Chapter 40: The Enchantress (2nd Watch)
(Catch bugs)
The four of them were originally going north to find Anjiu, but who thought that they would lose their way before they arrived, and they ran into a random way, but they found a marked grave without identifying the direction.
Several people immediately recognized that this was the sign of the dagger on the map, and Mei Tingjun got a complete route on the map, so he wanted to get the dagger, but because several people couldn't distinguish the direction, they didn't know which map the dagger belonged to, Mei Tingzhu wanted to get it first, and he ended up fighting with Mei Tingjun.
Mei Tingyu and Mei Tingchun went up to pull the rack, but their martial arts were inferior to those two and they suffered from the pond fish.
"Mei San!" Mei Tingjun said angrily, "You dare to rob me!" β
Mei Tingzhu sneered, "What, annoyed and angry?" Why should something good be yours? β
"Sister, calm down, he's our brother." Mei Tingyu was very impatient, "Even I can see that this is a conspiracy, a pit deliberately dug by the old lady in order to test us, you have always been smart, how can you not see it?" β
"Who said I can't see it." Mei Tingzhu said, "Since you know that the Dao is a temptation, can you guess what the answer is?" β
The answer is simple - absolute obedience to orders.
An Jiu has fulfilled countless times, and the last time of his life is still being fulfilled.
"It's about getting the job done at all costs." Mei Tingzhu stared at them word by word and said, "There are only predecessors and servants in the Crane Control Army, there is no way out, if you are not prepared for this, don't send them to death!" β
She moved her feet slightly, and put on a shelf, "Come on, whoever wins will be whoever!" β
Mei Tingchun pursed his lips and took a few steps back, "I can't do martial arts, I ...... I quit. β
Mei Tingzhu looked at Mei Tingyu, "What about you?" β
Mei Tingjun and Mei Tingzhu's martial arts are on par, a lot higher than those of their peers, Mei Tingjun is naturally not an opponent, but she doesn't want to lose the opportunity to enter the dark study.
"It's all Mei Fourteen!" Mei Tingyu's eyes were red, she stomped her feet and turned around to stand beside Mei Tingchun, and gave up. But she was unwilling. "If it weren't for Mei Fourteen taking those two maps, we would have been able to pass!"
A bunch of rice buckets!
Mei Tingyu's words made An Jiu have to give such an evaluation in his heart. The map that the four of them got was put together, and it was easy to tell that the map in her hand was the southernmost part, and in this case, she could find it even if she went from grave to grave in two hours!
In fact, this is An Jiu wronged them, and Mei Tingzhu also thought of this. But there are no directional signs, and it's easy to get lost without special training in direction.
"Big brother, offended!" With the voice of speaking, a long whip was thrown out of Mei Ting's bamboo sleeve and rolled straight around Mei Tingjun's neck.
The strong wind hit, and Mei Tingjun didn't dare to be direct. The figure untied the soft sword at his waist in a slight moment, and a sword flower danced out of his hand like a spirit snake to fight back.
The whip reached the mound opposite, and with a snap, it brought up the withered grass all over the sky, and the soil on the grave rose and fell on the withered grass like rain, and Anjiu was ten zhang away from it.
It is impossible for an ordinary whip to have this kind of force, and it must be related to the so-called internal force. She grew more and more excited.
said that Mei Tingjun's sword was forced three inches in front of Mei Tingzhu. She was sideways to avoid it, and at the same time, the long whip in her hand attacked again with overwhelming momentum.
Mei Tingzhu usually speaks little. It looks soft, but a soft whip allows her to use the sharpness of her long sword.
Mei Tingyu clenched her hands tightly and moved her steps restlessly. Mei Tingzhu usually never uses weapons, but at this time, he actually shot a long whip, which shows that he is bound to get the dagger.
"The time is almost up." Mei Tingchun also frowned, and looked back at the grave with a wooden sign, like the other graves, it was also overgrown with wild grass, and I didn't know where the dagger was.
"yes!" There is no moon and no timekeeping tools, Mei Tingyu just estimates the time.
The withered grass was constantly swept up by the bamboo whip wind in the plum pavilion, fluttering and sprinkling from above,
Mei Tingchun saw that the two people were indistinguishable from each other, and they couldn't distinguish their bodies in the dark night, so he said, "Let's find the dagger first, otherwise they won't be qualified when they divide the winner." β
Mei Tingyu glanced at him suspiciously.
"What kind of eyes are you! I can't even beat you, I won't run first with a dagger! Mei Tingchun said angrily, "All three of you brothers and sisters are here, but none of them have passed, aren't you afraid of other people's jokes when you go back!" β
Mei Tingyu also made sense when she heard it, "Okay." β
As they spoke, they began to search the grave carefully.
How big a grave bag can be, even if it is touched inch by inch, it won't take long, and the two of them carefully searched both sides, but they found nothing.
"What's going on?" Mei Tingchun said, "Do you want to dig up the grave?" β
Mei Tingyu said, "It's unlikely, the mass grave is so big, it will take us a long time to find the mark, and we don't have the tools at hand, and we can't dig the grave in the morning." The old lady should not arrange such an unreasonable task. β
"Look for it again." Mei Tingchun continued to grope around.
Mei Tingyu muttered while touching carefully from top to bottom, and when she got to the bottom, Mei Tingyu found that her left foot felt soft when she landed, unlike other places, she was happy in her heart, hesitated, did not call Mei Tingchun, and bent over to touch it herself.
Pushing aside the grass and the layer of floating soil above, Mei Tingyu touched a cold and soft thing.
Her hair stood on end, but she couldn't help but explore carefully out of curiosity.
Suddenly, the thing moved violently, grabbed her wrist and pulled it in, and the whole earth on the grave was moving.
Mei Tingyu was so frightened that she forgot to call for help for a while, and when she reacted, half of her arm had already been pulled in.
"Fifth brother! Fifth brother! Save me! Mei Tingyu's voice was out of tune, sharp and poignant piercing the silent night sky.
Mei Tingchun jumped up, ran over to see the situation clearly, and immediately grabbed her arm and dragged it up.
"It hurts!" Mei Tingyu cried, "My arm is going to break!" β
Mei Tingchun was only a teenager and a half-year-old, and he panicked at the moment, and hurriedly shouted, "Second brother and third sister, stop fighting, come and save the seventh sister!" β
Mei Tingzhu and Mei Tingjun heard the call for help, looked at each other, and saw the imperative in each other's eyes, not only did they not stop, but even used a killing move.
From An Jiu's point of view, she couldn't see any danger on Mei Tingjun's side, and she was not interested in it at all, she only looked forward to Mei Tingjun and the two continuing to fight.
The two of them really didn't disappoint her, one move was more powerful than the other, and the movements were fast, but they could see clearly with An Jiu's eyes. While watching, she tried to breathe luck with the method taught by Mei Yanran, and after a while, she faintly felt that a little warmth was accumulating in the dantian.
Internal strength is something that An Jiu needs to improve even more, she simply stopped watching the two fight viciously, and focused on luck.
The sound of fighting in her ears, Mei Tingyu's crying, couldn't move her mind in the slightest, she could feel more and more qi gathered in the dantian, if it felt only the size of a sesame seed just now, now it was at least the size of a soybean.
An Jiu focused on gathering qi, and the acuity of the six senses decreased, and when she channeled this hot current to slowly swim in the meridians, she noticed that there was a breathing sound in the very close place around her!
She stabilized her mind and discerned that the breath was about ten times per minute, even and gentle, and kept in one place, which should not be unfavorable to her for the time being, so she slowly channeled the heat flow throughout the meridians, and after feeling light and comfortable, she opened her eyes and looked at the breathing place.
The man squatted beside her, a long cut in the chest of a royal blue robe, a handsome face like an ancient moon, his face was full of excitement, staring at her with starry eyes, "Woman......"
An Jiu reached out to cover his mouth, glared at him coldly, and threatened him not to speak.
The heat sprayed on her palms, and the itching sensation spread from her arms to her whole body.
The young man understood what she meant, and nodded immediately.
An Jiu let go of his hand and stared at him with a strange expression.
The young man touched his mouth and said in his heart, there is nothing!
An Jiu glanced over and saw that they were still busy, so he grabbed the young man by the collar and dragged him away.
Walking out of Baizhang, An Jiu threw him to the ground, "Get out." β
The young man moved his lips and wanted to say something, but An Jiu interrupted him, "I'll count one, two, three, and if you don't leave, I'll kill you." β
Before he could finish speaking, the dagger was already on his neck.
The young man didn't see when she took out the dagger at all, and concluded that he had met a martial arts master practicing here, "Woman, I'm lost." β
"One."
"Our family is a big family in Bianjing, if you send me out, I will be rewarded."
The imperial court's disaster relief is only 10,000 taels of silver, and as soon as he opens his mouth, it is 10,000 taels of gold, if ordinary people must understand that their family is not an ordinary big family, but he is now meeting a person who has no concept of money at all.
Anjiu used to have a huge fortune, but she ate the simplest food provided by the organization every day, and she never needed to buy anything," two. β
The young man glared and said imposingly, "My surname is Hua!" β
The strength of An Jiu's hand increased suddenly, and the young man was so frightened that he hurriedly retreated, but blood still gushed from his neck.
Anjiu turned to leave.
"Woman help, if you don't care about me, I will die!" The young man covered his neck, his face turned pale, and followed cautiously.
She stopped, turned her head and looked at him coldly, "If you want to die now, just follow." β
The young man stood in place and watched her resolutely leave, and when he couldn't see the figure, he pulled down his face and said angrily, "Demon girl." β
Syllable!
A stone the size of a baby's fist struck him in the head with precision, and a large bag bulged out in an instant, as smooth as jade.
The young man covered his forehead with one hand and his neck with the other, not daring to speak again, his dark eyes staring at the direction in which An Jiu had left.
He remembered that the girl's upper was embroidered with a plum blossom, and his eyes were slightly bright.
He has seen a lot of beauties who claim to be alluring to the country and the city, but none of them are as good as the girl in Fangcai, her complexion is too glamorous and too plain, her neck is slender, her posture is graceful, her appearance is unbelievable, and even her murderous spirit is unique. The most remarkable thing is that her eyes are extremely clean, and there is nothing but murderous energy.
The young man pondered for a moment, then ran east with his neck clutchedβhe would really die if he didn't bandage it any longer! (To be continued......)
