Chapter 143: Back to the Swamp
Back at the camp, Mo Lin was silent, and he didn't even hear Yue Yao ask him why Huang Quan was with him.
Huang Quan could only explain to Yue Yao, as well as Zhu Pingman and Xiaobai, the two old guys, how he appeared.
When Mo Lin made a big disturbance outside the city, Huang Quan also led the Dawn Dead into the prison.
I thought that there was only one Fire Goddess left to guard the prison, and they would definitely be able to successfully rob the prison, but what they didn't expect was that at the most critical time, Zou Hong, the head of the Yin and Yang family, suddenly appeared.
As soon as Zou Hong appeared, Huang Quan almost despaired, because the level difference between the two sides was too much, no matter how many tricks he had, in the face of overwhelming strength, it was just a fragile little trick.
Unexpectedly, Zou Hong not only did not capture them, but also released their friends from the prison, and even opened the south gate and let them leave quickly.
Until now, Huang Quan didn't know why Zou Hong did this, he only remembered what Zou Hong said to him at the end.
"Believe Mo Lin, only he can save the imbalance of this world."
It was precisely because of this sentence that Huang Quan did not follow the Dawn Dead to Bian Que City, he had a beastly instinct and went directly into the reckless Yandang Mountain. After wandering around for three days, he finally found Mo Lin, and by the way, he also saw Biluo, who he had been hiding.
Huang Quan was telling his story, looking at Mo Lin from time to time. He understood Mo Lin's mood at the moment, ten years ago, he was just like Mo Lin, even worse than Mo Lin.
He has no friends, no longer has martial arts, only a bad life and the fate of being abandoned by the Mo family. He pondered for a night, and finally determined that he was no longer worthy of Biluo's love, and since then he has embarked on the road of no return.
"Mo Lin, you must be able to figure it out." Huang Quan thought silently in his heart.
Ever since he heard what Bi Luo said about Luo Qianqian's gray hair overnight, Mo Lin has been a little distracted. He didn't hear a word of what Huang Quan said, his mind was full of Luo Qianqian, and he couldn't wait to immediately put on his wings and fly back to Moshi Village to see her.
"What's wrong with him?" Seeing Mo Lin's ugly face, Yue Yao leaned over to Huang Quan's side and asked him in a low voice.
Huang Quan relayed Biluo's words to Yueyao, she covered her mouth and asked in surprise, "How can it be white-headed overnight?" ”
"Biluo won't lie. If she said so, it must be true. Huangquan Road.
"She's so pathetic." Yueyao is also a girl after all, and when she heard such a somewhat sad love story, tears couldn't help but roll in her eyes.
When she saw Mo Lin's soul-attached appearance, she secretly thought in her heart: If it was me who turned white overnight, would Mo Lin's brother miss me like this?
"Mo Lin, don't be sad anymore. Hold on like a man, and sooner or later, you will return to the Mo family like a hero to pick up your beloved girl. Zhu Pingman walked to Mo Lin's side and gently patted him on the shoulder.
Mo Lin smiled bitterly, he also knew that just sitting here wouldn't do anything good.
"Thank you all, I know what to do. It's getting late, so let's rest, we have to go tomorrow. Mo Lin fiddled with the bonfire as he spoke, looked up at the bright moon hanging high in the sky, and had only one thought in his heart.
"Qianqian, the moonlight shines on me, and it must also shine on you. You have to trust me, I will go to see you, this day will come soon. ”
△△△
Early the next morning, the team continued its journey south, heading straight for the Swamp.
This time, Huang Quan also joined the team, because Xiao Bai said that the dragon bone he had refined might help him restore the Seven Chakras, which had been completely abolished, which gave Huang Quan hope.
With the two living treasures of Liejing and Big Bear, and Huangquan, the team seems to be much more lively. Although Mo Lin's mood has always been very low, Lie Jing and Da Xiong sometimes play treasure and sometimes make trouble, which makes him often laugh.
Biluo and Xin Jiangzi did not appear again, and there were no people from other families to stop them, and after walking in the mountains for two more days, the green mountains of Yandang Mountain were finally left behind, and in front of them was an endless plain. At the end of the horizon is the swamp inhabited by monsters.
"That's it. That is the territory of the soldiers, and the city of hundred soldiers is very prosperous, and this money is enough for you to open a good restaurant. I can also ask my friend to take care of you if needed. Mo Lin stood on a hill and looked at the Hundred Soldiers City in the distance.
Liejing and Big Bear exchanged glances, and knelt down together.
"Please take me as an apprentice!" Lie Jing said loudly, "My admiration for you is like a surging river......
"Stop!" Mo Lin was startled, "What are you doing here?" ”
Lie Jing raised his head and said, "I thought about it for a while, whether it is buying a piece of land or opening a restaurant, it is a cowardly act. I want to be a hero like you. ”
"I'm not a hero, I'm an enemy of the people, and it's dangerous to follow me." Mo Lin said helplessly.
"Danger and fear. I've heard that the spirit of the ink artist is to go to the soup and die. Although I am not an ink master, I am also surnamed Lie after all, and I am also a descendant of heroes, I am not afraid of danger! "Liejing said impassionedly, but with a bit of oily tone, which always sounds like something is not right.
"This ......" Mo Lin has never encountered this situation, and Lie Jing is a kraft candy character, and it is difficult to get rid of it if he is glued to it.
Xiao Bai jumped on Mo Lin's shoulder with a smile and said, "Boss, I think this kid has a good talent, so just accept him." ”
Mo Lin glared at Xiaobai fiercely: "You are because of his cooking skills, right?" ”
"Let's just say that, I think this kid has the talent to be a kitchen god in the future." Xiao Bai said cheekily.
"Then why don't you take him?"
"I'm a demon beast, and I can't accept human apprentices." Xiao Bai Zhenzhen said eloquently, and the reason for saying it made Mo Lin unable to refute.
"Yes, Brother Mo Lin, I think they are very pitiful, so you might as well follow us." Yue Yao also interceded for Liejing.
Yueyao has a lot of fun with the big bear these days, the big bear is stupid and stupid, but he is especially favored by the girl, and Yueyao loves it so much that she has to sleep in her arms at night. Thinking of separating from the big bear, her tears swirled in her eyes, and that pitiful look made Mo Lin's heart soften when she saw it.
However, Mo Lin still glanced at Zhu Pingman, and saw that he didn't seem to care about this matter at all, so he settled down in his heart.
"Okay, you just stay." Mo Lin said helplessly.
"Thank you, Master, the disciple has kowtowed to Master here!" The mirror was overjoyed, and he pulled the bear to worship.
"Don't, I didn't say that I would take you as a disciple...... Mo Lin wanted to stop it, but it was too late. Lie Jing and Da Xiong kowtowed three times with lightning speed, and then looked at Mo Lin pitifully, with a look in their eyes that clearly said: The head is kowtowed, if you regret it, we will be very sad......
Mo Lin couldn't cry or laugh, so he had to go with them. Anyway, these two living treasures are amazingly lazy, and Mo Lin is not worried that they will take the initiative to ask for any skills.
Because they were all within the territory of the soldiers, everyone changed their schedules and rested, and went out every day and night, so as not to alarm the soldiers.
After two days of walking, the outline of the swamp could be seen in the distance, and the humidity in the air gradually increased.
The last time he came to the swamp, Mo Lin was accompanied by Luo Qianqian and Ling Huzi, although there were many people this time, it made Mo Lin feel a little regretful after all.
Dongfang is a soldier, and Linghu Zi is there. The West is the Mo family, and Luo Qianqian has white hair. Mo Lin can't go anywhere, he can only go to the swamp with all his might, he wants to become stronger, only by becoming a hero of the world, becoming an invincible strongman, can he do what he wants to do.
"There is a miasma ahead, everyone should be careful." The closer you get to the swamp, the clearer the peach-colored miasma that gathers above the swamp. From a distance, the miasma resembles a huge mushroom, and it is extremely gorgeous. However, the more beautiful the mushroom, the more poisonous it is, and this is a truth that everyone knows.
"Poof", the humble bear stepped into the mud puddle and fell all over the mud. It got up stupidly, and Yueyao complained distressedly: "Big bear, follow me, don't run around." ”
And Lie Jing followed Huang Quan's side and muttered: "Are we really going to the swamp, I heard that it is full of man-eating demon beasts, what if they don't eat and fancy you and me?" ”
Huang Quan smiled slightly: "Then I just need to run faster than you." ”
"Why?" Fierce Mirror Fox wondered.
"So I can get away while they eat you." Huangquan Road.
"It's really vicious, look like a reader, your heart is so poisonous." Lie Jing shuddered and slipped over to Mo Lin's side.
"Master, look at my body, the poisonous miasma is so powerful, I simply don't go in, I'll wait for you outside." Liejing laughed with a smile.
Mo Lin glanced at him and said, "Okay, you just go to the Hundred Soldiers City to open a restaurant, and when we are free, we will naturally go to cheer you on." ”
"Then you don't have to, I'll wait for you outside the miasma." Flame Mirror grinned, smiling like a blooming flower.
"It's okay, but there are a lot of monsters here at night, so be careful of being eaten." Mo Lin said.
"Ah......" Lie Jing's face became like a bitter melon, "I thought about it carefully, Master's side can't do without me, even if the poisonous miasma is dangerous, I will follow Master." ”
Seeing the fierce mirror patting his chest, his majestic appearance, Mo Lin only smiled bitterly. Unconsciously, his mood gradually relaxed because of the gag of the fierce mirror.
No matter how hard fate is, you still have to work hard to move forward. If you have to rush forward, why not smile. Mo Lin didn't think deeply, but he was invisibly infected, and his footwork became more and more firm and brisk.
Coming to the edge of the poisonous miasma, Xiaobai and Yueyao did not react in the slightest, for the demon beasts, the poisonous miasma was just a little sweet gas at all, and it would not cause harm to their bodies.
Mo Lin and Zhu Pingman had cultivated to the stage where they could freely open and close the pores of their bodies, and their spiritual energy could also form a protective film on the surface of their body skin to protect them from poisonous miasma.
Huang Quan, Lie Jing and Big Bear were miserable, they only smelled a little poisonous miasma, and they immediately had red spots all over their bodies.
"Am I going to die?" Liejing fussed.
Mo Lin walked to the side of the Flame Mirror, stretched out his hand and swept it from top to bottom on his body, and an orange spiritual energy covered the Flame Mirror.
"Haha, I recognize, this is the farmer's Michakra Spiritual Energy." Liejing smiled.
In the same way, Mo Lin covered Huang Quan and Big Bear with spiritual energy, and the red dots on their bodies slowly disappeared.
"Alright, let's go. It's still a long way from the Demon God Temple. Xiaobai returned to the swamp where he had lived for many years, and walked in front with a familiar car.
As she walked, Xiao Bai told Yue Yao about the legend of the Great Swamp, the legend of her mother, the White Fox Demon King, who turned all beings upside down in this land. Mo Lin listened silently, and suddenly felt that the happy love was similar, and the unfortunate love was different.
The White Fox Demon King and Shen Hong, an enviable combination of male talent and female appearance, ended up in a tragic death.
Huangquan and Biluo, childhood sweethearts, are far away and can't see each other.
"I can still see Qianqian, I will definitely not be gone for ten years, and I will not let her down." Mo Lin thought stubbornly in his heart, and unconsciously, he glanced back in the direction of the Hundred Soldiers City, there was also a person he was concerned about, and he didn't even know if he was afraid of Ling Huzi's feelings.
After the team walked out for half a day, Liejing and Big Bear kept falling into the swamp and mud, and they were dirty and crying bitterly. Fortunately, the sky soon darkened, and everyone found a dry place to stop, and Mo Lin collected some dry grass and shrub branches and leaves, lit them and lit them to make a bonfire in the vast night.
The night in the swamp was cold, surrounded by endless wilderness, and the night wind blew coldly, and Blazing Mirror and Big Bear shivered at the same time, and rushed to the edge of the campfire to shiver and roast together.
Xiaobai was lying on the edge of the bonfire to roast the fire, his ears suddenly stood up, and a cold glow appeared in his eyes, staring at the night in the distance.
At the same time, Mo Lin also sensed that a demonic aura was approaching from far and near, and he stood up vigilantly and pressed his hand on the hilt of the Red Soul's sword.
"Little snake Sanqing, see the Great Demon King!" A dark figure slowly cleared up from the darkness, approached, and bowed.
Xiao Bai smiled: "Xiao Jiu asked you to come?" ”
"It was the Nine Demon King who sent me, and he said that his old friend had arrived, and he couldn't greet him in person, but he had already set up a banquet in the Demon God Temple and waited."
"Well, that's pretty much it." Xiao Bai looked at Mo Lin and said, "Boss, let's go." ”
"How to get there?" Mo Lin was stunned.
As soon as the words fell, the ground not far ahead suddenly shook, and under the faint light of the bonfire, everyone was shocked to see the mud rolling in a mud puddle not far away, and a huge insect slowly burrowed out of the mire.
When the insect crawled out of the quagmire completely, Mo Lin saw that it was five or six meters long, with a lot of wrinkles on its body, and when it shrank slightly, the mud on its body rolled down.
"This is a mud worm, you can take it to the Demon God Temple in no time." Snake three clear road.
"This guy...... It's disgusting. Fierce Mirror bared his teeth.
The mud worm seemed to understand the words of the Flame Mirror, and turned its head slightly, and a cold light shot out of its slitted eyes that could almost kill people.
Liejing was startled and hurriedly ducked behind the big bear.
Xiaobai jumped up, jumped on the head of the mud worm, and swept his tail on the head of the mud worm and said, "Mudworm, I haven't seen you for a long time, have you been well-behaved lately?" ”
The mud worm made a "sizzling" sound, and writhed its huge body, as if it was very happy to be coquettish with Xiaobai.
Zhu Pingman also jumped on the mud worm and sat firmly at the tail, while Mo Lin helped Yue Yao climb the mud worm a few times, and the last one jumped up.
When everyone sat down, Snake Sanqing also jumped on the mud worm and said in its ear: "Let's go, go back to the Demon Temple." ”
The mud worm hissed, the wrinkles on its body contracted, and with a flick, its huge body slid far away in the swamp. In this way, it retracted and flicked, and the speed was as fast as a bird, which surprised everyone.
"It's so exciting...... Lie Jing and the big bear lay tightly on the mud worm's body, for fear of falling. The appearance of the two of them made everyone laugh, and even the mud worms let out a "sizzle" laugh, clearly disapproving of their timidity.
With the mudworm as a mount, the boundless mire of the Swamp is no longer a problem. That is, an hour of effort, and a huge black shadow of the Demon God Temple faintly appeared in front of him.
"The Demon God Temple is about to arrive, please sit down." Snake Sanqing's words were mainly said to Lie Jing and Big Bear. These two are probably a little sensitive to too fast speed, and looking at their faces, they are afraid that they are about to vomit.
When I came to the gate of the Demon God Temple, the city gate had already been opened, and there were two demon kings standing in front of the city gate, which were the Rhino King and the Golden-winged Dapeng Bird.
The mud worm stopped at the gate of the city, and Xiaobai was the first to jump down, jumped on the head of the rhinoceros king and said, "Old cow, why are you fat again?" ”
The Rhino King said embarrassedly: "Big brother, in front of outsiders, is it okay to save some face for me." ”
"Okay, okay." Xiaobai jumped on the shoulder of the golden-winged Dapeng bird again, "Declining bird, are you still so decrepit recently?" ”
"I ......" the Golden-winged Roc Bird was speechless.
Seeing Xiaobai bullying the Rhino King and the Golden-winged Dapeng Bird like this, Mo Lin laughed secretly. Xiaobai's personality is lawless, but it is quite envious of Mo Lin, and he also hopes that one day he can get rid of all the shackles, no longer worry too much about good and evil, and be a clear love and hate himself.
Mo Lin and the others all walked down the mud worm, and Snake Sanqing patted the mud worm's head and disappeared into the darkness with it.
"Everyone, the Nine Demon Kings have already set up a banquet in the Demon God Temple and are waiting, please come with me." The golden-winged Dapeng bird said to Zhu Pingman and Mo Lin.
"Please lead the way." Zhu commented on the road.
The Golden-winged Dapeng Bird and the Rhino King were in front, and Mo Lin and the others were behind, all the way into the city.
Although it was late at night, the city was still lit up, and many monsters gathered in groups on the streets, either drinking or chatting.
"Isn't that Mo Lin?" A tiger demon saw Mo Lin and cried out in surprise.
Mo Lin heard the prestige, but it was an old friend he had met when he was recuperating in the swamp, so he waved at him.
"Mo Lin, I heard that you are now an enemy of mankind? Is this time going to live in the swamp for a long time, I think you will live here, our demon temple has wine and meat to eat, and it is a fairy-like day. The tiger demon and Mo Lin were familiar with each other, and shouted loudly.
"I'll think about it." When he wasn't an enemy, Mo Lin really liked the hearty personalities of the monsters.
"Okay, I'll wait for you to drink." The tiger demon laughed heartily, raised the wine glass in his hand, and took a big sip with his neck tilted.
Coming to the Demon God Temple, Mo Lin immediately felt that the hall was full of demonic energy, it seemed that this time the scene was very large, presumably the gathering of the nine demon kings would have such a strong feeling.
Sure enough, when he approached the Demon God Temple, he raised his eyes and saw the snake Jiuyou sitting on the throne in the center, he was still as pale as usual, and when he saw Mo Lin, the light in his eyes flickered, which made Mo Lin a little frightened.
"Old friend, it's been a long time." Snake Jiuyou got up with a smile and went straight to greet him. Beside him were the other four Demon Kings, the Tiger Tyrant, the Roe Deer, the Sky Wolf King, and the Black Water Fish King.
"It's been a long time." Zhu Ping laughed loudly.
"The last time we met, we had a lot of fun, and more than a hundred years have passed in the blink of an eye, but I didn't expect to have the opportunity to become friends." Snake Nine Secluded Path.
"We're not friends." Although it was on the territory of the demon beast, Zhu Pingman was not polite at all.
Mo Lin saw that the faces of the four demon kings behind Snake Jiuyou all changed, but Snake Jiuyou still looked as usual.
"You're still the same stinky temper, well, we're not friends, but you should admit to being my guest."
Zhu Pingman smiled: "As long as there is good wine, I will be your guest." ”
"Then you might want to try our three-day drunken brew made from the mud berries that are unique to the Swamp." Snake Jiuyou laughed and made a "please" gesture to Zhu Pingman, guiding him to sit on the top on the left.
Xiao Bai unceremoniously jumped to the top on the right, which had been empty, and it seemed that it was a place that had been prepared for him a long time ago.
"Are you the daughter of the eighth sister?" Snake Jiuyou's gaze fell on Yue Yao.
Yue Yao nodded: "My name is Yue Yao." ”
"Yueyao? Good name......" Snake Jiuyou sighed, "Welcome back to the Great Swamp, this is your home." ”
There was an empty seat on the left-hand side, and the demon kings led Yue Yao over to sit, judging from the sequence, they had already recognized Yue Yao as the heir of the White Fox Demon King.
"We meet again." Finally, Snake Jiuyou looked at Mo Lin.
"yes, meet again." Mo Lin smiled bitterly. When he left the Demon God Temple that day, he thought he would never come back, but he didn't expect fate to play a big joke on him. As big as it is today, it seems that there is no place for him except the swamp.
"As I said, you're always welcome here. It doesn't matter if you're a red dragon or not. "Snake Nine Secluded Path.
The Golden-winged Dapeng Bird stepped forward to arrange for Mo Lin, Huang Quan and the others to sit down, and even the big bear followed Liejing's side to get a seat.
Snake Jiuyou returned to his throne, majestic and solemn, he grabbed the wine glass on the table and said: "Everyone is a guest from afar, Snake Jiuyou has prepared a little thin wine, if there is anything that is not well entertained, I still look at Haihan." ”
"Okay, okay, don't say those polite words, I'm hungry!" Xiaobai muttered dissatisfiedly, he had already looked at the roast chicken in front of him and drooled.
"Then don't say much, I'll do it first." Snake Jiuyou was also very helpless to Xiaobai, and drank all the wine in the cup.
At first, the atmosphere of the banquet was a little dull, after all, the two sides were two camps, and they were once enemies. However, with a few glasses of wine, the scene gradually became active, especially with the two guys Lie Jing and Big Bear, their greedy eating caused all the demon kings to laugh out loud.
With laughter, the atmosphere comes alive. All the demon kings went to toast Zhu Pingman, and the toasts in their mouths were almost the same, nothing more than "On a certain day, in a certain year, a certain month, your old man almost killed me" and the like. Mo Lin listened to it and couldn't help but smile bitterly at how many enemies Zhu Pingman had made.
After three rounds of wine, five flavors of food, several demon kings were drunk, and even Zhu Pingman's face was flushed, it seems that the three days of drunk demon beasts are indeed good wine.
Snake Jiuyou stepped down from the throne, came to Mo Lin's face, and said in a low voice: "What are your plans to come to the Great Swamp this time?" ”
Without waiting for Mo Lin to answer, Xiao Bai jumped on his shoulder and said, "Xiao Jiu, I came back to the swamp this time to trouble you with one thing. ”
Snake Jiuyou sighed: "I heard about the collapse of the Sky Cliff, what you want me to help with can't be refining the dragon bone, right?" ”
"I knew you were smart, and I couldn't hide anything from you." Xiaobai smiled.
"I can do this, but I need to know why I want to do it." Snake Jiuyou's eyes shot a fine light, looking directly at Mo Lin, that sharp gaze made Mo Lin's heart froze, as if all the troubles and sorrows in his heart had been seen through by him.
