On the second day, the sky was slightly bright and the first light of dawn appeared.
"Squeak——"
A crack was exposed in the closed door, and then a handsome, soft, and spiritual face popped out.
After the rain, the sky clears, and everything is renewed. The air is filled with moisture and mixed with the fragrance of flowers, grass and earth.
It is hard to imagine that such a clear sky and clear sky could be so "tragic and violent" last night.
"When did the rain stop?"
The girl in green rubbed her sleepy eyes and walked out of the room. She walked into the courtyard and looked around, but saw no one.
"Damn Xu Sheng, he's not back yet. Where did he die?"
The girl in green cursed angrily, and then stretched involuntarily.
Last night, she slept very late, and she didn't close her eyes until the bad premonition dissipated little by little; then, she tossed and turned for a while before she really fell asleep.
Now, she has long forgotten the worries and fears of last night, and has returned to her former "heroic" and "cunning" self.
"Gulu!"
She wanted to scold Xu Sheng a few more times, but her stomach growled unsatisfactorily.
She is hungry.
Although she can still go without eating for many days, wouldn't it be better if she had delicious food.
"Where can we get something to eat?"
The girl in green was in trouble, but she knew that there was absolutely no food in Zhiyang City, and the rats were afraid of starving to death.
"How to do it?"
The girl in green murmured, turned her head, and her eyes suddenly lit up.
Yes.
Zhiyang is a mountain city, almost entirely surrounded by mountains. Although the front mountain was burned to the ground, the back side was relatively less affected, and the distance was still green.
In the dense mountain forests, there are naturally delicious wild animals.
"I have to find Xu Sheng quickly and ask him to find some deer breasts for my aunt to try."
The girl in green clothes muttered to herself, then no longer hesitated and walked out of the courtyard with her head held high.
Of course she could beat a deer, but such a bloody killing made her unhappy; besides, she didn't know anything about cooking after killing.
Of course, Xu Sheng must do the dirty work and troublesome things.
"Ahem"
The man in Taoist robes was sitting on the rock, looking miserable. His face was a mixture of mud and blood and sweat; there was no longer a complete piece of cloth on his body; his most outstanding long, flowing hair was already sticky and dirty.
Look.
However, he didn't care, there was a relieved and proud smile on his face.
After many days, he finally accomplished something worthy of his status as a disciple of the Heavenly Master.
The death of more than 80,000 soldiers, the loss of the Jinghong Sword, and the taking of his junior sisters as hostages. All these things had already overwhelmed him. But after last night's desperate battle, a little light finally seeped into his bleak situation.
His dead heart finally regained some confidence.
In this expedition to Guandong, he finally had some use and achieved a small success, even if the success is not worth the loss!
The general and Yan Danzhi were not accompanying him. They were busy organizing and appeasing the army. The Taoist-robed man looked back and could not find the two figures in the surging "sea of people".
"It's too late to say goodbye, please take care."
The man in Taoist robes stood up, bowed his head slightly towards the thousands of soldiers, and said in a deep voice.
He was about to leave and couldn't wait any longer. He didn't care about the abnormality of the general's sudden arrival here, and he had no time to inquire about the battle situation ahead.
Even if there is a huge defeat ahead and a crisis as deep as the sea, he will go without hesitation! Because he has determined that the safety of his junior sister is far more important than his own.
"oops--"
Xu Sheng finally woke up. He slept from the stormy night last night to the clear sky today. He slept from deep in the middle of the night to the scorching sun.
Unexpectedly, he slept for eight hours!
He hasn't been like this for a long time. Ever since he successively obtained "Spiritual Roots", "Relics", and "Nirvana Pills", his sleep time has become shorter and shorter day by day. Basically, he only needs to squint his eyes for three moments to lose all sleep.
.Then, because Zhiyang was in critical condition, it was as if he had been deprived of sleep. He had not closed his eyes for more than ten days.
He thought it would be difficult for him to sleep again, but he didn't expect...
"Are you too tired?"
Xu Sheng muttered to himself, stood up unsteadily, and stretched involuntarily.
At this moment, the bright sunlight was shining through the broken temple door, "squeezing" unscrupulously onto the hall. Xu Sheng looked back at the statue, and felt in a daze that it was unusually majestic.
"Whether you are ancient or present, good or evil, thank you for staying with me last night."
Xu Sheng took a few steps back, took in the full view of the statue, and spoke softly.
"Huh-huh-"
"what happened?"
The sudden sound made Xu Sheng's heart tremble. The statue made a sound?!
No, that's not right.
Xu Sheng's spirit concentrated instantly, and the "invisible secret power" flowed and condensed in his ears and eyes.
There was a sound behind the statue, and something was moving!
"Damn, what is it?"
Xu Sheng was extremely nervous and clasped one hand hard on the Jinghong Sword. For him, whatever happened and whatever he encountered was normal.
"Come out on your own."
Xu Sheng shouted, his fingers "clucking" due to excessive exertion. The "invisible secret power" dispersed from his ears and eyes, and gathered towards his arms and legs.
He was ready to fight, and if he couldn't beat him, he would run away quickly.
"Come out quickly!"
Xu Sheng drank again, his strength became more concentrated and his heart was beating fast.
"Huh-huh-"
The sound was the same as before. Xu Sheng waited for a while, but the thing showed no intention of coming out.
"Damn it!"
Xu Sheng cursed, turned his sword, and moved straight forward. He decided, since you won't come out, I will go and have a look.
One step, two steps, three steps.
"Dong-dong-dong-"
When your boots hit the floor, no matter how careful you are, there is no guarantee that there will be no sound.
Xu Sheng held his breath and walked around behind the statue.
"ah!"
He shouted, thrusting his sword straight.
"Um!?"
The edge of the sword turned sharply, and the breath he held was instantly dispersed, and his heart fell steadily from mid-air to the bottom.
He saw a man wrapped in a pile of rags, curled up, sleeping very soundly.
Zhiyang, there are still people who have not left!
"This homeless man can sleep better than me." Xu Sheng smiled awkwardly, but his smile quickly solidified.
When did this "tramp" appear here? Last night when he was viewing the statue of the gods, he walked around the entire temple without anyone else.
It wouldn't make sense if this "tramp" came after he fell asleep. After all, this place was too remote. Even if he was hiding from the rain, it had already been stormy for a while before Xu Sheng fell asleep. This "tramp"
You can't always look for shelter in the rain, right? The buildings in Zhiyang have not fallen to that level. No matter where the "tramp" is hiding, just stay there, why are you going to this ruined temple?
Even though he found it after the rain stopped, when he opened the temple door and saw a guy wearing a long sword lying in it, he didn't care at all. He walked to the back in a daze and slept until noon.
?
Unreasonable, extremely unreasonable.
Xu Sheng's sword pointed at the "tramp" again, and the "invisible secret power" regrouped and became more concentrated.
"Who the hell are you? Stand up for me quickly."
Xu Sheng roared, his voice mixed with cultivation, and his voice shook the ground ten miles away!
"ah!"
The man seemed to have been greatly frightened. He jumped up like a carp, rolled and crawled against the corner, and stood upright little by little.
"You...you...you...who are you? Why am I here?"
The man stared at Xu Sheng, his eyes flickering back and forth on the Jinghong Sword. It could be seen that he was very scared, his legs were spinning, and he couldn't even speak properly.
"what are you saying?"
Xu Sheng was also stunned. Why did he feel that the person in front of him was more nervous and clueless than him.
"Ah!? What are you talking about again? What are you going to do with the murder weapon?"
The man didn't seem to hear Xu Sheng's words at all, and was worried about himself. Then, he lowered his head suddenly, and Xu Sheng quickly followed suit.
Alas!
A stream of turbid yellow liquid flowed from his calf, followed the terrain, and reached Xu Sheng's feet.
"asshole!"
Xu Sheng cursed, his eyes becoming more ferocious. When the man saw it, he pressed his crotch tightly and clamped his legs with a "swish" sound.
