The underground passage connected the natural cave. I walked towards the cave for a long time, and finally swam along an underground river for two days before finally seeing the light of day again.
The underground river was not spacious, so Xiang Shu jumped a few times and landed on the shore. The midday sun shone on his body, and his body gradually warmed up after soaking in the water for two days.
She walked through the dense weeds by the river, and not long after traveling, she saw a spacious official road, with horse-drawn carriages and pedestrians, and the traffic was quite lively.
Xiang Shu looked slightly dazed as he watched the carriage pass by.
This time I escaped from death in a daze, everything was like a dream.
"Mom, there is a sister standing on the roadside."
"Shh! Keep your voice down, those are refugees! How many times have I told you that refugees are desperadoes, don't look at them..."
The sound of conversation in the carriage could be heard in the distance, and Xiang Shu suddenly came back to his senses, his eyes clear again.
The official road is crowded and very close to the city.
She observed for a moment, then simply blended into a group of refugees and followed them northward.
After walking for three days, Xiang Shu finally saw the outline of a city from a distance. But when he looked closely, he saw that the gate of the city was closed tightly. Countless refugees were stranded under the city wall. Many were lying in various places. There was a faint sound floating in the air. A slight corpse smell.
Xiang Shu frowned slightly, where is this place?
Since Lu Jin's death, the Blazing Flame Sect has sent a large number of disciples to search for immortal seedlings every year. It is strictly forbidden to massacre mortals, let alone wars in secular countries.
Therefore, within the territory of Blazing Flame Sect, it is common for monks to fight to the death among themselves, but it rarely affects mortals.
Based on this alone, Xiang Shen can be sure that this place is definitely not within the territory of Blazing Flame Sect.
Dong Jinghuan and others said that ghost streams can cause confusion. Could it be that the underground was actually a space passage, but she was confused by it, so she traveled to a very far distance without knowing it.
While he was thinking, Xiang Shu suddenly felt someone tugging at him.
She looked down and saw a girl with a sallow face and skinny skin pulling on her sleeves. She didn't look too big.
Seeing Xiang Shen looking over, the girl's black and white eyes showed a little fear, but she still mustered up the courage to raise the dark pancake in her hand and timidly said: "Here you go."
Xiang Shu was startled for a moment, then smiled softly: "I'm not hungry, you can eat."
"you're lying."
The girl puffed up her mouth and said, "I see you haven't eaten for two days, so you must be very hungry."
As she spoke, the girl patted her unusually bulging belly and insisted, "I'm very full now, and I'm about to arrive at Lingyi City. It doesn't matter if I'm hungry for a long time."
Xiang Shu raised his long eyebrows but said nothing.
The pancakes were moldy, but they were still a popular commodity, and people around gradually looked at them with malicious intent.
The girl was frightened, but she still managed to remain calm.
Wild children without adult supervision on the road to escape usually have only one end.
She had seen too much on the road, and even though she was young, she understood the truth early on. So after her parents died of starvation, she immediately went to meet her new parents.
At the beginning, she didn't understand anything and almost got cooked. Fortunately, she was saved by her new godfather and she has been able to get to where she is now. \./hand\./machine\./version\./no\./wrong\./first\./post~~
But just as Lingyi City was about to arrive, his godfather suddenly fell seriously ill.
For the past two days, she walked away in fear, constantly looking for new adults. But until his godfather died of illness, no suitable candidate was found.
In desperation, she could only choose Xiang Shu, who looked the most harmless.
At least this way, if she encounters a bad guy who eats her again like last time, she still has a chance to break free and escape.
But after waiting for a long time, she didn't see Xiang Shu take the pancake.
Failed.
The girl felt a little disappointed and was about to put down her hands and look for someone else, but suddenly a person came out from behind, snatched the pancake from her hand and ran away without saying a word.
"ah!"
The girl screamed in surprise and immediately covered her mouth when the people around her looked over, tears of grievance welling up in her eyes.
That was the last piece of cake, and she couldn't bear to eat it. How could she please the new adults when it was just taken away?
"What are you doing standing still?"
A voice came from behind, very soft, "If you don't follow me, I'm leaving."
When the girl heard the sound, she immediately turned around and saw Xiang Shu looking at her with a slight smile on his face. She was surprised and happy and immediately wiped her head. (The next page is more exciting!)
Dry tears and run over.
When she came to Xiang Shen's side, the girl slowed down, hesitated, and said, "I...I don't have any cakes for you."
"It doesn't matter."
Xiang Shen asked casually: "What's your name?"
"My original name is Tang Yin, and I am eight years old this year! My godfather changed my surname to Chen."
The girl nervously tugged at the corner of her clothes, but her words were clear and smooth: "Mom, if you want, I can take your last name."
"I can't bear the word mother."
Xiang Shen curled his lips and said, "As for your name, it's whatever you want to be called."
"Then...then my name is Tang Yin."
Little Tang Yin bit her lip and asked, "What should I call you?"
"what ever."
Xiang Shen said in an easy-going tone: "We will separate when we arrive at Lingyi City you mentioned."
Little Tang Yin nodded obediently and stopped talking.
Half a day passed in the blink of an eye, and Xiang Shen didn't stop. Maybe he saw that she was dressed differently and her complexion was pale, unlike ordinary people. No one had caused trouble in the past half day.
Xiao Tang Yin was glad that she had chosen the right person and followed behind, even though she was so hungry and dizzy, she didn't say a word.
"Lingyi City has arrived!"
Someone suddenly shouted from the front, and the team immediately became noisy, and the speed of forward movement accelerated a lot.
Little Tang Yin was also refreshed.
The Lingyi City my godfather talked about!
She didn't know where she got the strength to run forward, but she saw the team in front of her suddenly stopped.
She struggled to get to the front of the team, but she only saw the corpses of refugees lying on the ground, and her face turned pale instantly.
Didn't the godfather say that after arriving in Lingyi City, they wouldn't have to continue wandering? How could this be?
When she arrived at Lingyi City, her sister was leaving her. Without the adults around, she...
The more Xiao Tang Yin thought about it, the more desperate she became. Finally, she rolled her eyes and fainted.
I don't know how much time passed, but Xiao Tang Yin's eyelashes trembled slightly and she opened her eyes.
She looked at the stars in the sky and was confused for a moment. She immediately remembered what happened before and hurriedly stood up, only to see Xiang Shu sitting cross-legged next to her and not leaving.
Little Tang Yin suddenly felt relieved. Looking at the refugees occasionally walking around and the closed city gate in the darkness not far away, her face became gloomy again.
"woke up?"
Xiang Yu opened and closed his eyes, looked at Xiao Tang Yin, his eyes flashed, and asked: "I see that you are obsessed with Lingqi City, what did your elders say?"
Little Tang Yin hugged her knees and said in a low voice: "My godfather said that there are immortals in Lingyi City. When we get here, there will be immortals to help us and we will not suffer anymore. But..."
At this point, Xiao Tang Yin choked up and couldn't speak any more.
Xiang Shen's eyes narrowed slightly.
The city gate was closed, so she inquired among the refugees, but no one knew about the situation in the city. Instead, she got a few words from Xiao Tang Yin.
There are monks in Lingyi City, so you can't enter easily.
Her current physical condition was several times weaker than when she was in Xuanwang City. Not only were all her meridians necrotic, but her acupoints had also shrunk by nearly 80%. The demonic essence was raging, and nearly half of her flesh and blood had been devoured.
In other words, this body is only one step away from collapse. According to common sense, the physical body and the soul are in harmony, so he should have passed out long ago.
But now, apart from feeling pain, she is still energetic and lucid, which is really puzzling.
After waking up, she was confused by many things, but she was certain of one thing.
Xiang Shen's eyes were slightly cold.
Xiang Hongyu is not dead! Otherwise, the demonic essence of his body would have disappeared long ago, how could he have harmed her to such an extent.
Pursing his lips slightly, Xiang Shu continued to control the power of his sword to clear out the demonic essence in his body.
The power of the sword is not the sword's essence, it comes from the power of the mind.
Fortunately, it was a result of mental effort, otherwise with her current physical condition, all her true energy would have been lost, and there would be nothing she could do with the demon seed's true energy. ..
The sword power is not as efficient as the demon seed true essence, but it is worse than Xiang Shu's energy, and the conversion speed of the sword power is much higher than the demon seed true essence.
In half a day's walking, she had cleared more than half of the demonic essence in her dantian. Once she had to retrieve the dantian to repair it and refine the sword essence, the speed of clearing the demonic essence would be greatly accelerated and it would not take a few days.

You can regain most of your strength. \./hand\./machine\./version\./first\./issue\./update\./new~~
Before that, she had been among the refugees, which was much safer than walking alone.
"Gu Gu Gu Gu..."
This sound came so suddenly that Xiang Shen's thoughts were pulled back a lot, and his eyes returned to little Tang Yin.
Little Tang Yin clutched her stomach tightly and was so hungry that she was sweating all over her body, but she still gritted her teeth and said, "I...I'm not hungry at all! You just need to let me follow you and don't have to do anything else. I will leave on my own after entering the city."
Xiang Shu raised his long eyebrows slightly, then waved his sleeves, and the firelight suddenly became much darker.
Little Tang Yin had never seen such a magical scene before, and her eyes widened in shock.
"You and I have different experiences, but our will to survive is somewhat similar."
The voice seemed to ring in her ears. As Xiao Tang Yin listened, something suddenly appeared in her hand, which was round and fragrant.
"Swallow it and remember, don't get me into trouble."
When Xiao Tang Yin heard this, she immediately stuffed the thing in her hand into her mouth. She thought she would choke, but she didn't expect that the round thing melted in her mouth and turned into a stream of warmth directly into her stomach.
A warm feeling flowed throughout her body. Little Tang Yin had never felt so comfortable before, and she fell into a drowsy sleep. Her yellow skin became fairer at a speed visible to the naked eye.
Xiang Shen was slightly surprised. One spiritual pill could absorb 60% of the medicine's power. This little girl's spiritual roots were actually quite high.
She casually grabbed a handful of mud and sprinkled it on little Tang Yin's skin, covering it up with fair skin. She stopped caring about it and continued to understand the true essence of the demonic seed in her body.
A night of silence.
The next morning, Xiao Tang Yin woke up and immediately got up nervously. Seeing that Xiang Shu was still sitting in the same posture as last night, her expression immediately calmed down.
She touched her belly. The bulge and hardness seemed to have disappeared. She felt neither pain nor hunger. Her whole body felt indescribably comfortable.
Everything that happened yesterday was really not a dream!
She was full of joy, but she didn't show it on her face. She still pretended to be hungry. She sat obediently next to Xiang Shen without disturbing her. She just watched the refugees walking around, with a grimace on her face. Visible caution. .
