Chapter 143: Playing Chess and Scraping Bones
Lou finally froze in place like a wood carving, he listened to Pang Lu's explanation, the words that revealed the truth pierced his heart, he thought that he was a very good disciple in the Jinshui Sect, so he would be sent to this Jiaozhi City by the elders of the sect, it turned out that he had such an inside story. In order to preserve the growth and noble status of the sect master, he did not hesitate to sacrifice others, but this truth can be explained.
"It seems that this is really the case, when Di Lang and I were in the sect, I was also unconvinced by that Jin Ji, and even laughed at him secretly, so this is the reason. He didn't have any words to refute Pang Lu, because he himself believed what Pang Lu said, and every word pushed his steps, let the three of them come here, let them die one by one, this seemed to be the true purpose of the Elder of the Sect.
Lou Zhong suddenly asked, "Uncle Pang Lu, I have one more question, since you have left the Golden Water Sect, why can you still know so many secrets in the sect?"
Pang Lu smiled: "It's not what I want to know, since your sect elder wants to trade with me, then there must be that high-ranking person who opposes his opinion, so he passed on the crooked truth to me, this kind of commonplace thing, I have become accustomed to it, the Jinshui Sect has been established for many years, and the rotten rules accumulated in the sect can already kill people, and the dirty arms in the sect have already stretched out that seemingly indisputable realm." And I, just a little smarter than they thought, saw through these things. ”
Lou Zhong no longer had any doubts, he wanted to escape from this battlefield, escape from this place where he could kill people, but just when his mind was running, Pang Lu's voice like thunder had already begun to come: "Lou Zhong's nephew, I advise you, if you want to run away like this, I have a reason to order you to be hunted down, and I think that Jin Shuizong will also be willing to help me kill you, it is difficult to live, especially if you live secretly." ”
Pang Lu's words were like a knife carving his spirit, continuing to torture the brain that could no longer function normally due to shock and panic, Lou finally turned around, knelt in front of Pang Lu on his knees, and said: "Uncle Pang Lu, please give me a way to live, I want to live." ”
Pang Lu said: "There are too many people in the world who want to live, but many people have no choice, because they have not chosen their own path, if there is a door in front of you, will you enter?"
Lou finally said: "Now I can't go back to Jinshuizong, if I become a deserter, whether it is a soldier in your barracks, Uncle Shi, or the executioner of Jinshuizong, you have a reason to attack me, I won't escape, but I want to live, so I can only ask Uncle Shi to give me a way." Uncle Shi said earlier that it was difficult to live alone secretly, which was to imply that I really served Uncle Shi, as long as Uncle Shi could save my life, I could go to the soup for Uncle Shi. ”
Pang Lu approached Lou Zhong, gently helped him up, and said quite indifferently: "Okay, then it's time to change the title of me, I said that I hate the Jinshui Sect, so I don't want to be the kind of junior disciple who is a waste who is an elder." ”
Lou finally bowed his hand and said, "Meet the governor." ”
Since then, Lou has finally secretly broken away from the Jinshui Sect and become a loyal vassal of Pang Lu.
However, it was said that in the Wohua Mountain military camp, it had been two days since Jiang Ming woke up, and his energy was recovering rapidly in the past two days, and the self-healing function was far beyond ordinary people, even Liao Zhizhang, who was the first doctor of Zhu Tianye, was amazed. But the arrow wound on Jiang Ming's right arm has still not been completely treated, and this day is the day when the ghost doctor Yin De set to scrape Jiang Ming's bones.
Yin De still held a dignified posture, and he was also respectful in front of the white-haired doctor, he took all the tools he wanted to use into Jiang Ming's tent, and what was surprising was that Jiang Ming was already able to get off the ground, and was sitting in front of a chess table, playing against Liang Jin.
Seeing that Yin De and Liao Zhizhang were led into the account by Lin Han, Jiang Ming and Liang Jin hurriedly got up and bowed.
Liao Zhizhang said with a smile: "Jiang Ming Xiaoyou, you are so interested, you have only been awake for two days, and you have been able to stay to do these interesting things, which makes me extremely envious." ”
Jiang Ming said: "Please sit down, the praise of the seniors makes me a little overwhelmed, I want to do an activity today, I happened to meet Liang Jin to see me, I learned this kind of black and white nineteen chess skills not long ago, so I pulled him to play with me, it was just a game." ”
Liao Zhizhang said: "This desire to be happy in suffering is also unusual, but you should hurry up and let Xiao Si help you get rid of the arrow poison on your arm, the longer you stay, it is very likely to leave sequelae." ”
Yin De said: "Seeing that your face and injury have indeed improved a lot, but your stubborn problem has not improved at all, and you still do this kind of mental activity in this situation, I don't know if it has a lot of trauma to the body?"
Jiang Ming reluctantly smiled and said: "Mr. Ghost Doctor, it's really boring to play the game, and those troubles can't be put down, so I can only look for these idle things to do first, although this game of chess consumes physical strength, but it can allow me to temporarily divert my attention, and it should also be beneficial to the injury." ”
Yin De frowned slightly, and said: "Then it's up to you, now put down this game of chess for the time being, I'll take Misty Powder on you now, it will make you temporarily unconscious for an hour or two, you won't feel pain in the process, I will soon be able to scrape off the poison on your shoulder, there will be no mistakes." ”
The corners of Jiang Ming's mouth moved, he looked at the knife in Yin De's hand, and then looked at his chess game, and said: "Mr. Ghost Doctor, I know that this arrow poison can't be delayed any longer, but I feel that my game of chess can't be put on hold, can you bother Mr. Lao to come to my side, I will play chess, and Mr. will scrape for me."
Bone detoxification, is it okay?"
Hearing this, the ghost doctor Yin De shouted lightly: "Nonsense, how can these two things be done at the same time, playing chess is just an idle matter, how can it be compared with your life and death? Besides, I, you are sitting there, how can I make you take Mishen San? If something goes wrong at all, then Mishen San can kill you." ”
Liang Jin persuaded and said: "Jiang Ming, this game of chess is not played first, the days are still long, since Mr. Ghost Doctor is here, put down the chess game first, and then play after your arrow poison is removed." ”
Jiang Ming said: "Sir, I have been repeating a scene that makes me infinitely sad every moment in the days when I am asleep, and probably what Mr. said before that the depression in my heart comes from here. When I woke up, I thought it was all fake, but it was so clear in my mind that I couldn't calm down. This chess game is like my turbulent heart, and I want to finish it. ”
Liao Zhizhang looked at Jiang Ming and said, "Xiaoyou, you are worried about emotional matters. ”
Jiang Ming smiled indifferently: "Almost." ”
He didn't have much etiquette.
Yin De said: "You want to play chess while removing poison, I can promise you, but in this case, you can't use the mystery, without the paralysis of that medicine, you will feel my knife cut through your flesh and skin, scrape off the poison on your bones, this process is not something ordinary people can bear, if you don't hold on, your safety will be greatly threatened." ”
Jiang Ming said: "Nothing, I can finish this game of chess." ”
Liang Jin wanted to say something Lin Han stretched out his hand to stop him, and said with a smile: "Lao Jin, let him try, it's just a bone scrape, he is not very human." ”
The small stove was placed aside, the charcoal in it was burning fiercely, and the basin of water placed on the side of the chessboard was already blood red, and the knife in the hand of the ghost doctor Yin De was still sharp, but his hand was a little trembling.
Jiang Ming was naked, his well-proportioned but not sturdy figure looked a little dark, but there were some scars from the knife wounds and arrow wounds on the back of his chest, he stretched out his right arm, and allowed the ghost doctor Yin De to scrape the bones on the side, and his left hand was playing chess, and his body was as stable as a rock.
Yin De occasionally looked at Jiang Ming's indifferent look playing chess, but he only used the blade to remove the flesh and blood of the arrow wound, and slowly scraped off the toxin on the bone, although this process is not very complicated, but it is extremely testing people's skills, and when the knife is operated, there will be a large amount of blood in the arrow wound, all Yin De has to do is to wipe off the blood with a silk cotton stained with cold boiling water, and then use a wooden stick dipped in the powder to prevent inflammation and bleeding to smear the edge of Jiang Ming's flesh and bone that has scraped off the toxin, and then scrape off the toxin and cut off the necrotic flesh with the blade after burning and killing again and again, the whole process is extremely bloody, even if Liang Jin, who has experienced war and death all year round, Luohu people, can't help frowning deeply.
Jiang Ming's expression was calm, although he had been thinking about how to play against Liang Jin, but he had no way to ignore the severe pain from his shoulder, this continuous and deep pain was even more painful than an extremely long scar on his back with a big knife, but he restrained himself with extraordinary tenacity, his teeth clenched to suppress himself from moaning, there was no sweat on his forehead, because he did not allow himself to be disturbed while playing chess.
On the other hand, the ghost doctor Yin De was the least sure of him in his many years of medical practice, because his patient was a madman who could ignore this pain, and if he had a choice, he would definitely not be willing to scrape his bones and remove the bones. If it weren't for the secret promise of his master, the white-haired doctor, he would not have agreed to this practice. His forehead was covered with sweat, because of nervousness and panic, he lost the aura of the noble title of the ghost doctor, and became an ordinary healer, but at this time, he admired the young man in front of him extremely much.
Liang Jin's forehead was also covered with cold sweat, his eyes couldn't help but look at Jiang Ming's shoulder, the bright red and black in that place intersected, and the blade in that place was cutting Jiang Ming's flesh and blood, even if he just looked at it, it still made his hairs stand up. He has also walked many times on the edge of life and death, but he never imagined that he could accept this kind of painful baptism like Jiang Ming, and he forgot to play chess.
"Liang Jin, it's your turn. ”
Jiang Ming breathed a sigh of relief, and the corners of his mouth seemed to tremble, causing a wrinkle to rise in his eyebrows, but his voice was still steady.
Liang Jin hurriedly fell again in a panic, but this fall made Jiang Ming find a loophole, Jiang Ming smiled: "Liang Jin, you lost." ”
The left and right pieces fell again, and the blacks instantly occupied the entire chessboard, and the whites were all wasted, and the victory and defeat were divided.
Liang Jin wiped the sweat on his head with his sleeves, looked at Jiang Ming but smiled lightly, completely speechless.
Yin De's blade also stopped.
Jiang Ming said, "Sir, why don't you continue?"
Yin De said: "It's over, the poison on your shoulder has been removed for you, I have already applied the medicine for you, just find someone to help you bandage it at will in a while." ”
Yin De also wiped his sweat from his sleeves and packed up his things.
Lin Han walked over at this time and smiled at Jiang Ming: "You may not know, everyone in this camp was sweating on their foreheads just now, and you, the party, seem to be the most leisurely, scraping bones and removing poison, this kind of chapter that only exists in wild stories has now come true." ”
Jiang Ming turned around slowly, and found that on the edge of the camp, the white-haired doctor Liao Zhizhang was sitting upright, looking at himself kindly, as well as Luo Hu, Chu Hong, Huanziyu, Chen Yiche, Chen Xinxue, Du Henghe, and the two captains on duty, all staring at him with wide eyes, all kinds of lights in their eyes, but Jiang Ming looked quite embarrassed.
Jiang Ming slowly turned around and motioned for Lin Han to give him the shirt, but before Lin Han moved, the ghost doctor Yin De said: "Don't wear clothes now, wait until the medicine I put on the wound is fully integrated into your flesh and blood, and then you can get dressed." ”
Hearing this, Jiang Ming's face was embarrassed, and Huanziyu and Chen Xinxue at the door of the camp also blushed and quietly retreated.
Liang Jin looked at Jiang Ming, and sighed: "You want me to be scared to death, I usually cut off hundreds of heads and I don't feel it, today I watched you scrape your bones for only ten minutes, and I feel that nothing is pleasing to the eye, I endure it, and I regret playing this game of chess with you." ”
Jiang Ming chuckled: "Fortunately, I held back, and I also won this game of chess, which can be regarded as a complete victory." ”
Liang Jin said: "My chess skills are not good, and today I can win against me, let me tell you, if you win Hanzi, you can really blow for a year." ”
Jiang Ming looked at Lin Han and looked quite surprised: "Will he go down? I haven't seen him before? Don't you say he's a master?"
Liang Jin just smiled and didn't speak, so he stretched his waist and walked out of the tent.
Lin Han joked: "Want to play with me?"
Jiang Ming frowned slightly, and said, "Why don't I believe it." For verification, you can't escape this game. ”
Lin Han smiled: "Okay, I know that you have money in your waist, and you usually don't show it, but when you encounter something, you throw it all out." How about betting on the next treat?"
Jiang Ming snorted lightly and said, "Okay, come." ”
Yin De was busy and said: "Boy, you better settle down, just go to the poison, you should rest for a while, don't find a reason not to follow the doctor's advice this time." ”
Jiang Ming looked at the couch and walked away, and the group dispersed.
After everyone left, Jiang Ming lay alone on the couch, his eyes looking at the top of the tent, his eyes were foggy, as if he had lost something.
At this time, a figure suddenly flashed from the door of the tent, even though the figure was moving extremely fast, Jiang Ming still noticed it.
"Who?"
The man slowly came out, with a simple cloth shirt, a thin figure, and a rather fierce face, but at this time, a smile swept on, he stood in front of Jiang Ming's couch, and said, "Jiang Ming, I thought you would come to see me as soon as you woke up, but I miscalculated again." ”
"Not much?" Jiang Ming looked at the strange and familiar figure, and said: "You are still quite capable, you can actually break in to see me under such close surveillance, Lin Han said that you already have the best martial arts strength of the eighth rank, it seems to be true." Although I woke up the day before yesterday, I still lack the physical strength to stay today, but I forgot to meet you. In this way, I would like to thank you very much for the saving grace of that day. ”
He smiled and said, "I broke into your tent at this time, wouldn't you be worried that I would kill you?"
Jiang Ming was slightly stunned, but then smiled and said, "Kill me, why do you want to kill me, do you have a motive?"
"But no, but you are still as rational as ever, if it were someone else, I am afraid that someone would have called someone to arrest me." ”
Jiang Ming smiled bitterly: "It's so casual, as if I know you very well, I just completed a deal with you in Jiangcheng, and it's already a good thing that I didn't make a feud because I captured you alive, don't climb the relationship now, I'm now the general of Wohua Mountain, and I'm much stronger than Sanyuan Mountain." ”
"Your method of distancing ties is very ordinary, and your rhetoric about playing with status is too ostentatious, but it doesn't look like a real snob can say it." ”
Jiang Ming slowly strengthened his body, looked at him and said: "You should quickly say what is the matter with you looking for me, you saved me, and I have a reason to help you with this matter, as long as it is within my ability." ”
He didn't say much: "Your straightforward tone is really disgusting, and I am so unpopular? I am also a martial arts master of the eighth stage, and someone will ask for it wherever I go, don't you want to recruit it for Wohua Mountain?"
Jiang Ming frowned, and said, "Why haven't you seen each other for a few months, why have you talked to such an extent? Isn't it that you have lived in the mountains and forests and started to degenerate?"
"Uh......" is not very speechless, but in the face of Jiang Ming's unflattering tone, he really has nothing to say, and reorganized his emotions, when I came to look for you, I wandered around and talked to people very little, so I saw acquaintances at this time, and suddenly talked more. ”
Jiang Ming spread his hands and said, "Then what? What is your purpose?"
Suddenly, his eyes lit up, and he pulled out a short knife from his waist and said, "I want to duel with you." ”
"Huh?"
In order to prove himself to Mei Yuqi, he practiced his marksmanship hard to chase down the remnants of Sanyuan Mountain, and served as the Mei family's guard regardless of his identity, and repeatedly offered his hospitality in front of Mei Yuqi, but Mei Yuqi seemed to have changed his mind, and turned a blind eye to the obvious confession, and in the end, when he couldn't bear it, he explained that remark, which made him really make up his mind.
She said: He is my hero, he is the last hope on the battlefield, and I hope that my sweetheart will fight on the battlefield and protect a city of smoke and sand.
It is not possible to change Mei Yuqi, and he can only move her by changing himself, but the imitator arouses her disgust, and he can only prove his meaning through the most direct method.
Carrying a gun out of Jiangcheng is not very much for his love.
