38. Chapter 38
"Demon Clan...... Demon Clan......" The vine muttered and repeated, the voice vicissitudes and distance. She froze in mid-air, looking like a coiled python, but her half-dead body was still lifeless, shriveled and empty, like a faded snakeskin.
Tang Lin stood still, letting the vine stand there in a trance.
After the vine lost his mind for a while, he finally said to Tang Lin, "Is the demon clan still there?" I thought...... I thought the demon clan was already dead. ”
"The demon clan is indeed dead." Tang Lin didn't raise his eyelids, and said lightly: "Now the living ones are demon pets and pseudo-people, I am a pseudo-person, and there are two demon pets outside who want to wake you up, if you want to see them, you should be able to see them." ”
"Demon ...... Pet? The vine was stunned for a moment, and smiled bitterly: "The word sue me is not what I thought." ”
"On the contrary, it's exactly what you think." Tang Lin replied simply: "Now in the cultivation realm, the demon clan will be hunted down and killed as soon as it appears, the flesh and blood are used for cooking, the muscles and bones are refined, and the demon pill is used for upgrading the elixir...... Or disguise yourself as one! The human race is either attached to the human race to live, and the demon race has no third way to live. ”
"Senior, the demon clan is dead."
Tang Lin's words were calm, but the vines trembled uncontrollably, and large dew drops rolled down from her stems and leaves: "Heh, it's finally ...... Still haven't made it through? ”
"I thought you had a hunch." Tang Lin coldly pointed out: "If the demon clan still exists, it is absolutely impossible to let the Biling Cave Heaven be taken over by the human race for their own use. ”
He paused, and said with some doubts: "However, the pseudo-human group I belong to is hidden in the cultivation realm, and they have always had the qualifications to enter the Biling Cave Heaven, but they have never been able to find their predecessors...... But I don't know why? If he had known that his predecessors were still here, at least Mu Ling would have come to see it. ”
"There were a lot of traitors in the last period of the demon clan." The vine whispered to Tang Lin, she hung down gently, coiled around Tang Lin, and looked more like a giant python: "When Amu and I died, in order to prevent the secret realm from being accused by those traitors, it was set that only the demonic power of the patriarch of the Seven Clans could pass through the core. ”
"There are no patriarchs anymore." Tang Lin said, drawing the appearance of the Beastmaster Ling with spiritual power in the air: "There are only sects...... This is the deputy order of the master of the Tianzi Gate. ”
The head of the vine looked at the token drawn by Tang Lin and nodded, as if looking at the appearance of the order, she thought for a while, sighed and said, "This is the token of the patriarch of the Yu clan." ”
Was it just a makeover? Tang Lin recalled Kong Liu's status in the Imperial Beast Sect, and couldn't help but sigh softly. There is now only one sect left in the former clan, and the former patriarch is now just a small sect master. The demon clan is actually dead a long time ago, and now they are just surviving.
didn't feel long after the vine quickly rolled up a leaf and touched him gently: "Don't talk about this, you can tell me about him, is it okay?" ”
"He? …… Wood Spirit? Tang Lin reacted quickly, and the vine nodded his head: "He is the son of me and Amu, he has a name, we call him Adong." ”
Tang Lin was silent for a while, and decided not to tell the vine that Ah Dong couldn't even remember his name. He flapped his wings and began to tell the vines a story about Adon, and he said it quickly, because he didn't know much about Adon himself. Except for a few short time together, the rest of the stories were known from Huang Leshan, and Huang Leshan was not willing to mention Adong's **, so Tang Lin really didn't have much inventory to tell.
In the end, Tang Lin could only pick up some of the process of getting along with Ah Dong, and he tried his best to make those dry stories full, but there was too little material, and there was still nothing to say after a long time.
He looked at the vine embarrassedly, not knowing whether to admit that the inventory in his stomach had been exhausted, but the vine unfolded its leaves like a sigh of relief, and said to Tang Lin happily: "It's good that he is still alive, I thought he was dead a long time ago, and I didn't dare to believe it when I saw the bubble, but it turned out to be true." ”
"He's alive." The vine sighed contentedly, his words were full of joy, but he heard Tang Lin's sadness for a moment.
"Daddy and I are sorry for him, I couldn't protect him at that time......" The vine shook the leaves, and from the tightly wrapped leaf, a smooth green crystal was shaken, the crystal was completely clear and translucent, and there was no spiritual power lingering on it, but when the crystal just appeared, the surrounding wood qi suddenly became stronger. The vine held the green crystal on the leaf and handed it to Tang Lin:
"Please also give this wood spirit heart to Huang Leshan for me...... It is said that the grace of saving the son cannot be repaid, and Qingling and Bimu will pray for him all the time, even if the soul is completely dispersed, it will not stop. ”
As soon as Tang Lin heard Mu Lingxin, he remembered what Ah Dong had said at that time. He took the wood spirit heart, and after hesitating for a moment, he still said to the vine: "Ah Dong told me at the beginning that if there is a wood spirit heart, he should be able to get out of the trees and move independently. ”
The green leaves on the vines trembled when they heard this, but soon said: "Ah Dong is already a lucky thing to survive, I have nothing to repay Huang Leshan now, you better give him the wood spirit heart for me." Maybe in a while, Ah Dong will be able to come out of the tree after accumulating enough demonic power? ”
In fact, even the vines themselves didn't believe in this, Tang Lin glanced at the vines, but knew that with Huang Leshan's temperament, he would not covet this thing, so he said softly: "Elder Huang will cure Ah Dong." Then he put away the wood spirit heart, and the vine watched him accept the wood spirit heart, and finally seemed to breathe a sigh of relief.
She turned around and patted the withered giant tree beside her with green leaves: "Amu and I have been waiting for many, many years, and Amu has waited until his soul has dissipated, and he has not waited for a demon to come." I thought I wouldn't be able to wait, but alas, I've got you now. ”
As he spoke, the vine suddenly writhed its branches and leaves around the giant tree and pulled him hard!
The long-dead giant tree rattled, and fine cracks appeared on the trunk, and half of the dead body of the vine was broken by this struggle. Tang Lin was taken aback, and said urgently: "Senior, what are you going to do!" ”
The vine was silent, only tightened its body tighter, and desperately wrapped itself around the giant tree and pulled it down, and the giant tree was gradually pulled open by the vines in the miserable sound of Galala, and then with a loud noise, the giant tree was broken in two, and the white stubble was exposed, like Sen Sen's bones.
The vines fell to the ground with a "snap", she barely moved her body, knowing that she was going to die, she said to Tang Lin in a trembling voice: "You go up...... Topmost...... There is a jade box on it. You remember to bring the jade box to the Demon Emperor, you can take everything else, only that jade box ......"
Before she could finish her words, the whole vine was already frozen on the ground, and as soon as the wind blew, the original verdant vine immediately withered and withered, and in the blink of an eye it had turned into an empty withered vine. Tang Lin was stunned, then turned into a human form, and bowed three times to the vines and giant trees with a solemn expression.
Then he turned into a giant bird again, spreading his wings and flying towards the broken part of the giant tree.
*
When Tang Lin opened his eyes, he saw a room full of ice and snow.
The ice wall in front of him was crystal clear, the sunlight shone in from behind, and the brilliance in his eyes was so bright that Tang Lin was in a trance for a while. He moved his body and found that he was being held in his arms, this embrace carried a familiar coldness, Tang Lin didn't need to think about it to know that the person holding him must be Xiao Zibai.
It's just that how could Xiao Zibai suddenly lose control of his spiritual power again? Tang Lin remembered that he was in a treehouse when he passed out.
He thought about what happened to Xiao Zibai suspiciously, and when he raised his eyes, he saw the blood all over the ground behind Xiao Zibai, and the big bird with gorgeous feathers lying in the pool of blood. The big bird's neck was unnaturally crooked, and it was wrapped with several layers of blood-soaked fabric, the texture was torn from Xiao Zibai's clothes, and the blood pool was also sprinkled with feathers all over the ground, and the feathers were also stained with some half-coagulated blood, and the room looked like a murder scene.
Tang Lin looked left and right, and unsurprisingly found that the fox had disappeared. recalled Xiao Zibai's previous grief and anger, and then looked at the "corpse" of the "dumpling" next to him, and what had happened seemed to be very obvious.
…… This kind of feeling of finding that your character was killed when you got off the line......
Tang Lin patted Xiao Zibai's shoulder with a complicated expression, and then slapped off the ice ballast in his hand. He was speechless for a moment, reached out and hugged the other party's back, and the blazing white fire spread out from his body, warmly melting the ice and snow on Xiao Zibai's body. Xiao Zibai probably felt the person in his arms move, his eyelashes full of frost flowers trembled, and then he opened his eyes and held Tang Lin's shoulder.
"Are you awake? I...... I didn't know you were going to faint......" Xiao Zibai's voice sounded a little hoarse, and his hand on Tang Lin's shoulder was extremely forceful, making Tang Lin frown a little. Tang Lin patiently patted Xiao Zibai's back soothingly, but this appeasement did not play a role, Xiao Zibai's expression looked extremely sad, and there was a trilling voice in every word: "It's okay if you're okay...... It's just a dumpling...... Something happened to the dango......"
Xiao Zibai was at a loss to organize his language, and he tried his best to avoid associating "danzi" with "death".
"Do you have any medicine? The kind that can be used for soul pets? I arrived at the ...... But I didn't have time......" Xiao Zibai stiffened his neck and didn't look at the back, Tang Lin was hugged tightly by him. It seemed that he was hugging Tang Lin, but half of his weight was on Tang Lin's body, and Tang Lin knew that this fool probably thought he was dead.
Tang Lin pursed his lips, tentatively trying to immerse his consciousness in the body of the big bird, but as soon as the tentacles of the divine thought touched the feathers of the big bird, the body turned back into wood with a "pop", no matter how hard Tang Lin tried, he couldn't change back into the appearance of the big bird.
This point! The body looks like a pill.
"Don't worry, I'm not dead. Look, I'm not still here. Tang Lin said as briskly as he could, gently shaking Xiao Zibai's shoulder. Xiao Zibai smiled reluctantly, and as soon as he hooked his lips, he remembered that Tang Lin, who was holding him, couldn't see his expression, and the corners of his lips suddenly drooped again, he hugged Tang Lin, and said softly: "Yes, you are still there." ”
The meaning of happiness in this sentence was too strong, Tang Lin knew that Xiao Zibai didn't take what he said seriously, he smacked his mouth, pushed him away from his side against Xiao Zibai's chest, stared into his eyes and said to him, "Have you forgotten something?" ”
Xiao Zibai responded to him with a blank face.
Tang Lin sighed quietly and secretly cursed that this fool was hopeless. He thought about it, simply broke the jar and cut his fingers, pressed them against Xiao Zibai's eyebrows, and then pasted his thoughts on Xiao Zibai's spirit, and said in a complicated tone: "I have hinted at you more than once." ”
Xiao Zibai blinked suspiciously: Why did he suddenly feel the ball again? Dango is not ...... Already dead?
He closed his eyes and sensed the position of the group, but when he opened his eyes, it was Tang Lin who was in the position. Xiao Zibai's brain suddenly became a piece of mush, he stood up in confusion, pedaled a few steps away, desperately opened and closed his eyes, how to sense the result was the same. Tang Lin raised his eyebrows at him with a smile, and whispered in his heart: "I told you, what Tuanzi knows, I know." ”
Tang Lin stood up lazily, dusted off the ice chips on his sleeves, and paced towards Xiao Zibai leisurely step by step. Xiao Zibai subconsciously retreated, and before he took a few steps back, he felt a chill in his heart, but his back was already pasted with an ice wall.
And Tang Lin got closer and closer.
Xiao Zibai quietly glanced at the left, this action was noticed by Tang Lin, he stretched out his hand lightly, and pressed the ice wall on Xiao Zibai's left with a "snap".
"How do you face reality?" Tang Lin straightened Xiao Zibai's head with his other hand, so that his gaze was opposite to himself: "I am Tuanzi, Tuanzi is me, it has always been me, and there has never been anyone else." ”
His exhaled breath warmly brushed Xiao Zibai's hair, Xiao Zibai didn't blush for the first time because he was too close to Tang Lin, and his heart was filled with this shocking fact. Looking at Tang Lin's eyes in a daze, Xiao Zibai's Adam's apple moved, and he asked with difficulty, "What do you mean...... From the very beginning, the dango who met me ......"
"That's me." Tang Lin nodded elegantly.
He let go of his hand, let go of Xiao Zibai, and nodded at the wooden bird in the pool of blood from a distance: "Oh, that's the dumpling you thought something was wrong." ”
Xiao Zibai looked at Tang Lin's fingers, and was stunned to find that the peacock-sized ball had turned into a small wooden bird, and immediately rubbed his eyes in disbelief, Tang Lin held his forehead, and said to him helplessly: "You might as well get closer and take a look, maybe my practical illusion is magic?" ”
As soon as the words fell, Xiao Zibai actually came closer to take a look, and threw several illusory magic decisions on the wooden bird's body. Tang Lin couldn't bear to flick his sleeves, glanced at Xiao Zibai and began to say: "When you were eight and a half years old, you were blocked in a cave and beaten, and when you took me back to the village, all the people in the village went to the sky, and the roast rabbit you made was all mushy on the outside and undercooked on the inside...... I don't like to eat steamed buns, I think the roast rabbit I make is the best in the world, I love sour fruits and hate sweet fruits......"
When he said this, he slanted Xiao Zibai across his eyes: "You also said that giving me sweet fruits is all for my good, thinking that I don't know that you like to eat sour?" ”
Xiao Zibai's ears turned red, he snorted twice, and said in the future: "So you know." ”
"Nonsense! When you eat noodles, you add half a bottle of vinegar! Tang Lin stretched out his hand and gave Xiao Zibai a burst.
Xiao Zibai lowered his eyes and rubbed for a while, then suddenly rushed over and hugged Tang Lin tightly.
"That's good." He said to Tang Lin in a low voice, and there was still some hoarseness in his voice that had not faded: "...... That's nice. ”
It's good that you're not dead.
It's always been you...... That's nice.
Tang Lin was stunned, then bent his eyes and stretched out his hand to hug him. Gently patting Xiao Zibai's back, Tang Lin replied with a smile: "Yes, it's good." ”
It's nice that I met you.
It's always been me, it's good.
