"In my village, there was an old gentleman who knew a lot of things, and we learned to read and write with him, and he taught us the truth. But what I like the most is that he tells us stories. ”

Along the way, the three of them stopped and stopped, and Xiao Wu talked about his past.

Whenever this happens, Qiushui up his ears and listens carefully, for fear of hearing a word.

"A long time ago, there were many animals in the world that were very powerful, they could call the wind and rain, they could change people's appearance, and they were called demons. Xiao Wu recalled the old gentleman's appearance at that time while sorting out his words.

"Hee-hee, there are now. Qiushui covered his mouth and laughed.

"Alas, there are now?" Xiao Wu was originally a storyteller, but at this moment, he became curious and asked Xiang Qiushui.

"Yes, it's a pity that I haven't seen it with my own eyes, and I also heard from my brother. After speaking, the two turned their eyes to Shangguan Zhengtian.

"Ahem..."Shangguan Zhengtian coughed twice and looked at Xiao Wu.

Xiao Wu was confused, and became more and more strange.

"It. Shangguan Zhengtian pointed to the white fox in Xiao Wu's arms.

"Xiaobai?" Xiao Wu held the white fox in front of him, and Qiushui also approached.

"Xiaobai, are you a monster?" Qiushui asked curiously.

The white fox shook his head violently.

"I don't think it's like it's like it's going to be lazy to do anything but be lazy. Xiao Wu nodded the white fox's head, and the white fox was so angry that he called.

"The demon clan is blessed with a unique physical body, and after turning into a human form, you can retain your ontological talent, and you can comprehend the avenue like a human race, and if you want to become a demon clan, it is naturally more difficult. This white fox should only have spirituality, unless there is any opportunity, it can only be regarded as a spirit beast. Shangguan Zhengtian explained.

"Oh. Xiao Wu pondered, and suddenly raised his head again and asked, "Can only the human race comprehend the Great Dao?"

"No, it's just that in this regard, the Terrans are more dominant. Shangguan Zhengtian looked up at the sky and said, "Let's spend the night here today." ”

Xiao Wu originally wanted to continue asking, but Wen Yan had no choice but to suppress his curiosity and prop up the three tents.

Qiushui followed to help, but he didn't help much, but he was so happy.

When night fell, Shangguan Zhengtian lit a fire, and the three of them sat together.

"Xiaoqiu, where are you from?" Xiao Wu asked.

"My brother and I came out of Shangguan's house. Qiushui replied seriously.

"Where is Shangguan's house?"

"Eight hundred miles to the north, there is a great river that has never dried up, called Qiongshui, the river is mighty, and after flowing three hundred miles to the east, it comes to an abrupt end under a high mountain. There, it's Shangguan's house. Shangguan Zhengtian said.

"Eight hundred miles ......" Xiao Wu muttered while measuring, and finally gave up, "It sounds so far, you have walked so far, don't you go home?"

Shangguan Zhengtian was silent for a moment.

"yes, I haven't been back for a few years. But with my brother here, it's the same whether I go back or not. Shangguan Qiushui responded.

I haven't been back for a few years, so I guess I've been looking for medicinal herbs outside. Xiao Wu thought like this in his heart, so he said, "What medicine are you looking for? If there is anything I know, I don't have to look for it." ”

Shangguan Zhengtian looked at the crackling flames, like a statue.

Shangguan Qiushui shook his head: "Xiao Wu, you can help us bring it to Nanshan." I'm sleepy, so I'm going to sleep first. With that, he turned and went into the tent.

"Brother Shangguan, what's wrong with Xiaoqiu?" Xiao Wu noticed that Qiushui was depressed, but he didn't know why, and he was confused at the moment.

"It's nothing, I'm sleepy too, and I went to sleep. Shangguan Zhengtian, who had been silent, also entered the tent after speaking.

"Xiaobai, did I say the wrong thing?" Xiao Wu rubbed the white fox's head.

The drowsy white fox moved, whined twice, and fell asleep again.

"If you don't understand, you don't want to, I haven't practiced for the past two days, and I have to make up for it tonight. Xiao Wu muttered and closed his eyes on the spot, forgetting about things.

The next day, the three of them set out on the road in the morning light.

"Xiaoqiu, there's a waterhole here, do you want to clean it?" Shangguan Zhengtian asked.

"Okay, I haven't washed my hair in a few days!" Qiushui laughed.

The deep pool is deep and bottomless, even though it is snow-capped all around, the water in the pool is still so quiet, occasionally the cold wind blows, rippling layers of ripples.

Qiushui walked to the edge of the pool, adjusted his clothes by the reflection of the pool, and then slowly sat on the edge of the pool, not knowing what to think.

"Xiao Wu, can you help pick up some dry firewood?" Shangguan Zhengtian held the stove, looking like he wanted to boil some hot water.

"Okay, leave it to me. Xiao Wu turned to leave, but the white fox on his shoulder turned around and kept looking at the waterhole.

"Xiaobai, what's wrong with you?" Xiao Wu noticed the white fox's abnormality.

"Woooooooo ”

Although Xiao Wu couldn't understand what the white fox said, he could understand what the white fox meant.

At this moment, a vision was born.

The calm pool water suddenly rose waves, the snow on the edge of the pool spread out to the sky, and the invisible cold suddenly appeared, cold from the body to the soul, as if to completely freeze people in place.

A huge black shadow swept through the water waves, accompanied by endless cold air and pounced on Shangguan Qiushui.

"Look for death!" Shangguan Zhengtian roared angrily, like a light rushing towards Qiushui. However, the closer he got to the edge of the pool, the slower his speed became, and the cold air seemed to freeze the space.

"Ahh

Shangguan Qiushui on the edge of the pond suddenly encountered an incident and wanted to dodge, but found that his movements were much slower, and he knew that he couldn't dodge.

"Why don't you hide?" a figure appeared between the autumn water and the black shadow, in an instant, but like eternity.

"Xiao Wu!" Shangguan Qiushui panicked.

When the black shadow was about to bite the autumn water, Xiao Wu had already appeared in front of Qiu Shui, he protected Qiu Shui on his chest, his back was facing the black shadow that rushed in, and the faint light on his body suddenly shattered.

The warm blood that Qiu Shui noticed spilled all over her body, and at this moment, the two heads were leaning together, she couldn't see where Xiao Wu was injured, so she only had time to shout: "Xiao Wu!"

Xiao Wu smiled and said, "Xiao Qiu, close your eyes!" But before the words were finished, the whole person had been taken away by the bloody mouth.

"Don't, Xiao Wu! Xiao Wu!" Qiu Shui stretched out his hand in vain, tears in his eyes, and vaguely saw Xiao Wu's body being thrown in the air, blood spilling all over the sky.

The power of the ice fades.

A white fox rose to the sky and snatched Xiao Wu from the bloody mouth, Xiao Wu's chest was pierced by fangs, the front and back were transparent, and the whole person seemed to be fished out of the pool of blood, and the white fox lay on the side and whimpered.

Qiushui stumbled over, she touched Xiao Wu's face, just crying, she didn't know what to say, she was annoyed with herself, she hurt her brother's cultivation, Xiao Wu was seriously injured and dying, she couldn't do anything.

She thought that she was too selfish, because her life made those who loved her so much, maybe she should not have survived four years ago.

Xiao Wu's eyes were a little blurry, but he could feel the tears of broken threads constantly falling on his face. He felt that his nerves were a little numb, and he couldn't hear the voice in his ear clearly, and he said loudly: "Xiaoqiu!

Qiushui kept responding, but Xiao Wu couldn't hear it clearly, so he just said loudly to himself: "Xiaoqiu, you listen to me, don't cry, I'll be fine." ”

Xiao Wu could bear the pain of the wound, but the weakness of his body made Xiao Wu stop every word after speaking, and his voice was much quieter, he couldn't feel whether there were tears falling on his face, his mouth opened and closed but no sound came out, and he couldn't hear Qiushui's response.

Qiushui looked at Xiao Wu in a daze, she felt that she was wrapped in darkness, and she couldn't make a sound no matter how she shouted, only silent tears.

"Woohoo"

The white fox kept pushing Qiushui's hand and pointed to the ring on her hand. Qiushui suddenly came to his senses, stopped his tears, wiped his eyes, and hurriedly took out bottles one by one.

She kept applying medicine to Xiao Wu's wound and pouring potion into Xiao Wu's mouth, but it soon flowed out again from the corner of her mouth. Xiao Qiu's face turned pale, and he took out another bottle, put it in his mouth, and used his tongue to help Xiao Wu swallow it.

When all the medicine bottles were empty, she gently held Xiao Wu's head and waited quietly, she firmly believed that Xiao Wu could wake up.

The dark shadow in the deep pool stopped swinging, and Shangguan Zhengtian only had time to take a look at it at this moment.

This is a giant snake, and part of its body is still in the lake, and its head alone is larger than Shangguan Zhengtian, and I don't know how long it is.

Shangguan Zhengtian's eyes were cold, his heart was filled with grief and anger, as if there was a boundless hellfire running through his body, at this moment, he was like a crazy beast, vowing to die with the giant snake in front of him.
