Chapter Twenty-Seven: Barefoot Xie San (3)
"Is this a spell?" Xiang Xiaoyuan asked in a low voice. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
Zhu Qingheng said: "It's just a little trick." I don't know what happened to that master and the white-clothed uncle to make this Taoist master so cautious. She was worried that what she said here would be heard by the people in the courtyard with high mana, so she said it very politely.
Mrs. Zhanqin sat beside them with Zhanqin, and Zhanqin was not sure whether she should continue to pretend to be sick at this time, so she seemed a little listless, and did not mention the discomfort on her body. Master Zhan sat here and waited for Zhanhong. As soon as he returns, he plans to take one of them to the town's regular medical clinic for consultation. After half a cup of tea, Zhanhong had not yet returned, but he heard a "bang", and a wave of heat exploded in front of their eyes, directly lifting them from the ground and throwing them to the wasteland five meters behind them.
Zhu Qingheng's body was hurt by the fall, supported his upper body, and looked at the front in a daze. I saw that the nondescript Taoist temple just now was razed to the ground in an instant, and two phantoms fought on the ruins.
Two? Her heart tightened. Looking closely, I could barely see that one of them was holding a dust whisk in his right hand and a gold chain in his left hand. The other man had white hair like a waterfall, his clothes moved without wind, and a string of beads made of fist-sized skulls hung from his chest. I saw that he was like a virgin, his lips were like a little dan, his eyes were closed, his eyebrows were long into his sideburns, and there was a black meniscus scar in the middle of his forehead.
Look again, the black crescent moon on the man's forehead is a scar, it is a closed eye!
The white-haired young man waved his arm, contained the Taoist priest's attacks in his sleeve, and said with a smile in his voice: "Wuna Taoist, you have helped to respect the merits of seeing the sky, and I don't care about you now." Wait for the deity to have a full meal and come back to you. ”
Zhu Qingheng's heart was cold, and his hair stood on end for no reason. Although she didn't know what the origin of this person was, looking at the bloody and pitiful appearance on the Taoist priest's clothes, the three of them were definitely not this person's opponents. Hurriedly grabbed Xiang Xiaoyuan's sleeve and shouted, "Run!" ”
Ah Ling was already pondering the words of the white-haired young man, and when she heard Zhu Qingheng's shout, she immediately jumped up from the ground and ran out. Unexpectedly, the white-haired young man turned his head, and the third eye on his forehead opened, and the blue-gold eyes inside stared at Ah Ling, although Ah Ling was still running, he seemed to be imprisoned there, and he couldn't move a step.
Zhu Qingheng said in his heart: "This person only has one eye, and if he can imprison Ah Ling, the others may be able to escape." He immediately took out the sword from the package and shouted, "Everyone spread out and run!" While cutting off a tree beside him, the tip of the sword was raised, and the dense canopy fell, just interrupting the white-haired young man's gaze at Ah Ling, who suddenly escaped from the restraints.
As soon as they heard Zhu Qingheng's words, they immediately ran away as if they had grabbed a life-saving straw. Some ran to the east, some to the city gates, and some to the town. The white-haired boy was not annoyed when he saw this scene, he suddenly laughed strangely, and the sound came in bursts, and the head of the person who shook him hurt. Zhu Qingheng pulled towards the small garden and rolled directly into a small river next to the Taoist temple. The two of them dived into the water and swam far downstream, although the strange laughter was still endless, but it was not as painful as Fang Cai, which made them bleed.
The two of them plucked two reed poles, one standing on the surface of the river and the other in their mouths for ventilation. I don't know how far I swam, and although the strange laughter stopped, the screams were still endless. Several times Zhu Qingheng felt that there were figures passing by on the river, and she and Xiang Xiaoyuan carefully hid their bodies under the lotus leaves and aquatic plants, fortunately, the two of them were young and their bodies could barely be covered.
After more than an hour, the town gradually returned to tranquility, and a person floated from the upper reaches of the river, Zhu Qingheng dragged the person's feet to take a closer look, it was actually the Taoist priest in the Taoist temple. The man's eyes and ears were bleeding, and his hair, beard, and eyebrows were all gone, and the sun shone like a big lantern.
Zhu Qingheng saw that he was still angry, so he took out the big turn pill from the package and fed him with river water. Xiang Xiaoyuan also swam over to help support the old Taoist's head, she had been soaking in the river for too long, and she didn't have the meager spiritual power that Zhu Qingheng had cultivated before, she was shivering from the cold, and the old Taoist's head was shaking. Zhu Qingheng looked at her pitiful appearance, and hurriedly found the next grade of Purple Fire Pill for her to eat.
Zhu and Xiang dragged the unconscious Taoist priest and continued to swim forward. It wasn't until the trees on the shore were lush and away from people that he relaxed a little, went ashore to Xiaoyuan first, dragged the Taoist priest's body, Zhu Qingheng pushed him in the water, and worked together to pull this person ashore, and Zhu Qingheng also followed.
Neither of them had flint and steel in their hands, but fortunately, Xiang Xiaoyuan had taken the Purple Fire Pill before, and Zhu Qingheng had a little bit of spiritual power that he had cultivated before, so he was not cold. They took off their coats and wrung the water, and the woods were quiet and terrible, and after a while, they said to Xiaoyuan, "I don't know what happened to Ah Ling." ”
Zhu Qingheng lowered his head again, which had been raised because of talking to Xiaoyuan. After a while, he sighed softly: "Maybe ......"
Xiang Xiaoyuan turned his back, covered his face and sobbed in pain and suppression.
Zhu Qingheng looked at her toes for a while, squatted down, she didn't know how to take the pulse, so she had to put her hand on the Taoist priest's neck to feel his pulse in the old way. It seemed to be more powerful than when he was in the river just now, and he took out a small spinning pill from the package and fed it to the Taoist priest. Seeing that his breathing was steady and powerful, he breathed a sigh of relief. He then pulled off his coat and threw it aside, and rummaged in his arms.
Xiang Xiaoyuan saw that Zhu Qingheng took out a golden chain from the arms of the Taoist priest, and said in surprise: "That's, that's ......."
Zhu Qingheng nodded: "Yes, it's the handcuffs that the monk and the uncle in white were handcuffed together before." ”
Xiang Xiaoyuan said: "That monster...... Is that them? But how can there be only one person? ”
Zhu Qingheng took a deep breath and speculated: "Just now the man said that this Taoist priest helped him see the light of day again, maybe this monster was sealed in the body of one of them, this handcuff was taken off, the monster woke up, and then killed the other person." ”
He walked over to Xiaoyuan and took the golden handcuffs into his hands. At this time, it was almost dark, and with the dense foliage overhead, the forest was already very dark. But the handcuffs glowed faintly golden in the night, and they were warm to hold. The faint light shone on Xiang Xiaoyuan's face like white jade.
Zhu Qingheng continued to rummage through the things of this Taoist priest, and instructed: "If you see it, put it away first." It's too conspicuous to attract anything. ”
"Okay." Xiang Xiaoyuan replied and took the chain into his arms. She looked down and saw a stack of yellow rune paper piled up beside the Taoist priest, a box of cinnabar-like things in a round glass box, a wooden sword the size of an adult's palm, and a bright yellow letter. But the letter was soaked with water, and the ink was smudged on the envelope.
