The evening breeze came slowly, blowing the black hair on Zhan Ning'er's forehead and disturbing her heart.
She stared at Ye Xiaotian for a long time, then suddenly lowered her head, and stammered: "It's time for me to go back to Shuixi. Since you want to travel around the world, where can't you go? If you come to Shuixi. I... I know that people sing It's not good, I must... must practice a song well, and when you come to Shuixi, I will sing it for you. Only for... you alone... "
The girl's thoughts have been expressed so clearly, yet so implicitly. Zhan Ning'er does not have an inherently tactful character, but in this situation, she can't help but show it naturally. The girl's shyness contains infinite affection.
And Ye Xiaotian is really an idiot in the love field. Although he is usually smooth-tongued, he seems to be very experienced, but he has no experience in the relationship between men and women. He confessed his thoughts so clearly, but what he imagined in his mind It is a singing voice that is even more lethal.
"Oh my God! I shouldn't have let her sing at all. Shuixi can't go, I should not go. My top priority is to quickly find a wife and have a son. Time is running out..."
Zhan Ning'er saw that Ye Xiaotian was silent and thought he understood her intentions, so she lowered her head even more, and became more shy and indescribable. If she knew what Ye Xiaotian was thinking at this moment, she might either kick him off the temple with a flying kick, or grab his ear and shout: "You are a fool who rides a donkey looking for a donkey!"
Ye Xiaotian was hesitating and not knowing how to answer, when Hua Yunfei and Mao Wenzhi suddenly walked over, followed by Godewa. Hua Yunfei's expression was as usual, but Mao Wenzhi rushed up to Ye Xiaotian as soon as he saw Ye Xiaotian, crying, "Brother, bugs, there are bugs..."
Ye Xiaotian heard the insect's expression change, jumped up, looked around in horror: "Where is it, where is it?" Speaking of this, Ye Xiaotian suddenly remembered that he had drank "mosquito incense" and was not afraid of insects. Go first, I will cover!"
Mao Wenzhi wept, pointed at his stomach and said, "Brother, how can I get away! The bug is in my stomach, so it will go if I go."
Ye Xiaotian wondered, "You mean roundworms?"
Mao Wenzhi spoke upside down, and Gedwa wanted him to explain himself, but hearing what they said became more and more shameful, so he coughed and stepped forward and said, "Your Majesty, don't worry, I just gave them a kind of Gu insect." , as long as you return to the temple every year to get a elixir, you can suppress the attack of Gu worms, and nothing will happen."
Ye Xiaotian said in shock: "Why are you giving them Gu poison?"
Ge Dewa said: "The Venerable is determined not to let the temple send warrior guards, but in this way, how do we know the whereabouts of the Venerable? If the Venerable is in danger, who will rescue him? There must always be a few loyal and reliable people around You can rest assured that you come to serve us, but in desperation, we have no choice but to make a bad move."
Having said this, Godewa smiled again: "Although the strong are more powerful, the Gu poison is not unsolvable, but the Gu poisoned by this elder is the most troublesome method used, and the world can solve this Gu poison." They are unique, hehe, so we can feel relieved to have them by His Holiness' side."
"Don't worry? I think you are farting!" Ye Xiaotian was furious, grabbed Gedeva by the collar, and threatened: "You detoxify them immediately, or believe it or not, I will kill you!"
He believed what Godewa said, of course the Gu God Sect did not want their venerable to die, even if this venerable was a bit out of tune, it would be more beneficial to keep him there than to let him die.
Gu God Sect has been passed down for more than 1,500 years. Among the previous venerables, few traveled around the world after ascending to the throne, because most of them were chosen from the elders, and most of the elders were disciples. They have traveled all over the world since then, but they also have to take into account that if His Holiness encounters an accidental sudden death outside.
Most people who are good at using Gu are also good at medicine. The so-called acclimatization, miasma, and disease caused death can basically be ignored, but it is inevitable when encountering military chaos. If the Venerable dies suddenly, they must have a set of countermeasures, such as It is said that the venerable was tempted by the world of mortals and no longer pious to the Gu God, so he was punished.
But in any case, since it is the heir selected by the Gu God, this explanation also shows that the Gu God does not know people, and it will still have a certain influence on their prestige, so no one wants to have such a situation, because the Gu God The teacher took great pains for Ye Xiaotian's safety.
But Gedwa poisoned Hua Yunfei and Mao Wenzhi for another purpose: They were worried that Ye Xiaotian would not want to be the venerable, and would simply run away after leaving the Gu God Sect, or even hide their names, so their supernatural powers would be useless I went to find it.
Through this period of contact, especially Ye Xiaotian's willingness to risk himself for the irrelevant Yaoyao, these old and cunning elders saw that Ye Xiaotian was a person of great affection, so they wanted to use Hua Yunfei and Mao Wenzhi as his bonds , as long as these two people are tied, Ye Xiaotian is not afraid of running away.
Ye Xiaotian really once thought of running away, but he didn't want Gedwa to tie him up in such a way, of course he became angry from embarrassment.
Ge Dewa was grabbed by the collar by Ye Xiaotian, but he was not stunned, and replied with a smile: "I believe it! In fact, if the lord wants to kill me, you don't need to do it. You just need to give me an order, and the subordinate will immediately jump from the top of the temple." Go on. The old man is getting old, so it doesn’t matter if he dies a few years earlier, as long as the venerable can care about the divine religion, Deva will have no regrets in dying.”
Ye Xiaotian immediately lost his temper, this old hooligan was playing a rogue with him, he really couldn't help it, could it really force this old guy to death
Godewa smiled and straightened his clothes, bowed to Ye Xiaotian, and said: "If the Venerable has no other orders, then the subordinate will leave. The Venerable does not allow the warriors to follow, and the subordinates dare not disobey orders, but as a Your lord, if you don’t know a little bit of Gu art, it’s a little shameful to say it out. You still need someone who will accompany you to travel the world and teach him Gu art. This subordinate will arrange a suitable person for you, and I’ll leave. !"
Gedwa turned and left with a smile, Mao Wenzhi said with tears in his eyes, "Brother, I have worms in my stomach... what should I do?"
Ye Xiaotian said angrily: "Just treat it as a roundworm, and it won't kill you."
Mao Wenzhi said: "Oh! I'm afraid it doesn't look like roundworms. In fact, roundworms are already very disgusting. If they don't, brother, I'm not afraid of anything else, but insects."
Ye Xiaotian rolled his eyes at him, and said apologetically to Hua Yunfei: "I didn't expect Godewa to do this, I'm really sorry for you."
Hua Yunfei smiled and said: "Brother Ye, you don't have to be so polite with me. Ever since you helped me avenge my parents, Yunfei has made up his mind to follow my brother for the rest of my life. Now I have a good reason, Brother, if you want to drive me away, you won’t even succeed.”
Ye Xiaotian put his hand on his shoulder and squeezed it emotionally. Mao Wenzhi touched his stomach and said sadly: "I also want to follow my brother, eat and drink, and don't have to go to jail. I just don't want to have worms in my stomach..."
Zhan Ning'er looked at these three live treasures, and was about to persuade them a few words, when Bao Weng ran over quickly with a few people, when he saw Ye Xiaotian, Bao Weng greeted Ye Xiaotian with a happy face, and said a few words excitedly . Ye Xiaotian said blankly, "What did you say?"
One of Bao Weng's warriors stood up and was about to translate for him, but Zhan Ning'er was already beaming with joy and said: "I found Yaoyao's trace!"
Ye Xiaotian was overjoyed, and quickly asked, "Where is it? Where is it?"
※※※
On the mountain road, Ye Xiaotian, Hua Yunfei, Mao Wenzhi, Zhan Ning'er and others hurried away under the escort of dozens of temple warriors. As they walked, a Miao man explained to Ye Xiaotian, and Zhan Ning'er accompanied Ye Xiaotian, helping him translate every sentence.
Zhan Ning'er said: "Forty miles away from here, there is a Tiaohujian. There are strange rocks and many caves. Usually, few people go there. Today, some hunters from a nearby tribe chased a wounded wild boar. Entering the Tiaohujian, it was accidentally discovered that there seemed to be someone active in the grotto.
They had received a call for help from Gedold before, and they knew that two men with a little girl were going to be arrested. When they found out that the people who were active in the cave area were exactly two men, and they were acting sneakily, they immediately went to the police station. I rushed over to find out. Unexpectedly, those two people shot first and injured one of the hunters. The hunters resisted and shot a man dead. The other fled into the woods in a panic and is now chasing... "
Ye Xiaotian interrupted her, and hurriedly asked: "What about Yaoyao, did you find her?"
Zhan Ning'er asked the Miao man a few more words, turned around and said beamingly: "I found it! They said that they found several piles of bonfire ashes in that cave, which showed traces of living there, so they sent people to arrest them and escaped." The man in the cave searched the cave and found a girl inside.
It's just that the leader of their tribe has already rushed to the temple, and no one in the tribe communicated with her. It's just that the child mentioned "Yaoyao" more than once when she heard the cry, so she was expected to be the child entrusted by the Gedoldao tribe to find. Because it was inconvenient to take her on the road, I sent this fast-footed person to report first, and I thought I would send her here later, but you are so impatient..."
A stone fell to the ground in Ye Xiaotian's heart, and he said happily, "Is Yaoyao all right?"
Zhan Ning'er smiled and said, "I asked, the child is fine, it doesn't look like he has been abused."
Standing on a cliff in Tiaohujian, you can see the rushing river in the valley and the jagged rock clusters. The goatee who once kidnapped Yaoyao stood on the cliff with his Yi knife, looking desperate. This place is called Leaping Tiger Stream, maybe a tiger can jump over it, but he can't.
Those mountain hunters were extremely fierce, and after being injured by one of them, they immediately counterattacked without mercy, and shot his companion to death, and they were chasing aggressively at this moment.
In fact, Goatee was already desperate when he accepted the order, because Yang Yinglong's order was: "Return Yaoyao to them, and don't make them suspicious. You can go at ease, your family, I will take good care of them."
Goatee knows very well what kind of temperament their chieftain master has. He is as hard as iron, cold-blooded and ruthless. He will never change what he decides. Although he loves Yaoyao very much, he has many children. Yaoyao It is not his only flesh and blood, and it is impossible to use Yaoyao as a hostage.
They are more aware of the brutal treatment their parents, wives and children will suffer if they disobey, so they can only come to die willingly. This dead end was originally chosen by him on purpose. Goatee glanced down the cliff, clenched the knife in his hand, roared, and rushed towards the hunters without hesitation.
With a sound of "嗖", a sharp arrow shot out, the goatee knife flashed, split the sharp arrow, jumped up, and raised the sharp knife high above the head, slashing at the hunters.
But his knife didn't hurt anyone, his body was still in the air, three sharp hunting forks came up to meet the air, pierced hard into his ribs and abdomen, and then pulled out hard. When he fell heavily to the ground, there were nine holes in his body, and blood gushed out.
The goatee has died, but his eyes are still wide open, and he will not rest in peace!
