Monument of Life and Death

  Chapter 1083 wrong

   What kind of power...

  Xia Hua looked around in disbelief.

  Nobody around.

  That person, the "he" that Zhou Ye said, didn't even show up.

  If that "he" is really Qiao Moqin, does the current him actually possess such power?

   Is this really a force they can fight against?

   "Cough cough...cough cough cough..."

   Zhou Ye, who was lying on the side, coughed violently, Xia Hua didn't care about being in a daze, and hurried to Zhou Ye's side, helping him to sit up.

   "Zhou Ye, are you okay?" The confidence in Xia Hua's eyes has long since disappeared, "Tell me the truth, is he Qiao Moqin?"

  Zhou Ye's pupils were frightened, he looked at Xia Hua, tears gradually came to the corners of his eyes, "Sister Xia Hua, you... you are still alive... that's great..."

   "Zhou Ye, cheer up," Xia Hua shook Zhou Ye's shoulder heavily, "Say it clearly, maybe we still have a way out."

   "The way to live... There is no way to live..." Zhou Ye looked past Xia Hua, looking at the nothingness in the distance, "From the very beginning, I should have known that if I made the wrong choice, there would be no way to live..."

   "Don't talk nonsense! It's not over yet!" Xia Hua felt that her eyeballs must be bloodshot now, "Zhou Ye, if you continue to behave like this, I will leave you here alone!"

  In the current scene, this threat seems a bit naive, but for Zhou Ye, this threat has worked.

  Zhou Ye's slack eyes slowly regained the focused light, he stared at Xia Hua, swallowed a mouthful of saliva as if in fear, and said softly, "He...he's not Qiao Moqin..."

  Xia Hua exhaled half a breath, then held her breath, suddenly doubting all of this.

  She stared at Zhou Ye's face.

   Judging by his appearance, it really doesn't look like he is lying, otherwise his acting skills would be too superb.

   "Really?" Xia Hua still asked, "Do you know who Qiao Moqin is?"

   "Of course I know..." Zhou Ye closed his eyes wearily, and opened them again after a long while, "Qiao Moqin is Tian Yuan from the fifth watch, a white-haired old man."

   "So the person behind you is not him?" Xia Hua didn't know if she was suspicious of Qiao Moqin, "Who is that?"

  Xia Hua subconsciously used "you", and Zhou Ye was stung by the default hostility in this title. He opened his mouth, but before he could say anything, he closed his eyes again.

   "I just know...he's not an old man..." Zhou Ye said with his eyes closed, "he's very young..."

   "Not a member of the Nine Sects?" Xia Hua asked, "Aren't you a subordinate of Lao Qiao?"

   "No...none of it..." Zhou Ye's voice became weaker, "He has nothing to do with the Nine Sects at all, I... that's all I know..."

   It's not the old bridge.

  Is all the reasoning of the Taoist chief wrong?

  Xia Hua fell into chaos.

  But... Although I don't want to admit it, I was really persuaded by the Taoist priest. If it wasn't Lao Qiao, who else could it be?

   "Sister Xia Hua..." Zhou Ye interrupted Xia Hua's meditation, "You... just leave me here..."

   "What do you mean?" Xia Hua snapped.

   "Go on your own," Zhou Ye opened his eyes again, the light in his eyes completely dimmed, "Don't worry about me."

   "I think you are crazy," Xia Hua said, "Leave yourself here to die?"

   "Anyway... I... I can't leave here alive," Zhou Ye said, "Sister Xia Hua, he hasn't left yet."

   Fortunately, Xia Hua never let down her vigilance. Her lips trembled a few times, and she lowered her voice and said, "Zhou Ye, you should know the abilities of Sixia people, right?"

  Zhou Ye didn't expect Xia Hua to ask this question suddenly, and nodded with a vague understanding.

   "Since you know..." Xia Hua said, "Then you should understand that I have the ability to take you out."

   Zhou Ye seemed to be in a daze, but Xia Hua thought he was thinking.

   "As long as you give me more clues, I can find a way," Xia Hua struck while the iron was hot, and continued, "Zhou Ye, trust me."

   After a full minute, suddenly, the light in Zhou Ye's eyes came back.

  He suddenly raised his head and looked at Xia Hua, "I know where he was just now."

   "What location?" Xia Hua firmly grasped this hard-won clue, "Tell me in detail."

   "Each of us has a part of the power that comes from him," Zhou Ye said like an emotionless machine, speaking extremely fast, "so, as soon as he appeared, I felt it."

   "Then where is he now?" Xia Hua asked immediately.

   "Now... is far away, but he hasn't left yet," Zhou Ye said, "I think... I think the position where he appears is the most important."

  Xia Hua thought about the meaning of this sentence, "Are you thinking... maybe the exit is there?"

  Zhou Ye nodded as best he could, "We can leave from there."

   "This idea makes sense," Xia Hua said, "It's just that there will be an ambush?"

   "I can feel him, he's not there anymore." Zhou Ye said.

  Xia Hua wanted to say something more, but... Judging from Zhou Ye's current situation, she didn't have any chance to hesitate.

   "Okay," Xia Hua agreed, "we'll go there."

Xia Hua thought for a while, raised her right hand, and called out the giant snake. The giant snake looked a lot more holy in the surrounding environment. Xia Hua helped Zhou Ye sit on the top of the giant snake, and she stroked it. The scales on the snake's body look like they are looking at their own children.

   "Zhou Ye, just lead the way," Xia Hua said, "Tell me, where are you going?"

  ***

  Xiaolan immediately recognized the voice outside the door.

   "Taoist!" Xiaolan exclaimed in surprise, "Is the Taoist you?"

   "It's me!" The Taoist chief's voice was calm but joyful, "It's great that you're still safe..."

   "Which Taoist brother is outside?" Yi Yao walked over with a smile on his face, "Since he is an acquaintance, go and welcome him in."

  Xiao Lan stopped Yi Yao with a smile, blinked her eyes, tiptoed to Yi Yao's ear, and said softly, "Don't open the door yet, we don't know the authenticity of the person outside."

   "I was careless," Yi Yao recalled the fake Xiahua, "You're right...and we don't have a lock on this door at all. If there is no problem, he can just push the door and come in..."

   At the same time, the same conversation happened outside the door.

   "It's really Xiaolan inside!" Luo Jiutian said excitedly, "Let's go in quickly!"

   "Wait a minute," the Taoist priest grabbed the two of them and said, "We have to confirm the authenticity of the two inside."

   "True or false?"

   "Forgot about your Mr. Yi Yao?" Dao Chang said earnestly, "Don't worry, let's see how the people inside react."
