Chapter 13 Celestial Master Mount
The witch walked in front with a pottery jar, and everyone followed her. Wu Dongfang observed the surrounding terrain and followed helplessly. The north and south sides of the mountain were cliffs and deep valleys, and only this road could be walked.
After walking nervously for hundreds of meters, a roar came from the Dongfang Mountain again. This time the roar lasted longer than the last two times. It was still "um". It was a heavy nasal sound, a deafening roar. Although he didn't know what this animal was, he could hear that the other party was not only not as happy as it was, but was angry.
The witch may have discovered this, but she did not stop.
While following everyone, Wu Dongfang was full of doubts. According to the previous conversations of everyone, it can be seen that this animal has lived here for many years. Such a manic animal will undoubtedly pose a serious threat to the villagers who transported the ore. Even if the witch cannot beat it, she can report to her superiors and ask a more powerful wizard to come and kill it. But she did not do so, but prepared food for the animal. This was clearly a compromise and indulgence to the criminals. This practice would only encourage their arrogance and make them more and more arrogant.
While he was puzzled, he was also ready to defend himself. He had seen a big tree shaking violently in the jungle in the southeast. It was not difficult to see from the huge canopy that it was a giant tree. It was possible to shake it, which means that the animal was a big guy.
There is no road to the north of the mountain peak. The road is around the hillside on the south side. From the west to the south, Wu Dongfang saw the animal. He thought it was another mysterious creature he had never seen before. Unexpectedly, he actually knew this animal. It was a huge black bear. Black bears can often be seen in this jungle. They are about the same size as modern black bears, but the guy in front of him is more than three times larger than his kind.
When he saw the giant bear, Wu Dongfang's idea changed. He didn't want to defend himself. He wanted to escape. What made him make this decision was not just the huge size of the giant bear, but also the look when the giant bear suddenly turned around. Its left eye was blind, with only one right eye. He saw the violent and solemn domineering aura in the giant bear's only remaining right eye.
The giant bear discovered the arrival of everyone, let go of the shaking tree with its sharp claws, and walked westward with four claws.
Seeing the giant bear coming, Wu Dongfang secretly prepared to turn around and speed up, but the giant bear did not pounce on everyone, but walked to a huge bluestone on the north side of the road and stopped, looking at the witch on the south side of the bluestone with his single eye.
The witch knelt down on her knees, put down her copper rod, and raised the pottery jar with both hands over her head. At the same time, everyone behind her also knelt down.
Wu Dongfang was stunned. He didn't expect that the witch was so bored and it was embarrassing to offer food to the wild beasts. They even knelt down to the giant bear.
"If you want to kneel down, you will kneel down, I won't kneel anyway." Wu Dongfang thought to himself.
The bluestone where the giant bear is located is half the size of a house, with deep claw marks on it. There are a large number of trees falling within dozens of meters around the bluestone. The two of the thickest people couldn't hold hands and hold hands. These trees were all caught by the giant bear, and each tree had claw marks left. In addition, it is not difficult to see based on the rotten conditions of the fallen trees that this giant bear has lived here for a long time.
The giant bear was panting and glaring at the witch. Wu Dongfang had no good impression of this witch. When he saw that she was kneeling down to the beast without any integrity, he couldn't help but have a dark thought in his heart, wishing that she was slapped to death by the giant bear with a claw.
Unfortunately, he failed to fulfill his wish. The giant bear did not kill the witch. After calming down his rapid breathing, he slowly stretched out his forelegant palms and took the pottery jar that the witch raised above his head. He poured the things in the pottery jar on the bluestone with his backhand. When the liquid suspected of honey inside dried up, he returned the jar to the witch.
Wu Dongfang was stunned when he saw it. He had seen many robberies on the road, and for the first time he saw the money and the bag left behind.
The witch took the pottery jar, stood up straight, waved to the people behind her, and the group walked forward slowly and quietly.
Wu Dongfang followed carefully. As soon as the distance was approaching, he noticed that the giant bear's lips had turned white, which meant that it was already very old.
The giant bear is licking the honey on the bluestone at this time. Similar transactions may have been conducted many times before. The location of the honey has been licked out of a shallow pit the size of a face plate.
Wu Dongfang walked past it, and the giant bear ignored him.
"Yeah, yeah, yeah~" Just as he felt relieved and wanted to breathe heavily, the rice bucket began to scream.
The giant bear suddenly looked up.
Seeing this, Wu Dongfang held back the slightest breath and slowly turned his head, and saw the giant bear looking directly at him with his single eye.
Wu Dongfang dared not move. At this time, the giant bear was less than three meters away from him, so it was definitely too late to run.
The witch who was walking in front of him found that Wu Dongfang was stopped, hurriedly turned around and ran back, blocked him, and asked in a low voice, "What did you do just now?"
"I did nothing." Wu Dongfang felt ashamed. He didn't expect that the witch who he wished to be beaten to death by the black bear would come back to save him at a critical moment.
At this moment, the rice bucket shouted and exposed his head from his pocket.
When the giant bear heard the chin cries, his eyes suddenly became extremely solemn. He stretched out his front paws and pushed away the witch blocking in front, tilted his head to look at the chin cub that was being slapped by Wu Dongfangdong.
"Don't move." The witch grabbed Wu Dongfang who wanted to escape.
"What does it want to do?" Wu Dongfang asked nervously.
The witch shook her head and signaled him not to speak.
The rice bucket didn't know that the danger was coming, it might have smelled the smell of honey and crawled out with humming.
The giant bear slowly approached, walked to Wu Dongfang, stretched out his front paws and grabbed the cloth pocket on his chest.
Wu Dongfang couldn't bear to see the misfortune of the rice bucket, so he wanted to run away with it. The witch might have guessed what he was thinking, and held his hand tightly, indicating that he should not move rashly.
The giant bear has no claw sheath, its sharp claws are exposed, and its claws are in the shape of a hook and sickle, and it is more than twenty centimeters long. Seeing such sharp claws reaching towards the rice bucket, Wu Dongfang felt heartbroken and secretly tried to break free from the witch's hand. He thought of the scene where the rice bucket crawled out of the stone circle and snuggled up to him to sleep. The rice bucket was a weak person and he had the obligation to protect it.
Just when he was competing with the witch in private, the giant bear had already pinched the rice bucket from his bag and put it on the bluestone where he was.
The rice dumpling did not disappoint his name. He ignored the danger in front of him and found the stall of honey by smelling the smell. He started eating immediately regardless of the slightest moment.
While eating the rice bucket, the giant bear tilted its head and looked at it.
Wu Dongfang nervously observed the giant bear's eyes. If animals get angry, they will first be reflected in their eyes. However, he did not see anger in the giant bear's eyes, but saw nervousness and excitement like humans.
"Is your Pixiu male or female?" the witch asked in a low voice.
"Master, what's wrong?" Wu Dongfang looked at the witch in confusion. He could feel the witch trembling.
After Wu Dongfang finished speaking, the witch shook even more powerfully, and at the same time muttered to himself, "Is it its son? Is it its son?"
"Do you think they look like two men?" Wu Dongfang asked with a frown. Bear and panda are two completely different animals. Fenzhu is definitely the descendants of two pandas. It is impossible for such a black bear wild father.
"Xiyinsa." The witch changed her pronunciation.
This time Wu Dongfang understood that the pronunciations of descendants and successors in the Xia Dynasty language were very similar. What the witch wanted to express was that Fan Chuan might be the successor of Black Bear.
While the two were talking in a low voice, the giant bear turned around and walked towards them. When they got closer, they grabbed the copper rod from the witch's hand without saying anything.
"What exactly is it? What does it want to do?" Wu Dongfang asked anxiously.
"The Bear King is the mount of the last White Tiger Heavenly Master of our Golden Clan." The wizard looked at the giant bear and Fan Chuan nervously.
"What is the White Tiger Heavenly Master?" Wu Dongfang asked.
"It is the leader of all the wizards, mages and celestial masters of our Jin clan, who leads the Jin clan members together with the Jin king." The wizard was absent-minded, and her attention was on the beast.
As soon as the wizard said, Wu Dongfang immediately understood that the Xia Dynasty was a dynasty with divine power and royal power. The King of Jin was equivalent to the commander of the army, while the White Tiger Tianshi was equivalent to the political commissar of the army and was a spiritual leader.
"You said it was the mount of your last Heavenly Master, what about your Heavenly Master?" Wu Dongfang asked curiously. At this time, the giant bear was holding the copper stick to stop the rice bucket from licking honey.
"It's the White Tiger Heavenly Master, not the Heavenly Master. There are many Heavenly Master, but there is only one White Tiger Heavenly Master." The wizard said casually.
"Where did he go? Why is his mount here?" Wu Dongfang asked again.
"Don't ask now, okay?" The wizard was extremely nervous.
"Can you let go first?" Wu Dongfang said with a frown. The witch held his hand tightly in nervousness, and his nails were almost embedded in his flesh.
The wizard reacted and hurriedly let go of his hand, and at the same time said quickly, "The White Tiger Heavenly Master of our Golden Clan disappeared seventy years ago. After he disappeared, the Bear King came here to wait for its successor, and waited until now."
"How does it know that its successor will appear here? Did the Heavenly Master tell him? Also, how does it know what animal the successor is? How does it determine whether this animal is its successor?" Wu Dongfang asked.
"The Bear King is the mount that God has given to the White Tiger Heavenly Master. They are spiritual and can find and identify successors by themselves, without the need for reminders from the White Tiger Heavenly Master." The witch answered patiently.
"But this little thing is not a bear either," said Wu Dongfang.
"The bears, the pixiu are all bears." said the witch.
"Donkeys and mules are all horses." Wu Dongfang smiled.
"Bite quickly, bite quickly." The witch clenched her fists with her hands. At this time, the giant bear was luring her to bite the copper stick.
"Can you bite off the copper rod and be the bear king?" Wu Dongfang asked.
"The ordinary Pixiu can't bite the copper rod." The witch nodded.
"No need to try it, it's it." Wu Dongfang felt relieved.
The witch turned her head in confusion, and Wu Dongfang pulled out the dagger on his waist and pointed at a gap on the back of the knife, "See, this is what it nibbled..."
