CHAPTER IX
Jialan dragged Ah Hui to hide in the grass, and the soldiers who came and went nearby were rummaging around with torches.
She was unfamiliar with the human world and didn't know where to run. There had always been something strange in this forest, as if something was attracting her, but the sense of crisis had always made her want to escape.
The mountains were quiet, there were no animal or insect sounds, and even the heavily armored soldiers never said a word to each other, except that the wind that swept by them as they staggered and passed by, making their ears "whirring".
Behind them is a pond of lotus ponds, and the withered lotus leaves of the pond are a natural barrier under the water, covering the scenery below.
Jialan chose to hide here, in fact, it was to make it easier for the soldiers to hide in the water when they came over, she didn't know the strength of those people, so she didn't dare to act rashly.
In addition, even if she had just come out of the God Realm, Jialan knew the relationship between the human race and the god race now.
Since the Ten Golden Crows burned the earth of the human realm three thousand years ago, the human race has developed a hatred for the god race, and they have long ceased to believe in the gods.
The gods are powerful enemies to them, and they are the ones they want to overthrow, and it is the royal family led by the king of men who will put this into action. For two thousand years since the Terrans were restored, the royal family has been secretly brewing a rebellion against the gods.
The God Emperor sensed the ambitions of the human race in the divine realm, but he was helpless against them. God cannot kill, but only hurt others in self-preservation. This is the rule set by the Heavenly Dao to protect the human race. However, as gods, even if they are pointed to the heart by the sword, they are unwilling to violate the rules between heaven and earth.
Jialan looked back at Ah Hui who was unconscious, and unconsciously saw her god.
Through Ah Hui, she remembered the baby spoon. Baby Spoon was always reluctant to come near her when she was in the sea of stars, but even if they were far away, he would feed her a vermilion fruit every time she came in. He said that the sea of stars is cold, your body is still young, you should be careful.
She didn't feel that the sea of stars was cold, she was just afraid of the darkness.
She said she wanted light, and Baby Spoon was silent. She thought he wouldn't pay attention, but the next time she woke up, she sensed a faint light.
She didn't know if the baby spoon was a god, and she never asked. It's not that she doesn't want to know, but she hopes that she can be unguarded against him and treat him calmly, that's all.
In fact, she also wanted to see the baby spoon, and she always wanted to see them. It's just that such emotions have not been expressed. She didn't know why she was hiding, as if she was guarding against something.
I didn't feel anything when I was in the sea of stars, but now that I'm separated, I'm starting to miss it again. She seemed accustomed to seeing them as soon as she woke up, and now she was the only one left, still in the human realm she hated the most.
But, why does she hate the human world?
Jialan looked around to see if there were people around. In this situation, she had to leave.
Nearly half of Tongshan's land was scorched black by the fire, and a pungent smoke rose from the ashes, converging into a thick black-gray cloud in the air.
She looked in the direction where the smoke was rising, only to see a huge formation pattern flashing in the sky. After a while, heavy rain fell, dousing the remaining flames.
Jialan quietly stretched out her palm in the grass to catch the rain with tiny black particles, and by the faint light of the fire, she watched the more and more water droplets in her palm, and her brows furrowed slightly.
The human race has reached such a powerful level. Golden fire, enchantment, array seal...... It seems that the Terrans have long been not to be underestimated.
This time to attack Tongshan, the human race made all preparations.
They used sorcery to form an enchantment that would cover the entire mountain, and then burned the mountain with golden fire. And the golden fire will burn more vigorously when it encounters mortal water, and it is impossible to extinguish it with mountain ghosts alone.
This kind of golden fire originally came from the immortal realm, and only the two immortal clans could dissolve it. But this Tongshan is a mountain god, the one they want to catch, so this mountain god can't easily appear. Therefore, as long as they don't shout to stop, the range of activities of the mountain ghost clan will be under control.
After burning with the golden fire, you can activate the array seal covering the air, gather the smoke generated by the burning of the golden fire, and then mobilize the seawater thousands of miles away to mix and mix to form an antidote to extinguish the golden fire, extinguishing the remaining golden fire.
This plan is carried out step by step, and the more it reaches the end, the more puzzling it becomes, not so much for arrest as for deterrence and even persecution. The royal family clearly knew that the mountain god of Tongshan disappeared four hundred years ago, but they still had to seize the body of the mountain god in the name of capturing the mountain god and set fire to the mountain.
Since three hundred years ago, the baby spoon has been running towards the sea of stars, and every time he comes, it is when Jialan is awake, and when he comes, he will talk to Jialan about the two worlds of gods and men.
At that time, she felt strange that such a teaching seemed to be deliberate, leading her to understand the human race deeply. She knows everything about the Terrans, but not herself.
She felt that her current situation must have something to do with the gods of the Protoss. Everything happened very suspiciously, and even her own existence felt that there must be an unusual conspiracy behind it.
Being able to come out of the sea of stars was originally a happy thing for Jialan, but at least she wanted to take a good look at the female sacrifice before she came out.
For 500 years, apart from sleeping and spending time with the baby spoon, she stayed with the priestess every day and never separated. She wanted to open her eyes, and the first thing she saw should be the female sacrifice.
But she didn't expect that the spirit was transformed into a shape, and the eyes were the last to be transformed. And in order to turn her eyes out, Nuxian dived into Tianhe countless times to find cold jade for her. A pair of eyes, it took two hundred years.
Knowing that when she came to the human world, Jialan was more puzzled and disgusted, and there was pain for the human race in the depths of her soul, and she couldn't touch it and didn't want to touch it.
She actually wanted to go to the fairy world to see, according to the baby spoon, the fairy world is very beautiful, much more beautiful than the god world. Most of the immortals know how to enjoy themselves, unlike the gods, who have always been busy and busy.
When she was in the sea of stars, it was always the female sacrifice who protected her, and the long-term peace made her almost forget the fear of staying in the sea of stars. Now that she suddenly came to a strange world, which she hated, and only existed in the words of the baby spoon, Jialan's heart suddenly became empty and at a loss.
What freedom, what imprisonment, everything was left behind by her. At the moment, she just wanted to see the woman to relieve the anxiety in her heart. But this is just her momentary thought, whether she can really go back, she has the answer in her heart, but she doesn't want to think about it.
The salty rain poured on Jialan made her feel very uncomfortable, and even had a slight tingling. Jialan put Ah Hui down, took off her coat, and wrapped her head, revealing only a pair of eyes.
Jialan looked at Ah Hui, who had been unconscious, and the injuries on her body seemed to have worsened due to the rain. As if subconsciously, Jialan took off the coat on her head, covered Ah Hui's face, and then carried her back to find a place to hide from the rain.
Jialan paused, and suddenly the alarm bell in her heart shook, her head seemed to be chaotic, and she seemed to be much clearer. The dark blue eyes suddenly changed color, and then returned in an instant.
Why would she save a spirit she never knew!?
This spirit looks injured and dying, what can she expect from her!?
It's just a tree spirit, and he knows the way back to the god realm!
The anger in my heart is slowly condensing, and it is catalyzing something. A large series of questions suddenly surfaced in her mind, completely occupying her thoughts.
Jialan's body instantly stiffened, and the discomfort of the spirit body made her wary.
Could it be that she was dementored!?
Jialan admits that she has never had compassion, and that she is still a troublesome spirit.
She suddenly remembered that in the days of the ruins of the sea of stars, she had killed two immortal maids who trespassed into the sea of stars.
Their sudden appearance disturbs Jialan and makes her dissatisfied. At that time, she didn't think about anything, she raised her hand and killed it, and she didn't feel inappropriate. But when Baby Spoon came to Xinghai to see them, Jialan felt his shock.
She didn't understand why they couldn't kill, and Baby Spoon neither told her nor reprimanded her, but just took away the two fairy maids who had been frozen into ice sculptures. Only when he finally left, he turned around and told her not to do this again. Jialan nestled on the sunken star stone, and her expression could not be seen on her face that had not yet grown.
Even if I don't kill them, they will die because of the cold of the sea of stars, and they will die sooner or later, why not let me vent my anger. Jialan said.
The baby spoon did not look back. He shook his head and said, "That's different, you can't kill them with your own hands anyway, and besides, you're not angry, are you?"
The baby spoon waved its long sleeves and walked out of the sea of stars.
The baby spoon is always like this, and when he needs to make it clear, he slips away, leaving Jia Lan Yiling alone to think.
Since she killed the fairy maid, Baby Spoon seems to be reluctant to get close to her. Although they were not close before, there was always closeness in their words. Such a change made Jialan unable to adapt, and her heart was very easily shaken, because of such a change, Jialan gradually changed.
Jialan's anger was completely hooked out after that killing. She knew that killing was wrong, she did wrong things but refused to admit it, and because of this, she never thought she had any good intentions.
Why would she do such a thing? Turning her head to think about it, she remembered that Baby Spoon had told her that the Terrans could use soul magic, but that it was generally used on animals for capture. It's just that the one on her back is obviously a tree spirit......
After thinking for a moment, she began to decide to kill Ah Hui first. Jialan turned her head to look at Ah Hui behind her, and there was murder in her eyes.
Ah Hui lay on Jialan's back and closed her eyes quietly, her injured right side of her face covered by messy hair, revealing only her dirty left cheek. Jialan's clothes slipped to the side, covering only Ah Hui's hair.
As if sensing Jialan's killing intent, Ah Hui slowly opened her eyes, and her dark green eyes were terrifying in the dark. She looked at Jialan quietly, and a wooden thorn had already pressed against Jialan's throat.
"Huh. Seeing this, Jialan's breath stagnated. The next second, she hooked the corners of her mouth and laughed at herself. But there is no peace in the heart.
Careless......
"What do you mean by that?" Jialan looked at Ah Hui calmly.
Ah Hui's movements were so fast that she didn't even see where the wooden thorn came from. At this moment, Jialan clearly realized her powerlessness. She was annoyed in her heart, because her qualifications were too shallow, and she had just come out of the sea of stars, and she was calculated!
Looking at each other, Ah Hui lowered her eyes and whispered in Jialan's ear: "Please, please save me." ”
Ah Hui seemed to feel that she would be left behind, and grabbed Jialan's clothes with her left hand.
Jialan glanced at her hand, wiped a handful of rain from her face, snorted coldly, and smiled: "Now you still expect me to save you?"
The hand holding the wooden spike used some force to push forward a few points. Jialan felt the threat on her neck, she frowned and grabbed Ah Hui's wrist without thinking, bent down and threw her directly off her back.
Heh, dare to threaten me, really when I'm weak and easy to bully!?
Jialan didn't know how heavy it was, and after Ah Hui landed, she directly twisted Ah Hui's wrist and snatched her wooden thorn.
Ah Hui snorted, clutching her wrists and struggling to get away.
The grass where Jialan was hiding was very high, and it was raining at the moment, otherwise the two of them would have to alarm the soldiers.
"Hey, dryads. Let's be honest, I can't beat those people in the woods, and you don't want me to take you away. Jialan said to her.
She hadn't figured out what had happened before, and she didn't know how many pounds and taels Ah Hui had, she just wanted to get out of it now. If the hard one doesn't work, the soft one will come, and if the soft one doesn't work, use the hard one again. She didn't believe she couldn't get rid of a dryad.
"However, although I can't beat those people, it's more than enough to deal with you. Hurry up and leave by yourself, I don't care about what happened to you before. ”
Ah Hui clutched her wrist and knelt on one knee in embarrassment. She looked up at Jialan, trying to keep her voice as low as she could even when she was gasping. Rain and dirt fell from her hair, and her face was hidden in the night.
That's right, those people's targets are the mountain ghost clan and the mountain god, and they won't do anything to the girl in front of them. Her life and death have nothing to do with this girl.
Ah Hui is now just a three-hundred-year-old tree spirit, and she can't tell what Jialan is. She just felt that the girl in front of her was dressed in a blue dress, Bingqing Yujie was like a fairy, and the cold aura on her body made her very happy, and even a little familiar. However, although the beauty is beautiful, there is a hint of anger in the dark blue eyes like ink.
Ah Hui sighed silently, she was just, too nervous.
Ah Hui lowered her head, suppressed a low cough for a few times, and nodded.
She stood up, took a deep breath, and whispered, "Thank you...... Saved me before. I didn't mean to do that, I'm sorry...... Injure...... Hurt you. ”
At that time, Ah Hui just felt that there was danger, so she reacted subconsciously. When she came to her senses, she found that she was holding a wooden thorn against Jialan's neck, and when she looked up, she found that Jialan's slightly narrowed eyes were angry, and she stabbed forward as soon as she was nervous......
And Jialan only thinks that she is excusing herself, and does not believe her words at all.
She didn't answer, but turned around and picked the largest lotus leaf in the pool, and put it on her head to cover the rain.
When passing by Ah Hui's side, looking at her tattered dress and messy hair, Jialan somehow felt a strange feeling in her heart.
She frowned and looked at it for a moment, sniffing, still thinking that it was the dryad in front of her. I wanted to ignore it, but it was clear that she had only taken two steps, and she couldn't go any further.
Jialan clenched her fists and scolded Ah Hui dozens of times in her heart.
She now thinks that Ah Hui has a problem.
Jialan turned around suddenly, pressed the lotus leaf on her head on Ah Hui's head, and then turned away without looking back, disappearing almost in two breaths.
Who is she?
Ah Hui looked at Jialan's disappearing back and thought carefully, but still didn't find anything. She pulled the crooked lotus leaf, covered her hands and stepped back along the shore. As soon as she took two steps, some images suddenly appeared in her mind, and the sharp stinging pain made her fall to the ground at once, and the wide lotus leaf was thrown out.
Ah Hui covered her head vigorously and carried it in a muffled voice, as if she had long been used to it. But this time it was different, and there was someone calling her name in mind. When the pain passed, Ah Hui didn't stay long, picked up the lotus leaf not far away and put it on her head again, but her eyes couldn't hide the ecstasy, and she muttered in her mouth: "...... He's back, he's finally back. "Go to the weakest part of the barrier.
