18 | The whereabouts of the spring grass
"Yes, yes, but it's been many years in the village, and I haven't seen anyone alive." Shen Si sighed, "I don't think anyone wants to have anything to do with the Village of No Return." ”
Hearing this, the demon looked at Pu Jia and Mu Yu, and the two of them shook their heads almost at the same time and said, "No." ”
The demon pursed his lips and said, "They are all so pitiful, let's always draw our swords to help each other when we see injustice." ”
"It's not that we won't help them, but we need to find the Youquan Grass first and help you dissolve the ghost qi in your body before investigating this matter." Pu Jia patiently explained.
"He's right, if the master can't even take care of you, how can he have the heart to help others?" Mu Yu also echoed on the side.
The demon was helpless, and after thinking about it, he had an idea in his heart again.
She looked at Shen Si again: "Have you ever heard of the Youquan Grass?" ”
Shen Si was stunned for a moment, and then hurriedly said: "Of course the villain has heard that this kind of grass grows in Weishui, and it grows a lot on the small hillside behind the village of no return. ”
When Pu Jia and Mu Yu heard this, their spirits were lifted, and Pu Jia opened her mouth and asked, "Then do you know, where can you find the thousand-year-old Youquan Grass?" ”
Shen Si was stunned again, and then continued: "That kind of grass tastes bitter and slightly poisonous, even livestock won't eat it." If no one picks it, it will be a long time ago. ”
Pu Jia and Mu Yu glanced at each other, and said in unison: "Where is your village?" ”
Before Shen Si could speak, the demon cleared his throat first and said, "Then can we go to the Village of No Return to investigate the curse?" ”
Seeing the two nodding, the demon said to Shen Si, "Do you hope that one day you can leave the village of no return?" ”
Shen Si looked at the demon's moonlit face, hesitated, and nodded slowly.
"If that's the case, you will take us to the Village of No Return to find the thousand-year-old Youquan Grass, and then we will definitely do our best to help you resolve the blood curse in the village."
"Are you telling the truth?" Shen Si couldn't believe his ears.
"Naturally, take it seriously." Demon Dao.
Shen Si was excited to prostrate on the ground again, and was about to bow three times and bow nine times, when suddenly a gentle force supported his body, and he was actually helped up by that invisible force.
Before he could be surprised, the next scene he saw made him even more shocked.
The three people in front of him were holding a peach tree with a light pink streamer, and pieces of peach blossoms were flying around him, and the air on the side of one person cracked a crack like a rainbow, and a colorful giant bird flew out of the crack with its head held high.
And the woman who made his heart flutter was holding a dark blue bead in her hand, and a pair of dark blue wings were born from her back, like a fairy butterfly with wings ready to fly.
He couldn't help but move his steps in the direction of the demon, and a cold snort pulled him back from his fantasy to reality.
The man with the mahogany in his hand was glaring at him with a cold eyebrow.
"Come here, take the master's hand." Mu Yu said.
Shen Si was a little suspicious of his ears.
Fortunately, Pu Jia's next words made him breathe: "Mu Yu, let him ride with me." ”
Shen Si hurriedly trotted to Pu Jia's side, and intuitively felt that his body was light, and he landed on Wu Wu's back with Pu Jia.
After hearing the last conversation between the three people, the demon secretly muttered in his heart: "Why did these two people start to compete for other men?" ”
Thinking of this, the future he planned for the two of them yesterday fell apart in an instant.
The four people and one bird took advantage of the moonlight to fly out of the city, and under the leadership of Shen Si, before dawn, the four of them came to the entrance of the village of no return.
When Shen Si returned to his house with the four of them, his father was sitting on the threshold of the door without saying a word, looking at the North Star in the sky.
With a haggard look, it was obvious that he hadn't slept all night.
Seeing everyone, his father stood up tremblingly, took Shen Si's hand with a look of fear and asked, "Child, why did you come back, where did you get your arm?" ”
"I've already enshrined my arm in the temple you mentioned." Shen Si lowered his head and said.
Who knew that when Father Shen heard this, he slapped him directly and said angrily: "Lie, how long does it take to walk from here to Wangxi Town, do you think Dad doesn't know?" ”
"The child is obedient, hurry up and get the arm back, and obediently go to worship, otherwise our family will be in great trouble."
"Old man, don't be angry, he didn't lie to you." The demon hurriedly said.
Shen's father remembered that there were three other outsiders present, so he asked Shen Sidao, "Are these three your friends?" ”
Shen Si told his father everything about his previous experience and what the demon told him, and seeing that his father was still suspicious, he continued: "These three immortals have great magical powers. ”
"They all fly."
But Shen's father was still hesitant, Shen Si looked at the three of them as if asking for help, and a faint blue light lit up in Pujia's palm, enveloping Shen's father in the middle.
The next moment, Father Shen felt an invisible force and lifted himself up from the ground.
After Shen's father landed, he knelt on the ground just like Shen Si did before, and kept muttering: "Please all the immortals, save me from not returning to the village." ”
……
"General, we have been resting here for seven days, and the fortifications on the other side have been built, if we don't send any more troops, I'm afraid it's really too late." In the commander's tent, Cui Mu said anxiously.
Qin Hanmu was still calm, he wrote something on the rice paper with great interest, and it was not until he finished writing the last stroke that he raised his head and beckoned to Cui Mu and said, "General Cui, come and take a look." ”
Cui Mu originally thought that he was formulating a strategy for sending troops, so he hurriedly stepped forward, but when he saw the content on the rice paper, he almost cried.
There are four words written on the rice paper: Shangguan Miao.
"I think it's probably the best word I've ever written." Qin Han said with a smile on his face.
"General, it's been the third time that the state pastor has sent staff." Cui Mu said eagerly.
"You're all here to urge me to fight?" Qin Han said.
"Not really." Cui Mudao.
"Just send them away." Qin Hanmu said casually.
"But yesterday the staff member said that if the general does not go to war again, the governor will personally come to supervise the battle." Cui Mudao.
When Qin Hanmu heard this, he was a little surprised: "Can't he sit still?" ”
"General, I know your concerns." Cui Mu said, "Although you are a victorious general, you have never advocated fighting against each other, and this time you still invade the territory of other states. ”
"But......" Cui Mu stopped talking.
"It doesn't matter, you can say whatever you want, don't worry." Qin Han said.
"But the general, some of what he said is indeed true." Cui Mudao.
Seeing Qin Hanmu motioning for him to continue, Cui Mu continued: "Jiangzhou has always been short of food, and if it encounters a famine year, the northern border will be starving all over the wilderness. Therefore, for the sake of the people of the north, we should also fight. ”
