Chapter 15: Dead wood hands

Views:

Yang Ning carried Mu Lao on his back through the mountains and forests. Mu Lao lay on Yang Ning's back, pointing the way from time to time, but the directions he pointed were all in extremely dark and difficult places. Yang Ning knew in his heart that this old guy was just trying to avoid his enemies. He deliberately went deep into the messy and dark place, and tried several times to throw the old guy off his back. However, thinking that this guy had killed more than a dozen big men from the Five Poison Palace by himself, he still felt very fearful and did not dare to act rashly.

Although the old man was not serious, he would cough for a while every once in a while. Every time he coughed, the fishy smell with the smell of blood would hit his nose, making Yang Ning extremely uncomfortable.

The mountain road was rugged, getting higher and higher. It took two hours of walking at once. Yang Ning was already too tired. At this time, he had already entered the deep mountains. Yang Ning was about to stop and take a rest when he suddenly heard Mu Lao said: "Then Is there a cave next to it?" He raised his hand and pointed not far away.

Yang Ning looked over and saw a bunch of thorns and withered vines in front of him. It seemed that there was really a dark cave. He walked closer and Mu Lao said, "Let's rest here first."

Yang Ning was so exhausted that he pushed open the withered vines. Behind him was a rather spacious cave. Once inside, it was so dark that he could hardly see anything. He put Mu Lao down first and then sat down. Go down.

Mu Lao said: "You stand guard at the entrance of the cave. If you notice any movement, tell me immediately."

Yang Ning sneered in his heart: "I carried you here, you are exhausted, and now you ask me to be the gatekeeper? Wait until your injury occurs, and see if I don't torture you to death." Sitting in front of the cave, his mouth was dry at this time, but there was nothing he could do. .

After a while, Mu Lao was heard breathing very lightly, turning around and calling softly: "Old sir, how do you feel now? Are you okay with your injuries?"

Mu Lao did not answer, he seemed to have fallen asleep.

Yang Ning called out again, but Mu Lao was still silent. Yang Ning sneered. At this time, he got used to the dim light. He saw Mu Lao huddled in the cave, stood up, walked over slowly, and shook his hand. He raised his fist, hesitated for a moment, and finally shook his head, thinking to himself that the old guy was seriously injured, and although he suffered a little, he didn't really hurt himself after all, so there was really no need to take advantage of others' danger.

However, this gloomy old guy is really disgusting. No one would believe that he would lead her out of the forest. On the contrary, once this old guy regains his strength, he will bring himself big trouble. Naturally, Yang Ning does not want to be controlled by this old guy. , seeing that he was motionless and already asleep, it was a good time to leave.

Niutou Ridge is a continuous ups and downs, and Mu Lao is injured again. If he leaves now, it is impossible for Mu Lao to find him again.

Moreover, Yang Ning always kept Xiaodie's safety in mind, so naturally he couldn't stay here any longer.

He turned around and walked quietly out of the cave. As soon as he stepped out of the cave, he felt something hit him in the crook of his knee. His whole leg went numb and stiffened instantly, and he could no longer move.

He was shocked when he heard Mu Lao's gloomy voice coming from behind him: "You want to leave?"

"Mr. Mu, you really misunderstood." Yang Ning reacted very quickly and already said with a smile: "I saw that you were always injured, so I wanted to find some water for you to drink, and by the way, I checked to see if there were any wild fruits to pick. Give you some nutrition, you are a wounded person now, you can’t survive without nutrition.”

The old guy was obviously faking his sleep just now, just to test whether he would leave him alone. Yang Ning was afraid for a while. If he really took advantage of the situation, he was afraid that his life would have been paid off.

Although Mu Lao was injured, it was still easy to take his own life with the skill he just used.

"So you were thinking about me?" Mu Laohei chuckled and said, "You are quite filial, I thought you were going to leave me alone and escape at night."

Yang Ning smiled and said: "It's fate that you and I can meet each other in such a remote place. You are injured now. If I leave you, it would be really unjust. Old sir, you can You think so bad of me."

Mu Lao smiled and said: "It seems that you are still very loyal?" He raised his arm slightly, and something hit the crook of Yang Ning's leg. Yang Ning felt that the stiffness in his leg disappeared immediately, and the right leg that could not move started to move again. After being able to move, Mu Lao already said: "Come here!"

At this time, Yang Ning wanted to pick up a stone and smash this old thing to pieces, but he still said with a smile on his face: "Mr. Mu, your kung fu is really amazing. I am so impressed by this junior." When he got to Mu Lao, he squatted down. Asked: "What is Mr. Mu's order?"

Mu Lao stared at Yang Ning with his eyes. Yang Ning was originally an extremely bold person, but being stared at by these eyes made him feel very uncomfortable, and his spine even felt a little chilly.

"Seeing that you are so righteous, I will tell you the truth. I was injured by the Five Poison Needles of those guys before, and now I am poisoned." Mu Lao said slowly: "But this amount of poison is not good for me. Without being any threat, I can eliminate all the poison from my body in less than three days."

It turned out that the old guy was poisoned. No wonder the vomited blood had that fishy smell.

"Why don't I poison you to death?" Yang Ning cursed in his heart. This old guy was really unfailing in his talk. Even if he said that the poison posed no threat to him, it would take three days to remove the poison. This was obviously Inconsistencies can only be expressed openly with this kind of shamelessness.

It's just that the old guy claims to detoxify in three days, so is it possible that he has to wait here for three days? If we stay in the mountains for three days and try to catch up with the escort team, it will be impossible.

Yang Ning was anxious, but her expression remained unchanged.

"You are right. It is indeed fate that I can meet you." Mu Lao raised his hand and patted Yang Ning's shoulder, showing a strange smile, "You are a righteous person, so I will trouble you to help me these days. Keep watch, and help me find water and food. After three days, I will naturally take you out of the mountain."

Yang Ning's heart sank, but there was a slightly embarrassed look on his face, and he said: "Mr. Mu, don't say a few days, even a few years. I am willing to learn more with you. But I still have something to do, I'm afraid I can't Listen to the teachings by your side. Let's do this. Tomorrow I will find water and food for you, prepare enough for three to five days, and then go to find my companions. Leave me an address, and I will go when I miss you. Look at you, what do you think?"

Mu Lao immediately let out a strange laugh, which made Yang Ning's hair stand up.

He took his hand back from Yang Ning's shoulder, but looked at his right hand like a piece of art with his eyes, and asked slowly: "By the way, what's your name?"

"I'm a street kid, others call me Little White Rabbit." Yang Ning said seriously.

Mu Lao still looked at his hand and said, "Little White Rabbit, do you know the name of my hand?"

Yang Ning was a little annoyed, thinking to herself if you, an old and dishonest person, were teasing me. I had never heard that a hand could have a name, so she couldn't help but ask, "Could it be called Miss Wu?"

"What?" Mu Lao didn't hear clearly for a moment.

Yang Ning forced a smile and said: "I don't know, junior, so please ask Mr. Mu for advice."

Mu Lao said calmly: "Many people call this hand the dead wood hand."

"Withered wood hands?"

"Everything that a wooden hand touches will wither." Mu Lao said slowly: "Just like the few times I patted you on the shoulder just now, several of your tendons have been injured. From now on, those meridians will slowly shrink. It won't take a few days to completely wither, little white rabbit, do you know what will happen to people after their meridians wither?"

Yang Ning's expression changed drastically at this time. He never expected that Mu Lao would actually attack him after just tapping him on the shoulder a few times. He wanted to rush forward and strangle the old man to death. He smiled bitterly and said: "Mr. Mu, you are so stupid What are you doing? Is there something wrong with this junior?"

"The meridians are withered. If they are ordinary meridians, they will just be paralyzed. However, the meridians that I touched are the eight extraordinary meridians in your body. Once they are withered...!" Mu Lao smiled, but did not continue.

The Eight Extraordinary Meridians, as soon as they heard the name, were incredible. Yang Ning sighed and said: "Mr. Mu, you... you are repaying kindness with hatred." Although he said this, he still had some doubts in his heart, and secretly thought that he would just pat the two Come on, you can really hurt my meridians. This old guy has the habit of scaremongering and bragging. Maybe he is just making a fuss.

"Don't worry, I just want you to know that my dead wood hand is very powerful." Mu Lao coughed a few times before continuing: "I see that you have outstanding qualifications. I plan to accept you as my disciple after you recover from the injury and teach you world-class martial arts. You train yourself to be a first-class master, and as long as you practice top martial arts, there is nothing in the world that you can't get, little white rabbit, are you willing?"

Unparalleled martial arts

Yang Ning really wanted to spit on this old liar's face. If you really have unparalleled martial arts, how could you be hit by someone from the Five Poison Palace with a hidden weapon

"Of course... I am willing." Yang Ning could only say: "But my meridians...!"

"Don't worry, I will give you a massage every day for the past three days. After three days, you will be fine." Mu Lao said: "But if there are other accidents in the past three days, or you get lost in the mountains and can't see me, then you will be fine." No wonder I am." As soon as he finished speaking, Mu Lao's body suddenly shook, his whole body trembled, he raised his hand and said: "You... you go to the entrance of the cave and guard...!"

Yang Ning already knew at this time that the poison in Mu Lao's body was acting out in waves. Just now Mu Lao seemed to be safe and sound, but he didn't have an attack. At this time, the poison was obviously acting up.

He knew that he was not completely sure and could not take action easily. Otherwise, not only would he not be able to kill this old liar, but he would also be afraid of losing his life.

At this time, Mu Lao was sitting cross-legged, with the palms of his hands facing up, facing each other, and placed horizontally on his chest. Yang Ning returned to the entrance of the cave and leaned against the stone wall at the entrance. His heart started eighteen generations before Mu Lao. The scolding started and continued until the next eighteen generations.

Perhaps due to the continuous running these past few days, coupled with the torturous night, she was really exhausted. Leaning against the stone wall, Yang Ning fell asleep in a daze.

In his sleep, a girl of thirteen or fourteen stood among the flowers, smiling at herself. She was pretty and beautiful, more beautiful than flowers, and her watery eyes flickered like stars in the night sky. beauty.
