Chapter 293: The Mystery of the Holy Maiden (8)

Li Yan was in severe pain all over his body, and his bones rattled, but he didn't know that he had already walked through the Ghost Gate, and if he hadn't been physically strong, he would have turned into a dry bone. Of course, his ability to survive has a lot to do with willpower. At this time, only listening to the woman's exclamation, the maid ran over from a distance when she saw Li Remnant moving, and said in surprise: "Are you better?" Li Remnant didn't even have the strength to nod, so he could only smile reluctantly. The blind saint also groped her way up, took his hand and said something. But Li Yan's eyes were dark again, and he fainted again. It turned out that this was not a hallucination of Li Yan, but a real oasis. The two women had been dragged away by Li Remnant, and they drank water, so they recovered quickly. But Li Yan had a high fever and kept hovering on the edge of life and death. When he opened his eyes, it was the third day. Fortunately, the oasis is quite rich in products, and there is a large lake that is very deep, so eating and drinking are not a problem. The maid was ingenious, and made her own fishing nets and traps to hunt, and she actually gained a lot of money. The two women took good care of Li Zhan, and after another three or five days, Li Zhan felt a stream of true qi circulate in his body again, and he was almost cured. The three of them recalled the previous scene in the desert, and they couldn't help but be afraid and surprised. At that time, as long as Li Yan's spirit was slightly relaxed, they would die immediately. In this way, Li Yan is equivalent to saving two women again. I only heard the blind saint murmur: "Li Daxia, it is the great grace that does not say thank you." If there is a place for a little girl in the future, please speak up. Li Yan and these two people also had a fateful friendship, so there was nothing to shy away from, so he said: "Girl, I want to ask you about someone." Hearing his solemn tone, the saint nodded vigorously. The maid was very obedient, and when she saw that the two were about to talk about secrets, she stood up and said, "You talk first, and I'll go and collect some firewood." Li Yan did not treat her as an outsider, and when the maid had not gone far, she said to the holy woman: "Girl, let me ask you, is your name called 'Lili'?" The holy woman was stunned for a moment, and then was surprised: "How does Engong know my name......? I've never told anyone about it. Li Yan didn't answer, and continued to ask: "Do you have a person named Lu Heng?" After he finished asking the first question, his heart was full of hope. Although there are many people with the same name in the world, but with a series of clues, it is almost impossible for this separation to be someone else. At this moment, as long as she nodded, the stone in Li Yan's heart would fall to the ground. But who knew that the saint said blankly: "Lu Heng? This time it was Li Yan's turn to be surprised, he never expected that he had gone through a lot of hardships but saved the wrong person. All he felt was darkness in front of him. The saint noticed something, and asked nervously, "What's wrong with Engong?" Over the years, Li Chuan has walked the rivers and lakes and experienced countless conspiracies and deceptions, not to mention that he is as wise as a torch, at least he is also skilled. The look of the blind saint could never have been faked. If she really wasn't leaving, it would be difficult. The ten-year period is approaching, and Li Yan has to face Lu Heng and fight him to the death. This is a situation that none of them want to see. Li Yan stabilized his mind, took a deep breath and said, "Girl, please think about it carefully, you should have known him before you were blind." He's tall, taller than me. She is very beautiful, well-dressed, and uses a long sword......" The saint tilted her head and pondered for a long time, and replied, "Engong, I'm sorry. But I really don't know this man. Li Zan's mind buzzed, and he sighed: "It's over, it's over, it......'s over" The blind-eyed woman could hear that Li Zan's was very frustrated, so she thought for a moment and said: "Engong is above, although he is not talented, he is also willing to share your worries for you." If you can trust me, you might as well tell me what happened, and I'll see if I can come up with a solution. She paused and said, "That girl can help too." We may really be able to crack the big thing in your heart - as the saying goes, three stinkers are the best of Zhuge Liang. Li knew that she couldn't do anything, but he couldn't bear to brush her kindness. Then he said: "It's hard to put into words. All in all, I made an appointment with the person named Lu Heng to compete. If you find the girl who is called Lifu...... Sorry, I mean another detachment. If she can be found, the fight will stop. But if you don't find it, you can only fight. The saint was about to say something, but suddenly she heard a singing. There are no others in the oasis, so it is naturally a maid. It turned out that she was not far from the two of them, and she was only collecting firewood on the side. The holy woman suddenly frowned and said, "So...... Could it be that the Lili is also not successful in the desert?" Li Yan nodded helplessly: "I got reliable news that the girl was also taken away by the Huns, so I went deep into the desert to look for it." I thought you were her, but I didn't expect to recognize the wrong person. The holy woman asked, "Is Engong looking for that Lili just to be able to avoid the war?" Li Yan nodded helplessly. At this time, the maid was still humming, but the tune changed from a tense Xiongnu folk song to a familiar song for the Han people, and the rhythm was obviously much soothed. I don't know if it's because of the music, the saint's face softened. She said, "Don't worry. Please let the little girl say a few words. Not...... Haven't asked for your honorific name yet?" Li Zan's then remembered that the three of them had been together until now but had not introduced each other, which was enough, so he clenched his fist with one hand and said, "My name is Li Zan." The holy maiden's lips opened lightly, and she was about to speak, but she heard a commotion behind her. The two turned around at the same time, only to see that the maid's face was pale, and she actually threw a large handful of firewood she had just picked up on the ground. Li Yan stood up and said, "Hey, what's wrong with you?" But the maid seemed to be extremely frightened, and involuntarily took a few steps back. Li Yan was even more puzzled, and asked, "What's wrong?" The maid actually broke out in a cold sweat on her face, and said repeatedly: "It's nothing, it's nothing!" Li Yan didn't know what kind of wind this girl was smoking, so he ignored her, sat down and continued: "What did the girl want to say?" He thought that the holy woman would give advice, and no matter how bad it was, he would have to comfort her. Unexpectedly, the blind saint seemed to change in an instant, and she said to him: "The little woman is not talented, and she is very stupid." For a while, Meng Lang wanted to show off in front of Engong, he was really shameless. I...... I suddenly realized that what I wanted to say was very stupid, if I didn't say it, I didn't say it...... Li Yansheng was suspicious: "After you two heard my name, it was as if you were a different person, what does it have to do with me?" Li Yan thought about it and couldn't help but sigh. These two girls have been with the Huns for ten years, and must have heard a lot of rumors about themselves. He was sure that in the mouth of the enemy, it was not a good word. He once heard a herdsman say that he likes to eat children, and he swore that he had seen it with his own eyes. However, Li Yan was three steps beside him at that time, but the man turned a blind eye. As for the indiscriminate killing of innocents, the occupation of people's women, and even extravagance and waste, they can only be regarded as ordinary rumors. So under this kind of rendering, none of the Huns did not hate Li Yan. These two little girls have also heard some terrible legends, so they are afraid of themselves, in fact, it is really understandable. So Li Yan sighed and explained: "Actually, ......" Before the words came out, the holy woman waved her hand and said, "Engong doesn't have to explain to the two of us. You're a hero of the world, but we're just girls, so you don't need to be too polite. Li Yan sighed, only feeling that he had sacrificed his life to save them, although he was a little selfish, but mainly out of compassion. Unexpectedly, in their eyes, their various actions are no match for a few rumors, which is really disappointing. But fortunately, Li Ren has tasted the warmth and coldness of human affection, and he is very open to this kind of thing, and he will fade when he thinks about it. So he said, "In that case, I don't have anything to ask." I can't get anyone else to help me with my own business. With that, he packed up his things and moved to the other side of the oasis. Two days later, Li Zhan climbed high and looked into the distance and saw a caravan heading towards the oasis. He couldn't help but rejoice in his heart, pinching his fingers and calculating that the time for the duel was approaching, and it was time to set off. Fortunately, he carried a large amount of silver tickets with him, exchanged a fast horse and a camel with the caravan, and led him into the forest. When the two girls saw him, they looked uneasy, just blindly dodging, and the atmosphere was extremely embarrassing. Li Yan sighed and said, "Two, Li still has urgent matters and has to retire." I have just asked the merchants, after going out of the oasis, you will meet villages and towns fifty miles south, so you should also leave as soon as possible. I'll leave this camel to the two of you as leg strength, and we'll have a meeting later. He didn't look at the two of them, turned over and galloped away. But seeing the billowing sand behind the horse, Li Yan soon walked away. The two women stood still, and after a while, they suddenly heard the maid sigh: "Alas, this is all fate!" The blind saint said gloomily: "Who said it wasn't......? He's actually a good guy. The maid didn't make a sound, but opened a small silver box hidden close to her chest, and kept stroking it, tears rolling down. Inside the box was a handful of animal hair – dog hair, to be exact. It turned out that the blind saint was not called Lili, her real name was Lian'er. She still remembers the beast that fell from the sky in the imperial capital nine years ago, and the Hun soldiers who were more ferocious than the beasts. They swept through like a violent wind, stabbed Lian'er's parents to death with sharp spears and sabers, and swept the eight-year-old girl away. Lian'er cried and shouted, and the Hun soldiers thought she was annoying, so they hit the back of the head with the handle of their knives, and Lian'er fainted. When she woke up again, she was tied to her horse like a piece of luggage, and several Hun soldiers next to her roasted fires, ate meat, and talked about something. Coincidentally, Lian'er's father was a merchant and knew the Xiongnu dialect and taught her, so she could probably understand what these people said. One of them said, "Damn, everyone else has gone back to the tribe to enjoy the blessings, why can't we go back to our home, and we still have to escort this piggy child?" Lian'er knew that "pigs" was a contemptuous term for the Han Chinese, and the errand of these people seemed to be escorting themselves. She wondered why she was an ordinary child who was so valued by the Huns. Not to mention herself, even the Huns also expressed doubts. I saw that the leader cleared his throat and said mysteriously: "You guys, it's really mud that can't support the wall." I don't even know that I'm being reused. The rest of the people exclaimed, excited and surprised, and half-convinced: "Is what the chief said true?" "Is that still false?" said the leader slowly. He gnawed hard, then looked at Ah Lian and said, "Do you know who that kid is?" Everyone shook their heads, their faces looking extremely simple in the light of the fire. The chief lowered his voice: "Let me tell you, she is a servant maid, and she is dedicated to a holy woman as a maid." Several people looked at each other, and one of them hesitated and asked, "Big brother, so what? How can we be elevated by betting on a slave?"

It is greedy by nature and eats everything. No matter what flies in the sky and swims in the water, there is no escape from its huge mouth. In the distant years of the flood and famine, all living creatures were eaten.

But its greed was still not satisfied, and it turned around and filled its mouth with grass, soil, and even mountains and rivers.

The land is desolate. The gluttony suddenly raised his head and grinned at the sun hanging high in the blue sky. The clumsy body actually soared into the air and flew next to the sun.

It opened its bloody jaw, revealing its charred fangs and gnawing at it, and the light faded.

gluttony concocted like this, turning the stars and moon into their own food. As they faded out, there was nothing left in the universe, and there was finally nothing left to eat.

But it's still so hungry, so greedy. It frantically searched the empty universe, even though there was nothing left here.

No, who said there was nothing left?" said the gluttonous laugh.

Isn't there still a "me"?

It grabbed its tail and chewed violently, and in an instant blood flowed everywhere, and its teeth clung to the bones and creaked. The gluttonous body became shorter and shorter, and finally disappeared.

Gluttony eats himself too.

Is it really dead?" the girl asked

The old man didn't answer, just shook his head worriedly.

"Boss, what's the mountain goods?"

The middle-aged man lifted the curtain and greeted him familiarly.

The store was cold and damp, and there was a layer of fog on the glass door, mixed with dirty dirt, and it couldn't stop looking obscene, covering the QR code for collecting money. The small shop, which is only about ten square meters, has three tables - two round tables and a square table by the door. In the northeast corner, Guan Gong is housed in a small cabinet, and the surrounding walls have been blackened and yellowed. A little next to it is a dark red menu with only a few lines.

This is supposed to be a common snack shop in the south, but it has a hidden mystery. There was a faint stench in the air, and even the heavy smell of smoke could not hide it. There are also a few thin screams from the back kitchen from time to time, making the shop look like a murder scene in a film and television drama. The visitor didn't care, he had been here many times, and he was already a regular customer.
