Chapter 21: Like a Rebirth
The demon yuan that has been silent in Xi Xiaogray's body for a long time is like a pearl that wipes away the floating dust, faintly emitting a soft and dense light. Gradually, her fingertips, which had been numb for a long time, finally felt the coldness of the river.
"Buzz......" A transparent crystal shimmered around her, shimmering like a starry light.
Her body suddenly stopped falling, as if frozen in this moment, her butterfly-like eyelashes were trembling slightly, and the tattoo of the word "demon" on her cheek gradually disappeared......
Mu Bai and Jiang Ye struggled in the turbulent river water, diving under the water to find Xi Xiaohui's figure. They rose and fell in the raging waves, and their little bodies were blown down by countless waves.
It wasn't until they lost their last strength that they had to give up and drift to the bottom.
The shadow of death was about to come, but Mu Bai and Jiang Ye suddenly sensed that a soft and mysterious power was calling them.
They spat out the river water that had poured into their mouths and stumbled towards the shimmering glow.
When they found a familiar figure floating at the bottom of the water, they excitedly rushed forward and slapped the transparent crystal shield hard, trying to wake up Xi Xiaoshen, who had not yet opened his eyes.
But under the hazy glow, Mu Baihe watched as he was disappearing, turning into wisps of light smoke.
Just as they panicked, the ethereal smoke once again outlined a clear human figure, from the long flowing hair, to the impeccably handsome face and long figure.
Mu Bai and Jiangye looked at their bodies excitedly, feeling that the surging power in their bodies was getting stronger and stronger. They all looked at Xi Xiaoshen in the transparent crystal cover, it turned out that there was indeed a closely related bond between them.
Mu Baihe held up the crystal cover in unison, wanting to send Xi Xiaoshen ashore.
On the surface of that layer of crystal cover, layers of wave-like halos appeared, from slow to fast, from dark to bright, and the brilliant brilliance of the fire tree and silver flowers bloomed countless blazing rays, instantly shattering the layer of crystal cover.
But Xi Xiaoshen never opened her eyes, and her soft body was like a weed slowly drifting and sinking.
At this moment, a loud "humming" sound struck, and in an instant, the river swelled, forming a whirlpool of turbulent waves.
Mu Baihe became more and more chaotic in front of his eyes, dodging in vain, and he was powerless to parry. When they came back to their senses, they could no longer see Xi Xiaoshen's figure, she was like an untouchable glimmer of light, disappearing out of thin air.
"Little Ash, Little Ash, where are you......" Mu Baihe was so anxious that they couldn't find it at the bottom of the river, so they had to swim back to the shore in despair.
At this moment, a dazzling silver light crossed in front of them, and Tu Tu walked slowly and methodically in front of them.
They looked at Tu Tu in surprise and said in unison, "It's you again!"
Tu Tu's eyes were calm and waveless, and he said quietly: "Xiao Ash left the world through the Void Gate, and because of the self-protection of the demon yuan, she will not think of the pain of dying, nor will she remember you." ”
"The Void Gate, that's a spatial spell...... Did you save her?" Mu Bai and Jiang Ye were so nervous that their heartbeats almost stopped, no matter if Xi Xiaoshen could remember them or not, as long as she could survive, "Where is she now?"
Tu Tu was still expressionless: "I have a restaurant in Sanzhi, you go there and wait for her." As for what to eat, there should still be ...... Let's do it!"
"Who the hell are you?" Mu Bai was full of curiosity about Tu Tu, he looked very mysterious, but he wouldn't hurt Xi Xiaoshen, saying that he was a friend was a little angry.
Tu Tu but smiled silently, and walked away leisurely until it turned into a wisp of light smoke. Pushed the night down Mu Bai, who was deep in thought: "Let's go, it's important to find Xiao Ash." ”
Mu Bai retracted his gaze and nodded vigorously: "From now on, I will guard her openly." ”
......
The sun was scorching, and Yu Xiaogray woke up groggily.
"Ahem...... Bah......" She spit out a mouth full of yellow sand with a bitter face, she blinked her eyes, and looked up at the rough and solemn red clay archway with a shocked face, and on the bluestone plaque several feet high, there were strange seal characters floating with blue light - three no matter.
"Three, no matter where it is, how could I be here?" she scratched the back of her head and muttered to herself incredulously, "Did ......I come here by a strong wind?"
She tried to remember, but it was still in vain, only a few fragmentary memories flashed in her mind, familiar and strange. She vaguely remembered that everyone called herself "Xi Xiaoshen", and when she went deeper, she felt as if her head was about to explode. "Thinking is really a physically demanding job......," she said, looking around and feeling more and more hungry, she licked her dry lips and spat out the remaining grains of sand from her mouth, "Could it be that I was so hungry that I ate sand before...... Hey, that's ......."
Above the archway squatted two strangely shaped human owls, looking exactly the same, motionless like sculptures.
What's even more strange is that these two human owls actually have one eye open and one eye closed, and their open eyes don't blink a bit, the size of a copper bell, deep and bright. Although the eyes were a little ethereal, they seemed to be full of aggression, Xi Xiaoshen couldn't help but shudder when she looked at it, and a burst of hunger forced her steps to step towards the archway without obeying the call.
"Gatekeeper or Gatekeeper? They, should be asleep, right?" she swallowed nervously, and cautiously stepped forward, the archway surrounded by a chaotic cloud of smoke, and it was impossible to see what was inside.
Xi Xiaoshen couldn't hold back the curiosity in her heart, and reached out to touch the smoke, and at this moment, the two human owls above the archway suddenly opened their eyes and looked down at her indifferently.
With a "bang", layers of golden light flashed in their eyes, as if they had seen through her past, and then closed their eyes silently, as if allowing her to enter the three regards.
"Thank you, thank you......" Xi Xiaoshen was stared at by them until cold sweat broke out on her forehead, and then bowed to them, shrunk her head and quickened her pace through the thick smoke.
In an instant, as if she had experienced the natural changes of spring thunder, summer rain, autumn tide, winter snow, flowers blooming and everything withering, the complex scene of the white horse passing through the gap in the world appeared in front of her eyes.
Time is fleeting, and the meaning of life may exist between the day and night, but the dust is common, and you can be at ease......
Xi Xiaoshen was in a trance and had some understanding, and suddenly his feet slipped, and the whole person fell out of the fog.
Before she could gain a firm footing, she looked dumbfounded at the oncoming sturdy Pegasus, on which sat a man and a woman, and commanded with a smile: "It's here, it's here, it's flying so fast......"
Pegasus landed abruptly beside her, bending its forelimbs quite devotedly so that the guests on horseback could jump off.
The man and woman were satisfied with the two glorious silver beans that flowed around Pegasus, and gave him a thumbs up: "Next time we will come to visit you." ”
Looking at the backs of the two guests leaving, Yu Xiao Ash suddenly noticed that the female guest had a short fluffy rabbit tail behind her back, and the male guest was naturally stroking the cute little tail.
In a trance, Xi Xiaoshen only heard the Pegasus behind him say coldly: "Hehe, I'm rich, go drink......"
She turned her head and watched blankly as Pegasus transformed into a suave middle-aged uncle in an instant.
He happily picked up the silver beans, strode to the palatial restaurant at the intersection, hugged two beautiful women in tulle left and right, and drank flower wine happily.
Before Xi Xiaoshen came back to his senses, he suddenly felt a burst of laughter above his head, accompanied by a cool breeze whistling by.
She looked up and couldn't help but freeze where she was. It turned out that there was a group of little demons playing ball in the clear blue sky, and they drew a piece of ground in the sky as a court, with a protective cover on the periphery, with only a few white clouds as the ball frame, and the game was in full swing.
They are extremely fast, grabbing the ball while freely changing their forms, one moment into a beautiful boy, and the other when they appear in their original form, some are bat demons, some are flying squirrel demons......
The pedestrians on the ground seemed to be accustomed to it, and they were not surprised in the slightest, and occasionally some human children watched and shouted from below.
She looked at the passers-by at a loss, most of them were ordinary people with simple appearances, but there were also monsters with a nine-foot tiger head and oxtail, or peacocks with feathers swaying and silky eyes. I saw the monsters on the street shuttling through the crowd, they ignored each other, and they didn't fight, there was an indescribable sense of harmony!
