Chapter 12: The Cave
The moist and musty air enveloped his body, and drops of cool, bitter water overflowed his lips, barely sucked into his mouth, and swallowed with a smell of earth.
The body gradually regained its instincts, Qi Yuan opened his eyes and sat up, "Bah, bah, ......"
"Hey, it scared me. ”
With a "poof", a young man in white next to him sat on the ground.
This is a cliff cave, surrounded by smooth cave walls, the entrance of the cave is on top, five or six fine iron nets lock the hole entrance, through the light of a few colorful rays of sunlight can faintly see the runes all over it.
Qi Yuan cursed secretly in her heart, deeply feeling that it was the right choice for A-Niang not to let her enter the mortal world for so many years.
She really clashed with the mortal world.
"Hey, what are you looking at, you won't fall stupid, will you?"
A paw shook in front of his eyes, fanning a familiar breath, Qi Yuan only then noticed the white-clothed young man beside him, and said in a little surprise: "It's you?"
This breath is clearly the tiger demon rescued by Xiyin in Wanxi Town, he was sucked away by the demon rope at that time, and now he can't transform completely, his face and right hand are human, but unfortunately his left hand is a tiger claw, and there are two furry ears on his forehead.
Qi Yuan moved her fingers and resisted the urge to pinch it.
The little tiger demon blinked his two amber eyes, and the tiger claws scratched his head: "You know me?"
I forgot that she didn't come out in Wanxi Town.
Qi Yuan turned his head, "I admit my mistake." ”
"Oh~" The little tiger demon nodded, "Then you are amazing, there are few tiger demons in the world, and you can still know several of them." ”
Qi Yuan responded vaguely, while carefully recalling what had happened in the past few days.
In the early morning of that day, she ran all the way to Yufeng Mountain, and when she arrived at the foot of the mountain, she felt a little relieved that she couldn't get rid of Xiyin, so she returned to the teahouse and watched Xiyin crying in Gu Xianqing's arms for a long time.
After Xiyin simply ate a few bites of food, Qi Yuan left satisfied.
The fire a year ago burned Yufeng Mountain so badly that almost all the roots of life were wiped out, so that not a single grass has grown back until now, and all you can see is a bare charred black earth and countless strange rocks. Qi Yuan carefully searched every grain of ash and found that many of them turned out to be ancient trees that had become essences, but unfortunately the body was burned, which meant that the spirit yuan would dissipate and everything would be wiped out.
Along the way, I turned back and found that I had entered the depths of the mountain, and the teahouse was gone.
In the past few days, the things related to the human world have also disappeared together.
"Stupid man, stop quickly!"
A voice came from all directions, and Qi Yuan said, "Who are you?"
"I am the god of the mountains here. ”
Qi Yuan couldn't help but hook his lips, the surrounding sound was clearly using the echo between the mountains, and the sound in his ears did not carry any divine power, just a mortal.
Although he had already seen through it, he couldn't bear to expose it, so Qi Yuan also pretended: "The mountain god Rong Bing, the little girl strayed into this mountain, and now she is lost, and she asks the mountain god to guide her out of the mountain." ”
The voice continued: "You just have to go back the way you came." ”
Qi Yuan said: "The little girl is lost and doesn't know the way. ”
The voice said urgently: "You don't let this go...... Don't worry, just turn around now and see the footprints before it's dark. ”
Qi Yuan smiled: "Please also ask the mountain god to guide the way." ”
"I ...... This god has a lot of opportunities, and I don't have time to accompany you, so go down quickly. ”
Qi Yuan finally judged that he was under the first few stones, jumped over and grabbed the young man's ears and dragged him out.
"Oops, hey, it hurts...... Little sister spares her life......"
When I pulled it out, I found that it was a little boy, about twelve or thirteen years old, with a round face, dark eyes, and a very pleasant appearance. At this time, he touched his red ears with one hand, and pouted and muttered: "Your girl is too irritable, it hurts much more than my sister." ”
For some reason, Qi Yuan had limited patience for "girl's family" and "irritable", and finally pressed down the foot that was about to be lifted, and said, "Who are you? Why are you here?"
"I, I'm the god of the mountains. ”
Qi Yuan glanced at him: "Don't talk nonsense, what's your name?"
"Hey, you still don't believe it," the young man puffed up his chest, "My name is Chen Bin, and I am from the mountain god village in this mountain, Sister said that everyone in the mountain god village is the essence of the mountain god, so of course I am also the mountain god." ”
Qi Yuan sneered, "I haven't heard of it." ”
Chen Bin pouted again: "Do you believe it or not." ”
"Produce evidence. ”
Chen Bin sighed, raised his chin slightly, and said, "What you want, I have all the evidence." ”
Qi Yuan said: "Take me to see." ”
"Yes, yes. ”
“......”
Afterwards......
Qi Yuan went around under the leadership of Chen Bin, but she didn't notice the poison barrier that she had been smoking for a long time, and when the young man raised an ironwood stick, she didn't have the slightest strength to resist.
Immediately after that, he was seriously injured, fainted, and woke up in such a ghost place.
"Hey, what are you thinking? You can't really be stupid, right?"
The furry claws shook in front of him twice, and Qi Yuan came back to his senses and said, "No, why are you here?"
Speaking of this, the little tiger demon sat on the muddy ground with his buttocks, hanging his head, and even his ears drooped. "It was a man named Chen Bin who brought me here, he said that I was the Emperor of the Mandate of Heaven, but he was too angry, and asked me to go to his village to find Wu Xian's practice to rush to the evil spirit, so he rushed me here. ”
"It's Chen Bin again. ”
"Huh?" the little tiger demon's ears pricked up, "You know him too, you weren't tricked into coming here by him...... Look at your eyes should be enough. ”
The little tiger demon shrunk his neck under Qi Kite's gaze, and continued: "But don't be afraid, my daughter-in-law will be sending food soon, she has recently transformed into a demon, and she doesn't dare to talk to people." We waited here until the full moon night when she took on human form and found someone to get us out. My name is Mu Chen, what's your name?"
"You don't have to know. ”
"Oh, no, hello girl. ”
“...... Qi kite. ”
As the night progresses, you can see a little starlight through this dense iron net. The little tiger demon's stomach screamed wave after wave, and the paws licked over and over again, and after licking his left hand, he turned his right hand into a tiger claw and licked it again, until he was bald.
Qi Yuan sat aside and watched him lick around, and finally couldn't help but say, "Are you very hungry?"
Mu Chen leaned on the stone wall and hung his head in frustration, "Hmm...... I forgot that tonight is the night of the full moon, but I ate both chickens that my daughter-in-law gave me yesterday. After saying that, he touched his stomach again and sighed.
Qi Yuan was helpless, touched his whole body, and shook his head in Mu Chen's expectant gaze: "I never eat human food." ”
"Oh......" Mu Chen sat back down, his eyes suddenly lit up, "Why don't you let me bite you." ”
