Chapter 19 The Long Road Ahead
In the unknown time and space, the old man in a wheelchair in the dark room suddenly woke up, his eyes flashing with surprise and a hint of worry. Immediately after, the few fingers he had left to use were moving rapidly.
"In the end, it's still ...... Is it broken......"
At the foot of the mountain, not far from where Tan Yiju lived, Jiu Ban led a spirit beast with a white head and a red tail and a tabby body on the road. The spirit beast was given by Tan Yiju to nine and a half, and its name was Lushu. Lu Shu's voice is pleasant, with the ability to do gods, for Jiuhan is not only a mount, but also a companion.
His eyes were staring at the square compass in his hand, and Tan Yiju's words were still lingering in his ears:
"When I was doing this for you, I calculated for you the directions of eight people who were similar to yours. Although it can't be very detailed, the direction should not be bad, and I have sealed the information in the compass for your own understanding. Nine-and-a-half, one thing you have to keep in mind is that although the ritual has ended, your journey of changing your life against the sky has only just begun. You only have to kill the other eight people who are similar to you one by one in order to finally complete your rebellion. A lot of times if we want something, we have to exchange it for something, remember!"
"The hard part of the road is that you have to face and avoid all temptations. Your path to recovery is no less than the legendary holy monk's journey to the west, so if you encounter the sound of the dark ghost ringing in your ears along the way, remember not to listen!"
"Changing your life against the odds is not as simple as you think. You're not just just plundering other people's luck, but more importantly, you're constantly opening up your own internal knots in the process, so as to complete your own transformation, you know?"
Tan Yiju's solemn expression was still faint in front of Jiu Ban's eyes when he said these words, but at this time, he had already ridden Lu Shu out of the long distance. A person always has to go to a distant place, just like a wanderer leaving his hometown, a young man and a crown. Maybe he will grow up slowly, but he still has to learn to grow up slowly, learn to become a lonely man.
It's a man's mission.
On the mountain in the distance, the breeze blew Tan Yiju's long hair and long beard, and he looked at the nine halves and Lu Shu who were gradually disappearing in the distance, and sighed softly.
"You just let him go?" When the ninth half was gradually moving away, a figure suddenly appeared behind Tan Yiju. The figure was slightly small, and it looked like a boy of more than ten years old, but his voice was quite old. If Jiu Ban appeared next to Tan Yiju at this time, he would recognize the person at a glance, and then he would definitely point at this person and shout loudly: Xiaodu, why are you here?
Yes, that's right, this person is Twilight.
"What else?" Tan Yiju sighed softly and said, "Fighting with that person, we can only be prepared for complete failure first, and then we can seek that small chance of success in a complete defeat." That person is too strong. After Tan Yiju finished speaking, there was a long silence, and neither he nor Twilight spoke. Indeed, compared to themselves, the man who never appeared was too powerful, outrageously powerful and terrifying.
"How are you preparing over there?" After being silent for a long time, it was Tan Yiju who fell to the ground and opened his mouth first.
"What is there to prepare? I finally used my death to give birth to the idea of revenge for this stinky boy of Nine and a Half, but you haven't completely severed that person's connection with him?" said Twilight, who seemed to be a little angry, and said angrily. "Do you know how hard it is to fight that person?"
"Then you cut off that person's grip on the world?"
"Nope. ”
"What?" Tan turned around, his voice almost frightened.
"Well, well, it's not completely nothing, it's just temporary. If he wants to regain control of this world, I'm afraid it won't be long. ”
After listening to what Xiao Du said, Tan Yiju's expression gradually became serious: "Xiao Dui, you know, that person is equivalent to the heaven of this world, and we are taking advantage of the loopholes of this world. ”
"So what?" Twilight asked, no more childishness in her voice. "You want to get out of that person's grip, and I want to kill him. The enemy of the enemy is the friend, as long as we have the same goal, what is not easy to talk about, what do you have to worry about?" After a pause, Xiao Du added: "Tan Yiju, do you remember that I was in the same era as him, so what I can master is your best knife, right?"
Tan Yiju didn't answer, Xiao Du didn't continue to speak, and the only thing that appeared next was the breeze passing through the valley, the birds, beasts and insects chirping, and that's it.
According to Tan Yihu's guidance, Jiuhan planned to go directly to the country of the hegemon first, one reason was because he wanted to persuade the country of the overlord to send troops to help him fight against Jairus and complete his great wish to restore the country;
It's not difficult to get to the country of hegemony, but the difficult thing is to get Lushu along the way. It is said that Lu Shu is really a magical creature, in addition to normal eating, drinking and resting, on the way of Jiu and a half, he is often bullied by Lu Shu. When he was sleepy, Lu Shu used his head to push him, when he was eating and drinking, Lu Shu also used his head to push him, and when he wanted to go to the tree to observe the distance, the spirit deer jumped up and pushed him with his head.
And it seems to be tireless, and there is no time for boredom. As for Jiuhan, he can't control it at all, so he can only let him bully.
After stumbling, one person and one deer finally arrived in the territory of the country of hegemony, but the mountains and forests are full of beasts and even monsters. Before a man and a beast were about to wade across a stream, Lu Shu suddenly called out uneasily. At first, Jiu Ban thought that Lu Shu was playing tricks and preparing to tease him, but seeing that Lu Shu had no intention of crossing the river at all, and kept shouting in a certain direction in the forest, Jiu Ban finally realized that something was wrong.
Pulling out the long sword around Lu Shu's neck, Jiu Ban turned over and dismounted, and also raised the long sword and stared at the place where Lu Shu called just now. After changing his life against the sky, Jiu Ban felt that his five senses were also much more sensitive, and after ignoring Lu Shu's call, Jiu Ban faintly heard the sound of a wild beast roaring in the forest, and it seemed that there was more than one source.
Jiu Ban frowned slightly, hurriedly swayed back and forth, and placed the long sword across his chest. And Lu Shu also took a step forward, pointing his head ahead, and swayed his hooves from time to time. didn't wait long, or when Lu Shu was just stepping towards his hooves, a dark purple demon beast quickly rushed out of the forest, and quickly approached one person and one deer. This demon beast is purple and resembles a lion tiger, and the purple is dotted with yellow spots, it is the Ben Thunder Leopard! The Ben Thunder Leopard is not a high-level demon beast, just because it is purple and long in speed, it has such a domineering name. The leopard was very fast, and it was only with the help of his already excellent eyesight that he finally saw it. But before he could make a move, Lu Shu hissed and rushed directly towards the Ben Thunder Leopard in front of him, Lu Shu directly pushed the jumping Ben Thunder Leopard out with his head, and the leopard stood up in pain and roared at the forest, and then ran out of the forest with two Ben Thunder Leopards.
What? Three?
When Jiu Ban saw the three monsters appear, the long sword in his hand trembled unconsciously. Seeing him like this, Lu Shu directly pushed him with his head, and only after nine and a half did he realize that the three Running Thunder Leopards on the opposite side actually moved, and they rushed towards them at the same time. Lu Shu hissed again and rushed towards the Running Thunder Leopard just now, while Jiu Ban raised his long sword and directly faced the other two Running Thunder Leopards.
But when Jiu Ban raised his sword and was about to slash, the two Thunder Leopards running towards him suddenly stopped, as if they had hit a wall, shook their heads, and then circled around Jiu Ban. From time to time, they would pounce on Nine-and-Half, but they would always be unable to get close to Nine-Half, as if they had hit a wall. Although he didn't know why, Jiu Ban still raised his long sword and slashed at the two Thunder Leopards. Nine and a half can cut the demon beast but the other party can't get close to the body of nine and a half, after a few rounds, nine and a half with the advantage that the Ben Thunder Leopard can't hurt himself and successfully left dozens of sword marks on the two Ben Thunder Leopards, and there are drops of red blood on the long sword.
But these two Benlei leopards are not dead-headed, and they can't get close to this prey at first glance. Qi Qi hissed and rushed towards the spirit creature Lu Shu. As soon as these two Ben Thunder Leopards shifted their targets, it was Lu Shu who suffered, and where was the opponent of the three of them who fought with a Ben Thunder Leopard and gradually fell behind? Lu Shu saw that something was wrong, shook his head with a moment, and then turned around and ran away. However, the speed of the three Ben Thunder Leopards was not below it at all, and the explosive running in a short distance, especially the hunting behavior, how could there be any spirit beast that was the opponent of the Ben Lei Leopard? Although Lu Shu later ran around Jiu Ban, he still suffered a big loss and was bitten on the leg by the Ben Lei Leopard.
As soon as the move was successful, the other two Benlei leopards also pounced directly when Lu Shu fell to the ground in pain, one biting its throat and the other biting its abdomen. And when he saw the three Ben Thunder Leopards biting Lu Shu, and blood flowed out of Lu Shu's legs and abdomen, Jiu Ban roared, lifted his long sword and slashed at the three Ben Thunder Leopards. But despite the countless swings of the sword, the three Ben Thunder Leopards did not let go. In the end, in desperation, Jiuhan directly raised his sword and stabbed it towards the eyes of one of the Thunder Leopards, and the Thunder Leopard dodged his body. After copying the other two Thunder Leopards, they finally jumped away one by one. Seeing the opportunity, Lu Shu forcibly lifted a breath and jumped up directly to hide behind Jiu Ban, and Jiu Ban raised his long sword to stop in front of Lu Shu, so that Lu Shu was barely protected, so that the three thunder leopards would not get close to Lu Shu, who was almost dead. It's just that Lu Shu staggered behind the nine halves and could barely move, its abdomen had cracked a big hole, and even the internal organs could be seen.
If Lu Shu doesn't hurry up and treat it, the consequence will only be a life. But at this time, the three monsters were staring at each other, where did he get out and go out to look for medicinal herbs. It's okay if those monsters attack themselves, but they don't chase themselves, they just stare at Lu Shu, which makes Jiu and a half don't know what to do, and beads of sweat fall down his cheeks. Nine and a half's heart was full of anxiety.
Just when Jiu Ban was anxious and had no solution, and was about to fight to the death, suddenly a flash of ice arrow shot directly through the eye socket of a thunder leopard in front of him and stretched out from the back of his head. Then there were two loud "swishs" from the wind, and the other two thunder leopards fell to the ground and died directly after a few whimpering. Seeing that the three Ben Thunder Leopards seemed to die without having time to react, Jiuhan was shocked by the scene in front of him. Could it be that the Manifestation of Heaven directly lowered the ice arrow and took their lives? It wasn't until Lu Shu put his head on his waist with difficulty that he turned around and saw a woman on the top of a tree not far away, holding a long stick made of unknown material in her hand? Jiu Ban had never seen a weapon in the shape of a long club, but he only vaguely felt that it was a very powerful thing, and it was very dangerous.
The woman in front of her seemed to blend in with her surroundings, although the cloak was a cloth-like dress, but it was pleasing to the eye, infected by the natural tranquility on her body, she let down her guard defenselessly, and just wanted to watch her land on the ground with her eyes, and then come towards herself.
No, coming towards yourself? A trace of clarity suddenly flashed in Jiuban's mind, and he bit the tip of his tongue Jiuban finally woke up completely, and once again raised the long sword in his hand to face the woman who was walking towards him, cautious but a little timid. Looking at Jiuhan's unfriendly movements, with a fierce light in her eyes, the woman opposite stopped and put the "long stick" in her hand on the ground, so that Jiuhan could see clearly that it was a magic staff.
"If you stop me any longer, your spirit beast will die soon. After three moments of confrontation, the woman was the first to speak. The voice was full of ethereal, and there was a faint attraction between the syllables, which made Jiuhan can't help but let down the guard in his heart again. When Jiu Ban was about to put down the long sword in his hand and raise it again, Lu Shu whimpered and shouted twice, Jiu Ban turned his head around, and then saw Lu Shu's eyes flashing with tears and nodded.
Nine and a half frowned, but then calmed down again. Gradually, he put down the long sword in his hand, then took a step back to the side, gave way to the road between the woman and Lu Shu, and signaled that the woman could come over.
Although Lu Shu saw the opportunity to tease and bully himself along the way, Jiu Ban knew that Lu Shu was very psychic and understood human nature, at least his own careful thinking was seen through by it. It can even be said that it understands itself better than itself. So when Lu Shu nodded, he decided to listen to Lu Shu's words, and Lu Shu's situation was really not optimistic. Most of the internal organs in the abdomen flowed out, and for a short time, the blood merged into a small pool of blood under the body.
The woman saluted Jiuhan, and then regardless of Jiuhan's reaction, she walked directly in front of Lu Shu and squatted down. But she didn't immediately come to the rescue, but put down her staff and touched Lu Shu's head with one hand. Then an ethereal, natural voice popped out of her mouth again: "It's going to be fine, relax your spiritual sense." ”
Lu Shu snorted gratefully, and then didn't care what the woman would do to it, and directly pillowed his head on the grass, almost completely relaxed. Then the ninth half saw the woman stretch out her right hand, and then the golden light gathered in her palm, and then it became more and more vigorous, more and more dazzling, and the corners of the woman's cloak were blown up without wind. When Jiu Ban couldn't hold back the dazzling light anymore, he chose to cover it with his hand in front of him. The woman snorted violently, and slapped her palm towards Lu Shu's abdomen.
Killer?
Nine and a half watched the woman's movements, so he ignored the obstruction of the light in front of him, directly closed his eyes and raised his sword and slashed towards the place where the woman was, when he just took two steps away, suddenly a strong kick on his long sword, and then felt a stone hit his face hard, and then nine and a half people flew out directly.
The moment Jiuhan was kicked out again, he was obviously stunned in his heart, but then a wave of joy came to his heart, feeling the pain on his face that seemed to be divided into two halves, and Jiuban quickly realized the origin of this pain: it was Lu Shu's hooves. Every time he was plotted by Lu Shu to counterattack, Lu Shu often used this trick to subdue him again, so when this kick was kicked in Jiuhan's face, Jiuhan instantly reacted that it was Lu Shu's deer hooves. And Lu Shu is obviously seriously injured, where will he have the strength to make such a move? And this scene is not when it was not injured before. But then Jiu and a half thought of the root of the problem: Lu Shu was cured, and he still had the strength to fight back against himself and subdue himself again.
Then Jiuhan jumped up frantically: "Lu Shu ???" Before he could finish speaking, a hoof in front of him instantly enlarged and beat him down again. Then the ninth half saw Lu Shu humming beside him with his hooves, and looked at him with a rather unfriendly gaze. The meaning seems to say: Let you prepare to attack the injured me, stupid, suffer!
At this time, a jade onion cream-like hand suddenly appeared in Jiuhan's sight, and this hand touched Lu Shu's neck to appease the angry Lu Shu, and then stretched out towards Jiuhan. The woman's face was still shrouded in shadow in the sunlight, and it was impossible to see it at all, except for a few long strands of hair that slipped out of her cloak, leaving a faint fragrance in the air.
