Apparently Wu Laogui saw that I had this question, that is, is the immortal's tomb in the sky? But he obviously didn't want to answer my question, so he drifted aside and pretended not to see my probing eyes. The only one here who knew the specific whereabouts of the Immortal Tomb was Old Ghost Wu.
But before I could say more, Brother Chengxin spoke again: "Even if we are good people, why do you insist on choosing good people? This kind of thing should be based on strength, right? We are small and weak. You should choose strong soldiers and horses, right?"
Xiao Xi said: "I sincerely want to cooperate with you, but I am not obsessed with success. People are much more complicated than us. Our personalities are superficial, but people are not. We can't see Tooru! So, if there is a possibility of success, we don’t want to be pawns in vain.”
Xiao Xi's words are very clear. Whether it can succeed depends on God's will. It just doesn't want to succeed and doesn't want to be cheated.
"What do you want?" Brother Chengxin looked at Xiao Xi and asked seriously. We, Lao Li, have never been greedy, but that doesn't mean we won't guard against others being greedy, and turn against each other and stab each other in the back because of these two words. Can we omit the example of a knife
"What we want..." Xiao Xi hesitated for a moment, but soon his eyes became firm, and then he said to us: "In that fairy land, it is said that the gods take special care of us demon cultivators. I don’t know exactly what we need, but it shouldn’t be inconsistent with what you want.”
It is indeed not a contradiction. Chengxin took a long breath and said: "I have asked all the questions I want to ask. We can cooperate. But as time goes by, people's hearts will be revealed. This sentence can also be understood as time will see the demon's heart. I also understand that people don’t tell secrets, and it takes time for us to truly trust each other.”
"I think so." Xiao Xi did not object to Brother Chengxin's words.
The fish soup in the pot has been boiling for a long time. The fish meat has been stewed thoroughly and melted into the soup. The rabbit roasted on the fire has also begun to turn golden. Drops of hot oil dripped into the fire, making a "chichichi" sound. ' sound.
We were not polite after being hungry for a long time. Each of us had a bowl of fish soup with a large piece of rabbit meat, and our mouths were full of oil.
Although I ate deliciously, I was worried about Ruxue in my heart. On the other hand, Ruxue was much calmer. While eating, he took out his handkerchief and wiped the oil from the corner of my mouth.
This tone has not changed. His cold temperament is deep in his bones and cannot be changed, but he has become much more 'affectionate' with me.
Xiao Xi and Xiao Mao insisted on only drinking a bowl of fish soup, and said that they would get food by themselves and would not waste our food. After all, they have lived in the old forest for a long time, and it was easy to get some food.
However, I could see in the eyes of the extreme-tempered Xiao Mao that he was so 'indulged' in human food, but due to Xiao Xi's control, he did not dare to be greedy.
Speaking of which, Xiaoxi is really a weasel who doesn't want to cause trouble to others. Well, what a weasel!
Xiaoxi and Xiaomao went to find something to eat but didn't return, but we finished eating. We were sitting around the fire, and I was still thinking about how to speak to Ruxue, but Ruxue had already spoken first: "You must be very curious about my question, right?" "
Everyone's eyes fell on Ruxue. Obviously, we were all worried and strange about her condition.
Ruxue held her chin with one hand and said calmly: "Actually, it's nothing special. As soon as I entered this forest, I always felt that something was calling me in this forest. I also said I don’t know, but it’s like a call from the heart, from the soul.”
As Ruxue said this, I was wondering, what kind of situation is this, so mysterious? But the firelight illuminated Ruxue's face, and her eyes and expression had returned to their previous calmness, as if the panicked and fragile woman in the cave had never existed at all, and was just my illusion.
I couldn't see anything, but Ruxue still kept saying: "However, this situation is very vague, just like sometimes you feel that this kind of call really exists, and sometimes you feel that it is ethereal and void. It is simply your own illusion, so I didn't say anything until we accidentally fell into the snow cave. After entering the cave, the call suddenly became stronger. I didn't pay attention to it at first, or I didn't want to be surprised. He said such mysterious things, so I just waited and waited."
"Then what?" I asked, but I couldn't help but want to blame Ruxue. Why didn't I say it? Or is she worried that this matter is too mysterious
"Then, I entered the hole, which was a hole with gnawed holes on the wall. At that time, the summons suddenly became clear, and an inexplicable memory came up. It was the hole that I saw that was gnawed by holes. , I naturally knew that it was eaten by black insects, and what happened next was also very simple, that is, the summons became clearer and clearer, and more and more memories naturally appeared in me." Ruxue said simply.
"Then what is the result? The one who summoned you..." I didn't know what it was that summoned Ruxue. I thought hard for a while before I made my meaning clear: "Then what is the purpose of summoning your existence?"
Ruxue didn't seem to hear my words, but fell into deep thought. After a long time, she said: "Well, there should be a senior who has been here, right? He left some things behind, just in time for me to meet him, so The explanation is reasonable."
This explanation is indeed reasonable. I can't think of anything unreasonable even if I try hard to think of it, but in my heart I feel like is it really that simple? We think such a magical existence, Ruxue just finished describing it so simply
However, I have a strong intuition that Ruxue did not lie to me, so what am I still thinking about
At this moment, I had an unreal connection between Ruxue's calm watch over the past five years, Ruxue's sudden intimacy with me in the old forest, Ruxue's calmness and calmness, and Ruxue's helplessness and sorrow. This feeling made me Unconsciously, she looked at Ruxue and said seriously: "Ruxue, I believe what you said is true, but are things really only simple?"
Ruxue looked at me for a long time before saying: "How complicated do you want it to be? It's just a matter of choosing whether to want or not to have the insects left behind by the mysterious summons. That's really the essence of the matter."
I let out a breath, and this time I really felt that Ruxue didn't lie to me. Just like Ruxue said, what else could there be? If I care, I will be confused. Do I think too much
Or really
I glanced at Brother Chengxin. He was more thoughtful than me. Before this, Brother Chengxin had always frowned. Now I saw that Brother Chengxin’s brows relaxed and he nodded to me. It seems that Brother Chengxin also thinks there is no problem.
I felt a little more relaxed, and I suppressed the feeling that something was wrong deep down in my heart.
After all, I have thought over Ruxue's words in my mind several times, and I haven't found anything to hide. The only thing that can be investigated is what kind of existence is calling her, but this matter is the most unclear to explain. If I can't explain it clearly, why can the master invited by me in Mao Zhijutsu communicate with me? Even the last time, he mysteriously and mysteriously passed on the real 'pressing box' secret technique of my lineage, Lao Li - He soul!
The night gradually got deeper, Xiao Xi and Xiao Mao also came back. What I didn't expect was that the demon wolf named Bai Huier also came here with two or three wolf cubs. But after all, he was afraid of fire, but it was just far away. Lying far away, not close.
A cold moon hung in the sky.
Old Ghost Wu went back to sleep in the soul-rearing jar, Xiao Xi hugged Xiao Mao and fell asleep against the tree, Bai Hui'er and his wolf cub were lying down quietly not far away, and Brother Chengxin took the young fox with him. Lao Zhang and I went into the tent to sleep, while Ruxue leaned on my shoulder, nestled against the warm firelight, and slept quietly.
People, ghosts, monsters and beasts slept together inexplicably peacefully on such an ordinary night, and there was a quiet and faint warmth that filled the cold old forest.
Looking at the moonlight, I was thinking that such a night might be worth remembering.
But, this cannot be kept, no matter what, tomorrow is a new day, a new day, we are still together.
Thinking about this, I actually smiled lightly, feeling at ease in my heart.
