Chapter 23 Handshake
It snowed heavily in the past few days, and the snow on the forest road was very thick.
Xuan Yu had spiritual power and his steps were light, but Jiang Nan not only had low spiritual power but also had to carry a heavy load, so it was not an easy journey.
She has carefully analyzed that the spiritual roots in Ah Jiu's body are defective, and practicing in the normal way will naturally not achieve much.
However, the way of cultivation of the demons is opposite to that of ordinary people. If she practices the way of the demons, the problem of the spiritual roots in her body will not be a problem.
It's just that she has been busy collecting medicinal materials in Changle Village these past few days, and she hasn't had time to think about practicing yet.
Now that I think about it, procrastinating like this is not an option. If the person who bullies her comes back one day, she will definitely suffer again.
She, Jiang Nan, can have good food and wine, but she cannot suffer a loss.
Therefore, poison must be refined and cultivation must be put on the agenda.
I accidentally lost my focus and didn't notice that Xuan Yu had stopped in front. Jiang Nan didn't brake in time and bumped into him directly.
He raised his head and saw that his defeated enemy was staring at him with a complicated look.
Jiang Nan was stunned for a moment: "Elder brother, why didn't you leave? Did you go the wrong way?"
"No." Xuan Yu shook his head, then stretched out two fingers, Reciting the mantra silently is like pulling out a long sword.
Then, he jumped onto the sword.
Seeing this, Jiang Nan hurriedly grabbed the other party's clothes: "Elder brother, you are not going to leave me, are you?"
After all, there is a precedent.
There is a record in Ah Jiu's suicide note. She had secretly followed Xuan Yu several times before and wanted to accompany him to the back mountain, but he would find out and get rid of her every time.
Although she didn't really want to follow Xuan Yu, but when she thought about how she didn't have the ability to protect herself now, what if he wasn't here and she met a bad guy later?
So, even if you don’t want to, I still have to hug this thigh for the time being.
Xuan Yu should have guessed what she was worried about, so he slowly pulled the corner of his clothes back from her hand: "I said I would take you to see your feet, so why would I leave you?"
"Then why do you suddenly want to wield a sword?" Jiang Nan was still a little suspicious.
It’s not like he doesn’t know that her spiritual power is low, let alone flying with a sword, she may not even be able to lift a sword.
So, if you don’t want to leave her alone, is it possible that you plan to take her with you to fly with the sword?
She remembered that he was arrogant and indifferent, and never got too close to others. Would he be willing to take her?
Xuan Yu looked at her puzzled face, and a question appeared in his head: "If you don't wield a sword, do you have to walk to Ghost Valley?"
After saying that, she suddenly realized that she had been surrounded by Tianmen Mountain since she was a child. She knew almost nothing about the outside world and knew where the Gui Valley was. So she patiently explained: "It is a long way to get to the Gui Valley. If you walk, I'm afraid it will take a long time." Walk for half a month."
"Oh." Jiang Nan breathed a sigh of relief, but at the same time he felt vaguely. A trace of happiness emerged, "So, senior brother, are you going to take me with you on the sword?"
Xuan Yu did not answer her question, stood on the sword and moved forward, leaving a place behind: " Come up."
"Okay." Jiang Nan fell down, raised his feet, and jumped onto the sword skillfully.
It's just that she forgot that she has no spiritual power in her body now, and she can't even stand firmly on the sword.
As a result, he fell off the sword the next second after he jumped up.
Not only that, he also threw a few eggs out of his arms and smashed them heavily into the snow.
Fortunately, those eggs were cooked and had snow as a buffer, so they didn’t break even if they were dropped.
Even so, she couldn't help but feel distressed: "My eggs..."
Xuan Yu had no choice but to come down and help her pick up the eggs. When putting the eggs into the package, I accidentally touched the back of her hand, and then I realized that her hand was cold, colder than the snow on the ground.
Yes, it was freezing cold along the way. He would use his spiritual power to drive away the cold from time to time, but she had not built a foundation yet. Even if she wanted to drive away the cold, the spiritual power in her body was not enough to support it. The operation of magic.
"Are you cold?" Xuan Yu asked.
After that, his eyes moved to her thin clothes.
Jiang Nan just reinstalled the egg and tied it with a strong knot, then carefully held it in her arms.
He raised his head and was stunned for a moment: "It's not very cold, it's just that my feet hurt."
Hearing this, Xuan Yu's eyes moved down.
In winter, everyone will put on warm long leather boots, but now she is still wearing a pair of short cloth shoes on her feet.
After walking on the snowy road for so long, her cloth shoes had already been wet with snow water, and she could vaguely see the skin on the instep of her feet exposed, which was purple and red. One look showed that she was very cold.
After thinking about it, he bent down, pinched his fingers and recited the mantra to stimulate his spiritual power.
Instantly, there was an obvious heat entering the ankle, which was warm and comfortable.
This made Jiang Nan involuntarily stiffen her body and move back: "Elder brother, you..."
"Don't move." Xuan Yu ordered and continued to press on her feet. heat.
Jiang Nan really didn't dare to move and let him cast spells on her feet.
If she hadn’t known that this person’s kindness to others was out of righteousness, and that he had personally killed herself, she might have had the illusion that Xuan Yu was treating her because he liked her. She was extra concerned.
Yes, after all, he promised Lu Hua to take her to see her leg injury. He couldn't just watch her injuries get worse before she arrived.
Soon, Jiang Nan's cloth shoes were dried by the hot air, and the feet wrapped in them also warmed and regained consciousness.
I knew clearly that the person squatting in front of me had an sworn hatred against me, but when I thought that he would actually take care of me in these details, the layer of dust-covered hatred seemed to be slightly cracked. .
"Thank you, senior brother." Although she said words of thanks, she deliberately reminded herself to strengthen her determination: Don't worry, no matter how nice you are to me, I will never poison you in the future. Show no mercy.
Xuan Yu summoned the long sword again.
This time, he did not go up alone, but stretched out a hand in front of Jiang Nan: "Hold on, I will take you to fly together."
Don't take advantage of it, let alone take advantage of it. The person who was taken advantage of was still a handsome guy with a top-notch skin. How could Jiang Nan let him go so easily?
Immediately put his hand over and grasped the opponent's palm tightly.
The two of them stood on their swords, one behind the other, with Xuan Yu holding the sword in front and Jiang Nan following unsteadily behind.
It’s different to have an expert guide you, and you don’t have to expend energy to walk. After a while, the originally airtight forest flashed by under your feet like a picture screen.
When they reached a high altitude and the flight gradually stabilized, Jiang Nan remembered that she was holding Xuan Yu's hand.
His hands were big, soft, and warm, and felt good when she grasped them, so she couldn't help but scratch them with her fingertips.
She even began to feel safe being held by his big hand.
