Suddenly a black shadow flashed across and stood in front of the mysterious man.
I felt that this person's figure looked unusually familiar, and I thought I had seen it wrong. I couldn't help but rub my eyes and found that this person turned out to be Si Weiqi.
"Sister Qi?" I was unexpected by Si Weiqi's sudden appearance, but every time I think that Si Weiqi will always appear at a major critical moment, ripples appear in my heart.
To be honest, I regret that I deliberately kept a distance from Si Weiqi for the sake of my so-called dignity. I also regret that I stubbornly thought that I could defeat the mysterious man on my own, thus proving nothing.
In fact, this is all my vanity.
Si Weiqi stood in front of me and said to the mysterious man: "Don't be stubborn. You haven't had an epiphany after living for a hundred years!"
"Hahaha, you finally showed up. The Contractor of the Gods and Ghosts is in charge of the taboos of the Gods and Ghosts. You are aloof and yet you are still talking about enlightenment here. What a profound mystery!" After saying that, he struck at Si Weiqi with one hand like the wind.
Si Weiqi's figure was swaying slightly, and a few strands of her black hair were chopped off by the mysterious person. I was stunned when I saw it. I didn't expect that Si Weiqi would suddenly come out.
I got up and picked up a piece of gravel. All my anger and strength were concentrated on this stone, and I threw it at the mysterious man in the air. The big stone did not knock the mysterious man down as I imagined, but instead
Passed against his ear.
But the sudden flying boulder slightly distracted the mysterious man. He was startled at first, but it was too late to stop, and his left hand was cut off by Si Weiqi Qigen.
The two of them fell to the ground at the same time. Si Weiqi did not attack again and quickly took off the coat that was spattered by the mysterious man's blood. The mysterious man covered the injury with his remaining hand and suddenly laughed and said: "Haha, I miscalculated today. One day,
I will definitely repay you twice as much."
After saying that, he laughed crazily and jumped into the pool. Xuanwu roared, opened his big mouth, and swallowed alive the mysterious man in mid-air.
The huge roar shook the gravel on the ground. I looked at Xuanwu sinking into the water. I couldn't believe that the mysterious man died like this. Then I looked at Si Weiqi's hesitant eyes, and I hurriedly asked: ""
Sister Qi, is he really dead?"
Si Weiqi looked at the surface of the pond where the aftermath had not subsided and shook her head.
At night, there was no more carnival. The hatred that sank into the water was still spreading. The old Taoist looked at Si Weiqi, who had a calm face, and asked: "Miss Si, why are you here?"
Si Weiqi glanced at Old Tao'er, turned her head, and said to me slowly: "I have been feeling uneasy these past few days, so I asked the brothers from Dragon Bone Hall to check your whereabouts, and they knew that something had happened to you. I found Qilin.
When I walked down the slope, there was no one, and I followed your breath to find this place. I didn’t expect that the mysterious man actually led the Xuanwu to this Tianchi."
I wondered why Qilinpo was so empty. Could it be that all the bodies had been removed? I quickly asked: "Did you see a fourteen-year-old girl in Qilinpo? She was shot.
hurt."
Si Weiqi frowned slightly, looked at the snow peaks in the distance, and replied solemnly: "I didn't find any corpses, just blood stains on the ground. As for the little girl you mentioned, I didn't see it."
After hearing this, I didn’t know whether I felt happy or worried. If someone comes to Qilin Slope after we leave, they will definitely save Ma Ningshuang, but who will that person be?
I don’t know when, a few snowflakes floated in the sky. I helped Lao Tao’er up and went down the mountain with Si Weiqi. Si Weiqi rarely spoke along the way. Occasionally Lao Tao’er talked to her, Si Weiqi
Weiqi just said a few words politely.
I know that there has been a "hate" between me and her. Although I don't say it and she doesn't point it out, we still have to face it after all.
"Sister Qi, I..."
"If you have anything to say, let's talk about it after we get back." Si Weiqi interrupted me.
"Okay." I held back.
"Miss Si, thank you for your generous action. I am an old man..."
"Senior, in the final analysis, this matter is due to our Yuling being sorry for you. Lin Kun is too young and doesn't know the depth of the water. He acted on his own impulse and got you and Senior Xiaoyaozi into trouble as well. I should apologize to you.
!”
"Hey, Miss Si is serious. We are both acting under orders and have nothing to do with Lin Kun."
"Sister Qi, do you know something?" I was filled with questions. When the mysterious man saw Si Weiqi, he showed no surprise at all. Instead, he understood her very well. However, Si Weiqi kept saying that his enlightenment was not deep.
What does this epiphany mean?
We found a hotel to stay in. There were many shops selling mountain ginseng and ginseng antler on both sides of the road, so we could get some herbs for the old Taoist.
I was sitting in the room with anxiety. Seeing what Si Weiqi meant, the mysterious man was not dead yet. Last time I chopped off four of his fingers, and this time I chopped off his entire left hand. Although it was not put into the mouth of Xuanwu, it might really look like him.
As he said himself, even if he wanted to die, the Lord of Hell would not accept him.
The old man was lying on the bed and whispered to me: "Boy, it seems to me that you two..."
After hearing this, I glared at him and said to him: "Don't talk nonsense, it's nothing like that."
The old Taoist smiled and sighed quietly: "I didn't expect that there are so many heroes in Hengda Shouzhuang, but they fight to death for a dead thing."
"I heard that if you gather two ginseng plants, you can become a god and have eternal life. It would be weird if you don't steal them!" I said to the old Taoist while looking at the snowflakes flying in the sky outside the window.
"That's the problem."
"what is the problem?"
"eternal life!"
"You can see it too."
"Don't forget, what are we running for?"
"Pangu Xin?"
The old Taoist shook his head and sighed: "Now that things have happened, you have also been treated scornfully by me. There is more than one person who has pursued his own path to immortality in ancient and modern times. It ranges from a peddler and a lackey to a longevity star. It ranges from civil and military officials to even the Nine-Five Supreme Being. Which one?"
I don’t want to be immortal for eternity, but life and death are determined by destiny. If you go against nature, you will only die earlier. However, there is always a force hidden in the countercurrent of history. No matter how civilization evolves, it will always spare no effort.
Going against the trend, if you just regard it as the personal behavior of some careerists, you may not see anything, but if you regard it as an entity, or even a transcendent entity, a high-dimensional existence, you will
We discovered that this countercurrent has been influencing the direction of history from beginning to end, and even the evolutionary path we thought we were heading towards the civilized world was just the result of a compromise in the struggle against the countercurrent."
"You mean that the countercurrent is behind the mysterious man?"
I finally said this.
The old Taoist shook his head and said: "It's hard to say. Yuling has been looking for this countercurrent. Maybe you don't call it that, but one thing is for sure. It is not a simple organization. Its history
It should have the same roots as human genetic evolution and civilization
Progress is synchronized.”
"I don't know what it is. I call it shadow. It is like the dark side of man, the shadow of man. It cannot be separated from the human world and human history, just like yin and yang, inseparable."
The snow hides the earth deeply, but it cannot freeze the crazy growth of greed. The lights of thousands of houses are bright, and the human heart has nowhere to turn. Those who can see through life and death may not care about how long or how long their life span is.
Lao Tao'er and I were chatting when we saw Si Weiqi push open the door and come in, holding a ginseng plant in her hand. I took a closer look and saw that it was Ma Di's King Ginseng plant.
"Lin Kun, come here!"
"Ah? What for?" I looked at the ginseng handed to me by Si Weiqi, not knowing what I wanted to do.
"Take a bite and chew!"
"ah?"
Although I didn’t know the purpose of doing this, I still did it. I kept chewing it in my mouth without swallowing it, and then spit it out in the palm of my hand. Si Weiqi asked Lao Daoer to turn aside again
He asked me to apply the residue of the ginseng king on Lao Daoer's wound.
Only then did I feel relieved. It turned out that Si Weiqi wanted to treat Lao Dao'er's injury. Although this ginseng king could not cure Lao Dao'er's poison, ginseng could strengthen the body and expel evil spirits, which was good for the recovery of the wound.
Si Weiqi finished applying the medicine to Lao Daoer and said: "Although the condition will not continue to worsen, if you want to recover, you need to keep walking every day, which is beneficial to the recovery of the injury."
The old Taoist scratched his head and asked Si Weiqi with a smile: "Miss Si, you see I am so injured that I can't even stand up. How can I move around? I think I can recover faster just lying down on the bed."
"As the saying goes, keep your feet on the ground. It's taboo for an injured person to stay in bed. If you can't move around, just put your feet on the ground and connect them to the earth's energy."
After hearing this, the old Taoist nodded and said nothing more. Si Weiqi said to me calmly: "This matter is very complicated. You really shouldn't make the investigation without reporting it to me."
After saying that, he put the remaining half of the ginseng in my hand.
"Sister Qi, I realize my mistake, I..." Before I could finish speaking, my body felt as if I had been shocked by an electric shock, my tongue began to curl, and the things in front of me began to blur, but I was looking at the ground.
The distance to the head is getting closer and closer.
Finally, I fell to the ground.
Although he was conscious, his facial features were restricted and his hearing was getting blurry. He didn't know what was going on. He just felt like the world was spinning and his body was gradually shrouded in darkness. But he felt that his body was getting hotter and hotter, as if he was being burned by a flame.
.I want to shout but I can’t make a sound. Maybe I can’t hear myself even if I shout.
This feeling was really worse than death, as if every piece of skin was burning, and the flames gradually spread to my internal organs. Just when my consciousness was about to blur, I felt a sudden gust of cool wind blowing out the will-o'-the-wisp.
I felt a chill all over my body. I gritted my teeth, shook my head, opened my eyes a crack, and saw Si Weiqi holding a washbasin. My whole body was also wet.
The old man looked at me with wide eyes and asked, "What's wrong with you?"
I was also puzzled, why did it fall down? Si Weiqi put down the washbasin in her hand and frowned: "Did you throw your clothes elsewhere? Someone is doing evil magic and 'burning mourning clothes'!"
I was stunned after hearing this, "Yes, at Qilinpo, we have Ginseng King..." I asked Si Weiqi doubtfully.
