Looking at Wu Shuang'er's expression, Lin Zichen couldn't help but laugh. Wu Shuang'er's expression was always so calm at ordinary times, but she was a pretty girl after all, and her surprised look was quite cute.
Her big eyes were round and she covered her mouth with a pair of jade hands. Wu Shuang'er couldn't help but look at Lin Zichen: "Zichen, this is..."
"This is Black Feather, an ancient roc. How about you feel it?"
"Feelings?" Wu Shuang'er's expression became even more exaggerated, as if she had already thought of what Lin Zichen meant by feelings.
Lin Zichen smiled, picked up Wu Shuang'er's waist, and carried Wu Shuang'er directly onto Pengniao's back as easily as lifting a box.
"ah……"
Wu Shuang'er gasped in fright until she landed on Hei Yu's back. She felt the soft feathers under her body and was so frightened that it was difficult to sit still.
However, Lin Zichen quickly climbed up and sat directly behind Wu Shuang'er. When he felt Lin Zichen's big hand firmly holding his waist, Wu Shuang'er calmed down.
"Haha, don't be afraid, Black Feather is very stable."
Wu Shuang'er's cheeks turned red and she nodded slowly: "You're here, I'm not afraid."
Lin Zichen nodded: "Okay, Heiyu, let's go!"
Heiyu turned his head and glanced at Lin Zichen, thinking to himself: Humph, using me to please girls? You can't think of that!
However, Xiaofeng could sense Heiyu's thoughts and couldn't help but sigh: "Hey, master, how come you always have a beautiful woman by your side..."
Hearing this, Lin Zichen was stunned for a moment, then rolled his eyelids helplessly: "You've had enough, you don't have much time, Black Feather, hurry up and set off!"
These words almost all exist in perception, and of course Wu Shuang'er cannot hear them.
Black Feather said: "Going to Dayue Mountain?"
Hearing these words, Wu Shuang'er was really frightened. The Peng bird was scary enough, and it was so big. The most important thing was... it actually spoke human language?
"Zi Chen, it..."
Lin Zichen smiled: "Don't be afraid, Shuang'er, Black Feather is an ancient beast. It can channel spirits. Naturally, it can also use human language. It will not hurt you."
Wu Shuang'er took a deep breath and felt a little calmer, but she couldn't be completely unafraid in her heart. Soon she leaned towards Lin Zichen and felt a little safer.
"Let's go Kuroba, Otsuki Mountain!"
Black Feather rushed up into the sky. It must be said that this time its movements were extremely explosive. It seemed to be intentional. It could be regarded as revenge for being threatened by Lin Zichen.
However, Lin Zichen had already expected it. He hugged Wu Shuang'er tightly, and the protective aura around him completely sealed a space. Wu Shuang'er felt like he was on a roller coaster. It was extremely exciting, but under Lin Zichen's
in his arms, but he was not frightened.
This was the first time Wu Shuang'er felt flying in the night sky. This feeling was different from flying. After all, except being held by Lin Zichen, there was no other protection. Everything around him was so real, as if he was flying.
.
She slowly closed her eyes, feeling the smell of the air high in the sky, and couldn't help but smile happily.
"Haha, Shuang'er, how do you feel?"
"It's so amazing, Zichen. I could never imagine that I would try something like this."
Lin Zichen smiled: "When you step into martial arts, your vision will be different from that of ordinary people. You may even often face things you never expected. Sometimes it will be dangerous, but it is still a kind of excitement."
"Zi Chen, I finally understand why you are a strong martial artist. You are not afraid of anything and have a desire to explore all things. Even some dangerous things are a kind of stimulation and challenge to you!"
"One day you will do the same. On the path of martial arts, no one will back down, there is only endless pursuit!"
Above the night sky, the cold wind blew by, but Wu Shuang'er did not feel any chill. Instead, she was filled with happiness. She only felt that she was being held by Lin Zichen and walking on the endless martial arts journey. Perhaps, she had never experienced this kind of thing in her life.
Happiness.
Zichen, if I could become a heroic couple on the journey of martial arts with you, how about... I would be willing to do so.
About two hours later, Black Feather landed on the high point of a mountain peak. Lin Zichen looked at the surrounding areas and nodded: "Shuang'er, this is Dayue Mountain. It is located in Fengbei City, but it is only a mountain.
The outer area has been officially developed, but the inside still belongs to the wild mountains.”
"Dayue Mountain... I've heard of this place. Fengbei has done a lot of tourism advertisements during this period," Wu Shuang'er nodded and said, "But Zichen, what are we doing here?"
"A friend of mine is missing. He probably disappeared from here. Let me check. Let's go down!"
After getting off Heiyu's back, Lin Zichen said: "Heiyu, although this is a wild mountain, the villagers in the mountain will probably be scared if they see you. You can just wait here for the time being. When we go back
, I will let Xiaofeng summon you."
"Okay, but..." Heiyu thought for a while and said, "When can you give me my Transformation Pill?"
"Haha, it depends on the refining progress. Sometimes being too eager for success will affect the effect of the elixir. You don't want to suddenly change back to a roc in front of others, right?" Lin Zichen said.
Black Feather said: "Well, I hope you won't play tricks. Although the Phoenix Master is in your body, don't forget that I have the strength of the Heavenly Realm!"
Lin Zichen chuckled lightly, ignored it, and walked down the mountain.
The mountain road in Dayue Mountain is not very easy to walk. After all, it is a wild mountain. In addition to being relatively steep, there are also many boulders blocking the road. Fortunately, Wu Shuang'er also grew up in the mountains and has unique skills and methods for walking on mountain roads. In addition,
At this time, his physical condition was much better than before, and the two of them soon arrived near the mountain.
But when approaching Shanbei, Lin Zichen couldn't help but be startled. It was about ten o'clock in the evening, but why was it so quiet in Shanbei?
Seeing Lin Zichen suddenly stop, Wu Shuang'er said: "Zichen, what's wrong with you?"
Lin Zichen shook his head slowly: "It seems something is not right, Shanbei... is so quiet and scary."
Wu Shuang'er also looked towards the direction of the mountain. The mountain has undergone a lot of renovations. The original wooden fence has been turned into a stone wall, and many small masonry attics have been added. It looks more beautiful than before.
A lot.
"It's nothing, right? After all, people in the mountains rest relatively early, and the same goes for Wucun. Usually everyone goes to bed around eight o'clock in the evening," Wu Shuang'er said.
"That's true, but Shuang'er, don't forget, it's winter now, and the climate in Dayue Mountain is no better than Biyin Mountain where Wu Village is located. Winter is still colder, but you see, there isn't even a trace of fire in the mountain."
Wu Shuang'er looked again and felt that something was wrong with what Lin Zichen said. She nodded and said: "Yes, you are right. Even if they are all resting, they will not stop firing. In this case, the villagers will not be able to sleep."
Lin Zichen said: "Moreover, it is difficult to connect to the power supply here in Shanbei. Although Salmon, the former patriarch of the Xishanbebe, later introduced several generators, it is impossible that there will be no movement. The current Shanbei is too quiet. It should be
There is something wrong!”
Speaking of this, Lin Zichen thought of the loss of contact between Huo Qing and Lingya, and suddenly had a very bad premonition.
Then, he strode towards the mountain, and Wu Shuang'er followed closely behind.
The inside of the mountain is even quieter than what I saw just now. The lights are turned off in every house, and there is no other light source except the moonlight.
Lin Zichen clearly remembered that in the past, even late at night in the mountains, there would always be people patrolling the night. The night watchers would all hold torches. It had never been so dark before.
He frowned slightly and felt the atmosphere here. It was not only quiet, but there was not even a trace of life. This was incredible.
Lin Zichen immediately raised his palm and instantly ignited a flame. This flame was not the fire of the fire lion, but a general refining flame. However, even so, under the stimulation of true energy, it was enough to light up more than half of the mountain.
Part of it, the brightest place is even as bright as daytime.
Wu Shuang'er had seen Lin Zichen use flames before, so it was not surprising. She carefully observed everything around her and seemed to feel something, and there was a subtle change in her expression.
But not long after the fire illuminated the mountain, the door of a house suddenly opened.
Lin Zichen and Wu Shuang'er looked at the same time and saw a villager in his thirties walking out of the house, picking up a fork by the door and walking out.
This man's eyes were dull and lifeless, which gave Lin Zichen a feeling of déjà vu.
Soon, the doors of several more houses were opened, and villagers came out one after another.
The most eye-catching thing is that the attic where the patriarch lives next opens the door. Gahan walks out of the building, like a big leader looking at everything around him, nodding frequently, like an overseer staring at others.
of labor.
After that, some familiar figures appeared in Lin Zichen's field of vision. Salmon, Getu and others also joined in the work, and they were doing daily tasks, such as carrying water, watering, turning soil, etc.
Until grandpa walked out of the room, Lin Zichen was completely shocked. Like everyone else, grandpa stared straight ahead, stiffly walked to Gahan's side, and also looked at everyone.
At this time, Wu Shuang'er took out a small wooden box from her backpack and opened the lid. A warm yellow light was released. In the light, a small butterfly flapped its wings and flew in place, carrying an indescribable spirituality.
.
Lin Zichen saw this and said, "Yang Butterfly Gu?"
"Zi Chen, do you still remember it?"
"Well, you used it to save Sister Yi when we were at the northern foot of Biyin Mountain."
"Yes, it's Yang Butterfly Gu, Zichen, don't you think it's strange? These people are like walking zombies, just like the Wucun last time!"
Lin Zichen frowned slightly and nodded: "I think the same thing. The people in Shanbu must have been poisoned, and... it's the soul-eating Gu!"
"That's right, so we have to detox them first!" As he said that, Wu Shuang'er shook the small box in his hand, and the Yangdie slowly flew out.
Lin Zichen thought for a while and said: "When Mu Bo solved the poison last time, I already mastered the method of understanding the poison, but... it requires a lot of materials. It seems that I have to go out first."
After all, Shiyin Medicine is located in Fengbei, so it is not difficult for Lin Zichen to find some materials.
"No, Zichen, you just need to tell this little guy what you want, and Yangdie will naturally find a way to find the materials!"
"What? Yangdie is looking for a way?" Lin Zichen looked at the Yangdie flying in the space in disbelief and exclaimed.
