Chapter Twenty-Eight: Still Alive
"Not Dead!!"
Xiao Wu, who was lying quietly on the ground and looking up at the starry sky, stood up with a carp, looked at Yan Zhao who was embarrassed beside him, and then looked at his body that was intact except for blood stains. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
"Didn't the old witch beat me to death with one palm?"
The puzzled Xiao Wu asked softly, just now he clearly remembered that he was seriously injured, and wanted to die with his grandmother with a drunken archery, but in the end he was dodged by his grandmother, but he was slapped and his chest was shattered, why is it intact at this time, as if he has not been injured.
"Brother, you did die・・・・・・ but you came back to life. ”
Then Yan Zhao explained to Xiao Wu in detail the strange scene of Fang Cai, and how Xiao Wu recovered from his injuries and came back to life, his words were not very clear, and Yan Zhao in surprise could not express his meaning well, but Xiao Wu finally understood.
After listening to Yan Zhao's cumbersome explanation, Xiao Wu couldn't help but be shocked, because what happened to him, Xiao Wu himself didn't know what was going on, and this matter was too bizarre, if Xiao Wu didn't know that Yan Zhao was honest and couldn't lie, most of them would think that others were joking with him.
"Drunk and dreaming of death・・・・・・"
Yan Zhao mentioned many times that when Xiao Wu was dying, he mostly muttered in his mouth, this drunken dream of death.
Suddenly, Xiao Wu seemed to think of something, and hurriedly opened his blood-stained clothes and opened his close-fitting underwear.
When he came out of the rivers and lakes at the beginning of the year, Xiao Wu, who had been cheated out of his money, was very depressed, and his clothes were worn out and he could only find a way to repair them by himself, so the three pieces of cloth that recorded the exercises from the master became the fabric for sewing clothes.
The lining of the shirt that clings to the chest is blurred, and four big characters can be seen - drunkenness, life, dreams and death.
"I obviously don't understand the exercises on this cloth, how can I keep chanting when I am dying, is it because of this drunken dream of death?"
Xiao Wu, who was puzzled in his heart, said secretly.
"If that's the case, then ・・・・・・"
Xiao Wu's memory seems to have been awakened suddenly, vaguely remembering that when he first came out of the rivers and lakes, he once angered a big man who entered the Tao, when Xiao Wu, who didn't know what his true qi was, was injured by that person's heavy hand, and fainted when he was about to die, but after waking up, he was also healed from such an injury, and at that time he was only rescued by a kind Samaritan, but now he looks back on it very differently.
"When I was in the desert a month ago, when I was poisoned, it wasn't General Yin who rescued me, but at that time he also saw the strange sight of me 'healing' myself. ”
Carefully recalling the scene at that time, Xiao Wu said secretly in his heart.
"No wonder every time I mentioned to him the grace of saving his life, he always stopped answering, at that time I only thought that he was a real chivalrous man, but I didn't expect that my life was saved by myself.
It turned out that he asked me about my mentorship in a roundabout way, praised me for my young age, and indeed extraordinary martial arts, and repeatedly hinted that if I had any adventures, it was because of this drunken dream and death. ”
Xiao Wu had a secret feeling in his heart, but now that he thinks about it, it is too strange.
"It's just that since he had the heart to inquire about drunken life and death, why didn't he stop me when I asked to leave? Was it because he was chivalrous and unwilling to do the things of a robber, or did he let me go after several temptations and found that I didn't know anything? The old shopkeeper of the tea house once told me that this general Yin was an underworld figure and had no scruples in his words and deeds, so why would he let me go. Is he completely out of mind about drunken life and dreams, or is he afraid of something?"
At this time, after Yan Zhao told the truth after he was seriously injured, Xiao Wu thought about it for a while, but the confusing things in the past appeared in a clear context, although he was still puzzled, but he finally understood the roughly.
"If it is really this exercise, called drunken life and dream death, can allow me to heal in an instant every time I am seriously injured, then its value is immeasurable. Pifu is not guilty of his crimes, and if he meets General Yin again, he will have to be more careful in the future. ”
Thinking in his heart, Xiao Wu looked up at Yan Zhao who looked miserable again.
"Brother Yan obviously saw the strange scene I saw with his own eyes, but he didn't hide it at all, and he didn't find out the reason, and he was greedy, he was really a ・・・・・・ fool・・・・・・"
Xiao Wu is not a very good person, probably because of the master's stocking, which made his personality more selfish and more casual. Maybe Xiao Wu, who is growing up, has no shortcomings in dealing with people, but if you want Xiao Wu to really recognize a person, it is not easy, from childhood to adulthood, even if he walks in the rivers and lakes, Xiao Wu only has a few friends now.
There is probably one more today.
"Brother, since you are not dead, it's good, I'll meditate on luck first, the old witch's palm power is really not light. ”
Yan Zhao saw that Xiao Wu was fine, and remembered that he was still injured, and his breath was blocked, so he sat on the spot, forming a five-hearted momentum towards the sky, carrying true qi, and using his luck to heal his injuries.
Xiao Wu chuckled, and when he saw the smoke above Yan Zhao's head and the steam all around him, he couldn't help but scold.
"This guy's internal cultivation is really profound, such cultivation is still blocked from the congenital, Brother Yan, you are really 'talented'. ”
Watching Yan Zhao's luck, Xiao Wu's attention suddenly shifted and looked at Ning Rong's scholar who was waking up in the distance.
"Ah・・・・・・ what's going on・・・・・・"
Rubbing his head with one hand and supporting his body with the other, Ning Rong sat paralyzed at the door of the wing, his consciousness still a little blurred.
Fortunately, grandma did not deliberately target him, and fortunately, he only stepped out of the door at that time, some distance from the battlefield, otherwise with Ning Rong's weak scholar, I am afraid that he would have died a long time ago.
"Brother Ning, it's a coincidence. ”
Xiao Wu's footsteps moved lightly, and he came to Ning Rong's side.
"Ahh
It was too late, Ning Rong didn't see Xiao Wu's face clearly for a while, and Xiao Wu's appearance was too sudden, and Ning Rong, who was in a daze, couldn't help but be surprised. After he calmed down a little and saw Xiao Wu's face clearly, he said.
"It turned out to be a young man, what is the situation, Xiaosheng heard a strange noise outside the house, so he came out to check, but he heard a scream and was stunned. ”
Xiao Wu said with a smile.
"Brother Fang Caining, can you see the figure of that female ghost?"
Ning Rong recalled that there seemed to be a black shadow with teeth and claws, and he immediately shivered, and his hairs stood on end.
"Shaoxia・・・・・・ Shaoxia is saying that there are really female ghosts?"
Immediately, he seemed to be cheering himself up, shaking his head and saying.
"Impossible, how can there be ghosts in this world, ghosts and gods are just nonsense. Shaoxia, do you say yes? ”
Seeing the anticipation in Ning Rong's eyes, Xiao Wu lost the bad taste that he originally wanted to scare him, and nodded and said.
"Yes, that person is a human being, not a ghost, but he is pretending to be a ghost here to harm people, and the rumor of the broken temple haunted in the city originated from her. ”
Hearing Xiao Wu's words, Ning Rong stroked his chest and breathed a sigh of relief, but Xiao Wu's words changed.
"However, that person eats the brains of living people and practices magic skills, does it matter whether he is a human or a ghost. ”
"There are such things in the world!"
Ning Rong obviously couldn't accept Grandma's practice with a living human brain.
"I've only heard that at the end of the Sui Dynasty, there were Ma Shumou and Zhu Cang who liked to eat people, I thought it was just empty talk, but I didn't expect that there was such a scourge in the world!"
Seeing Ning Rong's angry look, Xiao Wu couldn't help but say.
"It's okay for Brother Ning not to believe in ghosts and gods, but why do you want to risk your life, as the saying goes, a gentleman does not stand under a dangerous wall, and there are many people in the city to dissuade him, but Brother Ning still went to this broken temple to spend the night, if he didn't know the true face of this 'female ghost' and came to ambush her, Brother Ning would be more auspicious tonight. ”
Xiao Wu was originally reluctant to say much to Ning Rong, but he couldn't help but say it. A few words made Ning Rong's face red, and Ning Rong immediately clenched his fists and said.
"The lesson of the young man is that he blames Xiaosheng for insisting on going his own way, thinking that after reading a few sage books, he has a heroic righteousness, and all evils retreat, but he has fallen into a self-righteous problem, with no eyes left, and no room for other people's words in his ears. Today's events are really like a slap in the face, and I finally came to my senses, and I would like to thank the young man for saving me. ”
Ning Rong, who was sitting on the ground as he spoke, stood up and bowed deeply to Xiao Wu.
Seeing Ning Rong like this, Xiao Wu hurriedly held him up and hurriedly said in his mouth.
"Brother Ning doesn't have to be like this, he is still ashamed to say that he used Brother Ning as bait, causing Brother Ning to be in danger, and he should not be a big gift from Brother Ning. ”
Ning Rong, who was supported by Xiao Wu, smiled freely.
"Then you and I are even?"
"Hah, it's flat. ”
