Hunting Heart Little Mengxian: Rebirth and Raising a Wolf

Chapter 41

For the piece of blue branch jade, in the past 17 years of Shaohua, Huangfu Yi has always regarded it as a priceless treasure that is close to him. Now that he has lost it and found it again, he naturally has to take care of it even more, and he dare not let it leave his body. half a cent.

However, Huangfuyi knew well that if something unexpected happened to that Yu Jinwen in the future and he passed away suddenly, with Jiu Xiaohan's personality, she would definitely ask "Liang Ziyu" to get it back, and with her The last so-called "sword ear jade pendant" left to her by the "big brother" who met by chance and entrusted her descendants.

It's just that he doesn't know what Jiu Xiaohan really thinks in his heart.

In fact, Jiu Xiaohan also has such worries:

If, this time, she was not feeling good about her master's illness, she didn't intend to live on.

She had already understood the intention of fifth senior brother Wu Yu to give her the sword tassel and jade pendant, but she didn't think that this small item hadn't become fifth senior brother's relic, so she probably wouldn't have the good fortune to enjoy it.

In addition, just now, what Liang Ziyu said was enough for her and him to buy two decent shrouds, coffins and other excuses.

Although, it can be heard that Liang Ziyu's words were just unintentional, but it made Jiu Xiaohan feel inexplicably uncomfortable in her heart, and the bursts of hidden worries filled her with many unknown uneasiness.

Although, on weekdays, Master Wuweizi does not allow Jiu Xiaohan to participate in or know about the related missions that other senior brothers are responsible for, but this does not mean that Jiu Xiaohan will not learn a thing or two from other channels.

The "bounty hunters" hand-picked by the royal family like them, the "monster chasing career" of licking blood on the tip of a knife all the time, day and night, and eating the last meal without stopping. It has already begun since the time I received the hunting guard waist card bestowed by the emperor.

It seems that most of them have long been used to seeing death and are not afraid of death, but there are only two things that they are most taboo about:

One is to witness the violent corpse of one's relatives in front of one's own eyes; the other is to be mentioned by others with unfavorable words such as "death" before performing a mission.

This time it was lucky, it took only a few sticks of incense before and after, and Jiu Xiaohan and his fifth brother Wuyu were all able to catch up.

I am afraid that the next "Journey to Subdue the Demon" will be more ominous than good!

However, the two of them took it for granted that what Liang Ziyu said just now were just ignorant playful and childish talk, and no one cared about anything with this young man.

▽▽▽▽
Reluctantly bidding farewell to Wusi, the third senior brother, Wuyu silently said "wait for me" in his heart, then got up and set out on the road.

The ground was covered with thick snow, and wherever the eyes looked, there was a vast expanse of gray snow in the dark ink, and the surroundings were extremely quiet.

A few frigid birds that came out to look for food, huddled with dry branches, motionless, looked down vigilantly at the three figures that were marching on the ground.

In order not to expose too many footprints, Liang Ziyu followed behind Jiu Xiaohan, and Jiu Xiaohan followed Wuyu, the fifth senior brother, step by step along the way Wuyu and the late third senior brother came. In the depths of the bamboo forest outside Bieqingaoao.

"Bie Qing'ao" sounds like saying goodbye to the depressions of Qingxin Mountain.

The desolate moonlight slanted, shady and shady, and slowly fell on a large area of ​​black lantern fruit trees.

Those bunches of frozen black lantern fruits, against the backdrop of the night sky before dawn, look extraordinarily mysterious and alluring.

The sweetness of the fruit juice is tightly wrapped by the crystal clear frost outside.

It seems that, from time to time, there seems to be a trace of faint horror, as if it is prepared in advance and wants to pay homage to something.

The cold tree shadows are sprinkled on the long footprints in the snow, and a winding path goes straight to the water on the other side of the jungle.

Along the way, Jiu Xiaohan would always look back from time to time, the "wolf boy" who followed closely behind him and carefully stepped on his footsteps without falling behind.

Jiu Xiaohan was still worried:
Liang Ziyu's body, which has just recovered from a serious injury, should not be suitable for long night walks in the snow, and he is even more unsuitable for removing demons with her and the fifth senior brother.

Because, after all, this is a matter of life and death, and the future is unpredictable. It is indeed too dangerous.

Of course, before the three of them were about to set off, Jiu Xiaohan calmly thought about it for a while, and then persuaded Liang Ziyu with nice words.

She told him that she hoped that he could go back to the broken Guanyin Temple first and then go to rest for a day, and then pick him up to Yi'an County when she came back.

However, Liang Ziyu refused to turn back to the ruined temple alone, and accompanied Jiu Xiaohan all the way north, heading straight for this dense bamboo forest.

Liang Ziyu's tone was firm, as if she had no intention of being persuaded to return.

With his "wolf boy" unique way of thinking, Jiu Xiaohan dispelled many worries and unnecessary excessive worries.

In fact, his reason is very simple:
"Anyway, I have survived all these years by myself! Every day, every night, I have escaped from all kinds of death, I don't know how many times? Isn't it! Whether it is this Right now, or in the days to come, my life, left and right, are 'stolen' from God, and I won't do this again!"

Liang Ziyu's words are indeed reasonable.However, no matter what you hear, you will feel a wave of pity from the bottom of your heart for him.

Therefore, Jiu Xiaohan completely gave up his thoughts, and he no longer wanted to drive him back to the broken Guanyin Temple.

What she thinks in her heart is:
After all, this pitiful "wild mountain black wolf cub" is a 17-year-old boy who was rescued by Jiu Xiaohan herself from the underground black wolf den.

No matter how you put it, he can be regarded as the "younger brother Liang Ziyu" who shared life and death with her, and she personally gave her a new name, worshiped together, and recognized each other!

Then, from then on, Liang Ziyu had to rely on her, Jiu Xiaohan, to do her best to cover and protect her!
At the beginning, she took the initiative to invite Liang Ziyu to go down the mountain with her to seek medical advice, and it was only two hours the next day, so she must not go back on her word and slap herself in the face.

What's more, in the past 20 years of living with a pure heart, she can be said to have been favored by everyone all day long, "heartless" and "no worries".

From now on, she will change her role, from being protected and protected to a powerful protector, she has to hold this "brother black wolf" in her hands!

She shouldn't let Liang Ziyu suffer and suffer any more.

——For Jiu Xiaohan, this kind of change, this transformation, is quite special!

▽▽▽▽
The three of them, front and back, formed a line, walking and walking towards the deepest secret place in the Quzhu Forest.

Just when Jiu Xiaohan looked back at Liang Ziyu again, when Liang Ziyu met her gaze, he suddenly said softly:
"Brother Ah Nuan, look quickly, what's over there?"

Jiu Xiaohan stopped in his tracks, followed the direction of Liang Ziyu's finger behind him, turned his head and forgot to go.

At the same time, Wu Yu, who was walking at the front of the three-person team, also suddenly stopped in place, turned sideways in time, and looked at the distance where the other two were looking.

Previously, they had been echoing in the bamboo forest with a series of rustling and creaking footsteps stepping on the snow, as if, suddenly, it stopped abruptly.

At this time, even though he was wearing the black wolf fur cloak that was thick enough to keep warm, it still sent a chill down Liang Ziyu's back.

I saw, on the other side of the bamboo forest, about three to forty feet away, there was a sparkling water area flickering.

"Oh! Yes! That's where it is!"

Hearing Yu Jinwen who was standing in front whispered in shock, Liang Ziyu inevitably had some doubts in his heart, but the young man's face did not reveal the slightest change.

Immediately afterwards, Yu Jinwen expressed guilt again and again, and said to the two of them embarrassingly:
"Fortunately, fortunately! If Ziyu hadn't discovered that place in time; I'm afraid, I would have taken the wrong direction, yes, that is the true north!"

It is indeed easy to get lost when walking at night in the deep snow-covered bamboo forest.

This time, being hit by Liang Ziyu by mistake and being accidentally corrected to the right path is really something to be thankful for.

However, Jiu Xiaohan inadvertently thought of it. At that time, when she left the ruined Guanyin Temple and was about to leave for Yi'an County, Liang Ziyu led her all the way to the the south side of the mountain.

He, shouldn't he, do it on purpose?

But, he, what is the purpose of doing that?

Could it be that Liang Ziyu already knew that once the two of them set foot on the road to the north of the mountain, they would have to pass through this mysterious bamboo forest, and they would also encounter the giant eating beast that the third and fifth senior brothers ran into before, which made them narrowly escaped death? Monsters?
However, if Liang Ziyu knew this before, why didn't he just tell her the whole story at that time?

Otherwise, it is, is it possible that he has been afraid all the time, and with her character, she must be the same as now: knowing that there are monsters in the mountains, she prefers to go to the monster mountains? !
Jiu Xiaohan always habitually imagines the best of people's hearts, and prepares his plans and actions for the best and worst.

"Brother Jinwen, where is it over there? From our point of view, it looks like a pool of water!"

Liang Ziyu asked casually.

Although Jiu Xiaohan was born with a pair of different blue pupils with excellent night vision ability, she did not try her best to show it in front of Liang Ziyu and fifth senior brother Wuyu.

But in fact, when she saw Liang Ziyu pointing there, she had already seen the situation in the distance thoroughly and clearly.

It's just that the fifth brother and Liang Ziyu focused their attention there, and in the blink of an eye, Jiu Xiaohan immediately put away her bluish eyes, and was not noticed by them. She just used the power of her eyes Ability.

Her premonition coincided with what Fifth Senior Brother was about to say next.

"That, over there, but, it's not an ordinary pool..."

Both Liang Ziyu and Jiu Xiaohan could hear that Wuyu's paused tone carried some profound and unknown meanings.Obviously, he has shown a little lingering fear.

It must be that he and his "third brother" experienced some extremely terrifying and unbearable scenes there not long ago.

Liang Ziyu, who was a few steps away from Wuyu, the fifth senior brother, naturally couldn't see his gloomy expression clearly under the pitch-black night.

However, even without the bright moon and dappled starlight seeping through the branches above his head, Jiu Xiaohan was still able to see the subtle changes in his fifth senior brother's face at this time.

Thinking about it, the fifth senior brother's panic-stricken reason, [-]% out of [-], should be because he remembered something terrible, and then he showed such a terrified expression again.

Moreover, it is very possible that it is precisely because of that weird pool water that seems to be glowing with a faint green light when viewed from a distance that it led to the death of the third senior brother Wusi who they both had in common? !
Since the fifth senior brother didn't explain anything to the two of them, Jiu Xiaohan told Liang Ziyu not to keep asking him where it was.

Go over and have a look, isn't it clear at a glance? !

▽▽▽▽
Next, the closer he got to the pool of water, the more Jiu Xiaohan could understand deeply what the fifth senior brother meant when he said "uncommon" in a moment of nervousness...

Not only that, Jiu Xiaohan can see clearly enough only by relying on his gray and blue pupils with abnormal night vision ability.

Moreover, after she shrugged her firm, icy-cold, and even a little reddish nose, she breathed through the streams of fresh air formed by the condensed ice and snow naturally carried by the forest, sea and snow field under her feet, After easily distinguishing and peeling off the damp fragrance of dry branches and dead leaves of the trees, she finally smelled the rotten corpse smell that was getting closer and stronger to the three of them.

This smell is very special; it is completely different from what Jiu Xiaohan smelled in that underground black wolf cave.

Immediately afterwards, what followed was an increasingly disgusting sour smell.

Don't look at the fifth senior brother Wu Yu who has been leading the way, but among the three, Jiu Xiaohan was the first to notice it.

In the distance, on the surface of the large green pool of water, layers of thick, colorless gas that is not easily visible to ordinary people is evaporating outward.

Presumably, most of the sour smell in the air around the three of them also came from there, no doubt.

Immediately, Jiu Xiaohan promptly reminded the other two, saying:
"Danger ahead! Turn off your sense of smell!"

"Ah? Close, close what?!"

Liang Ziyu had a surprised expression at first, and then quickly imitated Jiu Xiaohan's movements and covered his nose; pretending that he knew nothing and didn't understand anything.

The voice of the whole person became grumbling, and he kept asking Jiu Xiaohan:
"I...I can't! Little, uh, no, Brother Ah Nuan, what can I do, what should I do? Can't I even catch my breath? Then, it won't be soon, I will be suffocated to death Is it?"

Uh?
Jiu Xiaohan paused silently.

Strange!

Before that, under the century-old tree, didn't Liang Ziyu untie the acupuncture points all over her body that had been sealed off by herself?
At this critical juncture, how could he be blunted again?
