Ye Gui

The blood of the demon did play a role. Everyone was walking quickly in the forest, and occasionally they could hear the conversations among the demons, all of them were looking for them.They walked lightly and dodged without attracting attention.

At this time, the sun was rising, and the clouds in the east were faintly blood-red, the mist dispersed, and the autumn dew was thick, and everyone's shoulders, knees, and legs were wet with dew.

There are no roads in the deep mountains, and thorns are overgrown. If you don't pay attention, your clothes and skin will be cut.

Lin Tong was carrying Lei Yan, who was unconscious, on his back. Lin Shao worriedly put his cloak on him, and the other three members of the Xun Ting Army used their weapons to cut off branches and thorns to open the way, and the three cut off the rear.

The mountain forest that had been bustling all night gradually returned to silence, the tits twittered, and the birds and beasts came out to forage.

Along the stream to the edge of a pool, the mountain spring waterfall rushes into the pool along the [-]-foot steep wall. The water in the pool is colorful.

Lin Tong felt the person behind him move: "General, are you awake?"

Lei Yan opened his eyes, and habitually moved his hands and feet first. Since he cut down those monsters last night, the cold fragrance left in his nose disappeared, and the feeling of uncontrollable body returned. He was still able to walk the day before yesterday, but now he lies After struggling on the adjutant's back, Lin Tong put him down, his feet were extremely soft, he couldn't stand still and nearly fell down, but Lin Tong hurriedly held him up.

"General, let's take a rest here, eat something, and go straight up the mountain. I don't think the monsters in the mountain will come out during the day. It's best to find the mountain god today. If we can't find it, we have to find a hidden place to spend the night. "

Lei Yan took a sip of the spring water brought by his subordinates: "If you can't find it today, you can go down the mountain tomorrow morning."

He remembered that the mountain god once said that he only had three days, and tomorrow would be the third day.

Lin Tong was his friend who grew up with him, Lin Shao was just like his own sister, and the rest of them were also his brothers who died in the army.At this time, several people were exhausted, covered with blood all over their faces, and surrounded him.

He is very aware of his physical condition, if he can't find the mountain god tomorrow, and the monsters are rampant in the mountain, he is afraid that if he can't move, he will drag his brother down.

Lin Tong said anxiously: "General, what are you talking about! If we can't find it today, we will look for it tomorrow. We have enough dry food, and there are wild rabbits and pheasants in the forest to eat. Don't be afraid to search for a few more days. If you look carefully, you will be able to find it!" "

"The mountain will be closed in a few days. If you don't go down the mountain when the barrier opens, you won't be able to go out until next spring."

Lin Shao: "General, we will never leave alone, if we want to leave, let's go together!"

"Yes! It's a big deal and come back next spring!"

Lei Yan smiled wryly, how could he wait for the spring of next year...

"That's it! Zhao Shunjie and Lu Li listen to the order!"

The two got down on one knee.

"The two of you are looking for a hidden hiding place on the sunny side. When you find it, send a voice transmission to everyone."

"Yes!"

"Zhang Jiu, Li Guangshan, look east. Lin Shaohu Mian, go west. Lin Tong, you... let's follow the stream to the north."

"Yes!"

"Remember, whether you find it or not, you must gather at the overnight place before sunset!"

After the others left, Lin Tong knelt down to carry Lei Yan on his back, but he stopped him: "Lin Tong." Lei Yan called out.

"General?"

Lei Yan: "The mountain god entered my dream the day before yesterday..."

Lin Tong waited for his next sentence with a solemn expression.

"He told me to come and find him, but I only have three days to live. If I can find him alive, he will save me... Today is the second day."

Lin Tong stood up abruptly and exclaimed, "Impossible!"

Lei Yan: "Listen to me, you and I grew up together, I know you definitely don't want to let me go, but you have to think about Xiao Shao, think about other brothers..."

Lin Tong squatted down, grabbed his arms, and carried him on his back: "General, don't talk anymore, let's go find it now!"

"I can definitely find it... I can definitely find it... I can definitely..." Lei Yan leaned on his back, and could feel him trembling slightly.

Lin Tong walked a few steps, and heard a sigh from behind: "Lin Tong, this is an order."

He didn't answer, but his footsteps were firm and heavy, and he walked up the mountain along the gravel along the stream.

At noon, they climbed to the middle of the mountain and received a voice transmission from Zhao Shunjie. They found a cave in the middle of the mountain on the sunny side, which was fairly hidden. They killed a few hares, cleaned them up, and waited for the evening to roast them.

The stream was gurgling, Lei Yan stretched his hand into the water, it was icy cold.The deep mountains and old forests are full of towering trees, the leaves are all yellow, and the wind blows and flutters down.

There was a shadow in the creek under the shade of the tree. Lei Yan thought it was a huge black rock, but when he looked closely, it turned out to be a living thing with a ghostly aura.

Lin Tong saw it too, and the two looked at each other. He took a few steps closer, and a black figure emerged from the water. It was a water monkey, wearing Yaqing's short robe, with a sharp mouth and a monkey cheek, with a water dish on its head. The body is soaked in the stream.

"You..." He spoke, his voice was like a frog's cry, "You are the mortals they said? Strange, why are you so inhuman?"

Lin Tong pulled out Luo Qing, the water monkey jumped in fright, and dived into the water with only a pair of eyes exposed, bubbling bubbles from its mouth.

"What are you talking about?" Lin Tong roared.

The water monkey raised its head out of the water: "They are looking for you, you are looking for him, and he is looking for you too..." He said something like a tongue twister.

Lei Yan: "Excuse me, do you know where the mountain god is?"

The water monkey sank its head into the water, then came out again immediately and said, "I just crossed the stream and headed north."

Lei Yan: "Where does the mountain god live?"

The water monkey shook his head: "I live in a forbidden area, I can't get out." Lei Yan understood that what he meant was that he could not leave the stream during the day.

"Where is the forbidden area?" Lin Tong asked anxiously.

The water monkey shouted: "Forbidden land! It's in the forbidden area!" His eyes widened with anger, a row of tiny fangs were exposed from the bird's beak, and he slapped the water vigorously with his palm, and the splashed water fell into the sun. Back in the water.

I'm afraid I can't get to the sun in the daytime.Lei Yan thought to himself.But where is this forbidden place?

The black shadow in the stream swam very fast, and in the blink of an eye, it swam to the shade of the tree on the other side. The water monkey came out, stood on a rock in the water, jumped and shouted: "Eat! Eat! Eat!"

Lin Tong was furious, and raised his sword towards him. Seeing his menacing approach, the water monkey jumped into the water and spouted water at him, pouring water on Lin Tong's face.

"Damn it!" He wiped his face, then looked at the water, the water monkey had long since disappeared.

Lei Yan said with a smile: "Water monkeys are the result of drowning children, childlike innocence loves to play tricks. Let's go!"

Seeing him smile, Lin Tong felt that the water was well worth it.

They continued to search to the north, but there was no harvest all afternoon. Seeing the sun set, they hurried to the direction of the sun.

The cave that Zhao Shunjie Luli was looking for was very hidden. The entrance of the cave was not big and was covered by thorns. If you don't look carefully, you can't see it. The cave is tens of feet deep.

Others came back one after another to help light the fire and barbecue.Seeing Lin Tong's complexion changed slightly, Lin pulled him back and asked, "Brother, what's wrong with you?"

On the way back, Lin Tong had already thought up his words: "Xiaoshao, the general and I met a water monkey and told us that the mountain god is in the forbidden area in the north. I will carry the general there tomorrow morning, and you take the brothers down the mountain first."

Lin was slightly puzzled: "Then why don't we go together? I don't want to go down the mountain first, I want to go with you!"

Lin Tong: "Water monkey said that the mountain god is happy and quiet, and the mountain god promised to save the general. You all follow. If there are too many people, what if he regrets it?"

"Then we'll wait here, and we'll go down the mountain together when we're cured!"

Lin Tong said sternly: "I don't know when it will be cured, just listen to me and take the brothers down the mountain first! Don't you feel relieved that I will accompany the general? Don't worry, I will definitely treat the general completely Take it back!"

Lin Shao was still worried.

Lin Tong also knew what his sister was thinking, and continued: "Don't you listen to my brother? This is also the general's order!"

Since it was a military order, Lin Shaobian had to obey it, so he nodded.

The autumn night came early, and everyone put out the fire, wrapped the thorn bushes to block the entrance of the cave, and kept vigil in groups of two.

As night fell, the cries of falcons and night owls in the distance passed across the sky, and the forest became lively again, as if many people were whispering, and it seemed to be mixed with shallow singing.

Everyone didn't sleep last night, and gradually fell asleep amidst the low-pitched lullaby-like singing.After an unknown amount of time, Lin Tong woke up with a start, and there was a rustling sound, something was turning over the thorns at the entrance of the cave!

Lin Tong woke up suddenly, and found that Zhao Shunjie, Lu Li, who was watching the night, had already fallen into a deep sleep, and everyone was asleep. He approached the entrance of the cave holding his breath, and a black shadow was playing with the thorns. It was the water monkey he saw during the day!

How did he find it! ?

"I'm afraid it's the water sprayed on you during the day." Lei Yan woke up at some point, and said in a low voice.

Lin Tong pulled out Luo Qing, woke up Lin Shao and the others, and walked out holding the sword.

The water monkey was concentrating on pulling the thorns. Although it had rough skin and thick flesh, it did not dare to dig into the bushes easily, for fear that the water dish above its head would be lifted, and it would die if the water ran out.

Luo Qing stabbed it right in the heart, he screamed and was about to run away, Lei Yan shouted: "Don't let him run away!"

Lin Tong chased after him. He was tall and long-legged, and he grabbed the water monkey by the neck in a few steps. The water monkey was as tall as a seven or eight-year-old child. He lifted it up and kicked it with its webbed frog feet.

Lin Tong took it back to the cave and tied it up. He was afraid that it would bark and covered his mouth with his clothes.

"How to do?"

Lei Yan sat up and leaned against the stone wall with piercing eyes. Although he looked radiant, Lin Tong always felt that something was wrong. He understood in just a moment that the general's radiance was clearly nothing more than a dying man's radiance.

His heart was full of grief, and he didn't care about any water monkeys.

"Let's do this first. After tonight, you all go down the mountain!"

"General!" Lin Tong knelt on the ground, and the others also knelt.Needless to say, they are all battle-tested soldiers, and they know very well under what circumstances the coach would issue such an order.

The wind howled in the mountains and forests, and the voice of singing in a low voice stopped at some point, and it seemed that only the mountain wind was left in the world.

The water monkey suddenly became excited, stood up with its frog feet on the ground and was about to run out, but Lin Tong grabbed it and lifted the water dish.The water monkey whined in fright.

An elegant female voice outside the cave accompanied by melodious music: "Don't kill it, it's still a child."

"Who?!"

Those outside the cave didn't intend to come in, so they giggled: "My family is Yusi."

"Yusi?!" Lin slightly covered his mouth in surprise, that is the famous big water demon in Dongzhou continent!

Laughter broke out again outside the cave: "I didn't want to come here at first. What good food does this mortal have... But my son insists on me coming. Since it is so filial, I have no choice but to give it a bad bite..."

Lei Yan said loudly: "What you want is me, if I let you eat, would you swear to let others live?"

"General!!"

Yu Si smiled and said: "I don't care about my family, but my son is still hungry, there is no reason for a mother to let her child starve when she is full."

"General! Your subordinates will not just live in mediocrity!" "Subordinates please fight!" "I would rather die than surrender!" "General!"

Lei Yan closed his eyes: "Forget it, maybe this is fate. It's my fault that I didn't let you all die in battle. Now that the matter has come to this point, why don't we fight hard, and it won't be in vain for our brothers!"

He stood up, his time was approaching, his body was extremely light, as if his soul had already been out of his body, and he forcibly dragged his body to move.

Zhao Shunjie, Hu Mian, Lu Li, Li Guangshan, Zhang Jiu took the lead out of the cave, Lin Tonglin slightly helped Lei Yan out, and outside the cave was a beautiful woman in a water-blue silver pattern embroidered wave-juan dress holding a silver vertical-headed harp, seeing them Come out, giggling, staring at Lei Yan.

"It's really top grade..." She plucked the strings with her slender hands, and the sound of the piano was soft like water waves.

Suddenly, the sound of the zither changed, and the melody changed sharply, as if thousands of troops were coming, Lei Yan instantly summoned Yegui, brandished his knife and stood in front of the crowd. The roots broke at the waist, and the leaves flew.

Lei Yan knelt down on one knee, holding the handle of the black knife with one hand, and resting on the surface of the knife with the other.

Yusi saw that he was at the end of his strength, she couldn't stop giggling, the harp was floating in the air, she plucked the string with both hands, the sound was higher and higher, like a huge wave rolling in.

Lei Yan took a deep breath, held the handle of the knife with both hands, and slammed down on the ground fiercely, blocking the sound waves, summoned the slaughter with his left hand, jumped up, and slashed at Yusi.

It was the last blow he could make.

Yusi took a step back, smiled sweetly, stretched the slender index finger of her right hand to cover the strings of the zither, and let it go suddenly, like a crossbow arrow leaving the string, it shot straight at the heart.

The moment before Lei Yan closed his eyes, he saw flying snow all over the sky.

Snowing?

"Finally found it!" The expected pain did not come, but instead he fell into a warm embrace, wrapped in snow-colored robe sleeves, and the clear and sweet fragrance of snow came to his nostrils.

The man hugged him and fell to the ground, and asked with a smile, "How are you? Are you still alive?"

Lei Yan's mind was blank, but he tightly wrapped his arms around his back, like a drowning person just surfacing, greedily inhaling the smell of his body.

The man smiled and hugged him tightly and let him suck: "It's really a cat that steals food."

Yu Si couldn't take a single blow, looked at the man in white in front of him, and called out his name in surprise and fear: "Bai Yin."
