Chapter 3 "Death" Chapter 172 A Jade Cicada Holds the Story Vitality dissipates and the green sheep is far away
No wonder those villagers did not dare to approach them, although their faces were nervous, and it seemed that they were frightened by the momentum of the edge birch. Since he heard that this person had seen Yuanhua, Mu Fengchun also came to his senses, and hurriedly asked, "Then what? Where is that person now?"
"My eldest brother was not there at the time, so I was naturally extremely scared, so I could only hide in the house and shiver... But because I didn't hear the door push after a long time, I hid in the window on the second floor and peeked out, but I didn't expect this person to be far away... And I see that he seems to be heading in the direction of Daming Mountain!"
"What are you really afraid of? Is this little bald donkey going to seek death?" Mu Fengchun was frightened, "How many days has that person been gone? How many days is it a few days away from Daming Mountain?"
Hearing this, San'er opened his mouth, crossed his fingers and calculated for a while, before whispering: "That person has been gone for about three days... I guess I've already arrived at Daming Mountain..."
"Do you say that this little bald donkey is not good to go to the direction of the Lock Demon Tower? I have to turn around to Daming Mountain, if I really meet the people of the Moon Viewing Temple... Isn't it... Alas!" Mu Fengchun had a headache and didn't know what to do.
"Moon Viewing Altar?" this guest officer is talking about, but the Moon Viewing Altar of Daming Mountain?" the cook suddenly interjected.
"yes, what do you mean by that?"
The cook sighed, untied the jade cicada from his neck, rubbed it carefully, and said, "The younger brother told me the story of his birthplace before his death, and I remember that his nanny's house is in Daming Mountain... At that time, he did tell me about the moon viewing altar..."
He also heard from Bao Niang that this Moon Viewing Temple is located in the middle of the Daming Mountain Range, and it is hidden, and it can only be found by crossing several mountains. However, since he was a child, except for the villagers in the village where Bao Niang is located, the only outsider he has seen is the old monk who gave him this jade cicada, and he also took it as gossip and casually told himself about the Moon Viewing Altar... Xiao heard a few guest officials mention this matter today, and only then did he know that the matter of the Moon Viewing Altar is not empty talk!"
"So, although your friend may have arrived at Daming Mountain, it is not easy to find this Moon Viewing Altar, if you go in time, you may be able to catch up with him!"
"That's right, but the three-day journey is not just about chasing!" Mu Fengchun sighed.
Huang Qilin frowned when he heard this, and suddenly spit out the words: "Sanchawu!"
"That's right! Engong is right! There is a circulation in the upper reaches of Sanchawu to the bottom of Daming Mountain, and it may be able to get a lot closer!"
...
"Hiccup!" a group of sneaky figures groped upstream along the edge of the village crossing in the dark night, one of them burping.
"Little White Snake, can you be quiet!" a man next to him said in a displeased voice.
"Little liar, I didn't mean to make a noise, what are you yelling about?"
"You're too embarrassed to talk... If you don't eat it, you won't eat it!My stomach is specially prepared for the fish roasted in the fairy furnace!" Mu Fengchun said in a strange voice as he learned Yu Siya's tone.
Although Yu Siyan had a hard mouth before, between the previous conversations, her mouth did not stop, and she plundered most of the dishes on the table, and her stomach was extremely round, and the rest of the people didn't wait to move the chopsticks, and there was nothing left.
"You!" Yu Siya's face turned red and she wanted to quibble, but her stomach exposed the facts, so she could only grit her teeth and stare at Mu Fengchun.
"Two, two seniors, can you keep a low profile! If someone finds out, it will be troublesome!" Although those villagers can't cause them too much trouble, if they are discovered, just based on the villagers' familiarity with the terrain conditions, it is not so easy to bear some stumbling on them, Wu Hao really couldn't help but open his mouth to persuade.
"Ahem... "The cook led them to the river, and lifted up a cover of vegetation, and under them appeared a small simple boat, not very large, but with which the man used it to haul goods, and which was well repaired.
"If we take the boat away, what will you do in the future?" asked Mu Fengchun.
"It doesn't matter, there are a lot of old ships stranded on the east side of this Qingyang Mountain, and they should still be usable if you clean them up. After the cook finished speaking, he looked back for a week, and quietly stuffed Mu Fengchun with something.
Mu Fengchun opened his palm and saw that in his hand was a nephrite jade with a smooth and soft color and incomparably sparkling like oil. This jade is white all over, and there are two beeswax on the back that are slightly yellow, like two thin wings slightly open, which is the jade cicada he showed to himself before.
"This is your brother's relic, I can't help it!" Mu Fengchun hurriedly wanted to stuff the jade cicada back into this person's hand, but this person clenched Mu Fengchun's fist tightly, and said lightly, "This thing is in my hands, but it is a tyrannical thing, maybe it can be put on you to show its true value... Wood senpai!"
Mu Fengchun couldn't help but be stunned when he heard this title, and then looked at this person's expression was extremely firm, although he didn't know where this person came from, but seeing that his eyes were clear, without the slightest evil intent, he must not be a bad person, and couldn't help asking: "You... Are you really from Qingyang Mountain?"
"There is no lie. The man nodded.
"What about San'er..."Mu Fengchun gasped when he said this, and said in a low voice, "Why don't you leave with us?"
"My brother left for me, how could I leave him alone! The pain will fade with time, but the guilt will get stronger and stronger... After that day, I was alive, but I was just a shell with no desire for life. Even so, I don't want to do something wrong today, when the brothers under Jiuquan meet, they don't dare to puff up their chests!
"Little liar, get on the boat, why are you stunned?" everyone pushed the boat into the river, but when they saw Mu Fengchun in a daze facing the darkness, they also urged.
"Senior Mu, what about the cook?" Wu Hao came to Mu Fengchun's side and looked forward side by side, but saw nothing.
He left. Mu Fengchun said lightly.
"Then how will this boat be returned to him after that?"
"Brother, it's really convenient to have a tool, I'll hand it over to you..."Mu Fengchun squeezed the jade cicada tightly in his hand, turned around, and said, "Burn it!"
Wu Hao was about to ask questions, but when he heard the words, he said "Ah?", and followed with a puzzled face.
...
The cook returned to Qingyang Restaurant, and as soon as he closed the door, he heard a nervous inquiry in the darkness behind him.
"Big brother, are they on board?"
The cook did not have any emotional changes on his face, and said lightly: "It's on the boat." ”
As soon as the words fell, the man behind him let out a gurgling strange cry, and then slowly stepped out, and walked into the range of the candlelight, only to see that the expression on his face was very distorted and exaggerated, and two transparent tentacles suddenly stretched out of his mouth, cracking the corners of his mouth to both sides, directly to the neck, and a slippery figure came out of his mouth.
"Hehehehe, good job, good job! When the descendants of the Jin family arrived at the Moon Viewing Altar, Mu Fengchun and his party arrived in the river, plus that, the four spirit beads were already in hand! When the five spirit beads were collected, this would be our world!" The unrecognizable figure laughed wickedly, and the laughter was very penetrating.
"Alas, it's a pity that the owner of this body is too weak, and almost let the masked boy see through this king, and almost reveal his identity. This person was proud for a while, squinted his eyes and looked at the person in front of him, and suddenly his eyes lit up, and he said in a deep voice: "Huh, where is your precious jade cicada?"
The cook frowned, touched his neck, and said without changing his face: "Maybe I was in a hurry just now and was scraped off by a branch, so I'll go back and look for it." So saying, he was about to turn and go back.
"It's getting late, it's in vain for you to look for it, anyway, I'm also on the way, how about leaving this kind of trouble to me, after all, I owe you such a big favor!" The slippery figure chuckled, and the slippery tentacles slapped the cook's shoulder.
The candlelight shook suddenly, and I saw that the shadow of the tentacle on the wall suddenly turned into a spike and stabbed at the cook in front of him, causing the cook to fall to his knees with a thud and exhale in pain, and then a gloomy voice slowly came from the shadow: "No matter how you hide it, whether it is true or false, how to hide it from this king! This king hates dishonest guys like you the most! But don't worry! This king doesn't like to owe favors the most, so I will give you a creation today!
As he spoke, he saw that the black shadow on the wall suddenly became slender, and directly drilled into the black shadow reflected by the cook on the wall, and the black shadow of the cook struggled for a long time, and finally his hands hung down, and as the candlelight on the table went out, there was no more movement.
When the candlelight was gone, the moonlight poured in, flowing freely along the broken doors and windows. In the originally rotten air, there were suddenly bursts of saltiness, and several black shadows hung upside down on the empty roof, and these black shadows could only show white faces in the moonlight.
What's even more bizarre is that there are no facial features on these faces, but there are dark spots like water marks wandering around, like a shadow, making it difficult to distinguish between fiction and reality.
In the oppressive air, everything seemed to be still, and they were frozen with each other, and I don't know how long it took, but I saw the figure of the cook just now suddenly squirm, and then let out a grunting sound from his mouth, and finally slowly stood up.
"Hehehehe, it's your honor that this king borrowed your body! Now we don't owe anyone anything!" He writhed up and down for a while, making a sound of joint friction, and his movements gradually became smoother, "It's almost time, it's time to get the wood spirit bead and the fire spirit bead back!
After saying that, he disappeared into the night without seeing how the man moved, and the black shadows hanging upside down on the roof were as if they had never appeared. At that time, under the influence of Qingyang Mountain, only half of the living people remained.
Today, the last remaining living person has also become a story.
The sun will still rise, the trees will grow as usual, the wind will rustle, the river will continue to flow, but there will never be any new life in Qingyang Mountain, making a loud cry.
