Chapter 10: Departure
The night was already dark, and there were gusts of wind and the roar of demon beasts outside the cave, coming through the entrance of the cave. But the cave was a mess at this time, as if it had just been through a scuffle, full of gravel and mud pits, thick blood in the air, and a faint smell of lilies and burning branches.
Ye Zi sat panting and leaning against the door of the cave, and not far from the cave was Fan Wenbai's corpse lying on the ground, as well as the slightly hideous and painful face, with blood bubbling from the mouth, nose and eyes, which looked very weird and terrifying. In the other corner of the cave, Xiao Bai was lying there dying, squinting at Fan Wenbai, and then at the leaves, and closed his eyes to rest.
After a long while, Ye Zi slowly stood up against the wall, his delicate and beautiful face was shocked, and he turned his head slightly, and saw Fan Wenbai's hideous face full of blood.
After looking at it for a few seconds, Ye Zi's pupils shrank suddenly, and he hurriedly stepped forward with a breath, raised his foot and kicked Fan Wenbai's already slightly stiff body, kicking again and again, until he had no more strength before he gasped and stopped, and took a few steps back.
At this time, Xiao Bai, who was resting with his eyes closed, was already stunned by Ye Zi's actions, maybe it didn't expect that Ye Zi, who looked extremely delicate, could kick so fiercely, staring at Ye Zi and blinking his eyes, looking ignorant.
Ye Zi stepped forward and bent down to tear off the Qiankun bag on Fan Wenbai's waist, and took out a black brocade bag from his arms, patted it vigorously and there was no dust, and then looked left and right, not knowing how to use it.
After thinking about it, Ye Zi gently turned his head to look at Xiao Bai, who was still dazed, and didn't feel that Xiao Bai was hostile to him, so he slowly walked towards Xiao Bai, raised the Qiankun bag in his hand and said softly: "Oh, I know you are also injured, there are pills that can cure injuries in this bag, you help me take out all the things in it, and the pills are all yours." ”
After speaking, seeing Xiao Bai raise his furry tiger head, his eyes looked at Ye Zi blankly and did not make any moves, Ye Zi put his mind at ease and walked quickly to Xiao Bai and squatted down, raised the Qiankun bag in his hand and said, "Can you open it?" ”
Xiao Bai Muran blinked his eyes and flicked his tail lightly, Ye Zi was about to continue to say something, only to hear a "bang", and a mountain-like object rose from the ground out of thin air! One of them was the silver sword that Fan Wenbai had used before, and it was still stained with blood at the moment!
Ye Zi's face was in ecstasy, he threw aside the two bags in his hand, and began to pick and pick them up in the hill, and did not forget to continue to ask: "Is everything in this Qiankun bag here?" ”
After asking, he didn't wait for Xiaobai's answer, just buried his head in the small hill to find what he needed. There are a lot of items on the ground, there are all kinds of large and small ores, a few robes, in addition to the silver sword, there is also an axe-shaped small-handled weapon, more than a dozen yellow talismans, other bottles, cans, jade boxes, and hundreds of shiny crystals, and the others are the fur materials on some demon beasts, and there are a lot of them.
Ye Zi thought about it, and picked up some small items such as the jade bottle, jade box, spirit stone rune seal, the silver sword was too heavy, and Ye Zi tried it with it, and felt that it was quite laborious, so he threw it away. But the axe looked very small, and the leaves were picked up and set aside. In the end, there were only materials and miscellaneous items left, and Ye Zi picked up the Qiankun bag and gestured towards the pile of miscellaneous items, and then glanced at the miscellaneous items at the mouth of Xiao Bai, as if to say: You know how to do it, right?!
The ignorant Xiaobai eyes blinked, and a pile of small mountains of debris disappeared. Satisfied, he put the Qiankun bag in his arms, and Ye Zicai handed a few bottles and cans to Xiao Bai with a smile.
"Well, I don't know what kind of pills these are, you can take whichever bottle you like, and you can give it all to you!" Xiaobai's cooperation has made the leaves harvest a lot, and the leaves with a beautiful mood are also very generous to Xiaobai.
Xiao Bai sniffed, and finally opened one of the jade bottles with the help of Ye Zi, took all three pills inside, and quietly watched Ye Zi busy cleaning up the other boxes.
Ye Zi is not without common sense, and the rumors of cultivating immortals have often been discussed by the surrounding classmates in modern times, at this time, Ye Zi put the talisman seal that he could not use for the time being into the baggage, and said to himself while playing with the shiny crystals:
"This looks like that kind of spirit stone! It turns out that there is really this thing, it's beautiful......"
Counting, there are more than three hundred pieces in total, and the pile is the size of a football, Ye Zi thought about it, took two spirit stones and put them in his arms, and wrapped the rest and put them in the baggage. In the end, there were two jade bottles and a jade box left unopened, the jade bottle was full of pills, and the leaves were opened and put aside, after the jade box was opened, it was found that there were several spirit fruits inside, and there were some herbs that looked quite valuable, Ye Zi thought about it, took out all the spirit fruits, handed one to Xiao Bai casually, picked up one himself, and ate it, and closed the jade box and put it into the baggage.
After the items on the ground were cleaned up, Ye Zi turned around and sat on the ground towards Xiao Bai, while eating the spirit fruit with a click, while looking at Xiao Bai's dumb eyes fixedly, one man and one beast stared at it with big eyes, until all the spirit fruits were eaten, Ye Zi clapped his hands, wiped the corners of his mouth and asked, "Now you are left, what should I do with you?" ”
Ye Zi frowned and meditated there thinking about countermeasures, and Xiao Bai, who had already recovered most of his injuries after taking the pill, glanced at Ye Zi with his dumb eyes, turned his head and leaned his head on his forelimbs in a daze, secretly despising it: Ignorant humans! Even if I didn't take the pill, it wouldn't be easy to hurt you as a mortal! The tiger is not powerful, you are really a sick cat, snort!
After thinking about it for a long time, Ye Zi felt that Xiaobai was still friendly to him, since he was not an enemy, then he was a friend? However, how can I guarantee that the "friend" will not hurt himself after recovering from his injuries?! Hey, what a headache...... Why don't you let it go?! However, how can an ordinary person survive in this Hundred Demon Forest? Even if there are no demon beasts attacking him, how many years and months will he have to walk out of this demon forest with his legs tens of thousands of miles?! At that time, I saw a white-haired old woman walking out of the exit of the demon forest......
Thinking of this, Ye Zi couldn't help but get goosebumps all over his body, shook his head and said secretly: No, no! If that's the case, then it's better to live in Xiaoguancun for the rest of your life! At least have a good time!
Ye Zi, who was deep in thought, suddenly felt a warm and wet palm in his left hand, and when he looked down, it turned out that Xiao Bai was gently licking his palm, with a cute expression, which made Ye Zi's heart soft for a while.
That's it! Get out! Die and die, rather than being eaten by those unknown demon beasts outside, it is better to die in Xiaobai's mouth!
Thinking of this, Ye Zi raised his licked left hand, gently touched Xiao Bai's head, and said with a smile like a big bad wolf coaxing Little Red Riding Hood: "We are still partners, right?" In this way, when I get to Sifang City, half of the pile of spirit stones just now, as well as these two bottles of pills, will be given to you, how about it? ”
When Xiao Bai heard Ye Zi's words, he just glanced at Ye Zi with disdain, and snorted in his heart: If you covet these things, I eat you, and these are all mine, and you will be used to divide half of them? Ignorant!
Poor Xiaobai is only second-order, he can't speak, and he can't express his inner dissatisfaction, so he has to use contemptuous eyes to convey his disdain for Ye Zi's proposal, but Ye Zi looks at Xiao Bai and thinks it's very cute, even his eyes are so dull, which makes people love him, where can he think that Xiao Bai is despising himself?
Seeing that Xiaobai didn't move, Ye Zi continued to coax: "Then it's decided, the road and safety after this will be handed over to you!" As for me, I am responsible for making food for you, which is called a reasonable division of labor. ”
After taking care of his personal safety in the Hundred Demon Forest, Ye Zi's heart relaxed slightly, looking at Fan Wenbai's corpse, he felt sick and uncomfortable, and at the same time felt a deep sense of guilt.
If I hadn't come out of Xiaoguan Village with Fan Wenbai, I would still be eating at the same table with Aunt Fan by now, right?! Third Brother Fan is the youngest son that Aunt Fan is most concerned about, and he was taken in by Aunt Fan in Xiaoguan Village, but Third Brother Fan died in his own hands, how should he face Aunt Fan? Ye Zi couldn't help but feel bored in his heart.
"Babbling ......"
Yezi, who was bored, was startled by the sudden human voice, and suddenly bounced up from the ground and hid behind Xiao Bai, and Xiao Bai also stood up and let out a low roar of vigilance, as if warning the other party not to approach!
I saw an old man who looked to be over sixty years old, with gray hair, dressed in a white-washed gray robe, with a dusty bag hanging from his waist, his hair casually pulled up and inserted into a wooden bun, and a lot of fine silver threads fluttering in his ears, an old and wrinkled face, and a few finger-length silver white beards on his chin, shaking up and down as he spoke.
"Haha...... Don't be afraid, don't be afraid, I was passing by here and wanted to come in for a night's rest, but I didn't expect someone to be there. ”
Ye Zi has no cultivation, he can only guess that the other party should be a cultivator based on his own feelings and the other party's pretense, but Xiao Bai is different, Xiao Bai obviously feels that the other party's strength is unfathomable, so his mouth keeps whining warnings.
After listening to the strange old man's words, Ye Zi felt a little relieved in his heart, it seemed that the other party really didn't mean to harm himself, otherwise he could have taken advantage of Ye Zi and Xiaobai to make a move without Ye Zi and Xiaobai noticing, and he wouldn't have alarmed himself loudly! And Ye Zi didn't expect at this time that Xiao Bai was a second-order demon beast, and his perception of the surrounding environment was more than that of ordinary monks, why didn't even Xiao Bai notice the approach of this strange old man?
Ye Zi patted Xiao Bai's head, signaling it to stop being on guard, and instead leaned on Xiao Bai to find a corner in the cave and sit down, silently expressing his meaning. When the strange old man saw that Ye Zi was no longer on guard, he smiled and stepped into the cave, only to see the corpse of a disheveled man lying in the cave, and the old man's face was slightly surprised, "Oh? With a sigh, Ye Zi hurriedly reflected and explained:
"Not what you think! He, he's injured...... Afterward...... Later......"
"Huh...... Later, he died of his injuries, right? ”
Ye Zi, who was racking his brains and thinking about how to deal with it, was slightly stunned when he heard the strange old man's empathetic addition, and nodded blankly.
Seeing Ye Zi like this, the strange old man laughed heartily again: "Little girl, don't worry, the old man is old, not a bad person!" Besides, don't you still have that demon tiger to protect you! ”
When Ye Zi heard the strange old man's words, the corners of his mouth twitched slightly, and he muttered to himself in his heart: Can you protect me or say something else, maybe it's a time bomb!
"Haha...... How? Am I not right? The strange old man saw through the disapproval on Ye Zi's face at a glance, and smiled heartily.
This girl looks quite strange, she actually killed this monk of the seventh layer of qi refining with the power of a mortal, looking at the breath on this white tiger's body, it should be the contract beast of this killing man, because the master accidentally died and was seriously injured, but because of the timely consumption of the healing pill and recovered from the injury! It's really strange that it's not a contract beast for a female baby, but it can take the initiative to protect the master!
Ye Zi sat tightly against Xiao Bai, slightly nervous in his heart, and the strange old man looked at himself with a smile from time to time, although his eyes were not malicious, but thinking of Fan Wenbai's death, Ye Zi's heart became apprehensive again. touched Xiao Bai's fluffy ears beside him, and his heart was slightly relieved: Fortunately, Xiao Bai is there......
Turning his head and looking at the stiffened corpse of Fan Wenbai in the cave, Ye Zi couldn't help but see the unbearable scene in front of his eyes......
