Chapter 42
Chapter 42
For the next few days, Good Soul would appear by the pool on time every morning to help Lu Guixue strengthen the seal bit by bit.
Four days later, Lu Guixue's shark tail had basically turned back into two legs, and the demon energy on her body was completely suppressed by the seal.
After the influence of the merman's blood disappeared, Lu Guixue suddenly began to feel his surroundings became colder. He hugged his wet arms, shivered, and quickly stood up from the pool.
It turns out that the weather is not warm at all.
Lu Guixue recalled that when Shen Louhan first arrived that night, she went directly down to the pool and hugged him. At that time, Shen Louhan was completely soaked, and he was probably not too cold.
Just as she was thinking, a blanket fell on Lu Guixue, wrapping him up.
Shen Louhan didn't know when he came out of the bamboo house, and he was standing on the shore right now, leaning over and gently rubbing the water on Lu Guixue's hair and body.
While wiping, he said: "Master, I have prepared hot water in the room, let's take a bath first, so as not to catch a cold."
Lu Guixue nodded under the blanket, feeling that the apprentice was really caring.
When there was no more water dripping from her body, Lu Guixue was just about to go to the room when she was stopped by Shen Louhan.
Shen Louhan wrapped a blanket around Lu Guixue's body, raised his arms skillfully to hug Lu Guixue, with a sincere and harmless expression: "The ground is very cold, it's not good for your health to walk there barefoot, Master."
Lu Guixue looked down, only to remember that he couldn't find his shoes and socks when he was in the magic palace, and the back turned into a shark tail, and he couldn't even remember this matter.
The pool was very close to the bamboo house, and when Lu Guixue recalled, Shen Louhan had already carried him into the room.
The bamboo mat that Lu Guixue stepped on was carefully put down by Shen Louhan.
Next to it was a steaming bathtub, Lu Guixue was just about to take off her wet clothes, but when she thought that Shen Louhan was still there, she felt a little embarrassed.
Although they have a close master-student relationship and usually share the same bed several times, Lu Guixue has always liked someone alone when taking a bath, so it is inevitable that he is not used to it.
However, before Lu Guixue could speak, Shen Louhan said: "Master, I'm going out first."
Looking at Shen Louhan's leaving figure, Lu Guixue felt more and more that Shen Louhan was sensible - as expected, the inexplicable kiss a few days ago was only when Shen Louhan was unconscious and recognized the wrong person.
Don't think too much about it.
Lu Guixue took off her clothes and walked into the bathtub.
His body touched the warm water in the tub, and he let out a long breath of comfort.
"Ah, did you come to me before?" Suddenly, the system voice that I haven't seen for a long time came to mind. It sounded like working overtime for two consecutive months, which was exhausting.
Lu Guixue counted on his fingers, and said speechlessly, "I looked for you five days ago, but I just arrived now. Did you step on ants all the way here?"
"Don't mention it, you don't know how busy you have been recently." The system said in a sad tone, "Originally, when the world restarted, there were a lot of problems waiting to be fixed. I was only in charge of about one-tenth of the area, and I was already too busy. Not to mention that Tiandao, for some reason, insisted on trying to expand his memory capacity recently, and caused a lot of trouble... Well, let’s not talk about this.”
The system stopped suddenly, as if it had accidentally said the wrong thing.
"His memory capacity? What's that?" Lu Guixue asked curiously as she heard the word and didn't know what it specifically referred to.
"Internal confidentiality is strictly prohibited." The system obviously didn't want to answer, and changed the subject directly, "Speaking of which, did you ask me for something?"
"Last time at Qianqiu Peak, didn't you help me get a seal?" Lu Guixue raised her hand and touched the back of her neck, "A few days ago it was lost by Lord Feng Yuan. I wanted to ask if you could help me again. I sealed it back, but you still didn't respond, so I had to make another seal, and it's all done now."
"Oh, then do you still need the original seal?" the system asked.
Lu Guixue thought for a while, then nodded and said: "If you can do it, then of course the original seal is better, and the current seal is only temporary."
"Ok, I see."
The skin on the back of Lu Guixue's neck became slightly hot, and soon a golden feather mark was outlined, which was exactly the same as the seal on Qianqiu Peak.
"Actually, I'm curious, how did you get this seal back?" Lu Guixue asked suddenly.
The system said: "I'm a part of the Dao of Heaven. I usually maintain the stability of the world, but only occasionally come to you as foreign aid. Isn't it strange that I engrave a small seal like this?"
"Forget it, as long as you are really that good, the most impressive function of you in your previous life is that you are like a daily alarm clock, reminding me not to crash the plot every day." Lu Guixue used this system for two lifetimes , Knowing that the system is not omnipotent, it can only be regarded as a high-end assistant at most.
It doesn't seem to be able to directly participate in making changes in the plot, and can only indirectly make some adjustments on Lu Guixue's side.
"It's not that I want to remind you, it's..." the system stopped talking, and it chose to answer Lu Guixue's question just now, "By the way, you just asked about the seal, right? It's actually very simple, for example I selected this seal in the past and reproduced its state, if it disappears due to other reasons, then I can restore it according to the past state."
Lu Guixue thought for a while and said, "Isn't that just like copying and pasting?"
"When you say that, why does it feel like it's been downgraded in an instant?" The system seemed a little speechless, and continued to explain, "But strictly speaking, because the time axis has changed, it's closer to archiving and reading."
"Saving and loading... With this description, do you know how to play games?" Lu Guixue asked.
The system replied: "I don't have time to play games, these words are not all learned from you."
Lu Guixue was about to ask something more, but suddenly there was a hasty knock on the door outside.
Shen Louhan's voice sounded outside the door, judging from his tone, it seemed that he had encountered a very difficult matter.He said: "Master, something is not right around here, maybe we need to get out of here first."
"Okay, I'll come out right away." Lu Guixue stood up in a hurry, put on clean clothes, and walked towards the door.
Everything was normal just now, he just took a shower, what happened?
The moment Lu Guixue opened the door, a wave of dry heat rushed over.
Even though Shen Louhan had already quickly protected Lu Guixue, Lu Guixue still felt as if she had stepped into an oven, it was a bit ridiculously hot.
The bamboo used to build the bamboo house made a "cracking" sound and was gradually burnt to a burnt yellow.
Lu Guixue looked out, and saw that everything in the yard seemed to have been baked dry, and even the bottom of the pool was exposed. Only the room where Lu Guixue was, barely maintained normal.
The little benevolent soul stood in front of the door, with a faint light on his body, holding a piece of green and black bodhi branch in his hand.
The green bamboo forest in the distance has already been burned, and even the sky is reflected in a red color, like a piece of purgatory on earth.
The red land is thousands of miles away, like burning.
Lu Guixue remembered that she had seen such a scene before - in Jia Lan's sea of consciousness.
"It's the evil demon Hanba, but why... it appeared again?" Shanhun glanced at the bodhi branch in his hand, and flinched slightly.
Ten years ago, when Jialan Town killed the fierce demon Hanba, Bodhizhi was burned by the demonic energy of Hanba before he died, and lost half of his vitality.
As a result, there was not enough suppression later, Jialan's killing intent was blazing, and the vitality of the bodhi branch was almost dead.
If Lu Guixue hadn't been in Qiongshan at that time, because she had practiced the heart decision, she had accidentally resonated with it, entered the mustard seed world of Bodhizhi, and helped Jialan save Bodhizhi. The thoughts will become increasingly uncontrollable.
"Not good." Shanhun looked up at Lu Guixue and said anxiously, "If the Hanba reappears, and Jialan has never brought a bodhi branch, if he is injured by the Hanba's demonic energy, I'm afraid his killing intent will come back again. !"
Now that the matter is troublesome, Lu Guixue also thought of the seriousness of the matter.
If Jialan's long-suppressed killing intent was triggered by the demonic Qi of the Drought...
Lu Guixue hurriedly asked him: "Then do you know where Jia Lan is? Let's go there now."
Shanhun closed his eyes, felt for a while, opened his eyes and said, "In Mirror City."
Lu Guixue gritted her teeth. If she was in Jingcheng, if something went wrong, things would get even more troublesome.
He took out the white jade boat from the mustard seeds and handed it to Shen Louhan.
"Ahan, let's go to Mirror City."
Beihuang Mirror City is the closest city to the Demon Realm.
Lu Guixue looked down from the white jade boat, and saw long and deep scorched black claw marks everywhere on the original streets, and the city was burned everywhere. Even where there was no fire, there was only dry land left.
On a square in the middle of a market in the city, Lu Guixue finally found the figure in black cassock.
Jialan sat cross-legged on the spot, beside Hanba's huge and burning corpse, Hanba's body had its four legs cut off, and a long wound was cut from the back to the chest, and the red blood flowed out and stained the ground On it, it burned into a sea of flames.
Jia Lan was sitting in this sea of flames, his brows were tightly wrinkled, his expression was stern, and he was muttering something very quickly.
The white jade boat landed on the edge of the sea of flames, and the good soul jumped off the white jade boat, carrying the bodhi branch in his hand through the layers of flames. The moment he touched Jialan's body, the good soul turned into a gleam of light and sank into it.
The bodhi branch fell into Jialan's hands, and wisps of light floated up.
The bodhi branch in Jialan's hand was held tightly, but in a blink of an eye, it was entangled and burned by the devilish energy left by the drought behind him, and gradually dimmed.
Lu Guixue just wanted to go over to check the situation, but was stopped by Shen Louhan.
"Master, don't go there." Shen Louhan stared at Jialan closely, he was keenly aware of the danger.
The bodhi branch didn't seem to have a good effect. Jialan's murderous thoughts overflowed at the moment, and it was almost uncontrollable. Once he opened his eyes and took action, it would definitely be a disaster.
Shen Louhan soon heard strange voices coming from all over the city, like furtive things.
Hanba's demonic energy is so overbearing that even a bodhi branch, a rare treasure, will be burned by him, which will naturally arouse Jialan's long-suppressed murderous thoughts.
Then it is not surprising that the original common people, monks, and even the demon clan in Jingcheng were infiltrated by the demonic energy of Hanba and turned into monsters with a lack of mind.
If Shen Louhan were to choose, he would definitely take Lu Guixue out of Jingcheng immediately.
Although monks and monsters controlled by the demonic energy of Hanba are difficult to deal with, if Shen Louhan undoes the seal on his body, he will not be afraid of these things.
But Shen Louhan still lowered his head and sighed, and said to Lu Guixue: "I guess Master, he will definitely not be willing to leave like this."
"Yes, because of Jia Lan's problem, I can solve it." Lu Guixue nodded, he would not save people blindly, only when he felt that he could save people back, he would take action.
Lu Guixue had seen the scene of thousands of miles away from the red land just now, and finally realized that the scene he had seen in the mustard seed world of Bodhizhi was caused by the demonic energy of the Drought Man.
Shen Louhan didn't object, he just looked at Lu Guixue, as if he was thinking about something.
He asked in a low voice: "If I lose my mind one day and have murderous thoughts...Will Master come to save me like today?"
"Of course." Lu Guixue replied without the slightest hesitation, because she wanted to help Shen Louhan not become black, which was something Lu Guixue had been prepared to accomplish from the very beginning of her life.
Shen Louhan suddenly laughed.
He leaned close to Lu Guixue, put his hands on Lu Guixue's eyes, and kissed extremely tenderly through his palm.
Shen Louhan whispered in Lu Guixue's ear: "Promise me one thing, okay? From now on, Master will save people, but be sure, don't look back at me."
After saying this, Shen Louhan let go of the hand covering Lu Guixue's eyes.
"Okay, I promise you." Lu Guixue didn't look back, he just held Shen Louhan's hand that was about to be put away, as if he realized something.
The monks and demon clans in Jingcheng who were controlled by the demonic Qi of the Drought Demon had already gathered from all directions, overwhelming the sky and covering the earth, approaching step by step.
"Master, go." Shen Louhan turned around, turned his back to Lu Guixue, and released the demon blood that he had hidden.
The perfect cultivation base and demonic energy in the Transcendence Tribulation Period surged out together, followed by the crazily growing lines of inner demons on the chest, like a backlash after being suppressed, climbing up from under Shen Louhan's collar in the blink of an eye On half of the cheek.
It was even more frightening than the last time it spread to the side neck.
Shen Louhan's eyes turned blood red, like a deep river of blood, separating the overwhelming monsters in front of him from Lu Guixue's white clothes behind him.
