The Wuyi Sect is a top-notch sect in the Central Region. Among all the people at this moment, apart from Jianchou, only the Demon Sealing Sword Sect where Zhang Sui is located can be compared with it.
There are tens of millions of cultivators in the Nineteen Continents. Perhaps because Zhang Sui and Zhou Kuang were practicing in seclusion, they had never heard of Tao Zhang. However, Xu Lan'er was very clear about his background.
This person came like the wind and left without a trace. He only sighed "Yashan" for no apparent reason, which really left people puzzled.
However, Zhang Sui and Zhou Kuang had to admit that the word "Yashan" alone could bring up countless legends, stories, past events, and stories of the entire Nineteen Continents...
For a moment, just because of Tao Zhang's sigh of "Yashan", the two of them also felt melancholy.
After a long time, Zhang Sui slowly withdrew his gaze from the void, turned back to look at Jianchou, his expression suddenly became complicated again.
The woman in front of them was someone they met in the mortal world. She was someone who was casually pulled over by the three Fudao men to make up the numbers.
But she is also a disciple of Yashan.
Perhaps soon, her name will be engraved together with the many stories of the past, and become a legend among the monks of the Nineteen Continents...
Even though there have been great disasters, Yashan is still Yashan.
Zhang Sui had a hard time controlling the complicated thoughts in his mind, but Zhou Kuang was a single-minded person and didn't think too much. He saw that Chou was a little dazed, and he couldn't help but become more worried: "Senior sister, senior sister?"
Jianchou heard the voice, turned around, and forced a smile: "It's okay..."
"when!"
Suddenly there was a soft sound.
Jianchou's hand loosened, and the nine-section bamboo in his hand fell directly to the ground, hitting the reef with a crisp sound.
All the sense of crisis disappeared, and her already weak body could no longer support her.
Everything went dark before his eyes, and the last image in Jianchou’s mind was frozen on the boundless ocean.
Jianchou had a dream, the only dream he had since he was killed.
She was sitting in the farmyard, slowly sewing Xie Buchen's clothes, when she heard a baby crying in the room. So she quickly put down her needlework and walked into the inner room.
It still seems to be summer.
There are cicadas chirping outside the window, and the green trees lined up outside are very beautiful.
There was a simple rocking bed in front of the window, rocking gently.
Jianchou walked over, but suddenly stopped.
Because there was nothing in the crib.
But the whole house was still filled with the sound of the baby crying, clear and loud.
In the dream, Jianchou suddenly panicked, walked around, and shouted loudly, but he didn't know what he was shouting.
She couldn't find her child.
After searching inside and outside the house, she returned to the sewing room in a daze and saw the unfinished dress, the small rattle in the sewing basket, and...
Silver lock with red string.
At that moment, Jianchou suddenly felt the pain as if thousands of arrows pierced his heart, which was no less than the pain that Xie Buchen's sword pierced that day.
She woke up immediately and opened her eyes.
What came into her sight were the twinkling stars in the sky.
One after another, they are dotted in the dark blue night sky.
There is a fishy and salty smell in the air, it's the sea breeze.
When will it get dark again
She seemed to be lying on a very flat surface, and her body was not very uncomfortable, but she felt a soreness in all her limbs. Whenever she moved, it was as if thousands of needles were piercing deep into her body.
Jianchou wanted to sit up, but could not endure the pain and fell back.
Zhang Sui, who was standing not far in front, looked over and said, "You're awake!"
He walked over quickly and saw that Chou was about to get up. After hesitating for a moment, he leaned over and helped Chou up.
When Jianchou recognized him, he felt a splitting headache and his lips were extremely chapped.
"Where's Xiao Wan?"
Zhang Sui was stunned.
They had seen Chou confronting Tao Zhang before, with great momentum and not a bit of weakness. They thought Chou was fine, but she fainted as soon as Tao Zhang left. It turned out that she was just holding on.
I couldn't help but admire him a little bit.
What Zhang Sui didn't expect was that the first thing Jianchou asked when he woke up was to Nie Xiaowan.
He looked to the side.
Zhou Kuang's burly body was sitting cross-legged there, and Nie Xiaowan, with a pale face and petite body, was lying in front of him.
At this moment, a deep purple light slowly extended from Zhou Kuang's hand to Nie Xiaowan's body, hovering between her eyebrows and slowly rotating.
Jianchou could see beads of sweat on Zhou Kuang's forehead, as if maintaining such a posture was extremely difficult for him.
Zhang Sui's voice was calm but bitter: "Xu Lan'er injured her heart meridian with one blow, disrupting the flow of spiritual energy in her body, and she can't heal herself. My junior brother Zhou and I are too low in cultivation, so we can't do anything for now. We can only try our best to keep her injury stable, and wait until we return to the Nineteenth Continent to inform Wuwangzhai. Maybe her seniors in the sect will have a solution."
However, there was one thing Zhang Sui did not say.
That is, even if Nie Xiaowan could save his life, his cultivation would regress.
However, seeing that Chou was not in a good state, Zhang Sui couldn't bear to tell her.
Jianchou was silent for a long time before he said, "It will definitely happen."
She struggled to stand up, took a deep look at the unconscious Nie Xiaowan, and then looked around.
This was not the narrow reef where she fainted, but a huge island.
Now Jianchou was standing next to a small rock pool on the island, with a long rock under his feet. Because it was close to the pool, moss had already climbed up the rock and covered the surface. There were shallow marks on the moss, which were pressed down when Jianchou was lying here just now.
Further up on the ground, there were lines that were deeply sunken into the ground.
Jianchou recognized that it was a teleportation array, but there were a lot of rubble on it, as if it had been destroyed by someone.
"After Senior Sister Jianchou fainted, Junior Brother Zhou and I discussed it. At that time, we were not far from the Thirteenth Ascension Island, so we each took one, and brought Senior Sister Jianchou and Junior Sister Xiaowan to the Ascension Island together."
Zhang Sui slowly recounted what happened when Jianchou was unconscious.
"We thought that there was a formation left by our ancestors on Dengtian Island, and we also happened to have a teleportation talisman on us, so we could definitely return to the Nineteen Continents and seek help from our master. But we didn't expect..."
Jianchou withdrew his gaze from the teleportation array which was already quite old.
"I didn't expect that this teleportation array would be destroyed by someone, right?"
"yes… "
Zhang Sui looked at Jianchou and was actually a little surprised that she had such a quick mind.
He pulled something out of his sleeve, handed it to her, and said, "Junior Brother Zhou and I found some bloodstains and this thing next to the teleportation array."
In Jianchou's hand was a small piece of jade, smooth to the touch, with sharp edges.
"What's this?"
"It's a used teleportation talisman." Zhang Sui couldn't tell whether he felt frustrated or helpless at that moment, "It's a teleportation talisman from the Jianzhu Sect. Look at the lower right corner."
Bottom right corner
Jianchou lowered her eyes and moved her fingers slightly, then she saw the mark that she had blocked before.
The patterns on the two windows were exactly the same as the emblem she had seen on Xu Lan'er's clothes before.
"You mean, she fought with us, and after using some secret method to escape, she followed the previous route and actually got to Dengtian Island ahead of us. After using the teleportation array, she used a special method to destroy it?"
Fluctuations that occur during transmission will affect the final results of the transmission, and Jianchou has experienced this deeply.
"She should have used the formation to assist. Anyway, she teleported herself away first, and then destroyed the teleportation formation." Zhang Sui said in a heavy voice, "I guess she should have calculated that Junior Sister Xiaowan was seriously injured. Destroying the teleportation formation in this way is clearly an attempt to kill her..."
Heart as vicious as a snake.
Today Zhang Sui finally learned his lesson.
Everything has been said, and Jianchou should understand the current situation.
Zhang Sui suddenly lost all his energy.
Jianchou looked around the island and asked him, "Are there many people passing by this island?"
"Not many. We arrived at dusk, and no one has passed by yet." Zhang Sui shook his head. "Besides, it's useless to pass by. No one will be willing to take us, and no one should be able to repair the teleportation array."
The teleportation array is related to the laws of space and is not that simple.
As a result, Jianchou was suddenly speechless.
This island is obviously much larger than the previous Zhanye Island, and it is impossible to see the end of it at a glance.
There is no need to consider the possibility that there is a second teleportation array on the island. If Jianchou was Xu Lan'er, he would not make such a big mistake. If Jianchou was Zhang Sui, he would not ignore the possibility of saving his life.
She thought hard but couldn't come up with any solution.
"Ahem..."
A coughing sound was heard suddenly.
Jianchou and Zhang Sui looked at the same time when they heard the sound, but it was not Nie Xiaowan who had woken up, but Zhou Kuang who was coughing and getting up with difficulty.
"how's it going?"
Jianchou asked hurriedly.
Zhou Kuang came over, his face dark and heavy, and shook his head: "My cultivation is limited, I can't do anything. And... and her injuries are too serious, we can't delay any longer, we must return to the Nineteenth Continent as soon as possible to find someone to save her."
"… "
How easy is it to leave here and return to Nineteen Continents as soon as possible
Zhang Sui also felt bitter.
Jianchou's sorrowful gaze slowly passed across the faces of the two men and finally fell on Nie Xiaowan.
She still remembered the shyness of this girl when she first met her, her playfulness later, her shock when she learned that her innate fighting skill was ten feet, and her cuteness when she said Zuo Sanqian was a small meeting...
Now he lies here quietly, even his breathing is very weak.
Blinking, Jianchou slowly lowered his eyes and turned to face Zhou Kuang and Zhang Sui: "On this journey, Jianchou and the two junior brothers have never met each other, but I am fortunate to have your help. "
Zhang Sui frowned subconsciously.
Zhou Kuang didn't say anything.
They all knew that Jianchou should have something to say.
"But now Xiao Wan is seriously injured, and there is really no time to lose. Jianchou knows that with the two of you're cultivation levels, it should be safe for you to cross the sea and return to the Nineteenth Continent. But if you take two people with you, I'm afraid you won't be able to continue."
Jianchou's voice was soft and slow.
Zhou Kuang immediately realized what she was going to say: "Senior Sister Jianchou, we--"
The sound stopped abruptly.
Zhou Kuang turned around and put a hand on his shoulder. It was Zhang Sui. He shook his head at him.
Seeing this, Jianchou smiled slightly, and his heart suddenly lightened up. He said to the two of them, "However, I still want to embarrass you. Please take Xiaowan with you first. I heard you say earlier that the Thirteenth Island is very close to the Nineteenth Continent, so it should not be far. We are not sure when someone will come here, and we dare not gamble, let alone afford to gamble."
"What are you going to do?"
Even though Zhang Sui tried to stop him, Zhou Kuang couldn't help but asked directly.
Zhou Kuang’s cultivation is relatively low, so it would be very difficult for him to lead one person, but if it was Zhang Sui, there would be no problem.
But if they took Nie Xiaowan away, what would happen to Jianchou
"Now more than a day has passed, almost two days, and the time I agreed with my master is almost here."
Jianchou pointed at the nine-section bamboo lying on the ground and said, "I will be able to recover some strength after a rest, and use this to defend myself. Although the hidden world of Qingfeng Temple is dangerous, you all said that Yashan is powerful, so I believe that Master will not have any problems. I was going to wait for him here anyway, so I will not go to the Nineteen Continents with you."
After all the talk, it makes sense.
Jianchou's ability to protect himself should be safe.
Zhang Sui and Zhou Kuang had witnessed Jianchou using his Qi training to withstand Xu Lan'er's Lanyuan attack with his Nine-section Bamboo, but it was in a hurry. If Jianchou could recover, he would be able to handle ordinary dangers without any problem.
Zhang Sui and Zhou Kuang looked at each other and understood each other's thoughts.
——Zhou Kuang was convinced.
Seeing that neither of them spoke, Jianchou knew that her words had worked, so she smiled and said, "There is no time to lose, you guys go first."
"Can… "
Zhou Kuang always felt that leaving like this was not a manly act.
Zhang Sui, on the other hand, knew how to adapt and understood what Jianchou needed at the moment. He slapped a small bag on his waist, and when he stretched out his hand, five white jade stones and a yellow paper talisman lay in his palm.
"Please accept it, Senior Sister Jianchou."
"This is?"
Jianchou felt that the stone looked familiar.
Zhang Sui explained, "These are five low-grade spirit stones. Absorbing the spiritual energy contained in the spirit stones directly will be faster and purer than absorbing it through meditation. As for this paper talisman, it is called the Qianlei Talisman, which can emit a lightning strike for you to protect yourself."
…These are indeed what she needs most right now.
Jianchou needs to recover and needs something to protect himself in case of emergency.
She didn't act pretentiously. She generously reached out her hand, took the thing, and smiled at Zhang Sui: "Then I won't be polite."
When Zhou Kuang saw it, he slapped his forehead and said, "I have two here too, I'll give them to you!"
Two low-grade spirit stones were spread out in Zhou Kuang's hands.
Jianchou smiled and accepted it.
"Almost. This is the first time I have seen spirit stones, and there are so many of them. If I have the chance, I will definitely repay you."
"Sister Jianchou, you are too polite. It is us who should repay you." Zhang Sui hesitated for a moment, then took out another token from his waist and handed it to Jianchou, saying, "Please accept this one as well, Sister Jianchou."
Jianchou took it.
This is a token that seems to be made of ebony. There is a sword on the front and two seal characters engraved on the back, which means "Seal the Demon".
Zhang Sui said: "The Demon Sealing Sword Sect is in the Nineteenth Continent, so it dare not be compared with Yashan. But Yashan is a big tree that attracts the wind. If you use the name of Yashan, you may cause unnecessary trouble. If, if there is no news from the mountain people, and someone passes by the island, it will be better for you to take the token of the Demon Sealing Sword Sect."
Really thoughtful.
Jianchou was a little surprised. She raised her eyes and looked at Zhang Sui carefully. He was still silent and seemed to be taciturn.
But what I just said was even more than what I said in the previous few days.
Jianchou clenched the token and nodded slowly: "I understand."
Only then did Zhang Sui feel relieved and started to relax.
He walked over, carefully picked up Nie Xiaowan who was still lying on the ground, and summoned the sword with its sheath, which floated beside him.
Zhou Kuang also threw away his axe and stepped on it.
Jianchou knew they were leaving, so he just stood there and watched.
Zhang Sui was about to go up, but before leaving, he turned back and stared at Jianchou.
Jianchou was surprised: "What else?"
Zhang Sui hesitated for a while, but finally asked, "Does Senior Sister Jianchou have a Taoist partner?"
"Daoist companion?"
What does this mean
She didn't quite understand.
Zhou Kuang, who had risen into the air nearby, nearly fell down. After he finally stabilized himself, he stared at Zhang Sui with a look of a beast.
Zhang Sui, however, was not aware of anything.
After hearing Jianchou's doubts, he was stunned for a moment, and then smiled softly: "I know."
After saying that, he picked up Nie Xiaowan and flew into the air on his sword.
"Take care, Senior Sister Jianchou."
Jianchou watched them leave. The two rays of light from the magic weapons disappeared into the dark sky one after another.
She blinked: "What is a Taoist partner?"
Feeling weak, she sat down on the meter-long stone slab again. She could smell the astringent taste of the moss.
At this moment, it seemed to be the second half of the night. There were many mayflies flying above the stream, like a group of dust particles, transparent and tiny.
A newborn mayfly slowly flapped its transparent wings and landed on the green nine-section bamboo next to Jianchou, lying motionless.
