Chapter 24: The Choice of Leaves
"According to what you say, there is no one in this world who can control the Holy Water Divine Bead. It's just a decoration, and the gods and demons are all vying for it, which is really ridiculous. The white light was sarcastic.
"Who's to say it isn't, but there are people who can make peace with it. ”
"Oh, who could it be? Emperor of Heaven?"
"The Emperor of Heaven is one, my mother can too, and when my father is alive, it can also be done. Whenever he was restless, he would hold the holy water bead to calm himself. Listen to me, boy, in this world, don't try to control anything, learn to live in peace with them. ”
Bai Guang couldn't believe that a big devil in the demon world was saying the words "peaceful coexistence" to himself.
The Red Fire Demon saw Bai Guang's thoughts, and he said solemnly. "My demon realm has never had an unprovoked killing in the human world, not because I am afraid of the Heavenly Palace, but because I respect every life. As a Demon Emperor, my father is truly powerful and powerful, but he upholds public welfare and coexists peacefully with all things in the world. ”
Bai Guang nodded incessantly.
"Humans, gods, demons, and even all things should be treated equally. However, there is no such thing as equality. ”
After the Red Fire Demon finished speaking, he fell into deep thought.
Bai Guang didn't expect that the "demon" he thought of in his heart was really different from the "demon" he saw in front of him.
"Boy, don't talk about it. Come, sit down, take a deep breath!"
The Red Fire Demon sat Bai Guang aside, once again made him hold the Heart Crystal, and repeatedly told him not to suppress any feeling with killing intent.
Everything is ready to go. The Red Fire Demon slammed into his hand and slapped Bai Guang on the back. Bai Guang only felt a sweetness in his mouth, and a mouthful of blood was about to spit out, but he didn't resist, but spit out the blood.
He felt that as soon as this mouthful of blood spit out, his body instantly became soft, and he almost let go of the heart crystal he was holding.
The Red Fire Demon didn't care about this, he urged his power and constantly injected the power into the white light body, forcibly driving all the power in the white light body out of the body. The Illumination Crystal also exerted its power, constantly absorbing the power of the white light itself.
Bai Guang kept reminding himself in his heart, don't resist, don't resist. He was worried that if he went berserk, the Holy Water Divine Bead would suck all his power and even bring danger to the Red Fire Demon.
As the minutes ticked by, the white light gradually felt refreshed. He could clearly feel the strength slowly decreasing in his body. It was his will that filled him, and it was swimming to all corners of his body.
Seeing that the time was almost up, the Red Fire Demon began to absorb the power injected into the white light's body back, and wrapped another force around the Heart Crystal.
I saw that the heart crystal slowly broke away from the palm of the white light and flew straight into the sky.
With a "whoosh", in less than a second, the heart crystal jumped into the white light body.
The white light involuntarily interrupted the Red Fire Demon's mana, and he absorbed the Heart Crystal and all the power in the crystal in an instant.
This sudden change startled the Red Fire Demon. He didn't expect that the Heart Crystal would be absorbed by the white light, and not a single wisp of power was absorbed by the Holy Water Divine Bead outside. This is enough to show that Bai Guang's will has been fully restored, and his strength has also been fully restored.
But at this moment, the white light actually fainted.
The Red Fire Demon hurriedly checked his pulse, and found that he was just too weak and fell asleep. The Red Fire Demon helped Shirolight to the bed, covered him with a quilt, and left.
Let's talk about the leaves side of the road.
After Bai Guang and the Red Fire Demon left, she collected her mood and followed the old woman home.
She planned to tidy up the yard and tidy up the house where she and Bai Guang lived before.
Hiromi squatted on the roof and looked over to the leaves from time to time. He wants to be a competent first guard. Despite the fact that the wind was beautiful, the sun was shining, and the surroundings were peaceful, he still brisked himself and was ready to attack at any time.
At this time, Hongmi saw two figures flash into the village, and his intuition told him that these two people were not good people. Although he thought so, he couldn't go and find out, after all, staying in front of Ye Zi and protecting her was the most important thing.
These two people were sent from the forbidden land of the dragon clan, and the purpose of their visit was to find out the location of the person who sent the dragon roar.
At that time, the white light emitted a dragon roar, which shook the heavens and the earth, and the dragons in the forbidden land also noticed this sound. The Ten Elders immediately gathered together, they consulted the Dragon Demon, and decided to send two of them to check. Look which unruly rebel dragon is fleeing.
They also didn't want to think that if they left the forbidden land with the dragon's body, they would inevitably attract a ninefold earth-shattering thunder array, and now, the nine-fold earth-shattering thunder shock had never been released. It can be seen that it is not the body of a dragon outside the forbidden land. Moreover, you dragon clan, the members who now exist in the forbidden land, can still be counted. In short, these ten stupid people who didn't have long brains still consulted the Dragon Demon, and finally sent Elder Jiang's two sons to find out.
These two little dragons have not learned and have no skills since they were young, and they have the image of a gentleman. They have lived for three or four thousand years, and there is no shortage of people in the world. Every time there was a task that needed to go out of the forbidden land, they always volunteered and recommended themselves. Although they rarely complete the assigned tasks well, they are not less troublesome and play in the mountains and rivers outside.
Elder Jiang always turned a blind eye to what the two of them did. Elder Du, who was usually the most serious, sneered at his father and son, and didn't bother to deal with them. Sometimes, the father and son will go even further. Elder Du thought that as long as the matter caused did not go to the Heavenly Palace, with the strength of the Dragon Clan, it should be able to settle it.
The same is true today, when the two brothers were sent here to find out where Long Xiao came from. At that time, they took the lead and took the lead. Do you think they are earning their hearts? In fact, they have been in the forbidden land for too long, and they have survived their problems.
The two brothers, the eldest is called Mao Hai, and the second is called Mao He, and they turned into human forms and wandered around near Yanping Village.
Mao He was so hungry that he decided to find a place to have a full meal.
"Big brother, I want to eat some cooked food today, I don't want to eat fish, shrimp and crab sticks. Mao He said.
"Okay, there's a village around here, let's go look for it, what's delicious!" Mao Hai pulled the Mao River, climbed a hill, looked around, and saw a few wisps of cooking smoke rising from Yanping Village.
Both of them had long forgotten the task assigned to them. The two of them quickly approached Yanping Village, thinking that they would steal a few mouthfuls of food to eat without knowing it. But I didn't want to, and I was discovered by the red view of the roof.
Hongjian didn't have the heart to deal with them, "As long as these two guys don't come to provoke Miss Yezi, I shouldn't have seen it." Hongmi said to himself.
"It's time to eat, Miss Leaf. ”
The old lady's shouts were so loud that when Hongjian heard the words "eaten", her unassuming stomach "growled".
"Okay, auntie!" Ye Zi patted the dust off his body, straightened his hair briefly, and then left the house. He called out softly, "Hongmi, it's time to eat." ”
Red saw a somersault and landed steadily on the ground.
Ye Zi and Hongjian set up the table and stools, the old woman had already brought out the food, and the three of them ate around the table.
"Auntie, the people of the village, can you recognize it all?" asked Hongmi.
"Almost! What are you asking for?"
"I was on the roof just now and I saw two sneaky guys entering the village. Looking at their clothes, they are either rich or expensive, unlike the people in our village. After eating in a while, I want to go and see with you. The boss is not here now, and neither is the general of the Long family, and as the first guard, I have the responsibility to protect everyone. ”
The old woman smiled. "Yo, it's only a lot of work, and you've become a different person?"
"Auntie, don't laugh at me. Before, I was really ignorant, but now I just want to follow the boss and be a useful person. This is the first task he gave me, and I want to do it well. ”
"Okay, okay, after dinner, let's go and have a look. ”
Suddenly, Hongjian frowned, and whispered, "No need, they are here, just outside the door, my ears are really listening." With that, he put down the chopsticks in his hand, drew his sword, and said to Ye Zi and the old woman, "You two can eat in peace, and I will meet them!"
Hongmi jumped and jumped out the door.
"Well, what are you doing?" Red asked sharply when he saw the short sword crossed.
Mao Hai and Mao He were taken aback, but they quickly calmed down. "We got lost, and we got here. Now my stomach can't stop screaming, and I just want to beg for food. ”
They clutched their stomachs as they spoke, and the more they talked, the more pitiful they became.
When the old woman heard this, she opened the door and saw the two strange young men, and felt pity. "Come into the house, kid, I've cooked more today, let's share some with the two of you!"
The two brothers were not polite, and followed the old woman into the house, and saw Ye Zi eating.
The leaves were so beautiful that the brothers almost forgot about their hunger and stared at them with their eyes, but they didn't look back at them.
The old woman brought the two brothers to the table and made a bowl of food for each of them.
The two sat across from the leaves, where did they still have the appetite to eat. They just sat upright, staring at the leaves.
Hongjian couldn't stand it anymore and coughed dryly. The brothers came back to their senses and reluctantly ate one bite at a time.
Ye Zi quickly finished eating, turned around, and continued to clean up the house. When the brothers saw Ye Zi leave, they hurriedly finished their meal in a few gulps. They almost forgot that it was someone else's house, and the two of them walked straight towards Yezi's house.
"Hey!" Hongjian waved his short sword, forcing the two of them back three steps. "The two of you have also eaten, isn't it time to go!"
The two of them woke up like a dream, thanked them again and again, and then turned around and left very reluctantly.
These two guys don't have any good intentions. He left the village and began to sum up. In a short time, a "clever plan" has been designed.
Mao Hai and Mao He's "clever plan" is very simple, that is, to branch the red and then deceive the leaves.
The next day, Hako took Akami to the river, ready to catch a few fish, and go back to improve the food.
Hongmi threw out the hook, fixed the rod, and then sat aside and chatted with the leaves.
I don't know how long it took, the fishing rod moved, and when Hong saw this, he immediately closed the rod and pulled the line.
I saw a fat and big carp bite the hook, and it took a lot of effort for Hongmi to catch the fish ashore. The leaves spread out a piece of cloth that had been prepared long ago and wrapped the fish in it. After doing this, she beckoned Akami to pack up the fishing rod and it was time to go home and cook.
How did they know that this big fish was not caught by them with their real skills, but from the changes of Mao Hai. His obsession with leaves has reached the point of madness. He felt that he couldn't leave the leaf for a moment, so he paid attention to the leaf's every move.
Leaf and Red walked in the direction of the village.
Suddenly, a voice came from behind the leaves, this voice was thin and soft, it was the sound of the hairy sea changing into a big fish. He deliberately changed his voice to resemble a child's voice in order to elicit Ye's sympathy.
"Help, let me go!"
Ye Zi felt that the fish on her back was calling for help, so she hurriedly squatted down and put the big fish down. "Are you calling for help?" said Ye Zi to Big Fish.
"It's me. ”
"Are you a fish spirit?" Ye Zi asked curiously.
"Yes, yes, yes!" Mao Hai was thinking about how to mess with the leaves, but he didn't expect the leaves to speak first.
"Okay, then I'll put you back in the river now......"
"Don't!" Mao Hai pretended to be aggrieved, "My brother is still in the river, and the two of us were not originally in this river, our house was washed away by the flood, and we were brought to this river." I was so hungry just now that I accidentally bit your fishhook. Since you want to let me do a good deed, why don't you take my brother up and take us to find our home!"
Ye Zi's sympathy was overflowing, and when he saw that the big fish had a pitiful background, he agreed to its request.
She wrapped the big fish, turned around and went back to the river with Akami.
Hongjian repeatedly dissuaded Ye Zi, telling him to let go of the big fish and ignore other things.
Ye Zi was willing to listen to him, she only cared about groping in the river, and after a while, she grabbed another big carp with both hands.
"Let go of me!" the carp also spoke, the fish was transformed from the Mao River.
"Don't be afraid. Leaf said to the carp, "I'll reunite you with your brother right away." ”
"What brother, I don't have a brother! Let me go, or I'm welcome." Mao He roared angrily and kept fluttering.
Leaf hurriedly threw the carp into the river. She turned around and was about to ask the big fish on the shore if it was her brother. But before she could speak, she was swept away by a sudden whirlpool in the river.
Seeing that something was wrong, Hong shouted loudly, drew his short sword, and rushed straight up.
The whirlpool rolled the leaves into the distance, and Hongjian couldn't stop. He stepped on the surface of the water and ran forward quickly.
Mao Hai on the shore was stunned, thinking that he would just take away the leaves, but he didn't expect that there was a master by the side of the leaves.
The Mao River in the water was also shaken. In his eyes, how much of a storm can a small human make? He simply didn't run, just waiting for Hongmi to attack.
Hongmi's ability was not weak, and he saw that the whirlpool stopped. He sprang to his feet, took a few stones from his bosom, and shot them at the whirlpool.
"Whoosh" a few times, the whirlpool was hit by the incoming stones, and suddenly the waves were churning, as if water was boiling. "Wow!" Mao He in the water screamed in pain, and he pushed the leaves out of the water without paying attention.
Hongmi took the opportunity to rush forward and hugged the leaves. He tapped the surface of the water with one foot, rose lightly, and rushed to the shore in a few arrows.
Where was Mao Hai on the shore willing to let him go, only to see Mao Hai shouting "change". As this sound fell, the big carp on the ground turned into a human form, and the Mao River in the water also turned into a human form in an instant.
"It turned out to be you!" Hongjian angrily rushed to the crown, put down the leaves, touched the ground with both feet, jumped up, and kicked unceremoniously.
Mao Hai is a descendant of the dragon clan in the end, and he has thousands of years of cultivation, so he doesn't take Hongjian in his eyes at all. When he saw that Hong was menacing, he quickly took a breath and spit it out.
"Whoosh" a few times, accompanied by a miserable scream from Hongjian, only to see that the breath that Mao Hai spit out was mixed with many hidden weapons as small as needles.
Hongjian knelt on one leg, and after careful observation, he found that what shot him were fish bones. Fortunately, his skills are okay, but if he were an ordinary person, this fish bone would definitely pierce his body.
The leaves panicked and didn't know what to do.
Mao River walked ashore from the water and slowly approached the leaves.
"Don't come here!" Ye Zi yelled at Mao He.
"The girl has a meal for me, how can I be willing to hurt the girl?" said Mao He, getting closer and closer.
"Stop!" Mao Hai shouted in a commanding tone, "She's mine!"
"Brother!" Mao Hai said playfully. "Whoever gets it first is whoever's!"
Mao Hai turned around in an instant and jumped in front of Mao He. "Smack" A slap on Mao He's face, "Bastard, get out!"
Akami and Haha were stunned by Maokai's power. First the breath coming out of the mouth is so powerful, and then it is so fast that it is almost impossible for humans to do it.
Hongmi used all his strength to force out the fish bones that were stuck in his body. He protected the leaf behind him, drew his short sword, and held it horizontally in front of him, carefully defending.
"Girl," Mao Hai turned back to Ye Zi and said, "Don't be afraid, I don't mean anything else." When I saw the girl yesterday, I fell in love at first sight. When we met for the first time, I didn't dare to say it openly. Turning into a carp today is not to tease the girl, but I really love the girl, so I came up with this decision......"
"Don't say it!" Ye Zi said softly. "I'm already his **!"
"Is this waste?" Mao He smiled and pointed to Hongmi.
"It's not. No, my husband will come back soon, this is my guard!" Ye Zi hoped that the two brothers Maohe and Maohai would die, but she didn't know that she had encountered a stubborn person who would not stop until he achieved his goal.
"Since this kid is not the girl's husband, why did the girl lie to me that she was already his **son?" Mao Hai said, "I am infatuated with the girl, I only hope to be able to stay with the girl, and I have never thought of snubbing the girl......"
Mao He, who was on the side, had never seen his brother say such a sensual word, and he couldn't help laughing.
"Less nonsense!" said Korami, "my eldest wife, are you here to be casual and frivolous?"
With that, Hongmi rushed forward.
Mao Hai frowned, seeing that he couldn't make sense, it was better to let Mao He snatch Ye Ziming directly just now, and there would be no such trouble as now.
Mao Hai clasped his hands together, and there were words in his mouth, and as he continued to chant, the wind rose around him, and the wind became stronger and stronger. Suddenly, he shouted, "Shocking Thunder Array" and "Open".
"Boom", there was a burst of thunder in the sky, followed by a flash of lightning down, "crackling" twice, and hit the ground.
Fortunately, Hongmi had already flashed to the side. The power of this thunder and lightning should not be underestimated, although it is not as powerful as the "Triple Shocking Thunder Array", but the force of its impact on the ground is not weak at all.
Red dodged left and right, dodging the lightning again and again.
The leaf on the side suddenly collapsed to the ground, tears instantly welled up in her eyes, she remembered the picture of her brother being struck by lightning in the forbidden land, and thought of the scene of Bai Guang being struck by lightning and almost dying in order to save her.
"Don't fight, stop fighting, I beg you. Ye Zi thought, if Bai Guang is here, he is not the opponent of these two people at all. She thought that the white light couldn't fight the attack of thunder and lightning at all. So, in order not to cause trouble to Bai Guang again, he simply went straight to the point and agreed to their request. Let them stay away from the white light, away from this village, and exchange their own bodies for peace.
Ye Zi sat on the ground, tears welling up, and her heart was silent as if it were dead.
She wiped away her tears and stood up.
Hongmi's leg was hit by a lightning strike at this time, and he fell to the ground, sizing in pain and cursing.
"Stop!" the leaf stood in front of Hongmi. "Tell me, what do you want me to do to let him go?"
Mao Hai was overjoyed, it seemed that she had figured it out. "Of course you're married to me!" Mao Hai said.
"Shameless, bastard, have the ability to kill me!" Hongmi felt that he was too useless to protect the boss's wife. Just let those two bastards kill him, and he is worthy of the errand given to him by Bai Guang.
Mao He was not convinced, and he also liked leaves, just because Mao Hai was his brother, so he took the lead. He heard that Hongjian was bent on begging for death, and he happened to have nowhere to fire in his stomach, so he rushed up with an arrow step, thinking that Hongjian would be the result.
"What are you doing?" Mao Hai kicked Mao He out of the air. He thought about it now, he finally got Ye Zi to agree to his request, but he couldn't let anyone ruin the current good result.
Ye Zi was disheartened, and his eyes were indifferent except for indifference. She said to Mao Hai, "Three days later, eight sedan chairs will come to pick me up, and I will wait at the entrance of the village." ”
"Okay, good!" Mao Hai was about to jump up, "It's a word." ”
