Chapter 61: The Grave Keeper
On the wasteland, Wu Yan was prostrate on the ground, his body was in severe pain, and he couldn't move for half a minute.
The sword had pierced through his body, piercing deep into the ground. Looking at the black shoes walking step by step in the distance, I couldn't help but feel hopeless.
Lin Ruoshi walked up to Wu Yan and sighed lightly: "I thought that it would be fun to have a character like you to temper with me. It's a pity that now, the gap between you and me is so big. I'll tell you the truth, I can wield two swords at the same time, and the other sword is already in ambush in the air, just waiting for you to take the bait. ”
"Hehe, you want to ...... If it weren't for your master here, who injured me with his sword qi first, who would have died or lived today.
Lin Ruoshi, I said that you are a coward, and I am not wrong. Now it seems that he is even more like a yellow-mouthed child, who can only act under the protection of his elders. Thinking of fighting with you in the past, it's really cheap. Wu Yan laughed miserably, spitting blood foam from time to time in his mouth, and looked disdainful.
Lin Ruoshi squatted down and said calmly: "Wu Gan, don't play this kind of agitation in vain, you and I are essentially the same kind of people, and we look down on honor and disgrace." As long as the goal is achieved, it is to make me wear women's clothes and laugh on the street. To tell you the truth, I really want to leave your life behind, and with you as my whetstone, I can also force me to do my best. ”
Wu Yan sneered, "Then you can let me go, and we will have a good fight in the future." Are you afraid that I will become your inner demon, so that it will be difficult to enter the way of the sword? ”
"Demons? Hehe, you think too highly of yourself. In my eyes, you are like a clown jumping off the beam, a mosquito in the twilight, not worth mentioning. Lin Ruoshi said disdainfully.
"Don't fool yourself, even your bullshit master can see it. Before you know it, you've seen me as your enemy. Lin Ruoshi, you can't even face this, how much you want to achieve in the future is a joke. Wu Yan gasped for breath, the pain of the wound came, and he even struggled to speak.
Lin Ruoshi was stunned, lowered his head and pondered for a moment, frowned, and said, "Think about it carefully, what you said is not unreasonable. Indeed, I try my best to think that you are just a little person who is not worth mentioning, but in essence I am trying to hide my powerlessness. Appeal ......"
With a sigh of relief, Lin Ruoshi said with relief: "Wu Gan, I have decided, let you go today, I don't believe it, with my strength and intelligence, I can't win against you, a bandit." ”
Standing up, Lin Ruoshi pulled out the sword on Wu Gan's body and saluted Wu Gan behind him.
Wu Yan was sweating in pain, and suddenly his heart moved slightly, and when he turned his head, he saw a monk coming to him at some point. The man's robes were worn out, with patches on them one after another. Seeing Lin Ruo's salute, the monk folded his hands and did not speak.
Returning to the middle-aged man's side, Lin Ruoshi said indifferently: "Master, please forgive the apprentice for not obeying the master's orders and letting this person go in vain." With this person often sharpening, the apprentice's sword path will not only not be broken, but will only become more and more solid. ”
The middle-aged man glanced at Lin Ruoshi in a little surprise, "It's decided." ”
"The vain has made up his mind."
"Okay, come with me to the teemaki. The killing intent in this is just used to sharpen swordsmanship. ”
The two of them walked towards the mound one after the other, and they didn't look at the monk.
Seeing the two leaving, the monk leaned down, turned Wu Gen over, and gently pressed his fingers on his chest, and suddenly the disordered blood and qi became calm. He also took out some powder and sprinkled it on Wu Gan's wound.
Holding Wu Yan in his arms, the monk was ready to leave.
Wu Yan was a little anxious, "Knife...... Knife. He pointed to the broken knife thrown in the distance.
The monk frowned slightly, but still picked up the knife and disappeared into the wind and sand with Wu Gan.
What is this place, how is it so dim? I don't know how long it took, Wu Yan slowly opened his eyes and looked at the dilapidated hut.
"Grandpa, he's awake." A crisp voice sounded, Wu Gen turned his head to look, only to see a girl with many pigtails and animal skins, shouting happily outside.
"Ji'er, I know, go and bring the minced meat from the pot." With the voice, an old man with gray hair and a dark face walked in, and when he saw Wu Gan, a smile appeared on his face, "Young man, don't move. Master Mu Ji has already treated the wound for you, but there is still some sword qi left in his body, which needs to be pulled out little by little. ”
Wu Yan said with difficulty, "Thank you for saving me, I don't know where this is." ”
The old man's face was kind, and he stretched out his hand to test Wu Gan's forehead, "This is a barren tomb, not a royal emperor, but a barbaric wilderness." The fever subsided, and he was still young, and such a serious injury finally came over. The master said, your body is already injured, and this injury is really a bit dangerous. ”
Wu Gan struggled to raise his head and looked at his tightly wrapped body, only then did he remember that he had been rescued by a monk.
On the territory of the Zhao Kingdom, the flow of monks is almost extinct. It is strange to see monks in this deserted place.
At this moment, there were cheerful footsteps at the door, and the little girl was holding a clay pot, her face flushed, and walked in quickly. As soon as she arrived in the house, the little girl quickly put the clay pot on the table and blew her little hands with her mouth, "Burned, burned." ”
The old man said lovingly, "I don't know if I have a piece of cloth on my hand." He turned his head to Wu Gen and said, "My name is Yu Shou, this is my granddaughter Chu Ji." Young man, I'll help you up and eat some minced meat, so that the injury will heal faster. ”
Saying that, the old man helped Wu Gen up, picked up a spoon and scooped out the boiled minced meat, and fed Wu Gen a spoonful to eat. Xiao Chuji watched Wu Yan swallow and unconsciously swallowed a few saliva. Sensing Wu Gan's gaze, he quickly covered his mouth, "Ji'er is not greedy, brother eats." ”
Wu Gan ate half a can, and hurriedly said, "My lord, the kid is already full, thank you for taking care of him." ”
Yu Shou looked at the clay pot and said with a wry smile: "Young man, the products here are not abundant, so you can take care of the rough food." Stretched out his hand and handed the clay pot to Yu Chuji, "Take it and eat it, you're hungry." ”
Xiao Chuji looked at the clay pot with hooked eyes, but waved his hand again and again, "Grandpa eats, Chuji is not hungry, you see, his stomach is still bulging." He said as he puffed out his stomach as hard as he could.
"Alas, grandpa has already eaten it when he was out hunting, this is specially reserved for you, eat it quickly."
"Really."
"Of course it's true."
"Then I'll eat it." Chu Ji happily took the clay pot and ate it in a big gulp, and after a while, half a jar of minced meat was eaten by her alone.
Wu Yan saw it in his eyes, and understood in his heart that he had already eaten the old man's food, and couldn't help but apologize, "My lord, this ......"
"Huh." The old man stopped Wu Gan, and only after the child took the clay pot away did he say, "You don't have to be so polite, just call my uncle." When you are old, you will not eat much, and you will not die of hunger. You have a good rest first, rest assured, everything is safe here. The old man covered Wu Jian with a thin quilt, turned around and went out.
Wu Gan gratefully watched him leave, his body was tired, and he fell into a deep sleep again. Lying on the bed, Wu Gan's face was ugly, and he always dreamed of a knife in his sleep, and he was fighting with a sword.
When I woke up again, it was already dark. As soon as he opened his eyes, a pair of big black eyes were looking at him intently, "You're awake, what's your name?" ”
Looking at Chu Ji's curious expression, Wu Yan smiled and told his name, and with Chu Ji's help, he reluctantly sat up. The curtain was lifted, and the monk called Muji walked in. looked at Wu Gan's face and stretched out two fingers on his wrists.
After a while, Mu Ji's face softened, "The sword qi raging in the main body has been restrained, and this sword qi has penetrated deep into the viscera, and the slightest carelessness may break the meridians of the whole body and cut off the future of the martial arts." I wanted to wait for the donor to get better, and the poor monk would make another move, but I didn't expect that the donor had already pressed it down on his own, which was a great thing. ”
Thinking of the scene in last night's dream, Wu Yan realized in his heart that this Lin Ruoshi kept letting himself go, and in essence, he hid such a hand for himself. Boy, you're ruthless.
Seeing that Wu Gan's body was no longer in serious trouble, Mu Ji spoke: "If the donor can rely on his own cultivation to grind away the sword qi little by little, it may be an opportunity. Of course, the poor monk can also help the donor pull out the sword qi. ”
Thinking back to the situation that day, Lin Ruoshi suddenly changed his mind, I am afraid that he also noticed the arrival of Mu Ji, Wu Yan couldn't help but be curious: "But the master recognizes the two people?" ”
Mu Ji shook his head and said: "I don't recognize it, it's just that I met by chance outside, and the poor monk received a sword from the old man, and since then, I will no longer embarrass the poor monk when we meet again." ”
Watching Mu Ji say this sentence lightly, Wu Jian was secretly shocked in his heart, Master Lin Ruoshi's strength had been personally taught, and a sword qi could put him to death, but Mu Ji took a sword and was unharmed, no wonder the two would easily let him go.
"Master, this sword qi should be wiped out by me little by little, it can be regarded as a kind of cultivation." Wu Yan wanted to have a good understanding of Lin Ruoshi's sword qi, and when they met again, they would be prepared.
"Good. The donor has a good rest. Saying that, Mu Ji went out, and didn't mention the matter of changing the medicine, as if he wanted Wu Jian to get through by himself.
On the third day, Wu Gen was finally able to go down to the ground, leaned against the wall and went out, looking around, he couldn't help but be a little surprised.
No wonder this place is called the Deserted Tomb, look up, the mountains are full of large and small graves, one by one, I don't know how many people have been buried.
Yu Shou, who was weaving the basket, saw Wu Yan and helped him sit down under the eaves. Today, the sun is clear and the sun is warm, which is quite pleasant.
After some conversation, Wu Genfang learned that Yu Shou was a family of tomb keepers. It has been multiplied from generation to generation, in order to take care of the countless graves in front of him.
It was the turn of Yu Shou's generation, who took over this position from the age of forty to the elderly, and never left this cemetery. Of course, before the age of forty, the grave keeper can go out to marry a wife and have children, otherwise this line would have been extinct long ago.
Chu Ji's parents are the same, they gave birth to Xiao Chu Ji and wanted to grow up with him outside. However, during a hunt, the two unfortunately fell into the fog, and desperately sent Chu Ji back and swallowed their breath.
Wu Yan sighed secretly, if he died like this, I am afraid that the two of them had turned into monsters at that time, but they didn't want others to find out, and there was no need to delve into how it ended.
When asked about Mu Ji's origin, Yu Shou was also a little confused, only saying that this person was from another continent and was an ascetic. After traveling to Starfall Plain, he saw that the soldiers were disturbed by the fog, so he stayed behind to help heal the poisoned ones.
This stay is more than 20 years, during which I tried various methods, but there was little success. Later, after going to the barren tomb, he suddenly realized that Chu Ji was cured by him.
Thinking that at the beginning, Chu Ji also had signs of poisoning, and Mu Ji worked hard to finally save her. Since then, Mu Ji has lived here with his ancestors and grandchildren, devoted himself to research, and went out from time to time to practice medicine for the soldiers.
In the afternoon, the originally warm weather suddenly deteriorated, and the western sky was covered with black fog, and the black pressure overflowed. When I arrived in the area of the barren tomb, I held on to the white gas rising in the tomb, and actually formed two big whirlpools, which were mixed with each other, which looked quite spectacular.
Wu Yan looked at this scene in surprise, he didn't expect that in this barren land, there would be such a magnificent and strange celestial phenomenon.
In a daze, Yu Shou beside him spoke, "It is from this that Master Mu Ji realized the method of treating the soldiers. ”
"Oh." Wu Yan turned his head in surprise.
