Chapter 20: Hitomi

Shangguan Xiyao said with a solemn face: "We are in big trouble, I am afraid that this is an obstacle." ”

"Obstacle?" asked Liu Shiming.

"Well, according to the route marked on the map, we didn't go wrong, and Fang Gongzi shouldn't give us a fake map, and the road shown on the map doesn't have many forks, and it is not an inherently sinister place, so there is only one possibility. Shangguan Xiyao analyzed.

"Are you saying that someone didn't want us to go to the string stage, so they laid a maze so that we could retreat?" Liu Shiming said.

"Well, it should be good, but this formation only makes us lose our way, and there is no killing intention, and I don't want to kill us, but who will be the one who sets up this formation? Why don't you let us go to the Xiange Stage?" Shangguan Xiyao pondered.

"Damn, little brother Liu, there has been no good thing since I met you, it's a monster and a hindrance now, it's really unlucky. It's really troublesome, wouldn't it be better if I slashed this maze with one sword?"

"You idiot, if you can really break this formation with a sword, do we still need to figure out a way here, it's really simple-minded and has developed limbs. Shangguan Xiyao rolled her eyes cutely and said.

"Drink, ugly woman, you dare to make fun of Ben Gongzi, then what do you say? I see what you are clever about. Yuan Hongdao said dissatisfied.

"Hmph, what a reckless man. Shangguan Xiyao said.

"Now that we have been trapped in the obstacle for a long time, Miss Ah Ling can only last for two days, we should find a way to get out of this formation as soon as possible, Miss Shangguan, do you have any good way. Liu Shiming asked Shangguan Xiyao.

Shangguan Xiyao thought for a while, only to see an object appear in his hand. Yuan Hongdao saw this thing and shouted loudly: "Mom, is this a Gu worm? Sure enough, it is a poisonous girl, and she carries this kind of thing with her voice." ”

"Shut up!" Then Shangguan Xiyao shouted softly: "Go!" The Gu worm actually flew into the path. ”

Liu Shiming walked over and asked, "Miss Shangguan, what is this?"

"This is the Ming Gu, for the purpose of exploration, I think no matter how clever the maze is, it has its way to death, I hope this Ming Gu can explore the strangeness of this place. Shangguan Xiyao said.

"What? You can break the obstacle as soon as you break the worm?" you think I am a three-year-old child?" Yuan Hongdao shouted.

"How can you idiot know about the mysteries of Gu magic, don't come with us if you don't believe it. Hypocrite, go, follow Ming Gu in. After speaking, he followed the Ming Gu into the path. Liu Shiming looked at Yuan Hongdao, shook his head, and followed into the path.

"Hah, little brother Liu, don't you bring this? You don't believe in her, what about brotherhood? I don't believe in love anymore. Hey, go slower!" Yuan Hongdao shouted and walked in.

Liu Shiming and the others followed the Ming Gu into the trail again, and after not wanting the Ming Gu to turn left and right, they took the three of them to a maple tree, and the Ming Gu circled around the maple tree, and at that moment Shangguan Xiyao shouted lightly: "Close." That Ming Gu disappeared out of thin air in Shangguan Xiyao's jade-like hands. Shangguan Xiyao said to Liu Shiming: "I think there is a difference in the whole region here, but how to break this formation, we have to find another way." ”

Liu Shiming nodded, and thought about a way at the moment.

"Hey, do you know that maple trees have red leaves in summer?" said Yuan Hongdao suddenly.

At that moment, Liu Shiming and Shangguan Xiyao looked at the maple tree, and couldn't help but be surprised, the leaves of the maple tree were actually fiery red.

"The leaves of the maple tree turn red in autumn and drift away in winter, and now it's early summer, how can such a phenomenon occur?" Liu Shiming was puzzled, and then his eyes lit up, and he glanced at Shangguan Xiyao, both of them nodded with smiles on their faces.

Shangguan Xiyao said to Yuan Hongdao: "Hey, it's time for you to appear, idiot." ”

"Little girl, I'll tear your mouth if you want to talk nonsense again, what? Why should I appear?" Yuan Hongdao was puzzled.

"Didn't someone just say that he wanted to break this formation with a sword, now it's time for you to make a move, why are you cringing?" Shangguan Xiyao said with a smile.

"Hmph, don't let me cut it for a while, and ask me to cut it for a while, my son is too faceless. Immediately, Yuan Hongdao held up the giant sword and "cut the sky", and was about to cut at the maple tree full of red leaves.

When the sword was about to cut down the maple tree, a cry came from the maple tree: "Daxian's subordinates are merciful, woo woo." ”

Liu Shiming and the three of them were taken aback at the moment, and Yuan Hongdao jumped two feet away and said, "Mom, the tree can speak?"

Shangguan Xiyao rolled her eyes, scolded an idiot, and said to the maple tree: "Don't pretend, come out." ”

Then I saw that the maple tree was gradually shrinking, and after a flash of purple light, a child appeared, the child had short purple hair, wore a purple belly pocket, ** small feet, and a big eye on a baby face was holding teardrops the size of beans.

"Wow! what a cute child!" Shangguan Xiyao said motherly.

Liu Shiming was not like Shangguan Xiyao, he pressed the Shangqing Sword with his hand, approached the child, he clearly felt the demonic aura from the child, and immediately shouted: "Who is the demon!

The child was even more frightened when he heard Liu Shiming's shouting, and hid behind Shangguan Xiyao's back, trembling with fear, clutching Shangguan Xiyao's sleeve tightly and not letting go.

"Hey, what are you doing so loudly? Look at how scared him. Shangguan Xiyao scolded Liu Shiming, then turned around and said softly to the child: "Tell my sister, what is your name?"

The child didn't seem to be afraid of Shangguan Xiyao, so he sobbed and whispered: "I....I....my mother and mother all call me Hitomi." ”

Shangguan Xiyao asked softly again, "Can Hitomi tell my sister why she made a maze?"

Hitomi sobbed: "Mother, mother, woo, I was killed by a group of people just now, my mother said that human beings are not good things, and I want Hitomi to protect herself, just now Hitomi sensed that you used the maze, but Hitomi just wanted to protect herself, and didn't want to hurt anyone, woo woo, mother." Then the little boy began to weep aloud.

When Shangguan Xiyao heard this, her eyes couldn't help but turn red, and she hugged the crying child, as if to comfort him.

Seeing this scene, Yuan Hongdao walked up to Liu Shiming and said, "What should I do?"

Liu Shiming didn't speak, walked up to Shangguan Xiyao and the child with his sword, and said, "Shangguan girl, get out of the way, this thing is a demon, and if it is not of my race, its heart will be different, I should kill it." ”

When Hitomi heard Liu Shiming finish speaking, she even fell into Shangguan Xiyao's arms, trembling all over.

Shangguan Xiyao gently supported Hitomi's small head, turned his head and said angrily to Liu Shiming: "Do you still have compassion? Hitomi lost her mother and is now lonely, you can also be ruthless and kill in the face of such a child?!"

"Shangguan girl, it's a demon. Liu Shiming said.

"What if it's a demon? All creatures, isn't a demon a life? Is it only a human being? Besides, Hitomi is still a child, look at it. After speaking, Shangguan Xiyao helped up the pupils lying in his arms, and the tears in the child's eyes continued at the moment, and his whole body was trembling, looking at Liu Shiming in fear.

Shangguan Xiyao said angrily to Liu Shiming: "Do you have a mother? Have you ever tried the pain of losing a loved one? How can you be ruthless enough to kill such a child!"

Shangguan Xiyao's words were like a sharp knife piercing Liu Shiming's heart, how could he not have tasted the pain of losing his relatives, how could he not see the pain of his whole family being killed and the sea of blood and hatred on his back like a knife carved into his bone marrow day after day. Liu Shiming looked at Shangguan Xiyao glaring at him, and the child's frightened eyes, which were not like the eyes of himself when he saw his whole family being killed.

Liu Shiming put away the Shangqing sword, didn't look at the two of them, there seemed to be a heaviness of the mountain in his heart, and he slowly disappeared into the winding path with heavy steps.

Yuan Hongdao shouted: "Little Brother Liu! Eh, where are you going? Little Brother Liu?"

Shangguan Xiyao looked at the back of Liu Shiming leaving, and his heart couldn't help but feel sour, I don't know why, seeing Liu Shiming's back just now actually made people feel that this man was lonely and lonely, as if he was isolated from heaven and earth, leaving a wound in his life, he walked alone in the world, and he wanted to stop him at the moment but couldn't open his mouth.

Yuan Hongdao rarely said to Shangguan Xiyao seriously: "What you said just now was too heavy. ”

Shangguan Xiyao hugged her pupils and didn't speak, and her tears couldn't help but fall. Yuan Hongdao glanced at her and shook his head, and went to chase after Liu Shiming.

"It's Hitomi who is not good, so you cry, big sister. Hitomi stretched out her little hand to wipe away Shangguan Xiyao's tears.

"Hitomi is good. Shangguan Xiyao stroked Hitomi's head, but his eyes were looking in the direction of Liu Shiming's departure, and he said in his heart: "He, is he also a sad person?"
