It has been half an hour since Li Xuantian came to his senses.
His mind was still groggy, as if there was a big mess of paste.
He couldn't remember how he had ended up beside a stream where the ice had just disappeared, and the last thing he remembered was the words he saw the peach petals in the air, and the unknown potion that suddenly came into his mouth.
He walked blankly through the wilderness, and although it would have been much slower, he had no choice to fly. Fang Cai's encounter made him feel uneasy, and the situation was unknown at the moment, and it didn't seem to be a wise choice to fly into the sky rashly.
Li Xuantian once again put his hand into his sleeve, this was the third time he had done this, and he breathed a sigh of relief, the spirit peach was still there.
For him, the immediate priority now was to find a place that was absolutely secret and safe, so that he could have time to carefully study the spirit peach in his hand. He believed that as long as he was given enough time, he would definitely be able to unlock the mystery of the spirit peach, and then absorb the feather aura in it and feather to ascend to the immortal.
At that time, he will definitely open his own sect, spread his Taoism, and become an immortal admired by the world. As for Si Xu, Liu Wen and the others who were competing with themselves before, after they became immortals, they were just mortals, what difference did it make between killing and not killing? After all, they can't escape the passage of time, and they will be born, old, sick and die, no different from all living beings in heaven and earth.
Maybe this is the pattern and strength that an immortal should have, Li Xuantian couldn't help but sigh secretly, although he had not ascended to the immortal, but the realm of thought and the threshold of touching the immortal.
Li Xuantian walked aimlessly for a long time, and suddenly he saw a woman walking slowly towards him not far away.
When friends and foes were unknown, Li Xuantian hid behind a stout tree nearby and watched. When the woman got closer, he realized that it was the girl who was following her.
"Looks like it's called a demon?" Li Xuantian said secretly in his heart.
"Why is she here, is she here to find me?" Li Xuantian was taken aback, "So they have already found out that the real spirit peach has been taken away by me." ”
As soon as he thought of this, Li Xuantian hid his breath, and quietly took advantage of the cover of the tree trunk to retreat towards the dark place.
Li Xuantian retreated into a dense bush, and just as he breathed a sigh of relief, he suddenly put a hand on his shoulder. At that moment, his heart instantly sank to the bottom, and he slowly turned his head and saw the demon with a blank face.
"Why are you here?" Li Xuantian exclaimed. "You know me?" The demon asked with a blank expression
"Nature." Li Xuantian said, "Didn't you come to me?"
"Looking for you?" The demon was confused, "Why are you looking for you, are you a bad person?"
Li Xuantian was already in turmoil, and he was even more anxious when he was asked by the demon, he pointed to the missing tooth in his mouth and said: "Are they coveting heavy treasures, slaughtering me all over the door, or beating me to serious injury." ”
"If you want to talk about bad people, who else is worse than them?"
Looking at the demon's painful expression, Li Xuantian gradually calmed down, and a bold thought suddenly occurred in his heart, the woman in front of him might have lost her memory?
Thinking of his own experience, Li Xuantian was even more convinced of his thoughts, and he tentatively stretched out his hand to support the demon who was unstable due to a headache, but the other party did not refuse.
So Li Xuantian helped the demon to sit down against a thick tree trunk, and Li Xuantian said, "Do you remember Jian Jia?"
"Pu Jia?" The corners of the demon's mouth unconsciously raised slightly, "Of course I know, it's a plant." ”
An imperceptible smile flashed in Li Xuantian's eyes, and he continued to ask, "Then do you remember Mu Yu?"
"Mu Yu ....." The demon frowned, and thought for a moment and said, "A very nice name, it makes people think of Mo Shangren like jade, and the gentleman is unparalleled in the world." When he said this, a vague picture suddenly flashed in the demon's mind, under a blooming peach tree, a man with a peach blossom face was reading a poem.
"The Mo master is like jade, and the gentleman is unparalleled in the world." The man smiled softly and said softly, "Demon, this poem describes a man as gentle as jade, and is often used to praise his sweetheart. ”
"That demon hopes, my future sweetheart, is also a man like jade."
At the thought of this, the demon's head hurt even more, and she closed her eyes in some pain, trying to relieve the headache.
"I just thought the name was familiar, but I couldn't remember who he was." The demon said with some pain.
Li Xuantian finally confirmed that the demon had indeed lost his memory, and as for what the reason was, he guessed that it must be related to what happened to him before. None of that mattered, though, what mattered was how he could use her to open up the situation.
The demon's head still hurt terribly, and even worse, despite her efforts not to think, there were more and more blurry images flashing through her mind, and she saw many scenes and people, but she couldn't see them as if she were looking at flowers in the fog.
Only the man with a peach blossom face broke into her mind again and again, but it became clearer and clearer each time, as if it was going to be engraved in her mind.
Since you can't stop these memory fragments from coming, it's better to accept it calmly. The demon endured the pain of pins and needles, and carefully watched these vague fragments, and she saw a stately decorated dormitory, and a peerless woman sat on a chair made of golden silk nanmu with a simple bronze mirror in her hand.
She kept her head down, staring intently at the bronze mirror. To the demon's surprise, it was not a woman's face in the bronze mirror, but a battlefield of flesh and blood, with corpses piling up like mountains and rivers of blood that made the demon a little disgusted for a while, but in the next moment, the whole picture burst like a blister, replaced by another memory fragment.
This is a tall building shrouded in starlight, the woman stands on the pavilion with her feet in the streamer, and in front of her, there is a chessboard full of chess pieces, black and white, each in a strange way. The woman watched the game intently, as if she had realized something. Suddenly, a meteor crossed the sky, and the starlight from the tail illuminated a corner of the chessboard, and the woman's eyes looked at it, and suddenly her face showed shock, and she murmured: "It is worthy of being a painter, and the art of deduction and divination is so peak......"
Before the woman's voice fell, the picture shattered again, this time the demon appeared on the top of a mountain.
Through the layers of mist, she saw that the peerless woman was standing with the handsome man she had seen first, and they seemed to be saying something, but unfortunately she was too far away to hear anything.
Just as the demon was about to step forward to eavesdrop, a thunderclap suddenly exploded in her head, which immediately made her eyes flutter with gold stars and dizziness and tinnitus. The demon struggled to open his eyes, and saw that the man who had just kept asking him questions was squinting and smiling at him.
This made the demon uncomfortable, and he was inexplicably disgusted with him.
"What do you want to do?" The demon asked angrily.
Li Xuantian smiled slightly and said gently: "Don't be afraid, I am your master." ”
"I don't believe it." The demon said without hesitation.
Li Xuantian was not in a hurry, and continued patiently: "My name is Li Xuantian, and I am the head of the Vientiane Gate, and your name is Demon Demon, and you are my true disciple. ”
"I still don't believe it, unless you can come up with proof." The demon said directly.
Li Xuantian seemed to have expected the demon to say this, but he took out a small wooden box from his sleeve without hurrying, handed it to the demon and said: "This magic weapon is called a photo box, which can record what happened in the past, if you don't believe that I am your master, open it and take a look." ”
The demon took the box suspiciously, and the moment she opened the box, a black bug flew out directly, and without waiting for the demon to react, it crawled in along her nostrils.
The demon's expression became wooden again, and she respectfully saluted Li Xuantian and said softly, "I've seen Master." ”
Li Xuantian nodded with satisfaction, whispered something in the demon's ear, and the demon's expression gradually changed from wooden to alert.
"Have you memorized what the master told you?" Li Xuantian asked after getting up.
"I remember." The demon nodded firmly.
"Very well, just do what Master tells you. Don't believe anyone else's words. Li Xuantian admonished.
"Yes, Master."
Just when Pu Jia and his party were as anxious as ants on a hot pot because they couldn't find the demon, the demon came back by himself.
"Youqi, where did you go? Are there any injuries?" Mu Yu rushed to the demon in the blink of an eye, looking up and down.
"Of course not, Muyu." Demon Dao.
Mu Yu was slightly stunned, stretched out his hand and shook it in front of the demon and said, "Is it really okay?"
The demon smiled slightly, and asked rhetorically, "Mu Yu, do you wish I had something?"
"Of course not." Mu Yu waved his hand again and again, "I just think you're weird." ”
At this moment, Pu Jia stepped forward, patted Mu Yu's shoulder gently, and said, "You're just too nervous, but now it's okay, Demon Demon Ping."
Ann has returned. ”
Mu Yu nodded, sighed with some self-reproach, and said to Pu Jia: "Thank you, if you are a demon ....."
He didn't continue to speak, let alone continue to think about it, Pu Jia smiled at Mu Yu as if encouraging, at this moment the two no longer looked like rivals in love but more like tacit old friends.
"Pu Jia, I'm worried about you." Demon Dao.
"Youqi, it's great that you're back safely." Without waiting for Pu Jia to speak, Chen Siruo had already run forward, grabbed the demon's hand, and continued with a little apology, "It's all my fault, you have to pester Brother Mu Yu and me to find that Li Xuantian's trouble, if you want to blame, blame me, don't blame Brother Mu Yu." ”
The demon smiled slightly: "I just felt a little bored and went out for a walk, but I didn't expect to get lost." Luckily, I've finally found it, so you don't have to blame yourself.
"Really?" Chen Siruo looked at the demon with tears in his eyes, "Demon demon, you are really good." ”
"Master Pujia, now that your friend has returned safely, shouldn't we continue to look for Li Xuantian?" Hua Tang stepped forward and asked impatiently.
"Of course, but before that, I still have a doubt in my heart that needs to be answered by Master Hua." Pu Jia Road.
"Excuse me, head of Pujia." Hua Tang Road
Pu Jia looked at the people around her, and said with a little embarrassment: "This matter is relatively private, so can you ask Master Hua to move, and we can go to a secluded place to talk?"
"Of course, please head Pujia."
"Master Hua, please."
The two walked to the side, and Pu Jia asked in a low voice, "Master Hua, can the medicinal effect of Yi Linglu weaken over time?" This is natural, as is the case with any elixir, so it would be better to take it as soon as possible. ”
"Then if there is a demon beast that accidentally eats the ancient Yilinglu, is it possible for her memory to be restored?" Kanejia continued to ask.
Hua Tang touched his chin and thought for a moment, and said slowly: "It's not that there is no such possibility, the specific effect of the medicine still varies from person to person..... It varies from demon to demon. ”
"So, it's possible to recover your memory?"
Hua Tang nodded and agreed with Pu Jia's statement.
Pu Jia let out a long sigh of relief, and after thanking Hua Tang, the two turned back.
"Mu Yu, can you still remember which stream you threw Li Xuantian at earlier?" Pu Jia asked.
Mu Yu said: "Of course I remember, the master will take you over." ”
At this moment, the demon suddenly interjected: "I know where Li Xuantian is, you come with me." ”
As soon as these words came out, everyone's spirits were lifted, and Hua Tang was even more overjoyed and asked, "Really, where is he?"
The demon groaned, "When I was lost before, I saw him, so I followed him for some distance and saw him go south. ”
As he spoke, the demon raised his hand and pointed in the direction of Jiangzhou City.
"You mean, he turned back again?" Hua Tang couldn't believe it.
"The Buddha is merciful, as the saying goes, the most dangerous place is the safest place, maybe Master Li really thinks so." The Zen master looked forward to the Buddha beads and said.
"Good boy, he wants to play with us." Hua Tang slapped his head and immediately said, "Let's rush back and kill him by surprise." ”
So, the group set off again and flew quickly in the direction of Jiangzhou City.
On the way, Mu Yu still came to the demon with some anxiety, and asked with some worry: "Demon demon, what is wrong with your body now?"
"Why do you ask?" The demon wondered.
Mu Yu was embarrassed to say it directly, so he could only point to his head in a roundabout way and ask, "Do you feel that you seem to have forgotten something?"
Love?"
The demon thought for a moment, nodded and said, "Indeed, there are many things that I can't remember. ”
"Huh?" Mu Yu's hand holding the peach wood was unsteady for a while, and the whole person shook in the air.
"Do you remember a lot of things?" Mu Yu eagerly asked, "For example, what are the things?"
The demon rubbed the dream bead in his hand and said, "For example, I don't remember how it came about." ”
Mu Yu saw that the demon was talking about the dream bead in his hand, and the worry in his heart was even worse, he grabbed the demon demon's arm and asked softly, "Do you remember how to use it?"
The demon nodded: "I can't tell why, but the moment I took it out, I knew how to use it, as if these techniques were engraved in my bones." ”
