Retreating to the Ridge of Despair, where the dark clouds and heavy rain stopped, falling behind, the bright sun that had just crawled out of the east was greeted by the mood of everyone at this time.

As soon as they finished saying goodbye to Banmei, Hu Ying, Jichu, and Mountain Dog, Kui Ge and other spring sandalwood tree monsters appeared, surrounding everyone in the middle, and frightened Xuhui and Yueling'er towards Shun, Sima Shuo and He Wushuang's faces were solemn, and they were distributed left and right, protecting Yueling'er in the middle.

"Master, we escort you back. Brother Kui stepped forward and said.

Dun didn't say anything, just nodded slightly, Xuhui and Yue Ling'er breathed a sigh of relief, laughing and laughing along the way, Sima Shuoming also talked and laughed on his face, but in his heart he was discussing the current state of affairs with Ying.

"The old guy may not be able to do it anymore. In the end, Ying came to this conclusion.

Sima Shuo also felt that it was very possible, he felt a little sour in his heart, he had been with the Hidden Earth Beast for seven or eight years, although he always guarded against him because he didn't know what his purpose was for him, but it didn't affect his emotions, and now he was even a little guilty.

"The problem now is those tree monsters, looking at the posture they won't let us go. Sima Shuo said worriedly.

Shadow wasn't so worried, "For the sake of that little black snake, the old guy will definitely leave you a way out, if I'm not mistaken, I'll entrust it to you, which may be the reason for adopting you." ”

Sima Shuo was stunned, he had never thought of this possibility before, because there were too many things and things in the Holy Realm that he couldn't think of, although Dun was late, he couldn't say if there would be any way to extend his life, so he really didn't expect Dun to die.

Especially after Ao Xuan was born, the state of the whole person changed, and he didn't sleep often, but his spirit was better, and he told them something about his past from time to time, and now he was reminded by Yingyi, Sima Shuo recalled his grandfather, and in the first few years of his death, he was also like this.

Unconsciously, Sima Shuo clenched his fists, the smile on his face was gone, he lowered his head and was silent, this change was only discovered by He Wushuang, he glanced at a circle of tree monsters, and had a not very good feeling, and secretly became vigilant.

Walking silently all the way, Sima Shuo glanced at him from time to time, although his face was haggard, his eyes were very bright, and the closer he was to the 'Wangjue Peak', the better his spirit was better, which was like a performance of returning to the light, making Sima Shuo more and more sure of his guesses, and his brows wrinkled involuntarily.

Suddenly, a voice sounded in his heart: "Don't worry, it'll be fine." ”

Sima Shuo looked up at his back that suddenly became majestic, and nodded silently.

When she arrived at the foot of the mountain, Yue Ling'er proposed to go back to 'Yexiao Mountain' to report her safety to her master, but was rejected by Sima Shuo on the grounds that she wanted to give her and Ao Xuan a good meal to celebrate their safe return, for fear that as soon as she left with her front foot, her back foot would be captured by the tree monsters.

Xu Hui echoed beside him: "Brother Shuo is right, you have to run all day through the tunnel, and you have the strength to go back when you are full." ”

Yue Ling'er thought about it, although she hadn't seen Master for a few days, and she was a little worried, but her stomach was croaking with hunger now, and when she was full, she went back to see Master, and Master saw that she was alive, so she wouldn't worry too much about herself, and she wouldn't let herself go outside to play in the future.

When they reached the top of the mountain, the tree monsters scattered and stood a hundred feet away from the entrance of the cave, surrounding the top of the mountain in the middle, at this time Xuhui and Yueling'er knew that something was wrong, and followed closely, Xuhui asked in a low voice, "What's the situation?"

At this time, Brother Kui said: "Old fellow, hand over the dragon scales, I can release five little ones, otherwise let them be buried with you." ”

He said disdainfully: "You want to kill the old man with a dozen or so rotten woods?" ”

"It's true, if it was three days ago, we couldn't fight you together, but now your Jindan is about to be destroyed, I don't think you can survive without us taking action. Lao Mu smiled cruelly.

Dun Leng snorted, raised his hand and slapped the ground, and small gray snakes came out of the ground, which startled Sima Shuo and Xuhui, and hurriedly leaned towards Dun, but those little gray snakes didn't seem to see them, and they all pounced on the spring sandalwood tree monsters.

He walked straight to the cave and said tiredly, "Follow me." ”

After everyone entered the cave, a stone slab rose on the ground at the entrance of the cave, sealing the entrance of the cave, and the ground on both sides of the cave lit up, which was a whole row of luminous stones, one every three zhang or so, illuminating the entire cave, which was not the same as when Sima Shuo first came in, and the line composed of two luminous stones made the whole cave like a passage to another world.

Sima Shuo even thought that it would be good if this passage connected to his original world.

"Brother Shuo, what's going on?" Yue Ling'er asked timidly as she hid beside He Wushuang.

Sima Shuo looked at the retreat that was slowly walking in front of him, and sighed: "The retreat beast, he may not be able to." ”

"What? Why is this happening?" said Xuhui in disbelief.

Sima Shuo shook his head, he didn't know, Yue Ling'er muttered, "Is it because he saved us?"

Ao Xuan swam to Dun's nose, stared at him deadly, tears swirled in his eyes, Dun held him in his hand, and said with a smile: "It's none of your business, I don't have much left of my original Shouyuan, it's just careless, I didn't expect those tree monsters to do tricks and feet in the spring sandalwood fruit for me, add a hundred-legged egg, and after putting it into the Jindan space, the centipede eggs die, releasing poisonous gas, eroding my Jindan, and making my Jindan collapse." ”

In fact, there is another reason why he didn't say it, for fear that Ao Xuan and Yue Ling'er would blame themselves, because the cave used to save them was not an ordinary cave, and they needed to avoid the protection array of the human race, so they had to open up a space passage, like a tunnel connecting the 'Night Xiao Mountain', but it was more difficult than that, after all, there was no formation barrier between 'Wangjue Peak' and 'Night Xiao Mountain', and the use of space was not so complicated, which is why it took him nearly three days to dig through the hole into the 'Oil Fire City'.

Because of this, his spiritual power and mind were consumed too much, allowing those poisonous gases to take advantage of them and ravage his golden pills wildly.

Walking to the end of the cave, Sima Shuo didn't see the body of Ao Xuan's mother, there was only a pile of bones left in the original position, think about it, two years have passed, and it is normal to decompose.

He turned around and glanced around with a smile, the past two years of sobriety had restored some luster to his life, and everything was no longer gray like after the Dan Fire was extinguished.

Sima Shuo, the child of a dead friend, is precocious and does not like words, often giving himself the illusion that this is not a child, but a young man who has already perfected his thoughts, and he even suspected that he was taken away, but later from his ignorance of cultivation and holy arts, he was indeed a little child.

Xuhui, who is also a friend's child, but came to his side by chance, just like the arrangement of fate, instead of trusting Gu, he wants to worship himself as a teacher, but his own path is not suitable for him, and he can't guide him anything, so he didn't agree.

Ao Xuan, the child of the love of his life and others, the beloved found himself before he died, saved her with the last bit of vitality, and entrusted it to himself, and took her as an apprentice, he wanted to teach him what he had learned all his life, but now it seems that there is no such opportunity.

Crane Wushuang, if it weren't for the fact that he couldn't speak or fly, he would have thought that it was Bi Fang, who was extinct in ancient times, and through investigation, he was a mystery, only found out that he fell from the sky into 'Lin Mengze', and nothing was found before.

Yue Ling'er, an optimistic little guy, accompanied by good fortune, spent the treasure medicine of the mountain lord of 'Yexiao Mountain' to let her evolve from a beast to a demon, and at the same time was ready to teach her the skills of her life, but unfortunately this matter, they had to separate their master and apprentice for a while.

His eyes wandered away for a while, he looked down at Ao Xuan, who was looking at him with his head tilted in his palm, and stroked his head over and over again, Sima Shuo and the others looked at him quietly, not daring to interrupt his thoughts, and waited for him to speak silently.

After a long while, he raised his head to look at Sima Shuo, stretched out his hand and handed Ao Xuan to him and said, "Shuozi, I entrust Xiao Xuan to you, I hope you can help me take good care of him." ”

Sima Shuo hugged the reluctant Ao Xuan, and lowered his head heavily, this moment really came, he endured the sourness in his heart, and said firmly: "Don't worry, I will protect him." ”

He nodded with satisfaction, spit out a white bone knife and a wolf tooth necklace from his mouth, the bone knife style is like the Ming Dynasty embroidered spring knife, the knife is four feet long, the necklace body is a metal fishbone style, the wolf tooth of the pendant part is engraved with many lines, the lines are cast with black and gold metal, deep and gorgeous, and the link part of the chain body is a fierce wolf head, with a big mouth biting the wolf teeth.

"This is what I gave you, they are all made of your two upper dog teeth, the bone knife is only refined into shape, and you need to refine and strengthen it yourself, and the necklace is a gift from me when I wish you to surpass me in the future. ”

Sima Shuo put Ao Xuan on his shoulder, solemnly stretched out his hands and took the two things, the reason why the bone knife is the style of the embroidered spring knife is because during the characteristic, he asked him what kind of weapon he wanted to use after becoming a human in the future, at that time Sima Shuo drew the appearance of the embroidered spring knife on the ground, this kind of knife Sima Shuo had only seen on TV, and he liked it at first sight, and he just nodded after reading it at that time, and then left, but he didn't expect to really refine such a knife for him.

Put on the necklace, put the bone knife on the belt around the waist, the belt cracked silently, before the pants fell, Sima Shuo hurriedly reached out and grabbed it, put down the book behind him, took out a new trouser belt, just fastened it, and handed over the bone knife happily, but at this time the bone knife had been put on a dark blue scabbard, Sima Shuo suddenly understood that the bone knife was deliberately tricked on his own, smiled and reluctantly took the knife, wrapped one end of the broken belt around the knife, and tied the other end to the belt, and then tightened it to make the two fit, so that it would not be too diaphragmatic, and it would not be thrown around.

Dun Xiao looked at him, nodded, quite satisfied, and then said to Ao Xuan: "Follow your brother Shuo well, you can't be so willful, you have to listen to him no matter what happens in the future, and also, before you don't have enough strength, you are not allowed to explore your parents' affairs, do you hear?"

Ao Xuan choked up with tears and said, "Got it." ”

"And you, Keiko, before you canonize you, you must go back to the clan to find your father, although he is indeed annoying, but he is by no means a ruthless and unrighteous person, there must be a reason for doing so, don't let the unexplained resentment become the demon in your heart when you canonized. ”

Xuhui kept wiping the tears that he couldn't stop with his wings, and after hearing Dun's words, he let out a heavy 'um', and he re-experienced the feeling of home, and now it is suddenly gone, and he has to return to that kind of wandering life, as if all this is caused by the bad luck he brought, if it were not for him, Dun might not have died, and Sima Shuo and Ao Xuan would not have become orphans with no one to take care of them like themselves, the more he thought about him, the more angry he became, angry that he had to bet with Jin Yi to come here' Wangjuefeng', angry why didn't he die in the mouth of Brother Kui or the gray python, and angry why he didn't leave after that.

His eyes finally fell on He Wushuang and Yue Ling'er, and he said apologetically: "The most innocent here are you two little guys, I only have a teleportation array here, leading to the demon clan realm on the other side of the 'Despair Ridge', if you want to go back to 'Lin Mengze' and 'Yexiao Mountain', it will be very difficult, I'm sorry." ”

Yue Ling'er waved her hand again and again, crying: "This is also something that can't be helped, you can't blame the old-timers, if you want to blame the bad trees outside, it's too bad." ”

Crane Wushuang nodded in agreement, he was also not surprised, in the final analysis, their own strength was too weak to compete with the tree monsters outside.

Dun smiled and nodded slightly, and continued, "I have a letter here, I hope that the five of you can help me send it to the 'Iron Tree Hall' and give it to my nephew Jia Hui, so that he can hand it over to my wife and son." ”

"At the same time, you can also learn some basic holy arts from the Iron Tree Hall, improve your cultivation and strength, and it will be much easier to come back at that time. ”

"Good. Sima Shuo took the letter that he said, and it was a palm-sized stone.

"Of course, you have to be paid for doing things, these are the two holy arts of the dragon carp clan, namely: dividing the golden claw and fixing the acupuncture hand; except for Ao Xuan, the four of you can only choose one of them to learn, otherwise you will provoke the pursuit of the dragon carp clan. ”

Looking at the two stone slabs about the size of the book that Dun handed over, Sima Shuo assured Dun for the second time: "I will watch, that kind of stupid thing will never happen." ”

After explaining everything, he walked to the pile of bones and sat down, looked at everyone with a smile, and slapped the ground heavily, and the feet of Sima Shuo and the others suddenly lit up, and countless holy texts appeared, only then did they find that there were many inch-deep dents on the ground, flowing with white liquid, and the light was emitted from the liquid.

After a while, the liquid became brighter and brighter, shining so brightly that everyone had to close their eyes, and Sima Shuo finally vaguely saw that he smiled and slowly closed his eyes, as if he had unloaded all his burdens, and lay down in the pile of bones easily, falling into a deep sleep.

When he opened his eyes again, Sima Shuo and the five of them had already appeared on a grassland, and Xuhui muttered to himself, "That's how it feels." ”

Just as when he fled from his clan to the 'Despair Ridge', it was the same scene, it was the same feeling, and in a trance, he left the original place and went to a strange land 108,000 miles away, as if waking up from a dream, where it was a dream, and this side was real.
