Volume 1 Corpse Mountain Ghost Grass Chapter 13 Life and Death in the Desert
Looking behind me again, I saw that Junzi and Da Zhuang were running towards me, waving and shouting something, but they couldn't hear anything from a distance of only two or three feet, and they were swallowed by the wind and sand in an instant.
I followed the frightened horse all the way through the dust, and I reacted quickly, holding on to the side of the car door tightly, but half of my body was already outside the car, and the horse was running faster and faster, and collided with each other in no direction.
I knew that the sandstorm must have frightened the horses to run so wildly, and I kept saying to myself, "Hold on, and never be thrown out of the car, because the Taisu Ancient Scroll is still on the cart." ”
I persevered for about a pillar of incense, but the predicament did not improve at all, and my hands by the door were already bleeding, but the carriage was still jumping from east to west. At this critical moment, I used my last strength to hook the burden containing the Taisu Ancient Scroll with my toes, and then let go of the hand that was holding the door.
In an instant, it felt like a kite with only a broken string, it was thrown out, fell heavily to the ground, and rolled over for an unknown number of laps in a row, and I didn't know where it hurt, the last action I could do was to hold the Taisu Ancient Scroll tightly in my arms, I couldn't stand up at this time, the sandstorm was really too big, the moment the gravel cut through the flesh, as if thousands of knives had cut it, I felt that the flesh had been cracked, and the mouth and nose were filled with sand.
I curled up on the ground, soon buried in the gravel, trying to struggle to get up, but it was all in vain, after a few struggles I was exhausted, just when I wanted to give up, a poplar tree appeared in front of me, I used the last of my strength, climbed under the tree to hide.
The flesh seemed to have been slashed by a thousand knives and drained of water, as if it had died several times, and finally, the sandstorm finally stopped. It was already dark, and the sky after the wind and sand was unusually clear. The stars shone on the desert, and I didn't know if I was dead or alive, and I couldn't move at all.
Suddenly, a dark shadow was slowly moving, what was that? Beast? In this desert, if you have just experienced a sandstorm and met a wild beast, it is really a game table, and you will be home.
The black shadow is getting closer and closer, it is a man and a horse, I am shocked in my heart, how can there be people in this barren place? I couldn't help but be vigilant in my heart, "Who! I was sure he had spotted me, so I shouted at him with all my might.
The man didn't talk, he led the horse, and staggered over, he should have been injured in the sandstorm, he walked closer, and finally saw clearly, the person who came was dressed in the Western Regions, short clothes and narrow pants, and he was also a young man, but he had a black scarf wrapped around his head, and he showed a pair of eyes, and he couldn't see his face, but he felt a trace of murder in his eyes.
Look at the jujube red horse again, that, that turned out to be the horse we pulled the carriage, no need to ask, he was the one who untied the reins, it seems that the encounter was not a coincidence, "Who are you?" I asked, trying to stand up.
The other party still didn't talk, but unhurriedly pulled out a short knife and stabbed at me, it was useless to say more, I could only cheer up and the guy to fight. As soon as I stretched out my hand, I knew that this person's kung fu was quite high, his pace was steady, his slashing was fierce, and his short knife was extremely fast, which dazzled me a little, but I learned from Uncle Zhang Jing that he was delicate, and the sword was dexterous, and he couldn't help me for a while.
But as the saying goes: double knife to see the step, single knife to see the idle hand, this person is a left-handed, the right hand is empty, this is not a good thing, just thought of this, the other party's right wrist shook, I felt a numb hand, the scimitar let go, and then there was a sore pain on the leg, plop fell on the sand, and then it was difficult to get up, this feeling I am familiar with, it is the feeling of being pierced into the body by the hard bristles.
When the opponent saw me fall to the ground, he picked up my rucksack, took out the Taisu Ancient Scroll from it, unfolded the animal skin and looked at it, with a smug look in his eyebrows, and then he threw the rest of the things back to the ground, the gold and silver in the rucksack were enough for his whole family to spend three lifetimes, but this person regarded it as a mustard, his purpose was too clear, that is, the ancient scroll.
"You, you are the murderer of the abbot, and you were the one who attacked us that night." I yelled angrily.
The man glanced at me contemptuously and said coldly: "That's right, it was under the attack on you, and a few of you are really nerve-wracking, but some things have to be made clear, the abbot master was killed by you." As he spoke, he slowly pulled off his turban, revealing his familiar face.
"It turned out to be you!" This person was the little monk who served the abbot elder, and I exclaimed, "Who are you?" ”
"Hehe, the status of the little monk is low, the law name is not worth mentioning, in my hometown, those who are familiar with the little monk are called 'flying hair monks', you should be able to feel it, right?"
"Flying hair? Kill the abbot, and the one who sneaks up on us is the flying hair. ”
The flying haired monk nodded, "In the hometown of the little monk, there is a kind of snow wolf in the holy area, the hair under the neck is thin and firm, and the most important thing is that it is extremely straight, it is the gift of the Buddha, and it can be regarded as a complete merit to be stabbed to death by this snow wolf!" ”
"Phew! What enmity does the abbot have against you? ”
"Stop, I'll say it to you again, the master was killed by you, the mission of the little monk is to monitor your elder Zhihua, and there is waiting for you to come, the little monk and the abbot master and apprentice for many years, not only has no grievances, but also admires the master very much, the master's death is just to drag you down, the little monk is just acting on orders, if you don't come with the Taisu ancient scroll, how can the abbot master pass away, do you say that you killed the master......"
My heart sank! To wait for us? How did he know that I was going to find Elder Zhihua, impossible, could it be that he was just lying to me, he had reached this point, he didn't have to do this, "Where is Elder Zhihua?" Did you kill you too? Who are you commanding? How many times have you tried to kill us, poisoned, or attacked, what kind of grievances do we have with you? "My emotions are out of control.
However, the other party seemed extraordinarily calm, "Zhihua, he is really a trouble, the little monk has monitored him for many years, but he has not found any clues, but he let him escape at a critical moment." He paused, and then said: "No, no, no, no, the person who poisoned your food is not me, someone wants to poison you, it was I who threw you a note, and I also helped you escape from Qionglin Temple, I saved your three lives, only take one from you, this is not much!" ”
I'm completely confused, it's so strange, the murderer who killed with flying hair is actually the one who handed over the note to save us? "So, who is the one who wants to kill us?" I couldn't help but ask.
He sneered and said, "Is it still important to you now?" You only need to understand that the little monk is not your enemy, the little monk and you are on the side, we have a common mission to protect the Taisu Ancient Scroll. ”
"Hahaha!" I laughed a few times, "The skills are not as good as people, if you want to kill, you will kill, this is the first time I have learned such a statement, master." ”
The flying fur monk sighed, "Alas! It seems that you still don't understand what your life and mine are for this ancient scroll, it's just a mustard! He said and rubbed the Taisu ancient scroll with his hand, and muttered: "But these are not important, with this Taisu, the little monk no longer needs to listen to anyone's instructions, the mission of the little monk is almost completed, the master, the disciple finally completed the mission, died without regrets, hahaha!" After saying that, he looked up to the sky and laughed, laughing so relieved and so presumptuous.
Suddenly, the laughter stopped abruptly, and the flying fur monk looked at the sky, discerned the direction, knelt on his knees, and recited the scriptures.
At this point, there was really no need for him to lie again, but I still wanted to be clear, so I shouted, "This, what is the use of this medicine book?" What is the purpose of this medicine book...... You're talking! Say! "But no matter how I screamed, the other party was unmoved, only so bitter that the big points around me were sealed, and I couldn't move.
After waiting for a cup of tea, he got up, shook his head and said: "I told you, the little monk has a low status and doesn't know much, I wanted to save you, but who told the little monk to accidentally find the ancient scroll on your body?" The little monk in the temple can't make a move, so he can only lure you out and let you know so much, and I am also grateful for your merit of guarding the ancient scrolls, and I hope you will be a ghost under the nine springs. With that, he raised his dagger and slashed at my head.
I closed my eyes, and my heart sank, and I secretly said that it was over......
"There is a mixture of things, born from nature, the three realms are one, only Fang Immortal ......" Suddenly, out of nowhere, faintly floated such a few ethereal sounds, although the voice was small, but it was very clear, the person who came used the kung fu of thousands of miles of sound transmission, and before the person arrived, the sound came first.
When he opened his eyes and looked at the flying hairy monk again, his face became iron-blue, cold sweat had slipped from his forehead, and he bit his lip and said in a trembling voice: "Gong, Gong, welcome the altar master." ”
"Hey, hey, Flying Hair, you seem to have taken the wrong thing, right?" The voice sounded faintly, not loud, nor angry, but extremely terrifying.
"What do you think, I've done so many things for you, but it shouldn't be yours." The Flying Fur Monk roared suddenly, but his tone was full of fear.
"Is that supposed to be yours? You shouldn't move, Feimao, brother, but now I can't protect you, the Dharma Protector is about to arrive, and you know his old man's methods. ”
Hearing the name of the Dharma Protector, the flying hair monk's body trembled twice, and he almost fell, this guy was a murderous master without blinking, how could he be so cowardly, at this time he collapsed on the ground, trembling all over, and sweat beads crackled down.
I know it's not good, think about the thousand-mile transmission just now, goosebumps fell to the ground, and the powerful lord like the flying hair monk was scared half to death, but it seems that there is a more ruthless protector who is a hundred times more ruthless, if he is caught, if he wants to die happily, I'm afraid it will be difficult.
