The master doesn't want the monk to say

"You heard what I promised them?" Hua Ziyao asked.

"I heard." Chi Ruo tilted his head, "Where's Xiao Lian?"

"Xiao Lian is in Chang Luoshan, waiting for you to go back."

Chi Ruo chuckled and said, "Let's go back first, and then go find Shen Qing!"

Hua Ziyao stopped suddenly, Chiruo took two steps and found that something was wrong, turned her head, "Why don't you leave?"

Hua Ziyao raised her eyebrows, "I haven't asked you what happened that day!"

"Which day?" Chi Ruo pretended to be stupid, of course he knew that Hua Ziyao was talking about the day that Hua Ziyao was at the foot of Chang Luo Mountain.

"You won't let me follow you to Guixu?" Hua Ziyao saw through it at a glance.

Chi Ruo couldn't tell a lie, so he said dryly, "It's too dangerous."

Hua Ziyao sighed slightly, he also knew what Chiruo meant, but it was a failure in practice.

It's just that it's been so long, and it seems a bit embarrassing for him to hold on to it any longer, so he can only say: "Not allowed next time."

Chi Ruo was very clever this time, "There will be no next time."

The two returned to Mount Chang Luo, Xiao Lian hugged Chiruo life and death and refused to let go, eating and sleeping with him all the time.

In the end, Hua Ziyao couldn't take it anymore, she tore the child off Chi Ruo's body, and slipped it aside, expressly forbidding him to act like this again.

Xuan Snake came back occasionally for a walk, and saw that Chang Luo finally had a good face after Chiruo came back, so he settled down and started to please Chang Luo again.

The two stayed in Chang Luo for two days before finally getting back to business. Chang Luo was very enthusiastic about finding Shen Qing.

"After all, I have been in Guixu for so long, so I must be affected by it." Chang Luo said.

But the influence is not very obvious, he can only roughly say that the location seems to be in the south, and it is difficult to describe it further.

Fortunately, Hua Ziyao didn't think of relying on others at first, but transferred all the searchers to the south and searched vigorously.

He himself rushed over without stopping.

Chi Ruo still followed behind him.

According to Chang Luo, the power of Guixu is so powerful that no god or Buddha can bear it, let alone a low-level tree demon like Shen Qing, who is almost controlled by the power of Guixu now, and his nature is wiped out.

But before the power of returning to the ruins can completely control Shen Qing, in order for Shen Qing to adapt, he must use his own power to strengthen Shen Qing's body. Caused by the power of returning to the ruins.

"Then if it gets used to it, wouldn't the world be peaceful?" Yinhe asked.

Xuan Snake snorted softly, "I'm afraid that at that time it will not be a mere flood, but a natural disaster that is difficult to prevent in the Six Realms."

This also means that Hua Ziyao must bear this heavy responsibility.

Chi Ruo held Hua Ziyao's hand tightly.

After the two went on the road, Hua Ziyao noticed that Chi Ruo had been depressed. He knew the reason, but waited for Chi Ruo to mention it himself.

Finally Chiruo lowered his head and said, "This is obviously my fault, why should you bear it?"

"Yeah," Hua Ziyao said in a relaxed tone, "I can't figure it out either, and even bothered to strengthen my body."

"Let me tell you well!" Chi Ruo pinched him, like a temptation, "I, I am a natural spirit body, if I come, maybe..."

Hua Ziyao came over suddenly, kissed his drooping eyelids, looked at the trembling eyelashes, and said in a low voice, "No possibility, don't say such things in the future."

Hua Ziyao kissed him again, Chi Ruo dodged in embarrassment, the roots of his ears turned red quickly, looking boundless in spring.

Undoubtedly, Hua Ziyao admitted in his heart that he longed to become stronger, and the shortcut to becoming stronger was to obtain the power of returning to the ruins.

He used to think he was very powerful, but after going through so much, he finally admitted that he was fed up with being weak and incompetent as a mortal, and wanted to become stronger and more powerful.

Hua Ziyao hugged Chi Ruo, but she never felt at ease.

He knew very well that at this moment, he had no ability to protect the person in his arms from harm.

He smiled, looked at Chiruo, and asked, "Stay with me."

Chi Ruo nodded without hesitation, "En."

……

The two of them and the searchers scoured most of the south, watching the flood recede slowly and the rain getting less and less, but there was still no sign of Shen Qing.

"Is this about to be completed?" Chiruo stretched out his hand to catch the rain from the eaves, and it slowly turned from pouring rain to drizzle. The people all said that the flood was about to pass, but they didn't know that a bigger disaster was coming after the rain. wait.

"Where will he be?" Hua Ziyao looked into the distance and muttered to himself.

The monk turned around, "I remember Shen Qing told me that his old banyan is in Zhukuangshan, have we looked for it in Zhukuangshan?"

"I've looked for it. Two days ago, the two seekers just came back from Mount Zhukuang." Hua Ziyao raised her eyebrows slightly, "But the strange thing is, what they said was Zhukuang Wurong, and there wasn't a single one."

Hua Ziyao's tone was subtle, "Silly monk, you have been, cheated."

Chi Ruo tilted his head, "I really can't remember what he said about the past, but I thought it was true."

"Now I know it's fake."

Chi Ruo didn't really believe it either, but he couldn't even think of it himself, let alone tell the truth from the fake.

"Why did Shen Qing do this?" Chi Ruo asked after another search failed.

Hua Ziyao thought for a while, "Maybe he wants to become stronger." Like him, he longed for the power of the strong.

"So what if I become stronger...uh..."

Hua Ziyao heard the voice was wrong, turned around and saw Chi Ruo was swallowing something, his lips were bright red.

His heart sank, he walked over, and licked the corner of Chiruo's mouth with the tip of his tongue, a bloody smell lingered in his mouth.

Ignoring Chiruo's reddened ears from embarrassment, Hua Ziyao looked serious, "What were you swallowing just now?"

Chi Ruoduan didn't expect him to lick himself for this, and his face turned pale.

Hua Ziyao felt more and more wrong, and finally remembered the words of a venerable behind him when he walked out of the void that day. He turned Chi Ruo obviously guilty and turned to one side, not daring to look at his face, a little annoyed, "Monks don't lie. You Say, what's going on here?"

"I didn't lie," Chi Ruo explained while not forgetting to emphasize first, "I'm just guessing, I'm not the same as Yinhe."

"so……"

Chi Ruo glanced at his uneasy expression, and said in a low voice, "So I'm just like him."

Similarly, as long as it is not a complete Buddha heart, if you put it in, it will only be consumed in vain, and one day it will be exhausted.

Hua Ziyao gritted her teeth, her expression changed a few times, and finally she slammed the door and walked out without saying a word.

Chiruo was alone in the room, thinking, is he blaming me for making wild guesses that lead to wrong estimates, or is he angry that I didn't tell him the first moment I knew the truth?

Fortunately, he still knew where he was wrong. In front of Hua Ziyao who came back because of worry less than half an hour later, he lowered his head and admitted that he had committed two unforgivable mistakes at the same time.

To say unforgivable is too serious.

But Hua Ziyao squinted her eyes, as if she was more satisfied with her monk and would try to trick him with words so that she could forgive him more quickly.

Then I really forgave him very quickly, and even hugged him very distressedly.

"There will be no next time." Chi Ruo reacted faster this time, and made a promise before Hua Ziyao spoke.

Hua Ziyao: "..."

Even though he admitted his mistake, forgave, promised, kissed and hugged, Chi Ruo's body gradually weakened.

One night, Hua Ziyao saw that Chiruo was still behind the screen and didn't come out. He thought it was just a change of clothes, and it would be enough to mend one piece of clothing in such a long time. He got up from the bed, walked over to look, but found that Chiruo had passed out on the ground. .

He was still holding the clothes he was about to wear, and the white inner garment was already stained red with blood.

Hua Ziyao's eyes went dark for a moment, and he held onto the screen to stand for a while before regaining his senses. He stepped forward, pursed his lips, picked up Chi Ruo, put him on the bed, and applied the good hemostatic ointment all over Chi Ruo's body.

Then he sat on the edge of the bed and quietly looked at the sleeping face of the person on the bed.

Hua Ziyao didn't move until dawn when the rooster crowed, lifted up Chiruo's clothes and looked at it, all the scars on Chiruo's body seemed to have disappeared after one night, only the faint smell of hemostatic ointment remained to remind him of everything that happened last night. Neither is hallucination.

Hua Ziyao lay on the bed silently, sleeping next to Chi Ruo, hugging him, as usual.

Later, such situations happened from time to time, and more and more frequently.

It's just that these scars will disappear at dawn, and Chi Ruo doesn't remember that he was in a coma, he just thought it was an uneasy sleep all night.

And every night like this, Hua Ziyao would sit quietly by the bed, waiting for the dawn, for the scars to miraculously heal and disappear.

However, Shen Qing's whereabouts are still unknown.
