21. Get lost

When unitary, the sunset sinks in the west, and the remnant sun is like blood.

The most beautiful thing in early autumn is not the autumn wind and leaf dance in the wind, but the sunset. The red afterglow slowly sets in the sky, setting off the heavens and the earth beautifully.

"Little friend, it's getting late at this time, we need to rush over as soon as possible. ”

"Oh. ”

On the rugged mountain road with barren grass, two scholars walked cautiously among the barren mountains and mountains, one after the other. Along the way, the surrounding grass is overgrown and uninhabited, giving people a feeling of loneliness and sadness.

I met that spider demon yesterday, and disposed of the monster's corpse this morning. Both of them felt extremely sleepy, and without the corpse of the hideous monster, the sky was already bright, so they relaxed and lay down in the deserted temple to continue to rest.

I slept darkly, I was ignorant, and when I woke up, I saw that the sun was facing south, and it was already Shen Shi. In addition, the mountain road is rugged and difficult, the dense forest is deep and tortuous, and the road goes around and around, twists and turns, and it comes to this moment without paying attention.

"Little friend, this Yang Village is at the foot of this mountain. ”

"Hmm. ”

In the midst of the rattling, several crows were startled and hovered in the sky.

"It's bitter... It's bitter..."

A stone stele seems to be buried in the barren grass more than one person high, and the bitter gourd Facebook student brushes away the barren grass, and two big characters are engraved on the stele clearly visible: "Yang Village"

Liu Xingrong suddenly felt at ease, under this 'boundary monument', it indicates that the village seems to be not far away. He poured some water into two small bowls from the strange gourd, and took out some dry food from the package.

"Little friend, can you still adapt to sleeping in the open with such a meal?"

"It doesn't matter. ”

The two of them sat on the ground and ate dry food, ran all the way through the wind and rain, fought hard with the spider monster, and walked through dense forests and mountain streams, and their clothes were a little colorful and shabby.

Liu Xingrong seemed to think of something, looked into the distance, and said nonchalantly.

"Little friend, I don't know how to respect the teacher... Where did the teacher come from?"

"Worship the Sanqing Patriarch, the teacher debuted. ”

"Daomen?!"

"Hmm. ”

Liu Xingrong was stunned, the birth of the sect was already taboo privacy. If he hadn't witnessed it with his own eyes, some of this young man's unbelievable skills and unpredictable abilities, I'm afraid no one would dare to believe it. And these mysterious techniques made him extremely curious. But if it weren't for this, he would never be so abrupt to get to the bottom of it.

He couldn't help but be surprised: "Sanqing Patriarch?"

"Hmm. ”

"Daomen?" Liu Xingrong suddenly murmured, "Sanqing Patriarch?"

Why have I never heard of it, but if you think about it, maybe he is lonely and unheard, sitting in a well and watching the sky.

The world is long, and the vastness is boundless. Since ancient times, there have been thunder and lightning, natural disasters and man-made disasters. People are also born, old, sick and dead, wars, disasters and famines. There are some mysterious and bizarre things that cannot be explained. Since ancient times, Daqi has always had hearsay above the nine heavens, and there are also rumors about the mountains and wilderness under the nine secluded mountains.

What's more, there are already swordsmen in this world, reaching the land sword immortals, and even having the ability to fly to the sky and the earth, and the art of slaying demons and eliminating demons. I want the Great Qin scholar to borrow the righteousness of heaven and earth, write allusions to the Spring and Autumn Period, and write thousands of miles of mountains and rivers. There are also many capable people in the black prison division in the imperial court, and the Pure Land monks of the Western Regions are wearing Buddhist and Sanskrit scriptures, which is really a natural nemesis of demons.

Come to think of it, this sect may also be buried in the red dust market, and it will not be a hidden sect in the world.

The old man shook his head self-deprecatingly.

"Little friend, I see that it's getting late, why don't you and I continue to hurry?"

The peach coat emblem looked up, and after a meal, the sunset was completely gone, and the sky was already a little dark.

"Good. ”

..................

The crescent moon hangs high, and the moonlight pours down. It's just that I can't shine through the layers of branches and buds, and the forest is getting more and more drowsy.

The two scholars walked in the dark in a dense forest, stepping on the dead branches and rotten leaves rustling with one foot deep and one shallow. The bitter gourd Facebook student hesitated a little, how could there be any villages and towns around, not to mention the traces of people, even the barking of chickens and dogs, and he suddenly stood still.

"Strange, how come there is no village after this boundary monument?"

"Old man, is it a mistake?"

The bitter gourd Facebook student took off the burden on his shoulder, fumbled and took out a folded square from it and slowly unfolded it, and then groped out candles, flints, and oiled paper from the package in turn.

"Smack. ”

The flint lit the oiled paper, and a white lantern emitted a dim light in the dark forest, but only a vague sight could be seen.

"Xiaoyou, I'm dizzy, I don't know where it is?"

"I can't see it clearly, so it's better to go and see. ”

When the two scholars approached, they found that the hazy black shadow was just a spire-shaped mound of earth. It seems that it has been barren for a long time, no one to guard, no one to worship, only a few big trees to shade it, such a simple and unpretentious dense forest grave mound, but they are terrified.

A gust of night wind blew, and the two of them walked sweating, and suddenly felt cold on their bodies......

"It's strange, little friend, it's better to ......"

"Old man, let's go!"

Carrying a white lantern, the two hurriedly escaped from the grave in the forest that sent chills down their spines.

In the night, the woods were full of rocks and fallen dead wood roots, and the moonlight could only squeeze in through the cracks in the trees, and the shadows around them were full of fangs and claws, as if something lurked in the darkness.

"Little friend, if that spider monster lurks in it..."

"Clams?!"

At this moment, the old man's cautious worries are becoming more and more creepy. The light of the light is reflected on the face, and the face of the person who shines is pale, which looks more and more eerie in this layered and silent dense forest.

"Is it possible..." Scarface muttered dumbfoundedly and lowered his head, "Really made a mistake?"

"Little friend, why don't you leave?" The bitter gourd Facebook student pushed Scar Facebook's body in a daze, but found that the person in front of him didn't move at all.

He hurriedly took the lantern and shone it in front of him, and when he looked up, the cold moonlight sprinkled down, which made his heart startle.

"This...?"

In the soft white light of the flame, a spire-shaped mound of earth reappeared.

Like, they've got to get back to square one again!

"Little friend, let's go!"

The two of them walked in the dense forest again in despair, and only a rustle sounded under their feet in the silence of everything. In this strange atmosphere, it seems sudden and harsh.

"Little friend, maybe... I didn't see the direction just now. ”

"However, we are clearly going in the opposite direction. ”

I don't know how long I walked through this deep and silent dense forest, and a lantern in my hand suddenly fell on the dead leaves and rotten branches unconsciously, and the bitter gourd face was stunned, and almost screamed in fright.

"This!?"

Scarface's eyes froze, and the hand holding the firewood knife tightened a little, and they actually returned to this strange forest grave.

"What can I do?"

"Don't panic, little friend, let's take a look again!"

There was no sound in the four fields, only the faint sound of wheezing and footsteps.

Both of them noticed the strangeness in the dense forest, and for the third time they walked in the opposite direction to the tomb. While cautiously observing from all sides, the wind is on guard.

As if he was afraid that something terrible would suddenly burst out of this dark and boundless dense forest.

While he was walking, the bitter gourd Facebook student suddenly paused, his face sank, and he was a little puzzled.

"Little friend, have you heard anything?"

"Huh!?"

Scarface's heart was shocked, and he hurriedly listened carefully.

It seemed like a gong sounded, and it seemed that someone was beating a drum, and I didn't know if it was the Qin dialect or the Peking Opera......

"Pear blossoms bloom, spring brings rain, pear blossoms fall, spring into the mud, this life is only for one person..."

"Go and say that he is a king, and he is also infatuated, and his natural beauty is difficult to give up..."

“......”

There were strange singing voices in this dense forest......

"It's weird!" Scarface was a little confused, "Is there anyone?"

"Go see?"

"Good!"

Melodious and frustrated, sonorous and sad singing, as if close at hand, and as far away as the end of the world. Since they couldn't get out of this dim dense forest, the two had to be bold and walk towards the place where the singing came from.

The bitter gourd Facebook student looked at the front in a daze, and his heart became more and more confused.

"Strange, little friend, why is this voice gone? Huh? How did you come here again? ”

In front of me is still the grave in the forest, and the melodious, sonorous and sad singing voice suddenly died down.

"...... this?"

Scarface's body trembled, but his eyes were staring at the front, and he didn't dare to turn his head for half a minute.

A cold crescent moon shone on the ground. In front of him, on the grave in the forest, there sat a demon with a big head and a scrawny bon, whose hair was upside down, and there were horns in the bushes, and wings on its back. It looked extremely hideous, and strange eyes the size of a demon's copper bell were staring at them.

"Little friend, little friend?!"

seemed to have discovered the peach coat emblem in a daze, Liu Xingrong pushed her body.

"Old man, can you see it?"

"See?" Liu Xingrong was stunned when he heard this, "What do you see?"

The hideous demon stared at the strange eyes like brass bells, and actually stood up and jumped down from the mound, as if he noticed that the scholar in front of him seemed to be able to see him. The hideous ghost, curious, leaned closer, and a hideous strange face was posted in front of the scar-faced scholar.

The peach coat emblem only felt fishy, and an unpleasant smell came to her face, making her disgusted.

"You can see me?"

The demon looked at the scholar in front of him suspiciously, but saw the scar-faced scholar looking away as if he didn't notice it.

"Don't pretend, I know you can see me!"

Scarface's face remained the same, only slightly turning his head to look away. The demon smiled fiercely, as if he had realized that it was just a misunderstanding, and when he turned around, he jumped into the mound and disappeared, as if he had jumped into the water.
