Chapter 35 Shadows under the Moon
At night, everything is quiet.?
The heat in the daytime dissipates a lot with the mountain wind blowing at night. The Tianniao Peak in the distance pours out a lonely shadow under the moonlight.
A Taoist temple on the hillside, a woman sitting in a wheelchair was wearing a Taoist robe and talking to her daughter who was pushing her around at night. The girl in red dress was thin and her skirt fluttered with the night wind.
In an attic outside the Taoist temple, three girls who fell asleep together while laughing and playing, had a strange sleeping position and a woman wearing white gauze walked in and covered them with blankets.
There is a mountain crack on the south side of Tianniao Peak, like a boat. According to legend, this was transformed by the ship that the goddess in the sky who came with the waves during the Dayu period. At this moment, the little girl with cat ears and cat tail was kneeling on a smooth rock, supporting her hands between her legs, looking up at the bright moon in the sky.
In the moonlight, there seemed to be a little inspiration, attracted by the little girl and whirled lightly around her.
Although he has practiced into a human form, the absorption of the essence of the sun and the moon every night is still an indispensable homework for the kitten girl, so naturally, he did not fall behind that night.
On the surface, she looks a little bit over ten years old, but because she uses Sister Xiaomeng’s appearance, she looks like a natural beauty. She wears cute clothes in Liuqing and her breasts are like Sister Xiaomeng, outlining a well-shaped shape, exquisite and cute.
The fluorescent light surrounds her in a spiral shape, slowly spiraling, and the kitten girl's small body also becomes hazy. Her furry and pointed ears tremble gently in the night wind, and the cat's tail stretches out behind her skirt, shaking.
In the translucent body, there seemed to be pearl light looming, driving the rotation of the surrounding light. The bright moon in the sky and the little girl with cat ears built a mysterious bridge, like an invisible magpie bridge, slowly twisting in the void.
The huge Tiannv Peak is like a woman looking at the sea. The mountains in the distance are like undulating waves under the night. The kitten girl knelt alone for a long time, and the aura around her became more and more pure, and then slowly flowed into her body. After a long time like this, she meowed gently and got up and jumped under the stone.
It seemed that she could sense something. Suddenly, she turned her head and looked back. She became a little confused at this moment in her star-like eyes. Then, her eyes slowly turned blue, and the cat shadow drew a perfect curve in the air.
It was just a short moment. The girl on the stone disappeared, but there was a cat's shadow moving in the forest.
Some kind of black cat with a flash of inspiration and sapphire-like pupils was flexible in movement, flashing from time to time, disappearing out of thin air, and the next moment, it appeared one or two feet away.
After passing through the forest, the little black cat hid in the grass and looked at the fields below the mountain. The mountain wind blew the grass all over the ground, and the grass was wavy and blew away to the distance. The reflected moonlight also swept across the wind.
A woman walked alone in the moonlight, suddenly fell down, and then disappeared.
The little black cat ran down the mountain and approached carefully. A rabbit came out of the pit, and his red eyes looked at it. The little black cat waved its claws at it, and the rabbit jumped into the pit in panic.
The weeds separated, and the little black cat looked at the woman lying in the grass. The air still smelled of blood.
The woman has a long head and looks tall, not like a woman from Jiangnan. However, this is not what the little black cat cares about. At this moment, there is a hint of confusion in its eyes. This woman... has a kind of scent that makes her feel friendly.
Of course, this does not mean that it recognizes this woman, but is derived from some kind of "companion" feeling. Why does such a strange feeling are unclear.
Under the quiet moonlight, a gentle "meow" sound came, and the little black cat disappeared from the spot, and then a girl with cat ears appeared. The girl quietly stretched out her hand and gently pushed the woman. However, at this time, the woman suddenly turned over and sat up, scaring the girl so much that she jumped to the side.
The long woman turned her head and stared at the little girl with cat ears who appeared beside her. At this moment, her eyes were also confused.
An hour later, dawn slowly appeared in the sky in the east. First, a rosy light gushed out from the dim sky, and then quickly pulled away to both sides. The sky was bright very quickly, and the coolness of the night was constantly fading away, so people could tell at a glance that it was another hot day.
At the foot of Kuaiji Mountain, a maid was talking to two men with swords.
"'Queen Falcon' Yuelido?" The woman frowned, "Are you sure she is coming in this direction?"
"I'm not sure whether her target is Kuaiji Mountain, but it is indeed coming in this direction. Her intention to come to the south has not been able to figure out. What is certain is that she must have been seriously injured. We have surrounded her twice. Unfortunately, she finally escaped, but she was injured. This is indeed certain." One of the men said.
"Aren't the assassination defeated and died? I heard that the Shen Ce Zongbei had surrendered, and the Falcon did not escape to Yinchuan in the north, but ran to the south. What's the reason?" The maid named Qin Wuyan had doubts and confusion in her voice.
"Anyway, please be careful. Although the formations were set up on the way up the mountain, the war in the north ended. During these days, the brothers guarding around Kuaiji Mountain were basically retreated. No matter what the purpose of the falcons' journey to the south was, it would be better to take more precautions. We will step up our search to see if we can find her again, and we will also send additional staff here..."
"Sister Four, Sister Four..." A call came from the stone forest behind the maid.
Qin Wuyan turned around and looked at Xiao Ya'er: "What's wrong?"
"Sister Four, have you seen Xiaodao?" asked the dwarf girl, "The girl said, I don't know why, Xiaodao, who would have returned to her before dawn, has not yet come back. The girl is worried that something will happen to Xiaodao."
Qin Wuyan pondered for a moment. Under normal circumstances, Xiaodao's Nine Yin White Bone Claws and her supernatural powers as Flying Tmalls basically did not need to worry about her. However, now, when she suddenly learned that "Queen Falcon" appeared nearby, Xiaodao did not return overnight, and she couldn't help but feel a little uneasy.
So, after saying a few more words to the two men from the Tiandihui, she hurried back to the mountains. After a while, Chun Jianli, Baotong, Hongdie, etc. were also awakened. Everyone shouted at the knife everywhere, but the kitten girl seemed to have disappeared.
Xiaodao didn't come back for a night, Xiaomeng was anxious and looked everywhere like an ant on a hot pan. Especially the boat peak where Xiaodao practiced every night, she searched all over, but she still couldn't find Xiaodao's figure. At this time, Luanmei, Chun Jianli and others had also learned that the "Falcon Queen" of the Barbarian Army appeared nearby. Because she could not confirm her purpose, everyone was naturally nervous. For example, Baotong, Xiaolu and others who had weak martial arts skills were directly protected.
There are already many people from the Tiandihui near Kuaiji Mountain. Although many have been removed over the past few days, there are still many masters. At this moment, everyone who can be mobilized has also moved.
At noon, Qin Wuyan and his men arrived here in a stone forest to the west, and saw that the Shili Peak collapsed.
"Someone broke through here." One of the people inside said in a deep voice.
"The formation has been set up here, and the person who comes is forcibly entering. It is not easy for the person who comes, and it is likely that he is the queen of the falcon." Qin Wuyan said.
"Can her purpose be Miss Xiaochun, Miss Xiaomeng, or a few princesses?"
"I don't remember the two girls had direct hatred with the Queen of the Falcon, but I heard that her son Li Hu was already dead on the battlefield. It might be that he took his anger on the young master to avenge her son and came to cause trouble." Qin Wuyan guessed like this, "No matter what, she has entered Kuaiji Mountain in this way, so she must be careful."
Qin Wuyan returned to the mountainside with the news. After knowing that the falcon had already sneaked into the mountain, the purpose of which was probably to avenge her killed son. Ning Xiaomeng held the sword inserted between her waist tightly and said angrily: "She's coming, come."
Chun Jianli was beside her, wearing a red dress, her hair was combed with a bun, and her mind moved slightly: "No matter what she thought, it was really strange to run to the south to hold the revenge of killing her son. Not to mention that this is a war, killing and being killed are normal. Are there fewer people she and her son killed? Even if she really wanted to take revenge, the Red Turban Army and the Zong Family Army in the north who killed her son directly in front of the formation? Didn't the Zong Family Army be wiped out?
"Well," Ning Xiaomeng raised her head, "But, what other reasons are there besides this?"
Chun Jianli said: "Anyway, we sent someone to monitor the high place with a lookout glass. Baotong, Hongdie, Xiaolu and the others are also protected. This is Kuaiji Mountain. If she is really injured, since she is here, she doesn't have to escape. The only thing she is worried about is that the knife may fall into her hands and become her hostage, but no matter what, she can only take one step first now."
Everyone was unable to do so, so they could only continue to send additional personnel to monitor the important roads in the mountains. Soon, new news came.
Just a quarter of an hour later, Chun Jianli, Ning Xiaomeng, and Qin Wuyan had already brought a group of people to the entrance of Yu's cave.
"They definitely entered from here." said one of the members of the Tiandihui Association holding a telescope. "It was indeed the queen, and the lady was also following her, and she could not tell whether she was being held hostage or something else."
Qin Wuyan pondered and said, "Can you say that there is something she is looking for in Yu's cave?"
Chun Jianli also said in confusion: "'Queen' Yueliduo is a barbarian who lives thousands of miles north of Yinchuan for many years. Her hometown is far away from here. What will be what she wants here?"
While talking, on the other side, Acai, Luanmei and Hongbutter walked together.
A Cai is tall and has a big knife on his back, while Luanmei and Hongbutter are petite and exquisite. It is naturally extremely inconsistent to walk together by the three of them.
Luanmei is petite and looks almost the same size as Xiaodao. Although she is Hongdie's aunt, she actually looks more like Hongdie's sister at this moment. She is wearing a colorful golden Baidie's clothes, a bun with her hair on her head, and a goose yellow flying silk hanging on her arms.
She asked, "How is the situation?"
Chun Jianli said, "Fuhou and Xiaodao have entered."
Luanmei looked around and pondered for a while: "The depth of Yu's acupoint is complicated. If you want to go in and search, you need to be careful."
A Cai said: "I'll go in with you."
The others nodded. With A Cai’s magical powers to help, there was a powerful help.
Hongdie said, "I'll go too."
Luanmei hesitated for a moment.
Chun Jianli looked at the eldest princess and said, "Hongdie's ability is no longer low. If you want to achieve higher achievements, you always need to train and temper. You will inevitably have to walk in the world in the future. It's better to let her follow you. Anyway, everyone will take care of you. Just a wounded falcon, we should be able to deal with it."
Luanmei thought about it, nodded, and said nothing more.
So, Qin Wuyan brought a group of people outside to guard him. A Cai took the lead and everyone entered Yu's cave together and searched deeper...
***
Deep in Yu's cave, light and shadow suddenly flashed, and the space was like a black gap splitting. Then, a black cat jumped out.
The moment the black cat landed, it turned into a cat-eared girl. Behind her was the long woman. The woman covered her chest tightly, took a few breaths, raised her head, and looked around.
The magical cave below, connecting the upper and lower ends, are stone pillars, with slender middles and perfect arc shapes toward both ends.
At the same time, on the top are stalactites hanging upside down like scattered stalactites. The arrangement of these stalactites is like mysterious patterns. A long time ago, they and the stone pillars arranged like seven stars had originally formed clever formations, but now they have long lost their function.
The long woman trembled her lips gently, perhaps trying to say something, but in the end she was just silent, dragging heavy steps, walking forward step by step. Behind her, the girl with cat ears lowered her head and looked at the blood flowing down her way. The blood on the beach quickly turned into starlight and dissipated, and the air was filled with a fragrance that seemed to be there or there was.
The older woman walks very slowly, occasionally bows her head and thinks about something, as if she remembers something. The distant and ignorant past, for no reason, has never been forgotten in her heart. What she once pursues, and what she is now pursues, is twists and turns, but seems to be getting further and further away from her goal.
The unseen past, the invisible future, what you gain, what you lose, unknowingly, is intertwined into such a life. Now, when you think about it, the so-called "life" given by that person was destined from the beginning, and exists in order to pursue that person's footsteps without regrets.
