Under the empty night, the piercing sound of gunshots was heard endlessly. The horse in the stable did not know whether he was frightened by the sudden gunshots or smelled the strong smell of blood in the air. He neighed uneasily and began to get anxious.
hit the horse fence.
The low, hoarse roar revealed the anger and impatience in its owner's heart.
His bloody mouth opened and closed, and the stable in front of him was instantly crushed into pieces.
Even a horse in the stable was torn apart from its waist.
Facing the monster that was already going berserk in front of him, Xu Tong looked indifferent, fired, reloaded, and continued shooting.
Seeing that the thing was getting closer and closer to him, Xu Tong suddenly took out something from the prop book, pulled the tab on it, and threw it into the monster's mouth.
The monster didn't recognize the thing, so he swallowed it in one gulp. He looked at the round thing that fell to his hand, and rolled his eyes. The woman took it in her hand, looked at it in confusion, and then looked at Xu Tong.
.
I saw Xu Tong grinning at him and waving his hand: "Bye!"
After saying that, he turned around.
"boom!"
The hot shock wave blew Xu Tong's hair flying, followed by large pieces of minced meat, which fell from the air like a rain of blood.
But Xu Tong just opened his hand, a black umbrella was already on top of his head, looking at the broken meat at his feet, he curled his lips: "Monster? Nothing more than that..."
"boom!"
At this time, someone didn't know what hit the umbrella, and it rolled down along the umbrella. Xu Tong quickly grabbed the thing in his hand.
It was a dark green bead, which looked neither big nor small, about the same as a baby's fist.
At first, Xu Tong thought it was an eyeball, but when he took a closer look, he found that the texture of this thing was like jade. He threw it into the prop book, and it turned out that the prop book was full of question marks.
Obviously this thing needs to be appraised for use. Da Ya and the other three were hiding in the entrance of the hall and watching. They only heard Ji Xiang say: "Master, this thing seems to be delicious."
Apparently since they tasted the delicious elixir last time, they have become familiar with its taste. They thought that if this thing survived the explosion intact, it might be the inner elixir of the monster.
Xu Tong glanced at the three of them angrily: "I don't do anything all day long, so I just eat and wait."
Although Xu Tong was a little tempted in his heart and wanted to try whether his precious fairy furnace could process this thing, but it was not the right time right now and he could only wait until he could survive the situation first.
When Xu Tong hurried to the front yard, he saw that Li Xi was already covered in blood, holding a shining golden stick in his hand, and beat the doll-like monster in front of him to pieces in three or two strokes.
Strange to say, the stick looked shiny and golden. Once it hit these little monsters, golden sparks immediately ignited. As soon as they were illuminated by the light of the sparks, these things immediately stopped moving, allowing Li Xi to attack them.
His skull was shattered.
However, Li Xi was fighting alone after all, and was injured again. Although he solved all these little things after many setbacks, he was very tired, and fell to the ground with a pale face, looking at Xu Tong with despair.
Xu Tong hurriedly walked over and first looked at the door behind Li Xi. Although Yang Gongjing was hiding behind the door, he could see through the Mingyan Qimen that the aura fluctuations on Yang Gongjing's body were normal, and he couldn't help but feel
He breathed a sigh of relief.
Looking at Li Xi again, he frowned again.
He stepped forward and carefully inspected Li Xi's wound: "No need to look, my injury is too serious. Mr. Ma, since you said I am like your friend, can you do me a favor?"
Li Xi knew in his heart that his injuries were so serious that even the palace doctor would not be able to help. He did not expect that after hiding in Tibet for so many years, he would eventually die in this barren mountain.
Xu Tong hummed softly, and tore open Li Xi's clothes casually. Looking at the large tear on his lower back, he unhurriedly took out a first aid kit from the prop book that had been gathering dust for a long time.
This first aid kit was obtained from the nine-person book. Xu Tong has never used it, but it just came in handy today. There are temporary hemostatic drugs in the box, as well as professional medical equipment. In his hands, this first aid box is simply
Pediatrics.
Li Xi didn't know what Xu Tong was doing, he just felt something pricked him, and his whole body felt numb immediately, and the wound was not so painful anymore.
"Perhaps this is the feeling of death." Li Xi thought that this was not bad, and it would not hurt so much when he died. He raised his head and looked at the starry sky above his head, and began to talk to himself.
"I have no other ideas. Please help me bury it under a peach tree, preferably a peach sapling that is about one or two years old."
"Why?"
Xu Tong skillfully picked up the scissors and began to cut open Li Xi's clothes and carefully cleaned his wounds. The whole process was concise and neat, without any sloppiness.
Cleaning, stopping bleeding, applying medicine, and suturing, the whole process is incredibly fast. Oh, there are no suturing tools in the first aid kit, but something like a stapler. This thing is called a skin stapler. It is actually more suitable for small wounds, but for the time being
It can still be used for a while.
Li Xi didn't realize that the bleeding from his wound had stopped, and his mind was still thinking wildly. He thought of the man who brought him to Maoshan Sect.
It started to rain, so he stood behind him and held up an umbrella for himself. When it got cold, he put the only cotton robe he had on himself.
When he raised his head, he could always see that gentle face, as warm and kind as a loving father. Every time he thought of it, it made him feel warm in his heart.
As he thought about it, the corners of Li Xi's eyes couldn't stop getting wet: "I once heard people say that if a person commits evil in this life, he will always pay it back in the next life. I wonder if he will encounter that person by chance in a few years.
A peach tree, just pick a peach to quench your thirst..."
Li Xi actually had a second part to what he said, but he didn't say it out loud.
At this time, Xu Tong tilted his head and looked back at him: "Don't be stupid, you're lying. Lord Hell doesn't have the time to listen to your story."
As he spoke, Xu Tong put morphine on Li Xi's thigh and clapped his hands: "It's done!"
“What happened??”
Li Xi looked at Xu Tong blankly, and saw Xu Tong pointing at his wound: "The conditions are limited, just treat it briefly, just be careful and don't let the wound collapse."
"ah???"
Li Xi was startled when he heard this. He pushed himself up and took a closer look. Sure enough, the wounds on his body were actually sewn up. He couldn't help but be shocked: "You know how to heal?"
"Won't!"
Xu Tong decisively shook his head in denial, pointed to the box next to him and said: "I was wandering around the foreign area before, and the foreigners were selling things that were said to be fool's medical boxes, which means boxes that can save even a fool's life. I gave them to him if I thought they were fun.
I bought it, it's not expensive, eight hundred taels of silver."
Li Xi lost consciousness for a while after hearing this. He didn't know whether he was thinking that his miserable life might not even be worth 800 taels, or that there were such magical treasures among foreigners.
After a while, Li Xi finally seemed to realize that he had narrowly escaped death. He suddenly felt mixed feelings in his heart and glanced at the box: "Such a strange thing, Master, bring it to save me..."
Li Xi said in his heart that he was not moved. He was lying. He knew that with his current status, eight hundred taels were worthless, let alone eight hundred taels. There were so many young eunuchs in the Forbidden City that they would all be buried in a hurry when they died. No one knew.
"Hey, we brothers hit it off as soon as we met. Why are you so pretentious? If it's just a plaything, what's the big deal."
"That's a good point. We have a vast land and abundant resources, and there are countless divine objects. Why should we admire Western playthings?"
I don't know when Yang Gongjing walked out of the door. It was obvious that she had heard what Xu Tong said just now, and she was not suspicious. After all, there were too many messy heresies in the West, and he had no intention of paying attention to them.
Yang Gongjing didn't even look at Li Xi, and casually picked up the golden stick in Li Xi's hand. She said with a slightly aching expression, "It's a pity that after using this [鎏沙], it will be gone in two hours."
It has lost its medicinal properties, oh, what a pity."
After saying that, he threw the stick aside and asked Xu Tong what happened behind the explosion.
Xu Tong still blamed the foreigners for the problem, saying that it was a gadget invented by foreigners. He gave it a try, and who would have thought that it would work wonders.
Yang Gongjing's face suddenly became unhappy: "They are all some weird tricks, heresy, and methods that cannot be put on the table. Use them as little as possible in the future."
Xu Tong was stunned for a moment when he heard this, thinking that this old guy had an outbreak of dementia, right?
But his mind was so sharp, thinking that if you said that, I would be rude. His face immediately turned serious, and he said with a slightly unhappy look: "Master Yang has powerful means, but I can't do anything in literature or martial arts.
Relying on these strange and obscene skills, I'm afraid... I would have died a long time ago."
His voice became softer and softer as he spoke, and the lingering resentment in his words was like silver needles, stimulating Yang Gongjing's nerves, but what Ma Hongwen said was not unreasonable.
After thinking for a moment, Yang Gongjing raised his eyebrows and glanced at the rotten meat on the ground: "Humph, that's just a lack of knowledge. This thing is called 'Sange'. It was originally caused by the resentment of pregnant women who died of dystocia, and then they drank it by chance.
Some kind of Yin treasure has become what you see now. To deal with this thing, you only need to soak it in boy's urine to severely damage its vitality."
Xu Tong rolled his eyes inwardly: "You are talking as if you are a boy, bah, shameless."
Seeing Xu Tong's suddenly enlightened look, Yang Gongjing grinned and said: "Well, speaking of it, you are also a student of my good friend. Since you are following me on errands, I won't treat you badly. From now on, you can stay with me whenever you have time."
I'll teach you some self-defense skills so that you won't be as ignorant as those new schools of thought."
This is what Xu Tong was waiting for. When he heard this, he was immediately overjoyed and nodded repeatedly to express his willingness. Li Xi looked at it and said in his heart that he was not envious. It was a lie. Yang Gongjing was the deputy supervisor of Qintian Prison. Although his ability was a bit poor, he could
But he is also famous for his profound knowledge, and even if he wants to become a disciple, he doesn't have the qualifications.
He didn't expect Ma Hongwen, a dandy... Hey, no, Li Xi suddenly thought of this master's methods just now. He couldn't help but take a deep breath. After changing his mentality, he suddenly felt that Mr. Ma was brave and resourceful, and it was not a bad idea.
A good backer.
"Sir, now that Foreman Zhou and the others are dead, our mission..."
Xu Tong looked at the corpses on the ground and looked at Yang Gongjing. Yang Gongjing sighed and took out a bamboo tube from her sleeve: "I didn't want to use it so soon, but now it seems that I have to use it."
.”
After saying that, Yang Gongjing twisted the mechanism under the bamboo tube.
With a sound of "Whoosh!", an arrow flew into the air and exploded overhead.
