Chapter Sixty-Seven: Dead Ashes
I don't know if it was because of the Gu worm or the cold poison, Qi Niang felt cold to the bone, pain into the bone marrow, her lips were purple, and her eyelashes were covered with a layer of white mist.
Bian Che walked towards the two twin flowers, and the secret guard behind him immediately stopped: "The landlord must not listen to her alone, this is probably a trap laid by her, the flower is highly poisonous, the landlord, your internal injuries have not healed, you must not risk yourself!" ”
Ye Shiyi laughed, "Yes, this is the trap I laid out, but if you don't get into the tiger's den, the landlord can of course choose not to save them." ”
Bian Che's heart was crossed, and he stepped forward without hesitation.
"Heng!"
Hearing Bai Yuying's exclamation, Bian Che's footsteps paused, and then quickly plucked the white flower, only to feel a cold breath spread quickly to his whole body along his fingertips, and his arm was instantly frozen by ice.
Even though she already knew this ending, when Qi Niang saw Bian Che picking the white flower that detoxified the fire without hesitation, her heart suddenly hurt. She told herself that this heart-piercing pain was only because she was confused by the Gu worm. Anyway, she won't live long, so it's okay to exchange her life for Bai Yuying's life. It's just that why this pain is getting more and more intense, making her suffer in every way, mixed with surging resentment, always reminding her that she is unwilling to die like this. She glanced up at Bian Che, Bian Che's face was not unusual, his eyes were fixed on Ye Shiyi, he was using internal force to drive away the cold in his body. Fang clearly heard Bai Yuying call him "Heng", it turned out that Bian Che was the man who took away her precious things.
Ye Shiyi's laughter was sharp and piercing, echoing all around.
Bian Che interrupted her fiercely: "Let Yu'er go for me!" ”
"You have been poisoned by the cold, and you won't live long, so I will release your beloved woman according to the agreement." After speaking, Ye Shiyi reached out and pulled the rope on Bai Yuying's body, and suddenly, Bai Yuying fell straight down. Bian Che was startled, and hurriedly flew up to hug Bai Yuying, and at the same time pulled the rope with the weight of his body to prevent the other end from sinking.
Ye Shiyi chuckled, his feet left the spot, and the unbalanced Hengmu immediately fell down, Bian Che hurriedly reached out and pulled the end of the rope violently, and then jumped to the position where Ye Shiyi was standing, so that Hengmu rebalanced. Bian Che was holding Bai Yuying in one hand, and he was also pulling the rope, bearing the weight of Hengmu and Qi Niang, his hand was purple, and the green tendons were all visible, but the other hand was about to fight with Ye Shiyi, and after a while, fine beads of sweat appeared on his forehead.
On the other side, some Heavenly Xuan Sect disciples suddenly appeared in the cave, and the secret guards were also fighting with them.
Ye Shiyi looked at the man in front of him in horror, obviously he was injured internally, and he was cold and poisonous, and he couldn't move under his feet, and he only relied on one hand to compete with her, but he didn't lose the wind at all. How terrible is his martial arts? She thought that she couldn't go on like this with him, so she hurriedly withdrew her trick and fled the cave, but activated a mechanism before escaping.
Suddenly, the ground cracked and the mountains shook. Bian Che looked at Qi Niang behind him, then changed to his other hand, and pulled the rope almost with all his strength before turning the horizontal log half a circle, letting Qi Niang hang over the land, and then flew forward, trying to save her.
"Be careful, landlord!" I only heard Ye Jiu's voice suddenly come from outside the cave.
I saw a boulder fall on top of Bian Che's head, he turned a somersault in the air, and the boulder hit the crossbar that bound Qi Niang, and the cross wood broke instantly, and Qi Niang fell to the collapsed ground, life and death are unknown. Bian Che hurriedly ran towards her, but the boulder kept falling, isolating him from Qi Niang, and then he was hit from behind by a falling rock.
A powerful arm took Bian Che away from the dangerous place, and Ye Jiu shouted at him: "Landlord, you are injured, I will take you out of here first, and I will come to save Qi Niang later!" With that, he took him out along with Bai Yuying.
Escaping from the landslide, several of the hurried guards fell to their knees.
"It's too late, please atone for the landlord!"
Bian Che covered his heart and coughed out a mouthful of thick blood with a cold breath, and the blood quickly formed a thin layer of ice on the ground. He was furious, "Take Yu'er back to detoxify!" Fast! What about Ye Jiu?! ”
"Go back to the landlord, the deputy landlord has already turned back to save Qi Niang."
Bian Che bent down in pain, and said in a hoarse voice: "Qi Niang......"
Surrounded by the sound of falling rocks from the collapse of the mountain, the light at the entrance of the cave gradually disappeared, and the endless darkness seemed to be coming, Qi Niang slowly closed her eyes, ready to sink into the eternal long sleep, but heard a bang, and a falling stone that was about to block the entrance of the cave was split in half. At the entrance of the cave stood a man with a long knife in his hand, and with the sound of the hunting wind, a cyan figure passed through the obstacles like a gale, his posture was agile, and a light breeze was on the tip of his toes, and his eager eyes seemed to search for something. In the end, he landed beside Qi Niang and picked her up in a panic.
Qi Niang couldn't see his face clearly, and only vaguely smelled the special medicinal fragrance on his body.
Walking to a carriage in the Strange Flower Valley, Jiang Qihan's face was slightly pale, his brows were tangled, and his originally warm face was full of coldness at this time. He motionless looked at the woman lying on his lap wrapped in a blanket.
Fu Xin turned around and said, "Pavilion Master, you are not in good health, you just used light power, is it really okay?" ”
"It's okay, run faster, Xiao Qi, she can't hold it anymore." As soon as the words came out, Jiang Qihan found that his lips were trembling, because of anger and distress. Compared with Qi Niang, who had both internal and external injuries on his hands and feet, and was dying of cold poison in his body, his own pain was not worth mentioning at all.
Qi Niang opened her eyes slightly, trembling her lips and said angrily: "I'm cold ......"
Jiang Qihan wrapped the blanket on Qi Niang's body tightly, hugged her in his arms, and used his body temperature to warm her, he comforted her softly: "It's almost here, Xiao Qi, bear with me, I will cure you." His tone was full of distress, and he didn't dare to use his hands for fear of touching her wounds.
"Hmm......" Xu is Jiang Qihan's embrace was too reassuring, Qi Niang leaned on his chest and replied in a low voice.
Maybe it's because of a serious injury, maybe it's because of frustration, Qi Niang's loneliness and arrogance have long since disappeared, and all that is left is baby-like fragility.
Jiang Qihan was extremely guilty, why didn't he find Ye Shiyi earlier, if it had been earlier, she would not have suffered these things. For the first time, he hated his decision to let Ye Shiyi take revenge on Bian Che. Because of his cold eyes, he secretly pushed and involved the innocent Qi Niang. If Qi Niang dies because of him, he will definitely hate himself for the rest of his life.
He bit his lower lip so hard that a trace of blood spilled from his bloodless lips.
A few days later.
"Landlord, Ye Shiyi has been arrested and killed himself on the spot." Ye Jiu reported to Bian Che who was sitting on the bed.
"What about Qi Niang, did Qi Niang find it?" Bian Che's lips were blue, and he forcibly suppressed the cold qi in his body, staring at the person in front of him tightly, hoping to hear good news from his mouth.
However, Ye Jiu's eyes were gloomy, "I haven't found it yet." ”
"Keep looking for me! Even if you turn the whole mountain over, you have to find it for me......" Bian Che was excited, coughed violently a few times, and his heart began to throb again.
Yu Mingchen hurriedly helped him with his luck, and said anxiously: "Landlord, don't be angry, take care of your body." ”
The sound of the flute fluttering far away came from afar, and I only heard the fragrance of birds and flowers, and I didn't know where I was. The sunlight poured in through the windowsill, clean and warm, but Qi Niang felt empty in her heart, not knowing where she came from and where she was going.
"Girl, are you awake, do you want something to eat?" A gentle and lovely maid said to herself.
"I'm not hungry." Qi Niang shook her head.
"The girl hasn't eaten all the time, how is this good? The pavilion master has explained, no matter what, you have to eat some, otherwise how can the injury heal quickly? The maidservant said anxiously.
Qi Niang looked at her for a while and said, "But I'm really not hungry." ”
"Eat even if you're not hungry." A voice as warm as jade sounded outside the door, Jiang Qihan walked into the room with a pot of porridge and said to the maidservant, "You go down first." ”
Jiang Qihan sat on the edge of the bed and said softly, "Didn't you promise me to let me heal you?" Why don't you eat? ”
"I don't have much appetite......"
Jiang Qihan sighed, "This is not good, the people take food as the sky, you only eat one meal a day, how can your body stand it." I know you don't have a good appetite, so I put some hawthorn and red dates in the porridge to increase your appetite. Jiang Qihan said, filled a bowl of porridge, scooped a spoonful, blew it on the side of his mouth, and handed it to Qi Niang's mouth.
Qi Niang looked at him in surprise.
Jiang Qihan smiled slightly, "It's good that you have other expressions." If you don't eat it yourself, then I can only feed you. In short, you must eat this bowl of porridge. There was a bit of a pungent taste in his tone, and it seemed that he would not leave easily without waiting for Qi Niang to eat.
Qi Niang reluctantly took the bowl and spoon in his hand.
"Be careful." Jiang Qihan looked at Qi Niang gently.
Jiang Qihan silently watched her finish eating a bowl, and then smiled: "Do you want more?" ”
Qi Niang shook her head, "I'm full." ”
"Your cold poison has not been completely cleared, your body is very weak, in addition to eating regularly every day, I will slowly adjust and detoxify you until your internal injuries heal. Also, if your pulse is unstable, don't get angry, and keep your mind calm. Jiang Qihan patiently advised.
"Well, thank you."
"Xiao Qi doesn't have to be so polite to me."
"Pavilion Master Jiang has saved my life for the second time, and I should thank you."
Jiang Qihan sighed lightly, "If you can, I don't want me to save you, if Xiao Qi is safe, why don't you use me to save you?" Xiao Qi, don't take risks alone in the future. ”
Qi Niang was silent for a long time before she said, "Pavilion Master Jiang, can I bother you with one thing?" ”
"Xiao Qi, but it doesn't hurt to say it."
"I want you to carry a letter for me, I'm afraid...... I'm afraid my friend will be worried. ”
Jiang Qihan's eyebrows twisted slightly, and asked, "Are you afraid that Bian Che will be worried?" ”
Qi Niang hurriedly denied it, "It's not him, it's my friends, Ye Sixteen and Ye Jiu." ”
Jiang Qihan's brows relaxed slightly, he smiled, and said, "Okay, I'll bring them a message for you and let them know that you're all right." I can't tell them where you are, though, is that okay? After all, you're not healed, and I can't let you go. ”
"Okay." Qi Niang replied lightly.
Jiang Qihan's face seemed to be a little strange, he helped Qi Niang twist the corners of the quilt, and then admonished: "Have a good rest, I'll come back later." With that, he went out with his plate.
Fu Xin waited outside the door and hurriedly said, "Pavilion Master, I'll come." ”
Jiang Qihan put the plate in his hand, his expression was gloomy, and he said as he walked: "Xiao Qi's injury in Qihua Valley, don't let anyone know, just let Bian Che and them find it slowly." ”
"Yes, Pavilion Master. The day before yesterday, Ye Shiyi had been found by Ye Jiu and killed himself. ”
A cold light flashed in Jiang Qi's cold eyes, "It's cheap." ”
"The pavilion master deliberately revealed Ye Jiu's whereabouts to Ye Jiu, did he want to avenge the little seventh girl?"
"Xiao Qi was injured like this by them, and it was not Ye Shiyi alone. The Gu in Xiao Qi's body should be under the hands of Miao Jiang, who is familiar with Gu techniques, and in addition, Ye Shiyi suddenly broke out of our control, and someone should have made a hindrance from it. I still miscalculated. ”
"Pavilion master, don't blame yourself anymore, fortunately, the little seventh girl has been rescued, and the pavilion master has also spent a lot of effort, does the pavilion master's body really matter?" Fu Xin said worriedly.
"It's just a little bit of blood, it's okay."
