Chapter 68: Late Night (47)
"You said you came back to me after twenty years?"
Xue Qing shrank in a small cave, most of his body was immersed in the cold water, but he hugged the child in his arms tightly, for fear that the water flowing in along the cave mouth would touch his body. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
"To be precise, you came to our time."
Although the boy was still young, he had a very cruel look: "But it doesn't matter, in this place, whoever comes from is the same. ”
He said casually, his eyes fell on a small mirror in Xue Qing's hand, and he grabbed a strand of Xue Qing's soft black hair, swinging around his fingertips~ fiddling.
A mirror is a small mirror that can be seen everywhere and is carried by women. The round metal case is pasted with pale green reliefs.
There should be two round glasses in a normal mirror, but this one in Xue Qing's hand is only inlaid with a round glass. On the other side is the yellow glue marks left by the glass falling off.
The glass reflected Xia Yi's figure wrapped in flames.
"I didn't burn him."
The boy snorted coldly, frowned, and reached out to tap on the mirror.
The fire burning in the mirror suddenly expanded a few points.
Xia Yi raised his head and opened his mouth towards the sky.
A wolf howl mixed with pain came from the mirror, sounding extremely painful. The loud sound shook the cave around them violently.
Another small stone fell from above and smashed on the top of Xue Qing's head, and she exclaimed in pain.
"Don't make a sound, they'll find out."
The boy turned his head, rolled his eyes, and said in a very impatient tone: "Didn't I tell you?" ”
"But ......"
Xue Qing opened her mouth, as if she wanted to defend something, but after seeing the boy's displeased expression, she gave up arguing and asked a question that she thought was "very important": "Can the stone touch me?" Why? ”
"Because this is no longer the world of the living."
The boy rolled his eyes again, his tone became more and more unkind, and his round~ rolling little hands clenched into fists: "Don't you know about this matter for so long?" It's so stupid that I can't help it! ”
Xue Qing pursed her lips and looked at the stones that fell to the ground with resentment.
"Move the mirror up and see where those two have gone."
Again, the boy spoke angrily.
Xue Qing had no choice but to raise her hand and let the scene reflected in the mirror rise towards the sky little by little.
Dotted blue fireworks appeared on the mirror, but Xia Beifeng and Feiyan were never seen.
"Don't raise your hands so high, it's easy for them to spot."
Xue Qing: "......"
She glared at the back of the boy's head and withdrew her arm to retract the mirror. Lifting up again, he carefully adjusted the angle to find the black dragon that should fly in the sky.
"Don't scold me in your heart, I can hear it."
The boy pushed her arm upwards, so that the mirror was covered with blue flames as dense as raindrops: "How can you find them if you put it so low, have you seen whose dragon flies so low!" ”
"I've never seen a dragon again."
Xue Qing's arm held the mirror at an extremely awkward angle, and she complained quietly, but in exchange for a glare from the boy, she was suddenly too frightened to speak.
I don't know which action provoked him, the boy's tone became more and more irritable, and the pushing and shoving action on his hand was also very rough~ Lu: "Did you cut your wrists and even cut your brain together, how can you be stupid like this!" ”
Under his scolding and urging, Xue Qing moved the mirror and searched almost the entire sky, never seeing the figure of the black dragon who fled in embarrassment as he imagined was smashed by the dense flames.
The boy clenched his fists and slammed them into the hard stone beside him.
Xue Qing looked at his young body and secretly gritted his teeth.
She has always had very mixed feelings about this man.
Strictly speaking, her death was induced by this person, and the relationship between them should be that of enemies. But he also accompanied her in the saddest days, and even avenged her after her death.
Of course, she later learned that everything this person did was to elicit the Taoist priest surnamed Ye.
She has been taken by him for many years, doing many things for him that he couldn't think of when he was alive, and gradually adapting to her identity as an undead, and even getting some powers that ordinary undead can't have.
These are all things that this man who seems to never grow up has given her, and he is naturally entitled to take it back at any time.
She was very uneasy about what she understood from the beginning.
The uncertain future, the meaningless past, so that she can only keep approaching this dangerous man, firmly grasp ~ this only support, no matter what kind of violence she encounters, she is reluctant to let go.
This man has a short temper, and he always beats and scolds his followers, and rarely has a calm moment. The plan in his heart is never explained, but he blindly instructs them to run around and do some dangerous acts of unknown meaning for him.
He seems to want revenge, but the object of revenge is not the Taoist priest surnamed Ye that he has been targeting.
Although every time he mentioned this Taoist priest, he always had an expression of wanting to swallow that person alive. But ten years have passed, and the Taoist priest is still alive and well, but a group of demons and monsters gathered around him for revenge come and go like flowing water.
Familiar faces are becoming scarcer, and fresh faces are becoming more familiar, and then disappearing one by one.
Only he remained by his side, watching him busy for a purpose that no one knew about.
Until today...... She still didn't know who they had come to get revenge on.
"...... Where did you go? ”
The boy angrily snatched the mirror off and threw it into the water.
A small mirror lies horizontally underwater, and the mirror still reflects the flames of falling words from the sky. The roar of the beast kept coming out of the mirror, and through a shallow layer of water, it sounded very strange.
"How did I raise a bunch of waste like you, it's useless at a critical moment!"
He angrily pushed Xue Qing's hand away, jumped out of her arms, and jumped into the water: "Snake King, there is still no news at all. ”
Xue Qing shook her head, carefully fished out the mirror from the water, and wiped the water droplets hanging on the mirror in distress.
"Hmph, I think he's addicted to being a brute, and he's becoming more and more like a brute these days."
A faint green shadow flashed through the mirror, hidden in a dense stream of fire, extremely unrecognizable.
Xue Qing stared at the rapidly changing scene on the mirror suspiciously, trying to find the green shadow she had just accidentally seen.
But the thing seemed to evaporate, and only appeared briefly for a moment, and never appeared in the mirror again.
I guess I'm dazzled.
Xue Qing comforted herself, but she was still uneasy in her heart.
The boy muttered and cursed, and suddenly felt that it was too cold in the water, and reached out to her to pick him up.
"You said you're back here after twenty years......"
Xue Qing carefully observed his face and whispered, "That means that we failed that time?" ”
"Hmm...... Let the surname Ye mix. ”
The boy replied angrily, but did not curse.
Xue Qing secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and couldn't help but continue to ask, "Then, is that woman dead?" ”
It seems that he is in a good mood.
This man's moody personality has made her suffer a lot. often beats and scolds his subordinates because of some trivial things. But sometimes, when normal people are angry, he is in a happy mood, and can even show a rare smile.
Over time, she also figured out a little pattern.
For example, in the current situation, after he is angry, he is often in a good mood. At this time, if you ask him any questions, he will generally not be scolded, but can get a serious answer.
"Dead dead...... Of course it's dead. ”
Although the boy's tone was cold, he still patiently answered her question: "It's your hand, but it's a pity that the little cub is not dead, otherwise I can save some trouble......
When he said this, he actually reached out and patted her on the shoulder for the first time: "Don't feel too guilty, it's not up to you to decide whether the little cub dies, I'll forgive you for once." ”
Then I really thank you.
Xue Qing turned her head, rolled her eyes at the shadows, and was silent for a moment before asking, "What ......about it?" He...... Still alive? ”
"Who?"
The boy asked suspiciously.
"Nothing."
She quickly turned her head and handed him the mirror in her hand: "That one looks at the door and looks like it's about to die, take a look." ”
The boy didn't look at the mirror in her hand, but hugged his arms and sneered, with a sneering expression on his face: "Are you still thinking about that person?" ”
"No, I'm just asking."
She shook her head quickly, and then showed a charming smile: "I have you, what do you still think about him?" ”
"Don't worry, he's still alive."
The boy clenched his fists as he spoke, and smiled grimly, a mouthful of snow-white teeth reflecting a strange light, making him look like a beast preparing for a delicious meal: "After all, it is the man who dumped you, and I am ready to save him for the last and enjoy it slowly." ”
"That kind of man, why bother so much."
Xue Qing whispered, with a strong hand in his hand, pinching the metal shell of the mirror and clicking: "Give him a knife directly, throw it in the mountains and let the wild wolf share it." ”
"Oh?"
The boy raised his eyebrows and smiled meaningfully: "Distressed? ”
"Don't talk nonsense, I only feel sorry for myself now."
She retorted quickly, looking down and sneaking a glance at the boy in her arms.
Who knew that the child also happened to look up at her, his eyes were full of confidence and a little sarcasm.
When the two eyes met, Xue Qing immediately turned his head and said to himself, "Where do you say that dragon can take him away?" ”
"Who knows which rat hole to hide in, it will come out sooner or later anyway."
As he spoke, he stretched out his hand and knocked on the mirror, and his uncontrollable smile was a little cruel, but more of a revenge-like pleasure: "When this watchdog burns to death, they will always come out." ”
I'm afraid you won't be able to wait for that time.
Xue Qing looked at Xia Yi, who was shrunk in the mirror, and sighed secretly.
The pure white beast had completely burned into a ball of fire, and the fire on its body kept jumping, reflecting a bright light on the surface of the water.
The flame-wrapped animal looked dying, unable to even make a roaring sound, only snorting with its tail between its legs.
But is that really the case? Why is he obviously surrounded by layers of flames, but there are no scars on his body?
She wasn't sure.
The boy in his arms was very sure about the fact that "Xia Yi is already going to die", and even began to think about how to make that soft and wide fur into a blanket and hang it on the wall **** to admire.
************************************
The rapidly rotating wind surrounded the black dragon, making it impossible for the flames outside to approach, but it also blew Xia Beifeng to the point that he couldn't open his eyes at all.
Unstoppable tears welled up from his eyes~ and flowed down the side of his face.
The vision in front of me was blurry. In addition to the tears that disturbed the vision, there were also dotted flames that were swept up by the swirling wind, and because the speed of the flutter was too fast, it turned into a large ~ afterimage.
But he has to look for someone who doesn't know what he looks like in such an environment...... No, it's hard to say if it's personal.
Xia Beifeng grabbed the dragon horn hard, for fear that Fei Yan would accidentally throw him into the wind and teach him to be minced meat.
After the experience of falling into the water a few times before, he already had a clear understanding of the dragon's temper that was about to pit people as soon as it turned over, and he was even more worried about his fate because of it.
In such a high place, no matter how you think about it, it's a death, so it's better to find something to hold in advance to be safe.
Below, there was a rippling water, black and boundless. If it weren't for the flames everywhere now, and Xia Yi, who was burning more and more like torches on the water, he was afraid that he wouldn't even be able to see what was underneath.
But with the light, he hated the unstable light, so that he could not see the situation below at all.
Why don't you just stop looking, you don't even know what you're looking for, you can't even think about it......
It was at this time that the little green butterfly burst into his sight and attracted his full attention at once.
However, it is not what they are looking for.
The butterfly fluttered in mid-air, carefully dodging the flames falling from the sky, hovering around Xia Yi for a while, and suddenly fluttered its wings and flew upward.
Xia Beifeng watched the butterfly rise with sympathy, reached out and knocked on the back of Fei Yan's head, and whispered to it, "How can there be butterflies here." ”
"I don't know, someone else brought it."
After Fei Yan casually said a perfunctory sentence, he suddenly reacted and exclaimed: "What did you say, butterfly?" ”
"Well, butterflies."
Xia Beifeng pointed to the shadow of a butterfly the size of a grain of rice below, and nodded firmly.
"How can there be butterflies?"
Fei Yan grumbled, bowing his head and running down.
The whirlwind was still around him, blowing away the fire that had come by. From a distance, he looks like a pop with a long tail. (To be continued.) )
