Chapter 9: "Die before you get out of school"
The air followed the purple-shirted woman, along the mountain road, turned left and right, and after a while, the shadowless sword soul was thrown out of the distance. But the two still did not dare to stay, and urged the horses to continue to slow down. "Girl, where are we going?" ”。 The purple-shirted woman replied: "My master Shi Shen Doctor went into the mountain to visit the deceased, and the higher mountain opposite is Xianjian Peak, aren't you looking for my master." He nodded and said, "I see, there is Miss Lao." As they spoke, the two of them ran for dozens of miles, but when they turned around, they could still see the shadow of the Shadowless Sword You Soul chasing after them.
After running forward for a few more moments, the two suddenly noticed a suspended bridge in front of them. This suspension bridge is pulled by two thick ropes on the left and right, and the planks and ropes are tied together, and the middle is completely suspended. He looked at the suspension bridge and asked, "Can this suspension bridge withstand our crossing?" The woman in the purple shirt replied, "Let's see." When the two approached, they jumped off their horses, and the cold wind blew on their faces. I wrapped my clothes involuntarily, stretched out my head to look down, and saw that it was dark and not in the middle of winter, and there was no bottom in sight.
Likong was scared and said: "It's so deep down there, once you stumble, you will be crushed." The woman in the purple shirt also sighed: "Can this bridge be a little thinner, look at the plank, it is so thin that I can break it with one hand, how can it bear the weight of the two of us, if it falls, it will definitely die." Empty sighed and said hurriedly: "How is that good!" Let's go back and find another way, the little monk thinks that You Soul is chasing us, and he may not want to kill us. The purple-shirted woman shook her head and said, "This person is ruthless, and if he turns back, he will be killed." He replied: "Everything is borne by the little monk, and the little monk will intercede for you." The little monk thought that he would not harm the girl, and the girl must not take this dangerous bridge, and her life was lost in vain. The woman in the purple shirt didn't seem to be in a hurry at all, nor was she afraid, and joked: "At a critical juncture, little monk, you can still think about me, do you like me?" He said shyly: "Where did the girl say, the little monk, as a man, should stand up and protect the girl." The purple-shirted woman chuckled and said, "Little monk, you are so good, and it is also a blessing for this girl to meet you." Seeing that You Soul was getting closer and closer, the two of them had not yet made up their minds.
At this moment, the woman in the purple shirt jumped on the suspension bridge and stepped on it hard, but the plank was not broken, so he beckoned Kong to hurry down. But he was worried that the suspension bridge would not be able to bear the weight of the two of them at the same time, so he said: "Girl, go over quickly, and the little monk can block it for you." The woman in the purple shirt saw that she couldn't come down, so she was angry and anxious, so she flew up again and pushed the air down.
As he walked in front, he could only hear the sound of the wooden planks "Karma, Quack" under his feet, as if it was about to break. And the woman in the purple shirt was light and followed behind, trying to help him stabilize the shaking of the suspension bridge.
In the blink of an eye, the Shadowless Sword You Soul chased after him, and as soon as he saw the pontoon bridge, he immediately flew off his horse and dismounted. He saw that the bridge was so thin, and the bottom of the bridge was even deeper, so he didn't dare to rush on the bridge, and saw that the two of them were in the middle of the bridge, so he shouted loudly: "You two beware, this bridge is easy to break, Lao Tzu chased after you two, just to get back the burden, and there is no malice." Hearing You Soul say this, he turned his head to the purple-shirted woman and said, "The little monk is right, he won't kill the two of us." The purple-shirted woman snorted and replied, "Knowing people and knowing faces but not hearts, how can you be sure that he is not tricking us?" "This 、、、、" was an empty mute.
The woman in the purple shirt turned to You Soul and asked loudly, "What kind of burden did you take, we haven't seen each other." You Soul was so angry that he couldn't cry and laughed: "Then what are you carrying on your back?" The purple-shirted woman touched the burden on her body with her hand back, and asked Kongdao: "Brother Qiji, isn't this yours?" He said blankly: "This is not a little monk's thing." The woman in the purple shirt suddenly realized: "I see." But, then I thought in my heart, since I took something by mistake, how can I return it easily, this scar man is extremely rude, pinched my arm so painfully, and injured Brother Qi Ji, so he smiled and said: "This is your burden, then you come and take it, can't you let this girl give it with both hands?" You Soul was very helpless, turned around twice on the ground, and said in a slightly slower tone: "How can this pontoon bridge withstand the weight of three people, come back quickly, I promise not to hurt you in the slightest."
At this time, the two of them were already in the middle of the bridge, and when they came, the bridge plate had been broken, and if they really wanted to turn back, they would not be able to break it when they stepped on it for the second time. Therefore, the woman in the purple shirt scolded: "To turn back is to die!" Likong thought that the woman in the purple shirt meant: You Soul was deceiving the two of them, and they would be harmed when they went back, so he said: "Girl, I don't think he has any intention of harming him, so it's better to go back." The purple-shirted woman shook her head and said softly: "Brother Qiji, look at how much the bridge behind this has been broken by the two of us, wouldn't it be self-defeating to go back." "It's only then that I understood.
But Na You Soul still thought that the two of them would not come back, so in a fit of anger, relying on his own light work, he also flew on the pontoon bridge, rubbing, rubbing, rubbing and chasing forward. But this pontoon bridge is too shabby, and the weight of the two can barely bear it, where can it withstand the three people. Just listen to "Bang! With a sound, the two thick ropes on the left and right began to break from the most stressed position in the center of the bridge, and the bridge was broken into two in an instant. You Soul was glad that he hadn't gone far, and at the moment when the bridge broke, he grabbed the thick rope and performed light skills to escape.
And the empty and the purple-shirted woman were not so lucky. When the suspension bridge broke, the sky eagerly grabbed the thick rope and began to fall with the broken bridge. The woman in the purple shirt only felt a light under her feet, and subconsciously grabbed a handful upward, thinking that she could catch the broken rope, but she was a step too late, and when she was desperate and frightened, she felt that she was going to die, when suddenly a hand grabbed her wrist.
The woman in the purple shirt hit the stone wall when she descended, and she was relieved. She found that the little monk was struggling to grasp the thick rope with one hand and herself with the other. But this thin rope could not bear the weight of the two of them, and it was about to break, so she persuaded Sora to let go quickly, but Sora was indifferent. The purple-shirted woman urged: "Brother Qi Ji, let go, maybe you still have a chance to live." But he insisted: "To live together, to die together." When the woman in the purple shirt heard him say this, she was moved in her heart, with tears in her eyes, and said: "Brother Qiji, you are so good." But he replied: "Amitabha." At the moment when the rope broke, the purple-shirted woman screamed in a heart-splitting voice: "Brother Qi Ji, remember, my name is Zhang Ning, and I will find you in the next life!" With that, the two fell into the abyss together.
The two of them fell together. At first, he felt that the scenery in front of him was rapidly receding, and his ears were filled with the sound of whistling wind. Then the heart-rending pain struck like a tide, because the trees that grew on the cliffs, and the branches that stretched out, had already cut him into a thousand holes, and his flesh and blood were flying. Eventually, the pain was gone, and all that was left in his mind was a blank space.
When Sora woke up, he found that he had never been so comfortable, so awake. He lay peacefully, without a trace of wind or sound in his ears. He thought he was dead and ascended to bliss. But when he opened his eyes slowly, although he didn't see the sun, the sky was still bright. He tried to remember how he died, but he only remembered that the woman in purple shirt said that her name was Zhang Ning before she fell off the cliff, and how she fell later, but he couldn't remember anything.
He struggled to sit up, but he didn't dare to move, because if he did, the pain in his heart would spread throughout his body. It was only at this point that he realized that he was not dead, but he just didn't know how long he had been lying here, a day, two days, or three days? Anyway, the wounds on his body are no longer bleeding. He began to try to stretch his feet, and his feet could move, and then he moved his hands, and his fingers were fine. He was very relieved in his heart, and said in his heart: It is a blessing to fall from such a high place and not die, but I didn't expect that my hands and feet have not been broken, and this is thanks to the Buddha's appearance, no, I should be grateful for the blessing of my ex-wife.
In fact, the reason why he is okay is because every year the trees on the cliff cliff have fallen countless dead branches and leaves, after years of accumulation, they have already been paved into a thick layer at the bottom of the valley, like a natural cotton pad, and he fell from a high place, and was blocked by many branches and leaves, the decline speed is naturally slowed down, and finally fell on this thick mat formed by the accumulation of dead branches and leaves, so as to save his life. Li Kong was thinking wildly, and suddenly remembered Zhang Ning, a woman in a purple shirt, so he gritted his teeth and reluctantly insisted on sitting up and looking around. How he wished she could live, although the two had never known each other before, but at this moment, the two had experienced life and death together after all.
He suddenly noticed that there was a pool of stagnant water not far in front of him, which was crystal clear and without a trace of ripples, and the water surface was not wide, extending all the way into the stone wall. Thinking that this valley is so strange, surrounded by stone walls on all sides, like a big horn facing the sky, and the horn mouth is open on the bridge that falls off the cliff. He was also curious, stood up with difficulty, and looked around for Zhang Ning.
Suddenly, as soon as he turned around, he found a man, buried in a haystack, motionless and dead. He endured the pain and walked over, and found that it was the woman in the purple shirt, only to see that her clothes were torn, her skirt was cut into strips, and the burden was intact, still on her back. Her left leg and right arm were pressed by her body, and the shoes on her feet were long gone.
Sora shook her body and called in her ear a few more times, but he didn't respond at all. Sora shook his head, sadly thinking that she was dead, but when he reached out and touched her neck, he realized that she was not dead, but only unconscious. So I was very happy, put my heart down, sat down in front of her, thanked the Buddha Amitabha, and prayed for her sincerely.
I saw that she didn't wake up for a long time. So she went to the water's edge and wet a rag, and came back to wipe her face. After a while, Zhang Ning's eyes moved slightly, and he slowly regained consciousness. When she woke up, she couldn't believe that she was still alive, and when she saw the little monk beside her, she suddenly became excited and excited. She didn't seem to feel the pain at this time, but hugged the empty neck, crying and laughing.
Likong was hugged by her neck tightly, wanting to break free, after all, men and women can't kiss, why bother that he is still a monk, but seeing that she is so excited, and she has just experienced life and death, she will move again, just comforting: "Miss Zhang Ning, it's okay, don't be afraid!" Sora comforted her for a while, and then asked her if she was hurt, where did it hurt? Zhang Ning remembered the pain at this time, and stopped crying and laughing, and after letting go of his hand, he began to shout "oops, oops" and kept shouting pain.
Let her move her hands and feet to see if there are any injuries. Zhang Ning tried this time, only to find that the pressed left leg could no longer move. Zhang Ning was originally from a medical background, and he expected that his left leg was broken. He scratched his head and didn't know what to do, but Zhang Ning was very calm, asked him to find a strong tree trunk, and then taught him how to straighten the broken bones and how to tie the trunk to the broken limbs.
After a while, the two looked at each other and smiled. Zhang Ning smiled: "Fortunately, this girl knows a little about medical skills, but unfortunately there is no medicine, it would be better if there was medicine, Brother Qi Ji, I see that you are also injured all over your body, does it hurt?" Seeing that she was injured, she still cared about herself, and said gratefully: "Fortunately, the little monk is all skin injuries, thank you for the girl's concern." Don't worry about me now, you're hurt more than me, you should be in more pain, right? Zhang Ning endured the pain and said: "At first, it hurt, but it was bandaged, and now Dao doesn't feel very painful, but he is thirsty and hungry." He turned around and pointed to the waterhole and said, "Don't worry, girl, the little monk will go get water." So saying, he went to the water's edge and fed her with water in both hands. Zhang Ning took a sip, his eyes were a little moist, and he said with a smile: "Brother Qi Ji, you call me Sister Zhang Ning, don't always be a girl, I don't feel comfortable listening to it." Seeing her say this, how can I make this a monk, how can I be called a brother and sister, I want to refuse, but I am afraid that she will be sad, and I see her pitiful appearance, so I have to nod and say: "Okay, you are younger than me, just call you Sister Zhang Ning." Zhang Ning saw that he agreed, and his heart was very happy.
He raised his head and looked up, sighed and said, "Such a high mountain, I don't think we can go up." Zhang Ning said: "I don't think so, as the saying goes, there is no endless road, if you can't go up, maybe there is another way out." He smiled bitterly: "I saw it all just now, this place is surrounded by mountains, and I think there is really no way out this time." Zhang Ning was not desperate at all, but said happily: "Even if I can't go out, I can be with my brother, and I have no regrets about my sister." He shook his head helplessly and sighed, "Okay, let's take a step at a time, and after your legs are healed, we will find a way out." Zhang Ning smiled and said, "Brother Qi Ji, I think the most important thing for us now is to find something to eat, or we will starve to death before we wait to go out." Likong smiled bitterly: "But this deep valley is surrounded by mountains and rocks, how can there be food." Zhang Ning pointed to Tan Shui and said, "I see that the water is extremely clear, there must be fish, right?" He shook his head and said, "Monks, how can you kill." Zhang Ning pulled his empty arm and smiled: "My good brother, aren't you still vulgar." He touched his head and said blankly: "Yes, I have already decided to return to the vulgar, but I have not yet completed the master's life." He seemed to have an enlightenment, and walked towards the waterhole. Find out what happens next, and listen to the next analysis.
