Chapter 113 We Are in the Same Boat
Liang Yan felt like the world was spinning. He couldn't open his eyes, couldn't breathe, and he didn't know how long it took. Suddenly, there was a violent impact from his back, and he realized that he had fallen to the ground.
He was in severe pain all over his body, as if he was falling apart, and he couldn't even stand up. He could only lie on the ground, silently operating his internal skills and secretly regulating the injuries within his body.
As the blue and gold spiritual energy slowly circulated through his limbs and bones, the pain in Liang Yan's body gradually dissipated.
It was only then that he realized that the seemingly earth-shattering finger of the golden elixir monk just now did not actually cause much harm to him, but only temporarily blocked his ability to move.
Now that the power of that finger has slowly dissipated, Liang Yan has recovered all his spiritual power and his injuries are no longer serious. He slowly stood up from the ground and then raised his eyes to look around.
What he saw was a square stone platform, surrounded by an endless abyss. A path extended forward from the stone platform, leading into the distance.
If it was just like this, it would be fine. It was just that the future was uncertain, but it wouldn't make Liang Yan too worried.
But the current situation is that on both sides of the path, a crimson flame is burning.
This flame gave Liang Yan a huge sense of oppression, making him instinctively feel danger. It was obviously not an ordinary fire!
Just when he stretched out his hand to cast a spell and was about to test the power of the flames, a strange sound suddenly came from mid-air.
Liang Yan turned his head hurriedly and saw a fiery red stream of light appearing out of thin air. After tracing an arc in the air, it landed on the stone platform where he was.
When the red light dissipated, a woman's figure was revealed. She was dressed in blue, had double braids on her head, and had a signature beauty mark under her left cheek.
Surprisingly, it was the girl in blue who was brought by the sick scholar Li Zheng who had a relationship with Liang Yan!
But she was just like when Liang Yan first arrived, lying on the ground unable to move.
Liang Yan glanced at her and found that her spiritual power was surging violently at this moment. She was obviously using energy to regulate her injuries.
However, although she was lying on the ground, she pursed her lips and stared at Liang Yan with her big eyes wary, looking hostile.
Seeing this, Liang Yan shrugged helplessly and said with a smile: "Girl, there is no need to worry too much. You and I have no grievances. Liang doesn't even bother to take advantage of others' danger."
When the girl in blue saw that he had finished saying this, she really stood aside with her hands behind her hands without any movement. Then she felt a little relieved and turned to adjust her injuries with all her strength.
Like Liang Yan, her injuries were not serious at all, and it only took half a stick of incense to recover. As soon as she was free, she immediately jumped up from the ground and stood two feet away from Liang Yan.
Liang Yan saw that although her hostility had reduced a lot, she was still wary of him. He couldn't help but touched his nose in embarrassment and said, "Am I really such a bad person?"
The girl in blue was indifferent to his self-ridicule. She leaned on the edge of the stone platform, watching Liang Yan's every move while silently observing the surroundings.
However, when she saw the crimson flames on the stone bridge in front of her, her body suddenly trembled uncontrollably, and a trace of deep fear flashed in the depths of her eyes, but she quickly returned to her original state.
It's just that Liang Yan is also a very thoughtful person. How could her momentary loss of composure be hidden from Liang Yan's eyes and ears. Just listen to him solemnly ask:
"Does the girl know the details of this crimson flame?"
Almost at the same time that Liang Yan was confronting the girl in blue, he was in a mysterious space somewhere.
This place is flooded with oceans. In the boundless vast space, there is only the light blue sea surface and the dark sky. Apart from these two colors, there is nothing else.
But on this endless sea, there is a lotus leaf floating, and two figures are sitting on the lotus leaf.
One of them was dressed in white Confucian clothes, with a brocade robe and jade belt tied around his waist. He looked elegant and suave. He was the scholar Ji Lai.
But the other person was a woman, wearing a pink fur coat, with a charming appearance and a variety of charms. It was surprisingly Murong Xuewei who had fought with Liang Yan.
At this moment, the two of them were sitting opposite each other, rising and falling with the waves of the sea on a lotus leaf.
"This place is so weird. Brother Ji has extensive experience. Do you know anything about it?" Murong Xuewei looked at the man in front of her and asked tentatively.
"Haha, Miss Xuewei thinks so highly of me. Ji is just a scholar, so how can he be so knowledgeable?" Ji Lai shook his head, looked at the woman opposite and said with a smile:
"Besides, there is nothing bad here. The so-called 'beautiful woman is by your side, the love is suitable' is what we are talking about right now. But I want to remind Miss Xuewei that this place is full of ocean, which is very detrimental to the girl's iron body. If it’s not necessary, I think it’s better not to take action casually!”
As soon as he said this, Murong Xuewei's face turned red suddenly. She took back her right hand behind her back and sat on the lotus leaf in silence.
"Haha! Girls and I are in the same boat now. We should help each other. How can we fight against our own family?" Ji Lai smiled when he saw this.
"That's nice to say!" Murong Xuewei snorted coldly: "We are trapped here and we don't know whether we will live or die. Others may have plundered all the treasures inside, leaving us alone waiting to die!"
"Is this it?" Ji Lai pondered for a moment after hearing this, and then said with a strange expression: "If you want to know the current situation of other people, it's not impossible."
"Just brag!" Murong Xuewei glanced at him sideways, with a look of disbelief.
"Haha!" Ji Lai smiled slightly and suddenly took out a crystal clear and transparent bead from the storage bag.
This round bead was the size of a baby's fist and was placed on the lotus leaf between the two of them. Then he flicked his sleeves and saw a burst of light inside the round bead. After a moment, a picture appeared.
Murong Xuewei looked intently and saw a forest on the screen. There were two people walking side by side in the forest. One of them had a sick look on his face. He was the sick scholar Li Zheng.
The other person was a gray-haired old woman. Murong Xuewei was very familiar with this person. She just heard her exclaim in a daze:
"aunt!"
Murong Xuewei was shocked at this moment. She looked up at Ji Lai and asked, "How can you see other people's plight?"
"Well, I forgive Xiao Ke for not being able to say it clearly. In short, before entering this place, I secretly took a trace of life energy from everyone so that I could spy on them. But this also shows that their current actual location is not far away from us. Too far, otherwise my spell won’t work.”
After hearing this, Murong Xuewei felt a chill in her heart, remembering that Grandma He had told her that day, the technique practiced by this person was very strange and should not be taken lightly. Now that she saw it, it turned out that she had some skills.
Thinking like this, she put away her contempt, and even the little quick thoughts she had before were secretly suppressed, and turned her head to stare at the transparent ball between the two of them.
