Chapter 319 Pursuit
When Zheng Xiu and Qing Shisan walked out of Zheng's house, Yue Linglong chased them out.

"Husband."

She chased after Zheng Xiu's back. For some reason, after Zheng Xiu had a fight with his father, Yue Linglong felt that her husband seemed to be a different person, and his back became strange and distant.

"you……"

She paused, summoned up the courage to ask, "Where do you want to go?"

Zheng Xiu looked back at Yue Linglong, his bedside person, and for a moment, he didn't know what to say.Yue Linglong was holding a thick cloak in her hand, she forced a smile and put it on for Zheng Xiu intimately.

"I can..."

She lowered her head and asked weakly.

"Coincidentally, I want to go to Beiman, the Clan of the Moon."

Zheng Xiu smiled and touched Yue Linglong's face.Zheng Haoran's fist woke him up, making Zheng Xiu realize that he had forgotten a very important thing.

No wonder he always felt empty in his heart during these peaceful days, as if a piece had been dug away.

Zheng Xiu decided to find out what the missing piece was.

He still doesn't have a clear idea, but Zheng Xiu vaguely feels that it seems to be a good decision to start from "Zhu".

"Now?"

Yue Linglong was taken aback for a moment, the trip to Beiman was a long way away, and it could not be reached overnight, she never expected that Zheng Xiu would travel lightly and leave as soon as he said it.

Before Zheng Xiu could answer, Yue Linglong seemed to have figured it out instantly, nodded vigorously, stepped forward and took Zheng Xiu's hand: "I will accompany you, no matter where you are."

Zheng Xiu subconsciously withdrew his hand, and finally let Yue Linglong grab it.

Qing Shisan silently smoked dry cigarettes until the Zheng couple stood together, Qing Shisan squinted his eyes and smiled, "Can we go?"

First stop, Bagnamo Hill.

Yue Linglong once talked about her childhood.

She didn't suffer from the strange disease that changed the trajectory of her life when she was a child.

The wolf king did not climb Bagnamo Mountain to seek help from the Great Heavenly Witch, nor did he bring back any elixir.

Yue Linglong did not become a [mortician] because of this.

After deciding on the destination.

Qing Shisan opened his mouth and exhaled a thick cloud of smoke.

This is the first time after he became a "ferryman", he showed his "ferryman" thaumaturgy in front of Zheng Xiu.

The lingering smoke did not have any unpleasant smell, Zheng Xiu was a little bit surprised, looking at the smog wrapped around him, there was a faint chill in the smog, green with yellow, sinking at the feet of three people and one cat, as if from the underworld , It makes people feel cold all over.

The smoke swam, reshaped in front of the three of them, and became a door in the blink of an eye.

"You... are very skilled."

Only then did Zheng Xiu notice that Qing Shisan had a new injury on the back of his hand.

"Well, the young master has sharp eyes." Qing Shisan imitated others and called "Young Master", he grinned, showing a row of neat and yellowed teeth: "I had nothing to do that day, so I went out for a trip."

"Where did you go?"

"A dangerous river, a solitary boat, and a ferryman." Qing Shisan turned his back to Zheng Xiu, pushed the smoke away with the cigarette stick, and his action seemed to open the "door" in front of him. He paused for a while, but finally did not Concealment: "His name is Bai Qiuyue."

When Zheng Xiu heard this, his pupils shrank, but he didn't say anything. He nodded and followed Qing Shisan into the smoke door.

"Isn't it strange, young master?"

Qing Shisan thought that Zheng Xiu would reprimand him for making his own decisions, but unexpectedly, after confessing, there was a silence, which made Qing Shisan feel a little embarrassed, and asked a lot of questions while rubbing the back of his head.

"What's wrong?" Zheng Xiu shook his head, "What do you feel?"

Qing Shisan touched his chest, closed his eyes and thought for a moment: "Weird. When I met him, he seemed to know that I was coming, and I also felt murderous for no reason. At that moment, Qing had only one thought, the two of us, we can only Survive the next one."

"After finishing the job, that thing flew over by itself."

"Qing has become complete."

Yue Linglong obediently followed behind Zheng Xiu, listening to the weird conversation between the two.She couldn't understand, but she was slightly shocked, she was vaguely aware of what Zheng Xiu and Qing Shisan said, looking for strangeness, it must be unusual.

After stepping into the door, a gloomy and cold breath rushed towards her face, and Yue Linglong lost the desire to explore in an instant.The twisted mist was as deep as the sea, squeezed from all directions.In front of several people, they couldn't tell up, down, left, or right with their eyes alone. When the three of them appeared, they were floating obliquely in the grotesque void.

Qing Shisan waved his hand, the smoke condensed and turned into a gray boat at the feet of the three people and one cat.

call out!
The three of them landed on the boat, and the boat quickly fell downward as if weightless.

After a while, the boat bumped violently, landed on the dark and sticky river, and moved forward steadily.

"Ma'am, be careful not to stick your hands out of the boat."

Qing Shisan kindly reminded.

Yue Linglong didn't know what was going on, so she nodded seriously.

A layer of hazy gray light wrapped the hull of the ship like a hood, and the color outside the hood was even darker. Even Yue Linglong, who didn't understand the mystery, could sense that it was this hood that isolated something outside. She is being protected by Qing Shisan.

The gray twists on both sides squeezed towards the center, but they couldn’t affect the boat. At 01:30, Qing Shisan was standing on the bow. It was an ordinary cigarette rod that Zheng Xiu bought from the market, but now it was in Qing Shisan’s hands. It was strange. Stretching the length of the ground, it became the "pole" of the ferryman. As Qing Shisan relaxed and supported on the bow of the boat, the speed of the boat was extremely fast, breaking through the thick Heihe River, and moving forward along the winding Heihe River. move.

Yue Linglong sat at the stern of the boat, staggering and a little dizzy.

Zheng Xiu noticed that Yue Linglong seemed to be a little seasick. He held Yue Linglong by his arm, and Yue Linglong fell into Zheng Xiu's arms with her forehead.Looking at that face, staring at Pian Xu, Zheng Xiu raised his head, and said to Qing Shisan: "Bagnamo Mountain... the top of the mountain."

"Okay!" After finishing speaking, Qing Shisan squatted on the bow of the boat, motionless.

"?"

"Ahem, Qing is looking at the map." Qing Shisan coughed twice, a little embarrassed, he quickly hid the map back in his arms, and said with an embarrassed smile: "I don't know the road, hehe, I don't know the way."

The orange cat in his arms still looked stunned and stupid, holding Zheng Xiu's skirt with both hands, if it was heavier, it might be able to take off Zheng Xiu's gown with just a swing.

……

The top of Mount Bagnamo is still covered with a thick snow cap.

On the mountain high into the clouds, in the land of no one, a distortion appeared out of thin air, and three people and a cat walked out of the distortion calmly.

"vomit--"

The orange cat gets seasick, and retches on the ground as soon as it goes out, similar to morning sickness.

The scenery on the top of the mountain can be seen at a glance.

Zheng Xiu remembered that the place where Zhu Zhu once lived in seclusion was an airtight room.Flattening the four mountain walls will expose a "big box" completely made of "dark iron", which can isolate foul air and thaumaturgy and is indestructible.

Today, there is only one dilapidated thatched hut left. The hut was almost collapsed by the snow, and the closed door was full of snow. I don’t know how long no one cares about it.

"Is this the place where the Great Heavenly Witch lives in seclusion?"

Before Zheng Xiu could ask, the puzzled look on Yue Linglong's face made Zheng Xiu understand that Yue Linglong had never been here, had never seen the Great Heavenly Witch, and had no idea what the "original" place was like.

"Inside..." Qing 13's two eyeballs were pitch black, and there were strange ripples in circles like a black lake hidden inside.He stared at the door for a while, wondering: "There is no one alive."

After Qing Shisan finished speaking, Zheng Xiu had already walked towards the thatched hut on the top of the snow-capped mountain, and opened the door to enter.

The moment the door was pushed open, there was a faint rancid smell from inside.There is a stove inside the door, and there is a kang on the stove. There are many dried and rotten meat hanging in the house.Lying on the kang was a corpse in ragged clothes. The corpse was almost as white as bones. No wonder the rotten smell was so faint, as if it had been dead for a long time.

"died."

"died!"

"Meow... vomit!"

Qing Shisan, Yue Linglong, and Orange Cat showed different reactions to the dead corpse on the kang.

Zheng Xiu closed his eyes and thought for a moment, then said in a deep voice, "Tianyin Mountain, Jingtang Town!"

Half a day later, the sky was bright.

Qing Shisan set off on a boat, walked through the Bund, crossed the Dagan from the extreme north, and came to a place called "Jingtang" town at the foot of Tianyin Mountain in the southwest.

"Master, have you been here?"

At the foot of Tianyin Mountain, the terrain is elevated layer by layer, distributed on the mountain wall like steps.The houses attached to the mountain wall are stacked on top of each other.In a small town like Jingtang Town, the terrain fluctuates greatly from low to high, and Qing Shisan is amazed by the unique landform.

"I once carried a painting with the monk, and fled here under the pursuit of a group of people." Zheng Xiu's eyes showed a trace of nostalgia, and he replied with a smile: "At that time, there was a 'hundred-year bug' happening here. The 'Purification Ceremony' was being held, and the monk was kind-hearted, so he got involved...many people died."

"Hundred-year bug? Cleansing ceremony?"

Yue Linglong asked curiously from the side.

Zheng Xiu said with a smile the matter of "burning pregnant women".

As expected, Yue Linglong had a disgusted expression on her face.

Zheng Xiu said again: "But because the monk saved the pregnant women on the stake, more pregnant women died."

Suddenly, a sense of disobedience surged into Zheng Xiu's heart.That painting, why should I do it for that painting?After a while, a thought calmly dispelled this sense of disobedience: it was because of the "painter" monster hidden in the painting, yes, there was a painter's trick hidden inside.

Zheng Xiu clenched his fists.

Yue Linglong showed astonishment, she held her husband's sleeve, not knowing what to say for a moment.

The costumes of Zheng Xiu, Qing Shisan and Yue Linglong are quite different from those of the locals.The locals in Jingtang Town cast vigilant eyes.Zheng Xiu looked calmly, looked around, and walked to Jing Wu's house familiarly.

In front of the door, a barefoot boy sweeps the fallen leaves in front of the door with a broom.Zheng Xiu recognized him as "Xiao Zhao".

"Xiao Zhao, is your grandfather at home?"

Zheng Xiu stepped forward to strike up a conversation, the little boy raised his head, with a puzzled expression on his face: "Who are you?" He was puzzled because these three people were obviously outsiders, and it was the first time he saw them, but the leader could call out his name right away.But Zheng Xiu's familiar posture with his grandfather made Xiao Zhao involuntarily relax his vigilance, and he pouted into the house: "Grandpa is inside."

Walking into the house, an old man with an ordinary face was sitting in the yard.The moment the three of them entered the room, the sickly old man sat up and called Xiaozhao in panic: "Xiaozhao! Zhao! Who are these three!"

Only then did Xiao Zhao realize that he had been fooled.

Cunning stranger!

"how?"

Qing Shisan knew that Zheng Xiu was looking for "what", so he leaned closer and asked in a low voice beside Zheng Xiu.He puffed out the smoke casually, and that relaxed posture scared the unexperienced Xiao Zhao to tears.

"Old man, please don't take offense if you disturb me. Don't worry, I'll borrow a book and read it before leaving."

Zheng Xiu looked at the strange old man, his expression of fear did not seem to be fake.He bowed his hands to the old man and entered the house.

In a corner of the room, piles of ancient books of unknown age were piled up randomly, and Zheng Xiu stepped forward to search.

After a while, Zheng Xiu was disappointed to find that the book he wanted was not there.

So he ran outside the courtyard again, looking at the bewildered grandpa and grandson hugging together, he felt sorry, but he still took the initiative to ask: "Please old man, I want to find a book called "Eternal Dark Secret Record". "

"What's the secret?"

When the old man heard this, his wrinkles trembled, he put his palms around his ears, and asked loudly.

"Often secret record."

"What's the secret?"

"Often secret record."

"What is the dark record?"

Qing Shisan squeezed the cigarette stick tightly.

Zheng Xiu looked at Xiaozhao: "How did you know the cure for the 'hundred-year bug'?"

Xiao Zhao was even more taken aback when he heard the words: "What hundred-year-old bug?"

"Cotton slough."

"So you asked about 'cotton slough'!" Xiao Zhao slapped his forehead, suddenly realized, and trotted into the house, after a while he handed a book to Zheng Xiu: "You mean this! "Xiao Zhao now wished that the three "cunning foreigners" would leave quickly, and his behavior was very cooperative. He reached out and patted the dusty cover, trying to make Zheng Xiu see clearly: "This book doesn't ask you to tell me. Its name is "Zhang Gong Zhi Yi", and it contains the treatment method of 'cotton slough'."

After the words fell, Xiao Zhao trembled all over: "How do you know about 'cotton slough', you cunning outsider? But it's not called 'Hundred Years Bug' either! It sounds ugly."

Cunning outlander?

Qing Shisan and Yue Linglong looked at each other.

Zheng Xiu didn't care about the trivial at the moment, he frowned and opened the ancient book called "Zhang Gong Zhi Yi".

[Being all kinds of people, knowing the world] There is a strange sentence written on the title page.

Zheng Xiu frowned, his heart moved, he didn't speak, and quickly flipped through the pages.

The book records a person who calls himself "Zhang Gong", what he saw and heard when he traveled around the world, most of them are some bizarre rural legends, or some strange sights that ordinary people can't reach.There is an article in it, which records a kind of insect called "cotton slough".It is roughly similar to the "cotton slough" in Zheng Xiu's memory.The book says that some places suffer from cotton sloughs. If the source of the cotton sloughs cannot be found, the next best thing is to burn the sick pregnant women to death, so as to prevent more people from being "infected".The only thing that does not match Zheng Xiu's memory is that the "cotton slough" mentioned in the book does not have the rule of "once in a hundred years"!

"no!"

"no!"

"no!"

Zheng Xiu flipped through the pages, faster and faster, muttering to himself.

Yue Linglong noticed that her husband was restless and couldn't bear it, so she stretched out her fingers and gently knit the word "Chuan" on Ping's brow.

"Husband, what are you looking for?"

"An article called 'The Sun Chaser Says'! It's not in this book! It's not this book, or..." Zheng Xiu turned to the last page, and finally saw the author's signature - "Zhang Daer".

"Zhang Da'er, Zhang Da'er, Zhang Da'er." "Zhang Gong Zhi Yi" fell from Zheng Xiu's hands, and Zheng Xiu's astonishment could no longer be concealed: "200 years ago, Zhang Da'er was born in the world!"

"It's him who traveled all over the world and wrote this book!"

"He's not dead!"

"Yes! He didn't die, he survived!"

"This is in line with his temperament!"

Zheng Xiu's restless heart calmed down as Zhang Da'er's smiling and chubby face came to mind.

Zheng Xiu picked up the "Zhang Gong Zhi Yi" from the ground, wiped off the dust, solemnly walked into the house, and put it back in its original place.After a moment of silence, Zheng Xiu laughed at himself: "Why did I suddenly become like some people, chasing the track of the 'first alien', following the path he walked, looking for it bit by bit, can prove Traces of his existence."

"All the facts show that there is nothing left in this world..."

suddenly.

Zheng Xiu rushed out of the room, and Chaoqing Shisan shouted: "West of the desert! Sun Cicada Valley! Where are you going!"

If Zhu Zhu never existed, and he never appeared, then is the experience of the world in the painting still true?

Qing Shisan and Yue Linglong looked at Zheng Xiu's bewildered look, but couldn't say anything.

Let Qing Shisan swing the pole, and the boat pushes away the waves. After a while, when the distortion forms a door, and Qing Shisan pushes the door open, the sun is high in the sky, and a heat wave hits the face, accompanied by noise The bazaar is full of life.

They came to Sun Cicada Valley:

A lively paradise.

　It's hard to get up...

　　Do you know how miserable I am...

　　Both legs were shaking.

　　Ask for a monthly ticket...
