Chapter 61
"Do you want to float on the sea for the rest of your life?" Nihua looked at the lights that were about to go out, and took out his own glass lamp. "We have not encountered dangers or attacks on this sea. It should be this light, right? My lamp doesn't work?"
"It doesn't work." Xi Yan smiled, "The light itself for sea navigation It’s made from the bones of the sea monster.”
Xi Yan. With a move of his arm, the snake-sticker held Nihua's waist and moved up, "Senior sister, have you repaired the aircraft? I don't have an aircraft, please give me a ride."
Nihua looked at Xi Yanlian's posture She was all ready, looking down at his innocent appearance, the corner of her mouth twitched. "Let me guess, there is a medicine man on the ship. Why did the sea monster attack the ship? Because there is a person they are looking for among the medicine men?"
"Senior sister is so smart. The demonic aura on the ship is so strong that it can also cause the sea monster to attack crazily. I guess the leader of the sea monster has been hunted and killed." Xi Yan smiled, "The sea monster is extremely cruel. Senior sister, guess who has such strength. Do it, the first sect wants to find an opportunity to clear their names, and it is natural to blame the monster."
"Besides, senior sister, look at your good senior brother. Isn’t it wise to choose you?
The target of their revenge has always been him.”
Ni Hua thought thoughtfully, she has no use for Director Yun. , Director Yun saved Shi Ling from abandoning her, because Shi Ling was a good shield, and all parties did not dare to attack Shi Ling for the time being. After all, Shi Ling was the next saint appointed by the Holy Realm.
"Senior sister, think about it from another perspective. He didn't involve you in the situation. He has you in his heart. Do you feel better?"
They are all scapegoats.
And those evil people just want Director Yun to have a very tragic ending, so that people in the world of immortality know the consequences of daring to interfere with this matter.
Ni Hua was startled, but she thought in her heart that fortunately Director Yun was the male protagonist.
Someone has to do what others don’t want to do.
Feel better, how can it be better? Those evil people really deserve to die.
"I like people who are upright and responsible." Nihua thought of the burning fire in the alchemy furnace and smiled at Xi Yan who was persistently trying to get an answer. She sentenced Xi Yan to death.
The tumbling emotions in Xi Yan's chest were endless, and those beautiful qualities had nothing to do with him. The silent sourness lingered in his heart, corroding his flesh and skin.
He watched the wind blowing the hair on her temples, watched her standing there with her back straight, like a pine and cypress still standing in the frost and snow, watched her turn her head and look at her firmly. Xi Yan was touched by the back figure in front of him for a moment. He pursed his lips randomly and murmured with a hint of dissatisfaction.
"Sister, how do you know I can't be that kind of person."
The kind of upright person she longs for.
After he said the words, Xi Yan's eyes were dazed for a moment, remembering the words that the medicine man who helped him escape grabbed his hand and said, "Evil prevails over good" when he escaped from Hongling Town.
Ni Hua looked at him blankly, will the boy who slays the dragon finally become a dragon?
Ni Hua suddenly felt like she couldn't see through him. She had been dreaming about the past frequently in recent days. She dreamed of the alley full of apricot blossoms, the gentle smile of her junior brother, and dreamed of racing on the snow-capped mountains. Sword, what he said to himself back then.
What should have been forgotten is so clear every word.
Is the last life really what I saw?
"Senior sister, how do you know that I will not become that kind of person..."
Ni Hua was in a trance again, not believing that the person who said such firm words, the junior brother who has been following behind him, could be Could it be that such a person really has something hidden?
Once suspicion is opened, it is difficult to close it. Many of the truths we think will be overthrown by the slightest trace of clues in the reflection and promotion over and over again. .
Ni Hua looked at Xi Yan.
“I hope that one day, the people we kill with our swords are the ones who deserve to be killed, rather than the blood of innocent people.”
"I listen to Senior Sister." Xi Yan looked at her seriously, with a little uneasiness. He slowly tightened the lamp in his hand, just when he felt that the temperature of the lamp in his hand was hot.
Ni Hua smiled and said, “There are some things that you just need to do and you don’t need to get approval from others.”
“It’s always you who you want to be. Your own choice."
"Sister, the aircraft has been repaired." Xi Yan interrupted her.
Ni Hua also took over the topic lightly. At that time, they did not know that the touch at this moment would determine their fate from now on.
A gust of sea breeze blew by, and the boat swayed violently. Nihua reflexively blocked him in front of him and taught him how to use the aircraft.
The most important thing when sailing on the sea is to have direction. She held an old compass and pointed for a long time.
"Well, I'll teach you how to use it."
Dusk fell on the horizon, and the waning moon slowly rose.
After the aircraft was hit, Nihua helplessly floated on the sea and leaned towards the coast. Waves of wind and waves were blowing, and all the things they could use were used up, and their spiritual power was almost gone.
Ni Hua looked at Xi Yan, whose cultivation level was lower than his own, and his pale face was about to shed. He had no choice but to get closer to him and send some spiritual power to him.
The moon sets in the west, darkness covers the entire sea, and danger comes as expected.
Ni Hua held the spiritual sword in his hand and fought in the sea. In the midst of the scarlet, Ni Hua dived into the water and dragged him away. Unknown dangers came from all directions. In the end, Nihua tried his best to use a barrier and let the sea water throw him to the unknown shore, but he was photographed on the shore like a dead fish.
Nihua woke up from her drowsiness, opened her eyes and saw the house with bare walls. She hadn't seen such a miserable life in a long time. She was confused for a moment. Where is this?
Looking down at himself, he put on new clothes and picked up his sword. Ni Hua saw that the communication jade in his hand had no signal at all. After tinkering for a while, at this moment, "Zhi Zhi Zhi" came from outside the door. "Sound, Nihua saw a very simple-looking middle-aged woman, wearing half-old clothes, walking in with a bowl of medicine in her hand.
After half a cup of tea, Nihua finally understood. They floated to the shore as they wished and were rescued by fishermen who went fishing.
The woman was very enthusiastic, her eyes lit up when she looked at her. "Girl, you're finally awake."
Ni Hua came back to her senses and uncomfortably took the one with a missing hole in her hand that contained the black liquid. She did not dare to drink from the bowl, but smiled and asked the woman for information. When she lowered her head, she noticed the chapped fingers of the middle-aged woman.
Mortal?
Ni Hua relaxed his vigilance slightly and asked him about Xi Yan's news and the situation here.
The woman called this place Guixu.
Nihua’s eyelids jumped. They were heading in the wrong direction and had drifted away from the Holy Realm, instead arriving in the Demon Realm. Guixu is the line between the Qinling and Huaihe Rivers that was divided into the Qinling Mountains and Huaihe River by an agreement signed between the demon world and the monks when the Three Realms were in turmoil. Therefore, Guixu has become a place where no one cares, a gray area. If they go on the road again at this time, I'm afraid they will have to take a special teleportation array. Not to mention that the barren mountains and ridges here are very remote, and it is close to the territory of the demon world. Whether it can find the teleportation array is a problem.
Ni Hua has a great headache. The Holy Realm competition will start in half a month. According to their original planned path, it only takes five days to go to the Holy Realm from the Xuantian Sect by flying boat. days distance.
Now that they have drifted to this nook and cranny, it is doubtful whether they can make it there. Failure to make it to the exam is equivalent to giving up.
Nihua sighed, and while using the Heart Demon Oath to feel Xi Yan's movements, he asked the woman about Xi Yan's news. Their spiritual power was exhausted and they fell into a coma. They were bound to him before they fell into coma. Even if they were scattered, they wouldn't be too far away.
"Girl, you are talking about the young man with you, he is next door." The woman smiled kindly.
Ni Hua stood up, explained a few words to the woman, and then rushed over to see Xi Yan.
The room next door has the same air leakage, with a bed made of several pieces of wood. When you open the door, you can see a pale-faced Xi Yan.
Ni Hua looked at Xi Yan who had passed out. He was quite peaceful when he was sleeping peacefully.
Nihua came closer and patted Xi Yan's face. She saw the hole in Xi Yan's chest that had not been treated much. She was lying there lifelessly like a rag doll, feeling a rare guilt in her conscience.
I don’t know if the discussion with him on the boat about the brilliance of human nature affected him. He seems to be very keen on sacrificing his life to save others. He has saved himself twice at sea alone. .
Ni Hua felt distressed and funny at the same time.
She lowered her head to tidy up Xi Yan's wounds.
Ni Hua checked the items on Xi Yan's body and frowned. It was so weird. They didn't treat Xi Yan's wounds, but changed her clothes. She touched the clothes in her hand. Storage ring.
Ni Hua looked down at his sword again. Could it be that they had a bad idea but didn't have the ability? Or is it simply because you are too poor and don’t have the energy to seek medical treatment?
Ni Hua soon knew the answer, because just after treating his wound, she noticed a prying gaze from outside. Soon after, she heard faint footsteps fading away. She calmly set up a small barrier to protect Xi Yan, and then chased after him, only to find two little ones squatting in the corner.
Ni Hua hid on the edge and listened to their whispers.
“Brother, they look very rich.”
“The clothing material is very precious, I don’t know how many spiritual stones they have on them.”
"What are you planning? Did you see the swords on their backs? Maybe they are monks."
"But that man looks like he is about to die. After he dies, won't the spirit stone be there?" Ours.”
“But that woman looks like she’s with them. We haven’t taken action yet, maybe our family will be raped. She was chopped to death.”
“But I just saw her giving a spiritual stone to A Niang. How many months would we have to save for such a large spiritual stone?”
"Brother, grandma said to let them take us out, and then the two of us will be divorced. How many spiritual stones do you want?"
"Cultivating immortals, how can we cultivate if we don't have the talent to cultivate immortals?"
"Anyway, Auntie said they are people who cultivate immortals. Of course they can cultivate even if they don't have the talent."
"But, we left. , what should A Niang and the others do? ?”
“We’ll come back to see Aniang after we earn money.”
Ni Hua saw that they were indeed mortal children. Arrange things clearly. The corner of her mouth twitched.
Nihua returned to the wooden house again. It was close to the demon world, and hunting was not allowed in the back mountains. The rough sea here was not suitable for fishing, so what did they rely on to make a living.
Soon, Nihua knew how they made a living. In the gray area, many people would fight every day. If there were too many people fighting, someone would die. After death, the indigenous people near Guixu The residents would drag the bodies over.
If the person who died was a demon, they would use secret methods to cook and eat them in their original form.
If it is a human being, deal with it directly.
There are two or three families living on this mountain, but they hardly move around.
Nihua withdrew his spiritual energy and leaned on the bed to meditate as if nothing had happened. Not long after, the woman knocked on the door. She looked at Nihua carefully, "We baked something, girls, do you want to eat?"
Nihua shook his head, opened the door, and looked She looked at the small fire in the distance and saw that they were examining the corpse of the monster, but she did not walk over.
The woman carefully looked at the sword Ni Hua carried on her back, and then at her two children, fearing that she would blame herself for being cruel and leave a bad impression, she sighed, "Girl , don’t blame us, there is nothing we can do about it. The strong men in the mountains went out to sea and were caught and eaten by the sea monsters, because the sea monsters were running rampant and they couldn’t catch fish... We again She is a widower."
"What are you telling me about?"
The Guixu area is backed by mountains. The first people to settle here were originally monster hunters. To make a living, I don't know when, those monsters suddenly went into riot, their spiritual power increased greatly, and after eating all the strong men in the village, these old, weak, women and children were left behind. It's because there is a small barrier here, so they migrate here to avoid the interference of monsters, but they can't go out no matter how far away they are.
"You mean the monsters are rioting?" Ni Hua held his sword and looked at the small barrier at the foot of the mountain.
As expected, monsters and human cultivators have always been colluding.
Ni Hua suddenly noticed Xi Yan moving her fingers and looked down.
"Senior sister." Xi Yan opened her eyes weakly and grasped her sleeves tightly, as if she was afraid that she would run away.
Ni Hua looked at Xi Yan with half-closed eyes and clear eyes, and twitched the corner of his mouth, "Don't pretend, when did you wake up?"
"Just now." Xi Yan glanced around the room with a different meaning in his eyes.
“You don’t even have to ask, where is this?” Ni Hua saw that he hadn’t even finished the process and complained, “You seem to be very familiar with your place.”
“Forgot. I told senior sister that I lived here for a while when I was a child." Xi Yan lowered his brows. It was certainly not an accident to come here from such a distant sea.
"You have lived in so many places." Looking at Xi Yan's unashamed look, Ni Hua found it hard not to wonder whether he had transferred her here on purpose. His feelings are his own that teach him how to survive at sea. They are stupid and ridiculous, and they are clearly playing tricks on Guan Gong.
"Yeah." Xi Yan hesitated for a while, not knowing how to explain it.
"You don't know about the Saint Realm entrance exam, right?" Ni Hua sighed.
Xi Yan saw that Nihua was thinking about this matter instead of senior brother, and smiled, "Senior sister, do you think we can't survive, so they can survive?"
"Senior sister, I received this Insider information about Qiansi Candu Part of the list was leaked, and the people on the list were in panic all day long. As long as Director Yun is alive, they will have some plans." Xi Yan blinked, and his gray pupils slowly turned into a restless look. Red, he couldn't help but move his body.
