Hu Man'er slowly opened his eyes, looked around, and found himself in an inn, lying on the soft collapse. The body is covered with bandages, and the slightest movement can cause pain all over the body.

I tried a few times to get up and see, but I found that I couldn't do it, so I had to give up.

There was a "squeak", and the wooden door of the room was pushed open from the outside. Hu Man'er glanced at it from the corner of his eye. Lu Yanran was walking into the room with a basin of water, and there was a towel on the copper basin. It seems that during Hu Man'er's coma, Lu Yanran should be taking care of her.

Hu Man'er opened his mouth and tried it, and found that although he couldn't move, he still had no problem talking.

"Where is this?" a faint inquiry floated out of Hu Man'er's mouth,

Lu Yanran was stunned at first when she heard this, and then a hint of joy flashed from the bottom of her eyes. Then he returned to normal, and said coldly: "You wake up, it's good to wake up, you rest first, and I'll go and inform the others." Then he turned and hurried away.

"This girl is a warm-hearted person, but she looks cold all day long, and she is not tired. Hu Man'er thought so.

A short time later, there was a rush of footsteps outside the door. Hu Man'er turned his head to look at the door, but the first person to come in was Gong Baojiu, and everyone followed closely. After a while, the room, which was not too big, was crowded with people, and some of them were naturally familiar. But a few of them have never been seen, and they are all covered with black robes and black gauze, and their true faces are not revealed.

Before Hu Man'er could speak, Gong Baojiu walked to the front and held his hand and asked.

"Brother Hu, are you awake, how do you feel?

Hu Man'er wanted to withdraw his hand, after all, he was held by a man...... And this man was a whore before. Just thinking about it makes me feel sick.

But there is no one in my body that is intact, and the slightest movement will hurt my heart. I had to let him hold it like this, but I always felt a little awkward. I had to turn my head away from his flattering face, and then replied weakly.

"I can't die yet, but I'm really sick to death if you pull and pull me again. ”

Only then did Gong Baojiu realize that his actions were a little inappropriate. Hurriedly let go of his hand and gently patted Hu Man'er's arm and said.

"It's good to have nothing, it's good to have nothing. Brother Hu, you don't know, you've been in a coma for three whole days. I was very worried in my eyes, and I asked all the famous doctors I should have invited, but I just didn't wake up. If I don't wake up today, I'll wait...... I'm going to prepare you for the rest later. After speaking, he pretended to wipe a handful of tears.

"Your uncle......" Hu Man'er heard that Gong Baojiu was going to prepare for his future, and he wanted to get up and give him a big slap in the face, but he forgot his current situation.

An "oops" echoed throughout the room.

Lu Yanran stood behind everyone, and couldn't help but tilt her head and purse her lips and snickered.

"Okay, don't listen to him, you're fine, but you're too badly injured. The whole body was slashed by the sword. These are just skin injuries, and it's fine. The most important thing is the sword qi in your body, which has been attacking your sea of qi. But what's a little strange is that I don't know who left a stream of true qi in your body to protect your sea of qi. So much so that your sea of qi has not been breached. You are also a fortune teller, otherwise this time you will either die or be disabled. ”

Zuo Liangqing, who was leaning on the bed beam, said coldly with his hands around his chest.

Hu Man'er remembered the child that night and asked hurriedly.

"Where's that child-like weirdo?"

"Who? We want to ask you who hurt you like this. Why did you appear in that bamboo forest?" Zuo Liangqing asked with a puzzled expression.

"That's right, Uncle Xiao, when we rushed over, it was only you and Lai Qian lying on the ground, and there was no one else. And you're still hurt like this. Zhang Hu on the side anxiously took over the conversation and said to Hu Man'er.

Hu Man'er was thoughtful, and then Zhang Hu said again.

"Oh...... This time, thanks to this senior, if it weren't for him, a few of us wouldn't have been able to break the barrier outside the bamboo forest. Not to mention being able to find you. As he spoke, he pointed to a short old man sitting cross-legged on the table in the room, with a huge wine gourd behind him.

Hu Man'er heard the cause and effect and knew that it was the old man who saved him, and he was very grateful in his heart, so he had to endure the pain and get up and salute.

The old man didn't even look at Hu Man'er, took off the wine gourd behind him and poured a sip of wine, and then said: "Don't thank the old man, if you want to thank my husband, thank my husband." If it weren't for my husband's instructions, the old man wouldn't have bothered to take care of this matter. As he spoke, he pointed to Gong Baojiu, who was looking at Hu Man'er with a smile on his face.

Hu Man'er looked at the old man, and then at Gong Baojiu. Where is this?

Gong Baojiu looked at Hu Man'er, who looked surprised, and hurriedly waved his hand and said, "No need, no need." Let's walk together all the way, and it is appropriate to take care of each other, and it is inevitably a bit vulgar to talk about thanks. Right...... Miss Lu. As he spoke, he deliberately looked at Lu Yanran.

Lu Yanran's face turned red and turned her head. Everyone saw it in their eyes and sighed in their hearts.

After a moment of silence, Hu Man'er, who was lying on the floor, asked, "Who are these people?"

Gong Baojiu then remembered that he had not introduced a few people to Hu Man'er. Hurriedly introduced: "Oh, they are all followers. As I said before, all my brothers in the family died young, and I was the only one who was fine, but I only preferred to travel all over the world, and the elders in the family were not at ease, so I didn't send a few people to protect me secretly. Seeing that Brother Hu was killed, and he was powerless to rescue him, he called out a few people to help, which was really helpless. ”

After Gong Baojiu finished speaking, he turned to the other six people standing behind him and said, "You have come forward to see Hu Gongzi as soon as possible." ”

Except for the old man sitting on the table, the rest of the people stepped forward and clasped their fists and said, "The Seven Immortals of Sui Han have seen Hu Gongzi. Because several people are in black robes and black gauzes, Hu Man'er can't see the true faces of several people, but through the steady pace and momentum of several people, it can be concluded that these people are extraordinary people.

The old man, in particular, looked short and thin, but his appearance was not good. But looking at his posture of walking like the wind and sitting like a clock, it can be seen that he should be a reclusive master.

Hu Man'er nodded slightly, which was considered a return of courtesy.

Zuo Liangqing saw that a few people finished speaking, and hurriedly interjected: "Okay, let's talk about it, what's going on." Who the hell hurt you like this?"

Since Zuo Liangqing opened his mouth to ask, Hu Man'er had no choice but to tell everything that happened that night in detail. It's just that the matter of the magic pill was hidden during the period. After all, this matter is about himself, Hu Man'er doesn't want too many people to know, and even if he just listened to the mysterious doll talk about the magic pill, he doesn't know exactly what it is.

After Hu Man'er finished speaking, everyone fell silent. Only the short old man on the table heard Hu Man'er talk about the doll. A hint of surprise flashed in his eyes, only for a moment, and no one noticed.

"Who is this person? According to what you said, this person is so good at cultivation that he should be famous in the rivers and lakes. How can I hear you describe his appearance, but I don't have any impression at all?" Zuo Liangqing was even more puzzled after listening to Hu Man'er's statement.

Among these people, Zuo Liangqing is the most knowledgeable, and even he doesn't know the origin of this person, let alone others.

"I don't know where it came from, but the beast ...... If I'm not mistaken, it should be the ancient desolate beast Qiqi. I've read an ancient book that says something about this beast. There are clouds in the book: "Its shape is like a cow and a tiger, with a moth hair, wings, and it is inscribed as a poor and strange beast." The shape is very ugly, galloping away demons and evils, and they don't run away, and they are called god dogs. But this beast must be extinct with the dragon, right?" After thinking for a while, Zuo Liangqing continued.

After Zuo Liangqing finished speaking, the room fell silent again.

Perhaps because of the weakness of the body, Hu Man'er coughed lightly twice at this time, and his face was slightly pale.

Lu Yanran glanced at Hu Man'er, and said with some concern: "Okay, next time we see him and kill him, are we afraid that he won't succeed if we go together?" Could it be that he has three heads and six arms? Let the little uncle take care of his injuries." With that, he left the room first.

When everyone heard this, a chill drifted through.

After everyone dispersed, Hu Man'er lay alone on the couch and looked at the hanging tassel on the roof beam, and fell into deep thought.

In one of the rooms of the inn......

The short old man drank the last sip of wine in the wine gourd, and said to Gong Baojiu: "Sir, I recognize the doll in that boy's mouth." ”
