Chapter 42: The Sacrifice

Outside another room in the courtyard, Han Yunfei quietly poked his head out of a corner not far away, but when he saw Ding Heng guarding the door, he snorted coldly and turned to leave.

After he left, Ding Heng glanced in his direction, with a mocking expression, in fact, Han Yunfei had already discovered the other party when he came over.

"How can the children of the master family have such a person?" Ding Heng said to himself, what Han Yunfei was thinking, he could see it at a glance, but he didn't expect this person to be so bold.

Fortunately, he was not at ease in his heart, and he kept guarding outside the door of Enron and them.

......

In the room, An Ran had already woken up, leaning on the head of the bed, his eyes were dull and empty.

Han Ruojun sighed, turned to the table, and made a pot of tea.

An Ran looked at Han Ruojun's back, and seemed to have returned to the old days, when she was sick and lying on the bed, the senior brother also took care of her like this.

"Big brother!"

An Ran's tears poured up uncontrollably in his eyes, but Bei Yan bit his lower lip tightly, as if suppressing the pain in his heart, and the tears only swirled in his eyes and never flowed out.

"Little junior sister. “

Han Ruojun came over with a tea tray, and when he saw An Ran's expression, he was worried.

An Ran closed his eyes, forcibly suppressed the grief in his heart, and tears disappeared in his eyes.

"Senior Sister Han, is there any news of Senior Brother?" An Ran asked in a low voice.

Han Ruojun shook his head lightly and said, "Little junior sister, don't worry, the great elder has recently sent people to inquire everywhere, senior brother Taji has his own natural appearance, and there should be news in a few days." ”

When An Ran heard this, tears could no longer be held back and flowed down from his eyes.

Han Ruojun sighed lightly, silently reached out to help her wipe away her tears, and knew in her heart that Bai Nan should be more than lucky this time.

"Senior Sister Han, do you know?" An Ran said with tears in her eyes.

"What?"

"I know that Elder Qin of the Jade Maiden Valley was capable of saving Senior Brother at that time, but she didn't make a move, and I also know why she didn't make a move. An Ran whispered.

Han Ruojun was stunned in his heart, but he didn't expect An Ran to think of this as well.

She was a little worried, because when she was on the boat, An Ran had already told her that she had obtained a direct invitation to the Jade Girl Valley, and if she was upset because of this, wouldn't it be a waste of a great opportunity.

An Ran smiled miserably, "But I don't blame her, we have different positions and different decisions, all of which is blamed on me for being too incompetent, if I have the strength, where do I need help from others." ”

Han Ruojun stared at An Ran, seeing that the other party's expression was gradually serious, he had some admiration in his heart, An Ran was usually soft and weak, but he also had such a side.

"I still had some doubts before, but now I want to accept the direct invitation from the Jade Maiden Valley, I want to become strong and never want this situation to happen again. An Ran said solemnly.

Han Ruojun put down the tea tray, hugged her gently, patted her on the shoulder, and said in a low voice: "This road will be difficult to walk, have you really thought about it?"

"I've thought about it. An Ran said.

In a room not far away, Elder Gu Qin, a jade girl who was meditating with his eyes closed, suddenly opened his eyes, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

Everything that happened in An Ran's room just now was within her perception, and the direction of the development of things really made her very satisfied.

She doesn't care if Enron will complain about her, as long as she takes this good seedling into the door, it is enough.

......

Zhang's family.

After a night of cultivation, Bai Nan's spiritual power has increased a lot, and most importantly, most of the physical pain has been healed, and the pain in his body has also been reduced a lot.

He stepped out of bed and opened the door, where the morning sun poured in, and a warm breeze with the smell of the sea blew in through the walls.

At this moment, Bai Nan had the feeling of truly escaping death.

With a squeak, the door of the main hall on the left side opened, and Zhang Ling walked out with sleepy eyes and stretched his waist.

When he saw Bai Nan standing at the door, his face was overjoyed, and he said, "Brother Bai, can you get out of bed?"

Bai Nan smiled and nodded.

"Big Brother Bai, I didn't expect you to recover so quickly, then your cultivation must be very strong, my father said that the higher the cultivation, the stronger the physical fitness, this is the envy of you geniuses. Zhang Ling said enviously.

Zhang Ling is three years younger than Bai Nan, fifteen years old, and has three levels of qi refining, if you really want to calculate it, it is much better than Bai Nan's talent.

"You're still young, don't worry. Bai Nan smiled and patted him on the shoulder.

"With his character of fishing for three days and drying nets for two days, it is already gratifying to be able to cultivate to the third level of qi refining. ”

A pretty woman walked outside the door, with a long ponytail tied behind her head and hanging low to her waist, it was Zhang Muge, who had a relationship yesterday.

"Miss Zhang. Bai Nan saluted.

"Don't call me Miss Zhang, I'm not used to hearing this, just call me by my name. Zhang Muge waved his hand.

"Then call you Miss Madrigal. Bai Nan smiled.

"Forget it, whatever you want, you people from the Kyushu Continent are like this, you are so old-fashioned when you are young, it's really boring. Zhang Muge said.

"Sister, what are you doing here, are you also here to listen to Brother Bai's story? Let me tell you, Brother Bai told a lot of powerful characters yesterday. Zhang Ling had an intoxicated expression on his face, as if he was still recalling the stories of those heroes.

"I came to look for you, have you forgotten what day it is?" Zhang Muge glared, and said angrily.

Zhang Ling touched his head and said curiously, "What day?"

Zhang Muge stretched out his hand and patted him on the head, and said, "Stupid! Today is the day of the sacrifice, you can forget such an important matter, fortunately, my father asked me to call you." ”

Zhang Ling covered his head aggrievedly, pouted and said, "Sister, I'm stupid to you, right?"

"I'm educating you, or you'll be even more stupid. Zhang Muge raised his hand and wanted to hit again, but after thinking about it, he let it go.

Bai Nan stood aside, watching the sister and brother bickering, and felt very interesting in his heart.

Zhang Muge looks like an adult, but in fact, he is two years older than Zhang Ling, and now he is only seventeen years old, one year younger than Bai Nan.

"What is this sacrifice for?" Bai Nan asked curiously.

"You don't know?" Zhang Muge's eyes widened, and then he said with a look of sudden realization: "That's right, you're not from the island, it's normal not to know." This ritual is a quarterly event that prays to the god of the tree to protect the peace of our Isle of Ashes. ”

"Tree God?" Bai Nan was a little surprised, he didn't expect that in this world of martial artists, there would still be people who would believe this.

"Yes, Dryad. Ash Island is a volcanic island, you should know it, right?"

Bai Nan nodded, which is also the origin of the name of Ash Island, which is said to be shrouded in ash all year round when volcanoes often erupt.

Zhang Muge said: "The volcano on Ash Island has stopped erupting because of the existence of tree gods, and when you go to the island, you should see the building at the top of the hillside, which is the place of worship." ”

After speaking, she seemed to think of something, and her expression was a little depressed.

"What's wrong?" asked Bai Nan.

Zhang Ling opened his mouth at this time: "The Tree God has existed for too long, the volcano on Ash Island has not erupted for a long time, which makes everyone forget the role of the Tree God, plus there are more and more outsiders, and now few people believe in the Tree God." “

"What's even more hateful is that now someone wants to cut down the tree god. Zhang Muge gritted his silver teeth and said fiercely.

"Cut it? why?" Bai Nan was a little surprised, this tree god seemed to have existed for a long time, even if people no longer believed in it, it wouldn't be cut down.

"I heard that it is for the mining of spiritual ore. Zhang Ling said silently.

"Spirit Mine?" Bai Nan was stunned and asked, "Who wants to mine Spirit Mine?"

Zhang Muge said coldly: "Who else, the people of Qingyunmen." ”
