Chapter 103: The Calm Before the Storm
Granny Xiong suddenly realized: "Oh, yes, yes, what Mr. Nangong said is very true." My smiling mandala is made of mandala essence and seventy-seven forty-nine kinds of poisonous herbs and poisonous insects, the antidote, it should only be available to the old woman, so let's do it, I'll give you half an antidote first, which can be relieved for half a month. Within half a month, the book was exchanged for the antidote, and the old woman would not break her promise. ”
Nangong Wu was constantly struggling in her heart at this time, if she continued to fight, she was sure that she could win, but even if she won, wouldn't it be the end if she destroyed the antidote? Now I am afraid that the only way to advance is to retreat, first stabilize the toxicity for the time being, and then use the power of the imperial court to save it, even if it can't, in the end, you can exchange books for medicine.
"Okay," Nangong Wu immediately shouted: "According to what Granny Xiong said, exchange books for antidotes within half a month." I hope Granny Xiong won't regret it when the time comes, otherwise it will ......"
Nangong Wu turned around and grabbed the tree behind him, leaving a few lines of paw prints when the trunk was up, and three points into the wood. Granny Xiong was shocked in her heart: This Nangong Wu is really extraordinary, and she is no longer the little hairy child she was back then.
"Mr. Nangong has good claw power, the old woman admires it, you go back and carefully rummage through the doll surnamed Bai, in his personal pocket, there is a pale yellow pill that can save his life for fifteen days. ”
Granny Bear was very good, and she disappeared from sight in a blink of an eye, but the most terrifying thing was what Granny Bear did. It turned out that she had planned it a long time ago, and everything that happened was under her control. Everything can't stand looking back, thinking about it, Nangong Wu couldn't help but shudder, this is too terrifying, it is really a good plan.
Time flies, the day of the martial arts conference is approaching in a flash, this night, Huangshan can't sleep all night. Wei Yuehua accompanied her left and right, seeing that she was anxious in her eyes, she didn't know how to comfort Huangshan.
"Brother Shan, the matter has come to this, it's useless for you to be anxious, I think the dark tide of Nanzhao City is probably over a long time ago, and the peace at this moment is rare. We have no way out, even if you want to retreat, there are people who will not let you retreat, it is better to settle down and act tomorrow. ”
It was the first time for Huangshan to face such a big thing, and he only needed to do it with enthusiasm before, but seeing that tomorrow was the date of the martial arts conference, he really didn't know the bottom of his heart at this time. It was at this time that he felt more and more like a lonely person, with only Wei Yuehua by his side.
For Wei Huayue, Huang Shan is both grateful and guilty, if the martial arts conference can go according to his expectations, then everything will be fine. If there is a mistake, he is nothing, but where should Wei Yuehua go?
"Yuehua, I want to send you to Dangshan Temple tonight, and then ......"
Wei Yuehua smiled indifferently and interrupted Huang Shan: "Then what? Then do you come back to face it? Are you afraid that things will repeat, and then I can't protect myself? Brother Shan, we are a family, I am your person in life and your ghost in death." Whether it goes well or not, I have to accompany you, in the face of life and death, I just need to be with you. Besides, with me I can give you ideas, and if I'm not there, I'll worry more about you, understand?"
Huang Shan's heart was greatly moved, as the saying goes, I wish to have one heart, and the white head will not be separated, is it Wei Yuehua? Huang Shan hugged Wei Yuehua in his arms, and at this moment there were no words but he said everything.
At this moment, I can't sleep all night, and Xi Wuhan, Xi Wuhan is pestering Duan Baoji, hoping that Duan Baoji can take her to participate in the martial arts conference.
"Master, I really want to go, Brother Shan is facing so much pressure now, I should be by his side. Master, I beg you, you can take me there. ”
Xi Wuhan's pleading did not impress Duan Baoji, Duan Baoji has been much softer since she released her previous suspicions with Yang Andao, and she is not as irritable as before. Xi Wuhan also saw this, so she dared to beg so unscrupulously, if this had been placed before, Duan Baoji would have been angry a long time ago.
"Wuhan, the teacher knows your mood, and can fully understand your mood, but do you know who will appear in the martial arts conference tomorrow? Your brother mountain is also using these things as bait to lure these people out, tomorrow is very likely to be a vicious battle, with your kung fu, it will not help in the slightest, but will affect your brother Shan, understand?"
Xi Wuhan is also stubborn, although she agrees with what the master said, although she also knows that she may be unhelpful, but she doesn't know why, there is always an impulse in her heart.
"But if that's the case, I should go all the more, and I also have a duty to protect what my father left behind. We once promised our mother that we would love each other forever, but when he is in danger, how can I stand idly by?"
Duan Baoji glanced at Xi Wuhan and sighed meaningfully: "Wuhan, tell you the truth with your teacher, do you like Huangshan in your heart? Do you know that in his heart, there may only be that Wei girl?"
Duan Baoji didn't beat around the bush, because she felt that it was better to say some things implicitly than to guess them directly. In this way, no matter what, even if it is injured, it will only be once. She is a person from the past, and she knows too well the thoughts of young boys and girls.
Xi Wuhan tilted his head and thought for a long time before Ai Ai said: "Master, how do you say this? I don't know if you can understand, I have always regarded him as my own brother, but when other women want to be with him, I don't feel good about it." I don't know if it's love, I don't know what kind of relationship it belongs to, master, in fact, I don't know how to say it......"
Duan Baoji breathed a sigh of relief, it turned out that she was thinking too much, and there was no such affection between men and women between Xi Wuhan and Huangshan. She just hasn't gotten used to having another woman next to her person who she sees as her brother, so it's okay so that neither of them will end up hurting because of love. In this world, any wound can be healed, but heartache and emotional wound are the most abrasive and the most unhealable.
"Okay," Duan Baoji kindly touched Xi Wuhan's head: "Go and rest, practice hard at home, as long as there is a teacher, your mountain brother will have no problem." ”
In the open space in the Wuwei Temple, Xi Wusi stood with his sword, and suddenly his wrist flicked, shaking a few sword flowers. The long sword then came out of his hand and shot towards the corridor, and Wusi followed, his body faster than the sword. I saw Wusi grab the long sword, and in an instant, the entire clearing was filled with cold and shining sword qi. Xi Wusi's body technique was as fast as an ape, and the momentum under the long sword was becoming more and more domineering, and everywhere the sword qi went, there were gusts of wind and waves. After a while, the sword qi had already surrounded him, and from a distance, he could only see a cocoon composed of sword qi, and Wusi was a silkworm that was constantly spreading a cocoon in the middle.
On the corridor, a monk stood with his hands in his hands, and when he saw Xi Wusi practicing his sword, he nodded and smiled frequently. Suddenly, the monk pulled out the ring knife in his hand, rolled sideways, and a burst of knife light scattered towards Xi Wusi like a heavenly maiden scattering flowers.
Xi Wusi sneered, and as soon as the long sword was raised, it stabbed straight towards the sword light. I saw the swords intersect, stirring up bursts of sparks, like brilliant fireworks exploding in the night sky. The monk's sword technique was calm and swift as the wind, and Xi Wusi's sword was light and domineering, and for a time the sword was inseparable.
The two fought, and when it was time to have fun, Xi Wusi suddenly jumped up with a loud roar, and at the same time, with a wave of the long sword, a sword qi rushed straight towards the monk. The monk was also not afraid, and at the same time as he flashed, the sword face swept directly towards the head of Wusi. Xi Wusi's long sword was raised, blocking the ring knife, and at the same time, the sword technique in his right hand went straight to the monk's kidney Yu acupoint.
The sword light flashed again, and the monk either had his kidney and Yu acupoint wounded, or his hand holding the knife was cut by the sword. In a dilemma, the monk closed his eyes tightly and waited for a thoughtless move. At this critical juncture, Xi Wusi hurriedly stopped the trick and hurriedly confessed to the monk.
"Senior brother, my brother is reckless, and I ask my brother to punish him. ”
The monk smiled slightly and said: "Senior brother, your swordsmanship and internal strength are becoming more and more decent, I am no longer your opponent, if it takes some time, I am afraid that I will not be able to pass ten moves under you." ”
Xi Wuhan was still modest, and the monk hurriedly said: "Senior brother, I know what you want to say, at this time, the fact is that you are already a wizard of martial arts, coupled with your hard work, I am afraid that no one can match your achievements in martial arts in the future." Tomorrow is the day of the martial arts conference, you pack up and go to Nanzhao City to help your brother. The master said that the essence of martial arts is to be exercised in the competition, and only by constantly fighting with the masters can you discover your weaknesses and absorb the essence. ”
Xi Wusi was very excited, it had always been the senior brothers who fed him, he also knew that there were mountain people outside the mountain, he also wanted to see the outside world, and at the same time, he had always wanted to fight side by side with Huangshan. He thanked his senior brother and trotted all the way to his residence, his face full of anticipation and excitement at this moment.
The senior brother prepared a fast horse for him, he hastily packed up a few clothes, put on his long sword and rode away, and the horse struggled and raised a puff of dust.
The wind blew in his ears, and he didn't go to enjoy the night scene along the way, with the faint light of the stars and moon, the sound of horses' hooves crushed the quiet night, until he saw an obese figure not far ahead.
He Xiong stood with his hands in his hands, staring at Xi Wusi galloping towards him. Xi Wusi was thinking about hurrying, but he didn't expect someone to suddenly appear on the road, he didn't recognize He Xiong, he only knew that someone was blocking his way, and he was an uninvited guest.
The first strike is strong, this is the principle he has been adhering to since he practiced martial arts, and now it is no exception, since he doesn't know the depth of the other party, then he can only strike first. Xi Wuhan took advantage of the momentum to kick on the saddle, his figure rose up, the long sword suddenly struck, and a cold light went straight towards He Xiong.
