Shadow and Gourd Taoist Du Boan headed west until they flew ten miles outside the city before landing on a small hill slightly higher than elsewhere. There were a few lonely courtyards scattered here, and now they were no longer inhabited. angry.
The Calabash Taoist was the first to land in a field with a wide view. As soon as he landed, he held on to the straw pile beside him, spitting out a mouthful of blood, and then coughed violently.
When the shadow fell next to him, he didn't say anything and just watched quietly.
Taoist Calabash coughed a few times and coughed up some blood clots with impurities, then took a deep breath and said, "Huh, I'm fine. This makes me feel a lot better."
He said everything was fine, but his voice was very tired and weak, and he looked like he would collapse at any time.
Shadow's left arm was hanging down, and there was no expression on his blood-stained face.
The Calabash Taoist took a moment and stood up slowly, taking a look at Heyu City in the distance where all the light beams were gradually extinguished and plunged into darkness again. It looked like a dead giant beast in the diffuse smoke, dust and water vapor. So lonely and dilapidated, he couldn't help but sigh deeply, "As soon as we leave, Heyu City will immediately be in a desperate situation. The people around Heyu City will just move north. There are so many people south of Heyu City. If you want to It is really difficult to sneak past this big city and head north."
After hearing the words, Shadow also looked back, but only once, "The people south of Heyu City are not as numerous as those in the surrounding areas and the north. After this battle, even the people in Heyu City fled. It's much better than the best-case scenario I expected. You have to know that after all, we are only mortals, not heavenly beings."
The Calabash Taoist priest nodded, "Yes, we are just mortals," he seemed to be filled with emotion, and turned to ask Shadow, "Next, how are we going to find the Lord Prefect? Does Lord Shadow have anything on his body that can be used to contact the Lord Prefect?"
Shadow's face sank, "Since he ascended the throne, he has never been alone. Therefore, now he can contact me, but I have no way to contact him."
The Calabash Taoist priest frowned slightly, and then suddenly turned towards the direction of Heyu City. He saw a faint blue light flashing in the night sky and approaching him. He stretched out his hand and made a move, but it was a water-colored talisman sword with a line of small characters "Juanxiu and Elegant" on it. , "I will stay ten miles north of Heyu City for one more day, and then return west."
The gourd Taoist priest looked at the shadow. Naturally, both of them had clearly read the words on the rune water sword, and waved their hands to scatter the rune sword. "Senior Qingyun actually wants to stay here for one more day."
"With her strength, even if a being like Nize comes, there is still a way to escape," Shadow said, "With her here, the people moving north and south of Heyu City will be safe on this day. Much more, Wangchuan Sword Sect really has the right way."
The gourd Taoist priest nodded with emotion and reached out to touch the pile of broken gourds at his waist, which made a clanging sound.
The shadow seemed to have sensed something, and disappeared in a flash. The gourd Taoist priest was startled and followed him, but caught up with him one mile west of the hill. He quickly asked, "But where is the prefect?" Have you been contacted?”
Shadow shook her head. She put a jade slip-like jade stone into her arms, looked to the west and said, "It's Qianxue. She has found the prefect and is now on her way back to Lijun. She should be arriving at the Fubo Mountains soon." ”
The gourd Taoist priest's face was filled with joy, "Sir, Lord Taishou, Ji Ren has his own destiny, and we can't do anything about the small bumps. Does Master Ying know his specific location? We'd better rush there as soon as possible to meet up."
Shadow took one last look in the direction ten miles north of Heyu City and nodded.
The two of them flew westward at an extremely fast speed. It was unknown how long they flew. It was not until the east became white that they could see the endless mountains covered with light blue mist in the distance, so cold and lonely.
When they arrived here, Shadow and the Calabash Taoist paused in mid-air for a moment. Shadow took out the jade and felt it carefully. Then the two of them flew up again, flying several miles toward the west, and then landed on the shadow side of a hill. The cliff here is steep, and a river flows slowly from west to east. The river channel is wide, and it obviously changes its course frequently. There is no trace of the village until several miles away.
There was a protruding boulder in the middle of the cliff. In an inconspicuous depression below the boulder, there was a small cave entrance. Shadow and the Calabash Taoist did not hesitate and entered one after the other.
The light dimmed, but the two of them were powerful after all, and they could clearly see the scene deep in the cave in just a moment.
I saw a layer of hay laid in the middle of the open space. On the hay, a young Taoist priest covered in mud was lying on it, unconscious. It was Luo Chuan, and there was another person lying beside him, who was deeply injured. the young woman said.
Qianxue in white was sitting next to the two of them. She was putting her finger on Luochuan's pulse gate, feeling his pulse. She was not surprised when she saw the two shadows coming in. She nodded slightly as a greeting.
As soon as Shadow saw the scene in front of him, he didn't care about anything else. He appeared next to Luo Chuan in a flash, pinched his other wrist to feel his pulse, and after a moment, he reached out and explored his forehead, neck, chest and abdomen. Then he asked Qianxue, "What's going on?!"
Qianxue shook his head and said, "When I found him more than ten miles west of Heyu City, he was already unconscious. The place was a mess. No one who fought with him was seen, and no body was found, but there were burning bodies everywhere. trace."
The shadow and the Calabash Taoist priest who came closer looked at Luo Chuan's face.
Qianxue added, "I have examined his injuries. The external injuries are not serious, and the internal injuries are not minor. I have already taken the elixir. All that is left is to wait for him to wake up and nurse him back to health slowly. Relatively speaking, Fairy Lingjing's injuries are not serious." It's heavier, so I'm afraid it won't be easy to recover." She looked up at the shadow and the Calabash Taoist Priest, and saw that they were covered in blood and very embarrassed. Her eyes especially stayed on the soft and drooping left arm of the shadow for a moment, and said, "This place is not bad. It’s safe, I’m in good condition now, you two need to recover as soon as possible, we have to return to Li County as soon as possible to be completely safe.”
"Then I will ask Miss Qianxue to protect the Dharma." After the Gourd Taoist nodded politely, he found a corner in the cave, took the elixir, and practiced cross-legged cultivation.
Shadow hesitated, looked at his left arm, and said nothing.
Looking at her expression, Qianxue guessed what she was thinking, "If you want to restore your arm to its original state without leaving any hidden dangers in the future, you must have the best trauma elixir. I know the treasure trove of Li County's prefect's palace." There are not many good things of this level in this place, but since you are following him, you must be carrying such elixirs with you. Since he can’t use them now, why are you reluctant to part with them?”
Seeing that Ying Shang was still hesitant, she said angrily, "After all, I still have the elixir that Senior Qingyun gave me as a base. Even if he is really injured again, it will be useful!"
"She's right..."
Luo Chuan's voice suddenly sounded softly, and everyone's eyes fell on him, including the gourd Taoist priest who closed his eyes and adjusted his breath.
