Qin Xiao's thin body still seemed extraordinarily heavy for a twelve or thirteen-year-old girl.Si Kongling used all his strength to carry the unconscious Qin Xiao behind his back, and stepped forward step by step, looking for a hidden place that could shelter him from the wind and rain.

Before taking a few steps, Si Kongling sprained his foot. He staggered and Qin Xiao, who was on his back, immediately rolled off her body. Sikongling hurriedly turned around, and the seriously injured and unconscious person had already walked along the slope She fell all the way down, sharp small stones cut her skin, and there were several bright red cuts on the white clothes. Si Kongling chased after her, but no matter what, she couldn't catch Qin Xiao's rolling body.Si Kongling cried out in anxiety and fear, her sprained ankle was red, swollen and painful, her foot slipped, and she also rolled down the slope.

Qin Xiao, who was unconscious, bumped into a boulder and stopped rolling. Si Kongling bumped into Qin Xiao's back, so it only hurt, not injured.When Si Kongling saw Qin Xiao's bloody forehead, he really wanted to slap himself.

Qin Xiao's back was bloody and bloody, and the hidden snowflakes were still embedded in his body. Because of the rising temperature, the snowflakes began to melt, and the blood was diluted by the snowy water, slowly oozing out along the hollow blood holes.

Si Kongling felt frightened and hopeless, and felt that Qin Xiao might not survive tomorrow, so she hugged Qin Xiao's shoulders and began to cry.

"Who was crying over there, waking up the old man to sleep!" An irritable and somewhat impatient voice came from the darkness. Sikong Ling was startled, and only after looking closely under the moonlight did he realize that the mountain There is actually a secret passage at the bottom of the valley.

The secret passage was pitch black and nothing could be seen clearly. Si Kongling dragged Qin Xiao's body and walked along the secret passage. When I saw the road clearly, it was pitch black when I walked behind, and I couldn't see my fingers.Sikong Ling's heart started to feel chilly, and he regretted entering this weird and dark secret passage.

The secret passage is narrow, allowing only one person to pass through, but the end of the secret passage is wide and vast, with a unique world.This is a cave with a huge space, surrounded by streams and springs. The blue spring water fluctuates and sways, and the slightly swaying water light is reflected on the rock wall of the cave.There is a beautiful galaxy above the head, countless stars hang in the night sky, and the starlight shines brightly in the caves in this square world.

"Who came in!" A hoarse roar came from the cave.

It was an old man whose legs and feet were bound by thick chains. The old man's greasy and messy white hair almost covered his entire face. The color, Si Kongling estimated, the clothes hadn't been washed for almost ten years.

"Grandpa, my master... master is unconscious and seriously injured, temporarily staying... here for the night." Si Kongling sobbed softly while answering the old man's questions intermittently.

"I have some medical skills. You bring her here and I'll show her." The old man's throat was a little dry, he raised his head and opened his mouth wide, and the spring water dripping from the rock wall above his head fell into his mouth.The old man moistened his throat and stuck out his tongue to lick his lips.

Si Kongling was overjoyed, and hurriedly helped Qin Xiao to walk in front of the old man. The old man sniffed with his nose, and suddenly opened his bloody mouth, biting Qin Xiao's arm.

With the help of the faint moonlight, Sikong Ling could clearly see the hellish face of that old man.The old man's face was covered with large areas of hideous burns, and two wooden sticks were stuck in the old man's eyes, and he had obviously been stabbed blind.

Si Kongling fell to the ground in fright, and Qin Xiao also slammed on her heavily, but luckily the old man's hands and feet were restrained, so he didn't bite Qin Xiao's arm.

"Hungry, I'm so hungry, I want to eat meat," the old man became mad, struggling hard to break free from the shackles of the iron chain, the iron chain jingled, as if it was about to break.

Si Kongling's face turned pale with fright, she hugged Qin Xiao's cold body tightly, only by leaning against her could she feel a little bit of security.

"She is dying, and she will die before tonight, little baby, give her to me quickly, let me eat her!" The old man was like a hungry beast, the smell of human flesh made him salivate and drool .

A chubby little mouse ran past the chain, and as soon as it passed the old man's chin, it was swallowed alive by the old man. Sikong Ling could even clearly hear the mouse's screams and eat with gusto. The sound of the old man smacking his lips.

Si Kongling was so disgusted that she vomited out, several times of frights made her faint, despair was like a sponge, sucking away her last hope bit by bit.

"I'll roast a pheasant for you, and you can save her for me, okay?" Knowing that the old man's proficiency in medical skills might just be deceiving her, she still begged the old man as if grasping at the last straw.

The aroma of the roasted pheasant, which was charred on the outside and tender on the inside, wafted around. The old man licked his lower lip, drooling. He had survived by eating mice and grasshoppers for ten years, and almost forgot the taste of this delicious chicken.

Smelling the delicious roasted pheasant, Si Kongling has no appetite at all, his stomach is empty, like a hollow heart.

After eating and drinking enough, and enjoying the most delicious meal in ten years, the old man's temper improved slightly, and he checked Qin Xiao's pulse as promised.

"How is it?" Si Kongling didn't know if the old man was a quack doctor, but until now, only dead horses were treated as living horse doctors.Although she had learned medical skills from Grandpa Guigu for several months, Qin Xiao's injury was so serious that it was already beyond her ability.

"The meridians are all severed, the bones are shattered, and it is a miracle that she fell into the abyss without dying on the spot. In my opinion, you can collect her body tomorrow." The old man's words seemed to be a death sentence, and Si Kongling hung My heart sank little by little.

"She has deep inner strength, she will never die so easily!" Si Kongling choked up, unable to accept this fact at all.

"Even if you don't die, you'll still be a cripple who will always be paralyzed in bed. Why do you bother with this trouble?" The old man smacked his lips, still reminiscing about the taste of the roasted pheasant just now.

Si Kongling's eyes lit up suddenly, and the dawn of hope lit up in front of her eyes, "Even if she becomes a disabled person who can't move, I can still stay by the bedside to take care of her and stay with her until we grow old." go."

The old man snorted coldly, apparently not believing Si Kongling's words, "Little baby, there is no filial son in front of the sick bed for a long time. After a few years, you will get tired of her and wish she would die quickly, so as not to drag you down."

Si Kongling ignored the old man, she suddenly thought of something, "By the way, Jade Leaf Flower with Jade Blood from Nine Springs! It is said that this medicine can bring the dead back to life, my master is saved!"

The old man turned his head to the side with a shocked expression, "Little baby, where did you get this medicine?"

"The number one genius doctor in the world, Grandpa Guigu gave it to me." Sikong Ling's voice was full of joy.Fortunately, she has been carrying the Nine Springs Jasper Jade Leaf Flower with her, because it is too rare and precious, and has been reluctant to use it. This time it finally came in handy.

"What's your name?" The old man hurriedly said, trembling and excitement faintly revealed in his voice.

"Si Kongling."

"Where's your master?"

"Qin Xiao."

Si Kongling was suddenly a little thankful that when Grandpa Guigu asked her to choose medicine or poison, she chose to study medicine.Although she has only studied medicine for two or three months, she is not proficient in medical skills, but she has a photographic memory and has read all the medical skills in the Yaolu Mountain Villa Academy, so now she knows how to use the rumored Nine Springs Jade Leaf Flower.

If Si Kongling remembers correctly, this medicinal material is naturally extremely precious, but it still lacks a medicine primer, which is human flesh and blood.Cutting flesh and feeding medicine, Si Kongling couldn't believe it when she saw this article recorded in medical books at that time, thinking it was just rumors and nonsense, but now, she has no choice but to believe it.

"Little baby, cut off the chains and let me go!" The old man's wrists and ankles bound by chains ooze blood. After ten years of soaking in blood, the black iron chains are stained with dried blood and become It became dark red.

"No!" Si Kongling shook her head vigorously, and immediately refused without thinking. She hadn't forgotten that the old man almost tore off the flesh on Qin Xiao's arm just now.

The old man seemed to have expected Si Kongling's reaction, sighed regretfully, and said earnestly, "Little baby, you probably don't know how to use the Nine Springs Jasper Jade Leaf Flower, do you know that there is still one medicine left to save your master?" Primer?"

Thinking of cutting the flesh later, Sikong Ling trembled slightly in fear, closed his eyes, calmed down, and finally summoned up the courage to say, "I know that only by using human flesh as a medicine to induce The medicinal properties of Jade Leaf Flower with Jade Blood from Nine Springs." After saying these words, Si Kongling heaved a long sigh of relief as if she had unloaded a burden, because she had made up her mind and would never repent.

"Little baby, look at your thin skin and tender flesh. You don't know if you will live until tomorrow after cutting off a piece of meat. I don't have much life left anyway, old man. I'm blind and see nothing. I've been like that for ten years. I’m tied here like a wooden stick, and it’s meaningless to live. Why don’t you just cut my flesh and use it as a primer for medicine.” The old man spoke very frankly and easily, without any hint of sadness or indignation, as if death was the best thing for him The most desired destination.

For some reason, Si Kongling suddenly felt a little sad.Years of being restricted by chains, feeding on rats, insects and ants, living alone in the darkness, waiting for death day after day, with no one around me to talk to, I am afraid It's better to die than to live.Darkness, loneliness, and despair, Sikong Ling didn't know how the old man survived all these years.

"Thank you. When you're hungry, I'll roast a pheasant for you." The old man was willing to cut up the meat for medicine, which moved Si Kongling especially. It is rare.Si Kongling still remembered that Qin Xiao taught her that in this world, no one treats you for granted, so learn to be grateful.

Sikongling looked worriedly at the iron chain that was as thick as an arm. Although the iron chain was rusted, it was still strong and solid, as firm as a stone plate. Sikongling didn't have Qin Xiao's profound and powerful skills, how could he cut the iron chain? ?

Seeing Sikongling's tightly furrowed brows and sad face, the old man laughed and said, "Little baby, the Jiaohong sword is invincible, and you can do anything by cutting mountains and rocks, so why should you be afraid of a little iron chain?"

Si Kongling was taken aback, and asked in confusion, "Grandpa, how did you tell that the sword was Jiaohong?" , like an ordinary iron sword, lying crookedly beside Qin Xiao.

The old man couldn't stop laughing, as if he was quite proud, "Qin Xiao, the number one swordsman in Loulan, is known to everyone, and her saber Jiaohong is the number one sword that people in the world covet. What's more, this sword is still I gave it to her with my own hands."

Si Kongling rolled his eyes, he couldn't believe it in his heart, this crazy old man must be talking big and bragging again.If he was really that powerful, how could he be tied up here for ten years without looking like a human being or a ghost?
