Chapter 71 Demon City
A long time later, when someone stepped into the most prosperous capital city in the demon world and walked through the most ingenious palace, they felt in a trance on the jade steps paved with ashes. You can hear the faint screams and calls for help coming from the air. The sounds are intense and echo for a long time, which is creepy.
Dark clouds shrouded the sky, and in the tumbling fire of karma, the huge barrier looked like a thin layer of paper, and it was in danger amid the roar.
And you are standing outside the barrier, feeling the same earth shaking.
You follow the crowd and watch the fire of karma in the three realms come to the world like a punishment from heaven. You can't help but ponder, is there really a punishment from heaven in this world?
No, it's not.
Such karmic fire must be man-made.
You didn’t dare to guess who it was. At some point, your hands clenched and tightened, and your nails dug into the flesh. There was a high and low sound echoing in your ears. In a trance, you seemed to be watching. to his face.
Did you suddenly think that Xi Yan would die?
Your head seems to have been stirred by something, and it hurts.
He is inside the barrier.
As soon as you think of this answer, you feel as if you have passed through the cold of March, and the wind from all directions penetrates the cracks in your bones.
After you went back, you felt cold all over and restless.
The fire burned the palace for three days. You couldn't even imagine that he would still be alive.
You saw Xi Yan walk into that palace with your own eyes.
Your mind is blank, so you try your best to keep yourself busy.
At that time, you had just learned a few tricks to help people rest their souls, so you helped the shopkeeper in the hospital to place those monsters that had gone insane after the riots.
Another day, looking at this scene in the yard, looking at the demons who had recovered from their illnesses after some medical treatment, you leaned on the threshold and let out a breath, which took about half a cup of tea. , you said goodbye to the shopkeeper’s solicitation and left alone.
The little demon you healed looked at your back and suddenly ran over to stop you.
The companion stabbed him before he came to his senses. You frowned and looked at him.
Almond eyes, peach cheeks and snowy skin, black hair and hibiscus cheeks, even if you are disguised as a monster, you still have an attractive face.
He looked at you, not daring to meet your eyes, but lowered his head and said to you, "Thank you."
You smiled at him naturally, turned around and left.
Your steps were not fast, and you could vaguely hear the voices talking behind you.
“You like her.”
The little demon stammered in denial, "Don't, don't... nonsense."
He suddenly blushed and gave various explanations in a panic, while the demons laughed and said nothing.
You paused quietly, turned around, and watched them playing thoughtfully. You remembered the familiar look in the little demon's eyes, and you smiled and shook your head.
When you walked through the threshold, your heart suddenly skipped a beat. You lowered your head and looked not far away. Among the many degenerate sheds that were sheltered from the wind and rain, your eyes fell on those huddled and desolate people. On the group in the corner.
There were many pedestrians coming and going, and everyone was in a hurry and had no time to pay attention to who was waiting in the shed with nowhere to go, or who was begging somewhere.
Like many people, you were just passing by like this. At this moment, you suddenly felt a strong and scrutinizing gaze. You frowned and looked into the crowd, only to find that there was nothing. You didn't care.
The next day, you came again, you passed by here, and you suddenly felt the strong and excessive gaze again.
And this time, you finally noticed the target.
That was a figure huddled in the corner. You looked at his long hair covering his face. You looked at him maintaining the same posture as before. If it weren’t for his gaze, you wouldn’t even have noticed. Know whether he is dead or alive.
You looked at him. When you walked over to observe him by mistake, the figure suddenly moved slightly, as if he wanted to get up, but half of his body was supported by his arms and fell down again.
Your eyes swept across the creepy gazes that fell on him. You didn't know what he would be taken to do after his death. Out of a sense of empathy, or because you had a strong intuition in your heart, you couldn't. Leave him alone.
You don’t know if that person can survive until tomorrow after leaving, so after you made your decision, you walked towards him decisively.
Your vision is dim, and you only see him wrapped in dirty clothes. The clothes are gray with traces of ashes, as if they were burned. You look at his mountain-like body and long, messy hair. , your heart is beating a little fast.
"Are you okay?" You half-crouched in front of him, breathing a little softer unconsciously.
The man moved but said nothing.
But he didn’t seem hostile, you continued. "Are you willing to go back with me?"
As soon as you finished speaking, the other person suddenly raised his head, and in his messy long hair, you saw half of his face burned.
Looking at the horrific scars, you felt a little creepy, but you soon calmed down. You looked at the profile of his other half, which was intact but not similar to Xi Yan at all. You were sure you had never seen this face before.
For some reason, you still looked at him and asked blankly, "Who are you?"
He didn't answer, but you didn't think he was mute.
The look in his eyes when he looked at you flashed, clearly filled with many complicated emotions.
So, you paused for a moment, and then asked again very firmly, "Do you want to come with me?"
Under what circumstances can a person put his own If your life is given to someone you have never met, or an old enemy from the past, you can only wait for death without wanting to die.
His voice was hoarse and he said, "Okay."
After you heard his voice that was completely different from what you expected, you looked at the Demon Palace in the distance that had been reduced to ashes. , you are guessing that he escaped from there.
What about Xi Yan, did he escape?
Still, this person is him.
After he glanced at you, his body stiffened for a moment, and he lowered his head, still not speaking. You waited patiently for him for a few quarters of an hour.
You sighed softly and planned to get up to help him.
You just stood up, he saw your movements, and suddenly, he grabbed you excitedly.
One of his hands grabbed your ankle, almost crushing it with force.
Pain and fright came over you. You looked at him blankly, looking at his abandoned eyes, and you realized that during the few minutes you waited, he thought you were regretting, but you Now abandon him.
You finally helped him helplessly and took him back to your temporary home in Demon City.
When you touched his cold skin, his whole body trembled, his head lowered, and he curled up again.
You can't imagine that the person in front of you is Xi Yan.
But you can't help but guess that it's him. You kept hoping in your heart that he would be the one to escape.
You returned to the house. It was a small courtyard. After you pushed the door and entered, there were barren weeds. After you came to the Demon City and settled down, you didn’t have time to clean up. As soon as you entered the room, there were only A shabby wooden bed, but you made the room clean.
You help him go in and rest.
You remembered the "Resurrection Pill" that your master gave you when you came to the demon world. You looked at him, ready to check his serious wounds. You wanted to take off his clothes, but he stopped him. you.
He stared at the Resurrection Pill in your hand for a long time.
“Is this for me?”
You nodded and looked at him with some confusion
For a moment, he remembered that you had never asked him since he left home. He asked his name without questioning him. He couldn't help but ask, "Are you so kind to everyone?"
When you heard this, a voice flashed in your mind: "Yes. Are there other sisters, or is it just me?”
You suddenly made a "puff" sound and laughed.
He didn't know what you were laughing at, so he looked at you with a silly look.
You didn't give him a specific answer, but said lightly, "What do you think?"
You helped him sit up on the edge of the bed and poured him a bowl of tea.
The Resurrection Pill can heal all wounds in the world. You didn’t know until later that this is a rare pill in the world of immortality.
However, he was too seriously injured and could not heal him. The Resurrection Pill could make the wound heal like a medical miracle, but it could not cure his level of internal injuries.
The injuries on his body were very serious, the meridians were all misaligned, and the entire spiritual body seemed to have been hollowed out, without a trace of spiritual energy.
You withdrew your hand to check the pulse with a guilty conscience. You only know some crude medical skills and some weird spells. You don't know how to heal these serious injuries. You are very sad to give him. Ask a doctor to see you.
So you emptied the spirit stones.
Unexpectedly, he didn’t appreciate it. "Don't worry, you can't be saved."
His voice was deliberately adjusted to be low and soft. At first glance, it sounded like a genuine smokey voice.
So, is he now calmly accepting that he has become a useless person?
You couldn't help but look out at the Demon Palace in the distance. The only people who could enter that banquet were big demons.
You have always been unsure whether it is your junior brother Xi Yan, but you treat him well by some strange combination of circumstances.
In the past few days, you have treated him sincerely. He was moved by you and took the initiative to tell him his name. He called himself A Li.
He is a nameless orphan.
He seemed very sincere yet perfunctory.
You pretended to accept this statement for the time being. Until that day, you couldn't sleep. You tossed and turned for a while, holding the lamp. At night, when you followed the wall and quietly looked at his wound, you saw Because of the pain, he revealed half of his demonic body. You stepped away silently, observing him.
You have seen the prototype of Xi Yan more than once. You watched the guy who called himself A Li dragging his long snake tail and rolling around on the bed. His beautiful scales were dim and his whole body was glowing. Some bloody smell.
You feel sad and funny at the same time.
Junior brother Xi Yan has always been a very proud person.
You can’t say that this person is exactly the same as Xi Yanchang who revealed his true form, but he is also very similar.
You don’t know what methods Xi Yan has used to deceive you, but you silently don’t expose him.
During the day, you treated him as a stranger again, silently acting as a kind person and giving him more elixirs to heal his injuries.
Once you have a definite answer, when you observe him again, you will find that all his resistance to you is actually a kind of rejection.
Occasionally when the weather is nice, you take him out for a walk in the busy demon market. He looks at the sun and seems uncomfortable and wants to go to a corner. You hold his hand and walk into the crowd.
After the demon world has gone through this turmoil, many of the cancers have been eliminated, and the chaos is a bit chaotic. However, the thousands of residual poisons in the demon world have curbed its development from the root, which is a good thing in the long run. .
Many great demons have not experienced that turmoil, but people who have walked through that demon palace are daunted by it. Instead, they are not so obsessed with the title of demon king. They personally manage their own acres. In three parts of the country, the water in the well does not interfere with the water in the river, and everyone is in peace for a long time.
You stopped at a shop and looked at him but hesitated to speak. You were not sure it was him.
But if it was him, where did he get these karmic fires from the three realms, and what is the connection between this and his exhausted spiritual veins.
You stay here with him for a while, because the plot point in the book is still a long time away from you, and what's even more amazing is that this paragraph is not in the book.
When you have free time, accompany him to watch the sun rise and set. When the sun sets again according to its eternal path, everything on the ground is covered in a blur of rose color. .
Look at him stretching out his fingers, watching the paper man in his sleeve slipping onto the table, watching the baby protecting the vivid paper man.
You turned sideways and got closer to him, and glued the paper man's back to his neck. The paper man bared his teeth at you.
You laughed. "Very interesting stuff."
The paper man jumped away and you chased him back. Suddenly, there was a "boom" in the house. When you rushed back to the house, you found Xi Yan lying on the ground. When he saw you come in, he looked at you blankly. .
His eyes were a little nervous, as if he was afraid that you would take away his paper man.
You smiled and heard him ask, "Aluo, is this... your thing?"
You were stunned for a while, shook your head in denial, and then nodded again. nod. "It seems to have something to do with it, but it's not mine."
Xi Yan lay back on his side as if he was relieved, and quietly curled up the corners of his mouth and smiled.
But the Paper Man understood the hidden meaning in his words. She looked at you blankly, then turned to look at Xi Yan with a sad expression.
After being injured, Xi Yan's health went up and down. Sometimes when he was seriously ill, he even had to rest on a cave. You couldn't bear to see Xi Yan who was almost reduced to a useless person.
Xi Yan's identity is embarrassing. He is neither a human nor a demon. He is at the lowest level among the knights in the world of immortality. If he has no spiritual power at all, he will inevitably be bullied once he leaves you.
Although the mind is a good thing, in the world of immortality where strength is valued, if you have no strength at all, you will definitely end up in the worst end.
In order to enable him to practice again, you contacted the master and spent a lot of effort. You fed Xi Yan a lot of weird things from time to time, or asked him to practice some unknown skills. The Dharma, in short, was so unclear, but he had some spiritual power, and barely became one of the less popular monks.
You watched him slowly become independent in the Demon City. You also collected a lot of information in the Demon City. After staying for a while, the master contacted you and told you that it was time to go back. You looked at him hesitantly, I don't know if I should take him back.
Later, you sighed and decided to leave him here.
