One hundred and fourteen chapters
Cheng Nan suddenly had a flash of inspiration in his mind, he quickly took off the monk's robe and tore it open with both hands and covered it horizontally on the wooden sword, and then regardless of whether there was a possibility of being burned, the monk's robe was quickly wrapped along the sword body a few times, and then he held it in his arms and didn't let go.
The thunderstorm outside was so big that it was terrifying to look at, and Cheng Nan, who had always been timid and scared, held a wooden sword and shrank under the workbench and didn't dare to move. He knew that the most direct consequence of doing so would also be at risk of being struck by lightning, but this lightning strike wood was something that Yuwen had exchanged for his life, and even if it was buried with him, it must not be lost from his hands!
"Master, Uncle Wen, help me! Jizo King Bodhisattva, please bless me, bless me, I can't let Uncle Wen down..."Cheng Nan shrank there and closed his eyes and muttered incoherently, by this time he no longer knew who to reason with or who to ask for help.
But I want to take something from him, unless he is really killed by thunder.
Cheng Nan shrank under the workbench for a long time, and he couldn't remember what he had read until the end, but intuitively he could sense that the sky outside had darkened.
Although the rain continues to fall, the lightning and thunder should have stopped.
"What's going on?" Cheng Nan just wanted to try to poke his head out and peek out the window to see the situation, when he heard someone knocking on the door outside, "Young Master Nan, Cheng Nan!" Cheng Nan, Cheng fool... Open the door, open the door! ”。
Gu Liang banged on the door loudly, almost smashing it with all his might, he didn't want to remind the owner of the room that there was a visitor, but he was afraid of an accident and wanted to come in to rescue, so he didn't have the idea of knocking on the door at all but wanted to smash the door open!
"It's coming... Wait... Wait..."Cheng Nan heard Gu Liang's voice, but he didn't rush over to open the door, but wrapped the wooden sword in his arms very carefully for a few more layers, and made sure that there would be no accident before he got out from under the workbench.
Gu Liang was dripping water from the top of his head to the soles of his feet, as if he had taken a cold shower with his clothes, and his lips were blue and purple, and the drunken state just now was also poured by the heavy rain.
"Senior Brother Gu? You... Why? Cheng Nan looked at the visitor who came to his yard in the middle of the night in the pouring rain and thunder, and asked puzzledly, "You... Something? ”。
Gu Liang wiped the rain on his face twice, looked at Cheng Nan's body carefully, and found that he could hardly see any obvious abnormalities, so he breathed a sigh of relief, and sat down directly on the floor along the door.
"Senior brother, you... This is? Oh... Wipe your face first..."Cheng Nan hurriedly found a towel and handed it over, still asking curiously, "Is something wrong?" Oh... Is your room leaking and you can't live in it? ”。
Such bad weather is in the middle of the night, unless his house is leaking and he wants to spend the night elsewhere, Cheng Nan has not thought of other reasons for the time being, but he asked very kindly, "Why don't you change your wet clothes first, how about I lend you a set?" ”。
"How's that? Hurry up and bring it, I'm freezing to death..."Gu Liang rushed directly into the bathroom and pulled off his clothes, if it wasn't for the emergency just now, he wouldn't have been able to do this kind of stupid thing of suffering and suffering!
Cheng Nan handed over a set of clean monk's robes, knocked twice on the bathroom door and reminded, "This is what Uncle Wen left for me as a souvenir, and you have to return it to me when you run out...".
"That's it! A set of old clothes, even when Yuwen was alive, he dared not let me wear them? Gu Liang retorted dissatisfiedly, "If he hadn't begged me to help you, and the face of the eldest young master of the Lan family was inside, you thought I was sick and risked being struck by lightning in the middle of the night to save you?" ”。
"You save me?" Cheng Nan was a little surprised, "The thunder outside suddenly disappeared just now, it can't be related to you, right?" Senior brother, you... Can you still drink Thor? ”。
Gu Liang changed his clothes and came out of the bathroom, stared at Cheng Nan's still young and handsome face for a while, and then asked him, "I said that you are a 'fool' is just an adjective, you can't take it seriously!" Young Master Nan, you don't think you're really a fool, do you? ”。
"Huh? I... Is it stupid? I... I don't think so..."Cheng Nan was still very surprised and asked, "Although Uncle Wen said that I was stupid, he didn't say that I was stupid...".
"Alright, alright! Let's not discuss this issue for now..."Gu Liang had to divert the topic and asked, "Are you injured?" I saw that lightning bolt in and almost knocked the roof over, and I thought you... I'm glad you're okay...".
"It's okay... It's that your hands are burned... Well? Cheng Nan was slightly stunned, he had been holding the wooden sword in his arms and didn't dare to put it down, he was very accustomed to using his left hand to open the wardrobe door when he was looking for a change of clothes for Gu Liang just now, and then he took the clothes back and knocked on the bathroom door. But when he was doing this just now, he didn't feel any pain...
"What's wrong with the hand?" Gu Liang also stared at his left hand twice, and didn't find anything abnormal, so he asked again in a puzzled way, "Do you have cramps in your hand?" ”。
Cheng Nan raised his left hand and looked at it a few times, and then turned his head to look at Gu Liang, he was burned when he just wanted to grab the sword with his bare hands, and his palm was not only very painful but also almost burned black, there was a very dark evidence of being burned. But now, when he said that he had been injured, he was a bit of a suspicion of fabricating and talking nonsense out of thin air.
"It's okay, it's okay, it's okay..." Gu Liang originally wanted to pat Cheng Nan on the shoulder to comfort him, but the height gap between them was too big, Gu Liang just raised his hand and found out about this fact, so he had to give up, in order to cover up this embarrassing action, he turned around and went to the direction of Cheng Nan's workbench.
Cheng Nan also understood his thoughts, smiled and asked, "Senior brother, do you also know about this sword?" The 'master' that Uncle Wen said is you, right? ”。
"Oh? You fool has become smart and yin..."Gu Liang stood and turned around to look at Cheng Nan's face very carefully, and then said with a look of surprise, "It's weird, it seems that you were really struck by lightning!" Oh... No, it's not a lightning strike, to be exact, it should be...".
"It's lightning! Just now, an electric light shot in through the window, rolling this sword and trying to snatch it away, I wanted to snatch it back in a hurry..."Cheng Nan said and looked down at his left hand, there was no evidence of his burns left, and I don't know if Gu Liang would believe it.
"What lightning? It's a dragon, it's a fire dragon, don't talk nonsense if you don't understand! Gu Liang corrected, "That's the body protection relic of the Southern Fire Position God... Eh, you wouldn't be... But Young Master Nan, you're so stupid, you don't seem to be quite alike... It can't be...".
Cheng Nan didn't understand the meaning of Gu Liang's abbreviations, and asked curiously, "I'm very stupid, senior brother, can you speak more plainly?" ”。
"Xu Ru of the Vermilion Bird position is a well-spoken, resourceful, and clever character, how do you think of this... It's a world of difference from you! Gu Liang also shook his head puzzled, "But how can the fire dragon explain it?" How could a divine creature like it fall on you except for the Lord, which no one else can control? ”。
"Xu Ru?" Cheng Nan was very confused when asked, how could he give an answer to such an esoteric question, but he also remembered that the eldest young master Lan Tianxing had also said this name before. Whether they recognized the wrong person, or were misled by other reasons, he himself didn't think it had anything to do with the amazing-sounding 'Xu Ru'.
