long night walk

Chapter 634 Master and Servant

Smelling the bloody smell that quickly diffused in the air, Bai Lian frowned, as if he understood what happened in an instant.

The hoarse and shrill coughing sound lasted for a long time before it gradually subsided. Ye Shu slowly raised half of his bluish-white side face, and leaned weakly on the ground stone. Cold sweat slid down the wet hair on his forehead to the bridge of his nose.

He wiped the shocking red blood on his palm casually on the hem of his clothes, and it took him a long time to force out a sentence with his trembling lips: "Do you have any medicine?"

Bai Lian asked, "What medicine do you need?"

Ye Shu closed his eyes wearily: "Whatever."

As for his injury, it seemed that he was ready to deal with it casually. Bai Lian felt that if he hadn't been vomiting blood so much that he couldn't bear it, he probably wouldn't bother to say this.

Bai Lian didn't know how he was injured, so he walked over to check his injuries briefly.

The withdrawn Ye Shu didn't show much resistance to Bai Lian's approach. He leaned on the stone and let Bai Lian "hands and feet" to him. Suddenly, as if he had sensed something, he opened his eyes. Looking at Bai Lian: "You can't see?"

Bai Lian hummed, and took some elixirs and spiritual stones from the clear water and jade and put them in his hands:
"Most of your body is traumatized, but the trauma is extremely deep, and it looks like you were injured by the sword energy. The sword energy has invaded the bones and viscera. These wound medicines can only stop the bleeding, but cannot remove the sword energy. "

"Use these spirit stones to restore your spiritual power. Although this sword energy is tricky, but with your cultivation base, it should take a little more effort to stabilize the injury."

Ye Shu hummed, but accepted all the gifts from Bai Lian very bluntly, and didn't say any words of gratitude such as repaying the favor afterwards.

He didn't even say a polite thank you, after taking the elixir, he said: "Follow Lin Zheng closely, although he looks very out of tune on weekdays, he still has deep plans when it comes to big things. There is really a way to bring everyone out of the devil world safely, follow him, and you will not die in such a ghostly place."

Bai Lian glanced at him and said, "The sword Qihualing that Lin Zheng brought back was actually taken by you, right?"

The sword energy of the dragon-slaying sword is not unusual.

Although Lin Zheng is a vassal prince and young master, he is respected among this group of monks, but in terms of cultivation, there are several older monks in the mine that are above him.

They didn't dare to go alone and capture the spirit of sword energy at will. With Lin Zheng's cultivation base, it was even more impossible for him to be slightly injured after successfully capturing the spirit of sword energy.

On the contrary, Ye Shu, who went out with him and came back, was seriously injured in a catastrophe, and the one who enjoyed the achievement and glory was Lin Zheng.

Ye Shu's froze-like brows and eyes showed no emotion: "As those people said just now, Lin Zheng is my master, and since I am the son of a servant, what does the sword Qi Hualing I took have anything to do with the one he took? respectively."

There was no resentment in his tone, and the word 'son of a servant' didn't seem to bring him much humiliation.

But Bai Lian noticed that he didn't respect Lin Zheng as the young master like those group of people, but called him by his first name.

In terms of temperament and conversation, he is not like an ordinary domestic slave, and his attitude towards Lin Zheng is also very subtle.

Bai Li'an couldn't see how much he respected Lin Zheng, but when Lin Zheng abandoned his identity as a young master, when he endured the humiliation and willingly became a war slave, he was the only servant around Lin Zheng.

You must know that even if the monks in Tuohaijing are in the Zeguo Shangyang Academy, they are outstanding backbone talents.

But he chose to put on a collar with Lin Zheng in this alien land, and endured the death threats from demons day and night, and lived these years without dignity and humiliation.

Bai Lian felt very strange.

In terms of these behaviors alone, Ye Shu can be regarded as a top-notch loyal soldier, and Lin Zheng doesn't look like a heartless dude. There is no courteous treatment.

Even... He was extremely indifferent to Ye Shu's life and death.

The way the master and servant get along with each other is also extremely strange.

The spirit stone given by Bai Lian has already been exhausted, but I don't know if the injury in Ye Shu's body is more serious than he imagined, or because his body is different from ordinary people, and the troublesome sword energy in his body is all on his own Cleaned up.

However, the trauma on his body did not stop the bleeding at all.

The smell of blood in the air is getting stronger and stronger.

Bai Lian had no choice but to take out the full moon wine gourd and shake it gently in his hand. The wishing beads and the wall of the gourd made a crisp collision sound. With his fingers sliding lightly to hide the trace of blood on the lower end of the gourd, he took the wine. The gourd pushed it out: "Please have a drink."

Ye Shu's eyes moved slightly, and he saw that the wine contained in the clear jade gourd barely touched the bottom of the gourd, but the wine was not enough, as expected, there was only one sip.

He took the gourd and took a sip, but he couldn't feel the feeling of the liquid entering his throat. He only felt a cool breath flowing along the throat line to his lower abdomen.

As soon as the whole body warmed up, the wounds all over the body felt numb and slightly itchy, which was very comfortable.

After a while, the blood in the stool stopped coagulating, and the wound miraculously healed with scabs.

The depleted qi and blood in the body, and the depleted spiritual power were suddenly extremely abundant, and it seemed that there was inexhaustible strength in his whole body.

Ye Shu held the wine gourd in his hand, his pale face was full of astonishment, he stared blankly at Bai Lian, and said, "This wine..."

Bai Lian said: "Anyway, he is also the hero who hunted the sword energy to transform the spirit tonight. It's just a sip of wine, it's not too much."

The fingers holding the wine gourd tightened a little. Ye Shu opened his mouth but couldn't make a sound. After a long time, he laughed at himself and said, "Hero? You are the first person to say such a thing to me. "

But he is not worthy of dreaming of a hero.

Loyalty and shedding blood have always been the privileges of people like Lin Zheng.

Ye Shu narrowed his eyes and rubbed the jade gourd under his fingertips: "But I still want to thank you for the wine. If you have the opportunity to go to Zeguo'yunzhong' in the future, I will invite you to taste the almond tofu curd from a local family. Sweet."

Bai Lian couldn't see it. When he said this, the expression on his face was very gentle and sad.

"Almond bean curd? Heh, you've been serving me for so many years, and this is the first time I've heard that you like this kind of thing."

With a sudden cold snort, the surrounding air suddenly condensed, and the atmosphere suddenly seemed to be tense like a bow.

Unexpectedly, the cold wind blew up Ye Shu's blood-stained Tsing Yi, and also took away the blood from his face.

Lin Zheng, the young master, carried two pots of wine and walked over with a drunken face. After walking a few steps, he hiccupped and came to Ye Shu's side drunkenly.

Lin Zheng stretched out his hand and patted his shoulder, without intentionally avoiding the injuries on his body, he unexpectedly said, "Yo? ’ With a cry: "Look at this body, the injury healed quickly enough, it really makes people worry for nothing."

While speaking, Lin Zheng stared at the wine gourd in Ye Shu's hand, his eyes sharpened sharply, and he sneered: "What? I think I stole your limelight, and I failed to let you drink the toast from those people, so I carried it behind my back. Did I sneak a drink here alone?"

Ye Shu leaned back slightly, as if he hated the smell of alcohol on his body, seeing his expression changed, he quickly returned the wine gourd he was playing with to Bai Lian.

However, Lin Zheng didn't seem to feel the presence of Bai Li'an, and threw the jar of wine in his hand into Ye Shu's arms, the wine splashed out and stained his clothes: "Since you are so elegant, come and have a drink with your master. "

Ye Shu didn't even pick up the wine jar that was almost thrown at him rudely, and he was dumbfounded, allowing the jar of wine to fall to pieces on the ground.

The clear aroma of wine overflows.

Lin Zheng's expression turned cold, and he was about to explode when he saw Ye Shu raise his dark and cold eyes numbly. He didn't speak or get angry, he was silent and restrained.

That kind of eyes looking straight into people's heart made Lin Zheng inexplicably terrified.

After all, Ye Shu didn't say anything, not even a word of condemnation for the precious saber he damaged.

He slowly propped himself up, and pushed Lin Zheng away, as if to keep a distance from him, like a beast smelling the scent of a hunting knife, he hunched his back and went further away.

Lin Zheng was carrying the remaining jug of wine, his expression had become extremely ugly.

It wasn't until Ye Shu's back completely disappeared between Mo Lin that Lin Zheng withdrew his gaze and turned to look at Bai Lian. The spikes and malice all over his body were cleaned up in an instant, and he smiled at Bai Lian , said: "Brother is also a disciple of Taixuan, right? It's so late, and the earth veins are very cold, do you want a drink?"

Bai Li'an said: "We were in the cave just now, haven't the young master and those fellow Taoists had had enough?"

"Fellow Taoist?" Lin Zheng sneered, his words were extremely disdainful: "It's just a bunch of flatterers."

Bai Lian looked surprised.

Lin Zheng sat down on the stone that Ye Shu sat on just now, and said: "They are all trophies captured by the demons. They threw themselves into the slave camp and were deprived of their dignity and human rights. When they wore that collar, they looked like dogs. From the moment they were raised by the devil, they are not my friends."

Bai Lian made up his mind and said, "I think the collar on the young master's neck should have been taken off not long ago, right?"

Lin Zheng's drunken face froze, and then he said helplessly: "If it wasn't for the downfall of my family, why should I let the blessing of the noble young master come to this ghost place to suffer as a slave."

"Then what about Ye Shu?"

"what?"

"I think that Ye Shu is quite different from the flattering people that the young master said, so for some reason, the young master seems to be more disgusted with him?"

Mentioning Ye Shu, Lin Zheng's expression darkened in an instant, he raised the wine jar in his hand and took a sip, and said, "If your father gave birth to an illegitimate child outside and brought it home to raise, you would also treat him as well." I can't like this guy."

illegitimate child?
Bai Lian was startled, but he didn't expect it to be because of this.

Lin Zheng laughed, with complex emotions intertwined and swaying in his eyes: "Perhaps in Your Excellency's eyes, my behavior of borrowing the sword just now was extremely domineering and unreasonable, and I was bullying others with power, but to be honest, I think that sword Baishuijian has been unpleasant for a long time."

It can be seen that Lin Zheng really hates the group of people in the cave. Regardless of Su Jing whom he admires and respects, those two girls are even more arrogant than him, so naturally it is impossible for him to listen to his worries so patiently thing.

Now that he finally got Bai Li'an as a listener, he didn't have so many taboos when he was drunk.

"Bai Shui Sword, the Sword of Inheriting Dao of Shangyang Academy, huh...there are only two Swords of Inheriting Dao in the Academy, except for the Baishui Sword that was destroyed today, there is also a Black Mountain Sword in my father's relics , Hehehe, what a black mountain and white water."

"Before my father died, he sealed the Black Mountain Sword forever. Even though I didn't even have the right to take a look at it, he passed the White Water Sword to Ye Shu."

Lin Zheng's expression was filled with unspeakable bitterness and resignation: "I am an orthodox son of a marquis. My father did not pass the sword to me, but to an illegitimate son like him. Do you know how the subordinates of the guest ministers in the mansion think of me as a little marquis? ?”

So he would rather destroy the sword that symbolizes the reputation of the Hou Mansion with his own hands than let Ye Shu hold the sword anymore.

Bai Lian couldn't make a statement, he had never experienced such a rich family's grievances, and he didn't know how to comfort Lin Zheng, so he continued to remain silent.

Lin Zheng finished the jar of wine in his hand, and was so drunk that he couldn't sit still: "I, Lin Zheng, am just a mortal, and I also have selfish intentions. I just want to be a good young master. If Ye Shu is not Daddy's illegitimate son , I will definitely treat him as a brother, I will definitely..."

I don't know whether the murmured and firm words were for others or for himself, but Bai Lian could feel that the Baishui sword was destroyed in his hands, and Lin Zheng's heart seemed to be much better than Ye Shu's. Where to go.

In the end, Lin Zheng was so drunk that he couldn't speak clearly, and the empty jar in his hand fell, and he fell to the ground without any image, sprawled in all directions.

After the night of drunkenness, the team tidied up and got the guidance of Jian Qi Hualing, with a clear purpose and ready to go.

Bai Lian followed the crowd and was about to set out on the road when footsteps sounded beside him, but it was the young master Lin Zheng who had been drunk all night.

He scratched his head in embarrassment, and stuffed a bamboo stick into Bai Li'an's hand: "I was so drunk last night that I made my brother listen to the drunk talk of me all night, and my eyes are inconvenient. This morning I found a ground yin bamboo to make a walking stick, this ground yin bamboo has the effect of warding off evil spirits, with this bamboo in my hand, it may be more convenient for you to do things in the earth veins."

Bai Lian didn't reject his kindness, he nodded and said with a smile: "Don't worry, Young Master, since it's drunk, I won't remember it."

Seeing what he said, Lin Zheng breathed a sigh of relief, he laughed and said, "As expected, I still like Taixuanzong's disciple the most."

Xu Shi experienced a night of drunken conversation, and Lin Zheng was also very affectionate to Bai Li'an.

Although he was extremely courteous and courteous to the fellow monks, anyone with a discerning eye could see that Lin Zheng's attitude towards Bai Lian was different from that of ordinary people.

Bai Li'an also found that this person's self-familiar ability is really comparable to that of Mencius Fei, but in terms of mind and character, he is quite different from Mencius Fei.

Mencius is a man of great wealth. He is good at dancing with long sleeves and has a slick face. If he has complicated thoughts, he will never let others see the slightest bit. He treats people, no matter whether they like them or hate them, he is basically a gentle and gentle person. appearance.

Compared to Mencius, Lin Zheng is not so thoughtful. As he himself said, he is just a mortal with selfishness, so it is difficult to be honest.

After Bai Lian and Lin Zheng got acquainted gradually, in private, Lin Zheng didn't hide his plan on how to steal the Dragon Ball and leave the Demon Realm, and told him all about it.

Lin Zheng's plan is very selective.

His plan is to go deep into the dragon's veins, and use the secret method to seize the dragon ball under the condition that the dragon sword suppresses the underworld dragon.

At that time, the dark dragon breath that lost the dragon ball will naturally leak out of control.

According to legend, there is actually a sixth dragon-slaying sword hidden in the veins of the earth, but when the old devil sealed the underworld dragon, the dragon ball protected the heart, and the sixth dragon-slaying sword could not penetrate the defense of the dragon ball, so it was lost in the veins of the earth. among.

He could find the sixth sword connected with its blood by virtue of the sword's ability to transform into spirits. At the moment he got the dragon ball, he inserted the sixth sword into the heart of the dragon and suppressed it again.

At the same time, at the moment of obtaining the Dragon Ball, another person swallowed a breath of the underworld dragon, introduced it into the body, and then used this person as a hole card to check and balance the demon king, and left it in the ground veins.

The rest of the people brought the dragon balls to negotiate with the demon king, asking her to open the gate of the realm and let them return to the world.

If he does not agree, the fellow Taoist who swallowed the breath of the underworld dragon will be martyred. With the help of the breath of the underworld dragon, he will refine himself into a demon, feed the billions of fierce spirits under the earth veins, and let them go berserk. The entire demon world died together.

This plan was really well laid out, Lin Zheng clearly grasped what the Demon Lord's weakness was, and also knew how to minimize the cost of success.

But the problem is that in the earth veins, everyone is a mortal, and they are all mortals who would rather put on a collar and live.

Everyone wants to return to the human world with the dragon ball shining and infinite.

Who is willing to sacrifice themselves to help others?
The answer Lin Zheng gave was that these people have children, family members and close relatives in the world. They cannot sacrifice for strangers, but in the face of great interests, there are always some of them who are willing to complete this task in order to fulfill their families. planned.

But Bai Lian still felt that this idea was not a perfect solution.

People's hearts are unpredictable and sea water is difficult to measure. How many people can be generous in the face of death?
Seeing how confident Lin Zheng was about his plan, Bai Lian vaguely felt that he might have already made up his mind about who this candidate would be.

It seemed that Lin Zheng was bound to win the Dragon Ball, even if Bai Lian tried to persuade him to stop, it would only arouse his resentment and suspicion for no reason.

Bai Lian was the most able to calm down and was not in a hurry, so he decided to play it by ear.

After all, although Lin Zheng's plan seems to be well-planned, the Dragon Ball of the Underworld Dragon may not be so easy to obtain.

Under the guidance of Jian Qi Hua Ling, everyone passed through the huge valley of mineral veins and came to a ten-mile deep pool.

The Ten Mile Pool was pitch black, like a huge black mirror floating between the ground, the lake water was rippling with cool light, occasionally you could catch the clear and turbid mayflies gliding in the water.
