"Who is there?" Just as the figures of several people walked away, Lu Xiao suddenly shouted loudly, moved his body, and instantly blocked Meng Zirou's body behind him. A ball of light sprouted out of the palm of his right hand, and his eyes were fierce.
Staring at the corner.
A red sword appeared out of thin air, and immediately transformed into a handsome young man in silver. His red hair fell softly on his shoulders, and he knelt on the ground on one knee: "It's me, the Great Protector."
Looking carefully at the man in front of him, Lu Xiao couldn't help but frown: "Chi Lian, why are you here?"
——"I met the young master by chance at Lingshixuan today, so I followed him. There were too many people just now, so I didn't dare to show up."
"Chi Lian? Are you the sword that protected me today?" Meng Zirou asked in surprise.
——"Yes, it is Chi Lian's duty to protect the young master. Moreover, hundreds of years ago, Chi Lian was already the young master's weapon."
——"You call me young master? Then you must know my past. Who is your master? What is his relationship with me?"
Meng Zirou almost blurted out a series of questions. She wanted to know her past so much because she was fed up with being alone and helpless. She really wanted to find her relatives, even those from her previous life.
But every time she asked Lu Xiao, he would always respond with "I don't know, I don't know". Now that someone finally knew her identity, how could she not be excited?
"This------" Sensing the violence in Lu Xiao's eyes, Chi Lian hesitantly spoke, "Chi Lian was only ordered to protect the young master. He doesn't know anything else."
"Then whose order are you following?" Meng Zirou asked unwillingly without noticing the strange look in Lu Xiao's eyes.
"Master won't let me tell you!" Lowering his head, Chi Lian didn't dare to look into those disappointed eyes.
For so many years, the person she had missed day and night finally stood in front of her. But she had already been accompanied by a strong man, and she was just a ray of sword soul, so what could she expect.
"Okay, Rou'er. Don't think about the past." Seeing Meng Zirou's expression of loneliness and silence, Lu Xiao promptly changed the subject: "What happened today? Why did Chi Lian want to protect you?
?Who is the God of Plague that Xian Yin mentioned just now?"
Only then did Meng Zirou speak as if waking up from a dream, and briefly recounted what happened during the day.
Lu Xiao nodded, turned to look at Chi Lian, and said coldly: "You can go, Rou'er doesn't know martial arts in this life, and she doesn't know how to use a sword."
Chi Lian was shocked. Just when he was about to speak, Meng Zirou said first, "Lu Xiao, don't let him go. This is exactly what I want to tell you, I want to practice martial arts."
Meng Zirou was not surprised by Lu Xiao's surprised look, and continued to say in a calm and steady manner: "I will defeat Han Ji in the blood stone ring and take her place."
"Do you want to be the third protector of the demon world?" Lu Xiao frowned and looked at her in disbelief. Whether it was Meng Zirou more than three hundred years ago or Lin Yuwei who was reborn as a human being, they were both gentle and simple, unconcerned with the world.
How could a person have such thoughts of striving for fame and fortune?
"Yes!" These simple words clearly expressed Meng Zirou's inner determination.
"I can help you, but can you tell me why?" Lu Xiao relaxed his brows and seemed to understand Meng Zirou's thoughts, but he still asked.
——"Because I want to protect myself and the people around me. I don't want to watch the person I love fall in front of me again, and I can only stand aside and do nothing. Han Ji is right, the demon world is a place that relies on strength to survive.
Since I have become possessed, I must abide by the rules of this game."
——"I can protect you, Rou'er. As long as I'm here, no one will hurt you again."
The familiar words were like thorns, cutting hard through Meng Zirou's scarred heart.
Once upon a time, Zhuang Yan sat face to face with him like this, and made an affectionate promise to protect him for the rest of his life. But now he could only face each other with swords, fighting for life and death. The pain was like a lifetime ago, and Meng Zirou's face instantly turned pale, and she could no longer say anything.
One sentence.
"Rou'er, what's wrong with you? Are you feeling uncomfortable again?" Lu Xiao couldn't help but become nervous when he noticed Meng Zirou's expression changed drastically.
"No!" Meng Zirou stood up, let out a long breath, and calmed down her emotions a little: "If you don't want to, I won't force you. Chi Lian, can you teach me!"
"Yes, Young Master!" Hearing this, Chi Lian was ecstatic. Although he didn't have any illusions, at least he could face the Young Master day and night, and he was naturally overjoyed.
"Rou'er, it's not that I don't want to teach you, I just don't want you to get involved in endless struggles again. I really hope you can live a peaceful life." Lu Xiao explained patiently, facing Meng Zirou, he always
There is a feeling of powerlessness.
--"Do you think that's possible?"
The calm words left the eloquent Lu Xiao speechless.
After an unbearable silence for a long time, Lu Xiao admitted defeat and said: "Okay, Rou'er, if you really want to, learn from Xianyu first tomorrow. When you can beat her, I will teach you. Anyway, the distance is
The next Blood Stone Competition is more than a year away, so with your qualifications there should be no problem. But remember, you are not allowed to use magic fire when fighting Xianyu."
You know, if Meng Zirou really mobilizes the magic fire to attack, I am afraid that three Xianyu will not be able to stop her.
"I know." Glancing at Lu Xiao angrily, Meng Zirou once again covered her inner pain with a smile, "Then do you want to charge a apprenticeship fee?"
Pretending to be relaxed and joking, Meng Zirou rarely showed her usual innocent smile: "I don't have any money!".
"He also said that if you use my money to buy people's hearts, the ones you buy are my cronies." Lu Xiao pretended to be angry and made a sullen face.
——"Because you are the only person I trust now. Therefore, only the people you like are worth buying. And I don't use your money!"
Although he knew that Meng Zirou's words were very flattering, Lu Xiao still smiled happily. Does this mean that he is already very important in her heart?
In the days that followed, everyone lived peacefully and comfortably.
Yaizhen and Lu Xiao would go out early and come back late every day. They didn't know what they were busy with. When they had a little free time, they would practice kung fu with Meng Zirou and the others. Their attitude towards Ao Sheng seemed to be much better, and they would give him some tips from time to time.
Xianyu is even busier. After training with the Xuan Guards every day, he has to practice martial arts with Meng Zirou and Aosheng on the coaching field. Although it is a bit harder, he still feels very happy to be able to stay with Meng Zirou and Lu Xiao every day.
Happy.
Meng Zirou practiced boxing and kicking with Xianyu during the day, and Lu Xiao taught her mental skills at night. She has strong spiritual power, coupled with her talent, intelligence, and hard work, her cultivation has improved by leaps and bounds. In just six months,
Time has already reached the same level as Xianyu.
Only Ao Sheng seems to be addicted to being scolded by Xianyu. He is yelled at and beaten by her every day, but he still enjoys it. Sometimes even Meng Zirou feels that he can't stand it, but Ao Sheng, who is arrogant by nature,
But he was still like Xiaosi, following Xianyu happily and letting him do whatever he wanted.
Asked why, Ao Sheng would always say proudly: "What do you know? Hitting means scolding is love. When I grow up, no woman can slap me into the wall with a slap. No one dares to be harsh to me."
Hu Xiaoyong, Sister Xianyu is the first one. Also, the way she beat people is so beautiful. That night, she spread her wings and stood in the air, sending out arrows all over the sky at me. That scene was so mesmerizing -
-----"
Seeing his intoxicated look, everyone sighed: He is sick, absolutely sick, a typical masochist-----
At the same time, Li Mubai's life has also undergone earth-shaking changes.
Tongtong is gone, and Lin Yuwei has become a demon. There is no trace of home in the empty house, and he never dares to go back. Every time he gets close to it, the longing that is as painful as his heart will gnaw at him.
Every nerve.
He had also thought about selling it directly, or simply giving it away. However, Li Mubai was troubled by the question of where to settle down one day when his brothers came to the mortal world.
The most important thing is that Li Mubai has always been unwilling to accept the tragedy of his family's death. He always has an inexplicable extravagant hope in his heart. It seems that sooner or later, his wife and daughter will come back, and the three of them can still live a warm and peaceful life as before.
.
Therefore, even after resigning, Li Mubai still kept that house and the home he and Lin Yuwei once had.
At midnight, the white figure stood proudly on the top of the Oriental Pearl Tower, with torch-like eyes quietly looking down at the city that never sleeps at his feet. Li Mubai counted in his heart: "------Eighty-nine, ninety, ninety-one-
-----One hundred and three",
In one year, I eliminated 103 demons in this ancient country, but there was still no news about the earth spirits.
You must know that the earth spirit was originally placed in the underground palace to suppress the magical beasts hidden deep underground. More than three hundred years ago, the catastrophe caused by the loss of the earth spirit would have been suppressed by the four divine beasts if it had not been for the joint efforts of the four divine beasts to suppress it and turn into guardians.
God stays there all year round and will cause many people to die.
Now, the purple-eyed girl who stole the earth spirit has been reincarnated, but why is there still no news about the earth spirit?
With a helpless sigh, Li Mubai silently recited the tracking spell. Waves of invisible water patterns centered on him in the air, slowly spreading to all directions, capturing every trace of demonic energy within a hundred miles radius -
-----
"Junior Brother Ninth, you really work hard!" A strange voice suddenly appeared in my ears.
Li Mubai put away his spiritual power and looked attentively. A middle-aged man wearing a fashionable suit with slightly curly hair was holding his head high and pointing his nostrils at him. His slender eyes were narrowed into slits. He was holding something nondescript in his hand.
He held a folding fan and fanned it gently in a flirtatious manner.
"Second Senior Brother, why are you here?" Li Mubai hurriedly leaned down and saluted. The person who came was none other than Bai Muxian, the second disciple of the True Monarch of Six Paths. Although he had practiced for more than a thousand years and had become immortal, he had yet to become an immortal.
Instead, Li Mubai, who had practiced cultivation for hundreds of years behind him, was the first to be ranked in the Immortal Class, so he has always been jealous.
——"Hmph, why, are you only allowed to enjoy yourself in the mortal world, even if I come over to see you?"
The nonsensical sarcasm made Li Mubai speechless for a moment. After a long time, he spoke again: "I wonder if the master has any instructions?"
"Humph, Master, he missed you, and asked me to come over and see you, and bring you this by the way." As he said that, he took out the hand behind his back and held up a small medicine box.
——"Ask me to come personally for this little thing. Master really values you."
Although the last words were just whispered, they clearly reached Li Mubai's ears.
Without further explanation, Li Mubai took the medicine box, and a faint fragrance floated over, refreshing her heart and mind. When she opened it, two golden pills the size of pigeon eggs suddenly appeared in front of her eyes, and they hit her face even more intensely, like a clear spring flowing through her body.
, which makes people feel relaxed and happy.
"This is the Qingming Pill, which is specially designed to clear away demonic energy. It can also greatly improve your cultivation level. The master is afraid that you will be contaminated with demonic energy after staying with that female devil for a long time, so I gave it to you specially. Huh, after so many years, I have always given it to you.
It’s so biased that I’ll give you all the good things.” After saying that, Bai Muchian turned to Li Mubai dissatisfied and said, “Just enjoy it! Hey, why are there two?”
Li Mubai was also a little puzzled. You must know that Qingming Pills are extremely powerful. One pill is enough to cleanse the demonic energy of a real demon. What's more, he might be contaminated, so he wouldn't use two pills, right?
"By the way, this is the Phantom Sound Stone given to you by the master. There must be other explanations in it. Take your time and read it yourself. I'll leave first. Huh." As he said that, Bai Muchian threw a crystal stone to Li Mubai.
, then turned into a wisp of green smoke and disappeared directly. Before leaving, he did not forget to snort. It seemed that only in this way would he feel comfortable.
After Bai Muxian walked away, Li Mubai lightly touched the Phantom Sound Stone. An old and kind face immediately appeared in the sky. Master Liu Dao looked at Li Mubai with a smile and said lightly:
——Child, I know I have wronged you for so many years! Lin Yatou and Tongtong are both your closest relatives. If something like this happened, it can only be said to be God’s will. Don’t blame yourself too much, let alone blame others. As long as you choose the path
, just go on without hesitation. Master believes in you.
——But Master really hopes that you can be happy. In fact, Girl Lin is not bad in nature, but fate is too tricky. If you want to leave with Girl Lin, go find her! These two Qingming Pills, you guys
One for each of you, this is my last help to you.
——Master has already missed it once, and I don’t want your senior brother’s tragedy to happen to you again------
The thoughtful words made Li Mubai burst into tears. The eldest brother was the master's inverse figure. No one dared to mention it on weekdays, but he actually exposed his own scars for himself, which shows how much he cared about him.
However, can I really forget all the responsibilities and hatred and start over with Lin Yuwei? As Qing Lingzi, I shoulder the responsibility of finding the earth spirit and maintaining the immortal way. How can I give up for a woman? As a man, he kills his mother.
How can the hatred of women, the hatred of parricide be wiped out? I have made mistakes again and again, do I want to let the master down again? Absolutely.
Li Mubai clenched the medicine box in his hand, staring into the distance with burning eyes, letting his clothes rustle in the evening wind, but did not flinch.
Not far away, Bai Muxian appeared faintly in mid-air, his jealous eyes like arrows shot towards Li Mubai, the murderous intent in his eyes became even more intense------
