Night quickly enveloped the earth, and no one knew how long it had passed. Xu Luo, who had been immersed in his own thoughts, suddenly woke up.
Jinu's cute little face was glaring at him full of anger, and she was holding Sha Qixi, who was obviously looking cheerful.
Xu Luo smiled sheepishly and called Sha Qixi to his side.
"Are you hungry? Let your slave sister show you her skills?"
Sha Qixi nodded obediently, and his stomach grumbled in response.
Xu Luo and Jinu looked at each other and smiled, Sha Qixi's face turned red, and he lowered his head shyly...
After eating and drinking, he sent his slave to pack his things. Xu Luo walked over and sat down next to Sha Qixi like a little adult staring at the river in the distance, wondering what he was thinking.
"Are you thinking about grandpa again?"
Sha Qixi nodded fiercely but did not shed any more tears.
"My grandpa said that our Sha family are all good men who would rather bleed than shed tears, so Qi Xi cannot cry anymore."
"Ambitious!"
Xu Luo hugged his thin shoulders with some distress.
"Brother believes that Qixi will become a great person no matter what he does in the future!"
Sha Qixi smiled shyly and pointed at the dark night sky in front of him.
"Brother, is this what Grandpa said when you are in darkness and your heart is toward the light? Even if your eyes are dark, the sun will rise from there in the end?"
Xu Luo nodded affirmatively, hesitated for a moment and then said in a deep voice.
"Yes, it will definitely happen!"
"One day, like my elder brother, I will become an exorcist and kill all the strange and vicious beasts in the world, so that grandpa..."
Sha Qixi murmured softly in his mouth, his voice gradually weakened and became inaudible, but as he spoke, his eyes began to sparkle again.
He raised his head violently, fearing that he would shed tears again. It was not until the worried slave came over that he was embarrassed to lower his head.
"Actually, I still want to cry for a while..."
Xu Luo was stunned for a moment, then laughed.
Jinu glared at him fiercely and hugged Sha Qixi in his arms, but then he couldn't help but laugh.
Sha Qixi looked at this, then that, and finally laughed with tears in his eyes.
Thinking of the longing in Sha Qixi's eyes just now, Xu Luo's heart moved, and he called his hand towards the green ox cart not far away, and a rough and small rattle appeared in his hand.
"Seven Breaths, big brother gives you something."
Sha Qixi took the rattle and was about to thank him, but suddenly he let out a startled cry.
"Hey, big brother, this rattle seems to be talking to me."
Xu Luo's eyes sharpened, but the sight he saw made him stunned.
As soon as the rattle, which was like a dead thing just now, fell into Qi Xi's hands, it immediately showed a faint gray light and swarmed towards his body in a flash.
Damn it, this is enlightenment!
At this moment, there was no time to think about why such a strange thing happened. Xu Luo waved his hand towards Jinnu, and touched Sha Qixi's eyebrows with a finger as fast as lightning.
Sha Qixi groaned and fell into Xu Luo's arms, but even so, he did not let go of the rattle in his hand.
The slave rushed into the carriage knowingly, and after a moment he rushed out with a lot of elixirs that could be taken directly, and even two big cucumbers.
These are most of Xiao Nizi’s collections!
That cucumber was the seed that Xu Luo got from the old couple Bingdi Gua. It only produced two seeds not long ago, and Xu Luo didn't even have time to taste it.
The green light in Xu Luo's hand flashed violently, and he instantly suppressed the gray light emitted by the rattle. We couldn't let this little thing mess around at this moment.
He first took out some less effective elixirs, turned them into juice and gave them to Qi Xi, and then worked step by step.
Moisturized by generous elixirs, and with the help of Wushengzhu to protect his mind, he forcibly transformed Sha Qixi's body, which was still an ordinary person's, into that of a novice cultivator.
Xu Luo is no longer the newbie he was then.
Logically speaking, if a practitioner wants to successfully open his spirit, he must have long-term mental communication with the accompanying creature, and only then can the breath fusion be possible.
This is also a process in which a practitioner’s body gradually transforms and adapts to spiritual energy!
For people like Sha Qixi, if Xu Luo was not around, either his mind could not bear the impact of spiritual objects and he would become a fool, or his spiritual energy would explode and he would die.
After a long while, Xu Luo let go of his palms, sweating profusely.
As the green light gradually faded, the rattle that had just shrunk like a quail quickly became active again.
The gray light surged towards Sha Qixi's body again, but this time it was obviously a little different. Every time it circulated, the gray light would lose a little bit.
Xu Luo finally let go of his worries, which proved that Sha Qixi's body had finally adapted to the spiritual energy under his influence.
Seeing that Ji Nu was still worried, Xu Luo took her little hand and squeezed it.
"Don't worry, it's a good thing. From today on, this child has officially become an exorcist!"
However, Jinu's expression did not change at all, and he still looked at Xu Luo full of doubts.
There is never any good thing that falls from the sky in this world. Even if it does happen, it will not be the turn of those poor people.
After Xu Luo came to his senses, he thought of the scholar who was obsessed with the rattle, Crowing Mountain, Changsheng Village, and the young soldier who had compassion but was cut in half.
What's more coincidental is that Sha Chenggong disappeared mysteriously in Akihabara...
From this point of view, Sha Chenggong was probably one of these soldiers back then, but the specific circumstances of that year were all dead. It would be difficult to find out the truth.
Hearing Xu Luo tell his guess, Ji Nu opened her mouth slightly, and after a long while, her pretty face was still full of disbelief.
"So, Qixi is still in the glory of his father?"
Xu Luo shook his head and smiled bitterly.
"It's possible. Who can say clearly about such a thing as chance encounter? I'm afraid no one will believe it if I tell it. There is no similar record in the library.
But no matter what, the rattle has become his companion.
Seven Breaths can be regarded as the end of all hardships. He has successfully attained enlightenment at such a young age, and his future prospects are indeed limitless."
Sha Qixi's awakening this time also lasted for an extra long time. He didn't wake up until the fiery red sun jumped out of the sky.
Seeing the familiar faces of Xu and Luo, the fear in his eyes slowly dissipated.
"Brother, what's wrong with me..."
When I heard that overnight, I had become the exorcist that I had been thinking about in the past, and the companion creature was the rattle I just accepted as a gift.
Sha Qixi was so dazed that he didn't come back to his senses for a long time.
When he woke up and wanted to share his joy with Xu Luo for the first time, only Jinu was left with him.
"Sister Jinu, where is big brother going?"
Ji Nu reluctantly gave him a comforting smile, and then looked towards the distant capital city.
"He goes to do what he should do. Let's wait here for him to come back. He will definitely come back..."
There has been quite a bit of turmoil in the capital city recently, and anyone with a slightly clearer mind can detect that something is wrong.
Not only is the entry and exit of the entire city strictly checked, but the huge pressure coming from the city wall from time to time can be distinguished by older people. It is clearly the murderous aura unique to the heavy weapon Thousand Oxen Crossbow.
The General's Mansion is even more heavily guarded. If a dog passes by, its hind legs will be spread open to see if it is a male or a female.
The Exorcism Department is exactly the other extreme. The already desolate station has its doors closed all day long.
If it weren't for the familiar boss Yan, who would come out to purchase supplies from time to time, everyone would have thought that the large exorcism department would have been empty.
Just as the people were gradually beginning to panic, the General's Mansion finally posted a notice.
I would like to inform all the people to be safe and calm. However, the patrol discovered traces of Jin spies in the direction of Xiaoshi City in Anmo Mountain. The elite cavalry of Zuoying have gone to clear up the enemy and will return to normal in the near future...
A group of about a hundred elite cavalrymen trotted along the straight road in the direction of Xiaoluo Gorge. The oncoming caravan habitually gave complimentary cheers to the cavalrymen.
However, these cavalry did not respond enthusiastically as usual. Apart from the clanking of hoofbeats, there was no other noise from the entire team.
The caravan gradually realized that something was wrong, and the cheers quickly turned silent.
Looking at this caravan that was obviously returning from the direction of Xiaoluo Gorge, a trace of pity flashed in the eyes of the leading cavalry colonel.
I hope you can still laugh when you return to Rock City.
The two silent teams walked towards each other, looking a little strange. No one noticed that a large ox cart that had been hanging at the end suddenly stopped.
No matter how long the queue was, it would be over. The captain finally saw the obviously abnormal green ox cart, which quickly overlapped with the pattern he had memorized in his mind.
His pupils shrank and he shouted sadly.
"Form up, the enemy..."
But it was still a little too late, and the cart stopped motionless like a dead thing.
But a cold white light suddenly exploded in front of the captain's eyes, and all the enemy attacks that he had not had time to shout out were blocked in his throat.
The talisman on his body erupted with a dazzling red light, but just as the red light spread rapidly across his body, a hand with sharp claws appeared out of thin air and kneaded the red light into pieces like dough.
The white light was as fast as lightning and followed closely behind, passing by the captain's neck.
The head rolled in the air, and the blood scattered all over the sky formed a frightening and beautiful pattern under the blazing sun.
Green light surged under Xu Luo's feet, and bits of blood spattered on his fair face. The red and white colors had a different kind of charm.
It wasn't until this moment that the cavalrymen who were stretched out in a long line on the straight realized their reaction.
"Form up!"
"enemy…"
"The big green ox cart is the evil star!"
…
There were screams one after another, and the cavalry, whose morale was originally low, suddenly scurried around like fish in a frying pan.
Oops, the scarlet candle flames swayed down from mid-air. Xu Luomu turned a little and slid into the chaotic crowd like a swimming fish.
All the knights within a ten-foot radius below the E-shaped lamp were stunned, their pupils were filled with bloodshot eyes, and they suddenly drew their swords and slashed at the robes beside them.
Xu Luo stretched out his fingers and flicked the hatchet in front of him.
The hatchet trembled and let out a deafening roar, turning into a cold stream of light and rushing into the crowd. Every time the white light suddenly appeared, it would bring out a cloud of blood mist.
Because this thing was so fast, the blood mist dragged out a long bloody dragon behind the blade.
