Shen Li shook his head.

Hua Xu's voice sounded sad and joyless: "He will take me, tie him up, don't let him go out again, so as not to hurt people again." ”

Shen Li was slightly stunned.

Hua Xu continued: "I promised him and tried to remove the evil qi from his body, but it didn't work. At that time, I was not well injured and could not help him. And he was getting more and more miserable because of the invasion of evil qi, and it didn't take long for him to be awake more and less. ”

So, after thinking about it, I decided to go back to my place and ask the others if there was anything I could do to save him. I told him when he was sober and then left. But when I finally had a way to try, it was too late. ”

"He has been attacked by the evil qi very badly, and he broke free of the chain that tied him, left the forbidden land and went to the nineteen villages, injuring many people."

Hua Xu was silent for a moment and said, "The last thing he said to me was to beg me to kill him." ”

Shen Li's heart was shocked, and he looked at Hua Xu speechlessly, not knowing what to say.

Hua Xu stroked the dry tree and said abruptly: "Actually, he doesn't have to die." Even if he turns into a monster controlled by evil energy, I can take him away to a place where no one cares. But he shook his head at me, and he didn't want to. At that time, the people of Jiuli and Eighteen Villages were afraid of him and wanted to kill him. He himself wanted to kill himself. ”

Shen Li couldn't help but ask, "Master, did you kill him in the end?" ”

Hua Xu hummed lowly.

He said, "This is his wish, and I can only repay him for saving his life in this way." ”

"And what about the back?" Shen Li asked.

After he died, the people of Jiuli and Eighteen Villages were afraid that he would become a dead body attacking people, and wanted to burn him. I didn't agree and brought him back here. Then I saw a letter he had left. ”

Hua Xu withdrew his hand and said lightly: "He said that what he wanted to do most in the past was to protect his hometown and protect his people, but he ended up being the one who hurt them. He couldn't accept that, and would rather die. He was also worried about the things here, since he could no longer control the evil qi, the things here were gradually affected by him, and they became out of control, and it was very easy to hurt people."

"He also said that I was a good person."

"So he asked me to help them guard this place before cultivating new people who can protect this place in Jiuli Eighteen Villages."

Shen Li looked at Hua Xu and said, "But you didn't let Jiuli Eighteen Villages find people anymore, you have been guarding it, and you have been staying here for nearly a hundred years." ”

Hua Xu: "Hmm. ”

Shen Li opened his mouth, "...... Earlier you asked me about my freedom, and I thought you were a last resort, but I didn't expect it...... It turns out that you actually have a chance to go. ”

Hua Xu said: "Go?" My people can walk, but can my heart walk? ”

It's easy to get out, but it's hard to get out.

If it weren't for saving him, that person would not have ended up like that, and he would have always been a figure admired by everyone in Jiuli and Eighteen Villages, rather than a wicked person who was later shouted and killed by those people.

Hua Xu sometimes couldn't understand why that person was willing to die.

And even if he stayed here for so many years, he never had any feelings for Jiuli Eighteen Villages. He just felt that he should repay the grace of saving his life, and when this thing was really as the person wished, and no longer threatened the safety of Jiuli and Eighteen Villages, his kindness would be repaid.

It's ridiculous that the man said that he was a good person, but he didn't know that he looked away, he was actually a cold and ruthless person.

Shen Li seemed to see what Hua Xu was thinking, and said, "Master, you have been relieved, and your heart is no longer imprisoned. ”

Hua Xu looked back at her.

Shen Li counted him one by one: "You have been dutifully guarding here, and you have never let Jiuli and Eighteen Villages be in the slightest danger during this period; You are always hidden in the life of Jiuli and Eighteen Villages, to determine whether they are really safe; You will even pity Yu Yingying, a little girl, and don't think that her sacrifice is deserved, and sneer at what the Great Witch Wishes them did......"

"This is enough proof that your friend did not save the wrong person in the first place. In the past few decades, you have gradually realized what he wants to tell you, and you are willing to stay here. ”

"Now that you can leave us when Grandma and I come to look for you, be kind and measured, which means that you are no longer the same person you used to be. The previous one you have disappeared, so why talk about being trapped? Didn't you break free and gradually become the new you? ”

Hua Xu looked at Shen Li in a daze.

Shen Li said: "When I meet you again in the future, you will be different. I think if you ask that friend to choose again, he will still save you. ”

Hua Xu was silent for a long time and said, "Maybe." ”

Shen Li changed the topic, "Don't talk about it, let's talk about something else, is the location of this peach tree the land of extreme yin?" Why didn't I feel too strong a sinister aura? What spell did you use to bury it? ”

Hua Xu turned his head and looked back at the trees.

"I didn't actually use any blinding spells or anything like that."

“？”

"You wait."

After Hua Xu finished speaking, he walked towards the wooden house.

Shen Li didn't know why, he waited honestly in place, and soon waited for Hua Xu to come back, with a shovel in his hand.

"You're ......"

Shen was puzzled.

Hua Xu came over and stopped, put the shovel on the ground, first raised his palm to cast a spell, and pressed his palm downward, and suddenly a spiritual power burst out from his body, scattering in a ripple shape, but did not disperse, but formed an invisible barrier around it.

They couldn't hear the sound outside, and they couldn't hear the movement inside.

"In order not to be noticed by the people in the nearby Jiuli and Eighteen Villages, and also discovered by the people in the house, it is better to isolate this small space first." Hua Xu said, and then stepped forward with a shovel and began to dig up the dead tree he had just touched.

Shen Li was even more puzzled, thought about it, and felt that it might be that this place was a place of extreme yin, and the actual yin qi contained in it was very strong, and once it was released, it might cause turmoil and panic, so Hua Xu could isolate here.

She stepped forward, "Master, you are injured, so let me come." ”

"I don't have the hobby of watching little kids work right in front of my eyes." Hua Xu said lightly, although the action of digging the soil was slow due to injury, it was steady.

Shen Li: "........."

You're the little kid.

"Also," Hua Xu looked up at Shen Li and said, "Don't call me 'you'." ”

Shen Li: "...... I'm showing respect for you, and ordinary people can't get it. ”

Hua Xu lowered his head and continued to dig, "You don't need such respect as a teacher. ”

“………”

Shen Li squatted to the side in convincing, holding his head with his hand to look.

After digging for nearly an hour, Hua Xu went down with a shovel and suddenly stopped with a "clang".

"Found it." He said.
