Chapter 40: By the Lake
The sun is dark, and the east wind is raining the gods.
When it was close to dawn, a light rain fell in the forest, which fell on Xia Rou's body, bringing a slight coolness.
Xia Rou tightened the white robe on her body, looked up at the dark sky, sighed softly, and then walked forward looking for the road in her memory.
…………
When the rain fell, Su Li rolled over, and just as a drop of rain had crossed the obstacles of the leaves and fell into her mouth.
Not...... Su Li smashed her mouth and opened her confused eyes and sat up, who am I? Where am I?
"Senior Sister Su, you're awake." Zhang Geyue's face was a little pale, he stepped on the slightly moist grass, walked quickly to Su Li, and handed her a gift bag.
His voice was a little choked, and he continued: "This is given to you by Senior Sister Xia, and inside is the array card of her spiritual weapon shop, Senior Sister Xia also said...... also said that she hoped that her senior sister could forgive her for her willfulness, and in the future, she would ask her senior sister to open it alone. ”
"Summer ...... Sister? Su Li tilted her head and took the bag, and her sleeping brain quickly woke up, "Alone? What about Senior Sister Xia? What happened to Senior Sister Xia? ”
"Senior Sister Xia said that she has some private things to do...... Zhang Geyue's voice paused, and then he bent down deeply, his voice was heavy and helpless, "Senior Sister Su Li, I want to ask Senior Sister to save Senior Sister Xia, what Senior Sister wants to do must be something that makes her feel like she will die, so she refused my help, so she will ...... with me Farewell. ”
Yes, farewell! Xia Rou's figure kept coming to his mind, and finally it was fixed on the smile before she turned her head, a bitter but firm smile.
Zhang Geyue bent over motionless, staring at her toes, humble and sincere, waiting for Su Li's response.
He didn't know what was in this secret realm, which made Xia Rou, who had already comprehended the sword intent, feel that he was going to die, but no matter what it was, if even Xia Rou couldn't do anything, then with his strength now that he was injured, he couldn't even try to accompany Xia Rou, because even if he went, he would only become a burden to Xia Rou and would only make things worse, so he could only pray that Su Li was really the power he imagined now.
Su Li hung the bag on her waist with a solemn face, hugged the small blanket covering her body, and stood up from the ground, and then her eyes looked at the Eastern Emperor Xiaoxian who was floating behind Zhang Geyue and looked like she had nothing to do with herself.
Sensing Su Li's gaze, Donghuang Xiaoxian turned his head slightly, and said in a soft tone: "You got drunk yourself, and what Xia Yatou is going to do is really dangerous, let's not talk about whether you can help her, you just cultivate this point, even if you have a wishful hammer, you will die." ”
Su Li's eyes lowered, holding the blanket with one hand, and holding Zhang Geyue with the other, she asked, "Senior Brother Zhang, is this blanket Senior Sister Xia's?" ”
"Yes." Zhang Geyue nodded, his eyes were a little red, he was obviously an immortal cultivator who majored in the cultivation of fire spirit roots, but his feelings were unexpectedly delicate, "Senior Sister Xia should also be afraid of implicating you, so she chose this method to leave secretly." ”
"Then I'll go and return it to her, and by the way, say goodbye to my senior sister, senior brother, you ......" Su Li folded the small blanket and put it into the storage bag, smiled lightly, and continued: "If I don't come back today, senior brother won't have to wait for me, we'll meet you in secret." ”
"Senior sister......" Zhang Geyue opened her mouth, wanting to speak and stopped, his heart suddenly felt a little uneasy, Su Li had never said anything about her cultivation, if he guessed wrong, if all this was just his conjecture, if Su Li was just a little special Qi refining period, then didn't he hurt her?
He wanted to ask Su Li's true cultivation, but he saw Su Li turn around and pick up the giant hammer on the ground, wave his hand at him, and then four dazzling golden streamers cut out from her cuffs, gathered behind her in the blink of an eye, and turned into four delicate and dazzling cicada wings, and then, Su Li's figure stepped into the rain curtain outside the big tree, and quickly dissipated into the dense forest.
Zhang Geyue's hand was raised, and he put it down in a dejected manner, and could only say silently Be careful, at this time, he was so desperate in his heart that he wanted to become stronger, so that he didn't pay attention to the direction in which Xia Rou had never told Su Li.
…………
Different from the lush jungle on the periphery, in the center of the purple bamboo forest is a small clear lake, in the middle of which grows a small tree half a man high, and all kinds of strange spirit animals are roaming around the lake drinking and playing.
Although the scenery is good, the lake is very ordinary, and there is no elixir around, plus there are a bunch of second-order spirit beasts here, so basically no one comes here, of course, there are always people who will have a fluke mentality, thinking that such a strange place must have a fairy fate, and then they are happy to look for it here, just like they were at that time.
A black light appeared in Xia Rou's eyes, and then, the black sword intent came out of her body, exuding a strong sense of oppression, expelling the nearby spirit beasts, and then her eyes looked at the lake from afar, looking at the bits and pieces of bones that were gnawed by the spirit beasts, and tears slipped silently from the corners of her eyes.
A few days ago, there were still a few teenagers and girls there, sitting around the small lake, talking about ideals, dreams, talking about the north and south, and the scenery of the rivers and lakes, but in just a few days, only a few wrecks and half dead bodies were left.
The drizzle was mixed with tears, Xia Rou did not continue to stay, she reined in her sword intent, and slowly walked towards the bones step by step.
After just walking a few steps, Xia Rou suddenly stopped, she looked down at her stomach, where she didn't know when it became scarlet, even the white robe became tattered, covered with bloodstains, through this scarlet, you can vaguely see the internal organs wrapped in spiritual power, quiet and lifeless.
Xia Rou had a slight stunned look on her face, but it quickly turned calm, she shook her head, took out the spirit sword to support her body, and walked forward step by step.
As she gradually approached the broken bones, there were continuous wounds on Xia Rou's body, first her left wrist suddenly fell to the ground, and then turned into white bones and dissipated with the wind in an instant, and then, her right eye suddenly shattered, leaving only a hollow eye socket, and then countless large and small blood marks appeared on her body, turning her entire body into a blood-red, like a rag doll soaked in red ink, and then, her entire right leg turned into blood foam and dissipated......
It wasn't until she walked to the broken bones with the spirit sword that a large hole suddenly appeared in her chest, empty and weird.
Sitting weakly next to the broken bones, Xia Rou stretched the remaining left leg into the lake, and the clear lake water was instantly dyed black and red, and then she lowered her head, looked at her empty chest, let go of the spirit sword she had been holding, and gently put her right hand on her chest.
A hoarse and deep voice sounded by the silent lake, "It turns out that in the end, I don't even have a heart......"
