CHAPTER XLVI
A crescent moon had just climbed into the sky, and a soft light lingered around it, and it didn't take long for it to shed it.
All corners of the small courtyard were sprinkled with moonlight, Nan He glanced up, and then focused on Bo Yanhe.
She was still hesitating.
Nan He was a little impatient, and couldn't help but speak: "I really don't know what you're still hesitating about!" It's such a good deal, and you won't suffer! β
Bo Yanhe's brows were originally furrowed, she thought about it for a long time, and was about to nod, but when she heard her words, she hesitated again: "You seem to be a little eager for me to agree!" β
Nan He knew what she had in mind, she didn't explain, but shrugged her shoulders with a casual expression: "Whatever you think, anyway, there is only one chance, if you agree, then stay honest in this body, don't try to force me away anymore, if you don't agree...... Hum! β
She didn't say the rest of the words, but Bo Yanhe shuddered for no reason, and nodded in her sneer: "Okay!" Deal! β
Seeing that she agreed, Nan He had no intention of talking to her, but he also did not invite the demonic energy to seal her in, leaving her to stay in this body freely.
After all, she didn't think about what she wanted to do to her, as long as she was obedient, then she could say anything.
"Hey! Agreeing so quickly makes me a little disappointed! She sighed, then sat up straight, "But it's better to say yes sooner, I'll force you to say yes in the future!" β
"......" Bo Yanhe shivered again, she listened to Nan He's laughter, and a memory that did not belong to her gradually appeared in her mind.
The memory began in a place overgrown with grass, and a man's voice was the first to reach her ears.
"Girl, I advise you not to resist any longer! Obediently hand over the Soul Nourishing Stone in your hand, and we will spare your life! β
It was a middle-aged monk who was holding a long sword in his hand, the tip of which was pointed at the grass in front of him.
"Girl, as long as you hand over the soul nourishing stone, we promise to let you go!"
After him, another man spoke, and like the man before him, he was a monk.
Behind him stood several men dressed in the same clothes, each with a weapon in his hand, pointing at the grass.
Immediately after that, several more people spoke, but they said things to the same meaning.
"What's the matter with you little girl, we have all said it so clearly, why are you still not enlightened!" The man at the front looked a little angry, and the hand holding the sword clenched a little.
"Huh! You people are full of benevolence and morality, who knows if I can get out alive after I hand over the soul nourishing stone! β
A disdainful voice came from the grass, it was the girl who was holding the soul nourishing stone, chased by them, and forced here.
"We always do what we say! Since I said I wanted to let you go, I will definitely let you go! β
"Really?" The girl still didn't believe it.
"Nature." The middle-aged monk swore an oath.
"It's actually very simple for me to give you this soul nourishing stone, put down the weapons in your hands, and then heal me!" She was lying on the ground, but sat up while talking to them.
"Shhh
Hearing this, the monks turned their heads to look at each other, they were hesitating, hesitating whether to agree, but the middle-aged monk did not participate, his eyes stayed on the girl in the grass, as if he was afraid that she would run away.
Seeing that they didn't speak for a long time, she said again, "How is it?" Do you want to say yes? It doesn't matter if you don't agree, anyway, this soul nourishing stone is just like this, it's a big deal to destroy it! β
"You...... Don't you dare!! β
"I'm going to die, why wouldn't I dare?" She laughed, "But you have to think about it, a treasure like the Soul Nourishing Stone appears once in a thousand years, and if it is destroyed like this, it will be a pity!" β
"Hand over the Soul Nourishing Stone, and I'll heal you!" The middle-aged monk immediately threw the sword to the ground.
"Boomβ"
"Bang-"
ββ¦β¦β
After him, the other monks threw their weapons as well.
At the moment when they threw away their weapons, she suddenly stood up and looked at them with contempt: "What a naΓ―ve!"
The monks' faces changed drastically, and they looked at her and asked in shock, "What do you mean?!"
As she spoke, she was about to pick up the weapons on the ground, but she didn't give them time, the black marks on her eyebrows flickered, and several demonic qi emanated from her body, like a long sword, directly piercing their bodies, and finally nailing them to the trunk of a tree not far away.
"A monk who has lost his weapon is like a poisonous snake with a tooth extracted, he has no ability at all, and he is weak and vulnerable!"
She threw the soul nourishing stone into the air, and then took it firmly in her hand: "It's just a few domestic cats, and I still want to be the king of the mountain, let's go in the next life!"
The memory ended when she took the Soul Nourishing Stone and turned to leave.
Bo Yanhe came back to his senses violently, leaned against the barrier wall behind him, and took a big breath.
Although she didn't know what the Soul Nourishing Stone was, she knew who the girl was, and she also knew that those monks were from the Qingshan Sect, and their cultivation was not low, and they could kill them with one blow, so that girl was naturally not simple.
Recalling her own body when Nan He talked to her before, and remembering what she had just said, Bo Yanhe was a little scared for a while, if she didn't agree, then maybe in the future......
She shook her head, forcing herself not to think about it, but she secretly swore in her heart that she must listen to Nan He's words in the future, and she will never know life and death like before!
Nan He naturally didn't know about her thoughts, and at this time she was rubbing her stomach, thinking about where to eat.
There was not much silver left in the money bag, so Nan He poured them out and counted them, and then put them back in again.
"You guys stay here honestly, don't run around!"
She glared at the zombies, got up and walked to the door, took a few steps, and then stopped.
"One more thing!" She looked back at them, "Don't let anyone know you can talk without my permission!" Hear no! β
"Hmmm......"
They nodded with difficulty, looking very well-behaved from a distance.
Seeing this, Nan He didn't stay any longer, turned around and walked straight to the door.
At this time, it was the time for the Chinese New Year's Eve dinner, there were not many people on the street, naturally there were no vendors out of the stall, she had already come out once in the morning, so she knew these very well, but still did not want to take another look, try your luck, in case there is a vendor out of the stall! What if a restaurant opens!
But often the sky never follows people's wishes, and she has walked around the streets, and she has not met a hawker out of the stall or a restaurant open.
"Oh my God! Don't I just want to eat? Is it hard? She looked up and grumbled.
But after complaining, it still can't change the fact that she is hungry.
"Alas! Let's go back and nibble on osmanthus cake! β
Utterly reluctant.
I never thought that she would have a time when she couldn't eat, if she had known about it...... Even if she had known this, she didn't seem to be able to do anything about it!
Alas!
The house where she lived was on the other side of the street, and on the way back, she kept her head down, not looking at the road ahead, thinking that there was no one on the street anyway, and she would not bump into ......
"Bang-" Before he could finish his thoughts, the next moment his head hit a person's chest.
The man was standing on the road, so she bumped into it.
"Sorry! I'm sorry! She didn't even raise her head, but said again and again.
After saying that, she wanted to go around and leave, after all, she was so hungry that she didn't have the energy to talk to anyone anymore.
However, he went around and around, but after a few steps, he was pulled back by the man's arm.
Nan He was a little irritable for a while, she clenched her teeth and raised her head angrily.
Fang is the person she hit, but she has already apologized, so this person has no right to pull her back.
"This boy is very hungry now, I want to rush back to eat, can you relax ......"
When her eyes fell on the man's face, the unspoken words were swallowed back by her.
The man let go of his hand and looked at her with a smile on his lips.
After a long time, she was still stunned, and the man said, "Aren't you hungry?" Aren't you rushing back to eat? I'm letting go now, why don't you leave? β
His tone was full of smiles, Nan He Meng reacted, gave him a blank look, turned around and left.
The man stood there and watched as she took a few steps forward and stopped.
Nan He turned his head and glared at him viciously, then turned back and stood in front of him, staring at him for a long time.
"What? How long has it been since I saw you, and you don't recognize me? He was still laughing.
Seeing him like this, Nan He was angry, she squinted, raised her hand and hit him the shoulder.
Originally, it was going to be hit in the face, but considering the disparity in strength, when he was about to meet it, he quickly turned around.
"Big liar! Didn't you go on retreat?! How did it end up here!? β
The man in front of him grabbed her hand and brought her hand to his heart: "I didn't lie to you, I really went to retreat!" It's true! β
He said it sincerely, if it was as before, Nan He would have believed it, she directly shook off his hand and asked him: "Lan He, why am I in the mountains and forests when I wake up?" And after a long time in the mountains? What happened during that time? Where are you? β
The person in front of her was the Lan He who had taken her to Soul Mountain before.
"I really didn't lie to you! I've always been ......"
"In retreat all the time?" Nan He looked at him and raised his eyebrows, "There is such a big thing happening in Soul Mountain, can't you feel it as a big monster?" β
"I ......"
"Say no more! I won't believe a word of what you say! β
As early as the moment she woke up from the mountains and forests and couldn't find Lan He, she decided that the memory she lost must have something to do with him, and even the incident that happened in the Soul Mountain might have something to do with him!
But Nan He was not stupid enough to ask directly if it was his kind of thing, and according to the reaction of ordinary people after encountering this incident, she had the attitude and words she said before.
Lan He obviously didn't expect her to say such a thing, he was stunned, and then reached out to take her hand again, but Nan He didn't give him a chance: "If you don't tell me honestly, then don't show up in the future." β
After saying this, she was a little nervous, she wasn't sure if Ranhe would tell her the truth, but she was betting on his feelings for the other person he always looked at through her.
She had no idea what had happened to Lan He and that person, but the only thing she knew for sure was that she had won the bet.
Lan He lowered his eyes slightly, and said reluctantly, "Okay! I'll tell you the truth! β
When I got back to the house, it was already late at night.
Nan He walked in front, and Lan He followed behind her.
On the way back, Lan He kept telling her his so-called truth, but she didn't believe a word.
The zombies in the courtyard couldn't hide from Lan He, so she didn't let them hide.
After taking a seat at the stone table, she looked up at the zombie closest to her, "Go get two jars of wine." β
The zombie quickly went to get the wine, and then carefully placed it in front of the two of them.
Nan He noticed that when he put the wine in front of Lan He, the hand facing her shook slightly.
Unable to allow her to think too much, Lan He opened her mouth again: "I told you the truth, don't you still believe me?" β
Nan He glanced at him, reached out and took the jar of wine in front of him, opened the wine seal and took a sip.
"You said you didn't retreat in the Soul Mountain, but went to the Ghost Abyss?"
Lan He nodded earnestly.
"What are you doing in the Ghost Abyss?"
ββ¦β¦β
Seeing that he didn't speak, Nan He asked again: "What are you doing in the ghost abyss?" β
Lan He lowered his head, but when he looked up again, his brow furrowed. Instead of answering her question, he asked her, "Have you ever heard of it...... Soul Nourishing Stone? β
When she heard these three words, Nan He didn't react at all, but Bo Yanhe in her body sighed in her heart.
She looked at him calmly as usual: "I don't know." What's that? β
Hearing her answer, Lan He hurriedly said: "The Soul Nourishing Stone is a kind of treasure born in the ghost abyss, and it will only give birth to one in a thousand years, which is the same as the legendary elixir that can raise the flesh and bones of the dead, but it is much more powerful than them!" β
"Oh? What's a great way? β
Seeing that she seemed to be interested, Lan He smiled and continued: "That elixir is for the body, but this soul nourishing stone is for the soul!" β
"Soul Nourishing Stone, Soul Nourishing Stone, as the name suggests, is used to nourish the soul. In this world, there are soul lamps that can gather souls, and there are soul nourishing stones that can raise the missing souls. β
Nan He was a little stunned for a while, her soul inherited her memory, and she lost a lot of memories, and her soul was also incomplete, so did this soul nourishing stone also help her?
Thinking of this, her scattered brows furrowed again: "You went to the Ghost Abyss to raise the soul stone?"
"Hmm." Lan He answered.
Nan He was a little puzzled: "What are you looking for the Soul Nourishing Stone for?"
Speaking of Lanhe, such a monster, what's the use of a soul nourishing stone! Could it be ......
As if to confirm her words, Lan He looked at her, his eyes were soft, and his tone was gentle: "For you!"
Nan He: "......"
Selectively ignoring his expression and words, Nan He picked up the wine on the table and drank it.
Seeing her like this, Lan He smiled and didn't continue.
It was a little uncomfortable to be stared at all the time, Nan He simply lay on the table, and after lying on the ground for a while, she found that she could still feel the sight, so she raised her head again.
On the other side of the stone table, Lan He looked at her with a smile on his face.
I really didn't like this feeling, and was about to speak, when suddenly something happened, and she fell on the table again.
Looking to the side, she looked at the zombie standing not far away, and silently opened her mouth in her heart: "Go get me a bag of maltose."
As soon as I finished speaking in my heart, I heard Lan He say: "Eating sugar at night is not good for your teeth."
Nan He's eyes instantly turned cold, and sure enough, he could hear what she said to these zombies!
This time the zombie didn't listen to her and went to get her maltose.
Seeing this, she raised her head and fell her gaze on Lan He's face, which was still smiling at the corner of her lips.
There was no emotion in her eyes, but instead turned into surprise and incomprehension: "Can you hear what I said to them?" β
Lan He didn't see through the look on her face at this time, he laughed out loud: "What's so difficult about this, a big monster like me who has lived for thousands of years, it's not easy to know something!" β
"Thousands of years?" Nan He recalled what he had said to her before, and laughed with him, "I've lived for so long, are you still afraid of the immortal energy in Yangxu Palace?" β
Lan He naturally didn't forget what he said to her at the beginning, so when he heard her ask about this, he pretended to be aggrieved and said: "I don't want to be afraid, but who let there be immortals in the Yang Xu Palace!" The immortal aura left behind by the true immortals, no matter how long I live, I have to be afraid! β
True immortals? There have been true immortals in Yangxu Palace?
Nan He was really shocked at this time, originally she thought that those immortal qi in Yangxu Palace belonged to Wei Yuanzi, so when she knew that Lan He had lived for so long and was still afraid of immortal qi, she thought that he was lying to her from the beginning, but she didn't think it was like this!
"There have been true immortals in Yangxu Palace? Why have you never heard of it? β
Lan He's expression suddenly became a little strange, he looked at Nan He, and seemed to be looking at someone else through her, if it was usual, Nan He would definitely avoid his sight, but at this time she wanted to know what was going on.
"Because that true immortal fell in love with a monster, he was deposed of a fairy bone, and in the end, all that was left was that immortal energy."
