Chapter 215: The Weight of Life
Dai Chuchen brushed aside the messy grass around him and looked around. The trees here are luxuriant, with a light as soft as the sun, he accompanied Lin Luo's side, and said, "I don't know, are we going out?" ”
"It shouldn't be ......" Lin Luo raised his head to look at the impermeable stone wall, and said lightly: "Look, we should still be underground." ”
"But how can there be light underground?" Dai Chuchen touched the back of his head, puzzled.
The two of them walked along the path in the woods, observing all the way. It's really strange here, although it's underground, it's well-lit, giving the illusion of being above ground. The dense trees obscured the scenery around them, causing the two of them to walk for a long time and only walk around the forest.
Walking and walking, Lin Luo suddenly stopped, she hammered the sore calf with her hand, and exchanged her feet back and forth to Dai Chuchen, and said to Dai Chuchen: "Chuchen, rest your feet first, I can't walk anymore." ”
She let go of the hand held by Dai Chuchen, found a nearby stone, and sat on it. Dai Chuchen saw that "Xia Chongming's" face was full of sweat mixed with soil, and he couldn't help but feel distressed, squatted beside Lin Luo, and said with concern: "How is it?" Is there any better? ”
He gently beat Lin Luo's leg with his hand, and his eyes were full of sincerity.
Lin Luo smiled in a trance and said, "Well, it's better, you feel so good by my side......"
The corners of her mouth are a little skinny, and her voice is slightly hoarse. Dai Chuchen quickly noticed this, and hurriedly got up and said, "Good, wait for me here for a while, I'll go find you some water." After speaking, he gently rubbed Lin Luo's head with his hand.
Lin Luo looked at Dai Chuchen's figure hidden in the forest, and did not stop him. After Dai Chuchen walked away, she took out the knife that Feng Qingyan gave her and rubbed it in her hand.
There were still traces of blood left on the knife from the golden toad, exuding a unique smell, somewhat similar to the smell of copper coins. Lin Luo raised his hand and looked at the blood stains on his hands in a bit of a daze, thinking in his mind.
It was their luck to subdue the golden toad, and the golden toad was too underestimating the enemy, staring at Dai Chuchen all the time, and they didn't take Lin Luo in their eyes at all, after all, Lin Luo looked like a scumbag.
Who knew that Lin Luo actually took advantage of its inattention to climb the golden mountain behind it, and jumped onto its back. I saw Lin Luo's hand rise and fall, and in an instant, he inserted the blood-red knife into the toad's body.
Jin Toad's eyes suddenly lost his mind, and he fell down like a small mountain.
The feeling of the knife piercing into the golden toad's hand, Lin Luo was still clearly anxious at this moment. The moment the golden toad fell, it seemed that something in its body had been destroyed by the knife, floating out of its body and turning into pieces in the air.
Is this the soul? The weight of life is less than a feather......
It was the first time she had killed, the first time she felt life pass by her hands, and she saw her soul being torn to shreds in the blink of an eye...... Everything is so fast.
She should have panicked, she should have been sad. But why, at that moment, she actually felt happy, a relief that she could finally relax? This sense of relief even made Lin Luo a little excited, so much so that she pulled out the knife from the golden toad's back without even thinking about it, jumped down, and disemboweled.
Was her reaction a little too cold-blooded?
Lin Luo took out the things in his pocket, it was the golden toad's inner pill, which was the size of an egg, and it was not easy to cultivate to this extent.
Over the years, she has followed Feng Qingyan's side, and naturally she has also been exposed to a lot of spiritual knowledge.
Lin Luo held Neidan tightly and shook his head. How could she be cold-blooded? Natural selection, the law of life has always been like this, the world is always dominated by the strong, and the weak are not worthy of living in the world.
Besides, she was also trying to escape for her life, so she didn't need to feel guilty for killing a life.
Dai Chuchen walked around the jungle around "Xia Chongming", looking for water. Most of the trees and flowers here grew strangely, and he encountered many creatures he had never seen before, and as he walked, he suddenly heard a sound like thunder from a distance.
"Boom! Bang! ”
Dai Chuchen was frightened by this sudden voice, which seemed to be far away, but it was very loud, as if it was in his ears, and he was terrified when he heard it, and it hit one after another.
"Oops, you can't leave Chongming there alone!"
Dai Chuchen exclaimed in surprise and hurriedly ran back along the road he had come. It's really strange, strange light, strange terrain, strange creatures, strange sounds! Xia Chongming stayed there alone, he really couldn't rest assured! He shouldn't have acted alone!
The more he thought about it, the more chaotic his heart became, and he shouted Xia Chongming's name while running: "Xia Chongming! Xia Chongming! Xia Chongming! ”
He frantically brushed aside the vines entwined in front of him and rushed out, and in the open space in front of him, "Xia Chongming" was sitting curled up on the stone with a knife in his hand.
Dai Chuchen shook off the vines behind him, rushed to "Xia Chongming" in three steps and two steps, hugged her tightly, stared at her forehead with his chin and trembled and comforted: "I'm sorry, I left you alone again, don't be afraid, don't be afraid......"
Lin Luo listened to Dai Chuchen's panicked tone, her heart was already cold, of course she was frightened by the sudden thunder in the forest, this voice sounded as if it was blaming her, making her miserable.
Dai Chuchen ...... What is this sound? Lin Luo buried his body in Dai Chuchen's arms, looking for the warmth that belonged to Dai Chuchen.
Dai Chuchen looked around, swallowed his saliva, frowned and said, "Maybe there are monsters here that are the same as those in Fang Cai's room, and this sound must be made by that monster." ”
"What the hell is this place...... I'm really fed up......" Lin Luo leaned his face against Dai Chuchen's chest, crying slightly. She was a little desperate, and her instinct for survival told her that she couldn't stay here for a minute anymore.
But what if she escaped now? Xia Chongming's whereabouts are still unknown, if she escapes, won't she mess everything up?
No, she couldn't just back down. If she disobeyed Feng Qingyan's order, then she would have to bring the entire Lin family to her funeral, and she would never allow this kind of thing to happen!
Lin Luo began to grit her teeth, trying her best to control her body and not shaking, she also stopped crying, her eyes became firm, she raised her head and said to Dai Chuchen: "Dai Chuchen, let's go!" See if there are any clues around. ”
"Okay, listen to you." Dai Chuchen gently kissed Lin Luo on the forehead and helped Lin Luo up.
The two men began to search in the woods again, accompanied by the roar of thunder......
Xia Chongming listened to everything Su Soul said in a daze, and didn't react until Shen Shen, who had been sitting on the coffin, suddenly patted her head and said, "Sister Chongming? Sister? ”
"Huh? What's wrong? Xia Chongming was in a trance for a moment, and slowly said, "In other words, my mother is also here, right......?"
"Yes, she's already here. But now her safety ......," Su Soul replied, his eyes worried.
Xia Chongming suddenly stammered, her word order began to be confused, and she babbled alone: "Why...... Mom...... Why...... Me, here is my past life...... Then why did she come to Chongmeitori...... of the flesh...... Why did she ...... He wouldn't tell me anything......"
"Hey, sister, are you okay?" Xia Chongming felt like he had a nervous breakdown, and even Shen Shen on the side hurriedly said: "Although my brother doesn't understand your human emotions very well, you must cheer up!" Little girl, do you mean? After speaking, he raised his eyebrows and glanced at Su Soul.
After glaring at Shen Shen angrily, Su Soul comforted Xia Chongming and said, "The previous sentence of Little Ginseng is right, I thought you would accept your life experience very happily, but I didn't expect you to have such a big reaction......
"No, it's not that I can't accept my background." Xia Chongming stroked the coffin behind him, and said with empty eyes: "I have long guessed that in my previous life, I was a little disciple of Nuwa, a saint of the netherworld, and a god in the world...... I am not surprised that you say that I am the ancestor of the Purple Moon Pavilion...... I'm not surprised to be buried here. But why, why do you all have to work so hard for me one by one? Is it worth it? ”
A tear slipped from the corner of Xia Chongming's eyes and dripped onto the back of her hand.
"Of course it's worth it," Su Soul said in a firm tone, "Whether it's my sister or me, all this we have done for you is worth it." My sister is arrogant, and she knows your background as soon as you are born. But she didn't choose to let you follow the same path as in the previous life, on the contrary, she hoped that you could live an ordinary life like an ordinary girl, and live a life without strife. ”
Su Soul said while recalling: "I think how powerful my sister was back then! Before I could only babble, she had already topped the ranks among the disciples of the same age in the Purple Moon Pavilion. Later, she subdued demons and eliminated demons, practiced everywhere, and every time she was famous, she was the pride of her father's mouth. Everyone thought that she would inherit her father's mantle in the future and become the next generation of pavilion masters of the Purple Moon Pavilion. But only I know that none of this is what she wants. ”
"In the Purple Moon Pavilion, everyone can only live incognito, no matter how powerful they are? We can't live like normal people, because we are descendants of the Nuwa lineage. But her sister later gave up everything, and even stopped cultivating for many years to pursue the life she wanted. She knows all too well what strife can bring, so she doesn't want you to be like she was when she was younger, just to protect yourself. ”
However, no matter how much my sister makes plans and efforts, after all, she still can't defeat fate...... Therefore, I decided to cut the red line of fate myself, so that you can live an ordinary life. Su Soul walked to the coffin and gently pushed the thick coffin open.
The bronze coffin was pushed open, revealing the cyan slate inside, and no one knew what was contained under the slate.
