Chapter 17: The so-called hero saves beauty
With the reflection of the moonlight and the cover of the night, Luo Shuiyi and Ji Lixuan left the palace one after the other and headed towards the legendary holy land.
"The shrine is attached to the altar and is guarded, so we can enter it by another way. It's where Qian'er fell back then. Ji Lixuan followed Luo Shuiyi's side, feeling that he was gradually getting a little tired.
Luo Shuiyi listened to his shortness of breath, slowly slowed down his pace, and nodded.
On the side of the Holy Land, a petite figure hid behind the huge pillars of the altar, listening to the voices in the altar with bated breath.
It wasn't until Liu Yinxue left with a group of elders that she quietly slipped in.
So when Luo Shuiyi and Ji Lixuan sneaked into the holy land, what they saw was a picture of a petite girl in pink being chased and intercepted by a monster with a blood-red body and covered in tentacles.
"Satsuki?" Ji Lixuan lost his voice in surprise.
"Oops!" Luo Shuiyi frowned, and threw the folding fan in his hand without thinking about it.
With a "click", the folding fan spun and flew out, shining silver in the moonlight, "whooshing" towards the monster.
Only then did Ji Lixuan find out that this folding fan was actually equipped with a mechanism. After activation, the eleven fan bones turned into cold and shining blades, and at first glance, they were artifacts that sharpened iron like clay.
At this time, the folding fan had already severed one of the tentacles of the monster clamping the girl in pink.
"Squeak!" A shrill cry rang out with a splash of blood, and the monster retracted its wounded tentacles in pain.
At the same time, Luo Shuiyi had already pounced on the pink-clothed girl, hugging her waist and dodging the monster's attack.
The girl in pink looked at the crazy monster in horror, hugged Luo Shuiyi firmly, and didn't dare to make a sound.
"Xiang Shuai be careful!" Ji Lixuan looked at the tentacles waving in the sky and shouted.
Luo Shuiyi dodged and said in a deep voice: "Don't come down!" Find a rope to pull us up! ”
When Ji Lixuan heard this, he retracted his idea of jumping down to help, pulled over the vines hanging in front of the mountain wall, twisted a few thick ones into a strand, and threw them down.
Luo Shuiyi grabbed it quickly, and left the monster's lair with the girl in pink with the help of Ji Lixuan.
Quietly leaving the holy place, they stopped.
"Xiangshuai, are you okay?" Ji Lixuan looked at Luo Shuiyi's wet sleeves and was very worried.
"Nothing." Luo Shuiyi didn't even frown, but just told him very seriously: "Don't tell that demon." ”
Ji Lixuan nodded, but saw the pink-clothed girl rescued by Luo Shuiyi pounce.
After a short period of fear, she saw the dark color on her benefactor's left hand.
"You, you, you're hurt!" She looked at Luo Shuiyi in a panic, and said with guilt on her face: "I'm sorry! I'm sorry! You're all hurt because you save me! I'm sorry! I...... I'll bandage it for you...... All right? ”
Luo Shuiyi raised her right hand, rolled up her sleeves, exposed her left arm in front of the girl in pink, and said with a smile: "It's okay, it's just a small injury, you don't have to blame yourself." ”
The girl in pink bit her lip, took out a handkerchief from her arms, gently helped Luo Shuiyi wipe off the blood that flowed out, bandaged her, and then said softly: "Thank you." ”
Ji Lixuan frowned and said, "Xiaoyue, can you explain to this king why you are here?" ”
The girl in pink stiffened, saluted Ji Lixuan, and said in a low voice, "I've seen the king." I...... I...... Just curious, I want to see ...... Gu God ......"
"Nonsense!" Ji Lixuan said sharply: "Now that you see it, are you still curious?" ”
The girl in pink shook her head again and again, but tears fell out of her beautiful eyes one by one, she looked at Ji Lixuan and choked up and said, "Wang, are those girls who have been selected ...... ...... by that monster Eaten? ”
Ji Lixuan was silent for a while, then nodded.
The girl in pink staggered back a few steps and fell to the ground, she looked at Ji Lixuan angrily and said, "You are the king of Southern Xinjiang!" How can it be ...... How can it be ......"
Ji Lixuan said in a deep voice: "The right to sacrifice in southern Xinjiang lies in your Liu family!" ”
The girl in pink was stunned, hugged herself sadly, and muttered, "How come? How can my sister and daddy be so heartbroken? Why? Why...... That's human life......"
Ji Lixuan said: "That's why this king wants to abolish the sacrifice, but your Liu family tree has deep roots, and this king can't do it yet......"
"I'll help you!" The girl in pink raised her head and said firmly, her innocent eyes full of anger.
Ji Lixuan was very surprised, he looked at the girl, and said uncertainly, "You want to help me?" ”
The girl in pink stood up, nodded firmly, and said, "No matter who they are, they have no right to play with other people's lives, even if they are my relatives, I can't tolerate them being so careless about human life!" ”
Luo Shuiyi looked at the girl in front of her with a strong aura from top to bottom with appreciation, and praised: "Well said! Brother Ji, since there are such strong and resolute sonorous roses in southern Xinjiang, are you still worried that you can't abolish the sacrificial system? ”
The girl looked at Luo Shuiyi, her life-saving benefactor was dressed in red, clear as jade, and the breath that flowed out of her body was so leisurely and complacent, with a gentle and confident smile on his lips, as if no matter when and where, what kind of danger and tribulation he encountered, he would face it so indifferently, still with clear eyebrows and a smile at the corners of his lips.
At this moment, she knew, she had fallen.
A big smile was revealed, and the girl's crisp voice sounded: "My name is Liu Ruyue." Benefactor, can you tell me your name? ”
Luo Shuiyi chuckled: "Chu Liuxiang." ”
Then she looked at Ji Lixuan and said, "We should go back, I'm afraid that demon will die if it's too late." ”
Ji Lixuan nodded and said to Liu Ruyue: "Xiaoyue, it's late, you should go back, otherwise your sister will be suspicious." Remember, don't talk about today's events, and if I need your help, I'll look for you. ”
Liu Ruyue nodded.
Ji Lixuan left with Luo Shuiyi satisfied.
Liu Ruyue looked at the fading red and asked loudly, "Brother Chu, will I see you again?" ”
There was no response, and she lowered her head in some frustration, and soon raised her head again, looked in the direction they were leaving, and clenched her fists.
Yes! She'll definitely see him again!
Even if Luo Shuiyi tried everything to cover it up, how could Hua Lingyu be so easy to deceive? As soon as Luo Shuiyi approached him, he keenly smelled the unusual aura on her.
Blood, fat, and an inexplicable gloomy aura.
Luo Shuiyi cautiously looked at Hua Lingyu's dark face, rubbed the corners of her clothes and didn't dare to say anything.
Hua Lingyu sighed, pulled her over, gently medicated her, and then finally opened her mouth and said, "Say, what's the matter!" ”
Luo Shuiyi whispered to him about it.
After listening, Hua Lingyu frowned, looked at Luo Shuiyi and said in a deep voice: "From now on, you are only responsible for logistics!" ”
Luo Shuiyi raised his head to refute, but after seeing the undeniable firmness in those phoenix eyes, he had to shut up stupidly.
Seeing this, Shen Tianqing reminded on the side: "This, Yu'er, your Gu poison hasn't been solved yet." ”
Hua Lingyu paused, and after being silent for a while, she said, "I'll talk about it when the matter is over." ”
"I disagree!" Luo Shuiyi said categorically. yes, how did you forget about it? The demonic poison is the purpose of their trip.
Hua Lingyu still had a calm face, and said hardly: "This time, you have to listen to me!" ”
Luo Shuiyi looked at him like this, and knew that he couldn't change his mind no matter what, so he had to say quietly: "You are willing not to see me for so long?" ”
Hua Lingyu sighed: "I am even more reluctant for you to take risks again. ”
Luo Shuiyi also sighed: "Okay." Then I'll go and study explosives with Susu. ”
Hua Lingyu thought for a while and continued to object: "No! ”
The explosives were too dangerous, and he still remembered how badly she was injured when she blew up the alchemy furnace when she was refining the medicine a few years ago. So he must not let the tragedy happen again.
Hua Lingyu's concerns are not unreasonable. But Luo Shuiyi was furious, she slapped the table and shouted: "This doesn't work, that doesn't work!" Hua Lingyu, what do you want me to do! ”
Seeing this, Hua Lingyu hurriedly stood up, and noticed that she was slapping the table with her right hand. Stretched out his hand and pulled his beauty into his arms and said, "Beauty, I'm just worried about you." ”
Luo Shuiyi pushed him away, pinched his waist and raised his eyebrows: "Either I team up with Ji Lixuan to bring down the Liu family, or I team up with Su Su to make explosives." Choose one of the two! ”
Hua Lingyu frowned, a little anger flashed in her long and narrow phoenix eyes, a little helpless, looking at the beauty in front of her who was glaring at her without giving in, and finally she could only sigh, defeated, and compromised: "Be careful when making explosives." ”
"Wow! I knew that you loved me the most! Luo Shuiyi excitedly threw herself into Hua Lingyu's arms, rubbing happily, obviously possessed by the stars and the moon.
Hua Lingyu hugged her helplessly, and wanted to prevent her from hurting her freshly bandaged left arm, and her lips outlined a happy arc.
