After the master's ascension

Wei Zhiyue never thought that he could open his eyes again.

His consciousness gradually came back, but his eyelids seemed to be heavy like falling stones.

He couldn't hear the sound of the outside world, nor could he smell the bloody smell that had been filling his nasal cavity before.

It seems that the whole person is wrapped in a sealed space, and the five senses are lost.

His fingers moved slightly, and he struggled to open his eyes.

The barrier was broken and air rushed in.

It's a faint medicinal smell.

A figure rushed over and helped him up.

Wei Zhiyue's head was still dazed, he leaned against the man's chest, and there seemed to be a sharp scratching sound in his ears.

What is the man talking about...

He couldn't hear at all.

But feeling the slight tremor of the chest when the man spoke, Wei Zhiyue was inexplicably relieved.

It's brother.

He closed his eyes and tried to adjust his breathing, trying to wake up.

……

Lu Wangyu almost lost his mind.

After he received Huanzhilu on the way, he immediately rushed back without stopping.

They had studied it before and found that the body jade puppet that enforced the contract could sense the position of Shiraishi's incarnation.

This is why Wei Zhiyue has the confidence to say "see you outside".

Now is the time for him and Nineteen Fragrances to rob people.

When he smelled an unusual smell of blood from a distance, he felt that something was wrong.

When he suppressed his beating heart and hurried to the battlefield, he happened to see the last scene of Wei Zhiyue kneeling to receive the knife.

The last string that Lu Wangyu fell on was broken.

……

After a while, the Spirit Gathering Formation placed next to it took effect, emitting a glistening white light.

Wei Zhiyue's expression finally eased.

He opened his eyes again, although his eyes were tired, they were already clear.

His voice was so hoarse that he grabbed Lu Wangyu's clothes and asked, "Brother, is Li Xiang okay?"

Lu Wangyu looked at him with red eyes, gritted his teeth and said, "Do you know that you almost died yourself?"

Wei Zhiyue avoided his question.

He glanced at his leg, it was obviously pierced by an arrow, but now it is intact...

The injuries on his body are also missing.

He raised his head, pretended to change the subject and asked, "Senior brother, did you change Baishi for me?"

It's okay not to mention it, but Lu Wangyu's face becomes even uglier when it is mentioned.He frowned, as if thinking of something bad.

"At that time, it was useless for me to take out the white stone. Fortunately, after your soul left the body, it went straight into the body. The patriarch has never heard of this situation, and I don't know if there will be hidden dangers..."

He was always worried, for fear that something might be wrong.

Wei Zhiyue slowly stood up, smiled comfortingly, "It's okay, I feel fine. Now let's take Li Xiang to join Rong Shaoxia and the others."

Lu Wangyu's movements were slightly sluggish.

He avoided Wei Zhiyue's gaze, and said slowly: "She can't leave now..."

Next to it was a gathering array, and the little girl was lying peacefully in it.

Her face was pale and her lips had lost their color.If it weren't for the slight ups and downs of his chest, it would be as if he had lost his life.

Hearing the noise from the side, Li Xiang reluctantly opened his eyes.

Seeing that Wei Zhiyue finally woke up, she looked over slowly.

"Brother Wei, I'm sorry..."

The little girl's voice was weak, and tears rolled down from the corners of her eyes unstoppably.

She was full of guilt: "I lied to you. I didn't tell you. In fact, there is no need to save me."

"Later, they came, and I didn't have the chance to tell you. I'm sorry, I caused you such a serious injury... You could have left without taking me with you."

The little girl's eyes filled with tears.

For her own selfishness, she almost killed her savior.

Wei Zhiyue was stunned, he slowly knelt outside the formation, touched the little girl's sweaty forehead, and smiled softly: "What silly words are you talking about. Look, I'm fine now..."

"You'll be fine." He reassured.

"Right..." Wei Zhiyue turned his head and looked at Lu Wangyu for help.

He didn't understand what Li Xiang was talking about, but waves of uneasiness filled his heart.

He desperately hoped to hear that affirmative answer.

Lu Wangyu shook his head slowly.

He looked at Wei Zhiyue and sighed: "The dagger is poisoned, this poison quickly enters the heart, and then it will torture people to death very slowly, and the detoxification pill is useless for this poison."

His eyes dimmed, sorry for his helplessness.

"I can only make her less painful..."

Wei Zhiyue opened his mouth, but couldn't speak.

He was dazed and speechless.

He knew that Lu Wangyu would never lie, that what he promised would be done, and what could not be done, there was really nothing he could do.

It's just that he doesn't understand, how come everything is different just after waking up?

Li Xiang had actually seen that dagger before, it was used by Luo Niang to punish some ignorant goods.

Luo Niang only allowed them to use a knife on herself.

Whether he was killed with a single knife, or cut a small gash, and then died after enduring half a day of inhuman torture.

This is the choice given by Luo Niang, and it is also her favorite trick.

When the poison exploded, it was like a blunt knife swimming through the blood.

This pain will become more and more intense, until later, it is a fatal blow.

Cut the heart and scrape the bone, but that's all.

When Wei Zhiyue was fighting with Nineteen Xiang's people, she passed out from the pain.

Later, Lu Wangyu sealed part of her perception for her, so that she can still talk soberly now.

She took a breath of cold air tremblingly, forced a smile on her face, and said, "I'm much better now..."

She still wanted to comfort them and let them not worry, when suddenly, her eyes were attracted by something.

She stared blankly at the top, and asked softly, "Brother Wei, is that a swallow?"

Wei Zhiyue looked up in response, and saw two gray sparrows flying past.

He suddenly remembered the little black puppet that the old patriarch was carrying.

He also remembered that he had promised that he would bring the little girl home.

He smiled, but his eyes were sour.

"Yes, it's swallows. Spring is here, and they're coming home."

The little girl's eyes regained a gleam, and she also laughed, saying, "I'm going home too."

Lu Wangyu stared at her silently.

The girl met his eyes, stretched out her hand slightly, and said with a smile: "Mr. Lu, brother Wei, can you take my bare bones away, and then put out the Jiaoqi fire, just like my mother..."

"I want to go back to Cangshan, and I don't want to stay here alone."

Nothing in the world can extinguish the burning fire.

Chiyan's red bones and scorched fire also dissipated with the complete destruction of the original site of Nineteen Fragrances.

But Li Xiang didn't know the difficulty.

She just didn't want to burn alone in the wilderness outside Yandu City.

She just wanted to return to Cangshan completely, that barren land that she loved deeply.

The blessing she left for Cangshan is:

We must be able to see the most prosperous scenery in the world.No longer trapped, no longer wandering.

Now, she has been wandering for a long time, and she is going home.

Lu Wangyu slowly bent down and touched her hand lightly.This is the etiquette of the Jiaoqi clan that he learned when he reached an agreement with the patriarch.

Represents commitment.

Representatives walk the talk.

He solemnly promised: "Don't worry. You have a good sleep, and you will be home when you wake up."

Li Xiang finally smiled from the bottom of his heart.

Her brows and eyes were curved, but cold sweat kept oozing from her forehead, and her body began to tremble slightly.

The toxicity became more and more severe, and she could hardly stand it anymore.

Lu Wangyu didn't delay anymore, he took out the Qiankun bag and poured out all the formation disks and spirit stones.

He started to modify the spirit gathering array.

Li Xiang was in so much pain that her face was covered in cold sweat, and her lips were bloody from biting her lips.

She begged Wei Zhi to tell her about Cangshan.

Therefore, Wei Zhiyue began to recall his trip to Cangshan Mountain with the little girl.

He talked about the twenty-skin buckskin hat.

It talked about the fat swallow on the patriarch's waistband.

It talked about the white stone bought at a big price.He put one of them into the little girl's palm.

Li Xiang listened quietly, holding the round white stone tightly, as if feeling the beating pulse of Cangshan Mountain.

She slowly outlined the familiar landscape in her mind.

That was her real hometown.

In the dark night, Li Xiang's pupils reflected the bright starlight in Yandu.

"It turns out that Yandu looks the same as the stars in Cangshan..."

Her vitality is gradually passing away, but her body is getting hotter and hotter.

When Jiao Qi's clan left completely, his body turned into fire and his bones turned into red jade.

Finally, her pupils dilated slightly, and her breath quickly weakened.

She could barely make a sound, just panting.

She struggled to squeeze out a few broken words.That was her last farewell to this world.

"I dreamed that... the banquet... was lit with a fire."

In the ninth year of 330 of the Shengli calendar, a perennial fire was ignited in Yandu.

Li Xiang was born in the banquet capital and died in the wilderness.

Once lived in Cangshan.
