Chapter 45: I suddenly don't want to die like this
When I left the polder city, the twilight was four, and the small city in the mountains and forests ushered in the lights of thousands of homes, and gradually regained its vitality.
After experiencing five death cycle illusions, it's impossible not to be afraid. Huo Rongdong walked on the green path, only to feel like a dream.
Now that she closes her eyes, she can still recall the hideous facial features of the Han family, and she can still feel the fear of dying.
Fortunately, the immortal weapon that caused the illusion had been subdued by Qi Ci and placed in the storage bag properly.
Huo Rendong was a little stunned, and said with emotion: "The bumpy road to cultivating immortals is unheard of, and it is difficult for mortals to imagine at all. ”
"The hardest thing I ever experienced in Xiaocao Village was when I was seven years old, when the village was hit by a severe drought and the crops in the fields were reduced."
Qi Ci, who was walking beside her, quietly glanced at it and said, "I started learning swords when I was seven years old, and people are not as tall as wooden swords. ”
Huo Rendong: "When I was ten years old, my father and mother died of an epidemic, and I was the only one left in the family. ”
Qi Ci: "At the age of thirteen, my father and mother led the disciples of the righteous path to the black domain to strengthen the sealing seal, the mission failed, no one returned, and the Qi family died so that I was the only one left, and I became the thorn in the side of all the family sects." ”
"At the age of twenty, I have repelled dozens of assassinations and attacks. My arm was cut off and reconnected, and I suffered all the injuries imaginable in the world, and I could only sleep on the roof in the middle of the night. ”
"At the age of eighty, in the late stage of the achievement of Jindan, the Tianyan Sect sent me to strengthen the sealing seal, but I didn't expect that there were nearly a hundred demon cultivators in the Black Domain, and I slaughtered them all by myself. After returning, no one in Bai Yujing dared to provoke me again. ”
"At the age of a hundred years, the master sat down, I no longer had any worries, and I left the sect to travel around looking for a way to detoxify. In fact, it is also because the head of the family is jealous and has no place to stay, they are afraid that I will degenerate into a demon who kills people without blinking, and it is better to stay away from Bai Yujing. ”
She looked up at Qi Ci.
The young man also looked down at her and showed a smile: "The past is gone, and the future will be fine." ”
She froze and looked at his handsome and resolute face.
Although Huo Rendong's family is poor and lonely, he has been cared for by the villagers since he was a child, and he is favored by God, cherishing herbs that can be picked everywhere, and he has never been worried about his livelihood.
But Qi Ci is different, although he was born in a Xiuzhen family and is the little uncle of Tianyan Sect, he grew up in the sword mountain and the sea of fire, open and secret battles. Countless people want his life and want him to die.
Huo Rongdong suddenly asked, "Childe, what is in your illusion?" ”
Qi Ci's eyebrows moved, and his tone was flat: "I dreamed of a scene when I was thirteen years old. My father and mother and relatives all died in the black domain, and they were slandered and betrayed by demons, and the house slaves and disciples died one by one in order to protect me, and I was ......exiled to the people, and was saved by your ancestors."
Huo Rendong thought that his parents died when he was a teenager, and he was forced to bear infamy and hatred, and it was not easy to grow all the way to the present.
She comforted softly: "Childe, you are the most powerful person I have ever met." ”
Qi Ci has never felt how pitiful he is, whether he is dead or poisoned. But everyone else felt that it was his unspeakable past, and they never dared to mention it.
Now she said this, as if in her words, those bitter pasts seemed to be for the sweetness of the moment.
The corners of Qi Ci's mouth curled slightly.
The most powerful person?
He didn't like the flattery of the monks, but as soon as she praised him—
If he had a tail, he would be raised high at the moment.
*
Qi Ci has traveled for many years and has searched for countless ways to detoxify, some of which are effective and some of which are useless. People in the world say that there is no cure for the poison stone, but in fact, it is not absolute.
Hindrance is a great evil and the most evil.
Then it needs to be purified by the purest and the most good.
The destination of Qi Ci's trip is a mysterious village, and there may be a way to completely unravel the barrier.
Huo Rongdong was looking forward to this, but following him all the way west, he gradually arrived in the deep mountains and old forests, not to mention the village, there was no one here at all.
The ground was paved with dead branches and rotten leaves that had been deposited for an unknown number of years, and the path was creeping when stepped on, and there were only the tracks of wild beasts in the forest.
Hearing the movement of the humans, several ferocious beasts slowly approached, lowered their bodies, and stared at them from a distance with yellow-green vertical pupils, as if they were about to pounce on them in the next moment.
Huo Rongdong just wanted to draw the sword, but he saw the thunder torture sword behind Qi Ci levitating and growing, and it circled around the two of them quickly. The sharp blade of the Thunder Sword cut off many branches and branches that stood in the way.
Qi Ci said coldly: "Get out." ”
As soon as the words fell, the beasts that were surrounded immediately fled into the dense forest in terror.
The silence returned to the surroundings, Huo Rongdong looked at the woods with no end in sight, and wondered: "Childe, is there really a village here?" ”
Qi Ci made the Thunder Torture Sword bigger and took her to sit up: "The Holy Tree Village is isolated from the world and is not known to outsiders, if it weren't for my father's kindness in the village in the early years, I'm afraid I wouldn't know." ”
They weave their edgeworthies swiftly through the dense forest.
Like a small boat, wandering in the deep green sea.
Huo Honeysuckle half-squinted, feeling the wind sweeping the leaves to her side, she looked up and saw that the dense forest in front of her was still endless, if it weren't for the change in the types of trees around her, she almost thought that she was still spinning in place.
As they went deeper, there were still many animal traces in the woods, but now, the surroundings were thick green, and when they looked up, they were the top of the trees, and they couldn't tell the southeast and northwest at all, except for the occasional blue sky.
You can't fly out like this, and no matter how far you fly, you can't get out of the dense forest.
"There is a strange gossip array formed by nature outside the village, and in order to protect the sacred tree, monks from the outside world cannot enter." As he spoke, Qi Ci put his arm around her waist, "Close your eyes and listen to the wind." ”
Huo Rongdong didn't know what it meant to listen to the wind, she simply broke the jar, hugged Qi Ci's neck tightly with both hands, closed her eyes, and carefully identified the wind around her.
The Thunder Sword didn't know where it was flying, and the whirring wind was at first mixed with the wonderful sound of slapping leaves, and then it turned into a humming sound of high-speed progress.
The close-fitting male body is constantly transmitting vigorous heat and support, and I don't know how long it has been, Huo Rongdong suddenly felt that the breath around him was clear.
She opened her eyes suddenly, and Qi Ci smiled lightly above her head: "We have arrived." ”
Just now, they were obviously in the dense forest, but suddenly they suddenly brightened, the Thunder Torture Sword flew over a farmland that stretched for thousands of miles, and the wheat seedlings under their feet were green, and they grew half as tall as adults!
Huo Rongdong saw a few fat cows and horses grazing leisurely on the edge of the ridge, and the white sheep were enclosed in the pasture, which was idyllic.
And as soon as you step into the scope of the Holy Tree Village, you can feel that the aura here is extraordinarily strong, which is shocking, and it is not much better than Bai Yujing.
The endless green hillside is like a green carpet, which seems to be a fairyland on earth only in a dream.
This is not the most shocking, Huo Rongdong couldn't close his mouth for a long time until he saw the giant tree called the holy tree.
Looking up, the incomparably large acacia tree, the canopy of which almost obscured the sky, stretched over the entire village, and the pink flowers were waving in the wind like feathers.
Cows, horses, and livestock are as small as ants compared to tree trunks. The farmhouses and houses were also built around the sacred tree, like small mushrooms.
Huo Rongdong was shocked by the strange scenery of this sacred tree village, when he heard a voice in the distance: "But Cihui Zhenjun? ”
An old ox was chewing grass roots and slowly walked with cloudy eyes. On the back of the old cow sat an old man with a black face as old as him, with a wrinkled face, a hat, and a hoe in his hand.
Qi Ci took the sword and bowed to the obviously mortal old man: "I've seen the village chief." ”
There is not the slightest arrogance of immortal cultivators, and even his usual unruliness is not there.
Although the old man was gray-haired, he was in good spirits, he glanced at Qi Ci with a smile, and then looked at Huo Rendong who was dazed behind him.
"Why did Zhenjun change his mind? I remember that ten years ago, Zhenjun also came to our village. ”
Qi Ci's expression was calm, and he laughed at himself: "Suddenly I don't want to die like this." ”
In the past, he was alone, and the only master who cared about him had already sat down, and everyone in the world regarded him as a flood beast, wishing that he would die early and be reborn. It doesn't seem to make much difference whether it is cured or not.
But now it's different.
Qi Ci turned his head to look at the woman beside him, there are always one or two winds in the world, filling my 108,000 dreams.
He bowed again: "I took the liberty to come here today and ask the village chief to help me detoxify." ”
The old man squinted his eyes and smiled: "Zhenjun's words are serious, Qi Xianshi and his wife are kind in my Holy Tree Village, and they are not grateful, today Zhenjun is in trouble, and the old man will definitely help." ”
The village chief mounted the oxen and led them slowly towards the village.
The three of them walked around the farmland and walked through the fruitful orchards, and saw the lights of thousands of homes.
The village has always been self-sufficient in the survival of the huge sacred tree, and the villagers' houses are simple mud houses, and they wear cheap linen clothes.
What singing and dancing restaurants, gambling houses, and gold shops have nothing to do with here.
Along the way, many people greeted the village chief, and when they saw strange outsiders, they all showed puzzled and curious expressions, and even young children followed behind.
Huo Nindong didn't think anything at first, but later, she saw a teenager about a teenager pushing a huge stone mill by himself.
There was also a six- or seven-year-old boy who walked quickly with a huge pumpkin in his arms.
Not to mention a man in the prime of life, who can carry a tree trunk with one hand.
Huo Nurish: ......
She looked at the old village chief who rode a bull to lead the way in front of her, and conservatively estimated that this village chief was at least a hundred years old.
Guarding the sacred tree, the villagers are resting at sunrise, although they are all ordinary people, but they have obviously bathed in the aura for many years, their spirits are vigorous, their bodies are tough, they are not easy to get sick, and they are all powerful.
Such a blessed land, if it is known to the outside world, I am afraid that it will attract bloody storms again.
Thinking about it this way, it is not surprising that the dense forest outside is protected by an innate strange gossip array.
The village chief's hut was the closest to the sacred tree, and the old man untied Qi Ci's shirt to check the injury, and then checked his pulse carefully.
His face was solemn: "It's a lot more serious than ten years ago, and if Zhenjun comes one step later, I'm afraid it will be ......."
"But with the sacred tree here, there's still room for turnaround."
Huo Rendong asked eagerly: "May I ask the village chief, what should I do?" ”
The old village chief looked at her with a smile: "Naturally, I want to borrow the Holy Tree Spirit to cleanse the poison on Zhenjun's body." ”
"It's just ......"
"The sacred tree is guarded by the enchantment of heaven and earth, and it naturally rejects the evil people, if the demons get close, they will definitely suffer the pain of burning their bodies step by step."
"The True Monarch has a barrier poison in his body, and the barrier poison is extremely vicious, and he will be excluded by the enchantment."
"But to detoxify, you need to bathe in the purest aura of the sacred tree and thoroughly cleanse the evil spirits. This pain is not enough for outsiders. ”
"Zhenjun, you might bear it?"
