Chapter 10 choose four out of two
It turned out that he didn't fall asleep? The little mallet sat beside him, and Ji Tongzhou on the side was snoring sweetly, and she said in a low voice: "What do you ask?"
"That...... Where are you from?" Lei Xiuyuan asked a little timidly.
The little mallet shook his head: "I don't know, I have been with Master before, and we live on a mountain called Qingqiu. ”
Speaking of which, the name Qingqiu was still heard from Dongyang Zhenren.
“...... Qingqiu?" Lei Xiuyuan was obviously stunned for a moment, if he remembered correctly, it seemed that it was a forbidden place where demons were rampant, right?
"Well, don't ask me what my last name is, I don't know. ”
"And what about your parents?
“...... I do not know. ”
Lei Xiu saw that her expression was a little gloomy, and he immediately regretted it, and said hurriedly: "I just asked casually...... Big sister, how old are you?"
"Ten years old. ”
"Ah......" Lei Xiuyuan seemed surprised, "It turns out that he is younger than me, so he shouldn't call you the head of the eldest sister." ”
How could he be smaller than him! The little mallet glared at him, this child was thin and short, no matter how he looked at it, he was only seven or eight years old, younger than him?!
Lei Xiuyuan was a little proud: "I'm eleven years old, older than you." ”
How the hell has he spent all these years, he is eleven years old, and he looks like he is only seven or eight years old?
He took out the primary election letter in his arms, unfolded it, and sure enough, the words "Lei Xiuyuan, eleven years old" were written on it.
"I'm only better than you, I used to have my father and mother and my brothers and sisters, and then they were all killed, and I was the only one left. Lei Xiuyuan's eyes were slightly red, and he suddenly asked, "Have you heard of Gaul?"
The country of Gaul is somewhat familiar, and when she was five or six years old, the master seemed to have taken her on a trip, and she only had some sporadic impressions, as if the scene there was very vicious and cruel.
"I am from Gaul, and, if I guess correctly, the two sisters Ye Ye and Baili should be Gauls, although their accents are so faint that they can hardly be heard, but the surname Baili I know, I used to be a nobleman in Gaul. ”
The little mallet bowed slightly, no wonder I always felt that the surname "Baili" was familiar, and the Gelin sisters were different from ordinary girls in their gestures, and they used to be nobles.
"The Gallic State is no longer there, it was annexed by the neighboring Wu Hook four years ago, and although the Gauls resisted desperately, there were immortals on the other side...... Last time, Ye Ye said that the more royal families are, the more they must practice, and it is precisely because there are no immortals in the royal family in the Gaul Kingdom, even if mortals resist desperately in front of immortals, they are as powerless as fallen leaves in the wind. All the royal families of Gaul died on the battlefield, and Wu Gou used tyranny and heavy taxes to try to make hundreds of officials and civilians submit, and anyone who disobeyed was killed without forgiveness. My father, who was a waiter in the Ministry of Rites in the court, was copied because he wrote a poem satirizing the government after drinking, and all the people in the family who were over seven years old, both male and female, were beheaded for public display...... I was eight years old at the time, and the officials who raided the house took pity on me as the youngest child in the family and saved me a year for me...... On the day of the execution, I hid in the crowd and watched, looking at my parents, my sister, my brother...... They are all dead...... From then on, I wandered the world alone until I met Brother Lu...... However, Brother Lu was also killed, and I ......"
Lei Xiuyuan's tears fell into the fire, he was trembling all over, and soon rubbed his eyes vigorously as if he wanted to rub the tears back.
"Good thing I met you. He smiled reluctantly, "Eldest sister, I always want you to take care of me, I'm really useless, if I'm alone, I don't know if I can successfully pass the second election." ”
"I don't know if I'll be able to pass the second election yet. The little mallet tossed the fire with a twig, "I didn't take care of you, so I don't need to say that." ”
The two children were silent, and the forest was silent, except for the slight crackling of the fire.
I don't know how long it took, so long that the little mallet was about to fall asleep, and suddenly, there was a mournful whistling sound in the distance, like birds, and like a group of women howling, and the birds in the forest were suddenly startled and flew up, fluttering a large area, and the miasma all over the place began to ripple gently like the surface of the water, rippling wave after wave.
The little mallet immediately dropped the branch, and Ji Tongzhou, who had been sleeping soundly next to him, was also woken up and muttered, "What sound?"
The little mallet put her finger to her lips to silence her, and she listened intently, the sound coming from due east, the whistling sound of sobbing and complaining, which seemed to be mixed with other voices. The wind blowing from the east gradually became stronger, and the hair and clothes of the three people were blown to sway.
"Go check it out. She quickly extinguished the fire, and the three of them acted in unison, rushing towards the sound.
The more I ran forward, the trees gradually became sparse, and finally there was an obvious path in the forest, and the little stick mallet was happy in his heart: there was a road, which proved that he was about to get out of the forest!
There is a steep corner on the path ahead, the three of them just turned over, but they were shocked by the scene in front of them and stopped on the spot, in the dim forest, there stood a huge fox demon with a snow-white body as silver, nine long tails swaying in the air, beautiful to the extreme, but also terrifying to the extreme. It was looking up to the sky and screaming, and there were about a hundred children in four piles around it, some screaming around, some methodically attacking with spells.
"It's so big!And it's a nine-tailed fox demon!" Ji Tongzhou's tone changed, "The legendary nine-tailed fox demon!"
Little mallet had another horror in her heart, this fox demon was the same as what she saw that night!
A person next to his ear suddenly sneered, a hoarse voice, laughter with disdain and annoyance.
“...... Old sir?" she called in a low voice.
The mysterious old gentleman finally gave her a reaction: "It's just a fake, not a real demon, hum......"
"How do you know it's a fake?" she asked hurriedly.
No one answered her, and he fell into endless silence again.
"Over there! Still standing and watching?!" a few children who were busy using spells against fox demons yelled at them, "Come and help!"
Ji Tongzhou was the first to rush over, he had already pinched a fire spell between his fingers, the fire rose majestically, drawing a bright line in mid-air, as fast as a meteor, sticking to the abdomen of the nine-tailed fox demon, the fire swelled, scorching its snow-white fur.
"It's amazing!" all kinds of surprises and exclamations sounded around him, Ji Tongzhou stood proudly, unstoppable, he finally regained some majesty.
"Eldest sister, aren't you going over?" Lei Xiu was stunned when he saw the little mallet on the side, causing several people to look at her angrily, and hurriedly dragged her.
The little mallet smiled bitterly, to be honest, she didn't know how to use a spell at all, although she learned the strange breathing method, but she still didn't know what it was like to have the aura in her body, the spell had to be activated by the aura in the body, and it was not simply thrown out to have an effect.
She slowly pulled the charm from her baggage, picked one and threw it tentatively, and the paper floated softly on the ground, without any momentum, and the other children immediately showed disdain.
"Big sister's head, it's not like this. Lei Xiu saw that she was despised, and he was more anxious than anyone else, "You first squeeze the spell in your hand, imagine that it is one with yourself, and then throw it out when the aura is full of spells." ”
If it were as simple as it sounded, she would have done it a long time ago.
"Don't worry, take your time, I'll go and help first. Lei Xiuyuan estimated that she didn't want others to see her useless side, so she immediately walked away considerately.
No matter how slow it is, it's useless...... It was not her habit to stand and watch, and the little mallet picked up many stones and threw them at the fox demon's eyes one by one, but each stone was bounced away three feet in front of it, and none of them could be hit.
"What are you doing!" a girl on the side finally couldn't help it, "Someone actually wants to hurt a monster with a stone!
"Long-winded. The little mallet glared at her, "You're not standing still yet." ”
The girl said angrily, "That's my spell is all gone!"
"Then be quiet. ”
The little mallet didn't bother to say more to her, she felt a little strange from just now, no matter how everyone used the spell to attack the fox demon, it always stood still and did not attack people, only made all kinds of terrifying screams, shaking its tail - could it be that it couldn't move? The old gentleman said that it was a fake, not a real demon, and it should have been specially prepared by the Young Phoenix Academy for everyone to practice, the purpose was to test the children's ability to adapt to changes.
If you guess correctly, only by defeating this fox demon can you really pass the second choice.
Lei Xiuyuan didn't know when he ran behind the fox demon, and the children seemed to have discussed some tactics, and suddenly forty or fifty people threw out the water walking spell at the same time, and the water waves turned into a thousand layers of ice, and soon the four claws of the fox demon were frozen on the ground.
The little mallet praised in his heart, but these ice could not trap the fox demon for long, and during the struggle, a few large pieces of ice had begun to crack, and at the same time, countless spells were thrown together, some turned into fire, some turned into thunder, some were sharp, some were cold, and the spell was smashed into the fox demon, for a while, the thunder and lightning flashed, and the ground even trembled, and the thick mist and fire and black smoke broke out instantly, and the little mallet hurriedly covered his mouth and nose and leaned to the ground.
After a while, the fog and smoke gradually dissipated, and the fox demon's snow-white fur had been so badly damaged that it was impossible to see the color, and its huge body was lying on the ground, not knowing whether it was dead or alive.
"It's done!" I don't know who shouted, the children immediately cheered, Lei Xiuyuan's crybaby was so excited that he cried again, Ji Tongzhou was holding his arms and smiling proudly, looking back at the little mallet standing aside in a daze, he felt that he could finally raise his eyebrows.
"Do you know what strength is?" He had completely forgotten about the fact that he had been beaten with a small mallet and his nose and face were swollen, and her fierce and vicious impression had become a useless idiot, "Haha! I have seen it all, smashing the fox demon with a stone? I don't have the strength to go back as soon as possible!"
The small mallet broke his fingers and made a few clicks, and Ji Tongzhou immediately turned around and left.
"Look! there's a door over there!" I don't know who shouted again, and sure enough, a golden door appeared out of thin air at the end of the path, and the little mallet couldn't help but get excited in her heart - if she passed the second choice by passing through the forest before noon, as long as she passed through that door, she could enter the Young Phoenix Academy!
Many children rushed to the gate without holding back, but those who rushed to the front were bounced away one by one without warning and fell to the ground, as if they had suddenly fainted, and the people who came before and followed immediately stopped and looked at each other - why can't they go out?
Suddenly, the fox demon on the ground, who should have died to death, stood up silently, and under the frightened eyes of the children, it raised its head to the sky and roared, and the little mallet felt that its voice seemed to be real, like a giant hand squeezing the heart, making people breathless.
The wind was raging, flying sand and stones, dazzling people's eyes, she hurriedly closed her eyes, and heard endless screams and exclamations in her ears, Lei Xiuyuan seemed to be calling her, but his voice was like thousands of miles away, vague, and she couldn't really hear it.
After a long time, the wind stopped, the little mallet slowly opened its eyes, almost no children around could stand anymore, most of them had fainted to the ground, only a few people were half-kneeling on the ground, and seemed to be conscious.
“...... Eldest sister ...... head next to Lei Xiuyuan's weak voice sounded, he squatted on the ground, his face was pale, and his expression was very painful, "Demon ...... What a demonic spirit!"
The little mallet was dazed, what kind of demonic energy? Why didn't she feel anything?
As soon as his eyes turned, Ji Tongzhou was also colorless, as if he was enduring some extremely painful oppression, but his situation was slightly better than the others, and he was barely standing.
The awake people all showed desperate expressions, and the huge fox demon that should have been subdued by them stood in place again, the nine long tails changed and swayed, and did not move like Fang Cai, the difference was that this time it seemed to release a very powerful demonic energy, and the children who couldn't resist fainted.
And, it seems...... The only person who can move freely without feeling is himself, and the little mallet can't figure out the reason for it for a while.
What is she going to do next? If she doesn't really knock it down, she can't get out of the door, but what can she do? Ordinary stones can't hit the youkai at all, and she can't use the spell, so she stares at it here?
The hoarse voice next to his ear suddenly sounded: "Hmph, you robbed me of something, and you dare to use it here...... It's okay, even if it's less than one in a thousand, it can also come in handy. Little girl, go forward, go to it!"
Here it is again, the mysterious old gentleman, the little mallet began to wonder if he was possessed by some powerful old ghost, why was she the only one who could hear his voice?
"Why do you have to say it twice every time I talk to you?" the old gentleman was furious.
"I can't see you, who are you?" asked the little mallet in a low voice.
"This is not something you should know, have you thought about the second choice? Then speed it over! Otherwise, I will go to sleep!"
By the way, she had to choose two times.
The little mallet immediately walked towards the fierce fox demon, and Lei Xiuyuan exclaimed: "Big sister, don't go over!
She didn't seem to hear, standing under the fox demon, looking up at it, her lips moving, I don't know what to say or what to read, soon, she raised her right hand and gently pressed it on the fox demon's fur - "pop", as if something was gently shattered, the fox demon's body turned into countless points of light in an instant, scattered piecemeal, and a white paper floated down in mid-air, with runes drawn on the paper, it was indeed a demon made artificially.
The huge demonic power that oppressed the whole body turned into nothingness in an instant, and Lei Xiuyuan crawled over with a rolling belt, his eyes were red, and he was about to cry when he opened his mouth.
The next moment, his mouth was covered, and the small mallet pressed his chin, and said lightly: "Do you dare not cry?"
Ji Tongzhou also came over, he looked at her like a ghost, his eyes were about to fall out, and the rest of the sober children were only four or five, and they also came around, everyone wanted to say something, but they didn't know how to open their mouths - what kind of ability did she have? Touch, the fox demon was subdued? And revealed his true appearance, this is a fake demon created after a blank piece of paper was blessed with immortal law, the real second choice is not a forest full of miasma, it should be this fox demon. Thinking back to their hard work to think of tactics, using spells and spiritual powers, all the pride and enthusiasm of Fang Cai were wiped out by her light touch, and everyone understood at this moment what it means to have someone outside the world, and there is a sky outside the sky.
I don't know how long it took, but finally no one spoke, no one knew what to say, and they passed through the glittering golden door one by one, and this time no one was bounced open. Ji Tongzhou opened his mouth, and only after a long time did he come out with a sentence: "...... I'll go first. ”
Lei Xiuyuan was still rubbing his eyes, but the expression on his face had changed from shock and worry just now to fanatical worship.
"Big sister, you are really the best!" his eyes were shining, "Sure enough, you are a real person who does not show up! I will be as powerful as you in the future!"
The little mallet was silent, it wasn't her, it was the mysterious person hidden in her body, he was the real real person who didn't show up.
"Let's go too. She didn't want to continue discussing this, and the two walked through the gate together.
