Chapter Thirty-Eight: Behind the Sword
Li Xuan tore off his shirt and tightly wrapped Duan Xiaotian's leg injury to prevent him from losing too much blood. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
He didn't know why Duan Xiaotian caused the rocks to roll down, so he put a close look on the top and examined it carefully, and found that there was a rotten wooden pit where Duan Xiaotian had stepped on before, and the pit was not only covered with a rotten wooden plank, but also dozens of tough rattan chains in the pit leading to various organs on the hillside. Come to think of it, if it weren't for the fact that this mechanism had been eroded by wind and rain for many years, and because the hillside was full of thorns, I am afraid that there would be more than a few boulders coming at you. He secretly marveled at the ingenuity and meticulousness of the people who arranged the mysterious organs of the mountains and forests, but he also felt that God was unfair to him, why did he let himself suffer these tribulations and let himself be sent into such a situation? However, the situation in front of him could no longer allow him to sigh and think, so he could only grit his teeth and persevere, and continue to walk up the hillside with Duan Xiaotian on his shoulder. Finally went up the hillside, Li Xuan saw that although the top of the slope was cramped, the terrain was very gentle.
Li Xuan put Duan Xiaotian behind a slope stone, reclined steadily, and looked around. But when he circled the top of the slope three times, he found that this so-called hillside was actually a cliff head, one side of the cliff head was connected to the pine forest under the slope, and the other three sides were volleyed into the air, and the bottom was not visible. Li Xuan stood on the edge of the cliff and looked into the distance, only to feel that the world was extremely open, and the wind was blowing, and it was fierce and urgent, as if it came from the end of the sky. The wind that flickers high and low, the wind that blows straight through the distant mountains, lushly floating, and thousands of white clouds linger and change, like a beautiful picture that splashes ink and can reach out and touch.
In the face of such a scene, who can not be in a good mood? However, in the face of a Jedi where there is no way forward and no way back, who can be in a good mood! After a while, Li Xuan suddenly came to his senses and said secretly: "In such a precipitous place, if there is no way out, is it not a dead end...... If you want to go down the mountain, how can you go down?
He returned to the slope stone in a gloomy manner, and saw Duan Xiaotian waking up, sweating profusely from the pain of losing his legs.
Duan Xiaotian listened to Li Xuan's detailed explanation of the situation here, his eyes suddenly became strange and painful, and he gasped violently before he said to Li Xuan: "Brother, it seems that my life should be here." Li Xuan listened to what he said, and couldn't help but comfort: "Brother, don't be sad, this is just a cliff, but it's not a dead end, it's a big deal, I'll take you back the same way." Duan Xiaotian shook his head weakly, looked up to the sky and smiled bitterly: "Brother doesn't know. In the early years, I was in the rivers and lakes, and I had long heard that this place was a big ominous place. Some people have even said that in the past 30 years, all the people who have been to the top of this mountain cliff have either died or been disabled, and no one who can even live has come out, which seems to be true. ”
When Li Xuan heard this, he was taken aback, looked at Duan Xiaotian in disbelief, and asked, "It turns out that you have long known that there are many organs and dangers here. Alas, in that case, why do you want to lead the younger brother to the earth temple?" Duan Xiaotian smiled bitterly, let out a long breath, and said, "Do you remember that I told you that Su Feiyan had an agreement with the Heavenly God Gang General Altar Imperial Forest Guards?"
Duan Xiaotian nodded, his expression suddenly became hideous, and he gritted his teeth and said, "That earth temple is the place where she made an appointment with us back then to exchange her sword for an antidote. Li Xuan was stunned for a moment, and suddenly a ray of sunshine shot into his heart, and he suddenly woke up. In fact, since Duan Xiaotian's unsuccessful attempt to kill himself last night, Li Xuan has been thinking: "In terms of martial arts, Duan Xiaotian is much higher than himself, if he wants to kill him, whether on the road or in the mountains, he can kill himself at any time, but why did he brave the rain overnight to lead himself to this barren mountain and wilderness, and why did he go to such a great deal of trouble......
Li Xuan looked at Duan Xiaotian and saw that he was looking at him intently, and said in his heart: "Now it seems that this seemingly rough man actually has a careful mind. He led himself here, in addition to being inaccessible here, he could boldly snatch the sword and destroy the corpse, but also after seizing the sword, he could wait for work, use the mysterious mechanism in the forest, and wait for Su Feiyan to come and take the sword and kill him. "Thinking about this, I don't feel sweaty. He didn't expect that he would step into the rivers and lakes because of the Devil May Cry Sword, if it weren't for the strong wind, which made him lose his way, and met Duan Xiaotian at the Kelaixi Hotel, maybe he would have entered the boundary of Shanxi. Could it be that this is the rivers and lakes? The rivers and lakes are composed of the fake Bao Lin who killed innocents indiscriminately, Ji Tan, the ever-changing disguised national hand, Zhuge Dongfang, who once lived in seclusion and is now willing to work for the imperial court, Yuan Wenmen, who took on the mysterious and strange name of others, Zhong Chu, the leader of the Flying Dragon Sect, who forgot his feelings and forgot his righteousness and secretly survived, and Yan Wuwu, who was tyrannical and powerful, and had extremely strong martial arts...... Even, is this Duan Xiaotian and others in front of him who have fissioned human nature, are bold and reckless, but have hidden meticulous thoughts? If the rivers and lakes are all composed of people who are for their own selfish interests, who act sinisterly, and have no chivalrous backbone, wouldn't it be too terrifying! But in the blink of an eye, he thought of the old man Shen Wuxing, who seemed to be cold, but had a fiery heart, Yao Zikong, who was smart and beautiful, and whose personality was not inferior to that of Xu Mei, and felt that his heart was as warm as spring.
He shook his head secretly, and said in his heart: "How can the rivers and lakes be full of evil people! Shen Wuxing, Yao Zikong, and Ah Ying are not people who are warm-hearted in the ancient way...... As the saying goes, seeing things is divided into two, and the wicked may not be without their good side, and the good may not be unruly in their actions...... That's it, that's it, since I stepped into the rivers and lakes, I have to clean myself and be kind to others, if I rely on this heart, influence others, and let more people be chivalrous, then it is not in vain to enter the rivers and lakes. ”
Duan Xiaotian saw that Li Xuan was silent for a long time, how could he know that he was thinking about it, and thought that he was shocked and silent because he heard about the agreement between himself and Su Feiyan here. He coughed lightly and said apologetically: "Don't be surprised, brother! I was so confused that I wanted to kill you, alas...... Fortunately, I didn't kill it, otherwise brother, even if I live, I will regret it for half a lifetime!"
Li Xuan had already forgiven him, and when he heard his sincere words, he was also very moved, and said, "Brother, don't blame yourself, isn't it good for the younger brother." Duan Xiaotian was silent, and suddenly said after a while: "My brother is talented and kind-hearted, and I think I will become a character like Hu Shanye and Hu Daxia in the future...... I...... I ......" Before he could say anything, he suddenly heard a sharp howl from the depths of the pine forest. The sound of this long howl came from the depths of the pine forest at the bottom of the slope, although it was far away from the two of them, but because the mountain was quiet and empty, and the inner strength of the person who howled was deep, so it was still clearly audible.
Since the two entered the pine forest, they have encountered many strange things, and now although they have a moment of comfort under the serious injury, they still dare not be careless. Hurriedly hid behind the slope rocks, and looked into the depths of the pine forest, only to see three figures chasing each other in the depths of the lush pine forest. Li Xuan took a closer look and found that the people chasing were Ah Ying, Jin Shui, Yuan Si and others. Why did they return to the mountain again? What about Yan Wushu and Zhong Chu? What about Shen Wuxing and Shen seniors? Just thinking wildly, they heard the sound of clothes breaking through the wind in the pine forest below the slope, looming, and the sound of rushing footsteps, sometimes near and sometimes far away. It's really the mountains and forests that are deep to see people, and to hear people's words in front of you.
Li Xuan and Duan Xiaotian were surprised, and heard Ah Ying's voice from afar. She shouted as she hurried, "Brother Li, are you still on this mountain?" This was Ah Ying's voice, but strangely, Ah Ying seemed to be shouting indiscriminately, and kept running in circles into the depths of the dense forest. Duan Xiaotian looked at Li Xuan, and saw that he seemed to be a little impatient, and wanted to call Ah Ying, so he seemed to smile and said: "You and I are both seriously injured, if you call Miss Ah Ying over, I am afraid that it will only increase her danger." ”
Li Xuan really wanted to call Ah Ying, and after listening to Duan Xiaotian's words, he suddenly came to his senses, but he muttered in his mouth: "What should I do? You can't watch Miss Ah Ying in danger!" Duan Xiaotian smiled and said, "Can't you see that Miss Ah Ying is going around in circles with them?" hehe...... She has a soft spot for Brother Li! Thinking that she couldn't find you at the bottom of the mountain, she went back to the mountains and forests, because she was worried that you would bump into them, so she deliberately shouted your name, so as to lure away Miss Yuan Si and Jin Shui, so that you could get out of danger!" At this time, there was no need for Duan Xiaotian to remind him, Li Xuan had already roughly understood Ah Ying's hard work, and said in his heart: "Ah Ying...... You're such a stupid girl, such a big mountain forest, if you don't see me coming down the mountain, I'm sure I'm on the mountain? Huh...... Shen is not afraid of his predecessors...... Why wasn't he with Ah Ying? Could it be that he was injured by Yan Invincible, and Ah Ying couldn't find him?" Thinking like this, he became more and more worried about Ah Ying.
Duan Xiaotian seemed to understand Li Xuan's thoughts, comforted a few words, and said solemnly: "This A-Ying girl is an abnormal elf and has a shrewd mind, although she has less experience in the rivers and lakes, she is also a person with great wit. Hey, don't worry, she's going to be fine. Listen, even though she is chanting your name, her voice seems to contain a mischievous and playful tone, which is very strange!"
Li Xuan listened carefully and said, "That's true, but why is this?" Duan Xiaotian shook his head, sighed, and said, "Could it be that she deliberately teased Miss Yuan Si and Jin Shui?" Yes, it must be so." Li Xuan couldn't help but wonder: "What?"
Duan Xiaotian said: "Could it be that after Shen Wuxing was injured by Yan Wuving's attack, he didn't dare to be sure that he was on the mountain, so he deliberately let Ah Ying appear and tease Yuan Si Girl and Jin Shui, so as to lead Yan Invincible?" Li Xuan shook his head and said, "According to you, the reason why Ah Ying shouted and screamed was ultimately to tease Yan Wuving...... It is impossible for Senior Shen to use his granddaughter as bait. Duan Xiaotian said: "Why not? Why not?" Li Xuan said: "Listening to the tone of Senior Shen before, although he was unwilling to join forces with Yuan Wenmen to deal with Yan Invincible, he definitely didn't want to get close to him. If you lure him out, it won't do him any good!" Duan Xiaotian couldn't help but smile bitterly and said, "The old rivers and lakes like to be whimsical the most, and there is no trajectory to follow. If we know the grievances between them, we will understand why Ah Ying shouted like this......" The two were speculating wildly, when they suddenly heard Yuan Si girl screaming, and then they heard Jin Shui shouting loudly, and the fist wind was agitating, as if they were fighting with someone. The two of them heard strangely, and looked into the depths of the pine forest along the gap in the slope stone, and saw Ah Ying holding the willow leaf cold light knife and fighting with the fourth girl Yuan who was holding her chest, while Jin Shui was entangled by an old man in Mai, who was already defending more and attacking less.
Li Xuan was surprised and delighted when he saw that the old man in sackcloth was Shen Wuxian, and Duan Xiaotian seemed to have forgotten his injury, and said happily: "Shen Wuxing is really an old Jianghu, does he know that Yan Wuyi is on the mountain, and he still wants to lead him to appear?" hehe...... It seems that there is another fight......" At this moment, I heard Yuan Si girl fighting with Ah Ying, and scolded angrily: "Shen Wuxing, you cunning old horseman. You can't fight us, but you use your granddaughter as bait to sneak attack the old lady. ”
Shen Wuxing slashed out three palms, forced Jin Shui back, and said with a smile: "I have no grievances with you, but you did it to Shen first." Hey...... Is I, Shen Wufear, easy to bully? Since we have started to do it, it will be unreasonable to defeat you and win the victory, life and death. As soon as he finished speaking, his moves tightened, forcing Jin Shui to take a few steps back.
Although Jin Shui's ghost hand technique with Yuan Si Girl is wonderful, it is difficult to play in a dense pine forest. Shen Wuxing saw through this, so at the beginning of the fight with the two, he tried to lure the two to the pine forest around the earthen temple, and as the two kept moving their figures, he was able to avoid the strength of their moves and wait for the opportunity to attack the enemy. And Shen Wuxing was afraid of this thought, Yuan Si Girl and Jin Shui only peeked through it at this time, but it was too late, and Shen Wu was hidden behind the tree Yan Wu Invincible, a palm in the air, slashed his shoulder, and was shocked, if it weren't for this, even if Yuan Si Girl and Jin Shui joined forces, in this pine forest, it would be difficult for him to be his opponent. Where did Li Xuan and Duan Xiaotian know this, and they didn't know that after Ah Ying left the two, before they reached the bottom of the mountain, they met Shen Wuxing. At that time, Shen Wuxing was secretly struck in the shoulder by Yan Wuxian, and under the suspicion, he planned to try to stop with Yuan Si and Jin Shui, but after Ah Ying and Shen Wuxuan rendezvous, they told him all the words that Yan Wushu heard in the tree hole, and then he suddenly realized. It turned out that when Yan Wushu did it to himself before, he was merciful!
Although Shen Wuxing was very jealous of Yan Wuyi, he also knew that he was very domineering and loved money like life, but he had a very secret between himself and him, and he would never hurt his life unless he had to. Besides, if this person didn't have something big, he would never have used a huge cage to go to this dangerous place with a dense pine forest. What did Yan Wushu want to do? Why did he not rush to show up and ask for the treasure in his hand when he met him, but left in a hurry? He must have been strange in this trip, what was his intention? He secretly thought to himself, since Yan Wushu has something to do and has no time to take care of me, then why don't I take advantage of this situation to find out his purpose! Although Shen Wuxing experienced a major setback in leaving the Tianshen Gang, he dared to rebel with the Han King uprising back then, and his adventurous temperament had long since made him unable to suppress his curiosity. Therefore, he and Ah Ying searched around the mountains and forests, except for inadvertently touching a few corrupt mystical organs, they didn't find Yan Wuving. Therefore, he asked Ah Ying to deliberately look for Li Xuan in a loud voice, attracting Yan Wushu's attention, and he hid in the dark and snooped quietly. Of course, he couldn't have imagined that Yan Wushu and Zhong Chu were fighting giant pythons, and they were slandered by the poison sprayed by the giant python, and went down the mountain early. And Ah Ying shouted all the way, not only did she not lead Yan Invincible, but she actually led Yuan Si and Jin Shui out.
Li Xuan saw that Yuan Si girl and Jin Shui fought and retreated, Shen Wuxing and A Ying chased after him, and in a moment, he disappeared in the pine forest, took a long breath, and was sighing, but he heard Duan Xiaotian snort softly, obviously his leg hurt and unbearable, turned his head to look, and saw that his face was sallow, and the pain he endured seemed to have reached the limit. Seeing Li Xuan looking at him, Duan Xiaotian smiled bitterly and said, "I really can't help this pain." Seeing him like this, Li Xuan felt sad for a while, and said, "I'll take my brother down the mountain and find a Langzhong." Duan Xiaotian shook his head weakly and said, "I am also to blame for the way I am now, retribution! Alas...... I don't have long to live, so I ask you for something. ”
Duan Xiaotian took a deep breath, gritted his teeth and said, "You must promise me...... Promise me...... Oops!"
