Chapter 142: Yue'er's Past
Gu Yuchen originally felt a warm and soft touch on his forehead as soon as he woke up, but when he opened his eyes, he saw Lu Jin's big face and some panicked eyes.
Before he had time to think about it, he saw that Lu Jin got up so fast, what Lu Jin didn't see was that Gu Yuchen actually smiled when she got up.
Even on the face with a human skin mask, the smile is still good.
"Master Gu, don't get me wrong, we were hit by the illusion just now, and now that the illusion has been lifted, I just want to see your condition. Lu Jin hurriedly explained, speaking quickly.
Gu Yuchen nodded with a straight face, clasped his fists and saluted, "Then thank you Uncle Mu." ”
may be because he was too flustered, Lu Jin lost his previous shrewdness, and he didn't see Gu Yuchen's deliberate language and actions at all.
What Lu Jin didn't notice was that when she encountered a nightmare, in order to save Gu Yuchen, she also entered the sea of knowledge with her forehead on her forehead to save him, but Lu Jin at that time was not panicked at all except for embarrassment.
The second one to wake up was Yi Yun, and Ku Cen also followed, but when Han Xiaowan and Zhang Shu woke up, they were one stick of incense later than everyone else.
At this time, everyone was on the bank of the river, and when Lu Jin and the little girl were fighting, Lu Jin and Qingluan deliberately led the little girl to the shore with everyone.
Otherwise, everyone would be unconscious, and it would not be a simple matter for Lu Jin to go to the river to fish for people one by one.
The time when Han Xiaowan and Gu Yuchen woke up was the normal time, and it was incredible that Gu Yuchen could wake up in front of Yi Yun and Ku Cen.
The most incredible thing is that Gu Yuchen's divine sense is very normal, although it is stronger than the divine consciousness of the monks of the same period, but it is not beyond the normal reaction, that is to say, he did not wake up because of the strength of his divine sense.
However, Lu Jin was embarrassed to ask in front of everyone at this time, so he could only hide this doubt in his heart.
Rong Zhong is a lucky guy.
He was already deep in a dream, and his consciousness was asleep, but the little girl didn't have much effort to control his body, but his consciousness had talked about a catastrophe and was not confused.
Controlling his mind through singing, Lu Jin felt even more magical when he looked at the river after listening to the information that Ling learned from the little girl's memory.
If you wear a hundred ways to return to the sea, this river will eventually return to the sea, and this river will go in one direction, and it will eventually be a sea.
There is no end to this river, and the place where you want to find its origin is the sea.
There was once a merman who came here in one direction of the sea, but was killed and swallowed by this little girl.
After the little girl gained the ability of the merman, because of her strong consciousness, she had resentment, and her ability to tell her grief and resentment with her singing voice and control people's hearts and minds was much stronger than that of the merman.
The most special situation of this river is that many stars will be reflected at night, and during the day, although this river is similar to an ordinary river, if you hold the water, you will find that the river is unusually clear.
And the big tree that the little girl came out of was actually a dryad.
The little girl died on the Dryad, but not by the Dryad.
Speaking of which, the dryad is quite innocent, it is not easy for plants and trees to become essence, and its location is even more embarrassing, it grows in a small land surrounded by rivers, and it cannot be called an island where it takes root.
Such a comfortable tree, coupled with its location, is so peculiar that it is regarded as a place of sacrifice.
There used to be a group of people living near the river.
The civilization of these people is still in the era of hunting, hiding from monsters, making clothes from animal skins, and roasting meat to satisfy their stomachs, and they believe in the power of nature and the river gods.
So every year, a child is chosen to come here to worship the river god and pray that the river will not flood the place where they live.
The method of this sacrifice is to throw the child into the hollow of the tree, block the exit with a stone, and leave the child to fend for himself.
But that's just it, I haven't seen the children in the past become water ghosts, and the children who starved to death in the tree cavity have no contact with water, and the children are ignorant, and their minds are relatively pure, even if they have grievances, they will not become the climate.
But little girls are an exception.
Lu Jin heard this and hurriedly told Ling to shut up, this kind of story was really worrying, she didn't want to hear it.
Ling continued to speak despite Lu Jin's obstruction.
It turned out that the little girl Yue'er's grandmother was a sorcerer in the clan, and the sorcerer's daughter married a man who opposed this kind of sacrifice, and the sorcerer was quite dissatisfied.
Before Yue'er grew up to die, she only saw her grandmother on the day of the sacrifice.
Yue'er not only looks very similar to Lu Jin, but even her personality before her death is very similar.
She had open-minded parents, but after all, her parents were just ordinary people who opposed this cruel sacrifice, and when the sorcerer predicted that Yue'er would be the next child to be sacrificed to the river god, her father died at the hands of his own people to protect her, and her mother was captured by the sorcerer's grandmother.
The sacrifice did not die immediately, and unlike other children who were sacrificed, Yue'er would never give up until the last moment.
So even if she was blocked by the back of the tree hole thrown in, Yue'er still struggled desperately, just like she was trapped by Lu Jin at that time, and she didn't give up struggling.
I climbed up through the hole in the trunk of the tree, and climbed out of the relatively large hole that was not blocked above.
However, this tree is much bigger and taller than Lu Jin and the others are now far away.
Even if she barely managed to climb out, Yue'er looked at the riverbank in the distance, and the hunger and sense of detachment made her feel hopeless.
The tree had no fruit, and there was nothing to eat under the tree except for some wild flowers and grasses.
In order to survive, Yue'er ate grass and leaves, climbed trees and broke branches to tie them together, wanting to make a small raft with branches to row to the other side.
Grass and leaves are not delicious, but with these things, Yue'er will not starve to death for a while.
Perhaps by luck, the small raft that was not sturdy actually brought her back to shore, which was nothing short of incredible.
However, Yue'er was not immersed in the joy of going ashore for long before she was discovered by the people of the tribe who came to the river to fetch water.
She was thrown straight into the river again, in a more brutal way.
This time, Yue'er didn't come up again.
She resented her people, why could she be so cruel to her family, resentful of the wizard grandmother, and her words ruined her family.
Yue'er wanted revenge, and finally did it.
It's just that he still didn't have enough resentment, and finally was injured by the wizard's grandmother and fled back here.
The wizard and the rest of the clan moved away, moving far away, and the mother was also taken away by the wizard, which was a place that Yue'er's resentment could not reach.
Because she couldn't get too far away from the river.
So Yue'er swallowed the souls of all the clansmen she killed, but even so, she couldn't leave far away.
Until Yue'er was devoured by the spirit, her revenge was still not avenged.
After hearing all this, Lu Jin took a deep breath and asked Ling, "Do you have mercy too?" ”
If it weren't for the spirit of mercy on Yue'er, it wouldn't have ignored Lu Jin's objections and told Lu Jin about this.
"Isn't the difference between humans and demon beasts and ordinary animals and plants just a love word, if humans and demon beasts abandon their emotions, then what is the difference between them and animals without consciousness?" Ling did not object to Lu Jin's statement, but said instead.
Lu Jin had more trust in Lingcai at this time.
If it weren't for the Divine Turtle's attitude towards it and the reminder of the Book Spirit, as well as the Spirit's concealment from her, Lu Jin would not have been so defensive and distrustful of it.
The reason why Ling told Lu Jin about this was actually to ask Lu Jin to help Yue'er take revenge.
Thinking of what Ling had said before, there was no conflict between them, and Lu Jin accepted some of them at this time.
If what the Spirit was hiding really didn't conflict with her, she would have turned a blind eye.
It is very tiring and helpless to guard against an inseparable partner every day.
Lu Jin used to regard Ling as a friend, and now it is the same, but now Lu Jin knows that this friend has a lot of thoughts.
But since she knows about Yue'er's matter, she can't sit idly by.
According to Ling, those people are just ordinary people, and Lu Jin can not kill others, but she must help Yue'er if she is a wizard.
Originally, there was no direction for everyone to go, but now they can find the direction that the spirit said.
After everyone rested for a while, Han Xiaowan took out the formation diagram recorded by copying, and carefully found and compared the details on the formation diagram with here.
Soon, everyone found another formation eye, proving that they had indeed returned to the secret realm of the formation map.
The eye was the dryad in the middle of the river.
It's also peculiar to say, the wood forest is very humid and swampy, but there is such a tenacious tree in the middle of the river that belongs to the water, and the formation map is not a map, and the only thing that can be marked is related to the formation, and this tree is another formation eye.
