"You were bitten on the bridge?"
Yin Xiu stepped forward and found that the bite marks on Lei Zhong's hand had penetrated deep into the bones, and the surrounding flesh and blood had turned black, emitting a foul smell.
"You underestimate me too much. Can those few zombies hurt me?"
Lei Zhong took his hand back with a snap, looking unhappy.
"While fighting with those gangsters in the main forum, a zombie sneaked in and bit a few people.
I didn't pay attention and was bitten on my hand by one of my own men. "
As he said that, he looked at Yin Xiu again, "Is it no longer curable?"
Yin Xiu nodded, "This wound is already deep into the bone marrow. In addition, you have been fighting and the blood flow is fierce. Now the corpse poison has traveled through your eight meridians, and it is difficult for the gods to save you."
"Oh, I knew that even if you, a Taoist priest, said that, it must be hopeless. But I still have something to ask you."
"You ask." Yin Xiu said calmly.
"Well, let me ask you, which one is scarier, zombies or humans?"
Yin Xiu glanced at him and said, "To ordinary people, of course they are zombies."
Lei Zhong laughed dryly, "But you are not an ordinary person, so I want to know what you think."
"Is it important?"
"It's very important to me." Lei Zhong looked serious.
"Okay." Yin Xiu nodded, "Actually, zombies are just people who didn't spit out a breath when they died, and there was a mistake in timing and Feng Shui, so they started to cause mischief.
But after all, they are just driven by instinct to suck blood everywhere. If you really want to talk about it, no one is that bad.
Some bastards are just full of bad ideas and just want to eat up others. Zombies can't do these things. "
Lei Zhongruo felt something, and asked: "So, to you, humans are more terrifying?"
"No."
Yin Xiu shook his head, "I'm just saying who is more vicious between the two, I didn't say I'm afraid."
"Why aren't you afraid?"
"Because I have this."
Yin Xiu stretched out his fists, "No matter what kind of bastard or bad guy he is, there is no one who can't be defeated with one punch. If so, just punch him again, that's all."
"Good spirit!"
Lei Zhong nodded, "In this case, you are worthy of being the last person to die in my hands."
"You must have a life-and-death duel with me? I thought people like you would wait quietly for death." Yin Xiu asked.
"You are the great enemy of the imperial court. You are in trouble now and will be even more troublesome in the future. If I kill you before you become a person, I will not leave my name behind, but I will be proud of you."
As he spoke, he walked to the side, stepped and kicked his feet, and he brought out two stone stools and stood them opposite each other.
"As I said before, you can fight while sitting down."
Lei Zhong sat down on a stool and waited for Yin Xiu to sit down.
Yin Xiu didn't hesitate, walked forward and sat down on another stool. The two sat opposite each other, with their knees touching their knees, and they could reach over the opposite shoulders.
Drawing Le Bazi is a dueling method popular in the north.
The two parties in the duel were bare-handed, sitting on stools, with their knees touching their knees. They only used their waists and spines to exert force and adjust their arms. There was no competition at all in pace and footwork. Life and death depended only on the slightest move in their hands.
Yin Xiu took off his windbreaker and put it aside neatly, wearing only a long-sleeved shirt.
Lei Zhong straightened his collar and wiped his face with his hands, looking very solemn.
“When I was a child, there were several martial arts schools below my house, which formed a street, and people who practiced martial arts in the nearby area went there.
Or go to learn martial arts, or go to fight or play in the gym.
I saw this a lot when I was a kid. Weapons were not seen on the street, but in the martial arts studio it was just a sparring session, a competition rather than a fight, so there were all kinds of weapons available.
I have seen many people who use spears and double swords, these weapons that others think are very scary, and I like them very much.
But one day, I saw someone coming to kick the ball. They didn’t use weapons or use any fists and kicks, they just sat there and slapped each other.
The two sat on their knees, drinking tea and chatting like friends. After finishing a cup of tea, the guy moved away and spent another half cup of tea, one lying down and the other sitting. "
"It seems interesting?"
Yin Xiu chuckled lightly and put his hand over.
Lei Zhong glanced at him and extended his hand. The two of them placed their hands on their wrists, elbows on their elbows, and looked at each other.
They sat in silence like this, each other could hear each other's steady and even breathing.
After a while, I don’t know who made the first move, but Yin Xiu’s elbow began to move and hung towards Lei Zhong’s temple.
Lei Zhong rubbed his hands together, as if turning a plate in his hands. As he moved around, Yin Xiu's attack was blocked by him, and Lei Zhong's hands also took advantage of the opportunity to touch Yin Xiu's eyes.
Yin Xiu's clothes bulged behind her back. While leaning her upper body back, she stretched out her hands to support Lei Zhong's chin.
Lei Zhong's pupils widened, veins popped up on his face, and his hands moved forward harder and harder.
boom! With a muffled sound, Yin Xiu fell down from the stone bench and sat down on the ground.
Lei Zhong was still sitting on the stone stool with a cold expression.
Neither of them spoke, just looked at each other as before.
Yin Xiu was silent for a while, then stood up and dusted himself off.
Then he went to get the windbreaker that was on the ground and put it on.
"Packing? It's indeed a very interesting way of fighting. I will remember it."
Lei Zhong stared at Yin Xiu, his lips moving, as if he wanted to say something, but in the end no words came out. After a muffled groan, blood flowed from his lips, nostrils, and corners of his eyes.
"Taiyi saves Ku Tianzun!"
Yin Xiu took out the talisman paper from his pocket and threw it on Lei Zhong's body. As soon as he squeezed the sword formula with his fingers, the flames ignited and engulfed his figure.
……
After taking a deep breath to calm down the rush of breath from the life-and-death duel just now, Yin Xiu closed her eyes and began to search for Ma Xiaoyu's location in her mind.
But when the head-lowering technique arrived at the main altar, it seemed to be affected in some way.
The coordinates in the head-lowering technique only mean that Ma Xiaoyu is here, but Yin Xiu has to find the specific location by himself.
Looking at the corpses everywhere, Yin Xiu felt his scalp numb.
No matter what, he didn't want Ma Xiaoyu to be one of them.
Although this is unlikely, in the world of Infernal Affairs, weird things can happen.
Although there was not much movement between him and Lei Zhong just now, they still stayed here long enough.
At this time, Ma Xiaoyu has not shown up yet, does this mean?
In this way, Yin Xiu's heart became more solemn, and she walked into the ground that was already full of blood and minced meat, and inspected the corpses one by one.
After walking almost half a circle, Yin Xiu's heart suddenly tightened and she could hardly breathe.
Because he saw, in the corner, Ma Xiaoyu was lying there, with a trace of blood on his lips and a pale complexion.
Yin Xiu didn't know how he got close to her. He just felt that something went wrong. The most dangerous place was obviously where his mother was. Why did Ma Xiaoyu encounter such a series of murders after arriving at the main altar?
He couldn't understand. At this time, Yin Xiu felt that his originally clear mind had turned into a ball of mud. He couldn't distinguish and understand many most terrible thing happened after all...
Yin Xiu knelt down and put his hand under Ma Xiaoyu's nose. The moist and familiar feeling in the past had completely disappeared.
In fact, when he took Ma Xiaoyu into his arms, the cold feeling coming from the other person's skin had already made him feel uncomfortable.
I don't know how to describe it, Yin Xiu's mind is blank at the moment.
Still feeling unwilling to do so, he untied Ma Xiaoyu's long cloak and reached out to confirm her heartbeat again.
A soft hand clasped Yin Xiu's wrist.
"What, you want to molest someone in public?"
"What kind of public? Apart from you and me, are there any living people here?"
"It seems so."
Ma Xiaoyu's face and lips quickly returned to color. She stood up from Yin Xiu's arms and looked around, then she looked at Yin Xiu again.
"Why are your eyes red? Did you cry just now?"
Ma Xiaoyu pointed at his eyes and suddenly smiled happily.
"Who do you think I am?"
Yin Xiu glared at her, "The smell of blood is too strong, it's smoked."
"Okay, okay, smoked."
Ma Xiaoyu still couldn't stop laughing and couldn't straighten up for a long time.
Yin Xiu could only say speechlessly: "Are you not dead?"
"What, do you really want me to die?"
"I hope, I hope so much!" Yin Xiu gritted her teeth, "By the way, what happened just now?"
Ma Xiaoyu glanced at him, her face sinking into two pear holes.
"I used the [suspended death technique] to pretend to be dead."
"Suspended death? What, you're afraid of too many people, so you lie down on the ground and pretend to be dead?"
"Who do you think I am? Those bastards, let alone hurt me, it's very difficult to even touch the corner of my clothes. Do I need to pretend to be dead just because of this?"
Ma Xiaoyu's eyes widened, obviously very dissatisfied with Yin Xiu's speculation.
"Ever since I separated from you, I have felt that someone is watching me.
It's not the kind of magic or head-down. You know my inspiration has always been very strong. If someone uses magic to track me, I will definitely feel it.
Later, this feeling of being watched and observed became stronger and stronger, and I began to realize that maybe the person observing me was my mother.
I tried several methods along the way, but I couldn't seem to get away from my mother's eyes.
What?You said my mother has no eyelids?That's no wonder.
Anyway, there was a big fight here later, with corpses everywhere, and then I found that her gaze on me suddenly weakened when I fell into the battle formation.
Perhaps the fighting and bloody atmosphere here affected her perception, weakened or blocked something.
So when I was halfway through the fight, I thought that I had lost contact with Luo Wei anyway and could not catch up with them, so I simply used the fake death technique to pretend to be dead to avoid my mother's tracking. "
"Then what's the result?" Yin Xiu was a little curious.
"The natural result is that my mother's gaze on me disappeared."
Ma Xiaoyu blinked, "And at this moment I can feel that my mother is watching you more than she is watching me, but at this moment, even when you are talking to me, she can't find me.
Because to my mother, I am already a dead person.
Unless I meet her, she won't be aware of my presence for the time being. "
"So powerful?"
Yin Xiu couldn't help but marvel, "How about you teach me how to avoid the gaze of that peeping tom?"
Ma Xiaoyu shook his head, "This is a child's skill. It's too late for you to learn it now."
"Oh, that is too."
Yin Xiu sighed, "I haven't been a boy for a long time."
Ma Xiaoyu shook her head, just regarded this as part of Yin Xiu's daily harassment, and let it go after hearing it.
"By the way, why is my mother paying so much attention to you? Zhuowu has been saying this since we were on the surface.
After we came to the world of Wujian, I felt that this kind of gaze was ever-present. Especially at this time, I even felt that my mother was floating above your head, observing your every word and deed. "
"Don't scare me."
Yin Xiu covered her forehead in pain, "The reason why my mother cares about me so much is because my fate of Shaoyang and Taiyin can help it become an immortal. And why it can observe us, please tell me..."
"I see."
Ma Xiaoyu looked solemn, "The spider spirit is so powerful, I'm afraid it's no longer an ordinary demon king."
Yin Xiu agreed: "Before, I thought Mr. Huang San and others were already the demon kings under the earth, but now they are compared with my mother.
They are just fish in a pond somewhere, and the old mother is the owner of that pond, but she doesn't eat fish, so she is not interested in the fish under her eyes at all, and lets them flop around and swim around. go. "
Ma Xiaoyu blinked again, "When I was a child, I often listened to stories told by my elders at home.
They said that the ancestors of the Ma family had dealt with monsters that moved mountains and opened seas. At that time, I only regarded them as stories.
After I learned Taoism, I only regarded it as some kind of exaggerated description.
Because whether it is Taoism or magic power, it has its limits and restrictions.
Bai Suzhen, with the golden mountains covered with water, and Fa Hai, with a green dragon on his left and a white tiger on his back, are just characters that appear in the play. In today's world, there is absolutely no possibility that such an existence would exist.
But my mother really made me feel that terrible sense of oppression.
Among the weird monsters I have ever seen, I am afraid it will be the most difficult to deal with. "
As she said that, she looked at Yin Xiu again, "What should we do now? As you said, leave the world of Wujian as soon as possible?"
"Yes, but that will only happen after we find Liu Banxian and Luo Wei."
"They were heading in that direction."
Ma Xiaoyu pointed to a passage, "Zhuo Wu and the people from the White Lotus Sect may have gone there too."
After Ma Xiaoyu finished speaking, she was about to stand up, but Yin Xiu stopped her and asked seriously: "To be honest, how many times have you used the suspended animation technique?"
"This is the first time I've used it. Are there any problems?"
"The problem is big!"
Yin Xiu said seriously: "This kind of magic can really kill you if you are not careful."
"But am I not living well?"
Seeing that he was worried, Ma Xiaoyu reached out and put Yin Xiu's palm on her forehead, "Do you feel it? Your body temperature is extremely normal."
"Just probing the forehead may not be accurate. I remember a doctor said that before."
Yin Xiu put her hand on Ma Xiaoyu's thigh. (End of chapter)
