If talking to Yan Wushi in the past was easy to get angry, then now you are angry and then alive again. Without strong enough will, there is no way to carry on the conversation.
Shen Qiao sighed, simply closed his mouth and said nothing.
But the people behind him saw that he didn't say a word, and instead put their hands tighter and put their chin on his shoulder: "A Qiao, why are you ignoring me?"
Because I'm thinking about knocking you out before taking you on the road. Shen Qiao thought, turned his head slightly, lowered his voice and asked, "Since you still remember your identity, do you know why Chen Gong went to Ruoqiang Ancient City to find chalcedony?"
Yan Wushi: "I don't know. But I have heard of Cistanche Jade. This thing grows in the depths of the Gobi Desert and is hidden in the crevices of the rock all the year round. It is extremely difficult to find. It is indeed a rare treasure, but Chen Gong is obviously just going to look for chalcedony, and he will bring cistanche, but he just wants to give us a bait and let us run for him."
Even when he was not injured before, Shen Qiao rarely heard him analyze a matter in such a calm tone.
Shen Qiao: "Yes, I found it too, but even if there is no Cistanche japonica, he kidnapped Banna's grandfather and threatened me, so I can't help but go with him, but if I can find Cistanche japonica because of this. , your wounds will heal."
Yan Wushi: "Actually, my injury lies in the flaws in my inner demons. Cistanche can only treat trauma, and it doesn't help much."
Shen Qiao laughed: "But there are cracks in your head. Cistanche japonica can regenerate muscles and bones. Can't it come in handy? You have to treat the trauma first?"
Yan Wushi said dully: "Actually, I don't want to be cured."
Shen Qiao frowned: "Why?"
He felt that the other person's current temperament was not quite the same as before, but a bit like the one who gave him a gentle smile when he woke up a few days ago.
Yan Wushi: "Because after being cured, I won't necessarily be able to talk to you. Do you prefer Yan Wushi who ignored your sincerity and gave you to Sang Jingxing?"
Shen Qiao: "You are him."
Yan Wushi: "I'm not him."
Shen Qiao was speechless: "Then who are you?"
Yan Wushi was silent for a moment: "You call me Ayan."
Shen Qiao: "..."
Yan Wushi: "Can you call me and listen, I've never heard you call my name."
Shen Qiao muran: "I can't call out your face."
Yan Wushi resented: "The face is only the appearance of the body, why is it necessary to show the appearance? I know all the things he did to you, Yan Wushi has a bad heart, but I will never let you down, A Qiao, a good person like you, It's hard to find a second one in the world, he doesn't cherish it, I'll cherish it, okay?"
The person in front no longer speaks or pays any attention to him. Yan Wushi didn't give up and wanted to say something, but when Chen Gong's horse suddenly slowed down, the other party turned his head and glanced at him. Said: "It seems that the outside rumors are wrong. The relationship between Taoist Shen and Sect Master Yan is very good, so I am relieved. With the help of the two, I will not worry about finding chalcedony on this trip!"
Shen Qiao looked at the sky, he had lived here for several days, and he had some understanding of the sky: "Is there going to be sandstorms?"
Chen Gong naturally didn't understand, but some of the people he brought did understand, and Murong Qin said, "Yes, it just so happens that there is a small town in front of you, so why don't my lord go ahead and rest for a night, change your mounts by the way, and continue your journey tomorrow? "
How arrogant he was before, but now he was willing to call Chen Gong the master, which made Shen Qiao glance at him.
Murong Qin looked as usual, and did not seem to feel that this master-servant relationship humiliated his identity.
He should have respected Emperor Qi Gao Wei, but now he respects Chen Gong...
Seemingly aware of his thoughts, Yan Wushi leaned into his ear from behind: "The Murong family has already pledged allegiance to Chen Gong in private."
The hot air sprayed into his ears, and Shen Qiao couldn't help but lean forward.
Not long after, he arrived at the town. Chen Gong had a lot of money and great style. Once he went there, he settled on the best inn in the town. But in fact, this inn is the only one in the town. Previously, Banna's house was also a lot worse, but after all, this place is remote, it is not bad to be able to find a place to rest, and there is nothing to be picky about everyone.
The inn has limited rooms, so Shen Qiao and Yan Wushi naturally live in the same room.
Shen Qiao is not a very curious person, but Chen Gong was originally just an ordinary teenager. Now that we meet again, there seem to be countless mysteries hidden in him. This mystery may also be related to the purpose and safety of their trip. He can't. Don't care too much.
"In terms of power, everything that Chen Gong has now comes from Lord Qi. Without Lord Qi, Chen Gong and the others would have nothing. Murong Qin was the first master of the court of Qi, but instead he was willing to be a minister, calling him Lord Chen Gong. , which in itself is a very strange thing.”
After Yan Wushi's temperament changed drastically, now his eyes are following Shen Qiao. No matter Shen Qiao gets up and sits down, his eyes are glued to the other person. Shen Qiao is not a four-person, how can't he feel it, he just feels awkward , After saying these words, he couldn't help frowning: "Why do you keep looking at me?"
"Because you look good." Yan Wushi smiled at him, suddenly like a peach blossom in the spring breeze, blooming in ten miles, the precious tree was shining, and the moon was shining.
"Speaking of business." Shen Qiao sighed and found that this Yan Wushi was actually not very normal, but it was better than the previous one.
"Did Chen Gong know martial arts before?" Yan Wushi suddenly asked.
Shen Qiao was reminded by him, and suddenly understood where his sudden feeling came from.
Chen Gong didn't know martial arts before. He didn't even know how to type. Where would he go to learn martial arts? He only learned one or two tricks from Shen Qiao for self-defense, but he could only deal with one or two thieves at most. , but at the moment the opponent's divine light is restrained, his steps are light, and it is obvious that his martial arts has reached a certain level.
Why did he have such a rapid change in such a short period of time? Ordinary people's martial arts must be practiced from a young age, but Chen Gong is like a high-rise building on the ground, which is full of doubts.
Shen Qiao: "Also, I said back to Chang'an before, but it was too late for you, but because there will be an accident in Chang'an? Will something happen to Lord Zhou?"
Yan Wushi shook his head. He was tired because he rode a horse for most of the day today. Even if he just sat on the horse and didn't have to bother to see the road, he was seriously injured, and the bumps on the road were enough to make the old problem recur.
"My head hurts a little..." There was a hint of pain on his face, and he seemed to want to reach up to the top of his head to touch the wound.
Shen Qiao quickly pressed the opponent's hand: "Don't move."
He pressed his hand against the other's vest, pouring in a few strands of infuriating energy.
Shen Qiao's internal training now comes from "Zhu Yangce", which is upright and peaceful, but he expected Yan Wushi's body, but it made his pain deepen, and his face almost distorted.
As a last resort, Shen Qiao could only stop quickly.
The other party was hot all over and seemed to be in the furnace, which had never happened before.
"Sect Master Yan?" Shen Qiao called softly.
Yan Wushi grabbed his hand, still in a coma and still didn't forget to say: "Call me Ayan..."
Shen Qiao: "..."
Yan Wushi: "Many things you said, I am confused in my mind, I can't say why, maybe Yan Wushi knows, but I don't know..."
That is, each different temperament has not been fully remembered? Shen Qiao frowned and thought.
"I'll sleep first..." Yan Wushi said, his voice gradually faded away, and at the end, his eyes were closed.
In fact, if Zen Master Xueting and those people wanted to kill Yan Wushi, it must not be the case that everything would be fine as long as Yan Wushi died. They wanted to stop the Huanyue Sect from expanding its influence in Northern Zhou, and they also wanted to prevent the Huanyue Sect from helping the Lord Zhou to rule the world. The ultimate goal is still to point to Yuwenyong. Now Yan Wushi is dead in the eyes of outsiders. The Huanyue Sect has no leader, and Bianbianmei is not enough to consolidate the sect. The protection of Yuwenyong must be neglected. As a result, Others will have the opportunity.
So Yan Wushi said that it was too late, it should mean that something would happen to Yu Wenyong.
But now they have come to Tuyuhun, which is 108,000 miles away from Chang'an, and are about to enter the barren and inaccessible desert. Even if Yan Wushi is not considered, it is impossible for Shen Qiao to turn around and leave if Panna's grandfather is in Chen Gong's hands. For today's plan, we can only continue to move forward and help Chen Gong get the chalcedony first.
Early in the morning the next day, when Chen Gong sent someone to wake up, Yan Wushi was still in a deep sleep and could not wake up no matter what.
Shen Qiao had to arrange him in front of the mount, while he sat behind him, with both hands from the opponent's waist to the front to hold the reins, to prevent Yan Wushi from falling off halfway.
Seeing this, Chen Gong handed over a bottle of medicine: "There are pills in it, which can refresh your mind and energize your qi. If you give it to Sect Master Yan, it may be better."
Shen Qiao: "Thank you, but I still don't know how his condition is, so I'm afraid it's inappropriate to take medicine rashly."
Chen Gong smiled: "Don't worry, these pills are all mild medicinal herbs like wolfberry salvia, and even if they don't work, they won't kill him. If I'm not wrong, he must have been seriously injured when he fought against Dou Yanshan and the others. For the sake of it, if I change the way I used to, I can naturally watch the jokes, but now you and I are in the same boat, if something happens to Yan Wushi, you must be distracted, which is not good for me."
This is true. Yan Wushi's current situation is not optimistic. His inner qi is disordered, and he can no longer accept the foreign zhenqi. Shen Qiao is helpless at all.
He took the medicine bottle and poured out two for Yan Wushi to eat.
After a while, the latter moved suddenly, coughed up a mouthful of blood, and actually slowly opened his eyes.
Shen Qiao's heart moved, if the medicinal herbs in the pill were very mild, it would definitely not have such a miraculous effect.
He asked Chen Gong, "What else is in the pill?"
This time, Chen Gong said truthfully: "There are ginseng and snow lotus. I was afraid that you would not use the medicine for him because of the strong medicinal properties, so I didn't tell you."
Shen Qiao asked Yan Wushi: "How do you feel?"
The other party didn't speak, the drooping eyelids were slightly opened, and he seemed to glance at them, then closed them again, barely sitting upright on the horse.
But his face was cold and white, and his forehead was faintly sweaty.
Chen Gong said: "It seems that there should be no problem on the road, so let's go."
He seemed to be in a hurry to go to the destination, although it didn't show it too clearly, but Shen Qiao could feel it.
There were no camels to replace in the town, and everyone had to ride on horses. Fortunately, the terrain was not completely desert, and bare rocks were still visible everywhere, indicating that they were still in the Gobi area.
Along the way, Yan Wushi didn't talk to Shen Qiao anymore, just lay on his back and fell asleep.
The fact that he is still alive is a very eye-catching existence in itself, but no one in Chen Gong's group, including Murong Qin and others, has paid too much attention to him. They seem to have other goals. This goal is much more important than Yan Wushi.
Horses can't move an inch on the Gobi, and the wind and sand are getting bigger. Everyone can only dismount and continue to move forward with their horses. People in the rivers and lakes are fast, and they have walked for most of the day. From early morning to dusk, they are actually far away from the town. It was yellow sand filling the sky, and even a martial arts expert could do nothing. Fortunately, everyone was well prepared, and the cloaks and scarves covered their heads and faces, which saved them from eating a mouthful of sand.
Walking at the front was a middle-aged man with an unremarkable appearance. Shen Qiao didn't know him, and Chen Gong didn't intend to introduce it, but the other party obviously did not know martial arts and was not in the same league as Murong Qin and the others. Chen Gong took him with him. In order to let the other party find the way.
The other party sits high on the horse with a compass in his hand and is responsible for identifying the direction. Naturally, someone leads the horse for him.
Suddenly, he raised his hand high.
Almost the next moment, Murong Qin said loudly, "Stop!"
Everyone stopped and stared at the middle-aged man's back.
The other party looked down at the compass for a long time, then turned and trotted all the way to Chen Gong, holding the turban and wiping it on his face, wiping the sweat: "My lord, there is something, something is not right, the compass can't tell the direction when it gets here!"
Chen Gong frowned: "Didn't you say to go in this direction before?"
The middle-aged man looked at Chen Gong's scorching eyes, and almost couldn't even say a word: "Yes, yes! But now... you see!"
He handed over the compass, and when Chen Gong saw it, the needle on it was spinning like crazy and couldn't stop at all.
Chen Gong naturally couldn't understand: "What does this mean?"
The middle-aged man smiled: "If the villain guesses correctly, this should be the Ruoqiang ancient city you are looking for. There must be something in it that disturbs the pointer of the compass. Maybe it is the chalcedony you are looking for. But now because of its interference, the villain can't find out where the real entrance to the ancient city is!"
Everyone looked around, but saw a patch of sand, blurring the boundaries between the sky and the earth. Occasionally, they could see bare rocks nearby. The so-called ancient city ruins were not seen at all.
Chen Gong asked Murong Qin, "What do you think?"
Murong Qin thought for a while: "Master, do you want to wait for the sandstorm to stop before making plans?"
Chen Gong frowned: "But there is no place to shelter from the wind."
He looked back at the middle-aged man: "Should we continue walking, or stop on the spot, please be precise."
His words were lighthearted, but the other party would never dare to fool around at will. The middle-aged man hesitated, for fear that everyone would go astray because of his words, and he would lose his head because of this.
Chen Gong said coldly, "Think about it before answering."
The middle-aged man shuddered and blurted out: "Keep going!"
Chen Gong: "Are you sure?"
Middle-aged man: "Yes! The villain is here to lead the way. Judging from the compass reaction, it should be right in this area. You can always find it if you turn around!"
Chen Gong: "Then let's go."
The crowd continued to move forward, Shen Qiao followed behind, he looked back at Yan Wushi, who was lying on the horse, and hesitated for a moment: "Are you Yan Wushi now, or who?"
The other party quietly stretched out a hand from under the robe and held his wrist holding the reins: "It's me, Ayan."
"..." While Shen Qiao was speechless, he was also secretly relieved.
Although he saved Yan Wushi, deep down, he didn't want to have too much contact with him.
The so-called "Ayan" and "Xie Ling" derived from Yan Wushi's temperament, no matter which one is, in Shen Qiao's opinion, it is much easier to talk than the original owner, at least when facing them, Shen Qiao can reluctantly When he is not Yan Wushi, but two other people.
Suddenly, someone in front of him shouted, "My lord, he's gone!"
