"Hmm...... It hurts......"

An extremely weak voice sounded in the darkness, and the little boy struggled to open his eyelids, the tearing pain on his body made him frown, and he gritted his teeth, and a trace of cold sweat broke out on his forehead. He raised his arm slightly, trying to support himself, and an elegant and deep voice came from beside him.

"Don't move, the bones are just connected. ”

The cold lotus demon sitting on the chair let out a faint sound, the narrow phoenix eyes slowly opened, and a pair of eyes with a pale golden aura looked accurately at the weak boy in the dark room.

"Brother?" the little boy opened his mouth, a few traces of blood oozing from his chapped lips, and he couldn't help but lick it with the tip of his tongue. The small movement fell into the eyes of the cold lotus demon, his brows furrowed, he got up and walked to the table, brought a small bowl of water and handed it to his lips.

"Drink water. ”

The little boy had just woken up, and his body was in terrible pain, and he didn't react to what it meant for a while, and he was still stunned.

Seeing this, the cold lotus demon sighed slightly, sat down on the edge of his bed quite patiently, helped the boy's small body with one hand, and brought the water bowl to his mouth. The boy gave him a grateful look, and immediately lowered his head and drank violently, and drank a full bowl of water in two sips.

Looking at this child, the cold lotus demon felt that his heart, which had been silent for hundreds of years, unconsciously floated a trace of strangeness. He has lived for thousands of years, but he has never served anyone! As an innate god, he has always been a general of the god realm since he transformed into a human form and had his own consciousness, and even ascended to the position of god in one fell swoop because of the war between gods and demons. The status of one person under ten thousand people makes him always maintain a cold and arrogant state of mind. Holding the power of life and death in his hands, overlooking the vicissitudes of the Three Realms, this is his daily life.

The little boy drank the water, closed his eyes and endured the heartache coming from the broken bones, and asked cautiously, "Brother, aren't you leaving?"

Playing with the water bowl, the thoughts in the cold lotus demon's mind were flying, and suddenly he heard the child's timid words, raised his eyes to look at him and said, "If I leave, you will die." ”

"But......" The boy hesitated, but shook his head slightly, "Brother, if you don't leave, they will still find you." ”

"What about you?" looked at him quietly, as if he wanted to look into his heart through those innocent eyes, he didn't believe that anyone could really be pure-minded, even if it was a child, there would be selfish thoughts.

This is human nature and cannot be changed.

"I'm fine. Under the gaze of the eldest brother, the boy said timidly, "My mother said that my life is hard, and I won't die so easily." ”

The Cold Lotus Demon looked at him for a while and said no more.

"You were injured to defend me, and in this way, what you owe me is repaid. After speaking, he put the water bowl back on the table, and the cold lotus demon glanced back at the boy lightly, and then slowly turned around and walked out the door.

"Brother ......" moved his lips slightly, and the boy lying on the bed wanted to say something, but after all, he pursed his mouth and did not make a sound, and hot tears slipped from the corners of his eyes and disappeared into the hair of his sideburns.

"Live well. The simple words came from outside the closed door, without the slightest emotion, but the boy's forcibly held back tears poured out wildly.

The Cold Lotus Demon standing outside the door did not leave, just stood quietly at the door and listened to the faint cry coming from inside. He knew that this would be too cruel for a mortal child, but the order of the Divine Realm could not be disordered, he had to leave for the Nantian Divine Temple immediately, and this child was a mortal, and he could not step into the territory of the Divine Realm, so he could not go back with him. What's more, the cycle of life and death is a necessary path for mortals, and it is not so important whether the child is born or dead, in his opinion, as long as the soul is there, people will not die.

The sky gradually revealed a glimmer of light, and the warm light dispelled the darkness of the night. No matter how many hardships and tribulations the world has experienced, the morning sun will still rise, and the days will still go on.

The sobbing sound in the room gradually disappeared, and the man who had been standing for an unknown amount of time slowly turned around, dressed in white and walking away in the direction he had come from with a slightly damp morning dew......

When the water meets, the grace of the dew, that's it!

Li Wanxiao wrapped Dugu Che's clothes and leaned on his arms, and the oil-paper umbrella couldn't block the wet and cold breath of the border, she subconsciously shrank back, and the little abacus in her brain crackled.

"Brother, let's not wait, let's go directly to Mu Qianluo for clues about Yin Yang Flower. ”

Mengzi, who was already a little impatient on the side, also scratched his head, and said: "The drill is going very well, which means that we have no problem arranging it, just go directly to Mu Qianluo to ask for clues, it is not interesting for him to delay it for another two days." ”

This is true, Mu Qianluo will be busy with training in the next two days, and he can't take care of them, so it is better to take out the clues and let them toss by themselves, and save a lot of dreams at night. You must know that these people look harmless to humans and animals on the surface, and there are even one or two who are not very smart inside, but their real ability is still very strong, and if they are not careful, they will even tear down their families! Mu Qianluo's military camp can be trampled into scum in the hands of these few people in less than a cup of tea, especially Mengzi, who is not able to stop his quick temper.

Several other people looked at Dugu Che fixedly when they heard this, anyway, they could do whatever they wanted, just listen to the command with peace of mind.

Dugu Che nodded slightly, raised his hand and pointed to the other side, "Let's go over." ”

So the two of them walked towards Mu Qianluo with umbrellas under everyone's gaze, Dugu Che didn't let everyone follow, only the two of them wouldn't put too much pressure on Mu Qianluo, and it was easier to get favorable clues.

Firmly protected the little girl in his arms, and hugged her deep and shallow feet around the mud. Mu Qianluo, who was not far away, looked at the overall situation, and naturally saw the two people next to each other, and his heart suddenly became clear.

waved his hand and called his own soldiers, so that his subordinates could not stop him.

walked in front of Mu Qianluo unhurriedly, and said directly with a smile: "Marshal Mu, we have done what we promised you, and now the drill is going well, should you tell us the clues?"

It seems that I didn't expect the little girl to be so straightforward, there was no greeting at all, so she came up and asked. Mu Qianluo smiled, glanced at Dugu Che, and nodded happily, "The clue is in my account, I wanted to take it out again tomorrow morning, but I didn't expect you to be so breathless." That's it, I'll send someone to fetch it, and you two will wait a minute. ”

This Mu Qianluo obviously didn't speak so well before, and put forward various conditions to embarrass them, what's wrong now? Could it be that he took the wrong medicine?

Glancing at Dugu Che, seeing that he still had no expression, he shrugged with a smile, no matter what happened, as long as he was willing to give it, why did he care so much?

Rubbing his hands secretly, he looked at Mu Qianluo and muttered a few words in his ears as he watched with a smile, and then the man nodded and ran to the camp.

"Leaving the girl, there are some things I think I should remind you of. Mu Qianluo's smile was very inconsistent with his general's style in a battle robe, "Actually, that yin and yang flower has no medicinal use, many years ago, when that kind of flower was still growing and flourishing, it was just an edible grass, and it was not as magical as the legend in the mortal world, so I advise you to be mentally prepared and not to have too much hope." ”

After hearing this, Li Wanxiao replied in disbelief: "Since it has no medicinal use, why is it used as a tribute?"

"What a silly girl. Mu Qianluo laughed, "Folklore is just a legend after all, half-truths and half-truths, just listen to it." ”

"The Demon Realm doesn't have such a position as a Great Protector, because the Venerable Lord doesn't need it at all! The Eight Great Generals are enough to deal with any crisis. And the general who got the only yin-yang flower had long since been wiped out in the war that year, and that kid was still a soldier under my account. ”

"I don't believe it!" she didn't believe it, not a word.

"Believe it or not, here comes the clue. He raised his chin and signaled that his subordinates who had just run away had come back with a small wooden box.

Li Wanxiao couldn't wait to walk over, carefully took it, and opened it gently, and there was a light cyan flannel material in the light box.

Handing the box to Dugu Che, Liwanxiao's hand shaking slightly when he opened the bag.

Mu Qianluo couldn't help but shake his head and chuckle when he saw it: "Don't worry, I won't rob you." ”

Ignoring his ridicule, Li Wanxiao pinched out a yellowed piece of brown paper from the bag, and wrote a big word on it: water.

"Water?" What does this mean? Li Wanxiao turned the piece of paper back and forth several times, took the bag and poured it upside down, and finally stared at the word with a confused face, unable to figure out the meaning.

"That's right, this is the clue, you go to find it, just take it if you find it, you don't have to go through me. Mu Qianluo waved his hand, looking like he didn't want to talk anymore, his eyes turned back to the training team, and his cold side face looked a little dazed.

"Let's go. Dugu Che took the piece of paper and looked at it, then glanced at Mu Qianluo, and then quietly led Li Wanxiao back.

"Do you understand? What does he mean by this? What is water?" Li Wanxiao felt a little broken, and she was busy for several days, and finally got such a word, how could the so-called clue be just one word?

"Anxious again?" Dugu Che patted her head sideways, "Don't worry, this clue has already pointed us in the direction, and the scope of what we want to look for next has narrowed down a lot, and there will definitely be good news in two days." ”

"What do you say?" The little girl blinked her eyes and looked at him curiously, Dugu Che's head was really much smarter than her, could he just glance at it and see the mystery?

"Water. Dugu Che said as he walked, "No one has ever said that yin and yang flowers grow on the ground or in water. ”

A simple sentence suddenly made Li Wanxiao feel empowered.

Yes, when they were looking for it before, they always defaulted to the yin and yang flowers growing on the ground, just like ordinary flowers and plants, so when they arrived at the border, they also paid attention to the weeds on the side of the road. And although the word given by Mu Qianluo was simple, it directly narrowed down the scope of their search.

There are only a handful of places with water on the border, is it ......
