Chapter 67: Ice and Flame

I don't know how to spend this night, I woke up at dawn on the shore of the water, presumably the one-horned monster came out of the water last night, Xiao Qing woke up and looked at the water surface in a daze, the Tianxuan bead that rose in the air last night was still hanging in the sky.

The blind man had also woken up, he didn't make any sound, but he had already sensed that Xiao Qingqian was sitting motionless next to him, so he just kept lying quietly, anyway, it didn't hurt him to stay or lie down all the time.

Time passed, there was no change of light and shadow in the whole astrolabe, but there was night and day, there was no sign of other living creatures here, but there were sand, stones, water, wind, fog and ice, barren, pale, desolate, without a trace of color. At first, Xiao Qingqian thought that she would be able to leave here in three days, but now how many three days and three days have passed, and the day she will go out is still far away, how did she fall into such a situation, is it a mistake or a premeditated plan?

The water seemed to be flowing, and the Tianxuanzhu was still in the sky, Xiao Qingqian turned around and said to the blind man: "I still want to continue walking, until I reach the end of this world, until I find the exit, I don't have an astrolabe, maybe I can't fulfill the promise to take you out, so now you make a decision, whether you want to continue walking with me, or if you have other ideas, you can put it forward." ”

The blind man was still expressionless, not knowing if he was thinking or had other plans, and after a long time, he said, "Continue with you." ”

Xiao Qingqian was still very happy to hear the blind man say this, but she still wanted to confirm again: "Are you sure?" There could be a lot of danger ahead, like last night. ”

The blind man had already heard the change in her mood from Xiao Qingqian's two words, she was looking forward to it but seemed a little worried, and how far she could go as a powerless girl, wasn't it obvious to accompany her forward. "Don't you want to leave? Today is a waste of half the day. The blind man prompted, and also made his own decision.

"Uh...... "It's time to go, but where are you going now?" Xiao Qingqian looked around, I don't remember how I got here last night, I don't care about it for now, "Why don't we go along the waterfront and go against the water?" ”

The blind man nodded.

Just as they walked out not far away, a small and faint voice suddenly came from behind them: "Lord Xiao! Lord Xiao! Wait for me! Wait for me! Xiao Qingqian didn't hear this shout at all, but the blind man heard it really and stopped.

"What's wrong?" Xiao Qingqian couldn't understand why the blind man suddenly didn't leave.

The blind man didn't respond but turned sideways, waiting for the thing that made a sound to come, Xiao Qingqian looked in that direction, isn't this the little branch, I don't know when it was lost in the sandstorm maelstrom, I didn't expect it to chase over, Xiao Qingqian saw it jump over, quite funny, how could there be such an interesting branch.

Xiao Qingqian squatted down and waited for it to come over, "I said Xiaomuzhi, are you planning to follow me for the rest of your life?" ”

The little wooden branch jumped in front of Xiao Qingqian, and complained a little: "Lord Xiao, you can't just leave me in the future." ”

"Lord Xiao? Ha ha...... I said, why did you suddenly speak with this little branch, or did you drink my blood and make you more and more spiritual? ”

"Of course, Xiao Muzhi has to follow Master Xiao for the rest of his life."

"Okay, Ben-sama will take you with me."

Xiao Qingqian took Xiao Muzhi and the blind man and continued to walk along the waterbank, Xiao Muzhi seemed to have an impression of this place, and said in Xiao Qingqian's hand: "At the end of this river is the Death Pool, where you can see the past life and the next life. ”

"It's so amazing, how did you find out?"

"My lord, I have been here when I was a wandering ghost."

"Oh? Then how did you become a little branch again? ”

"It's a long story, we wandering souls are rootless souls, they can only float around and finally dissipate with the wind, and then I floated to the thousands of city walls and was held by the star soul general, blocked in the dead wood, and then I turned into a sharp arrow and sucked the blood of adults, so I parasitized in this small dead wood branch, and now I can restore the whole soul because of the adults."

"So, do you know where the exit of the astrolabe is?"

"I don't know about this little wooden branch, but I heard that the exit is guarded by the most powerful, violent and miserable demon lord, and it is impossible for any demon or beast to escape from him, and it may be very difficult for you to get out."

Xiao Muzhi's words made Xiao Qingqian fall into deep thought, if the demon lord guarding the exit of the astrolabe refused to let her out, I remember that when Master Guangchen got her in, he seemed to have said that if he wanted to go out, he would find his apprentice, it seems that the most important thing is to find Master Guangchen's apprentice, Xiao Qingqian continued to ask: "You know so much, then have you heard of a young mage?" It was the one who escaped from the thousands of city walls, and was praised by the Star Soul General for his powerful spells. ”

"Of course I do!" Xiao Muzhi raised his voice, "He's the famous Demon Lord in the astrolabe." ”

Xiao Qingqian couldn't believe it, "Wouldn't it? He is the apprentice of Master Guangchen, how can he say that he should be a decent person on the surface, how did he become a demon lord? ”

"The world of the astrolabe has also undergone great changes, and he naturally became a demon lord after defeating the former demon lord, but he is even more brutal than the former demon lord, the human domain, the beast domain, the soul demon domain, and the fallen god domain in the astrolabe are still safe, and now they are all in chaos."

"What's going on? Tell me about it. Xiao Qing was overjoyed, he finally encountered a situation in the other world of the astrolabe, but after thinking about it, it didn't seem right, "The four domains of the human domain, the beast domain, the soul and demon domain, and the fallen god domain?" Didn't the mermaid queen say that there were six realms of astrolabe before, how did it become the four realms? What a sea change is this? ”

"Yes, sir! These six worlds are divided into six worlds: gods, demons, immortals, demons, people, and ghosts, and the same is true in the astrolabe, and now the demon lord has seized power from all walks of life, in addition to the mermaid queen, she can also control the human domain, and all walks of life have long been reversed, and demons and demons are mixed up, and there is no absolute boundary, just like you as a human can only stay in the human domain, but now you can appear in the soul and demon domain. ”

Now Xiao Qingqian listened even more blindly, what she heard just now has completely subverted her cognition, let's not go into detail, leaving here and returning to the world is the right way.

As he walked, the sound of running water became louder and louder, and there was a lake in front of him, and the lake was glowing with white light from a distance, and there was smoke and smoke, and there were mountains around it, like a fairyland land, "Little wooden branch, this should be what you call the rebirth pool." ”

"That's right, sir."

"But what are we going to do here?"

"After the Afterlife Pool, it is the Soul Demon and the Fallen God Domain."

"Really? It seems that we are really getting closer and closer to the exit. Xiao Qingqian completely ignited his confidence at this moment, and sped up, and the blind man naturally followed all the way behind.

This rebirth pool is not too big, about fifty meters in diameter, Xiao Qingqian is still very confident that she can swim over, of course, she is not worried that the blind man can't swim over, in order to escape from those flying fish in Xinghu before, he not only learned to swim, but diving for more than ten meters is not a problem. After Xiao Qingqian warmed up on the shore of the water, he coiled up his hair, inserted a small wooden branch between his hair, and prepared to take the blind man to swim over.

Just as she was about to enter the water, Xiao Muzhi suddenly stopped her head, "My lord! You're not really going to go over, are you? This is not an ordinary pool of water, the ordinary body can't withstand it at all, don't look at it is just a small pool of water, although you can see the past in the next life, in the past, you have to endure the pain of burning your body and ice to your bones, this is only physical, not to mention the torture that the soul has to endure. ”

"So what, there's no turning back for us again." Xiao Qingqian had already decided to go over, but she still asked the blind man: "Blind, can you do it?" ”

"Needless to say."

"Okay, let's go." Xiao Qingqian said and pulled up the blind man and walked to the pool together, of course, she was also very careful to walk in front to try, the pool water was cool, there were no obstacles at the bottom of the pool, and the smoke did not completely block the view, and more importantly, after walking through a third of the pool, the water was only as deep as a thigh, I thought that the bottomless water should be very deep, it seems that it is not as mysterious as Xiao Muzhi said, just ordinary water.

Just as Xiao Qingqian slowly relaxed his vigilance, the pool seemed to have changed, no, it should be that the whole person seemed to have been suddenly drained of strength, his head was dizzy, his eyes became more and more difficult to see, and his steps became heavier, Xiao Qingqian stopped and wanted to adjust for a moment, but he didn't expect the blind man behind him to suddenly hold his head and moan, very painful.

Xiao Qingqian turned around and supported him, "How are you?" ”

"Ahh The blind man started uncontrollably, like crazy, desperately struggling, suddenly slapping the water indiscriminately, splashing everywhere, suddenly holding his head and yelling, scratching his hair, his face was covered with blood, and suddenly he sank into the water and rolled and tore, making a fuss about the river and the sea, Xiao Qingqian was also panicked when he looked at it, and he couldn't calm down the blind man at all, while the blind man floated out of the water, she hugged him in the past, "Blind man...... Don't be like this, calm down, calm down, we, it's okay, we'll definitely pass. ”

Xiao Qingqian hugged him tightly, for fear that he would go crazy again, the blind man's body trembled slightly, he was very thin, Xiao Qingqian could still touch his ribs through his clothes, and his face was bleeding, which flowed out of his eyes. Under a moment of calmness, the water under his feet became cold, cold to the heart, and the blind man was even more cold into icicles, stiff, but the water did not freeze, and Xiao Qingqian, who still retained the last trace of sober consciousness, had to carry the blind man and stumble forward.

"If you don't have the will, how can you get out alive." Xiao Qingqian himself was already dizzy, and he didn't forget to cheer himself up, gritted his teeth and walked forward with the blind man step by step, seeing that he was about to reach the shore, who knew that the calm water surface suddenly set off a huge wave, the water was like hot lime water, pouring in, and suddenly it was a pain of skin and flesh, the cold of the heart of the ice cone under his feet, and the burning of the fire on his head, Xiao Qingqian was already relying on the last trace of qi to support herself, and another wave hit, she was directly lifted into the water.

The blind man was already so uncomfortable and painful that he lost consciousness and fell into a coma, and without Xiao Qingqian's support, he also fell into the water, where would the waves that rose from the bottom of the water take them?
