Chapter 773 Chapter 773: Awakening [Please vote]
Although Chao Lian wished he could bury his brothers’ corpses now, his body did not allow it, and even with the help of Fourth Uncle Lin, it was difficult for him to do so. Facing Chao Lian's gaze, Fourth Uncle Lin said with a hint of annoyance: "It would be nice to have a literary scholar to help you!"
You actually dislike him?
Not every literary scholar can kill everyone, right?
Chao Lian knew that Fourth Uncle Lin had misunderstood, and hurriedly explained that he did not dislike it. In fact, he was satisfied that he could meet Fourth Uncle Lin in this situation. After hearing this, Fourth Uncle Lin softened his expression. He thought for a moment and transformed into a blue bird to send a message.
He also made a special trip to explain to Chao Lian so that he wouldn't have to think too much.
"Write a letter to Shao Bai and ask him if the things can be moved."
Chao Lian didn't know who this "Shao Bai" was yet, so he didn't take it to heart. After a while, Uncle Lin received a reply.
He turned around and took out a golden bronze tripod.
Enduring his disgust, he picked out a fat, white, soft insect with chopsticks and handed it to Chao Lian's mouth: "I know you are filial and don't want to be contaminated with meat. But this thing It is raised in Shaobai. It is a vegetarian and eating it can strengthen the body and nourish the body. ”
Of course, this is what the master and disciple said.
Uncle Lin doesn’t know the specific effect.
Chao Lian pursed his lips and refused to open them.
Fourth Uncle Lin urged impatiently: "What are you still doing? If you keep whining, the bodies will either rot to death or be buried in the pit by Shaobai. Are you so particular at this time?"
Chao Lian was doubtful, frowned and ate the worm.
He thought he was going to endure his nausea, but as soon as the writhing bug entered his mouth, it turned into a stream of warmth, flowing down his tongue and throat into his limbs, bones, and meridians. An unprecedented clarity and vitality circulated through the meridians, suppressing the pain caused by internal injuries.
He couldn't help but ask: "What is this?"
Sishu Lin said: "The poisonous insects raised by Shaobai."
Chao Lian's face was filled with anger. Change: "Gu worm?"
Because of Shaochong's experience, their brothers hated the word "gu worm" with all their heart, but Fourth Uncle Lin was his savior, and he was not prone to attacks. I had to endure it forcefully.
Chao Lian couldn't help but make insinuating remarks: "The art of witchcraft is rare. I wonder where Mr. Shaobai comes from?"
Uncle Lin said: "Shaobai said you have met before."
Now it was Chao Lian's turn to be surprised: "Have you met?"
He recalled carefully, but he couldn't remember that there was a person named "Shao Bai" among the people he knew. A master of witchcraft.
Because Chao Lian Chongxiao could not eat meat and fish, but as a wounded soldier he had to eat, Fourth Uncle Lin had to take out other dry food and put it in a clay pot to heat and soak until soft. While busy, he said: "More than half a year ago, at the Shangnan County Office, didn't you brothers encounter a young man carrying a wooden stick and had a brief conflict?"
Chao Lian's eyes opened wider and wider: "Yes, is that person?"
Shu Lin said: "Well, he is Shaobai."
Gongxi clan, Jimo clan, name Autumn, the word is Shaobai.
Chao Lian blurted out: "This Mr. Shaobai is the high priest of this generation of the Gongxi tribe? Gongxi Qiu's nephew?"
Before Fourth Uncle Lin could say anything, the depths of the cave slowly An old man walked out and asked: "What kind of nephew is Gong Xiqiu?"
Chao Lian's heart was racing at this moment.
Joy and sadness intertwined into complex feelings in my heart, and tears rolled down my face: [Brothers, have you seen it? The high priest of the Gongxi tribe is here. Thirteen is completely saved! 】
The old man walked out of the shadows slowly, looking decrepit.
The old voice asked again: "Who is Gong Xiqiu's nephew?"
Chao Lian woke up from his emotions and told Shao Bai and Shi San that after the conflict, Gong Xiqiu came to visit. Details one by one.
The old man listened silently and did not express his position.
For a long time, he asked: "Do you have any evidence?"
"Gong Xiqiu and Mr. Shaobai look very similar."
Anyone who is not blind will say that The two are related by blood, but the difference lies in their age and temperament. Gong Xiqiu is older and naturally much more mature. He has been on the battlefield all year round, his hands are stained with countless lives, and his eyebrows are sharp and bloody, like a thorny rose that absorbs blood and blooms; the young man is a young man who has never experienced anything in the world. , although his appearance also has a bit of bewitching beauty, he can't help but he is ignorant, clear and clean, more like a snow peony carefully cultivated and grown in a greenhouse...
The old man lowered his eyes and recalled the ever-burning lanterns of his clan. .
There is indeed a lamp with the name "Gong Xiqiu" engraved inside.
But——
“I have heard a little bit about Gong Xiqiu, but——Shaobai cannot be his nephew. You should admit your mistake.” Outsiders don’t know Shaobai. The details, but how could the old man not know, "The age is completely inappropriate..."
Although Shaobai's body is not old, but if you include the age when his body's time has stopped, giving Gong Xiqiu Being a brother is enough.
“Similar looks don’t mean anything. The Gongxi clan has been hidden in the world for many years and lives in a closed environment. The looks of the clan members are more or less similar.” Those who are ugly are more likely to be weird, while those who are upright and handsome are more likely to have similar looks. , the features are more accessible.
Chao Lian was surprised: "Then why do they look so similar?"
The old man said lightly: "Is it possible that she prefers this type of god worshiped by the Gongxi tribe?"
>The successive high priests of the Gongxi tribe all have similar looks, but the old man is not closely related to the next high priest after him.
Chao Lian: "..."
Uncle Lin: "...Does that god still care about his face?"
Gee, it sounds more like an evil god.
The old man asked back: "The secular royal court doesn't look at face when selecting talents? It not only looks at face, but also family background and bloodline."
In this regard, the gods are not so strict.
"In short, Shaobai cannot be Gong Xiqiu's nephew, but they are both members of the same clan, so if there is a chance, they can meet." After all, I can't accompany Shaobai for a lifetime, " Just rest and recover, don’t think too much.”
After half an hour, Chao Lian recovered a lot.
Although he cannot use force, he can walk normally without any problem.
He also met Shaobai. The young man was a little more mature than the last time he met. One of them burst into tears without holding back, and Shaobai was so scared that he froze in place and did not dare to move. He only recovered after hearing that Chao Lian came here to collect his brother's bones.
“It’s not easy to find——”
He was carrying a shovel, and a big hole had been dug behind him.
Shaobai is warm-hearted and takes the initiative to help him find someone. Move one out and let Chao Lian identify it. If it is not the target, put it in the pit and place it.
Most of these corpses were mutilated, and even though they had been protected with word spirits to delay their decay, the air was still filled with a disgusting smell. Chao Lian seemed to be unable to smell it, repeating the mechanical movements over and over again. Finally, Huang Tian paid off his hard work. When he saw the corner of someone's clothes, there was a buzz in his head, and he knelt on the ground and cried unnaturally.
Shaobai looked at Chao Lian, who was about to faint, with confusion. His intelligence was blocked, and not only was he not very smart, he was also very slow to respond to emotions. He didn't quite understand why Chao Lian was like this. He only knew that the person lying on the ground was very important to Chao Lian.
He had also seen this scene with Fourth Uncle Lin. Fourth Uncle Lin was just out of danger at that time. When he woke up for the first time, he cried so much that his whole body convulsed and his wounds even burst. He didn't eat or drink for several days. He was completely different from the Fourth Uncle Lin now...
Shaobai once asked his teacher Uncle Lin why he reacted like this. He obviously saved his life, shouldn't he be happy?
The teacher looked calmly and said: [It is natural for a blood relative to die in vain. Ayan, one day you will understand. 】
Shaobai shook his head: [Ayan, don’t feel so uncomfortable. 】Although he could not empathize with his feelings, Shaobai was considerate and did not disturb him. After Chao Lian collected his emotions, he continued to identify.
Before Sixth Brother woke up, several brothers were found.
Chao Lian used unskilled techniques to resew their severed limbs, borrowed clean clothes from Fourth Uncle Lin, and chose a relatively high location in the mountains to bury them. Facing the northwest, looking at the homeland thousands of miles away.
As a literary scholar, Lao Liu's physique and recovery ability are not as strong as Chao Lian Biao. When he woke up, Chao Lian's internal injuries had healed by 30%, and the Danfu's martial energy had also accumulated a little. He could easily deal with the beasts in the mountains, not for food, of course, but for their hides. The three brothers are now penniless and unfamiliar with the place, so they have to make some money and save for travel expenses.
"Brother Liu, are you awake?"
Chao Lian was ecstatic when he saw the movement of Lao Liu.
Lao Liu's reaction was no better than Chao Lian's.
When he learned that he was not dead, the bones of his brothers were carefully placed, and a man in his thirties hugged Chao Lian and cried bitterly. His desire to die was also dispelled by Chao Lian's persuasion and Shao Chong, who was still unconscious, but looked even more taciturn.
"Sixth brother, sister-in-law, nieces and nephews are still waiting for us." It is difficult for orphans and widowed mothers to survive in this world, even if the forces that take over Shangnan County are willing to treat them well and use this to show off to the outside world and gain a good reputation. , but it’s still not as good as when my eldest brother was alive.
After hearing this, Lao Liu worked hard to eat and practice.
What the brothers are most worried about is Shaochong.
As a result, three days, five days, ten days, half a month... except that the breath gradually returned to peace, there was no sign of awakening.
The two of them were completely panicked.
Lao Liu's medical skills are not effective, so he can only ask Shao Bai for help.
Shaobai and the old man took turns to show it to others, and the old man frowned and said: "His meridians were basically restored to their original state after Shaobai's Gu worms repaired them. There are no strange phenomena in the Dan Mansion. Logically speaking, he should have woken up long ago. You guys are Isn’t there something else to hide?”
The two of them thought about it and couldn’t figure out what they had missed.
Until Chao Lian thought of a detail.
"...I remembered that in front of the graves of Third Brother and the others, Shisan looked strange, as if he had changed into a different person...It was just that the situation was critical at that time, and I couldn't care about it for the moment."
The old man pondered for a while and roughly guessed the reason.
"If my guess is correct, he may never wake up again."
As soon as these words came out, the two of them almost lost their legs.
"Can you never... wake up again?"
The old man said softly: "Even if I wake up, I will only be a vicious beast that brings trouble to the world, killing everyone on sight, even the two of you. "
Lao Liu took a deep breath to calm down and asked: "Why is this? Is it because the seal is broken and the poison in the body is released?"
The old man: "It's more serious than this, it's evil thoughts."
Shaobai was confused: "What are evil thoughts?"
The old man patiently explained to him: "The brave warrior has practiced to the fifteenth level. To reach the peak, if you want to break through the bottleneck, you need to kill your own evil thoughts. It is better to control the murderous nature in your heart and strengthen your own way. What I mean is that in the eyes of heaven and earth, all living things are the same, and a brave warrior who has reached this level obviously has the ability to do evil. If he cannot overcome the shortcomings in his mind and relies on his ability to do whatever he wants, this is the world. It cannot be tolerated."
"So, heaven and earth sent down this dangerous test."
"Slaying evil thoughts is the process of questioning."
"Obviously, this boy has not been able to break this level."
Shaobai asked softly: "What will happen?"
The old man said: "It will become a disaster."
< br>After saying that, he looked at Chao Lian and the other two: "Behead him!"
As soon as these two words were spoken, Chao Lian and Lao Liu blocked the old man with livid faces, fearing what the old man would do to Thirteen.
The old man sneered: "Keep him until he kills you?"
Chao Lian said: "Kill him, kill us first!"
How long can their brothers survive the crack in the sky? Bai and the others all rely on Shisan to protect them. It was Thirteen who gave up on his opponents at the critical moment and tried his best to block the frontal thunder disaster for them. Such a thirteen, what if this life is given away?
The old man sneered.
“I won’t shed tears until I see the coffin.”
In this case, it is better to let them give up completely.
He asked Shao Bai to use special means to wake up Shao Chong.
Who knows, the situation will develop differently than he expected.
Shaochong indeed unleashed his ferocious nature, like a wild beast, showing terrifying aggression, but when he heard the voices of Chao Lian and the others, his cloudy and scarlet eyes showed some waves. He held Lao Liu in his arms, buried his head in his arms and nuzzled him softly, whimpering like a beast from his mouth. The old man clicked his tongue in surprise.
Lao Liu begged him in a low voice: "Thirteen is obviously still under control, but he will not become an out-of-control scourge. Please save him."
The old man in front of him was full of unfathomable mystery. He was helpless, but the other party might have some solution.
The old man sighed and said: "I'll think about it again."
Old Liu hurriedly said: "Thank you!"
More than half a month later, Chao Lian's injury After basically recovering, he was about to leave to settle down with Gu Ren's widow, but Lao Liu couldn't get away because he was young. In Shao Chong's situation, one of their brothers must stay to take care of Shao Chong and accompany Shao Chong to recover slowly.
“I will come back after confirming that my sister-in-law and the others are safe.”
"This journey is dangerous, so be careful."
Uncle Lin lent Chao Lian some money and said, "If there is a chance, could you please help me go to a place?"
>"Of course you can."
Fourth Uncle Lin wanted Chao Lian to help him return to his ancestral home.
Back then, he escorted his female family members to escape, and went south to seek refuge with his relatives who had moved earlier. They encountered a catastrophe along the way, and he was the only one who survived. Coupled with the frequent wars in the northwest continent, he and his brother had completely lost contact. Fourth Uncle Lin had some luck in his heart - if the eldest brother and the others still couldn't wait for them, they might send someone to leave a message at the ancestral home in Lingzhou.
If there is no news, it is fate.
In the age of war and chaos, I have long been accustomed to disappointment.
Chao Lian wrote down the news that Fourth Uncle Lin said one by one, and also asked him for an item as a token of recognition.
When Chao Lian came down the mountain, he couldn't see the figures of Lao Liu and others, and turned to look at the mountain peak where his brothers rested.
【One day, my brother will take you home. 】
[Returning to my hometown, fallen leaves return to their roots. 】
(σ)σ:*☆
After that, Tang Mei will take over the northwest and become king! dominate!
