24. Go and stay (I)
After his eyes twitched a few times, Zhang Longqian finally opened his eyes slowly.
Suddenly returned to reality from the sea of consciousness, the bright light immediately made her feel a little dazzling, she couldn't help blinking her eyes a few times, and then she felt that someone had pounced on her, she just wanted to reflexively turn over and throw the person out, but after hearing the familiar voice, she stopped her movements in time.
"Long Qian, you've finally woken up! That's great! ”
"Xiaolu?"
After blinking his eyes and finally making his vision clear, what Zhang Longqian saw was really the petite Bai Lu, she hung on Zhang Longqian's neck tightly as usual, with worried tears in her eyes, a pitiful look, Zhang Longqian's heart couldn't help but soften, he sat up with his body propped up, and raised his hand to pat Bai Lu's head a little dotingly, but he still had some difficulty in opening his mouth.
"Little Lu...... Breathe ......"
Only then did he realize that he had used his strength a little too much, and Bai Lu immediately let go, but he still hung on Zhang Longqian and refused to let go, looking like he had palpitations.
Zhang Longqian also knew that Bai Lu cared too much about herself, so he didn't ask her to let go, but just let her hang up, then turned his head to look at Zhou Miao beside the bed, and said with a smile: "Why don't you come and hug it?" ”
Saying that, she really opened her arms to greet the hug, but Zhou Miao snorted softly with a straight face: "I don't squeeze a place with Xiao Lu." ”
The expected reaction made Zhang Longqian laugh softly, and her mood felt much better, she turned her head to look around, but the first thing she noticed was not the unfamiliar environment, but Cang Yan, who was sitting on the other side of her, as if guarding her.
The appearance of cross-kneeling made Zhang Long subconsciously suppress his voice, and from Cang Yan's miserable face, she could see that he was not lightly injured, and she immediately asked Bai Lu and Zhou Miao in a low voice with some eagerness: "What's wrong with Cang Yan?" ”
But without waiting for the two of them to answer, Zhang Longqian suddenly remembered what Feng Xing had said when he was still in the Soul Suppression Jade.
"After being stabbed by the Five Elements Sword, you died physically, and the Five Elements Sword also judged that this was indeed the case, so it entered your body. But then someone saved you and pulled you back from the brink of death. ”
At that time, the only person beside her was Cang Yan, and Cang Yan's injury at the moment made the truth of this speculation increase a lot, Zhang Longqian couldn't help but look at his two friends with wide eyes.
"Isn't it ...... He's here to save me...... That's how it came to be, right? ”
Unexpectedly, Zhang Long guessed it at once, Bai Lu and Zhou Miao couldn't help but glance at each other in surprise.
Seeing the almost affirmative reaction of the two friends, Zhang Longqian immediately looked at Cang Yan in disbelief, his eyes were still closed, his face was pale, but his expression was so calm and cold, like a statue.
Looking at him like that, Zhang Longqian's heart twitched slightly inexplicably, and when she wanted to subconsciously look away, she suddenly caught a glimpse of the color of Cang Yan's hair.
The illusion used to conceal Cangyan's hair color had lost its effect in Zhang Long's submerged eyes, and the dark red that had been burned out as if the flames had burned out had now become more vivid, like a flame that was about to be extinguished and slowly rekindled.
Seeing that color, Zhang Longqian's heart suddenly trembled for some reason, and an inexplicable uneasiness immediately enveloped her, as if those slight changes were some terrible sign, her voice suddenly became a little nervous, and she subconsciously turned her head and stared at Bai Lu and Zhou Miao with wide eyes.
"What the hell is going on?! He...... What's going on now? ”
Zhang Longqian's flustered look made Bai Lu and Zhou Miao a little confused, but seeing that Zhang Longqian was very uneasy, they immediately spoke out to comfort her, and carefully told everything that happened before, from the time they arrived at the school forest with Nangong Piao, to how they met Zuo Ling, and the appearance of the executor, until now.
Listening to Bai Lu's chaotic and indiscriminate explanations and Zhou Miao's concise and clear additions from time to time, Zhang Longqian's gaze at Cang Yan became more and more shaken, and finally after the two of them stopped their voices, she couldn't help but let out an unbelievable subtle sound.
"Lifepower...... Share? He...... Why do it for me? ”
It's just to meet you, why do you want to be a stranger like me...... What about giving again and again?
Do this...... Sacrificing oneself like this...... Is it really worth it?
Looking at the cold face that would never be shaken by anything, Zhang Longqian's heart couldn't stop trembling.
didn't perceive her thoughts at the moment from Zhang Longqian's expression, Bai Lu just took it for granted to respond to Zhang Longqian's doubts: "Don't say you don't understand, even we want to ask!" No matter how you think about it, he shouldn't be a guy who would sacrifice himself to save people, after all, his reputation in the Dao Dharma Realm can be described as ......"
Before she finished speaking, Bai Lu was quietly twisted on her waist by Zhou Miao, and immediately paused in pain, and then finally noticed Nangong Piao, whose smile became a little embarrassed after hearing her words, Bai Lu then remembered that this was not something that could be said on such an occasion, so she immediately changed the topic and said: "Uh, in short, he will be fine after recuperating for a while, you don't have to worry too much!" ”
"Really...... That's good......"
Responding a little absentmindedly, Zhang Longqian didn't pay too much attention to Bai Lu's half-spoken words, nor did she think deeply about the meaning, she just couldn't help but raise her eyes to look at Cang Yan again, the slightly brighter hair color than before still made her a little uneasy, but she didn't understand why she was uneasy, and she didn't know what the unspeakable commotion in her heart was, so she could only regard this as her own excessive worry.
It felt strange that he would have such a reaction, so Zhang Longqian looked at Zuo Ling as if he wanted to divert his attention, tried his best to show a smile as usual, and said casually: "Speaking of which, I really didn't expect that Teacher Zuo Ling you are also a mage!" ”
"It's not that I didn't expect you to be a casual cultivator, but it's also unexpected."
Zuo Ling, who immediately sneaked back to Zhang Long and smiled, looked very soft, no different from the ordinary head teacher she knew, which allowed her to smile and talk to him with the same mood as usual.
"But then again, not only Xiao Lu and Xiao Miao are from the Dao Law Realm, but even my homeroom teacher is also a mage, according to this rhythm, shouldn't our class be all people from the Dao Law Realm?"
"How is that possible? After all, Zhongkun City is outside the jurisdiction of the Dao Law Realm, and it is rare for mages to appear in normal times, and if it weren't for the mission, mages would never have come here. ”
Remembering that Nangong Piao had said something similar before, Zhang Longqian nodded his head clearly.
Looking at the smiling Zuo Ling, Bai Lu blinked, and finally couldn't help but ask curiously: "But, just like the executor said, even the 'Secret Treasure Book' doesn't record where the Five Elements Sword is, so how do you know that it is in Zhongkun, Teacher Zuo Ling?" By luck? ”
The serious tone proved that Bai Lu was not joking, but really had this kind of thought, which made Zuo Ling couldn't help but laugh softly: "Of course not." It was because someone told me that the Five Elements Sword was here, so I came directly. ”
Bai Lu immediately opened his eyes wide and looked at Zuo Ling: "The Five Elements Sword is a secret treasure tied for the first place with the Yin and Yang Eye!" Even the elders of the Dharma Hall couldn't deduce its whereabouts, who was so powerful that they could know where it was? ”
"The man who entrusted me with the recovery of the Five Elements Sword. But I can't name it, you know, it's the rule. ”
Getting Zuo Ling's answer, although Bai Lu's face was full of curiosity, he still nodded his head and didn't ask any further, it seems that the rule should be very deeply rooted in the hearts of the people.
Looking at Bai Lu, who was silent, Zuo Ling looked at Zhang Longqian again, and seeing that none of them had any intention of speaking, he seriously asked a question that he had been thinking about for a long time.
"Long Qian, do you know why the Five Elements Sword suddenly appeared?"
