Jun Ruyu

Years later, Wen Ruohan and Mo Zhuliu left Qishan and began to travel around.

At the beginning, Mo Zhuliu extracted many interesting contents from the book given by Lan Anting, such as rare and strange beasts, strange legends, which made people dazzled and excited.

With a wave of his hand, Wen Ruohan decided to go everywhere.

Be it perilous mountains or Xuefeng, lush green forests, torrential rivers, the aspirations of young people are unstoppable.

Every time Mo Zhuliu went, he wrote a letter and sent it to Gusu.

Wen Ruohan was really hard to take care of, Mo Zhuliu managed to get him to give up and move the two-headed lion back to the inn, and the next day he caught a nine-headed bird and raised it secretly, which disturbed the inn's chickens and dogs, and finally the chickens were killed by him. The pets ate it and lost a lot of money.

Mo Zhuliu thought, this is not going to work, the young master of his family has to divert his attention, take a good rest, don't be rash, he really can't control it.

I just heard from the owner of the inn that there will be a lantern festival here in a few days, and there will be lanterns and festoons everywhere. Men, women and children will go out together to watch the lanterns, eat snacks, and guess word puzzles. Lantern Festival.

Mo Zhuliu decisively dragged Wen Ruohan to participate.Before the trip, the other party was still not happy, so Mo Zhuliu had no choice but to persuade him: This kind of folk activities has always had a source, maybe you can find out some stories about ancient monsters haunting the world.

Wen Ruohan frowned, thinking it made sense.

However, there were too many people on the street, and the young master decided to go back to the inn after being hit by someone for the third time.

"Let's get on the boat, get on the boat." Mo Zhuliu held him back.

They want to rent a flower boat to enjoy the lanterns.Mo Zhuliu squeezed his wallet, sighed, and finally chose to share the apartment with others. Although it would be a bit noisy, it was better than crowding people on the street.

The flower boat is very big, it is said to be a boat built by the government, and it is specially released on this festival for the common people to have fun.

There is a wide river in this town, usually merchant ships come and go, the river is blocked today, also specially for this lantern festival.

There was a singer singing in the boat hall, she seemed to be a singer at home brought by some merchant. The girl had a pretty face and was wearing a flowered dress, which took away the brilliance of the lantern. Many people sat around her , Shout out to her.

The singer is probably from Jiangnan, singing babbling Jiangnan ditties.

Men and women on the boat came here for a tryst. The men listened well, and some women asked to change the theme of the song.

Between women, a single look connects hearts, so the singer covered her lips with her sleeves and smiled, holding her pipa and said softly, the following is a song that is very popular in the south recently, I just learned it from my sister, the name is "Spring Mountain Hate" ".

The tune is very capable of touching people's heartstrings, and the lyrics in the song make the girls below extremely shy.

Mo Zhuliu listened to it, but he didn't understand the story the song wanted to tell. He wanted to ask Wen Ruohan, but he drank some wine and looked out the window. It seemed that the lantern was more attractive than the singer. At this time, there was someone beside him. I don't understand as much as he does.

"Sanlang, what story does this song tell?"

It was the clear voice of a young man. Mo Zhuliu looked over and saw a man in white with a bamboo hat hanging around his neck. He was asking the man beside him seriously. The man was dressed in red and his right eye was covered by an eyepatch. Let's add a heroic spirit.

The man curled his lips slightly, and said meaningfully: "It's telling a story about me and my brother."

The man in white said "Ah?", was taken aback for a moment and then laughed, blushing helplessly and said, "Sanlang, you're teasing me again."

The man in red walked over recklessly, and his exposed left eye suddenly looked at Mo Zhuliu as a warning.

Mo Zhuliu smiled friendly.

The man in white seemed to have noticed something, and when he turned his head, he saw Mo Zhuliu, and asked the man in red strangely, did he know someone?

The man in red simply said that he didn't know him.Can't wait for others to disappear quickly.

At this moment, Wen Ruohan turned his head impatiently, and asked when Mo Zhuliu would end, and when would he go to Tonglu Mountain.

The man in red froze suddenly, and the man in white smiled and pushed his face away.

Don't be silent, keep silent.

Then the two sides got to know each other briefly.

The man in white is called Xie Lian, he is a Taoist priest, he looks weak like a young master, but according to himself, he once performed chest breaking boulders on the street...in order to save money to cultivate temples; the man in red is called Huacheng, he seems to be a wealthy man The city lord expressed his disapproval of Mo Zhuliu's insertion.

Xie Lian said: "Do you want to go to Tonglu Mountain?"

Mo Zhuliu nodded and said, "Yes, I heard that Tonglu Mountain has wonderful sights, so I want to go hunting there at night, maybe I can see interesting monsters."

Xie Lian smiled: "Ah, it turned out to be a Taoist, it's a pleasure to meet you."

Wen Ruohan asked, "Have you ever been to Tonglu Mountain?"

Xie Lian scratched his face, and didn't know how to explain it for a moment, so he could only say: "I have a master who often plays mahjong at the foot of Tonglu Mountain..."

After finishing speaking, he himself laughed, and then said seriously: "Tonglu Mountain... is very dangerous, if you two want to go, please be very careful."

Mo Zhuliu cupped his hands gratefully and said, thank you for reminding me.

At this time, Xie Lian poked Huacheng who was silent beside him, and after coaxing him, the other party opened his mouth and said casually:

"Monsters gather around Tonglu Mountain, especially the traps set by ghosts and monsters. If you encounter a ghost city, don't go in, otherwise I can't guarantee... Oh, and there were gods fighting there before, and it seems that some kind of enchantment has been split. If you are interested, you can go in and take a walk.”

Huacheng raised the corner of his mouth, what he said was like a joke.

The flower boat traveled for a round, and the passengers disembarked one after another, and Mo Zhuliu also parted from Xie Lian and the others.

Wen Ruohan was still focused on the Tonglu Mountain, Mo Zhuliu shook his head, so he had no choice but to tell him that he was leaving tomorrow.

Fireworks suddenly started to go off outside the city. Mo Zhuliu was startled. Looking up, the colorful fireworks were ordinary folk fireworks.

No wonder there were a lot fewer people on the street, and they all went to the city gate to watch the fireworks.

"Want to see?"

Wen Ruohan suddenly made a sound.Mo Zhuliu looked up at him, and the fireworks lit up in a few seconds, illuminating the other person's brows and eyes softly.

"There are too many people, that's all. Here is fine too." Mo Zhuliu thought for a few seconds, still worried that Wen Ruohan would be squeezed.

The small vendor was absent-mindedly pasting the lanterns, looking up from time to time, as if he really wanted to go to the gate of the city to see the fireworks.

Mo Zhuliu said, while there are few people now, let's go to the river to put lanterns.

When he bought a lantern, Wen Ruohan asked why he only bought one, Mo Zhuliu suppressed his smile, and went back to the small vendor to buy another one.

When the two went to the river, they happened to see Xie Lian and Hua Cheng again. The two of them were standing under the tree on the opposite side of the river. Hua Cheng bowed his head and whispered a few words. Xie Lian suddenly raised his head, and then kissed him.

The two kissed lingeringly in the dark, completely unaware that there was someone on the other side.

"So, they are a couple." Mo Zhuliu whispered.

Wen Ruohan also squatted down, let out the lantern, and said calmly, "You know?"

"Ah?" Mo Zhuliu was taken aback.

Wen Ruohan raised one corner of his mouth and said, "The song "Hate in the Spring Mountain" on the boat is about the love between the master and the apprentice in the legend."

Mo Zhuliu said "oh", then closed his eyes and made a wish, and then released the lantern.

Wen Ruohan paused and asked what he was doing.

"Make a wish. Before setting off the lanterns, you have to make a wish."

Wen Ruohan frowned and said dissatisfiedly, you didn't say it earlier.

Mo Zhuliu said casually, besides the Wen family, what other wishes do you have.

"That's right." After Wen Ruohan finished speaking, he stretched out his hand to pick up Mo Zhuliu's lantern, almost knocking it over, but Mo Zhuliu grabbed his hand in a hurry.

"Boom!" "Crack!"

The second round of fireworks began to bloom again, and the night scenery flickered, making one's heart tickle.

As soon as Mo Zhuliu let go of his hand, he was held back.

Wen Ruohan didn't wear enough clothes, and he didn't listen to persuasion before going out, his hands were cold.

The two looked at each other until Mo Zhuliu lowered his eyes as if admitting defeat, put his other hand on the back of Wen Ruohan's hand, and said, your hands are really cold.

He covered it like this for a while, until the other person's hand felt his own temperature.

The two went to the ferry early in the morning to catch the boat.

There is white mist floating on the river surface, the fog is a bit heavy, and the temperature is cooler.Mo Zhuliu didn't sleep well last night, and couldn't help taking a nap on the boat. When he woke up, he was covered with Wen Ruohan's robe.

"Almost there." Wen Ruohan looked at the book, as if he had immediately noticed that Mo Zhuliu had woken up, and said without raising his head.

Mo Zhuliu went to the bow of the boat to look around, and saw a mountain forest not far away, which was the location of Tonglu Mountain.

Although Huacheng said it casually like a joke, they still took the warning to heart, and were very careful about the muddy ground under their feet when walking in the mountains and forests.

The two deliberately chose daytime to come. However, the lush branches and leaves in the forest covered most of the sky, leaving only a few fragments of sunlight, so all that people could see was darkness. It was indeed a very suitable environment for the growth of monsters and ghosts.

"Did you hear anything?"

Wen Ruohan asked this question, Mo Zhuliu heard it, there was indeed a vague and noisy human voice, as lively as last night's lantern festival, and a few steps forward, the voice became clearer, the firelight shone through the branches and leaves, and even some girls were pleasant to hear Laughter, the light skirt reveals a corner from behind the thick tree trunk.

The two looked at each other and knew it must be a ghost trap, so they turned around and left without staying.

"Eh? Why are you leaving? Don't leave~"

The girl's voice was close to his ears, Mo Zhuliu's eyes froze, he drew his sword and slashed behind him.

"Yeah~" the girl yelled coquettishly, and the next sentence suddenly became the voice of a middle-aged man, roaring, "Rough human beings!"

Mo Zhuliu didn't feel that he was hitting something, and he didn't want to fight. He turned his toes and ran quickly to the depths of the forest, trying to lure the ghost away. With a flash of light, a long sword nailed the ghost to the tree trunk.

"Ha!" Mo Zhuliu swung his sword decisively again, and the ghost was wiped out.

Wen Ruohan pulled out the sword, intentionally cutting the air around Mo Zhuliu, and holding the sword by his side, with an ugly expression on his face, he whispered: "You just..."

Mo Zhuliu's eyes widened, and he saw that there was already a commotion in the direction of the ghost city just now, and several ghosts were coming towards them.

"Master, there are too many ghosts, let's get out first."

"Alright."

When the two came, they made a mark on the tree, and they just had to follow the mark to go back. However, the group of ghosts stood there, looking around, as if they were looking for the ghost they had killed.

Mo Zhuliu thought, there is only one way to let them escape now.

"I won't allow it." Wen Ruohan knew what he wanted to say before he could open his mouth.

Mo Zhuliu said with a headache: "I mean, I'll throw the sword in the opposite direction later to attract their attention, and we'll take the opportunity to rush out together. My sword is worthless, so I don't need to take it back, just run away." .When we get to the river, the sun will come out, and the ghosts will not dare to catch up."

Wen Ruohan stared at him fixedly, thought for a few seconds, and then said hello.

"One—two—"

"go!"

Mo Zhuliu flew out with his sword, the long sword was spinning in the air, the glaring light of the sword startled the ghosts, and all the ghosts looked at the uninvited guest for a while.

With luck under his feet, Mo Zhuliu followed Wen Ruohan and ran out immediately.

Jian flew for a while, but was caught by a ghost with empty hands. It looked at it carefully for a moment, and suddenly shouted: "There are humans!"

At this time, all the ghosts on the scene became commotions, and even a sharp-eyed one immediately spotted the two running in the forest.

"Where!"

Mo Zhuliu mobilized his whole body's spiritual energy, swung his right palm, and a tree was snapped off by him, blocking the ghost's way.

"It's too late, I'll go over there, young master, let's meet on the shore!"

Seeing that Mo Zhuliu was already running in another direction, Wen Ruohan frowned, and immediately drew his sword out of its sheath.

A few ghosts were blocked by the broken tree, wandered for a few steps, and all chased Mo Zhuliu.

There is the sound of leaves "swish" next to my ears, as if the enemy is right beside me, the forest is gray, it is fog or maybe flying dust, occasionally a few beams of sunlight shoot down through the branches and leaves, but it can only disturb people's sight .

Mo Zhuliu's feet suddenly went soft, and he tripped over a protruding tree root and fell to the ground without paying attention. He rolled a few times before stopping. The hard stone cut his clothes and arms several times, and the pain made him want to curse.

The ghost chased after him, Mo Zhuliu raised his palm for luck, but a tendon in his arm twitched suddenly, unable to move.

"Wow!"

At this moment, Wen Ruohan appeared from the side, with a swipe of the sword, he cut the ghost in half.

Clothes fluttered, dust flew, and there was a fine light on his body.

"Behind!"

"Ugh—!"

Mo Zhuliu hugged the person under him tightly, and the ghost's sharp claws were like sharp knives, scratching fiercely behind his back.

Wen Ruohan stiffly pushed away the shoulders of the person on him, and Mo Zhuliu ignored the injury, led Wen Ruohan in a circle to avoid the attack, and then used the momentum to push him hard.

As soon as the ghost hit the air, Mo Zhuliu panted heavily and moved his palm again, but was suddenly attacked by another one and kicked away. However, the moment he landed, Mo Zhuliu only felt his body go soft, and the soil directly sank into his body. down!

It's a hole!

Wen Ruohan slashed the monsters several times to force them to retreat, and then jumped into the hole like crazy——

thump.

A heart sank suddenly.

He knelt on the wet mud, gritted his teeth angrily, and dug his fingers deep into the mud.
