There are many small villages located here, and at night, each small village still has a bonfire burning.
The sound of burning grass and trees is crackling, and from time to time there will be sparks splashing out.
And near these villages, there is a lush and boundless virgin forest.
In this forest, there are all kinds of ancient and strange trees growing in various shapes and forms, which is dizzying for the eyes.
There are towering trees that reach into the sky, and there are also strange scenes of tree trunks and branches plunging into the soil from mid-air.
Some branches and roots are entangled with other trees, growing thicker and wider, eventually "strangling" that tree alive, forming a unique strangulation phenomenon in the forest.
In addition, there are intertwined ground roots like dragons, as well as thick fallen leaves, moss, colorful flowers and mushrooms.
However, behind these lush trees and plants, there are also a variety of little-known animals, insects, etc.
Red spiders and spotted sandworms lurking in the flowers; two-headed centipedes and one-horned pythons entrenched on the rock walls; human-faced ladybugs and vampire butterflies clinging to tree trunks...
In this place, if you are not careful, you will be poisoned, eaten, and decomposed by these weird creatures...
here it is
——No. 08 Gushen Pass, Gushen Pass.
…
"Crack crack crack."
Several gatekeepers were sitting by the campfire, chatting incessantly.
"I didn't expect that the Heavenly Master actually died. It's such a pity..."
"Yes, Zhuge Ming spent his whole life trying to solve the crisis caused by the mysterious world, but in the end he died young..."
"I remember the master said that after the disaster in Chengdu, it will be a disaster for our Miao territory, right?"
"Um……"
"..."
"I'm not questioning the Heavenly Master, nor am I disrespecting him. I just want to know... can the things calculated in advance by a person who has sacrificed still be valid?"
"I still feel that predicting the future is unreliable. Otherwise, why didn't the Heavenly Master himself avoid his own disaster?"
"Who knows...but Heavenly Master is still righteous."
"Hey... I'm still worried about our Miao territory. Personally, I still hope that the Heavenly Master's prediction will not be too effective."
"Whether it works or not, we can't take it lightly. After all, this is the prediction that the Heavenly Master paid for with his life!" Someone suddenly scolded.
"yes!"
"I know the captain, let's just talk casually..."
At this moment, a patch of grass not far away suddenly moved.
"Rust"
Although the voice was very soft, it still alarmed the gatekeepers.
"alert."
"I gonna go see."
The captain held a short knife and walked cautiously towards the grass.
Others also held their breaths and concentrated, holding their own forbidden objects in their hands, and the strange power roaring in their bodies.
At this moment, a headless snake crawled out of the grass.
Everyone was stunned for a moment, then shocked.
"Headless snake...this, this, isn't this one of the three major Gu insects of the Gu God?!"
The headless snake is not big, only as thick as a thumb.
It climbed onto the captain.
When the latter couldn't move, it got into his mouth.
"Well, well..."
As the snake's tail submerged, the captain made a sharp and harsh sound.
"Have the master of Guan come here quickly, I want to see him."
"..."
"God of Gu, God of Gu!"
"Hurry, go and inform the master! Hurry!!!"
That night, all the gatekeepers at Gu Shen Gate were alarmed.
…
On the other side, Beijing.
The moon is dark and the wind is high, on the top of the building.
"Why don't you want to participate in the training?" The masked Fengshen asked, standing with his hands behind his hands.
Zhu Yao, who was standing behind Fengshen, pursed her lips and hesitated to speak.
"Since Jiang Che asked me to help you, I will naturally help you to the end."
"If you don't want to join the conspiracy, I won't force you to do so. The conspiracy will never force anyone to join."
"It's just that things in Miao territory are more complicated, and the Liao family has other arrangements."
"If you don't want to join the conspiracy, go back to Beijing University. Don't go back to Miao for the time being..."
"No, Fengshen, it's not that I don't want to join the conspiracy." Zhu Yao said.
Fengshen: "Then why did you refuse to participate in the newcomer training?"
"I……"
"I……"
Fengshen: "If you have anything to say, just tell me. I'll have something to do later."
Zhu Yao bit her lip and said, "I want to think about Naihe Bridge!"
"Do you know Naihe Bridge?" Fengshen was a little surprised.
Zhu Yao nodded and said: "The captain of the Miao Jiang Conspiracy is from my tribe. He once told me that the Conspiracy has a way to quickly increase its power, and that is to cross the Naihe Bridge!"
"Then do you know the mortality rate? Only one person in a million can cross the Naihe Bridge. The fate of failure is to become a lonely soul, drifting along the Wangchuan River until his soul is gone."
"I know." Zhu Yao said.
Fengshen turned around, looked at the petite girl in front of him, and said, "No one has walked across the Naihe Bridge for a long time. Anyone who tries has died."
Zhu Yao looked at Fengshen, her big eyes twinkling slightly, "When I was in Chengdu, I asked the Heavenly Master to help me with a fortune telling. He said that I had a bad fate and a bad beauty, but there was one person who could help me resolve it. At the same time,
I can also be of vital help to that person."
"Jiang Che?" Fengshen asked.
Zhu Yao: "Master Tian didn't say who that person was, but... I think it's Jiang Che. If it weren't for him, I would be dead by now."
"What does this have to do with you crossing the Naihe Bridge?"
"No matter whether the Heavenly Master is talking about him or not, since he helped me resolve the situation once, I naturally want to repay him. But now the gap between me and him is getting bigger and bigger. Let alone helping him, when I am with them, I
It will only become a burden."
Zhu Yao's voice became heavier and her tone became more firm.
"So I want to become stronger, very strong, so that when he encounters any difficulties, I can stand up and help him!"
Fengshen: "I understand, but this is against the rules."
"Plop!"
Zhu Yao knelt on the ground and knocked down hard, "Please help me from the God of Wind!"
"I don't want to be influenced by others anymore, and I don't want to be a burden anymore. I want to become stronger..."
"I want to help him!"
Seeing this, Feng Shen was speechless.
In fact, the first impression Zhu Yao gave him was that of a delicate little girl.
She gives off a very sunny, lively, yet delicate feeling.
But he didn't expect that such a little girl could do this for Jiang Che...
After taking a deep breath, Fengshen sighed: "That boy is so lucky."
Zhu Yao's face suddenly turned red: "Feng, Feng Shen, you misunderstood, I didn't, I didn't mean that..."
"Okay." Fengshen waved his hand, turned around, and looked at the bustling capital.
"I can promise you about Naihe Bridge, but I have to remind you again."
"There is only one person in ten thousand who can cross the Naihe Bridge. If you fail, you will lose your fragrance and your jade, and you will never recover..."
"It's okay, I won't regret it." Zhu Yao said.
Fengshen: "I haven't finished speaking yet..."
Zhu Yao: "Ah... yes, I'm sorry."
Fengshen: "If, what I'm talking about is if..."
"If you cross the Naihe Bridge and become a resistance around Jiang Che, but you find that Jiang Che has someone in your heart... so what?"
Zhu Yao: "It's okay, I won't regret it..."
Fengshen: "..."
"Okay, you go back first, I will arrange other things."
"Thank you Fengshen, I'll go back first."
"Um."
After Zhu Yao left, the enchanting woman from the Fengshen team came over.
"The last time I came here was the last time~" the woman smiled.
Fengshen: "Such a bad joke, don't use it next time, it's embarrassing..."
Woman: "Shuanq, I will really thank you."
Fengshen: "..."
"Do you really want to send that little girl to Naihe Bridge?" the woman asked instead.
Fengshen: "If she hadn't mentioned the Heavenly Master's prediction, I wouldn't have agreed so easily."
Woman: "Do you think she can really help Jiang Che?"
Fengshen: "No matter what, this is her own choice."
The woman sighed, looked at the night sky, and whispered softly.
"The spring breeze stretches for more than three thousand miles."
"It is crushed in the morning and evening, and weaved in the years."
"What a nice girl~"
"May I never forget it, and there will be a response~"
Fengshen's eyes flickered for a moment, as if he remembered something.
"..."
"It's a pity that in this era, the love between children is always a bond, always a burden, always superfluous..."
"That's you, not Jiang Che or Zhu Yao." The woman smiled.
Fengshen: "..."
Woman: "I have wine, captain, do you have a story?"
Fengshen: "Get out."
Woman: "Okay."
"Go to patrol."
"Captain, don't do it~"
"You will be keeping vigil for the next half month."
