There is wine in the rivers and lakes Chapter 44 Awakening
Walking in the process, you can know the boundlessness of this mountain and river.
Chen Qingniu didn't know how long he walked before he came to the foot of a towering mountain.
He stopped.
The mountain, piercing through the clouds, connected to the dark green crescent above the head, was where the copper sheet was.
Immediately afterward, he heard one beast roar after another, and saw one beast shadow after another.
Chen Qingniu didn't recognize that they were the beast souls absorbed by the copper tattoo, but now, they were still alive, shuttling and fluttering in this space, and they were extremely free.
"Aren't these souls refined into supernatural powers by copper tattoos, and they are still alive?"
No one can tell Chen Qingniu the answer to this question.
Fortunately, those beast souls did not seem to be hostile to him, but were very close, and when Chen Qingniu was climbing the mountain, those beast souls surrounded him and walked with him silently.
Chen Qingniu sighed: "You all died because of me, but now you ......"
There was a hint of agitation in his heart, these beasts that were about to turn into demons were fierce and cruel in life, but they were so docile after death, the contrast was so great, that he felt a little guilty.
Fortunately, this guilt didn't last long, at the beginning, if he didn't kill them, he would be the one who died, this is a world of the jungle, if you have to dwell on right and wrong, it might as well kill yourself.
The mountain is very high, but because it is in a state of soul, it is not difficult to climb, and when it is close to the top of the mountain, the group of beast spirits stop one after another, looking very afraid, and dare not take a step further.
Chen Qingniu turned his head and said, "Is there something or existence that you are afraid of?"
The beasts nodded.
Chen Qingniu just smiled, and strode forward, no matter what made this group of beast souls afraid, he had to go up, he could feel the call under his subconscious, in the dark, it was very strong, he knew that he had to do this.
He had to get out of here and go back to another world that was just as interesting.
............
"It's been a month!"
In the room, a hoarse voice sounded: "If he doesn't wake up within three days, we must also leave, Anqing County, we can't stay." β
"Brother!"
Jin Yue'er called softly to the man in the room.
Lu Buwei waved his hand gently: "I'm fine, I can still hold on!"
Jin Yue'er's face became more and more haggard, but compared with Lu Buwei now, her girlish concern was really nothing.
In just half a month, Lu Buwei, who practiced martial arts diligently, entered the country again, it stands to reason that this should be proud, and Feiyan Sword Village should also be outstanding in this Anqing County, but now, it is ......
The whole Feiyan Sword Village seems to be extremely depressed, walking in the village, it is rare to see one or two disciples, the ten swords are dead, even the owner of the village, Lu Changfeng, was also cut off his right arm by a sword, if it were not for the last downhill tiger for it to block a sword and hit the other party hard, I am afraid, that battle, the entire Anqing rivers and lakes will be killed, but even so, in the past, the gangs such as Yunluo Anqing Jianghu have already existed in name only, all large and small gangs have been destroyed, even the Iron Fist Gang is no exception, and now there are still left, only Feiyan Jianzhuang and several small gangs are still struggling to supportγ
Lu Buwei, who used to be the young owner of Feiyan Sword Village with infinite scenery, now looks more like a middle-aged man in his thirties, with a sighing beard, a haggard face, several scars crisscrossing his face, and a pair of eyes full of vicissitudes.
This year, he is only twenty-four or five years old.
Thinking of this, Jin Yue'er opened her mouth to speak, but she only felt extremely dry.
Lu Buwei looked at the young man on the bed, and finally looked at the little sister in front of him, who had already lost too much weight, and said: "Dad said, three days, this is the deadline he can last delay, not only for you and me, but also for a few more glances at Feiyan Jianzhuang, after all, this is his decades of hard work, three days when it comes, no matter whether Qingniu can wake up or not, we must leave this place of right and wrong, the surname Zhang is pressing step by step, if we don't go, the end will only be with ......"
Hearing "surnamed Zhang" Three words, Jin Yue'er has gritted her teeth, for a whole month, all kinds of secrets have already surfaced, the new Yin Xuanwei is obviously quite ambitious, investigating Liu Zhixian's death is just a reason, and what he really wants to do is obviously to clean up the chaotic Anqing rivers and lakes, as for what he wants to do after that, although he did not say it explicitly, but the world is crowded for profit, many clear-eyed people in the rivers and lakes will know at a glance, that Zhang Fuzhi obviously wants to rebuild the Anqing rivers and lakes after they are cleared, and build an Anqing rivers and lakes that only he looks forward to and covers the sky with one handγ
However, he is a dignified cultivator, and he is still a great monk of the Imperial Wind Realm, so what is the use of the secular rivers and lakes of Anqing County?
All this, no one knows.
Jin Yue'er turned around and walked to the side of the bed where Chen Qingniu was lying, stretched out her hand, touched the cheek of the young man on the bed, and said gently: "Ah Niu, you will definitely wake up, right? Ah Niu, I believe you can." β
Lu Buwei sighed lightly, felt something, and didn't say anything more, holding the Xuanqing Sword and walking out of the room.
In the past nearly a month, the rivers and lakes, barefoot doctors, and even worldly cultivators have actually been invited, but unfortunately, no matter who it is, they can't come to a conclusion about Chen Qingniu's current state.
Of course, the most surprising thing was Lu Changfeng, after all, Lu Changfeng had said that Chen Qingniu's state was due to the backlash of vitality caused by excessive loss of vitality, but at the moment, it was obviously not.
Gently closed the door, looking at the white-clothed young man at the door, Lu Buwei's heart was moved, in this month's time, his growth has changed enough, but compared with the white-clothed swordsman in front of him who has never stepped into the first-class martial arts, he is actually much, much worse.
Lu Buwei said: "I will take the remaining disciples of Zhuangzhong and my relatives to Beiyang City to take root, the road is bought, and the relationship in the city is almost done...... Hehe, in short, I won't let the four words Feiyan Sword Village disappear from this world. β
"I have always been a person from Feiyan Sword Village, if there is no old owner, I who used to be so weak, I should still be just a down-and-out person who lives on the street and is oppressed by others. β
Lin Muzhi and Lu Buwei looked at each other, and their eyes no longer had the dodge and hiding that they had before, not because he forgot his duty after becoming a first-class martial artist, but because he had grown up in the recent battles, whether it was his heart or martial arts, there had been great changes, if the only thing that remained unchanged was probably his soft spot for swords.
"However, I shouldn't go to Beiyang City," Lin Muzhi glanced at the room, whether it was for Jin Yue'er or Chen Qingniu, he didn't plan to go, "I have already discussed with the second miss, if Senior Chen can't wake up, I will escort them all the way south, go to Fucheng first, if Fucheng can't find a way to wake up Senior Chen, then go south, go to Chaodu, in that kind of place where the dragon and the tiger are hidden, there must be a way." β
"That's so far!"
Lu Buwei muttered, there was a trace of loss in his eyes, a trace of envy, and a trace of shame, and said: "He has always said to me, you are his friend, I am only half of his friend, it turns out that he looks at people better than me, no wonder, no wonder ......"
"But, haven't you thought about it for yourself? This is six hundred miles away from Cangbei Mansion City, and I don't know how many thousands of miles to go to Tianxuan City, the capital of the court, you and I are a secular martial artist, there is no unimpeded talisman token like Yinxuanwei, and there are many difficulties and dangers on the way, maybe you will die in the hands of horse thieves when you get out of this Anqing County, why be so persistent?"
Lin Muzhi stretched out a hand, pointed to the room behind Lu Buwei, and said, "Is she different?"
"She?"
Lu Buwei showed a faint wry smile, can you be the same as her? If she is just the same as you, even if it is tied up, I will tie her up to Beiyang City.
"No matter what, I hope he can wake up soon, just be a ......" Lu Buwei turned his head and looked at the room as well, "Just take it for her, who called, I only have such a little sister after all!"
The latter stood silently, like a door god, dressed in white, and practiced hard for just one month, and already had the posture of a swordsman.
Obviously, the depression in Anqing County is not only a place like Feiyan Sword Village, since the Iron Fist Gang was destroyed, the entire Anqing County has been in a dead silence.
This situation is very different from what Cao Jin once expected, completely different.
Compared with the rumors on the rivers and lakes outside, the county government is undoubtedly the most unchanged and safest place in this month, Zhang Fuzhi personally led a group of guards to break through the gates of various gangs, but the county government is too lazy to take another look.
The Cao family brothers sat in the study, where did Cao Jin still have the slightest intention of reading, he held the news from his subordinates one after another, and his face was extremely heavy.
After a long while, Cao Jin finally put down all the information in his hand, picked up a cup of tea, and said to Cao Shui: "That's it, since the surnamed Zhang has to do this, we brothers should run away as soon as possible!"
Cao Shui looked at his eldest brother, full of fog, as if watching one after another Jianghu forces in the city being wiped out, this Anqing Jianghu is getting cleaner and cleaner, even if it is reported to the imperial court, they have a share of the credit of their county government, how can it end up, it is not that they have added officials to the knighthood, but are going to run away? Isn't the surname Zhang already receiving those things? Could it be that he still wants to defect to the battle, and finally give the two brothers a behind-the-scenes hand?
After putting down the teacup and taking a few sips of tea, Cao Jin felt that the mood that had been suppressed was a little better, obviously, he had seen the confusion in the heart of his third brother, so he explained: "This hand surnamed Zhang is called the bottom of the kettle!"
"That's it, I'm going to run away anyway, since it's not a big deal, then I'll talk to you about it for my brother. β
"At first, when the surnamed Zhang accepted the bribe sent by you and me, he accepted it calmly, and then immediately set out to clean up the Anqing Jianghu that I messed up, I thought that he was helping me, and he was also in Liwei, after all, he wanted to investigate Liu Zhixian's death, and he couldn't do nothing after all the way over, and there were still people watching and waiting after all. β
"Later, some small gangs were cleaned up by him one after another, and everything is developing in the direction I want, which is also the result we need, but ......"
During this period, he didn't mention anything related to Liu Zhixian's death, but just killed and destroyed it with an iron fist, and at this time, I already had some suspicions. β
Then, after dozens of gangs on the rivers and lakes were wiped out by him, he still did not stop, but stretched out his hand to the Iron Fist Gang, and at this time, I had already guessed his true intentions. β
On the surface, he used Liu Zhixian's death to ask for an explanation, so as to shock the prestige of Yinxuanwei, but in fact, he wanted to clean up the entire Anqing rivers and lakes, big fish and small fish, all pulled ashore, no matter whether he listened to it or not, kill it first. β
"And what really confirmed my suspicion, third brother, do you remember the night before the Iron Fist Gang's tiger died, he secretly sent someone to our county government and told me?"
Cao Shui naturally shook his head, although he knew about it, he was not in the house that night.
Cao Jin continued: "The place where the surname Zhang and his subordinates settled in the city is a mansion named Hu Yong, that Hu Yong may have the impression that he is the only son of Hu Tai, the largest wealthy merchant in our city at that time, a few years ago, Hu Tai returned to his mother's house with his wife, and was killed by all the demon beasts when he passed through the evil wolf ditch at the official road fifty miles east of the city. β
"That Hu Yong, who used to be a gentleman, but in just a few years, he squandered all his family wealth, and now there is nothing else but that mansion. β
The man surnamed Zhang had calculated everything, and he never expected that this waste-like guy in his eyes would have the courage to eavesdrop on their plans, and even drugged their meals at a critical moment, they never imagined that Hu Yong actually had a small hair named Chu Shan, who was one of the top ten protectors in the Iron Fist Gang. β
"After I don't talk about it, you may have guessed that the Iron Fist Gang used this relationship to hear a lot of news and make a lot of changes, and finally when the surnamed Zhang made up his mind to move the Iron Fist Gang and Feiyan Sword Village, he even let that Hu Yong drugged his food, it's a pity...... Hey......"
Cao Jin sighed deeply: "It's a pity, whether it's the downhill tiger Liu Wuchang or the smiling tiger Lu Changfeng who likes to hide, they all underestimate one thing, the strength of a Fengjing monk is definitely not something that can win by relying on a large number of people, the three realms of refining qi, the second realm of Jindan, the smaller the realm is not a difficult thing to kill, but the greater the realm of killing, even in our entire Daxuan Dynasty, we will never be able to find a hand." β
"However, that medicine obviously has some effect, otherwise, you think that the fight will be dark that day, it is as simple as the death of Liu Wuchang and the breaking of Lu Changfeng's hand, and on that day, the entire Anqing rivers and lakes will have been completely wiped out. β
Cao Shui was still unsure, and said: "The Iron Fist Gang and Feiyan Sword Village have been removed, is it a good thing for our county government?"
"It used to be, and it wasn't. Cao Jin's eyes showed a cold light, "That night, the Iron Fist Gang came to tell me that Zhang Fuzhi's real intention was neither for Liu Zhixian nor for cleaning up the rivers and lakes, but to control the entire Anqing County, I didn't believe it, but now, I have to believe it." β
"If he really wants to control the entire Anqing County, then what is the difference between the existence of you and me and the likes of Liu Wuchang and Lu Changfeng?"
Cao Shui couldn't understand why his eldest brother was so uneasy when he heard this, and asked in a low voice: "If we don't leave, we will be the next to die?"
Cao Jin nodded.
In fact, Cao Jin didn't say anything about it, in fact, the man also said, "You two impostors, if you want to sit on the mountain and watch the tiger again, maybe the next tiger will be yourself." β
Although I don't know how Liu Wuchang knew the true identities of the two brothers, Cao Jin Taoguang has been in obscurity for several years, so naturally he will not show his fox tail so easily. What's more, even now, even if Zhang Fuzhi's identity as Yin Xuanwei is not mentioned, his two brothers are just two Qi Induction Realm cultivators, what can they do in front of a Wind Realm Great Cultivator.
That's it, it has been operating here for several years, although it is a replacement, it can be regarded as a painstaking effort, although there are many things that hurt heaven and reason, but if you really want to turn your back on the things of heaven, his two brothers really haven't done it, otherwise, when Liu Zhixian proposed the thousand boys and girls, why did he have to refuse and cause this series of troubles.
Cao Jin couldn't help but think of that young man, and heard that he had been in a coma since he killed Liu Zhixian that day, and nearly a month had passed, but he still hadn't woken up.
It was getting late, and dusk was approaching, Cao Jin came to the study and looked at all the familiar things, unwilling, but helpless.
Yes, it's getting late, and the day goes by like this.
After habitually washing and changing clothes for the teenager on the bed again, Jin Yue'er wanted to go out and pour water with a wooden basin as usual.
"Water ......"
A voice sounded behind her.
Jin Yue'er shuddered, and the wooden basin in her hand fell to the ground.
Lin Muzhi rushed in suddenly, the sword in his hand had already been pulled out, and he stared coldly at all parts of the room.
Chen Qingniu struggled to prop up his body, looked at the two, swallowed his saliva, and wanted to speak, but he still couldn't speak.
The next moment, Jin Yue'er turned around suddenly, ignoring the water-soaked skirt on her body, regardless of Lin Muzhi's presence, it only took a breath from crying to pear blossoms and rain, and when the first tear fell, she had already thrown herself into Chen Qingniu's arms.
Lin Muzhi looked at Chen Qingniu and Jin Yue'er, put away the sword, exited the room, closed the door for him, and walked towards the martial arts arena alone.
Feeling the warmth in his arms, listening to the heart-rending cry, Chen Qingniu picked up Jin Yue'er's head, at this moment, even if his heart was a piece of steel, it had been completely melted.
The beautiful woman in front of her, where is there still a little bit of the original look, her face is bloodless, her eye sockets are sunken, and her lips are chapped...... All the possible haggard looks of a person seem to be able to be found in this face.
Chen Qingniu opened his mouth, because he hadn't spoken or drunk water for a long time, but he couldn't say half a word, only the intermittent hoarseness.
Jin Yue'er naturally understood, and hurriedly broke out of his arms, wiped a few handfuls of tears, and turned around to pour water for Chen Qingniu.
It's just that the moment she lifted the teapot, three hoarse syllables suddenly came from behind her, and they were indistinct.
"You...... Thin...... It's over!"
The next moment, Jin Yue'er's cry resounded throughout the room, and it lasted for a long time.
