Chapter 715 Broken Temple

The whip whistled in the wind, as if responding to the rumbling thunder in the sky, and the dark clouds spread wantonly, covering the tired sunset in the evening.

Apparently a torrential rain was brewing and could pour down at any moment.

But Qin Ke, who came all the way, didn't seem to care at all, just staring closely at an old temple in the countryside, as if he could already see the peeling vermilion lacquer gate.

"Xiao Hei, are you sure it's that direction?" Qin Ke lowered his head and asked softly.

The little lizard on the chest still looked like it was waiting and watching, its big eyes flickered, as if it was sensing something, then nodded and squeaked.

After getting an affirmative answer, Qin Ke didn't feel too happy. He just squeezed the rein with his right hand slightly, wanting to give himself some encouragement.

It has to be said that the speed of the saint is really terrifying. From Nanyang to here, he has already ran across two counties, and after a day and a night of raiding, he finally found this old temple at the foot of the mountain in the countryside.

It's just that he was a little hesitant in front of him. After all, the battle between Luo Fengchu and Gao Changgong was uncertain. Who knew what the result would be after the opening of this ruined temple?

A life-and-death battle is nothing more than a life-and-death battle, but at this moment he inexplicably feels that Gao Changgong is more likely to lose, so the action of pushing that old door seems particularly slow.

But no matter how hard he rubbed, the door of the old temple opened slowly with a dull creaking sound, and the electric light that penetrated from outside the door was like hoarfrost that was suddenly brushed on the ground, straw and rags, tiles and earthen jars , There is even a puddle of weird things on the floor of the messy debris, which looks very disgusting.

This is shit-like stuff, maybe...Gao Changgong was beaten out of shit...

Qin Ke knew that his mind was a bit confused now, so he came up with many weird ideas for no reason, but finally he gritted his teeth, pushed the door open again, stepped over the threshold, and entered the old temple.

It can be seen that this old temple has been abandoned for a long time, just from the mess inside.

Dusty dry straw and fragments of bricks and tiles were connected together, years of dust had accumulated on the central stone platform, and thick cobwebs were interspersed and woven by spiders on the clay statues, making each face blurred.

But Qin Ke just glanced at these things slightly, and then his eyes fell on the corner of the wall, a man leaning on the pillar like a drunk man, his clothes were torn like a net, looking very messy.

"Gao Changgong?" Qin Ke glared, not expecting that he would be the first thing he saw, so he trot to his side to help him up in surprise.

"Don't help." Gao Changgong who opened his eyes looked very tired, even his complexion was pale as snow, but his smile was very bright, "It took me half an hour to get well, if you continue to toss around like this, I just The right rib had to be broken again."

Qin Ke was a little startled, then immediately relaxed his hands and feet, and began to touch Gao Changgong's chest to confirm the injury.

"Where else are you injured?"

"how did you find me?"

The two people asked a question at the same time, but the two people's questions were not about the same thing at all. Naturally, the conversation could not proceed smoothly.

As a junior, Qin Ke can only press his own question for the time being, and answer first: "It wasn't me, Xiao Hei found it by following his breath. He originally wanted to find Luo Fengchu first, but he found you first." .”

As the biggest hero of this journey, Xiao Hei, with his big eyes open, was at his collar at the moment, with only a small head sticking out, tilted slightly, and let out a soft cry.

"So that's how it is." Gao Changgong was not too surprised, but said with some relief: "I said earlier that your puppy will be useful in the future, but it seems that it won't be useful in the future, just now it has already made me look a little different. "

"He's not a puppy." Qin Ke naturally knew that Gao Changgong's statement was just a joke, but Xiao Hei, who had no choice but to hear that he was programmed as those animals that only knew about barking in the streets and alleys all day long, was very dissatisfied, and even made a move. In the face of threats, he had no choice but to comfort him first.

Seeing that Gao Changgong still had the strength to make a joke, Qin Ke's heart fell to the ground, and he complained: "You didn't tell me anything beforehand, and suddenly there was such a big scene, causing Nanyang to be full of fire and heavy rain. , Long Jin is also dead, and you are also injured like this, why bother."

Gao Changgong leaned against the pillar, still looking weak, so he just grinned and said, "Didn't you want me to save you? Isn't it rescued now? If I didn't risk everything to sing such a big show, how could you So chic."

"I didn't want you to pay such a price." Qin Ke curled his lips, but he was still very grateful to Gao Changgong. Suddenly, he seemed to remember something, and hurriedly asked, "Where is Luo Fengchu? How is she?"

"That's exactly what I want to say." Gao Changgong smiled and said, "Why don't you turn around and have a look yourself? It's in that corner."

Qin Ke looked suspicious, turned around slowly, suddenly screamed, and stepped back three steps, only then did he see clearly that there was a red dress sitting cross-legged in the darkest corner. , pale, eyes closed, like a statue.

When such a bright red dress appeared in the ruined temple, most people would definitely think of the old people’s scary stories about those evil spirits who died because they were not married. The evil ghost was much stronger, and he stammered: "She...is she here too?"

"What a fuss. Why are you like a countryman who has never seen the world." Gao Changgong didn't think there was anything wrong with this, but laughed and scolded: "If she is not here, where else can she be? It is going to rain, and only here If you can hide from the rain, why don’t you stay outside and get soaked?”

A saint is not a character who is afraid of rain. This joke is not funny, so Qin Ke didn't laugh.

However, Qin Ke took a closer look at Luo Fengchu's pale complexion, and probably knew the outcome between her and Gao Changgong.

It was a tie?

Qin Ke looked at Gao Changgong in surprise, and respected him for his great wisdom and courage. How many people in this world can fight against a saint, and how many people can fight against a saint and even draw?

Even when he transformed into a dragon last time, he just beat Luo Fengchu away, he definitely didn't push her to such a desperate situation.

But Gao Changgong's immediate words made his heart jump again: "Qin Ke, kill her!"

Qin Ke didn't expect that Gao Changgong would suddenly make such a request, and he couldn't react for a while, so he just stood there stupidly.

"Under the straw, Pojun is hidden. You take it and insert it into her heart. Even if she is a saint, she will only turn into a dead person on the spot."

Gao Changgong's tone suddenly became extremely cold, as if the gust of wind outside the door due to the approaching heavy rain had chills down one's spine.

After the rustling sound, Qin Ke did find the Pojun sword from under the straw, or the half of Pojun with the hilt.

Although it looks so rough and even a little ugly, both Luo Fengchu and Gao Changgong have proved that the damaged Pojun still has a very powerful power.

Gao Changgong originally planned to complete this task by himself, but unfortunately, his current situation is no better than Luo Fengchu's, and it is even less likely that he will pick up the heavy Pojun again.

Perhaps it was God's favor that allowed Qin Ke to find their place so quickly, so he felt that he had won this duel.

Although Gao Changgong looks gentle and elegant on weekdays, with a bit of playfulness like a big brother, but at this time, he fully demonstrated another identity-the decisive general Jingwu, the one who once led eight Qian Tieqi, the undefeated god of war who broke through death and made a way out.

"Don't forget, if she doesn't die, she will still go to trouble your master. If you want to ensure your master's safety, there is only one way." Gao Changgong's eyes shot out a cold sharp edge, and the terrifying killing intent almost condensed for the essence.

"Kill him! Qin Ke!"

With a shout, Qin Ke's back suddenly trembled, and then he took a few steps forward involuntarily, and slowly approached the person in the red dress.

Chapter 716 Saint, Yasheng and Qin Ke

Even facing a cold sword blade, Luo Fengchu still maintained her usual calmness, as if a lofty mountain rose from the end of the ruined temple, even if the sky hanging above her head could not reach her. Suppress her self-confidence and arrogance.

She had escaped twice before, in a state of embarrassment, the world was vast, and she was like nothing, but in her heart, the crying and trembling Luo Fengchu was dead.

Although Qin Ke felt that his guess was very mysterious, after getting along with Luo Fengchu for the past few days, he had an intuition in his heart - this woman is actually a dead person, or in other words, everything she did was In pursuit of self-destruction.

Even if she really gets her wish and kills the "heartbreaker", she will never stop, nor will the killing stop, she will only indifferently enjoy the process of self-destruction, and let more people, things, things Fall into the abyss of death with her.

Was it because Master failed her that she became like this?

If he was decisive, this would probably be the most glorious moment in his life, right?

After all, even a great master like Yuan Feng lamented that if he could fight a saint in this life, he would die with no regrets, and in front of him, there was an excellent opportunity to kill a saint...Of course, what he was thinking of was not fame Li Wan, it's not whether this action will make his state of mind rise to a higher level, his eyes are full of red balls, there are Luo Fengchu's dilapidated but still bright red dress, and his imagination. What happened was that when the broken sword pierced the woman's chest, golden-red blood might be sprayed everywhere.

He suddenly trembled all over, and shook his head vigorously trying to get rid of the red color, but he found that he was actually afraid of seeing such a scene.

"Kill her!" It seemed that the people who were buried in the sea of ​​fire in Nanyang County were shouting at Qin Ke.

"Kill her!" Gao Changgong's deep voice exploded with the muffled thunder outside.

"Kill it..." There seemed to be an indistinct voice from a very far away place, and finally he saw these two words in Luo Fengchu's unwavering eyes.

"Is she yearning for relief?" Qin Ke asked himself.

He closed his eyes, and he has never felt so cowardly as he is now. After so much, he is no longer that cowardly country boy. His sword and hands have already been stained with the blood of various people, but why, he When facing Luo Fengchu, there was only endless pity in his heart, and... reluctance?

Startled by his own thoughts, he took a few steps back abruptly, and the Pojun Duanjian slipped from his palm dejectedly.

He was amazed by his own thought, he even wondered if he was under some kind of mysterious bewitchment when he looked at Luo Fengchu just now...

Luo Fengchu stared at Qin Ke's face with her cold eyes for a while, and then silently looked away. No one noticed that under her calmness, a moment of surprise seemed to pass by.

Qin Ke picked up Po Jun, walked to Gao Changgong with a bitter face, shook his head and said, "I can't do it. After all, Master can't stand her. If I kill her, wouldn't it be that Master has committed another heavy sin?"

"Who in this world will care about your sins or not? People only care about whether you are alive or dead. Living people can tell stories to others, but dead people can only be put into stories and told." Gao Changgong was still weak all over. , so I could only lean on the pillar and say coldly: "She is too strong, and I don't know when I will be able to break through, so I can only take this opportunity to kill her in one fell swoop to avoid future troubles."

"Can't she be locked up? As long as she is not allowed to kill innocent people indiscriminately."

"What kind of cage can hold a saint?" Gao Changgong supported his body with all his strength, with a hint of anxiety in his brows: "If you let her go now, I'm afraid there will be no such opportunity in the future. If she wants to enter Jianye City, what can you use to block it?"

The strong wind raged and danced outside the old temple, the whining sound was like a group of ghosts wailing, Qin Ke's complexion became more and more ugly, Gao Changgong's voice echoed in his ears, he never thought that this person could change So majestic, so terrifying, so irrefutable.

Qin Ke tried to raise Pojun again, put it down again, raised it again, and went back and forth three times. In the end, he didn't even dare to get close to Luo Fengchu's side.

In fact, he didn't understand why he was like this, but invisibly, something suddenly pressed his shoulders, and even gently calmed the killing intent that was constantly burning in his heart every time, making his heart feel more and more excited. The earth returned to calm.

At this time, Luo Fengchu, who had been silent all this time, finally spoke. She satirized Gao Changgong and said, "This is the god of war that everyone in Jingwu admires? Now you can only force a child to be a hero, don't you think it's ridiculous?"

Gao Changgong frowned, and also responded unwillingly to be outdone: "The ridiculous thing is that you can't forget him until now. Let me think about it. Could it be that your cultivation, which reaches the sky, is also for him?"

I don't know if it was stabbed by Gao Changgong somewhere, Luo Fengchu's whole body was suddenly chilled, as cold as a towering glacier in the extreme north: "Wait a while, I will kill you first."

"Please, but with your current situation, you can't wait a while, you have to wait a while." Gao Changgong actually laughed.

"How can you be better? You should first think about whether you can see the sun of the Ming Dynasty."

"You don't need to worry about that. I am just facing the window, so I must see the sun before you."

"I knew you had such a cheap mouth, I should have burnt your mouth just now." Luo Fengchu tried hard to clenched her fists, but found that her fingers were not quite in control.

"I knew you would act like a demon today, and I would have persuaded my father to go to your Luo family to propose a marriage whatever I said back then..." Gao Changgong tried his best to put on a satisfied expression, and covered it up with an ugly fake smile because the deep-seated The corners of his mouth twitched involuntarily due to the severe pain.

Standing in the middle, Qin Ke looked helplessly at the two masters who could only quarrel, so he had to try his best to persuade the two not to quarrel, and save some energy to heal their injuries before talking.

After thinking about it, he hesitated and said to Luo Fengchu: "Can you...don't look for my master anymore? As long as you promise not to make things difficult for my master in the future, I will let you go."

Luo Fengchu glanced at him, with a bit of mockery: "I promised, you dare to believe it?"

"I...should be..." Qin Ke scratched the back of his head, and felt that his suggestion was a little unreliable, but what if he couldn't do it?

"Oh, I won't agree." Luo Fengchu closed her eyes, "If you want to kill me, you'd better do it immediately, otherwise, as Gao Changgong said, you will never have such a good chance again."

"Look, aren't you also forcing this child? Are you more noble than me?" Gao Changgong looked at Luo Fengchu who was begging for death, and said sarcastically, "Since you want to die, why don't you just find one?" Hang yourself from a crooked neck tree, hit a pillar to your death, or jump into Luoshui, I will put a few stones on you for your funeral, why do you have to let him kill you?"

"Shut your mouth first!" Counting the number of times Qin Ke got angry with Gao Changgong, I'm afraid he can count on one hand, but never before has he been able to yell so righteously and confidently, even majesticly, with his chest surging His qi and blood exploded like a wave.

"Stop arguing for now! I'm so annoying!" Qin Ke said loudly, "One collapsed on the ground like mud and couldn't move, and the other was covered in wounds, which was more embarrassing than the felled mountain god in this ruined temple. You still have the strength to keep making noises!"

For a while, apart from the sound of wind and rain coming from outside, the old temple was really quiet.

It's interesting to say that one is the Jingwu God of War who is about to break through the realm, and the other is the Luanfeng Saint who has already broken through the realm. They both shut their mouths obediently after being yelled at by the little master Qin Ke...

And after Qin Ke finished yelling, he didn't have much strength to speak anymore, so he just threw Po Jun back on the straw, squatted down beside Gao Changgong to help him see the injury, and said while watching: "Let me show you the injury first , when you regain your strength, go kill it yourself."

He took out dry food and water bags from his backpack, distributed them to Gao Changgong, then walked up to Luo Fengchu, and asked her, "Do you want some?"

Of course he knew that Luo Fengchu was already an extraordinary person and hardly needed to eat, but now she and Gao Changgong were both in extremely poor condition, and eating something would definitely help their recovery.

Luo Fengchu didn't refuse this time, raised her hand hard to take the dry food, and immediately stuffed it into her mouth to chew. She didn't see the usual grace and elegance at all, but because of the dirt on her body, she looked like a hungry mountain girl.

Qin Ke also sat down, and was extremely troubled when he saw that the two were secretly competing and wanted to recover faster than the other.

Amidst the dull thunder, the rain was getting heavier and heavier, and the outside of the old temple was almost a swamp of water. Amid the sound of wind and rain, moso bamboos were shaking in pieces. I don’t know whether it was because of the joy of being nourished by the rain, or because of the ubiquitous Tianwei felt trembling.

Qin Ke lit the few remaining candle stubs in the old temple, and there was some twilight, and the whole space finally looked less gloomy, except that occasionally mice could be seen escaping from the rain through the hole in the corner, but because of the small Hei's aura frightened them, and they never dared to get any closer.

Before he knew it, Qin Ke leaned against the stone platform and closed his eyes and fell asleep. It seemed that there was a heavy rain in his dream. In the rain, two figures were flying and fighting back and forth, and his cries were all overwhelmed by the thunder. submerged.

After an unknown amount of time, the sound of the rain gradually stopped, leaving only the rustling of the bamboo forest and the dripping water from the eaves. Qin Ke opened his eyes gently, and saw that the two were still sitting and lying quietly, without even changing their positions.

The difference is that Luo Fengchu has been meditating with her eyes closed all the time, but Gao Changgong fell asleep and fell asleep, with a slight snoring sound between her nose and breath.This is probably because Luo Fengchu's practice is spirit, while Gao Changgong's practice is qi and blood. The former needs to concentrate and meditate, but the latter is better to sleep and recover faster.

But next, who knows what kind of earth-shattering confrontation these two people will have?

Thinking of this, Qin Ke started to have a headache again. He didn't know where his pity for Luo Fengchu came from, but he knew very well that he would definitely not be able to kill Luo Fengchu. Just help, Qin Ke thought so.

But Yuan Feng said that he had already paid back the favor he owed, and his body was injured again, so after praising Xiao Hei a few words, he resolutely left, and the old boat gang is currently immersed in the death of the old gang leader, so naturally they will not Someone came looking for him.

When he closed his eyes and meditated, there were very light footsteps coming from far and near in the mud outside the door.

Qin Ke's ears moved, and the technique of wind vision unfolded silently. After he became more convinced that the voice was not his hallucination but real existence, his eyes slowly opened, with some doubts and vigilance, one His hand touched the dagger in his arms.

After such a heavy rain, who would walk in the mountains?If it was just a passerby who wanted to come to the ruined temple to avoid the rain, then he probably wouldn't have walked so leisurely.

"The sound of these footsteps is a bit superficial. It doesn't sound like a practitioner, but like a frail scholar..." Qin Ke stood up lightly and walked towards the door.

Chapter 717 The Mystery That Must Be Faced

"Zhuge... Uh, Prime Minister..." Qin Ke just said a few words, and Gao Changgong who was lying on the ground suddenly opened his eyes.

It was indeed Qin Ke's familiar face, with facial features very similar to those of his master, his eyes full of worry and wisdom, and the wide Confucian robe inside the cloak made his tall figure even more stalwart, and the blue scarf fluttered in the wind. With a bit of a dusty smell.

He stepped over the high threshold, it seems that because he saw Qin Ke, he showed a relieved smile.

However, at this moment Gao Changgong had already shouted at Zhuge Wanling angrily, his voice was as loud as if a thunder had exploded in the temple: "What are you doing here! Go back! I already said this last time, so don't get meddled. Is it so difficult to listen to me once? Are you out of your mind or have you drunk too much?"

Qin Ke was startled by the shout, and looked at Gao Changgong with a strange expression, not understanding why this person was so angry all of a sudden.

Could it be because he cared about Zhuge Wanling's body and didn't want him to travel thousands of miles away to wear it down?But this attitude is a bit different.

By the way... How did Zhuge Wanling find this place?Qin Ke suddenly realized what the problem was. He had to know that he had found this place thanks to Xiao Hei's superhuman intuition, and Zhuge Wanling was just an ordinary person, so what...
