Chapter 7: The Encounter between Father and Mother
A crowd of people sat in a brightly lit hall......
"Everyone, tomorrow is the five-year treasure hunt meeting of our ghost clan, are you all ready?"
"Patriarch Huiyin, everything has been prepared, and the other tribes have also been contacted. ”
"Okay, the spirit beast (an animal similar to the mink) sent out a few days ago has returned, and the location of the Blood Emperor Lan (a very rare flower, with extremely high medicinal value, rumored to cure all diseases, it takes five years to grow and mature, and after it matures and blooms, it can only survive for one day, and it will decay and die) has also been determined, and it can be started. But this year's treasure hunt won't be so easy. "As for the location of the Blood Emperor Lan, only the patriarchs of the various clans know.
The treasure hunt is ostensibly to find the Blood Emperor, but in fact, it is to examine the ability of the next generation of ghost people, and it is also an important reference for becoming a candidate for the patriarch, and adult ghost men under the age of thirty can participate.
"Miss, are you really going?"
"That's still false. If you want to go, I can take you with you, and if you don't want to go, don't stop me. ”
"However, the patriarch has told me to keep an eye on you, and if you sneak out, the patriarch will punish me. ”
"You can rest assured. If something happens, I'll carry it. ”
"But ......"
"But what is it! Yudie, you say, am I good to you, have I treated you as a sister since I was a child? Now I want to go out and do something, why are you still blocking it in a thousand ways. ”
"I know Miss is good to me, but the patriarch ......"
"I've already decided, it's useless for you to stop me, don't talk about you, it's useless for my father to come.
Yudie knew Miss's character very well, and she didn't say anything anymore.
The gongs and drums were noisy, and the contestants were already ready to go, full of spirit and confidence. "I hope this year's treasure hunters are the elite of my clan, okay, everyone, let's go, I'm waiting for your triumphant return!" As soon as Patriarch Yin's words fell, all the contestants raised their arms and shouted, and then dispersed.
At the same time, the contestants from other tribes also set off.
"Miss, where are we going?"
"Go to Kitayama. ”
"Why do you want to go to Beishan? I don't think anyone goes to Beishan?"
"Just follow me, don't ask so much, and if there are clansmen nearby, you are not allowed to call me Miss. ”
"Yes. ”
The two of them ran for a long time, and finally reached the northern part of Yehe Mountain.
"Jade Butterfly, pay more attention to the damp and dark places, and pay more attention to the cave. ”
"Well, got it. But Miss, we didn't meet any clansmen along the way, wouldn't Blood Emperor Lan not be here!"
"I checked the records of the treasure hunt before I came, and if my calculations are correct, I should be in Kitayama again this year. Look for it!"
A maid came to the hall with a panicked look and whispered a few words in the patriarch's ear.
After hearing this, Patriarch Yin suddenly became angry, but the patriarch and elders were there, and Patriarch Yin was inconvenient to be angry, so he casually found a reason to say goodbye and go to the backyard.
Patriarch Yin stepped into the room angrily, and Mrs. Yin stood up in fright, knowing that she had made a mistake, and said softly: "Master, my daughter ran out secretly." ”
"I knew this dead girl wasn't going to be honest. Look at what you're used to her, I warned her yesterday, and told you to watch her, and you'd better let her run out. Now daughters, they don't take me as a father or as a patriarch in their eyes. Patriarch Yin roared angrily.
"Master, I know it's wrong, but Lan Xia is a daughter after all, and it's still quite dangerous to enter the mountains alone, so you should send someone to find your daughter!"
"Look, where to look, you don't know what day it is, the clan is not manpowered, she is so capable, let her fend for herself!"
"How can you say such a thing, Lan Xia is our only child. ”
Knowing that his words were a little excessive, Patriarch Yin's attitude finally eased a little. "Where's Jade Butterfly, let Jade Butterfly take two people out to find it!"
Everyone lowered their heads and did not dare to say anything. Patriarch Yin's eyes scanned around, and finally stopped at Mrs. Yin.
Mrs. Yin's face was embarrassed, and she said in a hurry: "Yudie, she also ran out." ”
This ignited the anger of the Yin patriarch, and he slapped the table angrily, frightening everyone.
"When they came back, they were locked up in confinement. Leave this sentence and shake your hands away.
Before I knew it, the sun was approaching the western mountains, and the two people who had been in high spirits all day finally lost their breath.
"Miss, the sun is about to go down in another hour, what should we do, should we go back?" asked Yudie discouragedly.
"There's no reason, could it be that I miscalculated. Hey, I'm so. ”
The two looked a little lost, but decided to hold on a little longer.
"Miss, there seem to be a few caves, do you want to go and see them?"
"Where?"
"Look, there it is. Jade Butterfly pointed to the cliff not far away.
The dense foliage obscures the entrance to the cave, and it is not possible to spot it if you don't look closely.
"Let's take a look! If not, we'll go back." ”
Yin Lanxia jumped up lightly, the entrance of the cave was a little slippery, it was dark inside, it was completely unclear, and the cold breath overflowed from the cave, making people tremble and tremble. However, the environment of this cave was still more suitable for the growth of Blood Emperor Lan, and although she was a little scared, Yin Lanxia couldn't help but slowly lean in.
The mountains and rivers are exhausted, and there is no way out, and the willows and flowers are bright and another village. The surprise came so suddenly, just poking into the two figures, through the slight light of the cave entrance, a blood-red flower appeared in front of him. Yin Lanxia was overjoyed, showing a charming smile, and her eyes were shining.
Probably attracted by the Blood Emperor Lan in front of him, he didn't notice that the threat was approaching at all. When Yin Lanxia's fingers were about to touch the Blood Emperor Lan, the sound of "hissing" suddenly appeared in his ears, and then several black shadows attacked his fingers and body, Yin Lanxia quickly put away his fingers and retreated from the cave. The black shadow pounced on him, only to realize that it was several black snakes.
Fortunately, he turned on the power of the ghost clan in time, and the consequences would be unimaginable if he was a microsecond late, thinking of the thrill just now, Yin Lanxia's heart palpitated, and her fingers kept trembling.
"Miss, be careful!"
This time it really stabbed the snake's nest, and the black snakes kept pouring out of the hole, and within a few seconds, the ground was densely packed with snakes.
"Quick, jump up the tree. ”
Is it safe to jump into a tree? Don't forget that snakes can go up trees. Not only that, but two giant snakes four or five meters long also crawled out of the hole, and it can be seen at a glance that these two are the "Snake King" and the "Snake Queen".
The snake king and the snake queen rushed towards the two, and Yin Lanxia and Yudie were forced to gradually move away from the cave. It was not easy to find Blood Emperor Lan, how could he give up like this.
"Jade Butterfly, the snakes are too dense, and there is almost no place to stay, let's separate a little, I'll find a chance to pick the Blood Emperor. ”
"Miss, it's too dangerous, don't go over. ”
"No, I found it with great difficulty, I don't want to give up like this, don't worry, I'll pay attention to safety." If I really don't have a chance, I'll let it go. ”
Yudie knows the character of the young lady, and she must not be able to stop it. I had to retreat a little further away and lure away the snake queen and some of the black snakes.
Yin Lanxia swirled left and right, the snake king chased after her, and the dense black snakes on the ground also stared at her, waiting for an opportunity to move.
At a glance, you can tell that it is the old snake king who has survived for many years, no matter how Yin Lanxia jumps, wherever she jumps, the snake king can always catch up, like a dog skin plaster, no matter how you can get rid of it.
"What. Yin Lanxia was taken aback.
Looking along Yin Lanxia's line of sight, the surrounding tree trunks were all crawling with black snakes, and they couldn't find a foothold, so they could only flee to the top of the tree.
"There is no way, what should I do, am I going to die?" The heart was beating rapidly, and Yin Lanxia was a little desperate.
The last step, Yin Lanxia stepped on the top of the tree and jumped into the air, the snake king also broke away from the trunk of the tree, and flew like a huge mouth, wanting to swallow the prey, and countless black snakes pounced from all directions.
"Miss!!" Yudie saw this scene and cried out in despair.
Having reached the highest place, Yin Lanxia began to fall, and the snake king's bloody mouth was about to touch the tips of her toes. At this moment of life and death, a stone flew from nowhere and shot down the snake king in mid-air.
"Am I going to die, ...... Dad, I was wrong, and I will never disobey your orders again. Yin Lanxia glanced at the sky, closed her eyes in despair, and waited for death. However, it was not death that came, but a pair of strong arms.
Feeling that something had been touched, Yin Lanxia opened her eyes, and a handsome face came into view. The sword eyebrows are starry, the sideburns are distinct, there is a blood-red flower in the mouth, and the broad arms are so powerful, so that they have something to rely on. At this moment, her heart raced, and she closed her eyes again, just wanting to snuggle into this warm chest.
"Wow", the two finally landed, and Yudie hurried over. "Little ...... Master, are you alright?"
The man put the "young master" on the ground, took down the flowers in his mouth, and quipped: "Young master, her headscarf has fallen off, and she is still young master!"
The man's joke made the "young master" come to his senses, and he dared to make fun of me, and was about to open his mouth to speak, but the man interrupted me.
"The snakes are coming over again, let's get out of here first!"
The three of them hurriedly jumped away. Yin Lanxia glanced back, there was a cloud of smoke in the cave, he was so far away from the cave just now, the man could still save himself, it can be seen that this person's martial arts are extremely high, but who is he?
Finally arriving at a safe place, the three stopped.
"The sun is about to go down, and I have to rush back to the clan, so let's say goodbye!"
Seeing that the man was leaving, Yin Lanxia hurriedly stopped: "Alas...... Wait a minute. ”
"Is there anything else going on with the girl?"
"Inside, inside...... The flowers are mine, you have to give them to me. ”
"I got the Blood Emperor Lan, and according to the rules of the treasure hunt, the flowers should belong to me. ”
"Cut, everything must be said to come first and come first! I have been looking for this flower for a day, and I found it first, so I can't say that it is yours in your hands! Besides, who knows if you deliberately followed me and specially grabbed flowers. ”
"I'm a manly husband, how could I do such a trivial thing, I did have something to delay the time, I just arrived, but I will never do such a dirty thing as snatching flowers. ”
"Then how do you know that flowers will appear in Beishan. Everyone knows that it is impossible for Blood Emperor Lan to appear in the same direction twice, the last time it appeared in Beishan, this time it will definitely not. ”
"I looked through the records of the treasure hunt the other day. Indeed, as you said, normally, the Blood Emperor Lan will not appear in one direction in a row, but there is a special circumstance, every seventy years, the Blood Emperor Lan will appear again in the direction of the previous year, and this year is exactly seventy years from the last special case, so I will appear in Beishan. ”
"Hmph, your brain is pretty good!" Yin Lanxia thought to herself. "Hmm...... That's not going to work, you can get the Blood Emperor, it's all up to me to risk my life to attract you away the snakes. According to the size of the credit, it should also belong to me. ”
Looking at the two people in front of him who were dressed as men and "making trouble", the man thought for a while: "What you said is right, without your attraction of firepower, it is indeed not easy to obtain the Blood Emperor Lan, that flower, I will give it to you!"
I didn't expect this man to let the flowers out so easily, Yin Lanxia was a little surprised, and there was some joy in her heart, her face was slightly red, and she took the flowers shyly.
The man jumped to leave, but Yin Lanxia hurriedly stopped: "Alas...... You and I met by fate, and I don't know your name yet?"
"Oh! In the Xiao clan of the lower ghost clan, Xiao Guangzhe. What about you?"
"I am the Yin clan of the ghost clan, Yin Lanxia. ”
"It's not early, there are often fierce beasts in the mountains, so you should go back quickly!"
"Uh-huh!" Yin Lanxia nodded happily.
Looking at the man's distant back and smelling the Blood Emperor Lan in his hand, Yin Lanxia's heart blossomed: "What a good man." ”
