Gu Xuecheng stared at the elegant-looking man in green shirt, staring at the figure he had seen countless times in dreams, his whole body froze like a thunderbolt.
That's... brother?
His mind was blank, he couldn't think about anything, he just stared at the gentle smiling person, his mind was buzzing, he didn't even dare to blink his eyes, for fear that the other person would suddenly disappear without even breathing. Dare to speak loudly, for fear of blowing away this misty dream.
Are you dreaming?Or did he see a mirage like last time?
That's right, the room he saw last time in the illusion of Qiankundial, where he saw his brother laughing and playing with others, was so clear and real, it made him wishful thinking for many years, and was finally smashed to pieces.
Gu Xuecheng clenched his teeth tightly, not daring to make a sound, and then slowly drew out a trace of aura from his dantian, and that aura was like a swimming snake, quietly poking over.
Zhou Yue smiled and said something, Gu Xuecheng looked at the gentle smiling face, could hardly control the thin aura, the aura trembled violently, and finally touched the other's cheek very lightly, warm ,steady and sure.
Zhou Yue seemed to feel a little itchy, touched his cheek, and asked doubtfully, "Is there a bug?"
The moment the aura touched the opponent's cheek, Gu Xuecheng felt that his heart, which was hanging high, suddenly fell from the nine heavens, and then was gently caught by someone. There was an indescribable softness in his chest, and his whole body He shook twice involuntarily, almost feeling unsteady on his feet.
Not a dream, not a hallucination...
Gu Xuecheng supported a dead tree next to him, took a deep breath, and fixed his eyes on Zhou Yue beside the campfire, like a loyal beast that had been wandering for many years staring at its master.
He watched the man touch his cheek in doubt, watched the man say something to Bai Chenyu, watched the man's every frown, smile, and every move...everything was so real and so vivid.
Gradually, Gu Xuecheng's eyes blurred, and a flood of ecstasy surged up from his heart. It wasn't a dream, it wasn't an illusion, it was really that person, it was really... brother.
He stared at the man with a gentle smile, his chest was heaving heavily, and he took a step almost involuntarily. He wanted to unlock the invisibility spell immediately, hugged the man in his arms, and asked him if it hurt, did he hurt? It doesn't hurt, let him hit himself, scold himself, or give himself a sword...
At this moment, he heard Bai Chenyu muttering: "Back when my brother came back to me in the form of a little fox, and cunningly hid in the golden cover covering the plate, I was shocked, but now I am not allowed to mention the little fox." Fox, it’s true that state officials are only allowed to set fires, but the common people are not allowed to light lamps.”
Zhou Yuexiuya's face turned pink, she seemed to be extremely embarrassed, and then she gritted her teeth and said, "Shut up, don't mention it!"
"Okay, I won't mention the little, fox, and raccoon anymore, and I won't mention the little, fox, and raccoon anymore. I know that there is no way for my brother to be a little, fox, or raccoon. He wags his tail to beg for food. I'm hungry...hahaha..." Bai Chenyu laughed until he couldn't straighten up.
Zhou Yue was furious, picked up a dead branch on the ground, and gave Bai Chenyu a slap on the forehead: "Bai Chenyu! It's against you!"
Bai Chenyu also picked up a dead branch, as if practicing swords with chopsticks, and started to fight with Zhou Yue: "Brother is cheating, brother sneak attack!"
Gu Xuecheng stared blankly at the two of them laughing and playing casually, and involuntarily retracted his left foot when he stepped forward. His brain, which was almost unable to think because of ecstasy, gradually calmed down, and his boiling heart slowly sank into the cold. bottom of the water.
Little fox... Little fox... It turns out that that small and soft little white fox is the original body of my brother?
When I was in Yunxuelou, my brother was heartbroken and jumped off the building...to commit suicide. In the end, his spiritual energy was exhausted and turned into flower petals, so he couldn't return to the world as a human body like last time. He could only come back in his original body, secretly Looking for Bai Chenyu?
Bai Chenyu also said that in order to see him, his brother even hid in the golden cover covering the plate. Although his brother was a little annoyed, he didn't deny it... So what Bai Chenyu said was true.
Gu Xuecheng looked at the two people who were laughing and playing, his chest was cold, and he gradually figured out everything. His elder brother's cultivation was higher than he imagined, so... after committing suicide, his soul did not dissipate, but he was still seriously injured. It's very serious, almost exhausted, and can't even turn into a human body.
But my brother missed Bai Chenyu too much, and even couldn't wait to turn into a human body, so he hurried back to find him in his original body. Such a small and weak little fox, I don't know how much he suffered, and escaped. No matter how many monks were arrested, they sneaked into Xuanyuan City, hid in the golden cover, and were sent to Bai Chenyu.
Thinking of how the little fox came back with difficulty, Gu Xuecheng felt sore and bitter in his heart.
By the way, outside the Yunxue Building a few days ago, in my rage, I activated the Qiankun Dial and killed Bai Chenyu, but at the last moment, I was stopped by the little fox desperately.
After his brother was captured by him, he kept trying to hide his identity. He would rather be a little fox than be locked in a cage than confess to himself.
Gu Xuecheng couldn't help thinking of those days, the way the little fox cowered in front of him, and the way those dark eyes looked at him timidly...
He suddenly understood that his brother was afraid of him.
Thinking of this, Gu Xuecheng only felt a sharp pain in his chest, his brother was afraid of him, but he was actually afraid of himself.
He would rather his brother hate him, hate him, and even want to kill him, than he would be afraid of him. He couldn't bear it at all. Just thinking about it made him feel suffocated.
However, since I did such a thing, relying on the cultivation base of the perfect golden core, I wantonly spoiled my brother so many times, how could my brother not be afraid of me?
Gu Xuecheng stared blankly at the two laughing and playing around the campfire, and felt that his heart was gradually sinking into the bottom of the cold lake. The two seemed to form a warm world of their own, while he was just a lonely outsider, a sad, shameful, and shameful person. Hateful fake.
After a while, the two finally stopped fighting. Bai Chenyu looked at Zhou Yue and said softly, "Brother, are you going back?"
Gu Xuecheng held his breath involuntarily, and he even thought extremely sadly, even in order not to arouse his suspicion, even in order to protect Bai Chenyu, could his brother come back to him and stay for a few more days?
I will pretend that I don't know anything, protect that small and soft little fox well, and never do anything overstepping.
"There's no need for that." Zhou Yue shook her head. Before Gu Xuecheng entered the valley, he had made full preparations, and he was a perfect golden elixir. He was unlikely to encounter danger along the way, but Bai Chenyu needed to keep an eye on him.
There is no need for that anymore... Even though he had already guessed the answer, Gu Xuecheng still felt a sharp pain in his heart.
Bai Chenyu smiled and said, "That's right."
Zhou Yue touched Bai Chenyu's hair with a smile. Gu Xuecheng couldn't help but clenched his fists tightly when he saw the two of them. His nails sank deep into his palm, and a trace of blood leaked out from between his fingers, but he Didn't even feel the slightest.
Gradually, a mad killing intent surged into Gu Xuecheng's chest, what's the use of looking at this here?As long as he killed Bai Chenyu and took that person back, it was really a very simple matter for him.
He looked at the intimate two people, his eyes gradually became blood red, his right hand involuntarily pressed the hilt of Chixiao sword, with just one blow, he could cut off Bai Chenyu's head, and then bring his brother back to Yunxuelou, never to be seen again. let him go...
But, but... that quiet figure in red and white hair, and the snow-white pear blossoms flying all over the sky, suddenly appeared in his mind.
Gu Xuecheng felt as if his chest had been hit hard, as if he had just woken up from a big dream, he stumbled back a few steps, why did he have that thought again?He has done too many wrong things, how can he be so unrepentant?
He clenched his teeth tightly, exhausted almost all his strength, and finally slowly lowered his right hand that was holding on to the hilt of the sword.
At this time, Bai Chenyu smiled and said: "Brother, I heard that there are many ancient magic weapons near the seal of the demon world. I want to pick up some more, and my brother will help me pick them up too. Let's make an agreement."
Zhou Yue's tone was almost pampering: "Of course."
Gu Xuecheng gradually understood that Bai Chenyu and Zhou Yue seemed to want to collect all kinds of treasures near the seal of the Demon Realm.
The location where the seal of the demon world is located is the center of the ancient battlefield. In the battle between immortals and demons, countless top monks and top demon cultivators fell, and their natal magic weapons were naturally left in that place. Since Bai Chenyu entered After leaving the Valley of Asking Swords, it is only natural to want to pick up some magic weapons.
However, according to the records in those ancient books, there is at least [-] miles away from the seal of the demon world. Not only can you not control the sword along the way, but there are countless monsters and monsters, which is very dangerous.
Moreover, Bai Chenyu is vicious, has an extreme temper, is defeated by his subordinates, and even abandoned his brother twice, can such a person bring his brother to arrive safely, and then return safely?Fearing that he would be in danger, he abandoned his brother and ran for his life alone.
Gu Xuecheng took a deep breath, in this place, only he can protect his brother and keep him safe.
However, if he showed up, his brother would definitely... be very scared, and would try every means to escape, and would not accept his protection at all.
Yeah, brother is afraid of himself.Gu Xuecheng reluctantly endured the severe pain in his chest, and secretly made up his mind that no matter what, he must protect his brother and prevent him from being harmed.
Gu Xuecheng pursed his lips, and slowly stepped back for a certain distance. He silently looked at the two people talking and laughing beside the campfire, and never tried to get closer. He just greedily looked at that elegant and dignified face, and that gentle Indifferent smile.
……
Zhou Yue and Bai Chenyu had a good night's rest, and early the next morning, they continued to head towards the seal of the Demon Realm.
After passing through a barren Gobi, at dusk, the two gradually entered an endless dense forest.
Surrounded by tall trees surrounded by several people, the huge canopy blocks out the sky and the sun, and thick dead branches and rotten leaves are piled up on the ground, making a "creaking" sound when stepped on, and a thin mist floats in the air, creating a gloomy The air is thick, and the devil energy is getting stronger.
Zhou Yue was vigilant in her heart, and said softly: "It is written in the ancient books that this is the Illusory Mist Forest, and there are many strange monsters haunting it, we have to be careful."
Bai Chenyu nodded: "Yes, I see."
The two walked forward for a while, and the fog became thicker. Bai Chenyu suddenly called out: "Brother, there is something on your shoulder!"
Before it was too late, Bailishuang's bright sword light flashed, bringing up a string of blood splashes!
Zhou Yue looked down and saw that a blood-colored toad the size of a fist had been chopped into two pieces and landed on the ground. Its two eyes bulged out and its blood-red tongue stretched out long. It looked like it was dying.
Bai Chenyu was in shock and said: "Brother, it was lying on your shoulder just now... What the hell is this?"
Zhou Yue squatted down, picked up a dead branch, carefully turned over the toad's corpse, and then couldn't help but gasped: "Blood marrow toad!"
He once saw this kind of monster in an ancient book. This monster looks like a toad, covered in blood red, and likes to use its tongue to suck brains from people's ear holes. It is very dangerous, but it is also a good medicinal material.
"This thing is very useful. It has a miraculous effect on external injuries." Zhou Yue endured his nausea and put the blood marrow toad into a mustard bag.
Bai Chenyu nodded: "I see."
Zhou Yue sighed secretly. He came back in the form of a little fox. All the medicines before were gone, but repairing the seal of the demon world is very dangerous. Gu Xuecheng and Bai Chenyu might be injured, so he paid attention to various medicinal materials along the way. ,in case for need.
The two continued to walk forward, beheading several small monsters along the way, and Zhou Yue also harvested several medicinal materials.
At this moment, Zhou Yue suddenly heard a faint cry for help: "Help...help..."
How could someone call for help in such a ghostly place?Zhou Yue frowned slightly, then listened intently.
"Help...help..." The voice was weak and immature, like a child.
Bai Chenyu also heard the voice, and said solemnly: "Brother, don't worry about him, most likely the monster turned into a child, trying to lure us over."
Zhou Yue thought for a while: "Let's go and have a look, if it's really a monster, just kill it."
So, following the faint cry for help, the two stepped on the dead branches and fallen leaves all the way, pushed aside the dense vines, and finally came under a huge ancient tree.
"Help..." A faint cry for help came from overhead.
Zhou Yue looked up, and couldn't help being a little surprised. On the huge tree canopy, there was a giant spider web several feet wide!
And in the center of the spider web, a child was firmly bound by silver-white spider threads. The child was about eight or nine years old, with unkempt hair and disheveled clothes, and several bloodstains on his immature face.
And on the edge of the spider web, a blue spider the size of a water tank was slowly moving its eight furry limbs, crawling towards the child!
The child seemed to have spotted Zhou Yue, and said hoarsely, "Help me..."
Zhou Yue narrowed his eyes: "It's a boy spider. It's good at weaving webs, and it eats children. It's almost as strong as a three-turn golden pill. It's not a big threat. There are also ones outside Wenjian Valley, but they're not as big."
Bai Chenyu looked at the child suspiciously: "But, why is there a child in Asking Sword Valley? Could it be some monster?"
"But I can't feel the devilish energy. No matter what, I can't just ignore it." Zhou Yue said in a deep voice, "Well, I'll kill the spider first, save the child, and then I'll question him, and you stare at him carefully." , just in case something happens."
Bai Chenyu sighed, "Brother has a kind heart."
At this time, the spider had already crawled to the side of the child, and the tips of the two front limbs ruthlessly pierced into the child's chest!
In a blink of an eye, Zhou Yue casually pulled out Bailishuang from Bai Chenyu's waist, and the sword light flashed, piercing through the huge spider in an instant!
"Hiss——" the big spider let out an extremely unpleasant hiss, and its eight furry jointed limbs curled up suddenly, and then fell down with a bang! !
At the same time, the huge spider web was also torn apart by the sword wind, and the child fell down suddenly!
"Hey!" Zhou Yue exclaimed, quickly took a step forward, and stretched her arms forward, only to feel her arms sinking suddenly, and she had already embraced the child.
"Are you okay?" Zhou Yue breathed a sigh of relief, and quickly looked down.
The child in his arms also stared blankly at Zhou Yue, seemingly stupefied with fright, his lips trembling slightly, and his big black grape-like eyes were gradually clouded with tears.
This child is very good-looking, with white skin, black eyebrows and eyes, Yuxue is cute, but the clothes are tattered, and the bare neck, arms, and calves are covered with red scars strangled by spider silk. He seems to have been severely injured. She was so frightened that she couldn't even cry at this moment, so she could only purse her mouth and look at Zhou Yue without crying, her appearance was extremely pitiful and cute.
Seeing that the child was fine, Zhou Yue secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and then carefully touched the other party's meridians. There was no trace of magic energy in the child's thin meridians, only a trace of spiritual energy, which seemed to be from some sect. child.
He was slightly relieved, and said softly: "Son, what's your name? Why are you here? Where are your parents?"
The child stared blankly at Zhou Yue, and after a long, long time, lowered his eyes and whispered, "My name is... Xiaogu, my parents brought me in, and my parents are gone..."
Zhou Yue cross-examined a few more words, and finally understood that the child's father and mother are a pair of intermediate cultivators of Rank [-] Golden Cores. They sneaked in while Gu Xuecheng was opening the valley, and they probably wanted to pick up some natural treasures. When I went back, I lost my life and left behind a child.
Bai Chenyu said softly: "Brother, this matter is very strange, don't trust it."
Zhou Yue naturally understood that it was very possible for a monk to sneak into the valley, but it seemed very strange to bring a child, but it was not impossible, after all, in the real world, there were many parents who flew around with their babies by plane.
He pondered: "There is no magic energy in his meridians, only a trace of spiritual energy. He really looks like a monk's child."
Bai Chenyu frowned slightly, stretched out his hand, and carefully touched the child's meridians, there was indeed nothing unusual, Bai Chenyu is a triple nine-turn golden pill, unless his cultivation level is higher than his, it is impossible to hide it from him .
He pondered for a moment, then slowly said: "It seems that it is indeed a child."
The child glanced at Bai Chenyu, then shrank into Zhou Yue's arms, as if he didn't like Bai Chenyu very much.
Bai Chenyu glanced at him, and said indifferently: "What do you plan to do, brother?"
Zhou Yue touched the child's head: "How about this, I will seal him and let him stay inside the seal. After we are done, we will go back the same way, take him out of the Sword Asking Valley, and send him to his parents' sect. to the door."
Hearing that Zhou Yue wanted to keep her here, the child suddenly opened his eyes wide.
Bai Chenyu nodded: "That's all."
Zhou Yue knelt down and coaxed softly: "Your name is Xiaogu, right? You can just call me brother. We have to go on and it's not convenient to take you with me. I will seal you and leave some for you." Food and water, you stay inside the seal, don’t come out. When we come back, I’ll look for you here again, okay?”
Xiaogu clenched his fists, lowered his eyes and said, "Brother, Xiaogu is afraid."
"Don't be afraid, brother's seal can protect Xiaogu." Zhou Yue patted his head and comforted him softly.
After finishing speaking, he picked up a dead branch and drew a light golden circle around the child, then poured all the dry food in the mustard bag into the circle, and put a cowhide filled with water bag in.
These foods are enough for an adult to eat for five days. Zhou Yue reckoned that it would only take a few days to come and go by himself, enough for this child to eat.
"Stay in the seal well, and don't come out." Zhou Yue touched the child's head. For some reason, he felt a little bit reluctant to part with the child he just met.
Are you addicted to bringing your own children?Zhou Yue shook her head with a broken smile, turned around and was about to leave, but the corner of her clothes was firmly grasped.
When he looked back, the child was looking up at him, his big black grape-like eyes were covered with mist, full of despair and fear of being abandoned.
He whispered: "Brother, don't leave Xiaogu behind."
Zhou Yue stared at him blankly, and suddenly felt a slight shock in his chest. He was silent for a while, and sighed softly: "Forget it, it's too dangerous here, even if there is a seal, it's not safe...you follow me." Let's go together, just be obedient."
The child opened his eyes wide in surprise, his snow-white face became puffy, and then nodded vigorously: "Well, I will definitely listen to my brother!"
Bai Chenyu was obviously a little unhappy, but he still reluctantly agreed.
The child is very well-behaved. Although there are many scars on his body, he did not let Zhou Yue hug him. He just held Zhou Yue's clothes tightly and followed the adult's pace with difficulty. He was too short and stumbled when he walked, but he did not fall .
After walking for more than an hour, the front suddenly became clear, and there was a sound of water. It turned out to be a wide stream. The stream was dark and seemed to be very deep.
Xiaogu stared at the stream, squinted his eyes slightly, and whispered: "Brother, the water is so dark, it's so scary."
Zhou Yue looked at the dark creek, and then looked up at the sky. It was already late at this time, and a faint crescent moon appeared on the horizon.
Zhou Yue pondered and said: "Monsters come and go at night, it's best not to wade in the water, just rest here tonight."
Bai Chenyu naturally agreed, so the two found a flat place by the river, spread some dry grass on the ground, picked up many dead branches, and lit a warm bonfire.
The child has been following Zhou Yue closely, and seems to want to help, but he is too young and injured, Zhou Yue naturally does not want to use this poor child labor, and he is not a black-hearted capitalist.
After the bonfire was lit, Zhou Yue looked up, and the child was looking at him eagerly. There were a few bloodstains on his snow-white face, and his big black eyes were wet, looking pitiful.
Zhou Yue's chest was inexplicably soft, so she waved her hand and said softly, "Xiaogu, come here."
Xiaogu's eyes lit up, and he hurried to Zhou Yue, and said crisply, "Brother."
Zhou Yue touched his head: "I'll give you some medicine. Well, there's not much Xueha ointment left, but it should be enough."
Xiaogu quickly shook his head: "No, no, brother, keep it."
"Where does the little kid come from so much nonsense?" Zhou Yue couldn't help but rolled his eyes, and without any explanation, he hugged the kid and let him sit in his arms.
The child was held in Zhou Yue's arms, and he was stunned. He looked almost silly. Zhou Yue didn't bother to care if the little boy would be shy, so he rolled up the other's trousers, revealing a thin leg , there are indeed several bright red spider silk marks on the delicate skin, and some places are even torn.
That's... brother?
His mind was blank, he couldn't think about anything, he just stared at the gentle smiling person, his mind was buzzing, he didn't even dare to blink his eyes, for fear that the other person would suddenly disappear without even breathing. Dare to speak loudly, for fear of blowing away this misty dream.
Are you dreaming?Or did he see a mirage like last time?
That's right, the room he saw last time in the illusion of Qiankundial, where he saw his brother laughing and playing with others, was so clear and real, it made him wishful thinking for many years, and was finally smashed to pieces.
Gu Xuecheng clenched his teeth tightly, not daring to make a sound, and then slowly drew out a trace of aura from his dantian, and that aura was like a swimming snake, quietly poking over.

There was an indescribable softness in his chest, and his whole body He shook twice involuntarily, almost feeling unsteady on his feet.
Not a dream, not a hallucination...
Gu Xuecheng supported a dead tree next to him, took a deep breath, and fixed his eyes on Zhou Yue beside the campfire, like a loyal beast that had been wandering for many years staring at its master.
He watched the man touch his cheek in doubt, watched the man say something to Bai Chenyu, watched the man's every frown, smile, and every move...everything was so real and so vivid.
Gradually, Gu Xuecheng's eyes blurred, and a flood of ecstasy surged up from his heart. It wasn't a dream, it wasn't an illusion, it was really that person, it was really... brother.
He stared at the man with a gentle smile, his chest was heaving heavily, and he took a step almost involuntarily. He wanted to unlock the invisibility spell immediately, hugged the man in his arms, and asked him if it hurt, did he hurt?

Zhou Yue was furious, picked up a dead branch on the ground, and gave Bai Chenyu a slap on the forehead: "Bai Chenyu! It's against you!"
Bai Chenyu also picked up a dead branch, as if practicing swords with chopsticks, and started to fight with Zhou Yue: "Brother is cheating, brother sneak attack!"
Gu Xuecheng stared blankly at the two of them laughing and playing casually, and involuntarily retracted his left foot when he stepped forward.

Yeah, brother is afraid of himself.Gu Xuecheng reluctantly endured the severe pain in his chest, and secretly made up his mind that no matter what, he must protect his brother and prevent him from being harmed.
Gu Xuecheng pursed his lips, and slowly stepped back for a certain distance. He silently looked at the two people talking and laughing beside the campfire, and never tried to get closer. He just greedily looked at that elegant and dignified face, and that gentle Indifferent smile.
……
Zhou Yue and Bai Chenyu had a good night's rest, and early the next morning, they continued to head towards the seal of the Demon Realm.
After passing through a barren Gobi, at dusk, the two gradually entered an endless dense forest.
Surrounded by tall trees surrounded by several people, the huge canopy blocks out the sky and the sun, and thick dead branches and rotten leaves are piled up on the ground, making a "creaking" sound when stepped on, and a thin mist floats in the air, creating a gloomy The air is thick, and the devil energy is getting stronger.
Zhou Yue was vigilant in her heart, and said softly: "It is written in the ancient books that this is the Illusory Mist Forest, and there are many strange monsters haunting it, we have to be careful."
Bai Chenyu nodded: "Yes, I see."
The two walked forward for a while, and the fog became thicker. Bai Chenyu suddenly called out: "Brother, there is something on your shoulder!"
Before it was too late, Bailishuang's bright sword light flashed, bringing up a string of blood splashes!
Zhou Yue looked down and saw that a blood-colored toad the size of a fist had been chopped into two pieces and landed on the ground. Its two eyes bulged out and its blood-red tongue stretched out long. It looked like it was dying.
Bai Chenyu was in shock and said: "Brother, it was lying on your shoulder just now... What the hell is this?"
Zhou Yue squatted down, picked up a dead branch, carefully turned over the toad's corpse, and then couldn't help but gasped: "Blood marrow toad!"
He once saw this kind of monster in an ancient book. This monster looks like a toad, covered in blood red, and likes to use its tongue to suck brains from people's ear holes. It is very dangerous, but it is also a good medicinal material.
"This thing is very useful. It has a miraculous effect on external injuries." Zhou Yue endured his nausea and put the blood marrow toad into a mustard bag.
Bai Chenyu nodded: "I see."
Zhou Yue sighed secretly. He came back in the form of a little fox. All the medicines before were gone, but repairing the seal of the demon world is very dangerous. Gu Xuecheng and Bai Chenyu might be injured, so he paid attention to various medicinal materials along the way. ,in case for need.
The two continued to walk forward, beheading several small monsters along the way, and Zhou Yue also harvested several medicinal materials.
At this moment, Zhou Yue suddenly heard a faint cry for help: "Help...help..."
How could someone call for help in such a ghostly place?Zhou Yue frowned slightly, then listened intently.
"Help...help..." The voice was weak and immature, like a child.
Bai Chenyu also heard the voice, and said solemnly: "Brother, don't worry about him, most likely the monster turned into a child, trying to lure us over."
Zhou Yue thought for a while: "Let's go and have a look, if it's really a monster, just kill it."
So, following the faint cry for help, the two stepped on the dead branches and fallen leaves all the way, pushed aside the dense vines, and finally came under a huge ancient tree.
"Help..." A faint cry for help came from overhead.
Zhou Yue looked up, and couldn't help being a little surprised. On the huge tree canopy, there was a giant spider web several feet wide!
And in the center of the spider web, a child was firmly bound by silver-white spider threads. The child was about eight or nine years old, with unkempt hair and disheveled clothes, and several bloodstains on his immature face.
And on the edge of the spider web, a blue spider the size of a water tank was slowly moving its eight furry limbs, crawling towards the child!
The child seemed to have spotted Zhou Yue, and said hoarsely, "Help me..."
Zhou Yue narrowed his eyes: "It's a boy spider. It's good at weaving webs, and it eats children. It's almost as strong as a three-turn golden pill. It's not a big threat. There are also ones outside Wenjian Valley, but they're not as big."
Bai Chenyu looked at the child suspiciously: "But, why is there a child in Asking Sword Valley? Could it be some monster?"
"But I can't feel the devilish energy. No matter what, I can't just ignore it." Zhou Yue said in a deep voice, "Well, I'll kill the spider first, save the child, and then I'll question him, and you stare at him carefully." , just in case something happens."
Bai Chenyu sighed, "Brother has a kind heart."
At this time, the spider had already crawled to the side of the child, and the tips of the two front limbs ruthlessly pierced into the child's chest!
In a blink of an eye, Zhou Yue casually pulled out Bailishuang from Bai Chenyu's waist, and the sword light flashed, piercing through the huge spider in an instant!
"Hiss——" the big spider let out an extremely unpleasant hiss, and its eight furry jointed limbs curled up suddenly, and then fell down with a bang! !
At the same time, the huge spider web was also torn apart by the sword wind, and the child fell down suddenly!
"Hey!" Zhou Yue exclaimed, quickly took a step forward, and stretched her arms forward, only to feel her arms sinking suddenly, and she had already embraced the child.
"Are you okay?" Zhou Yue breathed a sigh of relief, and quickly looked down.
The child in his arms also stared blankly at Zhou Yue, seemingly stupefied with fright, his lips trembling slightly, and his big black grape-like eyes were gradually clouded with tears.
This child is very good-looking, with white skin, black eyebrows and eyes, Yuxue is cute, but the clothes are tattered, and the bare neck, arms, and calves are covered with red scars strangled by spider silk. He seems to have been severely injured. She was so frightened that she couldn't even cry at this moment, so she could only purse her mouth and look at Zhou Yue without crying, her appearance was extremely pitiful and cute.
Seeing that the child was fine, Zhou Yue secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and then carefully touched the other party's meridians. There was no trace of magic energy in the child's thin meridians, only a trace of spiritual energy, which seemed to be from some sect. child.
He was slightly relieved, and said softly: "Son, what's your name? Why are you here? Where are your parents?"
The child stared blankly at Zhou Yue, and after a long, long time, lowered his eyes and whispered, "My name is... Xiaogu, my parents brought me in, and my parents are gone..."
Zhou Yue cross-examined a few more words, and finally understood that the child's father and mother are a pair of intermediate cultivators of Rank [-] Golden Cores. They sneaked in while Gu Xuecheng was opening the valley, and they probably wanted to pick up some natural treasures. When I went back, I lost my life and left behind a child.
Bai Chenyu said softly: "Brother, this matter is very strange, don't trust it."
Zhou Yue naturally understood that it was very possible for a monk to sneak into the valley, but it seemed very strange to bring a child, but it was not impossible, after all, in the real world, there were many parents who flew around with their babies by plane.
He pondered: "There is no magic energy in his meridians, only a trace of spiritual energy. He really looks like a monk's child."
Bai Chenyu frowned slightly, stretched out his hand, and carefully touched the child's meridians, there was indeed nothing unusual, Bai Chenyu is a triple nine-turn golden pill, unless his cultivation level is higher than his, it is impossible to hide it from him .
He pondered for a moment, then slowly said: "It seems that it is indeed a child."
The child glanced at Bai Chenyu, then shrank into Zhou Yue's arms, as if he didn't like Bai Chenyu very much.
Bai Chenyu glanced at him, and said indifferently: "What do you plan to do, brother?"
Zhou Yue touched the child's head: "How about this, I will seal him and let him stay inside the seal. After we are done, we will go back the same way, take him out of the Sword Asking Valley, and send him to his parents' sect. to the door."
Hearing that Zhou Yue wanted to keep her here, the child suddenly opened his eyes wide.
Bai Chenyu nodded: "That's all."
Zhou Yue knelt down and coaxed softly: "Your name is Xiaogu, right? You can just call me brother. We have to go on and it's not convenient to take you with me. I will seal you and leave some for you." Food and water, you stay inside the seal, don’t come out. When we come back, I’ll look for you here again, okay?”
Xiaogu clenched his fists, lowered his eyes and said, "Brother, Xiaogu is afraid."
"Don't be afraid, brother's seal can protect Xiaogu." Zhou Yue patted his head and comforted him softly.
After finishing speaking, he picked up a dead branch and drew a light golden circle around the child, then poured all the dry food in the mustard bag into the circle, and put a cowhide filled with water bag in.
These foods are enough for an adult to eat for five days. Zhou Yue reckoned that it would only take a few days to come and go by himself, enough for this child to eat.
"Stay in the seal well, and don't come out." Zhou Yue touched the child's head. For some reason, he felt a little bit reluctant to part with the child he just met.
Are you addicted to bringing your own children?Zhou Yue shook her head with a broken smile, turned around and was about to leave, but the corner of her clothes was firmly grasped.
When he looked back, the child was looking up at him, his big black grape-like eyes were covered with mist, full of despair and fear of being abandoned.
He whispered: "Brother, don't leave Xiaogu behind."
Zhou Yue stared at him blankly, and suddenly felt a slight shock in his chest. He was silent for a while, and sighed softly: "Forget it, it's too dangerous here, even if there is a seal, it's not safe...you follow me." Let's go together, just be obedient."
The child opened his eyes wide in surprise, his snow-white face became puffy, and then nodded vigorously: "Well, I will definitely listen to my brother!"
Bai Chenyu was obviously a little unhappy, but he still reluctantly agreed.
The child is very well-behaved. Although there are many scars on his body, he did not let Zhou Yue hug him. He just held Zhou Yue's clothes tightly and followed the adult's pace with difficulty. He was too short and stumbled when he walked, but he did not fall .
After walking for more than an hour, the front suddenly became clear, and there was a sound of water. It turned out to be a wide stream. The stream was dark and seemed to be very deep.
Xiaogu stared at the stream, squinted his eyes slightly, and whispered: "Brother, the water is so dark, it's so scary."
Zhou Yue looked at the dark creek, and then looked up at the sky. It was already late at this time, and a faint crescent moon appeared on the horizon.
Zhou Yue pondered and said: "Monsters come and go at night, it's best not to wade in the water, just rest here tonight."
Bai Chenyu naturally agreed, so the two found a flat place by the river, spread some dry grass on the ground, picked up many dead branches, and lit a warm bonfire.
The child has been following Zhou Yue closely, and seems to want to help, but he is too young and injured, Zhou Yue naturally does not want to use this poor child labor, and he is not a black-hearted capitalist.
After the bonfire was lit, Zhou Yue looked up, and the child was looking at him eagerly. There were a few bloodstains on his snow-white face, and his big black eyes were wet, looking pitiful.
Zhou Yue's chest was inexplicably soft, so she waved her hand and said softly, "Xiaogu, come here."
Xiaogu's eyes lit up, and he hurried to Zhou Yue, and said crisply, "Brother."
Zhou Yue touched his head: "I'll give you some medicine. Well, there's not much Xueha ointment left, but it should be enough."
Xiaogu quickly shook his head: "No, no, brother, keep it."
"Where does the little kid come from so much nonsense?" Zhou Yue couldn't help but rolled his eyes, and without any explanation, he hugged the kid and let him sit in his arms.
The child was held in Zhou Yue's arms, and he was stunned. He looked almost silly. Zhou Yue didn't bother to care if the little boy would be shy, so he rolled up the other's trousers, revealing a thin leg , there are indeed several bright red spider silk marks on the delicate skin, and some places are even torn.
