Chapter 40, grace and righteousness

Arnold entered a cave as he spoke, and Ziyu followed suit. The cave was very spacious and the temperature was very low. Because it is underground, the cave is lit only by a few candles on the candle stand in the middle of the cave.

Through the candle flame, Zi Yu could faintly see that there was a piece of high ground about half a person high next to the candle stand, and a rectangular box was placed on it, which stood out in this empty and flat cavern.

Although there was a distance between them, Ziyu could still feel the snake venom coming from the box.

Zi Yu hesitated slightly, glanced at Arnold, who had already walked to a high place, and walked over with the raccoon dog behind him.

When I got closer to Ziyu, I realized that the rectangular one was not a box, but a coffin without a coffin lid. Inside the coffin lay a girl in a pink Luo dress, her eyes closed, her face still lifelike.

If it weren't for the blue and black on her forehead and the poisonous aura of the snake demon coming from her body, Zi Yu would have almost thought that this was just a sleeping girl.

"I absorb my soul, in fact, to save my master." Arnold stood on the other side of the coffin, bowed his head and said, "After the master dies, he has an obsession in his heart, and he will be reborn into a demon in a hundred years, and his soul will not be able to die for a long time. I heard that nourishing the soul with the soul can conjure the soul to life and death, so I wanted to try it. It's just that this plan is just about to be implemented, and you are encountered. ”

"Your master died of snake venom, didn't he?" Zi Yu looked at the woman in the coffin and said categorically, "The one that bit your master is a snake with small wings and can fly, right?" ”

Arnold was stunned: "How do you know ......?"

Ziyu's eyes narrowed slightly, and when her hand was about to reach out to the woman, she was grabbed by one of the raccoon dogs. One of the raccoon dogs changed to the previous hanger, and his eyes were even a little sharp when he looked at Ziyu: "I can do anything else by you, but you are not allowed to care about this matter." ”

"If I don't care, who else cares?" Ziyu asked rhetorically.

"Ji Liuhuo and Ling Sushuang." Tanuki grabbed Zi Yu's arm tightly, and his voice gradually became cold, "This matter is related to the beetle snake demon, it was originally their business, and it has nothing to do with you." ”

"Their business is my business, and since it is my business, I have to take care of it." Zi Yu was unreasonable, struggling to break free from the shackles of the raccoon.

It's just that the more Ziyu shakes it, the tighter the raccoon's hand grabs. Zi Yu felt as if her bones were about to be crushed by the raccoon, but she endured the pain and refused to retreat: "I have made up my mind, you can't change it." ”

"What if I have to change?"

Zi Yu closed her eyes and took a deep breath, and only after relieving herself did she open her eyes and stared at Tanuki, her face full of puzzlement: "Tanuki, the snake demon is not just the enemy of Brother Liuhuo and Sister Sushuang, isn't it?" He disturbed the Heavenly Realm and killed the Vermilion Bird Divine Monarch, don't you hate him and don't want to kill him? ”

Zi Yu raised her head and looked at the raccoon dog with an extremely strange look, as if looking at a stranger: "Tanuki, I really can't figure it out." In order to avenge the Vermilion Bird Divine Monarch, Brother Liuhuo and Sister Su Shuang would rather abandon their identity as Divine Monarch than come down to earth, and spend all their efforts to find and kill him. But what about you, not only did you not do anything, but you also squeezed around for Brother Liuhuo, and even forbade me to help them. Tanukiyuki, why did you do this, or did you actually say that your grief for the death of the Suzaku Divine Monarch and your hatred for the void for so many years were all fake? ”

"Arnold will not hesitate to suffer the curse of God in the future to take away the soul of the man to save his master, I thought he was a loyal man like you. But now I realized that I was wrong, what a touching friendship between master and servant, you don't have any friendship with Suzaku Shenjun at all, you don't deserve to be compared to Arnold at all! ”

After Ziyu finished speaking, she closed her eyes again, as if she didn't want to see the raccoon dog again: "If you have to stop me, I will break off with you." ”

"Grace?" Tanuki's face lost its color a little bit in Zi Yu's words, and he blinked in disbelief, and it took a while to understand Zi Yu's words: "You want to break off with me?" For the sake of Ji Liuhuo and Ling Sushuang, you just want to break off with me? But Xiao Yu'er, even half of your life was given by me, how do you break off with me? ”

Zi Yu didn't even want to raise her eyelids when she heard this, and there was no trace of emotion in her voice: "It's a big deal that after I help them kill the beetle snake, I will give you back this life." ”

Tanuki's eyes were slightly red, and his face was pretending to be calm: "Xiao Yu'er, you deliberately said these things that made me uncomfortable, just so that I wouldn't stop you from helping the two of them, right?" ”

"If that's the case, then Xiao Yu'er, you got your wish." After saying that, Tanuki let go of Ziyu's hand and turned around without hesitation.

Behind him, Zi Yu finally opened her eyes, didn't look at the raccoon dog, rubbed the string of red marks that were pinched out of her hand, and said to Arnold: "I'll take a look at her situation first, and I'll wait until I go out to find Brother Liuhuo and Sister Sushuang." ”

After Ziyu saw the situation of the woman in front of her, her expression became more solemn, she turned around and walked down from the high ground, ignoring the raccoon dog that had fallen at the door and walked straight towards the exit.

Arnold followed behind Ziyu in fear, for fear of accidentally angering the two again.

Tanuki Zhi looked at Ziyu and walked in front of him without saying a word, pursed his lips and didn't say anything, but just stopped Arnold, who was following Ziyu, and took out two small porcelain bottles from his sleeves, but sent a secret message to Arnold: "This is the ointment I got recently, you transfer it to Xiao Yu'er for me, don't let her know that I gave this ointment." ”

Arnold cautiously took the porcelain vase, and only resigned to the promise, seeing that Tanuki seemed to have nothing to say, he hurried to catch up with Ziyu.

After Arnold also left, Tanuki relaxed and slipped a little to the ground.

At this time, although the entrance to the stone cave had been closed, there was still an extremely cold breath coming out of the cracks in the ground, and only a few faint candles in the distance came from the narrow secret passage. Tanuki unloaded his spiritual power, and sat on the ground only to feel extremely cold, and his brain became more and more sober.

He couldn't understand why, Ziyu would be so angry because he blocked it. He hated the Void Extremely, because the Vermilion Bird Divine Monarch died because of the Void; But his hatred for the void is not so pure, because Ziyu is born from the void.

He really didn't care about how Ji Liuhuo and Ling Sushuang dealt with the void, but when it came to the critical moment, he would definitely help. After all, it was Suzaku Shenjun's last wish to remove the void, and it didn't matter if he had to pay for his life in order to fulfill this last wish.

But Ziyu can't. Ziyu was raised by him personally, he only wanted Zi Yue to be happy and happy, not to be burdened by those hatreds, and he didn't want Ziyu to pay with his life for past grievances.

But he also knows Ziyu's temper and decides one thing, and no one can change it. It's just that if you continue to let Ziyu take care of this matter, you may end up using up a petal again. She only has four petals in total, and if she uses one more, she will lose half her life.

But if Ziyu is not allowed to take care of this matter, it is probably impossible.

Tanuki rubbed his temples wearily and sighed against the wall, only to feel his head getting heavier.

On the other side, after Zi Yu came out of the dark passage, she strode directly towards the outside of the house.

Arnold followed closely behind, and walked out of the room with Ziyu, seeing that Ziyu suddenly stopped, hesitated for a while, and finally took out the porcelain bottle, stepped forward and said, "Princess, this ointment is entrusted to you by the king." ”

"Phew, who wants that stinky fox thing! You are not allowed to call me princess anymore, this princess who loves to do it! Zi Yu stomped her feet, strode a few steps towards the gate of the courtyard, and suddenly turned around, and couldn't help but be a little annoyed when she saw Arnold not following: "You bring me the medicine." ”

Hearing this, Arnold hurriedly walked over, pulled out the cork of one of the porcelain bottles, and handed it to Ziyu. Zi Yu took the porcelain bottle, poured some out, and wiped it off the red mark on his hand, wiping it in his mouth while chanting: "Stinky fox!" ”

The effect of the ointment was excellent, and when it was rubbed on the wound, a coolness suddenly came, covering the original hot feeling. Arnold saw that after Ziyu finished painting, he pulled out the cork of another porcelain bottle: "The king said that if you rub this again, you can reduce the swelling faster and will not leave a mark." ”

Zi Yu's face improved slightly, and she glanced behind Arnold with the ointment, and when she saw that the raccoon dog was not there, she couldn't help asking, "What about the stinky fox man?" ”

Arnold replied, "The king has not yet come out of the secret passage. ”

Arnold closed the corks of the two porcelain vases as he spoke, and handed them to Ziyu together: "The princess is not really angry with the king, why did she say those words to hurt the king's heart before?" "I thought you two were really at odds, and you almost scared half your life.

"Who said I wasn't mad at him." Zi Yu put away the medicine bottle, sighed and didn't continue to stiffen her mouth, "If I don't do this, how can he let go and let me continue to take care of this matter." ”

Zi Yu said as he walked towards the loquat tree in the courtyard, seemingly careless, but Arnold still saw that Zi Yu's steps were a little heavy: "Brother Liuhuo and Sister Su Shuang are planning to kill the void, although the raccoon looks indifferent, he must be extremely concerned in his heart." He didn't want me to take care of it, but he just didn't want me to get hurt. But if I don't know about it, forget it, and since I know, I can't sit idly by. ”

Zi Yu raised her head and squinted her eyes, raised her hand to test her spiritual power, and when she was sure that she had recovered for two minutes, she breathed a sigh of relief, and turned her head and instructed Arnold: "You wait here, if the raccoon dog has not come out after half an hour, you can go in and take a look at the situation." I'll go to Brother Liuhuo and Sister Sushuang first to discuss this matter. ”

After explaining Arnold, Ziyu summoned Yun, and his hands touched the white tiger jade pendant between his necks and began to contact Ling Sushuang.
