Chapter 14: Arriving Safely
That night, it was Yu Wei's turn to take a few people on duty at night, because Niu Zhengying had to be extra careful in these nights, because Yu Wei did not dare to slack off, and cheered up to patrol back and forth outside their camp.
At the beginning of Shi Ziling's entry into the dense forest opposite, there were strange sounds not as quickly as usual, but Yu Wei was a little strange. But soon after, all kinds of strange movements continued to come from the forest, mixed with a few angry roars, and it seemed that the sound was not from Shi Ziling.
Although Yu Wei couldn't hear the situation clearly, he also felt that someone seemed to be fighting in the forest, so he hurriedly sent someone to inform Niu Zhengying and asked them to take precautions, while he took a few guards to check on the edge of the forest.
I don't know how long later, they saw a figure coming out of the dense forest, Yu Wei and the others were a little trembling, and they wanted to come forward to inspect but didn't dare to get too close. It wasn't until the other party opened his mouth to call out Yu Wei's name that they heard that it was Shi Ziling, and hurriedly stepped forward to check it out.
When I looked closer, I saw Shi Ziling lying on the ground, already unconscious. The surprise of Yu Wei and the others is really extraordinary, Shi Ziling is really a big master among the masters for them, such a master actually fell to the ground unconscious, and the strength of the enemy is simply unimaginable.
Fortunately, there was no blood stain on Shi Ziling's body, and there were no wounds, and he still looked like he was still breathing, so several people hurriedly lifted him up and ran towards the camp. Just in time for Niu Zhengying to lead people to hurry from the camp, seeing this scene, he hurriedly asked everyone to put down Shiziling.
Niu Zhengying stepped forward to carefully check the pulse of Shiziling, and couldn't help but be a little inexplicable. Shi Ziling's pulse was calm, his breath was long, and he didn't look like he was injured at all, but his eyes were closed and he couldn't wake up, but why?
Niu Zhengying hurriedly asked Yu Wei what was going on, and Yu Wei couldn't say why, only said that he heard the sound of fighting in the forest, and then saw Shi Ziling staggering out alone, and after calling Yu Wei's name, he saw him lying on the ground and didn't know what to do.
Niu Zhengying was very strange in his heart, and wanted to go into the forest to see what was going on, but at this time the sky was not yet dawn, and the situation in the forest was unknown, so he really didn't dare to act rashly. He thought about it for a while, and asked everyone to carry Shiziling into the camp and settle down first, while the rest of the people were fully armed and guarded outside the carriage with congratulatory gifts, and everyone was fully on guard in case of an attack by a foreign enemy.
Finally, when it was dawn, Shiziling was still asleep, and there was no strange sound in the dense forest.
Niu Zhengying hesitated again and again, but decided to let Yu Wei and Yu Wu take a few people into the dense forest to find out. But before entering, Niu Zhengying told them to withdraw immediately if they found the enemy, and they must not engage him.
Not long after Yu Wei and Yu Wu and the others entered the dense forest with trepidation, they soon came out to report that except for a few corpses in the dense forest, they did not see the enemy.
Niu Zhengying asked everyone to be on guard, and he re-entered the forest alone, and sure enough, he saw seven corpses lying crookedly in the depths of the dense forest. Looking at the dress of these corpses and the blades they carry, it seems that they are the owners of the "Thirteen Villages of Jiangdong" mentioned by Leng Long.
Niu Zhengying beckoned his subordinates to come in and search their belongings, and sure enough, it was Zhou Kai, Lao Fei and other village owners in the "Jiangdong Thirteen Villages" that Leng Long and Leng Hu had talked about, and one of the people with a particularly large body was actually the famous underworld Haoqiang Shen Tugang.
Niu Zhengying was surprised and delighted, and he couldn't imagine that Shen Tugang, who he was most worried about in the past few days, and his subordinates had died here. These people were lying in the forest, needless to say, they must be dealing with the people of the Yu family, and they couldn't help but be afraid for a while when they thought about it.
I think it must have been Shi Ziling who discovered the other party's attempt and killed all the other party in a bloody battle with the other party, and Shi Ziling himself was injured and fell to the ground.
"But why is there no wound on Shi Ziling's body, and the pulse shows that there are no obvious internal injuries, but he has been unconscious?" Niu Zhengying was puzzled.
Inevitably have a long night and many dreams, as soon as Niu Zhengying exited the dense forest, he immediately let the Yu family's guards quickly set off on the road, after all, although most of the people in the "Thirteen Villages of Jiangdong" died here, but there are still a few people left, in case they catch up and entangle, Shiziling does not know when he can wake up, after all, it is still very troublesome.
Although Shi Ziling didn't look like he was seriously injured, the people of the Yu family didn't dare to alarm him, so they carried Shi Ziling to the carriage and placed him properly, and then sent two more people to take care of his situation day and night.
In the next few days, the road was uneventful, and a few bandit-looking people occasionally passed by, but when they saw their group, they all avoided it.
Yu Deping, father and son, Niu Zhengying and others estimated that the news of Shen Tugang's death had spread, and the bandits along the way asked themselves how far away their strength was from Shen Tugang, and Shen Tugang had died unexpectedly, so they naturally hid as far as they wanted, so as not to attract accidents.
Everyone in the Yu family was secretly amused in their hearts, but they were a little worried, because Shi Ziling was still groggy for the past few days, and he had no intention of waking up.
Three days later, the Yu family's gift-giving team finally arrived safely in Songhu City.
The Yu family also has a small shop property in Songhu City, which is managed by Yu Zhengmiao, the second son of Master Yu, who is Yu Zhengtian's younger brother.
Their gift recipient Chen Gong this time is still their distant cousin, not only the seventy-seventh master on the top 100 list, but also the guard and strategist under Su Bairen, the city guard of Songhu City. This Chen Gongzhao is deeply respected by Su Bairen, and he is a high-ranking big man in Songhu City.
Chen Gongzhao's birthday banquet is scheduled to be held in two days, when not only his relatives and friends will be present to congratulate, but also many leading figures in Songhu City will also go to cheer, which is a major event in Songhu City.
The Yu family discussed it and decided to send the congratulatory gift directly to the Chen Mansion first, but it was a matter of concern, and Shi Ziling, who was still asleep, was sent to Yu Zhengmiao's house to continue to recuperate.
On the second day after arriving in Songhu City, that is, after falling asleep for four days and four nights, Shiziling finally woke up.
When he opened his eyes, the sun was shining outside the window, so he stretched his waist and sat up, only to find himself in a clean and bright room, the quilt on his body, the sheets on the bed seemed to be brand new, and even the clothes placed next to the bed were also new.
Shi Ziling was a little strange at first, and then remembered that after a big battle with Shen Tugang in the dense forest, his true yuan was greatly damaged, and his spiritual power was even more exhausted, and he couldn't support it after seeing Yu Wei, so he fell asleep.
He immediately checked himself, and after some pranayama, he not only felt that the true yuan was abundant and smooth, but even his mental power seemed to be stronger than before the big war.
Shi Ziling was very happy, and when he was wondering where he was now, a pretty little maid pushed the door in with a tray in her hand.
As soon as the maid raised her eyes and saw Shi Ziling, who was sitting on the bed bare-chested, she let out a scream in shock, turned around and left with a red face, and hurriedly knocked over a small incense burner in the tray on the ground.
Shi Ziling got up and dressed inexplicably, picked up the incense burner on the ground, and realized that there was an equally elegant incense burner next to his bed, but the incense had burned out. The little maid probably came to change the incense burner, which smelled fragrant and elegant, making people's spirits feel peaceful and refreshing.
After a while, Niu Zhengying and Yu Deping** had heard the news of Shi Ziling's awakening, and they all hurried to visit.
Everyone entered the room and saw that Shi Ziling was not only safe and sound after waking up, but also radiant and full of energy, everyone was very pleased, and asked him again and again how he felt, and asked him if he had a hard fight with Shen Tugang and the people of Jiangdong Thirteen Villages that day.
Only then did Shi Ziling realize that he had been asleep for four days, and he didn't feel embarrassed. If it weren't for the fact that he rashly tried the "Outer Heaven Demon Sound" that day, which caused the spiritual power to be exhausted and the true yuan was greatly damaged, it would not have made everyone so worried, secretly thinking that in the future, he would not be able to use his spiritual power indiscriminately again.
Shi Ziling immediately briefly talked about the encounter with several people in Jiangdong Thirteen Villages that night, but he was vague about the cultivation of "Soul Dementor" and "Outer Magic Sound", and only said that he was practicing in the forest.
Because he learned from Kato Eagle's secret book that the "Dead Night Gate" is a branch of the Demon Sect, and it is an old enemy of the Three Qing Sect of the Yu family's ancestors, so it is better not to talk about his cultivation of Demon Sect Kung Fu.
Although in Shi Ziling's heart, the ** of the Demon Sect and the ** of the Three Qing Sect are just different martial arts cultivation methods, and there is no distinction between good and evil, but he has always kept this point of view in his heart, but he has not talked about it with the Yu family, and it is not easy to explain it if he wants to talk about it.
As for why he fell asleep for four days, Shi Ziling explained that it was probably because he consumed too much True Yuan, anyway, everyone in the Yu family didn't know much about his martial arts cultivation, and even he didn't understand what kung fu he had practiced before, and why he had such a profound True Yuan.
Although Niu Zhengying and the others were a little suspicious when they heard this, they couldn't say anything, but they just asked him how many people came from the other party that day, including Shen Tugang.
Shi Ziling thought about it for a while, in addition to the six people who were waiting in the forest, Shen Tugang brought two more people later, a total of nine people.
Yu Wei interjected on the side: "But when I went into the forest that day to look, I only saw seven corpses?"
Niu Zhengying said: "Maybe two of them didn't die at the time, and as soon as Ziling left, they slipped away." Afterwards, the news that Shen Tugang was killed by us must have been them. ”
Shi Ziling thought about it well, and the two village owners who came with Shen Tugang later should have just been stunned by themselves, and they were already extremely trapped at the time, and they didn't have time to take a closer look, but now they think about it, and the two of them slipped away after waking up.
However, he didn't care about this, but the power of the "Outer Magic Sound" was so domineering, it was really beyond his expectations. In fact, he didn't have the intention of putting the other party to death at the beginning, he just didn't want them to harass the Yu family's team, and wanted to subdue them first and then send them away.
The process of giving gifts this time is finally thrilling, and it can be said that it is all thanks to the power of Shiziling, and everyone in the Yu family has respected him.
Especially Yu Wei, who was so impressed by Shi Ziling, couldn't help but say: "I knew that Lu Daoziling could even kill such a powerful Shen Tugang, do our Yu family still need to tie up with any distant relative Uncle Chen! I think, that hundred-year-old He Shou Wu should be filial to Ziling!"
Everyone laughed for a while, Yu Zhengtian raised his hand and patted Yu Wei's head, and reprimanded: "Hugh has to talk nonsense, don't say that Lord Chen Gongzhao is our relative, just because he is one of the guards of Songhu City and an official of the fourth rank of the dynasty, what you say is a big rebellion." ”
Everyone in the Yu family snickered in their hearts, secretly thinking that what Yu Wei said actually made some sense. The relationship between the Yu family and this Chen Gongzhao is actually very far away, and Chen Gongzhao has never taken the Yu family's relatives to heart. If you knew that you had such a strong reinforcement as Shi Ziling, you really don't have to worry too much about him.
Shen Tugang is a long-established underworld figure, and it is said that his strength is enough to challenge the top 100 masters on the "Top 100 List", even if the rumors are exaggerated, his death is enough to prove Shi Ziling's strength.
You must know that Shiziling of Ludao killed the owners of Shentu Gang and six "Jiangdong Thirteen Villages" by himself, and he also beat two at the same time, which is definitely a big deal. Everyone thought that it wouldn't be long before Shiziling's reputation would probably resound throughout the Jiangdong area and even the entire Mingyue Continent.
