Episode 5 No Return (15)

"Ah Yu, how are you?"
"I'm fine."
Zhu Xieyu wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth with the back of his hand, and also glared back at the giant python with the same vicious eyes, I hurriedly held his elbow to help him up, and then went to see the basilisk, in case it took the opportunity to attack.
The giant snake was also shaking its head and tail in mid-air at this time, and it had no time to take care of us, and it was very uncomfortable to be stuck by the spike in its mouth.
I looked at it, and the spike was the extremely hard brush I used to reach the door.
After a while, the basilisk stopped writhing, and seemed to no longer want to pay attention to the steel spikes in its mouth, and stood upright in mid-air, its eyes blazing fiercely, and it turned its attention to the two of us, as if it was planning to use its headbutt and tail sweep against us.
Zhu Xieyu hurriedly blocked me behind him, and his body was agitated, I only felt that his body was cold, his skin was even more pale without a trace of blood, but his lips were abnormally red, and his blue eyes were especially bright, like beasts. When I made contact with his arm, I actually felt that his internal strength and true qi were several times higher than just now.
"Yingying, you're here, don't move."
As soon as he finished speaking, the person was already like an arrow from the string, and the speed of his body was rare in the world, because it was too fast for my eyes to catch up with him, and I could only catch a string of tail shadows. Although the basilisk is also very flexible, in the end the body is too large, where can it compare to him between meandering and swimming, and after a moment of entanglement, the basilisk fell to the ground with a bang, and the four pairs of wings also fell at Zhu Xiyu's feet when he landed.
The giant snake saw that its bloody wings rolled into dust, how not to be angry, and swam on the spot, the momentum was fierce and unstoppable, seeing that the snake's head was about to hit again, Zhu Xieyu hugged me and jumped away from the attack, and stepped heavily on the top of the giant snake's head with the force of a 'jack fall'.
The top of the snake's head struggled for a while, and could only slap its tail everywhere, shaking the ground and shaking the stone chips, and the end of the pen tail of the snake mouth with an iron brush had pierced the snake's upper lip directly, and Zhu Xieyu and I saw the right time, and at the same time held the pen that had come out, and plucked up the internal force to nail down, and nailed one end of the pen head into the ground, which was considered to temporarily restrain the giant snake.
Just as we were breathing a sigh of relief, the snake's tail actually slapped at the two of us, and it seemed that it had already developed sex, and even if it died together, it would kill both of us first.
Zhu Xiyu pulled me to fly away from it, only to find that this basilisk is also extremely cunning, it is threatening to shoot us both to death, and does not hesitate to slap its own head, but in fact, its tail is slightly very slender and flexible, and when we escape, it wrapped around the end of the brush inserted in his mouth, and pulled it up.
As soon as the giant snake broke free from the shackles, it immediately went berserk, and once again erected its body to launch a fierce attack on us, and at the same time its tail blocked our way, the space was narrow, and there was no way out, Zhu Xieyu and I were surrounded by snakes.
Seeing that the snake circle was shrinking tighter and tighter, as if it was going to entangle us inside, Zhu Xieyu hurriedly threw me out, and I was in mid-air watching the snake body coil up in circles, but I couldn't do anything.
At this moment, six gold and steel flying claw chains were thrown into the door of the side hall, each of which was covered with barbs similar to fish hooks, once it penetrated into the body of the giant snake, it was embedded, and the other end of the chain was dragged by manpower, so that the basilisk was no longer able to coil Zhu Xieyu, but was dragged to the side, because its body was too large and still coiled, so it could block the door of the side hall.
Looks like someone came to the rescue.
But I can't let go of my hanging heart.
Although Zhu Xieyu was out of the shackles, he didn't mean to come to my side, but jumped to the side of the black hole and stopped, I couldn't guess what he was going to do for a while, but I was very afraid of what was going to happen.
"Ah Yu, what are you going to do? Come here! ”
"Zhu Xieyu, is that you? Are you in it? ”
A young woman's voice came from outside the side hall, although the timbre was delicate, but it was very decisive and fierce.
"Who's out there?"
I looked at Zhu Xiyu, and then looked at the door of the temple that was blocked by the basilisk, and tried my best to guess who the woman who was separated by the snake from me was.
"Zhu Xieyu, it's your words that answer me, I'll let them think of killing this monster and save you!"
Zhu Xieyu still didn't answer her.
Outside, he said: "Zhu Xieyu, I know it's you, don't think that you just don't make a sound, you came to such a dangerous place alone behind my back, and you don't take your life seriously, you are irresponsible to the court, irresponsible to me, disloyal and unjust, do you know?" ”
Zhu Xieyu looked at me and smiled weakly: "Outside is Princess Lanxin, who has been friends with me since I was a child, and she is very noisy, but she is not a bad person, don't listen to her nonsense, I don't need to take any responsibility for her." ”
I nodded and reluctantly smiled: "You are not responsible for her, you must be responsible for me!" Don't stand there, come here! ”
I took a step closer to him, but Zhu Xiyu took a step back, closer to the edge of the black hole: "Don't come here yet!" ”
Outside: "Zhu Xieyu, is that woman also inside?" Hum! The matter between you and that pavilion master has long been spread all over the city, do you think I won't know? You are destined to be my colt, and I advise you to cut off the relationship with that woman as soon as possible, and it will be good for you and everyone. ”
Zhu Xieyu said: "Yingying, I never promised to be her concubine. ”
I nodded quickly: "Yes, I believe you, you remember what I said!" I believe what you say. ”
Outside: "Zhu Xieyu, okay, count me in the towel, which man is not lustful and doesn't like to steal, if you really like her, after we get married, you can accept her as a partial room." ”
Zhu Xiyu said: "Yingying, you pick up the bronze jue first." ”
I picked up the bronze jue and held it in my hand as I said.
Outside, he said: "Zhu Xieyu, I agreed, and when the time comes, you should be satisfied with her!" You think that I am a princess of a country, and I am willing to sit on an equal footing with a woman in the rivers and lakes, which is already the biggest concession. ”
Zhu Xiyu said: "When I was entangled by the big snake just now, I saw some patterns on it, about the bronze jue, about this altar, about the holy spring of the night. Then, I understood everything. ”
“……”
I seemed to be able to guess what he understood, and my voice trembled with so much fear that I was so nervous: "Ah Yu, come here!" Don't do stupid things for me. ”
Zhu Xieyu's eyes were shining: "I, Zhu Xiyu, have never done stupid things in my life, except for you." ”
“……”
"The sacrifice of a living person requires a person of true heart who is willing to dedicate himself, jump into this cave of thought, and then the holy spring is out. Yingying, you are luckier than Xiyue, she knows the way but she has never waited for someone who loves her and is willing to die for her, and you don't have to wait, I can die for you anytime and anywhere. ”
After listening to what he said, my whole body froze, because the method he said was far more decisive and cruel than I imagined, I suddenly understood the true intention of Mulberry to plant acacia Gu for me before he died, she also knew the method of obtaining the Kabaya Holy Spring, she wanted to help me test Zhu Xieyu, to see if he was willing to die for me, if he was willing, he was the one who was truly worthy of my love. But mulberry, mulberry, even if it proves that Zhu Xieyu is worthy of my love in the end, what is the point of everything when people are dead?
"Yingying, you promise me that you will obediently drink the holy spring water in the bronze jue later, and you can solve the Gu and let me die with peace of mind. I allow you to grieve for me for a while, but not for long, you have to be happy again, like you were as heartless as before. You can go to Liu Huaqiao, isn't he your first love? I can see that he is also sincere to you, if you are with him, then I will be relieved, but don't forget me. ”
"Woooooooooo......oo What did you say, I don't want to go to Liu Huaqiao, I don't want you to explain to me like an aftermath, I just want you to accompany me, as long as you take care of me, I don't want you to use death to prove it, let's find another way to solve the Gu, there must be other ways, don't, don't jump, I beg you, I beg you. ”
My tears fell, crying into tears, crying silently, how could I have cried like a child without scruples in my restrained life.
"Hehe, I owe you in my previous life, and I can't bear to see you suffer in this life, even if you sacrifice your life, I hope you won't suffer a little more in the future."
After he said this, he jumped into the bottomless cave of thought, even if I tried my best to run towards him, I still couldn't catch up, I couldn't even touch his fingertips, I could only see him fall into the boundless darkness, I wanted to reach out to catch it, and even thought about jumping in, but the merciless altar closed in the middle, and I felt a huge force blocking me, and I fell to the ground.
"Ahh
"What's wrong? What's wrong? What's going on inside? Zhu Xieyu, Zhu Xiyu, what's wrong with you? Answer me! ”
Outside was Princess Lan Xin, who had almost lost her mind.
After satisfying himself to "devour" a living person, Sidong closed it contentedly, and the two halves of the sacrificial table were tightly embedded, as if they had never been separated.
Zhu Xieyu, my Ah Yu, the person I love the most, was buried in the belly of the mountain like this, and even the corpse was not left to me, and I will never see this person again.
No, no, I cried and cried, there was no so-called reason, composure and analysis, just the most primitive slapping, scratching, even if my nails were broken, even if my fingers were bloody, I was like crazy, trying to open the altar.
At this time, I saw that the giant snake suddenly stopped writhing, as if it had turned into a dark blue stone sculpture, it suddenly exploded and peeled off in layers like scales, and finally only a golden fat little meat worm remained, which was somewhat similar to the golden silkworm Gu that I had seen before.
The golden worm vibrated its wings and flew into the groove with the body of the meat piercing, and after a while the golden spring inside dried up, and the body of the little meat worm doubled in size, becoming a golden transparent body, it flew towards the copper jue in my hand, staggering and struggling even harder, and after falling into the bronze jue, it immediately collected its wings and rolled into a ball, and from time to time it turned into a transparent body of water with golden light, just a cup.
