Meng Zhihuan braved the scorching sun and slowly dug out the sand in the spring little by little with branches and hands. When the fingers were swollen and bleeding, and the physical strength had been exhausted, I finally felt a trace of wetness from the sand on the fingertips. After digging a few more times, I finally saw a murky stream of water seeping out of the sand, and the water level slowly climbed upward, gradually forming a small handful of spring water.

When the sand layer is too thick for the water pressure to seep out, the spring water disappears, and the original spring water is quickly drained by the action of air drying, and the spring water can only be re-dug deep enough to reappear.

After resting for a while, the spring water gradually settled and cleared, Meng Zhihuan picked up a handful of spring water, drank it greedily, and then returned to the wooden house, relying on candied fruit to replenish a large amount of lost physical strength.

But the candied fruit with high sugar and salt made Meng Zhihuan feel more and more thirsty, so she had to drink a lot of water, and poured a stomach full of water under hunger, which was extremely uncomfortable.

finally survived this day, Meng Zhihuan had no food, and because she drank too much water, she felt very uncomfortable.

When she woke up in the morning, Meng Zhihuan found that the spring was blocked again, although this time it was not as serious as yesterday, but it was very shocking. In desperation, Meng Zhihuan could only work again and clean up the spring. After doing this, Meng Zhihuan found that she had no food, and there would be no ready-made food here.

Meng Zhihuan decided to save her strength and wait for the fire cloud to arrive. She knew that Luo Han and Huoyun would not let her die, and her physique was good, even if she didn't eat, she could support herself for several days with water.

In the next few days, Meng Zhihuan chose to lie motionless in the wooden house, but at this time, a more uncomfortable thing gradually occupied Meng Zhihuan's heart. Loneliness, the endless desert, no one can talk to her, for Meng Zhihuan, who is lively by nature, she can bear it for a day or two, but after a long time, and in a situation of hunger and thirst, this loneliness is simply doubly tortured, so that she began to hallucinate, and sometimes when she woke up, she would find herself outside the oasis.

Under multiple predicaments, Meng Zhihuan felt that she was about to collapse.

Finally, a fire cloud flew from the sky, and the fire cloud pushed open the door, and saw Meng Zhihuan lying on the bed with a haggard look, and was surprised: "Miss Zhihuan, why are you like this?" ”

Meng Zhihuan moved her mouth, but did not say a word. Huoyun hurriedly took out the kettle and poured a few mouthfuls for Meng Zhihuan, and then took out a few dough cakes to break and feed to Meng Zhihuan. Meng Zhihuan chewed hard a few times and finally spoke: "The original ...... Originally...... No...... Fantasy...... Hallucination. ”

"Don't move yet, eat a few more bites, and recover your strength." Huoyun continued to feed the broken dough to Meng Zhihuan, and when she finished eating, she went to dig the spring again, waited for the water to settle, and then used a kettle to make a pot of water and come back, and wet a towel to help Meng Zhihuan wash her face.

"Brother Huoyun, you're finally here. If you don't come again, I'm going to go crazy if I don't starve. Meng Zhihuan, who had regained some strength, said with some crying: "I am cold and hungry these days, and then I don't have the strength to dig the spring, and I don't even have water to drink." All day except for the sound of the wind at night, the only thing was the rustle of rats and ants crawling in the sand, and I sometimes felt that those things were gnawing at my feet and gnawing at my hands, turning me into a skeleton little by little. ”

Huoyun touched Meng Zhihuan's head lovingly, and said softly: "I knew this was the case, why did I bother in the first place? ”

Meng Zhihuan grabbed Huoyun's hand and begged pitifully, "Brother Huoyun, will you take me out of here?" Can you bear to watch me, a delicate little woman, suffer like this here? ”

Huoyun shook his head: "Unless you help us get the Seven-Leaf Mandala, I won't be able to take you away." This matter is very important to me, and the cold wind is also helping me, and I can't live up to the cold wind's kindness just because I am soft-hearted. ”

Meng Zhihuan pursed her lips and said, "Didn't I already tell you?" As long as you find the news of that person, you will have a chance to get the Seven Leaves Mandala. In addition, Master Meng Po has nothing else that needs your help, how can he give you a seven-leaf mandala? ”

Huoyun shook his head: "But Hanfeng doesn't believe it." Why don't I ask him to come and talk to you? ”

Meng Zhihuan thought of Luo Han, and suddenly felt a chill rising from behind, in her eyes, the cold wind is a model of ruthlessness, viciousness and unscrupulousness, let him talk to him, whether he can deceive or not, the bitterness must be indispensable. At that moment, Meng Zhihuan shook his head: "It's better not to, he will definitely take the opportunity to bully me." ”

Huoyun saw that Meng Zhihuan had regained some of his spirits, put the package behind him on the table and said, "I still have something to do, there is some food here, you can save some food." I reckon that if you refuse to compromise, the cold wind will not let you go, and will torment you even harder. Hello do it yourself. ”

"Wait a minute, Brother Huoyun." Meng Zhihuan stopped Huoyun and said with a bitter face, "Can you give me more food?" These things simply can't be eaten for a few days. Why don't you come early next time? ”

Huoyun said helplessly: "This is not good, if you let Han Feng know that I help you like this, he will be angry, after all, he is here to help me." I advise you to think about it, and if you don't want to suffer any more, tell me how to get the Seven Leaves Mandala earlier. ”

Huoyun left, Meng Zhihuan opened the package, and there was some dry food inside, which could last a few days, but if she wanted to be full, she would have to be hungry for a few more days.

Meng Zhihuan lay down on the wooden bed, pressed her forehead with her right hand, her eyes were hollow, and she began to think about what to do. As a smart person, she knew that it was basically impossible to escape from the desert on her own, and it was a cage without fences. As for telling them the right way? Of course, there are methods, but they are very unfavorable to herself, and she will not exchange them for freedom unless she has to. But this kind of day is not what she worked so hard to come out to want.

"Something has to be done to get out of here. You bastard, sooner or later, this girl wants you to look good. ”

Five days later, Huoyun came to the oasis again and found Meng Zhihuan not in the wooden house. shouted everywhere to search, and finally found Meng Zhihuan unconscious under a poplar tree.

Huoyun carried Meng Zhihuan back to the wooden house, feeding and watering, but Meng Zhihuan just couldn't wake up.

Huoyun was anxious and muttered to himself, "What the hell is going on? Isn't it going to be physically broken? What can I do? ”

Although Huoyun has some medical knowledge, it is also mostly used for first aid, and it is helpless against this kind of illness that is unconscious no matter what. In desperation, Huoyun decided to take Meng Zhihuan to see Lang Zhong.

picked Meng Zhihuan up, and the fire clouds drove away. The corners of Meng Zhihuan's mouth in Huoyun's arms rose slightly, and the plan was successfully implemented.

About half an hour later, Meng Zhihuan felt the fire cloud fall to the ground, and then heard a kick on the door, and then heard an old man's voice: "Hurry up, put it here." What's going on? ”

Huoyun said anxiously: "I don't know what's wrong, she can't wake up." ”

"Let the old man see." Then Meng Zhihuan felt two fingers on her pulse. After a while, the old man said: "The pulse is slightly weak, but it is not disordered, it should be a weak constitution, and it is said that it will not be unconscious." ”

Huoyun said: "What did I lie to you for?" I can't wake up anyway, something must be wrong. ”

The old man said, "Don't worry, don't worry. The old man has seen a lot of diseases like this, and it would be good to have acupuncture. ”

Huoyun hurriedly said: "Will there be sequelae?" ”

The old man said: "It's just acupuncture to stimulate it, if you have to talk about the sequelae, it will be very painful." But it's better to hurt than not to wake up. Hold her down, the old man is about to administer the needle. ”

"Why hold it down?"

"If the pain wakes up, the patient will struggle frantically, and if he doesn't hold the needle, he will easily move, and he may die if he stabs somewhere else."

Meng Zhihuan scolded this old man in her heart, and for the sake of freedom, she could only secretly grit her teeth.

At this time, Huoyun pressed her collarbone with one hand, and her abdomen with the other, and then something pierced into Meng Zhihuan's ribs, Meng Zhihuan instantly tensed her body, and the intense pain made her facial muscles twist and her teeth creak, but she still insisted on not moving.

Huoyun was puzzled: "This doesn't seem to work, I still haven't woken up." ”

The old man didn't believe in heresy: "It doesn't make sense." No, the old man will change places again, this time it will be more ruthless than just now, I don't believe it. Look at the needle! ”

"Don't!" Meng Zhihuan is not stupid, if she really wants to toss like this, she has to be played badly, so she simply has a showdown with Huoyun, and then impresses Huoyun with pity and lets herself go.

But when Meng Zhihuan opened her eyes, she was stupid, how could there be any old man? Standing in front of him with a needle as thick as a hairpin was Luo Han at all, and Huoyun was helpless.

"Keep pretending, I'm just getting started, and I haven't pierced enough." Luo Han sneered, which made Meng Zhihuan very unhappy.

"What is there to be proud of as a big man, bullying me, a weak woman?" Meng Zhihuan pouted, and tears immediately came out, I don't know if I was holding back too hard just now.

Luo Han said indifferently: "It's not that I want to bully you, it's that you yourself are unwilling to be honest." I've seen through these little tricks of yours a long time ago. Okay, since you're not pretending to be dizzy, it's time for me to go. There will be a period later. ”

Seeing Luo Han going out, Meng Zhihuan hurriedly leaned left and right, not surprisingly, this is still an oasis cabin, but the bed is covered with a blanket, and it feels different when she sleeps.

Meng Zhihuan looked at Huoyun with teary eyes: "Brother Huoyun, are you just teaming up with him to bully me?" Can you bear it? ”

Huoyun smiled bitterly: "I can't help it, I was originally going to take you to the doctor, but when I met him on the way, he gestured for me to go with him, and I didn't expect him to do this." But isn't it wrong for you to lie to me like this? In vain I pity you, but you take advantage of my compassion. If you run away, I'll ...... I...... I'm dying. ”

Meng Zhihuan was surprised: "He still dares to kill you?" ”

Huoyun lamented, "Of course he won't kill me. But I'm going to fight hard soon, the other party is the famous Monkey King, if I can't refine it into an elixir to improve my strength, I will die this time. ”

"Monkey King? Is that the Monkey King who made a big fuss in the underworld more than 500 years ago? ”

"Not bad."

"Why are you desperate for him?"

Huoyun walked to the door, sat down with his back to Meng Zhihuan, and said quietly: "I was originally a Heavenly Court Immortal, but I was demoted to mortal for violating the rules of heaven and became a monster. Over the years, I have been thinking about returning to Heaven and re-enlisting the Immortal Class. But the only way for me to return to Heaven is to build the Tower of Babel. Over the years, I have worked hard to finally complete the construction of the Tower of Babel, and now only the last material is missing, which is the luck of the Tang monk Jin Cicada who learned scriptures from the west. If I can't get it this time, I can only be a monster for the rest of my life, and I can't become an immortal forever. In order to succeed, I have to do it, even if Tang Seng has Monkey King, Marshal Tianpeng, and General Rolling Shutter by his side. Even if I die, I won't give up. ”

Although Meng Zhihuan is smart, she can't tell the difference, and she can't help but feel more sympathy for Huoyun, the "kind-hearted" big brother.

"Brother Huoyun...... If...... If the seven-leaf mandala is really so important to you......" Meng Zhihuan hesitated a little: "You are very good to me, I see it in my eyes and remember it in my heart." Since this matter is related to your life and death, then okay, I am willing to help you get the seven-leaf mandala. ”

Huoyun was overjoyed, turned his head and asked, "What you said is true?" ”

Meng Zhihuan smiled bitterly: "Otherwise? You're so good to me, how can I bear to let you die? Besides, if I don't cooperate all the time, he will definitely make me suffer all the time. ”

"Great." Huo Yunxi said: "Then how can I get the Seven-Leaf Mandala?" ”

Meng Zhihuan said: "It's very simple, steal." ”

"Steal?" Huoyun was a little puzzled.

"You let me go, I'll go back and steal the seven-leaf mandala for you. What else could it be? I said before that you want to go to that person, but you don't want to, although Master Meng Po has a lot of it, it is not something that can be given away casually. ”

"This ...... I'm going to talk to the cold wind. ”

Meng Zhihuan waved her hand and said, "Go ahead." You tell him that there is nothing else but this way, and if he doesn't believe me, I'll kill me. ”

Huoyun went out and found Luo Han, who was enjoying the shade under the tree.

"She told us to let her go, and she went back to steal. If this is released, won't it be a chicken and an egg? ”

Luo Han thought about it, but shook his head: "Whoever said it, let it go." wants to fight with me, the little girl is still a little tender. Don't mix this matter for the time being, go and prepare the materials, find a secluded place, and I'll do alchemy when the time comes. ”

"Can you do it? Or together? At least she had a better impression of me. ”

", you've completed the task, she thinks you're good, whether you go or not. It's the same if I don't miss your good. I'll meet her. ”

Luo Han entered the house, looked at Meng Zhihuan, and said, "It's impossible to let you go, but I can go back with you." ”

"You're not afraid of me being exposed?"

"I'm afraid, but I'm exposing you at the same time as your death. After all, I can crush you with a single finger. ”

"Hmph, what kind of man is bullying and bullying the weak?"

Luo Han shrugged: "Do you think it's a man, unless you're willing to give it a try." Okay, let's hit the road, time waits for no one. ”

Ignoring Meng Zhihuan's disgust, Luo Han picked it up with one hand, walked out of the room, and jumped on the flying sword.
