Chapter 290
However, before she came to Li Huai, she saw the horse named Xiaobai galloping towards her; it was originally pitch black outside, but the horse seemed to be hung with a lantern, which made Xi Lan accurately understand. Know its location.
After all, there is no end to the sky, Xi Lan gritted her teeth and ran towards Xiao Bai desperately. When Xiao Bai came to her, she grabbed the stiff rope and quickly climbed onto the horse's back. Run out of the village.
Zhu Xiurong chased her out and saw her get on the white horse, he shook his sleeves angrily, and ordered people to chase after her.
After a long time, those minions who were chasing after came back and reported: "After that witch left the village, she couldn't see her shadow!"
"That white horse is absolutely extraordinary, how can you guys catch up to it!" Zhu Xiurong was naturally angry, such a great opportunity was missed!
However, he was relieved in an instant, "Long Xilan, do you think you can escape the old man's palm?"
And Xi Lan, lying on the horse's back, has lost the ability to control the horse. Her eyes seem to be open or closed, and the surroundings are dark. She doesn't know where Xiaobai will go. No more pain!
Am I going to die like this?can you?
She began to be afraid again, and she was in a daze. She felt that it was dawn, and the sun hurt her eyes.
Xiaobai took her like this, ran from night to dawn, and arrived at a small village eight hundred miles west of Jinling without stopping. A little girl who was fetching water from the river in the afternoon found her. At the age of two, her parents died, and she lived with her grandma. When she saw a lot of blood on her body, she was shocked, but she immediately called her grandma. Her surname was Yu, and everyone in the village called her grandma Yu. He led the horse to the thatched cottage, and moved her into the wooden bed in the room after exhausting all his efforts.
"Little bamboo shoot, go and boil a pot of hot water!"
Xiao Sun was sensible since she was born, so she brought the hot water to boil without asking any further questions. Grandma Yu took off Xi Lan's blood-stained coat, only to find out that it was a daughter's birth. Looking at her wounds, she was also shocked. Big jump.
"Why is this blood this color?"
"Grandma?" Xiao Sun couldn't help being curious, wanting to take a look.
Grandma Yu's eyes were serious, and she instructed, "Little Sun, go and grind up the herbs that grandma dried outside."
"Yes!"
"I don't know what happened to you, but you are angry when you are hurt like this. It seems that you are a fateful person..."
Grandma Yu cleaned the wound for her, applied some medicinal foam, and bound it up with her coat.
"Grandma, will this sister get better?" Xiao Sun was kind by nature, so she naturally hoped that she would get better.
Grandma Yu sighed and said, "I hope!"
The mother-in-law and grandson took care of her like this for a day and a night. Xi Lan finally had a sense of consciousness. When she opened her eyes, she saw this humble house and the little girl in front of her, and immediately realized that she was saved!
"Grandma, sister is awake!" Xiao Sun was very happy. She thought that the sister she had rescued would be like her parents back then, sleeping and never waking up again!
Grandma Yu came into the room to take a look at her, and went out without saying anything!
Xi Lan asked Xiao Sun: "Where is this place?"
"This is Xiaotao Village in Feng County, sister, why did you suffer such serious injuries?"
"Didn't anyone come to see me when I was in a coma?"
Xiao Sun shook her head and replied, "Who is looking for my sister?"
Naturally, he will not be a good person!
Xi Lan knows very well that Zhu Xiurong will definitely come to her, and with his ability, he will find her soon. The mother-in-law and grandson are kind and ordinary people, and she must not implicate them; When she was hurt, she got up and put on her clothes.
Seeing that she was leaving, Xiao Sun immediately went out to look for her grandma, but not long after she left, she heard the girl's cry; Xi Lan's heart tightened, could it be that Zhu Xiurong came after her?She found a hoe for digging medicine by the wall, and immediately picked it up and walked outside. However, it was not that the person who wanted to kill her came, but Xiao Sun saw her grandma kill the only old hen that lay eggs in the family. , so she was sad.
"Grandma, didn't you say that we left it to lay eggs for us? Xiaosun can take the eggs to the town to exchange for money, so that he can buy medicine for grandma, but grandma, if you kill it, we will have no eggs... How can I exchange money to buy medicine for grandma without eggs?"
Grandma Yu also looked sad when she saw how sad her granddaughter was crying. She held the old hen that had been drained of blood in her hand and softly persuaded: "Grandma can cure the disease by digging out the medicine by herself. It's okay, little bamboo shoot, that My sister's body is too weak, she needs this to replenish her body!"
Although Xiao Sun was sad, but hearing this, her crying slowed down!
Seeing this situation, Xi Lan couldn't help but think of those princes and grandchildren of the noble family in the imperial city. When they spent money like water, they didn't know that there were some people who couldn't even look down on illness and could only wait to die at home.
"Girl, just wait, grandma is going to make chicken soup for you." Grandma Yu smiled kindly at her, and Xi Lan was worried when she saw that she had no relationship with them, why did she treat herself like this?
Also unwilling to speculate on the intentions of kind people, Xi Lan searched around and found her cloth bag on the bedside, with all the contents inside, the money given to him by relics and Zixu Yuan, she took the money When I got out, I went to the simple kitchen and handed it to Grandma Yu: "Mother-in-law, I can't thank you enough for saving my life. This is all I have on me. Take it to the doctor and buy medicine!"
But she didn't want to, Grandma Yu pushed her back, with pain on her face, "Girl, I can see that you are not an ordinary person, and I have selfish intentions in saving you."
She was a little surprised, but in an instant, they all disappeared in her faint eyes.
Grandma Yu checked the outside of the house and made sure that Xiao Sun was not there, so she said: "I have suffered all my life. Back then, when my son went to the capital to sell melons, he bumped into a nobleman in the capital and was seriously injured. He passed away within a few days after he came back. His wife couldn't bear the blow, so she committed suicide, leaving me, an orphan old woman, with a granddaughter to depend on each other. Life is fine, but I am old and sick, and time is running out. What I can't let go of is my granddaughter. If I leave, she is so young, what should I do? Maybe it's because I have never done anything wrong in my life, and Guanyin Bodhisattva has pity on me. I have been dreaming a few days ago, dreaming of a fairy Riding a white horse to pick up my granddaughter, isn't this you?"
It turned out that Grandma Yu once had such a dream, and that's why they got married.
However, Xi Lan suddenly became embarrassed.
"Grandma, it's not that I don't want to help you, it's just that I can't protect myself now..."
There was a hint of disappointment in Granny Yu's eyes, as if she also realized that she was a bit too strong for others.
Xi Lan was also not at ease, she thought for a while, "Otherwise, mother-in-law, you wait for me, if I can pass this hurdle, I will definitely come back again."
"Really?"
"Really!" She didn't know whether she would fulfill this promise, but she didn't want to let the kind old man down.
Because she was afraid of hurting the mother-in-law and grandson, she didn't plan to stay longer, packed her things, and rode away.
Grandma Yu and Xiao Sun stood in front of the thatched hut and waved goodbye to her. She rode across the field, intending to take a detour back to the that Zhu Xiurong has the Four God Beads, she will definitely come to her, and she doesn't plan to hide, whether it's for Xu Yuan or her father, she wants to find a way to deal with the enemy, so the only thing she can think of is Li Huai .
"Why don't you hide? Why don't you hide?"
"as you wish--"
No matter what kind of person Li Huai is, he at least gave her a way to survive, and let her take away the bodhi beads that can last until his death.
She was so stupid that she didn't even notice that he was using this method to prove to her that he was not what she thought.
But he had to wait until this moment to understand the stubbornness that refused to bow his head in his haughty soul...
At this moment, Xi Lan rode through the bamboo forest and arrived at a small hillside. She deliberately slowed down and looked back at this quiet small village.
However, she saw that deep in the field, there was thick smoke rising to the sky. She looked solemn, and after looking carefully, she was sure that it was Xiaosun's home. How could it be on fire just after she left?
She didn't think much, they saved her life, she couldn't leave them there like this, so she turned her horse and ran back came to the hut, the fire was still intensifying, and in front of the fire, there was a person lying on the ground.
"Mother-in-law!" Xi Lan scared the horse, and quickly ran to Grandma Yu. There was blood on the corner of Grandma Yu's mouth, and there were no obvious injuries on her body, but her internal organs were seriously injured, and she was left don't need to ask for proof, you know that you were injured by a powerful force.
"Mother-in-law!" When she saw the kind old woman who had saved her life like this, she burst into tears of anger and sadness, "I still hurt you!"
Grandma Yu didn't blame her, but seeing that she was able to come back, her eyes were filled with relief. "Small bamboo shoots—"
After speaking, he died!
"Grandma! Grandma! Grandma!" Xiao Sun's cry came from behind, Xi Lan put down Grandma Yu's body, and slowly got up with anger in her eyes.
In front of her, a minion of the Zhu family held Xiaosun and looked at her with a smirk.
Xiao Sun saw her grandma lying on the ground, crying sadly. "Sister! Sister!"
"Don't hurt her!" she warned loudly.
Then a few more people came out from around, and among them was a child with a hint of complacency on his gloomy face. "Long Xilan, where else can you escape this time?"
"Zhu Xiurong, why are you coming at me? You can do such insane things as killing old people and children, aren't you afraid of thunder?"
If she had the ability, she wished she could tear this old man into pieces. At the same time, she hated herself even more for her incompetence, for letting all the good people die because of her, but she did nothing!
Zhu Xiurong said with a dignified and virtuous attitude: "Thunder strikes? In this world, there must be someone to maintain peace. Our Zhu family has rescued so many people over the past thousands of years. It's okay to die occasionally. What? They are old, weak, sick, and disabled, and living is nothing but suffering, so I might as well give them a ride..."
Long Xilan clenched her fists tightly. Even if she was not seriously injured, she still didn't have enough strength to fight this old man. What should she do now?Could it be that he just watched Xiaosun die miserably at the hands of the enemy?
Suddenly, she took off the Yihua bead around her neck, "Don't you want the divine bead? I'll give it to you!"
As soon as Zhu Xiurong saw the divine bead, his eyes changed, and he wanted to seize it.
She made a condition and said, "Zhu Xiurong, you let that child go, and I am here. You are so powerful, why bother to kill a child to make yourself guilty? It is enough for you to kill me!"
The other party smiled evilly. A child really has nothing to worry about, but he will not let anyone go: "Do you know? You must never leave such a hidden danger for yourself just because you can't bear it for a while!"
After hearing this, she immediately scolded angrily: "Zhu Xiurong, do you still have humanity? You won't let such a small child go?"
The other party waved to his subordinate indifferently, and that person carried Xiao Sun to the side of the fire, as if he wanted to burn Xiao Sun to death!
Xi Lan knew that Zhu Xiurong was a dignified man who killed people like hemp, but this is simply the anger of man and god!
She wanted to run over to stop her, but the Yihua Orb in her hand was sucked by the other party. She didn't care that Zhu Xiurong would have the five-color beads soon, so she quickly made a detour to save Xiaosun, but soon, there were several other Zhu's lackeys surrounded her, and she fought with several people with wounds. After she had dealt with these people, she went to find Xiaosun, but unexpectedly found that beside the fire house, there was only the big man holding Xiaosun just now. Falling to the ground, apparently dead, Xiaosun actually disappeared in this short period of time?
Who killed the big man?Where did the little bamboo shoots go?
At this time, Zhu Xiurong had already fused the Yihua beads into five-color beads. Seeing that all these subordinates had died in Xi Lan's hands, he flew over angrily to deal with her. Xi Lan only felt a powerful force coming towards him from behind. When the strike came, she subconsciously blocked it with her arm, but the power was consumed in front of her!
Both of them were very surprised. Xi Lan lowered her arm to look and found that it was the relic.
Zhu Xiurong looked at her suspiciously, "What else do you have on you?"
His ability is already so powerful, how can there be anything in this world that can consume the power of his five-color beads?
"Bodhi relic!" He also guessed it immediately, with excitement in his eyes, "It's changed! It's changed! Hahahaha!"
Actually changed?What changed?Long Xilan took two steps back holding the relic. Although the relic had consumed the power of his five-color divine beads, it was not enough to deal with him.
"You still don't know who you are?" Zhu Xiurong asked her, anyway, her life was his, and she was not in a hurry for this moment.
"who am I?"
"Zhu Xiurong!" A male voice suddenly sounded, startling the two of them.
Xi Lan looked over and found two people walking quickly in the field.
One is Long Xingtian, and the other is as thin as Long Xingtian, with a silver-white goatee and cold eyes. Xi Lan immediately guessed that this is the master of Ping An, named Zhuge Niancong , and Zhuge Nianci are brothers and sisters.
Zhu Xiurong saw the faces of the two clearly: "You——"
"father!"
"Zhu Xiurong, how many Taoists do you have to kill before you give up?" Zhuge Niancong shouted righteously.
"Hmph, you two pedantic jars came just in time, lest you come out to do bad things to the old man in the future, today the old man will send you up together, just in time for you father and daughter to have a companion on Huangquan Road!"
Long Xingtian and Zhuge Niancong also came prepared, they hurried to the vicinity, and when they drew their swords, they threw out a lot of white powder, Zhu Xiurong was stained with the powder, howled a few times in annoyance, and waved his sleeves wildly, as if Bewildered by the powder, I couldn't see the surrounding scene.
Seeing this, Xi Lan took out the knife on her lap, intending to get to know the old man.
"Xi Lan, run!" Long Xingtian shouted.
She didn't know why her father didn't let her kill Zhu Xiurong, but she also listened to him, and quickly ran to Long Xingtian's side, and asked doubtfully, "Father, why didn't you kill him now?"
"We sprinkled the ashes of Daoist Qingfeng's golden body from Nanxian Mountain. We can only temporarily restrain him. Now we don't have the ability to kill him, so let's go!"
The three of them walked outside quickly, her Xiaobai was still there, seeing Xiaosun standing in front of the horse, she breathed a sigh of relief, it turned out that her father had saved Xiaosun in advance.
Zhuge Niancong said: "It's not too late, let's go!"
So, the three of them got on the horse, and Xiao Sun rode the same horse with her, and quickly fled to the southeast.
And Xi Lan rode around for a long time, and her injury became more serious, but she was afraid of dragging her father and senior Zhuge, so she kept holding back and didn't say anything.
Long Xingtian noticed that his daughter's face was turning blue early on, so he deliberately slowed down, and said: "Xi Lan, hold on for a while..."
Zhuge Niancong also stopped, came over to feel her pulse, and said: "She is damaged inside and out, not only Zhu Xiurong hurt her, but also the evil spirit of Long Ningzhu in her body!"
"Father, Senior Zhuge, I'm fine. I've gotten through that evil aura many times, and I've survived it. It's the same this time!"
The two didn't think so, but they didn't dare to stop.
Long Xingtian looked at the road ahead in the dark, and in order to lighten her burden, he hugged Xiaosun who had already fallen asleep from exhaustion.
Zhuge Niancong said: "Keep going, once you get to the sea, Zhu Xiurong won't be able to find her!"
In this way, Xi Lan persisted and walked forward for more than a hundred miles. She really tried her best and fell into a coma again.
In a daze, she heard the sound of the waves and the beating of the oars on the water, and she was relieved. It seemed that they had reached the sea!
"Father, father..." She called twice, but she didn't hear the other party's answer, so she opened her eyes hard, and saw a handsome man sitting on the bow of the boat. He was wearing a pure white robe, surrounded by the fog on the sea. Surrounding him, like a fairy cloud, it is invisible.
"Li Huai..." Although she was suffering physically, she was happy in her heart. She saw him again!
Then she immediately realized that Li Huai would not really be here, this must be her dream.
"You came to my dream again!"
"Yes, this is your dream!" The fairy-like man at the bow echoed softly.
She lay powerlessly in the cabin, opened her eyes and looked at his side face, which reflected the ripples of the water surface. In the dream, he couldn't see a trace of evil spirit. She always thought that was what he looked like 2000 years ago.
"Li Huai, I'm in so much pain!"
She is so strong, but she only dared to admit this to him in her dream. Obviously, the torture of this pain made her weak-willed. In the past, so many times her life was hanging by a thread, she insisted on living because She wants to guard him, afraid that he will face the world alone, but now that she has lost the qualification to have that obsession, she has shaken the idea of living.
"I'm so tired! I'm so tired!" She said deeply, the man looked at her pitifully, soft waves brushed her cheeks, she smiled slightly, and gently closed her eyes.
Father Long, who stood by her side, saw that her aura was fading away, and said with a sad face, "Brother Zhuge, I'm afraid she won't be able to survive this time!"
Zhuge Niancong was rowing the oar behind him, and when he heard Long Xingtian's voice, his expression changed. He stopped, came to the boat tent, and planned to take another life-extending pill to pay her.
"It's already the third one. This life is about to die, and it's useless to take more life extension pills!" Long Xingtian lowered his head, as if complaining to himself: "This child has never lived a few days comfortably. In life, when she was able to walk, I started to teach her to recognize symbols and practice martial arts. If I knew she would not escape this fate, why did I bother to let her learn these things back then? It would be better to let her be as happy and free as Xiaofeng..."
Didn't it be because he knew that her life was going to be rough that he wanted to teach her to be a brave and strong person? He thought that by doing this, he would be able to face the dangers of the world with strength, but it was all in vain.
Seeing his old friend so sad for his daughter, Zhuge Niancong wanted to comfort him, but facing the parting of life and death, what they could use to comfort him was no longer able to smooth out the pain!
"Xi Lan!"
"Huh?" She was about to lose this dream, but when she heard that familiar voice calling her, she opened her eyes again, and saw that Li Huai had sat beside him, and at some point in her hand, there was a little more. Put the erhu.
"Shall I play another song "Xi Lan" for you?"
She was powerless to respond, and then heard the chord sound like the sound of heaven, floating in the small boat on the mirror-like sea, she actually listened quietly to the end!When she opened her eyes again, she felt much better!
"It sounds so good!" After she finished speaking, what she saw was no longer Li Huai, but Long Xingtian's worried face.
"Xi Lan..."
"Father..." She called softly, it turned out that she had already had a dream, and Li Huai naturally disappeared!
Seeing his daughter waking up, Long Xingtian felt a hint of relief in his eyes, "Xi Lan, what did you say that sounds really nice?"
Although she woke up, her body was still weak, "Father, I saw Li Huai in my dream, and he played an erhu for me."
Everyone else in the boat could hear her words clearly, and both of them seemed to know something, but at this time, no one mentioned it.
"Father, where are we going?"
"Happy Island."
There was light in Xi Lan's eyes, and that was the place where she attained enlightenment and became immortal 2000 years ago.
"You are seriously injured like this. There is no other place that can be better than here. There is one more thing..."
"What else?"
Father Long stared at the looming island shadow in the distance, and replied softly: "Your soul is incomplete, and there is still a soul in Huanpo's place. We are here to return your soul when we go to the island this time."
She was naturally surprised when she heard this, and immediately asked, "Aren't I a child of illusion? How did my soul come from?"
Because she was too emotional, she pulled her wound so painfully that she could hardly breathe.
Father Long comforted her and said: "It's almost there, when the soul returns to its place, you will understand everything!"
So she could only wait patiently. When the dark night came, the stars all over the sky were imprinted on the sea, as if putting on a beautiful coat for the sea; the pain of the body.
Xiaoyao Island is an island surrounded by fairy spirit. Once you come here, you will feel refreshed.
On the horse, Xiao Sun sat on Father Long's horse and asked curiously, "Where is this place?"
"This is where the gods live..."
They kept walking, passed through the bamboo forest floating in the fairy clouds, walked through the valley where the spiritual light flickered, and finally stopped in front of a fairy mansion surrounded by fairy energy. : Looking at Sendai.
It is the high platform overlooking the immortals. Xi Lan has heard of this place in many ancient books. It is said that this is the closest place to the immortal world.
But at this moment, outside the Immortal Mansion, there was a barefoot boy waiting long ago. The boy said: "The distinguished guests have finally arrived. Mother-in-law has been waiting for you for a long time."
They got off their horses, Xi Lan was supported by Father Long, and slowly went up to are a total of 290 nine-stone steps leading to Wangxiantai. One can imagine how difficult it is for her to climb up.
At Wangxiantai overlooking the vast sky and sea, she saw the imaginary grandma again. This time, grandma Huan was holding a golden mirror in her hand, waiting for her arrival with kind eyes.
Daddy said that she had a soul left at Grandma Huan's place, that's why she came here.
"Come, come here!" Huanpo waved to her, Father Long let go of her, she stood still, and walked forward resolutely.
The illusion asked her: "Child, the illusion of the old body can not only extend life, but also reflect people's past and present lives. Do you want to take a look at yourself in the mirror?"
She looked at the mirror obsessively, and asked blankly: "Past and present? Do I have past and present?"
The old man smiled deeply, and held the mirror in front of her, "Just take a look and you'll know!"
She obediently walked to the illusion, and there was a beautiful woman standing in the mirror, she had a pair of smart big eyes, and she was smiling at her.
Xi Lan touched her face in panic, she remembered what she looked like, the woman in the mirror was not her.
But, where did she see it, yes, she must have seen it somewhere...
(End of this chapter)
However, before she came to Li Huai, she saw the horse named Xiaobai galloping towards her; it was originally pitch black outside, but the horse seemed to be hung with a lantern, which made Xi Lan accurately understand. Know its location.
After all, there is no end to the sky, Xi Lan gritted her teeth and ran towards Xiao Bai desperately. When Xiao Bai came to her, she grabbed the stiff rope and quickly climbed onto the horse's back. Run out of the village.
Zhu Xiurong chased her out and saw her get on the white horse, he shook his sleeves angrily, and ordered people to chase after her.
After a long time, those minions who were chasing after came back and reported: "After that witch left the village, she couldn't see her shadow!"
"That white horse is absolutely extraordinary, how can you guys catch up to it!" Zhu Xiurong was naturally angry, such a great opportunity was missed!
However, he was relieved in an instant, "Long Xilan, do you think you can escape the old man's palm?"
And Xi Lan, lying on the horse's back, has lost the ability to control the horse. Her eyes seem to be open or closed, and the surroundings are dark. She doesn't know where Xiaobai will go. No more pain!
Am I going to die like this?can you?
She began to be afraid again, and she was in a daze. She felt that it was dawn, and the sun hurt her eyes.
Xiaobai took her like this, ran from night to dawn, and arrived at a small village eight hundred miles west of Jinling without stopping. A little girl who was fetching water from the river in the afternoon found her. At the age of two, her parents died, and she lived with her grandma. When she saw a lot of blood on her body, she was shocked, but she immediately called her grandma. Her surname was Yu, and everyone in the village called her grandma Yu. He led the horse to the thatched cottage, and moved her into the wooden bed in the room after exhausting all his efforts.
"Little bamboo shoot, go and boil a pot of hot water!"
Xiao Sun was sensible since she was born, so she brought the hot water to boil without asking any further questions. Grandma Yu took off Xi Lan's blood-stained coat, only to find out that it was a daughter's birth. Looking at her wounds, she was also shocked. Big jump.
"Why is this blood this color?"
"Grandma?" Xiao Sun couldn't help being curious, wanting to take a look.
Grandma Yu's eyes were serious, and she instructed, "Little Sun, go and grind up the herbs that grandma dried outside."
"Yes!"
"I don't know what happened to you, but you are angry when you are hurt like this. It seems that you are a fateful person..."
Grandma Yu cleaned the wound for her, applied some medicinal foam, and bound it up with her coat.
"Grandma, will this sister get better?" Xiao Sun was kind by nature, so she naturally hoped that she would get better.
Grandma Yu sighed and said, "I hope!"
The mother-in-law and grandson took care of her like this for a day and a night. Xi Lan finally had a sense of consciousness. When she opened her eyes, she saw this humble house and the little girl in front of her, and immediately realized that she was saved!
"Grandma, sister is awake!" Xiao Sun was very happy. She thought that the sister she had rescued would be like her parents back then, sleeping and never waking up again!
Grandma Yu came into the room to take a look at her, and went out without saying anything!
Xi Lan asked Xiao Sun: "Where is this place?"
"This is Xiaotao Village in Feng County, sister, why did you suffer such serious injuries?"
"Didn't anyone come to see me when I was in a coma?"
Xiao Sun shook her head and replied, "Who is looking for my sister?"
Naturally, he will not be a good person!
Xi Lan knows very well that Zhu Xiurong will definitely come to her, and with his ability, he will find her soon. The mother-in-law and grandson are kind and ordinary people, and she must not implicate them; When she was hurt, she got up and put on her clothes.
Seeing that she was leaving, Xiao Sun immediately went out to look for her grandma, but not long after she left, she heard the girl's cry; Xi Lan's heart tightened, could it be that Zhu Xiurong came after her?She found a hoe for digging medicine by the wall, and immediately picked it up and walked outside. However, it was not that the person who wanted to kill her came, but Xiao Sun saw her grandma kill the only old hen that lay eggs in the family. , so she was sad.
"Grandma, didn't you say that we left it to lay eggs for us? Xiaosun can take the eggs to the town to exchange for money, so that he can buy medicine for grandma, but grandma, if you kill it, we will have no eggs... How can I exchange money to buy medicine for grandma without eggs?"
Grandma Yu also looked sad when she saw how sad her granddaughter was crying. She held the old hen that had been drained of blood in her hand and softly persuaded: "Grandma can cure the disease by digging out the medicine by herself. It's okay, little bamboo shoot, that My sister's body is too weak, she needs this to replenish her body!"
Although Xiao Sun was sad, but hearing this, her crying slowed down!
Seeing this situation, Xi Lan couldn't help but think of those princes and grandchildren of the noble family in the imperial city. When they spent money like water, they didn't know that there were some people who couldn't even look down on illness and could only wait to die at home.
"Girl, just wait, grandma is going to make chicken soup for you." Grandma Yu smiled kindly at her, and Xi Lan was worried when she saw that she had no relationship with them, why did she treat herself like this?
Also unwilling to speculate on the intentions of kind people, Xi Lan searched around and found her cloth bag on the bedside, with all the contents inside, the money given to him by relics and Zixu Yuan, she took the money When I got out, I went to the simple kitchen and handed it to Grandma Yu: "Mother-in-law, I can't thank you enough for saving my life. This is all I have on me. Take it to the doctor and buy medicine!"
But she didn't want to, Grandma Yu pushed her back, with pain on her face, "Girl, I can see that you are not an ordinary person, and I have selfish intentions in saving you."
She was a little surprised, but in an instant, they all disappeared in her faint eyes.
Grandma Yu checked the outside of the house and made sure that Xiao Sun was not there, so she said: "I have suffered all my life. Back then, when my son went to the capital to sell melons, he bumped into a nobleman in the capital and was seriously injured. He passed away within a few days after he came back. His wife couldn't bear the blow, so she committed suicide, leaving me, an orphan old woman, with a granddaughter to depend on each other. Life is fine, but I am old and sick, and time is running out. What I can't let go of is my granddaughter. If I leave, she is so young, what should I do? Maybe it's because I have never done anything wrong in my life, and Guanyin Bodhisattva has pity on me. I have been dreaming a few days ago, dreaming of a fairy Riding a white horse to pick up my granddaughter, isn't this you?"
It turned out that Grandma Yu once had such a dream, and that's why they got married.
However, Xi Lan suddenly became embarrassed.
"Grandma, it's not that I don't want to help you, it's just that I can't protect myself now..."
There was a hint of disappointment in Granny Yu's eyes, as if she also realized that she was a bit too strong for others.
Xi Lan was also not at ease, she thought for a while, "Otherwise, mother-in-law, you wait for me, if I can pass this hurdle, I will definitely come back again."
"Really?"
"Really!" She didn't know whether she would fulfill this promise, but she didn't want to let the kind old man down.
Because she was afraid of hurting the mother-in-law and grandson, she didn't plan to stay longer, packed her things, and rode away.
Grandma Yu and Xiao Sun stood in front of the thatched hut and waved goodbye to her. She rode across the field, intending to take a detour back to the that Zhu Xiurong has the Four God Beads, she will definitely come to her, and she doesn't plan to hide, whether it's for Xu Yuan or her father, she wants to find a way to deal with the enemy, so the only thing she can think of is Li Huai .
"Why don't you hide? Why don't you hide?"
"as you wish--"
No matter what kind of person Li Huai is, he at least gave her a way to survive, and let her take away the bodhi beads that can last until his death.
She was so stupid that she didn't even notice that he was using this method to prove to her that he was not what she thought.
But he had to wait until this moment to understand the stubbornness that refused to bow his head in his haughty soul...
At this moment, Xi Lan rode through the bamboo forest and arrived at a small hillside. She deliberately slowed down and looked back at this quiet small village.
However, she saw that deep in the field, there was thick smoke rising to the sky. She looked solemn, and after looking carefully, she was sure that it was Xiaosun's home. How could it be on fire just after she left?
She didn't think much, they saved her life, she couldn't leave them there like this, so she turned her horse and ran back came to the hut, the fire was still intensifying, and in front of the fire, there was a person lying on the ground.
"Mother-in-law!" Xi Lan scared the horse, and quickly ran to Grandma Yu. There was blood on the corner of Grandma Yu's mouth, and there were no obvious injuries on her body, but her internal organs were seriously injured, and she was left don't need to ask for proof, you know that you were injured by a powerful force.
"Mother-in-law!" When she saw the kind old woman who had saved her life like this, she burst into tears of anger and sadness, "I still hurt you!"
Grandma Yu didn't blame her, but seeing that she was able to come back, her eyes were filled with relief. "Small bamboo shoots—"
After speaking, he died!
"Grandma! Grandma! Grandma!" Xiao Sun's cry came from behind, Xi Lan put down Grandma Yu's body, and slowly got up with anger in her eyes.
In front of her, a minion of the Zhu family held Xiaosun and looked at her with a smirk.
Xiao Sun saw her grandma lying on the ground, crying sadly. "Sister! Sister!"
"Don't hurt her!" she warned loudly.
Then a few more people came out from around, and among them was a child with a hint of complacency on his gloomy face. "Long Xilan, where else can you escape this time?"
"Zhu Xiurong, why are you coming at me? You can do such insane things as killing old people and children, aren't you afraid of thunder?"
If she had the ability, she wished she could tear this old man into pieces. At the same time, she hated herself even more for her incompetence, for letting all the good people die because of her, but she did nothing!
Zhu Xiurong said with a dignified and virtuous attitude: "Thunder strikes? In this world, there must be someone to maintain peace. Our Zhu family has rescued so many people over the past thousands of years. It's okay to die occasionally. What? They are old, weak, sick, and disabled, and living is nothing but suffering, so I might as well give them a ride..."
Long Xilan clenched her fists tightly. Even if she was not seriously injured, she still didn't have enough strength to fight this old man. What should she do now?Could it be that he just watched Xiaosun die miserably at the hands of the enemy?
Suddenly, she took off the Yihua bead around her neck, "Don't you want the divine bead? I'll give it to you!"
As soon as Zhu Xiurong saw the divine bead, his eyes changed, and he wanted to seize it.
She made a condition and said, "Zhu Xiurong, you let that child go, and I am here. You are so powerful, why bother to kill a child to make yourself guilty? It is enough for you to kill me!"
The other party smiled evilly. A child really has nothing to worry about, but he will not let anyone go: "Do you know? You must never leave such a hidden danger for yourself just because you can't bear it for a while!"
After hearing this, she immediately scolded angrily: "Zhu Xiurong, do you still have humanity? You won't let such a small child go?"
The other party waved to his subordinate indifferently, and that person carried Xiao Sun to the side of the fire, as if he wanted to burn Xiao Sun to death!
Xi Lan knew that Zhu Xiurong was a dignified man who killed people like hemp, but this is simply the anger of man and god!
She wanted to run over to stop her, but the Yihua Orb in her hand was sucked by the other party. She didn't care that Zhu Xiurong would have the five-color beads soon, so she quickly made a detour to save Xiaosun, but soon, there were several other Zhu's lackeys surrounded her, and she fought with several people with wounds. After she had dealt with these people, she went to find Xiaosun, but unexpectedly found that beside the fire house, there was only the big man holding Xiaosun just now. Falling to the ground, apparently dead, Xiaosun actually disappeared in this short period of time?
Who killed the big man?Where did the little bamboo shoots go?
At this time, Zhu Xiurong had already fused the Yihua beads into five-color beads. Seeing that all these subordinates had died in Xi Lan's hands, he flew over angrily to deal with her. Xi Lan only felt a powerful force coming towards him from behind. When the strike came, she subconsciously blocked it with her arm, but the power was consumed in front of her!
Both of them were very surprised. Xi Lan lowered her arm to look and found that it was the relic.
Zhu Xiurong looked at her suspiciously, "What else do you have on you?"
His ability is already so powerful, how can there be anything in this world that can consume the power of his five-color beads?
"Bodhi relic!" He also guessed it immediately, with excitement in his eyes, "It's changed! It's changed! Hahahaha!"
Actually changed?What changed?Long Xilan took two steps back holding the relic. Although the relic had consumed the power of his five-color divine beads, it was not enough to deal with him.
"You still don't know who you are?" Zhu Xiurong asked her, anyway, her life was his, and she was not in a hurry for this moment.
"who am I?"
"Zhu Xiurong!" A male voice suddenly sounded, startling the two of them.
Xi Lan looked over and found two people walking quickly in the field.
One is Long Xingtian, and the other is as thin as Long Xingtian, with a silver-white goatee and cold eyes. Xi Lan immediately guessed that this is the master of Ping An, named Zhuge Niancong , and Zhuge Nianci are brothers and sisters.
Zhu Xiurong saw the faces of the two clearly: "You——"
"father!"
"Zhu Xiurong, how many Taoists do you have to kill before you give up?" Zhuge Niancong shouted righteously.
"Hmph, you two pedantic jars came just in time, lest you come out to do bad things to the old man in the future, today the old man will send you up together, just in time for you father and daughter to have a companion on Huangquan Road!"
Long Xingtian and Zhuge Niancong also came prepared, they hurried to the vicinity, and when they drew their swords, they threw out a lot of white powder, Zhu Xiurong was stained with the powder, howled a few times in annoyance, and waved his sleeves wildly, as if Bewildered by the powder, I couldn't see the surrounding scene.
Seeing this, Xi Lan took out the knife on her lap, intending to get to know the old man.
"Xi Lan, run!" Long Xingtian shouted.
She didn't know why her father didn't let her kill Zhu Xiurong, but she also listened to him, and quickly ran to Long Xingtian's side, and asked doubtfully, "Father, why didn't you kill him now?"
"We sprinkled the ashes of Daoist Qingfeng's golden body from Nanxian Mountain. We can only temporarily restrain him. Now we don't have the ability to kill him, so let's go!"
The three of them walked outside quickly, her Xiaobai was still there, seeing Xiaosun standing in front of the horse, she breathed a sigh of relief, it turned out that her father had saved Xiaosun in advance.
Zhuge Niancong said: "It's not too late, let's go!"
So, the three of them got on the horse, and Xiao Sun rode the same horse with her, and quickly fled to the southeast.
And Xi Lan rode around for a long time, and her injury became more serious, but she was afraid of dragging her father and senior Zhuge, so she kept holding back and didn't say anything.
Long Xingtian noticed that his daughter's face was turning blue early on, so he deliberately slowed down, and said: "Xi Lan, hold on for a while..."
Zhuge Niancong also stopped, came over to feel her pulse, and said: "She is damaged inside and out, not only Zhu Xiurong hurt her, but also the evil spirit of Long Ningzhu in her body!"
"Father, Senior Zhuge, I'm fine. I've gotten through that evil aura many times, and I've survived it. It's the same this time!"
The two didn't think so, but they didn't dare to stop.
Long Xingtian looked at the road ahead in the dark, and in order to lighten her burden, he hugged Xiaosun who had already fallen asleep from exhaustion.
Zhuge Niancong said: "Keep going, once you get to the sea, Zhu Xiurong won't be able to find her!"
In this way, Xi Lan persisted and walked forward for more than a hundred miles. She really tried her best and fell into a coma again.
In a daze, she heard the sound of the waves and the beating of the oars on the water, and she was relieved. It seemed that they had reached the sea!
"Father, father..." She called twice, but she didn't hear the other party's answer, so she opened her eyes hard, and saw a handsome man sitting on the bow of the boat. He was wearing a pure white robe, surrounded by the fog on the sea. Surrounding him, like a fairy cloud, it is invisible.
"Li Huai..." Although she was suffering physically, she was happy in her heart. She saw him again!
Then she immediately realized that Li Huai would not really be here, this must be her dream.
"You came to my dream again!"
"Yes, this is your dream!" The fairy-like man at the bow echoed softly.
She lay powerlessly in the cabin, opened her eyes and looked at his side face, which reflected the ripples of the water surface. In the dream, he couldn't see a trace of evil spirit. She always thought that was what he looked like 2000 years ago.
"Li Huai, I'm in so much pain!"
She is so strong, but she only dared to admit this to him in her dream. Obviously, the torture of this pain made her weak-willed. In the past, so many times her life was hanging by a thread, she insisted on living because She wants to guard him, afraid that he will face the world alone, but now that she has lost the qualification to have that obsession, she has shaken the idea of living.
"I'm so tired! I'm so tired!" She said deeply, the man looked at her pitifully, soft waves brushed her cheeks, she smiled slightly, and gently closed her eyes.
Father Long, who stood by her side, saw that her aura was fading away, and said with a sad face, "Brother Zhuge, I'm afraid she won't be able to survive this time!"
Zhuge Niancong was rowing the oar behind him, and when he heard Long Xingtian's voice, his expression changed. He stopped, came to the boat tent, and planned to take another life-extending pill to pay her.
"It's already the third one. This life is about to die, and it's useless to take more life extension pills!" Long Xingtian lowered his head, as if complaining to himself: "This child has never lived a few days comfortably. In life, when she was able to walk, I started to teach her to recognize symbols and practice martial arts. If I knew she would not escape this fate, why did I bother to let her learn these things back then? It would be better to let her be as happy and free as Xiaofeng..."
Didn't it be because he knew that her life was going to be rough that he wanted to teach her to be a brave and strong person? He thought that by doing this, he would be able to face the dangers of the world with strength, but it was all in vain.
Seeing his old friend so sad for his daughter, Zhuge Niancong wanted to comfort him, but facing the parting of life and death, what they could use to comfort him was no longer able to smooth out the pain!
"Xi Lan!"
"Huh?" She was about to lose this dream, but when she heard that familiar voice calling her, she opened her eyes again, and saw that Li Huai had sat beside him, and at some point in her hand, there was a little more. Put the erhu.
"Shall I play another song "Xi Lan" for you?"
She was powerless to respond, and then heard the chord sound like the sound of heaven, floating in the small boat on the mirror-like sea, she actually listened quietly to the end!When she opened her eyes again, she felt much better!
"It sounds so good!" After she finished speaking, what she saw was no longer Li Huai, but Long Xingtian's worried face.
"Xi Lan..."
"Father..." She called softly, it turned out that she had already had a dream, and Li Huai naturally disappeared!
Seeing his daughter waking up, Long Xingtian felt a hint of relief in his eyes, "Xi Lan, what did you say that sounds really nice?"
Although she woke up, her body was still weak, "Father, I saw Li Huai in my dream, and he played an erhu for me."
Everyone else in the boat could hear her words clearly, and both of them seemed to know something, but at this time, no one mentioned it.
"Father, where are we going?"
"Happy Island."
There was light in Xi Lan's eyes, and that was the place where she attained enlightenment and became immortal 2000 years ago.
"You are seriously injured like this. There is no other place that can be better than here. There is one more thing..."
"What else?"
Father Long stared at the looming island shadow in the distance, and replied softly: "Your soul is incomplete, and there is still a soul in Huanpo's place. We are here to return your soul when we go to the island this time."
She was naturally surprised when she heard this, and immediately asked, "Aren't I a child of illusion? How did my soul come from?"
Because she was too emotional, she pulled her wound so painfully that she could hardly breathe.
Father Long comforted her and said: "It's almost there, when the soul returns to its place, you will understand everything!"
So she could only wait patiently. When the dark night came, the stars all over the sky were imprinted on the sea, as if putting on a beautiful coat for the sea; the pain of the body.
Xiaoyao Island is an island surrounded by fairy spirit. Once you come here, you will feel refreshed.
On the horse, Xiao Sun sat on Father Long's horse and asked curiously, "Where is this place?"
"This is where the gods live..."
They kept walking, passed through the bamboo forest floating in the fairy clouds, walked through the valley where the spiritual light flickered, and finally stopped in front of a fairy mansion surrounded by fairy energy. : Looking at Sendai.
It is the high platform overlooking the immortals. Xi Lan has heard of this place in many ancient books. It is said that this is the closest place to the immortal world.
But at this moment, outside the Immortal Mansion, there was a barefoot boy waiting long ago. The boy said: "The distinguished guests have finally arrived. Mother-in-law has been waiting for you for a long time."
They got off their horses, Xi Lan was supported by Father Long, and slowly went up to are a total of 290 nine-stone steps leading to Wangxiantai. One can imagine how difficult it is for her to climb up.
At Wangxiantai overlooking the vast sky and sea, she saw the imaginary grandma again. This time, grandma Huan was holding a golden mirror in her hand, waiting for her arrival with kind eyes.
Daddy said that she had a soul left at Grandma Huan's place, that's why she came here.
"Come, come here!" Huanpo waved to her, Father Long let go of her, she stood still, and walked forward resolutely.
The illusion asked her: "Child, the illusion of the old body can not only extend life, but also reflect people's past and present lives. Do you want to take a look at yourself in the mirror?"
She looked at the mirror obsessively, and asked blankly: "Past and present? Do I have past and present?"
The old man smiled deeply, and held the mirror in front of her, "Just take a look and you'll know!"
She obediently walked to the illusion, and there was a beautiful woman standing in the mirror, she had a pair of smart big eyes, and she was smiling at her.
Xi Lan touched her face in panic, she remembered what she looked like, the woman in the mirror was not her.
But, where did she see it, yes, she must have seen it somewhere...
