"This is called 'mutual fusion', and it is one of the secret techniques of the Tail Sect. The two immersed themselves in the medicine pool, cut each other's blood, and covered each other with wounds, so that the blood flowed into each other's bodies, and from then on, the heartbeat was at the same frequency, and the blood flow was at the same speed. ”

Duan Ming took a Supa and strangled his fingers, and carefully medicated me. "Many years ago, you asked the Sect Master to perform a spell on the two of us, and since then, our blood and heart have been connected. So if you were seriously injured that day, the same wound will appear on my body, so I will know your condition. ”

"There is such a spell in the world, it is unheard of," I hesitated, "but what real benefit is there when I begged the Master to merge you and me with each other, except that we can sense each other at the first time when we are in danger?" ”

"Of course there are benefits," Duan Ming took care of the wound on my hand, and Fang sat down without thinking, "A person who blends with each other will have the internal force of two people superimposed, and when one person is injured, the wound will also heal at twice the normal rate." In other words, when you are in danger and cannot save yourself, as long as I can heal my injuries with luck and take medicine to recuperate, then you will not lose your life. ”

"No wonder... I was so badly injured that day that I was able to wake up on Lianyue Mountain, presumably because of your timely treatment! I suddenly realized, "And the speed of wound healing when I was in the Hou Mansion is naturally the result of the joint cultivation of you and me!" ”

"Yes, I was about to return to the main altar of Lingguang Mountain that night, when there were suddenly cracks on my body. At that time, I had to settle down in the most well-supplied Taopin Building in this state, although I don't know where you are, at least I can heal and save your life. Afterwards, when I saw that your Aunt Hua seemed to be fine, I knew that you didn't tell others about it. Duan Ming sighed, "At that time, I was horrified, only that there was anyone else in the world who could hurt you so far." Where did I think it would be because of ......"

"—No. Wen Ling's injury wasn't mine. I interrupted, "I only regained my consciousness on Lianyue Mountain, and Wen Ling was already scarred by then. Therefore, it can be inferred that she sneaked into the Lihou Mansion that night on the order of the sect leader to steal the treasure, and must have met a master of martial arts above her. ”

"Lifu...? Treasure Theft...? Duan Ming hesitated, "It turns out that this is the task that the sect leader gave you that day?" Then who is it with such a great martial art that can force you into such a situation......"

"I really can't find out this for a while, so don't think about it yet. It's our wounds—" I suddenly got up and untied Duan Ming's cloak, "I don't believe it, can it really be exactly the same?" ”

"What to do - don't!"

Duan Ming couldn't dodge for a while, and the profane clothes had already slipped down by a minute.

The naked body was suddenly exposed in front of my eyes, but the shyness was instantly covered up by the astonishment - on the full white muscles of Duan Ming's left shoulder, there was a scar that was longer than the palm of the hand and as wide as an inch, although it had completely healed, the neat stitches on both sides were still clearly visible.

I glanced down and saw deep or shallow scars on the intercostal space, under the umbilicus, and in the abdominal thighs. And these are clearly absent from me.

"How so! Didn't you say that our bodies are connected? "I watched Duan Ming put his clothes back on in a hurry, and his face was swollen and he didn't dare to look at me." The ointment I applied day and night in the Hou Mansion was added with herbs that can eliminate scars, why are you still-"

"—We don't connect the body, it's just the blood. Although the medicinal materials of Houfu can ensure that your skin is still smooth, they can only act on the epidermis, and they really have no effect that penetrates deep into the blood. Duan Ming pretended not to care and said, "It's like when you're nervous, my heartbeat won't speed up; You won't feel pain if I get slapped. Mutual fusion relies on blood and blood to strengthen the body and save life, and does not act on muscles, skin, senses, nerves and other signs. ”

"What is this..."I thought of the shocking scar on Duan Ming's body, and became more and more angry, "So no matter what injuries I suffer outside in the future, you will have to suffer half of the pain for me?" This art of mutual integration is so domineering, is there any way to solve it? ”

"The two bodies are blended, each in half. One body is fallen, and both halves are destroyed. Where is there any solution..."Duan Ming smiled bitterly, "Unless all the blood of one person is released and injected back into the body of another person, it can be regarded as a way to give up one and protect one." It's just that the world is so big, how can it be done like this? You still don't have these weird thoughts, you have time to get rid of this stuffy gourd, I said it's better to pick up your kung fu back. ”

"Kung Fu?" I wondered, "Didn't it all go with Wen Ling's memory, but how did you pick it up?" ”

"I'll teach you!" Duan Ying frowned and smiled, "You have taught me kung fu for ten years, and now, I have the opportunity to teach you back, wouldn't it be a good idea?" ”

"That's a good idea! You don't know, a few days ago, I was in distress in the Hou Mansion several times, and I couldn't wait to use my kung fu to protect myself. I just hate that I don't have the courage to go out and fight with others-"

"-When you don't have kung fu, it's natural to protect yourself," Duan Ming said solemnly, "It's just that the people in the Hou Mansion treat you very inconsiderately, how can you be in danger several times?" ”

"It's a long story, Lihou treats me very well, but Lifu is not completely calm." I said dismally, "The open and secret battles in the officialdom, even if you don't want to be involved, you will inevitably be dirty." ”

"Yes, in recent years, the sect leader has successively ordered the mansions of the major ministers of the Northern Dynasty to enter the ears and eyes. Even the crown prince and the third prince's mansion have successfully installed our Gangfeng Banner, but the Lifu is not leaky, and there is no way to start. Duan Ming squinted his eyes and said, "It can be seen that the Marquis of Lili is by no means a good type, and he can stand in the court for three dynasties, and he has his own outstanding skills." ”

I was silent, just like Aunt Hua, the Hou Ye in Duan Ming's mouth was really not quite the same as the Hou Ye I was familiar with.

They had never personally come into contact with the lonely and honest old man, so their impression of him naturally depended on their own imagination and rumors. In the past, Wen Zhao had been lurking in Lifu for more than ten years; Later, Xiaoyao stirred up the storm for Bo's upper position, where was Lifu as secretive as Duan Ming said?

But I have no need to argue with them, and they may not believe me. Second, it's really complicated, and it's pointless to do more.

He was about to speak, but he heard a soft knock on the door. Duan Ming and I glanced at each other, and together we got up and walked to the door. Duan Ming opened the door, but saw that the person who came was a kind-faced guy in the building, as if he had seen it in front of Aunt Hua.

"Oh, it turns out that the girl is here, but it's easy for the little ones to find it!" When the little guy saw me, he slapped his hands and smiled, "The master mother is busy sending you bird's nest at noon, but I saw that you were not in the room, and I didn't see you go back after waiting for a long time. What ...... are you? ”

"Oh, nothing. Since Aunt Hua is in a hurry, I'll go back with you. I followed the inquiring gaze of the little maid and looked at Duan Mingdao, "I still have some things, I'll come back to you later." ”

As a farewell, I went up to the fifth floor with the little servant.

I secretly thought to myself that I would see how Aunt Hua would tell her subordinates about their immorality, and when I opened the door, I saw Aunt Hua sitting at the table sipping tea.

She looked into the room along her dazzling purple and gold-trimmed cardigan, but saw a tall and sturdy man in military uniform under the sun slowly turn around, and when he saw me, he smiled brightly.

"Brother!" I exclaimed in infinite surprise, "Why are you here?" ”

Wen summoned me with a look of surprise and joy, and exchanged glances with Aunt Hua, and both of them laughed out loud. I stood under the door surrounded by warm incense, and my mind drifted back to that cold and frightening night.

The bloody breath in his thoughts overshadowed the purple oil Canaan incense in the room, and Xiaoyao's hideous and terrifying face flashed back in his mind, and the wind and frost sword seemed to be thousands of years ago in his previous life.
