57. Second watch
"Master."
Shi Zhichuan's face was extremely stiff, he looked at his master, opened his mouth and was about to speak.
"You." After Lian Yun said this word, he disappeared in place, Shi Zhichuan heard a loud noise from the direction behind him, it should be the sound of a tree branch breaking, after a while Lian Yun came out of the woods, he carried a foot in his hand, and after walking in front of Lu Shengyuan and Shi Zhichuan, he threw the person he caught to the ground.
After a painful sound, Shi Zhichuan saw the young man who was thrown out by his master rolling, and half-knelt on the ground, looking at the three of them with a wary face.
"It's a weird stop." Lian Yun then finished what he had to say.
The young man was dressed in an extremely crisp dress, wearing only a waist-length waistcoat on his upper body, a knee-length shorts on his lower body, a bright blue cloth embroidered with flowers and plants, and a three-finger thick regular pattern on the edges, and the wrists and legs were wrapped in the same gorgeous fabric, tied with ropes.
Shi Zhichuan even saw the silver dangling circle hanging around his neck, and the pair of beautiful big earrings on his ears, this young man's whole body was an exotic style, beautiful but heroic, and extremely dazzling.
He slowly stood up, and after making sure that Lian Yun and the three of them didn't have the idea of attacking him, he said slowly, "Who are you?" β
Everyone present was stunned, Shi Zhichuan inexplicably felt that the other party's speech was a little familiar, he frowned and thought for a while, he didn't expect that he had ever seen a young man dressed like this.
Lu Shengyuan seemed to inadvertently glance at Lian Yun who was standing aside, and then said to Shi Zhichuan: "This time, I noticed that there is someone behind me who has indeed made great progress, but Xiaochuan, you stopped too abruptly, if the person hiding behind you is good enough in martial arts, you can detect that your breathing is wrong before you speak, and it is easy to escape or kill you." β
After he finished saying these words, he looked at the young man in the center, his eyes stayed on the other party's dress for a while, and asked, "Are you from the Miao Clan?" β
The young man didn't speak, and Lu Shengyuan smiled slightly: "We are people from the outside, as you can see, we are trying to find out who killed our companions." β
He kept his mouth shut about the purpose of coming to Nanshu, but only said that he wanted to find out the cause of death of his fellow disciple, which was not a lie, Lu Shengyuan had a frank face, and the young man's eyes went back and forth on his face and corpse several times, and finally said again: "I didn't kill him." β
This time, Shi Zhichuan understood that the other party's accent was a little strange, as if he was not used to saying that he was not used to it.
"Oh?" Lu Shengyuan.
Boy: "I came out this time to release bugs, it should smell the smell, all the way here, I followed and saw a few of you." β
Speaking of this, Sheng Yuan looked at the other party with a smile, the young man stood in place and was very jealous, this was the first time he met someone outside, and the other party was so powerful that killing him was like pinching an ant to death, and after a while, he frowned and stretched out one of his hands: "I'm not lying, this is 'delirium', I like carrion, and it is used for healing." β
There was a fat insect lying in his palm, but it looked a little similar to a cicada, but it didn't make a sound, and it was lying in the boy's hand.
"Forgive me for being rude, dare to ask you are a member of the Miao Clan?" Lu Shengyuan asked again.
This time the young man nodded affirmatively: "I am," he glanced at Lu Shengyuan, and said hesitantly, "If you don't kill me, I can save you." β
"Save?" It was Lian Yun who spoke out.
The Wu clan boy looked at Lian Yun: "Yes, didn't this person touch that corpse just now?" β
Lian Yun looked back at Lu Shengyuan fiercely, the other party's face still had a relaxed smile, and after noticing Lian Yun's gaze, Ren Lao looked distracted: "Are you poisoned?" He asked coldly, with a hint of anger in his tone.
Lu Shengyuan was a little surprised and Lian Yun was angry, and he explained: "I forgot to pay attention before. β
Such a sentence obviously couldn't dismiss Lian Yun, so he turned his head to look at the Wu Clan boy, obviously asking the other party to explain the reason.
"'Delirium' likes carrion, and it likes poison, so if it wants to rush over from afar, this corpse must be poisoned. And I can tell at a glance that he was poisoned, if not, the maggots on this corpse should not be the only one, and the rotten Cheng dΓΉ should also be heavier. The young man said, and then looked at Lu Shengyuan a little strangely.
"Since you can guess that I am from the Miao Clan, I should know more or less about our situation here, and I actually dare to reach out for the sword, and it is also good luck that your hand was not abolished immediately," he said, pointing to the corpse, "As long as this poison does not directly enter the body, it can still be saved." β
Lian Yun looked at the 'brave' Lu Shengyuan when he heard the sound, and he said softly, in that cold tone: "Amazing." β
So Lu Shengyuan rarely heard a sense of mockery, and the young man smiled weakly.
"How? Do you want to make this deal? The young man of the witch clan said.
Lu Shengyuan: "Me." β
Lian Yun: "Naturally. β
The person who was interrupted looked at Lian Yun helplessly, but saw that the other party didn't want to pay attention to his meaning at all, Lu Shengyuan touched the tip of his nose, his hand holding the sword had begun to be numb, if it was really not healed, it would not be long before his life would be gone.
The young man of the Wu clan glanced at Lian Yun, and then walked up to Lu Shengyuan with determination, he hesitated for a moment and said, "I'll look at your hand." β
Lu Shengyuan stretched out his hand that was still holding the sword, and the young man of the witch clan stared at it for a moment: "Put down the sword in your hand." β
Lu Shengyuan shook his head, his fingers let go of the sword and slid down, Lian Yun, who saw his movements, stared at him, and heard the young man of the Wu clan say: "How many times have you been poisoned by the faction, this hand has no feeling, right?" β
Lu Shengyuan: "That's true. β
After thinking for a while, the young man said to Lian Yun: "I'm afraid this kind of poison can't be solved by what I have, if you believe me, go back with me, and I will dispense medicine to detoxify him." β
After he said these words, he saw Lian Yun sink his head violently, he seemed to frown, and quickly looked sideways, before everyone had time to say anything, Lian Yun had already carried light power into the forest.
And anyone?!
The nerves of the other three people present tensed for a moment, and after about three breaths, a strange sound came from the direction where Lian Yun disappeared, some of which were like sharp sounds from the secret weapon breaking through the air, Shi Zhichuan's heart tightened when he heard this voice.
"Master!"
Then there was a crackling sound of broken branches, and when he heard this, the young man couldn't help but stand still in place, he turned around sharply and ran in the direction of Lian Yun's news, and disappeared into the forest after Lu Shengyuan only had time to call out his name.
The young man of the Wu clan looked at Lu Shengyuan a little dumbfounded, he didn't expect Shi Zhichuan to rush over like this, a fool can sense that something is wrong, and besides, that cold person looks so powerful, even if the movement is big, it can't be that person injured.
Lu Shengyuan realized that something was wrong, his five senses were far less powerful than Lian Yun, and he didn't know what Fang Cai's voice was about, and now Shi Zhichuan chased after him recklessly, and he didn't know if it would be a trap.
The young man of the Wu clan stretched out his hand to stop Lu Shengyuan: "You can't move around now, be careful that the poison in your body will go faster." β
So he had to stop again.
Mo Yo waited for a cup of tea, and Lu Shengyuan saw Lian Yun slowly walking out of the forest, the young man tilted his head slightly, his eyes didn't know where to stop, he seemed to be a little puzzled, Lu Shengyuan saw his hand that he didn't carry anything, and knew that Lian Yun didn't catch anyone.
"What did you just hear?" He asked.
Lian Yun said slowly: "The people of the Foggy Mountains. β
Lu Shengyuan didn't expect this answer, and was actually stunned: "Wushan? β
"It shouldn't be wrong," Lian Yun remembered the timbre very well because he had to learn to speak, and the exclamation he had just heard was obviously the voice he had heard on the Misty Mountain, but strangely, "No one." β
According to the range of his ears, when Lian Yun chased over, he didn't see a single figure, and what was even stranger was that he didn't even have a little human breath, as if the other party left immediately after making this sound.
"Where's Ogawa?" Lu Shengyuan asked.
This time it was Lian Yun's turn to be stunned, he turned his head to look at the place where Shi Zhichuan was standing, but saw that the young man who should be waiting there was not there for some reason.
"He followed you in," Lu Shengyuan explained, "and not long after you left, there was some noise in the woods, and he rushed in in a hurry. β
Only then did Lian Yun react, why did he see the branches that fell on the ground all the way when he came back just now, and he wondered that he didn't seem to interrupt these things when he left: "He followed me?" β
"That's right." Lu Shengyuan said in a deep voice, at this time, he was naturally sure that Shi Zhichuan was afraid that he had fallen into someone else's trap, and at this time, he was afraid that he should have been taken away from here.
The purpose of the other party is not known for the time being, and he is now poisoned and incapacitated, although Lian Yun's martial arts are very good, but the experience of the rivers and lakes is too little, for a while, Lu Shengyuan only felt that they and his group entered the land of Nanshu so rashly, he looked at the young man of the Wu clan on the side, and did not know what role the other party played.
Noticing Lu Shengyuan's gaze, the Wu Clan boy stiffened, and hurriedly waved his hand and said, "I really don't care about my business, he was arrested because you were targeted by that group of people." β
"The group?"
The young man bowed: "As soon as you come in, you must have been targeted, that group of people is 'crows', in our country does not belong to any sect, but because they like living people, they often wander in the outer places, once they are targeted, they will be caught, as for whether it is dead or alive, it all depends on the luck of that person, the person who is lucky to meet may be to try his martial arts or something, and if you are unlucky, you will meet some people with strange temperaments, hang his life, and it is possible to play for a month or two." β
"Play?" There was already some murderous aura in Lian Yun's voice.
The young man of the Wu clan trembled: "Many of those people just like to see people in pain, so they usually don't let the captured people die quickly, they will enjoy the process until they completely play people to death." β
At this time, Shi Zhichuan was dizzy and was caught in the arm of a person in the forest and moved quickly, he remembered that he ran into the forest, and the next moment his head was unconscious.
The person holding him felt that Shi Zhichuan had woken up, stopped suddenly, and threw Shi Zhichuan to the ground.
"Boy." The voice of the person who spoke was gloomy, and Shi Zhichuan looked up and was immediately frightened.
"You."
"You know me." The man raised an eyebrow, his purple lips curling into a nonchalant smile.
Shi Zhichuan shook his head: "I don't know." He looked at the clothes of the person in front of him and already knew the identity of the other party.
"You don't know me, but you don't seem scared." The man squatted down and stared at Shi Zhichuan's face and said, it stands to reason that he had to be in a coma for three hours after giving Shi Zhichuan the medicine, but this person was dizzy for a while and woke up.
"I don't think my predecessors want to harm me, so naturally I don't need to be afraid." Shi Zhichuan has been following Lu Shengyuan and Lian Yun for a while, and after forcibly calming down this time, he really can't see what he is afraid of just by looking at the surface.
"Oh?"
Shi Zhichuan: "I look at the dress of my predecessors, is it because I know the young man of the Wu clan before?" β
The man was silent.
"Since the seniors didn't let me continue to fall asleep when I woke up, or simply killed me, it seems that they didn't mean to harm me," Shi Zhichuan smiled, this expression was actually somewhat similar to Lu Shengyuan, "I boldly guess that the seniors should have designed to catch me in order to save the young man of the Wu clan." But it's a pity that you should have misunderstood, we didn't mean to harm him, it's just that my eldest brother Lu was poisoned, and it just so happened that he appeared there again, which is a little strange," Shi Zhichuan continued, "Besides, that young man has already promised to help the master detoxify us, let alone harm him." β
"So I'm doing this too much?"
Shi Zhichuan smiled at the people: "The seniors are worried about their own people, you just want to catch me and exchange it, but unfortunately things are a little unexpected for you." β
The man pursed his purple lips when he heard this, stood up and stared at Shi Zhichuan with some meaning: "Originally, I guessed that you should be a melon baby with no brains, but it turns out that you actually fell into such a simple plan and were caught by me, it is indeed a really bad brain." He looked at Shi Zhichuan's somewhat stiff face with satisfaction, "But now it seems that I probably look down on you, boy, you also have a bit of brains." β
was said by someone who had brains but no brains, Shi Zhichuan felt that his temper was really good, and he was not angry at all, he smiled at people and did not speak.
"Yo, so you don't get angry, I think it's really a melon baby."
"Hehe, the senior said it was funny." Shi Zhichuan looked away.
