In that violent explosion that could shatter almost anyone's body, Yin Xiu only felt in darkness. When she finally woke up, her muscles and bones ached, as if they were broken.
He reluctantly turned his neck and took a look. Next to him, lay the pale Hai Dongqing.
Originally, Haidongqing was still translucent, but now it has returned to its original state, except that its face is pale and its breath is weak.
As for the others, they have disappeared.
Yin Xiu immediately cheered up, stretched out his hand, and used [Hand of Light]. Golden energy overflowed from his fingertips, treating Hai Dongqing.
Under Yin Xiu's spell, Hai Dongqing's complexion gradually recovered and his breathing became even.
"Why is it you?" Yin Xiu murmured.
When Hai Dongqing heard this, he subconsciously rolled to the side, clasped his hands on his chest, brought his knees together, and stayed away from Yin Xiu, with a look of horror on his face.
Yin Xiu was stunned for a moment, then sighed randomly and said: "This is the ground, not the bed. You don't have to be so nervous and resort to such classic tricks."
Hai Dongqing's original reaction was indeed like this. Suddenly lying down with a man and hearing such ambiguous words from him would indeed make people think wrongly.
It reminds me of what happens after getting drunk or passing out.
However, she really wondered why Yin Xiu reacted so quickly. Only when she lowered her head did she see her felt hat that had fallen on the ground, and her long black hair hanging down without the felt hat.
"So that's it."
Hai Dongqing glanced at Yin Xiu cautiously, "When did you find out?"
"I checked the injury on your head."
Yin Xiu scratched her face, "After all, if you fall from such a height, you will inevitably get some damage, and you found that your hat fell off."
"Then do you still have..."
"Who do you think I am?"
Yin Xiu glared at her, "Am I some kind of pervert or a pervert? You're so stunned that I still do something worse than a beast?"
"I'm just saying, have you noticed any other injuries of mine? Why are you so excited?"
Hai Dongqing turned his back and said quietly: "You may not do anything to others, but if Ma Xiaoyu is lying next to you, it will be hard to say."
"I'm still surprised. I clearly remember that it was her I arrested, so why are you here?" Yin Xiuye asked in confusion.
"Me?"
Hai Dongqing pointed his finger at himself, his eyes widened, "I only felt vaguely. I was caught when I didn't know anything. In fact, I am the most innocent person."
< br>
"Although you are innocent, because you are the reincarnation of Lord Taibai, you cannot say you are innocent in all these matters and stay out of it safely."
"But this is not my choice."
Hai Dongqing touched her hair. Her original unruly expression had disappeared due to the exposure of her identity. At this moment, she just looked like an ordinary girl, worrying about some things.
She picked up the old felt hat and put it on her head again, covering her hair.
He seemed to have once again become the flexible, cold-blooded young hunter he had been before.
However, Yin Xiu had seen her true appearance, and now it was difficult to connect her with the boy before. No matter how she looked at her, she only thought that Hai Dongqing was a strong-looking girl from a mountain village.
Of course Hai Dongqing didn't expect Yin Xiu to have so many thoughts, she just sighed.
“I thought that being the daughter of an Orion hunter, being born in a mountain village was already a very pitiable thing, and that my life experience could be called miserable.
Now I didn't expect that there would be something worse. I was the so-called incense of Changbai Mountain from the beginning. I was born just to come here and complement the prince named Taiding.
This is really a frustrating thing. ”
Thinking of this, she suddenly turned to look at Yin Xiu and said seriously: "How about you kill me?"
Yin Xiu's eyes were confused, obviously she didn't know what Hai Dongqing meant.
However, Hai Dongqing was not joking. She repeated: "I said, kill me and beat me to pieces. In this case, Taiding will always lose a soul and it will be impossible to ascend."
"Then I'm here?" Yin Xiu said suddenly.
When Hai Dongqing heard this, he was stunned for a moment, then pursed his lips and said, "Are you serious?"
"Of course it's fake."
Yin Xiu took out the wine bag from his body and handed it to Hai Dongqing.
"Why do I have to kill you so well? There is only one human soul in Taiding now. We can't defeat him, so what's the point of killing you?
And what if I kill you, not only is Taibai Shenjun’s incense not extinguished, but he is reincarnated?
You don’t want to see Taiding really regain his true form through some mysterious opportunity and chance, right? ”
Hai Dongqing nodded as if he understood, "So, is it a better choice for the Heavenly Soul to stay with me now?"
"No doubt, this is the best choice."
Yin Xiu subconsciously wanted to rub Hai Dongqing's head as before, but when she reached halfway, she was forced back by a look, and she took it back in embarrassment.
"It's like locking things in a safe, and the heavy box made of iron is right in front of you. There is nothing more reassuring than that."
"So I can't die now?" Hai Dongqing asked.
"Why do you want to die?"
Yin Xiu spread her hands, "Can't we all live well? If that bastard hadn't been determined to collect three souls, we probably wouldn't have fought with him.
And although it is always said that your life is not long and there is not much time left, maybe the disaster you thought you were going to suffer has already passed, and there will not be so many hardships waiting for you next. ”
"Do you believe this when I say it?"
Hai Dongqing glanced at him sideways, "I always thought that you Taoist priests were no worse than those fortune tellers when you made up random things."
"But haven't you met both kinds of people?" Yin Xiu smiled.
"Same."
Hai Dongqing sighed, "If I had known, I shouldn't have accepted your bag of money and brought people into Changbai Mountain before winter."
"Oh? So, if you could go back in time, you would change your mind?"
"Of course I will!"
Hai Dongqing held out two fingers and said, "I have to pay twice the price before I am willing to come."
After the two chatted for a while, Hai Dongqing's physical strength had recovered a bit due to the strong drink handed over by Yin Xiu, and his breathing, hands and feet became stronger.
"It's almost done, we can't stay here anymore."
Yin Xiu gently pulled his hand, and Hai Dongqing was reluctantly pulled up by him.
"Where to go?" she asked.
"Of course we have to find the others first."
Yin Xiu took out paper figures with other people's birthdays and horoscopes written on them from his pocket. These thin pieces of paper were unscathed, which meant that the other people were not in danger and were still alive and well.
It's just like they are now, maybe they fell somewhere and can't get out.
Knowing that they were safe and sound, Hai Dongqing and Yin Xiu breathed a sigh of relief.
Yin Xiu took out the small compass from his pocket and started to correct the direction when the sound of neat footsteps came from above their heads. It turned out that there was a natural passage like a bridge to their left, above their heads, and many people were walking across it, making such sounds.
It was the sound of boots hitting the ground, uniform and loud, as if there was no intention to cover up others' attention.
Yin Xiu had only heard the sound of thick-soled boots near two groups of people since entering the mountain.
One team was an expedition team organized by Krupp, but they were almost dead when they were at the altar. If there were still a few survivors, they should have run outside and not come inside the mausoleum.
Then there is only one possibility left, and that is the imperial army.
Those big warriors, whether it’s stickiness or blood drops, will not wear such heavy military boots, because what they want is lightness of movement and concealment. Wearing such boots and stepping on them casually will tell others. , the enemy has arrived.
In this case, what passed over their heads should be a group of "ordinary" soldiers.
The reason why I think they are extraordinary is because most soldiers cannot afford such good boots. Only the army stationed in Yujing can have such good equipment because it is related to the royal family's face.
"What now?"
Hai Dongqing lowered his voice and air flowed out from between his teeth, "Shall we wait for them to pass?"
Yin Xiu lowered her palms to signal her not to worry, and then also made a weak sound from her throat.
"If it were normal, of course we would hide from these people if we could. There is no need to conflict with them, and we are afraid that we will not be able to escape if they fight."
Yin Xiu swept his shoulders and dusted off the sand that occasionally fell due to vibration.
"But now that we have no place to go, we might as well go to the army camp. They have more information."
"Are you still going?"
Hai Dongqing raised his voice and was instantly covered by Yin Xiu.
"What do you mean by still going? I didn't succeed last time, so shouldn't I pay them a visit this time? Otherwise, wouldn't it be very rude?"
Hai Dongqing angrily took Yin Xiu's hand off. Just when he was about to get angry, he saw Yin Xiu's face full of smiles.
She knew that when Yin Xiu smiled like this, it meant that he had full confidence to do this.
Even though she didn't know where this confidence came from, Yin Xiu had made up her mind and would definitely give it a try.
As such, she didn't say much. She just took out a hunting knife from her boot, held it in her hand, and watched the movement above with vigilance.
Yin Xiu also took out a short knife from his pocket and signaled Hai Dongqing to follow him first and not to act in a hurry.
So in two directions, up and down, Yin Xiu and Hai Dongqing suppressed their breathing and footsteps, and moved forward almost together with the officers and soldiers walking above.
Sometimes, Hai Dongqing felt that the Saturns carried by the officers and soldiers during their march were flying above his head.
This reminded her of the movements when hunting the Black Blind Man in the dense forest.
The black blind man's strength is not very good, otherwise he wouldn't have such a nickname.
These terrifying beasts are huge, but in fact their speed and reaction are not hindered much by their size. They often use their noses to sniff out information around them.
Bears have a strong sense of territory. Whenever you enter its territory, it will often attack you even if it is not hungry.
What's more, this beast is hungry for nine months of the year and relies on its body fat to support itself, especially in the spring when it just crawls out of the cave.
At this time, Hai Dongqing would try his best to hide his figure, put on an animal skin, and then use various vegetation and the strong smell of soil to cover up his smell.
Then she would follow the target step by step like she does now, moving forward slowly, trying to make the blind man think of her as a tree.
Moreover, it must be a tree that bears no fruit, otherwise it will still be unlucky.
When the time is right, Haidongqing will bend his bow and set an arrow, shoot the black blind man in the lungs, penetrate its lung lobes, then turn around and scream, asking the black blind man to chase him, move around, and then he will die. In suffocation caused by hemorrhage.
The head must not be used as a target, because the bear's head is too hard and too thick. Even with a stronger hunting bow, it may not be able to penetrate its skull.
Hai Dongqing was immersed in the memories of bear hunting in the past, so much so that when she felt the smell of grass and trees in her nose, Yin Xiu gently patted her shoulder, interrupting her thoughts.
Yin Xiu didn't say anything, but pointed at it and asked Hai Dongqing to look at it.
Hai Dongqing propped himself up, stretched out half his head from the side of the road, and looked in the direction Yin Xiu pointed.
Then she immediately saw two soldiers taking off their pants and holding the guy aside to release the water.
oops!
Even though he suppressed his voice, Hai Dongqing was still unsteady and fell off the pavement, but was caught by Yin Xiu.
"Are you a psychopath?"
Hai Dongqing suppressed his anger and said, "You want me to see that thing?"
That thing?
The angle Yin Xiu stood at was not as strenuous as Hai Dongqing's. He stood on tiptoe and took a look. Then he realized why Hai Dongqing was so angry and wiped his eyes.
"If you look at toothpicks too much, you will inevitably get needle holes."
He sighed, he really couldn't explain it now.
"Everyone has something, so what's so good about it..."
"Don't talk nonsense, I didn't!" Hai Dongqing almost wanted to punch Yin Xiu in the face.
"Okay, okay, I misunderstood. When I originally asked you to take a look, they hadn't... Anyway, what I meant was that these two are alone, why don't you borrow some clothes from them?"
"I agree!"
Hai Dongqing shook the dagger in his hand.
But Yin Xiu patted her hand and told her to put the dagger away, signaling not to worry.
"What are you waiting for?" Hai Dongqing asked confused.
"Wait until they put on their pants, otherwise I'll scare them later. The smell is too strong."
Hai Dongqing's face turned red and he said nothing.
The two waited for a while, only to hear the two soldiers tighten their belts and sigh comfortably at the same time.
"Is it okay?" Hai Dongqing asked.
As soon as he finished speaking, Yin Xiu suddenly took a deep breath, counted his feet, and rose into the air, like a leopard falling from a tree, hitting the two soldiers.
Before the two soldiers even had time to scream, Yin Xiu had already bumped into the arms of one of them, and slapped the man with his hand, causing the man's chest to dent and his back to protrude, making him look dead.
The other person only felt a flash in front of his eyes, followed by a cold feeling on his neck, and then his throat was pinched and he died.
After finishing the two men in an instant, Yin Xiu used the reaction force to turn over with a kite and brought the two corpses down.
Hai Dongqing was stunned for a moment. Even though he had known Yin Xiu's extraordinary skills before, watching it at such a close distance still made his scalp numb.
And this happened in just one breath, and it was even difficult to see his movements clearly.
"Why, you admire me so much?" Yin Xiu nuzzled her chin.
"It's not that bad. Why don't you have to rely on me to help you sweep the formation?"
Hai Dongqing knelt down and started to take off the soldier's clothes. (End of chapter)
