The right path in the world is so elusive, and countless heroic souls are empty.
Because there were no room distinctions in the tent, the four of them, one fox, one snake, and one sable, slept on the same blanket. Only Qingshui didn't sleep well and was the first to wake up. He was kicked awake by Song Wan.
Everyone got up early the next morning. Qing Shui looked helplessly at Song Wan, who was lying on the ground with her arms stretched out, and secretly sighed, "Is this really a girl? Did I make a mistake at the beginning? How can a girl sleep like this?
Mutually…"
At this time, Song Wan turned over in an extremely inelegant manner, with her head facing down, her head tilted to one side, her hands and feet facing the sky, and she found a comfortable position to continue sleeping.
Ouyang Jingsong, who went out for some fresh air, couldn't help but smile when he saw Song Wan's cute posture when he came back, "Why don't you look like a girl?"
"You even peek at such a young child sleeping, where's your moral integrity?" Qing Mian said with an expressionless expression.
"Brother, you always like to tease me lately," Qing Shui said with a beautiful curve at the corner of his mouth.
"What happened to your four-legged snake yesterday?" Qing Shui changed the subject.
"It's okay, but there was something unusual yesterday."
Qing Shui glanced at him as if he didn't recognize him, and suddenly felt that it was really sad to have such a master.
Ouyang Jingsong found a place to sit next to Song Wan, and like magic, he took out a bottle of wine and opened the cork, and an intoxicating aroma filled the air.
"Well? Where did you get the tea flowers to bloom?" Qing Shui narrowed his eyes slightly.
"You actually recognize this wine? An old friend gave it to me before. I kept some privately. When I was trapped, I thought I would end up there. I almost drank it, but there isn't much left. Here, let's get together and give you a bottle." Ouyang
Jing Song threw out a wine jar coolly, but he couldn't hide the loneliness on his face.
"I've seen it in Master's wine cellar before." Qing Shui looked into the distance sadly and took the wine jar.
The sealing mud and sealing wax on it were intact. After shaking, a jug of wine was found inside.
Ouyang Jingsong, who was drinking, put his right hand on Songwan's wrist, wanting to see how far she had cultivated in her body.
Suddenly he felt as if he had been burned with a branding iron on his buttocks. He stood up suddenly and Qing Shui was shocked, "What?"
"This, this, this, where did you pick this girl up?" Ouyang Jingsong looked shocked.
"What's wrong?" Qing Shui frowned slightly. Although he had always felt that Wan'er was not simple, there was no trace at all. He was not from the village, and neither was she. He didn't know much about her. Some people he asked later didn't know.
Knowing Wan'er's origin, this child seemed to appear out of thin air.
At that time, he had been alone for hundreds of years. Although he was already an immortal, he had not been practicing for a long time. Compared with those old monsters who had been in seclusion for hundreds of thousands of years, he was simply a genius. He was already an immortal at the age of four hundred.
This also made him extremely lonely. In his long monastic life, except for a few friends, he had nothing else and spent almost all his time practicing.
He was in a low mood when he picked up Wan'er. His former friends were either missing or absent. So in three years, this little girl became almost everything to him and her spiritual support. He would not allow her to have anything happen or leave.
Then he would really be alone.
"It's nothing, she has a birthmark on her body." Ouyang Jingsong pretended to be nonchalant and looked at the small piece of skin on the back of Songwan's neck that was exposed due to her indecent sleeping posture. There was a colorful mark on it.
"What's wrong with this birthmark?" Qingshui really didn't know.
Although Qingshui has advanced cultivation, he is not an old monster who has lived for tens of thousands of years, so he does not know many things. In terms of cultivation, he can despise Ouyang Jingsong, but in terms of experience, Ouyang Jingsong can directly despise him. This is a
This ancient and ancient book is alive and will not be used in vain.
Qing Shui also discovered that there seemed to be something sealed in the birthmark, but he couldn't detect it, even with his cultivation, he had no choice but to give up.
"It's hard to say whether this girl is a treasure or a disaster, alas." Ouyang sighed softly at this time and told Qing Shui some of the things he knew.
Qing Shui frowned slightly, "She won't. I won't let her be like those people before."
“I hope so”
The two of them were sitting facing each other in silence. At this moment, Shao Xin broke in and looked at the two men uncomfortably: "You, you"
"What's wrong with us?" Ouyang is the one who talks more.
"Am I disturbing you?" Shao Xin asked carefully and tentatively.
"No," Qing Shui said. After answering, Qing Shui suddenly felt that something was wrong. The three of them looked at me and I looked at you. Then Qing Shui twitched the corners of his mouth uncomfortably, Ouyang Jingsong laughed heartily, and Shao Xindan pursed his lips tightly.
.
Song Wan woke up at this time and threw a pillow at Ouyang Jingsong, "Anyone who disturbs my sleep must pay the price."
Everyone quarreled for a while, and Song Wan rubbed her two dark circles and sat up, "Where's the snake?" These three little pets have always slept with Song Wan, so they got up almost every day to see if they were there, and they became Song Wan.
habits.
Everyone came out of the tent and saw that the cute snake had enlarged to about one meter in size. It was lying on the top of the tent and looking steadily in the northeast. This time Ouyang Jingsong also noticed something was wrong.
"There may be concerns there, or something very important. Grandpa Ouyang, do you know?"
It is rare that Ouyang Jingsong did not raise any objection to the name grandpa, "I don't know, we need to go there."
Qing Shui was silent, which was regarded as an answer.
Breakfast was butter tea and fragrant hand-picked rice. After breakfast, Song Wan collected enough mare's milk cake, mare's milk, kumiss, and butter from Shao Xin for several years, as well as two roasted golden balls.
Sheep, then reluctantly said goodbye to Shao Xin.
Everyone did not refuse Shao Xin's kindness, and took the carriage she prepared and headed straight to the northeast.
The further northeast it went, the more restless the phoenix-scaled snake seemed to be. Finally, it simply climbed onto the roof of the car, as if it was waiting for something, and its eyes showed human emotions such as sadness, fear, nervousness, and anxiety.
The population became sparser and thinner, and eventually, there were no rabbits passing by at all.
Ordinary people may not be able to see it, but Qing Shui clearly saw a surge of evil and yin energy rising into the sky.
Although the aura is somewhat similar to that of the cute snake, it is definitely not the phoenix-scaled snake. Looking at the phoenix-scaled snake again, there is only anger and sadness in its eyes.
Getting closer, even Songwan felt unspeakably depressed.
It wasn't until later that Apeng felt it. The watery hair on Lan Lan's body was standing on end, and the down was better, and she was still calm under Song Wan's comfort.
I inquired from Shao Xin in the morning and it seems that it is an unlucky place. People go there to worship every year, and people often disappear. A large number of livestock disappear there every year. People are afraid, so rumors gradually spread.
, that is where the mountain god lives, and people should give it due respect when standing at its feet, so sacrifices became popular in the area.
Every year on the third day of March, there will be a large-scale live sacrifice. That is to drive herds of cattle, sheep and horses to the Mountain God Mountain, and then leave them to fend for themselves. Even if the sacrifice is held every year, some people will still disappear. There is no way.
It's better than a large number of people disappearing.
After the sacrifice, people often hear the neighing of cows and horses out of fear from the mountains. It is so cruel that people can't help but feel fear in their hearts. They say that animals are the most spiritual. Could it be that the people in this mountain are not mountain gods at all but monsters? But no one
Rush to check it out.
Later, the dynasty invited some people who claimed to be immortals. It was said that they could subjugate demons and eliminate demons, and they also showed some skills in front of the people. They could be said to be omnipotent with flying shields and earth.
The people sent these people to Shanshen Mountain with noisy gongs and drums, but they never came back. The people who went up to Shanshen Mountain that day let out pitiful wails, which were even a hundred times louder than the sounds of cattle and sheep.
The sound resounded throughout the grassland, and the people were trembling with fear. No one dared to approach Shan Shen Mountain. From that day on, ghosts cried and howled on Shan Shen Mountain. It took more than a month to subside. Among them were the screams of the immortals who were sent up the mountain and the shrill sound of the wind.
There is also the roar of a beast that shakes the sky.
People knew that this was not a mountain god at all, but an out-and-out murdering god. From then on, no one dared to approach the mountain god, and no one went to worship.
