Chapter Seventy-Five: Drawing the Soul
The cry came from Zhang Ying, who was half-asleep and woke up when she felt the change of the idol, and she opened her eyes to look. This look was not tight, and found that the eyes of the statue of Guan Gong were originally squinted, but they opened at this time, Zhang Ying's heart was shocked, and she cried out.
Wei Qimu heard the sound and glanced at the man in black again, his eyes were indeed closed, and he said in surprise: "What's wrong with you?
Zhang Ying trembled and stretched out a hand, pointing to the statue of Guan Gong, speechless. Wei Qimu looked at it, and the statue of Guan Gong was indeed with round eyes, amazing momentum, and quite majestic, but he didn't pay attention to whether the statue was squinting or opening his eyes at first, but Zhang Ying was asleep and confused.
Wei Qimu was about to comfort Zhang Ying, when a voice came from outside the temple: "Guan Gong opens his eyes, he must kill someone." As soon as he finished speaking, the man had entered the temple.
Wei Qimu looked at people by the light of the fire, and said, "Xuanwu?"
The person who came was also soaked, a middle-aged man, his eyebrows and eyes were like axes and knives, a little more sharp than usual, it was Xuanwu.
Xuanwu also recognized Wei Qimu, a suspicious light flashed in his eyes, and he said coldly: "It's you, you want to kill me?"
Wei Qimu heard it in a fog: "Why should I kill you?"
Xuanwu didn't answer, glanced around, and fell on the man in black who was sitting. The man in black seemed to feel the gaze of the visitor, and suddenly opened his eyes, but his gaze was dim and cloudy, and he could barely see. As soon as this person's eyes opened, he took out a dagger from his arms, and with the power of a palm, his body bounced forward and stabbed at Xuanwu.
From the moment this person opened his eyes, to the moment he took out a dagger and stabbed at Xuanwu, it was only in an instant. Wei Qimu's eyes were sick, and he shouted softly: "Be careful!"
Seeing that the dagger was in front of him, Xuanwu didn't say a word, only flipped his right hand, let go of the dagger, and held the wrist of the man in black. Xuanwu was about to open his mouth to ask, but the dagger in the man's hand swirled around his fingers, cutting at Xuanwu's right hand, and at the same time, his left hand formed a fist and hit Xuanwu's waist.
Xuanwu caught the punch of the man in black with his left hand, but his right hand had to be released. The black-clothed man's right hand gained momentum, and he stabbed Xuanwu in front of his chest and face. Xuanwu's hands were wide open and closed, but the little dagger couldn't attack it. After a few moves like this, only to hear Xuanwu shout, he used his strength with both hands, parted the arms of the man in black, and suddenly grabbed the black cloth. Xuanwu pulled hard, but unexpectedly, the black clothes were torn off by him all at once. Xuanwu said "not good", and sure enough, there was no figure in front of him, but he felt a cold back of his waist, and the dagger reached his waist through the wet clothes.
Seeing this, Wei Qimu was about to help, but he heard the man in black say "huh". After the dagger passed through the clothes, it was difficult to get half a cent. It turned out that Xuanwu had been practicing Xuangong since he was a child, and the muscles and muscles on his body were clearly divided horizontally and vertically, like tortoise shells, ordinary swords, and it was difficult to hurt in the slightest. Xuanwu took this opportunity to hold the wrist with his backhand, and then raised an elbow to hit the man in black on the jaw. The man in black's jaw was directly dislocated, and his mouth was whining, and the pain was unbearable. Xuanwu took advantage of the situation and slapped his palm on the head, and the man in black was killed.
Luo Xia and Zhang Ying didn't say a word from beginning to end, and Wei Qimu asked, "Who wants to kill you?"
Xuanwu killed this person, and then he breathed a sigh of relief, and sat down next to the fire: "Naturally, he is the one who wants to kill my mouth." ”
Wei Qimu felt that this Xuanwu was not as dull as his face, and said with a smile: "That's also something you overheard that shouldn't be heard." ”
Xuanwu saw that Wei Qimu's kindness did not seem to be fake, and he also smiled: "You should blame them for doing something they shouldn't have done." ”
Zhang Ying couldn't help but interject: "You two are really ......"
Wei Qimu asked again, "Where are you going?"
Xuanwu hesitated for a moment and replied, "Taihu Salt Gang." ”
The corners of Wei Qimu's eyebrows raised slightly, and he hesitated: "Go to find the Qinglong Vermilion Bird?"
Xuanwu exclaimed, "How do you know they are there?"
Wei Qimu chuckled, and told him about the encounter with Qinglong, Baihu, and Vermilion Bird, but he naturally hid the fact that Suzaku taught him to solve acupoints and asked him to call his sister.
After Wei Qimu finished speaking, he sighed with emotion: "I just didn't expect that half a year has passed, and they are still there, and I don't know what happened to them going to the Salt Gang." ”
Xuanwu sighed: "The White Tiger and the three of us are like each other, who would have thought that once they would turn against each other? As for what happened to Qinglong in the Salt Gang, I don't know very well, it seems to be related to Manichaeism and the Tang Sect. Before he left, he asked me to inquire about some news, and now I have an eyebrow......"
Before the words fell, I only heard a broken sound above my head, and the big mouth of the Guan Gong statue shattered, and two hidden weapons were spit out from it, which were as fast as lightning, rushing to Xuanwu's forehead and Xuanwu's chest. Xuanwu had already relaxed his vigilance and sat and chatted with Wei Qimu, but suddenly there was a sudden change, and he couldn't dodge, so he had to fold his hands to protect his forehead. The secret weapon came so fast that it penetrated Xuanwu's pair of iron palms alive before it lost its strength, while the other one penetrated Xuanwu's chest unhindered.
Wei Qimu and Zhang Ying sat on both sides, Xuanwu was facing the statue of Guan Gong, and the three of them sat in the finished font, the secret weapon came abruptly, and it was extremely fast, so that neither of them was in a hurry to rescue.
Zhang Ying said in horror: "Could it be ...... Did Guan Gong manifest his spirit?"
He immediately stood up and slapped his palm at the idol, which shattered in response, and sure enough, a black shadow jumped out of it. The black shadow pulled the two hidden weapons, and the body had already floated outside the temple like a ghost. It turned out that the two hidden weapons were pulled by filaments, and they couldn't be seen in the dark. As soon as this secret weapon was pulled out, Xuanwu snorted in pain, and his anger was like a gossamer.
Wei Qimu was about to chase after him, but he heard Xuanwu shouting: "Brother Wei don't chase ......"
Wei Qimu hurriedly stopped the bleeding for him, but he was pierced through the heart by a hidden weapon, and he couldn't survive. Xuanwu took his last breath and said: "Tell Qinglong, be careful of Chen Lin's ......" Before he could say anything, he had already lost his breath.
When Wei Qimu saw Xuanwu dead, his heart was gloomy. After a long time, he turned his mind around, and chewed in his heart, "Who is Chen Lin, but I haven't heard of this person." ”
Luo Xia said weakly: "It seems that killing him is a 'soul cone'." ”
As soon as the words fell, an eerie voice floated in from outside the temple: "Yes, yes, the girl has good eyesight, it is this cone." ”
The "Soul Cone of Silk Drawing" is not a nameless thing, it ranks eleventh on the "Weapon Spectrum", this awl has been refined by ice and fire, it is exceptionally hard and sharp, and it can penetrate mountains and crack stones.
Wei Qimu has also heard of the name of this sharp weapon, more than ten years ago, this cone fell into the hands of Shen Chai, the "Killer Langjun", Shen Chai was a first-class assassination master, and with such a divine weapon, it was like a tiger with wings, and he had killed people for more than ten years.
Wei Qimu opened his mouth and asked, "Are you Shen Chai?"
Outside the temple, Shen Chai said with a smile: "Apart from me, Shen Chai, who else is worthy of this 'Silk Soul Attracting Cone'? Since Xuanwu told you the secret before he died, then I can't say that I want to make an extra profit! This time, the three of them will not lose ...... loss."
Seeing that Shen Chai was so rampant, Wei Qimu snorted coldly: "If you have the ability, Wei Mou can take the head of the master." ”
Wei Qimu sent this words, but there was no sound outside the temple, he was first and second, and he knew that Shen Chai had left, which made him very embarrassed, but fortunately, Luo Xia Zhang Ying and the others had no intention of making fun of him now.
Wei Qimu said in his heart, "This Shen chasing is haunted, coupled with Luo Xia's poisoning, Zhang Ying's martial arts are low, I have to protect the two of them, I'm afraid it will be very difficult." ”
He remembered that Xuanwu and Qinglong Suzaku were in the same door, and he couldn't bear the Xuanwu corpse wilderness, so he immediately used the "colorful phoenix double flying wings" to dig a shallow pit in the corner of the temple and bury Xuanwu.
Luo Xia was so angry when she saw that her divine soldier was used by Wei Qimu to pry bricks and dig up the soil, but she had a hard time speaking, and she only hated him again and again with cold eyes, but Wei Qimu pretended not to see anything this time.
After a busy night, the sky grew whiter and the rain stopped.
Wei Qimu paced outside the temple, looking east and west, that Shen Chai was indeed not nearby, and what was even more pleasing was that the horse and car were also there, so he beckoned Luo Xia and Zhang Ying to come out.
Luo Xia's strength regained a little at this time, but he said: "It is rumored that Shen is chasing insidious, this carriage and horse are not damaged, but I am afraid of fraud." ”
Wei Qimu said yes in his heart, secretly saying that he was reckless. He hurriedly checked the surroundings of the carriage and horses, and fortunately, Wei Qimu had extraordinary eyesight, and finally found two silver wires behind the carriage. It was as thin as a mosquito's foot, but it was extremely tough, with a spoke attached to each end of the silk thread, and the other end to a dense place not far away. Wei Qimu stepped forward to take a look, it was actually connected with two stones, and these two stones were each pressed with a cork, one end of the cork was inserted into the ground, and it was pressed by the stone like a bow, and it was ready to go, and there were many small wooden cones densely inserted on the cork, and the cone head was black, obviously quenched and poisonous.
Wei Qimu saw this small mechanism, because of the situation, the design is thorough, if you don't notice, as soon as the carriage moves, the wooden cone will shoot into the car, although he himself is fine, he is afraid that Luo Xia and Zhang Ying will suffer accidents. Wei Qimu didn't expect this Shen to be so vicious, so he destroyed the mechanism at the moment, and checked the inside and outside of the car again to ensure that he was safe.
After walking for a long time, I saw the wind in the forest on the side of the road, and the ghostly laughter of Shen Chai was mixed with the wind. Wei Qimu was on guard, but as soon as the wind was exhausted, the laughter of Shen Chai disappeared. Wei Qimu wasted his energy, but he couldn't even see Shen Chai's shadow. If it was like three times, Wei Qimu was miserable, and he didn't dare to rashly abandon Luo Xia and Zhang Ying to find Shen Chase. In this way, it has reached the point where listening to the wind and smelling the birds are like people.
Wei Qimu smiled bitterly: "Today, I know that the ancients 'the wind is rumoring, and the grass and trees are all soldiers', and it is not false. ”
Although Luo Xia's strength was weak, her mind was very clear, and she knew that Wei Qimu was suffering in order to protect the two of her at this time, so she called Wei Qimu into the car.
Luo Xia said softly: "The enemy is dark and I am clear, why don't you show the enemy weakness and lure him to show up?"
Wei Qimu said: "I think so too, I'm afraid that I won't be able to take care of you at that time." ”
Zhang Ying hurriedly said: "Don't worry, I can protect Sister Luoxia." ”
Wei Qimu saw that her eyes were fixed, and his heart was a little calm, and he walked a few miles at the moment. Shen Chai always followed along the way, still letting out eerie laughter from time to time, disturbing Wei Qimu's mind.
Wei Qimu seemed to be exhausted by Shen Chasing this day, and had to stop the carriage. After Wei Qimu got out of the car, he leaned under the tree and dozed off. Zhang Ying also helped Luo Xia get out of the carriage, and the two sat on the inside of Wei Qimu.
Shen Chai in the forest saw the three of them like this, his mind was full of thoughts, and he was uncertain. After a quarter of an hour, he saw Wei Qimu's calm expression and snoring slightly, and it was expected that Wei Qimu was tired and difficult to support in the past two days, but he still didn't dare to advance. Shen Chai let out an eerie laugh at first, and got closer and closer, only to see Wei Qimu as if he hadn't heard it, while the other two looked frightened. Suddenly, the wind stopped laughing, and there was a slight sound of breaking the air, and two hidden weapons stabbed Luo Xia and Wei Qimu. This hidden weapon is coming very fast, but Wei Qimu has already been on guard, his ears can hear it clearly, he bounces up, holds a "Caifeng Double Flying Wing" in each hand, picks the hidden weapon with the head of the gun, and wraps the filament on the hidden weapon around the head of the gun a few times, inserts it into the ground, and the hidden weapon cannot move a bit.
Shen Chai exclaimed in his heart, "It's not good, I've been tricked!" He was about to escape, but the soul attraction cone couldn't pull it back, so he had to float out of the forest.
Wei Qimu only saw the appearance of the "silk soul cone" at this time, there are two of these cones, but one inch long, half a finger thick, the color is dark and bright, only the tip of the cone is as black as ink, it should be quenched poison, the tail of the cone is tied with a slender silver wire, and the cone is engraved with two seal words of "soul attraction".
Wei Qimu looked at the fallen Shen Chase again, and said in surprise: "It's you!"
