Chapter 5 Outside the Door
Li Wuxiang stared at her for a while, then nodded.
It's also reasonable. Zhao Xi is different from the one hundred and one beast-like teenagers below. She has been with her for a long time——
"What's his name?"
"...Zhao Puppet."
——When you stay with Zhao Puppet, you must give her a slightly more reasonable explanation. But "annihilation" and "flame ruins"? This reason is too perfunctory.
Li Wuxiang smiled and let her go. At this time, Zhao Xi seemed to have regained some strength and was able to lie on the couch with his arms supported. She looked at Li Wuxiang with wide eyes, as if she wanted to see his expression clearly: "Why are you laughing?"
"Have you gone out to see it?" Li Wuxiang asked her, "Did Zhao Puppet take you out to see it? Or is it just what he said? Have you personally seen the ruins of the sea of fire you mentioned?"
"I..."
Li Wuxiang sighed. Not sadness or misery, but relief. Zhao Xi should indeed be a victim like himself, and this place should be built in an uninhabited place. Now, he is not in a hurry to go out. Because of the original owner's confused mind, most of his memories about who he was were messed up, and he knew nothing about the world at the moment.
Although Zhao Xi is not a normal person, he at least knows a little more than the original owner. He decided to ask everything clearly first, at least to know what kind of situation he might face after leaving here, and then talk about "going out" matter.
"Tell me about Zhao Puppet first. What's going on with these children, and what's going on with you."
……
According to Zhao Xi, Zhao Puppet is a Qi Refiner who is about to form an elixir. This kind of cultivation is very rare in the eyes of ordinary people and belongs to the "immortal stream" - of course, this may also be Zhao Puppet's self-bragging.
About ten years ago, a great disaster occurred in the human world. The sky fell and the earth collapsed, and fire and rain fell suddenly. Within a few months, all living creatures in the world came to an end.
And Zhao Puppet accidentally found an ancient immortal cave - this is it - and spent a lot of effort to re-activate the restrictions in the cave, and then got one hundred and two children.
What Zhao Puppet thinks is that since the world has come to an end, he can simply use this place to preserve some seeds of vitality for the world. On the other hand, he also wants to use these children to become "Tai Yi".
Zhao Xi didn't know what "Tai Yi" was, but Li Wuxiang felt that there seemed to be relevant knowledge somewhere in his memory, but he couldn't remember it for a while. However, this fact confirmed his previous suspicion that the one hundred and one children were part of a ceremony or sacrifice.
Zhao Xi has served Zhao Puppet like this for more than ten years, and Zhao Puppet often feels lonely alone, so he will occasionally reveal some things he knows so that Zhao Xi will not be as confused as those children below.
Zhao Pup originally thought that in a few years at most, the surviving masters would clean up the world and eliminate the fire of destruction, but he did not want to wait for eleven years, until the food was about to run out, the fire was still not extinguished. Therefore, a year ago, he cut off the food of the "officials" below and starved them to death. However, the most important "emperor" survived because of the secret protection of the paper man.
But another year passed, and the fire outside still continued, so Zhao Puppet could only stop the "Emperor" from eating. Later, he realized that there seemed to be something wrong with the "Emperor", so he told Zhao Xi that when practicing "Tai Yi", there would be extremely rare circumstances that would attract external evil spirits. He had only heard from the founder, but never thought that it would actually happen, so Became suspicious.
"I have wanted to kill him for a long time." Zhao Xi was tired and lay down on the couch again, but his breathing was smooth and his face was no longer pale. "He always tortures me——"
She was wearing a short dress that was also very worn and exposed in many places. Li Wuxiang looked at her body - the girl was about fifteen or sixteen years old. She was not pretty, but her skin was white and delicate. Apart from the knife wound on her chest, there were no other scars.
"You have no other injuries."
"No, it's worse than beating me. He tortured me like this -" Zhao Xi bent his legs, "tortured me like this."
Li Wuxiang waved his hand: "Okay, I understand. What happens next?" "Then I thought, if there is no food for a while, he still has to keep that external evil, which is you, and then he will die. I have enough to eat. I haven’t been able to eat more than two days in the past few days. Since you are a foreigner, maybe If you can kill him, I will tell you to kill him. At that time, he was making elixirs. I thought he couldn't hear it, but he heard it and I started fighting with him. I was about to be killed by him, but I cried. I begged him that I knew I was wrong and he came to help me, so I stabbed him to death.”
"Isn't he a Qi Refiner who is about to form an elixir?"
Zhao Xi frowned: "A Qi Refiner who is about to form an elixir will die if his heart is stabbed?"
Li Wuxiang nodded. It seems that the "practitioners" in this world are not the kind of ridiculously powerful monsters, but rather resemble the Taoist priests from ancient legends.
He thought for a while: "Has he ever told you what it was like outside before the world was destroyed?"
"It doesn't seem to be very good. I remember him when I was a child. In the first few years, he told me that it would be good to destroy the world, and there would be no need to be driven into the wilderness by the Eight-Part Mysterious Sect. . Anything else..."
The Fuyuan Baosheng Pill is extremely powerful. After a while, Zhao Xi's expression became as usual. He even turned over and put his arms under his head: "What's the use of asking? Zhao Puppet said it's like you." The sanity of such an external evil will definitely be affected by the original owner. Don’t you listen? Do you have the strength? Moreover, the outside is already a sea of flames and ruins, and we can’t get out... But you look much more pleasing to the eye than Zhao Puppet. Thinking about it this way, you are a good outsider. Zhao Puppet was always trying to scare me. Talking about external evil can make people crazy, but you saved me.”
When she said this, Li Wuxiang walked to the front room with a sharp-edged dagger in his hand, checked the two remaining sacks, and found that they were indeed filled with food and medicinal materials, and they had been baked to dryness. It looks like the meatballs they eat down there are made from these.
"The two of us can still eat that for several months." Zhao Xi got off the wooden couch, supported the screen, and looked at Li Wuxiang worriedly, "I eat less, just give me a little a day."
< br>
Li Wuxiang turned around and looked at her: "You don't have to worry about this anymore. Tell me where the door is and how to get out, and I'll give you a surprise."
Check out the 16-9 book bar and see the correct version!
"It's already a sea of fire outside!"
Li Wuxiang knew that although Zhao Xi looked normal, he was actually no different from the original owner of this body. He was just trapped in a slightly larger illusion. He didn't try to convince her, he just looked at her silently.
Zhao Xi was so frightened by his stare that he shrank back from the screen and pointed to the east side of the wooden couch: "...over there."
Li Wuxiang walked to the stone wall on the east side, reached out and pushed it, and felt that the wall slid outward a little. This should be the same as the one below, a door hidden in the wall. He added a little more force and heard a slight friction sound, indicating that the stone door was beginning to open.
Maybe what Zhao Puppet said to Zhao Xi was true. This was indeed some kind of "immortal cave" he had found, so he didn't know how to lock the door.
Li Wuxiang turned sideways and looked at Zhao Xi who was holding on to the screen and looking at him: "Look and see if there is a sea of fire and ruins outside."
He exerted more force with his arm, and the door was indeed pushed open a gap.
A strong heat wave rolled back in, almost blowing him away, and the room was suddenly illuminated in a fiery red. Li Wuxiang turned his head in shock——
There is a cliff outside the door, and the door seems to be opened at a very high point on the cliff somewhere.
... He saw a sky filled with flaming clouds, countless giant trees that had fallen on the ground in the distance and were burned to bright red, and a sea of fire that filled the space between heaven and earth!
Let us spin and clap our hands to welcome our leader No. 0001, Jieyu Begonia Flower!
The second update is at eight o'clock in the morning.
