Feeling cold on his face, Dongfang Tianma woke up from his coma, and Aunt Qing's worried face immediately appeared in front of him. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

"Pegasus! Thank goodness you're finally awake. Liu Qing's eyes were slightly red, and her hair was scattered, not as neatly combed as usual.

"I'm ...... What's wrong? Dongfang Tianma asked as he reluctantly sat up from the bed.

Liu Qing said: "Have you forgotten? You secretly ran to participate in the assessment of the city-state swordsman regiment without telling me, but you were beaten to death. Do you know how worried I am about you? Last night, I nodded obediently and agreed, but I didn't expect to go secretly today. You kid...... You kid so much hurts my heart......" she said and burst into tears, tears sliding down her fair cheeks like dewdrops from a bouquet of flowers that had just been inserted into a vase, beautiful but not erasing the almost morbid poignantness.

In Dongfang Tianma's heart, the person who doesn't want to hurt the most is Aunt Qing. But he always inadvertently makes this very maternal woman sad, the reason may be that they are too familiar with each other in more than ten years of getting along, so that many details are not concerned at all, but just like all relatives in this world, everyone is inevitably used to each other, just like the water in two cups poured into the same inside, and you and I can no longer tell you and me.

Dongfang Tianma received a wooden sword from Liao Zisheng on the left side of his face, leaving a striking cyan scar, which not only made his flesh ache faintly, but also left a scar on his heart that could never heal. Until this time, he could not accept the fact that he lost to Liao Zisheng.

Liu Qing had already wiped away the tears from her face at this time, reached out and picked up a bowl of porridge placed on a small stool, picked up the spoon and said to Dongfang Tianma: "Drink this bowl of shrimp porridge quickly, sleep well, and don't mention anything about being a swordsman." I've bought all the things you went to the academy for, and I'll ask Yun Jiu to send you to Claw Frog City early tomorrow morning. ”

Dongfang Tianma, who was sitting on the bed, was powerless to refute, originally thinking of proving himself through the assessment of the city-state swordsman regiment, but he didn't expect that things would greatly surprise him, and even develop towards a worse situation. The sadness in Aunt Qing's eyes made him unable to say a word, and he couldn't bear to say a word.

At midnight, the moonlight shone in through the window, and the Eastern Pegasus stared at the dark room with his eyes open. Was this how your life was decided? Isn't there any more opportunity for conversion? He couldn't control his heart, and such questions echoed in his ears repeatedly.

He simply sat up from the bed, put on his clothes and walked out of the Zhong Ting lightly, and on the empty streets of the village and town, only the evening breeze was acting recklessly. As he walked aimlessly along the village road, he came to the vicinity of the logging clearing, and the outline of the abandoned wooden house could be seen from a long distance. The wind here was even stronger and colder, and the Eastern Pegasus couldn't help but shiver, and went to find a wooden pier near the deserted wooden house.

Tomorrow is going to leave Fengqi Village, to face a new environment alone, and to know a lot of strangers, I don't know if I can do as Aunt Qing hopes, work hard to learn the knowledge of soul stones that I have no interest in, if I can graduate successfully, he wants to tell Aunt Qing that he has always liked Nie Ru, wants to live with Nie Ru, and form a family full of hope and happiness.

In the distance, there was the sound of feet stepping on fallen leaves, as if they had been brought to their ears by the evening breeze, and Dongfang Pegasus turned his head abruptly and looked in the direction from which the sound came. Strangely, there was no movement of human figures, and the sound was gone. Just when he was wondering, he found a figure in the distance where the fallen leaves were piling up.

He walked over with a wary mood and saw the man clearly through the bright moonlight. Wearing a long dark green coat, a fiery red beret, a shiny silver saber hanging from his waist, and jet-black boots, he was about fifty years old, with a slender cheek and deep forehead lines, and his eyes were closed in pain.

Faced with this middle-aged man who suddenly appeared in the woodland, Dongfang Tianma didn't know what to do. Besides, the other party is wearing a military uniform and carrying a saber, so his identity must not be simple. Just as he hesitated, he saw a dazzling turquoise light emitted from the middle-aged man's left hand, which shook so much that he couldn't look directly with his eyes. The light was like a bright galaxy, and the moment of sparkling seemed to have the chanting of the elves, and even the bright moonlight in the sky could not compete with it.

Dongfang Tianma covered his eyes with his hand, squatted down and stretched out his other hand to grope, and finally touched the glowing object in the palm of the middle-aged man's hand. The surface is smooth and cold, and it is as light and heavy as a normal stone in your hand. After he held it in his hand, the light of the thing gradually dimmed, and it became a hazy state.

Dongfang Tianma only took a closer look at it at this time, and it turned out to be an egg-sized piece of jade with a clear surface and an oval shape. With this hazy light, Dongfang Tianma discovered that in the abdomen of the middle-aged man, there were three wounds left by the stabbing of the sword. Seeing that it hurt deeply, the red blood was still flowing out.

Just when Dongfang Tianma was staring at the blood in a daze, the middle-aged man snorted in pain, slowly opened his eyes, and when he saw the young man in front of him, he suddenly stretched his brows that were furrowed because of the pain, and asked, "Boy, what is this place?" ”

Dongfang Tianma panicked, and subconsciously replied: "Fengqi Village ......"

The middle-aged man said, "Boy, listen! I was seriously injured, and I guess I couldn't help it. I have twenty Golden Soul Stones on me, all of them for you! But you have to promise to do one thing for me, something very important! ”

Dongfang Tianma didn't stay or stay, he was silent and didn't answer, just stood there in a daze.

"Hey! Are you listening to me? The middle-aged man was obviously very dissatisfied with Dongfang Tianma's attitude, and the wrinkles on his forehead deepened significantly, as if he was a tiger jumping in the mountains, and a dragon in the waves had a majestic momentum.

"Yes...... I'm listening. Dongfang Tianma held the piece of jade and replied, he had already been shocked by the momentum of the middle-aged man, and his teeth trembled when the words came to his mouth, and he didn't dare to breathe.

When the middle-aged man saw his appearance, he thought that he was begging others to do things after all, so he eased his attitude and said, "What you are holding in your hand is a green soul stone of the imprinted species, if you want, I can give you this soul stone as well." Of course! The premise is that you must promise me what I have asked you to do. ”

Dongfang Tianma saw that the middle-aged man's breath was getting weaker and weaker, and the blood in his abdomen was flowing more and more, so he had to reluctantly nod and agree.

Only then did the middle-aged man reassure him and said: "What I want you to do is not difficult, I need you to go to the imperial city in the south of the continent and help me bring a letter to Luo Yannan, the master soul stone craftsman who works in the Langhua Workshop on Cainiao Avenue in the south of the city." ”

Dongfang Tianma nodded, "No problem." If it's a letter, I'm up to it. ”

The middle-aged man's face turned pale, he stretched out his weak palm to test the dark green long coat, took out a heavy black money bag, handed it to Dongfang Tianma and said, "This is twenty golden soul stones, one is not less." ”

Dongfang Tianma took it in his hand, and when he saw that the middle-aged man was dying, he knew that he was dying, so he hurriedly asked, "What about the letter?" What do you want me to send? Where is it? ”

The middle-aged man said: "It's a message, I can only say it once, you listen carefully." ”

Dongfang Tianma nodded earnestly and pricked up his ears to listen carefully.

The middle-aged man said: "The white dove landed on the bell tower, the dark clouds came from the sky, and a page of the calendar was torn off, which was done by a clown hidden in the dark." After he finished speaking, he tried to raise his eyes, looked at Dongfang Tianma, and said, "Repeat it to me." ”

Dongfang Tianma nodded vigorously and repeated, "The white dove has landed on the bell tower, the dark clouds are coming from the sky, and a page of the lunar calendar has been torn off, which is the work of a clown hidden in the dark. After finishing speaking, he stared at the middle-aged man and asked, "But what do you mean by this?" Can't explain it at all? ”

The middle-aged man took a few breaths and said, "This is a code word, if you tell it to the other party, you will naturally understand." You remember! You must go to the Langhua Workshop on Cainiao Avenue in the south of the city, and this code word can only be said to Luo Yannan alone. If you can't see Luo Yannan in person, or if Luo Yannan is dead, forget this code word and don't mention it to anyone again. Otherwise, you're going to kill yourself! ”

Dongfang Tianma said: "But how should I explain it to the person named Luo Yannan?" Will he be able to believe what I say? ”

"You don't need to explain, as long as you show this Printed Soul Stone to Luo Yannan, he will understand everything......" After the middle-aged man finished speaking, his cheeks suddenly twitched unconsciously, a pair of eyes slowly closed, the qi that came out of his mouth was more and less qi entered, and the effort to blink was gone.

Dongfang Tianma held the imprinted soul stone that emitted turquoise light in his left hand, and carried a heavy money bag in his right hand, just standing beside the middle-aged man who had died in a daze. He didn't know how long he had been there, and he had forgotten how he had walked home. All he remembered was finding an old shovel from the abandoned wooden house and burying the middle-aged man's body behind the house. The heaviness of the corpse after death, and the spade after spade of dirt, made him never forget it in his life.
