Chapter 244: Heavenly Wood Forest
Jiang Zhige didn't notice the many deep meanings in He Xiao's eyes.
However, the old snake king categorically rejected He Xiao's invitation.
I only heard that the old snake king knocked the snake head staff a few times, and after coughing lightly, he said slowly: "The old man is old, and there is no need for a protective person by his side." With Ye Gongzi here this time, he must be able to return triumphantly. He Xiao, you don't have to go. ”
"Old Snake King! This! ”
He Xiao was anxious to refuse the old snake king, but was swallowed by Ye Shengji with a wave of his hand.
I only heard Ye Shengji smile slightly, and said slowly: "He Xiao's heart, Ye Mou's heart understands." It's just that there are too many variables on this battlefield. The old snake king is kind and doesn't want you to get into danger, so it's good for you to stay with the old man. ”
"Minister, take the order."
Although He Xiao agreed, he glanced at Jiang Zhige with a very uneasy look, and quickly took it back.
This woman won't have anything to do with her, right?
After a cup of tea, the old snake king said goodbye and took He Xiao away.
In the military tent, only Ye Shengji and Jiang Zhige remained.
Ye Shengji glanced at the direction in which the old snake king left, thought for a moment, frowned and said, "Zhige, do you think that the old snake king's concern for He Xiao seems to be beyond the ordinary master-servant relationship?" ”
"Maybe it's because of the weight of the instrument?"
Jiang Zhige didn't think there was anything wrong with this, and replied casually.
"By the way, I haven't seen Twilight in some days. Where is he? Why don't you leave without saying hello? ”
Ye Shengji casually asked Jiang Zhige.
"How do I know?"
Jiang Zhige put down the melon seeds in his hand with a weak heart, glanced at Ye Shengji, and muttered: "I still have something to do, I'll go first." ”
With that, she went out of the tent.
Ran away in a puff of smoke and disappeared without a trace.
In the midst of a grove of trees, a ray of sunlight passed through the gaps between the lush trees, and fell on the lonely figure of the twilight!
His expression was lonely and trance-like, and he walked in the forest of heavenly trees without a smile.
It has been ten years, and he has not set foot on the land where he was born and raised.
Behind him, there are all the kneeling figures of the beasts surrendering to him, with blood as the command, this jungle, he is the only one.
However, he couldn't, and the little tanuki gave in to him, and her paws scratched her inadvertently, and then ran away.
It was always beyond his reach.
A few days ago, when there was unhappiness between him and Jiang Zhige, he received a handwritten letter from his slow return, in which he asked him to return to the Tianmu Forest as soon as possible without delay.
Therefore, he came back alone without even saying hello to Jiang Zhige.
He does not deny that in addition to the urgency of time, there is also a reason for the gas.
Along the way, he didn't know how to describe his mood at this time. Although he was forced to leave the Forest of Heavenly Trees by Slow Return, not long ago, when his life and death were uncertain, he was also his only relative, Slow Return, who was frantically looking for him between the five continents.
Probably, she is still the person who cares about him the most besides Master.
After all, blood is thicker than water.
No matter how bad it is, she is still his dearest and beloved. He was the same.
And the Master, for such a long time after she woke up, never appeared, and he did not know where to go, which made him very worried.
Along the way, he was preoccupied, on one side he was worried, and on the other hand, he was apprehensive, which made it difficult for him to adapt.
As he was trekking, an incomparably sharp arrow broke away from half of the mountainside from somewhere in the forest, like a streamer piercing through everything, and shot straight at the ground in front of him!
"Who?!"
Twilight keenly caught this unusual movement, leaned back, and deftly avoided the arrow!
I saw that arrow, with a "Zheng-" sound, plunged into the soil in front of him, more than three feet into the ground!
Looking carefully, the end of the arrow feather is engraved with a clear - "return".
Of course Twilight recognizes this arrow!
"Sister?"
He looked slowly in the direction the arrow was coming from!
Sure enough, on half of the mountainside, there is a graceful figure who is slow to return to the country and the city!
Slow to return saw Twilight open towards her, and there were laugh lines around the corners of her eyes slowly stretching out.
Then she took the bow in her hand, and flew high with her wings outstretched, her body as light as a swallow, and flew towards him with a smile of great satisfaction!
In an instant, the figure of the slow return was already standing in front of the twilight. She only relied on a leaf and a branch as a support, stepped on it, and her body was about to stand on it, and said slowly: "Chi Dusk, you are back." Let's go, my sister has something to discuss with you. ”
The tone of the slow return was still as cold to the twilight as ever, but in the afterglow of her eyes, it was full of joy of reunion.
Also, a trace of deep concern that I had never seen in the twilight.
Slow returned to lead the way, and Twilight followed, passing through countless trees in the woods. The further she went, the more Twilight frowned.
- The slow return is not the road leading to the palace of the Heavenly Wood Forest, but the direction leading to the secluded and deep forbidden road.
"Sister, where are you taking me?"
Twilight asked, puzzled.
The slow return paused for a moment, hesitated for a moment, slowly turned his head, there was a deep hatred in his eyes, and said softly: "Take you to see your father." ”
"Daddy? Didn't my father and mother pass away a long time ago? ”
A hint of surprise crossed Chi Dui's eyes, but he followed the footsteps of Chi Hui in a few steps!
Although Chi Hui is the eldest sister, he has never mentioned in front of Chi Twilight how their father and mother passed away.
At this time, he said that he would take him to see his father and mother on the forbidden road, and suddenly, infinite doubts and uneasiness arose in his heart!
And, what, is he not aware of?
"Yes. Our father and mother have passed away. But do you know how they died? ”
A strong hatred rose in the eyes of the slow return, and he bit his lower lip fiercely!
"What......?"
Chi Twilight was stunned for a moment, stood in place, and when she looked up, she saw a tomb!
It is impressively engraved - "The eighth day of the first month of the year of Gengyin." ”!
"The eighth day of the first month of the year of Gengyin? Isn't this the day the war ended a hundred years ago?! ”
Twilight suddenly came to her senses, pointed to the date on the tombstone with trembling fingertips, and asked in disbelief, "Is it ......?" ”
"Yes. Our father and mother died on that day and year, under the sword of the flicker! ”
Slowly, he said clearly word by word, the anger in his eyes had already turned red, and there were faint tears flickering in it!
"Wow!"
The words of slow return are like a thunderbolt, exploding in Chi Dusk's ears!
He froze in place, looked at Chi Hui with difficulty, and asked, "What do you ......?" ”
