Chapter 397: Mentoring the Green Soil
As the car accelerates, everything seems to be constantly going backwards. Pedestrians, trees, barriers, and buildings on both sides that seem to have been built by alien visitors and soar straight into the clouds are shrouded in the gray tones brought about by the theory that it is not cloudy and hazy, making Xia and Autumn feel only a sense of oppression. She leaned against the window, slowly closed her eyes, and woke up from sleep along the way.
"Hey, it's here."
Someone gently shook her shoulders, she thought it would be Ouyang Xiaoleng, but when she opened her eyes, it was Mo Han who she saw. She couldn't help but smile, who could it be but him? She had been away from Yongchuan for several years, and she had left that place after the end of the war.
The war led to the defeat of both them and Qingyun's side, and after she returned to the human world, the maze connecting the demon world to the human world was completely destroyed, and she was greatly stimulated physically and mentally in frustration, and barely finished high school. But her time seemed to stand still forever at the age of sixteen, and all the joys, colors, and memories of her life had been sealed in that year, and this feeling was always with her, especially now.
Mo Han unbuckled her seatbelt for her, ran down and went around to her, opened the car door, and helped her out of the car.
"Thank you!" She shook slightly as her feet hit the ground, and she couldn't help but take a few deep breaths, but the air she inhaled in her lungs made her even more uncomfortable, and the air here still made her unable to adapt no matter how long it took.
"I'll send you up?" Mo Han locked the car and was about to continue to help her walk into the community.
"No need, I'm better, just go back by myself! You'd better go back to the office, there's still a lot of work for you to handle, right? Xia Qiu barely bothered to say that she didn't want to owe Mo Han more favors, and since she entered the company, this man has taken special care of her.
"Hmm...... All right! Mo Han said helplessly, "Then you can send me a message when you get home!" ”
Xia Qiu watched his car drive out of his sight, and then walked into the community in a trance. At this time, there are not many people in the community, only a few elderly people and children gather to play in an open space with simple facilities, which is facing the flower bed.
She slowly walked in the direction of the flower bed and sat down, looking at the carefree children playing, feeling a little better just now. Min Entong and Dong Muya have been looking for a way to reconnect the demon world and the human world, and have promised her that they will notify her as soon as there is progress. But she was disappointed again and again, and the hope of being able to return to that place again was very slim, and the possibility of reuniting with Ouyang Xiaoleng seemed to be completely cut off.
Now she will only go back to Yongchuan during the holidays, and sit by the Silver Moon Lake for a day. Occasionally, she hallucinated, and in the middle of the building that had the path to Ouyang's ancient mansion, the passage that didn't exist reappeared, but when she moved forward, there were only cold walls.
Everyone was persuading her to look forward, even Dong Muya, who was waiting for Ouyang Hongye like her, said the same thing to her. In her opinion, she was different, she was still young, and she should not give up all her chances in the hope of an unpredictable outcome. But she can't get rid of the constraints of her heart, she can still summon the plum blade, which is a proof to her, as long as the blood alliance between her and Ouyang Xiaoleng is still there, then she will definitely be able to meet.
A child's ball slipped out of her hand and rolled in her direction, she lowered her head to pick it up, smiled at the child and said, "Here!" ”
The boy smiled and shook his head at her, and the rest of the courtyard stopped what they had just done, and instead turned their eyes to her, all with smiles on their faces, as if to tell her that the peace and peace they now enjoyed were inseparable from the bloody battles she and her companions had fought so hard together.
"Are you going to give it to me?" She asked the child.
The child nodded as he walked up to her, and the moment his little hand touched the ball, it formed a small black hole in her hand, which looked very familiar, and she was dragged into the memory.
"Yellow Springs Country...... Black Hole ......" she muttered to herself, then struggled to call out a name, "Hyacinth!" ”
A blue butterfly flew out of the black hole between her hands, and as it flapped its wings, golden powder fell, and the powder shimmered in front of her eyes, emitting a dazzling light that made her blink.
The scenery around her suddenly changed, she returned to the black hole where she flew with Hyacinth and the Guardian Warrior, the physical discomfort just now had disappeared, and now the whole person seemed to have been unloaded from a heavy load, so relaxed, so free.
She could finally return to him, though she didn't know if the future she had strayed into was a reality, or if it was just a reflection of her subconscious fear, but now she just wanted to seize the opportunity in front of her.
The gold dust dropped from the blue butterfly's wings had turned into dazzling rays of light, and she followed the guidance of those rays to fly, and finally found the main body of the light source, and the staircase-like green city was right in front of them.
"I saw it, and the green soil is there!" She shouted to Hyacinth, knowing in her heart that it was her inseparable thoughts and emotions for Ouyang Xiaoleng that brought her back.
Hyacinth nodded and signaled to the Guardian warriors behind him to follow closer.
They finally broke through the shackles of the black hole together and landed towards the square in front of the front of the Qingyang Chengwang Palace, where many Demon Spirit Clan warriors had already gathered, and Ouyang Xiaoleng and the others had also arrived.
The father and son of Heyin and Hingye gathered all the male demon spirit clans in the square and waited for the review of the demon king fox Ouyang Xiaoleng. The able-bodied ones will be incorporated into the elite troops from the royal city, while the old and weak, along with women and children, will be tasked with managing the secret passages and traps built in the lower city.
Although the men of the Demon Spirit Clan in the city are all old, everyone hopes that they can be selected into the army and do their part to defend the green soil and the demon world, and no one wants to be screened out.
But many of them had to rely on crutches to barely stand, and the old wounds they had suffered in the war when they were young were found again in old age.
Harmony comforted a few of his fellow clansmen who had just been screened out as unsuitable for battle, and said, "Even if you can't fight the enemy head-on, you can still do your part in this war." ”
"It's just that we are too old, and the injuries on my body are still the ......same as those I suffered more than two hundred years ago when I was in the army of the first Demon King Fox Li," the old man of the Demon Spirit Clan on crutches became moist in his eyes.
"This time, the secret passage and trap are very important, because Qingyun has an elusive demon soldier called the Empty Water Demon, they can freely transfer space by relying on liquid, and the secret passage and trap are a good way to deal with them!" The chorus continued to persuade him.
The old man nodded, and left with the other old men of the Demon Spirit Clan.
Just as the screening was about to end, a black cloud suddenly appeared in the sky, and the black cloud came strangely, and at a glance it was clear that it was not an ordinary dark cloud. Their first reaction was that it might be a sign of their arrival, so they all made preparations for battle.
"I didn't expect the enemy to come so quickly!" Ouyang Hongye said to Mochizuki beside him.
"Wait! Look! Ling Yu found that a glimmer of light gradually revealed in the black clouds, and the vague human form that accompanied the light seemed to him to be Xia Qiu.
"It's summer and autumn! And also...... Hyacinth! Qianqi then shouted.
Ouyang Xiaoleng's entire attention was focused on that light, he had been worried about whether Xia Qiu would be able to return from the Yellow Spring Country smoothly, but he would never have imagined that she would return to him in such a way.
Like him, Xia Qiu couldn't explain why she appeared in the sky above the green soil, and she couldn't even believe that what she saw in front of her was real and alive, an illusion created by a black hole.
She remembered that the Yellow Springs Realm was completely cut off from the outside world, and time stood still there, so even if it felt like she had been there for a while, in fact, when she left, she would find that time had not moved forward. But this time it was different, through the black hole, she reunited with Ouyang Xiaoleng and others directly in Qingyang.
According to the original plan, they should not go to Qingyang until the day after she entered the Yellow Springs, even if it is the time on the road, at least two days, could it be that those black holes really have infinite possibilities as the Flame Luo Demon King said, in addition to connecting the present, they also lead to the past and the future. If so, then what is what she experienced in the black hole, and is it really something that is about to happen in the future?
In that so-called future, she had long been separated from Ouyang Xiaoleng, and because the path to the demon world and the human world had all been severely damaged, she couldn't find a way to return to him. But now she couldn't tell anyone everything she saw, especially not a word to Ouyang Xiaoleng, because she knew that this would definitely affect his mood before the war.
She landed with Hyacinth on the square in front of the Wangzi Palace on the seventh floor of Qingyang City, Ouyang Xiaoleng stretched out his hands to hug her, and his cold hands seemed extremely warm at this time. Today, he was still dressed in pure white, only the light silver armor on his upper body, and the sunlight cast a little gold in his deep gray-blue eyes, reminding her of the kaleidoscope that surrounded her in the black hole just now.
"Lord Demon King Fox, I am entrusted by the former master of the Huangquan Country, the Demon King of Yanluo, to lead two hundred soul guards to come and wait for your dispatch!" Hyacinth returned from the form of a butterfly to a human after landing on the ground, and knelt down on one knee in front of Ouyang Xiaoleng and said.
The male Demon Warriors had to disperse to both sides to make room for this huge group of Guardian Warriors. Seeing these behemoths again, Qianqi reflexively gasped, he still remembered the last time he met them in the Yellow Springs Country, and what kind of fierce battle he experienced. I didn't expect to see them again this time, but it was completely different from the last time, as soon as they landed, they lined up neatly.
"The last time we saw them, it was a lot for the three of us, and Hyacinth......" he said to Lingyu beside him, who had sacrificed himself to stop the last of the Soul Guards for them so that they could enter the Lingyun Palace.
"Wow!" Ling Yu just stared at them and sighed, "If they join, there will be nothing to fear from the Tree Demon!" ”
