There were figures running and walking all over the mountains and plains, searching in the direction of Dongting Lake. In such a late night, the other party could completely disappear from everyone's sight under the cover of night. At a place with a broken cliff, the chain bridge was disconnected from the opposite side. In the wind hanging from the cliff, Xiao Ping'er stood on a rock, looking at the dark opposite shore.
"This man's martial arts are actually average, but his internal strength is weird, but his body-lighting skills are superb."
Fanzi and Jinyiwei were patrolling around the cliff with torches. Cao Shaoqing, who was standing in the light of the fire, could not help but nodded in agreement: "No matter what, the things assigned by the governor must be completed. We cannot give him time, otherwise it will definitely happen." Leave the nest and go somewhere else.”
He saw that the woman on the rock didn't want to talk to him anymore, so he asked his men to go further away and see if there were any roads or bridges around. If there were none, he could only take a detour or send someone from below. Climb to the other side and reconnect the broken rope bridge.
After thinking about it, Cao Shaoqing decided to repair the bridge.
When the order came into effect, he found a place to take the elixir to treat internal injuries, and then meditated to regain his strength. This time, he used Bodhidharma's body as bait. He also guessed that the other party would also start in this regard, so he focused on the body. Move away and focus on that person.
It's just that in this way, Bodhidharma's body was lost and the man ran away. I wonder if the governor will blame him.
This is an opportunity to prove yourself.
He closed his eyes and sighed, and the injuries inside his body were nothing.
The color gradually turned white in the east. On the other side, the sound of clanging iron chains was heard, and the burning torches began to extinguish in this gray and bright space.
Cao Shaoqing stood up again, and the night was finally over.
……
A little further west, the sedan swayed with footsteps.
Groups of Jin Yiwei, Fanzi, either on horseback or on foot, gathered around this luxurious sedan and kept walking through the mountains at a steady speed. Not far from the sedan, two men and women were watched and walked together.
"How are you?" Zhao Mingtuo looked at the woman worriedly. She must have been injured when she blocked Demon Lord Zheng's blow. Now that she was walking all the way, she was afraid that she would not be able to hold on and fall down.
The woman shook her head, her bun swaying a little loosely, "I know what you are thinking...don't take risks. Since they didn't kill us, they probably won't kill us."
"Yes." The man responded simply, looking at the sedan guarded in the middle from the corner of his eye.
After a while, the voice finally said firmly: "Don't do anything..."
Luan Hongyi's eyes were red, she bit her lips tightly, and suddenly took his hand, not knowing what she was thinking of, "After this incident...if...if we are still alive...let's go together."
The man nodded suddenly, turned to look at her, and smiled: "Okay!"
"Are you... willing... to leave here with Hong Yi?" The woman wiped her tears in disbelief. When the other party nodded again, she burst into tears of surprise and hugged the man.
"Fool...Is there anything I don't want to do?" Zhao Mingtuo seemed to have looked away a lot, reaching out to stroke her black hair, "I have returned everything that should be paid to him. Although he is our foster father, he is only a human being after all. It's just a name, but does he really treat us as his children? The martial arts you and I practice hurt others and ourselves, and he just doesn't want us to leave him...I...I can see it."
A charming smile appeared on Luan Hongyi's face, and her white forehead gently twisted on the man's shoulder, a little shy, "Then you refused Hongyi before."
"I didn't see that you were sincere about that matter. Now that I have seen it, if you still ignore it, you are really a wolf-hearted guy. What is the difference between you and your adopted father?"
"You still call me foster father...don't call him that."
Zhao Mingtuo nodded, showing his white teeth with a smile: "Okay!"
The two looked at many things and joked for a while. Out of the corner of their eyes, a horse came to them. When they raised their eyes, they saw the ghost-faced man who had stopped them before.
On horseback, Yang Zhi stared at them for a while and said, "The governor has asked you to come over." After a pause, he lowered his voice and warned: "Don't show affection, otherwise you will be separated from each other."
After saying that, he picked up the knife and left the front, leading a group of royal guards even further. Luan Hongyi understood the meaning of the other party's words and was a little worried. The figure next to her gently patted the back of her hand, telling her not to worry, and then took the woman to the sedan curtain. Before she could speak, the voice inside was heard. out.
"The governor spared your life not because he was kind-hearted, but because he thought you were still useful. You should know the old guy's lair, so after we get there, it's up to you. If you have other thoughts along the way, our family can Put you both in a dilemma of life and death."
Zhao Mingtuo clasped his fists and glanced at the curtain warily, "Yes, please rest assured, Admiral, the two of us are willing to lead the way for Dongchang."
"That's good."
Bai Ning opened a corner of the curtain and said, "Also... tell the governor everything about the situation on the way."
Once upon a time, Luan Hongyi might have liked the feeling of being watched, especially those men who coveted her beauty, but now in that sedan, when that person glanced at her, she felt like there was a cold poisonous snake in her dress. His smooth skin was crawling, and cold sweat broke out in his nervous palms. He gently pulled the corner of his clothes beside him, not daring to make a sound.
While Zhao Mingtuo comforted the woman with small gestures, he spoke in a deep voice about the "hell" in Dongting Lake.

….ding ding….….
….ding…ding….ding….
The sound of bells sounded chaotically in the darkness, and occasionally there were babies crying. Directly in the east, two huge braziers were burning. The firelight could not push away the surrounding darkness. In the middle, a golden picture appeared. The dragon chair was placed there, and a black figure jumped up from below.
Sweeping everything on the table to the floor, he couldn't wait to put the package on his back and gently put it on, slowly and gently, just like undressing the outer layer, like Sina undressing a bride's red hijab.
The lanyard was slowly taken off, and the outer layer of cloth was removed, revealing a sitting mummy inside. The corpse had long been weathered, and the facial features could not be seen clearly, but from the sitting posture, it was possible to see the mummy. It turned out that this was the corpse of a monk.
"Bodhidharma's remains..."
"Hahaha...haha...hahahaha!!!" The figure took off the scarf on his face, revealing long white eyebrows, no beard, a rouged face, and the corners of the eyes and mouth were covered with scattered wrinkles. This face Like a piece of old cypress bark.
Extremely old.
At this time, looking at a dried corpse, he was as excited as a child, dancing. Then, a maid came over, holding a bowl of thick blood. Without even looking at it, he turned around, waved his sleeves, and directly cut the human body off. The bowl flew down the stairs and never got up again.
"... With the flesh and blood relics, why would the Zajia drink this stuff... A complete human being... I have waited for a hundred years... Finally I can understand what it feels like to be a complete man..."
The figure looked at Bodhidharma's body longingly and murmured like this. (To be continued...)
