Moonlight and wind

"Master!" After seeing the old man fall to the ground, Shan Boyu ran to the old man as quickly as possible to check his injuries, then raised his head with a look of fear and uneasiness at Shan Zimo who was not far away.

"Stop!" Shan Zimo suddenly felt his intracranial blood pressure soar. He looked at the figure flashing by in the dark street and ran to chase him. "Young Master!" Shan Boyu immediately called him, "The master..." His voice was anxious and choked. Shan Zimo had to give up chasing the murderer and flashed to the old man. "Can you move?" Shan Zimo asked cautiously.

"Bring him in!" The old woman's voice came from behind the door. Shan Zimo, Shan Boyu, Zi Zhong and Yi Yanhui carefully lifted the old man up, fearing that he would be hurt again. They went to the wing room and put the old man on the bed. The old woman sat on the side, put one hand on his pulse, sighed deeply, shook her head, raised her hand to wipe away the tears from the corners of her eyes, and walked out.

"Young Master, here!" Li took the arrow from the sarcophagus in the backyard and handed it to Shan Zimo. Shan Zimo took the arrow and compared it with the arrow on the old man's chest. "It was done by the same person!" Yi Ke took a closer look, "But there are many people who use bows and crossbows. This arrow alone cannot determine the murderer!"

At this time, Shan Boyu took out a wooden box from his bag, opened the box, and inside were bottles and jars of various medicines. These were the medicines he prepared for himself. He had gotten used to it over the years. It was inevitable that he would get injured when following Shan Zimo, and he had also learned to deal with simple injuries by himself.

Shan Boyu took out the cold arrow for the old man, just like he took out the broken blade from Shan Zimo's left shoulder. But this arrow is different from the short blade. If it is taken from the front, the reverse edge of the arrowhead will cause secondary damage. He can only cut off the arrow handle and pull the arrow out from the other end. The pain of piercing the body is also very harmful! While he was hesitating, the sharp-eyed Li suddenly shouted, "Look, the wound is starting to turn black!"

"We can't wait any longer!" Yiyanhui also saw it, "This arrow is poisonous!" "Do it!" Shan Zimo took out the dagger from his boot and cut off the handle of the arrow. Yiyanhui and Zizhong immediately helped the old man sit up again. Shan Boyu came behind the old man. This time he used a very thin line to wrap around the arrowhead, gritted his teeth, and pulled hard, and the arrowhead was pulled out!

Then they hurriedly cleaned up the remaining poison, applied medicine, and bandaged the wound. Finally, with everyone's help, the old man lay down quietly. But the old man kept his eyes closed and did not respond. In this way, everyone stayed with the old man all night, waiting for him to wake up.

At dawn, no one dared to sleep, waiting for the old man to wake up. Finally, the old man made a sound. Shan Zimo leaned over to listen to what he was saying. After listening, Shan Zimo's eyes were full of shock and sadness. "Don't think too much, it will be fine! Just have a good rest!" Shan Zimo didn't listen to the old man, but just comforted him.

The old man shook his head with difficulty and said with all his strength, "Child, time is running out. The poison on the arrow has already attacked your heart. We really can't wait any longer!" The old man coughed violently and a mouthful of blood slid out from the corner of his mouth. The blood was already tinged with blue! "Otherwise, this old man's internal strength that I have never used will be wasted!"

"Miss Qu!" Seeing that he couldn't persuade the old man, Shan Zimo turned to Qu Xuanyue who was standing beside him and said, "The master wants to pass on his inner strength to you! Come forward!" Qu Xuanyue was stunned after hearing this, "No!" Qu Xuanyue quickly refused. "Just fulfill the master's wish! Don't refuse! It may really be too late!" Shan Zimo walked over, took Qu Xuanyue's hand, brought her to the old man, and knelt beside him with her.

"My child, the whole Wu Kingdom knows that you have a rare pure Yang body. You can't use my internal energy, so why not give it to this girl?" The old man looked at them kindly. "Although I have no children in my life, I feel particularly close to you two. This internal energy is not wasted! However, I still need to borrow your dragon scale jade pendant!"

After hearing this, Shan Zimo quickly took off the dragon scale jade pendant from his waist and handed it to the old man with both hands. The old man took the dragon scale jade pendant and looked at it with a kind smile, "This is one of the most spiritual jades I have found in my life. It is my honor that it can help build a famous and upright sect!" The old man waved to Qu Xuanyue, "Come, child, stretch out your hand."

Xuanyue followed the old man's instructions and stretched out a hand. The old man placed the dragon scale jade pendant on her hand and then covered the jade pendant with his own hand. Suddenly, a jade-like green energy surged in the old man's body, flowing through the meridians from all parts of the body and finally gathered in his hand. Under the effect of the dragon scale jade pendant, the energy poured into Xuanyue's body!

After a while, the fluorescence disappeared, and the old man's arm slipped off Xuanyue's hand, and the whole person fell backwards! At this time, the old woman came in holding clothes, with a peaceful expression, as if she had no sadness just now.

"Grandma..." Shan Zimo didn't know what to say, so he quickly stood up to help the old woman. "Child, don't say more," the old woman comforted Shan Zimo, "It's your fate, and what's supposed to come will come." The old woman skillfully changed the old man's clothes, sat beside him with a smile on her face, and stroked the old man's hand.

At noon, the old man slowly opened his eyes again, looked at the old woman beside him, and smiled, "Alian, it's time for us to get on the road." "You go first, I'll follow!" The old man looked at Shan Zimo again, "Don't seek revenge for me..." The raised hand fell heavily on the bed, and he died.

"Let's go, carry him to the sarcophagus." The old woman still held the old man's hand and arranged for Dan Zimo and others to carry the old man to the sarcophagus in the backyard.

In the small courtyard in front of the woodshed, two stone coffins were neatly placed in the middle. The old man lay quietly in the stone coffin that had helped Shan Tianxiang and Shan Zimo escape their inner demons. After settling the old man, the old woman lay in the other stone coffin, and everyone else tried to stop her. The old woman waved her hand and lay down quietly. After a while, she stopped breathing. The two of them were gone just like that!

Shan Zimo and seven other people took care of the aftermath. As they walked out of the courtyard at the end of Qingshi Village, Shan Zimo closed the gate with sadness. In an instant, his sad eyes turned sharp and full of hatred. "Who do you think the murderer is?"

"If we calculate based on this time, the biggest suspect is probably the Lingyu Town Escort Leader's men." Yi Ke analyzed, "Or maybe there is a bigger force behind him!"

"Right Prime Minister?" Shan Zimo frowned. "By the way, where are those people from the Ayijin tribe? Why haven't I seen them since leaving Lingyu Town?"

"Hey!" Shan Boyu led the horse, "Don't mention it! They ran away!" "Why did they run away?" Shan Zimo jumped on the horse's back, pulled the reins, and adjusted the direction. "Young Master, as soon as we left the city gate, those people ran away!" Li pouted and said dissatisfiedly, "We risked our lives to save them, but they ran away without saying goodbye! How disloyal!"

"It's not their fault," Shan Zimo shook his head, "After all, we were the ones who sent the man and woman to the escort leader first. It's normal for them to not trust us! No need to feel bad." "Young Master, you are quite open-minded. If you can't save me with this blow, I will be buried with you!"
