Chapter 15: The King
"You say, we're just waiting here, it's not a solution, right?"
Under the dim starlight, Huo Xiaolu and Yi Ran sat in the middle of the road at the entrance of the Yin Family Manor, looking up and counting the stars in the sky. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info but the more it is easy to dye, the more impatient I become, and I feel a little trance in front of me.
After listening to Yi Zhan's complaint, Huo Xiaolu also sighed and said, "Yes, it's been so long, why haven't they come back?" ”
Feeling the tranquility around him, the mood of the easy dye is not calm at all. She tilted her head sideways, looked at Huo Xiaolu and said, "Then why don't we go back first?" ”
"No," Huo Xiaolu flatly refused, "We've been waiting for so long, maybe they'll be back soon, if we leave, how can we get anything on this trip?" ”
Yi Ran pinched his eyebrows and said, "But it's always a little bad for us to disturb people here, right?" ”
Hearing her say this, Huo Xiaolu also frowned. Lowering his head and shaking his somewhat sore neck, he said, "It's not good...... But there's no way around it, so let's wait. ”
Burying his face in his knees, Yi Ran said in a sullen voice, "I always feel that this is a little bad. ”
"But I don't think Aunt Luo is very enthusiastic about you?" As he spoke, Huo Xiaolu glanced at the Yin family villa behind him.
As soon as I mentioned this easy dye, I felt a headache: "It's because my aunt is so enthusiastic that I am a little embarrassed." ”
Huo Xiaolu smiled and said, "Okay, then let's wait for two more days, if they don't come back in two days, we'll leave, okay?" ”
"Hmm." Yi Ran didn't raise his head and agreed in a muffled voice.
Seeing her depressed appearance, Huo Xiaolu felt a little funny, patted her head and said, "Okay, look at you like this, I don't know what grievances I think you have suffered." Hurry up, let's go back. ”
"I can't get up." Yi Dye still doesn't lift his head.
Huo Xiaolu was a little puzzled: "What's wrong?" ”
Slowly raising his head, his face flushed a little from the stuffiness. She grinned, "My leg is numb......"
Hearing this, Huo Xiaolu couldn't help but roll his eyes. He stood up, bent down, and with a hand, hugged Yi Ran by the waist.
At this time, Yi Ran finally showed a smiling face, looking like a child who had been careful and had succeeded.
The stars in the sky were silent and silent, shimmering with their own light, this starry sky that has existed for an unknown number of years, sprinkling brilliance on the earth for hundreds of millions of years. In the human world, there are ink writers who have written countless words praising the stars, and in Hades, there are many lonely ghosts bathed in the starlight and murmuring alone. But in the Styx, only the icy waters responded silently to the starry sky.
At this time, it was the time of high tide, and the Stygian Sea, which had been calm for a day, was finally showing its joyful side, and the black water was constantly surging, and the huge waves like mountains looked like a tsunami, and it looked very scary, as if the sky was turned upside down. However, no matter how terrifying the scene on the sea is, it can't compare to Ghost Jiao's heart at this time.
The ghost Jiao's body trembled slightly at an extent that it was not even aware of, and even the scales on its body rattled a little. Since opening the spiritual wisdom, it has been wild and untamable, from the yang world to the underworld, it is almost not afraid of heaven and earth, it is proud of its superior strength, and it never takes anyone in its eyes. But now in the face of the cold smoke, the fear in the depths of its eyes could not be hidden.
Just when its head was already so low that it was about to touch the ground, the momentum around Han Yan's body suddenly subsided, and the ghost Jiao was finally able to take a breath. However, even so, it felt like it was seriously ill, and it had no strength at all.
Han Yan smiled slightly: "Don't be nervous, raise your head." ”
With some hesitation, Ghost Jiao slowly raised his head. However, it still didn't dare to look directly at the cold smoke, and its eyes were still a little unnatural.
"I already know where you came from, so I won't say anything more. I ask you, when do you plan to return to Hades? The tone of the embarrassed face was very flat, without a little emotional fluctuation, but there was a great sense of oppression in the ears of the ghost Jiao.
Its head was buried lower: "I came to the Styx Sea by chance, but I don't know how to go back." ”
"It's okay, although you can't leave the Styx, I can send you back." Han Yan's face was expressionless, and it was as if he was drinking water and eating, "If you want, I can send you away now." ”
Ghost Jiao hesitated for a moment, then raised his head boldly and said, "I'm not busy, I'm not busy, but I have a question I want to ask you." ”
Han Yan's gentle gaze seemed to have seen through the mind of the ghost Jiao: "You ask." ”
"Dare to ask Your Excellency, is it the Lord of the Stygian Sea?" As soon as he said this, Ghost Jiao felt that it could start to sweat under its scales, and its heart was very nervous, expecting Han Yan to give it a surprise answer.
After being silent for a while, Han Yan spoke, "Sort of." ”
Hearing this, the ghost Jiao felt even hotter, and it raised its head, its eyes a little eager: "Then, I, can I follow you and stay in the Stygian Sea to practice?" ”
As soon as these words came out, Huo Liuli felt a little surprised, and wondered why it was willing to stay in this lifeless Stygian Sea and not return to the Underworld. But there was no surprise on Huihui's face, and she looked like she should have been.
There was a slight smile hidden on Hanyan's face: "Reason." ”
Ghost Jiao whispered, "I hope to practice with you and achieve positive results as soon as possible." ”
Looking at the lights of thousands of homes outside that have existed for I don't know how many years, Han Yan's face only has a deep and shallow indifference. She just stood there quietly, and without moving, she had become the focus of the whole city, and even the starlight in the sky favored her, softly sprinkled between the hems of her skirts, and there was not a trace of coldness. The evening breeze caressed her long hair, and in an instant, even the waves outside were like mountains, and the sound of the waves became much quieter unconsciously.
His eyes, which were a little softer than the sea, seemed to have a little starlight in them, and his tone was a little lonely: "The days of cultivation are very lonely, it is possible that you will not see a person for thousands of years, can you bear it?" ”
As soon as he heard that he was going to spend thousands of years alone, Ghost Jiao couldn't help but shudder. But then its gaze became firm again: "Yes." ”
Han Yan smiled lightly and said softly, "In this case, then you can stay." ”
Ghost Jiao couldn't help but be overjoyed: "Thank you, Your Excellency!" ”
Waving his hand slightly, Han Yan said, "Don't thank me, you chose the road yourself, don't regret it." ”
Then she said: "However, since you have decided to stay, you must naturally have a legitimate identity." ”
Reaching out and taking a handful of the night breeze and putting it to his ear, it seemed that he was listening to the sound of the wind, and a smile bloomed on Hanyan's face: "Then so be it." ”
Ghost Jiao didn't understand what was going on, but listened to Han Yan continue: "Since you are a unique ghost Jiao between heaven and earth, you have the ability to turn over rivers and seas, and you are born with the talent to control thunder, then, let's call you 'King of Leichuan'." ”
Hearing this, the ghost Jiao was stunned for a moment, and then he was ecstatic in his heart, lowered his head and said, "Xie Zun." ”
Looking at the excited appearance of the ghost Jiao, Huo Liuli was a little puzzled, and quietly asked Huihui: "It's just a name, is it so excited?" ”
Glancing at her meaningfully, Huihui didn't explain to her, but said, "Some things are not as simple as you see. ”
Frowning, Huo Liuli was a little confused, but Huihui still didn't mean to explain to her, just let her continue to read.
I saw that as soon as Han Yan waved his hand, two small horns appeared on the top of the ghost Jiao's head. Huo Liuli's heart suddenly shook greatly, what this meant She knew it clearly, and it was not surprising to see the ghost Jiao with his head down as if he was meeting a god.
After doing all this, Hanyan said, "Okay, your business is done, let's step back first." Huihui, find it a place to live in this attic of Babel. ”
Huihui nodded in agreement and went downstairs with the ghost Jiao, leaving the fire glass there silent.
"What's the matter, Fire Maiden, is there anything else?"
Huo Liuli pursed her lips and said, "I'll wait for the Yin Lord." ”
Hanyan smiled slightly and said, "Don't wait for him, you go back first, I have something to say to him when he comes up." ”
Almost instantly, Huo Liuli wanted to refuse, but looking at her soft eyes, as if there was magic, I don't know why she nodded in agreement.
Watching her turn around and go downstairs step by step, the smile on Hanyan's face disappeared and was replaced by the same indifferent appearance as always.
The Yin Lord walked upstairs unhurriedly, looked at her and said, "Is the matter of the ghost Jiao done?" ”
"That's it." Hanyan's voice was very soft, and there was never too much tenderness in his tone.
Nodding, the Yin Lord looked around and asked, "What about Liuli and Sister Huihui?" ”
"I sent him away."
Hearing this, the Yin Lord raised his eyebrows: "What's the matter?" ”
Hanyan came closer, flipped her hand, and a half-fist-sized, bloodstone-like crystal appeared in her palm.
Staring at the crystal, his gaze was a little confused, and Han Yan said, "It's time to give you back the ghost heart." (To be continued.) )
