Chapter 5 Make up your mind
At the moment when Wei Xia fell into the water, the surface of the river was covered by a mysterious force, the water surface was like a mirror, and she seemed to have fallen into another world, and she was already in a strange place when she appeared. She has disappeared with that mysterious power, and it is no wonder that Liu Jinhao can't find her.
Wei Xia was still floating in the river, and the environment in which she was located seemed to have not changed at all, but she had reached a place thousands of miles away from the Shanhe Sect.
This great river starts at the junction of the eastern continent and the southern region of the mainland, and countless rivers and streams on the way flow into this great river, which flows through most of the southern region, and then enters the western wilderness, and finally enters the North Sea.
This river has a resounding name on the mainland, called "Tongtian River". Legend has it that there is another continent on the other side of the North Sea, inhabited by real immortals, and is the center of the whole world, hence the name Tongtian River. However, the North Sea is vast, and there are even krakens in the Yuanhua Realm, so no one dares to rashly explore whether there really is another continent.
Wei Xia was taken to the Western Wilderness thousands of miles away by that mysterious power, and after arriving here, the mysterious power slowly dissipated, and some of it burrowed into her body, and it began to repair her injuries little by little from the inside out.
The river was too wide, and she was in a coma. The body floated in the river, and if no one approached her, if she was found, she might drift down the river like this.
But this is not destined to happen. Because at this time, there was a person who was tiptoeing on the shore to observe the movement in the river. After a while, the man seemed to be sure it was safe, and began to run, sprint, and jump.
Thump!
This person seemed to be full of momentum, kicked the ground hard, and jumped more than two feet high, but in the end he still pounced and fell into the river. One jump is six or seven meters, and it can be seen from this that this person is by no means an ordinary person.
He swam in a dog-planing style and swam to the white clothes floating in front of him. Fortunately, it was relatively close to the shore, so he quickly swam to Wei Xia's side, and dragged Wei Xia to the shore one by one.
After a lot of effort, I finally got to the shore. He put Wei Xia aside, then sat on the ground, gasping for air.
"Damn, I'm tired."
It was a young man of about sixteen or seventeen years old, and he had a long sword behind him.
The young man has clear eyebrows and beautiful eyes, and there is still a hint of immaturity on his face.
Originally, he just wanted to pick some herbs in the woods by the river. But just now, he saw a large area of golden light appear in the direction of the river, and thought that some heavenly treasure had appeared, so he rushed over. But he only saw a girl in white floating on the surface of the river, and there was still a little golden light on her body, so he hid in the dark and quietly observed, and after confirming that there was no one around, he jumped into the river and dragged the girl up the riverbank.
After a short rest, the boy stood up and prepared to check on the girl. He was at the beginning of his love, and he was stunned for a while by this exquisite face that caught his eye.
When he came back to his senses, he looked at the moving body that was soaked with clothes, the clothes clinging to his skin, and he was wet all over. He had another parchment and couldn't help but swallow.
He reached out and patted his head and muttered, "Calm, calm!" Master said that a good-looking woman can confuse people's hearts, and if it is true, she almost fell into the Tao. ”
There was blood on the girl's chest, as if she had been injured. He crouched down and reached out to probe the girl's mouth and nose. I was shocked that I didn't breathe. Caring so much, he hurriedly checked whether the girl had a heartbeat.
He sat down on the ground again, his face pale. Because the girl not only did not breathe or have a heartbeat, but even her body was a little stiff and cold. But strangely, no wounds were seen on her.
The boy sighed: "Alas! I don't know whose girl it was, so she drowned. It's a pity that she looks so good, otherwise it would be good to take it back to be a daughter-in-law. ”
The young man paused, and then said, "Since I met you today, it is also your luck to salvage you ashore." Wait a minute, I'll go find a feng shui treasure and bury you, girl, and I will never let you be a corpse in the wilderness. ”
The young man's eyes suddenly lit up, and he saw a hosta pinned to the girl's head, and he felt that it was worth a lot of money. She also has a beautiful storage bag around her waist.
The storage bag is a kind of space magic weapon refined by high-level cultivators, which can hold a lot of things, and it will not become heavy because it contains too many things. It was very convenient to go out. Therefore, it has been favored by the vast number of practitioners. This thing requires aura to open, so it can only be used by cultivators.
"As the old saying goes, if you collect the corpse of someone, you will be rewarded. Haha, this is a fortune. ”
The boy squinted and smiled, reaching out to take the hosta from the girl's head.
The girl had opened her eyes and was staring blankly at the sky.
The boy was startled, rolled backwards on the ground, and then ran behind a tree in the distance.
Wei Xia was a little dazed, she originally thought she was dead. But I didn't expect to wake up again, and my physical strength is slowly recovering.
She stared blankly at the sky, thinking about what had happened to her. She didn't expect that the person who finally pushed herself into the abyss would be her mother who had been dependent on her for many years.
She whispered: "Tiger poison does not eat children, but people." ”
"Huh! What a joke. For the sake of your so-called immortal path, can you really abandon anything, mother? You think that I rely on that bone to grow quickly, so I have to take it away. ”
Wei Xia, who has always been innocent and has never speculated about this world with the slightest malice, has a trace of hatred in her heart at this moment.
She secretly swore in her heart: "Even if I don't have that natural root bone now, I will still re-embark on the path of cultivation in my own way, and then defeat you, proving that the path you have chosen is nothing but a small path." ”
Since she was a child, she has been eager to give her all the good things, and she has always been so good to her mother. If she was asked to do anything, she would be willing to do it, even if she was asked to give her life for her, she would not hesitate.
But she couldn't accept that she had been raised by her mother as the nutrient of the "Avenue of Eternal Life" from the very beginning, and everything she did to herself, the so-called family affection, turned out to be false. Especially her mother's ruthlessness and indifference at the last moment broke her heart. Could it be that for so many years, my mother has no feelings for herself at all?
She didn't want to believe it, she had to ask her mother.
After restraining her emotions, she sat up.
"Huh?"
She was a little surprised that the wound in her chest had been healed from the place where the sword had pierced her, and she could no longer feel any pain.
She tried to breathe a little faster, so that she could recover her strength faster. But he was shocked to find that he didn't have the slightest aura in his body.
But when I think about it, even the foundation was taken away by my mother, and I was lucky that I didn't die.
She felt a little cold at this moment, looking at her soaked, dripping clothes, and at her completely unfamiliar surroundings. Her mind was full of doubts, and she didn't know how long she had been unconscious and where she was now.
A head poked out from behind the tree, carefully observing the girl's movements. Seeing her sit up suddenly, the boy was so frightened that he hurriedly retracted his neck.
"It's over, it's over, how did she suddenly come back to life. Could it be that I didn't look at the yellow calendar when I went out today, and I saw the hell in the daytime. ”
The young man leaned back against the tree, very uneasy in his heart, and continued to whisper: "God forbid, I hope she doesn't find me." ”
The boy was going to quietly observe the woman again, to see what she would do next, and if things didn't go well, he had better get away with it.
As a result, when he turned around, he looked at each other. A beautiful face, somewhat pale, was only a few inches away from him, and his face almost hit the other's. Frightened to the point that a cold sweat broke out on his back, his mind turned sharply, and he quickly thought of a way to deal with it.
As a result, when he saw the girl staring at him, his beautiful eyes blinked, and he said, "You saved me?" ”
"Huh?"
The young ghost made a difference, and subconsciously hummed.
But the girl looks quite normal, not like some kind of ghost, I should have scared myself just now.
A little relieved, he said: "When I passed by here before, I saw the girl floating in the river, and I pulled you up. I was eager to save people just now, and if there is anything offensive, please don't blame the girl. ”
After saying this, he took two steps back with a little weakness.
Wei Xia felt that someone was beside her when she woke up, but her consciousness was still immersed in grief at that time, and she didn't notice who the person next to her was, and thought it was Liu Jinhao. Because before, at the last moment when she lost consciousness, she vaguely saw Liu Jinhao coming towards her.
Wei Xia looked at the young man who looked like a chicken in soup, and smiled slightly: "You saved me, I should thank you, how can I blame you." By the way, my name is Wei Xia, and I am a member of the Shanhe Sect, so it's a pleasure to meet you. ”
Hearing this, the young man completely let down his guard: "My name is Ling Feng, I am from Wufeng Mountain, I am very happy to meet you." ”
"Wufeng Mountain? How far is it from the Mountain and River Sect. ”
Wei Xia was a little puzzled, there were dozens of sects in the Southern Regions, large and small, she basically knew the names, but she had never heard of a place called Wufeng Mountain. At this time, she didn't know that she was no longer in the Southern Regions, but in the Western Wilderness.
Ling Feng also looked puzzled: "I don't know! Master was very strict, saying that because I was unqualified, I should stay on the mountain and practice honestly, and never let me go down the mountain alone. This time, I also ran out quietly while Master was out on something, so I didn't know much about it. ”
"That's right."
Wei Xia didn't get the answer she wanted, and was a little disappointed. But after hearing Ling Feng talk about what happened to him, he had a better impression of him. Maybe it's because he's in a similar situation to himself, or maybe it's because he saved himself.
The two who met for the first time stood opposite each other in a wet state, and the atmosphere was slightly awkward. Ling Feng, whose heartstrings relaxed, tilted his head a little embarrassedly, not daring to look at Wei Xia unscrupulously.
Seeing Ling Feng's actions, Wei Xia also realized the embarrassing situation at the moment, turned around with a red face and walked behind the tree.
"I'm going to pick up some dead branches and make a fire to keep warm. Miss Wei has been soaking in the river for too long, but don't catch a cold. ”
In order to alleviate the embarrassment, Ling Feng walked into the forest after speaking, picking up dry branches.
Not long after, beside a small fire in the jungle, Wei Xia put on her clothes that were almost dry. The two holes in the front and back of her clothes that were pierced by the sword made her head a little bigger. After tinkering for a long time, I pulled out some silk threads on my clothes, and finally sewed the two holes together, which looked a little awkward, but I couldn't care about it so much. There were a lot of clothes in her storage bag, but there was no aura in her body to open them.
She had tried to re-induce qi into her body before, but every time the aura only swirled around in her body, swirled around, and then dissipated between heaven and earth.
She remembered that when she first started to practice, every time she ran the exercises, the aura would continue to pour into her body in a frenzied stream, as if she was afraid that she would absorb it too slowly. But now, these auras seem to dislike her and don't want to leave a single thing.
It was then that she realized the importance of qualifications and roots to a cultivator. And having lost all this, and being in a place where you are unfamiliar with life, you need to face all kinds of unknown dangers, and it is probably a problem to survive.
She was a little worried that if she couldn't find a way to gather spiritual energy and couldn't re-embark on the path of cultivation, she wouldn't be able to gain the ability to protect herself. Even if I see my mother again, what can I do! If Bao Buqi is rewarded with a sword by her again, he may not be lucky to survive as he is now.
"Alas! You can only take one step at a time, there will always be a way. ”
She sighed, a little unconfident in herself.
After extinguishing the fire, he walked out of the woods and saw Ling Feng closing his eyes around a bonfire. A few fish that were roasted to exuding aroma attracted Wei Xia's attention, and her stomach screamed with a "grunt".
