Chapter 59: The Sweetness of the Unopened Heart
Dadongze is a swampy place in Dadong Mountain.
Despite the bitter cold winter and the vegetation covered in snow, the Great Higashizawa still retains its original muddy appearance, and even the slightest heat rises from it.
In the swamp, there are bubbles from time to time, and there are even a few bones of fierce beasts, which seem to inform the danger in this swamp.
"Okay, I've already brought you here, if you go any further, I'm afraid that there will be a fierce beast with the strength of the Yin Spirit Realm, so I'll go back first. Jiang You pointed to the big swamp in front of him and said.
Long Yin nodded, signaling that he could leave.
Looking at Da Dongze in front of him, I remember that the old village chief said that the thunder pond is in the northeast of Da Dongze, and it seems that if you want to go there, you have to go through this swamp.
Long Yin stepped directly on the swamp, although his body was light, he still felt a suction force that wanted to pull him down.
He didn't want to waste time, so he fled directly, and the next moment he directly crossed this vast swamp. He looked behind him, and a long mud mark appeared on the swamp, and it took a long time for the mud mark to slowly disappear.
The so-called blood escape is not really teleportation, but the speed reaches an incredible point in an instant, which is difficult to capture with the naked eye, so it will cause an illusion of teleportation.
That mud mark is the best proof of this, if it is really teleportation, how can it leave a trace in the swamp.
The swamp is three thousand meters wide, so it's no wonder that a big word is added in front of it. In just a moment, one-third of the blood qi in Long Yin's body disappeared.
He now replenished the lost flesh in his place, and then continued on his way. That thunder pool has to go hundreds of miles or so deeper, and with Long Yin's speed, if you go all out, you can reach it in half a day. However, after entering the mountain, Long Yin was not so anxious, he seemed to have returned to the barren mountain, picking the elixir when he saw it, and killing the beast to take its blood when he met it.
......
Jiang You returned to the village, and from a distance, he saw Li Shan waiting for him.
"Uncle Li Shan, is there something wrong?" Jiang You was a little dazed.
"Do you think Xiaoqing will agree to be the Xuanling of our village?" Li Shan found that Long Yin seemed to have an inexplicable feeling for his daughter, otherwise it would be impossible to say goodbye to his daughter. When he saw this scene, such an idea suddenly germinated in his heart.
Although this winter, there is the corpse of the silverback ape king placed there, and those fierce beasts will definitely not dare to approach. But what about next year? Moreover, they had planned to find a fierce beast as a mysterious spirit to protect the village at the beginning of spring, but it would be very difficult to find a qualified fierce beast. Not all beasts are qualified to become mystical spirits.
First of all, you need to have a strong strength, at least a Yin Spirit Realm. Secondly, you must also have good intentions towards humans, otherwise you will lure wolves into the house.
The former condition is easy to do, but there are really not many fierce beasts with good intentions towards humans. When he saw Long Yin sticking out his tongue and licking his daughter's cheek, Li Shan thought of this possibility.
Jiang You shook his head, he had already asked Long Yin to be the guardian of the village, but Long Yin refused without even thinking about it, there was no possibility at all.
"Then what if you let Tian Tian persuade her?" Li Shan said suddenly.
Jiang You was stunned for a moment, and his expression became extremely serious, "Uncle Li Shan, Xiaoqing's spiritual intelligence is not lower than that of ordinary people, if he knew that we used Tiantian to make him a guardian Xuanling, he couldn't say that the village would suffer a devastating blow!"
If Long Yin launched a surge, it would be much more terrifying than the silverback ape king.
"Well, I'm just talking. Li Shan sighed, he knew that with Long Yin's terrifying strength, he would never be the guardian of their village.
"Go and see Tiantian, after Xiaoqing left, her whole person seemed to have lost her soul, she didn't listen to anything, just watched her make snowdrifts for Xiaoqing. Your words are much more effective than mine. Li Shan patted Jiang You on the shoulder, which was the main reason why he had been waiting for Jiang You.
Originally, he thought that his daughter was just sad for a while, just like the animals that were lost before, but he didn't expect the girl to really have deep feelings for Long Yin.
The freckled girl kept looking at the courtyard as she piled up the snowdrifts, and she was stunned. There are fathers, mothers, Jiang You's brothers, their own, Xiaoqing, and rhubarb.
The girl was not aware of the arrival of the two at all. Looking at his daughter's depressed appearance, Li Shan looked at Jiang You helplessly.
"Sweet. Jiang You came to the girl, squatted down, and spoke softly.
"Brother Jiang You, do you think Xiaoqing will come back?" the girl muttered, her eyes still lingering on the snowdrifts in the distance.
"Xiaoqing has returned to her home in the mountains!" Jiang You pulled a small bench from the side and sat down next to the girl.
"Xiaoqing is gone, and it hasn't seen me build a snowman for it. The girl's eyes were red circles.
"No, Xiaoqing can see it. Jiang You looked at the snowdrifts, among which there was a snowdrift in the shape of a fox, which was very rough pinched, and the shape of a fox was faintly visible. Although the pile was rough, it could be seen that the girl was very careful because one of the snow fox's legs was also broken.
"You're lying, Xiaoqing won't come back!" the girl finally couldn't help crying, letting go of her throat, which she had suppressed before.
The woman heard the girl's cry and ran out of the house.
Li Shan spread his hands helplessly at the woman, as long as the girl cried, he, the father, had a headache, and he didn't know what he should do at all.
"Xiaoqing hasn't left!" Jiang You gently patted the girl's back.
"Where is Xiaoqing?" Sure enough, hearing this, the girl immediately stopped crying, and hurriedly looked around, but she didn't see Long Yin's figure at all.
"If you close your eyes, can you see Xiaoqing right in front of you?" Jiang You said softly.
The girl slowly closed her eyes, then nodded.
"You see, Xiaoqing has always been in your heart and has never walked through. It's as if you're in Xiaoqing's heart, and you've never left. Jiang You's words made the girl who was crying finally burst into tears and laughed. Yes, Xiaoqing has always been in her heart and has never left.
Li Shan saw that the smile on the girl's face was restored, and he couldn't help but stretch out a thumbs up at Jiang You, this kid still has a way to make his daughter happy. The woman looked at Jiang You and the girl, a complicated look flashed in her eyes, and she entered the room alone.
Jiang You accompanied the girl until it was dark, just as he was about to get up and leave. For the first time, the woman asked Jiang You to stay and eat together.
This directly made Jiang You a little flattered, you know, since he learned that he couldn't sense the essence of heaven and earth when he was fifteen years old, women have become more and more cold to him, and they usually don't look at him with their eyes, let alone take the initiative to let him stay and eat.
After eating, Jiang You accompanied the girl for a while, and it was not until the girl fell asleep that he left quietly.
"Xiaolan, it's time for our daughter to talk about marriage, I think Jiang You's child is good. Although he is an orphan, we have watched him grow up since childhood, and we know his character well. And it can be seen that he is really good to our daughter. I think I can entrust my daughter to him!" Looking at Jiang You's departing figure, Li Shan said to the women on the side.
Obviously, he was very satisfied with Jiang You.
The woman's expression flashed with a hint of imperceptible complexity, and she said lightly: "It's not that you don't know the situation of our daughter." ”
Hearing the woman's words, Li Shan fell silent. When the girl was eight years old, she had a serious illness, and she kept murmuring like an evil spirit. Eating countless herbs to no avail, and even Li Shan went to a small town hundreds of miles away to invite the most famous local doctor, but he couldn't do anything about it.
In the end, after a month of high fever, the girl miraculously recovered. It's just that it didn't take long to find out that the girl's mind seemed to stop forever at the age of eight.
In the blink of an eye, almost six years have passed, but the girl is still the same, and she is afraid that she will never return to normal in this life.
"There will always be a day when we will grow old, and it is impossible to shelter her for the rest of our lives. If we leave, what will you do if you leave Tiantian alone?" Li Shan's tone was very dull. He knew that talking about his daughter's illness was just a woman's excuse. In the final analysis, I still don't like Jiang You's child.
But he didn't understand why women suddenly hated Jiang You so much, you know, women treated Jiang You like a parent before.
Even he himself sometimes feels indignant for his daughter. However, since knowing that Jiang You's child couldn't become a qi practitioner a year ago, women's attitudes towards Jiang You have plummeted, and they are not even as good as strangers.
He knew his wife, he knew that women were not such powerful people, but he just couldn't figure it out, and women never told him why.
"Then let's wait until we are old, at least for now, our daughter is still sheltered!" said the woman, and went straight back to the house.
Li Shan couldn't help but rub his head and felt helpless. From his acquaintance with women to the present, he knows that women are gentle women. But in this matter, the women are particularly aggressive, and they do not allow themselves to be intervened at all. He had no choice but to let it go.
......
In the middle of the mountain, Long Yin lay comfortably in a cave, he looked at the stars in the sky outside the cave, and calculated how many miles he had walked.
During the day, he didn't go very fast, and kept an eye out for places where there might be elixirs.
But the result was not very satisfying, this place, in the end, can not be compared with the barren mountain, although he did find a few elixirs, but it was far from the mature year, and the quality did not meet the requirements in his mind, he didn't bother to take it off, just devoured the essence blood of the fierce beast guarding his side.
Forget it, tomorrow I won't waste any time, and go straight to that thunder pool.
