The figure was dressed in gray clothes and had a mask and a hood. He was the man in gray who later caught up with the white monkey.
Qi Ning saw that the man was moving very fast and was already close in front of him in the blink of an eye. He did not hesitate and stabbed him with the knife. He thought that the man would dodge when he stabbed with the knife. However, he didn't know that the man came forward with his palms and separated them from left to right. Let Qining's long sword pierce his heart.
Qi Ning was greatly surprised, thinking to himself, could this man just want to die? It was a matter of life and death, and he was not polite. He saw the long knife about to pierce the man's heart, but when he saw the man's left and right palms suddenly crossed inward, he heard a "choking" sound, and the big knife in Qining's hand was actually struck by that man's heart. People's palms were broken all the time.
Qi Ning was horrified. There was a strange color in the man's eyes, but he still moved forward. He slapped Qi Ning's face with one palm, and slapped Qi Ning's chest with the other palm. Qi Ning knew this in his heart. The man was very skilled in martial arts, so he immediately took two steps back, broke the knife in his hand and threw it at the man fiercely.
The man in gray spit out his palm force, and before the broken knife got close to his body, it was knocked away by the palm force, and then he continued to press forward.
This body technique is so fast. Although Qining moves quickly, he is carrying a person on his body, so his speed is half a beat slower. If he wants to dodge, the palm of the man in gray is already in front of him.
Qi Ning had no choice but to clap a palm to meet the opponent. He was still using the Yanyang God's palm. When their palms met, Qi Ning felt a tyrannical palm force surge. Then, the true energy in his body naturally generated corresponding power, protecting his heart and internal organs from damage.
Just this palm hit, his whole body was shaken instantly, and his body took several steps back. It was indescribably uncomfortable. He was afraid that the man in gray would strike again with his palm, so he yelled, put his feet down and ran towards the horses. .
The man in gray exchanged palms with Qi Ning, but also took two steps back, with a look of surprise in his eyes. He obviously didn't expect that Qi Ning's internal strength was so strong. Just as he was about to catch up, his body suddenly shook. , raised his hand and looked at his palm, with a look of horror in his eyes, and said sternly: "Don't let them escape!"
Qi Ning had already rushed out of the circle at this time, and the people behind him immediately rushed to catch up. Everyone heard shouts and shouts. Qi Ning kicked his feet, jumped up, and landed on the back of a horse. He fell I didn't expect that after being betrayed, I could jump on the horse so easily. I knew that in dangerous moments, my potential burst out.
He grabbed the horse's reins and turned around the horse's head. The crowd shouted and chased after him. The horses were frightened and scattered in all directions. For a moment, they blocked the group of people. Qining had already urged the horse to leave. It was late at night. , he remembered the way he came, and galloped over there. After running for a while, there was the pine forest in front of him. Without hesitation, he urged his horse into the pine forest.
Hearing the neighing of the horses behind him, he looked back and saw that the group of people were already chasing after them on horseback.
Hearing that there was no movement from Xiang Baiying behind him, he asked: "Uncle Xiang, how are you? Can you hold on?" But he didn't hear Xiang Baiying's reply. He looked back and saw that Xiang Baiying's face was pale. , his eyes were closed, his teeth were clenched, and his body was swaying. If he hadn't wrapped one hand behind his back, Xiang Baiying would have fallen off his horse.
At this time, there was no time to stop and look at Baiying's situation. The horse was rushing quickly, and the distance between the people behind him was not too far away, so he could clearly hear the sound of chasing.
Not long after, when he saw that he was about to turn onto the road, Qining turned around and hugged Xiang Baiying, jumped off the horse, but the horse did not stop and continued to gallop forward. Qining hugged Xiang Baiying. After the shadow fell to the ground, he quickly walked over to the grass on the side. Under the moonlight, he saw the figures of the group of people behind him and immediately lay down in the grass.
More than a dozen horses came galloping over, and they didn't notice Qining holding Xiang Baiying and hiding in the grass. They all flew by on horseback. When the group of people ran past and lost sight of their figures, Qining immediately carried Xiang Baiying on his back. , and galloped towards the south. He was afraid that the group of people would see the empty horse turning back, and would not stop for a moment. Fortunately, he was pure and honest, and he ran for more than ten miles in one breath. His feet finally became a little weak and slowed down. With the speed of my feet, I raised my hand to wipe the sweat from my forehead. The night wind blew by. It was extremely quiet all around, with grass and trees and undulating mountains. For a moment, I didn't know where I was.
Xiang Baiying has not yet woken up. Although he has run more than ten miles, Qining does not dare to stop and only goes to those rugged and difficult places.
After walking for another ten miles, the path had already disappeared. When he reached a mountain col, he suddenly heard a roaring sound. He looked up and saw a waterfall in front of him through the moonlight. He was feeling His mouth was thirsty, so he carried Xiang Baiying on his back and carefully placed Xiang Baiying on a rock. Then he went over and took a drink of water. He saw that the cowhide bag was still hanging on Xiang Baiying's waist. He walked over and took off the cowhide wine bag. , there was only a small half bag of wine left in it, so he took the wine bag and filled it up, then returned to Xiang Baiying, helped him sit up, and fed him water.
Xiang Baiying opened his eyes slightly, drank some water, and Qining washed his face with water. Xiang Baiying's face finally recovered a little color, smiled slightly, and said: "Today... thank you very much for today...!" "He used to speak with full force and a strong voice, but now he is weak.
Qi Ning asked hurriedly: "Uncle Xiang, you... are you feeling better now? I don't know if I have left those guys behind. Who are they?"
Xiang Baiying shook his head slightly and said: "I injured my internal veins and it will be difficult to recover for a while."
"You... you hurt your inner veins?" Qi Ning was startled and asked anxiously: "Yes... who hurt you? Is it those guys?"
Xiang Baiying said: "I was poisoned, and the meridians in my Dantian were sealed by the medicinal properties. I couldn't... I couldn't move my energy. When I was chased by these people, I could only... I could only change my veins through the Yi Jing, and barely activate my internal energy. That's all. Once it activates its internal veins, its internal strength will not last long." Although he was seriously injured, he still laughed and said: "If it weren't for this, I'm afraid I would have become the target of those people before I could wait for you to come over. The ghost."
Only then did Qi Ning realize that Xiang Baiying had fainted just now, possibly due to an injury to his internal veins, and asked, "How can I help you recover?"
"The change of pulse in the I Ching is unusual. It cannot be restored by medicine." Xiang Baiying said: "I need to rest for two or three months, maybe I can recover."
Qi Ning was shocked. With the cultivation level of a master like Xiang Baiying, it would take two or three months to recover, which shows how seriously he was hurt.
He also understood at this time that although Xiang Baiying desperately resisted the method of changing the veins of the Yi Jing, it was a forced choice. It seems that Xiang Baiying had already made plans to die in the wilderness at that time.
Qi Ning secretly thought that if he wanted to rest for two or three months, he would naturally have to find an extremely safe place, and the news that Xiang Baiying was injured really couldn't be spread. People's hearts are sinister, and the undercurrents in the world are surging. The group of people just now were attacked by Xiang Baiying. If Baiying escapes, he will never give up. He will definitely try his best to find Xiang Baiying. If people with ulterior motives in the world know that Xiang Baiying is injured, they may cause another wave of trouble.
"Uncle Xiang, take a rest and I'll take you to the Beggar Clan." Qining said: "Those people will not give up. As long as we get to the Beggar Clan and are protected by the Beggar Clan, there will be nothing they can do."
Xiang Baiying laughed, but said with emotion: "That man saved my life back then. I didn't expect that twenty years later, you saved my life again. Hehe, interesting, interesting...!"
"Ah?" Qi Ning couldn't understand for a moment, "That person? Uncle Xiang, who are you talking about?"
Xiang Baiying shook his head, took a small breath, and suddenly frowned, and spit out a mouthful of blood with a "Wow" sound. Qi Ning was shocked, and hurriedly supported Xiang Baiying, shook his head with a wry smile, and said, "It seems so. It's really not possible. Now I can't even raise a trace of true energy. Hehe, Xiang learned martial arts at the age of six and practiced internal strength at the age of eight. It has been more than thirty years now and he has never experienced such a situation. Now he is even a useless person. Not really."
There was a bit of loneliness in his words, and Qin Ning could understand his state of mind at this time. After all, Xiang Baiying was one of the few top masters in the world. He had been in the world for half his life and was majestic. But now he can't even think of an ordinary person. I can't even match my strength, so naturally I feel a little disappointed.
"Uncle Xiang, don't be anxious. Once you get to the Beggar Clan and rest for a few months, you will be back to normal." Qining said, "None of those guys can escape tonight."
Xiang Baiying smiled and looked up at the bright moon in the sky, thoughtfully.
Qi Ning asked softly: "Uncle Xiang, you...how could you be poisoned? Even the Poison King of Jiuxi wouldn't dare to poison you. Who else in the world can poison you?"
Xiang Baiying curled his eyes slightly, smiled faintly, and said nothing.
Qi Ning felt strange. Seeing that Xiang Baiying seemed unwilling to say more, he secretly wondered what the leader of the gang was thinking about. Just as he was wondering, he suddenly saw Xiang Baiying stretch out a hand, and there was something between his two fingers. Holding a piece of paper, Qining was startled when he saw Xiang Baiying nodding slightly towards him. He understood, took the note, and opened it. Under the moonlight, he found that there was no writing on the note, only a Half a month, a long line was on top of the moon-shaped pattern. The shape was weird. Qining couldn't see the mystery for a moment and looked confused.
"This is the agreement Suying and I made when we were young." Xiang Baiying still looked up at the moon and said softly: "Her father passed away and entrusted her to the Xiang family. When she first arrived at the Xiang family, Suying... Suying was very... Being timid may seem to her like being dependent on others, and everything she does depends on people's looks."
Qi Ning said "Oh" and didn't say much. He thought that it was drawn by Mrs. Lu. He took another look and found that although it was just a very strange shape, the handwriting was beautiful and it was really written by a woman.
"That Spring Festival, many relatives came to the house. Some children were naughty. When they saw Suying drawing, they went over to provoke her and even snatched her paintbrush." Xiang Baiying recalled the past, but there was a hint of laughter on his lips. With a faint smile: "I saw it from the side, so I went over and beat the children. When I saw her drawing a moon on the paper, I picked up the pen and added this line, and told her that if someone bullies her in the future, , No matter where I am in the world, as long as I see this picture, I will rush to her side to protect her. The moon is her, and I add a stroke on it, just like if it helps her hold up the sky."
