monster study

The sound of bells guides the direction, and the singing calls to the distance. The two of them and the cat continue walking, walking through the boundless wilderness in the fantasy background.

However, they walked for a long time, and the surrounding scenery didn't seem to change.The distant mountains are still far away, and the sky has not changed in the slightest, which makes Lu Zhifei feel that they have been walking in place.

But Lu Zhifei noticed the streams hidden under the grass. They are intricately intertwined like the veins of the earth. The thinnest is no more than the size of a fist, and the thickest is no more than one meter.

The strange thing is that there are weeds growing beside the stream, but there are none in the water.The water is crystal clear, and there are often small fish like tadpoles swimming in it. Their round heads and slender tails are very cute.

Taibai Taihei is happy to see Liexin, and wants to catch a few to play with.Lu Zhifei then turned his gaze to Shang Si, who had stopped humming at this time, turned around and put his index finger on his lips, "Hush."

Lu Zhifei didn't know what he was going to do, and subconsciously covered Taibai Taihei's mouth.Shang Si grabbed the bell and shook it three times in a row. This time the sound of the bell sounded extra long and spread farther.

Shang Si raised his head slightly, closed his eyes and listened.

Listening to the answer in the wind, he reached out and grabbed a letter from afar.It was a leaf, green with withered yellow, the edge had been curled up, and there were holes on the leaf that came from nowhere.

"The leaves of Jianmu." Shang Si explained.The wind brought a reply, but Jianmu was still far away, "I'm afraid we won't be able to arrive today, let's find a place to rest first."

Lu Zhifei knew that he was taking care of himself. After all, such a small way was nothing to Shang Si, but the best thing about Lu Zhifei was that he was never hypocritical.

But in this wilderness full of weeds and wild animals, where do you rest?

Shang Si had already prepared for it. The sleeves of each of his clothes were like a treasure bag, which contained all kinds of strange things.This time he took out a set of tents and a full set of picnic utensils, which can be said to be fully prepared.

When setting up the tent, he let Lu Zhifei sit on his favorite Nanguan hat chair, and then sent Taibai Taihei to pick up hay and come back to start a fire.

Taibai Taihei was unequivocal in showing courtesy to Lu Zhifei, so he went there excitedly.

Lu Zhifei looked at their backs worriedly, and said to Shang Si: "Aren't you letting them throw themselves into the tiger's mouth?"

Shang Si said, "Don't worry, the few ounces of meat on their bodies are not enough for them to fit between their teeth."

But Lu Zhifei was still worried about the two little fat guys, so he followed them to see.Fortunately, they had short legs and couldn't walk very far. They squatted by the stream to watch the tadpoles within a few meters.

"so cute."

"Yes."

"Let's catch a few and go back!"

"Master scolding!"

"Give it to Lu Lu!"

"Ok!"

Lu Zhifei: "..."

The opinions of the two quickly reached an agreement, and they were about to reach out to fish.But the hands are a bit short, what should I do if I can't catch it, it doesn't matter, they have seen monkeys fishing for the moon!

One pulls the other, the arms are so-so long!

But just when Taibai's hands were about to touch the water, Lu Zhifei pulled them back in time.The two little fat men turned their heads to look at him in puzzlement. At this moment, the battle in the distance suddenly changed.

A gigantic beast with a unicorn on its forehead let out a long howl to the sky facing Jiu Ge in mid-air, and amidst the howling sound, there was a commotion in the stream on the ground.

It's the tadpoles, they're responding to the whistling.

Then a miraculous scene took place, countless tadpoles jumped out of the stream, and they rushed towards the direction of Phoenix.And the moment they left the water, their tiny water-drop-like bodies exploded and turned into a black mist, out of which came out ferocious giant water creatures with fangs or barbs on their backs. demon.

They roared and made a leap like a carp jumping over a dragon's gate, going on and on without stopping.

Taibai Taihei has already stayed away, where is the cute little tadpole? !

At this moment, Lu Zhifei is thankful that they were stopped in time just now, otherwise it would be too white and too dark for them to fit between their teeth.Shang Si was quite happy, and took off a blade of grass as an arrow, "Go."

The blade of grass pierced through one of the fattest flying fish, and the flying fish fell heavily on the ground, becoming Shang Si's long-awaited food.

At this time, facing this wave of attacks, Jiuge finally showed his real body again.The huge phoenix covered the sky and covered the sun, like a shield, resisting all stray bullet attacks with its own power.

The water and the fire collided head-on, and a thick fog floated in the sky, making it hazy.

When Lu Zhifei ran back to Shang Si with Taibai Taihei in his arms, Liu Sheng had already set off to pick up the fish.This is what Shang Si said, if you want to eat dinner, you have to work hard.

"Do you want to eat grilled fish tonight?" Shang Si pulled Lu Zhifei over and carefully wiped off the moisture sticking to his hair.

Lu Zhifei nodded, but involuntarily glanced at Jiu Ge, "It really doesn't matter over there?"

It seems not very good that Jiuge made it like this, but they were grilling fish in comfort.

Although this must be something Shang Si can do.

Shang Si pushed him to the chair and sat down, stretched out a barrier to isolate the water vapor outside and the slowly cooling temperature, and said: "Don't worry, he has been away for so many years and hasn't come back, there will always be people who will start to disobey discipline .But after fighting for a long time, it should be almost over, and he might still be able to catch up with our dinner."

After hearing what he said, Lu Zhifei didn't worry about it anymore.Soon, the bonfire was lit, and the fish was neatly cut into pieces by Shang Si. Lu Zhifei washed his hands in the water brought by Shang Si and asked, "Have you brought an apron?"

Shang Si reached out his hand to dig in his sleeve, and took out a cute pink apron after digging for a long time.

Lu Zhifei was silent for a while, then took it and tied it.He swore that if it wasn't for the fact that the apron had no cute patterns on it, it was just pure pink, he wouldn't have given in.

When dinner was about to start, Jiu Ge really came back.

At this time, the dead and injured of the monsters in the four fields finally calmed down.Some retreated silently into the grass, some hid in the corner and licked their wounds, and some lay down near the campfire watching, but they dared not approach because of Shang Si's powerful aura.

The night became darker, and the koi kite became a solitary lamp in the night, emitting light and heat alone.

Jiu Ge was so tired that he sat down on the ground, Lu Zhifei promptly handed over a plate of freshly grilled fish, and he began to eat it unceremoniously.

In fact, he wanted to complain at first, fourth master was too much.It's fine if you don't help, but you are still singing, showing affection, setting up tents, grilling fish, making it look like you are having a picnic, do you think you can't see him when he is fighting? ? ?

But Lu Zhifei is very good, the so-called cannibalism has a soft mouth but short hands, Jiuge decided not to care about this plate of grilled fish.

As for the cat, Jiu Ge never spoke to him from the beginning to the end.Although he has traveled around the world, he is not as familiar as Wu Qiangqiang, and this cat looks very worried, so he is definitely not easy to get along with.

Hey, by the way, why did Fourth Master call him back to open the gap in Duguangye?

Jiu Ge stopped chewing, was stunned for a few seconds, and then put the question to the back of his mind very nonchalantly.Yaosheng, why do you think so much?

Liu Sheng, on the other hand, looked at the streams all over the ground in a daze. He had been observing since just now, and he couldn't help thinking—how did these streams form?

The shapes of these streams look familiar.

They don't look like they formed naturally, they are too thin and there are too many.

It's more like, like... those snow-covered sword marks on the rock wall behind Kunlun Mountain.

Yes, only a sword can cut such marks, like countless scars all over the earth, no matter how he struggles and how he forgets, as long as he lives on this land for a day, he will never be able to escape.

This is his sin, the sin that the karmic fire in the pagoda has been burning for hundreds of years.

Seeing similar sword marks here gave Liu Sheng a glimmer of hope, maybe he could really find Caiwei here?

Maybe his soul passed here, he left all the memories about the world, and went to another world to continue to exist.They no longer have any relationship and slowly forget each other.

When Liu Sheng was in the tower, he often thought about a problem.Was it right or wrong for him to worship under Caiwei's family?

Taoist Caiwei is a good person, and Liu Sheng used to respect him very much.Although Caiwei is a bit serious and old-fashioned, she always holds scriptures in her hands and explores the so-called Dao.This is not at all the same as Liu Sheng's way.

Liu Sheng thinks that God has no reason at all, and the so-called reward for good and evil is just an excuse used by humble people to comfort themselves.So he followed his own way, a very intuitive and simple way.

Repay kindness with kindness, and return evil with evil.

Caiwei was very kind to him, and tried her best to heal his leg disease, and was even willing to accept him as a disciple and teach him carefully.In the years when he couldn't walk because of a broken leg, he was never trapped in the room all the time. He sat on Caiwei's flying sword and was taken to many places by him.

Caiwei is different to Liu Sheng.

He hates all the ugliness in the world, and admires the beauty.He had thought that he would always serve Master by his side, and his expectation, longing, and respect for him were more than anyone he had met before.But in the end it was him who told himself that you were wrong.

Liu Sheng never minded other people's negation of him, but this other people did not include his highly respected master.

At this time, a strange noise came from the grass, interrupting Liu Sheng's meditation.

Jiuge woke up instantly, and his cold eyes swept over, "Didn't you hurt just now?"

The grass suddenly returned to calm, and after a while, a monster slowly emerged from it.It looks a bit like Chenghuang, with a row of sharp horns from forehead to back, but where there should be hair, there are scales, only the tail still maintains the shape of a fox tail, big and fluffy.

It also has scales on its face, but not many, like a mask, very strange.

Lu Zhifei recognized it, and it was the one who fought Jiuge the hardest just now.

It was injured, a few silver-gray scales fell off, a horn on its back was broken, and its tail was also stained with blood.

"It was you who left all the monsters here for no reason. Once you go, there will be no news. If you are the same as without you, and this place is as dull as hell, then why don't you just kill you and let you try to be trapped forever What it feels like to be here." It looked at Jiuge with anger in its eyes.

When Jiuge said that, he felt a little embarrassed, "I've beaten you before, what else do you want?"

"But it can't change the fact that you abandoned this land! You are betraying!" It said, the wounds on its body were quickly opened due to its excessive anger, and it accidentally fell to the ground. There is an empty sound.

This is so humiliating.

It turned around and was about to walk into the grass, leaving Jiuge with a determined back.

Jiu Ge sighed helplessly, "Come back."

The author has something to say: This part of Jiuge can be considered a short story, and it will be brought to a little~

Ps: Regarding the shadow monster, I searched carefully recently, and there are quite a lot of little monsters with similar images in anime and games, so I decided not to change it~ The dark group is very common, but the details are different~ I I think I may be oversensitive.
