Chapter Seventy-One: Silence in the Eye of the Storm

Although it was the same day, the atmosphere at night was very different from that at noon.

Outside the guest room on the second floor, Bai Maxiao waited quietly in front of the room, and Nie Jianfeng behind him looked at his back and felt a little strange.

Rarely has he been so quiet. Maybe it's because of the hellish melee of Shura, and now he hasn't broken free from the shadow of death.

After all, in the past few months, although there have been many major battles, it is the first time that a group of mortals have been killed like today.

When he came down from the ring covered in blood, he only hugged the woman who had fainted in his hands, and said lightly, "I got it." Then he said nothing.

If it was before, he would have to boast for at least a full hour, and then ask Nangong Yu to set a wine for him to celebrate.

But now, there is only this bland sentence, as if this is what he should do.

"White Horse...... What are you thinking?" After thinking about it again and again, Nie Jianfeng decided to enlighten him, if he didn't feel comfortable in time after experiencing such an incident, it was easy to give birth to some strange mental illness.

"Old Nie, ......what do you say," Bai Maxiao said in a deep voice, his back becoming very melancholy, as if he was asking a question that he had been thinking about for a long time and could not get rid of.

Nie Jianfeng straightened up and said solemnly, "You say, I'll listen." ”

"You say...... What kind of person would that girl be?"

"Hmm...... Huh?" Nie Jianfeng didn't turn the corner for a while, and looked at him strangely.

saw him raise his head, hold his chin and think carefully, "I see that she is a little familiar, but her face is bloody, and she can't see her face clearly." I think it's supposed to be a beauty, you say?"

"You've been thinking about this kind of thing since just now?!" Nie Jianfeng looked at him incredulously, and there was not much friendliness left in his tone, "I don't know!"

Bai Maxiao didn't understand what he was angry about, and was wondering, when the door opened, and Jian Yin brought out a basin of blood-red water, and a blood-stained towel lay quietly in it.

"Little junior sister, how is Yungui doing?"

"Master has cleaned her wounds and is dressing her with medicine. ”

Bai Maxiao hurriedly stopped Jian Yin, who was about to pour water, "Can we go in?"

Jian Yin raised his head and said indignantly, "Pervert!

After saying that, she wanted to leave again, but Bai Maxiao took another step to stop her, "How does she look?"

Jian Yin's eyes showed disdain, "Why do you care about this, you saved her, but don't want to take advantage of people's danger and ask others to make a promise!"

Bai Maxiao hurriedly shook his head, "No, no, no, it's pure curiosity." If I save a beautiful woman, I will feel more fulfilled. If it's an ugly girl...... Then I'll take it as charity!"

Jian Yin moved his shoulder, broke free of his hand, gave him a blank look and left, and threw a sentence behind him before leaving: "It's beautiful." ”

"Hey, I got it. ”

Looking at the triumphant smile on his face, Nie Jianfeng felt that his worries were purely superfluous, a heartless guy like Bai Maxiao, Mo said that he didn't have any lives in his hands today, he just fished a handful in the sea of blood, even if he killed that group of people, he could find a way to comfort himself.

Nie Jianfeng shook his head helplessly and asked, "Are you injured?"

"No, it's good. ”

At this time, his whole body was covered in blood, and his white clothes were covered with black mud and red bloodstains, like a white rose that had fallen into a blood-soaked quagmire, and had been stepped on.

"You go take a shower and change your clothes. Nie Jianfeng looked at his embarrassed appearance, and when he saw the master for a while, it was really rude and abrupt to the beauty.

Bai Maxiao seemed to have just discovered that he was like this, and he was disgusted like a cleanliness fetish.

At this time, Jianyin appeared from the staircase, and when he came back, he was holding a bowl of freshly fried soup in his hand, and he heard Bai Maxiao shouting from a distance, "Little junior sister, can you help me prepare bath water and a set of clean clothes?"

Jianyin gave him a beautiful smile, "How about rubbing your back and adding a foot massage?" Before he could answer, she immediately changed her face, "Am I your servant!"

After saying that, he pushed open the door and entered, and Bai Maxiao took a curious step, looked in, and was almost hit by the door that closed in a hurry.

"Guest, the bath water has been poured for you. ”

Looking at this shopkeeper who came out of nowhere, Bai Maxiao said in surprise, "Your shop is really amazing, I just wanted to take a bath, so you put the water in it?"

Nie Jianfeng said with a smile, "Maybe people saw that you were dirty like this when you came back, and they were afraid that it would affect the customers in the store, so they told him to prepare bath water for you." ”

The shopkeeper scratched his head embarrassedly, "No, no, the female guest officer who was just decocting medicine in the kitchen ordered the little one to prepare it for Fan Ye, and she also specially asked us to prepare a table of wine and food to treat you." ”

Thinking of Jian Yin, who had just come back with a bowl of medicine, I wanted to come to the store Xiao Er was talking about her.

Bai Maxiao's heart was warm, although this sword sound was hard-mouthed, he was still very thoughtful.

"You are really enviable, Uncle Xiao, she has never cared so much about a person, even Teacher Fu has never enjoyed this treatment. ”

Bai Ma Xiao was slightly stunned, shook his head slightly, and quibbled as if he didn't want to admit it, "How do you know if you don't? Teacher Fu won't necessarily tell you, right? I look at her, she just doesn't like you!"

Nie Jianfeng didn't refute, just shook his head helplessly.

Bai Maxiao didn't say anything more to him, and turned around and went back to the room.

As soon as I entered the room, I felt the steaming water, mixed with the smell of roses, and through the screen next to the bed, I could vaguely see the steaming bathtub.

Such a scene, such a fragrance, I don't know that I think there are beautiful women bathing here.

Hakumashi unbelievably bypassed the screen, and sure enough, he saw a little rose petal floating on the steaming water in the bathtub.

"Damn, that's too exaggerated, I thought it was only in movies that flower petals would be sprinkled. ”

The soul couple sneered, "The bath water is sprinkled with flower petals to deodorize, and you must be full of the smell of blood." ”

"Hey, it still smells of sweat!" "The demon didn't know how to make up for it.

Hakuma pouted, took off his dirty clothes, and jumped into the tub with a plop.

Suddenly surrounded by a burst of warmth, indescribable comfort. 、

Speaking of which, before coming to ancient times, Bai Maxiao had never taken a bath except for going to the bathhouse when he was a child, and the first time he enjoyed a bath after taking a shower was actually in ancient times.

The ancient people were so good, they could only take a bath without a shower, how comfortable it was to take a bath!

Although I used a tub to take a bath in the past two months, this is the first time I have taken a bath in hot water like this.

Unconsciously, a sense of sleepiness came up, and I actually fell asleep sitting in the bathtub.

In a trance, Bai Maxiao found himself in a dark, absolute silence, but it did not bring tinnitus, as if he had lost all his senses at this moment.

But the warmth around him still exists, and although being in an unknown place can bring people fear, Hakumashi feels very comfortable at this time.

Is this a soul pool? Why is it dark again?

"Soul couple, have you been kidnapped by the demons again?!" Hakuma Xiao shouted, but only an endless echo echoed him.

Recently, I haven't had a violent atmosphere, and my emotions have been restrained a lot, but this pitch black seems to be a soul pool soaked in demons.

But the soul pool at that time was not as comfortable as it is now.

"Kid ......"

The voice was very unfamiliar, so strange that Bai Maxiao didn't even feel a little familiar, but the tone was extremely kind.

He looked back, and in the darkness he couldn't see anyone, but the voice was so close that it seemed to be standing right in front of him.

"Havoc...... It's coming. ”

"Who are you?" asked Hakumashio, but received no response.

The voice didn't seem to hear him, and continued to say to itself, "Lop Nur...... Lop...... Eye of the Storm ......"

The sound was intermittent, and it seemed that Hakuma had encountered such a scene before, but it seemed that it had been a long time since he really couldn't remember it.

But this voice mentioned Lop Nur, which made Bai Ma Xiao have to pay attention, "What's wrong with Lop Nur? Is it related to Xiao Ling? and...... It's mine...... Where's my uncle? Is he there, too? Who the hell are you?"

The voice still did not answer him, but repeated the words "Havoc", "Lop Nur" and "Eye of the Storm" over and over again.

Seems to be some of the key words.

It is not difficult to connect these three words into a meaningful sentence, that is, "The coming havoc is related to the eye of the storm in Lop Nur." ”

And this "eye of the storm" may be a place name, or a thing, or a person.

This is by no means a dream, because even though he is haunted by the place of Lop Nur, he has never heard of the "eye of the storm".

The eye of the storm, the center of the tornado, is a calm zone surrounded by fear and destructive forces.

But what this voice refers to is by no means the superficial meaning.

It seemed to be a message left by someoneβ€”a message that remained in the depths of his soul.

The passage of time in dreams is very mysterious, sometimes only a few minutes have been spent in the dream, but tens of minutes or even hours have passed.

After a while, the darkness around me suddenly dissipated and turned into a piece of light.

"You can still fall asleep in a shower, what are you doing at this time?"

By the time he reacted, the Soul Companion had already appeared in front of him. Bai Maxiao hurriedly asked, "I just ...... Where is it?"

The soul couple looked at him amusedly, "Where is the dreamless sleep, you don't come to the soul pool every time you sleep, you haven't gotten used to this?"

"Impossible! That's not a dream!" Bai Maxiao objected excitedly, which really startled the soul couple.

The black shadow floated in, although it didn't even have a human form, but it always made people feel that it was chattering, "Hehe, just keep this mood, the day when I will return to my human form is just around the corner!"

Bai Ma Xiao glared at him, and suddenly remembered something, "Boy, you said that you have the memory of Bai Ma Fei in the Snake God Sect, then you must know that the eye of the storm in Lop Nur, right?"

After a brief silence, the demon denied it, "I don't know. ”

Bai Ma Xiao couldn't help frowning, could it be that the message was left by Bai Ma Fei? But why didn't even the soul couple and the inner demon know?

The soul couple looked at him and said strangely, "Are you alright?"

"It's okay......"

The three of them were silent for a while, and suddenly there was a rapid knock on the door overhead, like a pair of invisible big hands, pulling Bai Mashino by the hair and pulling him towards the top of his head.

In an instant, everything in the soul pool disappeared, and Bai Ma Xiao woke up and turned around, and when he opened his eyes, he saw the sound of the sword.

"Are you still alive? I thought you were drowned. Jian Yin stuck his waist and rebuked angrily, "I've been washing for more than an hour, and I'm not afraid of freezing and catching a cold!"

As soon as she said this, Bai Maxiao felt that she was wrapped in coldness, and the warm bath water had already cooled, and she shivered coldly when she moved slightly.

"I'm so tired...... "Hakumashi scooped up a handful of water with his hand and slapped it on his face, trying to sober himself up.

Seeing him like this, Jianyin's tone softened a lot, "If you want to sleep, dry your body, get dressed and go to bed, this will catch a cold." ”

"Good. ”

"Come out quickly, it's time to eat. ”

"Good. ”

Jian Yin didn't care about his perfunctory answer, put a set of clean clothes on his bed, remembered something, and said, "By the way, Senior Sister is back." ”
