Chapter 224 Hero
On the bank of Dongxuan Lake, Fu Qingzhou and others were rushing towards Fanyin Temple.
Tang Jiao was carrying the unconscious Qiu Chan, Fu Qingzhou was carrying a large iron box, and Hua Wuying was carrying Wu Changfeng, who was seriously injured by Yuan Wu's palm. There were anxious expressions on their faces. color.
Although Yuan Wu was dead just now, when they looked towards the direction of the temple, they could still see the bloody pillar of light rising into the sky.
So much time has passed...
Although the formation is still not broken, those who break into the temple will be in great danger!
Therefore, without further ado, a few people immediately rushed to the direction of Fanyin Temple.
But just as they were about to approach the temple, they suddenly saw the light beam flickering for a while, and then dissipated like smoke.
“The formation is broken!”
Hua Wuying was overjoyed: “They succeeded!”
Fu Qingzhou also breathed a sigh of relief, but still whispered: "But I don't know what the casualties are, go and have a look."
But this time, they still couldn't rush into Fanyin Temple quickly... They didn't go far. As soon as they took a step, they saw a familiar figure.
Zuo wintersweet.
She was standing in the woods beside the path of several people, standing with her back to everyone, her figure was quite stooped and motionless.
"Senior Zuo!" Fu Qingzhou was overjoyed and shouted at him: "Did you break the formation?"
There was no response, only the sound of Zuo Lamei's clothes being slightly blown in the wind.
He was startled and looked at Hua Wuying, who also had some awe in his eyes.
"Brother Hua, please wait here."
Fu Qingzhou whispered: "In case of danger, we will respond at any time."
As he said that, he put the clothes on his back He unloaded the big iron box, pulled out the wave-cutting knife, and slowly approached the grove; Hua Wuying behind him also put down Wu Changfeng, and pulled out the only wooden sword left in the sword box. Tang Jiao also gently held Qiu Chan Put it down and draw a short sword from his sleeve.
Although Zuo Lamei wouldn't have met those monks if she didn't enter Fanyin Temple, what if it happened?
If she is in danger, there may be enemies around her...
Fu Qingzhou approached cautiously, his ears twitching slightly.
He could hear Zuo Lamei's subtle and long breathing.
This also made him feel a little relieved... But when he came to Zuo Lamei, his pupils shrank.
The condition of Zuo Lamei is very bad visible to the naked eye!
She raised one hand flat in front of her. The half of her forearm and palm exposed from the sleeve were completely black, and looked as if they were carbonized. There were many deep cracks on them, but they could not be seen. A drop of blood.
She looked straight ahead, expressionless, with a little blood dripping from the corners of her mouth, but there was no life in her pupils.
Looking down, there was a deep pit right at her feet.
There is a canvas lying flat in the pit. If you look closely, it is a painting made of human skin. You can still see the texture of blood vessels and muscles on the edge of the skin. The painting is a scene of a giant Buddha preaching, but at this time, the entire painting is made of human skin. The painting had been cut innumerably and completely damaged, with black blood spilling out of the holes.
Fu Qingzhou frowned and had a bad feeling in his heart.
He did not dare to reach out and touch Zuo Lamei directly, so he could only ask in a low voice: "Old man, can you tell what is going on?"
"Don't look at it. . "
The smoker refused: "You have ruined my good deeds, and you still want me to do things, don't you look at it!"
Fu Qingzhou shook his head helplessly.
He could only carefully reach out to Zuo Lamei's other hand hanging by his side, trying to feel her pulse.
But when he gently lifted up his wide sleeves, what he saw was another completely carbonized hand!
Fu Qingzhou's pupils tightened and he took a breath of air.
He took a step back and shouted to his companions: "Come here quickly!"
Not long after, Hua Wuying and Tang Jiao rushed over, while Wu Changfeng could only stay behind. Standing still, looking at Qiu Chan who was unconscious.
"Senior Zuo, this is..."
Soon, Hua Wuying's expression became solemn: "Did you suffer backlash when you cracked the Fanyin Temple formation?"
"I look like " Fu Qingzhou nodded lightly: "The human skin painting below should be something like a formation eye. Now that the formation has been broken, Senior Zuo must have succeeded... But we don't know what her current condition is. "Now that she looks like this, her soul has probably been severely damaged, but as long as her body can be saved and her soul has not been wiped out, she will have a chance..."
"Brother, Young leader.”
Tang Jiao said softly: "How about... you guys step back a little bit and I see what's going on with your senior?"
Fu Qingzhou and Hua Wuying looked at each other and nodded slightly.
Tang Jiao's meaning was obvious. She wanted to see if Zuo Lamei had only two hands injured, or was there more and more serious injuries?
The two of them stepped back slightly and turned their backs. Behind them, Tang Jiao had already gently opened Zuo Lamei's collar.
"Fu Xiandi."
When the two stood still, Hua Wuying smiled slightly and said softly: "Now that the overall situation of Fanyin Temple has been decided, you have done a big thing and you should be famous all over the world."
Fu Qingzhou curled his lips: "Young Master is here. , I am not a personal hero. You have contributed much more to this matter than me, and..."
He spread his hands: "Although I don't want to admit it, that kid Zhao Hao should be the one. The greatest contribution is that without Qianfang Baixiaolou’s intelligence network, we wouldn’t have been able to do this.”
As he said that, he glanced at Hua Wuying again: “Of course, that guy is you, Brother Hua. Invited..."
Before he finished speaking, Hua Wuying smiled at him and said, "But Brother Fu Xian, you found me."
After saying that, both of them laughed softly.
At this moment, Tang Jiao's slightly panicked shout suddenly came from behind: "Brother, big brother!"
Fu Qingzhou and Hua Wuying suppressed their smiles and turned around suddenly.
Tang Jiao stood with her hands in front of Zuo Lamei, looking over the senior's shoulders at the two of them, her voice trembling: "Senior, her whole body..."
Fu Qingzhou's heart Startled, he strode forward: "What did you say?"
"Senior, her whole body has become like a hand..." Tang Jiao bit her lip and said, "Only the top of her neck is left..."
Hua Wuying took a breath of air.
Fu Qingzhou's body was a little stiff, and he slowly turned his eyes to Zuo Lamei.
The old-timer is still standing where she is. She is still breathing, but her face is a little pale.
Can...can...
"Don't look, she's dead."
At this moment, the smoker's lazy voice sounded in his mind: "Just as you guessed, she broke the formation, but she was also bitten back. ——The power of this formation exceeded her ability. Before she died, she forcibly opened a layer of the cave. This action left a trace of life in her, so she could still stand and breathe."
"But it's useless. Her soul has been destroyed, and her body's demise is just a matter of time. She won't last long."
"Bury her quickly. The wind will blow after a while. It’s gone.”
Its words were like a nail that finally sealed the coffin.
Fu Qingzhou's fingertips were extremely cold, his heart felt desolate, his ears were buzzing, and he couldn't hear what others were saying.
He looked at Zuo Lamei's old, slightly mean face, and thought of what she had said before.
“You are not the smartest young man I have ever seen, nor the most talented young man, nor the best young man, but you are one of the few truly good people.”
"There have been people like you, but most of them have turned into withered bones in the graves. I don't want to hear about your death in a few months or years."
"Fu Qingzhou... ...I hope you can do something different in this world.”
The two of them didn't have many interactions, but they had briefly met in Shu before. Fu Qingzhou had already regarded Zuo Lamei as his elder. The siege of Fanyin Temple this time had nothing to do with her, but she had traveled thousands of miles to come here, and she took the initiative to take on the task of cracking the case. The most difficult task of the Grand Formation.
This is a knight-errant, and he is also taking care of the younger generation.
She is also a good person.
Now that several months have passed, the words still linger in my ears, but the speaker has become a withered bone in his own words.
Fu Qingzhou's fingers trembled slightly, and before he knew it, he knelt down in front of Zuo Lamei and gently touched his forehead to the ground.
