Chapter 61: The Eve
The eve of chapter sixty-one
Inside the sacrificial shrine, there was silence.
At this time, hundreds of tribesmen will gather together, and the Sang Ya patriarch and the twelve gods will stand under the altar. And Ming You, as the sage of the tomb guarding clan, is naturally located on the altar.
Looking at the eager gaze below, Mingyou's nose suddenly ached. It's like the expectation of a loved one surging in my heart, which makes people feel heavy.
What should we do in the future? This is the question before us. As the spiritual pillar of the Tomb Guarding Clan, Ming You deeply felt the weight on his shoulders, but he couldn't back down.
"Ladies and gentlemen, please rest assured. Although I don't have the bloodline of the Shouling clan, my soul has been branded with the inheritance of the ancestors, so I will take on the prosperity and responsibility of the Shouling clan. From today onwards, you are my friends and my relatives, and I will definitely lead you out of the predicament, keep the disease and pain away from you, and let you live a happy and peaceful life......"
Mingyou's promise is simple but warm, it is a cry from the heart. At this moment, there is nothing more happy than a peaceful life.
The old patriarch and the gods will be extremely pleased, and many clansmen are already with tears in their eyes.
"Sage Apocalypse, bless my clan. β
"Sage Apocalypse, bless my people...... Sage Apocalypse, bless my people......"
One person took the lead in praying, and the rest of the tribesmen knelt down one after another. In their hearts, Ming You is not an ignorant child, nor is he an inconsequential outsider, but a sage who has inherited the wisdom of his ancestors, and a great sage sent by his ancestors to help the Shouling clan.
......
"Patriarch, let the big guys get up!"
At the behest of Ming You, the Sangya patriarch called everyone up and separated them from each other, the young hunters on one side and the old and weak women and children in the clan on the other.
Looking at the crowd below, Ming You said in a loud voice: "Ladies and gentlemen, there are still two days to go, and disaster will befall here, so at this critical moment, I hope everyone can unite and face this dilemma together...... In the next two days, I will teach the deduced "Twelve Cadres and Branches Great Array" to the twelve gods to practice, and everything in the clan is still in charge of the patriarch. And ......"
"In order to avoid casualties among the clansmen, from now on, all hunting operations will be stopped immediately, and no one can act without the consent of the patriarch, and the specific matters will be arranged by the patriarch......"
After a pause, Ming You continued: "In addition, since the valley is not very stable after the earthquake, the defense of the clan land is very weak now, and on the day of the disaster, maybe this place will collapse again, so I have decided to move all the rest of the clan to the flat land before it gets dark tomorrow, except for the necessary sentry posts. β
"Move to flat ground!?"
Everyone was startled, and the noise gradually expanded.
A cold and handsome young man standing on the other side of the young team said: "Tell the Sage, the island is in chaos now, there are fierce birds and beasts everywhere, and there are no protective measures on the flat ground, so it will be difficult for everyone to survive after they are transferred. β
As soon as the man finished speaking, all the young hunters echoed in unison. They are people who have been hunting all year round, and no one knows the dangers of the island better than they do.
The twelve gods were about to speak, when the Mulberry Tooth Patriarch on the side secretly gave them a look, signaling them not to interfere. If even this little thing can't be handled, how can the Holy One bring hope to everyone.
Ming You waved his hand slightly, and the hall gradually returned to calm: "May I ask what this big brother is called." β
Hearing the Sage's question, the young man just now said respectfully, "Allah, hunting captain. β
"Don't worry, Brother Allah, since I let everyone out, I will naturally be prepared. Ming You said indifferently: "Brother Yue Fan once set up a defensive formation in the western fog forest, although the scope of expansion is not very large, but as long as it is slightly adjusted, I believe it should not be difficult for everyone to rest temporarily." β
"That formation?!"
Allah was stunned at first, and then his face was full of surprise. The power of that formation was something he and his brothers had personally tried, and such a magical formation, not to mention trapping dozens of beasts, even hundreds of beasts should be fine. Moreover, if a wild beast really breaks into the formation, they can just hunt and solve the problem of food sources, even if it is a long-term war of resistance.
The more I thought about it, the more excited I became, and there was a touch of red on Ala's swarthy face.
Without worries, more can be done, the Mulberry Patriarch and the Twelve Gods nodded secretly.
Ming You looked down for a while, and no one raised any objections, so he waved his hand and said, "Let's go back and prepare, let's leave tomorrow, as for the detailed plan, I will discuss it with the patriarch." β
Everyone retreated, leaving only four teenagers standing quietly. They are none other than Allah and Atu of the hunting team, and Ahsan and Tiansheng of the escort team.
Without the protection of the twelve gods, they have to bear the safety of all the clansmen, which can be said to be a long way to go!
......
ββββββββββββ
On the west coast, a man with a ghost spectrum on his head stood on the reef, and opposite him, Shi Baguio looked at each other with the five elders and the others, with a faint anger in his eyes.
Coming out of the underground palace, the five elders and the others quickly found the breath of the ghost-faced man, and in the past two days, they have fought each other no less than several times, but unfortunately the six of them can't help each other.
"Eldest sister, what should we do now?"
The old woman in the red robe was still anxious, her face was full of resentment, and she was even a little angry. Thinking about it, this time it took so much effort, but in the end she didn't get anything, how can she be willing?
"It's time to let it go, otherwise what else can we do? There is less than a month before the Hidden Forest Conference, and we don't have much time now. Granny Bai looked at the ghost-faced man, but the other party obviously didn't care about herself and the others, but looked at the "Ten Thousand Slashes" in her hand and was stunned, not knowing what she was thinking.
There was a moment of silence.
Shi Biyao looked into the distance, a trace of struggle flashed in her eyes, and then compromised. At this moment, he seemed to have succumbed to fate.
"Xiao Yao, what's wrong with you?" Sensing the girl's strange appearance, the old woman in the green robe couldn't help but care.
Shi Biyao shook her head and disguised: "It's nothing, it's just a bad premonition in my heart." β
The old woman in the green robe was about to continue, when the ghost-faced man suddenly spoke.
"Hey, don't you want this '10,000 beheading'? Okay, well, since you want it, I'll give it to you. The ghost-faced man casually threw the "Ten Thousand Kills" to the other party, like throwing scrap metal.
"Smack!"
Granny Bai took the murder weapon in a daze, a little incredulous.
Shi Biyao and the others also had the same expression, happiness came so suddenly, it felt like a dream.
What kind of conspiracy is this?
......
ββββββββββββ
Chapter 62: Sleeping with Love
Looking at the "10,000 people beheaded" in their hands, Granny Bai and the others didn't come back to their senses for a long time.
What does the other side mean exactly? Is it conspiracy or sincerity? Or is there something else?
Thinking in their hearts, everyone couldn't help but raise their vigilance.
Granny Bai frowned, and said in a condensed voice: "What do you mean by this, Your Excellency?"
"It's not interesting. The ghost-faced man said lightly: "This thing is useless to the deity, so give it to you, it's as simple as that." β
When things go wrong, there must be demons! Granny Bai obviously doesn't believe that there will be such a cheap thing in the world.
Looking at the old woman's suspicious eyes, the ghost-faced man sneered: "Hmph! β
Hearing the ghost-faced man's sneering, Granny Bai calmed down. Since the other party dares to give, don't you dare to wait for others?
"Since Your Excellency is so respectful, the old woman will not accept it politely. β
Holding the murder weapon in her hand, Granny Bai has a steady heart, and her eyes can't help but show a look of ecstasy! After several twists and turns, the "Ten Thousand Beheadings" finally fell into her hands, how can she not be excited? Now that she has gone back to see the sect master, she finally has an explanation.
Ignoring the mood of the people on the other side, the ghost-faced man stood with his hands in his hands, his eyes on the sea area in front of him, and he secretly hated in his heart: "Li Yuefan...... It's Li Yuefan again, the plan to destroy the deity twice three times is really hateful!
What happened on the island this time was originally planned by him, and even the appearance of Li Yuefan and others was also calculated...... It's a pity that people are not as good as heaven, and the final result is still beyond their expectations, and this unexpected factor is still Li Yuefan.
"It's okay! Even without the help of the holy relics, it won't hinder the deity's plans. β
Calming down, the ghost-faced man turned to Granny Bai and the others again, "What are your plans now?"
Granny Bai was in a good mood at the moment, and her hostility towards the ghost-faced people had faded a lot, so she said bluntly: "The Hidden Forest Conference is about to start, and we naturally have to return to the Central Plains." Merely...... Our ship is gone. β
The words paused, and Granny Bai looked at each other meaningfully, and the meaning of her words was self-evident.
Under the mask, the ghost-faced man sneered and said, "Yes, your ship was robbed by the deity, as for why, the deity doesn't have to explain to you. β
"You ......"
The red-robed old woman was about to get angry, but Granny Bai interrupted first: "Since Your Excellency admits it, then we have nothing to say. However, if we want to return to Middle-earth, will you give me a ride?"
Now the situation is stronger than people, even if Granny Bai is unhappy, she still has to think about the overall situation.
"Hahaha-"
The ghost-faced man laughed and said, "Okay! If you're not afraid of getting on the thief ship, then go back with the deity." With that, the man leaped up and walked towards the sky.
Ahead is an endless sea, and the ghost-faced man wants to fly back to Middle-earth with such a move?
However, at this moment, there was a sudden huge movement in the sea ahead!
"Wow-"
The waves were still surging, and the undercurrent was surging, and I saw a strangely shaped ship slowly rising from under the water.
Granny Bai and the others exchanged glances with each other, and then followed.
......
ββββββββββββ
In the evening, the sky was dark, and the clan land was still busy......
Packing up, tidying up, all the people are preparing for tomorrow's migration.
"Grandpa, grandpa, why did you lose my little bow?"
In front of the house, the little girl complained for a while, causing the old man to shake his head helplessly: "There are still so many things to tidy up, and those things can't be used now, why keep them?"
The little girl hugged the little bow tightly, and her face was full of reluctance: "This is given to me by Brother Ahsan, and when I grow up, I will protect my clan like my brother and them." β
"Good, good boy......"
The old man hugged the little girl, relieved and gloomy.
......
A similar scene can be seen everywhere in the clan land.
The condolences of the elderly, the expectations of women, and the future of children...... The torch is passed on and moved, and there is also hope!
Yue Fan and Chenxiang walked in the clan land, silently feeling everything that was happening around them.
I don't know if it's an illusion, time and space seem to overlap, and scenes from their youth flash in their minds. They also used to have a simple and ordinary life, although it was not wonderful, but they enjoyed that faint happiness...... It's a pity that now everything is a thing of the past, and a peaceful life is instead a luxury imagination.
Inadvertently, Yue Fan habitually held Chenxiang's hand, as natural as when he was a child.
"Girl, what do you want to eat today? Big brother hunted for you. β
Yue Fan's smile was very warm, even if Chenxiang wanted to escape, he was reluctant to break free, and in the end he could only let the other party lead him.
"Today, I am Ya'er......"
As if he had figured it out, Chenxiang smiled slightly, his face was a little less indifferent, and his heart was unconsciously transformed.
......
At night, piles of bonfires were lit in the clan land, and the clansmen gathered together.
There wasn't much laughter, not too many words, just a sigh of helplessness, because tomorrow they would leave here and maybe never come back. Of course, maybe after tomorrow, they will have a better life.
"Green Mountains are high~~~Water blue~~~~Between the world ~~~"
"Wildflowers bloom~~~Grass fragrant~~~"
"We sing ~~~ Sing ~~~"
One person led the singing, and the rest of the clan followed. Immediately, some people danced around the campfire.
High-pitched singing breaks the shackles of the night, and simple dancing dilutes the heaviness of the disaster.
After a while, the clan land was already full of jubilation, singing and dancing......
This is the Shouling people, this is the mountain people, they do not shrink from difficulties, they do not become depressed by disasters, they are simple, simple, contented, so they can be happy!
......
ββββββββββββ
Phantom Bolin.
Back in the hut, Yue Fan and Chenxiang were silent, and they had a thousand words for a while, but they didn't know what to say.
"Ya'er, what are your plans for the future?"
Although she is not the other, Yue Fan still calls Chenxiang Ya'er.
For such a title, Chenxiang did not refute, and replied: "I want to go back to participate in the Hidden Forest Conference, there are still many things waiting for me, and that is my responsibility." β
"Responsibility...... Yue Fan muttered, but said no more.
Chenxiang gently turned her head away, as if to hide the contradiction in her heart.
The atmosphere was awkward and silent, with only the sound of two heartbeats connected to each other.
......
"Big brother, can you help me comb my hair again?"
Chenxiang suddenly spoke, and Yue Fan's heart rippled.
I remember when I was a child, what Ya'er enjoyed most was that Yue Fan combed her hair. Although Yue Fan's techniques were not dexterous at that time, Ya'er still enjoyed such treatment.
Stroking the girl's soft hair, Yue Fan's fingertips trembled slightly. At this time, his mind was blank!
In the dark room, although there is no shadow, you can smell a burst of elegant fragrance.
Wisps of green silk, long and elegant.
The slightest affection, coiled and tangled.
"Ya'er!"
Yue Fan suddenly hugged Chenxiang, it was a catharsis of pain.
At this moment, patience broke the embankment in his heart, desperate for everything, without looking back, without reason, it can be said that he was out of control! Yue Fan forgot who he was, forgot the identity of the other party, he only knew that he should cherish the person in front of him.
Because he has lost, Yue Fan knows how to cherish it more than most people, which is different from simply liking and cherishing. And this truth, Chenxiang also understands. Therefore, the moment Yue Fan hugged her, her heart had already begun to melt.
"Big brother...... Today, I'm Yaer. β
Chenxiang's voice gradually exploded, and the fire of desire of the two finally broke out at this moment. The shyness of the girl and the nervousness of the man faded with the clothes.
After tonight, Chenxiang has no regrets.
After tonight, Yue Fan was full of longing for the future.
After tonight, their hearts were connected.
......
Jun Mo asked, who does heaven and earth sleep with the same life.
Looking at the sky, life and death are all late.
......
ββββββββββββ
Chapter 63: Migration
In the early morning of the next day, the phantom wave was filled with white mist and fragrant, like a fairyland.
In front of the house, Xiaohuo bent lazily, his round ears twitched from time to time, as if he was alert to his surroundings!
"Squeak!"
The door slowly opened, and Yue Fan stepped out, his sad eyes a little more bright...... It seems that the world in my eyes is no longer as cold and gloomy as before.
"Whew!"
Xiao Huo stepped forward and arched over Yue Fan, who couldn't help but show a rare smile.
Until now, Yue Fan is still in a trance, as if he is intoxicated by a wonderful dream. He had never let go of his emotions like last night, and he could have sworn that last night would be the most memorable memory of his life!
Love and tolerance allowed Yue Fan to move from darkness to light, and re-saw the hope of the future.
......
The door opened again, and the scent of dust followed. At this time, she was dressed in white and was not stained with dust, her expression was still very indifferent, but her red cheeks made people have to reverie.
The two made eye contact, and their mood could not be calmed, like a pool of water, with bursts of ripples.
Xiaohuo followed behind Yue Fan, his eyes open curiously. With the beast's instincts, it was sure what was going on between the two. Of course, no matter how clever Xiaohuo is, it is still a beast after all, how can it feel the rich and delicate emotions between people?
The two were silent, although they didn't speak to each other, but there was an inexplicable connection between their hearts.
"Ya'er, I'll go get something to eat, you wait for me. β
Yue Fan suddenly spoke, and said, people have gone far away. When Chenxiang came back to his senses, there was only a faint figure in front of him.
Looking ahead in a daze, a trace of warmth passed through the girl's heart, which was not the warmth that fire could give.
"Auntie, you said that you have to forget your feelings to practice the Drowning Heart Sutra in order to reach Mahayana, so you have forbidden my feelings and my heart, and I have tried my best to restrain myself. If it weren't for the change in this cultivation, I might have gone on like this forever and become a ruthless person!"
With the change of mood, Chenxiang's understanding of life is more profound!
She muttered, and for a moment her heart was full of emotion: "How can you forget your feelings if you are ruthless? If you don't even know what your feelings are, what qualifications do you have to forget? Auntie, I know my responsibility, I have always known it, but I ...... I can't control it. β
Only with affection can we forget our feelings, and forgetting our feelings does not mean being ruthless. As the ancients said, you can only let go when you pick it up, and letting go does not mean giving up.
opened the inner entanglement, and at this moment, Chenxiang had an epiphany!
......
ββββββββββββ
At noon, the sun was shining.
To the west of the island, a procession of hundreds of people was moving deep into the woods......
There were old and young, men and women in this team, almost everyone had bags on their backs, and they walked cautiously, they were the tomb guards.
The terrain of the western jungle is so complex that there is no way to find it, and even experienced hunters can sometimes get lost in it. Moreover, this place is full of staggered branches and wild beasts, and there are dangers everywhere, and if you are careless, you will become the food of the wild beasts. Therefore, for the hunters of the forest guards, no one wants to be here, and even if they are hunting, they will only move on the periphery and generally do not go deep into the forest.
Along the way, the huge forest was terrifyingly quiet! There was no sound except for the slight chaotic footsteps.
The ground is full of rotting branches and leaves, and the strong smell of mud fills the entire space, stimulating people's sense of smell and making people feel extremely uncomfortable.
Yue Fan and Chenxiang walked at the front of the team, cautiously guiding the way forward. The Sang Ya patriarch led the young warriors on both sides of the team to protect the safety of the clan. Without the protection of the twelve divine generals, the responsibility on their shoulders was much heavier, and their faces were serious, awakening the spirit of the twelve!
In comparison, Xiaohuo is much more relaxed. It swaggered at the back of the line, and didn't have to do anything, just follow the crowd.
......
"Tsukiβ"
There was a slight movement around him, and the cold hairs on everyone's backs suddenly stood up, as if they had the illusion of being targeted by death...... Perhaps, this is not a delusion.
As the movement gradually changed, a solemn expression appeared on everyone's faces.
"Be careful, everyone, it should be a herd of beasts!"
It was not Yue Fan or Chenxiang who reminded him, nor was he the Sangya patriarch, but the young warrior of the Tomb Guarding Clan, Ala! As the best hunter in the team, Alaa undoubtedly possessed a sensitivity and perception far beyond ordinary people.
"Everyone is in situ to organize cover ......"
"The first team is preparing for attack, the second team of Atu is alternate, the third team of Fengbo is preparing for traps, and the fourth team of Asang is responsible for covering...... Born with a tentative attack by archers, ready to sound the beast whistle......"
A series of orders came from the mouth of Allah, and no one raised any objections, only obeyed.
As an excellent hunting team, it not only requires the leader's calm thinking and correct judgment, but also needs to be meticulous in the execution of his friends...... There is no doubt that the hunters of the Tomb Keeper are qualified hunters, and they not only did it, but they did it well!
Yue Fan saw it in his eyes and couldn't help but nod secretly. With his current skills, he naturally knows very well what kind of situation is around him. The reason why he didn't open his mouth to remind him was because he wanted the other party to deal with it himself. And Chenxiang and the Mulberry Tooth Patriarch didn't speak, naturally they had the same idea.
Obviously, Allah and the others did not disappoint the three of them. Yue Fan believes that even if he does it himself, he will not do better than the other party.
......
"Whistle!
Allah gave an order, and the scattered arrows were thrown into the depths of the white mist, making various sounds.
The beast flute sounded, and strange fluctuations spread out to the surroundings.
......
"Roarβ"
Under attack, a large group of beasts with staggered heads rushed out from all directions, and their arrogance was extremely arrogant!
Shaped like a rat and like a wolf, with sharp claws and thick fur, the water chestnut is the most powerful pack on the island. In general, no one wants to provoke these guys.
"Oh no! it's a water chestnut!"
Allah's brows furrowed together, and he yelled, "Threesome, spear piercing...... The second team is ready to ...... Destroy these brutes!"
"Killβ"
"Kill-kill-kill-"
......
The prelude to the battle has begun, and neither the old man nor the child has the slightest panic. After all, compared to the unknown natural disaster, the threat of the beast is nothing.
"Whew-whew-whew-"
There was an exuberant roar, and Xiaohuo's body suddenly swelled, like a tiger entering a flock of sheep.
Maybe it's been too long since you killed, but this time the little guy finally showed his fierce nature!
Crash, bite, roar! madness!
Dealing with the enemy, Xiao Huo is simply doing everything! There is hardly a complete corpse under its claws, and even Allah and the others are chilling when they look at it!
Looking at this scene, Yue Fan and Chenxiang didn't have any reaction, but the Sangya patriarch smiled bitterly, he had personally experienced the other party's power!
......
ββββββββββββ
