Chapter 16: A Breakthrough in Life and Death
Then Yin Xiao asked again: "How is it, how do you feel after breaking through?" ”
After calming down his excitement, Huo Xiaolu said: "It's okay, I feel that my strength has indeed improved a lot, but I always feel that the breath in my body is unstable, and it seems that it is difficult to control them." Pen Fun Pavilion www.biquge.info"
"It's normal, after all, the strength you just improved was obtained for nothing, and you definitely can't get used to it for a while, just wait for you to consolidate your foundation." Yin Xiao said.
After that, he looked at the sky and said, "Your success is a little earlier than I expected, let's go, go and celebrate your golden crow physique, Cangyu also specially asked the kitchen to make you a big meal to comfort you." ”
stretched a big lazy waist, and after tossing for so long, Huo Xiaolu did feel a little tired. He smiled a little embarrassedly and said, "How embarrassing is this." ”
patted him on the shoulder, and said with a smile: "Okay, I've been suffering for you in the past few days, so don't say these kind words." Let's go, I guess it's almost time to eat. ”
The two of them went into the house one after the other, and the sun behind them slowly set down, leaving only a touch of orange in the sky. At some point, a few stars appeared in the sky, silently staring at the world below, erasing some of the winter chill a little.
There was suddenly a powerful boost on his side, which made the people in the Fire family camp very happy, and their morale was greatly boosted for a while, and they were full of confidence in the outcome of this dispute. This is indeed happy news, but not everyone can laugh, such as Huo Liuli, who is now missing the Yin Lord and worrying about his current situation.
Before, when the Yin Lord left, she understood the hint of life and death, so she had been very sad in her heart for the past few days, but now the situation is special, and she has been suppressing this kind of mood to prevent others from seeing it. Later, when she came to the Styx, she learned from Huihui's mouth that the Yin Lord was not dead, and that she would be able to return soon, and she was ecstatic after getting the news, and she had been looking forward to the Yin Lord coming back soon. But it's been so long, and there is still no news from the Yin Lord.
Her heart began to worry again, could there be something wrong with the Yin Lord? Some time ago, there was Huo Xiaolu's matter to distract her, but now that this matter is over, her heart is rippling again.
Standing by the window at the end of the hallway, she opened the window and let the cold wind blow her hair all over her head, trying to calm her feverish mind.
"What's wrong? Get up on the wrong side of the bed? ”
Hearing a voice behind him, Huo Liuli turned around and saw that Yin Xiao was walking towards this side.
Closing the window casually, Huo Liuli smiled: "No." ”
Yin Xiao naturally knew that she wasn't telling the truth, but he didn't rush to ask. After walking to Huo Liuli and standing still, he slowly spoke: "Is it for the Yin Lord?" ”
Hearing this, Huo Liuli's heart was shocked, but on the surface, he remained silent: "It's a little, and I don't know when he will come back." ”
Suddenly, Yin Xiao sighed lightly and said, "Is something wrong with him?" ”
Huo Liuli looked at him in surprise and said, "No, how could you say that." ”
Glancing at her, Yin Xiao said lightly: "Don't pretend, the corners of your clothes will be rubbed by you." ”
Like an electric shock, Huo Liuli let go of the hand that had been holding the corner of his clothes, closed his mouth and was silent.
Seeing this, Yin Xiao smiled faintly: "Actually, I was suspicious when he went to pick you up but didn't come back, and your abnormality these days has made me firm in my guess." ”
After a pause, he said: "Besides, after all, he is my son, if something happens to him, I can't be a father who doesn't have any sense at all, he should have had an accident some time ago." ”
Hearing this, Huo Liuli subconsciously clenched his fists again: "But when I went to the Styx Sea before, the maid of the master of the Stygian Sea told me that the Yin Lord was fine, and that he would be able to go home after a while." She shouldn't have had to lie to me. ”
"Of course she won't lie to you, the Yin Lord will be fine." Yin Xiao nodded.
At this time, Huo Liuli was a little puzzled: "What do you mean by this?" I don't understand why, have you always known about his movements? ”
Yin Xiao smiled and said, "He is not in the human realm at all, how can I know about him." ”
Looking at Huo Liuli's puzzled eyes, Yin Xiao explained, "The reason why I'm so sure is because I know the fate of the Yin Lord. ”
"When he was very young, I once asked a master in the Yin and Yang realm of life and death to calculate the number of fortunes for him, and that person said to me at that time, the life of the Yin Lord was extremely bumpy, and it could not even be described as painful. However, he did not die early, and no matter what happened, it was probably in danger. ”
Huo Liuli frowned: "With all due respect, Uncle Yin, are you sure this prophecy is accurate?" ”
"Of course," Yin Xiao nodded, "this man's strength is unfathomable, and he has a good personal relationship with me, so he can't lie to me." ”
"Over the years, the Yin Lord has been wandering between life and death, and if he is not careful, he will die without a place to be buried, which is in line with what the man said. But this is too dangerous, is there no way to solve this situation? Huo Ruri asked.
Yin Xiao shook his head and said helplessly: "At that time, I had the same idea as you, and I wanted to ask him if there was a way to change his life. The man told me that the fate of the Yin Lord is closely related to some big people, and if he forcibly intervenes, he may cause great trouble. ”
Huo Liuli thought of Hanyan in an instant, and in her opinion, the so-called big man could only be this master of the Stygian Sea. Thinking of this, she couldn't help but ask again: "Then can you be sure that he will be fine?" ”
"Don't worry, he still has a lot to worry about in this world," Yin Xiao comforted, "The reason why he can face death so freely is because he hasn't realized his bonds in the world yet, as long as he realizes this, he knows what to do." ”
After he said this, Huo Liuli's heart was a little relieved, but he was still a little worried. She said helplessly: "Anyway, I still hope he comes back soon, I really don't want to worry so much all the time." ”
Yin Xiao smiled and said, "Speaking of which, after the turmoil in the Yin and Yang Realm of Life and Death is over, the affairs of the two of you should also be on the agenda, right?" ”
Hearing this, Huo Liuli felt very ashamed, and said with a slightly red cheek: "There's no way, he's gone now, even if I'm willing, it's useless." ”
Yin Xiao laughed: "Don't worry, as long as you agree, you have to settle this matter first." ”
At this time, everyone was chatting enthusiastically, and the topics were basically about Huo Xiaolu. Yin Xiao glanced at the people in the living room and said, "Okay, let's go over too, after all, today's protagonist is Xiaolu, and we always have to go over to congratulate him." ”
"Hmm." Huo Liuli nodded obediently.
Needless to say, Huo Xiaolu's joy in his heart now can't help but grow in strength, and he has also become the object of everyone's attention, which makes his heart flutter a little.
But he didn't last long, because he remembered the easy stain.
This moment of joy should have been shared with her lover, and now she is not by her side. Realizing that he hadn't seen her for many days, Huo Xiaolu's heart suddenly swelled with a strong sense of longing.
So, what is peril-dyeing doing now?
The originally spacious living room was a little crowded because it was crowded with people, and Yi Ran couldn't help but sigh when he looked at these clansmen he didn't know or had never seen before.
Originally, I just went home to see my parents, but I didn't expect to coincide with the annual family meeting. Already qualified for the meeting, she was caught attending this boring party, where she sat and listened to the elders say something that was not nutritious.
The Yi family is not a big family, at least it is far from the scale of the impermanence family, but they have red tape and rigid old rules that do not belong to any family, which makes Yi Ran, who has an extroverted and cheerful personality, feel very helpless. But because of the family's prestige, she didn't dare to say anything against it.
Seeing an elder who stood up babbling something he couldn't even hear, Yi Ran couldn't help but lament in his heart: When will this boring assembly end?
While bored, she remembered Huo Xiaolu.
She didn't say hello to him when she got home, she originally planned to come back to see her parents and rush back immediately, but it was estimated that it would take two or three days at most. But now it seems that he may not be able to go back in time for the New Year.
I don't know how he's doing now, whether the matter is settled. She thought sullenly.
Seeing that she was out of the world, her mother, who was sitting next to her, touched her quietly and woke her up from her trance.
Pouting helplessly, she could only continue to listen to the boring speech that she couldn't hear clearly.
The moment the sun went down, the city of Hades appeared above the Stygian Sea. As the exclusive fortress of the master of the Stygian Sea, the Underworld has always been a mysterious place, and even the Yin Lord and Fire Liuli and others can't fully understand its magic.
Excitedly pushing open the city gate, Huihui ran to the sea happily and lay down at once.
At this time, the sea surface is calm, there is no tide and no waves, Huihui lying on it is like lying on a real waterbed, feeling very comfortable.
Just now, she had regained all her memories and had combed them out. But her state of mind has not changed, and she is still the carefree woman.
"Now that you've fully recovered, when are you going to go back to Hades?" The sound of cold smoke came from the underworld.
Hui Hui was surprised: "Back to the Underworld? Why go back? I think it's good to be here, huh? ”
Han Yan said: "After all, you are the impermanence of the underworld, and it is your responsibility to rule the underworld, and you cannot escape it. ”
Hearing this, Huihui pouted: "Why can't you escape?" Didn't I just run away for 10,000 years? ”
Listening to what she said, Han Yan was a little helpless, she was a very serious person before, but I don't know why, after staying in the Styx Sea for so long, the whole person's personality seems to have changed dramatically, and she even wondered if the other party was schizophrenic for a while.
The voice of cold smoke came from the attic of Tongtian, sounding distant and empty: "Even if you escape for ten thousand years, don't you want to go back in the end?" That's where you're supposed to be, and it's useless for you to stay in the Styx, you'll have to go back sooner or later. ”
"Don't be in a hurry," Huihui said lazily, "Anyway, those four fools have managed it well over the years, so let them manage it for a while first, and I'll go back when I'm in a good mood." ”
Saying that, she smiled and said: "Besides, I'm your maid, can you bear to drive away a maid who has been with you for 10,000 years?" ”
Han Yan said helplessly: "I don't want to either, but if you do this, the underworld will be in chaos." ”
Huihui waved her hand and said, "It's okay, it's okay, how can it be messed up no matter how messy it is?" Anyway, after three dark days there, it's almost in ruins, and I'm worried when I look at it, so I'd better let them sort it out and I'll go back. ”
When she said this, Han Yan was completely helpless, and after a moment of silence, she said: "If you really want to stay here, then stay for a while, but if something happens to the underworld, you have to rush back immediately, understand?" ”
"Got it!" Huihui waved her hand and said, "Don't worry, Miss, I won't trouble you." ”
Saying that, she seemed to suddenly remember something, and asked, "By the way, Miss, how is the Yin Gongzi now?" ”
"I don't know, isn't he still in the place of death? If you care, go back and see. Han Yan said lightly.
Hearing this, Huihui pouted and said, "Don't keep driving me out of the way, I just don't want to go back." ”
Above the attic, Han Yan smiled and didn't respond to her. Her gaze passed through the layers of barriers, all the way to the place where the Yin Lord of Hades was staying.
At this time, the Yin Lord does not seem to be in a good state. His breathing was unsteady, his heart beat was unusually weak, and his face was very pale, as if he was going to hang up at any moment.
But in fact, his condition is now so good that he has even made a breakthrough.
He has now figured out what is going on in his conscious place, and he has made the right choice. His consciousness and soul were now immersed in darkness, and it looked like it was slowly dissolving, but in fact it was growing.
The cathode is born of yang, and all things are reincarnated. Since he had chosen a path of death before, he had to go down this road no matter what, and only when he reached the end of the road of death could he see the hope of life.
The world and life are like a sphere, constantly running in a cycle of reincarnation, and what the Yin Lord has to do now is to find the junction of the cycle of life and death, and cross it.
He's been dead for so many years, and he's really wanting to live once, if not in the true sense of the word.
Watching him struggle silently, Han Yan in the attic of Tongtian felt an inexplicable pain in his heart, and his eyebrows frowned slightly.
