Chapter 44: Karma is ruthless and people are affectionate (2)
They followed the bluestone path in the forest until they went deep into the forest, feared by the danger of the divine beasts, and there was no sound of apes and tigers roaring, not even birdsong. All the animals kept their mouths shut, and it was a very long path.
Chu Xiyin admired the green trees around her, smelled the fragrance of the small wildflowers on both sides of the green bricks, and felt calm.
After walking for a while, he came to a huge stone, and the unicorn made a spell on the stone. He walked in with the demon in his hand, and Xia Qingning and Chu Xiyin glanced at each other and followed in.
The scene inside is very different from the outside, the green bamboo on the left is secluded, the stream is tinkling, there is movement in the stillness, and the lotus fragrance is bursting in the small turquoise lake on the right, and occasionally a fish jumps out of the water, takes away a lotus flower that blooms in the water, swallows it into the belly and falls back into the lake with a snort.
Chu Xiyin glanced at Xia Qingning, and said in his heart: "If my guess is correct, this should be what the space of the two of them will look like after merging." ”
"Makes sense!" Xia Qingning also felt that the layout here was obviously the preference of the two people.
As expected, there is a bamboo building in front of the left, quiet and elegant, and there is a courtyard in front of the right, with blue bricks and tiles, which is very magnificent.
The unicorn carried the demon to the bamboo building, and the two behind him guessed that it should be the residence of Ah Yue in the mouth of the unicorn.
Bursts of bamboo fragrance waft in, and smelling it makes people feel comfortable. They followed the Qilin into the bamboo building and into a simple and comfortable bedroom.
There are no excessive decorations in the room, and there is a black lyre on the case, the body of the piano is clean and shiny, and it is obvious that someone has often wiped it. Looking at the seats again, all of them were clean and tidy, and suddenly Chu Xiyin's heart was slightly moved. It seems that after Ah Yue was half dead, the irascible Qilin took good care of him and the place where he lived.
Xia Qingning guessed his identity as soon as he saw the handsome Xuanyi boy lying on the bed, "He is the black Jiao who cultivates Xiaocheng!"
"Yes!" Qilin threw down the demon and took Xia Qingning's hand and approached the bed, his tone was a little eager and trembling, "Please look at him!"
Qilin is looking forward to it and is also very afraid, what he expects is that Xia Qingning really has the ability to save Ah Yue, and what he is afraid of is that Xia Qingning is exaggerated, his Ah Yue still can't wake up, can't talk to him, can't stroke the piano for him......
He was entangled all the time along this short road, and it felt as if someone was holding a knife and struggling with you little by little.
Xia Qingning leaned over and checked the veins of the black jiao, and he already had a few in his heart. He asked the Qilin, "What about the immortal who specializes in sucking human essence?"
"I was beaten in front of the bamboo forest and scattered!" Qilin said truthfully.
No wonder the essence in this black Jiao's body has recovered a lot, but because there is no soul in his body, he lies on the bed silently as always.
Xia Qingning looked out the window, and sure enough, he saw that there was still a trace of black Jiao's essence outside, and he didn't realize that the corners of his lips were slightly raised.
When the demon heard that his sister was dead, his whole body fell to the ground softly, tears welling up in his eyelashes, "Sister ......"
Xia Qingning didn't talk nonsense, and with a wave of his sleeves, he wiped out the demon and killed him. In the stunned gaze of the Qilin, he searched for the soul of the black Jiao in the dotted soul fire, and after a while, he used his mana to glue the soul that was about to disperse back together. Looking at the unstable two souls and remnants, the Qilin shed tears of joy.
Xia Qingning cast a spell to lead the soul into Hei Jiao's body, and then cast a spell to recall the last part of Hei Jiao's essence from the bamboo forest outside the window and poured it into Hei Jiao's body, and then let out a long breath.
"Thank you, Immortal......" Qilin knelt on the ground and kowtowed to Xia Qingning, Xia Qingning held him up and said, "You can be mentally prepared, his soul is damaged, and it is likely that he will not be in good health, have incomplete five senses, or have a damaged memory in the future." You're going to be a drag on you!"
Qilin wiped his tears with the back of his hand, and said firmly: "In the past, he used his life to protect me, and in the future, I will protect him!"
Xia Qingning nodded with satisfaction.
In order to express his gratitude to Qilin for skillfully cooking tea for them, he told the story of him and Heijiao Ah Yue.
"When I was very young, my father and mother were killed by the demons, and I practiced for hundreds of years while on the run, wandered here, and relied on my identity as a divine beast to compete with Ah Yue for territory. The more he talked, the more embarrassed he became, but there was a joy in his expression that could not be concealed.
Chu Xiyin thought it was funny and asked, "Did you lose the fight?"
Qilin nodded, "The fairy guessed correctly, Ah Yue not only didn't kill me, but also invited me to drink, and then we became friends who talked about everything." Later, I had the cheekiness to move my space to him. If you have something to do, you can talk to Ah Yue, and after the discussion, you will drink wine and eat meat. ”
Qilin skillfully poured tea for them, and continued: "Two hundred years later, there will be many young adults in the town who have been sucked in their essence and souls, and the two of us plan to eliminate the harm for the people. We transformed into villagers and got to know the demons and the fairies respectively. Ah Yue quickly recognized the identity of the fairy and arrested her. And I ...... was fascinated by the demon, believed the demon's words, and felt that Ah Yue's forcible detention of the girl had bad intentions, and it was really a loss of identity as a divine beast. ”
"Then you were annoyed Ah Yue?" Chu Xiyin felt that this unicorn was really stupid, and it had a fight with that bear.
Kirin nodded sheepishly.
Chu Xiyin held his forehead.
Xia Qingning just smiled, he liked to see the vivid expression on Chu Xiyin's face.
"Not only that, but I ...... I also came back and secretly let go of the immortals. "The unicorn's head is hanging and it's about to smash into the ground," After sending the immortal back to the fairy, he was almost killed by them, but Ah Yue suddenly came. ”
Chu Xiyin took a sip of tea, and she guessed the rest of the matter.
The two brothers must have fought over those two scourges. As expected, Qilin continued: "I injured Ah Yue, he lit a large amount of requiem incense in my house, and pretended to be me to go to the demon appointment. By the time I found him, he had lost all his essence and his soul was gone. That's when I panicked. He's pretending to be me......" so that the Kirin can wake up when he sees his body.
Xia Qingning sighed heavily, "You must think twice before doing things in the future, your friend has become like this, and there is no one to protect you anymore." ”
Qilin nodded teachablely, "Yes, Shangxian!"
The three of them were drinking in the tea room, and Ah Yue woke up.
"It's noisy!" he lifted the blanket and got out of bed, his snow-white socks on the floor, yawning incessantly, "Who are you?"
Qilin happily bounced up from his seat, rushed over and hugged Ah Yue, "Ah Yue...... It's great that you're awake......"
"You're strangling me!" Ah Yue pushed this strange person hard, but this strange manpower was too big to push away. He only felt that his bones were about to be strangled, and he beat the strange person for a while, "I hurt...... The bones hurt ......" voice was a little coquettish, like a ten-year-old child.
Hearing the other party cry out in pain, Qilin suddenly let go of his hand, and looked Ah Yue up and down nervously, "Where does it hurt......?"
Ah Yue rubbed his aching arm and looked at Qilin and Xia Qingning with strange eyes.
Before the Qilin called, Xia Qingning had already gotten up and stretched out his hand, taking the pulse of Ah Yue again, "It doesn't matter if his cultivation has regressed for hundreds of years, and he can think about it again when his memory is gone, this is already the best result." At least, he did his best.
Ah Yue withdrew his hand defensively, although he felt that none of them were bad people, but the spiritual sense of his divine beast was still there, and he was still panicked when he met a high-level cultivator.
In comparison, Ah Yue felt that the unicorn was much closer, after all, they were the same kind. Therefore, Ah Yue grabbed the Qilin and hid directly behind him.
"Ah Yue is not afraid, they saved us!" Qilin patted his hand and comforted them, and looked at Xia Qingning and them with an embarrassed face, fortunately people didn't care, otherwise he would be even more embarrassed. This family was kind enough to save the lives of their brothers, but they were on guard against others, and they simply didn't know what to do.
In fact, Ah Yue can't be blamed for guarding against Xia Qingning and them, who made them high-level monks, and high-level monks have the habit of taming divine beasts as mounts or under them.
Ah Yue relaxed a lot under Qilin's comfort, but the next question almost stunned Qilin, "Who are you?"
Qilin only felt that his nose was sour, their friendship for hundreds of years, he actually forgot about himself like this? He only felt that his heart was blocked, but he forced a smile and said: "I am Qilin, you can call me Ah Lin in the future!"
Ah Yue nodded and yawned heavily, "I'm so tired, Ah Lin, I want to sleep for a while!"
When Qilin heard this, he looked at Xia Qingning again with worry, Xia Qingning smiled slightly and told him: "He just woke up, his soul is unstable, and he is naturally sleepy!"
So, Ah Yue's child went to bed again, and Qilin helped him cover the quilt and followed Xia Qingning's footsteps out of the bedroom.
"It's time for us to hit the road!" Xia Qingning's gaze looked over and over in the two overlapping spaces, and said, "Although your place looks hidden, it is difficult to hide from the eyes of high-ranking monks. With that, he sealed his hands and added a layer of prohibition to these two spaces. "In this way, few of you will have a hundred years of quiet time!"
Qilin bowed deeply at Xia Qingning, "Thank you Immortal!"
Xia Qingning accepted this gift from him, and they were respectfully sent out of the space by him.
The two of them flew high into the air with their swords and headed north.
In the space, Qilin, who had just returned, heard Ah Yue's voice, "I'm so hungry, what should I do, where is there anything to eat?"
When he stepped into the bedroom, he saw Ah Yue, who was neat and clean in the past, walking on the ground wearing snow-white socks, and he had turned over the room everywhere, but he didn't see anything to eat. Cultivation is regressive, and he is afraid that he has forgotten how to open the valley.
Qilin tugged at the corners of his mouth sourly in his heart and told him, "I'll make you food, can you sleep in bed for a while?"
As soon as Ah Yue saw that the unicorn was back, he ran over happily, he just opened his eyes and everyone was gone, he didn't want to be alone, he was afraid, but he didn't know what he was afraid of. "No, I'm going to follow you!" pouted willfully, both cute and pitiful.
"Then let's put on our shoes first, and then go and eat, okay?" As he spoke, Qilin pressed Ah Yue to sit on a bamboo chair, brought boots from the side of the bed, and squatted down to put them on Ah Yue.
