Little Peacock Raising a Snake

Self-destroying the inner alchemy is tantamount to a desperate move for a demon. Although the soul is scattered, as long as the soul is still there, paying a certain price can always condense the soul, but this can only give it a chance to re-enter the cycle.

The creatures in this world, whether they are humans or demons, once they enter reincarnation, all the past will be annihilated, and life and death will no longer be the same as the previous person. Only by reviving the soul can it be regarded as saving a person in the true sense.

It's just that life is precious, how can it be easily lost and recovered?

Even if the souls of the deceased are still alive and the survivors are not defeated, it is still an act against the heavens to come back from the dead, and not everyone can afford the price.

From ancient times to the present, most of the resurrection methods passed down in the Three Realms are life-defying forbidden techniques, and there is even a method of blood sacrifice to thousands of people in exchange for one person's rebirth. It is also very likely that it is just a walking dead, not the person in my heart at all.

For thousands of years, she has searched too many places for countless legends, and has already experienced too much despair.

The only two methods that can be sure that there will be no backlash, one is to sacrifice the blood of the Feng family and exchange lives, and the other is to use the cold water of the spirit stone to tie the life soul to the undestroyed body.

She had never heard that a person whose inner alchemy was completely broken and whose soul had left his body could wake up so easily.

Something strange always makes people feel uneasy.

Seeing that she had just woken up, Miss Shen said that that night Fu Xiaoba suddenly stabbed a dagger into her chest, trying to save her by taking blood from her heart, but in the end she lost too much blood and passed out from pain.

"If it's strange, it's not without it." Miss Shen said earnestly, "It stands to reason that if a goblin uses self-destruction of the inner alchemy in exchange for short-term powerful power, it will inevitably lose its soul when the inner alchemy is exhausted, but I don't know why , even though your soul had left your body that night, it lingered beside the two of you for a long time, and never scattered away... It was as if it was protected by a force."

Miss Shen said, shaking her head: "But I didn't feel any strange power, except you, only Xiao Ba. I think, maybe the blood that Xiao Ba shed when you were injured happened to stabilize your soul , was able to save you without sacrificing yourself."

Qu Linyan was still puzzled when he heard this, but before he could think deeply, he saw Fu Xiaoba holding her hands, squinting his eyes and smiling, "No matter what, you and I are still alive, aren't we? It happened, don’t think about it if you can’t figure it out.”

"Okay." Qu Linyan smiled and nodded.

She subconsciously raised her eyes to look at Miss Shen, only to see that Miss Shen also had a slight smile on her face, her lips were pale, she seemed to have been injured in the battle that day.

That night, without Miss Shen's protection, the humble Fu Xiaoba probably wouldn't be able to survive her breakout.

"Miss Shen, thank you."

After hearing this, Miss Shen couldn't help laughing: "Who is thanking whom? I almost hurt you, as long as you don't hate me."

After all, she stood there in embarrassment for a moment, pointed out the room, and said: "You have been in a coma for more than ten days, no matter how high your cultivation base is, you should be starving to death. I'll ask Xiao Er to cook some porridge for you."

After Miss Shen went downstairs, Qu Linyan turned her head to look at Fu Xiaoba. Fu Xiaoba couldn't help but blush with his almost scorching gaze. He lowered his eyelashes and whispered, "What are you doing looking at me like that..."

Qu Linyan raised his eyebrows: "It's beautiful, I want to see more."

She lasted that night until she was exhausted, and just before her vision completely dimmed, she realized that she had worked desperately for thousands of years. If she really came to the point of dying, what she couldn't let go of the most was not her sister who had not woken up from her long sleep, nor was it a message from her tribe. see.

Thinking of this, Qu Linyan couldn't help laughing at himself.

It's no wonder that the clan doesn't like her. Over the years, she hasn't changed at all. She is selfish and naive. Even in the moment of life and death, all she wants is to take one last look at that silly girl with tears in her eyes.

"Why are you laughing all of a sudden?" Fu Xiaoba gently pushed Qu Linyan, seeing her gritted her teeth and took a breath, quickly withdrew her hands, and said in a panic, "I'm sorry..."

"It doesn't hurt." Qu Linyan shook his head lightly.

Seeing her like this, Fu Xiaoba bit his lower lip, raised his hand and imagined a small packet of candied fruit, opened the oil paper, picked out a round and plump one, and handed it to Qu Linyan's pale lips.

She tilted her head slightly, stared at a pair of beautiful sleeping phoenix eyes, looked at Qu Linyan obediently, and said, "Eat something sweet and it won't hurt."

Qu Linyan narrowed his eyes and opened his mouth, put it in his mouth, looked up at Fu Xiaoba for a few seconds, and said with a smile: "I used to buy these for you."

"I pawned some extra gadgets." Fu Xiaoba smiled grinningly, "You bought those gadgets for me in Wuzhou, and I just exchanged them for money. I just bought candied fruit for you to eat. Strictly speaking, what you are eating now is actually what you bought yourself."

"You don't need to be so strict." Qu Linyan said, reaching out to pinch Fu Xiaoba's face, his eyes were full of doting.

"Little Eight."

"Ok?"

"You know, I dreamed of Qu Muqing in a dream...I didn't want to wake up. I told her, I'm so tired, I don't want to keep going...I begged her to take me away, just like her back then That way, let me let go of all the burdens." Qu Linyan said, leaning against the cold wall behind him, mocking himself, "I think, you can't live for yourself in this life, you can always die for yourself, right?"

"Little Black..."

"But in the dream, she obviously asked me after she had been away for so long, did she really let go of everything and have nothing to worry about?"

Fu Xiaoba couldn't help showing a hint of distress in his blank eyes.

Qu Linyan closed her eyes, and a slight smile appeared on the corner of her mouth: "At that moment, I was thinking of you."

"It's me?" Fu Xiaoba couldn't believe it.

"It's you, only you." Qu Linyan opened his eyes, nodded, and said seriously, "When I opened my eyes and saw you in front of me, I realized that I also longed to live for myself... ...I don't want to risk my life for anyone anymore, I suddenly start to be afraid of some things that I have never been afraid of before... I am afraid that if I leave, no one will take care of you in the future, I am afraid that the troubles I caused in the past will end up One day it will implicate you and hurt you..."

As she said, she lowered her eyes and smiled wryly in a low voice: "It's so strange, because of you, I would have given up my life, but I have added so many weaknesses... Perhaps, you are really the weakness that I can't get rid of in my whole life. "

Fu Xiaoba stared at Qu Linyan in a daze for a long time, he didn't know whether he was more moved or more guilty.

If Qu Linyan didn't treat her sincerely, how could he say these words?But if he wasn't so weak and incompetent, he wouldn't become her weakness, worry her, and scare her.

Qu Linyan realized that what he said was a bit wrong, and he couldn't help lowering his eyelashes: "I'm sorry, I shouldn't have said this..."

Fu Xiaoba quickly shook his head: "Xiao Hei, I... I will definitely practice hard in the future, I will work hard to become stronger, at least I can protect myself, and I won't let you distract me anymore... If possible, I want to be strong too We can stand side by side with you, and we will face all the dangers in the future together.”

As she spoke, she bent her eyebrows and laughed: "It's agreed, from now on, you and I will live together and die together. Neither of us is allowed to leave alone."

Qu Linyan couldn't help raising his eyes to look at Fu Xiaoba, there seemed to be tears in his eyes.

Fu Xiaoba just stared into her eyes, and said seriously: "It's settled, now you protect me first, and I will protect you later!"

It was clearly childish words, but they were extremely firm by that little goblin.

Qu Linyan suddenly felt the tip of his nose sore, and tears flowed out from the corners of his eyes.

In this world, everyone is forcing her to be invincible, and eventually there will be someone who is willing to embrace her weakness and helplessness.

***

All the blood slaves sent by the Dry Lantern Clan to the human world were wiped out, and there was no guarantee that there would be no further actions. Qu Linyan was afraid that the night would be long and dreamy, and as soon as he regained some strength, he called Miss Shen to discuss returning to the world as soon as possible.

The small town where the three of them are temporarily resting is just not far from Siyang. With Qu Linyan's current physical condition, it takes about three to five days to get there by walking and resting.

"Really in such a hurry? You don't want to rest for a while?" Miss Shen asked.

Qu Linyan said: "If you ask me that, I doubt whether you really want to go back to the land."

Miss Shen laughed for a while: "Of course I do, but it was because of me that the two of you were hurt like this. Now instead of resting in peace and recuperating, you even accompany me on the road. I feel a little bit offended."

Qu Linyan waved his hand, and said bluntly: "I'm just afraid that after a long time, there will be more troubles. If you don't spare your life, I will spare you."

After hearing this, Miss Shen subconsciously turned her head to look at Fu Xiaoba, and seeing that he had no objection, she also nodded: "That's fine."

It is clear that life and death have been experienced together, but on the way to Siyang, no one tried to uncover the concealment that has always affected mutual trust.

Today, almost at the entrance of the land boundary, Qu Linyan and Fu Xiaoba still don't know the identity and name of the demon clan that they have been walking with for so long.

But thinking about it carefully, these are actually not important. Miss Shen clearly got the Dream Shuttle, but she didn't leave alone. Based on this alone, Qu Linyan already has a great sense of trust in her.

She believed that Miss Shen would keep her promise. As for other things, if it was convenient to say, Miss Shen would naturally say, but if it was not convenient, it would be useless for her to ask any more.

When the three of them came to Siyang, it coincided with the warmth of spring and the blooming of flowers.

Fu Xiaoba broke off a camellia along the way, and insisted on pinning it in Qu Linyan's hair. Qu Linyan had no choice but to wear a flower on her head, which caused Miss Shen to hold back her laughter all the time.

The more Qu Linyan thought about it, the more he felt that he couldn't hold back his face, so he grabbed a handful of winter jasmine flowers, and ran after Fu Xiaoba for a long time, and finally made a hairpin full of small yellow flowers for her.

They chased me and ran all the way in this wilderness, childish like two children who hadn't grown up, if it wasn't for Qu Linyan who was seriously injured, he would have lost all strength, sitting on the ground and gasping for breath, I'm afraid it was true. Endless.

Siyang is close to the underworld, and Miss Shen is a demon, so she must be more careful here, she can hide in the crowd, and try not to leave the crowd.After all, it is not a trivial matter for the demons to intrude into the human world privately. If their identities are exposed, it may cause another big trouble.

After the three stayed in the inn, Qu Linyan took Fu Xiaoba around the entrance of the hidden Naihe Spiritual Realm, and after Fu Xiaoba confirmed that he knew the way, he brought him back to the inn.

There is a demon-locking enchantment in the Naihe Spiritual Realm, and any demons passing by will be trapped in it without hiding.

At this time, the underworld will send people to check, and if the identity is unknown, they will be imprisoned directly. Only lowly demon slaves with thick chains and collarbones can be taken away from the land by the master who holds the contract of sale.

Only the weaving dream shuttle can hide all the breath of a person.

It's just that people who hold the dream shuttle, unless their own spiritual power is really low, often have great control over the dream, and they may hurt the dream master if they are not careful.

To be honest, Qu Linyan was not at ease when Miss Shen entered Fu Xiaoba's dream.

It's not because he doesn't trust, but Qu Linyan doesn't know how many dreams and illusions Xiangsi has left in the dream shuttle, and how dangerous each dream is.Miss Shen is not familiar with the Dream Shuttle after all, if something goes wrong when she uses it like last time, opening a dangerous illusion, I'm afraid it will really hurt Fu Xiaoba.

In order to take Ms. Shen's feelings into consideration, and she was embarrassed to explain the reason, Qu Linyan thought for a moment, and finally only said his decision: "Ms. Shen, tomorrow you will enter my dream, I will shrink in size, and Xiaoba will let you go." Can bring you and me into the realm."

Miss Shen didn't think too much, and asked casually: "Leave it to Xiao Ba, if there is any unexpected situation, we will not be able to help her deal with it in our dreams..."

Qu Linyan said: "It's less than half a day's journey to Naihe Spiritual Realm from here, and the passage to the spiritual realm is not too long. The heavens won't stop a little demon from entering and leaving, it's fine."

Fu Xiaoba nodded, then shook his head in agreement, "It's okay, it's okay!"

After hearing this, Miss Shen felt relieved.

Early the next morning, Qu Linyan turned into the original appearance of the little black snake, and fell asleep under the urging of Miss Shen's spiritual power.

Fu Xiaoba stared blankly at Miss Shen disappearing before his eyes, then lowered his head, he saw a little black snake coiled on the bed without moving.

She scratched her ears, stepped forward and hugged the little black snake into her arms, went downstairs and paid the bill under the terrified eyes of the shopkeeper, turned around and rushed towards the Naihe Spiritual Realm.

Since leaving Wuyou Valley, this is the first time she has done something alone. Although Qu Linyan said that this matter is very simple, it is not much different from walking from the south of the city to the north of the city. The little black snake fell into a drowsy sleep, and only herself was awake, so she was somewhat nervous.

After leaving the city gate and reaching the least populated place, she quickened her pace and rushed towards the Naihe Spiritual Realm.

What Qu Linyan said was right, the journey was extremely smooth, without any obstacles, just like climbing mountains and ridges in peacetime, only the feet were tired.

Soon, Fu Xiaoba arrived at the river where Qu Linyan brought her yesterday, ran along the river for a while, and finally sensed the abnormality of the spiritual flow, propped up the body protector, parted the current and walked slowly towards the river go.

A whirlpool suddenly appeared at the bottom of the river ahead, Fu Xiaoba took a deep breath, closed his eyes and rushed in quickly.

The resistance of the surrounding water disappeared without a trace in an instant, and when I opened my eyes again, I saw a faint blue all around, and the spiritual power like smoke flowed slowly in this ethereal place like a veil.

Qu Linyan said that in Naihe's spiritual realm, walking toward the light is the human realm, and walking toward the dark is the earth realm.

Fu Xiaoba let out a heavy breath, and strode towards the dark place in the distance.

This road was much longer than she had imagined. The further she walked, the darker the surrounding light became. Presumably, she was not far from the boundary.

Before Fu Xiaoba let go of his breath, he faintly sensed a very familiar aura.

She subconsciously faltered, stood there for a moment, hesitated, took a breath, turned around tiptoely, and ran towards the way she came.

But she had just started running, and before she had run a few steps, she bumped head-on into an invisible spiritual wall. With a cry of "Ah", a voice that she was no longer familiar with came from behind.

"Long time no see, I have grown two legs, and I can run quite fast. Those who don't know may think that I have a grudge against you."

Fu Xiaoba smiled awkwardly, with a smile on his face, turned his head and looked at Fu Zhuochen timidly, without even typing the draft, he opened his mouth and began to argue: "Brother! It turned out to be you! I met a lot of bad people along the way. I was so frightened that I thought something terrible had appeared again..."

Fu Xiaoba entered the play temporarily, with no experience, his exaggerated tone and exaggerated expression, Fu Zhuochen saw it, and couldn't help frowning.

"Uh..." She also seemed to realize that she was acting too much, and quickly put away her expression, and said awkwardly, "Brother, why are you here? You..."

Fu Zhuochen said angrily: "I can't find you, can't I stop you?"

Fu Xiaoba was speechless for a moment.

Everyone in the demon world knows that Qu Muqing, the former patriarch of the Jiao clan, died in the human world. Qu Muqing's younger sister, Qu Linyan, has been looking for a way of resurrection since she succeeded the patriarch. The Bird Clan is all for Qu Muqing.

Fu Xiaoba was born in the blood of the Feng clan, but he didn't know the dangers of the world, so he could be deceived by just a few words.If this silly girl is really brought back to the Jiao Clan by that Xuanjiao, it will be a disaster.

Although he didn't know what method Qu Linyan used, he was able to completely avoid his spiritual power search.

But no matter how he hides, Qu Linyan will take her back to the Jiao clan after all. If he wants to go back to the Jiao clan, the Naihe Spiritual Realm is the place he must pass through. As long as he stays here, he doesn't believe that Qu Linyan can escape from under his nose. Take Fu Xiaoba back.

It's just that Qu Linyan is really calm. With her cultivation, the journey from Wuzhou to Siyang, which takes six or seven days, can make him wait here for more than two months. Thinking of this, He got angry.

Seeing that Fu Zhuochen's expression was not very good, Fu Xiaoba hurriedly hid Qu Linyan in his sleeve, fearing that Fu Zhuochen would roast it and eat it.

But such an obvious move, after a long time, a tail still fell out, how could it escape Fu Zhuochen's eyes?

"What if I'm blind?"

Fu Xiaoba was crying for a moment, and begged for mercy: "Xiao Hei was hurt like this to save me, brother... I have to send her back, as you said, one cannot repay kindness with revenge!"

"I never said, I'm not that noble." Fu Zhuochen said lightly, and leaned forward a few steps.

"You...you you..." Fu Xiaoba choked for a moment, and subconsciously stepped back while protecting his sleeves, but directly bumped into the spiritual wall behind him. He couldn't take another step back for a while, so he could only speak incoherently, " You said it, you said it clearly... In the story you told me, it was mentioned that no matter if you are a human or a demon, you must repay your kindness..."

"Okay." Fu Zhuochen said, "Since she saved you, I don't feel too embarrassed. You follow me back, and I don't see her at all."

"Ah, this..." Fu Xiaoba blinked nervously, stretched out his hand to stop, and bargained, "I... can I go back later?"

"No."

This place is within the supervision of the heavens, she can't tell about Miss Shen, but facing Fu Zhuochen's pressing, it seems that there is no room for bargaining...

Fu Xiaoba rolled his eyes, stretched out his finger, pointed behind Fu Zhuochen, and said: "I haven't been to the land yet, just let me take a look, just take a look..."

"Are you waiting for her to wake up?" Fu Zhuochen frowned, "She is injured like this, she is not my opponent."

"no……"

"Little Ba, you were deceived by Xuanjiao, you are not an ordinary little monster, you..."

"I know!" Fu Xiaoba interrupted Fu Zhuochen, raised his eyes and said seriously, "Brother, she told me everything, she wanted to use me at first, but she didn't anymore! I believe her, she is willing Protect me with my life, I like her, I want to go back with her, and be with her forever..."

Fu Zhuochen seemed to have heard some terrible joke, and he was angry and laughed for a while: "What are you talking about? You were born as a fairy above the nine heavens. After a lifetime of love, you are a god and she is a demon. You are destined not to go the same way. !"

Fu Xiaoba shook his head aggrievedly: "Is it alright if I don't go through the calamity, I just want to be a goblin..."

"Fu Xiaoba!" Fu Zhuochen yelled angrily, "Do you know what the consequences will be if the immortals who have gone down to earth are willing to degenerate!"

"I don't know, I don't care..." Fu Xiaoba bit his lower lip hard, and said with firm eyes, "Xiao Hei will protect me!"

In the next second, she saw that Fu Zhuochen lost patience in his eyes. Although he didn't say anything, a feather blade with burning red flames gathered at his fingertips, and a cold killing intent suddenly enveloped the surroundings.

"Brother, can't I have my own choice?" Fu Xiaoba's eyes welled up with tears, "I believe her, if it's really a wrong payment, I'm willing to bear all the consequences myself."

"Heaven will not allow a Feng family to degenerate into a demon. They will pursue the Jiao family because of you. Even if Qu Linyan treats you sincerely, she will not be able to keep you." Fu Zhuochen took a few steps towards Fu Xiaoba and stretched out his hand, "Little Eight, follow me back, I have a way to make you forget her, you find someone to save this catastrophe, and everything can start again..."

"No, no..." Fu Xiaoba was so frightened that his eyes were red from crying, a sharp dagger suddenly appeared in his hand, and he pointed at Fu Zhuochen, "You...don't force me!"

"Are you threatening me?" Fu Zhuochen couldn't help being stunned. He never thought that one day, that extremely well-behaved sister would point a dagger at him for an outsider.

The momentary palpitations made him subconsciously take half a step back. When he came back to his senses, he was so angry that he couldn't stop talking: "You... Do you think holding, holding this kind of thing will be useful to me!"

Is he the kind of person who will be scared off by a piece of scrap metal that is useless!

Fu Xiaoba was so frightened by Fu Zhuochen's roar that he suddenly trembled.

Ah, so it's useless?

That... that... that...

"Wrong, wrong..." Fu Xiaoba put the dagger on his neck with his backhand, his red eyes stared wide.

Although the hand holding the knife trembled uncontrollably, the words that should be said could not be missed: "You...don't force me!"

"..." Fu Zhuochen couldn't help taking a breath.

The author has something to say: This younger sister can no longer be had.
