Chapter 308: Cold Iron
The thin man was very asleep, and he didn't notice that I took the piece of paper from his armsβ³ For the cultivator, the thin man's vigilance should not be so bad, I didn't think much about it at the time, thinking that the thin man was really asleep. Later, I realized that maybe the thin man was pretending to be asleep.
Xu You and I took the blank paper β΅ went outside to the fire.
The two of us didn't talk much. They were on both sides of each other's hearts.
I pulled out the blank piece of paper, unfolded it, and held it in my hand.
I turned my back to the fire, like I was holding the curtain of a movie. He said to Xu You, "Go to the other side and help me see my soul." β
Xu Yu agreed, and then walked over slowly.
My heart was beating and I was nervous. I don't know what the soul looks like. Is it a human being or a ghost, is it a promise.
I swallowed a mouthful of foam and asked, "How's it going?" β
There was no sound over there.
My heart pounded and I asked, "Brother, did you tell me?" β
Then I put the blank paper down.
I saw False Promise standing in front of me. The whole person was a little stunned.
I asked worriedly, "How's it going?" β
Xu You moved his mouth, and then his body slowly slid down as if he had collapsed, and sat on the ground. Then he breathed a long sigh of relief: "You...... You're real. β
I felt a burst of joy in my heart and a sigh of relief. The tense nerves relaxed, and he sat down.
I saw Xu Yu sitting on the ground as if he had been emptied. I can't help but feel a trace of sympathy, and the previous thoughts of life and death have all vanished.
I stood up, sighed, and patted Xu Yu's shoulder: "How are you?" β
Fake Xu You smiled bitterly: "It turns out that I am fake." I didn't expect that I was a fake......"
I comforted him, "Why don't you take a picture of it too?" β
Xu You shook his head: "Or, maybe both of us are true." I don't take it, and there is such a thought. I took it, and if it's not true, I'm afraid I won't be able to accept it. β
I looked at the fake Xu Yu in astonishment, and couldn't help nodding in my heart, if I encountered such a situation, perhaps, I would do the same as him.
Xu You looked at me and said sincerely: "I know now that you are real, so I don't have any hostility towards you." β
I nodded.
Xu Yu thought for a while and said, "I don't know who I am. But I don't want me to be someone else, I want to be a promise, so I hope you can help me keep it secret. Only the two of us know about this. β
If Xu Youyi said this, I couldn't help but hesitate a little. After all, if Xu You knows that I have no ill will towards the Wushuang people, but I don't know if Xu You is really harmless to humans and animals.
Seeing that I hesitated, Xu Yu nodded reasonably. Then he said, "I understand your concerns, I won't force it anymore, tell them it's okay, it's okay......"
I saw that Xu Xu looked lonely, and it was clear that I was when I was frustrated. However, sympathy is sympathy, and I know that this matter cannot be hidden, otherwise it will harm us. When the time comes, it will be too late to regret it.
I looked at the beeping fire and wondered whether to announce it now, or wait until dawn when everyone woke up.
At this moment, suddenly, I heard the sound of rushing water.
I was startled and hurriedly followed the prestige. There was nothing around and it was quiet. However, the voice just now was too obvious. I and Xu You could hear it clearly.
The only place where there is water in this place is that well. Is there something in the well?
I took out my peachwood sword and walked over to the well. Xu Yuya took out the peachwood sword and slowly followed behind.
The two of us were standing in front of the dark well, one after the other, and a moment later.
The water inside was still rattling, but there was no figure crawling out.
I looked at the fake Xu You: "You say, is the demon road here?" β
Assuming that Xu You's courage was not much bigger than me, he said: "Anyway, this well is not normal, so let's fill it in before it happens." β
I nodded, "That makes sense, let's go find some stones." β
The two of us had just turned around, and when we turned our heads, I was startled to see a man standing behind the two of us.
By the light of the fire, I saw that this person was none other than Cao Cao.
I looked at Cao Cao and said, "You don't sleep well, what are you doing here?" β
Cao Cao sneered: "You two, you are so brave." This well is obviously wrong, and you, as cultivators, don't think about how to catch ghosts and eliminate demons, so you actually plan to fill the well. That's not quite right. β
I shook my head: "If you don't use the agitation method, I won't go down to see what you say today." Then I beckoned to Xu Yu: "Let's go, let's go and move the stones." β
Hypothetical Xu You stood on the ground, but did not move.
I looked at him strangely, "What's wrong with you?" Silly? β
Xu You shook his head and said nervously, "I have something behind me." β
At this time, I realized that there was indeed a dark shadow behind Xu You.
I boldly asked, "Who are you?" β
The shadow didn't speak, but I saw False Xuyu's chest bulge gradually, and then, a sword protrude from there.
The black shadow behind him actually pierced the fake Xu You with a peachwood sword.
Xu You coughed twice and vomited blood from his mouth. Then, he slapped him back with his backhand, I didn't hear anything, he shouldn't have hit the man.
However, such a slap made Xu Yu break free, and he took two steps forward, and as soon as he stumbled, he was about to fall to the ground.
I reached out and quickly held him up. He was lying on my arm. I saw that his back was already red.
Hypothetical to say weakly, "Put down, put down, let me sit for a while." Unable to stand. β
I hurriedly bent down and placed him on the ground. Spread on the ground and slowly regulate his breathing. I have to say, his body is better than mine. In just a moment's effort, the originally pale face had already regained a little blood.
The black shadow looked at us coldly and said, "Trespassers, death." β
Then, he rushed over with his sword in hand.
This sword is very murderous, quite different from the peachwood sword in our hands. This is a real weapon, a weapon born to kill.
Although this black shadow is not a cultivator, his kung fu is very powerful, and the murderous aura on his body is very heavy, although he didn't make a move, but my momentum has weakened by three points.
I didn't dare to fight against him, so I stretched out my hand to pick up the false promise, turned around and ran.
Seeing that the two of us wanted to escape, the black shadow didn't care, and with a twist of his sword, he stabbed at Cao Cao.
That sword was about to stab Cao Cao. Cao Cao shouted majestically: "Presumptuous." Do you want to kill me? β
The black shadow paused and asked coldly, "Who are you?" β
At this time, a voice came from afar: "Han Tie, don't you even recognize the master?" β
The dark shadow replied, "Han Tie only recognizes tokens, not people. β
Cao Cao waved his hand: "Dumb, let him see the token." β
The dumb man nodded, clenched his fists, and said, "Offended." Then, he walked towards Cao Cao.
I drummed in my heart: "Something is wrong. There are also Cao Cao's dead soldiers in this? We've come to Cao Cao's lair? Turning around, we still fell into their trap. β
I looked back and saw that Demon Dao was standing next to him with two apprentices. A calm and relaxed look. It didn't seem like a surprise that we were here.
There was such a big movement outside, and several people who were sleeping inside ran out.
Wushuang was stunned when he saw the demon and the dumb man. Looking at me standing on the ground again, standing weakly with blood on my chest, I couldn't help but say angrily to me, "Why did you keep vigil?" Something so big happened that there was no reaction at all? β
I opened my mouth and said, "It happened so suddenly, I didn't have time to react at all. β
Wushuang didn't speak again, and passed the fake promise. I looked at the wounds on his body.
Xu Yu sat pitifully on the ground, his eyes closed, and he gasped slightly from time to time.
I shook my head slightly, but I still hadn't revealed his identity.
I asked the thin man, "What are we going to do?" β
The thin man said disappointedly: "The demon road has more helpers, we have no chance of winning, let's take one step at a time, and wait and see what happens." β
