Flowers, grass, rocks, and mud mixed together to form a huge, turbid dragon that flew toward the eye of the storm together with countless uprooted trees.
In the eye of the storm, even Empress Zhuizhu, who was as powerful as half a spiritual-level warrior, would find it difficult to resist.
Under the terrifying traction of the ninth-level Tianyin Ten Thousand Spirits Explosion, her body in the eye of the wind curled up uncontrollably. Large swaths of the fine snake scales fell off from her body under the strong squeeze, and the pinkish demon blood It even spurted out from the broken flesh and blood.
In order to avoid being accidentally injured by the Tianyin Wanling Explosion he threw, Shen Yi also burst out to fly at his fastest speed. Soon, a loud bang exploded, causing him to temporarily lose his hearing in both ears, and the shock wave spread out. It even caused him to temporarily lose his balance in the air.
After he stabilized his body, Shen Yi looked back and saw blood mist mixed with sawdust flying all over the sky.
Even the blue sky was red.
With such a scene, she wouldn't be able to survive even if she borrowed two more lives from Huizhu Empress.
"Huh~" Shen Yi breathed a long sigh of relief, slowly landed on the ground, and let go of He Jian Chuyun.
"solve!"
Hejian Chuyun couldn't help but be lost in thought while looking at the huge messy pit. He noticed that she was in a daze, and Shen Yi urged: "Why are you in a daze? Go get the demon pill quickly."
"Oh! Uh-huh." After coming back to her senses, she nodded and jumped into the huge pit. Among the corpses scattered on the ground, she found a piece of the body left by the Bracelet Pearl Empress. Then she circulated the spiritual energy in her body and precipitated A demon pill as pure white as jade.
But Shen Yi flew to Empress Zhuozhu's lair, got into it decisively, and headed for the deepest Xuanteng blood marrow.
After waiting, he first dug out all the mummies that had been sucked into skinny bones, then took out the wooden barrel that had been prepared in the storage space, scratched the blood sac between the two "cups" with his claws, and used the wooden bucket to The bucket catches the liquid flowing out of it. The liquid is blood red and crystal clear, exuding a faint light, and looks like it is made of melted rubies.
After collecting every drop of Xuanteng's blood marrow, Shen Yi then extended his claws to the producer of the blood marrow, Xuanteng.
Xuanteng blood marrow is the essence secreted by Xuanteng after it grows to a certain extent. Xuanteng itself is also a genius treasure. Shen Yi naturally cannot let it go and cut them apart like a carrot. , throw it into the storage space.
However, later Hejian Chuyun came in and corrected Shen Yi. Not all the vines in the cave were mysterious vines. Most of them were ordinary vines as far as the eye could see. Not all of them could be used as real mysterious vines. It had to be that A vine that is completely black can be considered a mysterious vine.
Helpless, Shen Yi could only throw away all the vines that had been dug out before, and followed her to carefully identify them, looking for the real mysterious vines. This search lasted nearly two hours, and they dug out the nest of the Empress Huizhu. It was riddled with holes, and there were only six mysterious vines in total. The longest one was about as long as her arm, and weighed together weighed less than a pound.
But this was enough. Even if He Jian Chuyun didn't use it for alchemy, the shortest one could be sold for a high price of five to six hundred taels. As for the Xuan Teng blood marrow, Shen Yi took a bucket and a half of it. , take it to the black market auction, and if you are lucky, you can get tens of thousands of taels of silver.
After confirming that there was no Xuanteng in the cave, Shen Yi left the nest and left with Hejian Chuyun.
By the time we returned to the village, it was already dark.
In front of the village entrance, a large group of villagers gathered around with lanterns and torches. Shen Yi, who landed on the ground, was confused: "What's going on? Is it a festival today?"
After living in Daoguo Township for three months, Shen Yi was not familiar with the village, but he knew it well. At night, except for some people who would visit the village, most of them would stay at home, wash up and get ready for bed.
If the village wants to be lively at night, it will only be during festivals.
When Tsurumi Hatsuun was in coma, this was the day when the village welcomed the New Year. People in the village stayed up all night.
"Go and take a look first." He Jian Chuyun gestured to Shen Yi and walked over quickly.
As soon as he arrived, Meng Duanzhi in the crowd said, "Hey! Girl Jiang, where have you been?"
"I'm going to see Empress Zhuizhu."
"Oh...what? Who are you looking for?"
"Looking for Madam Huizhu."
"You...what are you doing with Empress Huizhu?"
Hearing Tsurumi Chuyun's answer, the villagers were shocked, and their eyes were on her.
And with a soft and relaxed smile on her face, she said: "I didn't do anything. I just went to negotiate with her. Empress Huizhu also promised me that she will not cause trouble in the village again in the future."
"real?"
"Xiao Jiang, don't lie to me!"
"I'm not lying to you. It's true. If you don't believe me, ask Xuan Li. He went with me."
The villagers looked at Shen Yi, and he nodded to them cooperatively.
Of course, the Bracelet Pearl Empress will never cause trouble to the village again, even if she wanted to, there would be no chance.
It’s already cold...
After receiving the confirmation, the villagers did not come back to their senses for a while, trying their best to digest the great news, and none of them spoke. At this time, Tsurumi Chuyun changed the topic and asked: "Well, you are gathered here. do what?"
Meng Duanzhi quickly said: "We just came back and we went out to look for someone."
"Looking for someone? Someone is missing again?"
"It's not a human, it's the horse that Orion kept in the shed that was stolen, and then all of us followed him outside to look for it."
"Do you know who stole it?"
Before the villagers could answer, someone from behind the crowd shouted.
"Why didn't you know that it was the stranger who stole it?" The man who called out had a bow and arrow on his back. He was the hunter in the village.
When He Jian Chuyun heard that the horse was stolen by a stranger, He Jian Chuyun was startled, and then turned to look at Shen Yi, who also looked at her.
After looking at each other for a few seconds, she turned around, and when she spoke again, her tone was a little cold.
"Did you find it?"
"No, I don't even know where to run."
"During the day, we saw someone fainting on the ground. We took the person back to Meng Duanzhi's house. When the Orion horse was lost, Meng Duanzhi went home to get his things and found that the person had run away."
"Forget it, it's just a horse. If anyone wants it, just give it to him and go back first."
"Girl Jiang, why don't you go home first?"
After chatting for a while, the villagers gathered in front of the village entrance dispersed after a while.
He Jian Chuyun didn't say anything and walked towards Aunt Liu's house in silence.
There was no one around, and Shen Yi said out loud on the way, "Didn't you say that man wouldn't run away?"
"I have no idea."
Shen Yi wanted to taunt, but before he could speak, he swallowed the words back.
Saying you knew it earlier, isn't this just hindsight?
Before looking for the Empress Zhuizhu, he also believed that Li Heng would not run away. After all, if he were a practitioner, in such a world, his cultivation would no longer improve, and he might even become an ordinary person. Such a price would be too high. .
It is like a person who met a blind fortune teller when he was a child. The blind man told him that when he grows up, he will work in poverty all his life and will not make any achievements.
Moreover, the blind man's calculations were quite accurate. If he said so, what happened next would also be the same.
It is very despairing to see everything in life at a glance but not be able to change it.
"If Li Heng ran away like this, would it really make him unable to improve his cultivation and stay stuck in his current state for the rest of his life?"
"Yeah." Tsurumi Chuyun nodded.
"How sure are you?"
"Ten percent, but I didn't expect that he would actually..."
"Oh, I'll go, we'll meet a ruthless person, right?"
He saw that Chuyun didn't speak anymore, and his heart was full of depression and uneasiness.
When she and Shen Yi entered the yard, when they saw Aunt Liu pouring water into the water tank, she said, "Daughter, I'm back."
"Well... let me help you, ma'am."
"No, no, the food is ready and I've left it for you. Go ahead and eat. I'll just take care of the things here."
Aunt Liu put down what she was doing as she spoke, and pushed Tsurumi Chuyun into the main room. The food on the table was still warm, and Xiong Yingchun sat aside and smoked a pipe.
Seeing He Jian Chuyun, he raised his head and waved and said, "Girl, come in and eat quickly. If you don't eat, you'll get cold."
She had no choice but to pick up the dishes and sit down.
She was very quiet and didn't speak. During the meal, Xiong Yingchun asked: "What did you go out to do today?"
"Going to find Empress Zhuizhu."
"What are you doing with her? What if she hurts you?"
"It's okay, I told Madam Huizhu about something."
"What did you say?"
Tsurumi Hatsuun repeated the reasons for going out that he had told people at the entrance to the village.
After hearing what she said, Xiong Yingchun nodded, but he seemed to notice that Tsurumi Chuyun was a little depressed, so he couldn't help but glance in the direction of Aunt Liu. The other party seemed to see something and shook her head at him.
Seeing this, Xiong Yingchun didn't ask any more questions and smoked his dry cigarette quietly.
It wasn't until she was full and ready to get up and clear away the dishes that Aunt Liu came over, pushed her back onto the chair, and sat across from her.
"Auntie, you..."
"I'll put it away later. Girl, are you worried?"
The aunt's heartfelt words reached her ears, causing Tsurumi Chuyun to fall silent. Thinking of Li Heng who was seriously injured and escaped from the village, her inner uneasiness became more intense.
Taking a deep breath, she seemed to have made up her mind, and soon heard her say: "Mom, I've been here long enough, I think... it's time for me to go..."
Xiong Yingchun and his wife were stunned when they heard this. They thought they had heard wrongly and were very surprised in their eyes.
The atmosphere was silent for two seconds, and finally Aunt Liu said: "You kid, why are you leaving so well? Auntie and your Uncle Xiong don't dislike you. Our whole family is happy when you live here. Isn't there food?" Is it delicious? Don’t worry, I’ll ask your Uncle Xiong to borrow some white flour from Mr. Qin’s house later and make steamed buns for you to eat. "
"No aunt, the food is delicious, but the elders in the family are still outside and still don't know where I am. I'm afraid they will be worried..."
"So that's it, but you suddenly went out and you couldn't find your elders for a while. How about waiting for a few days? Auntie will cook you a delicious meal and you can leave after eating?"
"Auntie..." Tsurumi Chuyun shook his head, but he didn't know what to say next.
Aunt Liu and Xiong Yingchun looked at each other, and finally there was a feeling of reluctance in their eyes. They now knew why Tsurumi Chuyun looked worried just now.
"Daughter, do you really want to leave?"
"Um."
"Have you considered a date to set off?"
"Just tomorrow morning."
"So early……"
"Uncle Xiong, I'm sorry, but I can't delay any longer." Tsurumi Chuyun said this very seriously. She really couldn't stay in Daoguo Township anymore. Li Heng didn't know where he went. Waiting for him to If her whereabouts are revealed to the outside world, her situation will become extremely dangerous.
Seeing that she had decided to leave, Xiong Yingchun could only nod her head, lowered her head and took two more puffs into the chimney, with a hint of separation between her brows.
And Aunt Liu wanted to stay a little longer, saying, "Are you really not going to stay here for a few more days?"
"Auntie, I have lived here for three months. It is time to leave. Don't worry. I will come back to see you when I find my elders."
"You are so far away in Beiluo. When you come back to see us, your Uncle Xiong and I will be buried in the grave."
Aunt Liu muttered, with some dissatisfaction in her tone, while Tsurumi Chuyun had a helpless smile on his face.
At this time, Xiong Yingchun stood up and shouted to Aunt Liu: "What nonsense are you talking about, you damn bitch? If the girl said she would come back to see us, she would definitely come back to see us, and the elders in her family couldn't be found anywhere. How anxious should she be?" ?" After saying that, Xiong Yingchun put the chimney against the wall, softened his tone, and said to Tsurumi Chuyun: "Have you thought about it? Are you leaving tomorrow?"
"Um."
Tsurumi Chuyun nodded stiffly.
"Well, if you want to leave, we won't keep you. I'll go to Liu Si's house first and bring your horse over. Once it's fed, you can ride it away tomorrow."
"Thank you, Uncle Xiong."
"Need not."
Xiong Yingchun waved his hand, picked up the torch, lit it and went out.
Aunt Liu stared at the bronze mirror on the cabinet in front of her in a daze for a while. When she came to her senses, she said to her with a lack of interest: "Okay, my dear, you go wash first and go to bed early. We'll call you tomorrow morning." stand up."
"...Hmm." Hejian Chuyun wanted to say something, but in the end he only responded. He stood up and was about to walk out. However, while carrying the bucket, Xiong Yingchun opened the courtyard door. The second she walked out of the courtyard, she vaguely heard A sigh came.
It was this sigh that reminded her of something, and she quickly turned around and called: "Auntie."
"Um?"
"Actually...I lied to you."
"What lied to us?"
"My name is not Jiang Yiyi, this is my fake name. My real name is Chuyun, from the Tsurumi clan of Yunqiu City, Hengzhou."
"Ah?" Following her words, Aunt Liu's mind became confused.
"You...your name is not Jiang Yiyi?"
"Um."
"Your name is...He, Hejian Chuyun...Hejian?"
"right."
"The Hejian clan of Yunqiu City, I have never heard of this. Not to mention that I heard about Hejian Thirteen from Master Qin when I was a child."
"Auntie, the Hejian Thirteen you are talking about is my ancestor. The first head of the Tsurumi clan was a real Northern Luo native. However, when the family was first established, my ancestor felt that the surname Hejian was too murderous and was scary to the public. So it changed into what it is today, Tsurumi, and the view is the view of seeing.”
"That's it." Aunt Liu suddenly realized, and after the surprise on her face, she sighed: "Master Qin said that Crane Sword Thirteen saved the lives of our ancestors three hundred years ago. I didn't expect you to be his descendant." , she waved her hand again and changed her tone: "But I don't want to care about what your name is. In my eyes, you are Jiang Yiyi."
Aunt Liu showed no concern at all, and Tsurumi Chuyun was relieved to see this.
But telling the other person her true identity was only the first step for her. Originally, she wanted to keep hiding it so that the name "Jiang Yiyi" would remain in their hearts, but when she thought of the future of the other person and Uncle Xiong, she had to Say no more.
She could leave, but she couldn't let the troubles outside spread to this peaceful and peaceful village just because of herself.
