Chapter 10 The Last Resort
The house was in a mess, the leftover chicken soup was scattered all over the floor, and the tables and chairs were falling from side to side, turning the small space upside down.
To the shock of the two of them, a dagger hit the chest of the real person in the big hole, and the force was fierce, and he was directly nailed to the bed, which can be called ruthless.
Blood flowed down the board bed to the ground, and on the board bed converged into a blood-colored ocean, bright red and dazzling.
Su Lan's eyes widened, looking at everything in the room incredulously, she had just fallen asleep, how could this happen.
Li Kong on the side was expressionless, still satisfied with his masterpiece, looking at Su Lan, who was anxious and his eyes were red and swollen, his heart ached slightly.
He lied to her for the first time.
Whether it was good or malice, Li Kong knew that it was difficult for him and Su Lan to be the same as before, because there was an estrangement between them, and this estrangement was humble and fragile, and it could not withstand the wind and rain, and it was not possible to talk about the sea and rocks.
There is no life and death delivery, all the love blending is mixed with false feelings, it is nothing more than for the primitive impulse to like each other.
Li Kong doesn't understand love, he has no memory of women when he grows up, and he has nowhere to look for women's love, but at this time, because of the red and swollen tears in Su Lan's eyes, he became sentimental.
Su Lan likes herself!
And he also likes Su Lan.
But the two of them are not as pure as that, and they are blocked by a piece of armor.
This is the saddest place in Li Kong's heart, and it is also his most helpless choice.
"Don't be sad, he walked quietly and without pain. Li Kongzheng sighed, but Su Lan comforted him in turn, which touched his heart even more, and he almost couldn't help but tell the truth of the matter.
"I'm fine! I really didn't erase the Xuanwen on the tortoise shell. Li Kong took the opportunity to explain that he didn't want to have an estrangement with Su Lan, and even if there was an estrangement, he wanted to bear it himself.
Su Lan didn't reply to him, glanced at him meaningfully, and then walked out of the house, and not long after, a big bird landed in the open space in front of the house.
"Take pen and ink, I want to tell my father the news of the death of Dadong Zhenren. ”
"Good!"
When Li Kong came out, he had two pieces of paper and a brush in his hand, and half a stool in his right hand.
"This is the Xuanwen on one of the tortoiseshells, and you should also bring it back to your father, otherwise you will not be able to make a difference. Li Kong rolled up one of the pieces of paper with Xuanwen written on it and stuffed it into Su Lan's hand.
Su Lan took it, didn't thank you, and glanced at Li Kong with complicated eyes. "When my father sends someone over, I'll leave, do you want to go together?"
Li Kong thought for a while, nodded and said, "I can't hide it, sooner or later, the world will know that I am the apprentice of the four great real people, and I will come sooner or later." I'm with you, Master Dadong is a real person, and he can't be buried in the mountains and wilderness hastily. ”
"From now on, you'll be tired. Su Lan's words didn't know if they had a deep meaning, or if they were worried about Li Kong, in short, there was a little less tenderness in her eyes.
"I'll protect myself. Li Kong handed the brush that had been dipped in ink to Su Lan.
Su Lan put away the Xuanwen, squatted down and began to write the letter.
Li Kong did not evade, Su Lan's words are very neat, revealing fortitude and domineering, which is also the same as her person, and she is like her father Su Yuankun.
The two sent the finch back to the house and began to clean up.
Li Kong didn't ask Su Lan why she didn't send the Xuanwen written to her back with Qi'er, maybe Su Lan was for safety, after all, people all over the world were looking for tortoise shells, and once they were lost, there would be endless troubles.
Whoever masters the Xuanwen spell on the tortoise shell will be invincible in the world, and this world is the world of the strong, the monarch of the Great Zhou is just a nominal king, presumably the monarch of the Great Zhou is also trying his best to search for nine pieces of tortoise shell.
"Why did you cry last night?" asked Li Kong.
"Why don't you come in and coax me?" Su Lan asked rhetorically.
"I ......," Li Kong said.
"Do you like me?" Su Lan didn't let Li Kong go.
"Like. Li Kong did not hesitate.
"Then why are you lying to me?" Su Lan raised her head abruptly and stared at Li Kong.
Li Kong was shocked in his heart, could it be that Su Lan found out?
"I didn't lie to you!" Li Kong replied vaguely.
"What is this?" Su Lan picked up a roll of bamboo slips from the ground and feigned anger.
Li Kong slapped his head, this is not Ziyang True Qi What else can it be. "It's ......"
“......”
Su Lan opened the bamboo slip and frowned and said, "This is clearly another volume of tortoiseshell Xuanwen, and the number of words is obviously more than what you gave me before." ”
Li Kong was puzzled, took a look, and frowned. The full text of Ziyang True Qi was gone, and in its place was his master Nanyang Zhenren's deathbed biography of his one hundred and eight characters true recipe.
What's going on?
"Why don't you give me the tortoise shell with a lot of words, you are very careful. Su Lan pretended to be angry.
Li Kong wanted to explain, but eventually swallowed. Ziyang's true qi is not trivial, this is his last secret, and he can't tell anyone, not even Su Lan.
"This is a relic given to me by my master Nanyang Zhenren, it must have been lost in the panic of the gangsters last night. Li Kong found this reason very convincing.
"It's possible, it's obvious that the gangsters are coming for the Xuanwen above. Su Lan followed Li Kong's words and further reasoned about the result.
"It's good that it's not lost, otherwise my master would have died blindly. Li Kongdao.
"Since it was given to you by your master Nanyang Zhenren, you should keep it properly and don't lose it again. She held a broom and dustpan in her hand, like a virtuous little daughter-in-law.
Li Kong was a little demented, how good it would have been if he hadn't promised the four real people to be some saviors!
"What are you doing in a daze!" Su Lan looked up and happened to see Li Kong's demented eyes.
"Here you go. Li Kong stuffed the bamboo slip into Su Lan's hand.
"I don't want it, this is what your master gave you, you keep it, if you really want to make up for me, let's go find the remaining tortoise shells together. "Su Lan doesn't want it.
"Okay, but wait until three months later. Li Kong said.
"I know that you are filial, I have already thought about it, after I go back, let my father arrange you in front of the immortal tombs of the four real people, and guard the tombs for them, first, to avoid idle people, and secondly, you can also take the opportunity to practice spells. ”
I didn't expect Su Lan's thoughts to be so thoughtful.
"Listen to you. ”
The dagger inserted in the chest of the real person in the big hole didn't touch it, even if Su Lan wanted to pull it out, Li Kong would stop it.
It's already hourly time to clean up the house.
Although tired, the two did not feel sleepy.
Li Kong asked Su Lan a few questions.
One is about why she was chased and killed by Ma Xingfeng that night, the second is the delicate relationship between his father and the monarch of the Great Zhou, and the third is how big Honghe County is.
Regarding the first question, Su Lan did not hide it.
Things are not complicated, not long ago, on the border of Zhao State, an ancient tomb was discovered, Su Yuankun suspected that there might be clues to tortoiseshell Xuanwen, and sent his henchmen, Du Changsheng, to investigate.
After Du Changsheng's investigation, he learned that this was a tomb of princes in ancient times, covering an area of more than ten acres, and there were countless burial goods alone, including a piece of tortoise shell.
On the way back to deliver the news, he was assassinated by a mysterious man.
Because of the importance of this matter, Su Yuankun sent his daughter Su Lan to investigate, hoping to get clues about the tortoise shell.
However, when Su Lan arrived, the ancient tomb was razed to the ground.
After losing this clue, he had to go back, passing by Qingfeng Ridge on the way.
Thinking that he heard his father say not long ago that the four real people were fighting in Qingfeng Ridge, he wanted to come over and ask for advice, and at the same time inform the four real people of the news, hoping to get their help.
But she didn't want to kill a horse halfway, not to say that the tortoise shell was stolen by her, and the ancient tomb was also destroyed by her, so she chased and killed all the way.
During the fight, he was wounded by an arrow shot by Ma Xingfeng's accomplices.
When he fled, he saw thunder, and then he fell from a great height and lost consciousness.
When answering the second question, Su Lan only said, "Daddy is not a bad person. ”
"How big is Red River? I've never been there. Li Kong asked.
"The fast horse runs for half a moon, and there is a red river in the north and south, which is very long and wide, and the river alone is fifty miles wide. Su Mansion is three hundred miles away from the Red River ferry, and my Su family has the final say. ”
Li Kong gave a thumbs up. "Awesome. ”
