Chapter 2: Out of the Mountain

Approaching the evening, Xiao Feng delivered the meal on time, and she asked Xiao Feng, "Xiao Feng, do you know how to go out of the mountain?" ”

Since the mountain ghost didn't want to send her away, she went by herself.

Xiao Feng tilted his head and asked, "Madame, does you want to go out?" ”

Xihe once again corrected uncomfortably, "Just call me Xihe." ”

Xiao Feng disagreed, and continued to answer, "Madam, if you want to go out of the mountain, you have to find the permission of the mountain ghost, this matter is something that I can't wait for the little demon to do." ”

Seeing that Xi He was silent, she lowered her voice and said in her ear, "Madam, although the mountain ghost has not been close to women for so many years, Xiao Feng feels that the adult has a friendship with you, and if you go to talk to him, he will definitely take you out of the mountain." ”

He smiled perfunctorily, only she knew that it was not like this, but she still asked pretendedly, "Then do you know where he is now?" ”

When she said this, her eyes kept staring at a token with the word "Xiaofeng" pinned to Xiao Feng's waist.

That is Xiao Feng's pass token, she has observed, almost everyone in the Taiyou territory has a token engraved with their own name, if she guesses correctly, with this card will be able to get out of the mountain.

"I don't know the whereabouts of Lord Mountain Ghost." Xiao Feng didn't notice that Xi He had already taken her waist card away from her side when she answered.

When Xiao Feng took away the dishes and chopsticks in front of him one by one, Xi He smiled at her, Xiao Feng turned around and walked out, and suddenly stopped when he was about to step out of the door. ”

Xihe nodded at her, and when she turned to leave, the shallow smile on her lips disappeared, and she stared at the token in her hand, with a hint of apology in her eyes, more joy and hope.

Without hesitation, she took out the baggage she had packed in advance from the quilt, and when she walked to the door, she left the Sky Cliff after making sure that there was no one around.

She walked along the path under her feet, and after walking for a while she found herself spared again, and she continued along the path until the moon shone on her, when she lost her direction completely.

Tired, she spread it directly to the ground, a little depressed, her stomach was untimely at this time, she touched her belly that kept screaming, and her heart was even more depressed.

When she was hurting, there was a whirring sound in the jungle next to her, which frightened her to stand up, and without saying a word, she picked up her luggage and ran forward, if it weren't for the bright moonlight of the fifteenth, she might have fallen into the grass that she didn't know.

She finally stopped under a tree, and I have to say that this mountain realm is not only large, but also mysterious and winding, and she seriously doubts that the flowers and trees in the too secluded realm are all open.

As soon as she looked up, she was attracted by a faint light not far away, and she slowly touched the faint light, and when she got closer, she found that it was actually a cave.

The light shone from inside the cave, and she gathered the burden on her shoulders, stretched her head and cautiously walked into the cave, the brighter the light became, and the lower the temperature became, like the cold of falling into the abyss of the River Styx.

After walking through the narrow and extended wall road, the scene in front of her suddenly opened up, the water vapor in the air was ethereal, covering her vision, she shrunk her thin shoulders, shivered, just stepped out of her left foot, suddenly, her feet were empty, she fell into it unexpectedly, it was a pool, the pool water was cold into the shares, and there was a faint fragrance of flowers.

As soon as one of her hands touched the shore, she was dragged backwards by an invisible force, making a long arc through the water, and the splash broke the fog on both sides, until she stopped when she hit a solid wall of flesh.

She rubbed her vague eyes, looked up, and bumped into those purple eyes without a trace of temperature, she was stunned in place, her chest suddenly tightened, her eyes widened, and she regretted a hundred times in her heart, she shouldn't have come in.

His gaze swam down from her face, and finally stopped at the burden on her arm, his voice was not as mellow as before, but a little more cold, and he asked knowingly, "Want to go?" ”

She stared into his eyes and heard him say, "You can't go yet." ”

With that, he let go of the hand that was around her waist.

Xihe reacted when he heard this, frowning, very puzzled, "Why can't I go?" ”

The mountain ghost only glanced at her faintly, his head hung slightly, and his two arms were on the stone bank behind him, as if he was deliberately enduring something, and his expression was heavy.

Xihe couldn't see the emotion in his eyes, but she noticed that his face was very white, much whiter than usual, and he looked sick, and she asked him worriedly, "You, are you okay?" ”

He still didn't speak, he didn't look at her, and she felt more and more that something was wrong with him, but after thinking about it, wasn't this a good opportunity for her to run away?

Thinking of her, she turned around and climbed to the shore with her baggage, at this time, the man behind her coughed violently, and a mouthful of blood instantly stained the pool red, so startled that she immediately turned around, and after a while in her heart, she gritted her teeth and swam towards him again, holding one of his arms, and asked with some difficulty, "Why are you still vomiting blood?" ”

The mountain ghost looked at her sideways and asked angrily, "Didn't you run away, why did you come back again?" ”

"You're like this, and don't forget to joke with me, you better don't talk yet." She raised her hand, and a stream of transparent aura continued to flow from her veins towards his chest, and soon, the blood curse on his body was suppressed, and the mountain ghost raised his head to look at the thin woman in front of him, and a trace of shock crossed his eyes.

He hooked his lips, put his arm around her shoulders, and with a wave of his robe, led her back to the Celestial Cliff.

After walking around, Xihe returned to the original room, and as soon as she landed, she got out of his arms with a wet burden, lowered her head and shook the hem of her soaked clothes, glanced at the mountain ghost whose face was still a little pale, and asked, "You... Are you okay now? ”

"Hmm." He pulled out a faint smile, nodded, and suddenly said, "Tomorrow, the Japanese monarch will go out of the mountain with you." ”

Xihe thought that he was moved by his righteousness, his eyes lit up instantly, and he smiled happily, "Then there is Lord Laoshan Ghost." ”

Seeing that she agreed so easily, I guessed that she might not understand what she meant, and said, "What Benjun said is to go with you." ”

The smile on her face froze, and she wondered, "Why are you with me?" ”

She went to look for the Nuwa Stone, not to play.

"You also saw it just now, the blood curse in this gentleman's body, only you can solve it, otherwiseβ€”" He pretended to pause, his face heavy on his face, and he pursed his lips silently.

"How else?" He asked uneasily, and the result was as she expected.

"Die." The mountain ghost approached her, his expression suddenly turned sad, revealing a look of secret pity, "It's not that this gentleman doesn't want to let you go, but everything in this Taiyun realm is born according to me, if I die, all the creatures in this territory will be wiped out." ”

Her eyes widened, and she half-believed, "You're not lying to me, are you?" ”

"Every full moon night, Benjun will be sick because of the blood curse, the blood curse is an ancient forbidden art, the person who curses the curse takes his own blood yuan as a sacrifice, and every full moon night the person who is cursed will have the blood of the whole body flowing backwards, life is better than death, only the extremely cold ice can still be relieved."

He lowered his eyelids, and a faint look passed under his eyes, which was extremely inconsistent with the demonic purple pupils, "And the day you fell into Wanjing Lake a few days ago, Benjun was reborn because of your blood, and Benjun was also wondering at that time. ”

However, he seemed to have guessed something now, but he was sure that the woman in front of him would be useful to him.

Very useful.

"Then why are you frozen under the lake?" This was the most puzzling thing for her, who would have thought that there was a pool of water under the River Styx.

"Naturally, he is the one who casts the curse."

"Then why did you put a blood curse on you, isn't it superfluous?"

He said lightly, "Before he found a way to seal Benjun, he tried every means to torture Benjun. ”

Xi He thought carefully according to his words, it was true, both times because of her salvation, although I don't know what calculation he had in his heart, the premise is that she came out of the Tai Secluded Realm and rushed to Changping Town as soon as possible.

Seeing her hesitation, the mountain ghost sighed lightly, turned around and said, "If you don't want to, Benjun won't force it, but since Benjun promised you to send you out of the mountain, he won't lie to you." ”

After that, he lifted his feet and wanted to leave, Xihe looked at his lonely and thin back, and felt pity, thinking that there was nothing wrong with his companionship, and hurriedly stopped him, "Please wait a minute." ”

The mountain ghost turned to look at her, and Xihe continued, "Let's not say that you took me out of the River Styx, just because you took care of me during this time, I won't die without help, but I did come with a mission on this trip, you can't ask more about what it is, but you have to listen to my arrangements on the way." ”

"Okay, don't worry, when Benjun finds the way to crack the blood curse, he will leave by himself and will not disturb him much." The mountain ghost shook his head at her, and a sneer appeared on his lips.

As soon as he left, Xihe raised his hand to touch it, only to find that the token in his sleeve had disappeared for some time.

Early the next morning, as soon as Xihe left the room, he saw the mountain ghost standing in front of Ya, he changed into a black and gold-patterned robe, and modified his figure to be more upright and slender.

A green silk shawl was discharged, his eyebrows looked at her, with a faint smile, the purple eyes were not as sharp and unapproachable as before, I don't know if it was the foil of the morning and evening, but it added a little gentleness.

The mountain ghost suddenly stood in front of her, smiled at her, stretched out a hand and gently held it on her wrist, and the fan swung upward, and when it landed again, it was already a different scenery.

The two of them walked along the path, both sides of the road were paved with a thick layer of white, Xi He couldn't help but shiver, she forgot that the world at this time was in the winter, the season of heavy snow, she looked at the thin and straight back walking in front of her, and moved forward, unable to figure out what his skin and flesh were made of, so frost-resistant.

The snow was getting heavier and heavier, and the road under her feet was getting deeper and deeper, and the stagnation of the air made her feel a little bored, she lowered her head and looked at the deep and shallow footprints left on the ground, and walked forward along the footprints in the snow.

The span between each footprint was too large, and Xi He had to jump and walk, and the careless kung fu actually hit the back of the man in front of him, and in an instant the faint fragrance of grass and trees penetrated into the nostrils, and this time she staggered backwards a few steps backwards, but one did not stand firmly, and sat down in the snow.

She smiled, embarrassed and wanted to plunge into the snow, just wanted to stand up, a pair of blue and gray boots appeared in her eyes, she looked up along the line of sight, the fingers were slender and jade-white, the bones were distinct, the fingertips were clean and neat, not time, a few snowflakes fell in his palm, instantly turned into water droplets, she raised her head to look at him, and a few snowflakes also fell on his thick eyelashes, rolling and moving.

"Thank you." Her voice was almost blown away by the wind and snow, even she couldn't hear her own words clearly, Xihe stretched out his hand to hold his palm, a warmth flowed from her palm, at this moment, she could clearly hear the heartbeat in her chest non-stop, it seemed to be much faster than before.

Before nightfall, they rested in an inn, and lay in the room with a hot fire, staring at the beams of the room, when a noise broke her contemplation from outside the door, and she got up and pushed the door open, just in time to meet the mountain ghost who had walked out of the room at the same time as her.
