Lin Zhizhi wanted to take this opportunity to educate Su Yu well, but he thought about it, Jiyou has always been mature and stable, how could he do something like grabbing a talisman with his bare hands? This doesn't fit his character at all, does it
With this preconceived idea, he recalled the scene just now, and noticed that Su Yu's back seemed to be a little stiff, and immediately blamed his back injury for this behavior.
This is a bit embarrassing, especially since he was still talking about people in his heart...
This time, the young master of the Lin family has a lot of drama in his heart. Carrying a cauldron of "My friend saved me from self-destruction, and I was injured again because of that injury", the corners of his mouth twitched, and he took out another medicinal pill with heartache. He grabbed Su Yu's arm as lightly as possible, looked at the opening, and wanted to heal him.
This time, Su Yu didn't obediently obey him, but took off the belt at will, tied a knot with one hand at will, tied the wound, and said to Lin Zhizhi, "Don't worry about it, it's alright, let's go first."
Lin Zhizhi: "..."
—Ah, these words are very familiar. Isn’t that what he said to Su Yu just now? Now that the feng shui turns, Su Yujuebi deliberately said this to anger him!
After Su Yu finished speaking, he wanted to leave with Lin Zhizhi, but was restrained by one hand. He looked at the black-haired boy with a cold face a little strangely. I saw the other party untied the knot he had tied at random, restrained the wound with force, stopped the blood flow, and tied a dead knot for him.
The kind of dead knot twisted into a twist.
Su Yu didn't stop him. He tried to raise his left hand, but found that he couldn't move because of the tight pressure on his arm, so he could only hold it in a weird posture in front of his chest. Jiyou coughed and asked innocently, "I know, you are too tight. If there is an enemy coming, how should I deal with it?"
Lin Zhizhi walked in front, and he said casually without looking back when he heard the words: "I just do it casually, you can take it apart now."
"You tied it up for me, and I naturally won't take it apart." Su Yu followed behind him, thought for a moment, quickened his pace to be side by side with him, and said in a pleasing tone like he had done thousands of times in the past: "Then now It's all up to you to protect me."
These words made Lin Zhizhi a little uncomfortable.
Su Yu used to play the role of protector, but now the positions of the two are reversed.
When Su Yu caught up with him, Lin Zhizhi deliberately kept some distance from him before answering, "...Depending on the situation, you don't necessarily need my protection."
His estrangement made Su Yu's eyes dim.
"Zhizhi has really grown up."
He abruptly slowed down his pace and stayed behind, watching the back of the young man walking forward, these words overflowed from his lips like a sigh, drowned in the sound of birdsong in the secret realm.
Lin Zhizhi had grown up in a new world he couldn't control, and this young man he had grown up with no longer needed him.
His question was actually a temptation. If he had not confessed, Lin Zhizhi would have answered with great joy, "Then let me protect you", but now there is only one answer that is neither salty nor light.
—Then create a world that has to depend on him.
Su Yu looked down at the Qiankun Ring on his finger, the large special material reflected sunlight elsewhere, and swayed the color like glass.
The friends in front may not have noticed that he is temporarily behind, or they may not want to care and still move forward on their own. The young man is tall and straight, looking from behind like the ice that never melts on the Jiutian iceberg, he is alone and independent, and he no longer needs to rely on others.
…
The two walked together all the way, but they never met any powerful magic cultivator.
Su Yu followed up after the first one left behind. When he came up again, he smiled lightly and his movements were gentle and moderate, a measure that would not make people think too much.
Just like a real elder brother, he treats his younger brother in the second phase of his family tolerantly and moderately.
When night fell, the two found a temporary resting place under a huge towering tree. Lin Zhizhi found a few pieces of firewood, and after raising the fire with a fire stick, he took out two special vessels from the Qiankun Ring. The roast chicken (… ) and water that he was holding were handed to Su Yu.
Su Yu took it with his right hand, and the first thing that flashed in his mind was the image of Lin Zhizhi and the child roasting chicken in Luoxian Jianzong. He held the roast chicken tightly, and asked in a joking tone, "Zhizhi is now in love with roast chicken again?"
Lin Zhizhi was bitten by the word "again" by him, and remembered the past when he used to go to restaurants in the secular world, his face flushed, and he said vaguely, "No... these were stuffed to me when I came here, if you don't want to refuse, just refuse. Take it."
This is true.
At that time, when Feng Qin learned that Lin Zhizhi was going to enter the secret realm and leave for a month, he cried and shouted that he would put the prototype of himself as a little phoenix into the Qiankun ring. After being rewarded by Lin Zhizhi a few times, he was knocked on the forehead, and then he settled down. He stepped back and asked for the next best thing. He roasted a lot of chickens for his sweetheart, lest he would be hungry and have no chickens to eat.
But frankly speaking, after eating for so long, even if this chicken is unparalleled in the world, he is tired of eating it. At this time, holding the roast chicken, it was a little hard to swallow.
Su Yu knew Lin Zhizhi better than ordinary people. Seeing the expression on his face to the chicken, he knew that he was wrong. He was very understanding and wanted to take some food out of his Qiankun ring - because his left hand was tightly bound, He had to return the roast chicken to Lin Zhizhi first, and then take out the dry food.
Lin Zhizhi also became considerate at this time. Seeing Su Yu's difficult movements, he suddenly realized that he washed a green leaf with water, and tore the roast chicken into strips and placed it on top, so that Su Yu could eat it with one hand.
Su Yu only felt that his impetuous heart was comforted by the other party's small gesture.
Although he didn't want to eat the roast chicken made by his rival(?), since Lin Zhizhi handed it to him, he still had to try it—
Just when he was planning this, Lin Zhizhi only felt the Wenxian Sword in the Qiankun Ring tremble and sounded a warning sound. He immediately pulled Su Yu to stand up alertly, put away the food in front of him, and asked the immortal sword in front of them.
"Your consciousness is very powerful, is there any secret treasure?" A powerful voice cut through the silence, "It's not easy to be able to find me."
In the woods directly in front of the two of Lin Zhizhi, a man in black stood on the dividing line between fire and darkness. Half of his face was covered by a thick beard, his eyes were cold, and the exposed skin was covered with wrinkles, which did not match his figure, just like a young adult who was suddenly drained of his essence.
Seeing that Lin Zhizhi didn't answer, he continued on his own: "Don't tell me? Then I'll learn from your corpse later - I hope you can keep a whole corpse."
After saying this, he glanced at the place where the roast chicken was placed with sharp eyes: "The world is really unfair, my stupid junior brother has no bones, but you are laughing and laughing here, it is really unfair... I decided to give you death, Come to comfort my junior brother in the spirit of heaven."
"..." This uncle has watched too many dramas, is he in the late stage of secondary school illness
Lin Zhizhi didn't want to talk nonsense, and when he was about to take the lead, Su Yu grabbed his hand, put it in the boy's ear and said, "Let's escape."
Lin Zhizhi: "?"
"He is the 'Sealer', you can't beat him."
After hearing Su Yu's words, Lin Zhizhi frowned.
The sealer refers to the monk whose ability exceeds the limit, and the ability is sealed and mixed in through a special method. If the Floating Secret Realm is limited to the Qi-Refining Stage, then only the Qi-Refining Stage Aura will be left after the base-building stage magic cultivator mixed with the secret method is sealed.
The scary thing about this kind of person is that his consciousness is still at the level of the foundation-building stage, and his control over the magical instruments is extremely fine. And if he annoyed him, and untied the seal in a fit of anger, even if he would be suppressed by the secret realm, it would be enough to kill a few qi-refining cultivators before that.
Foundation building and Qi refining are not the same thing.
He didn't notice Su Yu's language trap - he said "you can't beat it" instead of "we can't beat it", so that even if things go wrong in the future, it can be explained that he is still the one who never lied to his friends Su Yu.
The young master of the Lin family looked at Su Yu's injured left hand, his expression changed several times, and when Su Yu spoke up again, he made up his mind and ran away with him.
There was a very tacit understanding between the two, and they hurried away in different directions in the forest.
The sealer Mo Xiu snorted coldly and chased in the direction of the first person who discovered him.
His cultivation method is only qualified to practice in the foundation-building period, so the speed is very fast. Even if you can't use the spiritual energy above the Qi refining stage, it is still very fast.
In a blink of an eye, he caught up with Lin Zhizhi who was in front of him, forming a claw with one hand, and clasping the back of the young man with a claw in the air.
Lin Zhizhi heard the sound from behind, and stepped on the tree to move, avoiding the attack from the people behind him.
"Boom-", the tree hit by the paw print instantly collapsed with a loud noise.
Lin Zhizhi's speed was not as fast as his. Seeing that the demon cultivator had already caught up, he simply gave up running away, and gritted his teeth to fight back. The divine sword swung horizontally, and the divine thunder on it gathered into a thunderball, slamming towards the opponent.
The sealer is well-deserved, this magic cultivator is above Lin Zhizhi whether it is the experience of struggle or the meticulous control of spiritual power. Seeing the lightning ball with the same attributes as his own, he dexterously avoided the thunder light and turned his fingers into eagle claws. He jumped up from the sky and fought against Lin Zhizhi extremely quickly.
The moment he took off, he stomped his foot, and cunningly and unusually, a wisp of demonic energy was melted into the soil, and he swam towards the black-haired boy like an earthworm.
This black gas is really hard to distinguish with the naked eye at night, and it swims very fast. When it is about to touch Lin Zhizhi's feet, it jumps up suddenly, taking advantage of the fierce collision between Mo Xiu and Lin Zhizhi, the sword and the claw cover it. Teenager's sight.
In the darkness, Lin Zhizhi only had time to subconsciously dodge to the side, moved the claw that should have been in the center of the mouth on his right shoulder, and knocked him out.
The boy's mouth was fishy, blood oozing from the corners of his mouth, and was firmly caught by a pair of hands.
—Su Yu, who came around from behind, easily hugged him in his arms. He had untied the bandage on his left arm, and lovingly wiped the blood from the corner of the lips of the boy in his arms with his right hand, and put it into his mouth.
Sweeter than anything in the world.
"It's alright," he said softly. "It's all my fault, it's my fault for being late."
The sealer Mo Xiu didn't pursue the victory, he stopped in the distance and looked at the boy in white who suddenly appeared, and finally clapped his hands and laughed: "I didn't expect you to be a couple - such a pair of wild mandarin ducks, don't worry, I will bury you in the together."
Su Yu covered Lin Zhizhi's eyes with his right hand.
Lin Zhizhi wanted to struggle—damn, it's too ugly to be hugged by Princess Jiyou in this posture! But for some reason, his eyelids suddenly sank, and he fell into Su Yu's arms.
"You hurt him." Su Yu hugged Lin Zhizhi with one hand, cultivating to the devil.
He is not smiling now, but his eyes are cold.
Mo Xiu, as a sealer at the foundation-building stage, was surprised by the eyes of a righteous young man. At that moment, he only felt ten thousand swords pass through between his eyebrows, and he was hung from the abyss with chains, and a blood-colored corridor stretched out in his mind - but these disappeared in the blink of an eye, and he couldn't tell whether it was an illusion or something else what.
He froze in place for a while, then narrowed his eyes and said to Su Yu: "Compared to the right way, you are more like a member of my demon clan now... Do you want to consider joining my demon clan? I can recommend it for you."
Su Yu didn't answer him, but was genuinely distressed: "I really want to kill you now, but I still have some use in keeping you... I'll let you live a little longer."
Mo Xiu was taken aback by his tone, and said with a smile: "You have such a big tone, a mere qi refining disciple, how can you kill me?"
"You'll find out soon enough."
Su Yu stood up holding Lin Zhizhi, and his every move carried the noble elegance of an aristocratic family. When he looked up at the demon cultivator again, his expression had already slowed down, and the killing intent in his eyes was removed, and he said to him calmly.
Sealer Demon Xiu didn't intend to make unnecessary verbal entanglements with the young man in front of him. At this time, he was still in the shape of an eagle, leaping from the sky and attacking Su Yu straight.
Su Yu waved his hand, and a silvery enchantment enveloped the area where the magic cultivator was. From the point of view of the magic cultivator, he came to a bottomless step in an instant. Going up or down will always return to the starting point.
No matter how he attacked, he couldn't break this barrier.
After a day passed, when the barrier was automatically released, Su Yu and the others had long since disappeared.
…
When Lin Zhizhi woke up, he was lying in Su Yu's arms.
Jiyou's chin rested on the top of his head, a hand wrapped loosely around him from his chest, and his warm breath was sprayed on his neck. His shoulders were no longer sore, replaced by a chill.
The young master of the Lin family was startled, he jumped up from his friend Ji's arms in a panic, accidentally bumped into Su Yu's chin, and stood up with a frown on his head.
Su Yu also seemed to have just been woken up by Lin Zhizhi's movement. With sleepy eyes, he rubbed the red mark on his chin and asked, "What's wrong?"
Lin Zhi checked himself up and down: the clothes are correct, they are still the same; the wounds from yesterday have been treated with medicine; there is no other abnormality in the body; the most important thing is that he is still the body of Yuanyang!
Putting his mind at ease, he recalled what happened yesterday and asked Su Yu, "Why did you come here at that time, what did you do to make me dizzy?"
Su Yu looked like he didn't wake up, caressed his neck, paused like he was empty, and then slowly replied: "He didn't come after me, most of the time he's catching up with you, I'm not worried, just go and have a look. As for stunning you... I have some special methods for the sealer, this is my secret, I don't want anyone to find out, can you forgive me if you know it?"
Su Yu was unexpectedly candid.
If he made up an excuse at will, Lin Zhizhi might not ask questions, but he would inevitably become more distant in his heart. He said this now, but it was equivalent to dissecting this secret and telling Lin Zhizhi that stunning him was only about dealing with the sealer, and it was not a strange attempt.
Lin Zhizhi gave a low "en", and couldn't help but caress the wound on his shoulder and asked, "Did you give me medicine? What else did you do?"
After listening to his question, Su Yu had a straight face: "Your injury is serious, so I will apply some medicine for you. As for other things, do you want me to do anything else?"
Lin Zhizhi's mouth twitched, and he shook his head hurriedly, saying that he was going to go out to relieve himself and escaped here.
It's not that he thinks too much, it's just that the "thinking day" just opened a new door for him - now the system is sleeping, there is no way to know whether Su Yu has given up or not, so he doesn't blame him for thinking too much.
Su Yu looked at his back and curled the corners of his mouth.
He didn't do anything last night. It's just that I touched it while the medicine was on, and then kissed erotically, leaving a lot of marks, which were then removed with the wound medicine.
It's not really what you've done... is it
Leaving aside Su Yu who was still reminiscing(?), Lin Zhizhi had already walked out of the cave.
The place Su Yu chose for the night was a cave, which could be called a mountain and water, and there was a small stream when he went out, with beautiful scenery. After Lin Zhizhi went out, he jumped down lightly, came to the side of the creek, held the creek in the palm of his hand, and cleaned his face.
As soon as he left his forefoot, the back foot of the buddy boy also came out, sitting by the stream, resting his chin in one hand and thinking thoughtfully: "After I got rid of that demon cultivator last night, I searched everywhere for a place to stay, and I passed by a big river. Fish. I caught a few by the way, do you want to eat it?”
Lin Zhizhi, who was already tired of eating chicken, recited in his heart that I'm sorry x3, and nodded decisively to his friend.
Su Yu threw out a few lively fish from the Qiankun Ring, made a fire with familiarity, and took out his weapon to remove the scales—that was a high-grade spiritual tool specially created by the Su family's master craftsman. This kind of behavior that people and gods are angry with is basically like Feng Qin using the different fire of the Feng clan to roast chicken.
Jiyou's cooking skills have always been good. Earlier, when the two of them went to explore the strange land together, they were all prepared by Su Yu. Now it seems that there has been no retreat.
When it was cooked, Lin Zhizhi couldn't wait to grab the grilled fish with his hands and stuffed it into his hungry stomach.
Su Yu looked at him with a smile, very satisfied.
Being able to accompany him like this, compared to dominating the world, it would make him happy to cultivate and become an immortal.
Such a peaceful rest did not last long, but after a few hours, the lingering Sealer Demon Xiu reappeared in the sight of the two of them, bringing a gloomy wind: "I finally found you, this pair of Yuanyang - I want to see how you come to kill me? The barrier is a one-time consumption treasure, how many can you have to escape from me?"
Lin Zhizhi's old hatred, old and new, came to his heart, and he held the sword in his hand, and his initial thought was still to fight. But Su Yu coughed and grabbed him again: "I saved you yesterday and already suffered internal injuries, and your old injuries have not healed. If you fall into his hands again, I am afraid that you will die in the same year, the same month and the same day."
Listening to his words, Lin Zhizhi bit his lip, still hesitant.
"How sure are you that you can defeat him?"
"... This, about 30%?" Lin Zhizhi twisted his fingers in uncertainty.
"70% chance of death, know it, don't gamble." Su Yu advised.
If there was only the young master of the Lin family, he might choose to bet on the 30% chance. But the base friend around him was injured trying to save him, and the sound of coughing kept echoing in his ears. In the end, Lin Zhizhi could only choose to give up and escape together according to Su Yu's words.
Then - history is always strikingly similar.
It is difficult for the two disciples in the Qi refining stage to escape completely from the sealer.
There are too many tracking methods in the Foundation Establishment period.
Su Yu had found snakes and grasses with a strange fragrance on the two of them, and insects that could sense the direction... If they were dealt with, they would not be able to escape the pursuit of the sealer magic cultivator.
On the contrary, it was the first escape that caused the two of them to be injured again - most of them were Su Yu's injuries. Fortunately, Su Yu is smart, and he can avoid the crisis in a dangerous and dangerous way every time.
Lin Zhizhi followed behind with an immortal sword in his hand.
-Actually, if Lin Zhiyi were to fight against the sealer Mo Xiu, he would definitely be seriously injured and embarrassed, but he would not necessarily lose.
He is a genius of cultivation, and it is not difficult to challenge beyond the ranks. This kind of genius always needs to grow step by step at the juncture of life and death, when his life is on the line, before he can break through.
But Su Yu forcibly cut off this possibility.
He always interrupted Lin Zhizhi's thinking when he was about to go up to force a blood exchange, telling him not to do things he was not sure about, and to let him follow him and restrain him with friendship.
-Because compared to the battle that could still be killed, this is at least very safe, and there is basically no injury.
- Fighting against a magician of that level would bleed and hurt.
He was fine when he was there and could protect him, but when he wasn't there, did someone hurt him too
Su Yu couldn't sit back and watch his friend really suffer a little bit of damage in front of him. Just seeing the old wound on Lin Zhizhi's shoulder made him almost unable to hold back his desire to kill.
It's just the shoulders now, what then? Could it be the heart next time
In his plan, the friend should grow up safely and smoothly, and finally become a Taoist partner with him. There should be no possibility that Lin Zhizhi will die in this future.
He couldn't imagine what he would do if Lin Zhizhi really died somewhere he couldn't follow.
The real purpose of Su Yu's actions was to let Lin Zhizhi get used to being rescued by himself in the process of escaping all the time, obeying his own words, and cultivate back his childhood trust.
And instill in him the idea of not fighting to the death—Jianxiu is often like their weapon, going forward. But it is easy to break just now, and the road to immortality is not full of flowers, but full of blood and bones. He didn't want Lin Zhizhi to become one of the bones too.
What he hopes more is that his friends can rely on him as they did when they were young, hide behind him, regardless of the ups and downs of the outside world, and no one can separate them.
including death.
