Chapter 27: Jade Valley Immortal (I)
Seeing Huang Li sitting on the ground, the monster hurriedly stepped forward and asked with concern, "Child, are you injured in any way?" ”
Huang Li looked at the monster's concerned expression and replied excitedly: "Senior, I'm fine, just take a break." ”
Immediately, Huang Li slowly lay back on the hay bed that the monster had laid for him, and after a while, he fell asleep.
The monster stared at Huang Li's sleeping face, and couldn't help but caress Huang Li's cheek with his inflexible hand, as if the tenderness of a parent caressing a child.
"What a good boy, but unfortunately fell into this place. I must save him! The monster muttered to himself.
At this moment, Huang Li suddenly muttered to himself in his dream: "Old man, you are so pitiful. I must capture your apprentice Shi Jian and avenge you. I'm going to kill him, ask him, how can you be so cruel, you treacherous fellow? How can you hurt your master and throw him into the valley and do such a murderous thing. ”
When the monster heard Huang Li's words in his dream, he couldn't help but burst into tears.
"I must help this child." The monster made up his mind.
With that, his body squirmed like a snake.
Moments later, the monster returned with two hares in his arms, lit the remaining fire in the dilapidated cave, and roasted the hares on the fire.
The monster fell into thought.
What was he thinking?
He wondered if he should give everything he had to this child. It stands to reason that he should have done so, so that the child would be able to avenge him. However, at this time, it was the time of the Demon War, and if he gave everything to the child, and he helped the Immortal Clan eradicate the descendants of his own Demon Clan, what would it be?
The monster looked at Huang Li's ruddy face again, his heart full of mixed emotions.
"Maybe this kid isn't what I thought. Maybe he'll gain all of my power and really bring blessings to the universe. ”
The monster put aside his thoughts for the time being, and quietly looked at the mountain rabbit on the fire, and the fragrance was overflowing.
At this moment, Huang Li, who was sleeping, suddenly smelled the aroma of barbecued meat.
The hunger in his stomach prompted him to wake up immediately.
Huang Li opened his slightly tired eyes and looked at the source of the fragrance. I saw two earth rabbits roasting on the fire.
When the monster saw Huang Li wake up, he hurriedly stepped forward and said, "Child, are you hungry?" Get up and eat some rabbit meat. This is the first time I've killed in years, and it's all for you. ”
The old man was full of smiles, which made Huang Li feel the warmth of his parents.
"Thank you, senior." Huang Li sat up respectfully and kowtowed a few times on the haystack.
"Don't do that, kid. Come and eat rabbit meat. The monster said kindly.
Huang Li slowly walked towards the fire, feeling that his strength was slowly recovering.
Sitting in front of the monster, he took a roasted rabbit from the shelf, tore off a piece of the rabbit's hind leg, and handed it to the monster.
The monster looked at the rabbit hind legs handed over by Huang Li, shook his head and smiled, "These two rabbits are yours." I stopped eating meat for many years. ”
"How can this be, you don't eat meat?" Huang Li asked in surprise.
"Yes, I have stopped eating meat, neither have I killed any more. Ever since I fell from this valley, I have felt that this is destiny's punishment for me. Therefore, I have vowed not to eat meat again, not to harm life again, in order to atone for my sins. ”
Hearing this, Huang Li's eyes moistened.
The seniors and juniors are grateful, and you have been merciful to me, and you have not hesitated to make an exception for me to pay for the killing, and I am deeply grateful. ”
"Don't say much, young man, let's eat something." The monster stroked Huang Li's head.
Huang Li swallowed the two roast rabbits with tears.
When the monster saw that Huang Li had finished eating, he asked him to sit on a pile of hay by himself.
"Kid, do you want to get out of here?" The monster asked suddenly.
"Senior, I naturally want to leave, but you have been trapped here for many years, how can I get out, this place seems to have become a dead place." Huang Li smiled bitterly.
Hearing this, the monster nodded slightly and looked at Huang Li with satisfaction.
"You're right, this is indeed a dead land. It's not that I can't get out, it's that I don't want to go out. The outside world is full of deceit and greed, and I have long been tired of it, so I don't want to leave. The monster said calmly.
Huang Li saw that the monster's expression was calm, and he knew that his words were true, and a determination rose in his heart.
