Chapter Ninety-Seven: A Gamble of Life and Death
Since that day, for three consecutive days, there has been no movement on the Canghai Lan Lake, which made Qiu Xin and the others begin to wonder if what Luo Sheng said was just an expedient measure to save Li Ling'er.
But after thinking about it, this will not do them any good, and after a long time, they will see through it, so they did not do it again.
And Li Ling'er didn't say a word to a few people since that night, and when Qiuxin grilled the fish, she stepped aside, didn't speak, and took the grilled fish and walked aside.
And Shi Weihu's injury gradually improved, with Daoba to heal his injuries every day, his left arm could be moved, and Luo Sheng's injury was more serious than Shi Weihu's, but he got better quickly, and he walked back and forth on the shore of the isolated island during the day, and it seemed that he was also waiting for someone to save him.
The weather in June was unusually hot, even if it was by the lake, the temperature was very high, and the Daoba people originally planned to bring Shan Sanniang's body back to Kuizhou for burial, but now this situation does not allow them to do so.
After a long time, the corpse will decompose, and although several people are extremely reluctant, they also cremated their corpses and only put away the ashes, and Li Ling'er and Luo Sheng also witnessed this scene on the side.
Looking at the sad expressions of several people, Qiu Xin didn't know how to comfort him, the partial murderer was next to him, if he hadn't taken care of the overall situation, I am afraid that he would have killed Luo Sheng and the others a long time ago, and Shi Weihu and the others also endured and endured.
Dusk fell, still did not wait for any results, the lake surface was unusual, blowing a strong wind, it stands to reason that there is a swallow gorge to isolate the wind and sand of the three unique deserts in the west, it should not blow here.
At this time, the sky was covered with dark clouds, which seemed to be pressing towards the isolated island, and the big trees on the island were also blown and swayed, and several people retreated from the flat ground to a deeper place before avoiding it.
But at this time, Li Ling'er and Luo Sheng disappeared and did not come in with them, Shi Weihu shouted loudly, "Look at this ghost weather, it may be raining, those two people won't take advantage of the chaos to run." ”
"No, such a big wind and waves, entering the lake is to send them to death, and these two people are not stupid to that extent. As soon as Dao Ba's words fell, he heard a loud scream coming from behind several people.
Several people immediately turned their heads to look, only to see that it was dark, and after a few breaths, Li Ling'er and Luo Sheng ran out of the woods in horror.
The two didn't know the strange situation in the forest, so they rushed in, presumably because they got lost and suffered a big loss, and only then walked out, Li Ling'er didn't stop, and actually ran outside.
Luo Sheng followed, he had been steady and calm, but he was also very frightened at this time, and shouted as he ran, "You guys should also run away, it is the Netherworld Ghost King." ”
Kong Xiangyu's face changed greatly when he heard this, he glanced at Dao Ba, and said at the same time, "Let's hide." ”
The few people returned to the clearing, ran around the shore of the island for a long time before stopping, found a hidden place, and after hiding it, Dao Hachi spoke, "I didn't expect that we had not yet reached the Dark Forest before we met the Netherworld Ghost King. ”
The ghost king is the biggest murderous thing in this dark forest, condensing obscurity and giving birth to real things, producing five internal organs, gathering three souls and seven spirits, bloodthirsty, the most terrifying thing is that this kind of ghost king often lives in the place where ghosts gather, the ghost king comes out, and all the ghosts follow.
No wonder this forest is so strange, there are not even any animals or birds in it, it is lifeless, and it may have been driven away and killed by these ghosts.
This time, Li Ling'er and Luo Sheng rashly entered the woods and led out the ghost king, although Qiu Xin and a few people hid here, but the ghost king was sensitive to the breath of living beings, and they found this place in a short time.
Qiu Xin had only heard of the Ghost King, and at this time, it seemed that the Ghost King was about two people tall, in the form of a human, or more like an orangutan, with limbs, red hair all over his body, and red bloodthirsty eyes that did not stop looking around, but there was no ghost behind him.
Shi Weihu said in a low voice, "It's the only one, what are we afraid of, kill it if there is no imp." Kong Xiangyu immediately covered Shi Weihu's mouth, but it was too late.
I saw that the tall ghost king turned his head to look here, and strode towards a few people, the red long hair was blown by the strong wind, it was very powerful, it seemed that Shi Weihu had exposed the location of several people.
Seeing this, Qiu Xin immediately urged the leading plate to hide several figures in the bushes, and the ghost king who was running suddenly stopped, sniffed around, but did not see any movement, so he roared and left the place.
At this time, in the small space composed of the hidden spirit disk, Kong Xiangyu slowly explained, "Although this thing is called the ghost king, it is a real thing, although it has internal organs, and the mental consciousness is not bad, but its internal organs are all obscure, and it cannot be killed at all."
It can only break up its body, but it will be regrouped, and with this characteristic, this ghost king can constantly change his body form, and move more quickly in this gale, we are not opponents at all. ”
At this time, Qiu Xin said while converging the true qi into the hidden spirit plate in front of him, "We are not short away from that clearing, this ghost king actually found this place directly, it seems that its feeling for the breath of living beings is still expected." ”
Dao Hachi frowned when he heard this, "Brother Qiu means ......"
Qiu Xin took a deep breath and said, "Although I don't know if this Hidden Spirit Disk can hide from the Ghost King, Li Ling'er and Luo Sheng will definitely not be able to escape, if they die here, then what?"
"Brother Qiu, we can't protect ourselves, and it doesn't matter what they do, it's better to die, and it can be regarded as revenge for Sanniang. Shi Weihu didn't seem to be worried about Luo Sheng and the others at all, so he said.
"That's not the case, if Li Ling'er and Luo Shengsheng are here, if according to what they say, the people of the Canglan Sect really come here, they will definitely think that we killed the two of them, and then Mo said that he would not take us away, even if he killed us, it is unknown. ”
Although Kong Xiangyu wanted to kill Li Ling'er very much to take revenge, he did not have the impulse that day and was quite calm. But Shi Weihu didn't think so, and then refuted.
"Let's just say that the Netherworld Ghost King killed the two of them, could it be that the people of the Canglan Sect are so unreasonable?" Shi Weihu has a straightforward personality, so he naturally can't understand it.
Dao Ba listened and explained, "This is exactly what we are worried about, we know the secret of the Canglan faction, even if we don't kill Li Ling'er, but according to Li Mingxuan's favor for him, I'm afraid that he will use this as an excuse to kill the killer." ”
Shi Weihu shook his head puzzled, "Brother Dao, like you said, this Li Ling'er is alive, her father will not let us go, if she is dead, her father will not let us go, then we can't wait for death here." ”
Dao Hachi then added, "We bet on whether Li Mingxuan dares to kill us, so there will be two situations.
The first situation is that Li Ling'er died, the anger of the death of her beloved daughter, and we learned about the snake Jiao, so we didn't do it, and we didn't stop killing us.
Even if the head of the dart learned that we had lost a trace in the land of Zhuozhou, he would definitely guess that the Canglan faction did it, so he would attack the Canglan faction again.
At this time, Li Mingxuan will deduct Li Ling'er's death on our heads, and say that our death is revenge for the woman, plus this matter has become a fact, and the head of the dart is also speechless, so it is very good to cover up the matter of the snake Jiao, killing two birds with one stone. ”
Kong Xiangyu also said when he heard this, "The second situation is that we rescue Li Ling'er at this time, so even if Li Mingxuan wants to kill us again, he must also consider the double nine dart game behind us."
At this time, the head of the dart will have a legitimate excuse to ask the three sects to restart the puja, and at that time, he will definitely send someone to Canghai Lanhu to inspect, and the secret of the Canglan faction will be revealed to the world, presumably Li Mingxuan will not take this risk.
If we are spared, we will also hide this time, which can be regarded as the best of both worlds. ”
Shi Weihu still felt that it was inappropriate, and said, "No, if that's the case, won't Sanniang die in vain?"
Dao Ba sighed when he heard this, "There is no way to do this, I can only wait until I get to Kuizhou, and then explain this matter to the head of the dart, according to the character of the head of the dart, it will definitely make trouble in Canglan Mountain, and then they can give us an explanation, and they will not hand over Li Ling'er at that time."
The head of the dart will not rashly fight with the forces of the three sects and twelve factions for the sake of Sanniang, and may settle the matter, but this is also the most compromise approach. ”
It can be seen that Kong Xiangyu and Dao Ba are very helpless, but they can't be impulsive at this time, the two of them also know the reason, Shi Weihu also understood when he heard it, and didn't speak again.
But Qiu Xin listened to it for a long time, although what the two said was reasonable, but it was also based on the fact that Li Mingxuan would not kill a few people, and Li Ling'er was still alive.
In other words, the life and death of several people are still in Li Mingxuan's thoughts, so Dao Bacai called this matter a gamble of life and death, but Qiu Xin didn't like this feeling that life and death were controlled by others.
Just like in the grotto, he was coerced by the black-clothed protector, Li Daolin and several people coerced him with life and death, although in the end the silver-faced man released himself according to his words, but the black-clothed protector did not forget to break his limbs, and this sense of powerlessness made him very uncomfortable.
Now, he is hovering on the edge of life and death, it is in response to the words of the Taoist priest of Los Angeles, this trip is unpredictable, and he didn't expect that what he met was a big murderous elephant, and when he thought of this, Qiu Xin felt bitter in his heart.
But there was nothing he could do, so he asked, "Brother Dao, will we go out now?"
Dao Eight thought for a moment and muttered, "If the Ghost King hasn't left at this time, it will be even more dangerous for us to go out rashly, so let's wait a while." ”
Several people waited for a pillar of incense, and they didn't know what was going on outside the shield, but if it was too late, it would be too late for the ghost king to eat Li Ling'er and the others.
Qiu Xin stopped and sent true qi to the hidden spirit plate and dispersed the shield.
Seeing that there was no shadow of the ghost king around, several people breathed a sigh of relief and walked out of the hidden bushes, it seemed that they were hiding in the barrier of the hidden spirit plate to build the city and not be discovered.
At this time, the wind on the lake is even louder, I don't know where Li Ling'er and Luo Sheng are?
