Chapter 289: The Mystery of the Holy Maiden (4)
Li Yan thought for a while and replied: "In this way, if you give me the chips, you can leave safely with your own people, and I won't trouble you."
Sando was stunned for a moment, thinking that he had misheard, and asked again what did you say, "If you give me the chips, I won't trouble you."
Now everyone heard it clearly. Not only Sando, but everyone present laughed. Li Yan also grinned and laughed heartlessly with them.
Sando smiled back and forth, he wiped his tears and said: Could this person be wrong? However, before the words fell, he felt a cool breeze pass in front of his eyes, and the chip in his hand suddenly disappeared, and he didn't know how it got into Li Yan's hand.
Sando's eyebrows were raised, the flesh on his face jumped a few times, and he waved his hand without saying a word.
The hundreds of people immediately stopped laughing and silently surrounded Li Yan in the center. Li Yan couldn't help but sigh: This is what you brought on yourself, don't blame me.
He said that. And he suddenly disappeared in front of everyone. People didn't expect this kid to actually use spells.
Sando was in a state of panic when he suddenly felt a heavy blow on his face, and he opened his mouth and vomited out a mouthful of blood, along with which seven or eight teeth fell.
All of a sudden, I could only hear the screams, one after another, and those big men were either sitting on the ground covering their legs, or rolling on the ground with their arms, as if they had fallen into some evil spell.
A moment later, there was an afterimage of the sword, and Li Yan appeared again. Only this time everyone else was lying down, only he was still standing.
Li Yan walked up to Sando and bent down and asked him: How did you take it? Sando didn't even dare to look at him, just covered his mouth and hummed indistinctly, and nodded like pounding garlic.
Li Remnant said, you should leave here with your people immediately, and you will not stop for a moment, if I find out, I will give you another good beating.
The group didn't care about the pain, and crawled out of the forest with their hands and feet. Li Yan turned around and said to the holy woman: I got the chips.
But what I want to ask is: Will the saint agree with such an opportunity to be snatched by violence? The blind saint still had a blank face, and the black-clothed guard on the side said indifferently: No matter what method is used, the saint will approve, this is our rule.
Li Remnant's heart became more and more resentful, if it weren't for the fact that this person was really the girl he was looking for, wouldn't he be disappointed?
However, an agreement is an agreement, Li Yan pressed and pressed a breath in his chest, and finally said in a tone as soft as possible: Then please listen to my troubles.
The black-clothed guard stepped forward and was about to take Li Yan away, when he suddenly heard a miserable cry outside: Son, my son!
The voice was so grief-stricken that it was impossible for anyone to be indifferent when they heard it, but when she saw that the blind saint also trembled, she seemed to be greatly shaken.
Li Yan knew that this person was an old woman who had lost her daughter, but he didn't expect her to come here after groping all the way.
However, the black-clothed guard's gaze didn't even look at the old woman, he still said coldly to Li Yan: Let's go.
Li Yan looked back at the old woman, looked at the guard's face again, and suddenly said loudly: I won't go, I will give the old lady the fund.
The guard looked at him with strange eyes and asked, "What do you mean?" Li Yan nodded: You heard me right.
I'm going to let this old lady go first. A wrinkle suddenly swelled up on the black-clothed guard's smooth slate-like face, and he said to Li Yan, do you know what this means?
Li Yan shook his head. Each person only gets one chance to get a chip, and if you give her the chip, you will never be entitled to meet the saint in this way.
Li Yandao: No matter what, I am willing to let this old lady go first. The guard's face returned to his former indifference, and he said in a calm tone: Well, what to do is your freedom.
Finally, the helpless old man was led into the depths of the oasis by the guards. Li Yan looked at her back and sighed, not knowing if he would find out about his daughter's whereabouts.
But even if he didn't, he could at least find a little comfort. Thinking of this, a trace of relief swelled up in Li Yan's heart.
He found a poplar tree and sat down, closing his eyes as he pondered how he could talk to the saint again.
But it didn't matter if he closed his eyes, sleepiness swelled up, and Li Yan actually fell asleep groggily. When he opened his eyes, it was already a starry night.
Li Yan smiled bitterly and rubbed his eyes, but suddenly heard a low voice calling: Hey, are you awake?
Li Yan looked at it, and it turned out to be a sixteen or seventeen-year-old little maid, waving to him with this lantern.
Li Yan looked at no one on the left and right, pointed to the tip of his nose and said: Do you say me? Nonsense, who else but you?
The maid pouted. Listen to me, I am the personal servant of the blind saint, my master wants to see you, don't be silent, come with me.
Li Yan's heart froze, and his sleepiness was suddenly swept away. He looked at the servant girl suspiciously, how do I know if you lied to me?
The servant girl snorted impatiently: What good is it for me to lie to you, do you have candy to eat?
He said that he would light up the lantern and turn around to leave. Li Yanyi grabbed her sleeve: Wait. Don't think about leaving until you say it clearly.
The maidservant had long heard that Li Yan was fighting against a hundred people during the day, and she couldn't help but be a little afraid in her heart. When he softened his tone and said: This uncle, I am just a little maid who serves people, I will do whatever the master tells me to do, and I don't know anything else, you must not embarrass me.
Wealth management has not arrived for a week. Why won't your master see me during the day, but wait until night? Could it be that there is something that can't be done?
The maid hurriedly shook her head: I ...... I do not know. Li Yan glanced at the maid a few times, and always felt familiar, but he couldn't remember where he had seen it.
Li Yan thought about it, the purpose of coming here was to determine the identity of the blind saintess, this is a godsend, how can there be a reason to miss it?
So he nodded and said: Okay, I won't embarrass you, you lead the way. The maid said: Yes, uncle.
After that, he actually opened the lantern cover and snuffed out the candle flame inside. Li Yan asked, what are you doing here?
The maid looked around vigilantly, and pressed her index finger to her lips: Shh, the wall has ears. At this moment, Li Yan felt more and more that things were not simple, so he didn't ask any more questions, and only followed behind the maid.
The two of them walked for two pillars of incense one after the other, and suddenly saw a dilapidated altar built in an open space, and more than a dozen flags flew up and down around it.
There was a fire burning in the lampstand, and it was blown by the wind. But when she saw the maid looking around, she flattened her mouth and made a few purring calls, like a frightened night bird.
A moment later, a person came to life in the darkness, her face covered with a light veil, it was the blind saintess that Li Zhan had seen during the day.
Unlike before, this person has an extra bamboo cane in his hand. The blind saintess stood still, suddenly lifted her veil, and bowed down to Li Wanyingying.
Li Yan was startled, girl, what do you mean by this? There were no tears in the eyes of the blind saint, but it was not difficult to hear the excitement in her tone.
This uncle, even if the little woman is broken, she can't repay your great kindness. I have only the following prayers to express my gratitude.
Li Yan was even more confused: I obviously didn't do anything, why do you want to thank me? The blind saint raised her face and said, Do you know who the old woman you brought over during the day is?
Li shook his head in confusion. The blind saint said, she is my long-lost mother. Li Yan shook his head: How is it possible?
How can there be such a coincidence in the world? The blind saint said: It is said that the world is unpredictable. Maybe that's fate!
Engong Rongyu: I am not a Xiongnu saint, but a Han woman. I was plundered by the Huns.
Li Yan was shocked in his heart, and his voice became a little trembling: So...... What year did you arrive?The saint smiled bitterly, there are always ten ...... No, it's been more than nine years.
Li Yan gasped and continued to ask: Then where were you taken from?
Monsters came to the city that day, and the Huns took advantage of the opportunity to enter and captured me as a trophy. Financial management thought to himself, it seems that this time and place are right, so there is only one last question left: is she the girl Lu Heng is looking for?
Li Zangang wanted to open his mouth to inquire, but suddenly became puzzled. He had heard Lu Heng say that the girl and the puppy were all known to him in an extralegal place, and the girl's parents were killed by robbers at that time, why did she have a mother at this time?
If you recognize the wrong person, it's better to say, but I'm afraid that it is a trap deliberately set by the enemy, so you have to guard against it.
Li Yan thought of this verse, so he asked tentatively: Aren't your parents dead? The blind saint was shocked: How did you know about me?
It's true that both of my parents are dead. Li Yandao: Then what's going on with this old lady today? You explained it to me clearly.
Before he finished speaking, the little maid on the side suddenly pursed her lips and said dissatisfiedly: Hey, what's the matter with you?
Why are you so fierce? My master has something unspeakable, so why don't I have to explain it to you one by one?
Without waiting for Li Yan to answer, the saint waved her hand at the maid: It's not in the way. He turned to Li Remnant again: Engong, my family originally lived near Huangzhou in the northwest.
But you also know that the children of poor families are cheap and can't afford to live. One year there was a great drought, and one of my older brothers and two older sisters starved to death.
When I was about to breathe, my mother couldn't bear it, so she hardened her heart and picked me up and ran dozens of miles of mountain roads, and gave me to a passing merchant couple on the official road.
The couple had a good heart, and had some food to spare, so they took me. And they treated me as if I were their own daughter.
When I was four years old, my adoptive father and adoptive mother went out of Sichuan, and I happened to meet a place outside the law set up by the imperial court. A gang of robbers came and killed my adoptive parents...... Li Yandao: So, today's old woman ...... The blind saint nodded: Yes, she is my biological mother.
At that time, after the disaster in Huangzhou was over, she wanted to find me back. But the red dust is rolling, isn't it more difficult to find a girl than to find a needle in a haystack?
So she pinned her hopes on the gods and Buddhas, and burned incense and prayed everywhere, hoping to get a little clue about me. But...... You know, it's useless.
I guess she lost her mind in this disappointment and became what she is now...... Alas, my poor mother!
At this point, the blind saint could not help but feel sad and began to sob and cry. There were no tears on her face, but her voice was more uncomfortable than a wail.
Li Yan comforted: But fortunately, she finally found you now...... The blind saint said: Engong, do you know that he is an old lady, delirious and blind, how much suffering must he endure in this desert to come to the depths of the oasis?
I can't stop feeling sick when I think about it. Li Wandao, then you should treat her well, don't let her suffer anymore.
The blind saint suddenly looked sad: Engong, my mother has already gone. Li Yan, who said this, was caught off guard and was stunned on the spot.
The blind saint said: Today our mother and daughter recognize each other. My mother was overjoyed, and she wandered in the desert, but in fact, she had already run out of oil, and it was only with a heart of love for her son that she had survived until now.
When she heard my voice, she fulfilled her lifelong wish and left for the west. Don't be sad, my mother left with a smile, not painful at all, she must have gone to the Western Elysium.
After that, he choked up again. At this time, Li Yan almost completely believed that the blind saint was the girl of the past, and when he was about to say Lu Heng's name, the little maid suddenly screamed, and involuntarily took two steps back.
In the darkness of the night, I saw dozens of black-clad and masked guards, holding steel knives and slowly walking out of the forest. They all showed only one pair of eyes, and their eyes were as fierce as hungry wolves.
The person at the head is the guard who stood beside the blind saint during the day, and said with bad intentions: In the middle of the night, the saint has a private meeting with a man, I'm afraid it's not in accordance with the rules, right?
The blind saint said angrily: What kind of bullshit rules, you didn't set them for me? Now that I have met my mother, my lifelong wish has been fulfilled.
You just want to kill me to reunite with her, so what's there to be afraid of?" the man in black sneered. Since the saint is bent on death, she can't blame me.
The king of the Huns gave us an order back then, and you should know that. At this time, Li Yan, who had not spoken, stepped forward and said: Slow, this girl can't die yet.
I'm going to take him to meet someone. The blind saint asked puzzledly, "Engong, who do you see?"
Li Yan smiled, although he has no relatives, he always has friends. That's someone who is important to you.
The blind saint didn't know what she meant, and she was indeed a little puzzled by her expression. However, Li Yan didn't notice this.
With a single knife at his waist, he shook it against the moonlight and said: You still have time to escape. Don't wait for me to do it, then there will be no regret medicine.
The first leader said with a strange smile, the boy is so big, the number of body paths you use during the day, our brothers can see it clearly.
Although you are powerful, you are nothing more than some ruffians, and you don't have any way to deal with our brothers.
Li Yan smiled: Don't talk big, it's the mule that the horse comes out for a walk. Tips: Enter "Panda Literature" in the search engine, you can find this site, thank you.
