took out a big white meat worm and smashed it and smeared it on the mushroom to roast! What a terrible dark dish. Even if they starve to death, neither of them will eat!
......
However, they don't have time to sleep! Fu Kui took the ingredients that he had finally obtained, and put on an expression of a classic goodbye in autumn and autumn in the depths of his heart.
I've never seen anyone who deliberately chooses to walk late at night, hehe. Don't give a torch yet, hehe.
"Smack!" The old man who walked in front gave He Xiuxiu a slap without mercy, that momentum, that voice!
"Go late at night, Lin Mo turned around! When he turned around, who knows if he was slapped by a jackal or a tiger or a leopard?
Old Man He saw Fu Kui retreating again, so he turned his head and yelled at her: "Isn't it too fast to die when you run so far?
Fu Kui didn't say anything, but He Xiuxiu let out a "wow" and cried completely.
He Xiuxiu collapsed, but her own grandfather did not slow down at all, but angrily reprimanded: "The country girl is really pampered and has cultivated the temperament of a young lady! In the history of the clan, there are many ordinary people who died on the way back!"
Fu Kui sighed in his heart, every time He Xiuxiu was hung up with torn clothes, Old Man He San frowned distressedly. Every time He Xiuxiu fell, the old man subconsciously stepped towards her, and waited for the reaction to endure not to help. It was obviously a good intention, but the exit turned into intimidation.
"I'm not leaving! I'm going back! Isn't there a way to distinguish people and demons in the village? What a yin-yang mirror, a sinkhole, or something else is fine, it's a big deal I'll go to the ...... test with Fu Kui" Under the gaze of the old man, He Xiuxiu's voice became smaller and smaller.
"According to the yin-yang mirror, you first have to starve for three days, and then drink ice on the charcoal fire, which is called yin and yang. It is the demon who distinguishes, but the one who dies must be a human. Do you really think it's a mirror in the ancestral hall? The sinkhole is even more uncertain, it is just something that the ancestors have done to execute sinners to explain to the outside world. It's a huge hole dug in it full of sharpened bamboo, and if you jump, you won't die?
He Xiuxiu, have you ever wondered why there is a way to identify demons in the village? Why do you have to take such a road to Zulin? Because our He family is a demon exterminator, ah......"
Old Man He sighed in his heart, and said with a forbearance cry: "What kind of history have ghosts and demons glorified Dayu!"
Isn't it history? How long has the He family been hiding from the world? I took the initiative to cut off the inheritance, just to live that breath. But the juniors have long since forgotten their surnames.
They are no longer the He family.
Old Man He looked at the two dirty children, they would not survive in the forest, they would not hide their breath, they would not probe He to defend the beasts, and they would not find prey and food by themselves. Once upon a time, the people of the He family used the mountains and forests as if they were their own backyards! Although they had not been pampered by life, it was not easy for them to survive in the ancestral forest. Or rather...... There is only a dead end.
Did he do anything wrong?
The atmosphere was depressed for a while, and Fu Kui didn't even dare to play with the stick in his hand at will.
"Rest, we're here for the night today. Old Man He said, set up a fire, and threw special spices into it, "If it's just the two of you, remember not to light a fire at night without preparation." Fire can scare away timid animals, but what attracts them must be giant beasts and monsters that you can't solve. ”
"Demon beast?" Fu Kui repeated in a low voice, as if he was sure.
