Chapter 546: A Little Red in the East
After entering the second-order Jupiter corpse position, Xun Mengqi found an excuse to part ways with the Praetorian Guard sergeant who was traveling with him, and he didn't rush to break into the formation, but just found a safe position and quietly waited for Xiao Shuguan's arrival.
Xun Mengqi is not a fool, he knows the consequences of rushing into the battle, and the reason why he was willing to break into the battle first before was to catch the person who harmed her for Wan Linglong and confirm his guess; The second is to ambush the position first, and when Uncle Xiao breaks through the formation, he will make a sneak attack, avenge the master and recapture the Black Wood Cliff!
It's a pity that he was stopped by the sea of flowers, and he couldn't go with the vulture, so there was no way to confirm the guess that "the vulture is the murderer". However, the advantage of leaving late is that the sea of mercy has roughly explained the positive star position of the second-order Jupiter's corpse position, which has made him take many detours and many fewer dangers.
It's just that after lying in ambush for a long time, I observed in the dark that batch after batch of intruders stepped on the wrong star position, and were suffocated by the entanglement of ten thousand trees. Some of these people are reckless, some are Praetorian Guards, and none of them have escaped this catastrophe because of any status, unless they do not come to the battle.
Such an aimless rambling was no different from Zhao Tuo's previous methods of breaking into the formation, but it only increased the casualties and made dozens of more corpses in the corpse halls everywhere.
Xun Mengqi looked at the magnificent scene like dumplings in the distance, and a very profound question came to mind: should we praise the spirit of moths fighting fires, or abandon the behavior of moths fighting fires?
This is a philosophical question, and it can also reflect from the side that Xun Mengqi is indeed too boring.
This boredom lasted for a long time, and I didn't see Uncle Xiao break through. What Xun Mengqi didn't expect was that there were many false stars in Jupiter's corpse position, Xiao Shuguan might be staying in which fake star position or corpse hall, or maybe he would die of bad luck?
He didn't wait for Uncle Xiao to pass, and he didn't see the vulture, but someone found him, and that was his uncle Xun Yunan.
Although one is in the rivers and lakes, and the other is serving in the court, the blood relationship cannot be erased. The two communicated with each other, Xun Mengqi decided to return to find Wan Linglong and them first, they didn't know the correct route of the second order, in case they were next to the organ star position, wouldn't it be a waste of sacrifice?
Xun Yunan saw that he was about to leave, hesitated for a while, and finally didn't tell the truth, he had his own task, and protecting Xun Mengqi was just his responsibility as an elder, and in addition, the task was the most important thing.
This mission comes from the intelligence of the vultures, and this is also to mention the Kaifeng Heroes' Gathering. At that time, the people of various factions in the rivers and lakes disguised their identities and hid in the city, and the imperial court had many eyes and ears, so they naturally knew about it, so they sent many good hands to lurk in various gathering places after changing the door through Heqin. Heqin Jiangmen's disguise technique is much more powerful than ordinary disguise, most of these good hands did not reveal their identities, and they also got some important information, the most gratifying thing is that they successfully rebelled against some people in the rivers and lakes, such as Tie Yingxia, Xie Qixian, Xiao Shuguan and so on.
Xun Yunan, Cui Lanyue, and Wang Chuan were in charge of the area around the South City Gate at that time, and brought a heavyweight sect to the imperial court, which was not pressed; Lianhuahai is alone in charge of the Huanxi area, which was also mentioned above; And the vulture is in charge of the Blood Knife Gate and the Demon God Palace, that is, the marriage alliance on the eighteen tables. At that time, he was disguised as a disciple of the Blood Knife Sect, and the night before he went to the tomb, he found out an important piece of information, that is, Wan Linglong was pregnant with a strange book - "Treasure Thief"!
The importance of this intelligence can be imagined, what Zhao Tuo needs most is a strange person who can break the formation, and Wan Linglong belongs to this category. However, there is one point, the vulture does not know whether there is a way to break the formation in the "Treasure Hoarder", and he has also collected many feng shui books and tomb robbery notes before, but when he opened it, he was all empty and happy, which made Zhao Tuo disappointed again and again, and he was very frustrated, so this information vulture did not report it in time, he planned to take the book and confirm it and then give his master a surprise.
Then there is the cutting of vines, the desecration of the Yin attack and other means, the purpose of which is to take advantage of the chaos to seize the book, although all ended in failure, but when it comes to Jupiter's corpse, the vulture is finally no longer fighting alone, he has a tough backstage Rui King, and his two major protectors of the same door, "Treasure Hoarders" will not be captured?
Bu Vulture informed the three of them of this information, and King Rui and him had the same heart, needless to say, although Xun and Cui served as the master of the door, but after all, they were the protectors of the same door, and they could also cooperate temporarily at this time, and they would grab the "Treasure Thief" first. So there was a story of Xun, Cui and Wan Linglong walking together, and Cui Lanyue forced Wan Linglong to take out "Treasure Theft" by "gambling on luck".
……
When Xun Mengqi found Wan Linglong in the corpse hall, her battle with the vulture was obviously at a disadvantage, although her skills had improved greatly, it was still difficult to resist the opponent's attack like a dense cloud. Xun Mengqi only glanced at the vulture's moves, and realized that this person belonged to the same sect as Xun Yunan, although he couldn't figure out the relationship between the group of people in Hagiyangmen, but one thing was for sure, Wan Linglong must have what they wanted, not her beauty, nor her young body, but the "Treasure Hoolster" that recorded the blasphemy.
Xun Mengqi's heart suddenly brightened, and he didn't care whether Xun Yunan would make a move, he directly used the flying needle to kill the vulture, but just when he stepped on the ground, an invisible force suddenly attracted from his feet, dragging his body and dragging him down!
Xun Yunan secretly said "Oops"! grabbed Xun Mengqi's arm and dragged it out, but it only dragged him to his heels, and he couldn't drag a step anymore, his feet seemed to have taken root and sprouted, and they were completely connected with the swamp-like ground!
At this time, Wan Linglong and Bu Vulture also stopped fighting, Wan Linglong had the heart to step forward to help, Bu Hu had already flown to the gate of the palace one step in advance to block her way, the long sword pointed at the back of Xun Mengqi's head, and said lightly: "Give me the "Treasure Thief", and I will help you save him." ”
"The surname is Bu, what are you doing!" Before Wan Linglong could speak, Xun Yunan was furious first, because of the excessive force, his face was flushed, and he shouted angrily like an old hen guarding a calf: "He is my own nephew!" How dare you trade his life? ”
Bu Vultures smiled, the long sword in his hand retreated a little, and said, "I didn't kill him because I knew that he was your nephew, otherwise do you think I would talk nonsense with Wan Linglong?" ”
"If you want to kill, you will kill!" Xun Mengqi twisted his head and looked at the vulture indifferently, and said lightly, "I, Xun Mengqi, don't need you to look at other people's faces to survive." ”
Xun Yunan knew that his nephew was stubborn, so he didn't blame him, and he also squinted at the vulture with extremely indifferent eyes, as if to say: You dare to move him to try it today?
Bu Vulture smiled indifferently, no longer bothered with the uncle and nephew of the Xun family, and turned to Wan Linglong: "You really didn't save him?" ”
Wan Linglong looked at the extremely stubborn Xun Mengqi, recalling the time when she welcomed guests to the party, although it was short, but it was the first time she felt the warmth of friendship and unrestrained freedom.
"I ......" Wan Linglong's silver teeth clenched, her thin eyebrows frowned slightly, and she just wanted to compromise, but a sentence suddenly sounded in her mind that made her extremely heartbroken.
"Huh...... Ready-made beauty, isn't Wan Linglong? Seeing that she is so self-cooked, what's the harm in using her? ”
"I ...... Who is he? If you want to kill, kill it! Wan Linglong shouted this sentence almost with her eyes closed, Bu Vulture seemed to have guessed that she would say this, and with a movement of her wrist, the tip of the long sword had already pierced the back of Xun Mengqi's head!
Xun Yunan didn't expect that the vultures would really be ruthless, he looked at the blood oozing out of the back of Xun Mengqi's neck, but he didn't dare to free up his hand to stop the vulture, this kind of aggrieved anger made him almost lose his mind!
"The surname Bu, if your sword dares to move forward even a centimeter, I Xun Yunan will definitely break your body into ten thousand pieces!"
Xun Yunan's threat had no effect on Bu Vulture at all, he still looked at Wan Linglong happily like no one else, and said, "I'll ask you one last time, are you sure you won't change it?" ”
Wan Linglong struggled in her heart, she had no idea, and wanted to ask the opinions of others, but there was only a corpse under the chair that sank deeper and deeper.
Maybe it can't be called a corpse anymore, his entire body was swallowed up by the corpse hall, leaving only half a bloody face, that was the man she loved deeply, but he was getting farther and farther away from her, and since then heaven and man have been separated forever, and they can only see each other in their dreams.
Am I going to watch him go away from me? Although it was a little unpleasant, he was my first friend after all!
She couldn't help but look at Xun Mengqi, wanting to get a hint of feedback, even if it was only a little bit. As long as his starry eyes flickered, the corners of the crescent moon's mouth were slightly upturned, and the pear vortex was shallow, revealing a hint of a smile, she would resolutely change his life. But he still had an indifferent look, as if it was not himself who was about to die, but an ant, the chilling calmness, the calmness in the face of life and death, made Wan Linglong's heart suddenly wake up:
"He was originally an indifferent person, indifferent to others, indifferent to his speech, and even his smile did not have a trace of warmth, but he was not a cold-blooded person, otherwise how could he burn Wangjing Tower for me? And come and save me from the temple of the dead? I may have forgotten what he said at the time, and I didn't take it to heart at all, so why should I hold on to it? ”
"Have you figured it out?" The vulture was a little impatient and began to urge.
Wan Linglong nodded, no longer had the slightest hesitation, took out the "Treasure Hoarder" from his arms and threw it far into the vulture's hand. The vulture hurriedly withdrew his long sword, opened the book and read a few pages, and there was indeed a strange star five-element array, which made him ecstatic and laughed.
"Now that you've got the book, it's time to fulfill your promise!" Xun Yunan reminded coldly.
"It's easy to say, it's easy to say!" The vulture kept the "Treasure Thief" close to him, and then squatted down and held Xun Mengqi's calf tightly, although Xun Mengqi was very disgusted, but he was also very familiar at this time and did not reprimand.
The vulture and Xun Yunan exerted force up and down at the same time, Xun Mengqi's feet slowly broke free from the ground at a speed visible to the naked eye, and the vulture was trying his best to save people, while muttering: "I really don't like you, if not...... If it weren't for your uncle's face, I would have ...... ...... long ago"
"It's out!" Xun Yunan screamed strangely, the vulture only felt a light in his hand, and sat outside the temple door, he stood up and patted the dust on his body, and said to Xun Yunan: "Let's go, there are more important things waiting for us to do!" ”
After saying that, the vulture flew away without looking back, Xun Yunan smiled and patted Xun Mengqi's shoulder, and admonished: "After all, you are still young, and your skills are not as good, so you should go back the same way, go back to Luoyang as soon as possible, and don't let your father worry about ......"
Xun Mengqi pursed her lips and did not reply. In my memory, my uncle seemed to treat me well, but that was when I was a child. At this time, the camps are different, and it is difficult to talk about family affection.
As soon as Xun Yunan gave the order, he drifted away, and only Wan Linglong was left in the corpse hall.
Wan Linglong looked at the very flat ground under the chair and shook in a daze. Xun Mengqi also guessed the approximately, and did not ask out loud, but just stood quietly outside the palace gate and waited for Wan Linglong.
After a long time, Wan Linglong appeared behind Xun Mengqi and said softly: "Only myself is left." The tone was indescribably gloomy and sad.
"It's okay, I'm still here." Xun Mengqi turned around and smiled very rarely, but this smile caused Wan Linglong to cry out with a "wow", and then hugged Xun Mengqi tightly, and tears instantly wet his long hair.
"It's all over, it's all over......" Xun Mengqi breathed a long sigh of relief, he didn't know how to comfort people, he just kept stroking his back, as if this would make her feel a little better.
Wan Linglong cried for a while, the sadness in her heart decreased slightly, she wiped her tears, "rubbed" and left Xun Mengqi's arms at once, turned her back and said angrily: "I haven't forgiven you yet......
Xun Mengqi was big for a while, he still didn't know what the other party was angry about, but it didn't matter, since she said that she didn't forgive, then apologize.
"I'm really sorry for what happened before, how can you forgive me?"
"Hmph...... You've wounded my young heart, it's the kind that can't be healed! ”
"That'...... Then you leave me with a wound too? It's like...... Like this bloodshot on your face? ”
As soon as she mentioned the scars on her face, Wan Linglong hurriedly reached out to cover her face, shook her head again and again, and said, "Don't, don't, how ugly it looks like this, if you become ugly...... I'll just ...... I don't like you anymore! ”
"Isn't it ugly? There is a little bit of domineering feeling, which is very in line with your identity as the leader of the Ming Sect! Xun Mengqi was not comforted, but really felt so.
"Don't do that!" Wan Linglong still covered her face and didn't want to let go of anything.
"Hmm...... So be it. Xun Mengqi thought for a while and said, "Since you don't want me to have a scar, then let my name have your mark on it, what do you think?" ”
"Name?" Wan Linglong opened her eyes very curiously and asked, "How can the name leave a scar?" ”
Xun Mengqi smiled slightly, blinked quite mysteriously, the latter saw that he deliberately hung his appetite, and angrily punched him gently, and then he explained:
"This red mark on your face is especially beautiful, so I thought about changing the name of my Oriental Dream ......"
"I know, it's the East...... Bloodstains! Wan Linglong nodded very firmly, "It's so domineering, it's so domineering, that's it!" ”
"Go, go, what blood, it's too ugly......"
"Huh? No, then ...... Oriental red seal? ”
"Begging for a beating!" Xun Mengqi was about to fight, Wan Linglong ran to the side with a grin, pouting with red lips and coquettishness: "Oops...... Just hurry up......"
"If you don't interrupt, I'll tell you!" Xun Mengqi glanced at her, but looked at the other party's expectant eyes, and said:
"Okay, let's call Dongfang a little red!"
