Forgotten River (8)

Forgotten River (8)

The top of the mountain is lonely and cold. From a high place, one can see the world as far as the eye can see. Looking at the moon, I wonder what the smiles of every household in the world mean when they are busy. She is not happy about it, nor is she sad or angry. She seems to be emotionless. Her eyes look at the moon. It was like there was thousands of years of ice hidden inside, making people afraid to look at each other, except for Suo Yue, who seemed to be born with the ability to understand Wang Yue's emotions. Since she was silent, she also knew what Wang Yue was thinking.

"I have killed those lonely ghosts."

"Really?" Mochizuki slowly turned around and looked at her sister, without any smile on her face. "They will never die. As long as there are humans, there will be lonely ghosts."

Suo Yue listened and smiled mischievously: "Then I will kill them until there are no more."

"Sister..." Wangyue glanced at the butterfly knife on Suoyue's waist. After thinking about it, she asked in a low voice: "Why do you like killing so much? Do they have to die?"

"They are causing harm to the world, so of course they have to be killed." Suo Yue answered matter-of-factly.

After hearing this, Wang Yue stopped talking. The world was so big that it seemed that this place was no longer his place, so he sighed, turned around and left. Watching Wang Yue's leaving figure, Suo Yue did not stop her. After all, it was her sister's choice. Suo Yue also knew that people here were afraid of Wang Yue, because Wang Yue always helped the fairies and ghosts who had harmed people. It would be strange if people were not afraid. Suo Yue didn't know if she and her sister were going to take different paths from the beginning. Suo Yue only knew that her responsibility was to get rid of ghosts. As for Mochizuki's departure, Suo Yue could only take it calmly.

Wangyue also knew that Suoyue would not stop her, so she walked slowly, admiring the scenery in the world while treating the monsters and monsters. Strangely enough, those monsters that were accustomed to harming people did not harm Wangyue. Meaning, they seemed to be in awe of Wangyue's ability. Not to mention that the little monsters didn't dare to do anything, even the big monsters didn't dare to make trouble. It was a calm journey all the way. Wangyue walked through thousands of mountains and rivers, and came to a place where there were only monsters and monsters. But an uninhabited place. This place is called Guiwu Mountain. It is surrounded by mountains and shrouded in mist. Demons and ghosts live in various caves in the rocks. Wangyue also found a free place and lived there. Every day, Wangyue went to the mountain to collect herbs, develop herbal medicines, and treat ghosts. , never too busy, nor free. It seems that it has always been peaceful here, with no major disturbances, which further confirms Mochizuki's thoughts. Because he has seen too much killing and war in the world, Mochizuki feels that ghosts seem to be more peaceful than humans, and he can't help but like this place.

One day, Wang Yue was making medicine in the cave as usual. Suddenly, a little demon's call came from outside the cave. Hearing the voice, Wang Yue knew it was Xiao Lian. Xiao Lian was a banshee. Although she was hundreds of years old, she was still a child. He likes to play in Wangyue's cave on weekdays, so Wangyue and Xiao Lian are quite familiar with each other.

"Sister Wangyue, it's not good!" Xiao Lian ran to Wangyue Cave with bare feet. Her little face was rosier than the red clothes she was wearing. She was out of breath, as if she was walking in a hurry.

Wangyue glanced at Xiao Lian and asked calmly: "Why are you so panicked?"

"When Grandma Black Demon went down the mountain to look for food today, she was injured by a very powerful person. She was seriously injured and almost ran out of breath." Xiao Lian answered loudly. The Grandma Black Demon in her mouth was a black bear demon. , is much older than Xiao Lian, and has already entered old age, so he has to rely on sucking people's energy to survive. This is the tragedy of being a demon but not being able to follow the right path. If you don't rely on human soul energy, you will inevitably die of old age.

When Wang Yue heard this, she frowned. She had also advised Hei Yao that at Hei Yao's current age, if he went down the mountain to look for food, he would not be able to defeat a Taoist priest with high magic power, let alone a real master. Mochi Yue picked up the medicine basket and walked out of the hole. Xiao Lian followed Wangyue, because she knew that Wangyue must go to see the black monsters. Fortunately, the distance was not too far. She only had to walk to the opposite mountain and climb halfway up the mountain. However, Wangyue could not compare with these monsters. Although she has the ability to save ghosts and cure demons, in the final analysis she is just a mortal, and she is exhausted even when she goes up the mountain. But with the help of Xiao Lian, she can stop. This little demon is close to Mochizuki. Although she is still small, her magic power is Yes, after a while, the two people came to the black demon's cave. The cave was five feet deep. Standing at the entrance, he vaguely heard a sound coming from inside. Mochizuki could tell that it was the black demon crying out in pain, so he carried the basket and walked in. After entering the cave, Xiao Lian first helped Wangyue light the torch on the wall, making the light inside look brighter. Only then did Wangyue see the black bear demon lying on the stone bed. The black bear demon was probably possessed by a Dafa practitioner. Wounded, he could no longer maintain his human form and exposed his bear body. His huge body occupied the entire stone bed. The black bear demon heard the sound of the basket being placed on the stone table, and knew that Xiao Lian had invited Mochizuki, so he turned over with difficulty and looked at Mochizuki.

"Miss Wangyue." The black bear demon's voice was very old. Before he became a demon, his face was injured by a sharp weapon, leaving a long scar.

Mochizuki turned to look at the black bear demon and asked softly: "Didn't I tell you not to go down the mountain? Why do you still want to go?"

"I..." The Black Bear Demon knew that it was her fault for not listening to Wang Yue's advice. When Wang Yue asked this, she was naturally speechless. After hearing this, the ordinary little pity hurriedly interjected: "Grandma Black Demon, Sister Wang Yue said , your body can’t go down the mountain anymore.”

The light in the black bear's eyes suddenly dimmed. If she didn't go down the mountain, there would be no food. Without food, she would die. But she still wanted to live well. Xiao Lian knew this, so she patted her chest and said, " Don’t be afraid, Black Demon Grandma, Xiao Lian will help Black Demon Grandma find food when she grows up.”

"Be good..." The black bear demon couldn't help but smile when he heard Xiao Lian's words. Since it would be a long time until Xiao Lian grew up, the black bear demon was already very touched that Xiao Lian could say such words to himself.

After listening to the conversation between the two goblins, Mochizuki shook her head, poured the smashed concoction into a stone bowl, and walked up to the black bear demon.

"Drink this."

"Thank you, Miss Wangyue." The black bear demon held up the stone bowl with his palm and drank it down. Before he finished the drink, before he put the bowl away, the black bear demon spat out a mouthful of black blood. While Xiao Lian was frightened, the black bear The demon was slightly angry for a moment, but because his body immediately felt better, he understood the reason why Mochizuki prescribed this prescription. Although this prescription made the black bear demon vomit blood, it also cleared the poison in the body. For the demon, the medicine was The righteous way has nothing to do with poisoning people, so the black bear demon is naturally grateful to Wangyue. "Thanks to Miss Mochizuki, I can be saved."

Mochizuki smiled faintly. She didn't notice what the black bear demon did just now. After the black bear demon vomited blood, he thought that he was going to harm the black bear demon. That's why the black bear demon had the idea of ​​killing him at that moment. Mochizuki felt that this The thought was ridiculous, so he smiled and said, "Are you sincerely thanking me or do you want to kill me?"

"I..." The black bear demon lowered his head. Xiao Lian on the side heard that the black bear demon wanted to kill Wangyue, so he hurriedly stood in front of Wangyue and shouted: "Grandma Black Demon, you can't kill sister Wangyue, it was sister Wangyue who saved her." you!"

"Hey..." The black bear demon didn't know how to express her feelings. She was originally an old bear in the mountains. When she was about to die, she never thought about becoming a demon or a monster. If she hadn't met the hunter who hunted her, , I believe that none of this will change. What is hateful is that human hunters are greedy and want to scrape the fur off their own bodies while they are still alive. This is an extremely terrifying thing for black bears, so black bears can cultivate After entering the demon world, she turned into an old demon. It can only be said that the irony of the world is that she was originally injured by humans, and now she is saved by humans. Whether she is grateful or hateful to humans, the black bear demon cannot tell for a while, but What she was sure of was that Mochizuki was really a very special person. After seeing too many humans in the world, the black bear demon felt that Mochizuki was the only one who could understand the mood of these demons.

Mochizuki took the stone bowl from the black bear demon's hand, put it on the stone table, and began to pound the herbs. These medicines were collected by her on the mountain and were used to treat trauma. The reason why she wanted to make medicine now was because Mochizuki discovered that the black bear demon had internal injuries in addition to , and there are very serious injuries. There is a wound about a foot long on the back of the black bear demon. Although as a demon, the bleeding is not as gushing as that of ordinary animals, but if it is allowed to go on, the wound will be harmful to The black bear demon is disadvantageous, especially since the black bear demon is an old demon and does not have much ability to recover itself.

"Who hurt you so badly today?" Wangyue asked while pounding the medicine, and the sound of pounding the medicine echoed in the cave.

When the black bear demon heard Wang Yue's question, he quickly replied: "I don't know who he is. He doesn't look like a Taoist priest, but a girl."

"Girl?" Wang Yue was stunned for a moment and stopped what she was doing. In this world, as far as Wang Yue knew, apart from Suo Yue's ability, I'm afraid no girl could hurt the demon so seriously. "What kind of girl?"

How could the black bear demon remember what kind of girl she was? She only saw a back figure. The opponent's attack speed was very fast and she couldn't see clearly at all. Even how the opponent hurt herself, the black bear demon couldn't see clearly, but she remembered a moment. thing. "She seems to have a scent..."

"What kind of scent is that? Grandma Black Demon." Xiao Lian was still a little demon and had never even seen a few humans. Mochizuki was the first human that Xiao Lian had seen, so she was very curious.

The black bear demon licked his lips and replied in a low voice: "It tastes very delicious..."

"..." When Wang Yue heard what the black bear demon said, she knew that her sister Suo Yue must have come. She didn't know whether Suo Yue followed her to find her, or whether the demon slayer had come to this place. She only knew that if Suo Yue found this place, , then all the goblins and ghosts in Guiwu Mountain will be killed by Suo Yue. Thinking of this, Wang Yue glanced at Xiao Lian. Xiao Lian was an innocent little demon. He didn't even hurt anyone. He just fed on the vegetation in the mountain every day. Is it true? Do you want to watch Suo Yue drive everyone here away? Wangyue felt a little hesitant...
