Chapter 282 Qingden and Sanakos farewell kiss [Leopard update 1W]
Qingdeng heard this and stretched out his hand to caress his forehead.
Because he had just woken up, Qingdeng's brain was still in a state of chaos, and he was somewhat confused about the situation.
However, this is only a matter of time.
After a while, memories came back like a rising tide.
Melee, duel, defeat, escape...pictures flashed quickly before Qingdeng's eyes.
Finally, the scene freezes on the last scene seen before consciousness was disconnected, that is, Sanako's pretty face full of nervousness.
——Did I faint?
After his memory was completely restored, Qingdeng reached out to touch his forehead again.
There is still some pain in my head...but it is undoubtedly much better than before the coma.
Undoubtedly, this is the result of the talent "Physique +2".
The existence of this talent allows Qingden to recover from injuries far faster than ordinary people.
Aomori whispered to Yae who was concerned about his physical condition:
"Well...I feel better..."
"That's good."
Yae let out a sigh of relief.
"When we moved you back to Yuegong Shrine, Master Yu Du hired an old doctor who was good at treating internal injuries as quickly as possible."
"The old doctor said that there is nothing serious about you. You only need to take medicine every day and rest for a period of time to recover as before."
"Ah! Since you're awake, take the medicine first!"
"Because you have been sleeping just now, we have nowhere to start giving you medicine."
Saying that, Yae stretched out his hand and handed Qingden a bottle of medicine.
"Take the pills in this bottle three times a day, four at a time."
"It is said that this is the old doctor's unique secret medicine."
"Not only is it miraculous in treating internal injuries in the body, but it also has a certain analgesic effect."
Qingdeng thanked him and took the medicine jar - but he was not in a hurry to take the medicine.
He turned his head and looked at the commander-in-chief who was still sleeping soundly next to him.
"Where is Okita-kun? How is her injury?"
"Okita-kun is fine."
Yae answered.
"Her injury is not serious, and she can recover as long as she takes medicine on time and rests for a while."
"Really...that's good..."
Hearing this, Qingdeng finally felt relieved.
"Junior, take your medicine quickly."
Yae urged.
"After taking the medicine, just sleep for a while. You need a lot of rest now."
Qingden looked at Yae, then at the medicine bottle in his hand.
"...This matter is not urgent. Compared with taking medicine and resting, I have more important things that I urgently need to confirm with you two."
As he spoke, he raised his gaze and cast his gaze out of the car window.
All I could see outside the car was the vivid natural scenery.
The carriage drove on a country path with several deep ruts.
On one side is an open wilderness, at the end are woods, and the woods stretch to the sky.
On the other side are dense bushes, covered with rocky hills, and the towering Mount Fuji can be seen vaguely in the distance.
The town of Edo, which was enveloped in silence by night, was left far behind and drifted further and further away.
"Saege, Yae, where is this place? Where are we going? Where are Mr. Ebina and his companions?"
"This is the southern suburbs of Edo. As for Ebina and others, they parted ways with us not long after you passed out. They should be hiding in an inconspicuous corner somewhere, healing their wounds while thinking about their next actions. Make a plan."
Sha Zhong, who had been silent just now, replied quickly.
"The southern suburbs of Edo? What are we doing here?"
"Take you out of Edo."
"……What's the meaning?"
"That's what it means literally."
"Okay, sister, just concentrate on driving. I'll explain it to the younger generation."
Yae took over the conversation.
"Junior, this is Lady Yu Du's idea. She ordered my sister and I to take you three out of Edo and go to Yokohama."
"Yokohama?"
Qingden showed a dumbfounded expression.
"Why go to Yokohama?"
"What else could be the reason..."
Yae sighed.
"Of course it is to give you a comfortable healing environment and to protect you."
"..."
As soon as he said this, Qingdeng immediately understood something, and the look on his face couldn't help but become heavy.
Yae continued the words silently.
"That Rakshasa has already set his sights on you."
"It's not difficult to imagine that he will spare no effort to hunt you down. God knows what actions he will take next."
"You are injured now, and you are weak."
"You were no match for him in your heyday, let alone your injured state."
"Although I may offend you by saying this...but it is true."
"It would be too dangerous for you to stay in Edo."
"So, Master Yu Du hopes that you can go to Yokohama to rest and live in seclusion for a while."
"We will take you back after your injuries are completely healed and the situation in Edo has stabilized."
"During this period, Master Yu Du will also send people to protect your relatives and friends."
"Ah, yes, yes, I almost forgot... Master Yu Du ordered us to convey the following sentence to you intact."
Yae cleared his throat, then straightened his face and imitated Tianzhangin's speaking style:
"'Sheng Qing, I have really worked hard for you during this period. You should have a good rest. Leave the rest to me.'"
After Qingdeng heard this, he was startled and didn't say anything for a long time.
It wasn't until a moment later that he showed a complicated expression that was half helpless and half dazed.
"'Leave it to me'... Ha, these words are beautiful, but in fact she is also very confused... The production factory of Huanfu Lake was destroyed, and all the long-term efforts were in vain, and everything had to be started from scratch. At first, she didn’t know what to do next..."
"...Maybe so."
Yae looked sad.
"But there is nothing we can do now... we can only believe in Master Yu Du's wisdom."
At this time, Yae seemed to have recalled something and said quickly:
"Well, well, by the way, our "transfer plan" is approved by Miss Chiba."
Qingden raised his eyebrows.
"Miss Sanako?"
Yae nodded slightly.
"Because both you and Okita-kun have passed out, we can only discuss this matter with Miss Chiba, who is still awake."
"When Lord Yudu proposed to temporarily transfer you to Yokohama, she nodded in agreement almost without hesitation."
Yae paused for a moment, then put on a rather charming expression that was half-smiling but not smiling.
"Junior, you are so happy."
"After you were moved into the healing ward, Miss Chiba stayed with you the whole time, nervously waiting for the results of the diagnosis and treatment."
"It wasn't until the carriage to Yokohama set off that she finally closed her eyes and rested peacefully."
"As soon as her eyes closed, she fell asleep."
"The injury on her right shoulder is obviously not healed yet, but she is busy busy without stopping. She should be exhausted a long time ago."
"I think... the reason why she agreed to go to Yokohama without hesitation is probably because of you."
After Qingden heard this, he immediately turned his head subconsciously and looked at Sanako, who was lying on his left side, still sleeping soundly.
This was the first time he saw Sanako's sleeping face.
She lay on her side, curled up slightly.
The soft hair that fell to one side quietly covered her slender and beautiful eyelashes.
Although he has fallen asleep, his face and eyes still look tired.
After watching it carefully, Qingdeng was finally convinced that there was nothing wrong with the scene he had just seen when he was about to lose consciousness.
Sanako has indeed lost weight.
Although the weight loss is not huge, I am afraid that only those who have been with her day and night and are very familiar with her can notice such subtle changes.
But Aomori happened to be the one who could get along with Sanako day and night and was very familiar with Sanako.
When did Miss Sanako lose weight?
Ever since he was imprisoned in Kodenma Town Prison Yashiki, Aoto has hardly had a day of rest.
Escaped from the Kodenma Town prison house that was swallowed up by the sea of fire, forced his way into the headquarters of the thieves, captured Kimura Suma and others alive, sneaked into Yoshiwara, annihilated Kitahara Konosuke, talked with Kikuchi Sensui, visited Miyagawa Shunzou at night, and challenged " "Rabid Dog", the battle at Platycodon Mountain, kicking the Qingshui clan in 13 places, looking for Phoenix House Yataro, fighting in the factory, shooting Nue, and being defeated by Rakshasa...
Looking back, Qingdeng suddenly realized that his experiences in the past half month were more ups and downs than most of an ordinary person's life.
Various events, large and small, came one after another, leaving him no time to pay attention to external things.
Qingdeng's mind was immersed in memories, and his consciousness traveled through time and space along with the memories.
Finally, he suddenly remembered that when he and Sanako met again on the stone steps of Yuegong Shrine, she was no longer as plump as before...
Souji once secretly told him that during the time when he was "missing", Sanako had been tirelessly searching for traces of him...
At this time, for some reason, Qingdeng suddenly felt very tired.
He turned over and lay down on his back with his eyes closed.
"Forget it...this is fine..."
He whispered softly at a volume that only he could hear clearly.
"I seem to be really... tired..."
There was a strong sense of exhaustion in his tone.
Qingdeng raised his right arm and placed the cold back of his right hand on his forehead, using it to apply cold compress to his still aching and swollen head.
——I have tried my best...
——I have done everything I can do.
——Fighting so far, not only have I suffered numerous injuries and almost died, but even my important relatives and friends have almost suffered accidents.
——Just let me rest for a while...
——The merits I have made and the sacrifices I have made are all blameless.
——The only big disappointment was that he was defeated miserably by Rakshasa in the most crucial battle.
——But there is nothing we can do about it. If our skills are not as good as others, what can we do?
——Even if I want to withdraw from this struggle that I don’t know when it will end, no one is qualified to say anything wrong about me.
——His Royal Highness Tenjoin asked me to rest in Yokohama and live in seclusion for a period of time, and Miss Sanako also agreed to this. This means that no one has the intention to criticize me, right?
——I'm so sleepy... Let's sleep a little longer... I haven't had a good night's sleep in a long time...
——Yokohama is not far from Edo.
——When I wake up, I should be able to arrive in Yokohama.
——After arriving in Yokohama, let’s rest peacefully and recuperate first, and then slowly think about the future path after the body recovers.
——Ah, by the way, since Sanako-san and Okita-san want to accompany me to Yokohama, wouldn’t there be a chance for us to live together?
——If so... isn't this my ideal life?
——Marry Miss Sanako, Amu, and Miss Okita as your official wives, and then everyone can be happy together and live peacefully and happily... Such a life is so beautiful...
Thinking of this, an indescribable sense of relief surged into Qingdeng's heart.
——It’s really good.
——After a period of getting along, Sanako-san, who has a conservative personality, might agree to marry me along with Amai and Okita-san.
——Okay, that’s it!
——What about Huanfudian, what about the Qingshui clan, what about Rakshasa, etc. Let others handle these trivial matters.
——I'm really tired...just let me rest...
——Well...! I'm getting sleepy...
——Go to sleep...go to sleep...
——When you wake up, you will be able to return to a peaceful and happy daily life with Sanako and the others by your side...
Qingdeng put down the right hand that was on his forehead and put his limbs on the ground. His whole body entered an unprecedented state of relaxation, as if he was in the sea at night, and his consciousness sank to the bottom of the sea little by little with the undercurrent.
The wrapping of night and the light blocking of the carriage made Qingdeng's sleeping environment unprecedentedly good. Not a trace of light penetrated his eyelids, and abyss-like darkness came into his eyes.
Qingdeng will fall asleep again and have a wonderful sleep - this is how it should be...
…
…
...Huh? This is?
Qingdeng glanced around with a look of disbelief.
What should have been a dark field of vision suddenly appeared with color and light.
Before Qingdeng could react, these sudden colors and lights automatically formed a familiar picture.
A cave full of dust, a bloody man lying on his back.
It's Onodera.
To be more precise, Onodera was about to die.
Covered in blood, he lay on his back on the cold rock, and the corners of his mouth slowly curled into an angry and bitter smile:
(Sure enough...I'm still so unwilling...I really want to...witness...the demise of the trick...)
Qingdeng: "..."
…
Suddenly, the scene in front of me began to change.
The scene that appeared this time happened just over an hour ago.
Nishino Hosejiro knelt on the ground in an extremely standard posture, with his head held high and his chest held high.
(Nioh...take action...)
Qingdeng: "..."
…
…
…
…
"...Sasushige, stop the car."
In the driver's seat, Shazhong and Yae were both startled.
"Stop? Why?"
As Yae spoke, he turned his face and cast a puzzled look at Qingden.
Qingdeng sat up without saying a word, unscrewed the medicine bottle in his hand expressionlessly, poured out 4 pills, and threw them into his mouth.
"parking."
He repeated it again.
Shazhong looked straight at Qingdeng's face, thoughtfully.
For a moment, she seemed to understand something, showing a rather charming expression that looked both shocked and sad.
"……I see."
Shazhong tightened the reins in her hands and stopped the carriage.
"Senior, thank you for the medicine."
With that said, Qingden threw the medicine bottle in his hand to Yae.
"Uh, eh? Ah?"
Yae hurriedly took the medicine bottle.
"Junior, this medicine..."
Before she could finish her words, Qingdeng interrupted her and said:
"You keep it for me, and I'll get it back from you when I get the chance."
At this time, the carriage just stopped steadily.
Aoto took off his haori and gently covered Sanako and Souji, then got out of the car without any hesitation.
…
"Ugh...!"
Sanako let out a sigh and slowly opened her beautiful eyes.
She didn't know why, but her heart suddenly beat so fast... This made her wake up involuntarily.
In the small carriage, she first smelled Qingdeng's scent.
"This is...Tachibana-kun's Haori...?"
Sanako blinked and looked at the black feather fabric covering her body in surprise.
After bringing Aototo back to Tsukinomiya Shrine for healing, the new warriors of the new imperial palace changed Aototo into clean and fresh clothes.
How could Mr. Tachibana's clothes be on my body? The moment this idea came to mind, Sanako was shocked to find that the place beside her where Aoden should have been visible was completely empty.
"Tachibana-kun...?"
Sanako was stunned.
Of course, this is just a momentary thing.
After a moment, she hurriedly sat up and got out of the car in a panic.
This panicked behavior has nothing to do with the ladylike temperament of the past.
The cold air that hit her face made Sanako shiver.
After her eyes adjusted to the night breeze outside the car, she suddenly saw - Qingden was leading a horse, striding toward the north, in the direction of Edo.
Not far away, Saege and Yae stood side by side.
Their expressions were solemn, as if they were watching the dead soldiers rush to the battlefield.
"Tachibana-kun! Where are you going?"
As soon as Sanako's shout rang out, Qingden stopped and turned his head.
"Miss Sanako?"
Qingdeng was startled at first, and then showed bitterness on his face.
"Miss Sanako, you woke up at the wrong time..."
When he said this, the bitterness on his face turned into intriguing helplessness.
Seeing this scene and listening to these words... an ominous premonition suddenly rose in Sanako's heart.
Regardless of the fact that she had not put on her shoes yet, she just stepped on the smooth ground with a pair of feet covered with white stockings. She ran to Qingdeng in three steps and two steps at a time, using her body as a wall to block Qingdeng's path.
"Where are you going?"
She asked again.
Qingdeng smiled slightly.
"Miss Sanako, I still have unfinished business... After I finish everything, I will go to Yokohama to find you and Okita-kun."
Although Qingteng didn't explicitly say where he was going or what he was going to do, strangely enough, when he said the words "I still have unfinished business," Sanako immediately understood.
everything.
"Stop joking!"
Sanako yelled out of control.
"You finally saved your life, are you going to die again?"
Probably because he knew he couldn't hide it, Qingdeng lowered his eyebrows as if in trouble.
"Miss Sanako, I am not going to die. I will return safely."
"Return safely? Do you think I would believe this? When your body and mind were in good condition, you couldn't defeat Rakshasa, right? With your scarred appearance now, you can still do something
What?"
"Miss Sanako, I don't know if you want to believe it... Just now, I thought of a way to defeat Rakshasa. This time, I will never lose again."
"This is not a question of whether you can defeat Rakshasa! Even if you take a step back and assume that you really master the method of defeating Rakshasa, what will happen? There are hundreds of Yakuza gathered in Qingshui Residence at this time.
Ah! There is also a master like Qingshui Eiji standing guard! Do you plan to go to Qingshui Residence alone like this? How many lives do you have?"
The roar coming from deep in the throat sounded like a wail like broken glass.
While Sanako roared, he glared at Qingden with sharp eyes.
"..."
Qingden stopped talking and silently took a step to the left, preparing to avoid Sanako.
Sanako stepped forward with quick eyes and hands, and her frail and delicate body once again blocked Qingdeng's front.
"...Miss Sanako, please get out of the way. I want to fight, let me fight."
"Don't go!"
"..."
Qingdeng moved again.
This time, Sanako bit her shell and made a sound, then pulled out the wakizashi from her waist.
"I told you not to go! Didn't you hear?!"
Sanako screamed like boiling hot water suddenly overflowing.
The sharp tip of the knife pointed directly at Qingdeng's chest.
"Back off! I'm serious! Instead of watching you fight a battle that you can't win...rather than letting you be humiliated and killed by the enemy...I would rather kill you now! At least this way, you can
You die a happy death!"
She stared with red eyes, her eyes were ferocious, her tone was passionate, and her tough attitude contained a sharp chill, which made people involuntarily believe that her knife would really pierce Qingdeng's chest...
When the two sisters not far away saw this, they all looked worried.
From their expressions, it is not difficult to see that they very much want to rush forward and reconcile the conflict between Qingto and Sanako.
However, even though they were extremely anxious, they still controlled their bodies with amazing perseverance.
Even the young Yae understands that this kind of scene is not something that outsiders like them can intervene in...
Qingdeng lowered his gaze and stared at the knife in Zonazi's hand.
Right in the middle of this electric light and flint! He stretched out his left hand unexpectedly and grasped the blade! His broad palm covered less than half of the blade!
Qingteng's move immediately made Sanako, who was holding the sword, pale in appearance.
Stunned, she subconsciously wanted to withdraw the blade... but was shocked to find that the knife in her hand seemed to be clamped by iron pliers. No matter how hard she tried, it did not move at all in Qingdeng's palm.
"If you want to kill me, you have to at least point here, right?"
Qingdeng ignored the skin cut by the blade and the dripping blood. He kept his expression and controlled the blade with brute force. The tip of the blade pointed directly at his chest moved sideways to the left little by little... and finally settled on his left chest.
above.
"If you want to stab me, stab me. If you want to kill me, kill me. No matter what, I will not give in."
After saying that, Aomori let go of Sanako's wakizashi.
At the same moment - there was a "clang" sound... the knife fell to the ground.
Sanako lowered his head and said nothing, looking blankly at the wakizashi that fell at his feet, the sword covered in bright blood, and the hands holding the sword were trembling slightly.
Just when Qingteng was trying to avoid Sanako...
"Tachibana-kun...don't do this...!"
The whimpering sound caused Qingdeng to stop again.
He looked up because he was concerned about the tone of this sentence - in front of him was a pair of beautiful eyes full of tears, staring straight at him.
That ferocious look was gone.
The passionate tone disappeared.
That tough attitude disappeared.
At this time, Sanako's expression was filled with a sense of tragedy, which made people feel heartbroken and felt like she would burst into tears at any time. Her tense face was full of uneasiness, and her eyes looking at Qingto seemed to be seeking support.
"The moment... I saw... you were defeated by Rakshasa... Rakshasa raised his sword... and prepared to kill you... my mind went blank..."
"At that time...there was nothing else in my mind except 'saving you at all costs'..."
"Even now... I still remember this... tortured... annoying feeling as if there was a big stone pressing on my chest..."
"I've never had such an experience before..."
"I don't know what's wrong with me...but I'm sure...I don't want to see you get hurt...let alone die...!"
Sanako's voice was trembling, her words were incoherent, and her vocal cords were vibrating harshly.
Even though she was holding back her tears, she still pretended to be firm and looked at Qingdeng with a tense expression, like a child trying not to cry, like a paper doll that would be damaged by the slightest touch.
The unvarnished and naked sincere emotions pierced Qingdeng.
"Miss Sanako..."
The light call oozed out like a murmur.
Without any warning - Qingden stretched out his arms and gently hugged Sanako in front of him.
One of his hands moved up from her waist and hugged her shoulders, while the other hand rested on her waist. His head hung down and his chin rested on her hair.
Sanako clearly felt Qingden's breathing... As if she had lost her spine, her waist slumped, her body suddenly shrunk, and her entire upper body melted into Qingden's arms.
Just like that...she was frozen by the warmth that enveloped her.
"I'm sorry for making you worry."
Qingdeng did not make any long remarks, nor did he say anything special.
Just a mediocre apology.
However, the moment Qingto finished speaking, the atmosphere surrounding him and Sanako changed.
"..."
Sanako opened her eyes wide, and her eyes were immediately filled with tears, and the big teardrops fell down one by one and fell to the ground.
"Woo...Woo...Woo..."
She was crying and wiping her tears in embarrassment.
His face stained with tears lacked his usual beauty and heroic spirit.
"Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu..."
She struggled to hold on, not wanting to show her vulnerable side in front of Qingdeng, but she didn't hold on for long before she was defeated by the emotions that surged into her heart.
Tears flowed down in front of Qing Deng like a bursting dam.
Swallowed by emotion, she buried her face full of tears deeply into Qingdeng's arms as her heart overflowed.
Sadness, fear, nostalgia... countless emotions, as well as other indescribable things, were forcibly transmitted from Sanako's body into Qingto's heart.
The cry of pain was muffled in Qingdeng's chest.
She hugged Qingdeng and used strength with both hands, as if she would never let go of Qingdeng.
Completely ignoring his own image and completely ignoring the two sisters who were still standing aside.
It should be said that she had no intention of paying attention to her own image from the beginning, and she had no time to care about the eyes of her two sisters.
At this time, it seems that Yamato Nadeshiko's reserve cannot completely block the emotional waves in her heart.
"Don't go..."
Sanako's voice was blurred by tears, and she probably couldn't even hear what she was saying.
"It doesn't matter even if you hate me... don't leave... come with us to Yokohama..."
"If I hate you...wouldn't it be too difficult for me?"
Qingden hugged Sanako tighter in his arms.
"I'm sorry...but I really have to go. I have unfinished business. I still have things I need to finish."
"Tachibana-kun... go to Qingshui Residence now... you will really die..."
"Even if I die, I want to see with my own eyes how far I can persist."
After saying that, Qingto moved his hands that had been wrapped around Sanako's back in front of him, and gently held Sanako's face.
"Miss Sanako, you don't have to believe that I have figured out a way to defeat Rakshasa, but there is only one thing. I hope you can believe me."
"Eh...um...?!"
A comfortable touch suddenly covered Sanako's lips.
It was just a light touch, but magma-like heat erupted in an instant... This was true for both parties.
After a long time, the lips parted.
"That's what I want to say to you."
Sanako raised her beautiful eyes, her wet eyes flashing with complex emotions, surprise, strong sadness and pure love...
"Tachibana-kun...um...!"
As soon as he started speaking, the rest of the conversation was interrupted by a cry of pain.
She didn't even have time to struggle, so she closed her eyes uncontrollably and fell limply into Qingdeng's arms.
Qingden expressionlessly withdrew his right palm, which resembled a sword, from the back of Sanako's neck, picked up the unconscious girl in a princess hug, and turned to walk towards the two sisters.
"Miss Sashige, senior, please take care of Miss Sanako."
Yae nodded vigorously and took Sanako from Aomori's arms.
"Well, even if I die, I will protect Miss Chiba and Okita-kun!"
"That being the case, I'm relieved."
After taking one last longing look at Sanako in front of him and Souji in the carriage, Aomori got on his horse.
At this time, Shazhong walked slowly to the horse's head.
"Mr. Orange, weren't your swords cut off by Rakshasa? Do you really don't need me to lend you a weapon?"
"unnecessary."
Qingden shook his head.
"I know a place where weapons are kept... and a lot of them."
"In this case, I won't say anything more."
Shazhong turned sideways and got out of the way.
"Mr. Orange, I wish you good luck in martial arts."
"Well, I also wish you a safe and early arrival in Yokohama."
Qingdeng smiled slightly, then tapped the horse's belly with his heel, driving the horse to gallop into the distance.
The two sisters stood still, watching the tall figure drifting away.
"elder sister……"
"What's up?"
"Isn't this really good if I don't stop my juniors?"
Yae turned his head and cast an uneasy look at Sae beside him - what he looked at with this mood was a face with mixed emotions.
"Is there any reason to stop a man from running into battle?"
…
…
Edo, suburbs, Mount Kikyo——
Qingdeng drove his horses straight towards the top of the mountain along the road he had traveled before.
The gurgling sound of the waterfall can be heard in the distance, and bursts of roaring are interspersed from time to time.
The night wind blows, the waves blow, and the looming mist constantly changes into shadows of different shades.
The surroundings were filled with twilight and darkness.
The woods, the low bushes, the owls standing on the branches, the familiar hot springs... Qingden flew past without looking at it.
Within a moment, a shaky and dilapidated thatched house broke into his field of vision.
He jumped off the horse, tied the reins to a big tree, and walked towards the thatched house with his head held high.
On the way, he picked up a relatively strong and thick branch from the ground.
Squeak...
The rotten wooden door was pushed open inch by inch... Dust was flying everywhere as far as the eye could see.
(Tachibana Takayuki...he buried a large wooden box...in the southeast corner of the thatched house...)
Qingto followed Onodera's instructions and found the southeast corner of the house.
Click, click, click, click...
Qingdeng inserted the branch he had just picked up into the soil and used it as a shovel to pry the soil away bit by bit.
The ground that was originally extremely flat gradually appeared into a large pit that was getting deeper and deeper, extending underground.
As the soil was lifted up one after another, the air was filled with a choking smell.
About 5 minutes later, the branch reaching down into the pit suddenly hit something very hard that didn't feel like a stone.
Qingdeng was startled for a moment, then quickly threw away the branch in his hand, leaned down, and stretched out his hand to remove the dust in the pit.
In the big pit, buried deep under the dust, was a square, unknown object.
Although the surface of the object was stained a dark khaki color by rocks and soil, Qingdeng could still clearly see that it was a huge wooden box.
"Found it..."
Qingdeng picked up the branches he had just thrown away and spared no effort in shoveling the soil around the edge of the pothole to enlarge it.
Finally, after working for another ten minutes, he finally managed to widen the hole to a size large enough to move out the wooden box inside.
With the blessing of talents such as "Nine Bulls and Two Tigers", Qingdeng was able to lift the wooden box out of the pit without any difficulty.
"Is this it..."
Qingdeng gently brushed the dust off the box with gentle movements.
The dust danced sparklingly under the moonlight.
Qingdeng let out a long breath involuntarily, and the warm gas came out in a thick puff, and then dissipated in an instant.
Click - he slowly opened the lid of the box.
This wooden box hidden deep in the ground like a great secret treasure does not contain immeasurable money or any incredible martial arts secrets or magical weapons.
In the huge box, there were only 9 knives lying quietly.
Judging from the plain black knives, these knives are ordinary swords that can be seen everywhere in the market, and there is nothing special about them.
Qingdeng picked up one of the knives and pulled it out with a bang.
The moonlight penetrated the broken ceiling and sprinkled the unsheathed sword like light dust.
Suddenly, a blinding cold light filled Qingdeng's vision.
A sword is a delicate weapon that will rust if not maintained regularly.
These knives have been buried deep in the ground for nearly 2 years, and no one has cared about them for nearly 2 years... I know that their condition will not be any better.
I saw that there were many brown rust spots on the originally extremely shiny blade.
A proper "Tetanus Blade"... If you were hit by such a knife, it would be no joke.
Even if he is not hacked to death on the spot, he will be tortured in agony due to tetanus infection later.
There was no specific medicine to treat tetanus in this era.
Although a rusty knife can perform effective "magic attacks", the rust will greatly reduce the toughness of the knife, making it more fragile and brittle, losing its original strength and durability.
Fortunately, the blade is still sharp and can still cut flesh and bones easily!
The bottom of the blade is engraved with a series of concise and powerful Chinese characters.
Qingdeng picked up the other knives in the box one by one and pulled them out.
All the knives, without exception, have the same phrase engraved on the bottom of the blade - "Destroy evil spirits"!
