Chapter 8: Night Talk
Just when the distance between Xiao Jiansheng and Ma Xingkong was getting closer and closer, in the dark night, only to hear a bang, Xiao Jiansheng flew back and fell heavily not far from the chariot.
His face was buried in the cold rain, the corners of his mouth were slightly open, and he was unconscious of the rain pouring into his mouth, his snow-white hair mixed with the muddy water, and gradually, the red blood flowed out of his body, flowing slowly with the rain.
The corners of Meng Lingxiao's mouth twitched fiercely, his figure swept to Xiao Jiansheng's side, looking at Xiao Jiansheng who was half buried in the rain and muddy water, his eyes were extremely complicated, and his breathing was also very heavy, it seemed that after a long time, he slowly squatted down, stroked Xiao Jiansheng's back with his hand, his fingers trembled a little, he wanted to inject a breath of life into his cold body to delay the passage of his life, but he was surprised to find that the guy's body rejected his strength.
Meng Lingxiao's face was unusually tangled, he had never seen such a situation before.
He just perceived clearly that the vitality of that guy has begun to spread outward, that is to say, his life is in danger, and it is very rare to be able to withstand the power of a shot without killing immediately, however, the scene just now made him feel a tenacious vitality gradually condensed in that body, although his body has been riddled with holes, but his thoughts are still very strong and stubborn, could it be ......
Just now he was blocked by a cultivator who was also in the ancestral realm, and he couldn't get out to rescue Xiao Jiansheng at all, but he saw what happened to Xiao Jiansheng clearly, he didn't know why he was stupid enough to approach Ma Xingkong, he only felt that he was hit in the abdomen by Ma Xingkong's shot the moment he used his mental power, and then a law rage that even he didn't dare to bear entered Xiao Jiansheng's body, and began to wantonly strangle, there is only one consequence of this strangulation, that is, the other party's vitality is completely wiped out, there is no room for salvation, and Ma Xingkong's determination to kill people can be fully seenγ
Among the few people present, I am afraid that Huo Hai was the happiest in his heart, his eyes never took off Xiao Jiansheng's body, from the moment he rushed towards Ma Xingkong, he had been sneering, until Xiao Jiansheng completely fell, the boulder in his heart suddenly let go.
Over the years, Xiao Jiansheng's every move has always affected his heart, every time he hears the news of his breakthrough in the rivers and lakes, his heart has been unable to be placed for a long time, but now it's okay, that guy has finally stopped, he believes that once the news spreads, it will inevitably cause a hurricane on the rivers and lakes.
Just when Huo Hai was drunk, Meng Lingxiao suddenly raised his head, his eyes swept over Huo Hai and a few people, and finally stopped on Ma Xingkong, the two old men looked at each other from a distance through the dripping rain curtain, neither of them spoke, but they could sense each other's dissatisfaction.
Ma Xingkong smiled with satisfaction: "The end of going against the old man can only be like this, there is no other choice, Old Palace Master Meng, if you are not completely confused, you should choose a better path for yourself." β
Meng Lingxiao shook his head gently, he had nothing to say, but in order to delay Xiao Jiansheng's time, he said as slowly as possible: "Sometimes, from the first step in life, the end has been predicted, and there is no choice for you at all, just like you are in vain, you have been hiding behind Ma Xingtian for so many years, don't you just plot this day? β
Ma Xingkong said with a smile: "The old man's road has already reached the sky, you don't count what you said, and the old guys of the Ma family don't count, if the old man only needs to get the immortal body of Wuji Immortal, he can not be afraid of anyone in the world, let alone Ning Tieshoe, even if the two people above come down, they will not take the old man." β
Meng Lingxiao looked at the deep night sky, there was cold rain falling on his wrinkled forehead, flowing down the wrinkles of different shades, he didn't want to evaluate Ma Xingkong's bold words now, whether it was right or wrong, because he also had a bold idea, in fact, it was not that there were signs to prove his idea, but all kinds of things had forced him to guess like this.
Imagining with Ma Xingu, this dangerous move of Wuji Palace will be even more thrilling.
If you succeed, you will prosper for thousands of years, and if you fail, countless years of hard work will be completely turned into ashes.
At this moment, Meng Lingxiao laughed very comfortably, which immediately aroused everyone's vigilance.
Ma Xingkong sneered: "Old Palace Master Meng, have you thought about it?"
Meng Lingxiao said calmly: "I have thought about it a long time ago. β
Ma Xingkong seemed to have guessed a few points, and gradually clenched the bladeless spear in his hand, and there was a fierce wind forming on the head of the spear, but Meng Lingxiao was not ready to fight with it again, but cast his eyes on Xiao Jiansheng who was crawling in the water.
Just when everyone was puzzled, Xiao Jiansheng's position first came from a violent cough, and then, the figure that seemed to have been determined to die staggered to its feet.
Facing this scene, the most surprising person was Ma Xingkong himself, he not only felt the full vitality of Xiao Jiansheng's body, but even felt that a new force was rising, just like what he felt that night, this power made him uneasy and panicked.
He took a few steps forward, exhaled a very unpleasant breath, and the bladeless spear in his hand was against the water, where the water wanted to steam away, and the steaming water splashed, and there was a force along the shallow water trail of the ground to Xiao Jiansheng.
Ma Xingkong said cautiously: "The old man doesn't believe that you have two lives." β
Meng Lingxiao didn't believe it either, but he didn't make a move to stop Ma Xingkong from doing anything, he was just watching, waiting for that miracle to happen.
A few breaths later, when a clear stream of sewage was transmitted to Xiao Jiansheng's feet, his tired face suddenly became resolute, slowly raised his pale face, and laughed at Ma Xingkong for no reason, then clenched his fists, looked up at the deep sky, and his dull roar summoned a cool night breeze, which dispersed the raindrops in the sky, and also made Ma Xingkong's face extremely ugly.
When Ma Xingkong saw that the clear stream in the ground was dyed purple, he
Unprovoked panicked, in fact, he shouldn't have been like this, but there was already a lingering shadow in his previous psychology, and it was this strange power that destroyed his spear that night, allowing Xiao Jiansheng to escape, and more importantly, he was very unfamiliar with this force.
Because this rising power has transcended the realm of realms, just as the dragon clan has a secret technique that can override the law.
When the clear stream under the ground completely turned into a purple stream, the spear in Ma Xingkong's hand was broken again, and only one was left in his hand, seeing this scene, Huo Hai and the people he brought with him retreated and retreated in horror, and looked at Ma Xingkong not far away.
These people didn't think of stopping at the first time, but avoided it, but one of them was a figure who was not busy staring at Xiao Jiansheng to watch the movement when he retreated.
At this moment, Ma Xingkong sneered: "The old trick is repeated, and it may not be effective." β
He shook his head suddenly, and dozens of golden scales on his body peeled off on their own, shooting at Xiao Jiansheng overwhelmingly, and at the same time, the laws of his body quickly dissipated, in exchange for a strange aura that made the surrounding heaven and earth Yuan Qi surrender.
However, those golden scales that shot out did not seriously injure Xiao Jiansheng like the first time, but when he first reached three feet in front of him, the golden light had already decreased sharply, and then only an inconspicuous golden aura entered Xiao Jiansheng's body.
As the mist was injected, Xiao Jiansheng's body trembled violently, and then returned to normal, continuing to lower his head and not squinting.
Until now, Xiao Jiansheng hadn't raised his head, he just instinctively touched the muddy water that stuck to his eyes, but Meng Lingxiao sneered: " I know that your Ma family has practiced the secret art of the dragon clan, otherwise it is not even a second-rate family, without the protection of the Ma family, you Ma Xingkong is at most a martial artist who does not enter the stream, when you exterminated the spirit master, you Ma Xingkong was not secretly hiding under the Four Elephant Castle, and you didn't even dare to let go of a fart, now it's okay, I learned a little trivial skills and wanted to swallow the Ma family, but I was ridden on the head by a yellow-haired girl, and I turned out to be a thief, and I wanted to fight the idea of Wuji Palace......"
Ma Xingkong looked at Xiao Jiansheng cautiously, and didn't do it easily, looking at the changes in Xiao Jiansheng's body, he glanced at Meng Lingxiao lightly, and sneered: "It seems that there are a lot of disgraceful things on you, do you want the old man to shake them out one by one?"
Meng Lingxiao smiled, looking unimpressed.
Ma Xingkong chose to stop for the time being, but it didn't mean that he gave up killing Xiao Jiansheng, just a curious wait-and-see, but Huo Hai and the others didn't have the confidence to wait and see, they came tonight with the idea that Xiao Jiansheng would die, if that guy didn't die, he couldn't afford the consequences.
Therefore, taking advantage of the hostility between Meng Lingxiao and Ma Xingkong, someone chose to sneak attack, and suddenly, a black shadow swept out of the bushes and slapped a palm on Xiao Jiansheng's heart, as if he wanted to interrupt the momentum rising on Xiao Jiansheng's body, but that palm only made Xiao Jiansheng's body shake slightly.
At this moment, another black shadow bypassed the bushes and was about to approach Xiao Jiansheng, when suddenly Xiao Jiansheng sneered: "If I can make you tremble, it is the best thing, when I was in Wuji Palace, you targeted me again and again, those old things can not be mentioned, but tonight's events, Xiao Mou remembered them." β
After a faint sneer, Xiao Jiansheng raised his head completely, looked at Ma Xingkong over the others, and sneered: "Actually...... Elder Ma could have chosen to live in the old age like Ma Xingtian, so why should he be the one who spoils the situation?"
Ma Xingkong sneered and asked, "What bureau?"
Xiao Jiansheng shook his head and said, "It seems that Elder Ma is really confused. β
Ma Xingkong frowned, and just wanted to ask where the old man was confused, he suddenly seemed to realize something, turned his head quickly, and saw an old man and a young man standing behind him, the old man's face was calm, the young man's big eyes were wide open, and his body leaned forward, as if he wanted to open the old man's hand and rush towards Xiao Jiansheng.
Ma Xingkong looked at Ning Tieshoe closely, the killing intent disappeared in an instant, and his eyes suddenly became a little lower, and he asked in a low voice: "It seems that the old man is really confused." β
Ning Tieshoe said calmly: "It's not too late to know now, if you keep being confused, it will be hopeless." β
Ma Xingkong said in a low voice: "How can I be an understanding person." β
Ning Tieshoe said with a smile: "Starting tomorrow, you will retreat in that land temple, when you will understand it thoroughly, and when you will return to the Ma family." β
Ma Xingkong's eyes were slightly hesitant.
Ning Tieshoe said: "Don't worry, Ma Xingtian has already said hello, he is willing to accept you." β
Ma Xingkong bowed his head and thanked Ning Tieshoe with both hands in fists.
Among the people present, no one sensed the appearance of this old and young, even the ancestral realm that protected his safety beside Huo Hai, and Meng Lingxiao did not, he just sensed a trace through Xiao Jiansheng's abnormal performance, and suddenly, Ma Xingkong's reversal made Huo Hai a little shocked, and even a little uneasy, at this moment, Huo Hai suddenly changed his face, and was just about to salute Ning Tieshoe, but before he could bend down and get down, he felt a warm wind blowing in his face, and the next moment, including him and those who accompanied him, had already penetrated the dense forest and appeared at the foot of the mountain dozens of miles awayγ
Meng Lingxiao cocked his beard, and hugged his fist towards Ning Tieshoe with a grin: "It seems that the old man is worried about it." β
Ning Tieshoe said with a smile: "It's reasonable to worry, after all, I haven't touched anyone for some years, and I don't know where to fight to make people remember it for a long time. β
Ma Xingkong, who was thinking alone not far away, smiled awkwardly, walked slowly, and said with a faint smile: "Ma has something unclear, and I hope that my predecessors will teach me." β
Before Ma Xingkong could say anything about teaching, Ning Tieshoe replied: "Since you want to be a person who understands, don't ask these foolish words." β
Ma Xingkong nodded slightly, took a few steps back without a trace, and quietly disappeared.
Meng Lingxiao let out a long sigh, he also wanted to ask that question just now, but fortunately he didn't ask, otherwise he would probably choke on his nose.
At some point, the clouds cleared.
......
Early in the morning, an ox cart rose very slowly, the big black bull seemed to be several years old overnight, his legs and feet were not dexterous, he would rest for a while, and Xiao Jiansheng fed it wine only with his tongue, and his eyes became a little shorter, and there was no lack of light in his eyes.
In order to reduce the burden of the big black cow, only Zhao Lingxue was pulled in the vehicle, and the others chose to walk, by a river that went around the mountain, the ox cart stopped, Meng Lingxiao opened a pot to cook rice, Xiao Jiansheng watched with relish as Yuanmuyu rolled up his pants in the river to touch the fish, although last night's injury was not fatal, but it made him look a lot worse, if it weren't for Ning Tieshoe's hindrance, I'm afraid he and Shigong would not be able to smash in the horse shop empty-handed to bargain.
About half an hour later, the pot was boiling, but the fish hadn't come back yet, so Meng Lingxiao leaned in front of Ning Tie's shoes with nothing to do, and asked in a low voice: "How do seniors think that Zhao Lingxue's injury can be healed, when I was on the way, I discussed with that guy, and I was going to try to send her back to the Spirit Realm, but I didn't have a way to get through the sky." β
Ning Tieshoe was silent and drank in silence.
After a few breaths, he said, "Bad idea, the Spirit Realm will only hasten her death." β
Meng Lingxiao was puzzled: "What should I do?"
Ning Tieshoe also seemed to be a little difficult, and thought for a long time before saying: "It's not difficult to heal, the difficulty is after healing, don't ignore her identity, she is a demon not a friend after all." β
Meng Lingxiao shook his head bitterly and said, "It seems that it is easier to cook." β
Meng Lingxiao returned to the makeshift pot again, added a few dry firewood, and the water boiled again, but the fish had not yet entered the pot.
Yuanmu fish is small, he doesn't dare to catch the big fish when he touches it, and he feels that it is not enough to stuff his teeth when he touches the small one, Xiao Jiansheng seems to be no longer thinking about the fish, and he has no intention of helping at all, and his current body is not allowed to do this kind of intense work.
Ning Tieshoe looked up at the rising scorching sun, gestured a few times with his finger to the scorching sun, swayed to the front of the carriage, opened the curtain and looked at it, at this moment, someone behind him sighed and said: "Now only the seniors can save her." β
Ning Tieshoe rolled his eyes and said, "A person who has turned his back on the cultivation and knows, why should I save people, and what good will I do if I save her?"
Xiao Jiansheng scratched his head and asked rhetorically, "Why did the senior save me? β
Ning Tieshoe smiled coldly and said, "Don't take it as an example." β
Ning Tieshoe was about to go to the river to see what kind of fish his little apprentice had touched, a whole hour had passed, and he hadn't smelled the fishy smell, but Xiao Jiansheng followed him like a tail, which made him very annoyed.
By the river, Ning Tie said with a straight face: "What did you guess?"
Xiao Jiansheng smiled: "I didn't guess anything, I just felt that it was about to turn into a fish that was about to be put into the pot, or added, or stewed, and it seemed to be left to people to fiddle with." β
Ning Tieshoe smiled faintly, untied the wine gourd on his waist and poured it, and then smacked his lips and said, "It's important to save people first, but the premise is that you must come in person to save people." β
Xiao Jiansheng glared and said, "Seniors said that?"
Ning Tieshoe shook his head and didn't say any more.
At this moment, Yuanmuyu finally wrapped a fish thicker than his arm in his clothes.
Breakfast may have been eaten a little late, and the crowd did not eat sweet, but simply filled their stomachs, and drove further west.
At noon, Xiao Jiansheng pestered Ning Tieshoe and asked a few questions earlier, but was prevaricated by Ning Tieshoe again.
After the night came, several people came to the foot of a big mountain, the mountain road was rugged and could not be rushed, and after the night of the big black ox notano, the physical strength was obviously exhausted, so everyone had to choose the station early.
After the night was dark, several people sat around the bonfire, simply ate something, most of the time they were just drinking, there was a lot of wine brought out by Tianfu City in the carriage, and the wine pipe was enough.
After dinner, Xiao Jiansheng was about to go back to the carriage to take a look at Zhao Lingxue's injury, at this moment, Ning Tieshoe called him over, Ning Tieshoe didn't say anything useful, just led Xiao Jiansheng to climb the mountain in the dark, and the two stopped on a boulder on the mountain.
Xiao Jiansheng looked at the dark mountains, and could faintly hear the occasional roar of hunger from the mountains, but Ning Tieshoe didn't speak, and he didn't want to be choked back, so he didn't ask, and the two kept looking at the night scene with no bright spots at all.
After a long while, Ning Tieshoe looked at the night dome and sighed: "There were once two fools who were willing to give up the colorful world and chose a game of chess that can never be played. β
Xiao Jiansheng said in a low voice: "What the seniors said is the second elder of Shoutiannu?"
Ning Tieshoe nodded and said, "Yes, you should have seen the two of them." β
Xiao Jiansheng touched the back of his head and said suspiciously: "The seniors laughed, the juniors have this kind of shit luck." β
Ning Tieshoe said with a smile: "Do you remember when you were at the mouth of the mud well, someone was playing against each other on the Sharp Knife Ridge." β
Xiao Jiansheng's eyes widened suddenly, and he nodded vigorously and said, "Could it be that those two people who pretend to be gods and ghosts are the second elder of Shoutiannu?"
Ning Tieshoe snorted lightly and said with a smile: "Pretending to be a ghost, if those two guys hear you say that, they will definitely break your legs, and maybe dismantle the mud well." β
Xiao Jiansheng knew that Ning Tieshou was laughing, and he didn't mean to be afraid at all, so he smiled lightly: "What does the second elder of the heaven-guarding slave mentioned by the seniors have to do with saving people, and what does it have to do with the younger generations when they guard their heaven?"
Ning Tieshoe suddenly smiled and said: "Naturally, it has a relationship, if there is no them, and there is no current you, how can you talk about Zhao Lingxue?"
