Fighting for Themselves Chapter 24
In the vast night sky, the moonlight illuminates the whole earth, and the candle sky lies in a Taoist temple, feeling a little cold on the body. However, it is no wonder that it has been a long time since the descent, nearly a month has passed since August 15, and the autumn wind is bitter and the cold is pressing, especially the deserted mountain roads.
However, the ubiquitous Taoist temples give candles a place to rest with peace of mind. However, it is very strange that there is no one in the Taoist temple of Nuoda, and Candle Tian is a little annoyed, so he has to say to Chen Xin: "Chen Xin, smart Chen Xin, can you go out and find something to eat and come back?
Chen Xin turned over and said, "It's so late, even the hard-working bees are already sleeping, where can they find food." Why don't I help you see if there is anything to eat in this temple, if there is, cook a little, and hold on until tomorrow when you arrive in the nearby city, you can eat and drink, even if you reserve your stomach for those delicacies in advance tonight, do you think it is good. ”
Candle Tian is really angry. I wasn't too hungry just now, and when I heard Chen Xin talk about food, I suddenly shouted one after another in my stomach, and there was no end to the noise.
When Candle Tian saw Chen Xin go out, he got bored and walked out of the Taoist temple and walked towards the back mountain, hoping to have good luck and catch a wild beast such as a hare or a boar, and he wouldn't feel too tormented.
However, a few steps after Candle Tian walked out, he saw a man and a woman rushing towards the Taoist temple. In the middle of the night, when I saw mortals coming down from the back mountain, Candle Tian thought it was a pedestrian who was rushing to a long distance, and felt that there must be some food on him, and when he took out the copper plate to exchange some food, he would rest peacefully for the night, and he would not have to suffer from the cold and endure hunger to catch wild beasts.
A man and a woman walked into the Taoist temple, completely ignoring the candle sky on the side. Candle Sky looked at the men and women on the side, and even the clothes were very different from the mortals he saw on weekdays. But this is not the most important thing, the most important candle day after looking at it for a long time found that after they pulled out the package, it was full of clothes, and they didn't see any food.
Seeing that Candle Tian had been staring at him, the man still spoke: "It's not who Your Excellency is, is there anything that needs help, even if you just open your mouth, we live in the back of the mountain, hunting for a living, and tonight I will come down to see the situation in the Taoist temple by the way." ”
Candle Tian saw that the man said sincerely, so he said directly: "We are passing by here in a hurry, the weather is getting colder, and we will rest here." However, in the last few days, we have eaten up all of our food, and I wonder if we can get some to eat. I will give you two taels of silver in exchange. ”
The man stood up, about seven feet long, burly, dressed in tiger skin, shoes are tiger skin boots that are difficult to see, the hat is a yellow and white tiger skin hat, the stripes are clear, and the tiger skin skirt on the waist is also yellow and white stripes.
The man said, "Well, you wait a while, I'll go out for a while, and in about half an hour you should be able to find a wild boar to hunt, and you will be blessed to meet me tonight, and you won't have to go hungry anymore." ”
The man took off the tiger skin hat and put it on the woman's head, and then took out the leather coat made of other animal skins from the baggage, and wrapped it around the woman, and then said cautiously: "Wait a while, I will go and catch a wild boar and come back, and by the way, I will also pick some fruit, and let you relieve your hunger." ”
The woman's face is very smooth, but the obvious pregnancy spots near the nose indicate that the woman has been pregnant for a long time, and she will give birth in another month at most.
At this moment, Chen Xin came back, holding a large beehive in his hand, and said excitedly: "This is a good thing, I will bake this beehive tonight, so that you can enjoy it." Don't you think I'm still good to you? This is something I dug out from the corner behind the Taoist temple, and it's definitely a top-notch tonic. Especially for women, it can also be used for beauty. Isn't that you, big sister?"
The snake right appeared and said, "It's rare that you are so filial, so I reluctantly accept it, but I don't have any good things to exchange with you." Otherwise, you will obey me, so that there will be no distinction between each other, are you right? ”
As soon as the snake said this, the unicorn whose face gradually turned red after eating the phoenix eggshell was now even more blushing and thick-necked. said: "You don't need to exchange things, just go find some firewood and come back." ”
The snake changed his hippie smile and said, "Little brother, you really dare to let me collect firewood, I think you are more bold and fatter than your body, and you are becoming more and more lawless." ”
Hearing this, one of the unicorns rushed to the woods outside to collect firewood. Behind him came the voice of the snake's right. shouted: "It's better to pick up more, we still have guests, and wild boars roasted wild boars to eat." ”
At this moment, there were three tiger roars from the back mountain, and then it returned to calm. After a while, Chen Xin picked up a lot of firewood, and the man walked into the Taoist temple with a wild boar on his back.
Since the woman had been on the other side away from Candle Tian and the others, the snake right said to the man: "Go ahead, your lady will bring it over and bake the fire, the humidity here is very heavy, and it is not suitable to stay in a cold place." ”
The man walked over, picked up the woman, and was about to kiss her, when Chen Xin suddenly shouted: "Tiger, let go of that rabbit, are you the little master, am I air? After saying that, the figure had disappeared in place, pushing the man to the other side, and was about to reach out to hold the woman. But he didn't know that the snake right was faster than him, and it was a slap on Chenxin's forehead, knocking Chenxin to the ground.
Sorry said to the man: "I'm really sorry, my little brother has just turned into a human and doesn't understand things between adults." Just now, I just thought that you were going to hurt Sister Rabbit, so I grabbed the rabbit and prepared to save people. ”
With a glance from the snake's right, Tatsushin disappeared in front of the fire and began to roast the boar and the half-human-sized beehive. But Chenxin's heart is unclear, so he is obviously doing good deeds, how did he become that troubled person. When you have free time, be sure to ask Candle Sky for clarification.
However, when Chen Xin looked at Candle Sky, he found that Candle Sky was also confused. Then he smiled and thought in his heart: "I didn't expect the master to still be an afterthought and confused." It seems that you have to take out several snake fruits in this matter, and ask the big sister Snake Right to understand. ”
Everyone sat around the fire, and the man said apologetically: "I know that you are all people with great magical powers, and you have known our identities for a long time, but I saw that the boy did not see our identity, so I concealed it." I am the black tiger, the king of the forest in this area, and this is my lady Rabbit Qianjiao. ”
Candle Tian smiled self-deprecatingly and said, "I have just entered the world, and everything here is unfamiliar. Although I can sense the difference in your breath, it is difficult to discern your true identity, and I really think that you are hunting, so your body will be contaminated with some animal breath. ”
Chen Xin looked at the fat and delicious wild boar, where did he remember the beehive, and kept stuffing the barbecue meat into his mouth. Although Snake Right also likes wild boar, she does not hesitate to choose to roast the hive herself compared to the beehive that can beautify her face. After the sweet and delicious beehive was baked, the fresh honey in it was mixed with the aroma of the bee chrysalis, which immediately made Chen Xin drool. But how could I have eaten a lot of food, so I had to watch Rabbit Qianjiao and Snake Right enjoy their food. However, he thought that there was still a large piece of beehive that had not been roasted, and he was about to reach out and put it into his bracelet, but he found that his hand was grasping the right hand of the snake.
Chen Xin quickly retracted his hand as if he had been electrocuted, and said, "I just want to see if the rest of the piece is as fat as that." Big sister doesn't have to be so protective of me. ”
The snake right said: "This piece belongs to your sister rabbit, and you will go to the nearby city tomorrow, there is nothing delicious to eat, and the child is really greedy." ”
Hearing this, the black tiger said, "I'm afraid you'll have to take a detour to the nearby city." You can see it during the day, this is Makuyama. Surrounded by mountains here, many jackals, tigers and leopards, ancient beasts, and spirit beasts also gather here, which is extremely dangerous. This Taoist temple has been established for 400 years, and the reason why it looks so brand new and can still live is that a group of Taoist disciples with high magic power came a hundred years ago. They fought with the beasts on the mountain for more than a month, and together with the soldiers they led, they touched about 30,000 people, and the whole army was wiped out. Moreover, it is said that those monks, each of whom is a good soldier in battle, cannot escape their fate. ”
Hearing this, Candle Tian said: "I see, but I don't quite understand, how did you survive with so many alien beasts and spirit beasts?"
Chen Xin coughed twice, feeling a little unbearable when he asked. However, the black tiger didn't care, and explained: "We were protected by our ancestors to get this territory within a radius of a hundred miles here. If you want to talk about our ancestors, you should have heard of them, that is the White Tiger Clan. Although it has declined, it has been respected by other beasts, so it can settle down again. ”
Snake Right said: "No wonder I feel that the spiritual energy here is extraordinarily abundant, I see." Presumably, it was because of their existence that such a thick aura miasma was gathered. However, I still hope that you can hide your aura, you should have heard of the existence of the Divine Void Realm Blood Temple, but don't let them discover your existence, otherwise we, the descendants of the divine beasts who survived from the ancient battlefield, will all suffer. ”
As soon as these words came out, a figure flew in the distance. Entering the Taoist temple, he saluted respectfully to the right of the snake and said: "I am the mountain master of this mountain, thank you for the understanding of the right protector, from now on, I will definitely disrupt the order of their existence again, and dissolve the miasma that has formed." It was my own negligence that led to such a major mistake. ”
The snake right didn't know the person, but he could feel his more familiar breath, which was very similar to the colorful bird family. So he asked, "Are you a descendant of the Colorful Bird Clan?"
The visitor respectfully said, "Yes, my name is Caiyi, and I am now the leader of the Bird Clan. However, our Colorful Bird Clan has been looking for the shelter of the Colorful Vermilion Bird Clan, but we have been secretly searching for tens of thousands of years without the slightest news. However, at the top of Buzhou Mountain, a nine-colored phoenix divine beast egg was brought back by the ancient god Sansheng Great God, and after tens of thousands of years of incubation, it should have been born now. But its breath could not be found, and it must have been hidden. ”
The snake right said: "It's not that it's hidden, but she has her own things to do, and she is not in the world now, and you will definitely see her true face one day in the future." ”
Caiyi took out a black thing in his hand, and said to the snake right after giving a salute: "This is the treasure of my colorful bird clan, called the sound transmission stone." Whether in the human world or anywhere else, as long as there is a place where we need the help of the bird clan and the beast clan, the Dharma Protector only needs to inject divine power and transmit the sound to us. Caiyi once again thanked the Dharma Protector for the reminder. ”
