Chapter Seventy-One: A Strange Treasure or a Curse?

Mercy and I fled to a fishing village by the Jishui River.

We lived incognito, like an ordinary couple, and lived an ordinary life.

However, only I know that this ordinary day is actually turbulent.

I'm still a swordsman.

My discarded right hand was miraculously healed by mercy.

I finally understood why so many people would go crazy to chase after me.

There is indeed a treasure in the body of mercy.

One night, in the light of the candles, I finally saw this strange treasure.

The treasure is ugly.

Even disgusting.

It's a bug.

The bugs are the size of fingers, look like fat caterpillars, and have a gray and lifeless appearance.

He took the worm out of a bamboo tube that he carried close to me, and put the worm on the wound on my right shoulder.

Although I roamed the rivers and lakes and laughed at the enmity, such a small insect really made me tremble.

So, as soon as the worm came to my shoulder, my whole body shook like chaff.

Compassion pursed his lips and smiled, and comforted: "Aren't you a self-proclaimed swordsman, not afraid of life and death? Don't be afraid, it's just a little painful." ”

I know mercy never lies. But it's a bit painful, and it's too much of an understatement.

It's really painful!

As soon as the lifeless worm saw the flesh, it immediately writhed its disgusting fat body as if it had been beaten with chicken blood, and actually followed my wounds and burrowed into the flesh.

The wound on my shoulder hurt my meridians. The insects that were killed this day were along the skin and flesh, and gradually ate my necrotic meridians.

After seven days of pain, like a skin cramp, I finally picked the skin of my right hand and took out the fat worm that had turned dark red.

The worm gained a lot of weight, and crawled back to sleep in the bamboo tube contentedly.

And I, on the other hand, was poured all kinds of bitter decoctions by compassion for another month. Finally, my right hand is free to hold the sword again.

The sky will not die, I have no worries about the sword!

I drank with joy and compassion for three days, celebrating my two swords.

But the so-called joy begets sorrow.

When I woke up from my drunkenness, I was gone.

I've never been so panicked.

Even if my hands are wasted, I don't think life will be bleak. I can't be a swordsman, I can be an ordinary couple with Mercy and watch the spring flowers and autumn fall. Is the end of the world a home?

But if there is no compassion, where will I go? I am alone and alone in heaven and earth, what joy is there in life, and what is the sorrow in death?

So, I went crazy and searched everywhere for mercy.

Finally, I found mercy on a small island in the Jishui River.

I hugged her and cried and begged her not to leave me.

However, her tone was resolute.

She told me that her father, in his early years, accidentally got a mysterious bug called Saprophytes. This saprophyte specializes in devouring decaying and necrotic meridians. At the same time, it can regenerate the meridians, so it is a healing treasure. Mercy's father was a quack. Ever since he got saprophytes, he suddenly became famous in the rivers and lakes. The people who came to him for medical advice almost broke through the door. However, the strange treasure brought to the family of mercy, in addition to fame and wealth, there were also nightmares. There are constantly greedy people who come to steal the saprophytes. Finally, not long ago, Mercy's father died at the hands of several masters. Before he died, the father of mercy entrusted mercy to his friend, Meng Chengyu, the head of the five-dart game, hoping that Meng Chengyu could take compassion away from the place of right and wrong, live in seclusion in the countryside, and live a safe life. Unbeknownst to him, Meng Chengyu finally lost his life.

With compassion, we know that as long as we carry this saprophylaxis, there will be endless calamities.

Therefore, she hopes that I will not follow in the footsteps of her father and Meng Chengyu.

It's better to stop here and settle the destiny of each one.

Naturally, I rejected her offer in one fell swoop.

Some people spend their lives in mediocrity, and they can't get what they want in their hearts, only a sigh. Some people are vigorous and loved, short but without regrets.

As long as I am with mercy, I will face it calmly.

So, I hugged my head and cried, and made a vow that I would never leave in life and never give up.

The year that followed was the happiest of my life.

In the fishing village, we weaved nets, fished, and gossiped around the fire.

It wasn't until a year later that the nightmare finally found us again.

It was spring again, and I went to a nearby hill called Jilu to enjoy the spring flowers.

The mountains are full of wildflowers, although they are not precious species, but they bloom enthusiastically.

I talked and laughed with Compassion and picked a large handful of wildflowers.

We walked into the small teahouse at the foot of the mountain, where there was Compassion's favorite oil tea. The milky white rice cereal is sprinkled with some crispy fried dumplings, which is really delicious.

The hot oil tea was served, and the crisp crunch of chewing fried dumplings immediately sounded.

While I reveled in the rattle, I was suspicious.

The rattle is so clear today.

On weekdays, the teahouse is full of people, noisy, and warm. When have you ever heard such a clear rattle?

That's when I realized the crux of the matter. Today's teahouse is too quiet.

Although it was full of people, it was eerily quiet.

I looked around. These people are all tight-eyed, and there is not a single familiar face. Most of these people are in long shirts and leggings, and they obviously have kung fu on their bodies.

Sweat was oozing from my palms.

Once upon a time, even if someone put a knife on my neck, I wouldn't blink my eyes. But now I've learned to be afraid. Because I have a concern in my heart. I'm afraid of losing my compassion.

I quietly took mercy's hand, winked at her, and glanced in the direction of the door.

Compassion's expression also became nervous.

I stood up abruptly and flipped the table towards the crowd on one side. The hot oil tea splashed on several people, and there was a scream.

I grabbed the mercy and turned around and walked out the door.

The dozens of people sitting in the teahouse stood up suddenly, drew their weapons one after another, rushed up, and chased after the door.

Min and I ran all the way to the Jilu Mountain. The jungle helps us keep our pursuers out of our pursuers.

But Jilu Mountain was so small that the dozens of people scattered and soon surrounded us near the top of the mountain from different directions.

The Wuwu Sword was pulled out by me with a thud and held in my hand. I held mercy behind me and stared coldly at the dozens of people around me.

These people are obviously not people of the same religion. They were gloomy and calm, and they didn't say much, and they came at me with their heads bored.

I wielded the sword of no worries and swam around the mercy. There are a lot of people, but I can handle it.

Although these people have different weapons, they have the same number of paths, and they may be from the same sect. My Wushou sword is light and nimble, and in a few rounds, it has already unloaded more than a dozen people.

But I soon discovered that one of these people was a long-bearded man who made a meteor hammer, and he was a tough guy to deal with. With a single blow from his meteor hammer, he can smash huge rocks to pieces. In addition to brute strength, the meteor hammer also makes it quite flexible. His strength is on par with mine.

The battle gradually turned into a head-to-head duel between me and him.

The hammer was so fast that it almost grazed my ear. I swayed sideways and dodged. I turned around, grabbed the chain of the Meteor Hammer with my hand, pulled hard, took two or three steps forward, and pointed the sword straight at the door of the long-bearded man.

The bearded man took a few steps back, and with a wave of his hand, another meteor hammer shot out at me.

I blocked it with my sword, and the meteor hammer deviated from the direction and went in the direction of mercy.

I was shocked and panicked. I withdrew my sword and galloped in the direction of mercy.

Although my kung fu is not first-class, this foot strength is very trustworthy. In the blink of an eye, I ran to the side of mercy. I grabbed her and dodged to the side, avoiding the Meteor Hammer. But the meteor hammer scratched my back, and it hurt so badly.

In the blink of an eye, another hammer struck, and I hurriedly blocked it with my Wuxian sword. Unexpectedly, the meteor hammer slashed across the tip of the sword, but the iron chain was wrapped around the Wushou sword several times.

The long-bearded man pulled hard, and the sword flew out of my hand.

I'm in a hurry, take a few steps forward, and I'm about to recapture the Sword of No Worries. At this moment, a hammer struck me in the chest.

I felt like my chest was shattering. I couldn't even breathe in pain, so I had to fall to the ground and gasp for breath.

In a panic, he ran to me, took my hand and cried bitterly.

The people around him gathered around and smiled smugly. It's as if I and Compassion are just their prey.

Compassion stood in front of me and said loudly, "You just want saprophytes, and I'll give it to you." Just let us live. ”

The long-bearded man seemed to be the leader of the group. He stared at Mercy with pity, and suddenly asked, "Do you know who we are?"

The tears of compassion were full of tears, but he said without humility or arrogance: "Most of your weapons are short. The number of kung fu roads is mainly tricky and ruthless. It should be Shuozhou Qingyi Gate. Since you are a decent family, you will never kill innocents indiscriminately. ”

The long-bearded man's expression froze, and he said a little unnaturally: "The girl is so knowledgeable." He paused, and then continued in a gloomy voice: "Since you have recognized us, how can I give you another way to live?

After that, the long-bearded man laughed unscrupulously.

My heart sank. These so-called famous and decent families, when they do bad things, they are really more resolute than the crooked ways of evil families.

The long-bearded man approached the mercy, stretched out his hand, and said coldly, "What about the saprophytes? I can make the death of the two of you less painful. ”

Compassion's body shook, and he slowly took out the bamboo tube he was carrying.

Just as she handed the bamboo tube out, a meteor hammer suddenly flew out of the long-bearded man's face.

It was I who did my best to throw the meteor hammer that landed beside me.

The long-bearded man let out a long howl, and immediately covered his eyes with his hands, rolling on the ground in pain.

The others panicked and gathered around the long-bearded man.

I struggled to my feet, pulled me up, and took advantage of the chaos to escape.

I staggered all the way, and with the help of mercy, I ran towards the back mountain.

Min Zhi was very panicked, her whole body trembled, and she asked in a low voice as she ran, "Brother Mo, where are we going?"

I took her hand and replied with difficulty, "There is a small lake in this Jilu Mountain, and we will hide there." ”

"No, you can't. Compassion suddenly screamed: "That small lake is called Hantan by the locals. The water is so cold that you should never go into the water. Those who enter the water are left with disabilities at least and at worst have life-threatening fears. ”

I smiled at the mercy: "Because of this, they would never have dreamed that we were hiding in the lake. ”
