Yangyue

Henry Zhang was stunned for a moment, he said he was protecting him?

This is the third time, the third time Henry Zhang heard someone say this to him in his life.

The first time was his parents, the second time was his master, and the third time was Qi Zhu.

To his parents, he was the only child; to the master, he was the only disciple.But to Qi Zhu, what is he?

Qi Zhu hugged Xiao Yangyue and headed towards the misty village. The village was located near a stream, and the houses were well-organized, but they were very old and dilapidated. All the sights were desolate weeds, and it didn't look like it was inhabited.

The village was silent and there was no light. Qi Zhu casually walked into a farmhouse and kicked open the door.

With the moonlight shining through the dilapidated window sills, Qi Zhu could clearly see the scene inside the house. The furnishings in the house were very old, and most of them had been eaten by moths for many years. There were cracked sawdust all over the floor, and the air was full of musty smell.

Henry Zhang didn't like such a messy place, raised his cuffs and gently covered his mouth and nose, but he still said to Qi Zhu: "Put me down...you've been hugging me for a long time."

Qi Zhuxin knew that Henry Zhangyue was very strong, so he listened to his words and put him down temporarily. Henry Zhang tapped the ground with the scabbard lightly, and stood firm on the ground.

Unexpectedly, just as Qi Zhu let go, Henry Zhang suddenly felt his knees soften, and the bones of his legs seemed to lose strength, unable to support the weight of his body.He fell forward and stretched out his hand to support the wall. The veins on his arm were slightly open, and it took him a while to stabilize his body.

When Henry Zhang almost fell, Qi Zhu grabbed his arm, and after confirming that Henry Zhang was standing still, he said: "Is the leg injury so serious?"

Henry Zhang frowned, feeling uneasy in his heart. As Qi Zhu said before, although the wound was painful to him, it was not really serious. Now that the bleeding has stopped, the pain is not as unbearable as before. , it really shouldn't be like this.

Qi Zhu: "Is there any other discomfort?"

Henry Zhang shook his head.

"Just say if you feel uncomfortable." Qi Zhu looked at him and said, "If you really can't walk, just let me hold you. I won't think you are a burden."

"You can go." Henry Zhang looked a little uncomfortable, but she still answered with certainty, "I don't know what will happen after that, you'd better save your energy."

Qi Zhu sighed slightly, after all, Henry Zhang still didn't want to trouble him, that's all, Henry Zhang can do whatever he wants, he said he will protect him, and Henry Henry will not let anything happen.

Qi Zhu looked around the room. The room was not big, and he could walk to the end in a few steps. He bent down and looked under the dilapidated bed, and saw that there seemed to be a container-shaped object buried in the ashes. He took out Fan, hooked that thing out from under the bed.

Qi Zhu patted the dust on the folding fan indifferently, and wiped off all the dust on the thing. With the help of the moonlight, he could see the original appearance of the thing clearly.

The container is wide at the top and narrow at the bottom, one palm plus half a palm deep. It is a medicine cup for pounding medicine.

Qi Zhu frowned slightly, and gently placed the medicine cup on the side table. This medicine cup is not a rare thing in the homes of ordinary people in the village. Come herbal healing.

However, if it is placed in this Mustard Ridge...

At this time, in the dark night outside the window, some dim firefly lights suddenly flashed far away, Henry Zhang was startled, and reluctantly came to the door, seeing the fluorescent light drifting towards the forest, it was very painful. Soon to be lost again.

Henry Zhang anxiously said: "Qi Zhu!"

This time, Qi Zhu could also see clearly that what Henry Zhang said before was true. In the dark night, these fireflies floated up and down like ghosts, like falling stardust.

The two chased out from the house, a gust of cold wind mixed with the fishy smell of vegetation hit their faces, and the fireflies fluctuated from far to near, making it difficult to see the exact direction.

Henry Zhang was inconvenient to move, so Qi Zhu didn't chase too fast, the two jumped into the woods lightly, and after a while, the two saw a certain place in the forest from a distance suddenly more and more light spots, densely surrounded by a huge tree by the tree.

And the scene on the tree is really creepy.

That tree did not have lush leaves like the ordinary trees around it. Instead, there were countless spikes growing on the trunk and branches, and strings of half-rotted white bones were hung on those spikes. The spikes or Going out from the eye sockets of the pale skeletons, or penetrating through the ribs, they are like countless wheat grains hanging on the ears of rice. At a glance, there are at least forty or fifty of them.

What's even more frightening is that countless black maggots crawled out of the eye sockets and mouths of the uncold bones. They tangled up in groups, kept climbing and twisting, gnawing on the eyeballs or tongues and teeth of the corpses, issuing orders. There was a frightening rustling sound.

Not only that, the tail of the maggot exudes a faint white light, looking from a distance, it looks like a firefly, and the light spots that the two of them saw actually came from here!

Henry Zhang's heart was shocked, and he lost his voice: "This is..."

"It's a method of cultivating Gu that has been passed down from generation to generation in southern Xinjiang." Qi Zhu raised his head, staring at the dead bones calmly, "Some voodoo sects in southern Xinjiang regard the eyes and mouth as the most powerful parts of a person's body, so the witch doctor Or the Gu master will raise Gu worms in people's eyes or mouths, and the Gu worms cultivated in this way will exclusively feed on human eyes or lips and teeth. A person who has a Gu container is called a 'feeder'."

Henry Zhang stared at Qi Zhu closely, and said, "You knew about this a long time ago?"

Qi Zhu said slowly: "Indeed."

"Then why didn't you say it in the palace before!"

"This matter involves martial arts again. The emperor has already suspected that I have colluded with the rebellious party. I rushed to expose it. I am afraid it will have adverse effects. It is safest to know nothing."

Henry Zhang was speechless for a moment, and there was a bit of struggle in his eyes.

Qi Zhu looked up at the dead bones, and murmured: "These corpses haven't completely decomposed yet, I don't know where they are from, and how long they have been hung here...It's really shocking."

Xiao Yangyue just looked at him, but the uneasiness in his heart was like thick clouds above his head, layer upon layer, as thick and thick as ink, which made him unable to let go.

How many things does Qi Zhu know?

What is he...

Qi Zhu frowned suddenly: "It's strange, why can't I smell the rot..."

At this moment, a strange, cold fragrance like gardenia in the snow floated into Qi Zhu's nostrils, and he was startled suddenly, his eyes were intertwined with great horror and killing intent, he suddenly Turning her head back, she shouted at Henry Zhang: "You can't inhale this incense!"

As soon as Qi Zhu's words fell, dozens of black figures suddenly appeared from the dark bushes around them, surrounding the two of them like invisible will-o'-the-wisps. In an instant, there were swords and swords. Henry Zhang drew his sword in an instant and spun out in the darkness. A sword shadow.

Hot blood was sprinkled on Henry Zhang's forehead. He didn't know who it was, he only knew that these people wanted his life, so he would kill them all.

In the forest in the dark night, with blurred vision, Henry Zhang dodged the sword that was cutting towards him, his figure was like a light catkin, he seemed to kill much more impatiently than usual, the sword and sword cut out splashed blood, just want to hurry Go to Qi Zhu's side, Qi Zhu doesn't have a sword on his body, how can he deal with these enemies with bare hands!

Qi Zhu did not carry any weapons, except for his folding fan.

Henry Zhang could only hear Qi Zhu's folding fan unfold, with the help of internal force, the edge of the fan surface became like that sharp blade, with a swipe hard, blood could be seen sealing the throat.

After Qi Zhu killed a person with the edge of his fan, he grabbed that person's wrist and pointed to the handle of the knife in his hand. , killing three enemies with one move.

Seeing that Qi Zhu had seized the weapon, Henry Zhang felt a little relieved. He landed beside Qi Zhu with light work, and suddenly a sharp dull pain came from his brain, and his eyes also began to sting.

Henry Zhang's complexion turned pale, she stood the sword on the ground to stabilize her body, gritted her teeth to avoid the attacking enemies, but the scene in front of her became more and more unclear as if covered by a thick layer of fog, and her body began to become more and more blurred. hot.

It was then that he really smelled the cold fragrance that Qi Zhu said.

The smell rushed into the tip of his nose, penetrated into his mind, and crawled up his bone marrow like maggots, leaving an intensified burning pain in his body.

Henry Zhang suddenly felt that his knees were weak, the strength of his arms was gradually losing, and the bones of his whole body seemed to have no support.He entangled with the enemy more and more strenuously, and every movement almost exhausted all his strength.

Not long after, Henry Zhang's shoulders and arms were scratched several times, Qi Zhu saw that Henry Zhang's movements were obviously slowed down, swung a knife to block several attacks for him, and shouted: "Xiao Yangyue!"

Henry Zhang only felt a splitting headache, the scene in front of him was distorted severely, the strength of his limbs was passing away rapidly, and the sweat was flowing non-stop, he gritted his teeth and drank in a low voice: "You go first!"

The number of enemies did not decrease at all, Qi Zhu swiped away the enemies beside him again, pulled Henry Zhang into his arms, jumped up the treetops lightly, and quickly swept towards the top of the mountain.

Just holding Xiao Yangyue like this, Qi Zhu could feel that his whole body was very hot. The heat didn't seem to come from the skin surface, but it seemed to come from the inner bones.

Qi Zhu's eyes darkened, and he hugged Henry Zhang a little tighter.

At this time, a figure suddenly appeared on the top of a big tree in the distance, blocking the way of the two of them. He had a white beard and fluttering clothes, and it was Geng Chong who said.The enemies behind them caught up after a while, landed in the surrounding woods, and surrounded the two of them.

Qi Zhu stared at him coldly, he slowly squatted down and put Henry Zhang on the ground.Henry Zhang gasped for breath, he saw Geng Chongdao and the surrounding enemies, stretching out his hand to hold the sword hilt tightly, struggling to get up from the ground.

Qi Zhu held him down, raised his head and asked Geng Chongdao: "Doctor Geng, I don't know what enmity you have with me, and you framed me like this?"

Geng Chongdao sneered: "Master Hou, it's time to die, so don't talk so much."

Qi Zhu was slightly taken aback, but his expression gradually became clearer. He raised his head and laughed twice, and said loudly: "Do you think you can kill me? So that's the case. It seems that you are just a chess piece to him." , He never even told you who I am, yet you still work hard for him, it's really ridiculous!"

Geng Chongdao's complexion changed slightly, and he shouted loudly: "Kill them!"

The surrounding enemies came towards the two of them, Qi Zhu dropped the long knife he had just seized in his hand, and then picked up Henry Zhang's sword. Ordinary swords may not be able to withstand the internal force contained in his tricks. Henry Zhang's sword Maybe give it a try.

Even though his current martial arts is less than half of what it was back then, the enemies in front of him are nothing more than ants.
