Chapter XXVIII
The game was finally coming to an end, and after Gu Jiacun did not compete except for Gu Chen and Gu Chang, only Gu Qing was left. And Gu Qing's luck didn't seem to be so good, he met Zhou Yong from Zhoujia Village, and after a fierce fight between the two, Zhou Yong defeated him and won the victory.
Up to now, in addition to all the people eliminated, in addition to Gu Chen and Sun Wen, there are still 8 people, namely three from the Chen family, two from the Sun family, one from the Zhao family, one from the Zhou family, and one from the Li family.
Gu Chen didn't plan to pay attention to the next game, because it had nothing to do with him and Gujiacun and this competition, so he planned to go back to the village directly after Erdan's injury got better.
After the competition, Gu Chen asked Gu Chang to take him to the medical hall where Erdan was, and under the simple treatment of an old doctor, with the assistance of elixir, Erdan's injury was temporarily stabilized.
The old doctor was an old man, and his medical skills could not be said to cure all diseases, but he was very famous for some injuries and the like, and countless people came to him every day to see the external injuries.
"Erdan, how is it, can you go?" Gu Chen came to Erdan's bedside, looked at Erdan's pale face, and said with concern.
"It's okay, Brother Chen, I can't die, but I shouldn't be able to walk on this leg in the future." Erdan said calmly, as if not being able to walk was just a trivial thing to him.
Gu Chen looked at Erdan's legs, and felt very sad in his heart, he knew that Erdan's words were just to comfort himself, but once a martial artist lacks arms and legs, it will be very difficult to achieve success in the future.
Gu Chen held back his tears and didn't let it fall, he knew the character of the second egg very well, in addition to being stubborn, there was also a trace of unwillingness. Erdan has expressed disdain and anger at the so-called power since he was a child, and his dream is to push all the injustices in the world, and he wants to give the world a world of peace and well-being.
In the face of Sun Wen's domineering and arrogantness, the second egg did not show stage fright and fear, which made Gu Chen feel very gratified, but at the same time, this kind of egg hitting the stone seemed very unwise.
"Don't worry, I'll definitely heal your leg, trust me. Gu Chen grabbed Erdan's hand and said solemnly to Erdan, in Gu Chen's eyes, the brother is to take a knife in the ribs and go to the soup to fight the fire, even though the road ahead may be difficult, but if there is only a glimmer of life, Gu Chen will catch it desperately.
"It's okay, Brother Chen! It's just a minor injury, and he'll recover quickly. Erdan is still heartless, smiling so brightly, but at this moment, his thin body and pale little face make him extremely helpless.
Gu Chen left the room, he was afraid that if he stayed any longer, he would cry silently. He leaned in front of the door, wiped away the tears rolling in his eyes, and then found the old doctor and asked, "Is there any hope for his leg to recover?"
The old doctor shook his head and said: "His legs were directly stepped on and shattered, and his muscles and bones were broken, it is not easy to recover, with these ordinary elixirs, it can only be said that the wound will not worsen, but if it is repaired, unless the heaven and earth magic medicine." ”
"What heaven and earth magic medicine can do?" Gu Chen hurriedly asked.
The old doctor pondered for a long time, and said leisurely: "As far as I know, in this world, there is a mysterious and special elixir, which is called the Bone Flower, which can make people have white bones and flesh, and regenerate muscles and bones, but that kind of elixir is very rare, and it is only seen once in a hundred years. ”
"Raw bone flowers. Gu Chen silently remembered in his heart that he must find a raw bone flower for Erdan as soon as possible to help him recover his left leg.
"Thank you, doctor, please be sure to take care of the second egg, boy Gu Chen is very grateful. Gu Chen bowed to the old doctor.
"Little brother is very polite, the heart of the doctor's parents, even if you don't say so, I will definitely take care of Gu Dan's little brother. The old doctor helped Gu Chen up and said.
Gu Chen looked at the old doctor's face, he felt that the outside world was not as sinister as the second uncle said, and there were still enthusiastic people.
Gu Chen left the medical hall after explaining some things, and seeing that the doctor was so kind, Gu Chen's heart was also relieved.
The night had gradually darkened, Gu Chen walked towards the inn, he planned to take Erdan back to the village in two days.
Just as Gu Chen was passing by a remote alley, a figure suddenly walked out of the night, blocking Gu Chen's way.
Gu Chen was blocked by the person in front of him, and he was also alert in his heart, could it be someone from the Sun family? Gu Chen thought to himself.
That person's face gradually became clear in Gu Chen's eyes, he was a tall and thin middle-aged man, with the essence of a businessman in his eyes, and his face did not have a trace of ferocity.
"Don't be nervous, I'm not a bad person, introduce myself, my name is Wang Hefeng, your father's friend. Wang Hefeng has been paying attention to Gu Chen these days, and since he first entered this town, his every move has been known by Wang Hefeng.
"My dad's friend? I've never heard of a friend like this from my dad. Gu Chen's vigilance had not been lowered, he would not send him away because of a word or two from the person in front of him.
Wang Hefeng chuckled, he seemed to be expecting such a result, only to see him take out a letter from his pocket and hand it to Gu Chen.
Gu Chen took the letter in his hand suspiciously, looked at the cover, and it read: To Wu'er, the suffix is Gu Huaqing. Seeing this, Gu Chen couldn't wait to open the envelope and take out the letter inside.
"Chen'er, if you read this letter, I believe that you have passed this time and obtained the apprentice trial quota of the Sword Xuanzong, Dad feels very relieved, since you were a child, you have to aspire to become a strong man who stands up to the sky, it can be said that you have taken a small step now, but the road ahead is long, you must be careful.
The world of martial artists is sinister, there are many people who do whatever it takes for the sake of profit, regardless of family affection, I want to tell you, while protecting yourself, don't hurt innocent people, sometimes, endure the calm for a while, take a step back and open the sky. But to the point where it's really unbearable, there's no need to endure it anymore, my Gu Huaqing's son is not afraid of anyone!
In addition, you don't have to worry about Dad, Dad is just leaving for a while, you have to take good care of your mother, there are no other relatives in the family, and you are now the only relative by her side. I hope you can spend more time with your mother, no matter how much you have achieved in the future, you can't forget your loved ones.
If I don't come back within three years, you can come to Xuanwu God City to find me. Remember, remember. ”
After reading it, Gu Chen put away the letter, looked up at the sky, and sighed. Dad, what kind of person are you?
Wang Hefeng didn't know what was written in the letter, he was just ordered to hand the letter to Gu Chen, and then after seeing Gu Chen finish reading the letter, he said: "Your father is my savior, and he asked me to take care of you before leaving, so if you encounter any difficulties in the future, you can come to me directly." ”
After Gu Chen heard this, he suddenly thought of something, and asked excitedly, "Then can you help me find the Bone Flower?"
Wang Hefeng's heart did not change after hearing this, such a request was also expected by him, the second egg and Sun Wen fought, he actually saw it clearly in the audience.
"I'm sorry, I can't find you such a spirit flower, this kind of thing may only be found in a big sect like Sword Xuanzong, so if you want to get the Bone Flower, you must enter the Sword Xuanzong. Wang Hefeng said with a solemn face. He knew how many people from the Sword Xuanzong sect flocked to it every year, but how many people could succeed every year?
Gu Chen heard Sword Xuanzong again, these three words had been repeated in his ears many times, as if they were like myths, arousing everyone's longing. After hearing that the Sword Xuanzong had a living bone flower, he became even more determined in his heart to join the Sword Xuanzong.
"Thank you! After Gu Chen thanked him, he left, he now has to plan the next time, although he has had some adventures, but the most important thing in this world is genius, what he needs to do is to seize all the time that can be cultivated.
Wang Hefeng looked at Gu Chen's departing figure and muttered, "He doesn't know if this letter is good or bad for him." ”
Late at night, Gu Chen lay on the bed thinking about his future plans after washing up a little, he thought that the most important thing now was to improve his cultivation, because now he was only a martial artist in the late stage of the Fourth Heaven with a thousand catties of great power, and he didn't know what kind of strength he would have after his cultivation was improved.
Thinking of this, Gu Chen's heart became hot, and he was a little looking forward to the days ahead.
As everyone knows, while Gu Chen was thinking about it, the killing machine was slowly approaching him.
I saw a figure dressed in black quietly walking on the roof of Gu Chen's building, and he quietly used his strength to make a small hole in the roof tile, and he could clearly see Gu Chen inside. The whole process didn't make a sound, and it can be seen that this is a professional killer, and this kind of thing has been done more than once or twice.
Just as he was about to pass the ecstasy incense in his hand into Gu Chen's room, a huge sword light silently and directly split him in two, splitting in half.
"Why? my body is out of control?" the man in black didn't feel any pain before he died, but he felt like he had fallen on the roof for some reason, making a crashing sound.
"Who?" After Gu Chen heard the voice, he turned over and saw the dead man in black, Gu Chen couldn't help but gasp, only to see that the wound was very smooth, without a trace of roughness, just like tofu cut by a cutting machine, only blood flowed out, dripping down the eaves and dripping below.
For the man in black, Gu Chen already had a guess in his heart, this should be a killer sent by the Sun family, Gu Chen's eyes flashed fiercely, since the Sun family is like this, then he can't sit back and wait any longer.
"Who's helping me?"
