After feeling someone’s source of energy wavering away,
Ran Qingmo took his hand off Xu Yuan's mouth, looked at him and asked softly:
"Why would she come to you like this? This is already the seventh time."
Xu Yuan also had a strange expression on his face and shook his head gently:
"I'm not sure. Maybe it's to put an anchor on my body. After all, that was the purpose of her coming to me in the first place."
"oh"
Ran Qingmo's eyes flickered, and he didn't know whether he believed it or not, but he didn't say anything.
And at this time,
The remnant soul of the saint's voice sounded in Xu Yuan's heart with a joking tone:
"Hey boy, are you sure that girl is just setting up an anchor point? It's been almost ten years."
Xu Yuan glanced at the person on his index finger and said in his heart:
"if not?"
The remnant soul of the saint smiled and said:
"Didn't you bully others in a way that didn't require cultivation? From what you just described, it seems like you guys have been in the illusion for quite a long time."
Xu Yuan lowered his eyes slightly, remained silent for a moment, and shook his head gently:
"Huang Liang is just a dream."
The remnant soul of the saint has some profound meaning:
"As long as you're still human, you can't escape the word love. Your dream lasted so long, it's deep enough."
Xu Yuan shook his head: "No matter how long it takes, it will just be a dream. Old man Luo, will you fall in love with the person in your dream?"
The remnant soul of the saint laughed softly: "I have never had a dream since I became a soul. I have long forgotten what it feels like."
"Quicksand on your fingertips."
"Um?"
"I said, things in dreams are like quicksand between fingers." Xu Yuan looked at the direction where the fluctuation of Yuan Qi disappeared.
The remnant soul of the saint observed Xu Yuan's breath, said nothing and fell into silence.
Xu Yuan said no more and walked forward on foot, thinking about the memories in his dream.
It was a big dream. When I first woke up, the scenes and emotions in the dream kept wandering around in my heart, making people mistakenly believe it to be true. But as time goes by, the memories and emotions in those dreams fade quickly with time.
These memories are like quicksand between my fingers.
The more you recall them, the faster they fade away.
In reality, few people can remember what happened on a certain day a few years ago, let alone in a dream-like illusion. Xu Yuan has almost completely forgotten the beginning of the illusion, and even the second half of the illusion can only be remembered. Some fragmentary memories remain.
Thinking, Xu Yuan slowly raised a hand.
A subtle surge of energy.
A blood-colored spiral bone drill as thick as a toothpick appeared in the palm of his hand, turning into a blood-colored stream of light and moving rapidly between his palm and fingertips.
Like an arm using a finger.
After a few breaths, he took a deep breath, tightened his grip, and the spiral bone drill instantly turned into a bloody source of energy and dissipated in the air.
Looking at this scene, Xu Yuan lowered his eyes.
It has nothing to do with memory, but some physical habits have remained.
After walking a distance in silence, Xu Yuan suddenly raised his eyes and looked at the place where the talented girl Tian Yan Yuanqi had disappeared, with a slightly complicated expression in his eyes.
In fact, he could probably think of why this woman Tian Yan was so angry.
Although most of the memories are not clear and only a vague impression remains, the events in the last moments of the illusion are still quite clear.
After replaying the scene of the Qionghua Sect's destruction, he and Tian Yan suddenly appeared in front of the house on the hillside.
It was the place where he and Tian Yan lived in Qionghua Sect.
The wind was blowing on the grass and the wheat waves were blowing. Yuchu stood under the peach tree outside the courtyard, waiting for them.
Xu Yuan couldn't remember Yuchu's appearance clearly. He only remembered that she was a woman with a smile as bright as a peach blossom.
She was relieved, even longing for her impending death.
In front of the familiar courtyard, Yuchu answered many of their questions.
She gave them a detailed explanation about everything in the illusion, including the fact that after leaving the illusion, the memories in these illusions will disappear.
Standing under the blooming peach tree, Yuchu looked at the two of them with a soft smile on his lips:
"You will probably forget what happened in the fantasy. It's like a beautiful dream."
beautiful dream
It is indeed a beautiful dream.
His thoughts were scattered, Xu Yuan's lips slightly raised, but then he sighed again.
At the end, when he asked Yu Chu to trap Tian Yan in the illusion, she next to him went crazy as he expected.
Very angry, very angry.
Thinking about it now, Xu Yuan felt that she probably thought it was betrayal at that time.
Thinking of this, Xu Yuan sighed and shook his head.
Oh, you can completely remove the outline. That kind of behavior was betrayal at that time.
Outright betrayal.
According to memory,
At the end of the fantasy, even he himself thought it was betrayal emotionally, and was extremely reluctant to do that kind of thing.
But reason still made him do it.
This benefited from the girlfriends I had in my previous life from junior high school to before time travel.
Xu Yuan has always been very rational about love.
He doesn't really believe in such things as one person, one life, and two people.
Therefore, Xu Yuan does not regret his choice to run away, and is even somewhat glad that he was not influenced by those "illusory" feelings.
Because now, four days later, the joy, sadness, pity and other emotions in the fantasy have almost dissipated like quicksand between fingers.
Yuchu didn't lie to him,
This is indeed a beautiful dream.
But now that I have woken up from the dream, everything should be over.
The sun was setting in the west, and the blood-red sunset spread across the snow-covered forest.
A tin porcupine strolled leisurely through the snowy forest, leaving tiny footprints on the snow behind it.
"boom!"
Suddenly, there was a faint sound of footsteps in the forest in the distance.
Before the sound came, a dark shadow had already passed by.
As she waved her sword in black clothes, the half-foot-long iron-skinned porcupine fell to the ground.
Seeing this scene, Xu Yuan slowly walked out from a distance.
The iron-skinned wild boar is not a strong one, it is a monster beast of about six levels, but now Xu Yuan can kill it by crossing the rank.
But for the sake of safety, even if he wanted to test his current strength, he still held back.
He wanted to use Yuan Qi, but Ran Qingmo didn't use it.
Although the source energy shock caused by the seventh-grade full-strength attack is not too big, who knows if that woman Tian Yan will follow this source energy to find her.
Arriving at the scene of the "murderous crime", Xu Yuan lowered his eyes and took a look.
The iron-skinned porcupine was dead. Although Ran Qingmo used a sword butt, he still smashed the porcupine's skull into pieces.
Before there was any blood, Xu Yuan immediately took it back into the storage ring.
This is a bloody lesson.
For some reason, the monster beasts in this area of the Wanxing Mountains have become frighteningly dense these days.
If you see blood, you will soon be tracked by other monsters.
Xu Yuan didn't know this at first, so he killed a Thunderwing wolf at the entrance of the cave and lit a fire to barbecue on the spot. As a result, he was soon chased by other monsters.
But he didn't panic at that time. After all, Ran Qingmo and Old Man Luo were both nearby, and they could just kill as many monsters as they came.
But as time goes by, the situation at the entrance of the cave becomes more and more wrong.
The more monsters you fight, the more monsters you fight.
In the end, hundreds of monsters of all kinds gathered to surround them. In the end, it was Ran Qingmo who took the risk and used Yuan Qi to escape from the pile of monsters.
After the hunting was over, the two of them returned to the cave they had carved out with their swords.
After placing the special Xuncao at the entrance of the cave to prevent the smell of blood from dissipating, Xu Yuan began to process the ingredients, while Ran Qingmo sat quietly and watched him. After all, cultivation will also produce fluctuations in source energy.
While handling the ingredients, Xu Yuan whispered:
"We should be able to go out in about two to three days."
As the days passed by when he and Ran Qingmo wandered around the Wanxing Mountains, the number of times he could sense the fluctuations of Tian Yan's source energy became less and less.
From seven times in three days at first, to once every two days now.
The Wanxing Mountains are too big.
In the past few days, it was because the area Tian Yan was looking for was relatively small. However, as time went by and Xu Yuan and Ran Qingmo gradually moved away from the exit of the teleportation array, the area Tian Yan was looking for naturally became larger.
He and Da Bingtuozi should be close to the tracking range of the washboard saint.
"Oh," her answer was as curt as ever.
Xu Yuan was also used to the other party's lack of words. While applying the dipping sauce, he said to himself:
"This Wanxing Mountain Range is also strange. Why are there so many monster beasts nearby? I didn't see so many monster beasts last time I came here."
Ran Qingmo thought for a while and shook his head:
"Well I don't know either."
Xu Yuan glanced at her funny and said:
"I didn't ask you either."
"Then who are you asking?"
"."Xu Yuan.
"Just talking casually."
Xu Yuan coughed lightly, and while skinning the wild boar in a clear language, he whispered: "I remember that you seemed to have a map of the Wanxing Mountains there before?"
"There were before." Ran Qingmo said.
"What now?" Xu Yuan vaguely felt something.
"threw."
"Why throw it?"
"Because the luggage bag can't fit in it." Ran Qingmo glanced at him slightly strangely.
Xu Yuan sighed, silently peeled off the entire skin and put it aside, making a decision:
"We will walk northwest for half a day and completely get rid of Tian Yan, then turn around and walk east back to Dayan. There are so many monsters around here, and I don't know if there is any action from Gu Yuan."
Ran Qingmo frowned slightly: "Do you suspect that someone else in Gu Yuan wants to attack you?"
Xu Yuan shook his head:
"Because of Ji Qingyue's incident, Xu Changge went to Gu Yuan to kill the eldest princess of the snake demon clan. He was able to come back unscathed. Those old monsters in Gu Yuan have probably compromised. Gu Yuan should not attack me in the short term. I'm afraid of harming Chiyu, this Wanxing Mountain Range can be regarded as half of the private land on the Guyuan side."
"Oh." Ran Qingmo nodded as if he understood: "Then what do you think it will be?"
Xu Yuan smiled slightly and shook his head:
"I don't know. I haven't seen any high-level monsters yet. It's just a group of low-level monsters wandering around here."
Saying,
Xu Yuan glanced out of the cave along the entrance and sighed: "I don't know if a ruthless demon can come to force Tian Yan away. It's been hanging around in my head every day. It's just a dream. Are you so angry?"
When Ran Qingmo heard this, he hesitated slightly and asked in a low voice:
"Um...Xu Yuan, will Tian Yan figure out our location?"
Xu Yuan shook his head: "No, she can't figure it out. I'm unpredictable, so he can't figure me out at all."
Ran Qingmo shook his head: "No, I mean she deduced my position."
Xu Yuan was stunned for a moment, but immediately denied the question and said:
"It's still unlikely. Yantian Jue can't deduce others at will. Even if it's just to deduce a person's position, it requires a lot of preparation."
"oh"
Ran Qingmo nodded, but then asked in a low voice: "Um, what happened when you were in the dream?"
Xu Yuan looked up in surprise, but what he met was her eyes as clear as a deep pool.
After a second of silence, Xu Yuan smiled:
"It's nothing, I just lived with Tian Yan in the illusion for more than ten years."
"Over ten years?"
"Um."
"oh."
After saying that, Ran Qingmo stopped talking and silently took out his black sword.
Just when Xu Yuan was surprised.
"Buzz——"
The sword blade suddenly came out of its sheath and danced in the air with a dazzling sword flower. Putting the sword blade on his lap, Ran Qingmo lowered his eyes and quietly wiped it carefully for maintenance.
"."
Xu Yuan stared at her with her eyes lowered for a few breaths. After not seeing any emotion, he shook his head gently.
Swords all need maintenance, and it is normal for Ran Qingmo to do so.
In silence, time passes little by little.
The aroma of meat gradually filled the cave, and along with the sound of "sizzling", pieces of fat and thin porcupine meat were roasted on the bonfire until the oil dripped from the meat.
Although there is no need to eat to be strong in the fantasy world, but if there is no sense of ritual in life, what is the difference between it and the dead?
After running for his life in the illusion for more than ten years, most of the time was spent in the wilderness. As a result, Xu Yuan's skills in making this kind of monster and wild game improved a lot.
Ran Qingmo subconsciously stopped wiping the sword blade, stared at the barbecue with his beautiful eyes, and lightly pursed his red lips.
In the more than a month since he left Jingjiang City, this big ice lump has also been transformed by him.
You can skip it, but it’s not necessary.
Xu Yuan took out a little seasoning from the Xumijie and sprinkled it on the meat pieces that were splashing with oil and water. He flipped it over and grilled it, then took out a bunch of it and handed it to the eager big ice dumplings:
"Come."
"."
Ran Qingmo blinked his eyes, reached out and took it silently, holding the bamboo stick in one hand and holding it underneath with the other. He blew a few small breaths, then opened his small mouth and ate it in small bites under Xu Yuan's gaze.
Mouth full of oil.
Xu Yuan casually handed her a handkerchief and said with a soft smile: "Eat slowly."
"good"
Ran Qingmo licked the oil stain on her red lips, adding a touch of softness to her cold and dust-free face. She wanted to reach out to take it, but found that there were oil stains on both hands, and looked at the brocade handkerchief with some hesitation.
Xu Yuan smiled slightly:
"I'll help you."
Under her quiet gaze, he naturally reached forward and wiped the grease from the corner of her mouth.
between looking at each other,
A pleasant and smiling female voice came from beside the two of them:
"It's fun to eat. I want to eat too."
"Buzz——"
Before the words fell,
A cold light transformed from the sword blade passed in front of Xu Yuan without any warning, and he swung his sword in the direction of the sound.
"Certainly."
The words fell,
The blade freezes instantly.
The cave was silent except for the crackle of the bonfire.
Only then did Xu Yuan realize what had happened before him and looked sideways.
I saw,
In the flickering firelight,
A beautiful girl with bare feet was standing quietly beside him, staring down at him.
A little late, two-in-one
I'm feeling dizzy today, it's a little late
