Chapter 011: Finally Coming Down the Mountain
The icy night wind blew into the barrier, rolling up the leaves outside the barrier and flying away.
There was a crackling sound of burning wood in the barrier, like miniature firecrackers. Because there was no wind blowing in, the firewood naturally rushed upward, and the burning ashes flew up along the flames, and fell one after another when they hit the interface of the barrier, like flying snowflakes.
Many of these "snowflakes" landed on Xifu's body and face, but none of them landed on the silver-haired demon. Xifu thought to himself, it turned out that this vicious-looking ogre was still a little clean, what a surprise.
The firelight reflected on the face of the little melon seed in Xifu, showing a warm golden yellow on the side of the light, which covered her, a lively girl, with a kind of demure charm.
Xifu opened his mouth, but he didn't want to upset the silver-haired demon lord, so he didn't ask what he wanted to ask after all.
The demon lord saw her appearance of wanting to speak and stopping, but he didn't bother to explore, "Call me when I am in danger at night, and ask for more blessings when I am in danger during the day." Without waiting for Xifu to answer, he slammed into her chest.
Xifu was startled, she was hit by this demon nearly two meters high, she was finished, she subconsciously wanted to dodge, but before she could roll away from her body, she was hit by the head of the silver-haired demon, but there was no expected pain, but the head was hidden in her chest, to be precise, it was melted into the "Shidao" book on her chest, and then the huge body slowly became smaller and became nothing, until it was completely integrated into the "Shidao".
I was surprised at first, but when I think about it, it's no wonder that this ogre itself is the contract spirit of "Shi Dao", so it is natural to live in the book.
After this chat between her and the ogre, she immediately connected all the important events that happened to her:
The Qiwang Mansion wants to recapture the divine book "The Way of the Master", because it wants to use the mana of the instrument spirit of this book to do something, and she doesn't know what to do, and she is not interested.
The last time he was chased and killed by Zhang Lun of the Qiwang Mansion, the appearance of the demon lord was not an accident, but it sensed that Xifu was in distress and had to appear to save people, otherwise he would be sealed for a hundred years.
And judging from his eagerness to make Xifu give up his identity, the tiger and the carrion corpse are also very likely to be demon moths made by him.
Xifu's thinking is written a lot, but in fact, it is just an understanding between lightning and flint. The moment the demon lord entered the "Teacher's Path", the enchantment disappeared, and the flames were blown to the side by the wind.
Baozi jumped to Xifu's side, shaking his head and tailing around her feet and turning around a few times, as if cheering for Xifu's recovery.
The old man who collected medicine also walked to Xifu's side, tilted his head to the left, supported his face with his left hand, and made a sound from time to time in his mouth, to the effect that he should have asked Xifu, why don't you go to sleep yet?
Seeing the old man's actions, Xifu gave the old man a smile back, then put his left hand on his cheek, pointed to a place next to the fire, and then nodded at the old man. Meaning, I'm going to sleep right away.
It seems that the old man who picks the medicine doesn't remember what happened after the demon lord appeared, this must be the demon lord's means.
Although the corpse poison of Xifu was removed, the damage to the body had been completed, and it could not disappear immediately, and the spirit was still a little weak, and after a while, he still fell asleep deeply.
......
The sun rises over the treetops, and a new day begins.
Ten thousand rays of light shone on Xifu's face, and Xifu's heart was also full of sunshine. It only takes about three hours, and she can go down to the foot of the mountain, that is, she will completely leave Daze Country, and a new life is waiting for her to open.
Xifu looked at the old man who was leading the way in front of her, her heart was warm, this back was thin, but it made her feel down-to-earth and reliable. If it weren't for this old man, she would not have gone down the mountain so smoothly, she would have to go around in the mountains, and she didn't know when she would be able to go down the mountain, maybe she would end up in this deep mountain and old forest.
For a moment, she remembered another back, that back was very tall, she just rode on that back, entered Goolan Courtyard, watched that back bargain with the old mother of Goolan Courtyard, that back got the money, glanced at her hurriedly and walked away happily.
She thought that the back might be her father, but she was not sure, she only had the memory of this one scene, and there was no other information, so she could not judge.
When the sun was approaching the middle of the sky, the two of them and a dog finally appeared at the foot of the mountain, and finally succeeded in descending the mountain, stepping on the land of Yongzhen Kingdom.
Next to them at the moment is a mountain temple.
Compared with the mountain temple that Xifu has seen, this mountain temple can be regarded as magnificent, it has blue bricks and black tiles, three houses, the middle is the main hall of the mountain temple, and one side is the residence of Miao Zhu, Miao Zhu is an old man with white hair, and he has been looking at the two of them with a faint smile. On one side is a special place for offerings, sesame oil, incense candles...... Wait a minute
What is strange is that the statue of the mountain god is not erected on the main hall in the middle, but only a wooden plaque is erected, which is about half a zhang high, the whole body is black and shiny, and a line of words is written on it with gold dust: Shrike Shanze Divine Position.
The old man knelt under the god seat and kowtowed three times, closed his eyes and clasped his palms together for more than a dozen breaths before standing up. And like a trick, he took out a handful of wild flowers from his bag and placed them under the throne before leaving with Xifu.
The old man took Xifu along the foot of the mountain for more than three miles, and entered a small village, this small village was built at the foot of the mountain, but thirty or forty households, these families were scattered at the foot of the mountain, all of them were grass roofs and mud walls, the houses were relatively low, and Xifu could reach the eaves of the grass houses as soon as he stretched out his hand.
The two of them walked on a small dirt road, with mountains on one side and paddy fields on the other, and some people were working in the paddy fields, and some people waved at the old man, and the old man also waved at the man.
In front of a small mud house on the side of the road, the old man stopped. Standing at the door of the small earthen house, banging on the door loudly, several loud applause rang out. After a while, the small wooden door opened, and a smiling face full of wrinkles came out of it, "Old thing, why did you come back." The voice was low and loud, a little less like a woman's voice, more like a man's voice, and when I heard it, there was a pungency in it.
Then she saw Xifu behind the old man, and the old woman paused for a while, and said, "Ah, old thing, whose girl doll have you tricked back!" As she spoke, she quickly opened the door, gave Xifu a warm smile, and let the two of them in.
As soon as you enter the door, the light is dim, and after a while, Xifu can see the furnishings in the house, which should be the living room and dining room, and in the middle is a square wooden table, and there is a long wooden bench on each side of the wooden table. On the other side, there is a bamboo chicken coop against the wall, and there is no chicken poop in the chicken coop.
