Chapter 8: The Soul Messenger
This chain is the one that Su Xuan gave to Liu Ruyue yesterday.
Seeing this, Su Xuan sighed. Reluctantly, he picked up the necklace and said, "Why did you come back?Shouldn't you wear it around Liu Ruyue......'s neck?"
Without thinking too much, Su Xuan walked into Liu Ruyue's room and found that the latter was sleeping quietly, and his face was much better than last night, at least with blood. And at this moment, Su Xuan heard someone knocking on the door.
"Mr. Su, I brought you breakfast. I only heard the voice of a maid outside the door. Su Xuan hurriedly went to open the door and found that the maid was carrying two breakfasts in her hands.
"There is a copy of Miss Liu's, I knocked on the door of Fengyalou for a long time and no one opened the door, I thought that Miss Liu might be here, so I took it. The maid explained.
"You young lady, very smart and well-behaved. Su Xuan took the breakfast and said, "Master Su, are you back?"
"Master, I've returned early this morning. Please Mr. Su don't worry......" The maid listened to Su Xuan praise herself, and for a while, her face was peachy, she didn't dare to raise her head, and she was extremely shy.
Is it already back?Su Xuan thought, "Well, okay then. Would you like to stay and have breakfast with you, sister?"
The maid hurriedly stepped back, and quickly refused: "I have already eaten!"
"Hmph, seeing that I'm young, you're lying to me!" Su Xuan pretended to be angry, opened the box for breakfast, took out the white rice cake, handed it to the maid, and said, "This, I don't like to eat it, give it to you!"
"I didn't lie to you, I drank a bowl of porridge and ate a steamed bun. The maid hurriedly explained.
And at this moment, a chuckle came from behind Su Xuan, "Mr. Su, you're really interested! ”
"Miss Liu, this is a bad statement. What do you mean by 'flirting'? We're just exchanging feelings. Su Xuan turned his head and saw Liu Ruyue standing by the door with interest, today she was wearing white clothes, pink lips, and tender eyes......
"The way you communicate your feelings is really special!" Liu Ruyue said playfully.
Su Xuan stuffed the rice cake in his hand to the maid and said, "Eat, it's delicious." As he spoke, he looked at Liu Ruyue again, "Why don't you have a piece of it?" This is a rare delicacy! This is a rice cake made of rice flour, if you hadn't come, I wouldn't have been able to eat it......
In the city of Magic Temple, people's staple food is all kinds of fish salvaged from the Qingxi River, rice is still rare, you need to go to the south town thousands of miles away to buy, only large families can eat, unless it is a New Year's holiday, will not eat this kind of luxury food.
"Is it that precious? It's just rice cakes!" Liu Ruyue said. But she suddenly thought that the special geographical location of Mosha City, rice could not grow at all, and there were still fish products in the Qingxi River, which was simply a miracle.
Su Xuan glanced at Liu Ruyue and said to the maid, "Sister, go down first." After saying that, he took out another piece of rice cake and stuffed it into the latter's hand.
Seeing the maid leaving, Su Xuan walked up to Liu Ruyue, grabbed her hand, and said, "I'll check your pulse." I look, it's much better than yesterday. The pulse is stable, and after resting for a day or two, you can use the blood reishi to replenish blood qi. What a wonderful medical skill, I admire myself!"
Looking at Su Xuan's intoxicated expression, Liu Ruyue struggled to withdraw her hand and said, "You do have two brushes! ”
"Miss Liu, are you complimenting me on my high medical skills?" Su Xuan was very happy in his heart. "Where did you go last night, and who injured you?"
As soon as Su Xuan mentioned last night, he found that Liu Ruyue's complexion changed.
"They're not people at all. ”
Su Xuan was stunned, "It's not a human, is it a monster?"
Liu Ruyue stared at Su Xuan and said, "Those guys, although they are not monsters, they are almost the same. ”
Su Xuan saw that Liu Ruyue was not lying, so he recalled that Liu Ruyue's strange wound was indeed not caused by ordinary weapons. He leaned his face over and whispered, "And what is it?"
"No one saw them for what they really were, and these things shrouded themselves in huge black robes, armed with giant scythes, roaming the 'Ghost Coast' all day long, searching for souls. They were given a name in the ancient texts - the Soul Messenger. My wounds are caused by this. Liu Ruyue still had palpitations at this time.
If it weren't for the series of miracles that happened last night, she would already be a corpse at this time.
Legend has it that the soul of anyone who is injured by a soul seducer will be devoured. Last night, he was just a photo, he was injured, and when he was desperate in his heart, a silver light emitted from his body, dispelling the soul envoy! What's even more amazing is that the hollow like a whirlpool, sucking himself into it, and when he was spit out, it was actually Su Xuan who appeared in front of him. What's even more bizarre is that Su Xuan also mastered a magical needle technique and pulled himself back from the ghost gate.
Is it a coincidence? Is it an arrangement?
"The name of the Soul Envoy is quite scary. "Su Xuan has already made up the image of this soul seducing messenger by himself. First of all, he was a man in a black robe, holding a scythe, was it the scythe of death? Why haven't you seen it on Wanren Mountain before?
At this time, Liu Ruyue said again: "This thing, originally stayed in the ghost sea, I don't know why, it actually crossed the black stone forest and ran to Wanren Mountain! Mr. Su Xuan, are you interested in going to the mountains with me again?"
Su Xuan glanced at Liu Ruyue and said, "You're about to die, do you know?
"Aren't you also going to the mountains if you don't want to die?
"Okay, but you're going to tell me why. Su Xuan thought about it, and agreed, besides, this is a hard-won opportunity, two people, together, it's wonderful to think about.
Liu Ruyue made up her mind, she knew that a smart person like Su Xuan would know the truth of the matter sooner or later. "The Soul Envoy is able to cross the Black Stone Forest, this is an abnormal thing. I suspect that the sealing barrier left by the saints has been broken. ”
"Seal the enchantment?
"In ancient times, during the war between humans and demons, the seals left by the saints were used to block the eastward advance of monsters and invade the continent again. If the barrier is destroyed, then the city will be devastated. ”
Su Xuan is always full of strong interest in the unknown, and when it comes to Demon Temple City, he must not stand idly by, he looked at Liu Ruyue's eyes and said, "Do you want me to save the world?" Okay, I promise you. But I can't get out......"
Liu Ruyue smiled, then took out a yellow talisman, pasted it on Su Xuan's chest, and said, "This is an invisibility talisman that can make your body invisible for a stick of incense." ”
"Is it so powerful?" It was the first time Su Xuan had heard of such a magical thing, and the undertaker's methods were really clever.
"Let's hurry up and eat, pack our things and get to the mountains as soon as possible. Liu Ruyue urged, took out a little dried fish from the box, and ate it elegantly.
"Do you want to have an adventure that you can just go? I didn't do this kind of thing before, right?" Su Xuan said, but he didn't expect to be gagged by Liu Ruyue with dried fish in the next second.
"Hurry up and eat, there are so many words, dried fish can't stop your mouth!"
Su Xuan was a little unhappy in an instant, and he was very reluctant to gnaw on the food, and after eating, he was pulled away by Liu Ruyue. "Wait, I haven't got my bow and arrows yet......"
"I'll take it for you, how can you mother-in-law and mother-in-law's ......" Liu Ruyue flipped her hand, and a brown crossbow appeared in her hand, which dazzled Su Xuan.
......
After a short time, the two of them had already appeared outside the West City Gate, and after walking two or three miles further, they could enter Wanren Mountain.
Suddenly, Su Xuan frowned, because in that air, there was a very strong bloody aura. "Something seems wrong...... he quickly pulled out his charm-blessed crossbow and looked around warily.
At this moment, the smile disappeared from Su Xuan's face, it was a serious and serious face.
"What are you doing?" Liu Ruyue had never seen Su Xuan's expression like this.
"It's dangerous outside the city, and I sneaked out with no guards around. ”
"I didn't expect you to have this side......"
"For a long time, I was on my own. ”
There is always a time in a person's life when it is dark, and few people can support it and see the sun.
What made Su Xuan care so much was not the smell of blood around him, but the fact that he was outside the West City Gate, which was originally full of people, but today it was extremely desolate, with autumn wind and falling leaves. What's even weirder is that I can't see a single person. Fear inevitably entangled in Su Xuan's heart and could not be erased.
Su Xuan's face was solemn: "Be careful, no one will protect me today." ”
But Liu Ruyue seemed more calm, she strode forward, leaving only Su Xuan with a sluggish face, as if the fatal injury she suffered last night was all healed.
"Slow down, you're still injured!" Su Xuan shouted, and also ran up and followed Liu Ruyue.
It was not the first time that Su Xuan had entered Wanren Mountain, but the surrounding environment had undergone amazing changes. In the past, the tall trees that grew in the mountains were tall trees with black leaves, because of the black leaves, it was difficult for the sun's rays to shine on the earth, and the mountains were in darkness all day long, and there was occasionally a black mist in the woods, and people who entered the mountains sometimes couldn't even see the road clearly.
But today, most of these tall trees were hit by a meteorite the night before, and a large part of them were broken. The originally cool Wanren Mountain had no trees to shade, and it became hot for a while, and in some places it can even be said to be very hot!
