Chapter 8: A Long Conversation Through the Night
It turned out that Jiang Li was indeed swallowed by the giant beast at the beginning, and it was her sister who pulled her back from the line of life and death.
Jiang Li's younger sister is the descendant of the spell, but because she is the smaller of the twins, some of the ancestral knowledge and the ability of the beast are only passed on to Jiang Li. Jiang Li's younger sister, Jiang Rou, as her sister's guardian, is still in the zĂ i, so she learned the art of spells that are better than force.
Jiang Li thinks that Jiang Rou is smarter than her, and her execution and hard-working skills are also better. But the different identities of the eldest and younger forced Jiang Rou to obey her sister since she was a child, which is also a feudal rule inherited by the family. is similar to the old days, when a daughter was elected as the imperial concubine, the parents had to bow down, a reason.
Jiang Rou, who grew up slowly, has the ability to think independently, she is not satisfied with herself who is obviously stronger than her sister, but she will always be under the command of her sister, and her rebellious psychology gradually accumulates.
Jiang Li has actually been taking good care of her sister, she is kind by nature, and she doesn't want to see twin sisters and be divided into grades, but in front of the elders, she has to be very cold. Behind his back, Jiang Li taught his knowledge to Jiang Rou, but Jiang Li, who had been instilled with a lot of content since he was a child, would not be able to pass it all on to Jiang Rou for a while.
One day Jiang Rou finally broke out, she was dissatisfied with the arrangement of her elders for her, and she was even more unwilling to submit to her sister in front of others, so she took her superb spells and some family missions learned from her sister, and embarked on the road of breaking through the world alone.
Jiang Li then left her hometown, and her responsibility was not only to find the turbidity and seal the ghost eye, but also to find her dearest sister.
Jiang Rou, who knew little about knowledge and history, only relied on her flexible thinking and ability to do things, she found the crater, and arrived there before Jiang Li. When we went, Jiang Rou hid in the shadows, and for a moment she became murderous, prompting her to release the demon army, wanting to eliminate the three of us, including her own sister.
After all, blood is thicker than water, and she may have watched her sister die, which touched Jiang Rou's inner affection for her sister, and at the most critical moment, she used the magic trick in the spell to pull her sister back from the moment of life and death.
This magic trick is a relatively high-level mastery in spells, and Jiang Li himself can't do it, but through Jiang Li's description of spells, I probably understand that this is a very mysterious spell that can absorb the souls of all beasts, make living animals die, and adsorb the spirits on the rune paper. When needed, he can also release his spirit and use it to help him fight.
According to Jiang Li's character, she is not suitable for learning this kind of spell, she thinks that it is a kind of perverted killing, killing an originally living animal. Since she was a child, she had not allowed her sister to use this spell casually, because she had seen it with her own eyes, and when her sister was practicing, a mantra was pronounced, and the birds in the tree fell to the ground.
And Jiang Rouge is completely the opposite, she only pursues stronger, and is extremely proud of her powerful skills, and the rune paper that absorbs the bird's soul is often taken out by her to play, so that the bird's spirit flies and chirps in front of her.
I was amazed by the ability to absorb spirits and manipulate them at will. Even in mythological stories, this ability is described very rarely, and if you can see it with your own eyes, it can be regarded as a blessing for three lives.
I said to Jiang Li: "You can tell this, just like myths and stories, then isn't your sister invincible in the world?" â
Jiang Li smiled and said: "If it is about fighting, my sister's ability is indeed far beyond ordinary people, but there are people outside the people, and there are mountains outside the mountains, so I am afraid that her impulsive personality will cause a big disaster one day." All things are mutually reinforcing, and if she uses her ability to cause chaos in the world, then there will definitely be a master who will make her irreversible. That's what worries me the most. â
I asked Jiang Li again: "Then did your sister say how she found the crater?" â
Jiang Li shook his head first, and then said: "It's not difficult, we are twins, I have a magic eye, she also has a magic eye, I can see the flow of qi veins in the earth, and she can do the same, how I found it, how she found it." â
I picked up the demon blade at the head of the bed, it was still faintly glowing blue in the night, and continued to ask Jiang Li: "Then this knife, should it also be your sister's?" I see that there is also a spell engraved on this knife. â
Jiang Li said: "Our family's spells are not passed down from the Yellow Emperor period, but in the process of inheritance, through the generation of wisdom of the ancestors little by little. The original spell was far less powerful than it is now. This Demon Blade is not like my Beast Flute, it was made by an ancestor who mastered the art of spells, and it was not handed down from the time of the Yellow Emperor. According to records, the power of this demon blade is endless, it can cut the golden-winged Dapeng bird, and can hurt the river dragon at the bottom of the abyss. It's just that you have to have a strong ability to cast spells in order to use them flexibly. I don't know if my sister's ability has reached this level. â
I smiled and said, "Then just ask her, haven't you already met?" Is she here now? Or have you already returned to your hometown? â
Jiang Li shook his head and said, "She collected the fat (insect legacy) spirit at that time, and after saving me, she left, unwilling to come with me." â
My eyes lit up and I said: "Then your sister has also gained a lot, it is difficult to collect a wolf, insect, tiger and leopard now, it is very difficult to collect such a big ancient giant beast, and release it to help her fight in the future, that is amazing." â
Jiang Li sighed and said: "When she collected it at the time, it looked very difficult, if she released it again, I'm afraid her ability is not enough to control it, don't set herself on fire." After saying that, tears fell on the quilt.
I quickly changed the subject and asked Jiang Li about the big treasure she said.
Jiang Li told me that the big treasure was just a joke, it was used to tease the fat brother, in fact, she didn't know what it was, but she found that there was a huge qi vortex in the north. She kept going north, earning money as she went, staying in one place for a while, and then continuing north. It took nearly a year to slowly come to our city, and it was also because of fate that everyone got together again.
In the process of traveling north, she found that it was always far away from that position, like the horizon, and she could never reach the end, but the Qi Vortex was obviously getting closer and closer to her, it didn't look big before, but now it felt bigger and bigger.
Gradually, she realized that if she went to the center of the whirlpool, it could be immeasurably large, and that there must be a huge secret hidden there. Moreover, the flow of qi veins is not like the circulation mode in nature, where there is a balance between going out and entering, but like a big black hole, sucking all the vitality that nourishes all things, forming a vortex-like trend.
If there is a ghost eye that wants to cause trouble in the world, then this whirlpool will definitely play a role in fueling the fire, I am afraid that the radius of the center of the whirlpool is thousands of miles, and there will be no grass for a long time.
I asked her if she could determine the specific location, and she only said that she was in the north, and that she and I must help her this time, and I was afraid that it would be bad luck for her to go by herself.
I replied to Jiang Li and said: "It's no problem for me to go with you, but I'm afraid the fat brother can't, he just got married, and he is about to go out for a honeymoon with Sister Hua, it is estimated that the itinerary has been determined, and Sister Hua already has a baby in her belly, so we can't let the fat brother risk his life for our business." â
Jiang Li nodded thoughtfully and said, "I hope my sister has also discovered the strange phenomenon there, and at the critical moment, I believe she can still make the right choice." â
After that, we talked a lot, mostly some inner exchanges, including my future plans, Jiang Li's irritating family history, and speculation about the two ghost eyes. As I talked, I don't know when I fell asleep.
When I woke up again, it was already dawn, and I opened my eyes to find that Jiang Li had been sleeping in my bed last night, and my arm was around her, and her head was gently resting on my chest.
I didn't dare to move casually, for fear of waking her up from her sleep. Looking down, through the long eyelashes, you can see the moving picture in the large open collar of pajamas.
I didn't have any lust, I just sighed that this cute little girl, if she could live a carefree life like Zhou Tongtong, she should also be a pure and jade girl.
was immersed in his fantasies, when a person's voice suddenly sounded in his ears: "Wake up? â
I took a closer look and found that Yan Qiu and Lu Shan were sitting at the head of the bed, both of whom were wearing pajamas, painting each other's toenails.
My body trembled, and I hurriedly withdrew the hand holding Jiang Li, pretending that nothing had happened, and it really hadn't happened.
Yan Qiu smiled and said, "It seems that you are okay with this?" Do I have to take the pure route in the future? â
Lu Shan gave me a blank look, and then continued to apply nail polish to Yanqiu seriously.
Jiang Li also opened his eyes slightly at this time.
My brain was racing, trying to figure out how to explain the current state.
