Chapter 16: The Glen
"When I traveled in Qiaozhou a few years ago, I strayed into a mountain stream and walked out in a daze, and this pendant changed. After that, I began to vaguely feel that it seemed to be a long knife, but I couldn't get it to appear from the pendant until the other day. ”
In the empty and dim underground cave, Xiao Luo leaned on the rock wall, pulled his pendant out of his neckline, pinched it on his fingertips and explained softly.
He woke up from a coma for most of the day, felt a little better and began to meditate to heal his wounds.
This underground cave, when Xue Yun was asleep, he had already taken a rough look at it behind her back, although the environment was a little poor, and I don't know if it was because it was underground because it couldn't be transmitted to the outside, but fortunately, there were no monsters and no organs, and it was safe.
Although Xue Yuan fell asleep for two days, it was not harmful but very rewarding, but Xiao Luo was really under the double blow of the giant python's attack and forcibly invoking the power of the long knife to counterattack, and suffered a lot of internal injuries.
Although he had been smiling a little carelessly, his face was always pale, and his forehead was covered with fine beads of sweat after each meditation and pranayama. Xue Yun stayed by Xiao Luo's side, except for taking a handkerchief to help him wipe the cold sweat from his forehead, and contributing his shoulders to let him rest when he was out of strength, but he couldn't help anything.
Xue Yun felt that if the golden light that looked very beneficial before hadn't been blocked by her and entered Xiao Luo's place, maybe it would ...... His injuries had been repaired by now. After Xiao Luo found out about her idea, he teased her for a while, at that time, Xiao Luo's viscera meridians were injured differently from Xue Yuan, who was just running out of spiritual power, and a large amount of special spiritual power impact into the body was not necessarily a good thing for Xiao Luo, who was already fragile at that time, if he couldn't bear it, he might really end up like the giant python before.
Although Xiao Luo made a lot of sense, Xue Yun still couldn't help but think about it.
So, Xiao Luo mentioned another thing when he was recuperating after another breathing and recuperation.
Xue Yun really changed his mind, took a handkerchief and sat next to Xiao Luo, looking at the pendant that was not quite the same as what he remembered:
"Will it ...... What does it have to do with your background?"
Xiao Luo, which was picked up by his master Xiao Ding when he was traveling, was still in his infancy and watched his birth not long ago, and there was already a pendant with a strange material by his side. After Xiao Ding adopted Xiao Luo, he also wanted to explore his life experience, but there was no clue except for the strange pendant, and he didn't mention it anymore after many years, but this pendant has been worn by Xiao Luo around his neck, and for many years, no matter where he goes, he never leaves his body.
"Maybe. Xiao Luo played with the pendant in his hand, but the appearance of the long knife when he fought against the giant python at the critical moment before couldn't be made of anything, so he had to hang it back on his neck after a while, stuffed it into the collar and put it away: "Although I feel that it does recognize me as the master, it can't really use it according to my heart...... Naturally, maybe it's because my cultivation is too low to hold up. ”
Or perhaps......
He had the feeling that the knife was incomplete.
Xue Yun heard Xiao Luo say that his cultivation was too low to use the long knife, and remembered his injuries that had been improving very slowly in the past few days, so he nodded very seriously: "I think it's too......!" This knife looks very unusual, I don't know what kind of rare magic weapon it is, I'm afraid there will be no restrictions on its use? I think that when I fought against the giant python before, if it wasn't for the fact that you, the master, encountered a life-and-death crisis, it might not have appeared for you to use. Just in the end...... That's why I was injured after using it......"
Xiao Luo looked at Xue Yuan, who was frowning tightly as she spoke, and looked at her worriedly, hooked the corners of her mouth and smiled, raised her hand to rub her hair: "Don't worry, I know the measure, before I can really control it, if I don't have to use it, I won't be strong." But then again...... You've seen it, but even if my master wants to use it, he won't let me use it!"
Xue Yun slapped away Xiao Luo's palm that rubbed her hair into a mess again, but he didn't make much effort to remember that someone was still injured, and then he glanced at him, and asked instead: "In addition to knowing that it is a knife and already recognizing you as the master...... Any other clues, such as...... Does this knife have a name?What is the origin?Look, it's not an ordinary magic weapon......
Xiao Luo pressed the pendant under the fabric on his chest with his hand, and slowly shook his head: "...... There was no one around, and I didn't even know the name of the sword. But...... I have a hunch that I will know later. ”
......
Xiao Luo had not been recuperating in the underground cave for a long time, and after using his spiritual power, he was no longer sluggish and painful, and he was ready to leave with Xue Yuan.
Although the injury is only half healed, this is not a suitable place to stay for a long time. Counting the time Xue Yun was asleep, it had been about five days, and he hastily crushed the jade talisman that connected with Su Run before falling into the ground, and he should be nearby.
Xue Yun was not injured, and seemed to have gained a lot of benefits from the unknown golden light, although he wanted Xiao Luo to recuperate from his injuries before leaving, he also knew that the dark and damp underground cave was not a good place to recuperate, and after all, there was nothing to eat here, and it was not good to rely on Bigu Dan alone.
So, when the two decided to set off to try to walk the cave tunnel that had not been explored before to find an exit, Xue Yuan insisted on walking in front to explore the path in case of danger.
It's rare that Xiao Luo didn't beat her.
Holding the pearl that emitted a soft light, he walked behind Xue Yuan, watching her look of cautiously observing around with 120,000 spirits, although she was also a little distracted to observe the surroundings just in case, Xiao Luo still couldn't help but smile on her face.
"You said that you entrusted me with this wounded man!"
Thinking of Xue Yuan, who pressed his shoulder at that time and looked at him with burning eyes, he looked solemn and firm at that time, and he ...... Can't hold back the corners of his mouth.
It is......
I pretended to have no strength on my body before, and it seemed a bit too much to let people wipe sweat and feed water......
Thinking of Xue Yuan's serious face when he was half-squatting in front of him before, he turned around and told him that he was thinking about carrying him away......
Xiao Luo pursed his lips, his face a little dark.
Naturally, in the already dim underground cave, Xiao Luo, who was choked up for a long time to explain that he already had the strength to act, did not see clearly, and after Xue Yuan, who was facing away from him, turned his head, his eyes were bright and he bit his lip and smiled.
......
The area of this underground cave is large, and the two of them walked and stopped along the underground river, and they did not encounter any danger along the way.
It's just that in the empty and gloomy environment, there are only the two of them, and even the sound of breathing seems to be echoing in the huge cave that doesn't know where to go, and the light source is only the night pearl in their hands.
I don't know when Xiao Luo went from walking behind her obediently to walking beside her.
I don't know when he grabbed her slightly cool palm, held it firmly in the palm of his hand, and never let go.
As a result, the rest of the road gradually became less panicked.
When Xiao Luo and Xue Yun walked out of the underground cave and saw the sun again, it was three days later.
Outside the cave is the entrance to a deep mountain valley.
From the entrance, deep in the valley is a lush bamboo forest, with a breeze blowing and green shadows swaying. From beneath their feet, the flourishing rhododendrons spread all the way beyond the bamboo grove deep in the valley, reflecting a large area of red glow.
At that time, a beautiful scenery that made people unconsciously indulge, quiet but splendid, peaceful but warm.
In the deep forest, in the mountains and wilderness, there is such a place.
Maybe it was also because he stayed in the dark underground cave for a long time and it was easy to come out, and when he suddenly saw the beauty of this valley, Xue Yuan's heart was extremely open and happy.
But Xiao Luo, who was standing beside Xue Yuan, although she didn't let go of her hand, when she saw the scenery of this valley, her eyes drifted away and she was a little dazed.
Xiao Luo...... Xiao Luo?"
Xue Yun came back to his senses in Xue Yuan's somewhat worried call and looked at her: "Want to go in?"
Xue Yun frowned slightly: "...... I just looked around, and there seemed to be something different from the one under our feet and the one in the valley. ”
"Oh?" Xiao Luo raised his eyebrows, followed Xue Yuan's meaning and carefully observed, and sure enough, he found a difference that was not obvious at all.
The vegetation in the valley, from the bamboo groves in the distance to the vast expanses of rhododendrons, to the most inconspicuous grasses, grew better and more luxuriantly than those outside, and there was no trace of wild beasts, insects, and snakes. When I carefully investigated the feelings, I could also detect that there was a faint layer of spiritual power lingering on the grass and trees in the valley, but it was just ...... It seems to be draining, and it will be exhausted in a few days.
Moreover, this spiritual power has some peculiarities, and it is somewhat indescribable and mysterious from the spiritual power of heaven and earth that their cultivators are most familiar with.
But it was the same as the ones that had accidentally submerged into Xue Yuan's body before.
The most important thing is that this difference is so obvious that it just so happens that right at the feet of the two of them, from the entrance into the valley, an extremely clear dividing line is drawn.
“...... I didn't feel any danger, and I was vaguely kind, I'm afraid that this is where the spiritual power of the golden light comes from. Xue Yun frowned and thought of the painful python he had encountered earlier, and bit his lip: "Shall we take a look again?"
Xiao Luo squinted slightly at the sea of flowers and bamboo forests in the valley in front of him, his eyes fell on the place where the bamboo shadows were densely covered in the depths of the bamboo forest, and after being silent for a long time, he slowly raised his hand and pressed the cloth on his chest, and jumped up the warm pendant: "...... There's ...... What's ...... ...... with me Knife-related ......"
