I plant love Gu for Xianjun

The rusty tip of the knife had reached his throat, but Ah-Ting couldn't move.

He had a high fever and was roughly dragged into his arms.The bruises and blood scabs had smeared him into an ugly clay doll, unable to see his original appearance.

And in a corner not far away, there are more than 20 children of his age.Thin, dirty, and ragged, he looked like a kid from a mass grave, whimpering high and low.

The only one who didn't cry was the boy who stood at the front, trying to protect his companions.He was half a head taller than Ah Zing, wearing elegant brocade robes, but dirty and tattered, like a prince in trouble.

"Don't touch A-Ting! I taught the Rotten Water Curse, if you want to kill me, kill me!"

He roared loudly, but in the ears of the robbers, it was just the barking of a puppy.

A dark and strong man walked out of the gangsters.He stood beside Ah Zing, but stared at the young man in brocade.

The boy was trembling nervously, but he didn't look away.But in the eyes of the man, his courage turned into a kind of provocation.

There was a flash of cold light, followed by a hoarse scream—the dagger was inserted into Ah Ding's arm, and the blood fell on the withered grass on the ground, tick-tock.

Amidst the cries of the little ghosts, the man pinched Ah Ding's neck and lifted it up, threatening the young man in brocade clothes: "If you dare to stare at me again, I will cut off this kid's eyeballs, and then cut off the flesh piece by piece and burn it!" Drink and eat!"

There is still the smell of meat in the hall, and the young man in brocade clothes knows that this is definitely not a lie.

"Why are you still standing there? You want him to die?!" The man was aggressive.

Filled with resentment and helplessness, the young man lowered his head, and pressed his eyes on the blood-stained hay beside A-Ding's feet.At this moment, he realized that his eyes were already filled with tears.

A dull voice came from not far away: "Enough, barbarian, give that kid a good time."

Knowing that he was approaching a catastrophe, the exhausted Ah Ding only twitched and completely resigned to his fate, neither crying nor making a sound.

He just sent a farewell wry smile to the young man in brocade clothes.

But the boy lowered his head to protect him.

Manzi's dagger was pointed at Ah Ding's throat again.

As long as it is poked lightly, Ah-Ting will squirt a lot of blood like a domestic animal and fall to the ground to die.

But the barbarian stopped.

Not only him, but the other gangsters were also suddenly quiet.

It is the late night of the full moon, here is the ancient mountains and forests of Nanzhao.There was no one inhabited for ten miles around, only the ruined temple where they stayed, and the backyard was still full of human bones.

There was obviously no wind, but the grass, shrubs, and trees outside were all shaking.It seems to be stirred by the hands of giant spirits; it seems that all the bones in the backyard have come to life, and they want to enter the temple to pay homage.

At the command of the leader, all the torches were extinguished.Even the group of little ghosts didn't dare to cry, the older children hugged the younger children in their arms and comforted them silently.

The hall was dark and dead silent, and everyone was nervous with a hint of curiosity, but no one dared to go to the door and pry into the truth through the dilapidated partition door.

But someone still seized the opportunity and completed a major event related to life.

In the darkness came the grunt of the barbarian, as if something had fallen onto the haystack.

Immediately afterwards, a series of stumbling footsteps sounded in the hall.

A thin body crashed into the arms of the young man in brocade clothes.

"Quick... quickly hide!" It was Ah-Ting's voice.

The young man in brocade clothes moved in response to the sound, but kicked open the palace door first.

With the sound of rotten wood breaking, moonlight pierced through the window.I saw a few starry green will-o'-the-wisps shining in the courtyard, blurry and treacherous.

The boy in brocade clothes hurriedly reminded the other children in the corner: "Don't move around!"

As soon as the words were finished, Manzi suddenly rushed over with strides, still clutching the bloody dagger tightly in his hand.

But he didn't catch the young man in brocade clothes and Ah Ding, but froze under the moonlight.

The moonlight illuminated his terrified expression.

The young man in brocade was not curious about what happened to Manzi.He helped A-Ting up and hid under the altar.

Ah Ting was exhausted, leaning on the young man's shoulder and panting heavily.The boy tore off his sleeves to bandage him, looking around vigilantly.

At some point, the ferocious savage disappeared, as if turning into mist out of thin air.And the rest of the twenty or so gangsters were also motionless like stone statues.

Following their uniform line of sight, there are two turquoise will-o'-the-wisps floating outside the gate of the main hall, and the bright moonlight reveals its true face——

It's a snake, a huge and terrifying snake!

The young man took a deep breath, and suddenly regretted it.

He originally thought that kicking the door open could not only divert the robbers' attention, but also take advantage of the chaos to create a chance to escape.After all, if we do nothing, what awaits Ah-Ting and everyone else will be torture and death.

But now, he couldn't tell which ending would be more tragic.

The moonlight disappeared because the giant snake was swimming in through the broken door, its thick body blocking all the gaps.

It didn't seem to notice the existence of the children, and swam straight to the group of petrified bandits.The originally dead and silent hall was filled with the sound of friction between snake scales and dry grass on the ground.

The half-comatose Ah Zing groaned softly.The boy covered his mouth, and couldn't help but envy him for not having to see this horrifying scene——

The giant snake swallowed a snake letter as thick as a child's arm, swam close to a bandit, bit the head in one bite, and swung it from side to side.

The soft sound of bones breaking was creepy.After a while, the man disappeared in the mouth of the snake, only to vaguely see a foreign object protruding up and down from the neck of the snake, slowly moving into the abdomen.

This is just the beginning of a feast.

More giant snakes swam into the hall.The gangsters who couldn't resist were torn and entangled, with the sound of bones breaking and blood splattering one after another...

If you don't run away, you just sit and wait!

Astonished, the young man in brocade clothes understood that this might be the last chance to get out of trouble.He carried Ah Zing on his back, climbed out of the altar, and joined other children.

He has already thought of a new way to save himself - the big Buddha in the center of the hall is hollow, and there is a secret door behind it, barely enough room for twenty children.

Snake nature hides day and night, maybe there is still a glimmer of life in hiding until dawn!

The killing feast in the hall is still going on.In the corner covered by dry grass and sundries, children are tiptoeing towards the opening behind the Buddha statue.

The boy originally wanted to send Ah-Ting in first, but he was worried that he would be trampled on in the dark, so he insisted on carrying him on his back.

Seeing that all the children had entered the Buddha statue, it was finally the turn of the boy and Ah-Ding.But the killing in front of the hall seemed to be over.

Dead silence, terrified dead silence.

The entrance to the Buddha statue is about two or two feet above the ground, and the boy asked the other children to pull Ah-Ting into the cave first.However, just as he was about to get into the hole, the terrifying sound of scales rubbing against the ground reappeared.

A pair of green snake eyes descended from the pillar beside the Buddha statue.

The moment the four eyes met, the boy's body froze, and he couldn't make a sound.

He saw a huge snake hanging down from a height.

The smell of blood and rancidity rushed towards him, and the young man couldn't even hold his breath, he could only watch the thick, long and forked snake letter protruding on his body.

One click, another click.It was licking the blood of Ah Ding on his robe.

At this moment, the god of death is only a few inches away from him.

However, at the next moment, a pair of small hands suddenly stretched out from behind the boy, dragging him into the hole abruptly!

After a while of dizziness, when the young man came back to his senses, he was already in pitch darkness.

The entrance to the Buddha statue has completely disappeared, and it must have been quickly blocked.At this moment, he is surrounded by a large group of children, and the stuffy air smells of moldy wood and pungent paulownia lacquer.

But what he cared most about was the smell of blood, and the anxious questioning voice from behind him.

"Xiaohua...cough cough...Are you okay?" Sure enough, the person who gave him a hand at the critical moment was none other than Ah-Ding.

At the same time that A-Zheng asked anxiously, the boy in brocade clothes named "Xiaohua" was able to move again.

He turned sideways immediately, making room for the arm that was being held down by him.

"I'm fine, I'm fine." He groped for A-Ding to lean on his shoulder, comforting him in a low voice: "We'll all be fine..."

Before the words were finished, a muffled sound suddenly burst out in the darkness——

"Bang!!"

The snake is banging on the door!

"...Hurry up! Block it hard!!"

Xiaohua gave an order, and many pairs of small hands reached the direction of the cave door at the same time.Those who couldn't touch the door also desperately pressed against the backs of their companions in the front row, wishing they could press them directly against the door panel.

The muffled sound of "bang bang" continued for a few more times.Fortunately, the entrance of the cave is really narrow and cannot allow more than two giant snakes to attack at the same time.

After about seven or eight strokes, they changed tactics.

"Snake..." A short boy clinging tightly to Ah Ding pointed to the top of his head: "Okay, it seems...it climbed up..."

Not only him, everyone heard it.

The creepy "rustling" sound climbed up to the top of their heads and entangled on the surface of the Buddha!

The outer shell of the Buddha is only composed of several layers of ramie and dried lacquer.And the higher you go, the thinner it becomes.

"Kara, Kara"

It was the sound of dry, brittle ramie and dry paint being crushed by the snake, accompanied by bursts of dust and debris.

More than 20 children huddled together in the dark.The air is pungent, cloudy, and stuffy, making people dizzy.

They have overdrawn their physical strength and quick wits beyond their age, and instead began to hope that their parents could descend from the sky and save them from hell.

But the vast majority of them were pushed into this hell by their families.

The crackling sound of destruction became louder and louder, and the entire Buddha was trembling.

Finally, with a loud noise, the Buddha's head was crushed into powder.

Among the debris under the rain, the children saw a few pairs of huge bright green eyes, looking down from above.

Does Death also have such eyes?

They are too young to want to know the answers.

A few whistles sounded suddenly in the distance, piercing the night like a silver arrow turned into moonlight.

The group of snakes immediately turned to the same direction, and then disappeared one after another from the children's terrified sight.

The surroundings gradually returned to silence, but the children were still huddled together inside the broken Buddha statue, looking for a ridiculous sense of security.

Until someone raves: "Hot...so hot..."

Xiao Hua stretched out her hand, and touched Ah Ding's scalding forehead.

Must cool down asap.

He leaned on the inner wall of the Buddha statue and listened for a while, and after confirming that there was no movement, he opened the cave door forcefully.

The slightly cool air convection comes in, which is refreshing.

Instructing the others not to follow suit, Xiao Hua dragged A-Zing out of the cave by himself and let him lean against the foot of the big Buddha, while he quickly walked around to the front of the Buddha statue.

The moonlight passed through the open temple door, illuminating the stumps, blood and mess all over the ground.

Xiaohua shivered a few times.He quickly walked around the blood pool hell and found a pile of bags piled in the corner.

He rummaged quickly, first took out a buckskin water bag, and then took out a suet jade pendant.

He carefully put the jade pendant away, picked up the water bag and prepared to feed A-Ding.But when he turned around, he found a person standing behind him.

Against the moonlight, he couldn't see the man's face clearly, he only thought that he should be a grown man, and his clothing outline didn't look like a person from the Central Plains.

Xiaohua immediately took a step back, squatted down, and groped for something that could defend himself in the pile of blood.

At this time, the man spoke, but it was a Nanzhao language.

The tone was quite gentle, but the young man didn't dare to take it lightly.

"Who are you?" He took the initiative to ask, "What are you going to do!"

The man paused for a moment, and then changed to a standard Central Plains accent when he spoke again.

"I am not a bad guy."

He snapped his fingers with a "snap", a pinch of turquoise will-o'-the-wisp sprang from his palm, revealing his true face.

He is a dark-skinned young man of different races, handsome and smiling.

"Have you ever heard of the Five Immortals Sect? We are the guardians of the sacred mountain, and also the protectors of the business travellers. My name is Xuantong, and I am the guardian of the Immortal Sect. Don't be afraid, you are all safe."

------

While talking, several men and women of different races came one after another, all dressed in brocade clothes with a black background, and some of them wore silver ornaments, making pleasant voiceless voices.

They carried more than 20 children out of the Buddha statue and sent them to the spacious and airy backyard.

There is a release pond in the southwest corner of the backyard. Even though there is no wind, there is a constant splashing sound in the pond.

Xiaohua followed the prestige and saw those big snakes entangled and rolling in the water, and the blood-stained scales soon became shiny again.

Not only him, but other children also saw this scene and screamed in shock.Individuals who still have some strength are struggling desperately and want to escape.

Seeing this, several disciples of the Five Immortals blew their whistles at the same time.I saw the big snake obediently swam up to the other side of the pond, and disappeared into the bushes after a few strokes.

Xuantong reassured: "These big snakes are called Yeyoushen, and they are spirit beasts raised by the Immortal Cult. They will never eat children. We have let them go far away, don't be afraid."

The one who was hugged by him was the short boy who was next to Ah-Ding just now, and asked while sobbing: "You... how do you know that it doesn't eat children?"

"Because children are not bad people. When looking at people, Ye Youshen can read the hearts of human beings. Then eat the bad people and keep the good people."

"Really?" The child was skeptical: "But when we were hiding in the Buddha statue, those snakes not only slammed into the door desperately, but also gave the Buddha statue to..."

"That's saving your lives!" A gorgeous woman with a strong accent took the boy over for a simple check.

"You have so many dolls, shrunk into such a narrow place, and blocked the door tightly. Don't you need to breathe? If it wasn't for the Night Tour God to help you twist off the Buddha's head, you would have been suffocated to death inside!"

During the conversation, more than 20 children were checked.Although everyone is pale and thin, fortunately there is no danger of life.

Only A-Ting had a high fever and was still in a coma.The woman followed the blood and found the knife wound on his arm, and she was so angry that she cursed.

However, she was not ambiguous at all, and quickly cleaned the wound and re-bandaged it properly.

Other believers brought food and clean water.After wolfing down the food, the children's emotions stabilized a little.Xuan Tong expressed that he would bring them back to the Five Immortals Sect, and might live there for a period of time, to find out their origins before making specific plans.

The young man in brocade clothes named Xiaohua suddenly became anxious.

"I don't want to go to the Five Immortals, I want to leave immediately!"

He eagerly grabbed Xuantong's clothes corner, and pointed his other hand to the east.

"I have something urgent to go back to Liuquan City... I beg you, can you help me?!"

Xuantong exchanged a puzzled look with his companion, then leaned over and looked at Xiaohua.

"What's the matter with you, speak slowly."

Xiaohua's eyes seemed to hesitate: "I was fostered in other places when I was a child. I heard that my relatives were seriously ill a few days ago. When...the time was running out, I sneaked out. I planned to rush back home as soon as possible, but I didn't expect I was caught by these gangsters halfway. It has been three days now, if I don't go back... If I don't go back..."

He spoke excitedly, even choked up.

Xuantong held onto his shoulders, feeling a bit embarrassed: "Liuquan City is far away in Dayan, even if you travel day and night, it will take nearly two days. With your current situation, I'm afraid you can't bear it."

"No! I can bear it! If you don't help me, I'll go by myself! No matter how long it takes, even if it's a climb, I will definitely climb back!" Xiaohua kept yelling, her eyes full of intertwined despair and hope .So complicated and so stubborn, it seems that if you miss these few days, it will be an irreparable regret for a lifetime.

Xuan Tong was obviously moved with compassion, and turned to look at his companion.

"Then I will leave the rest to you. I will take this child to Liuquan."

------

Twenty children followed the Five Immortals and disappeared into the depths of the valley covered by vegetation.

The wounded and comatose A-Ting was the first to be taken away. Xiaohua wanted to say goodbye to him, only to realize that he should be lying in the hospital hut of the Five Immortals Sect at this moment.

The next best thing to do is, the boy took out something from his bosom, and solemnly handed it to the little boy who had been hugged by Xuan Tong.

"Ah Qing, listen up. Give this to Ah Tiao, and if you have anything to do in the future, you can take it to Liuquan City to find me, the biggest mansion in the city, do you remember my name?"

Ah Qing nodded: "Remember, Li Chonghua."

"Shh, keep your voice down." Li Chonghua gently pressed his head: "Although my master said that the Five Immortals Sect is kind, but they are hostile to Yuncang Peak, which my uncle controls, don't let them know my identity. Otherwise, I'm afraid there will be trouble."

Although she didn't quite understand the causal connection, Ah Qing took it to heart when she heard that her life might be in danger.

Ah Qing was also taken away soon, while Xuan Tong led the horses.

It was a strong dark horse. Although it was impossible to travel thousands of miles a day like the magic weapon of the fairy family, as long as it traveled day and night, it should be able to return to Liuquan soon.

Everything is ready.Before leaving, Li Chonghua looked back at the mysterious mountain forest that had given him horror and hope for the last time.

The night is still dense, and the overlapping leaves are intertwined, forming a complicated and large net.All evil, goodwill and chaos are caught in the net.

But in the distance to the east, the sky was dimly brightened.
