Song You did not go back the way he came, but continued forward.
From the tail of this marching team, we walked all the way to the front. There was a hillside ahead.
When the Taoist led the horse slowly up the hillside, the haze that shrouded the sky and the earth had completely disappeared, the snowflakes dancing in the air had disappeared, the temperature had risen a lot, and the midsummer sunshine could already be felt.
The warmth. Looking back, behind me is a world of ice and snow that is rapidly melting and disintegrating. The water formed by the ice and snow is simply rushing and quickly changes back to its original state.
The cat also stopped with him and looked back.
"So much gold and silver!!"
"It's just earth and rocks."
Isn't it true that humans will eventually return to heaven and earth?
When all the ice and snow melted away, the Taoist just stood on the top of the mountain and waved his bamboo stick. In an instant, a flash of inspiration caused the mountains to collapse, the ground to crack, the mud and rocks to roll up, and the water to flow violently.
"Rumble..."
There was a sound like an earthquake in the mountains.
The cat's eyes widened when he saw it, and the scene in front of him was reflected in his eyes, as if it was a natural disaster.
In just an instant, all the corpses either fell into the cracks in the ground or were buried by the raging mudslide, and all the treasures, even if they were not dumped into the lake, were buried underground.
In the blink of an eye, all the scenes just now disappeared, whether it was ice sculptures, bones, or treasures, only the mud and rocks covering the earth were left.
The calico cat looked at it blankly.
"Let's go."
The Taoist's voice came from beside me.
The calico cat kept turning its head and looking behind it, while instinctively taking steps to follow the Taoist forward.
This is destined to be an inaccessible road. I am afraid that no one has been here for more than a hundred years. Even if Zhang Yushi continued to bring brave people here for more than a hundred years, they would only go as far as the Ice Lake. Once there Zhang Yushi
The censor is sure to ensure their safety, so that they can go back and tell the world this story, and also tell the world that there are still 40,000 Dayan people whose souls cannot rest in peace here, but going forward is meaningless and becomes more dangerous.
.
But it is inappropriate to say that this road has been abandoned for hundreds of years, because demons and ghosts often walk on it, so that over the years, the road surface has only lacked repairs and has not been swallowed up by weeds.
Now there are new visitors visiting.
"Ding ding ding..."
The crisp sound of horse bells echoed in the mountains and spread far and wide.
There are often ghosts spying in the forest.
But the movement like landslides and ground cracking and the sudden change in weather seemed to have frightened them. For a while, they only dared to hide and peep in the dark, not daring to come out.
Song You refused to let them go——
Among these demons and ghosts, only those who do not have evil spirits are considered good. They may be evil. They may have harmed people, or they may not have done harm to others. However, those who have evil spirits must have gone down the mountain and harmed others.
"When I'm tired on my way down the mountain, I'll ask Empress Sanhua and Yan An to do justice for me."
"OK!"
"yes……"
So a swallow fluttered its wings and flew up into the sky, scattering countless black feathers with a roar, all of which turned into swallows just like him. The feathers shone with a beautiful metallic luster under the sunlight, searching for evil spirits in the mountains.
, also guides the calico cat on the ground.
The calico cat summoned a pack of demon tigers and wolves, and still used the wolf encirclement and suppression tactics. She still used the demon tiger she first met as a mount to gallop around the mountains to eliminate demons.
For most monsters and ghosts, this lineup is enough. At worst, the Sanhua Empress can burn them to ashes if she breathes more fire. Occasionally, if there are monsters that become the weather, she will summon them from the flag.
With a giant bear and a wild boar with a small mountain-like mane, you can almost conquer this mountain.
So a strange picture appeared in this mountain -
A Taoist wearing an old Taoist robe walked along the grassy dirt road with a cane, leading a bay-red horse. The pace was very slow, and the sound of the horse's bells echoed in the mountains, which was extremely leisurely. But in the mountains and forests around him, the wind was rushing, and the tips of swallows' wings were flying.
The air was broken, and the cat riding the tiger also broke through the forest branches, chasing the evil spirits in the mountains. From time to time, the roars of tigers, howls of wolves and fierce fighting sounds could be heard.
Slowly go farther and farther.
This road is about a hundred miles long. It was originally a road over the mountains. After it was abandoned due to fear that the army was frozen to death, a new road next to it was opened.
After walking more than a hundred miles and climbing over the mountains, you will meet a new road.
Song You walked this way for two days.
These two days must have left a deep impression on the monsters in the mountains.
…
In the evening two days later.
Song You had already reached the foot of the other side of the mountain. He stopped and looked ahead: "It seems that we are on the right path ahead."
Song You had already seen someone beating a horse and passing by.
Because it was dusk and the weather was not very good, the horsemen were galloping, fearing both rain and darkness.
The calico cat was still following his feet. When he heard the sound, he just raised his head and glanced at him without saying a word. He lowered his eyebrows and looked like an ordinary cat after playing for a whole day and being highly tired.
Yan Zi also stopped on the horse's back, motionless, with a pair of dark eyes, and said: "It's a pity that the big demon was not found."
The cat lowered his head and licked his paws, thinking about the great demon.
"Maybe it just picked this mountain and doesn't live in this mountain itself." Song You pursed his lips and said to the two little monsters, "Thank you for your hard work these past two days."
After hearing this, Mao'er finally raised his head and said to him: "Thank you, Lady Sanhua."
Yanzi replied: "It's not hard."
"Thank you, Miss Sanhua, and thank you Yan An." Song You said and looked up at the sky. Seeing that there were already large dark clouds in the sky, he took another step forward, "Let's move on. It's going to rain. We have to hurry."
Find shelter before the rain comes down."
After the Taoist finished speaking, he stepped forward with his staff.
The cat yawned, stretched, looked back at the mountains behind him, endured his fatigue, and quickened his pace to follow.
"Ms. Sanhua, are you tired?"
"Miss Sanhua, you are not tired!"
"Are you really not tired?"
"I just feel a little sleepy."
"Do you want a horse to carry you?"
"Sanhua Empress can leave by herself!"
"..."
The quiet conversation continued into the distance.
In the distance are green mountains, rushing streams, and trees all growing upright. These trees grow together in a concentrated manner, revealing large expanses of green lawns, a kind of elegance that is hard to see in the mainland.
"Boom!"
There was a thunderous roar above my head, deafening.
As if telling them——
It’s midsummer now!
"ha……"
The cat finally returned to the horse's back and huddled in the swag, with only its head exposed. It looked back at the swallow on the horse's back, then looked up at the sky, and yawned while asking:
"Is there a Thunder Lord here too?"
"I don't know." Song You replied as he walked, "But the worship of thunder is one of the oldest and most primitive worships among people, so thunder gods usually exist in myths from various places."
"Is there Zhou Lei Gong here too?" Mao'er immediately asked a new question.
"I don't know." Song You still replied, "There are very few believers here. I don't know if there are many or few. I don't know if Zhou Lei Gong can come here. Even if he comes, his magical power is very small. Maybe here.
The Lei Gong of Zhou next to me is not as powerful as the Sanhua Empress."
"!"
Cat's expression suddenly condensed and became serious.
Sanhua Empress, a little cat demon, is actually more powerful than Thunder God!
And he is the most powerful Zhou Lei Gong!
This, this, this...
This is something Cat has never thought about.
"Boom..."
A thunder seemed to explode above the head, awakening the cat from his imagination.
Mao'er couldn't help but look up again and shrank her neck. She still had an instinctive fear of thunder, which broke her out of her wild thoughts that "the cat demon is more powerful than the thunder god".
Then she couldn't help but be confused: "There is no thunder here, who is thundering?"
"Miss Sanhua, you are wrong." The Taoist still said as he walked, very patiently. This is also a kind of pastime during the boring journey, especially when we come here, the language is blocked, and the journey is even more boring. Sometimes walking hundreds of miles is the only way to
The only one who spoke to him was this cat, "First there is thunder, then there is thunder. Even without thunder, there will be thunder. And thunder is usually not responsible for thunder. Thunder is just an ancient natural phenomenon of the clouds in the sky and earth. Thunder can only thunder."
, he’s just good at using the power of heaven and earth’s thunder.”
"Can Sanhua Empress learn to play thunder?"
"Lefa."
"Lefa!"
"Maybe later."
"Later~"
The cat still imitated the Taoist's speech, but his voice was obviously much softer than usual.
It seemed that she was really tired these two days.
"Pap..."
The first drop of rain fell, as big as a bean. It hit the ground and splashed into a flower. The water droplets were wrapped in dust and stopped on the dry dirt road. Before they had time to blend into the soil, subsequent raindrops of the same size began to crackle.
When it fell, the snapping sound gradually became denser.
The green grass was drooped by the impact, then bounced back up, and the branches began to sway continuously. In an instant, the rain started to fall heavily, and the whole world was filled with the sound of rain, showing the momentum of summer.
"Crackling..."
Song You only had time to put on his bamboo hat and raincoat when his ears were filled with the noisy sound.
The rain here seems to be coming faster and more violently than in the mainland, as if it is pouring down from the sky. Even if you are wearing a hat, you can feel the violent vibration above your head.
If you don't wear a hat, you may get bruises on your scalp.
Song You couldn't help but look at the horse next to him.
Grinning and moving on.
At the same time, the sky also became dark.
"Where can I stay tonight?
"I guess it's the way forward."
The Taoist said to himself, and was quickly annihilated in the sound of rain. The ground turned from dry to muddy in the blink of an eye, and he stepped forward through the splashing water.
The swallows, who were also exhausted from slaying evil spirits, fluttered their wings during the thunderstorm. They flew between the heavy rain, shuttled through the lightning, rushed up to the dark clouds to bathe in the new rain, and flew to a distance to watch the thunderclouds here as if they were draining water.
Water poured down the same waterfall, zigzagging back and forth in the air, showing a rare freedom and smoothness for a moment, which made the Taoist below couldn't help but stop and look up at him.
