Rather go all over the source

Step over a cliff and a lonely stream

Only seek to pray for heaven and earth

The elixir is a heart-warming field

Let the mountains go

Suddenly look at the moon in nine days

It is difficult to understand the mysteries of a lifetime

False intentions and true feelings are uneven

The moth has a seed and is a moth

Bitter nights are the hardest

Chen Su stepped into Qingyuan Mountain alone, according to Zhu Mo, the middle finger peak is surrounded by four peaks, and the Taoist temple is above the peak of the middle finger peak, Qingyuan Town is located at the foot of the thumb peak, if you want to reach the middle finger peak, you must go around the thumb peak. Chen Su walked forward for another three or four miles, the mountain road was no longer to be found, the ancient trees around him were firm, covering the sky and the sun, and the fallen leaves that had accumulated on the ground for many years had been corrupted into soft soil, and he stepped on it softly and softly, and every time he took a step forward, he would leave a clear footprint behind him. As the sun rose little by little, the temperature gradually rose, the morning dew was evaporated into smoke, Chen Su rolled up his sleeves, wiped a handful of sweat on his forehead, only to find that the long shirt on his body, the front and back vests were soaked, his hands on the pergola looked forward, the whole mountain top was still in the clouds, so that he was afraid that he would not be able to pass this thumb peak even if it was dark, Chen Su couldn't help but be a little impatient in his heart, lowered his head, ran for a while, only tired and panting, and looked back again, but it was still unsatisfactory.

Chen Su walked and ran like this, and when the sun was about to set, he finally reached the top of Thumb Peak, the mountain wind was howling, through the thin shirt, he couldn't help but have a cold shiver, and his stomach began to growl, shaking off his burden and taking out some water and dry food, while eating, while discerning the direction of the surroundings, between the sunset, there are four other mountain peaks protruding, and there are ridges connected to each other. After looking at it for a while, I identified the general road leading to the middle finger peak, and prepared to move forward, but I didn't take a few steps, and suddenly felt a tingling pain in the soles of my feet, and when I looked down, it turned out that a shoe had been worn out, and I stepped on a sharp stone stone, cutting the sole of my foot. Only then did I remember the shoes that Aunt Rou brought when I went out, and I felt troublesome at that time, but now it came in handy, changed my shoes, and went all the way down the ridge. The descent was much faster, and the ridge between the thumb peak and the middle finger peak was quite high. By the time the moon was on the branches, Chen Su was already close to the peak of his middle finger.

Take a closer look at the late day, have the heart to rush again, helplessly tired, and Uncle Lu repeatedly admonished, the poisonous insects and beasts are the most active at night, and the mountain road is very dangerous, Chen Su walked forward while thinking, just a hill not far ahead, it is better to find a shelter there to raise a bonfire, rest for a night, and start early tomorrow, see that you should be able to reach the peak of the middle finger before noon.

Chen Su climbed up the mound, the place is not small, there is just a large piece of rock exposed in the middle, overgrown with weeds around, put down the package, move the shoulders, and prepare to pick up some dry branches to make a fire, Chen Su said to himself while looking for it, "Isn't it very cool in the valley, Uncle Lu also said that he wanted to raise more fire, and he walked this day, not to mention the beasts, not even a rabbit." He walked forward a little further, "Huh?" I couldn't help but see that I had gone down the hill in front of me, and not very far along the ridge, there was a small clearing, and there were two fires faintly beating in the clearing, and a bonfire in the middle of the field was extra dazzling. "Could it be that there are still people in this valley?" With curiosity, he walked forward for a while, and seemed to see more than a dozen figures sitting or standing, busy back and forth, and couldn't help but think in his heart, it was better to go forward and ask them, the exact news of this Heaven and Death Pavilion, even if there is nothing to gain, see if you can beg them to stay overnight, deep in the mountains and old forests, it is good to have a companion, and there must be some fierce beasts who dare not approach if there are many people.

Chen Su made up his mind, took the package, went down the earthen hill, across the dense woods, the scene ahead was not very clear, with memory, kept moving forward, did not go far, through the shadows of the trees, a large bonfire could be vaguely seen, the burning firewood seemed to be the thickness of an arm, the flames jumped happily, and the surrounding area was bright. Chen Sugang wanted to step forward to say hello to someone, but an extremely strong figure who walked over directly made him completely dispel this idea, the figure's pale blue face, the same prominent cheekbones as the forehead, the grinning mouth, revealing sharp fangs, white Sensen, like a devil, naked upper body, a few feet long scars on the chest, just a small animal skin around the waist, the same bare thighs, barefoot, every step, there was a sound on the ground, Chen Su's heart also beat violently, at this time the most wanted to turn around and run away, and I was afraid that I would make a noise to alarm the other party, while regretting that I shouldn't have come just now, and secretly glad that he didn't shout earlier, so he had to squat down, hide among the bushes and weeds, and quietly look at the figure opposite.

The figure got closer and closer, and his mouth seemed to be muttering something, seeing that he was about to walk to the grass where Chen Su was hiding, Chen Su was so frightened that he couldn't even hold his breath, and he didn't dare to move, suddenly the figure stopped, staring at the grass, Chen Su's heart was about to jump out. After a moment, the figure shook its head, as if remembering something, and turned and walked back. Chen Su was so frightened that he broke out in a cold sweat, and at this time, he hurriedly turned around and ran, but he didn't run a few steps, and suddenly felt that he seemed to be very useless, and he didn't even know who the other party was, and he was so frightened that he turned around and ran away after just one glance? If these fierce gods and evil spirits don't leave here, they won't be able to climb the middle finger peak? It seems that there is just such a road up the mountain on this ridge, and if you go around to other places, how many unjust roads do you have to take? How much time will you waste? The moment he stood there, countless thoughts flashed through his mind, and then Chen Su tiptoed and hid back in the grass, it was better to see who these people were, maybe they were not as fierce as they were.

As soon as he hid back, the figure walked back again, only this time, he dragged a fat goat behind him, most of the goat's body was dragging on the ground, struggling incessantly, bringing up a road of smoke and dust, and walked to the bushes, where there was a protruding boulder, the figure looked back at the neighing goat, I don't know what to say, I saw his arm raised, the goat also took off, and then snapped, the whole goat was thrown on the boulder, the leg of the goat kicked twice, and stopped barking, the big mouth on the light blue face grinned, and showed a mouthful of white teeth。

This scene was too shocking, killing a sheep in such a way, Chen Su didn't even think about it, and then looked at the pale blue face, it was clearly the devil.

The blue face fell to the death of the goat, I don't know when, there was a dagger in his hand, the delicate dagger caught in his big hand, it looked so incongruous, picked up the goat, the dagger stabbed into the neck of the goat without hesitation, and then slashed down the momentum, and the goat's entire chest and abdomen were dissected.

What a sharp dagger, such a cruel demon. Looking at the bloody scene, Chen Su couldn't help but have a cold war, although he also understood the law of the law of the jungle in his heart, but why did the blue face look so enjoyable like this?

Blue Face took out the goat's heart, liver and belly, threw it aside, rubbed the dagger in his hand on the leather skirt, wiped the blood, pinned it to his waist, picked up the goat and walked back.

Chen Su hid in the grass, watching the blue face walk away, carefully observing the surrounding environment, the ridge of the thumb peak connected to the middle finger peak, here it becomes the narrowest, but also the most dangerous, the blue face They undoubtedly occupy the only road leading to the middle finger peak, and in front of them is a relatively large open space, there are no trees and weeds, it looks like a deliberate opening, in the open space, if there is a wild beast attack, it can be seen far away. In the same way, Chen Su's desire to pass from now on is also a considerable problem.

Maybe this is just a group of people who look more vicious, Chen Su couldn't help but find all kinds of reasons to comfort himself, but in any case, the idea of going forward to say hello and ask for directions was denied. Short, Chen Su walked towards the edge of the ridge in small steps, for fear of making a little noise to alarm others. Came to the edge of the cliff, there happened to be a small mountain rock, Chen Su hid behind the mountain rock, and then looked ahead, after the largest bonfire, counting the blue face, there were twelve people sitting around a relatively small bonfire, the sound of quarrel came, some words Chen Su could understand, some words were like foreign languages.

Chen Su was watching, suddenly the blue face stood up, roared something, stretched out a big finger and pointed at the person opposite, baring out sharp fangs, the person opposite turned his back to Chen Su, and couldn't see the appearance clearly, but from the blue face's expression, it seemed to be quite angry, but before the blue face finished speaking, a blue-faced person with the same fierce appearance next to him stood up, looking taller than the blue face, and slapped the blue face, which made the blue face stop at that time, and then he grabbed the blue face's head with his big hand and pressed it, but the blue face broke away and turned out of the crowd。 The taller blue-faced man seemed to be a little displeased, glanced at the blue-faced, and then turned his head and bowed to the opposite side, the figure on the opposite side waved his hand, and didn't say anything, as if he was signaling the other party to sit down, and then the voice was much quieter, as if he was discussing something, and Chen Su couldn't hear clearly.

After observing, Chen Su saw clearly, there are eight blue-faced people, each of them is very strong, and they are also as vicious, the one who just hit people should be their leader, and the other four people can't see their appearance, but they look at the back is obviously much smaller, they should be the same person as themselves, but except for the leader who just hit the blue face is very respectful to the four people, the other blue-faced people look dissatisfied and a little afraid, but I don't know who Lu Dao is afraid of? These four humans are still of their own kind.

After a moment of silence, the beaten Blueface walked back to the crowd with the goat, but by this time the goat's skin had been stripped and a long wooden stick was skewered, and Blueface set it up on the fire and roasted it.

"You have done a good job this time, and you have sent a message from above, and when this matter is over, you will be freed from the restraints. ”

This was the first relatively complete sentence Chen Su heard, as if someone was deliberately trying to let him hear it.

"Of course, the premise is that we get what the host wants. ”

Several blue-faced men seemed to be a little excited, and then one of them stood up and walked away, and after a while came back with a large wooden box under his arm, put the wooden box on the ground, opened it carefully, and then took out a boy from it.

This scene couldn't help but surprise Chen Su again, a boy who looked to be about seven or eight years old was actually packed in a large wooden box, was it kidnapped?

"Well, that's good. Among the four people with their backs to Chen Su, the one on the far left spoke, stood up, came to the blue-faced man who was carrying the boy, looked up and down at the boy, the little boy was very delicate, and he was carved in pink and jade, but at this time his eyes were closed, and he didn't seem to be breathing. The blue-faced man whined again, bent down and put the boy back in the box, while the man who had just gotten up turned back to his place. At this time, Chen Su found that this person actually covered his face with black gauze and couldn't see clearly.

The man returned to his place, but did not sit down again, "Several, you have all heard what Mu Yan just said, the person was caught, but the thing was not found." ”

The other three people also stood up, their faces covered with the same black veil, "In that case, let's go back to the top first and see how this matter should be handled." ”

"Mu Duo, take good care of this man, watch your brother until you find it, and if any of you eat him, be careful of your head. ”

The leader of the blue-faced man bowed slightly, and whined in response, it seemed that he should be Mu Duo.

"Hehe, if you lose him, watch your head too. ”

The voice fell, and the four figures gradually distorted, slowly dissipating into the air under the bowing eyes of several blue-faced people.

Chen Su gasped, he didn't see what was going on, and the four of them disappeared, so is it safe to hide here? Listening to what they just said, they should be looking for something, but it's none of their business, but if this blue-faced person really eats people, it will be troublesome, if he is discovered, he will definitely not be able to end up, and the little boy will become their food sooner or later.

Chen Su hid behind the rocks, I don't know how long it took, it was already in the middle of the moon, several blue-faced people ate the roast goat, obviously unfinished, even the bones were eaten, only one by one the face was tired, lying down on the ground, and after a while, there was a sound of earth-shattering snoring.

Chen Su hid behind the rocks for a while, listened carefully, it was indeed snoring, popped his head to see, several blue-faced people were lying down and asleep, counted, just eight, and there was not a single vigil left, this blue-faced person is really bold. Chen Su tiptoed out from behind the rocks, his whole body almost touching the ground, along the edge of the ridge, slowly through the clearing, and into the bushes opposite. These hundreds of steps away seemed to Chen Su more tiring than climbing a mountain.

Entering the bushes, Chen Su ran forward desperately, as if he wanted to get out of this dangerous place as soon as possible, but he didn't run far, he remembered the boy in the wooden box again, and he was really in a dilemma. I may not be able to save myself when I go back, and I still have important things to do, so I can't delay it. When he remembered that the blue-faced man might have killed the little boy by killing a goat, and more importantly, that he would be eaten until there were no bones left, he couldn't bear to take any more steps.

"Hey, let's die!" Chen Su cursed in a low voice, then turned his head and walked back, this time, he did not go to the edge of the ridge, but dived directly in the direction of the campfire. Hold your breath and listen, in addition to the rumbling snoring, there is also the occasional roar of wild beasts and the trivial chirping of cicadas from the mountains.

Hiding behind a tree, it should be the second half of the night. Chen Su observed several blue-faced people, and after making sure that they were asleep, he gently walked towards the wooden box not far from them. Coming to the side of the wooden box, Chen Su quietly hid behind the wooden box, supported the side of the lid with both hands, and pushed it gently, the lid slipped to the side, revealing a big gap, and a boy was lying quietly inside, looking indescribably handsome, Chen Su looked at it and pushed it, but the boy did not react at all.

The boy was not tied, but his eyes were closed. "Is it drugged? Chen Su thought to himself, how to take him away? He reached out to his nose and tried it, this attempt made him shiver in fright, the boy was no longer breathing, "Is it dead? No wonder it was in a wooden box." Just wanted to turn around and run, but the boy's eyelids were raised to Lu, as if he was about to open his eyes, Chen Su was frightened at this time, what kind of strange thing is this? But at this time, I had to put my heart sideways, anyway, I came back, I died so young, I already hated misfortune, I can't let you die and become someone else's mouth, and gently pushed the lid of the box away, grabbed the boy's arms with both hands, turned around, gently pulled the boy up and put it on his back, and looked at a few blue-faced people who were sleeping darkly, to make sure that they were not alarmed, and then went into the bushes again.
