Chapter 10: The Maniac
My body throbbed and stiffened, as if a steel wire had pierced all the joints, and I was in a daze in a world that seemed to be real and illusory, I shouted the name of Chunqiu, but there was a feeling of being pressed and breathless in my chest......
I struggled to walk on a clear water, but I didn't fall into the water......
"Lord Chunqiu, where are you?" I searched anxiously but couldn't walk fast, when suddenly his shadow appeared under the water...... He collapsed in the valley, his shoulders pierced by iron locks, and his body still covered with the wounds of the wood branches...... He seemed to have fallen from a very high place, soaked in blood, I saw the Jiu Xiao who led me to find Spring and Autumn, the black-clothed masked man, his hands trembling to wipe the blood for him, he seemed to have lost his strength: "Ping Si specially let me out to collect the corpse for you......" This sentence seemed to use all his strength......
And Chunqiu opened his eyes slightly, and kept repeating something in his mouth, but his strength was meager, it was difficult to even open his mouth, and it was even more difficult to make a sound, and in the end, Jiu Xiao didn't understand his words...... I saw that Chunqiu's eyes were slightly open all the time, he was always conscious, but he couldn't say anything......
"The dragon and phoenix ghost Jiao, the eyes are like the moon, the skin is like snow, the blood wings are like the sun, the waist is wrapped around the silver dragon, and the earrings are white snakes...... Trance like a god, and then care like a demon...... Reverse the world, call for wind and rain, all things are indispensable...... a vicissitudes of life voice seemed to tell a story to wake me up from my sleep...... I opened my eyes and saw the mad man sitting in the dark, with a stone table in front of him, and this lamp was lit on the table....... He's still asleep. I hurriedly looked around, the place was dark and damp, and from time to time the smell of musty grass wafted from time to time, mixed with the smell of rotting corpses......
"Wake up in the spring and autumn!" I struggled, obviously there was nothing to restrain me, but my body did not obey, and my joints stiffened as if I was being held by something......
"Little beast, he is a dragon and phoenix ghost Jiao, drinking his blood can lead to immortality....... Demon hunters all over the world are desperately hunting demons, just to exchange this drop of blood for the king...... Don't you want to live forever? The crazy man looked at me gloomily, my body stiffened and walked towards him, and I urgently shouted at Chunqiu: "Chunqiu, wake up!" Someone is going to kill you! ”
"Huh...... When did I say I was going to kill him? The mad man slowly crouched down, his rough fingers brushing over the snow-white neck of Spring and Autumn, like an incomparably withered person touching something incomparably luxurious and full of life......
"Don't touch him!" I yelled angrily, thinking I would scare him away.
"I'm not as stupid as Heiji, I won't kill him, I should raise him well, I can get immortal blood continuously, and someone will pay a lot of money to ask for it...... Money, treasures, power, status, women, and even the secret laws and powers that have been handed down from generation to generation...... As long as there is immortal blood, these things will be sent to me......"
"Use other people's blood to feed the shell of the void, you might as well kill everyone in the world and make them puppets, so that they will be obedient!" I hated it.
He stood up slowly, sneered, my body suddenly stopped, I stood stiffly in front of him, he looked at me with a strange smile: "When you were decisively dying on the wall of Nantang City, you were not as righteous and awe......-inspiring as you are now" The joints of his fingers are very thick, and his fingers can turn in any direction at will, as if his joints are a universal axis...... I was manipulated like a doll by him, he manipulated me, his head hit the edge of the table hard, and he bent over and laughed vigorously: "No matter how powerful the beast is, it is a doll in my hands, and your doll is still quite cute......"
Although I know that my wounds can heal on their own, the pain is real every time I am hurt......
"The king killed you without verifying your identity, do you really think that we are all blind? I've long seen through that you're an impostor, a real royal son who is pampered, how can you have the eyes of a beast...... The king just wanted to see the sincerity of Northern Chu...... The truth is that you have no sincerity at all...... We can only put the 300,000 troops back into Northern Chu......"
He said with a smile and a proud tone, I couldn't understand what he was saying, I took advantage of his slack and quickly reached for the iron rope that bound Chunqiu, I believed in my instinct, my hand was enough to tear the chain off...... But just when his fingertips touched the iron cable, his body was controlled by him again......
He suddenly approached me, grabbed my hair, and asked frantically: "This is heaven, even if you fake your death and get out, you can't escape my eyes...... Tell me, what other plans does the king of Northern Chu have, explain obediently, I will make the destruction of Northern Chu more comfortable......"
"You lunatic! What are you talking about! ”
At this time, the wound on my forehead that had been knocked out healed...... He suddenly put away his crazy look, held my head with both hands, and he said in amazement: "The wound heals itself...... Resurrection from the dead......" He clenched his fists and laughed wildly, I had no strength in pain, as if all the bones were twisted together, he waved my hand and knocked me to the ground, I fell in front of Chunqiu, and then, a cold dagger was thrown in my hand......
"I decided...... Feed you with his blood....... "A madman's sudden calm is the beginning of a nightmare......
"Black Hawk already knows about the existence of Spring and Autumn, even if we die, we have to decide Heiji himself. You are not qualified to decide our life and death! ”
"Huh...... The dragon phoenix ghost Jiao is punished by everyone, this is what the king personally ordered the demon hunter....... "He looked at me indifferently, my mind was blank, and I couldn't think of anything that could contain this madman......
He flicked his fingers, and I was manipulated by him to pick up the dagger on the ground, and the cold blade was attached to Chunqiu's neck, at this moment, I was desperate, I couldn't use even a little bit of my own strength to stop my hand.......
Suddenly, at this moment, a blood-colored feather appeared out of thin air and landed on the invisible filament beside me that controlled me, and suddenly there was a string sound like thunder in the deep sea, and the dagger in my hand shattered...... The invisible filament that binds the body is also broken......
Spring and Autumn woke up......
