Chapter 57: Escape(1/2)
He regretted the moment when Changfeng fell into the water, because he saw a smirk that no one could notice on the corner of the Ghost Face True Lord's mouth. It was precisely because of this terrible smile that a chill suddenly appeared in Changfeng's heart. Could it be that something was trapped in the pond! Then he was seeking death.
A mouthful of blood surged upwards. Although the Ghost Face True Lord's palm had already retracted 50% of its strength, it was still extremely domineering. Changfeng's internal organs shocked him to the position, so he would naturally bleeding. When Changfeng fell into the pond and dived to the bottom, he finally couldn't help but vomited the blood. He couldn't let the Ghost Face True Lord see that he was injured.
There were some rocks and some water plants at the bottom of the pond, and there was no danger. Changfeng closed his eyes and felt the flow of water around him to determine the direction he left. Once his mind calmed down, the slightest movement around him passed by his consciousness, and finally found where the water flowed. Changfeng was happy and hoped to escape.
Changfeng re-adjusts his internal breath. At this time, the superb water kung fu is the capital to save his life. He has to move forward without making any movement. The pond is not deep or shallow, and he is afraid that the Ghost Face True Lord will not keep his promise and shoot cold arrows into the water. With his current skills, he cannot escape at all, because he clearly heard at the bottom of the water that the onlookers had left, and the Ghost Face True Lord had no scruples.
In fact, Changfeng quietly escaped a danger, that is, the pond is not ordinary fish, it is a kind of carnivorous fish species. As long as there is blood, they can immediately smell it and quickly surround it. Instantly, they can tear the bloody objects into pieces. Changfeng just spits a mouthful of blood and immediately leaves that position. Although he still has a little bloody smell, the fish goes to the place with the strongest bloody smell, and he doesn't pay attention to it. Changfeng escapes the disaster without realizing it.
Finally, he found the exit. It was a half-human-high circular passage. Changfeng opened his eyes and took advantage of the little light reflected by the moon to the water. He found that someone had sealed it with a barbed wire in front of the passage. Changfeng used his soft sword to pry open an entrance that could accommodate him, climbed in by himself, and closed the barbed wire again, leaving a gap.
When Changfeng turned around, he was stunned. He felt the feeling of powerlessness for the first time in history. He saw a set of rotating blades. Although the speed was not very fast, it was vortex. The gap between the blades was very small and it was definitely not enough to accommodate a person. Moreover, he didn't know how long this passage was. The person who designed this passage was really a genius. Such a simple device was thousands of times more brilliant than having too many exquisite mechanisms.
Retreat is death, and moving forward is death. Changfeng hesitated. This was the first time hesitation he had when facing problems. Could it be that he really had to sleep in this small pond, his life, and his beautiful fiancée, and his life had only gone a short period. No, he could not just accept his fate. He had to live. A strong survival hope rose in Changfeng's body. He decided to break through this death channel.
Changfeng thought carefully. To pass this death channel, he must first know the bone shrinkage skills. Without this ability, nothing can be discussed. Secondly, he must have solid water skills and the speed must be grasped properly. The most important thing is that after you shrink your bones, you must be able to use your water skills and your agile feelings. There are very few people in this world who can reduce your bones, because he needs superb internal skills, plus the water skills, it is not enough to know water. It is enough to be able to swim in the water like a fish without any obstacles. There are even fewer people like this. If Changfeng had not carefully learned the water skills from Cao Ruifeng in Duanqingzhai, he would not dare to make the decision to break through this channel at once. These are not enough. He also has extraordinary courage and adaptability to the situation, so he has hope of escaping from death. This is a huge test for Changfeng, who has suffered serious internal injuries.
After taking a try, Changfeng barely recovered some of his skills, and used his skills to shrink himself into a smaller size from the gap space. Then he used his skills to force out the airflow from the soles of his feet and sent himself into the rotating turbine. He could not see anything inside. He could only rely on this feeling and move forward in the direction of the rotation of the turbine. I don’t know how long it took. Changfeng’s breath was almost used. It was impossible to turn around at this time, so he could only move forward blindly, no matter what kind of swords and fire was in front of him!
When a trace of light appeared in front of Changfeng's eyes, he felt happy, and the breath in his chest ejaculated, and when he restored himself to his original size, he suddenly felt dark in front of him and fainted from exhaustion.
The Ghost Face True Lord did not let someone guard by the pond. He knew that Changfeng was injured and had a very small chance of escaping. He knew that there were some things in the pond. These things may not have much effect on a martial arts master who was not injured. However, for a seriously injured person, even if his martial arts skills are high, the chance of getting out of the body is almost zero. He fully believes that because he is arrogant and can get out of it under complete circumstances.
The next day, the Ghost Face True Lord announced his retreat again. The reason was that others didn't know. He knew very well. His Ninth Level of Netherworld True Qi had not been cultivated well. He had a birthday out of his early stage. Unexpectedly, he met an assassin like Changfeng, who had a strong martial arts skills. In the fierce battle, the true Qi broke out and some of the meridians were blocked. He wanted to go into seclusion and open these blocked meridians. At the same time, he trained the Ninth Level of Netherworld True Qi and handed over the affairs of Long Lishu, who was in the same class as Wen Yu to deal with. Wen Yu was injured in his hand and lost the power to handle affairs in the sect. He could only revolve around Shui Ningxin all day long, hoping to win the favor of beautiful women. It seems that he really likes Shui Ningxin.
Shui Ningxin spent eighteen years in the sword tomb, and her emotional life can be said to be a blank piece of paper. After seeing such a passionate pursuit, Wen Yu's extreme behavior frightened her and quickly packed up her things and left Loulan City. After Wen Yu learned about it, she didn't know what medicine she had taken, and chased her like she was pestering her. She had the spirit of becoming a good person if she failed.
The guardian of the Netherworld Sect is not in vain. Shui Ningxin has no experience in the martial arts world, and his whereabouts are still under Wen Yu's control. He quickly caught up with him. Shui Ningxin can't escape, and he can't hide, and he can't do anything. He can only let him go. If you want to follow, just follow him. This will help Shui Ningxin eliminate a lot of trouble. With a flower protector like Wen Yu, who would come up to touch this nail?
Changfeng slowly opened his eyes and found himself lying on a pile of soft grass. He looked at the environment he was in carefully. This was a small thatched hut. Changfeng wanted to get up, but unfortunately, his whole body was weak and his joints seemed to be peeling off. A heart-wrenching stinging pain came from his chest. It was the place where the Zhonggui Face Zhenjun had a palm.
The clothes on his body were actually dry, and they were not the clothes on his body. Could it be that he was saved by someone? Changfeng thought.
"You, why... why did you wake up so soon?" A man holding a medicine bowl walked into the door and looked at him in surprise. Then he seemed to find himself too excited. He continued, "You have been in a coma for five days, but I didn't expect you to wake up so soon."
Changfeng recognized him, and the person who saved him was the one he met by mistake in some forbidden land of the Tianjia family. Although Changfeng woke up, he didn't even have the strength to speak, so he could only look at the man with gratitude.
"Come on, drink this bowl of medicine." Tian Xin carefully used a spoon to send the medicine to Changfeng's mouth.
After waiting for a long time, I found that the medicine in the spoon did not decrease at all. Then I realized that Changfeng didn’t even have the strength to open his mouth, so how could he drink medicine?
So Tianxin helped Changfeng up and leaned in his arms. Although Changfeng could not move, his skills were greatly reduced, but his most basic feeling was still sensitive. He clearly felt that there was a pair of warm flesh balls on the chest of the person behind him, burning his back like fire. Changfeng had this feeling. It was when Cao Ruifeng hugged him from behind. This young man named Tianxin must be a woman. A strange emotion surged in his heart. He would not have changed his clothes for him!
Tianxin pried open Changfeng's mouth and slowly jared the extremely bitter medicine to Changfeng, until he drank all the whole bowl of medicine.
Tianxin carefully held Changfeng and lay down again, touching Changfeng's strange eyes. He thought he was worried about his injuries, so he comforted him: "Don't worry, when I find the Red Golden Crown Snake, I will completely heal your internal injuries."
Although Changfeng is familiar with many rare beasts in the world, this is the first time he has heard of this red golden-crowned snake, and it is related to his injuries. He is so troubled that he can't speak now that he can't ask clearly, so he can only wait and ask later.
Changfeng suddenly saw something in his eyes. He was very familiar with that thing. It was his own skin mask, which means his true face. The girl Tianxin who saved him had already seen it.
Tianxin also noticed what Changfeng looked at, which was taken off Changfeng's face. If Changfeng had not been soaked in the water for a long time, the skin was a little shedding, Tianxin would not have found that there was another look under the old face. At first, she thought that the beard was also stuck. When she pulled a few pieces down, she found that it was real, so she treated Changfeng as a middle-aged man in her thirties.
Tianxin smiled mysteriously at Changfeng and said, "Uncle, don't worry, only the two of us know this secret now, Tianxin will not tell it."
Changfeng blinked, showing his understanding, and then cast a grateful look, making Tianxin, who had never been in contact with a man so close to him, blushed.
"The palm in your chest is the Netherworld Divine Palm of the Ghost Face True Lord. Fortunately, you used your internal force to protect your heart meridians, and with the Tianxin Pill of our family, you can temporarily save your life. If you want to recover, you must use the Golden Crown Snake's Golden Crown Snake as medicine. After you get better and you can walk around, I will take you to find the Red Crown Snake." Tianxin explained to Changfeng Dao.
Changfeng fell into a coma again. This time he woke up three days later. When he woke up, he was able to move and could make a sound from his mouth. His body was still very weak. Fortunately, Changfeng carried a lot of silver, plus the 100 taels of silver given by Wen Yu, so he and Tianxin would not worry about their livelihood. Tianxin went out for him every day to find the Red Golden Crown Snake, and he returned in disappointment every time.
The peaceful days passed quickly, and it had been more than a month, and the silver was almost spent. Although Changfeng's body was getting better day by day, after knowing that Tianxin was a woman, Changfeng consciously avoided it and did not talk to Tianxin. He ate and drank the things made by Tianxin and the medicine he decomposed. He was hit by the Ghost Face True Lord's palm, and it was not difficult to be able to recover his skills in time. However, after he was seriously injured, he forced the bone shrinkage technique. This skill was very damaged to the meridians. Now Changfeng is almost no different from a useless man.
Winter is here. Because the climate in Loulan is relatively humid, it looks particularly cold when the temperature drops. Tianxin and Changfeng are wearing thin clothes. If Changfeng's internal strength has recovered a lot, this cold is nothing. Now his meridians are damaged and his skills are less than one layer. In addition, the thatched hut they live in cannot block the wind and rain, and cannot make fire. If it burns, they will not even have a place to live.
I don’t know how Brother Qi and Cao Ruifeng, who are far away in Duanqing Village, are doing now, and when will they be able to reunite with them. When he thinks about this, he can’t help but feel a little melancholy in his heart.
There was a sound of footsteps behind him. Changfeng knew that Tianxin had returned from collecting herbs for him. Changfengzhu smiled at Tianxin and said, "Thank you for more than a month of care for Miss. Mo Feng will definitely repay you in the future."
Tianxin was shocked at first, and what was shocked was that the other party had already known her true identity, but then he didn't take this seriously. If he had not noticed it for such a long time, he would not deserve to fight the Ghost Face True Lord. He smiled and said, "My real name is Tian Xiner. I didn't expect that the first words that the uncle said to Xiner when he woke up was this!"
Changfeng looked at her cheerful smile and couldn't help but be infected by her. He also smiled and said, "Mo Feng will definitely repay Miss Xin'er's life-saving grace."
"Uncle is really amazing. No one in Loulan dares to assassinate the Ghost-faced True Lord alone." Tian Xiner said infinitely.
"Uncle?" Changfeng looked down at himself, and then realized that it was his beard that had not been shaved for several months that made Tian Xiner mistakenly think of her real age. Anyway, she didn't want others to know too much, so she misunderstood and said, "What happened after this? Did the Ghost Face True Lord send me someone to arrest me?"
"Strange, since the uncle made such a fuss at the National Master's Mansion, he has nothing to do. As usual, Loulan City has not seen any notice to arrest anyone, and there is nothing unusual at all." Tian Xiner didn't understand the reason.
"Can this Ghost-faced True Lord really keep his promise?" Changfeng said to himself.
"What did the uncle say?"
"Nothing, the uncle is just strange, he just doesn't understand."
"We have almost used the money, and the uncle's health is gradually getting better. Xin'er wants to leave here and go to another place with her to find the Red Golden Crown Snake?" Tian Xiner suggested.
Changfeng heard Tian Xiner mention the four words "Red Golden Crown Snake" many times, and didn't know what it was, so he asked: "What is the Red Golden Crown Snake? Can it really cure my injuries?"
"The Ghost Face True Lord's Netherworld Divine Palm among the uncles. In addition to using the palm, only the Red Golden Crown Snake's snake's snake crown can be completely resolved, so we have to find the Red Golden Crown Snake to help the uncle recover his skills." Tian Xiner explained patiently.
Changfeng knew about his family affairs. The palm injury of the Netherworld Divine Palm was now suppressed by a very fast drug. I don’t know which medicine has such great effect. It may be what Tianxin Dan mentioned in Tian Xiner. Changfeng said with Tian Xiner’s support: “Is my palm injury suppressed by the girl’s Tianxin Dan?”
"How do you know?" Tian Xiner asked strangely. These were what she said to Changfeng when he was in a coma. Could this person still hear what others were saying in a coma? What kind of kung fu is this?
"I heard someone say this in a daze." Changfeng said awkwardly. Could it be that he was awake when Tian Xiner wiped her body, but he just couldn't move, so he was embarrassed to pretend to be unconscious.
"The Tianxin Dan can only suppress the internal injuries of your body for one hundred days. After one hundred days, the Tianxin Dan will have no effect." Tianxin'er said quietly, and it was obvious that she was also worried about Changfeng's injuries.
Changfeng comforted Tian Xiner optimistically and said, "Miss Xiner, you don't have to worry. If God didn't let me die, I wouldn't die so easily."
"Where is my mask?" Changfengzhe remembered that he saw his human skin mask when he woke up for the first time, and he never saw it again since.
Tian Xiner glanced at him and slowly took out a handkerchief from her arms. The handkerchief was wrapped in her human skin mask.
Changfeng took the handkerchief with Tian Xiner's virginity and put the mask with a little body temperature under his nose and sniffed it. Seeing Changfeng's action, Tian Xiner's face turned red with shame. She didn't understand what Changfeng's action meant. Is it interesting to him? Although he called him "uncle", it was when he was injured. He couldn't tell what his age was. Now it seems that he is not very old. If he shaved off the messy beard, he wouldn't know what it would look like. Tian Xiner looked up at Changfeng and quickly lowered her head shyly again. The girl was in love with spring, so she naturally thought about that aspect.
Changfeng did not notice the affectionate change of Tian Xiner. He just stared at the human skin mask in his hand and pondered. After a while, he seemed to have made a major decision and said: "Since Miss Xiner collects this mask as a treasure, then this mask should be regarded as a gift from Mo Feng to the girl."
Tian Xiner listened and felt unreasonable. She took the mask from Changfeng's hand, put it in her arms, and hid it closely.
"Don't uncle have a big deal about this mask?" Tian Xiner asked in confusion.
"The assassination failed, this mask is no longer important. You don't want to walk with a wanted criminal, right?" Changfeng said with a smile.
"Isn't the government not making any list documents to arrest the wanted uncle?" Tian Xiner said.
"It's not the government, it's a member of the Netherworld Sect." Changfeng explained
"Xin'er understands."
"What are you going to eat tonight?" Changfeng was a little hungry.
"Xin'er is incompetent, she only beat a pheasant and picked some fruits." Tian Xin'er said embarrassedly.
"I haven't smelled meat for a long time. Is there any wine?" Changfeng said excitedly.
"The pheasant is for Xin'er to eat. The uncle can only eat fruits. As for wine, that's even more impossible. The uncle's injury cannot drink, and our money must be kept for flowers on the road." Tian Xin'er shattered Changfeng's wish.
"That's my money?" Changfeng said in confusion.
"I saved your life. Everything you have is Xin'er's. The uncle can't control how Xiner is used." She could really find a reason.
"How can eating fruits help my health? Without meat, how can I have the energy to rush on the road?" Changfeng begged with a sad face.
"What the uncle said is a bit reasonable, but it still doesn't work. At most, Xin'er will give the uncle another Tianxin Pill." Tian Xin'er thought for a while and refused.
"Can you eat that stuff fill?" Changfeng didn't have to doubt it, but didn't believe it at all.
"No, but it has the effect of fasting. However, after taking one, you have to sleep for seven days before you wake up."
"Why, how could this medicine have such a side effect?" Changfeng Qi said, there is such a strange medicine in the world, which can make people sleep for seven days after taking it, and the time is still so on time.
"Xin'er seemed to have forgotten that the uncle woke up after only five days of sleep. I don't know if the Tianxin Dan has failed or if there is a problem with the uncle's health." Tian Xiner herself couldn't figure out the condition inside Changfeng.
Looking at Tian Xiner's eyes shining with excitement, Changfeng guessed in his heart that she might have regarded herself as a test subject. She couldn't find the Red Golden Crown Snake a few days ago. Tian Xiner didn't know how many times she tried Changfeng's prescription, but it didn't work. In the end, she gave up. He didn't want to arouse the interest of this girl.
This girl is a typical example of a good wife and mother when she becomes crazy. She is a witch who doesn't care about anything. Regardless of whether the medicine is poisonous or not, she will all be poured into Changfeng's belly. Fortunately, nothing happened yet, otherwise Changfeng would not die under the palm of the Ghost Face True Lord, and died under the crazy experiment of saving her own people.
"Why are there only these?" Changfeng looked at the wild fruits that Tian Xiner picked for him.
"The tree is too high, I can't climb up." Tian Xiner smiled gently and sweetly, as if she said that this was not my fault.
"Will anyone teach you how to use light skills?" Changfeng sighed and reminded.
"I forgot the light skills, I will remember it next time." Tian Xiner bit the pheasant meat and said. The appearance really made Changfeng jealous, but there was no way. He had to bow his head under the eaves. Even if he robbed him, he didn't have the strength. Changfeng watched Tian Xiner swallow a pheasant into his stomach, gritting his teeth in his heart. No, he is your savior, how can he do this? Alas, stay hungry overnight.
Changfeng swallowed all the fruits randomly and poured them on the hay. After a while, the person fell asleep in a daze.
This is a mountainous area, and it is particularly cold at night. Although this thatched hut has shielded them from a lot of wind and rain, because their clothes are too thin, Tian Xiner curled up on the hay and shivered constantly, and was obviously frozen.
Changfeng is not awakened by the cold, but is awakened from hunger. Think about it, there are only a few fruits, enough for a man to eat, and the sound of his stomach gusting until midnight will wake up.
Changfeng felt very embarrassed when he saw Tian Xin'er trembling. A girl held back the cold weather and accompanied her to freeze in a deserted place. She had given him medicine and had resentment for not giving him pheasant meat to eat long ago.
Changfeng took off his only coat and walked over to cover Tian Xiner. Tian Xiner was not asleep at all. She saw Changfeng's every move. No one at home had such an active relationship with her except for a good aunt. Unexpectedly, an outsider could actually ignore his coldness and keep his clothes on his own. He was moved and sobbed in a low voice.
Isn’t this just covering a piece of clothing? Why did you cry? Changfeng really didn’t understand what happened to Miss Xiner this day. He just wanted to lift it out and put it down again, saying, “Miss Xiner, what’s wrong with you? Why did you cry?”
It doesn't matter if this question is, Tian Xiner suddenly got up and threw herself into Changfeng's arms and cried even more fiercely. Changfeng's coat was originally put on Tian Xiner. At this time, Changfeng only had a piece of underwear on his body. The tears that broke the dam immediately wet the clothes on Changfeng's chest. Now, when the wind blew like this, Changfeng felt that the heart was cold, and that was the place where the palm was injured. Changfeng was stimulated and couldn't help coughing.
Thanks to this cough, Tian Xiner, who was crying, raised her head and saw what was going on. Seeing Changfeng coughing constantly, her face turned red, she couldn't help but find Changfeng's arm, trying to take her pulse to see what was going on. Changfeng looked at Tian Xiner in a hurry, knowing that she was tightening herself, she actually stopped coughing and said with a smile: "It's nothing big, it's just that someone wet my clothes just now, and suddenly felt a little cold."
Tian Xiner could not see Changfeng's chest in the dark, so she could only touch it gently with her hand. Although this hand had touched Changfeng's skin more than once, and it was in close contact, this time it was through a layer of clothes, and the small fingers continued to stroke it from Changfeng's abdomen. Wherever the finger went, it seemed like it was touching a soldering iron. Changfeng's heartbeat accelerated unknowingly. He could have controlled his heartbeat, but now he only had one layer of skill, and he was simply powerless.
To be continued...
