Chapter 112: Riding Alone and Flying Smoke to the East City
The five people of the Eagle Clan buried the bodies of the dead four on the spot, worshiped three times, the time was in a hurry, the tombstone incense and candles were too late to prepare, everyone first lived at the foot of the mountain for one night, and waited until the next day into the Qianyun Mansion to buy tribute incense and candles, and came back to worship the four people.
In a blink of an eye, the second day, the smoke and rain were thick, last night's downpour washed away the blood on the soil, and also washed away the four low tombs, the mountain was full of muddy land, Chao Ying Clan and others had to flee to the Qianyun Mansion with the corpse on their backs, and after skillfully covering up, they found an inn to live in, took a short rest, did not dare to stay longer, and purchased horses, and rushed back to the top of the mountains day and night.
Zhu Qingqiu and Ren Shanhuai have woken up after the careful treatment of Lijiang wine, their skills have not fully recovered but they have been able to walk freely, Luo Baiyi and Rao Mengli have suffered different degrees of internal and external injuries, but fortunately, they have not hurt the fundamentals, Lijiang wine has applied medicine to them, regulated their qi and blood, and they are already fine. Liu Yuanjun's internal injuries were too serious, but Lijiang Jiu had used extreme yang internal force to heal them, and although he suppressed the injuries, he still needed to recuperate for a period of time, and use herbs to dissolve blood stasis in his body. And Chu Qing'an's injuries were even lighter, she was also the first to recover, and she has been staying by Dao Xueke's side, never leaving half a step.
But Xiao Wuxian never woke up again, under Rao Mengli's plea, Lijiang Wine took Xiao Wuxian's pulse, but Xiao Wutrace's Yin and Yang Heart-devouring Palm was a martial art that greatly damaged the meridians, and Xiao Wutrace's internal force was not recovered, but was forced to condense the internal force by the drug, Xiao Wutrace's dantian was destroyed, the meridians of the whole body were broken, and all the internal organs were damaged, plus many wounds on the body had been bone, and he was already seriously injured, or in other words, the real Xiao Wuxian had already died, and the residual trace of consciousness in his brain and the pill of pills drove this walking dead who only knew how to kill without painγ
Lijiangjiu couldn't do anything, Rao Mengli had to accept the reality, she buried Xiao Wuxian's body on Mengyao Mountain, carved a stone tablet, and wrote: The late hall master of the Ten Ghost Hall, the tomb of the late father Xiao Wuxian. found incense, candles, melons and fruits, and worshiped and kowtowed, Luo Baiyi did not worship with her, probably because it was still difficult to accept the fact that Xiao Farewell was Xiao Wuxian, and Dao Xueke was still in a coma. Rao Mengli bowed three times, lit incense and candles, filled the offerings, and poured a glass of wine, and the bone flute stained red with blood was placed on the table. Everything was ready, Rao Mengli retreated and knelt down again, kowtowed again and again, and said softly: "Father, my daughter has come to worship you." Whether you are Xiao Wuxian or Xiao Bieli, Ying Wuji's subordinates, or the hall master of the Ten Ghost Hall, you have always been the most respected and beloved father who has raised Xiaoli for seventeen years. The daughter also worships her father on behalf of Brother Luo and Brother Xue, and Brother Feng, who is thousands of miles away. The daughter believes that one day, Brother Luo will figure it out, and Brother Xue will forgive her father for the wrong things he did. The daughter also has to follow them to fight against Ying Wuji's conspiracy and avenge her father. The father cherished, and the daughter went. With that, the crystal tears fell into the soil, Rao Mengli slowly got up, quietly left, and returned to the grass house.
At this time, in the grass house, everyone had their own thoughts: Luo Baiyi locked himself in the room, not knowing what to do again; Liu Yuanjun sat on the bed stupidly, Rao Mengli and others had told Liu Yuanjun what happened after she fell into a coma, and Liu Yuanjun was also extremely helpless, except for worrying about Dao Xueke, there was nothing he could do. While sitting on the bed to recuperate, his eyes drifted out of the window; Rao Mengli wanted to find Luo Baiyi after worshipping Xiao Wuxian, but was turned away, so he could only go back to the room alone, crying and sighing; Zhu Qingqiu and Ren Shanhuai were holding Qinghuaiqin, and the two of them didn't know where to go for a walk and talking; while Lijiangjiu was checking the pulse of Daoxue in the Daoxue guest room, Chu Qingan was waiting anxiously on the side.
Seeing that Lijiang Jiu was silent, Chu Qing'an couldn't help asking, "Senior, how is Brother Xue's situation?"
Lijiang Jiu put down the sleeve of Dao Xueke, sighed, and looked at Chu Qing'an with a smile and said, "Let's not talk about him first, girl, how is your own injury, you have been here for almost a day and a night without rest, which is not conducive to your recovery." Chu Qing'an didn't know where to put his two hands, and replied with a slight smile: "I don't have anything, it's just that Brother Xue was too seriously injured last night, and I really don't worry about him alone." Although my predecessors have already taught me "Jishi Qing Bag", I still have time to study deeply, and I can't heal Brother Xue's injuries, so I can only rely on my predecessors. Please ask the seniors to tell me, what happened to Brother Xue?"
"Hey-" Lijiangjiu sighed, shook his head and said: "Last night, he was seriously injured both inside and outside, his meridians were damaged, his internal strength was exhausted, and it was already a miracle that he survived. Although this kid is young, but the internal strength is profound, the ten directions to the heart work can not work, although to protect the most important heart vein, but now he can not move the gong on his own, plus when the internal force is greatly reduced, he even dares to forcibly urge the internal force, the operation of the first dust meridian and the blood will lose the heart knife, although the first dust meridian is small, but it can not repair the damage to the body for a long time blood will lose the heart, resulting in serious damage to the meridians, although I suppressed the injury for him, and used internal force and herbs to protect the meridians for him, but his dantian was exhausted, the true qi was dissipated, although his life was saved, I am afraid that in the future, the martial arts will be lostγ β
"Martial arts lost?" Chu Qing'an was shocked when he heard this, and hurriedly knelt down and kowtowed to Lijiang wine again and again.
Lijiangjiu was a little surprised, so he helped her up, but Chu Qingan refused to get up, and Lijiangjiu asked, "Girl, what are you doing?"
"The seniors must help Brother Xue, Brother Xue must not lose his martial arts, then he will definitely collapse. Chu Qing'an knelt at the foot of Lijiang wine, looked at Lijiang wine with teary eyes, and pleaded bitterly.
"Martial arts are really so important to you?" Lijiangjiu was a little incomprehensible, "If it were me, I would rather not learn martial arts and spend my life ordinarily with the people I love, wouldn't it be good?" Chu Qingan said with a wry smile when he heard this: "Although this is the case, in this chaotic rivers and lakes, it is a luxury. Besides, Brother Xue's revenge has not been avenged, and his heart knot has not been untied, if he loses his martial arts since then, then he will definitely collapse. Ask the seniors to think of a way, and you must help Brother Xue. β
Lijiangjiu slowly got up, paced and said: "How many things in the world are caused by grievances and hatreds, but when will the grievances be avenged? Girl, you taught me this truth, you are so smart, can't you solve the grudge in his heart?"
Chu Qing'an was also a little helpless, so she said: "I don't know ...... either" She lowered her head, and suddenly her eyes lit up, and she raised her head again and said: "If I lose all my internal strength to Brother Xue, will there be any salvation?" Although my internal strength is not deep, it is still a method!"
Hearing this, Lijiang Jiu asked: "But you said before that your father died at the hands of a traitor, if you have no martial arts, how can you take revenge?"
"As long as I can cure Brother Xue, I don't care......" Chu Qing'an replied.
"It's useless, if this method is feasible, I have already lost my true qi and internal force for him, so why use your internal force? His current meridians are very fragile, if he forcibly instills internal force, I am afraid that he will not only not be able to recover his internal strength, but will also burst his meridians and die. At that point, I was helpless. It's just that there is a method in "Jishi Qing Bag", which may be cured. Lijiangjiu said suddenly.
Chu Qing'an seemed to grasp the last straw of hope, and immediately stood up and said, "Please make it clear to your seniors!"
"There is a kind of herb recorded in the third volume of the "Ji Shi Qing Bag". Growing on the top of the southern mountains, the homeland of the Chao Eagle Clan. It is called Snow Rock Xiuyun Grass, and the living environment of this grass is extremely treacherous and extremely rare. Legend has it that this grass grows on the top of the mountains, among the rubble, and only blooms once a year. If you can find this grass, after it blooms, take its petals, mash them into medicine, and give them to the knife snow service, you can repair the meridians, clear the dantian, gather internal force, and bring the dead back to life. Lijiangjiu said slowly, "But this grass only appears in legends, and it is in foreign territory, and it has never appeared in the Central Plains, so it is difficult to get this grass." β
"No matter how hard it is to find that Snow Rock Cloud Cultivation Grass, I will also pick it up and give it medicine to Brother Xue. When Brother Xue recovers a little, I will go to the top of the mountains in southern Xinjiang, and even if I am crushed, I will bring back the grass. Chu Qing'an said firmly. Seeing that she was so determined, Lijiangjiu was willing to go to the soup for Dao Xueke, so he didn't stop it, and said: "Okay, you come with me to prepare some herbs to nourish qi and blood, and give them to this kid to eat, which will help him recover from his injuries." So Chu Qing'an went to the hall with Lijiang wine to get medicine.
At this time, Ren Shanhuai and Zhu Qingqiu walked together, Zhu Qingqiu held Qinghuaiqin in his arms, Ren Shanhuai took a jade flute, the two returned hand in hand, returned to the grass house, passed by the horse shed, but did not see the Liu Yuanjun's mount screaming and stepping on the snow, there were doubts, so he walked into the courtyard quickly, and suddenly heard the sound of broken dishes in the Daoxue guest room, everyone hurried to hear the sound, only to see that Chu Qing'an was standing in the Daoxue guest room, the medicine bowl in his hand had turned into fragments on the ground, the decoction was splashed on the ground, and the Daoxue Ke was nowhere to be seen. Seeing everyone coming, Chu Qing'an hurriedly said with a slight cry: "Brother Xue is gone!"
Ren Shanhuai also said: "The sorrowful snow is gone, it seems that Ah Xue went down the mountain on his own." But the sad sound of stepping on the snow is the god of the world, how can we catch up?" Chu Qing'an didn't care about that much, and lifted the snow folding sword to push everyone away and rushed down the mountain, and everyone was helpless, so they had to find Lijiang wine first to discuss countermeasures. Luo Baiyi still stayed in his room and did not come out, except for him, Dao Xueke, Chu Qing'an, Lijiangjiu, Rao Mengli, Ren Shanhuai, and Zhu Qingqiu came to Liu Yuanjun's room, and the five of them sat together and discussed the next step.
"Ah Xue is likely to have gone to Tanglin Mansion now, and with his temper, he will definitely find out the truth, but he has never considered the risk. Usually he is calm, but when it comes to old hatred, he can't care about anything, cough cough. Liu Yuanjun said with a gloomy face.
"But Brother Xue is now losing all his internal strength, so Nan Xiangzi and Sheng Mohai are clearly tempting him to go to Tanglin, and Tanglin Mansion must be in crisis, how can this be good. Chu Qing'an was restless and anxious.
"Lost internal strength?" Except for Chu Qing'an and Lijiang Jiu, the rest of the people were surprised, "What's going on?"
Lijiang Jiu then told everyone about the situation of Dao Xueke, but only omitted the healing method and the fact that Chu Qing'an was going to southern Xinjiang to collect herbs for Dao Xueke, which was also what Chu Qing'an begged her not to tell everyone. When Liu Yuanjun heard this, he was worried, and he was really relieved not to get off the knife, so he was about to get up and get out of bed: "I'll chase Ah Xue back, cough cough cough ......" But because of the violent cough, his arm was weak, and he collapsed on the bed again. Rao Mengli and Chu Qing'an hurriedly helped her to do a good job, patted her back and comforted: "Senior Sister Liu, don't worry, your injury has not healed, you must not affect the injury again." β
"But Brother Xue rode away Miss Liu's sorrowful snow, and we don't have a mount, if we want to go to the Cloud Mansion to buy enough, we will definitely delay the hour. And with our talking skills, I'm afraid that Brother Xue is about to leave the city of Tilting Cloud Mansion. Zhu Qingqiu said with a frown.
Just as everyone was hesitating, a voice suddenly sounded behind him: "I'm going to chase him." Everyone turned their heads to look, only to see Luo Baiyi come out of the house at some point, standing behind everyone, and said lightly: "I have the best light skills, day and night, I should be able to catch up with him." It's really not good, I buy a horse in the Tilting Cloud Mansion, and it won't be delayed for long. β
"Brother Luo, you are finally willing to come out. Rao Mengli stepped forward happily, Luo Baiyi glanced at her, and the cold eyes silently stopped Rao Mengli's footsteps, Luo Baiyi had never looked at Rao Mengli like this, which made her feel cold. Everyone thought about it, the method Luo Baiyi said may be the only feasible at present, with Luo Baiyi's light skills, he can't take the official road if he takes a shortcut, maybe he can intercept Dao Xueke before he reaches Tanglin Mansion.
Liu Yuanjun said: "So far, it has to be like this. Baiyi, you remember, Ah Xue rode a horse to go to Tanglin Mansion and needed to take the avenue, out of the clouds, down the remote leaves, through the dyed maple forest, take the bridge mountain, to Linghua Road, on the official road is the road straight forward. You have to go out of Mengyao Mountain, cross the cold pine forest, take the southeast path of Tengyun Mountain, take the first step to reach Linghua Road, stop Ah Xue in Linghua Mountain, and be sure to bring him back!"
Luo Baiyi smiled slightly and said, "Got it." He waved his hand to say goodbye to everyone, and then walked out of the door, and everyone watched him leave, but Luo Baiyi suddenly turned his head and said: "I won't chase him back, I will accompany him to Tanglin!"
Everyone was shocked when they heard this, but Luo Baiyi had already walked away, and with his light skills, no one could stop him if he wanted to leave. Chu Qing'an was in a hurry to go to the top of the mountains in southern Xinjiang again, and he couldn't go to Tanglin again for a while, Ren Shanhuai and Zhu Qingqiu looked at each other and said, "It's better for me to go." β
"But Ying Wujian must be sending people to hunt down Ren Gongzi and Sister Zhu at this time, if you go back to Tanglin at this time, won't you fall into the net?" Rao Mengli said worriedly.
Zhu Qingqiu smiled, his eyes stared at Ren Shanhuai's eyes, the two smiled heartily, and said indifferently: "It just so happens that we also have some things to do with Ying Wuji, and besides, Shanhuai will accompany me, so it won't be in the way." Seeing that the two of them were so sweet, Rao Mengli couldn't help laughing, but there was a bit of loneliness hidden in that smile, Rao Mengli quickly calmed down and said: "Since that's the case, then I'll stay and take care of Senior Sister Liu." β
Lijiangjiu and Liu Yuanjun looked at Ren Shanhuai and said together: "Be careful on the road." The two nodded slightly, and went down the mountain hand in hand. Only Lijiang Wine, Chu Qing'an, Rao Mengli, and Liu Yuanjun were left, and the already dilapidated grass house was suddenly much quieter, but I didn't expect that so many changes had happened in just a few days here.
Lijiang Jiu cleaned up the yard a little, and then went to the kitchen to decoct medicine for Liu Yuanjun, while Chu Qingan went to help. Liu Yuanjun was still half-lying on the bed and couldn't get out of bed, while Rao Mengli was sitting on the edge of the bed in a quiet daze. Liu Yuanjun looked at Rao Mengli's pretty face, but there were three more hideous scratches, and he couldn't help but tremble, and asked softly, "Are you thinking about something?"
When Rao Mengli heard this, she was slightly stunned, and when she reacted, she pretended to be calm, shook her head with a strong smile and said, "No, Senior Sister Liu doesn't have to worry about me." β
"Are you thinking about the scars on your face? It must be painful. Liu Yuanjun also felt a little sorry, obviously a very cute child, with these three scars on his face, which made people feel creepy, and since last night, Rao Mengli's words have been much less, and Liu Yuanjun couldn't help but sigh.
But Rao Mengli didn't seem to care, he gently swept the three scars with his fingers, and the rough feel on the slippery skin spread to his heart through his fingertips, Rao Mengli's smile was a little more bitter: "It's okay, I didn't care too much." After all, if you cover it with a mask, you can't see it. Liu Yuanjun then remembered that the golden silk half-face mask that Rao Mengli wore on weekdays was just enough to cover the three scars, and outsiders couldn't see them.
"Are you thinking about your father, or are you worried about Ah Xue's safety?" Liu Yuanjun asked cautiously, she didn't mean to reveal Rao Mengli's scars, but hoped to take this opportunity to open Rao Mengli's heart knot, so that she would not be immersed in grief forever and forget her original appearance. When Liu Yuanjun knew that the monster who fought yesterday was the famous Yin and Yang Heart-Eating Palm Xiao Bieling on the rivers and lakes, and he was also one of the eight black-clothed people who broke into the Kexue Mountain Villa ten years ago, and it was more likely to be the hall master of the Ten Ghost Hall, Rao Mengli and Luo Baiyi's father Xiao Wuxian, she was also shocked. Although it has not been confirmed, Liu Yuanjun also believes it a little.
Liu Yuanjun also knew that once it was confirmed that Xiao Bieli was Xiao Wuxian, whether it was Rao Mengli, Luo Baiyi, or Dao Xueke, it was a great blow, it seemed that Dao Xueke and Luo Baiyi insisted on going to Tanglin Mansion to find out, and it was mostly due to this matter.
"My father taught me the art of transfiguration, just like my own father, kind and strict. But he never wanted me to be involved in the rivers and lakes, if it weren't for Brother Luo and Brother Xue to protect me every step of the way, I'm afraid my father wouldn't have released me from the Ten Ghost Hall. He often sat alone and often told me that the rivers and lakes are chaotic, the world is impermanent, and people's hearts are sinister. Now that I think about it, it really makes some sense. Rao Mengli said with a wry smile, but her eyes were full of nostalgia for the past.
