Chapter Eighty-Six: Nightmares
The days fly by, in the blink of an eye, it has come to the twilight of spring, everywhere is full of purple and red flowers, green willows, blue water is slightly rippling, Long Wushuang has disappeared for two whole months, folk rumors are everywhere, all kinds of speculations are circulating everywhere, but the most widespread one is that he was eaten by a big snake outside Jincheng. Someone saw him fight with the big snake, and was chased out of Jincheng by the big snake, and then he never came back and never appeared again.
In the White Crane Gate, Jiang Tianhe was practicing martial arts, and a disciple returned from Jincheng and came to report: "Meet the old ancestor." β
Jiang Tianhe stopped practicing martial arts: "Is there any news of Long Wushuang?"
The disciple: "The people of Jincheng have said that Long Wushuang has been eaten by the big snake, and some people have seen him chased out of the city by a big snake, and they have never seen him again, and then a mysterious sect appeared, I don't know what sect it is, and I subdued the big snake, I don't know where it went." β
Jiang Tianhe frowned: "So no one saw him swallowed by a snake with their own eyes?"
The disciple: "That day, I also had disciples in Jincheng, although I didn't see the big snake eating Long Wushuang, but the mysterious sect surrendered the big snake outside the city and still saw it." β
Jiang Tianhe: "What kind of big snake is so powerful?"
The disciple: "There are a lot of folk legends, some say snakes, some say dragons, the size is very large, no one has ever seen it, the disciple has read a lot of information, history records that there was an incident of Jiao eating people a thousand years ago, so the disciple thinks it is Jiao, but where this Jiao came from, the disciple does not know." β
Jiang Tianhe seemed to suddenly realize: "If it is really Jiao, then Long Wushuang is afraid that he is really dead, Jiao is a monster, extremely vicious, with his current strength, it is not enough to fight it." β
The disciple: "I hope he will be eaten by Jiao, and the world will be peaceful." β
Jiang Tianhe: "Okay, I know, let's go and prepare, and set off for Jincheng tomorrow." β
After the disciple left, the stone he was pressing in his heart seemed to have been taken away all at once, and he felt extremely relaxed, he had been worried that Long Wushuang would come to Baihemen to make trouble for him, and now it seemed that Long Wushuang was very likely to die, what was he afraid of when he died, he almost looked up to the sky and laughed wildly.
He came to the place where Ji Dongqing was being held, entered the room, and looked at her who was sitting at the table sewing clothes: "Holly, how are you doing?"
When Ji Dongqing saw him coming, he hurriedly got up and saluted: "Old ancestor." β
Jiang Tianhe: "Holly, what does the old ancestor say about you, you said that you have no reason, how can you get along with Long Wushuang, I am also strange." β
Ji Dongqing: "Ancestor, there is no such thing, Holly and the big devil are incompatible." β
Jiang Tianhe: "Yes, will he come back with you on his back, you don't have to quibble, I asked you to take off your shoes on the day you came back, the soles of your feet are white and tender, did you walk back by yourself?"
Ji Dongqing: "He wants to extort the white crane immortal clothes of the old ancestor, so he has to hijack the disciple to come, but there are chasing soldiers behind him, and he is afraid that he will be caught up if he walks slowly, so he is not afraid of hard work to carry the disciple ......"
A sneer appeared at the corner of Jiang Tianhe's mouth: "Anyway, it's not clear, for the sake of our Baihemen's thousand-year-old reputation, you cut yourself off, after you die, Baihemen will still recognize you as a disciple of this sect and will give you a cemetery." β
Ji Dongqing's face turned pale as if she heard a thunderclap, and her voice trembled: "What, Ancestor, do you want Holly to die?"
Jiang Tianhe: "Didn't I say it clearly enough", after speaking, he turned around and left.
After he left, Ji Dongqing fell into great pain, she knew that her fate was like this, what would she do when she came back, it was better to die in Dadong Mountain at that time, she was crying silently, she knew that her fate was like this, it was better to simply follow Long Wushuang and be an errand runner for him, it was better than coming back and dying.
But there is no regret medicine in this world, she sat in despair for a day, and at night, Jiang Tianhe knew that she hadn't committed suicide yet, and lost her patience, and he was going to go out with his disciple tomorrow, and he had to deal with her before he set off.
The darkest hour finally came, in the dead of night, she was held down by several caretakers, a white silk around her throat, under the struggle, poor a wisp of incense soul, finally because of this terrible reality, it was difficult to escape the doom, a wisp of soul floated, shouting loudly: "Long Wushuang, avenge me, Long Wushuang ......"
In the cave in the mountain behind Dongtianzhai, Long Wushuang was dreaming, he dreamed that he was caught by a group of ghosts, and the head of the Hundred Ghost Sect smiled fiercely: "Long Wushuang, look where you are fleeing, hahahaha......"
The hundred ghosts were terrible, their eye sockets were bleeding, their ears were smoking, and they stretched out their bone-like claws and plunged them into his chest, and under the blood, he saw his dark red heart ripped out, and was thrown into his mouth by an evil ghost, and he bit it off violently......
"No, ......", he screamed miserably, but the hundred ghosts dispersed with a gloomy laugh, and the laughter lingered for a long time in the empty darkness, as if passing through purgatory, and his body floated in the air, as light as a feather, for a long time, for a long time, as if it would never fall to the ground.
In despair, in sorrow, a soft hand grabbed him, he turned his head and saw that it was Ji Dongqing fluttering over, holding his hand, and the two of them were floating aimlessly in the air.
"Ji Dongqing", he called her, why did she come: "Ji Dongqing, you go quickly, there are evil ghosts." β
A poignant smile appeared on her face: "Childe, Holly has become a ghost, I came to say goodbye to you today, and then I will hold hands with you for a ride, Childe, the future is precious." β
"What", he was taken aback, trying his best to see her clearly, but her face was always blurry: "Ji Dongqing", he called her, was what she said true?
A bloody heart floated in the air, gradually approaching, Ji Dongqing reached out to catch it, pressed it back, pressed the heart back into his body, she let go of her hand: "Childe, goodbye." β
She floated away, drifting farther and farther, and in a blink of an eye, there was only a phantom left, and in the darkness, his heart suddenly ached, and he shouted: "Ji Dongqing, Ji Dongqing......"
"Whew", he woke up from his sleep, sat up suddenly, gasping for breath, frightened, the person returned to reality, but his thoughts were still in the dream.
Yu Xiaoyu also woke up when she heard his scream, she got up and came to his side: "What's the matter, you have a nightmare?"
Long Wushuang was still immersed in the nightmare, the situation in the dream was really terrible, his face was pale, he was covered in sweat, and he instinctively covered his chest, making sure that it was still beating in his body, and then he let go of his heart.
He exhaled, got up, walked outside the cave and blew a cool breeze, but Ji Dongqing's shadow lingered, and he had a very bad premonition in his heart: "I can't stay here anymore, I have to go down the mountain." β
Yu Xiaoyu followed him out: "It's normal to have nightmares, who hasn't had nightmares, it's hard to hide and live a peaceful life, once you go down the mountain and are discovered, you will attract endless pursuits." β
Long Wushuang: "You don't need to say it, I have made up my mind, my parents died unexplained, and I haven't been able to find out the truth until now, I can't hide here as a shrinking turtle, what if I chase and kill, even if the sky falls, I have to go." β
Yu Xiaoyu: "Okay, since you have decided to go down the mountain, I will accompany you." β
Long Wushuang turned his head to look at her: "You don't have to go on an adventure with me, if I can come back alive, I promise you, marry you, if I die outside, you will recruit a good man to go up the mountain in the future, have children, and live a good life." β
Yu Xiaoyu pulled his arm: "If you die, I won't marry anyone." β
Long Wushuang: "Silly woman, I, Long Wushuang, am an outlaw, not worth your effort", he put his hand on her shoulder: "You are still young, you don't understand some things, so you are obsessed, and when you experience more things in the future, you will naturally figure it out, go to sleep, it's still early." β
Yu Xiaoyu: "I'm very naΓ―ve, but you don't want to trick me into staying in the mountain, I have to go with you." β
Long Wushuang looked up at the stars: "Whatever you want." β
On the second day, the two of them disguised themselves, went down Dadong Mountain, and walked towards the east, the situation in the dream was really terrible, and now I think that my heart is still "fluttering", and I must go to understand the current situation of the next season of holly, go to the surroundings of Baihemen, and strive to catch a disciple of Baihemen to inquire.
The two walked all the way fast, five days later, it was only two hundred miles away from Baihemen, and it was about to get dark, so the two of them rested temporarily in a small town, preparing to walk to Baihemen in one go.
The town is not big, there is only one street, about a mile long, there is only one inn in the whole town, there are few guests in ordinary times, but today in the middle of the night, a large group of people suddenly came, shouting to stay in the hotel, but the two hundred people outside the door, how can the inn live, can only knock on the people's doors everywhere, to people's homes to spend the night.
Long Wushuang and Yu Xiaoyu had already been woken up, they heard a noisy crowd, there were knocks everywhere, they opened the window and looked out, only to find that it was actually someone from Baihemen, the corner of his mouth showed a sneer, he was about to find someone to inquire about Ji Dongqing's situation, but they automatically sent it to the door, it couldn't be better.
The dark night was deep, covering everything, and it was also a good time to commit the crime, Long Wushuang waited until the dead of night, quietly acted, kidnapped a disciple of the White Crane Sect, and pressed him to the ground.
When he pulled off his mask, the disciple's eyes suddenly widened, who said that Long Wushuang was dead, and this demon was now pinching his neck, he was suddenly so frightened that he almost cried.
Long Wushuang stared at him deadly: "If you want to live, answer my question obediently." β
The disciple was frightened, how dare he disobey, and nodded hurriedly, only hoping that Long Wushuang would speak his word and not kill himself, his life would be pinched in the hands of others, and he couldn't help himself.
Long Wushuang asked word by word: "Ji Dongqing has been killed, right?", after speaking, he loosened the hand that was holding the disciple's throat a little, but he did not leave completely, as long as he dared to resist and scream, he could immediately cut his throat.
The disciple gasped: "I sympathize with Senior Sister, she died innocently, if you want to avenge her, go to our ancestor, this matter has nothing to do with us, and we can't save her." β
Long Wushuang's face was distorted, and he was furious, the news confirmed that she was really killed, Jiang Tianhe, that bastard, what about his original promise, he gritted his teeth, pinched the disciple's throat mercilessly, and without saying a word, he turned around and left.
There was a disciple in the inn who was killed, and it was soon discovered, and the disciples reported Jiang Tianhe, and he came to see it in person, but the murderer fled, I don't know who did it, but he has the ability to kill the disciples of this sect silently, it must be a martial arts master, he was angry for a while, but he had no clue, he could only make people vigilant and search all over the town.
On the top of a hill outside the town, Long Wushuang took Yu Xiaoyu to not even live in the shop, so he went to the top of the mountain to find a stone to rest on the spot. He knew that Jiang Tianhe would definitely inspect the town thoroughly, and he didn't want him to know that he was following them now, he wanted to see what they were going out for, so he withdrew.
It's just that he couldn't sleep all night, his heart was full of anger and pain, Ji Dongqing saved his life, she was such a good person, the world didn't let her go, he secretly swore that he must destroy Baihemen and avenge her.
