Chapter 83(1/2)
The more he walked towards the west, the more shocked Du Heng became. Before, he could use his spiritual sense to observe the battle situation next to the barrier, but when his spiritual sense was wrapped in spiritual energy, he looked like watching TV. Although he also felt like he was in the scene, he was not as straightforward as his eyes saw.
The water of the Shitou River at the foot of the West Mountain has been dyed black and red by blood. Some monsters have discovered that there is no barrier near the Peizhu Forest and are walking towards the Peizhu Forest. The sound of the Peizhu Forest bursting came, and before they could even reach Jing Nan's house, they could hear continuous bursting sounds.
Jing Nan was drowsy, and Du Heng had to bend down to make him lie on his back. He had to look back and smile while running. He couldn't see a touch of golden color behind him, so he was so anxious.
In desperation, Du Heng's mind flashed, and he shouted: "Xiaoxiao! Just run a few steps and shout, let me know that you are following me!"
After hearing this, Xiaoxiao started to chirp. Listening to the tender chirping sounds, Du Heng's heart came to fruition. The most important person he was by his side, and he had to keep a one-and-two-year-old vigilance.
Soon Du Heng entered Pei Bamboo Forest. Usually, there were bursts inside the bamboo forest. Today's burst sound came from outside the bamboo forest. The bamboo fragrance was mixed with a strong smell of blood. Listening to the wailing of monsters in his ears, Du Heng felt that his heart was about to jump out of his mouth.
He regretted it, he should have carried out a lamp. The spiritual energy in the bamboo forest was mixed with the miasma on the monsters. The miasma could corrode the spiritual energy, and his spiritual consciousness felt a vague pain when it was released.
He had never walked the road ahead, and the sound of wind and wild beasts coming from his ears seemed to echo in his ears. Fortunately, the sound of laughter was cheering him up, and Du Heng did not dare to turn back with Xiaowonton's steps.
The Peizhu Forest is quite big. After Du Heng went deeper, he realized that what he usually saw was just a drop in the bull. The small roads in the forest were well connected, and if you take the wrong one, you might take everyone to the monsters. At the critical moment, Du Heng could trust only Xiaowonton. Xiaowonton followed Xuan Yu to the back mountain several times before, and Du Heng felt that it should know the way up the mountain.
Wonton is indeed dedicated to his heart and responsibility. In the past, he was unwilling to accept the monster and rushed up to fight against the monster. Today he has been running ten feet away in front of Du Heng. When he saw Du Heng falling behind, it stopped and waited for Du Heng.
I don’t know if Du Heng was exhausted or Jing Nan was getting heavier, but Du Heng felt that he was pressing on his body was not a person, but a mountain. Du Heng felt that his back was hot and heavy. When he turned around, he saw a golden flame mark appeared on Jing Nan’s forehead.
Jing Nan's hand was placed on Du Heng's shoulder, revealing her robe's fingers were long and beautiful. However, as the golden mark deepened, Jing Nan's fingernails began to stretch. After a closer look, fine fluff grew on her smooth skin.
The corners of Jing Nan's mouth were covered with blood, and Du Heng's shoulders were stained with blood, but because of his nervousness, Du Heng knew nothing!
Du Heng suddenly panicked. He did not dare to put Jing Nan in the dangerous bamboo forest. He could only climb up the mountain with all his might: "Jing Nan, Jing Nan, you hold on! Jing Nan! Nan Nan!"
When Jing Nan heard the words "Nan Nan", he was shocked. He said something intermittently, but his voice was too low, and Du Heng only heard the words "Don't Go".
Du Heng was anxious, and at this time Xiaoxiao's voice suddenly stopped. Du Heng thought that Xiaoxiao had something unexpected, so he looked back and saw Xiaoxiao with a mouth full of whimper.
Seeing Du Heng look at him, Xiaoxiao coughed aggrievedly. He stretched out his neck and then coughed out a beetle as big as a finger.
Du Heng:...I was so embarrassed that I smiled and ran and shouted.
Du Heng thought of another solution: "Xiaoxiao, run to me and run with Xiaowonton so that I can see you."
Xiaoxiao nodded, and he jumped and ran behind Xiaowonton like a golden lantern. Du Heng couldn't help but think that when he first saw Xiaoxiao, he was also in the darkness. Xiaoxiao jumped like a lantern. Du Heng's whole world was lit!
He wanted to slap himself. Did he slap his brain before? Why did he let Xiaoxiao shout from behind? Could he run faster than Xiaoxiao?
Du Heng never felt so tired, and the spiritual energy in his dantian was shaking again. When the spiritual energy was shaking, he should have stopped to run the exercises. The exercises would further squeeze his spiritual energy until he formed a pill. But he didn't have this condition now, and he felt that his body was like a hole, and the spiritual energy was constantly sucked away by Jing Nan on his back.
Jing Nan transformed into a huge vortex of spiritual energy, and even the spiritual energy of Pei Zhulin was sucked away by Jing Nan. However, the spiritual energy released by Jing Nan was even more domineering. The spiritual energy released by the warm Jing Nan washed away ten times and a hundred times, and Du Heng felt that his body was infected by Jing Nan's spiritual energy.
A large amount of fire and water aura was mixed into the pure earth and wood aura in his body. These auras were mixed into his liquid aura and swept into his dantian. Every step he took, Du Heng felt that the dantian was about to tear apart.
Jing Nan was hot and heavy, and he had no consciousness and knew how to touch Du Heng. Du Heng listened to Jing Nan's low murmur and the word "Don't leave", and the pain in his heart overwhelmed the pain in his body.
He responded to Jing Nan: "If you don't leave, I won't leave. Don't worry."
The road in Beishan is difficult to walk, narrow and steep, and there are faults between some steps, which are only ten feet apart, and you need to jump up to jump over. Du Heng didn't know how many times he lifted his qi, and the pain in his dantian had become numb. The bursting sound of Pei Zhu in his ears was getting closer and closer, and Du Heng felt his vision blurred.
The battle next to the barrier continued, and the roar of monsters and the angrily cursed Lao Dao Chonghua faintly came. How did the two people resist these tens of millions of monsters? Du Heng could only pray that the two of them could last longer withstand the advanced cultivation level.
Gradually, the vegetation next to the mountain road became less and less. Under the silver moonlight, Du Heng saw a light ball appearing on the top of the mountain! At some point, he had climbed to the place close to the top of the mountain. When he turned around, he saw that a layer of lead clouds was shrouded in the sky in the village. The spiritual light of the barrier under the lead clouds flashed from time to time.
It was already very close to the top of the mountain, but the Pei Zhu Forest, which could protect them, had already come to this point. The last bush of Pei Zhu appeared gracefully beside the mountain road at his feet. It bent all the bamboos with all heart and responsibilities, and then in Du Heng's terrified eyes, the bamboo suddenly waved towards the approaching army of monsters.
The monsters that caught up with were beaten by Pei Zhu, and the pickups were rolled down the mountain, but more monsters climbed up.
Du Heng's pupils shrank, and they came chasing Jing Nan!
Now, Jing Nan is like a fruit with sweet juice flowing in the eyes of the monsters, luring the monsters to come crazy. If they are caught by the monsters, Jing Nan's life will be over!
Thinking of this, Du Heng came from somewhere. It was not that he had no spiritual energy, he just felt that spiritual energy was not picky about his appetite and body. Now he couldn't care about anything. He didn't care about whether the spiritual energy in his dantian was pure or not. He used the spiritual energy to gather it directly on his feet.
His speed suddenly increased, and in an instant he exceeded Xiaoxiao in front of him. The moment he exceeded Xiaoxiao, Du Heng stretched out his foot and hooked Xiaoxiao. Xiaoxiao felt a force flying towards Du Heng's back.
Du Heng said to Xiaoxiao: "Xiaoxiao, hurry up! Xiao wonton, let's rush it!!" Xiaoxiao grabbed Jing Nan's hair suddenly: "Jiuchi!!"
Jing Nan vomited a mouthful of blood in a coma:...
Human potential is infinite. If you see monsters, Du Heng will be weak and unable to walk. Now, with Jing Nan and Xiaoxiao on their backs, Du Heng can even compete with monsters at a speed!
There was a squid behind him chasing him relentlessly, and he saw that the squid was about to rush behind Du Heng. At this time, the wonton suddenly turned around and it rushed towards the squid fiercely.
Du Heng only saw the wontons quickly turning into a stream of light and rushing down from him. He was shocked: "Wontons!"
He looked back and saw wontons and bars rolling into a ball and mingling towards the foot of the mountain. Du Heng stopped for a moment, and at this time he heard Xuan Yu's voice: "Go to the Saint Temple, don't stop!"
With Xiaowonton, he tried to get Du Heng to go up the mountain. When Du Heng felt that he was about to die, he finally saw the gate of the Saint Temple.
There are two blue-black stone pillars in front of the Saint Temple, with circling dragons carved on them. When Du Heng stepped into the territory behind the stone pillar, a golden barrier rose on the stone pillar.
Du Heng could only feel a powerful spiritual energy swaying. Before he could climb to the top of the mountain, the monsters who had no time to climb to the top of the mountain were all swept away by this array of spiritual energy. They rolled down from the top of the mountain like balls. Du Heng's whole body trembled, and he could no longer carry Jing Nan on his body.
Du Heng protected Jing Nan's head and carefully placed him on the ground. Jing Nan's consciousness became a little clearer: "Go...inside...help me up..."
Du Heng was worried about the little wonton, but he knew that he would listen to Jing Nan at this time. He turned his head and looked at the path, and saw another monster crawling up on the path. Thinking of the little wonton, Du Heng's eyes turned red. But looking at Jing Nan and Xiaoxiao, Du Heng gritted his teeth and helped Jing Nan up: "Can you stand up?"
Jing Nan's breathing was as heavy as a cow, and half of his body was resting on Du Heng: "The last time he gave birth to his tail was in the Saint Temple, but I didn't expect... he was still here this time."
After passing the stone pillar, you can see a majestic black door. The door was three meters tall. Du Heng stood in front of the door and felt like an ant. The door was closed tightly, but when Jing Nan and the others walked towards the door step by step, the door opened.
A thick creaking sound came, and the light of the inspiration broke out at the door fell between Du Heng and Jing Nan. When the door was fully opened, Jing Nan looked back at the direction of the stone pillar: "Don't worry, the little wonton will be fine, let's go in and wait for it first."
Every step Jing Nan took was extremely painful. When he crossed the threshold, Jing Nan couldn't hold it in his mouth and spurted out a mouthful of blood. The blood scared Du Heng's soul so much that he flew: "Jing Nan!!"
Jing Nan covered her mouth and coughed, and the bright red blood fell down his fingers. When his coughing was temporarily relieved, he pointed to the threshold: "Go inside, inside."
There is a huge square directly opposite the threshold, with octagonal shapes. Sixty-four steles stand on the edge, and some stars are engraved on the steles, which look like star maps. The most amazing thing is that on the ground of the square, the ground looks like a mirror reflecting the sky. The stars in the sky seem to fall on the ground, and you can also see rotating nebula on the ground.
If he saw this scene, Du Heng would be so shocked that he could not speak, and then he would be astonished as a countryman entering the city. But now he was not in the mood to appreciate this amazing scenery. He just wanted to take Jing Nan through the square to the majestic and solemn Saint Temple behind.
Just as Du Heng pulled Jing Nan and was about to pass through the square, Jing Nan shook his head: "Don't go...inside...go outside..."
Du Heng quickly understood what Jing Nan meant. His meaning was not to walk from the square. Maybe he couldn't stand the formation in the square. He looked to the left and right and saw a tall corridor next to the square. Xiaoxiao was already standing in the corridor on the left waiting for Du Heng. Du Heng half-hunting Jing Nan: "Can you still stick to it Jing Nan?"
Jing Nan nodded tiredly, and black circles appeared under his eyes: "No problem... go..."
The corridor is not as clean as the square. There are many fish scales on it, but these things are many times larger than fish scales, and each piece looks bigger than a basin. It is difficult to see the complete things, they are all broken, like inferior plastic products. Walking on it, you can stomp it down with one foot.
The whole corridor is full of this kind of thing. I believe that the powder accumulated in the corridor is formed after these things are broken. There are a lot of fragments in some places, so Xiaoxiao walked over and formed a passage.
Jing Nan's breathing became louder and louder, and Du Heng had to stop several times to let him rest. Fortunately, he brought the refrigerator with him, which contained water and food. Jing Nan drank some water, and he leaned on Du Heng as if he was exhausted.
It should be the second half of the night now. Du Heng had gone to bed at this time. But today he not only did not sleep, but he was still running away with his family. Before the little wonton came back, Du Heng estimated that it was in danger. When he thought of the little wonton, Du Heng's eyes began to be sour. But he couldn't cry. There were Lao Dao and Chonghua who were fighting against monsters at the foot of the mountain. What qualifications did he have to cry?
Du Heng took out the handkerchief and wiped the blood on Jing Nan's lips and neck. His soft long hair became messy. Du Heng also carefully combed it for him. Jing Nan squinted his eyes and felt Du Heng's movements: "Xiaoheng..."
Du Heng responded: "Well, I'm here."
Jing Nan pulled out an apologetic smile: "I'm sorry for you, I've got you involved... such a bad thing." As soon as he finished speaking, Jing Nan frowned, his head tilted, and a mouthful of blood flowed down the corners of his lips.
Du Heng kept telling himself that he was not qualified to cry, but when he saw Jing Nan's blood, his tears fell off guard. Afraid that Jing Nan and Xiaoxiao felt sad when they saw it, he quickly lowered his head and wiped his tears with his sleeves: "This is nothing, it's not you who should be sorry, it's those monsters."
Jing Nan's smile became lighter: "Well... it's their fault for those monsters... We could have lived happily..."
Du Heng wiped the blood from the corner of Jing Nan's lips: "We can live happily in the future. We are all one. With you, Xiaoyu, Fenggui and Xiaoxiao. There are also wontons and gooses. I will make a lot of delicious dishes for you. You plant a lot of spiritual plants. Fenggui doesn't have to run out often..."
Jing Nan imagined the scene, and his expression became lighter: "It's so good..."
After sniffing for a while, Jing Nan became a little energetic. His hands had turned into fox claws. He stretched out his claws to Du Heng: "Help me up, let's continue walking inside."
Du Heng's whole body was sore now, his spiritual energy was shaking violently, and he used all his strength to help Jing Nan up. Jing Nan apologized again: "I'm sorry... I'm very heavy, right?"
Du Heng was amused and crying: "Whatever these are all words, it's all my fault for not having the strength. If I were like Xiaoyu, we would have been in the temple long ago, so you shouldn't suffer so much."
Jing Nan sighed: "This is the weight given to me by time, and I can't control it anymore. Don't enter the temple later. Just walk directly from the back of the temple. There is a small courtyard behind it, and there is a room inside. Let's go there."
The place Jing Nan said was behind the Saint Temple. After walking through three connected buildings, Du Heng found a small door on the wall behind the temple. When Du Heng walked near the small door, the small door opened automatically.
Xiaoxiao jumped into the small door first, Du Heng helped Jing Nan and then entered the door. As soon as he entered the door, Du Heng was stunned.
In his imagination, the small room behind the temple should be like a wing room. He never dreamed that a thatched hut with lights appeared in front of him!
It seems that this scene has been seen somewhere. Du Heng thought about it carefully, and soon he remembered it. On New Year's Eve, Feng Gui's puppet performed a show for everyone, and one of the scenes was this thatched hut. In the thatched hut, there was a chicken and a fox dog waiting for their master to come back, and then the master brought back a small snake...
Du Heng suddenly came to his senses, so... the chicken is Feng Gui, the little fox is Jing Nan, and the little snake is Xuan Yu! And that man is Qing Heng. So after the saint dies, his three beads will be obtained by his three spiritual pets!
Jing Nan's body fell forward: "I... am back..."
Du Heng took the effort to support Jing Nan. Jing Nan's voice was full of satisfaction and expectation, and a smile appeared on his face.
Du Heng couldn't help but be stunned. The significance of the Saint Temple to Jing Nan and the others is not as simple as commemorating the Saint Qingheng. There is their former home here! For some reason, Du Heng's eyes were filled with tears. Seeing the dilapidated thatched hut, Du Heng felt a feeling that he had arrived home.
There is only one bed and a square table inside the thatched hut. The dilapidated thatched hut should have been repaired countless times. Although the bed is simple in style, Jing Nan's heavy hut did not shake even when he lay on it.
Du Heng put the bedding sheets brought from home on the bed. He asked Jing Nan to lie on the bed and covered him with a quilt.
The oil lamp on the table was shining with bean-like light. Xiaoxiao sat on the long bench next to the table. He was exhausted. A beetle flew into his throat before, and he still felt uncomfortable in his throat.
And he was also hungry. During the day, he was worried that monsters would attack the village. He only ate two bowls of cold skin. He had not eaten dinner and had walked so many ways. Now that he was safe, Xiaoxiao's stomach began to roar. His demon pill began to stir, and the heat wave swept over Xiaoxiao's body again. He wanted to eat popsicles.
Du Heng heard Xiaoxiao's stomach purr. He wiped Jing Nan's face and hands and also wiped Xiaoxiao's face: "Are you hungry? Want to eat something?"
Xiaoxiao thought for a while: "Jiujiu..." He wanted to eat something cold and sweet.
Du Heng said: "Eating popsicles at night is not good for the stomach. How about I give you some tremella soup? Is it good to pair it with a little refreshing mung bean cake?"
Xiaoxiao nodded, and soon a large bowl of tremella seed soup appeared in front of him. There was a plate of mung bean cakes made into the shape of flowers in front of the soup. Xiaoxiao pierced into the bowl and started drinking the soup. Du Heng had no appetite at all. He thought of Lao Dao and Chonghua who were fighting at the foot of the mountain, the little wontons with uncertain life and death, and Xuan Yu and Feng Gui who were not sure where they were.
The cool tremlin soup reflected Du Heng's blurred face. In a flash, two tears fell into the soup bowl. Du Heng wiped his tears, but he couldn't eat them. He wanted to go to the temple to take a look. What if the wontons come back? What if Chonghua and the others also went up the mountain?
To be continued...
