Chapter 7 Chapter Six

Yayin rubbed her eyes and woke up, ah, it's getting dark outside. She was hiding in the cave just now, waiting for the robbing to catch the tree spirit, and then she was tired and leaned against the stone wall. Unexpectedly, she fell asleep at some point and had a strange dream... What a distant past... She stretched her stiff limbs and sighed silently.At this moment, her heart was still immersed in the sad dream just now, she felt her nose sore, but she didn't want to shed tears for the past so long, so she bit her lower lip tightly to hold back. Just as he was lost in thought, he suddenly heard a bang outside, which was the sound of a bowstring.Yayin's heart tightened, and she heard a strange scream.The voice was so sharp and ear-piercing that it made Ya Yin tremble all over, thinking: "Brother Jie has made a move!"

She was lying on the cold mountain wall, only to hear the creaking outside which suddenly turned into a dull growl, like the wailing of a wild animal when it was wounded and dying; sometimes it became excited, like hundreds of old birds croaking together; sometimes It turned into a stern human voice again, saying over and over again: "Who are you, what hurt me!" Suddenly it turned into a heart-piercing wail... Yayin only listened for a short while, but she felt sore and unbearable everywhere in her body. She tried her best to cover her ears, but the voice became louder and louder. Stirring everywhere, or a knife scraping back and forth between all the bones in the whole body... But Yayin felt the pain as if her head was about to split open, her eyes were blood red, and she couldn't help but screamed.

As soon as she opened her mouth, there was a sudden pause in the voice, followed by a loud gurgle, and there was a loud wind at the entrance of the cave, and something rushed over. Ya Yin was startled suddenly, it was not good to yell, she just had time to pull out the dagger, when her hand tightened, she was already tightly entangled by something.Yayin pulled desperately, but the thing entangled more and more along her arm. She was so frightened that she forgot to use the dagger, and just kept backing away.Suddenly, her feet tightened, and she was pulled violently, Yayin couldn't stand anymore, and fell on her back.She fell so that golden flowers flashed in front of her eyes, and she yelled loudly: "Jie!"

Suddenly, that strength disappeared without a trace.It disappeared so quickly, Yayin screamed for a long time before realizing it.I only heard Shu Jie say outside: "Stop screaming, little girl, come out and get your dryad." Yayin pulled hard, and the things wrapped around her hands and feet just now fell off one after another, her heart kept beating, and she crawled out.The moonlight was like water outside, Yayin only felt her eyes brighten up, and when she looked back, she realized that what was entangled with her just now turned out to be the shrubs that sealed the entrance of the cave.Shu Jie crouched beside the trap, saw her coming, stood up and said, "Didn't I tell you to keep quiet? The dryad almost caught you just now."

Yayin rubbed her chest and said, "It's so...so scary...you don't even know, just now...ah, is this a dryad?" I saw an arm-sized tree root in the trap, which was caught by the criss-crossing spikes in the pit, and the arrow I cut was stuck in it.Shu Jie said: "Don't underestimate it, this is the tree spirit with the deepest cultivation I have ever seen, look, it is almost in human form." He picked up the tree root, and Ya Yin carefully looked closer, and sure enough, he saw the Four twigs protrude from it, like human limbs, and there are parts similar to head and chest.On the head, there are faint facial features.Shu Jie said: "If it wasn't caught by the spikes in the trap, once it climbed up, it would be very difficult to subdue."

Shiyin didn't expect to attract such a powerful thing, she was happy and afraid, she still didn't dare to touch it, and asked: "It...it can speak human language now. Why did it scream for so long just now? I have a terrible headache Already!" Shujie said: "Your arrow is too soft, it didn't shoot through it, it went mad for a while, and attacked in all directions, the surrounding trees were controlled by it, and it caught us. I hid on the mountain wall behind, I wanted to wait It will subdue it after its energy dissipates, but when you call, I have to strike ahead of schedule."

Ya Yin said: "Oh... ah... Then, did it see you?" Shu Jie smiled and said, "It's okay. It's useless to curse me. Come on, weave a rope out of grass and carry it away." Shi Yin wove a rope with wormwood, and Shu Jie tightly entangled the tree spirit, and went to get that piece of agarwood again.Ya Yin hurriedly said: "Wait! Just bury it in the pit." Shu Jie said: "Didn't you fish it out of the water so hard? Such agarwood is very precious." Shi Yin looked up at the surrounding trees, and said: "We caught a tree spirit. It is a child of the forest. The forest is so pitiful. It would be good to bury the agarwood here and let them replenish their vitality." He said squatting in the pit side, buried the agarwood.

The moon has risen very high, and the dense forest is noisy instead, with chirping insects, chirping birds, and grunting sounds of macaques who are unwilling to be lonely.Sometimes there was one or two roars of tigers, or the whining of wolves, which made people feel chills on their backs.The biting valley wind never ceases, whistling back and forth between the forest spring and the stone wall, as if the forest is breathing loudly, sometimes panting twice.Shi Yin grasped Shu Jie's hand tightly, and said, "I... let's go!" When Yayin came, she never expected to stay so late, there was no fire on her body, some places in the woods were illuminated by moonlight, and the ground could barely be seen, and more places were tightly covered by tall trees, pitch black one slice.Ya Yin walked with one foot deep and one foot shallow, and had not walked far enough to bump into stones several times, the pain piercing her bones, but she didn't dare to cry out, for fear of attracting tigers and wolves.Suddenly, Shu Jie behind him said: "You can't see the way, can you?"

Shi Yin said in a low voice: "Hush...keep your voice down! My mother said that if there is a beast in Luocui Valley, if it finds it, it will surely die!" Suddenly he felt that Shu Jie behind him strode to the front, squatted down, and couldn't help bumping into his back.Just as she was about to retreat, Shu Jie had already picked her up.Yayin said: "You... what are you doing?" Shu Jie smiled and said, "If you walk slowly like this, you won't be able to get out until dawn." He said and strode forward.Yayin thought for a while, secretly revealed a smug smile, honestly leaned on his shoulder, and said, "It's so dark, can you see it?"

Shujie said: "I have a third eye, which only sees things in the dark." Shi Yin patted him and said, "Hmph, you know how to brag. You lied to me when you were a child that you were transformed from a dragon. How can there be a dragon?" Telling lies like you?" Shu Jie laughed loudly and said, "Really? There are so many dragons who tell lies!" Shi Yin said urgently: "Don't laugh out loud, there really are divine beasts here! You are walking so fast, can you really see them?" She only felt that in such a dark dense forest, instead of falling down, Shu Jie could walk like flying , I was a little surprised.Shujie said: "Didn't you say that I lied to others? Why did you believe it again?" Shi Yin put her arms around his neck and said with some regret: "I want to believe it, but I can't believe it...you only have Sophora japonica blooming every year I just came here and left after staying for more than ten days. I... I... This year is the thirteenth year I have known you, but I feel that you are becoming more and more unfamiliar. Who are you and where are you from? You always say I came here to visit my mother, but no one in the village knows which family you are from. My mother said that the surname Shu is a nobleman from the Ba Kingdom, but do you look like a nobleman?"

Shu Jie said indifferently: "You have grown up. The first time I carried you on my back was more than ten years ago." Yayin sighed from the bottom of his heart, knowing that he was still unwilling to answer, so he stopped talking now.Shu Jie also went on his way with a sullen head, and soon came to the place where he abandoned his boat and landed in the afternoon.Shu Jie looked around: "Oops, the bamboo raft has been washed away." Shi Yin jumped down, stomped her feet and said, "Then... what should I do? Can't I go back tonight? I... I don't want to stay in this forest." In the dark forest, I couldn't help trembling. The cold moonlight is reflected in the stream, and the stream is gurgling, and the light is projected onto the smooth rock wall opposite.Light and shadow flow endlessly on the rock wall, like water.Shu Jie walked to the edge of the water and looked at the rock wall thoughtfully, so the water flowed into his eyes again.Yayin secretly looked at his face from the side, and the brilliance flowing in his eyes, she felt a little crazy in her heart, and then a trace of sadness hit the tip of her nose, she felt that the man in front of her was like a bright moon, and she... was just a shadow on the stone wall. film.Mingyue will only stay on this valley for a short while each time, and then disappear, and she will also hide in the darkness, foolishly waiting for the next reincarnation... Her nose was so sore that she was about to shed tears, and suddenly she heard Shujie say: "I seem to feel... behind this sitting mountain is Yacun, isn't it?" Shi Yin hurriedly turned her head and said: "I... how do I know? The stone wall is so steep, but no one has ever climbed it to see it. Anyway, I'm afraid we won't be able to walk tonight. Let's find a big tree and wait until dawn to talk about it. Bar." Shu Jie smiled and said: "Isn't it easy to go back? Let those who can climb up carry us? Just promise me that no matter what you see later, don't tell others, and I will take you out of the valley. " Yayin turned her head and was about to offend him for bragging, but was shocked by the unusual light in his eyes, was stunned for a moment, and nodded involuntarily.Shujie seemed to be aware of his expression, squinted his eyes a few times, and returned to his usual lazy look, and said with a smile, "Little trick, look at it, it's very interesting!" He raised his right hand, pondered for a while, and drew out of thin air with his index finger.A light blue light suddenly appeared in the night, as if it was a bright thread pulled out by his fingers, it was not dazzling, but it was stronger than the light of ordinary lamps and candles.Ya Yin was taken aback, Shu Jie didn't wait for her to ask, and swiped his fingers quickly. In just a moment, a pattern composed of bright lines appeared in front of Ya Yin's eyes out of thin air. It looked like some kind of text, but he couldn't understand it. . "This... what is this?" "A rune." "But..." Yayin rubbed her eyes vigorously, and said, "Don't runes have to be engraved on the tortoise shell or painted on the skin? How could it be drawn out of thin air?" "Didn't we have none?" Shu Jie looked aggrieved, and hugged Ya Yin as he spoke.Shi Yin said: "What... are you doing again?" Shu Jie smiled and said: "The night is cold and the dew is heavy, the water is already very cold. If I take you back with you who is sick, your mother will scold me again." Shi Yin said "Humph, my mother... when did she ever scold you?" She wanted to say, "I love you so much." But when she got to the point of her mouth, she suddenly couldn't speak, and changed her words in a hurry. Pretending to be angry, he turned his head aside. Gu Feng grinned, blowing past the two of them, and the pattern composed of bright lines actually shook a few times, as if it was really a piece of paper.Yayin looked at the blue runes, and remembered that Sanbo, the most powerful man in the village, had to work hard for several months to draw a single rune, and felt even more incredible.After a while, he suddenly said in surprise: "Ah! Disappeared!" The pattern quickly faded from bottom to top, and completely melted into the night in a short time.The moment it disappeared, Ya Yin only felt her body shake violently. She was about to scream, but seeing Shu Jie still looked calm, she stopped her mouth immediately, and looked around, everything was as usual, as if nothing had happened... No... still something is wrong... what is it?She only felt uncomfortable all over her body, but she couldn't tell what was wrong.Surprised, she broke free from Shu Jie's embrace, jumped down to the ground, and with a loud splash, Lao Gao's water was stirred up. When does the water rise above the knees?Shi Yin was a little confused, she was clearly standing on the shore just now?She turned her head to look again, ah, really, the rock wall that was originally separated by more than ten feet has moved a lot closer at some point.No... how could the rock wall move?It should have moved into the water by itself, close to the rock wall... "No." Shu Jie said: "Don't doubt it, you didn't move at all. It's just that a rock has arrived beside you." Yayin raised her head and saw a rock giant with a height of fifteen or six feet.
