Chapter 40
Zhang Chengling felt dizzy, probably because the scorpion poison had started to take effect. There was a rumbling sound in his ears, like thunder, and the surrounding sounds were separated by a layer of veil. He could hear it, but it was a bit different.
real.
He followed the direction of the arrow, turned his face, and saw two men.
The man holding a small crossbow in his hand was dressed in a navy blue robe with long sleeves and elegant skirts. A palm-wide belt was tied around his waist, and a white jade flute was pinned next to him. He didn't look like a Jianghu person or a person.
The scholar seems to be a pampered gentry official. His peach-like eyes seem to contain a slight smile at first glance, but if you look closely, the gaze looking at the last poisonous scorpion...
But there was a slight cold glow.
Zhang Chengling thought vaguely, this person... is really the most handsome person he has ever seen.
Next to him was another man, dressed in black, with a small mink squatting on his shoulder and a cold-looking face.
The poisonous scorpion warrior seemed to hesitate for a moment, and then rushed towards the man holding the crossbow like an arrow from the string. Zhang Chengling only felt an indescribable cold wind blowing past his ears, and he didn't know it yet.
What happened, the poisonous scorpion became a dead scorpion.
Just now, she was looking at the man in black who was some distance away, but she was at his side in the blink of an eye, bent down, picked up his bleeding hand, looked at it, reached out and touched several of his acupuncture points, and then put it into his mouth.
He stuffed a pill into it and said, "Swallow it, it's scorpion poison."
Zhang Chengling didn't care about anything else, she just grabbed the corner of his clothes and said: "Sister Gu...Xiang...please save..."
The Huayin he spoke with all his strength became blurry when it reached his mouth. Unexpectedly, the man in a robe next to him was stunned for a moment, but he actually understood it, and asked softly: "You asked us to help you
To save people? Where?"
Zhang Chengling stretched out a finger, pointed in the direction he came from, and said: "Sister Gu...save...her, save...save..."
The man in black raised his head and glanced at his companion, only to hear the man in the robe say: "Hurry up and go."
The man in black took the little mink off his shoulders, threw it into his arms, and said, "Be careful, I'll be right back."
Then he turned around and seemed to disappear. Zhang Chengling stared longingly at the direction where his back disappeared, as if he was looking forward to seeing him. The man in the robe helped him sit upright and ordered: "Close your eyes, concentrate, don't think nonsense, I will save you first."
I will spend my life thinking about other things."
Zhang Chengling knew that it was useless to worry, so he closed his eyes as he was told. The little mink came out of the man's arms, huddled up, and sniffed around him. There was a faint smell of blood in the air.
There was also a very fine smell of incense on his clothes. In this smell, Zhang Chengling gradually lost consciousness.
When he woke up, it was completely dark. The numb feeling on Zhang Chengling's body had faded along with the scorpion poison. Then he slowly got up, feeling a little dazed for a while, unable to remember what he was doing.
What happened? I heard the girl next to me shout: "Ah, you're awake!"
Zhang Chengling turned around overjoyed and saw that although Gu Xiang looked a little embarrassed, he was still beard and tail, and the wounds on his body had been taken care of. He was sitting next to a fire to keep warm. At this time, a calloused
He stretched out his hand, put his fingers on Zhang Chengling's veins, held it for a while, then let him go and said, "The poison is gone."
The man who checked his pulse was the man in black. When he saw Zhang Chengling looking over with curious eyes, he ignored him and just nodded, leaning his pen upright under a tree. His face with deep features never changed.
From the side, it looked like it was carved out of stone. Zhang Chengling found that Gu Xiang's eyes were full of awe when he looked at this man, as if he had restrained his innate way of shouting and speaking.
Then he said in a clumsy tongue: "Thank you... Thank you two heroes for saving my life."
When the man in black heard this, he just nodded slightly and said, "No need." He stopped looking at him and turned to look in another direction.
Zhang Chengling followed his gaze and saw the robed man holding a crossbow in the daytime approaching with a pile of firewood. When the man in black was about to stand up, Gu Xiang ran over first.
He took the firewood and said, "Master Qi, please sit down. I can do these things. Why do you do the work yourself? Originally, I also worked as a maid for others..."
The "Seventh Master" in her mouth smiled when he heard this and his peach-blossom eyes widened. Gu Xiang took the firewood and sat next to the man in black. The man in black took out a very small warm hand from nowhere.
The hand stove was stuffed into his hand with ease, and he plucked off a dead leaf from his sleeve. I don't know if it was Zhang Chengling's imagination, but he felt that the man in black seemed to have transformed from a lifeless piece of wood in an instant.
The stone turned into a human being with flesh and blood, and even his eyes warmed up.
The two of them didn't talk much, but there was an indescribable intimacy and tacit understanding between them.
Master Qi looked at Zhang Chengling and asked, "Are you feeling better?"
His voice was not high, but it was very pleasant. Zhang Chengling didn't know why, but he suddenly blushed, lowered his head, nodded silently, but couldn't help but secretly raise his eyes, wanting to see him one more time - I met him in the restaurant that day
The woman who arrived was also very beautiful, but Zhang Chengling suddenly felt that compared to this person, that woman's face was like a painting on a piece of paper, looking artificial and thin.
Master Qi asked again: "What's your last name? Those people..."
Before Zhang Chengling could react, Gu Xiang, who was adding firewood to the fire, crackled: "He is my brother, so naturally his surname is Gu. The two of us are doing small jobs for the master's family. I
When she is a girl, she is a servant. Who knows that the master's family is in trouble, and he doesn't know where he is from. He insists on driving out all of us who are servants. It is really a lack of great virtue. There will be no children in the future.
□, thanks to you two..."
The man in black raised his head and glanced at her, and Gu Xiang couldn't continue talking. He only looked around with his big, gurgling eyes.
She was talking nonsense, but Master Qi didn't share her knowledge, so he continued in a pleasant manner: "You are all injured, and I should have taken you to the inn, but this little girl said that there were people chasing people in the city and it was not safe, so
I have no choice but to stay here for the night and make plans tomorrow morning. Do you two have somewhere else to go?"
His words were soft and gentle, unhurried, as if coaxing two very small children. Zhang Chengling listened and suddenly felt aggrieved. He thought, where else can he go?
His father died a long time ago, and so did his whole family. Now, both good and bad guys are trying to catch him. He is like a frightened bird, his wings are almost broken when he flies, but the world is so big that he can’t find a place to stay.
In this place, the circles under his eyes turned red, and he became depressed and silent.
Gu Xiang thought for a while and said: "My master and this boy's master were originally going to meet us, but unexpectedly a group of people suddenly appeared to chase us. Now they ran out in a panic, and I don't know if they can find them."
We can’t be found…”
Zhang Chengling thought of Cao Weining and added smartly: "There is also Brother Cao. I asked a few weirdos to arrest him."
Gu Xiang immediately threw it away with his eyes and warned Zhang Chengling, the little idiot, not to talk nonsense. Unexpectedly, Zhang Chengling was minding his own business there, confused and distracted, and failed to receive the message. He heard Qi Ye ask: "What kind of weirdo?
"
Zhang Chengling said honestly: "A dwarf and a giant, and an old man and woman dressed in colorful clothes."
Gu Xiang rolled his eyes and looked up at the stars, wishing he could beat Zhang Chengling unconscious again.
Master Qi seemed unfamiliar with the people in the martial arts world. He was stunned and asked, "Who is that?"
Just listen to the man in black on the side say: "The Lord of the Earth granted Xiaofeng and Gaoshan Nu, colorful... I guess he met Taohong Po and Liulu Gong."
He shot Zhang Chengling with lightning-like eyes and said coldly: "Although they are not good people, they are proud of their status and will never hang out with poisonous scorpions. Why are they chasing you all the way?"
When Zhang Chengling was glanced at by him, he felt as if a cold stone was stuck in his chest, and he choked at that moment.
But Master Qi laughed and said, "Little poison, don't scare the children." When the man in black heard this, he honestly lowered his eyes, as if the old monk had fallen into trance, and stopped paying attention to Zhang Chengling and the others.
Master Qi paused for a moment on the anxious Gu Xiang, then turned to Zhang Chengling and suddenly asked: "Child, let me ask you, is your master's surname Zhou?"
Gu Xiang was afraid that Zhang Chengling would say something again, so he quickly said: "Wrong, his master's surname is not 'Porridge', but 'Tang'. He is a wretched and lustful old man!"
Unexpectedly, her pig-like comrade-in-arms Zhang Chengling frowned and looked over, and said to her righteously: "My master is not a wretched and lustful old man, you are talking nonsense!"
Gu Xiang's fingers were about to move, wanting to strangle him to death and then quickly.
But Master Qi shook his head and laughed out loud: "Where did such an eccentric little girl come from? Come on, we are not bad people. After all, your master Zhou was still a good friend of mine in the past."
Gu Xiang rolled his eyes and asked, "Tell me, what is his master's name and what does he look like?"
Master Qi said: "His master's surname is Zhou, his given name is Zi..."
He suddenly paused, narrowed his peach blossom eyes, and thought for a moment, thinking to himself, Zhou Zishu is used to hiding his head and showing his tail, so he definitely won't use his real name, so what will he be like?
When he raised his eyes, he saw Gu Xiang looking at him with a pair of big eyes without blinking. He felt funny in his heart. He didn't expect to be questioned by such a little girl. However, suddenly, an idea flashed in his mind and he blurted out: "
His name is Zhou Xu, right? Xu, whose body is like floating clouds and his heart is like flying catkins, also has a brother named Zhou Yun. What does he look like... I don't know what he looks like now. He is used to changing his appearance.
But there has never been any progress, and he has changed over and over again, but he is still just a slutty man with a green complexion, right?"
He couldn't figure out whether Zhou Zishu's pseudonym would be "Zhou Yun" or "Zhou Xu". He thought that there were only a few people with that person's temperament, so he made some half-truthful nonsense.
Gu Xiang was really fooled by him and said half-believingly: "Huh? Does Zhou Xu have any brothers?"
She has known Zhou Zishu for such a long time, and even though she heard Wen Kexing say that he might be a high-ranking person in Tianluo, she still found him mysterious. Where did he come from, where did he go, and what sect he was from.
I don't know, I've never heard that he has a brother.
Another thought, of the two people in front of her, the one in blue is hard to say, but the man in black is really a rare master in her life. Even if the master is here, he is just a brother and he wants to harm her and Zhang Chengling, it is almost like
It's so easy to crush two bugs to death. There's really no need to lie, so I really believe it in my heart.
When Master Qi saw that he had frightened these two little devils, he lowered his eyes, looked at the fire that was rising and falling, and laughed silently.
So the next day, Gu Xiang took Zhang Chengling and walked with the two men all the way, carefully avoiding the eyes and ears of others. The seventh master took the two of them to a bank, where the shopkeeper and a long man behind him
The head of the house, who looked like dough, immediately came out to welcome him and respectfully called him "Master" and "Great Witch".
Master Qi settled the two of them down, took some snacks to eat with them, then sat aside and played chess with the man in black with great interest, just killing the time. At noon, the head of the bank saw
Suddenly he came in and said to Master Qi: "Young Master Zhou has been found. He will be here soon."
