19. General mound 13
One by one, the green dragons turned into flying swords in the sky, cutting the fleshy vines of the charm to the ground.
The charm was wounded one after another, and let out a howl that shook the heavens and the earth on its back, shaking the entire mountain several times, as if it was about to topple. With its cry, a large thundercloud appeared in the sky, covering the stars and the moon, and with a burst of lightning and thunder, hail the size of a soybean was mixed with the raindrops and poured down on the head. The ghost was not in love with war, and after glancing back at Tumen Qing in fear, he turned into a cloud of black mist and disappeared into the night.
The hail had stopped, the rain was still falling, and many of the surrounding trees had been destroyed, leaving a clearing to catch a glimpse of the danger just now.
Jian Tianyuan's head was smashed out of a few bags by hailstones, but he didn't dare to say anything, and he didn't have the courage to reach out and rub it. He quietly let go of the hand holding Tumen Qing in hindsight, took a step back like a child, and the blood hole covering his shoulder pretended to be seriously injured, the wound was still bleeding outward, the blood stained the clothes on his chest, and the bones of the white flowers could be seen in a circle of rotten meat, which looked really scary, and he didn't think about it when he was in danger just now, but now that he was safe, he grinned in pain, this weak and pitiful appearance was really not all acting, and there was indeed a bit of truth in it.
But no matter how miserable he was, Tumen Qing was not moved.
After the charm escaped, he restrained his breath, and saw that the cyan dragon had turned into gas again, as if it had penetrated into the body from the pores of his body, and disappeared without a trace in a short time.
As soon as his wrist was loosened, Tu Menqing raised his eyebrows to look, and saw Jian Tianyuan holding his chest with a look of excessive blood loss, he just sneered and said, "Isn't it quite energetic just now?"
"Human instinct is infinite. Jian Tianyuan embarrassed himself to find a reason, took the time to peek at Tu Menqing's face in the middle, and saw that he didn't look like he was going to make a move, and secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
Tu Menqing took a step closer, the two were not far away, and now they almost touched their faces, Jian Tianyuan felt that his nose was a little itchy, and he moved unconsciously, and the tip of his nose gently rubbed against Tu Menqing's skin, so frightened that his eyes were as big as copper bells, and he had to jump back a big step as if he saw a ghost, and his mind was blank.
"Isn't it just guts and fat?" Tumen Qing sneered, he was already handsome, but he had been cold-faced, giving people a cold and gloomy impression, but now it was different, maybe he had recovered his mana, the whole person's momentum was different, a little more domineering, and with a little lazy charm, the corners of his mouth were crooked, and even his eyes were smiling, like a blooming epiphany, very beautiful, but this beautiful scenery was fleeting, and in the blink of an eye, it became that facial paralysis again.
Jian Tianyuan recalled in his mind the picture of him just easily repelling the ghost, and couldn't help but shudder, and then said slowly: "What, you see that Shi Te is so badly injured, let's pick it up first." β
As he spoke, Shi Te cooperatively rubbed Tumenqing's leg with his furry head, lifted his head, and looked up pitifully with half of his injured ear.
Tumenqing touched its head, squatted down, took out the medicine box from the bag to disinfect and bandage it, Shi Te obediently lay on the ground motionless, Tumenqing's movements were very light and skillful, and his expressionless appearance was unexpectedly heartwarming, and when the wound was bandaged and knotted, Tumenqing stood up and said: "You go to explore the road and see where the charm is going." β
"Okay. Shi Te staggered to his feet, wagged his tail and burrowed into the forest.
It must have been too badly injured and hallucinating. Jian Tianyuan was still immersed in his own world and reminded himself repeatedly, and only came back to his senses when Shi Te walked away, cleared his throat and asked, "You said that only three times the mana lied to me?"
Tumenqing had already packed up the medical box, put his backpack back on his back and said, "No." β
"Then you just ......"
"It's a lie to say that you run out. Before Jian Tianyuan finished speaking, he heard Tumen Qing's faint voice say such an angry sentence of Jian Tianyuan vomiting blood.
"You...... You're ...... Why are you like this?" Jian Tian stammered angrily, even raised his hand covering the wound, pointed at Tumen Qing, and was looked at him and put it down in a gray manner, but he still said stiffly.
Tumenqing said, "How?"
Jian Tianyuan was almost pouted by his understatement attitude, and wanted to scold him a few words, but in the end, he couldn't think of a single heavy word, but there was no more laughter on his face, and he asked sternly: "What is your purpose?"
Tumen Qing was stunned by his question, his eyes were on him, looking at the waves in his eyes, he was fixed, and he didn't answer for a long time.
The rain had stopped at some point, and the air smelled of earth.
I only heard Tu Menqing say: "I don't sue you." β
Jian Tianyuan: ....... Now he doesn't even have the idea of complaining, and he doesn't have the strength to get angry, only a sense of powerlessness that he has been deeply manipulated.
He leaned weakly against the tree, the bleeding from the wound had long since stopped, and it was only a matter of time before he recovered.
"In short, there is no ill will towards you. Tumenqing's voice floated over.
Jian Tianyuan looked up at the sky, the moon poked out half of his face behind the dark clouds, the sky seemed to have been washed clean by heavy rain, and even the starlight was much brighter, he sighed, and then didn't ask anything else, he stood up straight, looked at Tumenqing's eyes and asked, "Why did you let me go to death just now?" Didn't you say that you wouldn't kill me!"
Tu Menqing said with a little mockery: "Who made you too weak, besides, just said that I won't kill you, and if others want to kill you, I can't care." β
Jian Tianyuan was speechless, and in his heart, he felt that what he said made sense.
There was a sound of Si Si Suo in the darkness, Shi Te ran over from the woods, stretched out his tongue and breathed, and said: "It went in the direction of the altar, there is not only one there, there are many ghosts, but none of them have the appearance of high mana, I am afraid of being discovered, not too close, I don't know how many are in it." β
Those little charms may be the disciples and grandchildren of the one just now, Jian Tianyuan thought to himself: "Let's go and meet Fan Qingshan first, and then go to the altar when it is dawn." β
Tumen Qing didn't nod or refute, just waited for Jian Tianyuan to take two steps, turned his head and glanced in the direction of the ghost's escape, and then followed with Shi Te.
There had just been a heavy rain, both of them were soaked, their hair was still dripping with water beads, and their clothes were also wet and sticking to their skin, which was very uncomfortable, and they looked like wolves to the extreme.
"Can you cast a spell to dry us?" Jian Tianyuan walked halfway, turned around and asked Tu Menqing.
Tumenqing didn't stop, and when he passed him, he said, "No, the number of times is gone." β
Jian Tianyuan: ....... Thinking about whether to coax him again, after thinking about it, Tumen Qing is not the same wolf, this time it should be true. Next to him, Shi Te shook the hair on his body, shook the water on his face, and ran to the front in a puff of smoke, leaving Jian Tianyuan to wipe the water on his face, thinking angrily, this is not a dog, I am afraid it is a white-eyed wolf.
Although there were two injuries, they were not important injuries, and when the two of them climbed to the top of the mountain with a dog, Fan Qingshan was sitting next to the bonfire telling stories to the two girls, and there was also the golden man sitting next to him, smiling and sniffing the roast chicken on the shelf.
"Alive?" Seeing them approaching, Fan Qingshan laughed.
Jian Tianyuan sat down next to the big man, unceremoniously tore off a chicken leg and said, "You are still alive, how can I be willing to die?"
Fan Qingshan ignored his provocation, but turned around and beckoned Tumen Qing to find a place to sit, Tu Men Qing took Shi Te and sat down with his legs bent in the open space next to Jian Tianyuan without hesitation, shook his hair, and a spark immediately appeared in the bonfire.
For Tumenqing's choice, Jian Tianyuan was a little comforted in his heart, took a bite of the chicken leg, chewed it twice and spit it out, the chicken leg was roasted and browned, it looked like it should taste good, who knew that eating it in the mouth was the same as eating paper, the meat firewood was not good and tasteless, not to mention the taste of the seasoning, even the meat that should have tasted was not a little. He held the chicken leg and looked at Dahan, only to see Dahan stroking his beard and standing next to him smiling and burping, Jian Tianyuan silently put down the chicken leg, lifted the placket of his clothes and made a fire.
"You haven't encountered anything, have you?" the placket quickly dried, and he turned to bring his back closer to the fire, and if it weren't for the girls here, he would have wanted to take off his clothes and dry his underwear.
Zhang Tingting was a lot bolder, even Xiaoxiao didn't have the previous restraint, she seemed to relax a lot, and only heard Zhang Tingting say: "We didn't touch anything along the way, and we didn't dare to take off the talisman when we got to the top of the mountain, so we kept sticking it, and after a long time, it was still taken off by Brother Fan who said it was okay." β
After a while, the eldest brother was called, and the girl was still too naΓ―ve. But he didn't dismantle the stage immediately, just looked at Fan Qingshan and then looked at the big man beside him, frowning and not speaking.
"They can't look at me. Dahan said loudly.
Jian Tianyuan didn't answer, he looked at the depths of the valley with the firelight on his back and thought about something.
"Shall we go back to Jiangbei tomorrow?" Fan Qingshan asked, holding a dead branch, picking a fire to make the fire burn more vigorously.
Jian Tianyuan turned around, half of his face was red by the firelight, his eyes were bright, and his tone was unprecedentedly firm: "No, you will take the two of them first as soon as it is dawn, and we have to go somewhere." β
"Where are you going?" I didn't expect Jian Tianyuan to exclude himself, Fan Qingshan didn't know how to react for a while, and blurted out stupidly, and as soon as the words came out, he reacted that they might have to go to the altar. Just now, when he looked at the top of the mountain in the direction they came from, he saw the lightning and thunder there, and he was so anxious that he couldn't do anything, but he couldn't do anything, and now he saw that several people had rushed over alive, and he felt a lot more relieved. He turned his head and glanced at the two girls, both of whom were very young and had childish faces, and when the fire shone on them, he seemed to be able to see the tears under his eyes, and he took a look at the weight, and said, "Okay, let's leave at dawn." β
Tumenqing naturally had no opinion on this conclusion, he took out a bottle of luncheon meat from his bag and fed it to Shi Te.
"I'll go with you and the others. Dahan spoke up at this time.
Jian Tianyuan looked up at him, and saw that his face didn't look like a joke, his eyes drifted to the location where Tumen Qing was, and happened to be opposite Tu Men Qing, nodding to him in agreement, so he didn't make a sound, and nodded almost invisibly.
The big man seemed to be very happy, as soon as the ape arm stretched, a golden light attacked, and there was an extra halberd in his hand, he looked up to the sky and laughed and said: "Xiao'er is right, stationed here should be for the people, if you let the demons do evil and do nothing, what is the point of guarding such a country?!" he said this, the golden light was great, and even the tattered robes on his body seemed to be much newer.
Zhang Tingting and Xiaoxiao were very sleepy, the two of them fell asleep with their heads in their hands, Jian Tianyuan and Tumenqing sat side by side, on the left was a majestic dog, on the right stood a big man holding a halberd and wearing a battle robe, Fan Qingshan sat next to the two girls, not daring to relax his spirit, always paying attention to his surroundings.
After the night, the bonfire had long been extinguished, only the ashes of the wood were still emitting white smoke, and a rooster crow came from the mountain forest, and the sky was dawn.
