Chapter 25: The Way Back
Bai Ying walked towards the door step by step, and a large number of flake-like ice cubes fell from his body with each step, and when he opened the door to the sun, the cold on his body instantly dissipated, this person was the girl in blue.
I saw that she shook her arms elegantly, without any stiffness, and then walked a few steps elegantly, the blue dress fluttering full of beauty, and finally elegantly straightened the dazzling black hair that looked like a crystal silk......
Chen Mu and Xia Xue felt cold in their backs before, shivered, and then looked back. Now both of them are staring at her stupidly, under the illumination of the sun, the appearance and skin of the girl in blue are as pure and moving as ice crystals, without a trace of flaws, and the whole person seems to be glowing, the most dazzling light.
This is the most shining appearance Xia Xue has ever seen, and it seems that the fairies in the sky are nothing more than that.
While Chen Mu was amazed, she was recalling her a few months ago, except that her appearance had changed slightly, and she was even more extraordinary. There is another point that seems to be different, but I can't say where.
The girl in blue walked slowly towards Chen Mu, did not speak, and her face seemed to have a hint of melancholy.
Xia Xue took a step forward and spoke first: "This senior, thank you very much for saving your life, and I will definitely repay you if you have the opportunity in the future." ”
"Xia Xue, don't thank me, it's my reward for saving you out of the secret room. In the future, call me Xuan Ming'er. Xuan Ming'er replied with a slight frown, as if she was a little worried.
Although Xia Xue didn't know what she meant by the return, she didn't think much about it and greeted Chen Mu together.
An hour ago, inside the girl in blue.
"I didn't expect that my Xuanming Pill was going to pass away as soon as I opened my spiritual wisdom, so I don't want to do that thing. Who told me to want to be a human being so much? After I turned into a pill power, you are a new me, of course, you can also choose to be yourself. The last trace of the Xuanming Pill's unliquefied Dan core seemed to be talking to someone.
"Give yourself a name, don't be like me, I only knew that my name was Xuanming Dan when I was born, and the two monks outside had good character, you can learn more things from them, I don't know any spells, and I don't have time to teach you anything...... I'm leaving, and I won't see you again. You have to try to be a real person! Take care, kid. As soon as he finished speaking, the last Dan core instantly turned into energy fragments that filled the entire brain, and at the same time, the eyes of the girl in blue slowly opened.
Xuan Ming'er and Chen Mu and Xia Xue soon got to know each other, Xia Xue found that this worried girl didn't have the shelf of an elder, and it seemed that her cultivation was not very high, but it was not good to ask directly, so she had to wait until she got acquainted with it later.
A week later, Chen Mu was lying on the grass, and he was still comparing Xuan Ming'er now with the difference between her a few months ago. Aside from the way you walk and the tone you speak, what's wrong?
And Xia Xue and Xuan Ming'er have long been sisters, Xuan Ming'er doesn't know how to speak, and is mistaken for introverted and shy by Xia Xue; Xuan Ming'er doesn't know any life skills, and is mistaken by Xia Xue for a symbol of strength; Xuan Ming'er doesn't eat, and is considered to be a predecessor who eats Bigu Dan, and so on. Because of this, Xia Xue was able to get very close to Xuan Ming'er.
Xuan Ming'er secretly learns all kinds of things every day, and being able to communicate more fluently is the first step for her to be a person. For example, she learned from Xia Xue to call Chen Mu a stupid hat, but unfortunately Chen Mu corrected it in time.
When I was playing with her in the creek in the morning, I asked her how she rescued us, and she said she had amnesia, and she seemed to be gone. Is it true that such an obvious lie came out of the mouth of the elders?" Xia Xue blinked and looked at Chen Mu who was confused.
Chen Mu didn't answer her, in his opinion, everything Xuan Ming'er said was possible.
Happy days are always short-lived, and there are fifteen days left before the official introductory test.
Early in the morning, Chen Mu carried the package he had packed last night on his back, straightened his clothes and hair band, and pushed open the door of the thatched house, "Xuanqing Gate! I'll come back and pull it!" I saw him scream at the sky and rush out.
"It's still grinding, I've been waiting for you for a long time, come over quickly!" Xia Xue stood in the distance and shouted, while Xuan Ming'er stood quietly next to her, as if she was learning to think about something.
On the way back to the mountain, Chen Mu and his party evaded the pursuit of wild beasts, helped the injured people who collected medicine, and also took the carriage of the mysterious person. Traveling all the way to the mountains and rivers, bumping and bumping is also at ease, and finally came to the foot of Xuanqingmen Qitian Peak the day before the entrance test.
This place that was crowded with people back then is now empty, and seeing that the place where his cultivation started is so desolate, Chen Mu felt a sense of melancholy in his heart.
Only the winding mountain road quietly circled towards the sky, like a sleeping giant snake, a little alive.
"Let's go up the mountain, this mountain road is easy to walk, and you don't need an hour to reach the mountain gate. Xia Xue took Xuan Ming'er's hand and walked towards the mountain road with a smile.
Chen Mu was very skeptical that Xuan Ming'er would be able to catch up with Xia Xue's speed, but he was disappointed. He was left far behind by the two girls.
He tried to catch up with Xia Xue with fear, and the mountain road cast an indelible shadow in his heart, the black, snake-like shadow.
It's a pity that he was embarrassed to let the girl in front of him wait for him, and he didn't shout out several times.
He was trotting with a cold sweat on his back, as if something had been following him......
"I'm tired, this broken mountain road is so long, I don't dare to look back, no one will save me when I encounter the black fog again this time." Chen Mu thought about it as he took out a Blue Heart Pill and ate it, and his pace obviously accelerated again.
When he was halfway up the mountain, he was frightened by a dark shadow in the grass, he was now particularly sensitive to black, and then looked closely, it turned out to be a small black grass.
"This black grass seems to have been seen somewhere, it is a bit similar to the green strange grass in my bag, why don't you dig it back and study it?" Chen Mu's heart was entangled in whether to stop.
In the end, Chen Mu still stopped and dug out this black grass as fast as he could, he faintly felt that this black grass had some connection with the black mist giant snake.
In the afternoon, the frightened black snake did not appear, and Chen Mu finally caught up with Xia Xue and the others, and the two of them had already sat on the last step to chat.
With the setting sun, Chen Mu and the two girls came to the main gate of the majestic Xuanqing Gate.
"Miss Xia, who are these two?" The gatekeeper knew Xia Xue, who had royal blood, and his attitude was also very friendly.
"They are my senior sister and junior brother, we were ordered by the master to go down the mountain to purchase some special medicinal herbs, please let us in. Xia Xue said and took out the herbal powder and the Xuantie token printed with the word Huoli.
"It seems that something has happened recently, and we have doubled the number of people in our shifts, and I don't know the specific situation, but you should be more careful and try to stay in the heavily forbidden cave. Open the door!" the gatekeeper shouted, and the door slowly opened.
The three delicate children walked quietly with the opening of the huge iron door, facing the afterglow of the sunset, their immature faces full of confident smiles, tomorrow, tomorrow's tomorrow will belong to them.
