A Clash of Gods

Chapter 27: Burn the scroll

Views:

In the light of the fire, Yang Ning saw clearly that this place turned out to be a dilapidated ancestral hall. It seemed that many people should have lived near this place, but it was later abandoned for some reason.

The statue originally enshrined in the ancestral hall had fallen down from the pedestal, broken into several pieces, and was covered with thick dust and cobwebs. It was not clear which deity it was.

However, this platform is quite high, above Yang Ning's chest, and is made of stones. It seems that a lot of effort was put into building the ancestral hall.

There was no pot or bowl in his hand, so Yang Ning searched for a moment before finding an incense burner among the ruins. It should have been used for sacrifices. It was extremely dirty. When he went outside, he washed it carefully with rainwater. It was still not very clean, so he could only wash it with rainwater. So, I caught half of the rainwater from the stove, took it back, put it on the fire and burned it.

He went over and took Xiao Guang's clothes and put them by the fire to dry. He thought to himself that I have done my best to you. If you hadn't met me, the most good person in the world, your little life would have been repaid. .

Suddenly, he thought that the horse was still outside. He was eager to bring Xiao Guang in first. After struggling for a long time, he actually forgot that the horse was not tied up yet.

He hurriedly ran out, his heart sank. He saw that the horse had disappeared. He searched around the ancestral hall and found no trace of the horse. He was very angry and secretly worried about how he could be like this. I was negligent and wanted to find the horse, but on this rainy night, where could I go to find it? I returned to the ancestral hall with a lot of anger. I saw Xiao Guang lying quietly, thinking that if I hadn't saved you, I wouldn't have lost him. Ma, I can't wait to pull Xiao Guang up and beat him up.

When the water in the incense burner warmed up, Yang Ning took the incense burner away and let it dry for a while to test the temperature of the water. Then he helped Xiao Guang up and brought the warm water close to his mouth. Xiao Guang's eyes were half-opened and he fell over. He also opened his mouth, took a few sips, and then shook his head slightly. Yang Ning let him lie down, pulled a piece off Xiao Guang's wet clothes, poured the remaining hot water from the incense burner on it, and then applied it On Xiao Guang's forehead.

The sound of wind and rain outside the house has become much quieter. I don't know what time it is at this time. Yang Ning also feels a little tired. He is about to lie down by the fire to rest for a while. Suddenly, he feels a stabbing pain in his heart, and then his heart He jumped up and down, and the meridians on his chest seemed to be shaking and twitching.

Yang Ning covered her chest. The stinging pain intensified and weakened as her meridians twitched. Cold sweat soon broke out on Yang Ning's forehead, but she was horrified in her heart: "Could it be the injury?"

Mu Shenjun injured Yang Ning's meridians with a dead wood hand and had an attack, but Yang Ning did not feel any discomfort after that.

After Mu Shenjun was drained of his internal energy and died that day, Yang Ning was once worried that no one could solve his injuries. However, in the past two days, there were no changes in the meridians in his body, and Yang Ning almost forgot that he was injured.

At this moment, the meridians in the mouth of his heart stung again, and Yang Ning immediately thought of Lord Mu Shen.

The pain this time was obviously much stronger than the first time. Yang Ning was in agony, dizzy, and his whole body was sore and weak. He rolled on the ground, hoping to reduce the pain.

Breathing hard, Yang Ning's vision gradually became blurry, and her mind went blank.

When he woke up again, he found that he was lying on the ground, surrounded by silence. He sat up and found that the bonfire beside him had become much dim. Then he realized that he had fainted from pain, and the wood in the fire was almost completely burned.

Yang Ning raised her hand and touched her chest, and the tingling feeling disappeared.

He casually picked up a few pieces of dead wood and threw them on the fire. At this time, he also discovered that the wet clothes on his body had dried up a lot after being baked by the fire for a long time.

Suddenly, a murmuring voice was heard from Xiao Guang's side: "Sir, let's go... let's go...!"

Yang Ning looked over and saw Xiao Guang huddled in the hay, but his face was paler than before and seemed to be much rosier. He moved over and took away the cloth from his forehead and checked his body temperature. It was lower than before. It's a lot, but it's still a little hot.

"Sir, you don't have to... don't worry about me...!" Xiao Guang's body shook slightly and he said intermittently: "You... you go first...!"

Yang Ning thought to herself that you are really a loyal guy, and you still think about others in your sleep.

He felt that the "sir" in Xiao Guang's mouth was probably the elder in brown robe. Xiao Guang called him sir. This made Yang Ning even more strange and couldn't figure out what the relationship between the two was.

Hearing a scream of "ah", Xiao Guang suddenly sat up. Under the firelight, Xiao Guang's face was pale, his head was sweating profusely, and his eyes were filled with horror.

Yang Ning knew that he was awakened by a nightmare. He sat by the fire and stared at Xiao Guang without saying a word.

Xiao Guang woke up with a start. He first saw the fire in front of him and raised his hand to wipe the cold sweat from his face. His eyelids were drooped and he looked confused. He said vaguely: "This... where is this?" Just after he finished speaking, The body lay down again. Before Yang Ning could speak, the boy's eyes had been closed.

Although the wind and rain outside have become lighter, it still keeps falling.

Yang Ning leaned on the stone platform behind him, reached into his arms, touched it, and took out the Liuhe magic scroll. After struggling with it for a long time, the scroll was damaged in several places, but this was already very rare.

After all, along the way, he fell into a puddle, struggled in the wind and rain, and even had a fight with Xiao Guang in the mud. Most of the scroll was still intact. The material used to make the scroll was indeed not bad.

He scanned it again from beginning to end, and he had memorized the eleven red line meridians.

Mu Shenjun died inexplicably that day, and Yang Ning didn't think much about it. But now that he thought about it carefully, he knew that Mu Shenjun's death should have something to do with Liuhe Magic.

Mu Shenjun is extremely skilled in martial arts. Compared with him, he is like a sheep and a tiger. In the end, the tiger died in the hands of the sheep. It seems unbelievable, but there must be a reason, and the only possibility is Liuhe. Magical power.

He also remembered that when Mu Shenjun invaded his body with his internal force, he had no choice but to follow the red line on his shoulder and guide the internal force into the Tanzhong point in his Dantian. This was probably the source of Mu Shenjun's death. It means that I had already used the Liuhe magic skill in a daze at that time.

He still remembered that when Mu Shenjun was crazy that day, he suspected that Liuhe Magic was fake, and later claimed that it took him two years to obtain this scroll.

Judging from later clues, it is speculated that this scroll probably came from the Five Poison Palace. Mu Shenjun obtained the Liuhe Divine Art from the Five Poison Palace through unknown means, but was followed and killed by the people from the Five Poison Palace.

It's just that after Mu Shenjun practiced the Liuhe Divine Art, his body seemed to have changed.

What Yang Ning was confused about was that since Mu Shenjun had practiced the Liuhe Magic Technique, didn't he know the mystery of the Liuhe Magic Technique? How could he die so easily under the Liuhe Magic Technique

I just remembered the flow of the red lines on the scroll, but in a critical moment, how could I use the Liuhe magic skill so easily? Could it be that he vaguely guided his internal energy along the meridians into the Tanzhong point in his Dantian, which was the secret of the Liuhe magic technique

There were many questions in his mind, but it was difficult to solve them for a while, but he also knew that the Liuhe magic scroll in his hand might be a disaster.

The name "Five Poison Palace" does not sound like a good thing at first sight. Since they can pursue Lord Namu to retrieve the Liuhe Divine Art at all costs, they will not give up easily. If this scroll is left in their hands, it is inevitable that it will not be used by others. Seeing that I already knew the flow of the meridians very well, there was no need to keep it in my hands to cause trouble.

He raised his hand and was about to throw the scroll into the fire, but then he thought that Mu Shenjun would take the scroll back from him at all costs. It stands to reason that Mu Shenjun must be well aware of the meridians on the scroll, but he still wanted to I took the scroll back because there is something fishy in it

Yang Ning couldn't help but check it over and over again several times. She really couldn't see anything fishy. She also thought that Mu Shenjun was obsessed with practicing martial arts, so she had to find a way to save her from the scroll. She didn't have any. When you practice this magical skill of Liuhe, you will naturally not go crazy.

On the contrary, I kept this picture scroll, just in case I found out what it was like, and when I started practicing, I would be as crazy as Lord Mu Shen, which would be great.

Since it is the source of disaster, it is better to nip it in the bud as early as possible.

He was a free and easy person, so he threw the scroll in his hand into the fire. Soon, the entire scroll was reduced to ashes in the flames.

After the scroll was burned, Yang Ning felt relieved all over. He thought to himself that only Mu Shenjun knew that the scroll was in his hands, but the only insider was now dead. In addition, the scroll was burned, and without this thing in his hand, the world would be confused. No one else will ever know that they have had contact with the Liuhe Divine Art.

He leaned against the stone platform and closed his eyes, and fell asleep for a while. When he opened his eyes again, he found that it was already dawn. He looked towards Xiao Guang. This kid's face was quite rosy and he seemed to have slept well. .

Yang Ning got up, reached the door, and stretched. Not far away was the green bamboo forest. The wind and rain had stopped. After the rain, a layer of mist floated over the bamboo forest. It was like a misty fairyland. It was really beautiful. It is beautiful, the fragrance of bamboo that comes with the wind is mixed with the smell of earth after the rain, but it also makes people feel relaxed and relaxed.

Yang Ning's mood suddenly improved, and then she thought that her horse was lost and she could only walk towards the capital. She felt a little frustrated. When she returned to the ancestral hall, the fire had already been extinguished. Yang Ning knelt down next to Xiao Guang and saw that he still had his eyes closed. He said softly: "Xiao, I can only help you here, and I am doing my best. I have other things to do, so I can't stay here and delay. No matter what, you have to rely on yourself next. I only hope that you can turn the crisis around." ." He sighed and said to himself: "I wanted to ask this guy for some reward, but it seems I can't do it."

He stood up and was about to leave when he heard Xiao Guang's weak voice: "Where are you going?" Xiao Guang had already woken up.

Yang Ning was startled, glanced down, and immediately smiled: "You kid, you woke up? I thought you would never survive again."

"If I die, won't your work be in vain?" Xiao Guang was weak and had opened his eyes slightly, "Did you save me?"

"Nonsense." Yang Ning rolled his eyes, "I mean Xiao Guang, you have to thank me properly. If it weren't for me, you would definitely die. Well, for the sake of our acquaintance, you can just give me a few One hundred taels of silver, if there is no cash, what kind of jewelry can be used to compensate for it? It's nothing to say, right? You won't tell me that you have nothing on you, right? If that's the case, we won't even be friends. "
