take my life

Chapter 9

In the early morning, while Chu Zeqi was still asleep, he heard the sound of the next door being gently closed. He turned over and continued to sleep. The white cat at the end of the bed seemed to be unable to wait any longer. It jumped onto his quilt and began to scratch him. Getting impatient, Chu Zeqi sat up, with a sullen face on his face, "Xiaobai, stop making trouble."

He named the cat Xiaobai because it is a white cat.After being yelled at by him, Xiao Bai obediently nestled beside his pillow.At this time, there was a sudden knock on the door, and Xiao Bai regained his energy suddenly, jumped out of bed and waited for Chu Zeqi to open the door.Chu Zeqi put on his coat, opened the door, and Xiao Bai disappeared in a flash.

It was Ye Mingyou standing outside the door. What's funny is that the well-dressed young master actually brought a big breakfast in his hand and personally delivered the meal to him.Seeing that the door opened, Ye Mingyou hurriedly served morning tea, "Brother Chu, why is it so late today, brother and I have already eaten."

Chu Zeqi avoided Ye Mingyou to enter the house, and asked, "Why did Brother Ye come in person?"

"There was a chrysanthemum meeting in the south of the city today. Xiaoyun begged me early in the morning, so I let all three of them go, so... I can only serve Brother Chu today." Ye Mingyou said playfully.

Chu Zeqi smiled slightly, "Master Ye is really kind to the servant."

Ye Mingyou didn't answer, picked up the lotus cake on the table, brought it to Chu Zeqi's mouth, poured another bowl of tea and put it in front of him. "The lotus flower cake is a famous food in Hangzhou. I specially ask Hangzhou masters to make it."

Chu Zeqi looked up at him, and opened his mouth to bite the pastry. The pastry had just entered his mouth and before he had time to taste it, he noticed that Ye Mingyou's face was red, and then he realized what was wrong. He wanted to spit out the pastry, but Ye Mingyou's hand was still there. It was too impolite to help him hold it up and spit it out, so I had to bite down and swallowed the pastry before embarrassingly saying: "I'm rude, brother Ye."

"It's okay, Brother Chu, try this again." Ye Mingyou graciously brought the jujube cake in front of him again, but he pushed it away.

"Brother Ye is looking for me...is there something wrong?" Chu Zeqi asked after taking a sip of tea.

Unexpectedly, he was spotted at a glance, and Ye Mingyou said, "Yesterday, Uncle Mei invited me to have a drink today. Luomeizhuang's plum blossom wine is the best in Yangzhou. I want to invite Brother Chu to go with me."

When Chu Zeqi heard Luomeizhuang, his breathing was stagnant. He didn't expect Meishi to have a close friendship with him, but I'm afraid that now, Meishi's bones are cold. "Since Brother Ye invited me, how can I refuse, when shall we set off?"

Ye Mingyou patted the table happily and said, "Right now! I'll prepare the horse."

Chu Zeqi put on his clothes, put his sword on his back, sat at the table and looked at the pastries on the table and couldn't help but sigh, how could he know everyone.

When he went out, Ye Mingyou was already waiting for him, holding his Wangyunzi in his hand, and said with a smile: "Luomeizhuang is not far from the villa, we will arrive at noon if we walk slowly, the plum blossoms there are filled with plum blossom Brother must have never eaten it, I asked Mei Bobo to prepare a few more jars for us, and I will not return today if I am not drunk."

"Okay, just listen to Brother Ye." Chu Zeqi also smiled back at him.

The two of them slowly enjoyed the scenery outside the city. The trees outside the city were already bare, and they looked bleak from a distance. Only then did they feel that winter was coming.The winter in Yangzhou is not as severe and cold as in the north, but also has a bit of the grace of the south of the Yangtze River. It only snows once every few years.

It was almost noon, and I could smell the scent of wintersweet blown by the mountain wind from a long distance.The two couldn't help speeding up, and the villa was not far away.

But at this moment, Ye Mingyou who was next to him suddenly reined in his horse and stopped, and Chu Zeqi stopped after him.I saw that the gate of the villa in front of me was already hung with white lanterns and white flags.The two looked at each other, and Ye Mingyou said: "Something happened at the villa." He jumped on his horse and galloped towards the villa, followed closely by Chu Zeqi.

Ye Mingyou rushed into the courtyard in a hurry, and the yellow wintersweet blossoms were in full bloom, with a strong fragrance.In the lobby of the inner courtyard, a few rows of servants knelt there, sobbing, facing a corpse covered in white cloth in the hall.Ye Mingyou walked over, only to see the owner of Mei Da Zhuang wearing linen clothes, standing there with tears in his eyes.Ye Mingyou also guessed Qiba in his heart, and he asked in a low voice: "Uncle Mei, what happened?"

The owner of Mei Da Zhuang burst into tears, closed his eyes and let out a sigh of relief on his back, and said bitterly: "Last night, the killer of the Tang Sect attacked the villa at night, and my second brother confronted him head-on. Unexpectedly, the killer was too powerful. Your Mei Er Uncle, he... was killed."

Ye Mingyou could only feel the qi and blood surging in his chest, Tang Sect killer!It's the Tang Sect killer again!The last time I let him run away, I didn't know how to restrain myself. It seems that Yangzhou City will never have peace until this scourge is eliminated!

"Uncle Mei, don't worry, I will definitely catch him personally and kowtow to the second uncle to make amends!" Ye Mingyou said bitterly.

In the courtyard, Chu Zeqi was sitting in the gazebo with upturned corners, where there were still bloodstains that had dried up, watching the mourning in Juzhuang, but he felt very at ease.Try it all, this is just the beginning, as much as you deprived me back then, I will ask you to give back as much.He sneered, his wolf-like eyes narrowed slightly, and the porcelain cup in his hand was crushed to pieces by him.

Just as he was about to get up and go back, he suddenly felt his wrist warm up, and something grabbed his hand.Chu Zeqi was startled, and with his other hand, he instantly picked up three hidden weapons.

He hurriedly turned his head, but when he saw who it was, all the hidden weapons in his hand fell to the ground with a clatter, tears welled up, he opened his mouth tremblingly, and forgot everything for a moment.

He let the warm hand hold his own, and the man in front of him said in a complaining and doting tone: "Look at you, and you are so careless, how many times has mother told you, don't talk to you?" Daddy will learn." As he spoke, he took out a thin handkerchief to gently wrap his finger that was cut by the porcelain cup, and gently touched his face, "Xiao Yu...Mother misses you so much."

Chu Zeqi stared blankly at the magnificent woman in front of him, her eyebrows and lips were just like the fairy in the painting, beautiful and dignified, her frown and frown seemed to have never changed, always so gentle and elegant.

Chu Zeqi hugged the person in front of him tremblingly, "Mom... I miss you too."

He actually knew that this was an illusion, an illusion brought to him by wax plum fragrance, but standing in front of him who had been thinking about it day and night for more than 20 years, he was willing to sink even if it was an illusion.

"Xiao Yu, you've grown up so much, come here and let Daddy hug you." There was also a voice calling him.

Chu Zeqi let go of the person in his arms, turned his head to look, and felt even more excited. The tall and heroic man was opening his arms, smiling and waiting for him to pounce on him like he was a child.

"Go Xiaoyu, your father misses you every day." Mother gently smoothed his hair behind his ears, with longing in his eyes.Chu Zeqi nodded, and happily walked over there.

But when he was halfway there, the sound of drawing a sword suddenly sounded in his ears, Chu Zeqi was startled, and hurriedly stepped away, the relatives in front of him and behind him all disappeared in the sound of drawing the sword, and Ye Heng appeared in front of him!

Immersed in soft words, he was suddenly pulled out of the illusion, and everything in front of him was in vain. It seemed that the soaring fire from that year swept over again, burning the tip of his heart. He stabbed at the leaf string without leaving any strength.

When Ye Mingyou walked out of the inner hall, he realized that Chu Zeqi hadn't followed him. He called several times in the courtyard, but no one responded.The scent of wintersweet in the outer courtyard was getting stronger and stronger. He took a few sips and it was a bit pungent, which reminded him of something. Uncle Mei Er once told him that the scent of wintersweet here would make people lose their minds. When I went to the nursing home at the gate, I asked for two pills of concentration pills, so as not to be confused.But neither of them had been convinced when they came, and now Chu Zeqi has disappeared, could it be... Ye Mingyou's heart tightened suddenly, and he hurried to the outer courtyard.

After passing the rockery pond, there was a man standing on the stone bridge in front, wearing black clothes, he did not look like a man from the village, the strange thing was that he was already at the side of the stone bridge railing, and he was still walking forward. Fall into the lake.Ye Mingyou wanted to step forward to remind him, but the man suddenly turned his face, half of his face was covered by a silver mask, and he showed him a weird smile.

Ye Mingyou was taken aback: "It's you again!" He quickly pulled out the Qianye Changsheng behind his back, raised his sword luck, and the Changsheng sword sliced ​​across a few ginkgo leaves and stabbed at the person.

When the man in black saw him, his expression became angry, and he also drew his sword from behind to block Ye Mingyou's attack.

His sword was no worse than his own Longevity Sword. The heat wave contained by the Longevity Sword was completely dissipated by the cold air. The man in black fought more and more fiercely, trying to kill him with every move.But Ye Mingyou was thinking while fighting, the blade of this sword is as sharp as frost and snow, isn't this Chu Zeqi's Extreme Sea Sword?How could it be in his hands?

Ye Mingyou easily dispelled the man in black's sword move, and wanted to take the opportunity to taunt a few words, but when he looked again, the man in black really turned into Chu Zeqi!

Ye Mingyou instantly understood what was going on, and secretly screamed that it was not good. When he was distracted, the condensed sword energy dissipated. Although Chu Zeqi's sword skills were not as good as his, but the sword power was extremely fierce.Ye Mingyou stood there unable to dodge in time, and the Jihai Sword stabbed at him with a huge impact. He only felt a chill in his abdomen for a moment, and a sweet taste in his throat, and his body rolled back uncontrollably.

Perhaps the smell of blood awakened Chu Zeqi. When he woke up, the Jihai Sword had pierced Ye Mingyou's abdomen, and the sword was in his hand. His bright yellow clothes were dyed dark black, and his body was like a ginkgo leaf. Falling into the lake as well.

Chu Zeqi hurriedly dropped his sword, jumped into the cold lake, and held Ye Mingyou, who was still sinking, with one hand. Ye Mingyou had already passed out, and a lot of blood stained the surrounding lake red. Chu Zeqi panicked all of a sudden. .He managed to swim to the shore with the dead Ye Mingyou in his arms, blood was still pouring out, he touched a few big acupoints all over his body, and shouted in a panic: "Brother Ye! Brother Ye? You can't do anything! "

Ye Mingyou's body seemed to be cold, and a thin layer of frost formed on his eyebrows and eyelashes. Chu Zeqi gritted his teeth, picked him up, and stumbled towards the inner courtyard.At this moment, a cold hand suddenly touched his face, Ye Mingyou slowly opened his eyes, staring at him with dark eyes, and said angrily: "Don't worry...you won't die." After finishing speaking, he fainted again die past.

Fortunately, at this time, someone from the village heard the sound and rushed over, and several people worked together to carry Ye Mingyou back. The owner of Mei Dazhuang cried like the sky collapsed: "Go and invite the best doctor! Then take the piece of wintersweet I cut down the tree too!" Originally, the death of a second owner would seriously hurt the vitality of the village, but this time the young owner of the Ye family encountered an accident here, it seems that his Meijiazhuang has reached the end of the road.

The best doctor here is also in Ye Family Villa, other than that, he is similar to Chu Zeqi, but this time the wound is too dangerous, probably because of his sword energy, he can only temporarily stop the bleeding, and then If Ye Mingyou died without losing blood, he would also freeze to death.

"Young master Chu, only you can save him now, even if the Ye family members come, there is no other way." The owner of Mei Zhuang said anxiously from the side.

Chu Zeqi knew in his heart that the way he wanted to save his life was to use his cultivation to make up for his lost vitality. If his cultivation was not enough, he might lose his life. Even if his cultivation reached his end, he might be exhausted lose.If he lost his skills, wouldn't that be the same as losing his blade on his sword and his arrows on his crossbow, and he could only dream of revenge?Then what's the use of him keeping Ye Mingyou alive?He, Tang Zhenyu, came to kill people, not to save them. "Sorry, I can't do anything," he said.

"Young master Chu, it's not that the old man is unwilling to rescue you. The second young master has a special constitution. He needs to use the longevity sword to divert his vitality. If ordinary people are sucked away by the yin and yang sword, their essence and blood will be exhausted and unable to return to heaven, but you are one of the yin and yang swords." , as long as two successes, you can help Young Master Ye through this calamity." The owner of Mei Zhuang almost begged.

"Why should I trust you?" Chu Zeqi asked.

"If I, Mei Ao Gu, speak half a lie, I will die!" The owner of Mei Zhuang swore pointing to the sky.

"In this case, I'll trust you once and give me the sword." Chu Zeqi took Qianye Changsheng with a stern face. Once the sword was in his hand, he felt a burning sensation, as if a fiery air flow flowed from his palm. Drill into the body.He put the hilt of the sword on Ye Mingyou's palm, and held the tip of the sword himself. Next, he will use his own blood as vitality to replenish him. Although the loss of blood is not much, it is enough for him to make up for it in a few years.

Chu Zeqi turned his head and glanced sideways at Mr. Mei Zhuang, and found that he was more nervous than himself.He smiled and said, "What is Master Mei nervous about?"

"The old man is afraid that the young master will delay the time, and Young Master Ye's life will be lost." Mei Aogu loosened her clenched fists, her forehead was covered with beads of sweat.

As soon as the words fell, Chu Zeqi's hand had exerted force, and the sharp sword tip cut into his palm unambiguously, and the huge suction force was like overwhelming waves that firmly sucked his palm, making him lose his mind for a moment. When he came back to consciousness, he felt as if something in his body was being pulled away continuously and rapidly, so fast that he felt something was wrong the moment he cut his hand.

"You lied to me?" Chu Zeqi gritted his teeth and gasped.

Mei Aogu had already retreated far away, and laughed triumphantly at the side: "You are not the only owner of Jihai Sword, of course they treat them equally, besides, as a disciple of Chunyang Palace, you are supposed to help all living beings and save people in the world. Shui Huo, this is what you should do, after you die, I will say a few good words in front of Master Ye, and I will give you a good burial, so I will not treat you badly, right?"

"You're going to die!" Chu Zeqi gritted his teeth.He tried his best to break free from the shackles of the Longevity Sword, but his skill would only get weaker and weaker as time went by. Absorbed into an empty shell.

"Aren't the disciples of Chunyang Palace always superior? You kneel in front of me and still want to kill me? You just save the young master of the Ye family well, and maybe you will be credited with a meritorious service when you arrive in the underworld."

"You..." Chu Zeqi propped his weak hands on the side of the bed, his whole face turned pale, bead-sized beads of sweat rolled into his eyes and slid out again, his moist eyes were still shining brightly, but the ends of them were stained. A touch of blood red.

Mei Aogu leaned over to look at his face in surprise, and suddenly burst out laughing: "Crying? The owner of Jihai Sword is nothing more than that. Could it be that Fang Zhujian was blind and passed on such a good sword to you? "

"Shut up!" Chu Zeqi's lips were bleeding from his own bite, and his pale face was reflected together, which was extremely strange. His slender eyes were fixed on Mei Aogu like a wolf, and suddenly he didn't know where the strength came from. He rushed forward suddenly and grabbed his throat.

Mei Aogu was caught off guard and thought that he had already lost the ability to move. When he felt a phantom flashing in front of his eyes, Chu Zeqi had already firmly grasped his neck.

"Don't...don't kill..." Before he finished speaking, his neck was pinched and he was lifted into the air.

Chu Zeqi stared at his blood-red eyes, completely lost the gentleness before, and said viciously: "My master has nothing to do with you! I am neither Daoist nor Buddha! It doesn't matter whether you live or die in this world! Since you want to save him so much I'll let you save me completely!" After speaking, he threw the person to the ground hard.Mei Aogu got up quickly and wanted to fight back, but he easily dispelled the move, his hand was grabbed, and the two of them screamed in pain at the same time.

Chu Zeqi only felt a force rushing into his body, making up for the energy he had consumed.Mei Aogu roared like a ghost, he could feel his vitality being sucked away by Chu Zeqi, the speed was far faster than the Longevity Sword, and his internal organs would be crushed, but his hand was caught Forget it, he is the one who has no ability to move at all, he can only helplessly kneel down in front of him, staring and dying.

"No...don't!" Chu Zeqi threw away the dead Mei Aogu, but the pain in his body still didn't ease. Instead, he felt that the Longevity Sword was full of vitality and was flowing backwards. Two forces were rampaging in his body, Ice and fire have always been incompatible, and they are only willing to give up when one devours the other, but no matter who devours the other at that time, his body will be torn to pieces.

Chu Zeqi knelt on the ground in despair, with a sad expression that he had never felt before. He still failed in the end, just because he trusted others, and the hard work of more than 20 years was about to come to naught and dissipated with him. "Mother..." Chu Zeqi cried out in pain.

"You are really impatient, you dare to try anything."

The sudden sound startled Chu Zeqi to open his eyes, only to hear the sound of sharp blade rubbing, a flame-like red light flashed in front of him in the blink of an eye, the Longevity Sword fell off with a bang, and fell to the ground with a bang. The golden light of the package also disappeared.

"The Longevity Sword took a fancy to your Xuanyin body and wanted to become one with you, but his master disagreed, otherwise you would have died long ago." The man put the scimitar back on his back. Flames were blazing, and the saber, which vowed not to accept blood, extinguished its arrogance in an instant, and it sat on his back obediently, just like an ordinary scimitar.

"Who are you? How could you resist the power of the Longevity Sword?" Chu Zeqi raised his head weakly, and was stunned when he saw the man.
