What is behind the door in five weeks?
Nine-Tails guessed that if he entered the Five Weeks Gate, Lixuan would definitely follow.
He thought that he was unexpected, and after some words back and forth, he suddenly put out his immobilization technique, and when he couldn't react, he dodged and jumped into the door... Everything is going smoothly according to the Nine-Tails' plan.
Before he could smile at Lihuan at the time of parting, he was grabbed by his wrist, reversed his position and threw it back. Lixi's fingers hooked slightly, and the refined red spirit stone hidden by the Nine-Tails burst out of the cracked space, jumped into Lixi's arms, and quietly flashed a crimson light.
Nine-Tails was suddenly sad, he seemed to see Xia Cha hiding in Lixi's arms and smug a smile at him... I don't know if it was a hard fall, or if it was an unknown spell, the nine-tails couldn't get up no matter how hard they tried to lie on the ground.
"Koko," Bi Fangyin's miserable laughter rang out in his ears, "the door is closed,"
The Nine-Tails didn't speak.
"Even if it's death, they're going to be together. Bi Fang continued.
Nine-Tails snorted, and with all his strength, he finally rushed the spell on his body. When I looked over, the door was already closed and was gradually dissipating, and the Nine-Tails struggled to get up and ran over, but it couldn't stop the Five Weeks Gate from slowly becoming illusory.
"Now, it's just you and me. Bi Fang couldn't stand weakly, so he could only support his body against the stone wall, staring straight at the Nine-Tails, and stopped smiling.
Suddenly, a bright light flashed in those extremely old eyes, and they beckoned straight to the Nine-Tails' vest. The moment the light left, his eyes became gray and empty, and Bi Fang's thin body lost its last vitality and finally fell to the ground.
"Fox beware!"
Instead of automatically unsheathing and flashing behind the Nine-Tails to block the light that swept over quickly, Zhu'er hurriedly shouted to the Nine-Tails, but unfortunately the latter's mind was full of other things, and he couldn't hear this at all.
He didn't swing it out, and tried his best to disperse all the bright lights, but an inconspicuous piece of broken light dodged Bu Chang, and still hit the Nine-Tails, slapping him the door.
Nine-tails squirted up all the blood, only to feel that his waist was hot, the support suddenly disappeared, and the whole person was taken and fell into the already illusory five-week door...
The feeling of falling didn't last long, and the Nine-Tails felt like they were plunging headlong into a body of water. He was born with a fear of water, and he was so scared that he screamed, but all that came out of his mouth was bubbles, and he shook his limbs to try to float to the surface, but he couldn't move, and when he looked down, he realized that he had stepped into a stall of aquatic plants and was entangled to death. Subconsciously touched his waist and wanted to draw his sword to cut it, but there was only a scabbard on his waist, and after thinking about it, he suddenly found that Zhu'er was thrown in the door hole by himself!
Nine-Tails pinched himself hard and lost the bead again.
It's useless to regret it in a hurry now, so you can only find a way to get out before you make plans. Nine-tails bent down to untie the water weeds with his bare hands, but those slippery and greasy things couldn't be grasped tightly, even if they were pulled, they were surprisingly tough, and they couldn't pull at all, so they could only untie the tangled knots little by little.
Nine-tails felt that the feeling of drowning suffocation was getting stronger and stronger, and gradually began to breathe, but he couldn't untie the knot in his hand, and his heart was in a hurry, and he abandoned the method in his hand and began to flutter hard, hoping to break free from the shackles on his feet with this strength. But like this, it was just getting tighter and tighter, and the feeling of suffocation was surging, spitting out water, and drinking water into the stomach, and the strong desire to survive made the Nine-Tails struggle even more.
Nine-Tails' head began to faint, his eyes widened, and he looked straight at the small piece of light that was sprinkled above the water, and he really wanted to see what was there.
The restraints on his legs suddenly loosened, and the Nine-Tails felt like they were being carried away with the light at a rapid pace. As they got closer to the water, the Nine-Tails finally saw a figure sitting on a short staff on the shore. He could see the beautiful face clearly, and he could also see the brown scar on the man's left cheek, the scar was like a big centipede entrenched on his face, hideous and terrifying, this person was not easy to mess with at first glance...
Finally poked out of the water and made a big splash. Nine-Tails took a big breath as he grabbed the stone wall on the shore, pulled the hair stuck on his face back of his head, and looked back into the water, he obviously felt that something had brought him up just now, but this time there was nothing.
Strangely, he turned his head and saw the scarface, they were so close that they could grab each other's clothes with a single stretch of his hand, of course, he wouldn't be stupid enough to do so. Nine-Tails looked at him carefully, the loud sound just now didn't startle the person, Scarface didn't seem to notice the Nine-Tails uninvited guest at all, and still maintained a posture of looking down at the water, not listening to the outside of the window.
It's quite dark all around, and Nine-Tails doesn't dare to walk around at will, and after wringing out the droplets of water on his clothes on the shore, Nine-Tails sat quietly with Scarface for a while, and found that the other party didn't intend to pay attention to him at all, so he got closer and prepared to speak,
"This..."
"Don't bother him, leave. ā
It was a woman's voice, a woman's voice that the Nine-Tails had never heard before.
Looking around, there was nothing, and the Nine-Tails inexplicably felt a chill down his spine.
"Who are you?"
"Oh, come to my house and ask me who I am?"
Nine-tails clenched the strap of the bamboo basket with his left hand, and his right hand inertly touched the side of his waist, but he could not touch it, but he could only hold the scabbard tighter.
"It's to save people that I broke into your territory, if you offend, please ask Your Excellency Haihan, don't be surprised!"
This set of rhetoric is a bridge that Mr. Storyteller used to talk about, and the nine tails recited it, showing a polite look, no matter what, reach out and don't hit the smiling person.
"What is there to save people?" said the female voice mockingly, "all beings in the world have no hearts and livers, and if they don't kill, they are already kind." ā
"Yes," Nine-Tails didn't know what the girl's words meant, so he could only follow her words, "but that man saved my life, and I have to pay him back."
The words fell silent for a while, and the woman did not speak again. The silence around the body made the nine-tails feel very depressed, and they didn't know how to place their hands and feet, and when they were still hesitating whether they should say something if the female voice had been silent, the woman's voice finally sounded again, as if talking to herself,
"That man saved your life, but I also saved his life, why wouldn't he... Why wouldn't he want to?..."
ā... , I think, you saved him, he is naturally grateful to you in his heart, but..."
"Don't say it's just," the female voice didn't let the Nine-Tails finish her guess, "you come and see me." ā
The words didn't fall, as if someone was pulling the neckline, and the nine tails were dragged all the way into the cave.
The cave was even darker, and the Nine-Tails felt the stone wall against it, unable to see the scene in the cave clearly, and his excellent hearing let him know that the woman was only three feet away from him.
"Do you want a candle?" asked the woman, as if she had just woken up from sleep, in a lazy voice.
"Is that okay?"
"Yes. ā
A few winds sounded, and dozens of candles around them lit up together, illuminating the cave mansion.
The woman was lying on her side on the couch, her hair in a slightly disheveled bun, as if she could wake up from a big dream. But the silver palace dress on her body was neatly worn, and there were no folds in the upper half of the clothes after sleeping, and the hem and cuffs of the palace dress were trimmed with purple, which reflected the purple and gold flowers on her forehead, and she was barefoot and embroidered shoes neatly placed on the collapsed footstool.
"I've seen you. Nine-Tails said suddenly.
"Oh?" the woman raised an eyebrow at him, her lips furrowed, "I don't remember." ā
"You shouldn't know, but I've really seen you..."Nine-Tails didn't know how to explain it to her.
"Okay, don't get close to me," the woman yawned, adjusted her posture, and gently supported her face with her right hand, and said to him, "Tell me, how are you going to save him?"
"I," Nine-Tails bowed his head when asked, "I don't know..."
"Hah!" the woman couldn't help but feel as if she had been tricked, and her face suddenly changed to displeasure, "Isn't it fun?"
"I didn't mean to tease you, IāI really don't know..."
"Shh
The woman sat up, stepped on the footstool, slowly put on the brocade socks, put on her shoes and stood up, and stretched out a hand to the nine-tails, "Come, follow me,"
"Hmm," Nine-Tails thought for a moment, but still didn't say anything, caught the woman's outstretched hand, and let her lead her.
The woman is not tall, barely reaching the shoulders of the Nine-Tails, she leads the way in front, and her steps sway from side to side with her steps, which is quite beautiful.
"Here, this is my koi fish pond, isn't it big and beautiful?" the woman turned to him as she led the Nine-Tails to a body of water.
"Hmm," Nine-Tails didn't know what the woman meant.
The woman raised her head and looked at him seriously, flipped her right hand deftly, grabbed it out of thin air, and when she spread it out again, a handful of flames appeared in her palm. The woman smiled and raised her palms high so that the Nine-Tails could see clearly, and then with a wave of her little hand, she threw the flames behind her, and the entire body of water burned into a sea of fire in an instant, and the fire shone on her face, red.
"You're just teasing me," she said with a smile on her eyebrows, "I don't want to forgive you, so jump in." ā
