Chapter 14: Attacked
On the second day, the sun was shining and a warm spring breeze blew through the jungle. Next to the black water cold pool, Zhou Xiaotian was lying lazily on the rock, with a little fox lying on his chest, and the sound of running water and birdsong was in his ears.
Bathed in the spring breeze, Zhou Xiaotian's heart is mixed, closing his eyes and thinking of the past of Xueen Mountain, every time he thinks of the home where he used to laugh and laugh, he is buried in the snow at this moment, and his heart is full of grief, spontaneously.
In the distance, there was a faint sound of breaking the sky, and the little fox hurriedly jumped up and chirped into the distance.
Zhou Xiaotian looked at it suspiciously, and saw that in a cloud of white light, a girl about the same size as himself, dressed in white, light and elegant, like a fairy, stepped on a flying sword, and came quickly, it turned out to be Gu Yue who was with Jingyue last night.
Gu Yue's magic trick was introduced, and he landed firmly in front of Zhou Xiaotian, and said: "I wanted to scare you, but I didn't expect that your little fox was clever, and he had already noticed me from a hundred feet away." Little junior brother, why don't you just give it to me!"
At the end, Gu Yue's eyes narrowed, and the corners of her mouth hung a wicked smile, aiming at the little fox on the side.
"I ??? I ???" Zhou Xiaotian's face was flushed, and he was embarrassed, but he didn't know how to refuse.
Gu Yue couldn't help but feel funny when she saw him deflated, and said, "Look at what scared you and teased you." You little fox is full of spirituality, and I don't know what means you have used to rely on you so much, I look at it and envy it. β
Zhou Xiaotian smiled innocently and scratched his head stupidly.
Gu Yue thought that he was deliberately concealing, so she glanced at him and said, "I don't want to say it!
Zhou Xiaotian hurriedly explained: "No... No, I... I came across it by chance in the back mountain and fed it some jerky. β
"Oh?" Gu Yue's eyes rolled sharply, and she smiled evilly, and she didn't know what to pay attention to in her head, "I see!"
"Did you see anything unusual here last night, like a strange light or something?"
Zhou Xiaotian thought about it carefully, and finally said seriously: "No, after I woke up last night, I didn't find any strange light except for the stars and the moon." β
Gu Yue was a little disappointed, but also a little unwilling, and continued to ask, "Think about it carefully!"
Zhou Xiaotian frowned, thought about it, suddenly thought of something, and hurriedly said: "By the way, there is..."
Gu Yue was overjoyed, and hurriedly asked, "What is it?"
"Also, when you and Uncle Jingyue came to the Imperial Sword, the flying sword under your feet shone brightly, and later the Imperial Flying Sword of Senior Brother Jia Nan also emitted a strange light!
Gu Yue was half angry with him, and flicked it on his head, and the foreign slave said: "It's you big-headed ghost! Last night I saw a ball of green light on the edge of this cold pool, but the master said that it was done by a demon beast, but I don't believe it, I came here today to find out!"
After speaking, she stepped on the flying sword and floated in the air, turned back to Zhou Xiaotian and said, "Let's go, follow me to check around." β
Zhou Xiaotian looked at Gu Yue in mid-air enviously, and said embarrassedly: "I... I don't know how to fly yet. β
"Oh, then you can wait for me here!" Then, the flying sword was as fast as the wind, carrying the graceful shadow, and gradually moved away.
Zhou Xiaotian stood in place for a long time, his eyes full of envy: "When will I be able to be like Senior Sister, Edgeworth Flying!"
An hour later, Gu Yue's face was full of frustration and she returned in frustration.
Zhou Xiaotian saw her come back, stood up and asked, "Senior sister, have you found anything?"
"Within ten miles of this, apart from wild beasts and beasts, is it really a demon beast of cultivation as Master said?"
Where did she think that the source of the blue light was Zhou Xiaotian in front of her!
Gu Yue returned in vain, feeling very unhappy in her heart, looking at how Zhou Xiaotian felt awkward in front of her, and there was a burst of trouble in her heart for no reason.
"Why do you always wear a fur hat, it's so cold!"
Gu Yue took advantage of his unpreparedness, reached out with one hand and instantly took off the leather hat on his head.
Seeing the top of Zhou Xiaotian's head, Gu Yue covered her mouth with her hand and exclaimed: "You... Your hair ???"
Zhou Xiaotian slowly lowered his head, bursts of inferiority complex welled up in his heart, and once again wrapped himself tightly with silence.
"I'm sorry!" Gu Yue was at a loss for a moment, facing Zhou Xiaotian, her heart was suddenly full of sympathy and a trace of inexplicable fear.
"You think I'm a monster, don't you?" his voice was as light as a mosquito, but full of sadness, and then he said nonchalantly: "Actually, it's nothing, I've been riddled with strange diseases since I was a child, and my appearance doesn't fit in with the people around me, and in their eyes I'm a little monster, and I'm used to it." β
At this time, the little fox seemed to notice the strangeness in Zhou Xiaotian's heart, climbed down his trouser legs to his shoulders, and gently licked the tears in the corners of Zhou Xiaotian's eyes with his pink little tongue.
The breeze swept across the water, rippling and rippling, Gu Yue felt a pain in her heart and asked, "What about your family?"
Zhou Xiaotian slowly closed his eyes, and the tears in the corners of his eyes finally couldn't help but drip slowly.
"They??? They??? It's gone!"
"Yes??? I'm sorry. Gu Yue was infected by Zhou Xiaotian's narration, and couldn't help but think of her life experience, reddened, and said: "Anyway, you used to have parents who loved you, and I was adopted by my master when I was a child, and I have never even seen my parents." β
Zhou Xiaotian saw Gu Yue crying, but he panicked in his heart, a little overwhelmed, he wiped away his tears and sobbed, and said, "Senior sister, it's all my fault, don't cry." β
He bent down and picked up the little fox, handed it to Gu Yue, and said, "Xiaoxue will give you a hug, senior sister won't cry anymore!"
Xiaoxue glanced at Zhou Xiaotian, but she didn't struggle much.
Gu Yue laughed when she saw this, took the little fox, glared at him angrily, turned around and walked away without speaking.
The afterglow of the sunset sprinkled on the earth, the water surface blew with the breeze, rippling blue waves, flickering, the surrounding forests, rustling, suddenly a gaze in the woods looked at the two people by the pond from afar, Gu Yue didn't know why a spirit, seemed to be aware, looked at the forest suspiciously, but it was empty, and he was surprised in his heart, thinking that he was too busy for a while, and he didn't care, and continued to play with Xiaoxue.
mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm
The days on the Aocang Peak are dull, Zhou Xiaotian cultivates diligently every day, he knows that his qualifications are poor, although his cultivation is very slow, but his temperament is persistent and stubborn, I believe that as long as he works hard, one day he will be able to step on the flying sword and gallop the sky like his senior brothers and sisters.
In the past three years, he has never slackened off in his cultivation, meditating and cultivating by the Black Water Pool during the day, and returning to his room at night to continue practicing the exercises, so that he has never stopped, but despite this, there is still no progress in the cultivation realm.
And in the past three years, everyone in Ao Cang Peak has also practiced hard, almost everyone has spent all their time on retreat and cultivation, Zhou Xiaotian seems to be an abandoned orphan, except for Jia Nan's occasional words of cold and warmth, no one cares. He gradually got used to loneliness, but fortunately, with the little fox as his companion, life did not seem so difficult.
On this day, next to the black water cold pool in the mountain behind Aocang Peak, Zhou Xiaotian meditated and practiced as usual, his whole body was wrapped in the aura of heaven and earth, and Xiaoxue was chasing a butterfly to play and play, looking naΓ―ve and cute.
I don't know when, a pair of cold eyes stared at Zhou Xiaotian in the aura. Zhou Xiaotian sensed a hint of danger and woke up from his meditation. He looked into the forest in the distance, and saw a huge brown bear lingering there, with a faint yellow light on the bear's body, its eyes were like ice, staring at Zhou Xiaotian and observing cautiously.
Qingsang Five Peaks, the immortal qi is dense, there are countless spirit birds and beasts, and the perception of aura is extremely keen, obviously this brown bear demon beast was attracted by the aura gathered by Zhou Xiaotian when he was cultivating.
It looked around, and seemed to sense that Zhou Xiaotian's cultivation was weak, so it no longer held back, roared wildly, and rushed towards Yan Zhou Xiaotian, with layers of smoke rising from the place it passed.
Zhou Xiaotian was stunned by the brown bear's momentum, and Xiaoxue saw that her body was like electricity, fast as the wind, and she instantly came to Zhou Xiaotian and protected him behind her.
The brown bear was so fast that it came to Xiaoxue in a blink of an eye, it stopped, stood upright, and its two bear paws kept beating its chest, and the beast's throat in its mouth did not stop, so as to show its tall and mighty.
Zhou Xiaotian only felt a gust of fishy wind blowing, and the foul smell rushed to his face, and he almost fainted with a flower in front of him.
The fox Xiaoxue was not to be outdone, bowed her waist, and bared her fangs at the brown bear, as if she were facing a great enemy.
A fox and a bear have been in a stalemate for a long time.
In the end, the brown bear seemed to lose patience and took the lead, although it was as large as an elephant, its body was extremely dexterous, and it raised its right palm and slapped it fiercely at Xiaoxue. Xiaoxue jumped up on the spot, lightly touched the bear's arm with all fours, jumped along the bear's body a few times, and landed on the brown bear's back, opened the fox's mouth, and a row of fangs and cracked teeth bit the brown bear's neck. The brown bear was in pain, roared again, threw himself to the ground, and tossed wildly, trying to throw the little fox away.
The two beasts fought, the scene was bloody and chaotic, countless gravel was splashed everywhere by the brown bear that kept tumbling, Zhou Xiaotian saw the two beasts tearing and biting chaotically, and quickly retreated to the side, really worried about the little fox's comfort, but there was nothing he could do.
Unexpectedly, a fist-sized piece of gravel splashed out, impartial, and hit Zhou Xiaotian's chest. Zhou Xiaotian's chest ached, and he felt a huge force knocking his whole person out.
'Poof', Zhou Xiaotian fell into the cold pool before he could shout, splashing countless splashes. Seeing this, Xiaoxue's hair on her whole body stood up, she looked extremely angry, her eyes instantly became extremely red, and for a while, her furious hair was furious, and the sharp claws on her limbs suddenly grew several times, and the sharp claws were deeply grasped into the skin and flesh of the brown bear, and then it pulled the beast's mouth, and tore off a large piece of brown bear's flesh and blood in her mouth, and the fierce battle scene was extremely bloody.
In the cold pool of black water, as Zhou Xiaotian sank deeper and deeper towards Tan Di, his consciousness gradually blurred.
"Finally, I finally can't escape death, but I'm already ready to die, what are I still unwilling to do?"
"I miss the snow-covered mountains, the green pine forests, and the happy laughter and laughter in the open space at the head of the village..........
His unconscious body finally touched the rocks at Tandi, and his chaotic thoughts were entangled in his mind, and in the confusion, he felt that his eyes were extremely heavy, and he couldn't help but fall asleep. At this time, there was a trace of coolness in his chest, and Zhou Xiaotian felt that coolness rushing straight to his head, and his body shook and he was a little sober. In the delicate beads on his chest, a trace of clear flow of creation qi oozed through his skin, blended into the blood veins, and flowed through every acupoint of his body, and his body gradually regained some strength under the nourishment of the creation qi.
