Chapter 878: Like a Treasure
Dou Zhanlong looked at the blooming snow lotus, the corners of his mouth rose, revealing a good-looking smile, as if he had forgotten the setbacks in his life, and his heart suddenly relaxed a lot.
"Dou Zhanlong, have you seen the snow lotus?" Mu Liubing's body was aging, his strength was insufficient, his face was ugly, his hands were trembling constantly, and his voice asked eagerly.
"Pick it up right away!" Dou Zhanlong was slightly stunned, came back to his senses, cheered up, and waited for the snow lotus to bloom, and his heart became inexplicably excited.
The buds of the snow lotus bloomed bigger and bigger, the colors were bright, revealing full of nobility, and it seemed to sense Dou Zhanlong's heartbeat, and it became more delicate.
Dou Zhanlong swallowed his saliva, took a deep breath, saw the right time, grabbed the iron rope with his right hand, raised his left hand suddenly, stiffened his wrist, turned his five fingers flexibly, and raised the short knife violently, quickly turned his wrist, and cut the stem of the snow lotus with a knife.
Suddenly, a stream of white viscous liquid burst out, and with a "whoosh", it splashed towards Dou Zhanlong.
Dou Zhanlong's eyes were shocked, he held his breath and concentrated, his body was slightly on one side, barely maintaining his body balance, standing up again, and couldn't help but breathe a long sigh of relief.
Suddenly, after Dou Zhanlong took a breath, he found that the buds of the snow lotus were falling rapidly, and if he was not careful, he would fall into the cliff.
Dou Zhanlong's forehead was sweating slightly, his expression was nervous, and he stared straight at the snow lotus, anxious in his heart, and fell into a hesitation.
If he let go, once his body is out of balance, Dou Zhanlong will immediately fall into the abyss; If you stand still, the snow lotus will fall into the cliff forever, and there is no way back.
After thinking about it, Dou Zhanlong made up his mind, his eyes were horizontal, his right hand loosened the chain, his feet supported the stone wall, and with a "whoosh", the short knife in his left hand was quickly changed to his right hand.
Holding the knife in his right hand, he stabbed straight into the crack of the stone, the center was slightly lowered, his left arm was straightened, and his left hand was all open, and it was difficult to touch the snow lotus.
At this critical juncture, a cool mountain wind struck, speeding up the falling speed of the snow lotus, and Dou Zhanlong tensed his nerves and was at a loss.
The strength of the short knife was limited, and it was crumbling in the stone crevice, and Dou Zhanlong's body sank, almost losing its balance and falling off the cliff.
Suddenly, Dou Zhanlong took a deep breath, supported the stone wall with his feet, twisted his waist hard, rotated three hundred and sixty degrees in the air, his head was down, his arms were outstretched, and he snatched the snow lotus.
Mu Liubing's eyes widened, he looked at Dou Zhanlong in horror and anxiety, and shouted loudly: "Don't you want to die?" ”
The mountain is steep, and if you let go of your hand a little, your body will be out of control and fall quickly.
The snow lotus flower became more and more delicate in Dou Zhanlong's hands, like a hideous banshee, which was really attractive.
Dou Zhanlong's eyes narrowed slightly, holding a flower in his left hand and a short knife in his right hand, and inserted it into the crack of the stone.
With the help of the stone wall and the power of the short knife, Dou Zhanlong quickly flipped over, jumped suddenly, hugged the iron chain with both arms, and breathed a long sigh of relief.
Mu Liubing's eyes were startled, he clenched his teeth, and used all his strength to pull the chain upward.
Dou Zhanlong took a deep breath, mobilized the ancient martial qi in his body, inhaled and exhaled, and quickly climbed to the top of the mountain according to the breathing method of hard qigong.
"You kid is really extraordinary!" Mu Liubing's face was flushed, his body was weak, he collapsed to the ground and patted Dou Zhanlong's shoulder, and said, "In addition to Master, you are the second to get the Snow Lotus with your own ability." ”
Dou Zhanlong was physically and mentally exhausted, barely smiled, and said breathlessly, "Thank you for your help!" ”
"You don't have to be so polite." Mu Liubing said calmly: "These are all based on your own talents. ”
After a short rest, Dou Zhanlong breathed a long sigh of relief, stood up from the ground, his face was solemn, and he said with a stern expression: "I have to rush back, once it is more than seven days, Dongfang Station may not do anything to Qian'er." ”
Mu Liubing's face was difficult to look at, his eyes were complicated, a little nostalgic, and more of a worry about the unknown.
He opened his lips slightly, his brows furrowed, and he looked like he wanted to say something.
Dou Zhanlong seemed to see Mu Liubing's thoughts, and preemptively said, "I know your concerns. But I still want to take a gamble. ”
Mu Liubing saw that Dou Zhanlong had made up his mind, sighed deeply, looked a little depressed, lowered his head slightly, thought for a moment, and said, "I'll send you away." ”
Under the leadership of Mu Liubing, Dou Zhanlong came to the valley again, and couldn't help but stop, recalling in his mind the dangerous situation in the valley he encountered.
When Dou Zhanlong first came to Dabarren Mountain, he had nothing to worry about, and he had nothing to worry about. But now, looking at the snow lotus in his hand, his expression became more and more solemn, for fear of any accidents.
The valley was filled with fog, and the situation was not clear at all, and the mountain wind blew wantonly in the valley, releasing a chill.
Dou Zhanlong swallowed his saliva, clenched the snow lotus in his hand, and prepared to jump down.
"Wait!" Suddenly, Mu Liubing's eyes widened, and he scolded, saying: "The fog in the valley will not disperse all year round, unless you encounter the pioneers and crack it." ”
"What's the solution?" Dou Zhanlong frowned and asked nervously.
"The fog in the valley seems ordinary, but it is actually an obstacle." Mu Liubing took a deep breath, his face was solemn, and he said thoughtfully: "To tell you the truth, these are the obstacles specially imposed by the master back then, the purpose of which is to prevent me from meeting Dongfang Station. ”
"I see." Suddenly, Dou Zhanlong suddenly realized and muttered to himself: "Because of this, Dongfang Station deceived me into coming in order to save the body. ”
"That's right!" Mu Liubing's eyes were affirmative, nodded again and again, and said, "Master once said that whether it is me or Dongfang Station, as long as someone crosses this valley, he will definitely leave his life in the valley. ”
Dou Zhanlong's face changed greatly, and he said a little incredulously: "Your master clearly wants you to keep you from getting along!" ”
"Hey!" Mu Liubing sighed, and said with a sad look in his eyes: "Maybe the master is protecting the two of us." Without contact, there would be no contradictions, without contradictions there would be no fighting, and without struggle, there would be no danger to life. ”
Dou Zhanlong's footsteps moved forward slightly, leaned out tentatively, carefully lowered his head to observe the situation in the valley, and couldn't help but gasp.
Suddenly, Mu Liubing took out the iron chain again, and said calmly: "I want to find a way to go in and break the barrier, and then you see the iron chain shake three times, it means that the situation is safe, and you can pass the valley safely." ”
"Senior, aren't you killing yourself by doing this?" Dou Zhanlong looked anxious, his eyes were panicked, he reached out and grabbed Mu Liubing's arm, and said in a nervous voice.
"I've been hiding with Dongfang Station all my life, and there are some things that it's time to solve!" Dongfang Station looked calm and said calmly.
As soon as the words fell, Mu Liubing jumped into the valley without looking back, staggering, groping with his hands, looking for a way through the valley and to the opposite side.
Dou Zhanlong frowned, his eyes were worried, holding the snow lotus in his hand, he stood motionless, his eyes wide, observing the situation in the valley.
On the other side of the mountain, Qiaozhen counted her fingers, thinking about the day when Dou Zhanlong returned, poking out her head from time to time and looking into the distance.
"Ahem!" Dongfang Zhan cleared his throat, walked into the room, looked at Qiaozhen tentatively, and said in a cold tone: "Don't look any further, that kid won't come back." ”
"Why?" Qiao Zhen's face was displeased, and she asked stubbornly with a stubborn look.
"There are many obstacles in the valley, even if the internal force is strong, it can't be passed." Dongfang Station looked affirmative, and said in a stern tone: "Besides, the snow lotus flower only blooms once every hundred years, and the opening position is extremely hidden and dangerous, and it will not be found lightly." ”
The more Qiao Zhen listened, the more worried she became, her eyes were full of worry, her brows were tightly wrinkled together, and she said, "Grandpa, you deliberately let Dou Zhanlong kill himself, right?" ”
"Yes and what!" Dongfang Zhan raised his eyebrows sharply and said, "Dou Zhanlong, this kid has a lot of energy in his body, and he fell from such a high place and was unscathed, obviously not a simple character. ”
"Grandpa, why are you targeting Dou Zhanlong everywhere, even putting him to death?" Qiaozhen's eyes were red, and she said in a choked voice.
Dongfang Zhan frowned, looked at Qiao Zhen's face with pity, gritted his teeth angrily, and said angrily: "Because you are interesting to Dou Zhanlong, but the two of you are destined not to be together." ”
"Why?" Qiao Zhen looked unwilling, stomped her feet and asked, "Dou Zhanlong is a person who values love and righteousness, why can't we be together?" ”
"Don't talk about it again!" Seeing Qiao Zhen's stubbornness, Dongfang Station raised his voice and shouted loudly: "As long as I live in the world for one day, I will never allow you to have anything to do with Dou Zhanlong." ”
Dongfang Station recalled the events of his youth, and his heart couldn't help but throb. If he hadn't been young and vigorous, he resolutely chose to go to the mountain to learn martial arts, how could he have abandoned the woman he loved, and how could he have killed that woman to commit suicide?
He pretended to be casual, put his hands behind his back, slowly walked out of the room, and said, "If this woman hasn't woken up before twelve o'clock tonight, throw it away." ”
Qiaozhen looked at the back of Dongfang Station leaving, the indescribable pain in her heart, and looked into the distance in a daze, hoping that Dou Zhanlong would come back soon.
When night fell, there were only two hours left before the time agreed between Dou Zhanlong and Dongfang Station, and Qiaozhen was worried in her heart, wandering back and forth.
"Senior, senior, open your eyes and wake up!" Dou Zhanlong was physically and mentally exhausted, sweating profusely, and helped Mu Liubing up with a wolf face, his voice trembled, shaking Mu Liubing's body, and said, "Senior, are you okay?" ”
Mu Liubing slowly opened his eyes, looked at Dou Zhanlong weakly, and said, "Did we succeed here?" ”
"It's here!" Dou Zhanlong's eyes were affirmative, nodded vigorously, and said: "Senior, as long as you persist for ten minutes, you can meet Dongfang Station and resolve the grievances of this life!" ”
"I probably won't have a chance!" Mu Liubing's face turned pale, his voice became weaker, he shook his head, and said with difficulty: "When you see Dongfang Station, give this to him." ”
"What is this?" Dou Zhanlong's face was indifferent, and he asked inexplicably.
Mu Liubing opened his mouth, couldn't say anything, had no strength, and collapsed to death in Dou Zhanlong's arms.
Dou Zhanlong raised his eyebrows, simply picked up Mu Liubing, and walked to the residence of Dongfang Station step by step.
"Dou Zhanlong, come back quickly!" Qiaozhen prayed silently, staring straight in the direction of the door.
"Qiaozhen, it's almost time!" At this time, Dongfang Station walked in from the outside, and said with a cold expression: "Hurry up and dispose of this woman." ”
"Grandpa, there's still ten minutes left!" Qiaozhen puffed out her cheeks, widened her eyes, and said matter-of-factly.
