267, monster
After Jiang Shidao was taken away, the cave fell silent.
After crying bitterly, Xia Shuang didn't say a word, just silently looked at the entrance of the cave every day.
Lingyu didn't know what to say, although she felt that Xia Shuang was very pitiful, but she was not a person who was good at comforting others, and no one else could comfort this kind of thing.
Another few days passed, and Lingyu always felt that the next moment, the gentle footsteps of the young man would be heard in the darkness.
She asked herself, could she really just wait like this? Is there no other way?
In the silence, Xu Yi's voice suddenly came: "You say, who will be next?" β
Lingyu suddenly opened her eyes, glanced at Xia Shuang, and then looked at Xu Yi in front of her, her eyes were scorching.
Xu Yi was taken aback: "What? β
Lingyu smiled slightly, whispered, and said a word.
Xu Yi was stunned.
β¦β¦
The sound of waiting footsteps finally sounded, and the figure of the young man slowly appeared in the light of the night pearl.
His gaze first fell on Xia Shuang, then to Lingyu, and finally to Xu Yi.
The cave was as quiet as ever, Xia Shuang didn't move, calm as death, Lingyu and Xu Yi looked at him, not frightened, not flustered.
"Huh?" The young man showed an interesting expression, "Aren't the three of you afraid?" β
No one answered him.
The young man was very disappointed: "Okay, which of you will go this time?" Ask for it yourself, or let me name it? β
"Huh!" It was Lingyu who spoke, and she looked up at the young man, "Can you only go one person at a time?" β
This question made the young man slightly stunned, and his eyes narrowed: "What do you mean?" β
"It means......" Xu Yi answered. Mind if we go along? β
The boy blinked. He didn't seem to believe what he was hearing. Eyes moved between the two of them: "Go together?" You guys? β
"And me." Xia Shuang suddenly spoke, this was the first time she spoke after that day.
The expression on the young man's face became even more strange: "You three ...... Want to go together? β
"Yes." After a brief moment of surprise, Lingyu glanced at Xia Shuang, smiled and responded leisurely.
The young man didn't answer immediately, was silent for a while, and said, "Do you know what you're going to do?" β
"I don't know." Xu Yi rubbed his sword. "It's certainly not going to be a good thing, though."
"Then you ......," the young man's eyes rolled around, "do you want to strengthen your courage together?" β
"We're just trying to save some trouble." Lingyu said, "Look, your master is very troublesome to see one by one." No matter what he wants to do, isn't it easy to do it together? If we refine a puppet or something, we can still help the handle, and we have a preparation in our hearts, right? β
"......," the boy rolled his eyes. No matter what you think, tell you the truth. With your strength, it is impossible to do anything to my master. β
"Really?" Lingyu smiled, but her eyes were firmly fixed on him, "I've been thinking about it for the past few days, what did you deliberately provoke me that day?" β
The boy was silent for a moment, then quickly burst out laughing and looked at her mockingly: "Don't threaten me with this, my master doesn't care at all." β
Lingyu's smile remained unchanged, as if she was thinking: "I think about it, if a mortal offends a monk, in most cases, he will be taught a lesson, right?" Maybe they'll be captured by the guards...... You also said that day that if you were taken away, there would be no place now. Why do you want to be taken away so much? β
The young man's face changed slightly, with a little panic, and his eyes unconsciously glanced into the darkness.
"Boy, are you...... Didn't want to stay in ......."
"Shut up!" The teenager drank low.
Lingyu had a bigger smile on her face and exchanged a look with Xu Yi. No more urging, just looking at each other.
In the end, it's a child, and love is so easy to be provoked out.
Lingyu looked at this young man, and a lot of emotions flashed on his clearly immature face, some were confused, some were at a loss, and some were desperate, which slowly evolved into resoluteness and hope.
Finally, he said, "Since you are going to die together, then come all of you." However, I do not guarantee that the owner will not get angry. β
Lingyu showed a triumphant smile and stood up first, Xu Yi followed closely behind, and Xia Shuang silently followed.
As she entered the darkness, Lingyu felt a hand come to her, and then, the palm of her hand was stuffed with something.
Then, there were ripples around him, as if the water was rippling, soft and silent, but his body seemed to be paralyzed. The time of paralysis is short, so short that it almost takes time to feel it, and it disappears. A faint glow came flooding in.
She squinted, feeling the sun she hadn't seen in a long time.
Even though it was a sunset at dusk and there was no heat, it warmed up her whole body.
After a while, accustomed to the sunshine, she exhaled and whispered, "I'm still alive." β
"You brought all three?" The voice was low and shrill as if a saw had rubbed against a stone, destroying the warmth.
Lingyu's eyes opened, and the scene in front of him slowly became clear.
The first thing that catches the eye is a huge furnace, looking at the height, it is not a problem to install more than a dozen people. There was a strange smell around it, both medicinal and burnt.
Her eyes went down and saw the person next to the furnace, and her pupils shrank suddenly.
ββWhere is this person? The layers of flesh were piled together, and he could only barely distinguish the torso and limbs, and his facial features could not be distinguished at all, if it weren't for him wearing a robe and sitting in a wheelchair, Lingyu would never have thought that this was actually a person!
She was more of a monster than a man, with a huge head and loose and dry skinβthe skin of the old tree bark, which gave her goosebumps.
Xu Yi and Xia Shuang were also shocked, and their eyes widened in shock.
"The three of them want to die together, so they can simply fulfill them." The boy said, though he used the words casually, but his tone was cautious.
"Really?" In the layers of folds, there is a sharp light.
"Yes, anyway, the master wants to choose the best, and if you come together, you can pick one."
Roshan moved slowly: "So, it makes sense. β
The boy breathed a sigh of relief.
Lingyu felt very strange. Her cultivation is still there, but she can't tell what kind of cultivation this person is. said that he was a mortal, with a powerful fluctuation on his body. In front of him. I can't even mention the true yuan; Said he was a monk. This fluctuation is very different from the coercion that is usually felt.
Pick the best one and pick the ...... What does this mean? What the hell does this monster want to do? Takeaway?
Lingyu secretly squeezed the things in her hand and forced herself to calm down.
The thing in the palm of her hand is a jade talisman used to transmit information, and if she is about to die, this young man will not give her this at all. Maybe. Will this monster be safe for a while before doing anything to them?
Xu Yi beside him, his breathing seemed a little heavy, and he finally couldn't help but take a step forward and shouted, "Who are you?" What do you want to do? β
"Yo, a daring boy." Roshan said, in a rather amusing tone, his gaze slowly swept over him, and he exclaimed, "This body is really perfect." Young and full of strengthβ"
The voice. With endless yearning, Xu Yi's scalp tingled when he heard it, as if he was a piece of tender and juicy braised pork, and the other party was drooling at him.
"It's a pity, it's a sword cultivator." Roshan shook his folds and said.
Xu Yi unconsciously broke out in a cold sweat, just now he really felt that he would be devoured by someone in the next moment.
"Well, that's good." The greedy gaze shifted to Xia Shuang, "It's just that the qualifications are a little worse." β
Xia Shuang unconsciously clenched his fists.
"What is this...... the monster's voice paused, a little confused, "The qualifications are good, and the physical body is perfect, but ...... The meridians are too fragile, what a disappointment! β
Lingyu knew that he was talking about himself, and he didn't know whether to rejoice or smile bitterly.
It is necessary not only for qualifications, but also for the body, and for the meridians...... Could it be that the other party really wants to give up?
"Let me think, which one should I choose?" A disgusting gaze went back and forth between the three of them.
"You just forgot to leave the layman? What exactly do you want to do? Xu Yi couldn't bear it anymore and asked again.
"Hah!" The monster laughed, and the laughter was harsh, and when he laughed, he said, "Yes, I just forgot to leave the layman." β
Although it was the expected answer, Xu Yi was still stunned: "You, aren't you a Yuanying monk?" How could it be like this? β
As soon as the words came out, the surroundings suddenly became cold.
The monster, that is, the monk who forgot to leave the layman, said darkly: "You want to know? β
Even if Xu Yi has always been bold, he couldn't help but tremble at this time.
"You'll find out sooner or later." The monk said, waving his hand to the young man: "Lock it up first, let me think about it carefully." β
"Yes, master." The young man secretly breathed a sigh of relief and walked towards them, "You guys, follow me!" β
"Hey!" Xu Yi wanted to say something.
Lingyu gave him a look.
The three of them followed the boy and left silently.
Lingyu observed her surroundings as she walked. The place where the monster and the Ding Furnace were located seemed to be the platform of the canyon, and the canyon where they had fallen could be seen from afar. There were many elixirs planted around, and there were so many kinds of them that she didn't recognize.
So many elixirs, such a big furnace, and medicinal incense...... This forgetful layman is studying the elixir?
Such a terrible appearance is by no means born with it, listening to the desire for perfect flesh in his tone, is it just to occupy their flesh?
But his behavior is not like a simple snatch.
Lingyu felt that she was faintly close to the truth, but she was separated by a layer of things, and she couldn't figure it out.
For example, is the monk of Forgetting Leave the monk Yuanying or not, and why is the aura on his body so special? Like, why did he become like that? Like, what exactly does he want to do with them? Has Bai Wuxun already been "used" by him?
Lingyu looked up at the sky, pondering the possibility of suddenly activating the jade piece and escaping.
He turned his head to look at the canyon and sighed dejectedly.
Although the cultivation and treasures are all there, the prohibition in this canyon is also clear. It's so powerful that she doesn't have the certainty of cracking it at all. Maybe it's just that they're too confident, so they don't plan to do anything to them at all, right?
"You rest here first, and when the master thinks about it, he will naturally come and call you." The boy stopped in front of a row of caves, and without waiting for them to say anything, he left. (To be continued......)
