Landscape of Mountains and Rivers of Salted Fish

"Is this mushroom really edible?" Le Qianqiu said looking at the pile of colorful mushrooms that Hu Si picked.

Hu Si looked at the piles of mushrooms on the ground and said, "Of course, don't doubt me, mortal, I have been roasting mushrooms for a long, long, long time. Believe me, you will like them."

Le Qianqiu said: "You can call me another way, my name is Le Qianqiu. Also, how long did you say for a long, long, long time?"

Hu Si stood up straight, looked up at the sky and thought for a while, then frowned slightly: "How many years, or hundreds of years, or thousands of years?" He rubbed his hair, "I don't remember, anyway For a long time."

Husi looked at Le Qianqiu and continued: "These are not important, you go and pick up some branches, we will roast mushrooms."

Le Qianqiu walked around as he said, and picked up some things that he suspected were branches. Hu Si saw the pile of things in Le Qianqiu's arms and said, "Do you want to eat roasted phantom tree worms? This I haven’t eaten it yet, so I can try it.”

Le Qianqiu looked at the thing in his arms with some doubts, the phantom tree worm, what is that?Just as he was thinking, the biggest branch in his hand moved, and Le Qianqiu froze for a moment, and then he saw several pairs of wings grow out of that branch, and flew away like that.

Hu Si said with some regret: "You let it go away, the phantom tree worm is hard to catch, forget it, it must not taste good anyway."

Le Qianqiu quickly put the branch in his hand on the ground, any branch he saw now looked like the phantom tree bug that flew away just now, that bug didn't mean it was ugly, just looking at it, inexplicably makes people feel that reason is slowing down. Slowly disappear.

Hu Sisheng started a fire, and the fire from these branches turned out to be blue. Le Qianqiu didn't feel the temperature when he was close to the fire. He slowly approached the burning flames with his hand, and then he felt a chill. Le Qianqiu asked: " Can this fire really bake things?"

Hu Si said with certainty: "Of course, the mushrooms here can only be roasted with the branches here, and they cannot be roasted with mortal fire."

Hu Si picked up a branch, threaded the mushrooms he picked up, and then put them on the fire to roast.To Le Qianqiu's surprise, after a while, the mushrooms started to smoke, as if they were really roasted by a warm fire.

Le Qianqiu watched quietly, dark red, light red, orange red, mushrooms of various colors were slowly roasted and began to fade, and finally turned into white.

Hu Si picked up the white mushroom from the fire and handed it to Le Qianqiu: "Taste it."

Le Qianqiu frowned slightly, not to mention that these mushrooms didn't have any seasoning, just their original color made Le Qianqiu not much to say.

Seeing Le Qianqiu reluctantly took the roasted mushrooms, Hu Si said a little unhappy: "Why, afraid that I will cheat you, do you think I can deceive people like you mortals? I am, I am," Hu Si said But after a long time nothing came out, he said to himself with some doubts, "What am I? Forget it, since you don't remember, then don't think about it."

Seeing Hu Si's expression, Le Qianqiu could actually feel the obvious discord between Hu Si and this place. He felt that Hu Si shouldn't be here. Le Qianqiu said: "You are really the same as those three foxes before. Brother, sister?"

Hu Si said as a matter of course: "Of course, they have been taking care of me since I can remember, until I was lucky enough to be transformed into one, and then I took care of them."

Le Qianqiu let out an oh, and didn't say anything else. He turned his attention back to the mushrooms in his hand. Le Qianqiu smelled the mushrooms first, and there was a milky fragrance. He tried to take a bite, and the mushrooms melted in his mouth. There was a sweet taste in the fragrance, and the taste was unexpectedly good. After taking a bite, Le Qianqiu waited for a while, and found that there was nothing unusual about his body, so he felt relieved.

He wasn't afraid that Hu Si would harm him, but mainly because he thought that his body structure might be different from Hu Si's. If Hu Si ate something that was fine, it didn't mean that he was fine if he ate it.

After confirming that there was no problem, Le Qianqiu started to eat. Hu Si watched Le Qianqiu's eating with satisfaction, and then began to roast mushrooms continuously. They didn't stop until the two of them had wiped out all the mushrooms that were like hills. .

Le Qianqiu lay down on the ground. He hadn't eaten so much for a long time, and he felt like he was full. Hu Si took a branch in his mouth and lay down too.

Le Qianqiu looked at the whale swimming slowly in the sky, and asked, "Is that one flying in the sky a fish?"

Hu Si said: "Of course it's a fish. Can't you see that? You really don't know much."

Le Qianqiu glanced at Hu Si, no normal person has ever seen a fish flying in the sky.

Afterwards, the two of them stopped talking and lay quietly on the ground, Le Qianqiu felt the wind blowing past him, and occasionally a few clouds flew by.

Here is dusk, it will always be dusk, the sun hangs on the horizon, neither will it set nor rise, here, it feels like time has stopped.

There was no day and night change, and Le Qianqiu didn't know how long he had been lying down, until he didn't want to lie down anymore, then he stood up, and Hu Si also got up, Le Qianqiu asked Hu Si: "Why do you like people from outside?"

Hu Si said: "Probably because of boredom, big brother and the others can't talk, and no one chats with me."

Le Qianqiu raised his eyebrows and said, "Then how did you learn to speak?"

Hu Si asked with some doubts: "Isn't this something you're born with? Do you still need to learn it?"

Le Qianqiu twitched the corner of his mouth, sorry, mortals just have to learn.

Le Qianqiu ignored Hu Si's words, he looked in Ye's direction: "I should go, I'm going to Ye's side to have a look."

Hu Si also looked over there, and he said, "I want to go to the night too, but I don't know why, I can't make it through. You go and have a look, and come back and tell me what's there after reading it."

Le Qianqiu nodded and said, "Okay, I'll tell you after I read it."

Hu Si said: "I'll take you there, you're walking too slowly." Saying so, Hu Si picked up Le Qianqiu and flew towards that side.

At first, Le Qianqiu was a little scared, but after a while, Le Qianqiu found that Hu Sifei was flying very smoothly, and the wind here seemed to give way to him, and he flew all the way to the destination without incident. After cutting the same black and red division, I sighed, the way of heaven is really magical. The dusk and night here are obviously forcibly separated, and the two sides do not interfere with each other.

Fox Four said: "I'll send you here, I can't go any further, and then you have to go by yourself."

Le Qianqiu smiled and said, "Wait for my good news."

Le Qianqiu turned around and looked at the direction he came from. It was still an endless orange-red, eternal dusk. Le Qianqiu found out the camera, pressed the shooting button, and heard the prompt of being recorded, Le Qianqiu turned to look at the night.

For some reason, he always felt that if he took another step forward, he would not be able to come back again. Le Qianqiu took a deep breath, and said to Hu Si: "Then goodbye."

Hu Si waved at him: "Let's go quickly, go early and come back early."

Le Qianqiu nodded, he took a step forward, and the darkness engulfed him in an instant, he was inexplicably flustered.

Le Qianqiu turned around and looked over, seeing that Hu Si was still standing there, he wanted to go back and talk to Hu Si, but found that there was a barrier in front of him, and he could only enter but not exit.

Hu Si outside the barrier was in a trance for a moment, and then he looked around strangely: "Why am I here?" Hu Si looked at the darkness in front of him, he stretched out his hand, and touched a barrier as expected , Hu Si sighed, "Why am I here again, obviously I can't get through, I really want to know what's over there."

Suddenly, three foxes appeared next to Hu Si. Hu Si squatted down, looked at the fox and said, "Why are you here, huh?" Hu Si sniffed his clothes, "I ate mushrooms again, it seems that I am eating mushrooms again. I ate poisonous mushrooms, so I came here in a trance."

Hu Si shook his head, then turned around and walked back: "Go back, let's continue to catch flying fish."

Eating poisonous mushrooms again?So you've eaten poisonous mushrooms before and you're taking me to roast mushrooms?A screen away, Le Qianqiu clenched his fists, wanting to punch someone.

After listening to Hu Si talking to himself, Le Qianqiu frowned slightly when he saw Hu Si going away, and immediately forgot himself whether there was a problem with Hu Si or here, Le Qianqiu felt that it must be the latter Bigger, this boundless night is uncomfortable to watch.

Le Qianqiu tried to knock on the barrier, shouting Hu Si's name loudly, Hu Si obviously couldn't hear anything, he left without looking back, a fox and Le Qianqiu met their eyes.

Then, Le Qianqiu heard a soft voice appear in his mind: "Traveler, let's go, after walking through the night is dawn, don't come back again."

After the voice finished speaking, the foxes caught up with Hu Si and followed him away.

Le Qianqiu stood there for a while, wavering between whether to manually open the barrier for a while, and finally decided not to destroy it casually. His instinct told him that the existence of this barrier was meaningful.

Le Qianqiu stood for a while, then turned back and walked into the darkness. He came here because he was curious about the black palace he saw before. Now that he came in, he must have a look.

It's night here, although it's dark, there is still moonlight, at least Le Qianqiu can see the road under his feet clearly, because his vision is not good, he walks a little cautiously.

Here, Le Qianqiu can always feel the sight in the dark, but these dangerous sights will disappear soon after seeing him.

Le Qianqiu looked at the black road leading to the palace in front of him. He tried to stretch out his foot and stepped on it. For a moment he felt that he was stepping on water, and the sound was similar. Le Qianqiu bent down and touched his foot with his hand Feeling the dry touch on his hands, he felt relieved, as long as it was a body, there was nothing to be afraid of, Le Qianqiu did not hesitate, and walked towards the palace step by step.

This place is different from the dusk. You can't see any scenery. Although the eyes are not dark, the viewing distance is very limited. If you are a little further away, you can't see anything.

Le Qianqiu could only occasionally look at the dusk side through the barrier, and after walking for a while, he finally came to the gate of the palace. The palace here was exactly the same as the dusk side except for the color.

There is Fox Four over there at dusk, are there people here too?Le Qianqiu pushed the door tentatively, and opened it easily, and walked into the main hall. There is no darkness here as Le Qianqiu imagined. Instead, there are many luminous stones inlaid in the main hall. The light from these stones is not eye-catching. Soft beige light.

Le Qianqiu stood at the door and asked, "Is anyone there?"

It was a gust of wind that answered Le Qianqiu, and this gust of wind directly carried Le Qianqiu into the air. Because he didn't feel murderous, the wind was also very soft, so Le Qianqiu didn't resist.

Following this gust of wind, a person appeared in front of Le Qianqiu, it was a tall woman, she was wearing a robe of the same color as the night, her skin was as white as the moonlight, such a beautiful person, but there was no expression on her face, look Looking at her, Le Qianqiu felt like he was looking at a delicate doll.

The woman looked at Le Qianqiu, and asked in a cool voice: "You came from dusk? Did you see anyone over there?" She said the last half of the sentence with a bit of urgency, which made her a little angry .

Le Qianqiu said: "Can you let me down first?"

The woman waved her hand, the wind dissipated instantly, Le Qianqiu landed safely, the woman still stared at Le Qianqiu, waiting for his reply.

Le Qianqiu said: "I've only seen a fox who has cultivated to become an adult. His name is Hu Si, and he lives in the palace opposite. Do you know him?"

The expression on the woman's face softened, and she murmured: "Really, his name is Husi now, which is also very good. It's better to start over again than to be trapped in the memory of the past forever."

There was a slight smile in her voice, and she said to Le Qianqiu: "I'll send you out, the night will swallow everyone who comes here, don't stay here for long."

Le Qianqiu felt another gust of wind entangled him, taking him up again, the woman glanced at the sword behind Le Qianqiu, she lowered her eyes slightly and said: "Thank you for not breaking the barrier, he will disappear if the barrier disappears. "

The woman smiled at Le Qianqiu, then waved her sleeves, Le Qianqiu slowly floated out of the palace, and then floated towards the dawn, where there was light.
