Chapter 195: Jiuyang Breakthrough
The moon slowly rises, gilding the mountains and forests with a layer of silver glow, which looks very quiet and deep.
In a simple cave, there was a fire shining, Lin Che was sitting there, roasting a rabbit, but he didn't use any seasonings, just simply roasted with fire, this rabbit was relatively thin, there was no fat, and it was relatively stiff to roast.
There was a muffled boom.
It began to rain heavily, and the rain hit the grass and trees, and the smell of earth was everywhere.
The rabbit has been roasted, Lin Che tasted it, it was not delicious, but it was enough to fill his stomach, listening to the sound of rain outside, thinking about what happened recently, Lin Che couldn't help but feel a little lost and sad in his heart.
It is easiest for a person to expose the weakness in his heart when he is alone, although Lin Che has always been very strong, but only he knows that he will be afraid when facing difficulties, he will also worry when his brother is separated and life and death are uncertain, he will also be uncomfortable when he is only one step away from his sister but cannot see each other, and he will also be cold when he is misunderstood and disgusted.
He's human, and he's got these messy emotions.
However, Lin Che did not allow himself to fall into these emotions for a long time, took a deep breath, and readjusted his mentality, he was not a person without self-esteem, when Ye Xunyou showed such disgust with him, he naturally would not choose to stay, and he didn't want to embarrass Zhao Yingning, this encounter, he would only be a wonderful mistake in his life.
The moment he waved the butcher's knife in the Qingzhou Law Field, Lin Che was ready to be lonely for a lifetime, his sister could understand him, but he couldn't disturb his sister's life, and later he met Qin Lengyue, thinking that Qin Lengyue could understand him, but the sword at the North City Gate woke him up, Qin Lengyue is an official, and it is more important for her to be loyal to the country than anything else, maybe she likes herself, but the two are different after all.
Later, Lin Che married the eldest princess, although he has always been wary of this ambitious woman, but maybe it is the inferior nature of men, the eldest princess gave him her body on the wedding night, he was thinking for a moment that he wanted to cherish this woman and spend his life with her, but then he almost died in her hands.
Thinking of this, Lin Che laughed at himself, a blood-stained person like himself is not worthy of being liked by others at all, but fortunately he has two good brothers who can entrust life and death, and Lin Che cherishes this friendship very much.
Lin Che lifted his spirits and prepared to wait here until Jiuyang True Qi broke through the seal, and then immediately went to inquire about the whereabouts of the second and third brothers.
Just then, he suddenly heard footsteps.
Lin Che's eyes flashed with murderous intent, and he jumped up like a cheetah, and he had already pulled out the meteor sword that was placed aside.
The footsteps were getting closer, and the man was walking in a hurry.
Lin Che counted silently, ten steps away from his cave entrance.
Nine-step, eight-step, seven-step...... One-step!
Lin Che made a decisive move, and the meteor sword stabbed outward, piercing through several drops of rain, and came to the man's neck in an instant.
The man let out an exclamation, his voice crisp and agile, like a pearl falling on a jade plate.
Lin Che's pupils widened, a trace of nervousness flashed in his eyes, and he hurriedly moved the meteor sword a few inches away, passing by her, and the sword wind blew off a few green silks.
"Nonsense! Why are you here?"
The rain hit Lin Che's body, drenching his hair and clothes, but he didn't care at all, a trace of fear flashed in his eyes, if he reacted one step slower just now, she was afraid that she would die.
Zhao Yingning's clothes at this time were all wet, revealing a beautiful and delicate figure, her long hair was wet on her body, and her pretty white jade-like face was covered with rain.
"You almost killed me just now, you ...... You're still murdering me?"
Zhao Yingning turned around and ignored him.
Lin Che was helpless, so he could only take her hand and say, "It's raining heavily here, follow me into the cave first." ”
Who knew that Zhao Yingning shook off his hand and said: "Go away, I've been looking for you for a day, and you still scold me? I've grown so big, and it's the first time I've been caught in the rain, it's all because of you, but you will take revenge, I don't know what to do, wolf-hearted, dog-lunged, pigs and dogs are not as good, and you have lost your conscience-ah!"
Lin Che threw the Meteor Sword back into the cave, and then picked her up by the waist.
"Dengzi, you, you let go of me!"
"I told my father to kill you!"
"My third brother won't let you go!"
.....
She was like a restless kitten, arching back and forth in Lin Che's arms, but the strength of the struggle became smaller and smaller.
Entering the cave, Lin Che gently put her down, wanting to use his sleeve to help her wipe the rain, but found that his sleeve was also full of water.
"Why are you here?"
Lin Che added firewood to make the flame burn more vigorously.
Although Zhao Yingning was drenched like a chicken in soup, her face was even more beautiful, without the slightest powder, but it was still bright, which reminded Lin Che of Li Bai's poem.
"Clear water out of hibiscus, natural carving. ”
As soon as the words fell, Lin Che realized that he had subconsciously read it, and he couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed, so he could only cover it up by constantly adding firewood.
Zhao Yingning's eyes lit up, and she smiled a little slyly, revealing two small tiger teeth.
"Ahem, for the sake of you composing poems for me and praising me for being beautiful, this princess will reluctantly forgive you for killing me just now, why don't you thank me?"
Lin Che smiled and cooperated with her, "His Royal Highness Xie Qi Longen." ”
Zhao Yingning's eyes saw that there was still half of the roast rabbit left, and her eyes couldn't help but light up, and she picked it up and took a bite, saying, "I'm really starving, do you know that I haven't eaten for a day in order to find you." ”
Lin Che originally wanted to say that it was eaten by herself, but looking at her hungry appearance, she still didn't say it.
"Why did you come to me? Are you worried that I won't repay the favor? Don't worry, what I Lin Che said——"
Zhao Yingning tore off a piece of rabbit meat and stuffed it into his mouth, and said, "I'm looking for you, just because I want to find you, what's the matter with repaying your kindness, if you think of me like this again, I'll be really angry." ”
Lin Che looked at her dark and smart eyes, and an impulse suddenly surged in his heart, wanting to hold the girl in front of him fiercely in his arms, and then bury his head deep in her long hair.
But Lin Che forcibly pressed the impulse in his heart, and cut off the love thread with an invincible sword intent to restore calm.
"Miss Zhao, I know you're a ...... Very good girl, it's just that I, Lin Che, am not a good person, I am murderous, and my hands are covered with blood, Miss Ye is right to let you be wary of me, you shouldn't believe me so easily. ”
Zhao Yingning snorted, boldly looked directly into his eyes, and did not shy away.
"I Zhao Yingning has never believed in my own eyes, in my eyes, you are a husband who dares to act and values love and righteousness, as for the people you killed, kill them, what is the matter with me Zhao Yingning, what people are living, what is the righteousness of the family and country, I Zhao Yingning don't understand anything, I only know that once some people miss it, they will feel very uncomfortable and uncomfortable. ”
After a pause, she looked at Lin Che and said word by word: "I don't want to make myself uncomfortable." ”
Lin Che couldn't look directly into her gaze, but these words made it difficult for him to calm down in his heart.
"Miss Zhao...... You, you change your clothes, bake your wet clothes, so that you don't get cold, don't worry, I won't peek. ”
Lin Che turned around.
Zhao Yingning snorted when she saw him change the topic, and then took off her clothes with a blushing face, of course, only the outermost clothes.
She erected her shirt with a wooden branch, just in the middle of the two.
"Alright, you can turn around, you can take off your clothes and bake it. ”
Lin Che turned around, and through the silk clothes like light yarn, he could faintly see her graceful curves and long ink-like hair, which was particularly charming in the firelight.
"Miss Zhao, where is Miss Ye?"
"What, do you miss her? Hmph, what a disciple, I like one when I see one. ”
Lin Che was embarrassed and said, "I'm just curious about how she would let you get close to me if she was there." ”
"Hmph, she's just my servant, and she dares to mind my business? ”
"Then she won't find you, I'll be worried. ”
"I left her a letter, don't worry. ”
After saying this, both of them seemed to have nothing to say, and the atmosphere fell silent for a while, only the occasional crisp sound when the fire burned.
"Lin Che. ”
Zhao Yingning suddenly spoke.
"Tell me your story. ”
Lin Che smiled and said, "What is there to tell about my story, it was very bitter when I was a child, but now I look back on it very warmly, and I can't go back if I want to." ”
"Oh, I want to hear it. ”
Zhao Yingning lay on the small bed made of straw and yawned.
"I'm a little sleepy, when I was a child, my mother would tell me stories to put me to sleep, and now I want you to tell me too. ”
"Okay, I'll tell you then, don't bother you. ”
"Uh-huh. ”
"When I was seven years old, my sister made me a new dress, I was so happy, but I ran too fast and was hung by a branch, I was very uncomfortable, my sister made me a new one overnight, and I later learned that she had dismantled the fabric of her new dress......"
Lin Che recalled the bits and pieces of the past, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth at some point.
"By the way, you know—"
Lin Che's voice suddenly stopped, and he found that Zhao Yingning was already asleep, breathing evenly and gently.
Listening to the sound of rain outside, Lin Che did not have any sense of loneliness and loss in his heart, but was very calm.
......
Vertical day.
The heavy rain has stopped, and it is a sunny day.
When Lin Che woke up, he found that the cave was empty, and there was no figure of Zhao Yingning, only the fire that had burned out was left, as if everything last night was just a dream.
Lin Che suddenly felt a little flustered in his heart.
It wasn't until he came out of the cave and saw the clothes hanging on the trees outside that he breathed a sigh of relief.
"Big lazy pig, you're finally awake. ”
Zhao Yingning walked over with a hare, her body was slightly messy, and she thought that it took a lot of effort to catch the hare.
She lifted the hare's ears and smiled proudly like a little fox, and said, "You see this little rabbit is so cute, it must be delicious, hehe." ”
Lin Che was a little speechless, shouldn't girls be very loving to this cute little animal? Why does Her Royal Highness the Seventh Princess always think of eating?
"I've dried your clothes for you, lest you sloppy devil make them moldy. ”
Lin Che took off the coat that was sunburned on the tree, and couldn't help but feel a little funny while wearing it, a big lazy pig and a sloppy ghost...... Why did you have so many nicknames all at once?
There is a smell of sunshine on the clothes, and it is warm to wear on the body.
At this time, Zhao Yingning had already set up a fire, she threw the hare to Lin Che, and said, "Hmph, don't just think about waiting for food, go and clean up the rabbit." ”
Lin Che carried the hare to the stream, peeled it and took out the internal organs, washed it and brought it back to Zhao Yingning.
Zhao Yingning's eyes almost lit up, she had already lit a fire, and then carefully took out a few small paper bags from her arms, as if they were some holy things.
"What is this?"
"Hehe, you're blessed, this is the secret barbecue ingredient that I specially asked the imperial chefs of the palace to concoct, this package is five-flavor pepper sesame powder, this package is called Tianxiang cardamom powder, and this package is the best salt, produced in the Lonely Moon God Lake, this package is even more powerful, called the gathering of heroes, there are thirteen kinds of spices in it, and the recipe is not passed on......"
Zhao Yingning showed off these condiments like showing off her own treasure, and Lin Che was dumbfounded, and she could only say that she really deserved to be a senior foodie.
Next, Lin Che saw Zhao Yingning roasting the hare in a flowing manner, the oil was bubbling up, the aroma was overflowing, and then with all kinds of unique condiments, Lin Che just smelled the taste, and he couldn't help but swallow his saliva.
"You like to cook?"
Seeing her roast rabbit seemed very happy, Lin Che couldn't help but ask.
"Yes, eating good food is a pleasure, and cooking good food is another kind of enjoyment, when I'm in a bad mood, I like to eat food, and when I'm in a good mood, I like to cook, and then I'm even happier. ”
She smiled very happily, and the shallow pear vortex looked very cute.
Lin Che smiled: "It's a miracle that you didn't eat fat. ”
Zhao Yingning said proudly: "Who told me not to eat fat?"
"Well, this kind of talk is too hateful. ”
......
Lin Che temporarily threw away all his troubles, the youthful vitality that filled Zhao Yingning's body invisibly infected him, and he was always very relaxed when he was with her, and he felt that time flew by.
In the blink of an eye, it was the third day, and as soon as the time passed tonight, Lin Che would recover his Jiuyang True Qi and return to the Martial Saint Cultivation, and even after this ordeal, his state of mind had improved a lot, and his martial arts would go further.
This was something he had been looking forward to, but now he felt not as happy as he had imagined.
Because once he recovers his strength, it means that he is going to leave here, and he has his own responsibilities, he has to find the third and second brothers.
This small cave allowed him to spend two days of carefree days, but happiness was always short-lived, he not only had to leave here, but also her, she was the seventh princess of Qianguo, a collection of thousands of favors, and Lin Che was just a devil in the rivers and lakes, with a dismal reputation and everyone shouted and beaten.
One of the two is in the sky and the other is on the ground, the distance is too big, like a pair of parallel lines, there should not be an intersecting part, even if they accidentally touch each other, they will eventually return to their respective trajectories.
Zhao Yingning also seemed to realize that her interest had not been very high today, and she was sitting on the ground with her legs crossed at this time.
"In the past, I used to scold Chu Qingchan for being like a poisonous scorpion, but now I think she is too soft-hearted, why don't you ban you for seven or eight years?"
Zhao Yingning said suddenly.
Lin Che sighed lightly, and then said, "Ying Ning, I ......"
"I don't want to listen to your explanation, I just look at what you do. ”
Lin Che was stunned for a moment, then shook his head with a wry smile, and said, "When it's over, I'll send you back to Miss Ye, you should hurry back to Qianguo, this is not the place you should stay after all." ”
Zhao Yingning's eyes were slightly moist, and she said aggrievedly: "Lin Che, you are a complete coward, even I am not afraid, what are you afraid of, you are a manly husband, how can you not have courage than a woman?"
With that, Zhao Yingning turned around and ran out.
"Sakura!"
Lin Che was just about to chase him out, when his complexion suddenly changed, and there was a burst of heat in his lower abdomen, and the long-lost Nine Yang True Qi gushed out like a volcanic eruption, and suddenly broke through part of the Nine Yin True Qi that was extremely Yin to Cold.
Like a thunderbolt stirring the earth's fire, Lin Che's body entered a critical moment in an instant.
"Damn, I broke through at this time!"
Lin Che could only meditate on his knees first, manipulating the Nine Yin True Qi to completely dissolve the Nine Yin True Qi, if he succeeded, he could still absorb that part of the Nine Yin True Qi, and then the Yin and Yang would merge, and it would go further!
However, during this period of time, Lin Che was unable to act, otherwise once he was distracted, he might run into a demon with yin and yang, and his martial arts would be wasted at best, and his life would be ruined.
Although she was concerned about Zhao Yingning's safety, her martial arts skills were not high, and she might encounter wild beasts when she went out at night in this mountain, but Lin Che could only suppress her worries first and concentrate on breaking through.
At this time, the imperial capital of Chu State, in the imperial palace.
The eldest princess sat on the dragon chair in the Jinluan Palace, closed her eyes and seemed to understand something, there were many masters standing beside her, there were Lu Xiaofeng, Shen Lian, Xu Gonggong, and two generals in the army, the dragon spirit and the tiger were fierce, the tiger was on the back of the bear, one person held the green dragon glaive knife, the face was like a heavy jujube, the long beard was like hair, a proud color, one person held the eight snake spears, the eyes had double pupils, the divine light was compelling, and both of them were martial saint cultivators.
Those who can step into here at this moment are at least martial saint cultivators, and they are not ordinary martial saints, they are all strong among martial saints.
Shen Lian looked at the eldest princess on the dragon chair, and sighed in his heart, although he noticed that he was not rushing back to the starry night, but it was still too late, His Majesty was dead, and the crown prince was also dead, it is said that he accidentally fell to his death while riding a horse, and there were almost no people who could threaten the throne of the eldest princess at this time.
And the eldest princess does have a holy decree to succeed to the throne, and the holy decree is indeed written by His Majesty himself, and it is also covered with the jade seal of Chu State, all of this has become an established fact, and it can no longer be recovered, he Shen Lian has only one choice, that is, to be loyal to the new monarch.
Suddenly, the eldest princess opened her eyes, her eyes became pale blue, the same color as ice and snow, and as she opened her eyes, the entire Jinluan Hall seemed to become an ice cave.
"He is about to break through my Nine Yin Seal, I have sensed the location, on the mountains near the ancient city of Luoyang, everyone, it is up to you to kill this thief, go and return quickly." ”
"Yes!"
Everyone withdrew, I have to say that this time the eldest princess is very overestimating Lin Che, an innate grandmaster, four top martial saint powerhouses, this kind of luxury lineup can be called terrifying, even an army of 100,000 people can't stop such a combination.
After everyone withdrew, the indifference and majesty in the eldest princess's eyes faded, and a trace of confusion and hesitation flashed in her eyes.
She thought of the man with whom she had been skin-to-skin, of the feeling he had brought her that night, of forgetting all her troubles for a short time after the ultimate pleasure, so full and satisfied, and happy.
She has been hesitating, hesitating whether to kill Lin Che, that night after hearing the news of Lin Che's escape, she also quietly breathed a sigh of relief, in fact, she still has a back hand on Lin Che, that is, the layer of Nine Yin Seal, which contains her Nine Yin True Qi, which usually can't be felt, once Lin Che wants to break through the seal with Nine Yang True Qi, and the Nine Yin and Nine Yang collide, she will give birth to a sense in the dark and perceive the other party's location.
She was very hesitant to use this back hand, until she remembered what her father said, you can do anything for the monarch, and the only thing you can't do is to turn back. She had just made up her mind to kill Lin Che completely and not leave him the slightest chance of life, otherwise with his talent, he would definitely be an extremely terrifying enemy in the future.
But after she gave the order to kill Lin Che tonight, her heart was empty, and there seemed to be a voice reminding her that she didn't want to do this.
After pacing back and forth for a few steps, a trace of anxiety flashed in the eldest princess's eyes, and her palm slapped on the dragon chair, and she actually made a deep palm print on the dragon chair made of pure gold.
Lin Che ...... Should I kill you or not......"
......
In a cave.
Lin Che concentrated on breaking through, manipulating the Jiuyang True Qi to eat away at the Nine Yin Seal little by little, not daring to be careless.
Just then, he heard the voices of several people talking.
"Big brother, that magic knife Lin Che is too difficult to find, in the past few days, we have gone over the mountains and mountains, looking for all the places nearby, and we haven't even seen a single figure. ”
"Alas, I don't think eighty percent of them can't be found, but it's a pity that the court's bounty, 10,000 taels of gold, and the marquis of 10,000 households!"
"Okay, okay, the second brother and the third brother don't be discouraged, you look at the fourth brother, although he is the youngest, he is the most calm, let's go to the cave in front of us to rest for a night, and then continue to look for it tomorrow, whether you can be an official and make a fortune this time, you can count on Lin Che's head." ”
"Well, listen to Big Brother!"
......
In the cave, Lin Che was so anxious that he almost went mad, now he can't move, he can only be reduced to someone else's knife, once he is discovered, it will be over.
Although Lin Che's body is very hard, comparable to Shaolin's King Kong indestructible body, ordinary swords can't cut him, but in the past few days, his body has been seriously injured, and his defense has been greatly reduced, especially his right arm, which is only barely able to use now, and it will hurt if he is slashed a few times, Lin Che really doesn't know if he can bear it.
However, he knew that it was useless to be in a hurry, and the only thing he could do at this time was to calm down and try to break through the seal as soon as possible and recover his strength.
The four men were getting closer and closer to the cave, and just as they were about to enter, a coquettish shout rang out.
"Wait a minute!"
Lin Che's calm mind almost lost again, it was Ying Ning! She came back again, was she worried about me? But with her martial arts, she couldn't stop these four people at all, if something happened to her......
When Lin Che thought of this, his heart felt as if he had been stabbed by a knife, and he wanted to put his life on the line to let her leave quickly, but unfortunately he couldn't even speak now.
"The four eldest brothers, Xiaosheng's surname is Lin Mingying, my brother is resting inside, he is irritable, he doesn't like others to disturb him the most, even I am not allowed to enter. ”
"Oh, who is your brother, by name?"
"My brother's nickname is the Golden Lion King, I like to eat human flesh the most in my life, especially human chest meat, he used to live on the overseas Ice and Fire Island, and then the people on the Ice and Fire Island were eaten by him, my brother was so hungry that he almost ate me, Xiao Sheng had no choice but to take his brother to the Central Plains, he just ate a person, and he was sleeping in it. ”
Eat all the people on an island?
The four of them looked at each other, although they felt a little unrealistic, but ..... At this time, none of them dared to set foot in the cave, as if there was a man-eating monster living in it.
In the cave, Lin Che was relieved when he heard that the four people seemed to be bluffed, and secretly praised Ying Ling for being really smart and clever, this "Heaven and Dragon Slayer" was the story he had told her before, but she didn't expect her to scare the four people with an idea.
The four of them were certainly not gullible, but they had already been planted with psychological hints in their hearts that there was something terrible in the cave, which made them subconsciously refuse to enter the cave.
It's like when we know that there are no ghosts in the toilet, but we don't dare to go to the toilet after watching a ghost movie related to the toilet, this is a psychological suggestion, and the subconscious thinks that there is something terrifying there.
"So the four eldest brothers should leave quickly, don't wake up the elder brother, otherwise even the younger brother will be unable to protect himself, so in order to make up for the loss of the four eldest brothers, you can take these silver taels and apologize." ”
Hearing this, Lin Che sighed in his heart, Ying Ling is indeed witty, but unfortunately she has been in the top position for a long time, and she doesn't know how attractive this money is to those who are struggling at the bottom of the rivers and lakes and licking blood from the knife edge, and the wealth is not exposed, if Ying Ling does not take out the money, then these four people may still retreat, but at this time, seeing Ying Ning taking out so much money, she will definitely have bad intentions.
These four people even dared to kill him Lin Che for money, how could they be afraid of an ethereal man-eating demon king?
Sure enough, outside the cave, as soon as they saw Sakura Lemon casually taking out so much money, several people looked at each other and saw the greed in each other's eyes.
There must be more money on this man!
It's a fat sheep, a big fat sheep!
Zhao Yingning also sensed that their eyes were wrong, took a few steps back, and said, "What do you want to do?"
"What do you want to do? Hehe, you are a man with fine skin and tender meat, although you are a man, but grandpa and I are good at this, come, let you be a rabbit master today!"
"Hand over all the money, take off your clothes again, and let the uncle and a few of us have a good time, and we can let you go, haha. ”
......
These four people keep talking foul language, and there are many people who like the good of Longyang in this era, especially those who are white, tender and delicate like Zhao Yingning, who are from rich and noble families at first glance and are the most popular.
One person rushed forward, Zhao Yingning hurriedly dodged, but she was so light that she was knocked off the crown by the other party, and her long hair fell like a waterfall.
"Huh, no, the master actually looked away, is this clearly a handsome little lady, haha It seems that our brothers are really blessed, this barren mountain can actually meet such a beautiful little lady, hahaha!"
Zhao Yingning's pretty face was frosty, at this time she regretted very much that she had not studied martial arts seriously, so that she was so humiliated.
After hesitating, Zhao Yingning bit her red lip and jumped into the cave.
"If you're not afraid of death, come in and let my brother eat you all!"
The four of them looked at each other, not knowing for a moment whether to enter or not.
In the cave, Zhao Yingning knew that he had reached a critical moment when she saw Lin Che's appearance, her eyes were firm, and she picked up Lin Che's meteor sword.
"You break through with peace of mind, I will definitely help you block them!"
She glanced at Lin Che deeply, then drew her sword and walked out of the cave, her back resolute without a trace of hesitation.
