Chapter 20: Picking Up Friends
Shangguan Yu squatted down and probed the man's pulse, shook his head and said, "I'm dead, it's been about two days." ”
The corpse was dressed as a traveler, and there was nothing valuable on it, not even a burden, not a money bag, Shangguan Yu couldn't help but wonder: since this person was dressed as a traveler, how could he not be entangled at all when he went out, and his body was too clean. Looking at his death, there were blood stains on his mouth and nose, multiple wounds and bruises on his forehead, and several broken bones in his limbs.
Is it true that he has been robbed of his money? No, there is no way in and out of this place, how can there be bandits entrenched here? And who attacked him?
Leng Gongzi was also a little serious at this time, glanced at Shangguan Yu, and said, "Is there something strange here?"
Shangguan Yu pondered for a moment, looked forward and said, "Let's take a look further, maybe you'll know in a while." ”
As the words fell, the three of them continued to walk forward, and more than a dozen corpses were found one after another along the way, and each one was dressed and died in the same way as the first person. The further you went, the denser the corpses became, and finally the blood trail disappeared before it reached a cave.
Xiao Hanfeng looked at the corpses and large blood stains in front of the cave, and couldn't help but sigh: "It seems that there was a very tragic battle here before. I don't know what is in this cave that can make so many people die so miserably!"
Shangguan Yu glanced at the entrance of the cave and said lightly: "The soil at this entrance is moist and low-lying, which is the environment suitable for the survival of the moon hazy flower. It's just that the situation is now...... Shall we go in?"
He said this to Leng Gongzi.
When Leng Gongzi saw that he deliberately asked himself, he felt that he was despising himself, so he immediately pulled out the soft sword at his waist and said proudly: "Of course I want to enter!
Shangguan Yu originally had the intention of going in, and he just didn't want to be difficult for others, but now that everyone has spoken, he naturally won't delay. Quietly pushed Xiao Hanfeng behind him, and said as he walked: "Then let's go." ”
When the three of them entered the cave, they found that it was a very large cave, and there were many forks in it, and if they were not careful, they would get lost. The cave is dimly lit, and the sound of water droplets can be heard from time to time, which is especially eerie in this extremely quiet environment.
Shangguan Yu listened to the sound of Leng Gongzi's sword blade dragging on the ground rubbing against the ground, his ears were really unbearable, and he said helplessly: "I said can you lift the sword? It's really noisy, I can't listen to the surrounding movements like this." ”
I only heard Leng Gongzi say strongly: "Aren't you very good ear?
I don't know if it's an illusion, Shangguan Yu actually saw that his expression was nervous for a moment, and the hand holding the sword was often uneasily loose and tight.
Shangguan Yu didn't take him seriously, changed the topic, and said casually: "Hey, let's talk about it now, I'll help you find the moon hazy flower, and after you save your people, as a reward, you also give me the antidote, how about it?"
Leng Gongzi has not squinted since he entered the cave, and all his thoughts have been on the guard, and after listening to his words, he finally glanced sideways at him: "What do you mean to help me find the Moon Hazy Flower? Don't you have to use it yourself? Don't say it as if you are helping me, we are clearly a cooperative relationship." ”
Shangguan Yu made persistent efforts and said: "Even if it's a cooperative relationship, I have also contributed, right? Without my strength, you wouldn't be able to get the Moon Hazy Flower." In that case, you also have to rely on me, so why not make a deal between us?"
Who knew that Leng Gongzi smiled calmly, and said nonchalantly: "You can also not contribute, when the time comes, we will die here together, as long as you are not afraid of death, I don't care." ”
Shangguan Yu has always felt that he is the best at mastering others, but who knew that this time he met an opponent! This Leng Gongzi is really the same stubborn temper as him, and he is too arrogant to do everything for this breath! For the first time, he felt that it was such a troublesome thing to meet a person who was very similar to himself.
The topic couldn't go on anymore, and he turned to say, "Do you know Bai Feng?"
Leng Gongzi didn't seem to expect him to suddenly ask this, and after a pause, he said in surprise: "You also know Bai Feng?"
Shangguan Yu said naturally: "The leader of the famous Demon Dao Branch in Cloud City, people like me who are wandering in the four seas have naturally heard of it, what is so strange? It's you, it's a little strange that you know her. ”
Cloud City is a place where good and evil are mixed, and there is no lawlessness, and most of the people who come here on weekdays have vague identities and have no way to investigate, and no one here cares about such a thing as identity, just to be free and do whatever they want. Therefore, Bai Feng's disguised identity that controls Cloud City on weekdays is a person of the Demon Dao, who can not only justifiably oppose the Immortal Dao, but also is not easy to be discovered. Shangguan Yu has been at the core of the power of the Ghost Domain all these years, and he is naturally well aware of these situations.
Leng Gongzi was quite puzzled: "Why?"
Shangguan Yu said: "You know the Xuanmen exercises, and depending on your skills, it should still be passed down from a family with a high status." Such a scholar clan will definitely not pass on his art casually, and the people who teach him either have a background or are deeply trusted by his teachers. Isn't it strange that such a person who is valued by the Xuanmen actually knows the person of the Demon Dao, and still has a foundation in a place like Cloud City, which is full of smoke and miasma?"
When Leng Gongzi heard this, his face suddenly turned pale, and he said clearly: "So you mean, I am a spy arranged by the Demon Dao in the Immortal Dao?"
Shangguan Yu shook his head without thinking about it, and said firmly: "You are not a person from the Demon Dao. ”
Xiao Hanfeng heard that the identity of this Leng Gongzi was suspicious in the back, and the hairs on his back stood on end, and he immediately cheered up him, and said tightly: "How do you know that he is not a person from the Demon Dao? If he is, then wouldn't it be very dangerous for us now?" he glanced at him fiercely, and said cautiously: "Otherwise, let's quickly restrain him now! Whether he is or not, it is better to be safe!"
When Leng Gongzi heard this, he immediately turned around and gave him a vicious eye knife, the eyes were vicious and vicious, and Xiao Hanfeng was scared and trembled, and he didn't dare to say more.
Shangguan Yu said leisurely: "If he is really a person from the Demon Dao, how could he hide from Bai Feng? On the other hand, since he is bent on escaping from Bai Feng's pursuit, it means that he is at least not a person from the Demon Dao." But ......"
Leng Gongzi raised his eyebrows and said, "But what?"
Shangguan Yu said: "However, it doesn't mean that you are an immortal person. ”
Leng Gongzi listened with relish: "So, your final conclusion is ......?"
Shangguan Yu showed a puzzled expression for the first time, and the puzzled look on his face was very real: "I just can't judge your identity so I want to ask you." ”
Leng Gongzi's eyes suddenly became deeper, the smile on the corner of his mouth became more and more weird at some point, and he said in a low voice: "Your analysis is not bad, but my identity, I am afraid you will never know it for the rest of your life." As if he remembered something, he suddenly changed his words: "By the way, with the identity of this kid surnamed Xiao, it is possible to know who I am." As for you, it's just a wandering cultivator, so don't waste your mind on this!"
Xiao Hanfeng was stunned when he heard this, what does it mean that with his identity, he has the opportunity to know who he is. Could it be that he has already penetrated into the family? Only his Xiao family's status can have a chance to come into contact with him, and others will not be able to see him at all? If he said so, Shangguan Yu's identity was only higher than him, wouldn't it be better to find out his details. It's just a pity that this Leng Gongzi still thinks that Shangguan Yu is just an ordinary casual cultivator, but as everyone knows, he has already been tricked by Shangguan Yu!
Just when he was secretly laughing at this cold boy in his heart, he suddenly thought of an extremely serious problem. Since he knows that his identity has been exposed, he will definitely not keep himself!
Just thinking like this, there was a sudden buzzing sound of the sword blade in his ears, and he looked up suddenly, and secretly said in his heart that he would do it so quickly?
Unexpectedly, when he looked up, he saw that Leng Gongzi's sword was not pointed at him, but pierced into the rock walls on both sides. He looked down again, and there was a big hole in the place where Leng Gongzi was standing just now, and he was now hanging in this hole with a soft sword!
Xiao Hanfeng: "What's ......?"
Before they could finish speaking, a violent tremor came, and rubble fell from the rock walls and cave roofs on both sides, and the ground beneath their feet was rapidly collapsing.
The whole hole looks like it's about to collapse!
Xiao Hanfeng fell down before he could react, Shangguan Yu looked tight next to him, and at the last moment, he grabbed a corner of his clothes and was also fallen!
In their panic, they felt as if they had fallen for a long time, and they didn't know how high they had fallen. Shangguan Yu protected Xiao Hanfeng, and while stabilizing the bodies of the two of them, he opened the falling gravel with one hand, seeing that the height was getting higher and higher, and the falling force was already difficult to control. He decisively pulled out the Xuyang on Xiao Hanfeng's waist and thrust it into the rock wall, and the Xuyang was the best in the sword, sharp and hard enough, otherwise I am afraid that it would have been smashed by those gravel long ago!
The two of them finally unloaded some of the strength of the fall under the buffer of the rising sun, but in the end, the rising sun was still smashed by the rubble, and the sword body was shaken open due to the unstable vibration!
Seeing that the situation was not good, Shangguan Yu turned around suddenly, his hand also let go of the sword, and he hugged Xiao Hanfeng tightly, turned himself to the bottom, and made a sturdy human flesh cushion for Xiao Hanfeng.
Even if he was as strong as Shangguan Yu, he couldn't help but snort a few times when he fell from this height. He lay between the rubble and closed his eyes, his face squirming slightly, and finally swallowed back the sound that was about to be spoken.
"I didn't expect you kid to be quite heavy. ”
He complained in a low voice, and sat up holding his waist while pushing Xiao Hanfeng away. didn't deliberately check his sore spots, rubbed his back slightly, and went to see if Xiao Hanfeng was injured as soon as possible.
He lifted Xiao Hanfeng up slightly, and when he saw that his face was covered with ash and his eyes were closed, he was suddenly shocked, patted his face and said, "Han Feng, Han Feng, wake up!"
After screaming a few times and still not responding, he couldn't help frowning, and secretly said: I obviously protected him under me, he shouldn't be smashed.
Just as he was thinking about it, Xiao Hanfeng suddenly moved his throat and coughed.
Shangguan Yu's eyes immediately lit up, helped Xiao Hanfeng up, lowered his head and said with concern: "How are you?"
Xiao Hanfeng coughed and waved his hand, shook his head and said, "I can't die yet." ”
Shangguan Yu saw that he was fine, and immediately breathed a sigh of relief, and said angrily: "I'm scared to death, I thought you were helpless." I'm worried about what I'm going to tell your brother if you're dead. ”
Xiao Hanfeng had long been accustomed to his duplicity, and said firmly: "With you, I won't die." ”
Shangguan Yu glared: "You are confident." As he spoke, he stood up and looked around at his surroundings.
The place where they were was closed and damp, the rock walls and the ground were covered with green moss, and the holes above were blocked by rubble, and even if there were a few vines hanging from the rock walls, they could not go up.
Xiao Hanfeng looked around blankly, and said in disgust: "This time we really can't get out." ”
Shangguan Yu picked up the sunrise on the ground and carefully wiped it with the hem of his clothes: "Yes, see if you have a long memory in the future, and whether you will go to gamble!"
When Xiao Hanfeng heard this, he immediately wilted, and said aggrievedly: "Okay, okay, I won't go to that kind of place again, it's all right, let's find a way to get out first." ”
Shangguan Yu threw the sword to him, turned around and walked deeper: "Let's go find Leng Gongzi first, I don't know where he has landed." ”
Xiao Hanfeng's eyes widened when he heard this: "You still want to find him? Isn't it better if he is separated from us? Find him back, waiting for him to harm us?"
Shangguan Yu shook his head and said, "No matter who he really is, whether he has ill will towards us or not, we must find him, because he is useful to us." ”
Xiao Hanfeng was very dissatisfied with this, and muttered in a low voice: "What use can he have?"
Who knew that Shangguan Yu heard his words clearly, and then said: "Don't say it, he is much more useful than you, and you will know when the time comes." After speaking, he completely ignored the embarrassed expression on his face, grabbed his arm with one hand, and urged: "Don't think so much useless, let's go." ”
Xiao Hanfeng was caught by him and walked in the dark cave, and after looking for nearly an hour, he didn't find the shadow of Leng Gongzi, but found a lot of snakes, insects, rats and ants, and couldn't help but become more and more irritable.
Could this Leng Gongzi be eaten by these poisons when he fell into a coma? Even if he couldn't have been eaten so quickly, he still couldn't survive if he was bitten by these insects! Thinking of this, he couldn't help but shudder, and he was really a little worried about Leng Gongzi.
Just as their hopes were gradually being worn away, they suddenly heard the sound of swords colliding from the other side of the wall, and at the same time there was a familiar cold voice: "You madman!
