Chapter 127: Poison on the Knife
Tao Yao walked into the blue whirlpool, and felt that the world was spinning, and the whole person involuntarily flipped in it. Although she no longer has cultivation, fortunately, she has trained her physical fitness enough in the high-intensity task of picking up shells, otherwise, I am afraid that she would have died on the road before she passed through this tunnel that can cross time and space.
It was a long road, and she didn't know the time, or day or night. Just as she began to wonder if she would be able to make it through, she finally stopped flipping. The blue light slowly faded. She shook her head and found that it was still underwater, "Could it be that I chose the wrong one? How can I still be in the water?" But this underwater seems to be different from the underwater of the Huai River, and then looking at the distance, there seems to be a patch of pink. Pink?Peach Yao slowly swam over, showing a surprised smile, and the pink in front of him was the underwater peach forest that Chi had made with his own branches. "Great, I'm back!" she danced excitedly under the peach tree, all her efforts were not in vain, although there were many ups and downs in this life, but God did not completely abandon her, but still gave her hope. At the moment, she felt that it was all worth it.
After a while, she thought of the senior brothers and sisters of Fanghu Mountain, and thought of Mo Li, so she quickly swam to the shore.
After getting ashore, she wanted to run back as soon as possible, but who knew that she would fly as she ran. She was lucky to find that her cultivation had returned, and it was deeper than her previous cultivation. It seems that she did not lose her cultivation because she forcibly changed her life against the sky, but because she was suppressed by the chaotic time and space. And her cultivation is deepening now, which must have something to do with what Mrs. Koi asked her to do. It's just that I have accepted such a big favor from her, but I don't have a chance to repay her well.
She flew to the mountain gate, grabbed a junior brother and asked, "Senior Brother Moli, are they on the mountain?"
The little junior brother was stunned for a moment when he saw Senior Sister Taoyao, who he hadn't seen for a long time, and only replied after a while, "Yes, yes!"
"Great!" Tao Yao's heart was finally put down, before she disappeared, although the big crisis passed, but I didn't know if Mo Li was out of danger or not, now that I heard that they were on the mountain, I knew that they must have escaped.
She galloped all the way to the outside of Mo Li's yard, just in time to see Mo Li push the door out, her eyes were full of joy, great, he was really fine.
It's just that before the smile could bloom, she saw Ximei who came out with him behind Mo Li.
"You, you?"
As the big disciple of Fanghu Mountain, everyone has their own independent courtyard. How could Ximei come out of Mo's room in such an early morning? How could she come out of his room? She didn't even believe her eyes.
"We're together!" it was Ximei who spoke, and she took Mo Li's arm.
Mo Li frowned, but he didn't refuse, and he didn't even refute what Ximei said.
"Senior Sister Taoyao, are you back?"
"Senior Sister Tao Yao?" just these four words made Tao Yao's tears fall unconsciously, and her heart was like a knife. She was trapped in the chaos of time and space, confused, and had shed tears of sadness when she was most helpless, but she had never been so desperate as she was at this moment. She collected the shells of a whole river in the Huaishui River, and ripped out all the pearls with her hands, those sharp shells left more or less scars on her hands, turning a pair of green and jade hands into the devastation they are now, and she only sighed a few times, and never felt the pain of cutting flesh like this now.
When she thought that she had crossed the chaotic time and space and could finally return to him, she was shocked to find that there was already another person by his side, and she had also changed from his little Tao Yao to Tao Yao's junior sister. The reality is ironically ridiculous. Ironically, she just wanted to cry.
Compared with Ximei's words, Mo Li's non-denial, and this Taoyao junior sister is more convincing. But Tao Yao still couldn't believe it. Didn't you say yes, that you will not change for the rest of your life? Why? Why is this happening? Why is it Ximei? Could it be that those so-called vows are just sweet words when you and I are nong, and with the passage of time, they have become poison stained on the edge of the knife, but why is she the only one who is poisoned?
At this time, Yue Yao heard the juniors on the mountain say that Tao Yao was back, so she hurried over. It's just that it's still too late, so Tao Yao saw this scene.
When Tao Yao saw Yue Yao coming, it was like grasping the last straw.
"Senior Sister Yueyao, what does Ximei mean when she says that they are together? It's not what I thought, right?"
Tao Yao looked at Yue Yao with that longing look, hoping to hear another version of the truth from Yue Yao's mouth, hoping that Yue Yao would tell her that none of this was true.
Yue Yao knew that this matter was too cruel for Tao Yao. She has always known Tao Yao's thoughts about Moli, no, it should be said that there is nothing in the entire Fanghu Mountain that no one does not know. She watched Tao Yao pay a little bit for Moli, and saw that in the end, the two promised each other for life, but she didn't expect that it would become what it is now in just a few years. But she understands that since Tao Yao has seen the truth, if she hides these cruel truths with those hypocritical lies, it will only be Tao Yao who will be hurt in the end. Since pain is inevitable, then it is better to choose a long pass than a short pain.
"No, they're double cultivating!"
"No, it can't be, how can this be?" Tao Yao staggered away, ran back to the halfway point of Fanghu Mountain, and planted himself back in the soil. "I must have been too injured and hallucinating. It's definitely not what I've just seen. Yes, I must have been too badly injured. I cultivated for a while, and everything was normal. ”
Although Tao Yao planted himself back in the soil, because of his unstable breath, he looked like a peach tree for a while, and looked like a person for a while.
Such a peach made Yueyao's heart tighten.
"Tao Yao, don't be like this, there has been an abnormality since he came back last time. His memory was skewed, and he thought it was Ximei who saved him. You also know what Ximei has always thought about him. ”
"Why? Why is this happening? Even if he really thought that Ximei had saved him, there was always another way to repay him. Why, why two people should be together. Ah......" Tao Yao's long cry was heartbreaking, and the peach blossoms full of trees instantly withered and decayed, falling to the ground one by one.
Yueyao knew that it was not just the peach blossoms that withered and fell in this instant, but her heart that was torn apart by reality.
Tao Yao turned back into human form and sat on the ground, looking lonely and desperate.
"Senior sister, do you know, why did I disappear?"
"Why?" this is what Yue Yao has always wanted to ask. Tao Yao's disappearance is too bizarre and has become a secret that cannot be mentioned in this Fang Hushan. Although Master Bo Yan calculated one or two, he was also secretive. And all they know is that Tao Yao is not dead.
"At the beginning, someone set up a trapped immortal array in Fuyang Mountain, but we didn't find out because we were fighting against the demon cultivators wholeheartedly. Eventually, everyone was trapped there, unable to escape. I have no choice but to use the moonlight treasure box given to me by the Lu Zhudao people to forcibly reverse time and space and go back to the past. Destroy the Eye of the Trapped Immortal Array before it is activated. Only in this way can we all be spared. And the price of changing my life is that I will disappear in this plane and fall into a distorted plane. I spent hundreds of years there before I finally came back here. ”
"Hundreds of years? But you'll only be gone for a few years. ”
"Do you know how I spent hundreds of years there? For the first hundred years, I was trying to find a way back. In that chaotic time and space, I lived the same life, saw the same people, and said the same things every day. I know what's going to happen every minute, but there's nothing I can do to change it. I'm like an outsider, but I'm an insider. Later, I finally met someone different, and she told me how to come back. But there, all my cultivation was suppressed, and I could only use my hands to collect pearls as money to buy a way to ward off evil spirits. ”
At this time, Yue Yao noticed that Tao Yao's hands on her legs, those slender jade hands that were as white as green onions, were now covered with scars, dense, new and old. She gently covered her hand over Tao Yao's hand, and she could even feel a little prickly. It's hard to imagine how Taoyao has survived these hundreds of years. Although Tao Yao said those things, she felt a little unbelievable, but she just believed that what Tao Yao said was absolutely true.
"But when I thought that everything was going to be bitter, God gave me such a blow. Hehe, it's ridiculous!" Tao Yao grinned. It's just that the smile is full of bitterness.
"Tao Yao, you must cheer up, Senior Brother Qingfeng, he ...... for you" Yue Yao wanted to speak and stopped.
Tao Yao saw Yueyao's appearance of wanting to speak and stopped, and couldn't help asking, "Senior Brother Qingfeng, what's wrong with him?" Qingfeng has always taken good care of her, and she is like a relative.
"Senior brother, for you, he turned white overnight. The master didn't know where you had gone, so the senior brother kept wandering in order to find you, three mountains and five mountains, and the universe. Since you disappeared, you have never returned to Fanghu Mountain. ”
"Senior brother, he ......," Tao Yao choked up again. Qingfeng has always been the most proud disciple of Master Boyan, but he didn't expect to have no place to live for himself.
Over there, after Yueyao chased Tao Yao down the mountain, Mo Li felt a little strange.
"What's wrong with Tao Yao?"
"I don't know what's wrong with her, maybe it's because she just came back and she's a little tired!" Ximei naturally knew what Tao Yao was, but she pretended not to know anything.
"Oh. How's your leg, does it still hurt?"
"It's nothing, it's been like this since I came back from Fuyang Mountain, and I'm used to it. Ximei said indifferently.
"Come, I'll help you to sit down over there. Mo Li helped Ximei, slowly walked to the stone table under the tree, and sat down to rest together.
