Chapter 114 All the things that should come and not should come (5)
Mr. Lu did not speak, but held the stick with one hand, and stuck his right hand to the gap that Xue Ji had mentioned. Some secret technique was activated, and the gap suddenly became bright red, and a dazzling spark burst out. A long black gash was cauterized on Mr.'s right hand.As if he didn't know the pain, Mr. Lu slowly let go of his right hand, and without bandaging the wound, he let out a sigh of relief: "Yes, this is indeed the Cangyin Zhiyue, it can't be wrong. The scars cut by Fengzang cannot be faked. But what do you mean when you say it's been destroyed, it's just a shell?"

"This point, you should be clearer than me. If I'm not wrong, the reason why you are leading Chenyue this time is because you have experience in using the Cangyin Moon, and it may even be Chenyue who is still alive. The only one in the village who has this kind of experience." Xue Ji spread his hands, motioning Mr. Lu to continue to examine Cangyinzhiyue, "so you should know that what I said is not a lie, otherwise how could I hand over this invisible murder weapon to you hand? You might as well give it a try, mobilize the Cangyin Moon, and turn me into a living dead."

This request was too risky, and even the enemy couldn't help but sweat for him.But Xue Ji looked so confident, which made Mr. Lu hesitate.He pondered for a long time, and finally he slowly raised the Cangyin Moon.

People held their breath, watching Mr. Lu's movements and Xue Ji's reaction.

A moment that seemed longer than a year passed, Mr. Lu held the Cangyin Zhiyue firmly in his hands, but nothing happened.Xue Ji still stood where she was, with a pleasant smile on her face, showing no sign of being robbed of her sanity.

"Mr. Lu, do you believe my words now?" Xue Ji asked.

Mr. Lu remained silent for a while, and suddenly let go of his hand, and the silvery moon fell on the sand, making a dull and dull sound.He raised his head, looked at the setting sun, and suddenly let out a long whistle.

There is more than one secret technique that can kill people with sound. As soon as An Xingmian heard Mr. Lu's whistling sound, he quickly concentrated his mental strength to prepare to resist.But he soon found out that he was just superfluous. Mr. Lu didn't activate his mental power to launch an aggressive secret technique, he was just venting his emotions.The whistling sound was full of disappointment and sorrow, and everyone present—whether it was his followers or his enemies—could not help feeling sympathetic secretly in their hearts.

After the howling stopped, Mr. Lu lowered his head, as if he was thinking of something.After a long time, he spoke again: "How did you do it?"

"The appearance of the Cangyin Moon is indeed very strong and hard to hurt, but you should also know that the key to its soul-absorbing lies in the embedded soul seal stone," Xue Ji replied, "The power of Star Burning is all concentrated in the soul. Only in Yinshi can Cangyin Zhiyue exert such a powerful power, so I thought of a way and found two secret art masters who hate Chenyue to help, one is Duan Lushan and the other is Tuoba Weiyang."

"Duan Lushan is best at Yu Fei's secret fire technique. Tuoba Weiyang is the opposite of him. He has worked hard all his life to practice the old ice technique," Mr. Lu said, "If I guessed correctly, you asked Duan Lushan to first Cangyinzhiyue burned extremely hot, and then asked Tuoba Weiyang to use Suizheng magic to cool it down sharply, and use the alternating expansion and contraction of cold and heat to make the soul seal stone crack by itself."

"That's right, this is the only way I can think of," Xue Ji said, "and the temperature that Duan Lushan's Yufa magic can reach is not enough, I also invited a Heluo casting master to let him use The Heluo Blast Furnace combined with Duan Lushan's secret technique pushed the flame temperature to the extreme. After three months of repeated melting and freezing for thousands of times, the two mystics almost died of exhaustion. Finally, I heard the words of Cangyin There was a cracking sound coming from inside the moon. The Soul Seal Stone finally shattered, and the Cangyin Moon became an empty shell."

Mr. Lu was silent for a long time, then slowly said: "You are amazing. I never thought that Cangyinzhiyue was not destroyed by Tianqi, but by you..."

He waved his hands and closed his eyes, as if to calm down his emotions. When he opened his eyes again, his eyes were bloodshot: "Anyway, Chenyue lost this round. I won't pester you any more." As for you, Chenyue will not be entangled with you anymore, I want to ask you to let me go."

"You don't intend to take revenge on me?" Xue Ji was very surprised.

"What's the use of getting revenge on you?" Mr. Lu said, "What Chenyue did was never for vendetta. I will not harm even one person for this kind of senseless hatred."

Xue Ji pondered for a while, then nodded: "Okay, I believe what you said. Let him go!"

The last two words are addressed to the nomads.These nomads seemed to be very obedient to Xue Ji's order, and immediately released the shackles for the mystics.Xue Ji bent down to pick up the Cangyinzhiyue, which was no longer effective, and said: "Let's put the friends of Tianqi away together. They originally came here to prevent the Cangyinzhiyue from reappearing, but now their purpose is over. If you reach it, you won’t fight us again.”

The nomads quickly let go of Sky Drive.Sure enough, as Xue Ji said, Tianqi and Chenyue were no longer entangled. In fact, there was a lot of gratitude in Tianqi's eyes.It's just that it was a bit embarrassing to be subdued by the nomads, so they didn't thank them and just left silently.

"Young Master Yuwen, I don't understand why you want to compete for the Cangyin Moon, but as you can see, you can't get it anymore. Please take your people and leave together." Xue Ji said, waving his hand , the heavily tied Liang Jing was pushed out.Liang Jing was ashamed, but Mr. Yuwen turned a blind eye to him, and his eyes looked extremely confused. This was the loss that An Xingmian had never seen in him.After a long time, he took a step and left slowly in a daze. Liang Jing and the female scout followed behind him silently.

"Your father is indeed a formidable man," An Xingmian said in Xue Huaiqing's ear, "Tianqi and Chenyue fell into his hands together, and Mr. Yuwen...seems destined not to survive 40 Years old."

He is benevolent at the bottom of his heart, although Mr. Yuwen has treated him badly many times and almost caused him to lose two fingers, but seeing this hero like this now, it is inevitable that he will feel compassion in his heart.

"Not necessarily." Xue Huaiqing said these two words.

"What may not be?" An Xingmian was puzzled.

"It's not necessarily anything." Xue Huaiqing seemed to be playing with words, but she kept pulling on her sleeves and stroking the jade bracelet on her wrist.Seeing this jade bracelet, An Xingmian suddenly understood what Xue Huaiqing said.

Tianqi left, Chenyue left, and Mr. Yuwen also left.The desert temporarily returned to calm.The nomads began to drive the camels, preparing to leave for the depths of the desert, and Xue Ji finally found time to talk to Xue Huaiqing in peace.

"If you want, you can go back to the tribe with me to stay for two days, but the environment there is too harsh," Xue Ji said, "so it's best for me to accompany you to the town. What we father and daughter want to say, I'm afraid Three days and three nights can’t finish it.”

"It's okay, I'm too tired these days. If I go to the desert again, I'm worried that my body will not be able to bear it and it will drag you down instead." Xue Huaiqing stood up and gently supported Xue Ji, "Let's go back to the small town , I do have a lot to say."

Xue Ji smiled slightly, and was about to reach out to touch Xue Huaiqing's hair, when suddenly her body froze: "You... what are you doing?"

"The poison needle on your waist is very poisonous. Even if I have the antidote, it may leave lifelong disabilities after detoxification," Xue Huaiqing said in a low voice, "so I suggest you, don't act rashly, pretend Act like nothing happened, and listen to us obediently."

Xue Ji glanced around, and found that An Xingmian was standing in the right position, just blocking the sight of the nomads, preventing them from noticing the small movements of Xue Huaiqing's hands.Knowing that it was hopeless to ask for help, he could only continue to say with a smile on his face: "What's going on? You and I just met again after a long absence..."

"It's true that you and I have met for the first time, but it must have nothing to do with the word 'long time away'." Xue Huaiqing also had a smile on her face, but her tone of voice was cold and fierce, "Because you are not me at all. father!"

Xue Ji was stunned, and it took a while before she said in a trembling voice: "You...what are you talking about? Of course I am your father..."

"Of course you are not," Xue Huaiqing interrupted him unceremoniously, "Yes, you do look a bit like me, and you are also very clever in deceiving your tone and expression. I doubt that you have been an actor before. .But you overlooked a fatal flaw!"

"What flaw?" Xue Ji asked boldly.

"I have been showing you this thing since you came to me," Xue Huaiqing shook her bracelet, "but after you saw it, there was no reaction at all. I have been paying attention to your Eyes, no, this thing has no meaning to you, your eyes glanced at it and fell elsewhere. To you, it is just an ordinary decoration on my hand, as if it does not exist. "

Xue Ji frowned, and suddenly seemed to realize: "This, this is what your mother left you?"

A look of remorse appeared on his face, Xue Huaiqing nodded: "Yes, this is the only relic left to me by my mother, it is undoubtedly very important, but you didn't react when you saw it, I will Come to understand, you are not the real Xue Ji. Why did you pretend to be him?"

Yuren pretending to be Xueji sighed, closed his eyes and pondered for a long time, and finally said: "Come with me, I will take you to meet someone in the town, and then explain everything to you."

"Okay, but you must not play tricks." Xue Huaiqing said, still holding the fake Xue Ji in an affectionate manner, but the poisonous needle hidden in her hand did not relax.An Xingmian followed behind the two, and the three of them walked towards the town together.

"You go back to the tribe and wait for orders, I will go back later by myself." Fake Xueji announced to the nomads.Although he pretended to be Xue Ji in front of outsiders, it seemed that he still had a high status in the tribe.An Xingmian suddenly had a vague guess, what was the reason for a person with such a high status to come out and impersonate Xue Ji?Could it be...

The group of three people had their own concerns, hardly spoke along the way, and returned to the town when it was dark.The bloody fight during the day seemed to be just an insignificant episode, and the town returned to its former hustle and bustle. At this time, the town was brightly lit, and the smell of meat and wine wafted in the air, masking the smell of sand.

"After tossing and tossing for so long, you should be hungry, right?" Yuren said, "Do you want to eat something first?"

"I'm not hungry." Xue Huaiqing shook her head.

"But I'm a little hungry." An Xingmian pinched her palm lightly, "It's never a harm to fill up first."

Xue Huaiqing also came to her senses, if she had to face any enemies next, it would be inconvenient to do it on an empty stomach and lack of physical strength, and since she was good at poison, she didn't have to worry about any tricks in the food.Just as she was thinking, An Xingmian had already walked to a roadside stall, bought some steaming sesame seed cakes and brought them back.

"Afraid that I will arrange an ambush at the eating place?" Yuren smiled wryly, "Things are not what you imagined, but...you can do whatever you want."

He took a sesame seed cake casually, not worried that the other party would poison it.After the three of them ate a few pancakes in a muffled voice, Yuren led the two into the Willow Inn that was almost demolished during the day because of the Battle of Tianqu Chenyue.At this time, the inn lobby was still in a mess, but the original residents did not run away, and some people continued to live, perhaps because they were not surprised by such incidents in this small town.

Yuren walked up the rickety stairs and climbed all the way to the highest floor, with An Xue and the two following closely behind.When they reached the top floor, the two found a skylight in front of them, a ladder was placed under the skylight, and the moonlight was shining through the skylight.Yuren walked under the skylight, took out a pyrotechnic tube from his pocket, lit the fuse, and a crimson firework shot straight into the sky, illuminating the sky above.

"Climb up to the skylight and wait on the roof, someone will come looking for you soon," Yuren said, "I have nothing to do here, Miss Xue, you can let me go back."

Xue Huaiqing hesitated, but did not let go, but An Xingmian patted her on the shoulder: "I think he told the truth this time, besides, even though he pretended to be your father, he did not harm us from the beginning to the end. Let him go." Let's go back."

Xue Huaiqing gritted her teeth and withdrew the poisonous needle.Yuren pretending to be Xueji smiled: "It's really a blessing that Xueji has a smart daughter like you. I really hope that you are my daughter."

He turned around and walked down the stairs slowly. An Xingmian and Xue Huaiqing looked at each other, climbed up the ladder one after the other, and reached the roof.The roof was empty, with nothing but tiles, but the moonlight was clear and the vision was broad. From a distance, the desert was a pure silver, a little more gentle than the wind and sand during the day.

The two sat down hand in hand, admiring the rare moonlight while waiting, and felt a sense of connection with each other, feeling a long-lost tranquility.Xue Huaiqing said softly: "It would be great if there were not so many shabby troubles. I can do whatever I want, and I can look at the moon quietly like this every day."

An Xingmian smiled: "There will be a day when no matter how people change, the moon will never change and will always be there waiting for us. We have gone through so much, and we are still alive and well, which shows that luck is not bad enough."

Xue Huaiqing was about to say something when she suddenly noticed a small white dot approaching in the distant sky.She realized something in an instant, and stood up all of a sudden, her legs and feet were a little unsteady due to excitement, she staggered and almost fell, An Xingmian quickly supported her.The two looked up together, watching the white dot getting closer, and gradually saw the silhouette of a feathered figure.The feathered man's wings are almost transparent pure white, stretched out unusually wide, and with a bright and soft light, such wings cannot be condensed by ordinary feathered men.

"What beautiful wings! This must be a feathered man with noble or even royal blood." An Xingmian said while holding Xue Huaiqing's hand tightly, feeling her body trembling slightly .

The Yuren flew to the roof of the Willow Inn, landed steadily, and the wings on the back turned into a blue light, and then disappeared invisible.Immediately afterwards, he took a step forward and walked towards Xue Huaiqing, but compared with the graceful and vigorous flying posture just now, his gait was not graceful at all, it could even be said to be very ugly.

—Because it is a lame man.When he walked, only his right foot was able to support the ground, but his left leg was disabled and dragged behind weakly.

"We met again, but this time, I won't hide my identity," the cripple said, "I am Xue Ji, your biological father, this time it's true, I definitely didn't lie to you."

The silver moonlight poured down, illuminating this familiar face of An Xingmian and Xue Huaiqing.An Xingmian once captured this person, threatened him with Xue Huaiqing's poison, and asked him to help him frame Tianqi; An old bastard with no future or dignity.

He is the nine-rate little character in the Qingtian Club of the Ningzhou Third-Rate Gang: Lame Ji Lao San.
