Chapter 45: A Game Within a Game
After reaching an agreement, Situ ordered Mingyang to leave the courtyard where Yang Xiao was, leaving Yang Xiao alone to sit in the small pavilion and ponder.
"Sister-in-law, you are really smart and confused for a while, don't you know that there are some things that don't need me to do, it will still develop in the direction I want, how can I control the treacherous changes behind it?
In the Smoke Cloud Valley, Yang Chen sat on the top of the highest mountain in the valley in a quiet daze, after Situ Mingyang left the valley, he would stay here quietly for half an hour after he finished cultivating every day, "My mother has been away for ten days, why hasn't she come back yet, with her speed for such a long time, it is more than enough to go back and forth a hundred times." Yang Chen was a little anxious in his heart, or a little panicked, he had this situation.
At this time, he was very worried about Situ Mingyang, "No, I have to go find Grandpa Zhu," the more he thought about it, the more anxious he became, he couldn't bear it anymore, he ran down the top of the mountain like a fly, and came to Zhu Lao, who was drinking tea, sweating profusely.
"Boy, what's causing you to be in such a hurry?" Zhu Lao asked when he saw that it was in a hurry.
"Grandpa Zhu, I know, you still have several unpredictable cultivators guarding the dark place in this Smoke Cloud Valley, I want to ask, did my mother bring a few of them with her when she left?" Yang Chen asked anxiously.
"You kid, you have a bit of a brain, what you said is right, but there are actually several emperor-level powerhouses secretly guarding around Yanyun Valley, they have all received great favors from your father, and want to repay your father's kindness, your father originally didn't want them to repay any kindness, but they insisted, at that time, it was just in time for your mother to be pregnant, and your father had no choice but to half-jokingly say, "As long as you can protect my wife's womb child for a hundred years, you will repay me," As a result, they all kept their promises, and every two people took turns guarding each day, and it lasted for a hundred years.
"Then this year is just a hundred years old, wouldn't they have left a long time ago," Yang Chen said.
"No, they could have left, but just when they wanted to leave your father, they heard the news of your father's fall, so they are still there. Zhu Lao informed.
"When my mother left, did they accompany them together?" this is what Yang Chen cared about.
"No, you didn't call them when your mother left, what's wrong with you, boy, you were shocked?" Old Zhu was a little puzzled, feeling that Yang Chen was really strange today.
"It's not good," Yang Chen seemed to think of something, and suddenly shouted, "My mother must have had an accident, Grandpa Zhu, can you take me to the clan?" Yang Chen's face was full of anxiety, and beads of sweat rolled down his forehead.
"Brush," a sound that broke through the air, there was an additional figure next to Yang Chen at this time, his holy and cold incarnation like ice and snow, so beautiful that it was impossible to look at, the person who came was Yang Xueli, she faintly heard Yang Chen's exclamation in the attic, and the piano didn't have time to clean up, so she teleported over directly.
"Sister, sister, my heart is so chaotic, I feel that my mother may be in danger, Yang Chen grabbed Yang Xueli's hand with nervous hands, at this time, he seemed to be able to relieve the fear in his heart a little only by grabbing the sister who was close to his dear in front of him.
Yang Chen looked up, Yang Xueli's eyes were also like him, hiding a deep uneasiness, she tried her best to stay calm, looked at Zhu Lao, and asked for his opinion.
"Stay well in the valley, and you are not allowed to go anywhere, but I will go." In the face of Yang Xueli's sister and brother's expression, he also couldn't sit still, a very small number of people, once the person he cared about had any fatal danger, they had a bad premonition between each other, although this kind of person was a very minority, but it was just Yang Chen's sister and brother who were such people.
"But, Grandpa Zhu ......."
"If your mother is really in danger, what's the use of you going? You stay in the valley well, this place can absolutely protect your safety, you can rest assured, I will definitely bring your mother back safely." Yang Chen wanted to say something, but was interrupted by Zhu Lao and said solemnly and solemnly to them.
"Grandpa Zhu, you pay attention to safety," Yang Xueli said softly, she was concise and to the point, showing her attitude and concern.
"But my sister ......."
"Xiao Chen, be obedient. Yang Xueli suddenly looked at Yang Chen and shouted sternly.
In Yang Chen's memory, this was the first time Yang Xueli yelled at him like this, and he was a little scared in his heart, so he immediately lowered his head and stopped talking.
As soon as Yang Xueli's words fell, Zhu Lao's had already disappeared in place and went to rescue Situ Mingyang.
After Zhu Lao left, Yang Chen still lowered his head and didn't dare to look at Yang Xueli, standing in place in a daze, but he didn't know what to do.
"Sister, I know it's wrong. Yang Chen felt the warmth coming from the palm of his hand, and really felt that he was so unreasonable, so he suddenly looked up at Yang Xueli and apologized.
Yang Xueli didn't look at him, but looked at the sky with anxiety, and said softly: "Xiao Chen, I know you're worried about your mother, but sometimes when we worry about others, we also have to understand our own abilities, otherwise not only will we not be able to help, but we will harm others, you know?"
"Got it," Yang Chen said, Yang Chen stopped talking, and the two sisters and brothers stood side by side with each other holding hands, looking into the distance, praying that the person in their hearts would return safely.
The two of them stood until the sun set, the starlight was flooding, and the bright moon was rising, but the person he was thinking about in his heart had not arrived, and a cool breeze blew, Yang Chen suddenly felt a chill in his body, it was a piercing cold, so cold that he couldn't help but shiver.
The two siblings held each other's hands tightly, and their shoulders were unconsciously close to each other, as if only by getting closer to each other and feeling each other's warmth, the body would not be so cold, and they would have the courage to wait for this look like ten thousand years.
Unconsciously, it was the middle of the night again, Rao was so calm as Yang Xueli couldn't help but tremble slightly at this time, his eyes were staring at the sky, he was so panicked.
Yang Chen's heart was like a raging river, unable to calm the evil, he prayed over and over again in his heart, his body was extremely tense, and he was next to Yang Xue's fence.
Suddenly, two rays of light crossed the sky, and two figures fell in front of them.
"Mother, what's wrong with you? How can this be," Yang Chen was first overjoyed when he saw the visitor, and then he was shocked, and he was overjoyed because Situ Mingyang, who had been away for ten days, finally came back, and was shocked that at this time, Situ Mingyang's face was pale, his body was weak, there was a blood stain on the corner of his mouth, and his body was slightly embarrassed.
She almost couldn't stand on her feet when she landed, and it was all up to Yang Xueli to appear behind her in time to hold her so that she wouldn't fall to the ground, "Quickly help your mother to the house, I will heal her immediately," Zhu Lao hurriedly said on the side.
Before the words fell, Yang Xueli helped Situ Mingyang to disappear in place in an instant, and the next moment he had appeared in Situ Mingyang's room and helped him to lie on the bed slowly.
The next moment, Yang Chen and Zhu Lao also came to the room, Zhu Lao hurriedly took out a ruddy and lustrous earth pill from the space ring fence and gave it to Situ Mingyang, and then transported the majestic Xuan power around his body, and slowly poured it into Situ Mingyang's body, and after three hours of continuous input, Situ Mingyang: "Wow" got up and spit out a mouthful of blood, his breath was sluggish, and he fainted directly.
"Mother," Yang Chen and Yang Xueli exclaimed, their voices full of extreme worry and nervousness.
"Don't worry, she just passed out, and fortunately her injuries have finally stabilized," she should be able to wake up at noon today.
Now don't disturb her, let her have a good rest.
The sister and brother were not at ease, they stood by and watched for a long time, and only after seeing that Situ Mingyang's complexion began to improve, and his breath stabilized. ”
"Grandpa Zhu......"
Seeing that he wanted to speak and stopped, Zhu Lao knew that he had something to say, and said, "Come out and say, and leave the door alone." ”
Yang Chen looked at Yang Xueli, "Go, I'll take care of my mother." Yang Xueli said softly.
"Hmm," Yang Chen said as he walked out of the room.
"Poof," as soon as he walked out of the door, Yang Chen saw Zhu Lao spurting out a mouthful of blood, Yang Chen jumped, and hurriedly stepped forward and worried: "Grandpa Zhu, you are injured, is there anything wrong?"
Yang Chen didn't pay attention to it just now, several places on Zhu Lao's robe had been torn apart by some extreme force, combined with his performance just now, Yang Chen knew that Zhu Lao must have also been injured, and it was not a minor injury.
"Thank you, Grandpa Zhu, if it weren't for saving my mother, you wouldn't have been so seriously injured," Yang Chen was full of apologies.
"It's okay, it's a small injury, it won't take more than nine to heal after taking the pill to regulate pranayama. Zhu Lao said.
Then he sighed, looked at the sky like a chessboard, and said thoughtfully: "Boy, I know what you want to ask, although I don't know who the gang that killed us is, but what I am sure of now is that we are all caught in a game within a game.......
