Chapter 193: You Know, I Love You
"Hell!" I had just shaken off the powerful sound of the water from the deafening waterfall when I heard the frightened screams of some children not far in front of me.
I wiped the water from my face, and realized that everything in front of me was a paradise.
The water of the lake is clear and cold. In the distance, there are green trees and exotic flowers and plants. Although we are in the middle of the mountains, such scenes should be seen everywhere, but here, it is a peaceful and comfortable scene.
A dozen children were standing on the shore looking at me, an uninvited guest who had suddenly left behind the waterfall. There were a few small ones, just wearing a small red belly pocket, and the white and tender limbs looked like lotus roots, just standing there.
When they saw them get up from the water, they stood on the shore and looked at me in a daze. It seems that I may not be in any danger.
I tried not to startle them and slowly leaned towards the shore. But every time I approached them, they took a step back collectively defensively.
When I saw this, I hurriedly stood still. The water was just up to the base of my thighs, and I tried to keep my voice as soft as I could, and then asked, "Excuse me, what is this place?"
One of the older of those children, about eight or nine years old, took a step forward, and it was clear that he was the head of the children here.
"Who are you?"
I secretly laughed in my heart that this kid's defensive heart was quite heavy, and I thought it was cute, so I also changed my cute tone and said, "I fell from the cliff above, may I ask, where is this?"
The children all looked up at the sky, and another older child whispered to the child.
"Don't lie to me, there's nothing on this!"
I also looked up, and sure enough, there was only bright sunlight above us, and there were no cliffs, any barriers, and nothing. I was speechless for a moment.
The children just leaned close together and looked at my face with serious expressions.
"We don't care what your purpose is, but we don't welcome you in Pinye Valley! you go quickly! or we will be unkind to you!" After saying that, the children actually bowed their heads and found small pebbles, and were about to prepare to greet me.
I was a little alarmed, I didn't expect these little kids to be so grumpy. "You guys, don't do this, I really strayed here!" Before I could finish speaking, suddenly a child in front of me pointed behind me in horror and shouted, "Hell!
The children suddenly threw away the stones in their hands and scattered and fled. I wondered if they were screaming when they saw me just now, but they weren't scared away, so I turned around curiously, and at this time, I happened to hit a man in the chest.
I looked down his bare chest, and it scared the hell out of me. The man behind me was much taller than me, and his face was covered with dark green seaweed. It's full of water, and it's extremely terrifying!
I was stunned for a moment, and subconsciously slapped me over. With my current status, no matter what the other person is, I will not be easily afraid. Although I was startled by the sudden appearance of such a monster just now, after I calmed down, I would not lose my mind because of such a thing.
I slapped my hand very hard, and it was completely subconscious. So as soon as my hand made contact with the man's face, I saw a large cloud of seaweed suddenly fly out of his head. I was shocked, could it be that I slapped this monster's head off!
But it seems that something is wrong! There is another human face under the head of the seaweed that flies out. It seemed that the face was twisting in pain, and the corners of the mouth were gently rubbed with his hands.
"Who said that you are weak, this slap almost ruined my appearance!" Sheng Ku moved his jaw very aggrievedly, and it seemed to hurt really much.
I froze, I wanted to laugh, but I tried my best to hold back.
"Isn't it good to play well, why is it scary?" I said with a cold expression, but I just didn't want him to have a chance to gain the upper hand.
He tried his best to endure laughter, but he was not as strong as I could laugh, so he endured a little hard. Probably because he felt that his behavior was very childish, he stopped rubbing his face and finally couldn't help laughing. But he didn't dare to laugh because every pull of his face would make his jaw ache.
"Don't you remember?" I got a little carried away, "I'm weak, that's what you said." ”
He was stunned for a moment, "I take back my words." ”
The two men went ashore one after the other, and sat down on the stones on the shore to rest. The sun was shining, and our clothes were drying out. It's just that he suffers, his shirt was destroyed by phantom sand, oh no, it was destroyed by Xuantu, so he can only fight shirtless.
Although his muscles are very good, I am embarrassed to look directly at him. He didn't care, "You are a modern person, why are you so conservative?" Seeing that my mind was discovered by him, his heartbeat began to accelerate, "But this is in ancient times." Could you please respect the historical background?"
The expression of bitterness was strange, and I couldn't tell for a moment what kind of emotion it was.
We stood up and looked around, only to see that there was no obvious road. If it is such a deep mountain, it must be between the lofty mountains. I asked Xiang Shengku, "Which way are we going?"
After a moment's thought, he squatted down to carefully look at the small footprints left by the children on the shore. The water had long since dried up, but fortunately most of the children were barefoot, so some footprints were left on the soft soil that lacked stones.
"You see, these children are delicate-skinned and barefoot. They did not dare to go to such overgrown places for fear of injury, and secondly, they could not run deeper into the mountains simply to avoid danger. He stood up and looked in the direction of the footprints, "If you feel you are in danger, what is the first thing to do?"
I also looked in the direction I was looking at, and there were very few gravels on the road, and there seemed to be a looming rough path. "Will run home. ”
I smiled and looked at each other, and the other party already knew what he was thinking.
"Still, I'm a little worried. Wouldn't it be unwelcome for us to go in such a hurry! I almost received a baptism of stones. ”
"But we always need someone to show us the way out!"
"Actually, why bother. "I don't understand. "As long as I use Broad Touch, or do we teleport out?"
He suddenly said to me in a serious manner, "Do you know? In this era, your spiritual power cannot be used indiscriminately. Use too much and you'll die!"
This is something I didn't know before, and I didn't talk about it before. Suddenly he mentioned this, and I was only shocked. But more, still doubts.
"A demon who dies because of the use of spiritual power? I don't seem to have heard of it. Do you know something?"
I didn't seem to want to continue the topic, but I was already interested. Anyway, it's a matter of life and death, so I'm qualified to find out the truth and the end of this matter.
Sheng Ku sighed, "This is the world that the Time Realm brought us back, and it is different from the era you are in. Have you ever wondered why you've been so sleepy since you came here? You can even sleep for a few years in one sleep? That is, the weakness of the spirit caused by your excessive consumption of spiritual power.
This weakness is just the beginning. If you try not to use spiritual power, you will slowly recover due to your daily supplements. But if you keep consuming, sooner or later you will be overloaded and die. That's why I remind you so often that you are imprisoned. ”
He was reasonable, and I listened carefully, for it was appalling, but I could not see the slightest hint of lying in his tone and expression.
"So, as long as I try to use spiritual power as little as possible. And eat and sleep well, and I will always maintain this balance?" I asked a little unserious, but I already believed him.
Unexpectedly, he still looked serious and nodded.
I looked at his unsmiling expression at the moment, and I began to compromise. "Well, I'll listen to you in that case, I still have a lot of things to do, and I can't hang up so easily. ”
Suddenly his hands grabbed my shoulders, and before I could react, he pressed my body against his chest.
I was shocked in my heart, and I said, "Am I relying on it?" First let me not release my spiritual power at will, and then take advantage of me at this time? But listening to his rhythmic heartbeat, my body did not resist. I was amazed at my own unresponsive reaction, but his chest suddenly reassured me.
"Whatever I can, I'll do it for you. You can rest assured. You just have to participate and watch. ”
For some reason, I seemed to hear him all of a sudden. I didn't release my spiritual power, and even if I did, it would only enter someone else's brain when I used the Soul Technique. But now, with just my mortal body, I can hear the voice of suffering so clearly?
So at that moment, I was suspicious that it was just my imagination. But when I looked up and met my bitter eyes, I heard him again, "You know, I love you." ”
I was startled and pushed him away, my heart was still beating violently, I knew it was not right, it was all wrong!
"What's wrong with you?" was a little strange, but I couldn't look him in the eye anymore. I could only wave my hand to stop him and try to calm myself down.
"All you just heard was the voice in your own head. You're confusing him with Chongming!" I kept saying this over and over again in my head, and for a long time, I finally let out a long breath.
Eventually, I was quiet.
"Let's go, we should have a long way to go. In a look of bitter incomprehension, I walked up to him first. After a slight pause, he walked slowly behind me.
