Chapter 54: The existence of the immortal’s tomb
I had a lot of questions. Ru Xue had also said that after she came out, she would give us an explanation. But at this moment, I didn’t have the heart to ask Ru Xue anything.
I could only hold Ru Xue’s hand tightly, watching her pale face and her painful clutching at her stomach.
After a while, Ru Xue suddenly stood up, ran to the other side with some unsteady steps, and signaled us not to follow. Then, after walking around a tree, I heard Ru Xue moaning in pain over there. After a while, Ru Xue came out with a pale face.
However, judging from her calm appearance, she should be fine.
She sat back down in front of the fire, and then she held out her hand in front of me. In the palm of her hand was a white, fat bug, and on her back were two lumps. She said to me, “Chengyi, this is my previous life-giving worm. Please keep it for me.”
“You…?” I looked at the somewhat listless life-giving worm in Ru Xue’s hand, but for a moment I had an indescribable feeling, whether it was uneasiness or sadness, I couldn’t tell, but this feeling was too inexplicable, as if it had already been a thing of the past that could not be recalled, but I couldn’t say anything, and my mouth turned into a word, and I couldn’t say anything.
Compared to me, Ru Xue seemed much calmer, but there was still a faint lingering sadness in her expression. She said to me, “The cultivation of silkworm cocoons is the most difficult. This silkworm cocoon was given to me by my aunt. She went through a lot of trouble to find it and cultivated it for so long. It is even better than the one I had before. Unfortunately, I can’t continue to take it with me. This silkworm has already had my blood in it, and since you don’t know how to raise silkworms, I’m afraid it can’t be your own silkworm. But you can still take it with you. It can help you sometimes. It’s actually not that difficult to raise it. I’ll teach you later.
As she spoke, Ru Xue flipped her hand and a bamboo tube appeared in her hand. She placed the silkworm in the bamboo tube and almost forcefully stuffed it into my hand, saying, “I will tell you about the uses of this silkworm later.”
I was originally uneasy, but after listening to Ru Xue, I inexplicably felt at ease. Ru Xue also happened to look at me and smile at this time.
I was so happy that I started laughing, and then I suddenly remembered a question and asked, “Ru Xue, where is the worm? It was on your shoulder…”
Ru Xue looked at me, then suddenly rolled up her sleeves and exposed a section of her arm. I couldn’t help but let out a “ah” sound. Xiao Xi and Xiao Mao seemed to have some kind of telepathic connection, and they immediately jumped away. Xiao Mao’s body was shaking slightly, and Xiao Xi wasn’t much better!
It seems that they are really very afraid of this bug!
The bug was on Ru Xue’s arm, or rather, it had burrowed under her skin. At first glance, it looked as if Ru Xue had tattooed a horrible bug on her arm.
I looked at Ruoxue, but her expression was calm. She wiped her sleeve and said to me in a low voice, “There can only be one life-affecting parasite. If I can’t get it out of Xiangxiaobao, Xiangxiaobao will die. It’s very powerful, and I won’t suffer.”
I nodded and wanted to say something, but Ruoxue said, “Don’t rush me. Xiaoxi still has something to say.”
Afterwards, Ru Xue withdrew her arm and sat quietly. I didn’t know what to ask, so I simply sat down next to Ru Xue.
At this time, Xiaoxi and Xiaomao also sat back with some fear. Xiaoxi asked Ru Xue, “Miss Xue, what kind of bug is this? I feel that it is the same as the horrible bugs in my cave, but it is much more horrible. Can you control it?”
Ru Xue said gently, “Wait a minute, I’ll tell you. Don’t you have something else to say? Go on.”
Xiao Xi nodded and said, “I was just talking about the fairy place. This place really exists in our old forest. I heard that there are many treasures inside, and there are rumors that if we demons go there, we can also get great benefits. I just want to ask you to take our two sisters there. Of course, we will also help.”
As soon as she finished speaking, Xiaoxi, as if afraid that we would not agree, quickly added, “We two sisters have practiced for so many years, and we have never done anything bad. We really have never done anything bad. Even though my sister is a bit extreme, in fact, she has always been under my control, and I have always stopped her from doing bad things in time. I know that you cultivators have a kind of “eye-viewing method.” If you have a karmic debt on your body, you can see the blood energy winding around you with the “eye-viewing method.” You can take a look at our two sisters.”
Or, Xiao Xi thought that we were good people and would definitely not accept demons with too much killing karma, so she added this explanation.
I believe that demons have the instinct to sense whether a person is malicious or not, and whether they are evil. The method of eye observation is just a small method that can be used in conjunction with the heavenly eye. After hearing this, I really used the method of eye observation to investigate Xiao Xi and Xiao Mao. After all, the two sentences made me completely believe that they were not evil demons, and it was impossible.
But as Xiaoxi said, they are “clean.” Under the method of eye observation, I saw that they had not taken on human lives, and there was not a trace of blood.
I nodded, indicating that what they said was true.
At this point, it was Chengxin who spoke up: “You said that three groups of people entered the forest, and you…”
Before Chengxin could finish, Wu Laogui interrupted him: “This can’t be right. There were clearly two groups of people, but how did they become three groups of people? This is wrong!”
Xiao Xi said with certainty: “There were indeed three groups of people. This is true. Moreover, they didn’t start out this way. I heard that they were on the other side, but now I’m afraid they’ll have to take a detour. As soon as they enter the forest and come into contact with the monsters, they will know the legend of the Great Demon’s Soul, so they will have to come here.”
Xiao Xi’s statement made my heart tighten. I originally took the detour to avoid meeting them in advance, but now it seems that I will have to meet them early. What’s more annoying is that I originally thought that only we and Wu Laogui’s enemies would be there, but I didn’t expect that there would be an additional group of people for no reason.
It seems that this journey will definitely not be easy. What’s more, I absolutely believe the rumors about the soul of the great demon. In the stone room, Ruoxue once said to me inexplicably, “If you want to enter the immortal’s tomb, the remnant soul of the blue-eyed fox is one of the keys!”
I absolutely believe what Ruoxue said.
After Xiao Xi finished explaining, Cheng Xin brother only put his glasses back on and continued his question. This time, Wu Lao Gui didn’t interrupt, because when he heard that they would meet in advance, he was so excited that he went to the side to “float around” and couldn’t bother to interrupt Cheng Xin brother’s words.
“I just wanted to ask you, you said there were three groups of people, why did you choose us? This is the first! Second, what makes you so sure that the fairyland you speak of really exists?”
This is the question that Chengxin asked. We can guess that the fairyland that Xiaoxi and Xiaomao were talking about is the fairy tomb, but why would the monsters in the forest know about it? It is really a mystery that must be solved.
Xiao Xi said calmly, “Actually, these two questions should really be combined into one. You must have met Bianzi when you entered the mountain from this road, right?”
What is a flat owl? We looked at each other, completely unable to understand what Xiaoxi was talking about.
“The flat owl is a large owl that lives on the outskirts of the forest. People often say that owls and eagles are flat-haired animals, so the owl’s name is flat owl,” explained Xiao Xi.
After hearing this, I thought the owl was very funny. It was originally a very majestic and solemn bird, but because people called it a flat-haired animal, it gave itself a name called Bianzi, which is quite funny.
“To put it another way, Bianzi is a bird that once benefited from the fairyland and has achieved its current success. This is why we are sure that the forbidden place is a fairyland. In addition, Bianzi also doesn’t know what kind of stimulus he received in the fairyland. He is a character with some strange personality. Let’s put it this way, he is like a guardian. Generally, he will not allow humans to harm the animals in the old forest that have spirits and have the potential to become monsters, but he will not allow the animals with spirits to harm the good people he thinks are good. I heard Xiao Mao say that Bianzi once helped you outside, scolding Baihui away, so I knew you were good people.” Xiao Xi said seriously.
This really surprised us. So the stick on the outside had benefited from the Immortal’s Tomb?!
This also explains why that night, the owl had such behavior. It didn’t need the wolves to harm us, and we didn’t need to harm the wolves.
At this moment, Wu Laogui also spoke up: “If it is a bird that has benefited from that place, it is really believable!”
So, what kind of place is it? Is it in the sky, and does a bird have to be there to get the benefits?
