Comprehensive film and television: Make trouble before lying down
Chapter 234 The Great Dream Returns 23
Jiuning readjusted his sitting position and found a more comfortable position.
Zhuo Yichen was afraid that she would fall, so he reached out to protect her. Just when he thought he would not get an answer, Jiu Ning spoke.
“Maybe…”
In response to this nonchalant answer, Zhuo Yichen lowered his eyes in disappointment, and the smile on his face gradually faded, but the hand that was protecting Jiu Ning did not waver at all.
"I'm afraid that in ten or twenty years, you'll be covered in wrinkles, while I'll still be as young as ever... If you let me see a face like that, just thinking about it makes me... "
Just thinking about it, Jiuning shuddered all over. This must be the difference between immortals and mortals!
Zhuo Yichen also understood what she meant instantly, and couldn't help but curl up the corners of his lips again.
In the past, he had not practiced the Ice Art, so his lifespan was naturally no different from that of an ordinary person. But now, not only does he practice it, he is also often fed with various spiritual fruits.
While feeling happy, the protective hands instantly embraced the person, tightened his arms, and whispered promises in the ear.
"Then I will strive to achieve success in my cultivation as soon as possible, and you must also promise not to leave me."
After he finished speaking, the tips of his ears turned red. He was not good at expressing himself, and this was the first time he spoke his true feelings so bluntly.
Jiuning leaned in his arms and relaxed her body. There was no lofty oath or promise of everlasting love, just a single word "good", but it was as heavy as a thousand pounds.
Seeing that it was getting dark, they also needed to quickly deal with the disabled beasts near the periphery. Just as the two were about to get up, a man dressed exactly like the masked man in the cave appeared in their sight.
He stopped at a distance, and when Zhuo Yichen looked over, the man took several steps back in fear, raised his hand, and threw a bell at Zhuo Yichen's feet.
"If you want to save him, you can exchange Zhao Yuanzhou's inner elixir for it."
Before the two men could figure out what was going on, the man in black took off running and disappeared in the blink of an eye, just as quietly as he had come.
Judging from the situation, they won't be able to wait for the person behind the scenes to show up. The commotion this time is a bit big, so they should restrain their strength a bit and let them think they still have a chance. What a pity.
"Okay, don't feel sorry. If he shows up next time, I'll control him immediately."
Zhuo Yichen tried to comfort her softly, but Jiu Ning didn't feel sorry for this one person, she felt sorry for not being able to catch more people.
Zhuo Yichen picked up the bell on the ground and looked at it carefully.
"This looks like the bell Bai Jiu wears on his ear."
Their contact was too brief and they didn't recognize each other at first. Otherwise, they would have detained the man in black no matter what, and he would have let him escape. They were really careless.
"It seems that Zhao Yuanzhou and the others saw the secret signal and brought Bai Jiu with them. I wonder what happened along the way?"
The two of them could no longer rest, so they hurriedly packed their clothes and prepared to leave the mountains. Just as the man in black was coming from the direction, Zhuo Yichen felt a surge of pressure coming towards him.
"who?"
As he drew his sword and stood alert, the person who came also showed up.
"Zhao Yuanzhou, why are you... so..."
Jiuning was too embarrassed to describe it. His clothes were disheveled and torn, and he had bruises all over his body.
The few people were relieved to see Jiu Ning. They had had a very difficult journey.
"Jiujiu, Master Zhuo, have you seen Bai Jiu coming in this direction?"
Zhuo Yichen shook his head helplessly and spread out the bell in his hand. Everyone recognized that it was Bai Jiu, who often wore it on his ear.
"Someone just gave us this bell and said it can only be exchanged for Zhao Yuanzhou's inner elixir."
"These people are so despicable that they don't even spare children."
The three of them looked at each other, and finally Wen Xiao stood up and told what had happened.
At first, they were waiting at a crossroads, but were led away by a captain of the guards from Chongwu Camp to fight with a man named Li Lun.
When I returned to the intersection, it was empty. There was not a single person on the entire street.
Jiu Ning listened to Wen Xiao's story, but kept complaining about the Chongwu Camp's work in his heart.
They can not only recruit soldiers, but also requisition houses and land, but the Demon Hunting Bureau does not even have the most basic configuration. Zhuo Yichen has to recruit personnel, and even the office location is contributed by his home.
This is not just a comparison between biological father and stepmother. They don't care about the protection of the human world for tens of millions of years, so don't blame her for taking action.
As soon as she got out, she announced that the demonized people created by Chongwu Camp could be controlled artificially.
When the time comes, those people above me will be worried if they use it. If they don’t use it, they will be unwilling to accept it and it will upset them to death.
"After that, we followed the secret code all the way to the outskirts of the mountain. We lost contact with Bai Jiu while fighting a monster with talisman paper attached to it."
Wen Xiao was full of self-blame, and tears welled up in her eyes.
"It's all my fault. Why did I take him on this adventure when I knew he couldn't protect himself?"
"Wen Xiao, don't blame yourself. This is all because the people in Chongwu Camp didn't log off. Luckily, we were separated not long ago, so there's still time to track them down."
Jiuning's mind raced, thinking about what might happen next.
How to rescue people is a problem. She doesn't think that the other party will simply send some people to ambush like before.
Apart from Pei Sijing, any one of them alone would not be able to be dealt with by the losers in Chongwu Camp.
Wen Xiao's spiritual power was slightly weaker, but she cast a sealing spell on herself, so no matter how the Chongwu Camp attacked with weapons, they could not hurt her at all.
It can be said that this group of people can conquer the human world, not to mention the wilderness. The only thing they lack is some experience, fighting experience.
Jiuning expressed her doubts and also thought of a solution.
"How about we put on a show in front of the Chongwu Camp, injuring Zhao Yuanzhou right in front of them, and taking out the inner elixir before their eyes, in exchange for Bai Jiu's safety. Once we figure out what they're up to, we can capture them all in one fell swoop."
Jiu Ning nodded in satisfaction. Taking the pill in person would be very credible. Maybe the person behind the scenes would show up in person!
"no--"
"You are too cruel!"
Two voices sounded, and the four of them shook their heads at the same time, none of them agreeing with her idea.
"why!"
"I am a great demon who has lived for tens of thousands of years. Is this how you treat me?"
Zhao Yuanzhou stared at Jiu Ning's face, gritted his teeth, and looked up and down, obviously scolding her.
"You—just try to curse me with your eyes. Believe it or not, I will turn the fake pill into a real one. Even if you cry to death, I won't return it to you."
Jiu Ning raised his fist and threatened fiercely. Zhao Yuanzhou looked at Zhuo Yichen, who also had a suffocating expression on his face.
"Even if I agree, are you sure Lord Zhuo can act it out?"
With just one sentence, everyone turned their eyes to Zhuo Yichen, and Wen Xiao even burst out laughing.
"It's a good idea, but isn't it too much of a burden for you to ask Xiao Zhuo to act with you?"
Jiu Ning had to admit that Wen Xiao was right and Xiao Zhuo couldn't act it out.
She also wanted to let the people see clearly the process of Chongwu Camp's work, and then publicize them well to make their reputation even worse.
Now it seems that we have to find another way.
"I...I can...I can try!"
Zhuo Yichen pulled at the corner of Jiuning's clothes, still struggling in his heart.
"My righteous Lord Xiao Zhuo, you can't deceive people. The other party will see through it at a glance, so think of another way."
"Yes, let's find someone to talk to first..."
Zhao Yuanzhou tracked Bai Jiu's breath, while Jiu Ning and others followed him steadily. Two hours later, they stood at the entrance of a small town, in front of the inn, and at the door of the upper room.
Several people looked at each other, Zhao Yuanzhou pointed inside the house first, and then nodded in confirmation.
Before he pushed the door open, a streak of red flowed out along the side of the door, and the smell of blood hit him in the face.
With a bang, several people kicked the door open with force. What came into view was Bai Jiu lying on the bed covered in blood, and four people on the ground.
They were covered in wounds and still bleeding, with only the slightly rising and falling of their chests proving they were still alive, but that would no longer be certain the next moment.
Jiu Ning first took Bai Jiu's pulse and checked his whole body. He found no injuries, but he had been given medicine, which had not yet caused any symptoms. His pulse was also stable, and it was unclear what effect it had.
The rest of the people were easy to deal with. The fourth level of her Glazed Holy Light Technique had healing properties. Although they were ordinary people, as long as she controlled her spiritual power delicately enough, there would be no problem.
While Jiuning was providing treatment, Chongwuying was also busy. As soon as they received the news that several people had entered the inn, they immediately took action.
"Someone's been murdered, come and see!"
"A group of people came to the inn and killed everyone they saw. Everyone, go and help."
Hearing the shouts, the villagers in the town picked up their tools and rushed to the inn angrily at a very fast speed.
As soon as Jiuning stopped, a group of people rushed in. As soon as they came in, they saw blood and people on the ground.
The scene was simply horrific.
"Ah! That's my man, you... I'm going to fight you."
"Gou Wa! That's Gou Wa, go and inform the mayor."
They were all residents of the town, and they were recognized one by one at a glance, and they all ran around to tell each other.
More and more people gathered in the inn. Looking at the bloodstains flowing on the ground, no one thought that the villagers in the house were still alive. They didn't even ask about the situation, let alone call a doctor.
The family members were crying so hard that they were about to faint, and the people at the door would stop them from entering, only trapping the people who were already in the house.
"Hurry up, the mayor is here."
When they heard that the mayor was coming, the villagers naturally made way for him and greeted him.
"The mayor—"
"The mayor—"
Jiu Ning and a few others were sitting around Bai Jiu. When they heard the commotion outside, they all looked at the person who came. He was an old man with a head full of white hair, about seventy years old. He was in good health and did not hunch over when he walked.
Even with his hands behind his back, his back was straight.
"Young friends, could you please explain what is going on?"
The old man had a kind attitude and a smile on his face, and his eyes went straight to the people beside the bed.
Zhuo Yichen stood at the front holding the Yunguang Sword, saluted the old man with a fist, and handed over the badge.
"We are officers from the Monster Hunting Division. Here are our badges."
The old man took it, examined it carefully for a moment, nodded, and then returned the badge.
"We have been tracking this all the way here, and when we came in, we saw this scene. And the people who got into trouble were not caused by us."
Zhuo Yichen was upright and had the badge as evidence, so he naturally did not forcefully accuse him of murder, but he also looked embarrassed.
"Sir, you see, my town is not big, and there are no officials stationed here. I can't make the decision on whether to kill a dead person. I wonder if you could stay for another day and wait for the officials to arrive before leaving?"
Everything the old man said was reasonable, but it also seemed unnatural.
"Who said everyone is dead?"
When the villagers outside the door heard this, they refused to do it and immediately started to incite people.
"You little girl, how can you lie with your eyes open? This person is clearly lying on the ground, how can you still say they are alive?"
“That’s it—that’s it!”
Except for a few family members crying at the door, no one else seemed to care about the victim. Only the family members' eyes lit up after Jiuning finished speaking, while the others immediately denied it.
This is not normal! ! !
The old man was still smiling, raised his hand to signal everyone to be quiet, and turned around slowly.
"Why, isn't he dead yet?"
"Shouldn't I be happy that I'm not dead?"
Jiu Ning bluntly exposed the other party. These people were too weird. Chongwu Camp could not have put them here just to let them get familiar with their place.
The smiles of several villagers froze on their faces immediately, and then they became angry and started cursing.
"You were the ones who killed him, yet you still dare to argue."
But the old man stood there without moving. He didn't get angry, question, or care about the victim. Instead, he cast his gaze at Bai Jiu on the bed from time to time.
Their situation seemed more like they were stalling for time. Jiu Ning looked around and indeed felt a faint fluctuation of spiritual power, but she did not understand the formations of this world, nor did she know what the other party was planning.
"After all, someone died. You'd better explain it to the villagers."
The old man was still smiling. If the scene hadn't been so bloody, he would probably have had a pot of tea and a few sips.
Jiu Ning didn't waste any time and walked forward to help one of them up, tearing off his bloody clothes, revealing his fair skin without a single scar.
“Wake up… wake up.”
I reached out and clapped twice, and the man gradually responded. His fingers moved, his eyelids moved, and then slowly opened.
"Not dead, really not dead!"
The other family members didn't bother to stop them and rushed forward to their family members to check the situation. Then they all cried with joy and laughed out loud.
"I'm not dead, I'm really not dead! Thank you, thank you so much."
Several family members knelt down and kowtowed to express their gratitude in a low voice.
"These people were indeed seriously injured, but we immediately provided medical treatment after we discovered them, and they are now fine. Is there any other problem?"
The old man's smile was stiff, and he even looked back at Bai Jiu on the bed frequently. After noticing that his eyelids moved slightly, his smile became sincere again.
"Good—excellent! You gentlemen are truly capable. Now that the person has been saved, everything is fine. I still have some things to do, so I'll be leaving first."
