Chapter 49 Don't cry, there will be a second week [Seeking follow-up reading]
It was cold and windy at the end of the year. In a few cottages outside the town, an old man as skinny as a mink put on a straw raincoat and hat and prepared to go out.
"Old Zhang, what are you doing pulling the cart out so late at night?"
"Well, it looks like it's going to rain for several days straight. The tea stall has no business. I can't stay here and waste my money. Goodbye, everyone."
"..."
After leaving the courtyard, there was no one around. Cang Liangye pulled the cart slowly out until he reached a ridge of a field two miles outside the town. He turned around and unloaded the water cloth and tea stove from the cart, and finally took out an exaggeratedly large bow and a long box.
The bow was nearly seven feet long. No one who saw it would think it was a weapon for humans, because no matter how strong you were, you could not pull it to its full length due to the limitation of your arm span. Compared to the one next to the shivering old man, it was undoubtedly more suitable to be placed on the top of the city wall.
Click.
He opened the long box and found a long copper pestle in addition to the six 'javelins'. Cang Liangye took out the copper pestle and pounded it into the ground, then placed the big bow across it and propped up the pestle with one foot.
giggle-
There was a teeth-grinding sound, as if a steel cable had been stretched to its limit.
one cent,
Two points,
Three points.
A body full of strength can only stretch a third of the string.
Cang Liangye nodded, then slowly released the bowstring, and after it was restored to its original position, he took out three 'javelins' and placed them on the string. This time he pulled the bowstring again, and in the process of exerting force, green scales gradually grew on his arms, and the flesh and skin on his finger bones became thicker and stronger, with a tendency to evolve into a non-human creature.
吱,
吱,
Click,
Click,
Boom.
After the third part, the sound of the bow string changes every time it is pulled a little, and by the eighth part it even gives people a frightening feeling that the string is about to break.
Only then did Cang Liangye finally stop.
Eight points is just right.
What followed was a long wait, during which Cang Liangye’s brows were raised from time to time, as if he had seen something or someone he didn’t like.
After a while, he moved his fingertips slightly, shifting the two 'javelins' slightly.
After a while.
Boom! !
There was a loud thunder explosion, but before the thunder exploded, Cang Liangye had already loosened his fingers, and the two-meter rain curtain around him was instantly shaken into water mist, and the two "thunders" in the sky and on the earth merged miraculously.
The thunder faded away and the haze finally dissipated.
Before the results from the other side came back, Cang Liangye had already packed up his things.
What is 'Wukui'?
What is the 'martial arts intention'?
To put it bluntly, once the three arrows were shot, he didn't know whether the person would die or not, but he was sure to hit the target.
Since he won, no matter what the other side thinks, the account in his heart is settled.
The only thing that went against the plan was that two of the three arrows originally intended for Wei Mingqi were given to others, and the reason was not anything else.
Cang Liangye couldn't bear to see someone being so arrogant.
.........
puff!
puff!
There was no sound, no person, no arrow, and the body felt like it was hit twice by something invisible. When I looked down, I could only see blood flowing from the eerie cave entrance.
'Gong Kui' Cang Liangye——
Jin Liancheng gritted his teeth and looked up at Wei Mingqi's condition, only to see that the latter's mortal body was even more miserable, with half of his waist and abdomen blown apart and his internal organs flowing out.
You have to go.
In order to prevent Cang Liangye from attacking again, Jin Liancheng exerted force to make the pierced chest and abdominal muscles wriggle, and the tense muscles barely suppressed the blood loss. Then he stepped onto the roof.
It was probably impossible to go outside the city at this time, and the city was the territory of the Western Mansion's 'Chao Tianshu'. Jin Liancheng, who was seriously injured and had the Dragon Yuan in his arms, had few choices. He turned his eyes and made a decision quickly.
tread--
tread--
A woman in a green dress hurriedly jumped over many eaves and rushed to the front court. As she got closer, the eerie silence in the front court made Xie Beiling's already restless heart even more uneasy.
tread!
A pool of dark red came into view in the dim mud, and Xie Beiling, who was known for his agility, almost fell off the eaves due to his unstable posture.
Come closer with quiet steps.
Reaching in front of him, Xie Beiling slowly bent down, her slender almond-shaped eyes reflecting the young man's figure. He lay on his back in the mud, staring at the night sky with his eyes half open, letting the rain wash over his broken body.
"Mingqi..."
Xie Beiling gently reached out her hand to touch his cheek, but it was cold. Her heart gradually sank, sank -
“…Master.”
Suddenly, the boy blinked his eyes, and the tears in his eyes flowed down. His pale lips moved slightly:
"Don't cry, there will be a second round."
"..."
She doesn't understand, she really doesn't understand.
Xie Beiling pursed her lips tightly and suppressed her nasal cavity, so that her voice sounded a little cold and hard: "Master, Master didn't cry."
There was silence for a moment, and then a cold finger hooked around her fingertips.
"hot."
"..."
The thread that Xie Beiling had been keeping taut suddenly broke, his cold face twitched a few times awkwardly, and big drops of warmth fell on his face.
"Are you feeling cold——"
She clasped one hand behind her back and touched Wei Mingqi's face with the other, choking with sobs but speaking very gently:
"Master knows that you are most afraid of the cold. Can Master take you home?"
"..."
Wei Mingqi could no longer speak.
No matter how strong his will to survive was, his heartbeat in his chest had stopped. Compared to five years ago, he had more regrets this time.
Just now he wanted to open his mouth and express his feelings briefly.
But we are all going to die, so what's the point of leaving unnecessary regrets for the living? A man should die with dignity even if he dies.
It’s a pity that the sky doesn’t give us good times. Just after the setting sun, it starts to rain coldly.
The footsteps moved forward slowly.
Xie Beiling turned a deaf ear to it and just stared blankly at the child in front of her who was being "mistreated" by the whole world and whom she had no ability to protect.
If you think about it carefully, how can she be a qualified master? Her words have no weight at all. People in the martial arts world don't give her face and beat or kill her apprentice at will.
What day is it?
What is the Sword of Stopping War——
As I moved closer, a weak female voice came over:
"Please move aside."
"..."
"I can save him."
Xie Beiling, with red eyes, suddenly looked up, his expression grim and a little scary.
The person who came didn't even look at her. He pushed her away, held Wei Mingqi's face, and then pressed his lips against hers.
Xie Beiling frowned subconsciously.
But soon, a scene that reversed her cognition occurred. Wei Mingqi, whose pulse had stopped and who was about to die, began to move in his chest again. Countless granulations appeared along the edges of the huge wound in his waist and abdomen. As his body moved, the organs that had been connected to his body were slowly dragged back, and even the originally exhausted blood and qi gradually filled his veins again.
'Life and Death'
'Living Bones'
As these two words emerged in Xie Beiling's mind, he felt his heart pounding again.
Not long after.
Shi Fengguan, whose face was becoming increasingly pale, sucked a little bit of food into Wei Mingqi's mouth, then turned over and said to her breathlessly:
"The phoenix blood is connected to my life. This is the only thing I can do. Wait and see if he wakes up. If that doesn't work, kill me and give him my phoenix blood."
After saying this, Shi Fengguan closed his eyes weakly:
"The surname is Wei."
"I've been kind enough for once..."
This is the third update.
