呲~
The subtle sound of a sharp blade cutting through flesh came from behind him!
There is a third person in the room!
The moment he was attracted by the person in front of him, the person behind him slashed his back with something sharp!
A numb feeling spread from the lower back to the whole body.
His vision went dark, and he fell forward unconsciously.
Just before his face touched the floor, a soft hand caught his forehead.
Something was stuffed into the flesh and blood that was cut open on the back.
This was the last thought in his mind, and then his consciousness fell into the boundless darkness.
...
Su Xing opened his eyes, he was the only one in the room and everything was as usual.
He took off his coat, covered himself with a quilt, and was lying on the bed.
The warm sunshine shines in from outside the house, brushing against the warm bedding, exuding the fragrance of sunshine, and creating a peaceful atmosphere.
The sun is quite bright. Did you sleep a little longer today?
Yesterday, I went to help Xixi with the rain. I was a little tired. I didn't remember much after I came back. I seemed to have fallen asleep as soon as I came back, but... it seemed that I had forgotten something.
If there is a layer of paper separating it, it cannot be broken through and cannot be seen clearly.
Su Xing frowned, suddenly remembering the mist illusion in the bamboo forest yesterday, and finally the giant fusang tree flashed in his mind.
With a thought in my heart, I sat cross-legged on the bed and started the "Fuso Life Technique"
His brows wrinkled slightly inadvertently, and then quickly relaxed.
I meditated calmly for another half moment before getting up and getting dressed.
On the outside, his behavior is normal, not much different from every morning when he is on duty in Dongshan.
It’s just that there are huge waves in my heart!
I just ran "Fuso Life Technique" and thought about what happened last night.
Emerald green spiritual energy flows in the body, and the sea of consciousness becomes clear. The layer of fog in my mind that I couldn't see clearly dissipated.
Everything that happened last night that was weird and unexpected, and everything that happened until the moment he lost consciousness, came to mind.
There are two people staying in his house, ambushing him!
He has a higher level of cultivation than himself and has rich experience.
He wrapped his hair around the wooden door. If someone pushed the door in while he was away, he would definitely find out.
The only "passage", the window, is simply a square hole drilled into the wooden wall. In order to prevent wind and sun, several wooden boards were nailed together. Only a few gaps were left, which were covered with paper to make it difficult for people to enter.
The strange figure was already waiting inside the house. Could it be that he had used some kind of Taoist magic to enter the house. Then I wonder if the other party realized in advance that he had some arrangements?
On the surface, Su Xing was dressed as usual.
Although the room was quiet now, he was not sure if anyone was spying on him. If he hadn't possessed the "Fuso Life Technique", he would have lost his memory of last night and would have been completely unprepared.
He is now pretending not to know anything about it.
Pour the remaining mountain spring water in the wooden barrel in front of the bed into the basin, start to wash your face briefly, and continue to force yourself to think calmly.
First of all, there should be no fear for his life in the short term. Otherwise, he would have died last night.
Thinking of this, my heart gradually calmed down and my mind became active.
Secondly, the two people last night were not necessarily much stronger than themselves.
Otherwise, there is no need to be mysterious and have one person in front attract your attention. Then another person attacks him from behind.
Yes! behind!
The consciousness is concentrated on the waist and back of one's body, as if watching from the sidelines, checking the condition of the inside and outside of one's skin.
Wow!
With a shake of his hand, the water in the basin surged.
To cover up, he simply picked up a handful of water and splashed it on his face.
The cold mountain spring slid down, revealing Su Xing's ugly face.
On his back, from the root of his spine, wisps of black lines rose like smoke, converging and rotating in the middle of his waist.
A black, branched flower was blooming from his back.
My consciousness was tested, but there was no response. These marks were like ordinary tattoos.
But based on last night's experience, he understood that the "flower" that the other party had gone to so much trouble to plant on himself was by no means simple.
But why?
Su Xing frowned, what thoughts flashed through his mind?
Because Han Qiaozhi helped her in a high-profile manner, and offended some people in the sect? Or do you want to use yourself to tease the other person?
Lin Xixi helped her cast rain because she chose the spiritual rain technique? Senior sister Yu Lifeng took action against herself?
The mysterious woman in white who appeared briefly in Mist Mountain yesterday?
Oh shit.
Su Xing couldn't help but curse in his heart, why are they all women?
"Ahem."
Suddenly, there was a cough that seemed to be inadvertent outside the house.
Su Xing frowned slightly, but felt a little calmer inside.
He seemed to have been dressing and washing normally just now, except for sorting out what happened last night.
He also considered that the inside of the house seemed normal, but he didn't know if there would be something waiting for him outside.
So, it's a bit of a delay.
Fortunately, I have heard that pretentious cough many times recently.
It belongs to Mr. Li, the director of the medicine garden.
Su Xing tidied up again and walked to the door. The wooden door was also bolted from the inside.
Gently removing the wooden bolt and listening to the noise outside, Su Xing suddenly opened a crack in the door.
Through the gap, Mr. Li was sitting on an old wooden table in the wooden courtyard, touching his throat, as if he was preparing to cough twice more.
The crack of the door only paused for a moment, and then Su Xing opened the door naturally.
Go out and take a look around, everything is as usual.
After what happened last night, Mr. Li seems to be a lot more friendly now.
I thought for a while and prepared to apply to Mr. Li to leave Dongshan for a while. He planned to go down the mountain to find Han Qiaozhi for help. When he was in a desperate situation, the only powerful person he thought of who could help him was her.
Walking up to him, he cupped his hands and said:
"Good morning, Mr. Li. Su Xing went to Yuli Peak yesterday to provide rain. He got up late today because of this. Please punish Mr. Li."
Actually, these are all kind words.
Ling Zhifu's management was originally loose, especially the medicinal garden where mass-produced medicinal materials were grown. If you don't pursue some reward rankings, as long as the amount of medicinal materials you turn in every month reaches a minimum standard, no one will care about how many times you update it - of course, it is not easy to meet the minimum standard.
What's more, Su Xing still has connections behind him.
"Haha, Brother Su, you are so polite." Mr. Li seemed to take advantage of it and pinched the short, stiff beard at the corner of his mouth. "I know that you worked hard for the sect yesterday, and I feel very sorry for you. I would rather wait in the courtyard than disturb you. you take a rest."
The corner of Su Xing's mouth twitched. He didn't know who was coughing on purpose just now. Wasn't it just to let him come out to greet him quickly?
However, hearing Mr. Li's familiar gag, Su Xing seemed to have returned to his daily routine on duty in Dongshan, and his heart felt much calmer.
"By the way, I came here this time to discuss something with you."
As Mr. Li said, a person suddenly walked in outside the wooden house.
tread.
tread.
tread.
The steps were very light, but each step seemed to step on Su Xing's heart.
The warm summer sun shone on his face, but he felt like he had fallen into an ice cave.
With a twitch in the corner of his eye, Su Xing just glanced at the man and continued to lower his head to listen to what Mr. Li was saying.
I just glanced casually from the corner of my eye and saw the man walking towards me with a light on his back.
The silhouette of the figure is illuminated by the sunlight. It was almost the same as the weird silhouette with its back to him last night!
It's just that one is facing and the other is facing away.
Mr. Li was still chattering to himself, and every word reached Su Xing's ears clearly, but he could hear it intermittently.
"Yesterday... I came to visit... and it was a first-level pharmacist..."
"Planting...first-order elixir...investigation...finally"
"He will stay in Dongshan for a while."
The last sentence, complete, poured into Su Xing's ears word by word.
