Chapter 42: Hmm? Just let it go?
Back then, the righteous immortal sects joined forces to set up a barrier at the entrance to the demon world.
This is equivalent to a seal, used to prevent the big monsters in the monster world from invading the human world. However, although the barrier is at the entrance to the monster world, the seal array itself is some distance away from the entrance to the monster world, at the moat at the other end of Tiandu City.
Xie Chengjin and his team are going to the moat to check the seal.
Xie Yanyu wanted to follow,
In the end, I went with him as I wished.
Different from the entrance to the demon world,
The entrance to the demon world is in the wild mountains on the outskirts of the city, in the wilderness, rarely visited by people; the terrain near the moat is flat, closer to the area where people live, with some people living there, and it can even be said to be lively, with markets, taverns, and inns around it.
After reaching the moat, Xie Yanyu and his group stayed at an inn by the river.
Because Xie Chengjin was injured, Helan Wei was also injured when he caught the vengeful ghost, and Xie Yanyu was blind, so no one had plans to go out. The three of them had three rooms, and after entering the inn, they rested in their rooms.
at the moment,
Xie Yanyu was staying quietly in the room.
She leaned back on the couch and took a nap with her eyes closed. Her eyelashes trembled slightly from time to time, as if she was about to fall asleep.
The system sees this,
After a while, he couldn't help but sarcastically say, "How bizarre! You actually just leaned on this and slept?"
Xie Yanyu heard this but did not answer it.
Her eyes were still closed and she looked like she was about to fall asleep, so she didn't hear it.
But the system knew she heard it.
She just didn't bother with it.
Generally speaking, she will only communicate with it when she needs it. If not, she will be indifferent.
But the system had long been accustomed to her behavior, and it continued: "I thought you would rush to advance the plot. Helan Wei is right next door. Such a good opportunity to advance the plot, and you actually didn't go. It's not like you at all."
It talks a lot and densely,
Xie Yanyu felt a headache after hearing this, and finally replied indifferently: I don’t want to go.
There are four plot lines in total.
She hasn't met the Demon Lord yet, so she can't follow that plot line for the time being; there aren't many plot lines between her and Xie Chengjin, but most of them can't be followed now; Li Xun should be on his way here and hasn't arrived yet, so right now, the only plot line she can follow is Helan Wei's.
She doesn't like wasting time.
Logically speaking, she should race against time to find Helan Wei.
After all, the sooner you complete the plot, the sooner you become an immortal.
The system knew how much she longed to become an immortal, and asked in confusion: [Why don't you want to go?]
Xie Yanyu thought,
Because he must be in a bad mood now.
She could figure out a little bit of his psychology. He treated her as a plaything and looked down on her, but he couldn't accept her eyes lingering on others, so he couldn't accept her getting close to others, even if that person was her nominal stepbrother.
She felt that he was suppressing his anger on the road just now, but she had been pretending to be dead in the first half of the journey, and there were other people in the car in the second half, including Xie Chengjin, so even if he wanted to have a conflict with her, it would not be convenient.
But if she went to find him now and stayed alone with him, who knew if he would torment her.
Talking to him lately is like walking on a tightrope; there's no guarantee that every word I say hits the mark.
Xie Yanyu would occasionally wonder,
Why would he sometimes get so angry over a small matter? But then she thought about it and realized that he was a lunatic at heart, so she felt it was normal.
She didn't want to waste time speculating about him, nor did she want to cause trouble.
Instead of going to him and risking a conflict with him, it is better to wait and see until he calms down before going to him.
She thought to herself,
But it did not answer the system's question.
She didn't want to talk much to the system.
She was a little sleepy after running around for days. She couldn't fall asleep leaning on the couch, so she got up and groped for the bed in the room.
But because she couldn't see, she tripped over the small table next to her after taking only two steps and fell directly to the ground. Fortunately, she supported her body with her elbows in time and was not hurt. Only her calf was hit by the sharp corners of the table.
She sat on the ground and rubbed the place where her calf was hit.
She didn't like this feeling because she couldn't see and felt passive, so she asked the system: Do you know how long it will take for my eyes to recover?
System: […It will take at least two months.]
Xie Yanyu was a little surprised: So long?
Although she knew that her eyes could recover on their own, she never thought it would take so long.
She had thought she would recover in three to five days.
The system said: [After all, you are now at the Jindan stage of cultivation. When you broke through the realm, your spiritual energy backfired on your entire spiritual vein. Although your cultivation will be able to be used again in a few days, your spiritual vein is still damaged. It will take a month or two to heal it. Your eyes will only recover after you heal your spiritual vein.]
It said: [There's a scene in the original plot where you became night blind while trying to help Helan Wei get a treasure. One of the reasons for this was because you damaged your spiritual vein.]
Only then did Xie Yanyu remember this plot.
It is clear that
The original plot did not mention in detail what she experienced when she took the treasure that caused her night blindness.
But at this moment, a vague image suddenly flashed through her mind, as if it was related to what she experienced when she took the treasure, but it was fragmented. She tried to grasp it but couldn't. She just felt that these images were very familiar, as if she had experienced these before, and this was her own memory.
But she knew very well,
She hasn't experienced this yet; it's just a plot line in the book.
As she thought about this, she keenly sensed something was wrong, but when she tried to think about it carefully, she got a headache, so she covered her head and took a break.
Seeing this, the system asked: [What happened? ]
Upon hearing this, Xie Yanyu originally wanted to ask the system,
But she also always felt that something was wrong with the system, as if something was being hidden from her.
So she thought for a moment, and finally said: It's okay, my eyes just hurt.
System: [Alright. If you really feel uncomfortable, you can also go find Helan Wei.]
In the original plot,
After Xie Yanyu became night blind,
Helan Wei also found many doctors to treat her, but they said that it was not only a problem with her spiritual veins, but also that she had inner demons that could not be cured. So in the end, Helan Wei simply gave her a talisman.
This talisman is called the Mingxin Talisman.
Although it cannot restore her sight during night blindness, it can help her perceive the outlines of surrounding objects. Although she cannot see with her eyes, she can have a very vague picture in her mind.
Upon hearing this, Xie Yanyu paused in rubbing his calf.
The system said quietly: [You don't really want to be blind for two months, do you?]
*
The other side.
Helan Wei sat in the room and healed his wounds for a while.
Then he started playing chess with himself, trying to calm his mind, but the white piece remained on his fingertips and never fell.
He heard someone standing at the door of his room.
Just by listening to the footsteps, you can tell it's Xie Yanyu, but she stopped when she reached his door.
He sat still where he was,
After listening to the noise outside the door for a while, he realized that Xie Yanyu was hesitating, wondering whether to come in.
He didn't know why she hesitated, but he didn't intend to explore it. If she wanted to come in, she would come in. He didn't feel the need to guess what she was thinking, so he turned his attention back to the chessboard.
But the monk's five senses are sharp,
There was no window in the room, but he could hear the rustling sound of bamboo leaves in the bamboo forest not far outside the window.
The rustling sound was very loud and disturbed people's minds.
After a while,
He threw the white piece directly into the chess basket and walked to the window.
Opening the window, he saw the bamboo forest not far away. There was no wind at all, but the bamboo leaves were not quiet at all. They swayed from time to time and made noises, clearly not allowing him to have peace and quiet.
For a moment he thought of Xie Yanyu outside the door.
He clearly didn't ask her to come over, but she came over on her own.
However, when she arrived at his door, she did not come in, which was as disturbing as the bamboo swaying in the wind at the door.
There was a moment,
He wanted to use his spiritual power to smash the bamboos directly.
However, just as he was about to take action, he stopped for some reason.
After another long while,
He suddenly walked to the door, opened it, and said to the person outside, "Come in."
*
Xie Yanyu came to Helan Wei to get the Mingxin Talisman from him.
Although she knew that he was in a bad mood and didn't want to come to him at this time, the feeling of being blind was too unbearable. She didn't like this passive feeling, so she came to him anyway.
But just as he reached his door,
Then she suddenly thought that since he was in a bad mood, if she came to him, she might not even be able to follow the plot smoothly, let alone ask him for the Mingxin Talisman.
The feeling of being blind was too unbearable, so when she heard the system's words just now, she didn't think about it carefully and just came here impulsively.
She thought of this,
I stood at his door again, debating whether to come back another time.
But before she could think it through,
He opened the door and asked her to come in.
Xie Yanyu knew that a cultivator with Helan Wei's level of cultivation had very sharp five senses and could sense that she was standing outside.
But she had stood at his door before and hesitated whether to go in to find him, but he never asked her to come in. He always waited for her to knock on the door and go in. Even if she decided not to look for him after hesitating and turned to leave, he would not react at all.
Now Helan Wei is like this,
Xie Yanyu was rather surprised and paused for a moment: "...Young Master?"
She greeted him but did not come into the house immediately.
Seeing that she didn't move,
Helan Wei's face darkened a little.
He stared at her for a moment, then said coldly, "Xie Chengjin is about to go out."
He suddenly said this,
Xie Yanyu came back to his senses, but didn't quite understand what he meant and didn't know why he suddenly mentioned this.
However, at this time,
She heard him say again: "Didn't you tell him that you don't know me well? If you stand here and don't come in, and he sees you, how are you going to explain it?"
As soon as these words fell,
He seemed to have lost his patience.
Without waiting for her reaction, he reached out and pulled her into the room. Their hands touched and held each other briefly, and then he let go. However, their body temperatures had blended together, leaving a hint of the coolness between her fingers.
The whole incident happened too fast.
Xie Yanyu was pulled into the room before he realized what he had just said.
Then,
She felt a headache.
She knew it.
She came to see him, and he probably wanted to bring up old matters with her. Wasn't he already bringing up what happened before?
Just now, he went against his usual behavior and let her in. He must have been holding back his anger and wanted to make trouble for her, and now it just so happened that she came to him.
She was a little irritable.
I hesitated at his door before, originally because I didn't want to conflict with him.
It’s not because I’m afraid, but because I find it troublesome and don’t want to waste my energy on such things.
But now that he has pulled her in, there is no need for her to avoid him anymore.
Anyway, it wasn't the first time he had picked on her, and she had even started to get used to him going crazy.
So she tilted her head towards him.
She stood still, with no intention of leaving, but she also did not say a word, quietly waiting for him to criticize her.
Helan Wei was so angry that he almost laughed when he saw her like this.
She, who came to him first, did not speak.
She even acted as if she was waiting for him to speak first.
His face was gloomy, and he stared at her for a long time: "You——"
His tone was also a little cold, as if he was about to have a fit.
But when he saw the white silk tied around her eyes and realized that her face was almost paler than the silk, and she looked listless, like a bamboo that was about to break in the bamboo forest outside the window, he felt very uncomfortable, but for some reason, he held back the critical words that were on the tip of his tongue.
Xie Yanyu heard him say one word and was still waiting for his next words.
But after waiting for a long time,
Then I heard him say again: "...Forget it. What do you want from me?"
Xie Yanyu:?
Xie Yanyu heard his tone just now and was ready for him to find fault.
But now, after hearing this, she felt a little confused.
Um?
Just let it go?
