Waste phase tracking handwriting

Chapter 81 Mantis Catching Cicadas
Following Xuan Niang's prompts, Gou Yue arrived outside the city not long after, pressing the bridle and slowly looking along the road.

Sure enough, I saw a red cloth strip flying from a tree outside the city.

Before riding the horse, I saw that the red silk was tied in the south direction.

She looked carefully and turned to the south, which was a dense forest.

We walked forward again, and the more we walked, the taller the trees became, and the green trees covering the sky almost covered all the sunlight.

Going further, I saw another piece of yellow paper taped to a tree. It had been blown to pieces by the wind, and half of it was still stuck on the trunk.

Seeing the yellow paper, he turned around and headed west.

It was good this time. After walking out of the dense forest, it turned out to be a wasteland.

She was worried about not knowing which direction to go. There was no more red silk and yellow paper, and the road was about to end. An old man carrying a basket passed in front of her horse.

Gou Yue subconsciously closed her mouth and followed him without saying a word. She heard him mumbling something but could not understand a word.

This old man was about 70 years old. The basket of firewood weighed at least eighty or ninety kilograms. However, he didn't feel any difficulty at all and walked as usual.

Following the old man all the way, he didn't look back and ask Gou Yue where he came from or how he ended up here, he just kept walking.

When Gou Yue looked up again, there were dozens of small houses in front of her. She dismounted and tied the horse under a tree.

Find them one by one.

Indeed found.

There is such a family, half a gourd is hung on the window lattice, and it is cut into a gourd and hung on the window for easy use.

She knocked on the door, feeling uneasy.

Not long after, a man with a goatee and a fair complexion came to open the door.

Seeing that he was a stranger, he stepped forward and bowed, saying, "Where did the girl come from?"

Gou Yue told the truth, "It comes from Chong'an in the Golden Chamber."

His expression changed, and there was some doubt in his eyes, but he continued to ask, "Is it a staycation?"

She said no, "I'm looking for someone."

He said coldly, "Please leave early, we don't have anyone the girl is looking for here."

As he said that, he was about to close the door. Gou Yue's hand grabbed the door faster than him and took out Li Xianchen's dagger. When the man saw the dagger, his expression changed again and became a little more happy.

"The mountains end with the plains."

Gou Yue was unsure, "The river flows into the wilderness?"

He closed the door faster and was pulled tightly by Gou Yue, "Senior, wait a minute."

He said, "Young lady saw this dagger somewhere, why don't you return it as soon as possible."

Gou Yue quickly concluded, "I didn't pick it up, someone gave it to me."

He curled his lips, obviously impatient to listen to her nonsense.

"What I said is true. It was a gift from Li Xianchen of the Kongshan Sect."

"That's nonsense!" he said.

"If you don't believe me, why don't you ask him?"

He didn't accept this trick, "I don't know the person the girl is talking about."

Gou Yue became impatient. Wen Yuanzhi couldn't wait for her for so long. She had already pulled out Chang Ning and said, "Tell me, where is Li Xianchen?"

Seeing this, he became more certain that Gou Yue was an enemy rather than a friend. If it was normal, Gou Yue would slowly deal with him, but now that the situation was imminent, she was already in disarray.

"Don't tell me yet!"

He said, "The girl and I have never had any enmity. I don't know why we are facing each other with swords."

Gou Yue was angry, "Tell me where Li Xianchen is!"

Chang Ning had penetrated into his skin, oozing out a trace of blood.

At this moment, a dart hit Changning's sword, and Gou Yue quickly retracted the sword to avoid cutting the man's throat.

A man in black leaped across the roof.

Gou Yue chased after him. She relied on her intuition to recognize that this was Li Xianchen. She didn't see the face of the man in black, but she just felt that it was Li Xianchen.

He followed closely and when he was about to catch up, Gou Yue said, "Are you Li Xianchen?"

The man heard it, his feet were faster, and his Qinggong was almost slightly better than Gou Yue's. Gou Yue followed behind and saw his black hair flying in the wind.

He flew up, as agile as a flying bird. Gou Yue had never seen such superb Qing Kung in Liangzhu before. Most people who practice Qing Kung in the rivers and lakes are all escaping. Naturally, they can't care about anything when they run away, but he No, his movement is graceful, as if dancing in the wind.

In the blink of an eye, the man in black disappeared into the dense forest.

Gou Yue had just chased him to this point and had lost her direction. There was not much light here, so she was almost walking in darkness.

There were occasional roars of wild beasts in the forest, but her hand never left Changning.

Gou Yue stopped and stopped moving forward.

If he had led her here, he would not have left her alone.

After a while, a tree not far away that was thicker than the butcher's waist made a voice, "Didn't you recognize who I am?"

She affirmed, "Li Xianchen."

He laughed and said in a melodious voice, "Miss Gouyue has good eyesight."

After that, he walked out, still wearing the black suit.

"Come with me."

There is a stone hut in such a dense forest with no end in sight and no direction.

If Li Xianchen hadn't led her all the way here, she wouldn't have discovered this place at all. No matter how many people looked for it, as long as he didn't want to come out, the only companions in this forest would be wild beasts.

Stepping on the layers of rotten leaves outside, Gou Yue followed him into the stone house.

Dozens of candles were lit inside, making the room as bright as day. There was a clean bed and a small mahogany cabinet. There was a white jade screen placed near the window sill. On the windowsill was a white porcelain plum vase. There are a few flowers that Gou Yue has never seen before.

Li Xianchen asked her to sit down, and a tea set was placed on a small table.

"Girl, are you wondering why I don't go back to Kongshan Sect and want to stay here instead?"

Gou Yue thought for a moment and said, "Someone is chasing you and you are running away?"

He looked at her and smiled, "You are very smart."

Gou Yue said, "I'm really sorry, I want you to expose your whereabouts."

He said, "No need to say more, just tell me what you want to do with me?"

She said, "Save my husband."

Li Xianchen smiled and said, "What's the benefit of me saving him?"

"Whatever you want, I will try my best to get it."

Outside the stone house, there was a gust of wind in the forest. He listened to the wind blowing through the cracks in the stone and smiled, which was rare in these days.

"It's a pity, I don't lack anything."

Gou Yue poured herself a cup of tea, "If someone wants to kill you, I can kill him for you."

Li Xianchen shook his head, "If I want to kill someone, it's my own business. There's no need to use false hands on others."

"I can do whatever you want me to do."

Li Xianchen sighed, "When I was singing, I told you that I really wanted to be your friend, but the girl refused. Now that you are asking for something from me, and yet you are so humble, don't you feel ashamed?" Gou Yue said. He stood up and said, "My husband is in danger. As long as I can save him, I don't feel any shame."

Li Xianchen looked at her cat-like eyes and said with interest, "Then, please apologize to me."

"What?" She didn't understand.

"I apologize for your first refusal to be friends with me."

She was not procrastinating, "I'm sorry, it's because I'm blind and I've made the young master unhappy."

He lowered his eyes, took a sip of tea, and said, "Not sincere enough."

"What do you want me to do?"

He said nothing.

Gou Yue has already understood.

She had already lifted up her long coat and bent her knees to kneel down to apologize.

He supported me and said, "It's just nonsense on my part. Don't take it seriously, Miss."

Her eyes were filled with tears, "You really can't save A Yuan?"

He raised his hand to wipe away her tears, but then took it back timidly, "I said, asking you to kneel down is nonsense. People will save you."

"really?"

Li Xianchen said, "You go back first, and I will naturally go find you."

"We haven't left the place where we sang treasures."

He said, "I know."

"You know?" Gou Yue was surprised.

Li Xianchen shook her head. She didn't even notice that the man was in a state of withered blood. If she was sincere, she wouldn't ignore him till now. It showed that they were no longer a couple.

How can I go far with a body like that?

Li Xianchen told her how to get out of here, "I will be there in an hour. I have some personal matters to deal with."

"No, I want to take you with me."

Li Xianchen stretched out his hands, "Unless you tie my hands, you can't take me away, but if you tie me, I will never save that man."

Gou Yue had no choice but to believe him for the time being, "Okay, then we'll see you in an hour."

After that, he left.

Li Xianchen saw Gou Yue walking away.

He sat back down where he was before and said, "It's cold in the forest outside, why don't you come in and sit down?"

Sure enough, someone outside opened the door of the hut and came in.

Li Xianchen raised his head and looked, "Ms. Xuan, is that you?"

She slowly sat down in Gou Yue's seat, "Master Li, I'm sorry."

"It's really rude to be an uninvited guest," he said.

Li Xianchen said, "Gou Yue's Qing Gong is very good. I don't think you can follow her without losing her. However, I don't believe she brought you here either."

Xuan Niang said, "Of course I didn't come with her. As for keeping up with her, it is extremely difficult for me. However, with this, I can find her wherever she goes."

She sprinkled a small bottle of medicinal powder on the ground, and sure enough, there were footprints glowing with blue light on the ground a moment later, and they disappeared after a while.

"Girl Gou Yue is so eager to save people that she naturally doesn't notice these little tricks."

Li Xianchen still had a smile on his face, but the ridiculousness didn't reach his eyes, "Is Your Majesty so intolerant of the descendants of the Liu family?"

Xuan Niang also smiled, with the same superficial smile, "Whether His Majesty can accommodate you, I dare not speculate. The Twelve Guards are loyal to Your Majesty and loyal to the world."

"What you are talking about is the world of the Dachu people, and it is also the world of Modu Luandi."

Xuan Niang had the short sword in her sleeve ready, but she was just running out of time.

Li Xianchen said, "I advise you not to do this. From the moment you come in, hundreds of hidden weapons in this room will be targeting you."

Xuan Niang didn't know what was going on, and she didn't want to listen to his threats. As soon as she moved her finger, a scorpion landed on the back of her hand.

"This gadget is called Pu Xu Scorpion, and it comes from the Pu Xu tribe of Ruozhi. If you are stung by it, you have to go to Pu Xu to find the antidote. By the time you arrive, your hand will be useless."

Xuan Niang smiled and said, "I will die for Your Majesty even if I die."

Li Xianchen said, "The team that wanted to kill me should be a different team from you. You just killed me to grab the credit. Am I right?"

"Master Li, no, Master Liu, you are really smart."

He said, "I have a sensitive identity. If I wasn't smarter, I would have died millions of times. Don't you think so?"

"My mission is just to take Miss Gouyue back to the palace."

"Is it His Majesty's decree or the Queen's?"

Xuan Niang said, "If I tell you, how can I go back to Liangzhu?"

He said the same thing, "You can go."

Xuan Niang still wanted to give it a try, but the veins in the hand holding the dagger were slightly exposed, and there was murderous intent on her face.

Li Xianchen was still making tea, and the water on the small stove was boiling. He didn't seem to care at all.

"Ah!" Before she could use her weapon, a tiny centipede emerged from her sleeve. The insect's feet crawled across, and blood flowed out, as if someone had dipped a cinnabar pen into it and smeared a line on it.

She stood up and said, "You——"

"Go back. If you can't even take Gou Yue back, even if you kill me, your mission will be a failure. If you go back, it will still be a dead end?" he said.

As he spoke, he blew the tea mist on the boiling water.

"I've been poisoned, give me the antidote." Xuan Niang's eyesight turned black, and she felt severe pain in her ears just for a moment.

"It's solved. Just go out and count to a hundred, and then you'll be fine."

In the forest, Gou Yue hid in the leaves and saw Xuan Niang walking out of the stone house and followed her. She should have gotten rid of her long ago, but she still found her.

Gou Yue came back without Li Xianchen. Tai Yao'er stepped forward and asked, "Senior sister, didn't you find the silver hairpin? Oh, I said Li Xianchen, the one wearing white clothes embroidered with silver petals."

She said, "Found it, he will be here soon. How is A Yuan?"

Tai Yao'er talked with her and also entered the house.

The clear water in the basin was dyed red with blood, and Gou Yue's heart ached, "He vomited blood again, didn't he?"

She put her hand into his chest, and the warm breath gradually disappeared.

Gou Yue held his hand tightly and breathed heat on him, thinking that this would make him warmer.

She just stared at him blankly for an unknown amount of time. She began to regret why she didn't find Li Xianchen immediately when she noticed that he was losing his senses. If she had diagnosed and treated him then, he wouldn't have reached this point. .

She saw that he was so fragile that he was almost broken, and his thin face was already somewhat sunken. She felt that she could not keep such a man made of white jade, and she could not watch him disappear in this world.

If he is gone, who else will accompany her on this journey.She felt that she was extremely selfish, dumping all her emotions and anger on him, regardless of whether he could bear it or not. She sometimes spoke to him like a knife, but when she reacted afterwards, she realized that she was mean. She never wanted to hurt him, Wen Yuanzhi was The person she cared about the most was the person she wanted to spend the rest of her life with. Just because he let her go and tolerated her, she didn't care so much about his every move.

Every time she was on the verge of collapse, he would always show up to comfort her. The nightmares continued, and when she dreamed back at midnight, he was by her side, and she nestled in his arms, thinking that was what she would have forever, but in fact it was It's his love. If he is gone, who will love her as much as he does.

He lay there, still so calm, as if nothing could frighten him.

Gou Yue never understood where the power he brought to her came from. She only felt that it was a power that transcended life and death.

Li Xianchen stood outside and met Lin Xiaofeng, passed by him, walked to the door, and said, "If you don't let go of him, how can I feel his pulse?"
