All the way south, to the country where Kami-kun's friends met the ancestor of Tengu, to find the fallen great demon. The body of the ancestor of Tengu was sunk in the valley of the southern country. It was formed by splitting two mountains.
The origin of the ancestor is also the origin of the Tengu clan.
However, this place in the present world is not their final destination. Even if they reach the valley, they must find spiritual veins and enter the gap between death and life to get to the true location of Tengu Tomb. This place sounds mysterious.
The secret is, in fact, it is true. Even in the gap between life and death, even the cloud mirror cannot see the whole picture inside. Because of this, even if Xiao wants to provide more information, there is nothing he can do.
During the discussion, Shuangyue Jun kept rubbing the bridge of her nose and temples. Everyone looked at her with some worry, worried that her condition was too bad and she couldn't bear it. She shook her head and finally slapped her cheeks for a while to cheer herself up.
, trying his best to calmly say:
"Regarding the Tengu matter, I am as worried as other worries. I really want to go and investigate in person to see what is going on. Originally, I hoped to provide you with some help... However, in my current state, you can't
It is obvious to all, and related to the task, I need it more
Ask that lord for permission and don’t act rashly. Once I get permission, I will go to that land of right and wrong. As for what your plans are... you can tell me first. Maybe I can get something from that lord.
The answer is, of course, don’t have too high hopes.”
"Then, where do you want to go? Can I go?" Wenying opened her eyes wide and couldn't help but look at the light coming from outside the door, feeling extremely novel about everything. "Besides, didn't my brother say it a long time ago,
Is it time for me to leave home and experience more? I used to stay here to take care of grandma, but now that I have Xiao, I can go out with you!"
Her excited words were like pebbles bouncing into a pool of stagnant water, and only dull bubbles emerged. Wenying's puzzled eyes swept across the faces of several people, Xiao was still calm as usual, and Lord Shuangyue still looked exhausted both physically and mentally.
It was nothing, but her brother and his two friends also looked sad. They had obviously received important information, but they still hesitated, as if they were full of worries, which delayed their departure.
After a while, Xie Zhe put down the hand supporting his forehead, as if he had finally made up his mind after careful consideration.
"If you really have no clue... maybe the only place to go is the Tengu Tomb. I know there are rumors that there is no return there, but we have no choice. Such a major world event must be the top priority."
"You - do you have a heart?" Han Shan stared at him in disbelief, "Have you forgotten Ling Yu? We haven't found her yet! And everything we say now is not just speculation.
? There is no evidence that Nightmare Dog, Wuyonglan, and Ye Lingyu are there!"
Xie Zhe frowned and asked with rare emotion: "How could I forget her? Compared to you, I care about her no less. I worry about her whereabouts and her safety day and night."
Han Chang raised his upper lip and showed a slightly sarcastic smile. Next to him, Wenying took a nervous breath, but did not dare to dissuade his brother who was not easily angered.
"I really can't see it. Aren't you planning to throw her aside for the sake of more important world affairs and based on baseless speculation with insufficient evidence?"
"In the current situation, we still don't know where to look for her, let alone how to rescue her. But the Tengu issue is clear. Furthermore, if something happens to the Tengu Tomb, the opponents we will face in the future will be even more terrifying." Xie
Zhe's eyes were a little red, but he persisted
He said, "The Nightmare Tengu, who is just the evil messenger of lies, has already caused us to be constrained everywhere and paid a heavy price. If there is another Tengu - or even a group of them, not only us, but what will the world face? We are going to bet.
Is the enemy weak or benevolent?"
"But what about Ling Huan? What should I do about Ling Huan?" Han Shang shook his head and looked at the people in the room one by one in despair, "Are we going to treat her as if she doesn't exist and turn around and leave? I can't do it, Lao Xie
, can you really do it?"
Xie Zhe responded with silence. For a long time, he clenched his fists and sighed helplessly.
"Alas...have you forgotten that your brother might also be related to..."
Han Chang slapped his hand on the table, and there was a crackling sound on the table, and ferocious cracks appeared. But his expression was not angry, but one of unspeakable sadness. Did he really forget it? How could it be possible? He was just too scared.
He tried his best to avoid talking about this topic. He originally supported Xie Zhe, but everything was Xiao's analysis and speculation. Although based on his experience, these remarks were enough to serve as a reference for deciding the direction of the situation, but he still felt a pang
Grief.
Is Wenying listening on the sidelines...
"Brother, brother?" Wenying's tone indeed changed a bit, "I never dared to ask you before..."
"..."
"Warm wine, he..."
Han Sheng buried his face in his hands. A weak dizziness left him unable to speak. Xie Zhe looked at him and sighed again. The room suddenly seemed extremely small and cramped, and he was so suffocated that he couldn't breathe. He took a few hard breaths
Get off, get up and walk out the door.
"...Let your brother tell you slowly. He has made up his mind to tell you and has no intention of running away. I'm going to get some air. We both need to think about it carefully and make a serious decision on this matter."
Jiao Mo stood up, patted Han Shang gently, and said to Wenying:
"Don't worry, your brother knows it well..."
After comforting the fox brothers and sisters, she left the table and walked out the door, as if she was going to catch up with Xie Ze.
Xie Zhe walked a little further in the snow, suppressing his chaotic thoughts. The sky was clear outside the house, and the sunlight was flowing on the snow, giving off a golden color. Xie Zhe stared distractedly at the intertwined patches in the snow.
Light and shadow, after a while, I heard the sound of stepping on the snow from behind.
"Do you think my proposal is too unkind?"
Xie Zhe turned his head and asked Jiao Mo who was walking behind him. The latter shook his head.
"On the contrary, I think what you said makes sense. I support your decision. Friendship is more valuable than a thousand pieces of gold. However, the general trend of the world affects all of us. If we can't solve it, even if we rescue our friends, we will still have to face a hundred times more dangers.
The situation. Which is more important or less important is clear at a glance."
"When everyone comes to the conclusion of the discussion and it is determined that you want to go to the South, I can help you lead the way." Jiao Mo thought of this and smiled with some sigh, "After all, I am from there."
"Well, I've never been there. I wonder what we need to prepare and pay attention to if we want to go to the South Country?"
Jiao Mo looked back at the igloo. The igloo was also plated with gold by the sunlight, and it looked peaceful and peaceful.
"They seem to be still discussing something. If I have time, I will talk to you first..."
The atmosphere in the room was somewhat depressing. At least to Han Chang's point of view, it made him feel tormented.
Of course, this is not a problem with the house, but stems from an anxious state of mind. After a while, Shuoyue-kun called Wenying out, as if to take over Hanshang’s place in the heavy narration. Xiao sat next to him, until
To put it bluntly:
"Your brother Wenjiu is currently with Wuyonglan, the evil messenger of lies." Han Zhang nodded.
"Wuyonglan is the owner of the Nightmare Tengu. The matter we want to trace is related to the Tengu. You must have thought about what we would do if we encounter Wuyonglan and run into Wenjiu? We don't know what he will do to Wenying now.
What kind of attitude? If you think about asking Yingying, he is
An unknown and dangerous factor." Xiao's face was calm, but there was real worry in her words, "Wenying is a smart girl, but she is still in the rough and has never seen the world. As time goes by, I also feel very fond of her.
I'm worried, lest she also make some improper judgment and cause trouble."
Han Shan still had a sullen face, and Xiao continued: "So, no matter whether you are still going to find the lie next, or embarking on the road to the Tengu Tomb, I suggest not to let Wenying follow you too early. Any cultivation
As a junior, people will want to hone their courage and broaden their horizons. This is also the correct way for a person to grow up. However, the world is not peaceful now, so we cannot just let her take risks."
Hanshang was a little shaken.
"What you said makes sense. But this girl also has her own ideas. I don't know what she will think." As he spoke, Han Chang raised his head and glanced, "Well, is she out?"
"Well, I just took Mr. Shuangyue with me to visit grandma."
At this time, Mr. Shuangyue was walking in a long cave with Wenying. The light in the cave was dim and there were some water stains on the ground. Wenying held her hand and carefully avoided the rough places on the ground while explaining to her.
:
"Grandma doesn't like living in other people's houses. After all these years, she still likes to live in caves. She feels this is the most comfortable and peaceful way."
Mr. Shigetsuki expressed his understanding. It should be noted that not to mention the old ladies among monsters, even the old ladies among humans will have some old preferences in housing choices, which are not the same as those of their grandchildren.
They walked deeper and deeper, and in the end, Lord Shuangyue could no longer see anything. The surroundings were pitch black, and only the echo of footsteps could help her judge that she was still in a cave that was not wide. As she walked,
Wenying, who was pulling her, suddenly stopped, and she almost bumped into the girl.
"Grandma, I'm bringing someone to see you. Well, it's the Six Paths of Impermanence that I told you before. I promise you that I will bring her to see you when she is willing to go out for a walk."
Shuangyue-kun opened her eyes in a daze, rather than looking, she was staring in the direction she was facing. She tried her best to activate her senses and could hear rustling sounds in the darkness. Even so, she couldn't even
Determine whether the sound is the friction of human clothing or the ruffling of fox fur.
"Here you come? My child."
What reached her ears was indeed an old and kind woman's voice. Just by relying on her voice, Lord Shuangyue could outline an amiable image, as if she could see with her own eyes that this grandma was smiling and looking at her.
"Good boy, you have a contract with Tengu. You want to set it free, which is rare. You should go... go, follow your heart, and go to the farther south. Wishes and missions never count.
In conflict with each other, punishing evil and promoting good have complemented each other since ancient times. The secret of the Tengu Contract is buried in the Tengu Tomb."
Wenying stopped saying anything, still holding her with her soft little hands, and quietly listened to her grandma's words with her. But Shuangyue Jun was a little stunned, and couldn't help but feel curious:
"How many years have you lived in this world? Why do you know so much about the contract? I remember that this contract was made by the ancestors and the Tengu thousands of years ago..."
She heard no reply, only an old and friendly chuckle. In the darkness, Lord Shuangyue suddenly opened her eyes wide, showing an extremely shocked expression.
