Volume IX, Chapter 61

"That'...... Is my brother injured?" Ning Xue looked at him anxiously, and her voice was full of crying. Ye Wuchen smiled helplessly, so he had to pick her up again, then put her in the previous position, nodded her little nose and said, "Listen to my brother's words, stand here obediently, my brother promises that nothing will happen this time." ”

Ning Xue still wanted to say something, but finally held back and didn't say it, and looked at him with her little hands clenched. She knew that her brother must be doing something dangerous right now.

Ye Wuchen walked in front of the enchantment again, and this time, his gaze did not fall on the enchantment, but on the ground under his feet. He walked back and forth with his head down, his eyes surprisingly solemn. Then he crouched down, and after a moment of silence, he raised his right fist, condensed the power he had just recovered on it, and slammed it into the ground.

With a roar, the ground trembled slightly, and the ground in front of Ye Wuchen was bombarded with a shallow pit more than half a meter deep and more than half a meter wide. Wuchen, whose strength was once again lacking, was dizzy for a while, he stabilized his body, and gathered his eyes to look down. The soil layer exposed in the shallow pit is surprisingly flat, as if there is some force protecting the land below half a meter from any damage. And what made Wuchen's pupils shrink was the golden light that suddenly flashed. It was the hilt of a sword, emitting a scorching golden glow, and the body of the sword was buried under the soil, and the only exposed hilt faintly exuded a breath-taking momentum.

This is......

Ye Wuchen did not hesitate, and his hands were on the hilt of the sword. Suddenly, a soft golden glow enveloped his hands. As soon as he exerted a little force, the golden blade was pulled away from the ground with the sound of "Zizi", and it didn't take long for it to reveal its full appearance.

At the moment when the sword was completely drawn. The earth suddenly trembled violently, and the continuous sound of breaking sounded in my ears. Time. This isolated space, which has been sealed for an unknown number of years, is like a violent earthquake. People are frightened. In front of the small grass house, the old man who was closing his eyes and looking at the sky opened his eyes, and then his face changed: "Enchantment...... It's broken!"

The tremor of the earth and the sound in his ears did not attract Ye Wuchen's mind, and he looked at the giant sword held by him in a daze. The hilt of the sword is more than 30 centimeters, the blade is more than 1 meter long, the blade is more than 10 centimeters wide, and the whole body is golden and smooth as a mirror. Except for a small "south" character engraved on the tip of the sword. There are no other lines on either the body or the hilt. At this moment, a faint voice echoed in the depths of his consciousness......

"At the beginning of heaven and earth, two of the earliest lifeforms were born in chaos at the same time. They awakened at the same time, and were born to be fatalistic enemies, one occupied the south of chaos, the other occupied the north of chaos, and proclaimed themselves the emperor of the south and the emperor. The Southern Emperor and the Northern Emperor fought for many years, but to no avail, and the battle between them caused chaos to begin to break down. From then on, there were heaven, earth, man, gods, demons, ............"

The voice in his head suddenly stopped, as if it had been cut off by force, and there was no follow-up.

"You were calling me just now?" Looking at the sword in his hand, Ye Wuchen closed his eyes and asked with his heart.

"Yes...... It's me. The answer was a girl's voice. And there was a palpable nervousness in his voice.

"Who are you?"

"I ...... I do not know. ”

"Why did you summon me?"

"I don't know. ”

“...... Do you know who I am?"

“...... I do not know. ”

Three black lines appeared on Ye Wuchen's forehead: "Then what do you know!"

The girl's voice became even more nervous and panicked: "Don't be angry, master, I really don't know who I am...... All I know is that my name is Nan'er, and I am sealed in this sword. And you are my master, and only you can get me out. ”

"Reason. Ye Wuchen wiped the cold sweat from his forehead. Don't you know this, just now I was stupid and said I don't know.

"I don't know...... Yes. I slept for a long, long time, and then suddenly woke up, because I felt that the master was coming, so I called out to the master desperately. The girl's voice became excited.

Ye Wuchen frowned and asked, "Since you said that I can save you out, then what method should I use to save you if you sue me." ”

"I don't know. ”

“......”

"Forget it. Ye Wuchen felt a sense of powerlessness all over his body: "You can follow me in the future, and if you remember it one day, tell me." ”

"Well, thank you host, really thank you host. The girl responded cheerfully. The sword in Ye Wuchen's hand suddenly turned into a golden glow and shot into the center of his eyebrows, and there was a little more imperceptible golden light between his eyebrows.

The one who was sealed in the sword...... The sword turned into an energy body is still in the human body...... This kind of thing should be incredible, why I am not surprised at all, but have a sense of familiarity.

He shook his head and looked ahead of him. The barrier was destroyed like this, and the root cause of the barrier was actually because of the sword. What kind of sword is that, why is it buried here, and why is such an enchantment laid?

What are the fragments of ancient memories about the Southern Emperor and the Northern Emperor that appear in my mind?

He didn't expect to get an answer from the girl named "Nan'er", because she probably asked her anything, and she didn't know.

When Wuchen returned with Ning Xue, the old man was still sitting there calmly, his breath as steady as an unshakable mountain. And beside him, Chu Jingtian was talking to the old man left and right for a while, anxious like an ant on a hot pot. But the old man still didn't say a word, and jumped Chu up and down in a hurry.

Seeing Ye Wuchen come back, Chu Jingtian's eyes lit up, and he hurriedly greeted him, shouting from afar: "Brother Ye, I have good news for you, that strange enchantment has disappeared by itself, and we can go out!"

Wuchen smiled indifferently and did not speak.

The old man's razor-sharp gaze swept over him, as if the aura of substance made his chest feel like a heavy iron plate. The old man retracted his gaze and said with a smile: "Young man, now that the barrier has been broken, what are your plans?"

Ye Wuchen's heart was shocked, but his face was as calm as ever, and he smiled: "Let's talk about it later." ”

Ye Ningxue blinked her big eyes. Secretly looked at Wuchen, not understanding what they were talking about at all.

For the next period of time. The only thing Ye Wuchen did every day was to take Ning Xue out to have fun and go wherever she wanted. Sometimes I go to the jungle to hunt, sometimes I go to the fruit forest to pick fruits, and sometimes I even go to chase butterflies with Ning Xue like a child. In just a dozen days, they almost turned around this once sealed space. And Chu Jingtian followed them like a fart every day, and he followed them wherever they went, like a bodyguard with a bear's waist and a tiger's back...... Because this is what the old man meant, he himself did not resist doing it at all.

Ning Xue is happy like a bird out of the cage every day, and her cheerful laughter moistens Wuchen's heart again and again, she is the only embellishment of his blank world, and she can always touch the softest place in his heart.

It's just that...... Looking at the petite white shadow. He sighed faintly. The old man quickly stepped forward and put down the basket on his back. First tested Ye Wuchen's breath, then the withered old hand pinched his wrist, and after a while, his face showed surprise, and then he sighed and shook his head. Then set his eyes on this girl who was unforgettable at a glance. He pointed his finger on her little wrist, and a shocked look suddenly appeared on his face: "At such a young age, he has such strong endurance." A little bit more than exhausting all his vitality and potential...... At that time, there will be no way back. But even now, it has been greatly damaged, and I don't know what year and month it will take to recover, alas!"

"For you, a surprising little girl. I'll make an exception. ”

The old man grabbed Ye Wuchen with one hand and Ye Ningxue with the other, and the old and withered body actually easily held them in his hands. Then the body soared into the air and flew out of the forest.

Brother...... Brother......

In a coma. She kept calling his name. Because losing him would be such a fear to her.

When she was most helpless and didn't know why she was alive. It was he who took her hand and became her brother. When everyone rejected her and hated her, he touched her face and said that he would protect her, not let her starve, and not let her be bullied, and then he did not hesitate to offend the anger of the public and taught those who bullied her a lesson......

Since then, her world is no longer gloomy, but one more of him. It is also because of his existence that the world will be so nostalgic.

If you lose your brother......

She opened her eyes faintly and whispered, "Brother, brother...... Where's my brother?"

The whole body is sore, and it is so difficult to even move the eyelids. A gentle, old voice answered her, "Child, are you awake? Sleep a little longer, you are too tired." ”

"Brother, I want my brother ......"

"Your brother is right next to you, you can sleep in peace. If you don't take care of your strength, who will take care of your brother? ”

Ning Xue let out a soft "um", finally closed her heavy eyelids, and fell into a deep sleep again. She was really tired.

The old man looked at her with pity for a while, and said to himself: "It would be nice if I had this granddaughter, although my face is ruined, and she still has strange white hair, but her heart is so kind, even my old bones ...... Hey, okay, since I've made an exception once, let's help her again, anyway, I can't use this old bone anymore. ”

He stretched out two fingers and pointed them at the center of Ning Xue's eyebrows, and a warm stream of air began to pour in from his fingertips. Ning Xue's pale face in his sleep began to gradually appear rosy, the corner of the old man's mouth grinned, withdrew his hand, and then looked at his hands a little strangely: "After all, it's just a little girl, and it doesn't consume much of my vitality...... Whew, in this case, she should be able to recover when she wakes up, hey, it's really hard for her. ”

It's just that......

His gaze fell on Ning Xue's face again, with an inquiring look on his face, and he said to himself: "It's really strange, it's the first time I've seen such a scar after living for so many years...... What exactly is this caused by. ”

In the evening, Ning Xue finally opened her eyes again. Although her body still had soreness and pain, her strength had recovered a lot, she subconsciously shouted "brother", got up in a hurry, and then saw Ye Wuchen lying beside her at a glance, his face was still as pale as paper, and his breath was faint. She stayed there, just staring straight at her, unable to say a word, tears quickly condensing in her eyes. She sniffed her little nose and tried to hold back her tears, but the tears finally fell.

The old curtain was lifted. The old man walked in with a small bowl, and then said with a smile, "Child." You're awake. Come, let's drink a bowl of medicinal porridge first. ”

Ning Xue seemed to see hope, she hurriedly got down from the wooden bed, and then knelt in front of the old man: "Grandpa, please save my brother, please save my brother, please, old man, please save my brother...... You can ask Cher to do whatever you want. ”

After speaking, her little head was about to knock down, and the old man hurriedly helped her up. Secretly sighed, with a pity smile on his face: "Child, listen to grandpa's words first and finish this bowl of porridge, and grandpa will talk to you again, okay?" By the way, you can call me Grandpa Long." ”

"Well, thank you, Grandpa Long. Ye Ningxue nodded gratefully, picked up the medicinal porridge on the table, and drank it directly without a spoon. Because she was so hungry. Ran just drank a small half, she put the bowl down again, "Grandpa Long, I want to give the rest to my brother to drink." ”

The muscles in the old man's face twitched. He finally let out a long sigh and said, "Son, you sit down first." Sit down next to your brother. ”

Ning Xue sat down as she said. Suddenly my heart began to feel uneasy.

At this time, a young man's hearty voice suddenly came from outside: "Grandpa." I'll be back!"

The curtain of the door was lifted, revealing a heroic face. Around twenty years old, with sword eyebrows and starry eyes, Yingting's face has obvious arrogance, and there is a faint melancholy. Although this is just a remote town, this person is by no means an ordinary person can have both momentum and temperament. Seeing Ye Ningxue, he was stunned at first, and then asked with concern: "Little sister, are you awake, are you still feeling unwell?"

Old Man Long had already told him about Ning Xue, which moved him and made him sigh even more in his heart. is so affectionate at such a young age, it is really rare in the world.

Ning Xue raised her little face full of anxiety and asked, "Big brother, are you?"

"This is my grandson, his name is Long Zhengyang, you can call him Brother Long. The old man said gently.

Long Zhengyang's face flashed with obvious surprise, because he confided his real name to an outsider so lightly.

"Brother Long...... Okay, my name is Ning Xue, Ye Ning Xue, is the name my brother gave me. Her gaze stopped on Ye Wuchen's face, expecting him to wake up immediately.

"Your brother's name...... Is he your own brother or?" asked Long Zhengyang suspiciously.

Ye Ningxue shook her head: "Everyone else hates me, only my brother treats me the best, plays with me every day, protects me, and gives me a name." ”

Long Zhengyang smiled and said, "Little sister, most secular people judge people by their appearance, so you don't have to pay attention to them. It seems that this little brother is not a layman, so it's no wonder you don't even want your life for him. By the way, little sister, where did the scars on your face come from?"

Ye Ningxue was stunned for a while, because she had never thought about this question, so she could only shake her head and say, "I don't know, like my brother, I don't remember the past...... Please hurry up and save my brother, okay......"

Old Man Long's eyes flickered, and he sighed lightly and said, "Yang'er, you go and find out about his condition." ”

"Me?" Long Zhengyang was surprised at a glance: "But grandpa, I only know some of the simplest medical skills, this ......"

"Just try it. ”

Long Zhengyang seemed to understand something, stopped talking, hesitated for a moment, and then stretched out his right palm and pressed it on Ye Wuchen's chest. But immediately, he withdrew his palm as if he had been burned by fire, and his face was horrified.

Chapter 013: Five Years of Heart Refining

"This ...... How is this possible. Something was moving inside him, knocking his internal organs out of place completely, and there were internal injuries everywhere. And there are some strange forces desperately trying to protect his internal organs from being destroyed. This...... Could it be that he has fallen for some demonic spell?"

"Yang'er, in your opinion, is it still possible for him to recover?" asked Old Man Long.

Long Zhengyang shook his head: "He still has a breath left." It's already an incredible miracle. Fully restored...... There was no way! His last bit of breath could be dissipated at any moment. ”

Ye Ningxue's body shook, and her wide eyes turned dead. He could only look at them with godless eyes, and muttered an almost desperate murmur from his mouth: "Save my brother...... Save my brother......"

"I've never heard of this before, let alone encountering it. Perhaps only the Snow Maiden, who is known as the world's first divine doctor, has the possibility of saving him. Long Zhengyang said contemplatively.

The world's first miracle doctor...... Snow Girl?

Ning Xue seemed to grasp a life-saving straw, and she asked urgently: "Then where is she, I will go to her." She will definitely be able to save her brother, she will definitely be able to!"

Old Man Long smiled bitterly. said: "Snow Maiden's medical skills are recognized as unparalleled in the world, and no matter how clever the divine doctor is, she can only be ashamed of herself in front of her." It is rumored that only people have a breath left. She was able to get him back to life in less than a month. It's just that she lives in the Snow Girl Peak in the extreme north of the northern Canglan country all the year round, and she will only walk the mainland once a year. And those who take the initiative to seek medical treatment will be turned away, even the royal family of Canglan Country is no exception. Little girl, even if you have the heart to beg her, but this place is far away from the extreme North Pole of the Canglan Country, and you don't know what year or month it will be to get there with your ability, alas! Even if you can hold on, your brother will not be able to hold on. ”

The last glimmer of hope was ruthlessly extinguished. Ning Xue's pale lips moved twice, and then she squeezed her little hand tightly, suppressing her tears.

"By the way, grandpa, there is a way to renew his life. The eggs of spirit beasts, celestial beasts, and divine beasts contain powerful vitality that can extend the life of a dying person by a week to a month. He asked Old Man Long with his eyes.

Old Man Long shook his head: "I know that there should be a few spirit beasts and heavenly beast eggs there, but it will take nearly a month to go back and forth. Not to mention ......"

When we meet in Pingshui, is it really necessary to spend such precious things to save this strange boy?

Ye Ningxue's eyes kept looking at them without blinking, and her small hands kept tugging at her clothes. Long Zhengyang was very uncomfortable with her, and said apologetically: "I just went to Tianlie Mountain today. It was found that the flamingo had just laid its eggs...... Hey, if I can have the strength to slay the Heavenly Beasts, I will definitely help this little brother. ”

Old Man Long shook his head and patted Ning Xue's thin shoulder: "The flamingo has a gentle temperament. Does not actively attack humans. But if anyone touches its eggs, it will be attacked with the most ferocious of all. The strength of the heavenly beasts is not what we can resist. ”

Ning Xue didn't say a word. After a brief pause, she looked up. showed a grateful smile: "Grandpa Long, and Brother Long." Thank you so much, you are all very nice and nice people, not only do you not hate me, but you also helped me and my brother so much, thank you so much. ”

Old Man Long shook his head with a smile: "It's not us who help you, but yourself." ”

"Thank you very much, if I have the opportunity, I will repay you later. ”

"Oh, little girl, if you really want to repay us, how about you call me a godgrandfather?" said Old Man Long with a smile.

As soon as these words came out, Ning Xue was stunned for a moment, Long Zhengyang was even more shocked, he was about to speak, but was glared at by Old Man Long, he immediately turned around and stopped talking, but his eyes were still extremely complicated.

Ye Ningxue knelt in front of Old Man Long again, and shouted crisply: "Grandpa." ”

"Okay, get up quickly, you are so weak now, don't kneel around like this. Grandpa, although I also have a granddaughter, a few years older than you, but she is very naughty and rude, and I haven't come to see grandpa once for several years. You're more sensible than she is!" Old Man Long helped her up and looked at her with a smile on his face. Ning Xue's eyes were hazy, and she wanted to cry: "Except for my brother, I finally ...... I have relatives again......"

"That's right, you girl is so cute, even if you don't have a brother, you still have a grandfather with you. Old Man Long said with a smile. His words made the expression on Ye Ningxue's face stiffen, her eyes lowered, she turned to look at Ye Wuchen, who was still lying there without moving, and said softly: "Grandpa, and Brother Long, can you let me accompany my brother alone for a while." ”

Old Man Long nodded, glanced at Ning Xue and Wuchen respectively, and walked out with Long Zhengyang.

When their footsteps walked away, Ye Ningxue's long-suppressed tears finally couldn't be controlled anymore, she lay on Ye Wuchen's body, suppressed her crying, and the tears soon wet the clothes on his chest.

As soon as he got out of the hut, Long Zhengyang couldn't wait to say: "Grandpa, I think it's really inappropriate for you to think of her as a goddaughter so rashly, don't say it's just the first day of meeting, even if it's ...... as a grandfather."

Old Man Long waved his hand to prevent him from talking, and said slowly: "Have you ever thought about what that young man is most likely to do after she dies?"

Long Zhengyang thought for a moment and said in a low voice: "Yes...... Die. ”

"That's right. Old Man Long sighed: "I'm giving her a reason to live." Yang'er, when you reach my age, you will know that a qiē's power, fame, wealth, and sex are all dispensable things outside the body, but the most precious thing is to have someone who really treats you wholeheartedly by your side. If I had an infatuated confidante like Ning Xue Yatou back then, I would not hesitate to leave behind my fame and fortune...... It's just that by the time I really came to my senses, I was already old, and it was too late. And such a girl, how can I bear to look at her...... Hey!"

Long Zhengyang's expression was stunned, and his mind drifted to where he didn't know where to go under Old Man Long's words.

Old Man Long's eyes squinted, and he asked indifferently: "Yang'er, you have been here with grandpa for a few years." ”

"Five years. Long Zhengyang hurriedly replied.

"In the past five years, you have accompanied your grandfather to eat coarse tea and light rice, and you have to feed yourself every day, which is really bitter for you. ”

Long Zhengyang shook his head: "No, I know that grandpa is all for my good, and in the past five years of heart training, I really feel that I have grown a lot." ”

Old Man Long smiled and said, "In the past five years, you have returned a total of seven times, and these seven times, in addition to your family, there is also someone who knows, can you tell Grandpa who she is?"

Long Zhengyang's face was flustered for a moment, and he secretly glanced at his grandfather's expression, but he didn't dare to answer. (To be continued......)
