Chapter 22: The Maiden
The reason why I think it is a new mound is that the earth bag is not covered with snow, and there is a platform in front of the grave near the roadside, which is made of wooden planks and stones, and on which some incense and candles are placed.
There were two people in front of the grave, one old and one young. The youngest was a girl, dressed in a black fur coat, without a hat, with a simple bun on the top of her head, and her black hair scattered behind her back. The old man was a man, also wearing a black fur coat and a snow-white beard, and was looking at the things on the table before the grave.
When Ye Yinghong saw these two people, the girl also saw the convoy. He turned around and stared at them without blinking, watching them pass by. When she got closer, Ye Yinghong saw the girl's face clearly. He must have been eighteen or nineteen years old, very pretty, with skin as white as snow and a flush on his cheeks. It stands to reason that this kind of white and red appearance should make people feel kind, but Ye Yinghong glanced at her, but she felt a slight tremor in her heart.
Because this girl's gaze was too cold, so cold that even if she smiled at Ye Yinghong, pursed her lips and nodded, she still didn't seem to have any warmth.
Ye Yinghong hurriedly turned her face, but walked out for a while, and suddenly realized that something was wrong with that little grave.
Who would build a lonely grave on the side of the road?
A chill ran in her heart, and she wanted to turn her head to look at the tomb again, but she didn't dare, so she could only try to look forward, hoping to leave the vicinity of the Wujing Mountain as soon as possible. But after only a short while, she suddenly saw a small mound on the side of the road in front of her, and two people were standing in front of it.
Just thinking about how to encounter two graves in a row, the guy who was driving the car next to him exclaimed: "Is that still the two people just now?"
Ye Yinghong squinted her eyes and looked, her heart fluttered, and she gasped.
Indeed, the two people I just met...... She hurriedly looked around and found that the scene around her was exactly the same as when she had passed by the tomb before!
The old shopkeeper in the car also noticed the abnormality, and said in a trembling voice: "Owner, this is ...... Blue sky and white sun...... I've got a ghost hitting the wall!"
Seeing that the convoy was about to pass by the two people again, Ye Yinghong grabbed the reins and shouted, "Stop, stop!"
The girl beside the mound in front of her left a deep impression on her, and she didn't dare to go over-this is the demon stopping her own people? Are they in the same group as that Li Song? Do you want to rob the road?!
The carriage and horses used to run fast. She shouted to stop, and walked forward for a while before stopping, only about ten steps away from the grave and the two men. The old shopkeeper and the men of the convoy turned pale and came to see her. Ye Yinghong could only reach out and hold the handle of the small knife on her waist, gritted her teeth and said, "Two friends, did you see you just now?"
The old man still didn't look back, still looking at the offering table in front of the grave. It was only at this time that the horse stopped, and Ye Yinghong looked carefully, and realized that the old man also had a problem. He wasn't just looking, he was staring. His face flushed, and his hands trembled slightly, as if silently exerting force.
At this time, the girl smiled slightly: "Don't worry, a demon has arranged a formation nearby, so I have encircled you." We're breaking the formation, and you can get out when the formation is broken. ”
She spoke with a smile on her face, and her voice was as clear as a silver bell. But Ye Yinghong mentioned it again in her heart - she has met many people in the past few years by supporting the portal alone, but she can speak as directly as this girl, and none of them have it.
She frowned slightly, not knowing if what she said was true, or if she was deliberately mocking, and she didn't know if the demons in her mouth were someone else, or if it was just themselves?
She let out a light breath to calm herself down: "Girl, what do you mean by formation?"
The girl still smiled and said, "Seeing that you are not a cultivator, it is difficult to explain. But if the formation can't be broken, in a few hours, you will probably turn into yin spirits and stay in this mountain, and be sacrificed by demons. ”
The faces of those guys and Shopkeeper Sun changed suddenly, and Ye Yinghong's heart jumped suddenly. She boasted that she was good at reading people, but now that she heard the girl say these two times, she became more and more unclear whether she was really explaining herself or threatening.
Just as he was about to ask again, he suddenly heard a thunderous roar in the distance behind him. Everyone subconsciously turned their heads to look at the place where the sound came from, and saw that the trees on the mountainside of Wujing Mountain shook for a while, and after a while, a monster suddenly poked its head out in the forest!
Even if you are far away, you can imagine how big the head is. Ye Yinghong's men were so frightened that they couldn't speak, and the horses also neighed and stumbled. Before they could react, they saw the trees falling and the earth and rocks splashing on the mountain...... It looks like the monster is coming this way!
Then the girl stopped laughing, as if talking to herself, and as if to the old man beside her, "Grandpa, I don't think these people's lives can be saved." ”
......
In the first battle of the snow field, Li Bochen felt that he had suffered some internal injuries, and then he didn't eat and sleep well for a few days, so his body never recovered. But I got drunk last night, slept well, and today I feel that my strength has recovered as before.
Therefore, when he ran with all his might, he felt that he was faster than the galloping horse, and his legs were full of infinite strength. This should be the benefit of the flesh and blood of the demon beast, and there should be other disadvantages. But his ears were full of the wind howling, and he didn't have time to think about anything else.
Because he could hear the shouts of what seemed to be hidden in front of him. There is no one else on this road, it should be Ye Yinghong's team. They still haven't had time to leave, and they're in danger!
He took a deep breath, picked up his speed and turned over a small hill, finally seeing the road ahead.
About 100 paces away, all four cars overturned, and snow-white roe deer skins were scattered all over the ground. There were two shocking pools of blood on the ground, and two people were lying next to the car, not knowing whether they were alive or dead. There were three other people lying on the side of the road, looking like they could still move, they should be alive, and one of them was the shopkeeper surnamed Sun.
Four people...... Two less.
It was the two who were still alive who were shouting, and there was no sound in the mountains and forests on the side of the road, and they didn't know where Ye Yinghong and the Hun Armor Beast had gone.
When he ran to the three men, he didn't even take a breath. Stopped and drank: "Where's Ye Yinghong!?"
The two guys were originally shouting "Sister Hong" and "Sister Hong", but when they saw him coming, they immediately stopped talking, as if they were frightened. But when the shopkeeper saw him, he stood up and glared angrily: "You are in the same group as that demon!
I don't know where the old shopkeeper is, so he began to speak his hometown dialect in a hurry, and he was scolding in a big way. When Li Bochen first saw him, he felt that this person seemed to have some prejudices against Ye Yinghong, but now that he looks at him, he seems to care about the female owner very much.
But at this time, how can there be anything else. Li Bochen knew that he should be frightened - the soldiers he led before would also have this situation when fighting demon beasts, and he knew what to do most effectively.
So he grabbed the old man's collar, slapped him twice, and then drank with a fierce look: "I'm here to save her!
The old shopkeeper was stunned and immediately shut down. After a while, he raised his hand and pointed to the mountain, and there was no tremor in his voice: "I was chased into the forest by that monster!"
Li Bochen immediately abandoned him and plunged into the forest. Then I heard the old man shouting behind him, "Three demons!"
