Chapter 12: A New Beginning
"Brother Guan Hai!" Zhang Xiao shouted at Guan Hai excitedly, ran to the road, and kept waving at him.
Guan Hai also saw Zhang Xiao, rode in front of him and pulled the horse, jumped down, grabbed his shoulders tightly, and said: "Zhang Xiao is so good, you are fine, there has been no news of you, we are really anxious, are you injured, how did you wear such clothes." As he spoke, he kept checking on Zhang Xiao's body, and was very curious to see that he was wearing a shawl-like dress made of animal skin.
Zhang Xiao heard it, too, this dress is indeed very strange, and explained to Guan Hai: "This is sent by the Orion who saved me, after I escaped from Burning Well Village, I lived with them for a long time, and I walked for a long time before I arrived here." However, Zhang Xiao did not tell Guan Hai that his right hand was unconscious, and he didn't want him to worry.
"Yes, what happened to the Burning Well Village, was the Zixu Ghost subdued?" Guan Hai was obviously a little self-deprecating, he was powerless in front of the Zixu Ghost, and he was also known as the first warrior of the Taiping Sect.
"I don't know about the ghost in the end, but a lot of people died in Burning Well Village. Saying that, the atmosphere suddenly became heavy, I was originally going to save people, but I didn't expect it to be such a result.
"Don't think about it so much, you're fine, the village below is called Gudi Village, it is a village of our Taiping Sect, your Uncle Bocai is there, you go to him." Guan Hai pointed to the basin after speaking.
Zhang Xiao heard him say this, and then saw him riding a horse, it seemed that he was leaving, so he asked him, "Brother Guan Hai, where are you going?"
"The cultists in Qingzhou are almost ready for an uprising, and I have to rush back to organize it. Guan Hai said very eagerly, Zhang Xiao also knew that he had to focus on the overall situation, although he had a lot to say to Guan Hai, but he could only wait until the next meeting.
Guan Hai mounted his horse, jerked hard, and rushed towards the dark cave.
What's the matter, a cave appeared on the straight road, and Guan Hai rushed into it. Looking around, Zhang Xiao suddenly understood that this must be the mirror demon. Then, the sound of horses' hooves became louder and louder, and Guan Hai rushed out of the cave again.
"What's going on?" Guan Hai looked particularly stunned, obviously frightened.
"Hahaha!" Zhang Xiao couldn't help laughing out loud when he saw Guan Hai's expression, "Brother Guan Hai, this is the mirror demon I met in the woods, and it likes to play tricks on people." Zhang Xiao pointed to the mirror demon that had changed back into a human form and said.
At this time, the mirror demon rolled on the ground with the same joy. When Guan Hai heard Zhang Xiao say this, he was relieved, continued to ride the horse, and left quickly, obviously he hadn't eased up a bit.
"Don't make trouble, be honest and obedient. Zhang Xiao warned the mirror demon that it would be difficult to do if he played too much, but the mirror demon didn't seem to listen.
When I came to Gujing Village, the people here seemed to be very busy, carrying things everywhere, and when I saw Zhang Xiao enter the village, the villagers were obviously nervous and looked at him. Zhang Xiao didn't care so much and continued to walk towards the village, but was stopped by several villagers.
"Little brother, who are you and how did you come here. The villagers looked very nervous and asked Zhang Xiao cautiously.
"I'm a friend of Bocai, please let me know. Zhang Xiao said politely.
The villagers looked at each other a few times, and one of them walked away, probably to report. It didn't take long for the man to come, followed by a man, who was Bocai.
"Uncle Bocai. Zhang Xiao shouted to Bo Cai, Bo Cai's complexion now looks a little bad, maybe he has not fully recovered from being injured by the ghost, "Just now outside the village, I met Brother Guan Hai, and he said that you are here." ”
Hearing Zhang Xiao's voice, Bo Cai also suddenly came to his senses: "Zhang Xiao! I finally found you, after so long, I thought it was ...... Don't say it, don't say it, it's okay. Bo Cai walked up to Zhang Xiao, patted him on the shoulder, relieved, and then picked up his clothes again, feeling very strange, but didn't say anything.
The surrounding villagers saw that this person did know Bocai, so they all went to work. Bo Cai led Zhang Xiao to a larger house and said, "You can live here in the future, the whole village is your own people, don't worry." ”
Bocai continued to walk to the back room, came over for a while, came out with a set of clothes, and said, "Change this clothes, I still have some things, and I will come to see you later." With that, he walked outside.
Bo Cai stepped out of the door, only to find that he had walked inside the door. What's going on, Bo turned around and continued to walk outside the door, but the result was the same, he walked inside the door again. Bo Cai's right index finger and middle finger were placed together on his forehead, sensing that there would be a demonic aura in the room. So he lifted Dao Li and tapped his hands lightly, and the door of this room immediately turned into a little boy and flew out.
"Wow, wow!" the little boy cried out loud, it was the mirror demon who was playing tricks.
"Uncle Bocai, it's a mirror demon, I brought it, it's not malicious, it's just a little too naughty. Zhang Xiao realized that the mirror demon was playing tricks on people again, but he picked the wrong object. Hearing Zhang Xiao say this, Bo Cai was relieved, and turned around and left without looking at the mirror demon.
Bocai came to a guild hall and called a scout dressed as a scout and told him: "Go and tell everyone that if you encounter a strange phenomenon, don't panic, stay where you are and don't move, it's all right." ”
The mirror demon cried on the ground for a long time, and when he saw that no one took care of him, he sat up, walked into Zhang Xiao's room, and saw Zhang Xiao helping his right hand into the sleeve with great difficulty, and said, "Your right hand is unconscious, why can't you cure it?"
Hearing the mirror demon say this, Zhang Xiao was also very helpless, and said: "It's useless, my hand is not an ordinary injury, and even the aura can't be cured." ”
"Aura, of course such a useless thing is useless, in front of the essence of the sun and the moon, what is the aura of heaven and earth, you are letting me laugh at you." The mirror demon stood on the table, lowered his head and said to Zhang Xiao arrogantly.
"So you have a way?" Zhang Xiao said with a surprised look at the mirror demon.
The mirror demon jumped off the table and raised Zhang Xiao's right hand, and the sun and moon essence passed into Zhang Xiao's hand. Gradually, Zhang Xiao felt that his right hand began to get hot, and he actually felt it, but the feeling became more and more bad, because he felt that his hand was getting hotter and hotter, and it had developed into severe pain. Zhang Xiao struggled slightly, but the mirror demon didn't let go at all, feeling that his right hand was about to explode, and after holding back for a while, the mirror demon finally stopped.
"Pass a little bit to you first, and it should have some effect. The mirror demon said after breathing.
Zhang Xiao just changed into clothes that were all soaked, but when he felt his right hand again, he really, I couldn't believe that my right hand could move, although it was sour and numb, but it was indeed able to move. I clenched my fist hard, very weak, although I could move, but I didn't have the strength, and I felt very tired after a few more movements.
Could it be that the Sun and Moon Essence is really more powerful than the Heaven and Earth Aura? This made Zhang Xiao a little unacceptable. However, the Sun and Moon Essence can really make his hand fully recover, so no matter how painful it is, he can bear it, so he asked the mirror demon again: "How many hands do I have to pass to fully recover?"
"How is it possible, the sun and moon essence can only be passed on to you, it can only forcibly allow you to control your hand, and if you pass it too much, the soul in your hand will dissipate, and then your entire hand will be useless. The mirror demon said impatiently.
When Zhang Xiao heard it say this, he suddenly became angry and said, "Then what kind of treatment are you, do you want to kill me?"
The mirror demon ran out of the door to play at this time, but Zhang Xiao was like a colic, and now he was simply injured. Anyway, there is nothing to do now, Zhang Xiao decided to go to Bo Cai, inquired while walking, and came to the hall where Bo Cai was, and saw that he was packing up, it seemed that he was going out, so he walked up.
"Uncle Bocai, where are you going?" asked Zhang Xiao.
"I forgot to tell you, the good teacher sent someone to send a letter to the testers a few days ago, saying that he was going to Zhishan, and I would also go to help him, you have just come back now, take care of your body, don't go, it is very dangerous now. Bocai said to Zhang Xiao very seriously.
"Then how can we do it, we came together, of course we have to go together, no matter how dangerous Zhishan is, I am not afraid. After speaking, he exuded his own aura, and the green aura fluttered in his hand, it turned out that his uncle was still alive and was going to Zhishan, presumably the others should be safe and sound.
Bo Cai was stunned when he saw Zhang Xiao's aura, this kid has cultivated to this extent and already has aura. At this time, there was a noise outside, "What's wrong, what's wrong." The mirror demon hurriedly ran in, it turned out that it sensed the aura emitted by Zhang Xiao, and thought something was wrong.
"And a helper. Zhang Xiao pointed to the mirror demon and said to Bocai.
Seeing this, Bo Cai had no choice but to agree to Zhang Xiao and take him with him, and told him that there were two locals who went with him, one scout, named Weng Chao, who was very familiar with the terrain in this area, and was agile, and the other was a young man, named Lian Jinsheng, an orphan, who ran in the mountains every day, and knew more about the paths and dark roads here. After Zhang Xiao and Bo Cai were all ready, they set off.
When they came to the gate of the village, Weng Chao and Lian Jinsheng were already waiting here. Lian Jinsheng saw that Bo Cai finally came, and couldn't wait to say: "Uncle Bo, hurry up, we still have to rush to the river below the mountain before dark, it will be dark in a few hours, and it will be too late to slow down." ”
"We don't go far, we go straight through the cemetery. Bo Cai pointed in the direction of the cemetery, and according to the route planned by Lian Jinsheng to meet Zhang Jiao, he had to make a big circle, and he only had to go straight from the cemetery.
Zhang Xiao was surprised to find that the direction that Bo Cai was pointing to was the direction of the Suiji Sword, could it be that the Suiji Sword was now in the hands of his uncle, this was very likely.
Hearing Bo Cai say this, Lian Jinsheng and Weng Chao shivered at the same time, this cemetery was haunted a long time ago, and anyone who went in never came out. So Weng Chao and Lian Jinsheng said in unison: "No, that cemetery is haunted, and you can't get out after you go in." ”
