Chapter Twenty-Four: The Blind Child

Laxmi had already walked up to the boy, crouched down and asked him, "Do you remember us, Baby?" ”

"Well, I remember, I'm a youkai!" The boy said in a brisk tone.

Hua Jiuxi scratched his head and said to himself: "What's going on?" ”

"What's the problem?" A woman's voice convulsed, it was Zhu Shi, "It's been more than an hour, if your action is successful, you should have a reaction." It seems to have succeeded. ”

"Well, Sister Zhu Shi. We managed to get the boy out of the dream, but now he has taken on the form of a dream...... What the hell is going on? ”

"Yes, the boy is a particularly magical monster - there is only one living creature in the whole world. There is only one way to bring him out of the illusion of nothingness. That is to create a complete personality and identity for him. When he walks out of the dream space, he becomes the character he is portrayed, and he is extremely dependent on the person who gives him personality...... "Zhu Shi explained.

"Oh." Hua Jiuxi nodded.

"What did you make him look like?" Zhu Shi asked.

"A... Cute little boy. Hua Jiuxi said with some embarrassment, "Me and Laxmi's child." ”

Zhu Shi smiled: "It's interesting, but the people who successfully trapped the blind boy in history generally turned him into their own child." After that, the boy will grow up like a normal human child—until the death of his master, and then fall back into a deep sleep—in other words, how long have you been in that sleepland? ”

"Seven years." Hua Jiuxi replied briefly and forcefully, not knowing whether it was long or short.

Zhu Shi pondered for a while and said, "You guys are very playful...... Fortunately, time in space is out of sync with reality. However, when you suddenly return to the real world, will you feel lost, or will you lose your fighting spirit? ”

Hua Jiuxi patted his face, "I just don't have any fighting spirit now...... Anyway, what were we going to do seven years ago? I had to adapt. ”

"Very good, it's a pity I'm not here, otherwise I'll have to love you well in order to restore your fighting spirit." Zhu Shi said.

"Love?" Hua Jiuxi's mind suddenly came alive.

"Well, love you with your fists." Zhu Shi said, "That's fine, you and the millet sister have a more harmonious relationship, if there is a crisis, the husband and wife will definitely take care of each other." ”

Hua Jiuxi's face turned red and said, "Although this is the case in the dream, but in reality, we obviously didn't touch a finger." ”

He looked back at Laxmi, and the other party's mind was all on the child. The two of them were playing with the flower thread, Hua Jiuxi walked over shyly and said, "Xiaomi, it looks like things are a little bad......"

Laxmi tilted her head, "What's wrong?" ”

"According to Sister Zhu Shi's words, the blind boy will really regard us as parents." Hua Jiuxi was afraid of upsetting Laxmimi, so she had to say in a hurry, "And he will grow up like a normal child." ”

Laxmimi's eyes widened: "What's wrong?" ”

Hua Jiuxi didn't know how to answer.

Laxmimi's mind twirled a few times and asked, "Little flower—do you think that everything before was a game of deceiving children?" ”

"No, no, of course not that." Hua Jiuxi saw Laxmi's somewhat annoyed look, and immediately grasped her thoughts, "So you're still mine-"

"Fiancée, right?" Hua Jiuxi said this word, and his heart almost blocked his throat.

Lakshmi's face suddenly turned as red as a boiled crab, and her white hands immediately covered her face: "You say what you are......

Hua Jiuxi frowned, this felt really weird. Obviously, the girl in front of her is already very familiar, but in the time and space in front of her, the two have only known each other for no more than two months. It's amazing.

He gently pinched Laxmi's fingers as he always did, and said, "So where are you going now—when the matter is now taken care of?" "It's a reality he's concerned about.

"I'm not going anywhere...... Laxmi said in a very gentle voice, "I'm right next to you, unless you drive me away." ”

This is probably the most appropriate answer. And this is the real world, not a dream, the real tomorrow, who would have predicted what would happen? However, even with this moment of warmth, the two of them also felt a breeze like a twilight spring.

The next question is what to do with the blind child. Hua Jiuxi leaned over and said to the boy, "Child, do you know why you're here?" ”

The boy blinked: "I had a long dream, and at first there was no one else - I was so scared." Then Mom and Dad came and was with you, and I couldn't be happier. Wake up, and I will wake up with you. ”

"So, why are you in a dream?" Hua Jiuxi was curious about these words.

"I'm a monster of dreams, and every time I wake up, I change into all kinds of people, and I know all of this." "There are a lot of people who want to wake me up, but some people are not good, so I don't want to go with them. I like you guys, so I'm willing to be your kids. ”

"You're our child." Laxmi stroked his head.

"So, you're 'playing' the role we've given you?" Hua Jiuxi intends to get to the bottom of it.

"I don't understand what you're talking about, Dad?" The child's eyes widened, after all, he was only a child under the age of seven, "Aren't children all because of who they like, so they become that person's child?" ”

Hua Jiuxi couldn't cry or laugh, and also touched his head and said, "It's not like that - we will take you to the real world in the future, it's much more fun than in dreams." ”

"Hmm!" The boy was particularly excited.

"Then again, how are we going to take him on a trek?" Hua Jiuxi asked Laxmi, and both of them were in trouble.

The boy vaguely guessed the meaning of the two people, and hurriedly said, "I'm a monster." ”

Hua Jiuxi looked at him with a "nonsense" expression, and the white light on the boy appeared, and he returned to the terrifying prototype of the big snake. He surrounded Huajiuxi in three or two clicks, and Laxmi panicked and hurriedly stopped it.

"It's okay, the kid is playing with me." Hua Jiuxi grinned, and the boy was rubbing Hua Jiuxi's face with his mouth, and he said out of nowhere: "It's just like this—I can get bigger or smaller." ”

"How small can it be?" Hua Jiuxi asked, this is the point.

There was a sudden light on him, and the big white snake was gone. It's just that his wrist was cool all of a sudden, and it turned out to be a small snake the size of a bracelet that turned into a boy and wrapped around his arm.

"Good boy, I have wronged you for a while, let's keep it like this for the time being!" Hua Jiuxi stroked the child's body, and the boy obediently agreed.

Laxmi felt strange to see that such a caring child had turned into a bracelet, but she didn't say anything.

"Sister, Xiaomi and I have completed this task." Hua Jiuxi said loudly, "So, what are we going to do with this kid next?" ”

"Very well done, it's time to destroy the defense line of Long Ears, which is the spirit net that blocks the monsters from the outside. As I said, the Central District is undefended against humans. All you have to do is sneak into his corner and let the creatures that make the nets lie dormant. Zhu Shi responded.

"The old lady is so easy to speak, how can the central district be so easy to sneak into?" Hua Jiuxi knew that there were nine gates on each side of the central area of Shaoguang City, all of which were guarded by huge statues.

"Also, if any youkai are within the detection range of the spirit net. Won't the blind boy react as soon as he enters? Hua Jiuxi asked rigorously.

"So he's a special case, and you're in for it." Zhu Shi said, "Strictly speaking, the boy is not a monster, but an ancient spirit body directly condensed by the essence of heaven and earth—that is, it was born with the gods. ”

"So powerful?!" Hua Jiuxi was also taken aback.

"There are dozens of gods and demons like this, all of which were subdued by his old man when King Yu controlled the water. The blind boy was never one who harmed anyone, so he was sent to the house of the Queen Mother of the West. Zhu Shi added, "Long ears are now like shrunken turtles, guarding the city. So all you have to do is climb to the top of the triple castle and destroy the creatures, and our soldiers will be able to attack it in no time. ”

Zhu Shi said confidently, and Hua Jiuxi also had a full understanding of her strength, so she didn't ask any more. Zhu Shi still had something to say: "Brother, when you get to the spirit net in the Central District, the demonic power I left on your forehead will disintegrate, and when the time comes, you will move freely, remember to be improvised!" ”

"That's my last word!"

Hua Jiuxi whistled, thinking that no one would finally come up with a word in his brain. It took about three days to march towards the central district with Laxmimi, stop-and-go, and set up camp.

Finally arriving at the huge castle that towered into the sky, Laxmi put his hand on the pergola and looked at it: "It's as tall as the Tower of Babel!" ”

I don't know what material the walls of Shaoguang City are made of, and there are no signs of weathering for thousands of years. It's just that it's covered with a lot of exotic plants, layer after layer, announcing the long history of this place.

"I saw it, and there really wasn't a single guard...... Hua Jiuxi said, "Is it an empty city plan to sing?" ”

"How are we going to get up?" Laxmi asked worriedly.

"Look, are you awake?" Hua Jiuxi asked.

"Did Daddy call me?" A small boy's voice on his right wrist replied, "I listen when you talk to your mother, and I fall asleep if you don't speak." Because he was afraid that Hua Jiuxi and the two of them would have something to order, they only rested by themselves after the two of them fell asleep.

"Look at this high city, can you climb it?" As soon as Hua Jiuxi's words fell, a big snake crawled out of his sleeve. This physique is several times larger than what I have seen before.

"Yes." The serpent nodded.

Laxmi hurriedly said, "This is too risky, isn't it?" ”

"Sister Zhu Shi said that no one is guarding her, I believe her." Hua Jiuxi said to He Qian, but in fact, he did have the idea of "quick victory", and wanted to end all this in advance regardless of it.

"In this way, you take the two of us in your mouth......" Hua Jiuxi suggested.

"But I'm afraid to bite you." The boy replied.

"Open your mouth and let me see." Hua Jiuxi gave an order, and the big snake suddenly opened its huge mouth. Laxmi backs away for a moment, because even though she is her "child", she is worried that the python-like creature will have a strong taste in her mouth.

However it didn't smell and it was clean inside.

"The teeth are dull, there doesn't seem to be anything like saliva, and the tongue doesn't split like a snake - do you eat when you become a snake?" Hua Jiuxi asked while observing.

"It's like this, it's like I'm not hungry......" replied honestly.

"It is worthy of being a sacred object of the ancients, sucking the wind and drinking ......the dew," Hua Jiuxi sighed, then took off a gourd and said to Laxmi: "Xiaomi, I will use this thing to coat a film on the two of us, and then let the two of us take a mouthful." ”

Laxmi rarely objected to Hua Jiuxi's words, because his plans always worked, and this time too. After a while, she was covered with a film like a fetal coat, and Hua Jiuxi sprayed herself with the material of this thing, an amber liquid.

Under the command of Hua Jiuxi, the blind boy swallowed them in one gulp, and then climbed to the top of the lucky Shaoguang City at an extremely high speed.

Because the central city of Shaoguang City is a three-story tabletop building, the area at the top is much narrower. Hua Jiuxi and the two climbed out of Shekou and tore off the film in three or two clicks.

Referring to the map, the creatures that made the spirit nets were distributed in the eight corners of the square city, and they naturally wanted to destroy the one closest to them in the southeast corner.

"It's foggy." Laxmi had planned to take a look around, but found nothing.

"It's the clouds." Hua Jiuxi said, "Because we don't have demonic powers, the enemy can only be observed with the naked eye - so staying in the clouds is a safe choice." ”

"Little flower, in the clouds ahead...... Two humans are coming! Laxmi said suddenly alarmed.

"How can there be—" Hua Jiuxi didn't feel any human breath, but he regretted it a few minutes after saying this—there were really two human breaths moving in his direction, albeit very weakly.

"Laxmimi, how did you do that?" Hua Jiuxi was particularly surprised.

"How, that's it?" Laxmi said, "Use the simple Qi Lookout technique you taught me. ”

"No, you have a stronger inspiration than me this time." Hua Jiuxi remembered what Zhu Shi said before, "It seems that Shaoguangcheng is friendly to witches, and this matter is true." Your spiritual power is gradually being stimulated......"

"Really?" Laxmi smiled, "It looks like you're going to have to rely on me in the future." She quipped.

Hua Jiuxi was actually a little lost in his heart, but immediately returned to normal and said, "In addition to us, there are other humans in this city?" ”

Laxmi looked into the distance and said, "It's none other than my two companions." "The look was extremely serious.

Hua Jiuxi frowned and said, "Those two Germans?" As he spoke, he opened the box of the Buddha of the Thousand Hands, and because he didn't know what the other party would do, he prepared first.

The two exchanged glances with each other: don't hide for the time being, make contact with them.

"Oh my God, Laxmi!" One of the men called out in German.

Hua Jiuxi saw a tall, slightly chubby yellow-haired man and a tall, thin, well-haired man walking over, wearing the kind of clothes that Shaoguangcheng did not look like today.

Laxmi hurried over and spoke to them: "Akkaman, Jaager...... How did you get here? She did have the boss's doubts in her heart.

"Where's Professor Feng?" She asked again, Professor Feng is the leader and leader of the team. He was a profound and kind elder.

The fat man named Akaman looked hesitant and said, "Teach him...... Still locked up by those rabbit people. Because he knows all the secrets about the red clay, and the use value. ”

"And these rabbit people's potions are very powerful, we ate two flavors of truth elixir, and said everything...... Of course, there is no value at all in saying it. The latter, Jaager, continued, "They didn't kill us, of course this is nonsense, but let us be patrols on the top of the city." These elves cherish the lives of their fellow creatures, and leave all the dangerous work to other creatures. ”

"That's right......" Laxmi was skeptical, nodding.

The two asked Laxmi about his experience after escaping, and Laxmi told him about it, and the other party remained suspicious. These people were talking in foreign languages, and Hua Jiuxi couldn't understand a word, so they rubbed the floor and played.

"So you know where that giant creature is that can create a web of sorcery?" Laxmi heard the two mention an important piece of information, "Can you take us there?" ”

Akman and Jaeger looked at each other and seemed to agree. Hua Jiuxi saw that a few people somehow started to walk, and this feeling of being kept in the dark was very unpleasant, so he took Laxmi's hand and asked.

"Little flower, they know the details of those creatures, and they are going to take us there." Laxmi was also a little slack, and unconditionally believed in the two friends who had been separated for a long time.

Hua Jiuxi had no choice but to follow her, but he didn't have the slightest jealousy in his heart - because the dignity of those two men was really not good.

The destination was indeed very close, and Lakshmi's questioning was clearly redundant. Just look at the row of metal fences, with several large chimney-like objects behind them, and if you look closely, you can see that the surface of these things resembles human skin. At the top of them, there are some spindle-shaped pillars of flesh, and at the stigma spews out a luminous substance, and the light emitted by countless pillars of flesh is interwoven into a large net, which is the so-called spiritual net.

Hua Jiuxi was meant to destroy these things, and it would be done by letting the boy bite them - the boy had the ability to put any creature to sleep, and since he wasn't in that space himself, he was destined to have no return.

But there's another person here.

"Lord Basai, we have caught a big fish." The two Germans said something in witch language, and Hua Jiuxi finally understood. However, cold sweat immediately broke out on his face.

"Eight Lent Envoys" is the highest position of the rabbit spirit, the person who is hidden in the clouds, and his status is almost as high as Zhu Shi!

"I was sold so quickly...... Hua Jiuxi couldn't cry or laugh, and immediately swung his fist, hitting the fat man's face in a circle, and punching the thin and tall man on the lower abdomen. Because these two punches carried spiritual power, the opponent immediately fell to the ground.

"Didn't you kill anyone?" The voice of a woman in the clouds was extremely thin.

"After all, it's an acquaintance of this little girl, and I can't fight to death." Hua Jiuxi patted Laxmi on the shoulder.

Laxmi had already understood the danger in front of him, and folded his hands and apologized to Hua Jiuxi again and again: "Little flower...... I'm sorry, but if we had tortured these two unscrupulous guys, the timetable would have been staggered. ”

"Well, this little girl has a point." The man said, "Fifteen minutes in another and I'll be off work." I can only say that your luck is really bad, so you will be captured by me here. As he spoke, he walked out of the mist.
