Chapter 80: The Last Night of Peace
As I expected, the soul integrity of this second sloth turtle is really much higher than that of other big demon remnants, and in the past few days, I have been bored to explore this 'irritable' second sloth turtle before I came to this conclusion.
How complete is it? Even more than the stupid tiger who has been nourished for many years and has recently gone crazy to supplement! It has two souls and three souls!
This shocked me, but the state of the two lazy turtles also made me a little melancholy, because the tender fox didn't know when he had communicated with the two lazy turtles, and the two lazy turtles were sad and angry to find that the words engraved on its back turned out to be a lazy turtle, so it was angry.
But I don't know if it's because it's used to the company of these four words in its long life, and it's reluctant to remove these four words from the manifestation of the remnant soul for a while, so it's quite 'irritable'!
And the reason for my depression is because, this two lazy turtle is temporarily following me, it doesn't know what's wrong when it's irritable, and it persistently climbs on my head, although it is a spirit, but after all, it is the spirit of a big demon, and everyone can see it.
It doesn't even take into account how I feel as a man! What's the deal with a turtle on the head?
But this was just a small episode in our hurry, and it was a dose of spice that added to everyone's increasingly nervous mood, and as time passed, on the fourth day of obtaining the two lazy turtles, we were finally approaching the Immortal Tomb.
It was a little later than expected, after all, the location of the immortal tomb is a deep forest in the deep forest, and Lao Zhang is not so familiar, although there are two teams of people and horses on the way to clear the danger, but the danger of the terrain hidden under the snow is not so good-looking, we must rely on Lao Zhang's experience.
Even if you are so careful and slow down your pace, once Qin Huai and Brother Chengxin almost fell into a snow nest, but fortunately, Lao Zhang and we who walked behind reacted quickly and stopped them in time.
But no matter what, we are almost close to our destination today, but we feel more and more that this deep forest is weird, the strange peaks are protruding, the terrain is changing, and even animals are rare.
Fortunately, we still have some leftover dry food, and Lao Zhang specially pickled the previous meat, so as not to go hungry, but Lao Zhang is very guilty, he always thinks that there is fresh food, and hot soup, so that people can have strength.
He's a good guy, so I'll have to think about Lao Zhang.
This night should be the last safe night before facing the big war, right? On the map, I once saw that the last Great Demon Tomb was very close to the Immortal Tomb, but according to the actual footsteps, I found that the last Great Demon Tomb was near the Immortal Tomb, no more than 5 miles away.
At such a distance, it is estimated that those two gangs are waiting for me there, not necessarily, so it is not too much to say that it is the last safe night, what will happen next, what will be the result, no one knows.
The bonfire was burning, around the bonfire, we drank compressed biscuits with water, and made paste with dried meat, Lao Zhang was still roasting the marinated meat, I was heavy in my heart, worried about many problems, but I had no appetite, after drinking a bowl of mush, I put down the lunch box, felt a cigarette and lit it, I felt that there were some things I had to say, although I was reluctant to separate.
"Lao Zhang." After a moment of deliberation, I spoke.
"Huh?" Lao Zhang raised his head, still with the same honest face with a slight smile, but seeing that I put down the bowl, he said a little excitedly: "Gaha? Chengyi, you are such a big young man, and recently you said that you only eat so little? β
"Wait a minute, Lao Zhang, I have something to say." I said it seriously.
As soon as I said this, Lao Zhang stopped talking, everyone looked at me, waiting for my next step, I spit out a puff of cigarette, and said with some reluctance: "Lao Zhang, let's go into this old forest for more than half a month, although we don't get along for a long time, but I really feel that I treat you as my big brother, so I have to explain things to you clearly." β
"Uh-huh, you say." Lao Zhang was a little uncomfortable with my serious appearance, and habitually felt out the dry smoke, waiting for me to continue.
"Lao Zhang, after tonight, you don't have to follow us, you know, I'm not hiding anything from you, along the way, you have also been exposed to a lot of unbelievable things, we have never shied away from you! If you don't follow us, it's because it's going to be very dangerous next, you know, there are two groups of people who are eyeing us, and they're going to fight with us as soon as they get to the Immortal Tomb, I'm worried that we won't be able to take care of you then, and if something happens to you, I'll be restless for the rest of my life. "I'm sincere.
Brother Chengxin and Ruxue also nodded beside them, and Old Ghost Wu also answered: "It's this Li'er, Lao Zhang, you can't go next." β
Lao Zhang didn't speak, looked at me, and before I could speak, Ruxue also spoke: "Qinhuai, Ruyue, don't go with you, come with Lao Zhang." β
Ruxue didn't say anything superfluous, because I had already said the reason, and Lao Zhang's reason was the same, Qin Huai didn't say anything after listening to it, he and I have known each other for so many years, and I know in my heart that sometimes the cultivator fights, he can't help, or he will become a 'burden'.
It's just that I also see that there is a desire in Qin Huai's eyes, the tomb of the dragon, who is not eager to see it?
Compared with Qin Huai's calmness, Ruyue was excited, she put down the bowl at once, and said in a hurried tone: "Sister, I'm going, I have to go, you don't think I'm a powerless woman, right?" I am also a Gu girl from Yueyan Miao Village, my aunt taught you, and she also taught me, I just want to go. β
"Like the moon, don't be willful." Ruxue said calmly but unquestionably.
"I'm just willful, I don't have much time to spend with you, you don't have the right to deprive me of this, I have to go." Ruyue did not have the slightest intention of retreating.
Ruxue stopped talking, and Qin Huai also whispered at this time: "Chengyi, you let me accompany Ruyue, right?" Don't reject me, if you dislike me for being a burden, then forget it. β
"I" I glared at Qin Huai, and he was speechless.
Lao Zhang also said at this time: "Chengyi, I also want to go, I have been going all the way for so long, I want to accompany you to the end." β
I was silent, and then a burst of anger rushed up, snuffed out the cigarette butt fiercely, and roared: "Don't go, you think you can joke with your life, but I won't joke with your life!" This matter is decided, whether you want to stay here and wait for us, or I don't care if you leave the old forest in advance, in short, let Bai Ash follow you, there will be no danger! Not a single one is allowed to go. β
I rarely lose my temper, but this time I made up my mind, Lao Zhang didn't speak, he was reasonable, he knew that I was for his good, and Qin Huai didn't follow the nonsense, only Ruyue, a pair of big eyes full of moisture, looking at me hatefully.
At that moment, I was a little abrupt, like going back to the years when I was a child, she often pretended to be like this, but at this moment it was definitely not the time for me to be soft-hearted, I said: "It's useless for you to cry, you must be making trouble, I can really whip you." β
Ruxue didn't speak, as if she acquiesced to my words, Ruyue stomped her feet, really cried, and then turned around and ran away, Ruxue glanced at everyone apologetically, chased after her, I didn't speak, I believe that Ruxue must be reluctant to Ruyue in her heart, reluctant to the village, let them talk more, and it's good to persuade more.
"It's always sad to be separated, Lao Zhang, come, let's have a whole glass, Xiaoxi Xiaomao, Lao Wu, are looking forward to having a whole wine with my fellow countrymen, let's make it happen this time, if we come back smoothly, we will be guests at your house." Brother Chengxin suddenly took out Lao Zhang's wine bag and pretended to be happy, although the atmosphere was still a little sad.
Lao Zhang was excited, his lips were trembling, he nodded busily, and said: "Okay, you must come back, I really wait for you to come to my house as a guest, no, I will wait for you here, when the time comes, ask my daughter-in-law to make chicken stewed mushrooms, pork stewed vermicelli, good pancakes, the purest sorghum wine, all enough, let's drink a good one!" β
"Well, drink a good one." Brother Chengxin said it loudly, and he said it for all of us.
ββββββββββββββ Dividing Lineββββββββββββββββ
The sky is bright in the end, and the snow has been sprinkled since the morning, and there are six people just now, plus the team of Xiaoxi Xiaomao and Bai Gray Wu Lao Ghost, only I am left, Brother Chengxin, Ruxue took Wu Lao Ghost and Xiao Xi Xiaomao on the road.
They did not dare to follow me under my toughness, but no matter how much I tried to persuade them, they were determined to stay here and wait for us to return.
The rest of the road is not long, Lao Zhang specially pointed us over, over the small mountain range, should be the place marked on the map, he also told me, that place is absolutely mysterious, in the mountain people's statement, it is not an exaggeration to say that no one has entered for thousands of years.
Or maybe it's not an exaggeration, Dragon's Tomb!
