It didn't take long for the gentle collision and friction between the armors to sound behind him, and it wasn't the demons, it was Hu Qian
These voices suddenly began to sound from a certain distance behind her, which means that her skills are actually much better than expected, and these sounds are just her initiative to signal her to come. Xiao Xia turned around and turned his head, and saw the puppet-like figure of the female incense master of the Shenji Hall, whose whole body was covered under the armor of the machine.
"Lord Hu Xiang, do you have any advice?" Xiao Xia arched his hand.
"Is it convenient to speak?" Hu Qian pointed to the girl in white on the ground, and her voice was very soft.
The girl should be awake, but it seems that Hu Qian doesn't know. But Xiao Xia thought about it and nodded.
"I've said it before, I can see you're a smart guy. I'm sure you've seen why we're stuck in this woods. Husie's voice floated faintly from under his helmet.
Xiao Xia probably understood what she wanted to say, but after thinking about it, she still shook her head: "I didn't see it." Hu Xiang, please make it clear. ”
Hu Qian snorted lightly in her helmet and seemed to smile, and she continued: "There are a total of three hundred and ninety-five marks on the road today, a total of six thousand and fifty-three paintings, which means that we have traveled more than eighty-seven miles. I'm so glad you're sorry. ”
"Don't dare to be. This is what I should do as an unknown junior. Natsu smiled. "But Lord Hu Xiang, you also remember it so clearly, it's really fortunate. ”
"Well, I remember it all very well. You've got 25 places wrong. ”
"Oh, maybe I drew too much, and I made a mistake for a while. I'm really sorry. ”
"But in five of them, even the direction is marked backwards, and they are all a 'one'. Then there are five 'of' characters indicating that the direction is to the right, and the last stroke of the ten consecutive portraits is all to the left. Do you want to say it's because you don't have a good habit of writing and drawing?"
"Lord Hu Xiang is really good-natured, extremely smart, and even guessed this little problem. Xiao Xia smiled bitterly.
"I really admire you for having the heart to say such nonsense at such a time. Hu Qian didn't mean to be happy at all, just sighed slightly, but the fire reflected from the eyes under the helmet was as cold as ice. "But you should know that I didn't come here to talk nonsense with you. ”
Xiao Xia nodded, and asked lightly, "Could it be that Lord Hu Xiang will still come to discuss with me how to deal with the Fury Destroying Master?"
Regarding this seemingly unbelievable question, Hu Qian did not show any surprise, and still said coldly: "Since you are taking the initiative to test him, and you know that he is playing ghosts, then you should understand that we have no way out except to join forces to deal with him and break this puzzle."
Xiao Xia sighed, which is exactly what he confirmed today. He did deliberately make a few mistakes in the road signs left along the way, and Hu Qian may have paid attention to it, but it is impossible for the anger extinguishing who walked at the front of the team to know, but after the monk turned back to check, he said that there was no change.
"This Tree Demon Relic Formation was originally left by his Pure Land Zen Monastery when he exterminated the Tree Demon, so he naturally didn't need to go back to see any formation changes, because the changes in this forest were already in his hands. He's just looking for an opportunity to wipe us all out and bury us in this demon array. Every time I use the excuse to explore this demon array, most of them are to manipulate the operation of the formation and trap us together. ”
Xiao Xia listened to Hu Qian's words quietly, neither agreeing nor disagreeing, but suddenly asked, "When did Lord Hu Xiang start to doubt him?"
"Probably like you, from the moment this demon broke his spell. Hu Qian's eyes swept over the white-clothed girl on the ground, even if it was covered by a helmet, her eyes were as sharp as a knife, and she wished she could be cut open to see clearly. "Buddhism is originally benevolent and auspicious, but this demon can use the law to break the law to shake the injury and extinguish anger, and it is also the same three-character fundamental mantra of Fuxian Rulai, which can only show that her Dharma realm is much higher than the anger extinguished. And the name of the spell used by this demon in a hurry to extinguish his anger is clearly a Buddhist supernatural power. In the end, this demon did not appear in its original form under the Qiantian lock demon talisman, maybe it is also related to Buddhism. ”
Xiao Xia nodded. Hu Qian was right, at least that's what he thought.
"This demon clearly has a big secret related to his Buddhism. Whether we want to keep this secret or save the face of the Buddha, there are enough reasons to stop us. ”
"Then why doesn't Lord Hu Xiang think he just did it?" Xiao Xia asked. With the mana and martial arts that the angry monk showed Xiàn, all the rest of them were far from being opponents even if they joined forces.
"Quite simply, he's not 100% sure. Hu Qian sneered. "There are three of us, and if only one of them escapes and leaks the news, his reputation in the Pure Land Monastery will not be restored even if he does a thousand more pujas. He must first use other tactful methods to weaken us first, such as using the remains of this demon array, such as using the Yunzhou barbarian who has almost demonized. ”
The three people in Hu Qian's mouth naturally refer to herself, Xiao Xia, and Li Yutang Yunzhou Dahan can no longer be regarded as a person in her eyes from the beginning.
"That barbarian borrowed other people's natal demon souls to make up for the numbers, probably just wanted to mix into the Luoshui Gang as a guest to eat. Such little people in the rivers and lakes do not measure their own strength, and play with clever and small means, but the result is self-inflicted, and in the end, even if they are crazy, they have to be used as tools. He took the initiative to forcibly attract the demon soul into his body, and even if his mind couldn't bear it, he forcibly suppressed the demon soul in the depths of his soul with the power of Buddhism. Where does that treacherous barbarian have any mental fortitude to fight against the beast soul, but he can still maintain some sanity in a short period of time, and after a little longer time, the beast soul in the depths of the soul will completely merge with the divine soul. He is indeed of Yunzhou blood, and it is only a matter of time before he is completely assimilated into a half-human, half-beast monster. You should also have noticed that the brute didn't care about extinguishing his anger when he was almost out of control twice, and it was clear at a glance. ”
Speaking of this, Hu Qian's eyes flashed. "It was only later that I realized that when you gave the barbarian food, on the one hand, you did not have the confidence to deal with him, and on the other hand, you also wanted to hold it steady until the anger returned, and then he would have another attack, and the anger could not stay out of it anyway, and you could see more flaws, and maybe there would be an opportunity. ”
"Lord Ehu Xiang is really very smart, and he is like a god. Xiao Xia was stunned when she heard this, and had to sigh. This Divine Machine Hall Incense Master is indeed very smart, but maybe he is also too smart.
The expression under the helmet moved, and Hu Qian seemed to smile: "Only smart people can understand smart people." That's why I came to you quietly. ”
Xiao Xia's expression was a little unnatural, as if he was flattered and at a loss, and whispered, "Thanks to Lord Hu Xiang." Maybe he is a little clever in the next place, but his martial arts are low, and it is difficult to reach the elegant hall with a talisman in one hand, and once he starts to do it, he may not be able to help much. If Lord Hu Xiang needs help, why don't you go to Li Daxia?"
"I only work with smart people, I'm not interested in wasting time with stupid people. Hu Qian sneered.
Xiao Xia nodded. This is indeed true, if he wants to deal with this Qingzhou hero, he doesn't need to waste any time.
"The reason why man is superior to beasts is because he uses his brain. Not everything needs to be fought and killed to have a result. So it's not that important to be skilled or something. The faint smile under the helmet became more and more obvious, and it was only at this time that the incense master of the Divine Machine Hall finally revealed the vivid taste of some people, not the kind of cold and accurate as the machine. "This time the departure to pursue the young gang master was sudden, probably except for the dry food you habitually brought with you, and I have a spare marching pill, everyone else is not prepared. I didn't bring anything to eat, and the water was just replenished at Lanlin Temple. ”
"I'm running out of food. Xiao Xia smiled bitterly.
"It's not a big deal if you don't eat, and you don't necessarily starve to death for ten days and half a month. It's not a bad thing that you gave all the food to that brute before, and you know that you are the worst, and even if you keep it, you won't be able to eat it yourself. Really?"
"In these respects, man is no different from a beast. Xiao Xia still smiled bitterly. "Fortunately, I can barely cope with it in a month by eating bark and grass roots. ”
Hu Qian continued: "But if you don't have water to drink, you may not be able to survive for five or six days. ”
Xiao Xia nodded. He had tasted it too. In fact, it doesn't take five or six days, as long as three or four days of hard work does not get a drop of water, people can even drink their own urine with relish.
"But I know we're not going to run out of water to drink. Because you're going to have a condensation spell. This is just a five-element charm of the lower eight grades, and with the caution you carry even dry food with you, this low-level talisman will definitely be. ”
"Lord Hu Xiang is really clever. Natsu continued to nod. Hu Qian was indeed right, this spell is just an introductory spell of the Five Elements Sect, which can gather scattered water vapor in the air into water droplets, and it is usually rare for someone to learn this kind of low-level talisman that is almost useless, but he does. There was plenty of moisture in the woods, and he had no problem straining enough to feed three or four people.
Hu Qian stretched out her hand, and in her soft-armored gloved palm was a small pill, which was as dark red as a corpse spot in the moonlight and the campfire.
"At that time, just look for an opportunity to quietly mix this pill into the water to extinguish your anger. It's very simple, it doesn't take much effort, and there is no danger of fighting, that's how smart people do. ”
Although the voice of the female incense master of the Divine Machine Hall was small, it was categorical and unquestionable, just like the parts of the mechanism on her body, it was impossible to have the slightest error.
###
Hu Qian is gone.
As when it came, the seemingly bloated machine armor no longer had the slightest sound of friction when it was moving in normal times, and slowly melted into the shade of the trees in the distance like a cat. A truly smart person is one who never lets others know how smart they will be, so that they can do something smart that others will never think of.
Xiao Xia picked up the small pill in his hand and smelled it, there was no smell at all, and it must have melted into the water without anyone noticing anything unusual. Shenjitang is not only proficient in mechanical equipment, in fact, as long as it is usable, useful, and can be more efficient than brute force, they are very interested in and proficient in anything.
Looking at this smart man's little thing, Xiao Xia smiled and said softly, "Is that what smart people do?"
The old monk said that the demons did just that. The girl in white on the ground opened her eyes, smiled too, and whispered.
"Who is the old monk?"
"I don't know. It's just an old monk. ”
Xiao Xia thought for a while and asked, "Are your Buddhist spells taught to you by this old monk?"
The girl shook her head and said, "He didn't teach it." Even if he taught, I wouldn't be able to learn. Those spells were originally his. ”
"What do you mean?"
"The old monk gave me all his spells, and he said that he was dying, and it was useless to keep them. ”
Although Xiao Xia didn't understand everything, she did understand a little. Hu Qian is indeed right, the Buddhist spells are originally benevolent and auspicious, but the girl can use the exact same spell to shock the angry monk to vomit blood and internal injuries, this is no longer a gap between profound skills, but a gap in the realm, or a gap like a child.
"Could it be that you skinned the young gang leader and those people, and killed so many people, is it also the old monk who asked you to do it?" Xiao Xia suddenly became very curious about this Buddhist master.
"Nope. The old monk said that I can do what I want, and I can do what I have to do. ”
"Then why do you want to do this?"
Because they do the same. My father, mother, brother, and sister were all skinned and sunburned in this way. ”
The girl's voice was still so light, so soft, so good-sounding, even her eyes were so light and quiet, Xiao Xia was sure that there was indeed not the slightest resentment and viciousness in it, but he still felt a chill dipping from the back of his neck down, soaking into his internal organs. He wanted to throw up again.
After being bored for a long time, Xiao Xia asked another question that even he thought was nonsense: "Then what are we, the heroes of the rivers and lakes who are just here to help the fist, die at your hands?"
Sure enough, the girl looked like she had heard nonsense, and said, "Aren't you all working for money?
"You're right, it's fair. ”
After saying this, Xiao Xia closed her eyes and felt very tired for no reason. Before he knew it, he was finally asleep.
