Chapter Seventy-Seven: Approaching the Truth
Tang Zixi's face was fierce, not only did he not let go, but he bit harder and harder, and a low roar came out of his throat.
Li Yu jumped up and down in pain, and finally broke free, lifted his sleeves and looked at it, only to find that his arm was bitten and bruised, fortunately, the fabric of his clothes was good, and he was not bitten and bloody. Rao was like this, and he was so hurt that his tears were shining, and he said aggrievedly: "Who did I recruit to provoke whom?"
He was whirring and blowing cool air at the wound, and from time to time he peeked at the culprit who was sitting on the ground in a daze.
At this moment, Tang Zixi has completely lost his previous fierceness, but looks a little sluggish, coupled with the white and blue face, it looks a little flustered. At least that's how Li Yu feels at the moment.
But he hesitated and didn't dare to walk over, to be honest, he was frightened, go over and care about it, worried about being bitten again, just look at it like this, and a little unbearable. He didn't know what was going on, let alone what she was seeing, but his instincts told him that she needed to be alone at the moment.
I don't know how long it has been, Li Yu, who is leaning against the stone wall, is about to fall asleep. At this time, Tang Zixi actually stood up slowly, silently walked up to him and stood still.
Li Yu, who was half-asleep, opened his eyes like a rhino, and when he saw a blue face in front of him at first glance, he immediately screamed, jumped up, and raised his hand to draw his sword. As soon as his hand grabbed the hilt of the sword, he stopped, turned his head slowly, and saw that it was Tang Zixi, so he breathed a sigh of relief, and said, "Can you say hello in advance next time, I was almost scared to death by you." ”
From beginning to end, Tang Zixi was motionless, just looked at him blankly, and suddenly asked, "Do you think it's terrible to be dead, or is it terrible to be alive?"
"Of course it's terrible to die. Li Yu said without hesitation, looked up and saw the other party's inquiring eyes, thought about it and added, "Death means it's over, it's over." No memories, no feelings, nothing. ”
Tang Zixi opened his mouth again and asked, "Do you believe that there is retribution in this world?"
Li Yu was a little unsure of what the other party wanted to say, and hesitated for a while before saying uncertainly: "Yes...... His eyes were full of surprise, and he didn't know why, he suddenly felt that the girl in front of him was different from before, and he couldn't say what was different, but it made him a little scared for no reason.
"That's good!" Tang Zixi nodded, and suddenly turned to leave, although her speed was not fast, but it was extremely steady, step by step, step by step.
Looking at the back of the other party gradually leaving, I don't know why a strange thought surged in Li Yu's heart, if he didn't follow this time, he would never have any intersection with her again in this life, and hurriedly shouted: "Where are you going?"
This time, Tang Zixi didn't answer, just raised his slender arm and waved.
"Wait for me!" Li Yu's heart tightened, regardless of the thirty-seven twenty-one hurriedly followed, he soon caught up with Tang Zixi, and said with a smile, "I'll go too!"
Tang Zixi turned his head slightly to look at him, and a faint smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.
Seeing this brilliant smile, Li Yu was stunned for a moment, then blushed, and said, "I'm scared alone." ”
As soon as the words came out, he regretted it, and scolded himself in his heart for being a fool, and if he couldn't speak, he wouldn't say it. He thought that the other party would definitely laugh at him as soon as he said this, but he didn't think that he had waited for a long time without moving, and when he looked up, he found that Tang Zixi had already walked out a few feet away.
He secretly scolded himself for being hypocritical, and hurriedly quickened his pace to keep up. Just as he was about to say a few more words to ease the embarrassing atmosphere, who knew that before he opened his mouth, he heard Tang Zixi speak: "Do you have any weapons?"
"Yes!" Li Yu hurriedly untied the long sword at his waist and turned the hilt upside down.
Tang Zixi grabbed the long sword and pulled it his hand.
Li Yu exclaimed in surprise, and before he could stop the blood gushing out, he was so angry that he shouted, "Are you crazy?"
Tang Zixi had already flown up under her feet, and then with a wave of the long sword, she only heard a stabbing sound, as if something had been cut, and then she pressed the bloody palm on it.
Only then did Li Yu realize that the top of his head was actually a piece of cloth, but the color was extremely dark, and it looked almost the same as the surroundings, no wonder he didn't notice it before. However, when his gaze turned to the crack where Tang Zixi's palm was holding, he finally noticed that something was wrong.
It turned out that a thick dark green liquid was oozing from the edge of this crack, and where this liquid reached, the crack was squirming desperately, healing at a speed visible to the naked eye. This strange scene shocked Li Yu's jaw and almost dropped.
Seeing that the crack was getting smaller and smaller, Tang Zixi raised the long sword again without hesitation, smacked twice, and pulled out a very deep hole with both hands, and then threw the long sword casually, grabbed both sides of the crack with both hands, kicked his legs suddenly, and pulled hard with a loud cry in his mouth.
"Thorn-"
The huge cloth was finally torn apart completely, and suddenly the lights were bright, as if from dawn to sunrise.
Only then did Li Yu realize that this was actually a natural huge tree hole, surrounded by tangled and intertwined tree roots, each of which was thicker than his waist. Judging from the scale of this space, this ancient tree is more than a thousand years old. He watched in amazement.
At this time, Tang Zixi also fell from mid-air exhausted, falling to the ground with a muffled bang.
Li Yu was awakened, and was about to run over when he found that the other party was staggering to his feet with a long sword, looking up at somewhere above his head, with a sad look in his eyes.
He followed the other's gaze curiously, but saw only strange dark green balls, and couldn't help asking, "What is this?" but he soon regretted asking it, because he could faintly see the shadow of a person in the ball closest to them.
"The oldest of them was fifteen years old, and the youngest was just over the moon. I don't know when, Tang Zixi stood beside him.
Li Yu said in a trembling voice: "Who did it?"
"A woman named Kurohime. Tang Zixi's voice was very calm, and he couldn't hear any emotional fluctuations.
"Why did she do this?" Li Yu felt the blood rush to his brain, and unconsciously clenched his fists.
"To not die. Tang Zixi said lightly, "I should have thought of it a long time ago, the so-called 'Heavenly Evil Array' is just a trick, the purpose is to avoid people's eyes, what she really wants is this 'Big Dipper Seven Star Array' that can make her reborn." ”
Li Yu suddenly felt that something was wrong, and when he looked back, he found that the other party's face was terrifying, and the strong murderous aura in his eyes made him unconsciously shiver, and he hesitated for a moment and said, "How do you know?"
Tang Zixi shook his head slightly and said, "I don't know, there is a voice in my head that told me." ”
She looked up at the balls and muttered, "My instincts tell me it's one of them." ”
"Which one?" Li Yu looked at the strange balls, trying to see the people inside, but he could only see a shadowy shadow.
Tang Zixi glanced at him, grabbed the hem of his clothes without saying a word, and tore off the hem and trousers of the clothes in a few clicks, and then tied a knot here, a knot there, and actually changed a good gorgeous dress into a neat short dress on the spot. Then he took the sword in his mouth, grabbed the root of the tree next to it, and swooped up.
"Where are you going?" Li Yu hurriedly shouted.
"Bang-" A small box fell directly, just at Li Yu's feet, and Tang Zixi's voice came from afar, "If I can't come back, this "Soul Leaving Dafa" and the Bagua Mirror will be kept by you." ”
"Soul Leaving Dafa?"
Li Yu was stunned, looking at the small box and the rapidly shrinking figure above his head, he didn't come back to his senses for a long time.
At this moment, a faint sound of breaking the air came from behind him, and he didn't have time to think about it, so he grabbed the small box on the ground and stuffed it into his arms, and at the same time punched his backhand.
Unexpectedly, this confident punch missed, and then his right shoulder hurt, and he had been hit by the opponent's hidden weapon. I only heard two thuds, and he was hit in the back twice at the same time, and suddenly he stumbled and fell to the ground.
"Sect Leader Li, don't come unharmed!"
A deep voice sounded suddenly, followed by the sound of clothes fluttering, and a tall middle-aged man landed on the thick tree roots, looking at him with a smile on his back hand, and there were two thin old men holding mourning sticks standing next to him.
"It's you!"
Li Yu stood up in pain, and in a short moment, he actually felt that the entire right half of his body was paralyzed, obviously the secret weapon was fed with poison, and he frowned: "Master Jiang, you seem to be out of order." ”
The middle-aged man was born with a wide face and a wide mouth, and a long beard on his chin hung straight down to his chest, it was Jiang Qi, the head of the Soul Refining Sect, and the two beside him were naturally the two elders of the Soul Refining Sect, Ji Changsheng and Ji Changsheng.
He looked at Li Yu and said with a smile: "Sect Leader Li's words are wrong, as long as you can achieve your goal, it doesn't matter if you are in line with the rules or not." ”
Li Yu snorted angrily and said, "I knew you were so despicable, I shouldn't have promised you." ”
"Do you have a choice?" Jiang Qi laughed.
Li Yu glared at him angrily and said, "If you force me in a hurry, no one will want to get the Dafa of Leaving the Soul." ”
Jiang Qi shook his head and said in a loud voice: "It's wrong for you to do this, since we have a word first, I will help you save your mother, and in return, you will bring back the 'Soul Leaving Dafa' and hand it over to me." The only difference is that I came on my own in advance. Now that your mother has been cured, you are the master of the sect, you will not want to deny it, right?"
The second elder surnamed Ji next to him immediately stepped forward silently when he heard this, and the mourning stick in his hand was raised, and it seemed that he might do it at any time.
Li Yu said angrily: "You didn't say that so many people would die, and you didn't say that you would use living people to practice. ”
Jiang Qi laughed and said, "What big deal should I be, it turns out that Sect Leader Li is moved by compassion. Speaking of this, he smiled and said, "It is their blessing to be able to use it for the head of the family." ”
