Chapter 45: The Midi

With a flick of his fingers, the banks of the Blood River at the Heavenly Boundary Ferry were covered with dark clouds and pitch black.

The sudden darkness made Burning String, Suzaku, and me suddenly vigilant. The three of us stood face to face in a triangle, glowing flames, Lingguang bows, and cold moons, each shining brightly and ready to go.

"Hiss......" The terrible sound of a snake spitting out a letter came from behind me quietly, but clearly.

Burning String and Suzaku stared at me with wide eyes, staring at me deadly, and between the lightning and flint, Burning String had already swept me to his side with a blast of wind.

In an instant, Suzaku drew his bow and stepped to the other side of me, and the three of us immediately formed a formation facing the direction of the snake letter. They sandwiched me in the middle, and we were close together, not daring to make a sound, trying to find the exact position of our opponent in the dark.

In the black fog not far away, two large lanterns with red glows slowly lit up, the lights were strange, the erection of the oval, the two thin slits in the middle of the purple, did not shy away from showing a cold and fierce light!

"What is it?" Suzaku asked us in a very soft voice.

"It's the eyes!"

We nervously looked at the two lanterns that were getting closer and closer, and Suzaku-kun's voice was filled with a hint of fear, and said, "It may be a flame snake." ”

Flame Snake, one of the four protectors of the Yanyi Clan?

I was surprised, "Isn't that guy locked up in a prison?"

Suzaku hurriedly said: "I don't know how she came out, but she is very old and her cultivation is extremely high." It is said that in the Demon Realm, her spiritual power is second only to Yan Lie, and even the phoenix is not her opponent. Because she is a woman, she is unwilling to be a great protector and voluntarily ranks under the phoenix, you must be careful. ”

"No matter how powerful it is, wasn't it still imprisoned in the prison before? Blazing String said lightly.

"On that day, the heavenly soldiers came prepared, and they brought the midi of the goddess of Mengji to drop her, and we ...... this time."

Midi, I think it is a very powerful flute, I once saw in the dust viewing mirror, there is a place called Tianzhu in the mortal world, where people use flutes to domesticate snakes.

"So what are we going to do now?"

"You put on your cloak first. ”

.......

The two sides confronted each other, the enemy did not move, I did not move, and several of us almost held our breath.

The two lanterns got closer and closer, and a hot wind rushed through them, choking people's noses with an overwhelming scorching fire.

The lanterns are getting closer and closer, and we are retreating step by step, and before we know it, we have been forced to the edge of the river of blood by the red lanterns, and there is no way to retreat!

"Whoosh", Suzaku Jun's Lingguang bow shot out a burning rocket, the arrow pierced into a lantern in front of him, the lantern was as if it was ignited, the flame spread, from top to bottom, in a blink of an eye, a giant snake full of flames, the lower body coiled, the upper body and the snake's head stood in the air, seven or eight feet above the ground, flashing with red snake eyes, looking down on our ground from above.

I don't know if it's an illusion, but I think her eyes are staring at me all the time.

The flaming serpent suddenly began to shake its head, skimming close in front of us, but not touching it, as if to scare us.

Then she raised the snake's head high, and there was a smug and terrifying laugh from her big mouth, a shrill woman's laughter......

Enraged, Blaze String stabbed the snake in the head, and the snake let out another laugh and dodged String's stab.

"Let's get out of here!" go and find the goddess Yumehime and take the midi to drop her again!" Suzaku called out urgently.

"Hahaha...... Ahaha......" The snake laughed even more exaggeratedly, and its body was shaking. We wondered how the flame on the serpent suddenly went out, and then there was darkness, and then the clouds dispersed a little and we could see something around us.

"Midi, does Suzaku-kun like to listen to the flute so much?"

The shrill voice startled us, and with this voice, a monster with a snake tail on the lower body and a woman on the upper body appeared in the mist in front of us, which was the flame snake!

"Suzaku-kun, why don't you let this Dharma Protector blow it to you, haha......" After the flame snake finished speaking, he really took out a horizontal flute and played it!

The flute sound was illusory, ethereal, and Suzaku was shocked: "Midi!"

The sky is thundering, I don't want the mortal world to be a person playing the flute to train the snake, now we are here for the snake to play the flute and descend to the immortals!

"Who wants to listen to you play the flute, accept it honestly, and follow Suzaku Jun back to the heavenly prison to stay!"

The snake ignored us and continued to play the flute, and after a while, I felt that something was wrong, and the various scenes in front of me kept switching, and gradually there was a sound—

"Why don't you believe me, and how have I ever hurt you?"

"I don't care if you still have him in your heart, and I don't disdain, as long as the last person who accompanies you is me, I will be content. ”

"Eight is enough, my life is you. ”

......

"This Nine Heavenly Realm, how should I settle you?"

"Only with me can you live. ”

"Ning'er, wait for me. ”

......

Chaotic, trance-like, I knew that I must have been bewitched by the sound of the flute of the flame serpent, so I forced myself to stay awake, turned the cold moon in my hand into a silver needle, and stabbed it into the forehead, a sharp stinging pain, dispelling all illusions.

I hurried to see the Burning String and Suzaku, who were about ten meters apart, and they were both lying on the ground with frightened faces, crawling with difficulty in the direction of the Blood River!

While crawling, I was still chanting words over and over again.

"Phoenix, don't go to the Demon Realm, come back!"

"Bingning, he may be dead, don't go look for him!"

Seeing that both of them were about to crawl into the river of blood, I was so frightened that I was covered in a cold sweat and turned my head to rush at the Flame Serpent to grab her flute, and she dodged it. Nervous and annoyed, I swung my hand and threw several ice cubes at the snake girl, the ice cubes were extremely fast, and one of them hit the midi in her hand, interrupting the flute sound.

The snake girl sneered, put away her midi, and walked slowly towards me, with a grim and meaningful smile on her face. Give somebody the creeps.

I hurriedly turned my head to look for the Burning Phoenix, both of whom had passed out at the edge of the river of blood, both of them still holding one hand in front of them, trying to grab something.

It's okay, it's good that I didn't fall into the river of blood...... I was exhausted and distraught, and I suddenly fell to the hard gravel floor.

The flame snake slowly moved in front of me, leaned down, a pair of demon eyes squinted slyly, and the red lips gently opened and closed like demagoguery: "It is worthy of the cold sky, the heart, it is really cold." ”

I looked up in dismay, her face was an exaggerated triangle, and her awl-like jaw was about to reach my forehead.

Seeing me glaring at her, the snake girl slowly straightened up again, looked at me condescendingly, and said coldly: "Within the Six Realms, no one has no weakness, and the ice fairy is so cold that he can easily break this midi music array, this protector, I am very impressed and admired." ”

Then, she threw the midi in front of me, evoking a wicked smile: "Please ask the ice fairy to give it back to Mengji for me, and thank you on my behalf." ”

After speaking, she did not turn her head back to the river of blood. After a while, a bright red ferrying turtle emerged from the river, easily moving onto the fiery red turtle shell, I clearly did not see the strange red ferrying turtle ask her any questions, nor did I see her say half a word to the turtle, so easily let her get on the turtle shell.

Aren't all ferrying turtles dark brown? Aren't all ferrying turtles based on secrets? She, who is very old, doesn't know what her relationship is with this strange red tortoise......

I picked up the midi on the ground and turned my head to look far away at the long-eyed strings along the river, remembering his call.

Am I really your weakness? Can I really trust you?
