Chapter 603: Not Dead
Gongsun Changxue swept to Long Fusheng's side, probed the operation of the qi in his body, and found that his situation was far worse than he imagined, as he inhaled those mercury mist, the toxin entered his meridians at an unimaginable speed for ordinary people, as if a gust of mercury wind was set off in his body, and it was difficult to find out whether he could survive after that.
Now she and Long Fusheng can be described as grasshoppers on the same line, both of their grandfathers are the elders of the Dao Alliance, if they let the people on the Long family's side know that Long Fusheng's injury has something to do with her inability to escape, she will definitely not let herself go, and then she took out a pill from her arms and crushed it in the palm of her hand before feeding it into Long Fusheng's mouth.
As the medicinal powder entered his throat, the blood oozing from Long Fusheng's chest was miraculously stopped, and even the mercury spots that had seeped into his skin were forced out of his body, and those injured meridians were repaired by this medicinal power, and his dying face gradually appeared bloody, as if he had snatched him back from the hands of Lord Yama.
This pill is when Gongsun Changxue went to Wudang Mountain with his grandfather when he was young, he sent a bronze bird that could flutter his wings and fly to an old Taoist priest riding a green ox, and the old Taoist priest gave himself this pill as soon as he was happy, saying that it had the power to come back to life, and he wanted to swallow it when he encountered a catastrophe in the future, but he didn't expect it to be used on Long Fusheng's body now, which made her feel distressed.
Long Fusheng's eyes gradually appeared such a thing, although he had come back to life, he seemed to be unable to see anything, just looked at this cyan sky with empty eyes, as if he was greatly stimulated, no matter what Gongsun Changxue was doing, he was indifferent.
Gongsun Changxue sighed and said, "You are too light on the enemy...... Me too. ”
If he were to be at another time, he would never listen to the advice of another peer, and he would never admit that others were better than him.
However, at this moment, he had to admit that he had lost to the white-haired ghost, because his arrogance and arrogance had caused him to lose all his strength, and all his past efforts had vanished with this mercury arrow.
Mercury...... How did he know that mercury could wreak havoc on their dragons, and who told him he had this weakness?
Long Fusheng looked at the mercury spots on his arm in amazement, even if the elixir that Gongsun Changxue fed him could repair the wounds in his body, the qi in his body seemed to flow to the sea and never return, so that he could no longer feel a star, like a wasted person.
The thick and majestic qi machine mountain in the body collapsed under this thick fog of mercury, and it flew around in the body like a flying floc, and the sound was like thunder.
Long Fusheng had a small wound on his chest, the arrow was still stuck in it, he looked at the black feather at the end of the arrow, the red gold in his eyes shook like a broken candle, and the memory flashed through his mind like a horse.
Those moments that he had personally experienced, the moment when his father's head was cut off by the Xilin Sword God, the moment when he knelt on the city wall and cried uncontrollably, the image of him burning his opponent to ashes after mastering the dragon's blood physique, and when he rode a giant dragon soaring over Longwan, these were the saddest and most glorious moments of his life, and at this time turned into countless broken phantoms flashing under his eyes.
In order to become stronger, he killed many, many people, including proud and powerful warriors, charming women, and even unarmed children, because these people were blocking his path, so he could only kill them, and stagnation was more painful for him than death.
But now this powerless pain suddenly befell him, and all this came so unexpectedly, and so unforgettable, that all his past efforts became nothing.
For Long Fusheng, a dragon cavalry who is willing to dedicate his life to the Daqing Dynasty and wants to become stronger and prove that he is the strongest, he who has lost his strength is like a dragon that can no longer fly high, and he will not have his status in the dragon group.
Gongsun Changxue stared at his face, and the gloom in Long Fusheng's eyes told him that his strength, including all his will, was destroyed by that arrow, and he couldn't help but scold: "Do you really want to die so much?"
Hearing this, Long Fusheng laughed with difficulty, and every time he laughed, he would spit out a mouthful of blood, in the faint breeze, such laughter seemed extremely painful, and then said with a hollow look in his eyes: "Long Fusheng is dead...... Killed by him. ”
Even if he can save his life this time, for this young man who is willing to dedicate his life to the Daqing Dynasty and pursue power, living is just a matter of surviving, and he continues to live like a dispensable waste, it is better to die now.
He spat out a mouthful of blood with difficulty, looked at the blue pillar of light that connected the sky and the earth, and the abyss behind him, and said in disappointment: "How can this be...... I should have killed him...... How can this be...... It shouldn't be. ”
The once ambitious arrogant man burst into tears and asked softly, "It shouldn't be like this now, right?"
Gongsun Changxue was silent.
Long Fusheng stood up with a sad smile, looking down at this spring and autumn land, he suddenly realized how lucky he was in the first half of his life, but in this isolated and mysterious area, the luck in reality never befell him again, and it brought him a painful blow that was enough to ruin his life.
Chu Xianzhao was supported by Lu Nanqing, and he didn't have the idea of beating the water dog with a stick in his heart, because when he saw the gloom on Long Fusheng's face, he already knew how terrible the mercury arrow had caused him, and that was enough.
If Long Fusheng's physique is described as a powder keg, then the arrow he shot just now is enough for Long Fusheng to ignite and destroy the dragon breath in his body.
Long Fusheng suddenly burst out laughing, his laughter was very crazy but weak, and when Chu instantly summoned him, his laughter contained too much pain and helplessness.
Then he slowly straightened up, stared at Chu Xianzhao, and said word by word: "You haven't won yet...... At least I'm not dead. ”
He ignored Gongsun Changxue beside him and took a step directly.
The body leaned back, and the whole person fell into the blue pillar of light, like a drop of rain and dew in the sea.
The golden tablet standing on the cliff has another name on it at this time.
The dragon floats.
Gongsun Changxue looked at this pillar of light silently, never saying a word.
She didn't know what Long Fusheng would think of his people after he left this Spring and Autumn Land, only that this man whose strength could be proud of the younger generation of Luoyang no longer had that proud qualification at this time, and he had been killed by that arrow in the past.
I don't know how long it took before she slowly turned around and quietly looked at Chu Xuanzhao, who was supported by Lu Nanqing, with a trace of strange brilliance in her eyes, and murmured: "You abolished Long Fusheng, and when you go out, the people on the Long family's side will definitely abolish you, so ......"
She wanted to "raise" her left hand, but suddenly found that her bronze prosthetic leg had been cut off by him, and even the bronze puppets she had brought into the Spring and Autumn Land were left with only a few lonely bodies standing behind her, as if they were knights who wanted to protect the empress who was in deep death.
She gazed at the young man, white as snow, in a very long silence, the breeze blowing on his face, and the green silk gradually concealed his face, like a stiff statue of beauty.
Suddenly, she smiled, like a little girl who saw something interesting, and blinked: "As long as you promise not to see my Gongsun Changxue in the Spring and Autumn Land, I will tell you the name of the person behind the scenes, and you will know sooner or later anyway." ”
Chu Xianzhao nodded lightly as if there was no emotion on his face.
Gongsun Changxue said: "It was Cui Ziwan who asked me to kill you, she told me that because you are Shen Sanqian's son, her father Cui Xueyan wants to promise her to you as his wife, and if she doesn't agree, she will let me go to Longhu Mountain to kill you." ”
She waved her hand a little helplessly, "Your lady's waiter also protects you too well, I haven't been able to find a chance to start, when I knew that you were going to enter the Spring and Autumn Land, I secretly followed you in, and stole the map of the Spring and Autumn Land from my grandfather, I wanted to finish you here, but your performance really surprised me." ”
Cui Xueyan ...... Cui Ziwan, are you talking about the father and daughter of the South China Chamber of Commerce?" Chu Xianzhao suddenly came to his senses and remembered the two people that Shen Sanqian had mentioned to him.
Gongsun Changxue said expressionlessly: "Well, since you also guessed, then you can deal with these things yourself, remember the things you promised me, including these people around you, don't tell people outside that you have seen me, otherwise I will drag the entire Gongsun family into the water, and I will play with you." ”
The words came to an abrupt end, and she leapt into the huge pillar of light, and a black dress that moved with the wind disappeared from the cliff.
As soon as Gongsun Changxue left, the bronze runes that were involved with her qi also fell to the ground, losing all their vitality.
"Just let them go?" Guan Ju walked to Chu Xianzhao's side and said softly, "Why do you bother?"
"Because I think it's worth it. Chu Xianzhao looked up at Guan Ju and said calmly: "It may be much more painful to let him live than to let him die." ”
Guan Ju sighed softly and said nothing more, but a shallow smile appeared on his face.
She was very happy that Chu Xianzhao did not die, like countless times in the past, he was still able to save the day, "It's not bad, let you mix on the top of the mountain, it seems that the swordsmanship taught by Daddy is not in vain." ”
Chu Xianzhao couldn't help but laugh and said, "Although the king's breath in my body is gone, it's not so bad, right?"
Just as the two were talking, they suddenly felt something, and looked up at the stone board next to the cliff, only to see that names appeared on it, all of which were the names of the people who left this spring and autumn land.
There were flashes of light on the stone list, and ancient words glowing with golden light appeared here.
"Look, our names are on it. Orange pointed to the sky in surprise.
There was a condensation of light on it, and the ancient words began to flash again.
Chu Xianzhao and Lu Nanqing looked at each other at the same moment, and under their gaze, several names appeared on them.
Orange Hong, Lu Nanqing, Bai Chonglou, Chu Instantaneous.
Chu Xianzhao roughly counted the names on it, so far there were only twenty people, and of the one hundred and fifty people who entered the Spring and Autumn Land at the same time as them, more than half of them died here, and the remaining half chose to quit because they were lost or unable to move forward.
Orange Hong raised her delicate face, stared at the name on the stone list, and said: "Childe doesn't know, I don't know how many people died in the process of cannibalism along the way, and as far as I can see, there are already more than fifty people." ”
Chu instantly looked at him in shock, thinking that for most of the participants, this land of spring and autumn was not an exaggeration to say that it was a place of bones.
There were almost 200 people who entered this Spring and Autumn Land at the beginning, but now there are only 20 people who can make it to this stone list, and the ending is really cruel and helpless.
Chu Xianzhao sighed while looking at the name on the stone list, and then his eyes froze, and he saw a familiar name.
"Li Duzun. ”
He slowly read out loud, thinking of this man in Tsing Yi who performed amazingly in the martial arts arena, the Qinglian Sword Sect from the First Sword Sect of the Southern Continent.
"Childe doesn't know, when I was looking for Childe's figure on the road, I once saw him fighting ten people at once, it was an extremely fierce battle, and in the end this Li Duzhu won. ”
Chu Xianzhao frowned slightly, thinking that this Li Duzun was really capable of not being small, thinking that if he was allowed to face that dragon floating life, maybe there would be a way to defeat him, and now he had left this land of spring and autumn.
Most of the names on this were very unfamiliar, and Chu Xianzhao continued, his gaze resting on one of the names again.
Chu Xianzhao said with emotion: "Zhang Huairou...... Is it the apprentice of the Great Heavenly Master of Dragon and Tiger Mountain? It seems that the people who can leave this land of Spring and Autumn are all strong people in this martial arts, and the next big final may be their most tricky. ”
He looked at the thick pillar of light that connected the heavens and the earth, and exhaled lightly, thinking that after this trip to the Spring and Autumn Period abolished your dragon floating life, he would be compared with Zhang Huairou and Li Duzun and these rare people in the last game, as long as he got this Qimen Great Urn and let him awaken the king's breath, this trip to Nanlu would be worth it!
In this way, the third round of martial arts ended.
Chu Xuanzhao entered the final finals, all of which seemed ridiculous and unreasonable.
But it just happened.
He doesn't care.
Chu Xiaohua didn't care either, he didn't care how many people died in this war.
——
In the world of Spring and Autumn, it is difficult to distinguish between day and night, so it is difficult for people here to feel the passage of time, let alone know what has become of the outside world since they entered the Land of Spring and Autumn.
It was noon in the setting sunset, and the streets were full of traffic, and the vendors were shouting desperately on the roadside, and the road was extremely lively, and the air was filled with the smell of sugar gourds and freshly baked pancakes.
The people in the city talked about the latest news of this martial arts from time to time, and so far, more than 1,000 participants have left Longhu Mountain, and they have gone down the mountain as the losers of this martial arts.
Although many people did not have the opportunity to go up the mountain to watch the martial arts, they could also learn from the mouths of these losers about the shocking and exciting pictures on the martial arts field, and the lively atmosphere was not affected in the slightest.
At such a time, the storytellers in the city are even more vinegared to tell the scene of the martial arts, this work is to make them earn a lot of money during this time, the city's tea shops or inns will spend a lot of money to invite these storytellers wearing green shirts and holding folding fans, they are still talking and dancing in front of the guests, as if when the competition was going on, they were in the audience watching the pictures of swords and swords, and then it became the content of the story in their mouths, and not to say whether it was true or false, it made people's blood boil when they listened.
In the southeast street not far from the Daqing Imperial Palace, there is a relatively elegant restaurant, and many people who come here to drink are Jin Wuwei in the palace.
These young people who are only in their early twenties have prominent backgrounds, and naturally they are reluctant to squeeze into those stinky country teahouses to listen to books, but the most eye-catching topic at the moment is everything that happens in the martial arts, so this restaurant also specially invited the best storyteller in Luoyang City, and sent people to take turns to watch the events on Longhu Mountain, and bring the most authentic news back here for the first time.
After the storyteller drank the tea, he slapped the startling wood hard, and the two beautiful maids around him played the pipa while taking advantage of the situation, which was crisp and beautiful.
The old man said: "It is said that the dragon and tiger mountain dragon and tiger, the young heroes will turn into dragons when they encounter the wind and clouds, and show their own duels to fight, sometimes sword light and sword shadow, sometimes fist to the sky, there is more dragon chant in the clouds, that dragon and tiger mountain disciple Zhang Huairou held the thunder in his hand to tear the world, and for a time knocked away the young heroes who fought with him from the stage, the audience was silent, who had ever seen it, someone held the five-fold heavenly thunder, full of golden light, like a god possessed!"
Speaking of this, the storyteller patted the wood, and after startling the thoughtful participants, he changed his tone and said: " There is also the Qinglian Sword God Li Taibai's apprentice grandson Li Duzun, and the peak sword fight between the young man of the Spirit Sword Sect Bai Zhen, which can surprise the VIPs in the audience, that scene is described by sword light and sword shadow, and it is also more than that, I saw that the white mark turned into a cloud sword, the sword came out of the thunder method, and used eighteen kinds of martial arts to deal with Li Duzun, that Li Duzhu didn't say a word, the sword light soared into the sky, and the white mark used the sword qi to attract the heavenly thunder to the sky, swept away, and cut off the opponent's arm in the air, it was really a young man, this scene is rare to see in a hundred years!"
There was an uproar in the tavern, and everyone looked at the storyteller in disbelief.
The storyteller patted his arm lightly with a folding fan, and said with a smile: "You don't need to doubt it, not only tens of thousands of spectators witnessed on the spot, but also the princes and ministers present, what the old man said can't be faked, what's even more amazing is that there is a person who won without a fight just by virtue of momentum, and successfully obtained the qualification to participate in the third round of the competition, this person is not a high-ranking disciple in the Sword Sect, but the illegitimate son of Shen Sanqian, the "second emperor" of our Daqing Dynasty, and the current head of the Shen family!"
As soon as this remark came out, the discussion in the building was even worse, many people knew that the illegitimate son of the Shen family who was now famous in the capital, but few people had seen it, and some people began to think of the bloody case of Xiushui Street, which was said to be that he went out alone to clean up all the traitors in the trading house, and couldn't help but wonder why a person of his status wanted to participate in the martial arts.
When he said that he used lobbying to get several opponents to let down their guard against him, let them scuffle with each other, and kick the victorious man out of the field with the last kick, these young drinkers immediately looked at each other, and then hugged their bellies and laughed, and they also heard about the wonderful story of the Shen family's illegitimate son wielding a sword in front of the palace, and they wanted to see this amazing young man in person, and then immediately urged the storyteller to continue to tell his story.
The old man was not in a hurry or impatient, in this increasingly fierce pipa sound, he smiled playfully, and said word by word: "If you want to know what will happen next, please listen to the next breakdown!"
After saying this, many of the wine customers in the building were very dissatisfied with the storyteller's sale, and then a few people saw this situation, so they honestly took out a few pieces of broken silver from their arms, and threw them into the copper basin on the old man's table.
Seeing this, the old man was also very satisfied, so he explained that the illegitimate son of the Shen family had entered the land of spring and autumn with the rest of the participants who had successfully advanced to the third round, and had not gone down the mountain until now, so it was very likely that they would have the opportunity to participate in the big finals.
At this time, no one noticed that in the most inconspicuous corner there was a young man who was drinking, and after drinking the wine in his glass, he left the restaurant, and did not forget to put on his hat and squeeze his head into the crowd of people in the street.
Because he was wearing an extraordinarily low-key gray robe, which seemed to disappear in a blink of an eye, like a drop of water flowing into a river.
