Cheng Jiaxuan cried out in alarm and hurriedly rushed to his side. With one hand on his shoulder and the other holding a light green handkerchief, she wiped the corner of his mouth and said, "Are you alright?" Jiang Liechen's face showed anger. He suddenly waved his hand and pushed her away. "Get lost," he shouted, "Don't touch me! What I hate the most is being touched by other people. " This habit was very similar to An Yesun's. Thinking about the brother he had killed with his own hands, he was filled with grief and indignation and spat out a few more mouthfuls of blood.
Cheng Jiaxuan was pushed to the ground by him, and the handkerchief fell to her side. She didn't care about her own humiliation and earnestly said, "Those doctors said that you … you lost too much blood, that's why you're often weak and powerless." Jiang Liechen disdainfully said, "Nonsense, so what?" Cheng Jiaxuan bit her lip and looked at the ground, then looked up at him. Her fingers rubbed the blood vessels on her wrist. After hesitating for a while, she finally said, "How about … you drink my blood?" Jiang Liechen was slightly startled. Only then did he cast a sideways glance at her. "What …?" he muttered to himself.
Cheng Jiaxuan took advantage of her moment of impulse and still had enough courage. She took a dagger from her pocket and 'swish' cut her wrist. Immediately, tiny drops of blood flowed out, gradually converging into a thin stream. She then brought her wrist to his mouth.
Jiang Liechen frowned. He didn't want to touch her skin, but the temple was sparse and he couldn't find a container to hold her blood. A stream of blood slowly flowed into his mouth. He only felt that the taste was slightly fishy. As the blood swirled around the tip of his tongue, it was barely acceptable, and he didn't want to resist anymore. At first, he waited silently, but then he became impatient with the speed of the blood flow. He directly pulled her wrist and bit it. Immediately, large mouthfuls of blood flowed into his mouth.
Cheng Jiaxuan suddenly felt a sharp pain in his wrist, but when he thought about how he could be so "intimate" with him, his heart felt sweet. Gradually Jiang Liechen's vision blurred, his head was dizzy, just as he was about to pass out, suddenly he heard some noise coming from outside the temple, which was coming straight toward the small temple. "Who's there?" he muttered to himself. Shaking off Cheng Jiaxuan, he ducked behind a pillar. He had not yet recovered from his injuries, so it was not suitable for him to fight with others. Just a small movement was enough to make him gasp for breath.
Cheng Jiaxuan also quickly ducked. The beam was thick, so it was not difficult for it to block the two of them at the same time. However, it was inevitable that they would have to stick closer to each other. Seeing that there was a big cut on his wrist and blood was still flowing out, he hastily sealed several acupoints on his arm. He also tore a piece of cloth from his clothes to bandage the wound.
Footsteps were heard, indeed five people walked in from outside the door. Their faces were full of stubble, their hair was disheveled, they did not care about their appearance, apparently they were rough people from the mountains. They walked into the temple in big strides and sat down in the middle. They rubbed some straw and made a fire. From their sack they took a pheasant and roasted it until it was golden brown. The five of them tore the pheasant and ate it in big chunks. They smacked their lips and shouted, "Delicious! Delicious! "
Cheng Jiaxuan swallowed his saliva and leaned forward to take a look. Although Jiang Liechen did not like her leaning on him, he knew that if he pushed her out right now, those people would be alerted and his situation would be very dangerous. Weighing the pros and cons, he did not want to lose the big picture for the sake of small gains. He could only try his best to separate himself from her.
A tall and strong man among the five laughed and said, "We have left that group of pretty boys behind us! In a few more days, when we reach Hetuala, we brothers will be the first. "An old man sitting next to him coldly said," San Di, you must not be careless. You must know that even if we are in a hurry, the others may not necessarily be weaker than us. At night, if we don't sleep, they don't sleep either. If we compete with their speed, and from time to time they take shortcuts, it will be very difficult to say who will be the first. "
The San Di laughed and said, "Even if the others are really the first, so what? This is not a competition of speed, when the time comes and they are the first to snatch it, they will be happy, and then we brothers will snatch it from them, giving them empty joy. Won't that be wonderful? Ha ha ha ha! " Hearing that, the other three also laughed. Only the old man was still worried and sick at heart. He said, "You haven't even taken a step out of the house, and you really think that we, the 'Hedong Five Tigers', are number one in the world? If you want to snatch other people's treasure, you'd better think about how to protect it after you snatch the 'Death Seeking Chop', so that other people won't snatch it away! "
Someone on the opposite side laughed and said, "Big Brother, why do you always praise other people's morale and diminish our Five Tigers' prestige? If the five of us are separated, each one of us is a top-notch martial art master, if we join forces to repel the enemy, hey hey, just think about it, in the whole world, who can be our match? "
A man wearing a flowery shirt took a bite of a chicken leg, wiped the grease off his mouth, and said, "Big Brother, San Ge, I, Lao Si, don't understand. Since this is the case, the people behind can wait for the people in front to dig out the treasure first, and then they can pick up the ready-made bargain. But why is it that right now everybody is scrambling to be the first?"
The old man said, "You don't understand? Isn't it because they don't want to gather together and let that Li Meng Zhu lead them? When the time comes, even if they find the 'Death Seeking Chop', it will definitely be given to those people with power and influence to line their own pockets. Those people who are willing to contribute will not get the slightest benefit. Therefore, they might as well make the first move and gain the upper hand, so that the 'Death Seeking Chop' will enter their own pocket. "Everybody praised," Big Brother's words are very true! "
Cheng Jiaxuan muttered in a low voice, "Death Seeking Chop – Death Seeking Chop … what kind of treasure is that? The name sounds familiar. "Jiang Liechen said," It is one of the 'Seven Evils' treasures, a swift saber that is on par with the 'Residual Shadow Sword'. " And then he remembered that when he and Shen Shiyun were walking around the Gu Mu, they practically turned the whole place upside down, but they did not find the thing they wanted. Finally, because of a moment of carelessness, Shen Shiyun swindled the 'Severing Soul Tear', which could be considered the greatest shame and humiliation of his life. Cheng Jiaxuan deliberately touched the pot that did not boil, he responded, "Um, I remember now. Last time you and Noble Consort Yun found this item in the Royal Mausoleum."
The old man continued, "This information was released by the Noble Consort Yun in the Imperial Palace. That woman is very strange, I don't know if she is plotting something. As soon as we enter the underground palace, life and death is uncertain, we must be more careful in everything. "The third brother said," Big Brother is saying that there might be enemy troops hiding in the Royal Mausoleum, waiting for an opportunity to attack us? " The old man laughed coldly and said, "She still has to rely on us to dig out the 'Death Seeking Chop', before she did not dare to act blindly without thinking. Later on, everything is hard to say …"
The other one who had been silent all along said, "That's right, first she ordered us to kill each other in the Hall of the Underworld to seize the 'Death Seeking Chop' and exhaust our strength. After a chaotic battle, the one who finally wins will definitely only have half of his life left. His spirit is exhausted, his strength is exhausted. As soon as he climbed up, he immediately encountered the officers and soldiers who tried to intercept him. His physical strength is bound to be exhausted, and he will have to surrender the 'Death Seeking Chop' that he risked his life to seize. The Imperial Court effortlessly, without losing a single soldier or a single soldier, they have greatly reduced our Upright Sect's strength, and also obtained a rare treasure. Although this plan is vicious, it is also really wonderful! Noble Consort Yun is not a simple character, no wonder even a character like the Devil Cult's Hierarch Jiang fell into her trap. Now he is seriously injured, his whereabouts are a mystery. Humph, this is really pitiful. Who let the Devil Cult do all kinds of evil? They deserve this retribution, but in the end this move is for the common people of the world to hold their heads high. "
The old man looked at him approvingly, "Not simple, not simple," he said, "How come our Fifth Younger Brother suddenly became smart today? Since he has seen through Noble Consort Yun's trick, he must have a way to deal with it. In short, at the beginning we must preserve our strength, wait until they are defeated, and then we will strike a decisive blow. Although that group of officers and soldiers' martial art skill is not worth mentioning, they are always rushing toward us endlessly, which is really annoying. "
The Fifth Younger Brother said, "Thank you very much for Dage's praise. Actually, Noble Consort Yun's original plan was to take advantage of the Upright Sect's annihilation of the Devil Cult to fully arouse the conflict between the two sides, so that both sides would suffer heavy losses. At that time, the Imperial Court would be able to take advantage of the situation to invade, and then there would be no power in the Central Plains who would be able to contend against them. Who would have thought that this plan would come to nothing, who would have thought that the Devil Cult would be so useless? Some would surrender, some would have internal strife, and finally the Upright Sect would emerge victorious. Humph, humph. "While he was speaking, he tore the meat on the chicken leg into strips and put it in his mouth and chewed slowly.
The Third Younger Brother said, "The Devil Cult's followers surrendered as soon as they were defeated, not only they themselves were cowards, their Hierarch was also disheartened. I say, that Jiang Xiao Mo Zong, he bet his heart and soul on cultivating his martial art skill, but in the end he was destroyed precisely because of this! I don't know where he took the Seven Demons Secret Manual, the Devil Cult's Headquarter was completely destroyed. I hope he took it with him. I hope we can find him first, and then he will die. "
The old man said, "These are Jianghu's secret matters, the more we talk, the more mistakes we will make. We, brothers, better not talk too much. Eat quickly, after we finish eating, we must hurry on our way to that underground palace first. Even if we don't look for the Seeking Life Strike, it will be good if we can explore the terrain in detail. It can be said that we will be in an invincible position. " "That's right …" the Fourth Younger Brother said. Suddenly he exclaimed, "Ah!" and said, "Dage, look, there are bloodstains on this haystack! Could it be that someone was recuperating here? "
The old man stretched out a finger and gently brushed it on the haystack. "That's right," he said, "The blood is still slightly warm, presumably it was not too long ago. Or perhaps a traveler was bitten by a wild beast. There are too many things in the world, can we manage each and every one of them? We'd better not waste our energy. "
Cheng Jiaxuan lowered his head to look at the wound on his wrist. The bleeding had barely stopped, but looking at the open wound, he could still imagine the tragic scene of him violently spurting blood a moment ago. Jiang Liechen coldly said, "It's all your fault, you scoundrel. You don't even know how to control your bleeding?" "I'm sorry," Cheng Jiaxuan said, "I … I thought this place was safe, so I didn't think too much. Besides, I was worried about you …"
With a cold laugh Jiang Liechen said, "You were worried that the enemy wouldn't be able to find me, weren't you?" "That's not it," Cheng Jiaxuan said, "I …" Actually, the source of the blood was unknown. Was it the blood that flowed out from her wrist, or was it the blood that he accidentally spat out earlier? The truth was not clear. Cheng Jiaxuan was showered with harsh scolding and scorching satire. She felt wronged in her heart, but on the surface she was still careful and obedient.
The Third Younger Brother was a reckless man, he was frank and outspoken. "That's not right," he said, "This small temple is a desolate place, there is no village to the front and no inn to the back. How can we see even half a shadow of a man or a wild beast around? Most likely those who came here and got injured are like us, our martial art skills are not weak, but they need to hide to recuperate … But why does he need to hide? Because his enemy is still looking for him … "
Inspired by him, the Fourth Younger Brother said, "That's right! There are only three reasons why he needs to hide like this. First, his injury is very serious. Second, his enemy's martial art skill is very high. Third, the enemy has a lot of people. Right now the only one who can satisfy these three reasons is … "Although he did not say it explicitly, everybody understood what he was implying. The Third Younger Brother slapped his thigh and called out, "That's right, that's right. Big Brother said he just left not long ago, but when we came here, we didn't see even half a shadow of a man for a hundred li. Think about it, how can a seriously injured man run faster than a rabbit? Could it be … that he's still hiding in this temple? "
The Fifth Younger Brother said, "Right now it's more important to find the Death Killer Strike. The less trouble the better …" "No," the Elder said with a heavy voice, "If the one hiding here is really that person, then we can take advantage of his injury to subdue him and interrogate him about the whereabouts of the 'Seven Demons Manual'. If we get one of the treasures first, we'll have a good start. In the future everything will be smooth sailing and treasures will come rolling in. " The Third Younger Brother happily said, "That's right, the five of us will search separately. As long as that little devil is still hiding in the temple, he won't be able to escape my eyes. Even if it's a mouse hiding in the corner, I'll be able to catch it. "
