Chapter 54: The Hermit
Ning Bi carried Xiao Se on his back and walked quickly towards Zhitian Mountain, at the same time, Emperor Ran Li had already issued an order to hunt down the Blood Man with all his might, and Cangjiao's death made him realize that this person known as the Blood Man would definitely not be able to stay.
After a few days of trekking, Ning Bi was already exhausted, looking at the towering mountain peaks in front of her, a smile appeared on her face, "It's finally here!"
On the way up the mountain, there is a stone stele, on which the word "hermit" is written, Ning Bi climbs up the stone steps with difficulty, these days, she has not dripped, she has long been unable to support, the soles of her feet slipped, and Xiao Se fell down the mountain together.
Bang! Ning Bi's body slammed on the ground, but Xiao Se on her back was unharmed, it turned out that in mid-air, Ning Bi gathered her whole body's true qi and blocked herself under Xiao Se.
Pointing to a cave on the Tianshan Mountain, an old man with white hair suddenly opened his eyes, looked at the person next to him, and said, "Bring them up!" The man next to him leaned over and took the order, and hurried down the mountain.
Ning Bi was smashed by this, her already weak body couldn't raise any strength, her throat was sweet, and blood flowed out of her mouth, but her firm will still supported her to stand up.
When the wind came, Ning Bi only felt that a middle-aged man in black appeared in front of her, looked at her and said, "The patriarch is invited!"
The man in black was about to take Xiao Se, but Ning Bi stubbornly pushed him away, insisted on carrying Xiao Se on his back, and followed the man in black upward.
This section of the road seemed to have walked a lifetime in Ning Bi's eyes, and she almost fell down again a few times, if it wasn't for the man in black who helped her at a critical moment, I was afraid that she and Xiao Se would fall to their deaths before they reached the mountain.
The man in black welcomed Ning Bi into the cave, Ning Bi looked at the old man sitting in the middle, a heartfelt smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and then fell down.
The old man's actions couldn't help but move the old man, and he hurriedly ordered, "Send her into the cave to rest, so that she can be taken care of!"
A few black-clothed people around him carefully lifted Ning Bi and sent it towards the resting room in the cave, while the old man came to Xiao Se and looked at it carefully.
In the haze, Ning Bi dreamed that Xiao Se was caught by Emperor Ran Li, and suffered all kinds of torture, and she clearly saw Emperor Ran Li's hideous smile and Xiao Se's painful face.
"Don't! let go of Xiao Se!" Ning Bi shouted, sat up from the stone bed, glanced around, and realized that it was just a dream, but this dream shocked her into a cold sweat.
Ning Bi pushed open the stone door, and a man in black who was guarding saw her wake up, and hurriedly said, "You're awake!"
Ning Bi looked at him and asked, "Where am I?"
The man in black was stunned for a moment, and then laughed, "Of course you are referring to the Tianshan Mountain!"
Ning Bi breathed a sigh of relief, looked at the man in black, and smiled: "Thank you!"
The man in black hurriedly bowed his head and said, "Don't dare, the patriarch commands, go see him when you wake up." ”
"Okay!" Ning Bi nodded, "I'm going to have to bother you to lead the way!"
The two walked to where the patriarch was, at this time, the patriarch was wielding his true qi to hit Xiao Se's suspended body, Ning Bi was shocked when she saw this, and before she could say anything, the man in black next to her stopped her and said softly: "The patriarch is saving him!"
Although Ning Bi didn't speak, her eyes were tightly tied to Xiao Se, because she had never heard of this method of saving people.
After a long time, the patriarch collected his true qi, and Xiao Se's body slowly descended from mid-air and landed on a stone bed, Ning Bi hurriedly came to Xiao Se's body with a look of concern.
Xiao Se on the bed still maintained a faint expression, and his face had returned to normal, but his left hand seemed to be struggling to find something, Ning Bi suddenly understood, untied Tianxian from his waist, and put it in Xiao Se's hand.
At this time, the patriarch came to Ning Bi's side, looked at her and said, "Little girl, you come with me, I still have something to ask you!" Ning Bi turned her head to look at him, then at Xiao Se, and nodded.
The patriarch led Ning Bi to a stone room, and his face suddenly became much more serious, "Little girl, this friend of yours was seriously injured and was invaded by evil forces?"
Ning Bi was stunned when she heard this, and then nodded: "Exactly!"
The patriarch continued: "In my opinion, this evil power is a kind of bloody aura, and such a thick and ferocious bloody aura can only be found in the water of the Ten Thousand Ghost River!"
Ning Bi shook her head after hearing this, and said calmly: "I don't know!"
The patriarch glanced at her, stood up and said slowly: "Your friend is not simple, if my guess is right, he has practiced an ancient divine art, burning the sky and Xuanhuo, and has reached a certain realm." At this time, the patriarch raised his head and sighed, "The sword in his hand is even more powerful, and the purity of the bloody qi is what I have seen in my life! ”
Ning Bi nodded hurriedly and pleaded: "It's not a secret, we should be besieged by Cangjiao under Emperor Ran Li, Xiao Se* had no choice but to do this, and I hope the patriarch will save him!"
The patriarch turned around and smiled, came to Ning Bi and sat down, "If nothing else, just say that you, a weak woman, came all the way to save him to our hidden clan, and I should also save him!"
Ning Bi smiled at ease, then knelt down, and said gratefully: "Patriarch's grace, the little girl is toothless and unforgettable!"
The patriarch patted her lightly on the shoulder, sighed, and said, "I used to have a daughter like you, and I was desperate for her sweetheart......"
Then, the patriarch stood up, looked at Ning Bi, and said, "Let's go out and see your friend!"
Ning Bi followed the patriarch out in response, Xiao Se was still lying quietly on the bed, without the slightest intention of waking up, Ning Bi's face suddenly became a little more anxious, and she looked at the patriarch and said, "Patriarch, when will he wake up?"
The patriarch shook his head, "I have never seen such a strong body, he has all his internal organs, his muscles and veins are broken a lot, but he can still support his immortality, now I have controlled his injuries, as for when he will wake up, it depends on his recovery speed, it may be ten days, or ten years." ”
Ning Bi was stunned at first, then sat down beside Xiao Se, reached out and gently touched Xiao Se's cheek, and said softly: "Don't say it's ten years, even if it's a lifetime, I'm willing to wait for you!"
At these words, even the man in black behind the patriarch was shocked, what an infatuated woman this is!
At this time, a man in black brought the food and said respectfully: "Patriarch, please eat!"
The patriarch patted Ning Bi on the shoulder, "Girl, I haven't asked for your name yet!"
Ning Bi looked back and smiled slightly, and said, "My name is Ning Bi." ”
"Ning Bi! good name!" The patriarch smiled and pulled Ning Bi to the table and said, "Eat with me!"
Ning Bi didn't shirk it, she was really hungry after so many days of traveling, but her eyes still couldn't help but look at Xiao Se, and she always felt that Xiao Se would wake up in the blink of an eye.
The patriarch served Ning Bi a dish and asked, "Miss Ning Bi, it is really rare to see an infatuated woman like you, I don't know what [***] soup this person poured you in?"
Ning Bi smiled back and said, "The patriarch said that he laughed, I haven't known Xiao Se for long......"
The patriarch was stunned, the chopsticks in his hand almost fell, and he asked urgently, "You said his surname is Xiao?"
"Hmm!" Although Ning Bi didn't know why the patriarch had such an expression, she still nodded.
The patriarch paused for a moment, and changed back to his former expression, "You go on!"
"Xiao Se is a cold person, an even a little cold person, but in him, I see a light that I have never seen before, he is extremely deep and cruel, but he has the kindest heart in the whole world!
"Well said! What a strange man, I really hope he wakes up soon!" said the patriarch with his hands.
Ning Bi bowed slightly, and said, "Patriarch, I won't tell you, I always thought that the Yin Clan was a mysterious place......
The patriarch interrupted with a smile: "Although we Yin Clan don't ask about the world, we are not people who can't be saved when they die! ”
"Origin?" Ning Bi asked curiously.
The patriarch sighed lightly, and then looked at Ning Bi, "It's okay to talk to you, you know the Demon Emperor!"
"Yes!"
"Many years ago, Gan Ge and I worshipped under the master at the same time, that is to say, we are senior brothers!" the patriarch's eyes wandered, recalling the past, "Senior brother Gan Ge's surname is strong and resolute, and he has learned everything that the master has passed on, while I am more lazy, just learning some skin." Until one day, Master Immortal went, and Senior Brother Gan Ge told me a big thing, and it was also a big thing that affected the Demon Realm!"
"A major event that affects the Demon Realm?" Ning Bi couldn't help but ask.
"That's right! Senior Brother Gange has lofty ambitions and wants to unify the originally scattered Demon Realm, which is the idea that created the Demon Emperor Gange in the future. I was naturally willing to follow and follow my brother to fight in the north and south, but I gradually began to find that my brother's evil spirit became heavier and heavier, and even affected the people around him, I persuaded him many times but he didn't think so, until one day I couldn't stand his ferocious methods anymore, so I left him and returned here. ”
The patriarch took a sip of water and continued, "In the end, his purpose was achieved, but he also lost his favorite wife, probably the blessing of the heavens, and left him a daughter named Qin Se!"
"What a beautiful name!"
"Yes, that girl is smart and well-behaved, very likable, I always take her here to play, but unfortunately, it's all to blame for the fairy and demon war, alas......"
"What's wrong with the Immortal and Demon War?" At this time, Xiao Se, who was lying on the bed, suddenly stood up and came to the patriarch.
Xiao Se relied on his strong recovery ability, and after a few days of recuperation, his injuries were no longer serious, and when he woke up, he happened to hear what the patriarch said, so he couldn't help but get up and step forward.
"Like! It's so like!" the patriarch stood up, glanced at Xiao Se, and said aloud: "Your eyes contain your grandfather's perseverance, and your mother's sorrow, and your face is exactly the same as your father!"
Xiao Se's expression was shocked after hearing this, and he exclaimed: "You know my father!"
The patriarch patted Xiao Se on the shoulder, "You sit down first, and listen to me tell you slowly!"
