Chapter 35: Che Tong Dissipates (2)
The pain in Mu Chengye's chest dissipated a little, and he understood that it was only temporary. Before the Neiyuan Jindan is completely integrated into the body, I am afraid that it will always be unpeaceful.
He slowly walked to Xie Qian's side, sat down cautiously, and observed her expression.
She sat on the ground with her hands on her knees with a blank face, occasionally reaching out to touch the broken jade pendant, and then her eyes flickered slightly.
"Are you really not going to go out?" Mu Chengye couldn't help but ask.
As if he hadn't heard his question, Xie Qian was immersed in his own world, and said in a nasal voice: "In the previous life, he was seriously injured by Qitian's bite, and it dissipated little by little in my arms. He told me that he believed that I had never done anything unseemly. In the entire Three Realms, he was the only one who said this to me. ”
"I know." Mu Chengye answered.
Of course he knew that in his previous life, he had been silently watching and protecting her, and he didn't dare to come out to disturb.
Xie Qian didn't seem to have the slightest doubt, and said to himself: "I sealed the Qitian just to let the people in the fairy world know that I am not the evil person in their mouths. What Brother Chetong believes, I also want to believe in all three realms. ”
It's just that her idea was completely wrong, and instead of eliminating her suspicions, the people in the fairy world took advantage of the fact that she had consumed most of her spiritual power to catch her and throw her into Zhuxiantai.
The flames around her gathered and tore at her soul, and she gave up struggling.
She never wanted this life again.
Mu Chengye looked at her distressedly, and couldn't say a word of comfort. He had seen her desperation, and even blamed himself for not protecting her.
After a while, Xie Qian turned his head, stared at Mu Chengye and said seriously: "Brother Chetong gave you the Neiyuan Jindan, I hope you can protect it well, and it can be regarded as giving me peace of mind, is it okay?" ”
He touched his chest and said in a muffled voice, "This is useless." ”
Instead of increasing his strength, he will jump out from time to time like a curse to make him hurt.
Xie Qian buried his head in his knees in a daze, and tears fell again, and said. He said to himself: "Knowing that his Neiyuan Jindan exists, at least there is hope." ”
Her nasal voice grew thick again, fragile as if it would shatter at the slightest touch.
Mu Chengye felt even more uncomfortable in his heart, thinking that as long as he made Xie Qian happy, he would agree to anything, so he nodded and said, "I will protect this Neiyuan Golden Pill." ”
Xie Qian nodded, falling silent again. She stared at the ceiling with a vacant look in her eyes, trying to empty herself completely.
Mu Chengye knew all about her and Jiang Chetong's past, and she was secretly jealous.
Now that he sees Xie Qian in such a state, he regrets why he didn't be braver, so maybe it wasn't Jiang Chetong who had these stories with her.
Xie Qian touched the broken pendant again, and told about the beginning of his feelings for Jiang Chetong. A heavy snowfall, a bowl of noodles, and a butterfly-shaped pendant swaying around your waist.
Hearing this, Mu Chengye's expression became even more complicated. He opened his mouth, not sure where to start. In the end, he seemed to be a little helpless and said: "You haven't thought about it, maybe some of them are not ......" Jiang Qiu did.
He swallowed the last four words into his stomach, knowing that it was not appropriate to say it now.
Xie Qian leaned back against the wall, her tears seemed to have dried up, and her eyes were red as she sniffed. She clenched her fists and closed her eyes, as if it would make her feel better.
The evil qi that had been silent had accumulated again after a period of time.
Mu Chengye looked at the evil qi of the two of them coming and going, worried that something would happen again. He didn't have the strength to deal with it now, and he wanted to knock her out and take her out.
Turning his head to look at her emotional collapse, she was ruthless and finally didn't go down to the palm, so she could only accompany her quietly and secretly think of a way.
In the past hundred years, the people in the Demon Realm have felt that the Demon Venerable has changed as a person. He used to be hard-hearted about everything, but he was made by a woman to have no temper at all, as if he had fallen into an evil spirit.
"I was really defeated by you." Mu Chengye thought so in his heart, sighed and casually let out a few bamboo leaf butterflies along the gate to investigate.
After observing here for two days, he found that the scene had not changed in any way because the ghost king had been dispersed. He guessed that this place was not attached to the existence of the Ghost King.
Zhu Yedie went out to reconnoiter for an hour and came back one after another, reporting the situation of the entire Kunyu Luo Ze to him. I don't know when, the evil aura condensed here again, which means that there may be a bigger mastermind behind the ghost king.
Among them, the bamboo leaf butterfly also brought back a broken talisman, Mu Chengye observed it carefully for a while, and saw that this was actually a spell unique to the demon world. And according to the residual power above, it is inferred that it is from the hands of the seven princes of the demon world.
He was not surprised that there were traitors in the Demon Realm, after all, they often carried out small actions behind their backs. On weekdays, he turned a blind eye, but now that he hurts Xie Qian, he can't sit idly by.
Glancing at the group of evil spirits probing their brains outside the gate, Mu Chengye understood that this place was not suitable for a long time.
He got up suddenly, squatted in front of Xie Qian, stared at her dull eyes, and said word by word: "Coriander, now we don't have time for you." I will only give you two ways, the first is to go out with me to find a way to save Jiang Qiu in the underworld, and the second is to continue to spend time here and wait for Jiang Qiu to be reincarnated seven days later. ”
Xie Qian was stunned for a while before finally reacting to his words. Her voice was hoarse, and she choked up slightly: "You mean, there is a way to save Brother Chetong?" ”
"I found your spirit in the underworld." Mu Chengye said.
Xie Qian remembered it, thinking that he was going to be reincarnated and forget the past, but he never wanted to be rescued and reborn. In this way, Jiang Chetong can also be reborn.
Thinking of this, she immediately patted her face and cheered up, and said seriously: "Then let's go to the underworld now!" ”
"No." Mu Chengye said expressionlessly, "The spirit will only enter the underworld seven days after death, and the process of reincarnation is also very fast, so it must be found at the moment of entering it. Therefore, it is necessary to find an object containing Jiang Chetong's spiritual power. ”
He is very familiar with this process.
Xie Qian nodded and said lightly: "Listen to you." ”
Mu Chengye didn't feel good in his heart, grabbed Xie Qian's hand and walked along the door. Outside, there was a staircase that went up, and a faint light was cast from above.
The two of them walked upward, Xie Qian felt that each step weighed a thousand pounds, and his two feet seemed to be filled with lead.
Walking to the end of the stairs, the surroundings twisted. In a few moments, they appeared in the alleys of the mortal world.
At this moment, the whole street was illuminated by the sun, and the splendor made her extremely unreal. She looked at the tall figure standing in front of her, and couldn't help but reach out and gently caress his back, as if she could touch the shining golden inner yuan golden pill.
Mu Chengye felt the warmth of her fingers, his cheeks flushed slightly, and he turned his head slightly to look at her.
As if she remembered something, she asked casually, "If you find Brother Chetong, can you take out the Neiyuan Golden Pill?" ”
It will not have any effect if the Neiyuan Jindan is taken out before it is fused in the body, but it will be life-threatening if it is taken again once it is fused.
Mu Chengye roughly calculated and said, "I am a person from the Demon Realm, and it is not easy to fuse with the Inner Yuan Jindan of the Immortals, so if you want to completely fuse, it will take about ten days." ”
"It should be too late to go to Qingqiong cold catkins." Xie Qian seemed to be talking to him, and it seemed to be talking to himself.
She slowly took out a fragment of a jade pendant from her bosom and rubbed it in the palm of her hand. Before she came out, she took it out casually, but now that she reacted, she didn't know why she was doing it.
Mu Chengye took the fragment from her hand, frowned, and said, "Don't ask for this, it's uncomfortable to look at." ”
Seeing that Xie Qian's eyes had been staring at the fragments, he shook his head helplessly, and continued to persuade: "This kind of jade pendant is available in the fox clan, and it is useless to ask for it." With that, he conjured up an identical butterfly jade pendant.
Her fingers poked slightly into the jade pendant, and the cold touch made her can't help but withdraw her hand. She was stunned for a long time before she sighed deeply, and said as if giving up: "Forget it, he shouldn't need this jade pendant anymore." ”
Mu Chengye frowned, turned his hand and turned the jade pendant and the fragments into green smoke.
Xie Qian was full of thoughts about going to Qingqiong Leng Xu to find Jiang Chetong's magic weapon quickly, and pinched the trick to fly in the wind. Unexpectedly, she didn't succeed in reading it a few times, and her body was still a little unstable on her feet.
She hasn't eaten a drop of water for the past few days, and she doesn't have any strength at all.
Mu Chengye immediately spoke: "Take a break and then leave." ”
"There's no time." Xie Qian said anxiously.
Mu Chengye pressed her shoulder, stared at her eyes and said seriously: "It only takes half a day to get from here to Qingqiong Lengsu, and it will take another four days to rush to the underworld." It's better to rest here for a day to recuperate, and then you can have the strength to escape with Jiang Qiu. He almost gritted his teeth at the last sentence.
Probably persuaded by him, Xie Qian agreed.
Mu Chengye breathed a sigh of relief, took her to the largest inn in the local area, and asked for a guest room to rest.
The rooms here are very comfortable, not only have bedrooms and special bathing rooms, but also have living rooms. Under Mu Chengye's instructions, the shopkeeper served many exquisite dishes and prepared water for washing.
Everything was arranged, and Mu Chengye went outside to summon Huarong.
Hua Rong was dressed in a black straight body and knelt on the ground respectfully, and after saluting, he secretly speculated about what difficult task he had.
Who knows, Mu Chengye hesitated for a while, and slowly said, "Help me buy a pink dress." ”
Hua Rong was stunned for a while, thinking that he had heard it wrong, and couldn't help but ask again. It was determined that he wanted to buy a change of dress for Xie Qian, and he had mixed feelings on his face.
After thinking about it for a while, he couldn't help but ask, "Your Excellency, are you sure that the little sect master Xie you are doing now will appreciate it?" ”
"If you don't appreciate it, it's better to coax her to be happy." Mu Chengye also seemed a little tired, and pinched his eyebrows.
Hua Rong frowned, not understanding: "Why pink?" ”
Mu Chengye has always felt that Xie Qian's most suitable color is pink, and when she first met, she looked at herself in the pink coriander bush. It's just that for some reason, after entering the fairy gate, she always wears a black dress, which is completely incompatible like pretending to be deep.
Seeing that Hua Rong was still waiting for his answer, Mu Chengye had to answer coldly: "Because it's good-looking." Then he urged, "Hurry up." ”
“……”
Hua Rong had thousands of horses galloping in his heart, but he said lightly on his face: "Your Excellency, don't be low-key in what you do this time." After saying that, he shook his head and sighed and left.
So, when Xie Qian finished the meal and was about to go to wash, he saw a pink dress hanging next to the bathing barrel.
When she lamented in her heart that the store was really delicate, she accidentally caught a glimpse of a note falling out of her dress, on which a short sentence was written: "Pink is more suitable for you than black." ”
The handwriting is flying and dancing, but with a hint of reserve, it is obviously left by Mu Chengye.
Xie Qian chuckled, always feeling as if he had seen this trace somewhere, but he couldn't remember anything.
