Chapter 285: Dusty face, sideburns like frost
The morning light is faint, shining on the water at the edge of the grassland, reflecting a faint luster. Nanke stood by the water, looked ahead indifferently, raised his right hand, and there was clear water to send it, and put the medicine into his lips. After the two maids served her with the medicine, they handed her wet hand towels and waited for her to wash her face, and after a while, her spirit recovered a little, and she reached out and waved it lightly in front of her face.
Although there were aquatic plants everywhere, there were not too many mosquitoes and flies in Zhou Yuan, and her actions were not to drive away anything, but to wipe out a black curtain, on that black curtain, there was the outline of Zhou Yuan's general map, and a few flickering light spots, those were life lamps lit by black robes, indicating the direction of the enemy for them.
There are two life lamps in the grassland, when the east and the west, they will go dozens of miles away in a moment, it seems that they are disturbed by some kind of force, and they can't determine the location, that should be the folding sleeves and seven rooms, they are already deep in the grassland, and it stands to reason that there is no possibility of survival, so Nanke is not worried, and his eyes fall more on the other two life lamps.
The two life lamps belonged to Xu Yourong and Chen Changsheng, they were very eye-catching on the black curtain, they were located on the edge of the grassland, far away from the several gardens where human cultivators gathered, and they hadn't moved for a long time, which seemed to indicate that these two people had no ability to escape anymore, and it should be almost time before she completed the task assigned by the black-robed teacher.
The old man who played the piano didn't know when he came here from the top of Muyu Peak, and met with the three of Nanke's master and servant, looking at the life lights on the black curtain, he was not as confident and calm as Nanke, but was a little worried: "Xu Yourong and Chen Changsheng are both seriously injured, there shouldn't be a way to walk back to those gardens, but...... There are also some human cultivators who have been hiding in the mountains and wilderness of Zhou Yuan, and most of those human cultivators are at the peak of the Secret Realm, what if Xu Yourong and Chen Changsheng meet these human cultivators in the process of escaping?"
This conspiracy formulated by the black robe himself makes full use of the special conditions and geographical environment of Zhou Yuan, and sees the greed of human cultivators before the wealth exercise very thoroughly, and the grasp of people's hearts is perfect, so there are only a few demon masters who sneak into Zhou Yuan, which is enough to make the entire Zhou Garden chaotic and turbulent, if it were not for Xu Yourong and Chen Changsheng, maybe Zhou Yuan at this time has already become a real Shura field, the problem is that the current human cultivators have already sensed the conspiracy of the demon race, and most of them have gathered together, if they enter a frontal battle, no matter how strong the strength of the demon masters is, it is impossible to be the opponent of hundreds of human cultivatorsγ
Nanke's expression was still indifferent, and he didn't explain anything, but said: "If Xu Yourong and Chen Changsheng meet other human masters in this situation, they may die earlier." β
......
......
The splash between the reeds and the shore calmed down and then covered with a thin layer of ice.
Chen Changsheng's body was wet, and those water stains quickly condensed into frost, and his eyebrows and temples were stained with snow, like early hair.
Xu Yourong naturally noticed the vision of his body, raised his eyebrows slightly, and gave him a pulse again, and found that this person's true yuan situation was as thin as before, but the injuries on his internal organs were stable, but his heartbeat and breathing were much slower than normal people, but he didn't know if it was a special practice practiced by this person, or a sign of death.
Because of the toxin, her vision was still blurred, and she could only vaguely see this person's eyebrows, which were covered with snow and frost, looking a little old, she was quiet for a while, and suddenly reached out to wipe the snow and frost off his face, and then she was stunned, not understanding why she did this.
Walking into the woods shrouded in the morning light, stepping on the soft fallen leaves, silently, and moving forward for dozens of feet, she stopped again and looked at a cliff in the distance ahead.
In the woods, there is a path that the predecessors stepped on, and although it is covered by fallen leaves, you can still faintly see the traces of the past, stretching forward, and then turning on the side of the cliff to form a zigzag.
She gently put Chen Changsheng in her hand on the fallen leaves, took out the Tong bow, pulled the bowstring to a semicircle, and aimed at that place, but did not speak.
The morning breeze entered the woods with the morning light, the morning light was obscured by the leaves, the forest was very quiet, but the morning breeze was not chopped by the branches, and gently blew the hair beside her face, which occasionally touched the bowstring, but did not make a sound, like the softest fingertips gently pressing the bowstring, and the next moment it was ready to burst into a strong sound.
Leaves were carried down from the branches by the wind, falling slowly in the blurry darkness of the world before her eyes, until they landed at her feet.
The longbow didn't move, her eyelashes didn't blink, her expression was calm and focused, just looking at the cliff, at the empty place.
At the moment when the leaves fell at her feet, an old voice sounded from the cliff: "Friend?"
With this voice, the first thing that appeared outside the cliff was a hand, which was tied with a gray thread between its wrists, and held a wooden plaque in its hand, on which it was painted with vermilion paint, a very complex sect emblem, I don't know what strange the pigment was, and from such a distance, I could feel a clear dryness and heat.
Human cultivators who enter the Zhou Garden will have gray lines, and the sect micro-mark on the wooden card indicates the identity, which is just a simple action, but it represents multiple meanings, and unnecessary misunderstandings can be avoided as much as possible, and it can be seen from this detail that the owner of the old voice is very cautious.
Xu Yourong could only vaguely see the blurry picture, and couldn't see the details clearly, but judging from the calm expression on her face, she definitely couldn't see this, she heard a strong vigilance and vigilance from the person's voice, thinking about the conventions and bloody battles after the opening of Zhou Garden, and then thinking about the bloodstains on her body, it was indeed easy to misunderstand, and said: "Non-enemy." β
When they met for the first time, they were naturally not friends, but they were not rivals, this is the explanation she gave.
After a while, a person walked out from the side of the cliff, the person was full of white hair, his face was old, at least over 100 years old, his expression was very calm and steady, but he did not hide his vigilance, although he walked out, his right hand hanging down his waist was holding a magic weapon, it seemed that he might make a move at any time, and kept a safe distance from Xu Yourong in his opinion.
This distance is very particular, it can make him feel safe, and it can also make the other party feel at ease, not a cultivator who has experienced many years of wind, frost, snow and rain, will never have such a wonderful sense of proportion.
Xu Yourong felt the aura that the other party did not conceal but did not deliberately exude, and confirmed that this old man was a strong man at the peak of the secluded realm, his mood was slightly tight, but the expression on his face relaxed.
She let go of the bowstring, held the longbow and said, "Ask the seniors to respect the name." β
The rules in Zhou Yuan have always been bloody and violent, and now the human cultivators who are not in the three gardens and are still hiding in the mountains and wilderness are often masters, and they have quite thoughts about the treasures and inheritances in Zhou Yuan.
So she continued calmly and directly: "The demon clan has infiltrated Zhou Yuan, and we were injured by the demon clan's sneak attack. β
This is still an explanation, but some meanings have been added to the explanation without a trace, the demon who can infiltrate Zhou Yuan must be powerful, but it takes a sneak attack to hurt her, so she must also be powerful.
I don't know if the old man has drawn the conclusion she wanted him to draw from her seemingly casual explanation, because it is obvious that this old man, as she had guessed before, has been hiding in the rare mountains and wilderness since he entered the Zhou Garden, deliberately avoiding contact with other cultivators, so that he did not know the news of the demon clan's entry into the Zhou Garden at this time, and he was very surprised when he heard her words at this time.
"How can the demons enter the Zhou Garden?"
The old man was shocked, but he was not afraid, he looked at the gray thread on his wrist, and said with a sneer: "No wonder there are so many weirdness. β
Obviously, he had completed his treasure hunt in Zhou Yuan and found what he needed, so he tried to light the gray thread to lead him away, but failed.
Xu Yourong didn't explain, because the conspiracy of the demon clan was too complicated and unnecessary.
The old man looked at Chen Changsheng on the fallen leaves behind her, looked at the frost on his body, was slightly surprised, and asked, "This person is your companion?"
Xu Yourong shook his head and said, "I don't know him, I just saw that he was attacked by a demon powerhouse, and he happened to be saved." β
"Don't forget to save people at that moment, you little girl doll is good. β
The old man looked at her with a look of appreciation, and then said, "But where are you going?"
Xu Yourong said: "The human cultivators are now gathering in the three gardens, I was going to take this fellow Daoist over, but because of the injury, the speed is not fast, it will take at least half a day, I am worried about being caught up by the demons, I don't want to meet the seniors, I want to trouble the seniors to inform other fellow Daoists, come and pick us up." β
The old man showed a look of disapproval, and said, "I will send you over, how can I let you stay here and take risks." β
Xu Yourong said: "The demon master who infiltrated Zhou Yuan is very strong, and the seniors want to take care of the two of us, but I am afraid of ......"
Words are inexhaustible, but they are well-intentioned.
The old man laughed and said, "If you are outside the Zhou Garden, maybe you have to be careful, this is in the Zhou Garden, I think I will meet the demon powerhouses you mentioned." β
His smile was very free, his expression was calm and calm, his eyes were gentle and bright, and he looked extremely confident when he said this.
A powerhouse at the peak of the Secret Realm should be invincible in Zhou Yuan, and the old man's self-confidence has its own reason.
For some reason, Xu Yourong didn't tell the other party, the demon powerhouse who infiltrated Zhou Yuan was more terrifying than the ordinary peak of the Secret Realm, not to mention that there was a terrifying existence like Nanke.
She showed curiosity and admiration, and asked, "May I ask who you are, senior?"
The old man said: "My surname is Bai Minghai, I have practiced in the Falling Sun Sect for more than 200 years, and I rarely travel outside the sect, so you don't know if you want to come. β
Xu Yourong was slightly stunned, and seemed to be a little at a loss for this name.
Actually, she felt a little cold.
