After throwing down this sentence, the four slaves took their leave, leaving the Yin Lord and Huo Xiaolu frowning. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
"What does he mean by that?" Huo Xiaolu didn't like this way of communicating with dumb riddles, which made him feel a headache, "Could it be that you want to say that they will attack me?" ā
The Yin Lord shook his head: "How is this possible, if the meaning is really so simple, he still cares about what the heavens do." ā
Huo Xiaolu scratched his head vigorously, and the expression on his face was very depressed: "What the hell does this mean, it really hurts." ā
After thinking about it carefully to no avail, the Yin Lord also gave up thinking: "There is no eyebrow in this matter now, let's talk about it." ā
Originally, they wanted to wait for Granny Lin to come back and discuss it together, but they waited in the ancestral hall for a long time and Granny Lin was nowhere to be seen, so they had to give up.
The two of them walked back slowly, the expressions on their faces were a little serious, and the atmosphere was slightly dull.
At this time, the village is very quiet, most of them go to work, and not many people are idle at home. Yin Lord and Huo Xiaolu paced slowly on the flat country road, their heads bowed, each thinking about their own thoughts.
"Yin Lord," Huo Xiaolu spoke, his face a little dazed, "You say, will I die soon." ā
Listening to his tone without a trace of warmth, the Yin Lord's already clenched fists subconsciously tightened, and said with a smile: "What do you think, how can you hang up so easily." ā
Huo Xiaolu smiled self-deprecatingly: "Actually, you don't have to comfort me, this is my calamity, and I have some premonitions." ā
He raised his head and looked at the Yin Lord, and then buried his head again: "I know, you can't help me this time." ā
The Yin Lord's eyes widened: "What are you kidding?" ā
At any time, he didn't know what he thought, and smiled helplessly.
Out of the corner of his eye, he caught a glimpse of the smile on the corner of his mouth, and Huo Xiaolu asked him, "What are you laughing at, so obscene." ā
This time, the Yin Lord didn't bother with him, and said with a chuckle: "It's nothing, it's just that I suddenly thought of when I first met you." ā
Hearing this, Huo Xiaolu was also a little in a trance: "Three years ago? ā
The Yin Lord nodded: "Yes, it's been almost three years. Back then, you were a fool haunted by demons and didn't know anything. ā
Huo Xiaolu also laughed: "In more than two years, my life has changed so much. ā
Suddenly, the wind rose, and I didn't feel cool when it blew on my body, but I only felt bleak. The clouds in the sky gradually dissipated, and the sun showed its face, but the sun did not feel warm at all.
"Do you hate me?" The Yin Lord asked suddenly.
Huo Xiaolu was stunned for a moment, and then smiled: "What do I hate you for?" ā
The Yin Lord pursed his lips and said, "Actually, you could have been a student who didn't know anything, and lived your college life quietly, and lived this life peacefully...... It seems that since I appeared, your life has started to be magnificent. ā
After listening to him, Huo Xiaolu couldn't help laughing: "You don't have to take responsibility for yourself, I don't feel good at all if you do this." ā
"A lot of things are predestined, and it's not like you can refuse if you want to. Even without you, my catastrophe will still come as scheduled, I will still meet Yi Zhan, and there will still be many bulls, ghosts, snakes, and gods who will fight my golden crow physique. This is not what you bring, it is the experience and calamity that I should have in my life. ā
He patted the Yin Lord on the shoulder and said with a smile, "What's more, how many times have you saved me since my 'nightmare'?" ā
The Yin Lord didn't say anything more, just patted him on the shoulder as well and continued to walk back with him.
Back at home, Huo Xiaolu's parents had already prepared the meal, and the Yin Lord, who had been tired for several days, finally had a delicious meal. Looking at the appearance of the two young people gobbling up, Huo Mu smiled happily.
She asked Huo Xiaolu: "Can you stay a few more days when you go home this time?" ā
Huo Xiaolu's mouth was already full, nodded, and said vaguely: "Well, stay for about a week, and then I have to go to school to defend." ā
Huo Mu nodded, and asked again: "Do you have any plans for things after graduation, and where are you going to find a job?" ā
Before he could speak, the Yin Lord hurriedly replied, "Auntie, Xiaolu and he worked with me after graduation, and the specific matters were basically discussed." ā
"Oh? So what do you do? Huo's mother was very happy when she knew that her son's work was successful, but she was a little uneasy.
"Tour guide." The Yin Lord's expression was innocent and did not look like a fake.
Huo Mu was stunned for a moment, she obviously didn't expect this answer, but then a smile appeared on her face: "It's okay, anyway, I just graduated, I can do anything, take my time, don't worry." ā
The Yin Lord smiled and nodded in agreement, and then buried his head in eating, leaving Huo Xiaolu with a little stunned with his rice bowl.
After eating, the two of them diligently helped Huo's mother clean up the dishes and chopsticks. At this time, it was still early, and the Yin Lord beckoned Huo Xiaolu to go to his room.
Huo Xiaolu didn't know why, so he took the Yin Lord to his room. Looking at his mysterious appearance, he was a little confused: "What's the matter?" ā
The Yin Lord didn't speak, and suddenly his right hand was lightning on his chest. Huo Xiaolu was slightly taken aback, and subconsciously wanted to dodge, but his reaction was half a beat slower, and he was still slapped firmly by the Yin Lord.
"Boom!"
The palm of his hand slammed heavily against his chest, making a muffled sound. Huo Xiaolu was shocked, he was ready to vomit blood and die, but he didn't feel the expected pain.
Seeing him close his eyes and look like he was waiting to die, the Yin Lord couldn't help but feel funny: "Hey, what are you doing, you're not dead yet!" ā
Huo Xiaolu opened his eyes in some astonishment, and saw the Yin Lord's much paler face at a glance. He touched his chest in a daze, didn't find anything abnormal, and couldn't help asking, "What's going on?" ā
After a few quick gasps, the Yin Lord explained, "I sealed one-third of my mana at the location of your heart, which can help you withstand one or three attacks if you encounter mortal danger. ā
"Why one or three times." Huo Xiaolu was a little curious.
Struggling to calm his breath, the Yin Lord explained, "It depends on the strength of the opponent's attack. As long as the strength of the attack does not exceed my full strength, then I can block three times; I can barely resist twice without exceeding the strength of my dad's full blow; If you encounter some unsurpassed masters, you will be able to resist at least one deadly attack. ā
Hearing him say this, Huo Xiaolu suddenly understood how significant this layer of protection on his body was, which almost gave him an extra life. But correspondingly, he was a little reluctant in his heart: "This is a small half of your mana, you use it on me, isn't it a waste." ā
Glancing at him angrily, the Yin Lord said, "Do you think I'm willing?" Isn't that what we said we had done at the beginning? ā
"Huh?" Huo Xiaolu was a little incomprehensible.
After breathing, the qi and blood in the Yin Lord's chest finally calmed down, but the sudden feeling of weakness made him feel a little unable to stand. Holding the corner of the table quietly, he smiled and said, "You forgot? When we first met, I promised you that I would help you survive the catastrophe. ā
Huo Xiaolu choked slightly, wrinkled his nose and said, "When did it happen, do you remember?" ā
"Of course," the Yin Lord is now exhausted, and he wants to find a place to rest, "I promised to cover you at the beginning, if something happens to you, then I will lose face." ā
smiled helplessly, Huo Xiaolu didn't pretend anymore: "Okay, thank you." ā
Vigorously opened his tired eyes, the Yin Lord pursed his lips and asked, "I haven't rested well in the past few days, I'm a little sleepy, where is my room?" ā
After letting Huo Xiaolu take him to his room, the Yin Lord closed the door and went to bed. He had already consumed a lot of mental and mana in the past few days, and just now he did not hesitate to wear and tear to make a heavy protection for Huo Xiaolu, and his body was really a little unbearable.
He didn't know how long he had been asleep. When he entered the house, he told Huo Xiaolu that he didn't need to ask him to eat, until he woke up, but he didn't expect to sleep for so long. When he opened his eyes in a daze, the morning sun had just risen outside.
It seems that he has slept for more than ten hours. He sat up, feeling a little sore all over his body, and couldn't help but yawn and stretch his body, hearing the joints of his body crackle.
Forcing himself to get up from the bed, the Yin Lord rubbed his sleepy eyes and walked out of the room, and as soon as he went out, he saw that the Yin Lord was helping his mother prepare breakfast.
"Auntie, morning." The Yin Lord felt a little embarrassed, he had slept for so long when he first came, and he was slightly embarrassed.
Huo Mu smiled and asked, "Finally willing to give up?" Hungry, aren't you? Breakfast was good right away. ā
The Yin Lord hurriedly waved his hand: "Don't be in a hurry, I ate a lot yesterday, and I'm not very hungry now." In fact, he was so hungry that his chest was pressed against his back.
Huo Xiaolu looked at him with wide eyes: "Yesterday? What are you kidding, you won't wake up yet, will you? ā
"Huh? What do you mean? "The Yin Lord doesn't understand.
While stirring the porridge boiling in the pot, Huo Xiaolu said without raising his head: "Look at the date of your mobile phone." ā
The Yin Lord felt bad in his heart, and hurriedly took out his mobile phone with three percent of the battery left: Children's Day.
Silently recalled, his eyes couldn't help but open round: "This...... I can't sleep for two days and three nights, right? ā
"Bingo! That's right, but unfortunately there is no reward. Huo Xiaolu continued to boil his porridge intently.
Huo Mu asked him with concern: "I heard Xiaolu say that you are recovering from a serious illness, your body is weak, and you need to rest more, so we didn't call you." How's it going, are you feeling better? ā
hurriedly said a few perfunctory words in a daze, and the Yin Lord was now in turmoil. According to his teachings, even in deep sleep, it is impossible for this state of complete "coma" not to distinguish the sun and the moon, unless it is a serious injury. So, it's a bit strange right now.
Subconsciously touched his chest, he couldn't help but tremble in his heart: It can't be that something is wrong, right? (To be continued.) )
