The next day.
In the haze of the desolate jungle, the mountainside looks like a fairyland towering into the clouds, hazy and gorgeous.
Looking down, there are many mountains.
A young man in black robes was walking through the dense forest. Behind him was a woman who was as cold as a millennium of ice. She could feel the bone-chilling chill from a few dozen meters away.
The woman's hair reaches her waist, like a waterfall falling from the sky.
But unexpectedly, there was a little girl with blue eyes in the woman's arms. All the bone-chilling coldness seemed to deliberately avoid the girl, and what was revealed around the girl was tenderness.
These three people are undoubtedly Qin Shi, Yu Luosha, and She Xi'er.
It has been three days since Qin Shi broke through to the late stage of Wang Ling Realm. This breakthrough made him feel that it was particularly smooth and a matter of course.
The power of Hun Kun in the body is swimming like a spiritual snake, eager to try.
In the evening, the three of them lit a bonfire and rested on the cliff. Qin Shi wrapped himself in a black robe and hugged Snake Xi'er. Snake Xi'er had been clinging to him since he broke through. Brother Shi was so long and Brother Shi was so cute.
Qin Shi raised his sleeve and lightly hung it on the bridge of Snake Xi'er's nose: "Xi'er, do you know where the secret passage out of the desolate jungle is?"
"Xi'er doesn't know. It's a forbidden area for the You clan. Only the clan leader and elders know about it." Snake Xi'er shook her head and said.
Qin Shi had expected this answer, but he still couldn't help but feel disappointed.
After that, he didn't ask any more questions. He just picked up Snake Xi'er and said gently: "Xi'er, how did you and your mother meet those bad guys?"
Snake Xi'er pouted and said a little disappointedly: "Not long ago, the fragrance of Holy Spirit Flowers was overflowing, and the clan leader sent my mother to the Peak Tianchi to check, that's why I met those bad guys."
Qin Shi frowned: "Holy Spirit Flower?"
"Xi'er, what did you just say?" But before Qin Shi could ask, the beautiful eyes of Jade Rakshasa beside her narrowed. She seemed to have heard something shocking and said, "The Holy Spirit Flower is about to bloom?"
"Well, the flowers have already formed."
"Hiss—" Jade Rakshasa took a breath of air, and a rare look appeared on his always cold pretty face: "It seems that the You clan is about to become powerful again?"
Seeing the strangeness of Jade Rakshasa, Qin Shi frowned and hesitated for a while, but finally asked. This was the first time he had spoken to Jade Rakshasa since the death of She Xier's mother. After all, he had forgiven her. : "What's going on with this Holy Spirit Flower?"
Jade Rakshasa did not respond, but stood silently with a low expression on her face. A bonfire reflected in the center of her eyes, reflecting a rare tenderness.
"The Holy Spirit Flower is a sacred object of the You clan."
Snake Xi'er, who was in Qin Shi's arms, raised her head and responded, "It's all my fault. If I hadn't pestered my mother to follow her and ultimately dragged her down, my mother's hand would have prevented her from being defeated by those evil people."
Hearing this, Qin Shi lowered his head sadly.
This is true. With the strength of Snake Xi'er's mother in the late stage of Wang Lingjing, coupled with the powerful physical body of the ancient ferocious beast, Qiu Ming and the others are no match for her.
But who can blame it
For this reason, he comforted Snake Xi'er with heartache and said: "Xi'er, be good. It's not your fault. She will protect you in Jiuquan. Please tell my brother where your home is, and he will send you home, okay?"
"Home?"
The smaller body trembled, Snake Xi'er's orchid eyes widened, and she shook her head: "Without my mother, Xi'er will have no home."
Qin Shi was stunned: "Huh? Where is your father?"
"Xi'er doesn't have a father... I heard from my mother that her father died for the You clan during the battle to capture the Holy Spirit Flower thirty years ago, so Xi'er pestered her mother to go and see the Holy Spirit Flower!" Snake Xi'er mentioned My father was a little disappointed, but most of all he was proud.
Qin Shi couldn't help being startled when he heard this, but before he could reply, Yu Luosha, who was silent under the fire, suddenly raised his head and said: "Xi'er, what did you just say? Your father died in the war thirty years ago. have to?"
"Yes, he is the great hero of the You clan!"
Jade Rakshasa's eyes flashed with surprise: "Is your father's name Snake-horned Dragon?"
She Xi'er was extremely surprised and said: "Sister, do you know my father?"
"really!"
Jade Rakshasa took a sharp breath of air, and his cold eyes became extremely serious.
Silently clenching her pink fists by the campfire, the thin firelight reflected on her pretty face, reflecting an imperceptible heaviness and sadness.
Her delicate face slightly raised her head and looked towards the night sky, her black eyes were silent as if they were about to penetrate the starry sky, and a sad aura enveloped everything.
In her distracted eyes, she raised the corner of her mouth mockingly and muttered silently: "Haha, Hua Ling, have you seen it? This is cause and effect, right? Fortune plays a trick on people, you never expected that I will be the one taking care of you thirty years later. His child, right?"
The ambiguous words made Qin Shiyun confused, and the abnormal appearance of Jade Rakshasa made him feel a little surprised, and said: "What on earth is going on??"
After hearing this, Jade Rakshasa gradually calmed down. He lowered his head and smiled bitterly: "Snake-horned dragon is the previous leader of the You clan."
"hiss-"
Qin Shi took a breath and glanced at his arms in disbelief. He didn't expect that little guy She Xi'er was actually of royal blood.
"What about the war thirty years ago?"
Qin Shi wrapped Snake Xi'er tightly in his black robe, spread his hands and said.
Mentioning what happened thirty years ago, Jade Rakshasa's delicate body couldn't help but tremble, as if she was in great pain.
But after a while of silence, she threw two branches into the bonfire: "When talking about what happened thirty years ago, we have to talk about the Holy Spirit Flower."
"The Holy Spirit Flower is a sixth-grade spiritual grass."
"Sixth-grade spiritual grass?" Qin Shi clicked his tongue. He knew a little about spiritual grass. I am afraid that such existence is rare in the entire Chiyan Empire, right
If word spreads, I am afraid that all the great powers in the five major regions will be involved.
"Yes, but the flowering season of the Holy Spirit Flower is very unique. It may not bloom once in a year, a hundred years, or even a thousand years."
"The most amazing thing is that every time the Holy Spirit Flower blooms, a powerful man will appear in the You Clan. Therefore, there is an unwritten rule in the You Clan that when the Holy Spirit Flower blooms, it is the day when the You Clan Chief gives way! "
The Jade Rakshasa raised his head and looked at the stars in the night sky with some depression. After a long time, he continued: "Whenever the Holy Spirit Flower blooms, the new clan leader will absorb the baptism of the Holy Spirit Flower, and then he can be regarded as the new king of the You clan."
"Is there such a thing?" Qin Shi asked in surprise.
Jade Rakshasa nodded lightly and said: "But thirty years ago, the Holy Spirit Flower bloomed due to the accumulation of evil spirits from the sky and the earth, but it didn't want anyone to break into Wuying Mountain to seize it. For this reason, the You clan fought with this person for three days. Three nights ago, the previous leader of the clan, Snake Horned Dragon, also died in the war, but even so, he still could not defeat this person, and the Holy Spirit Flower was taken away!"
Qin Shi, who was under the black robe, was suddenly startled. He stood up and said, "What? Can one person take away the Holy Spirit Flower against the entire You clan? Who is this person?"
"It's Hua Ling!"
"Hiss—" He gasped again. Although Qin Shi had known that Hua Ling was as good as heaven-defying, he never expected that he could be so defiant to this extent
How strong is this Hua Ling
Seizing Heaven Realm
Qitian realm? Or the Ascension Realm
Ignoring Qin Shi's astonishment, Jade Rakshasa said again: "Because the Holy Spirit Flower was robbed by Hua Ling, the current leader of the You Clan has not been baptized by the Holy Spirit Flower. He only exists in name only, so everyone in the You Clan is looking forward to it." Look forward to the next day when the Holy Spirit Flower blooms!"
"So that's it."
Qin Shi nodded seriously. It seems that this Holy Spirit Flower is not generally important to the You Clan.
After a moment of silence, he relaxed his brows and said, "So now that the Holy Spirit Flower is blooming again, does it mean that the You clan will soon change its clan leader?"
Under the cold and charming face of Jade Rakshasa, there was a slight struggle, and then he nodded mockingly: "Well, when it blooms, it's the day when the king changes!"
Understanding the whole story, Qin Shi didn't talk nonsense. He just nodded and handed Snake Xi'er to Jade Rakshasa. He roasted his hands by the campfire alone, got some food for Snake Xi'er, and swallowed it with Jade Rakshasa. After two life-extending fruits, he rested.
At midnight, Snake Xi'er was already asleep.
Next to the bonfire, Qin Shi sat cross-legged under an ancient pine. The spiritual power in the sea of consciousness shrouded the wind and grass in a radius of three kilometers.
Suddenly, a beautiful shadow appeared in the sea of consciousness, causing his dark and deep eyes to open, and he saw the Jade Rakshasa standing in front of him.
Seeing Jade Rakshasa, he moved to the side without surprise, took a picture of the spot where he had been sitting just now and motioned for Jade Rakshasa to sit down.
The two of them were sitting under the tree.
There was a moment of embarrassment, and no one spoke.
In the heavy atmosphere in the desolate cold wind, Jade Rakshasa finally couldn't help but take the lead and said: "Are you still blaming me?"
"Strange, but not angry anymore."
Qin Shi raised the corner of his mouth indifferently and put his hands on the grass behind him to prop himself up: "Seeing that you take good care of Xi'er, I guess her mother in heaven will also be happy, right?"
"I should make up for it, I owe her so much."
But Jade Rakshasa shook his head, showing rare tenderness and self-blame.
Qin Shi, with sharp eyes, could see something strange about Jade Rakshasa at a glance, and asked, "Have you and Xi'er's father known each other for a long time?"
Boom!
Jade Rakshasa's delicate body trembled, and her eyes showed rare fear, and she scolded: "I said, if you don't want to die, don't ask about my past, never ask about it!"
A bone-chilling cold current rolled up, and Qin Shi shuddered.
He looked at Jade Rakshasa's pretty face. Tens of thousands of years of time and vicissitudes seemed to have accumulated on her delicate cheeks. What had she experienced
"Sooner or later, I will let you tell me everything willingly!" Qin Shi said silently in his heart, but he really didn't ask.
He knew that he couldn't ask now, and it would only make Jade Rakshasa more vigilant in the end.
This girl has really been frozen for too long. It cannot be melted by a short period of heat. She needs to slowly use soft heat to make her feel the warmth of the world.
"The Holy Spirit Flower is in full bloom this time. What do you think?"
"Go and seize it!" Jade Rakshasa said with two short words: "In the You clan, seeing the Holy Spirit Flower is like seeing the Lord. As long as we can seize the Holy Spirit Flower, there must be a way for them to let them out of the secret passage they left."
Qin Shi nodded, he thought the same way.
Although he didn't want to go against the You clan, this was the only way to leave. It was considered a temporary measure.
The night sky looked a bit mysterious in the hazy miasma. Neither of them spoke since then, but they invariably raised their heads and looked at the stars.
boom!
Suddenly, the ground halfway up the mountain trembled violently. This tremor was so shocking that the birds in the forest flew away in fright, and smoke spread everywhere.
Qin Shi was shocked and supported Gu Song: "What's going on?"
The beautiful figure leaped gracefully, and after looking in the direction of the sound, the Jade Rakshasa's delicate body couldn't help trembling, and she stared at the foot of the mountain on the east side.
She saw that the position at the foot of the mountain was covered by the sky full of wolf smoke, which made her feel heavy: "It seems that someone has the same idea as us."
