Jia Mo

He ran desperately into the depths of the toon tree forest, and when he turned his head, he saw the dome moving above the dense branches and leaves as if covered by a layer of black mist.The screams of the gods and witches resounded from all over the forest, faintly transmitted along the gaps in the leaves, making people frightened.They dare not use their swords, for fear of bumping head-on with moths.The toon tree has luxuriant branches and leaves, and the roots of the tree are spreading and twisted together, and there is a little hiding place under the trunk.

There were screams in front of him, and another witch was killed.Once a moth enters the body, it will turn into a biting witch corpse in a short while.They immediately turned around, and after running for half an hour, Qi Yin couldn't move at all, lying on the ground panting.Fu Lan climbed up the tree and looked out. There was a swamp in the north, and the surrounding area was quiet and quiet, with no one, and there was no danger for the time being.Fu Lan climbed down and said: "Take a rest for half a stick of incense, we must keep moving."

Qi Yin said: "No, we can't keep running like this! We will be exhausted. I bet this group of moths are flying around here and buzzing non-stop. They must want to let those witches run around, run When they get tired, they come down and eat people up. These moths are definitely going to be smart!"

"The smart one is the old monster, he is manipulating these moths!" the black cat said.

"We have to find a place to hide," Qi Yin said, "Do you remember the wizards we met during the day? It took almost noon to walk from the temple to the place where they were killed. They ran so far and still died , it’s useless to run outside, just hide.”

"It's useless to hide." Fu Lan shook her head lightly.

Qi Yin was taken aback for a moment, not understanding why.The black cat sighed, and said, "Because the gods and witches are extinct, Xiao Yin."

With a thump in his heart, Qi Yin immediately understood.The gods and witches of the Bashan Temple are their ancestors, and they are one of a hundred ancestors. Could it be that they are more stupid than him?Fei Lian slaughtered the temple, whether it was hiding or running away, they must have tried all ways to survive, but they still disappeared without a trace, and none of them escaped.

"Maybe we can go back to the temple." The black cat had a flash of inspiration, "The most dangerous place is the safest place, the witch corpses are all out chasing the witches, the temple must be empty now, just like when we first came here .”

Qi Yin immediately rejected the proposal, "The old monster is still there, stay with him, I'd rather stay with the moth."

"The most dangerous place is the safest place?" Fu Lan asked.

"It's just a cliché," Qi Yin rubbed his face, "Don't believe it, bro."

"There is a very dangerous place, maybe we can go to it." Fu Lan said.

"Where?" asked the black cat.

"Qianqiu Dachun."

"Qianqiu big toon?" Qi Yin was full of doubts, "Tree? It sounds so arrogant. After living for so long, it should be the ancestor in the tree. How dangerous is it? Could it be that it eats people?"

"I don't know if I can eat it or not," said the black cat. "Neither I nor I have ever seen a live one. It has been completely petrified outside the moon mirror. It is the oldest toon tree in Bashan. It is said that it has lived for thousands of years. It is as high as a pagoda, and the ground is full of its roots in a radius of ten miles. It is recorded in the ancient books of the temple that the White Deer God was playing and was accidentally cut by a stone on the heel of his hoof. Seep into the roots of the tree, and the big toon will have aura."

"Shouldn't that be a sacred tree?" Qi Yinnahan said, "Will the wish work? Let's go and make a wish, wishing that the old monster would find a pretty wife and have a litter of babies sooner, and give up the idea of ​​resurrecting the white deer. "

"Don't interrupt," the black cat patted his head with its paws, "We have found many bones around it, both human and demon. These bones all appeared near the roots of its tree without exception. The old man guessed it was a witch You worshiped the big toon as a sacred tree, and sacrificed a lot of monsters and animals to it. But your brother doesn't think so."

"The bones are too loose." Fu Lan squatted on the ground to pick mushrooms. "Usually, priests have a designated place to sacrifice live animals. But their bones are everywhere, which is very strange. It's like..."

"Once you get close to Dachun, you will die." Qi Yin murmured.

"Do you want to go?" Fu Lan asked, "It may still be alive now."

"I'm afraid it's not our turn to make a decision." As soon as the black cat finished speaking, there was another whispering voice not far away. A large leaf was shaken and rustling, mixed with the whispering in the sky, which made people's hearts tremble. Youyou was cold.The shrill screams of countless witches pierced the night sky. It sounded like a group of witches who were hiding were discovered by the demon moths.

"Brother, lead the way!" Qi Yin stood up.

Fu Lan put away a bag of small mushrooms in confusion, "I don't know the way."

Qi Yin was stunned, "Isn't this the place where you grew up?"

"You let him lead the way, and he will lead you into the ditch!" The black cat patted him on the head, "Every time a fool goes into the woods, he has to turn around for three or five days before coming out. At first, the old man thought he was hunting for treasure in it, but later I know this fellow has lost his way and turned a side road! Come on, follow the old man. Although it is very different from the forest outside, the terrain is basically similar, and the old man knows the way!" The black cat's eyes glowed like will-o'-the-wisps, carefully discerning Bian Daoer, "Go north!"

Just as he was about to leave, there was the sound of footsteps in front of him, and shadows of human heads appeared in the white moonlight.At first glance, there were so many people that I couldn't count them.Qi Yin froze, and asked in a low voice: "Damn, is this a witch or a corpse?"

"It's not a good thing to meet anyone. Even if you meet a witch, your brother's breath is so similar to that of an old monster. You must be arrested as his son." The black cat broke out in cold sweat.

"Then my aura is very similar to that of Bailu," Qi Yin said, "I'll pretend to be Bailu's son and let them let us go!"

Fulan put the little mushroom into the Qiankun pouch, sealed it up, and said: "Xiaoyin, hold your breath."

Before Qi Yin could ask a question, Fu Lan pushed him into the swamp.The swamp surrounded him from all directions, and his nostrils were filled with a disgusting muddy smell.He sank uncontrollably, and there was a suction under his feet, pulling him down.A nameless fear gripped his heart, Qi Yin panicked and wanted to call Fu Lan, but he opened his mouth, and the sticky mud burrowed into his mouth like a swimming snake.The swamp was over the top, and a heart in the cavity seemed to have sunk into the still water, almost stopping beating.At this moment, a hand grabbed the back of his neck and lifted him up.He scratched around with both hands, and finally grabbed Fulan's waist.

Wiping his face, he finally opened his eyes, only to see that Fulan also looked like a clay figurine.The black cat squatted on top of his head, as long as this guy didn't open his eyes, he seemed invisible in the dark night.Qi Yin wanted to cough, Fu Lan covered his mouth, and swallowed all the mud in his mouth.

"Don't move." Fu Lan whispered.

Being carried by Fulan, he actually stopped sinking.The sound of chaotic footsteps passed by the ears, and the wandering witches had already walked in front of them, their bodies stiffened, like walking corpses.They seemed to know that there was a swamp here, they all bypassed the edge, and also bypassed Qi Yin, Fu Lan and the black cat.Qi Yin's heart almost stopped beating, these witch corpses passed by his head, the silver bracelets on their ankles flashed a cold light, and cut his eyelids like a knife.

He finally knew why Fulan pushed him into the swamp, the swamp can hide his breath, and the mud sticking to his face can hide his figure.The night was dark, and the witch corpses could not find them.The swamp is dangerous, and witch corpses will not enter the swamp.But what this kid did was really irritating, he pushed him in without explaining a word, he thought this kid was going to murder the weak brother.Thinking back carefully, this guy's temperament is like this, even in the temple, he was thrown into the sky like a chicken.

Fortunately, Qi Yin has a good temper, so he should be angry now.He twisted Fulan's waist under his hands, and Fulan froze immediately, staring at him in the mud.

What a shame, Qi Yin glared at him.Fulan's face was covered with mud, her jet-black pupils blinked brightly, and she looked confused.

Suddenly, Qi Yin's ankle tightened, as if a greasy hand grabbed him underneath.Qi Yin was startled, but the witch corpse was still passing by, so he didn't dare to make a sound.When the hand pulled down, Qi Yin sank slowly, and after a while the mud covered his mouth from his chin.

"Something is pulling my leg!" Qi Yin mouthed to Fu Lan.

Fu Lan frowned, and lifted him up vigorously.The already shattered collar was completely torn, and Qi Yin sank a lot in an instant.The sound of clothes being torn suddenly sounded in the silent forest, and all the witch corpses suddenly turned their heads and stared straight at the two people in the center of the swamp.

Qi Yin's heart trembled, from head to toe cold.

All the witch corpses staggered around and stretched out their hands to them.The swamp was surrounded by trembling arms, like stiff twigs, a monstrous horror.Some witch corpses were not afraid of hardships and dangers, and even waded in.As soon as they entered the swamp, they couldn't move, but they still stretched out their hands to reach Qi Yin and Fu Lan.

The black cat shouted in dismay: "Idiot, Xiao Yin, find a way!"

"Something is pulling my leg!" Qi Yin yelled.

Fu Lan drew out the knife, and the bone-chopping knife circled around, like lightning disappearing into the night, the arm of the witch corpse fell into the swamp with a crackling crack.Qi Yin also controlled the sword, and Gui Mo went down to cut off the hand holding the foot.As soon as the foot was loosened, Qi Yin knew that it had been cut off, and immediately breathed a sigh of relief.The next moment, another hand grabbed his ankle.Qi Yin was going crazy, and shouted: "God, there's more than one person here!"

"Is it a ghost that died in the swamp?" the black cat called, "It's like a water ghost, it pulls anyone it sees, and after drowning, it becomes a water ghost just like them!"

"Don't worry about it, fuck it! When I get to the palace of the king of hell, I will bite the king of hell into a water ghost too!" Qi Yin roared, and his murderous heart suddenly arose, and Gui Mo went down again, regardless of 21, messing around in the swamp Stir, let him kill a few ghosts, so that his mother doesn't even recognize him.

There was a sudden shock underneath, as if he was irritated, the swamp trembled, and countless hands underneath grabbed their bodies. The hands were cold and greasy, like a long-soaked corpse, with a bone-chilling chill.

The next moment, the two were dragged down at the same time.The swamp flooded the top of his head in an instant, and his vision was pitch black.In the chaos, Fulan hugged him firmly, in a familiar protective posture, with his head and face buried in his arms, and the back of his head was also protected.Countless hands dragged them into the dark depths, as if going to the other side of the nether world.Small fish gushed out from Fulan's body, forming a blue fish tide.In the turbulent mud flow, only the blue fish are shining.

In the infinite silence, Fulan's little fish whispered to him: "Brother, don't be afraid."

The fear was too much, but my heart was calm.Qi Yin actually started to think wildly, he thought that if they died here, they would be two bones embracing in the future.When he was a child, he heard that a married couple was unearthed in a tomb somewhere, and they hugged each other tightly like this.How many pedestrians have walked on that piece of land, and the carts and horses rolled over the wet ruts. No one knows that they will embrace each other forever in the silent underground.

And this nameless swamp will be the grave of him and Fulan. In the thousands of years to come, before their bones rot into powder, they will solidify here, like iron statues, hugging like this until the swamp Dry up, until the world is old, until the surging years are unstoppable and come to an end.

Brother, Qi Yin closed her eyes and said in her heart, I love you, I am not afraid.
