Chapter 237: The Real Odoff
In the tyrannical ice and snow, the courtyard was in chaos, and the sound of swords was everywhere, and it was impossible to distinguish between friend and foe. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
Moments later, the storm cleared.
Zhang Huang, the human general who escorted Blue Heart, looked around, only to see that Odoff was still standing in place, but the two women had disappeared, including the detained Blue Heart. In addition, a soldier was wounded - he was accidentally injured by someone close to him.
The human general was shocked inexplicably, took a deep breath, and forcibly suppressed the dizziness caused by the earth-shattering sword. He had never seen such a swift sword, as if it did not stab straight down from the air, but appeared directly in the space in front of him.
He looked at Odolph in disbelief, as if the other party was going to crack in the middle at any moment. However, nothing happened. Odoff still stood there, staring faintly into the distance. If it weren't for the fact that the courtyard was ravaged by the ice and snow storm, if it weren't for the sudden disappearance of two young girls, the general almost thought that he had just had a dream - such a powerful sword, without killing a single person, he actually rose up with an incredible sense of regret, as if there was no blood against it, such a peerless sword was always missing something.
General: "Lord Odof--you're all right!"
Odoff suddenly coughed again, and there was another trace of blood on the white silk handkerchief. He did not answer the other, but raised his left hand, only to hear the cry of an eagle, and a swift shadow suddenly pierced the night, standing on the back of his hand.
Only then did the general see that the black shadow was actually a strange black eagle, with a delicate and small body, not much bigger than a bird. But that's not all it seems, for a closer look at its head reveals that it has a human-like face, and its eyes are not scattered on either side of the skull, but are embedded in the face like black dots on white jade.
As soon as the Black Hawk arrived, he rubbed against the back of Odorf's hand like a baby looking for a pamper. There was a humming sound, which made the general who had been curious and looking at the black shadow creepy, and every pore was extremely uncomfortable.
Odolph spread out his right hand, and saw a drop of bright red liquid floating in his palm. Although the red liquid is only a drop, it exudes a rich aroma comparable to that of a spring flower.
The general unconsciously took a deep breath, but found that his body actually had a dull numb feeling, and he was shocked, could it be that this aroma had the poison of anesthesia? If it was not in an open outside, but in a confined space, he believed that he was so paralyzed that he could not move.
The little black eagle was extremely excited when he saw the red droplet. There was a look of enchantment on its delicate face, and the next moment, its form flashed, the red droplet was gone, and it was back on the back of Odoff's hand. The red liquid was swallowed by it.
Odoff coughed twice, his steps were vague, and his body was shaking slightly, as if he would be blown down by the wind at any moment. Step by step, he walked in front of the general.
The general bowed his head unusually respectfully.
Odoff: "Go, follow the Baby Eagle, and it will lead you to the escapees." I believe you have also received Ye Chong's order - that young man must die!"
General: "Yes!" He hesitated for a moment, then added, "Lord Odoff, this man is extremely martial arts, and ordinary sergeants can only hold back the other party, and it is difficult to kill him." Please send a master to help us destroy the young man. β
Odoff nodded: "Don't worry, they will definitely show up when you need it." β
The general received the order and left in a hurry with the sergeant.
Odoff's eyes looked at the northern night sky again, and he didn't know how long it had been, and suddenly muttered in a voice that only he could hear: "Dienian, you are my most outstanding disciple, and you are also the disciple who makes me the most helpless...... Many years ago, there was a woman who was as stubborn as you, but like you, she took her feelings too seriously...... I don't care if you hate me or not, because I'm going to die...... If this time, you can prove yourself right...... You will be my heir......"
His eyes suddenly showed a hint of pain and confusion, he had spent nearly sixty years on what he had insisted on. Sixty years ago, he was given the opportunity to learn from the canon. He knew that the eternal night would come, and unlike everyone else, he was convinced that he had found another way, and that was the study of Gewu as contained in the sacred scriptures. When the woman he loved painstakingly plotted to open a southward passage for the Icefield people, he began a journey to pursue the true knowledge of Gewu. For all this, he didn't even know that the woman he loved had taken the poison of the beauty under the moon.
No one knew that the path that Dienian had taken had been tried by another woman decades earlier. It's just that all this was stopped by him. She had aged irreversibly, and although he had saved her life, he could not restore her stunning appearance - but he believed that the answer to it all was in the true knowledge of the object.
The true knowledge of things makes him pure and determined, as if he is a machine that never makes mistakes. However, as the twilight approached, he wavered, for he found that he had underestimated the unpredictable human heart after all. He began to secretly help the hidden god she believed in, but the hidden god disappointed him again, and it was just a bunch of hypocrites who thought they were noble.
Perhaps he was wrong from the beginning, and in the past sixty years, he has lost so much for a nihilistic ideal - he has understood many of the principles of the gods, but he has never been able to understand the hearts of the people.
Odoff withdrew his gaze and headed out of the courtyard like a leaf in the wind, disappearing into the night in just a few steps, leaving only the faint sound of intermittent coughing coming from the night sky.
......
The Juyong Mountains are dense with forests. At the beginning of the morning, a faint light flickered in a cleared clearing.
Two beautiful girls sat around the embers of the small fire, and they had fled all night, knowing that they had stopped at dawn. This is probably their last chance to enjoy the warmth. They all know very well from the secret academy that from the moment of dawn, there will be a steady stream of chasing soldiers behind them.
Lan Xin tightened the thin clothes on her body, looked at the figure that disappeared in the dense forest, and suddenly felt as if she had lost something, and suddenly became uneasy. She felt ridiculous at this feeling, the man named Ah Heng was just the object of her use to take revenge, how could she possibly have affection for him? Maybe it was because he was the first man she had intimate contact with? Lan Xin comforted herself.
However, she glanced at Hu Lanjin, and her heart suddenly seemed to be tightly pinched together, and it was difficult to breathe, and she actually had a feeling of madness. Along the way, how could the other party be cared for by Ah Heng in every way, but she was left out in the cold - she became uncontrollably anxious.
Blue Heart: "Why did you want him to save me-?"
Hu Lanjin: "Although I don't like you, but you and I grew up together, I didn't think about you dying-"
Lan Xin: "You are really my good sister, if it weren't for the changes in Bruda City, which made the people you sent waver, how could I have a chance to escape." I guess it's already in the hands of the teacher at this moment, and I've become a puppet who can't live or die-"
Hulan Jin: "Believe it or not, I didn't plan to send you to Bruda City. β
Lan Xin snorted coldly, she naturally didn't believe it. What's more, her martial arts were all wasted, all thanks to her.
Hu Lanjin didn't explain, just looked at the direction where Ah Heng left, his eyes were uncertain.
The two were silent for a moment, and Lan Xin suddenly laughed.
Lan Xin: "Don't you want to know what happened to me and him in the inn for so long?"
Hulan Jin didn't hear it, just looked at the dense forest in front of him.
Lan Xin: "I see, it's not that you don't want to know, but you don't dare to know...... Am I right?"
Hu Lanjin glanced at the other party lightly, as if looking at a shallow little girl who only knew how to show off.
Lan Xin was stabbed by this look, and that crazy feeling rose again. But the next moment, she giggled.
Lan Xin: "I thought you really didn't care at all, but unfortunately, you will never have a chance for this kind of thing." Because---you are any man's poison, you are a beauty under the moon......" She was very happy, very happy.
Hu Lanjin: "Believe it or not, I will make you speechless forever!" Her eyes were extremely cold.
Blue Heart: "I believe it, of course I do." But there are some things that have happened, but they will never be erased, and it will always be nailed to someone's heart like a thorn. Even if you shut me up, you won't be able to change that. She was as proud as a proud peacock.
Hu Lanjin smiled disdainfully: "I really don't understand what you're proud of?"
Lan Xin: "Of course you don't understand, there are some things - only real women understand." All I can tell you is that I already have something that you won't have in your lifetime. When she said this, her face glowed with a strange glow.
Hu Lanjin ignored the other party, just quietly looked at the direction where Ah Heng left. However, only she knew that at this moment, her heart hurt terribly, as if she had been pierced into a thousand holes by countless vicious steel needles.
Lan Xin: "Good sister, are you angry? Oh, it's all my fault, and I am so sorry that I make you feel bad by saying these things!" she said sorry, but her head was held high. The more sad the other person, the happier she became.
Hulan Jin stood up suddenly, she looked at the dense forest in front of her for the last time, and said slowly, "I'm leaving." β
Lan Xin was stunned.
Hu Lanjin let go of the wrist that was blocked by the jade butterfly, where there was an extremely thin wound that was constantly spilling blood. Lost the shield, a sweet aroma came out.
Lan Xin: "You're hurt, why are you still bleeding? Ah! You've been poisoned by the teacher's weak water, and the wound will never solidify."
Weak water, the feathers do not float, and they will never be solid. The wounded will one day die of blood.
A hint of gloom flashed in Hu Lanjin's eyes, she knew Odoff very well what Odoff was aiming for, she would become a clue to the pursuers, because no matter how much she covered it, the sweet fragrance of the blood of the beauties under the moon could not be completely eliminated after all. As long as there is a trace of leakage, the other party can also find themselves.
Lan Xin: "You want to lead the teacher away on your own?"
Hu Lanjin didn't answer, she turned around and walked in the other direction. Only one sentence was left so flat that it was almost impossible to hear any emotion:
"Blue Heart, cherish what you've got, even if it doesn't belong to you in the first placeβ" (To be continued.) )
