Chapter 240: Heading to Jinshui Town
[Ran^Text^Library] Although the fire in the teahouse was almost extinguished, the fires in other places were still growing, and there was less and less air to breathe, Gao Zhan kept coughing, and it became more and more difficult to breathe, Zhang Xiao saw Gao Zhan's condition and knew that there was no need to stay here any longer, so he picked up Gao Zhan's sword and flew away from Xinye.
Zhang Xiao found a small river outside Xinye City, which was just right for Gao Zhan to rest, so he took him here, Gao Zhan's throat was now like being scorched by fire, and he wanted to dig it out in pain, and when he saw the river, he immediately ran desperately to the river.
Gao Zhan rushed into the river, and took a big gulp of water, really wanted to drink all the water in the river, and Zhang Xiao was vigilantly observing the surroundings at this time, this is not far from Xinye, if there are soldiers who escaped from Xinye, then they will definitely come here, but no footprints were found, it seems that this time tens of thousands of troops are almost lost in this sea of fire.
But at this moment, Zhang Xiao seemed to hear the rumbling vibration, as if an army was rushing here, but Zhang Xiao knew that under such a situation, his own army would definitely not be able to organize into such a formation, so there was a good chance that the enemy army was attacking here, so he hurriedly ran to the river and wanted to take Gao Zhan away.
But the result did not make Zhang Xiao guess, but the degree of crisis of the situation is about the same, it is not the army that rushes here, but the flood, I don't know why there is no rain here but there is a flood? The momentum of the flood is very fierce, it washes away everything by the river, and rushes downstream, but fortunately Zhang Xiao brought Gao Zhan up in time, so that he escaped a catastrophe.
Gao Zhan's stomach was bulging, but he was still unsatisfied, but his mind was much clearer, and when he saw Zhang Xiao beside him, he asked, "Uncle Shi, what should we do now?"
Zhang Xiao put Gao Zhan in a safe place, and said angrily: "Now, mortal affairs have nothing to do with me, the current top priority is to kill Yuan Li and avenge my cousin, and everything else will be talked about later." ”
Gao Zhan couldn't let go of Zhang Jiao's death, and the revenge of killing the master must be avenged, so he said: "Uncle Shi, I can't stand by and watch the master's hatred, just let me go with you, although I may not be able to help you much, but I am also an immortal cultivator who has entered the door, and I can help you a little bit." ”
Zhang Xiao, who has such a good apprentice, is also relieved for Zhang Xiao, and his heart is much calmer, agreeing with Gao Zhan's thoughts, and saying: "Okay, one more person and more strength, and you will lead the way to Beiyuan County." ”
Gao Zhan got Zhang Xiao's consent, so he said: "Uncle Shi, I know that there is a small town ten miles away from here, so we might as well go there to rest first, and then set off for Beiyuan County." ”
Zhang Xiao also felt that his thinking was a little numb at this time, and he felt very confused, and he should calm down and make serious arrangements for the next step, so Zhang Xiao took a deep breath and said, "Okay, then let's go to that town to rest first, I don't know if Yuan Li will do anything out of the ordinary during this time." ”
Gao Zhan saw that Zhang Xiao agreed, so he walked towards a high ground around him, wanting to check his current position, and Zhang Xiao also followed Gao Zhan and walked forward slowly, he didn't know why his mood had become so flat now, could it be because he was already overly sad and angry just now, so his feelings were numb?
Just when Zhang Xiao walked forward not far away, a voice came from behind him, saying: "It's not that you're confused, but you don't believe it, you still don't want to accept that what happened tonight is true, how eager you are to wake up and everything hasn't happened, and when the sun rises, you will accept this fact." ”
Zhang Xiao was startled by the voice coming from behind him, and immediately turned to look, and found that it was himself again, only to see that he was still sitting on the ground, looking like he was holding Zhang Yao, but he forgot about him, and he didn't expect him to dare to take the initiative to find him.
Zhang Xiao returned to him and said unceremonously: "It's you again, Mr. Zhu, you still dare to come and make a fool of yourself, I will let you have no return." ”
Zhang Xiao is really angry now, and Xinye Zhang Xiao also felt Zhang Xiao's anger, but he was not in a hurry, spread his hands and said: "Do you feel it? Do you feel my mood now? Are you willing to believe that I am yourself?"
With Xinye Zhang Xiao's words, Zhang Xiao clearly felt all the feelings of Xinye Zhang Xiao, as if he was now controlling two people, Zhang Xiao couldn't help but believe that this person was himself, so he asked vigilantly: "What the hell is going on with you? Since you are me, how can you appear in front of me." ”
Xinye Zhang Xiao maintained the posture of holding up Zhang Xiao again, and said: "I am your heart, I know everything you think, and the reason why you can see me is because I am gradually no longer under your control, and in the near future, our identities will be replaced." ”
Zhang Xiao was a little surprised, only to encounter the incident of Yuan Li and Zhang Yao, and now even he came to fight against him, and he was a little unclear, so he asked: "What do you mean by this, since you are me, what kind of replacement is there, in exchange for me, am I still me?"
Xinye Zhang Xiao smiled faintly and said, "Don't you understand? I'm actually your inner demon, do you know that the inner demon knows? You should know how terrible it is for a person to have a mental demon, right?"
Zhang Xiao realized at this time, things seem to be just like what he said, the heart demon is the biggest enemy of a cultivator, if he can't pass this level, it will bring disaster to everyone in the future, and the impact will not be much lower than that of the Zixu ghost, but it is very strange, how could Xinye Zhang Xiao take the initiative to tell himself his identity, shouldn't he and him be enemies?
Zhang Xiao was very puzzled, he didn't know what medicine was sold in Xinye Zhang Xiao's gourd, so he asked: "Since you are my inner demon, then why do you still have to tell me, aren't you afraid that I will destroy you now?"
Xinye Zhang Xiao was still smiling and said: "We are one, if I die, you will become incomplete, and life will not last long, you must know the true meaning of the heart demon, the heart demon is the truest portrayal of your heart, not necessarily all evil, a person is driven by the heart demon, in fact, he is willing to fall, Zhang Xiao, you have to remember that your heart is righteous, you yearn for justice, don't let me be corrupted by them......"
Xinye Zhang Xiao's words were not finished, and he disappeared, which made Zhang Xiao unable to calm down anymore, it seems that in addition to eliminating Yuan Li to avenge Zhang Yao, he will also usher in a more difficult battle, and suddenly feel that there is no longer anything worth attaching to in this world, and even he began to fight against himself.
Gao Zhan walked in front, heard Zhang Xiao talking to himself alone, I didn't know what was wrong with him, and when he calmed down, he asked carefully: "Uncle Shi, who are you talking to?
When Zhang Xiao heard Gao Zhan's voice, he immediately came to his senses and shook his head vigorously, but he didn't want to tell Gao Zhan about his demons, so he lied and explained: "It's nothing, I'm communicating with spiritual things, spiritual things are spiritual, and communicating with them more can promote the tacit understanding between people and things." ”
After hearing this, Gao Zhan continued to walk forward, but tightened the bag containing the emperor fern on his body, maybe he could communicate with it, and Zhang Xiao no longer thought about the demons, no matter what, everything else would wait until he helped Zhang Xiao take revenge.
Gao Zhan came to a tall tree, and with the help of Zhang Xiao's aura, he finally recognized his location, and knew the direction of the town he was going to, so he climbed down the tree and said to Zhang Xiao: "Uncle Shi, I have confirmed the direction of the town, let's set off now, we should be able to arrive at dawn." ”
Seeing that Zhang Xiao didn't say anything anymore, Gao Zhan walked in the direction of the town, and said: "That town is called Jinshui Town, due to the special geographical location, there are many wells in the town, and the taste is sweet, famous far and wide, this time you can just taste it and eliminate fatigue." ”
Zhang Xiao and Gao Zhan didn't say anything on the way afterward, and when they reached dawn, they really entered the range of Jinshui Town, only to see that it was very secluded, and there was no figure on the road.
Zhang Xiao felt that this place was not as lively as Gao Zhan said, and asked: "Didn't you say that this place is famous far and wide? Then there should be a lot of pedestrians here, but why can't you even see a single figure?"
