Vol 2 Chapter 175: Coldness

Chapter One Hundred Seventy Five
The night is deep, the place below the hillside seems to be shrouded in darkness, a dozen trees under the gentle grass form a small forest, and the strange one is sobbing and crying with pain and despair. The sound came from somewhere on the edge of the grove. [23[w]x
He Xiaomei cautiously walked down the hillside. Of course, it is impossible for any monsters to appear in the Lingxiao sect on the Jinhong Mountain, the land of the supreme fairyland fairy home. Therefore, although He Xiaomei was a little nervous, he was not too scared. And as she gradually approached, the voice became louder in her ears, and it made her feel a little familiar, but this haste for a while can hardly remember where she had heard it before.
Gradually walking down this gentle and soft green grassy hillside, to the edge of the small forest, in the shadows, He Xiaomei really saw a figure sitting curled up under a big tree outside the forest. Following Bian Shu, he hugged his head tightly with both hands and buried it in his legs. He couldn't see his facial expression clearly, but that strange sound was indeed made by this figure.
With a little light, He Xiaomei looked at the person, and quickly discovered that this person was wearing the Lingxiaozong’s personal disciple’s clothes. He seemed to be a young man, but I don’t know how he was stimulated to become What does this look like?
"Hey?"
When he reached a place far away from the man's Zhang Xu, He Xiaomei stopped and gave a tentative cry.
The man's body shook suddenly, and he seemed to be startled by He Xiaomei, but for some reason he didn't even look up. Instead, he curled up tighter. At the same time, some intermittent and trembling words were passed from him. Came here:
"No, don't come here... mother! Mother... don't come here... I... ah..." The words were intermittent and slurred. He Xiaomei understood a few words after listening carefully. He didn't understand what the man was talking about, but from the man's trembling body and voice, He Xiaomei found that this man seemed very scared and terrified. He Xiaomei was startled when he looked at the man's appearance. Suddenly, there seemed to be some overlap between the appearance of a person in her mind and the man in front of her, but she couldn't believe it for a while, because the man she knew on weekdays was clearly a man who was always confident and proud to talk and laugh, even his appearance. Outstanding young people, based on his family background/scenery, even among the countless young talents in the Lingxiao Sect, can be regarded as the prince of heaven, how could they become like this?
But He Xiaomei seemed to look at it, the more he looked, the more suspicious, the more familiar he became, and finally couldn't help it, took a few steps forward, and boldly called:
"Sun Heng?"
The curled up man shook his body suddenly, then with a little daze, he slowly raised his head and looked at He Xiaomei.
In the shimmering shadows, the face still had tears, and his face was pale and bloodless, but the outline and appearance were familiar. He Xiaomei was stunned. This person turned out to be the grandfather of the Sun family, Sun Heng. .
In the past, the new disciples of He Xiaomei worshipped Lingxiaozong and entered Qingyu Island to practice cultivation. It has been more than eight years since then, and the advancement of those young men and women on the path of cultivation, including the journey of life, has also been obvious. The gap between high and low. In fact, with the passage of time, there has been a private consensus in the sect of Lingxiaozong, that is, among the new disciples of He Xiaomei, it is a group of rare talents gathered for many years. There are several talents, and there are many talents that can be cultivated later.
In the past few years, the few young people who have been in the limelight recently are basically from this group of disciples. Needless to say, Gan Ze, Zhong Qingzhu, Zhong Qinglu, etc., Sun Heng is also very famous among them. one person.
With extraordinary talent, handsome appearance, and remarkable family background, Sun Heng is undoubtedly one of the most promising people among this group of talented disciples. He Xiaomei used to be with him on Qingyu Island. Those who have practiced, although not particularly familiar, are on such a big island, they will always meet each other, and they are considered acquaintances.
It’s just that the scene at the moment made He Xiaomei stunned. She didn’t know what to do for a while. Before today, she would never have thought that the grandfather of the Sun family, who was in the focus of the crowd all the time, seemed to be always above it. Apparently, in a daze, she finally asked dryly in amazement, saying,
"You, what's wrong with you?"
Sun Heng's eyes seemed to be more dazed than He Xiaomei, staring at her blankly, but didn't say anything. He Xiaomei frowned, but now that she saw that it was Sun Heng, she became courageous. Seeing that he was indeed the only one around, she walked over and continued to ask:
"Senior Brother Sun, is there anything difficult for you? How did you become like this?" She had already walked up to Sun Heng while she was talking. She is a cheerful and easy tempered person on weekdays. At this time, looking at Sun Heng is pitiful. , He subconsciously reached out to help him.
Unexpectedly, when her hand just touched Sun Heng, Sun Heng suddenly trembled, as if she was struck by lightning in an instant. She shouted "Ah" with a sense of infinite horror, and suddenly jumped up. With eyes wide open, staring at He Xiaomei, she shouted in amazement:
"Mother, mother, you, are you back to find me again?"
During the cry, I saw the muscles on Sun Heng's face twisted and looked like a fright. He Xiaomei looked at his expression. For some reason, he only felt that there was a chill surging behind him. In doubt, Sun Heng suddenly looked like He heard some inexplicable sound, turned his head suddenly, looked at the darkness in the depths of the small forest, trembling all over, grabbed He Xiaomei's arm and leaned over.
He Xiaomei was taken aback. The first reaction was that Sun Heng wanted to take advantage of herself, and she had to shake her hand when she took a step back. However, Sun Heng actually held it very tightly, and she did not shake it off with a shake. She thought of a slap in the face, but at the same time, she suddenly felt that Sun Heng's hands were extremely cold, and his sorrowful voice came from her ears: "Mother, mother, spider, save me, there is a spider..."
He Xiaomei was startled, and she couldn't get out with the slap in her hand. She took a closer look at Sun Heng and found that the man seemed to be in a strange mood, not cheating. She stayed for a while and whispered to herself. : "This...is it demon stunned?"
Seeing Sun Heng's appearance, He Xiaomei hesitated. After struggling for a while, she sighed, lowered her voice, and said softly, "Brother Sun Heng, wake up, I'm He Xiaomei."
Sun Heng held her hand tightly, and got close to her without saying a word. His body was still trembling. After a while, he finally spit out a little sound, but only a simple word was turned over and over. :
"Mother... Mother..."
He Xiaomei's heart softened. Perhaps she was a kind-hearted person. Seeing Sun Heng's pitiful appearance, she felt a little unbearable. She sighed, slowly stretched her hand over, and gently stroked Sun Heng's back a few times. , Then whispered:
"Okay, okay, it's okay."
Perhaps it was her gentle voice that worked, or that Sun Heng was finally a little tired after tossing for so long. In her comforting words, the fear on Sun Heng's face slowly subsided, and his expression was calmer, just hands Still holding He Xiaomei's palm tightly, she didn't want to let go for a while.
He Xiaomei couldn't. After thinking about it, she said softly to him: "Well, it's getting late, I think you are tired too, I will send you back."
Sun Heng stared at her blankly, like a child who was lost and suffering. After a while, he nodded in a daze.
A smile appeared on He Xiaomei's mouth, pulling Sun Heng around to walk up the hill, perhaps because of the warmth in her palms, so obviously gentle in the cold night breeze, Sun Heng couldn't help but follow.
The figures of two people walked slowly along the hillside, and then gradually disappeared into the night. The sea breeze blew by, the grass swayed, and the hillside was peaceful and quiet. It seemed that nothing had happened here.
※※※
Under the same night, in the same cold night breeze, the secluded small house in Floating Cloud City is another scene.
Zhong Qingzhu and Ling Chunni, two women who had never known each other before today, had been in this cabin for several hours. The cultivators of the Beast League outside the house have attacked here several times, but Zhong Qingzhu doesn’t know what formation he is laying down. The magic is mysterious, and the defense is staggering. He even used the force of one person to help with the formation to block the outside. The offensive of dozens of people.
In the middle, Ling Chunni’s own realm was too low, and the only exercise he had ever practiced was half a piece of "Mengtan Tu" and other useless fighting techniques. There was almost no decent fighting power, so these few hours When she came down, she was calm and nervous, watching Zhong Qingzhu constantly driving the formation to resist the attacks of the many monks of the Beast League.
Looking at this for a long time, Ling Chunni had already admired and envied this young and beautiful Zhong Qingzhu who had never been known before but was also a disciple of the Ling Xiaozong. At the same time, she was also a little envious. In her heart, she had never dreamed that she could also cultivate the great road. How about gaining the supreme supernatural powers, and then being free from being bullied again?
It was just admiration. At this moment, the room was dark, but the faint light from the ball in Zhong Qingzhu's hand above the beam illuminates a few places nearby. With this little light, Ling Chunni also saw Zhong Qingzhu's appearance at this moment, but gradually became worried and anxious.
Zhong Qingzhu's situation, at least in Ling Chunni's view, is not only bad, it can even be said to be very bad. There was a lot of blood loss from that serious injury during the day, and half of her body was dyed red. Of course, the blood on the wound had stopped at this moment, but under the dim light, Zhong Qingzhu’s face was so white that she could even vaguely see that she was already a little hard. Controlling his body, faintly shaking his body, as if it might fall directly from this beam in the next moment.
With such a serious injury, having been alone with many opponents for so long, Zhong Qingzhu’s strength at the moment was enough to shock many people, but Ling Chunni didn’t think of this because she soon saw Zhong Qingzhu’s body shake suddenly. After a while, it seemed that he couldn't hold it anymore.
She suddenly leaned forward, but moved over the beam, and hugged Zhong Qingzhu's body from the side. Zhong Qingzhu's body shook slightly, almost as if he had reacted subconsciously, he was about to struggle to shake off, but from her ears, Ling Chunni's low voice suddenly came, said,
"Ms. Zhong, I don't know you, so I don't know why you came to me. But in this situation, you at least let me help you, otherwise if you can't hold it, both of us will end up It's just as miserable."
Zhong Qingzhu's body paused, her delicate face was mostly hidden in the dark shadow, she couldn't see the expression on her pale face at the moment, but in the end she calmed down, did not continue to move, but did not say anything. .
Ling Chunni let out a sigh of relief.
So the two women sat side by side on the narrow beam in the dark, Ling Chunni gently hugged Zhong Qingzhu's body, letting her body a little bit back to support her.
Cold hands, cold skin, cold body.
At that moment, an inadvertent thought suddenly passed through their respective hearts: Why is her body so cold?
When the night wind blew, they all seemed to feel a bit chilly, and the bitter killing intent outside the house seemed to be making a comeback again.
The night was bleak and cold, so they quietly and unknowingly moved closer in the darkness.
