Lau Luo was extremely stunned, not knowing what to say for not knowing where her mistake lay. Then he remembered the saying that if women say 'go' then it means stay 'live'. It's just a simple reverse problem, 'let go' then it means 'don't let go'.
After the battle with his brain, everything he wanted to ask felt stuck in his throat until it turned short and became extremely cold. "Why are you suddenly angry over a trivial matter?"
Chuxi laughed a little.. "Yes! Trivial!"
"Luo-didi do you realize you've been kinda.. changed too much?"
Near Lake Ye was seen a small millow tree lightly beginning to blow and just above it sat a person wearing a plain white robe that did not even have the slightest embroidery.
When recalling his dispute with Chuxi, his head again throbbed. Therefore Lau Luo wanted to meditate to calm her mind and although by the lake it was quiet even the noise in Chang'Su city could not be heard, but mentally he had difficulty making movements so that his mind became calmer.
After reading the report from Soh Jinhong of the Yama organization containing the robbers and bandits Lau Luo frowned, and squeezed the paper in her hands.
In fact, during these days and for these five years not a second did he breathe quietly because in his dream, Shu Zi Jiu would die with a sword piercing through his chest.
Lau Luo then closed her eyes to recall the dream clearly.
Back then in his dream all the disciples at the peak of Yilin had the task of Shao Yi Chen to keep the village safe from the case of the walking corpses and the ferocious spirits.
The corpses were like a storm, or tons of hammers beating the veil used to circle the village until it broke apart until the hordes of corpses came in from all directions, the corpses and ferocious spirits then crippled dozens of cultivators using claw fangs, biting and tearing, the shrill sounds of the raging corpses making all those places look extremely sinister, as well, just then Lau Luo looked towards Shu Zi Jiu.
Due to seeing Shu Zhi Jiu whom he hadn't met for so many years come to such a chaotic place like this, joy and anxiety came together, all at once, it was happy that he could see Shu Zi Jiu for a long time and was anxious because the weak body without Shu Zi Jiu's cultivation was like bread ready to be torn apart, he said, being bitten between walking corpses makes the frail person an even more tempting target than a baby who has not been able to crawl.
Lau Luo opened her mouth and asked stuttered. "Ah Jiu-ge..Why are you here?"
Shu Zi Jiu came to him, and Yuan Yi followed him from behind. Just like before Shu Zi Jiu had never changed, and if there was a change on his face then his smile looked even more warm and tender.
"We happened to meet a person from the top of Xia Hua who was on duty around our place, I asked them if I knew Luo-didi? Then they told me you'd get a job here, so we hired a train to catch you here out of worry."
Lau Luo was so happy to know Shu Zi Jiu was worrying about him that she forgot now that they were in the midst of a fierce chaos because the Zeng-Tai Tigram Formation had been activated.
He smiled warmly and said very worriedly. "It's dangerous here."
"You're coming with me." Lau Luo then took them to a safe place, after confirming the place there were not a single corpse she said to Shu Zi Jiu. "Stay here, don't go anywhere, do you understand?"
Seeing Lau Luo's back go to fight the corpses and ferocious spirits, Shu Zi Jiu immediately said. "Luo-idi.."
Lau Luo was still staring at him. "What's wrong?"
Shu Zi Jiu wanted to say that today was the day when he found Lau Luo first among the ruins of the Luo family, for that he caught up with Lau Luo here to commemorate her as Lau Luo's birthday. But after seeing the hustle and bustle situation and the sky taking out the ferocious spirit larvae like the enslaving sea, of course this was not the right place to say the good news.
Lau Luo smiled slightly in response and she then said to Yuan Yi. "Protect Ah Jiu-ge, I went first to catch up with Yiran-shixiong to clean up some corpses."
Since Yuan Yi practiced martial arts and her sword skills were enough to protect someone then she could entrust Shu Zi Jiu's safety to Yuan Yi, and Yuan Yi immediately nodded. "Without you telling me I'd protect her, do you think you're older than us and tell me this?"
Lau Luo could breathe a sigh of relief, she then continued the slaughter of the corpses because the Zeng-Tai Tigram Formation had been activated by an unknown person. The Zheng-Tai Tigram Formation was a technique that traveled a perverted path to control the sea of corpses hence some martial artists also came from other sects to protect the village, the increase in the protective side also increased the number of hordes more than tripled than before.
In the middle of escorting for the common people to the city is safe. Lau Luo could not help but worry after seeing the number of corpses that were like the ocean growing more and more.
"Luo-shidi where are you going?" Xian Zi asked after seeing Lau Luo who wanted to go straight away, as if worrying about something.
Lau Luo looked towards the south of the village and she said with Xian Zi. "There's my acquaintances there, I'm worried about them."
Seeing how anxious Lau Luo was, Xian Zi said comfortingly. "Don't worry, is your friend at the southern border of the village? On the southern border there is already Yiran-shixiong and Shixiong-both guarding him, they can definitely keep your friend so there is no need to worry."
After his duty as a bodyguard for the safety of ordinary people was completed, Lau Luo headed straight for the southern border. He searched in the building that had almost collapsed yet found no one, and it was the place where he left Shu Zi Jiu to take shelter.
"Ah Jiu-g? Where are you guys.."
He traced all the way to a slightly noisy place, the noise of a corpse-like howl that stopped his heart from beating as if the world was slowly beginning to collapse before him..
Shu Zi Jiu with a long sword.
Lau Luo directly took it into the embrace, examining her weak breath using her finger, Shu Zi Jiu's face was extremely pale, she said, it was too pale to make his voice tremble and all of his skin turned many times paler and cooled.
"Ah Jiu-a-ge.."
Hearing the hoarse voice he knew, Shu Zi Jiu's eyelashes suddenly trembled in pain. He looked at Lau Luo who was covered in anxiety, with great difficulty Shu Zi Jiu wanted to say something, saying something, trying to open his mouth yet what came out was a mouthful of blood that instantly fouled Lau Luo's clothes like a red plum blossom falling on a pile of snow making the viscous blood even more conspicuous.
"Hold Ah Jiu-ge, I'll find a medic to treat you!" Lau Luo's words trembled, like running out of strength to continue one more word other than to be stuck on her lips between her teeth and could not be said. "I'll call a healer, I'll treat you."
Shu Zi Jiu knew best that the sword that pierced through his chest had destroyed his heart, even if the medical came it would not be a chance and he shook his head still trying to smile. "Luo-didi. It's okay, I'm fine."
He smiled on his already pale face and looked heartbreaking in Lau Luo's eyes as if a thick fog was blocking them from each other. "You said that your name was like a child and you didn't like it much. It's your birthday now, I'll give you a call of maturity. The name I gave you was Luo Zhi Jue.."
Since it was a long talk to exhaust all his strength, Shu Zi Jiu again forced himself to smile at Lau Luo after turning back to break a mouthful of blood and coughing. Shu Zi Jiu again coughed a mouthful of blood and he tried to ask. "Do you like it?"
In that miserable dream Shu Zi Jiu looked so heartbreaking, his pale face was now increasingly losing its life like a corpse that could no longer be helped, his thick, layered clothes seemed as if there was no point in making all of his skin still freeze and feel extremely cold like blocks of ice, the blood coming out of his chest as a sword instantly dried up made his appearance very messy and unpleasant to look at.
"Luo Zhi Jue, I thought about that name many times and I hope you will like it.." Shu Zi Jiu was back. "If I'm not around, there's gotta be someone else who's gonna stay by your side."
