Chapter 773 Chapter 773: Awakening 【Ask for a monthly ticket】
Although Chao Lian wished to bury the corpses for his elder brothers right now, his health did not allow him to do so, even with the help of Fourth Uncle Lin. Facing Chao Lian's gaze, Fourth Uncle Lin said slightly annoyed, "It would be nice to have a Wenxin scholar help you!"
Still despise it?
Isn’t it true that any literary scholar can kill the Quartet?
Chao Lian knew that Fourth Uncle Lin had misunderstood him, so he hurriedly explained that he didn't dislike him. In fact, he was satisfied to meet Fourth Uncle Lin in this situation. Fourth Uncle Lin's face softened after hearing this. He thought for a while, and transformed into a blue bird to send a message.
He also made a special trip to explain to Chao Lian, lest he think too much.
"Write to Shaobai and ask him if things can move."
Chao Lian didn't know who this "Shaobai" was, so he didn't take it seriously. After a while, Fourth Uncle Lin received a reply.
He turned around and fetched a golden bronze tripod.
Enduring the disgust, he picked out a plump, soft worm with his chopsticks, and handed it to Chao Lian's mouth: "I know you value filial piety and don't want to be contaminated with meat. But this thing is bred for nothing. It is a vegetarian, and eating it can strengthen the foundation and cultivate the vitality.”
Of course, this is what the master and apprentice said.
Uncle Lin doesn't know the exact effect.
Chao Lian pursed his lips and refused to open them.
Uncle Lin urged impatiently: "What are you still doing in a daze? If you continue to babble, the corpses will either rot or be buried in the pit by Shaobai. Are you still so particular at a time like this?"
Chao Lian was dubious, frowned and ate the worm.
He thought he had to endure the nausea, but the writhing worm turned into a warm current as soon as it entered the mouth, pouring into the limbs and meridians along the tongue and throat. An unprecedented clarity and breath of life flowed through the meridians, suppressing the pain caused by internal injuries.
He couldn't help asking: "What is this?"
Uncle Lin said: "The Gu worm raised by Shaobai."
Chao Lian's expression changed suddenly: "Gu worm?"
Because of Shao Chong's experience, the brothers hated the word "gu worm" to the bone, but Fourth Uncle Lin was his savior, and he was not prone to seizures, so he had to endure it forcefully.
Chao Lian couldn't help insinuating again: "The art of witchcraft is rare, I don't know where this Mr. 'Shaobai' came from?"
Uncle Lin said: "Shaobai said that you have met before."
Now it was Chao Lian's turn to be surprised: "Have you met?"
He recalled carefully, but he didn't remember that among the people he knew was "Shaobai", who was also a master of witchcraft.
Because Chao Lian was very filial and could not eat meat, but he had to eat as a wounded person, so Uncle Lin had to take out other dry food and put it in a clay pot to heat and soak until softened. While he was busy, he said, "Half a year ago, at the Shangnan County Government Office, didn't your brothers meet a young man carrying a wooden stick, and there was a brief conflict?"
Chao Lian's eyes widened: "Yes, is that person?"
Uncle Lin said: "Well, he is Shaobai."
Gongxi nationality, Jimo family, named Qiu, word Shaobai.
Chao Lian blurted out: "This Mr. Shaobai is the high priest of this generation of the Gongxi clan? Gongxi Qiu's nephew?"
Before Fourth Uncle Lin could speak, an old man slowly walked out from the depths of the cave, and he asked, "What nephew Gong Xiqiu?"
Chao Lian's heart was surging at this time.
Happiness and sadness are intertwined into complex feelings in my heart, and tears are rolling: [Brothers, have you seen it? The high priest of the Gongxi tribe is here, Thirteenth, he is completely saved! 】
The old man walked out of the shadows slowly, looking old.
The old voice asked again: "Who is Gong Xiqiu's nephew?"
Chao Lian woke up from his emotions, and told the details of Gong Xiqiu's visit after Shaobai and Shisan's conflict.
The old man listened silently and did not express his opinion.
After a long time, he asked, "What evidence do you have?"
"Gong Xiqiu and Mr. Shaobai are very similar in appearance."
Anyone who is not blind will say that the two are related by blood, the difference lies in the age and temperament of the two. Gong Xiqiu is older and naturally mature. He has been in and out of the battlefield all year round. His hands are stained with countless lives. His brows and eyes are full of sharpness and blood, just like a thorny rose that absorbs blood and blooms; It also has a bit of bewitching beauty, but it can't help him to be ignorant, clear and clean, more like a snow peony carefully cultivated and grown in a greenhouse...
The old man lowered his eyes to recall the ever-burning lights of the clan land.
There is indeed a lamp with the name "Gongxiqiu" engraved on it.
but-
"The old man has heard about Gong Xiqiu, but—Shaobai cannot be his nephew, you must have misunderstood him." Outsiders don't know the details of Shaobai, but how could the old man not know, "The age is completely wrong ..."
Don't look at Shaobai's young age, but if you count the age at which his body is still, it is enough for Gong Xiqiu to be a brother.
"Similar appearances don't mean anything. The Gongxi clan lived in seclusion for many years and lived in a closed environment. They all have more or less similarities in appearance." Ugly people are more prone to strange things, while those with good looks are more approachable.
Chao Lian was surprised: "Then why do they look so similar?"
The old man said lightly: "Is there a possibility that she prefers this kind of gods worshiped by the Gongxi people?"
The previous high priests of the Gongxi nationality all had similar appearances, but the old man was not closely related to the next high priest.
Chao Lian: "..."
Fourth Uncle Lin: "...that **** still looks at his face?"
Tsk tsk, it sounds more like an evil god.
The old man asked back: "Secular royal courts don't look at faces when selecting talents? Not only looks at faces, but also family background and bloodlines."
On this point, the gods are not so strict.
"All in all, it is impossible for Shaobai to be Gong Xichou's nephew, but both of them are clansmen. If there is a chance, we can meet each other." After all, it is impossible for me to accompany Shaobai for the rest of my life. Think about it."
After half an hour, Chao Lian recovered a lot.
Although he cannot use force, walking normally is not a problem.
He also met Shaobai, the young man was a little more mature than the last time he met, and one of them burst into tears uncontrollably, so scared that Shaobai was stunned in place, not daring to move. He didn't recover until he heard that Chao Lian came here to collect his brother's bones.
"It's not easy to find—"
He was carrying a shovel, and the big hole behind him had already been dug.
Shaobai was warm-hearted and took the initiative to help him find someone. Move out one for Chao Lian to identify, if it is not the target, put it in the pit and set it up.
Most of these corpses were mutilated, and even though they had been protected with the spirit of speech to delay their decay, the air was still filled with a disgusting smell. As if Chao Lian couldn't smell it, he repeated mechanical movements over and over again. Finally, Huangtian paid off, when he saw the hem of a person's clothes, there was a buzzing in his head, and he knelt on the ground and cried out of shape.
Shaobai looked suspiciously at Chao Lian, who was about to pass out. With his wisdom orifices blocked, he was not only not very smart, but also very slow in responding to emotions. He didn't quite understand why Chao Lian did this, he only knew that the people lying on the ground were very important to Chao Lian.
He had also seen this scene with Fourth Uncle Lin. At that time, Fourth Uncle Lin was just out of danger. When he woke up for the first time, he cried and convulsed, and even had his wound ruptured. He didn't eat or drink for several days.
Shaobai once asked his teacher, Uncle Lin, why he reacted in such a way. He obviously saved his life, so shouldn’t he be happy?
Shaobai shook his head: 【Ah Yan, don't be so uncomfortable. 】
Although he couldn't empathize with him, Shaobai was considerate and didn't disturb him, and he continued to identify after Chao Lian calmed down.
Before the sixth brother woke up, several brothers were found.
Using unskilled techniques, Chao Lian sewed up their severed limbs, borrowed clean clothes from Fourth Uncle Lin, and buried them in a relatively high place in the mountains. The tombstone faced northwest and looked thousands of miles away. outside the homeland.
As a literary scholar, Lao Liu's physique and recovery ability are not as strong as Chao Lian. When he woke up, Chao Lian's internal injuries had healed by 30%, and the Dan Mansion's martial energy had also accumulated a little, so it was no problem to deal with ordinary mountain beasts, of course not for food, but for their animal skins. The three brothers are penniless now, and they don't know where they live, so they always need to make some money to save travel expenses.
"Sixth brother, are you awake?"
Seeing the movement of the sixth child, Chao Lian was ecstatic.
The reaction of the sixth child was no better than that of Chao Lian.
When he learned that he was not dead, the bones of his brothers were carefully placed, and more than thirty men hugged Chao Lian and cried bitterly. His germinated will to die was dispelled by Chao Lian's persuasion and Shao Chong, who was still unconscious, but looked more taciturn.
"Sixth brother, my sister-in-law and nephews and nieces are still waiting for us." Orphans and widows are not easy to survive in this world. Even if the forces that take over Shangnan County are willing to treat them well and use it to make a good name for the outside world, it is still not as good as When the eldest brother was alive.
Hearing this, Lao Liu worked hard to eat and practice.
The two brothers are most worried about rushing less.
As a result, three days, five days, ten days, half a month... Except for the breath gradually returning to calm, there was no sign of waking up.
The two of them completely panicked.
Lao Liu's medical skills don't work, so he can only ask Shaobai for help.
Shaobai and the old man took turns to show it to others, and the old man even frowned and said, "His meridians have basically recovered after being repaired by Shaobai's Gu insects, and there is no abnormal phenomenon in the Pill House. It is reasonable to say that he should have woken up earlier. Isn't there something else to hide?"
The two of them thought about it and didn't know what they missed.
Until Chao Lian thought of a detail.
"...I remembered that in front of Third Brother's tomb, Thirteen looked weird, as if he had changed into a different person... It's just that the situation was critical at that time, and I couldn't take care of it for a while."
The old man pondered for a while, and roughly guessed the reason.
"If I'm not wrong, he may never wake up again."
As soon as these words came out, the two almost lost their legs.
"Can't...wake up again?"
The old man said in a low voice: "Even if you wake up, it's just a ferocious beast that will cause harm to the world. It will kill anyone it sees, even the two of you."
The sixth child took a deep breath and calmed down, and asked: "Why is this? Could it be because the seal was broken and the Gu worms in the body were released?"
Old man: "It's more serious than this, it's evil thoughts."
Shaobai was puzzled: "What are evil thoughts?"
The old man patiently explained to him: "Warrior warriors have cultivated to the pinnacle of the 15th grade, and if they want to break through the bottleneck, they need to kill their own evil thoughts. Rather than killing, it is better to control the murderous nature in their hearts. Be firm in your own way. The world is not benevolent and treats all things as dogs. This means that in the eyes of heaven and earth, all living beings and all things are the same, and a warrior who has cultivated to this level obviously has the ability to do evil. If you can’t To overcome the disadvantages of the mind and rely on one's ability to act recklessly is something that heaven and earth cannot tolerate."
"Thus, heaven and earth sent down this dangerous test."
"Slaying evil thoughts is the process of asking."
"Obviously, this son has not broken through this level."
Shaobai asked softly: "What will happen then?"
The old man said: "It will become a disaster."
After finishing speaking, he looked at Chao and Lian and said, "Cut it!"
As soon as the words were spoken, Chao Lian and Lao Liu blocked the old man with livid faces, for fear that the old man would do something to Shisan.
The old man sneered: "Keep him until he kills you?"
Chao Lian said: "Kill him, kill us first!"
Their brothers were able to survive the crack in the sky until Shaobai and the others, all depended on Thirteen's body protection. It was Shisan who gave up on his opponents at the critical moment, and tried his best to block the frontal thunder disaster for them. Such a thirteen, so what if this life is given out?
The old man sneered.
"I don't shed tears when I don't see the coffin."
Since this is the case, it is better to let them give up completely.
He asked Shaobai to use special means to wake Shaochong up.
Unexpectedly, the development of the situation was different from what he expected.
Shaochong did unleash ferocity, like a wild beast, displaying terrifying aggressiveness, but when he heard the voices of Chao and Lian, his muddy and scarlet eyes flowed a little. He hugged the sixth child, buried his head in his arms and rubbed it aggrievedly, whimpering like a beast. The old man was amazed.
The sixth child pleaded with him in a low voice: "Thirteen can clearly control it, and it will definitely not become a scourge out of control. Please save it."
The old man in front of him is full of unfathomable mystery. He is helpless, and the other party may have something to do.
The old man sighed, "Think about it again, old man."
The sixth child hurriedly said, "Thank you!"
After more than half a month, Chao Lian basically recovered from his injuries. He was going to go back to settle down with Gu Ren's widow, but the sixth child couldn't get away because he was young. In Shao Chong's situation, one of their brothers must stay and take care of him, and accompany Shao Chong to slowly recover.
"After confirming that my sister-in-law and the others are safe, I will come back."
"This road is dangerous, you should be careful."
Fourth Uncle Lin lent Chao Lian some money and said, "If there is a chance, can you help me to a place?"
"Of course."
Uncle Lin wanted Chao Lian to help him go back to the ancestral house.
Back then, he escorted his family members to escape, and went south to join relatives who had moved earlier, but encountered a catastrophe on the way, and he was the only one who survived. Coupled with the frequent wars in the Northwest Continent, he lost contact with his brother and the others completely. Fourth Uncle Lin had a bit of luck in his heart - if the eldest brother and the others still couldn't wait for them, maybe they would send someone to leave a letter at the ancestral house in Lingzhou.
If there is no news, it is destiny.
In the age of war and chaos, I have long been used to disappointment.
Chao Lian wrote down the news that Fourth Uncle Lin said one by one, and asked him for an item as a token of acknowledgment.
When Chao Lian went down the mountain, he couldn't see the figures of Lao Liu and the others, so he turned his head and glanced at the mountain where his brothers slept forever.
【One day, my brother will take you home. 】
【Back to the homeland, the fallen leaves return to their roots. 】
(σ)σ:*☆
After that, Tangmei will clean up the Northwest and become king! dominate!
