There was a flute.
Nan Yan thought she had heard it wrong, so she widened her eyes, held her breath, and listened carefully again.
It's the flute.
On the surface of the lake, a flute sound suddenly floated over!
All the people froze when they heard the sudden sound of the flute, especially those men in black who were originally ferocious, who were about to pounce forward with swords in their hands, but they all stopped when they heard the sound.
They subconsciously looked at the man in black who had just given orders.
The man in black looked back.
In his eyes, there was a frustrated but fierce expression.
Gritting his teeth, he said, "Damn it, why is it here at this time."
"..."
"withdraw!"
Nan Yan's eyes widened in shock.
These people actually withdrew like that.
They quickly swam to the side of the empty boat that had just slid over, and several people jumped onto the side of the boat, and quickly rowed the boat away.
Nan Yan still looked at the black shadow in the mist with some anxiety, and it gradually went away.
However, the sound of the flute was getting closer.
Who is this
What happened that night made them terrified. Nan Yan still held on to the dagger in his hand, listening to Zhu Feng's heavier and heavier breathing behind him, his breath was hot, and when it blew past his ears, he seemed to be in a coma. fire.
Ye Zheng and Ran Xiaoyu also stepped on the water out of breath, holding the bamboo pole in their hands tightly.
Everyone, staring at the direction of the flute sound.
Another burst of mist and confusion.
A dark figure slowly emerged from the mist.
It was faintly visible that it was a boat, and there seemed to be a thin figure standing on the boat.
The sound of the flute was played by that person.
As he got closer, he could almost see the figure wearing a gray robe. He slowly put down the flute in his hand and faced them.
He raised a hand, saluted them, and said in a loud voice—
"Immeasurable Heavenly Venerable."
They were all taken aback.
As for Nan Yan, she also clearly felt Zhu Feng behind her, and her breath suddenly sank.
So, he turned out to be a Taoist priest? !
Widening his eyes, he saw that the ship passed through the fog and sailed in front of them. The person standing at the bow was really a Taoist priest in gray robes.
He was older, with a gray beard and wrinkled face.
However, those eyes looked very young.
Although the bodies of several people were in a state of embarrassment and even stained with blood, when he looked down at them, his eyes were so pure, as if he had also driven away all the filth on their bodies.
Nan Yan subconsciously said: "You—"
Before she could finish speaking, she suddenly felt her breathing stop behind her.
And the chest that was close to his back slowly moved away, and the hand that was holding his waist also fell down softly.
Nan Yan looked back and saw that Zhu Feng's face was pale and his eyes were closed.
The whole person, like a puppet with a broken thread, fell down.
"No!"
Nan Yan hurriedly reached out to grab his hand, but at this moment she couldn't hold him back at all, and she was dragged into the water.
Ye Zheng and Ran Xiaoyu also hurried over.
When the old Taoist priest at the bow saw it, he said to the Taoist priest rowing on the boat, "Save me."
Only then did they see clearly that there were still a few Taoist priests sitting on the boat, and when they heard the old Taoist speak, they jumped into the water and swam over to help them pick up Zhu Feng from the water and rescue them onto the boat.
Then, the ship slowly turned around and headed towards where they came from.
|
The morning bell was ringing.
Nan Yan was originally leaning on the bedpost at the head of the bed, drowsy, but when she heard the sound of the morning bell, she immediately cheered up again.
Looking down, Zhu Feng was still awake.
His lips were pale, and because of the high fever, there was an abnormal blushing on his face.
Nan Yan let out a deep breath, stretched out her hand, and gently touched his hand.
Last night, she was rescued from the water by those Taoist priests, and then quickly sailed to this island in their boat, because everything happened too fast, and Zhu Feng was unconscious, which made her very tormented , she didn't even have time to ask who those Taoist priests were.
All I know is that this is an island.
On the island, there is a mountain.
On the mountainside is the Taoist temple they are in now.
After entering the Taoist temple, I found that there were quite a few people here, and they all came up to help. Among them, the one who played the flute scared away the old Taoists of the group of men in black. hurt.
So, he took off the bandage on his hand.
At that moment, Nan Yan almost passed out.
Before, no matter whether it was Zhu Feng or Ye Zheng, they simply said that he was injured, so she didn't think much about it, and when she took off the bandage, she found that his palm had been pierced!
And yesterday, he had been working, including the night, to protect her with that injured hand.
Fight in water.
The wound festered and festered, it was horrible!
The old Taoist helped him treat the wound, applied medicine, and re-bandaged it, but the high fever caused by the suppuration of the wound never subsided.
Throughout the night, worrying that he would be uncomfortable, Nan Yan kept trying to stay by his side.
At this time, there were some noises outside.
It should be that the Taoist priests of this Taoist temple heard the bell and started to get up and move.
Nan Yan cautiously walked to the window, pushed the window open a crack, looked at the figures passing by outside, and frowned involuntarily.
Although being rescued was a good thing for them, this Taoist temple seemed a little strange.
This was also the reason why she didn't dare to close her eyes and stayed by Zhu Feng's side all night.
After all, this is Xingluo Lake.
Why is there a Taoist temple in an inaccessible place that is not marked on the map
And it looks like it's not small.
Who were those men in black last night and why did they attack them? This is something Nan Yan has never figured out.
And these Taoist priests, who are they
Why did those vicious men in black retreat as soon as they appeared
Although this is a Taoist temple, a quiet place for monks, everything is too weird, and Nan Yan has to be vigilant.
After all, Zhu Feng had fallen ill.
She can no longer have any mistakes.
At this moment, she heard footsteps coming from a distance and walked to the door.
Then, there was a knock on the door.
"lady."
This voice was the old Taoist priest who saved them last night.
Nan Yan walked over to open the door, only to see the old Taoist bowed his hands to her and said, "Wuliang Tianzun."
Nan Yan said softly: "Master Taoist."
The old man said with a smile: "Breakfast is already set over there, madam, why don't you go and use some?"
Nan Yan thought for a while, then looked back at Zhu Feng who was still unconscious.
She smiled and shook her head.
"I'm not hungry yet."
The old man looked at her with clear eyes: "Madam, you don't want to leave the wounded."
