The apprentice always wants to kill me

Chapter 56

The child's expression was numb, his pupils were dilated, and his face was not facing Eucommia, but the shriveled dark brown dead thing that had been sucked dry by the blood-sucking spider.

Du Zhong touched him again, and said softly, "What's wrong? What are you looking at?"

This seemed to bring the child back to his senses. He shivered violently and was about to cry again: "Where is Grandpa, did you see that?"

Since he asked this, it probably disappeared under his nose, but he still couldn't believe it.

Du Zhong glanced at the shriveled dead thing from the corner of his eye, not knowing how to respond.After a while, he sighed, moved forward, hugged the child and patted his back, and answered the irrelevant question: "It's all right now."

After seeing Gu Qingli, he suddenly twitched his body, causing Dabai to spit him out on the ground.

He looked at Eucommia's way of coaxing children from a distance, and felt that a string in his heart that he hadn't even noticed was suddenly touched. For a moment, he couldn't tell what it was like, this feeling was too complicated, and he couldn't explain it clearly. Is it jealousy or something else.

It had happened to him when he was an unworldly child, but no one had ever comforted him then.

Seeing that no one answered him, the child seemed to have come back to his senses, with that numb look on his face again, he hugged his knees tightly, sobbed and stopped talking.

Du Zhong knew what it was like to have the sky collapse in an instant, even if he saw it with his own eyes, he still didn't believe it.

I desperately want to get comfort from somewhere, but the words of others are just scratching the surface, and finally float on the surface without strength.

Du Zhong didn't say any more, and just patted the other party's thin shoulder for the last time.

At this time, there was another rustling sound coming from all directions. Du Zhong stood up with a sullen face, only to see several big black spiders crawling over.

It was probably the sound made by the blood-sucking spider before it died that attracted them, which made them crawl extremely fast.

"I'll take care of it." At this moment, Dabai suddenly took a step forward, shaking his hair and transforming into a human form.She has a nimble and graceful figure, with long and slender fingers, with a cold light shining on her fingertips, and she looks extremely sharp.

As soon as she finished speaking, she rushed forward quickly.

After all, the blood-sucking spider is also a kind of monster. Suddenly seeing a big monster approaching, it only froze for a moment before being seized by Dabai, who clawed down and smashed the big spider's body. Layer crust.

Du Zhong glanced at her twice, and saw that she was still able to do things with ease, so he looked away and looked at Gu Qingli who was thrown on the ground.

He was being sniffed around by a group of fox cubs at this time, probably because they knew he was a big monster, and the little cubs were instinctively in awe, so they didn't bite.

For some reason, when he just looked at the child, he suddenly thought of Gu Qingli's appearance when he was a child.

Now that Du Zhong saw the other party lying on the ground alone, he still felt a little distressed, and the anger in his heart disappeared.

He silently walked over to pick up Gu Qingli from the ground, and kicked it back into his sleeve without saying a word.

After a moment of silence, Gu Qingli spoke: "I know why Master is angry with me."

Oh?Du Zhong raised his eyebrows and didn't answer, thinking: anger is very complicated, I don't think you can see it.

Gu Qingli's current figure can only wrap around Eucommia's forearm once, and he wrapped it tightly before saying: "Master never wants to harm others, but others may not come to harm us."

This really unexpectedly guessed his heart.

In fact, besides being angry that Gu Qingli left him and ran away, Du Zhong was also angry that Gu Qingli would do evil things.No matter what the reason is, an apprentice who would easily take away other people's wealth and life made him feel a little strange. Although he would not blame the other party, but there was a sense of estrangement in his heart.

The other party said that he didn't want to drag him down, but maybe part of the reason was just that he didn't want to show his vicious side in front of Du Zhong.

Du Zhong was caught in his mind at once, stunned for a moment, and subconsciously put on an appearance of being a teacher: "It's true, but I hope you still..."

Gu Qingli didn't wait for him to finish, and said: "Just this time, I will always listen to Master from now on."

He usually keeps a low profile, but he didn't expect that being a good boy this time won the hearts of the people.

At this time, a breeze blew in front of him, and Xiaobai, who was still hanging on Du Zhong's neck, suddenly raised his head and twisted the tip of his nose twice, saying: "Master, I smell the smell of a living person."

After finishing speaking, he cocked his tail to grasp his balance, and climbed off Du Zhong: "This way."

Xiaobai ran forward, wagging his tail, Du Zhong immediately followed after greeting Dabai.

The dirt roads in the countryside are full of potholes, and the gates of the houses on both sides are locked. When they pass by quickly, they can still hear the calls of some people's livestock, as if they haven't left yet.

Xiaobai ran to the open space under a big banyan tree at the end of the village and stopped. He lowered his head and sniffed the ground. After a circle, he stood up and grabbed the edge of a well: "It's down there."

Du Zhong followed his movements and probed to see, only to see that the well was not very deep, but it was wide, and the mouth was still dry.Although it was dark down the well, Du Zhong could still see clearly that there were many people below.

It was probably because they had heard Xiaobai's movement before, and they were all looking up at him at this moment.Du Zhong squinted his eyes and looked carefully. The people in the well were shivering and huddled together. Most of them were old people, and there were also a few children.

Du Zhong asked, "What is the old man doing down here?"

Eucommia is used to gentleness and politeness, and when he speaks, he appears very soft and not aggressive.Although the people below didn't know who he was, they all lowered their guard.

One of them said hoarsely: "We are taking refuge."

Du Zhong guessed that they were probably avoiding those blood-sucking spiders, but to be honest, it was useless to just hide in the well. Blood-sucking spiders can still find living people by relying on smell and sound, but they can be eaten for a while later.

He watched the dying old man and the unknowing children huddled together in the dark dry well, and felt a little distressed because of fear: "Those spiders have already been killed, and the dampness in the well is not good for your health, so come up first. "

The people in the well hesitated, and there was still a little bit of vigilance in their hearts, but Eucommia had already jumped down from the top first, and hugged them out of the well one by one with a sound of offense.

At this time, Dabai had also followed.Although she fought all the way, her body was still spotless and not stained with any filth: "My lord, it's all settled, let's go quickly."

She walks lightly, and when she raises her hands and feet, she looks seductive, and she looks much more immortal than Eucommia.

When everyone came out of the well, they saw that it was really quiet outside, so they believed it and said gratefully: "Thank you, the immortal, for your help."

Du Zhong waved his hand to signal them not to take it seriously, and asked, "Why are you hiding in the well?"

Everyone was quiet for a while, and only one person replied: "We have lived in this village for generations, because we are the closest to the fairy gate, we have some contacts, and occasionally receive blessings, so no monsters from the demon realm have ever come here before. But these two days For some reason, Xianmen has completely abandoned us, and there are more and more monsters in the Demon Realm."

After hearing this, Dabai said contemptuously: "Then why are you still living here? We saw some people running out with their burdens on their backs, why didn't you follow? Do you have to stay here and wait for death?"

Dabai is a born demon, many things are just a matter of waving his sleeves in her eyes, so she doesn't understand the pain of life, old age, sickness, death, and helplessness.

They grew up here, and spent all their hard work and energy here when they were young. Now they have entered the final stage of their lives, and their entire lives are tied to this village in the yellow sand, and they cannot leave.

The blood-sucking spider in Moxiu's hands can easily destroy the village in the desert that was formed by generations of hard work just by moving its claws and fangs.

Those who are still young still have enough energy to leave here to create a new world, but those who are old can't move and don't want to leave. They can only stay here and die with the village.

Dabai's unearthly words are straightforward and hurtful. Sure enough, someone said sadly: "We are old and can't do anything. Where can we go?"

As he spoke, he forcibly pulled out the young child who was hugging his calf from behind him, and tremblingly licked his lips, hoping: "This is my little grandson. His parents died a few days ago, so he had to follow him." Me. Those people who left the village earlier, none of them wanted to take other people’s children with them. If they couldn’t leave, they could only stay with me and wait to die.…This child is quite sensible, I wonder if the immortal would like to reward him with a life?”

Dabai tilted his head slightly, and said to Du Zhong: "My lord, we have been here for too long, we must leave quickly, otherwise they will catch up."

Du Zhong could only smile apologetically: "We are going to the Demon Realm, which is much more dangerous than here, and we cannot lead others to find a way out."

But he beckoned to a slightly older child, took out a bottle of Bigu Pill and three spirit stones from his sleeve, and handed them over, raised his hand and pointed in a direction: "Look in that direction."

The half-grown child took it, glanced timidly at Du Zhong, and then looked at the direction of his finger: "Yes."

"You guys, take one elixir a day, and you won't starve to death. Take these stones, these are spirit stones, enough for you to exchange for some supplies. Keep walking in this direction, and you can go to the fairy gate Find a chance to survive."

When a group of dying people heard Eucommia pointing out the way out, their old eyes lit up, and they immediately pushed out the children who had shrunk behind the crowd because of their birth: "Go and thank the immortal!"

After finishing speaking, he would forcefully hold the child down and kowtow to Du Zhong.

Du Zhong immediately stretched out his hand to give them a little help, then smiled and said: "It's okay, it's just a matter of little effort. I wish you a smooth journey."

The remaining children were gathered together, the older one held the object given by Du Zhong, as if he had just realized something, he suddenly knelt down in front of him, leaned down and hissed in a low voice: "Your great kindness, we have nothing to repay!"

After saying that, he squeezed his little hands and stood up, pulled the younger children around him to get some soft food, and prepared to leave.

The remaining old people sat around the edge of the well, watching the children go further and further away, not knowing what they were thinking.After a while, they looked back and lingered on the houses in the village: "Thank you, the immortal, for finding a way out for them, and allowing us to live for two more days."

Du Zhong nodded, Dabai urged again: "Let's go quickly."

At this time, the sky has begun to turn slightly white, and it is almost dawn.Du Zhong took one last look at these people who were guarding their homes and sitting around the edge of the well waiting to die, and took the lead to leave.

Xiaobai screamed and quickly leaned on Du Zhong again, and Dabai, shaking his hair, also picked up the group of youngsters on his back and followed Du Zhong on the road.

She turned her head and looked at the small village that was drifting away, and sighed: "My lord is really kind, I hope you will repay him with kindness."

Du Zhong laughed after hearing this: "I accept your good words."

At this time, the sky was already bright, and in the morning light, one could vaguely see a group of black giant spiders crawling across the yellow sand in the distance, heading towards the direction of the Demon Realm.

They ate very full overnight, and they didn't know how many miles they ate people in such a large-scale hunting.

Eucommia occasionally passed by them, and these spiders were probably full, so they ignored him and crawled slowly on the sand by themselves.

At this moment, Dabai suddenly shook his ears, and said loudly, "Here we come!"

Hearing this, Du Zhong took a slanted glance back from the corner of his eye, and saw a few small black dots appeared on the horizon, someone was chasing him.

Now they are only one step away from the border of the Demon Realm, and the blood-sucking spiders around them are so dense that there is only one in two steps.

The aura of heaven and earth that was originally agile has also disappeared, and there is a dead silence between heaven and earth.

The blood-sucking spiders around looked dumbfounded, just crawling slowly and didn't care what was passing by, and the few black eyeballs looked like infinite dead objects, unable to reveal any light.

Although Eucommia was already running very fast, the people behind Naihe had a higher level of cultivation. In less than a stick of incense, he changed from a black spot to a person with a clear face, and he chased after him.

Although the sound of wind and sand whizzing past was loud, Du Zhong still keenly sensed the movement of the person coming.

He tilted his head slightly, and saw a pale golden rope thrown out by the person behind him. The whole body of the rope was glowing with gold, and he recognized it as the fairy rope with just one glance.

Someone had already come from the sky and appeared behind them. It was Tianxuan's disciple and Wuji's chasing them together. Du Zhong pursed his lower lip, pulled out Jiuxiao, turned around and swung his sword to chop, and he just split the bundle of immortal ropes into pieces. in two halves.

The group of blood-sucking spiders seemed to realize that there was a stranger around them at this moment, and their speed of crawling accelerated more than a little. They galloped past Eucommia, making the ground tremble.

The disciple of Yukong suddenly slashed at the sky with his palm, Du Zhong's horizontal sword blocked it, and was driven by that force to draw back two feet away, and hit the tail of a blood-sucking spider before stopping.

The blood-sucking spider turned around in shock, Du Zhong quickly picked up Dabai, jumped up to the back of the blood-sucking spider, and escaped being bitten by the fangs.

The big spider felt something on its back and spun wildly on the spot. Eucommia barely managed to stabilize its body, and saw its tail start to spin silk.

The spider silk of the blood-sucking spider is poisonous, and the monks subconsciously retreated a little farther away. When Du Zhong saw it, he jumped up and avoided the spider silk, and jumped onto the back of the next blood-sucking spider.

As he ran, he turned his head slightly and glanced behind him out of the corner of his eye. The monks let him run like a cat and a mouse, and then chased after him in an instant, throwing several flying swords with their hands.

The sound of piercing the sky was close to his ears, Du Zhong saw the flying sword go straight to his chest and abdomen from the corner of his eyes, ran two more steps, then leaned back fiercely to avoid the flying sword that attacked first, the flying sword stuck to his chest and came However, the strong wind blows his collar.

However, before he straightened up and adjusted his posture, another flying sword came rushing through the air. Du Zhong's face turned cold, so he could only push his legs on the ground with his hands and use his strength to rise into the air, turning around and kicking in the air. He landed on the next flying sword and jumped up again.

All this happened only in the blink of an eye. He lost his support point in the air after dodging three times in a row. When the fourth flying sword struck, Eucommia managed to avoid the vital point by twisting his waist, but he was sliced ​​off. A strand of hair came.

He wanted to draw his sword to be tough, but suddenly saw that the flying sword that was coming towards his vitals was suddenly deflected by something.

Then Du Zhong caught a glimpse of the strand of hair that had just been cut off and landed suddenly changed its trajectory, as if it was attracted by something.

Taking advantage of this effort, he finally landed on the ground again, raised his eyes and followed the path of the strand of hair, and saw three demon cultivators in black robes suddenly appearing behind him.

The leader raised his hand to crush the strand of hair with his fingertips, put it on the tip of his nose, took a deep breath and sniffed it, then raised his lips and smiled: "Eucommia?"

This guy is so flamboyant.Du Zhong straightened up after landing, and an untimely thought occurred to him: Fortunately, he took a bath once in the past ten days.

Seeing that Du Zhong ignored him, the man didn't care, he just sneered at a few monks: "Where did all the wild things come from?"

He looks so distinctive, his complexion is pale, his pair of dark red eyes seem to be full of blood, and when he raises his eyebrows and smiles, an evil spirit rushes towards his face, he looks like a ghost who just crawled out of hell.

Although he was only standing on the back of a blood-sucking spider, at this moment, the monks who were stepping on the void felt terrified.They hesitated for a moment before one of them said, "Demon Lord?"

Xuan Ye smiled and said softly, "You have winks."
