Pride of Heaven and Dragon Slayer

Chapter 16 Entering the Central Plains
When Ao Kuang recognized his own situation clearly, nothing but helplessness remained.Although I know that I just have to endure the torment of the fire poison and it will not be life-threatening, but who has nothing to do to torture himself with irregular illnesses.Although Ao Kuang is open to the problem of fire poison in blood vessels and has no burden in his heart, he still comforts himself and wants to tell himself that if he meets these fire silkworms at the last moment, he would have already been turned into ashes, and now he has saved his life It's just that he will have to suffer from the burning pain of fire poison from time to time in the future, no matter what, it's better than death, thinking about it like this makes Ao Kuang feel much more comfortable.

After the arrogant mood calmed down, he got up and walked towards the stone room.

When he came to Situ Zhentian's sarcophagus, he stretched out his hand and put his hand on the sarcophagus to gently wipe off the non-existent dust.During this process, Ao Kuang thought of how he stood on the rock in the center of the magma for the first time when he came back here for the first time, and when he practiced the "Heart Sutra of Kuang Yan Lie Yan" for the first time, so many years have passed in a flash, I don't know how many times this happened over the years.I have spent nearly half of the time since I came to this world in this place, and I will go to the Central Plains tomorrow, so I really hate to leave.

Thinking of this, Ao Kuang suddenly knelt in front of Situ Zhentian's sarcophagus, looking at the sarcophagus in front of him, Ao Kuang wanted to say a lot to Situ Zhentian, but in the end he just kowtowed three times and said: "Master, I am leaving."

Get up and walk towards the crater.

Standing on the volcano, quietly watching the afterglow of the sunset, feeling the breeze blowing by.Long Jiu and Lie Yan went to the Lu Ren who had walked back to the cave so many times, two long shadows appeared in the setting sun.

"Kang'er, why did you come back so late again, go eat quickly." The same person stood outside the cave waiting for Ao Kuang's return, and said when Ao Kuang approached him.

"Okay, I got it." Feeling Xie Xun's care, Ao Kuang thought that tomorrow no matter what, he must let his adoptive father go to the Central Plains with him.must.

Walking into the cave, I saw that Zhang Cuishan and his wife were packing up necessities for returning to the Central Plains.He walked to the side and picked up the food left for himself and started to eat.In the evening, there was nothing to say all night.

In the early morning of the next day, after breakfast, the group headed towards the seaside. Xie Xun, who was walking ahead on the road, always looked back at Ao Kuang behind him from time to time. Even Wuji felt something strange about Xie Xun.

When they came to the place where the raft was stored, it was already noon when all the food and supplies were put on the raft. The three of them pushed the raft into the sea together.Wuji was the first to jump up the row, followed by the second trial.At this time Zhang Cuishan took Xie Xun's hand and said: "Brother, the wooden raft is six feet away from here, let's jump on it together!" He jumped, as if someone had punched him hard in the chest, and said, "Brother, what did you say? Farewell from now on? What do you mean? Don't you want to go back to the Central Plains with us?"

Xie Xun said: "You are kind-hearted, you should have endless blessings, but you are too stubborn when it comes to good and evil, so be careful in everything. Wuji has a broad mind. It seems that in the future, you will be more tactful and easy-going than you. Su Suna Although the girl is a girl, she doesn't take advantage of others. What I'm worried about is you." After speaking, he tapped Ao Kuang's acupoints so that he couldn't move. He carried Ao Kuang to Zhang Cuishan and said, "Cui Shan, you will take care of Kuang’er from now on, it’s okay for me to stay on this isolated island, but Kuang’er is too young to stay here forever.” Then he said to Ao Kuang: “Kuang’er, you should be wronged first, wait until the raft floats It’s far away, and then your second uncle will unlock the acupoints for you. Father-in-law knows that you have long seen that I have the intention of dying alone here. With your temperament, you will never agree to me doing this, so I ordered you Your acupoints. Yifu touched your acupoints, because I don’t know how to say goodbye to you, don’t blame Yifu. Cuishan, take good care of Kuang’er in the future, don’t let him be wronged, promise me.” After saying these words, Xie Xun His eyes were full of tears, and he looked at Zhang Cuishan with a look of begging.

At this moment, Ao Kuang felt that Xie Xun had tapped his own acupuncture points with a unique technique, if Zhang Cuishan had really waited until the raft floated away, even if Zhang Cuishan unlocked his acupuncture points, he would definitely not let him come back.Once the raft floats away, Xie Xun is destined to die alone on Binghuo Island, and he will have no chance to persuade his adoptive father to go back to the Central Plains with him.Fortunately, my adoptive father also taught me the method of tapping acupuncture points, and now I am using all my internal energy at all costs, in order to open the acupuncture points before getting on the raft.

The more Zhang Cuishan listened, the more surprised and sad he became. He said in a trembling voice, "Brother, what are you talking about? Are you really not going with us?" Xie Xun said, "When I turned to the north wind, I told you that you can go back to the Central Plains." I told you guys. Have you forgotten?" Zhang Cuishan heard these few words like thunder, only then did he remember that Xie Xun did say that day, but he didn't hear clearly at the time. Thinking that when everyone left, only Xie Xun would survive on this island of ice and fire.

Then he hurriedly said: "Brother, you are lonely and desolate on this island, what good is it? Jump on the raft!" He hugged Ao Kuang with one hand while pulling Xie Xun hard.But Xie Xun's body was firmly nailed to the ground like a big tree, he didn't move at all.

Zhang Cuishan shouted: "Susu, Wuji, come up quickly! Eldest brother said he won't come with us." Yin Susu and Wuji were also shocked when they heard that, they rushed ashore together.Wuji said: "Uncle, why don't you go? If you don't go, we won't go."

Xie Xun was really reluctant to part with them, especially Ao Kuang.Since he is gone, naturally there will be no time to see him again, he is alone on a deserted island, life is worse than death, but since he has married Zhang Cuishan and Yin Susu, he loves them more than he treats himself .

And the love for the adopted son, Ao Kuang, is even more than that of his own son.He has thought about it for a long time, and he knows that he is burdened with a blood debt. Whether it is a decent family or a green forest, there are many people in the Jianghu who are deliberately planning to put him to death, let alone the Dragon Slaying Saber fell into his hands, and this matter will inevitably leak out.If it was in the past, he would be calm and fearless, but now he is not alone, and he has a son.It is absolutely impossible to resist the siege of a large number of enemies. It is expected that Zhang Yin and Zhang Yin will never stand idly by and allow themselves to die unexpectedly. If there is a dispute, everyone will die together.Once they return, I'm afraid that everyone will not live for a year or a half.But there is no need to explain this calculation to the two of them, Fang said that he decided to stay when the matter came to an end.

Hearing Wuji's true feelings revealed in these few words, he picked him up and said softly: "Wuji, good boy, you listen to uncle. Uncle is old and lives here very well. When he returns to the Central Plains, only everywhere If you are not used to it, you will not be happy.”

Wuji said: "Uncle, can we go back to the Central Plains together? You will be sad if you stay here, mad brother, and we will be sad too."

Xie Xun shook his head and said, "No way. I'm still happy here."

Wuji said: "I am also happy here. Dad, Mom, why don't we all go, it's better to be here."

Yin Susu said: "Third Uncle, if you have any concerns, please express it clearly, and we will discuss the plan together. If you want to leave you here alone, no matter what."

Xie Xun thought to himself: "These three people have a deep affection for me. If I want them to sacrifice themselves willingly, I'm afraid it won't work. But how can I get them to leave with the mad ones ?”

Zhang Cuishan suddenly said: "Brother, you are afraid that too many enemies will implicate us, aren't you? After we return to the Central Plains, we can find a remote place to live in seclusion and not interact with outsiders. Isn't everything going to be fine? It's best that we both Going to live in Wudang Mountain, no one would have thought that the Golden Retriever Lion King would be on Wudang Mountain.”

Xie Xun said proudly: "Hmph, even though your elder brother is not good, you don't need to take shelter under the respect of Master Zhang Zhenren."

Zhang Cuishan deeply regretted his slip of the tongue, and hurriedly said: "Brother's martial arts are not under my master's, why should he take shelter of him? Back to Xinjiang XZ, Shuowai desert, where is there no paradise? Let the four of us feel at ease."

Xie Xun said: "If you want to find a remote place, is there any place in the world that is more desolate than this place? Are you going or not?"

Zhang Cuishan said: "Elder Brother, if you don't go, we are determined not to go either." Yin Susu and Wuji also said in unison: "If you don't go, we won't go either."

Xie Xun sighed: "Okay, everyone don't go, after I'm dead, it's not too late for you to go back."

Zhang Cuishan said: "That's right, I've lived here for ten years, so why worry?" Xie Xun shouted loudly: "After I'm dead, don't you have anything to miss?"

In a moment of astonishment, he stretched out his hand and with a swipe sound, he pulled out the dragon-slaying knife, and the horizontal knife was about to wipe off his neck.At this moment, a slightly thin arm snatched the Dragon Slaying Saber from Xie Xun's hand, and ran away.

But it was Ao Kuang who broke open the acupuncture point the moment Xie Xun drew the saber, snatched the dragon-slaying saber, jumped out from Zhang Cuishan's arms, and ran here.If he was usually arrogant, he would never have snatched the Dragon Slaying Saber from Xie Xun's hands, but just now when Xie Xun wanted to go back to wiping his neck, he was only on guard against Zhang Cuishan and his wife. At this time, the acupoints were opened.What's more, Ao Kuang attacked with all his strength, and Ao Kuang snatched the Dragon Slaying Saber only if he did mental calculations but didn't care.

Ao Kuang, who ran to the side, immediately put the Dragon Slaying Saber across his neck, and suddenly knelt down to Xie Xun.

Seeing Ao Kuang put the Dragon Slaying Saber across his neck, Xie Xun lost his voice, "What are you doing, put down the knife."

Hearing Xie Xun's voice, he said arrogantly: "Father, if you really want to wipe your neck with a knife, you can take it after I die."

"No, you put down the knife first, I won't commit suicide. Put down the knife first. Be obedient." Xie Xun said in a panic, taking a step forward.

Seeing Xie Xun like this, Ao Kuang pressed the blade even closer to his skin, ignoring the blood on his neck and said, "Father, don't think about going up to grab the knife, but Kuang Er is confident that he can cut it off before you take it." own throat."

Hearing Ao Kuang's words, Xie Xun stopped and looked at Ao Kuang who was kneeling in front of him.Then I heard Ao Kuang say: "Kuang'er is reluctant to be separated from foster father. So foster father, you have two choices. First, let's go back to the Central Plains together. Second, let me accompany you on this isolated island until the end of your life." He looked at Xie Xun carefully.

Xie Xun's lips parted repeatedly, but he didn't say a word.

Seeing that Xie Xun was still hesitating, he said arrogantly: "Father, is it because you are worried that you had too many enemies in the past, and we will be chased and killed by the enemies when we return to the Central Plains? Or are you worried that the second uncle's family will be hurt? If this is the case, I don’t think it’s necessary. I’m afraid that my second uncle’s family will be hurt, and I can make a big case when I return to the Central Plains to inform the martial arts golden lion king Xie Xun that Xie Xun has returned. At that time, the people in the martial arts will definitely follow him in search of his adoptive father. Besides, on this isolated island, how can we avenge the killing of our grandfather, mother, and elder brother? A man should exist in the world for the rest of his life, so why not do anything, he is ashamed of being a man. Back to the Central Plains, father and son Even if the two of them lose to the enemy, they still have to kill to their heart's content, even if they die, they are worthy of this man's blood." After saying this, the arrogant and arrogant temperament began to change, becoming as wild, domineering, and savage as an ancient beast. , bloodthirsty, and I can no longer see the usual arrogance that is cold but like a cloud of dust.

Hearing what Ao Kuang said, and seeing Ao Kuang's current appearance, Xie Xun finally said: "Okay, go back to the Central Plains."

"really?"

"Seriously." Hearing Xie Xun speak so arrogantly, he finally breathed a sigh of relief.Immediately, he could no longer hold back the blood in his throat, and spurted it out.

Just now, Ao Kuang used his internal force to open the acupoints at all costs, so he suffered some internal injuries, and he tried his best to grab the knife, at the same time, the fire poison in his blood vessels also exploded.Until just now when Xie Xun said he was going back to the Central Plains, he was suppressing the blood in his throat. Once he relaxed, he couldn't suppress the blood.

Seeing Ao Kuang like this, Xie Xun hurried over and asked, "What's wrong?"

Lying in Xie Xun's arms, Ao Kuang only said: "Father, why don't you get on the raft and leave here first?"

"Okay, okay." After speaking, he picked up Aokuang and jumped onto the raft, turned to Zhang Cuishan, Yin Susu, and Wuji and said, "Quick~quick, get on the raft and leave here, quick."

Seeing that everyone boarded the raft one by one and drifted into the sea, Ao Kuang couldn't bear it any longer and fell into a coma.
