Chapter 20, leaving the song soul
The forest was cold and dark, and the closer you got, the more you could feel the chill, and by the time Ziyu, Ji Liuhuo, and Hui Xun walked in front of the woods, the chill had turned into a biting cold.
Fortunately, because of Ji Liuhuo's cultivation, and because he had previously spent more than 20 years in the Spirit Seeking Sect on the top of Kunlun, which was known as the "coldest place in the world", he naturally would not be afraid of this cold; And Hui Xun is a snake clan, and he is naturally afraid of shade and coolness.
However, Ziyu is different, her body is a flower, and she can't stand the cold, plus now she has no cultivation as a protective body and consumes a lot of her soul power before, so she feels extremely cold since she approached the woods.
At first, she was able to grit her teeth and hold on, but now that she was in front of the woods, Ziyu couldn't hold it anymore, and she was shivering with cold in Ji Liuhuo's arms, and her teeth chattered.
Seeing this, Ji Liuhuo silently began to cross the method into Ziyu's body again. As a cyan warm current slowly entered Zi Yu's body, slowly flowing through the muscles, bones and blood veins in Zi Yu's body, Zi Yu finally felt better.
Zi Yu, who had recovered a little of her spirit, began to seriously look at the trees in front of her, and carefully identified them for a long time before she found the tree that led to the main road: "Go from the tree over there, go in a straight line, and ignore whatever you see along the way." After passing through this forest, you will be able to enter the soul path of Lige. ”
Zi Yu pointed to a tree not far from them and said affirmatively, and then added: "It's not high to cultivate from Ge, and this forest won't be too difficult to walk, but you must remember to walk in a straight line, and don't give way to anything ahead, don't go astray." ”
After Ziyu finished speaking, she retracted her hand, hugged Ji Liuhuo tightly, and honestly buried her head in Ji Liuhuo's arms, her voice was slightly unnatural: "Let's go." ”
Ji Liuhuo bowed slightly, dropped the sentence "keep up" to Hui Xun, and flew away with Ziyu in his arms.
Ji Liuhuo's cultivation speed was high, and the obstacles in the woods were nothing to Ji Liuhuo, but in a quarter of an hour, he had already come out of the woods with Ziyu.
As soon as he came out of the woods, Ziyu was determined to get out of Ji Liuhuo's arms, and Ji Liuhuo saw that Ziyu's spirit seemed to have almost recovered, so he let go of Ziyu, and the two stood side by side and began to look at where they were now.
At the end of the woods there is a babbling stream, and at the other end of the stream is a grassy meadow, which used to be a hill with bushes, but because of the sun outside the woods, the temperature here is not too low.
Because Hui Xun's cultivation is not as good as Ji Liuhuo, so after Ji Liuhuo and Ziyu came out, he was still in the forest and did not come out, Ji Liuhuo and Ziyu decided to wait for Hui Xun to come out first, and then go to the other side of the creek together.
Fortunately, Hui Xun didn't let them wait too long, but they came out with a thin sweat on their faces, and they seemed to be a little tired. Ziyu thought that Hui Xun would need to take a break, but she didn't expect Hui Xun to take the lead in crossing the stream and urging, "Let's go quickly." ”
Ziyu had no choice but to hurry up after hearing this, although Ji Liuhuo was a little worried about Ziyu's body, she didn't insist on hugging her anymore, but let her go by herself.
Crossing the stream and walking along the meadow, there are hills and caves, Ziyu stood in front of those caves and paused for a moment, then found the real entrance hidden in them, and led Ji Liuhuo and Hui Xun into it together.
"If I'm not mistaken, this path should lead directly to the first soul path of the song." Zi Yu looked at the cave in the cave as she walked, and said, "The soul path of each soul is a memory, recording all the memories of that body from birth to death. Even if some memories have long been forgotten by the owner of the body, the soul path will also be recorded. ”
"Then can we see all the things that happened in Lige's life here?" Hui Xun asked.
"No, you can't. There is only one main path of each soul path, and at the same time, the soul path will also have derivative forks, which are used to record those unimportant memories, and there will be many forks in the forks, constantly separated, and the more remote the road, the more irrelevant the memories recorded. We walk in a straight line, so we can only see the memories of the main way, which are the most important memories for the body of the song. ”
The three souls were walking in the cave, and suddenly there was a flash of white light, and the three souls immediately arrived in a wooden house.
The room was not big, the furnishings in the house were clean and simple, because no one was there and quietly, Zi Yu restored his soul to its original size, and walked around the house: "This should be the former home of Lige, maybe we can find Lige who has just broken out of the shell here." ”
Ji Liuhuo and Hui Xun didn't speak, and after each changed their soul bodies back to their original size, they also walked in the house.
It was Ziyu who first discovered the song. She first walked around the room, and when she entered the bedroom through a door, she saw a snake egg in a small basket on the bed.
"Here." Ziyu shouted, taking three steps and two steps to the bed.
At this time, Ji Liuhuo and Hui Xun had already entered the bedroom and came to the bed, and observed the egg in front of them with Ziyu.
The color of the snake eggshell on the bed was very pure emerald blue, clean without a trace of impurities. There were already several deep and shallow cracks on the eggshell at this time, and it could be seen that the little snake in the eggshell was trying to break out of the shell.
Because there was no one else in the room except the three of them, and they were in a state of soul bodies, unable to touch objects or make sounds, there was silence in the room, making the sound of eggshells breaking clearer.
Hui Xun looked at it very seriously, and he didn't even know when the owner of the house had returned, and when he reflected, he had already seen a woman in simple clothes walking up to the bed, looking at the cracked egg with a surprised face.
Hui Xun saw her reflexively take a few steps back, as if she wanted to dodge, but Zi Yu, who was sitting by the window bored, laughed out loud when she saw him like this, and then said, "Don't worry, you are in a wandering spirit state, she can't see you."
"Okay." Hui Xun responded in confusion, but he retreated and walked to Ziyu and Ji Liuhuo's side.
Ziyu and Ji Liuhuo were originally sitting by the window, looking at each other speechlessly, and at this time, Hui Xun came in and was even more silent, in the end, Zi Yu couldn't stand this weird silence first, and took the lead in finding a question and asked Hui Xun: "You said before that Lige is a scarlet spirit snake, right?"
"Hmm. I remember telling me that she was born with a snake of the color of an ominous crimson color, and that according to the rules of the clan she was to be burned at the stake. Fortunately, the tribesmen could not bear to kill her because she was an orphan, so they expelled her from the tribe and left her to fend for herself. Hui Xun said lightly, with worry in her eyes, "Actually, I don't know much about Lige's past, and she doesn't seem to remember those things very well, or maybe she just doesn't want me to know." ”
"So you asked me before if the Soul Dao could see everything in her life, was it to know what happened to her in the past?" Ziyu asked.
"Yes and not quite. I'm just a little curious about her past and want to know about that past without me. Hui Xun said, "But it's better to think about it, because if you know, you can't do anything but feel sorry for her, but it's even more uncomfortable." ”
Ziyu was silent and sighed softly. In fact, if you think about it a little, you can guess that the past of Lisong is not good.
Although the Fei Ling Snake Clan is close to humans, it has always been gentle and generous, it is a group diametrically opposed to the Green Snake Clan, and it is also a group with the most unscrupulous personality similar to the Snake Clan.
It's just that the Feiling Snake Clan is no longer like the Snake Clan, but it is also a Snake Clan, and its attitude towards the heterogeneous people in the clan is naturally exactly the same, hatred, disgust, and fear.
And since birth, the whole body has been crimson, and in the Fei Ling Snake Clan, whose body is as green as jade, it is naturally a well-deserved outlier.
What's more, for the Filipe Snake Clan, crimson is the most ominous color.
Sure enough, as Ziyu expected, since Lige broke a small hole in the eggshell, the expression of the woman who was sitting next to the bed with a loving face changed.
Hui Xun, who was also watching from the side, didn't pay attention to the woman's expression, and still looked intently at the little snake that was trying to crawl out of the egg, with a scarlet body on his face, and his face was full of joy and love, which made the fear of the woman next to him even more eye-catching.
Zi Yu sighed, watching the little crimson snake crawl out of the eggshell little by little, pass through Hui Xun's hand, and slowly climb up the woman's knees, coiled into a ball and did not move.
And the fear on the woman's face disappeared little by little as she approached the song, and her face changed several times, and finally turned into crying with her hands in her hands, and her crying was suppressed and weak, which made Zi Yue worry for a while.
The woman cried for a while and then stopped crying, wiped away her tears and looked at the little snake on her lap as if she was sad and happy, and her hand hanging in the air trembled for a long time, and finally slowly fell on the little snake.
"If you leave the song, let me tell you to leave the song." The woman choked up with red eyes: "You have to be a strong child, even in the face of parting, you can sing calmly."
The woman began to shed tears again as she spoke, and even Hui Xun, who was sitting next to her and wanted to touch Lige, became sad.
Ji Liuhuo seemed to be a little unable to stand this atmosphere, and walked to Ziyu's side and asked in a low voice, "How can we get out of here, I just tried and found that I can't get out of this house."
"Wait until this memory is over. After all, we are staying in the soul path of leaving the song in the state of a wandering spirit, and we have no way to grasp our own itinerary, so we can only wait for the end of our memories to start the next part of the journey. Ziyu said, "Although I don't know when this memory will end, it seems that it will be soon." ”
As he was talking, a white light suddenly appeared in front of the three souls, and the white light became bigger and bigger, and finally enveloped the three of them.
"It's time to go down the next soul path." Ziyu explained, pulling Ji Liuhuo and Hui Xun towards the center of the white light that first appeared.
