death of mountain god

Chapter 48 Copper Cymbals

Xu Chongming has been hiding behind the bench, holding his head in his hands, kneeling and sticking out his hips, waiting for a bang, regretting in his heart: it is too dangerous to deal with people from outside the mountain, you should watch them enter the door first...

Zhou Li was stunned for a moment, a mess of threads tangled in his mind, since he did not make a mistake, he would not be struck by lightning. He heaved a sigh of relief, and tentatively confirmed, "Is it true?"

"I didn't make a mistake." Shen Yuntan thought about it, and the old things that he had buried in his heart with a paper seal were actually not so difficult to talk about, just like when an adult looked back on his childhood of stealing melons and jujubes, he was The embarrassment and embarrassment that people broke through on the spot has long been turned into laughter.

Closing his eyes, after a long time of several years ago, he wanted to sort out a proper rhetoric, but he didn't know where to start, from the intertwined roots of Bai Yu at the foot of the mountain, or the parting on the ruins of the temple?

The brief silence was broken by Xu Chongming: "It's over, isn't the mountain gate broken? Where did the god come from in this age..."

Shen Yuntan let go of his tightly locked brows, and smiled at Zhou Li: "I will tell you in detail later."

The old man Xu Chongming lifted Xiao Dan's eyelids, re-examined the two people without anyone noticing, his face flickered, and he confirmed his guess - yes, the door must be broken.

Bad is good.He suddenly felt the joy of overthrowing a certain feudal hierarchy, and wished he could parade the streets for three days with a trumpet in hand, announcing this great news to all the demons who had been forced to walk away for many years.

But thinking about it, Xu Chongming still stopped walking towards the gate. Who knows if the gate was broken just once in a while?He looked at the blue sky with white clouds floating above his head, feeling timid, and simply lay back, took a good seat on the bench and continued to wait for the "bus".

Suddenly there was a crisp metal impact sound. Zhou Li followed the sound and saw a huge coat rack standing beside Xu Chongming. They are knocking each other out of order, the sound is short and rapid, which makes people feel tense.

Xu Chongming pointed to a white spot in the air and explained, "The bus is here."

Wen Yu landed on the top hanging branch, like a miniature landscape - a little white bird with the size of a thumb standing on the coat rack, Xu Chongming asked in a loud voice, "Going to Dali Temple?"

The small copper cymbal was knocked twice, and Xu Chongming translated: "Go, twice means to go, once means not to go."

Zhou Li was rather disdainful: "Do I have to match the code to take the bus?"

Then Xu Chongming yelled: "Wen Yu, come down, that's where the bus stops, and it will crush you in a while. In your eyes?"

Seeing that Xu Chongming lost his posture, Wen Yu turned into a human form without any haste, stepped on the hanging branches and jumped down lightly. At the same time, a group of big birds landed on five hanging branches of different lengths in an orderly manner. Hold your wings and stand still, waiting for this wave of passengers to sit still.

Xu Chongming jumped up in a hurry, one after another, the backs of ten big birds were full of passengers, and each bird had two gray ribbons on its body, which probably served as safety belts.

"Goodbye everyone, the bus here is free, take whatever you want, you're welcome."

The small copper cymbals danced again, leaving only a few people who missed the bus looking anxiously at the hanging branches, and a row of people looked up at the sky at a 45-degree angle.

Wen Yu suddenly turned back into a white bird, and sat on top of Zhou Li: "It seems that there is a limited number of people, and there is no standing ticket."

Zhou Li asked strangely: "It's impossible to stand here... The question is how do we get up? Except you."

Wen Yu glanced at Shen Yuntan quickly, and said earnestly: "I can carry you up."

"Don't bother." Shen Yuntan said softly, "It's better to be self-reliant. Although I'm not a powerful character, it's more than enough to build a ladder."

Wen Yu was silent, and such a scene unconsciously appeared in his mind: Shen Yuntan diligently cut down a few big trees, made a pile of wood like chopping firewood, and then worked tirelessly with an ax and iron nails to knock out a pile of wood. A shabby ladder barely visible to the human eye.

He spread his wings and was about to argue with reason when suddenly he was speechless and stared blankly at the scene in front of him.

Shen Yuntan's fingertips collapsed suddenly, exposing a white phalanx, and the collapse stopped at the second joint, and the beautiful phalanx hooked towards Zhou Li: "Are you afraid?"

"Don't be afraid." Zhou Li leaned over and kissed the phalange that had lost its flesh, and when he raised his head again, his expression was a bit worried: "Does this hurt?"

Shen Yuntan said: "It doesn't hurt, I'm not a body of flesh and blood. Seeing that these bones are still useful, I might as well build you a ladder."

The tip of the bone is sharp, and when you hook your hand again, the willow branch will grow more than ten meters. The bone is no longer a bone, but a white soft leather water pipe, or a long and thin snake, wrapped around it like a silk silk. Around the two of them, waiting for the master's order.

Zhou Li took a deep breath, seeing piles of white bones reflected behind Shen Yuntan, one end of the bones was connected to the man's fingertips, and there was a sound of bone cracking in his ear, which he felt was crisp and pleasant.

What Shen Yuntan said about not hurting is of course false. It is true that the bones of the mountain gods are endless. It is false that broken bones do not hurt. However, this kind of pain is nothing compared to the countless thunderstorms. Zhou Li did it for the Queen Mother of the West. For the group of monsters seeking shelter under the temple, every scar on his body is a medal, but Shen Yuntan's original intention is particularly ridiculous - to build a ladder.

However, no one can deny that what he did was wrong. After all, he was willing and did not use it as capital: "Look, how much sacrifice did I make for you?"

While reorganizing the broken bones, Shen Yuntan smiled at Yan Yan: "What kind of ladder do you like? Do you want carved flowers?"

Zhou Li stared at the man's white and clear eyes, trying to see some truth, but he had no expression on his face, but he was sneering in his heart: Who are you lying to?Can a broken bone not hurt?He was nothing more than arrogant and wanted to see how much this mountain god could do for himself.

He heard the sentence again: You did not go wrong.After Qiqiao came back to his senses, Zhou Li finally began to grasp the meaning of these words. Doesn't that mean that he is also a god?

Zhou Li stared at him quietly: "I am also a god, why can't I make such a ladder now?"

Shen Yuntan didn't know how to answer. In fact, the answer is very simple. To put it bluntly: You used to be a god, but after you died, you went into reincarnation and became an ordinary person for several generations. It's okay to stop here, once asked again, it will involve some unspeakable things.

In the end, he just sighed, his tone half sad and half regretful: "May I tell you tonight? It's a long story."

Zhou Li pursed the corners of his mouth reluctantly, then pulled Shen Yuntan's right hand with a broken phalanx in distress, rubbed it for a while, seeing this paralyzed expression, suddenly couldn't bear it anymore, he squinted his eyes: " Yun Tan, I don't want to hear it anymore, it must not be a good story."

It was indeed not a good story, Shen Yuntan let out a sigh of relief, as if he had been spared a torture.

The ladder was completed, and the next wave of buses, white birds, flew over. Black imitated Xu Chongming and shouted: "Will you go to the Temple of Heaven?"

In an instant, everything was silent.

The old man who was humming popular songs of decades stuck in the lyrics, the young girl gossiping about Dali Temple shut up, and even the big bird that was sitting on the hanging branch closed one side of its wings and was dumbfounded, leaving the other side alone. The wings were hanging in the air, not knowing what to do. At first glance, he thought he had encountered a legendary acupuncture point.

The only thing that cares about them is the small copper cymbal, which rang three times, Blake was dumbfounded, once it didn't go, and twice it went, but it rang three times in a row... What is it?

The sound of the small copper cymbal seemed to have relieved the hole for everyone. The big bird shook its body in embarrassment, retracted the other wing, and the crowd waiting for the bus rushed up. All of them were good at flying and jumping. Zhou Li's sleeve: "Maybe it means that you need to transfer? Anyway, it's free, I'll get on first, and two people can sit on a bird, so I'll reserve a seat for you, chirp."

The last word was a bird cry, and when Zhou Li realized it, the silly bird had already raised two wings and flew up, standing proudly on top of the big bird, like a father and son.

As for Blake, that scheming boy has already taken advantage of his appearance to monopolize a big red-headed bird, who looks like the captain of the bus.

Seeing that the two people were still standing still in front of the ladder, Wen Yu urged: "Hurry up, if you are late, you have to wait for the next wave."

Zhou Li had no choice but to suppress his doubts about the strange reactions of the crowd, and jumped up a few times. Shen Yuntan followed behind him, and said loudly as if Wen Yu could not hear him: "You go to Xiaobu's place, and I will go to the other one."

The small copper cymbals are quite human, and when they saw the two were seated, they clanged and clanged to take off.

The bird flew very steadily and moved forward at almost a constant speed. Zhou Li picked up a kind-faced elder sister and asked, "May I ask why just now..."

The eldest sister gave him a strange look: "You are from outside the mountain, no wonder you don't know the taboo of this word, but these Taoist priests don't care whether you are from outside the mountain or not, after sending us off, they will escort you to Dali Temple .”

Zhou Li twisted Blake's ear severely, and with a mournful face as if he had suffered an injustice, he complained to the elder sister: "Didn't you say that those who don't know are innocent, and you can just stay there after you're gone." come out?"

The eldest sister hissed, with tears in her eyes: "What kind of place is Dali Temple? It goes in vertically and comes out horizontally. It's none of your business and you have to shed your skin. Oh, poor thing."

Zhou Li looked around, everyone looked at the two big birds with deep meaning, he twisted Blake's other ear, and stared at Shen Yuntan next to him wistfully: "I thought this bird meant well. , put me and Yun Tan together, I didn't expect it to be just packed and escorted."

Black was silent at first, but at this moment he suddenly opened his mouth: "There is nothing you can do, that bone spirit?"

Bone Demon?Whether it is tolerable or unbearable, Zhou Li denied it categorically: "Yun Tan is definitely not a bone spirit, I guarantee it with my personality."

"Then what is he?" Black turned around abruptly, staring at him closely with a pair of gray-blue eyes.
