After stepping through the swamp of death, Bai Lian'er came back to her senses and continued moving forward with Li Xiuyuan.
After a long silence, Li Xiuyuan asked: "Are you afraid of snakes?"
Bai Lian'er nodded, patted her chest and replied, "I'm not a senior sister. She's a dragon and won't be afraid... I didn't expect the scenery here to be beautiful..."
Li Xiuyuan thought to himself that the crow seemed to be afraid of this thing, and only Xiaodieer was bolder.
Thinking of this, a faint smile appeared on his face and he replied: "There is only black and white in my world, and I cannot see the beauty in your eyes."
"Oh, I almost forgot, you're blind."
Bai Lian'er glared at him angrily and said, "It's really boring. It seems that you are suitable to become a monk. It just so happens that you also have clean hair on your head."
"You are thinking too much." Li Xiuyuan thought for a while and asked: "Now, can you tell me, what exactly are you going to do when you take me through this place of death?"
Bai Lian'er stared at him for a long time, and after a while she hummed: "Why don't you swallow and refine the dragon ball that was about to turn into a dragon? Maybe it can help you condense your spiritual body!"
Shaking his head, Li Xiuyuan replied calmly: "I don't need such a thing to practice!"
Bai Lian'er stuck out her tongue when she heard this, stretched out her hand and said, "Since you don't need it, why don't you give it to me?"
Shaking his head again, Li Xiuyuan replied angrily: "Don't be greedy, I don't want this thing. My disciple can devour it and increase his cultivation."
Bai Xiaolian was stunned when he heard this, rolled his eyes, and said in a daze: "Is it possible that you will kill monsters whenever you see them, and then take away their inner elixirs?"
Li Xiuyuan was startled, thinking that along the way, any monster that didn't want his life was not as vicious as Bai Lian'er said.
Thinking of the past, he sighed softly and replied: "You are overthinking. I will not take the initiative to attack monsters unless they want my life."
Speaking of this, he remembered the story of Xiao Die'er along the way to Tianshui, and he couldn't help but sigh quietly in his heart.
Once upon a time, even Xiao Die'er could slay dragons and dragons.
Perhaps, under the guidance of Yun Tianhong in Meishan, Xiao Die'er can really return to Ding'an City. Then, will the entire wild world change because of Xiao Die'er?
Thinking of this, I thought about the spiritual peaches outside the bamboo forest again.
It’s not bad to think about it. God seems to give me some benefits every time he torments me.
Maybe it won't take long for Xiao Die'er to survive the disaster on Meishan Mountain, and so will Crow.
Seeing that Li Xiuyuan stopped talking, Bai Lian'er could only say: "At that time, my senior sister almost killed me... Maybe she was reluctant to let go, or maybe she couldn't do it..."
With a faint sigh, Bai Lian'er told Li Xiuyuan the reason why she had to cross the Death Swamp no matter what.
Then he asked quietly: "So, will you steal my baby?"
Li Xiuyuan shook his head subconsciously and replied calmly: "Well, I see... you are overthinking."
Suddenly he sighed, thinking about how many situations he had encountered along the way. How could he possibly take advantage of the white fox in front of him?
He said quietly: "There is no treasure in this world worthy of my care!"
"Really? Then you are really an idiot."
Bai Xiaolian sighed softly, then seemed to have thought of something, and said quietly: "Well, do you know that the black snake you beheaded wanted to swallow me and turn into a dragon in one day?"
Hearing this, Li Xiuyuan was slightly shocked.
He sighed and said: "I am not a monster. I have my own principles as a human being. As long as you don't hurt me, I will naturally not have any intention of harming you."
After hearing this, Bai Lian'er fell silent for a while, and then said after a while: "Do you mean that all people who practice Buddhism are the same as you?"
"I don't know, there are so many people practicing Buddhism in the world? How can I know other people's thoughts?"
Li Xiuyuan smiled bitterly and replied: "You can only distinguish between right and wrong."
After experiencing countless hardships, Li Xiuyuan, who returned to Tianxiang Academy again, is no longer the young man he was before, although he can seek justice from Wen Jianyi for a year.
But it doesn't mean that I have forgiven him. Some people are destined to never be friends.
Likewise, he didn't want his own choices to affect Bai Lian'er's judgment of human nature in the future.
Bai Lian'er didn't expect that Li Xiuyuan would respond to her like this. She couldn't help but be stunned, and then said: "Thank you, I will remember your words."
Waving his hand, Li Xiuyuan said to her: "Let's go! Finish your business early so that I can go back and rest."
Bai Lian'er nodded, looked at the sky that was gradually getting clearer, and replied, "Okay, let's go."
"When you go back to your hometown, let go of the past here. It's not worth it."
Inexplicably, Li Xiuyuan said something sentimental and sad: "You are not a mortal. You only have a short period of a hundred years. Only when you let go of the past can you embrace new life."
When Bai Lian'er heard this, she felt her heart tremble and she was speechless for a moment.
...
A gust of wind blew by, causing their clothes to fly up and down.
Like a statue, Bai Lian'er stood quietly in front of the stone wall, silently staring at the vague stone door in front of her in a daze.
The faint fragrance floats, and it turns out that it has been over a hundred years.
He stretched out his hand to touch it, but immediately pulled it back, and then sighed softly.
Looking at the vague stone door under the stone wall, Li Xiuyuan asked: "Is the thing you are looking for hidden in here? No accidents will happen, right?"
Standing in front of the stone gate, Bai Lian'er didn't speak, her face looked a little pale, and she just muttered something that Li Xiuyuan couldn't understand.
Slowly walking forward, Li Xiuyuan said: "Now that you are here, go in quickly, take out your things and leave."
Bai Lian'er's body trembled slightly and she stared at the stone door in front of her, but said nothing.
Nor did she reach out to open the restrictions that only she knew.
Suddenly, the two of them felt a slight trembling from the ground beneath their feet. Bai Lian'er's face changed slightly. Such trembling made her feel incredible.
The mountain in front of us is connected to the volcano not far away. If such a vibration occurs, it is either a precursor to a volcanic eruption, or a terrifying monster is coming.
Bai Lian'er was startled. When she thought about this, could there be some monsters coming to take advantage of her?
Thinking of this, Bai Lian'er stretched out her hand towards the stone door in front of her and said, "Why don't you go first, since I'm already here."
Li Xiuyuan shook his head. He knew that Bai Lian'er was afraid of hurting him.
He let out a long roar and said coldly: "Go and finish your own thing, I'm here!"
He had to do things to the end. Seeing that the matter had developed to this point, he was afraid that it would not be settled properly, even if the volcano erupted, so he decided to help Bai Lian get back his treasure first.
At this moment, a low roar came from the Death Swamp in the distance, like a big demon descending and roaring in the sky, with low roars coming from afar.
The strong wind blew their clothes loudly.
Amidst the roar, the ground suddenly trembled. Li Xiuyuan instantly understood that this was not a sign that the volcano was about to erupt, but that another monster was attacking.
At this moment, Bai Lian'er screamed: "No, this is that beast's companion, and he is coming to trouble me!"
When Li Xiuyuan heard this, he could only sigh quietly, thinking that this place was indeed a forbidden area in the Fire Realm. It was actually the same as the abyss of the Shura battlefield back then, and even the monsters were swarming in groups.
Feeling Bai Lian'er's fear, Li Xiuyuan said: "You go first into the cave, and I will deal with it."
Bai Lian'er nodded, stretched out her hand to press a palm seal on the stone wall, and turned it vigorously...
"Rumble..." came a sound.
The stone wall in front of the two people revealed a stone door less than three feet wide. A golden ray of sunlight fell from the sky and came to the stone door in an instant, illuminating a passage ahead.
Bai Lian'er looked at the stone door in front of her, took out a luminous pearl, and said to Li Xiuyuan, "I'm going."
After speaking, he gritted his teeth and seemed to have exhausted all his strength. He took a step forward and then slowly walked into the third door. Li Xiuyuan shouted: "Hurry up, don't waste time."
Stepping into this stone door, Bai Lian'er finally breathed a sigh of relief and replied: "I'm very fast, please help me hold that monster away for a while."
It seemed as if she was facing a critical moment of life and death, and she would face the final choice at the next moment. If she was disappointed, she would only die.
At this moment, there was no trace of sadness or fear on her face.
After waiting for a hundred years, she finally waited for this day. Regardless of whether her baby was still there, she accepted her fate.
Thinking of this, Bai Lian'er accelerated her steps and shouted: "I will be back soon..."
When Li Xiuyuan saw Bai Lian'er disappear at the entrance of the stone wall, he turned around and quietly took out the Samsara Sword.
This time he did not plan to use the bamboo sword to fight the enemy, because the atmosphere coming from the distance was wrong, it should be a monster even more terrifying than the previous one.
No matter what kind of monster comes, the Samsara Sword in his hand is enough.
A gust of wind passed by, and a fishy smell suddenly appeared in the air, along with the approaching... billowing miasma and rumbling sounds.
Li Xiuyuan subconsciously released his consciousness and looked forward.
The originally clear sky turned dark at this moment, as if a dark cloud had drifted from the sky to cover the sun, and Li Xiuyuan's consciousness was shrouded...
A thick black fog, carrying the thick miasma, filled the place where he was.
In the thick miasma, there were two faint vertical pupils that flashed like lightning, but Li Xiuyuan captured this terrifying aura.
He even had the illusion that the dragon ball that had been put away was also shaking gently.
Taking a deep breath, Li Xiuyuan gently stroked the Samsara Sword in his hand, silently watching the giant beast getting closer and closer to him.
"Buzz!" A clear cry came out.
He flicked his fingers on the Samsara Sword and said quietly: "I have already beheaded your companions, and you still want to die?"
"Boom!"
The ground beneath his feet shook even more violently, not to mention that Bai Lian'er had already entered the cave... the ground in front of him was also trembling at this moment.
This was a monster that was more terrifying than the black snake before. Its huge body crushed it all the way, causing flowers, trees and vines to shatter wherever it passed.
The scale armor on its body declares that it is invulnerable, and the two horns on its head indicate that it has stepped into the ranks of dragons and is no longer a black snake in the death swamp.
The Samsara Sword pointed obliquely at the monster beast that was getting closer and closer. Li Xiuyuan shouted sternly: "If you don't want to die, get out of here!"
Not to mention that he had killed a black snake in the miasma before, but this giant beast came to his door, a monster that had turned into a dragon. Li Xiuyuan still gave it a way to escape.
Because the miasma was too thick, only one part of the dragon's body was exposed. If the white fox was still there, it would probably scream again.
The black dragon shook his head, his huge body making the ground beneath him tremble.
A huge snake head in mid-air stared coldly at the young man who blocked the entrance of the cave, and let out a terrifying roar, as if to say: "You are blocking my way."
Li Xiuyuan snorted: "Want to go in? Defeat me first!"
