save the bachelors

Chapter 4309 4311 [Midnight Flute Sound]

Xiang Nan then used Apparition to leave Yang Gong's treasure house and return to the deserted village.

As soon as I returned to the house, I heard the sound of a flute coming from afar.

Xiang Nan was stunned. He realized that it was Shi Feixuan, the successor of Cihang Jingzhai. In order to prevent Xu Ziling from being bewitched by Kankan, she played the flute to break her devilish sound.

Xiang Nan nodded, then sat cross-legged on the kang, silently reciting the "An Xin Sutra" to clear the evil spirits from his body.

He had just absorbed a large amount of energy from the evil emperor's relics. These energies contained demonic nature, which could make people go astray and fall into the devil's way, becoming cruel, bloodthirsty, heartless, and murderous demons.

In order to avoid being affected by it, Xiang Nan must recite the "Peace of Mind Sutra" to eliminate the evil nature in his body, so as not to fall into the devil's way and become a demon.

While listening to Master Feixuan's flute music and reciting the "Peace of Mind Sutra", the effect was very good.

Originally, after Xiang Nan absorbed the energy of the Evil Emperor's relics, he couldn't help but feel restless and upset. He always felt uncomfortable in his heart and his thoughts were confused. He wanted to shout, jump and make a noise, or even kill people indiscriminately to feel comfortable.

He knew that he had become slightly possessed, so he did not dare to continue absorbing the energy from the Evil Emperor's relics.

Now, as he recited the "Peace of Mind Sutra" and listened to Shi Feixuan's melodious, pleasant and refreshing flute music, his mind gradually calmed down and his annoyance was relieved a lot.

……

The next day, early in the morning, Xiang Nan walked out of the room.

When I came out, I saw that Kankan and Xu Ziling had already gotten up.

"Master Zhong, Master Ling, I just boiled some hot water. You can wash your faces first." Kanan said with a smile.

"Thank you, Miss Kankan." Xiang Nan nodded.

"Mr. Zhong, did you hear the flute sound last night?" Xu Ziling asked Xiang Nan quietly.

"What flute sound? I was too tired last night and fell asleep as soon as I lay down." Xiang Nan waved his hand and said, "Why, did you hear the flute sound?"

"Not only that, I also saw a white shadow flash by outside the window." Xu Ziling said with eyes wide open, "but it disappeared in the blink of an eye."

"Wow, so bizarre, is this a ghost?" Xiang Nan said in surprise.

"No way? Are there ghosts in this world?" Xu Ziling shook his head.

"It's hard to say. There are gods, so it's not surprising to have ghosts." Xiang Nan curled his lips and said, "Don't forget, we are living in a deserted village now. Who knows why it became deserted.

Maybe it was a plague, maybe it was famine, maybe it was bandits, maybe it was a war... There must have been a lot of deaths, so it wouldn't be surprising if there were ghosts."

"Wow, you're getting more and more weird. Don't scare me." Xu Ziling's face turned pale when he heard him say that.

"Okay, I won't scare you anymore." Xiang Nan smiled and said, "We are upright and have never harmed anyone. Even if there really is a ghost, it will be blamed and it won't be us.

Besides, we will be on the road soon, so we won’t be afraid even if there are ghosts in the village.”

"That's true." Xu Ziling nodded.

……

After washing up, the three of them continued on their journey.

In the morning, they walked more than a hundred miles.

At noon, the three of them found a place to rest, and then ate some wild fruits they picked on the way to satisfy their hunger.

"If we continue like this, we will reach Pengcheng in three days," Xiang Nan analyzed.

"That's great. This way, Miss Kankan won't have to follow us anymore." Xu Ziling said with a smile.

"Mr. Ling, I'm not afraid of hard work. In fact, I'm very happy to be with you guys." Kanan said quickly.

"Even so, we don't want to drag you down." Xiang Nan waved his hand and said, "To be honest with Miss Kankan, Young Master Ling and I have offended not only Ren Shaoming, but also the Right Guard General and Commander of the Imperial Guards Yu Wenzhi. He must be sending people to look for us now, so if you follow us, you will suffer even if you are a wanted criminal of the court." "That's right, it's bad enough for us to be unlucky ourselves, and we don't want to drag you down with us." Xu Ziling also nodded.

"It's okay, I'm not afraid." Kanan said quickly.

"You are not afraid, but we are." Xiang Nan waved his hand. "You are not from the underworld, so you don't know how dangerous it is. Ling Shao and I have special skills, but we were chased like rabbits. You, a weak woman, are in even greater danger.

You have the loyalty to follow us, but we cannot ignore your life or death. Ling Shao, do you think I am right?"

Xu Ziling nodded.

Because he and Xiang Nan were in possession of the secret book of "The Secret of Immortality", they were now the target of public criticism. Not only Yu Wenzhi and Ren Shaoming were looking for them, but probably many people in the martial arts world were looking for them.

By then, it wouldn't matter if they died, since they had only one life left and it was a blessing to be alive now. But it would be a pity if Xianxian was implicated by them.

They all felt bad.

Hearing them say this, Kanan was somewhat moved.

……

After resting for a while, the three continued on their journey.

At night, he lived in a dilapidated mountain temple.

We had pheasant stewed with mushrooms for dinner.

The pheasant was hit by Xiang Nan using a stone, the mushrooms were picked by Kankan from the road, the water was fetched by Xu Ziling, and the pot for cooking was the broken incense burner in front of the mountain god.

The tender pheasant meat paired with fresh mushrooms tasted very delicious. Xiang Nan, Xu Ziling and Kankan all enjoyed the meal very much.

But after eating, Kanan suddenly covered her head and said, "Master Zhong, Master Ling, I feel so dizzy~" and then fainted.

Xiang Nan and Xu Ziling looked at each other, both with panic on their faces, "Could it be... that the mushrooms are poisonous..."

Kou Zhong and Xu Ziling traveled extensively throughout the year and often went hungry, so they ate whatever they could find, such as mushrooms, wild vegetables, elm seeds, locust flowers, and even tree bark, grass roots, and Guanyin soil. They naturally knew that many mushrooms were poisonous.

But they didn't expect that they were so unlucky as to pick poisonous mushrooms.

Before he could finish his words, Xu Ziling rolled his eyes and fainted on the ground. Xiang Nan also fell to the ground.

After the two of them fainted, Kanan, who had just fainted, woke up immediately. She looked at Xiang Nan and Xu Ziling lying on the ground and smiled victoriously.

"Hmph, although you are smart enough, you still fell into my hands in the end." She smiled proudly, and then began to search Xiang Nan and Xu Ziling.

It turned out that the mushrooms she picked were not poisonous, but she secretly added drugs into the pot. Therefore, Xiang Nan and Xu Ziling were knocked unconscious by the drugs, not by eating poisonous mushrooms.

However, Kankan had secretly taken the antidote beforehand, so the drug had no effect on her.

……

At this moment, a white shadow suddenly flashed outside the temple.

When Xianxian saw him, she immediately chased after him, but found that there was no one outside.

"Hmph, if you have the guts, stop hiding and come out with me to see who's better." Seeing this, Qianqian shouted, "I don't care who you are or what tricks you are up to. Anyway, if anyone ruins my plans, I will never let you go!"

There was no sound outside.

Kanan just went back and continued searching.

But apart from finding a silver note signed by Chai Shao on the bottom of Xiang Nan's boots, there was no other clue about the golden armor.
