Chapter Twenty-Six: The Devil's Fruit
Xue Ru didn't know how to explain to Nangong Ying, Xue Ru's mood was very chaotic at this moment, she had always just regarded Nangong Ying as her brother, and her feelings for Nangong Ying were just brother and sister, and she didn't think about it, as for Nangong Ling, the head in front of her, Xue Ru herself didn't know, every time she saw Nangong Ling, she couldn't help but want to stay with him for a while, and talk a little longer, although Xue Ru always had that brother in her heart, but as soon as Nangong Ling appeared, Xue Ru couldn't help but look at him, all over her body, Even the mind is not under the control of Xue Ru herself.
"Brother Shadow, Yi Shangxian, I'll go out first, these buns are for the master, I'll put them here." Xue Ru really couldn't talk about these words in front of Nangong Ying, so she put the bun in her hand on the table and hurriedly walked out of the door.
"I told you before, it's best not to be emotional about Yu Xueru, otherwise you will be the one who suffers in the end." Yi Shangxian turned his head and said to Nangong Ying, who was a little lost.
"Don't say it." Nangong Ying stared at Yi Cheng Shangxian with murderous eyes, and left after speaking.
Long Yi pushed Han Xiao, who was in a wheelchair, out of the door, and the two of them were talking and laughing, when they saw Nangong Ying, who had just come out of the head room, with a very serious expression.
"Uh, where are you going?" Han Xiao, who was in a wheelchair, looked at Nangong Ying and always felt that something had happened.
"Oh, it's Han Xiao and Long Yi, I have to go back to the Tianxian faction, now the head is injured and needs to recuperate for a few days, the head came out secretly this time, and he didn't tell the disciples in the sect, nor did he tell the immortals, I have to go back as soon as possible to inform the immortals, so that I can take care of everything and let the head recuperate here with peace of mind!" Nangong Ying saw Han Xiao and Long Yi and immediately changed their complicated mood and returned to the previous Nangong Ying.
"Well, too, you have to notify the immortals first, then you have to be careful along the way!" Xue Ru nodded and looked at Nangong Ying and said.
"Well, then I'll go first, bye-bye." Nangong Ying waved to Han Xiao and Long Yi and walked past them.
"Well, bye-bye." Han Xiao and Long Yi both turned around and waved at Nangong Ying's back.
Han Xiao and Long Yi walked into the room of the head of the house after saying goodbye to Nangong Ying, and the two of them also came to see if the head had woken up.
"Yi Shangxian, how is the master? When will you wake up? Long Yi pushed Han Xiao to the table, found a chair to sit down, looked at Yi Shangxian and asked.
"Alas, although the head of the wound has healed himself, the pain of the injury has not gone away, just now I have asked the head to take the medicine, tonight is very important, as long as you survive tonight, you will be fine." Yi Shangxian stood up from the side of the bed of the head of the house, walked to Long Yi and sat down.
"Well, that's good." Long Yi looked at Nangong Ling who was lying on the bed and said.
"Eh... , Yi Shangxian, isn't Xiaoxue here? Han Xiao looked left and left, looking for Xueru's figure.
"Oh, Xueru girl, she came, she stayed here for a while, and then put down the bun and left." Yi relied on the eyes of the immortal to avoid Han Xiao and Long Yi, and deliberately concealed what had just happened.
"Xiaoxue, this girl is running around, so do you know where she went?" Han Xiao was a little worried about Xue Ru, and asked Yi to be an immortal.
"I don't know, she didn't say anything when she went out, hehe, don't worry, maybe she'll be back in a while!" Yi Shangxian saw that Han Xiao was so worried about Xueru, so he persuaded Han Xiao.
Han Xiao saw that Yi Cheng Shangxian said that he didn't have to worry about it, so he relaxed, chatted with Long Yi and Yi Cheng Shangxian, and waited for Xiaoxue to come back in the head room, looking at the door from time to time, because Han Xiao knew that if Xiao Xue came back, he would definitely come to the head of the room to see if the head woke up, I think no one understands Xue Ru's mind better than Han Xiao.
"I'm back, is the boss awake?" Xue Ru shouted before she even entered the door.
"Xiaoxue, where have you been? Why did you come back so late, you went out without saying a word, do you know how worried I am about you! As soon as Xue Ru entered the door, Han Xiao complained about Xue Ru in an angry tone, and Han Xiao's heart was more worried.
"Ah, I'm sorry everyone, I didn't mean to! Sister Xiao'er, don't be angry, I won't go out without saying a word next time, please, don't be angry, okay? Xue Ru immediately realized her mistake, squatted in front of Han Xiao, took her hand and said sorry, she didn't expect that after running out because she was in a panic, Sister Xiao'er would be so worried.
"Xiaoxue, you girl is really good, if you want to go anywhere, you have to tell any of us first! You're so naughty too! You see you're angry with your sister, she's been worried about you! Long Yi stood behind Han Xiao and looked at Xue Ru who was squatting in front of Han Xiao and said.
"Brother Long Yi, I'm sorry, Sister Xiao'er, I promise you, I will never do anything to worry you next time." Xue Ru looked up at Long Yi who was standing behind Han Xiao, then looked at Han Xiao in front of him and raised one hand and swore.
"Next time? Do you have a next time? Han Xiao looked at Xue Ru who raised his hand and swore and said.
"Oh, no, no, no next time, hehe, don't be angry! Anger will turn into an old woman's. Xue Ru stood up and naughtily pulled Han Xiao's hands and swayed from side to side, coquettish to Han Xiao, and several people laughed in an instant.
"Haha, you girl, I really can't help you." Yi Shangxian laughed and pointed at Xue Ru and said.
"How's the boss doing?" Xue Ru walked towards Nangong Ling, looking at Nangong Ling lying on the bed, Xue Ru's heart couldn't help but feel involuntarily again.
"Yi Cheng Shangxian said that tonight is very important, as long as you survive tonight, you will be fine." Long Yi looked at Xue Ru, took two steps forward and said.
"It's easy to be immortal, is it true? Will you really survive tonight? Xue Ru looked at Yi Shangxian with puzzled eyes.
"Well, it's true." Yi Cheng Shangxian nodded and said.
"Great." Xue Ru turned her head to look at Nangong Ling again.
"By the way, what about Lin Song?" Han Xiao suddenly asked.
"Oh, Lin Song went to other places to investigate if there was anything strange, so there are only a few of us left here." Yi Shangxian sat on the chair and said.
"Well, what about Brother Shadow? He's not here. Xue Ru's tone of voice hesitated, and she looked around when Nangong Ying was not present.
"Oh, Nangong Ying has already returned to the Heavenly Immortal Sect, and he didn't tell anyone when the head came out, and now the head is injured and needs to recuperate for a few days, so Nangong Ying will take the first step back to the Heavenly Immortal Sect to report to the immortals." Han Xiao, who was in a wheelchair, said to Xueru.
"Oh." Xue Ru replied with a preoccupied look.
Han Xiao knew that she must have something on her mind when she saw Xue Ru's eyes, but it was inconvenient to ask her at this time; After a while, Zhou Rou and Xia Zili came back with food in their hands, as soon as the two of them walked into the door, they immediately ran to Zhou Rou and Xia Zili's eyes, Xue Ru's eyes lit up when she saw the deliciousness, and she hurriedly took the food in Zhou Rou and Xia Zili's hands, and sat down on the table and began to eat, all staring at Xue Ru, looking at her when she was eating, it was very ridiculous, Zhou Rou looked at Xia Zili with a smile, Xia Zili smiled and looked at Zhou Rou and walked over and sat down together, everyone talked and laughed while eating.
In the middle of the night, Han Xiao, Xue Ru, Long Yi, Zhou Rou, Xia Zili and Yi Cheng Shangxian had already fallen asleep on the table, after a while, Xue Ru rubbed her eyes in a daze and woke up, she looked at everyone who was asleep and walked to the bed, Xue Ru stretched out a hand and touched Nangong Ling's forehead, at this time Xue Ru was shocked, it turned out that Nangong Ling had a fever, Xue Ru immediately went out and brought a basin of water and a towel, and wet the towel on Nangong Ling's forehead, Xue Ru sat on the side of the bed all night to help Nangong Ling change the towel until dawn, Nangong Ling's fever subsided, and she fell asleep on the side of the bed with peace of mind.
"Xiaoxue, Xiaoxue." Long Yi, who woke up first, walked towards Xueru and patted her on the shoulder.
"Huh? Brother Long Yi, you're awake! Xue Ru raised her head and looked at Long Yi in a daze.
"You haven't rested all night, I'll just guard here, you go back to your room to rest for a while, and by the way, wake them up and go back to their respective rooms to rest!" Long Yi pulled Xue Ru up, and pointed to everyone who was asleep on the table
"Well, well!" After saying that, Xue Ru walked to the table and woke everyone back to the room.
Nangong Ying has already arrived at the Tianxian Sect, and he has already told Longyin Shangxian about the injury of the head Nangong Ling in Miaoyou Town, Muzi Shangxian and Nangong Le Shangxian, and the affairs of the sect are all in charge of the three immortals, and Nangong Ying also stayed in the Tianxian Sect to help take care of things.
The sun was shining three poles, the town was crowded, lively, Long Yi was lying on the window and looking at the streets of Fushui Town, Long Yi was looking at it, suddenly he heard the sound of moaning, looked around, it turned out that the head woke up, he hurriedly ran over.
"Master, master, you have finally woken up, I will go and call everyone over right now." Long Yi lay on the side of the bed and immediately ran out of the room to call Han Xiao, Xue Ru, Zhou Rou, Xia Zili and Yi Shangxian, everyone heard that the head of the house woke up, and ran into the head of the room one after another, especially Yu Xueru, who was the fastest runner for her.
"Master, it's great that you're awake." Xue Ru helped Nangong Ling sit up, and then sat on the edge of the bed and looked at Nangong Ling, although he couldn't see his expression, he was very happy to see Nangong Ling wake up.
"Master, you can recuperate here with peace of mind! The affairs in the sect have been handed over to Nangong Le Shang Immortal, Long Yin Shang Immortal and Muzi Shang Immortal, you can rest assured! Yi Shangxian walked up to Nangong Ling and said.
"Well, you've been tired these days." Nangong Ling said to everyone in a weak tone.
"Don't be tired, that's what we should do." Long Yi also walked in front of Nangong Ling and replied.
In this way, Long Yi, Han Xiao, Xue Ru, Zhou Rou, Xia Zili and Yi Cheng Shangxian took care of Nangong Ling together during the day, and took turns guarding at night, and the daily medication was fed by Xue Ru herself, and under their care for several days, Nangong Ling's injuries gradually improved, she could get out of bed and walk, and she could already practice swordsmanship.
"Sit down, everybody! I have something to say. Nangong Ling called Long Yi, Han Xiao, Xue Ru, Zhou Rou, Xia Zili and Yi Cheng Shangxian into his room.
"Yes, sir." Everyone sat around the table.
"What I want to say is, now my injuries are almost healed, we will go back to the Tianxian faction on a cloudy day, we are divided into two ways, Yi Shangxian, Zhou Rou, Xia Zili and me, the four of us will go back to Tianxian first, Han Xiao is now inconvenient for his legs and feet, and it is not suitable to move around, so he will be accompanied by Long Yi and Xue Ru, and then go back when Han Xiao is almost good!" Nangong Ling looked at the five of them and said.
"Yes, sir." Everyone spoke in unison, and there was no objection to the arrangement of the head Nangong Ling.
Early the next morning, Nangong Ling and Yi relied on Shangxian, Zhou Rou and Xia Zili flew back to the Tianxian faction together, while Long Yi, Han Xiao and Xue Ru planned to slowly hike back to Tianshan, although it would take a long time to walk back to Tianshan, but this would also allow Han Xiao to have time to recuperate, so Long Yi hired a carriage on the streets of Fushui Town, and the three of them got on the carriage and started to move forward.
Suddenly, one day, as soon as the weather cleared, it began to rain heavily, they had just arrived at a place called Liuzhi City, Long Yi was going to get off the carriage to buy food, and when he was about to get into the carriage after buying food, the rain suddenly became heavier and heavier, and it was very dangerous to travel in the rain.
In desperation, the three of them found an inn in Liuzhi City and stayed there, and each went to the room on the second floor to change their wet clothes, and went downstairs to eat together.
"Hello man, may I ask what the Demon Fruit you just talked about?" The dragon chair was very curious, so he ran directly to the next table and sat down to ask those people.
"Seeing that you are not a local, even if you tell you, it doesn't matter, 300 miles outside our Liuzhi City, there is a cherry blossom forest, legend has it that there is a demon tree that has lived for thousands of years in the depths of the cherry blossom forest, that tree blooms once in a thousand years, and bears fruit once in a thousand years, that is the fruit of the devil, as long as humans eat the fruit of the devil, they will have superpowers, and they can also subdue demons and eliminate demons, and their minds will become extremely smart and yin, and the most important thing is that they can cure all diseases, even incurable diseases can be cured, and no one has been able to get the fruit of the devil so far, It's because there are Guardians guarding the Demon Tree, these are legends, and as far as we know, no one has ever entered it. A middle-aged man sitting on Long Yi's left whispered.
"Oh, have you ever heard of who that Guardian is? Is he powerful? Long Yi put one hand on the table and the other cheek and looked at everyone sitting.
"I've heard several theories, some say it's a monster, some say it's a god who made a mistake in the heavenly court and was demoted to guard the demon tree, and some say it's a dog god, in short, there are a lot, and I don't know which one is true." The old man sitting opposite Long Yi said.
"Oh, I see, I'm sorry to bother you, I've invited you to this meal, brothers, please use it slowly." Long Yi returned to his seat after speaking.
"Long Yi, how's it going?" Han Xiao put down the chopsticks in his hand and looked at the person at the next table, then looked at Long Yi and asked.
"Hehe, a good thing happened." Long Yi said with a smile, what was Long Yi planning in his heart.
"What's a good thing? Brother Long Yi. Xue Ru asked as she ate.
"Actually, I have long suspected Xiao'er's legs, I said it was nothing, and it will be fine in a few days, but after so long, it is still not good, I am a little worried, just now I heard a few brothers at the next table say that there is a cherry blossom forest 300 miles outside the city, and there is a demon tree in the cherry blossom forest, the demon tree blooms for a thousand years and bears fruit for a thousand years, and the fruit is the devil's fruit, which can cure all kinds of diseases, so I want to go to the cherry blossom forest to find the devil's fruit and cure Xiao'er's leg." Long Yi looked at Han Xiao and said.
"Long Yi, tell me, isn't it dangerous there?" At this time, Han Xiao's face changed and became very serious, and even Xue Ru put down the chopsticks in her hand when she saw Han Xiao's appearance.
"Well, it's a bit dangerous, it's said that there is a guardian guarding the Demon Tree, but I'm not weak, have you forgotten? I still have the Forbidden Demon Sword, no matter how powerful the other party is, I will defeat him with the Forbidden Demon Sword, you have to believe me! "Long Yi is very confident about going to find the Demon Fruit.
"If you want to go, Xiaoxue and I must go with you." Han Xiao said firmly.
"Well, okay, let's continue eating! After a cloudy day, we went to the cherry blossom forest to look for the devil's fruit. After Long Yi finished speaking, he picked up the chopsticks to eat, with a smile on his face.
The next day, the weather was clear, there was some breeze, Long Yi pushed Han Xiao who was sitting in a wheelchair, and Xue Ru who was following behind, and the three of them went out of Liuzhi City together and came to the cherry blossom forest, where there were cherry blossom trees everywhere, and the road inside was very chaotic, and if you had a slight accident, you would get lost.
"Xiaoxue, you have to follow us well! Don't get separated, or it'll be dangerous. Long Yi looked at Xue Ru behind him and looked around, while on guard.
"Yes, Brother Long Yi, I will be more careful." Xue Ru also looked around, guarding back to back with Long Yi.
The three of them walked deeper and deeper, a breeze blew, the cherry blossoms were flying all over the sky, the scenery was spectacular, the three of them involuntarily stopped to enjoy the cherry blossoms flying in the sky, suddenly the wind stopped, the surrounding cherry blossom trees moved each other, there was originally a path, the cherry blossom trees became no road after moving, Long Yi, Han Xiao and Xue Ru were trapped in the cherry blossom forest.
"Brother Long Yi, what's going on? Now there is no road. Xue Ru walked up to Long Yi and Han Xiao and asked.
"It must have been the Guardian who got the hell, he found us." Long Yi looked around and said.
"Long Yi, what should we do now?" Han Xiao turned his head and asked Long Yi.
"Hehe, why don't I use the Forbidden Demon Sword to raze this cherry blossom forest to the ground." Long Yi replied with a smile.
"Hehe, yes, yes, that's a good idea, it's easier to find the Demon Fruit after razing it to the ground." The snow clapped her hands like coaxing.
"Long Yi, Xiaoxue, you two are serious, we broke in without the consent of the master's family, and we also want to ask others for the devil's fruit, no matter what, it's our fault, this cherry blossom forest is a family for the guardian, no matter what, we can't destroy other people's homes." Han Xiao said angrily.
