Lu Jing and Yuzhen walked up to the stone altar together and saw what the wild dog had just bitten.
It was a sika deer with long antlers and beautiful fur. However, a big hole was bitten open in its abdomen, and its intestines flowed all over the floor. It looked like it was about to die, but it was still struggling.
It seemed that he wanted to leave the altar before the wild dog came back.
Seeing this, Yuzhen couldn't bear it, so she borrowed a small sword from Lu Jing, stepped forward, and slit the sika deer's throat, helping it end its pain early.
When Yuzhen returned to Lu Jing and returned the small sword, she heard another movement behind her.
As a result, Yuzhen turned around and was surprised to find that the sika deer that had just breathed its last was standing up again. Its intestines were still dragging on the ground, and the new wound on its neck was still bleeding out. .
But it looks like it has regained its vitality, without any of the pain and struggle before.
After taking one look at the two of them, he turned around and jumped off the altar!
Yuzhen let out an exclamation, because the altar was three feet high from the ground, and even a sika deer would not feel comfortable.
But when she rushed to the altar, she saw that the sika deer had fallen to the ground. One of its hoofs seemed to have sprained, but miraculously, it did not affect its movements.
The sika deer shook its head and ran towards the woods ahead.
But at this moment, a figure suddenly passed by Yuzhen and jumped off the altar with him!
While Yuzhen was still in a daze, Lu Jing had already risen and fallen several times and was about to catch up with the sika deer.
The sika deer also sensed the danger and sped up again, with strong movements and no appearance of being seriously injured.
Unfortunately, it failed to outrun Lu Jing, who had perfected Qing Gong, and was grabbed by one of his legs.
The sika deer raised its other hind leg and kicked Lu Jing.
Then both of its legs were grabbed by Lu Jing, making it unable to move.
Lu Jing turned to Yuzhen on the altar and said, "Go find a rope for me and let me tie it up."
"Oh, good."
Yuzhen was stunned again, then she hurriedly ran down, went around to find some hemp ropes for tying stones, and asked Lu Jing to tie up the four hooves of the sika deer.
But Lu Jing was still a little worried, worried that the sika deer would break free, so he simply smashed its leg bones with the hilt of his sword.
Seeing this, Yuzhen couldn't help but feel sympathy again. After hesitating for a moment, she finally said, "Isn't this a little too cruel?"
Lu Jing was unmoved and broke the remaining leg bones one by one. Then he said, "That's a bit cruel, but I can't just let it run around on the ground, especially outside." go.
"But I guess it's a little late. I heard similar noises on the way here. Now I can only hope that it is really a hungry wild dog. As for why not just kill the deer now? It’s because I still want to keep it to figure out some things.”
"whats the matter?"
"We'll know then."
However, Yuzhen is still a little worried, "That Jinguang Taoist looks different from the previous swindlers. He has real abilities. He can really bring the dead back to life. No, not just people, even animals can do it. We just killed his dog, will we turn against him because of it?”
"I don't think so," Lu Jing said. "He has been hiding in this quarry. He probably doesn't want outsiders to know his secret. So no matter whether we kill his dog or not, when we come here, we have already He turned against him."
Yuzhen sighed, but there was nothing she could do.
Just like Lu Jing said, both of them were here, so they couldn't pretend not to see them.
But when she thought about having to face a powerful character with all the magic, Yuzhen felt extremely nervous, because she had no idea what methods the other party would use to deal with them.
Will heavenly soldiers and generals be summoned to capture them? Or use a treasure gourd to suck the two of them inside and lock them up?
In short, her mind was full of chaos at the moment.
However, Lu Jing on the side had already picked up the processed sika deer and threw it onto the altar again.
Then he took out the pen and paper he carried with him and began to lie down on the stone steps and write something.
He wrote very quickly and finished it in a short time. When Lu Jing put down his brush, a nightingale flew over from not far away and landed in front of him.
Lu Jing rolled up the paper he had finished writing and tied it to the nightingale's leg. Then he fed it some corn and watched it fly out of the valley.
Yuzhen was curious, "Who are you sending this letter to?"
"Reinforcements." Lu Jing said briefly.
"Ge Ping and the others?"
"No, just think of it as my disciple."
Lu Jing paused, "But I advise you not to have high hopes. Their manpower has been very tight recently. It is doubtful whether they can send people over in time and how many people they can send over.
“So the best way is to rely on ourselves, at least to find out what we can investigate first, so that it will be easier to call people.
"I'm about to enter the woods later. I'll give you two choices. One is to follow me, but it may be dangerous in the woods. After all, Ge Ping said that Taoist Jinguang has nearly two hundred followers.
"The second is to stay here and help me keep an eye on the sika deer. It is also very important to me. I can feel more at ease if I have someone to keep an eye on. Personally, I recommend you to stay."
"But I still want to follow you." Yuzhen thought for a while and said, "You said that Taoist Jin Guang has many people, so I can help out a little if I follow you."
"That's not what I mean when I say there are many people... Forget it, since you want to follow me, then just follow me. You may not be able to go anywhere safely if you stay here."
As Lu Jing spoke, he looked Yuzhen up and down again, and then suddenly started to take off his clothes without saying anything.
Yuzhen's face turned red. Although she was already an expert in love and didn't care much about other eyes, she was still a little scared by Lu Jing's directness. After all, the two of them were still on someone else's territory.
It's a bit inappropriate to suddenly have to have close contact.
However, Lu Jing later handed the clothes he had taken off to Yuzhen, and at the same time warned, "Tear these clothes into strips and wrap them around your exposed skin. Wrap a few more layers."
"ah?"
"Remember what I said? Remember to stay vigilant later and don't get hurt by those things, especially don't let yourself see blood. You must remember this."
"What about you?" Yuzhen looked at the shirtless Lu Jingdao, "What should you do?"
"It's very difficult to make me see blood," Lu Jing said truthfully, "Not to mention clothes, even ordinary rattan armor has no protective effect on me."
