Bang!
As the wheels rolled, accompanied by a violent jolt, the two carriages finally left Liujia Village, one behind the other.
Liu Zhuzi was leaning on the soft and comfortable cushions, looking a little excited. He turned his head and said to Han Xiu beside the window curtain: "This carriage is really comfortable to sit in. I have been used to sleeping on the earthen bed since I was a child. This is the first time I have touched such soft satin.”
Han Xiu glanced at him and said softly: "It's called a carriage, but there are no horses. It's a bit strange."
After saying this, Liu Zhuzhu was a little stunned, as if he had just realized this thing that he had not noticed. However, Liu Daniu, who was resting on the side, suddenly opened his eyes, and the two young villagers also looked towards Han Xiu. , with an incomprehensible expression.
Liu Daniu's eyes were solemn, he reached out and patted his sleeved arm, deliberately lowered his voice and said: "Don't talk nonsense, these two carriages have horses, but we can't see them."
One of the young villagers glanced at Hanxiu and said, "Master Xu is the priest of our four villages. There are horses and monsters in his pass tokens, which you and I cannot see with our naked eyes."
Liu Zhuzhu was a little horrified and subconsciously looked towards the wooden partition in front of him and said, "Will these 'horse monsters' lose control?"
The young villager smiled and said: "Master Xu's family has been one of the sacrifices on Zhaoyang Mountain since his grandfather's generation. It has been more than a hundred years ago. These two carriages come every once in a while. I’ve been to Zhaoyang Mountain City once, and I’ve never heard of a horse getting out of control.”
Liu Zhuzhu nodded and said: "So that's it."
Hanxiu, who was beside the car window curtain, fell silent, wondering what he was thinking.
"It's getting dark."
Another villager in the corner suddenly spoke, causing everyone in the carriage to subconsciously look out the window.
The thin curtains let some light through, and the originally bright sky became much darker. The golden and red sunlight had disappeared, and only the palpitating grayness penetrated in, as if a layer of haze appeared on the faces of the people in the carriage. .
"Han Xiu, change places with me," Liu Daniu looked at the dim darkness outside the carriage window, feeling vaguely worried, "You can sleep more comfortably if you lean in the middle of the carriage."
The handsome and fair-skinned boy in commoner glanced at him, then shook his head slightly and said, "Uncle Liu, it's just fine for me to be here."
Bang!
Liu Daniu was about to say something more, but the carriage suddenly trembled violently, and the people in the carriage were staggered.
After a few breaths, the trembling of the carriage suddenly stopped and fell into an extremely stable situation. However, an increasingly fierce whistling wind came from outside the curtain, and it seemed that the thin curtain would be blown away at any time.
Liu Zhuzhu looked at the distant mountain scenery outside the curtain with some horror, and stammered: "We are flying... we are flying!"
The two villagers were leaning against the other car window, both turning their heads to look at the hazy scenery blocked by the curtains of the car window, silent.
Liu Daniu patted Liu Zhuzi's shoulder hard and said, "Don't say anything anymore, and have a good sleep."
Hanxiu looked sideways out of the car window. From time to time, gusts of wind blew into the carriage, raising his black hair that hung down to his shoulders.
Suddenly, the strong wind blew up the corner of the curtain. His sleeveless eyes were looking at the scene outside the car window, and he couldn't help but feel a tremor in his heart. It was a strange and gloomy thing that ordinary people could not even imagine!
In the dark sky, there seemed to be ghosts chirping, and there seemed to be an incredible and terrifying existence.
Hanxiu quickly withdrew his gaze. Although he was slightly palpitating, there was no trace of fear deep in his heart.
The wind gradually subsided, and the curtain fell again, once again covering the scene outside the window.
Liu Zhuzhu didn't feel sleepy at all, he looked over and over again. After enduring for a long time, he finally spoke in a low voice: "Master Xu has such a flying skill, he is just like an immortal. Why bother to earn the money we have worked so hard to save?" How many copper coins are there?”
Liu Daniu sighed, but did not rebuke Liu Zhuzhu, but said solemnly: "All village sacrifices are enshrined by Zhaoyang Mountain City. Generations have enjoyed the salary of Zhaoyang Mountain City, so naturally they will not lack a few copper coins from us. .”
After a moment of silence, Liu Daniu's eyes were filled with a little brilliance, and he seemed to have changed. He continued, "It has been said since ancient times that although the rain in the sky is broad, it will not moisten the grass without roots; the Buddha's Dharma is boundless and will not help those who have no destiny. Even When the holy monks of the Eastern Tang Dynasty arrive at Lingshan Mountain, they have to express their feelings by offering people and things to express their feelings. Only then can they achieve the fruit of Sandalwood Buddha, not to mention you and me, the ant people?"
Liu Zhuzhu suddenly raised his head and looked at Liu Daniu blankly, as if he were looking at a stranger.
Since he was a child, Liu Daniu had always been a simple and resolute hunter in his mind. He didn't know a few words at all, but now he spoke in perfect order, as if he was a completely different person.
Liu Daniu noticed Liu Zhuzi's gaze, smiled, and said, "Zhuzi, are you a little surprised?"
Liu Zhuzhu nodded vigorously and said, "Uncle Liu, why do you..."
Han Xiu also raised his head and looked towards Liu Daniu.
Even the two young villagers who had closed their eyes to repose opened their eyes one after another at this time. The villager who was sitting next to the window and said little to Liu Daniu glanced at Liu Daniu and said in a deep voice: "Are you what Mr. Xu said, and you woke up in Liujiazhuang this time?" 'Seedling'?"
Liu Daniu smiled muffledly and said, "It's just luck."
The villager's expression became much more solemn, he cupped his hands towards Liu Daniu and said, "I am blind."
Liu Zhuzhu and Hanxiu looked at each other, both of them were confused and couldn't understand what they were talking about.
Liu Daniu turned his head, touched Liu Zhuzi's head, sighed, and said: "Zhuzi, there is something that Uncle Liu has been hiding from you. Now that Uncle Liu is taking you to Zhaoyang Mountain City, it's time to tell you. .”
Hearing this, Liu Zhuzi trembled subconsciously and looked up into Liu Daniu's deep eyes.
Liu Daniu looked a little gloomy and said, "The reason why your parents left the boundaries of the mountains and ventured into the territory of spiritual beasts was because of a spiritual grass that grew on the edge of the mountains."
"I don't know the name of that spiritual grass, but it always exudes a translucent halo, and you can tell at a glance that it is not a mortal thing."
"You were only two or three years old at the time. In order to give you a chance to become a 'seedling', your parents chose to take the risk to pick that spiritual grass."
"only……"
At this point, Liu Daniu looked a little painful.
Liu Zhuzhu looked a little dazed and murmured: "Uncle Liu, stop talking."
The young villager by the window suddenly said: "After the Liu family and his wife died, you followed the beast while it was injured, picked the spiritual grass, and swallowed it into your stomach, right? ?”
Liu Daniu smiled bitterly and did not deny it, saying: "After the spiritual grass was picked, it withered and withered at an extremely terrifying speed. If I didn't swallow it, I would have wasted this spiritual thing."
