Chapter 45: I Won't Let You Happen
In the winter of leaving the country, the night came very early, Mu Xize and his party came out of the farmhouse, and it was already dark. Originally, it was a wilderness, the site was wide, and it was not easy to find people, but now it was pitch black, let alone people, and not even any living creatures other than them could be found.
Fortunately, when they went out before, the guys from the Chamber of Commerce brought a few torches, which provided some convenience for this search. However, there was no sign of people in this vast area of barren mountains and clearings, and no matter how bright the torches were, it would not help.
"Are we wrong, Danyang is not here at all?" Qin Xiao's eyes were already slightly red, and his voice was trembling.
"No, look for it, you should be able to find rut marks or horseshoe prints, they won't walk to such a secluded place. Mu Xize's voice was much weaker than before, his strength didn't seem to be very strong, and his face was even paler.
"How are you, can you still hold on?" Qin Xiao asked with concern when he noticed Mu Xize's strange appearance.
Mu Xize shook his head and said, "I'm fine, let's step up the search for someone." ”
"Found rut marks here!" shouted one of the fellows.
So the group followed the rut mark until they reached an unknown hill, where the rut mark was gone. But there was not even half a figure on this hill, and the grass that had grown on it had completely withered and yellowed.
"There is no Danyang, and there is no here!" Qin Xiao said almost collapsed.
"No, there's her breath here, but I can't be sure where she's yet. Mu Xize stared ahead, as if he had already determined that Danyang was here.
Then he clasped his hands and stood straight on the hill, as if trying his best to feel where Danyang was. Qin Xiao didn't dare to disturb Mu Xize when he looked at him, he just stood quietly beside him, and even his breathing deliberately became very light.
Suddenly, Mu Xize's eyes widened, with a hint of excitement in his expression, "Follow me." ”
So, Qin Xiao and those guys followed closely behind Mu Xize, and finally stopped by a small mound.
"Is this here?" Qin Xiao was very suspicious in his heart, because this was obviously a cemetery.
Mu Xize's eyes were firm, "Dig it up." ”
Then the men dug open the mound as fast as they could, and found that under the mound was a brand-new Nanmu coffin that seemed to have been buried in the ground for a short time.
Seeing this coffin, Qin Xiao had just let go of some of his heart, and at this moment he pulled it up again. If Danyang was really sealed inside, would she still be alive? So Qin Xiao impatiently brandished his long sword and slashed the coffin lid with all his might. Finally, after the fifth sword, the coffin lid was cut in two by Qin Xiao.
There was indeed a person lying in the coffin, Qin Xiao removed the upper half of the coffin lid and threw it away, and saw the face of the person lying in the coffin, that person was really Danyang, I saw that Danyang's face was blue at this time, and his lips turned dark purple, lying quietly in the coffin as if he was dead.
Qin Xiao couldn't accept the scene in front of him, so he picked up Danyang and hugged her tightly in his arms, the tears in his eyes were already soaked in the corners of his clothes.
"Danyang, I'm Qin Xiao, I'm here to save you, wake up, wake up!" Qin Xiao called out to Danyang while shaking Danyang's body, and finally kissed Danyang's lips, trying to make Danyang wake up by tempering his anger.
"You said you were going to defeat me, and you also said that you were going to go to the martial arts conference with me, you can't have anything, you can't have anything to do, you can't have anything to do if you hear it!" Qin Xiao cried even more, and the words he said were even more sad, and even the unrelated chamber of commerce guys couldn't help but wet their eyes when they saw such a scene.
Mu Xize's face turned even paler, although he didn't shed tears, his whole body was trembling, as if he couldn't accept the ending in front of him.
Suddenly, Danyang's fingers, which were already like dead people, suddenly moved, and then coughed lightly and slowly opened his eyes.
Qin Xiao didn't know what to say when he saw Danyang wake up, as if his most precious thing had finally returned to him, he just kept repeating Danyang's name in his mouth, and then hugged her tightly in his arms, as if he was afraid that Danyang would disappear as soon as he let go.
Knowing that Danyang had woken up, Mu Xize, who was also anxious, sighed slowly.
Danyang took a few breaths, relieved himself, and knew that he was now in Qin Xiao's arms, and the tears in his eyes couldn't hold back anymore, and they flowed down the ground.
"Qin Xiao, why are you here!" Danyang cried while beating Qin Xiao's chest.
If Qin Xiao came a little later, she would probably really die in this coffin, and she was happy because Qin Xiao saved herself in time, and she was afraid because she was locked in the coffin for a long time, and after beating Qin Xiao a few times, Danyang hugged Qin Xiao's body tightly and cried non-stop.
"Now that Sister Danyang has been found, let's go back quickly, and then ask the imperial doctor to recuperate for Danyang. Mu Xize said with a smile on his face.
Danyang let go of the body that was holding Qin Xiao tightly, and turned his head to look at Mu Xize, his eyes were sad and lonely, and he seemed to reveal an indescribable look.
"Brother Xi Ze, Ye, Ye Ningxiang seems to have had an accident. Danyang plucked up a lot of courage to say this, and the tears still flowed uncontrollably. She knew how much Mu Xize cared about Ye Ningxiang in her heart, if Mu Xize knew that Ye Ningxiang had also had an accident, or had been murdered by King Duan, how could he bear it.
When Mu Xize heard Ye Ningxiang's three words, his originally smiling face was a little hideous at the moment, and his eyes were wide open and faintly revealing a chill. He squatted down, grabbed Danyang's shirt tightly, and his voice trembled, "What did you say?"
Mu Xize's expression at this time made Danyang a little scared, so Danyang's answer revealed horror and uneasiness, and his tone was lowered a lot, "Ye Ningxiang followed Duanwang, was arrested in defeat, and was locked up in the same place with me, Duanwang originally wanted to kill the two of us with Gu worms, but the Gu worms didn't work for me, so he knocked me out and buried me alive here." ”
Mu Xize grabbed Danyang's hands harder, the cold in his eyes was even worse, and his voice was more gloomy, "What about her, where is she?"
Danyang didn't know how Brother Xize, who had always been gentle and understanding on weekdays, suddenly became like a devil at this moment, and people didn't dare to get close. "I don't know, I don't know. Danyang leaned back and turned his head to the side, as if he wanted to avoid Mu Xize's hideous face as much as possible.
"Mu Xize, you're enough!" Qin Xiao scolded Mu Xize loudly.
Being scolded by Qin Xiao, Mu Xize seemed to be much calmer, let go of the hands that grabbed Danyang, and sat on the ground a little weakly, revealing endless sadness in his words, "She'll be fine, I'll save her." ”
With that, he quickly got up and walked aimlessly down the mountain.
"I'll help you. Qin Xiao stood up, ready to work with Mu Xize to find Ye Ningxiang's whereabouts.
"No need, Danyang still needs you to take care of it, just go with me. Mu Xize's tone was calm, not as aggressive as before, but he felt as if something was missing, and it sounded very distressing.
At this time, a person suddenly appeared in front of Mu Xize, and this person turned out to be Ji Beiyuan. No one other than their group had been found in this large barren clearing. And this season, Beiyuan actually stood in front of Mu Xize as if he jumped out of thin air.
"It's time for you to go home. Ji Beiyuan's voice was cold, but his attitude was very resolute, as if he appeared at this time to bring Mu Xize back to the palace.
"Xiao Yezi has an accident, I'm going to save her. Mu Xize's voice seemed to have a hint of pleading, as if he hoped that Ji Beiyuan would not stop him.
"With your current body, you can't get people back. Ji Beiyuan's tone was more firm than before, but his eyes showed reluctance and sympathy.
Mu Xize stepped forward and gently stroked Ji Beiyuan's shoulder, his eyes glistening with tears, "Didn't you say that you are living to save the world, now there is a girl whose life and death are unknown, only I can find her, should you let me go first." ”
Hearing the people of the world, Ji Beiyuan's heart trembled, yes, the person Mu Xize wants to save is also a member of the world, although this may touch the seal on Mu Xize and bring irreparable consequences. But if he forcibly casts a spell on Mu Xize now, then I'm afraid there is really no possibility of saving that girl.
Mu Xize shook Ji Beiyuan's shoulders slightly, and continued: "Beiyuan National Teacher, you let me go this time, and when I rescue Xiao Yezi, I will go to the National Teacher's Mansion and let you dispose of it." ”
Ji Beiyuan sighed and said, "You go, be careful yourself." ”
Because he was not restricted by Ji Beiyuan's technique, and Mu Xize's inner turmoil, Mu Xize only felt that there was a powerful force crashing in his body, and his sense of smell and hearing was also more acute.
Mu Xize forced himself to calm down and feel Ye Ningxiang's position, but there was no half of her breath here.
Not here, Ye Ningxiang is not here. Mu Xize ran wildly in the wilderness like crazy, ignoring the gravel and dead grass under his feet, he tripped over it several times, and then regardless of the pain, he immediately got up and continued to run forward.
Mu Xize has only one thought in his heart, he must save Ye Ningxiang, he missed it once seven years ago, and he will never miss it a second time after seven years, but this world is so vast, where is Ye Ningxiang?
It was only then that he felt for the first time how incompetent he was, and for the first time he regretted that his power had been sealed. If the demonic power in his body was completely released, even in such a large area as the entire country, he would be able to find Ye Ningxiang quickly, but now he couldn't feel anything, couldn't feel her breath, couldn't feel her taste, couldn't feel her voice.
No, you can't go on a rampage like this, and suddenly a voice in her heart was telling Mu Xize to be calm and not to mess up. Danyang said that it was King Duan who kidnapped Ye Ningxiang, and also mentioned the Gu worm, and the Gu worm also sucked the girl's essence, so as long as you find out the most abundant place for the girl's essence, you can find Ye Ningxiang's whereabouts.
If ordinary people can't feel the existence of this essence at all, but Mu Xize has the blood of the nine-tailed fox on his body after all. The nine-tailed fox is murderous by nature and likes the essence element, so it is not very difficult for Mu Xize to feel the location of this essence element.
With a clear direction, Mu Xize panicked and calmed down a little, but he still didn't stop running. The fellow was exhausted and couldn't keep up with Mu Xize's pace, panting and said, "Mr. Mu, slow down, we can't keep up with you!"
Mu Xize didn't respond, and still quickened his pace and ran towards his destination.
At this time, Ye Ningxiang was almost unconscious because the Gu worm wantonly sucked her essence in her body, and her hanging arms were also unconscious because of the long-term fixation, and there was only one thought in her heart, death.
When will we die? When will this kind of suffering come to an end? I am afraid that there will really be no chance for revenge. In the haze, Ye Ningxiang seemed to hear the call of her father, mother and Xiao Wu, and her originally vague consciousness gradually became sober.
Thinking of this, Ye Ningxiang's heart calmed down, and the pain seemed to be reduced a lot, with a weak smile on her face, she raised her head hard, hoping that her relatives would be able to take her away.
But the moment she looked up, what she saw was not her father, not her mother, not Xiao Wu, but a person in a white robe but covered in mud and with messy hair.
Who would appear in front of him at this time, Ye Ningxiang blinked her eyes vigorously, gathering her spirit to try to see the person's appearance clearly. It's Mu Xize, it's him!
Ye Ningxiang, who was already a little delirious, suddenly sobered up at this moment, and the first thing she said to Mu Xize was, "Don't come here, this is a trap." ”
Unexpectedly, Mu Xize actually sped up his pace and came to Ye Ningxiang's side, there seemed to be tears in the corners of his eyes, but there was a smile on the corner of his mouth, and his face was full of joy that he had lost and regained.
"Xiao Yezi, this time I finally have time to save you, don't be afraid, I won't let you have anything. Mu Xize said as he raised his feet and walked onto the round platform at Ye Ningxiang's feet.
Just as Mu Xize stepped onto the round platform, the originally very calm secret room made a rumbling sound at this moment, followed by violent shaking and incessant explosions.
Mu Xize firmly protected Ye Ningxiang under his body, protecting her from the attack of the flying stone. Unexpectedly, the round platform that was still sitting on the ground suddenly cracked a big crack from the middle at this moment, and the gap became bigger and bigger, and finally Mu Xize and Ye Ningxiang fell into the crack together.
