Chapter 45: The Man in Black

Xie Qingning was in a mess, and hurriedly asked, "Uncle, is your poison really incurable?" ”

"Yes, I can't solve it," the old man coughed for a long time before it subsided, and said with a wry smile, it is a miracle that the old man can support this, and he should not force it anymore. It's just that...... But would you like to help me fulfill my last wish? ”

Remembering that he was still safe and healthy when he gave him cheats in his previous life, but when he came back in this life, he would be poisoned into his lungs and would die in a foreign land immediately, Xie Qingning's heart was terrified, and his voice was slightly choked, "Uncle said that is, Qingning...... Qing Ning will do his best to fulfill your last wish. ”

"Qingning? Your name is ......," the old man was astonished, and reached out to grab her wrist and asked.

"My name is Xie Qingning, and I am also a disciple of Xie Fu in Lanling City." The choked throat in Xie Qingning's words and the light of water in his eyes made the old man feel strange, and he tried to open his eyes, his eyes were as sharp as arrows, as if he wanted to see through her heart and make sure that her words were true or false.

Xie Qingning looked at him calmly, his eyes were clear, and there were no distracting thoughts.

The old man stared for a moment before slowly removing his palm, turned his head to look at the boundless night outside the temple, and sighed, "If it's really all providence, the old man thought that he wouldn't be able to see the young master, but fortunately, God has mercy, if it weren't for this, the old man would really die without turning a blind eye." ”

"What?" Xie Qingning couldn't hear it very clearly, so he couldn't help asking.

The old man didn't say more, but reached out and took out a roll of golden cloth from his bosom and handed it to her, "Since you and I are destined, the old man will give you this thing. ”

This was not the same as in his previous life, Xie Qingning remembered that at that time, the old man only said that she had good roots and bones, and she should be good material for cultivation, but her physique was deviant, and there was no one to guide her, so she delayed the introduction of the spirit into the body and wasted several years of time in vain. Therefore, on the order of the head of the Xie family, he secretly gave this secret book to her, and asked her not to tell anyone, so that she had to cultivate and not disappoint the kindness of the head of the family.

Seeing that Xie Qingning neither took the cloth nor spoke, his expression seemed to be stunned, and the old man coughed fiercely again, which woke up Xie Qingning in a trance, and she hurriedly reached out to caress the old man's back, wanting to make him more comfortable.

"Girl, I have been poisoned into the bone marrow, and I am weak to return to the sky, so you don't have to bother," the old man stuffed the cloth into her hand, reached out and stroked some messy white hair, and then reluctantly got up with the support of the door frame, looked at the night sky in the east and whispered, "Lord, your subordinates have finally completed the task you have assigned, so you can rest assured." When the words fell, he leaned against the doorframe, and walked away with his eyes open as if he were still alive.

Seeing his face gradually turn pale, Xie Qingning's body trembled, and he staggered several steps before closing his eyes and taking a deep breath.

She didn't expect things to turn out like this, if she hadn't come here tonight, would the old man have saved his life? Could it be that after the reversal of time and space, many things have deviated from the original track, making her unable to guard against it?

Xie Qingning sighed, and was about to settle the old man when he was suddenly enveloped by a powerful coercion, as if he had sunk into the mud, his whole body was stiff and unable to move.

Since his rebirth, Xie Qingning has never encountered such a situation, and his expression will inevitably change greatly.

There was a slight sound of footsteps outside the temple, and from her pupils, a tall figure gradually appeared, the man covered his head with a black hood, and he was walking against the light, and he couldn't see his face clearly. But judging from the body shape, this person is burly and must be a man. And as he approached the broken temple step by step, the coercion that restrained Xie Qingning became even tighter, making her gradually have the illusion of chest stagnation and difficulty breathing.

Although she couldn't see the face of the man in black clearly, she could feel that the other party's eyes were always locked on her, and that feeling was like being taken by a poisonous snake, like a thorn piercing her body, which was very uncomfortable.

Xie Qingning's heart was in turmoil, but he was secretly thinking about how to get out, so he heard the footsteps stop ten steps away, and the man in black seemed to look at him for a long time before asking, "Who are you?" ”

"I ...... I am a passer-by here, and I wonder what your intentions are. Xie Qingning tried to move his muscles and bones, but it was very difficult, not to mention that Feng Ningyu sneaked up on the other party, he couldn't help but be so anxious that he was covered in cold sweat, and a layer of fine beads of sweat appeared on his forehead.

"Oh? Passer? Isn't it the one who made an appointment with this old man? The voice of the man in black was extremely ugly, like a goose squeezed out by someone pinching his throat with his hands, which made people's scalps tingle and their hearts frightened.

Xie Qingning knew that he had met a monk above the least Yuanying level, and his own cultivation was not enough at all, so he could only give up resistance, looked at him calmly and said, "What was the appointment?" This girl was in a hurry to go back to the city for Chinese New Year's Eve, but met this old man here, he seemed to be poisoned, and asked me to help him send a thing to Xie Mansion in Lanling City, I didn't just listen to him after speaking, he actually went, it was really inexplicable. ”

The man in black looked at the dead old man, and then at the cloth in her hand.

For Xie Qingning, the cheats that the old man desperately sent to her have already memorized them, and it doesn't matter if she wants to do it or not, it is naturally to dispel the suspicions of the man in black in exchange for a chance to survive.

But she also knew that such a person was probably "better kill a thousand by mistake than let go of one", and she still had to find a way to escape.

"Really?" The man in black seemed to chuckle twice, though the laughter was grim and creepy.

"yes, you don't believe me?" Xie Qingning deliberately raised his eyebrows, and struggled to raise his hand and hand the cloth in front of him.

Seeing that she didn't hesitate, the man in black looked slightly flashing and seemed to be a little shaken, but he quickly asked again, "Then did he say that you asked someone from the Lanling Xie clan to give this scroll?" ”

"No, didn't he go without having time to say it?"

The man in black was silent for a moment, and finally slowly walked towards the broken temple.

Taking this opportunity, Xie Qingning tried to open his eyes and check his appearance, but found that he was still covered with a face scarf, and he couldn't see anything clearly except for a pair of eagle-like eyes.

When she was feeling regret, she suddenly heard a sharp cat meow, and a black light flashed out of the corner of her eye, and it was actually a black cat quietly rushing out from behind her, pounced on the man in black who was already only one step away from her.

The man in black was startled, but he didn't retreat in a hurry, but raised the corners of his eyes and showed a grim smile.

Xie Qingning only felt that the cold light flashed in front of her, and she heard the black cat let out a terrible scream, and she didn't have time to be frightened, so she picked up the black cat that was about to fall to the ground at the speed of lightning, and roared out with the power of Feng Ningyu, and fled for three or four miles like the wind.
