10. The Secret Land of Mural Paintings (Part II)
Tao Xiaoyao only felt that she was washed into it by a mysterious force, and when she stopped stumbling forward, she found that she was still in the room just now, and the strange mural was still hanging in front of her. She blinked, what just happened?
Although the current environment is exactly the same as what she saw before, Tao Xiaoyao still feels that something is wrong.
Ao Yi patted Tao Xiaoyao's back at this time and motioned for her to look to the side.
Tao Xiaoyao followed the direction of Ao Yi's finger, and suddenly found that two figures appeared on the bed that was empty before, one sitting and one lying, no, it was three, and there was a very small figure curled up next to it, if you didn't look carefully, you really couldn't find it.
The one who is sitting is none other than Jiuluo!
Tao Xiaoyao was ecstatic, and was about to pounce forward, but was caught by Chang An, who had been silent behind him, and couldn't move.
"What are you doing?" Tao Xiaoyao's eyes widened, wondering what was going on now.
Chang An didn't mean to explain, so Tao Xiaoyao had to turn to Ao Yi for help.
Ao Yi coughed lightly and explained. "The mural you saw just now is actually an entrance, and now we are entering the mural, which can temporarily hide our aura from outsiders. ”
No wonder, she felt that something was wrong, it was the same furnishings, but it gave her a lifeless atmosphere.
"What about Jiuluo?" Tao Xiaoyao motioned to Ao Yi to hurry up and explain to herself about Jiuluo.
She noticed that Jiuluo's eyes had been closed, his face was whiter than the last time she saw him, and his whole person looked like he had disappeared all signs of life.
The person lying on the bed, because it was blocked by the surrounding bed, she couldn't see it very clearly, but she could vaguely guess that it should be a woman, and the little figure curled up was obviously Xiao Jiu who suddenly ran out that day.
Tao Xiaoyao frowned, Chang An behind her had already untied her, and a flash of inspiration flashed in her mind. "Could it be that Qixiao is lying there?"
Qixiao and Chang An, Meng has always been not out of focus, Jiao is not away from Meng, except for the last time when Qixiao ran away from home, and now Chang An has appeared in front of him, then there is only one explanation, the one lying on the bed is Qixiao.
She suddenly remembered what she had told herself after all, Qixiao's previous life, because of the injury of Shura's seawater, her soul was greatly damaged, and she was barely able to be reincarnated, but every time she could only live to the age of eighteen before she died, so it seems that it is because Qixiao's fate of passing away at the age of eighteen was not saved by that soul rejuvenation fruit?
Chang An made a cold face and nodded.
At this time, Ao Yi also explained, "Jiuluo can save Qixiao, so we hid here, I wanted to settle Qixiao and go to look for you, but I didn't expect you to come so soon." ”
"There are a lot of immortal soldiers and demon generals out there. ”
"I feel it. Ao Yi nodded, "That's why I strengthened the enchantment just now, and they won't find it here for a while." ”
"They're coming for me. Tao Xiaoyao also lowered her face and spoke.
Unexpectedly, Tao Xiaoyao suddenly came out with such a sentence, Ao Yi was stunned for a moment, "I know." ”
"Then you left me alone in the inn yesterday?" Tao Xiaoyao asked aggressively, but her eyes looked at Jiuluo without blinking.
Although she really wanted to wake up Jiuluo now, and there were many, many questions to ask him in her heart, she could see that Jiuluo's treatment for Qixiao was at a critical moment, and if she rashly broke in, it would definitely cause a lose-lose situation. Although she was very uneasy when she looked at Jiuluo's pale face, Tao Xiaoyao still tried her best to restrain her emotions, so she had to casually talk about the topic, trying to distract herself.
"I put an enchantment at the inn, and as long as you don't go out, they won't find you. Ao Yi scratched his head, feeling that Tao Xiaoyao was angry with him because he left her alone, and explained.
Tao Xiaoyao was silent, no wonder she was caught by the immortal soldiers and immortal generals led by Lei Heng as soon as she went out.
"What about Xiao Jiu?" Tao Xiaoyao suddenly asked again.
Ao Yi couldn't keep up with the leap of Tao Xiaoyao's thinking, but he still subconsciously replied, "Jiuluo's strength is not enough." ”
Tao Xiaoyao nodded.
And Chang An, who had been silent before, suddenly spoke, "Because it takes two people to maintain the formation of this mural, I can only entrust Qixiao to Jiuluo and the Fire Descendant." ”
Tao Xiaoyao glanced up at Chang An, who was standing, and did not answer.
"After Qixiao wakes up, I will go and explain to my father. Chang An continued.
Tao Xiaoyao's body stiffened, stood up in disbelief, and looked at Chang An, "What did you say?"
It was not easy for him to get rid of his identity as the prince of the fairy world, and he was able to be with Qi Xiao, but he actually wanted to throw himself into the net and return to the fairy world? What should Qi Xiao do? Didn't the Jade Emperor say that he would not accept other women as his daughter-in-law no matter what?
Chang An turned his head and looked at Qixiao and Jiuluo on the bed, "This is what I owe to you." ”
Tao Xiaoyao understood that Chang An was guilty of indirectly killing her parents, so she felt that she owed something to herself.
I don't kill Beren, but Beren dies because of me.
But what's going on with those "guys"?
"You guys?" Tao Xiaoyao sensitively noticed the loophole in Chang An's words.
Chang An's expression froze, as if he remembered what he had promised someone, and immediately hid the trace of unnaturalness, "Jiuluo has saved Qixiao twice, and I have to repay this favor no matter what." ”
Tao Xiaoyao clenched her hands and looked at Chang An's gaze, the trace of uneasiness in her heart became stronger and stronger.
It always feels like something big is going to happen.
Definitely, it won't be as simple as Chang An said.
Just as Tao Xiaoyao was about to continue to ask, Ao Yi on the side suddenly changed his face and yelled badly.
"What's wrong?" Tao Xiaoyao asked Ao Yi, and Chang An also frowned at this time, as if he understood what was wrong in Ao Yi's mouth.
A dark light flashed in his eyes, and his hands were sealed, and a bright white light shot out from the palm of his hand, shooting straight into the mural. Seeing this, Ao Yi hurriedly added his strength to Chang An, and the two worked together to strengthen the seal of the mural, wanting to delay the time and not be discovered by people outside.
"What the hell is going on?" no one answered Tao Xiaoyao, she was also a little panicked, and vaguely, she sensed that there should be a powerful person outside.
However, who is it that can make Chang An and Ao Yi so flustered?
She stared at her eyes sharply and exclaimed, "Is the Jade Emperor here?"
Chang An's face darkened, and he concentrated on consuming all the strength of his body on the enchantment, "Not only the father, but also the demon lord." ”
"He's here too?" Tao Xiaoyao took a step back in fright, almost knocking over the table behind her.
Xiaoluo hurriedly stepped forward to support her, held her cold little hand, and signaled her not to panic.
Awakened by the cold touch of her palm, Tao Xiaoyao slowly stabilized her emotions. She had thought that she would face such a scene one day, but she didn't expect it to be so soon, and at such an embarrassing moment.
If Chang An is still alive, the consequences will be unimaginable......
Chi Li's only son, Tao Xiaoyao's father, Qiao Ji's brother, died for the crime of killing Chang An, if it was known that Chang An was still alive, then it was unimaginable what Chi Li would do.
There is also the Jade Emperor, who found that his son had been hiding in the human world with a woman in the human world all along, and when he was in peace, he was bound to reveal the scandal of fratricidal brotherhood at the beginning, and the two worlds were bound to be in chaos, and even the current illusion of peace could not be maintained.
If this is the case, then wouldn't it be in vain for the dead track and Biluo to be sacrificed!
What appeared in Tao Xiaoyao's mind was full of the two people who were smiling like flowers and connected to their own blood in Xiao Jiu's memory. She seemed to be able to understand a little bit of what kind of mood they were in when they drank the sea water of Shura.
No, they can't sacrifice in vain, and their parental love can't be lost in vain.
Tao Xiaoyao made up her mind, and looked back at Jiuluo, his eyes were still tightly closed, beads of sweat were on his forehead, his face was pale, and his eyelashes trembled slightly, as if he was about to open.
Jiuluo, wait for me, I will definitely come back!
Tao Xiaoyao gritted her teeth, ruthlessly retracted the gaze on Jiuluo's body, and rushed towards the mural with an arrow step.
Chang An and Ao Yi didn't expect Tao Xiaoyao to suddenly rush out, so they hurriedly retracted their spiritual power, and when they reacted, they found that Tao Xiaoyao had already disappeared from front of them.
She didn't want to lead everyone away by herself!
Chang An's face became heavy, he looked back at Qixiao worriedly, his lips trembled slightly, and finally gritted his teeth, and once again projected the spiritual power of his whole body onto the mural.
Just for a moment, just for a moment.
Wait for Qixiao to wake up, wait for him to look at Qixiao again, wait for him to say goodbye to Qixiao, wait for him to erase Qixiao's memory......
Chang An knew in his heart that if he went to see the Jade Emperor, there was a chance that he would not be able to come back, not to mention that it was related to the two worlds of immortals and demons, just to say that he was the prince, and the Jade Emperor would never allow him to hide in the world for thousands of years for the sake of his children's private affairs. Before leaving, he must cut everything off, and he must make sure that Seven Smiles will live forever with a smile.
Chang An looked at the aura in his hand in a daze, and suddenly remembered the memories of the seven generations that laughed together, how good it would be if time could stay at that moment forever.
He has no regrets, no regrets that he met Qixiao in the first place, and he does not regret giving up everything for her.
Time, in this moment, suddenly became long and short.
The little man on the bed blinked his eyelashes, his face returned to ruddy, his heartbeat gradually stabilized, his breathing was slow and orderly, and his fingers even moved slightly.
Seven laughs, seven laughs......
Qixiao suddenly heard a call in his ears, so affectionate, so spoiled, but so desperate.
Seven laughs, seven laughs......
Qixiao's fingers moved slightly, feeling that her whole body seemed to be floating above the clouds, fluttering, and there was an endless stream of warm currents flowing into her body, giving her endless strength and courage, and her hand was suddenly held tightly by a cold hand.
Seven smiles, oh, my seven smiles......
Although that hand was very cold, Qixiao felt warmer than anything, she was a little obsessed with the temperature, clinging to the coolness of her palm, reluctant to leave.
Qixiao, you must be happy, forget me, you will be very happy......
The murmuring continued, but Qixiao didn't have the heart to listen to the familiar voice chattering something, her heart was suddenly empty, as if something important had been dug up, inexplicably panicked, she trembled her eyelashes, tried to open her eyes, her hand grasped the coldness, relying on the strength drawn from it, just at the moment when her eyes were about to open, a drop of cold liquid suddenly dripped from her face.
Yes, is it raining?
