Chapter Twenty-Eight: Immortal Qiongtian
After dealing with Su Jue's wounds, Yue Qianlong breathed a sigh of relief, what if this guy died and left her alone. The ship when they came had already been destroyed by the tide, even if they got the Moon Spirit Grass, how could they send it back to Jiyan City? Maybe she would be trapped in the Ancestral Continent for hundreds or thousands of years, wouldn't she be lonely by herself?
Hundreds of millennia...... Yue Qianlong was confused for a while, she is now out of the Nuwa Divine Realm, without the blessing of that divine power, will she be born like ordinary people, old age, sickness and death? Yi Ze said that one person is not more than a hundred years old, even if he is born in the noble Penglai clan, he will not live to be five hundred years old, isn't this too short, there will be too many regrets? She thought about melancholy, and when she looked up, she saw scattered summer insects, it turned out that there were fireflies in the place where the gods lived?
At this time, the moonlight was a little lighter, but the stars were dazzling, and they walked in a wilderness one after the other, and occasionally flew by the streams. Because he hadn't heard the footsteps behind him for a long time, Su Jue turned around, Yue Qianlong was gone, could it be that he was in some danger?
"The more girl, the more girl-"
He only heard his own echo, Su Jue was in a hurry, just ran a few steps but suddenly saw a person coming out of the reeds under him, he took a step back in fright, and saw that it was Yue Qianlong.
"What are you doing, why do you still have the heart to play around at this time?"
Yue Qianlong smiled and opened her hands a little, and a few flowing gaps flew out of her palms, watching this little bit of fluorescence flickering in front of her eyes, Su Jue's face also had some cracks, and he opened his eyes wide and followed all the way, like a child full of curiosity.
Yue Qianlong smiled: "Wouldn't it be a pity that you don't bother to appreciate such a beautiful scenery?"
"You know that I didn't come to Zuzhou to watch the scenery and have fun, not to mention that there are a lot of illusions here, and what you and I see is not necessarily true, Miss Yue should also be on guard, if it is a poison trap, it will be difficult to get out. ”
Just like these summer insects, they finally go through the four seasons and break out of the cocoon, but they can't live for a short period of fourteen days, but in this fantasy world, they can survive in the world, avoiding life and death, so even if it is fake, what's the harm. ”
"Can't live for fourteen days?" Su Jue looked at the stray fireflies scattered in the forest, and asked with rare melancholy: "Does that mean that you will die after fourteen days?"
"That's right. ”
Hearing the man sigh, Yue Qianlong Fang asked, "Su Jue, tell me, die...... What the hell is it?"
"Why did Miss Yue ask that?"
"I was imprisoned in the Nuwa Divine Realm before, and I didn't have any thoughts about the time of life and death, but thinking about it now, I am also a mortal and have to face birth, old age, sickness and death, so I am a little scared. ”
Su Jue looked at the shining stars in the sky, he heard that after death, people will fall into the Yellow Spring to wait for the reincarnation of the next life, and some people say that the deceased will turn into stars in the sky and merge with the sky.
Thinking of his deceased relatives, Su Jue said slowly: "To die is to never see each other." ”
"Never see each other?"
"Hmm. ”
Yue Qianlong looked up at the twinkling star, and his heart seemed to fall all at once. This is so cruel, no wonder there are so many people who go to sea to live forever.
"Su Jue, let's go find the elixir of life by the way. ”
"The elixir of life, you want?"
"I'm a mortal, and I'm not an immortal god who can not die or get sick, so of course I want to have a chance. This world is so wonderful, I don't want to be a firefly passing by. ”
Su Jue was noncommittal after hearing this, and said for a long time: "Have you seen the appearance of the Moon Spirit Grass in the atlas?"
"No, since you've seen it, what do you ask?"
"I've seen it?"
"You, Su Jue, will venture to sea with just one legend, if you are not sure at all, you will act rashly, do I guess correctly?"
"I've seen the album, but I haven't seen the shadow of the moon spirit grass after walking for so long, and besides, the fragrance of flowers and trees here is too abundant, something is wrong. ”
"There's light ahead!" said Yue Qianlong and ran up on his own.
This is not moonlight, and when he gets closer, he can even feel the warmth in it, Su Jue couldn't help but lose his words when he took a closer look, he had always suspected that this was not Zu Zhou, but he also made up his mind when he looked at the strange fruits in front of him. The grass and trees in the sky are shaped like mushroom seedlings, all of which are more than four feet high, and the luster on the leaves of the seedlings is like pearls.
"Could it be that this is the rumored Qiongtian?"
Everyone says that there is a Qiongtian in this ancestral continent, and the immortal Qiong grass in it is the immortal spirit grass, and those who have been dead for three days will be resurrected when they are born, and the living can live forever if they take it.
"Miss Yue! Be careful, don't move. Before he could say anything, the man plucked one and took it in his hand.
"How?"
"These are not to be used in vain. ”
"I'm bold, I'm not afraid of being poisonous. ”
"We can't be completely sure that this is in Zuzhou yet, and there is no benefit in acting rashly. ”
"No good, if you don't try, how do you know what's good and what's bad? I try mine and it won't get in your way, if it's wrong, I'll die alone. ”
Seeing that Yue Qianlong was about to put something in his mouth, Su Jue hurriedly snatched the Qiongcao and admonished: "When I came, the Great Sect Sacrifice said that overseas things should not be tried indiscriminately, especially the elixir of immortality. ”
"What kind of idler is that, he can control you, but you can't control me. ”
"You, don't pick it again. ”
"Su Jue, are you going to do it with me for this?"
"You are here for the Moon Spirit Grass, why can I not have this Qiong Grass if you want the Moon Spirit Grass? Su Jue, don't force me. ”
"I just don't want to make trouble, Miss Yue......" At this time, Su Jue was about to make a move, but found that he couldn't take a step, "Miss Yue, be careful, there is something strange in this place, I can't move my legs." ”
"I, so do I. Yue Qianlong calmed down and immediately cut off the waist-high grass and trees around him, "How can this be?"
It turned out that their legs had long been entangled in blades of grass, and these things were like living creatures, and even the grass juice was a dazzling bright red.
"I can't care so much, get out first!"
The two looked at each other, and just as they wanted to cut off the restraints on their legs, the blades of grass split into five fingers, turning into palms and pulling them down, and the green wrists stuck to the legs, terrifying and disgusting. Yue Qianlong cut one off only to find that the thing had not changed, and it was clinging to the skin as if it had grown on a leg.
"Su Jue, this can't be done! It's too tight. ”
Soon, the branches and leaves that had taken root in their skin spread up, reaching their waists in the blink of an eye.
"What should we do? We're going to be swallowed up like this. ”
"Don't panic. Su Jue replied, and then focused his gaze on the layers of qiong grass.
The soil here is silvery white, Su Jue used all his strength to go down with a sword, and the sword body was not half in, and before he could pull it out, he saw a lot of blood gushing out from under the silver soil.
"Miss Yue, start from below. ”
"Good!"
Under the joint efforts of the two of them, the green palm that had spread to the front chest slowly lost its movement, and finally turned gray, drooping and falling to the ground, turning into carrion. The foul smell of corruption came rolling in, and Chitaki frowned.
"You're right, I shouldn't be in trouble, let's go now. She said that she was going to draw the sword, but the sword body seemed to be trapped in it and couldn't move, she looked up at Su Jue again, and the person also had a serious face.
"It's weird, if you can't tie us up, you're going to tie our swords, and I'd love to see what's down there. ”
"It just so happens that I want to too. After Su Jue finished speaking, he put his hands on the hilt of the sword and said, "Please also ask the girl to help me." ”
Yue Qianlong nodded and put his hand on the hilt of the sword, and the sword body finally shook a little under the joint efforts of the two.
"It seems that there is hope, and we continue. ”
Then the two of them pulled suddenly, and because they didn't have the strength to hold on, Yue Qianlong almost fell into this Qiongtian.
"Miss Yue!" Su Jue helped her stabilize her figure, "Are you okay?"
"It's okay, look there. She pointed to the piece of soil where the sword had been pulled out, "We pulled out a longevity lock, this bronze has been oxidized green, and it should have been in the soil for some years." ”
Su Jue curiously turned over the soil, and found an unrecognizable carrion corpse nearly six feet deep.
"Here's the people!"
"Looks right. Su Jue carefully observed the corpse, although the other parts had long been decomposed, the chest was still quite fresh, and there was a scar on the right chest that ran through, and now it was bleeding out. It dawned on him that he had just stabbed this thing?
"Ah......h
Yue Qianlong was so shocked that he took a few steps back, and this rotting corpse sighed!
"It hurts, it hurts, it hurts......"
It spoke! It was a young man.
"The dead have come back to life?"
"I'm afraid it's not a dead body, it's a living person. ”
"Alive!" Yue Qianlong looked at the corrupt man and said, "Can you still live like this?" ”
"Embracing the wood, destroying the ...... will ruin ......"
"What is he talking about?"
The man called out twice more, and then lay still.
"Now it's really a dead body. ”
Yue Qianlong thought of something and began to dig along the small pit, but after a while, they dug up more than a dozen such living corpses.
"Su Jue, you see, the roots and seedlings of this Qiong grass grow on them, and as soon as a person dies, this grass will immediately turn yellow, is it that these Qiong grass are all fed on people. ”
"It seems that if we hadn't escaped, I'm afraid we'd have fallen into the ground now. ”
"Could it be that these qiong grasses are all grown by absorbing the essence of people?"
"I'm afraid so. ”
I didn't expect this so-called elixir of immortality to be such a shady thing.
Yue Qianlong said indignantly for a while: "Then we will burn this Qiongtian to save these people from suffering here." ”
"It's burned? This Qiongtian looks endless, and if it burns, I don't know what will happen. ”
"This son is right, the girl must not be impulsive, once the fire starts, I am afraid that the two of you will also be doomed. ”
The two followed the sound and looked, and a little girl inexplicably appeared beside them.
