Chapter 68: Departure
When it was almost dawn, Zhu Mei and Nian Nian came out of the villa. There was no one else in Liyuan Villa, and Nian Nian and Zhu Mei said goodbye to their mother-in-law.
Before leaving, the mother-in-law instructed them again.
"You two should also remember to hide when you are together," she looked at Nian Nian, and then continued, "There are many things in the mortal world that are different from what you think, so you should be more careful when you encounter things." ”
"Yes, mother-in-law. ”
"Also, what you have cultivated in Chuanshan all these years must be the immortal method of Chuanshan, so don't use the immortal method unless you have to do it in the mortal world, and be careful to let someone with a heart know your identity. ”
"Yes, mother-in-law. ”
"Oh yes, and the dress-up. The two of you don't know what you have eaten in Chuanshan in the past few years, especially every year, you are born like a flower, you must remember to wear a veil, don't go to a crowded place to join in the fun, Miss, you look at her more. ”
"Oh, mother-in-law, I know everything, but I've grown up in the past few years, and I've successfully deceived a lot of immortals, so you don't have to worry about us. When I help my sister find that demon fox and purify my sister's resentment, we will come back and live with you in this villa!"
"Okay, since Nian Nian said so, my mother-in-law and I will wait here for you to come back. The mother-in-law was on crutches and watched them walk farther and farther along the avenue in front of the door, and the white bones put their hands on the crutches and tapped gently.
Liyuan Mountain Villa is located in a valley on the eastern side of the entire continent. It actually belongs to the Night Empire, but due to the changeable climate and complex environment, it is rarely visited. The valley is full of precious vegetation, and there are unknown beasts, Nian Nian and Zhu Mei heard her mother-in-law say before leaving, but they have not yet stepped out of the range of the curse of Liyuan Mountain Villa, and the scenes presented everywhere are very strange.
On one side is the scorched earth, with dark red patches covering the entire ridge, and on the other side is indeed a rock wall with green ** drops, and the soil is not visible at all due to dense branches and leaves.
These are all traces left by the heavenly fire, some of which have preserved the last of their life, and some of which have been completely burned. Nian Nian looked at the bead charm hand and gently stroked the dark red scorched earth, and sighed.
After walking for a day and a night, they finally walked out of the ghost domain of Liyuan Mountain Villa.
Facing the mountains and mountains in front of him, he took a deep breath, "The air here is really good, I guess there must be something good in the forest in front of me, maybe it is a treasure medicinal herb that has grown for many years, or a strange flower and grass, a rare beast, sister, we have been walking for a day, let's rest for a while and then hurry?"
Zhu Mei nodded, "It's okay, let's just figure out which direction to go." This forest is so big, if we go in without preparation, we may get lost. ”
The two of them found a clean place to sit down, spread out the package, took out the food prepared in the villa, and rested briefly, and found a tree with lush foliage, sat under it, supported his head with one hand, and soon fell asleep.
Zhu Mei looked at Nian Nian's side face, and saw that she pursed her lips in her sleep, as if she was reminiscing about the deliciousness of the food just now, and smiled, but heard Nian Nian suddenly say:
"Brother Wuwu, I'm back. ”
Zhu Mei's heart hurt quietly, although she didn't say it every year, she still missed her very much, and she took her to the mortal world like this, and they must be very anxious, but when she thought about what she said, she also felt that if she couldn't solve the problem of resentful spirits, whether it was herself or Nian Nian, I was afraid that she would not be able to return to Chuanshan again. So, she just sat and meditated, waiting for the year to wake up.
Fortunately, he woke up after a while, and the two discussed the route. Nian Nian said: "We should go to a crowded place, we are going to Cangye, you know, Brother Ye used to be a person from the Cangye Empire, let's go to Cangye for a stroll, and we can show off with him when we go back in the future, don't you say?" Nian Nian regretted a little after saying this, and didn't know if she could go back to Chuanshan again, she didn't turn her head and stuck out her tongue, Zhu Mei saw her embarrassed, so she pretended not to see it.
"You, my mother-in-law just told us not to always go to crowded places, you just love to join in the fun. ”
"Mother-in-law is worried that we won't be able to deal with the problems we encounter, but I have never been afraid of so many immortals, sister, you are also a person who has seen demons and monsters, what else is there to be afraid of the two of us. If we want to find out the news, we have to go to a place with a lot of people, and the more people there are, the more news. ”
Zhu Mei was amused by her, "Okay, what you said is, let's go to the night." ”
The two of them identified the direction, and just got up, but Nian Nian looked behind Zhu Mei in surprise, "What's there?"
Zhu Mei quickly turned around and pulled Nian Nian to protect her behind her, and they saw that a long cyan snake poked its head out of the layers of emerald green.
Its brown eyes stared at the two of them, and the snake's head stood up, spitting out a dangerous snake letter, and it looked like it was in a pre-attack stance.
Zhu Mei just wanted to wave her hand and flick it out to knock it away, but Nian Nian quietly held her hand and shook her head.
Nian Nian walked out from behind Zhu Mei, she also stared at the snake, and suddenly, she took a sharp step forward.
Instead of pounced, the snake shrank back. As he continued to move forward, the snake shrank back again. This was repeated several times, and the snake seemed to be unable to parry it anymore and was defeated. It hung its head, almost touching the ground, then turned around and twisted the snake's body, disappearing into the foliage.
Zhu Mei looked at her in surprise, and smiled a little embarrassedly: "Since the time when everyone was besieging Chuanshan, I found that I could control certain things. For example, at that time, there was an immortal who wanted to plot against me, and he shot eight silver darts while I was not paying attention, and those silver darts should not be mortal, they were like long eyes, and they would never give up until they hit the opponent, I could not escape, but it was very strange, I found that I could control them with my mind, so in the end I ordered them to stop, and then these eight silver darts were unceremoniously accepted. “
"And this snake too, I just had to stare into its eyes and meditate in my heart to let it go, and finally it obediently left. "I spread my hands every year.
Zhu Mei thought for a while and said: "This may have something to do with the fact that you are a psychic thing, and those eight silver darts may be made of some rare materials, but your spirit is stronger and can suppress it, so those eight silver darts can be controlled by you and finally stop." The same is true of the snake today, its aura is not as good as yours, the animal has a natural instinct for danger, it senses that you can suppress it, so it does not want to risk a meal. “
Nian Nian clapped his hands proudly, "In this way, I'm really powerful! One look can scare the enemy away, sister, you can rest assured in the future, no matter what happens, I can protect you!"
Zhu Mei looked at her fondly, and the two continued to walk forward.
They walked in the mountains and forests for another two days, and encountered several wild beasts along the way, but each time they were silently scared away by Nian Nian's eyes, so the journey was relatively safe and there were no waves.
On the third day, Nian Nian and Zhu Mei were walking through a dense bush when they suddenly heard a shout from someone in front of them, and then many people shouted, mixed with the sound of metal grinding and scraping, followed by something flashing through the forest in front of them.
It was probably a group of people chasing an animal, Nian Nian and Zhu Mei glanced at each other, and the two took out the veil they had prepared before from the package and hung it on their faces.
Turning a corner, five or six big men appeared, carrying various weapons in their hands, and when they saw two masked women with slender figures in front of them, the expressions on their faces were shocked.
Zhu Mei stepped forward at this time and said softly: "Hello big brothers, my sister and I are lost in this mountain, may I ask if the front leads to the night?"
One of the big men said: "I thought our village was the most remote place in the whole night, but I didn't expect anyone to come from the mountains, big sister, you go quickly, there are many wild beasts in this mountain, it is not safe, you can see our village after a while along this road, we want to chase the beast, I won't tell you in detail, and when we catch it and come back, we will go to the village to find you." As he spoke, he waved his hand, and a group of people hurried over.
The two looked at each other and smiled, finding the right way!
