White Night Floating Life Chapter 157: Unable to Compete "Hey, I'm finally awake." Qi Huan sighed as he shook the small bronze mirror, "You sleep too much every time. If it weren't for yourself
Get up, it's really hard to call you. Hurry up, it's too late if you don't hurry up. Hey, what, I made a mistake? Why are you hitting me! Hey, why are you kicking someone!"
The general had sent people to prepare troops and horses. Although in order to climb the mountain ahead, he might have to sell them at the village at the foot of the mountain, but he was still willing to spend money. He also had their weapons repaired and stuffed a lot of currency and
food.
"When Lao Bai finds his father, I will come back to pick you up and we will go together." Before leaving, Aoyan held her father's hand.
Jun Luanjiu didn't say anything, but nodded solemnly. Like all fathers, he was always not good at talking. But he had done enough, and it was enough to explain many things that need not be said.
They said goodbye reluctantly.
Qi Huan always felt that he had forgotten something. Until he was about to walk out of the city gate, Bai Ya slowed down. He frowned and looked around subconsciously:
"Why... I haven't seen Mr. Shuangyue come yet. Didn't he leave with us?"
"Didn't he say that he wanted to take a look here and let us go on our own?" Liu Shenghan replied calmly, "Don't worry about him - if you say so, he won't be traveling with us again for a while.
"
Only then did they react. With Mr. Shuangyue's temperament, if he was only away for a moment, how could he go out of his way to say hello.
"I knew this was the case. We should have said goodbye yesterday. Anyway, he helped us a lot, and he helped us a lot." Qi Huan scratched his head and sounded a little regretful.
However, this was not the only thing they never thought of.
When they reached the foot of Shiyue Mountain, they realized the problem. This time, there was no enthusiastic bird demon, and Lord Shuangyue was not with them. Forget it, his presence was of no use. Not only could they not fly over this mountain range, but if they descended again,
Even at the bottom of the valley, there is no way to cross the unfrozen underground river.
For the time being, we can only climb to the top of the mountain and think of a solution.
The mountain road is deserted and steep, and sparse vegetation can occasionally be seen, shivering by the mountain wind. From the moment he entered the mountain, Bai Ya continued to hear whining music in his ears. He just thought it was the call of the wind, and he was blown away by it.
He mistakenly heard it as music. Just as he was retracting his thoughts and focusing on the journey, Jun Aoyan suddenly spoke:
"Did you hear the sound of any instrumental music?"
She asked hesitantly, obviously she was not sure either. However, Qi Huan responded to her immediately:
"Did you hear it too? I thought it was because my ears were blocked and I heard strange noises for no reason."
"I thought it was the sound of the wind, and combined with people's reverie, it is similar to the music." Liu Shenghan frowned and said.
Bai Ya agreed. Logically speaking, there were no homes around Shiyue Mountain, and there were no other travelers on the mountain road. There shouldn't be music playing here.
"Did we hear this sound last time we came here?"
"...don't remember."
Even so, the melody still lingered. When the sun set and they reached the high mountains, they could clearly hear the deep sound that was completely different from the hollow wind whistle. Liu Shenghan speculated that maybe the wind direction at this time
It happened to blow at some special place in the valley, creating a musical sound.
Ethereal and distant.
This strange phenomenon probably had no impact on their journey. The shadow on Liu Shenghan's eyebrows probably came from worries about the road ahead. They searched along the rift valley in an attempt to find a smooth road across the chasm.
The sun hung in the western sky, teetering on the edge. The sky gradually dimmed, and the four of them still found nothing.
There was a bird soaring in the sky, and Qi Huan saw that it was also glowing with red, maybe it was painted by the setting sun. Could it be the same one he saw on the road earlier? If a person has wings like this, he can fly thousands of miles.
Well, how great would that be?
He was a little tired, and his eyes were wandering, chasing the bird far away. It soon disappeared into the horizon. Qi Huan twisted his sore neck and turned his head. Suddenly, his eyes focused on a tree a few steps away.
On top of a dead tree.
"Look at the branches of the tree over there. Is there anything on it?"
Bai Ya looked in the direction of his finger. The tree was not too far away from the broken edge of the mountain range, nor was it dangerously close. They followed Qi Huan and trotted there. They couldn't see the path across the valley anyway, so why not explore the area nearby?
There was an unexpected gain.
Regardless of whether it is considered a gain or not, that thing is indeed quite surprising. Qi Huan squinted his eyes, stood on tiptoes, jumped twice, and finally asked incredulously:
"Old Bai, look at that thing, does it look like... No, isn't this the wood carving of the little prince?"
"How is that possible?" Bai Ya stretched his neck and tried to look up, his tone full of doubt, "But that thing clearly fell into the underground river between the canyons."
"We'll find out if we shoot it down and see. It's getting dark soon. If it gets darker, it'll be hard to find it accurately. It's hard to find even if it falls on the ground."
Qi Huan was speechless and searched all over the ground for small stones. The small black shadow was not high and it was not firmly stuck in the branches. He threw the stones four or five times before knocking it out.
Coming down, Bai Ya quickly stretched out his hand to fish it out. He brought it close to his eyes and looked at it, a little surprised.
"It's really this."
"Show me." Qi Huan took the wooden sculpture from Bai Ya, looked at it, and scratched his head, "It's really it. Could it be that a bird brought it up..."
"What do birds do with this? Why do they put it on a tree? It won't make a nest."
"You two, let's not talk about this for now." Liu Shenghan interrupted them in a rare moment, speaking quickly, "Have you noticed that the music earlier has stopped now?" Temple Street
They stopped talking.
The sound indeed disappeared without a trace. Bai Ya realized that it was not the movement of the wind, because at such a quiet moment, the night wind was still flapping his clothes, carrying the unique coldness of Shiyue Mountain. Compared with before, at this time
The excessive silence gives people goosebumps.
The world in Qi Huan's ears was even stranger than pure silence.
When Bai Ya's voice stopped, he vaguely caught the extremely erratic human voice. He listened attentively, and the more he concentrated, the clearer the voice became. It was a childish voice, and he could not tell his age. He seemed to be a boy.
The children's voices were intermittent, and most of them could not be identified. After a while, Qi Huan finally heard one of them clearly:
"...my wood carving..."
He felt the cold hairs all over his body pricked up like ice thorns, and he leaned back suddenly, as if trying to avoid the object in his hand.
"What's wrong with you! Epilepsy?"
Bai Ya almost bumped into him. Qi Huan also had a hard time. He bit his tongue and dragged Bai Ya with a grin:
"You, listen! Little prince, he is talking! Did he fish out this wood carving by himself..."
Bai Ya listened carefully for a while and shook his head: "There is nothing. I'm afraid you are hallucinating."
"It's true." At this moment, Qi Huan actually calmed down, "Listen, it's getting clearer and clearer. He said... let me... see - where to go...?"
The friends turned around after listening to his instructions, only to see a large black shadow, which was nothing more than a huge rock.
"Is he buried under a stone?"
"Compared to this, it's not - don't you feel... the mountain is shaking?"
Jun Aoyan's face was tense, and Mo Dao was stuck straight on the ground. She lowered her head and stared at the tiny gravels at her feet. They were bouncing with increasing amplitude.
"Let's go over there." Liu Shenghan suddenly understood something, "That rock over there, run over and hide first!"
"What are you hiding from?"
Jun Aoyan quickened his pace, but he was a little confused. But Bai Ya remembered, he glanced at the unfathomable rift valley, his face was ugly, and he whispered through his teeth:
"It is rumored that the Tengu was sealed under Shiyue Mountain..."
The shaking intensified faster, and within a few steps, it went from not very noticeable to extremely violent. The shaking was not shaking from side to side, but shaking and sliding, causing their steps to skew. It was as if there was a giant tree that was about to reach the sky.
from
The soles of their feet broke out of the ground, and it seemed like a huge monster was about to rise from the ground. Like a waking dog, it stretched its body, shook its hair, and wanted to remove the dust, dead leaves and fleas that fell on its body during its sleep.
Throw it off your body.
Unfortunately, judging from the intensity of the current shaking, they, and almost all the rocks, vegetation and trees on the entire mountain, are nothing more than lice on a dog.
It was almost impossible to run. They were rolling and crawling on the turbulent mountain surface. Qi Huan and his companions kept moving, but from time to time they fell into a trance. He clearly felt that he was running with his friends, but he should
The anxiety and panic seem to
Being separated and isolated, the rumbling and shaking sounds of earth and rocks became distant. Instead, there were countless noisy voices, some of which were people, and some of which were indescribable, intuitive perceptions. They were constantly directing him, and sometimes, they were simply speaking.
Manipulate him.
At these sounds, Qi Huan suddenly became excited and pushed Bai Ya hard.
"Jump!"
Bai Ya subconsciously obeyed, and Qi Huan followed closely. As soon as his body took off, he heard the sound of the ground cracking under his feet. When they stepped back on the ground, they both turned around and saw a deep crack appeared on the spot.
of cracks.
Qi Huan understood. Those sounds, no matter what they were, were helping him avoid danger at this moment. He waved to the two girls vigorously:
"Follow me closely and I will take you up!"
On the way to the goal, a large tree fell down, stumbling and sliding towards the valley; a huge boulder rolled down, ran over the already broken ground, and was swallowed by a fissure. Before these dangers could touch them,
, Qi Huan had already taken his friends to avoid their route. He seemed to suddenly have the ability to predict the future, and he was always one step ahead of danger, pulling them to escape to safety.
Some weak rocks have fallen off the cliff and been buried at the bottom of the valley. Fortunately, the rocks where Qi Huan led them to hide are much stronger than others.
They were in shock, leaning against it and panting. At this time, long and short howls came from the valley, getting stronger and closer, causing people to have splitting headaches, as if their skulls were resonating with the sound.
With a bang, the mountain beneath their feet sank.
The heavy snoring of the beast and the sound of claws scratching the ground continued for a while. It sounded like the tengu was trying to drag itself out from the deep valley. Before it came out, Bai Ya asked in a low voice.
:
"I'm afraid it's difficult to fight head on. Is there anything you can do?"
"Me?" Qi Huan pointed at his nose, smiling uglier than crying, "Do you think I am Lord Shuangyue, who can even fight dragons?"
How could Bai Ya not know that asking this half-hearted Onmyoji was just a fluke? He looked at Jun Aoyan, who didn't say anything, shook his head slightly, and looked extremely worried.
Although they haven't seen the shape of this Tengu yet, they have only heard its sound, but since it can create such a formation of landslides and earth-shattering, it is obviously not something that ordinary people can contend with.
