Chapter 154: The Girl in the Firelight
The temple of Shoushan was terrifyingly quiet.
The sword edge reached her neck, Mu Shijing's back was cold, although she didn't have time to draw the sword in the future, her hand was already on the death certificate, the death certificate was full of killing intent, and it contained prestige, once it was pulled out, it was possible to reverse the attack and defense, but this cold idea of drawing the sword and killing people was easily cut off by these few snow threads.
"You are ......," Mu Shijing said softly.
Although the black robe in front of him was wide, it also vaguely outlined the outline of the girl, and Mu Shijing confirmed the identity of the other party without thinking.
"Answer me."
The girl opened her mouth coldly, and the sword was pushed forward a little, and Mu Shijing's fair skin was about to be cut at any time.
"You're His Royal Highness the Mandate of Heaven of the Demon Tower, aren't you?" Mu Shijing immediately spoke, revealing his identity, "I am the person who slashed the evil division of the Divine Mountain, and we already know about the Demon Evil Tower, so I am here to investigate this matter." ”
Mu Shijing said calmly, and in order to show her sincerity, she removed her hand from the death certificate.
Although Xiao He was holding his neck with a sword when they met for the first time, Mu Shijing was inevitably unwilling, but she was a person who knew the general situation, and she would not engage in a senseless battle of will at such a time.
"Cloud Sky Mountain?"
The girl showed a surprised look, she stayed in Yunkong Mountain for a while, and recognized it at a glance, plus the girl in front of her did not have a demonic aura, her guard was also lowered a lot.
"Hmm." Mu Shijing nodded.
The girl raised her head slightly, her kitten-like gaze looked up through the edge of the black robe, she looked at it carefully for a while, then withdrew the death certificate, took half a step back, and said softly: "It turned out to be the fairy of the sacred mountain...... Thank you fairy for the rescue. ”
When the girl looked at her, Mu Shijing also saw her face clearly at the same time.
It was a porcelain white delicate little face, weak white from injury, her eyes were pale like a hazy mist, as if to keep her awake, The girl bit a few strands of snow-white hair, and red tooth marks could be seen on her thin lips.
When Mu Shijing saw her for the first time, his thoughts were empty, only I felt pity, no need to ask, the girl in front of me must be Wu Youhe.
"What did you just call me?" Mu Shijing immediately asked.
"Immortal...... Child? Xiao He didn't know what he said wrong.
"It's too much to call a fairy, Chu Yingchan, Bai Zhu are all your friends? I'm kind of familiar with them, I'm older than you, you can just call me sister. Mu Shijing said with a calm face, It sounds very logical.
"Huh?"
"Miss Xiaohe doesn't have to be restrained." Mu Shijing said gently.
"Sister...... Sister? ”
Xiao He was still a little confused, but when she heard the names of Bai Zhu and Chu Yingchan from Mu Shijing's mouth, she couldn't help but feel more relieved, and the word 'sister' went out casually.
"Well, that's polite." When Mu Shijing heard this, he smiled and said, "I was still looking for you in the mountains, but I didn't expect to meet my sister here, what a coincidence." ”
"They say the most dangerous place is also the safest place, and I have nowhere to go, so I came here, huh...... It's a coincidence. Xiao He said softly.
The other party went deep into such a dangerous place to rescue her, Xiao He's heart was moved, and since she put away the rude willfulness when facing Lin Shouxi, she seemed to be knowledgeable and polite, She also put her hand on her waist, and gave a salute to show her gratitude.
"Good work." Mu Shijing felt pity in his heart, and immediately said, "Tell my sister about your situation here." ”
"Okay."
Xiao He had an extra sister out of thin air, although she felt that something was wrong, but she couldn't argue, she leaned on the pilaster behind her, put away her sword, took off her hood, and revealed a beautiful and moving face.
She was about to speak, but she coughed up while holding her chest, her petite body trembled, Mu Shijing's expression was shocked, and she immediately supported her body, she touched the clothes between her robes, and when she withdrew her hand, she saw that her fingers were covered with blood.
"Why are you so badly injured?" Mu Shijing was taken aback.
Xiao He leaned against the pilaster, and couldn't explain anything, just kept coughing, the endless pursuit of the past few days had exhausted her strength, the enemy seemed to have eyes to peep at the tracks, she would be found wherever she hid, she didn't know how long she hadn't closed her eyes, and the physical injuries and mental fatigue almost dragged her down.
The black robe was untied, and the smell of blood pierced into her nose uncontrollably, Mu Shijing looked at the sword wound on her waist, her pupils trembled, and she was shocked and glad that she had arrived in time, if she delayed for another night, Lin Shouxi would probably be widowed.
"Don't worry, my sister will heal you."
Mu Shijing helped her sit on the ground, and asked her not to move, she had already prepared, and when she left Yunkong Mountain, she looted a lot of elixirs from the mountain gate, she took out a few bottles at will, dialed the soft race, let Xiao He open her mouth, and carefully fed her.
Xiao He was wrapped in a bloody black robe, lying on her back, her cheeks slightly sideways, her eyes were half-open, her body was obviously hot as if she was feverish, but she looked like she was very cold, constantly shivering.
After learning that the person who came was an immortal from Yunkong Mountain, her heartstrings, which had been tense for several days, were finally relaxed, and if it weren't for biting her teeth and biting the tip of her tongue to stay awake, she would have almost fallen asleep directly.
"Open your mouth."
Mu Shijing pinched her jaw and lifted it a little.
Xiao He heard the order, his mouth opened slightly, and the fine white hair fell from between his lips, and then, the thick liquid flowed in, Xiao He's throat moved slightly, and she drank it, feeling that the taste was strange, and then, she heard the fairy sister sigh, and said apologetically: "It's over, this seems to be an external ......."
“……”
Xiao He closed her lips, not only did she blame her, but also helped her explain, "It's okay, it's too dark here, I can't see clearly...... Inevitably, cough cough cough ......"
The girl covered her chest and coughed even harder.
Mu Shijing hurriedly poured some water into Xiao He and rinsed her mouth, and took out the correct pill for her to take, fortunately, Xiao He's body and blood are not bad, so the wrong use of the medicine did not cause too much effect, after she took a few pills, her complexion improved significantly.
The elixir was also too exquisite, Mu Shijing saw that her body temperature had dropped, and immediately stopped, without feeding more, she crossed her slender legs and sat upright, intending to heal Xiao He's internal injuries.
Suddenly, a light came on outside the window.
……
Outside the house, which was originally dead and silent, the firelight suddenly rose, and they collided together like a torrent of hustle and bustle, setting off a murderous wave.
Mu Shijing quickly came to the window, opened the first window, and looked down.
The fire downstairs was a sea of fire, shaking her eyes painfully, and in front of the light, the burly demon would be wearing armor and holding a spear, and his eyes would shoot straight into the tall building like electricity.
"What's wrong?" Xiao He turned his face sideways and asked.
"We are in ambush." Mu Shijing said solemnly.
This time it's a real ambush.
The gathering of demon soldiers and demon generals was almost only instantaneous, even if her perception was as keen as her, she could not react prematurely, which showed that the other party had premeditated......
In an instant, Mu Shijing also figured out why he came all the way so smoothly - this was clearly the enemy's trap to invite you into the urn!
Yes, the black star of this demon tower is hanging high, and all demons are gathered, how can she act recklessly in a golden realm? She seemed to have divine help, but in fact she was just walking in the trap they had preset.
It's too late to understand this.
Behind this building is the main mountain range of the Demon Tower, which is more than a thousand zhang high, and the section is smooth, and the flying eagle feels dizzy when he sees it, and the front has been surrounded by the demon soldiers and demon generals in three layers and three layers outside, let her magic power be vast, how can she break through this demon wall?
The demon soldiers and demon generals of the Demon Demon Tower were not powerful, but after the purple-black stars rose from the ground, their bodies were all infused with demonic power, and they were all incomparably strong.
"Don't worry, although the master is out in a hurry, the senior brothers and sisters of Shenshan are already on the way, and when they arrive, we will definitely be fine." Mu Shijing lied and tried to stabilize her.
Xiao He nodded, and he didn't know if he really believed it.
The window closes.
The fire shook like a devil, and the danger was temporarily shut out of the window.
"It's me who they're going to arrest, you can find a way to escape." Xiao He said.
"Don't talk about that now." Mu Shijing interrupted her and directly began to tear the black robe on her cover.
"You...... What is my sister going to do? Xiao He didn't struggle, but when the black robe touched the wound, it would cause pain.
The black robe on the outer cover was torn off, and Mu Shijing directly draped the bloody robe on herself, she was taller and taller, so this robe was too big for Xiao He to be just right for her.
At the same time, Mu Shijing threw her faded white dress to her and asked her to tear it into strips of cloth at will and bandage her wounds.
"The enemy is likely to have been brought in by me, and I will go and lure them away." Mu Shijing said succinctly.
Mu Shijing was not wrong, the enemy was indeed attracted by her.
After she infiltrated the Demon Tower, she was soon discovered by the secret agents, which attracted attention, and the demon general thought that she was Xiao He in disguise, so he did not startle the snake, and let her go all the way in, until she came to the temple of guarding the mountain where the dossier was stored.
Xiao He's eyebrows showed a look of struggle, of course she couldn't watch her benefactor put herself in danger.
But before she could get up, Mu Shijing leaned over and pressed her shoulder.
"Don't worry, I have a plan in mind." Mu Shijing's words were steady, as if he was an experienced doctor, "You first bandage the wound, this purple bottle is applied externally, and when wrapped, it is smeared on the cloth strip, and the inside of this white bottle is eaten two by two, this is water, if it is dry and difficult to swallow, you can take it for a while." ”
After the instructions, Mu Shijing got up and said coldly: "There are not many people outside, I'll go and lure those shrimp soldiers and crabs away, and when I come back, I will check your medication and be obedient, otherwise my sister will beat you." ”
"Ah...... Well. ”
Xiao He listened to this elder-like tone, and she didn't have the strength to speak, she answered softly, and when she raised her head, she saw Mu Shijing wearing a black robe, standing in the shadow of the fire by the window.
Mu Shijing's expression was cold and stunningly beautiful, and the faint firelight fell on her graceful silhouette, like a cloud of smoke covered by a blade.
Xiao He suddenly remembered the scene when the Divine Domain collapsed, Lin Shouxi stood in the dusk and gradually drifted away, and an ominous premonition came to her heart, she wanted to stop this benefactor sister who had just met for the first time, but before she could speak, Mu Shijing had spread her wings like a black bird, jumped down, and disappeared in an instant, and the screams of the demon soldiers and demon generals rose to the sky, and it was swept into the house by the night wind, blowing the dossier and flying wildly.
……
Xiao He didn't know what was happening outside, but she quickly calmed down, listened to her benefactor's words, and began to heal her wounds.
She didn't have the energy to use the spiritual root, so she directly tore off a ball of white cloth, crumpled the cloth with the fragrance of a girl, and stuffed it into her mouth to prevent it from making a sound when it hurt.
She lifted her clothes, found the most serious part of the wound, applied the medicine to the strip of cloth, slowly wrapped it around the wound, wrapped it several times, and slowly tied the knot.
The sound of fighting outside the building was far and near, Xiao He's hands dealing with the wound were full of blood, although these medicines were wonderful, but when they touched the wound, they only brought pain in a short time, Xiao He was so painful that she convulsed, she bit the cotton ball in her mouth, and the corners of her forehead were full of sweat.
In the severe pain, she remembered the previous conversation with her benefactor's sister, and she suddenly had the illusion that the other party had known her for a long time.
yes, haven't asked her name yet......
Xiao He leaned against the pilaster, her poignant face hidden in the shadows, she trembled and stretched out her hand, took out the white cloth that was almost chewed in her mouth, and threw it aside, gasping slightly.
The change of the Demon Evil Tower was too sudden, she was still in retreat in the cave at that time, and the demon wind outside was dark without warning, and in the blink of an eye, the demon generals who originally called her His Highness seemed to have fallen into an evil spirit, their eyes were all flowing with pure white light, and the guns and halberds in their hands were all pointed at her without exception.
She desperately escaped from the pursuit of the demon mountain and the demon sea, she was seriously injured, she was not afraid of death, but she didn't want to die either, she was a person who kept her promises, and she still had unfulfilled promises...... and aunt's, and Lin Shouxi's, and now there is another benefactor sister.
Xiao He endured the pain, took out the medicine bottle, and began to swallow.
The shouting and killing outside suddenly became quieter, and the demon soldiers and demon generals seemed to have really been lured away.
But this benefactor sister doesn't seem to be in the fairy realm yet, how did she jump over the sea of demon soldiers?
By the way, she is a disciple of Yunkong Mountain, and she also knows Chu Yingchan, but she has been in Yunkong Mountain for so long, why haven't I seen her, and I haven't heard Chu Yingchan talk about her, such a peerless face should have moved the world a long time ago, but ......
Xiao He was confused, but he didn't doubt her because of this, after all, what she said to herself at the end was indeed quite immortal.
Thoughts are confused, like a patchwork painting.
Little by little, the power of the medicine seeped into her body, but it relieved her trembling, but before she could get up and push the window to inquire about the situation, in her ears, the sound of horses' hooves sounded from far and near, and it beat the ground rhythmically, matching the beating of her heart, making the girl tense her heartstrings again.
Then she heard the sound of windows being opened, along with the barking of hounds.
There's a youkai coming!
The youkai led the hound and searched the building, and the windows were being opened one by one. The place is filled with the smell of medicine and blood, and there is no reason not to be spotted by the hounds.
If in her heyday, the demon generals of the Demon Demon Tower fought against her, none of them were her opponents, but now that she has not recovered from her serious injuries, how can she meet the enemy?
Before I had time to think about it, the sound of hooves had reached the door.
The sound of the window opening sounded.
What followed was not the barking of the hounds, but a dead silence.
Xiao He didn't have the ability to block the smell, but he could block the barking of the hounds, which barked wildly at the house, but couldn't make a sound.
This trick briefly deceived the youkai outside the door, but when the youkai tried to lead the hound away, the hound stubbornly wrestled the reins and confronted its master, and the youkai stopped and refocused his eyes on the room.
"So you're hiding here."
The youkai sneered.
In an instant, the window was slammed open, and when Xiao He turned his head, he saw a pair of eyes flowing with white light, and behind the eyes was a monster with a bull body and a human face, which was tethered to a hound, carrying a spear, and its voice was empty and majestic.
The moment Xiao He saw it, it also meant that the monster saw her at the same time.
There was hardly any breathing space, and the demon who was like a man like an ox threw the spear in his hand.
The iron spear rotated at high speed, destroying and decaying, and the files flew into ashes wherever it passed, and the tables and chairs crumbled into crumbs, and when it reached Xiao He, it was as fierce as thunder, and it was about to devour this delicate and beautiful girl in the blink of an eye.
"Get out."
Xiao He clenched his teeth and blocked with the Wu family's sword technique.
The iron spear collided with her thin sword, the white light was surging, and the collision was fierce, although Xiao He caught this shot, but her sword was also bent like a bow, and the force of the rebound floated backwards with her whole person, hitting the wall behind her, almost breaking the wound that had been entangled.
The end of the iron spear is attached to an iron chain.
The demon general with the body and human face dragged the gun back with the iron chain, and held it in the palm of his hand in an instant, and it aimed the iron gun at Xiao He's throat and threw it again.
This shot is more powerful, fortunately, Xiao He's body is quite agile, she relied on the distance from the opponent enough, directly flashed sideways, fell to the ground and rolled, and dodged this shot.
The iron spear missed, and the tip of the spear dug into the wall, making it difficult to pull out for a moment.
Xiao He saw the opportunity, used its iron chain as a bridge, stepped on the leap, and slashed at its body with a sword.
At this moment, a question flashed through Xiao He's mind - whether its heart was in the lower body like a cow or in the upper body like a human.
Xiao He broke free from the blind spot of knowledge in time, and only took the throat with a sword.
The youkai didn't have time to defend, so he flung the reins of the two hounds and threw them out.
The screams of the hounds suddenly sounded - they instantly turned into the souls of Xiao He's sword.
With the death of the hound, the monster gained time to breathe, pulled out a steel knife from the cow, stopped it in the throat, and intercepted one of Xiao He's swords.
The blades collided, and a long series of sparks were sparked, Xiao He held the sword, pressed forward, but the old injury on the arm recurred at this time, she didn't have time to change her hand to hold the sword, and the opponent shook the knife, directly threw her out, and smashed it back into the house.
The severe pain tore at his body, Xiao He was in a trance, and it was difficult to stand up.
She had exhausted all her strength with the sword just now, and that sword failed, which in a sense also represented the exhaustion of mountains and rivers.
She gritted her teeth and looked at her wrist with a shudder.
A slender rope is tied around the wrist.
That's her seal.
If the seal is broken, she will kill the gods and Buddhas, but she also has no ability to re-lock the seals, which means that she will no longer be her......
The monster tugged at the chain, and the spear was opened and raised in his hand.
At the end of the battle between heaven and man in her heart, Xiao He suddenly raised her head, and the spear was already aimed at her eyebrows!
Life and death were like a fire in her face, burning her heart.
Just as she was about to break the seal, the monster's head flew up.
A white light appeared out of thin air, bypassing its body and cutting off its head with a beautiful neck loop.
The monster's massive body collapsed with a bang, revealing the slender figure behind it.
"Come with me." Mu Shijing said.
