Chapter 20: The Tomb of King Tang
"You said this sacred tree wants us to help it do something?" Jiang Jianqiu had already returned to the middle of the field from the bushes at this moment. There were some stumps and leaves hanging on his body, but he was not injured, although there was a reason why he was born with rough skin and thick flesh, but most of it was because of the mercy of the divine tree.
Jiang Jianqiu frowned while patting his clothes and said, "It's that the scene just now is very dangerous no matter how you look at it, how can there be such a reason to ask someone to do something?"
Yue Mingxin smiled slightly, and said softly: "Before, I rushed too deep and was trapped in its storm of thoughts. In the end, it was the Divine Tree that cut off part of its own soul and bounced me out. ”
Yue Mingxin said it lightly at this moment, but there was still a hint of fear in her eyes inadvertently. It was indeed a line between life and death just now, if it weren't for Jiang Jianqiu stimulating the Divine Tree, if it was a moment later, her entire soul would be shattered by the impact.
"Shenmu has also healed the wounds we suffered before, and my shoulder has been completely healed. Yue Mingxin smiled and said to Jiang Jianqiu, Jiang Jianqiu was stunned when he heard it, he touched his ribs, he really didn't feel the pain, it seems that his ribs were also cured by this divine tree unconsciously.
Jiang Jianqiu pursed his lips and said, "This is still a bit sincere, so what exactly do you want us to do?"
Ling Shengxue suddenly said on the side at this time: "Miss Yue, if the matter is over here, let's go back outside first, and then discuss it carefully." ”
Yue Mingxin nodded in agreement, after all, standing in front of this huge divine tree, the sense of oppression that seemed to be like nothing always made everyone feel uneasy. Then she stood up, turned around and bowed deeply to the sacred tree that spanned the heavens and the earth, and said reverently: "Thank you for the grace of the predecessors to heal the wounds, we will do our best to complete the entrusted work!"
As Yuemingxin's words fell, a breeze blew through this forest sea, and the surrounding leaves rolled up like waves, making a continuous soft sound, and the feeling of depression in the surrounding air seemed to have decreased a lot.
Everyone left the giant tree, Yue Mingxin walked to the edge of the forest and turned to look back, and said to himself with a slightly puzzled expression: "Same ......"
Mo Danfeng's voice came from the front: "Moon girl, this forest is tortuous and complicated, don't get lost." ”
Yueming's heart was shocked, as if she had recovered from her previous trance, she turned around and continued to walk forward, saying as she walked, "It's nothing, I'm saying goodbye to my seniors." As the voices of the crowd faded away, the figures of the group also disappeared into the vast sea of trees, leaving only the endless sound of leaves, resounding around this huge sacred tree.
Jiang Jianqiu and his party returned to the entrance of this Cave Heaven Realm, and once again came to the bottom of the wall of eternal rolling mist, and found that the old man was lying on the grass, and he had fallen asleep for some time. The moon spirit child's heart was up, he pulled out a blade of grass, and took it to poke the old man's nostrils, and the old man sneezed loudly, and suddenly turned over and sat up, only to find that everyone had returned. The old man rubbed his eyes and muttered, "You're back, what did that wood say?"
Yue Lingxin's eyes widened in surprise and asked, "Old man, how did you know that there was a tree inside, and you didn't go in?"
Tian Lao was stunned for a moment, and then he realized that he had lost his mouth, so he had to laugh a few times and say, "This...... It's a long story, the old man used to walk in all directions, and he also took a few photos with that wood, all of which are old things, so don't mention it......"
Jiang Jianqiu looked at the old man's speech, and thought to himself, it can't be that you offended that tree, no wonder you stayed outside and didn't dare to go in with us.
Yue Mingxin smiled, and then said to everyone: "Recently, a lot of ghosts have inexplicably appeared in this Tangyin Mountain Range, and these ghosts are moving in groups, and there is a faint tendency to increase. The thing that the sacred tree asks us to do is related to these ghosts. ”
Ling Shengxue, who was on the side, frowned and said, "If it asks us to eradicate these ghosts? And this is also a symptom but not a cure, if you can't cut off the source of ghosts, I'm afraid that more ghosts will emerge one after another. ”
Jiang Jianqiu nodded on the side and said, "And those demon beasts in this Tangyin Mountain won't just sit on the side and quietly watch us destroy the ghosts." ”
Yue Mingxin nodded and continued, "What we have to do is to cut off the root cause of the appearance of ghosts. These ghosts seem to have come from an ancient tomb in the hinterland of Tangyin Mountain. Therefore, Shenmu wants us to explore the bottom and clear the source of the appearance of ghosts. ”
Ling Shengxue frowned and said, "The hinterland of Tangyin Mountain...... What's the name of the tomb?"
Yue Mingxin blinked and said, "It seems to be ...... It's called the Tomb of King Tang!"
Mo Danfeng on the side was drinking water with a water bladder, and when he heard the three words of Tang Wang's tomb, his body shook, and he spit out the saliva with a poof, and was choked and coughed. Jiang Jianqiu glanced at him and said, "Nerd, you seem to be very excited to hear this Tang King Tomb." ”
Mo Danfeng waved his hand again and again and said, "I'm sorry, I'm too anxious to drink water." As he spoke, he wiped his mouth and hung the water bladder back on his waist. Ling Shengxue looked at Mo Danfeng quietly on the side and didn't say a word.
Jiang Jianqiu thought for a while and continued to ask: "Then the tomb of King Tang is in the hinterland of Tangyin Mountain, how can we go if we don't know the way? And now we have to rush to Sanssouci Valley to save people, and we can't delay either." ”
Yue Mingxin paused for a moment and said, "That gray deer will take us directly to the tomb of King Tang, so that it is much closer to Sanssouci Valley." Right now, I'm afraid I'm going to take Tianlao and Ling'er on the road together. ”
"No!" Ling Shengxue's voice was cold and arrogant, and he said coldly: "I don't know what the situation is over there in the Tang King Tomb, but the three of us in Sanssouci Valley are already difficult to protect ourselves, if we bring the old and young ones again, how can we ensure that we can get out of the way!"
Yue Ling'er shouted on the side: "I hate it, I can also help, I also beat away a zombie just now!" Mo Danfeng hurriedly said on the side: "Miss Ling, it's okay, I just take care of the old people and children, I won't hold you back." ”
Ling Shengxue looked at Mo Danfeng and said with a calm expression: "You are more troublesome than them, they just need to be taken care of." If you are controlled by that demon sword at any time, I'm afraid that the three of us together will not be your opponent!"
Yue Mingxin was shocked when she heard this, she didn't expect Ling Shengxue to have such a high evaluation of Mo Danfeng! She turned to look at Jiang Jianqiu, Jiang Jianqiu didn't take the opportunity to ridicule Mo Danfeng this time, but instead nodded, expressing her approval of her junior sister's words.
Ling Shengxue said: "Under the current situation, my opinion is to send them out of Tangyin Mountain first, or let them wait for us to return in this Dongtian territory." ”
At this moment, a low snort sounded on the side, but it was the gray deer who had returned to everyone at some point, and was pressing against Ling Shengxue's shoulder with his huge antlers. Although Ling Shengxue has always been calm and composed, she can't help but be a little unable to deal with this situation.
Tian Lao laughed on the side and said, "Girl, what you said is right. But this deer doesn't seem to agree, so let's go together!"
Ling Shengxue still wanted to insist, Jiang Jianqiu shook his head slightly on the side, and in the end, Ling Shengxue had to agree to go to the tomb of King Tang together. So without further ado, he immediately set off for the tomb of King Tang.
The tall gray deer led the way, and everyone once again fished into this boundless sea of fog. Seeing Yue Ling'er bouncing in front, Jiang Jianqiu couldn't help but sigh, thinking about the arduous task of this line of work, and taking care of these old people and children, he couldn't help but look up to the sky and sigh.
Suddenly, someone tapped him on the shoulder, and he turned his head to see that it was Tianlao. The old man lowered his voice and asked mysteriously, "I said, boy, this time that piece of wood asked you to do something, did it give you any benefits?"
Jiang Jianqiu was stunned for a moment, thought about it, and said, "Benefits? Help us heal all the previous injuries, and nothing else seems to be there." ”
Tianlao was stunned for a moment, then shook his head and said: "This wood is getting more and more picky, helping you to heal your injuries is just so that you can do things for it later, can this be considered a benefit?"
The more the old man spoke, the more excited he became, and he even began to beat his chest: "Where is this attitude of begging people to do things! Those spiritual grass fairy fruits in the forest are about to rot, and they don't say that they will bring us two baskets out, it is simply extremely stingy!"
Jiang Jianqiu smiled dumbly when he heard this, just now they walked in and out of the forest, and what they saw was not only a tree or a tree, but also a spirit grass and immortal fruit, and the old man was talking nonsense again.
The old man was still muttering to himself, when suddenly the old man felt his body sinking, and when he looked back, a branch of a tree on the side of the road stretched out horizontally and hung on his belt, and he stopped and looked back.
Jiang Jianqiu saw that the old man suddenly stopped, and asked strangely: "Old man, why don't you leave, you can't walk after just a few steps?"
Tian Lao waved his hand and said, "I dropped something, you go first, and I will catch up." ”
Jiang Jianqiu shrugged his shoulders when he heard this, and reflexively continued to walk forward. Tian Lao looked at the ground behind him, and behind him, there was a dark green spar in the middle of the road, and he didn't know when and who placed it there. The old man leaned over and picked up the spar, the spar was transparent throughout, and there was fluorescence flowing up and down inside, like a star.
Tian Lao's face was slightly surprised, and he muttered to himself, "It's really strange that this wood has something to say to me. Well, I'll hear what you have to say. He held up the hedron and pressed it to his forehead, closing his eyes, as if his whole mind was immersed in the small hedron.
I saw that Tian Lao's expression was sometimes surprised, sometimes nervous, sometimes confused, and after a while, he took a long breath and opened his eyes. Tian Lao looked at the spar in front of him expressionlessly, and suddenly he threw the spar in the direction where he came from with all his strength, and scolded: "You dead wood, you don't live honestly hiding in your own nest, just find me these troublesome errands! Such a dangerous thing, you have to do it yourself, I want to live a few more days of happy life!"
In the depths of the thick fog, a muffled roar suddenly came, and the earth trembled violently, as if some giant beast was about to move in the depths of the thick fog.
Tian Lao also seemed to be taken aback, his momentum was not as tough as before, and he lowered his voice and said, "You just see that I can't let go of this mess! ”
Tian Lao thought about it, and suddenly raised his voice and shouted: "This time I helped you clear this disaster, and the matter of picking your three Ascending Immortal Fruits before will be cleared up!
After a moment of silence, another low roar was heard from the mist, this time not as violent as the previous one, and it seemed that the giant beast in the mist also released a sense of relief. The old man pouted, turned around, and walked forward quickly.
Jiang Jianqiu was walking in front of him, and when he saw Tianlao rushing up, he asked, "Old man, what are you doing in the back, why did you make such a big move?" Tianlao waved his hand and said, "I was about to pick up something, and suddenly a vicious dog came out and wanted to bite me, and I beat me away with a stone." ”
Jiang Jianqiu was suffocated, and said in his heart that this vicious dog from the deep mountains and old forests, this old man's words are really boundless. He saw that the old man didn't seem to have any more meaning to explain, so he had to continue walking. The six people and one deer gradually drifted away in the thick fog.
