Chapter 9: The Night Talks
If necessary, Chu He could have died without saving him, but now there is no need for this.
Of course, Xu Wanqing wanted to save it, but not directly, at least not with the Chuyang Sword Technique. Chu He worked hard to dig out a Qinshui sword, wasn't it for this moment?
The sword soul that instantly pulled out the Qinshui Sword, his consciousness quickly calmed down, and Chu He came to the sword calamity diagram again. With the experience of the last time, Chu He naturally would not let his divine sense be overconsumed.
As Chu He expected, not long after entering the consciousness space, a Qinshui Daoist appeared and began to demonstrate the Qinshui Sword Technique for him......
It doesn't take time to learn the Qinshui Sword Technique, but from Chu He sitting cross-legged and entering the consciousness space, to letting the sword soul return to its place, there was still a short delay, so Xu Wanqing's situation became more and more difficult.
A long wound was torn out of her left thigh, and with every step she took, Xu Wanqing could feel the piercing pain. But she didn't dare to stop, because she knew that if she stopped, she would die in the wolf's belly.
The footsteps became heavier and heavier, and Xu Wanqing couldn't help but feel a trace of bitterness in her heart. She knew better than anyone how much the silver wolf behind her hated her.
It took more than half a day to circle and entangle the other party into that appearance, and once it fell into the hands of the other party, I am afraid that he would be killed in the most cruel way.
Although this silver wolf cultivated to fall and build a foundation, its wisdom did not weaken.
After running for several hours in a row, Xu Wanqing had already lost her way, and she didn't know where Lu Dao was at this time, let alone that she was about to leave the Phantom Forest.
The cry for help in her mouth gradually weakened, and Xu Wanqing knew that she had run out of gas, and even if she ran again, she would soon be caught up.
So she resolutely stopped and looked back at the silver wolf behind her.
Perhaps it was because the chase between the two was so protracted that Xu Wanqing suddenly stopped, and the Howling Moon Silver Wolf was stunned for a while, and did not dare to step forward for a while.
But it soon reacted, because Xu Wanqing's face was pale at this time, and after her body suddenly stopped, she began to tremble uncontrollably, which fully showed that she was at the end of her strong crossbow.
The silver wolf grinned, only to feel that the pain in his body had been reduced a lot. Although it couldn't see it, it could feel that the other's aura was rapidly weakening.
The silver wolf took a half step back, and Xu Wanqing knew that this was the action of the silver wolf charging forward to pounce.
A trace of despair flashed in her eyes, Xu Wanqing brackered herself and raised the long sword in her hand. No matter how dangerous the situation is, she has never had the idea of closing her eyes and waiting for death, maybe this woman is really a natural monk.
Everything is just like the singing in a third-rate opera, when a beautiful woman is dying, there will always be a young handsome man who will come to the hero to save the beauty.
Of course, the opportunity to appear was so ingenious, it was naturally the result of Chu He hiding aside and watching enough of the good show before making a move.
As one of the several important sword techniques handed down by the Xu family, the difficulty of the Qinshui sword technique was much higher than that of the Chuyang sword technique, so Chu He, who did not dare to immerse himself in it too much, only chose the most suitable sword to learn.
However, correspondingly to the difficulty, the power of the Qinshui Sword Technique was also surprisingly great, especially with the blessing of the sword soul in Chu He's sea of knowledge.
So in Xu Wanqing's sight, a bit of blue light lit up from behind the silver wolf, and instantly pierced the head of the silver wolf of the howling moon. Left in and right out, the moonlight reflected on the silver wolf's body immediately dimmed.
Mare's nest!
The most decisive move in the Qinshui Sword Technique, the sword intent is diametrically opposed to the name, and it is a sword style with no regrets in the true sense. She is practicing the Qinshui swordsmanship, and Xu Wanqing naturally recognized the origin of this sword at a glance.
So she breathed a sigh of relief. Although Jinghua Shuiyue can be used alone, because this sword is too decisive, the Xu family rarely allows their children to learn in advance, and those who can use this sword are often people with profound knowledge of Qinshui sword skills.
Of course, Chu He didn't know the mystery of Lu Dao, he only knew that Lu Dao killed the Howling Moon Silver Wolf with one sword, and it was a great success if he didn't let the light on this beast's body reflect his face.
Wolves have always been "copper-headed and iron-tailed tofu waists", but Chu He chose to start with his head. The reason behind this is that although the silver wolf has a fragile waist, only its head can guarantee a one-hit kill, and it will not let Xu Wanqing recognize him.
As soon as the Howling Moon Silver Wolf died, the boundless darkness in the Shadow Forest suddenly shrouded in, and Chu He and the two could vaguely perceive each other, but they couldn't see with their eyes.
"This junior sister, you're fine, right?" Chu He put away the Qinshui Sword and said in an extremely magnetic voice. Chu He doesn't know the legendary disguise technique, but he can still do it by simply changing his voice with his innate true qi.
Xu Wanqing raised her head in surprise, although she knew that the other party couldn't see it, she couldn't help but show a look of surprise.
The person who would appear here at this time, and who knew the water sword technique, was not sent by the family to save me? Xu Wanqing suddenly felt that her brain was a little insufficient.
"Senior sister?" Chu He saw that Xu Wanqing was silent for a long time, and hurriedly took two steps forward and asked anxiously.
He was worried that his plan would not go forward, but in Xu Wanqing's view, it was just that the other party was worried about his injury, and instead of doubting it, he relaxed a little.
"Wanqing has nothing to do, thank you brother for coming to the rescue. No matter who the person in front of her was, Xu Wanqing sincerely thanked her.
"It's just a gesture. Chu He smiled lightly and waved his hand. Although Xu Wanqing couldn't see it, Chu He believed that she could detect her movements.
The two exchanged a few words, and Xu Wanqing couldn't wait to ask, "Senior brother is also a member of my Xu family?"
"Yes, under Xu Zhi. Chu He smiled slightly, and then seemed a little surprised, "You...... A few years ago, when I was not yet a beginner, I heard about your reputation. ”
Xu Wanqing was noncommittal to Chu He's "heard", but said in a surprised tone: "Senior Brother Xu Zhi?
Chu He's pupils shrank, and he almost couldn't help but draw his sword to kill, but the careful thought from the scholar made him stop moving.
From childhood to adulthood, you will call you senior brother? Heh, although this woman is lively, she has never experienced such a situation after all, but she is a little messy.
"What kind of play from childhood to adulthood, I'm afraid that my junior sister has recognized the wrong person, right?" Chu He's tone was a little self-deprecating, and he said half-truthfully, "Xu Zhi is just a branch of the sect, how can he ever meet with his junior sister?"
Chu He's answer did not pause, not even a little reluctantly, and finally made Xu Wanqing completely relieved.
"It's Wanqing who confessed her mistake, that person just has the same name as her senior brother. Xu Wanqing naturally couldn't say that she was tempting, and Chu He didn't mean to embarrass her, so she went down this step.
The two talked a few more words, and Chu He asked Xu Wanqing to deal with the injury briefly, and then put forward the idea of waiting in place and waiting for the Xu family to come to the rescue.
Chu He's description of himself was that the Qi refining cultivator who was about to build the foundation when he entered the Shadow Forest at night to collect materials for the foundation building was also lost when he just followed the cry for help.
In such a situation, staying where they are is indeed the best choice for the two of them.
Regarding the inexplicable man in front of her, although Xu Wanqing still had doubts in her heart, she didn't dare to keep tempting like interrogating a prisoner, so she could only give up for the time being.
"Senior Sister Wanqing, why are you still in the Shadow Forest so late?"
The two sat down on the spot, and Chu He asked this question curiously. This curiosity was not pretended by Chu He, he was indeed very strange how Xu Wanqing could be in a desperate situation.
Xu Wanqing took a deep breath, of course she could understand the other party's curiosity, and was silent for a long time before saying, "I was calculated by a person, a person named Chu He." ”
"Chu He?" Chu He couldn't help but blurt out, but he quickly woke up to his mistake and hurriedly added, "The fourth child of the Chu family?"
Fourth Young Master Chu's reputation in Yunzhou is definitely not small, and it is not surprising that "Xu Zhi" has heard of him.
Xu Wanqing sighed lightly and did not speak.
After a while, Chu He cautiously asked, "Senior Sister Wanqing, if I am not mistaken, then Chu He seems to be right for you...... Quite a bit of admiration?"
"Not bad. Xu Wanqing nodded in response, and then explained the recent matter of the Ye family's brothers and sisters to Chu He and Pan like pouring beans.
When talking about Ye Chen's innate sword body, Xu Wanqing was slightly silent, and finally said: "Don't hide it from Senior Brother, Wanqing was forcibly destroyed by someone when she was young, and she was ......."
Chu He suddenly realized. No wonder Xu Wanqing is extremely talented, but she will be held back by the kendo perception. Maybe the real Fourth Young Master Chu also knew about this, but the scholar had no way of knowing.
In this way, she really needs Ye Chen's help, although she doesn't have to be married to the other party.
"So, how does Chu know that you and Senior Brother Ye Chen are made in heaven, so because of love and hatred, you are assassinating Senior Sister here?" Chu He pretended to speculate and scolded angrily, "There is such a villain in this world, after tonight, he must be made to pay!"
"Senior brother can't!" Xu Wanqing hurriedly spoke, stopping this senior brother with a strong sense of justice, "Speaking of which, Chu He himself didn't show up this time, but when the silver wolf first appeared, he was holding his broken knife in his mouth. ”
This broken knife is naturally fake, because Fourth Young Master Chu's knife is still lying intact in the Sumeru bag, but Chu He can't help but feel a slight sigh in his heart at this moment.
Poor Chu Sishao has pursued Xu Wanqing for more than ten years, but a broken knife can make this woman suspicious...... It can be seen that in Xu Wanqing's heart, the original Chu He has no sense of existence.
Since I have inherited your name, I will help you avenge it by the way......
Unexpectedly learned that someone was calculating himself, Chu He was not only angry, but wanted to praise: Well done!
Broken knife, silver wolf, and the conspiracy in this shadow forest, Chu He has already sorted out his thoughts, and knows who is behind the design of Lu Dao. More importantly, this unexpected situation made his plan more perfect.
"What are you going to do with that junior sister?" Chu He had a plan in his heart, and his tone suddenly became much more relaxed, and he asked casually with a smile.
Xu Wanqing was silent again. She was not a fool, she had been carried away by anger earlier, but now she was a little calmer, and she also sensed that something was faintly wrong.
"Let's talk about it in half a year. After a long time, Xu Wanqing sighed and said, "Chu He and Ye Chen are gambling and fighting, and I am afraid that they will not easily get out of the customs within half a year." ”
Of course, Chu He knew that Xu Wanqing had the intention of investigating in detail, but since he guessed the person behind the scenes, how could he let Xu Wanqing find out the truth?
I'm afraid that after half a year, you will be unable to help yourself...... Chu He smiled secretly in his heart, and was about to speak, but his heart suddenly moved.
"It should be someone from the clan who is here, Senior Sister Wanqing, take the first step for my brother. Sensing that the prohibition left before had been triggered, Chu He immediately stood up and said.
Xu Wanqing was slightly stunned, both surprised that this Senior Brother Xu Zhi could detect the Zhuji Monk, and also surprised that he would rather continue to get lost than be bumped into.
However, with Chu He's careful thinking, he naturally would not have failed to expect this.
"I faked my brother's death and entered the secret door, and I hope that my sister will not mention tonight's incident to anyone. ”
The extremely magnetic voice slowly fell, Chu He's figure had suddenly disappeared, and Xu Wanqing stood in place, her face was extremely calm, and there was no surprise at all.
Sure enough, it's a secret door!
Every sect has a similar shadow organization, this Senior Brother Xu Zhi is very strong, but he has not heard of it before, and it is very likely that he came from the secret sect.
What's more, the materials of Tsukidan can't run, and they can come and collect them during the day, and I'm afraid that only people in the secret door who don't want to see the light will appear in the Phantom Forest in the middle of the night.
Of course, Chu He didn't know what to do, Xu Wanqing was frantically making up for his origin, and spontaneously explained the doubts he left, and he was rushing back to Tianji Peak as fast as he could.
After returning to Tianji Peak, after waiting for half an hour, it was estimated that Xu Wanqing had returned to the Xu family, and tonight's events were also known to some people in the Xu family, so Chu He wrote a letter.
One to the Ye family brothers and sisters, to be precise, a letter to Ye Xin.
In the name of Xu Zhi.
