Chapter 14: The Vision
"Yinluo...... Don't be like this, don't be upset. ”
Xiaolu next to me tried to lift me up as I collapsed to the ground, but I felt so hard.
At this moment, a voice came into my ears, familiar, a hint of trembling, this voice, from the person who had left scars on my body and soul - Nalan Mosheng.
"Xiaolu, who are you talking to?"
"Nalan!"
Xiaolu's sudden anxious response made me completely come out of my past sadness. I turned my head to look in the direction where the voice came from, the person standing between the trees, who was it not Nalan Mosheng? Seeing him, my chest ached faintly, as if the cold sword was inserted in it again.
Xiaolu looked a little panicked, and after she helped me up, she intentionally or unintentionally blocked between me and Nalan Mosheng, as if she was deliberately asking us to avoid each other. I guess she probably knows everything that happened in the Demon Domain. Maybe she thought that the purpose of my coming to the Lush Forest was to settle accounts with Nalan Mosheng. My heart was cold, but I didn't have this idea this time, I smiled at her, stroked her hand to reassure her, and then wiped the tears from the corners of my eyes and walked towards Nalan Mosheng.
"Yinluo ......"
Looking at me walking out from behind Xiaolu, Nalan had a lot of surprises and questions in his eyes, but there was no fear. This really chills me, doesn't he feel a little guilty about me?
"I'm not here to seek revenge on you, I just want to ask you for one thing. ”
"What's that?"
He was still the same, and he adjusted his emotions in an instant, as if the uncalm expression that appeared just now was an illusion.
"Demon spirits. I said lightly.
His brows furrowed slightly, and he shook his head and said, "There is no such thing in the Lush Forest. ”
"Really?" I was a little dismissive, "then why is there such a strong demonic aura in the Lush Forest?"
Indeed, since I came to the Lush Forest this time, I have felt the changes in the Lush Forest, and now I can be sure that it is the thick demonic aura that is confused around the Lush Forest.
"Yinluo, there have always been monsters infesting the Lush Forest recently, that's why this place has become so depressed, you said...... The Demon Spirit, maybe not here. ”
I listened to Xiaolu's explanation, but I looked at Nalan, except for the reason for looking for the demon spirit, I seemed to want to find even a trace of guilt in his expression, but, to my disappointment, there was nothing but indifference on his face.
"If there were no demons, how could there be so many demons gathered here?"
Zhifan said that where the demon spirit is stored, there must be a breeding of monsters, because it is said that the demon spirit is an effective magic weapon to enhance the magic power.
Nalan looked away, but Xiaolu stopped squeaking. It seems that my question got them to the point. Even if they weren't lying, it at least meant that they didn't know why the monsters in the Gloomy Forest were breeding.
"Well, since you don't know the whereabouts of the demon, I'll find it myself. ”
I turned around, and instead of being so embarrassed, I should have left earlier.
"Wait! Why do you want this?" Nalan Mosheng's voice came from behind.
I paused, but didn't look back, and walked straight in the opposite direction.
The shadows of the trees flickered, the dark wind floated around me, and a stream of spiritual energy struck me from behind me. I heard Xiaolu's exclamation, but it was too late to stop it. Nalan urged his spiritual power and slammed it straight into my back. The second time, he shot at me. Only this time, the strength is not strong, and there is no killing intent, it seems that he just wants to keep me.
My heart tightened, a white silk rushed out of my sleeve, and suddenly looked back, the white silk flowed, like a soft sword, dancing towards Nalan The spiritual energy flashed around, and the trees in the forest trembled, and some leaves fell down. Bai Aya didn't stop, and through the scattered aura, she danced straight towards Nalan Mosheng opposite me. He stopped where he was, but he had no intention of fighting back.
"Yinluo!
Xiaolu exclaimed, and instantly moved in front of Nalan, blocking between Bai Aya and Nalan.
When Bai Aya was about to rush up Xiao Lu's cheeks, my spiritual power reversed, and Bai Aya softened at once, only brushing Xiao Lu's left shoulder, and finally turned into a phantom under the shadow of the tree, but her face still seemed to be frightened, and her shoulders were still trembling slightly.
Nalan grabbed her shoulders from behind, as if she had Nalan's strength as a support, Xiaolu collapsed in Nalan's arms at once, she was really frightened.
Nalan protected her body and continued to look at me as calmly as before. I smiled bitterly, looking at Xiaolu's cowardice and Nalan's indifference, I could only smile bitterly.
"I didn't lie to you, there are really no demons in the Lush Forest, and even if you want to find them, you don't have to waste your time here. Nalan said calmly.
Xiaolu still looked at me with some anxiety, as if she was afraid that I would attack Nalan again.
"I haven't looked for it yet, how do you know if I haven't? The Gloomy Forest is full of demonic energy, if it weren't for the demon spirit, what else could it be?"
I deliberately turned my face sideways, feeling the urge to leave again.
"You mean, the recent breeding of monsters in the forest has something to do with the 'demon spirit'?" Nalan asked me to stop again.
"'Demon Spirit' is a spiritual creature that enhances its magical power, and naturally attracts countless monsters to approach. ”
"If that's the case, I want to know, what are you looking for this demon for......?"
I smiled coldly, didn't he think I was already a demon?
"Yinluo, you ......," Xiaolu also said timidly.
"Whatever the reason, I just want to find the spirits. "I don't want to explain that he has already been petrified in my heart, and he has been blown into crumbs at a little bit, and why say anything superfluous.
"If you can take the demon away and restore peace in the forest, I will help you find it. ”
I slowly looked back at him, his expression still as calm as ice, but his eyes touched my memories at this time, just as he had been in the temple many years ago when he said that he would protect the peace of the Lush Forest, a kind of determination and mission. I sighed silently in my heart, after my mother left, it was indeed he who has been guarding this place, perhaps, he is a good forest master, but he has always been a stranger to me.
"Good. ”
"Still, I want to know why you're looking for demons. ”
This time, I finally heard the slightest nervousness in his tone, even if it was only a little, but for some reason, my heart softened a little, it turned out that he still cared about my situation.
"I'm going back to the Demon Realm. ”
The simple answer made me catch a trace of surprise on his face, and Xiaolu was even more stunned.
"Why do you want to go back?"
He was starting to get a little out of control, and it was the first time since our reunion that he had had a bit of an up-and-down inquiry.
"If I can't go back, I'll die. ”
When I said this, I felt a little lonely.
He was silent, perhaps not knowing how to ask. Xiaolu's eyes widened, and she walked quickly from Nalan's side towards me, her eyes full of surprise and fear.
"Yinluo, what's wrong with you? What do you mean by 'if you can't go back, you will only die'? You came out of the Demon Domain so easily, but now you say that if you don't go back, you will die!" At this time, she subconsciously turned her head to look at Nalan behind her.
I sighed slightly, and still told them what happened, but I omitted the experience of helping Meng Yunzhong detoxify.
Xiaolu's brows furrowed, and her eyes became watery. Nalan stood silent.
"What does the 'Demon Spirit' look like, and what are its characteristics?"
After pondering for a while, Nalan asked.
I shook my head: "I've never seen it either, but since a demon spirit can enhance spiritual power, it is a spiritual thing, and it should have a strong demonic energy." ”
"That'...... We'll just split up and look for it. ”
