Chapter Twenty-Seven: Mu Xuan
Li Shen walked slowly to the shore, each step firm and steady, "Get out of the way!" With a shout of surprise, Li Shen suddenly jumped into the air. He was surrounded in a halo of red, and the ancient and mysterious longsword burned with bright red flames.
I saw a red flame from the tip of Li Ash's sword lightning towards the big green snake fighting with Zitong. "Don't!" Although Qingyi was so entangled that he could barely breathe, he still shouted weakly. I don't know if the snake that was wrapped around Qing Yi deliberately wanted to let it, or if Qing Yi burst out with amazing power in an instant, he actually got rid of the entanglement of the big snake, and the huge snake body blocked the fire of Li Yan's red sword qi.
With a "poof", Li Shen immediately spit out a mouthful of blood from his mouth, and the snake body poured softly into the lake, and an unpleasant smell of blood spread in the blue lake.
Li Ember glared at Qing Yi angrily, stupid, they were not his so-called relatives at all, but enemies, was it worth it to sacrifice himself to save the enemy?
Ember didn't continue with the second attack, but slowly landed on the shore, a long sword stabbed into the stone slab, gasping for breath, and if you looked closely, you would see that the corners of his lips were also stained with blood.
Seeing Qing Yi falling, the two snakes stopped, and their pupils revealed their previous confused expressions.
"Yi'er, when you grow up, your mother will take you to the outside world to see!"
"Yes, yes! My mother said it herself, but I can't regret it! ”
"Haha, little guy, are you still afraid that your mother will lie to you?"
……
"Mother is going to a far away place, you have to wait here for me to come back!"
"Yes, good!"
……
"Mother, where have you been? You said that you would take Yi'er to the outside world to see, to see the famous mountains and rivers, rivers, lakes and seas, and to see the red dust...... But why haven't you come back? ”
"Qingyi, don't wait stupidly, your mother went to find your father and will never come back, hahaha~"
"No, she'll definitely be back, by all means...... Will be back......"
The memory floated far, far away, and countless images flashed by the moment Qingyi fell. His gentle and beautiful mother-in-law gently described the beautiful world of the world to him, and he longed for the day when he could see such a prosperous and dusty world.
But he woke up too quickly, and he was still in the future and grasped happiness, but his mother, who had depended on each other since childhood, left.
For a while, loneliness and helplessness haunted his fragile body and mind.
"Your mother won't be coming back." These few words are almost the most brutal nightmare of his childhood. Everyone repeated the words in his ear, they laughed at his stupidity, they thought of him as an anomaly. The little boy, guarding the cold cave every day, looked into the distance, how he hoped that one day, that familiar figure would appear in the sky.
Just for that familiar figure, he waited for decades, thinking about it stupidly.
Mother, why didn't you come back? …… Yi'er is so well-behaved, she won't make her mother angry anymore, will you come back......
And it was only the lonely sea breeze that answered him. Chill the heart!
The reunion after a thousand years would never have imagined that it would be such a scene. Why didn't his mother know him? Did he grow up? How much has changed? It must be like this! My mother won't ignore him!
As if he had figured it out all of a sudden, Qingyi slowly closed his eyes and fell into the lake little by little.
However, before he could fully fall into the water, the snake behind him caught him, as if it was an instinct, and even her own eyes flashed with a lot of puzzlement.
My mind is very confused, and there are many, many images, which are memories from a long time ago, far, far away, so unreal...... Yes, she also has a son, who she selfishly abandoned for her husband.
The green snake's huge eyes flashed with crystals, just now, she remembered a lot of things, and a lot of mixed memories broke out of the desolation, took root and sprouted, and in an instant dyed bright green everywhere.
You...... Are you Yi'er?
She touched Qingyi affectionately with her head, but did not get the slightest response. Qingyi's huge snake body was soft, and Number Four was unconscious, like a ruined body that had lost its life.
Yi'er, wake up! I'm a mother!
Tears rolled down the corners of her narrow eyes, hitting Qingyi coldly, but Qingyi was still quiet. I will never be like when I was a child, carefully wipe the tears from the corners of her eyes, and say naughtily, ah! It's going to rain too!
Yi'er, wake up! Look, I've found your father, and our family can be reunited.
She pressed her body against Qingyi, and she didn't see Qingyi have any breath of life for a long time. She let out a long cry of grief, and a huge amount of spiritual power poured out of her body, enveloping herself and Qingyi in a cyan halo.
Zitong watched this scene quietly without any movement.
The other big snake was bewildered in his eyes, watching his companion not move, nor did he try to spoil the scene.
The green aura stained the water of a lake, and the shallow light spread out from the center, as if it had been washed by water.
It was only after a quarter of an hour that the rich green light gradually dissipated, and in the faint afterglow, little by little, the silhouette of the youth was revealed, and he lay quietly in the arms of a woman with a graceful figure, and the serpent turned into a human form, and he really felt warmer.
Qingyi had a very beautiful dream, in which dream, his mother returned to him, a pair of plain hands gently stroked his cheeks, and after he fell asleep, she still whispered softly beside him, comforting all the uneasiness and anxiety of the young man.
He clung to the hands that had appeared in his dreams countless times, like the last straw that saved his life. It was the only salvation in his countless nightmares.
When the brilliance faded, the faces of Qingyi and Mu Xuan gradually became clear in front of everyone's eyes.
At this time, Qing Yi's face was pale, Li Yan's blow just now wanted to solve Mu Xuan as soon as possible, and he used ten percent of his strength, and Qing Yi, who was not as good as Mu Xuan, barely took it, and he was seriously injured if he didn't die. But now, although his face is pale, it can be seen that he has the breath of life, presumably because Mu Xuan has sent him a lot of spiritual power!
——————————————————————
Qing Yi moved his eyelids slightly, and then his heavy eyelids slowly pulled open, and he looked at Mu Xuan weakly.
"Mother, you ...... Is it really my mother? ”
"Uh-huh!" She nodded vigorously, a pair of phoenix eyes welling up with tears.
Qing Yi's hand was still holding Mu Xuan tightly, no matter how weak his body was, his hand never let go.
Mother, I still found you after all, but fortunately I entered here with Sister Xue. You know, I've been thinking about you all these years, looking forward to the day when we meet again, every day and every night.
Mu Xuan supported Qingyi, the serious and soft maternal love, and the excitement of regaining it was beyond words.
There was a strong smell of hurt in the air.
I can't imagine that this big green snake still has such a mother-loving side, so touching! Zixin sighed in her heart.
Li Yan, who was still sneering at Qingyi's way of sacrificing himself to save people at the beginning, was also staring at them coldly at the moment, and his expression changed from hatred at the beginning to acquiescence, although in Li Yan's dictionary, such behavior was still stupid.
It was a harmonious atmosphere, but another green snake suddenly launched a frenzy, and without warning, it stirred up the water of a lake, and the water waves were agitated in an instant, and the waves were monstrous, and Qing Yi and Mu Xuan, who were still in the water, hurriedly struggled to stabilize their bodies, trying not to be knocked over by the turbulent water waves. However, after such a move, their already pale faces became even more haggard and weak!
As if he knew something, Mu Xuan suddenly threw Qing Yi out violently with a force, and Li Yan caught him quickly.
"He's gone, I'm stopping him, you guys go quickly, get out of here." Mu Xuan said in a deep voice to Li Yan.
In fact, as soon as the word "leaving" came out, even Mu Xuan himself could not imagine it. Yes, in the first few years, she tried to take Mao Qiao back, but she found nothing, these four sides are connected to a bottomless road, like a formation, it can't be broken at all.
And the water of this blue lake is a natural magic barrier, and if you soak it for a long time, you will lose your mind. The moment she first found Qu Qiao, she knew that he had lost his mind and entered the path of demons. That kind of magic barrier was too deep and too deep for her to unravel or wake up, so she could only stay and slowly move him. has been with him for thousands of years, from hostility at the beginning to indifference to now dependent on each other, but she has never found the husband who once loved his wife and family.
Later, at some point, she was lost in the magic of the lake, just like Da Qiao. For nearly a thousand years, if it is not true that there is no love in the heart and no distractions, no one can really resist this lake. Imperceptibly, pervasively.
And just now, Qingyi's desperate protection made her suddenly sober up, and she has done her best for Yu Qiao all these years, and she is worthy of her heart. The only person she was sorry for was the son she cruelly abandoned, and she couldn't really lose him. The strong and great motherly love woke her up in time, so that she still had time to save her son, which can be regarded as a gift from God!
"Be sure to leave here safely with Yi'er!" Mu Xuan said earnestly to Li Yan, with a pleading look in his eyes.
Ember nodded earnestly.
For more than a thousand years, Mu Xuan knew Qi Qiao's weaknesses best, but she had just consumed too much spiritual power for Qingyi, and now she only had thirty percent of her strength left. There is no chance of winning against Da Qiao at all. At this time, it is only a temporary delay.
"Let's go!" Li Shen easily pushed Qingyi to Leng Xie, then hugged Mingxue and strode away.
"Hey~" Leng Xie reluctantly called Li Ash, but Li Ash ignored him. It's too late, they have to get out of here, and one more day here will be more dangerous.
Seeing that Li Shen didn't react, Leng Xie was helpless, so he had no choice but to carry Qingyi and beckon Thunder to go together.
Yu Qiao's huge snake body was rolling in the water, and it was even more crazy to see Mu Xuan let Li Yan and the others go.
Mu Xuan could only dodge left and right, dodging the water arrows that Yu Qiao kept shooting.
"Husband, calm down, I'm Mu Xuan!"
Where did Yu Qiao, who was in a frenzy, hear Mu Xuan's words, he launched an attack frantically, and even Li Yan, who had not yet gone far on the shore, they all felt a strong murderous aura.
What the hell is going on here? Da Qiao was quite calm just now, how could he suddenly launch a madness.
Seeing such a situation, Mu Xuan couldn't care so much, on the one hand, her husband who had followed her for many years, and on the other hand, her son who owed a lot, which she couldn't give up.
She kept dodging Da Qiao's attacks, stepping on the loopholes of the attack one by one and reaching Da Qiao's side, she turned into a human form, obviously much more flexible than Qu Qiao.
Mu Xuan hugged the huge snake body of Yu Qiao and hugged it tightly, as if he had used all his strength.
He struggled desperately, shaking his snake body, trying to shake Mu Xuan down, but to no avail.
"Husband, don't be like this, I'm Mu Xuan! Wake up, don't let your demons control you anymore...... Okay, let's go home together...... Is it okay to go home with Yi'er? Mu Xuansheng said with tears in her eyes, and cold and desperate tears fell on Yu Qiao's body one by one.
At this time, Li Shen and the others had already run to the entrance of Yongdao.
Seeing the huge corridor, Qingyi even suspected that the corridor behind Bihu had moved to this side, how could it be exactly the same?
"Wait", Qingyi weakly stopped them.
"What time is it, wait, we're running for our lives......" Zixin retorted.
"I saw the exact same one on the other side of Bihu. Beware of deception! ”
"I've observed, there are four of these corridors here, exactly the same, and now we can't care about so much, let's go in first!" It's almost dawn! Li Shen said in a deep voice.
The sky is about to dawn, others may not know, but Qingyi understands that dawn means that all this is gone, and they will return to the endless sea of peach blossoms in the daytime.
Qingyi weakly closed his eyes in agreement.
The group retreated into the corridor.
Suddenly, the boundless darkness surrounded them, and the world behind them disappeared in one fell swoop!
"It's dawn...... "It's good that we're in!" Leng Xie sighed. This place is really weird!
A piece of lacquer covered everyone's eyes at once, and there was a trace of light in the back and front.
"Which of you has torches! Sister, I'm afraid ......" Zixin whispered, her hand still holding Zitong tightly.
Zitong soothed her back, where did the torches come from in such a place! It is not yet known what kind of danger awaits them. Sometimes it's much safer in the dark than in the light.
