Chapter 315: Sunset on the Ancient Road
"Don't let him get near the princess's quarters, stop him!"
General Wu's cold voice came faintly from behind him, and the Yin soldiers around him immediately swarmed in.
I grabbed the long sword in my hand and subconsciously wanted to kill the Yin soldiers who surrounded me quickly, but after thinking that these were Jun Yao's subordinates, I sighed softly, threw the long sword to the ground, turned my hand into a palm, and cut down all the Yin soldiers who ushered in, and for a long time I didn't see General Wu make any moves, I made up my mind, and I used the figure of the wind to the extreme, just a moment of effort, and I stepped on the warships and came to Yan Buhuan's residence.
There was silence on the riverbank, and there was no movement in the house, so he shook off the layers of encircled Yin soldiers, got off the boat and went ashore, and when he pushed the door open, he saw Wei Junyao standing at the door with a pale face, looking at me and smiling: "You're back." ”
I nodded, didn't speak, looked around, and found no figure other than her, puzzled, "Who's coming?" ”
Wei Junyao frowned slightly, sighed softly, and wanted to step out, but her body staggered to one side, I hurriedly helped her up, Wei Junyao glanced at me lightly, the corners of her mouth pulled out a smile with difficulty, let me help her to the shore, and said to General Wu who was standing at the bow of the boat: "Go back." ”
General Wu seemed a little uneasy, and when he wanted to stop talking, Wei Junyao waved his hand: "Xiao Yi is here, it's okay." ”
After General Wu and the warships were all out of sight, Wei Junyao turned his head and looked at me carefully, nodded, and said with a smile: "I have grown a lot, I heard that Sha Qinglie led his troops to attack Liuyundu, and I was worried, it seems that I am too worried." ”
At this moment, although Wei Junyao's face looked a little colorless, the mental state of the whole person was much better than before leaving, and at the same time, she couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief in her heart, thinking of what she had just said to General Wu, she couldn't help but ask, "Is someone looking for trouble?" ”
Wei Junyao shook her head, lifted the corners of her skirt and sat cross-legged on the ground directly, sighed slightly and said, "The ghost baby of the Yellow River has been found." ”
When I heard the name of the Yellow River Ghost Baby, I was directly stunned, and a sense of foreboding suddenly rose in my heart, and I gritted my teeth and said, "What is he doing here?" ”
"Talk about the conditions."
Wei Junyao said softly: "He knows that you were rescued by me at the bottom of the Jiuquan River, and your remnant soul is immortal, so he came to tell me that I will hand over the Wushan forces before I can let you go." ”
A faint sentence exploded in my heart like thunder, and before I could calm down, Wei Junyao looked up at me and said: "And Sister Yu, the wolf demon and others are in his hands at the moment, although he has not revealed his identity for the time being, and it can be regarded as safe, but if I don't agree to his conditions, everything will be unpredictable." ”
"Can't promise him."
I didn't even think about it and said, "He's dealing with me, and it has nothing to do with you." ”
But Wei Junyao shook his head: "It's useless, my current strength is far inferior to him, if you don't agree to his conditions, not only will the lives of you and your friends be in danger, but he will also make the news of my serious injury public, and then you don't have to wait for him to do it, the other three major forces will come one after another to carve up and eat Wu Shan, no matter what, Wu Shan can't be saved." ”
I never thought that the ambition of the Yellow River Ghost Infant was so great, the first thing he did when he was born was not to go to Jiuquan Mansion, but to devour the forces of Wushan, so that he could become one of the four major forces in the ancient road without much effort, and then get involved in the Nine Prisons and Nine Springs, plotting against the Yellow River gall, everything was just around the corner?
Thinking about it, I felt a little chill behind my back, but I still shook my head, and just wanted to speak, but I saw Wei Junyao sigh softly, looked at me with both eyes and said, "Xiao Yi, can you hug me?" ”
My heart trembled, looking at her haggard face, thinking back to the past, the red back that appeared in sight countless times, and the loneliness of today formed a strong contrast, and I couldn't help but feel a little sour nose.
Sitting on the side, trembling hands gently wrapped around her shoulders, and before her fingers touched her clothes, Wei Junyao leaned her head on my shoulders and hugged each other speechlessly.
"I originally wanted to resist all the hardships in the world and protect you from worrying in this life, but now it seems that I need you to protect me again."
Wei Junyao whispered with his head on his chest, but when it came to his ears, there was a stinging pain like a knife, and he took a breath lightly and said, "Don't worry, you protect me for a lifetime, and I will guard you forever." ”
Wei Junyao smiled sweetly, her eyes were full of joy, and then she struggled to sit up slightly, looked at me and said, "Why don't we go to Luoyan Town, just like then, the four sides of heaven and earth are rivers and lakes, and the light boat and bamboo raft fight the world, wouldn't it be wonderful?" ”
Seeing Wei Junyao's cowardly appearance of being weak, how could I have the heart to refuse, nodded and said, "Okay!" ”
But then frowned and said, "But are you really going to give up Wu Shan to the ghost baby?" ”
Wei Junyao pursed his lips and muttered: "Wu Shan is my family property that I have painstakingly managed for many years, although the available people are not as large as the other three major forces, but they are all heartfelt, even if I agree to his conditions, he can't properly take the entire Wu Mountain so quickly, there are many accidents, and in addition to General Wu, there are a few cronies under me who have never appeared in front of people, leaving them there can be a return to Wushan for me to blow the east wind." ”
I nodded slightly, Wei Junyao's mind and strategy are far beyond me, and when I heard that she didn't plan to give up the entire Wushan to the ghost baby so easily, my heart suddenly became much more steady.
After a moment of silence, I raised my head to look left and right, remembering that I had not seen Yan Buhuan until now, so I was curious about his whereabouts.
"The ghost baby seems to have some trouble fusing with your body, and I can't solve it myself, so I kidnapped Yan Buhuan before leaving."
Wei Junyao bit her lip when she said this, and said: "And even if you stabilize the remnant soul with your grandmother, it only delays the time of survival in the world, if you want to stay in the world for a long time, you must reshape the physical body, with the strength of you and me, it is not difficult to forcibly seize the physical body in the ancient road, but I don't know if it is with your heart." ”
I shook my head, stared at the slowly flowing river, and whispered, "I don't want anyone's body." ”
Wei Junyao looked at me in surprise and pursed her lips, "You want to be yourself?" ”
"Hmm."
sighed deeply, and when she saw that she was a little speechless, she smiled lightly, "Don't worry, I have my own measure." ”
"Actually, it's not necessarily a good thing for you to come to the ancient path now and practice here."
For a long time, Wei Junyao said lightly.
I knew what she wanted to say, so I shook my head bitterly and said: "One day in the ancient road, one month in the world, even if you can increase your strength here, I am afraid that time waits for no one, and when you return to the world, you can see a few old people again." ”
After saying that, Wei Junyao suddenly sneered, stood up and patted the plaster on the hem of her skirt, pointed to the sky and said, "What do you think this is?" ”
Wei Junyao's actions were a little familiar, when she saw that her finger was facing the sun in the sky, she remembered that Aunt Seventh in Liuyundu had also asked me to pay attention to this place, and couldn't help but stand up, squint and look up, and found that the sun was red, soaked in the sunset on the horizon, and it was estimated that it would be dark in another hour, but what does this have to do with time?
Seeing that I frowned and was puzzled, Wei Junyao smiled and said, "Where is the sun born and where does it set?" ”
I pouted: "The east rises and the west falls." ”
"Then do you remember where the sunset was when you first came to the ancient road?" Wei Junyao asked again.
"For the first time?"
I thought about it with heavy eyebrows, the first time I sat in the ancient wooden coffin with Huaibei and Huang Ci and entered the ancient road just in time for the sunset, I was still shocked by the scene of the sunset and couldn't return to my senses for a long time, the direction of the sunset was west, and the ......
My body trembled, I looked down at the river flowing at my feet, I remembered that the rivers here were all in the same direction, the sunset was facing the flow of the Yellow River, the junction of heaven and earth, but the sunset in front of me was actually in the opposite direction of the river's flow, that is, from the west to the east?
My head was a little foggy, and I looked at Wei Junyao staring at me with a wicked smile and said: "The last time you came to the ancient road, the sunset was rising in the east and setting in the west, one day here, one month in the world, but now it is rising in the west and setting in the east, that is to say, the ancient road is in January, and the world is one day." ”
