Chapter 34: A Promise of Life and Death

In the Demon Night Forest, Xiao Li recalled the scene when he exchanged expressions with Qing Xu for the first time, his expression became more and more excited, his teeth trembled, his moist eyes looked into the distance, and he whispered silently, "I won't forget your words, let alone your appearance." ”

"Babbling" was a little dizzy and ran back, saw the lonely squatting on the ground and crying bitterly, and screamed in confusion. Naturally, he couldn't understand why he reacted like this, because he wanted to jump on top of him, but he was dodged sideways. "Babble," he cried out again, and sat aside with some confusion, for in his memory he had never rejected him like this.

At this time, there are too many things to think about, and he doesn't want to be disturbed.

The Ancient Tree Demon naturally knew this, so even when he saw that Lili's expression fluctuated so much, he didn't ask a question.

Qiuqiu, who was hiding in Qiuqiu's arms, was a little afraid of the ancient dryad, and had never made a sound before, but now he felt the violent rise and fall of Lili's chest, and quietly pressed against his chest, motionless, as if he wanted to try his best to help Lili calm down.

Xiao Li stretched out the cloth strips, only to see some shabby cloth strips, with elegant and beautiful words written, "Stand, live~" Such a familiar word, how could Li Li forget. When I saw Qing Xu's words again, my mood was completely different from when I opened the codex five years ago, and I was no longer as warm and timeless as before. After the violent mood swings, only grief, restlessness, and doubt remain.

"Alas~" The ancient tree demon felt that his mood calmed down a little, and sighed again.

"Stand alone, live~"

At this moment, Xiao Li seemed to be able to really feel the tone of Qing Xu when he wrote this sentence, his clear eyes were already moist and red, his light and fair cheeks were full of tears, and his expression was full of helplessness and sadness.

I can't imagine what it would be like when she cried. Thinking about it like this, how not to be sad, how not to be painful.

"Stay Alive"

It's just a sentence of "live", and there are no superfluous words, but it seems that there are endless meanings that have not been expressed. Why didn't she say what happened to her, why did she let others hand over the strips, was it because the situation was critical, and there was no other way? Thinking of this, I couldn't help but feel a strong sense of uneasiness in my heart.

"Qing Xu, where are you, why did you only leave such a strip of cloth, why?"

Seeing that Xiao Li was silent for a long time, he just wanted to walk towards Li Li, but suddenly heard him say this, so he had to hesitate to retreat.

The cloth strip in his hand was tightly covered, and a seemingly damaged cloth was extremely delicate in his hand, I don't know what the texture was, but it was certain that this cloth was very strong, because the cloth had great mood swings before, and he used too much force several times, but the cloth was not damaged in the slightest.

He naturally didn't have the heart to observe these at this time, he didn't guess that on the cloth given to him by the ancient tree demon, there was information related to Qing Xu, he never thought that he would find things related to Qing Xu in the Demon Night Forest, because in the past three years, he has struggled to survive in the rift valley alone, and three years have made him convinced that there is no one around him who can talk to him and hold his hand and quietly hug each other.

All the pictures with Qing Xu Qianying's shadow only exist in the memories and longings that have stood countless times, and he could never have imagined that he would get the news of Qing Xu again in such a way, and it made him even more painful and uneasy. The vision that originally supported him to go on all the way now seemed to collapse in an instant, leaving him disheartened for a while.

The babbling seemed to be somewhat aware of the grief of the lonely stand, and the swarthy eyes were no longer confused, but seemed a little moist.

When he looked up, he glanced at him and said with a sob, "Bah, I, I can't go back, I can't take you to eat delicious food, I can't invite you to listen to love dramas......"

"Bah?" his tone was full of confusion, and he couldn't understand why he suddenly said that.

"Hmph, hum" Qiuqiu noticed that his chest was rising and falling more slowly, and seemed to have no fighting spirit for a while, so he slid down his arm, trying to get into his palm. But he kept clasping his hands, and he couldn't get into it for a while, so he had to hum on the side.

When the ancient dryad saw Qiuqiu, he narrowed his eyes slightly, and an imperceptible light flashed by.

I don't know how long it took, but he kept staring at the strip of cloth in his hand, and suddenly, he muttered to himself, "If the form is really critical, then why is the writing so neat?"

"In addition, Qing Xu can hand over the strip of cloth, which means that she must also be in the Demon Night Forest, so where is she now?

Thinking that Qing Xu's danger was just speculation, and there were still many questions to be confirmed, Xiao Li took a few deep breaths, and then arched his hand to the ancient tree demon and asked, "Senior, three years ago, there were several Terran cultivators who cultivated to the heavens and broke into the Demon Night Forest, I don't know if you know?"

The ancient tree demon pondered for a moment and nodded slowly.

Seeing this, he then asked, "When did the senior get this strip of cloth?"

"A month after the Terran cultivator broke into the Demon Night Forest. ”

"One month! the first month in the Rift?"

He was deeply impressed by the first month of the Rift, because after suddenly finding himself in an eerie environment, the first time was the most difficult, and the huge gap made him difficult to accept for a while, let alone adapt, and for nearly a month, he barely said a word. Fortunately, many good memories, many things that have never been done, many mysteries that have not yet been solved, and the company of babbling and Qiuqiu, supported him to slowly survive.

Xiao Li shook his head, just mentioning some spiritual exploration related to Qing Xu, but he seemed to have found something unbelievable between the questions and answers.

After a long groan, Xiao Li still asked, "Was there a girl with long braids among the Terran cultivators three years ago?"

The ancient tree demon didn't hesitate, and shook his head directly, "Three years ago, I couldn't get involved, and I don't know if there was a girl. ”

"Alas~" Xiao Li couldn't help but sigh, frowning and thinking to himself, his thoughts gradually returned to normal, and what he needed now was to figure out the ins and outs of this piece of cloth. "The message was given a month later, and there were only two possibilities, either Qing Xu was taken to the Demon Night Forest with him, or she found it a month later. ”

In Xiao Li's opinion, the first possibility is more likely, because the last memory of Xiao Li three years ago is that he had just separated from Qing Xu, and the people who went to arrest him were very likely to take Qing Xu away with him. In addition, it is impossible for Qing Xu to enter here after a month, because it is impossible for her to go so far in the Demon Night Forest, and besides, if Qing Xu finds the Demon Night Forest after a month, then the others will also know that she is standing here, and it is impossible for the people in the soul department not to try to rescue her. However, judging from the current clues, since he arrived in the Demon Night Forest, no one has looked for him at all.

In addition, and more importantly, Qing Xu only left a sentence of "live", why is this sentence so important? It is because after a month in the rift, he had self-harm, and it is very likely that because of this, Qing Xu left this strip of cloth exactly one month later.

This shows that Qing Xu has long known that he is in the Demon Night Forest, and it is very likely that she has been observing him, and it is precisely because she saw his state at that time that she will say "live".

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but shudder, "Since you're here, why don't you let me know you're here, why? Even if you can't get to the bottom of the rift, you can let me know you're nearby? Why don't you give me this strip of cloth yourself? At least give me a little hope, so that I don't have to suffer so much, why don't you tell me?"

Thinking of this, he became more and more confused. He didn't understand why Qing Xu didn't meet him in the Demon Night Forest, and the consequence of her doing so was to leave him alone in the rift. In his view, this is the equivalent of abandonment.

"Jingle Bell~"

At the moment when he was resentful, a gust of wind suddenly blew around him, blowing like fossil-like leaves colliding with each other.

"Huh?" said he frowned. In his impression, he hadn't felt the wind blowing for more than three years, and he thought that there would be no wind in the Demon Night Forest, but now why did the wind suddenly rise?

"What a heavy grievance......" At this moment, the ancient dryad narrowed his eyes, felt the wind in the air, and said in a deep tone.

"Resentment? This wind is caused by resentment?" stood up abruptly, looking around, but there was no figure around.

"Is it my resentment? I, I'm blaming Qing Xu? How can I complain about Qing Xu?

"Even if Qing Xu is really in the Demon Night Forest, and if she really observes me, then it is very likely that she is in the same vulnerable position as me, and how many choices can she have?
