Chapter 22: The Butterfly Strikes (Part I)
Some of the medicinal materials in the dark room were missing, which was no longer enough to support Wu Yixiu's medicinal bath method, and it was urgent to go to the town to replenish the inventory.
The two went to the town again, Lin Xingyu strongly objected, after all, the skin changed from blue to green, in case people saw that they thought they were practicing some evil skills or were arrested and killed by the government to show the public, it would be too wrong.
Wu Yixiu saw that Lin Xingyu didn't go, worried that if he was left to wreak havoc in the secret passage and harm his treasure, it would be worth the loss, so he said that he would take him with him.
The two tossed for a long time, and in the end, Lin Xingyu's stone was lost to Wu Yi's cloth, so he reluctantly went out.
Walking all the way to the gate of the town, Wu Yixiu saw that the familiar guards were still sticking to their posts, and motioned to Lin Xingyu to wait and go up to solve it himself.
The two guards saw the two of them from a distance, and their faces were full of bitterness, and the whole head was bigger, "Why are you here again, no matter how delicious the food in the town is, you can't eat it all the time, it's okay to eat it all the time, the problem is that we don't have the money to keep giving it."
Wu Yi adjusted his clothes, walked up to the two guards, raised his hand, and stopped what the two wanted to say.
"The blue-faced butcher has been killed by me halfway.,I'm going to go to the city to receive the reward.,By the way, report the merits of the two.,Who knows that the blue-faced butcher's fellow party.,The green-faced butcher was touched by me again.,But fortunately, the green-faced butcher's mystical skills are very common.,IQ is also defective.,Only responsible for some liaison work on weekdays.,So the two don't need to worry.。 I am about to trick him into telling the whereabouts of all his comrades, and when the time comes, I will catch them all and eliminate the harm to the world. ”
"Exactly, exactly, real people...."One of the guards wanted to boast, but he didn't know how to describe it, and stopped halfway through his words.
"Chivalrous and courageous. The other guard rolled his eyes and quickly answered.
"You're welcome. ”
The two entered the city smoothly, the town was not big, Lin Xingyu walked in front by himself, and Wu Yixiu turned back frequently, which made Lin Xingyu inexplicably nervous, and he didn't say anything when he asked what was going on.
The town Chinese medicine hall is even smaller, but fortunately, all Wu Yixiu needs are some standing medicinal materials, which are quickly available.
After dispensing the medicine, Lin Xingyu grabbed Wu Yixiu and went back to configure the antidote, and resolutely refused to let him go to the restaurant to 'eat a meal'.
Wu Yixiu couldn't resist Lin Xingyu, so he had to turn back.
Out of the town, Wu Yixiu walked very slowly, stop-and-go, according to the previous speed, it only took a quarter of an hour to reach the wooden house halfway up the mountain, it was already a quarter of an hour, and the two of them hadn't even finished half of the way.
On the path to the end, Wu Yixiu turned around and stood there quietly, staring at the town below the mountain, with a solemn expression, listening carefully to the sound of the mountain wind caressing in his ears, and there were occasionally one or two people entering and leaving the gate of the town.
'No.............................. What's wrong, what's wrong?' Wu Yixiu pondered.
Lin Xingyu thought that he didn't let Wu Yixiu eat, which caused him to feel unhappy, after all, he was an authentic foodie, and he was a little unhappy in his heart, so he didn't urge, and stood silently next to him.
Wu Yixiu thought about it for a long time, but he didn't understand what was wrong, it was a subconscious feeling that made him feel different.
Since you can't think of it for a while, let's go back and think slowly.
The two returned to the tunnel, Wu Yixiu asked Lin Xingyu to go to the dark room first, and he stayed at the entrance for a long time.
They have already come back, and Wu Yixiu is not in a hurry to configure the antidote, Lin Xingyu walked around the dark room boredly, casually punched the wall, and kicked a few kicks from various angles, "Well, the strength is better controlled, the flesh is much stronger, and the flexibility of the body is very good." Can I kick out this kind of tricky angle?' Thinking of this, Lin Xingyu adjusted his body by himself, posed as a horse, his body was one hundred and eighty degrees to the left, and his hands were wrapped behind his head.
"I was able to make the first pose by myself!!
Hahahaha, I'm such a genius. ”
Lin Xingyu found that the first posture of the fourth style of "Shenwu Balu" could be made without help, although it hurt, it was acceptable and endurable.
Then try to do the second, third, fourth...... The posture, try one by one, the more difficult it is, the more painful it is, and even then, it is a hundred, a thousand times less painful than the first time.
Wu Yixiu brought a bowl of medicine, stood quietly at the door, and carefully watched every action Lin Xingyu made, until the last action Lin Xingyu really couldn't do it, he made a move and helped adjust it.
After doing all the movements, Lin Xingyu was already sweating, but the excitement in his eyes was difficult to hide.
"Antidote, eat it, the color should fade in a few days. ”
Lin Xingyu quickly drank the medicine, there was not a drop left, and he licked the bowl cleanly, and the effect of drinking one more drop of medicine would be faster!
'Yes, color!!' Wu Yixiu had a flash of inspiration, his eyes were deep, and he carefully recalled the events of the day. In the past, every time I went to the town, ordinary people would definitely look back and look twice when they saw Lin Xingyu's dress, twist around and bring up the sound of clothes rubbing, slow down, and even stop to look back, there are several people on the road today who did not look back, as if they did not see Lin Xingyu's strange complexion, deliberately hidden, there must be a problem, they should not be ordinary people....... What is the intention?...... No one came with you out of town...... Wait and see how it gets better'
"Rest, in the past few days, you continue to practice the fourth form of "Shenwu Balu", and call me again if you have something. ”
"What is the fourth form of Xiaocheng?"
"I don't know. ”
Wu Yixiu did not walk towards the depths of the tunnel as before, but went to the entrance.
After a night without incident, Lin Xingyu tirelessly practiced the fourth form. The first time he practiced, he could only complete two movements a day, and with the strong help of Wu Yixiu, now Lin Xingyu can practice on his own, and he can complete the practice of four movements a day.
After four days without incident, Wu Yixiu occasionally showed up in the past few days, and he didn't know where he went at other times. Lin Xingyu used the force of the bed and the wall to help him make the last movement. After completing the first round of sixteen movements, he was exhausted, wiped his face briefly, and fell into a deep sleep.
In the middle of the night, it was silent, Lin Xingyu's slight snoring was particularly clear in the tunnel, and Wu Yixiu lay in the dark room next door and pretended to sleep.
There was a slight sound at the entrance of the tunnel, muffled by intermittent snoring, but even so, it did not escape Wu Yixiu's ears.
In the darkness, Wu Yixiu opened his eyes and stood quietly in the corridor, staring closely at the depths of the dark and boundless corridor.
The dark and lightless corridor is like the mouth of an abyssal beast, swallowing countless lives to fill its belly.
After a while, the sound of the silk disappeared completely, and there was no more sound, Wu Yixiu still stood there motionless, his breathing accompanied by the undulating snoring became slower and slower, lighter and lighter, and gradually stopped breathing, his heartbeat became slower and slower, lighter and lighter, and slowly his heartbeat stopped, and even the blood in his body gradually coagulated and stopped flowing, as if it was a lifeless statue, his eyes locked on the depths of darkness, looking through the void.
As Lin Xingyu turned over, the slight snoring also stopped, and the corridor was silent and cold.
As the minutes ticked by, he waited, waiting for any sound that didn't belong here, the rubbing of clothes, footsteps, breathing, heartbeat, and so on.
No, there was no sound, dead silence, and there seemed to be no one else except Lin Xingyu.
A quarter of an hour.
Two quarters of an hour.
Three quarters of an hour.
Four quarters of an hour.
Still silent.
"Whew~~" Wu Yixiu let out a long breath and quickly fell backwards. There was a sound of breaking the air in the air, and the feather arrow flew against his forehead, and the arrow body was wrapped in a wave of qi and rolled like a knife, sweeping Wu Yixiu's cheek, bringing up a bloodshot sprinkled in the air.
Wu Yixiu slapped his right hand on the ground, and a stone slab one person high and three inches thick stood up from under his feet, and immediately rushed into the house, grabbed Lin Xingyu and ran towards the depths of the corridor.
"Ah~" A scream just came out, but it was stopped by the sound of a "poof" sword piercing the heart.
The occasional screams are just up and down, and the people who come are merciless, even if they are their own people.
Lin Xingyu was awakened, seeing that he was being sandwiched by Wu Yixiu, walking like flying, the corridor was dark and lightless, and the visual distance was extremely short, listening to the faint screams behind him, knowing that things were extraordinary, he calmed down and curled up his body, so that Wu Yixiu could play in the narrow space.
'Wu Yixiu has not been in the dark room most of the time these days, thinking that he is setting a trap at the entrance, how does he know that someone will attack and kill, when will he find out the clues? Who is going to kill him? If Wu Yixiu is caught, will I also die? What is the place deep in the tunnel? Can I get out?' Lin Xingyu was full of thoughts, and felt that Wu Yixiu was running too slowly, although he couldn't shoot the horse, but it didn't affect him to feel slow at all.
The killer behind him used his life to find a way to chase and kill, and everyone who fell into the trap was pierced through the heart by a sword, and I don't know how many people died, but they still chased after the two without hesitation.
Lin Xingyu heard the footsteps behind him gradually approaching from a distance, and the distance slowly shortened.
"There is the exit not far ahead, and when you get out, you run straight into the forest outside the town, and I'll keep them at bay. Wu Yixiu said in a very low voice as he ran.
"Where do we meet?"
"You go home first, and I'll find you. After speaking, Wu Yixiu stuffed a package into Lin Xingyu's arms.
Wu Yixiu lowered his head and jumped from time to time, moving left and right, obviously dodging the trap laid before.
Finally, at the end of the tunnel, they suddenly jumped and flew into the overhead baffle, and their vision suddenly opened up, and the two appeared near the low southeast wall of the town.
The moon is in the sky, the stars are twinkling, the east is a plain, not suitable for hiding, and the west is a forest, which has certain benefits for Lin Xingyu to hide, the only problem is that the entrance to the town is in the middle, and it is guarded day and night, which will inevitably be exposed. I didn't care so much, as soon as I landed and discerned the direction, I ran towards the forest according to what Wu Yixiu said.
