[Gu Jian Qi Tan] Burning Heart Words

On the way to Yuangu, Nanhua was greeted by people from the valley.

Nan Hua stared at the few clansmen kneeling in front of him, his handsome face showed no expression.

The few clansmen originally thought that they would be punished by Nanhua for their inability to protect the valley, but they saw that he remained calm, and his hazel eyes just looked at them quietly, as if... looking at some dead bodies .

"Patriarch," one of the clansmen finally couldn't stand the oppressive eyes, swallowed his saliva, and said as if he was dying, "We waited for the clan to protect us, and the periphery of the deep valley has been destroyed a lot."

"Where are the people who invaded Yuangu?" Nanhua's voice did not fluctuate in the slightest.

"They left before the patriarch arrived," the man recalled carefully. "They are a group of people wearing ghost masks. I can't guess their origin. They haven't broken through the seal of the abyss. But...it destroyed Yuangu's aura a lot."

"Ghost-faced man..." He gradually clenched his hands covered in his sleeves, his eyes were cold.

"Also," the other person said hesitantly, "Elder Wan was injured a little bit in order to expel those people."

Nan Hua's fierce gaze flashed across, and the next moment, his figure disappeared in the same place, leaving only those few clansmen looking at each other on the ground.

…………

At this moment, Aunt Wan was leaning on the bed with a haggard face, sighing and looking at a small silver bracelet, her fingertips gently caressing its edge.

"Aunt Wan," Nan Hua slowly appeared in the room, seeing that her hair, which originally only had a few strands of white hair, was now almost half white, and her brows were frowning.

"Nan Hua, you're back." Aunt Wan smiled lightly, but her voice was slightly hoarse.

Nan Hua's eyes were heavy, and he went to her bed and sat down to feel her pulse, "Aunt Wan, you know your body well, why do you still want to take action, those people can't threaten Yuan Gu at all."

"If I don't stop them, Yuangu's spiritual energy will be exhausted," Aunt Wan coughed a few times with difficulty covering her chest, and then said weakly, "I don't want Linger to lose the paradise she lived in since she was a child, Nanhua, She looked at Nanhua pleadingly, "Don't tell Linger about this, I hope she can live without worries forever."

"Aunt Wan..."

Seeing Nan Hua's moved expression, she smiled wryly and said, "I'm just lingering on my last breath, and the only thing I care about in this world is Ling'er. It's a pity that Ling'er, like me, is cursed by my bloodline." , I just hope you can..." She coughed again and her face turned pale, "...can help her."

"Aunt Wan, Mu Ling has already gone to look for the scale of the candle dragon. When he finds the scale of the candle dragon, everything will be fine." He was silent for a while, but he could only say these words that even he... could not convince.

"Nanhua," Aunt Wan smiled bitterly, "There is only one scale of the candle dragon..."

Nan Hua looked at her with unbearable eyes.

Aunt Wan's implication was very clear.

"I will fulfill your wish." There was only a moment of unbearable feeling, and the next moment he had recovered his usual calmness.And this sentence is probably what Aunt Wan needs most.

After hearing his promise, Aunt Wan softened her expression and put the silver bracelet in his hand, "This is what Ling'er wore when she was a child. I have nothing left for her. If I really suffer But this calamity, you will bring this to her."

He looked down at the familiar silver bracelet, and touched the cold edge of the silver bracelet with his fingertips. He couldn't help but recall that year, a season when ice and snow covered the entire deep valley, and it was so cold to the bone.

At that time, he was about eleven or twelve years old, and it was the first time outside the valley that he saw Mu Ling who was still being hugged by Aunt Wan.

Ice and snow cut people's skin like a blade. He was wearing a black cloak and escaped... that lonely and deserted place. When he made up his mind to travel the world and never go back, he saw Aunt Wan holding her in her arms. Mu Ling, she was wearing this silver bracelet at that time, with her fingers in her mouth, her eyes were round, bright and clear. Although she didn't remember anything, she looked at him fearlessly. As sweet as a silver bell, he tried hard but called out "big...big brother" vaguely.

Yuan Gu has always been cold and lonely, but her smile is like a ray of warm sunlight, completely different from Yuan Gu's feelings for him, and it brightens his world all of a sudden...

He held the silver bracelet tightly in his palm and warmed it so that it no longer felt cold.

From the moment he saw her, he swore that he would protect her well, and even himself...wouldn't be able to hurt her.

…………

On the other side, after Ziling returned to Tianyong City, after Tusu and Qingxue left Tiezhuguan, Tusu's evil spirit became more and more uncontrollable, and by accident, he and Qingxue came to Ganquan Village to recuperate. Met Lan Sheng and Xiang Ling.

In the end, Luo Yunping, who treated his injuries, gave him his inner alchemy in order to repay his adoptive parents, and he accompanied his adoptive parents in the cave to complete the final journey.

And he... after seeing Luo Yunping's adoptive parents die unhappily, he couldn't help but think of his mother, whom he didn't even remember, Wu Zhu from Wumeng Linggu, when the whole family was slaughtered, only Leave yourself alone.

At least Luo Yunping... had been with his parents for many years, but he didn't even remember what his mother looked like.

Thinking of this, his usual dull expression became even more gloomy, and Qingxue thought that his evil spirit disturbance had not been completely eliminated, and she took care of him meticulously, busy in and out for him every day.

Sitting on the stool, Tu Su saw that Qingxue was looking for food and making medicine for him today, he hesitated for a while, and called her name.

"What's the matter, Susu?" Qingxue, who was helping him pack his bags, turned around when she heard him call her name, thought for a while, and said, "Are you hungry?"

"No," Tu Su got up, took his burden from her hand, and said what he had been thinking about for a day, "Actually, you don't have to do so much for me. You have already helped me a lot along the way."

"Susu," Qingxue thought he felt embarrassed, and took the burden from his hand with a smile, "I couldn't help you much before, but now I am very happy to help you do so many things."

But he replied seriously, "The road is very dangerous, and I have evil spirits in my body, I'm afraid it will drag you down, you'd better go back to Youdu first."

"Susu, you want to drive me away?" A hurt expression appeared on her face, she held Tusu's hand and said, "I'm not afraid that you will drag me down..."

"Qingxue," he withdrew his hand, forcing himself not to look at her hurt eyes, "You are a good girl, you are not worth doing for me..."

"Susu," she stopped him from continuing, her eyes dodged for a while, pretending nothing happened, and changed the subject, "Brother Luo left some prescriptions to suppress evil spirits before he died, and we are about to leave for Jiangdu. Go find them."

After she finished speaking, she turned around, paused her steps, her eyes were red, holding back the tears that were about to fall, she walked out of the room quickly.

Tu Su looked at her back with a helpless expression, and slowly sat back on the stool.

After Qingxue desperately stopped him in Tie Zhu Guan, everyone felt that she had sacrificed too much for herself, and he should cherish her and not let her down.

He never wanted to hurt her, it was just...

He looked down at his hand, a sachet was tightly held in the palm of his hand...

…………

Time passed quickly, and the disciples of Tianyong City had been searching at the foot of the mountain for many days, but they couldn't find the so-called Candle Dragon Scale.

Mu Ling had been waiting in Tianyong City all this time, and she was also impatient. Anxiety always appeared in her heart unconsciously, as if...something ominous would happen.

Eldest brother and senior sister Fuqu went to Jiangdu a few days earlier, and she didn't know who to discuss with, but if she still couldn't find the scale of the candle dragon, what should she do...

She was distracted waiting in the room, and when she was about to go find it herself, the spirit stone that Nanhua left her to test the breath of Candle Dragon Scale suddenly flickered.

She stood up abruptly, looking at the spirit stone in surprise, but the light was getting weaker and weaker, that is to say, the scale of the candle dragon was getting farther and farther away from her.

"As long as you move, I don't believe I can't find you!" She confidently put the spirit stone into her palm, and after thinking for a moment, it turned into a golden light and swept towards the sky, and she was gone in the room instantly figure.

"Junior Sister Mu Ling, I'm here to bring you food." Ling Chuan walked into her room with a bowl of glutinous rice balls with a smile on his face, and when he looked up, he found her in the room.

After looking around, he scratched the back of his head strangely, "Where did he go?"

…………

A large forest is located outside Zixian Villa. Although the trees are still verdant, the land is barren. The gray mist covers the entire forest, and from time to time there are mournful whimpering sounds, making this place even more eerie.

After Ling Yue went to Jiangdu and learned from Qianshang that the ghost-faced man who killed Zhaolin was related to the Qingyu Altar, he immediately went to the Qingyu Altar with Qianshang, and rushed to Zixian Villa after learning of Lei Yan's whereabouts , meeting Tu Su and the others at the forest outside the villa.

After Tu Su learned that Lei Yan was the murderer who slaughtered them in Wumeng Linggu, the hatred in his heart has not disappeared, and the evil spirit on his body is also showing signs of outbreak.

Ling Yue pinched Tu Su, who was pursing his lips, a little worriedly, and warned, "Tu Su, after you go in and find Lei Yan and the others, you must control yourself, and don't use your emotions to arouse evil spirits."

Only then did Tu Su's stiff body relax a bit, and his impetuous mood calmed down. He said in a low voice, "Don't worry, brother, I will control myself."

"it is good."

Seeing that he recovered, Ling Yue felt a little relieved, patted him on the shoulder and walked into the forest with the others.

……

Tu Su and the others had just entered the forest, but Mu Ling had already walked around in the forest several times, and finally leaned against the tree trunk, wiping the sweat from his forehead with his sleeve.

"Damn it, those people were still here just now, why did they disappear all of a sudden!"

She originally came here with the people from the Green Jade Altar, and there are barren mountains and mountains all around, and the position of the Candle Dragon Scale keeps changing, so she was sure that one of them must have the Torch Dragon Scale on her body.

But who would have thought that before finding the Candle Dragon Scale, I lost my way here, but this area is covered in mist and miasma, and I can't see people at all when I fly over it, so I can only find my way in this forest .

She knocked on her leg, and when she smelled the stench brought by the earth spirit, she frowned and covered her nose, "The smell here is really bad, if I can't find my way again, I will stink to death if I am not exhausted." Me!"

Those earth spirits filled with black mist were not afraid of her like those monsters at the foot of Tianyong City. On the contrary, they gathered more and more, making greedy roars from time to time, coveting her full of spiritual power.

After a while, those earth spirits gathered around her and quietly surrounded her.

Mu Ling was sitting by the tree to rest, so that he could continue to look for the way after recovering his strength, but he didn't realize that the scene around him had changed before he knew it.

She chewed the biscuits hidden in her bosom, and was just about to yawn when she realized... she actually appeared in the deep valley!

"Why did I go back to the abyss?" She jumped up in shock, rolled her eyes, and said to herself in doubt, "I was clearly in a forest just now, this...could it be an illusion Bar?"

After feeling in my heart that this is an illusion, I feel much better. In short, I just don't believe in anything.

After she felt relieved, she just continued to eat her own biscuits.

A familiar figure suddenly appeared in her line of sight. The man's gray hair was flying in the air, looking... a bit weird.

She paused for a moment while gnawing on the biscuits, and became more and more curious about the figure from behind, "That figure is..."

The figure turned around, and what caught her eyes was her mother's face, but her mother's face was much older, and her eyes were even more dull, staring at her motionlessly like a puppet.

"……mother?"

"Mu Ling, my child," came the familiar voice from her mother, but it was hollow, as if looking at her, "Why haven't you returned to Abyss..."

"No...you are not my mother..." She was still a little shocked, "My mother...my mother is not as ugly as you!"

"Mother is old and sick," her mother's hand slowly touched her face, "Don't you know me... You haven't found the scale of the candle dragon, so I am old and dying... ..."

"I...I..." At this moment, her heart has become a mess, and the biscuits in her hand are also slightly deformed.

This person...isn't she really her mother?

Her mother's complexion suddenly changed drastically, she clutched her chest tightly with her hands, screamed shrillly, and twisted her body in pain on the ground.

"Mother!" Seeing this scene, Mu Ling's heart seemed to be torn apart, and she rushed to her mother's side without hesitation, and supported her mother's stiff body, tears streaming down her cheeks. Falling down, "Mother, mother, don't worry, I will find you the scale of the candle dragon, and I will save you!"

Her mother's hand tightly grabbed her clothes, her expression was ferocious, her eyes seemed to be popping out, "Help me... save me—"

Before her screams calmed down, her body suddenly turned into ashes, blown by the wind, and disappeared without a trace.

"Mother! Mother!" Mu Ling cried bitterly and wanted to hold the ashes in the air into his arms, but was tripped by something and fell heavily to the ground.

A pair of black boots appeared in front of Mu Ling, her face was stained with tears, but when she raised her head, she saw Nan Hua looking down on her.

He smiled strangely, and said slowly, "Your mother is dead."

"No, no, brother Nanhua, you are so powerful, save my mother!" She blushed from crying, grabbed Nanhua's clothes tightly, and said with a sob, "I didn't mean it, I never... never I never thought that my mother would die, brother Nanhua, I will find the scale of the candle dragon, I will find it..."

Nan Hua squatted down slowly, raised her chin lightly with her fingers, and said with a sneer, "If you hadn't been greedy for the world and hadn't found the scale of the candle dragon, your mother wouldn't have died."

His hand slowly moved to her neck, strangled her neck, and the strength in his hand became heavier and heavier.

"No...not..." She grabbed Nan Hua's hand vigorously, feeling suffocated.

"You want you to never leave Abyss Valley, and never leave my side!" Nan Hua's eyes were full of hostility, and then he raised his head and laughed loudly.

Her consciousness was getting weaker and weaker, her hand just subconsciously wanted to break Nan Hua's hand strangling her neck.

No...no... Brother Nanhua wouldn't treat her like this...
