Han Dao Pi Lian struck Qin Xiao's head from behind.
Qin Xiao had already felt the sharp wind coming from behind. He was horrified. The window was not broken and he could not escape. For a moment, he only felt that his hands and feet were cold. He knew that he could not avoid this knife. His life was ended at the hands of a ghost.
Three's hands.
Han Yunong was sure that the Zhenhou Mansion was concerned about the imperial court and did not dare to attack Qin Xiao easily. However, he never imagined that when Qin Xiao found the Buddha statue in the Hou Mansion, Gui Shou San almost became a dead soul under the sword due to some combination of circumstances.
Guishou San is a desperado. He came to take revenge tonight, but he doesn't care about the court.
"puff!"
There was a muffled groan coming from behind. Qin Xiao had already closed his eyes. The sharp wind disappeared in an instant, and then he heard a strange sound coming from behind.
Qin Xiao was horrified and turned around suddenly, only to find Guishou San covering his throat with one hand, and the hand holding the knife had fallen limply.
In the darkness, Qin Xiao suddenly discovered that a gleaming blade emerged from Guishou San's throat, and blood was already flowing down from his throat.
Guishou San covered his throat and made a "gurgling" sound in his throat. He seemed to try his best to turn around, but he only turned sideways. Before he could fully turn around, he fell sideways and his body twitched on the bed for two seconds.
Down, there was no more sound.
There was a deathly silence in the house, and the smell of blood from the blood filled the house.
Qin Xiao looked at the motionless body lying on his side on the bed and felt his heart beating so fast that he even forgot to breathe for a moment.
It's not that he has never seen dead people. When the plague broke out in Turtle City and he was living outside, he saw many people lying on the roadside because of the plague. He even saw corpses that had stinked and rotted without care.
But the corpse in front of him shocked him like never before.
He knew that if Guishou San was not dead now, then the dead person would be himself.
Guishou San wanted to take his own life, but he died here instead.
He saw more clearly at this time that a sharp weapon like a dagger penetrated the back of Guishou San's neck and penetrated his neck.
There is no doubt that when Gui Shou San slashed with his knife, the dagger pierced Gui Shou San's neck from behind, and it was this blow that allowed him to escape death.
He raised his head suddenly, and finally saw a figure standing on the other side of the door curtain.
In the darkness, the black shadow was like a ghost, making no sound.
Qin Xiao's heart trembled, knowing that Guishou San must have been killed by this black shadow. Since the other party saved him from Guishou San, he should not be an enemy.
"Thank you for saving my life." Qin Xiao immediately held up his hands and stared at the black figure. Suddenly his body was shaken and he lost his voice: "Is it... is it you?"
For nearly two hundred days and nights, Qin Xiao has been waiting for the mysterious man.
The mysterious man appeared twice, both when Qin Xiao was suffering from cold syndrome, and both times when Qin Xiao was in a trance. Although Qin Xiao had been waiting for him to appear again, he never even saw the face of the man.
However, I only vaguely remember that the man was wearing a black robe.
The man at the door curtain was also wrapped in a black robe, almost blending in with the darkness. If Qin Xiao hadn't had excellent eyesight, he wouldn't have been able to spot him for a while.
The man didn't answer, but said in a hoarse voice: "Drag the body down."
The voice was very old, but Qin Xiao could still tell that it was not a man's voice.
Could it be that the mysterious person he has been waiting for is actually an old woman?
Although the mysterious man appeared twice, his appearance was not revealed each time and he did not even say a word. Qin Xiao always thought it was a man.
But since the man gave the order, Qin Xiao didn't waste any time and jumped out of bed. Then he took Gui Shou San's legs and took off the body from the bed.
The bedding on the bed was stained with blood, and the smell of blood in the house was quite strong.
Only then did he see the dark figure slowly walking over, stretching out a hand from his sleeve. Qin Xiao found that the person's hand was wrapped in a black scarf, not showing a trace of skin. In her hand, there was a small porcelain bottle.
I saw a black shadow pouring some powder from a porcelain bottle onto Gui Shou San's face. The moment the powder fell on his skin, it made a "chi" sound, and then a pungent odor hit his nostrils.
Qin Xiao immediately covered his nose, and the changes on Guishou San's face made Qin Xiao's expression change drastically, and he took a step back.
After the black shadow poured out some powder, he immediately put away the porcelain bottle and stood beside the body without saying a word.
The moment Guishou San's skin came into contact with the powder, it began to melt instantly. Almost in the blink of an eye, the skin and flesh on his face melted rapidly, and spread to the whole body. Even the skeleton inside began to melt.
As the body melted rapidly, a pungent stench filled the house.
Qin Xiaowan didn't expect that a little bit of powder could have such a terrifying effect.
In a moment, Guishou San's body turned into a pool of blood, leaving only the clothes soaked in blood and the sharp blade that penetrated Guishou San's throat.
"Take care of it yourself." The black shadow finally said softly: "Wrap your hands with a cloth to avoid touching the blood." Without saying a word, he turned around and left.
Qin Xiao said hurriedly: "Well...Senior, why did you save me several times?"
"Some people don't want you to die." The shadow didn't look at Qin Xiao, but said in a hoarse voice: "At least you don't deserve to die for now."
Qin Xiao was startled and said in surprise: "Someone doesn't want me to die? Who is it? Senior...who is this senior?"
"Holy?" Heiying seemed to be laughing at himself: "I am not holy, I am just a lonely ghost who cannot see the light of day."
Qin Xiao knew that if the other party was really the mysterious person he had been waiting for, he would be afraid that he would not be able to see him for a long time after leaving this time.
This person appeared several times when his life and death were at stake, and he came in an extremely timely manner, which really surprised Qin Xiao.
Why did the other party come to the rescue several times, and why did he appear at the right time every time? This is of course what Qin Xiao wants to know the most.
Listening to the other party's answer at this moment, although he did not directly admit that he was the mysterious man, he did not deny it either.
"Senior is joking." Qin Xiao was naturally filled with gratitude to this person, and said again: "Senior, can you let me see my true face, so that I can remember my benefactor's face, and I will repay you if I have the opportunity in the future."
The black shadow said lightly: "I'm not joking, I am a lonely ghost." Thinking of something, he took out something from his arms and threw it to Qin Xiao. Qin Xiao quickly took it, but it was a yellowed book.
There were more than a dozen thin pages, and he felt strange in his heart. The man had already said: "These few times, you have been lucky. I happened to arrive in time, but I can't be by your side anytime and anywhere. If you really encounter danger in the future,
, you still have to rely on yourself.”
"senior......!"
"This is the [Immortal Qi Technique], which is the lowest level introductory skill." Heiying whispered: "Take half an hour every day and follow the method to nourish Qi. There will be no progress in three to five months. If
If you persist for a long time, you will always have some success in a year or so."
Qin Xiao asked in surprise: "The Ancient Intention and Qi Jue?" "Also, clean up that fish intestine thorn and carry it with you." The shadow said: "This fish intestine thorn is very sharp. It may be useful in times of crisis.
"The right hand threw something on the ground, but it was a scabbard. Look at the size of the scabbard, which exactly matches the fish intestine thorn that killed Ghost Hand San.
Qin Xiao took the [Immortal Spirit Art] into his arms and then said: "Senior, does he also live in the city? We last saw each other and we haven't seen each other for nearly half a year. Can you tell me where you live? I will visit you often."
The black shadow's voice suddenly became extremely cold: "Remember, nothing happened tonight. The assassin has not come, and I have not been here. In other words, I do not exist in this world at all. Everything that happened, you
I will forget all about it immediately."
"Why is this?" Qin Xiao always thought that when the mysterious person appeared again, the doubts in his heart would be explained. But when he saw the mysterious person tonight, besides knowing that she might be an old woman, his doubts became even deeper.
"You talk too much." Heiying seemed to be in a bad mood, his hoarse voice was cold, and he turned around and left without talking nonsense.
Although she was old, she was extremely agile. When Qin Xiao came to his senses, there was no trace of her in the room. Qin Xiao rushed out of the room, and there was no trace in the main hall. In the blink of an eye, the mysterious old woman seemed to appear out of thin air.
Just disappear.
Qin Xiao was stunned.
He had always thought that Han Yunong's martial arts was amazing, but after seeing the mysterious old woman's skills tonight, he realized that this old woman's martial arts was far from comparable to Han Yunong's.
At this time, I finally understood that the legendary masters who were flying over the walls and looking like ghosts were not fake. There were indeed incredible masters in the world.
After I calmed down, I thought there were still things to clean up in the house, so I followed the mysterious old woman's instructions, wrapped my hands in a coarse cloth, carefully cleaned up the house, wiped away the blood, and found a shovel in the kitchen.
He dug a hole in the corner and buried all the blood-stained clothes and sheets in it, including Gui Shou San's big knife.
After everything was packed up, it was already past midnight, but he did not feel tired. He lit the oil lamp and took a closer look at the cleaned fish intestines under the lamp.
As the name suggests, the fish intestine thorn is as long as a dagger, but its shape is like a fish, narrow at the front and back, and wide in the middle. When his fingers touch the blade, it feels cold to the bone, and there is even more cold light under the lamp. He can't help but take it.
With the fish intestine thorn, he lightly scratched the corner of the table, and a piece of the corner was instantly cut off. It was really sharp.
Qin Xiao was surprised and happy. Just now, the mysterious old woman said that the fish intestine thorns were extremely sharp. He had not yet felt it. At this moment, he could cut off the corner of the table with almost no effort, and it was sharper than he thought.
Of.
He put the fish intestine thorn into the sheath and put it on the table. Then he carefully took out the "Ancient Intention and Qi Jue" from his pocket. He turned to the light and saw that the book had turned yellow and looked very old. He turned to the first page.
, a page full of words was written.
When he lived with the old man when he was a child, the old man did not send him to the village school, but secretly taught him how to read and digit at home. At that time, Qin Xiao was very puzzled why other children in the village could go to the village school instead of studying in the village.
But you can only study at home?
But the old man had a weird temperament. Although he lived with Qin Xiao in the village at that time, he rarely interacted with the villagers. Even the cabin he lived in was some distance away from the village and seemed lonely. The old man had told Qin Xiao not to reveal anything at home to anyone.
When studying, Qin Xiao never dared to disobey the old man's instructions.
People in the village did not know that Qin Xiao could read. Even when Qin Xiao later moved to Turtle City and entered the Yamen of the Duwei Mansion, few people in the village knew that Qin Xiao could read and write.
