Chapter XVIII
Ming Shuhui was shot and fell to the ground......
Xie Yanran was so frightened that she froze on the spot, and subconsciously supported Ming Shuhui. Ming Shuhui was shot in the back, and the location of the shot was in severe pain, but he still gritted his teeth and insisted on not letting himself pass out. Ming Shuhui looked in the direction where the gun was fired, the gunman had long since disappeared, and the door was empty.
"You...... Why are you so stupid...... Why...... Why do you block bullets for me...... ...... be so good to me" Xie Yanran hugged Ming Shuhui tightly and cried so much that she couldn't cry.
Ming Shuhui fell to the ground, although her back hurt very much, it seemed that the bullet did not penetrate her body, but only injured some flesh.
"Look at my back. Ming Shuhui gritted her teeth and said, "This shot doesn't seem to be very serious. ”
Xie Yanran lifted Ming Shuhui's clothes, and saw that although there was a bloodstain at the location where Ming Shuhui was shot, it seemed that it only injured the epidermis, and then went to check the bullet casing that fell on the ground, and found that this bullet turned out to be an empty cartridge, without a bullet, and the lethality was not great, not to mention that it was shot from the far end of the door, and its power could only make people feel pain, not fatal.
Xie Yanran was pleasantly surprised, she tore off a long strip of Ming Shuhui's beaten coat and bandaged Ming Shuhui to stop the bleeding.
Ming Shuhui sat cross-legged for pranayama, and when she took in a stick of incense, her internal breath worked freely, except for the back was still very painful, but nothing else was serious. Ming Shuhui's right hand gently touched back, the wound was not big, and the bleeding stopped. But after thinking about it a little, I couldn't help but get scared, and I was shocked into a cold sweat.
The position of the shot is impartial, just in the middle of the heart, if it is not for the empty cartridge, Ming Shuhui will definitely die at this time.
Ming Shuhui thought to herself: The direction of this person's shooting should not be a coincidence, if it is a coincidence, it is too coincidental, but if it is not a coincidence, then this person's marksmanship and the accuracy of predicting his position are simply non-human can be completed, it is creepy to think about, but what is the purpose of his use of empty cartridges?
Is it a threat, a warning, or ......
"Do you want to matter?" Xie Yanran still had tears in her eyes, although she saw that Ming Shuhui was in danger, she was still scared in her heart, and she was very distressed.
"It's basically fine, but fortunately, I'm blessed with a great life. Ming Shuhui laughed.
Xie Yanran supported Ming Shuhui, the two slipped out of Yisheng Building, and Xie Yanran went to the pharmacy to buy some medical utensils for Ming Shuhui to re-bandage. After all, Ming Shuhui has the physique to practice martial arts, and most of the day of rest and conditioning has not delayed normal activities.
The two discussed for a while who fired the gun, but they had no clue and had to stop for the time being.
Xie Yanran saw that Ming Shuhui's clothes either had bullet holes and blood stains, or they were cut in the fight
Worn out, I proposed to buy a few clothes.
Both of them had some cash on them, so they went to a nearby clothing store to make purchases. Xie Yanran changed out of the long dress she had been wearing and changed into a light sweatshirt, which made her look more youthful, cute and vibrant, while Ming Shuhui chose a well-fitting purple dress to bring out her tall and strong figure.
"I thought I could find some clues in this Yisheng company, but I didn't expect to find nothing, and I almost took my life. Although Ming Shuhui had just experienced life and death, she could tell it as easily as a joke at this time.
"What else do you say...... It almost scared me to death......" Xie Yanran said angrily.
"Look, I'm fine. Ming Shuhui straightened his chest and signaled that he was fine, but this action touched the wound, and he couldn't help but sigh in pain.
"Stupid, don't move, no matter how serious the wound is, see what you do!" Although Xie Yanran's expression was angry, she went to support Ming Shuhui with her hands.
"Where should we go now?" Ming Shuhui said, his thoughts in his heart were inextricably linked, but now they were all mixed up.
"This place is actually not far from the Tobu Altar, you are from the Sebu Altar, you should have a close relationship with the Tobu Altar, we can go there for help first. Xie Yanran said.
"Do you know the location of the Tobu Altar?" Ming Shuhui was a little surprised, but the girl in front of her can always know many unexpected things, and it is possible to know the Tobu Altar if she thinks about it.
Xie Yanran nodded slowly, and quickly shook her head.
"What do you mean?" Mingshu Huiqi said.
"Even if you know, you may not know......" Xie Yanran said hesitantly.
"What do you mean by that?" Ming Shuhui was even more curious.
"I know the residence of one of the people in the Tobu Altar, because this person is not like the rest of the Martial Arts Forest, he is in charge of some daily affairs in the Tobu Altar, so the outside world is still very easy to find him. But as for the specific location of the Tobu Altar Main Altar, I really don't know. Xie Yanran explained.
"How do you know everything?" this sentence Ming Shuhui wanted to ask for a long time.
“...... This one...... You'll know later. Xie Yanran hesitated.
"Alright then, let's go visit this man first, and he will definitely take me to the main altar. Ming Shuhui was originally an open-minded person, and he didn't doubt Xie Yanran, so he didn't mention it, and then said.
"How can you be so sure? Not everyone can go to the main altar. Xie Yanran asked.
Ming Shuhui briefly told Xie Yanran about the exchange of learning in the Eastern and Western Martial Arts Arenas and her grandfather's finding someone to replace her, and told her that this time she went to the Dongwu Altar to replace the person who replaced her, and she could also ask her uncle Yang Zhongping in person about some details about the robbery of the Xiwu Altar.
The two of them had made up their minds, and they set out east together.
It turned out that the person in Dongwu Altar that Xie Yanran knew was Guan Qinhai.
After walking for a few more days, the two had already determined the location where Guan Qinhai lived, which was not far away, but it was getting late, so the two decided to visit again the next day, so they prepared to find a hotel to stay. Just as the two crossed the road and turned the corner, they suddenly heard the sound of an argument in the alley. The two were curious, it was very late now, there were basically no people on the road, how could there be a sound of dispute in such a remote corner.
If it was before, Ming Shuhui would definitely not be nosy, but after he and Buddha Sheng were together for a while, they were more or less tainted with some habits of fighting grievances in the face of righteousness and courage, so the two quietly walked to the vicinity of the alley and hid in the corner of the side to see what was going on.
I saw an equally gloomy figure standing in the gloomy moonlight, this figure was very short, but it could be vaguely recognized as an old lady, the old lady had flowers on her head, wearing a bright colored robe, her face was furrowed, indescribably weird, and opposite her was a young man, who seemed to be weak and sat on the ground.
"Kill if you want, I can't escape your hand anyway. The young man didn't bother to raise his head, and his body didn't move, but he only muttered, as if he had accepted his fate.
"Then don't blame me!" said the strange old lady, raising her right hand and making a palm, about to slash it down.
Xie Yanran was shocked, and secretly whispered, "Not good!".
Ming Shuhui felt that this old lady was ruthless, this palm was full of strength, if it was firmly split on the young man's head, the young man would definitely die.
Ming Shuhui's legs secretly "crossed the river", if this palm is really split, his own move "iron rope across the river" can be the first to come.
I saw this palm slashed down, Ming Shuhui was not allowed to be released, the qi had been transported to the apex, and the left foot took half a step, at this time, suddenly a gust of wind blew in the alley, this gust of wind was entrained, and Ming Shuhui knew that a master was coming.
A man in gray pointed out and intercepted the old lady's palm, the man in gray seemed to have the same idea as Ming Shuhui, the last to come, and the seemingly leisurely move restrained this fatal blow, which shows that the martial arts are strong.
Seeing that the young man was safe, Ming Shuhui and Xie Yanran both breathed a sigh of relief. The man in gray no longer made a move, he could have injured the old lady, but he didn't embarrass her and let her go, without even asking the reason and the situation.
Xie Yanran took a closer look, showed surprise on her face, and then took Ming Shuhui's hand and quietly wrote three words on his palm-Guan Qinhai.
Ming Shuhui nodded, neither of them expected that in such a situation here and now, they would meet Guan Qinhai.
Listening to the conversation between Guan Qinhai and the young man was even more surprising, the young man called himself "Ming Shuhui", and it turned out to be the person who was going to exchange for Ming Shuhui to the Dongwu Altar.
After Guan Qinhai took the young man away, Ming Shuhui and Xie Yanran's moods were extremely complicated.
"There's something strange about that. Ming Shuhui said.
"I think it's weird too. Xie Yanran agreed with Ming Shuhui's idea.
"Although the people of the lower martial arts act secretively and sometimes need to perform tasks at night, the time and place where Guan Qinhai appeared is too coincidental. Ming Shuhui analyzed.
"And I think Guan Qinhai and that old lady seem to know each other......" Xie Yanran then analyzed.
"Oh?" asked Ming Shuhui, "how do you see that?"
"It's just feeling...... The feeling when they fought ...... "Xie Yanran is very sensitive to martial arts moves, she feels that Guan Qinhai's moves are a little wrong, but she is not very sure, she shook her head lightly and said, "I think let's not rush to find Guan Qinhai first, it is necessary for him to check first." ”
"One more thing. Ming Shuhui continued, "The person who replaced me, why did he come here at the same time as us? He should have come a long time ago, and why is my uncle Yang Zhongping not here?"
"Yes......" Xie Yanran also fell into thought, "I can only ask the young man face to face about this matter." ”
So the two decided not to look for Guan Qinhai for the time being, and went to Guan Qinhai's residence to visit secretly. Xie Yanran didn't know how to work lightly, and it was inconvenient to follow Ming Shuhui, so she could only tell Ming Shuhui the address, and then go to the hotel to wait.
When Ming Shuhui arrived at Guan Qinhai's residence, he saw that the courtyard wall was four or five meters high, but for Ming Shuhui, it was not difficult to climb over. Ming Shuhui turned around at the foot of the wall, found a slightly mottled wall, and then performed the "crossing the river", using both hands and feet, and easily climbed the courtyard wall with a trick of "crossing the river in white".
Ming Shuhui found that this courtyard was not very eye-catching when viewed from the outside, but the layout inside was really very elegant, and every grass, tree, flower and bird was worth playing, and he couldn't help but secretly drink good.
Ming Shuhui shuttled through the courtyard and found a row of houses. Ming Shuhui lowered his body to observe, one of the spacious main rooms must be Guan Qinhai's residence, he didn't dare to be careless, he only observed from a distance, and did not get close easily.
I saw the figure of Guan Qinhai's house flickering, and there seemed to be two people talking inside, and after a while, another person walked in, this person was the old lady who was about to kill the young man just now.
Ming Shuhui flew off the wall and quickly went around to the back of Guan Qinhai's house, and when he reached within ten meters of the house, Ming Shuhui put away his breath, didn't dare to make a sound easily, and found a hidden corner to sit down. Ming Shuhui silently recited the mantra in his mouth, calming himself and concentrating on his ears, and at this time, the conversation in the room was all in his ears.
"Fourth brother, if you let the old man of the altar know about this, have you ever thought about it......" A cold voice asked.
"Third brother, Baihua Niangniang has already done half of it, as the so-called 'one does not do two endlessly', how can you stop it now?" Guan Qinhai asked urgently.
"The subordinates have already discovered three mantras, and there is still one sentence missing, do you want the fourth master to release him first tomorrow, and I will find a chance to ask?" That old lady is Baihua Niangniang, Baihua Niangniang turned out to be Guan Qinhai's subordinate.
"I haven't punished you for doing anything wrong, why did you let that stinky boy run away, and I was forced to play this play with you. Guan Qinhai reproached impatiently.
"My subordinates are guilty, and I didn't expect that the two stupid people guarding that stinky boy would be deceived so easily......" Baihua Niangniang hurriedly explained.
"Don't say it! In the past two days, you have locked up those two guards, asked Ming Shuhui what she had told them, and if there were any clues about the formula, report them immediately. Guan Qinhai interrupted Baihua Niangniang and said.
"Fourth brother, you said that this mantra is so powerful, since that kid named Ming Shuhui knows the mantra, has he learned it?" the cold voice asked.
"He shouldn't know martial arts, I just shook hands with him and checked his pulse, his qi is very chaotic, and he is so weak that he seems to be nothing, I'm afraid he is still seriously injured at this time. Guan Qinhai replied.
"This is strange, Ming Xiaozhao's son actually doesn't know martial arts, Ming Xiaozhao was in the limelight in the martial arts for a while, how could he not teach his son martial arts?"
"This is not clear, maybe Ming Xiaozhao doesn't want his family to get involved in the martial arts dispute anymore, but the rules of the exchange of martial arts can't help him. ”
Hearing this, Ming Shuhui thought of her parents again, and her sadness couldn't help but come to her heart, and her inner breath was also chaotic.
......
There was a sudden silence in the room.
"How did you settle that kid?" the cold voice broke the silence.
"I lit a requiem in his room, and I must have fallen asleep by this time. Guan Qinhai replied.
"So who's eavesdropping?"
Ming Shuhui knew that he was discovered, and hurriedly used light skills to escape, he didn't dare to jump on the eaves, he only ran wildly in the courtyard, fortunately, this location was not far from the courtyard wall. Ming Shuhui climbed over the wall, running to see if anyone was chasing her.
After running for a while, making sure that it was safe, Ming Shuhui breathed a sigh of relief, recalled what he heard just now, and was even more convinced of his guess, this Guan Qinhai seemed to want to know what mantra the young man had, but he didn't completely succeed, and let him run, but the young man's current situation was very dangerous, and he had fallen into Guan Qinhai's palm, and he didn't know it yet.
Ming Shuhui returned to the hotel and told Xie Yanran what happened, Xie Yanran also thought that this matter was not simple, so the two decided that they could not go to Guan Qinhai for the time being, and they would secretly observe every move in the courtyard during this time, and Ming Shuhui also insisted that the safety of the young man must be guaranteed.
For a few days, after Ming Shuhui became familiar with the courtyard, he secretly infiltrated Guan Qinhai's compound in the same way, and observed and protected the young man behind his back, but he found that Guan Qinhai had no intention of harming the young man. This young man also lived in the compound in a leisurely manner, and mingled with Guan Qinhai's apprentice Lin Chengmiao all day long.
And Xie Yanran didn't worry about Ming Shuhui, she was waiting outside the courtyard for the past few days, and Ming Shuhui persuaded her several times to no avail, and then simply asked her to wait outside the door.
On this day, Ming Shuhui still entered the hospital to observe as usual, and found that the young man's whereabouts were secretive, and the young man quietly followed Guan Qinhai's apprentice and walked all the way into the rockery in the garden. Ming Shuhui also followed, "The praying mantis catches the cicada and the yellow finch is behind" to see what secrets are in this yard.
Ming Shuhui jumped to the highest position of the rockery, hiding behind a boulder, which has an excellent viewing angle and will not be noticed.
I saw Lin Chengmiao knocking on the door between the cracks in the stones, entering the tunnel, and after a while, he came out and left, and the young man also learned from Lin Chengmiao to open the tunnel and enter.
Ming Shuhui didn't follow in a hurry, but looked around on the rockery, and suddenly found that Lin Chengmiao was not far away and turned back, trotted all the way back to the stone crevice, he knocked the mechanism again, and entered the tunnel.
This change made Ming Shuhui very worried, this young man's actions should have been discovered, and he was in a very dangerous situation now!
Ming Shuhui turned over and went down, also wanting to enter the tunnel, when suddenly someone patted him on the shoulder, and Ming Shuhui was suddenly startled.
"If you want to go in, take me with you. As soon as Ming Shuhui turned around, she found that it was Xie Yanran who followed in, she didn't know martial arts, Ming Shuhui couldn't feel her anger at all, and was startled by her.
"How did you get in?" asked Ming Shuhui in surprise.
"I ...... I...... I've been wandering around the courtyard for the past few days, and I found that there is a courtyard with a relatively low wall and a place to climb, and it took me a lot of effort to come in......," Xie Yanran bowed her head and said aggrievedly.
Ming Shuhui thought about it, but Xie Yanran was also worried about being alone, so she found a way to follow up, so she waved her hand and motioned for her to follow her quietly.
When the two entered the secret passage, they immediately felt the temperature rising, and when they reached the lowest level, they were already sweating. Ming Shuhui is okay, the physique of a person who practices martial arts is very strong, Xie Yanran is different, she is a girl, her body is weak, she is already dizzy with heat at this time, Ming Shuhui can only support Xie Yanran to continue to move forward.
As they walked, they suddenly heard an angry roar in front of them - "Who's at the door!"
This roar startled the two of them, and a short distance further on, they saw a room with a bright fire. The closer she got to this room, the more stuffy she felt, and Xie Yanran could barely breathe. Ming Shuhui had no choice but to pick up Xie Yanran, speed up her pace, and quickly skipped in front of the room. When Ming Shuhui passed by the door, he glanced in along the hidden door, only to see that there seemed to be a burning stove in the room, and he vaguely saw a figure inside, like a ghost, so frightened that he sped up his pace again.
Ming Shuhui took three steps and made two steps to run forward, although the speed was very fast, and he was carrying a person on his back, but the steps under his feet were light, there was almost no sound, and he came to the end of this corridor with a cup of tea.
At the end is a large door, the lock is exquisite, but it is not locked, but it is hidden, Ming Shuhui put Xie Yanran down, peeked sideways into the door, and the things in the hall were clear at a glance.
"I may have to go in and save people in a while......" Ming Shuhui turned around and whispered to Xie Yanran, "No matter what happens, don't come out, if there is danger, you go back the way you came and escape." ”
Xie Yanran looked at Ming Shuhui with tears in her eyes, her eyes were hesitant and full of worry, but she still nodded lightly.
At this time, there was a sudden change in the door, and Ming Shuhui didn't have time to think about it, so he rushed in like a thunderbolt......
