Chapter 139 Artemisia

Misty and rainy, the sun dizzy into a ball of blush on the girl's face.The vast fields are endlessly green, the barren paddy fields are cut into squares, and barefoot men and women with their trousers rolled up are planting rice seedlings with their faces buried.The raindrops brushed through Qi Yin's body carefully, the world seemed to be whispering, listening to it felt inexplicably peaceful.The white deer stood beside him, looking at the hillside in the distance, the yellow jujube forest was blown up and down by the wind, and the small village lay at the foot of the hill, parked in the rain, silent and quiet.

"Why don't you let old Fuxi heal your wounds?" Bai Lu asked.

"Left and right are people who are going to die, why waste his good spiritual power."

Bai Lu was silent for a while, then said: "I thought you forgot our agreement, after you find your stupid brother, everyone will bloom."

Qi Yin did not forget that when he fulfilled his wish, he would send Bai Lu away forever.They are of one mind, and the only way is to destroy the heart.In the past, he agreed without hesitation because his brother was gone, and death was just a matter of closing his eyes to him.Now his brother still has a chance to come back, he wants to live, but he has already made a promise to Bai Lu.Simply let the dog thief accept his love, and his brother will be reborn in the future, with that kid and master cat taking care of him, his brother will not be alone anymore.

"I don't want to go, Lao Bai." Qi Yin raised his neck and looked at the rain curtain full of snow and snow, "It seems that nothing in this world is eternal. When two people are together, either one will go first, or the other will go first .Parents, relatives, lovers and partners, walking together, you turn around, and suddenly you find that they stopped, waved to you, saying that they can't accompany you, and someone else will accompany you on the next journey. Then You keep walking, walking, and finally one day, you also stop, saying goodbye to others like the people who waved goodbye to you before. There is always someone who leaves first, last time it was my brother, this time it was me. "

This time, both of them were silent, and no one said anything.Qi Yin stretched out his hand, and the raindrops passed through his transparent palm.

He didn't want to go, really didn't want to go.However, those who are incomprehensible in this world will not last forever, the bonus will not last forever, and people will live and die.

No more talking, Qi Yin turned to ask, "Where is this? Which one is Wu Yuli?" His eyes lingered among the slaves working in the paddy field, all of them had sad faces, and rolled up their trousers, revealing their dark eyes. Mud legs, there is no one like it.

"This is Crescent Valley, his hometown." Bai Luchang let out a long sigh of relief, "Come with me."

Walking up the hillside, the rain poured on the mud, and the sky was full of snow and snow.The sky is the color of crab shell blue, low and low on the top of the head of the distant mountain.Qi Yin followed the white deer through a white pond, they were actually phantoms, they couldn't touch anything, they couldn't touch anything, but their eyes were full of wet mud, and the soles of their feet seemed to be cool.Entering the Jujube forest, the leaves are blown by the wind and rain, rubbing against each other, and rustling.After walking for a while, Qi Yin gradually saw the shadows of several boys.

Hanging on the tree branch lay a boy wearing a white deer mask, about twelve or thirteen years old, with silver-white hair and plain white clothes.Qi Yin recognized that it was Bailu, and wanted to ask him what he was doing at that time, but turned his face, but saw that Bailu had disappeared.Fuxi said that Bailu was afraid of memories, and although the kid refused to admit it, he was obviously hit in the sore spot.Qi Yin didn't care where the kid went, shrugged, and continued to watch these brats play house.

"I heard that you want to be my master's magic witch?" the white deer on the branch spoke.

"That's right! Great God Bailu, you choose me!" Several children stood in the mud and raised their hands.

"Okay," the white deer jumped down and landed lightly on a big rock, "If you want to be a witch, stand in a row and report your name. Whether it's a human or a demon, each one has a piece of rabbit meat. Follow the young master." , Let you eat delicious food and drink spicy food, more majestic than those donkey heads in the Bashan Temple!"

"Is he really the Great God of White Deer?" A short child asked quietly.

"Who cares if he is, he has meat to eat! We can't eat meat all year round, look, he has a bag!"

The children swallowed, and stood up one after another, standing upright one by one.

Carrying a burlap bag, Bailu distributed rabbit meat one by one, asked for their names, and at the end patted them on the shoulder as encouragement.The four children, one dog demon, one cat demon, and the remaining two mortal cubs, were all asked, but Qi Yin didn't hear Wu Yuli's name.At this time, a half-grown child hurriedly came out of Linzi, about seven or eight years old, with bare feet, a dirty face, and only a pair of black eyes that were watery like clear water.

"Sorry, I'm late!" The child ran into the line and stood at the end.

"Why are you late?" Bailu asked seriously.He is the leader, and his team must have discipline.

The boy pursed his lips and said aggrievedly: "I told my ma'am that the Great God of White Deer has come, but she didn't believe me and said that I lied to her and was disrespectful to the God, so she beat me up and I was late." " He touched his buttocks with a mournful face, "Great God Bailu, you have boundless mana, can you blow away the pain in my buttocks?"

The white deer was obviously embarrassed, and said: "With boundless magic power, I can't blow away your pain." He patted the boy on the shoulder, cleared his throat, "You are a person who wants to become a great witch, how can you be Defeating with such a small injury? Great wizards are not afraid of pain."

The boy froze for a moment, then nodded vigorously, "I'm not afraid of pain!"

"You are wounded for God, I will give you an extra piece of meat." The white deer took out two pieces of meat from the bag and gave them to him, "What's their name?"

The boy straightened his back and stood up like a young pine tree.

"My name is Little Yueya! Praise the holy name and pray for blessings. The witch Little Yueya pays homage to the Great God!" Little Yueya frowned, smiling brightly.The pattering rain outside stopped, and the skylight penetrated the drifting clouds, pierced the gaps between the leaves, and hit the child's palm-sized face, revealing a kind of innocence unique to them at this age.

Bai Lu was shaken by this bright smile, and scratched his head, feeling a little guilty in his heart.In fact, he was just playing with these idiots. It is not so easy to become a witch.The eyes shifted to the dirty bare feet of these children. There were mud spots on the insteps and calves, and some of them were bitten by mosquitoes, leaving deep and shallow gray and black marks.Only slave children are so dirty. Slaves are animals of the gods, and they will never be witches.

But he was bored, rolling all over the moon and sky, he was so bored, he couldn't help but came to the mortal world.Either lure him with divine words, or coax him with jerky, in short, grab a few children to play with him, and send them home after a few days.He often forgets the time, day by day, hhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh.When the children returned home, their faces were confused, and they forgot about running and playing with the gods. The adults shook them and cried, thinking that they had been captured by monsters.Later, this matter somehow spread to the human world, and there were rumors that the white deer ate the hearts and livers of young children.

Bailu's new team was formed, four children carried the shoulder pads, Bailu sat lazily on it, a child carried a round shovel, opened the way with a shovel, and several of them swaggered onto the ridge.The slaves stopped their irons and irons, put their hands on the wooden handles and rested their chins to watch them.

"Which family is that white-haired boy from? Why haven't I seen it?" someone asked.

"Is it from the Deer Demon Village next door? Look how white his robe is, and he still wears small leather boots. He is a child of the master's family, right?"

"Little Yueya, don't be crazy, remember to go home and eat!" A woman in the next door shouted loudly.

"Oh! I got it!" Little Yueya responded by turning her head, carrying the bamboo pole on her shoulders, holding her breath and walking forward.The overseer's Tian Jian came, flicked his whip and slapped it in the air, and everyone fell silent for a moment, and bent their shoulders deeply to plant the rice seedlings.

A group of children is not counted as Bailu, there are five in total.If the dog demon and the cat demon were removed, Wu Yuli would definitely be among the remaining three mortal cubs.Qi Yin came up to them and watched for a long while. They were all stupid, and this one named Little Crescent Moon was the worst.At this time, Bailu was a real kidnapper, and a god made this appearance, no wonder Baiyu hated him.

Having said that, the name Little Crescent Moon is so familiar, Qi Yin always feels as if he has heard it somewhere.

They went straight to a magic circle, and Bailu led a few followers into the magic circle, and all of a sudden, everyone came to a cave.These slave children, who had never seen such a form-changing spell, stared wide-eyed and touched the blue-black rocks in the cave curiously.Bailu coughed and motioned everyone to look at him.

"Do you know where this is?" Bailu asked.

The children shook their heads.

Bailu said: "Stupid, this is the back mountain of Bashan Mountain. If you can go to the ground and walk in the opposite direction of the sun, you will be able to see the moon mirror of the Bashan Temple in less than a day."

"You lied, I don't believe it. We are clearly in the Crescent Valley, how could we go to Bashan all of a sudden?" A child retorted.

"I am a god, and I can go wherever I want! Believe it or not." Bailu snorted, "After the gods and witches of the Bashan Temple died, their bodies were buried here. The gods and witches are different from you. You are the same as yours." When the parents died, they were buried in a pit and wrapped in a straw mat. They had to be covered with gold and silver, and their hands were covered with gems before they were buried. If you have the courage, come with me, and take their treasures home, so that you can My father and maid live a good life. If you don’t have the guts, go home by yourself and be a turtle.”

"It's wrong to dig other people's graves..." Little Crescent Moon whispered.

"Then you can stay here." Bailu said angrily.He turned his head and walked in. The other children looked at each other in blank dismay, and finally followed.Little Yueya stood alone for a while, surrounded by closed stone caves, with a few moldy green bronze lamps embedded in the walls, his shadow stretched long on the ground, like a ghost.Bailu said that they could go home, but he didn't leave the magic circle to go back at all.Little Crescent Moon flattened her mouth, wanting to cry.A gust of wind came from somewhere, caressing the back of his neck.He shivered and hurriedly followed.

Walking along the pitted rock road, Bai Lu said that the road was dug by the slaves who repaired the tomb.What he didn't say was that those slaves were all eventually stuffed under this road, as a foundation of flesh and blood.Qi Yin followed behind them, thinking that the children of the ancient times were really brave, and Bai Lu dared to follow in if he said something casually.The white deer led them to dig the hole, and it turned out that the round shovel was used here.At first, no one was willing to move, but Bai Lu said that whoever dug faster would get the meat, so everyone started to move.Little Yueya was the youngest and weak, so he was not allowed to dig, but Bailu asked him to beat his back.

A thick layer of white plaster was dug away, and they dug a cave for one person to pass through.The tomb they entered from the south had a brick-topped stone tomb inside, and a tomb door facing the entrance.It was only when I entered that I found that the sarcophagi were all empty, and the coffin boards had been opened long ago, not even the corpse.Bai Lu was stunned for a moment, looked up and down, and asked, "Why are they all empty?"

Several children were half dead from exhaustion, lying on the ground panting.The dog demon said resentfully: "I know you are talking nonsense, what a treasure, you don't even have a ghost. I won't play with you anymore, I want to go home."

"Someone came here and stole our treasure!" Bailu kicked the coffin angrily, "Who is so bold to touch my things!"

"But it's okay to steal the baby, why steal the corpse?" Little Yueyue stood on tiptoe and poked her head into the coffin.

"My lady said that some gods and witches would stuff jade beads into their ears and butt holes after they died. Anyway, as long as there is a hole, you have to stuff it with gold, silver and jade. Maybe those thieves don't want to waste it. Just carry the whole person away." A child said.

Everyone sighed, and a few children were not reconciled, and touched the ground inch by inch, hoping to pick up some jade beads that fell from the witch.The older children all know that when jade beads are sold in the demon market, they can be exchanged for a lot of dried rice, noodles, and dried meat, especially when they are sold from the Bashan Temple, the price can double.As he was touching it, the dog demon's ears moved, his face suddenly turned pale, and he said, "Did you hear any sound?"

Everyone shook their heads, only the cat demon also narrowed his eyes, "Did you hear footsteps?"

Where are the footsteps coming from this ghostly place?Everyone looked at each other, counted the number of people, there were many, it could not be their own people.Put your ear to the ground and listen, Little Crescent Moon also heard the sound of footsteps, thump, thud, like a drum beating, more and more urgent, getting closer, like many big feet running here.

Looking back at those empty sarcophagi, little Yueya suddenly understood, and said with a white face: "It's them, it's the God Witch master. No one stole the treasure here, it's the God Witch master who crawled out of the coffin by himself, and now he's back! "

The resurrected witch corpse, everyone froze.Even the living witches would kill them if they saw their gang of slaves trespassing on the tomb.But Little Yueya was the calmest, saying: "Don't be afraid, God Bailu will protect us!"

"That's right!" Bailu announced loudly, "Everyone listen to me, hold the door first."

He went to drag those sarcophagi, the coffins were too heavy, and he couldn't move them after gritted his teeth for a long time.Bailu called them over to help, and Little Crescent Moon and the big guy pushed the sarcophagus with their shoulders.The shoulders were chafed, and the sarcophagus remained motionless.Turning his head to look, he saw footsteps rumbling outside the stone gate.This time, you don't need to stick to the ground to listen, just standing in the tomb, you can feel the power of those footsteps shaking the ground.

The white deer ran over to hold the door, a pair of blue and white corpse hands brushed the crack of the door and stretched in, the jet-black nails were as sharp as blades.The dead hand grabbed his shoulder and dragged him out.Without even a scream, Bailu was dragged out like a paper man, and disappeared instantly.Candles flickered in the tomb, illuminating everyone's livid faces.

Little Yueya cried out to God and wanted to run out.The dog demon hugged him, and yelled violently, "Don't go! You idiot, you really think he is some kind of great god, you have been deceived, he is just a young master who doesn't worry about food and clothing. How could the great god hit him? But his witch! Besides, even if the Great God White Deer is really there, he will not bless us slave children!"

Several other children hurriedly climbed out of the hole they had just dug, calling them to run.The dog demon dragged little Yueya to crawl out, and little Yueya crawled a little way while crying, looking back, the entrance of the cave was dark, and even the ever-burning lamp didn't know when it was turned off.What will happen to the boy with white hair?Will it die?Little Yueya cried and said, "But he gave us little jerky and said we could be witches."

The dog demon scolded: "A slave can't be a witch, he has been lying to us from the very beginning! Play with him for the sake of jerky, who will lose his life for him!"

Little Yueya couldn't help turning her head, gritted her teeth, and said, "You go first, call the lady and the others to save us!"

With that said, he turned his head and ran back to the hole, and crawled in short.

It was dark inside, and nothing could be seen clearly.There was a stench of corruption in the air, which I hadn't smelled before.It was very quiet, there was no sound, the white-haired boy completely lost his voice, and he didn't know what was going on.Little Yueya had just cried, with tears all over his face, he didn't dare to sniff, the place is so quiet, even the sound of sniffing seemed abrupt.He remembered that the door of the tomb was on the opposite side of the cave, separated by two sarcophagi.He squatted down and crawled forward, touching the ground with his hands.

Climbing across a sarcophagus, he kept silently saying "Little Crescent Moon" don't be afraid that Little Crescent Moon can't cry.But the tears were still dripping down, he was so scared, he missed his lady so much.Suddenly touching a pair of feet with her hand, Little Crescent Moon was taken aback for a moment, and then she was overjoyed. Is it the elder brother with white hair?He is back.He moved up the calf of the person in front of him, and called him in a low voice, "Are you injured?"

The people in front of him ignored him, and Xiao Yueya gradually felt something was wrong.The touch under his hands is cold and stiff, like hard wax.He touched up, and the height was wrong, this man was much taller than the white-haired boy.He touched a string of cold jade beads, something in his heart collapsed silently, his whole body was cold.

This person is not a white deer, but a witch corpse.

He slowly let go of his hands, rubbing his buttocks and moving back a little bit.His whole body seemed to be immersed in cold water, and his fingers and toes could not feel the temperature.There was a pause on her back, and when she bumped into another stiff corpse, Little Crescent Moon was stunned.Qi Yin stood on the side, shaking his head for the poor child.He couldn't see, but Qi Yin had good eyesight and could see clearly.Around the doll, six bluish-white witch corpses surrounded him, looking down at him.

The ever-burning lamp flicked on, and under the turquoise light, six stiff and cold faces suddenly appeared in front of Little Yueya.

Little Yueya choked for breath, kicked her legs, and passed out.

He woke up dizzy, the room was full of green lights, a semi-circular vault, and the black-blue stone slabs of the tomb.He turned his face and saw a big, thin, white face.He screamed and punched it.Bailu was caught off guard and was hit straight.He bent over and covered his face, and said angrily, "What are you doing!"

Little Yueya was stunned for a while, then said: "Great God Bailu..."

Looking over Bailu's shoulders, he saw the six straight witch corpses standing facing the wall, huddled together as if facing a wall.With trembling hands, Little Crescent Moon pointed at those witch corpses. Bai Lu looked back and said, "Don't be afraid, it's just a few criminals." He smiled viciously, "I know you are timid, there are only six criminals." That's all, scare the shit out of you."

Little Yueya was stunned for a while, understood something, and said with a mournful face, "You arranged all of these?"

"Nonsense, I've been to this place thousands of times, and I know how many worms there are. How about it, isn't it fun? I brought a few wolf demon cubs from Daxue Mountain over last time, and there are two I was so scared that I peed my crotch. It’s still a snow wolf, even worse than you mortals.”

Little Crescent Moon sat there wiping away tears, Bai Lu was still complacent, but after a while he realized that the child was silent, and the teardrops were crackling like a broken thread.

"Why are you crying? Isn't this all right? There is no missing arm or broken leg." Bai Lu said, lowering his head and touching his right ankle.In fact, he accidentally scratched his ankle just now when the criminals took him out, and the blood dripped into the mud, and he didn't know if it would have any effect.The blood of the gods should not be dripped indiscriminately. If a monster drinks it, it will become a monster, and if a monster drinks it, it will become a big monster, and troubles will easily occur.He looked carefully, there was nothing but weeds and vines around, so nothing should happen.

Little Yueya still had a sullen little face, ignoring people like a gourd.

Bailu scratched his head, became embarrassed, and said without words: "Why didn't you go with them just now? Do you believe that I am a god?"

Little Crescent Moon picked up a branch and wrote on the ground: I originally believed, but you bullied me, so I won’t believe it.

He wrote Jin wrong book, although he made several mistakes, Bai Lu was still surprised.Slaves are generally not good at calligraphy, but this kid can write.

"Are you still making mistakes?" Bai Lu said.

"I learned it secretly." Xiao Yueya wrote.

"Why don't you speak, writing is so troublesome." Bai Lu asked.

Little Crescent Moon bulged her cheeks, breathing like a puffer fish.He wrote stroke by stroke:

Because of Little Crescent, no, think, reason, you!
