Chapter 20: The Aftermath of the Catastrophe

Maybe I don't deserve to die.

The moment I saw Chu Hong. I knew I was doomed this time. He first ascended to the throne. The foundation of the DPRK and China is still unstable. will go to great lengths to sneak into Qinglu Temple. If I hadn't seen it fall off the cliff with my own eyes. He will not give up.

He endured humiliation for many years. If you don't have 100% certainty. We will never risk our lives.

A few days ago, the news of Daqi's victory came. The war is tight. The two sides are at a stalemate. Li Xuan repeatedly tricked the enemy to go deeper. Break the siege of the Southern Army. Before the battle, he killed three generals of the southern country. Beat the Southern Army to the ground. The camp retreated for more than a few hundred miles.

This battle was a tough one. Win hearts and minds.

Chu Hong is so anxious to get rid of me. I think it was the southern army that suffered heavy losses. He suffered from it. He did not hesitate to tear up the agreement with Qi Ao. Kill me again. Take this opportunity to vent your hatred for Li Xuan.

I remember when I first saw him. He is as gentle as jade. Calm and calm. He is a humble gentleman. In just over a year. The means are ruthless, and it seems to be a different person. The thirst for power has turned him beyond recognition. Cold and merciless.

Silence is still merciful to my men. If he kills me directly. Then I don't even have a chance of surviving. He knocked me off the cliff of thought. I don't want to leave my life and death to God. I survived. He did not die at his hand. But he had evil thoughts. Broken the Killing Ring. This body is cultivated. and it was ruined. After all, he failed the abbot's teachings. Gone astray.

Collusion with Chu Hong. It's tantamount to seeking skin with a tiger. I'm afraid that it will be difficult for him to get out. I have to continue to work hard for it. Fall into a situation where it's hard to turn back when your hands are full of blood.

The cave is warm and empty. There are two places for me. There are several fruit trees growing at the entrance of the cave. The fruit from the tree is tender and juicy. Just use it to satisfy your stomach. What's even more amazing. The road behind the cave leads to a clear hot spring. Can let me bathe and freshen up.. I stayed quietly in the cave. Because of worry, Chu Hong is suspicious. Someone will be sent to find my body. It's because I'm not in a hurry to leave. Fortunately, the entrance of the cave is lush with vegetation. Concealed the entrance to the cave. I'm safe for the time being.

Several times from birth to death. I have been like a frightened bird. Don't dare to act recklessly. Even if the cold-faced man comes back to the temple to look for me. Silence must have already covered up the traces. Plus Changkong was unconscious at the time. The cold-faced man is hindered by the abbot's affection. And how can it be silenced?

In fact, I should have been alert when Bai Yi found me. He can find out that I am in Qinglu Temple. It means that other centaurs can also be found quickly. I'm too careless. Yi Bai Yi's style. He left wounded. I will be left with the men to protect me. In this way. The news of my fall off the cliff will soon reach Li Xuan's ears.

I'm betting. Bet that Li Xuan will find me one step ahead of the cold-faced man. I don't believe that our fate as a husband and wife is so short-lived.

My mind went blank when I fell off the cliff. He has escaped many hardships. This time, all thoughts will be lost. Xu is the favor of God. In desperation, I caught a glimpse of vines growing on the cliff face. Survival Yuang paused. Desperately reach for the vine. The whereabouts are too fast. I managed to catch one. The sharp barbs on the vine pierce the palm of the hand. The palm of the palm is immediately blurred with flesh and blood.

The smell of fishiness and the sharp pain made me smart. Beneath him is a bottomless valley. If the valley is covered with rocks; Surely the death is miserable. I thought about it and clung to the vine. Struggle to wrap the vine around your wrist. Stop the whole person from continuing to fall.

In a hurry. The pain is not so strong anymore. Wait until I'm steady. I just saw a cave recessed below the cliff wall. Little by little, I moved towards the hole in the storm. Wet hair sticks to the face. In a dilemma. Numb with cold. Loss of consciousness. Climbing with only the instinct of survival.

before climbing into the cave. I couldn't hold it anymore and fainted. I woke up several times in the heat and fell asleep again. Wait until I'm hungry and awake from hunger. The afterglow of the setting sun *shoots* in from outside the cave. I've dried my wet clothes. I sat up groggily. See wild fruits on the trees at the entrance of the cave. cried aggrievedly.

I almost died. I will never see Li Xuan who thinks about it day and night. I was filled with emotion for a while. Tears.

That's how I lived.

Sunrise and sunset. And so it went for a few days. Sometimes I lie at the mouth of the cave and stare blankly at the bottom of the cliff. The cliff is shrouded in mist. It seems to be a fairyland. If I fall, I'm afraid I'll be crushed and my body won't survive.

Aftermath. My state of mind is more peaceful. I tore the hem of my washed robe into strips of cloth. Apply the liquid of silence to the wound on the neck. Tie it with strips of cloth. His medicine does work excellently. Within three days my wound was healed. The newly grown skin is pink and delicate. There is not the slightest scar to be seen.

In the dark. Moments before falling off a cliff. I also carried the Buddhist scriptures given by the abbot in my arms. I'll dry it too. Re-read this thin booklet. The mood is very different.

this day. I lay at the entrance of the cave again in a daze. There was a hissing sound in the sky. I peeked through the gaps in the leaves. Several goshawks wave their wings and hover in front of the hole. I refused to leave for a long time.

I was shocked. A look of worry appeared on his face. Did I guess it? Chu Hong really didn't give up. You have to see my body. Think about it. This cave is more than a hundred feet away from the top of the cliff. The entrance to the cave is very secretive. Even if it's looking for my corpse. Nor will you ever find this natural cave.

At least note. Someone who is about to find me. Won't want me to die.

There is a vague expectation in my heart. If these goshawks are Li Xuan's spies. Then Li Xuan should be able to find me soon. The thought of being separated for so long will be able to see him right away. I'm overjoyed. My gut feeling from what happened to me after he was gone didn't matter so much.

Naturally, I can't let him see me so disgraced. So I decided to take a good shower. The fountain is living water. A pool of water is clear and you can see the bottom. I immersed myself in the warm spring water. The whole person's muscles and bones relaxed.

Be in a good mood. Unconsciously hummed a tune. It's the song I often hear in my dreams. Fresh and pleasant. Tactful low back. The white palm picked up a handful of water and gently patted it on the face. Mind clear. Hear the sound of paused footsteps behind you. I looked back with a smile. The smile that didn't have time to put away froze on his face.

The look of surprise on his face stopped for a moment. Wait for him to react to what I'm doing. The color changes dramatically. Extremely unnaturally turned away. The back is very familiar.

I quickly lifted the monk's robe that was placed by the pool. Three or two on the body. Cover the whole person tightly. This scene seems to have been seen somewhere. I had a flash of inspiration. Blushing and said, "That day at the inn.." Shut up. The scene of the inn came to mind. It's even more embarrassing than this.

He walked a few steps away. Dressed in a black robe, he looked a little lonely. There was unconcealed joy in his voice: "I'm sorry for the fact that the inn happened. I didn't mean to."

I knew he was the man in black who sneaked into my room that night before I bathed. I'm not going to give him a good look. And is it important to deliberately not intentionally? I'm the one who suffers. I'm too lazy to argue with him. While looking at the water, he asked, "Why are you?"

The man who found me was him. I have an indescribable disappointment.--120939+djxds+21409669-->
