And this is not the reason for Sumen's real hesitation. He hesitated because he had a dream before he received the message.
Yan Mo saw that the child seemed to be afraid of something, and naturally added a little soul power to his words, "Don't be afraid, tell Master, what did you dream about?"
The child's emotions were obviously soothed, and his body was relaxed, "I... dreamed that she was crying and cursing, and she was covered in blood, lying in a large and gorgeous room."
This she should be Sumen's mother, right? Yan Mo sat down on the ground very casually, took the child to his lap after sitting down, and asked him: "Have you dreamed about your mother before?"
Su Men nodded and shook his head again, "Maybe I dreamed about it, but I don't remember it."
While the master and apprentice were talking, Yuan Zhan was called away.
Now due to oppression, the Hornless people barely formed a team to resist tyranny, but the situation inside has changed. If Yuan Yan and the two hadn't rescued many hidden hornless human demon warriors during these days, and these demon warriors Many stayed to join the rebels, and I am afraid that there will be more problems.
Yuan Zhan is not dedicated to managing this team. He is waiting for the Houshi to bring the Demon Abyss team. When the Demon Warrior team from the Demon Abyss arrives, some hornless people who can make a fuss for a little profit and food Naturally, someone will manage and train.
Now he spends more time absorbing the energy of the bloodstone, because he knows very well that these hornless people are just the rabble that his priests said, and it is impossible to rely on them to fight against the horned people . Even if people from Devil Abyss came, if he and Yan Mo were not powerful enough, the team would still be destroyed in a short time.
Besides, on Yan Mo's side, he didn't know what special abilities Su Men had, and Su Men didn't tell him, and the Alan Great Witch naturally wouldn't tell him. He didn't think the child was lying to him if he didn't tell him, maybe Sumen didn't even know what his abilities were.
"Apart from occasionally dreaming of your mother, can you dream of anything else? Like your father or someone else?" Yan Mo guided.
"I will dream of them, I..." Su Men looked into Master's eyes. He has a big secret that he has never dared to tell others, but Master should be able to believe it, right
"Master," the child hugged Yan Mo's neck and snuggled into his arms, "There is something... I told you, you won't be afraid of me, will you?"
"Won't."
"you promise?"
Yan Mo smiled and raised his finger, "I promise."
Only then did the child agree to continue: "Master, I... I was always locked in the house by that person before, and he wouldn't let me go anywhere. Sometimes Buhua would take me for a walk in the yard when he saw that I was pitiful. Once I tried to sneak out while they were not paying attention, but I was caught, and that person locked me in the house and tied me up with a bone chain."
Yan Mo didn't have any bad feelings towards Duke Morton at first, but when he heard the child say this, his perception of Duke Morton immediately became negative. Even if Sumen was born unpopular and blessed, but if you really don't If you like this child, you can either give the child to the mother, or give the Sumen to the White Horn Temple, even if you throw it away, or kill him if you are cruel, but the Duke of Morton kept him. I was released, but the child was imprisoned for nine years, and he was not allowed to touch anything. He was raised like an animal. This kind of life in captivity is more terrible than physical abuse. The child is not locked up. The gods help.
Sumen was still there whispering his secret, "I'm very sad. I saw the birds flying in the sky and envied them to fly around. I thought it would be great if I could fly to the sky like the birds. Then …I dreamed that I was flying, and I saw… my body was below, but I was floating above.”
Is this out of body? Yan Mo felt sorry for the child.
"At first I was very scared, but I thought it was a dream, and I wanted to go out so much, so I floated out, and then I saw outside." Xiao Sumen's tone was full of dreams, and he told his master He shared his mood and experiences when he flew out to see the world for the first time, and talked a lot.
Yan Mo waited until the child took the initiative to stop, and then asked him in detail: "How long can you let the soul body fly out each time, that is, how long can you have such a dream?"
The child frowned, "It was very short at first, and then it gradually became longer, but the longest can't exceed one corner, otherwise you will have a very painful headache when you wake up."
Yan Mo was speechless, this child was too bold, he was not afraid that he would not be able to come back if he just floated out like this, but he could also understand the child's mood, maybe Sumenba had to return to his body at that time, and he Thought he was dreaming!
"I had a dream once. I dreamed of her. She was crying and begging at the door, saying that she wanted to see her child. At first I didn't know that she was the one who gave birth to me. I just felt that she was very close to me. Later, I heard her You can only find out who she is by talking to someone from the Duke's Palace."
Yan Mo's eyes were full of pity for the child, the child used "she" to replace the word mother, but just from his tone, it was clear that the child still cared about that woman in his heart.
Sumen bit her finger, "Later, sometimes when I really wanted to dream of her, I could dream of her, if she was not far from me. This time... I didn't want to dream of her, but I don't know why I dreamed about her."
Yan Mo can now be sure that this is the child's ability. No wonder the child has a certain amount of common sense after being imprisoned for nine years. This is probably the reason. He didn't hide the child, and said directly to him: "Don't be afraid, this should be One of your abilities as a great witch. And that woman has the deepest blood relationship with you, it is not surprising that you dream of her, and I suspect that this is probably not a dream, but something like a soul out of body. By the way, you get Does the great witch inheritance say that other great witches have the same ability as you?"
The child recalled carefully and shook his head, "I didn't see that much. The ability of the big witch I saw was different from mine. He seemed to be able to understand the words of plants, so his witch medicine refining was the best of the Baijiao tribe at that time." .”
Yan Mo raised the child's face, and said to him a little cautiously: "Next time I go to the Loran City Temple, I will ask the Great Witch of Alan to see if he knows the same situation as you. Before that, if there is no special need , you should stop doing this kind of soul-out-of-body game, that is, don’t want to dream of someone subjectively, can you do it?”
The child nodded obediently.
After solving the first problem, Yan Mo started to solve the second one, "Do you... want to meet that woman?"
The child hesitated longer this time.
Yan Mo waited patiently with one arm around the child.
"I... want to go, I feel like she is going to die." The child doesn't understand much about death, but he has seen those killed animals and hornless people, and the scene he saw in his dream just now made him It felt like the woman was going to die.
"I want to let her hug me before she dies, just like Master, you hug me like this." The little child expressed his little simple wish. He didn't know what kind of feelings he had for that woman, but he had seen scenes of other mothers getting along with their children in his dreams, and he hoped that the woman who gave birth to him would also give him a hug.
"Do you hate your mother?" Yan Mo sighed in his heart.
Su Men shook his head, that woman was almost a stranger to him, if she hadn't said that she wanted to see him every time she came to make trouble, he would not have cared about her. But just as he could feel that the woman was nearby, he could also feel that she didn't value her as much as she said. He had followed her twice in his dreams, and each time when she left the Duke's mansion for a certain distance, the sadness on her face disappeared.
Yan Mo patted the child. He could understand the child's psychological state at this time. He had seen many such children in some places in his previous life. They know the word "mother", and when they see other mothers and children getting along, they will inevitably beautify the creature "mother" to a certain extent, and then have high expectations for seeing their own mother, but some people Just like Sumen, he just wanted to meet and settle things.
"Then go and meet her." Yan Mo helped the child make a decision, although he felt in his heart that the child didn't owe the white-horned woman anything at all, but... isn't there a guide here! He knew about this, but he didn't let the child see his dying mother. God knows what name the guide will find to punish him.
But even though Yan Mo decided to take the child to meet the woman with white horns, his temperament would not allow him to beautify that woman at all, instead he had a sense of awakening: "The reason I want to take you to meet her is because you are My disciple, I want to fulfill your wish. But you have to 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 hers Design, you are not the crystallization of someone's love, you are just the product of conspiracy, you have been imprisoned for nine years, and that woman has to pay half of the responsibility! So if that woman tells you how much she loves you, she must be lying to you, if she really loves you , she won't beg you to see her at this time."
Maybe that woman didn't treat Sumen like that, maybe she was just out of compulsion, but Yan Mo is not a kind person, so he wouldn't tell Sumen such things to cause trouble for himself and the child.
What Yan Mo said was very cold, and the child was dumbfounded. He thought his master would say "after all, she gave birth to you" or something. In the legacy of the great witch, that great witch said this to one person.
Yan Mo picked up the child, and finally said: "If she asks you too much, ignore her, huh?"
The child shook his head and threw out the words of the great witch in the inheritance, nodded vigorously to Yan Mo, and said sincerely: "Master, then we won't go to see her."
Yan Mo laughed, "Go, why not?"
He wants to see what the Red Horn Clan or that high priest Hu Lian is doing. Just like Hu Lian and King Neil should be able to guess that Sumen is in their hands, he also understands that Hu Lian's purpose of using the white-horned woman is not for Sumen, but to keep him and Yuanzhan.
The most important thing is that he doesn't want his apprentice to be troubled by extra people. It's fine if there is a white-horned clan that makes his apprentice take responsibility, but it's unnecessary to run out with an unconscious mother.
The person sent by Alan Dawu didn't leave, he was waiting for Yan Mo's reply. Because Yalan and the others know that whether Su Men wants to see that woman is not up to Su Men to decide, and they are also a little cautious. They don't want Su Men to take risks, but they don't want to bear the burden of preventing Su Men from seeing their mother. What if the woman died because of this, and the great witch Sumen hated them
Yan Mo laughed when he saw the courier, the courier was thin-skinned and blushed on the spot.
Yan Mo finally "kindly" did not expose their plan, and asked: "Did the other party say where they want to meet?"
The messenger replied respectfully: "That family member ran to the gate of the temple and cried, saying that he wanted to see his child for the last time. The other party left a time and place for the meeting. Tomorrow morning, Elan Valley."
Elan Valley and the three cities just formed a diamond shape, close to Shentu City and Luolan City, and opposite to Xuanyu City.
Although this valley is close to the three cities, few people come to it, because there is an ancient cemetery handed down from ancient times, and there are countless corpses buried in it, which is equivalent to the mass grave in Yan Mo's previous life. People who are dishonored will be thrown there, perhaps because there are too many corpses abandoned in the valley. Over time, this valley becomes overcast, with lush forests, miasma, poisonous insects, and poisonous plants. No one dares to step in easily.
The next morning, Yan Mo, who had heard all kinds of bizarre legends in the Elan Valley, took Su Menqian to the appointment, and Yuan Zhan naturally followed.
Not long after the three of Yan Mo left the camp, someone quietly passed on the news.
When Qi Hongzhi heard the report, his expression remained unchanged and he said: "Don't touch him yet, keep watching."
Elan Valley.
It is said to be a valley here, but it is actually a "concave" shaped hill. The mountain is not high, and the highest point is only about 600 meters by visual inspection, but it occupies a large area, almost equivalent to the area of a city.
Except for a small path stepped on by people, the other places in the mountain are full of miscellaneous trees, grass and vines.
In order to avoid the miasma in the mountains, Yan Mo waited for the sun to come out before entering the valley.
At this time, Yuan Zhan was no longer by his side.
"It seems that the miasma here is very strong, and there are few birds." Yan Mo said to Xiao Sumen.
Su Men grabbed Yan Mo's hand and looked carefully at his feet.
Small flying insects gathered around them, but when they flew within a foot of them, they were all blocked.
The most amazing thing is that the long grass and vines under his feet will automatically avoid them.
Su Men opened his eyes wide, a little scared, "Master, look!"
Yan Mo is no longer surprised by this. When he first arrived here, the "gods" here showed closeness to him, and after he put a big blood sacrifice in the Wangcheng Temple last time, he didn't even need to stop What to exchange with these little elves, as long as he walks, no matter the vegetation or rocks will automatically avoid it, only occasionally some mischievous ones will deliberately wrap his feet, but it will not hurt him in the slightest.
Sometimes, Yan Mo could even feel a little bit of flattery and flattery from the actions of these elves.
Yan Mo is funny, he still doesn't understand why these "gods" like him, he only knows that it has something to do with energy, but what is so special about his energy
“… people,… people hiding in the mountains, many…”
Yan Mo's footsteps paused slightly, and the sound of the wind seemed to carry the whispers of the elves.
"Where are they hiding? Can I avoid them?" When Yan Mo asked this question with his soul power, he didn't expect the elves to answer him.
But soon, a lot of weeds suddenly grew on the path in front of him, blocking the way, and the dense wild forest on his left separated a path that only allowed one person to pass.
A smile appeared on Yan Mo's face, "Are you going this way? Thank you."
Yan Mo led Xiao Sumen to turn around and set foot on another road.
After walking half a corner, Su Men looked at Yan Mo with more and more admiration. He thought his master was amazing! It looked like there was no road ahead, but before his master came to the front, a new path appeared there.
The road twists and turns, and Su Men has lost his way for a long time, but he is not afraid at all. His master even taught him some herbs on the road.
"Ah!" Little Sumen jumped up in fright. He seemed to have stepped on a human hand just now? "Master!"
Yan Mo lowered his head, only to see a pale palm protruding from the damp rotten soil, and a faint stench.
Yan Mo knelt down and dialed it, laughing: "Hey, isn't this a zombie hand mushroom? I didn't expect to see it here."
"Mushroom?" The child was surprised and also squatted down.
"Yes, and it's still edible. It's non-toxic, but it smells bad. You need to cover your nose to eat it. Do you want to pick some and eat it?"
The child Pululu shook his head, he doesn't want to eat a strange mushroom that looks like a human hand!
Yan Mo got up and pulled the child up, "There are so many terrible legends here, probably related to these zombie hands, why are you being caught by the hands of the dead when you walk on the road, what are you seeing countless hands of the dead sticking out of the ground?" , huh, huh. Look, this place is full of... "
Yan Mo suddenly became dumb, and an open space suddenly appeared in front of him. There were no big trees on the open space, but only some low shrubs, which were still very sparse. Zombie hand mushroom.
He thought it was a zombie hand mushroom, but when he looked closely, he found that it was not a mushroom, but a real human hand!
There is only one possibility for human hands sticking out of the ground like this, this is a living burial pit!
"...here we come, let's go,... I'm looking for you..."
Yan Mo pulled the child's hand and quickly ran into the path that had just appeared, while tentatively asking: "Can you let me get close to them?"
"… Danger… "
"I will protect myself, please believe me." Can be said to be dangerous by the "gods", how powerful are those who plan to ambush them
It is impossible for Yan Mo to avoid them all the time, he needs to understand the enemy's situation.
"This way..." The vines that fell in front of the mountain wall crawled, revealing a narrow gap.
Yan Mo led Sumen to squeeze into the gap, the gap was full of snakes and insects, they all ran away when they saw someone coming in.
The gap is narrow at first and widens later.
Halfway through, a cave appeared on the side of the mountain wall, a python swam out, uttered a snake letter to Yan Mo, and then went into the cave.
Yan Mo followed, Su Men was extremely nervous.
The cave is very long, and after walking about half an angle, I finally saw a gap through which light penetrated.
The boa constrictor coiled around the gap, its head swaying towards the gap.
Yan Mo boldly approached the python, leaning in front of the gap.
The gap is a bit high, and Xiao Sumen can't see it even if he tiptoes.
Suddenly his body was rolled up by the boa constrictor, and the child was so frightened that his first step was to cover his mouth.
Yan Mo glanced at him appreciatively, seeing that the python just lifted the child up and ignored it.
The boa constrictor seemed to like children very much, it curled up little Sumen with its tail, and just held him like this.
Su Men put down his little hand covering his mouth and touched the boa constrictor's body.
The python made a "hissing" sound.
Outside, a team of six rested, all hornless without exception.
The six hornless men were all different in clothing, appearance, gender and age, the only thing in common was that they all wore a bone collar around their necks.
"Strange, why can't we find those three people?" said a thin middle-aged man among the six hornless men.
"That's right. According to the news, there were people who saw the three of them when they entered the mountain. Afterwards, there were only two left. But after the big and the small entered the mountain, no one saw them again." Another ordinary-looking woman said.
"Those two are also demon warriors, so it's not surprising that they disappeared in the mountains. God-eyed witch, have you seen those three people?" A person who seemed to be the leader asked another person who was sitting on a boulder with his eyes closed. Half old.
The half-old man opened his eyes, a trace of incomprehensible meaning flashed in his eyes, and he shook his head.
"Even you can't see them? How is it possible!" The leader was surprised.
The half-old man's voice was low and hoarse: "There is something covering my eyes, and I don't want me to see them."
The woman gasped, "Why did High Priest Hu Lian insist on arresting them in the Elan Valley? This damn place..."
"Shh! Silence! You dare to criticize High Priest Hu Lian's decision, don't drag us down if you want to die!" the youngest man yelled.
The leader also frowned, "Elan Valley is disgusting, this place... no one wants to come, and I don't know why High Priest Hu Lian chose this place."
"High Priest Hu Lian probably did it for that person..." the thin man who spoke first said hesitantly.
The others seemed to understand who he was talking about, and they were all silent.
Yan Mo who was hiding in the mountain wall was dying of curiosity, who is that person? What's the matter? Why did Hu Lian specially arrange the meeting in the Elan Valley
Should he take Sumen to the agreed place
