There are bandits in Zhongshan

The fence was entangled with thorns, and the deer seemed to have struggled for a long time, and its hind legs were cut several times. Seeing someone approaching again, it kicked its front hooves on the ground a few times, desperately trying to run away, but was finally caught by the woman. The bamboo sticks and thorns that had been pulled out of some gaps were entangled again.

"Oh!" The woman sighed annoyedly, and then comforted her softly, "Don't be afraid, don't be afraid, she is here to help you."

She had a gentle voice without the slightest bit of impatience, as if she believed that the deer could understand, and then, seeing Chang Li approaching, she smiled apologetically: "I'm sorry, I really can't open this fence by myself. Is there no one else who can help pull these thorns away?"

Chang Li didn't speak, he held onto the fence with his hands and shook it lightly, the entangled thorns scattered, and the little deer pulled out his legs.After all, she has cultivated for hundreds of years, even if Linghai is losing money at this time, these are just a matter of effort for her.

The woman didn't see how she did it at all, she was startled for a moment, then she saw the sword box behind her, she suddenly realized and nodded, presumably she regarded Chang Li as a knight-errant.

Although the people in Jianghu do not have the supernatural powers of monks, it is normal for those with superb martial arts skills to make some elusive actions for ordinary people.So the woman was only surprised and didn't think much about it.

The deer wanted to escape after breaking free, but its leg was seriously injured, and it was difficult to move after being trapped for a long time. After walking a few steps, it slipped and fell to the ground.Seeing this, the woman hurried to catch up with the medicine box, then took out the plaster and bandage from it and began to bandage it.

The deer was still hiding at first, but gradually realized that the other party was not malicious, so it stopped struggling.The woman glanced at Chang Li while she was busy, and seeing that she didn't leave, but stood aside silently, she felt that the other party was probably introverted and not good at words, it was embarrassing, so she picked up some random words and chatted.

This is a small village. The woman lives alone in the back mountain. Because she has a little knowledge of medicine, the villagers will ask her to prescribe some prescriptions when they have a headache. This fawn.

"The hunters in the village went up the mountain together early in the morning, probably because they were scared and escaped."

Then, in a panic, he was accidentally entangled by thorns on the fence.

Chang Li let out a "hmm".

In fact, she wasn't listening very carefully, and she didn't know why she stayed.She seems to have lost the ability to think, as long as she thinks, her thoughts will fall into grotesque, accompanied by lingering pain.

The pain between the eyebrows has never stopped. Even though the body has almost recovered, the place between the eyebrows is still like being nailed into a hard nail. Even if you try to calm your mind, it will always be interrupted very quickly.

"Girl, are you uncomfortable? Why is your face so bad?"

The woman's concerned voice sounded, Chang Li opened his eyes, and found that he had fallen to the ground at some point, with one hand tightly pressed between his eyebrows, if there was anything there, it must have been crushed by her.

The fawn was nowhere to be seen, it looked like the wound was wrapped up and then left, the woman helped Chang Li up, kept apologizing, blaming herself for not seeing what was wrong with Chang Li earlier.

"My house is not far from here, why don't you go to my place to rest for a while, it's getting dark soon, girl, it's not safe for you to be outside alone." The woman suggested.

Chang Li responded, and walked towards the back mountain with her.

The woman's surname was Wang, and she said that she usually planted some herbs. There was no vacant land in the village, so she simply moved to the back mountain. Although it took about half an hour to go to the village every time, it was more worry-free.

It was a simple small courtyard, very clean, with no decorations in the courtyard, just a well, a wooden frame, and a wooden house, some herbs were dried on the frame, and the roof was covered with thick grass.

Autumn is here, the weather is getting cooler, and the roof covered with grass looks extra warm.

Changli suddenly thought of another thatched cottage, which was also cleaned very clean without any sense of dilapidation.

The pain between the eyebrows suddenly disappeared, just like every time before, it came without warning, and then disappeared without warning. She touched her forehead lightly, with a blank look in her eyes, and then, the thoughts that were drawn up by the roof grass Floating away to the peaceful lake.

It was in Taoyuan——Zhong Mingzhu called it Taoyuan.

It was still the end of summer, with sparkling light and misty mountains in the distance, like a fairyland recorded in mortal books.

It is a peach garden, but it lacks peach blossoms alone.

"Drunk and sleepy..." She whispered the words that suddenly became clear in the chaos, frowned, and said, "I shouldn't be here..."

"What?" The woman didn't hear what she said clearly, seeing that she didn't respond, she thought that she had heard wrong, moved a chair over and beckoned Chang Li to sit down, and then went out.

Fragmentary voices came to her ears, and she heard the woman was busy outside, as if she was boiling water, and after a while, there was a fragrance.

After a while, the woman came over with a bowl of steaming hot soup, handed it to Chang Li and said, "I see that your face is pale, it seems that you lack of energy and blood, just a while ago, the villagers sent an old hen, and it happened that I brought it yesterday Let’s make some soup, let’s drink some first.”

"I'm leaving." Chang Li said, her face was calm, but there was already a bloodstain on her wrist hidden in her sleeve.

In just a moment, she repeated her tricks, trying to suppress those nightmare phantoms in her heart, and instead forced herself to consider the current situation.

——She needs to go to Liuhe Pagoda and find Zhong Mingzhu.

"But it's getting dark." The woman discouraged.

Chang Li stared at the front, and said word by word: "I'm going to Liuhe Pagoda."

It was more like talking to myself.

"Liuhe Pagoda? It will take a month to go there." The woman looked at her suspiciously, and then sighed helplessly, "Forget it, girl, you think it's okay, but let's drink this bowl of soup first." , it’s cold at night, just treat it as a way to warm your body.”

Since the other party said so, Chang Li didn't refuse.

She rarely refuses.

After taking the bowl, the warm feeling instantly drove away the coldness of the fingertips.She spent countless reincarnations in that cold place, and she didn't even notice that her whole body lost temperature until she touched this bowl of ordinary hot soup.

At this time, someone came outside, and the woman went out to greet her.

It turned out that a hunter was injured in the mountains, and his companion came to ask for medicine, and chatted with the woman without a word when she was looking for medicine.Hearing that the woman saved a fawn, the man complained half-truthfully, "It's injured, even if it goes back to the woods, it won't be safe and we'll catch it. Why bother, it's better to give it to us directly to save trouble."

The woman spat and said: "It's my business to save it, it's your business to catch it or not, even if we meet next time, I still want to save it."

After hearing this, Chang Li felt faint doubts in his heart.

The woman saved the deer, and her concern when bandaging the deer did not seem to be fake, but now she has no hostility towards the hunter hunting the deer, and she can even chat and laugh with him calmly.

Having experienced so much there, she rarely encountered similar situations. She sipped the hot soup, subconsciously looking for a suitable description, but found nothing.

After finishing the soup, the woman happened to go back to the house. After a moment of hesitation, Changli asked, "If that deer will be captured by hunters soon, will you save it and release it to the forest?"

Changli didn't say a few words all the way here, the woman didn't expect her to speak suddenly, and she asked such a weird question, she couldn't help being taken aback, after thinking for a while, she realized that the conversation between herself and the Orion had been overheard, and then He smiled and said: "I don't know what will happen in the future. When I see it, I have to help. The rest depends on its own good fortune." Then he came to clean up the dishes, and said: "Orion also To make ends meet is one's own duty."

She is just an ordinary mortal woman, but she has surpassed monks by a lot in terms of tolerance.

Chang Li nodded thoughtfully, and she thought of Zhong Mingzhu's sentence "Because I wanted to do this" again.

Because he is a healer, he will not ignore injured animals, and because he is a member of all living beings, he will not criticize Orion.

Do what you want, what others do.

"Thank you." Chang Li stood up and bowed to the woman, "I should go."

The woman couldn't hide her worry, but in the end she didn't want to stay again. She smiled, told "Be careful" and watched her leave.

Chang Li didn't turn back along the path, but went around the house to the woods behind, and drew out the flying sword.

It was already dark, and there was no one on the mountain, so she didn't have to worry about being bumped into by others, but before she stepped on the flying sword, a silver thread suddenly passed by, and before she had time to see what it was, her body had already made a move. respond.

He made a wrong step to avoid the aura attacking his shoulders, and then fell back. The cold light brushed against his arms, and the trees not far away were chopped off by their roots.Then, she struck back with another blow, and the sword box behind her flew towards a certain place with great strength.

With a bang, the sword box collided heavily with something, and a few sparks burst out in the dark night.

"Who is it?" She stood up with the sword box in hand, shaking it a few times before she managed to stand still.

Just a few attacks were all based on instinct, although the opponent's several sneak attacks failed, but she also spent a lot of energy. Her body has not yet recovered. Although Akabane's medicine has cured the damage to the meridian, it cannot make up for the large loss in a short while. With spiritual power, after blocking those three sneak attacks, he became dizzy again.

A shallow silhouette appeared in front of her, and the gray cloth came into view. Wu He stared at her, his cold eyes were like poisonous snakes, and his voice had no warmth: "You have no chance of winning, why don't you come back with me if you are sensible."

Changli saw that her purpose was the same as Nanming's, so it's no wonder that those few moves just now were not killing moves.In the blow blocked by the sword box, the opponent's knife did not come out of its sheath, but she really couldn't think of any grievances between herself and those people. If she wanted to avenge Nan Sichu, she could have killed her directly. Why did she take so much trouble to kill her? Locked into the Liuhe Pagoda, he asked, "What do you want to do?"

But Wu He only sneered and said, "You will know when the time comes."

After finishing speaking, she reached out to grab Chang Li again, but in the next moment she frowned and said "trouble", but soon, a cruel smile flashed across her face, and she waved her hand, and the ground was cut off. Like a wooden arrow, it flew towards the outer edge of the forest.

Chang Li looked in that direction, the peace in his eyes was instantly shattered.

She saw a light, and then the log fell through, and the light flickered and went out.

It was the woman. She must have heard the movement in the forest, so she came here with a lantern to see what happened.Changli thought of his worries about the other party before he left, and thought: She came here because she was worried about me.

At night, even if they hear something is wrong, most normal people will choose to stay at home and wait until dawn to find out what happened.

That section of tree trunk was as thick as half an arm, which was insignificant to a monk, but it was fatal if it fell on a mortal, and Chang Li could no longer sense the woman's breath.

She is dead.

"Why did you kill her..." she said softly, "She is not from the cultivation world..."

I don't want to be found out, just use a confusion spell, which can make her return to her house unconsciously, treating it as a dream, it is one of the simplest spells, even the foundation Cultivators can easily do it. If it is the cultivation level of transforming spirits, there is no need to even recite the mantra, it is just a matter of one thought.

"Anyway, it's good not to be noticed, even if other mortals see it, it will be regarded as an accident." Wu He sneered nonchalantly, "It's just her bad luck."

Chang Li clenched his hands tightly, and there seemed to be something churning in his chest. It was a burning emotion. She had experienced it in the illusion, but those only left a faint shadow, but now she really felt the scorching temperature. .

Uncontrollably, she thought of a few hours ago, when she was in a daze like walking in a dream.No matter what he saw, he was overwhelmed by messy colors, but at this moment, some pictures suddenly became clear.

The tit lying in a pool of blood, the bursting light blue spiritual power, the gentle eyes of the woman when bandaging the deer...

The spiritual power that was almost dry in the spiritual sea surged up.

She just did what she wanted to do - Chang Li told herself this, trying to calm down the aura that was about to get out of control in her veins.

But in the anxiety, there was a faint voice, shedding the habitual indifference, as if telling an oath seriously, it happened not long ago, and it seemed to happen a long time ago.

——This is what I want to do, and you can do what you want to do too.

"Yes." She said softly.

Maybe she still doesn't fully understand it yet, but so what?

The sword light suddenly rose, and the cold white light split the night, accompanied by a long whistle.

Wu He quickly retreated to Baizhang, and looked at the scimitar in his hand in disbelief.

The scimitar has not been unsheathed yet, and there is no chance to unsheath it again, it has been broken in two.

She threw away the broken knife and pulled out countless silver threads with one hand. There was still doubt in her eyes, but she didn't have time to think about it, because the sword light had arrived, and soon she realized that Changli's sword technique had changed.

She was no longer as cold and indifferent as in the previous two fights. At that time, her swordsmanship contained just the right judgment of the situation, but now it was like a prairie fire, burning everything regardless.

The scimitar was a magic tool for transforming gods, but it was cut off by her with a single strike, and the silver thread that was trying to weave the net was also cut off in an instant.

Sen Luodian's skills are known for their treachery, but she can't avoid Changli's sword.

Chang Li didn't use any complicated sword moves, or even no sword moves at all, one swing and one stab opened and closed, it was extremely simple, but Wu He could only rely on his cultivation to force it.

The disciples of Senluo Temple are good at killing with one blow, but she was ordered not to hurt Changli, so she was afraid that she could not use her full strength. She was able to do it with ease because of her deep cultivation, but now she was under Changli's sharp sword. There is no room for a backhand.

Can't kill, but capture alive, she never expected that she would end up in such a dilemma when dealing with a Nascent Soul cultivator.

After only a few days of effort, she blocked another sword strike, and seeing that the magical weapon used to block had cracks, she vented her anger and threw it into the forest.

The magic weapon suddenly rushed down like a shooting star. With such a great power, it might destroy the creatures in the forest in an instant, but Wu He didn't care at all. She knew that there were not many people living around here. will disturb other places.

At worst, kill them all, she thought so, but saw the man in white rushing towards the forest.

Fast as a bolt of white lightning.

In the next moment, the barrier was propped up, and the light blue spiritual power entangled the magic weapon, bit by bit suppressing the spiritual power that was about to spread.

When the spirit patterns on the magic weapon were completely darkened, the light blue spiritual power dissipated together with the barrier. Chang Li knelt on the ground holding his sword, and the place he stepped on sank deeply. due to.

The cold sweat fell drop by drop, seeping into the soil, leaving a slightly darker mark.

Those fierce sword moves were all driven by emotions and could only last for a while. Now that her strength was completely exhausted, she had no strength to stand up again.

Something rubbed against her shoulder, she raised her head, and once again met a pair of wet eyes.

Only this time, there was no panic in it.

It was the fawn that was rescued by Bai Ri, and the hind legs were still bandaged.

When the magic weapon fell into the forest, she saw the deer strolling leisurely in the forest, so she rushed over and blocked the magic weapon without even a moment's hesitation.

"It's so stupid."

She heard the ridicule of the woman in gray, but she was unmoved in her heart, thinking to herself: At least I did what I wanted to do.

Wu He waited for a while, seeing that Chang Li hadn't made any other movements, he thought that she must have exhausted her strength, so she smiled triumphantly, and stretched out her hand to grab her shoulder.

At this moment, the roar of a beast suddenly sounded.

Chang Li only felt a white shadow flash in front of his eyes, and then the woman in gray disappeared before his eyes, as if being taken away by the white shadow.

Then, the flame pattern embroidered on the white cloth came into view.

The Langgan sword was moved away, and a slightly warmer embrace greeted her, a part of the tightness in her heart finally relaxed, and the last strength was taken away, she fell forward without strength, and was hugged tightly.

"Got you."

The familiar voice is gentle like a spring breeze.

She buried her head in Zhong Mingzhu's thin shoulders, felt the strength of his arms, and nodded slowly.
