Chapter 240: The Past (2-in-1)

What's your name?

Zhang Xiao......

Haha, it's a lot of strength, come on!

Are you being hunted down? Hahaha, we are the people who do not abide by the rules of the rivers and lakes.

One day, you will ......

When Zhang Xuan woke up again, there were cold mountain rocks in front of him, shrubs from the Western Regions with short thorns, cold starlight sprinkled down, and everything in front of him was shining.

After taking a breath, there was a tingling sensation in my lungs like ice needles, and I subconsciously covered the position of the wound.

The last trace of the memory just now is still clear, and the captains of the Shenwu Mansion who were resting in the other rooms should have noticed something wrong, and entangled that guy in a formation, and then he probably rushed out unconsciously, confused, and didn't even know where he was now.

He had no armor on his body, and he held the rolled up flag tightly in his hand.

Zhang Xu slowed down his breathing, calmed his breath, and simply lay flat on the cold ground, looking at the starry sky above, the whole person was like a taut bowstring, suddenly released, and he didn't want to do anything for a while, dazed and powerless.

In the end, was he the only one who escaped?

What is the difference between the embarrassing result and that year?

He pressed his wound, the injury was not a problem, but the originally unstable state of mind shook violently again, and now in his brain, I don't know how many voices were whispering unconsciously, and the pain was like a pinprick in a sharp pain.

As a martial artist who once stepped on the level of grandmaster, he was very clear about his physical condition, with his current state, even if he could recover from his injuries, his state of mind that he had worked so hard to maintain would not last long, and he would naturally collapse and collapse, and he would lose himself at that time.

The perception of the self is mixed with the reflection in the mental world.

At that time, it was no different from dying.

This was the ending he had seen twenty years ago, but it was too much ahead of schedule at the moment, and it was originally ushered in after the spirit reflection in the divine weapon in his heart, but now, there was less than a month left for him.

The expectations of the year could not be fulfilled after all.

The goal that he had been fighting for for more than 20 years was shattered in an instant, and Zhang Xu could no longer find a reason to continue to act, like a corpse, lying under the starry sky, his heart even rose, and it was a good choice to usher in the end like this.

Such thoughts were extinguished in his heart in the next moment, and the tenacity he had gained after a long battle made him struggle to get up, not because he was afraid of death, and he had no purpose, but as a soldier who crawled out of the battlefield like a living hell, the instinct to live occupied his body.

The sound of the warrior's actions could still be faintly heard in the distance, and he couldn't tell whether the sound and movement came from the captain of the Shenwu Mansion or the elite of the Great Wilderness Village, even if it was the captain of the Shenwu Mansion, it was not impossible to be followed.

The man with the thick beard was likely to use the rest of the people as bait to catch him, and this dirty tactic would not hinder him in any way.

On the way, he encountered two people who searched for him in the Great Wilderness Village, Zhang Xu fought hard to crack the wound, and in the shortest time, he killed all the people who stood in the way, but this uncontrollable mobilized the qi, and the key point pierced by the dagger had originally begun to recover under the physical fitness of the grandmaster level, and it collapsed again at this moment.

Blood trickled down his fingers.

The dagger used to plot against him was obviously not a simple thing, just a few moves, Zhang Xu's breathing became rapid again, his vision became dim, and he walked forward with instinct, and was tripped by a fast stone in the night, and the whole person fell forward.

His vision was blurred, and his consciousness almost felt like he had been thrown out of his body under the severe injury.

That effect can't be around for long.

As long as you find a place and can survive that period of time, you can regain your original strength.

His vision began to lose its light from the edges of the surroundings, becoming dim, slowly spreading to every corner of the entire field of vision, and after almost fainting, he crawled forward with instinct for a long time, Zhang Xu completely fell into a coma this time.

It was a rare slumber in twenty years, this sleep almost made him almost forget his situation, and his consciousness was like the fine sand in the top layer of the desert, slowly sinking below, and the memories that had been suppressed below, churning up, appeared in his dreams.

It seemed like a never-ending road ahead, and the scorching heat distorted the air a little.

He was full of tiredness, and walked forward with one foot deep and one foot shallow.

I don't know when it will end, how similar it is to the moment, what I have been seeking has completely failed, the whole person has lost its value, and he is almost ruined in the rivers and lakes.

He raised his head, and the shadows in front of him were about to make an appointment, and he saw a few backs.

He subconsciously stretched out his hand to the person in front of him.

"Wait a ......"

Zhang Xuan opened his eyes suddenly.

In front of him was a simple room with ashes, the room was very low, and in his deep sleep, he stretched out his right hand, stunned, and then saw that the blood had been wiped off the palm of his hand, and there was a pungent smell of herbs on the wound.

His tense nerves relaxed.

It's a dream...... It's that dream again, but I can't see it clearly.

The room here is very small, there is an oil lamp lit on the table on one side, the light is dim, making people feel a little dizzy, he supports himself to sit up, look left and right, the decoration in the room is also simple, it is the appearance of an ordinary family in the Western Regions, a man who is also not young opened the curtain and walked in.

Holding a bowl in his hand, seeing that Zhang Xu had woken up, he walked over quickly, put the medicine bowl in his hand beside him, showed a smile on his face, and said, "Have you woken up?" ”

Zhang Xu's body was tense, and he could burst out at any time, but his face was very gentle, and he said:

"You saved me?"

"Where is this?"

The man dressed in ordinary people's clothes waved his hand and said with a smile: "Where can it be said that it cannot be saved, we have all met a few times, but we dare not take the word salvation seriously." ”

"As long as you're old and can't save it."

How many times have you met?

Zhang Xuan frowned slightly, seeing that the old man looked sincere, he didn't seem to be lying, his heart sank, I don't know if it is a person from the White Tiger Hall, or a character from the Great Wilderness Village, hiding his identity here, looking at it like this, he should not know what happened at this moment, so he will be saved.

Otherwise, I'm afraid it will directly kill him.

Come to think of it, the person in front of him still thinks that he has a prominent enough position in the Great Wilderness Village and the White Tiger Hall, so that he will come to help him, and he will take the risk of saving himself who is obviously injured, I am afraid that he intends to be able to benefit.

This is to disappoint him.

Zhang Xu smiled faintly.

Zhang Xu, who has been completely unable to fulfill his long-cherished wish, is in an indifferent state of mind at the moment, if he can die in the territory of Daqin, it will be the greatest luxury of this body now, and at least, he can't die under the hands of the Great Wilderness Village.

He supported his body and wanted to get up, the old man next to him handed over the medicine bowl in his hand, Zhang Xu sniffed it, knowing that it was a medicine that could replenish qi and benefit blood, thinking that if the other party planned to deal with him, he would just rely on his current state, even if he didn't do anything in the medicine, he couldn't react.

At that moment, he took the medicine bowl and drank all the medicine in it with his neck up.

With the fading of the bitter taste in the mouth, Zhang Xu's body gradually warmed up a little, and the old man poured him a bowl of hot water, the old man's wrists and palms seemed to be used to doing rough farm work, but if you look closely, the palms are quite slender, and when you think about your youth, you are not from an ordinary family.

This is also the same as Zhang Xu's speculation about his membership in the White Tiger Hall.

The old man saw him take a sip of water, and suddenly said, "After so long, I am really lucky to be able to see the adults before this body dies." ”

Zhang Xu smiled lightly in his heart and said, "Is you the only one here?" ”

The old man nodded, and said: "The family is in the middle of the road, it is rare to be able to escape this life, the old wife of the family has luck, go ahead of me, as for the children, they are all born and raised, not here, so only the old man is alone, he feels that the destiny has come, so he simply goes out to walk around to meet the wishes of the year." ”

"But my lord, it seems that a lot has changed over the years, and it doesn't seem to be going well."

Isn't it going well......

Zhang Xuan was silent, thinking that some of the comrades who were side by side back then were separated by yin and yang, and some were scattered all over the world, and the things that he had been begging for more than 20 years had failed in the end, and forty-eight people were more than lucky, although they were alive at the moment, they were just waiting for death, how could this just be said to be unsmooth?

At the moment, with all kinds of thoughts, I raised my neck and drank the water in the bowl, like drinking spirits.

At this moment, he suddenly noticed that the candle flame on the table trembled slightly, his expression did not change, but he secretly raised his vigilance, and when he saw the old man next to him looking calm, his heart suddenly froze, and he realized that he had made such a huge mistake!

The person in front of him is not necessarily planning to save his own life!

It is more likely that he discovered himself, and he was worried that if he made a rash move, he might attract the martial artist's instinctive counterattack, so he planned it, first pretending to save himself, and then secretly notified the rest of the martial artists to come and surround him.

Zhang Xu's expression calmed down and slowly drank the hot water in the bowl.

The sixty-year-old man next to him sighed and said calmly: "I originally wanted to catch up with you, but I'm afraid I can't do it now." ”

Zhang Xuan narrowed his eyes and said, "That's true." ”

Secretly has mobilized the last qi machine that can be used, only planning to be the first to kill, first kill the person in front of him, but saw the old man walk quickly to the side, squatted down and drummed a few times, Kara twice, there is moonlight inside, it turns out that there is a secret door hidden behind the wall, the old man turned his head to look at Zhang Xu, and said:

"Your Excellency, please leave from here."

"The people out there handed it over to me."

Zhang Xuan was slightly stunned, the strength in his hand did not explode, the old man did not notice his movements, turned around and took the big flag gun that Zhang Xuan had lost, and after handing it over, he was about to turn around, Zhang Xuan said:

"Wait a minute, ...... you?"

The old man paused, turned his back to him and smiled: "Ah, I see, you didn't recognize it, my lord, no, it should be said that it is the general, I just said that you are no longer the old man, in fact, I should feel more sad, we are no longer young." ”

"You, ...... you"

The old man turned his head sideways and smiled:

"Do you remember the scholar who refused to leave in the army and took half of your rations?"

"General, please hurry up this time."

"The six arts of a gentleman, although he is old, he has never forgotten it."

As soon as his right hand grabbed a mechanism next to him, the secret door hung down suddenly, isolating Zhang Xu, and then a noisy sound suddenly sounded from the other side, swords, smashing, and the old man's scolding voice.

Zhang Xu's body stiffened.

It's not the White Tiger Hall, it's not the Great Wilderness Village.

The reason this man saved him was because ......

The scorching flames burst out in an instant, enveloping the whole room and the people in the room, and someone shouted and asked who it was, and the old laughter calmly rang out:

"In Xia Zhong Jiayi, he is just an ordinary scholar."

"As for the rest, let's talk about it!"

Zhong Jiayi?!

Zhang Xu's body was like being devoured by thunder, and he trembled violently.

In my memory, a familiar face appeared rolling over, it was the timid scholar who was afraid of things, and his mouth was always just a scholar.

At this time, other organs in the house broke out, and the house directly collapsed, and the previous warriors of the Great Wilderness Village were defenseless, all of them were seriously injured, and when they were scolding, Zhang Xu, who was dragged to run around, took his life one by one.

He kept coughing, his eyes widened, he threw down the gun in his hand, and picked up the old scholar, who had no martial arts and was already dying.

"Why? To do so?! ”

Zhang Xu's breathing became more and more rapid, and his eyes blurred. The poison in the wound that could act on a martial artist of the fourth rank or higher spread to the depths of his body, and the state of mind that was extremely fatal to the grandmaster was shattered.

This is the most embarrassing time in these years.

Last time, more than 20 years ago, he was almost forty years old at that time, although he had martial arts, but he had achieved nothing in his life, the sect was disgusted, his wife and children turned against him, and when he walked on the road, he fell off one of his shoes and met those people.

After that, he became famous, divided the world, and he was in the position of the pillar country; The nobles of the family were all respectful and respectful, far higher than the status of the people they met back then, and they were served to him the best wine in the world, even the aroma of wine could be intoxicating.

The people I met back then seemed to be overshadowed.

But nothing could compare to that glass of turbid wine, because at that time he had nothing, and the whole world looked down on him, and those people were still willing to hand him their palms.

Zhong Jiayi's breath was already sluggish, and he smiled in surprise:

"Why did you save me? What, it seems that the general has had a really hard time for more than 20 years...... Ahem, back then, you wouldn't have asked such a question. ”

"The general of the Shenwu Mansion who pacified the world."

Zhang Xuan knelt on the ground, his shoulders trembled slightly, and in the world of mental images, one after another reflections suddenly rioted, and the reflections of living beings that were thought to be just instincts and had no meaning seemed to turn into whistling waves in an instant, and pictures flashed in front of him.

Ahhhh......h Now I can finally see the picture in my dream clearly.

"What's your name?"

"Zhang Xiao? Good name. ”

"We are Shenwu."

"The world will be calmed, hey, hey, I tell you, don't laugh, everyone is gathered under this banner for this ambition, for this ambition, death will not spin, we wait, at any cost."

The scholar who was only a crown year old danced with his hands, and when he was quiet, he looked at the distant sky, his facial features were gentle, but his eyebrows and eyes were unruly, and he smiled so arrogantly, as if he wanted to swallow the vast world in one bite.

At that time, he had lost everything, and it was the scholar who shared the same ambitions and dreams with him.

He has changed from Zhang Xiao, a poisonous dragon on the rivers and lakes, to a divine martial Zhang Xu.

He was extremely solemn in his heart, and promised: "As long as I am here, the banner of Shenwu will not fall." ”

"As long as I'm alive, Shenwu will still exist."

The scholar patted him on the head, smacked his lips, shook his head, and said, "That's not right, that's not right,"

"Thus shall thou say, Come, read after me."

Next to him, he leaned over his head and said, "What's the matter, I'll also make up a sentence, come on, come on, the big guys are here, there are fun things." ”

Someone screamed strangely, and shouted as if insulted:

"Put the damn heart, not pickles!"

"Wang Tiance didn't sneak into the kitchen, he came over."

In my memory, those people all came, gathered together, and the scholar with beautiful eyebrows and eyes looked left and right, coughed lightly and cleared his throat, and said, "Then, let me start the first sentence." ”

"By the way, this is the Shenwu Order, everyone has to listen to it, even if one day I am gone, you have to do it, as long as this is the case, it is still Shenwu, even if there is no longer a Shenwu Mansion in the world, the same is true."

"We didn't gather here for fame or profit, did we?"

The crowd in their memories responded in a deep voice.

Zhang Xu, who was no longer young, had gray hair, and was seriously injured, muttered, as if something that had been forgotten for twenty years, in fact, it had always been in his heart, his voice was weak and trembling, and he didn't realize that he had burst into tears.

"I only hope that the world will be peaceful in the four seas."

"We must hold the frontier and not give up an inch of land......"

"After the success, do not act in vain, do not be arrogant."

"Don't seek fame, don't use force for profit, don't use force for your own selfish desires."

"The soldiers of the gods and the gods do what they do."

"Fight for it, and die without a twist."

"This is Shenwu."

Zhong Jiayi was already dying, looked at the tearful Zhang Xu, and said:

"The grace of saving lives will be rewarded...... That's what I said back then, right? Oh, General, you didn't believe it at the time, and I didn't expect to have today's chances, and I have no regrets in this life. ”

"Ahem, the general doesn't have to be uncomfortable, a person like me should have died back then, but the general, for more than 20 years, I have lived well."

He raised his head and looked at the white-haired Shenwu general, suddenly returning to the light, his eyes were bright, and he smiled like he did back then, and said softly.

"In the world that you once desperately protected, you have survived well."

"Thank you."

"In the end, he is worthy of the name of Shenwu."

His breath was gone.

The gray-haired old man fell to his knees, his body trembled, his throat roared, and his fist slammed into the ground one by one, smashing out blood.

Thirty years of rivers and lakes, ten years of martial arts.

Then for twenty years, he still refused, unwilling, unwilling to let go of the old man of the previous era, and in the end, he finally lay on the ground, lost his original stubborn appearance, embarrassed, and cried.

"Ahh......hh

"What have I been doing all these years......

PS: Today's update presents............

Of course, a mistake is a mistake, and no one can forgive in place of others.

Five thousand two hundred words in one, the number of words is a little less, and it will soon explode.
