Chapter 3
Sora's steady and powerful steps echoed in the night, and he walked down the stairs, where Mizo was waiting for him.
"Sect Master, how's it going?"
Sora just glanced at her faintly and walked past her, "It's just a pampered princess." ”
Sora walked step by step, not slowing down in the slightest, but he just looked up at the room upstairs, and then turned around and followed behind Sora.
"It's not trivial."
Sora suddenly stopped, a low magnetic voice calling her name.
"Huh?"
"I've got a mission for you now."
Looking at the sect leader in the night without confusion, his back still gave her a sense of mystery.
The white candle on the second floor gradually fell asleep with memories, and in the dream, she returned to the cave in the mountain again, the honeysuckle was blooming luxuriantly, and there was not only her, but also free, the empty was still the dark clothes, he chuckled slightly, and asked her, how are you doing lately?
Her lips were smiling, and her eyes were full of tenderness.
Well, all the same.
He sat down next to her and asked her, do you know why there are so many flowers here?
She shook her head and asked, Why?
Sora suddenly smiled weirdly.
He said, "I planted it on purpose, don't you think that the yellow petals will have a very special color when they are stained with bright red blood?"
She was slightly stunned and looked at him, as if digesting his words.
He pulled out a sharp knife and turned sideways to her, a strange smile on his face, and the knife in his hand stabbed at her very quickly.
Bai Xun Candle sat up from the bed suddenly, gasping for air, and realized that his forehead was already stained with a little sweat.
Bai Xuanzhu's slender eyelashes trembled slightly, wiped the sweat on his forehead, stared at the silk sheet covering his body, and breathed a sigh of relief for a while.
It turned out to be a dream.
It's just this dream, she doesn't like it. Maybe it's because of the words that Sora left before he left last night, so that he has this kind of nightmare.
Bai Xun Candle got out of bed and found that it was already dawn.
A few mischievous rays of sunlight slipped in through the window, and the white candle walked there, lazy and very warm.
Suddenly, someone knocked on the door and pushed it open, and when I saw it, it was the little guy from last night.
She put breakfast on the table, smiled, and said, "Girl, let's eat something later." ”
"Hmm."
Bai Xun Candle responded softly, but noticed that this little guy was acting strangely.
She looked around a little nervously, and when she realized that there was no one around, she carefully took out a small note from her sleeve and put it under the teacup, nodded at her, and then closed the door and left.
Bai Xun Candle walked lightly, walked to the table, took out the white paper that had been stuffed in, opened it, and saw that several neat black fonts were clearly displayed on the paper:
Don't stay in the house tonight, run, it's dangerous.
Bai Xunzhu's eyes darkened slightly, staring at this ordinary little note, raising his eyes slightly, as if he was pondering something.
Hearing footsteps outside the door, she hurriedly tucked the note into her sleeve and sat down in a chair, leaning on her chin with her left hand and pouring tea with her right hand.
"Girl, this is the true spirit."
After pushing open the door, he saw her so leisurely, and said with a smile on his lips.
Bai Yunzhu put down the tea set, looked at her, and asked, "Is there something wrong?" ”
Wei Zuo smiled slightly, smiled very sincerely, very kindly, couldn't help but remind Bai Xun Candle of the owner of the yellow figure, her smile was also so sincere, so heartwarming.
Seeing her stunned, she asked, "Girl, what's wrong?" ”
Bai Xun came back to his senses, smiled lightly, and said, "No, do you have something to do with me?" ”
"The sect leader said, you can't let you stay in the room all the time, you won't be sick if you don't get sick, so let your subordinates take you around."
"Well, whatever."
"Then after the girl has eaten breakfast, I'll come to the girl again, anyway, this breakfast still meets the girl's appetite?"
"Well, that's good."
"That's good, then girl, you can taste it slowly, I'll go back first."
Looking at the series of actions of standing up and walking out and closing the door again, Bai Xunzhu just looked at it lightly, and subconsciously touched the position of the small note.
Thoughts gradually came to my heart.
Maybe something will happen tonight, but why did the man go out of his way to inform himself?
Bai Xun Candle looked out the window, and from this angle, he could see the peaks of the Qijun, uneven, and at first glance, hazy, like a hornless dragon.
The weather was still very clear, the sky was still blue, the clouds were still pure white, and the difference was that there were more figures of birds flying by one after another, flocks of birds, wings straining to spread and fly.
The breath of the morning always carries the fragrance of the morning, and in a trance, it is as pure as flowing water.
The other corner of the horizon is the same.
A woman dressed in yellow walked on the road with a gray burden on her back, the burden looked heavy, but looking at her appearance, she didn't seem to be tired, but full of energy and a good smile.
Bai Shishan looked at the old man with firewood on his back, stepped forward, and asked, "This uncle, may I ask, how long does it take to get from here to Sheng Yiguo?" ”
"To Sheng Yiguo?" The old man looked Bai Shishan up and down, and said with a smile, "Girl, are you joking, this is the Baijing Kingdom, and it will take more than thirty days to go from here to Shengyi Kingdom." ”
"Thirty days!"
Bai Shishan frowned, and his fair face showed a look of embarrassment.
She didn't have that much time to spend here, she had to get there early to buy as much time as possible for the White Candle.
The old man laughed and said, "Don't worry, girl, I'm talking about it based on your speed, if you take the carriage, it's different." ”
"How long will it take to get in the car?"
"It depends on what kind of thing it is, it usually takes ten days, and if it's a fast horse, it may only take four or five days to get there."
"Okay, thank you."
After that, Bai Shishan lifted her burden slightly, and was about to walk forward, when the uncle behind her suddenly called her, "Girl." ”
"What's the matter?"
The old man reminded softly: "Ahead is the capital, there are many traffickers, pay attention." ”
Bai Shishan smiled lightly and thanked: "Well, thank you." ”
Bai Shishan moved towards the capital where there were many traffickers that the old man said, and his mood was refreshing.
She rarely goes to these places, after all, the master takes them to some strange places, and outsiders almost don't go often.
Either they will meet half-corpses, or they will meet mummies, in short, there is nothing they are not afraid of.
Therefore, she is not very worried about the traffickers that the old man said, the only thing she is worried about is the white candle.
A year ago, on Mt. Jihime.
Bai Xun went to the cave as usual, but it was still empty, but the honeysuckle there was still luxuriant, and even more fragrant.
After a long time, I walked down the mountain.
On the way down the mountain, I heard screams from afar, that day, the weather was not clear, layers of dark clouds gradually covered the pure white clouds and sky, from time to time some chilling cold wind blew, hitting the body, not as refreshing as usual.
She had a hunch that something must have happened.
Bai Xun Candle walked down the mountain step by step, and the screams were getting closer and closer.
Finally, she saw a somewhat desolate looking village, and at the same time, she also met a woman dressed in red, her hair was long, almost draped over her shoulders, her eyes were red, and she was holding a long knife at the innocent villagers one by one.
The whole village was in chaos.
The cries of children, the shouts of women, and the screams of women.
And the knife in the woman's hand was sprinkled with an unknown green liquid.
And that day was the day when the bad luck of the white candle began.
Later, that day, because she didn't wait for Bai Xun to come back, Bai Shishan stood in front of the mountain and waited for her worriedly.
It was foggy, foggy for the first time.
I don't know how long I waited, but in the hazy fog, an unsteady figure walked out a little shaky.
Bai Shishan couldn't forget for a moment, when Bai Xuanzhu came back, she was covered in scars, she barely returned home almost supported by a thick stick, her face was almost pale, her lips were black, and her body trembled a little, until she saw her and fell down.
What they didn't understand was that Bai Xunzhu, who had been practicing martial arts since childhood, would one day return scarred like this, and the thin and long scars on her body were glowing with a little green liquid, which looked very strange and weird.
She still remembered very clearly that the master's face was extremely wrong when he saw her symptoms.
The white candle was placed in the hot tub, and the master kept adding some ingredients to the hot tub, and even the snake gall was added to it.
The master said that it was a miracle that the candle could come back alive.
One day and one night, a full day and one night, Bai Xun Candle was helped out of the hot pool, and the scars on her body were obviously much better.
Looking at Bai Xuan Candle, who was still lying on the bed with pale lips and a haggard face, Bai Shishan looked at the master who was sitting on the side and kept flipping through the medical books, and asked, "Master, what kind of injury did Xuan Candle have?" Why is it so serious? ”
The pages of the medical book stopped, and the master raised his eyes slightly, looked at Bai Xun Candle, and said seemingly calmly: "The main thing she suffered was not an injury, but a poison!" ”
"Poison?"
"It's the greenish liquid you saw on the scars of the candle earlier, and that's the culprit who killed her." The master looked at Bai Shishan, his face was a little wrong, "Shishan, the master can't help it." ”
Bai Shishan stood there in a daze as if he had been electrocuted, looking at Bai Xuan's eyes, which were full of hollowness.
After a while, Bai Shishan came back to his senses, sat down in front of the master, and said in a little panic: "Then master, you quickly solve, quickly solve, aren't you a master of detoxification?" You can solve all the poisons in the world, can't you? Quick, quick solution, what herbs do you need, I'll go, I'll find it for you, I'll go find it for you. ”
The master closed his eyes, sighed long, and said, "Shishan, there is no way. ”
"Yes, there must be, there must be......" Bai Shishan snatched the book from the master's hand, flipped through it very quickly, his fingertips trembled, and he choked up and said, "Master, what is this poison, what is it, I'll find it, I'll help you find it, I'll help you find it, the candle is fine, it's going to be fine......
That night, they didn't close their eyes all night.
The next morning, Bai Shishan sat on the edge of Bai Xun's candle bed, and the panda eyes with black circles under his eyes kept looking at the person lying motionless on the bed.
The master walked in, and she could see that the master hadn't closed his eyes for several days, and his haggard face was really different from the usual master who paid attention to health.
She guessed it was because she was looking for a way to detoxify.
"Shi Shan, you go out first."
"Huh?"
"Do you want to save the candle?"
Bai Shishan nodded again and again, glanced at Bai Xun Candle, looked at the master again, walked out of the door with some joy, and quietly waited for the master to come out.
During this period, although she was a little sleepy and drowsy continued to spread throughout her body, she did not dare to close her eyes at all, she was afraid that she would fall asleep and miss the time when the master came out.
I don't know how many hours passed, but I remember that the sun rose from the east to the center, and the heat changed somewhat.
When the master walked out, Bai Shishan almost pounced.
"Let the candle sleep well, don't go in and disturb her, but the master must tell you that although the poison of the candle is not the three great poisons in the world, it is an unprecedented strange poison, and the candle can only live for two years at most, which is the largest period."
