Chapter 19: A Friend's Promise
Cheng Han looked at the little carpenter who suddenly appeared in front of him, was startled, took two steps back, looked left and right, and after making sure that there was no ambush around, he said, "You, why are you here?" ”
He looked very panicked, and his face became more and more pale.
When the little carpenter saw Cheng Han at this moment, he couldn't help but think of an article he had read a few years ago when he was traveling in Ten Miles.
In that article, the author is described, and a child named Runtu.
Of course, between him and Cheng Han, one side is not a young master, and the other side is not the son of a tenant farmer and a helper.
But the contrast after many years of separation is the same.
When the two met, Cheng Han had just returned from studying in Beiping, full of spirit, momentum like a rainbow, he was the best among the upper-class children of Yucheng, known as "Cheng Xiaoye", look at the posture of the little carpenter, and it was also the posture of the master to recruit masters.
Later, Cheng Han died and turned into a zombie, and the whole person completely collapsed, but the shelf of the noble disciple has not yet fallen, giving people the feeling that he is also a young master and a playman......
Even if the two met for the last time, Cheng Han stopped the little carpenter on the Chaotianmen dock and saw him off, and that state was not bad.
However, at this moment, Cheng Han is not only thin and rickety, but also his eyes are blank and wandering, all his spirit and spirit have dissipated, and there is an indescribable stale aura on his body, which makes people feel that his heart is there......
I haven't seen each other for a few years, but these two young people of the same age have staggered and gone farther and farther.
The little carpenter was silent for a while, and then said, "I saw you yesterday. ”
Cheng Han lowered his head and did not speak.
The little carpenter then asked, "You are the corpse king of their mouths?" ”
Cheng Han smiled bitterly and said: "I'm just a walking corpse, where is the corpse king?" ”
The little carpenter asked, "Who is the corpse king?" ”
Cheng Han bit his lip and didn't reply, his eyebrows and eyes were full of frustration and crampedness.
Seeing Cheng Han with this appearance, the little carpenter couldn't help but say, "Why did you become like this now?" ”
This simple sentence ignited the flame in Cheng Han's heart for an instant.
The man suddenly raised his head, stared directly at the little carpenter, and scolded hatefully, "What's wrong with me? That's what I am! What do you think I can become of a walking corpse, a lonely ghost with an incomplete soul? No, I could have turned the tables around, I could have been a human being, my father almost pulled this situation back, but it was you, and that goddamn friend Qu Menghu, who ruined my hopes - I didn't have the good luck of you, and I had the dragon vein to back me up, I was a fucking dead man, and a betrayed fellow......"
Cheng Han cursed at the little carpenter in a storm, his eyes turned red in an instant, there was a beast-like roar in his throat, his whole body became stiff, and his muscles twisted......
Obviously, his personality has been tormented by evil thoughts, and he has begun to become a little uncontrollable.
After all, this zombie body is against the principles of heaven and is an illegal thing, even if it survives in the world, but on the fifteenth day of the first month, it will inevitably be washed by the yin wind, like a thorn whipping.
In the long run, no matter how strong the will is, it is easy to lose oneself and completely become a monster without a mind......
Now Cheng Han can still maintain such a appearance, which is already very good.
The little carpenter fell silent when he heard Cheng Han's impassioned accusation.
In the past few years, he has not lived an isolated life, and naturally knows that after Cheng Lanting's death, the power of the Yucheng Robe Brotherhood has undergone a major reshuffle, and Cheng Han has no way to gain a foothold in Yucheng because of the particularity of this body, without the protection of his father, so he disappeared without a trace.
Once the little carpenter passed by Yucheng and talked to Chen Cang about it, and after learning that Cheng Han had left, no one had seen him again.
No one knows where Cheng Han went, and many even speculated that he was dead.
What people didn't expect was that he would appear here.
What the little carpenter didn't expect was that when Cheng Han mentioned his father at this moment, he had no hatred, and even had a bit of indescribable strong family affection......
Facing Cheng Han, who was about to go crazy, the little carpenter seemed very calm.
Even if the other party was about to rush up and bite, he stood there steadily, without any movement.
There he was, standing still, not moving.
He just stared at Cheng Han, who was on the verge of collapse.
One minute.
Two minutes.
Three-minute ......
Time passed slowly, Cheng Han still did not lose his mind after all, he pounced on him like crazy, but gradually controlled his emotions.
After a long time, he lowered his head and said slowly, "I'm sorry, brother. ”
Brothers......
With two simple words, the little carpenter's complicated mood dissipated, and he sighed and said, "Is there anything you need my help with?" ”
Hearing this, Cheng Han, who was originally a little ashamed, subconsciously raised his head.
He looked at the little carpenter, and after a long time, he slowly shook his head and said, "No, I'm doing well now." ”
The little carpenter sighed in his heart, but he was persuading in his mouth: "I don't know what your relationship with that corpse king is, but that guy is currently mixed up with Han Dashuai here in Ludong, and is ready to sell the recently unearthed Qingzhou Ding to the Japanese-this matter is something we will never tolerate, so we will definitely do our best to stop it, if you have anything to do with these people, stay away from them...... I, I don't want to meet you with a sword......"
The little carpenter persuaded seriously, and when Cheng Han heard it, he immediately said: "Don't worry, I will never be involved in these of theirs......"
Cheng Han's aspirations and ideals are known to the little carpenter.
As a former hot-blooded student, Cheng Han still has enough backbone no matter what.
The two don't have to be enemies, the little carpenter was also relieved at the moment, and then remembered the purpose of this visit, so he said to him: "By the way, do you know the poison of the black worm, how to solve it?" ”
Cheng Han was a little surprised and asked, "What, you got this poison?" ”
The little carpenter shook his head and said, "No, it's a friend of mine, who strayed into this formation yesterday and was bitten by the black worm, and now the situation is a little dangerous......
Cheng Han was silent for a while, and then said to him: "In this way, at this time tomorrow, if you come here again, I will bring you the antidote." ”
The little carpenter was very surprised and said, "You have an antidote?" ”
Cheng Han said: "The Black Soul Worm is an extremely poisonous thing, I naturally don't have it, but I can get a unique antidote - you can come and get it tomorrow, but there is one thing, you have to promise me......"
The little carpenter asked, "What is it?" ”
Cheng Han said: "Today's matter, after I go back, I won't mention it to anyone, but I also hope that you don't talk to others about you and me, how about it?" ”
The little carpenter nodded and said, "Of course." ”
After the two agreed, Cheng Han glanced at the little carpenter, and then said, "Okay, see you tomorrow." ”
With that, he turned around and took two steps into the forest in front of him, but the man disappeared without a trace.
Seeing the back of Cheng Han leaving, the little carpenter could see that although Cheng Han was greatly affected by the zombie body, from appearance to personality, there have been huge changes, but it is not without benefits.
At least his strength at the moment is much stronger than before......
After he waited for Cheng Han to leave, he turned around, found Ma Tielong hiding under the tree, and shouted, "Come down." ”
Ma Tielong climbed down and said with palpitations: "That person is gone? ”
The little carpenter did not talk nonsense with him, but explained: "You didn't see anything just now, you didn't hear anything, you have been sleeping on it, understand?" ”
Ma Tielong is in the rivers and lakes, and he can be regarded as smart, so he naturally understands the meaning of the little carpenter.
However, he still hesitated for a moment and asked, "No one can say?" Isn't it okay for the master of the abstinence? ”
The little carpenter said: "This is related to the life of the little master Lingxiu, can I trust you?" ”
If the little carpenter was forced by force, although Ma Tielong verbally agreed, he was afraid that there would still be doubts behind his back, but he brought out Lingxiu Xiaoni at the moment, so that Ma Tielong really had no reason to refuse.
He also nodded at the moment and said, "Okay, I see." ”
After the little carpenter leveled Ma Tielong, he took him down the mountain.
The next day, during the day, the master of the ring came to the little carpenter and asked him when he would come back and what he had learned.
The little carpenter replied no, and the master of the ring did not say anything, but just told the little carpenter, saying that there was no worry, they had already sent people to investigate everywhere, and once there was any news, they would notify them as soon as possible.
In addition, regarding the poison on Lingxiu Xiaoni's body, he is also thinking of a way, and he will definitely ask the best doctor to solve it......
The little carpenter nodded and said yes.
There was nothing to do for a day, and in the evening, he didn't talk to the master of the abstinence, so he directly found an opportunity, climbed over the wall and left, and then went straight to the eastern suburbs.
Hurrying along the way, needless to say, soon, the little carpenter arrived near Weizi Mountain, looked at the time, and felt a little early, the little carpenter did not immediately go to the agreed place, but went to the valley where the evil spirit sect had besieged Dong Xiwu before.
He wanted to figure out the cultivation and strength of those people of the Evil Spirit Sect from the traces of this underground......
Although he didn't know if he would have a conflict with the people of the Evil Spirit Sect, he still had the principle of "knowing himself and knowing that he would not be defeated in a hundred battles" and taking precautions.
When the little carpenter arrived at the place, he pondered for a while, and suddenly raised his head and looked into the forest not far away.
It was in the woods that he felt for the first time an aura that terrified him.
