The witch looks at her moves

Chapter 26 Vicious
  Forage and black oil were poured into the severed neck of the headless horse. With a flash of fire, the horse's body swelled and its muscle lines were as clear as a knife.

It pulled the dilapidated carriage and rushed away.

Su Zhen and the two women sat on the carriage with only a floor remaining, and embarked on the journey to Jiu Miao Immortal Palace again.

Nan Chang asked about Fairy Lu Qi's situation with concern, and Su Zhen did not hide anything and told her truthfully.

"Miaolian Bodhisattva has great supernatural powers. Please take pity on me and bless you." Nan Chang clasped his hands together.

Su Zhen also pretended to pray for Lu Qi.

He has made up his mind to kill Lu Qi, but lacks the opportunity.

How to create opportunities?
  Su Zhen, who knew nothing about assassins, could not come up with an answer, but reality soon gave him inspiration.

After the carriage drove out of this valley, it encountered a huge caravan. The caravan was escorted by a group of giant elephants. The leading elephant had gold ornaments on its forehead and was wearing golden armor. On its back covered with brocade, it sat with a sword hanging on its waist and pointing fingers. The guardian of Nianling Talisman.

Seeing the immortal's motorcade, the guards hurriedly hid their magic talismans behind their backs and saluted from afar as a sign of respect.

"What a big battle."

Qi Xia shielded the light with her horizontal palms and praised loudly. She was even more honored when she saw the guards saluting.

"Yes, look at the rows of colorful flags and red satin, maybe they are the dowry of a princess from a great dynasty." Nan Chang said enviously.

While they were distracted, Su Zhen took a piece of sharp wood secretly broken off from the carriage, moved it near the headless horse, and stabbed the horse's buttocks with all his strength.

He wanted the horses to be frightened and rush into the convoy, causing chaos, but it backfired. He didn't know what the horsehide was made of, but he stabbed with all his strength without hurting the horse at all.

Without stopping, in the smoke and dust, the caravan composed of giant elephants had left him.

When Nan Chang turned around, Su Zhen quietly threw away the sharp piece of wood.

Outside the valley, the scenery is no longer bright and beautiful. Along the way, the mountains are as bald as ocher, the water is as turbid as swill, and it is desolate.

From Nan Shang's mouth, I learned that these were mostly the sites where humans and monsters fought each other. Before their death, many monsters would use secret techniques to curse the ground beneath their feet and bury their bones in this poisonous soil where no grass could grow.

Su Zhen looked at the hairless mountains, and the image of smashing the iron shell of the ghost insect with his fists flashed through his mind again, burning his chest.

He wanted to awaken such power again.

But no matter what he tried, it was to no avail. This body was like an indifferent piece of wood, and it no longer had any strange resonance with him.

"Yu Yue, you don't have to work like this. When we get to Jiu Miao Palace, we will get the orthodox inner sect's mental method inheritance. When the time comes, we can practice and get twice the result with half the effort." Nan Chang said with concern.

Su Zhen nodded absently.

Qi Xia snorted coldly and said, "If she wants to waste time, just let her waste it. She is a smart person and does not need to be taught."

Qi Xia's mood is getting better and better.

Every time she saw a building in Xiongcheng, she would point to the emerald green towers and red-painted roofs and ask Nan Chang if that could be Jiu Miao Palace. Nan Chang denied it time and time again. She said that Jiu Miao Palace was a fairy palace. , No matter how tall and magnificent the pavilions in the human world are, they are just poor imitations of the architecture of the immortal family.

Su Zhen had no intention of enjoying the scenery along the way. He knew that as long as he successfully arrived at Jiu Miao Immortal Palace, he would have no way to survive.

Despair made him unable to restrain his fantasy, imagining a sudden disaster, imagining a hero passing by, but no miracle happened. Today, the whole world is like a good day, peaceful and peaceful.

Laojun gradually turned pale red.

The day is coming to an end.

In the dusk, the headless horse stopped, and the three purple-robed killers quickly cleared a clearing in the wild, drew the seal of protection, and set up camp.

Su Zhen and others were responsible for setting up the fire and cooking the medicine again.

Amidst the beep beep beep of firewood, the color of the mountains gradually faded away, leaving only this glimmer of light between heaven and earth.

"Godmother, how do I break the shackles on this body?" Su Zhen asked in her heart.

"Practice, practice step by step." Yu Yue said.

"Is it too late?" Su Zhen asked.

"No matter how peerless a genius is, he still needs time. How many days do you have now? There is no need to rush. There is no need to rush." ​​Yu Yue sounded very leisurely.

"My godmother, aren't you afraid that I will be killed by Lu Qi?" Su Zhen asked again.

"Then I can only remain a lonely ghost for thousands more years until I find the next soul to make a contract with me~" Yu Yue's voice suddenly became sad again.

There was not much time, so Yu Yue did not chat with him anymore, but smiled and cheered him up:

"Okay, okay, cheer up, the girl of your dreams is coming, don't be depressed."

Slightly.

The door opened softly.

The girl carrying a canvas bag walked in cautiously. She was wearing indigo tight jeans, a loose pink T-shirt, and white sneakers that made no sound when she stepped on the ground. She slowly came to Su Zhen's bedside, picked up a chair and sat down. .

When Su Zhen woke up, she happened to see Shao Xiaoxiao.

The long, smooth black hair, smooth bangs, and clean eyes remind people of sunny shoals, where beautiful corals and luminous shells are hidden.

Su Zhen's tense heartstrings relaxed a little.

"Did I disturb you?" Shao Xiaoxiao asked cautiously.

"No, no."

Su Zhen's head was still a little dizzy. He calmed down, forced out a weak smile and said, "Hello, Teacher Shao."

Shao Xiaoxiao couldn't help biting her lip when she heard the name Teacher Shao, but she didn't say much, just asked in a low voice: "Classmate Su Zhen, do you want to take another break?"

"No need, teacher, let's start teaching." Su Zhen cheered up.

Shao Xiaoxiao hummed, opened her schoolbag, and took out her textbooks and homework. She had never been tutored in homework before, so she was inevitably a little nervous.

"I won't teach you Chinese. Just read the book yourself. I'll teach you mathematics directly." Shao Xiaoxiao said.

"Okay."

Su Zhen tried hard to hold up his upper body.

There was little preparation and not too many pleasantries. Shao Xiaoxiao's first class began at dusk.

She doesn't speak fast, but she's very patient. She has a typical girlish voice. There's nothing special about it, but she never gets tired of listening to it. If she accidentally speaks something wrong, she'll stick out her tongue and say something to herself. A few words of review.

"... When the zero point of the derivative cannot be found, first determine the formula whose sign is always positive or always negative... Su Zhen, do I understand these concepts?"

"I understand. I think what you said is much better than Teacher Jiang." Su Zhen said.

"Don't talk nonsense. Teacher Jiang has been a teacher for decades. Although he is fierce, he is not bad at teaching students."

Shao Xiaoxiao finished speaking modestly, and then said: "Since you understand it, let's repeat it."

"what?"

"Ah, what, didn't you understand?"

"I...that, zero point...ask for the derivation..."

Shao Xiaoxiao is a petite person, but when he puts on a straight face, he feels very oppressive. Su Zhenda feels as if he was picked up by the teacher to ask questions when he was absent from class. He felt guilty and nervous. Finally, he was overwhelmed and said:

"Actually, I don't understand it very thoroughly. Can the teacher explain it to me again?"

Shao Xiaoxiao was not angry, but just symbolically tapped him on the forehead with a chestnut and said, "Then I'll explain it again. If you don't understand anything, feel free to ask me. Do you understand?"

"I understand, Teacher Shao." Su Zhen nodded obediently.

He had been thinking about the assassination of Lu Qi before, and was so confused that he couldn't concentrate. Now, under Shao Xiaoxiao's teachings, he chose to calm down and study - meaningless annoyance would only drag down his spirit, so he simply Study as relaxation.

By the time I finished teaching Su Zhen, it was completely dark.

Shao Xiaoxiao sat on the chair and stretched his arms and legs, announcing that today's lecture had ended successfully. Su Zhen looked at Shao Xiaoxiao's happy face and suddenly felt that studying was not painful. This was the first time that he was immersed in listening to the lecture, but I don’t know if I am immersed in the world of mathematics or indulging in beauty.

"Shao Xiaoxiao, you obviously speak so well, why aren't your grades top-notch?" Su Zhen asked curiously.

Shao Xiaoxiao was stunned for a moment, with panic like a frightened rabbit flashing in her eyes. She said, "I'm not very smart either, and I tend to get nervous during exams. It's normal for me to not perform well."

"Nervous? But I feel that you are a very calm person, so calm that you are a bit aloof." Su Zhen said. "Aloof? No way." Shao Xiaoxiao refused to admit it.

"Did Mr. Shao fail in the exam on purpose?" Su Zhen asked suspiciously.

"Who would deliberately fail the exam?" Shao Xiaoxiao frowned.

The world seemed to have suddenly quieted down, and the sound of needle drops could be heard in the ward that was dimly illuminated by the wall lamp.

Shao Xiaoxiao sat quietly on the chair and swayed her legs slowly. Her legs were very thin, but not the kind of bamboo legs. Her slim jeans were stretched with a slight voluptuousness, and the lines showed an intriguing elasticity. A small part of her body was exposed. The shin of the foot is even better than the frost and the snow.

The quiet hospital, the falling night, the girl in the dream.

Su Zhen suddenly felt a sense of unreality, as if everything in front of her was not a real scene, but a silhouette of youth in her memory.

Suddenly, Shao Xiaoxiao broke the tranquility: "Student Su Zhen, which university do you want to go to in the future?"

Su Zhen was stunned. He was not ready to face this question.

"I want to get admitted to Tansha University in the future."

Shao Xiaoxiao took the initiative to speak. The sunset had darkened, but her eyes became brighter.

"Then me too." Su Zhen said.

Shao Xiaoxiao pursed his lips and smiled, and said: "Then you have to work hard and don't repeat the studies. It will not be good to be my junior student in the future."

"Getting into the exam is like smoke rising from the ancestral graves. What's the point of being a junior?" Su Zhen laughed.

"Oh?" Shao Xiaoxiao blinked and said, "Then why don't you call me senior?"

Girls always like to tease boys to call them sister, and Shao Xiaoxiao seems to be no exception.

After making a joke, Shao Xiaoxiao put the textbook back into her schoolbag and took out the hair tie from the side pocket of the school bag. She spread the hair tie with her fingers and waved goodbye to Su Zhen:

"Okay, I'm going home first. I'll come back tomorrow to help you with your homework. You have to digest what I taught you today. I'll take the test tomorrow!"

"I got it, Teacher Shao." Su Zhen waved.

As he spoke, Shao Xiaoxiao had already tied a clean single ponytail with a hair rope. When he left, the ponytail swung gently, sweeping over his thin shoulders, beautiful back, and the white back of his neck.

The girl disappeared, leaving only the fragrance lingering.

A scene like this suddenly appeared in Su Zhen's memory:
  Shao Xiaoxiao in a white dress walked out of the library, her arms folded on her chest holding a book. The wind blew the hair in front of her forehead, and the slender hair hanging on her cheeks floated around. She said to him He smiled and nodded, moved his lips, said three words, and then walked past him quickly, with a small gap between steps.

'This, when did this happen? '

Su Zhen sat on the hospital bed blankly.

The night outside the window is dark.

He thought about it for a long time, but he really couldn't remember the day on which this scene happened. It was obviously so real, with every detail of the hair clearly visible, and yet it was as vague as a dream, without any time, place, cause or effect.

——It’s more like a picture synthesized after thinking about it day and night.

Could it be that he traveled through time to the point of insanity?
  While Su Zhen was thinking hard, the nurse sister came in.

"I'm not ashamed to call my peers teacher and do it so affectionately," the nurse said.

"what?"

Su Zhen's thoughts suddenly came back, "Are you still listening to the corner?"

"I didn't." The nurse sister quickly denied, "I just passed by and overheard it. I'm not the kind of person who likes to eavesdrop on other people's privacy."

Su Zhen looked unbelieving.

"Okay, be happy. You will be discharged from the hospital in two days. However, if you want that little girl to tutor you, I can bend the law for personal gain and help you hide your condition for a few more days." The nurse sister joked .

"No need."

Su Zhen firmly objected: "We, gentlemen, don't do this."

The nurse sister laughed, but she didn't know what she was laughing at.

Su Zhen raised his head and looked at the shining white wall lamp. He temporarily forgot about those troubles and felt more relaxed.

When he was a child, he watched martial arts TV series, and he was fascinated by them. He only remembered the giant heroes flying over the walls and doing justice, but he didn't see many young heroes dying tragically at the hands of gangsters. Now that he was in a dangerous situation and couldn't help himself, he finally realized the pain and suffering involved. .

Moreover, he has no masters to teach him skills, and no seniors to pass on his skills. Is it really the protagonist's script?

But he had to move on because it was the only hope to heal his mother.

Endless tired sea water poured into his body, he closed his eyes and fell asleep quickly.

This was the worst sleep he had had in the past few days.

When he woke up again, the familiar sound of burning fire rang in his ears again. In the sound of beep beep beep, the thick medicinal fragrance melted in the air.

"I'm going to give the medicine to Fairy Lu."

Qi Xia's voice sounded. When she saw Su Zhen waking up, she was even more gearing up and couldn't wait, as if she was afraid that he would take away the credit.

Su Zhen found that he was wearing an extra piece of cyan clothes. He twirled the hand that felt better than silk and looked at Nan Shang, who was warming his hands over the fire.

Nan Shang smiled sweetly and said, "It's very cold at night, and this bonfire is too small to keep you warm. I see that you are delicate and thin, and I'm afraid that you will freeze, so I put on an extra layer for you."

"What about you?" Su Zhen asked.

"Sister is a cultivator, so this coldness is nothing." Nan Chang said.

"Just be nice to her."

Seeing this scene, Qi Xia's eyes flashed with jealousy. She said, "Nanshang, you are too simple-minded. If you treat everyone like this, you will suffer a big loss sooner or later."

Nan Chang smiled and lowered his head, but did not refute.

Qi Xia took out the porcelain bowl, scrubbed it several times with snow water, picked up the medicine pot, and introduced the hot and bubbling soup into the bowl.

"I'm going to see Fairy Lu Qi."

Qi Xia held the porcelain bowl, her voice uncontrollably cheerful.

Su Zhen and Nan Chang sat there and chatted for a while.

Nan Shang talked about her past of practicing Taoism in Liumen.

She said that although the Liumen was a little-known sect, it did not have any evil tendencies. From the incense master and the hall master to the elders and head masters, everyone treated her very well. She was favored in the sect at that time. The spiritual beast is used as a mount, the elixir is used as a bean, and life is happy.

"At that time, I didn't know how dangerous the world was, and I thought all the people in Xijing Country were good people."

Nan Chang laughed self-deprecatingly, held her face again, looked at the shape of the mountains in the distance, and said foolishly: "As a human being, you must not forget your roots. If you succeed in cultivating Taoism in the future, I will definitely repay the master."

"Success in cultivating Taoism..."

Su Zhen murmured and asked, "How many years will it take to practice this?"

"I don't know either, but I know that one day, I will become a fairy like Lu Qi." Nan Chang said firmly.

In front.

The purple-robed killer suddenly appeared, holding something in his hand.

When Su Zhen saw clearly what was in the killer's hand, his pupils involuntarily tightened.

It's a corpse.

Qi Xia's body.

The girl who had been so proud before was dead, and her body was casually thrown in front of them by the killer.

Qi Xia was lying on the ground, facing up to the sky, her eyes widened. Black blood was solidified at the corners of her lips. Blue-purple bloodshot threads protruded from her originally fair skin. Her neck was as if struck by thunder and was burnt. Lost.

"The medicine she brought was poisonous."

The cold voice of the purple-robed killer pierced Su Zhen's heart like a knife. It was the female killer yesterday, Jing Xue. She looked down at the two people beside the embers of the fire and asked indifferently: "Who wants to harm Lord Lu Qi?"
