Ten states

() "Where's my brother?"

Xiao Xia was also a little surprised, Tang Qingxiao who woke up and sat up turned out to be the first sentence.

"You saw it too." That was all he could answer.

Tang Qingxiao didn't speak any more, just covered her face, trembling slightly.

Xiao Xia didn't speak any more, it was useless to say anything at this time, so he just watched quietly.

Tang Qingxiao trembled more and more violently, the veins on the hand covering his face were bulging, and his nails had already dug into the flesh, but he didn't seem to feel any pain at all, his hands continued to exert force, and his whole body curled up like a shrimp Get up and twitch.Blood was already running down his fingers, mixing with the water stains between his fingers, and a dying animal whimpered from his throat.

After a long while, Tang Qingxiao seemed to have finally mixed his breath, and asked weakly in a voice that could maintain calm: "What about the spiritual fire?"

"Nothing."

"Why not?"

"Someone broke in to sacrificially refine weapons."

"who is it?"

"General Hongye."

"why?"

"No reason. Those who can get it, winners and losers. This is the biggest and most useful truth in the world. Didn't you say it before? He has the biggest fist, he can, and when he comes, he has to go gone."

"What about Jin Zhiyang?"

"died."

"that's it?"

"that's it."

Tang Qingxiao fell silent again.This time, even the trembling was gone, and the whole person seemed to be dead.After half an hour.He asked, "Why are you still doing this?"

"En?" Xiao Xia didn't understand.

"I asked you why you still do this~!?" Tang laughed lightly and jumped up, roaring hoarsely.His face was already covered with blood and tears, and he rushed up like crazy, grabbed Xiao Xia's clothes and shook them violently. "Why are you still so indifferent? Why do you still look like you have nothing to do? Aren't you my brother's friend? Didn't you take such a big risk to come here to help him? Why didn't you Go up and help him? Why are you so indifferent now that he is dead?"

"Don't you hate him the most? Don't you hate him the most? Now that he's dead, shouldn't you be happy?" Xiao Xia stared at Tang Qingxiao and said.

"I, I..." Tang Qingxiao's voice froze together with his body.

"Aren't you amazing? Didn't you spend more than five years of forbearance to come here? Didn't you use these to hone yourself into the sharpest hidden weapon? Isn't the result not bad now? Even if you don't Finally got the spirit fire. Isn’t it amazing to be able to come this far and almost succeed before General Hongye? Your old man will definitely see this and admit you. What’s more, your brother is dead now Now, isn't the identity of the inner disciple that you dreamed of immediately available at your fingertips? What does it matter if a few people die? Don't you just use these to hone your mentality? How about it, now that Miss Lin is dead, you My brother is also dead. How is your tempering going? Is it true that your skills will improve immediately and you will become the number one hidden weapon in the world?"

"Shut up!"

Tang Qingxiao howled and punched Xiaoxia.But Xiao Xia's fist hit him in the face first.He just vented his anger out of nowhere.Xiao Xia was taller and longer than him, and she was well prepared, so she naturally had the upper hand.

This punch was full of energy, until Tang Qingxiao flew sideways and fell several steps before falling into the sand.

"Of course I'm very sad that my fourth brother died. Because I'm not worth it for him." Xiao Xia's voice sounded flat.But this is not a lie.It's just that during the two years in Liuziying, I have seen too much life and death.The good brothers and good friends who were congenial last night, drinking, eating meat and talking about women, might just be cut in half in front of them for an inexplicable reason today.I don't know whether it should be said that he is numb, or he has already learned to keep all these things in his heart.

"What kind of hero is the fourth brother? As long as anyone in the world who has been in contact with him, whether it is an enemy or a friend, who doesn't praise him as a good man? Even the arrogant general Hongye, who is the only one who respects me, will say it after hearing his death." It's a pity. But why did he die? He died to save a person who only hated him. This person insisted on doing some self-righteous and stupid things, and in the end he got nothing. It seems that he regretted it. You said that his death was worth it not worth?"

Talking and talking.Xiao Xia's voice gradually became a little angry.Tang Qingxiao lay on the ground, trying to support his upper body but couldn't get up.The blood, tears, and spittle on his face rolled in the mud and sand, making him look even more embarrassed, and he couldn't see the expression on his face at all.

"I persuaded him, and he knew the consequences of what he did, but he still did it without hesitation. He said it was because he felt guilty for you, and said that if he hadn't sent you to Tangjiabao back then, you might not be here today. It will be this kind of character. He knows what he is doing, he is willing to take his own responsibility, he is a real man upright, so I am still willing to help him. And you are the culprit of all this, what qualifications do you have? To ask someone else?"

Tang Qingxiao finally sat up, and could only sit there weakly, dazed with blood and mud on his face.After taking a few breaths, Xiao Xia stopped talking, and the half-walled cave became silent for a while.

After a while, Xiao Xia suddenly asked: "Where did your Xuan Ming Tian Yi Shui come from?"

"Xuanmingtian Yishui?" Tang Qingxiao repeated the word blankly, and he asked as if he was stupid. "That's right, how did my Xuanmingtian Yishui come from?"

Xiao Xia didn't find it too strange either, the gray-black ball taken out of Tang Qingxiao's head already explained a lot of things.He asked again: "Then do you know what Xuan Ming Tian Yi Shui is?"

This Tang Qingxiao knew it, and replied: "That is something that can only be refined by the Xuanshui Palace. It must be obtained from the cold spring water of the extreme north to form a large array at the time of extreme cold and cloudy every year." Only a few drops can be refined. Although it is not as good as an innate spiritual thing like Suzaku Spirit Fire, it is also a top-ranking water-type treasure of the fifth rank. It is the nemesis of fire-walking Taoism. These are recorded in our Tangjiabao materials. "

"Then you don't remember how you got such an important treasure?"

"It's not that I don't remember. Now that I think about it, someone sold it to me for 100 taels of silver."

"Sell you this kind of thing for 100 taels of silver? Do you believe it?" Xiao Xia sneered.

"That person said he was a disciple who defected from Xuanshui Palace, and he was in short supply of money, but why?"

"Why is it so easy to believe. Never the slightest suspicion, is it?"

"How do you know? Why is this?" Tang Qingxiao struggled to get up from the ground.

"You have been cursed." Xiao Xia sighed and said lightly. "The general planted a seed of ghost heart curse from your head."

"How could it be who?" Tang Qingxiao began to tremble again.

"I only heard that the general and his deputy mentioned a name called 'Snake Daoist'. It seems that this person did it." Xiaoxia thought for a while, and then added: "But I advise you not to think about asking the general. , the general is not interested in paying attention to you, even if you are from Tangjiabao, if he gets impatient, killing you is as easy as crushing an ant. And this person also indirectly killed the fourth brother. The general is angry at him , has ordered that as long as he is in Yongzhou, he will be killed. With that person's yin and secretiveness, he will definitely not go to Yongzhou."

"Snake Daoist" Tang Qingxiao repeated the name through gritted teeth.

"You don't need to get too excited. The general said that the seed can only be a small piece of memory and belief that confuses people. It's up to you to think about it. So this person is just passing on a grain of Xuanmingtian through your hands." It’s nothing more than a volcano, even without him, you would still do the same. You just made a hidden weapon as you wished, but the person who made the hidden weapon was not yourself.”

"Okay. I don't want to say anything more now. You still have to be your own hidden weapon. It's okay to be your inner disciple. After all, it's your own business. I also have my own business. Save you Come out, and I have an explanation to my fourth brother. Let’s say goodbye, I hope there will be no time in the future, I don’t want to see you again.”

After saying this, Xiao Xia turned around and walked out of the half of the cave, and walked down the mountain quickly.

Not far away, Mingyue's figure jumped out from behind a pile of rocks.Walking side by side with Xiao Xia, she asked a little strangely: "Why did you wait to talk so much to that person? Is it just to punch him? Then you can also have a good time when he was unconscious just now ah."

Xiao Xia smiled: "It's fun to beat a bad guy when he's awake."

"Yeah?".Mingyue turned her head and took a look. "But this person is not a bad person now."

"Oh? Could it be that he has become a good person?"

"I'm not a good person, but I just don't want to hurt others. It's not as bad as before. By the way, Taoist Xia, since he is no longer a bad person, why do you still lie to him?"

"When did I lie to him? When did you know that those things are true or false?"

"Hmph, I don't know those things anymore. But I can tell if you're lying or not. You didn't tell the whole truth just now."

"Hehe, since he is not a good person, it doesn't matter if he cheats a little bit."

When Xiaoxia and Mingyue returned to the bloody forest at the foot of the mountain, they saw Shifang healing He Tian.

He Tian was seriously injured. The explosive power of that firearm almost shattered half of his ribs. If it weren't for the spells around his body to resist part of the damage, he might have died long ago. Even so, his shattered bones seemed to be Some of them were inserted into the viscera, and people kept coughing up blood.

It was precisely because of this that those members of the Kunlun School did not dare to escape, for fear that the bumpy road would kill the student of the Third Academy.Although they themselves have wound medicine and means of healing, they are powerless to deal with such life-threatening serious injuries, and they have been using invisibility to hide aside and worry about it.After seeing Shifang, he hurried over and begged him for help.

In a piece of white Buddha light, with the sound of chanting sutras from all directions, He Tian's bloody chest slowly stopped bleeding, and the sunken shape also returned to its original shape, as if the broken bones were automatically pieced together , Even his pale face had traces of blood.Not just him.And the seriously injured people rescued by the surviving quacks nearby also improved a lot under the light of the Buddha. Many of the slightly injured quacks on the sidelines were so excited that they knelt down and called them Bodhisattvas with tears on their faces.

"This Shifang monk is so powerful?" Xiao Xia was also a little surprised.Compared with the tyrannical and domineering magic of Taoism and the five elements, killing people is like mowing grass.The detainee ghosts, gods, and spirits of the celestial master's talisman are unpredictable, but only Buddhist spells have unique skills in healing diseases, but that is only more convenient and quicker than ordinary medicine and stone methods, and the effect is also limited, and there are only a few of them. Only monks with profound mana can use it, otherwise the pill business in Yaowanggu would not be known as the most profitable business in the Jianghu.But now the method shown by Shifang is not comparable to that of medicine and stone acupuncture, and it really has the taste of saving sentient beings.

Mingyue curled her lips: "It's not that he's powerful. It's the treasure on him that is very powerful." After thinking for a while, she said, "But he's not bad. He should be stronger than me."

At this time, Shifang had already healed his wounds.In fact, there were not many wounded, because there were too many dead, and this fight was too tragic.All the wounded soldiers of the White Tiger Army were rescued by themselves.Not a single person from Sidi was left alive.Including the rescued injuries, there are only about 300 people left in the Treasure Hunting League.

Several quacks who looked like leaders exchanged glances with each other, and they went forward to kneel together and begged the gods and monks of the ten directions to show mercy again.Take them back to Dagan out of Jizhou.What the White Tiger Army did before made it clear that they would be wiped out in one fell swoop.They were able to survive because the White Tiger Army retreated in a hurry because they were afraid of the General and the Hundred Iron Leaf Army.Now that the general is long gone, with the three or four hundred wounded, as long as the White Tiger Army is willing—this is almost certain—they have no chance of returning alive.The only hope now seems to be this little divine monk from the Pure Land Temple. With his face in the Pure Land Temple, the White Tiger Army should have no courage to act rashly.

But Shifang shook his head and said, "Amitabha. After witnessing this change, the poor monk has to go back to the Pure Land Temple to explain the situation to the abbot as soon as possible, but he can't walk slowly with you." Before waiting for these quacks Begging again, he turned around and faced the Kunlun Sect members at the side. "Benefactor Lin and Benefactor Li, although the injury of this benefactor He Tian has stabilized, he can't run fast. Why don't you go forward with these benefactors of the Treasure Hunting League and take care of each other, okay?"

The middle-aged man named Li Murray and the woman named Lin Xiuyun looked at each other with embarrassment on their faces.Of course they don't want to drag the huge burden of these 400 people, but the Kunlun faction's own people can easily hide it from the eyes of the White Tiger Army, and the 400 people are much more troublesome.But it happened that he had just received a great kindness from others, so it was not easy to say the words of rejection.

Immediately, a man with insight and determination in the Treasure Hunting League stood up and said loudly: "With the help of all the heroes of the Kunlun School, we were able to escape from the hands of the Xidi barbarian. , The upright spirit is awe-inspiring, it really breaks my heart. Now I just want to worship under the Kunlun sect for the heroes to drive."

With those who took the lead, more people immediately followed suit.It's not that this group of people acted on the wind, it is true that many people's masters died in this catastrophe, especially the disciples of the Wuyue League, who had sworn to them before that they would succeed in winning the treasure , but brought them into this bloody disaster, and the leader Huangshan Sword Immortal who didn't know where to go in the end was really disappointed.Although the members of the Kunlun Sect had bad intentions before, they have now become their only hope for survival, and they are also a prestigious sect. The spells they showed before are even more amazing. There are also many people who really want to take refuge in them.

The middle-aged man named Li Mulei's face changed a few times, and finally he sighed and nodded: "Okay, since we joined forces to defend against the enemy before, it is also predestined. If there is a god monk from ten directions to speak, we will try our best. But I, Kunlun The selection of apprentices is extremely strict, basically you don’t have to think about it, even our lower three courtyards have a lot of assessments. Those who want to sincerely worship into the mountain gate can go to Kunlun Mountain with us, and we will try our best to make other friends You have sent the border defense line of the Baishi Camp. As long as you break up and mix with ordinary people after passing through Baishi City, it is impossible for the White Tiger Army to conduct a thorough inspection like a sniper."

The members of the Treasure Hunting League were naturally relieved, and Shi Fang nodded again and again: "Amitabha, it's so good. Everyone can support each other after this catastrophe, which also comforts the poor monk."

Glancing at Xiaoxia and Mingyue in the distance, Shifang walked over, sighed to Mingyue first and said, "Miss Mingyue, I have important things to do now, so I can't accompany you anymore."

"It's okay, Daoist Xia will accompany me." Mingyue said coldly.Ever since she let go of the mysterious person in the sedan chair, she seemed to have a bit of a grudge against this little monk.

"Then Xia benefactor, Miss Mingyue will be handed over to you. You have to take good care of her. You know that she is a bit willful, and she will be more tolerant to you."

Shifang's tone was very earnest, and Xiao Xia couldn't laugh or cry, so he nodded: "That's natural, and I also want to thank the monk for his concern."

"The poor monk will take his leave first."

After saying this, Shifang's figure quickly left.Xiao Xia glanced at the group of people from the Treasure Hunting League from a distance, and didn't bother to go any further, turned around and walked out of the woods with Mingyue.

Walking out of the woods, the strong wind blowing from the grassland finally blew away the smell of blood.Looking back at the Tianhuo, which was half incomplete, it was no longer Tianhuo. After thinking about the experience of the past 20 days, Xiao Xia couldn't help but let out a long sigh.Now all the grievances and grievances have been explained temporarily, but he seems to be back on the original road. (to be continued...)
