[Shadow Guardian] The Wind Rises from the Wild West

Hong Han repeatedly checked the shabby straw paper bag in his hand, and sniffed the medicinal powder inside. It seemed that it was indeed the powder of some herbal medicines.But □□ can also be herbal medicine, he said uncertainly: "I think it is better to use our golden sore medicine."

Yun had already taken off his shirt, and the most serious wound on his waist was torn apart just now, and the tied cloth strips were already bright red.He took a light breath and removed the cloth, saying, "If the great witch wanted to kill me, I would have died just now."

Hong Han raised his eyebrows, as if for this reason.Let's just believe it, and carefully sprinkle the medicine powder on Yun's wound.

Thanks to the young man's profound internal strength, the wound was not too deep, but it was very long.

It hurts when the powder is sprinkled on, and Yun took a breath to bear it.

Hong Han didn't know why he liked his appearance so much.In the past few days, they have been running endlessly every day, and they are extremely tired, but the boy seems to have grown up suddenly, opened up, like an insect breaking out of a chrysalis, squeezed out from a tight shell .As the wind blows, slowly shake off the wings that have grown.

Not just because of the sun or the wind and sand, his skin was no longer fragile and pale, but began to show a warm color.

Hong Han liked Yun in this way better, and after spraying the medicine, he couldn't help kissing his cheek.

Yun said in a low voice: "Master, someone is here."

Who is so short-sighted!Hong Han quickly wrapped up the boy's wound and raised the curtain of the tent.

There was a wolf outside the door—no, it was a big witch with a wolf's head on his shoulders.The big witch was about to leave, and said: "Ah, don't you continue? Continue, I will come back after you are finished. Young is good!"

Even the most generous Hong Han felt very embarrassed.Can't help coughing, said: "Why is the great witch here?"

"You southerners are cunning and cunning." The big witch pointed to the boy in the tent, "Of course I didn't come to you, I came to him."

This is the first time someone has come to look for Yun specifically, is it his first guest?So Honghan let the door open.

Yun stood up and saluted the big witch seriously: "Thank you for giving me the medicine."

The big witch looked him up and down, and asked, "Why are you here?"

He asked this question without beginning or end, but Yun understood it, and didn't know how to answer it for a while.

Da Wu didn't seem to be expecting an answer, so he sat down on his own. "When I was young, I used to travel all over the Central Plains, looking for martial arts competitions everywhere. Young people, they are all like that, you know." He looked at Honghan, and continued: "Later, I lived in Tiandu for a year. For a while, I met a man there, a very powerful man, he was dressed in black like you, and his martial arts style was very similar. You should know who he is."

In Tiandu, it should be the shadow of the emperor, and it should be the shadow of the father.Ying follows the emperor, guarding the palace city. When a master arrives, he will naturally feel it, so it is not surprising that he will meet the great witch.Yun pondered for a moment, and replied, "That should be a senior from my same sect."

The big witch's eyes lit up, "Do you know him? His name is Xin."

Yun thought in his heart that the shadow of his father was called Xin. "I've seen it, but I don't know it."

The big witch asked: "Is he still in Tiandu now?"

Yun lowered his eyes and said: "This senior died 11 years ago." After the death of the master and the death of the father, Ying naturally cannot live alone.He was still ignorant back then, but now he is extremely clear that there is no way Xin is still alive.

"Oh..." The big witch was silent for a moment, then suddenly smiled. "Ah, I thought I've practiced my internal skills for more than ten years, and I can compete with him to win a round, this guy!"

Yun felt that he should comfort the old man in front of him, but he didn't know how to speak.

But the big witch suddenly relaxed, took a sip from the wine bag he carried with him, and said with great nostalgia: "At that time, I went to the palace every day and night to compete with him, but I never won. After three months, I left Tiandu. Sigh, I feel dissatisfied, but it doesn’t make sense to keep it.”

Yun wondered to himself why Dawu's Central Plains dialect had an obvious Tiandu accent.

"I went back to the grassland and stopped looking for martial arts competitions. Not because I was discouraged, but because I finally thought of a way to win. I lost, not because of martial arts moves and quick wits. You think I traveled all over the world when I was young. Zhongyuan, I have seen and heard a lot. I am not short in moves, but in skill. He is also in his 20s, and his internal energy is much stronger than mine. It is almost like a man who has practiced internal energy for decades. Like the Grandmaster, this monster!"

The big witch looked at Yun and smiled, "That's right, it's almost as different as your current skill. The only way I can think of is to practice hard for another 20 years, and then find him to get back..." He took another sip of wine , "But it's the same to find you to get back the scene, the same, hahaha!"

He laughed, but there was no joy in his laughter.The tone said that he was laughing, rather than crying.

Yun and Honghan looked at each other, not knowing how to persuade the old man.Hong Han silently took away the wine bag that the big witch drank, and handed over his own wine bag.

What his wine bag contained was not milk wine from the prairie, but good wine brought from Majiabao.Dawu noticed the difference as soon as he drank it. "Oh? This wine is good! Young man, you are not bad!"

The big witch turned his head to look at Yun again, and said: "You are also very good, your martial arts are simply terrifying!" He stopped suddenly, as if he had realized something, "No, no, no..."

He stood up suddenly, turned around in the small tent a few times, and looked at Yun fixedly: "No, you don't look like twenty, but you have already achieved great martial arts. He was only in his early twenties, and he has already mastered martial arts." Dacheng. Usually, it takes three to fifty years to practice deep inner strength, but as the age grows, the endurance and agility of the body will decline. It will rise and disappear, and it will be very balanced. There are many fights, and most of the old fighters are masters of the inner family. However, you can combine the two and reach the peak at a young age, which is not in line with heaven!"

Hong Han rolled his eyes, and couldn't help but say, "Why doesn't it conform to the law of heaven!"

The big witch slapped his hands: "If something goes wrong, there must be a demon!"

Hong Han couldn't help it anymore: "You are the monster! Your whole family is a monster!"

The big witch continued to ignore him, and said to Yun very seriously: "Young man, I advise you to take it easy after practicing. You people in the Central Plains often say that things are always reversed. Such exercises may damage the body, maybe... maybe Xin..."

Yun lowered his eyes and replied: "I see, thank you." Of course he knew that Blazing Flame's practice was harmful to the body, even if the emperor had a long life, the shadows of each generation would not live long.

Hong Han was not happy, he snatched back his wine bag, and said: "If you can't beat it, you can't beat it, and this is a curse. So that's what the big witch does!"

Yun thought of something and changed the subject: "Is your medicine effective for horses?" He held up the remaining medicine packs.

Hong Han asked, "What happened to your horse?"

"injured."

Dawu immediately became angry, "I am Dawu! Not a veterinarian! You can waste the medicine if you like, don't ask me!" He snatched Honghan's wine bag and left in a daze.

Yun went to see his horse.His injuries are all traumatic, not serious, just take care of him.But his horse was more serious. An arrow hit the horse's belly. Although the wound was not big, the wound was deep, and bleeding continued after the arrow shot.Experienced people shook their heads when they saw it, and told the boy that the horse was dying.

But Yun refused to give up, applied golden sore medicine on it, wrapped the horse's belly with cloth strips, and slowly led it back.Seeing him doing this, Ji Kan could only sigh.At night, the horse finally couldn't stand up, and fell to the ground with its legs bent.

When Yun went to see it, it struggled to stand up, but failed.Yun stepped forward quickly and stroked its forehead.Ma meekly arched his hands, as usual.

This chestnut horse has belonged to him since it left Qishan Mountain. It has a white strip on the bridge of its nose. It has a very docile personality and runs very fast.Yun named it Xiaoli.If horses can also be friends, Xiaoli is his first friend after leaving Qishan.

Hong Han is his master, not his friend.

As for Jingqujiang, Jikan, and Shisanshu, they gradually got to know each other later.

From Qishan to Yucheng, from Yucheng to Beiguan to the city, until he crossed the grassland, Xiaoli was always with him.When I am the loneliest, as long as I touch Xiaoli's forehead, I can get a little warm comfort.

But now, Xiaoli can't stand up, he doesn't know what to do.

Horses sleep standing up. If they can't get up when they lie down, they are really dead.

"Give it up." Hong Han knelt down and looked at Yun. "Give it a good time." He pulled out a dagger from inside his boot and handed it to Yun.

Yun didn't answer, but looked at his horse.The eyes of horses are beautiful, and the eyes of herbivores are beautiful, moist and bright, with long eyelashes, kind and innocent.The horse also looked at its master.

"It cried." Yun said.Even at night, he could see the horse's eyes getting wet, as if he knew that he would be abandoned by his master.

Honghan said patiently: "If you don't give it a good time, it won't be able to leave tomorrow, so it can only stay here and wait for death slowly. Either it will be eaten by wild beasts, or die by itself. Even if you stay here, It’s just dying slowly with it. You still can’t do anything.” The mount will always die, and it will pass this level sooner or later.

"Give it a good time, and then eat its meat." Hong Han suggested.

"Eat it?" Yun rarely showed a surprised expression.

"In this way, it will be with you forever. Anyway, it will be eaten by you or by wild beasts." Hong Han said cruelly.

"I can bury it."

"That's just for the worms in the ground. It's no different."

The boy looked at the horse, and the horse looked at the boy with wet eyes.He whispered to the horse: I'm sorry to make you hurt for so long, but it will be fine soon.

Hong Han didn't see how he moved, the dagger had already accurately pierced the horse's heart.Yun has a dagger, which is usually hidden in his left arm.He only saw the boy hugging the horse's head, and then the horse's head sank little by little.Honghan went to Layun and was surprised to find out.Yun cried.

He had never seen this young man shed tears, no matter whether he was in Yucheng or Beiguan, whether he was enduring with lowered eyes or dying from a serious injury, he had never seen this young man with too many expressions, let alone shed tears.

Now, a horse died.Yun cried.

While weeping, Yun divided the dead horse according to the method taught by Honghan.Then he personally lit a bonfire and roasted the horse meat.

A horse is very big, and many people come to eat together.There are Thirteen Uncles, Ji Kan, Jing Qujiang, all the guards, and many others whose names cannot be named.

There is meat to eat, but everyone is silent.No one laughed, and no one made trouble. They drank and ate meat silently, as if holding a ceremony.

"Look back, I'll pick you another good horse, a thoroughbred horse, as good as mine." Hong Han said.

Yun didn't agree, and after a while, he whispered: "Xiaoli is my first friend."

"Xiao Li?" Hong Han didn't realize it was Ma's name. "That's not to say don't name your horses!"

"Without a name, it will be forgotten."

"So what if you forget!" Hong Han put down his wine bag. He often fights on horses, and he takes great care of the horses, but he never names the horses because he can't afford the debt.

Yun suddenly looked up.His eyes were moist and clear, and he looked straight at Honghan, which he rarely looked at before.

He said slowly: "My name is Yun, my surname is Qi, and my name is Yun.

Honghan thought, so he has a surname, the most noble surname in the world, the surname of the royal family.
