Chapter Seventy-Six: The Covenant of the Maple Grove
On the way back, Luo Yao was a little silent.
Seeing that Luo Yao hadn't spoken much, Jie Ran thought that her injuries had worsened again, so he pulled her back and wanted to check her again.
Luo Yao hurriedly stopped, hesitated, looked up at Jie Ran and said, "I don't know why, I always have a bad premonition in my heart." Brother Jieran, you say, will he be sought revenge by his former enemies in the past? ”
"So you're worried about him." Jie Ran understood, thought about it, and replied, "It's hard to say, after all, he did a lot of evil before, and now that he has lost his biggest reliance, the Xiyue Sword, he will inevitably be remembered by those who have offended before." ”
When Luo Yao heard him say this, he was even more worried, regretting that he didn't take Yixi away just now. Regardless, he is the only son of the former Luna God. Even for the sake of the face of the previous moon god, the Protoss has an obligation to contain and treat him well.
Seeing her sullen appearance, Jie Ran's heart softened, and said, "In this way, I'll send someone back to keep an eye on him, and if he really has something, we can rush over in time to help." ”
Luo Yao looked at Jie Ran with grateful little eyes, causing a burst of ridicule from Meng Yi next to him. Luo Yao stood upside down, rolled up his sleeves and went up to beat him.
Jie Ran picked a soldier who looked safe and explained the matter to him. The soldier replied respectfully and flew back in the clouds.
By the time they returned to the battlefield, it was almost dusk. After a fierce battle all day, both sides won and lost. The sky darkened inch by inch, Qianji and Tianshu glanced at each other across the quicksand river, and ordered in unison to withdraw the troops.
The teams of both sides withdrew in an orderly manner.
When Chiki returned to the tent, Hanchen was already sitting inside drinking tea and waiting for him.
Seeing his leisurely appearance, Chiki couldn't help but smile and said, "You will hide from the leisure." ”
Hanchen also smiled and said, "It's just acting, and it's not really a battle of life and death, so why are you so serious?" ”
"What did that guy say?" Chiki sat down across from Hanchen and asked.
"The play is almost done, and it's time to end." Hanchen took a sip of tea and replied.
Qianji understood, summoned the silver dragon protector, and gave a low command. The silver dragon responded one by one, saluted the two, lifted the curtain and left.
At this time, in the tent of the Protoss.
"Dead?!" When Luo Yao heard the words of the stalking soldier, his eyes widened, and he said incredulously, "How is this possible? He was fine when we left. Why did it happen after a while? ”
The soldier also seemed a little unbearable, but still replied truthfully, "It's true, the death is very miserable, it was pierced with a sharp weapon, and the body knelt on the ground." When I arrived, the ground was covered in blood and the body was stiff. ”
Luo Yao involuntarily took two steps back, and Jie Ran hurriedly stepped forward to support her.
"If you don't give me the Xiyue Sword, nothing will happen to him." Luo Yao said in a low voice, "It's all my fault, I shouldn't have asked for this sword at all." ”
Jie Ran heard the frustration in her tone, gently hugged her shoulder, and comforted, "It's not your fault, it's his fate that deserves this catastrophe." ”
Luo Yao didn't answer, and suddenly looked up and asked, "Who killed him?" ”
The soldier said he didn't know, and when he went, he didn't see anyone else at the scene.
Jie Ran slowly spoke, and said meaningfully, "After we left, the Demon Venerable seemed to be with him. ”
Luo Yao didn't think about it and said, "It's not Hanchen." ”
Jie Ran was silent, looked down at her, and saw that she also lowered her head, before asking, "Why are you so sure?" ”
Luo Yao opened his mouth and did not speak.
I can't tell him that there is no reason, she just believes that Hanchen will not do such a thing.
If she said this reason, she would find it funny.
Jie Ran looked down at her quietly, and his eyes gradually coated with a complex and indistinguishable light.
The voices of soldiers outside the tent broke the embarrassment. The soldier came over to convey Tianshu's message and asked Jieran to go to the school field and train with him.
Jie Ran replied lightly that he knew, and walked out of the camp tent without even saying hello to Luo Yao.
Luo Yao was sure that he was really angry this time.
She hung her head and smiled bitterly in her heart.
The sky outside had not yet completely darkened, and the afterglow of the setting sun shone on the surface of the river.
Luo Yao recited a mantra, took out the Xiyue Sword, walked out of the tent, and flew towards the valley with it.
"Where are you going?"
Suddenly, a voice appeared in Luo Yao's ears. She was thinking about who was responsible for Yixi's death, and she didn't pay attention to the surroundings, but just replied casually, "Go and see Yixi." ”
"When people are dead, what are you going to see?"
Luo Yao was a little irritable and said, "What's the matter with you?" ”
A man's laughing voice came from there, and he asked rhetorically, "Why is it none of my business?" We have had skin to skin relations, and this gentleman cares about you, shouldn't we? ”
Luo Yao's mind suddenly woke up. No, this voice is ......
She suddenly lowered her head, and sure enough, the shackles appeared on her feet again.
At this time, the sound came from the shackles.
Luo Yao reacted, and before he could run back, he was taken away by the shackles again.
A gust of wind blew in his ears, and when he opened his eyes again, he saw Hanchen sitting at a stone table drinking tea, with a fiery red maple forest behind him.
Hanchen poured half a cup of fragrant tea into her cup and beckoned her to come and taste it.
Luo Yao didn't have the heart to be polite to him, so he rushed up and asked him angrily, "Hanchen! Are you used to being a bandit? Did you know that kidnapping girls is immoral? You have kidnapped me again and again, you are more of a bandit than a bandit! ”
Hanchen raised his head calmly and replied with an innocent face, "Did I kidnap me?" What a thing. I obviously invited you over very politely. ”
Luo Yao sat on the stone bench opposite him, his feet raised in front of him, "Is that how you invited people?" ”
Hanchen really pressed her pair of long legs and slender feet, took a good look, and Luo Yao's face turned red when she saw it, and then slowly put her legs down and said, "Isn't this better than taking a cloud car?" Don't underestimate this dark iron white jade shackles, it is a very famous travel tool of the demon race, and it is no problem to travel hundreds of millions of miles a day. If you want to see me, just say a few numbers and you will appear in front of me. ”
Luo Yao smacked at him, "Who wants to see you?" ”
Hanchen wasn't annoyed or angry, he just looked at her with a smile, "You." ”
Luo Yao bit her lip and glared at him.
This person, as expected, can't have illusions about him.
Scoundrel is a disease, this person is already terminally ill, and it is estimated that he will not be cured in this life.
Hanchen looked like she was about to blow up, smiled and recited a mantra, hiding the shackles. Then he picked up the cup of tea, put it in Luo Yao's hand, and coaxed softly, "Okay, it's rare for the two of us to see each other alone, so don't be angry with me." How about drinking tea with me and appreciating the maple leaves? The maple forest here is very distinctive, and when I first came here, I thought I would definitely take you to see it next time. ”
Luo Yao pouted and didn't reply. But his head couldn't help but turn to the maple forest.
It's really beautiful. The evening breeze blows, and the leaves flutter, like fire and like xia. Layer upon layer, tree by tree, and the fiery clouds in the sky, it is impossible to distinguish between the sky and the underground.
Luo Yao couldn't help but whisper in admiration. Hanchen looked at her like this, smiled and said, "If you like it, it's fine." ”
The two of them drank late autumn tea together and enjoyed the scenery of late autumn.
When the sun set, Hanchen conjured a fire and a pheasant out of nowhere, and roasted them on the fire.
Luo Yao tilted his head and asked him, why don't you just conjure a roasted one?
Hanchen smiled and replied, "I want you to taste my craft." ”
Looking at his handsome and smiling eyebrows across the fire, Luo Yao felt that his heart was beating so fast for some reason.
She took a deep breath, trying to suppress the emotions that shouldn't have been.
"Did you kill Memories?" Thinking of that incident, Luo Yao hesitated for a while, but still asked.
Hanchen shook his head, flipped the roast chicken on the shelf, sprinkled condiments on it, and said, "I have no grievances with him, why waste time killing him?" ”
Yes, it does seem like his answer.
Luo Yao smiled slightly, and asked again, "It's not you, that's Mingwei?" ”
Hanchen said nonchalantly, "Maybe." ”
Luo Yao held his cheek with one hand, looked at his side face, and asked, "Why don't you demons take life as your life?" ”
Hanchen's hand paused slightly, turned his head to look at her, and said with a smile, "Don't kill a boatload of people with a stick, I didn't do anything this time." ”
Luo Yao lowered his eyes, didn't say anything, and only said in a half-ring, "I'm sorry." ”
This time it really shocked Hanchen. He put the roast chicken aside and turned to look at her, "You actually learned to apologize, it seems that you have been hit hard this time." Tell me, what's going on? ”
"It's not me," Luo Yao nodded at the Xiyue Sword next to him with his head, "It's it." ”
Hanchen was slightly stunned, and then smiled, "I didn't expect a sword to be quite affectionate." What, does he want you to avenge his former master? ”
Luo Yao shook his head and said, "No, it doesn't have that intention. It just feels sad. She pointed to her chest and said slowly, "That sadness is passing through the sword body, little by little, to my heart. ”
Hearing this, Hanchen's eyebrows slowly raised.
Luo Yao smiled when he saw this and said, "You don't believe it, do you? Actually, I thought I might be hallucinating. ”
"Not an illusion." Unexpectedly, Hanchen actually said with certainty. He looked at the sword, then at Luo Yao, and the corners of his mouth slowly curled.
"Luo Luo," he said with a smile, "it seems that your talent is even higher than I thought. ”
"What do you mean?" Luo Yao was puzzled.
Hanchen patiently explained to her, "Getting an artifact doesn't mean you really own it. Only when you can communicate with the artifact's heart and exert the greatest power of the artifact itself, can you be regarded as its qualified owner. Now, you can feel the emotions of the Moon Sword, indicating that you have understood how to communicate with it. ”
