Chapter 2: A coffin and a pit

Views:

Kanasher, also known as Lulan Mountain, means the Bi of Mobei in the ancient language.

Outside the Kulan Mountain, there is a vast desert, which is ravaged by wind and sand all year round. In the mountains, however, it was another scene. At that time, the snow in Kulan Mountain had not yet melted, and the young eagle that had just grown was pushed down the cliff by the eagle, desperately flapping its wings and flew up; the fluffy squirrel poked its head out of the pine tree, its dark eyes flashing. He looked around without blinking; the fat little tiger rolled in the snow, and was dragged back to the nest by the mother tiger in a short time.

The real Bi of Mobei is a valley in the mountains.

Yu Mo raised his hand to print on the huge ancient tree in front of him, and a clear handprint appeared on the thick trunk. With only a few rumblings, the snow on the trees fell one after another, and a corridor appeared in the center of the trunk. He flicked his sleeves and walked in. Yan Dan followed behind him and walked in.

The two of them turned a few times in the dark and dull tree hole, and suddenly their eyes lit up, and the bright sunlight stabbed them so hard that they couldn't open their eyes: as far as they could see, there were blooming flowers, green grass, and sparkling lakes. Ling, the smoky wind blowing from the face, the cold spring outside the valley seems to have no effect on this place.

Yu Mo narrowed his eyes slightly: "It's better to be at home."

Yan Dan looked around and wondered: "Usually at this time, Dan Shu will definitely be here waiting for me to come back and tell him a story, why is he not here today?"

The corners of Yu Mo's mouth moved slightly, but he didn't speak, only to hear a shrill cry in the distance, a mass of things rolled down from the top of the mountain, and crawled in front of the two with hands and feet, tears streaming down: "Coffin, coffin! There's a coffin by the side! The mountain master, woo woo woo, it's so scary..." It was a child with ears on his head and a tail on his butt, with a red face like an apple, but his clothes were messed up. Hanging in a ball.

Yu Mo frowned: "Where is the Zilin Mountain Master?"

"The Zilin Mountain Master is gone, there is a coffin in the Mountain Master's room, woohoo..."

Yu Mo picked up his collar and shoved it into Yan Dan's hand: "Tell this kid to shut up immediately!"

Yan Dan scratched the soft ears on the top of his head and coaxed softly: "Dan Shu is good, Dan Shu doesn't cry. Let me tell you a big secret about Zilin Mountain Master, okay?"

Dan Shu's ears moved, but still tearful: "What secret?"

Yan Dan shook her finger lightly: "Do you know what the real body of the majestic Zilin Mountain Master is?"

Dan Shu was really curious, and wagged his big tail behind him: "What is it?"

Yan Dan smiled slightly, but still said softly, "I tell you, you can't cry anymore. Wait a minute, the mountain master Yu Mo will take us to see the coffin, if you cry again, he will be angry, and when he is angry, he will I will punish you to watch over that coffin for the rest of your life."

Dan Shu shuddered for two, and waved his hands hurriedly: "I won't cry, I promise not to cry. Mountain Lord, please don't let me manage the coffin!"

Yu Mo closed his eyes unbearably.

Yan Dan patted Dan Shu's head and whispered, "Tell you quietly, the real body of Zilin Mountain Master is a mountain tortoise, the kind that can't be seen even when buried in the soil."

"Pfft—" Dan Shu burst into laughter, hurriedly stretched out his hand to cover his mouth, and turned his big eyes around a few times.

Yu Mo let out a soft snort and recited three times in his heart, "I'm sorry, Zilin, you actually let others know your shocking secret." Then he said, "Let's go to Zilin's side to see."

There was a coffin in the middle of the bedroom. The texture is excellent poplar, the coffin is very thick, there is no sound when knocked down, and there is an exquisitely carved griffin-headed lion body coffin beast standing on the coffin, facing them.

Several of the bricks laid on the ground have been pried up, revealing the black soil underneath.

Half of the coffin was buried in black soil.

Dan Shu kept rubbing behind Yan Dan, trying to shrink himself to a minimum, but suddenly his collar tightened and he was carried to the front. Yan Dan brushed off his big tail and encouraged, "Don't be afraid, it's just a coffin."

Without saying a word, Yu Mo stepped forward and took a closer look. He took out a short knife from the weapon rack next to it and pressed it against the joint of the coffin. With a little force, poplar shavings fell off.

Yan Dan said next to him, "It seems that the coffin has not been closed yet, and the lid and body are not connected. Could it be that a mummy has been living here recently?" Dan Shu shook into a ball. Yan Dan again pointed at the coffin-suppressing beast with glaring teeth on the coffin, and said slowly: "The coffin-suppressing beast is specialized in suppressing evil spirits. I don't know what's in the coffin?" Dan Shu trembled even more. Yan Dan suddenly patted him on the shoulder: "That's right." He choked in his throat and couldn't help but hiccup: "What?"

"I'll tell you a story. This story happened in Qingshi Town. A child from a poor family, about the same age as you, died. He had no money to bury his father, so he had to be taken to a burial mound..." Yan Dan said with interest, only Seeing Dan Shu crawling down at Yu Mo's feet: "I don't want to listen to stories anymore! Mountain master, don't open the coffin, it's so scary, so scary!"

Yu Mo picked him up and scolded: "You are a wolf demon, but you are still afraid of ghosts? You have lost all the face of the wolf clan!"

Yan Dan continued to tell the story: "The poor child as old as you died in his own home, his eyes were prominent, his face was purple, and his body stinks. It's all eaten up…”

Yu Mo looked at her: "Yan Dan!"

Yan Dan pouted and said angrily, "Okay, I'll talk about it next time."

When Dan Shu heard the words, he shook into a ball again, wishing to wrap himself up with his tail and stick to his own mountain master.

Yu Mo pressed hard on his hands, and with a bang, the coffin lid was pushed open. He glanced into the coffin, his expression uncertain, and after a while, he suddenly pulled the hem of his clothes out of Dan Shu's hands and walked away.

Yan Dan was curious and took two steps forward, wanting to take a closer look.

A hand suddenly stretched out from the coffin, holding it up straight.

Yan Dan was taken aback and took a step back. Dan Shu covered his mouth, but remembered what Yan Dan said before, "If you cry again, the mountain master will let you look after the coffin for the rest of your life."

Suddenly there was a knock in the coffin, and a mummified corpse jumped up from it. The flesh on its face was tattered, its eyes were protruding, and its face was purple, just like what Yan Dan had just said. The mummified corpse hopped and hopped, making a grunting noise in its mouth, and approached them.

Yan Dan glanced at him and grabbed Dan Shu's collar: "Can I tell you a big secret of the Zilin Mountain Master? The secret about what his true body is."

I saw the mummified corpse rushed over and shouted: "Don't say it! If you dare to say it, this seat will—"

"Master Zilin Mountain?!" Dan Shu opened his mouth so wide that he could almost stuff an egg into it.

A flash of light flashed, and the mummified corpse suddenly turned into the appearance of Zilin Mountain Master. Wearing a dark green long gown, black hair hanging down at the waist, and handsome eyebrows. Yan Dan leaned over to salute and said with a slight smile, "Master, you are deliberately scaring us."

Zi Lin put his hands on his back and snorted coldly, "This seat is sleeping well, but you guys came to disturb him for no reason. It's good that there is no heavy punishment."

Dan Shu leaned closer to Yan Dan's ear: "Why does the mountain owner like to sleep in a coffin and then bury himself in the soil?"

Yan Dan held back his smile: "What do you think his real body is?"

Dan Shu let out a long "Oh". Looking at this mountain master in the past, I always felt majestic and imposing, and I didn't dare to say a word. Now that I know what his true body is, the deterrent power in the past has been greatly reduced, and I can't help but want to laugh. "Don't the dark green clothes the mountain master wears look like the moss on the tortoise shell?" His big eyes turned and he suddenly said a word.

Yan Dan was startled, but didn't want to laugh at all.

Zilin's eyes and ears are sensitive, and he can hear the turtle shell and moss clearly, and his face is gradually gloomy. Without waiting for him to speak, Yan Dan picked up Dan Shu and immediately retreated.

Yu Mo was standing outside, and suddenly saw Yan Dan throw Dan Shu away and hide behind him. Immediately afterwards, I saw Zilin's furious face: "Yu Mo, get out of the way, I'm going to slaughter this wolf cub today, and that bastard lotus spirit!"

Yu Mo smiled bitterly: "Let's calm down first. Tell me slowly, what did they do?"

Dan Shu rolled and crawled on the ground, tears streaming down his face.

Yan Dan hid behind Yu Mo, stood on tiptoe and whispered in his ear: "Because Dan Shu said just now that Zi Lin is wearing this dark green robe, which looks like a turtle shell covered with moss."

Yu Mo coughed lightly and hurriedly grabbed the furious Zilin: "We'll talk about this later. The people of the fox clan are already waiting outside the valley, let's go and see first, don't make them wait for a long time."

Zi Lin straightened his clothes and slowly calmed down his anger: "The business is important, come back and clean up the two of you." He glanced at the two of them, his eyes like knives: "If I hear the slightest rumor, the two of you will just wait for your souls to dissipate. "After saying that, he turned and walked away.

Yu Mo squinted at Yan Dan, raised his hand and pinched the tip of her nose: "I owe me one more time. What will you pay for this debt? First, I won't accept anything worthless."

Silk and bamboo are wrapped around the ears, the rings are ding-dong, and the dancers are dressed in dance clothes.

Zilin sat slantingly at the low table, calmly looking at the fox woman sitting next. Foxes are arrogant and elegant races. At that time, the other races in the entire Kulan Mountain belonged to them, but the fox clan said that even if the clan was exterminated, they would never surrender to others. He has no ambitions, and he is only half-truthful about it.

The fox woman sitting below was dressed in plain white, wrapped in a cloak, and covered her face with a veil. She lowered her head and stared at the tableware and dishes in front of her, motionless, and seemed to be completely invisible to her surroundings.

Zi Lin originally wanted to wait for her to explain her intentions, but an hour passed, and she didn't even change her sitting position. Impatient in his heart, he turned to look at Yu Mo, only to see a furry tiger cub lying on the other side's lap. The little tiger was holding his head up, his mouth wide open, revealing his newly grown fangs, and his claws were clawing at Yu Mo's sleeves. Yu Mo raised his hand and touched it lightly on its head, then picked up a chopstick, dipped it in the wine glass, and sent it to it. The little tiger stretched out his tongue and licked it, smacking his lips and shaking the fur on his back, and lay back on Yu Mo's lap contentedly.

Yu Mo looked up to see the impatience on Zilin's face, smiled lightly, and said slowly, "The distinguished guest is here, I wonder what I can do for you?"

The sound of silk and bamboo stopped abruptly, and the dancing dancer immediately stepped aside.

The woman from the fox clan stood up and saluted gracefully: "My name is Linlang, and I'm the daughter of the patriarch." She paused, and her tone was firm: "Linlang is here this time because she really wants to ask the two of you for help. And my fox clan is not a person who does not repay kindness, and Linlang is willing to devote himself to the mountain master." She raised her head slightly, and the eyes exposed from the veil were very beautiful.

Zi Lin raised his finger and tapped the table, "I don't know what happened?"

Linlang lowered her head and took out a ball of snow-white fur from her cloak. The ball of hair suddenly trembled, and slowly raised its head. The eyes were like obsidian, and the hair on the forehead hung down, covering the eyes a little. It looked around curiously, then shrank back into a ball. Zi Lin's eyes were sharp, and he could already see that the ball of fur was actually a three-tailed snow fox.

"This is my younger brother, the most noble three tails of our fox clan. It was still young, and once sneaked out, when it came back, it was poisoned on its legs. We can't do anything about it. If the two The mountain master can be untied, and Linlang is willing to serve the mountain master for a lifetime."

The three-tailed snow fox is a very noble bloodline, and will inherit the position of the fox clan chief in the future. This is good for both parties.

Yu Mo took the little tiger on his lap to one side and asked lightly, "Miss Linlang should have other requests? Bring it up now, so as to avoid a deadlock in the future."

Linlang raised her head and looked at Yu Mo with a pair of beautiful and charming eyes: "Linlang has only one request, our fox tribe is loyal to our partner, and we hope that the mountain master can follow our customs."

Yu Mo's mouth curled into a smile: "Aren't you afraid that we are already a group of concubines?"

She seemed to smile, her voice cold as ice: "That's okay. As long as the mountain master kills them all, isn't it just me?"
