Chapter 55: The Snowy Story
Obviously, Old Ghost Wu saw that I had this question, that is, the immortal tomb is in the sky? But he obviously didn't want to answer my question, so he drifted to the side, pretending not to see my searching gaze, and the only person here who knew the specific whereabouts of the immortal tomb was Wu Lao Ghost.
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 thin, you should choose a strong horse? ”
Xiaoxi said: "I sincerely want to cooperate with you, but I am not obsessed with success, people are much more complicated than us, what kind of character we are on the surface, but people are not, we can't see through!" Therefore, if there is a possibility of success, we don't want to be pawns in vain. ”
Xiaoxi's words are very clear, whether it can succeed depends on the will of God, it is willing not to succeed, and it is not willing to be pitted.
"What do you want?" Brother Chengxin stared at Xiaoxi and asked seriously, our Lao Li has never been greedy, but it doesn't mean that he won't guard against others' greed.
"What we want" Xiao Xi hesitated slightly, but soon his eyes were firm, and then said to us: "That fairy land, it is rumored that the fairy takes special care of us demon cultivators, and it is said that there are things we need, I don't know what it is, but this should not contradict what you want." ”
It is indeed not a contradiction, Chengxin took a long breath and said: "I have finished asking all the questions I want to ask, we can cooperate." However, after a long time, this sentence can also be understood as seeing the demon heart for a long time, and I also know that people don't say dark words, and it really depends on time to really trust each other. ”
"I think so." Xiaoxi did not object to Brother Chengxin's words.
The fish soup in the pot has been boiling for a long time, the fish is stewed and dissolved in the soup, and the rabbit roasted on the fire has begun to turn golden yellow, and the drops of hot oil drip into the fire, making a 'snort' sound.
We who have been hungry for a long time are not welcome, a bowl of fish soup per person, add a large piece of rabbit meat, and eat a mouth full of oil.
Although I ate deliciously, but I was worried about Ruxue in my heart, but Ruxue was much calmer, and while eating, I took out a handkerchief and wiped the oil from the corners of my mouth.
This tone has not changed, the cold temperament is in the bones, and it can't be changed, but it's a lot more 'affectionate' to me.
Xiaoxi and Xiaomao insisted on drinking only a bowl of fish soup, and said that they would not waste our food if they went to get food, after all, they had survived in the old forest for a long time, and it couldn't be easier to get something to eat.
However, I can see that Xiao Mao's eyes are so 'intoxicated' with human food, but because of Xiaoxi's control, he doesn't dare to be greedy.
Speaking of which, Xiaoxi is really a weasel who doesn't want to cause trouble, well, what a weasel!
Xiaoxi and Xiaomao went to find food and didn't return, but we finished eating, around the fire, I was still thinking about how to speak to Ruxue, Ruxue had already spoken first: "Everyone must be curious about my question, right?" ”
Everyone's eyes fell on Ruxue's body, and it was obvious that we were all worried and strange about her situation.
Ruxue held her cheek with one hand and said very calmly: "Actually, it's nothing special, it's just that as soon as I entered this forest, I always felt that there was something calling me in this forest, I couldn't tell, in short, it was like a call from the heart, from the soul." ”
Ruxue said this, I wondered in my heart, what kind of situation is this, so mysterious? But the firelight reflected Ruxue's face, and she had returned to her previous calm from her eyes to her expression, as if she had never existed at all in the panicked and fragile in the cave, just my hallucination.
I couldn't see anything, but Ruxue was still telling: "However, this situation is very vague, like sometimes you think that this call is real, sometimes you feel ethereal, it is simply your own illusion, so I have not said it until we unintentionally fell into that snow nest, after entering the cave, this call suddenly began to be strong, at first I didn't care, or I didn't want to say such a mysterious thing in shock, so I just waited and watched." ”
"And then?" I asked, but I couldn't help but feel a little bit like blaming Ruxue, why didn't you say it? Or is she scrupling about this thing too mysterious?
"Then, I entered the hole, which is the hole of the hole where the wall of the cave was gnawed, and at that time, the summoning suddenly became clear, and there were also inexplicable memories coming up, that is, I saw the pit and pit eye that was gnawed, and naturally knew that it was gnawed by black insects, and the next thing was very simple, that is, the call became clearer and clearer, and there were more and more memories that I naturally appeared." Ruxue said simply.
"What was the result? I didn't know what it was to summon Ruxue, but I thought hard for a while before I made it clear what I meant: "What is the purpose of summoning your existence?" ”
Ruxue didn't seem to hear my words, but fell into deep thought, and after a long time, she said, "Well, it's just that a senior should have been here, right?" I left something behind, and I just happened to meet it, so this explanation is reasonable. ”
Such an explanation is indeed reasonable, I can't think of anything unreasonable in my head, but in my heart I think it's really that simple? Do we think such a magical existence is as simple as snow?
However, I have a strong instinct that if the snow is not lying to me about anything, then what am I still thinking?
At this time, I have a kind of unreal interlacing, the light watch of the snow in the past five years, the sudden intimacy of the old forest Ruxue to me, the calm and calm of the snow, the helplessness and sadness of the snow, this feeling makes me unconsciously look at the snow and say seriously: "Ruxue, I believe that what you say is true, but is it true that things are only simple?" ”
Ruxue looked at me for a long time before she said, "What kind of complexity do you want to have?" It's nothing more than choosing whether to or not to have the worm left behind by the mysterious summoning, and that's really the essence of the matter. ”
I exhaled, and this time I really felt that Ruxue didn't lie to me, just as Ruxue said, so what else could there be? Am I concerned and confused, thinking too much?
Or is it really?
I glanced at Brother Chengxin, his mind was finer than mine, before this, Brother Chengxin had always frowned, and at this moment, Brother Chengxin's brows were also relaxed, and nodded at me, it seems that Brother Chengxin also thinks there is no problem.
My mood relaxed a little, and I always felt that something was wrong in my heart, and I pressed it down vividly.
After all, I thought back to Ruxue's words in my mind several times, and I didn't find anything to hide, the only thing that can be investigated is nothing more than what existence is summoning her, but this matter is the most unclear, just as I can't explain clearly, why can the ancestor invited by my Zhongmao technique communicate with me, and even last time, I also passed on the real 'pressure box' secret technique of my old Li Yimai - Soul Merger!
The night is getting deeper, Xiaoxi and Xiaomao are also back, what I didn't expect is that the demon wolf called Bai Grayer also came here with two or three wolf cubs, but in the end he was afraid of fire, just lying on his stomach far away, not close.
A cold moon hung in the sky.
Wu Lao Ghost went back to sleep in the soul raising jar, Xiao Xi hugged Xiao Mao and leaned on the tree to sleep, Bai Gray took its wolf cub and lay quietly not far away, Brother Chengxin took the tender fox and Lao Zhang into the tent to sleep, and Ruxue leaned on my shoulder, snuggled by the warm firelight, and slept quietly.
Humans, ghosts, demons, and beasts inexplicably slept together in such an ordinary night, and there was a quiet, faint warmth permeating the cold old forest.
Looking at the moonlight, I thought that such a night might be worth remembering.
But, this can't be kept, no matter what, tomorrow is a new day, a new day, we are still together.
Thinking of this, I actually smiled faintly, and my heart was at peace.
