Chapter 393: The Call of the Blood Moon
"Who saved us?" Nangong Yan was shocked and looked at all this incredulously.
"It's the Queen Mother of the West. Yin Tiancheng replied in a deep voice.
He guessed the identity of the other party from the familiar voice, and at the same time recognized that the flower that saved them was the legendary peach blossom.
At this time, the branches of the peach blossoms were slowly drilling into the ground, and they were getting closer and closer to the ground, and finally reached the ground safely.
When they left the flowers and put their feet on the solid ground, the whole plant turned into a clear spring and seeped into the earth.
"Why did the Queen Mother save us?"
Yin Tiancheng gasped and said, "Maybe it's because of Brother Lu's relationship that she loves Wu and Wu, so she stepped in to help us get out of danger." β
As he said this, he sensed in his heart that things were getting harder and harder.
Xun Chi also boasted that the location of the shelter was very secret, and no one knew about it, but now it seems that the Queen Mother of the West must know about the existence here, otherwise how could she accurately save herself from danger.
Perhaps because Hou Yi's enchantment worked, the Queen Mother of the West was unable to enter the shelter for the time being, so she could only use her divine power to repel the enemy from a long distance.
But that masked demon is different, he can come and go in the shelter freely, without the restrictions of the barrier, which is really incomprehensible!
After thinking of this, Yin Tiancheng couldn't help but look at the place where the explosion just now, there was no movement there, but the life and death of the mask demon were uncertain, and he didn't know if he had successfully escaped.
"How is that white crane, is it out of danger like us?"
When she said this, Nangong Yan's eyes were full of tears.
"I don't know, I hope it's okay. β
After saying this, Yin Tiancheng coughed violently, and then burst out a mouthful of blood.
"Yin Gongzi, you're injured!"
Nangong Yan found that Yin Tiancheng's shoulder was slandered and hurriedly bandaged him.
"It's okay, although the vitality is greatly damaged, it shouldn't be in the way. β
Yin Tianwei wanted to see if the mask demon was dead, but at this time he was already weak and powerless.
Looking up at the queen of heaven, Yin Tiancheng said, "It's getting dark, we have to go back quickly." If that youkai doesn't die and launches a sneak attack in the night, we'll suffer a big loss. β
Nangong Yan was also worried that staying here would be more dangerous, so she helped Yin Tiancheng to go back.
She is a weak woman after all, and after helping Yin Tiancheng walk a distance, she is already panting.
Yin Tiancheng couldn't bear to look at it, and said in his heart: "Yin Tiancheng, you are so useless, in this difficult time, not only can you not help Miss Nangong, but you also cause her to suffer with you!"
He gently let go of Nangong Yan's hand and walked forward alone.
After only walking a few steps, he found that Nangong Yan did not follow, Yin Tiancheng looked back and saw her delicately leaning against the trunk of the tree and panting, and his heart became more and more embarrassed.
He turned around and walked to the tree, stretched out his hand to break a branch the thickness of his forearm, cut off the branch on the pole with a sword, and then handed it to Nangong Yan and said, "The road is not easy to walk, you use it as a crutch, so that it will be easier to travel." β
Nangong Yan smiled and took the tree crutch, and walked towards the depths of this mountain path with Yin Tiancheng.
They all hoped to return to the village as soon as possible, but after an hour of walking, the mountain road became narrower and thicker, and the vegetation became denser and denser, and there seemed to be no road ahead.
At this time, Yin Tiancheng and Nangong Yan were also tired, so they had to rest in place.
Nangong Yan wiped the sweat from her face and asked, "Are we going the wrong way?"
"I don't know. After Yin Tiancheng looked at the surrounding environment, he said: "Don't worry, Wang Da said that this place is a closed space, no matter which direction we go, we can eventually go back." β
Nangong Yan said a little anxiously: "But I heard from the villagers that it will take at least ten days to go back!"
"We're not going to be that unlucky. Yin Tiancheng comforted her and said, "Why don't we build a fire, so that the villagers can find our traces." β
Just do it, Yin Tiancheng brought a bunch of dead branches, and then lit them with hay, and it didn't take long for a bonfire to be lit.
Suddenly hearing a "pop", Nangong Yan opened her hand and slapped a mosquito that was biting on her arm.
She said angrily: "What the hell is this place, summer has not yet arrived, there are so many mosquitoes, biting my hands and legs everywhere." β
After speaking, she stretched out her white and tender little arm to show Yin Tiancheng, who had been bitten by a mosquito and a big bag on it.
At this time, Yin Tiancheng saw a cluster of herbaceous plants with small lilac flowers growing on the side of the road, he went to pick the leaves and crush them with his hands, and then smeared it on Nangong Yan's arm.
"What kind of herb is this, why haven't I seen it?" Nangong Yan felt that a special fragrance had penetrated into her heart and lungs, her skin gradually cooled and did not itch, and her mood suddenly improved a lot.
"It's mint, and it smells like it repells mosquitoes. There is no such thing in Ganzao Mountain, but it is common in the land of Wuyue, but I didn't expect Dongyi to have this herb. β
"I often pick medicinal herbs in Ganzao Mountain, thinking that I am half a doctor, but I didn't expect that Gongzi's medical knowledge is richer than mine. Nangong Yan looked at Yin Tiancheng with admiration.
"It's nothing, maybe it's the reason why I used to catch fast, so I learned a lot of knowledge. β
At this time, the dark night gradually brightened, and as far as the eye could see, countless points of light were flying in the night sky.
"Ah, it's a firefly!"
Nangong Yan screamed happily, and she jumped up and chased the fireflies, like a naughty child.
At this moment, in the black night sky, the bright lights in the mountains and forests are flashing, and the sky is full of these cute little insects.
It glows faintly, light and mysterious, like a moving star blinking.
Yin Tiancheng was also infected by the beautiful scenery in front of him, he walked in front of Nangong Yan and gently put his hand under a flying firefly.
This cute little worm seemed to be able to sense Yin Tiancheng's call, and slowly fell into the palm of his hand.
Then Yin Tiancheng stretched out his hand to Nangong Yan, and the firefly very obediently followed Yin Tiancheng's big hand into Nangong Yan's small hand.
"Be kind to living beings, they will give you warm returns. Yin Tiancheng said softly.
Before Nangong Yan could reply, the firefly in her hand flew up lightly and hovered in front of her.
Slowly, the fireflies around them gathered more and more, dancing up and down around their bodies, and finally miraculously formed a circular circle of light, shining under the starry sky.
Seeing such a beautiful scenery, Nangong Yan had already thrown her previous unhappiness out of the clouds.
She couldn't help but be a little embarrassed, and she had the courage to lean her head on Yin Tiancheng's shoulder, and said softly: "Look, they are so cute, if only there would be such a chance to enjoy the beautiful scenery in the future." β
Yin Tiancheng's body stiffened, but looking at Nangong Yan's intoxicated face, he couldn't bear to be disturbed, the two of them snuggled up to each other wordlessly, starlight and fluorescent light complemented each other, and time seemed to stand still.
Nangong Yan's heart was drunk, how she wished that time really stopped in a moment and never passed.
She knew that she had unconsciously fallen in love with this man with a mysterious background, but this feeling could only be hidden deep in her heart.
Yin Tiancheng already has a fiancΓ©e who everyone admires, she is a goddess above all living beings, and she can't even compare to the other party's fingers.
At some point, the crescent moon came out of the clouds and sprinkled the bright moonlight on them, and it was all so appropriate.
Nangong Yan looked at Mingyue and said with a touch in her heart: "If I were Chang'e in the Moon Palace, how good it would be." β
Yin Tiancheng said with a smile: "If you are a fairy Chang'e, the men in the immortal cultivation world will definitely break the blood for your head, and the small Flying Feather Gate may not be able to accommodate you." β
As soon as the words fell, the moonlight became cold for no reason, and the moon gradually turned pale.
Those fireflies flying in the air, as if they were afraid of the change of the moonlight at this moment, they were like a light curtain, scattered into thousands of light chips, and disappeared into the mountains and forests.
"Huh?" Yin Tiancheng couldn't help but be surprised.
"Yin Gongzi, what's wrong with you?"
Yin Tiancheng didn't make a sound, nor did he move, he suddenly realized that he seemed to be being pulled by an invisible force and was about to fly into the night sky.
The night was quiet, and the moon passed in the middle of the sky, Yin Tiancheng was surprised to find that the crescent moon in the sky was slowly rounding, and the area was getting bigger and bigger, and it was already bigger than a water tank in his sight.
This is not a lunar eclipse, but more like being disturbed by a mysterious force, thrilling, and extremely terrifying.
At this time, Nangong Yan also saw a strange astronomical scene, and she was stunned all of a sudden.
A pair of eyes were empty, and the soul seemed to have been taken away by something, and consciousness began to blur.
"Is this an illusion, or is it an illusion of the enemy?"
Yin Tiancheng involuntarily hugged Nangong Yan tightly, his knuckles turned pale due to too much force, and his eyes looked vigilantly in all directions.
It's just that everything that happened in front of him didn't have any illusory traces, and he couldn't feel the slightest breath left by the enemy.
Suddenly, the wind howled, and pieces of leaves flew in the night sky, and then fell to the ground with a series of strange sounds.
Yin Tiancheng was surprised, but at this time, Nangong Yan broke free from his embrace and walked forward.
Yin Tiancheng was stunned, he found that Nangong Yan's toes did not touch the ground, and his body fell together when he moved, floating in the air like a ghost.
"Miss Nangong, what's wrong with you?" Yin Tiancheng couldn't help but exclaim.
But Nangong Yan turned a deaf ear and continued to move forward without any reaction.
"Who is making trouble, you have the ability to rush at me, why suffer for a weak woman!"
In the midst of the shouting, Yin Tiancheng flew forward like a horse and stopped in front of Nangong Yan.
When he looked at Nangong Yan again, Yin Tiancheng was taken aback again.
Her pair of eyes were wide open, there was no trace of brilliance in her eyes, she looked straight ahead in despair, her clothes were windless, she looked so weird, but there was a sense of elegance that words could not describe.
"How could Miss Nangong be like this?"
Yin Tiancheng secretly sighed, his mind spinning rapidly, thinking about what means to use to stop Nangong Yan's actions, and at the same time make sure that he would not hurt the other party.
As the night deepened, the bright moon in the night sky had completely taken on a disc-shaped.
Yin Tiancheng noticed the change above and couldn't help but look up.
Overhead, there was a blood moon, and the earth bathed in the moonlight seemed to be covered with a layer of blood, and even the surrounding green grass and trees became blood grass and blood trees.
But the weird and terrifying phenomenon did not end there, suddenly, a bloody light burst out from the blood moon, and it spread out like fireworks, enveloping Nangong Yan's body.
The more Yin Tiancheng looked at it, the more strange it became, and the more he looked at it, the more cold he became, and he couldn't help but shudder.
The Nangong Yan in his eyes seemed to have become a huge firefly, and his entire body was emitting red light.
Next, Nangong Yan unexpectedly flew up and flew towards the Blood Moon.
Yin Tiancheng knew that he couldn't hesitate any longer, so he flew up like lightning, grabbed Nangong Yan's shoulder with his right hand, and pointed at her sleeping hole with his left hand.
Nangong Yan's body suddenly weakened and collapsed in Yin Tiancheng's arms.
At this moment, the blood moon suddenly changed, it returned to normal, the rumors disappeared, and the world fell silent.
At this time, Yin Tiancheng had no heart to track down this unbelievable thing, he hugged Nangong Yan to the bonfire and checked her condition.
Seeing that Nangong Yan was just falling asleep by her own acupuncture point, Yin Tiancheng immediately put his fingers against her back and used his fingertips to convey his vitality.
Nangong Yan's pale face slowly turned rosy, and finally woke up slowly.
Yin Tiancheng put his arm around her shoulders and asked softly, "Nangong girl, what happened to you just now, did you fall into the evil spirit?"
Nangong Yan's eyes were misty, and it took a while to come to her senses, and she said, "It was so terrifying just now......
Nangong Yan's voice trembled, and even her body trembled.
Yin Tiancheng hurriedly took off his coat and covered Nangong Yan's body, and said softly: "What happened, can you tell me?"
"I saw a monster popping up inside the moon......"
When she said this, Nangong Yan looked at the sky with palpitations, but found that the nightmarish crescent moon was long gone, and the night sky was still full of stars, but there were no lovely fireflies.
She paused, "It's a huge, ugly monster floating on the moon. The body is constantly changing, there is no fixed shape, but the wings on the back do not change, and when they open, they cover the entire moon. β
"Monsters?"
Yin Tiancheng was puzzled, he hadn't seen anything else unusual except for the strange changes in the moon just now.
"Could it be that what Nangong Yan saw was an illusion?"
Yin Tiancheng said secretly, and then heard Nangong Yan say in horror: "Later, that monster disappeared, but a pair of shining eyes suddenly appeared in the moon, and they kept staring at me, shouting to me, 'Come back, go home quickly'......"
"Later, what strange things happened?"
"Later...... I can't remember anything. β
Yin Tiancheng was silent, Nangong Yan must have lost his mind at that time, and it was impossible to remember what had happened.
But why did that bastard choose to attack Nangong Yan, but not against himself?
Yin Tiancheng was puzzled and couldn't guess the intentions of the mastermind behind the scenes.
As he pondered, he suddenly heard the sound of stones rolling dozens of kilometers away, followed by the sound of hurried footsteps.
"Oops, is the thief who cast the illusion on Nangong Yan going to do it?"
Yin Tiancheng stood up, and the sword was unsheathed.
I only heard someone shouting: "Yin Gongzi, is Yin Gongzi you?"
Another old voice said, "Come and see, no one will ever light a fire at night for no reason." β
After hearing that it was Wang Dahe's voice from the old village chief, Yin Tiancheng breathed a sigh of relief and realized that he was safe.
