When he woke up again, Lu Cheng's body was already wrapped in white bandages as if he had undergone a major operation.
He didn't know who was bandaging himself, he was so sloppy and rough, and he didn't know how long he had been in a coma, and according to his physical fitness, it should not be more than 24 hours.
Outside the curtain is the twilight view of the setting sun, and the preliminary estimate should be that it should have been a full day's sleep. The surrounding environment is still the guest room on the second floor of the "Dusk" café set up by the psychic station, and he also has an impression here when he wakes up after chasing the mind eater.
"Anyone?" Dragging his extremely heavy head, he sat up from the bed with difficulty.
Once injured by this sword, in addition to serious injuries, it will automatically attach nine negative states to the injured person, such as "weakness", "double pain", "palpitations", and "bleeding". When he used it against the enemy, he didn't feel anything, but when he really stabbed himself, he realized how vicious this thing was set up.
However, the physical sadness is secondary, and what Lu Cheng really cares about is the execution of himself from the side of the Hades Temple.
Mission failure is now inevitable. Although the definite statement to the outside world is that countless enemies have been annihilated, the fact is that he failed to bring back the head of the demon king as promised. He didn't know what happened to the other two people, but there was so much fog on the north road on the outskirts of the city that anyone who wasn't blind could tell that he had encountered a real dragon's lair.
Now thousands of prayers and thousands of prayers are to hope that the duo of Ye Xi and Zhang Lingduan will not be so lucky, and they have come all the way to touch a shadow nest. If they have something to gain, even if this beheading operation is a success, if both sides return to the feather in vain, then they will undoubtedly become the culprit of the public target and indisputable!
Why? Because you are the only one who has confronted the enemy head-on, and it is you who have let the enemy go!
Before leaving, the military order with Zhang Muyan was made by him, and now he has responsibility, even if others want to excuse themselves, they can't open their mouths.
Execution is definitely not possible, but once something goes wrong with him, King Bian Cheng, who has been protecting himself all the way, will inevitably be implicated. To be honest, Lu Cheng really didn't want to owe this Lord Yan more money. Among the ten halls of Yan Jun, who is really good to him and who is not used to him, he knows in his heart, but after all, it is still a matter of the future to regain control of the Hades Palace, if there is any punishment, the first one who can't escape is the old Taoist priest and the king of Bian Cheng!
"Sure enough, your kid's physical fitness is perverted enough, such a serious injury is a day to recover, and it is wishful thinking to want to get out of bed for ten days and half a month to our old body bones."
Listening to the voice, Lu Cheng knew who was walking outside the door.
"You handled these bandages on me?" He asked the old Taoist priest who was holding a teacup.
"Or else? Who else is so kind? The old Taoist priest smiled, sat down on the edge of the bed, and casually handed over the hot tea in his hand.
"Why am I so ugly...... Lu Cheng rolled his eyes, feeling thirsty, and after taking a sip of tea, his whole expression suddenly changed.
He is not a tea-loving person, but he is better than the world he has seen, from the "Tongyou" picked by the ghosts in the mountains to the "floating life" remade by the West Lake Longjing, these should only be in the sky, the world is rare to smell the rare tea, he has been fortunate to taste one or two. Because of this, although he doesn't know much about the types of tea, with the taste cultivated in and out of the elegant hall, the most basic tea quality can't escape his taste buds.
The cup in his hand couldn't tell what it tasted like, but before he entered his mouth, there was a faint medicinal fragrance in his nose. After entering the abdomen, there is a faint warm current that spreads to the five organs and the whole body with the bitterness.
According to the personality of the old Taoist priest, everything is simple when he goes out, sloppy, lazy and unkempt, and the cigarettes, teas and wines used are all the cheapest goods on the market. If he would drink this kind of famous tea, Lu Cheng didn't believe it in his heart.
"Where did you get this tea?" He frowned, while savoring the tea fragrance on the tip of his tongue, he looked at the old Taoist priest with surprise, and said in his heart that this guy is not an old tree in spring and has found his sweetheart, so he changed his temperament for a while, changed his life style and paid attention to the style of life?
"Delicious, right? This is a rare medicinal tea, the tea material is the legendary Tianshan Snow Lotus, there is nothing to be sold on the market, and only those losers who don't take money as money can rinse their mouths with this thing! As he spoke, the old Taoist priest took Lu Cheng's teacup and poured it into his mouth. With an indignant face, it seems that every sip in his mouth is a lot of money, and he doesn't waste a drop of money even though he can't taste it.
"Wouldn't it?!" Lu Cheng's eyes widened, "Where did you get such a rare thing?" ”
"It's not something I did." The old Taoist priest smiled hesitantly and returned the teacup to Lu Cheng, "If you want to thank you, thank you for that Bian Cheng Wang Daddy." It's not him, and other people can't do this, so in order to heal an injury, they take out this rare tea. Or how to say top to bottom wholeheartedly? Look at it like this, I don't believe that your kid is not his illegitimate child! ”
"What about others?" Lu Cheng gave him a blank look, too lazy to talk nonsense with him.
"The old guy is shy, probably thinking that he doesn't know what to say when he sees you, so he handed me something and left after paying attention to your injuries for a while. Father's love is like a mountain, so I want to raise a child or something. While speaking, the old Taoist priest also pretended to wipe away his tears, and it seemed that he had a lot of roles.
"Hey, you're enough......" Lu Cheng wiped his sweat, remembered something, and asked cautiously, "What about the result of my execution?" ”
"Executions? What execution? The old Taoist priest tilted his head, and it didn't look like he was on a line at all.
"Don't talk nonsense, do you think I'll believe that Zhang Muyan that guy will let me go so easily?" Lu Cheng smiled unceremoniously, he said in his heart that maybe his self-harm trick had an effect, and seeing that he was unconscious, he didn't start to hold him accountable for a while. After a while, he had already figured out whether he should pretend to be sick to the end, so he simply lay in bed for ten days and half a month, and waited for the limelight to pass. First, it is an excuse to avoid accountability for the accident, and second, it is also to make time to secretly investigate Zhang Muyan.
"I said, don't think too dark about this world, right?" The old Taoist priest touched his beard and shrugged his shoulders lightly, "What Zhang Muyan did at that banquet was indeed too much for us to see, but didn't you also find the place and didn't suffer at all?" With our elders supporting you, no matter how big the discord between him and you is, can he turn the sky upside down? Don't worry about the sky all day long, with your current status in the Temple of the Underworld, don't say it's his little Zhang Muyan, even if the old dog of Emperor Song wants to move you, he also has to see if his wrist is hard enough! ”
"Wait a minute? Are we talking about the same thing? Lu Cheng sensed something and frowned, "How was the result of Ye Xi and Zhang Lingduan's battle last night?" ”
"I ran all the way over, and it turned out to be the Shadow Nest. A team of people returned in vain, and they didn't catch their farts after working for most of the night. The old Taoist priest replied truthfully.
"But I'm a real dragon's lair over there!" Lu Cheng squinted his eyes, and he didn't figure out why, even so, the old Taoist priest still didn't realize the seriousness of the problem at all.
"Yes!" The old Taoist priest laughed inexplicably, "We already knew about it when you came back, do you need to repeat it?" ”
"With Zhang Muyan's character, I failed to complete the task, will he let me go so easily?" Lu Cheng leaned sideways and changed his sitting position, if it wasn't for the fact that his injuries were too serious, he would have stood up and confronted the old Taoist priest by now.
This time, he finally saw the expected expression on the other party's face.
The old Taoist priest's casual expression finally became serious after Lu Cheng's words, but after being silent for a while, he did not start a discussion of countermeasures, but glanced at Lu Cheng and asked, "Did you not wake up?" ”
Lu Cheng was a little confused, completely confused.
"What do you mean?"
"Tell me, what did you do after you found the Dragon's Lair last night?" The old Taoist priest sat in front of him, looking at him.
"I single-handedly annihilated most of the demons, but the remaining demon kings were really defeated after a wheel battle, and they were not killed, but released them back to the mountains and forests to protect their own names." Lu Cheng was stunned and said the words that had been prepared. This sentence only brought another solemnity on the old Taoist's face.
"I think you're probably a little too injured to drink tea, this thing is refreshing and not conducive to sleep. I'll ask Qianwei to prepare some soothing soup for you later, so you can rest more. He smiled, helped Lu Cheng calm down, and motioned for him to continue to rest.
"What do you mean, I ask?"
Of course, Lu Cheng, who was vaguely aware of something, could not be at his mercy, but as soon as he broke free like this, the scars caused by the famous sword Jiuge faintly cracked again.
Looking at the little scarlet that the white bandage gradually became clear, the old Taoist priest finally did not dare to slack off, but signaled Lu Cheng to calm down.
"Let me tell you what happened last night," he pressed Lu Cheng's body as he was about to stand up, "You escaped from the dragon's lair with serious injuries after being defeated under the siege of the demons. But soon, the convoy responsible for transporting you back was killed, and you have recovered and returned after killing all the monsters that raided you, in order to clear your desires and seize the opportunity to complete the final kill of the demon leader. ”
Glancing at Lu Cheng, whose whole face was already pale, the old Taoist priest continued.
"No one knows how you accomplished this seemingly impossible job, but the truth is that you managed to clear the entire Demon Dragon's Lair alone. Including the old demon king, the sixty-eight demons who had defected from the original demon concession were all killed. The one in charge of bringing you back to the Temple of the Underworld is the one who was stationed among the psychics who was not killed because he was in charge of the Broken Queen. When they found you, you were lying on the side of the road, lined with corpses all over the ground, and in your hands was the head of the old demon king. ”
