Suddenly, a cold hand grabbed Yunyang's wrist. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
Her heart jerked up, almost jumping out of her throat, but it quickly slowly returned to its place.
Yunyang took the initiative to hold the hand and slowly groped in the direction of the arm.
She smelled a faint scent of osmanthus flowers.
With a soft "snap", Zhao Yuan lit a fire fold and dispelled the darkness here.
Yunyang took advantage of the firelight to see Zhao Yuan crawling on the ground next to him, holding the fire fold in one hand and supporting his body with the other, his face was a little pale.
Seeing that Yunyang was safe and sound, Zhao Yuan nodded lightly: "Just now...... Well done! After speaking, the corners of his mouth curved into a beautiful arc, revealing neat white teeth, but now these teeth are covered with a layer of blood.
"You...... Vomiting blood? Yoonyang's bones wrinkled and he approached him with concern.
Zhao Yuan put away his smile a little embarrassed. He turned his head, looked at the place where there was a chaotic noise just now, and said, "I was accidentally plotted by him and hit the 'Soul Breaking Pestle'." ā
Yun Yang followed his gaze and found that a weapon rack in front of him had been knocked down, and the cold and shining weapons were scattered all over the ground. Some were inserted directly into a corpse that had fallen on the armory rack.
Originally, Yun Yang didn't dare to watch this kind of bloody scene. But the corpse in front of her was so peculiar that she couldn't help but look at it twice.
What people didn't expect was that the person who fell on the weapon rack turned out to be a dwarf, less than three feet long, with yellow skin, wearing a bearded robe, a piece of animal skin obliquely wrapped around his chest, and **** his feet.
A hammer-like weapon similar to him fell to the side. Both sides of this weapon were covered with brass rings. It seems that the sound of the copper rings colliding before came from here.
"Where is the general's injury, I'll help you up." Yunyang was more concerned about Zhao Yuan's injuries and walked up to him and said.
"No, it's not that serious." Zhao Yuan sat up straight and moved his arms. Although this action caused a straining pain in his chest, he knew that it did not hurt his muscles and bones.
When he faced off with the Yanqi master just now, Zhao Yuan used his soft sword to fight with the Soul Breaker. Although the strength of this soft sword is not large, it is soft and easy to bend, coupled with Zhao Yuan's height and long arms, and various attack angles, after more than a dozen moves, this Yanqi master did not take advantage.
When he saw that he couldn't solve it quickly, he came up with a plan. first made a false move, then feinted defeat and fled, and Zhao Yuan chased after him.
After being introduced into this basement. Due to the sudden dimming of the light, Zhao Yuan couldn't see for a while, and in this moment, he was smashed from behind by the Yanqi master.
The "Soul Breaking Pestle" is extremely powerful, if Zhao Yuan didn't have the thousand-year-old ice silk black gold soft armor body he was wearing, he would be seriously injured if he ate this pestle. But he was only shocked and vomited blood, but his five organs were not injured.
Despite this, Zhao Yuan still felt that his eyes were dark and fainted.
Just now, the Yanqi master was pushed hard by Yunyang and knocked over the weapon rack, making a loud noise, which woke Zhao Yuan up.
Zhao Yuan slowly stood up, seeing Yunyang's worried face. In order to make her feel relieved, Zhao Yuan smiled and said, "Do you know that you saved my life just now!" ā
Yun Yang was puzzled and said, "But I didn't know the general was here. ā
Zhao Yuan looked back at the corpse of the Yanqi master and said, "He should be regarded as the top master in the Western Regions, and there are no more than 5 people who have reached such a high level of martial arts cultivation in the Western Regions." No wonder I saw two fish-eyed BMWs in the stables. ā
"Two horses?" When Yunyang heard this, he immediately became nervous: "So, there is still a master outside?" ā
"It's not." Zhao Yuan explained: "The other horse was ridden by his master. It is not easy for such a master to invite one, there is no need to invite two. ā
"If it weren't for his lack of defense against you today, and your good luck, the two of us would never have been able to get out of here alive."
Speaking of this, Zhao Yuan paused and said, "How did you get here, didn't I say I wouldn't let you come out?" ā
Yunyang told him exactly what had just happened.
After listening to Yunyang's words, Zhao Yuan bit his lip: "I didn't expect him to be a 'tongue changer'!" I underestimate him, he must be the number one master in the Western Regions! ā
"Tongue change?" Yun Yang listened to the name so weird.
"This is a kind of kung fu in the secret transmission of the Western Regions. If you learn this kind of kung fu, you can imitate anyone's voice, which is almost exactly the same, and you can't distinguish it at all. ā
"But there are very few people who have practiced this kind of kung fu, and it takes almost 50 years to produce one. Because on the day of this practice, a bloody ritual is to be performed. ā
"On the day the apprentice leaves the school, both the master and the apprentice have to cut off one-third of their tongues with a knife, exchange them and sew them up. This is the official teacher. ā
When Yunyang heard this, he only felt that the back of his neck began to feel cold: "Is it okay to stitch like this?" Won't it suppurate? ā
Zhao Yuan nodded with a serious expression: "Although some apprentices can endure the severe pain when their tongues are cut, they often can't bear the adaptation period after changing their tongues, and nine out of ten die due to suppuration of their tongues." ā
"So there are very few people who can fully learn." Speaking of this, Zhao Yuan speculated: "It seems that he wants to lure you into the basement to kill." After the transaction was completed, the store was set on fire, leaving no credentials. ā
"If he wants to kill me, why don't he kill me on the second floor. And bothering to get me here? Yunyang said confusedly.
Zhao Yuan thought for a while and said, "Maybe he doesn't want his master to know that someone has infiltrated the inn." Because it is undeniable that anyone who enters the inn is a dereliction of duty on the part of this Yanqi master. ā
Yunyang was still a little puzzled: "Since he plans to kill us, why is he burning the inn, isn't this more eye-catching?" ā
Zhao Yuan replied: "According to the habit of the Yanqi people, once discovered, whether the other party is dead or not, the transaction location will be scorched to earth. to show strength. ā
Speaking of this, he changed his words: "How do you know that it is not me who speaks, and if it were me, will you also give me an iron rod?" ā
Yunyang blushed when he heard this, and hurriedly explained, "Of course not!" This man has learned your voice very well, but as he walked ahead, I could smell the smell of leather and horsehair wafting in, unlike the scent of the general. ā
"Oh!" The smile in Zhao Yuan's eyes became even stronger: "What smell does I have?" ā
Yun Yang avoided his gaze and said, "The general has a faint scent of osmanthus on his body. ā
Zhao Yuan remembered the old laurel tree that was blooming in the Changxin Palace.
At this time, the fire fold was about to burn out, and Zhao Yuan took out another one and lit it: "We have to go out quickly, there are not a few fire folds." ā
Yoonyang nodded, and the two of them walked out side by side.
As soon as he walked out of the basement door, Zhao Yuan saw that the light in the inn hall was much brighter than just now. Knowing that the deal has begun, he sends a "don't make a sound" gesture to Yunyang. Then the two of them found a dark place behind the wall and hid.
