12. The Juggernaut's Decision (Medium)
"The old man of the Stygian River will examine the merits. Three years, one hundred and twenty-three demons, one hundred and twenty-three files, each of which may be selected for questioning. Without us by our side, if something goes wrong, you will be thrown into the Netherworld immediately!" Ye Yao looked nervous.
Xue Li was also anxious, and pulled him and said, "Ye Yao's Neidan and the merits that have been saved for three years are all on you." What if you run away after changing your spiritual powers?!"
Aze wanted to comfort Ye Yao for a few words, but after listening to Xue Li's doubts, he felt angry and funny.
"One hundred and twenty-three demon spirits, one hundred and twenty-three files, I have memorized them several times in the past few days. If you don't feel at ease, you can just ask. It's just that...... It's too late! As soon as it gets dark and the merit post is finished, we have to wait for tomorrow. Although this is the border between the Demon Realm and the Netherworld, and there are few living beings, the abnormal movement of the 'Alien Feather' when it is revealed will inevitably not alarm the defenders of the two realms, and it is also a big trouble. ”
"But you don't have ......any spiritual power," Ye Yao still hesitated.
"I am the Dominant. Aze said.
Ye Yao was stunned, "What?"
Aze smiled and said, "I am the master of this matter, and everything is up to me to decide." Either everyone stays here and waits for death, or you can watch the sunset over the long river in peace, and I'll go down for a walk and be back before dark. ”
Xue Li's heart was full of fire, and he bared his teeth and said, "Aze, do you want to fight? Today, my aunt and grandmother ate you!"
"Please—"
Aze spread his arms and pointed to the unoutlined mass of dusk on the horizon.
Xue Li hesitated and looked at Ye Yao.
Ye Yao remained motionless, as if she were a carving, except for the breeze on the cliff that stirred her sideburns and skirt.
She raised her hands and formed a "lotus seal" on her chest, and a small cloud of cyan qi quickly swirled in the middle.
"The mighty river, its water is rising;
The veins of the lake, its waves.
Trickling streams, its sound murmuring
......
All rivers return to the sea, and ten thousand laws return to the sect. ”
With the whispering "Ballad of Drawing Water", the breath slowly condensed into a transparent cyan pearl, hanging steadily between Ye Yao and Aze.
Aze looked at her and slowly opened his arms.
Nedan circled around him, and like a living creature, he found his dantian qi sea, and quickly sank into it with a swoop.
"Hmm-"
Aze squatted down suddenly, looking a little pained.
Ye Yao suddenly became nervous, even if her spiritual power was almost exhausted, even if Aze was once a person who had attained enlightenment, if she wanted to accept her Neidan, the heart-burning pain of mutual exclusion at first was unbearable for ordinary people.
"It's me who didn't think it through, I'll take it out for you right away!" she stepped forward to support Aze, and was about to lure Nedan out.
Azeyi grabbed her arm, "Don't move!"
Beads of sweat kept pouring out from his forehead, he gritted his teeth, clenched his hands, his whole body trembled slightly, but he was looking at the direction of the sunset.
After a moment, he suddenly let go of his hand.
A sentence of "It's okay-", the breath is still very messy.
Then he stood up and walked towards the edge of the cliff.
Ye Yao wanted to stop him, but was grabbed by Xue Li.
As soon as she turned around, she saw Xue Li's pleading eyes.
On the line of life and death, everything is pinned on Aze.
At this time, there is no other choice but to trust him.
Trust him to come back, trust him to come back safely!
......
In the blink of an eye, Aze had already grasped the rope with one hand and jumped down without the slightest hesitation.
Ye Yao wanted to pounce to see the situation, but was grabbed by Xue Li.
"Master, don't look, don't listen, don't think. If he doesn't come back after dark, we'll get out of here at once!"
As she spoke, she straightened her ears and tried to listen to the movement below.
At first, there was the sound of footsteps "kicking-kicking-thump-thmmm
"Sunset and dusk, when the devil meets. We beasts, we hate this hour the most!
"That's the way the world says. This is the Demon Realm, and you can meet demons from morning to night, so aren't you unhappy from morning to night?"
Ye Yao and Xue Li sat on the edge of the cliff with their legs dangling above the abyss, facing the endless flow of the Lechuan veins and the indistinguishable form of the sunset, boredly "admiring" the exotic scenery.
Every time, I came and went in a hurry, and I never saw this place properly.
The place of the demon clan is barren and desolate, but it has the most primitive poignancy.
Cliffs, long rivers, evening winds, sunsets, dry and cracked earth, and the occasional delicate weed......
Like, a sigh.
......
"Ye Yao—"
Xue Li rarely called her softly.
"What's wrong? Suddenly so polite, do you think I won't survive tonight?" Ye Yao asked with a smile.
Xue Li didn't bother to pay attention to her not funny jokes, and said solemnly: "Actually, I believe in Aze." There was a kind of openness in his eyes that I had never seen before. However, he is not a little Taoist priest, is he? We have accepted all our speculations, and it is not the work of a frank person. ”
After a moment of silence, Ye Yao reached out and touched the cinnabar mole on her forehead.
He ...... It should be the Protoss. In the absence of any spiritual power, with the power of the bloodline alone, he suppressed the 'Alien Feather' for me. Such a talent is extraordinary, and only the Cang and Ze clans are likely to appear. He's not from the Ze clan, so ...... Cang's family has nine surnames from all over the world, I don't know which one it belongs to?"
Xue Li nodded straightly, "Makes sense." His water nature, no different from you and me, must be from the water tribe. However, since it is the Cang Clan's Water Clan, why should he avoid the Taiwu Clan's Feng Mo?"
"What's even stranger is that since he is the Divine Monarch of the Cang Clan, how could he be injured like that by a petty fat thief?" Ye Yao said as she bit her lip.
"Eh-"
Xue Li thumped his chest hard, "It's really sad! He even knows that you are a half-demon, but we are still guessing his identity." How do you make friends, how do you have fun together?!"
"Snow leaves—"
Ye Yao tilted her head and said indifferently: "He is not our friend. A person with the power of blood is destined to be extraordinary in this life. In the past, he had no mana and needed our help, and our help was a bond. Today, he paid off his debts, and we both paid off, and our fate will come to an end. See you again in the future...... I'm afraid it's ......."
......
"I'm afraid I won't be able to eat enough! Just these two little girls with thin arms and legs!"
A gruff voice sounded behind itself.
Then, a sharp voice responded: "No matter how small the mosquito is, it is still meat! These two little girls with fine skin and tender meat are delicious at first glance!"
"Bake it, sprinkle it with a layer of crispy powder, and smear it with magic honey dew......"
"Idiot! Steaming is the only way to ensure the original taste!"
“......”
Ye Yao and Xue Li turned around together, only to see two strangely shaped "big guys" standing not far away.
They were tall and short, fat and thin, all dressed in tattered black robes, with horns reaching to the sky, and each holding a large black iron fork, and scratched about the ground, as if arguing over how to cook the most delicious of their two preys.
