Chapter 61 Investigation
The Soul Eater fled too fast, and the two of them followed the trail of the Soul Eater Clan and flew hundreds of miles to the south, and Feng Zhiling's aura became more and more disordered.
"Senior sister, I'll heal your wounds first......" Lan Yuan said worriedly.
"I'm fine...... Chase down the Soul Clan first......" Feng Zhiling tried to speak as much as possible, lest Lan Yuan worry too much. She only felt that the pain coming from her lumbar vertebrae seemed to divide her into two parts, and the internal injuries from being shocked by the Hidden Dragon Sword also left her with only one percent of her strength, but she knew that the danger of the Soul Eater Clan's escape was too great, and once the Soul Eater Clan lost control of the Three Realms, the Three Realms would be in chaos.
The Soul Eaters have been sealed and fed in the Soul Eater for so long, it can be inferred that they are not able to rely on their own strength to do the disaster at present, but once they find a suitable foster host and have a powerful carrier, and if this host is controlled by evil forces, then it may be an even more difficult object to deal with than Ling Xiao - otherwise Ling Xiao will not be controlled by the Soul Eater.
Lan Yuan knew that she was seriously injured, and he couldn't bear to let her talk more, so he had to remain silent all the way.
Following the breath and small sounds left by the Soul Eater Clan, Lan Yuan supported Feng Zhiling and resisted the qi for hundreds of miles, and had already reached the south of the Yangtze River, but the Soul Eater Clan suddenly disappeared without a trace.
"Strange. Lan Yuan had to land with Feng Zhiling in an endless mountain range, and he decided to heal Feng Zhiling first.
"Here...... Is there any enchantment around?" Feng Zhiling asked weakly.
"Don't talk yet, guard the dantian, close your eyes and adjust your mind. Lan Yuan and Feng Zhiling sat under an ancient pine tree, channeling true qi for her to heal her internal injuries.
Feng Zhiling's injury was too severe, and Lan Yuan forced out the stuffy blood that had accumulated in his chest, but it was only slightly relieved. Lan Yuan sighed, regretting that he had shot too hard just now. Without two or three months of True Qi treatment, Feng Zhiling's internal injuries would not have been able to heal.
"I know what you mean. This is the closest to the barrier of the Nagasuki Gate. Lan Yuan gently put Feng Zhiling down and said, "Your lumbar vertebra is broken, I'll help you graft your bones, you bear with it, it will hurt a lot." ”
Feng Zhiling: "I ......"
"Senior brother knows that you are afraid of pain...... Lan Yuan comforted Feng Zhiling softly, "It's all my fault for being too heavy." ”
When Feng Zhiling heard this, her eyes were uncontrollably moist.
Lan Yuan looked at her lost soul, his heart was in a ball, his fingers curled, and he forced himself to connect Feng Zhiling's lumbar vertebrae.
Lan Yuan helped Feng Zhiling to lie on his side, tore the cuffs of his clothes, folded them into a square strip for Feng Zhiling to bite, and then stretched out his palm to explore Feng Zhiling's lower back. The abrupt bones even made him feel awkward, and the moment he touched the injury, Feng Zhiling's body trembled, Lan Yuan paused for a moment, and waited until she got used to her palm before she whispered, "Then I'll start." ”
After speaking, Lan Yuan exerted his strength to push around Feng Zhiling's lumbar spine, and after about a stick of incense, he took a deep breath and stopped.
Feng Zhiling bit the cuff given by Lan Yuan tightly, and couldn't help but let out a few painful moans, the clothes on her back were wet with sweat, and there were large beads of sweat on her forehead.
Lan Yuan's palm left Feng Zhiling's lower back, Feng Zhiling took off the sleevecloth in his mouth, and said vaguely with Lan Yuan on his back: "Thank you......"
"You take a break. Lan Yuan said softly, his tone was gentle, and it sounded like he was lying on a soft white cloud, "The Soul Eater Clan is a trace of disappearing around here, and when you are well rested, we will secretly go to Changxue Gate to have a look." ”
Feng Zhiling barely supported all the way, she had already lost her internal strength, if it weren't for Lan Yuan silently conveying true qi to her all the way, she would have passed out a coma. Listening to Lan Yuan's comfortable voice at this moment, she closed her eyes with peace of mind.
When Feng Zhiling woke up, it was already night. Lan Yuan sat beside her and meditated, and opened her eyes as she woke up.
The not-so-round silver moon disk hung high in the night sky, dark and silent everywhere, and the occasional cooing of night owls in the woods.
Feng Zhiling still had her back to Lan Yuan, maintaining the posture before she fell asleep, as if the soft and warm embrace she touched in a daze was just a dream.
"Why did you risk your life to free the Soul Eater?" Lan Yuan asked, knowing that she was awake, without any emotion in his tone.
Can Feng Zhiling say it's because of Ling Xiao?
The relationship between her and Ling Xiao is already difficult to argue, and she said that it was for Ling Xiao, and she thought that she would never be able to explain it clearly.
Feng Zhiling supported the ground with her right hand and slowly stood up, her lumbar spine and internal injuries had not fully recovered, her body swayed from side to side, in order to avoid falling, she was busy supporting the ancient pine tree next to her with her hand.
"I'm sorry, I ...... It is not yet possible to say. ”
Lan Yuan immediately stood up and wanted to help her, but he only stretched out his hand slightly and took it back.
"I knew it had something to do with Ling Xiao. Lan Yuan put his hands behind his back, stood on the hillside and looked at the stretching peaks, and said, "The escape of the Soul Eater Clan is related to the safety of the Three Realms, and I hope you can tell the truth you know." ”
Lan Yuan's tone was cold, at this moment he was no different from the Lord of the Immortal Alliance sitting in the Nine Heavens Palace, indifferent and compassionate, reflecting all the careful thoughts in Feng Zhiling's heart as worthless.
"The Soul Eater may be controlled by something else. Feng Zhi Ling said, "They were originally sealed in the Soul Choke, and Ling Xiao used his True Qi to refine the Soul Choke, but ...... Some time ago, they suddenly became no longer controlled, but had a tendency to control the sky. ”
What Feng Zhiling said was the truth, but she didn't say the details of Ling Xiao's offering to the Soul Eater and being devoured by the Soul Eater. Ling Xiao's current appearance, she can't bear to tell others.
Lan Yuan got a lot of information from Feng Zhiling's words.
Under the world, apart from the Soul Eater having the power to seal the Soul Eater, what else can control the Soul Eater?
Only a few of the other four immortal artifacts have this possibility.
Zhenyuan Stone was sealed somewhere in Taiyi Mountain and never moved, the Hidden Dragon Sword was in his hand, and the rest was the Demon Killing Knife.
If the Demon Killing Knife has been unsealed, but the intention is to control the Soul Eater for their own use, then most of the people who possess the Demon Killing Knife will not have any good intentions.
"If that's the case, and the Soul Eaters disappear around here, I'll go to the Snow Gate right now. Lan Yuan turned his head to look at Feng Zhiling and said, "You can stay here and wait for me, or, go back...... Healing. ”
Get back?
Will Taiyi Gate return to the Demon Realm?
Is Senior Brother asking me to go back to the Demon Realm? He thinks that the place where I belong in my heart is the Demon Realm?
"I'm with you. Feng Zhiling took out a bottle of elixir from Qiankun's sleeve, poured out one, put it in his mouth and swallowed it, and said, "This is an elixir for treating internal injuries, it can help me recover, I won't drag you down." One more person is always good. ”
"I'm not afraid you'll drag me down. ”
There was a miasma of smoke between the mountains in the south, and a misty fog barrier drifted from the valley, bringing with it a wet chill.
"Foggy?" Feng Zhiling asked confusedly.
"It's a poisonous miasma!" Lan Yuan quickly noticed the abnormality, and took Feng Zhiling's hand and left the small hill.
Even though the two of them left quickly, they also inhaled some poisonous gas. The two of them left the smoky mountains, and finally found a clear and open valley to settle in, and soon found themselves a little dizzy.
"This is an antidote pill, I don't know if it works, you take one and try it. Feng Zhiling took out the pill bottle from Qiankun's sleeve, poured one pill for Lan Yuan, and took one for herself.
After Lan Yuan took the pill, he felt that his mind was clearer, and he said suspiciously: "This poisonous miasma is too strange. There was no sudden change in temperature, no strong wind blowing, and it was just night, so before dawn, how could there be such a big fog?"
"Senior Brother is saying that it is artificial?" Feng Zhiling asked, "Are there any suspicious people following you along the way?"
"Nope. Lan Yuan replied dryly, "If there is, it must be someone who is much higher than my cultivation." ”
Feng Zhiling knew that in this world, except for the self-styled Lian Mingxuan, no one's cultivation could be higher than Lan Yuan. "If it's not that we're being followed, does anyone know we're here? Or maybe the miasma isn't aimed at us?"
Feng Zhiling held his forehead, and Lan Yuan said when he saw this: "You hurry up and meditate to force the poisonous gas out." ”
Lan Yuan helped Feng Zhiling to meditate, and he was also a little out of strength, so he immediately meditated and detoxified.
The poisonous gas was too strong, the two of them only inhaled a very small amount, and they also took the antidote pill, but they still felt so uncomfortable, if they really fell into the poisonous miasma, the consequences were even more unimaginable.
"There are voices. Lan Yuan whispered to Feng Zhiling, "Don't move, don't disturb it yet." ”
"Hmm. Feng Zhiling responded tacitly, did not move, only opened his eyes and observed the surroundings.
"Huh...... hiss......" The voice became louder and louder, Feng Zhiling's scalp tingled when she heard this sound, and she couldn't help but lean towards Lan Yuan's side.
"This beast actually slipped here from Dongting Lake, it seems that he doesn't want to die. Lan Yuan said, pulling out the Yichen Sword in his hand, and quickly got up and looked behind him.
Sensing danger, the thing turned around and slipped away, winding through the woods as fast as a snake.
It was a huge snake, coiled up about the size of a hill, its tail was thicker than Feng Zhiling's waist, its skin was harder than a rock, and its body was more than ten zhang long.
Lan Yuan chased the snake for two or three miles, and suddenly heard a shout of "ah", Fang realized that something was wrong, and hurriedly turned around and returned to the original valley.
Feng Zhiling was no longer in place, and was replaced by another green and yellow snake, with a small piece protruding from the snake's belly.
"Senior Sister Feng!" Lan Yuan's heart beat faster and shouted urgently, "Senior Sister Feng, where are you?"
"Ahh
