Chapter 2: Truth and Falsehood
"Quick! I'm going to be faster! Faster!
In the woods, a figure was running wildly.
The figure did not run in a straight line, but kept changing its course from side to side, sometimes running through the trees for a while.
Zhang Xiu has now exerted light skills to the limit, but he still feels that it is not enough, and he only hates that the span of each step is too small, and he can't go to the tiger prison in one step!
At this time, there was no trace of the pursuers behind him for the time being, but Zhang Xiu did not dare to be careless, although he tried all kinds of means to avoid being judged the direction of his progress, but under the urgency of time, it was naturally impossible for him to be very meticulous, and it was only a matter of time before he was caught up.
After running from early morning to noon, Zhang Xiu finally stopped, although he could still hold on for a while, he still wanted to continue running. However, he was worried that after his strength was completely exhausted, if he encountered someone who wanted to snatch the Supreme Treasure Seal on the way forward, then he would not have any combat power.
Zhang Xiu first looked around to confirm that there was no human breath, and then leaned his back against a tree and sat down to rest.
He wanted to take out the dry food from his arms and eat a little, but his hand touched something cold and round.
"Supreme Treasure Seal ......"
Taking it out of his arms, looking at the dried blood stains on it, Zhang Xiu couldn't help but think of Zhang Ji again, and his heart suddenly felt like being pierced by a sharp blade, which was very painful.
"Just because of this thing, just because of this treasure seal, uncle and he!"
Zhang Xiu was so ruthless that he wanted to fall to the ground when he lifted the Supreme Treasure Seal.
It's just that the raised hand has never been able to fall, and the trembling there is incessant, as if something is entangled, so that Zhang Xiu can't put it down.
"What if I destroy this treasure seal now, uncle, he can't come back!"
After a long time, Zhang Xiu sighed, slowly put down his hand, and was about to put the treasure seal back in his arms and hide it, when he suddenly remembered something, his face couldn't help but change greatly, and he hurriedly took it out and looked at it carefully.
The matter of not returning to the winery, he had already heard the other party tell him on the way to the black nest with his uncle after he woke up. I also knew that there was a supreme treasure seal that should be a high imitation of Hu Che'er, accompanied by Wang Erdan, and was returning to the main altar with some injured disciples.
According to his uncle's words, after comparing the high imitation of the Supreme Treasure Seal with the portrait given to them by Venerable Wen, he did not see the slightest difference between the two. If it weren't for Liu Xie, who was exposed in order to compete for the Supreme Treasure Seal, they would have taken it back to the main altar now.
"Is this meeting also fake?" Zhang Xiu suddenly became worried.
Since there can be one fake one, there may also be a second fake one. It's just that he hasn't seen the Supreme Treasure Seal that should be a high imitation, and secondly, the Supreme Treasure Seal of Venerable Wen is in Zhang Ji's place, and no matter how he looks at it, he can't tell whether it's true or fake.
"Liu Bei threw the Supreme Treasure Seal into the air so casually at that time, could it be because this is a fake? I want to use a fake treasure seal to make the people around them kill each other, and it is best if someone can take it away, they can get out of their shells!?"
"In this way, whoever takes this Supreme Treasure Seal will already be inarguably able to argue when it is found out that it is fake. Except for the person who made the seal, others will only think that it is the person who got the treasure seal, and deliberately say that it is fake in order to be able to swallow the treasure seal alone and not be remembered by others. ”
"Even if you smash this treasure seal in front of the heroes of the rivers and lakes, it's useless, others will only think that you smashed an imitation, and the real thing has long been dropped. On the contrary, it will make others think that this is the practice of three hundred taels of silver here!"
The more Zhang Xiu thought about it, the more frightened she became, and the more she thought about it, the more scared she became.
"No, it can't be! Uncle, how could it be a fake one that he gave his life to rob him!? Liu Bei and the others were all fighting hard at that time, it didn't look like they were cheating! I thought too much, yes, I must have thought too much! I should now focus all my attention on how to reach the Tiger Prison Pass safely!"
"It's true, this must be true!" Zhang Xiu hurriedly put the treasure seal into his arms, he was afraid that the doubts in his heart would become more and more serious when he looked at it again.
Before his mood calmed down, he suddenly heard the sound of footsteps in his ears.
"Someone?!" Zhang Xiu's expression froze. Judging by the voice, there was only one person on the other side, walking towards the big tree he was on.
Zhang Xiu clenched the tiger-headed golden gun in his hand, carefully calculating the distance of the other party, preparing to make a sneak attack and kill him with one blow.
He didn't look at who the other party was, and now he was the most likely enemy. Or even if it was just a passing mountain village or something, he couldn't have left a living mouth, in case those chasing him would find out where he was.
Listening to the footsteps that were already very close, Zhang Xiu flashed out from behind the tree, and brandished the tiger's head golden gun and stabbed straight in the direction from which the sound came!
Seeing that he was about to stab the figure, the golden gun in Zhang Xiu's hand couldn't help but be stunned.
"King Erba!?"
Zhang Xiu couldn't believe his eyes, he really didn't expect to see each other here.
"Young master!?" Liu Yifan also pretended to be surprised. At this time, his clothes were in tatters, and there were dried blood and mud, and it looked like he had experienced a bloody battle.
"You, shouldn't you go back to Luoyang with Hall Master Hu and them, why are you here?!" Zhang Xiu said in astonishment: "And what's wrong with you?"
"Less, young master, Master Hu, they are all dead, and I barely escaped alone!" Liu Yifan's face turned from surprise to sadness.
"What!" Zhang Xiu was shocked and said hurriedly: "What the hell happened!?"
"That's right, on the second day of our separation, we encountered the attack of the Jade Dust Pavilion......" Liu Yifan slowly put together the content that he had been compiling for a long time.
To add credibility, he tore his clothes and drenched them with the blood of a captured hare before showing up. Then he rolled in the mud a few times, and then dried the blood and mud with the Burning Heaven Innocence Qi, making it look like it was many days ago.
“...... In the end, I was the only one who survived. Thinking that he was ashamed of the entrustment of the divine envoy, and had no shame to return to Luoyang, he wanted to look for the divine envoy all the way, wanted to tell the news, and hoped to have the opportunity to make meritorious contributions. ”
After Liu Yifan finished speaking, he also looked left and right and said, "Young Master, the divine envoy and others, are you looking for the whereabouts of the Supreme Treasure Seal?"
"How can this be, even Uncle Hu ......" Zhang Xiu did not answer Liu Yifan's question, his heart was confused.
"Young master, what's wrong with you?" Liu Yifan asked with a puzzled face, and then his face changed, and he said, "Could it be that God made him ......?"
It's okay not to mention it, but when he heard the word divine envoy, Zhang Xiu's mind remembered Zhang Ji again.
"First Uncle Lei, then uncle, and now even Uncle Hu has gone...... I didn't expect it, I didn't expect it! This mission turned out to be my farewell to them! How could you leave me alone!?"
The more I thought about it, the more heartache I felt, the more I thought about it, the more sad my heart became, Zhang Xiu only felt a tightness in her chest, a mouthful of blood spurted out, and her body staggered until she wanted to fall.
"Young master!" Liu Yifan hurriedly rushed over, holding Zhang Xiu's arm with his left hand, and gently stroking his back with his right hand to smooth his breath.
"Whew......" Zhang Xiu exhaled.
After Zhang Ji died, he had been patient, and now he only felt that this mouthful of blood was spurted, although the hurt and pain in his heart were still there, but it also made the stuffiness in his chest feel a lot better.
"Now that everyone is dead for this treasure seal, then I must not fall! I must hand this treasure seal into the hands of the sect master!" Zhang Xiu secretly swore in his heart, from this moment on, he decided to forget this pain for the time being, and he couldn't let them die in vain!
"It's okay, young master!" Liu Yifan didn't know what Zhang Xiu was thinking, and while his face was concerned, his right hand was already slightly raised, and he prepared a hand knife to slash at Zhang Xiu's neck.
Since those people saw that Zhang Xiu had taken away the Supreme Treasure Seal, as long as he killed Zhang Xiu and then destroyed the corpse, he would be able to return to the Tiger Prison Pass with the Supreme Treasure Seal unknowingly!
Not only does he firmly grasp the credit in his hands, but also ensures that there is no risk all the way, Liu Yifan really has no reason not to do it.
Just when Liu Yifan was about to make a move, there were a lot of voices coming from not far away, obviously chasing soldiers coming.
"Tsk! it's coming pretty fast!" Liu Yifan frowned.
