Chapter 7: The Death of Qu Tianzhong
Old Man Qu bit his fingers, smeared blood on the black sword, closed his eyes and recited a mantra, suddenly his eyes opened angrily, and two sharp rays of light burst out, Old Man Qu thrust his sword into the ground, and shouted: "Blood leads to the Great Black Lotus!"
The ground rumbled like an earthquake, and stones flew everywhere. He roared as he kept his balance and fended off Tong Jun's attacks. The cracked ground shot out black light from the cracks, and then black sword bodies continued to emerge from the ground, and the sword bodies were clustered on the ground, like blooming lotus flowers. The blackened sword ball was faintly glowing with red light, densely covering the ground within a radius of several miles!
Even though the sword was strong in defense, it was also pierced by the sword group and wailed, and the soaring sword flowers pierced the limbs and stomach of the dragon, and the blood was pooled. He had to temporarily put away his attack on Tong Jun and try his best to avoid the sword flowers that exploded in all directions.
Old Man Qu walked behind Tong Jun with a brisk step, and directly slashed at the back of Tong Jun's neck, and Tong Jun, who was defenseless against Old Man Qu, fainted.
Before he could recover from the attack of the Blood Attraction Great Black Lotus, Old Man Qu hurriedly hugged the unconscious Tong Jun, turned around and rushed to Bai Xin's side, put Tong Jun beside Bai Xin, and said, "Bai Shaoxia!
"Don't worry, Grandpa Qu, I'm here to protect him!" Bai Xin took Tong Jun.
"No, I mean you take him and leave quickly, and send him safely to the Goddess Peak!"
Bai Xin looked at Old Man Qu in surprise and said, "Why didn't Grandpa send him himself?"
Old Man Qu had already stood up, slowly walked towards the dragon, and said, "The dragon beast is not something you can fight against. And once it strikes, it will fight to the death! We can't retreat with all our bodies! At this time, only if I contain it, will you have a chance to escape!"
"What are you going to do with you, grandpa?"
"If I'm lucky, I'll catch up with you. If I don't defeat the beast, I'll be in trouble with the white-hearted young man in the future!"
"You're so reassuring of me?" Bai Xin asked.
"Although the old man is old, but the eyes are still easy to use, although the young man is young, he can be calm and calm, get along for a few days, and find that the young man has great ambitions, so he handed over his grandson to the young man The old man is also very down-to-earth. Besides, it's better to leave the old man alone than to bury everyone here. I hope that the young man must help the old man with this!"
Bai Xin looked at the kind old man in front of him with determination in his words, and he was inexplicably moved in his heart. Bai Xin's eyes moistened and said, "Thanks to grandpa's trust, I will live up to grandpa's expectations and send Tong Jun to the goddess peak safely!"
"The old man has thanked Bai Shaoxia here! When you arrive at the Goddess Peak, someone will pick you up. The Central Plains in the sea is full of dangers, you two must be very careful!" Master Qu said, looking back at Tong Jun who was sleeping in Bai Xin's arms, showing a still kind smile, and said softly: "Tong Jun, you must live well." ”
After finishing speaking, Old Man Qu didn't turn his head back and turned around and ran towards the beast.
"Grandpa!" Bai Xin cried and shouted, "You have to be careful, you must catch up with us!"
Old Man Qu waved his hand, pulled out his black sword and crashed into the beast.
Although they have only been together for a few days, Bai Xin deeply feels the love of this kind grandfather for his grandson. Bai Xin wiped his tears, picked up the unconscious Tong Jun, glanced at Old Man Qu, and flew into the sky with the wind. Old Man Qu looked at them and said to himself, "Tong Jun, I'm sorry. ”
Zhiyou was far away behind a tree, Bai Xin fell next to her with Tong Jun on her back, and Qinglong jumped onto Bai Xin's shoulder. Bai Xin, who received the green dragon, got up and wanted to fly away, and said to Zhi You: "Sister Zhi You, don't hide your strength anymore! Think about how Tong Jun and Grandpa Qu protect you! While Grandpa Qu has not lost his combat effectiveness, if you join forces with him, you will still be able to repel the dragons." ”
Zhiyou looked at Bai Xin with a complicated look and said, "What do you mean by that?"
"I mean, since you're so powerful, why keep keeping it hidden?" Bai Xin said quietly.
"Do you see that?" Zhiyou asked bluntly without arguing.
"Ordinary mortals wouldn't try to pass Mosen. When Old Man Qu found Changyou, you had already stood up and were about to leave before you spoke, which means that you know that there will be a flood when Changyou appears! And no matter how Tong Jun and Grandpa Qu fight, you can follow them quietly and find a safe place, I don't believe that a mortal can find a hiding point so correctly. ”
The expression on Zhiyou's face became a little far-fetched, and she said, "So you're following us?"
"Yes, I don't have Tong Jun's kindness, I'm only with you because it's safer. By the way, the poison avoidance of the perch scales was also conveyed to me by the old man you told me, right?" Bai Xin saw that Zhiyou had already hung the perch's scales on his neck in order to avoid the poisonous gas.
Zhiyou showed admiration and said, "Yes, you can find this." You're not easy, are you?"
As he spoke, Bai Xin had already risen into the air with Tong Jun on his back, and left a sentence: "Even if I have something to hide, but compared to you, my strength is still weak." I don't know what your purpose is, at least for the sake of Tong Jun's sincere help to you, please help Old Man Qu!"
Bai Xin didn't stay any longer, Yu Feng left the battlefield with Tong Jun who had fainted on his back, and there was a rumbling explosion and a roar behind him.
I don't know how long I flew in, carrying a person on my back made Bai Xin very tired, and at this moment, the sound of fighting was completely invisible behind him. Bai Xin thought that the two of them should be safe, so he landed, put Tong Jun behind him on the ground, and rested against a stump.
After that, Tong Jun twitched a few times and moaned softly. Seeing that Tong Jun was awake, Bai Xin ran over and squatted next to him and said, "Tong Jun, you are awake." Are you okay?"
Tong Jun sat up with difficulty, rubbed his eyes, and said, "What happened, where are we now?"
Bai Xin said, "You passed out before..."
"Grandpa!" Tong Jun suddenly remembered that it was Old Man Qu who knocked him unconscious, and struggled to stand up, "Where is my grandfather?"
Bai Xin said, "Don't you get up yet, take a rest!"
Tong Jun didn't respond to Bai Xin, holding his head and gradually remembering what happened before he fell unconscious. Then he went crazy and started looking for his grandfather around.
Bai Xin didn't bother him, and quietly followed behind Tong Jun with Qinglong in his arms. Tong Jun saw that there was no figure of Old Man Qu around, his whole body shook involuntarily, and he squatted on the ground along the trunk of the tree, and said, "Grandpa is holding the dragon?"
"Hmm. He wants you to survive. ”
Unexpectedly, Tong Jun did not struggle frantically, tears slid down his cheeks, and said, "I want to go back." ”
Bai Xin stood in front of him and said, "Grandpa sacrificed his life just to let you survive, what are you going back to do! If you go back and meet Fei again, won't grandpa's life be buried in vain?"
"Do you know that my grandfather must be dead?" Tong Jun looked at Bai Xin viciously and said, "Send me back." ”
Bai Xin looked at Tong Jun's eyes, which were eyes containing infinite remorse, Bai Xin pointed behind him and said, "In that direction, you can go back by yourself." ”
Tong Jun bypassed Bai Xin and ran behind him. Bai Xin shouted, "Do you know how important your life is? That is what Grandpa Qu cherishes the most, do you think you are responsible for Grandpa when you go back like this?"
"Grandpa is also what I cherish the most, I will never let go of grandpa and live alone!"
"Reckless! There is nothing more terrifying in this world than death, but even if Grandpa Qu dies, he will save you alive, I don't know what tasks you must complete if you live, but since Grandpa Qu has sacrificed his life to let you live, you have to live well to be worthy of his spirit in the sky!"
"He's my grandfather, only I really want him to live in the world!" Tong Jun took out the two dark yellow beads behind him, swept towards the depths of the jungle, and threw a sentence at Bai Xin without looking back: "Coward!"
Bai Xin looked at Tong Jun's back in a daze, didn't know what to say for a while, shook his head helplessly, and couldn't bear to quietly follow Tong Jun, and there was a trace of envy in his heart.
Tong Jun ran wildly all the way, as if a boulder was pressing him in his heart, and he didn't seem to feel anything from the previous injury. It wasn't until Tong Jun saw a large mess that he stopped.
The dense jungle for miles was already covered with debris, and the occasional breeze swept the leaves that had been vomited dry by the poisonous gases that lay on the ground. The cracks in the ground are like bottomless cliffs carved out of thin air, the huge footprints of cows' hooves, the slag of the smashing trees, the smooth branch sections, the large clouds of black water splashing, and the rubble piled up everywhere all record the earth-shattering struggle of the ghosts and gods here before.
Tong Jun shuttled back and forth through the ruins after the war, desperately looking for the traces of Old Man Qu. He wished he could see his grandfather lying under a boulder, even if he was seriously injured.
Walking through most of the ruins, Tong Jun's hope was gradually occupied by despair. Bai Xin, who arrived later, also silently helped to find the traces of Old Man Qu on the side. And yet there was nothing, not even a corpse.
What really made Tong Jun give up looking for it was the half of the black sword next to a broken piece of wood - the black sword had been broken at the waist, this sword was a weapon that Old Man Qu had used all his life, and it was made of black iron with a sinking cliff, and it was as hard as a diamond, and even the black sword was broken, you can imagine how fierce the previous battle was.
Tong Jun squatted on the ground, holding the half of the hilt of the black sword tightly in his arms, crying like a baby.
Bai Xin found the upper part of the black sword not far away, the jet-black sword body was still shining with black light, he put this half of the black sword in front of Tong Jun, looked at Tong Jun quietly, and slowly shed tears.
Tong Jun cried for a long time, and Bai Xin stood vigilantly beside Tong Jun, guarding against Fei Fei to come out again.
"Why, why?" Tong Jun said weakly to Bai Xin, "Why do you want to take me away!"
Bai Xin took a deep breath and said timidly: "In the situation at that time, the strength of you and me was insignificant. Staying here will only make Grandpa even more unable to concentrate on dealing with the dragon. ”
"Do you know that if we join forces, we won't be able to kill the dragon?
As if he had really done something wrong, Bai Xin said slowly: "I'm sorry." ”
"It's late, I'd rather die with my grandfather. Tong Jun couldn't cry anymore.
Tong Jun's heart was like being beaten by Wan Jun's stick, and there were bursts of colic. He looked at the broken black sword in front of him, and all the previous things came to mind.
Tong Jun has been with his grandfather day and night since he was a child, and the two live deep in the mountains and forests. Tong Jun knew that Old Man Qu was not his own grandfather, but his nurturing grace and teaching for him were more generous than his biological parents. Grandpa is always kind to Tong Jun, meticulous, and treats himself as his own grandson. And Tong Jun himself has long regarded Old Man Qu as his only grandfather.
Because of Old Man Qu's care, Tong Jun never considered looking for his parents. Until one day, Grandpa Qu said to Tong Jun: "Tong Jun, you are not young, I will take you to find your people." There is still a very important task to be done on you. ”
Tong Jun has listened to his grandfather since he was a child, although he doesn't know where his people are, and he doesn't know what the task on his shoulders is. But with his grandfather by his side, Tong Jun's heart was extremely steady, so he embarked on the road home with his grandfather.
"Grandpa, I don't want clansmen, I don't want to look for my parents, I just want you ......." Tong Jun knelt on the ground, thinking that he would never see his grandfather's smile again, and tears kept falling.
Bai Xin still tried to comfort Tong Jun, but he didn't know how to speak. Squatting silently aside, the corners of his eyes gradually moistened with tears.
