Chapter 209 The Forgotten Land
Xiao Hongzhu cried with extreme sadness, as if the life experience she told before was true.
Somehow her sadness had a special contagiousness.
Xu Yang, who was a little suspicious of her at first, was actually infected by her sad mood at this time. His nose felt sore and he almost shed tears.
Xu Yang realized that he was a little out of his mind, and quickly activated the power of the flame spirit in his body. A touch of hot heat circled the temples on his head, and then his mind stabilized.
"A girl is not beautiful when she cries. A girl who likes to laugh is beautiful."
Xu Yang said loudly and seriously.
"Yeah?"
Xiao Hongzhu's raging tears stopped abruptly.
"In this way, am I more beautiful than Sister Hibiscus?" Xiao Hongzhu said, stretching out her skillful hand to cover the lower part of her cheek, and then smiled slightly.
The two big talking eyes narrowed into a pair of lovely crescent shapes.
It instantly gives people a warm feeling, like a cute little black cat, which attracts people.
"Little Hongzhu is very beautiful. Now Sister Hibiscus is not as beautiful as you." Xu Yang nodded and praised.
"Xu Yang, what did you say? Am I not beautiful?" said Mu Jin on the side.
Xu Yang dragged his chin with one hand and pretended to look at the two people in front of him carefully.
She was thinking in her heart, no matter whether what Xiao Hongzhu said was true or false, she must not let her cry again. Otherwise, she and Mu Jin would cry endlessly, which would not only damage their bodies from crying, but they might not be able to proceed smoothly in the next trial.
Staying calm and maintaining calm judgment without subjective emotions is the key to successfully completing the trial.
So he replied: "Hibiscus is certainly beautiful. However, the little red candle that smiles is cuter."
After hearing this, Xiao Hongzhu giggled, as if she had never cried before.
Laughter is like a spring song, flowers bloom, and everyone loves you.
This heart-warming laughter spread, Xu Yang's mood became more comfortable, and a knowing smile appeared on Mu Jin's face. It seemed that even the turbulent river below the three of them became much happier under the laughter.
"Your clothes are wet, let me help you dry them."
Saying that, Hibiscus took out a blue sachet.
Open the sachet, pour some white incense powder out of it, and then sprinkle it evenly on Little Red Candle's clothes.
After a while, the originally white scented powder turned blue and fell off Xiaohongzhu's clothes. The water on Xiaohongzhu's clothes was completely absorbed by the powder, making it extremely dry.
"Thank you sister, it feels much more comfortable this way."
As Xiao Hongzhu spoke, she quickly spun around in circles twice with joy. The dancing skirt, flying youth, and the unique beauty of a girl.
"What are your plans next?" Hibiscus asked.
"Of course I have to return to the Netherworld, but now is not the time. In twenty days, I can return to the Netherworld safely."
"This evil ghost path is full of ferocious ghost beasts. It is very dangerous for you to stay here alone for twenty days."
"Are you a ghost beast? You know that this forgotten land is a place where prisoners in the ghost realm are exiled. Why don't you see a single prisoner?" Xiao Hongzhu asked.
Hearing what she said, Xu Yang and the two were really puzzled.
Since the Evil Ghost Path is a place where prisoners are exiled in the Nether Realm, there should be a large number of prisoners. But the past records of the Tiangui Sect’s Evil Ghost Path trials show that apart from ghost beasts, no other humans or strange beasts have ever been found in this Evil Ghost Path.
"Yes, where have all the prisoners gone?" Mu Jin asked.
"Because those ghost beasts are the prisoners of the ghost world who were exiled here."
Although Xu Yang vaguely thought of this answer, he was still surprised when he heard it.
"Because except for people in the underworld, other people cannot survive safely under the black sun of the underworld. If they stay here for more than two months, the people there will turn into ghost beasts under the curse of the black sun of the underworld. . People who become ghost beasts will forget everything in the past, and then kill and devour each other."
"So, including the three of us, we can't stay here for two months?" Xu Yang asked.
"Of course, I have been here for a month. Just because of this nasty black sun, I have thick sores on my face. I really don't know what it will look like in another month." Xiao Hongzhu said while while covering his cheeks with his hands.
Hibiscus looked at Xiao Hongzhu's face and said with a smile: "I have a way."
As he spoke, he took out a pearl the size of a child's fist.
The pearl is as white as jade, round and smooth, with a cold air exuding from the outside. It is the water pearl given to her by Taogui when she was in Xiaoxian Realm.
"This water droplet can treat thick sores on your face."
"Really? Thank you so much, sister." Xiao Hongzhu blinked, looking longingly at the water droplets in Hibiscus hands.
.
Hibiscus placed the bloom bead on Little Red Candle's cheek, secretly using magic power to activate the power of bloom in the bloom bead.
A feeling of coldness passed over me, translucent but not freezing, cold but not biting, refreshing and refreshing.
Water is the source of all things, and the power of this bloom has the miraculous effect of nourishing and regenerating.
After a while, the thick sores on Xiao Hongzhu's face shriveled up and fell off at a speed visible to the naked eye. A pink, smooth, and radiant face appeared in front of their eyes.
Seeing this, Xu Yang on the side had an imperceptible look in his eyes. Turning his wrist, there was a simple round bronze mirror in his hand, which was the Phantom Mirror.
"Congratulations, the thick sore on your face has disappeared." Xu Yang said, handing the Phantom Mirror to Xiao Hongzhu.
Xiao Hongzhu opened her eyes timidly, afraid of seeing her face full of acne.
When she looked at the magic mirror, she smiled brilliantly.
In the mirror and outside the mirror, the faces of people were as red as peach blossoms.
"Thank you so much, sister. Hongzhu will definitely repay you."
"It's just a small favor, thank you."
"Sister Mu Jin, brother Xu Yang, you are all good people. You should leave quickly. Otherwise, you will be implicated by the people chasing me." Xiao Hongzhu suddenly said with a serious expression.
"Who wants to kill you? Sister will not let anyone bully you." Mu Jin comforted.
"It's someone sent by the Netherworld. As for the reason? It's hard to explain in one or two sentences. In short, he is a very powerful person."
"Your brother Xu Yang is also very powerful. He will protect you with me." Mu Jin turned her head and looked at Xu Yang.
Xu Yang nodded without saying anything, crossing his hands in front of his chest to act cold. Masters generally don't like to talk.
"Looks like Brother Xu Yang is pretty powerful."
"Of course, high-level ghost beasts are no match for me." Xu Yang answered confidently.
"Let's talk while we walk." Mu Jin suggested.
Xu Yang carefully observed the surrounding terrain, chose a direction, and the three of them fled all the way.
…...
After an incense stick of time, on the hillside where the three had just landed.
Two groups of blue light and shadows appeared silently out of thin air.
The light and shadow condensed, revealing two young men, a man and a woman.
The man was wearing a blue brocade robe, tall, and his tall hooked nose showed a bit of masculinity.
The woman was wearing a blue brocade dress, with a full curve, and her long hair was tied behind her head like a flower bud, fixed with a purple wood hairpin, and the whole person looked neat and tidy.
The two of them each carried an ancient bronze sword of the same style behind them.
There was no expression on their faces, and there was only calmness in their eyes.
"A-choo!"
The young man in blue sneezed.
Twisted his nose, and then said: "She sprinkled perfume powder on her body, which made me a little allergic. However, this does not bother me, Yin Feng."
The man in blue who called himself Yin Feng said, closed his eyes slightly, took a deep breath, and then exhaled slowly.
After repeating three deep breaths, he opened his eyes and said: "There should be three people here just now. However, if I want to continue to track the direction she left, I need to let my nose rest. This inferior perfume powder is really disgusting."
"A-choo!"
As he said, Yin Feng covered his hooked nose with his hand and sneezed again.
After hearing this, the woman in blue frowned and said: "Weren't the four people who protected her before killed by the people sent by the higher-ups before entering this place? There are still people helping her?" said the woman in blue next to her.
"Maybe she has other helpers who sneaked into this place in advance to meet her." Yin Feng said.
"I wonder why she ran to the Forgotten Land to die. Even if we don't chase her, I'm afraid that after a long time, she will be turned into a ghost beast by the black sun."
As she said this, the blue-clothed woman covered her forehead with her hands and looked up at the black sun that was spewing fire in the sky.
"She actually thought of escaping to this place."
"This is also her cleverness. In this Forgotten Land, people who are not in the underworld will be cursed by the black sun. Once the cultivation reaches the Yuanhun realm, they will be strangled by the power of the black sun. Therefore, when she ran here, she didn't have to worry about the elders of the three major palaces sending cultivators above the Yuanhun realm to chase her. Otherwise, she would die faster."
"Luo Yu, the two of us are no worse than those Yuanhun realm cultivators." Yin Feng said with a proud look on his face.
"That's why Youji Palace sent us two. You know, besides you, people from Youhuan Palace and Youxing Palace are also chasing her. We have to kill her before the other two palaces, otherwise we will have to wait to be punished by the elders of Youji Palace after we return." The blue-clothed woman called Luo Yu by Yin Feng said.
Hearing the word of punishment from the elders, Yin Feng frowned and stopped talking. It seemed that it was something that made people very scared.
A quarter of an hour later, Yin Feng sniffed hard, then pointed in a direction with his hand and said proudly: "Found it, the three of them went over there."
The direction he pointed to was exactly the direction where Xu Yang, Mu Jin, and Xiao Hongzhu left.
"What are you waiting for? Let's chase." Luo Yu said.
The two figures left only two balls of blue light on the spot and disappeared.
...
Xu Yang and the other two who were escaping quickly.
Suddenly, a crisp chirping sound of autumn insects came from a small bamboo cage hanging around Xiao Hongzhu's waist.
Inside the small golden bamboo cage is an autumn insect that looks very similar to a katydid. The insect is all black, and if you look closely, you can see a pattern of a big-eared evil spirit on its hard skull. It seems a little uneasy at this moment, turning around in the bamboo cage and chirping.
Xiao Hongzhu stopped, his face condensed, and then said: "Oh no, my black listening insect has issued a warning, and two people are chasing us from behind."
"Don't worry, I, Xu Xiaoxian, have my own way." Xu Yang smiled slightly and answered confidently.
