Chapter 105: Farewell
Xie Yundu said that it was lively, but it was not easy in his heart.
The weight of the body between his arms was surprisingly light, and Xie Yundu didn't know if it was really because of the Crane Clan or something else. What's more, Xie Yundu had already found that his expression had never changed from before to now—this situation had already started before Ji Mu came over.
Xie Yundu felt that it was wrong. No matter how much he didn't want to pay attention to it, he had to give a look and a look at the chickens and dogs jumping around, right? But this person just didn't react. Xie Yundu felt that he really couldn't hear, see, or feel like this—and that explained why the blood pact with absolute constraints didn't work just now.
Although Xie Yundu didn't know the reason, he looked at Ji Mu as if he hadn't noticed it, and thought to himself that it was really possible to take the opportunity to save someone. He didn't know much about the Blood Pact, so what if it didn't work if he was far away?
With this kind of thought, after Lao Bai chased after him, Xie Yundu put the person on the tiger's back and stabilized it, looked at each other with one person and one tiger, and ran out of several mountains in one breath before slowing down.
"Now people have robbed him," Lao Bai asked him, "what are you going to do?"
Xie Yundu said: "I don't know either!"
Lao Bai was angry when he heard this, and buried him and said, "What did you just go crazy about, you have to make trouble." We don't know this person, and we ignore you! I don't think he was anything wrong with Ji Mu, if you save him, maybe people won't be happy with you!"
“...... I can't tell, but at first glance I felt that this person was wrong. Xie Yundu motioned to Lao Bai to stop first, "Don't you think he's particularly light and doesn't match his body type?"
"I don't think so!" Lao Bai snorted and said, "Those demon bones flying in the sky are very light, and I will blow them away in one breath." And he said, "Is this man stupid?
Xie Yundu ignored the tiger. He lifted the man flat on the ground and crouched down to examine his sideburns and the side of his neck.
Lao Bai said: "Do you think he has changed his face?"
"Isn't this nonsense!" Xie Yundu frowned and tried to find traces, and said, "If it is really an insignificant ordinary little crane demon, Ji Mu can be so tight? ”
Lao Bai pointed out: "Didn't he just cut it directly?"
"That's a fake!" Xie Yundu didn't want to talk to him, and continued with a long sigh: "And you see that this person's aura is so weak, either he is seriously injured or his cultivation is locked - but he has already won the blood contract, and he can still make Ji Mu so guarded, it can be seen that he is definitely not idle!"
Lao Bai was stunned when he heard this, and said in surprise: "When did you think about it so much?"
"I haven't finished talking yet," Xie Yundu touched the snow-white robe on the young man's body and said, "Although it's winter now, who is still afraid of the cold among cultivators?" You see that he has a robe and a stove...... You must know that even if he cultivates to be sealed, he will naturally protect his body, and he will never be afraid of cold, so it can be seen that he must be quite seriously injured. But there is not a single scar visible from the exterior - it must be a fake!"
Lao Bai suddenly fell silent. Undoubtedly, he also thought of something.
"And the things that Ji Mu gave him are all things that we don't usually use, so they are newly prepared—and the preparation is quite fine," Xie Yundu became more and more determined, and continued: "Ji Mu is not a person who can be kind, so it can only be that Ji Mu values him too much...... Even the subconscious is asking for him!"
"Lao Xie, why do I suddenly think you're a little scary!" Lao Bai muttered, "If it's really ...... Is there any other way for you to confirm?"
Xie Yundu took a deep breath, pressed the apprehension in his heart, and reached out to probe the young man's wrist.
Lao Bai held his breath and waited for Xie Yundu to speak, but he was silent for a long time, and he was anxious to turn into a human body - but it was a little boy with snow-white body and light blue eyes, and he directly grabbed the young man's other wrist with his white little fleshy hand.
As a result, he himself didn't move for a long time, and he glanced at Xie Yundu for a long time, not knowing whether to be happy or disappointed.
The pulse is very normal, or rather—it's too normal, it feels like an ordinary weakness after an ordinary injury, and it is completely consistent with the breath of this body, and it doesn't leak a flaw. Xie Yundu and Lao Bai couldn't find a trace of familiarity.
"Maybe you're too careful. Lao Bai said.
Xie Yundu was a little depressed and said, "Maybe." ”
At this moment-
The young man, who had been unresponsive to the outside world, suddenly struggled slightly, his eyebrows appeared in pain, and his breathing became involuntarily short.
"What did you do?!"
Xie Yundu and Lao Bai blurted out at the same time and looked up at each other.
“...... Not me!"
- Again, in unison.
Xie Yundu was stunned, and his heart sank suddenly-it must be Ji Mu doing something with the blood contract!
But it's useless to think about it.
With just these two sentences, the situation of young people has taken a sharp turn for the worse.
Xie Yundu watched as the nick on his eyebrows quickly spread with blood, rolling down along his eyebrow bone, drawing a slanting red line. As if because of the unbearable pain, he subconsciously wanted to use his hand to hold on to something, Xie Yundu hurriedly handed over his arm, but felt that the hand was so light that it was almost powerless, just like even if he struggled with all his strength, it was just that.
"What to do, what to do, what to do......"
Xie Yundu panicked, but Lao Bai couldn't help it. The two of them hurriedly propped up the young man's body, Xie Yundu took out one hand and pressed his heart, trying to stabilize his breath as much as possible, but the next moment he froze suddenly-
He doesn't feel anything!
The young man's entire body seemed to be shrouded in an invisible fog, and Xie Yundu had obviously put his palm behind his heart at this moment, but he couldn't feel his true power at all, only an empty space. Under such circumstances, how could Xie Yundu dare to instill his true power into it? It would be strange if it wasn't a bad thing!
"Sure enough, it's fake!" Lao Bai also found out at this time, and exclaimed: "His breath is so unstable now, and his pulse is exactly the same as just now!"
No matter how clever the illusion is, it is impossible to completely transform a person from the inside out, there are always flaws.
But Xie Yundu couldn't think about that at the moment.
The blood in the center of the young man's eyebrows was still dripping, but Xie Yundu found that his expression had changed slightly-the weakness that had just been revealed by surprise had all disappeared, and his body movements were extremely restrained, if it weren't for the cold sweat that constantly oozed from his forehead, Xie Yundu would almost have thought that the matter had passed.
— but it shows that he is still conscious.
"You, can you hear me?" Xie Yundu asked repeatedly in his ear, but never received any response. By now, his situation was clearly worse than before.
"What to do...... What should I do?!" Xie Yundu almost bit out his teeth and slammed his fist on the ground, roaring in a low voice: "Ji Mu, fuck your mother!"
"He's forcing us to put ...... Send him back. Lao Bai said in a low voice.
Xie Yundu said with red eyes and hatred: "Do his spring and autumn dreams!" But his hands clenched involuntarily, and he didn't know that his nails were pinched into the flesh.
Could it really be that he could only follow Ji Mu's wishes and send people back like this? Xie Yundu felt unbearable as long as he thought about it. But if you don't send him, will you just watch people suffer in vain? But if you send him back, it will only be to ask for a moment of peace, if it goes on like this......
From the beginning of the ancient battlefield to the present, Xie Yundu has hated his powerlessness many times.
And this time he still had no choice.
......
......
Time goes back a moment ago.
After realizing that it was impossible for him to catch up with Xie Yundu and them, Ji Mu was not angry at all, because he had a way to let them come back obediently.
"Lu Qiming, do you really dare to leave?" Ji Mu laughed to himself, a touch of gloom flashed in his eyes, "You forced me." ”
When the words fell, he did not hesitate to use the heaviest level of punishment of the blood contract.
Mo Chan chased after him, and when she saw his expression, she secretly said that it was not good, and blurted out one after another: "Do you know the severity? If he continues like this, he will die! I am not joking!"
"Die and die. Ji Mu turned around and smiled coldly, "Either come back or die, nothing else." ”
Mo Chan was speechless for a while. She could see that Ji Mu was serious.
She only felt a feeling of weakness in her heart, and muttered, "This time...... Alas, that's not something he can decide!"
"And then—"
Before he finished his sentence, he paused stiffly. Ji Mu stopped for a long time before stumbling on: "...... How, how. The tone was already so weak that it was almost silent.
Mo Chan had never heard Ji Mu speak in this voice, and when she looked up in surprise, she saw Ji Mu standing in place, his face changing back and forth, and gradually melting into a strange expression mixed with surprise, suddenness, shame and weakness, his whole face was slightly red, and the previous ruthlessness disappeared in an instant-Mo Chan almost thought that this Ji Mu was dropped by someone.
What's going on?
Mo Chan was about to die of curiosity, but she could only wait at this time.
Ji Mu was using his divine sense to communicate with Lu Qiming, to be precise, he should be listening to him-because just after Lu Qiming asked the first sentence, Ji Mu was a little overwhelmed.
What he asked was, "Is it all over there?"
At that time, Ji Mu was stunned and frowned, "What is this side and that?"
"How long have you been back?" Lu Qiming's voice was a little helpless, and he said, "I don't know." ”
Ji Mu was completely dazed, "What do you mean?" Then his pupils narrowed, and he suddenly thought of something, and muttered in disbelief: "You...... You can't feel what's going on outside? Why don't you ......?"
What came to Ji Mu's mind was the strangeness that appeared after he used his supernatural power for the first time in the previous battle.
At that time, all his perceptions disappeared in unison, and he was unable to communicate with anyone, except Lu Qiming. Later, Lu Qiming helped him solve that trouble, but Ji Mu didn't know what method he used. He only knew that there were no taboos when he used his supernatural powers again, and he didn't feel any discomfort again.
Don't......
The so-called method is actually just Lu Qiming's transfer of the supernatural power to himself?!
Ji Mu opened his mouth, not knowing what to say, but hesitated before asking.
"Yes, there was no other way. Lu Qiming roughly explained the reason.
"You ......" Ji Mu didn't actually listen, but said, "Can you still recover?"
"Yes. It will take some time, though. Lu Qiming said lightly: "If you don't make trouble for me, you can hurry up." ”
Only then did Ji Mu realize that the punishment of the blood contract was still continuing, and he hurriedly stopped here with a red face. Who called Lu Qiming's voice was so ordinary, he couldn't hear anything unusual, he forgot about it just now!
The words sorry passed through my throat, but I was swallowed back. Ji Mu was annoyed: "Can you say it earlier next time!"
Lu Qiming responded casually and asked again: "What happened a moment ago?"
Thinking about it now, Ji Mu felt a little embarrassed, and said gloomily: "Xie Yundu came over and snatched you and left, and now I don't know where to go." ”
Lu Qiming knew that there was nothing surprising about this. He said, "Since you have used the blood contract, he will definitely send me back to my place when he sees it, just wait." ”
"Really?" Ji Mu frowned, remembered something again, and said suspiciously: "Then I stopped punishing now, didn't he think that he was lucky and had to go away again?"
"Otherwise, I'll still ......" Ji Mu hesitated: "Lu Qiming, how long can you hold on?"
Lu Qiming asked, "Are you asking how long I can be punished without dying?"
Ji Mu thought like this, but he didn't think it was good to say it directly, so he hummed sullenly.
Lu Qiming glanced at the Chengyuan Split Soul who was trapped under the blood contract mark in the sea of knowledge, his expression was a little playful, and his tone still did not fluctuate, and he said flatly: "It is still very difficult to disperse the soul, at least three days and three nights. Just talking about physical death is much shorter, it takes about a quarter of an hour - this time is actually enough, but it also takes effort for me to maintain the illusion here, if you continue for another five breaths, Xie Yundu and they will see my true body. ”
Ji Mu felt a little embarrassed inexplicably, and pretended not to care very much and said, "Then forget it...... How long will it take you to regain consciousness?"
Lu Qiming said: "Immediately." ”
"That's good," Ji Mu replied quickly, "When you tell me the location, I'll go look for you." ”
......
......
The warmth and absence of wind around you is an incredible thing at this time of winter.
Lu Qiming opened his eyes and saw two faces that could not hide his panic, they were Xie Yundu and a ...... The white-haired and blue-eyed child must be the human body of the white tiger, but he didn't expect it to be like this.
"Scaring you, right?" Lu Qiming had a very shallow smile in his voice, and his tone was soft, "Please help me up." ”
"Okay......" Xie Yundu looked at him blankly, subconsciously responded first, and then completely reacted, and hurriedly reached out to cushion his back, and carefully helped him to sit up.
Lu Qiming couldn't help but say, "Actually, it's not like this. ”
Xie Yundu's lips moved, and he couldn't speak.
Lu Qiming retracted his gaze, took out the commonly used gold needle from the ring, tested the strength with his fingers, and then changed it to a silver needle, raised his hand and pierced it into the acupuncture point behind the ear, led the blood stasis out, and wiped it clean.
Xie Yundu stared at his every movement, looking at the back of his silver needle behind his ear, it was still a false clean, not even the slightest pinhole, he no longer disguised that it was an illusion.
"Can you tell me," Xie Yundu looked at him almost beggingly, "who are you?"
Lu Qiming raised his head slightly and swallowed a red pill, paused for a while, and said calmly: "I don't want to lie to you, so don't ask again." ”
In an instant, Xie Yundu exhausted all his strength. His gaze swept between Lu Qiming's eyebrows, and then he avoided it painfully, gritting his teeth, "...... I don't believe it!"
Lu Qiming just smiled.
He looked sideways at the little boy beside him and quipped: "This is also the first time we have met, what is the name of this 'Xiaobai'?"
"It's 'Lao Bai'. The boy corrected, and when he saw him laughing, he sighed again, "But now...... Xiaobai is Xiaobai!"
Lu Qiming raised his hand and touched his silky snow-white hair, and said with a slight smile: "It's also good." ”
Xie Yundu looked at this scene and turned around suddenly.
After being silent for a long time, he reluctantly suppressed his voice and asked, "You must have a way, right?" Without waiting for Lu Qiming to answer, Xie Yundu said to himself: "You must already have a complete plan! What else can I do? I will definitely not be wrong again this time...... Absolutely not!"
Lu Qiming sighed and said with a smile: "People are the most rare to be at ease. If you can jump out, don't come in again. ”
"What are you talking about?!I, I really ......!" Xie Yundu wanted to grab his shoulders and question him loudly, but in the end, he could only calm himself down.
Xie Yundu turned around to look at him, his fingers slowly covered the scabbard, and said word by word: "When Ji Mu comes, I will kill him." ”
Lu Qiming said: "Ji Mu can't die. ”
"Why?!"
Xie Yundu almost shouted out this sentence, and as soon as the words came out, he regretted it. He lowered his head and covered his eyes with his hand, and said silently, "...... I'm sorry. ”
"Is it because of these people on the surface that I'm here?" Lu Qiming lowered his eyes and looked at his hands, and said lightly: "If one Ji Mu dies, there will be countless Ji Mu waiting behind." As long as Cheng Yuan is still there, it will never end. What's the use? If killing Ji Mu is regarded as revenge, it will inevitably be too cowardly. ”
"I know...... But I just," Xie Yundu said almost inaudibly, "It's just that it's too uncomfortable." ”
Lu Qiming said casually, jokingly: "You should treat it as a fake." He didn't continue the topic anymore, and suddenly said, "I still lack a lot of medicinal herbs, I don't know if you have them there." ”
Xie Yundu listened, and before he could finish speaking, he took out all the things in the ring and put them on the ground, and said, "Give it all to you!"
Lu Qiming chuckled, swept his gaze, picked a few and took them, and motioned for him to put away the excess, "You still keep these for yourself." You two walk around the periphery, there's always a time to use it. ”
Xie Yundu was about to persuade again, but the corner of his eye suddenly swept to a place-it looked very similar to another thing that Xie Yundu originally had, and no one would notice it, but Xie Yundu was too familiar with the belongings of his own ring, and at a glance he found that it was something that he didn't have originally.
Xie Yundu immediately realized it, and quietly put everything away together, his heartstrings tensed. What did Lu Qiming convey to him in such an obscure way, didn't it mean that there were other people around them staring? Xie Yundu instantly thought of that creepy name.
But at the same time, Xie Yundu finally settled down. Since Lu Qiming is still guarding against Cheng Yuan, it means that there are still things happening that Cheng Yuan does not know. Xie Yundu convinced himself that he should wait.
Lu Qiming knew that he had understood, so he smiled slightly and said, "You guys should go." ”
Xie Yundu froze and looked at him.
Lu Qiming said flatly: "Ji Mu, they are about to arrive. If you continue to stay, you will cause me problems. ”
Xie Yundu still didn't move.
Lu Qiming was a little helpless, and said in a low voice: "Let's go!"
"I'm ......" Xie Yundu clenched his fists tightly, gasped sharply, and said in a trembling voice: "Please, I can't do it." ”
Xie Yundu told himself to wait, wait, wait, but let him watch Lu Qiming continue to be treated like that by Ji Mu's kind of person...... He really can't do it!
"You just don't know," Lu Qiming said, "just like before today." ”
“...... How is that possible?!" Xie Yundu was about to go crazy. He never even dared to ask Lu Qiming anything he had experienced before, why was this happening? If he hadn't given him the way of the sword, would things have been different?
"Qiming, Qiming!" Xie Yundu grabbed his wrist and said eagerly: "You can go with us, okay?" Nothing matters, everything has passed, don't care about anything! Let's go find a place where no one knows to recuperate - we will definitely find it!"
"As soon as the ancient battlefield is over," Xie Yundu said with a smile, "Let's go back to Taoshan—our Taoshan Mountain is beautiful, the fruits are delicious, everything is good, ......and it is the most suitable for cultivation! That's all, okay?"
"Okay," Lu Qiming smiled at the corners of his eyes and eyebrows, and said sincerely: "When the ancient battlefield is over, I'll go with you to have a look." ”
Xie Yundu gritted his teeth and did not speak.
Lu Qiming pointed upwards and said with a smile: "I promise." ”
Xie Yundu's hand fell, grabbed his cuffs again, and muttered, "Really, please." ”
Lu Qiming lowered his eyes and said, "Don't embarrass me." ”
“...... Good. Xie Yundu closed his eyes vigorously, stood up, and whispered to him like a vow: "Never again." ”
The boy turned into a white tiger and lowered his head and rubbed Lu Qiming's hand.
Lu Qiming smiled and raised his eyes to send it away.
One man and one tiger left in silence and did not look back.
