Chapter 23: The Underground Castle
The nine-tailed fox carried me and Yu Jing all the way wildly, during which Yu Jing spit blood many times, I don't know if it was the internal injury of the body or the death of Xiao Xiangzi stimulated him too much, I had heard Yu Jing say, he had no father and mother since he was a child, and lived by begging, until he was 18 years old, the Sword Demon Sect recruited talented disciples to the outside world, so Yu Jing went to sign up, that day, there was a long queue in front of the Sword Demon Sect, Yu Jing waited for most of the day under the scorching sun, during which there was still a queue, and it was finally the turn of Yu Jing, but the examiner in charge of recruiting people said that this year's people were full, and they would come again next year, so everyone was very disappointed and dispersed, and Yu Jing wanted to go with the crowdAt this time, an old man with fairy wind and bones stopped him, and this person was Xiao Xiangzi.
After entering the Sword Demon Sect, the brothers and sisters rejected him and bullied him, only Xiao Xiangzi loved him in every way, and often took him to his room to explain martial arts, and at night, he also taught him to practice swords in the courtyard, the reason why the Sword Demon Sect is called the Sword Demon Sect is because he is good at swordsmanship, in addition, there is also a powerful alchemy technique, as the name suggests, soul refining is demon cultivation, and the name of the Sword Demon Sect also comes from this, until one night, when Xiaoxiang taught him to connect the sword, he was discovered by the great elder, the Sword Demon Sect has rules, and the elders cannot teach martial arts to the named disciples, because Xiao Xiangzi is the second elder of the Sword Demon Sect, so he cannot teach martial arts to juniorsγ
The great elder made this matter clear to the sect master, and the sect master couldn't bear to punish Xiao Xiangzi, but Xiao Xiangzi's opponent took the opportunity to fan the flames, Xiao Xiangzi withdrew from the Sword Demon Sect in a fit of anger, and since then he has taken his daughter and Yu Jing to live in seclusion in the Broken Intestines, as for Xiao Xiangzi and Yu Realm, I don't know this yet, I think only when the Yu Realm is injured and the mood calms down, and then slowly ask, now the top priority is to rush to the Broken Intestines as soon as possible, Xu Qinghuan and Xiao Xiang Ke'er are still there, once Mo Laosan and others are killed, they are more than lucky.
Fortunately, before we arrived, Mo Laosan and the others did not kill, think about it, the speed of the nine-tailed fox, they can't catch up, I carried Yujing into the house, Xu Qinghuan and Xiaoxiang Ke'er immediately came out to greet them.
"What's wrong with Yu Realm?" Xiao Xiang Ke'er had a worried look on her face, obviously attaching great importance to Yu Realm's safety. I put Yu Jing down and said, "It's a long story, I can't stay here, come with me." β
Xu Qinghuan still had to pack up his baggage, but I stopped him, one more minute of stay now, the more dangerous it would be, and the most important thing was that Yu Jing was still in a coma, I let Xu Qinghuan and Xiaoxiang Keer ride the nine-tailed fox, and I carried Yu Jing and Xu Lin to follow closely behind, under the leadership of the nine-tailed fox, I walked towards the valley, because I couldn't keep up with the speed of the feather realm, so the nine-tailed fox stopped and stopped, and it took half a day to stop in front of a hill.
I put down my feather realm and sat on the ground gasping for breath, Xu Qinghuan came over and gently wiped the sweat from my forehead with my sleeve, and the nine-tailed fox turned back into the appearance of a young woman and said: "Childe, this is it, you can heal here for the time being, ordinary people can't find here." β
Xu Qinghuan and Xiaoxiang Ke'er saw that the fox suddenly turned into a human, and the two of them turned pale with fright, I told the two that the nine-tailed fox was here to help us, and the two women sighed. Sometimes it is more terrible than demons and monsters, the nine-tailed fox crossed in front of the hill, as if looking for something, after a while, the hill slowly opened from the middle, it turned out to be a mechanism, I couldn't help but sigh at the wisdom of the ancients.
Entering the cave, the door slowly closed, and several people fell into darkness, only the eyes of the nine-tailed fox radiated cyan light, and at this moment I suddenly thought that the nine-tailed fox would not harm us, and it would not be a trick for us to come here to make him supper.
It turned out that I was too careful, and I don't blame me, anyone who has experienced betrayal again and again will have a heart of defense, to say no, that is a fool, as the saying goes: the heart of defense is indispensable.
The nine-tailed fox, now it should be called a woman, because it has changed into a human body, the woman groped on the wall for a while, and suddenly the cave lit up, countless flames burned on the wall, I don't know what kind of material the lamp is made of, the red flame is like a butterfly flying in the wind, it is particularly gorgeous. The ancients were really very clever! To be able to build such a ghostly cave, under the leadership of the woman, we walked towards the cave, the more we went in, the wider it became, and the closer it was to the ground, along the way, the lights were bright, and the shadows of several people dragged on the wall for a long time.
Finally, at the end of the cave, a villa-like castle is presented, the space inside the cave is as much as 5,000 square meters, the castle is about three feet high, there are three floors, each floor has a wide balcony, of course, I don't think it is possible to bask in the sun here. The inside of the castle is bigger than I imagined, and it is also a lamp, what makes me puzzled is that the lamp is smokeless, it is controlled by a mechanism, so what is its principle, I think this question will be asked by the nine-tailed fox later, I put the feather realm on a large stone bed, the nine-tailed fox took out some bottles and jars from the room, and opened the inside full of unknown pills.
After the woman gave Yu Jing three black pills and two white pills, the nine-tailed fox said: "This is a life-sustaining pill, which is difficult to refine, and is usually used to renew the life of people who are about to die, but it should be caused by the fire and attack the heart, and there are only these pills at the moment, and I will go below tomorrow to see if there is any elixir." β
Is there still space below: "Thank you Fox Fairy! I don't know what Fox Fairy just said, what is the place below?" I asked, clenching my fists.
"Childe, don't call me a fox fairy, just call me a white fox, below is the place where the aura gathers, purgatory, usually there will be a lot of powerful creatures guarding elixirs on the lower layer, so I rarely go down, and there is another layer below, I have never gone down. The white fox said.
"Well, White Fox Girl, don't call me Gongzi, my name is Li Yunfei. β
"Brother Yujing has woken up. Xu Qinghuan said excitedly.
Yu Jing slowly opened his eyes: "What kind of place is this? Master! I'm going to save Master!"
Yu Jing turned over and got out of bed, because his body was too weak, he sat on the ground and slumped, still struggling to get up, I was busy helping him to the bed, but he struggled hard, tears had slipped down his cheeks, I knew that I couldn't let him be too sad at the moment, that would probably cause a psychological shadow, so I raised my palm and slapped him hard, this time it was really hard, and my hands were a little numb.
Xiaoxiang Ke'er roared angrily: "What are you hitting him for!"
I thought to myself, don't you hit him, look at him like that, he can't withstand a little blow, wait a minute, you know if you will be like him, I am ready to give Xiaoxiang Ke'er a slap, Yu Jing calmed down a lot after my slap, I pressed his shoulders with both hands and said word by word: "Yu Jing, you are sober, your master is dead, you can't fall, live well, avenge your master." β
After speaking, I looked at Xiaoxiang Keer, ready to slap her or knock her out at any time, unexpectedly, Xiaoxiang Keer was unusually calm, and she didn't cry, but she turned around silently and walked out, I know that she must be very uncomfortable at the moment, when a person is extremely sad, maybe tears will only flow in her heart.
Three days later, Yujing's injuries have basically recovered, these three days, Xiaoxiang Keer has not dripped, people have lost a lot of weight, I see in my eyes, but also sad for her, but what can I do, I can only hope that Yujing can enlighten her, Yujing heard that Xiaoxiang Keer did not eat or drink for a few days, and ran out of the body without wearing shoes, the reason why he did not tell Yujing was that he was afraid of affecting the speed of his recovery.
Yu Jing walked to Xiaoxiang Ke'er's door with difficulty and knocked a few times: "Ke'er, it's me, open the door." β
Xiaoxiang Ke'er slowly opened the door, inside the room, was a haggard woman, the deep-set black eyes, like a resentful old woman, the beautiful face of the past, just three days, has been haggard to such a point, Yujing hugged Xiaoxiang Ke'er tightly in his arms, sobbing and said: "Ke'er, why do you want to torture yourself like this, the master is no longer there, you can't have any more accidents!"
Xiaoxiang Ke'er said expressionlessly: "I'm going to purgatory." β
Yu Jing put his hands on Xiaoxiang Ke'er's shoulders and asked noncommittally: "Ke'er, are you really going?" Xiaoxiang Ke'er didn't say anything, just nodded silently.
"Okay, you're going, I'll accompany you. Yu Jing said categorically.
"What? you're going to purgatory?" I walked around the corner of the hallway.
To be honest, I didn't come to eavesdrop, I just happened to pass by, and Yujing and Xiaoxiang Ke'er replied in unison: "Hmm." β
This matter is important and needs to be considered in the long run, so I comforted the two of them and said, "Okay, you have decided to go, I will accompany you, but you must take care of your body first! Yu Jing cast a grateful gaze: "Yunfei, good brother." β
I smiled in understanding, and it was all in plain sight, and at night, when everyone was asleep, I heard movement outside, and a man quietly got out of bed, and by the light I saw a behemoth in the large pool in front of the castle peeking out of the water.
