Chapter 374 is just a product of ancient people’s imagination?
Chu He's powerful and heavy palm just now,
It seemed to surge out with overwhelming force.
The wind from the palm whizzed past, and wherever it passed, the air seemed to be cut by a sharp blade, making bursts of sharp whistling sounds.
This palm hit Qu Yuxiu accurately,
In an instant, Qu Yuxiu’s body flew out like a kite with its string broken,
It fell heavily on the car.
The powerful impact caused the car roof to dent and twist instantly,
The metal frame makes a heart-wrenching creaking sound,
It seemed as if it was overwhelmed and about to fall apart.
Qu Yuxiu's body was deeply trapped in it, and blood gushes out of his body like an out-of-control fountain,
Gurgling along the windshield and door frame,
The bright red blood shone strangely and dazzlingly in the sunlight,
It fell drop by drop, forming a small pool of blood on the ground. The smell of blood filled the air and was nauseating.
Chu He's palm seemed cruel and decisive, but in fact it left some room for action.
He skillfully controlled his strength, even though Qu Yuxiu was seriously injured and on the verge of death
The candlelight of life sways in the strong wind, but it will not be completely extinguished.
As long as it can be sent to a general hospital for emergency treatment in time, with modern medical methods,
His injuries can be stabilized.
Chu He's move was not because he was afraid of the unfathomable background behind Qu Yuxiu.
In fact, it was because of Xia Chengli's affection.
Xia Chengli’s quirky temperament,
He is simply a master who likes to watch the fun, takes pleasure in others' misfortunes and acts in an eclectic and lawless way.
Qu Yuxiu and Xia Chengli obviously have a long history and know each other well.
If Chu He was really impulsive and killed Qu Yuxiu with one palm,
That Xia Chengli will definitely be in a dilemma in the circle to which he belongs in the future,
Suffering a lot of criticism and censure, it is difficult to hold up your head in front of everyone.
Xia Chengli stood on the edge of the tall building, staring at the chaotic scene downstairs.
I saw so many passers-by coming from all directions like a tide,
They quickly surrounded the ill-fated car.
They either looked frightened or whispered to each other with curious expressions on their faces.
Qu Yuxiu lay on his back on the roof of the car that had changed beyond recognition,
The entire person was almost swallowed up by the twisted metal frame.
His consciousness struggled in an abyss of pain and fear,
The remaining trace of clarity allowed his blurry vision to lock on Xia Chengli, who was looking up from upstairs.
At this moment,
In the depths of Qu Yuxiu's eyes, there was only deep fear entrenched like a demon.
Recalling that critical moment just now,
He was clearly aware of the danger coming towards him,
Instinctively, he wanted to pull out the sword from his waist to resist.
His fingers were trembling slightly and touched the hilt of the sword,
But Chu He's attack was like a bolt of lightning piercing the sky, so swift and violent that it was beyond imagination, drowning him in an instant.
That powerful force is like an invisible mountain,
It was so heavy that he didn't even have time to draw the sword, and his body was already severely injured.
Qu Yuxiu was filled with reluctance and doubt,
Obviously, I have already made complete preparations,
From the beginning, I have been wary of Chuhe as if I were facing a formidable enemy,
Why was the disparity in strength between the two sides so huge? It was like a world of difference, leaving him unable to fight back.
Xia Chengli noticed that there were passers-by looking up curiously,
He seemed to be trying hard to find out the secret of why this young man fell like a meteor from upstairs.
Their eyes were full of suspicion and inquiry,
Perhaps secretly speculating whether there is a well-planned murder conspiracy hidden in this,
Or maybe there are serious loopholes in the security measures of this building,
This caused the young man to accidentally slip and lead to this tragedy.
Xia Chengli doesn’t want to be the center of attention,
So he stuck out his tongue playfully and quickly retracted his head.
After a while,
The sharp and urgent siren of the ambulance suddenly sounded on this street like a reminder,
The flashing red and blue lights cast mottled light and shadow on the buildings on both sides of the street,
Create a tense and panic atmosphere.
At this time, Chu He and Xia Chengli had already quietly left this place like ghosts,
Their figures quietly disappeared in the noise and chaos of the crowd,
Only the mess and mystery is left, waiting for others to solve it.
……
The figures of Chu He and Xia Chengli seemed to have passed through the barrier of space,
Instantly appeared on another bustling street.
The two walked slowly side by side,
Chu He's steps were steady and firm, and there was a hint of thoughtfulness in his eyes.
Xia Chengli was jumping and walking,
He looks at everything around him curiously from time to time, full of endless desire to explore the world.
"What exactly did the guy named Qu Yuxiu say you were carrying just now?"
Chu He finally broke the silence.
Xia Chengli raised her delicate chin slightly,
His eyes were shining with pride and pride,
He began to talk endlessly: "When I was young,
I then stood out in the old man's eyes and became the darling of his high hopes.
I have to say that I was born with amazing talents,
Like a bright star, it stands out among the crowd.
No matter what kind of skills or knowledge, as long as I am determined to study and learn,
Then you can quickly understand the essence of it, master it with great proficiency, and learn it quickly and well.
Compared with me, those fellow disciples are just as different as clouds and mud, none of them can compare to me.
Later, the old man often said in front of me,
Said that the future Blue Star may rely on my growth and rise,
Only in this way can we find the way forward in this changing world.
I like it when the old man talks like this,
Because this means that I am the protagonist of this world,
The future destiny of this world is to move towards a bright and bright future,
Or fall into the dark and boundless abyss of hell, all are controlled by my thoughts. ”
Speaking of this, Xia Chengli's face was filled with a smile like the spring breeze,
The joyful expression seemed as if she had seen herself standing on the top of the world,
The glorious scene that dominates everything, and the heart is full of longing and expectations for the future.
Chu He's eyes shone with doubt and exploration,
He frowned slightly, stared at Xia Chengli and asked: "What kind of mysterious existence is hidden behind you?
I have imparted so many martial arts secrets to you without reservation, so you can't always keep it secret from me, right?
You know, I gave you a martial arts secret at will,
I'm afraid it's hard to find him in the sphere of influence behind you,
Could such a precious inheritance not be exchanged for your frankness? ”
Xia Chengli bit his lower lip gently, as if hesitating where to start.
After a moment, she raised her head, with a look of memory in her eyes, and said slowly: "What you said is absolutely true.
I mentioned the ancient martial arts inheritance to you before,
Have you ever wondered why it is so difficult to find the slightest trace of the existence of gods in the land of the Great Xia Empire?
In the past years, I still remember clearly,
The Daxia Empire had suffered from cynicism from other empires,
They wantonly slandered
It is said that the Daxia Empire is a barren soil where the flowers of evil bloom without the protection of gods.
However, the truth is deeply buried,
All the clues related to the gods in the Daxia Empire,
It has long been secretly divided up by several forces with deep foundations and controlling the inheritance of ancient martial arts, and disappeared from the public's sight. ”
"What exactly is the ancient martial arts in your mouth? What secrets are hidden in it?"
Chu He's curiosity was completely ignited, his eyes were full of eagerness and desire,
It's like a traveler who has been groping in the darkness for a long time finally sees a glimmer of light and is eager to find out what's going on.
Xia Chengli did not directly respond to Chuhe’s question,
Instead, he blinked his big and smart eyes,
A question slyly raised: "What do you think of "The Classic of Mountains and Seas"?
As well as those widely spread ancient cultural stories about gods,
Is it an undeniable reality, or is it just a product of ancient people’s imagination? ”
When Chu He heard this, he couldn't help but fell into deep contemplation.
His brows were furrowed, and there was a trace of confusion and confusion in his eyes,
After a long time,
Then he spoke slowly, with a hint of hesitation and uncertainty in his voice: "This question really makes it difficult for me to make a decision,
I'm constantly torn between what's true and what's false.
Sometimes, I seem to be able to feel the weight and reality of history from those ancient legends,
It was as if I had witnessed those mythical stories happening with my own eyes.
But sometimes, reason tells me that this may just be the crystallization of the rich imagination of the ancients.
Whether there are gods in this world has always been a lingering doubt in my mind.
If there is no god, then how do evil spirits suddenly appear in this world?
Why do humans act without warning?
Suddenly possessing the ability to practice martial arts,
He can even reach an astonishing level comparable to the gods in terms of martial arts attainments.
But if gods really exist in this world,
According to the legends of gods passed down from generation to generation,
Gods are supposed to be the protectors of mankind, but when evil spirits are raging,
When the world is devastated and there are mountains of corpses and seas of blood,
However, the gods seemed to disappear into the endless void and never appeared to save the people.
On the contrary, those so-called gods are just dressed up in gorgeous clothes by evil spirits, and they use the reputation of the gods to pretend to be powerful and do whatever they want. ”
Xia Chengli nodded slightly,
There was a hint of recollection of the past in his eyes, and he continued: "The old man once said to me,
Gods do exist in this world,
But in the long river of time, the gods have quietly left this world.
In ancient times, there was a historical period when mankind was brilliant and dominated the world,
In that distant era,
Human beings are the invincible beings standing at the top of the food chain, controlling the fate of everything in the world.
But later on, I don’t know what kind of earth-shattering changes happened,
The inheritance of human power gradually dries up like gurgling water,
It has become weak and rare, and only a few lucky ones still have some precious inheritance left.
When evil spirits envelope the world like a haze again,
Those who carry the inheritance of martial arts embark on a difficult journey to find the mysterious traces of ancient martial arts.
The inheritance power these people possess is so powerful that it is beyond imagination and is enough to shock people's hearts.
Normally, the old man also has inextricable and intricate connections with other ancient martial arts inheritance forces.
They seem to be secretly plotting some earth-shattering plan,
But it has always been secretive and mysterious
It seems that he is afraid of some unknown powerful existence.
I have asked the old man countless times about these things, but he has always been tight-lipped and refused to say a word.
When I was traveling and wandering around, the old man gave me strict instructions repeatedly, strictly forbidding me to tell any outsiders about these things. ”
After saying that, Xia Chengli naturally reached out his hand and took Chu He's arm affectionately.
Chuhe was slightly startled,
There was a ripple of confusion and emotion in his heart, and then he asked softly: "Then why did you tell me? This is a secret you promised the old man to keep."
"Because I think you are trustworthy."
Xia Chengli answered extremely seriously, her eyes were clear and firm,
Looking directly into Chu He's eyes, as if she wanted to convey her inner sincerity to him without reservation, "And you are the only person in the whole world who can be recognized by me."
"One last question."
Chu He didn't know why, but after hearing Xia Chengli's answer, he was inexplicably moved deep in his heart.
The emotion flowed slowly in his heart like a trickle,
He quickly suppressed this emotion forcibly,
Attention quickly shifted to other key points.
"Any more questions?
The things you just said are all you know, right?
If you want to ask more questions, I'm afraid you can only go to the old man and talk to him face to face.
However, I am not sure whether the old man will tell you everything without reservation. ”
Xia Chengli shook his head slightly and said helplessly.
"That's not what I want to ask.
Since those people control the powerful power of ancient martial arts inheritance,
So why didn't they show up when evil spirits invaded the entire world? ”
Chu He frowned and asked with confusion and confusion on his face: "If they had come forward at that time, they might have been able to reduce many human casualties and save countless lives from the fire and water."
In the eyes of Chuhe,
Those gods that only exist in ancient legends and stories,
There seems to be no essential difference from these so-called inheritors of ancient martial arts.
No matter how powerful their power is and how unpredictable their methods are,
But in Chu He's view, they were still so aloof, indifferent and ruthless,
Faced with the disasters and life-and-death choices in the world, he chose to ignore death.
They only plan for their own interests and goals,
Although from a personal perspective, this behavior may be understandable,
But Chu He had witnessed with his own eyes the scenes of devastation and tragedy when the evil spirits invaded.
Deep down in his heart, he really couldn't agree with this selfish approach.
The most important thing is that these people actually monopolize the inheritance of ancient martial arts,
In the early stages of the invasion of evil spirits, humans fought desperately to resist,
Those who can become martial arts practitioners in desperate situations,
All of them rely on strong will, excellent luck and their own outstanding talents,
In the cruel test of life and death, he transformed with difficulty and stood out.
Only the first batch of warriors who have experienced the hardships of life and death,
Only then did I truly understand how tragic the war situation was and how difficult it was to survive.
"I have also asked the old man about the matter you asked about."
Xia Chengli sighed softly and said slowly: "His answer is that those inheritors of ancient martial arts have more important missions that need to be completed.
In their eyes, even most of the human race has suffered misfortune and perished.
It's not as important as what they're planning. ”
When Chu He heard this, he raised the corners of his mouth slightly and smiled coldly,
The smile was full of ridicule and disdain, as if he was scorning this so-called "important thing".
……
Night falls,
In a hospital in Jinshan City, the lights are bright but there is an oppressive silence.
Qu Yuxiu lay quietly on the bed in the intensive care unit,
His face was as pale as paper, bloodless,
Only the slight rise and fall of his chest proved that he still had a glimmer of life left.
At this time, Qu Yuxiu had slowly opened his eyes,
The fear and panic from the nightmare-like encounter during the day still remained in his eyes.
Regarding what happened during the day, his mind was still like a turbulent wave, and he could not calm down for a long time.
Recalling the scene when facing Chuhe at that moment,
He only felt as if he was a lonely and helpless boat,
Drifting on the boundless, rough sea,
And the sea suddenly set off a stormy wave, and huge waves as tall as mountains formed instantly,
Then it is like a majestic mountain formed by endless sea water,
They pressed down on him mercilessly with an overwhelming force.
At that time, Qu Yuxiu’s mind went blank for a moment,
There was only one desperate thought left: he was finished and must die.
It is a fear that goes deep into the bone marrow,
Like the devil's claws, gripping his soul tightly,
It left him wandering on the edge of life and death, and he still has lingering fears.
In the intensive care unit, which was as silent as the abyss of death, the air seemed to freeze,
Every movement is extremely clear and audible.
Qu Yuxiu was lying on the hospital bed, his body like a boat drifting in the storm, fragile and helpless.
His consciousness was wandering between half-dream and half-awake, and the pain was like the devil's claws, tearing at his nerves all the time.
Suddenly,
The door "squeaked" and was slowly pushed open,
The slight sound was like thunder, exploding in Qu Yuxiu's ears instantly.
His body seemed to be hit by a strong electric current,
The muscles in his whole body tensed suddenly, and every nerve was instantly stretched to the limit.
This sudden violent reaction ruthlessly tore open the wounds on his body that had not yet healed.
A sharp pain like thousands of ants gnawing at his heart came over him.
Qu Yuxiu clenched his teeth, veins popped out on his forehead, and large beads of sweat rolled down his forehead,
But he just didn't dare to make even the slightest sound,
It seems that as long as the slightest movement is made, it will lead to disaster.
His eyes were wide open, full of fear and vigilance,
Like a wounded beast watching the unknown danger in the dark.
Trying his best to move his eyes slowly towards the door,
There was a trace of prayer and expectation in his eyes, mixed with endless fear.
When Qu Yuxiu finally saw clearly that a group of medical staff wearing white coats came in,
The extremely tight string in my heart was just a little loose,
He let out a long sigh of relief,
The whole person seemed to have walked away from the gate of hell and returned by luck.
"This guy's vitality is so tenacious that it's beyond imagination. It's a miracle."
A medical staff member looked at the data on the instrument and couldn't help but exclaimed, his eyes full of wonder and confusion.
"The resources in the intensive care unit are so precious. Now that his condition has stabilized, I recommend that he be transferred to the general ward as soon as possible."
Another doctor frowned and said seriously,
His eyes revealed a kind of professional scrutiny and calm judgment.
"Special humans are different. They can escape death after falling from a thirty-story building.
If this were an ordinary person, he would have been shattered to pieces. ”
A nurse muttered quietly, her words containing admiration for Qu Yuxiu’s tenacious vitality,
There seemed to be a hint of unspeakable jealousy and dissatisfaction.
Several doctors and nurses quickly and carefully checked Qu Yuxiu's various physical indicators,
After confirming that everything is normal,
Then he directed several nurses to carefully push the bed out of the intensive care unit,
Slowly walked towards the general ward.
Qu Yuxiu was lying on the hospital bed, feeling the weakness and pain in his body, but he was secretly grateful that he was blessed with good fortune.
He endured the pain silently,
While the mysterious power began to slowly circulate in the body,
Trying to speed up the repair of the shocking injuries that crisscrossed the body.
He was thinking silently in his heart, as long as he could rest in this ward for three to five days,
I should be able to get out of bed and walk,
It will take about a month or so to fully recover.
By then, Qu Yuxiu must return to where his sect is,
Report everything that happened today to the master, no matter the details!
When he thought of Chu He, a trace of resentment that was as strong as substance flashed in his eyes,
The resentment seemed to corrode the surrounding air.
He secretly swore in his heart that Chu He would never escape the punishment of death, and his death was close at hand.
Every time I think back to the close relationship between Chu He and Xia Chengli, just like a couple,
Qu Yuxiu's heart felt like it was being burned by fire, and the pain and resentment were intertwined, making him almost crazy.
From birth to now, he has never resented someone so deeply and intensely,
This kind of resentment is like a poisonous python that chooses people to eat,
It was constantly rolling and twisting in his heart, swallowing up his reason and soul bit by bit.
At this moment, the door of the general ward was gently pushed open from the outside.
Qu Yuxiu, who was immersed in revenge fantasy, didn't pay too much attention at first.
He was still immersed in his own thoughts, as if a movie was playing in his mind,
Continuously replaying the thrilling scenes of today's day,
And began to carefully plan one plan after another to take revenge on Chu He,
Trying to find a perfect solution that can completely eliminate the bad breath in my heart today.
He thought about it,
Suddenly, a strange feeling came to my heart,
Qu Yuxiu keenly sensed something was wrong.
Some patients in the ward were still moaning intermittently in pain,
Although the sound was weak, it continued
But when the sound of pushing the door just now sounded,
The ward was instantly as quiet as a dead cemetery,
There was no sound.
All the patients seemed to have been cast under some mysterious restraining spell,
Lying on the bed honestly and motionless.
Some patients’ eyes widened,
His eyes were full of fear and helplessness, as if he had seen something extremely terrible.
Some still had painful expressions on their faces, as if time had stopped abruptly at this moment.
Some have already fallen asleep peacefully, but their sleeping postures are particularly stiff, unlike ordinary sleeping postures.
Everyone seems to have been pressed by a big invisible hand to pause,
The whole ward was filled with a strange and terrifying atmosphere, which made people's hair stand on end.
Qu Yuxiu subconsciously looked towards the door of the general ward,
This sight made him so shocked that he almost jumped out of the hospital bed.
He was shocked to find that the bed next to him was quietly occupied by several strange foreign men.
"Come with us."
One of the foreign men who seemed to be the leader said coldly,
His voice was low and hoarse, leaving no room for negotiation.
Like the biting cold wind in the dead of winter, it makes people shiver.
Immediately afterwards,
He ruthlessly and roughly pulled out the needle on the back of Qu Yuxiu's hand,
The movements are clean and neat, but there is a sense of arrogance and domineering,
The pain caused Qu Yuxiu to take a breath of cold air, and a strong ominous premonition surged in his heart.
