Chapter VII
It was afternoon when the uncle arrived, which was about the same time as the last time.
is a little different from what Canglan imagined, this uncle didn't care about the dagger, and he didn't even mention the dagger after he came. After Canglan took the initiative to mention it, he seemed to react, and he didn't even use it after getting the dagger, and just put it aside.
But the uncle paid special attention to what Canglan saw and heard along the way, and when he heard that Canglan was walking with others, the uncle's interest was a little higher. After listening to the whole story, the uncle asked.
"How did it feel along the way?"
Overall, Canglan is very satisfied with this trip, which is of course except for the runaway part. There are always things that make people feel uncomfortable just thinking about it.
"Didn't you ask me who I am?" the uncle picked up a book that Canglan usually loved to read.
Faced with such an abrupt question, Canglan didn't know how to say it, he did ask, but he didn't get an answer, and then after thinking about it carefully, there might be some reason why he couldn't say it, Canglan didn't think about it, and even if he knew the name, he could only call him uncle.
The uncle handed the book to Canglan, "My name is Fengchen." ”
Canglan is very familiar with this book, and on the title page of this book, the author's name is written - Fengchen.
Fengchen, he became famous with his books, but he never considered himself a writer. He also mentions more than once in the book that writing is only a record for him, and that publishing is not his intention. For Fengchen himself, basically no one has seen him, he doesn't know his life, he is like a character in a book, just living in people's imagination.
When this uncle said that he knew his master, Canglan once questioned it, but when he said that he was in the dust, Canglan didn't have any doubts at all.
Seeing Canglan without any surprise, Fengchen said.
"Tell me about your magic, kid. ”
Strange things are stubble after stubble, and Fengchen still knows about his magic powers.
Canglan didn't think too much about it, and 1510 and Fengchen said everything he knew about his magic, and at the same time added what he said to the girl when he lost control in the cave. However, after Canglan said this, Fengchen didn't continue to ask, Canglan was still full of expectations, thinking that Fengchen could show him a way, but Fengchen really just asked Canglan to say it. After that, Canglan tentatively asked a few things about magic, and Fengchen avoided talking about them.
Fengchen lived in Canglan's home like this, so Canglan moved to the workshop. On the third day, Canglan went to Qingyan Town alone to buy things.
The streets and pedestrians in Qingyan always seem to be similar.
Canglan bought some food at a familiar grocery store and went to the bookstore again. Fengchen said that he had written another book, and he had to read it.
When he arrived at the bookstore, Canglan asked the owner of the store, there was indeed a new book in the dust, but it cost thirty kuluns, which also cost Canglan the last money.
After buying all the things to buy, Canglan was ready to go home, just when he passed through the town, a portrait attracted Canglan's attention, Canglan took a closer look, this was a wanted post, and the person painted on it turned out to be Qishan.
Shocked, he asked the soldiers around him about the situation.
"This person, he has already killed the leaders of the three transit stations, and it seems that he was about to assassinate the Orsay chief of the Iron Wolf transit station, but he didn't succeed. But he can't toss for a few days, I heard that the Olympiad chief found a mercenary to find him, and it is estimated that he was arrested in the past few days. However, this man is also quite pitiful, and it is no wonder that he has come back to take revenge when he hears that several chiefs have killed their entire village. ”
Then another soldier poked him and motioned for him to say no more.
Canglan thought of Qishan and told him that the villagers were not there, and it turned out that there was this reason behind it.
Canglan returned home with complicated feelings, and at this time Fengchen was sitting at the door basking in the sun, "I'm back, have you bought the book?" ”
"Bought it. ”
"Read it a few more times, I wrote a book, read more than I can. Fengchen closed his eyes and enjoyed the afternoon sun.
After a few more days, Fengchen still had no intention of leaving, and at the same time, he didn't say anything about Master Canglan. However, Canglan quickly adapted to this kind of life, after all, it is better to have someone to talk to than to be bored all the time, and at the same time, Canglan also found that two people need to consume more food to live, which means that more money is needed to maintain life, and Canglan can only make more weapons to sell. Just when Canglan thought that this kind of life was going to become the norm, things suddenly took a turn for the worse.
This is the seventh day that Fengchen has lived here. But Canglan didn't know that since the wind and dust came, Canglan no longer counted the days.
The moon in the sky was very round, but a few uninteresting clouds obscured it.
Canglan was practicing his gun in the woods outside the house, but a thunderbolt suddenly fell from the woods in the distance, illuminating the surrounding woods and startling a burst of night birds.
"How can there be lightning in such good weather. "Fengchen also came out to see the excitement," why is the moon gone? ”
It is true that lightning is impossible on a sunny day, but there is one person who can do it, Qishan. Canglan remembered what the soldier said a few days ago, and the location where the lightning fell was the location of Qishan Village, Canglan realized that this might be Qishan in danger.
"Why don't you go and take a look?" Fengchen stretched.
Canglan glanced at Fengchen, and then put down the spear in his hand, Canglan still preferred the sword to the gun.
The night is slightly intoxicating, and Qishan likes such nights.
Ten years ago, it was in this place that all the villagers of Qishan were slaughtered because of a secret treasure in the village. At that time, Qishan didn't understand why he had to kill so many people just for one thing. When he grew up, Qishan understood why, greed, a very simple word, caused countless people to die. He wants revenge, he has been practicing hard, and the leader of the mercenary group likes Qishan very much and personally teaches him martial arts. Now, ten years later, he returns to this place, ready to kill the culprit who slaughtered his entire village, Orsay. For this, he even caught the threat of Orsay's son. But he didn't expect that Orsay didn't come.
At this time, in the ruins, Qishan stood next to the former well, confronting the two opposites. One with a gun and one with a bow. In addition, there were two people lying on the ground covered in blood, and they had already lost their breath.
"Magic Gun, I have no grievances or enmity with your mountain ghosts, why do you have to make trouble like this. Qishan said.
"There's no way, someone is paying you to die, and I can't help it. Moreover, if you kill our two brothers now, it is impossible for you to leave alive. The man called the magic gun said.
"None of the four of them are my opponents, and now there are only two of you left, what do you want. ”
"You're almost running out of magic, and if you don't have it, you're all you can do, Viper, let's go. ”
The man called the magic spear moved, and rushed towards Qishan with a spear. At the same time his spear is beginning to appear a lot of tentacles. Qishan didn't hide, holding the sword hard, just the moment the gun and the sword were on the front, the tentacles on the magic gun suddenly stretched out, Qishan had already known that there was such a move, and the sword body suddenly lightened, and directly forced back the magic gun.
The magic spear retreated, and at this time, an arrow suddenly shot out from the back of the magic spear, and the target was Qishan's throat, and Qishan drew the sword to block. But unexpectedly, the arrow turned out to be a snake made of magic power, and the sword wrapped around Qishan was about to bite his arm, and Qishan burst out with magic power, and the arm was covered with a layer of lightning, which scattered the snake.
The magic gun is here again. At this time, the black magic had already wrapped his arm and spear, and he came to Qishan, but Qishan still did not hide, and at the same time engraved two magic circles behind him.
"Thunder Wolf"
Two thunderwolves appeared in the two magic circles, and they rushed towards the magic spear at the same time. Behind the magic spear, the viper fired several arrows, and several poisonous snakes strangled one of the thunderwolves, but the magic spear was still restrained by the other thunderwolf. At this time, Qishan crossed the magic spear and rushed directly to the viper with a sword, the viper saw Qishan's intentions, and pulled out a dagger from his waist, Qishan's blow angle was tricky, but the viper was also very sophisticated, deliberately close to Qishan, and successfully blocked the blow.
At this time, the magic spear had already gotten rid of the thunderwolf's containment, rushed to support, and forced Qishan back. The viper took advantage of the situation to put away his dagger, drew his arrow and drew his bow in one go. At this moment, a person suddenly popped out of the woods next to him, and the viper was startled and immediately dodged, but the arrow had already shot and almost hit the magic spear.
"And helpers. The magic spear immediately distanced itself from Qishan and re-examined the situation.
Qishan also had some questions, "Why are you here?" ”
"My house is on that side, and you don't know it. Canglan rushed all the way, panting, "I thought you were asking me for help, by the way, you are now a wanted criminal, a celebrity." ”
Qishan smiled, expressing helplessness, and then said to the magic spear, "Now it's two against two, or we'll just forget it, what I'm going to kill is Osay, and it has nothing to do with you." ”
"It's beautiful to think, this hairy boy, we don't care about it yet. ”
The magic spear saw that Canglan's strength was average, so he wanted to contain Canglan and Qishan alone.
Canglan knew that he couldn't confront the magic spear head-on, so he chose to deal with the viper on the side, as long as he contained the viper, Qishan would have no worries when dealing with the magic spear.
The rhythm of Canglan's attack was not fast, in order to disrupt the rhythm of the viper, and over time, the viper also felt very annoyed, and took the initiative to attack Canglan with a dagger. Canglan's strength is not as good as this Viper, so in the face of the crazy attacking Viper, the Viper can only choose to defend.
On the other side, without the support of the viper, the magic spear had been injured in many places, and Qishan obviously had the upper hand.
But Canglan didn't realize that every attack of the viper was forcing him in the direction of the magic spear, and by the time Canglan realized it, it was already too late. The magic spear pretended to attack Qishan, but suddenly retreated behind Canglan, and when Qishan saw this, he immediately chased after him, but it was too late.
The spear pierced Canglan's right shoulder, and blood spilled all over the ground.
Qishan, who rushed to the scene, shook off the magic spear with a sword, and then turned around and stabbed it straight, and the viper couldn't dodge and was pierced through the throat by a sword. The dagger in his hand slowly took off his hand and knelt on the ground, blood staining his chest red.
Seeing that the viper was dead, the magic spear knew that he had no chance of winning, and turned and fled into the woods.
"Are you okay?" Qishan helped Canglan to sit up.
"Can't die. Canglan's left hand groped around his waist, and then he found out a bottle of red potion, "Mo Wentian gave it to me when I went to the Butterfly Wing Rift, it didn't work at the time, but now it comes in handy." Canglan smiled bitterly.
After pouring all the potions into his mouth, Canglan felt a sense of warmth. I don't know when, the clouds that had previously obscured the moon were gone, leaving behind a full moon and the icy moonlight all over the ground.
"Thank you for today. Qishan said.
"I'm sorry about the people in your village. Canglan looked around at the room.
"When I kill Orsay, they will rest in peace. But I didn't think of this brute, and he didn't even care about his son's life. ”
The son of Orsay is now in the well that has dried up.
Qishan helped Canglan to sit down by the tree. Canglan leaned against the trunk of the tree, feeling that the wound began to heat up, and at the same time he also found something strange, that is, his magic power was frantically gathering towards the wound, and then all disappeared, Canglan felt a chill in his heart, he realized a problem, this potion was consuming his magic power.
When Mo Wentian handed over the Canglan Elixir, he didn't tell him about this kind of thing about this potion that would consume mana, but just told him that it could heal injuries and save lives.
It's that familiar feeling again, the part of Canglan's heart about killing.
"Qishan, I'll go first. ”
The wound is healing rapidly, Canglan is about to recover, and at the same time, his desire to kill is about to be magnified to the maximum, if it weren't for the people around him, he would have already started to kill, and it is precisely because of the people around him that he can still hold the last pass.
Canglan stood up and walked into the woods. He was going to a place where there were no people, but there were animals, beasts. There must be, there must be!
Qishan didn't understand a little, and in this case, he didn't want to let Canglan leave alone, and the magic spear was very likely to lurk around and wait for the opportunity to do it again.
Sure enough, just a few meters after Canglan walked out, a black shadow suddenly popped out of the woods.
Just when the magic gun thought that it could catch the injured child and threaten Qishan, Canglan suddenly drew his sword and directly cut off the arm of the magic gun.
The magic spear fell to the ground in pain, covering his wounds, Canglan stepped forward, showing a satisfied smile, the magic spear was about to beg for mercy, Canglan pierced his heart with a sword.
When Qishan saw this scene, he couldn't help but shiver.
At this time, Canglan has allowed desire to dominate him. If you want to blame anyone, then blame the magic gun, who let you find your own death. Canglan thought so in his heart, and at the same time turned to look at Qishan.
"What's wrong with you!"
Canglan did not answer.
Qishan clenched the sword in his hand and stopped asking, his intuition told him that it was useless for him to say anything at this time. Canglan killed, the first sword was aimed at Qishan's heart, Qishan blocked with his sword, but the huge momentum still made him retreat several meters. Then, Canglan's attacks struck like a storm, each blow aimed at Qishan's vital points.
When he came into contact with the four of the mountain ghosts before, Qishan had consumed a lot of mana, and he was also injured, at this time his magic power was already very little, he had to use the last magic power to subdue Canglan, and he must not let Canglan look like this.
Although Canglan's attack was intensive, but the swordsmanship was not excellent, Qishan quickly discovered the flaw in Canglan's attack, found the opportunity to reflexively cut Canglan's wrist with a sword, and then picked up Canglan's sword, and then kicked Canglan in the chest hard, and Canglan withdrew several meters away.
The effect of the medicine was still there, Canglan's wound healed quickly, and Canglan also picked up the spear used by the magic spear on the side and attacked again. Canglan injected magic into the spear, and suddenly, countless tentacles grew out of the barrel of the spear, wrapping the spear, this spear no longer looked like a weapon, but like a life.
Qishan was very jealous of this weapon, it was completely different from the one in the magic spear before. At the same time, Canglan also gave up the previous attack methods of intensive attacks, and became cautious with each blow.
Qishan realized that he could no longer wait passively, and must take the initiative to create opportunities. After dodging an attack, Qishan saw an opportunity.
"Thunder Wolf"
Five magic circles appeared in front of Qi Shan, and at the same time, this also used up a lot of his magic power.
It's a gamble.
The magic circle was brilliant, and five smaller thunder wolves rushed out and rushed towards Canglan together. Canglan waved his spear and scattered the two thunderwolves in an instant, but even so, the other three wolves still bit Canglan, and Canglan mobilized his magic power to protect the three bitten places and was not injured.
However, this is also expected by Qishan, the thunder wolf is only used to contain it, and Qishan's real purpose is not this.
Seeing that Qishan did not move, Canglan realized that something was wrong, and then raised his head violently, and at this time, a huge magic circle was on the sky, and countless runes twisted in it.
This is Qishan's final blow, and his magic power will be completely exhausted.
"Thunderstorm Thunderstorm"
At the same time, Canglan also burst out of the magic power in his body, the black aura bathed his body, he broke free of the three thunder wolves, and strode towards Qishan, Qishan didn't have time to dodge, led the sword to block, the spear roared out, when the tip of the gun touched the sword body, the long sword broke, Qishan felt a burst of pressure in his chest, and flew out violently. At this time, the thunderstorm fell from the sky, roaring in pain, and then fell to the ground and lost consciousness.
Qishan got up with difficulty, spit out a mouthful of blood, and walked to Canglan's side.
Qishan knew that the blow just now would not kill Canglan, and his magic power was not enough to do that, but it was enough to make Canglan unconscious.
At this moment, the black shadow that had been standing aside left.
After a short while, the moon shifted a little, and Canglan regained consciousness, and at the same time he realized that all he had was consciousness, and he couldn't control his body.
"I'm paralyzed, and tomorrow will be fine. Qishan sat next to a tree.
Canglan recalled what happened just now, and self-blame and guilt came to him.
"Qishan, I'm sorry, I ....."
Canglan didn't know what the use of apologizing was, but he still did it subconsciously.
"You don't have to say I'm sorry, it must be that kid Mo Wentian, I thought he was a good person, but he was so despicable. ”
It turned out that Qishan thought that the reason why Canglan was out of control was because Mo Wentian deliberately gave Canglan a bottle of medicine that would get out of control if he drank it. Although it is said that the trigger for the loss of control is the bottle of medicine, this is not Mo Wentian's intention.
Seeing Qishan's misunderstanding, Canglan didn't plan to continue to hide it, so he told Qishan the ins and outs of the matter.
"And that kind of thing. Qishan was a little surprised, "It's the first time I've heard of the magic that can make people lose control." ”
Looking at Canglan's face full of self-blame, Qishan continued: "You don't have to keep saying sorry, it won't help, just control this magic in the future." Also, my swords are broken, so you still owe me a sword. ”
The sword forged by Canglan is now shattered aside,
I was full of guilt, but Canglan didn't know what to say. Qishan and him are actually one side, and two days of getting along can make the two call each other friends. What's more, Canglan seems to be able to see his own shadow on Qishan, because Qishan was also a swordsmith in the past, and the two will still have a strong resonance when they mention the past of sword casting. For Qishan, this feeling is even stronger, once he aimed at the swordsmith, but his own villagers were killed, he had no choice but to give up this dream, when he saw the vicissitudes, it was as if he saw himself who should have become a swordsmith.
After that, Qishan sent Canglan home, at this time Fengchen did not sleep, and Qishan mistook Fengchen for Luo Yao. After Qishan left, Canglan was paralyzed and lay on the bed. Fengchen sat aside and asked, "You killed someone?"
The magic gun was the first person Canglan killed, and at this time, Canglan could no longer control his suppressed emotions, and his eyes were full of tears.
"Uncle, am I not a bad person. ”
