Chapter 25: The Sea of Oranges
Lingling secretly looked at Hu Xia on the side, and at the same time, her heart trembled suddenly, in the dark place of the shade of the tree, Hu Xia's figure was a little lonely.
"Brother, what's wrong with you? Why don't you eat it? Lingling walked up to Hu Xia with a skewer of barbecue, handed the barbecue in her hand to Hu Xia, and timidly opened her mouth to ask.
Lingling's nice voice interrupted Hu Xia's thoughts, and soon Hu Xia came back to his senses, looking at the barbecue in front of him and Lingling, who was a little shy, he couldn't help but show a bitter smile, he took the barbecue, took a bite, and chewed it in a big bite.
Lingling saw Hu Xia eating barbecue, and couldn't help but smile, "Brother, what happened to you just now?" ”
"I'm fine, I just remembered something unhappy!" Hu Xia took a bite of barbecue, slurred in his mouth, and asked, "Xiao Ling'er, why did you come to this primeval forest?" ”
"The mutation has spread all over the world, and Xiao Ling'er has also reached the age of cultivation, I brought her over, hunted some fierce beasts, found some treasure medicine, and baptized her." On the side, Li Tong heard Hu Xia's question and replied.
"Did you find it?" Hu Xia asked, and then he laughed at himself, if he had already found all of them, why did this old and young man continue to search in this deep mountain?
"It's not close, but it's enough." Li Tong sighed softly, seemed to be a little unwilling, walked over and touched Lingling's head with a doting face, and continued, "Xiao Ling'er's parents died when she was a child, and she is a hard-working person. This girl is the best martial arts talent in my clan, and it is also the hope of my clan to break through the innate in the future, so this time I came out to hunt fierce beasts and find treasure medicine, I hope to find some good ones, my old bones, it is estimated that it will not be long before I live. ”
"Grandpa!" Lingling raised her head and looked at Li Tong, her big eyes were filled with tears, she grew up with her grandfather since she was a child, in the village, although everyone loved her, but her father's love and mother's love had never been had.
Hu Xia pondered, this Li Tong can tell him so much, I am afraid that he also fell in love with the single horn on the top of the stone python's head, this giant python is about to step into the innate realm, called the beast king, and the single horn on the top of its head is the essence of the giant python's body.
"It seems that this Li Tong is playing this one-horned idea." Thinking of this, Hu Xia didn't hesitate, took out a palm-sized jade bone from his pocket and handed it to Li Tong, "Grandpa Li, I also love Xiao Ling'er very much, this bone is the single horn I took off from the head of the giant python after I killed it, I don't know how to use it, so give it to Lingling!" ”
This jade bone was cut off by Hu Xia from the single horn on the head of the giant python, and after it was cleaned, it looked good-looking and put it in his pocket, but he didn't know what this jade bone was.
Li Tong looked at the crystal clear jade bone in Hu Xia's hand, and the excitement in his eyes was overflowing, "Xiao Ling'er, thank you brother." ”
Lingling looked at the jade bone in front of her, and was also extremely happy, when she took out the jade bone from Hu Xia, she liked this bone, although this is the bone of a giant python, but this bone, crystal clear, there seems to be a small fairy aura inside, extremely strange.
"This, this thing is so precious, I can't ask for it." Although she liked it very much, Lingling still refused, she heard her grandfather say that the giant python was a fierce beast at the peak of the tenth layer of the day after tomorrow, and it must have paid a great price if Hu Xia could kill it.
"Silly girl." Hu Xia took Lingling's hand, regardless of Lingling's objections, put the jade bone in Lingling's hand, and then showed a smile, "This thing is useless to me, when you become a master of the innate realm in the future, you can protect your brother!" ”
"Xiao Ling'er, just take it!" Li Tong looked at the little girl in front of her, and was anxious on the side, this is the main medicine for her to refine her body and step into cultivation, if she misses it, I don't know how long she will have to look for it, for a while, he really wants to turn into Lingling himself and accept Hu Xia's gift.
"Take it!" Hu Xia said to Lingling, for some reason, he also liked the little girl in front of him, as if he gave her this jade bone to make him feel at ease.
"Well, thank you, brother!" Lingling finally took over the jade bone and kept playing with it in her hand and studying it.
"Thank you, little friend. If Lingling sets foot in the future to be born, Xiaoyou will be the benefactor of my Li clan! Li Tong saluted Hu Xia and said.
"What did Grandpa Li say?" Hu Xia hurriedly dodged away, and did not accept Li Tong's salute, but asked with a puzzled expression, "The Li clan you are talking about, is it convenient to introduce it?" ”
"It's really a long story to say that the child has no mother!" Li Tong sighed, as if remembering something, and then walked to the barbecue again, and sat down without any image.
Lingling looked at Li Tong, who did not have the slightest image, and there was a hint of incredibleness in her eyes, in his eyes, her grandfather, who had always said everything, began to let go of himself at this moment, she had seen it for more than ten years.
Hu Xia also walked back, put the skewers that were already a little cold on the fire again and simmered, and didn't speak, quietly waiting for Li Tong's words.
The old man thought for a long time, and finally spoke, "My Li clan inherited the Chiyou clan in ancient times, and I am the descendant of Chiyou. Li Tong paused, as if organizing the language, he glanced at Hu Xia and Lingling, who were like good students next to him, and continued, "Chiyou and Xuanyuan fought for the position of human emperor, and started a big battle, and in that battle, the world was reversed, and the sun and the moon were ...... light."
"Grandpa, you talk about it well, add so many adjectives, and you seem to be involved!" Lingling had a black line on her face and decisively interrupted Li Tong's words.
"You girl, can't you save some face for grandpa?" Li Tong pretended to be angry and glared at Lingling for a while.
"I've heard this story 800 times, and everyone in the flower family knows it!" Lingling retorted.
Hu Xia watched the old and the young arguing on the side, and did not speak, he naturally knew that after Chi You was defeated, he was buried by the emperor, and then the emperor soared, leaving only the legend of the emperor in the world.
"After the defeat of Chiyou, Xuanyuan Yellow Emperor did not kill them all, but exiled the Chiyou people to these 100,000 mountains, which have been passed down to this day." Li Tong spoke very simply, and said that he and Lingling are the descendants of Chiyou.
Hu Xia was silent, as if thinking about something, and after a while, he asked, "So, Chiyou is also a human race?" ”
"Naturally, it is a human race, and only a human race can compete for the position of human emperor!" Li Tong replied, he looked at Hu Xia with some doubts, the two words of the human race, and put a question mark in his heart.
"Brother, don't bother with him, my grandfather likes to talk nonsense." Lingling heard that Hu Xia actually believed Li Tong a little, and couldn't help but remind.
"You girl, your elbow is turned out, the girl is not staying, and you don't want a grandfather if you have a brother?" Li Tong blew her beard and glared at Lingling, but Lingling was not only not afraid, but made a grimace at Li Tong, and Li Tong's face changed.
Obviously, this is not the first time that the old and the young have quarreled like this.
"I forgot, what's wrong? Will I marry Brother Hu when I grow up in the future? Lingling suddenly felt that she had spoken the truth, her face turned red instantly, and she hurriedly lowered her head, and then she secretly glanced at Hu Xia, and saw that Hu Xia didn't seem to hear it, and was still sitting in a daze, and hurriedly lowered her head, and a little loss flashed in her heart.
"You little girl, you're only twelve years old and you're thinking about getting married, who dares to ask you for your rude and willful temper?"
Lingling did not answer.
Li Tong suddenly opened his half-squinted eyes, looked at Hu Xia who was in a daze, and then looked at Lingling who was shy and bowed her head, and instantly understood.
Li Tong picked up a skewer of barbecue from the fire, but it was not too hot, and ate it in a big gulp.
After a long time, Hu Xia opened his mouth and asked again, "Then where did Xuanyuan Yellow Emperor go?" Why do you still take so many land immortals? ”
"I wasn't born in that era, how do I know?" Li Tong didn't raise his head, and replied directly, as if his attention was on the skewer of barbecue at the moment.
"Xiao Xia, why are you in this big mountain?" Li Tong asked softly.
"I went out on a trip with my friends, caught up with the mutation, and was trapped here!" Hu Xia was absent-minded and seemed to be thinking about something.
"Are those friends of yours already...?" Li Tong asked softly, his face was somewhat serious, from the beginning of the change to the present, too many people have died in the flower planter and even in the world.
"They're fine, in a safe place, I'll go out and explore the way, and find something to eat again!" Hu Xia hurriedly explained.
Hearing Hu Xia speak, Lingling slowly raised her head, but the red cloud on her face had not disappeared, she looked at Hu Xia, then at Li Tong, and whispered, "Grandpa, you give the map to your brother, let them go home quickly." ”
"Well, I have a hand-drawn map, which I drew after entering the mountain, marking the territory of some fierce beasts, although it is not comprehensive, but it is enough for you to go out." With that, Li Tong took out a plastic bag from his pocket and handed it to Hu Xia.
"Thank you, Grandpa Li!" Hu Xia was overjoyed in his heart, with the map and the distribution of the fierce beasts, they would definitely be able to get out of the mountain soon.
"And thank me!" Lingling said with a smile on the side.
"Uh-huh, thank you Xiao Ling'er too!"
"Hee-hee!"
Hu Xia picked up a skewer of barbecue, it was not too hot, he opened his mouth and bit it, for a while, Hu Xia only felt that it was so delicious that he even had to swallow it with his tongue.
"Hehe, brother, slow down." Lingling took out a handkerchief and gently wiped the grease stains from the corners of Hu Xia's mouth.
After a long time, the three of them finally eliminated the hundreds of catties of barbecue, Hu Xia only felt that the barbecue he ate in his stomach turned into energy and circulated in his body, but his flesh had been strengthened to the extreme, and he could no longer absorb a single bit.
In the end, Hu Xia controlled the energy to rush towards the vortex in his heart, and the vortex did not refuse, and quickly absorbed the energy.
"Xiao Ling'er, it's time for us to go!" Li Tong saw Hu Xia's success, a trace of caution flashed in his eyes, in Hu Xia's body, he actually felt a trace of threat, you must know that he is a half-step innate realm powerhouse, and the only one who can threaten him is probably only a master or an innate master in the same realm.
"I don't, I'm going to go with my brother." Lingling stood up and made her position clear.
"No way!" There was a rare seriousness in Li Tong's tone, and he continued with a dark face, "Let's go back immediately, and when we get to the village, we will immediately arrange for you to wash your body, and you are now following him, and you are just a drag oil bottle." ”
"Go back, wait until you cultivate to the innate realm, and then come to protect me!" Hu Xia also helped Li Tong persuade on the side.
"Okay, brother, you have to take care of yourself, don't forget Xiao Ling'er!" Lingling looked at Hu Xia with wide eyes, and there seemed to be mist in her eyes.
"Don't worry, I'll remember you!" Hu Xia rubbed Lingling's head dotingly, and then said to Li Tong, "Grandpa Li, take care!" ”
"Well, let's go!" Li Tong took Lingling's arm, dodged a few times, and left, and a crying word came out from the dense mountain forest, echoing in the air.
"Brother, you have to wait for me!"
Young people make the most promises.
Hu Xia didn't answer, after the two left, Hu Xia opened the plastic bag, in addition to a simple map, there was also a book "Glimpse", he opened the book, flipped through it, this is an acquired realm of light body exercises, practice to the high and profound realm, can fly short distances.
Hu Xia inevitably has some expectations in his heart, and flying in the air on his own is probably the dream of countless people. It took Hu Xia some time to memorize the exercises completely, and then he picked up the long knife and continued on the road with the hairball.
Hu Xia didn't know how far he had gone, he stood on a hill, only to see that the afterglow of the setting sun had been sprinkled, and the entire primeval forest seemed to turn into an orange sea.
He looked up, and that day, it was so tall, so blue, it looked unattainable.
The corners of Hu Xia's mouth raised slightly, as if hundreds of millions of years had passed, and he said to the front, "Orange Sea, I saw it!" ”
