Chapter 121: The whereabouts of the Cold Lotus Demon
Dugu Che came in from outside with food, Mengzi glanced at him thiefly, and immediately trotted away with his waist, he didn't want to provoke this great god.
"Are you back, are you tired?" Li Wanxiao put the meat aside, and saw Dugu Che carefully holding the tray, and hurriedly stepped forward to help.
"Not tired. Dugu Che shook his head slightly, put the plate on the ground, and helped her prepare the vegetables very easily.
"Everyone practiced hard today, and Mu Qianluo ordered to add vegetables, these are all for you. ”
The little girl's eyes widened, watching Dugu Che bring out a plate of side dishes, and the camp tent was suddenly full of aroma.
"Isn't it, so hearty?" Li Wanxiao couldn't help but count on her fingers, and there were five dishes! Two vegetables and one meat, plus a bowl of broth and a small plate of unknown fruits, and finally a bowl full of white rice in a small wooden bowl.
"This ...... There were so many that I couldn't finish it. "Her meal is not small, but there are enough meals for two people, she must be stupid to stuff them all into her stomach!
"It's okay, you eat first, and I'll help you finish the rest. Dugu Che glanced at her, and suddenly said, "What did Mengzi give you just now, mysterious and mysterious?"
"Ahh
Dugu Che motioned to the little girl to eat first, took the piece of meat and sniffed it, frowning slightly, "This is snake meat, it can be left for a long time after being smoked and will not rot, you can keep it for the way back to eat." ”
"Snake meat?" Li Wanxiao bit her chopsticks and was stunned for a moment, and then she was so happy that she almost bit her tongue, "I like to eat this!" When I was a child, I went to the mountains with a group of children and caught snakes, skinned snakes, disemboweled, washed and roasted in the fire, the fragrance, smelled really drooling, I didn't think that Brother Jun they were quite good at eating, I haven't tried to use smoke. ”
After that, the little girl grabbed it and was about to put it in her mouth, Dugu Che hurriedly raised her hand to block it, "Why are you so greedy?" This snake stays at the junction of humans and demons all the year round, and has been soaked in demonic energy for many years. ”
"Why? No matter how demonic this snake is, it's already cooked, it's just a piece of meat, isn't it?" the little girl muttered.
Dugu Che was not used to her, so he directly wrapped the snake meat and said slowly: "The reason why you don't feel the demonic qi now is because the amulet you gave you can help you resist, but if you accidentally get contaminated with evil things, it is equivalent to breaking this layer of protection from your body, and it is likely to provoke yin evil like Han Qingbo, for the sake of safety, it is better to leave it until we go out before eating." ”
"Okay. It's rare for Dugu Che to say so many things in one breath, which shows how much he is opposed, so he doesn't insist on eating no matter how greedy Wanxiao is, and there will be nothing wrong with listening to the words of the eldest brother!
"Do you want to watch the evening drills?" Dugu Che sat on the side and watched her eat and drink, and told her from time to time to drink soup and don't choke.
"Yes, of course!" Li Wanxiao swallowed his food hard, looked at him with big eyes, and said, "Didn't you say that the art of war is not easy to learn? Then I will take this opportunity to take a closer look, maybe this girl is the general in your mouth, and she can also be a female general on the battlefield in the future!"
As soon as these words came out, Dugu Che smiled helplessly: "Do you still want to be a female general? It's good to have this ambition, but you have to take your time and not be in a hurry." I'll accompany you to see it at night, and when you're full, you'll get some sleep, and I'll call you before the drill begins. ”
"Uh-huh, good!"
Give him a big smile, and the little girl continues to gobble up. She thought about it when she was watching the drill before, and she was afraid that she wouldn't be able to wait for three days, after all, Han Qingbo's accident was also to help her, so Li Wanxiao decided to ask Mu Qianluo for clues in advance, and set off to go back immediately after finding the Yin Yang Flower, and by the way, Han Qingbo was sent back to Lingshan and handed over to Yun Feiyang for treatment.
So, Li Wanxiao went to bed after eating a full meal, wrapped in a blanket and habitually shrunk beside Dugu Che to keep warm. And Dugu Che didn't think she was clingy, he sat honestly, put down one leg to use as a pillow for her, and lowered his head slightly to think about things.
In the tent, everyone is closing their eyes and recuperating, although it doesn't matter to them whether they sleep or not, it is still a very comfortable thing to close their eyes and empty themselves, at least to pass the time.
After a simple grooming, the half-demon plum pulled up her long hair with a hairpin, walked in and took a look, and then silently walked to Dugu Che and sat down.
The bewitching woman arranged her skirt and said in a low voice: "Mu Hua has sent news, the Leng Lotus Demon did not go back to Nancheng after leaving from the border, but seemed to be missing, Bai Wuxian took out a lot of people to look for it, and there is no news so far." ”
"Hmm. Dugu Che closed his eyes and replied lightly.
"Mu Hua's current offensive is very fast, Nancheng has been defeated, and the next one is the Nantian Temple. Half-Demon Mei reported the news she had just gotten one by one, and did not forget to add, "Bai Wuxian is in a hurry now, it is a good opportunity for us to win Nantian in one fell swoop, but ...... Things were going so well that I always felt that something wasn't quite right. ”
The Cold Lotus Demon is by no means an idle person, otherwise he would not have obtained such a high status in the God Realm, seeing that the war in the south is urgent, it is really not a wise move for him to disappear at this time. But he did this, so in addition to the possibility that the Cold Lotus Demon was insane, the other was that he was brewing a conspiracy.
"Let Mu Hua stop at the door of the temple, and leave no trace to find someone. Dugu Che lowered his voice and said lightly, "Look at what tricks the Cold Lotus Demon is playing." ”
The time has not yet come, it does not mean that he has to sit back and wait for the other party to set up the net, and taking precautions is what he is best at.
The half-demon plum nodded, said no more, and walked straight out.
Looking at the sleeping little girl beside her, Dugu Che's cold and hard heart softened a lot. No matter how stormy it was outside, he would leave this girl with a clear and cloudless sky and give her the greatest protection.
In fact, the Cold Lotus Demon was not missing, he was just tripped up when passing by a small village where famine was rampant.
Looking at the large number of victims in front of him, the Cold Lotus Demon only felt a burst of pain in his head.
The reason for the incident was this, he planned to leave for the south after going around the miasma forest and the Gobi Desert without finding anything, after all, he knew that the war was urgent, and Bai Wuxian was very likely to be unable to hold the formation. Mu Hua's reputation for being brave and good at fighting is not called in vain, this person is deeply trusted by the half-demon plum, and naturally has his advantages.
It's just that on the way back, the Cold Lotus Demon did something that he regretted very much. He found a scrawny little boy in a deserted field, and wanted to pretend not to see it, but the boy reached out in a daze and grabbed his trouser legs, and refused to let go, begging him to stutter for food.
In this way, under the bitter begging of the little boy, the cold lotus demon took out a few cakes that he had bought casually from a small town before, and as soon as he handed them to him, the little boy immediately pounced and gobbled up those exquisitely made cakes into his mouth, and his black palms were full of crumbs.
When the cold lotus demon saw it, he couldn't bear it. He is a god, natural disasters and man-made disasters in the mortal world, and the changes in the world have nothing to do with him, but he finds that when this kind of thing really happens in front of his eyes, the extreme desire to survive still makes him can't help but be a little moved.
The little boy regained some strength after eating, and he stood up with his body propped up, and wept of gratitude to his benefactor, and warmly invited him to sit in the village. Leng Lian Demon pondered the time for a while, it was a big deal to go back a day or two late, and Bai Wuxian would not be unable to hold on. So under the guidance of the little boy, he soon entered a desolate and dilapidated village. The boy told him that there had been no rain for more than two years, that the crops in the fields had died of drought and that even the wells had dried up. The surplus food they had accumulated had long since been exhausted, and now they could only beg God to give them a way to live.
The villagers hadn't seen outsiders for a long time, and suddenly saw the little boy leading the cold lotus demon in, and immediately hula and cheered around as if he had seen a savior. In this way, the cold lotus demon suddenly realized what a stupid thing he had done.
If you save one person, you must save everyone, otherwise these villagers are likely to bite him back, and he is convinced of the truth that human nature is evil. But the matter of rain has been under the jurisdiction of the rain god and the dragon king for thousands of years, they have their own set of plans, and no one can easily interfere with them, even if he is a god, he must abide by the way of heaven.
And there must be a reason for the drought here for many years, so that they deserve this calamity, and whether they can survive the calamity can only rely on themselves, and no one can help.
Thinking of this, looking at the large number of villagers kneeling on the ground and begging, the cold lotus demon's originally somewhat wavering compassion still endured after all. Order must not be disordered, and God cannot violate the laws of heaven!
Seeing that their begging was unsuccessful, the villagers cried and rushed towards him, and the cold lotus demon suddenly frowned. The Three Realms have had an agreement since ancient times that no one in the divine realm is allowed to hurt people in the mortal world, and those who violate it will be punished by heaven. This is also a means to maintain the balance of the Three Realms, but at this time, it just restrains the hands and feet of the Cold Lotus Demon.
"Don't do that, he's a good man. The little boy held his strength in front of the cold lotus demon, protecting the great benefactor who gave him food behind him, even if he had just turned eight years old and was still a hairy boy, he also knew about Entu.
The cold lotus demon glanced at the boy, with a little doubt in his eyes.
"Child, what's your name?
"My name is Wang Ke, my brother is really sorry, you can go quickly. The boy's eyes were full of water, but he couldn't hold back the tears.
