Chapter 16: Lost

Li Xia hid in a cave and took two deep breaths to calm herself down. He touched a small stone and used it as a medium to analyze other present situations on the ground.

He has the spirit and the Chang'an sword, but it is obviously impossible to defeat the Black Wind Cliff Lord to cross Bai Xun, he is not familiar with this forest and it, he doesn't even know where he is now, let alone talk about finding people. Li Xia quickly sighed, the time and place were favorable, and he couldn't even occupy the same.

I don't know what happened to Chi Yuan and Gu Yuan. He thought a little erratically.

And Erya's parents, are they still alive? Her father sounds like a traitor to the Black Wind Cliffs, but what kind of person was he in the first place, is there something in his hands that has been hunted down all the way, and where are they now?

The golden light on his finger flashed slightly, and the ring seemed to be tightened, and Li Xia groped for it, suddenly understanding that it was the spirit that had slipped back.

That must have been a failure to win.

Li Xia didn't expect it to win at all, after all, this guy's willingness to show up was a great joy in itself. Li Xia sighed softly, rubbed her temples and thought about it repeatedly, always feeling that she had left some clue......

Erya's parents were kidnapped by the black dragon.

A glimmer of light suddenly appeared in the dark thought channel, and Li Xia's eyes suddenly lit up. The black dragon is here now, and it is estimated that it is unlikely that it will be possible to deliberately take two people who are almost defenseless to a far place, so ...... They should be in this mountain!

How can you find them?

Li Xia's first instinct was to ask the Soul to find it. This guy is very sensitive, and he can definitely smell the smell of blood that should be there.

He rubbed the golden ring and gently tapped the small ring with his spiritual power. This time, the spirit obediently appeared, tilting his head to look at him in a golden light.

...... If it weren't for the fact that this guy was tall, this expression would still be very cute.

Li Xia almost instantly realized that this thing was not very good, the spirit was too conspicuous, if he was allowed to lead the way, Bai Xun didn't need to use his divine sense to find him, just climb the tree and take a look at the forest. But it was clear that Li Xia's own nose did not have the ability to track thousands of miles, so the boy held his cheeks and fell into deep thought in the hole.

An eagle should be raised in the future. Li Xia thought unboundedly.

He glared at the heroic Qilin with a sad face: "Hey, can you get a little smaller?"

The spirit seemed to understand what he was thinking, and twisted his body. Li Xia looked at it expectantly, only to see the guy spin in a circle and retract into the ring.

Lixia: "......"

He suddenly had the urge to take the ring off and sell it for money.

Fortunately, the spirit was still reliable in the end, and it didn't disappoint Li Xia for long, so the ring emitted a small wisp of golden light like a fire fold, stubbornly pointing in a certain direction.

Li Xia was overjoyed, and the breath was hidden in the moment, quietly blending into the borderless night.

The forest was quite large, and Li Xia didn't know how far he had walked, until the smell of blood in the air suddenly became stronger, and he suddenly came back to his senses from the too illusory realm.

Not far away, under the cliff, there were two figures.

Li Xia rushed over.

It was a man and a woman. The man, about forty years old, fell to the ground in a very strange posture like a puppet with a broken string, and his eyes looked lifeless at the night sky. A sharp blade pierced his chest, and a rust-colored sword fell beside him, a sinuous and dry crimson that seemed to speak of the tragedy of the past. The woman was much younger, probably in her twenties, and she was leaning against the cliff, covered in wounds.

Li Xia tentatively walked over and reached out to probe her snort.

And breathing, just very weak. Li Xia didn't dare to slack off, his right hand clasped on the woman's vein, and carefully sent a little spiritual power over. The woman groaned as if she couldn't stand the stimulation, and opened her eyes very slowly.

This is a very beautiful woman, but her eyes are dark and she barely shines. In the depths of this dark forest, Li Xia was stunned by this gaze and broke out in a cold sweat. He tried to say something to reassure the woman, but he was startled back when he said it, and the woman suddenly stood up and grabbed his wrist.

She seemed to want to say something. Li Xia asked tentatively, "Is that your husband?"

The woman opened her mouth, and a cloud of bright red blood was spat out. She nodded/

"Don't be afraid, I'll help you go back. Li Xia tentatively carried her.

The woman held him down and shook her head firmly.

Li Xia saw that she was struggling too hard, and was afraid that she would hurt herself, so she had to squat down again, and continued to guess with a sad face: "Did those guys from the Black Wind Cliff kill your husband?

The woman shook her head. The leaves rattled, and a glimmer of light leaked out, shining right on the blood-stained face. The woman opened her mouth, as if to smile at Li Xia, and several fragmented words came out of her injured throat: "Yes, I, do ......"

"You killed him?" Li Xia suddenly remembered the terrifying family life in Chi Yuan's mouth.

The woman nodded contentedly: "Early, soon, should ......"

She made a "gurgling" sound in her throat, and she wanted to say something but couldn't say it anymore. She was spasming all over, but she increased the strength of the hand that was holding Lixia's wrist. Under the skylight, there was a hint of supplication in the eyes that were originally so cold that they were shocking: "Woman, woman...... Two ......"

"Two daughters, are they?" Li Xia knew that she was powerless to return to such a serious injury, and felt sorry for Erya, "Don't worry, I will take care of Erya." ”

"Thank you......" She seemed to want to say something, but her strength ran out all at once. The hand that grabbed Li Xia was released suddenly, and the woman fell to the ground in the same position as before, her body trembled slightly, and her pupils dilated.

Li Xia was silent. He stood for a while, silently dug two pits, and buried the two bodies separately.

He could imagine what kind of desperation could make this helpless woman choose to die with the other when both of them were in trouble, and he could also imagine the man's angry and ferocious counterattack after the sneak attack. If you do something wrong, you will be hurt forever, and there will be no turning back.

You can't leave when you're alive, but when you're dead, you're far away.

Lyxia twisted the ring in silence and followed the small beam out of the forest. He had been thinking about Chi Yuan and Gu Yuan, and at this time, he had no other worries in his heart, and he drove the Chang'an Sword more and more like a meteor. By the time he saw the little dilapidated house, it was already getting dark.

Li Xia's heart "chuckled".

The roof had been lifted.

Time seems to stand still, everything in the world is silent, and the surrounding scenery has become a sparsely cut picture. Li Xia didn't even realize what he was doing, and when he came back to his senses, he was already standing in the courtyard.

There is a good chance that the black dragon will set up an ambush here. The last shred of reason in Li Xia was shouting. It's a pity that even if Bai Xun himself is standing here now, he can't dispel the idea of Li Xia rushing in. The dilapidated wooden door had now been torn apart on the ground, and Li Xia stepped into the room and was stunned by the sight before him.

The red of the place has solidified.

Erya fell in the center of the pool of blood, and blood was still oozing from her chest. Li Xia tentatively probed her snort, but the tentacles were already warm. Li Xia lamented her twisted limbs, her hands clenched into fists unconsciously.

He did it. If he hadn't insisted on going his own way, if he had been able to withstand the pressure and stay here, Erya would not have died.

It was he who chose to leave this room behind his injuries and run to take risks in order not to live with a debt of conscience, so where is bravery, it is simply an escape. He gave the power of life to the two people who might have died, but pushed these few who could have survived to death. Li Xia really wanted to ask herself, what was the choice at that time?

He walked around the house, half happy and half sad, and found that Chi Yuan and Gu Yuan were not there. This is not bad news at least, but where will the two of them go at this time? Gu Yuan injured that step of the field, where can they go?

Lixia summons the Spirits out. The Thread Spirit can be linked to the Red Spirit, which means that he can directly locate the Akabane Sword. However, the golden unicorn spun around in place, whined very innocently, and stood still, looking back at Li Xia innocently with a pair of black eyes.

Like falling into an ice cave. Sword Spirit is missing!

It is rare for the sword spirit to lose contact, unless it is the owner's forced release or the sword spirit itself has a problem. The first scenario is obviously impossible, then the second ......

What's wrong with Chi Yuan, is he sick or injured!?

Gu Yuan's original little effort was not enough, and the internal injuries were indeed not light, so if Chi Yuan was injured to the point that even the sword spirit failed, then these two people ......

Li Xia didn't dare to think further.

He almost jumped up and rushed out of the house, but stood in the courtyard in a daze. He knew he should go and find someone, but where to find them, did they run away, or did they ...... Caught?

If he is Gu Yuan or Chi Yuan, where is he most likely to go at this time?

Both of them were injured, it was impossible to travel far, and they had to recuperate from their injuries, so they had to find a Langzhong, so ......

Li Xia's strange brain circuits gave him a name he didn't even expect: Huang Daxian'er.

Gu Yuan had tried poison for him, and he had a friendship, and he didn't live far away, not to mention that it was much safer in the miasma forest...... Li Xia almost immediately convinced himself of this speculation, and immediately decided to go west. He couldn't find Huang Daxian'er's residence directly, so he could only try to settle down in the small town called Shijia Town first.

It was already late when I found the dilapidated town, and Li Xia looked at the sky in the middle of the moon and estimated that it was the third watch. He didn't expect anyone to wake up at this point, he just wanted to hurry to the temple where Gu Yuan took him to set his position. That time when he went to Huang Daxian'er's joint, he pretended to be dead all the way and was dragged by Gu Yuan, so he really let him find it by himself, it was really a little difficult for him.

After entering the city, Li Xia was stunned for a moment. Unexpectedly, it was already this time, there were still a few lights on the street, and a few old people were walking forward with their bodies bent forward, almost colliding with Li Xia. The thick fragrance of medicine came over, and Li Xia almost thought that she was dreaming.

"Uncle. He hurriedly stepped forward to stop an old man, "What's wrong with you?"

"Isn't this the seriously ill offspring boy last time? Oh, I see that your face is still not good, so hurry up. ”

Li Xia was inexplicable: "Where to go?"

"Don't you know? Yesterday there was a doctor here, a very good person, who said that our illness here is not entirely the cause of the miasma, and that the medicine is being distributed for free, so go and take a look, my old cousin said that this works well!"

Only then did Li Xia suddenly remember that he would not be able to enter the woods without the Pure Heart Pill.

Since he is a Langzhong, this medicine should be available. Li Xia calculated to get into the queue between the old men and children, and it was not until the end of the line that he and the doctor opened their mouths wide-eyed.

"Sword Master Li?"

"Mr. Shen, why are you?"
