Xue Xiao, the Patriarch of Demon Dao, and his colleagues——Stars sinking into the sea [Rebirth]

From summer to autumn, the sound of cicadas and frogs resounded through Pinellia and then through early autumn, and finally gradually stopped at the end of autumn. After a few autumn rains, the dry autumn tiger disappeared completely.Xue Yang got up one morning to clean the yard, and swept out a pile of fallen leaves. He looked up at Xiao Xingchen who was standing by the door in a daze, and saw him stretching out his hand tentatively to catch the obliquely projected morning light. It's been more than a year since he came to Yicheng for the first time, and it's been a year since Xue Yang was reborn and reunited with him.

This year didn't go so smoothly, but Xue Yang looked at the Taoist priest who was either indifferent or angry, and he could always feel a little bit of peace and stability in the years.Xue Yang has been wandering for half his life, and as a reborn person he has nothing to rely on. He can only take a breath by Xiao Xingchen's side, and then live on it.Xiao Xingchen was his home, so he couldn't let go of this person, and he couldn't let go of himself—this is an unchangeable fact that Xue Yang would feel every time he looked at Xiao Xingchen.

It rained for several days, and finally cleared up today. At night, the moon and stars were thin, so they went out to hunt at night and headed straight to a hill outside Yicheng.This mountain is not far from Yicheng, and it is not high, but the terrain is relatively steep, with trees forming hills, Xiao Xingchen rarely came here before, Xue Yang walked ahead and carefully explored the way.

The smell of rainwater soaked in the sun still remained in the air, and the two groped their way forward on a weedy path.Walking to one place, Xiao Xingchen stopped and held the hilt of the sword, and Xue Yang also stopped. After waiting for a while, several figures with stiff movements appeared staggeringly in the forest.

Xiao Xingchen tilted his ears slightly, Xue Yang walked up to him, and said honestly, "They are ordinary walking corpses, there are not many of them, and it doesn't take much trouble."

He led him to the ground again, and said: "The environment here is complicated, so be careful."

Xiao Xingchen nodded slightly, raised his sword and went forward, followed by Xue Yang to join the battle.He never went out with Xiao Xingchen to fight for merit, but he also wanted to help Xiao Xingchen get rid of all the walking corpses and monsters, but he thought that Xiao Xingchen probably didn't like him doing this, so he stopped thinking and helped Xiao Xingchen. Chen looked at it, and only shared a part of it, honestly acting as a foil.

It was the same today, Xue Yang stopped after killing three or five walking corpses. Seeing that Xiao Xingchen was about to finish over there, he walked towards him and killed a walking corpse closest to him.

The two of them put away their swords after making sure they cleaned up, turned around and walked back.Everything was going well, Xue Yang was planning to chat with Xiao Xingchen, but suddenly he heard a "click", Xue Yang turned his head and saw Xiao Xingchen stepped on a tree branch growing in the sky on the side of the steep slope, and before he had time to pull him The soil with a radius of half a foot had already loosened and collapsed, Xiao Xingchen tilted his body and fell towards the slope.

Xue Yang rushed over and hugged Xiao Xingchen almost as soon as he rolled down. He tightly protected Xiao Xingchen's head and back, and the two rolled in a ball on the slope full of rocks and dead branches. After going a long way, Xue Yang hit a tree stump hard on his back, and they barely stopped.

Xue Yang was a little dazed by the bump, and the hand holding Xiao Xingchen lost strength. Most of Xiao Xingchen's body was pressed against Xue Yang's body. His clothes were scratched, but he was fine. He was the first to recover. Fumbling to sit up, Xue Yang's dizziness slowed down for a while, and then he sat up suddenly when he saw things clearly, grabbed Xiao Xingchen's shoulders and arms and looked up and down: "How are you?...Why are your hands full of blood? Blood? Where did it hurt?"

Xiao Xingchen seemed to be stunned, Xue Yang saw that his hands were covered with blood and couldn't find the wound for a while, so he yelled at him anxiously: "Xiao Xingchen! Talk! Where is the injury?!"

Xiao Xingchen was stiffened by his yelling, and he opened his mouth with a strange expression: "...it's not my blood."

Xue Yang didn't react, Xiao Xingchen gently broke free from his shackles, and slowly groped to the side. He touched Xue Yang's leg and a thumb-thick broken branch that went through the calf.

Xiao Xingchen's voice was shaken by the wind: "Xue Yang, this is your blood."

Xue Yang froze for a moment, glanced at his pierced calf by the moonlight, then looked at Xiao Xingchen, and asked him, "Where did you get hurt?"

It was not the first time that Xiao Xingchen found it difficult to communicate with Xue Yang, but he still felt tired. He said, "I'm not injured! You are the one who was injured! All this blood belongs to you alone!"

Xue Yang didn't know why he made the Taoist priest angry again. He tore off a few pieces of clothes and held them in his hands. , stopped the gurgling blood, and said: "You didn't hurt your bones, just take care of them. Are you really okay?"

After touching it, Xiao Xingchen realized that he had pulled out the branch without saying a word and bound it up indiscriminately. He gritted his teeth, and without saying a word, tore off a few pieces of white cloth from the Taoist robe, and tied him up twice. Just stood up.

Xue Yang grabbed the corner of his clothes: "The Taoist priest..."

As soon as Xiao Xingchen heard him yelling in such a tone, he became angry, and emphasized in a rough voice: "I'm fine!"

Xue Yang saw that his movements were indeed swift, and he didn't look like he was in trouble, so he let go of his hand and said, "It's fine as long as there is nothing to do."

Xue Yang staggered up and got up, Xiao Xingchen stretched out his hand to help him, Xue Yang managed to stand still, and said, "Then let's go back quickly."

Most of the impact was blocked by Xue Yang just now. Apart from his leg, he must have been injured elsewhere, but he didn't seem to feel any pain, and he spoke more easily than Xiao Xingchen. He didn't even utter a hum, and Xiao Xingchen only confirmed that the tree branch passed through his calf because of his limp when he was walking with him, and it wasn't his own illusion.

Xiao Xingchen asked that the two of them had rolled directly from the middle of the mountain to the foot of the mountain, and after walking for a while, they would reach the main road. He helped Xue Yang take two steps and then stopped, turned his back to Xue Yang, and squatted down. .

Xue Yang was surprised: "You..."

"I'll carry you on my back." Xiao Xingchen said.

Xue Yang hesitated for a moment, then slowly climbed onto Xiao Xingchen's back, watching the Taoist priest carry him up steadily, and walked back step by step.
