Sea Mountain Bright Moon

The two sat and rested for a while, Han Lingsha changed the medicine for Liu Mengli again, and saw that her wound had stopped bleeding, so she felt relieved, washed the wound with clean water, applied golden sore medicine, and tied it tightly with cloth to prevent infection .

But after being busy in the middle of the night, Han Lingsha calculated the time in her mind, and felt that it should be earlier than the cock crowing, so she said to Liu Mengli: "It will be bright outside here, when the people in your family find that you are missing, they must In a hurry."

"...No, they won't be able to notice that I'm gone within three days," Liu Mengli said, "When I went out, I used to set up a formation in Xingyun Garden, but anyone who enters will see that I'm still there. If you are not a person with profound Taoism, you will definitely not notice the difference."

"It turns out that you really have left behinds everywhere," Han Lingsha smiled, only thinking that Mengli said that she knew a little bit of magic, but now it seems that she is humble.Then he moved his eyes to the beast in front of him, thinking that the beast looked so big, he didn't know whether it could be eaten or not, and he didn't know the quality of the meat.

Liu Mengli saw Han Lingsha staring at the beast's body in a daze, and said, "Is Lingsha hungry?"

"No... a little..." Han Lingsha smiled coyly, and said, "I've been tossing and tossing all night, and I'm already hungry, but I didn't bring any dry food when I came out this time. By the way, aren't you hungry?" ?”

Quietly shaking her head, like a magic trick, Liu Mengli stretched out her palm and saw a small oil paper bag on it, Han Lingsha could smell the smell of meat without looking at it, and she was overjoyed, "Good Mengli, you really brought Eat it!"

After finishing speaking, he took the oiled paper bag from Liu Mengli's hand, opened it, and found that there were several pieces of dried meat, although the quantity was not much, it was enough to satisfy the hunger, Han Lingsha took out one and handed it to Liu Mengli.

Liu Mengli shook her head and said, "I've always been a vegetarian."

What are you doing with meat if you are a vegetarian?Could it be that he brought it specially for himself?

Seeing that Liu Mengli didn't eat, Han Lingsha was also a little embarrassed to speak, "Then what should you do?"

"Because of practicing spells, I often fast the grains, even if I don't eat or drink for three to five days, it's fine," Liu Mengli said, "So you can eat Lingsha by yourself."

"But……"

"My foot is injured and I can't move easily. I will trouble you to help me later. If you can't eat enough and have no strength, how will you help me out later?"

"Nonsense! It's okay for me to walk out with you now, just with your small body," Han Lingsha hurriedly said. Seeing Liu Mengli looking at her quietly, she felt a little embarrassed and muttered: "You just Vegetarian, no wonder so thin, a gust of wind will blow away.

After all, he didn't refuse, so he tore the jerky with his hands and ate it. After a while, he wiped out half of a pack of jerky like a storm, and wrapped the remaining half into his treasure bag in case for need.

Only then did she kick the trap beside her, and said: "I don't know where some wicked person with smoke came from, and put the trap here."

The trap was not very strong, but was kicked by Han Lingsha lightly, and it fell apart.

But Liu Mengli shook her head slightly, and said softly: "Lingsha, just look at that beast trap...I'm afraid it wasn't put here by 'people'."

"It's not a human, could it be a ghost? I, Han Lingsha, have entered more than [-] ancient tombs in the past ten years. I have seen living people make traps for ghosts, but I have never seen ghosts make traps for living people." It's caught, and let me see what the trap made by this ghost looks like," Han Lingsha smiled, stretched her legs and hooked the broken trap over, looked carefully, and saw the trap The workmanship of the clip is extremely rough and primitive. It was originally made of branches, vines, and leather grass as the skeleton, and ice blades as the dovetail. If you look closely at the vines, branches, and ice cubes, it seems that there are traces of teeth being bitten. Take a closer look. , there was a smell of beasts on it, his face suddenly changed, and he asked in surprise: "Mengli, you said that this beast trap was made by wild beasts?"

Wild beasts can make bear traps, so wouldn't they become spirits?

"I'm afraid it is." Liu Mengli nodded, pointed to the corpse of the beast in front of her, and said, "Lingsha, please help me up and go there."

"Why do you go there? Do you want to see how they died?" Han Lingsha stood up, and then carefully helped Liu Mengli up, and said, "You said earlier that there are still things to be investigated. Could it be that you want to investigate these beasts?" cause of death."

"I want to know...the reason why these beasts appeared and hurt people," Liu Mengli stared at the corpses of the beasts, with inexplicable pain in her eyes, and said, "I think I will know the answer soon."

"what is the answer?"

"Look, Lingsha, these beasts are huge, and the wounds on their bodies are sharp and neat. It is difficult for ordinary sharp blades to cause so many wounds in a short period of time. Do you still remember the appearance of the beast we saw when we were above?"

"Yes, I remember."

"I once heard that there is a kind of cultivator in the world, who can control the sword with Qi, and kill people invisible in the blink of an eye."

"Ah, I know this! You are talking about the kind of sword fairy who punishes rape and eliminates evil, and does justice for the heavens! Is it because the beasts hurting people here alarmed some sword immortals who have entered the world, and some people came here , kill these monsters, and eliminate harm for the people?"

"Yes, Lingsha, you are right, it's just..." Liu Mengli suddenly had a sad look on her face, she squatted down slowly, first put her hand on the beast's head, opened the beast's mouth and checked its teeth , Immediately retreated a few more, and said to Lingsha: "Lingsha, use a dagger to cut open its stomach to see."

"Ah? They're all dead...forget it..." Han Lingsha's expression was unavoidably ugly, and she didn't know what Liu Mengli wanted, but seeing that her expression seemed to be quite painful, she immediately said: "Okay, be careful."

After saying that, he slowly let go of Liu Mengli, pulled out the dagger and walked up to the beast. After a moment of hesitation, he stabbed the dagger into the soft belly of the beast, and then pulled it downward. Immediately, dark red blood spurted out , The liver, intestines, stomach and lungs of the beast also flowed out.

Han Lingsha put away the dagger, and when she turned her head, she saw Liu Mengli limping over, she hurriedly stepped forward to support her, and said, "What exactly do you want?"

Liu Mengli just shook her head, didn't say anything, but walked to the pile of viscera, looked at the stomach pouch, congealed her fingertips, bent over and swiped across the belly pouch, breaking open the pouch, and flowing out of it Black and rancid juice residue.

"Sure enough..." Muttering to herself, Liu Mengli's expression became more serious.

"What do you see, Mengli?"

"Look, Lingsha..." Liu Mengli pointed to the pile of black and rotten things on the ground, and said, "These beasts... all live on grass."

"Grass-eating?" Han Lingsha was startled. After carefully looking at the pile of filth on the ground, there were undigested leaves and roots in it. Even if she believed what Liu Mengli said, she said, "I didn't expect these guys to look like Vicious, but a vegetarian monk."

No, since they are vegetarians, why do they violently hurt people?Looking at the number of wild beast corpses outside, it is impossible for so many wild beasts to gather silently in a short period of time. Presumably, these wild beasts have lived here for generations and lived and reproduced.

"Besides, their staple food should be Li vanilla." Liu Mengli slowly closed her eyes, and said, "The reason for hurting people is probably because of Li vanilla."

Han Lingsha was originally a person with a clear mind, Liu Mengli figured out the joints in a few words, presumably these wild beasts who lived here for generations have always eaten Li vanilla as their staple food, but in recent years, the people in Shouyang City have been making incense. He began to collect a large amount of Li vanilla, which reduced the food for the beasts, and eventually he became violent and hurt people when he couldn't bear it anymore, but he didn't want to alarm the sword fairy who didn't know where he came from, and finally ended up like this.

Looking at Liu Mengli's sad expression again, Han Lingsha hurriedly said: "Mengli, do you think you are responsible for these things?"

"If I hadn't taught the people of Shouyang how to make incense with Li vanilla, how could they..."

"Absolutely nothing! You taught the method of making incense out of good intentions, and you want to seek the well-being of the people, but how do you know that people are greedy, and when they have enough food and clothing, those people still want wealth and honor, because human beings want to satisfy their own selfish desires. , Collecting a large amount of li vanilla led to being backlashed by these wild beasts, and these wild beasts killed so many people, and they were finally wiped out by the sword fairy. There is a definite number for everything, so how can it be blamed for you who came out of good intentions?"

"Heavenly Dao Patron's response is not good..." Liu Mengli still looked at the corpse of the beast, and said: "These beasts originally lived in this underground lair and lived in peace with humans, but they were forced by humans to do harm. In the end, the whole family will be wiped out, such retribution..."

"Mengli, are you... are you sympathizing with these beasts?"

"Don't you think, Lingsha, that human lives are worthy of pity, but the lives of these beasts are not worthy of pity?" Liu Mengli suddenly looked at Han Lingsha, and said, "Humans invaded their territories without authorization, and took away their lives without authorization." Food, and finally killed them without authorization, what is wrong with them, every life does not exist to be killed without authorization!"

But seeing the tears in Liu Mengli's eyes, and her charming appearance, Han Lingsha felt suffocated, and hurriedly waved her hands and said: "No, no, no, I just want to say... the matter has come to this point, and all the developments are not your own Wish, it’s not something you can control, even if you blame yourself here, you can’t change anything, this is already an established fact, I, I just don’t want to see you so sad..."

"I understand, that's the reason, but I still can't stand it for a while." Liu Mengli nodded, then looked at Han Lingsha slightly apologetically and said, "I'm sorry Lingsha, I shouldn't have said those words to you. "

"No, I'm your friend. You can tell me whatever you want. You feel uncomfortable, and I know it." Han Lingsha shook her head again, and said, "Since the ins and outs of the matter have been clarified, here It's not suitable to stay for a long time, Mengli, let's go back first, as for how to deal with the follow-up, I will leave it to your father."

"Well, let's go back," Liu Mengli responded, and suddenly, she turned her head and looked at the entrance of the cave when she came, "There is movement."

Han Lingsha didn't hear anything, but seeing Liu Mengli's nervous expression, she also quickly pulled out the snow between her eyebrows, and wrapped her arms around Liu Mengli's waist, as if she was ready to fight.

After a while, she heard a faint sound of footsteps coming towards her, she frowned and said, "Could it be that these beasts are still alive?"

"No, the footsteps are very light, and it doesn't seem like a large beast." Liu Mengli gently pressed Han Lingsha's shoulder to signal her to be calm, and said, "Let's wait and see what happens."

"Ah."

After half a cup of tea time, the footsteps were getting closer and closer, and there were more than one or two, and I don't know how many there were. Han Lingsha subconsciously held her breath, and within a moment, she saw a chubby head. , the piglet covered in azure arched in from the hole.

Immediately afterwards, one, two, three, and more than a dozen piglets came in. Han Lingsha was dumbfounded, and even Liu Mengli looked clueless.

I saw that although the little animal was born in the shape of a piglet, it has a round body, short limbs, and soft hair all over its body. Its nose is as sharp as a mountain mouse, and its eyes are round and watery. It is indescribably cute.

Han Lingsha looked at Liu Mengli suspiciously, and said, "Where did this little boar come from?"

"Bad guy!" But seeing that little boar uttered human words, the childish voice was childish, "Bring back Daddy and Mother!!!"
