Chapter VI
In one of the caves of the Mountain Ghost Clan, a lit torch illuminates the dark stone cave. Outside the cave, there were more than a dozen men in black suits, their right hands resting on the matching swords at their waists, and they were always on alert.
There are three large iron cages in the cave, one is locked up by a woman in yellow, one is locked up by an old woman in a dark green dress, and the last one is locked up with two men in blue and a young man in green clothes.
The woman in yellow and the old woman closed their eyes and said nothing, while the other three men kept an eye on the black-clothed young man sitting on the high seat opposite, and once he approached, his muscles tensed all over his body.
The black-clothed boy had two scimitars hanging from his waist, and he didn't take them off even if he was nested in a wooden chair.
He rested his feet on the table, and the black rattan patterns at the corners of his eyes looked mysterious and bewitching. He looked sideways at the woman in yellow, playing with a jade pendant in his hand.
"The mountain lord knows what to look for below. ”
He Nujun did not answer.
"It's okay if you don't speak. The boy stood up, stretched, and walked over to the cage. He crouched down and knocked on the iron door with a scimitar, his wolf-sharp eyes looking straight at the old woman in the cage.
"Patriarch, what about you, even if the mountain ghost clan is exterminated, doesn't it matter?"
"Mountain ghosts exist to protect the mountain gods, and our sacrifice is for the sake of thousands of mountain spirits in the mountains. The patriarch's voice was old and hoarse, in order to extinguish the golden fire in the mountain, she consumed too much spiritual power, but in the end it was to no avail. Overnight, the body became the appearance of this old dragon clock.
"Heh, it's a pity, there don't seem to be many mountain ghosts in Tongshan Mountain Ghost Clan. The young man in black had regret in his tone.
"The mountain god has been around for nearly fifteen hundred years, and he will not be kind enough to save you because of your extinction. Besides, it is you who have been guarding the mountain spirit, and the mountain god has done nothing but sat back and enjoyed the results, don't you feel unwilling? Why don't you cooperate with Zaixia, you can continue to live, and you can catch the mountain god and go back to the business. Isn't that a win-win?" he clapped his hands and smiled at the corners of his mouth.
The old woman was still silent with her eyes closed.
"If you Terrans do this, sooner or later you will reap the consequences!" the little boy in the cage slapped the railing and glared angrily at the boy in black.
"You're the fifth son, remember your name below...... Ayan. Uh-huh, it's called Ayan. ”
The black-clothed young man squatted in front of Ayan, throwing jade pendants up and down, smiling casually.
"I saw your sister two days ago, and you look quite alike. But she's a lot more ruthless than you. ”
"If it weren't for her, I wouldn't have been able to get in. The boy hooked his lips and smiled, and dark waves swelled in his amber eyes. Turning his gaze, he looked at the woman on his right, her eyes twinking.
"He Nujun, you should understand what you mean. ”
"You are talking nonsense, Sister Ah hates you Terrans the most, how could she help you come in!" Ah Yan slapped the iron door, eager to press the black-clothed young man to the ground and beat him hard.
He Nujun was still silent, she closed her eyes tightly, and cold sweat fell from her forehead.
"The fifth son is still young and doesn't understand the doorway here. But what follows is true. ”
The two men in blue who were sitting with their heads down were shocked when they heard his words.
Without Afan, they can't get in...... The meaning of this statement is clear.
Tongshan has an enchantment, and the human race cannot enter the territory of the mountain ghost clan. But if the mountain ghosts of the mountain ghost clan kill someone, then the barrier will be self-defeating.
Ah Fan, you actually killed someone?
"Even if Ah Fan kills someone, that's not an excuse for you to kill the gods. We will punish Ah Fan's sins. Are you now besieging Tong Mountain, blatantly violating the rules of heaven and earth, do you want to start a war with the Protoss?"
He was not afraid of life and death, and as the youngest elder of the Mountain Ghost Clan, he understood his duty better. However, the invasion of the Terrans was something he did not expect, he originally thought that even if the Terrans were rampant, they would not move the thoughts of the Protoss, since such a situation could be formed now, the Terrans would have moved such thoughts hundreds of years ago. No, I'm afraid that such a force existed as early as 2,000 years ago.
"Hmm...... Hasn't war always existed?" the young man in black laughed.
"It's just that the Protoss is sluggish, and the Terrans have already reached this point, and they haven't even found out, it's really stupid. ”
"You!" the young man's casual insult made Yun angry. The mountain god they had served devoutly all their lives was humiliated by a young man, how could he endure it.
"It is God's good that God does not want to hurt you even in the face of death. But you take this kindness as weakness and trample on it at will, and you are proud of it, are you worthy of the hard work that the Protoss has paid for you!?"
Xumo hooked his lips and squinted at him, listening to what he said.
Ayan clutched the railing on the iron gate, and his white teeth clucked.
"The mountain gods are merciful, and you human race enjoy the blessings of the gods while coveting the power of the gods. God bless all souls, why do you Terrans want to take revenge! You Terrans are simply the most shameless people in the world!"
"Good. The young man in black clapped his hands and applauded.
"When you're done, I ask you, is God seeing that you are suffering from this extermination? I think he must know, so has he come to save you?
Or, you have served the mountain god for hundreds or even thousands of years, and have you seen him during this time? The gods have heavenly eyes, and everything in the world is under the eyes of the gods. The human world is painful and killing, and all evil and cruel thoughts are in his eyes, can they be protected by God?"
"You said that God blesses all souls, so I ask you, when your sister kills someone, why doesn't God come out to stop it?" He approached Ayan, his eyes sinking terribly. "Because God cannot. ”
"God is nothing but a waste from above. They can't do anything, not even save themselves, let alone save you. ”
"God is so useless, what are you mountain ghosts still protecting him?" The young man in black did not hide the contempt in his tone, and belittled God as worthless.
Several young mountain ghosts suppressed their anger in their hearts, but they were already caged birds and couldn't make any moves.
The words of the young man in black were unrefutable to them, because they had indeed never seen the mountain god.
Yun frowned and took Ayan's trembling hand to soothe his angry brother. The patriarch's gaze remained steadfast, but her face was very tired, and she let out a long sigh with pity for the young man.
"What to call it, boy. He Nujun opened her eyes, and the dark light of Jasper's eyes flowed.
The black-clothed young man smiled and bowed down to greet: "Good night to the mountain lord, in the Lower Human Race Astrology Hall Xumo, he is the leading general stationed in Tongshan, you can call me the general." ”
"General Xu is a general at a young age, and he is really a hero out of a young man. However, the purpose of the general's trip may not be achieved. He Nujun sat in the cage, and the waving of her sleeves was the unique fragrance of the spirit of plants and trees.
"The mountain god is the belief of our people, and if the faith is not destroyed, our people will not die. The little general's vision was narrow. She looked at Xumo indifferently, her fingers flipped over, and her demeanor was myriad, even if she was in danger, she was calm.
He Nujun had a pair of beautiful eyes with water, and finally glanced at Erzi Shanlai, who had been hanging his head, and Ayan, who was in anger.
She lowered her eyes and smiled wryly. It seems that there is no way to choose a name for Ayan.
Xu Mo's eyes sank, with excitement and secret joy in his eyes. In the blink of an eye, the turbulence in those eyes suddenly precipitated. He held the jade pendant and his whole body tightened, waiting for He Nujun's movements.
He Nujun's spiritual power has not been sealed, so she can easily use the spell of the Mountain Ghost Clan to move things in the air.
Xumo let He Nujun move, what he wanted was her resistance.
But Xu Mo was wrong, He Nujun didn't want to resist, but to kill herself.
A black sword appeared out of thin air in the iron cage, hanging in front of He Nujun. The body of the sword glowed with silver light, and the tip of the sword pointed directly at He Nujun.
He Nujun's eyes were flat, with determination and perseverance in her eyes. In the next second, the sword pierced her heart under He Nujun's manipulation, and disappeared behind her when the blood splattered. The whole process happened almost instantaneously, and they didn't react.
"Mother!" exclaimed.
“...... Mother. Sugi raised his head and whispered, tears instantly wetting his eyes.
"Mother!" Ayan screamed loudly. He watched his mother fall, his pupils constricting violently.
The red blood soaked the yellow dress, and He Nujun was like a bird that had lost its wings, ending her life in a cage. Fear and fear magnified Ayan's grief infinitely, and he burst into tears.
"Don't, Mother, don't die, wow wow~"
"Damn, open the door!" everything happened so fast that Xumo didn't have time to react. He originally thought that the lives of all the mountain ghosts in the mountain ghost clan would not seek death if he held it in his hands, but he underestimated her loyalty to the mountain god.
The older patriarch's eyelids trembled, and he couldn't hold back to open his eyes, and tears slipped quietly from the corners of his eyes.
The cage door opened, Xu Mo entered with a black face, squatted down and felt He Nujun's pulse, without the slightest beat, and then went to probe her snort...... Or not. He put down his hand, and He Nujun was already out of breath.
"The sword is yours. He looked at Sugi with a hideous face, "Oh, kill your mother." He Nujun really endured it. ”
Shanlai shook his hands and lowered his head. He had known for a long time that his mother would make such a choice. The sword was also placed by him long before he was captured, and their mother and son were ready to sacrifice just so that the mountain god could keep it peaceful.
Yun looked at Sugi in surprise, thinking that Sugi had been silent since he was locked in, he should have expected such a result a long time ago.
He reached out and grabbed his shoulder, "It's not your fault. Shanlai lowered his head, his hands already clenched into fists. Someday, he will let the Terrans taste this heartache too!
Ayan's cry sounded in his ears, and Xu Mo ordered Shanlai to be dragged out with a gloomy face, and when he looked down, he saw that the corner of his clothes was wet, and he frowned in disgust.
At this moment, Yun Yun can only pray that Ah Hui and Ah Fan can escape from Tongshan as soon as possible and not come back.
