Chapter 514: Traps and the little spirits in the mountains
This is not the reason why Sumen really hesitated. What he hesitated about was that he had a dream before he received the message.
Yan Mo looked at what child seemed to be afraid of, and naturally added a little soul power to his words, "Don't be afraid, and tell Shifu what you dream of?"
The child's mood was obviously comforted and his body relaxed “I dreamed that she was crying and swearing. She was covered with blood and laid in a big and gorgeous room. "
So she should be Sumen's mother, right? Yan Mo sat on the ground casually, took the child to his lap and asked him, "Have you ever dreamed of your mother before?"
Sumen nodded and shook her head. “Maybe, but I don't remember."
Yuan Zhan was called away while Yan Mo was talking to the apprentices.
Now the Hornless-people have just formed a team to fight against tyranny because of oppression, but the internal situation is very different. If it wasn't for the two of them, Yuan Zhan and Yan Mo who saved many hidden the Hornless-people the demon warriors in this period of time, and many of them stayed to join the rebel army, I'm afraid there will be more problems.
Yuan Zhan is not devoted to the management of the team. He is waiting for Hou Shi to bring the Demon Abyss team. When the demon Warriors team arrives, some of the Hornless-men who can make a noise for a little benefit and food will naturally be managed and taught.
He now spends more time absorbing the energy of the Godblood Stone, because he is very clear that these Hornless-men are just the mob in the priest's mouth, and it is impossible to rely on them to fight against the Horn-people. Even if the Demon Abyss's men come, if they are not strong enough, the team will be destroyed soon
.
Besid
es Yan Mo, he didn't know what special abilities Sumen had. Sumen didn't say, and the Witch Alain not tell him. He didn't think the kid was lying to him. Maybe she didn't know what his abilities were
.
"Can
you dream of anything but your mother every once in a while? Like your father's or someone else's?” Yan Mo follows the lead.
“I'll dream about them, I..." Sumen looked into his Shifu's eyes. He had a big secret that he dare not tell others, but Shifu should be able to believe it, right?
"Shifu," the child hugged Yan Mo's neck and snuggled up to him, "There's something I have to say you wouldn't be afraid of me, would you?”
“
No."
"Y
ou promise?"
Yan Mo smiled and raises his pinky finger. “I promise."
The child was willing to say: "Shifu, I... I used to be locked in the house by that man. He didn't let me go anywhere. Sometimes Buhua would take me for a walk in the yard when he saw my pitiful look. Once I was caught when they didn't pay attention to me trying to sneak out, the man shut me up in the house and tied me with a bone chain."
Yan Mo didn't have any bad feelings for the Duke Modun, but when he heard the child's saying that, his feelings towards the Duke Modun immediately became negative. Sumen was not welcome and blessed even when he was born, but if he really didn't like the child, he could either give the child to a mother, or he could give Sumen to the White-Horn clan temple, even if you throw it away, or if he has to then he could be cruel at the beginning, it's OK to kill him, but the Duke Modun let the child grow, but kept the child locked for nine years. He didn't let him learn anything. He kept him like a brute. This kind of life in prison is even more terrible than physical abuse. The child had not shut down. It's really God's help.
Sumenwhispered his secret there always very sad. I once saw the birds flying in the sky and envied them for their flying. I thought if I could fly to the sky as well as the birds then I will be happy, then I dreamt that I was flying. I saw my body is below, but I was above. "
Is this out of the body experienced? Yan Mo loves this child.
“I was scared at first, but I thought it was a dream, and I wanted to go out too much, so I floated out, and then I saw the outside." Little Sumen's voice is like a child full of fantasy. He shared with his Shifu his feelings and experiences of flying out to see the world for the first time, he was saying a lot.
Yan Mo didn't ask the child in detail until he stopped. "How long can you let the soul fly out every time? How long can you dream like this?"
The child screwed up his small brow. “It was very short at first, then it grew slowly, but it could not be longer than an hour, otherwise it would hurt a lot when I wake up."
Yan Mo wanted to scream that this child is too daring that he is not afraid of not being able to get back to his body or fear when he went to float out like this. However, he can understand the mood of the child. Maybe Sumen had to go back to his body at that time, and he thought he was dreaming!
"Once I dreamt of her. She cried and begged at the door, saying that she wanted to meet her child. At first, I didn't know she was the one who gave birth to me, but I felt that she was very close to me. Later, I heard her talking with people in the Duke's Palace to know who she was."
Yan Mo's eyes are full of pity for the child. The child uses the word "She" instead of the word “Mother", but only by listening to his tone, he knows that the child still cares about the woman.
Sumen bit his finger. “Later, when I wanted to dream about her, I could dream about her, if she is not far away from me. This time... I didn't want to dream about her, but I didn't know how I managed to dream about her."
Yan Mo can now confirm that this is the specific ability of Sumen. No wonder a child can have some common sense of the world after being imprisoned for nine years. The reason is probably this ability here. He didn't hide the child and said directly to him: "You don't need to be afraid. This should be one of your abilities as a witch. And that woman has the deepest blood relationship with you. It's not surprising that you will dream of her. And I doubt that you are not dreaming, but like your soul can move out of your body. By the way, did you say that other Great Witches have the same abilities as you in the inheritance of the Great Witches?”
The child recalled carefully and shook his head. “I didn't see so much. The ability of the Great Witch I saw was different from that of me. He seemed to be able to understand and be able to talk to plants, so his drug medicine refining was the best of the White-Horn clan at that time."
Yan Mo raised the child's face and said to him cautiously, “Next time I go to the temple of Luolan City, I'll ask the Great Witch Alain if he knows someone with the same situation as you. Before that, if there's no special need, you'd better not do such an out of body game, that is, don't dream about anyone, can you do it?"
The child nodded obediently.
Having solved the first problem, Yan Mo began to solve the second one, “Are you sure you want to see that woman?”
The child hesitated longer this time.
Yan Mo waited patiently with one arm around the child.
“I... I feel like she's going to die.” The child doesn't know much about death, but he has seen the killed animals and the Hornless-men die, and the scene he just saw in his dream makes him think that the woman is going to die.
“I want her to give me a hug before she dies, just like Shifu did." The little boy said his little simple wish. He didn't know how he felt about the woman, but he saw other mothers and children in his dreams. He hoped that the woman who gave birth to him could hold him.
"Do you hate your mother?" Yan Mo sighed in his heart.
Sumen shook his head. That woman is almost a stranger to him. If she didn't come to see him every time, he wouldn't care about her. But just as he could feel that the woman was nearby, he could also feel that she didn't value him as much as she said in her mouth. He had followed her twice in his dream, and every time she left the Duke's mansion for a distance, the sadness on her face disappeared.
Yan Mo patted the child. He can understand the psychological state of children at this time. He has seen many such children in some places in his previous life. They were born separated from their mother and went on without contact. Naturally, they can't have feelings for their mothers. But after education, they know the word “Mother". When they see the scene of other mothers and children getting along, they will inevitably make some dreamy wishes to the creature called “Mother" In turn, they have high expectations of meeting their mother, but some people just want to see their mother and be done with it just like Sumen.
"Then let’s go meet her." Yan Mo made a decision for the child. Although he felt that the child didn't owe the White-Horn woman anything. There's a guide! He knew this, but he didn't let the child to see the dying mother. God knows what The Guide will find to punish him.
But although Yan Mo decided to take the child to see the White-Horn woman, his temperament would not let him beautify the woman at all, but he said with a wake-up meaning: “I want to take you to see her, because you are my disciple, I want to meet your wishes. But you should understand that you don't owe her anything. Even if she gave birth to you, but you didn't want to come to this world by yourself, and your arrival is more her plot. You do not owe her any love, you're just the product of conspiracy, you're imprisoned for nine years, and that woman has to pay half of the responsibility! So if that woman said how much she loves you, she must be lying to you. If she loves you, she wouldn't ask you to see her at this time. "
Maybe the woman didn't do this to her, maybe she was forced, but Yan Mo was not a good man, so he wouldn't tell him that to make trouble for himself and his child apprentice.
Yan Mo's words are very cold, and the child listened to them stupidly. He thought that Shifu would say "She gave birth to you after all" and so on. In the inheritance of the Great Witch, the Great Witch said this to a person.
Yan Mo picked up the child and finally said, “If she asked you too much, don't pay attention to her, eh?"
The child shook his head and threw the words of the Great Witch in the inheritance out of his head, nodded to Yan Mo, and said sincerely: "Shifu, then we won't go to see her."
Yan Mo smiled, “Go, why not?"
He'd like to see what the Red-Horn clan or the high priest Hu-Lian is up to. Just as Hu-Lian and King Nier should be able to guess that the woman is in their hands, he also understands that Hu-Lian's purpose in using the White-Horn woman is not to help her, but to keep him and Yuan Zhan in troubles because most children will want to stay with their mothers.
The most important thing is that he doesn't want his apprentice to be bothered by superfluous people. It doesn't matter if he has a White-Horn clan who makes his apprentice take responsibility. It's unnecessary to run out with an unnecessary mother.
The person sent by the Great Witch Alain didn't leave. He was waiting for a reply from Yan Mo. Because they all know that it's not up to them to decide whether or not Sumen can see that woman, and they also think carefully. They don't want him to take risks, but they don't want to bear the crime of preventing him from seeing her mother. If the woman dies, what should they do if Sumencome to accuse the
m?
Wh
en Yan Mo saw the messenger, he smiled, and the messenger blushed on the spot.
Yan Mo finally “Mercifully" did not break their intention, and asked: "Did the other party say where to meet?"
The messenger replied respectfully: "The family ran to the door of the temple and cried, saying that she wanted to see his child for the last time. The other party left the time and place for the meeting. Tomorrow morning, the E-Lan Mountain valley. "
The E-LanMountain Valley and the three cities formed a diamond shape landmark, close to the Shentu city and the Luolan City, opposite to the Xuanyu city.
Although this valley is close to the three cities, few people go to it, because it is an ancient cemetery passed down from the ancient times. There are many bodies buried in it, which is equivalent to the mass graves of Yan Mo in the previous life. Some slaves of the Hornless-men or people who died disgracefully will be thrown there. Maybe because there are too many bodies abandoned in the valley, the valley will become gloomy over time, lush forest, fog, poisonous insects, poisonous plants are not lacking, making no one dare to set foot in the daytime.
The next morning, Yan Mo, who had listened to all kinds of strange legends of the E-Lan Mountain Valley, took Sumen to an appointment, and Yuan Zhan naturally went with him.
Shortly after the three of Yan Mo left the camp, a message was quietly sent out.
When Qi Hong Zi heard the report, his expression remained unchanged: "Don't do anything to him first, keep staring at him."
The E-Lan Mountain valley.
The valley here is actually a "concave" hill. It is not high, and the highest part is about 600 meters by visual inspection. It covered a large area, almost the area of a city.
In the mountain, except for a path stepped out by others, all the other places are full of miscellaneous trees and long grass.
To avoid the fog in the mountains, Yan Mo specially waited for the sun to come out before entering the valley.
Yuan Zhan was no longer with him.
“It seems that there is a lot of fog here, and there are few birds." Yan Mo said to little Sumen.
Sumen grabbed Yan Mo's hand and looked carefully at his feet.
There are small flying insects gathered around them, but they were blocked when flying to a foot beside them.
The most amazing thing is that the long grass and rattan under his feet will automatically avoid them.
Sumen eyes were wide and he was a little scared. "Shifu, look!"
Yan Mo is no longer surprised by this. When he first arrived here, the “Spirits" here showed their affinity to him. When he last put a big blood sacrifice in the Kings City temple, he didn't even need to exchange anything with these little spirits. As long as he went to the place, no matter the plants or the rocks, they would automatically avoid him. Only occasionally, some were naughty and deliberately pestered his feet, however, will not hurt him at all.
Sometimes, Yan Mo can even feel a little flattery and fawning from the actions of these little spirits.
Yan Mo felt funny. He doesn't understand why these “Spirit" like him until now. He only knows that it's related to energy, but what's special about his energy?
"... People... There are people hiding in the mountains, many... "
Yan Mo's footsteps were slower. The wind seems to bring the whispers of the little spirits.
"Where are they hiding? Can I avoid them?” Yan Mo asked with psychic force, not expecting the little spirits to answer him.
But soon, the path ahead of him suddenly grew a lot of weeds, blocking the way, and the dense wild forest on his left side separated a path that only one person could pass through.
A smile appeared on Yan Mo's face, “Is this the right way? Thank you. "
Yan Mo turned around with little Sumen and stepped on another road.
After half an hour, Sumen's eyes on Yan Mo are more and more adoration. He thinks his Shifu is amazing! There was no road in front of him, but before Shifu came to it, there was a new path.
The road twisted and turned. Sumen has lost memory of the way for a long time, but he is not afraid at all. His Shifu also taught him some herbs on the road.
“Ah!" little Sumen jumped up in fright. He seemed to step on a hand just now?” Shifu!"
Yan Mo looked down and saw a pale palm in the damp rotten soil and a faint stench.
Yan Mo knelt down and dials, smiled, "Oh, isn't this a zombie hand mushroom? I didn't expect to see it here. "
“Mushroom?" the child was surprised and squatted down.
"Yes, and it can be eaten. It's non-toxic. It's smelly. You need to cover your nose. Do you want to take some back to eat?”
The child thought and shook his head. He doesn't want to eat the strange mushrooms that look like human hands!
Yan Mo got up, and also pulled up the child. "There will be so many terrible legends here, probably related to these zombie hands. What will be caught by the hands of the dead when walking on the road? What can you see that countless hands of the dead stretch out of the ground? Ha ha. You see, it's all... "
Yan Mo suddenly became mute. In front of him, a vacant lot suddenly appeared. There are no big trees in the vacant lot. All of them are low shrubs, which grow very sparsely. What's strange is that the soil here is very fertile, and there are many zombie hand mushrooms growing on the ground.
He thought it was a zombie hand mushroom, but when he looked carefully, he found that it was not a mushroom, but a real hand!
There is only one possibility that people will reach out to the ground like this. Here is a living pit!
"... Come on, let's go someone is looking for you... "
Yan Mo took the child's hand and ran into the path that just appeared. At the same time, he asked tentatively, "Can I get close to them?"
"... Danger... "
“I will protect myself. Please believe me." Can “Spirits" be as dangerous, those who intend to ambush them in the end how powerful are they?
Yan Mo can't hide from them all the time. He needs to know about the enemy.
"This way..." The vines that fell in front of the mountain wall crawled, revealing a narrow gap.
Yan Mo and Sumen squeeze into the gap. The gap is full of snakes and insects. When they saw them come in and take refuge they all scattered.
The gap was narrow at first and widened at the back.
In the middle, a cave appeared on the side of the mountain wall. A python swam out, spit out the snake's message to Yan Mo, and then went into the cave.
Yan Mo followed in, and Sumen was very nervous.
The cave is very long. After walking for about half an hours, they finally saw a light gap.
The python was coiled in the gap, and the snake's head swings towards the gap.
Yan Mo approached the python boldly and reached into the gap.
The gap is a little high, and little Sumen can't see outside on tiptoe.
Suddenly his body was curled up by a python, and the child was so scared that the first step was to cover his mouth first.
Yan Mo looked at him admiringly, and saw that the boa constrictor just held the child high so he could watch outside.
The python seemed to like child very much. He rolled up little Sumen with his tail and held him like this.
Sumenput down his little hand and touched the python's body.
The python hissed.
Outside, a team of six people is resting, all of them are the Hornless-men without exception.
The six Hornless-men were different in dress, appearance, gender and age. The only thing that was the same was that they all wore a bone collar on their neck.
"Strange, why can't we find those three people?" said one of the six thin middle-aged man in the Hornless-men.
"Yes, it's said that three of them were seen when they entered the mountain, but only two were left later. But when they entered the mountain, no one saw them again." Another ordinary looking woman said.
"Those two are also the demon warriors. It's strange that they can't disappear in the mountains. Did you see those three people?” A leader asked another semi old man who sat on a big stone with his eyes closed.
The half old man opened his eyes, his eyes flashed a trace of incomprehensible meaning, and shook his head.
"Can't you even see them? How can it be?!” The leader was surprised.
The voice of the semi old man was hoarse: "There is something covering my eyes, it doesn’t want me to see them."
The woman took a breath of cold air. "Why does the high priest Hu-Lian have to catch them in the E-Lan Mountain Valley, this ghostly place...?”
"Shh! Forbidden words! You dare to fault the decision of the high priest Hu-Lian. If you want to die and leave us alone!” One of the youngest men shouted.
The leader also frowned, "The E-Lan Mountain Valley is a troublesome. This place No one wants to come, and I don't know why the high priest Hu-Lian chose it. "
"The high priest Hu-Lian is probably looking for that person..." Said the thin man who spoke first hesitantly.
Everyone else seemed to understand who he was talking about, and they were all silent.
Yan Mo, hiding in the mountain wall, is curious. Who is that man? What skill does he have? Why did Hu-Lian specially arrange the meeting in the E-Lan Mountain Valley?
Should he continue to take Sumen to the appointed place?
