mountain god dance

Baigu ran wildly for a while and felt that there was no way, the moon was faint and the stars were faint, and the darkness was dense. There were still six or seven days of dangerous roads to go to the mountain temple, and he couldn't go to the snowy area naked, although he cursed himself to die quickly when he was angry Alright, calm down or live.

Live to meet people.

Baigu was blown cold all over, pinching his hands and thinking about it: Ordinary beasts are afraid of fire, but this one is not afraid at all and is very brave. Could it be that he said something about disrespecting Daiye during the day and let it seek revenge? ?Baigu sneezed.

He is Shan Mi's younger brother, no matter what he has a bit of fairy spirit, he can't be trapped outside by the beast, so he turned his heart to the shadow of the wildfire in the cold forest.

The wild birds were patrolling the forest, whistling, the wind whistling with snow and stars falling from the mountain, Baigu entered the camp with trembling teeth, and saw that the leopard not only did not leave, but also occupied the magpie's nest by the fire The beef is chewy.

Seeing him come back, he looked surprised as if asking: Why didn't you run away?

Baigu was wrapped in a blanket, and the man and the beast looked at each other in embarrassment.

"Hey, let's discuss."

He bent his body and chatted with the beast in a low voice: "Let me go and get a piece of clothing, and put it under your paws. Take it and leave, you..."

As soon as Baigu stretched out one foot, the leopard stood up abruptly, grinning open its bloody mouth, and its beard trembled.

"Hey," Baigu quickly retracted, squatting on the ground, "clothes, understand?"

The leopard licked its mouth, as if reminiscing.

"Is it delicious?" Baigu asked it. "The cow you ate was burnt for Shanmi by the people at the foot of the mountain. You have eaten the tribute."

The leopard only thought it was delicious, but didn't understand what a tribute was.

The God of Wuye had set a spell on Baigu's body long ago. When he heard the call for help, he followed his call and flew to the sky, bypassing several mountains and rivers. Talk to the beast.

"There are so many gods on this mountain, why can't you understand a single word? Didn't Lan Jian fly around and give you some advice?" Bai Gu finished teasing the snake and then went to tease the leopard: "Hey, he's a lazy god. When someone comes, you scratch him and pounce on him from behind..."

Lan Jian stepped forward and kicked him: "What kind of madness is facing the beast?"

"Ah!" Baigu fell down in fright: "When did you come here!"

"When you scolded me from behind your back."

"Didn't I scold you for coming early?" Baigu hugged the blanket tightly: "Hurry up and get rid of it, I want to get clothes."

"Don't you like talking to wild animals? Let me talk to you first."

"Cold...cold! Hurry up!"

"..."

Sure enough, the leopard was afraid of Yu Lanjian's aura, ran a few steps and pacing around with its tail between its legs, and was reluctant to part with the fresh food it had just hunted, so it uttered a weak cry at the person.Lan Jian raised his hand to the snow leopard, signaling that it didn't have to leave, and the beast came over to continue eating with peace of mind, and glanced at the shivering young man from time to time, as if including him on the dinner plate.

Lanjian packed up the clothes that Baigu had taken off, and threw them to him: "You have the same temper with Jindian? When did he like this kind of person?"

Baigu's face was frozen stiff, and his tongue was also cold: "Ha, who did you like before?"

"who knows."

Baigu snuggled up next to the bonfire to steam his hands and feet, watching the leopard tearing away the flesh of the dead cow, and dragging away the rest until the stomach was empty, so the little snake had to lick the blood on the ground to get full. belly.Lanjian sat on the side and played the three-hole xun, the low-pitched music mixed with the strong smell of blood, like a bleak funeral ceremony.

"Where do you go all day?"

Baigu asked him suddenly: "Where is the scenery so beautiful on the deserted mountain?"

"It's just cold for people." Lan Jian said: "It's not for things. For example, this snow leopard runs dozens of miles on the rocks every day looking for sheep and foxes. Although it is difficult, it is happier than pigs penned in the village. You underestimate the vitality of the mountain. gone."

Baigu was still cold, shivering in a heap, looking at him thoughtfully at this moment, the normally wet and hazy god was dried by a small fire at this moment, infinitely real.

"Aren't pigs happy?"

Lanjian put the soup on the campfire in a bowl and handed it to him: "Eat it, if you like to be a pig, do it, maybe my brother likes pigs more."

"Why do you hate him? His personalities don't match at birth, and he has been a brother for a long time."

"..."

Baigu took a sip of hot water and looked at him, his stomach gradually relieved, and he began to think of some things stored in his heart, but the other party's face was full of indifference that he didn't want to answer, so Baigu turned to ask something else:

"Lanjian, you've been on the ground for so long... Well, do you know how to keep Yan Guang in place?"

Lan Jian heard too many silly words like this, so he sent him to sleep quickly: "Don't think too much, be a good pig, you can have all the dreams you want."

"Hey!" Baigu held him back: "If there is any way to cultivate immortals, please tell me, I, I don't want to... separate from him early."

"Don't touch me." Lan Jian withdrew her hand: "I will get up early tomorrow to accompany you on my way, and I won't be going out for now."

Relationships don't appear to be improving.

The summer at the bottom of the mountain is over, and the north wind is more intense on the mountain. In the future, snowflakes will be scattered everywhere. On the top, there are pines and cypresses reaching into the sky fifteen to twenty feet high.When Niu wasn't there, Lanjian helped him carry the burden. The road was silent and boring, and Baigu couldn't speak all day long, and he was almost sick of boredom.

"Xiao Zhuwei, look at that man." Bai Gu said to his arms, "Remember to strangle him when you grow up, remember."

"It's better to tie it firmly," Lan Jian said with a wooden face, "in case I come here before you are torn apart by the leopard."

Baigu remembered that he saved at least half of his life, so he calmed down and muttered to himself: "I had already impressed that leopard..."

Lanjian glanced at him: "Use your pig's language?"

While resting in the afternoon, there was a sharp and long howl in the air. Baigu looked over and saw the giant eagle hovering in circles, making one long and two short calls.

"Hey, is it calling you?"

Lan Jian raised his head to observe, saw that the signal of the prying mountain guest had come out, so he pulled Baigu to change the direction: "Put down the luggage, and follow me to the other side to do business first."

"So...but don't hold me so tight..."

"This road is steep, if you fall down, I can still help you." Lan Jian glanced at him, "Let's go."

The mist and rain gather under the feet, the clouds condense into ropes, and the ground is as solid as a flat ground when you step on it. The fog in front of you is completely cleared, and you can split the endless pines and cypresses.Baigu felt as if his eyes had been opened, and followed Lanjian as he walked fast.

Turning around to Ta Ridge, I saw a few people on the top of the opposite mountain walking with spears and longbows on their backs, squatting down from time to time to check the gravel and soil, and they seemed to be searching for targets.

"Mountain Pryer."

Lan Jian said, "Did you see it?"

Baigu seemed to have clairvoyance, and he could see all the vegetation in the mountains. He carefully looked at the outfits of those people for a while, and asked curiously, "Aren't they hunters in groups?"

"The Orion can't go here. The Mountain Pryer is here to collect the souls of the mountains, cut off the leylines, and absorb the spiritual energy..."

Lanjian paused at this point, looked at Baigu: "You asked me if there is a strategy to prolong life in the world, this is one of them."

Baigu opened his eyes wide: "Then, then I..."

"Although the mountain is a spiritual mountain, it's hard to find the ground." Lan Jian looked back, "If you don't dig a hole in the mountain, you won't be able to live forever. So they changed to another convenient method—killing the messenger of the mountain god, the snow leopard."

Bai Gu's heart touched, he raised his eyes and continued to watch the actions of those people, they found the footprints of wild animals passing by, the hair left when they scratched it, and after a few discussions, they began to untie their weapons and apply anesthesia.

"Take the heart, refine it into a pill and wear it, and you can get one or two abilities of the soul. But for the life they want, it's just a drop in the bucket."

Lan Jian said: "So they want to kill many."

The God of Mist and Fields flicked his sleeves, and the heavy fog in the mountains covered the sky and spread under the curtain, expanding the whole area, like a fairyland pouring into the sea.When they meet the feet of those people, a detour will be drawn, leading them away from the road, and the design will lead them into the cliff, and the fog will become a trap.

"Wait!" Baigu grabbed his arm: "Don't, Lanjian, are you going to kill someone?"

"So what if this kind of person is killed."

"Humans and animals are different. How can a human's four lives be compared to a leopard's one life?"

"Do you know why the leopard the day before yesterday dragged the cow away?" Lanjian said: "Not far from you, there are three cubs who dare not come forward to share the food. Once the mother leopard died, the three hadn't learned how to hunt yet. The children will be starved to death. This mountain will eventually become really boring, and I don’t want it to become desolate.”

Baigu was stunned for a while, seeing that those prying men were getting more and more crooked, and within the time of a cup of tea, they had already set foot on the road of no return.

"So you are for the mountain." Baigu shook his head: "Are you for Daiye?"

When Lanjian heard this, he waved his hand away, with anger on his seldom fluctuating face: "Don't talk big like Jindian! The darkness at night is to protect the sleeping people, and I hide from the common people for their safety What about you, Baigu, did you persuade me because you wanted to live forever like them?"
