Chapter 328 Two Immortals Under the Bridge
In front of the Sanxian Auditorium is a spacious courtyard.
The courtyard is surrounded by walls made of green bricks and green tiles on three sides. There is an arch on each of the three walls, leading to different directions. The one in the front is larger, and the ones on the side are smaller.
The servants rushed in from the main gate.
They moved slowly because they were holding various heavy weapons in their hands.
Guandao, spear, saber, long-handled battle axe, mace... all the weapons were rusty and covered with blood. Wu Xian had no doubt that he would be killed on the spot if hit by any of them.
As the saying goes, two fists are no match for four hands.
When Wu Xian and the other man saw this scene, they ran towards the arch on the left at the same time. The terrain on the left looked a little more complicated, which was more conducive to escaping the pursuit of the servants.
"You are such a pessimist. The enemy will come soon!"
"Now we are in trouble!"
Du E bit her lip, her face gloomy, and had no time to refute Wu Xian's nonsense.
Although the servants were not moving fast, it was difficult for them to speed up. The rain made the ground quickly become muddy, and she felt very strenuous every time she lifted her feet.
After running for a while, the two decided that this was not a solution.
The servants were shouting and screaming while chasing them, which would attract other servants and it wouldn't be long before the two of them were caught.
Wu Xian rolled his eyes and came up with a plan to escape. He pointed at the black tube in Du E's hand and said, "Give this to me!"
Du E handed it over while explaining, "This is a special weapon from the Miao border, a witch blowgun, which can shoot out special poisonous needles. Only I can use it to its full effect. If you want to use it, it's just an ordinary blowgun."
Wu Xian took the Wu Gu blowgun, measured the length, and gestured, and felt that it was just right.
"Which side is blown with the mouth?"
"This way..."
The two communicated while running, and this kind of communication greatly affects speed. Just after saying these two sentences, they were almost caught up by the servants.
At this critical moment, Wu Xian actually stopped and indicated that he wanted to carry Du E on his back.
Du E climbed onto Wu Xian's back swiftly: "Do you have the ability to shake it off? Whether it's flying or jumping, remind me so I can be prepared."
"It's a slippery one!"
Wu Xian took out the Ruyi telescopic stick, made it into the length of a blowgun, and then, holding the stick in one hand and the blowgun in the other, he slammed it into the ground.
bass!
Wu Xian and the other man rushed out in a flash!
The servants who were about to catch up with Wu Xian and the other man were suddenly left behind. The leading servant angrily swung the flail in his hand, but it only hit the ground behind Wu Xian and the other man.
The Moon Palace dancing shoes on Wu Xian's feet made it as easy as walking on ice in the mud. The blowgun and stick served as ski poles, allowing Wu Xian to adjust speed and direction while sliding.
"Luckily I've been working out for a month, otherwise I really wouldn't be able to carry you!"
Du E looked down at the blowgun. It turned out that Wu Xian asked which end was for the mouthpiece in order to prevent the mouthpiece from directly touching the ground.
Although the two men increased their speed, the number of pursuers increased. Every time they passed a place, they would alarm the servants in that place, some of whom even had bows and crossbows.
Du E stood behind Wu Xian and cast spells to interfere several times, thus preventing Wu Xian from being shot by the servants.
As everyone was competing with each other, most of the He family became lively.
After a while.
Wu Xian stopped.
The good news is that the pursuers have been left behind for a while and can't catch up for a while...
The bad news is that they have hit a dead end.
It was too late to find another way, and now they only had one choice.
Du E jumped down from behind Wu Xian and quickly took out a white flower from her pocket. This white flower was the 'sacrifice' they got from killing the moonlight monster.
"One, two, three...nine petals in total." "Eat mine first!"
Du E plucked off a petal and threw it to Wu Xian, then bit off one for herself and chewed it vigorously with her eyes closed. The petal must have tasted bad, because Du E's little face was wrinkled into a mask of pain.
bass!
suddenly.
Du E disappeared out of thin air.
Wu Xian breathed a sigh of relief and swallowed the petals in his mouth.
Dozens of He family servants ran over with ferocious weapons in hand, and witnessed Wu Xian disappearing out of thin air. They walked around in a daze, their skin soaked by water, and their faces began to swell like wet paper...
……
"It's raining……"
In a small storehouse in the He Mansion, Li Juxian was bandaging his arm. Su Xuan stood at the door, carefully opening a crack to observe the outside world.
"Can't count on natural moonlight tonight."
"So there is only one way to reach the mass grave... Eat the petals. Those followers said that this white flower has the ability to break the boundary between yin and yang."
"But just smelling the scent is not enough. This flower can only allow us to 'see' but not 'enter'. If we want to enter the other world hidden in the Undead City, I'm afraid we have to eat the petals."
Tread, tap, tap...
There were hurried footsteps outside the door, and many servants ran past with weapons in their hands.
Su Xuan smiled and shrugged his shoulders: "Very good, someone has lured the servants away. Before eating the petals, we can go somewhere else to have a look."
He opened the door and was about to go out, but found that Li Juxian was still sitting in the corner, with no intention of getting up.
"Are you seriously injured?"
Li Juxian did not answer him, but just sat there with a gloomy face. Su Xuan seemed to understand something. He closed the door and turned around to sit facing Li Juxian.
"Some things can be said after we get out alive."
Li Juxian remained silent. The atmosphere between the two was even more depressing than that of the blessed land itself.
After a while.
Li Juxian finally spoke.
"This is one of the few opportunities for us to be alone since we entered the blessed land... The danger tonight will be far greater than before. I might die, and you might die too. Let's make it clear now about the things we have been avoiding!"
Su Xuan smiled bitterly.
"You are the homeless Li Juxian, and I am the drunkard Su Xuan under the bridge. Wouldn't it be good for the two of us to continue to rot like this?"
"No, I've had enough!"
Li Juxian shook his head.
"I'm Li Xian. Three years ago, I was the one who murdered the entire family at No. 12593, Jinyu Community, Xicheng District, Fuyuan City. If you want to seek revenge on me, come on. I won't fight back."
Su Xuan looked up at the spider web on the ceiling and asked, "When did you know that I was a relative of the deceased in that case?"
Li Juxian sighed.
"Since you found me..."
"I saw a family photo of yours at the crime scene. You were the center of the photo, so I have a very clear memory of it."
"I don't understand why you found me and did nothing but drink beside me all day, but it's time to end this matter."
Su Xuan grabbed his head with his hands, looking painful.
"It would be nice to have some wine at this time..."
