Big Moon Ballad

Chapter 685
Li Ji felt that he had a very long dream.

In the dream, he kept running in the dark, and there were countless ghostly voices behind him.

"catch him!"

"Eat him!"

He ran forward desperately, but those voices followed him like ghosts, and harsh grinning came from behind him.

"See how long that kid can run! Go outflank from the front, don't let others take advantage of you!"

"Okay! Hold on to him, I want his hand!"

"Then I'll give him one foot! Brother, you can't forget your brothers when you advance to the heavenly rank!"

"Whoever sees it has a share, go and catch him! Catch him and divide him!"

Those piercing laughter came from behind, making him feel queasy, nauseated, and there was only one thought in his mind.

Those people really wanted to eat him!

He ran forward desperately, to the place he felt was the most dangerous, but those people became more and more excited.

"Hey, you actually dared to run inside. Sure enough, the rumor is true. Hurry up and catch him!"

He became more and more terrified, and felt that what was chasing after him in the dark was no longer a human being, but countless ghosts who opened their mouths wide open to him.

Run!Run!
He ran desperately in the dark, but the next moment, with a snap, he tripped over a branch and fell headfirst under a tree.

"Hey! The kid fell down and got it! Bring the knife!"

Excited laughter came from behind him, and he endured the severe pain and turned over, only to see the bright blood-stained butcher knife.

"The head is mine, the rest is for you!"

Countless black shadows swarmed towards him, this was his lingering nightmare in the middle of the night.However, just as he closed his eyes in despair, a clear voice came from behind the black shadows.

"You want to eat people?"

There was such a woman's voice in the dark forest that was originally sparsely populated. The big man who was about to swing the knife was stunned, and everyone turned around in astonishment.

He opened his eyes in a daze, and saw her in the gap between the crowd.

It was a young girl in rough clothes carrying a firewood basket and holding a hatchet in her hand.

But in this world, there are actually people who come to this forest to collect firewood?
And seeing such a large group of big men holding butcher knives, the woman was not afraid at all.

Everyone stared at this scene in astonishment. The big man holding the knife at the head woke up and narrowed his eyes to look at the woman not far away.

"There are women in the cloud forest?" He sneered and waved the knife in his hand, "No matter what you are, you dare to talk when you are impatient? I will deal with this kid first, and then I will kill you!"

However, the girl just raised her eyes and quietly glanced at the knife in the big man's hand, her tone became firm, "You really want to eat people."

"Can you control this?" The big man holding the knife sneered, "This kid is..."

In the middle of the speech, he suddenly stopped, "Oh, I almost slipped my tongue. I can't let other practitioners know this secret. It's better to eat early and feel at ease. Where's the girl, get the hell out of here!"

After speaking, no one would pay any attention to the woodcutter girl who seemed powerless, and the men turned around and raised their knives to him again with a grinning grin.

The smell of blood came from the blade, and he stared at all this with wide eyes, watching the last scene left to him by this dirty world, and greeted his death in despair.

Yet at this time.

He heard the most tender voice in the world.

"Brother, close your eyes."

At the moment of life and death, he saw the girl looking at him and speaking softly through the gap between the shadows and ghosts.

He stared blankly at the pair of clear eyes in the distance, took a deep breath and closed them abruptly.

The next moment, blood splashed everywhere, and the girl withdrew the knife.

……

……

Under a tree outside the dried-up Jiulong Qushui Waterfall in the depths of Tianmu Mountain, there were two people lying quietly. Both of them had their eyes closed, as if they had been in a coma for a long time.

However, the next moment, the man with his back against the tree trunk woke up first.

what.

Li Ji woke up from the dream, opened his eyes suddenly, and stared blankly at his palm.

Was everything just a dream?
But he has not had such a clear dream for a long time.

His spirit seems to be recovering.

The eyes in the dream came to mind, and he took a deep breath and closed them.

But the next moment he opened his eyes, felt the weight on his legs and lowered his head slightly, seeing the girl lying on his lap.

The clothes have been torn into countless cracks, revealing the scars she left in yesterday's daytime battle.

And the scratches from breaking through the storm last night.

Li Ji lowered his head and looked at her quietly, then took out the bronze mask from his bosom again and put it on, then took out a coat, and stretched out his hand to cover her body.

However, just as he stretched out his hand, Ying Baoyue, whose head was resting on his lap, suddenly opened his eyes.

Then looked at him.

Looking into those clear eyes, Li Ji's hands shook violently.

"What's wrong?" Ying Baoyue looked at the man whose hands were frozen in mid-air, "What's your reaction? Why do you act like you haven't seen me before?"

Li Ji paused, then covered her with the clothes and withdrew his hand, "It's nothing."

"Really," Ying Baoyue smiled, "That's good, I thought you wouldn't know people after you ascended to the heavenly rank."

"Nothing." Li Ji said.

Ying Baoyue turned her head to look at the clothes she was wearing, and at the mask that Li Ji hadn't seen last night, "I've been thinking, do you have a magic weapon of space in your arms?"

Otherwise, how could he carry so many things all day long...

Li Ji was startled when he heard the words, then nodded.

"Sure enough," Ying Baoyue said with a smile, no wonder this man can carry such a big bag of candied fruit in his arms.

"By the way, I forgot to say, congratulations on being promoted to the third rank," Ying Baoyue said with a smile.

Li Ji was startled when he heard the words, and then replied, "Thank you, it's just..."

He fixedly looked into her eyes, and then said, "I owe you my life."

Last night, although he didn't intend to implicate others, in fact he implicated her.

"Didn't you save me once, so it's even," Ying Baoyue said, "Besides, I came here by myself, and you didn't ask me to come here. What happened last night has nothing to do with you, so you don't have to worry about it."

irrelevant...

Li Ji didn't know what to say.She could have asked him for a huge favor for this matter, but she didn't expect to let it go so lightly.

"You..." He took a deep breath, "Why did you come last night? Why did you..."

Why save him?

In the former Qin Dynasty, he grabbed her from the coffin with little effort, but this time she came here, it was not easy.

It's literally risking your life.

"Why..." Ying Baoyue thought for a while, "Because you gave me candied fruit?"

Li Ji was speechless again.

"You risked your life just for a few bags of candied fruit?" He took a deep breath and said.

"I didn't save candied fruit," Ying Baoyue said with a smile, "I said before, you saved me too, we owe nothing to each other."

Don't you owe each other?
Li Ji looked at her quietly, shook his head, "No, what you said is wrong."

Ying Baoyue was startled, but he said indifferently, "You have something you can do, and I want to make up for the trouble I caused."

"The curse?" she repeated.

Seeing the serious look of the man in front of her, she didn't ask any more questions, but looking at the mask that was close at hand, she suddenly stretched her hand towards his mask.

Li Ji's black eyes froze, but did not move away.

The fingertips touched slightly, but she withdrew her hand the next moment.

"It's not good to ask other people's secrets." Ying Baoyue said with a smile.

Li Ji stared into her eyes and asked, "Do you want to see it?"

　Brother, close your eyes.

　　Ah ah ah ah ah
