Chapter 363 Healing for you
Zhu Qiuyi moves very quickly.
The man and the halberd merged into one, turning into a blurry afterimage.
Seeing the flashing electric light on the tip of the halberd, Gu Xu felt that his "substitute bracelet" and even his life were likely to be handed over here today.
After losing the ability to move, he could not think of any way to help him avoid or block this fatal blow.
"Perhaps, the great revenge that 'Emperor Ziwei' has been planning for many years will come to an end today." Gu Xu laughed at himself and thought silently.
However, just when the halberd was about to hit Gu Xu, a clear phoenix chirp came from not far away.
Immediately afterwards, a golden phoenix spread its wings and appeared in front of Gu Xu out of thin air, colliding with Zhu Qiuyi's halberd.
In an instant, the halberd’s lightning dissipated and stopped where it was, unable to move forward.
The bright fire on the phoenix wings also faded a bit.
Gu Xu stared at the familiar golden phoenix with a complicated expression.
He recognized at a glance that this phoenix with fire wings was Zhao Yan's spirit that had left her body.
Only an incorporeal thing like the soul could appear in front of him at this critical moment and block Zhu Qiuyi's lightning-like attack for him.
It’s just that Gu Xu is a little confused——
Shouldn’t Zhao Yan have returned to Youzhou long ago?
Why is she still staying in the Daqi Dynasty? And take the risk of exposing your identity to rescue yourself?
However, before he could think through these issues, he felt himself being picked up by an arm, as if he had turned into a pet cat being picked up by its owner.
Then, the man held him in his arms and took him soaring into the sky.
"Wait, I...my mask..." he said stumblingly.
He was seriously injured, and the smell of blood could be clearly tasted in his mouth when he spoke.
The man chuckled, waved his sleeves, and the mask flew up from the ground, and then landed steadily on Gu Xu's face.
"It is indeed Zhao Yan."
Hearing the arrogant laughter mixed with a hint of ridicule, and seeing the bright red robe, Gu Xu once again confirmed that he could save his life. The identity of the benefactor.
The heir to the Great Yan Kingdom is still the same as when they first met, with a cold temperament and an attractive look.
She held Gu Xu in one hand, held a spear in the other, and spread out the fire phoenix wings behind her back. Facing many Daqi officials, she still showed a calm and at ease appearance.
Daqi officials obviously did not expect that "rebels" would appear in pairs - just as one was about to be arrested, the other also appeared.
"If we capture these two people, it will be a great achievement." They thought in unison.
But making meritorious service is not an easy thing.
Dealing with Gu Xu just now gave them a headache.
Now another Zhao Yan with a higher level of cultivation has emerged.
After activating her bloodline, Zhao Yan had the fighting power to compete with the Sixth Realm monks - the terrifying coercion emanating from her fire phoenix wings made Daqi officials uncontrollably feel palpitations.
In addition, Zhu Qiuyi's "Wind Chasing" magical power may be extremely threatening to a "crisp mage" like Gu Xu.
But for Zhao Yan, it was neither painful nor itchy.
No matter how many times Zhu Qiuyi sneaks up on her, she can rely on the strong defense brought by her bloodline and "Holy Fire Totem" to directly resist.
However, in this situation where we are outnumbered and the enemy is outnumbered, Zhao Yan is not willing to fight.
She controlled the divine phoenix to repel Zhu Qiuyi's halberd, burned Que Juchang's hidden arrows, and knocked away Pu Shilong's meteor hammer.
Then she took Gu Xu and flew into the distance like an arrow from a string.
"Hurry up!" Zhu Qiuyi ordered loudly, "Don't let them escape!"
At the same time as giving the order, she also activated her "Zhufeng" magical power, which turned into a bolt of lightning. Soon he came to Zhao Yan's side.
In addition to "Chasing the Wind", she also quickly recited a spell silently and used a secret method called "Rage".
"Rage" is also a spell that Zhu Qiuyi exchanged from the Exorcist Department through his meritorious service. Its function is to greatly increase the monk's combat effectiveness in a short period of time, and even have the opportunity to defeat enemies with higher levels.
But while casting the spell, it will also quickly overdraw the monk's true energy; after its effect ends, the monk will become very weak, lose the ability to fight, and may even leave hidden dangers.
Luo Chuan, the head of the Exorcism Department, once gave this spell to Chu Fengge as a reward, because Chu Fengge's "weed" magical power could greatly reduce the negative impact of "rage".
The reason why Zhu Qiuyi chose to practice "Rage" was because she wanted to increase her upper limit of combat power.
She has practiced the ready-made high-grade skill "Wind and Thunder", which means that she will stop at the sixth realm in this life and cannot go any further.
In the past, she had considered whether to achieve the realm of self-destruction and change her skills in order to achieve the realm of saint.
But she never dared to try.
On the one hand, she does not have enough confidence in her own understanding, and is worried that after practicing again, she will not even reach her current height.
On the other hand, as the commander-in-chief of a province, she has heavy responsibilities on her shoulders and does not allow her to cultivate herself easily.
Therefore, she can only continue to do tasks and use the merits she earns in exchange for various secret techniques, magic weapons, elixirs, etc., so that her combat effectiveness can continue to approach the limit that a sixth-level monk can achieve.
Zhu Qiuyi could feel that Zhao Yan's true strength was far beyond her apparent cultivation level.
Faced with such an enemy, Zhu Qiuyi must go all out and not dare to hold anything back.
The sharp halberd once again struck Zhao Yan head-on with overwhelming force.
Wherever the halberd passed, there was the sound of wind and thunder, and the sky became dark, as if a heavy rain was coming.
Zhao Yan's eyes were slightly stern, and she held her spear horizontally in front of her.
The tip of the gun is surrounded by golden-red flames, adding a bit of bright and bright color to the cold-toned electric light.
It is conceivable that when the spear and the halberd collide, a terrifying power like a cascading river will burst out.
However, before the weapons could connect, Zhao Yan suddenly withdrew her spear.
She took out a bell from her sleeve and shook it gently a few times.
This crisp ringtone seemed to have a magical power, which made the thoughts of Daqi officials present unconsciously trance for a moment.
They seemed to have temporarily forgotten what they were doing, and their consciousness drifted nine days away, leaving their empty bodies standing there blankly.
Zhao Yan took the opportunity to hold Gu Xu around her waist, then turned into a bolide and flew into the distant sky.
By the time everyone came to their senses, they had completely disappeared from their sight.
"It's over now," all the officials looked worried and thought in unison, "we let the fugitive escape again."
Zhu Qiuyi frowned slightly and took out the small white porcelain bottle again "Reminiscence", try to trace the escape path of the two rebels.
Only this time, after the colored smoke emerged from the mouth of the bottle, it did not directly outline the scene just now. Instead, like a headless fly, it wandered around aimlessly and got back into the bottle again. Obviously, those two people have some kind of anti-tracking method.
Zhu Qiuyi sighed softly, took out the jade charm of communication, and reported the situation to Princess Zhaoning.
"Her Highness the Princess will probably be very disappointed with us." She thought silently.
…………
"Thank you Miss Zhao for saving your life." A quarter of an hour later, Gu Xu leaned on a huge rock, tilted his head slightly, and weakly said to Zhao Yan beside him, "If Miss Zhao hadn't arrived in time today, I'm afraid I would have died. It's in the hands of those Daqi officials."
He used the improved "Purification Charm" to remove the negative effects of the poison on the hidden arrows and regained his ability to move.
"No need to thank me," Zhao Yan responded calmly, "We are just helping each other and reciprocating as courtesy."
At this moment, Zhao Yan had already changed out of the tattered clothes long skirt and put on a red men's robe.
The style of this robe was very loose, covering her figure curves, but her breasts were inevitably pushed up high, making the fabric at her waist and abdomen look empty and fluffy.
From the intersection of the wide robe, you can clearly see the jade-white skin on her neck, and you can also catch a glimpse of the beautiful collarbone looming in the shadow.
"I thought you had left Da Qi a long time ago and returned to Youzhou," Gu Xu pondered for a moment and asked his question, "I didn't expect you to still stay here."
Zhao Yan found a protruding tree root next to him, sat on it with her knees crossed, lowered her head and said: "To tell you the truth, Fellow Daoist Gu, I don't really want to go back to Youzhou...at least not now. Go back."
"Why?" Gu Xu wondered, "Both of our names are on the court's wanted list. The longer you stay in Daqi, the more dangerous you will be."
< br>"Maybe it's because I'm a little pretentious," Zhao Yan sighed softly, "That day when I walked out of Luojing City along the street, I saw corpses strewn all over the field. It was a mess. Thinking that my father had colluded with the Ghost King of Mangshan, I I felt like I was carrying a heavy burden of sin, and I didn’t know how to face him after returning to Youzhou
"Perhaps, I will feel better after I get rid of some ghosts for the people here and atone for some of my father's crimes."
Gu Xu looked at her quietly.
Zhao Yan has a pair of charming fox eyes. Her double eyelids have clear arcs, the ends of her eyes are slightly upward, and her eyelashes are dark and thick. Even though she has always been arrogant and indifferent, she still looks charming when she glances at her.
At this moment, her eyes were lowered, and her eyelashes blocked her pupils, adding a bit of hazy beauty.
Gu Xu couldn't help but sigh silently: It seems that a heroic figure who does whatever it takes to achieve his goals will also give birth to a daughter with some conscience.
"Aren't you afraid of being caught by the Daqi officials?" Gu Xu frowned slightly, "You have been exposed in front of them today. I believe they will send more powerful monks to deal with us next time."
" Don't think that you are the only one who has the means to hide your whereabouts," Zhao Yan said, spreading her palms and showing the bell in her palms in front of Gu Xu, "This is the treasure my mother left for me, called 'Huanmeng' "Ling', the fact that we were able to get rid of those officials just now was largely due to it. With it, most of the tracking spells of the Daqi government, including Zhu Qiuyi's 'Reminiscence', were ineffective."
Speaking of this, Zhao Yan paused for two seconds, and then looked at Gu Xu: "Why did you suddenly become a traitor? I thought that as the leader of the 'Luoshui Conference', you would Go straight to the top in the Daqi Dynasty and enjoy the glory and wealth. Unexpectedly, as soon as we parted, I saw wanted posters for you posted everywhere in the streets."
Gu Xu sighed.
About "Emperor Ziwei" and "Tai Shang Haotian", it is not convenient to tell her directly for the time being.
So he said helplessly: "I don't know why. After I separated from you that day, Wang Guanyu, the commander of the Imperial Guard, suddenly and inexplicably brought a group of men to arrest me, saying that I was colluding with ghosts and intending to rebel, and wanted to escort me to the imperial court. City.
"If I hadn't mastered some space magic and escaped from the 'Liuhe Immortal Formation' in time, I might have been on the gallows by now. ”
Zhao Yan did not respond immediately.
She sat slightly closer to him, leaned over and looked at the wounds on his face and shoulders, her long black hair hanging down like a waterfall. Loose. The robe suddenly fit close to her body, outlining the elegant arc of her back.
From this angle, Gu Xu could clearly see the guilty expression on her face.
"I'm sorry," she whispered, "I caused you trouble."
Zhao Yan didn't know the secret of Emperor Tianxing, nor the relationship between Gu Xu and "Emperor Ziwei".
She believed that it must have been the day of the "Luoshui Conference" when Gu Xu had been staying with her and helped her, the "daughter of a rebel", awaken the power of her bloodline, and was regarded as a "rebel" by the Qi court. One of the "conspirators".
"Don't think too much, Miss Zhao, this has nothing to do with you."
"Do you think I am a fool?" Zhao Yan narrowed her eyes, "If it weren't for me, the Da Qi court would How could an outstanding genius monk be put on a wanted notice and posted everywhere? It couldn't be because they took the wrong medicine."
The more Zhao Yan thought about it, the more irritable she became.
My father’s original intention of revenge is certainly correct.
It’s just that in Zhao Yan’s mind, she feels that if she wants to take revenge, she should target Emperor Tianxing, her enemy, instead of involving innocent people, and she shouldn’t target Gu Xu, the enemy who has done so much to her. A benevolent person gets involved in the quagmire, ruining his future.
She was silent for a while, and then said in a calm voice: "Take off your clothes."
Gu Xu was shocked: "What are you going to do?"< br>
He almost sat up from the boulder. However, he was seriously injured. If he moved even a little bit, the wound would hurt so much that he had to lie back down.
Zhao Yan glanced at him, took out a medicine bottle from the storage magic weapon, and said lightly: "Heal your wounds."
As she spoke, she dipped some medicine into her finger , and wiped away the conspicuous blood stain on Gu Xu's face.
A cool, crisp touch suddenly came to Gu Xu's face - I don't know if it came from the healing potion or from her jade-like fingertips.
After a few seconds, the scar on his face healed as if it had never existed.
Zhao Yan looked at his handsome and flawless face again and nodded with satisfaction.
She has always had an instinctive aversion to physical contact with the opposite sex.
The only special case was the activation of the bloodline with the help of Gu Xu in the royal treasury on the day of the "Luoshui Conference".
At that time, she thought that she ignored the physical disgust because she was focused on the operation of the technique and the changes in blood power.
But now she discovered that the special thing was not "that time", but "this person" in front of her.
When healing Gu Xu's wounds, she could feel the true energy in her body surging faster and becoming hotter, and she could also feel a kind of intimacy and familiarity coming from her soul.
This feeling comes out of nowhere.
Just like the inexplicable feeling of déjà vu when she saw him for the first time.
“Is it because we practice the same technique?” Zhao Yan was puzzled.
However, despite the myriad of thoughts in her mind, the expression on her face remained unchanged, and she calmly said to Gu Xu again: "Take off your robe."
Gu Xu looked at Zhao Yan's expression, then glanced at the boulder he was leaning on, and suddenly felt that it was uneven and quite annoying.
"How about... let's change places?" He suggested.
At the same time, with a thought in his mind, an antique small building with cornices, carved beams and painted roofs appeared in front of the two of them out of thin air.
There is a couplet on the doorpost of the small building——
First couplet: The body is like a wandering cloud, the moon shadow and the stream light prove the nature;
Second line: Hearts and water flow together, the sound of pine trees and the color of bamboos make us forget our memories together.
The "Xianyun Residence" left by Kongxuan Sanren was finally restored to its original appearance after being quietly stored in Gu Xu's pocket for several months.
