Tang Cong, who had his hands and tendons cut off, completely lost the ability to escape, and the acupoints in his body were sealed by Jian Zhong, so it was even more difficult to move a bit, so he could only watch the bonfire disappear, feeling anxious in his heart, but helpless.

The last rays of spark were swept away by the cold wind, and the Tara Hall of Tianrong Temple gradually turned into an "ice cellar". The cold wind swept the frost and snow dew, whistling along the wide open doors and windows, and after a while, it covered Tang Cong's body with a thick layer of frost and snow.

In this way, Tang Cong, who couldn't move and couldn't stop bleeding, survived the night alone in the remote and cold Tianrong Temple.

This night was the most painful, tormenting, and worse than death night in Tang Cong's life.

He watched his own blood gurgle down his wounds, first melting the snow on the ground, and then freezing it soon after, but he was helpless and sighed.

The most terrifying thing is that his consciousness is always awake. In other words, Tang Cong has been silently enduring the passage of vitality from his body bit by bit, until he is still breathing and dying, and he still feels it clearly and truly.

At noon the next day, Tang Cong was already crumbling and precarious, with only one breath left.

At this moment, the wind and snow outside have stopped, and the sun is blooming.

It's a pity that no matter how warm the sun is, it can't save Tang Cong, whose life is hanging by a thread.

At this time, his face is like white ash, his lips are like dead ashes, the whites of his eyes are cloudy, his pupils are dilated, he can't find the slightest popularity all over his body, and he has a pool of brown and red, which has long been condensed with ice and snow, like a dry field cracked into a piece, a piece, the scene is tragic, the situation is so bleak, it makes people's hearts twist like a knife, and they can't bear to look at it directly.

Tang Cong froze motionlessly beside the fire that had long been extinguished, his eyes were foggy, his breath was like a gossamer, the last ray of light in his pupils gradually dissipated, but his eyes desperately opened a gap, looking at the bright sun outside the door without blinking, as if he was longing, and as if he was unwilling.

Finally, a sound of Suosuo's footsteps came from far to near, and he sneaked into the Tianrong Temple with care and agility.

Hearing this, Tang Cong's godless eyes suddenly burst out with an indescribable light.

Immediately afterwards, Liu Xunyi, who was in an embarrassed body, jumped into the Tara Palace. At this moment, he is like a deserter crawling out of the pile of dead, unkempt, ragged, bloodstained, and sloppy.

"Tang Cong, Brother Ren......"

As soon as he entered the main hall, Liu Xunyi subconsciously opened his mouth to say hello, but before he finished speaking, he suddenly saw Tang Cong, who was half dead under the offering table, and was shocked, and swept to the front with an arrow, looking at Tang Cong who was dying with horror, and shouted: "You ...... You're ......."

Looking at Tang Cong who was dying, the surprise in Liu Xunyi's heart quickly turned into sorrow, he knelt beside Tang Cong, his brain was blank, and he didn't know how to ask for a while.

"Master of the Gate......

Seeing Liu Xunyi, Tang Cong seemed to be much more energetic, he twitched the corners of his mouth slightly, and let out an inaudible call in his throat.

"Tang Cong, what's wrong with you? Where is Brother Ren? Don't you ......?"

"Doorman Hurry Up......

Without waiting for Liu Xunyi to help, Tang Cong's face suddenly turned hideous, and he desperately let out a roar in his mouth.

"Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh!"

Before the words fell, there were suddenly several sharp sounds of breaking the air behind Liu Xunyi. It was too late, it was too fast, Liu Xunyi supported the ground with his left hand, and his figure suddenly rose from the ground, and at the same time, he pulled out the Tibetan knife with his right hand and swept it behind him without thinking.

"Sonorous!"

With a few crisp sounds, several sharp arrows were all knocked to the ground by Liu Xunyi. Immediately afterwards, four lamas jumped down from the temple beam, they held the demon pestle, and as soon as they landed, they rushed towards Liu Xunyi, and they made a killing move, without the slightest reservation.

In a hurry, Liu Xunyi didn't have time to figure out the situation, so he could only shout angrily and wave his knife to face the battle.

During the fierce battle, Liu Xunyi found that these four lamas were different from other Tibetan guards. They are strong in martial arts, and their every move is quite threatening. But even so, they are still not the enemies of Liu Xunyi who let go.

In just thirty rounds, Liu Xunyi has mercilessly killed two people and seriously injured one. Seeing that the situation was not good, the last person made a false move, flew back, and escaped from the Tianrong Temple in a panic.

Liu Xunyi thought that Tang Cong was safe, and he didn't insist on chasing and killing, but instead put the tip of the knife on the chest of the seriously injured lama, and asked, "Who sent you?"

In the face of Liu Xunyi's questioning, the lama had a ruthless look in his eyes, snorted coldly, and then bit his tongue and committed suicide, killing him instantly.

This move surprised Liu Xunyi, in the past three days, he has died in the world, and he has seen many warriors chasing and killing him, but it is the first time he has encountered such a decisive and ruthless lama.

didn't have time to think about it, Liu Xunyi hurriedly returned to Tang Cong's side. He gradually stabilized his mind, and suddenly found that Tang Cong's posture was strange, and he suddenly understood everything in his heart, and quickly took action to unlock the acupoints for him.

In an instant, Tang Cong was like a deflated ball, and his body quickly shrunk into a ball, wilting and inhuman.

"Tang Cong, who made you like this? Brother Ren, he ......"

"Door Master!"

Before the words fell, Tang Cong, who was dying, suddenly perked up, grabbed Liu Xunyi's arm like a return to the light, and said tremblingly: "My time is running out, you hear me first......!

"You ......"

"The Jian Zhong we saw in the Jade Dragon Palace is a fake, and Bo Ren from Luo Qi City is the real Jian Zhong. The Buddha lotus seed is the reincarnated spirit child, the living Buddha in the world, that is, the little monk who was taken away by us from the secret room of the Potala Palace......" Tang Cong's speech was extremely fast, his bloodless face, a pair of muddy little eyes were terrifying, and his voice trembled so much that he could hardly speak.

At this moment, not only his lips were trembling, but his whole face and even his entire body were shaking violently like a sieve, and his appearance was extremely weird, even a little terrifying.

"What?"

Liu Xunyi was caught off guard by the shocking news, he was not only worried about Tang Cong's injury, but also surprised by every word Tang Cong said, and his heart was numb for a while, and he couldn't help himself.

"Don't say anything, I'll take you out first......"

"No!"

Tang Cong was resolute, and shook his head desperately: "Door master, it's too late...... I've been afraid I won't be able to wait for you......"

"Tang Cong!"

Liu Xunyi endured the sourness in his heart, stared at a pair of red eyes, and tried not to let his tears come out. At this moment, his expression was extremely complicated, angry, sad, desperate, and shocked...... I have mixed feelings, and I don't know what it tastes like.

"The ...... of the Doorman"

Tang Cong slowly stretched out his blood-stained right hand, Liu Xunyi quickly held it in his hand, and at the same time, a teardrop rolled down without a fight.

"Door Master, we have robbed the reincarnated spirit child...... Not only will the Eight Kings of Tibet not let us go, but Tantric Buddhism will not let us go either......" Tang Cong's spirit began to languish, his eyes became more and more hollow, and he said weakly, "The lama who ambushed you just now...... It's the master of tantra......"

"I feel it. Liu Xunyi nodded again and again, "It stands to reason that I have returned the key to the secret room to them, and they should no longer chase and kill, but in the past few days, I have been hindered everywhere, whether it is the officials, soldiers, or ordinary people, or the old and weak, women and children, it seems that the whole of Tibet is making enemies against me, and regards me as an enemy who does not share the sky." ”

"Exactly! Exactly......" Tang Cong almost didn't fall up in one breath, and replied intermittently, "They don't hate us for stealing the key, but for hating us for robbing the living Buddha...... Door master, we were all deceived by Jian Zhong and used by him...... Now, Jian Zhong fled north with the Buddha lotus seed, making you and me the target of everyone, and preventing disasters for him...... We're really capsizing in the gutter this time, playing eagle ...... But he accidentally let the eagle peck his eyes......"

As for this, the corners of Tang Cong's mouth barely flashed a wry smile. He wants to keep the banter of the past, but a shallow smile is as difficult as the sky for him now, and it is extremely difficult to find.

"It's okay! It's okay!" Liu Xunyi's tears fell silently, but he still forced a smile, "It's man-made, we will definitely be able to avenge this revenge." I'll take you back to the Central Plains first, and we'll go home!"

"Door master, their reinforcements will arrive soon, you can go......" Tang Cong urged weakly, "I can't do it, I can't affect you......"

"Bastard!" Liu Xunyi said angrily, "I brought you into Tibet, so I must take you out alive." You and I are brothers, we want to live together, we want to die together!"

"No!" Tang Cong laughed miserably, "You must go back alive...... If we all die here, Jian Zhong will definitely arrange it wantonly and slander it out of thin air when he goes back...... We have fought with our lives, and we can no longer bear the stigma of being a coward and a fool......"

"Jian Zhong, if I don't kill you, I swear not to be a man!"

Liu Xunyi slammed his fist on the ground, and his voice was full of monstrous anger.

"Door Master, I'm ......"

Seeing Tang Cong's body trembling violently, Liu Xunyi hurriedly hugged him into his arms and used his body to warm him.

"Tang Cong, I'll take you away! Let's go......" Liu Xunyi trembled and choked up.

"Door master, I'm going to die......" Tang Cong snuggled weakly in Liu Xunyi's arms, his eyes were misty and erratic, and he kept muttering, "There is something...... I want to ask the master to tell me the truth, so that I can die blindly......"

"No matter what, I'll tell you the truth!"

"You...... Who the hell is it?" Tang Cong's mouth opened and closed, and it took a while for a while to spit out a few words with difficulty, "Once, I went to your room to look for you...... You're not there...... But then Brother Xu went to look for you again, and you appeared...... They all say I'm a liar, but in fact...... I'm not lying, the first time you're really not there...... You explained that you didn't hear it when you were sleeping, but I went into your room and there was no one in there at all......"

Looking at Tang Cong, whose vitality was fading, Liu Xunyi was embarrassed and burst into tears. He clearly remembered that when he went out of the city overnight to meet Qin Wei secretly, when he came back, he was just in time for the Yingchuan Pan family to send someone to send bad news, and the lord of the mansion asked everyone to go to the middle hall to discuss matters, and Liu Xunyi was one step too late and was almost exposed.

"Another ......time," Tang Cong said again, "at the Ruyi Inn in Huazhou...... The guy who washed your feet...... In fact, it's not the inn's little two...... You were plotting something big in your room, and I accidentally broke it...... That's why I deliberately acted...... Isn't it?"

When a man is about to die, his words are good.

Facing Tang Cong, who was about to breathe, Liu Xunyi really couldn't bear to lie and deceive him, so he could only nod his head heavily, sad in his heart, but on the surface, he pretended to be relaxed and chuckled: "It turns out that you all know, I have always prided myself on being seamless...... If you know everything, why didn't you expose me sooner?"

"Because...... I know the owner of the door is a good person......" Tang Cong smiled miserably and muttered, "At the Ruyi Inn, that person wants to kill me...... It was the master who saved my life. Although I don't know why you got into the Xianwang Mansion, I do know ...... You won't do anything bad...... Door master, you ...... You ......"

"Actually, I'm from the imperial court!" Liu Xunyi hugged Tang Cong's head tightly, and confessed with a trembling voice, "I am Liu Xunyi, the young guard of Tianji Pavilion in Dongfu, on the order of the prime minister, infiltrated the Xianwang Mansion and waited for an opportunity to approach Luo Tianjin, with the purpose of using his hand to recruit An Wulin heroes. ”

"I knew that...... The owner of the door is by no means an ordinary person. I have been a thief all my life, first wanted by the government, and then bullied by bullies, if I hadn't met the owner, I might have been treated as a nobody for the rest of my life...... I didn't expose you, did I do a good thing for Da Song?"

"Count!" Liu Xunyi pursed his lips and smiled, "Of course you owe it to the Great Song Dynasty, to the imperial court, and even more to the people of the world!"

"Okay!" At this moment, Tang Cong's voice was almost inaudible, "Wait until I see my father under the Nine Springs...... You can straighten your back and tell him the old man...... His son is no longer a thief that everyone shouts about, but a good man. Hehe...... I'm for the old Tang family...... Glory to the ancestors......"

Before the words fell, Tang Cong suddenly tilted his head, his arms drooped to the ground, and there was no movement.

"Tang Cong!"

The wind and snow are vast, and there are few lives and deaths. Tianrong Temple, Tara Temple, a mourning, people's hearts are gloomy, and heaven and earth are sad.
