Chapter 129: Recovery
"You...... Are you awake? β
When Zhang Huang slowly opened his eyes again, a gentle female voice immediately came from beside him.
"Ah...... Not. β
Zhang Huang replied lightly, and looked at the owner of the voice, a woman with impeccable appearance, morality, and cultivation, and also a woman he secretly admired, Cai Yan.
[Huh?] This perspective ......]
Stunned, Zhang Huang realized that he was lying on the ground with Cai Yan's legs on his back, and the gentle and gentle feeling on the back of his head made him feel a stirring in his heart.
It seemed that Cai Yan had also noticed the abnormality of Zhang Huang's expression, her face, which could clearly see infinite joy, was suddenly covered with red glow, and when Zhang Huang's gaze inadvertently touched her, she blushed slightly and opened her cheeks.
The two maintained this intimate posture and no one moved, until finally Zhang Huang finally couldn't bear the embarrassment and awkwardness, pretended to be casual and straightened up, and diverted the topic.
"You...... Are you okay? β
Hearing Zhang Huang speak first, Cai Yan's pounding heart calmed down slightly, thinking that she was also thinking about how to open her mouth at this time. It is undeniable that Zhang Huang took the lead in opening his mouth, which can be said to have saved Cai Yan's life, otherwise, she really didn't know how to deal with the embarrassment between the two at this time.
"The ...... of the slave family who is out of the way"
She shook her head, but when her eyes touched Zhang Huang's eyes, her face was still inevitably flushed, making Zhang Huang, who knew that he could no longer look directly at Cai Yan at this time, was reluctant to turn his eyes away.
However, seeing that Cai Yan, whose face was flushed, gradually wanted to bury his head in his chest, Zhang Huang could only divert his gaze even if he was reluctant. It was then that he noticed the large scorched earth around them.
"It's ......"
It is undeniable that even Zhang Huang himself was shocked, because he found that the vegetation of the entire mountain was charred with snow, and as for those Taihang Mountain strongmen who almost called Zhang Huang to capsize in the gutter, they have long since disappeared.
"You...... Don't remember? Cai Yan looked at Zhang Huang and asked cautiously.
When she asked this, she couldn't help but recall the scene that shook her heart at that time. Even if it's an afterthought. She was still shocked by the powerful power that Zhang Huang displayed at that time, and that power even subverted her previous understanding of the whole world.
"I ......" Zhang Huang looked at Cai Yan a little blankly, and immediately, the memory of that scene gradually appeared in his mind, and he was surprised to find that the reason for this qiΔ was actually him.
In the past, if Zhang Huang had found out that he had such a strong strength, he would probably feel extremely excited. But at the moment, he couldn't be happy, because he had just killed more than two hundred people in front of Cai Yan, the woman he admired.
Zhang Huang's gaze involuntarily fell on the cloth clothes on his body that were soaked in red blood, and he knew that there was not only his blood on it, but more than the blood of the more than 200 Taihang Mountain strongmen.
[β¦β¦]
Silently looking at the blood stains on his clothes, Zhang Huang let out a long breath and said in a low voice. "Let's go, this place is not suitable for long."
Cai Yan was very surprised that she heard an inexplicable loss from Zhang Huang's words, but she was smart and understood that this was not the best time to ask, so she carefully helped Zhang Huang up. said gently, "Then you slow down, the slave family will help you ......"
In fact, even if Cai Yan reminded him, Zhang Huang didn't dare to move excessively. After all, the pain of the entire chest being pierced by a sharp blade was not something ordinary people could bear, let alone that the sharp blade was still inserted in Zhang Huang's body at the moment.
"No...... Don't you pull it out? The surprised Cai Yan looked at Zhang Huang with an unbearable expression. For some reason, seeing Zhang Huang's frowning painful appearance, she couldn't help but feel a tightening in her heart, and she was depressed and uncomfortable.
Zhang Huang glanced at Cai Yan when he heard this, and seeing this, Cai Yan hurriedly explained, "The slave family originally wanted to pull it out for you, but ...... First, the slave family is not strong enough, and second, the slave family does not dare to ......" The dare in her mouth is mostly because she doesn't dare to imagine the scene of blood bursting from Zhang Huang's body when the blade is pulled out, after all, it is definitely the most difficult challenge for a weak female streamer who has never seen blood.
Seeing the panic and apology on Cai Yan's face that he had misunderstood, Zhang Huang realized that she had misunderstood, so he said half-jokingly, "Fortunately, you didn't pull it out, otherwise if you pull it out, you will splash blood and not say anything, I'm afraid I will die." β
Although Zhang Huang's words were a little joking, Cai Yan couldn't laugh at all, and looked at him nervously.
Seeing this, Zhang Huang smiled slightly, "Don't worry, I can't die yet." β¦β¦ The world still needs me. His last sentence was undoubtedly a self-deprecation for the 5th Gong Yuan for revealing to him the 36,000 times of the cause of death.
It's a pity that Cai Yan couldn't understand the deep meaning of Zhang Huang's words, and still asked nervously, "That's ...... What about you...... How good is that? β
"There's no need to rush." Enduring the pain of the sharp blade piercing his chest, Zhang Huang said calmly, "Let's get out of here first." β¦β¦ Find a safer place to hide, and I'll have my own way of healing. β
He didn't say anything, after all, after learning the living talisman from Tang Zhou, the external injury was not incurable for Zhang Huang, and when Zhang Huang found a place to live, draw a living talisman and swallow it, not to mention that the injuries on his body could be healed immediately, at least the wounds could be healed in a short time.
This is the power of Taoism!
No, to be precise, this should be the power of demi-immortalism. After all, a Taoist technique like a living talisman that can live the dead and flesh and bones, a certain kind of Cheng dΓΉ can already be regarded as changing one's life against the sky, which is no longer considered to be the category of Taoism, but should be called a half-immortal technique.
Seeing that Zhang Huang swore by it, Cai Yan slightly suppressed the panic in his heart, and carefully helped him gradually move away from this scorched mountain. She was smart and naturally understood that the reason why Zhang Huang wanted to leave immediately was nothing more than the fear of extraneous branches, after all, Zhang Huang at the moment no longer had the strength to protect, and he might not even be able to protect himself.
During the period of helping Zhang Huang to leave this Taihang Mountain step by step, Cai Yan was surprised to find that the mountain that had been charred by Zhang Huang's supernatural power was almost the size of a radius of several miles. As far as the eye could see, there was a land of carbon ash within a radius of several miles, and there was no grass, which made her feel a little uneasy and frightened about the supernatural power that Zhang Huang displayed at that time. She hadn't thought about it at all. One man can inflict such horrific lethality.
The process of leaving this land of right and wrong on foot was simply a kind of torture for Zhang Huang, who still had the sharp blade in his chest. With every step, he could feel the pain in his chest as if a blade was scraping a bone and tearing a muscle, and the pain made him clench his teeth unconsciously, and the cold sweat on his head kept gushing out and dripping like slurry, which made Cai Yan, who was silently watching in his eyes, feel an inexplicable heartache.
After walking for almost an hour, Zhang Huang and Cai Yan finally came to a dense forest, and they were lucky. They found a natural leeward spot formed by a few broken trees.
At this time, Zhang Huang had already been tortured by the sharp pain that seemed to be painful to the bone marrow on the way, the ground was pale and haggard, and even after Cai Yan helped Zhang Huang to sit down against the broken tree, Zhang Huang's legs had gradually lost sensation, and even his hands trembled incessantly.
It's also thanks to Zhang Huang, who is born with a lot of vitality in his body, if he were to be someone else, I am afraid that he would die soon after being pierced through his body by a sharp blade. Not to mention that like Zhang Huang, with Cai Yan's support, he can still walk on foot for almost an hour.
But even so, this is already the limit for Zhang Huang. Don't look at him panting, but in fact, his chest is pressed by the sharp blade. He can't regulate his breath well, otherwise, this trek alone will never make Zhang Huang tired to this kind of journey.
"What's next?" After helping Zhang Huang to sit down. Cai Yan asked anxiously.
Hearing this, Zhang Huang glanced at Cai Yan silently, and suddenly said in an inexplicable tone. "If you want to escape, now is the best chance......
At that time, Cai Yan saw that Zhang Huang's hands were cold, and she was constantly rubbing Zhang Huang's palms and backs with her little hands, trying to use this kind of physical friction to make Zhang Huang's hands warm again, and after hearing that sentence, she was stunned, and even her little hands that kept rubbing Zhang Huang's hands stopped unconsciously. Just held Zhang Huang's hands, lowered his head and said nothing.
After a long time, she asked faintly, "You...... What does this mean? β
Zhang Huang pulled his cold hands out of Cai Yan's hands, barely supported his body, let his body change into a more comfortable position, and then said with a sigh, "You go." β¦β¦ The carriage is tied to the place where you and I slept yesterday, and after you return the same way, you can follow the official road to the southeast, and you can reach the next county seat, that is, Xiuwu County. There is still some spare money in the car, after you arrive in Xiuwu County, find an inn to live in, and ask someone to send a letter to Heyang...... You're free. After saying this, Zhang Huang felt a slight sense of relief, after all, he had been struggling with whether to let Cai Yan go back these days. And between the two, the idea of letting Cai Yan always accompany him always prevailed, so Zhang Huang more or less restricted Cai Yan's freedom.
But unfortunately, even though the distance from Heyang is increasing day by day, Cai Yan's desire to escape back to Heyang has never declined. Even this mind is getting stronger day by day, and Cai Yan, who escaped from him, has learned to use stratagems, just like last night.
Zhang Huang is not stupid, before and after summing up, he naturally understands the connection between yesterday's pot of wine and Cai Yan's escape later.
The twisted melon is not sweet, although Zhang Huang once wanted to try to drag Cai Yan by his side as much as possible, but now, he suddenly felt a little tired.
"You...... Are you driving me away? β
Cai Yan's voice was trembling, her hands were trembling, and even her heart was trembling.
She never thought that Zhang Huang, who rescued her from the Taihang Mountain Gang like a hero who saved the beauty, would drive her away in the blink of an eye.
Zhang Huang didn't speak, but again, he didn't say anything to save him.
[So cunning......]
Cai Yan's eyes were suddenly covered with a layer of mist, and he stood up and looked at the seriously injured man in front of him hatefully, and even his shoulders trembled with anger.
In all fairness, when Zhang Huang kidnapped her from Heyang and sternly threatened her not to escape, Cai Yan wanted to kill Zhang Huang and flee back to Heyang and Hedong Wei's house, but when she was moved by Zhang Huang's love to save her rather than sacrifice himself, she secretly swore that she would not hesitate to abandon the name Cai Yan and want to be with this man at the expense of the Cai family's reputation, but the other party drove her away.
This made Cai Yan feel so aggrieved.
Obviously, this qiΔ was not her fault, it was Zhang Huang who took her away without taking her away, why did that cunning and ruthless guy want to drive her away when she finally changed her mind and wanted to stay?
Why didn't she have the right to choose for herself from beginning to end?!
However, Cai Yan also understands that what she did yesterday may have hurt Zhang Huang's trust in her. Against this. Cai Yan could not defend himself.
"Well, I'm leaving......"
After half a silence, Cai Yan said quietly.
"Hmm." Zhang Huang nodded.
Glancing deeply at Zhang Huang, Cai Yan turned around and left.
And just when Zhang Huang didn't even have time to feel regret and loss for the imminent loss of Cai Yan, suddenly a pair of gentle arms gently grabbed his neck from behind, making him involuntarily tense all over.
"The slave family is back......"
A faint voice was a little naughty, and it sounded softly in Zhang Huang's ears.
"You ......" Zhang Hua turned his head and looked at Cai Yan in surprise, but saw Cai Yan looking at him gently, and said softly. When you forcibly abducted the slave family, the slave family wanted to escape; Now you want to drive the slave away, and the slave wants to stay...... This is the slave's choice. As she spoke, she gradually tightened her arms and gently wrapped her arms around Zhang Huang's neck, and even her slightly flushed face touched Zhang Huang's face from time to time.
It is undeniable that Cai Yan at this moment has added a little beauty because of that shyness, but it is a pity that she has her head down. Otherwise, Zhang Huang would probably really be stunned.
But then again, even this was enough to make Zhang Huang stunned, he never thought that Cai Yan would choose to stay under such a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.
Could it be that Cai Yan, who was bitten by a snake for ten years and was afraid of the well rope, finally realized the darkness of the world. Don't dare to leave him again?
After thinking carefully about Cai Yan's soft and rigid personality, Zhang Huang immediately removed this idea.
[Why is that?] ]
Zhang Huang tilted his head and pondered.
And behind him, Cai Yan, who was holding his neck, had almost his entire body attached to his back. Although Cai Yan was indeed shy and nervous at first, gradually. She slowly got used to it, and even rubbed her cheek against Zhang Huang's face affectionately.
So far. Cai Yan was finally able to understand the meaning of her sister Cai Wan's words of liking and disliking at that time, and she couldn't help but savor the inexplicable throbbing pain that rose from the bottom of her heart when she decided to leave Zhang Huang and return to Heyang like this.
[May we be by our side day and night, and always by our side...... It's probably what my sister likes, right? ]
The corners of Cai Yan's mouth raised a sweet smile.
As soon as Zhang Huan turned his head and happened to see this scene, he couldn't help but feel a strange feeling in his heart, as if that smile drove away the cold he received after he could no longer exert his rigid body, and it was very warm.
But just when he opened his mouth and was about to say something that had been hidden in his heart for a long time, he suddenly felt a sweetness in his throat, and immediately, a mouthful of blood spurted out of his mouth, and Cai Yan, who seemed to have just experienced the taste of male and female love, suddenly turned pale.
"Zhang Huo!" With an exclamation, Cai Yan realized that she had pressed half of her body on Zhang Huang's seriously injured patient, and she was so frightened that she quickly let go of her arms, came to Zhang Huang and squatted down, and asked him about his physical condition.
"Ahem, ahemβ"
After a series of coughing up blood, Zhang Huang's face unexpectedly showed a little smile, and he said softly, "First of all, my name is not Zhang Huo, my name is Zhang Huang." Secondly...... Can you help me get the rune paper out of that pocket at the back of my waist? If I delay like this, I'm afraid I'll really die. β¦β¦ You don't want me dead either, do you? Obviously, Zhang Huang's tone when he spoke at this time was much more relaxed and cheerful than Fang Cai, and he even made a joke about Cai Yan.
Cai Yan glanced at Zhang Huang with a little shame when she heard this, but she also knew that now was not the time to talk about love, so without saying a word, she followed Zhang Huang's instructions and took out the blank rune paper from the hidden small pocket behind his waist and carefully handed it to Zhang Huang.
It's no wonder, after all, this is a matter of Zhang Huang's life and death, and the life and death of Lang Jun, whom she Cai Yan chose independently.
And the next thing, Cai Yan can't help, after all, she doesn't know anything about drawing talismans, the only thing she can do is to talk to Zhang Huang when he writes talismans with his own blood, because this helps Zhang Huang, whose consciousness is gradually becoming weaker, to concentrate.
"Do these weird strokes, such as horizontal and vertical dots or twists, really help you heal your injuries?" Sitting beside Zhang Huang with his hands on his cheeks, Cai Yan carefully observed the talisman in Zhang Huang's hand and asked puzzledly.
"Horizontal and vertical dots?" may be faintly aware of the change in Cai Yan's attitude towards himself, putting aside the tiredness of willpower, Zhang Huang can be said to be in good spirits, and he can't wait to yell at the sky three times. After hearing Cai Yan's confused question, he explained with some amusement, "This is a 'reply'. β
"Reply?" Cai Yan asked puzzled, "What's that?" Have the slaves heard of the spell? β
"Runic paper and talismans are mediums, and mantras are formulas used to communicate with the demons of heaven and earth, and you can understand it as a praise article to please those demons. Mantras can be roughly divided into four categories, and the most common and commonly used of them is the repetition, which is the circle and dot in your mouth. β
"What about the other three?"
"There are also cloud seals, spirit runes, treasure talismans, and rune maps. β¦β¦ Legend has it that the cloud seal can raise clouds and fog, call for wind and rain, anyway, I can't; Spirit talismans and treasure talismans are generally in the pursuit of good fortune to avoid evil, kill ghosts and detain souls, and I will not either; The last rune diagram, in my understanding, is a large formation, well, I still don't, hahahaha. β
"......" Cai Yan looked helplessly at Zhang Huang, who relieved his embarrassment in a self-deprecating way.
Between the two talking and laughing, Zhang Huang actually shortened most of the time this time to make a living talisman.
Swallowing the living talisman and pulling out the sharp sword that pierced into his chest, the wound on Zhang Huang's chest quickly scarred at a speed visible to the naked eye, this kind of chaotic and unbelievable thing stunned Cai Yan, who specializes in Confucian scholarship.
"Lao Tzu is alive again!"
Zhang Huang, who could clearly feel that the wound was healing rapidly, couldn't help but shout into the air, but Cai Yan, who was beside him, frowned after hearing the phrase 'Lao Tzu'.
Seeing Cai Yan looking at Zhang Huang's back with his arms raised and shouting, some things that she temporarily left behind a few days ago were picked up by her again.
For example, how to gradually remove Zhang Huang's influence from some people, especially Dong Zhuo, so as not to lead him astray.
