Luo Wugou's eyes widened, and there was an almost unbelievable look of despair in his eyes, as if he couldn't believe that he would die in the hands of a mortal.
Lu Xiao looked at him with lowered eyes, his eyes were as cold as ice, and he stirred the long sword in his hand very slowly.
"Hehehehe..." With the stirring of the long sword, there was an extremely terrifying sound of dying in Luo Wugou's throat, and a large pile of bloody reddish foam overflowed from the corner of his mouth.
He stared at Lu Xiao, his pupils gradually dilated.
"Huh..." Lu Xiao breathed out lightly, then shook his body slightly, unable to hold on any longer, and fell down limply.
He lay on his back on the cold bluestone tile floor, panting heavily, but after a while, a large thick blood soaked under his body, and his face was so pale that he almost didn't look like a living person. After a while, he turned his head sideways again with great effort, his dark eyes rolled slightly, as if looking for something.
Qiu Yutong stared at Lu Xiao closely, his little apprentice was so helpless, he only felt that his heart was being scorched on the flames... He tried desperately to break free from the hemp ropes on his body, but His whole body was limp, and he couldn't even move a single finger.
"Master..." Lu Xiao slowly rolled his eyes, looking dazed and stubborn.
After an unknown amount of time, the eyes of the two finally met.
Lu Xiao's dim eyes brightened slightly, as if he was a little angry again, Qiu Yutong's heart was twisted like a knife, and she wriggled her lips with all her strength, and said in a trembling voice: "Xiao'er..."
"I, I'm fine..." Lu Xiao's voice was so hoarse that he could barely speak.
He took a low breath, and tried to smile at Qiu Yutong again, then turned over with great effort, dragged the long sword in one hand, and grabbed the gap between the bluestone bricks on the ground with the other, slowly crawling forward.
His slender fingers were tightly digging the gaps between the bluestone bricks, his five fingernails were almost bleeding, and he finally managed to crawl to a disciple. The disciple looked at him in horror, his lips twitched slightly, as if he was begging for mercy, but Lu Xiao completely ignored the pleading eyes of the other party, and sent the long sword into the other party's lower abdomen without hesitation until it was gone.
Then, he climbed on to the next...
In less than half an hour, the ground of the small earth temple was covered with messy mottled bloodstains, some were the blood of the dead, some were bloodstains dragged from under Lu Xiao's body, and the hideous bloodstains criss-crossed messily on the blue bricks. It's almost impossible to tell whose blood it is...
Lu Xiao took a few breaths, then raised his head with difficulty, as if he was looking outside the temple. Qiu Yutong's heart shuddered, and she followed his gaze, raising her eyes to look outside the temple.
That was the last disciple.
The disciple was lying on his back about two feet outside the gate of the Earth Temple. He was the farthest from the fire, and he should have inhaled the least poisonous smoke. He was looking at Lu Xiao in panic at this time, obviously knowing that he would be next.
Lu Xiao rested for a while, then slowly climbed to the threshold, trying to get out. The threshold of the small temple is only half a foot high. Lu Xiao is very tall and has long legs. He can usually cross it casually, but at this moment, he tried hard several times, but he couldn't climb over. He had to lie down Panting feebly on the ground, he looked extremely embarrassed and pitiful.
Looking at him like that, Qiu Yutong could hardly breathe because of her chest pain.
His little apprentice lay there blankly, and even the hem of his clothes dragged on the ground was soaked in blood. He looked so embarrassed, so helpless, so desperate, just like the one who was lying on the snow in the snow more than ten years ago. The child is almost exactly the same... But at this moment, I don't even have the slightest ability to help him a little...
The disciple outside the door stared at Lu Xiao with horror and fear in his eyes.
I don't know how long the stalemate lasted, but suddenly, the disciple's little finger moved slightly. He was taken aback for a moment, and then ecstasy appeared in his eyes!
The effect of the medicine is over!
Lu Xiao also seemed to understand something. He stared at the disciple, the whites of his eyes were covered with ferocious bloodshot eyes, his slender fingers were digging at the threshold fiercely, his two nails had turned up, revealing ferocious flesh and blood, but He doesn't seem to feel it at all...
Just a little bit, just a little bit... He has to... He has to protect...
The young disciple tried his best to move his fingers, fumbled and tore a small scroll from his waist.
Message scroll.
Lu Xiao, Qiu Yutong, and Xu Dongqing all looked at the small messenger scroll, and felt that their breathing was almost stagnant. As long as that person throws the summons scroll into the air, Chen Wushang and Tu Wuwei will get the news immediately, everything is over!
The disciple raised his hand tremblingly, and was about to throw it into the air—
"Ah—" Almost at the same moment, Lu Xiao roared like a violent beast that had been seriously injured! !
He almost exhausted all his strength, desperately throwing the long sword in his hand forward! !
The scroll slumped to the ground.
That sharp long sword pierced through the young disciple's chest fiercely, nailing him to the ground, and he will die with regret!
Lu Xiao didn't say a word, and passed out.
The moon showed half of its face from behind the clouds again, the gauze-like light was still deserted, and the branches and leaves all over the mountains and plains rustled in the night wind, as if everything was the same. However, inside and outside this small earth temple, the corpses of nine Beihai Sword Sect monks were scattered all over the place.
"Xiao'er, Xiao'er..." Qiu Yutong desperately tried to pull up a little strength, even a hand, even a finger, as long as it can move, as long as it can move... I don't know how long it took, his left finger The tip finally moved slightly.
He almost struggled, finally broke free from the hemp rope on his body, then supported his weak legs, stood up extremely reluctantly, and almost rolled and crawled on Lu Xiao's body: " Xiao'er! Wake up! Wake up... I beg you... I beg you for the teacher... I don't allow you to die, you evil disciple, you haven't repaid the teacher's upbringing, how can you die, you How can you die..."
Lu Xiao's dark eyelashes trembled slightly, and he slowly opened his eyes, his eyes were extremely confused: "... Master?"
Qiu Yutong burst into ecstasy: "Xiao'er!"
Lu Xiao smiled at him very reluctantly, his eyelids drooping uncontrollably: "Master, I, I'm so sleepy... I really want to sleep... I, I may not be able to..."
Qiu Yutong sternly said: "Don't talk nonsense! I won't let you die! You heard me clearly, I ordered you not to die!"
"I don't want to die, I still want to..." Lu Xiao seemed to lose consciousness, and his hoarse voice continued intermittently, "I, I was so naive before... I thought I could always protect you in this life... I am too So naive, so selfish... I, I did that kind of thing... I'm sorry, I'm sorry..."
He apologized in a daze, and suddenly coughed violently, the coughed up was full of warm blood, dripping onto Qiu Yutong's white skirt, it was so bright red and so glaring.
Qiu Yutong trembled slightly, and suddenly hugged the little apprentice tightly, her voice trembling almost out of shape: "Say, what nonsense are you talking about... You will be fine, you will be fine, you will be fine of… "
Lu Xiao didn't seem to be able to hear what Qiu Yutong was saying at all. After coughing violently for a while, he gasped again, and continued to mutter: "Later, you... you gouged out my heart, I'm pregnant There is a book of medicine in it, which I took in the pharmacy... Inside, there is a prescription for washing the marrow soup... You take my token and go back to the capital, let the imperial doctor follow the prescription... Then you can continue to practice Taoism ... Wait, when you recover your cultivation, you will never be bullied casually like today... You, you are the strongest sword cultivator in the world, how can you be bullied like this... "
"What are you talking about?! Stop talking, stop talking..."
Lu Xiao's voice became softer and softer, gradually becoming inaudible: "Master, you... don't forget me. It's best, it's best to remember for a little longer... just... a little longer, is that okay..."
"Xiao'er, Xiao'er!" Qiu Yutong was completely flustered, his mind went blank, he almost subconsciously supported Lu Xiao's upper body with one hand, and pressed the bloody vest tightly with the other, desperately trying to squeeze the blood in his body. A little bit of spiritual power was sent over.
However, that bit of spiritual power was like a mud cow entering the sea, and there was no reaction at all.
Xu Dongqing was tied to a pillar, and his whole body looked limp. He tried to wriggle his lips, and said in a hoarse voice: "Let me go, let me try. I, I know a little bit of medical skills, I learned from my brother." of… "
"What did you say?!" Qiu Yutong suddenly turned his head to look at Xu Dongqing, a little bit of hope ignited in his heart, he almost stumbled and ran over, almost fell in the middle, trembling hands, trying to hold Untied the hemp rope from Xu Dongqing's body, and helped him to Lu Xiao's side.
"Help me and put him down." Xu Dongqing greeted Qiu Yutong, and the two of them put Lu Xiao in a flat lying position with great effort. Xu Dongqing took a deep breath, gently tore off the bloody coat on Lu Xiao's chest, and then He almost gasped for air—on that strong and broad chest, there was an extremely deep penetrating sword wound, and the thick and warm blood was like a spring, which couldn't be stopped at all.
"How could this be..." Qiu Yutong stared blankly at the hideous wound, her heart almost fell into the ice cave.
Xu Dongqing gritted her teeth, and tapped two acupuncture points on Lu Xiao's chest, then hesitated for a moment, and tapped the other two acupuncture points. After a while, the blood flow gradually slowed down, but it still didn't stop.
Qiu Yutong said anxiously: "How is it? Do you need me to do anything?"
Xu Dongqing took a breath: "My technique is too poor to completely stop the bleeding. He seems to have taken my brother's ecstasy charcoal... I don't know if he took other things, such as wound medicine or something."
"I'll look for it." Qiu Yutong groped around in Lu Xiao's arms, and sure enough, she found a few small bottles and boxes, as well as a thin roll of medicine scriptures.
Xu Dongqing's eyes lit up slightly, and she picked up a small black jade box: "Yes, deer antler black jade ointment!"
He held the small box and tried hard to unscrew the lid, but he was just a mortal boy after all, and the effect of the Charcoal of Ecstasy hadn't completely passed at this time, his hands were always soft and slippery, and he couldn't unscrew it at all.
Qiu Yutong snatched the box: "I'll do it!"
After unscrewing the lid of the box, there was half a box of dark green translucent ointment inside, which was refreshing and refreshing.
"This velvet antler black jade ointment is the best hemostatic elixir in the world. You pick a little bit and apply it on the wound... as long as it's the size of a fingernail, it's enough. The rest is up to him. "Xu Dongqing said hoarsely.
Before he finished speaking, Qiu Yutong had dug up a large lump of velvet black jade ointment, carefully pasted it on the wound on Lu Xiao's chest, then dug another large lump, and continued to paste it on, as if it was a stick in his hand. It's not a precious panacea, but a golden sore medicine that costs five cents and one tael on the street.
"Uh, you've applied too much. By the way, if you have spiritual power to activate the meridians and help the drug to absorb, maybe the chance of survival will be greater." Xu Dongqing coughed, "However, I heard from my brother that He seems to be a heavenly spirit vein, and I don't know if spiritual power can be injected into it..."
"Try and talk!" After applying the ointment, Qiu Yutong firmly pressed the Tanzhong acupoint on Lu Xiao's chest with one hand and the Lingtai acupoint on the back with one hand, and then took a deep breath, and put All the remaining spiritual power in the body was lost.
He almost tried his best, but in the end he only felt that his dantian was empty, and he almost collapsed, but Lu Xiao still closed his eyes tightly, without any reaction, and his face gradually turned pale.
"Xiao'er..." Qiu Yutong was almost desperate.
He stared blankly at the only little apprentice in his arms, his mind was blank, and he was almost numb to pain... I don't know how long it took, and suddenly there was a soft "click", and a drop of transparent water fell on Lu Lu. On Xiao's dark eyelashes.
Qiu Yutong was stunned for a moment, then slowly raised her hand in disbelief, and gently touched her cheek.
Hands were cold and slippery.
This... is this tears? He has the innate sword body, has practiced for more than two hundred years, and has been in the world for more than ten years, and has never shed tears... So this is the feeling of crying
Xu Dongqing pursed her lips unbearably, felt Lu Xiao's pulse carefully, and said softly, "Don't worry too much, although he is not in good condition, he still has a weak pulse...it should be helpful."
Qiu Yutong grabbed Xu Dongqing's arm, as if grabbing a life-saving straw, and said in a hoarse voice: "Really, really? What should I do? The spiritual power I lost didn't respond at all."
"No response? No backflow?"
Qiu Yutong nodded: "Yes, there is no reaction at all."
Xu Dongqing murmured: "According to the medical book, if he is a heavenly spirit vein and can't absorb external spiritual power at all, then your spiritual power will flow back, just like when a river is blocked, the river will flow backwards and overflow. It's strange that he didn't respond at all, I, I can't figure it out, maybe my brother knows... "
He paused suddenly and couldn't continue.
Qiu Yutong took a deep breath, closed her eyes again, and finally calmed down a bit: "I'll talk about the Heaven's Absolute Spirit Vein or something later. It's not suitable to stay here for a long time. We have to leave here immediately and find another quiet place." place, heal him well."
Xu Dongqing woke up like a dream: "Yes, yes, yes!"
He thought for a while, then picked up Luo Wugou's Qiankun bag: "Turn it over later, maybe there is some kind of wound medicine inside."
"Well, take it." Qiu Yutong gritted her teeth, and carried Lu Xiao on her back unsteadily. Xu Dongqing propped up a branch to explore the way ahead. The two pushed aside the long grass and walked deeper into the dense forest. go.
The night was dark, the forest was dark, and the dense branches and leaves made it almost impossible for the moonlight to penetrate. Qiu Yutong carried Lu Xiao on his back, walking with one foot deep and the other shallow. Gradually, his legs became heavier and heavier, as if filled with lead. Generally... Just when he was almost unable to move, Xu Dongqing suddenly whispered: "There seems to be a cave in front."
Qiu Yutong looked up, and under the cold and hazy moonlight, among the trees in front of him, there was indeed a small cave.
He took a low breath: "Go in and hide."
Xu Dongqing pursed her lips lightly: "You are too tired, let me carry him for you."
Qiu Yutong shook her head, and rejected the other party's kindness again: "You are a mortal, and you were poisoned just now... He looks like this, he can't fall again."
"It's all my fault. How can I be so useless." Xu Dongqing whispered, "I used to be complacent, thinking that I had a lot of friends and was much better than my brother, but in the end..."
"You are too young, and the past has always been smooth sailing. It is inevitable that this will happen when there is a sudden big change. Don't blame yourself too much." Qiu Yutong sighed.
While talking, the three of them had already entered the cave. Qiu Yutong gently put Lu Xiao on the ground, and quickly touched the tip of the other's nose. He felt a little warm breath with his fingers, and then heaved a sigh of relief. He raised his head and looked at Xu Dongqing. : "Where are those wound medicines?"
Xu Dongqing took out a small jade bottle and poured out a red pill: "The blood has stopped, but it is still very dangerous. This is Xiongdan Danshen pill, which can protect the heart, but the medicine is a bit strong... Anyway, Hang your life first."
Qiu Yutong nodded, took the small red pill, tried to open Lu Xiao's mouth, and stuffed the pill in. But Lu Xiao closed his eyes tightly, and his throat didn't move, he didn't know how to swallow at all.
"He doesn't seem to be able to swallow it... what should we do?" Qiu Yutong murmured.
"It would be great if there was water to deliver the clothes. But it's the middle of the night in the wilderness, where can I find water?" Xu Dongqing frowned, and was at a loss.
"What should I do?" Qiu Yutong was a little confused again, but at this time, Lu Xiao could only rely on him, and he must not panic... He closed his eyes hard, pinched his palms hard, and tried his best to calm down.
That's right, when he was in Daning Palace, he caught cold on the Qixue Terrace, and fell asleep for five days and five nights due to the cold poison, and refused to drink bitter medicine in his sleep... At that time, what did Lu Xiao do? is coming? Lu Xiao, he...
At this time, Qiu Yutong didn't care much anymore, he lowered his head without hesitation, pressed his lips tightly against those cold and dry lips, and tried hard to pry open the tightly closed lip slit with the soft tip of his tongue. After searching for a long time, he finally found the small life-saving pill and pushed it into Lu Xiao's throat.
"Hmm..." Lu Xiao's throat moved slightly, then his dark eyelashes trembled slightly, and he slowly opened his eyes.
The author has something to say: Xiaoxiao is actually a calm and ruthless person, and the city is also very deep. Only when it comes to the issue of Qiuqiu will he be extremely concerned about gains and losses, so he will do what he did before (pour the last bowl of heart blood ), and then have been entangled.
