Chapter Fifty-Eight: The Soul Breaks Qi Lian's Dream and Weak Water
"There are assassins!"
"It's a woman who assassinated Her Highness! Close the city gates, don't let her escape!"
The officers and soldiers on patrol found Shi Ning lying in a pool of blood, and the palace became chaotic, and the city was full of officers and soldiers searching for assassins, Ran Shu and the senior sisters of Yuehua Palace had already left Liangzhou City and went all the way to Yinshan.
That Shi Ning was stabbed into the chest by Ran Shu's sword, and the Tianshi was taken away by disembowelment, and there were no vital signs.
Shi Xiang, the master of Taiwu Hall, hurried over, saw Shi Ning's dissected belly, and knew that the heavenly stone in Shi Ning's body was gone, and he was very anxious, and sent three teams of warriors to make a military order to hunt down Ran Shu and others and recapture the heavenly stone.
Shi Xiang immediately infused three internal forces into Shi Ning's body, but there was still no pulse.
When the masters of Taiwutang heard the news, they surrounded Shi Ning in the center, sat in a circle and tried their best to convey internal force to Shi Ning, but after half an hour, there was still no improvement.
The twelfth horseman wiped his sweat and said, "Hall Master, Your Highness's assassination time has been almost an hour, I'm afraid it's ...... I can't save it. ”
Shi Xiang ignored everyone, still did not give up, and worked hard to convey internal force to Shi Ning.
The eleventh horseman Wang Ying knelt down and cried: "Hall Master, Your Highness has unfortunately died, and tomorrow will be a decisive battle with the Qiang State, you better save your strength to destroy the Qiang Kingdom!"
Hearing Wang Ying say this, Shi Xiang seemed to understand something, he slowly withdrew his hand, and said: "Could it be that this Ran Shu, who killed His Highness, was sent by the Qiang State? The decisive battle is imminent, the people of the Qiang State know that my Zhao State is about to restore the country, and a new leader has been promoted, at this time, the action must be to let the hearts of our army be scattered, and the villain of the Qiang State actually made a bad move to destroy my good deeds, I must destroy the Qiang State and recapture the Tianshi to avenge His Highness!"
Wang Ying said: "The hall master has already said that this Ran girl is not like an ordinary girl, but I didn't expect it to be a female killer sent by the Qiang Kingdom, but His Royal Highness just didn't listen, now it's okay, I'm a ghost under the pomegranate skirt!"
Shi Xiang said sharply: "What nonsense are you talking about! The news of the sudden death of His Royal Highness the Imperial Grandson cannot be said by any of you! The leaders of the old tribes have gathered in Liangzhou, and the people of our Qiang tribe have never united since the destruction of the country, all because there is no royal family leader to come out to call, the imperial grandson Shi Ning is the son-in-law of Prince Shi Cong, and his appearance has made other Shan leaders see the hope of recovering the country, so they have come to take refuge, and now the sudden death of the imperial grandson will definitely affect the heart of the army, how should this be good......
While he was talking, he suddenly came to report, and the leaders of the Qiang tribe asked to meet the big leader Shi Ning.
Lu Xiong said: "Hall Master, which old department leaders seem to have heard some rumors......
Shi Xiang wandered around a few times, waved his hand, and said, "Secrets are not mourned!"
That night, Shi Xiang ordered the fourteenth and fifteenth to ride Zhao Dolphin and Kong Lu to assist Wang Ying, who was excellent in light skills, and secretly sent Shi Ning's body to Qilian Mountain, fifty miles away.
The Qian people worship celestial burial, so Shi Ning's body is placed on the cliff at the top of Qilian Mountain, and there is no need for the coffin to cover it, so that the eagle in the sky can peck his body away little by little.
Wang Ying and the others wept bitterly, because they were mourning in secret, they didn't dare to stay too much on the top of the mountain, they kowtowed to Shi Ning's body three times and then quickly left.
The eagle hovered in the sky, and it was obvious that Shi Ning was on the cliff at the top of the mountain, and several huge eagles swooped down and pecked off several pieces of flesh on Shi Ning's legs in an instant.
With the eagle's peck, Shi Ning moved in pain, his true qi flowed back, his pulse gradually recovered, and he came back to life again!
Fortunately, Shi Ning has the high-level exercise of Dayan Qigong to protect the body, although it was too late to be lucky to resist Ran Shu's sudden stabbing sword, this King Kong's incorruptible body was broken, but he still can't die, plus he was deeply taught by Yang Xi, the heavenly master of the Shangqing School, the three methods of internal cultivation, although he faked death at that time, once he was strongly stimulated, the effect of the three methods of internal cultivation would be automatically activated in the body, and the breath pulse could be quickly restored.
Shi Ning felt a sharp pain one after another, he felt that his abdomen was empty, and there was something missing, but he didn't have any strength at all, the Heavenly Stone in his body was dug up, and he was seriously injured, and his martial arts were all lost.
The eagle swooped down again, about to peck the flesh on Shi Ning's arm, Shi Ning tried his best to make his hand wave slightly, the eagle saw that the target moved, so it suddenly changed the direction of the dive, this peck did not peck Shi Ning.
The eagle suddenly stretched out its claws and wanted to pick up Shi Ning, but Shi Ning was huge and very difficult. Suddenly, an eagle swooped down, and the two eagles picked up Shi Ning together.
Shi Ning only felt that he was flying in the air, the cold wind blowing on his face was like a knife, and the sound of his wings flapping "snapped". The two eagles seemed to want to take Shi Ning back to their nest and enjoy it slowly, but somehow, the two eagles fought in the air, first attacking each other with their beaks, and after a while their claws were also freed up to come in handy.
So Shi Ning, who left the eagle's claws, fell vertically in an instant, and Shi Ning meditated in his heart: "This fall must be shattered, and my life will be rested!"
Hearing only a "click", Shi Ning's body was caught by a big crooked neck tree on the cliff, and before Shi Ning had time to react, the crooked neck tree was crushed with a "click", and Shi Ning continued to fall, and was caught by several trees below one after another.
Fortunately, there were many trees here, and Shi Ning was caught and fell down one by one, and finally he fell heavily under the valley of Qilian Mountain.
After being unconscious for a while, Shi Ning slowly opened his eyes and found that there was a small stream flowing beside him, and he was already very thirsty at this time, so he leaned down with all his might, put his mouth close to the water source, and sucked it.
"Smack!", suddenly a stone hit Shi Ning's head, Shi Ning almost fainted, and his head, which was still trying to suck the water source, fell into the stream.
"Who are you? How dare you come here!"
Shi Ning faintly heard a woman's voice. His head was lifted out of the water by several people, Shi Ning opened his eyes slightly, and the person in front of him startled him.
I saw a group of women dressed in human skins and human bones surrounding him.
Out of the crowd came a young woman, riding a fierce white wolf with several skulls hanging beside her, who was supposed to be the leader of the barbarians.
The female leader pressed her scepter on Shi Ning's body and asked, "Who are you?"
Shi Ning was seriously injured and couldn't speak, his mouth only opened slightly, but he couldn't make a sound.
The female leader said: "The good weak water was ruined by you, and I haven't killed anyone for a few days, but I didn't expect it to be sent to the door by myself." Bring it back and burn it to the moon god tonight!"
It turns out that the name of this stream is weak water, and it flows down from the Qilian Mountain. Shi Ning's head fell into the weak water just now, and his ears entered the water, so he couldn't hear what the group of women said behind him, he only felt that he was savagely dragged by several women, and walked for nearly a mile.
In the night, Shi Ning couldn't see what this place was at all, and he was seriously injured, so he could only be at the mercy of others. In a short time he was tied to a large stake, under which firewood was piled up, and a flash of fire flashed, and the firewood was blazing.
Shi Ning struggled in pain on the stake of the altar, and the group of women under the altar beat human skin drums and chanted aloud around the altar not quite understanding the incantation.
"Pap Papa!" the sorceress repeated the words, and the crowd followed suit.
Shi Ning heard the four words clearly, and suddenly he remembered that he was a child in the Bizi tribe of Wuling Mountain, and said in his heart: The god believed there is called "Papu Papa", which means the god of the moon, could it be that these people have anything to do with the Bizi tribe?
He looked up at the moon, the moon was exceptionally bright tonight, the fire had already burned on him, he exhausted his last strength, and finally shouted "Papu Papa" Moon God save me!
This sound was extremely loud, the sorceress stopped her practice, and everyone stopped worshipping, and the female leader got down from the human leather chair and walked to the altar, and then the fire was raging, and she looked carefully at Shi Ning's face.
"Put out the fire!" the female leader hurriedly ordered.
The sorceress said, "How can this man know about our 'Papu Papa' moon god?"
"Could it be that he is also a member of the tribe?" The female leader said.
"Leader, the person sent to the outside world to listen to the news came back and said that the Taiwu Tang and the major factions are going to attack Qilian Mountain in a big way in the near future, and this person may be a spy sent by the Taiwu Hall!"
"I have passed all the major sects on the rivers and lakes, but this Taiwutang does not know what the strength is, this time I want to see how powerful the Taiwutang is!"
"I heard that the eighteen horsemen of Taiwutang are all masters, especially their leader has world-class martial arts, and no one is invincible!"
"Let them come! If I kill their leader, I can stand up again!"
The people had extinguished the fire on the altar and removed the Shi Ning from the stake, and the sorceress probed Shi Ning's snort and said to the female leader, "There is no gas, this man has been burned to death." ”
The female leader touched the white wolf next to her, and said disdainfully: "I still wanted to ask him a few words, but I didn't expect him to be so unburned, feed him to my white wolf!"
The sorceress threw Shi Ning to the ground, and the white wolf pounced viciously on him with drool, biting him by the neck.
The white wolf did not bite off Shi Ning's neck, but licked it and returned to the female leader.
The female leader stroked the white wolf's head and said with a smile: "My little white wolf has always been a picky eater, what's wrong today, you have to be obedient!"
The white wolf is usually vicious, but it is still docile in front of its owner, and it keeps rubbing against its owner's body and howling all the time.
"Little white wolf, little white wolf, you have to listen to Grandma, Grandma will catch live people for you to eat tomorrow, okay?"
And he said, "Pull this unsightly dead man out and feed it to the other wolves!"
After the female leader finished speaking, several servants were about to pull Shi Ning away, but the white wolf rushed up and grabbed Shi Ning and didn't let the servants take him away.
The white wolf kept licking Shi Ning's neck, still howling unobstructedly. The female leader was curious, so she stepped forward to check, and under the moonlight, she saw that Shi Ning's neck seemed to be wrapped around something, and the female leader took out a necklace along the rope.
"This chain ...... This chain ...... Are you ......!" the female leader saw the necklace, and immediately collapsed on the ground, muttering to herself.
