Chapter 237: The Road to Escape
Flames raged on the top of Wudang Mountain.
The ancient wood was burned, the Taoist hall was destroyed, Gong Yu sat cross-legged in front of the broken golden hall, the hairpin was scattered, the hair was draped, the shoulders of the snow-white robe were stained with red blood, and the ghost prison thorn piercing into the flesh and bone was particularly eye-catching, it pierced the beautiful jade shoulder like a fairy's knife, and the black netherworld qi spread along the skin, sealing her power at the same time, as if to completely encroach on her and degenerate into a ghost.
Lin Shouxi and Xiao He joined forces in front of her, the long sword was sharp, the fire and wind were blowing in front of her, and the flexible tip of the sword was buzzing and shaking in the wind.
Ji Luoyang wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, walked across the burning courtyard wall with his sword, and looked at Lin Shouxi and Xiao He with a gloomy expression.
Before the Wu family separated, Lin Shouxi vowed that he would be broken into pieces next time they met. But today, neither he nor Xiao He cast their eyes on Ji Luoyang's body, and they all stared at the red-haired girl who walked slowly without exception, as if they were facing a great enemy.
Si Duxue had a smile on her face, she was dressed in black, her sleeves were hanging, and she was unarmed, not like a killer, but more like a flower admirer.
Lin Shouxi never thought that he would meet the admirer here.
When the temple first met, he was intimidated by her charm, and then she sent him and Mu Shijing back to Yunkong Mountain from the Holy Soil Temple, all the way, the peacock led the car, he had occasional conversations with her, admiring the goddess to tell him about the past of mortal dust, eloquently, extremely gentle, at that time he felt that she was a very good person, unsuspecting.
This goddess, who seems to be gentle and pure and has a conscience that cares about the world, is so deeply hidden.
"Long time no see."
Si Duxue stopped ten feet away from them, looked at Lin Shouxi, and said hello with a smile.
Then, her eyes fell on Xiao He and said, "Is this the fiancée you often mention?" It's so beautiful, especially this snow hair, I really want to touch it...... At the beginning, I thought that you and Mu Shijing should be a match made in heaven, and I also thought that when you got married, I would bring gifts to congratulate, but it's a pity......"
Si Duxue looked at them quietly, her eyes were pitiful, as if she was looking at a pair of dying lovers, and repeated: "It's a pity." ”
With admiration for the goddess as the center, the hot flames blew with the wind, burrowed into Si Duxue's black robe, blowing her clothes to the ground, and the goddess's red hair fluttered again, her redness was strangely red, it was not the red of Tongyun, nor the red of the flames, it was red and sad.
Admiring the goddess stretched out her hand.
The wind and fire around her gathered in her palm, condensing into a spear.
The spear was crystal clear, the arc flickered, and it was so beautiful, like a god's blade, that it was only connected to death.
Lin Shouxi and Xiao He could clearly feel this terrifying killing intent, even if they had thousands of questions in their hearts, they didn't say much, they only turned the qi pill to the extreme, and the majestic true qi surged between the black and white robes, like wind and thunder galloping between the clouds.
"Use that trick." Lin Shouxi said in a deep voice.
"Hmm." Xiao He nodded, comprehending.
The true qi of the two gushed out at the same time, entangled together, the flames of encirclement and suppression were swept away in an instant, they looked at the admiration of the goddess coldly, the killing intent rose to the sky at the first time, climbed to the peak, the sword light in the hands of the two people was sheng, gathered together, forming a lake-like white mang, the white mang shrouded the two, like one person.
A low lion-like roar rang out between them, a roar that collided as True Qi converged, with a sense of fury, as if it was about to tear everything apart.
Even admiring the gods and goddesses became solemn.
Ji Luoyang watched this scene from a distance, he didn't intervene, he knew that another peak duel was coming, he didn't think that Lin Shouxi and Xiao He had the ability to defeat Si Duxue, but he was also very curious, what kind of moves did Lin Shouxi and Xiao He practice to press the bottom of the box, after all, the prelude to this move is terrifying enough, and when this combined sword is really cut out, how earth-shattering should it be?
But soon, the nervousness in Ji Luoyang's eyes turned into shock.
When the killing intent rose to its peak, Lin Shouxi suddenly turned around, picked up Gong Yu, who was still meditating, carried her on his back, and fled at full speed.
Mo said that it was Ji Luoyang and Si Duxue, even Gong Yu was taken aback.
Gong Yu was still thinking about what peerless magic skills these two boys had practiced without her, and it wasn't until her chest pressed against Lin Shouxi's back that she realized that they were just bluffing.
Also, with their strength, it is absolutely impossible to get any benefit from having a hard time with the goddess, not to mention that the goddess has helpers.
The pain in her shoulder wrangled at her, the pain spreading, making her arm tingle, she hadn't tasted such pain and weakness in years, she gritted her teeth and opened her eyes, the wind blew in her face, and the world fell over.
"Master, hold it tight." Lin Shouxi said in a low voice.
"Hmm."
Gong Yu replied coldly, rarely docile.
On the edge of the cliff of Wudang Mountain, Lin Shouxi tightened Gong Yu's thigh, took a deep breath, and jumped down.
The wind blew the long hair straight, Gong Yu subconsciously hugged Lin Shouxi's neck, she opened her eyes, the night scene in front of her was hidden in the clouds and mist, blurred, only the young man's face was close at hand was clear, and even the texture of the pupil could be seen.
Lin Shouxi's expression was extremely focused, he stabilized his body with the help of the law of wind of the White Pupil and Black Phoenix Sword Sutra, and pointed over the protruding rock corners of the mountain wall, so as to buffer, while maintaining balance, he jumped down quickly, like a mountain antelope walking on the wall.
The distance is getting farther and farther away.
The Red Cloud Skull and the Lightning Fire were all left behind.
On the top of the cliff, the spear of thunder and fire in the hand of the goddess of admiration was thrown, it drew a sharp arc in the air, and the tip of the spear fell downwards and vertically, like a snake seeking life, stabbing at Gong Yu's back.
Lin Shouxi ran his true qi, wanting to dodge on the mountain wall and avoid the attack, but behind him, Xiao He's voice sounded, as sharp as a knife:
"Don't look back, I'll come."
Xiao He turned back with his sword and met the spear that was projected, the blade of the sword intersected with the spear, and the sparks of the big tent splashed like rain, illuminating the girl's porcelain-white cheeks red, and the hot flames rose along the spear body to her arm, and the arm sleeves were burned away in an instant, and the slender and white arm was like being in the fire.
The girl resisted the thought of untying the red rope, gritted her teeth, and twisted the ancient sword with all her might.
The spear of thunder and fire was shaken by her, the direction of the tip of the spear was slightly offset, and it pierced obliquely into the rock wall, and in the sound of crackling, the thunder and fire were surging, and the rock chips were splashing, and Xiao He was swept away by the explosion of the air wave, detached from the rock wall, and fell towards the mountain.
Xiao He's thin lips were pursed, enduring the injury, trying to insert the sword into the rock mass to prevent it from falling, but in the previous confrontation with the spear, the sword that had accompanied her for many years had broken and lost its tip, and the sword could not penetrate into the hard rock mass.
Xiao He's body slid down quickly, falling towards the abyss of Wudang Mountain.
In mid-air, a hand suddenly reached out and grabbed the placket of her clothes, Xiao He snorted, stretched out her backhand, and also grabbed the arm that grabbed her placket, and in the falling air, Xiao He met Lin Shouxi's gaze.
There were no large red clouds to obscure the view, and the waning moon in the sky was revealed, which hung the sky and shed a silver glow that illuminated them.
"Hold on." Lin Shouxi said.
"Okay." Xiao He nodded.
Fate is so mysterious.
This is the second time they have jumped off the cliff today, the first time they are still fists and feet, as if they want to fight the mountains without edges, the river is reversed before they will stop, at this moment the enemy is in front of them, the glacier completely dissolves, and they have become partners who share life and death again.
As if with divine help, the mountain wind suddenly rose and surged through the cracks in the cliff wall, flowing through them.
Lin Shouxi tightened the slender and tight legs of his ancestor, and at the same time held Xiao He's warm little hand, they no longer relied on the mountain rocks, but directly relied on the wind to slide towards the reckless forest.
The small shadow of the clothes was invaded by the night.
……
The forests under Wudang Mountain were dumped in large areas, which were the traces left by Lin Shouxi and Xiao He during the day's battle.
The three of them landed smoothly.
They flew a long distance with the strength of the wind, even if they admired the goddess, they couldn't catch up for a while, but none of them dared to relax, and they didn't discern the direction too much, Lin Shouxi took Xiao He's hand, plunged into the forest, and fled towards the depths of the mountains.
——The mountains outside Wudang Mountain are stretched, the forests are vast, and the primitive dense forests are the best hiding places.
"Xiao He, are you injured?"
Lin Shouxi held hands with her, he obviously felt that the girl's hands were a little cold, and similarly, her breath was also a little chaotic, and she should have been injured when she blocked the spear.
"I'm fine."
Xiao He had just spoken, but he tripped over thorns under his feet, and with a bang, he stumbled and almost fell.
"Don't be reckless, come, I'll carry you." Lin Shouxi clenched her hand and said seriously.
Xiao Heqiang swallowed a mouthful of surging blood, and looked at him with a slightly strange expression.
On Lin Shouxi's back, there was a cold coughing sound from Gong Yu.
His heartstrings were so tight that he didn't even react, he was already carrying someone on his back.
Gong Yu hugged the back of his neck, pressed against his chest and back, gasping softly, and moaning in pain from time to time between his noses.
In the past, when she fought with dragon corpses and evil gods, she also had the experience of being seriously injured and dying for life, but her cultivation had never been sealed...... She hated the feeling of being bound.
Ghost Prison Thorn, this weapon is like its name, it is like a prison, trapping Gong Yu. This world suppressed the realm, making it impossible for her to break the cage with her strength.
"Master Ancestor......" Lin Shouxi wanted to ask about the injury.
"I ...... Ahem, I'm fine. ”
Gong Yu interrupted his questioning, his voice calm, but his arms were clenched tighter.
Now is not the time to be hypocritical, their top priority is to escape Si Duxue's pursuit, find a place to hide, heal from their injuries, and think in the long run.
Lin Shouxi and Xiao He stopped talking, the two of them pressed down their injuries and exhaustion, and kept running and jumping in the mountains and forests, they were not sure if there were pursuers behind them, and many times, they even felt that what was chasing them was only the boundless darkness.
The night is silent.
The chirping of the birds, the howling of the wild beasts at night, everything is distinctly distant.
They crossed the mountains and crossed the lake, obviously exhausted, but they seemed to have inexhaustible strength, Lin Shouxi and Xiao He invariably remembered the situation when they were chased by the dragon corpse when they were in the evil pool, and their hands tightened.
I ran for several hours in a row.
Lin Shouxi and Xiao He were so tired that their feet were about to lose consciousness, and they didn't know how far they had run, let alone where they were now, they were surrounded by towering trees, each tree looked exactly the same, and over time, it even gave people a sense of despair of spinning in place.
Rush out of the jungle.
In front of them was a natural pond of stagnant water, Lin Shouxi and Xiao He raised their heads, and when they saw the clear light sprinkled all over the pond, shining with silver light, they couldn't help but slow down.
It is impossible to find wooden houses and ruined temples in such a place.
They decided to rest here.
The road was bumpy, but Gong Yu still fell asleep on Lin Shouxi's back, and when she fell asleep, her red lips moved slightly, as if she was saying something, Lin Shouxi listened closer, and found that she was softly shouting 'Master'.
Master......
It seems that this master of the ancestor is indeed of great significance to her, so much so that she never forgets it when she is seriously injured and unconscious. Although Lin Shouxi had a lot of complaints about this great-master who he had never met, he was also curious about what kind of person it was.
Lin Shouxi looked at the shoulder that was deeply embedded in the flesh and blood of the ancestor, and wanted to uncover her clothes to observe the injury, but his hand touched the placket, suddenly stopped, turned to look at Xiao He, and said, "I'll help the ancestor check the injury." ”
"There are priorities, I ...... Is it that unreasonable? Xiao He half-knelt on the ground and muttered softly, his petite body undulating from exertion.
Lin Shouxi smiled weakly, and he carefully uncovered the flesh and blood of his ancestor.
The white robe of the outer cover was removed little by little along the direction of the shoulder, and the smell of blood came to the nostrils, and under the moonlight, Gong Yu's shoulders were exposed, and the originally smooth and jade-like fragrant shoulders were now blurred with flesh and blood. Lin Shouxi got some water from the pool and wiped the blood from her shoulder, and the injury was more clearly revealed.
The ghost prison thorn pierced deep into the shoulder, stabbing the flesh and bones, with it as the center, black lines grew like cracks, slowly spreading towards the position of her heart.
Lin Shouxi stretched out his hand, grabbed one end of the ghost prison thorn, and tried to pull it out, but this was completely different from ordinary arrow wounds, when the thorn was pulled, he even had an illusion of unloading the limbs of the ancestor, in a coma, the red lips of the ancestor opened slightly, and let out a trembling groan at the end, Lin Shouxi didn't dare to try again, so he could only wait for her to wake up and then discuss the solution.
On the other side, Xiao He was also lying on the ground.
Lin Shouxi was exhausted himself, but he still insisted on coming to Xiao He's side to help her check her injuries.
Only then did he realize that Xiao He's right arm and lower abdomen were covered with blood, which was the injury left by the confrontation with the goddess of admiration, which was not serious, but the injury was aggravated by a night of running.
On the girl's lower abdomen, blood continued to spill out, and the lower skirt was wet, but she was wearing black, which was not conspicuous.
Lin Shouxi uncovered her clothes, his fingers slid over the girl's flat lower abdomen, clicked on her acupuncture points, and helped her stop the bleeding, and then, he carefully flipped Xiao He over and made her lie on a natural rock slab, injecting her true qi and treating her injuries.
True Qi entered the body, and Xiao He, who was also extremely tired and on the verge of coma, slowly opened his eyes.
She had no strength at all, her hands were hanging down, lying weakly, her powdered calves were limp and motionless, the soles of the mille-feuille shoes were a little frayed, and there were abrasions on her ankles from the time she crossed the thorn forest, oozing a faint trace of blood.
She lay meekly and let Lin Shouxi do it.
After helping Xiao He briefly treat the wound and treat the injury, he sent his hand to Xiao He's mouth.
"What's wrong?" Xiao He asked softly.
"Drink my blood and regain some strength." Lin Shouxi said.
"Don't ......" Xiao He subconsciously refused.
Lin Shouxi didn't give her room to refuse, he pulled out the Zhan Palace, directly cut his wrist, and sent it to Xiao He's lips, Xiao He didn't want him to be injured in vain, so he had to open his small mouth, bit his arm, and sucked blood in small mouthfuls while helping him lick his wounds with his tongue.
After drinking some blood, Xiao He's spirit improved a little, she looked at Lin Shouxi's muscular forearms full of blue and white scars, and couldn't help but ask with concern: "Why are there so many injuries?" Was it left behind by the killers down the mountain? ”
Lin Shouxi looked at Xiao He quietly and did not answer.
Xiao He was puzzled, only to see Lin Shouxi untie the clothes on his chest, revealing a solid chest, the wound on his chest was more serious, and a large area of blood had not disappeared.
"Are they so heavy?" Xiao He pursed his lips and said distressedly.
"This is your ......," Lin Shouxi sighed.
"......" Xiao He was also stunned.
Lin Shouxi looked at Xiao He's slightly stunned gaze, and finally couldn't bear it, he raised his slap and slapped it at the girl's plump and straight buttocks, the girl groaned softly, she buried her cheeks in the snow hair, tensed her slender legs, and surprisingly did not reprimand.
After that, the girl lay quietly in his arms, her cheeks slightly red.
"Sleep for a while, I'll keep a vigil for you." Lin Shouxi rubbed the girl's snow hair and said.
"No, I'm with you." Xiao He said seriously.
After that, Gong Yu woke up.
She opened her eyes and looked at the young girl.
The moonlight is falling.
Lin Shouxi and Xiao He leaned on the big tree and hugged each other and fell asleep together.
