Chapter Seventy-Four: Sacrificing Yourself to Rescue
During this period of captivity, I have been haunted by the seal, which has made me forget the existence of the Ink Shadow, and this sudden intimate feeling reminds me of it, could it be that the Ink Shadow is calling me? For this most loyal companion, I have a friend-like feeling. I searched through the memories in my mind, and finally remembered that at the last moment of the battle with the Moon Cliff, Mo Ming flew out of his hand and fell into the grass not far away, why did Mo Ming suddenly call me. I tried to explore the sealed dark magic with my mind, but the ink was only a flash in the pan, and there was no trace of it.
I walked out of the room, breathed in the fresh smell of the air, and felt a sense of relief. In the past few days, I already know the general layout of the village, in the southernmost side, is the martial arts arena, the children of the village generally practice martial arts there, in the village, there are very few people who only practice magic, because, compared to magic, the progress of martial arts is much faster, and magic is only an auxiliary role for them. On the east side, which occupies about half of the area of the canyon, is where everyone cultivates, and each family has its own amount that must be completed, and here, except for Tianyun, Yuewuya, Lifeng, children under the age of fourteen, and old people who cannot walk, they must cultivate their own crops to support themselves, and they are not allowed to work for nothing. Including Tiangang, he has to grow his own grains and vegetables. People here are vegetarians, which makes me very uncomfortable, but I am a meatless type, and it is so painful to have no meat to eat. On the west side is the residential area, which is the stone house where I am, and on the north side is some large stone houses for hoarding belongings and a few retreat rooms, where the children have a certain foundation in martial arts when they are 16 years old, and they will pass the retreat, and the elders of the village will judge the most suitable kung fu for their cultivation, and teach them according to their aptitude.
Anyway, there was nothing to do, I decided to go to the martial arts arena to have a look, I came for more than ten days, in addition to practicing, I would go outside to take a walk, look at the surrounding situation, if you want to escape from here, of course, you have to find out the terrain first.
"Brother Lei Xiang, what are you going to do?" A childish voice sounded, no need to look, I also know that this is Songren's sixth generation grandson Songsong, he is the person who can make me feel the most happy here, I just turned around this year, bent over, hugged the chubby little boy who was made of pink and jade, kissed him lightly on the face, and smiled: "What are you going to do with Songsong?"
Song Song covered his little face and said, "Brother Lei Xiang, your beard is so tied, Song Song is playing here." β
I really like this kid, his delicate eyes without the slightest impurity make me admire, the bones of his body are very special, and they belong to the kind that is most suitable for cultivating martial arts. "Uncle will go to shave later, now, uncle wants to go to the martial arts arena, will you go?"
Song Song clapped his hands and said, "Okay, okay, Song Song is going, I want to see my brothers and sisters practicing that flying kung fu." β
"Okay, then brother will take you there. "I walked towards the martial arts arena with Song Song in my arms, the people around me have become accustomed to my presence, greet me from time to time, and I also respond one by one, the people here are simple, there is very little friction, although I am imprisoned, but I feel very comfortable with these villagers. Perhaps, Tianyun just wants to use the peace and tranquility here to dissolve the anger in my heart, if he thinks so, then he is wrong, hatred has been ingrained in my heart, it can never disappear, as long as I don't die, one day, I will ascend to the divine realm to avenge the eldest brother Theomandis.
Thinking about it, I have already walked to the martial arts arena, the venue here is not small, it can accommodate dozens of people to practice at the same time, the fists and feet in the field are flickering, flashing with different colors of fighting energy, it looks gorgeous, and he clapped his hands loosely and said: "It's so beautiful, it's so beautiful." β
A gentle and fluttering voice came, "Songsong, why did you let Brother Lei Xiang hold him again, come down quickly." β
I turned my head and looked, it turned out to be Song Song's sister - Song Xue, when I first saw her, I thought she and Zi Yan were sisters, almost the same temperament, but the divine aura on her body was not as strong as Zi Yan, Song Xue was seventeen years old, she was one of the very few children in the village who practiced magic, learning the same light magic as Tianyun, no one would underestimate her, although there were few people who practiced magic, but everyone knew that the strongest Tianyun here was the use of magic. As her name suggests, Song Xue wears snow-white clothes every day, and it seems that she also cultivates here. Although she is not very old, Song Xue's unusual temperament and outstanding appearance have made her the object of pursuit by the young people in the village, as long as she does not belong to the Song family and is a teenager of the same age, there is no one who does not like Song Xue.
I smiled at her and nodded, "Hello, Songxue." β
Song Xue smiled indifferently and said, "Hello, Brother Lei Xiang, are you also here to practice martial arts?"
I shook my head with a wry smile and said, "What kind of martial arts do I practice, I'm a wasted person, and I don't know anything." β
Song Xue smiled slightly, turned to Song Song, and said angrily: "Come down, you little slacker." β
Loose turned his head, hugged my neck tightly, and said coquettishly: "No, I won't come down, Brother Lei Xiang's arms are strong and generous, he is comfortable holding me, don't believe it, you can try it too." β
Songsong's childlike words suddenly made me and Songxue blush, Songxue's beautiful eyes flowed, and she looked aside. I took a deep breath and said to Song Song: "Okay, my brother will hold you, you see, how good your brothers and sisters have practiced, Song Song, what do you want to learn in the future?"
Song Songbi drew a small fist and said, "I want to learn martial arts in the future, and I want to fly around like my brothers and sisters, hey, hey." As he spoke, he began to draw in my arms. At this moment, not far from our left front, a young man was exercising, the reason why I noticed him was because his fighting spirit was very strong, and he was walking the same path as Li Feng, he was struggling with the big stone in front of him, and the fighting spirit of his whole body was transported to the limit, and the Teng Teng mist overflowed from the top door, looking at the appearance of his green muscles exposed, I knew that he was going to do his best.
Song Xue said in a low voice: "He is the seventh generation grandson of the Li family, called Li Yun." And our generation, a famous practice maniac, although his qualifications are not the best in our generation, but his skills are definitely the highest, my grandfather always praised him for his progress, and let our Song family children learn from him...... Ah, look. Before Song Xue finished speaking, the fighting qi around Li Yun's body had changed, and the strong green mangs gathered into his hands, and he let out a loud shout and slammed into the boulder weighing a thousand catties in front of him.
"Boom. The boulder was shattered by his powerful force, and countless stones of different sizes scattered and rushed around, one of the largest, which looked like a hundred pounds of boulder, flew in our direction, and before the boulder arrived, the whirring wind had blown my face painfully.
"Be careful. β
"Get out of the way. β
Countless voices of concern came. If the boulder rushes over, Song Song and I will bear the brunt, and even the pine snow next to it will not be spared, if it was before, I only need to wave my hand to blow this boulder to smash, but where do I still have the strength now. If it were someone else, it would be fine, but Songsong is so kind to me. The rest of the village was always wary of me, but he wouldn't. And Song Xue couldn't help at all at this time, with her magic level, she couldn't chant a spell in such a short time. In the critical moment, I made a decision, my qi moved with my thoughts, and in an instant, I carried the little mad god fighting qi in my body to my back, turned around violently, and hugged Songxue into my arms, and lowered my head at the same time. He shouted in a low voice, "Mad God Battle Armor." "Although I knew it was useless, I still subconsciously recited a life-saving spell in the crisis.
These were all done in an instant when the lightning was fired, the boulder smashed on my back, and I was holding Song Song and Song Xue in my whole body and was swept out by the powerful force of the boulder, and the violent impact made my throat sweet, and a mouthful of blood spurted out, which happened to spray on Song Xue's white clothes. I barely managed to control my body and rolled on the ground, defusing most of the momentum without causing any harm to my sibling in my arms. I smiled at Songxue and said, "I'm sorry, I soiled your clothes." After saying that, I tilted my head and fainted. There seemed to be a lot of shouting around me, but I was getting to hear it clearly.
............
I vaguely heard someone next to me say, "He should be waking up soon, this kid's physique is really strong, even if he is sealed by me, he can still resist attacks of that intensity." "I'm gradually sobering up, this should be Tianyun.
"This kid is still very good, he can sacrifice himself in times of danger, Uncle Tian, are you ......?"
Tianyun said kindly: "Songren, I know your feelings, if it weren't for this Lei Xiang and these good qualities, I would have killed him a long time ago, I wouldn't have lifted the seal for him easily, I have to wait until he no longer has any desire to win, no more violence, before you can think about it, if you let him out now, it is very likely that the world will be in chaos." β
Songren said respectfully: "Yes, Uncle Tian, of course everything is up to you." β
Tianyun smiled slightly and said, "I'll make it clear to you, I don't want you to have a pimple in your heart, your two great-great-grandsons are fine." I don't need to show them. β
Songren said: "Don't bother you, Xiao Songsong was just a little frightened, and Songxue, the kid, wasn't even frightened, but was just worried about Lei Xiang's safety." After all, they saved him. Li Yun, this kid is too reckless, and later, I will find Li Han (Li Feng's son, the same generation as Songren, and personally passed on Li Yun's kung fu) to settle accounts. β
Tianyun nodded and said, "Li Yun is too reckless this time, it seems that the security measures on the side of the martial arts arena need to be strengthened, you have to tell Song Xue when you go back, a girl as big as her is easy to get emotional, Lei Xiang is not a good choice, do you understand what I mean?"
"Understood, Uncle Tian. β
"That's good, you go out first. β
After Tianyun waited for Songren to go out, he said to me, "Boy, I know you've come to your senses, don't pretend to be dead." β
I knew I couldn't hide it from him, so I opened my eyes and said, "Did you save me?"
Tianyun smiled and shook his head, "It was you who saved yourself, I didn't expect that after being sealed by me, your muscles and bones are still so strong, worthy of being the descendant of the Beamon Behemoth, under the impact of that stone, but the inner mansion was shocked, and the bones and skin were fine." You must know that although I have sealed your dark magic, your body is still unable to withstand my baptism with the light element, so you can only rely on your own self-healing ability. This time, you saved Sister Song Xue, I am very happy, this made me see your kind side, Song Xue said, at that time, you did not hesitate at all, and used your body to block the danger for them. That's very gratifying. β
I snorted coldly and said, "What's so gratifying, I saved them because I liked Songsong." Let's go, I want to rest. β
"Alright then, you have a good rest, I will tell you to go down and not let people disturb you. After saying that, the white light flashed, and the sky cloud disappeared.
I drove away Tianyun for a purpose, and although I was injured by saving Sister Songxue this time, I was extremely happy, because at the last moment, due to my own crisis and the call for the Mad God Armor, Tianyun's seal on me seemed to have been knocked open by the power of the armor A very narrow crack. Since he was there just now, I didn't dare to make any changes, and the fighting qi that I would cultivate here in the future was squeezed into the cracks, but I didn't expect it to succeed, that is to say, I can already have a connection with the previous mad god fighting qi. It's just great for me.
I cautiously swam my mind to the crack that was knocked open, the crack was extremely small, almost invisible, I tried to extract the mad god fighting qi from the crack, but found that I couldn't suck it out at all, what was going on, just now, I obviously infused the mad god fighting qi into it. Could it be that this crack can only enter and not exit? A hope vanished, and the pain from behind me made my heart irritate. At this moment, Mo Ming's call sounded again, and it seemed to be clearer than the last time, and my heart was happy, and my mind was much clearer. If only Mo Ming could be by my side, my partner, where the hell are you.
I suddenly thought that if I kept inputting the cultivated mad god fighting qi into the seal, what would be the result? No matter how strong the seal was, it was only a limited seal, and if the energy he sealed exceeded his maximum load, then the seal would naturally be unlocked, and thinking of this, my confidence suddenly returned. Continue to concentrate and cultivate the mad god fighting spirit. Although the meridians are blocked, the mad god fighting qi that I have cultivated separately can quickly fill the meridians where I am located, and in a whole day, I squeezed the mad god fighting qi full of meridians through the cracks six times, although I didn't feel anything unusual, but I believe that this will definitely succeed.
The reason why I was able to condense the mad god's fighting qi in the case of the seal has a lot to do with the mad god's Tiomandis to my inheritance and the spiritual void stone milk, the power of the god plus the genius earth treasure has made every meridian in my body the best place to store energy, and I have obtained the inheritance of the mad god, which has increased my speed of cultivating the mad god decision a lot, and as time goes by, the more I absorb the inheritance and the spiritual void stone milk, the more obvious their effect is. After all, the mad god is a first-level god, and that power is not something that Tianyun, the guardian god of light, can imagine.
............
Mo Yue shook her hand, threw Mo Ming out, and said angrily: "Are you fooling me, let me go north for a while, let me go south for a while, and there is no place to run back and forth." β
Mo Ming was tossed aside, and there was a soft thud.
Mo Yue sat aside angrily, it had been five days, but she was going around in circles under Mo Ming's command, no, she had returned to the vicinity of the White Smoky Mountain. No wonder she was angry.
After a long time, the anger in Mo Yue's heart calmed down a little, and she picked up Mo Ming from the ground, she couldn't help it, except for Mo Ming, Lei Xiang didn't leave any clues, so she could only rely on this mysterious looking long sword.
"Sword, sword, you tell me where your master is, I promise you, don't hurt him, okay, you tell me an accurate direction?"
Mo Ming shook slightly, and the feeling in that direction appeared in Mo Yue's mind again, and it still appeared to the north. Mo Yue said deflated: "No, why is it still going north, I walked so far north that day, and then when I asked you, you asked me to go south again, this tossing back and forth, I was almost exhausted by you." β
Ding, Mo Ming shook again, and the thought of going north still appeared in Mo Yue's mind. Mo Yue's heart moved, and she thought, could it be that she had gone through the last time, if she did, Mo Ming would naturally let herself go back. Thinking of this, Mo Yue suddenly had a feeling of enlightenment in her heart, and her wings spread out behind her and floated into the air.
Her judgment was correct, because Mo Ming and Lei Xiang had a strange induction, so she would be guided to follow the route Lei Xiang took when he left, but, after all, Mo Ming was just a sword, although he had a spirit surname, he had no thoughts, Mo Yue had indeed walked through, so Mo Ming would tell her to go back.
Mo Yue was much more careful this time, every 10 miles she flown over, she would ask Mo Ming's opinion again, finally, after three days of hard work, she finally got Mo Ming's instructions to the west in a forest, and after proving her conjecture, Mo Yue was suddenly overjoyed, although it was a little slower to find it in this way, but there were always traces to be found.
............
I still continue to compress the mad god fighting qi I have cultivated from the cracks every day, although the fighting qi that fills the meridians every time is not much, but under my input again and again, I feel that the sealed mad god fighting qi seems to be gradually growing. Although this continuous growth of my mad god fighting qi cannot break through the existing level, if I break the seal, I may be able to immediately and quickly improve the strength of my mad god fighting qi in the shortest possible time.
I can now increase the meridians nine times a day and compress them nine times, this speed has exceeded the amount I gathered when I normally cultivated the mad god fighting qi, and with hope, I suddenly swept away the depression, and when I broke through the seal and raised the mad god decision to a new level, I would leave here immediately, and I would not fight against those perverted guys in Tianyun again. Tianyun, I'm afraid he already has the ability to be close to the second-level god, unless I get all the abilities of Big Brother Theomandis, otherwise, I won't touch him, not to mention, although he sealed my power, he has never hurt me, except for the loss of ability, I have always lived a very happy life here. The hatred I felt when I first arrived has been alleviated a lot.
I exhaled and closed my efforts, since I was stoned that day, today is already the ninth day, during these nine days, my meridians have been overloaded, except for the person who delivered the food, no one has come to disturb me, I feel that I need to take a break, and if this continues, if the meridians are broken by my fighting qi, with my current situation, I don't know how long I will have to wait to continue cultivating. If you want to be hasty, you can't reach it, and proper rest should be beneficial to continue your cultivation.
The afterglow of the setting sun outside the window told me that it was already evening, and I pushed the door out to refresh my muscles and bones, and the exercise of the meridians these days made my whole body blood flow continuously, and it seemed that my spirit was much better than before the injury.
Stretching my waist, I moaned comfortably, and just wanted to go out for a walk, a timid voice sounded, "Brother Lei Xiang, are you okay?"
I turned my head and saw that it was Songxue, and there was a lovely Songsong next to her. I smiled and nodded at Songxue, squatted down, and said to Songsong: "Songsong, come, let Brother Lei Xiang hug you." β
Song Song cheered, broke free of his sister's hand, ran towards me quickly, and threw himself into my arms, I picked him up and turned around in the air twice, Song Song let out a crisp laugh, I was just about to kiss his little fat face, Song Song covered my mouth, and said, "Don't, Brother Lei Xiang, you haven't shaved yet." β
I laughed and said, "Ah, I'm sorry, my brother forgot." β
Song Xue walked over and said in a low voice: "Big brother, your injury is just right, don't work too hard, relax and relax." β
I smiled slightly and said, "It's okay, my injuries have all healed, and you were all injured that day." β
Song Xue shook her head and said, "Thanks to Big Brother, I scared Song Song at that time, Brother Li Yun was too careless, if it weren't for Brother Lei, I'm afraid we would ...... , thank you big brother for saving your life. As she spoke, she squatted slightly, bowed her head and saluted me.
I hurriedly freed up one hand to help her up, and said, "Don't be so polite, since I'm here, I should do my best to maintain the village, that day, Li Yun didn't mean it, he was too focused on practice, so he didn't notice our side." Don't blame him. β
Song Xue smiled sweetly and said, "Big brother, you have a really good heart." Her smile was as beautiful as a hundred flowers, and I was slightly stunned. No one has ever said that I have a good heart, and there are many people who have commented that I am ruthless or scheming.
I shook my head and said, "Don't say that, I'm not a kind person, maybe, you don't know yet, I was captured by your ancestors." β
Song Xue asked in surprise, "Why did the ancestors arrest you? Did you do something wrong?"
I smiled bitterly: "There are some things that are not right or wrong, from their point of view, I did it wrong, but from my point of view, I did it right, you still don't know these things, save trouble, in the future, you and Song Song should try to come to me as little as possible, to be honest, I am not a good person." β
Song Xue shook her head firmly and said, "No, no matter what others say, you are a good person in my heart." β
Looking at this little girl who has not been deeply involved in the world, I feel a warmth in my heart. "I can't tell you, although I'm not a good person, I will never hurt you. β
Loosely grabbed my clothes and shook them back and forth, playing with my ears and hair, and for a while, it was much quieter.
Song Xue suddenly had a misty look in her eyes, and said, "Big brother, what is the outside world like?"
I was surprised and said, "Haven't you ever been out?"
Song Xue nodded gloomily and said: "From birth to the present, we have never left here, and we don't know what it's like outside, we can only figure it out from the stories told to us by our ancestors, you don't know, many of us here want to see the outside world." But the ancestors didn't allow it, and he demanded that only those who had cultivated to the strength of the dragon knight or above could go out. Look at Li Yun, he didn't really want to improve his strength, but he practiced desperately because of his longing for the outside. Big brother, if you have a chance, can you take us out?"
I was shocked, how could I agree to this request, and said resolutely: "No." Your ancestors didn't let you go out completely for your own good, the outside world is not as good as you imagined, full of deceit, a careless, maybe you will fall into a situation of no return, listen to the eldest brother, dispel the idea of going out, how beautiful this small valley is, the environment is quiet, how good it is to live a peaceful life here for a lifetime!"
Song Xue looked at me and said, "Big brother, since you were arrested, do you want to go out?" If you want to, then prove that the outside world is still beautiful. β
I smiled wryly, "Silly girl, it's not what you think." Yes, I do want to go out, because I still have a lot to do, and the outside world is just new to you, not beautiful. β
Song Xue stared at my eyes, and her voice was very low, "Then what if I let you out, can you take me away?"
I was shocked, I didn't expect this little girl's belief to be so persistent. Shaking his head, he said bitterly: "No, first of all, even if you let me go, I won't leave, because, now is not the time for me to leave, and if you let me go, once Tianyun will arrest us back, what do you think, how will they treat you, this risk is not to be taken, I am powerless now, and you are just a low-level magician, do you think we can go? Take 10,000 steps back, we successfully escaped, but, do you know how important I am to your Holy Dragon Knights?" If I'm gone, your Knights of the Holy Dragon may be destroyed, are you willing to be a sinner for the ages?"
After listening to my words, Song Xue froze, in fact, she just longed for the outside world, and never thought about it so much.
I put Songsong on the ground and said to Songxue: "Go back, don't come here to look for me in the future, lonely men and widows often have bad contact." β
Crystal tears suddenly flowed out of Song Xue's eyes, she looked at me so fixedly, Song Song shook her sister's hand and said: "Sister, sister, why are you crying, Song Song didn't make you unhappy, sister, don't cry, Song Song is very well-behaved." β
Song Xue stroked Song Song's head and whispered to me, "Brother Lei Xiang, I, I like you." After saying that, she didn't wait for me to answer, picked up loosely like a whirlwind, turned her head and ran.
I shook my head, maybe this is the girl's impulse, as long as I ignore her, she will soon forget me. In this hellish place, I don't even know if I can get out alive, and where am I still in the mood to think about these emotional disputes. Ever since the incident of Moyue, I have been insulated from all the female surnames except for the three of them.
Three months later.
I sat on the bed and entered the seal for the last time today, since a month ago, the place where the seal was originally cracked is gradually expanding, and fine cracks have begun to appear in other places, which makes me feel confident, but I am not sure that I have broken through this seal once, so I don't dare to act rashly, because, I know very well that this seal and Tianyun have a spiritual connection, if I rush to impact it, it will definitely attract Tianyun's attention, if I give me a stronger seal, then I don't know what year and month it will take to leave here, so, I have been very careful, waiting for the opportunityγ Now, I can already input the Mad God Dou Qi twelve times a day, and this is also my limit.
What I don't know is how important these three months are to me, and the continuous cultivation every day has made the mad god fighting qi grow rapidly in the oppression, and the mad god fighting qi in the seal has gradually formed a solid state.
At night, I used to walk out of the stone house and walk outside, and since that time when Songxue confessed to me, she still came to me often despite my persuasion, and I hinted to her more than once that it was impossible. But she didn't seem to notice it, and she was still the same.
Tianyun and Li Feng often appear here with me, and Tianyun also found that I was constantly cultivating, and the strange thing is that he didn't stop or check the seal in my body, could it be that he was so confident in the seal he had placed?
The familiar feeling of Mo Ming often came, far and near, sometimes clear and sometimes blurry, and at least three or four times a day, I felt that it was calling me, and it seemed to be getting closer and closer. If it weren't for the unbreakable seal of dark magic, I would have tried to summon it a long time ago.
The village in the night is so quiet, the villagers who have worked hard all day have already fallen asleep, the feeling of tranquility makes me very comfortable, freehand wandering outside, I found that I have been a little accustomed to the life here, every day and the simple people here meet so that I don't have to make too many scheming, because I rescued the Songxue sisters and brothers last time, everyone here has a much better impression of me than when I first came, and I have gradually regarded me as one of them.
"Brother Lei Xiang. A childish call woke me up from my thoughts. It was Song Song's voice, I couldn't help but smile bitterly, Song Song is coming, and Song Xue is also coming, it seems that I really have to make it clear to her, otherwise, if she falls deeper and deeper, she will make me as embarrassed as Crane was at the beginning.
Sure enough, Song Xue appeared in front of me with her younger brother. I smiled and said, "It's so late, haven't you slept yet?"
