"But he..." He was obviously dead and buried.
But Mo Chen believed Xiaodong's words. Even if other things can be wrong, Xiaodong will not make mistakes with the relatives who raised him since he was a child.
He said yes, it must be.
Xiaodong asked as if talking to himself: "Uncle, isn't he dead?" But even though his figure had changed drastically, he still had a familiar accent, not to mention the cough he heard.
If these similarities are all coincidences... But Xiaodong thought, there are not so many coincidences in the world, and even if there were, they wouldn't all fall on one person.
Mo Chen didn't doubt Xiaodong.
Since Yun Lie is not dead and Mr. Wan is Yun Lie, it is easy to push back.
There are so many ways for monks to fake death, it would take hours to talk about it seriously.
It's just that no one thought that Yun Lie would fake his death before, and he never thought about it.
Now that I think about it, Yun Lie went back to Liushan to entrust his orphans, and then faked his death, so the people from Huiliushan buried him. He just wanted Xiaodong to stay on Huiliu Mountain. Then he can get away by himself. The formation of Huiliu Mountain cannot enter the mountain gate without a token, but going out is not the case. After he faked his death, he could just find an opportunity to sneak down the mountain without anyone noticing.
If Mo Chen was an outsider, he would still have to praise Yunlie, or rather, to praise Mr. Wan, this plan is very clever.
But in the position of the first disciple of Huiliu Mountain, Xiaodong's senior brother, Mo Chen doesn't have any good feelings for Mr. Wan now.
What kind of person is Master? He cherishes his friends so much, and he is willing to trust this person, but this person has really lied to him. Thinking about how sad the tomb in Huiliu Mountain made Master feel, this is simply too ironic.
And Xiaodong.
Since he was a child, he had only one relative, but this person also abandoned him. Although Mo Chen didn't see Xiaodong's situation when he went up the mountain with his own eyes, but when he came back, Xiaodong was so sick that he was unconscious and drowsy, and that kind of unrequited appearance made Mo Chen feel uneasy the first time he saw him. Feel distressed.
What if he didn't make it back to the mountain in time? Master was not there, Xiaodong had such a high fever, most of his illnesses were in his heart, and Jiang Fan and the others couldn't cure him, so would Xiaodong just get sick
Has Yun Lie thought about all this
Maybe he had a compelling reason at that time, so he could only throw Xiaodong down. But the trick of feigning death is really...
The human heart is not made of mud, you can squeeze it flat if you want to, and round it if you want to round it. It is even more impossible to pick it up and pat it when you want it, and throw it on the ground and step on it when you don't want it.
"He just slipped away before you woke up..."
It seems that he is guilty.
If he has a clear conscience, what is there to be guilty of? Why do you need to hide from Xiaodong
"We are now, at..."
"At the altar of Tianjian City." Seeing that Xiaodong is in good spirits, Mo Chen accompanied him no matter what he wanted to say, "It should be under Tianjian City."
Xiaodong didn't need to look closely to know that this was the place he had been to in his dream.
Of course, this is not quite the same as in the dream. In the dream, no matter which direction you look, it seems to be a thick fog. He kept going around in circles in the fog, unable to find an exit, and unable to tell the direction.
Looking at it now, of course it is not that big, nor is it like a maze. But the feeling of oppression and dead silence is still exactly the same.
"Where's Master?"
Mo Chen found that Xiaodong was struggling to speak, so he lifted Xiaodong up, let him lean on his body, and lightly put his hand on his back to help him: "Master and Mrs. Yan have gone to the altar below, we are waiting for news here .”
Xiaodong's chest felt tight and uncomfortable, and he felt like vomiting but couldn't vomit.
He may not have eaten for a long time, Xiaodong can't judge the exact time.
But he doesn't feel hungry.
The waiting time was quite difficult, Xiaodong tried to tell Mo Chen that Xiaodong felt better when he applied the needles, and Mo Chen took out his set of needles—a few were lost in the chaos, but the rest were still enough.
"What was it like at that time?" Mo Chen asked very carefully, and then pierced the golden needles into Xiaodong's meridian points one by one.
The stuffy feeling in my chest is much better.
Mo Chen stayed for a while, and took off the gold needles one by one.
Someone came quickly from behind, it was Mr. Wan.
He looked even more embarrassed than when he left in a hurry just now. A large piece of hair was cut off, and the rest was loose, and blood of unknown origin was splashed on his face.
"Walk!"
He only had time to say such a sentence, Mo Chen picked up Xiaodong again without saying a word, and quickly followed his pace.
Now is not the time to dwell on the past.
It's meaningless to ask him "why did you fake your death back then" "why did you lie to others" at such a life-and-death juncture. He must have a reason, if there is no reason, why would he take Xiaodong to wander around? There is also no need to perform a drama of "severely injured, hard to heal, dying and lonely" in front of Li Fulin.
The immediate thing is to save life first.
There is no one left who followed them all the way, and now only Mr. Wan is leading the way.
Where did the others go? There is no need to ask more questions.
They're probably all dead.
Xiaodong rested his head on the senior brother's shoulder. He looked forward and could still see Mr. Wan's faint back.
It was him, Xiaodong was sure that he did not admit his mistake.
Knowing that he was still alive, except for the initial disbelief and shock, Xiaodong didn't feel too happy.
After going through so many things, Xiaodong really couldn't be happy anymore.
It's just... a sense of relief.
Knowing that he is not dead and is still alive here, Xiaodong feels a lot more relaxed for some reason.
Someone was chasing after them, and Mo Chen's long sword had also been unsheathed. Mr. Wan protected them and retreated towards the altar.
In such an occasion, the enemy is outnumbered, even if both Mr. Wan and Mo Chen are better than most of the people facing them, it is difficult to guarantee that they can defeat the siege of so many people.
But the person on the other side didn't dare to let go and kill him.
They also cast a taboo.
After all, there is a real young master on the opposite side, and Tianjian City still needs him to sacrifice. If he is killed in the chaos, although the dead can also be used, but after all, it is not enough. If they can be captured alive, they still want to capture Xiao Xiao alive. winter.
Those people stared at the person on Mo Chen's back.
Considering his age and his figure, he must be a teenager in his teens.
Elder Wu personally led people to chase after him. When he saw Xiaodong's figure, his eyes were extremely hot.
The members of the Xie family have withered, and there is only one person in the Xie family's direct lineage who is still alive.
Take him no matter what.
Elder Wu believed that he would not be unable to do it.
How many of them are there
A single and lonely Mrs. Yan who became eccentric after the death of her husband. Li Fulin, who was once amazing and brilliant, but later disappeared from everyone, and others are even more insignificant. Elder Wu doesn't take them seriously at all.
Tianjian City will not just collapse like this. If what happened today, Tianjian City will definitely last for another few decades...at least ten years or so.
Elder Wu doesn't want to think about where to find another Xie family member to sacrifice to the city in ten years' time.
The fire is imminent, so I can only look at the moment. Let's worry about the future.
Of course, Li Fulin and Mrs. Yan would not fail to hear such a big commotion.
But they don't care about it now.
The formation of the altar is extremely complicated, and neither of them is an expert in breaking formations. After all, Li Fulin is well-informed, but Mrs. Yan is better because she is the wife of the city lord. All the classics and cheats in the city are for her to read. She also learned some secrets of the altar from her deceased husband. .
Because of these advantages, she and Li Fulin were able to break through the outer formation eyes, and they were about to crack the formation outside the altar.
However, the middle core is the hardest.
The person who set up the formation at the beginning was really a genius, and the formation eyes that are linked together make people have to admire.
Li Fulin and Mrs. Yan walked forward alternately, and there were different patterns on the stone slabs that were difficult to see clearly. The stone slabs with the same pattern are not all array eyes. Even if the eye of the formation is identified, if two people cannot step on it together to break the formation, all previous efforts will be wasted, and the two people in the formation will either die or be injured.
They have no time to attend to each other now, not even a little distraction.
Xiaodong vaguely saw the altar not far ahead.
The closer he got to here, the more uncomfortable Xiaodong felt in his chest.
Sure enough, as Mrs. Yan said, this altar is for him...
Can they escape with their lives
Xiaodong didn't know.
Maybe they will die here together today.
It's also possible... they could really get out alive.
Regardless of the result, Xiaodong found that he was not afraid at all.
His chest was pressed against the senior brother's back, without a single gap. Xiaodong could feel her heart beating again and again. Big brother must feel it too.
"Master is just ahead."
Xiaodong couldn't see clearly.
The figures of Li Fulin and Mrs. Yan were both shrouded in red brilliance. Even if they were close, they could only vaguely see a little shadow, not to mention that they were farther away. Apart from the flickering streamer, nothing else can be seen.
Elder Wu also saw it from a distance. Regarding the altar, there was nothing sloppy about it. Seeing someone trying to break the formation, Elder Wu's tone of voice changed a little.
"Kill them for me!"
The altar must not be lost!
Tianjian City must not be destroyed like this.
Sure enough, the most poisonous woman's heart, such a detrimental move that ordinary men can't think of, this is to recruit them from the bottom of the pot! Once the altar is destroyed, Tianjian City will be destroyed in no time at all.
And how is the formation so simple
Under the command of Elder Wu, many people flew up, their bodies turned into sword lights, and rushed towards the altar one after another. But this formation is weird and complicated far beyond everyone's imagination.
These people plunged into the red light of the formation, like mud pellets falling into the water, without making a sound.
Elder Wu's heart trembled, and he motioned for him to move forward.
If there is nothing wrong with this place, Elder Wu will not come. The last time I came, it was when the previous city lord sacrificed himself to the city. Elder Wu doesn't know much about the formations on the altar. (to be continued)
