Outside the Door

Chapter 5 Outside the door

Li Wuxiang stared at her for a while, then nodded.

It was reasonable. Zhao Xi was different from the 101 beastly teenagers below. She had been with Zhao Kui for a long time.

"What's his name?"

"... Zhao Kui."

-Being with Zhao Kui, she must have given her a slightly more reasonable explanation. But "destruction of the world", "sea of ​​fire ruins"? This reason was too perfunctory.

Li Wuxiang smiled and let her go. At this time, Zhao Xi seemed to have recovered some strength and could lie on the couch with her arms supported by herself. She looked at Li Wuxiang with wide eyes, as if she wanted to see his expression clearly: "What are you laughing at?"

"Have you been out to see it?" Li Wuxiang asked her, "Did Zhao Kui take you out to see it? Or did he say it all? Have you seen the sea of ​​fire ruins you mentioned with your own eyes?"

"I..."

Li Wuxiang sighed. It was not sadness or misery, but relief. Zhao Xi should indeed be a victim like himself, and this place should be built in some uninhabited place. Now, he is not in a hurry to go out. Because the original owner's muddled mind, most of his memories about who he is are messed up, and he knows nothing about this world.

Although Zhao Xi is not a normal person, he knows at least a little more than the original owner. He decided to ask everything immediately, at least to know what kind of situation he might face after leaving here, and then talk about "going out".

"Tell me about Zhao Kui first. What's going on with these children, and what's going on with you."

...

According to Zhao Xi, Zhao Kui is a Qi-refining master who is about to form a pill. This kind of cultivation is very rare in the eyes of ordinary people, and belongs to the "immortal stream" - of course, this may also be Zhao Kui bragging about himself.

About ten years ago, a great disaster occurred in the world. The sky collapsed, the earth sank, and fire rain fell suddenly. Within a few months, all living things in the world came to an end.

And Zhao Kui accidentally found an ancient immortal cave - this place - and spent a lot of effort to make the restrictions in the cave work again, and then got 102 children.

What Zhao Kui thought was that since the world was coming to an end, he might as well use this place to preserve some seeds of vitality for the world. On the other hand, he also wanted to use these children to refine "Taiyi".

Zhao Xi didn't know what "Taiyi" was, and Li Wuxiang felt that there seemed to be relevant knowledge somewhere in his memory, but he couldn't remember it for a while. However, this point confirmed his previous guess-the 101 children were part of a ceremony or sacrifice.

Zhao Xi served Zhao Kui for more than ten years, and Zhao Kui often felt lonely alone, so he occasionally revealed some of what he knew so that Zhao Xi would not be as muddleheaded as the children below.

Zhao Kui thought that after a few years, there would be a surviving master to clean up the world and eliminate the fire of destruction, but he didn't want to wait for eleven years until the food was about to run out, and the fire was still not extinguished. Therefore, a year ago, he cut off the food of the "hundred officials" below and starved them to death, while the most important "emperor" survived because of the secret protection of the paper man.

But after another year, the fire outside was still going on, so Zhao Kui had no choice but to stop feeding the "Emperor". Later, he noticed that the "Emperor" seemed to be different, so he told Zhao Xi that when refining "Taiyi", there were very rare situations that would attract external evil. He had only heard the ancestors say this, but never thought it would really happen, so he became suspicious.

"I have wanted to kill him for a long time." Zhao Xi was tired of talking, and lay flat on the couch again, but his breathing was smooth and his face was not pale, "He always tortured me--"

She was wearing a short dress, which was also very worn and exposed in many places. Li Wuxiang looked at her body-the girl was about fifteen or sixteen years old, and her appearance was not beautiful, but her skin was white and delicate, and except for the knife wound on her chest, there were no other scars.

"You don't have any other injuries."

"No, it hurts more than beating me. He treated me like this-" Zhao Xi bent his legs, "tortured me like this."

Li Wuxiang waved his hand: "Okay, I know. Then what?"

"Then I thought, if I don't have food for a while, he still wants to keep that evil spirit, that is, you, and then he will cut off my food. These days, I can only eat a little in two days. Since you are an evil spirit, you may be able to kill him, so I asked you to kill him. At that time, he was refining the elixir, and I thought he couldn't hear it, but he heard it, and I fought with him. I was going to be killed by him, but I cried and begged him to say that I knew I was wrong, and he came to help me, so I stabbed him to death."

"Isn't he a Qi-refining practitioner who is about to form a pill?"

Zhao Xi frowned: "A Qi-refining practitioner who is about to form a pill will die if his heart is stabbed?"

Li Wuxiang nodded. It seems that the "cultivators" in this world do not seem to be the kind of ridiculously strong monsters, but rather like the Taoists in ancient legends.

He thought for a moment: "Did he tell you what the outside world was like before the end of the world?"

"It didn't seem very good. I remember when I was a kid, in the first few years, he told me that the end of the world was not bad, and I wouldn't have to suffer the anger of the Eight Mysterious Sects and be driven to the wilderness. What else..."

Fuyuan Baosheng Pill has a strong effect. After a while, Zhao Xi's face has returned to normal. He even turned over and put his arm under his head. "What's the point of asking? Zhao Kui said that the mind of an external evil like you will definitely be affected by the original owner. Don't you find it difficult to listen? Besides, the outside is already a sea of ​​fire and ruins, and we can't get out... But you look much more pleasing to the eye than Zhao Kui. Thinking about it this way, you are a good external evil. Zhao Kui was scaring me before, saying that external evil will make people crazy, but you saved me."

When she said this, Li Wuxiang walked to the front room with a sharp-bladed short knife and checked the two remaining sacks. He found that they were indeed filled with food and medicinal materials, which were roasted very dry. It seems that the meatballs they ate downstairs were made of these things.

"We can eat those for several months." Zhao Xi got off the wooden couch, held the screen, and looked at Li Wuxiang worriedly, "I don't eat much, just give me a little every day."

Li Wuxiang turned around and looked at her: "You don't have to worry about this in the future. Tell me where the door is and how to get out, I'll give you a surprise."

"It's already a sea of ​​fire outside!"

Li Wuxiang knew that although Zhao Xi looked normal, she was actually no different from the original owner of this body, but was trapped in a slightly larger illusion. He didn't want to spend the effort to convince her, just looked at her silently.

Zhao Xi was frightened by his stare, shrank behind the screen, and pointed to the east side of the wooden couch: "... There."

Li Wuxiang walked to the stone wall on the east side, stretched out his hand and pushed it, and felt the wall slide outward a little. This should be the same as below, there is a door hidden in the wall. He added a little more force, and heard a slight friction sound, and the stone door had a tendency to open.

Maybe what Zhao Kui said to Zhao Xi was true. This was indeed the "immortal cave" he found, so he didn't know how to lock the door.

Li Wuxiang turned sideways and looked at Zhao Xi who was holding the screen and looking at him: "Look, see if there is a sea of ​​fire and ruins outside."

He exerted force with his arm again, and the door was pushed open a crack.

A strong heat wave rolled in, almost blowing him back, and the room was suddenly reflected in a fiery red. Li Wuxiang turned his head in astonishment-

Outside the door was a cliff, and the door seemed to be opened at the top of a cliff somewhere.

... He saw a sky full of rolling clouds of fire, countless fallen giant trees on the ground in the distance that were burned bright red, and the sea of ​​fire that filled the sky and the earth!

Let's welcome our No. 0001 leader Jie Yu Haitanghua while spinning and clapping!

The second update will be at eight o'clock in the morning.
