PNB Chapter 79 Big Black Wolf [4]
Chapter 79 Big Black Wolf [4]
Although the little Taoist kept persuading Su Chi to leave on his own, he still followed the two of them all the way into the bandit mountain.
The same mountains, flowers, plants and trees are the same, the only difference is that the mountains over there raise people, while the mountains here raise demons.
On the way, the little Taoist babbled about his life experience to Su Chi, saying that he was an orphan who was picked up by his master and fed him with bowls of rice and clear soup. He also said that his master was a little old man who always followed him Another old man, the little old man chattered all day long, and the old man couldn't say a word for a long time. Every time he went to catch the demon, the little old man was always worried and wanted to follow the stalker. The old man never said anything. To help and persuade, it was the little old man who said where to go, so he took a cane and followed without saying a word.
The little Taoist said with emotion: "After so many years, I finally realized that my little old man and the old man actually have this kind of relationship."
He spoke with the expression of a good student who has finally solved the puzzle that has been entangled for many years, with a little pride, a little relief, and a little loss.
Su Chi didn't answer his words, her attention was completely attracted by the wolf demon in front of her.
The wolf demon stopped and stood motionless in front of a cluster of bright red wild flowers.
When Su Chi got closer, he realized that the flowers blooming brilliantly in the barren mountains and old forests turned out to be a cluster of bright elixir flowers.
The wolf demon looked down at the flowers in a daze, with a dazed expression, not knowing what was going on in his mind.
Su Chi folded a small four-petaled flower from the flower cluster, and pinned it on the wolf demon's black-haired messy ear on tiptoe.The wolf demon raised its eyeballs and looked up vigorously, but didn't dare to move its body, but its ears trembled accidentally in the end, so the little flower was shaken off and landed on the green grass.
"Oh." Su Chi whispered.
The wolf demon looked from the little flowers on the grass to Su Chi's face.
Su Chi smiled lightly and said, "I also dropped it last time."
The last time she brought back the elixir flower given by Zhong Kui from the hospital, and gave it to everyone as a divided body, Xiao Long also wanted to clip it to the ear, but she couldn't get it right, and finally made the little flower wilt into a dark color.
When Su Chi was speaking, the wolf monster tilted its head and stared at her seriously. When Su Chi finished speaking, it stretched out its thick and strong monster claws, and awkwardly broke off a delicate elixir flower , raised his finger and handed it to Su Chi.
Su Chi took the flower, and there was light flowing in his eyes.
"Ahem!" The little Taoist was far away, seeing this scene, he couldn't help interrupting, "Shall we go or not?"
Su Chi held his own flowers, although he didn't speak, he was happy.
The wolf demon continued to move forward.
---
The wolf demon in the front, Su Chi in the middle, and the little Taoist priest in the back, these three people formed a line, passing through the grove, crossing the small stream, over the small hill, and finally stood in front of a huge valley .
The little Taoist pointed to the devastated valley under his toes, and said with a pursed mouth: "The Ten Thousand Demons' Tomb is under here. If you want to turn back, there is still time."
"Ten Thousand Demons Tomb?" Su Chi leaned forward suspiciously, and said, "Isn't this just a barren valley?"
The little Taoist smiled and didn't explain much.
The wolf demon found the path down the valley, and had already left. Su Chi chased after him a few steps, and followed him down. The little Taoist priest who fell behind sighed, shook his head, and walked towards that place.
When Su Chi stood on the top of the valley and looked down, she could clearly see the cracked land at the bottom of the valley, as well as a few sporadic and deformed small trees, but as she walked down, the greenery she saw in front of her eyes It became more and more verdant, and the ground under the feet was also covered by fresh green grass and beautiful flowers. The fresh and moist air that belongs to nature can be smelled in the air, and the fragrance of birds and flowers is everywhere, which is too beautiful to behold.
"This place is so beautiful, how could it be the Tomb of the Thousand Demons?" Su Chi asked.
The little Taoist behind him sneered, and said, "If you go further, you will know whether the Ten Thousand Monster Tomb is beautiful or not."
Su Chi continued to move forward in the valley like a forest park. The originally moist and fresh air gradually thinned out. The greenness under his feet was like the ebb tide of sea water, and there was more dry and hot boiling air in the air.
The wolf demon walking in the front stopped.
Su Chi approached it, and was surprised to find that there were two completely different worlds in front of the wolf demon and behind him. The old rag, under the sky, are large pieces of bones buried in the soil.
The dark land, the white bones.
It was a sight only in hell.
Behind the wolf demon, what Su Chi saw was still sunny, spring flowers and summer grass.
The distance between before and after is like a dream.
And the wolf demon stepped on the line in the middle of the dream.
Although Su Chi didn't have supernatural powers, she had once entered the realm of consciousness with Xiao Long, and she was not panicked in the face of such a wonderful world. "Which of these two sides is an illusion? Which is real?" She asked the little Taoist.
"Not bad, I also know that there is the art of illusion." The little Taoist smiled strangely: "Unfortunately, both sides are real."
"Both sides are real?" Su Chi wondered, "Could it be a natural scene?"
"It's not a natural sight." The little Taoist said, "I told you that this is the Tomb of the Thousand Demons. As the name suggests, this is the tomb of monsters. Hundreds of monsters were imprisoned and suppressed in this valley, and people buried them with soil. , in order to calm down the grievances of the monsters, they continue to sacrifice people and offer food to the monsters underground, so the bones you see are real bones, and they are the thousands of people who died in this valley Humans and monsters."
The land full of grievances has deposited countless blood and corpses. With thousands of years of time, it has become the real hell it is today.
"What about this side?" Su Chi asked, pointing to the green mountains and green waters behind him.
The little Taoist explained: "The monsters were imprisoned in the hell, and they lived a life that was worse than death. Later, a nine-tailed fox in the tomb exhausted its life and covered the entire Ten Thousand Monster Tomb with the nine-tailed fox's fate illusion. land, and turned hell into the heaven you see before your eyes."
"Since it's an illusion, how can it be real?" Su Chi was puzzled.
"Although the illusion is fake, the people in it are willing to believe that it is real. Over time, all of this will become real." The little Taoist smiled with emotion: "My master once knew a magic trick when he was young. The nine-tailed fox, the old man told me, if one day I can see a nine-tailed fox, then I can truly understand the true and false in the world, there is gray between black and white, and that layer of gray is the real truth People's hearts."
Su Chi glanced at the longing little Taoist priest, and then at the black wolf demon standing blankly, thinking, you have actually seen the nine-tailed fox, but you only regarded it as a wolf.
No wonder your master said that you don't know what is true and what is false, and you no longer understand black and white.
The wolf demon who had been standing still suddenly moved. It raised its legs and took a step towards the hell in front of it.
"Little cage?" Su Chi followed behind the wolf monster, looking at it puzzled.
"Eh?" The little Taoist suddenly said, pointing at the wolf demon's feet in surprise, "What is that?"
Su Chi lowered his head.
Right at the foot of the wolf monster, with every step it took, one piece after another of bluestone bricks was laid out on the dark ground in an elegant and simple manner, and then, two dust puffs appeared on both sides of the bluestone road. The fluttering small wall, with blue bricks and black tiles on the wall, is as beautiful as the quiet alley in Jiangnan Yu Town.
From the depths of the alley where the white mist curled up, a clear and clear cry came out.
Su Chi was fine, but the little Taoist priest behind him was astonished and could not utter a single word.
Behind the misty white mist, a middle-aged man walked towards them with a load carrying a load through the fog.
The middle-aged man selling groceries stopped in front of the wolf demon and Su Chi, put the load away, wiped the fine beads of sweat on his forehead, and said with a smile, "You two girls, do you want to buy a hairpin? I will do it myself." Yes, beautiful and generous."
Su Chi was just surprised at first, and then turned to the wolf demon beside him in shock.
There is no wolf demon by her side.
Beside her stood Xiaolong with white hair.
"...Xiao Long?" Su Chi stretched out her hand in disbelief, wanting to touch Xiao Long's soft-looking white hair, but she was stopped by the little Taoist just as she stretched out her hand.
The little Taoist was a little frightened, he looked around cautiously, and said: "The Tomb of the Thousand Demons has been destroyed, this is an illusion, you'd better not touch anything."
Sure enough, as soon as the little Taoist finished speaking, the amiable uncle in front of him disappeared immediately, and even the bluestone alley under their feet disappeared.
But the fantasy is not over yet.
Because of a new illusion, it was born again.
This time, Su Chi unexpectedly felt familiar with the people who appeared in the illusion—even though she didn't know any of them.
"My God!" The little Taoist was shocked by the scene in front of him and was incoherent, "This is... what did I see?"
Just in front of Su Chi, there is a raised hillside. On the top of the hillside, there is only a peach blossom tree that is rapidly decaying. From the root to the branch, to every peach blossom, it is a kind of death that is withered and decayed. Power prevents its demise.
Under the peach blossom tree, a young man in a state of embarrassment was digging the earth with all his strength, just like digging someone's ancestral grave.
There were two women at the foot of the hillside, one was crawling towards the hillside covered in blood, and the other was standing behind her with desolate eyes.
Su Chi looked at the woman behind and was surprised to find that the young woman's eyebrows and eyes looked like a cage.
The earth shook, thousands of monsters howled, and the whole world seemed to be held in the palm of the hand by the god of death, kneading and crushing, and doing whatever they wanted.
Soon, the young man under the peach blossom tree took out a small white bone from the ground.
Su Chi was far away, and felt that the bone did not look like a human, but rather resembled a puppy.
"...the fox..." The little Taoist swallowed and murmured, "...that is the nine-tailed fox..."
Hearing the little Taoist's voice, Su Zhi turned his head to look at Xiaolong beside him, a cold light flashed in his mind, and he was enlightened.
She finally understood why the wolf demon wanted to come to the Ten Thousand Demon Tomb wholeheartedly.
