Path of the Dead Prequel: Wings of Silver

I watched Lilith leave the dojo until she disappeared in front of the stone pan door of the cellar, and then I took Tomato by the hand and walked out of the big house, climbed up to the corner in front of the gate, and chose a room with a good view to live in, and served as a garrison in the first half of the night.

Lucy was forced to be placed under the command of Jacaranda, and according to common sense, I had no right to take this person, but seeing that she was going to go to the tomb tomorrow, she nodded and agreed. The chick climbed up the masonry tower with me, looking curious and excited, and as soon as she closed the door, she seemed impatient, and I turned my head to the side, asking her not to think crookedly.

"I came to you to check some details with you. I patted her on the bed and asked her to sit down first, and asked, "The first time you brought us over to get guns, did you bump into two people who stayed behind in the ashram, and what did they look like?" "

"I didn't know there were still people guarding. Since the old man of Etenton issued a wanted warrant, we have temporarily given up on Goddess Peak. When I arrived, the gatehouse was locked, and there was no sign of human life in the ashram. She spread her hands, rested her head on my shoulder, and said, "Sister, that's what you're asking me for? Go to sleep, each of them wakes up early. "

"This is a very important matter, whether the purple-robed pickets are here to find the prisoners or to kidnap them, the concept is now unclear, and it is always a hidden danger to be unclear. I had a hunch that they wouldn't stop there, and they were still hiding nearby, which is why I volunteered to come to watch the night. I looked her in the eye and asked, "How do you know that date-pit?"

"It's been a long time, how do I know why the jujube pit said that, I don't know them well. She dodged my eyes and exclaimed, "I don't like this atmosphere of being interrogated, since I was a child, people like to ask me all kinds of questions, and I want to answer them immediately, it's your eyes." Do you think I'm deliberately hiding it? Absolutely not. I'm tired and just want to rest. "

"Well, it's my sister who is verbose. "I settled her down, rested my headlamp on the head of the bed as a light, reclined beside her, and rambled about my childhood anecdotes, such as fishing, camping, and going up to the mountains to pick mushrooms. Lucy is very young in the group, still a child, they don't like pressure, they haven't completely come out of the rebellion period, even if they ask, they need to be gradual. After chatting like this for a while, she gradually turned the topic to me, and her hands began to be dishonest.

After the strenuous exercise, she looked energetic, got up with a bone, wiped her sweat and smoked, looked at the dark clouds in the sky, and suddenly said: "As soon as I relax, I am easy to remember some things. "

"Oh, what do they look like? You can really toss. "I feel like I'm falling apart, I don't have the slightest energy, I've been playing too much for a while, and I've been hollowed out by wine. He grabbed the blanket and covered his back, leaned over and asked, "Have you talked to each other?"

"I didn't see anyone, but by the shrine I saw an ashtray with a cigar in it, and a mud watermark on the masonry of the big house, indicating that there had been visitors to the ashram. Seeing that I turned around and had something to ask, she hurriedly waved her hand and said, "That's all." "

Cigars and mud watermarks are clues, but the scope is too broad, and it may be the people who stayed behind themselves or the acquaintances they attracted. If the deceased's head has not been cut off, his or her facial features can be used to identify him. Seeing that I was silently pondering, this chick then threw out another sentence, saying that she lost the ashtray after seeing it, and if she had the heart to look for it, she would probably be able to find it.

"I'm sure the cigar smokers live in the nearby town, because the brand is made in a local workshop. She winked slyly at me and smiled, "You have to be my sister as you promised yourself, and then I will remember many things that I have forgotten now." Go to sleep, and I'll take you to that corner tomorrow, and that's just a few steps away. "

"I think, the name of the little fox should be given to you, and the person who is so big has actually learned to coerce the old lady. I smacked her with my ass and closed my eyes. Lucy's habit of lying is collectively recognized by Lilith, and she may be like she said, she grew up in a more oppressive environment, which caused her to become what she is now. However, this kind of person is relatively easy to deal with, that is, she has to meet her requests from time to time, and only then can she pry some useful information out of her mouth.

As soon as my head touched the pillow, I fell asleep, and when I woke up, all Lilith had gotten up, changed into sweatshirts and rain boots, and carried coal shovels and ziplines, ready for adventure. After going downstairs, I simply ate some leftover meat from last night, and I also changed into a leather costume and tied up my ponytail, yawning and lined up in the crowd.

Lucy saw me approaching and handed me an open can of Cordon Bleu beer, the ashtray she had mentioned last night, but there was nothing in it but rain and soot. It turned out that after she was called downstairs early in the morning, Jacaranda immediately asked her to report the reason for being called away, and she had to explain what had happened, so the half of the cigar had been taken away. Seeing that I was asking, the jacaranda walked up to me and raised a sticker in her hand at me, which was a rather cheesy sign depicting iguanas lying on cacti.

Peach Blossom, Orange and others have long since argued that this cigar was produced in a nearby town, and that in the past, tobacco and lentils were grown by almost everyone in Georgia, even on Allison's farm. The cigar brand is called Chameleon, a pack of ten, and it is sold in various oil and gas station shops. It doesn't work because people who come to visit will also buy it as a souvenir, so it's anyone's going to smoke.

The crowd began to follow Alison, towards the hills behind Goddess Peak. For some reason, I felt that several pairs of eyes looked at her a little strangely, including Tianzhu Ju, and I couldn't help but nudge her lightly and asked what she was looking at.

"After calming down last night, the sisters and I analyzed your original words word by word, and everyone suspected that the canna might be the Great Elder. She lowered her voice, stopped to tie her shoes, and said, "Including those who went to unveil the curtain, she was also the first to walk." "

"Eh, she's the first, but I haven't seen her carrying a purple envelope in secret?" I couldn't help but stop, pretending to be waiting for her, and said, "Actually, I still have a nightmare that I haven't spoken, and it has something to do with her, because Alison was killed." "

Then, Tianzhu Ju told them the details that they had checked. The first characteristic is the size of the woman who took the apricot, who can be a head taller than us, and there are only peasant women in the whole group; the second is that the legs are very white and the palms are larger than ordinary people, and Alison also has all of them, and the last one is her guess, that is, the peasant woman is too generous, which is especially abnormal, no one does not complain after suffering a huge loss, and when I waited for the three of them to give her money last night, Alison neither shirked nor refused, and accepted it very plainly.

"The Great Elder must have other private property, otherwise where will the money come from for the daily expenses of a bunch of girls? And I see that the canna sells some agricultural and sideline products all day long, and the only profit is that the leaves of her house are of good quality. Even if her husband dies, she can find another one, but she has neither helpers nor strong laborers, so can she take care of it by herself? "

Even though she said to keep an eye on it, I didn't want to do it. It's not been a day or two since Alison was suspected of being the Great Elder, and we had made her a target when we first arrived in Zhuangzi. But she is a very simple woman in contact, and what evidence can be used to accuse the Great Elder in advance? She does not kill anyone and does not show up, she claims to be a slave of the demon general, and has no right to decide, but she has some quirks, and her essence may not be cruel. All of Lilith's traitors are collective intentions, and our original idea of the Sorority stems from the fact that the Lancastrians were subjected to an iron fist, so they were regarded as the embodiment of evil from the root.

In the middle of my thoughts, I bumped into someone else's shoulder with a bang. When I came back to my senses, I saw that everyone had come to the fault in the back mountain, and further down was the dense forest. The land of Goddess Peak is really worth the money, and it is not measured by the broken church, but by the entire hill. The mountainside stretches out into a vast area of dense forest, and the shoal also contains two tributaries of the stream. The total area is equivalent to the entire town of Black Maple. Because it is too vast, it also brings a lot of trouble to our search.

"I didn't expect the back mountain to be so big, and I could make money if I rented it out to others as a summer camp. Tianzhu Ju sighed involuntarily, bent down to pick up a stone, and asked, "How long did it take for that mud hole in your nightmare to fall straight to the bottom?"

"Half a minute, but it wasn't a fall, but a relatively small hard-shelled worm crawling in the hollow, cutting out the extra time to go around and around, I don't think it was more than ten seconds. I pulled out my computer, roughly figured out a line, and put it in her hand.

The stones rolled down the ramp, fell into the bushes and lost their tracks, and then threw a few more. According to the digital Yibin Nu, the drop is more than 30 meters, and the radius is less than 50 meters, so the search range will be greatly reduced, as long as you find the towering old tree in the nightmare, you will probably find the stone house. The next thing is Tianzhu Ju's specialty, she silently took out the morning dew and put it on, took a deep breath, jumped up in the air on the spot, landed steadily on the cliff below, and began to hang the shuttle upside down among the trees.

The women were accustomed to seeing it, and they could not exclaim, but praised the beaded curtains, and they all felt that this kind of ornament was exotic and had a mysterious beauty. Allison triumphantly said that I had given her a top, and it was laid away in the cupboard of the lonely building of the farmstead, and when the crowd heard it, they came up to me and flattered me to think of something for them, and I could not help thinking about it, and I could not help but ask them why they thought it was so strange, and that it was a certain honor to have it? It was a very common decoration for Milière.

"The Demon General's Decree once said that only when you become the daughter of the canopy can you comprehend the wonderful use of the Heavenly Golden Grass, which is not something that ordinary people can find. "

"Okay, well, there are so many of you, where am I going to go and find a lot of them? I snickered to myself, and took out the morning dew I bought and put it on my face, and as soon as I looked down, I faintly felt that the vision had become a little grotesque. That was the end of the skyline, where the clouds were tumbling over, now glowing with purple gas, and jumping like flying insects with many impurities.

Jacaranda also hung up the morning dew silently, perhaps asking others to borrow it or maybe she bought it with her own money, and pretended to look into the distance, only then did I notice that she was wearing deep and shiny eye makeup like a purple-eyed fox. Could it be that this is not to hook a man's soul, but to praise it somehow? Thinking that I took out my makeup case and was about to hold my feet temporarily, she sighed and spoke leisurely.

"The Chinese Festival is already very close, and there are still five days at most. She knew that I didn't know how to recognize it, so she deliberately grabbed my shoulder, pointed to the horizon and said, "The night light lice are the messengers of the moon god, and they carry purple qi from the east, and they will float in the air day and night, looking from afar like fireflies in a summer night." It brings both peace and sudden change, just like the unpredictable situation in the world. Therefore, there will be heavy rain in the next few days, and the lightning and thunder will not stop for a moment, which is really very similar to the red moon period, but it is a different situation. When the center of the storm moved to the sky directly above the dojo, that is, the head of the corpse north, this was the mystery of the night of the Chinese supper. You only know how to fight and kill, but you are not familiar with it. "

After saying this, she volleyed away like a Tianzhu chrysanthemum, jumped into the air and disappeared. I just remembered that the original forget-me-not would do this trick in the shadows, which made us dizzy and subject to her again and again, and it seems that these profound things have a lot to do with the morning dew. When the women saw her disappear into thin air, they couldn't help but cheer loudly, and asked me to play acrobatics for them to see.

I don't seem to be able to hold any other intuitive performances except for dreams, and I can't help but feel cramped, the more women urge me to do it, so I have to pretend to flip through the bag, and my fingers touch the soul of Ruowenwang. Yes, isn't there a velvet here? Just prick the tip of the tongue and release a black mist, isn't it a big sight? Thinking that I pulled out the Angong ash, and was about to cut the tip of the tongue, there were bursts of cries from below, and the two people who went down had already discovered it. When they heard of the play, they hurriedly left me and went away with joy, and I ran with the crowd, and soon came to a muddy field as red as charcoal, and this pine mud was the best fertile soil.

"Stop, don't go any further. Coldly, the jacaranda burst out of the slanted thorns, blocked in front of everyone, and said: "The torrential rain has been raging for several days, washing away all the traces on the surface, and her sharp eyes can only see the handprints of others holding the trunk of the tree, but the people who have been here in the past are very cautious and hide them. You see, if you're not mistaken, the so-called stone house is not far ahead. "

Following her guidance, there was a towering tree standing more than ten meters away, looking a little like the famous redwood-General Sherman in California. The difference is that the head is much smaller, and the crown of the tree, which should be reddish in autumn, is still green, like a young shoot that has just been extracted. The most incredible thing is that it is said that such a thick tree, we can see it at a glance when we stand on the high ground overlooking it, but we can't find it, and this tree seems to know Miriya's trick and hides itself.

"The name of this tree is the back of the corpse, although it is very similar to the redwood, but it is another tree species, it is also divided into male and female, this tree is an old woman, standing here for thousands of years. Jacaranda raised her hands behind her back, paced in front of everyone, and said to herself: "No wonder Hua Xiao appeared here, it turned out to be moving with the God of Shadows, so it became much easier to understand." "

The women had never heard of these doorways, and they couldn't help but gather in a circle and ask her to tell them carefully. Jacaranda replied and began to answer.

"There are hundreds of species of strange trees in the world, some of which are extinct and some of which have not yet been discovered. But if you want to talk about trees that are both plants and animals, there are three: the Dead Bell Flower Tree, the Corpse Back, and the Soul Detachment. These strange trees are not products of the earth, but are brought by meteors flying out of the sky, and the back of the corpse is more peculiar. The tree was first used to bury wise men, with the heart hollowed out, zombies stuffed in, and red turquoise soil to cover the breaches. The corpse's back will devour the dead as nutrients, and people will go to cut down the roots. "

"Why is that? Could it be that the roots of trees can be eaten like beef?" a group of fan girls listened with relish, urging her to continue.

"People cut down the roots, move them to the depths of a mysterious forest and bury them in the soil, and then after a few years, dig up the soil and the roots will grow into human shapes on their own. As time goes by, it eventually becomes more and more like the person buried in the tree, hence the name "Tree of Shadows". As she spoke, she approached the crowd, and suddenly made a gesture of baring her teeth and claws, which startled everyone to retreat.

"Eh, isn't this the god of the ridge?" I was not surprised to hear this, for Rien had already described it.

"Nonsense, don't you know that you are still worthy of being called Miriya? Where the Shadow Tree exists, any entrance walkway will be hidden, and it will be necessary to rely on the most vicious objects to break it. "

"So you said for a long time, which means that you can't do anything? Are we going home?" Allison shrugged and sneered.

"Of course not, the only one who can do this is you, a sister who eats dry food and doesn't do anything," Jacaranda sneered a few times, dragged me out of the crowd, pulled me to the bushes, and said, "This little fox was born to be used to probe the yin." "

"What do you mean by that?" I whispered in a daze, "What the hell are you going to do?"
