just a tabby cat

Chapter 245 Meow, breaking the balance

"Is it here?" Li Hua turned her head and asked Xiu Ze Yuanshen who was following her: "What can you feel?"

This mountain has obvious traces of artificial carving, and there is no grass growing on the mountain, although she can't feel anything abnormal.But her intuition told her that there must be something strange in this mountain.

"It's here." Xiu Ze nodded, and he heard the voice again, which was weaker than what he heard just now.

"Xiu Ze..., Xiu Ze..., Xiu Ze..." kept calling his name.

"How to get in?" Li Hua went around the mountain, but did not find the entrance, except for the mountain wall, which was still smooth, as if it was born as a towering mountain.

"Smear my blood on the mountain wall."

"What?" Li Hua looked up at him, "Are you sure."

"determine."

Now that it's confirmed, Li Hua has nothing to worry about.Since Xiu Ze's throat was cut, the blood on his body has basically run out, but there will always be squeezes.

Li Hua drew out her sword, and unceremoniously slashed his wrist, and squeezed it out hard, but only squeezed out a few drops of blood.

Not reconciled, he scratched his other wrist and two ankles, and just barely took half of the jade bottle.

Xiu Ze's mouth twitched, but he didn't make a sound.What he wanted to tell her was: just one drop is all it takes.But obviously, Li Hua took this opportunity to vent her dissatisfaction with him.

Sure enough, Li Hua shook the blood in the bottle, and said to him, "If you had spoken all over your body at that time, let alone the blood, you might even have dried up the flesh."

Xiu Ze touched his nose, but did not refute. Experience taught him that it is the best policy to keep quiet at this time.

Li Hua took the jade bottles and threw them at the stone wall at will.

The moment the stone wall was stained with blood, it began to tremble, and after a while, a hole that could accommodate one person appeared in front of him.

"Go." Li Hua helped Xiu Ze's body and walked in, complaining from time to time: "You are too heavy, can't you go back into your body?"

"I'm sorry, I'm not very proficient in returning the soul from a dead body." Xiu Ze said, the truth is, his body was actually rejecting his soul at the moment his soul entered, as if the soul was an outsider, he was afraid Talking out made her worry.

"Okay, as long as your body is lifeless, you should think about how to preserve the body." Li Hua said with resentment.

After all, she is a fairy with all-round talents in civil and military affairs, how can she not be trusted by him like this, in just two breaths, she will be able to resolve the decline, without his sacrifice at all.Li Hua lowered her head, only feeling stuffy in her heart, with unspeakable emotions lingering in her heart, lingering.

"I'm sorry." Xiu Ze whispered three words.

Li Hua's body trembled, she lowered her head and said nothing, and continued to walk forward with her arm.

This is an extremely long mountain road, rugged and difficult to walk, and it goes up and down circle after circle, as if it is impossible to see the bottom.

Li Hua supported Xiu Ze's hand, which was extremely sore and numb, but she didn't dare to stop, moved forward step by step, gritted her teeth and looked ahead, the determination in her eyes made Xiu Ze, who wanted to ask her to rest, just Silently followed her.

"It really is here." Xunyue, who was a step behind, raised her head and looked at the peak of the mountain. Unlike the previous situation where there was nothing there, the peak at this time was shining brightly, as if it contained the most precious treasure in the world.

"Already advanced." Xunyue looked at the cave, with a grin on the corner of her mouth: "It seems that this trip has gained a lot."

After nearly four hours of climbing, Li Hua felt physically and mentally exhausted, but she dared not stop.Holding Xiu Ze's hand, he has lost consciousness.Sweat ran down his forehead, and the front of his clothes was soaked with sweat.

Originally, Xiu Ze could still follow her footsteps and be indifferent, but now he stopped in front of her, trying to block her progress.

But he forgot that he was just a soul, a soul without entity, not even spells.

She watched Li Hua pass through his body, but he couldn't do anything.

Xiu Ze clenched his fists, let out a heavy breath, and followed Li Hua slumpedly. All he hoped was that when she was tired, he could make his body a cushion for her.

One more step, one more step.Li Hua kept cheering herself up in her heart, she felt that she couldn't hold on any longer, and she might fall to the ground in the next breath.

But in front of her eyes, there was a light that guided her step by step.

The light told her that if she caught it, the long journey would be over.

"Li Hua, Li Hua..." Xiu Ze shouted in a panic, echoing in her ears.

Li Hua stretched out her hand, trying to tell him not to worry, she had already caught the light, and she tried to spread her palm, wanting him to see the gorgeous light.

But the drowsiness sweeping her whole body forced her to close her eyelids.

"Li Hua..." Seeing Li Hua close her eyes, Xiu Ze couldn't help shouting, trying to wake her up.

"Xiu Ze..."

"Who?"

"I, you can see me when you look up."

"Old turtle?" Xiu Ze raised his head, and saw the figure of old turtle appearing in front of the door blocked by stones.

"Yes, Old Turtle." The figure nodded: "But it's not him."

"What do you mean?"

"Look." Following the figure's hand, Xiu Ze saw a row of turtle shells, there were more than 30 of them neatly arranged there.

"We are all called Old Turtle."

Xiu Ze understands that Old Turtle is their name passed down from generation to generation, which is equivalent to a title, fulfilling the mission they have been waiting for for generations.

"What is your purpose?"

"Purpose?" The figure chuckled, hunched over, and took two steps forward: "Give me back my strength."

"Give it back to me? I'm just a mortal."

"Until now, do you still think you are a mortal?" Old Gui smiled at him, his wise eyes seemed to penetrate his thoughts.

Xiu Ze was speechless, even though his body was a mortal, but the moment the vision appeared on him, he had nothing to do with mortals.

"Go." The figure moved away, presenting Shimen in front of his eyes: "There is the answer you want later, I don't have much time, maybe in the next moment, I will disappear in the world."

After speaking, the figure passed through the stone gate and disappeared in front of his eyes.

Xiu Ze looked at Li Hua who was lying on the ground, his breathing was steady, he let out a sigh of relief, followed the old turtle and disappeared into the stone gate.

"Heh." Xunyue popped her head out from the turning below, and snorted coldly: "In the face of absolute power, you are still abandoned."

As she spoke, she stepped forward and patted Li Hua's face, her eyes flickered with an unknown light, she suddenly stopped, and then her body fell limply to the ground, hitting Li Hua's body.

"In that case, help me take care of my body by the way." Xunyue said, Yuanshen followed through the stone gate and disappeared.

"Old Gui?" Seeing the figure in front of her, Li Hua asked suspiciously, "Aren't you dead?"

"Yes, I'm dead." The old turtle sighed, looked into the distance, and said leisurely: "No one ever told me that after death, I will be arrested."
