Chapter 20 Collecting Medicine to Save People
The moon sets and the sun rises, and the Tianshan Mountains have a long way to collect medicine.
Without the Demon Pill to protect my body, I could only die and cultivate as internal force, trekking through thorns and dangerous bushes, and stepping on the reckless yellow sand hinterland on the north shore.
I never thought about it, but I unexpectedly encountered a worse predicament.
The sandstorm whipped up the sand, and I was completely lost in my footsteps.
The taste of dry and smoking spread from the jerky throat to the bloody cracked lips.
With the belief in his heart, after continuing to hike for more than 100 miles, the silhouette of the Tianshan Mountains with aura finally appeared in his sight.
But just as I was about to move on in one go, an even more violent sandstorm swept in.
Exhausted, I closed my eyes and resigned myself to fate, and my limbs were weak and I moved forward mechanically against the wind. But after two staggering times, my pupils were dilated and I fainted in the sand pit.
My eyelids drooped and longed to rest, but my heart was very sober, and I probably wouldn't wake up after this break.
My will began to battle fiercely with my eyelids.
At this moment, a huge black figure, spreading its wings, circled in mid-air, and flew down beside me.
I had a vague feeling that it was a bird, standing next to me, and it was constantly gouging and scraping with its claws on me.
I whispered, confused, "...... I don't want to...... Exposed Desert ...... Please help me...... Dig a well-fitting pit...... Thank you ......"
"It's digging you out of the pit, not burying you, you'll be fine, I'm not going to let you be fine. ”
In a hazy moment, I realized that the bird had a master.
After I was pulled out of the pit, the owner of the bird held me in his arms tightly and sadly, "I feel so distressed to see you look so embarrassed." Isn't it good to stay in the Wild Halberd to be a demon, why are you so stupid, you have to let yourself suffer these crimes. ”
The extreme lack of water in my body made my brain freeze like a sticky mud and lose its ability to function, and I clung to the stubbornness in my heart and refused to let go, and poured out my thoughts over and over again," ...... Shun Jing ...... You have mercy on the people...... I'll take my life to protect the red dust for you......"
"Alas......"
I heard a helpless sigh as far away as the sky.
A sweet spring was poured into my mouth with a jug. Suddenly, a sense of refreshment ran through my blood and tendons, unblocking my brain and limbs.
After I had refreshed myself, I slowly opened my eyes and found myself lying under the lush seven-foot thick trees of the Tianshan Mountains.
A burly man in silver armor sat cross-legged by a tree, quietly guarding me.
I sat up, sat up, and asked, "General Ao, did you save me?"
Ao Lie put together a worried look and smiled softly: "Demon queen, it's okay if you're okay." ”
"General Ao, why are you here?"
"This Tianshan Mountain contains powerful spiritual power, and there are many elixirs that promote cultivation. That's why I've been in retreat here for the past few months. ”
I was puzzled: "Your cultivation is high enough, what are you doing with your hard work." ”
"The Nine-Tailed Demon Queen is not here, and neither are you. Hit hard by the Xuantian Gate, the ten thousand demons in the Halberd Mountain withered, and I can only rely on my own strength to defend the mountains and rivers of the demon world for you. So, I have to speed up my cultivation. ”
Ao Lie's loyal words made me feel guilty and lowered my eyebrows, so I had to say from the bottom of my heart: "General Ao, thank you." ”
"The demon queen is serious. But what are you doing here?"
"The smoke wave and red dust are infected with the Gu of the Grim Reaper, I came to Tianshan to collect medicine, encountered a sandstorm, and almost died under the yellow sand. General Ao, I remember saying a lot of thank you to you. But again, thank you for saving me. ”
Ao Lie still looked at me with a smile in his eyes.
"No thanks. Although there is no good relationship between humans and demons. However, since you want to save it, I will accompany you to collect medicine, and then I will send you back to the smoke and dust with the eagle bird. ”
I smiled back, my eyebrows lit up, and I was very grateful, "Thank you." ”
"Even if it's just a thank you, I wish I could hear it for the rest of my life. ”
Ao Lie whispered steadily, as if he was talking to himself, but I was vague again.
I shuddered and raised my eyes in surprise.
Ao Lie's amber eyes quickly restrained the faint sadness, and I also said gently: "I'm saying, no thanks." Let's go, pick up the medicine. ”
With Ao Lie's help, collecting medicine became an extremely simple matter.
In the end, the vulture carried me and Ao Lie, along with the elixir on their backs, and flew me back to the smoke and dust with the speed of fluttering their wings.
Standing on the bank of the marriage river, I saw the whole smoke and red dust, all surrounded by Taoist priests who were pure and empty.
The gates of the city were closed, and only enter, and not out.
"Isn't it dangerous inside? I'll go in with you, maybe I can help you." Ao Lie looked at the situation in front of him and couldn't help but worry.
Thinking of Shun Jing's injury, I was also worried: "It seems that the host has not been found yet, and the situation is getting worse and worse." General Ao, you can't help me if you go in, otherwise, go to the suburbs for me to find a memory. I haven't seen him since the night of the accident, and I don't know how he is. ”
"Nian'er, before I go to the Tianshan Mountains to cultivate, I will hand over Chi Ying to take him to cultivate. How did he get here?"
"Probably Chi Ying is good for him, so he disciplines him more harshly. The child was not sensible, so he sneaked down the mountain to find me. If you find him, take him back to the Halberd, after all, the smoke and dust are not suitable for him. ”
"Nian'er is very well-behaved, Xu is Chiying's words are heavy. Ao Lie's face became slightly embarrassed, and he promised instead: "When I go back this time, I will take Nian'er to Tianshan Mountain to cultivate together." Rest assured. ”
"Hmm. General Ao, Nian'er will be handed over to you, I hate to rest assured. I'll have to bring my medicine in, and I'll see you later. ”
"Goodbye, and remember to be safe. ”
I nodded, embraced the elixir in my arms, and turned and walked into the smoky city gate.
The little Taoist priest guarding the door knew that I was here to escort the elixir, and he didn't stop me too much, so he allowed me in.
In the past, the bustling and lively smoke and red dust, the streets and alleys were so deserted that there was no half a figure, and only bursts of miserable howls could be heard
It was not easy to catch a few patrolling Taoist priests, and only after a few inquiries did they know that Xuantianmen was in crisis, and Qingxuguan came to help save the world.
They set up a special sealing realm outside the Xuantian Gate and imprisoned all Gu Collectors in the sealing circle.
Then all the survivors were forbidden to go out, causing the smoke and dust to become an empty dead city.
I immediately remembered Shun Jing Shenjun, he was also caught in the Gu of the Grim Reaper, could it be that he was also imprisoned?
Thinking of this, I immediately hurried towards Xuantian Gate.
