Chapter 39 (11)
The original owner gave him a blank look and said, "When did you learn to beat around the bush?" What do you want to say?"
Li Yijie hesitated to organize the sentence and said, "I mean, maybe there are two forces around the original brothers. The purpose is diametrically opposite, but they are all murderous without blinking...... Ruthless. And I remembered that Cher had also seen your roll of paper, in other words, she knew that the former brother was manipulated. To put it bluntly, she is also very likely to be targeted by those people...... No, I have to go back to protect her, and I will bring her to me no matter how bad it is! Uncle Yuan, please forgive the juniors for a few days!"
The original owner of the village reached out with a palm, pressed his shoulder, and frowned: "Yijie, I see that you are concerned and chaotic." If there is a pure place in the martial arts strife, it is the palace. Since the Nangong girl is in the palace, even if Concubine Yun may not really take care of her, no assassin dares to be so bold and openly break into the palace to assassinate a guest who is sleeping. What's more, let's go, although I don't know what the enemy's intentions are, most of them will be enemies with him head-on, Miss Nangong is by your side, and you have to be distracted to take care of it, which is not good for you...... Besides, in the vast sea, what can be said accurately? When you miss a ship, you don't know when you can wait for the next one?"
Li Yijie also gradually calmed down at this time, and sighed: "Okay, then let's go all out and solve the Seven Demon Heads as soon as possible, and I will go back to the palace to pick up Xue'er, and I will never be separated from her again." ”
The original owner listened to him imagine the joy of the coming day, and thought of the moment when Ayin killed him with his own hands and slowly fell in a pool of blood, he felt a sharp pain in his heart. Thinking that the only blood left by Ah Yin was in the hands of the enemy, he was completely unconscious, and he could do it to his biological father at any time according to the order. Raise your hand and press it to your chest, holding back the gushing blood.
I didn't have to wait long, and sure enough, a small boat sailed to the shore and approached. It was a veritable "small" ship, made of a few worn-out planks, with a mast riddled with holes and a flag half torn in it. It seems only suspicious that the little ship will be torn apart by the slightest wind and waves.
Li Yijie scratched his scalp and said with a dry smile: "I thought his ship would be so magnificent, but it turned out to be ...... Ahem, Uncle Yuan, you say, should it ...... The Seven Demon Bosses want us to take this broken ship and drown in the sea halfway through?"
The original owner carefully examined the boat, and said in a deep voice: "No, the Seven Evil Boys want to lead us to his territory, but it can be said that it took a lot of effort, and he will never do that kind of thankless work, and he will not let the person who is his confidant die like that." Let's go. "Step on first. Li Yijie didn't show his cowardice, so he followed hard. And almost as soon as his heel landed on the board, the boatman shouted, and unsheathed his oars, and rowed.
The weather has been as good as ever these days, with constant winds and waves at sea. Li Yijie leaned on the mast, facing the endless sea water and the dark sky, and his mood was extremely depressed for no reason, as if his future was so blank. The boat was also weird, even after the huge waves slapped, the mast shook several times, and Li Yijie was even forced to always want to prepare for the back road. But in the end, it was like a miracle, and the old mast was still strong.
In his spare time, Li Yijie sat at the stern of the boat with the original owner, watching the boatman paddle on the bow of the boat, just because there was only such a palm-sized field on the small boat. Looking at his figure, he was indeed rowing with his heart, and he didn't seem to be deliberately weird. But a boatman is just an insignificant person, and Jiang Yanchen wants to sacrifice him at will, and it is not impossible to do it. These days are all about worrying.
One day, the boat landed on solid ground and arrived at an unknown island in the middle of the sea. As soon as the two of them landed, they saw a large crowd of residents on the island, all of whom were competing to take refuge at sea. Seeing someone coming at this time is tantamount to sending them to death. The kind-hearted person came to gesture and persuaded the two to retreat quickly when the disaster was coming.
Due to the language barrier between the two sides, after a long time, Li Yijie even guessed and finally understood his meaning. and babbled and explained to the original owner.
It turns out that there is an active volcano on the island, which is so high that the locals call it "Mauna Loa", and when it erupted in previous years, the lava spewed out also caused a lot of damage to the surrounding villages. Recently, a prophet predicted that the volcano would erupt again in a matter of days. Therefore, everyone fled to take refuge, and the island was no longer populated.
Li Yijie looked around, and at this time, except for the extreme desolation on the island, everything was still calm. In the distance, you can see a mountain range that is not high. was struggling to piece together and integrate the clues of the past few days, the original owner suddenly stepped forward, his face was heavy, and said: "Yijie, what are the plans of the seven evil boys, I think...... I've got a rough idea. Li Yijie was overjoyed when he heard this, and said, "Really, I want to hear about it!"
The original owner said: "I traveled to the Central Plains with Ah Yin in my early years, and I once heard a legend mentioned-" repeated the origin of the Seven Evil Treasures, and said: "I'm afraid that the Seven Evil Boys want to emulate the legendary god who fell into a demon, and he thinks that this Mauna Loa Volcano is the legendary mountain range that 'connects with the sky', and intends to jump into the magma when the volcano erupts, hoping to transcend the mortal world and incarnate as a demon." ”
Li Yijie laughed and said: "How is this possible? Even children should know that it is just a legend." When a volcano erupts, the temperature inside the magma is hundreds of times higher than the body temperature of ordinary people, and once anything is put in, it will be burned to ashes, so how can it really become a demon with this? If it is wishful thinking to say that a mortal becomes a demon, then what is he doing with us?"
The original owner said: "Just because of this matter to break through the taboo in the world, if you want to succeed, you must also make offerings." It is to offer sacrifices to the gods, and the deeper the bond with the person before, the more significant the effect. He came to us because he wanted us and Yi'er to be his sacrifices. ”
Li Yijie sneered: "Make a sacrifice? Do his big dream of spring and autumn! That kind of heart-wrenching thing, how can we allow him to succeed? Just settle many years of grievances on this desert island." There are two ways, good and evil, this time only the winning side can return to their homeland, so as not to bring frequent wars to the Central Plains. However, if he jumps into the magma to seek his own death, it will be very good, it will save us a lot of effort, and I don't covet the false name of 'killing the number one demon in the world with my own hands'...... I simply encouraged him to jump. ”
The original owner said lightly: "Don't think about things too simply, before the ceremony begins, the sacrifices must be executed first." Before he jumps, it's our time of death. ”
The two of them walked around the island, knowing that this place was already full of dangers, and even if there were people, only Jiang Yanchen's subordinates were left. But the two of them were bold and daring, and gradually went into the depths of the island, standing under the huge mountain range they had seen before. Everywhere you look, it is covered with a layer of snow, and when you look at it, it looks like a snow-white carpet. Li Yijie was very surprised and said, "This ...... Is it really a volcano? I think...... It would be more appropriate to say that it is a snow-capped mountain. ”
The original owner squinted his eyes and tried to look up to a higher place, while explaining, "Normally, the magma is in a state of cooling, and it is silent inside the volcano. And because this island is already in the cold land of the extreme north, it is because the outside world adapts to the climate, and a layer of ice and snow frost has formed. And when there is an earthquake in the surrounding area, the shaking raises the temperature of the magma until the lava erupts and forms a huge pillar of fire, then the whole mountain becomes a real volcano and brings unimaginable destructive power. ”
Li Yijie smiled and said, "I see." I've heard of the usual volcanic eruptions, which come in three different forms, depending on their intensity. I hope this time I met ...... is the mildest of the kind. The original owner sneered, "A volcano that erupts at the gentlest level can also arouse the interest of the Seven Evil Saints?"
Li Yijie sighed, and knew that this hope was too slim. Jiang Yanchen has been planning for so long, he must have come prepared, and he can first find out in detail about the extreme weather here. A volcanic eruption that could help him become a demon, or something that could make him think he was hopeful, would be a great deal of disaster.
With a sigh, he said: "The original owner, let's go to the mountains to find out how the situation is? Before starting the war, we should seize the favorable terrain first, and although we dare not say that we will take the lead, we can always gain a certain advantage." And it is often because of that step that the difference is the key to determining the victory or defeat. ”
The original owner responded. The two stepped into the volcano from the foot of the mountain and went all the way deeper. The surface of the mountain is full of bare earth, and even the layer of ice and snow has become a precious decoration that adds two colors. You can't see ordinary trees and flowers, only steep cliffs in front of you, which makes people who are not used to walking on the mountain for the first time. In contrast, the snow at the bottom of the volcano is the thinnest, or because it is closer to the surface, it has gradually been affected by the magma that is starting to heat up.
The two explored for almost a whole day, and Li Yijie was halfway up the mountain at this time, which was an ordinary climate. Wandering around in the vast white Middle East, I saw that the original owner was picking up a little sand on the ground, and carefully twisted it between his thumb and index finger, as if he was contemplating and thinking. Suddenly, I felt a hammer blow in my head, and a flash of inspiration flashed, but this was really not a favorable inspiration, but a complete negation of the results of the day.
Stubbornly walked to the side of the original owner, with a very deep pain on his face, and said: "Uncle Yuan, I'm afraid I made a mistake in judgment and did a very stupid thing. You've wasted a whole day with me, and you've deviated from the direction, so I really don't want to ......."
The original owner still looked at the mud and sand in his hand, and said lightly: "Oh, where is the stupidity?"
Li Yijie scratched his scalp, showed a smile that was more ugly than crying, and said: "This is exactly the place chosen by the Seven Demon Heads, there is a great opportunity to explore first, there is plenty of time, and it is natural to be more thorough than outsiders." And he invited us to come because he was sure of victory, and he made a detailed estimate first. From the moment we go ashore, the deadline will not exceed three days at most. What can I find out in just a few days? I really want to get more detailed information than him in the territory of the Seven Demon Bosses......"
