Volume 1: The Scourge of Extermination Chapter 22: Who did the twin-tailed scorpion provoke
Lei Yue was in a coma for two days and two nights this time before she woke up.
He was rescued by an old physician in his seventies, with a gray beard. When he speaks, he always likes to brush his beard, keep his face straight, and wear a gray cloth shirt, not like a langzhong, but more like a pedantic pedant.
No, the old doctor saw that Lei Yue had woken up, and hurriedly held him down, and while checking his pulse, he said leisurely: "The son is seriously injured and has just recovered, so it is better to be quiet and not to move, so it is better to lie down and recuperate." ”
Lei Yue was lying on the bed and saw this old man, while brushing his beard while leisurely checking his pulse, he had the appearance of a fairy wind and bones. But Lei Yue looked at him with his eyes closed and shaking his head, and always felt that something was wrong, but he couldn't say what was wrong.
"Doesn't Childe want to ask, who sent you here?" Seeing that Lei Yue hadn't spoken for a long time, the old doctor peeked at Lei Yue as if he had been holding back for a long time, and couldn't help but ask.
"Forehead ......"
Looking at the old doctor's mysterious appearance, Lei Yue was a little embarrassed, he seemed to know that something was wrong, and asked cooperatively: "Dare to ask the old man, who sent me?"
The corners of the old doctor's mouth curled slightly, and he quickly regained his pedantic expression, and replied with a straight look: "It is our young city lord, Fu Fengchen." ”
Lei Yue saw that the old doctor was obviously approachable, but he wanted to pretend to be profound, he was secretly amused in his heart, and at the same time he was puzzled, and asked: "Hey, I heard that the city lord of Feixia City is surnamed Xuanyuan, why does the young city lord have the surname Fu?"
The old doctor glanced at Lei Yue, very satisfied with his "upper path", and deliberately explained with a straight face: "Although the Xuanyuan City Lord is a relative of the emperor, he has never married in his life, and he only recognizes a very talented disciple as his righteous son, that is, our young city lord Fu Fengchen. ”
"I see. Lei Yue nodded, and fell silent.
"Childe, how did you get so seriously injured?" This time, it was the turn of the old doctor to be puzzled. A situation like Lei Yue, where a toxin invaded the internal organs and was covered with scars, and he was hanging on to his life with just a breath of essence, was the first time he had encountered it in more than 50 years of practicing medicine. At the same time, he also had to admire Lei Yue's tenacious desire to survive.
Lei Yue smiled bitterly and said, "It's hard to say, I met the Two-Tailed Scorpion King on the way here, and all the injuries on my body were caused by it. ”
"Two-tailed Scorpion King?!" The old doctor looked at Lei Yue with wide eyes, as if he had seen a ghost, and asked in disbelief, "Is that the fourth-order demon beast Twin Tailed Scorpion King?"
Lei Yue didn't expect the old doctor's reaction to be so violent, but instead said with some doubts: "Yes, is there any problem?"
The old doctor took a deep breath, looked at Lei Yue with a solemn expression, and said, "Do you know that although the strength of the Two-Tailed Scorpion King is only fourth-order, it can exert a combat power equivalent to the fifth-order in that Gobi? ”
Lei Yue didn't expect that the Twin Tailed Scorpion King would hide his strength when he fought him, probably because he was afraid of the Soul Devouring Sword. Thinking of the Soul Devouring Sword, Lei Yue suddenly asked, "By the way, old man, where is my sword?"
The old doctor's expression suddenly looked a little embarrassed, touched his nose, and didn't know how to answer for a while. When Lei Yue saw it, she knew that something was wrong, and hurriedly said: "Old man, that sword means a lot to me, if you need a consultation fee, I still have some silver tickets here, you must not use that sword as collateral." ”
When the old doctor heard this, he knew that Lei Yue thought that he had taken the sword as a mortgage for the consultation, so he immediately blew his beard and glared angrily: "Is the old man that kind of person?!"
When Lei Yue heard this, she breathed a sigh of relief, and said with a smile: "That's it, how could the old gentleman be high-spirited, how could he do such a thing." ”
"That's it. The old doctor stood up, put his hands behind his back, and said with great righteousness.
Faced with such an old man, Lei Yue was also a little helpless, and asked with a wry smile: "Excuse me, where is my sword, old man." ”
"Your sword ......"
"Grandpa!" Before the old doctor could finish speaking, a girl's crisp voice suddenly came from outside the door. As a result, when the old doctor, who was still righteous and awe-inspiring just now, heard this, he immediately became frightened, and looked around trying to find a place to hide.
Just when Lei Yue was puzzled, a sixteen or seventeen-year-old girl pushed open the door, walked in generously, crossed her hands on her waist, and said to the old doctor dissatisfiedly: "Grandpa! There are so many people outside, why are you hiding here and being lazy! Are you trying to kill me?!" While speaking, the girl did not forget to grin at Lei Yue on the hospital bed, and then continued to preach to the old doctor.
The girl is not tall, wearing a tender green skirt, dragging two long ponytails behind her, her eyebrows and eyes are clear, and when she smiles at Lei Yue, the corners of her mouth show two small tiger teeth, and when she crosses her waist to reprimand people, she is really cute and cute.
Lei Yue looked at the old doctor with a wilted head, her mood became inexplicably cheerful, the corners of her mouth widened, and she lay on the bed and quietly listened to the girl keep counting down her grandfather. And the old doctor, just drooping his head, didn't dare to make a sound, his heart was very weak, and it was diametrically opposed to the appearance of the fairy wind dao bone just now.
At this time, another person walked in at the door, holding the Soul Devouring Sword in his hand, and when he saw the scene of the girl counting down the old doctor, he laughed and said, "Yan'er, are you teaching Mr. Gu a lesson again?"
Hearing this, the girl stopped counting the old doctor, looked at the door, and called out in surprise: "Brother Fu, why are you here?"
Lei Yue looked up, only to see Fu Fengchen change into pure white clothes, slowly walked in, naturally put the Soul Devouring Sword on the head of Lei Yue's bed, and said to the old doctor with a smile: "Mr. Gu, please bring a cigarette, go out first, I have something to say to Lei Yue Gongzi." ”
The old doctor's expression darkened for a moment, and finally nodded towards Fu Fengchen with a solemn face, and walked out with Gu Yan, who was reluctant.
"In Xia Fu Fengchen, I have seen Lei Yue Gongzi. Fu Fengchen introduced himself.
Lei Yue took a closer look at Fu Fengchen, and saw that he was worthy of being the young city lord of Feixia City, with an extraordinary bearing, and his words made people feel like a spring breeze.
"I've seen the young city lord. Lei Yue sat up and leaned on the head of the bed, smiling and saying.
Lei Yue revealed his identity in a word, Fu Fengchen was not surprised at all, and said: "My father-in-law wants to see the legendary Soul Eater Sword, so he ordered me to take it back and take a look, and I hope that Lei Yue's son will not be surprised." ”
Lei Yue quietly glanced at the Soul Devouring Sword beside him, and said with a smile: "This life is saved by the young city lord, where can we talk about blaming or not." However, I'm curious how the young city lord knows my identity?"
Fu Fengchen replied: "Feixia City is the border city of the Yanhuang Ancient Kingdom, so it is natural to understand the people who enter and leave the city. A young talent like Lei Yue Gongzi, who is young and has the pinnacle of breaking the Dao realm, of course, needs to be more cautious. ”
"Oh?" Lei Yue looked at Fu Fengchen meaningfully and asked, "So, Feixia City secretly investigated me?"
Fu Fengchen shook his head and said: "That's not true, it's just that some time ago, someone sent a message to Feixia City, saying that a young man carrying the evil sword Soul Devourer will pass by Feixia City, and ask us to pay more attention." ”
Hearing this, Lei Yue frowned and asked suspiciously, "Who sent the news to you?"
Fu Fengchen said: "I can't say it." ”
Lei Yue looked at Fu Fengchen's appearance and knew that it was useless to ask, so she changed the topic and said, "The young city lord came today just to return the sword?"
Fu Fengchen shook his head again and said, "No, my father-in-law wants me to invite Lei Yue Gongzi to get together in the City Lord's Mansion after he recovers from his injury." ”
Lei Yue fell silent for the first time, he didn't know why Xuanyuan Si invited him to the City Lord's Mansion, but since the other party had spoken in person, it was not easy for him to refuse, not to mention that his family had a great friendship with the Xuanyuan family, and he was not afraid that Xuanyuan Si would be unfavorable to him. So, Lei Yue promised: "Okay, when I recover from my injury, I will definitely come to the door to thank you." ”
Fu Fengchen smiled: "Okay, we'll wait for the arrival of Lei Yue Gongzi." ”
Lei Yue smiled indifferently, not paying attention to Fu Fengchen's polite words. Fu Fengchen saw that Lei Yue had nothing else to say, so he hugged his fists and said, "Lei Yue's son recuperated with peace of mind and said goodbye." After saying that, he turned around and wanted to leave.
"Young City Lord, please wait a minute!" Lei Yue called from behind him.
Fu Fengchen stopped, turned around, and asked suspiciously, "What else is the matter with Lei Yue Gongzi?"
Lei Yue thought for a moment and said, "I have something to do, I hope the young city lord can talk to the Xuanyuan city lord." After speaking, Lei Yue told Fu Fengchen about the death of Chu Jiang and others in the Gobi, and asked him to tell Xuanyuan Si on his behalf.
After hearing this, Fu Fengchen's face gradually became solemn, and he said: "This matter is very important, I have to tell my father-in-law as soon as possible." Lei Yue Gongzi, in the next farewell. With that, without waiting for Lei Yue to reply, he left quickly.
Lei Yue silently looked at Fu Fengchen's back as he left, and his eyes dimmed a lot. After all, he still concealed the truth that Chu Jiang and Chu Feiyang were killed, and only said that he was attacked by the Two-Tailed Scorpion King and died, and his own injuries were also because of the Two-Tailed Scorpion King, and he escaped after nine deaths.
"Zheng!" the Soul Eater Sword unsheathed.
Lei Yue looked at the Soul Devouring Sword in his hand, the crimson blood groove in the center of the gray and white sword body, and the disgust for the Soul Devouring Sword in his heart deepened, it was like Chu Jiang and their blood condensed, shocking.
"When the Soul Devouring Sword is born, there will be demons and evil spirits. Lei Yue muttered alone, and he began to be a little afraid of this evil sword that the master had purified for ten years and had not cleared its evil spirit.
"Chu Jiang ......" Lei Yue leaned her head on the head of the bed, and called softly, her right hand was weakly resting on the side of the bed, and the skull on the Soul Devouring Sword became more and more rounded, as if there was a trace of vitality.
......
After Fu Fengchen returned to the City Lord's Mansion, he walked straight to the inner courtyard. When the guards in the mansion saw his solemn expression, they all speculated about what had happened to make their young city lord, who had always been known for his calmness, so heavy.
Fu Fengchen found Xuanyuan Si, who was leisurely drinking tea in the courtyard, and called out in a sad tone: "Father-in-law!"
Xuanyuan Si put down the teapot in his hand, shook the rocking chair made of grass and rattan, and asked leisurely, "What's wrong, with a sad face." ”
"Uncle Chu and Chu Jiang are dead!" Fu Fengchen replied bitterly.
Xuanyuan Si was stunned for a moment, and then smiled: "Don't talk nonsense. More than a month ago, Feiyang also sent me a letter saying that he was going to come to Feixia City, and he also had to bring that kid from Chu Jiang, and the time should be almost in the Gobi. Over the years, the Gobi has been swept by us for so long, those demon beasts don't even dare to take their heads, how can something happen to them. After saying that, he lay down again and continued to drink tea leisurely.
"It's true. Fu Fengchen said bitterly, and immediately repeated what Lei Yue said to him. As soon as the words fell, Fu Fengchen only felt a flower in front of him, and his face was shaved with strength. In the courtyard, except for the wind dust and the four walls, everything that had a body was crushed into dust.
An hour later, the twin-tailed scorpion king, who had been severely injured by the gray-robed old man, was found by Xuanyuan Si again, and without saying a word, he smashed it down with a punch, and a huge pit appeared on the ground. What's even more terrifying is that Xuanyuan Si surrounded himself with a grass sword, and the strong sword aura directly cut off one of the tails of the Twin Tailed Scorpion King, forcing it to go deep into the ground to avoid the furious Xuanyuan Si.
Where was Xuanyuan Si willing to let it go, and threw another punch towards the Gobi, the ground cracked, and the two-tailed scorpion king came out of the ground and fled south as fast as he could.
"Where to go!" Xuanyuan Si shouted violently, carrying endless sword qi and killing intent, and chased after him.
