Although Chao Lian wished he could bury his brothers’ corpses right now, his body did not allow it. Even with the help of Fourth Uncle Lin, it was difficult for him to do so. Facing Chao Lian’s gaze, Fourth Uncle Lin said with a slight annoyance: “There is a literary scholar.
It would be great if the Heart Scribe could help you!"
You actually dislike it?
Isn't it true that any literary scholar can kill everyone?
Chao Lian knew that Fourth Uncle Lin had misunderstood, and hurriedly explained that he did not dislike it. In fact, he was satisfied to meet Fourth Uncle Lin in this situation. After hearing this, Fourth Uncle Lin softened his expression. He thought for a moment,
Transformed into a blue bird to send a message.
He even made a special trip to explain it to Chao Lian so that he wouldn't have to think too much.
"Write a letter to Shaobai and ask him if the things can be moved."
Chao Lian didn't know who this "Shao Bai" was yet, so he didn't take it to heart. After a while, Fourth Uncle Lin received a reply.
He turned around and took out a golden bronze tripod.
Holding back his disgust, he used his kuai to pick out a fat, white, soft insect, and handed it to Chao Lian's mouth: "I know you are filial and don't want to be contaminated with meat. But this thing was raised by Shao Bai.
, it is a vegetarian, and eating it can strengthen the foundation and nourish the body."
Of course, this is what the master and disciple said.
Uncle Lin didn't know what the specific effect was.
Chao Lian pursed his lips and refused to open them.
Fourth Uncle Lin impatiently urged: "What are you still doing? If you keep mumbling, the bodies will either rot to death or be buried in the pit by Shao Bai. Are you so particular at this time?"
Chao Lian was doubtful, frowned and ate the worm.
He thought he had to endure his nausea, but as soon as the writhing bug entered his mouth, it turned into a warm current, flowing down his tongue and throat into his limbs, bones and meridians. An unprecedented clear and life breath traveled through the meridians, suppressing the internal injury zone.
The pain comes.
He couldn't help but ask: "What is this?"
Fourth Uncle Lin said: "The Gu insects raised by Shao Bai."
Chao Lian's face suddenly changed: "Gu insect?"
Because of Shaochong's experience, the brothers hated the word "gu worm" with all their heart. However, Fourth Uncle Lin was his savior and he was not prone to attacks, so he had to endure it forcefully.
Chao Lian couldn't help but make insinuating remarks: "The art of witchcraft is rare. I wonder where this Mr. Shaobai comes from?"
Fourth Uncle Lin said: "Shaobai said you have met before."
Now it was Chao Lian's turn to be surprised: "Have you met?"
He recalled carefully and couldn't remember that one of the people he knew was named "Shao Bai", who was also a master of witchcraft.
Because Chao Lian Chongxiao could not eat meat, but as a wounded soldier he had to eat, Fourth Uncle Lin had to take out other dry food and put it in a clay pot to heat and soak until soft. While he was busy, he said: "More than half a year ago, at the Shangnan County Office, you brothers
Didn't we meet a young man carrying a wooden stick and have a brief conflict?"
Chao Lian's eyes opened wider and wider: "Yes, is that person?"
Fourth Uncle Lin said: "Well, he is Shaobai."
Gongxi clan, Jimo clan, named Qiu, courtesy name Shaobai.
Chao Lian blurted out: "This Mr. Shaobai is the high priest of this generation of the Gongxi tribe? Gongxi Qiu's nephew?"
Before Fourth Uncle Lin could say anything, an old man slowly walked out of the depths of the cave and asked, "What kind of nephew is Gong Xi?"
Chao Lian's heart was racing at this moment.
Joy and sadness intertwined into complex feelings in his heart, and tears rolled down his face: [Brothers, have you seen it? The high priest of the Gongxi tribe is here, and Thirteen is completely saved!]
The old man slowly walked out of the shadows, looking very old.
The old voice asked again: "Who is Gong Xiqiu's nephew?"
Chao Lian woke up from his emotions and told the details of Gongxi Qiu's visit after the conflict between Shaobai and Shisan.
The old man listened silently and did not express his position.
After a long while, he asked: "Do you have any evidence?"
"Gong Xiqiu and Mr. Shaobai look very similar."
Anyone who is not blind will say that the two are related by blood. The difference lies in their age and temperament. Gong Xiqiu is older and naturally much more mature. He has been on the battlefield all year round, with countless lives on his hands, and there is sharpness and blood in his eyebrows, as if A rose of thorns that draws blood and blooms; the boy is a young man who has never experienced anything in the world. Although his appearance is somewhat seductive and gorgeous, he cannot resist his ignorance, clarity and cleanness, more like a flower carefully cultivated and raised in a greenhouse. Snow peony......
The old man lowered his eyes and recalled the ever-burning lanterns of his clan.
There is indeed a lamp with the name "Gong Xiqiu" engraved inside.
but--
"I have heard a little bit about Gong Xiqiu, but Shaobai can't be his nephew. You must have made a mistake." Outsiders don't know Shaobai's details, but how could the old man not know, "My age is completely right, right?" superior……"
Although Shaobai is not very old, if you include the years when his body has stopped in time, he is enough to be Gong Xiqiu's elder brother.
"Similar looks don't mean anything. The Gongxi clan has been hidden in the world for many years and lives in a closed environment. The appearance of the clan members is more or less similar." Those who are ugly are more likely to have strange looks, while those who have a straight and handsome appearance have more approachable features.
Chao Lian was surprised: "Then why do they look so similar?"
The old man said indifferently: "Is it possible that she prefers this type of god worshiped by the Gongxi people?"
The successive high priests of the Gongxi tribe all have similar looks, but the old man and the next high priest after him are not closely related by blood.
Chao Lian: "..."
Fourth Uncle Lin: "...Does that god still care about his face?"
Gee, it sounds more like an evil god.
The old man asked back: "The secular royal court doesn't look at face when selecting talents? Not only looks, but also family background and bloodline."
In this regard, the gods are not so strict.
"All in all, Shao Bai cannot be Gong Xiqiu's nephew, but they are both members of the same clan. If there is a chance, we can meet each other." After all, it is impossible for him to accompany Shao Bai for his whole life. "You can rest in peace and recuperate. No need. Think more."
After half an hour, Chao Lian had recovered a lot.
Although he cannot use force, walking normally is not a problem.
He also met Shaobai. The boy was a little more mature than the last time they met. One of them burst into tears without holding back. Shaobaimu was so frightened that he froze in place and did not dare to move. When he heard that Chao Lian came here to collect the bones of his brother,
, he recovered.
"It's not easy to find-"
He was carrying a shovel, and a big hole had been dug behind him.
Shao Bai was kind-hearted and took the initiative to help him find someone. He moved one out for Chao Lian to identify, and if it was not the target, he put it in the pit and set it up.
Most of these corpses were mutilated. Even if they had been protected with words and spirits to delay their decay, the air was still filled with a disgusting smell. Chao Lian seemed to be unable to smell it, repeating the mechanical movements over and over again. Finally, Huang Tian couldn't help but
The hard-working man, when he saw the hem of someone's clothes, there was a buzz in his head, and he knelt on the ground and cried unnaturally.
Shaobai looked at Chao Lian who was about to faint. Not only was he not very smart, he was also very slow to respond to emotions. He didn't quite understand why Chao Lian was like this. He only knew that the person lying on the ground was
, very important to Chao Lian.
He had also seen this scene with Fourth Uncle Lin. At that time, Fourth Uncle Lin had just escaped from danger. When he woke up for the first time, he cried so hard that his whole body convulsed, and his wounds even burst. He didn't eat or drink for several days, which was the same as now.
Fourth Uncle Lin is completely different...
Shaobai once asked his teacher why Fourth Uncle Lin reacted like this. He obviously saved his life, shouldn't he be happy?
The teacher looked calmly and said: [It is natural for a blood relative to die in vain. Ayan, one day, you will understand. 】
Shaobai shook his head: [Ayan, don’t feel so uncomfortable.]
Although he could not empathize with his feelings, Shaobai was considerate and did not disturb him. After Chao Lian collected his emotions, he continued to identify.
Before Brother Six woke up, several brothers were found.
Chao Lian used unskilled techniques to sew their severed limbs back together, borrowed clean clothes from Fourth Uncle Lin, and chose a relatively high location in the mountain to bury them. The tombstone faced the northwest, looking thousands of miles away.
Homeland outside.
As a literary scholar, Lao Liu's physique and recovery ability were not as strong as Chao Lian's. When he woke up, Chao Lian's internal injuries had healed by 30%, and his Dan Mansion's martial energy had also accumulated a little. It was no problem to deal with ordinary ferocious beasts in the mountains. Of course,
Not for food, but for their hides. The three brothers are now penniless and unfamiliar with the place, so they must make some money and save for travel expenses.
"Brother Six, are you awake?"
Chao Lian was ecstatic when he saw Lao Liu moving.
Lao Liu's reaction was no better than Chao Lian's.
When he learned that he was not dead, the bones of his brothers were carefully arranged, and a man in his thirties hugged Chao Lian and cried bitterly. His desire to die was also dispelled by Chao Lian's persuasion and the still unconscious Shao Chong, but
He seemed more taciturn.
"Brother Six, my sister-in-law and my nieces and nephews are still waiting for us." It's hard for orphans and widowed mothers to survive in this world. Even if the forces that take over Shangnan County are willing to treat them well and use this to show off to the outside world and gain a good reputation, they are still not as good as
When my eldest brother was alive.
After hearing this, Lao Liu worked hard to eat and practice.
What the brothers are most worried about is not rushing.
As a result, three days, five days, ten days, half a month... except that the breath gradually returned to peace, there was no sign of awakening.
The two of them were completely panicked.
Lao Liu's medical skills didn't work, so he had no choice but to seek help from Shao Bai.
Shaobai and the old man took turns to show it to others, and the old man frowned and said: "His meridians were basically restored to their original state after Shaobai's Gu worms repaired them. There are no strange phenomena in the Dan Mansion. Logically speaking, he should have woken up long ago. You guys are
Isn’t there something else to hide?”
The two of them thought about it and couldn't figure out what they missed.
Until Chao Lian thought of a detail.
"...I remembered that in front of the graves of Third Brother and the others, Shisan looked strange, as if he had changed into a different person...It was just that the situation was critical at that time, and I couldn't care about it for the moment."
The old man pondered for a while and roughly guessed the reason.
"If my guess is correct, he may never wake up again."
As soon as these words came out, the two of them almost lost their legs.
"Can't you... wake up again?"
The old man said calmly: "Even if he wakes up, he is just a vicious beast that brings trouble to the world. He kills everyone on sight, including you two."
Lao Liu took a deep breath to calm down and asked, "Why is this happening? Is it because the seal was broken and the poison in the body was released?"
Old man: "It's more serious than this, it's evil thoughts."
Shaobai wondered: "What are evil thoughts?"
The old man patiently explained to him: "The courageous warrior has reached the peak of fifteenth level. If he wants to break through the bottleneck, he needs to kill his evil thoughts. Rather than killing, it is better to control the murderous nature in his heart.
Be firm in your own way. Heaven and earth are unkind and regard all things as stupid dogs. This means that in the eyes of heaven and earth, all living things are the same, and brave warriors who have cultivated to this level obviously have the ability to do evil. If not
Overcoming the shortcomings of one's mind and relying on one's abilities to act arbitrarily is something that cannot be tolerated by heaven and earth."
"So, heaven and earth sent down this dangerous test."
"Beheading evil thoughts is the process of asking questions."
"Obviously, this kid has not been able to break through this level."
Shaobai asked softly: "What will happen?"
The old man said: "It will become a disaster."
After saying that, he looked at Chao and Lian: "Behead him!"
As soon as these two words were spoken, Chao Lian and Lao Liu blocked the old man with pale faces, fearing what the old man would do to Thirteen.
The old man sneered: "Keep him and wait for him to kill you?"
Chao Lian said: "Kill him, kill us first!"
The fact that their brothers were able to survive the crack in the sky until Shaobai and the others all depended on Thirteen to protect each other. It was Thirteen who gave up on his opponent at the critical moment and tried his best to block the thunder disaster for them. Such Thirteen, this
So what if I give away my life?
The old man sneered.
"I won't shed tears until I see the coffin."
In this case, it is better to let them give up completely.
He asked Shaobai to use special means to wake up Shao Chong.
Who knows, the situation will develop differently than he expected.
Shao Chong indeed unleashed his ferocity, like a wild beast, showing terrifying aggression, but when he heard the voices of Chao Lian and the others, his cloudy and scarlet eyes showed some waves. He hugged Lao Liu and buried his head aggrievedly in the
He nuzzled her gently in his arms, and moaned like a beast from his mouth. The old man clicked his tongue in amazement.
Lao Liu begged him in a low voice: "Thirteen is clearly still under control, but he will not become an out-of-control scourge. Please help me."
The old man in front of me is full of unfathomable mystery. He is helpless, but the other party may have some solution.
The old man sighed and said, "I'll think about it again."
Lao Liu hurriedly said: "Thank you!"
More than half a month later, Chao Lian's injuries had basically recovered. He was ready to go back to settle Gu Ren's legacy, but Lao Liu couldn't get away because of Shao Chong. In Shao Chong's situation, one of their brothers must stay to take care of him and accompany him.
Rush less and recover slowly.
"I will come back after making sure my sister-in-law and the others are safe."
"This journey is dangerous, so be careful."
Fourth Uncle Lin lent Chao Lian some money and said, "If there is a chance, could you please help me go to a place?"
"Of course you can."
Fourth Uncle Lin wanted Chao Lian to help him return to his ancestral home to have a look.
Back then, he escorted his daughter Juan to escape south, and went south to seek refuge with his brother who had moved earlier. He encountered a disaster along the way, and he was the only one who survived. Coupled with the frequent wars in the northwest continent, he and his brother also completely lost contact. Lin
The fourth uncle had some luck in his heart - if the eldest brother and the others still couldn't wait for them, they might send someone to leave a message at the ancestral home in Lingzhou.
If there is no news, it is fate.
In times of war and chaos, I have long been accustomed to disappointment.
Chao Lian wrote down the news that Fourth Uncle Lin said one by one, and also asked him for an item as a token of recognition.
When Chao Lian came down the mountain, he couldn't see Lao Liu and the others, so he turned around and glanced at the mountain peak where his brothers rested.
【One day, my brother will take you home.】
【Returning to my hometown, fallen leaves return to their roots.】
