Chapter 27: Making Friends
In the gloomy dungeon, it was pitch black all around, Xin Zhi got up from the ground, walked to the side and looked at the thin iron fence in front of her, was silent for a while, opened her five fingers to hold the cold iron bar, and struggled to pull it to both sides to pull it open.
She tried her best, but no matter how hard she tried, the iron railing still didn't move.
For a long time, she let go of her fingers and then clenched them, and switched to a hard fist and smashed it hard.
"Bang, bangβ"
Again and again, except for the last time when she almost injured Shen Fei, who violated the rules of not hurting her master and was severely punished, she didn't feel pain the rest of the time. After a long time, she didn't stop until she found that the bones in her hand joints were broken.
Looking at the shattered joint cover, a wisp of demonic qi invisibly overflowed from it, recalling that the previous ghost cultivators forcibly sucked out more than half of the demonic qi in their bodies, causing a coma, she decided that she couldn't hurt her body anymore.
Xin Zhi has no ability to repair, and if she is injured, she will be injured, and the demonic qi will only leak more and more from these injuries.
From the very beginning, he was stabbed by Shen Fei in Tieqiu Mountain, and then he was slapped by the left protector, and he was burned by the slight Xuanhuo whip, and then although he took Shen Fei's Spiritual Pill to recover a lot of demonic energy, he also consumed a lot in the subsequent battle, and was sucked by the ghost cultivator just now, and now Xin Zhi rarely feels that his hands and feet are weak, and he is still dizzy after exerting too much force.
Shen Fei... If Shen Fei finds out that he is gone, he will definitely be anxious... No, she had to find a way to get back to him. But how can I get out? Where is this?
She simply sat on the ground and thought about it, by the way, to stop the demonic qi from leaking out too quickly. Zhu Tangtang also woke up, he was stunned for a moment when he saw the scene around him, and then saw Xin Zhi's back, as if he had grabbed the backbone, turned over and quickly crawled to her side, pulled the mud-stained pink sleeves tightly, and said with tears in his eyes, "What should I do... What are we going to do......"
"Why did they arrest Prince Ben......"
He is still a little Jiao, although he has a bad temper and can't control his mouth, he has never done anything bad, and he will occasionally be bullied by other Jiao.
Those people ask for themselves by name, did he do something bad without knowing it?
"No......"
After thinking about it for a long time, Zhu Tangtang couldn't remember what he had done to offend the ghost cultivator.
Didn't you catch the wrong Jiao? He thought, but those people clearly wanted to be "princes". He is the only prince in this world...... The more he thought about it, the more sad he became, his nose was sore, and he cried again.
Tears kept falling like beads, he tugged on his pink sleeve and wiped his nose, the dirt stained his whole face, the fair-skinned little boy became a coal bag, Xin Zhi pursed his lips and looked at him, and only after someone wiped it was almost done, did he take back his sleeve sullenly.
He sniffled for a while, and saw the person next to him pinching his sleeves and burying his head in silence. The gouache sleeves were stuck with his own tears and snot, and it looked really filthy. Zhu Tangtang was a little embarrassed, looked at her with red eyes, wanted to apologize but couldn't say it, swallowed his saliva for a long time, and said, "Your clothes are too long, and they don't look good, what kind of color are they... Wait... The prince went out and asked his father to buy you a room full of new clothes...... A variety of colors, and the most popular embroidery ......"
It's really not that he is too talkative, Xin Zhi's clothes are not white or pink in color, at first glance, they look like the cloth in the town, they have precious shark weaving in the East China Sea, colorful jewelry, and they have long stopped wearing this kind of fabric. If it weren't for Xin Zhi's good temperament and the fact that she seemed to be quite beautiful, I am afraid that it would be rustic if she was replaced by another person.
Thinking of his father, Zhu Tangtang looked at the iron fences around him, and his heart was sad. Now that he has been arrested, he still doesn't know if he can go out, thinking that he is afraid that he will never see his father again, his eyes are red again.
He raised his head and looked at the woman not far from him, slowly bent down, and when he saw that she was not disgusted, he leaned on her arm. He experienced a thrilling fight, and now he is tired of crying, his whole body is physically and mentally exhausted, Xin Zhi's body is very hard, and there is a faint fishy smell, but at this time, it makes him extremely relieved.
His gaze swept over the hood, and the Sugar Ghost lifted the veil to look at the mask and asked, "Ziyang said you are a demon corpse?" β
Seeing that Xin Zhi didn't react, thinking that she had never dared to show her true face, thinking that she had uncovered her secret and made people unhappy, she hurriedly said, "I... I don't mean to dislike you.... I just didn't expect to be with the demon corpse in the end......" I felt that the more I said, the more wrong it became, I blushed in a hurry, raised my body and looked at Xin Zhi and said seriously,
"I... In fact, I have always had a secret, and I haven't even told my father. β
He didn't even say "Prince Ben", he probably wouldn't be able to get out anyway, and it was not interesting to ask for these honorific titles, so he propped himself up, approached her and said seriously, "I want to go to A-Niang...... I haven't seen her in years. β
Hearing this, Xin Zhicai turned her face to look at him sideways and tilted her head curiously. Seeing that she finally reacted, Zhu Tangtang hurriedly continued, "Father said that A-Niang has traveled in the South China Sea, and I want to go to her," and then took out a carefully and neatly folded piece of paper from his arms, opened it and saw that there were many words densely written on it.
Xin Zhi looked at it carefully, and saw that it recorded in detail the necessary items for travel, the route from the East China Sea to the capital and so on. Zhu Tangtang said, "I've thought about it, I've bought all the things in the ghost market this time, I'll leave when I find a chance, I'm going to Nanhai to find her." β
He touched Xin Zhi with his elbow, "You see, now we are brothers in life and death, if we have the opportunity to go out, we will go to the South China Sea." He was afraid that the demon corpse would have concerns, and said, "I am the prince of the Jiao clan, and no one dares to bully you."
Xin Zhi still listened quietly, and shook her head lightly after finishing, Zhu Tangtang saw that she didn't want to be with her, and she had a feeling of abandonment, her nose was sore, and her eyes were red again.
He was in the East China Sea, and he had never seen a demon corpse, but he had heard others talk about this kind of corpse that was manipulated. But now that I saw it, I found that it was not as terrifying as described.
The demon corpse who was with him could understand the words and was strong in martial arts, except for the appearance and taste that reminded each other of their different identities, the rest were no different.
The two of them didn't stay together for long, and Xin Zhi protected him all the way, and he didn't think he was burdensome, so he was still a little dependent from the fear at the beginning to the trust now.
He stared at Xin Zhi, under the bronze mask, the fox fur scarf that had been messy from the previous fight was loosened, revealing the scar on his neck, Zhu Tangtang was stunned for a moment, then put his hand on the wound, and lowered his voice, "You... I haven't been talking, is it because of this injury?"
Xin Zhi nodded, since she was reborn, she has been disliked, feared and even malicious by many people around her, but she couldn't feel it on Zhu Tangtang, so she didn't care, let him lie on her body and caress the wound on her neck, afraid that someone would fall, so she grabbed it, one big and one small depended on each other in the dark.
Zhu Tangtang opened the fox skin scarf, and all the wounds were exposed, and the upturned scabs were bloodshot, which made people get goosebumps when they looked at it. Perhaps Xiao Jiao was used to seeing the blood of the clansmen preying on demon beasts since he was a child, and he quickly calmed down, and he didn't react as much to the injury on his neck as he did before. On the contrary, he was too curious.
The female demon corpse that stopped her was not only powerful, but also understood what she was saying.
Zhu Tangtang is still very proud on weekdays, except for his father and Ziyang, other friends don't pay much attention to him in private. Xin Zhi is not only good-tempered, but also very patient, and she will not talk back like other people, Zhu Tangtang really likes this new partner more and more.
"It's okay, when you go out, I'll accompany you to find a way to restore your appearance, do you know the East China Sea, it's big there, I heard my father say that the island above is secluded and has all kinds of powerful cultivators, let's go to them and think of a way,"
He squinted, the little milk voice was soft and cute, Xin Zhi couldn't help but lower her head and leaned next to his face to take a beating, and then shook her head.
"You don't want to? Why? If there's anything to do, I'll be waiting for you in the East China Sea......"
Hearing this, Xin Zhi was stunned and didn't know how to respond.
If he hadn't formed a contract with Shen Fei, maybe he would have gotten down, but now Shen Fei is still waiting for her, and he hasn't forgotten the original intention of looking for memories.
Before she died, she was full of holes, and her death was tragic, if she just closed her eyes, it would be okay, but God played a joke on her, and she was inexplicably reborn back. It has become this picture of no one and no ghost.
When she was in Mingxin Sect before, Xin Zhi was very envious when she saw Shen Fei and them getting together.
She also wants to talk with her friends, and although she can't speak, she listens very carefully. Shen Fei Qinglang, although they no longer mind, they only regard themselves as a very capable spirit pet.
Xin Zhi knew that she would never fit in and become friends with them.
Shen Fei is very strong, and he will cultivate into Yuanying or even more powerful power in the future, she is just a demon corpse who is looked at everywhere, and they are destined to part ways. When the time comes, he will meet a stronger demon spirit pet, and he will find an isolated place to hide, and live alone until the demonic energy is exhausted.
She came alone with ignorance and fragmented memories, and she would leave alone in the future. If she is destined to be alone, she hopes to be able to find the memories of her life, at least to know what she was like, who was around, what she did and what she said. Instead of living as a walking dead like now.
Looking at Zhu Tangtang's aggrieved little face, Xin Zhi stretched out her hand and stroked his tender skin, and gestured with her other hand to tell him that when she finished what she had to do, she would go to him.
Xiao Jiao was stunned for a moment, thinking that he had seen it wrong, but he held the hand wearing the protective gear and hurriedly asked, "You... You promised? β
Nodding in response, when Shen Fei retrieved his memory, he discussed with him to terminate the contract, and then went to the East China Sea to find Xiao Jiao.
She was so lonely, Zhu Tangtang's eyes were clean and simple, and Xin Zhi felt that they could become friends.
"Great!"
Zhu Tangtang raised his hands, put his arms around Xin Zhi's neck and said, "I'll wait for you... Hurry up......"
"Bang-"
There was a sound of rustling outside the prison door, Zhu Tangtang was startled, and quickly hid behind Xin Zhi and hugged her tightly, "Are you here to kill me.... Woohoo......"
In the dark passage, there was only the sound of the wind blowing, the silence was frightening, Xiao Jiao's heart was in his throat, he lowered his head and buried his whole head in Xin Zhi's back, trying to let this thin body block himself.
Xin Zhi stood up his back, motionless like a stone, and looked at the burly ghost cultivator guard in front of him without fear, his dark gray face, and his scarlet mouth cracked, "The city lord has invited His Royal Highness the Prince." β
Zhu Tangtang's scalp was numb, and he grabbed Xin Zhi and cried, "I'm not going!" I don't want to leave here! β
Xin Zhi forcibly held the person beside him, but when he saw Ghost Xiu sneering and floating in front of him, he stretched out a finger and put it on his forehead, and in an instant, the demonic qi all over his body flowed backwards and leaked out wildly!
She was dizzy, her body was weak, she fell to the ground, her hands lost strength, and she saw Xiao Jiao being taken away, but she couldn't do anything.
Xin Zhi stared indifferently at Ghost Xiu's indifferent face, holding back the fear in her heart, this person... Can you directly drain her demonic energy?
