After he finished smearing the blood, he breathed a sigh of relief and held the sword again. Suddenly, he felt a sense of flesh and blood connected. It seemed that the sword in his hand was an extension of his life. This was an indescribable feeling. He had never felt it before. However, even though he and Xiu Jian had been together day and night for more than ten years, he never felt this way.
Tianlan smiled and threw him a scabbard. He said: "Remember, the sword is the other half of a swordsman's life. Never handle it casually. Pay attention to it, care for it, and maintain it. Just like you did before. It's wrong. From today on, you must treat this sword well. Otherwise, I will destroy it with my own hands."
When Ye Yi heard this, he hugged the sword tightly and nodded quickly. His expression was as if someone was trying to steal his treasure. It was a bit childish, but very sincere.
"Also, this sword has just been completed. It is sharp but not spiritual enough. Don't think that this sword is indestructible. If it were to face that peerless and vicious sword again, it would still be damaged. But fortunately, after undergoing the ritual of sword sacrifice, the sword has already been damaged. It begins to sprout spirituality. Given time, it will definitely become a famous sword that shocks the continent. Before that, don't let it die halfway."
Ye Yi's face changed when he heard him mention the vicious sword. He said, "Tianlan. What if we encounter that strange sword again."
Tianlan suppressed her smile. A complicated look flashed in her eyes and said: "If you encounter that vicious sword again... you don't need to take action. Leave it to me..."
Anyway, there is no guarantee that he will encounter that vicious sword. Ye Yi didn't care. He hugged his sword and couldn't help but stroke it over and over again. He murmured: "Tianlan, what do you think I should call it?"
Tianlan showed a very shallow smile and said: "Your sword is naturally decided by you."
"My sword..." Ye Yi looked at the long sword. "I hope this sword can accompany me throughout my life. I will never leave it. I will hold it tightly until the moment I die. I have decided. This sword is called ' Sword of Life and Death'."
"The Sword of Life and Death...from life to death, accompanying life and death..." Tian Lan smiled, but there was an unspeakable premonition in his heart. It seemed that the Sword of Life and Death made him feel bad... This feeling was inexplicable. Obviously it was The sword he forged himself. What's wrong with it?
Ye Yi happily left with the Sword of Life and Death in his arms. Tian Lan fell down on his bed tiredly. He felt that he had no strength at all. He had been exhausted from forging the Sword of Life and Death these days. Today he fought against Ling Jiutian again. It didn't consume much, but it also made his mind more tired. It finally came to an end. He relaxed a little and almost fell into sleep.
At this time, there was a knock on the door. Tian Lan opened his eyes suddenly. He sat up and opened the door. He saw Tao'er. He smiled and said, "You came to see me for something. Please come in."
Tao'er was not polite. She jumped in and found a chair to sit on. She crossed her legs and said, "Alan, Uncle Ling asked us to do something for him. This is it." She took out the storage ring. A package of things, wrapped in oil paper. When pinched, it made a sound similar to the breaking of dead branches. It seemed to be something like tobacco. It exuded a faint aroma.
She explained: "These are the stems and leaves of 'Snake Caller'. They are smoked into hay and the aroma is intensified. We don't smell much. But they are the favorites of snakes and pythons. Especially male pythons... so they are usually It is used as a tool to attract snakes and pythons. As long as you carry it, nearby snakes and pythons will come closer if they smell it. This scent is very strong. Ordinary small snakes and pythons do not dare to approach. For Li Qingqing, the fiery red python has a special smell. Fatal Attraction.”
Tian Lan nodded and said, "You mean, Senior Ling wants us to use Snake Calling Grass as bait to attract Senior Li to appear."
Taoer smiled and said: "Smart. As expected of A Lan. Uncle Ling said that although the big python likes this kind of snake-calling grass, it is really scared of him. If this snake-calling grass is on Uncle Ling's body." Even if the dose was ten times more, the boa constrictor would not dare to come. So he asked me for help. Hehe."
Looking at her weird smile, she must have plundered a lot of good things from Ling Jiutian along the way. Besides, with Ling Jiutian by her side, nothing will really happen to her even if she is used as bait. Her mission is just to lure Li Qingwu out. .
Tao'er tossed the oil bag up and down casually and said: "So, let's stay here for a few more days. Li Qingqing will arrive in the next two days. Just be careful then. It is said that the big python destroys indiscriminately. .”
"Okay." Tianlan had seen the flaming red python before. He also knew the terrifying destructive power of the flaming red python. Naturally, he would not underestimate it.
"Well, I told Agui just now. But I couldn't find that idiot. I don't know where he went." As she said that, she grabbed the oil bag and prepared to go out.
"Wait a minute." Tian Lan stopped her and said, "You can hold the Snake Calling Grass. Isn't it too dangerous?" Whoever holds the Snake Calling Grass will be the primary attack target of Li Wuqing and the Fiery Red Python. Target. Although Ling Jiutian is by the side, there is still a risk if Ling Jiutian does not take action or is delayed for a moment.
He smiled and said: "If you can trust me, just give me the Snake Calling Grass. I have met Senior Li once and know him better. The risk will be lower if I hold it. It can also delay time."
Tao'er played with her long hair with one hand and thought: "This is not good. After all, it is what I promised. There is no need for you to bear the risk."
Tianlan smiled and said: "We are friends. Do we need to be so open-minded? What you promised is also what we promised. Besides, Senior Ling gave me a lot of guidance today. It's okay to help him with such a small favor." "
Tao'er hesitated for a while, but gave him the oil bag. Then she kicked Nangong Kui out of his original room when she went out, and asked Ling Jiutian to move into that room, because it was the room next to Tianlan.
Two days passed in a hurry. Everyone was doing their own thing during these two days. Tianlan tried to master most of the five-star spells. Ye Yi was completely adapted to the sword of life and death. Nangong Kui was busy practicing. Taoer was He was pestering Ling Jiutian to play around.
Since Tianlan wanted to test the magic, he couldn't stay in the room. So he spent most of the past two days in the open space. Naturally, Ling Jiutian couldn't stay with him for twelve hours. But he made his promise firmly. .As soon as Li Qingqing appears, no matter where Tianlan is, he will definitely arrive in half a stick of incense.
On this day, Tian Lan was meditating in the open space to recover his spiritual energy. Suddenly there was a subtle vibration in the air. He opened his eyes instantly and saw Li Qingwu standing in front of him in a black robe. Unexpectedly, this snake-calling grass directly hit Li Qingwu. Led out.
Li Qingqing's dress has not changed. He is still wearing a gloomy black robe, which tightly wraps his body from head to toe. His face is sallow, as if he has been malnourished for a long time. His eye sockets are sunken and slightly wrinkled. If you don't know his details, People may mistake him for a demon heretic. After all, he doesn't look like a noble and arrogant fire warlock...
Today, Li Wuqing came to see the snake-calling grass at Xiaolie's request. He habitually wondered if this time it was still Ling Jiutian's trap. Although Xiaolie was sure that there was no scent of Ling Jiutian in the snake-calling grass, he still felt uneasy. . He had to confirm it with his own eyes. So he specially comforted the love python, and then came to investigate alone.
Maybe others would think that such meticulous care for a python is too much. But Li Wuqing doesn't think so. Xiaolie is a python. However, his status in his heart is no less than that of his only relative. He has few people in this world. A friend. Therefore, I couldn’t bear to let Xiaolie experience even a little risk.
It is unprecedented for him to show such affection to a snake.
However, he did not expect that the young man who possessed the superior snake-calling grass that Xiao Lie pointed out was actually this young man. He and Tian Lan had met in Lingxiao City. At that time, he had vaguely discovered the strangeness of Tian Lan. With him The person his friend Old Immortal Yunxiao was looking for was very similar. So after he got rid of Ling Jiutian's entanglement, he immediately informed Old Immortal Yunxiao. Yunxiao also really had great magical powers. He found Tianlan with just a few words of description from Li Qingwu. So he found Tianlan. Only then did the scene of Baihua Valley happen.
It can be said that it was precisely because of meeting Li Qingwu that Tian Lan was able to meet the old immortal Yunxiao, know the method of extending his life, obtain Xuantian nectar, and survive the spiritual calamity... all of this seemed to have nothing to do with Li Qingwu. But Li Qingqing chose not to. It was an extremely important and indispensable part. Of course, Yun Xiao didn't have time to explain to Tian Lan. At this time, Tian Lan didn't know that he and Li Qingqing still had this relationship.
Li Qingqing looked him up and down and grinned. But he was not good-looking in the first place. His skin was sallow and his face was old. This smile made him look like a very evil ghost.
Tian Lan stood up with a calm expression, saluted him leisurely, and asked, knowingly, "I wonder what the senior is doing when he comes here specifically to look for this junior."
Li Qingqing admired Tianlan's calmness at this time. After all, the two sides were at war with each other the last time they met. This time he was alone here. He was obviously still at a disadvantage. From common sense, he should be prepared to be on guard or even turn around and run away. But look He looked calm and collected, without even a hint of nervousness. If he had not experienced strong winds and waves, it would be difficult to develop such a strong character.
"Yes. That's right. You're still alive. That means he didn't find the wrong person."
The "him" in these words refers to the old god Yunxiao. But in Tianlan's ears, it was a sentence that had no beginning or end. He asked in confusion: "What are you talking about?" He originally wanted to delay time. .But Li Wuqing’s inexplicable words really aroused his curiosity.
Li Wuqing shook his head. He felt that he didn't need to say so much. Just do your own thing. He was helping Yunxiao and had nothing to do with Tianlan. Speaking out was like asking for credit, which was not beautiful.
He originally thought that if the other party was not strong, he could just grab the snake-calling grass. The trouble now is: the snake-calling grass is on this young man. As a good friend of the old immortal Yunxiao, he doesn't look at the monk's face to see the Buddha's face. Why? You have to give Yunxiao some face. How can he have the nerve to rob other people's things?
But Xiaolie likes the snake-calling grass so much. He must take it back no matter what...
