Chapter 78
Chapter 78
"Is Su Yi still awake?"
It was getting late, Bai Qi glanced at the deep twilight, and asked Su Zhong who was on the other side of the bonfire.
A half-roll of bamboo slips was hanging down before his knees, his expression flickered slightly under the warm firelight, showing a kind of calm and gentleness—this is an extremely rare expression on his face.
Su Zhong stretched out his hand to stroke Su Yi's hair, and he lay on his lap, sleeping peacefully.
"No, but he slept peacefully, as if he was having a sweet dream." Su Zhong smiled softly, "It seems that memory is pretty good for him."
Bai Qi's face softened, and she casually melted a blue velvet collar cape over Su Yi's body, and was about to speak.
At this time, a wave of light suddenly flashed across the calm water in the distance, like a sharp sword light splitting from the bottom of the water, coming like lightning, and disappearing in an instant.
Bai Qi and Su Zhong became vigilant in an instant, and they simultaneously protected Su Yi and Jian Chenyuan who was sitting beside him quietly, and looked towards the place where the light flashed.
Juechenyuan's reaction was faster than theirs, almost at the moment when the light came on, he raised his head and stared at that place with cold eyes.
The eyes of the three fell, and what caught their eyes was a piece of calm yellow water reflecting the afterglow of the setting sun.
"The light just now..." Yan Chenyuan propped his chin and asked with a serious face: "Isn't it my illusion?"
"No."
"I saw it too." Bai Qi and Su Zhong replied in unison.
At the same time, the sword intents of the two floated up in the void space, vaguely surrounding the space to guard against possible dangers.
It's no wonder they overreacted, it's because Su Yi's situation is special at this time, and Jian Chenyuan has no power to restrain the chicken, if he is not vigilant, who knows what will happen.
Su Yi can't be hurt, and neither can the fate of the world.The former is their backdoor, and the latter is the backstory of someone they don't want to mess with and can't.
Jue Chenyuan didn't know what the two of them were thinking, his eyes were fixed on the place where the light passed, and there was an inexplicable throbbing in his heart.
Like a conditioned reflex, he stood up suddenly, and was about to walk over there.
Su Zhong was taken aback by him, and blurted out: "Brother, what are you going to do?"
His call stopped Juchen Yuan's footsteps.
"Outside, don't call me senior brother." Jian Chenyuan gave him a sideways glance, his expression was calm, he didn't seem to be bewitched, and he wasn't angry, "I want to go and have a look."
"This……"
Su Zhong hesitated, and frowned slightly.
It's not that he has no confidence in himself and Bai Qi's strength, but that he is used to making decisions before acting, and is not used to approaching possible sources of danger before he understands the situation.
But Jianchenyuan is not a willful person, there must be an important reason why he suddenly made such a request.
Su Zhong remembered that before departure, his master had told him to listen to his senior brother at all times. After thinking for a moment, he reluctantly handed Su Yi into Bai Qi's arms, and got up as well.
"Okay," he said, "I'll go with you."
"Uh..." Jinchenyuan exhaled a helpless sigh from his nose, did not refuse, but retreated to his side, and walked towards the front of the spring beach side by side with him.
Bai Qi let Su Yi rest on her shoulder, and hugged him very tenderly, half of her mind was on him, and the other half was paying close attention to the situation of Jue Chen Yuan and Su Zhong.
As the night darkened, the color of the spring water became darker. Half of it was a dull yellow, and the other half reflected the crescent moon and missing stars in the sky.
As the two walked closer, they suddenly felt that the wind blowing from all sides was a little bit stronger, like a blade as thin as a cicada's wing brushing against their cheeks, causing a slight tingling pain.
At the same time, the darkness of night rushed over as if stepping up, wiping away the last trace of twilight on the water surface, leaving behind a gloomy black, sticky and gloomy like thick ink.
"Watch out."
The words of Bai Qi's reminder came from behind, but it seemed to be separated by a barrier, and there were distortions, sound changes and sluggish phenomena.
Realizing this, Su Zhong and Jian Chen Yuan were both startled.
The change came too fast, and it had already exerted such an influence on them before they even got close to the source.
The two of them didn't have time to think about it, and retreated reflexively, but before the back heels fell, they hit something sharp.
"Brother, bow your head!"
Su Zhong heard an imperceptible soft sound, followed the sound to look behind Jinchen Yuan, his pupils shrank suddenly, and he blurted out.
Jian Chenyuan lowered his head immediately, and felt a thin and sharp sharp object flying past his ears, and Su Zhong raised his hand to hold it—it was empty!
"Wow—"
It was as if tens of thousands of howling ghosts surged from the ground, converging into river tides and ocean waves, violently sweeping across the world, arousing invisible and huge tremors.
Jian Chenyuan couldn't react in time, he was so shocked that he let out a muffled grunt, and bloodshot eyes oozed from the corners of his ears, nose and mouth.
Su Zhong circled him, and two golden sword qi spiraled around his upper body from his feet, crushing the strange strength from all directions.
They are invisible and shadowless, like wind and rain, sharper than the world's sharpest weapons, and have the terrifying ability to come and go without a trace, making them hard to guard against.
Fortunately, Su Zhong's strength can still stabilize them. The sword energy turned into a dragon shape and entrenched on both sides, and they can be easily destroyed with only sharp teeth.
"Brother!"
Su Zhong stretched out his hands and covered Chen Yuan's ears, dissipating all the impact on him when the strength first came out, the spiritual power was like water, and then gently soothed the remaining pain.
Jue Chenyuan finally came to his senses, took a low breath, and reluctantly said: "I'm fine."
The two opened their eyes again, and the surrounding environment changed drastically.
It is no longer the picturesque Tianyi Spring, but an ancient battlefield filled with bones.
Incomplete bones and weapons were buried in the ground, unbroken banners were planted on the black and red mounds, and half of the banners were so decayed that they couldn't see their original shape flying in the wind.
The soil was stained a dull red with blood, and under the gray sky, invisible winds were blowing wantonly—they would destroy everything in their path, including the bones in the ground.
Except for that flag.
"Those are..." Su Zhong frowned and stared at the slender bone closest to him, "It's not a human bone, it looks like the spine of a fish."
"It's the spine of the fish monster's original form." Jian Chenyuan said coldly, attracting Su Zhong's strange glance, just in time to catch a glimpse of the complicated and incomprehensible emotions in his eyes, "You have seen this kind of fish monster, not long ago."
"Phoenix tail and dragon eyes?" Su Zhong blinked, and said the name in a complicated tone.
Nodding all the way.
"Woo-woo-"
There was a shrill and hollow sound of wind in the air, and a gust of wind brushed against the ground, smashing the joint of the fishbone.
Su Zhong looked around and saw that the huge ancient battlefield was full of monster bones of different shapes. Except for fish monsters, he could recognize more than ten kinds of them alone. The huge number was shocking.
These demon bones have been buried here for a long time, and the demon energy that should be attached to them has long since disappeared, and they are no different from the bones of ordinary animals.
Realizing this, Su Zhong's face became a bit solemn: "There are countless monster clans buried in this battlefield, but in my impression, there shouldn't be such a place in the world."
"Perhaps this battlefield does not exist in the present, but a long time ago. That period of time was long enough to turn the flat land into a high mountain, and the sea was full of vicissitudes."
As Jian Chenyuan said, he bent down to caress the ground, and the cold to slightly sharp temperature poured out from the hard touch, which came from the demon blood that had been sprinkled here, but now it has dried up and cooled.
Su Zhong heard the emotion and loss in his tone, and his heart moved: "Brother, do you know where this is?"
Jin Chenyuan hesitated for a moment, then nodded silently.
"When I was young, I saw an incomplete map in the cat clan collection. On the map was an ancient battlefield. It was called the Yaozu graveyard long before it was difficult to describe with numbers. According to the few According to records, too many monster clans have died here, so a huge amount of power has accumulated. Many members of the monster clan hope to find this place and use that power for their own use, but unfortunately..."
When Jian Chenyuan said this, he twitched the corner of his mouth helplessly.
"Those who want it have been asking for it for many years, but we are the ones who carelessly planted willows and willows."
Su Zhong was thoughtful: "So, this is what Master said, the opportunity for you to recover your demon power?"
Juchen Yuan's expression suddenly became a little gloomy, he looked up into the distance, and at the end of his field of vision was the flying banner.
At the same moment, Bai Qi hugged Su Yi and was still sitting by the Tianyi Spring, looked at the location where Su Zhong and Yan Chenyuan disappeared, and looked around the surrounding area, narrowing her eyes slightly.
"Come out."
As soon as the words fell, the water surface that had attracted the attention of the three people who were awake suddenly calmed down, and the space above the water was twisted into a rotating hole, and a man with gray temples stepped out of it.
The man was handsome and elegant. Although the black hair was mixed with silver, it didn't look old, but it added more maturity to him.
He was dressed plainly, only wearing a plain blue shirt, his long hair was tied up loosely, and he wore a wooden hairpin at an angle.
Even so, he also gives people a sense of radiance like a gem.
Simple and gorgeous, two very different temperaments blend harmoniously in him.
Bai Qi held Su Yi's hand tightly, and a cold and hostile look appeared in her eyes almost instantly.
Like an enemy.
The man smiled, looking at Bai Qi, who was over a thousand years old, as if looking at a naughty boy: "Don't be so vigilant - in fact, I should have come here earlier."
"Until the grievances between the human and demon races are resolved, you, the last hybrid peacock demon, are still our enemy."
Bai Qi was still sitting cross-legged on the ground, but dozens of sword lights had condensed around her body.
They are spread out layer upon layer and surround the whole body, and the tip of the sword points directly at the man whose identity has been revealed——
He is the last mixed blood peacock demon of the demon clan, Kongfan who has lived for tens of thousands of years.
"Yes, the two races are still enemies today." Kong Fan folded his sleeves, like an old man watching the fun with his hands on the street, with a smile in his eyes, "But I never thought of being an enemy of the human race, let alone I won't...do anything to him."
While speaking, his eyes fell on Su Yi.
This glance of time is long, like a moment of time that whizzes by and suddenly stops, and its weight is as heavy as a mountain.
"Uh..." Bai Qi restrained her hostility, showing a little bit of doubt: "For you, who is he?"
"An...an old friend whom I never met."
Kong Fan answered very simply and decisively, but after he finished speaking, he laughed at himself, and his glass-like pupils were a little cold.
"Don't worry, I won't do anything to him. After all, the era that was related to him and me has long passed." Kong Fan took a step back and spread his hands, expressing that he was not hostile, "I will be here When he wakes up, take him to complete the last thing about the past."
Bai Qi's eyes drooped slightly, her expression was indifferent: "Give me a reason."
He asked seriously, and although Kong Fan didn't want to answer, he still sighed softly: "For this matter, I dragged this old body and lingered for nearly a thousand years."
The torrent of time crashed down like a cloud hanging from the sky.
……
Beside the bonfire, in the faint light, the three members of the Moon Feather Clan shivered and huddled together, like pigeons huddling together to keep warm in the cold wind.
The three of the human race were better, after all, they didn't speak ill of Su Yi.Rather than being afraid, they were more curious and respectful, and they raised their eyes to Su Yi from time to time.
Su Yi...Su Yi is still eating.
The roasted fruit tastes soft and glutinous, like chestnut puree, with a rustle and fleshy texture that fills the stomach. Although Su Yi doesn't know what it is, she eats it happily.
Noticing Yue's gaze again, he turned his bright eyes and asked with a smile, "Little girl, do you want to eat too?"
After finishing speaking, he spread his hands, holding two roasted fruits whose skins were charred black in his white palms, smiling kindly.
Yue looked at the two terrifying poisonous fruits that fell into the river and could kill all creatures along the river, swallowed, and said calmly, "No, no, you go on, go on."
The other five also nodded their heads like pounding garlic.
"Okay." Su Yi withdrew his hand, his face showed a little regret for not sharing the success, "This fruit tastes good, it's a pity not to eat it."
"Uh..." They didn't dare to answer those words.
After a while, the three people on the human side saw that Su Yi ate all the remaining fruit, clapped his hands to dust off the crumbs, looked at each other secretly with a happy face, and began to tentatively ask some things they wanted to know.
Huang, who was the most stable among the three, was the first to speak: "This... sir, are you a human race?"
Su Yi gave a pause for brushing off the crumbs.
Oh Yo!This young man really grasped the point of sniffing out the wind!
