Chapter 20: On the Remnant Flower Road, I See the Soul Again
Remnant flower road, the wind swept through the field.
At noon, the sunlight seemed very weak, and the sky was shrouded in a layer of pale gray mist, which seemed to indicate that this side of the world was not normal.
A wooden horse pulled a wagon and walked slowly on the remnant flower road.
On both sides are sparse woods, and occasionally you can see fallen leaves flying, falling to the ground, and making a struggle, as if the soul is unwilling to die and dissipate.
In the carriage, Yang Xiaoyang withdrew his right palm that was pressed on Zhao Poyu's forehead, and exhaled softly, extremely exhausted physically and mentally.
The black aura on Zhao Poyu's face gradually subsided, and once again it was a little rosy, turning back to its normal color.
Yang Xiaoyang's eyes closed slightly, driving the aura in the spiritual sea and forcibly suppressing a stream of demonic qi surging in his body.
In the battle of the ancient sword mound, he was also injured by the demonic qi of a monster of the rank of Zhu Immortal.
He couldn't get rid of this demonic energy, so he could only suppress it with his own aura.
And every time Zhao Poyu continued his life with aura, when the aura in his body decreased sharply, the damage of the demonic qi to him would increase by one point.
It's just that Yang Xiaoyang didn't dare to inform Zhao Poyu of this matter, otherwise, with Zhao Poyu's upright character, he would definitely refuse to use his aura to renew his life.
In this way, it would be impossible for Zhao Poyu to reach the Tianshan Medicine Valley alive.
Going to Tianshan Yao Valley to heal was Zhao Poyu's suggestion, as a disciple of Tianshan Mountain, he knew that in the whole world, among the known aliens, only Yao Lao could save him.
Therefore, after clearing the demonic qi in the four children's bodies and handing it over to Bi Feiying, Yang Xiaoyang took Zhao Poyu and hurried on the road.
It's been a bumpy ride, and it's been four days.
"Yang Xiaoyang, I feel that the speed of the demonic qi in my body is getting faster and faster, and the spiritual energy you have injected into me is also increasing." Zhao Poyu said a little weakly.
"The monsters of the Immortal level in the Ancient Sword Shrine are indeed powerful, and every time the aura injected into you is injected, it will be devoured by the demonic qi in less than twenty-four hours."
"If you hadn't used your aura to renew my life, I would have been dead for many days." Zhao Poyu looked grateful.
Yang Xiaoyang chuckled, "Brother of life and death, how can you talk about the word labor?" Zhao Poyu, you are too outward. ”
Zhao Poyu also smiled slightly, "Yes! We are brothers in life and death, not born at the same time, but almost died at the same time. ”
"So, like Fang Cai's kind words, I won't say them in the future." Yang Xiaoyang said with a smile.
Zhao Poyu smiled "haha", "Okay, listen to you, don't talk about it." ”
"I've been thinking about a question."
"You want to know who is the person who secretly rescued us at the exit of the Uchizuka, right?" Zhao Poyu guessed Yang Xiaoyang's mind at once.
Yang Xiaoyang nodded, "Although his figure is extremely fast, I can still vaguely see that this person is very similar to the middle-aged man who was with the monster who robbed the law field that day." ”
"You read that right?"
"There can be no mistake."
"This is strange, since he robbed the Dharma Field with the monsters, he is by no means a kind and righteous person, but why did he help us?"
"I'm afraid there is something hidden in this, but fortunately he made a move, otherwise you and I would definitely not be able to get out of the way."
Yang Xiaoyang did not inform Zhao Poyu of the suspicions in his heart, and this matter could only be left to be investigated slowly in the future.
"Although he died nine times in his life, he managed to rescue four children, and at this time, Bi Feiying must have handed over these children to their parents." Zhao Poyu said.
"It's a pity that there are still twelve children trapped in it, and I can already sense their vitality. If they can't be rescued in time, once the three-year period expires and they enter the Demon Boy level, they will become human demon cultivators and can only be killed. ”
"I only hate that I am not good at learning and being injured by monsters, if not, I will break into the ancient sword mound with you again." There is a lot of self-reproach in the words.
"You don't have to blame yourself, the demons of the Nine Great Immortal Rank have been alarmed, and you and I are definitely not their opponents when they join forces, even if they break through again, they can't save those children, this matter can only be discussed in the long run."
"But time waits for no one! There is only half a year left until the end of the three-year period. Zhao Poyu said helplessly.
Yang Xiaoyang smiled slightly, "Don't worry, there must be a road before the car reaches the mountain, and there will always be a way." What I'm most worried about now is Zhao Huaijie and Lord Zhao. ”
Zhao Poyu's expression became even more worried when he heard this, "Lord Zhao went to Xiqi to ask for guilt, and the outcome was unpredictable. ”
"Lord Zhao is Lord Ji's retainer, even if he goes against Lord Ji's intentions, it is expected that he will not really be disposed of."
"I'm not worried about what Ji-sama will do." Zhao Poyu said.
"And who are you worried about?" Yang Xiaoyang asked.
"Yang Xiaoyang, you often live in a quiet place, I don't know that today's officialdom, the monarch and the people are light, and the officials protect each other, like Lord Zhao, it is really different. I'm worried about the second eldest of the Shu family, Shu Daozu, he is an official in the imperial court, and his official rank is not low, if he comes forward, even if Lord Ji wants to protect Lord Zhao, I'm afraid he won't be able to keep it. ”
"What's more, Lord Ji, as a doctor of Xiqiqing, has close contacts with the ministers of the DPRK and China, and he will not necessarily offend the powerful Shu family because of a small Yi Zai." Yang Xiaoyang said.
"Exactly, this is the worst outcome, if Lord Ji doesn't protect him, but instead punishes a crime of rebellion, then Lord Zhao will only have a dead end."
"Lord Zhao must not die." Yang Xiaoyang said in a resolute tone, "I wrote the letter to Lord Zhao to deal with Uncle Fugui, and Lord Zhao did this to fulfill his promise to Yao Fu for me. If Lord Zhao is in danger, I will definitely save him. ”
"Lord Zhao is dedicated to the people, and he has the grace of knowing me, if he is in trouble, I will never sit idly by." Zhao Poyu's tone was also firm.
"There are ghosts." Yang Xiaoyang suddenly sensed a cold ghost aura coming.
The heart was inducted, and the aura broke out of the body to form an enchantment, and the person had lifted the curtain and came out.
"Woooooooooooooo
With a burst of screaming and crying, Tianyan saw a middle-aged female ghost floating in the air.
And in a small wood, not far from the right side of the carriage, there was a new grave, in front of which burnt paper ashes were scattered in the wind.
This woman seems to have just died.
"Wronged souls?"
Yang Xiaoyang frowned tightly, people are dead, there must be a big grievance.
The ghosts drifted farther and farther away, and the sad sounds were endless, and the smell was heart-wrenching.
Suddenly, a black gas struck in the distance, and the ghost disappeared as if it had been grabbed by something.
The distance was too far, and Yang Xiaoyang didn't know what was going on.
Returning to the carriage, Yang Xiaoyang sighed lightly, "Another unjust soul, and the resentment of death will not disappear." ”
"There are many souls in troubled times, although you and I are cultivators and have the ability to do things, but we can't manage these things, and we can't save all the people who save us." Zhao Poyu said, his tone sad.
"Rest assured, this world will change one day." Yang Xiaoyang said.
