Chapter Twenty-Five: Luo Ming's Past
"In the year of my father's expedition, I was only three years old, and I planted the spiritual root, which is a courtesy from Donghai County to the orphans of the spirit people on the last expedition. Luo Ming's voice was soft and tinged with a hint of sadness: "Sometimes I'd rather not have this spiritual power. ”
"After my father went on the expedition, my mother never smiled again, sometimes she would be in a daze all day, I was hungry, she didn't cook for me, sometimes I was hungry, I often found something to eat by myself. ”
Xu Yi deeply sympathized with this little girl, a child who was only three years old was about to suffer the tragedy of a broken family, and her mother should have been greatly stimulated and mentally abnormal.
"Fortunately, at that time, a small bag of food wrapped in lotus leaves would appear at the door of the house every day, although it was not much, but it was delicious. I didn't eat it all by myself, but I gave half of it to my mother, who was stupid and gave me whatever I ate. ”
Xu Yi's heart hurts, he didn't expect that the beauty in his arms was much more pitiful than himself, and his arms were tighter, and he just wanted to give her more warmth.
"After half a year like this, one day of heavy rain and thunder, my mother seemed to wake up again, woke me up in the middle of the night, and began to teach me to practice spiritual power spells. After dawn, my mother cooked a delicious meal, which was the fullest I had eaten in half a year. ”
"Although my mother didn't sit in a daze anymore, she was extremely strict with me, and every day I practiced spiritual power except for eating and sleeping. Whenever I see other children playing, I envy them. ”
Xu Yi's eyes were also a little red, and he found that his tears were too low, so he wanted to cry.
"I remember when I was four years old, one stormy night, my mother woke me up, made me kneel in front of my father's spiritual seat, and made me swear with the mantra that I had learned during the day that I would definitely participate in the expedition twenty years later, to find my father, to see people in life, to see corpses in death, if I can't find my father, I will die by thunder, and I will never be able to live after death. ”
Xu Yi's heart tightened, and he couldn't imagine that a mother would let an ignorant little girl make such a poisonous oath! At that moment, Xu Yi choked up and said: "Your mother should have been strongly stimulated, and she had a demon barrier in her heart, so she would let her own daughter make such a poisonous oath." Xu Yi finally found the word magic barrier to replace the word madman.
Luo Ming smiled sadly and said: "Demon barrier, in fact, there is no need to avoid it, my mother is crazy." I didn't know at first, I was too young to know what an expedition was, and I didn't know what the mantra vow meant, so I did as my mother told me and made a poisonous oath with mantra. ”
"As I grew up day by day, I also noticed that something was wrong with my mother, sometimes she would repeat one thing over and over again, and sometimes she would sit under the eaves and look at the courtyard gate in a daze for a long time. Later, I gradually learned that my mother was a crazy person as others said, but I didn't care, she was always my mother, and I would beat anyone who said bad things about her. Under the supervision of my mother, my spiritual power spell has been cultivated very well, so no one in the village dares to say anything about my mother, at least not in front of me. ”
Xu Yi sighed in his heart, Luo Ming's mother is a madman, sometimes when a madman focuses on one thing, the effect is often beyond imagination, Luo Ming is like this, under her supervision, the spiritual cultivation will be so powerful.
"Ever since I was sensible, I have known the meaning of mantra, and every time I ask my mother why she wants me to make such a poisonous oath and why she has to kill me, my mother will only say one sentence in a daze, your father wants us to accompany him!"
Xu Yi sighed and said: "Your mother is delirious, in fact, your father has a spirit in the sky, and he must hope that your mother and son will continue to live happily, and will never selfishly ask your mother and son to accompany him." ”
Luo Ming wept and said, "This is all my destiny." Later, when I grew up, my mother's spirit deteriorated day by day, more than a year ago, her illness became more serious, sometimes she would go crazy and self-harm, I had to tie her up, but it still didn't work, one night, she used water absorption to drain the blood from her whole body and died, I found out when it was too late. Before she died, she seemed to have her wisdom back, and she took my hand and said only one word, she said that she had harmed me all my life. ”
"At that time, I wanted to hug her and question her loudly, but in the end I held back, what's the use of questioning her again?" Luo Ming said this, and couldn't help crying loudly, hugging Xu Yi and crying very sadly, Xu Yi didn't know how to comfort her, so he had to hug her tightly. At this time, although the warm fragrant nephrite was in his arms, Xu Yi couldn't give birth to the slightest lust, and there was only one thought in his heart, that is, to fight for his own life, and to let this poor girl live happily.
"Ah Yi, sometimes I sleep until midnight, I will wake up with fear, I am actually very afraid of going on an expedition, I am afraid of dying like this, I don't want to die, I still want to live, I haven't gotten married, I haven't had children, there are still many things in the world that I haven't tried, many places I haven't been, I'm really scared. Luo Ming hugged Xu Yi tightly, her delicate body kept trembling, and her voice was also mournful.
Xu Yi hurriedly stroked her back and comforted: "Don't be afraid, you are already married, you are my wife, I will take good care of you for the rest of my life, love you, respect you, you are no longer alone, you still have me." You can rest assured, this expedition will no longer be a return without a return, we will all survive well, come back together, and then we will have many children, and then enjoy the good days in the world. I still have a lot of stories that you haven't heard, and a lot of new things that you haven't seen before, and I'll make them for you to see. Luo Ming, you remember, I am here, with me, keep hope, don't lose faith!"
Luo Ming burst into tears and laughed, hummed heavily, hugged Xu Yi's neck, and lightly printed her red lips, in fact, she knew that Xu Yi was comforting her, and her true word poisonous oath was more difficult to complete than Xu Yi's true word poisonous oath, because she didn't know where her father had gone after leaving the enchantment on the expedition back then, and if he had really died in battle, where his bones would be. To see people in life, to see corpses in death, where to find the vast land occupied by the Sand Demon Clan? This is an impossible oath to fulfill, so Luo Ming feels that this is Xu Yi comforting her.
With a deep kiss, Luo Ming gradually lost herself, she forgot her terrible vows for the time being, and she didn't think about what would happen in a year, at this moment she just wanted to be his wife wholeheartedly. And Xu Yi is also fully committed to it, doing everything that a considerate husband should do, so that Luo Ming can feel the beauty of love and desire.
One night later, the clouds dispersed and the rain fell, Luo Ming leaned on Xu Yi's chest lazily, her index finger naughtily drew a circle on his chest, her face was flushed, she finally realized the beauty of the world, and her heart was full of tenderness and sweetness.
"Daughter-in-law, when I arrived in Tokai County, I would like to visit the county keeper and persuade him to choose the same route that your father set out for next year's expedition. Xu Yi suddenly said: "If we go out along the original old path, we should be able to find the clues of the expeditionary force twenty years ago, so that we can have a good chance of finding your father's whereabouts, and after finding it, your oath will be completed, so you can quickly return to the enchantment, so that you will no longer have to worry about your life." ”
Luo Ming sighed, she didn't expect Xu Yi to have such a plan, he didn't just talk casually last night, he was really thinking about how to help him fulfill his oath.
"It's best to find someone who arranged the expedition twenty years ago, and get more clues, such as what they brought with them when they went on the expedition, what clothes and armor they wore, what tokens your father had, etc., the more clues, the greater the chance of finding your father and breaking your oath. Xu Yi's eyes were deep, and he didn't stop thinking about how to find Luo Ming's father.
Luo Ming's eyes were red, and he couldn't help but lie on his chest and said softly: "Even if I find my father, if you don't come back, I won't come back, and I don't want to be alone for the rest of my life." ”
Xu Yi was overjoyed, looked at Luo Ming and said, "Really?" Luo Ming hummed softly, the two looked at each other, and they were both tender and sweet, and they were inseparable.
After snuggling up to each other for a while, Luo Ming said, "What if the county guard refuses to follow the old path you said twenty years ago?"
Xu Yi said: "I will use the secret of explosives to make a deal with him, I think he will agree." And we only launched an expedition from here twenty years ago, and the Sand Devils must have thought that we would choose another place to make an enchantment, and maybe we would loosen the guards there. ”
Luo Ming snorted, and he didn't know why Xu Yi had so many ghost ideas in his head, and he couldn't say anything at ease when he followed him.
"By the way, I see that your spiritual power is already at the Xuan Ling level, have you completely absorbed that Inner Dan?" Thinking of what happened last night, Luo Ming realized that Xu Yi's spiritual power was already at the Xuan Ling level.
"Hehe, I was completely fused two days ago, and then I tried to use the Hidden Spirit Technique to hide the spiritual power, and I didn't let everyone notice it. I didn't expect to save you last night, Xu Cheng didn't expect that I had advanced to Xuanling, so I would be unprepared by me. Xu Yi said triumphantly: "By the way, Ming'er, I find that it seems that when everyone uses spiritual power spells to fight, they are not very good at using martial arts?"
"Martial arts, do you mean that in the stories you told, Yang Guo and Xiaolongnu would do those kung fu?"
"That's right, when I played against Xu Cheng last night, he couldn't even dodge my ordinary long fist routine. ”
"You're talking about martial arts, it's the fighting skills taught in the military, in fact, five hundred years ago, many of our Terran warriors were proficient in martial arts, but later they fought with the sand devils, the sand demons were strong and fast, and their martial arts were vulnerable in front of them. Many fighters with strong fighting skills have died in battle, and there are not many fighting skills that have been handed down. Now everyone fights with spiritual power spells, and they all go to practice spiritual power spells, and martial arts training is also difficult to practice, and the effect of practicing is not as good as spiritual power spells, so that kind of fighting skills have gradually lost a lot, and only in the army, the golden warriors who need to charge into battle will train some martial arts, but I heard that it is also very simple. ”
Xu Yi's eyes lit up when he heard this, and his heart became happy, when he was at Earth University, he signed up for a martial arts club for four years, and some of the martial arts he learned there should now come in handy again!
