Chapter 289: Poison Sacrifice: Whispering on the Night of the Firefly
Tang Yejue was startled by his movement: "What's wrong with you?"
Li Qingjun touched his waist and said: "When I was exorcising ghosts with you, the fight was too fierce. It seems that the token that Master asked me to find was lost." After saying that, he hurriedly turned up his waist and cuffs.
After searching for it again, his face suddenly darkened, "If this thing is not there, I can't contact that person. You go on your way first, and I will search back along the road. If I find the thing, I will come after you."
"Do you want to go back to the big Buddhist temple?" Tang Yejue curled his lips, remembering the scary appearance of the ghost temple at night. "Although the ghost king has been eliminated, the ghost energy is still there. Why don't we wait for dawn and we will accompany you to find it?"
Bar."
"No," Li Qingjun waved his hand, "That thing is very important to me."
"You go ahead." Lu Zhanfeng said suddenly, "We have crossed the suspension bridge in front and will wait for you at the other end."
Li Qingjun bowed gratefully and then left directly.
"Let's go." Lu Zhanfeng turned around and continued walking. Tang Yejue had no choice but to follow him.
Fortunately, the scenery in this area is quite beautiful at night. Under the suspension bridge connecting the canyon are the rapid rivers and waterfalls. The water drops are splashing, which makes people feel cool. However, the night is too dark, and even the only moonlight that illuminates the night is hidden tonight.
Entering the clouds. Tang Yejue muttered to himself while crossing the suspension bridge, but halfway through, he found that Lu Zhanfeng was missing.
In the pitch-black night, why did Lu Zhanfeng suddenly disappear?
Tang Yejue panicked and felt his feet shaking. There was obviously no wind, so why was the suspension bridge shaking so much?
"Lu Zhanfeng?" Tang Yejue called tentatively, but there was no reply.
"Hey, the person named Lu!" Tang Yejue lowered his voice and shouted again. This person should not be far from him. Otherwise, why didn't the Divine Lock Curse respond at this time? But he was not far from him, so why didn't he respond? And it was night.
It was too dark for Tang Yejue to see clearly. He took a few tentative steps forward, but the bridge swayed too much. He couldn't stand still. He staggered a step, but his wrist was suddenly grabbed by someone.
"What are you calling me for?" Lu Zhanfeng's voice sounded from behind him, "I'm going to explore the way forward."
"oh."
Tang Yejue turned around and saw Lu Zhanfeng's eyes full of teasing and asked, "You must be scared, right?"
"Bah." Tang Yejue said disdainfully, "I grew up in this mountain. What am I afraid of? I'm just afraid that something will happen to you and you will fall off the bridge and be washed away by the water."
"So that's it." Lu Zhanfeng was too lazy to talk nonsense with him and pointed ahead, "I just went to check it out. The front is very safe. Just take a rest at the stone and wait for Lord Qing."
The two of them crossed the bridge one after another, their footsteps passing through the grass. Suddenly, something seemed to disturb them, and among the rustling grass, a bunch of golden-green stars floated up.
There are more and more star points, rising from the grass, illuminating the darkness like a vast Milky Way. Those light points flicker in the grass and treetops, appearing and disappearing, like crystal gems hidden in the universe.
Although Tang Yejue had seen fireflies flowing in the mountains, he had never seen so many and spectacular groups of fireflies in such a dark world.
Lu Zhanfeng, who had been growing up in the Central Plains, was even more shocked by this scene. He stood motionless on the spot with his mouth slightly open. It was not until a shining firefly passed by the tip of his nose that he came back to his senses.
"Is it... Liuying?"
"Yes, it's so beautiful." Tang Yejue stretched out his hand and pounced on one, and the Liuyingying fell obediently into his palm. He was a little happy, and walked to Lu Zhanfeng and spread his hands to show him, "I grew up in the mountains, and I didn't even
I’ve seen so many flying fireflies.”
Lu Zhanfeng also stretched out his hand, and the flowing firefly flew from Tang Yejue's palm into his palm.
"In that case, why don't we make some fluorescent lamps for traveling at night?" Lu Zhanfeng said.
"Okay," Tang Yejue nodded, "When we were young, Tang Qi and I often caught fireflies on the mountain to make lanterns."
Speaking of Tang Qi, his expression darkened, "I don't know how Tang Qi is doing now, whether Master can control him..."
"Tang Yejue, look." Lu Zhanfeng seemed to be afraid that he would be sad, and suddenly interrupted his thoughts. Tang Yejue turned his head, but he didn't know when Lu Zhanfeng took out a few piles of fine gauze from his luggage, "Although there is no silk cloth
, but it’s more than enough to replace it with this.”
Sure enough, Tang Yejue's thoughts were taken away by him, and he nodded repeatedly: "Then I'll catch him, and you can put up the lantern."
Soon, Lu Zhanfeng tied the gauze into a pocket and used two branches to make poles for the lantern. He looked up and saw that Tang Yejue was focused on beating Liuying, and the sadness that had just appeared for a moment seemed to have been forgotten.
In the back of his mind. If you think about it, he has a pretty good personality. He is a young man who doesn't hold grudges, has no scheming, and can't pretend to be worried.
At least if you go on the road with him, you won't have too many worries.
Tang Yejue could be seen leaning down and holding his breath to hide in the grass for a while, and then jumped up with great movements and used his pockets to net a large number of flying fireflies - although most of them flew away from the gaps in his clothes.
However, after half a stick of incense, Tang Yejue still caught a lot of Liuying.
The two put the stray fireflies into gauze bags and tied their mouths again.
The pocket immediately lit up, a bit brighter than an ordinary lantern, and Tang Yejue finally saw Lu Zhanfeng's face clearly.
Compared with the first time they met, under the soft light of the fluorescent lamp, he actually felt that Lu Zhanfeng's handsome, young but indifferent face at first had a touch of softness now. He was sitting on a big rock, his posture was quite relaxed.
, turned to look at Tang Yejue: "The cicadas chirp in the trees during the long day, and the fireflies fall into the curtains at night. It seems that I haven't had such a pleasant time in a long time."
Tang Yejue nodded in agreement. He didn't like to sit on rocks, but he liked to sit in the grass, so he leaned on the grass beside the tree, put the fluorescent lamp on the ground, held his head in his hands, and stretched.
"I always feel like I haven't seen this scene full of stars once or twice." Tang Yejue said, picking up a leaf from beside him, "In my memory, I seem to have watched it with someone like this.
"It's not a firefly, it's more like a lamp. There are many, many such lamps on..." But this strange memory is only in his mind and is still extremely vague. Perhaps it is just a dream he had at a certain moment when he was a child.
He smiled self-deprecatingly, rolled up the leaves, and asked, "Can you blow leaves?"
Lu Zhanfeng shook his head: "But I can play the willow flute."
"What a coincidence, I can do it." Tang Yejue said, getting up and searching on the ground. Sure enough, he found a willow branch that had fallen on the ground. He took out the knife on his waist and cut a simple willow flute in a few strokes.
He came out and threw it to Lu Zhanfeng, "Would you like to play a song together? I have always had a nice song in my mind that I can teach you."
