04 A father's heart
Chengfeng heard Jielan say this, thinking that this was exactly what he meant, and when he was about to agree, he immediately objected after hearing it: "This is not good, don't you remember that the Taoist priest in the Black Qu Cave said that he would collect all your seven blood demons?" As long as they gather all of you, they can gather the power of your seven blood demons together, and at that time, I'm afraid there will be no power in this world that can be compared to it, so whether it is Chengfeng or you, you must return to the royal city, only by returning to your own territory can you do what you want, if you continue to stay here, you will only put your life in the hands of others, you know? Regret said very sincerely, whether it was Jielan or Chengfeng, it seemed that he was very concerned, this kind of care has gone beyond the care of ordinary relationships, he looked at Jielan's worried look, his heart suddenly softened again, and he only said: "Okay, let's do it, after I send you out of this Heimu County safely, I will try to rescue your one named Qingmeng, so that you can finally rest assured!" ”
Jielan didn't know what to say, she always felt that the sloppy and casual man in front of her was not so simple, why did he treat himself like this, why was he always so clear about his own affairs in his words, who was he?
Jielan approached Regret, only a stone's throw away from him, which made Regret a little uncomfortable, and when she was about to retreat, she was grabbed by Jielan, and she asked firmly: "I'll ask you one last time, who are you?" Why is it so good to me? ”
Facing Jielan's eyes so earnestly, regret was really a little overwhelmed, he wanted to break free of Jielan's hand, but was dragged by Jielan and couldn't get out, regret met Jielan's questioning eyes, he was really a little flustered, he swallowed: "I... Didn't I say that a long time ago? I'm just a bum, hunting demons everywhere and meddling in my business, and I don't deserve such a question from a princess. ”
"This is the last time I ask you, if you don't say it this time, I won't ask it again in the future, even if you plan to tell me again one day, I won't listen to it again, let alone believe it again, do you understand?" Jielan's decisive words are not joking, since she said so, she will definitely do so, she hopes that the man in front of her can tell her the answer, and she also hopes that the person in front of her can be honest.
He didn't know what to say, but he didn't know if he could tell Jielan, but he didn't know if he could tell Jielan, but this secret has been buried in his heart for more than ten years, he is just a person who has disappeared for more than ten years, and now what qualifications does he have to tell Jielan everything again, and what qualifications do he have to make her sad for herself again, he only hopes that she can be well, this is his only wish to live. Regret turned around, pulled her hand out of Jielan's hand, and said: "I still say that, I call regret, I'm just a prodigal, not worth the princess's concern, and when the princess returns to the royal city, I believe she will soon forget me." ”
I don't know why, when she heard the answer of regret, she felt very disappointed, and her heart was a little painful, because she always felt that regret was her father who had been missing for more than ten years, although she felt that this was also her wishful thinking, but I don't know why, Jielan was very willing to believe in her own thoughts like this, she wanted to get such an answer from his mouth, but the other party never admitted it, maybe it was her own illusion from the beginning, she smiled miserably, and said, "Is it?" That's fine, I'm very grateful for the help of my predecessors, and I'll be grateful if I have the opportunity in the future. Jielan turned around and wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes.
And just as a few people were talking, they heard the abbot of the temple outside the house walk in in a panic, the abbot was dressed in a yellow robe, holding Buddhist beads, as soon as he walked in, he said to Jielan and a few people: "Donors quickly leave the temple and run for your life, a group of officers and soldiers came down the mountain, presumably for a few donors, these officers and soldiers are violent, the donor is better to avoid, so as not to cause more trouble." ”
As soon as he heard the abbot's briefing, he was a little anxious, and he hurriedly said: "Without further ado, let's leave now, and the sooner we leave Heimu County, the better." He said to the abbot: "I don't know if the abbot has any place to retreat here, so we will leave so as not to bring blood and light to this temple." ”
The abbot thought for a while, and hurriedly said: "You can leave from our back mountain, there is a very hidden road in the back mountain, and few people generally know that there is a canyon when you go down the mountain, although it is a little dangerous, but it should not be discovered by these officers and soldiers." ”
Since there was a way out, several people no longer considered it, and bowed to the abbot with regret, saying, "Then I will bother the abbot to send someone to lead us over." ”
The abbot made a gesture and hurriedly asked the little novice behind him to take them away, and the little novice only said, "Please come with me, donors!" Then he led Jielan and a few people to walk out, a few people out of the temple, and then to the back mountain, after they climbed the back mountain, the mountain behind it is really a canyon, the road is narrow and dangerous, a little carelessness is afraid that you will fall into the cliff. And this canyon was too narrow to fly away on mounts, so they had to walk through, they had experienced all kinds of dangers, and they didn't take this danger to heart, and the little novice could only take it here and leave.
Although it was dangerous, several people did not hesitate, and immediately went down the hill and walked towards the cliff valley, where the path was only two palms wide, and the canyon was so narrow that it was only as wide as the mouth of a barrel.
Jielan walked on the path, almost with their backs against the stone wall, and their feet trembled slightly, and the stone soil couldn't help but fall into the deep valley.
A few people walked cautiously, and when they were halfway through the canyon, they could hear a hoarse bird call in the sky, and several people looked up, but saw that it was the skeleton demon hovering in the sky, it seemed that they were here to investigate their traces, regret and hurriedly leaned Jielan and a few people into the cliff with their hands, hoping to let the cliff above the canyon cover their figures and not be discovered. However, the skeleton demon seemed to have smelled the smell of Jielan, because Jielan was a blood demon, and the smell of its body was different from that of mortals.
It was a little difficult for a few people to stand on top of this cliff valley, how could they fight with this demon, but Jielan knew in her heart that she must not let this skeleton demon find out about their figure, she summoned spiritual power, and said to regret: "You take them away first, and I will deal with this demon." ”
She didn't think much about it, she jumped under her feet, flew into the air alone, and brandished the blue moon blade to slash at the head and neck of the skeleton demon, but the skeleton demon opened her white bone right hand, aimed at Jielan's eyebrows, and released a miasma, Jielan was busy covering her nose with her sleeve, so as not to inhale the miasma poisoning, she took the lead in this cover of the skeleton demon, and swooped down and ordered the skeleton bird to grab the top of Jielan's head, Jielan was so busy raising her sword to fight, but the strength of the skeleton bird was quite strong, so that Jielan's whole body couldn't make the strength out, What's more, she was suspended in the air, and there was no support point under her feet, so she couldn't get lower than the skeleton demon, and when she was pressed like this by this skeleton bird, her body involuntarily fell into the deep valley.
This time it was really out of regret Chengfeng's expectations, and regret didn't have time to think about it, he jumped into the deep valley, and chased after Jielan who fell, hoping to save her, but if he couldn't catch Jielan, I was afraid that even he himself would die without a place to bury.
Chengfeng and Tianling saw Jielan fall into the cliff valley, they were all pale with fright, and both wanted to jump down to save Jielan, but the canyon was narrow, and one more person going down would get in the way, so the two of them could only stay on it. And the skeleton demon was knocked down from the cliff valley, and he was also very happy, and he was ready to go back and inform his master. Seeing this, Chengfeng thought that if someone knew that they were in this canyon, then I was afraid that there was really only a dead end.
Chengfeng flew into the air and chased after the skeleton demon, and when the skeleton demon saw that someone was chasing, he turned back and wanted to continue the battle with Chengfeng, and it swung the black long sword like this, and summoned evil energy to attack Chengfeng. Chengfeng summoned the Yanlin Sword and used the sword to block the top of his head, blocking the evil energy.
Chengfeng was originally a white devil and had the power of purification, so the evil qi of this skeleton demon was contaminated with his sword, but it was not of much use, not to mention that the power of a skeleton demon was too weak compared to the power of Chengfeng. Seeing that he couldn't get any benefits, the skeleton demon was suddenly a little scared, and he was so busy turning around that he was about to escape. Chengfeng was willing to let him escape, and immediately jumped up, he jumped on the back of the skeleton demon in a few ups and downs, and when the skeleton demon was about to make a move on Chengfeng, Chengfeng's right hand was together, and he directly slashed the back of the skeleton demon's heart, and suddenly the skeleton demon's soul was purified by Chengfeng's Yanlin sword, and the skeleton demon who lost his soul instantly turned into a pile of useless white bones, and the white bones broke into limbs and flew down from the air.
After cleaning up the skeleton demon, Chengfeng returned to the path on the canyon, he looked at the bottom of the valley, but he didn't see Jielan's figure, his heart was so nervous that he almost felt like he was about to suffocate, he nervously asked Tianling, "How are they?" Haven't seen it yet? ”
Tianling was also worried, afraid that something would happen to Jielan, and the black pig and Qi Xue on the side had already begun to sobble quietly, afraid that Jielan would be in a catastrophe this time and would not be rescued.
When they flew back to the canyon, they regretted that they also hugged Jielan with one hand, and protected her in their arms, so that she was not hurt at all, and their left and right arms were covered with wounds, and the skin in some places was worn off by the stone wall, and both arms were drenched in blood, which made people feel distressed when they looked at it.
