Chapter 20: Matters of the Heart
Jiang Xuyueyao has been in the Dark Forest for more than half a year, Zhang San, Li Sixiaoqi have returned to the academy two months ago, and now Jiang Xuyueyao has accumulated enough beasts in his backpack. For most of the past half a year, Jiang Xu has only wandered around the outer edge of the Dark Forest, and all the monsters he encounters are below the third order, and the two of them are naturally at ease. Demon beasts also have spirits, so most of the fierce beasts killed by Jiang Xu and Yueyao are cannibals.
At this moment, it was already dark, Jiang Xuyue and Yao and the others had a fire in a relatively safe place, and now it was winter, both of them were martial artists of the Three Realms, although they were not afraid of the cold, but they were also very comfortable to bake the fire. The fire shone on Jiang Xu's face, compared with half a year ago, Jiang Xu's face was much less childish, and the fight with demon beasts every day for half a year made him gradually become a resolute and calm young man.
Compared to when she was ten years old and Yue Yao first met, Yue Yao seemed to have changed more, she had grown long hair, and her short hair was now up to her shoulders. Maybe it's because Jiang Xu is the only one around, and when she doesn't fight with demon beasts, she looks like a quiet girl.
The two of them focused on the cultivation of cultivation all day long, and at the same time, they had their own thoughts.
Yue Yao added some more branches to the pyre, and then said, "Jiang Xu, we've been at the edge of this forest for a long time, what are you going to do?" ”
Jiang Xu thought for a while and said, "When the true qi spreads from the limbs to the torso, it can reach the Martial Sect. I originally wanted to break through to the Martial Sect here, but my martial cultivation seems to have reached a bottleneck. Let's go back to the academy in two days. ”
Then Jiang Xu seemed to remember something, so he asked Yue Yao: "Yue Yao, when I observe your cultivation, why are the true qi and spiritual energy of heaven and earth changing?"
Yue Yao pondered for a while and said, "I can absorb the true qi and spiritual energy between heaven and earth at the same time. When the heaven and earth are not opened, the heaven and the earth only have the vitality, and then it is divided into the true qi and aura, and I can convert the surrounding aura and the true qi into the vitality and absorb it directly, and when I fight, I can directly attack with the vitality. ”
It was a secret that few people knew, and she had never told anyone else.
Jiang Xu was shocked, he had never heard of such a cultivation method.
Yue Yao looked at the ashes in the fire, raised his head for a long time and looked at Jiang Xu and asked, "Do you have to avenge your family?"
Jiang Xu saw that it was rare for Yueyao to look at him so seriously, he nodded without hesitation and said, "This is the meaning of my life." ”
Yue Yao lowered her head, burying a trace of misery in the shadow of the firelight, and she asked softly, "Will you kill everyone who stands in your way?"
The two fell into a long silence at the same time, and there was silence around them, except for the "crackling" sound of the fire burning branches, and the light of the fire gradually dimmed, and neither of them added firewood.
"Yes. ”
There was only one gentle word, but the hearts of the two were filled with emotional turmoil.
The pain on the faces of his parents, the tragic death of his clansmen, and his sister...... The pain of memory made Jiang Xu stop thinking and recalling, and only his muscles trembled slightly in the residual pain and anger.
Yue Yao lowered her head and buried her head in the crook of her arm, and the mist welled up in the corners of her eyes. Ten years ago, she didn't have too much impression and cognition, but she remembered that a large number of clan warriors had left the underworld through the teleportation channel, including her father. A few years later, she secretly escaped from home and wandered all the way from the underworld to the human world, with her own strength and the talisman magic weapon given by her father, she was safe along the way.
In the past few years of travel, she has seen many human sufferings, the strong indiscriminately killing the weak, and the officials plundering ordinary people, so she wants to be a woman and get rid of the injustices in her eyes. But he ran out of money early, and later met Jiang Xu......
From the joy of seeing her at first sight, to the guilt and companionship after knowing the truth later, Jiang Xu has surpassed ordinary friends to her these days, but in the future, there is an insurmountable barrier between the two.
On that day, Jiang Xu was going to make a move against her clansmen and relatives, what should she do? If her clansmen wanted to get rid of Jiang Xu, would she be able to save his life? Why did the ancestor want to eradicate the Shennong clan in the fairy world, and was it for power and strength?
In the past six months, she is no longer lively, she wants to forget her identity, she wants to see him say and see him laugh, to see him be the first to rush up when he encounters a fierce beast, and she wants to help more people with him in the future, and get rid of more wicked people......
She wondered if that day would come.
She was so tired, she fell asleep in a daze.
Jiang Xu found some wood to rekindle the fire, and he took off a coat and put it on for her. Under the firelight, between her sideburns, there was her gentle and beautiful side face, her brow seemed to be wrinkled, and there were tears left in the corners of her eyes. Is it homesick? Or do you have other things on your mind? Every time Jiang Xu wants to ask something related to her, she will spit and push it away.
No matter what trouble she has, Jiang Xu wants to help her. After her sister died, she stayed by his side. Since he can remember, Yue Yao is the second person he likes to get along with besides his sister.
Not long after he first saw her, when his sister had just died, he remembered her company, remembered that she made him laugh and make trouble with him, remembered that he only ignored her in a hurry, and she was angry and pouted and followed the cuteness.
Along the way, he liked her kindness and bravery, her figure in Luohe Village from the beginning to the last moment, her gentleness in taking care of others when she met poor people on the road, and her cute appearance after watching her fall asleep.
Now, he wanted to have her by his side all the way. He couldn't protect his sister, and he had to protect her. She said that she wanted to be a heroine and get rid of injustices. If he can take revenge and she doesn't dislike it, he is willing to accompany her for the rest of his life.
Revenge, he got revenge!
Jiang Xu retracted his mind, sat cross-legged, and began to absorb the true qi of heaven and earth. Jiang Xu realized that he was already very close to the Martial Sect, but it was much more difficult for the Spirit Sect to reach the Spirit Sect. As long as he reaches the realm of martial arts and cooperates with his Tai Chi artistic conception, he may be able to defeat the eldest grandson of Wu Bao in the Lang Evil Academy. However, I still don't know which palace gate in the academy it is, so I still have to get enough contribution points as soon as possible, and when I worship the teacher after I have the identity of the green robe, I may know his whereabouts. Jiang Xu looked at his backpack, although it was full of precious things of third-order fierce beasts, but I am afraid that it was still not enough, and he had to find another way......
At this time, there seemed to be a whimpering sound in the depths of the forest, and there was a dangerous area inside, and there was a possibility that a fourth-order demon beast might appear at any time. Jiang Xu didn't want to care about it, but this whimpering sound seemed to be full of despair, and it also caused a trace of resonance in his heart and blood! Jiang Xu set up several layers of traps around the fire, and if a demon beast approached, it would trigger a mechanism to wake up Yue Yao.
Jiang Xu tidied up his outfit and walked alone into the depths of the dark forest......
