Chapter 126: Handshake

Ling Chunni half-knelt on the ground and retched for a long time, only then did he gradually ease up, but it looked like there was no blood on his face, and the white was a little scary. She was in a daze for a moment, suddenly remembered something, and quickly glanced back, only to see that Shen Shi had been leaning against the wall since just now, looking a little weakly standing, his face was very ugly, as if he was about to fall down in the next moment.

Ling Chunni was taken aback, quickly stood up, just took a step and saw a large area of blood on his body, frowned, and then quickly ran back to the dilapidated house again, and quickly changed his clothes, otherwise he walked out so bloodstained, I was afraid that someone would know what happened here in a while.

When she went out for the second time and walked quickly to Shen Shi's side, the bloodstained clothes on her body had been changed, and her face had been tidied up a little, although her hair and temples were still a little messy, but the most important bloodstains had been erased, and it seemed that she could barely go out to meet people.

Shen Shi stared at the woman who suddenly became silent, walked quickly to his side, and then grabbed his arm without saying a word, and the two of them leaned on each other and walked towards the outside of the alley, leaving behind only a miserable scene of mess and terrible blood.

It didn't take long for the two of them to leave the alley, and when the bright light fell on them, the bustling street was bustling with people, and no one seemed to notice the two of them.

Ling Chunni gritted his teeth, supported Shen Shi's body and lowered his head to the side, Shen Shi only felt that his eyelids were getting heavier and heavier, and his sleepiness surged up for a while, and he felt that he couldn't support it, so he had to whisper: "Quickly find a secluded place where no one can rest." ”

Ling Chunni glanced up at him, only to see Shen Shi's face was ugly and frightening, and couldn't help but be startled, in a panic, she raised her eyes to look around, she was originally just a humble little person like an ant in this huge Liuyun City, struggling to survive, the only thing that could be regarded as a home was the little broken house of the godmother in that alley, as for the house where she lived temporarily, but it was also rented by someone else for her, and now it is naturally impossible to go again.

In a hurry, she suddenly saw a very grand inn on the side of the street in front of her, with four big characters written on the signboard: Ansan Inn.

Ling Chunni took a deep breath, gritted his teeth and made a decision, and then helped Shen Shi to walk towards the inn, Shen Shi looked up a little tiredly, a trace of hesitation flashed in his eyes, but in the end he didn't say anything.

The two of them entered the inn, and someone had already greeted them, but Shen Shi and Ling Chunni were a little abnormal at the moment, and the shopkeeper who came to receive them was talking politely while constantly looking at them with his eyes.

Ling Chunni opened his mouth and said, "We want to stay in the hotel and open a clean room." Then looking at the shopkeeper, although he nodded in agreement, but there seemed to be a little doubt in his eyes, Ling Chunni hesitated for a moment and said in a low voice, "I...... Xianggong went out of the city to collect medicine, encountered a fierce battle with demon beasts on the road, was injured a little, and needed to recuperate. ”

The shopkeeper said "oh", his face suddenly calmed down, this Liuyun City is a big city of cultivation, monks gather, there are many monks who come and go every day, and it is not uncommon to be injured in the wild and return to the city to recuperate, and at the moment the suspicion is gone, so he arranged a room on the second floor of the inn and instructed the guys below to bring Ling Chunni and Shen Shi over.

When they got upstairs, after the guy brought them to, they quickly said goodbye and retired, as soon as Ling Chunni closed the door, he heard a grunt behind him, but Shen Shi couldn't support it anymore and fell to the ground directly.

Ling Chunni was taken aback, thinking that something had happened to him, and he lost his face for a while, and hurriedly ran over to help him, but when he saw Shen Shi's eyes closed, he didn't know anything for a while. Ling Chunni was even more anxious in his heart, and hurriedly checked Shen Shi's body, but after checking his body, there seemed to be no particularly serious injuries, and looking back at Shen Shi, Ling Chunni found that although the man fainted, his breathing was quite calm and gentle, and he didn't seem to be particularly critical.

Ling Chunni felt a little relieved, and let out a sigh of relief, but of course Shen Shi fell to the ground at the moment, she glanced at the situation in the house, and saw that there was a bed against the wall in the house, and a window was not far away, so she bent down and helped Shen Shi with some difficulty, and slowly moved him to the bed.

Speaking of which, Ling Chunni can be regarded as a monk, but her casual cultivation realm is very low, and now she is only in the Qi refining realm, and the method she cultivates is also very strange, it is a strange technique that she has comprehended from half of the "Dream Tan Diagram". This kind of exercise, including the Dream Diagram, was unintentionally obtained by her godmother many years ago, and it was passed on to her in the future.

It's just that this nameless exercise, Ling Chunni privately called it Mengtan Technique, it is indeed very weird, after cultivation, it does not temper and enhance the monk's body like most cultivation methods, the effect may be a little, but it is not obvious, the most significant use is to make the appearance and figure of the woman after cultivation gradually charming and beautiful, and there is a strange feeling of natural charm.

But at the beginning of the cultivation, neither of them nor the mother and daughter found anything abnormal, and they only thought that this was just one of the thousands of strange cultivation exercises in the world.

However, a few years later, Ling Chunni's godmother suddenly had an abnormality, and a woman who was originally soft and beautiful was quickly sucked away from all her anger in just a few days, and turned into an old woman like a skeleton. Only then did they realize that this technique might be an extremely evil and strange exercise, and that the effect of making the face beautiful was actually at the cost of overdrawing the anger in the future.

Under such circumstances, Ling Chunni naturally didn't dare to continue cultivating, after all, the lessons of the godmother's past were there, but for some reason, even if she had stopped practicing, her body and face were still charming and beautiful day after day, but other than that, her body did not gain too much strength like most monks.

This is also the reason why she has almost no resistance in the face of stronger monks, because in fact, her own strength is almost no different from that of mortals, so even if she moves Shen Shi's body at this moment, she will feel a little difficult.

But in the end, she still gritted her teeth and moved Shen Shi to the bed little by little, and then she was already sweating profusely and gasped for a moment, first lifted the quilt to cover Shen Shi, and then went out to get a basin of water, moistened it with a towel and wrung it out, sat on the edge of the bed, and gently wiped it for Shen Shi.

The young man's face was breathing quietly, and the blood stains and filth that had been stained were all cleaned up by Ling Chunni.

She carefully and carefully wiped it, her gaze gradually softened, and at some point, the world outside the house seemed to have been separated far away, leaving her alone, and the quiet sleeping man in front of her.

The sky flows, the noise rises and falls, watching the sun rise, watching the light and shadow move, from early morning to dusk, from evening to late night, there are stars, moons and breezes, blowing the ends of whose hair, sweeping between whose eyebrows?

It's like a dream.

Drunk but unwilling to wake up.

So keep my eyes open and keep staring.

So can't help but shake your hand.

There is a touch of warmth.

It's cold overnight, who cares?

Until dawn, tenderness remains.

※※※

When the morning light fell on Shen Shi's face under the hanging tent through the window, his body moved slightly, as if he had a long and peaceful dream, slowly woke up and opened his eyes.

"Ah, are you awake?" a soft, joyful voice came from the side.

Shen Shi turned his head to look and saw Ling Chunni sitting on the edge of the bed, looking at himself, his eyes full of joy.

He smiled, remembering the battle in that alley and the inn, and looked around, Shen Shi quickly confirmed that this should be a room in that inn. He breathed a sigh of relief, braced his arms and tried to sit up, while asking, "How long have I been asleep...... Huh?"

Halfway through his words, he was suddenly stunned, and found that his right hand was held together with Ling Chunni's soft and white hand, Ling Chunni was also startled, as if he had just discovered, his cheeks suddenly turned red, and he hurriedly withdrew his hand at once, and then lowered his head and said softly:

"You're unconscious...... Well, it's been a day and a night's sleep. ”

Shen Shi was taken aback, but he didn't expect that he would fall asleep for so long after being tired, and after a moment of silence, he quickly noticed the slight tiredness on Ling Chunni's face, and said in amazement, "Have you not slept all night?"

Ling Chunni smiled, shook his head, and said, "It's okay, I'm not sleepy." ”

Shen Shi was silent, looked at his body again, and found that his coat had been taken off under the futon and was neatly placed on the hanger on the side, and several personal items, including the Ruyi bag on his waist, had no traces of moving. The places on his body that should have had some dirty blood stains because of that battle were also clean and refreshing at this time, obviously because Ling Chunni took careful care of him when he was in a coma.

In Shen Shi's memory, even when he was young in the past, he didn't seem to have had such an experience, and there was a faint strange feeling in his heart, he turned his head to Ling Chunni and hesitated for a moment, and said, "Thank you." ”

Ling Chunni shook his head and said, "It's nothing, if you really want to thank you, you saved me yesterday, I can't repay you too much." ”

As he spoke, Ling Chunni helped Shen Shi sit up, and whispered with a little concern, "Are you okay?"

Shen Shi closed his eyes slightly and examined himself, and soon found that his physical injuries were almost unhindered, and the biggest problem was that the spiritual power in his body was consumed too much, but after a night of sleep, whether it was the spiritual power in the eyebrows or the dantian qi sea under his abdomen, he had recovered two or three percent, and his body was also relieved.

But even so, the sore meaning in his body was still faint, and after he pondered for a while, he said to Ling Chunni: "I need to meditate and breathe for a while, if there is nothing big in between, don't disturb me first, okay?"

Ling Chunni immediately nodded and said, "Okay, you just do it, don't worry about me." ”

Shen Shi bowed his head, and after thinking for a while, he took out a spirit crystal from the ruyi bag and held it in his hand, then closed his eyes, and began to slowly regulate his luck, while trying to attract the spirit into his body.

His current realm has reached the Ning Yuan Realm, which is naturally very different from the Qi Refining Realm that he had just started cultivating, and it didn't take long for him to feel the spiritual power in the spirit crystal, and then a stream of gentle spiritual power slowly entered his body along the meridians of the qi veins in his arm.

Where the spiritual power passed, the meridians seemed to have been warmed up quickly, and the faint feeling of soreness quickly dissipated, Shen Shi thought to himself in his heart, and recalled all the details before and after the battle yesterday. The sequelae brought to him by the dragon pattern golden armor after this battle were really unexpected, and he had occasionally used it a few times in the past, including the one where he went to Gaoling Mountain to save Xiao Hei and the three monks of the Mountain Bear Hall, but the consequences were not as serious as this time yesterday.

After thinking about it, Shen Shi still didn't find any exact and clear reason, and in the end, he could only guess that it might be related to the small axe weapon that Jiang Heihu sacrificed in the battle, when the small axe slashed into himself and Shen Shi chose to carry it hard, the dragon pattern golden armor was obviously dark, that is, from that time on, his spiritual power consumption instantly soared, and soon it reached the point where he was almost running out of oil.

Could it be that there is something strange about that little axe?

Shen Shi secretly speculated in his heart, and at the same time meditated on his luck to recuperate, with the effect of meditation and the replenishment of spiritual power in the spirit crystal at the same time, the recovery speed of the spiritual power in his body suddenly accelerated a lot, and the situation on his body was also rapidly improving, and in the end, Shen Shi himself quickly immersed himself in cultivation.

This period of cultivation passed unconsciously for a long time, and when Shen Shi suddenly felt that the spiritual power in his palm had been exhausted and no spiritual power entered his body, he woke up, exhaled slowly, and opened his eyes.

There was silence in the room, but the light seemed to dim again, as if the day had passed quietly again. Shen Shi lowered his head slightly, and saw Ling Chunni.

The beautiful, feminine woman was still beside the bedside beside him, perhaps because she was too tired, and her head rested lightly on the edge of the bed, and she had fallen asleep peacefully. Her eyes were closed, and her delicate and slender eyelashes occasionally moved slightly, as if she had seen something in a dream, or maybe this was a place that made her feel at ease, so the corners of her mouth were faintly filled with a hint of comfort in her sleep.

One of her hands hung down at her side, but the other hand was on the bed, perhaps an unintentional movement in her sleep, I don't know when it started, but her palm was gently on his hand, and the slender fingers were white skin, as if there was a faint tenderness.

It's like a reluctant warmth, which makes her want to hold it tightly in her dreams.

Just like that, gently grasping his palm.
