In early spring, the Luhuadang Wetland was still covered with thick snow, and the snow was covered with inches of clean ice. Sima Ruiyuan pushed away the snow, broke the thin ice, wrapped a few pieces of ice in his clothes, and turned around to go to the Drum Tower. At this moment,
I saw a person who seemed to be crouching in the grass next to me. I walked over hesitantly. I saw that the person was covered in blood, with black and white hair. He was wearing gray clothes. The outline of his face looked very familiar. Look carefully.
After identifying it, he suddenly screamed, dropped the ice in his arms, and rushed forward.
The man was lying among the reed stalks, with his eyes closed and his breathing weak. The wet and dry blood on his body mixed together to form a thick scab. Sima Ruiyuan called out repeatedly: "Steward Ling
,Uncle Ling! Can you hear me? Wake up!"
This person was none other than Ling Wanjun. The blood feast in the Qinglong Hall changed dramatically. Yan Guichen was killed by Abuge on the spot. Han Kuangsi's life and death were uncertain. He had several stab wounds on his body and was bleeding profusely. Fortunately, the village's guardians and villagers
He arrived just in time and was able to escape in the chaos. After leaving Zhuangzi, he only walked on the forest path, sometimes fainting and sometimes waking up. The journey to Luhuadang Drum Tower was very thrilling and difficult. When he got here, he lost his strength and suffered from abdominal pain.
He was so hungry that the blood in his body was almost drained, and he passed out again while lying in the grass.
Sima Ruiyuan shouted several times, but when he saw that Ling Wanjun had no response, he touched his neck with his hand. His heartbeat was still there, but it was extremely weak, almost to the point where the oil was exhausted. He did not dare to neglect and immediately carried him on his back.
, quickly returned to the Drum Tower.
I saw Yan Feiyun roasting a yellow sheep in front of the door. When he saw her coming back with someone on her back, he asked in surprise: "Miss Ruiyuan, who is this you are carrying?"
Sima Ruiyuan said anxiously: "Brother Baifa, this is Butler Ling! Hurry, we must save him!"
Yan Feiyun was so startled that he jumped over, took Ling Wanjun, and as soon as his feet hit the ground, he was already catapulted into the Drum Tower. He saw that the first floor was empty and there was no one around. He couldn't help shouting: "Feixue, Sima
Old man, are you upstairs? Come down quickly!"
After the shouting, only the banging sound was heard on the stairs. Yan Feixue walked down quickly and asked: "Brother, what's wrong?"
Yan Feiyun shouted: "Save Uncle Ling quickly!"
When she saw Ling Wanjun, Yan Feixue was also overjoyed, and she and Yan Feiyun immediately carried Ling Wanjun to the second floor. They saw the crazy monk with a thick bandage wrapped around his head, unconscious, and the floor below his head was covered with black
Sima Xingtian stood beside him, looking quite tired, beating his waist with his hands, but there was a sense of relief in the corners of his eyes and lips.
As soon as he saw Ling Wanjun, Sima Xingtian's heart that had just been relaxed suddenly became tense again. He hurriedly asked Yan Feiyun to put Ling Wanjun away and cut his clothes open with a knife. He saw a deep black fist mark on his chest and ribs.
There is also a flying knife stuck on the outside, and the wound on the lower belly is particularly deep. The intestines and tailbone can already be seen inside. Turning it over, there is a knife wound on the back, which can be described as extremely miserable. Sima Xingtian
He couldn't help but frown, and said seriously: "Butler Ling lost too much blood, I'm afraid it's hard to survive."
Yan Feiyun said hurriedly: "Uncle Sima, you must save him, he cannot die! We still have a lot of things to do!"
Sima Xingtian sighed and said, "I'll do my best!"
Only then did Sima Ruiyuan remember and asked: "Hey, where are Qing'e and Brother Zhang Cheng?"
Yan Feiyun was startled for a moment and said: "They were not there when I came back. I don't know where they went!"
Sima Ruiyuan said anxiously: "No, I have to find them!"
Xiaosi was so anxious that he just wanted to hurry up to the Drum Tower and join everyone. Xiaolong knew that he was worried about everyone's safety, so he stopped talking to him. The five-mile journey was only a matter of minutes, and Luhuadang was already in front of him.
Xiaosi looked at the Drum Tower and shouted loudly: "Xiaolong, it's down there, let's go into the building."
Xiaolong waved his tail and suddenly said: "Master, there seems to be someone fighting over there!"
Xiaosi followed his gaze and saw a figure in the poplar forest suddenly falling to the ground and spitting out a mouthful of blood. He vaguely looked like Lu Qinglin. He couldn't help but feel anxious and urged: "Hurry, Xiaolong
, let’s go over and take a look!”
Xiaolong responded, swung his tail, made wind with his four claws, and rushed into the woods in an instant. At this moment, he saw Zhang Cheng raising the simple knife in his hand and slashing the back of Lu Qinglin's head viciously. Xiao Si could see it.
Really, I couldn't help but scream, threw the wind and thunder thorn smoothly, and shouted at the same time: "Stop!"
Although the Wind and Thunder Thorn broke a gap, it still maintained its majesty. It nailed the Pu Dao and knocked the knife aside. Zhang Cheng was shocked and turned around to see Xiaosi riding a ferocious-looking giant one-horned dragon through the air.
He came, like a god, and couldn't help but be frightened.
At this time, on the other side of the forest, Sima Ruiyuan rushed in quickly and shouted to Zhang Cheng: "What are you going to do?"
Xiaosi fell to the ground, quickly came closer, picked up Lu Qinglin, and saw that his face was sallow, his eyes were closed, and he was already unconscious. He suddenly raised his head and stared at Zhang Cheng and asked: "Brother Zhang Cheng, what are you doing?
?”
Zhang Cheng lowered his arms in embarrassment, pondered for a moment without saying a word, turned around and left. However, Sima Ruiyuan quickly followed him and held his shoulders: "You can't leave, you must make it clear!"
Zhang Cheng shook off her palm and said coldly: "He deserves to be killed!"
Xiaosi could no longer bear it and asked loudly: "Why?"
Zhang Cheng snorted and said: "Seventy or eighty people in the villa were killed. If it hadn't been for him, how could there have been such a disaster?"
The veins on Xiaosi's head popped out, and he asked doubtfully: "You mean, this matter has something to do with Brother Lu?"
Zhang Chengdao: "If he hadn't secretly colluded with Demon Queen Xiao Chuo, how could she have made up her mind to massacre the villa, kill the owner and housekeeper, and Brother Yan. Xiaosi, if you remember the kindness of the housekeeper in raising you,
, just don’t stop him and let me kill him!”
Xiao Si had not yet answered, but his brows were furrowed. Sima Ruiyuan sneered and said, "Is this really the case? Why does Brother Lu want to collude with Xiao Chuo? What does he want?"
Zhang Cheng was silent for a moment before saying: "Presumably he has already secretly taken refuge with Xiao Chuo, just for the sake of glory and wealth!"
"In that case, Qing Ge, tell me, what happened just now?" Sima Ruiyuan asked Qing Ge with a half-smile.
Qing'e said numbly: "I just came in, and I only saw the two of them fighting, and didn't hear their conversation."
Xiao Si said suspiciously: "How could you not hear?"
Qing Goose glanced at Xiaosi, bit her lip, and turned away calmly. Sima Ruiyuan said again: "Xiaosi, please take Brother Lu back to the Drum Tower quickly. If it is true or false, we will know once we wake him up and ask."
"
Xiao Si looked at Zhang Cheng and Qing Ge, waved to Xiao Long above the woods and said: "Xiao Long, come down!"
"Master, I'm here!" Xiaolong responded. His huge body was as terrifying as a green dragon. When he entered the forest, he hit the branches and made them snap. Then his four claws gradually retracted and his body became smaller. When he landed on the ground, he had become
A boy with a pointed chin.
Qing Ge and Zhang Cheng looked at Xiao Long in surprise and said nothing for a long time. However, Sima Ruiyuan said in shock: "Who is he? Why does he look so much like a Manjushri slave?"
Xiaosi said: "This is Xiaolong, the one-eyed dragon that has always been against us. Now it has been subdued by me."
Sima Ruiyuan said: "Xiaosi, how can you keep him with you? What if he harms you?"
Xiaolong was so anxious that he was waving his hands wildly: "Little beauty, what are you talking about? How could I harm my master? I am determined to learn well, follow my master, be a good person, and cultivate to a good level!"
Xiao Si said in a hurry: "Okay, okay, stop arguing, now is not the time to talk, let's go back to the Drum Tower first!"
Zhang Cheng hesitated for a moment, looked at Qing Goose anxiously, and had no idea for a moment. Qing Goose glanced at him without any trace, and said calmly: "Okay, let's go back to the Drum Tower first. Wait until Brother Lu wakes up.
Come and ask him and you will know what is going on."
Xiaolong was eager to show off and immediately picked up Lu Qinglin. Not to be outdone, Baiyu Xiaowu jumped on his shoulders. Xiaolong shouted: "Xiaowu, you are naughty, Lu Qinglin is already heavy enough, and you still come to bully me!"
Xiao Wu squatted on his shoulder proudly, raising his tail and swinging leisurely. Xiao Si said to the three of them: "Let's go back."
Several people returned to the Drum Tower together, but saw that there was no one downstairs. Sima Ruiyuan said softly: "You guys wait downstairs, Xiaosi, take care of Brother Zhang Cheng, do you understand?"
Xiaosi was startled for a moment, and then he understood what she meant by taking good care of him, and nodded lightly.
Sima Ruiyuan climbed the stairs to the second floor, and saw Sima Xingtian looking at Ling Wanjun with a heavy face. The Yan family brothers and sisters stood aside, also silent, and walked over to take a look and said: "How is it? Can Uncle Ling be saved?
live?"
Sima Xingtian said sadly: "He has three stab wounds and one punch wound on his body. He has lost too much blood, less than one tenth of it. I'm afraid he won't survive tonight."
Sima Ruiyuan said anxiously: "That won't work. Xiaosi has come back and is downstairs. Xiaoxiao has just died. If Uncle Ling can't save him, I'm afraid he will go crazy."
The eyes of Sima Xingtian and the Yan family brothers and sisters both lit up: "Xiaosi is back? Call him up quickly!"
Sima Ruiyuan raised his finger and made a silent gesture: "It's not possible now." He immediately told what happened in the poplar forest, and finally said, "Zhang Cheng insisted that Brother Lu colluded with Xiao Chuo to massacre
The real culprit behind the villa, as long as we save Uncle Ling, everything will be revealed."
Yan Feiyun said: "Brother Lu is aboveboard, how could he collude with Xiao Chuo? I heard from Xiaosi that he has been hiding in Xiaochuo's room these days. How can he have time to have a private meeting with Xiao Chuo?"
Sima Ruiyuan said: "I heard Zhang Cheng say just now that it was because of Brother Lu's instigation that Xiao Chuo made up his mind to massacre the Villa and kill the owner of the Villa, Butler Ling and Brother Yan. It shows that he didn't know
Uncle Ling is still alive, so now the only one who knows the truth is Uncle Ling."
Sima Xingtian rubbed his palms and said, "But now the blood in his body has almost dried up, and there is no way he can save himself!"
At this time, Yan Feixue suddenly said: "Uncle Sima, if someone delivers blood to Uncle Ling, will it save him?"
Sima Xingtian wondered: "How could you have such an idea? It's not impossible to deliver blood to people, but if you narrowly escape death, the success rate is extremely slim."
Yan Feixue then told the story about Xiaosi feeding Lu Qinglin blood that day at Xianling Temple. After hearing this, Sima Xingtian stroked his beard and smiled and said: "Xiaosi is the most righteous man, but he fed Lu Qinglin blood The blood was only drunk into his belly and did not directly enter his blood vessels, so Lu Qinglin will be fine after drinking it."
Sima Ruiyuan thought for a while and then said: "Dad, do you think the blood of that one-eyed dragon can save Uncle Ling?"
Sima Xingtian thought for a while and said: "That dragon has been practicing for thousands of years and has gathered spiritual energy for thousands of years. The blood in his body is completely free of impurities and he is already a half-immortal. If you use his blood, you can definitely save Butler Ling. But now. I don’t know where he is, whether he is still in the Qinglong River, or even if he is in the Qinglong River, how can we capture him? I’m afraid Butler Ling won’t be able to survive that time!”
Sima Ruiyuan chuckled and said, "The one-eyed dragon is downstairs!"
As soon as these words came out, the three of them were shocked. Sima Xingtian said in shock: "Why is he downstairs?"
Sima Ruiyuan said: "It was Xiaosi who brought him back. I heard from him that the one-eyed dragon has become a disciple of Xiaosi and will no longer do bad things. He will follow him to become an immortal and achieve enlightenment!"
Sima Xingtian was stunned for a moment before he came back to his senses and said: "This kid Xiaosi is really unexpected!"
Sima Ruiyuan whispered: "I'll call him and ask him to order the one-eyed dragon to release some blood!"
Sima Xingtian nodded and said: "Don't alarm Zhang Cheng!"
Sima Ruiyuan responded, turned around and came to the stairs, looked down, and saw Xiao Si standing at the door with Fenglei Ci in his arms. Zhang Cheng was sitting in the middle of the hall, with Green Goose in the east and Dozing in the west. Xiaolong and Xiaowu came together. Then they quietly went downstairs and came to Xiaosi and whispered a few words. After hearing this, Xiaosi couldn't hide his excitement and uneasiness and said to Xiaolong: "Come here!"
Xiaolong woke up suddenly. When he saw Xiaosi greeting him, he hurriedly pushed Xiaowu away and walked over. Xiaosi pulled him out of the door and said in a low voice: "Xiaolong, I want to ask you something." ?"
Seeing his serious look, Xiaolong asked curiously: "Master, what do you want from me?"
Xiaosi lay down and whispered a few words in his ear. After hearing this, Xiaolong couldn't help but change his color. He jumped up and shouted loudly: "What? You want to bleed me? Impossible!"
