13. Old hatred
The palace is located in Yanggu City, two or three miles outside the city, He Zichen came out of a barren grass vine, brushed off the blades of grass on his body, looked up at the sun, and walked towards the west.
In the barren grass just now, there was an abandoned teleportation array, which was a formation set up by a few teenagers in the early years of the Star Picking Tower to secretly go out of the city to play.
It's just that the playful boy at the beginning has long since turned into loess and white bones, and this formation has been abandoned, and now it happens to come in handy for He Zichen.
According to Asher's account, the Sunshade Forest is not far from here, and it takes less than a cup of tea to the west.
The trees in the sun-shading forest are towering, almost dense and impermeable, and they are called "sun-shaking", and not long after He Zichen left, a huge forest in front of him was reckless, dark green and gray.
However, this sun-covering forest is so big, and the light is extremely dim, I'm afraid that the two of them can't see each other for a short distance, where is he going to find Sheng Ling? He didn't want to shout as he walked like a fool.
He Zichen held his chin and thought about it, but he didn't know what idea he came up with, and his eyes lit up. He dug into a bag he was carrying, took out a piece of paper, and the corners of his lips were raised a little proudly, and he said that it was good that he liked to make these gadgets, and it seemed that it was not useless.
I saw his fingers flying, quickly folded the white paper in his hand into a delicate paper crane, he unfolded his palm, the paper crane trembled and fluttered its wings to fly, the folded wings of the paper were a little stiff and fanned, and it really flew up from his fingertips in a few clicks, like a fledgling learning to fly, his posture was still a little unstable, hanging crookedly in the air, and he tried to adjust his posture.
After a while, the little paper crane finally adapted to his "body", and flew around He Zichen flexibly several times, and finally stopped in front of him like a well-behaved child, flapping its wings up and down.
He Zichen stretched out his finger and tapped its mouth, and said with a smile: "Little paper crane, take me to find Shengling." ”
As if he understood his words, the paper crane nodded forward slightly, circled in place, and finally flew in one direction, turning into a small white dot.
"Hey, don't fly so fast!"
He Zichen shouted, and hurriedly chased the paper crane and burrowed into the sun-sheltering forest.
He Zichen was worried along the way, not only worried about what happened to Sheng Ling, but also secretly imagined that if Sheng Ling really encountered danger, the scene of him falling from the sky to "save the beauty" felt a little enjoyable - obviously, he completely forgot that his little ability was probably not enough to be a hero, and he could not "fall from the sky".
Paper cranes flew in the dark forest, and He Zichen chased the white and small figure all the way, and finally found Sheng Ling when he was tired and out of breath.
Unlike He Zichen's imagination, there was no scene of fierce fighting between humans and monsters, and Sheng Ling was holding the Moonstone Staff in his hand to complete the broken formation.
The little white crane flew above Sheng Ling, swayed and stopped on his shoulder, and the little body was crooked, and it turned back into an unconscious paper crane.
Sheng Ling put away the paper crane on his shoulder, and raised his eyes to look at He Zichen, who was holding the trunk of the tree and panting, with some indescribable love in his eyes.
"You are really ......" Sheng Ling walked over, took out a white handkerchief from his sleeve, wiped his sweat with gentle movements, and sighed lightly, "You are stubborn, you really haven't changed at all." ”
He Zichen finally calmed down, Chao Sheng Ling raised his eyebrows, couldn't help laughing, and asked rather susceptibly, "What's the matter, it's distressing?" ”
Sheng Ling was silent, his expression seemed to be acquiescing.
He Zichen was a little uncomfortable.
"But I'm tired to death, since you know I'm stubborn, you should have brought me with you!" He fanned the wind with his hand, looked around, and asked, "Why, what about that monster?" Why is there no movement? ”
"I don't know, when I came, the Sunshade Forest was so calm, and I didn't find the Nine Infants."
Sheng Ling casually picked a broad leaf, and with a turn of his hand, the leaf turned into a green fan.
He fanned He Zichen and said, "I guess, it may be injured and resting, after all, the trapped beast array is not so easy to break free. The formation is completed first, and then if there is a vicious fight, the beast cannot go out lightly to harm the people. ”
"Well, you're very thoughtful."
He Zichen nodded and replied casually.
The corner of his eyes quietly glanced at the way Sheng Ling fanned him, and the wind from the fan transformed by the leaves was like green, blowing all the way to his heart, and every inch of spring grass was growing.
He thought, why is Sheng Ling so good to him?
It's so good that it's meticulous and proper, and it's so gentle that it's solemn.
"Bang!"
Suddenly, a loud noise destroyed the quiet atmosphere, and there were violent vibrations on the ground one after another, and He Zichen hurriedly hugged the tree trunk beside him to avoid the fate of being shocked and falling.
The two looked at each other, and both saw the same thought in each other's eyes: It's finally here.
The shaking became more and more violent, and it seemed that the nine babies were getting closer and closer to this side, but in a few breaths, there was a violent impact sound in that direction, and the towering trees were broken one by one, making a deafening sound of falling to the ground.
Sunlight finally shone through the gap that had just formed above the Sunshade Forest, and the rumored beast, the Nine Infants, appeared in the gap.
The nine babies were huge, about three feet tall, and gave birth to several giant snake-like necks, each of which had a hideous head, some of them were blue, some were red, and they were strangely beautiful mixed with different colors.
"Hey, why are there only six heads?" He Zichen was puzzled, "Isn't it called 'Nine Infants'?" There should be nine heads. ”
"Be careful!"
The nine babies rushed towards this side, and Sheng Ling didn't have time to talk, so he pushed He Zichen back.
Sheng Ling held the law enforcement staff in one hand, pinched the trick flexibly in the other, and read something silently with both lips, a gust of wind rolled up for no reason, swirling from the ground and blowing into the sky, countless fallen leaves rattling in the wind.
He Zichen was pushed and knocked into a big tree, he rubbed his back painfully, raised his eyes to look at Sheng Ling at this time, the movements in his hands paused, and his face was blank for a while.
Sheng Ling stood in the wind, his white robe and silver hair suddenly floating, and he had a cold and fierce aura.
The sky above the gap in the Sunshade Forest was covered with dark clouds at some point, and the thick clouds rolled like muddy ink, and lightning flashed in the wind and clouds, like angry silver snakes.
With a wave of Sheng Ling's arm, the thunder and lightning that were ready to be sent out in the clouds suddenly rushed down, one after another, forming a powerful power grid, striking Jiu Ying with a majestic momentum.
Rao is nine babies are rough and thick-skinned, invulnerable, and can't withstand the power of this thunderbolt, and the surface of the body is scorched and blackened by lightning, which makes people feel pain when they look at it.
Jiu Ying let out a few low howls in pain, increased his speed, and struggled to break out of the net woven by thunder and lightning, completely ignoring the Saint Ling on the side, and rushed towards the outside of the Sun-Covering Forest-
Of course, it didn't work out.
After all, Fang Cai Sheng Ling had just repaired the formation, and Jiu Ying rushed over with all his strength, but was blocked by the barrier that suddenly lit up with golden light and rebounded a few feet away, Jiu Ying turned over on the ground, knocked down several big trees again, got up and continued to crash towards Fang Cai's place, and then was bounced back again.
Every time he tried to break through the formation, the injuries on Jiuying's body were even more serious, but it was persistently and relentlessly rushing over again and again, and He Zichen felt distressed when he saw him without regrets.
He Zichen looked at it with a sigh, and walked to the side of Sheng Ling, who was also puzzled, and made a guess: "Hey, Sheng Ling, do you say it's ...... Tired of being crooked? ”
He was originally joking when he said this, but he didn't expect Sheng Ling to look at it twice, and nodded seriously, "It's possible." ”
He Zichen: "Oh? ”
"It's like...... I really want to go out, even if it's desperate. Saint Ling muttered thoughtfully, "There are generally only two reasons for this, one is that there is something outside that strongly attracts it, and the other is that there is something in this sun-covering forest that makes it afraid. ”
"Speaking of which, what is so attractive that it will not risk its life? I don't think it's likely, mostly the second reason. As soon as Sheng Ling said this, He Zichen also analyzed, "But...... What could make an ancient beast like Jiuying afraid to be like this? ”
When he said this, he suddenly stopped, and glanced at Sheng Ling, and the expressions of the two were the same solemn.
If there is anything that makes the Nine Babies feel scared and desperately avoid it, then how much of a threat will this thing pose to the living country, and how should they deal with it at that time?
Sheng Ling sighed, his fingers became a trick, and the electric light struck towards Jiuying again, "Solve the trouble in front of you first." ”
The sunshade forest is dense and opaque, and the ink clouds are pressing, and after isolating the daylight to 30,000 miles, the entire sunshade forest is gloomy, only the electric light flashes wildly, and the white clothes float.
At this moment, Sheng Ling is like a ghost and a fairy.
"Makes sense!"
He Zichen answered, took off the bow and arrow from his back, and pulled the string with arrows, one, two, and three......
His eyebrows were focused, and the three arrows were aimed at the three heads of the Nine Infants, and every subtle movement seemed to be repeated, overlapping with another young man named He Zichen in a certain time and space. Three arrows fired at once, retrograde through the torrent of time, pierced the barrier of memory, and shot away with the sound of the wind-
Poor Jiu Ying just hit his head and broke the blood flow, and just got up, a burst of lightning hit his head and face, blowing it apart, and that's it, but before it woke up from the daze of being struck by lightning, a certain hateful human shot three sharp arrows at it, and coincidentally shot its three eyeballs respectively.
It only has twelve eyes now, and three more have been injured!
His heart can be punished!
If the beast is not powerful, it will be treated as a lost dog?
Rao is Jiuying is mind is stumbling with the trapped beast array, and he has to be distracted at this time. The three injured red heads cried out in low pain, and the other three turned their heads to see who dared to hurt them.
It's okay not to look at it, this time, when the eight eyes are facing each other, the past and the present coincide in an instant, lightning and thunder in an instant, all new and old hatreds surged up together, and the three Xuanqing's heads let out an angry roar together!
