Volume 1: The Boy Shows His Edge Chapter 55: Your Name
The flowing air in the forest stood still for a moment, because of the incomprehension and silence of Yue Jiu.
Facing Yue Jiu's bleak gaze, Mu Qing continued to ask with a tense face, "What's your name?"
The poison on his body was getting deeper and deeper, obviously sealing all the tricks on the left side of his body, but the torrent of alternating cold and heat still ignored those small passes and rushed towards Yue Jiu's whole body.
The blood gushed up from his throat, and his lips were closed again.
Yue Jiu raised her chin, squinted her eyes, and responded to Mu Qing with silent coldness.
Yuejiu had heard that some perverted people would always have some quirks before killing others, and they would engrave their names on their bodies after asking for their names, which would be convenient for collecting corpses.
But Yuejiu had already reported his name before, what is this not humiliation?
In the silent forest, many complex emotions are intertwined in the air.
Mu Qing's gaze kept rotating on the envelope and Yue Jiu's face, and his sword eyebrows frowned.
No wonder he felt déjà vu with the name "Yuejiu" before, it turned out that the letter handed over to him by Senior Sister Ning Chu had this name.
Mu Qing paid attention to Yue Jiu's movements while focusing most of his gaze on the envelope. The envelope, which was about an inch thick, was made of tough tung oil paper, but it had already been cut a three-inch long opening by Yue Jiu's sword.
In hindsight, if this letter hadn't been put on Mu Qing's chest, I'm afraid Mu wouldn't have only had the wound on his abdomen.
When Mu Qing just picked up the letter, the words at the beginning with the address of a certain place in Jinguancheng were scratched by the tip of the sword and were no longer legible, but the four words "Yuejiu Qinqi" happened to be intact and fell into view word for word, which has to be said to be a wonderful coincidence.
"Poof-" The silent silence was really a long time, and Yue Jiu couldn't hold it back after all, and spat out the poisonous blood gushing out of his throat.
Yue Jiu's eyes were dim, he really didn't expect that his first shot in a few years, and before he had time to be happy for too long, he would end up with a bleak ending of poisoning and death.
His gaze fell from Mu Qing's puzzled face to the letter, probably understanding that this letter fell from the other party, and there was a cut cut by his own sword on it, but at this time, if he didn't kill himself with a sword, what did he want to do?
Mu Qing squatted down in front of Yue Jiu, very close, and between the starry eyes, his scrutinizing gaze fell on Yue Jiu's somewhat raunchy face with a scribbled beard, and found that the other party's face was darker blue, and couldn't help but ponder Chi Chi and asked, "Your name is Yue Jiu?"
Mu Qing's questioning was a bit hidden, and he didn't want to let go of Yue Jiu, who had just fought with him fiercely, because of some uncertain possibilities, so he wouldn't say something that would make Yue Jiu directly go up the pole and be afraid.
Yue Jiu's brows furrowed, and he nodded his chin slightly. His dim eyes regained a little bit of agility, and he landed on the letter in Mu Qing's hand, and asked with a faint breath, "Because this letter is related to my name?"
Mu Qing didn't deny it, and said in a cold tone: "There will be many coincidences in this world, and there are many people with the same name, it depends on what kind of coincidence." ”
Having already given up accepting death, now that he has found a glimmer of life, Yue Jiu's brain was slightly sluggish with a cold tingle, as if it was filled with countless sword lights, but at this time, his mind became more agile than ever.
"The letter, the letter related to myself, could it be written to me?" Thinking about these in his mind, if he could seize that opportunity, how could Yue Jiu be willing to face death.
He remembered that he had asked Mu Qing before if he was from the First Line of Medicine Masters, and suddenly raised his head and asked, "Are you related to the First Line of Medicine Masters?"
"Whew-" Mu Qing let out a sigh of regret, thinking that he might not be able to kill this person.
Immediately, he shot like the wind, connecting the dots at the position of the Dantian Qi Mansion in Yuejiu, so that the other party completely lost the possibility of qi.
After all this was done, Mu Qing pressed his palm against the wound on his shoulder blade under Yue Jiu's suspicious and vigilant gaze.
As the ten thousand poisonous true qi in the body became more and more free, but in half an hour, the ten thousand poisonous true qi that was raging in Yue Jiu's body returned to the master's body, and the dark blue on Yue Jiu's face gradually faded, and there was a little more ruddy.
The toxins in his body were like ice and snow meeting boiling oil, disappearing completely in a short and silent time, although Yue Jiu had been silently accepting all of Mu Qing's actions, but when he faced the result of this peak turn, he still couldn't help but widen his eyes in surprise.
He thought of the name he had mentioned, and for a moment he left life and death behind him, and only wanted to know the specific content of the letter.
Mu Qing stood up, lowered his head to meet Yue Jiu's surprised gaze, and asked in an extremely serious tone, "How did Senior Sister Ning Chu and you meet? What do you have to do with it? Don't think you can fool me by making it up." ”
A trace of embarrassment fell on Yue Jiu's face, he could feel Mu Qing's suppressed killing intent towards himself, if he didn't say it, this kid was afraid that he would no longer kill himself, right?
If it were Yuejiu himself, I am afraid that he would not let go of the strong opponent who was still fighting to the death just now.
"I am an Assassin in the Hidden Valley, and I met her during an assassination mission. ”
A thin and ethereal voice sounded in the deep and quiet forest, and Yue Jiu, who was caught in the memory, told him and Ning Chu's past very carefully, Mu Qing heard it sometimes with a fierce light in his eyes, sometimes with a slight frown on his sword eyebrows, and helplessly and depressedly confirmed that this person was indeed the Yue Jiu who was going to send the letter to Senior Sister.
Mu Qing listened carefully to these common pasts that should have belonged to Senior Sister and Yue Jiu, and remembered Ning Chu's advice to him to be careful when they were separated in Stone City.
I can't help but feel that there is always a trace of absurdity in the world.
That encounter seems to have some similarities with today's time, both of them are one to kill and the other to be saved, and they are faintly involved in the assassin and pharmacist of the Hidden Valley.
Could it be that in these seemingly ordinary assassinations, there is a pair of black hands hidden behind the scenes, deliberately sowing discord?
Mu Qing tried hard to discern the hidden information, although he had been listening to Yue Jiu whispering about the past, he had already put his thoughts away.
"Alright. Mu Qing interrupted Yue Jiu, stared at him and said seriously: "Your injuries are actually not serious, and the poison in your body is also removed. ”
Yue Jiu nodded and stood up quietly, he watched Mu Qing turn around and want to leave, and quickly asked, "What do you have to do with Wanhua Valley?"
Although "Valley of Ten Thousand Flowers" and "Medicine Master's First Line" refer to the same place, Yuejiu's words obviously have a deeper meaning of inquiry.
Mu Qing's movement of turning around and retreating stopped, he and Yue Jiu stood very close together, and they were slightly taller than Yue Jiu by one inch in comparison.
Mu Qing glanced down, his gaze fell on Yue Jiu's sword-holding hand, although he was extremely sure that he had sealed the other party's True Qi Sword Yuan, he still asked vigilantly, "What do you want to do?"
Yue Jiu felt the swelling pain and blockage in the tendons, and said powerlessly to himself: "If your skills are not as good as people, you will die unjustly, and I won't be so ignorant of life and death now." ”
Mu Qing raised his chin lightly and said calmly: "It's good that you know." You should know that without this letter that fell to the ground, you would have died long ago. ”
Mu Qing raised the letter in his hand and shook it in front of Yue Jiu, and then put it into his sleeve in Yue Jiu's silence mixed with a silk pleading look.
After Yue Jiu's gaze left the envelope, he swept over Mu Qing's torn front coat, and said apologetically: "I'm sorry, I didn't know about your relationship with Ning Chu and their sect. Just ......"
"Do you want me to give you this letter?" Mu Qing directly interrupted Yue Jiu, shook his head and said, "I will send a letter to Jinguan City according to Senior Sister Ning Chu's instructions......"
Mu Qing's words stopped abruptly, and the address of the tattered envelope was blurred on the tattered envelope screen in his mind, and he pretended to ask calmly, "By the way, where do you live?"
Yuejiu smiled helplessly: "Yuejiu Thatched Cottage by the Huanhua Creek in Jinguan City." ”
Mu Qing nodded and said, "Well, then we'll see you then." ”
"Wait. The voices in the forest overlapped, and everyone looked surprised.
Mu Qing was shocked when he heard the overlapping but different timbre sounds, because it was obviously the voice of two people.
He looked at Yue Jiu in front of him who was looking at him in surprise and behind him, his heart was bright, and between the forces under his feet, he had already flown back to Liu Weirui's direction.
Not far behind the place where Mu Qing had just stood, there was a huge tree covered with shade. That hoarse and cold voice came from under the tree.
At this moment, a shadow under the tree suddenly made a sound, and a figure grew as if it were blooming and bearing fruit.
Butcher Hu looked approvingly at Mu Qing, who flew back, and slowly walked out of the shadows.
Yue Jiu was now powerless and couldn't respond effectively at all, he looked at the Hu butcher who was gradually walking towards him, and asked expressionlessly, "Who is the senior?"
Butcher Hu didn't look at Yue Jiu, who was very close to him, his eyes kept falling on Mu Qing, and asked in a rough and hoarse voice, "Why don't you kill him?"
Mu Qing's sword eyebrows flew to both sides, and his mood was not calm. If it weren't for Butcher Hu speaking out himself, Mu Qing probably wouldn't have found out about the other party until now.
And after the figure of Hu Butcher walked into the faint light of the sky, through the light of the alternating light and dark, Mu Qing immediately recognized who this person with strong concealment ability was.
"We've seen it at the Dangguan Inn. Mu Qing's heartstrings tightened, but his tone remained calm, and while he secretly accumulated his strength, he asked, "I'm afraid that my predecessors didn't come to be a guest today, right?"
Butcher Hu's face has long been weathered, and after being polished by past tragedies to the point that it has no edges and corners, it looks even more ordinary and ordinary. In the alternating light and dark skylight, Mu Qing did not find even a trace of emotion exposed from the other party's face.
Butcher Hu calmly accepted Mu Qing's scrutiny and questioning with his hands on his chest, shook his head slightly, and laughed softly: "It was just now, but now it's not." ”
If Mu Qing had killed Yue Jiu directly, he would have turned into a real shadow and left this place, but many things in this world would eventually exceed expectations, so Hu Butcher stood up before Mu Qing left.
He could easily decide the life and death of everyone present, at least that's what Butcher Hu himself thought.
Hiding in the shadows and listening for a long time, Butcher Hu had a little more plans, so he didn't make a move immediately, but asked calmly, "What is your relationship with the Medicine Master?"
Mu Qing and Yue Jiu remained silent at the same time, they looked at the Hu Butcher who walked to the middle of the two of them, and their probing and cautious eyes never left the Hu Butcher's body.
Feeling the silence in the forest, Butcher Hu sneered lightly and said, "Whoever is closer to the medicine master can not die." ”
Mu Qing didn't believe anything the voyeur said at all, and with a slight movement of his footsteps, he was getting closer and closer to Liu Weirui and them.
Butcher Hu's eyes swept over Liu Weirui's stunning face at a certain moment, and he knew in his heart that this woman was probably the granddaughter of the Xishan Lin family.
So he didn't pay attention to Mu Qing's small movements for the time being, but walked in front of Yue Jiu step by step, and his body, which was obviously half a head shorter than Yue Jiu, suddenly burst out with a strong aura of bloody oppression.
Yue Jiu had a True Qi Sword Yuan at this time, but because the Dantian Qi Mansion was blocked, his originally straight body had to bend under this powerful oppression.
"You are a product!" A trace of blood overflowed from the corners of his mouth, feeling the breath that made his flesh and blood tremble, Yue Jiuxu, who was already a second grade, squinted his eyes and said the strength of Hu Butcher but did not take a step back.
As the bloody killing aura released by Butcher Hu became more and more intense, the wound on Yue Jiu's shoulder blade also began to spurt blood, but he still refused to say his relationship with the medicine master.
confessed to Mu Qing before, it was entirely because Yue Jiu's mind was all on that letter.
Today, he has his own pride.
