After meeting Mr. He, although Ouyang Xueye seemed calm on the surface, in fact, he was already turbulent in his heart. At the moment when his life ended, he once thought that all the grievances and grievances he had during his life would disappear with the wind, and he would no longer have anything to do with the demon world and the human world. Even if he was still unwilling in his heart, it was powerless and powerless. But this is not the case. Qingyun's power has been extending to the realm of soul separation and even the boundless heaven. This seems to indicate that his ambition to cover the sky with one hand is still spreading.
That day, he also asked Mr. He a lot about white bats. Based on their characteristics of being good at flying and like to act in groups, Ouyang Xueye felt that it would be more appropriate to use bows and arrows instead of using knives to fight them.
In fact, Xia Qiu's sword skills were not as bad as he said in his eyes. Ouyang Yong, Ouyang Hongye, and even Wangyue had laid a good foundation for her. The reason why she was so completely defeated in the fight with Ouyang Xueye was because of her lack of experience and because of her psychological factors. She always struggled with the fact that her time was limited, so she was too eager for success, but the more she was like this, the less she could improve. Ouyang Xueye always believes that as long as she can make a little progress every day, she will have one more chance for miracles to happen at critical moments.
On the other hand, all signs indicate that the Lord of the Infinite Heaven Realm is extremely suspicious, and his sudden change is by no means groundless. And he probably knows what happened to Xia Qiu on Bauhinia Island. The reason why he has not taken any action against her until now is probably because he is afraid of Ouyang Xueye's power, so he must always guard her. to ensure his safety.
The bow he has for Xia Qiu is twice as heavy as the ordinary one, and the bow string is also more difficult to pull. The range has been increased from the normal seventy meters to one hundred and fifty meters, because the resistance of the wind must be taken into consideration at high altitudes. factors, and weight training like this will definitely help improve stability.
Xia Qiu first started practicing with the most basic parallel stance. Due to the weight of this special bow, it was very difficult for her to firmly connect the bow grip, forearm and hand in a straight line at the beginning. She stood under the low sun, her eyes already blinded by the sunlight, but this time Ouyang Xueye felt unusually happy. When she came up, she tried to shoot the white arrow towards the red bullseye in the distance.
"Don't hesitate. I just taught you the basic aiming method. Let's try shooting an arrow first!" Ouyang Xueye urged when he saw that she was still unwilling to let go of the hand holding the bowstring.
Xia Qiu had no choice but to take aim for the last time. He gritted his teeth and let go of his hand. The arrow flew out of the string and missed the target.
"Not bad! Just a little bit off!" Ouyang Xueye praised from the side.
Even for mortals, self-confidence is extremely important when shooting arrows, and this is even more true in the infinite heaven. Strong spiritual power can even control the arrows to go straight to the target. This was the first time Xia Qiu was praised by him since she came to this world. She thought it was really because of her talent in archery, so the second time she aimed and released the arrow, she was much more decisive than before, although she only shot in the target area. The target was in a relatively remote place, but she couldn't help but feel a little proud.
"Try to concentrate as much as possible and imagine that the arrow you shoot is heading straight for the red heart." Ouyang Xueye continued to encourage him.
She concentrated and held her breath, started imagining as Ouyang Xueye said, and focused all her energy on the feathered arrow. Sure enough, this time the arrow left the string, it felt completely different from the previous one, and it hit the target right to the ground. The red heart on it was inserted into it and made a buzzing vibrating sound.
Because the special bow is too heavy, after a morning of training, although Xia Qiu's accuracy has been greatly improved, the fatigue is also obvious. She thought she could rest in the afternoon, but Ouyang Xueye had a sudden idea and asked her to take a nap before starting to practice horseback riding and archery.
Perhaps because it was still daytime, Xia Qiu couldn't fall asleep even though she was physically exhausted. In the past few days, Xiaolibai often flies out alone early in the morning, and then disappears all day long. She only returns to Ziyunju when she goes to bed at night. Because she is busy with various trainings, she doesn’t pay much attention to it. every move.
She thought that maybe Xiaoli Bai had made some new friends on Bauhinia Island, so she wasn't as attached to her as she was before coming here. Ever since she communicated with Ouyang Xiaoleng that day, she has been waiting to hear his voice again. Whenever she was alone, she would look forward to it, but then she thought that he should be busy looking for the origin of the blood pool. matter.
When her heart was empty, a voice sounded in her ears like a hallucination.
"A psychic must understand reason first, and then he who understands reason can create something out of nothing... He will not be anxious or dry, he will have a strong soul and body, and he will not be invaded by outsiders... "
She was feeling strange when she suddenly realized that these were the words in the book Ouyang Xueye asked her to copy. When she copied it, she was like a machine. She felt that she didn't understand the meaning, so she didn't think about it. Now that she carefully considered the meaning, she seemed to have some insights.
The creation out of nothing mentioned in that book should be the ability of demons to summon weapons out of thin air. Originally, Xia Qiu could only transform the plum blade from the form of a plum blossom hairpin to the form of a knife, but Ouyang Xiaoleng and Ouyang Hongye were different. Their weapons could be summoned out of thin air without taking any form. In the Red Palace in the underground city, although the plum blade was missing when she was in a coma, she used her spiritual power to get it back into her hands.
The book said that she was not anxious or dry, which was exactly what she lacked after coming to the Infinite Heaven. In fact, her character was calm and thoughtful, but she couldn't calm down since she arrived here. She cared too much about the forty-nine days, which instead became a hindrance and a heavy burden for her progress. She even doubted whether the training arranged by Ouyang Xueye would really work.
Now that I think about it, only by forgetting the time limit and putting aside the fear of death can I truly fully devote myself to training and give it a try. As if suddenly, she had an idea, and all the other words in the book were easily understood. She must make her soul power stronger again.
Unknowingly, she began to try to recall the feeling when she summoned the plum blade out of thin air that day, and kept trying to communicate with the plum blade in her heart. But after trying for a long time, she still failed, and she fell asleep in a daze.
She had a dream, which was the first dream she had after coming to the Infinite Heaven. In the dream, she was standing on the hillside of a mountain. It was snowing heavily in the sky, and the snow on the ground was already very thick. Her bare feet were so cold that she lost consciousness, but she couldn't help but run towards the mountain. A voice in her subconscious told her that someone was waiting for her on the other side of the mountain.
When she finally climbed over the mountain peak, she could no longer walk any further. She fell down under a plum tree, leaning against the trunk and panting. She tried to wrap her thin clothes tighter, but failed. Still can't stop the biting cold wind. When she was helpless, she looked up at the other side of the tree, where a large piece of translucent ice stood. She persisted and walked to the piece of ice and pushed away the snow on it with her hands, only to see a long black knife inside.
"Mei Ren..."
She couldn't help shouting, and kept hitting the ice with her hands, trying to smash it to take out the plum blade, but until blood flowed from both fists, not even a crack appeared on the fast ice. Fatigue, coldness and despair intertwined, making her weaker and weaker, and she couldn't help but collapse to her knees.
Suddenly the light above her head was blocked by a black shadow. She looked up and saw that it was a huge monster. The monster was about two meters long and was all white except for a tuft of red hair at the top of its two long ears. Its head is like a wolf, with long fangs sticking out, its body is like a tiger, and its wings are five meters long when spread out.
It circled around Xia Qiu's head for a few times, and then swooped down at her. She was too weak to resist or dodge, so she simply closed her eyes. I heard a clicking sound in my ears, and when I opened my eyes again, I saw the monster inserting the sharp nails on its two front paws into the ice that froze the plum blade, and then flew upwards with all its strength, After flying a certain distance, he dropped it to the ground with great force.
The ice cubes smashed into pieces on the ground not far away, and the plum blade was lying there quietly. Xia Qiu didn't care about why the monster helped her, so she ran towards the plum blade and took it Hold it in your hands, hold it in your arms, and wrap it with your body.
The huge white monster descended from the sky to her side again, clinging to her with his body to block the wind and snow. She stretched out a hand to touch the monster, but found that the touch on her hand was very special. familiar.
"Libai, are you Libai?"
She asked. Although she didn't know why Li Bai, who was originally the size of a rabbit, suddenly turned into such a huge monster, she still recognized it because its eyes had not changed at all and were still as innocent and cute. She fell asleep with its warmth, but also woke up from her dream. Little Libai came back at some point, and really snuggled next to her and fell asleep soundly.
"Fortunately, you are still so small and cute!" She half-stretched her body with one arm and stroked it.
But the hand supporting her body was frozen by something. The plum blade was there, even with a layer of frost on it. She couldn't believe her eyes, so she picked it up and held it tightly, calling in her heart. Pick it up.
"Mei Ren, Mei Ren, can you hear me?"
"Yes, my master." Mei Ren quickly replied to her.
Hearing her voice again made Xia Qiu excited. She held the plum blade in her hand and looked at it over and over again but couldn't bear to put it down. Then she suddenly remembered that she should tell Ouyang Xueye the good news immediately so that she could call it out again. It must be the effect of the book he asked himself to copy. But what does it mean in the dream that Xiaolibai will turn into such a monster? She thought maybe Ouyang Xueye could give her the answer.
Ouyang Xueye was on the platform repairing the broken arrows that Xia Qiu had used in the morning. He thought it was time to ask the Elk Fairy to wake her up, but to his surprise, she ran down the stairs on her own. She came to him, holding Xiao Libai in one hand, and holding the plum blade in the other and waving at him.
"It's faster than I thought. It seems that someone helped you!" Ouyang Xueye said with a smile.
"I seemed to understand the meaning of the words in the book you asked me to copy, and then I had a strange dream. In the dream, Little Libai turned into a very big monster, and it was it that helped me get the Returned to Mei Ren." After Xia Qiu finished speaking, he looked tentatively at Ouyang Xueye, and it could be seen from his eyes that he was not surprised by his dream.
"I have long said that Qilin Rabbits are only born in the realm of Soul Lift. Those who can enter the Soul Lift Realm are those with very strong soul power, and Qilin Rabbits are born precisely because of these soul powers. They absorb enough With strong spiritual power, you will have the ability to change and take on another form, which should look like the monster you saw in your dream. I think this little guy should have eaten it secretly after he came to the infinite heaven. Lots of redbud elk antlers flowers!"
Ouyang Xueye said this, but he was secretly happy in his heart, because he had found the best mount for Xia Qiu to fight against the white bats. The flowers on the redbud elk antlers were not eaten by it at all, but were deliberately fed to them. Yes, this person is Ouyang Xueye himself!
