Chapter 48 Chapter 9: A World of Only Two People

Quiet sleep, misty dreams. For a long time, Yi Yangjiu didn't know where he was or who he was, but he just felt as if he had slept for a long time. No, not only did he sleep for a long time, but he also seemed to sleep deeper and longer. Sometimes, he still feels that he has returned to the time when he was a teenager. He often dreams of walking in the endless wasteland. Looking around, no one is with him. Looking at the dimly lit desert, he can only cry mournfully. How long has it been since the last time I cried? As if to answer his question, the face of the eldest brother Yi Yangqing suddenly appeared in front of his eyes. At that time, Yiyang Jiu was only eight years old. He looked up at the elegant face of his elder brother, and heard his gentle voice saying that he would He took him to the outskirts of the Acropolis to watch the fun, but he and his brothers played a prank and left him in the wilderness over there, where he was crying and weeping. He lost his way for three days before he was picked up by a passing woodcutter. .

After that time, Yi Yangjiu secretly swore that he would never cry to anyone again. Sometimes, he felt that he had returned to his mother's hometown, the Western Regions.In the intoxicating spring breeze in the afternoon, listening to the blue-eyed mother singing an incomprehensible lullaby, in the sky outside the window, there are strange houses with pointed domes unique to the Western Regions. But it is impossible for him to remember such a scene, because he was only two years old when his father brought him back to Weiguo, so it is impossible for him to remember such a scene. Even my mother's appearance has only been told by my father, but I don't know what my mother looks like.

Sometimes, it doesn't seem to be dreaming, and I can't open my eyes in a daze, but what I vaguely see is Ji Yingchu's face. Beautiful face, long hair let down. It turned out that he was really not a man, but a young girl. In Yiyangjiu's vague consciousness, the images that can be seen and the various sensations that can be felt are actually quite limited. Sometimes he felt a hot liquid, scented, gurgling down his throat. Sometimes he felt that no part of his body was intact, and every inch of his skin was in obvious pain. Once, like a summer night dream, Ji Yingchu's face was pressed against him, very close.

Clearly, Yi Yangjiu heard her whispering such words in a low voice. "You treat me like this, how can I repay your love? Why do you save me like this, how can I repay it?" As he spoke, warm liquid dripped from Yi Yangjiu's face. It turned out that she shed tears. Because her face was very close, she dripped tears on his face. Another time, Yiyangjiu's consciousness became clearer, it should be in the middle of the night, right?He woke up again from the misty dream, but under the moonlight, he saw Ji Yingchu standing in the nearby mountain spring, spreading his clothes in the crystal water drops, and carefully wiping his body.

Her skin was as crystal clear as jade, reflecting the light of water and the night, as if shining like pearls and jade. Yi Yangjiu looked at her figure quietly, but didn't even dare to take a breath, for fear of any suddenness, he wanted to smash this magical portrait into pieces so that he would never be able to see it again. It didn't take long for Ji Yingchu to wipe his body, he just temporarily enjoyed the relaxing touch of water droplets, then he put on his clothes vigilantly, turned his head to look at Yiyangjiu, and saw that his eyes were closed tightly, but his breath was slightly rapid.

The wonderful scene of this night seems to be a strong hand, gradually pulling Yi Yangjiu's vague consciousness away from the dreamlike illusion and returning to the real world. With his eyes closed, he heard Ji Yingchu come over to touch his forehead, and heard her muttering an unknown song. But after listening for a while, Yi Yangjiu realized that it was not a song, but a sacrificial word for prayer. The object of the girl's blessing at this moment is to pray to the gods for Yi Yangjiu to recover soon. But for some reason, this mysterious girl who was quite hostile to him would wish him a speedy recovery from his injuries at this moment...

Ji Yingchu sat quietly beside Yiyangjiu, sang a prayer song for a while, and then slowly fell asleep. On the contrary, Yi Yangjiu was lying there, gradually remembering what happened before he fell into a coma, thinking of the Acropolis, the "scene of reaching the corner", and also thinking of the terrible "swallowing" of the huge primordial spirit. Lying down in the middle of the night, he occasionally turned over and touched the pain in his body, so he couldn't help but snorted. Although the voice was not very high-pitched, the mountain was very quiet late at night, and it still woke Ji Yingchu up.

She rubbed her eyes, turned over and crawled over to the place where Yi Yangjiu was lying, and saw the red-haired boy with wide open eyes, bright eyes, obviously fully awake. For some reason, her eye sockets turned red suddenly, and she wanted to speak sullenly, but tears finally fell down. "You're awake!" There was unconcealable excitement in her voice, "Thank God, you're really awake." In the night, she supported Yi Yangjiu to sit up, lit a fire and heated up a ladle of hot soup.Yi Yangjiu looked at the hot soup. It turned out to be boiled from nearby wild vegetables, and the ladle was made of dried melon shells. All the materials and utensils were extremely simple.

He looked around curiously. In the darkness, his vision was not very good. He could only see the darkness around him. Only the night sky could be seen clearly, but there was only a small piece of sky. After watching for a while, Yi Yangjiu recalled the scene of being "swallowed" by the evil primordial spirit that day, and also remembered the last memory before losing consciousness. The two suddenly encountered a deep cliff. It fell to the ground with help, as if it was almost caught by "Swallow". "What is this place?" Ji Yingchu glanced at him thoughtfully.

"What's this place?" She murmured and repeated Yiyangjiu's question, "This is the deep valley where we fell in Kuafu Mountain. You have been unconscious here for nine days!" Yi Yangjiu looked at Ji Yingchu in astonishment, listening to her narrate how she fell off the cliff that day. It turned out that when Ji Yingchu fell off the cliff on that day, he was almost "swallowed" by the evil soul and hunted back, but was blocked by Yiyang by mistake and escaped with his life. But also because of this, Yi Yangjiu was also "swallowed" and tore a big wound on his back.

After the two fell off the cliff, fortunately they were blocked by the trees growing on the mountain wall, so they didn't fall to pieces. However, at the moment of falling to the ground, Yi Yangjiu didn't know whether it was due to his righteous deeds as a man, or purely by chance, at the moment of falling to the ground, he lay under Ji Yingchu's body and forcibly endured his own pain. The weight of falling to the ground also bears Ji Yingchu's weight. Although the two people fell from mid-air with trees blocking them, they were still extremely violent. Under this collision, Yiyang Jiu took up most of the force of the fall, and immediately broke several ribs. The calf also snapped. However, Ji Yingchu was lucky to only suffer from a few scratches and no major injuries to his muscles or bones. Yiyangjiu's bad luck didn't stop there. In addition to the serious injury on his back and the loss of several bones, his primordial spirit "Luo Ye" was also "swallowed" on the cliff and lost half of his arm. , The physical condition of the Yuanshen race is closely related to the owner's body. This time, Luo Ye's arm was disabled, which made Yi Yangjiu's injury worse. Therefore, after falling off the cliff, he was seriously injured. When he developed a fever, he remained unconscious. According to Ji Yingchu's description, it was only then that Yi Yangjiu realized that he had been in a coma for nine days. Yi Yangjiu thought about it for a while, but found that there seemed to be something wrong. "Jiutian..." Yi Yangjiu murmured, "That's not right..." Ji Yingchu opened his eyes wide and wondered, "What's wrong?" "When I was in the Acropolis, fighting with people was commonplace..." "I know, you are a famous rebellious little Taibao!" Ji Yingchu said with a smile: "It's commonplace, and you are right." Yi Yangjiu frowned. "No way? How did you know? Didn't we just meet? How did you know about my stay in the Acropolis?" Ji Yingchu's heart shuddered, and he regretted that he had slipped his tongue, but he deliberately put on a calm expression on his face. "How would I know? It's just a guess," she forced herself to laugh, and changed the subject without showing any trace, "Didn't you say that fighting is commonplace? What's so strange?" "Because fighting is a common thing, it is very common to break a bone, break an arm or something," he said, bending his arm and taking a deep breath, "but if it is a broken bone , but it is not so easy to heal, not to mention nine days, it will take at least a month to start to heal, there is no reason..." He touched his chest and stretched his legs again, "My wound still hurts, but it still hurts. There’s no feeling of breaking a bone.” Hearing what he said, Ji Yingchu hesitated for a moment, and said slowly: "There is something I think you might want to see." Her tone was still a bit hesitant, but her pink face turned red, "It's weird, and It's embarrassing, after reading it, I forbid you to say anything that makes fun of people." "Teasing people?" Yi Yangjiu laughed and said, "Why do I make fun of people?" Ji Yingchu didn't answer anymore, but just supported Yi Yangjiu to stand up. When he first stood up, because he had been lying down for nine days, Yi Yangjiu felt pain everywhere in his body, but the pain was obviously different from the pain of a broken bone. It seemed that his own estimation was not wrong, no matter what happened to him nine days ago, there was no fracture on his body now. As for why such a broken bone healed so quickly, it was a question that he couldn't figure out no matter how much he thought about it. After walking through a few thick bushes, under the darkness of night, Yi Yangjiu saw a faint golden force field light see through ahead. He looked at Ji Yingchu with some doubts, only to see that her face was slightly red, and she looked a little shy and angry. Pushing aside the bushes, in a haze of golden light, he could only see his primordial spirit "Luoye" standing there motionless. The look is very different. But another metal-textured primordial spirit stood in front of the "radish leaf". The distance between the two primordial spirits was extremely close, their faces were close to each other, their chests and abdomens were connected, and their hands and legs were also touching each other affectionately. together. The spectral colors emitted by these two primordial spirits are not the same. The light of the "radish leaf" is golden yellow, similar to sunlight, while the light of the other primordial spirit is silvery, with a metallic luster. What's even more strange is that Luo Ye's arm is missing half, but at this moment, many roots have grown on the broken arm, wriggling continuously, as if it is repairing the wound. "This is your primordial spirit, right?" Yi Yangjiu smiled and said, "The relationship between the two guys is good." Ji Yingchu blushed slightly, but his face sank. "Didn't you say that you are not allowed to make fun of people with this? I knew you would!" "Don't make fun, don't make fun," Yi Yangjiu laughed, "Then let's talk about serious things, let's just talk about you." "I have nothing to talk about," Ji Yingchu said coldly, "I'm just an ordinary person." "Very good, very good," Yi Yangjiu said with a smile: "An ordinary person, please tell me, what kind of 'ordinary' soul is your soul?" Ji Yingchu thought for a while, and said slowly: "My primordial spirit is called 'Shenbing', and it is a metallic primordial spirit." "A metallic primordial spirit?" Yiyang Jiuqi asked, "What does that mean?" "You really don't know anything, do you?" Ji Yingchu stared at him, shook his head and said, "The primordial spirits in the world are all related to the five elements of metal, wood, water, fire, and earth. In fact, it's not just the primordial spirits. Everything in the world is inseparable from the mutual generation and mutual restraint of the five elements, and everything can be explained by it." "I know a little bit about this, isn't it that gold overcomes wood, fire overcomes gold?" "It's similar to this, but of course it's much more complicated. I don't know the real detailed plot. I only know that my 'divine weapon' is of metal, while your soul is of wood." "It's wood? That's good," Yi Yangjiu murmured, "My primordial spirit grows weird vines and leaves all day long. If it's not wood, I really can't justify it...but..." He pinched his fingers , Forget about the mutual generation and restraint of the five elements, "Jin Kemu, in this way, we are still mutually restrained, why are the two of them still sticking together in such an ambiguous way? Isn't this clearly going to corrupt ethics?" Ji Yingchu's face flushed again, and he said angrily, "I can't tell you that you can't make fun of people? If you say such nonsense again, I will... I will..." She said "I just..." a few words there, but she couldn't tell what she wanted. Yi Yangjiu giggled, shrank his head, and saw her embarrassed expression, so he stopped laughing at her. Moreover, without knowing why, a strange feeling quietly rose in her heart, she just felt that her anxious appearance was really beautiful. "Anyway, your primordial spirit seems to have helped my 'Luo Ye'. I'm here to thank you on his behalf." Yi Yangjiu said with a smile: "It seems that when our relationship becomes better, the two of them will get along." Ji Yingchu glared at him, ignored him, and just took another look at the scene where Luo Ye was connected with the Shenbing. "Whether my primordial spirit helped you is another matter, but I think your recovery may be related to your primordial spirit." "Really?" Yiyang raised his eyebrows and asked curiously, "Why is the primordial spirit related to my body?" "I've also heard people say that the so-called primordial spirit is actually a strange ability hidden in people's bodies that is not usually discovered. Everyone has this ability, but not everyone can stimulate it. " "I see," Yi Yangjiu nodded, "It's like having a door, and there are many treasures inside the door, but you know there are treasures inside, but you can't get in through the door, it's the same as having no treasures." "It may make sense to say that. And we, the primordial race, hold one more key than ordinary people, so we can open the door and take out the treasure hidden in the door." "Hmm... Maybe that's the case," Yi Yangjiu thought for a while, but then said quite philosophical words, "It's just that we don't know whether that baby is a blessing or a disaster for us. Like the 'swallowing' Yuanshen Liangqiu Zibing is like that. With such a powerful Yuanshen, he can only swallow people into his belly all day long. If he wants to do that with a powerful Yuanshen, I would rather not have the Yuanshen to be happier. " "But being a primordial spirit is not something you can choose," Ji Yingchu looked at him thoughtfully, and said, "There are many things in this world, but you actually have no choice." Yi Yangjiu glanced at her, saw Ji Yingchu's beautiful face, suddenly felt a sense of pride in his heart, and said loudly: "I disagree with this point, I don't believe in fate, and I don't believe that people have no choice, as long as you are enough Work hard, everything is in your hands!" Ji Yingchu smiled slightly, but there was a hint of sadness in the smile. Because the misery was not obvious, Yi Yangjiu didn't notice it either. At that time, he was only a nineteen-year-old boy, full of vigor and pride, such a slight misery and helplessness was beyond his comprehension. And when he finally understood the misery in the girl's smile, it was already many years later, when everything changed. I still remember that Ji Yingchu said this softly to him. "I only hope that one day, when you realize the helplessness in the world, you can remember that I was here once and heard you say that 'man's fate is in his own hands'." The two talked like this, and it was dawn in a while.Seeing the morning sun, Yi Yangjiu's spirit improved again. After talking with Ji Yingchu for a long time, Yi Yangjiu realized that there was one most important question that he forgot to ask her. Why did two people have to be stuck at the bottom of this cliff for nine days? Perhaps because of his serious injury, Ji Yingchu was worried about leaving him behind, so he stayed here to take care of him. It may also be because Ji Yingchu himself was injured, so he stayed here to heal his injuries and wait for his recovery. In addition, there is another question. When the accident happened on Kuafu Mountain, Yi Ya and the others were also in the audience. So, will Yi Ya and the others be "swallowed" by the black primordial spirit and killed? However, when it was dawn, Yi Yangjiu looked at the place where he was, and only then did he know why Ji Yingchu and himself could not escape from this place. Because the deep valley they are in is not so much a deep valley as it is a naturally formed giant well. On the tenth day, Yiyangjiu had walked all over the bottom of the well-shaped deep valley. Although Ji Yingchu told him that she had touched every inch of the ground when he was unconscious, she still couldn't find a place to escape. go. On the eleventh day, Yi Yangjiu tried to climb up the cliff to see if he could climb up from there. But this valley of deep wells is simply a prank created by the creator to trap people into trouble. The long and narrow valley wall is full of ups and downs, like an upside-down awl, and the upper half of the well wall is covered with trees. , but because of the geology, there is no grass in the lower half, and the ground is covered with moss. Therefore, although Yi Yangjiu is strong and strong, he can only climb up to twenty feet, and the one closest to the forest is about a hundred feet. That is to say, even if you rub the bark and tie a rope, no matter how strong your arms are, there is no way to wrap around the nearest forest. Fortunately, there are water sources and wild vegetables and fruits in the deep valley. It may be no problem to be trapped in it for ten days and a half months. But if it takes longer, it may kill someone. Seeing that all the attempts were coming to naught, on the twelfth day, there was a strange turning point. Because in the empty and silent valley, there was a loud and clear "song of the oriole"!
