Chapter 530: Mountain Song
Occasionally, sometimes Song Jianqiu will think, this killing in the underworld is really clean, no matter how you die, there will be no blood, intestines, brains or anything, spilled on the ground, it will pollute the environment, and if it is not washed, there will be a bloody smell, attracting flies to come, and naturally it will not make people feel disgusting.
But sometimes I think, how did the people of the underworld die because they will not be left with anything? Where did he die? Is it missing? Or is it really dead? I don't know, there is no trace of clues, it really doesn't exist, no one will know, and it's miserable.
Either way, there's actually a chilling feeling.
When a living person dies, a superstitious person will feel that there is a netherworld, and the soul will enter the underworld and then be reincarnated.
However, when the person in the underworld dies, this is the second time he has died, and this time, it is really thorough, clean, nothing, and the soul is scattered.
It feels like there's no hope at all, and it's desperate to think about, right?
Or, only when this soul body dies for the second time can it be considered truly dead, and will it enter the six realms of reincarnation?
Who knows!
Song Jianqiu silently watched Yuan Li hang the enemy, thinking in his heart, what kind of experience would make a little girl so ruthless? Although it is very likely that this little girl has lived for decades, in the underworld, although the time has been extended, her growth has also slowed down.
In the same decades, the yang world is already a middle-aged or even an elderly person who is crawling in society, but in the underworld, the child is still a child, maybe more sensible and stable than the teenage child in the yang world, but in fact, the child is still more hearted.
Song Jianqiu watched silently and thought about it silently.
Just as he was about to step forward to comfort him, suddenly, Yuanli, who had been standing still for a long time, began to cry.
This made her stop for a moment, not knowing if this time would pass again, whether it was appropriate.
Yuanli's crying became louder and louder, as if he wanted to cry all the grievances and pain he had been crying cleanly and thoroughly.
"You, you're going to die sooner or later!" The snake man who was grabbed by Xiaohua's tail said weakly: "Follow, go against us, Lord Yaqi will not let you go!" ”
Yaki ...... My lord?!
Hearing this name, Song Jianqiu's eyes narrowed.
Yes, she remembered that someone had fallen into the Yin Qi Mouth on the top of Lingyan Temple earlier than her and Zhou Qingli and the Evil Buddha.
It's the patriarch of the Japanese Kuril family, Sendao Yamalan!
At the beginning, the other party peeked at Lingyan and attacked Lingyan Temple, although it did not succeed, but it can be said to have directly led to the plan of the Buddha Azi to enter the demon later, and then the four ghost kings joined forces to open the Yin Qi Outlet Passage, which can be regarded as the prelude to the many disasters and difficulties in Lingyan Temple in the future.
That Qiandao Shanlan summoned the legendary fierce beast Eight Miscellaneous Snakes, and he himself also had great power because he obtained a drop of snake blood from the Eight Miscellaneous Snakes.
It's just that in the end, when the plan failed, he took the initiative to jump into the mouth of the yin qi and disappeared.
At that time, they didn't know what was on the other side of the Yin Qi Mouth, but now it seems that this Thousand Island Shan Lan is not dead, but is mixing well in the underworld, calling himself the Eight Miscellaneous Snakes? Or, this eight-fold snake is not a thousand islands and mountains, but a real fierce beast, the eight-fold snake?
Although Song Jianqiu has never seen it, he heard Xiaoyao Immortal say that the ghost beasts in the underworld are actually very powerful, and like people, they can strengthen themselves by absorbing yin qi and soul power.
Moreover, it can also be classified into levels for ghosts and beasts in accordance with the method of soul refining.
The most ordinary soul beasts are naturally in the dual appearance of the soul refining method, the slightly more powerful ones are in the triple body, and the rarer ones are the quadruple forging bones, and the higher ones are, naturally there are them, but they are even rarer and difficult to meet.
In the underworld, it is not uncommon for ghost beasts that have survived for thousands of years or tens of thousands of years, but this kind of ghost beasts generally sleep in the depths of the mountains or in hidden places to minimize their soul power consumption.
After all, compared to people who can actively absorb soul power through soul refining, the strength of ghost beasts grows entirely by hunting and eating, and the more they eat, the more powerful they will naturally become.
Like evil ghosts, ghosts and beasts will occasionally attack villages and towns, and it is natural to be fine if they are defended, and if they are not prevented, it is common for the whole village to be eaten up.
At the same time, ghost beasts are different from people, the former is yin qi soul power evil qi, no matter what qi is absorbed by the brain, while people, the main absorption is soul power, even if there are mixed, they will be automatically filtered out, discharged, only a small number of people, what special method has been cultivated, can absorb qi other than soul power, and generally this kind of people, will also be affected by this qi, become different.
After all, in the underworld, soul power can be said to be the safest kind of power, as for the other powers, they are either too violent, or too cold, or they are mixed, and if they absorb this power, their character will also be affected.
This is also the reason why most of the ghost beasts in the underworld are ferocious and violent, and the desire to attack is very strong, just because there is no division of power!
If you think about it this way, then the possibility of being a fierce beast and a snake is reduced, after all, no matter how powerful it is, the snake is just a fierce beast, and it can't change its fierce and brutal nature, and it probably won't know how to command people, right?
But it can find a spokesperson, then, Qiandao Shanlan, is a good choice.
She now suspects that when Qiandao Shanlan took the initiative to jump into the Yin Qi Mouth, maybe he was instructed by the Eight Miscellaneous Snake to do so, otherwise he really wanted to escape at that time, in fact, there was still a chance, but in the end he chose to jump into the Yin Qi Mouth where he didn't know whether he was alive or dead, and this choice was too unwise.
Song Jianqiu thought for a moment, and couldn't help but exhale, but he didn't expect that even in this underworld, he would be able to meet acquaintances!
Yagi-sama or something, I'll have a chance to see it later, now! She still walked over, and didn't comfort Yuanli, who was crying, only took the other party's hand, and then motioned for Xiaohua to follow and leave here.
There has just been a battle here, and it's no longer safe, and the geyers and rolling heads in the wilderness will be attracted by the fluctuation of soul power and gather over, although they are not afraid, but it is also troublesome to clean up, so it is better to leave as soon as possible.
Yuanli let Song Jianqiu lead him, howling and crying as he walked, and there was no sign of stopping for a while.
And Xiaohua dragged the snake man behind.
Soon, the three of them disappeared at the end of the wilderness.
…………
After walking for an unknown distance, in order to conceal the traces, Song Jianqiu still left the wilderness with Xiaohua and Yuanli and entered the mountains.
The mountains are densely wooded, compared to the endless wilderness full of chaotic boulders, it seems safer, at least when resting, you can let the stone spirit make a hole, the space is larger, and then set up a rune array to shield the breath, you can rest peacefully.
Yuanli stopped crying, but he didn't say a word, and was held by Song Jianqiu and walked passively.
Xiaohua still followed, dragging the snake man's tail; The latter seems to have accepted the reality, letting Xiaohua drag him, staring at the sky with blank eyes, even if his head hits the stones, trees, and his body is still rubbing on the ground, he is silent, it feels like he has experienced some great calamity, causing him to mourn more than die of heart or something.
Although he does seem to have experienced a great calamity.
Until it was getting dark, Song Jianqiu also stopped to rest and asked Shi Ling to dig a hole, but he didn't go in for the time being, but lit a bonfire in the open space outside.
The snake man was trapped in a tree, and in order to prevent him from escaping or resisting, Song Jianqiu printed a Buddha seal on the other party.
The golden Buddha seal just came out, which made the snake man frightened, frightened by the Buddha's light, and when it fell on him, he let out a miserable scream, and a canopy of smoke came out, which was caused by a large amount of soul power being consumed in an instant, and the snake man's body, at this moment, dimmed and became chaotic and transparent.
After following Song Jianqiu for so long, it was the first time that Yuanli saw Song Jianqiu cast the Buddha seal, this kind of power full of Buddhist brilliance and made the soul body fearful, although it was unfamiliar, but it made her eyes light up, as if she saw some hope.
However, she didn't say anything, just pursed her lips, stared at Song Jianqiu, looked at the other party and told Xiaohua to take care of the captive, and then turned around and left - this is going to hunt ghost beasts!
It wasn't long before she returned, carrying a huge tiger on her shoulders.
After putting it on the ground, start processing - naturally there is no need to peel the skin, this level of ghost beast does not have skin to peel, just cut it open, and then cut it into pieces of meat according to each part.
It can also be eaten raw, or grilled.
The former basically does not have any taste, that is, it is simply absorbed, while the latter, if it is roasted with fire, the high temperature can destroy some of the harmful evil gases, and then you can smell the aroma of barbecue, which is a more popular way to eat.
Moreover, when leaving the town, Song Jianqiu bought some salt, so that it tasted even better when sprinkled on the meat!
Several people did not have the habit of eating raw meat, so they were naturally roasted by fire.
During the period of survival in the mountains, I already had plenty of experience in how to barbecue meat.
Song Jianqiu went to cut some branches, sharpened them, and asked Xiaohua to skewer the meat quickly.
The piece of meat is very large, one piece is the size of the palm of a hand, half a finger thick, and when skewered into a string, it looks appetizing and should be very satisfying to eat.
After making more than ten skewers, I started to roast on the fire, and I don't have to worry about whether it will be scorched or something, barbecue technology or something, it is completely useless here, anyway, as long as you roast it with fire, the temperature is high, and there will naturally be evil gas that will be decomposed and dissipated, and it will come out like smoke.
A tiger the size of an adult cow, the three of them naturally can't eat it, although the soul body has no hunger, but surprisingly there will be a feeling of fullness, which is caused by absorbing too much soul power through food, if it is cultivation, it is not.
This situation really makes people feel very magical, feeling that this underworld is very similar to the yang world everywhere, and the dead soul body is also similar to the living person, and there are many different places, giving people a plausible feeling.
Anyway, after processing half of the tiger meat, Song Jianqiu stopped, and the remaining half of the tiger meat was thrown wherever it was, and after a while, even if there were no ghost beasts to eat, it would completely dissipate itself into soul power and yin qi.
This is true of all meats, so there is absolutely no need to worry about eating anything that is left overnight, and the meat that is not fresh because it has taken too long has dissipated.
Xiaohua and Song Jianqiu stood by the campfire, drooling as they watched the barbecue.
Yuanli sat a little farther away, leaning against a big tree, but he was also staring straight at the bonfire, but he didn't know whether he was watching the barbecue or the fire.
Although it is said that there is no skill in barbecue here, but habitually, Song Jianqiu will still flip the meat skewers, in addition to not turning them to feel burnt, but also to sprinkle salt on the meat skewers so that the taste is more uniform.
The aroma of barbecue gradually spread, Xiaohua felt a little unbearable when she smelled it, and asked, "Mom!" Is it ready to eat? ”
"Wait!" Song Jianqiu saw that there was still some black smell coming out of the barbecue, indicating that the miscellaneous gas in the meat had not been completely dispersed, and it was better to bake it cleanly.
But at this moment, a singing voice suddenly came from the mountains and forests.
The god of song floated from afar, and only listened to the lyrics and sang: "The mountains are high and the trees are long!" Water white vines and green! The winding mountain road is like a river, and I am just a drop of water! ……”
“…… Sister send Brother! Walk dozens of miles! I am reluctant to give up, I just hope that Brother can come back! ……”
The surrounding green hills are towering, one by one straight into the sky, stone walls and cliffs can be seen everywhere, and the singing echoes in the mountains, making Song Jianqiu frown slightly, I don't know what kind of person will sing mountain songs in this mountain, is he not afraid of death?
It certainly can't be a hunter! The hunter is afraid that he will become quiet, how can he make such a noise?
"Mom, what is this man singing?" Xiaohua listened for a while, didn't seem to understand, and asked curiously.
Song Jianqiu was about to answer, but he didn't expect that Yuanli, who had never spoken, began to answer this time: "Mountain song!" The song of the mountain ghost! ”
Hey?!
Is there such an explanation for mountain songs?
When Song Jianqiu heard this, he was surprised, the mountain song is the song of the mountain ghost, what should I do with the wife's cake? Is it my wife's cake?
All right! This is probably the cultural difference between the two worlds, in the yang world, the mountain song is the mountain song, and in the underworld, the mountain song has become the song sung by the mountain ghosts.
However, she knows the mountain ghosts, doesn't it mean that the mountain ghosts live in the mountains and forests, wander around, like to eat raw human flesh the most, and look for living human graves everywhere? How can you still sing mountain songs?
If you can sing this kind of song, then the mountain ghost can't be a lone ranger, it should be a group that gathers together, right?
Is it to build a stockade in the mountains and gather a group of people who live in the mountains?
The specific situation is unknown, Song Jianqiu and Zhou Qing have been in the mountains and forests for so long before, even when she has not left her soul, she has never encountered a mountain ghost.
In this case, either the mountain ghosts are really rare, or the news learned from Zhao Jun is different.
Song Jianqiu is more inclined to the latter.
