Copper Coins

This man surnamed Xue was born to do great things, even if he led people to escape, he would run with thunder and thunder, as if his momentum was not worthy of his face.His lower body is uncomfortable, and his tail is difficult to cooperate properly.

"On the way, I can control the direction only by pushing or supporting the strong wind I brought in." Xue Xian sat leaning against a tree drenched, patted his leg, and said lazily: "You just use your feet to think. Thinking about it, I also know that it will be somewhat unstable, isn't that obvious."

In fact, it's not "somewhat" unstable, but very unstable, which can be described as extremely thrilling——

During the whole journey, Shizhang prayed frantically for the ancestor's claws to be hooked a little tighter. He only regretted that he didn't have eight legs, so he couldn't cling tightly to the dragon's claws like the cuttlefish.Whenever Xue Xian rolls around in the clouds, or soars higher, he is always so excited that he feels that he has ascended to the sky, and at the same time he is so frightened that he screams and screams, it is really exciting. lost.

While surfing in the sky, Jiang Shining was still thankful, he felt lucky that he was wise, so he changed back to a paper shape in the inn and slid it into Lu Nianqi's hidden pocket in his arms.The paper is light in weight, and the pocket is hidden in the skirt, so you don't have to worry about it falling off. It won't be as embarrassing and elegant as a stone sheet.

Who knows that his luck didn't last long, because Xue Xian's speed was too fast, and the wind alone couldn't stop him when he landed. He couldn't control his tail, so he couldn't think of a more suitable method, so he picked one that looked deep enough. Wide enough near the city lake as a foothold.

A black dragon of that size, charging straight down like this, might be able to splash half of the lake water and smash a whole section of the city wall.

This ancestor is so smart, he saw that he couldn't stop the car, and turned back into a human after throwing everyone halfway, he still didn't forget to grab the clothes from Xuan Min's hand at that moment.

So, hearing a few bang bang bang bangs, everyone fell into the water one by one.

As soon as Xue Xian fell into the water, he was caught by Xuan Min.

It was said that the two were going to the shore, but Xue Xian's half-paralyzed body only moved his wrist symbolically, and was actually brought ashore by Xuan Min.

Shitou Zhang and Lu Nianqi were just slapped hard by the water, and Jiang Shining was almost soaked to death—it’s just a piece of paper, not copper, and it has been punished several times.

When Xuan Min carried him out and hung him on the dry thatch to dry, he felt like he was alive after a catastrophe, but he didn't dare to move his hands and feet, for fear that if he moved slightly, his arms and legs would be broken.

Jiang Shining had lingering fears: "Ancestor, what do you think?" Just throwing people away at such a high place?

Xue Xian rested his elbows on a nearby stone, and said casually, "I have a brainstorm."

"..." Jiang Shining silently vomited a mouthful of blood.

The ancestor was leaning against a tree with his back, and the black clothes on his body were thrown on in a hurry, half-naked, a bit unruly.

Xuan Min couldn't bear the feeling of being drenched all over, so he drew a rune on his hand, and the monk's robe dried completely in the blink of an eye, leaving it spotless white.He walked a few steps in the wet grass, leaned over and wiped the foreheads of Lu Nianqi and Shitou Zhang with his blood-stained fingers, and then touched Jiang Shining's trembling paper.

The pale bloodstains quickly disappeared.

"I feel... a fire is roasting me." Jiang Shining said carefully.

"Cleaning Curse." Xuan Min explained lightly.The reason why they only smeared one rune on their body and did not draw a complete rune is because it will be a little hot when it takes effect, and they are afraid that they will not be able to bear it.

Jiang Shining was so thin that most of it dried up in the blink of an eye, and he immediately relaxed, hanging completely paralyzed on the branches and leaves of the withered thatch.

Xue Xian tugged at the neckline, the soaked clothes tightly stuck to the skin, making it heavy and uncomfortable.

He was about to steam the heat from his body to the surface of his skin so that he could dry his wet clothes, when he saw Xuan Min who had settled down those people walking over.

Although the white linen monk's robe is a bit unlucky in the eyes of ordinary people, it is really beautiful, like a wisp of white mist in the middle of the night, the hem gently sweeps over the withered grass and gravel, but it is not stained by dust or stars.

Xuan Min walked up to him and looked down. Xue Xian was still sitting lazily, looking up at him neither salty nor indifferent.

Before waiting for him to say something in the inn, he almost suffocated himself to death. Now that Xue Xian was waiting for something with a vague mentality, his brain should be used to raise fish.

"Don't stand in front of others." Xue Xian said without emotion.

Xuan Min was standing, he was sitting, if he didn't look up, he could only see Xuan Min's hand hanging by his side.

Just when he withdrew his eyes and stopped looking at Xuan Min, the hand hanging in front of his eyes suddenly moved.

Xuan Min didn't bend down, just lowered his gaze, gently lifted Xue Xian's thin chin with his fingers, causing him to raise his face halfway, and his blood-stained fingers fell towards Xue Xian's forehead.

Xue Xian was taken aback by the touch, and subconsciously glanced at Xuan Min's finger, wondering if it was his illusion, he felt Xuan Min's blood-stained thumb stopped on the side of his face.

For a moment, he felt that Xuan Min's finger was about to touch his face, but the fingertip only paused for a moment, then moved up, and wiped a line gently on his forehead.Xue Xian raised his eyes.Seeing that Xuan Min still had that cold and indifferent appearance, his calm eyes fell on his forehead, as if he was doing something very ordinary.

Xue Xian couldn't see what the bloodstains on his forehead looked like, but he could feel the drenched and sticky clothes drying quickly.

"Can bending over kill you?" He straightened his clothes and said lazily.

Xuan Min put down his hands and finally looked into his eyes, "You don't need to turn your head on?"

Xue Xian: "..."

He almost wanted to press the boulder on which his elbow rested on the bald donkey's face, "I am willing, you can control it, get out!"

Xuan Min himself is used to having few emotions, and has lived for so many years and has never cared about the emotions of others.To him, Xue Xian's temperament of changing face faster than flipping a book, clinging to others at one moment and driving them away at the next, is like a person who has never walked before and has to float on the water. The span is quite a bit. big.

After Xue Xian slapped the stones to drive people away, he saw the bald donkey standing and staring at him for a while, and then he really went away like a man. He suddenly felt the old blood in his heart churn, and he could vomit the bald donkey's face with just opening his mouth.

Jiang Shining, who dried himself completely, slid off the dry thatch and turned back into a human form. As soon as he turned his head, he saw Xue Xian's dark face.

"Why do you have such an expression?" Jiang Shining thought about it, and said, "It took a lot of effort, and you're hungry again?"

Xue Xian gave a "hmm" and said quietly, "The teeth are itchy, and I want to eat people."

"..." Jiang Shining looked at Shizhang and Lu Nianqi worriedly.

But Xuan Min didn't really go far, he just built a simple pile of dead branches and leaves between Shitou Zhang and Lu Nianqi, dried it, struck a fire stick and lit a fire, so as to avoid this Two frail ones, one older and one younger, froze to death while drying their clothes.

After the fire was lit, Xuan Min came back and stood beside Xue Xian.

"What else?" Xue Xian frowned at him.

Xuan Min raised his hand to untie the string of copper coins around his waist, wiped it with his fingers, and said to Xue Xian, "Stretch out your hand."

Xue Xian spread out his hands suspiciously, and Xuan Min put the copper coins into his palm, "Some magical artifacts have tempered enough aura over time, and they can be used for other purposes."

When he said this, Xuan Min glanced at Xue Xian's two unconscious legs.

Naturally, Xue Xian had heard of this saying, but things like "dharma implements" were always used by ordinary people, and he didn't use them, so naturally he never thought about them.The so-called "copper coins have a layer of shiny skin" is because of quenching the aura. This kind of magic weapon with the essence of aura is a good help. It will be all right.

Anything can be done, which means... Maybe it can also help people's bones and muscles.

Xue Xian understood what he meant when he thought of Xuan Min's glance at his legs and feet just now.only……

For most people, this kind of magic weapon is like another life. Others are taboo to touch it as if they have made an enemy, let alone sending it directly into other people's hands.

Xue Xian looked at the copper coin in his hand, for a moment he didn't know what to say, his expression was rather complicated.

After a while, he finally couldn't help but ask, "Did you take rat poison?"

Xuan Min: "..."

The ancestor still couldn't believe it, he waved the copper coin in front of Xuan Min's eyes, and then again... wanting to give Xuan Min a chance to regret it.

As a result, when it reached the third circle, Xuan Min pressed his paw back quite wordlessly, and said: "There are still restrictions on this copper coin, but it can be used to some extent. I won't be able to use it for the time being. You Take it first."

"Restriction?" Xue Xian was taken aback for a moment, and then he understood a little more - no wonder the copper coin looks dusty and has no spirit at all, so that's what it is.It's just... "Who sealed the ban? You yourself?"

"I don't remember." Xuan Min shook his head, "Each of the five pieces has a layer, and now the restrictions on two of them have been slightly loosened, and it may be released in the near future."

Hearing this, Xue Xian bit the tip of his tongue and thought for a moment, then he still took the copper coins - when he was still paper and gold beads, he could still take advantage of his body shape and rub against Xuan Min's waist to recover.Ever since he returned to his original body, no matter if he was in dragon form or human form, it was inconvenient for him to lean on Xuan Min's waist.

That scene... just thinking about it is a bit eye-catching, let alone putting it into practice.So these days, the recovery of Xue Xian's spine suddenly slowed down. He could feel the changes, but compared to before, the changes came a bit slower.He didn't want to drag his useless legs and be hugged around.

Simply awe-inspiring.

Xue Xian thought about it expressionlessly, and without any further hesitation, he put the copper coin in his palm, closed his eyes and concentrated on raising his spine.

After all, the blood-stained clothing cleansing spell is not as good as a complete spell. It took some time for Shitou Zhang and Lu Nianqi's clothes to dry completely, and it took some time to recover from the shock and confusion.

"Why are you not in a hurry?" Lu Nianqi was not used to being a drag on others, and after recovering, he asked Jiang Shining a little uncomfortable.

Jiang Shining sat down by the stone, and quietly looked at the city gate illuminated by the lanterns in the distance, "There are people who have to wait for the fifth watch, what's the rush, they're all at the gate."

At night, the gates of the city are closed, and there is a curfew in the city, and people are not allowed to come and go without major incidents.Even if they go in, they don't want to knock on other people's doors in the middle of the night rashly.But seeing that the long night is already halfway through, it won't be long until the fifth watch.

"The last time I saw Eldest Sister was three years ago, and she got the news to go back to Ningyang." Jiang Shining murmured, "I can't remember the things after death, until I have this cardboard body. But I remember that she cried for a long time and whimpered so much that when I think about it now, I can still hear some..."

When the bell and drum of the fifth watch sounded, the gates of the city opened, and the people in the city woke up to work one after another in response, he would be able to see his eldest sister, see how she was doing well, and keep her closed for a long time. The souls of his parents have passed away.

He has lived for so many years, rarely leaves home, and has never experienced what it means to be "tired of being close to home".

But at this moment, by the side of the strange wild lake, looking at the gate of the county town that is a foreign land to him, as long as he thinks about waiting a little longer, all his obsessions will be over, and he will have nothing to worry about from now on, unexpectedly Feeling a little apprehensive...

when--

After a long time, the bell of the fifth watch finally came from layers of the city.

Everyone tidied up briefly and stood at the gate of the city.Hearing a "squeak", the ancient city gate was pulled open by the guards, and the scene inside the city was revealed to everyone along with a gust of wind with a strange smell.
