Chapter 26: Misfortune Doesn't Go Alone (1)
The various major sects raised troops to attack the Shadow Sacrifice Sect, went straight to the helm, and killed the remnants of the rebel party. After a bloody battle in the secret room, in the end, there was no danger, and this scourge was completely eradicated, and it became a beautiful talk in the rivers and lakes for a while. However, many teahouses have also adapted this battle into a popular version of word of mouth, introducing storytelling, adding fuel and sauce, and spreading it widely.
When the sects involved in this matter walked in the martial arts, everyone held their heads high, as if they were a few steps higher than others out of thin air, and they all boasted of being savior heroes. There were also some people who pestered those they knew, begging him to give a detailed account.
The story has spread a lot, and it is inevitable that it will be out of shape, and while everyone has put gold on their faces, several main characters have also been deified, but this battle has been depicted as a hero who defeats the bandits in three moves and two styles: I saw him make a move "Dapeng spread his wings", and Jiang Devil's head was bloody. I made a move "White Crane Soaring to the Sky", Jiang Motou abandoned his sword and admitted defeat, kowtowed and begged for mercy, and called me "Grandpa" three times. ...... The fly in the ointment is that after the war, he got rid of the demon sect leader, and the paper couldn't contain the fire, and the news still leaked out.
When everyone heard that, they didn't know whether this demon was dead or alive, and if he was given a room to recuperate, his injuries would heal and his strength would be restored, and it would surely cause great calamity. Therefore, the elites of each sect went out to search everywhere, eager to turn over every piece of land, and solved him before that, so as to ensure the peace of the Quartet.
At the same time, the mysterious girl who suddenly appeared at the last moment and rescued him is also a topic of conversation among the old and young at the entrance of the alley. Many idlers put on a dragon gate array, and there were even people in the gambling village who used this to make a bank, to guess the true identity of the girl. There are rumors in the rivers and lakes, but in the vast Central Plains, it is tantamount to looking for a needle in a haystack to find two people who are interested in evading.
That girl is Cheng Jiaxuan, she was ordered by Shen Shiyun to carry the Afterimage Sword to bully the major factions of the mountain gates and assassinate the head of the sect, in order to provoke the hatred of the entire martial arts and the Shadow Sacrifice Sect. This trick is a good plan to kill people with a knife, but because it offended the anger of the public, the knife was not busy borrowing, and most of the people had already sent it spontaneously.
The success of this matter is also due to the Remnant Sword. It is one of the Seven Evil Treasures, no matter how bad the wielder's skills are in the past, they can communicate with their minds, instantly stimulate their potential, exert their maximum power, and make the wielder a kendo master. At the same time, after mastering the mastery, you can control it from the heart and send and receive it freely. A few can dominate the martial arts, and there is no one who can stand out. Therefore, the heroes covet this sword.
Cheng Jiaxuan is already extremely clever and smart, and after using it a few times, he is familiar with the subtleties, and with some specious performances, he completed the task exceptionally well, even far beyond Shen Shiyun's expectations.
Cheng Jiaxuan's behavior is often unpredictable, and when she heard that everyone set off to exterminate the Shadow Sacrifice Sect, she also rushed to follow behind. All I wanted was to see the Demon Sect Leader again, and since the first meeting of Hetuala, I haven't been thinking about him for a moment. Every time he reported his identity to the Shadow Sect to everyone, he wondered if he had said the same thing when he went on a mission in the past. I also think that if I can always be by his side, even if I really be a miscellaneous subordinate, I don't care, and I will feel sweet about it.
It just so happened that the team was very large this time, and everyone had their own worries, and they didn't care about her little girl, even if they looked at her face, they only regarded her as a disciple of another sect. At that time, no one wanted to cause more trouble.
She was so frightened that her heart almost jumped out when she suddenly found an assassin in the dark night on a lonely cliff, and there were fewer people after passing through the chains, all of whom were excellent martial artists, which was sure to attract some attention. She had no choice but to wait for everyone to pass, first try to persuade the Shadow Sacrifice Sect disciples to take advantage of the chaos to flee for their lives, and then stun the decent people left behind, and carry light skills to cross the bridge.
Her martial arts skills are not good, she only learns three moves and two styles, and her internal strength is even more shallow, and she is really worried that she will be careless and fall in mid-air. thought that even if he was going to die, he couldn't die without seeing him, and encouraged himself all the way, and he really survived her. I don't know if God blessed her, or if she took a nap.
It also took her a lot of work to find the mechanism in the corridor, and she finally rushed to the secret room, just taking advantage of the thick smoke to hide in the chaos. waited until the end to "fall from the sky" and released smoke bombs to block everyone's sight. She was standing beside Jiang Yanchen at that time, in the vast emptiness, as soon as her arm fell, she suddenly felt him pull her sleeve and point in a low voice. It turned out that there was a statue on the inside, and after turning away, there was a secret passage, from which to escape, and after finishing speaking, there was no sound, thinking that he fainted again.
At that time, he was unconscious, relying on a person around him, but he didn't open his eyes to see her. Rao was like this, after all, he made him feel his existence as an individual, which was enough for her to be excited for a few days and nights.
After escaping from the helm with Jiang Yanchen on his back, he thought that decent people would soon chase after him, but he didn't know where to hide, and he had to think about where to go in the future. Fortunately, there was no pursuit along the way. After a day or so, I finally found a ruined temple hiding in the barren mountains.
The four wildernesses in this area are desolate and inaccessible, and even birds and animals are rarely seen. The gold paint on the statue in the temple is peeling off in large pieces, and a thick layer of ash has accumulated on the incense case. There are some incense candles scattered in small pieces, which must have been unworshipped by incense all year round, and this scene is very desolate.
But Cheng Jiaxuan is not one of those pious good men and women, and she sighed a little and worried about her own affairs. If you want to talk about the experience of taking care of people, she is extremely scarce, in the past, in the Yinxue Palace, the house was already bright and clean, and she didn't need to clean it, just make a look.
Shen Shiyun is busy all year round and has little communication with her, although Xuanshuang is a child, her self-care ability is also very strong, and she does not need to do anything for her in terms of food, clothing, transportation and accommodation. This time it wasn't so idle. Reluctantly moved out of a vacant lot, spread some thatch, and only lay or lie down here, and she had no intention of taking care of the whole temple.
Jiang Yanchen was still groggy, and he spit out a few mouthfuls of blood many times before fainting again. Wounds on his body often burst open, and he was bleeding profusely. Cheng Jiaxuan really couldn't, so he had to venture down the mountain, catch a few hairy feet to treat him, and after prescribing the medicine, he was afraid that they would leak the secret, so he killed them one by one.
She didn't dare to go back and forth to the town too much, and she couldn't go to the pharmacy to grab a few flavors of medicine, but she could only carry a bamboo basket on her back and go up the mountain to pick herbs. The delicate skin was not known to be ground out by the long grass with sharp teeth, and the two legs were so sore that he lost consciousness, and he would cramp every dawn, and sometimes he cried out in pain, but every time he went to the temple, he did not show the slightest displeasure, and still served him wholeheartedly.
Occasionally, when I had free time, I leaned over him and stared at him intently. When admiring it in the palace of the royal tomb, the distance was still far away, mostly from the side, and it was not as enjoyable as it is now, and I felt that even if he was facing each other, his appearance was cold and handsome. Sometimes the spring heart is rippling, gently raising his hand to caress his face, afraid that he will be conscious, and most of them retract immediately after touching it. She didn't know that among the women in the rivers and lakes who were jealous of her, she was the only one who could be so close to him, except for Luo Jin.
It seems that a few days have passed, and a stormy night has been ushered in. The sky was as dark as ink, but there was a faint paleness in it, and the scorching thunder in mid-air exploded one after another, and the pouring rain poured down. Cheng Jiaxuan was not afraid of thunder, but was upset when she heard it. He stepped forward and closed the temple door, and returned to the pile of grass where he was sitting and lying, and sat against the wall for a while. During this time, the time she closed her eyes could not exceed an hour, and the accumulation of sleepiness hit her for days, her eyelids became heavier and heavier, and she slowly closed her eyes and fell asleep.
Jiang Yanchen has a deep foundation in internal strength, and he was hit so hard this time, or he picked up a life from the ghost gate. After many days of restful sleep, the true qi regulates itself in the body, incorporating into the meridians, and the surge is not as dangerous as the previous days. After being bandaged by several doctors to stop the bleeding, and taking the pills prepared according to the prescription, it is really getting better and better day by day.
I don't know if it was the return of Zhenyuan or the wake up of the thunder this night, but he miraculously regained consciousness, sat up slowly, looked around, and saw that the four walls were broken, and there were only a few pieces of broken straw on the ground. There were several holes in the wall, from which gusts of wind leaked in, and the raindrops splashed back through the bombs, and many of them hit the face and body, which was really annoying.
The strips of cloth used by the predecessors to repair the blockage have long been blown away by the wind, and only one corner is still nailed firmly, and the other half is constantly fluttering. What I saw in front of me showed that this was an extremely dilapidated and old place, which was very different from the solemn nobility in the secret room of the Shadow Sacrifice Sect.
He also remembered that the Shadow Worship Cult had been destroyed, and that he was besieged by decent people, and before he could even use his last weapon, he was seriously injured and fell into a coma. I don't know what happened after that. muttered, "I...... Why didn't I die?"
Cheng Jiaxuan slept very lightly, and he would wake up at the slightest disturbance, not to mention that this time he was still worried about something, and when he heard the sound in a daze, he immediately sat up, rubbed his eyes, and saw that Jiang Yanchen had also sat up, and said happily: "Are you awake?"
Jiang Yanchen's mind was still immersed in the bloody battle a few days ago, there were enemies on all sides, everyone was wielding weapons to take their lives, and suddenly saw a strange girl pounce on him, he thought that he had never seen her, and he didn't know her identity and origin, and subconsciously wanted to resist. But the whole body is sore, every time I move my hands and feet, the wound is affected, the pain is unbearable, and there is no strength at all, and there is nothing to be done about her. I also felt that her body was soft, and she looked very well-behaved, not as if she was very malicious, but she could not be easily predicted.
At this time, Cheng Jiaxuan had already removed the veil and hugged his arm, although Jiang Yanchen knew that her move was not a grab, but she was always unaccustomed to being touched, so she pulled her arm out in annoyance, and felt a pain in her chest.
Cheng Jiaxuan didn't seem to notice his rejection, but said happily: "Are you awake? Great, I'm really afraid of you...... Sleep all the time and never wake up again. ”
Jiang Yanchen said in his heart: "What are you afraid of? Are you afraid that I will die? This woman is so strange, now among the rivers and lakes, who is not looking forward to me dying as soon as possible, she will be happy that I am not dead? What tricks are you play......ing?" How can you be here?"
Cheng Jiaxuan saw him for the first time, his biggest wish was that he could say a word to himself, at this time in a small space, the two of them were alone, then he couldn't ignore himself anymore, he was so happy that he wanted to faint, and he wanted to scream loudly, and finally suppressed his extreme excitement, and replied seriously: "It's an abandoned small temple on a barren mountain." It's ...... me."
She wanted to say, "I saved you", but thinking that this would inevitably be a suspicion of kindness, it seemed to remind him to reciprocate, so she stopped the words stiffly, swallowed them, and changed her words: "Don't worry, this place is very remote, and your enemy can't find it here." You can recuperate without worry. ”
Jiang Yanchen said to himself: "My enemy...... Hum...... Well...... They will never let me go, and now they must be hunted down all over the rivers and lakes...... Oh, I was only going to die, but I can still have this luck, and I will not die...... All hegemony, the way of heaven is destined to belong to me......" He turned his eyes to Cheng Jiaxuan and said, "You are the one who saved me?"
Cheng Jiaxuan nodded hurriedly, shook his head again, and said: "It's not a life-saving benefactor, it's just a gesture, don't ......" Jiang Yanchen directly interrupted: "Who is the master of your family?" Since he didn't know this girl, he expected that she must be acting according to orders. While guessing who will save him, what the hell is the idea.
