Chapter 10 Separation
Back at the inn, Bai Xue was about to tell him about the poison on Luo'an's body, so she looked at him and said, "You have a poison in you." ”
After hearing this, Luo An nodded in understanding.
In the past few years, whenever he can remember, he knows the condition of his body. Once a month, he would be poisoned, and he would die in pain, just like the last time he was in the carriage. And he survived every time.
Bai Xue was going to tell him something, but he didn't say anything more because he seemed to know it. Just one night passed, and she took Luo An out of the city.
It is a remote place in the northwest of the mainland, so except for a wide and long official road outside the town, it is surrounded by mountains. Bai Xue led Luo'an out of the city, and when she reached the foot of the uninhabited mountain, the red scales slid out of her wrist and fell to the ground, instantly turning into a big python.
Luo'an was stunned by this scene, but he was not afraid. He had long known that the girl who saved him was not simple, she was not very old like him, but she didn't look like a child. But she didn't expect that she still had a python spirit beast on her body. Even if the people of the Heavenly Khotan Continent are mortals, they also know about cultivators and spirit beasts.
Bai Xue didn't say much, jumped on the back of the snake, and at the same time motioned for Luo'an to climb up.
Luo'an didn't be stunned for long, he couldn't jump up like Bai Xue, so he quickly climbed to the back of the snake and sat behind Bai Xue. Once he sat down, the red scales disappeared into the mountains.
When Luo An came back to his senses, he found that they were already deep in a dense forest.
The red scales formed an enchantment around them before shrinking to Bai Xue's side.
Bai Xue said to Luo An succinctly: "Right here, I will remove the poison for you." ”
Luo An was stunned: "To remove poison for me?" He only knew that Bai Xue brought him here, but he didn't know that it was for him to remove poison.
"That's right, the poison in your body is not simple, it must be in this place where the aura is relatively sufficient. Bai Xue replied. This place is the place where Red Scales perceives their surroundings and finds that the aura is the most abundant.
Luo An pursed his lips and looked at Bai Xue for a while before answering softly.
Bai Xue didn't pay much attention to him, she took out a wooden bucket and motioned for Luo'an to go in, and Luo'an obediently sat in. The barrel is then filled with water, using aura to gradually increase the temperature of the water. At this time, Bai Xue's expression gradually became solemn, and he took out the materials he bought in Yicheng from the storage ring and threw them into the barrel one by one.
In this process, Luo An has been looking at Bai Xue steadily, and when he saw Bai Xue throw in the heavenly treasures he bought in Yicheng, his eyes were stunned for a moment, and then he pursed his lips and didn't know what he was thinking.
After Bai Xue threw the materials in, she nodded and signaled that Red Scales was ready to make a move, and a blurred figure appeared behind Red Scales, and the figure spread a complex formation around the barrel.
When the formation was completed, Luo An could no longer be indifferent, and he gradually felt that his state was like a monthly poison attack, his whole body was abnormally blue and purple, and the green tendons were bulging. But he still gritted his teeth and kept silent, he knew that since Bai Xue saved him, he would not harm him.
As time passed, he felt more and more uncomfortable with his body. The muscles and veins had the illusion that they were about to burst, and the bones inside seemed to be eaten by thousands of ants, and what was even worse was that he felt that his blood was very hot, and in the end, even the pain was covered by the heat, which gave him the illusion that his whole body was about to burn out. He couldn't help but let out a groan of pain.
At this moment, the phantom behind Red Scales threw the deep-sea sky whale tendon that Bai Xue had already taken out onto Luo An's body, and it stretched out from the veins in his hand as if it were alive, swimming all over his body.
Luo'an groaned in pain even louder. But at this moment, Bai Xue jumped into the barrel, sat opposite Luo'an, and slapped his clothes into ashes with one palm. The body of the boy about ten years old is not fully developed, he looks very thin, and there are countless scars on his body, large and small, and when he is covered in blue and purple, and the green tendons are raised, he looks extremely hideous.
Luo An had already felt it when Bai Xue jumped up, opened his eyes, and just before he could say anything about Bai Xue's behavior of turning his clothes into flying ashes, he saw Bai Xue cut his right wrist, and the blood from his right wrist quickly flowed into the bucket, and at the same time, the Sky Whale tendon in his body swam out, one end stuck in his left wrist, and the other stuck in Bai Xue's right wrist. Suddenly, he felt the heat gradually disappear from his left wrist.
But then it was extremely cold, and he felt extremely cold on the left half of his body and extremely hot on the right half of his body. The feeling of ice and fire made him very uncomfortable. He trembled in pain, his eyes were closed, and his lips were bitten by him. If he opened his eyes at this time, he would find that the bruises and purples all over his body were concentrated on the right half of his body.
The extreme cold and extreme heat seemed to be fighting, and before long, the extreme cold seemed to take over, squeezing the extreme heat into the right third of Luo'an's body. Seeing that it was almost time, Red Scales jumped in and bit down on the third of her body.
Luo An felt that the left half of his body was barely perceptible, and all his touch was concentrated at the junction of extreme heat and cold. At this moment, he felt that the right half of his body was bitten by something, and after being bitten, he felt the heat quickly receding, and the cold on the left side of his body was spreading rapidly. Gradually, he felt as if his body was unconscious, and his head was dizzy. Just before he was about to faint, he felt a body hug him.
Luo'an felt that he had a dream, and in the dream it was a very beautiful place, where Qionglou Yuyu, spirit beasts were everywhere, one by one, he couldn't imagine, like an immortal-like existence, riding all kinds of cranes or unknown spirit beasts in it. Then in the dream, he saw a little boy, the little boy was very small, probably only three or four years old, but he couldn't see his face clearly.
The little boy is very innocent and lively, everyone dotes on him, and his life is carefree.
Then, the picture changed, and he found that the little boy was standing on a high platform with a burly man, and the man's face was still not clear.
There were a lot of people under the high platform, and the man on the high platform said something that he couldn't really hear, but he found that the people under the stage were very in awe of the man on the high platform. When the words fell, the man raised the boy on his arm, and the people in the audience shouted, the sound was deafening, but he still couldn't hear it really, as if it was separated by a layer of fog.
Then the dream changed again, he still saw the little boy, I don't know why, every dream, the boy will appear, and his eyes follow him closely.
This time, the boy was a little older. The little boy is in a place that resembles a gladiatorial arena, which is very large, floating in the air, and beneath it is a formidable amount of lava. There were countless people sitting around, and above the arena sat a few people, and the man from before was also sitting at the head. The picture is very majestic and spectacular, and this huge scene makes Luo'an very shocked.
His gaze looked at the boy on the field. The boy is wanton and high-spirited, although he is a child, but from the attitude of the people around him, it can be found that he is the protagonist today. And the little boy is also very powerful, and he defeats people who provoke him, whether they are of the same age or much older than him.
The shouts from the audience were deafening.
And then it didn't take long for the picture to change again.
The picture that greeted me was a tragic scene. The former Qionglou Yuyu collapsed, everywhere in flames, the ground was full of ruins, the cranes in the sky had broken their wings, and fell in mid-air, and all kinds of spirit beasts on the ground were also running and fleeing.
In the sky, he saw the man who had once sat at the head leading the group of people in white in front of him. There are a lot of people in white, except for surrounding them layer by layer. There are also many people in white who go around abusing and destroying them.
The battle soon began, with the man in white engaged the man he was carrying.
They fought with the men in white, and the battle was devastating, but the battle was not as long as expected, there were many and strong men in white, and soon the man who led the way was seriously injured, and so did the others. But at this time, Luo An noticed that among those people, there were several people protecting a little boy, the little boy seemed to be struggling, very embarrassed, and dirty, but he was held tightly by a woman and could not break free.
The badly wounded man, along with some others, desperately opened a passage and shouted at the woman, "Go!"
The woman did not hesitate to take the boy and the men and fled immediately. And the man led some people to stop the men in white.
However, they couldn't resist for long in front of the man in white, and soon fell. The sky was covered with blood, and the former fairyland was like hell.
The man who hadn't fled far seemed to feel it, and fled with the boy at a faster pace.
The pursuers were getting closer and closer, and in order to protect the boy, there were fewer and fewer people around to follow and protect him. Until in the end, only the woman remained. The woman knew she couldn't escape, so she stopped at a high mountain. Spread a large array with your own blood and place the boy in the center of the array. The boy seemed to be scared and didn't want the woman to leave, clutching the woman's hand. But he soon became unable to move, and he eagerly said something to the woman in front of him, but the woman was unmoved, but reached out and touched his head, and said something to him. Luo An wanted to know what they were saying, but he couldn't hear it, and the dream seemed to be fogged from the beginning.
When the woman finished speaking to the boy, the boy seemed to be more eager to say something. Luo An couldn't see the boy's expression clearly, but it was strange to feel the boy's mood, the boy was very anxious, scared and afraid.
I saw the woman sitting cross-legged in front of the boy, reaching out and patting him on the forehead, and then it was visible to the naked eye that the woman's breath was sluggish. The boy cried out, and although Luo An couldn't see his face, it was as if he saw the boy crying. The atmosphere was sad, as if the sky was crying.
The pursuers soon arrived, and a group of men in white surrounded the woman and the boy. But the woman didn't care about it, but quickly withdrew from the formation and quickly made a handprint. The man in white seemed to see through her intentions and wanted to kill the woman immediately, but after all, he was one step too slow, and before the woman was killed, the formation emitted a dazzling white light, and the boy inside disappeared.
The boy roared like a wounded lone wolf before disappearing, his voice filled with pain, despair, and hatred.
The dream came to an abrupt end, and Luo'an was awakened. He opened his eyes and recalled the dream he had just had, wondering why his heart ached. He felt a little moist on both sides of his eyes, and he didn't know when his eyes were filled with tears.
He wiped the tears from his eyes, he had never allowed himself to shed tears all these years, and in his limited experience, he knew that crying was something that only the weak would do.
He didn't know why he was crying, maybe it was because of the dream, maybe it was because of the little boy's mood.
At this time, he realized that he had been hearing a burst of music in his ears. He got up and stumbled out of the humble wooden house, and rightfully saw the girl.
When the girl saw him, she immediately stopped playing. Only then did Luo An notice that she was holding a pipa in her hand, and the music just now was played by the pipa.
It was an extremely special lute, and Luo An had never seen such a beautiful pipa. The whole looks like a milky white pipa, the strings are particularly black, and the whole pipa is carved with black lines, which looks low-key and luxurious, although he has never seen what the pipa in the world looks like, but he is sure that there is no such special pipa. He had seen her holding a cloth bag before, and it turned out to be him.
"Awake?" asked Shirayuki.
Luo'an nodded.
"You've been asleep for almost ten days. ”
Luo An was stunned, it turned out that he had been asleep for so long? No wonder he would appear in this wooden house, it seems that it was built by the little girl in front of him.
He said bluntly to Bai Xue: "Thank you." ”
Bai Xue didn't care, saving him was just a convenient thing, and he didn't want anything in return from this young man, although this saved his life.
She actually wanted to ask him if he remembered his own background. She had just played a piece called "Reincarnation". As a soul technique, it is urged by the soul sound and played with its own natal instrument, its function is to make people indulge in reincarnation and never wake up, it is a song that kills people in the invisible, making people fall asleep, sink in reincarnation, and die in their sleep and never wake up. But Bai Xue didn't use it to make Luo An not wake up again, the song "Reincarnation" can kill people, but it has a role, that is, to make people dream back to their own life in their dreams, and Bai Xue's purpose in playing this song is here. Although the poison in his body has been removed, the seal has not been loosened, even the red scales cannot remove the seal on his body, and the seal on his head is the same. So she played the piece, hoping that he would remember something.
But looking at the young man's appearance, it didn't look like he remembered his own life experience, and Bai Xue didn't plan to say anything. They had already spent some time in the mountains, and it was time to set off, and before that, they had to settle Luo'an, and Bai Xue had no intention of taking him with him. Her identity was not destined to be in the company of others, and she didn't need to.
Bai Xue said to Luo'an, "Let's get out of here." ”
Luo An has no objection, since she saved him, his life is hers, and he will go wherever Bai Xue goes.
Instead of taking him on the road, Snow took him to a small town. In the past few days when Luo'an was asleep, she had already found out that there was a family in this small town who lost their children at an early age, and the two of them had never come out, so they had always wanted to find a good child to adopt. Although the family of these two children is not too wealthy, they have also passed by, the point is that the old couple's conduct is not bad, and it is better to make Luo'an their children.
Standing in front of a courtyard door, Shirayuki pulled the knocker and knocked on the door, and the door was immediately opened.
The one who came to open the door was a middle-aged woman with a kind face, and when she saw Bai Xue and the little boy beside her, she immediately enthusiastically introduced them.
"Xiaoxue, here, have you eaten, hey, the master, Xiaoxue, they are here, go cook quickly." Without waiting for the snow to answer, the woman called out to her other half.
"Xiaoxue, why didn't you say anything?" the woman said with a smile, looked at the young man next to Bai Xue, and asked, "Who is this boy?"
Bai Xue looked up at the woman and said, "He's my brother." ”
When the woman heard her say this, she became even more enthusiastic. Hurriedly beckoned them to sit in the hall, and the women always asked about the situation of Luo'an, consciously or unconsciously. During the meal, the woman and her husband were very enthusiastic about Luo'an. Luo An looked at this scene and did not say anything, but was more silent than before.
In the evening, everyone rested, and the couple also arranged two rooms for Luo'an and Bai Xue respectively, which were close to each other and not far from each other.
It was the middle of the night in the treetops on the moon, Bai Xue couldn't sleep, so he hugged Hei Xuan and planned to go out of the yard to relax, but he didn't expect to see Luo An standing straight at the door as soon as he opened the door, Bai Xue was stunned, and then heard him ask: "Do you want to leave me?"
The boy just asked very ordinarily, as if asking if you had dinner today, but Bai Xue could sense his worry in it.
She didn't answer right away, even though she was just going out for a walk. But she felt that she still needed to tell Luo An about her plans.
The boy under the moon, his face bathed in the moonlight, his dark red eyes looked at her persistently, waiting for her answer. At this time, Bai Xue realized that even if he hadn't grown yet, the young man's facial features were very beautiful, and he could imagine what kind of demeanor he would be like when he grew up.
Bai Xue looked at him and said, "This family is very good, they won't treat you badly, I told them that you are my younger brother, and they will raise you as their own son." You will have a good family. ”
She had been there when Luo'an was in a coma, and she told them that she had a younger brother, and because the family was in a state of despair, she had to sell his brother to find a good home for him, and she had to find another way to make a living. The couple also had the intention of adopting a child, and judging from today's situation, they must be very satisfied.
"I don't need to, I just want to go with you, I'll go wherever you go, I won't trouble you. "It was the first time that the teenager had said so many words in front of her.
But Bai Xue still shook her head.
Luo'an's lips pursed into a line, her little face clenched, and asked, "Why?" "Why can't you let yourself follow, just dislike me so much?"
Bai Xue said: "I just saved you at the beginning, I am used to being independent, and you and I are children, I can't take care of you all the time." ”
Hearing this, the fire in Luo'an's eyes seemed to be extinguished all at once.
Yes, she can't take care of herself all the time, although she knows that she is a cultivator, but I'm afraid it's a burden to bring herself, she's just an ordinary person, and before that she was a wanderer who no one cared about in the corner. She didn't want it, she saved herself, detoxified herself, saved herself from the pain every month, and now found a family for herself. What are you not satisfied with? However, I am really unwilling, unwilling, why am I just an ordinary person?
Bai Xue saw Luo An standing in front gloomily, and didn't know what to say, so after thinking about it, she took out a jade slip from the storage ring and handed it to him.
Luo An looked at her suspiciously.
Bai Xue said: "There is a cultivation method in this jade slip, if you can learn it, you can learn it, and if you can't be an ordinary person." But no matter what, this jade slip can't be known to the third person. Otherwise, you'll be killed. "This jade slip she gave is a relatively advanced fire system technique, something left to her by Qian Han. The bracelet left to her by her master Qianhan contained all kinds of tricks, and she couldn't use them. Although this fire-based technique is not the top, it is not bad, after all, it is something left by her master Qianhan. In this Heavenly Khotanese Continent, it is a top-level exercise, if it is exposed, I am afraid that the people of the entire continent will rush to it, and then he may be in danger, and I am afraid that the crime of Huaibi will kill him.
Now that the poison has been removed, but his meridian physique and memory are still sealed, he is now an ordinary child with no qualifications, and he can't cultivate for a day if he doesn't lift the seal. Bai Xue left the jade slip to him, and it didn't matter if he could cultivate or not, it all depended on his own future creation.
Luo An silently took the jade slip and held it tightly, but he couldn't calm down in his heart. Of course, he knew the importance of cultivating the Fa Technique, which was something that many people dreamed of, and how many people wanted to step into the ranks of cultivators, but either because they had no qualifications, or they didn't have the Fa Cultivation Method, this was something that could change people's fate. He didn't expect her to give him something so valuable.
Bai Xue saw that it was late at night, and she had no interest in going out for a walk again, so she said to him: "It's late at night, go back, I will leave early tomorrow morning." After speaking, he turned around and planned to go back to the room, but as soon as he turned around, he heard Luo An say: "Wait." ”
Bai Xue turned around, her face puzzled.
The young man looked at Bai Xue seriously for a while and asked, "What is your name, where can I find you in the future?"
Bai Xue didn't expect him to ask this question, but it was true that she had never told Luo An everything about herself. But she still shook her head and said, "If there is a fate, we will see each other in the future." ”
She didn't plan to tell him what her name was, maybe he could break the seal and become the pride of the sky, maybe he would never be able to break his seal and become an ordinary person, birth, old age, sickness and death, no matter which one they were, they would not have intersection. She is a demon cultivator, and she has never forgotten her identity. In that case, there was no need to tell him that to her he was just a passer-by in life.
The next day, before dawn, Bai Xue woke up from her meditative state and quietly left. She didn't tell anyone, neither the couple nor the teenager was enough to keep her lingering too long.
So she didn't know that at the gate of the courtyard where she had left, there was a boy who had been standing there for a long, long time.
