The injured person suddenly felt a pang of pain in his heart, and then a mouthful of blood spurted out. Nie Cang and Liu Ji were both startled, and Nie Cang hurriedly stepped forward to support the injured man and said, "Old man, your injury is really not light, let's sit down and rest first." The wounded nodded, sat down and began to breathe.

Liu Ji pulled Nie Tian aside and said, "We can't protect ourselves at the moment, so it's better to make less trouble!" Nie Cang said: "This old gentleman is seriously injured at the moment, how can we leave it alone?" No matter what you say, we'll leave when he's all right. Liu Ji was helpless, so he had to nod.

The injured man breathed for a while before he opened his eyes, and Nie Cang hurriedly asked, "Old man, how are you now?" The injured man shook his head and said, "I'm just afraid that I won't live long!" Nie Cang hurriedly picked up the three medicine bottles on the ground and said, "I just fed you these medicines, you can take more!" The injured man smiled slightly: "These medicines can only protect my life for a while, but they have no effect on my injuries." Nie Cang said: "Then how can I save the old man?" The wounded man sighed and said, "Life and death are fateful, and I can't force it, but unfortunately I haven't found it yet...... Alas! Nie Cangqi said: "What is the old gentleman looking for?" I can help! The injured man frowned and said, "You are looking for me?" Then he laughed and said, "Okay, okay!" Nothing can be forced. Nie Cang heard it inexplicably, and Liu Ji stepped forward and interjected: "Is it some treasure?" We will do our best to help the old gentleman find it! ”

The injured shook his head helplessly, and said, "It's not a treasure, but it's ......" The injured person knew that his life was short, and the only sigh was that he hadn't found a successor yet, where did Nie Cang and Liu Ji know, and Liu Ji also said what kind of valuable treasure it was. The wounded man said: "Go like this, you really don't see death!" The injured man glanced at Nie Cang and Liu Ji and said, "You two come here!" Nie Cang and Liu Ji immediately walked to the injured and sat aside. The wounded man said, "I may die in a while, can you two do me a favor?" In short, the two of you will not suffer. ”

Liu Jixi said: "Is the old gentleman going to give us that strange-shaped metal pillar?" ”

The wounded man nodded and said, "Not bad!" Then he added: "This metal pillar is said to have flowed from the tomb of Genghis Khan, and I don't know what tomb robbers actually succeeded." There are indeed a lot of unbelievable secrets in it. You got it, and you won't regret it. What's more, the two of you are so young, there are many opportunities to crack the secrets. ”

Liu Ji said repeatedly: "Okay, okay, Mr. said and laughed, I'm only twenty...... Twenty only! The injured person looked at Liu Ji, stretched out his hand and groped around Liu Ji's body, shaking his head incessantly.

Liu Ji asked repeatedly, "What?" Can't I? ”

The injured man did not answer, and suddenly found black spots on Liu Ji's legs, and asked, "What are these black spots on you?" Nie Cang said: "That's ......" Liu Ji hurriedly replied: "These are all I was born with, the old gentleman sees if I am born with extraordinary talents?" ”

After the injured person looked at Liu Ji's leg for a long time, he looked at Liu Ji's eyebrows and nodded incessantly. Liu Jixi said: "What? Can I do it? ”

The injured man shook his head again and said, "I touch your bones, you are at least twenty-six or seven, not very young!" ”

Liu Ji said disappointedly: "Really? The injured man smiled: "You don't have to be disappointed, I look at your eyebrows, you are indeed born out of phase, and he will definitely do something one day." Immediately rejoiced: "Really? How, exactly? The injured man said: "I look at your eyebrows, you are the face of a nobleman, and he will be crowned a general one day!" ”

Nie Cang and Liu Ji were both shocked and said, "Feng will pay homage to the marquis? The injured man nodded and said, "Yes, it's just ......" Liu Ji only heard the words "Feng General Baihou" in his ears, where to pay attention to what was just behind him, and laughed repeatedly: "I have long said that I was born with extraordinary talents!" Nie Cang asked for Liu Ji: "But what?" ”

The wounded continued: "Just wait for the right time. And it's not one person who can do things, the people who help you do things every day are all friends around you, and you need to be lenient to talented people. ”

Liu Ji nodded again and again: "Yes, yes!" The wounded man counted his fingers and said, "You must return to your hometown within a month, or you will miss the best opportunity!" ”

Liu Ji exclaimed: "A month? It's at least a month's journey from Beijing to my hometown, so I'll have to leave tonight! The injured man took out two strings of copper coins from his waist and handed them to Liu Jidao: "Go quickly!" ”

Liu Ji was overjoyed, and immediately thanked the injured person repeatedly, stood up and said to Nie Cang: "Xiao Cang, let's go!" Nie Cang shook his head and said, "How can we leave the old gentleman alone?" Liu Ji sighed: "This is also true!" The injured man smiled slightly, waved his hand to Liu Ji and said, "You go to yours, don't pay attention to me." ”

After a long time, the injured saw that Liu Ji had not left, and said to Liu Ji: "You still don't go?" He can't help you get done! Liu Ji said: "Then I will go, if he really shows Mr. Gui's words, I Liu Ji will set up a monument for Mr. ”

The injured man smiled: "That's not necessary, as long as you do good deeds and accumulate virtue in the future!"

Liu Ji immediately knelt down and kowtowed to the injured and said, "Liu Ji is gone!" ”

After speaking, he stood up, pulled Nie Cang and said, "Good brother, when he is developed, he will never forget you, brother!" Nie Cang smiled slightly and said: "That's your ambition, if you listen to Mr. 's words, I will have time to see you one day!" ”

Although Liu Ji and Nie Cang have known each other for less than a year, and the age difference is also large, the two have similar conduct, like brothers, and have always relied on each other.

After Liu Ji left, the injured man sighed lightly: "But looking at his appearance, it seems that I am not satisfied with the general at all, I am afraid that there will be many disasters and difficulties in the future!" ”

Nie Cang was shocked when he heard this, and wanted to ask why the injured person didn't make it clear in front of Liu Ji, but for some reason he never asked. The injured man said to Nie Cang: "If you want to be alone, find out the secret of this treasure." ”

Nie Cang nodded again and again, keeping it in mind.

The injured person began to touch Nie Cang's bones, and after touching them, he said: "I just touched the bones for you, although you are far from the wizard I am looking for, but your bones are peculiar, and they are rare in the world." ”

The injured man looked around and said, "It's night now, I guess there won't be anyone here, let's start here!" Nie Cang nodded, and sat cross-legged in front of him according to the wounded's instructions, and the injured said to Nie Cang: "It may be quite painful for a while, you need to endure it, even if there is a heart-piercing pain, you must not shout!" ”

Nie Cangqi said: "Give me the metal pillar, will it hurt so much?" ”

The injured man frowned and said: "I know some of the secrets, if you can't stand it, it's too late to regret it at this moment!" ”

Nie Cang said continuously: "No, no, I didn't mean that!" ”

The wounded man nodded and said, "That's good!" Saying that his hands were lucky, he put his hands on Nie Cang's shoulders, and Nie Cang's body sank down slightly. Then the injured person slapped the metal pillar on Nie Cang's body, and Nie Cang suddenly felt an invisible pressure on his chest, and he couldn't let go. The injured man said softly: "Don't resist, let it be!" Nie Cang immediately unloaded all the strength in his body, and followed the direction of the breath in his body, feeling a warm current flow from his chest to his whole body from time to time.

Nie Cang suddenly felt that his whole body was floating into the air, like clouds and mist, roaming the sky; Suddenly, his body was cold, and he seemed to have come to the far north, in the ice and snow, and his whole body was shivering; For a while, it was as if he had come to a sea of fire purgatory, his whole body was scorching and unbearable, and his sweat was like rain. From time to time, my brain is already muddy, I don't know where I am, I only know that I am hot, cold, empty, and sea, and my internal organs are as if they have been turned over, and I am nauseous and uncomfortable for a while, and I am extremely comfortable for a while. After a long time, my mind gradually cleared up, and I realized that I was already soaking wet.

The injured person had already withdrawn his palm at this moment and was sitting cross-legged on the side, causing Nie Cang to open his eyes. When Nie Cang opened his eyes, he saw that the injured person's face was also sweating profusely, and he couldn't stop dripping onto his body, and his face was as white as a cloud at the moment, and his lips were purple. Nie Cang asked the injured repeatedly, "Old man, what's wrong with you?" ”

The injured man waved his hand and smiled: "This pillar is very strange, it recognizes people!" It's just that if I recognize you, I will die. ”

Nie Cang couldn't help but be taken aback when he heard this, and said in a lost voice: "How can this be? If...... If...... I knew it would be the outcome, and I wouldn't say yes to anything. ”

Saying that, he couldn't help but shed tears, although Nie Cang said that he had just met the injured today, but after all, since he could remember, others had either beaten him or scolded him, no one could afford him, except for Liu Ji, there were no relatives, and I am afraid that there was only one injured person who was so good to him.

The injured man smiled slightly, stroked Nie Cang's head and said, "Silly boy, I just won't give it to you, and you will still die if you can't survive tonight." Nie Cang knelt on the ground, kowtowed to the injured man again and again, and said, "Old man...... No, the great kindness of the master will never be forgotten! The injured man shook his head and said, "Time really doesn't allow it, and I can't be your master." ”

Nie Cang sobbed and said, "The master is enough for a lifetime of apprenticeship......

The injured man nodded and said: "I saw that you are kind by nature, this is for you, if you make good use of it, after all, he will have a great deed, if he does evil, I will not be blind under Jiuquan, and I can only blame myself for my ......vision" said and couldn't help but sigh.

Nie Cang choked. After a long time, there was no movement of the injured person, Nie Cang was shocked, and hurriedly looked up, but saw that the injured person had already closed his eyes. Nie Cang stretched out his hand to test the injured person's snort, but found that the injured person had already lost his breath. Nie Cang felt sad in his heart, and he hugged the body of the injured and became silent and painful.

After a long time, Nie Cang knelt down in front of the injured and kowtowed to him a few times, then carried the body of the injured to the earth pit and said, "Master, the apprentice will bury you here first." ”

As he spoke, he dug a pit and buried it. At this time, I realized that I didn't even know the name of the injured person, and I couldn't help but cry again, and engraved on the wooden tablet: "Nie Cang's tomb!" ”

Nie Cang knelt in front of the tomb of the injured for a long time, and said in his heart: "Master, Nie Cang will complete the task entrusted by the master to the apprentice." At night, Nie Cang unconsciously slept on the grave of the injured all night, although it was winter, but Nie Cang didn't feel the slightest cold, and even the body and face that were injured by the turtles in the Spring Garden Building yesterday had healed. Before he knew it, he had already guarded the mausoleum for the injured all night, and Nie Cang came to his senses again and the sky was already bright. Unexpectedly, a tree fell around the tomb of the injured person.
