uncle

"Huh?" Chen Cang didn't react for a moment.

Kang Ling took two steps closer and said, "One of the three things, I want to come see my little uncle."

This sentence fell into Chen Cang's ears, and it flowed into his mind after going around for a few times. After slowly and slowly savoring it word by word, Chen Cang finally understood what it meant. He blushed instantly and couldn't say anything. .

Kang Ling didn't urge him, but he didn't look away either.

Chen Cang realized belatedly, why was he blushing? Kang Ling was just saying something ordinary.He hurriedly forced himself to calm down. Fortunately, he still had facial paralysis for many years. Chen Cang calmed down his emotions quickly, but his mind was still in chaos, and he said, "Don't call me little uncle from now on."

"Then what do you want to call you?" Kang Ling's tone rose, and his smile evoked a hint of lingering meaning.

Chen Cang was speechless, he said the same thing, he tended to go in other directions, and quickly explained: "I have already left Luoxia Palace, so naturally there is no need to call me little uncle in the future."

There was some surprise in Kang Ling's eyes, but he didn't ask carefully. He picked up the previous topic very naturally and covered this episode, "The other two things, one of which is related to the medicine in our body."

"How?" Hearing the "medicine", Chen Cang's attention was immediately concentrated, and he asked.

"I found a solution, but there are a lot of materials that need to be prepared, and here happens to be the most important one."

"Here? Wulan City?" Chen Cang said, this city is not a place where geniuses and treasures can be found.To unravel Madam Yan's medicinal properties, ordinary materials probably won't work, Chen Cang felt that it should not be easy.

Kang Ling nodded: "Indeed, it's right here. Does little uncle know the trading market behind the scenes in the cultivation world?"

Coincidentally... just heard it.

"The underground trading market in Ulan City is not small. There are individual buyers and sellers, as well as organized auctions. The material we are looking for will be auctioned here soon." Kang Ling said.

"What is it?"

Kang Ling took a deep look at Chen Cang, and then said, "It's Mrs. Yan's corpse."

Madam Yan's body?Chen Cang almost thought that he heard it wrong, it was simply nonsense.Not long ago, he had seen Mrs. Yan with his own eyes. She was alive and kicking. How could she be a corpse now and be sold in the underground market? !

"Madam Yan's corpse? Are you sure it's not a stunt?"

Kang Ling shook his head, "To be precise, it's not fake, but it's a little different from what you imagined. This is Madam Yan's previous body. I only found out recently that Madam Yan was punished when she was sentenced to the Lonely Dragon Palace. , the original body was severely damaged, so she simply took it away and changed her body, which also made it easier for her to become a demon."

"So, the auction here is the original body of Mrs. Yan?"

"That's right, this original body was taken by the Lonely Dragon Palace at the beginning. This time, the Lonely Dragon Palace was looted several times. It is estimated that it was taken away by someone during this period, and then it was sold to the black | market."

Chen Cang nodded, this makes sense, "But what does Madam Yan's original body have to do with deciphering the medicinal properties in our body?"

"To be honest, I actually didn't find a way to dissolve the medicine's nature, and I didn't even know how the medicine was made. It was just after hearing about the existence of Mrs. Yan's original body, I had a whim and thought of the medicine I collected before A prescription, somewhat evil. This prescription does not have a name, but what is written on it is - an eye for an eye with a tooth for a tooth."

"A tooth for a tooth, an eye for an eye?" Chen Cang said, "Could it be possible to return the properties of the medicine to Madam Yan?"

"Theoretically, that's the case." Kang Ling was serious.

Chen Cang felt a little absurd...he didn't really believe it.

Kang Ling knew that this was not convincing enough, so he shrugged and said, "Try, you have no other choice anyway."

This is still true... Chen Cang is silent, he really has no other way.

Forget it, let's just go and see Mrs. Yan's "corpse".

"By the way, I haven't asked you yet, why do you suddenly want to buy a sword, are you finally tired of being evil?" Kang Ling asked.

When they met Kang Ling, the two chatted a lot, but they completely forgot about his buying a sword, and when it came to buying a sword, they remembered...

"Why are you in Huanglongguan's shop? Didn't the person in charge say that someone would come to introduce me, could it be you?"

Kang Ling smiled: "It is indeed me. As for why I am here, it is related to the third thing I have to do, but it is not important, let's not mention it for the time being. Right now, let me be a guide for the little uncle .”

"Oh...all my things have been taken away, including Fuyao. I wanted to buy a sword Yujian and went to Chushan to look for you." Chen Cang replied honestly.

Hearing this, Kang Ling stopped the hand that was about to reach out to take the sword, a flash of inspiration flashed in his mind, and he had an idea, and said: "The swords here are all ordinary, and with my little uncle's cultivation, they won't last long. will be ruined."

I promised to be a guide, but this is messing things up...

"Then what should I do in your opinion?" Chen Cang said.

"It's not urgent. It's not easy to choose a suitable sword. The shop sells all ordinary products. Why don't I accompany my uncle to some ancient ruins to find a chance?"

"Didn't you tell me not to call me little uncle..." Chen Cang said helplessly, "Besides, it's probably not good to waste your time like this."

"Don't delay, don't delay," Kang Ling said quickly, "What can the idlers at Chushantou No. [-] do?"

"..."

"Tomorrow's auction, today I can still show my uncle around." Kang Ling said, forgetting that the two of them should not be too close to each other, and wanted to pull Chen Cang after taking a step.

Chen Cang hurriedly took a big step back, and hurriedly said, "You! Stop!"

Kang Ling withdrew his feet, a trace of regret flashed in his eyes, but he said in distress: "It's too easy to cross the line."

In the end, the two of them didn't go "walking around". After all, there was such a distance between the two of them, and it was not too convenient to do anything.

Kang Ling arranged a place for Chen Cang, and Chen Cang, who had been walking for several days, finally had a decent place to rest.Chen Cang didn't have a high need for sleep, so he wouldn't have any problems if he didn't sleep for a few days. He usually meditated and rested, but today he really felt a little tired, so he lay down on the bed.

After relaxing, some emotions will slowly roll out, gradually occupying every place in the body.

Chen Cang rubbed his thumb against his index finger. There used to be a storage ring here, which contained everything in Luoxia Palace, but it no longer exists.

Luoxia Palace completely turned the page in his life.

All of Chen Cang's memories started from the Sunset Palace. He didn't remember what his parents looked like. As long as he could remember, there was only one part of his life in the Sunset Palace, and there were a lot of brothers and sisters.There was also a time that was so beautiful that it was unreal, but it is a pity that beautiful things can't last long, and everything is shattered. Seventy years ago, Luoxia Palace suffered a catastrophe, and only three disciples of Chen Cang's generation survived.

Everything has changed since then.

Among the three, one is missing, one is Chen Cang, and the other is the current Palace Master Wang Zhijia.Both Chen Cang and Wang Zhizhu have infinite nostalgia for Luoxia Palace, and both want to keep the beauty in their hearts, but they are walking on different paths.

Leaving Luoxia Palace meant a complete farewell to the past.This kind of feeling is probably that there is an old scar on my heart, which has not completely healed, but there is no clue on the surface.I have always hinted that this scar does not exist, so I have been deliberately ignoring it, but now I have picked this scar away with my own hands.

Chen Cang seldom recalls the events of 70 years ago, and usually Wang Zhijia doesn’t talk about the old events with him very tacitly. Chen Cang will even pretend that these events never happened, and those who died didn’t die. Occasionally meet, and then say "ah, long time no see".On the one hand, he was unwilling to admit it, but on the other hand, he was very clear. Under the torment of the two, the current Chen Cang was formed.

If it wasn't for being trapped by Mrs. Yan this time and seeing the illusion, maybe Chen Cang would continue to deceive himself like this.Back at Luoxia Palace, the conversation with Wang Zhijian made Chen Cang nowhere to escape.Blindly shrinking your head is useless, forcing yourself to face it, facing Luoxia Palace is no longer the beautiful palace in memory.The last safe haven in the world has long since disappeared, and I can only leave if I don't want to.

All the deeply buried and covered emotions crawled out, one hand after another grabbed Chen Cang, trying to tear him apart.

Chen Cang curled up into a ball, hugged himself, and used this posture to resist all the biting cold.He has been soaking in the ice pool all year round, and he should not be afraid of the cold, but now he feels extremely cold, so cold that he has no strength to resist.

Closing his eyes, in a blur of consciousness, he saw all kinds of things from the past again.Some people are laughing and playing, some are lazy and slippery, some use gentle hands to lift themselves up when they fall...

It's so beautiful, it's so beautiful that it shatters at the touch of a finger.

The nightmare appeared again, and the people in the dream were suddenly shattered, bleeding all over the ground, accompanied by whining cries, lingering endlessly.Chen Cang's consciousness was divided into two parts, one half was trapped in the dream and could not extricate himself, and the other half floated out of the body, watching all this from outside the dream.The waking half was still distracted thinking, only Quexie would trigger his nightmare, but this time Quexie was silent for a long time, why did he still have a nightmare?

He knew that these were all fake, but he couldn't stop being frightened and trembling.No matter how many times you see it, you can't be numb.

"Little Uncle?" There was a sudden knock on the door, "What's wrong with you?"

Hearing Kang Ling's anxious inquiry, Chen Cang realized that he had called out.Consciousness returned to one body, but it was still a little chaotic. He wanted to make a sound, but he couldn't.

Seeing that Chen Cang didn't answer, Kang Ling continued to pat on the door and said, "Uncle, I came in?"

After speaking, he opened the door and walked in.

Chen Cang barely opened his eyes and saw a rough outline. He was about to tell Kang Ling that he was fine, but before he could open his mouth, a new chill rolled up in his heart, which almost froze him from the inside out.His thinking stagnated, and Chen Cang couldn't figure out anything.Looking at that outline again, I feel inexplicably warm.

It seemed that someone was talking, but Chen Cang couldn't hear anything clearly, and only followed his instinct to get closer to that heat source.
