Chapter 35: The Woman Who Told the Story
In the evening, Tianyi came to Yan Xin, ready to retrieve his piece of Tianyan Crystal.
The moonlight is like water, sprinkled on the ground. The breeze blows among the Buddhas, and the leaves rustle. Tianyi and Yan Xin sat side by side in front of the porch, and the faint aroma of wine wafted out from Yan Xin's body, making Tianyi intoxicated.
The two of them sat silently, and no one spoke. I don't know if there was so much to talk about in that tomb, there was nothing to talk about. Or is it because the two have a deep tacit understanding, and they no longer need words between each other to know what each other thinks.
The wind blew softly, gently ruffling the ends of her hair. Yan Xin stretched out her jade-like fingers and tidied them up. Slowly, "There is a story in my hometown!"
Tianyi looked at Yan Xin's cheek and knew that she had something to say. Whispered, "What kind of story is it?"
"There was a young girl in the town, very beautiful, who was very nice to another boy in the town since she was a child. The man took good care of him. The woman's father was a hunter who often went up to the mountains to hunt, and every time he went out, it took him a few days to return. Every time her father went out hunting, he left her alone at home. ”
"What about her mother?" Tianyi interjected.
Yan Xin gave him a blank look, "Dead!" and then continued. Every time his father went out, the boy came to stay with her. At night she was afraid of being alone, so the boy made a bunk in her room. Every time I get sick, it's because I feel a cold. The girl didn't want to go, so she took care of him. After a long time, they gradually developed feelings for each other" Speaking of this, Yan Xin paused. "Until one day, the girl's father went out and never came back. The boy accompanied her up the hill to look for it, but found only her father's hunting bow and some torn clothes. The girl was sad. But at this moment, a large insect suddenly rushed out. The man saw that the two were about to be chased by the big worm, and in order to save the woman, he died there. ”
"What happened later?" asked Tianyi.
"Later...... Then the girl was sad for a long time. Helpless, she wanted to die several times. Later, she married another man. Did you say that the boy who died was stupid?" Yan Xin finished telling the story and looked at Tianyi affectionately, and asked rhetorically.
Tianyi savored the story, and in addition to feeling the blame for his sacrifice to save her, there was also the most obvious affectionate hint. But how can I give her an answer now?
I could only pretend to be stupid and said, "I think that man will be very happy to see that the girl can cheer up and find his other half, and he will be very happy under Jiuquan." ”
Yan Xin didn't expect to get such an answer, so she glanced at him with disgust, "Just what you say!"
The chirping of the golden phoenix bird sounded from afar and flew slowly. Tianyi looked at the familiar big bird and became angry. Yan Xin looked at Tianyi's appearance, and remembered that day when he was played by that big bird, she couldn't help but smile happily.
The golden phoenix bird gradually flew closer, and this time it surprisingly brought a little gift to Tianyi. As he passed by the top of his head, he dropped a flame-attribute hedron and stopped on the roof, combing his feathers.
Tianyi stretched out his hand to take it, it was just a spar with a slightly more aura than ordinary flame crystals, and there was nothing unusual about it. "You dead bird, the spar I fed you that day is much better than this, and you will repay me with this thing?"
Yan Xin couldn't help but laugh when she looked at one person and one bird.
The golden phoenix bird circled and flew up, but it didn't go far, it kept chirping in the air, and it looked at it with contempt.
"It looks like it's asking you to follow him. Yan Xin looked at the big bird for a while and came to such a conclusion.
"I'll show you what treasures you have. Saying that, Tian leaned up and walked away with Yan Xin with the golden phoenix bird.
The speed of the two of them and one bird was extremely fast, and in just over half an hour, they passed through the bamboo forest in the back mountain and came to the foot of a barren mountain. At the foot of the mountain, there are two holes, one large and one small. The small one is less than half a meter high, and it seems that it was dug by the golden phoenix. And the big hole was more than three meters high and nearly two meters wide. And looking like that, I am afraid that it was forcibly opened out of the cave, and there are still a lot of rubble scattered on the ground, and there are some burnt marks on the rubble.
The golden phoenix bird hovered in the air, and it seemed to be a little scared.
"I'm afraid there are spirit beasts guarding it. Yan Xin came to such a conclusion.
"This hole doesn't seem to be deep, I have laid a ban here, if the two of us are defeated, come out immediately, the ban should be able to resist one or two. To be on the safe side, Tianyi suggested.
"It's fine. Yan Xin reluctantly agreed.
Then Tianyi took out some spirit stones from the storage ring, and then put some five elements spirit objects from Yan Xin, and began to arrange them. After about half an hour, the arrangement was finally completed. All kinds of spirit stones, five elements of spiritual objects are embedded into the stone wall piece by piece. A formation diagram links it together, just waiting for the moment when the formation is opened. Tianyi estimated that if it was forbidden to open it, even Jindan Zhenren would be able to resist it for a moment and a half. I nodded in satisfaction. "Let's go!" invited Yan Xin to leave.
After the two entered through the hole, a road went straight down, and the road was potholed, sometimes wide and sometimes narrow. After only five or six meters down, I saw a faint red glow below.
When you walk to the entrance of the cave, you will see a huge mine of flame crystals, stretching for miles. The aura was as thick as mist, and there were no visible objects from a distance of more than ten meters. The roof of the cave is infected with aura like stalactites, and occasionally drips some pale pink liquid onto the ground, giving off a hint of warmth. Look at that thing is the spiritual liquid, only in places where the concentration of spiritual energy is extremely high, and the special environment will be born.
The golden phoenix bird landed on Tianyi's shoulder and kept looking, as if he was afraid that something would suddenly come out, and he was very uneasy. Its nervous mood gradually infected the two of them.
"Don't venture in, check for living creatures nearby. Yan Xin knew that Tianyi's method of detecting the mine was wonderful, and it was Tianyi who brought her out of the phantom array in the catacombs.
Tianyi squatted down, his right hand fell to the ground, and his left hand gently patted the ground. I felt the slightest vibration from the ground, and it didn't look like a living thing within a few dozen meters of it. couldn't help but increase the force, and hit the ground with a cannon punch. A circle of air rippled, and the fist fell heavily to the ground, creating a large crater about a meter in diameter on the ground. A loud bang reverberated through the cavern of the flame crystal. "There are no living creatures within a kilometre of each other. I can't feel it any farther. "Heaven is determined by the way.
The golden phoenix bird was even more uneasy, and kept staring in one direction. Tian leaned in the direction the golden phoenix bird was looking, but felt nothing.
"This golden phoenix bird is extremely sensitive to spiritual objects, and there must be nothing wrong with it!" Yan Xin frowned slightly and said slowly.
The wait in the face of unknown danger was extremely long, and the two of them looked tense and stared at that aspect. About half a pillar of incense passed, and even Tianyi felt a faint vibration coming from that direction. Tianyi felt it, "It's probably a spirit beast of about five levels." "This fifth-level spirit beast is almost equivalent to the cultivation of the early stage of the Middle Earth Monk Jade Mansion.
"It looks like it's about the same as my cultivation. Yan Xin's words revealed a trace of confidence.
"Prepare for battle, it's almost there. Tianyi felt the spirit beast getting closer and closer.
Not long after he finished speaking, he saw a pillar of fire shoot towards the two of them. The two hurriedly moved away. Before they saw the spirit beast, the opponent's attack had already arrived, making the two feel tied down in battle.
"Go outside!" Yan Xin commanded with a frown.
Immediately, the two ran out of the cave, and as soon as Tianyi arrived at the entrance of the cave, he felt that something was flying rapidly behind him. Tianyi hurriedly turned around and saw that what was flying over was an ordinary flame crystal. Immediately, the dense red formation pattern on the left arm lit up, and the place on the arm that was not covered by the formation pattern was pitch black, making the whole arm look like magma. A cannon punch was struck, and ripples of air rippled around the arm, causing a hurricane. As soon as the flame spar came into contact with Tianyi's fist, it burst open, blasting Tianyi directly out of the cave.
