Finally, she could see again, and the joy of regaining it was indescribable. Even this chaotic and gloomy wilderness, even this dilapidated log cabin, became vivid and lovely in her eyes.
Hugging the humming beast tightly in her arms, looking carefully at it, stroking its warm fur, and poking its soft pig nose, I have long wanted to know what it looks like that has been by her side forever, It turned out to be cuter than she imagined.
The humming beast crawled and crawled onto her shoulders, licking her face and her eyelids. Hua Qiangu felt her eyes were cold, and her heart ached when she recalled Tang Baolai. Although Dongfang is here, she is not worried at all, but she misses it so much, misses it sleeping in her ears, rolling in her hands, holding her nose and acting like a spoiled child... It has never been away from her side for so long, it always is with her...
"How old are you?" Zhuran asked. It was impossible for her to be twelve or thirteen years old with her previous cultivation. It should be that she stopped growing after becoming a fairy.
—It's almost twenty.
She wrote uncertainly, her expression became dazed, and she had actually stayed by his side for all these years.
Zhuran suddenly grabbed her hand and looked at it carefully. He didn't lose his immortal body, but he lost his mana because he was trapped in the wilderness. It is a matter of course that he is immortal. But now that she is a mortal, why hasn't her body resumed its natural growth? It's been several months since she's been here, and even her hair and nails haven't grown a centimeter
Hua Qiangu withdrew his hand somewhat uncomfortably.
—It was rumored that your whereabouts were unknown after you were expelled from the school, but it turned out that you were in the wilderness.
Zhuran smiled sinisterly and spookily: "That's natural. Although Mo Yan couldn't kill me, how could he allow me to live in the Six Realms."
Hua Qiangu is no longer interested in knowing the grievances between their master and apprentice. Anyway, they can't go out anymore, no matter what happens outside, it will have nothing to do with them in the future. It's just that she misses Qingshui, Dongfang and Shaqianmo, and she is even more worried about Tangbao and Xiaoyue...
— I still want to thank senior brother, if it wasn’t for you, I would have died long ago.
Zhuran sneered: "First, as I said, don't call me Senior Brother, just call me Zhuran. Second, I didn't save you, it was your own vitality that couldn't die no matter what, and this humming beast has been protect you."
—But I still want to thank you for taking me in.
"Do you know why I took you in?"
Hua Qiangu froze for a moment, not sure.
—Because you knew from the very beginning that I was also a disciple of Changliu Mountain...
Zhuran interrupted her: "Are you a disciple of Changliu Mountain? I saved you because I thought you were a bit unusual and might be useful to me in the future. Remember, I just want to use you, so don't treat me Thank you Dade, if you feel you owe me something, just pay me back in the future."
Hua Qiangu vaguely understood, but she didn't expect him to speak so directly, so she couldn't help being slightly stunned. From the first moment I saw him, I knew that he was not a decent person, but he was also frank. After clarifying the words in this way, she was relieved.
— you want to go out
"Hmph, I don't want to be trapped in this place forever. I still have unfulfilled ambitions and unrevenge. You have been here for so long, and you have suffered so much. Don't you want to leave?"
—Since my master expelled me, there must be his reasons. I have already felt sorry for him enough, and I don’t want to disobey my master’s orders anymore.
If Master really doesn't want to see her so much, then she should stay here forever. She lowered her head, ignoring the pain and slight suffocation in her heart.
Zhuran sneered disdainfully as if he had seen through her, "It's really interesting that you fell in love with Bai Zihua."
Hua Qiangu's body shook, she clenched her fists and lowered her head even lower. With the scars on my face, I am afraid that anyone who sees them can guess it. The master who has always regarded himself as his own, seeing that he was tortured by the unfeeling water, must have been disgusted by his love for him and his own face, so he drove himself to the wilderness in a fit of anger , don't want to see you again. Why should I go back and get in his way
"Blassuring the master and immoral, it's no wonder Bai Zihua is so angry. To be honest, you are really powerful. During the years of staying here, let alone anger, I basically never saw any expression appear on his face." Yes. Tsk tsk, what a pity, what a pity, I missed such a great scene. But even if it was his order, isn’t there someone else who made you want to go back and watch it?”
Yes, why not, Tang Bao and Dongfang, Luo Shiyi and Xuanyuan Lang, they are all still outside. Did they know that they had been banished to the wilderness? Will you be so anxious to death, asking around for your whereabouts? Will Master tell them about his expulsion from the wilderness, or will his existence be wiped out from now on like Zhuran
Thinking of Xiaoyue and Tangbao, I felt even more sad. She doesn't just have love, she also has responsibilities on her shoulders. Even if there is no master, there are still so many people who love her. She can't say leave so selfishly, she promised to protect Xiaoyue, how could she ignore him and let him be executed. He clearly did nothing wrong—
Her mind was full of twists and turns, she knew that she didn't want to stay here forever, she wanted to go back, she wanted to see Xiaoyue, Tangbao, Dongfang and the others, and she wanted to see Master one more time, even if he hated herself now.
Since he is not dead, one day he will go out alive to meet them...
Seeing that her eyes gradually brightened, Zhuran nodded slightly and smiled.
"Don't think too much about it. What you need to do most now is to get your body back to normal."
Hua Qiangu nodded, looked into the distance, and held Gongling tightly.
Zhuran opened a small field around the wooden house to grow some vegetables, and the most frequent thing he did was to work in the field. Sometimes I don't come back after going out for a day or two, with a tired look on my face, but I don't say where I went.
From time to time, the roar of monsters in the forest could be heard, Hua Qiangu was gradually able to walk on the ground, but she didn't dare to walk too far.
Her recovery speed is getting faster and faster, but those sword marks will not fade for a long time.
The longer I lived with Zhuran, the more I realized that he was not a simple person. Although he and Luo Shiyi came from the same teacher, his cultivation level was obviously much higher. Not only is he proficient in Qimen Dunjia, Yijing gossip, he also knows the sword skills and strengths and weaknesses of various immortal schools. Piano, chess, calligraphy, painting, medicine and the art of war are all proficient. He also knows all the forbidden techniques of Changliu Mountain that she secretly learned. After decades of exile in the wild, he never slacked off for a day, and his swordsmanship and so on have reached perfection.
She didn't dare to imagine that if she had been trapped in this deep mountain and old forest all these years, without any hope of leaving, without even someone to talk to, she would be lonely and panic, desperate and numb to the point of going crazy or committing suicide.
It's just Zhuran, he is quietly waiting for an opportunity to lurk and prepare, silent like a ghost in the dark night, his patience is scary.
Half a year has passed in the wilderness, Hua Qiangu's body has returned to normal, Zhuran is not around, so she occasionally practices swords by herself, and occasionally weeds in the field. The cabin leaked when it rained, so she climbed up to the roof and repaired it again, patched the holes in the wall, and planted flowers around the cabin.
The humming beast was always making troubles, scurrying around, knocking over the small wooden barrels or trampling the young seedlings, and even ate the flowers and the small wooden shovel she had just planted. Hua Qiangu angrily shook its little pig's trotters, and finally shook the shovel out of its mouth again. After scraping its nose and repairing it severely, the Henching Beast finally learned its lesson. Ba da ba da's hind legs help Hua Qiangu dig the hole and fill the soil, or else he will piss here and there to help her fertilize.
Unexpectedly, the plants here not only grow at an astonishing speed, but also mutate rapidly. When Hua Qiangu was weeding, he was actually bitten by a wild rose that just had a bud.
A drop of blood dripped, and Hua Qiangu reflexively stretched out his other hand to catch it but failed to catch it. It fell into the soil. Immediately, a large piece of rose began to writhe and struggle in pain as if alive, and let out a scream similar to The creaking sound gave Hua Qiangu goosebumps all over his body.
Large pieces of stems and leaves twitched and fell down. Although they didn't turn yellow instantly like before, they were still dead.
Hua Qiangu lowered her head and looked at her hand bitten by Hua, because the wound was relatively small, it slowly closed at a speed she could see, leaving only a faint scar in the end. For a moment she panicked.
The longer the time, not only the body, but also the vicious physique that attracts ghosts and ghosts is recovering. However, in the past, such things as healing without medicine have never happened. She thought that she could still survive after being nailed with the soul nail, being hit by so many swords, being tortured by water in the Sansheng Pond, and being exiled as a mortal to the wilderness to suffer so much torture, because she met the humming beast and Zhuran .
Now that I think about it, it doesn't look like a fluke. My body is not a fairy, but why is it still immortal? It's just like a monster.
The Humming Beast rubbed against her feet, thinking that she was sad for being bitten by the flower that he took good care of, so it jumped onto the flower branch as if to avenge you, trampled, jumped and rolled, humming, look I crush them.
When Hua Qiangu came back to his senses, he found that the ground was empty, and the Humming Beast was lying on the side, hiccupping, patting its swollen belly with its calf. It ate all the branches, leaves and rhizomes of the flowers in one go, not even a single grass was spared.
Hua Qiangu looked at the bare and gnawed yard, chasing the Humming Beast's house, wanting to kick it like a ball.
Zhuran slowly came out from behind the tree, looked at Hua Qiangu, and slowly narrowed his eyes.
The sky dimmed, it should be night, Hua Qiangu was sleeping soundly holding the humming beast that looked like a small stove. Suddenly, I felt a small thing in my arms moving non-stop.
- Don't kick the quilt!
Pressing it firmly, suddenly felt that something was wrong, and when he opened his eyes, he found that Zhuran was standing by the bed and looking at him.
What does he want to do
The humming beast poked its head out from under the quilt, when Zhuran suddenly and swiftly hit it hard between its eyebrows, the humming beast tilted its head, and continued to sleep soundly.
Hua Qiangu shakes the humming beast, looks at Zhuran in puzzlement but full of defense,
"Take off your clothes." In the dark cabin, Zhuran's eyes were as bright as amber, like a tiger staring at its prey. Those eyes were the same as Mo Yan's, and more ruthless.
Hua Qiangu crossed her arms and thought about the humiliation she had suffered before. Although she has not grown up yet, she is not young, how could she not feel embarrassed when she is naked in front of others.
"Take off your clothes." Zhuran repeated again impatiently, looking at her defensive eyes, as if he was going to do something to her, even if he came to the wilderness for many years, he still wouldn't look for something like her The girl came to relieve the fire.
Regardless of her kicking and beating, he pulled a rope and tied her to the head of the bed, and stripped off her clothes that he had made into his own robe. Although rude but still careful, he pulled a corner of the quilt to cover her private parts.
Then rummaged from behind her ears to her neck, from her toes to her ankles, from her chest to her back. Hua Qiangu yelled that she couldn't do it, so she could only whine in protest.
There were too many scars on her body, densely packed and scary, it actually hurt his eyes slightly. He frowned in disdain, hating himself for even a moment of softening his heart. She never thought that one day, he would crawl at her feet humbly.
After searching carefully for a long time, he finally found the small imprint of the last seal in the hard-to-find position under her right armpit, as he had expected, a little bit in size, with blood-red coquettish complex patterns, At first glance, I thought it was a cinnabar mole.
Zhuran's brows frowned even deeper. He knew that there was something weird in her body, but he never expected that Bai Zihua would perform such a high-level sealing technique on her. He has only seen this kind of mark once in an ancient book. Once the sealer implements it, he will often take his own life. Even Bai Zihua, who claims to be the highest cultivation in the fairy world, will definitely be greatly injured.
What kind of monster did he seal in her body? No wonder she was injured to the extreme again and again but couldn't die no matter what.
The doubts deepened, what happened to Bai Zihua and her? If you regard her as a serious problem, why not just find a way to kill her, why would you rather compromise yourself to implement this kind of seal? If he wanted to protect her, why did he have to do so viciously, let her suffer this kind of crime, and finally be driven to the wilderness? Or was it already predicted that she would not die, and deliberately acted for others
Zhuran clenched his fists, feeling slightly angry. Bai Zihua, why can't he guess him? During the years he was away, what happened outside
But what is certain is that if he can leave, Hua Qiangu will be his god-sent opportunity.
"Get up!" Zhuran untied the rope and threw the clothes back on her.
Hua Qiangu raised her right arm to see what Zhuran was looking at just now, but her neck was too short no matter how hard she tried. Turning his back, he was rudely dragged out by Zhuran before finishing his clothes.
What the hell is he doing? If you want to drive her away, let her take the humming beast first.
Hua Qiangu had just recovered from a serious injury, and her movements were a bit clumsy, she couldn't keep up with his pace, she was dragged away by his collar.
The forest was extremely dark, and some strange and terrifying birds and beasts neighed from time to time in the distance. Zhuran was dragging her with his right hand and a dagger in his left. As soon as a man-eating flower and vine approached, he chopped it down fiercely, and the juice sprayed Hua Qiangu's face like fresh blood.
After walking for about one stick of incense, Hua Qiangu's usual range of activities had already been exceeded, she was far away from the hut, without the protection of the formation, the surrounding bushes were stalking, and all kinds of monsters were spying on her in the dark. But he was afraid of the knife in Zhuran's hand and didn't dare to get too close. The farther you go, the more you follow. Hua Qiangu faintly heard the greedy panting like a beast, looked around anxiously, and couldn't help but tightly grasped Zhuran's skirt.
No matter how much Zhuran was doing, she still walked forward quickly. Suddenly, Hua Qiangu couldn't move, no matter how much she dragged, she turned around and saw that her legs and feet were all entangled by vines, so she turned around and cut off the vines on her body. , keep going.
Where is he going to take her
After walking for an unknown amount of time, Zhuran finally stopped, and Hua Qiangu heard the wind whistling, making her shiver from the cold.
There is a cliff in front of me, and the bottom is dark, and I don't know how deep it is.
What is he doing here? Hua Qiangu looked at him suspiciously, waiting for him to give an explanation. Unexpectedly, Zhuran stretched out his hand suddenly and pushed her down from the cliff with a light push.
Hua Qiangu's eyes widened in horror, and she reflexively reached out to grab his clothes but didn't catch them, only grabbed the stone on the edge of the cliff.
Zhuran took two steps closer, bent down, and looked at her with a smile, which made her feel cold to the bone.
Then he ruthlessly stepped on her hand, Hua Qiangu frowned in pain, fell halfway into the air as if his body was about to fall apart, couldn't take it any longer, finally let go of her hand slowly, Fell off a cliff.
